Divided States of Amaterasu. My educated guess is Western US has already been divided between the following countries/nations.

Washington - Wa Shinto - Japan

Oregon - Origo - Hungary

California - Kali - India

Nevada - Italy

Idaho - Germany

12:25 AM Can anybody understand the Moon?

That is. Why sometimes is big and bright and sometimes is like cut in half or just a parenthesis.

I did not until recently. I mean, maybe 10-20 years ago. In the later part of my life.

They call them phases of the Moon. The Moon appears in the sky like a ball of stone illuminated by the Sun. Because the Moon rotates around Earth (the only true part of the geocentric system before Copernicus). The only planet that rotates around Earth. Rest of them including Earth rotate around Sun.

As seen in the video above. Earth rotates around self 365-6 times while it rotates around Sun once. Moon rotates around Earth every 29.5 days. Earth's rotation angle is tilted at 23 degree, hence the season (some rotating parts are illuminated more than others six months of the year)

Can see from the video above. When Moon is farthest to the Sun or aligned with Sun and Earth on the far side of it, it is fully illuminated. However, the plane of the Moon rotation is tilted some 5 degrees from the plane of Earth rotation around Sun.

Because of that, when Moon is aligned with Earth on the far side it cannot be eclipsed by (in the shadow of) Earth except in a few narrow periods called nodes. Same when Moon is aligned with Sun and Earth on the closest point to the Sun, it cannot create eclipses except in the nodes and not always or every year.

If the plane of Moon rotation was the same as the plane of Earth rotation around Sun, we would get eclipses every month. A Moon one and a Sun one. Though they come in a position pretty close when new or full. Within up to 5 degrees that is.

By dividing 365.4 to 29.5 we get 12.38 or the number of months. Of course the noun month in English comes from Moon. However, it is a bit more than that. How much more? 0.38 months or 11 days. So the calendar needed corrections, otherwise the months would not coincide with seasons, and after 30 years March would fall in fall time etc..

First calendars where of course Moon calendars. It was much easier to count new moons or full moons than days within a year. Why would earliest civilizations need a calendar. Simple. Because they needed to know when to sow.

In Northern Hemisphere sowing time was critical and the ever drifting lunar calendar would not work. So they learned to build structures like Stonehenge.

When the shadow of the center pillar reached a certain stone at dawn, they knew is was time to sow. I won't get into the details of it, it's quite a bit of astronomy and geometry. They didn't know that, it was a process of trial and error and of course they tried at lower scales first. Bored already? Watch a video or read a poem.

Just figured. It is no joke. 23% of the young women have their cycle synced with the Full Moon while being fertile at the middle of the cycle or @New Moon, or during the darkest of nights. Anybody can guess why? So they can go unseen and have sex with people other than their own tribe, for increasing gene pool.

Though they were no noises upstairs  tonight, i forgot why i started this post (entry whatever) so i will continue when i remember.

Nevermind, i remembered (and forgot again) but i'm too tired, bored and pissed and out of diet caffein free soda. I go to smoke a cigarette (second or third or better said first of the day (it's past midnight), i am addicted already).

2:05 Ok i haven't smoked yet by i decided how to finish this. First. I am not so much tired as my eyes hurt for having the ozone generator on for many hours the night before.

I will never forget the night of the 1977 earthquake. I was at Iași, after a week of being in bed with a cold. I went outside and met with one colleague and a teacher (class master) who came from home in the area where we were living to see how we were doing?

We walked on the streets like many others and i looked at the sky and saw a full moon among some fluffy clouds that today i learnt are associated with low atmospheric pressure ahead of a storm. According to Stellarium, Moon was close to Earth.

Three of the conditions met according to my theories. One more could have been heavy machinery cause in Romania at that time we did not have freeways and it was late in the evening anyways. A few trains heavily loaded braking simultaneously in the area above the epicenter? (at that time trains in Romania were going up to 120 kmh).

2:14 Research Gate is a serious site with articles written by real scientists from around the world. Here's a diagram with distance Earth Sun. I knew the distance varies due to gravity pull of the Moon when it rotates around Earth. Actually it varies a lot or by 2.5% on average. There is another variation of Earth-Sun distance which happens yearly, with a low at the beginning of the year and you can see the two combined in this diagram.

It is  the only one i could find on internet. However i wish the diagram would allow me to see more precisely the distance in a certain day of the year. It will be logical to have a correlation between the phases of the moon and this diagram.

Earth-Moon distance is changing because Moon also rotates around Earth on an elliptical trajectory, like Earth around Sun, with Earth in one of the two foci. While the axis of alignment Sun Earth Moon rotates 360 degrees during a whole year, the two axis of the Moons ecliptic do not, hence the one cycle difference.

Thus changing distance does not coincides with phases of the moon. There is a shifting phase difference.

Here is a list with the major earthquakes in 2014. You can look for correlations and it looks like most occurred when moon was closer, either near full or near new moon.

By looking at this diagram which is a 2D projection of the plane at an angle which is most familiar, one can easily understand why i mistakenly said earlier Earth is closest to Sun at equinoxes.

However, tides which are again a measure of the gravity pull of Sun and Moon combined, are indeed higher during this period. And northern hemisphere is indeed closest to the Sun. Though it keeps inclining towards it, after, due to the tilt, the distance increases due to ecliptic.

7:56 Barometric pressure history in Hunterdon County NJ (where the April 5 earthquake occurred). Tide levels in the same period. Higher tides indicate a more significant pull of Sun and Moon gravity with lowering of the pressure in Earth's mantle.

Friday 5 (earthquake day) saw a rise after a very rare low barometric pressure.

Tide levels in Atlantic City, NJ around April 5 earthquake.

Spring tides in Atlantic City, NJ. (Max display on the site period is 30 days).

April 7

1:35 AM I wish i figured this one out by myself, because i made lots of correlations of earthquakes with Moon orbit, distance, whatever.

But i least i can say why is happening. There are a number of factors  that combine and result in highest tides, tide being a measure of total gravitational pull of Sun and Moon combined.

Factors

Earth - Moon distance. It varies by about 10% with a period of about 100 days. But i did not realize until today there was such a cyclicity. During the current year, shortest distance is around equinoxes.

Sun Moon alignment. Moon orbit plane is different than ecliptic plane. Sun eclipses cannot occur during certain periods of the year when Moon is not aligned well with the Sun when in conjunction.

So when a Sun Moon alignment will occur around equinoxes with shortest Moon distance you will have the perfect storm.

But of course there have to be conditions for that to happen. Most shallow earthquakes happen because of explosive boiling of pressurized hot thermal water in vast closed underground pockets (may call them lakes if you prefer) triggered by gravity forces so the water has to be at the right pressure and temperature for that to happen.

It is in a way similar to when you heat water in the microwave at boiling point, it stops boiling when you pull it and boils again due to change of pressure when you put the cup on a table which creates a small shockwave in the water and initiates boiling.

The volume of crust above the water pocked is raised by the combined gravity action of Sun and Moon, decreasing the pressure in the pocket.

Fast changing atmospheric pressure. It can contribute to variation of pressure inside the deep pockets in the ground.

However, there could be extra man made factors. Like synchronized heavy machinery that make the ground oscillates at that seismic area resonance (each have a different one). Traffic going at the right speed during rush hour, etc..

According to Stellarium, during the devastating earthquake of March 4 1977 in Romania, Moon was at a distance of 371000 km, three days away from the minimum of 366000 on 7, full, thus aligned with the Sun though on the other side of the Earth, closest such alignment before equinox, pulling the Earth and elongating it from the other direction of the Sun.

At 85 km it was a deep earthquake,  which is usually done by an explosive phase changing with (changing the volume) in a pocket of magma. 

5:18 PM A few days ago i upgraded my catch can with an aluminum tube to prevent spitting oil in the out port and a lid made of inox (for spice containers) with an o ring around it (green, oil resistant), creating a new compartment in it, to catch the oil and keep it from splashing. I drilled 4x2 mm holes in the lid so the emulsion can get in there with car's movement and it cannot get back out, even if you overturn it when the car doesn't move.

Today i added the last thing and i think i'm done with it. An easy empty plug. I think it needs to be emptied every fill-up. I will call it Catch Can V 8.00 and hopefully the last.

This device improves the MPG, power by up to 10%, vibrations, steering. BTW anybody can tell me how many patents i got in here (including corrugated inox condenser done previously). We have a saying in Romania. "Să fie primit!" (May God appreciate it).

And yes, this is where the oil "evaporates" from you engine. Actually it does not. It goes through you PCV in the intake, contaminating the valves, spark plugs, spark plug threads, burning in the combustion chamber, catalytic, etc.. Catch cans can prevent all that.

April 4th

9:08 About 10 days ago i ordered a Winix filter from AliExpress. It is the first time i done so because it was discontinued on Amazon. Now it's back there however is 30% more expensive than on AliExpress.

But it never came. After it was out for delivery on 30, when i was home all day, they said i wasn't. I don't know if they required a signature for delivery. I did not find anything at the door or in the office. Then by following the FedEx tracking number 272494487815, they said it was delivered on... April 1st, within the only time frame i was out, for a walk. No more emails from them or AliExpress. Worst (failed) delivery i ever experienced.

FedEx site is abysmal. Cannot download proof of delivery without sender's code account number which i don't know. I think i clicked somewhere on a box next to where it said item missing or not delivered and nothing happened.

Whatever. Worst case. Will dispute the charge with the bank.

This morning i saw this news and remembered what else i saw on AliExpress. One of the items was this. Free delivery in June. It is so tempting i thought of buying one myself. It beats the hell out of living in an RV or mobile home.

Then i searched for American sites and there are some that sell similar stuff. 600 sqft, the size of our apartment. With the right type of insulation, which is a sandwich of Styrofoam and aluminum foil you can buy at Home Depot, way better than volcanic rockwool and s...t that BTW is really really bad for your health and solar panels on top which now are subventioned by states, it can rival with a real home but at a (tiny) fraction of the cost.

Off grid, eco, high tech, you can install it in a desert provided you are close enough to a place where you can buy water and a 4 or 5G tower for internet. Or in a place near the ocean.

You could use tanks for shower and toilet like people living in RVs and empty those every week or so or maybe even a smaller septic tank. You could probably install it on a concrete foundation but some are on pillars. Could collect rain water from the roof for laundry and dry... in the backyard.

In other words, a real home for under 10k, provided you can find a piece of land. 0.1 acres is 4300 sqft. In a country where there is so much unused land.

But it is non only the people living in RVs and cars could benefit from this. It could be like a safety net for those who live in terror of losing their job and not being able to pay their mortgages.

I was even thinking. The government could give free grants to everybody interested. Newlyweds, whatever. Half acre of land and 10k to buy one of these and end this terrible, degrading homeless crisis. 10 homes for the price of one shell they send to Ukraine.
