Total Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius June 15th

This particular eclipse in Sagittarius will be about learning the truth as opposed to being told lies. We are seeing this on a global level with authorities reporting far lower levels of radiation from the Japan nuclear disaster than are actually being found. The same is true of the volcano that has erupted in Chile where there is a fissure that is six miles long and three miles wide. Christchurch New Zealand has experienced a swarm of earthquakes in the last two days with yet more destruction, weakening of the infrastructure and thousands more left homeless. Yet, the government is still saying “we will rebuild.” Discerning the difference between truth and lies will be a challenge for all of us in the next eighteen months to come. This will affect us globally, nationally and on a personal basis.

Sagittarius is all about a quest for truth, adventure, travel, faith and an optimistic future. It represents the higher mind, education and expansion and the Lunar Eclipse can bring great fulfillment, a dream come true, or the release of some very heavy baggage, or a big ending that makes the way for something new and exciting. Jupiter, the planet of good fortune and abundance rules Sagittarius, so this Full Moon in Sagittarius in your chart could bring some good news, a spiritual awakening or even a new and exciting vision for your future in that particular life area.

It’s a good time to:

Think about the future and how you can improve yourself and your knowledge

Publish a book or an article

Have an adventure

Go to a party or host a celebration

Plan a big trip somewhere you haven’t been before

Teach, train, coach

Tell the truth as you see it – no frills attached!

Focus on the big picture

Find ways of having fun

Find deeper meaning in your life

Do some personal development

Explore, experiment, experience

Surround yourself with people from totally different backgrounds and cultures to yourself

Find a mentor or someone who inspires you

Think about your beliefs and discard the ones that limit you

Do something outside in the open air

Think about the meaning of life and what your purpose is

See everything in a positive light

Find your own teacher within

Take up a new sport

Ignite your natural enthusiasm and passion

Tell or write an interesting story

Open yourself up to new experiences

Think about what you want and take steps to realise your dreams

Recognise and appreciate the abundance around you

Celebrate your life

Count your blessings

Try not to force your view or opinion on another person. Allow them to see the situation differently and you can “agree to disagree.” Look at areas in your life that you are judging others – become aware of when it is destructive and alienating people from your life. Seek more knowledge and wisdom.

Wherever it falls in your chart will be a time for growth and learning.

It falls in my 6th house of work and service, and I am planning to take my business onto a whole new level. A much wider level than ever before and whilst it feels like a leap of faith, it is also very exciting too. I shall be tackling some very big subject areas that I think are of interest to many people: e.g. 2012 – the end of the old world and the beginning of a new one? The Mayan Calendar, Atlantis, to name but a few. This will shine a light on the way in which I can bring astrology to people from far and wide, in new and exciting, expansive ways – so that we can share opinions, views, insights and ideas together. It pushes me out of my comfort zone and forces me to look at a bigger picture for the astrology and to be of service to people around the world. Sagittarius is the teacher and mentor and this is exactly what I am planning to do in the next few weeks. So this Full Moon and lunar eclipse is coming at a wonderful time and the energies of this configuration will help me to expand out quickly and effectively.

Where does this Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse fall in your chart? Maybe it’s in your fourth house of home and family. This could indicate at least a six month period or longer where you will find it challenging to find balance between your home life and your work life. You may move to another country as Sagittarius does rule long distance travel and moves. Or maybe it falls in your eleventh house of friends and dreams. This could mean that you make some wonderful new friends in the next few months, people who encourage you, who stretch you into new areas that you never thought you’d explore. Those friendships that you have that are limiting and constrictive may drop by the wayside to make way for more empowering relationships.

Ultrasonic Destruction of Surfactants $310.92 This research focused on the use of sonication to destroy surfactants and surface tension properties in industrial wastewaters that affect traditional water treatment processes. We have investigated the sonochemical destruction of surfactants and a chelating agent to understand the release of metals from surfactants during sonication. In addition, the effects of physical properties of surfactants and the effect of ultrasonic frequency were investigated to gain an understanding of the factors affecting degradation. Successful partial or total destruction of surfactants resulting in the release of metals bound to surfactants may result in a significant cost savings of treatment plants. Sonochemical degradation of surfactants was observed to be more effective than nonsurfactant compounds. In addition, as the concentration is increased the degradation rate constant does not decrease as significantly as with nonsurfactant compounds in the NAP reactor. In fact, the total number of molecules degraded increases with concentration. The degradation of metal complexes is not as effective as in the absence of the metal. However, this is likely an artifact of the model complexing agent used at the hot bubble interface, significantly increasing ligand exchange kinetics and thus degradation of the complex.

A World at Total War: Global Conflict and the Politics of Destruction, 1937 1945 $44.12 Presenting the results of a fifth, and final, conference on the history of total war, this volume is devoted to the Second World War, which many scholars regard as the paradigmatic instance of total war. In considering the validity of this proposition, the contributors address a broad range of analytical problems that this vast conflict posed in its European and Asian theaters. They analyze modes of combat, mobilization of economies and societies, occupation regimes, noncombatant vulnerability, and the legal and moral issues raised by mid-twentieth century industrialized warfare.

Krakatau: The Destruction and Reassembly of an Island Ecosystem $38.06 After the eruption, Krakatau provided a unique opportunity to study the colonization of a sterile area by plants and animals across a sea barrier and the gradual incorporation of the newcomers into the developing ecosystem. "Krakatau" is a comprehensive account of the reassembly of a tropical forest ecosystem over the past century. Ian Thornton tackles the many questions and controversies surrounding the eruption and its aftermath. He writes, "The natural healing process has followed the most extreme form of ecological destruction possible, total biological extirpation. Yet the islands surviving the 1883 eruption are covered in secondary forest, and over 200 species of plants, 70 species of vertebrates, and thousands of invertebrate species now inhabit these forests." "Krakatau" will be essential reading for anyone who wishes to understand not just the rebirth of Krakatau but also the resilient nature of life everywhere.

The Civil War and the Limits of Destruction $22.21 The Civil War is often portrayed as the most brutal war in America’s history, a premonition of twentieth-century slaughter and carnage. In challenging this view, Mark E. Neely, Jr., considers the war’s destructiveness in a comparative context, revealing the sense of limits that guided the conduct of American soldiers and statesmen. Neely begins by contrasting Civil War behavior with U.S. soldiers’ experiences in the Mexican War of 1846. He examines Price’s Raid in Missouri for evidence of deterioration in the restraints imposed by the customs of war; and in a brilliant analysis of Philip Sheridan’s Shenandoah Valley campaign, he shows that the actions of U.S. cavalrymen were selective and controlled. The Mexican war of the 1860s between French imperial forces and republicans provided a new yardstick for brutality: Emperor Maximilian’s infamous Black Decree threatened captured enemies with execution. Civil War battles, however, paled in comparison with the unrestrained warfare waged against the Plains Indians. Racial beliefs, Neely shows, were a major determinant of wartime behavior. Destructive rhetoric was rampant in the congressional debate over the resolution to avenge the treatment of Union captives at Andersonville by deliberately starving and freezing to death Confederate prisoners of war. Nevertheless, to gauge the events of the war by the ferocity of its language of political hatred is a mistake, Neely argues. The modern overemphasis on violence in Civil War literature has led many scholars to go too far in drawing close analogies with the twentieth century’s "total war" and the grim guerrilla struggles of Vietnam.

Mirrors of Destruction: War, Genocide, and Modern Identity $31.3 Mirrors of Destruction examines the relationship between total war, state-organized genocide, and the emergence of modern identity. Here, Omer Bartov demonstrates that in the twentieth century there have been intimate links between military conflict, mass murder of civilian populations, and the definition and categorization of groups and individuals. These connections were most clearly manifested in the Holocaust, as the Nazis attempted to exterminate European Jewry under cover of a brutal war and with the stated goal of creating a racially pure Aryan population and Germanic empire. The Holocaust, however, can only be understood within the context of the century’s predilection for applying massive and systematic methods of destruction to resolve conflicts over identity. To provide the context for the "Final Solution," Bartov examines the changing relationships between Jews and non-Jews in France and Germany from the outbreak of World War I to the present. Rather than presenting a comprehensive history, or a narrative from a single perspective, Bartov views the past century through four interrelated prisms. He begins with an analysis of the glorification of war and violence, from its modern birth in the trenches of World War I to its horrifying culmination in the presentation of genocide by the SS as a glorious undertaking. He then examines the pacifist reaction in interwar France to show how it contributed to a climate of collaboration with dictatorship and mass murder. The book goes on to argue that much of the discourse on identity throughout the century has had to do with identifying and eliminating society’s "elusive enemies" or "enemies from within." Bartov concludes withan investigation of modern apocalyptic visions, showing how they have both encouraged mass destructions and opened a way for the reconstruction of individual and collective identifies after a catastrophe. Written with verve, Mirrors of Destruction is rich in interpretations and theoretical tools and provides a new framework for understanding a central trait of modern history.

Guernica and Total War $18.07 One of the most horrific innovations of the twentieth century was the deliberate strategy of total warfare–the obliteration of entire civilian populations. The first and in many ways the most striking use of this extreme measure came nearly 70 years ago when the ancient Basque hilltop town of Guernica was destroyed by the bombs of the German Condor. Ian Patterson begins with a graphic account of what happened in Guernica on April 26, 1937, and its place in the course of the Spanish Civil War. This event focused the spotlight of media attention on the town of Guernica, and established Picasso’s painting as the most famous modern image of the horrors of war. Yet Picasso’s "Guernica" was only one of a huge number of cultural artifacts–paintings, films, novels, poems, plays–to explore the idea of indiscriminate death from the air. From the Blitz to Hiroshima to the destruction of the World Trade Center to daily carnage in Darfur and Iraq, war has been increasingly directed against civilians, who constitute an ever larger proportion of its casualties. Patterson explores how modern men and women respond to the threat of new warfare with new capacities for imagining aggression and death. An unflinching history of the locationless terror that so many people feel today, "Guernica and Total War" will engage anyone interested in the survival of cultures amid the disasters of war.

Bagration 1944: The Destruction of Army Group Centre $18.5 On 22 June 1944, three years to the day after Germany’s 1941 invasion of the Soviet Union, the Red Army launched a massive offensive in Byelorussia. Codenamed ‘Operation Bagration’, this campaign climaxed five weeks later with the Red Army at the gates of Warsaw. The Wehrmacht’s Army Group Centre was routed, a total of 17 Wehrmacht divisions were utterly destroyed, and over 50 other German divisions were shattered. It was the most calamitous defeat of the German armed forces in World War II.

Dynamic of Destruction: Culture and Mass Killing in the First World War $18.04 On 26 August 1914 the world-famous university library in the Belgian town of Louvain was looted and destroyed by German troops. The international community reacted in horror and the behavior of the Germans at Louvain came to be seen as the beginning of a different style of war, without the rules that had governed military conflict up to that point–a more total war, in which enemy civilians and their entire culture were now legitimate targets. As award-winning historian Alan Kramer shows in this gripping and insightful volume, the destruction at Louvain was simply one symbolic moment in a vast wave of cultural destruction and mass killing that swept across the map of Europe at the time of the First World War. Using a wide range of examples and striking eye-witness accounts from England, France, Germany, and elsewhere, Kramer brings home the reality of the Great War, painting a picture of an entire continent plunging into a chilling new world of mass mobilization, total warfare, and the celebration of nationalist or ethnic violence–often directed expressly at the enemy’s civilian population. Kramer examines the psychological impact of trench warfare, addresses the question of German atrocities (were the Germans particularly barbaric, or was savage behavior common on all sides?), and offers a disturbing summation of the war’s impact on European culture. From the Western Front to the Balkans, from Italy to the war in the East, the First World War was the most apocalyptic the world had ever known. This book tells you how and why the civilized nations of Europe descended into unprecedented orgy of destruction.

Syracuse 415-413 BC: Destruction of the Athenian Imperial Fleet $16.93 In 415 BC Athens launched a large expeditionary force, its goal the rich, grain-producing island of Sicily. This was in response to a call for help in a minor war from an old ally but the true objectives were the powerful city of Syracuse, suspected of supporting Athens’ Peloponnesian enemies, and imperial expansion. The Athenians won an inconclusive victory over the Syracusans late in the year and renewed their attack in the spring of 414. After a period of energetic siege warfare and a series of large-scale battles on land and sea, the Syracusans gained the upper hand and the expedition ended in total disaster with grave consequences for the future of Athens. Nic Fields explores the background of this foolhardy venture in which Athens took on a nation that was militarily and financially strong and over 700 miles distant. Then, following the narrative of Thucydides, the chronicler of the Peloponnesian War, he describes and explains the long and violent campaign that pitted the two largest democracies of the Greek world against each other.

Destruction in the Performative $65.6 Cultural transformation tends to be described in one of two ways: either with reference to what comes about, is created or emerges in the process of change or with reference to what is destroyed or obscured in that process. Within a performative paradigm, that is, from a perspective which focuses on the manner in which social and cultural reality is constituted or brought about by human activity, theorists have, in recent years, tended to underline the productive aspects of transformation by emphasising the creative thrust of performative processes and events. In so doing, this perspective has tended to overlook the extent to which a certain destructive element may in fact be inherent to such performative processes. Drawing upon a range of historical and contemporary constellations of socio-cultural change and a variety of different types of events and activities, the articles in this volume describe different forms of destruction and their respective role in processes of transformation.Their shared aim is to explore the manner in which destructivity, such as the destabilisation and destruction of orders, subjects and bodies, can be grasped by concepts of performativity. In other words, to what extent may a certain destructive dynamic be inscribed within this very notion?

The internet. That was nothing.

The introduction of an aerial dimension changed military conflict forever—and restored a kind of knightly grace to the increasingly ugly spectacle of advanced warfare. While faceless constellations of men and machines slammed into each other on the sea and the ground, dogfighters faced off in the skies according to chivalric codes of their own. Marshaling an extraordinary array of historical materials, WINGS OF DESTRUCTION brings this fusion of old-fashioned heroism and ultra-modern technology dramatically to life. From bi-planes to bombers, from Germany to the Gulf, this 15-part saga will give you a co-pilot’s view of the greatest air aces of all time!

Wave of Destruction $5.99 Erich Krauss arrived in the Thai village of Nam Keam on a relief truck 12 days after an underwater earthquake of unimaginable magnitude erupted across the ocean floor and unleashed a tsunami that destroyed millions of lives and decimated the coastline of Southeast Asia. Wandering around the wreckage in a contamination suit, trying to deliver food and water, he found survivors desperate to tell him what their village had been like and how their lives had been changed forever. In Wave of Destruction, Krauss shares the pain and privation of four villagers who made it through alive only to bury their family and friends. Beginning with their fight for life as a 40-foot wave crashed down upon their community, and ending with their slow, confusing quest to rebuild after the last of the bodies had been buried, Krauss unveils the actions and thoughts of ordinary people who were forced to brave extraordinary circumstances. Much like John Hersey did in his acclaimed book Hiroshima, Krauss, a gifted writer and expert in Thai culture, allows the reader to experience one of the worst disasters the world has ever known – through the eyes of those who will never be able to forget.

The Destruction of the Books $3.95 THE ROVER RETURNS After his adventures on the mainland Wick, the Rover, returned to his duties at the Vault of All Known Knowledge and quickly worked his way up the hierarchy, continuing his quest for the preservation of books and the knowledge contained therein. And now that quest is threatened. AN APPRENTICE ACQUIRED It is many years later and lowly Wick is now Grandmagister Lamplighter of the Great Library. His trips to the mainland are fewer due to his advanced age, and lately he has enlisted an apprentice researcher by the name of Jugh to undertake those roving duties he used to relish. An encounter with a goblin ship on the high seas leads to Jugh’s discovery of a book in goblin hands, a most urgent matter that must be investigated. A SHADOW DESCENDS This single event, the acquisition of a single book, leads to startling revelations that forewarns of a great evil that exists that is every bit as powerful as the Vault of All Known Knowledge, and whose presence in the Great Library may indeed result in "The Destruction of the Books" And perhaps much worse.

The Destruction of Atlantis $11.39 ANCIENT CULTURES / NEW SCIENCE A valuable addition to the study of lost civilizations and ancient maritime exploration. Essential reading for all true Atlantologists.–(Andrew Collins author of _From the Ashes of Angels_ and _Gateway to Atlantis_) Definitely a cant-put-downer and must-read book for the enthusiast of ancient mysteries.–(Robert G. Bauval author of _The Orion Mystery_ and _Message of the Sphinx_) This book should be a standard-issue text in all high school and college history courses. It will stand the test of time.–(Robert R. Hieronimus Ph.D. host of 21st-Century Radio and author of _Americas Secret Destiny_) All human cultures from classical and biblical to native North and South American share the myth of an ancient deluge that often coincides with a rain of fire from the heavens. Now in _The Destruction of Atlantis_ author Frank Joseph links this worldwide cultural phenomenon to the story of the lost civilization of Atlantis which in a single day and night disappeared into the sea in a violent cataclysm. In the most comprehensive account of this legendary island Frank Joseph provides compelling evidence based on twenty years of research around the globe that Atlantis was at the root of all subsequent human civilizations. Refuting modern skepticism he provides evidence from archaeology geology astronomy and ancient lore to prove the existence of Atlantean civilization in the context of Near Eastern Bronze Age society at the end of the 13th century B.C. He combines hard scientific evidence with a stunning and imaginative re-creation of what it must have been like to walk the streets of Atlantis in its last days. The resulting portrait of a mighty empire corrupted by an overreaching lust for wealth and power offers an important lesson to our own materialistic civilization. A journalist and researcher FRANK JOSEPH is the editor in chief of _Ancient American _magazine and the author of _The Lost Treasure of King Juba_ and _Synchronicity and You_. He lives in Colfax Wisconsin.
