There has been Wars in the Middle East for over four thousands years.
Arabs against Arabs and Arabs against Hebrews.

Genesis 16:12
And the angel of the LORD said unto her, (Hagar the Egyptian) Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.
12. And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.
Genesis 17:22
18 And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee!
19 And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.
20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.
21 But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.
22 And he left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.

Two fish swimming in opposite directions and frequently connected by a string are the symbol for Pisces. Pisces individuals, being a water sign, are known for their flexibility, creativity, and empathy. They possess a natural sense of intuition and compassion, often prioritizing the needs of others. However, people born under this sign may struggle with setting and maintaining personal boundaries.

3 #Nakshatras and 9 #Padas have an impact on each Rashi, which spans 30 degrees, and together they help to shape personality traits. If your moon sign degree falls between 16:40′ to 30, then you belong to the #Revati #Nakshatra. This Nakshatra symbolizes the ability to transcend and is associated with hopefulness. It allows individuals born under Pisces to look beyond the ordinary aspects of everyday life.

Revati, a name that means “One who nourishes, bringing growth and prosperity,” embodies the essence of being a guiding light. It signifies someone who shines brightly and illuminates the path for others to follow. Revati is dedicated to rescuing individuals who are in need of special protection, including children and animals.
Nakshatra Deity #Pushyan:– the lord of the Anils. He is a form of #Shiva, specifically one of the 12 Adityas.
Pushyan is responsible for guiding souls to #heaven.
It is linked to old-age homes.
Revati reached out to veterinary doctors. Swati also indicated the same. Lord Shiva is closely associated with animals.

What Revati Nakshatra is like in general

As one of the most pleasant nakshatras, it has a good effect on people who are born into it, giving them a sense of elegance and grace. Even though they are helpful and have some social graces, they may be able to stay unaffected by the stresses of situations. Their appearance is graceful and well-lit, with lines of knowledge and educational success. Changes and turns rarely have an impact on them.

Their faces and bodies are proportionally beautiful, and their poise, friendliness, knowledge, and ability to figure things out are the most important parts of their personalities. It also includes having a great mind and a desire to learn.

Behavior traits
Revati-born people are kind and outgoing. By showing compassion, you get respect, love, and wonder. Reaching out and helping others drives their actions. They are generally considered mystical because of this.
It’s odd that they don’t care about helpful stuff despite their superb social abilities. They dwell in dreams and thinking to avoid reality.
Positive qualities

Besides being pillars of strength and support for society, such locals are religious, ethical, and principled. Their culture, refinement, and etiquette are also valued. Their optimism, which is naturally beneficial, is another great feature.

Negative aspects
Negative aspects
Because of the negative effects of some planets, natives may be prone to laziness and sadness. Aside from these things, their rigid adherence to principles and accepted rules of behavior may lead to bad traits like stubbornness, temper, and a strong will. This may lead to orthodoxy and belief, which are both bad things.

People born in the Revati Nakshatra have a choice of jobs

People with a prominent Revathi in their horoscope are good candidates for jobs in scientific study, archeological survey, writing, and literature. They can also do well in jobs linked to management, astrology, and astronomy by using their knowledge and social skills.

Compatibility and Incompatibility of Revati Nakshatra

Magha and Revati are incompatible based on nakshatra obstruction principles. The concept of “yoni kuta” states that Bharati and Revathi, represented by male and female elephants, are the most compatible. Elephants’ enmity against lions makes them incompatible with Purva Bhadrapada and Dhanistha, while their friendly nature towards monkeys, sheep, and snakes makes them compatible with the corresponding nakshatra. As a result, Revathi nakshatra is compatible with the Shravana, Uttaraashada, Krittika, Rohini, and Pushya nakshatras.

Favorable: Initiations, Marriage, Sexuality, Transaction and Dealership of Goods, Music, Art, Occult, Spirituality, Healing, Leisure Actions and Gardening, Conclusions, Business or Financial Matters, Exchanging Goods, Music, Drama, and Creative Activities, Charity, Studying Spiritual or Occult Teachings, Healing and Treating Ailments, Activities for Leisure and Relaxation, ending or Completing Activity

Unfavorable: Activities requiring Severe Tactics or Bold Action, Overcoming obstacles; enmity; calamities; Sharp actions; surgery; Physically Strenuous activities; the Last Two Padas of Revati are not Supportive of Beginning a New Activity.

Meaning: “One who Nourishes bringing Growth and Prosperity”, Revati means the “Shining One”

“When the prominent Revati Nakshatra aligns with the link between Mercury and the Moon in a horoscope, the person is swept away by their own contemplative thoughts.”

Individuals born under the Revati Nakshatra are blessed with a natural inclination towards romanticism and a strong desire for a fulfilling love life. They are drawn toward dreamy and imaginative notions of love and seek to find both stability and novelty in their relationships.
If Revati Nakshatra has a P.A.C. connection with the 5th house or lord, they may desire their partner to openly express love, as it brings them a sense of reassurance and deepens their connection. It’s truly heartwarming how they value these expressions of love, as it shows just how much they care and cherish their relationship. However, every now and then, this beautiful longing for love and affection can stem from a whimsical and enchanting notion of love, much like Cinderella’s fairy tale, or a deep soulful connection from a past life. (While astrology deliberately suggests that long-lasting love can have its fair share of ups and downs, it’s important to remember that not all love stories unfold exactly as we imagine in our dreams.) It’s absolutely wonderful to dream of a fairytale romance, but it’s equally important to embrace the beautiful complexities and joys that come with real-life relationships.

The Revati Nakshatra holds great significance in Vedic astrology. The positioning of planets in this area can greatly impact their characteristics. Hence, it is important to understand and analyze the influence of the Revati Nakshatra on a deeper level for a comprehensive astrological reading.

The West's main problem is that they allowed the wall to be opened. That was the end of them (even if they were still a bit of a zombie). I have the music for it on my label.

I've been thinking about Jordan and Syria. The wars in the Middle East have been going on for over 4,000 year. Jordan should be stepping into the spotlight soon. In the past they haven't supported Hamas, but as of late, they are becoming more positive about them. Such is their hatred for Israel.

For the most part the people and government of Jordan still don't like The Muslim Brotherhood and terrorist groups supported by Iran.

2024
Total population in the Arab World is 89,689,549 million.
Total population in Israel is 9,311,652.
- Earth is home to more than 1.9 billion Muslims. Islam is also the world's fastest-growing religion. The Islamic population is mainly split between 1.5 billion Sunni Muslims and 240-340 million Shia Muslims, with the remainder scattered among a few smaller denominations.
- As of 2023, the world's core Jewish population (those identifying as Jews above all else) was estimated at 15.7 million, which is approximately 0.2% of the 8 billion worldwide population.
- Today, Islam is a prominent religion in both Gaza and the West Bank. Most of the population in the State of Palestine are Muslims (85% in the West Bank and 99% in the Gaza Strip).
- Sunnis constitute 85% of Palestinian Muslims, of which the predominant is Hanafi, which is one of the four schools of Islamic law in Sunni Islam. Salafism took root in Gaza in the 1970s, when Palestinian students returned from studying abroad at religious schools in Saudi Arabia. A number of Salafi groups in Gaza continue to receive support and funding from Riyadh.

The Israeli military is using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to identify 37,000 targets that are related to Hamas.
So. Will Islamic countries who support Hamas, and other terrorists organization, use their own high tech AI to map out targets?
No more Low Tech digging of tunnels.
Machines can make the death decisions without the burden of human emotions.

You don’t want this guy as a swim buddy.
#Redbarn #Beach in #East #Cork is closed to swimmers today following a sighting of the dangerous #Lion’s #Mane #jellyfish.

The red flags have been raised in the popular Youghal spot after the jellyfish, one of the largest species of jellyfish there is, was spotted in the water.

Most likely to be spotted in the waters of Ireland and the UK between June and late September, a sting from a Lion’s Mane jellyfish can be quite nasty, causing swelling, itching, burning, severe pain, and long red stripes that often blister.

All jellyfish possess stinging cells, “stingers”, on their tentacles. According to the HSE, brushing against tentacles can cause the release of these stingers which contain venom (poison).

“Depending on the type of jellyfish, the stingers may not be sharp enough and long enough to pierce the skin and the skin forms a natural barrier to most stings. More delicate areas, such as the eyes and lips, might be more easily pierced.” said a HSE spokesperson.

“However, the Lion’s Mane stinging cells are much sharper and can pierce skin easily resulting in a painful sting. Jellyfish stings in Ireland are not usually life-threatening and just require basic first aid and simple pain relief.”

What to do if you’re stung

If you do find yourself on the receiving end of a jellyfish sting, the advice is to head for the nearest chipper and get yourself some vinegar to rinse the area. Remove any visible tentacles, then soak the wound in hot water for 40 minutes.

We had a #cycletrip to #BudleighSalterton today, which is a nice round trip of 48 km. It was a very pleasant day, not too hot and with a refreshing breeze to keep you cool. Those of you in the know will be glad that I wore short trousers and so my pump could not get stuck in my trouser leg.

The #beach is made up of pebbles of various sizes ranging from the size of your hand (15-20 cm) down to less than a centimetre. The colours vary from #purple and #pink to #grey and #blue. Here's a typical assortment.
Pebbles on Budleigh Salterton beack

Looking out to #sea (the #EnglishChannel), you can see that the water is various colours too ranging from marine #blue and #green to #brown near the #shore where #sediment gets churned up. (Note, it is nothing to do with the current notorious practices of private water companies.)

Looking #west and #east respectively, you can see the #sandstone and #mudstone #geology of the #cliffs

Right up by the #sea, you can sea the small #waves lapping the #shore. I suppose this #photograph is technically a #selfie.

Finally, on the way home, I took a picture of the #cyclepath between BudleighSalterton and #Exmouth which stretches about 6 km and avoids motor traffic altogether. I can't think of many more pleasant routes to #cycle on.
