September 2010 Horoscopes

CAPRICORN:

A feeling of personal power and stronger, clearer ambitions are with you this month. You are bolder and your vision is more lucid, especially from the 13th forward. There can be new insights and developments in learning areas, studies, in your neighborhood or with siblings, or in activities surrounding communication. You may receive good news or you might read something that inspires you to change your learning focus, to write about a topic you hadn't considered before, or through channels that you have never tried, for example. You are more open to communicating about subjects or feelings that you have previously kept to yourself. Inspiration can be found now, and it's likely to come through your conversations or communications with others. From the 8th, romance is friendlier and more light-hearted. This trend continues until January 2011. Friends, group activities, and networking activities play a large role in your love life. In fact, the influence of friends and group connections is powerful throughout the year. You are expanding your horizons and friends are helping you to feel more connected and confident. The Full Moon on the 23rd illuminates a family matter.

AQUARIUS:

September brings intensity of feeling and a stronger desire to investigate life. Some of you could be especially into research of some sort, and from the 14th forward, you are pouring much energy into work projects and other professional activities. Your personal magnetism runs high, and you're likely to find much support and personal popularity in your career or community. From mid-month, going after what you want, whether it's a promotion or an idea you are pushing, is especially favored. Jupiter aligns with your ruler, Uranus, again this month, bringing a hopeful attitude, beneficial connections through networking efforts, and improved financial status. There may be a sudden change in financial position, even a windfall or significant gift, a sudden urge to spend or invest money, a new money-making idea or project that seems to come out of nowhere, new insights into money, money-making ability, or self-worth. Money might be seen now for its value as a tool used to achieve more freedom in your life. Problem solving comes far more easily to you by mid-September.

PISCES:

A partnership is in strong focus this month. Surprises in close relationships are likely from the 17th-22nd. Career matters are electric this month--expect the unexpected! Changes are in the works, and positive. Inspiration can come along suddenly, or seemingly so, from something you read, a conversation, a co-worker, or perhaps even a dream this month. The urge to break free from limiting conditions or, more likely, outworn attitudes, is intense now. You are looking to the future, not to the past, and the desire to leap forward into new and unexplored territory is powerful. Career goals, professional interests and changes, or social standing could be catalysts for this process. Romantic matters are intense, personal, and deep as you begin the month. From the 8th forward, your love life begins to take a turn that continues for the rest of 2010. You are more adventurous when it comes to love, and the desire to expand, explore, learn, and grow through your connections is strong. Some of you will find that you're attracted to people you've never considered before. The Full Moon on the 23rd can shed new light on a financial matter or project.

Driving a Car!

Buddies, here are some tips to drive your car during rain:

slow down! It takes longer to stop or adjust in wet weather.

Stay toward the middle lanes - water tends to pool in the outside lanes.

Maintain proper following distance (3 Second Rule). This needs to be increased in wet weather.

Drive in the tracks of a car ahead of you.

Don't follow large trucks or buses too closely. The spray created by their large tires reduces your vision. Take care when passing them as well; if you must pass, do so quickly and safely.

Be more alert when driving in wet or slippery conditions. Watch out for brake lights in front of you.

Avoid using your brakes; if possible, take your foot off the accelerator to slow down.
Turn your headlights on even in a light rain, or in gloomy, foggy or overcast conditions. Not only do they help you see the road, but they'll help other drivers see you. If your car has daytime running lights you still should put them on, so vehicles behind you can see you better.
Before it starts to rain, replace old or brittle wipers.

Avoid off-road driving: it's hard to judge the actual depth of puddles and you can easily become stuck.

Never drive beyond the limits of visibility. At night rainy roads become especially treacherous.

The glare of oncoming lights, amplified by the rain on your windscreen, can cause temporary loss of visibility while substantially increasing driver fatigue. In rainy conditions pedestrians, livestock, and wildlife are extremely hard to spot and even harder to avoid.

Never drive through moving water if you can't see the ground through it; your car could be
swept off the road.

When driving through a puddle of uncertain depth, go slow. If it's deeper than the bottom of your doors, turn around and find another route. Deep water can cause serious damage to a modern car's electrical system.

Avoid splashing pedestrians.

Be Safe!

Although both planets move out of your sign this month, they are moving rather close to one another, and this keeps partnering exciting throughout the month. Nevertheless, until the 22nd, you are in a yearly cycle of spiritual renewal, closing projects and paths in your life that no longer serve a good purpose. You take more down time than usual.

From the 8th forward, your love life is especially private or quiet. This trend continues until January 2011, as Venus will be spending an unusual amount of time in your privacy and soul sector. You're less outwardly affectionate and require some time to soul-search about your love life. The 23rd brings new light on a romantic or creative endeavor. Emotions run high. Creatively, this is a month in which you are really finding yourself and connecting to your hidden or dormant talents.

The Soccer World Cup

The Robot Soccer World Cup is divided into five divisions, starting with the Simulation league. This is for sophisticated computer games without the robot hardware, but with each team comprising eleven autonomous software programs called agents. The Small Robot league is five-aside on a 6.05 x 4.05m ‘field’, while the Middle Size Robot league plays teams of six on an 18 x 12m field. The Humanoid league caters for autonomous robots with a human-like body plan that e programmed with senses that duplicate those of real people. In this league, unlike the smaller ones above, the tasks of perception and world modeling are not simplified by programming. Then there’s the Standard Platform league, where all players have identical hardware and only the optimum computer programming can produce the winning advantage. These robots are fully autonomous on the field, having no external control. Despite the game format, Robot-cup 2010 is a serious business. Robotics teams from leading universities that include Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard University, Oxford University and Osaka University are showing what the latest robot football stars can do.

The Robot

A robot is an automatic device that performs functions normally ascribed to human or a machine in the form of a human. Robotics involves a scientific study of robots. Basically there are two types of robots - fixed and mobile. At present robots are present in almost every field of work. Robots have become more and more popular in industrial and other fields and work faster than human beings. Robots can operate in any situation, even ones too uncomfortable or dangerous for humans to work in. Today, robots are taking over most of the manipulative, hazardous and tedious jobs in factories, mines, atomic plants, space ships, deep-sea vessels, etc. from man.

In India, the interest in robots and robotics began during 1980s. Works on robotics began in advanced educational institutions and research centers such as the Indian Institutes of Technology, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, Bhabha Atomic Research Center, etc. Robots have been developed for welding, spray painting, radioactive fuel handling operations and so on. There are also some very small nano-metric-sized robots called nano-machines and some large ones like robonauts. All these are first generation robots and the second generation of robots, expected to arrive by 2015, would be truly versatile and intelligent as chimpanzees.
