This summary provides the key information from the document in 3 sentences:
This week begins with a powerful new Moon bringing the chance for a fresh start. Mercury is now making up ground after turning retrograde last month, and personal stories can get back on track. The week looks good for progress as long as the lingering Mars/Saturn conjunction is acknowledged in important decisions.
This document provides a compilation of astrological and spiritual information and insights for the week of August 18, 2012, including:
1) A new Moon in Leo on August 19th marks a chance for a fresh start as Mercury moves direct, allowing lives to get back on track.
2) Although the Mars/Saturn conjunction has peaked, it remains a potent force for change that weekend, impacting big decisions.
3) The week ahead encourages focusing on practical projects, exploring something new, and potentially having a stroke of genius.
4) Insights are provided for each sign of the zodiac for August 18th.
The document discusses world views and the 5th dimension in the context of recent events in Oregon and Connecticut. It argues that individuals and societies are facing a choice in how they rise to meet higher energies of emotional intelligence, intuition, and personal freedom. Some are rising to meet the challenge of immense change while others are being submerged by it. The polarization is stretching society like a rubber band that will eventually break. The answer is to be more open, inclusive, and make others feel valued as human beings regardless of how they may change. We must change ourselves from within to change the world.
This week begins with a new Moon bringing the chance for a fresh start. Mercury is also moving forward again after recently turning retrograde. This weekend, the Mars/Saturn conjunction remains potent for change, though it has peaked. The alignment can still be felt impacting decisions.

Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).

AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

5 Public speaking tips from TED - Visualized summarySpeakerHub
From their humble beginnings in 1984, TED has grown into the world’s most powerful amplifier for speakers and thought-leaders to share their ideas. They have over 2,400 filmed talks (not including the 30,000+ TEDx videos) freely available online, and have hosted over 17,500 events around the world.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.
A brief introduction to DataScience with explaining of the concepts, algorithms, machine learning, supervised and unsupervised learning, clustering, statistics, data preprocessing, real-world applications etc.
It's part of a Data Science Corner Campaign where I will be discussing the fundamentals of DataScience, AIML, Statistics etc.

to Uranus, it’s the ideal day to make any changes in your life which you know need making –
especially but not only where you are working with someone else or in a partnership of a more
personal nature. Things are shifting where partnerships are concerned but that doesn’t have to
be a bad thing. Rather, the lightness can come back. The frivolity can be allowed to return. Get
your lighter Libra on! It’s the first New Moon in Libra since Saturn left.
Horoscopes | Week of October 15-21, 2012
ARIES (March 21-April 19): I encourage you not to backtrack in your talks, Aries, just because
you might’ve regained a glimpse of how ‘maybe things aren’t so bad’ and now find yourself
tempted to reengage an already-covered topic from a less-emotionally-heightened angle.
‘Maybe things aren’t so bad’ is far from declaring with certainty that things are largely good… but,
rather, more a pacifying backing-away-from, as if you could simply overlook some of what’s
already emerged, put on a fresh face, and return once again to the bargaining table. While I’m
all for second-chances and forgiving hearts, you’re facing a fairly unambiguous situation—at
least insofar as your own ‘selfish’ (ahem) interests are concerned—in which a hard, firm, and/or
not-altogether-pleasant decision may be your only option for actually generating movement
(instead of ‘more of the same’). Why dick around with superficial peace-making, then, if
doesn’t really productively address the core sticking-point? Wordlessly taking one giant
independence-declaring step toward your bold new future will say it all.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Worries about what you’ll end up getting out of the arrangement
ought to be tabled for the time being, Taurus… mainly because you’d do better to just relish
what you’ve already got right now, and to expressly communicate your gratitude to any
responsible parties. That’s not the only reason to temper your outward self-concern: On the
functional level, you are less likely to secure yourself a single extra granule of bounty by
choosing this moment to jockey for position. In fact, with that fierce 8th-house Mars trining
wild-card Uranus in your 12th, even posing the barest threat to someone else’s sense of
deservedness could unsuspectingly unleash their wrathful smackdown… maybe even ultimately
losing you some key ground. And all this during Venus’s transit through your 5th, which is
usually a period where we actually get to enjoy some fairly uncomplicated pleasures. So, gulp,
why mess with this shit now? You may indeed be due for a bigger piece of the pie, but this isn’t
your ideal week to reach for it. Please just go out and play instead.

2. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): It’s not that anything bad is likelier to happen, Gemini, if you permit
yourself to be as free and loose as your impulses might prefer… but more simply a case of you
potentially squandering useful astro-energy on a whole bunch of useless crap, just because you
weren’t able to adequately corral your attentions in order to actually direct them somewhere. For
the second time this month, I advise sticking close to home and/or to your workspace, to
consciously limit the number of possible distractions vying for your focus. Should you take a
leisurely walk around your neighborhood, for instance, you’re probably going to run into at least
one person you know… and before you have a chance to check your watch, your quick little
catch-up has absorbed another hour of your prime work-time. I might even go so far as to close
the Facebook chat-window and/or turn off your phone for a few hours at a time. If you feel you
must (ahem) ‘multi-task’ to keep a certain momentum, then try juggling a few real tasks at the
same time. Keeping up on the latest gossip or commenting on your friend’s latest vacation
snapshots are not, in fact, ‘tasks’.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): If and when faced with the choice between (1) agreeing to step
out on the town with a pal, answering their call or asking their opinion, and (2) reserving yourself
some moments of invisibility, even if that means declining invites or shutting off your
media-devices… well, Cancer, I don’t suggest bowing to the latter option, though you may
fantasize that it’s the correct choice for you. (When wouldn’t a Cancer prefer to hide inside their
shell?) The first option puts you in a much better position to actually savor an entertaining week.
Don’t allow your inner hermit, therefore, to convince you otherwise… especially if he’s playing to
your social anxieties, which, incidentally, are far worse before you arrive for the encounter than
they are once you’re present and involved. Plus, though quiet-retreat may sound like a
self-supportive activity (and, at the right time, it certainly is), I fear it could lull you into too cozy a
mood—and at this juncture, you ought to be actively pumping up your energy levels rather than
slowing them down. Too much seclusion will not only short-change you of some easy fun, but
might in fact inhibit your physical performance.
LEO (July 23-August 22): As you stumble into realizations, reach conclusions, and/or form
important decisions, Leo, play around with what’ll happen if you don’t hurriedly inform your best
friends, family members or number-one squeeze of the latest details. Instead, repeat to yourself
what you’ve come to, maybe even multiple times in a single day. Write it down in your secret
notebook, or post it in your special place. Let it sink in, discovering how it feels to strengthen
your resolve before you’ve welcomed any reaction—supportive, doubtful, or somewhere in
between—from any outside party at all. You deserve the experience of celebrating
self-determined clarity without the distracting kudos or critiques from folks who, no matter how
deeply they care about you, still cannot fully grasp the unique qualities that make you you (by
2/5
3. virtue, of course, of the simple fact that nobody knows what it’s like to be anyone else but
themselves). Comparing or contrasting your perspective with others you perceive to be ‘in a
similar situation’, for the time being, is just one more excuse to concentrate on something other
than encouraging your inner voice to confidently speak its own authority.
VIRGO (August 23-September 22): Just because you’re in the midst of a notable
outward-expansion period, Virgo, you need not concern yourself with fully and totally exploiting
all the available opportunities at every hour of the day. As thorough as you may be,
it’s impossible to take ample advantage of each and every possibility… and the very attempt to
do so will only stress you out, as well as rob you of the pleasurable qualities of trying new
things. It may actually be more advantageous for you to ease up on the pressure to take on all
the different roles and responsibilities you could successfully assume (if, that is, you weren’t
taking them all on at once). Venus remains in your sign through this week and next, suggesting
a short-lived joyride (of one kind or another) is probably worth making time for… both for its
obvious joyousness and as an energetic refresher so you don’t wear yourself out. Bonus points
if you include the company of pals who’ll refuse to let you obsess about what you’re not doing
while you’re instead out cavorting, and/or those who keep the conversation effortlessly flowing
with topics likelier to rouse giggles than serious reflection.
LIBRA (September 23-October 22): For the next couple weeks, please think immediate
short-term stability, Libra… and then consistently communicate yourself with that priority first and
foremost in your mind. Even if you know there are bigger fish to fry and/or bigger
stability-scrambling decisions to declare approaching somewhere down the pipeline, you
needn’t flash all those cards quite yet. At the tail end of next week, you’ll receive a visit from
your ruling-goddess Venus, who is always happy to return to your sign… and who shows her
appreciation by kissing your aura with an enchanting appeal that softly promotes your fulfillment
at every turn. It’s under her influence that I suggest you unveil any major initiatives, opinions
and/or game-changers, if only because they’re likelier to yield gentler upset toward you. Resist,
therefore, participating in whatever larger conversation(s) will logically lead to your having to go
there before you’re ready, so as not to lapse into deceit-by-omission if you’re put on the spot.
Hold the defining issues at bay, just temporarily.
SCORPIO (October 23-November 21): Precisely because you have some practical shit to get
done, Scorpio, this is no time to pander to any ‘he said, she said’ entanglement crap. Though
there may remain critical conversation to be had (a la last week’s horoscope), that is not the
same thing as permitting it to revolve around contentious claims of who did what first, who is
more or less to blame, or who will personally benefit most from which ideas being implemented.
3/5
4. (And just because you’re usually the master of coming out on top when such power struggles
are occurring, that doesn’t mean you ought to play this one to ‘win’.) You must simply refuse to
pass the hot potato or throw anybody under the bus… if for no other reason than it won’t get
the job done any faster (and, in fact, will slow it down.) Instead, be consistent about using the
first-person when discussing the matter at hand, very clearly identifying your opinions as merely
yours, neutralizing accusations by owning up, and asking questions of others in lieu of
presuming to know their thoughts. The real upper-hand will be yours as long as you’re squarely
focused on wrapping up the unfinished work… and not on anyone else’s shortcomings.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22-December 21): Operate as independently as possible this
week, Sagittarius, since other people’s involvement, while potentially pleasant enough, can
actually detract from the positive gains you might otherwise attain in your workplace (or some
other public zone-of-achievement). Hopefully, you have sufficient responsibilities to attend to
which don’t rely on collaborative efforts or anybody else’s immediate feedback… and which
don’t require a whole lot of back-and-forth communication of any kind. (Thanks to Mercury
cruising through your solar 12th, you have a temporarily shaky grip over how provocative or
peevish your words will come off.) As long as you’re able to claim relatively self-directed
agency over your process, the week’s Mars-Uranus trine (across the two most self-interested
houses, the 1st and 5th) promises innovations and breakthroughs in how you can most
effectively leave your creative mark—and earn yourself much-deserved credit for competent
self-management. Doing it your way is strongly favored for the moment, yes indeed, but it’s
better not to make a production of it… and perhaps attract others’ unwelcome and unhelpful
intrusions.
CAPRICORN (December 22-January 19): Do not force so-called ‘productivity’, Capricorn…
and especially don’t force it onto anybody else, as if to imply (or outright state) you don’t
approve of all the negotiating and/or strategizing still going on when ‘there’s work to be done’.
Who are you to say that this isn’t an integral part of the work, anyhow? Even if a few more
weeks go by without your feeling as if progress is being made (because, perhaps, you’re
achingly attached to a rigid concept of what ‘progress’ ought to look like), you won’t really
have sacrificed anything in the overarching process of producing your desired result. Except, of
course, your own cherished—but, frankly, arbitrary—timeline for when you think things should
be done. As I’ve said in a gazillion prior horoscopes, timing really is everything… only, we, as
fallible human goons, don’t always do ourselves the favor of aligning our rhythms with the wider
cosmic calendar of divine perfection (which is why following astrology can be so friggin’
helpful). Back off on the pressure to hit certain deadlines, and try participating in the collective
conversations you’ve been too stubbornly judging as ‘pointless’. Maybe you’ll end up catching
their point…
4/5
5. AQUARIUS (January 20-February 18): While I hardly expect you to impersonate somebody
who passively agrees with the mainstream group-mindset, Aquarius, that is not an invitation to
be wholly self-indulgently quirky, just because that’s what’ll feel good to you. You might vocally
take umbrage with what a certain strain of the team is up to, but you’d still better look out for
your most trusted colleagues’ interests as well as your own—and remain acutely conscious of
how excessively playful or rambunctious behavior could reflect poorly on them. There are ways
to ‘rebel’ (an Aquarian’s favorite pastime) while still preserving an umbrella of awareness that
the public-sphere impressions you create do matter. And then there are the uncurbed rebellions
which have a funny habit of spawning ripples of fallout fuck-ups nobody would’ve anticipated. If
you find yourself caught between manifesting one of these two rebellious possibilities, you’ll
more assuredly stay with the preferred former method by carrying out the bare-minimum
shit-stirring required to get the point across… minus any self-congratulatory dramatic flourishes.
PISCES (February 19-March 20): In a rewrite of last week’s edition, Pisces, let me point out
how a synergy between (1) interpersonal-smoother-outer Venus-in-your-7th and (2) an
especially thoughtful Mercury, master of information-processing, continues to make this an
excellent moment for earnest, reflective conversations with your most important partner(s). But
now, it’s not only an opportunity to illumine any key differences between you in a mutually
sympathetic context… though that remains a benefit. You can also rely on such
perspective-granting exchanges as a healthful antidote to too many stray contradictory
fragments racing back and forth through your mind. Lest you get caught in the excessive
internal noise, you’re liable both to (1) miss a chance for sincere connection, due to being partly
distracted by anxieties that aren’t necessarily as timely as you might think, and (2) overlook a
potentially calming understanding of the bigger picture, which your observant colleague
would’ve gladly pointed out to you if only you’d given them your undivided attention. Not only is
outwardly philosophizing about the state of your life a great backdrop for enjoying a relationship,
it might even save you some fruitless inner worry.
