Hi there! I'm Amy, the designer behind PaperFinch Design. I'm also a wife, a southern gal, and a lover of cheese. Mostly the dairy kind, but also the bad-pun kind. I live just north of Atlanta, Georgia on the Chattahoochee River. If any of y'all have ever heard the song, then you're well aware that down here it gets hotter than a hoochee coochee. And yes, I say y'all. A lot.
I also have two kitties, have an affinity for 80s sitcoms, and a lot (I mean, a LOT) of books.
PaperFinch design started a couple of years ago when I was sitting under a tree and an apple fell on my head, causing me to realize that I just wasn't doing what I wanted to do in life. Okay, the apple part isn't exactly true…but the sudden realization that I didn't want to work as a secretary/waitress/bartender for the rest of my life? That part's true. So I went back to school (art school, in fact) and learned all about graphic design. I already had two degrees - one in Theater and one in English… I guess you can add school to the list of things that I like to do.
I had been scrapbooking for years, but never thought I could be an (ahem) artist…simply because I can't draw very well! But I learned a couple of things at art school: One, people in art school are weird. True story. And also, that I can draw better than I thought! And that, with the magic of a computer, you don't really have to be able to draw perfectly, per se, as long as you know how to manipulate your horrid stick figure drawing into something beautiful and wonderful and fully realized on the computer! And so, ta da, I became a graphic designer!
The road was still a little bumpy, though, and I started out designing mainly vintage-inspired invitations. I still have some of those invites up in my shop (and they still sell!), but I discovered along the way that my true love lies in home décor. In art school, I always got in trouble for too much decoration. Translation, I liked to just make my projects 'pretty' and not 'informative'. Well, blah, blah, blah – now I get to just make 'pretty' all I want! My current favorite 'pretty' is probably my "Home is Wherever I'm With You" print. I just really love how it turned out…and I love that song! Have y'all heard that song? By Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes? It's fantastic. And also in commercials, so I'm sure you have actually heard it.
As for my workspace, it's not very exciting. Since 99.9% of my work is done on the computer, my workspace consists of a desk, a bunch of drawers holding my current inventory, a cat (or two), and, most likely, a day old empty coffee cup. And sticky notes everywhere.
But I don't spend ALL my time at the computer! No sir! I also like to play tennis (a new hobby of mine), read all those books I mentioned earlier, and dream about decorating my house. Which I don't ever actually do. ☺ I'm too busy doing laundry.
For all you new crafting entrepreneurs out there, I have a few little tidbits of advice. One, do what you love! That's the easy one. But after that comes two, three, and four, which are – work, work, work! You'd be amazed at how much work it takes to keep your Etsy shop up and running. You can't just list your fabulous creations and sit and wait for people to find you. In the past two years I learned all about Liking and Tweeting and Pinning and Following and Stumbling and you get the picture. (Full disclosure: I DID already know about Facebook because, duh.) But, as much as you'd be amazed at how much time it takes to get your shop moving, you'd also be amazed at how great it feels once you do!
All the places to find me:

Imaging procedure cost estimates include the cost of taking the image and the cost of interpreting it. If the imaging and interpretation are done by different providers, the total cost is attributed to the facility that has the highest payment (usually the facility providing the imaging) even if they did not provide both services. Sometimes a provider may offer a discount if more than one image is taken. This estimate includes the fees for breast tomosynthesis, if applicable.

Persuasive propaganda requires powerful imagery. UVA students worked with photographer Marc Erwin Babej to create their own propaganda-like images.
As part of the Transatlantic Partnership on Memory, Responsibility & Transformation, fellow and photographer Marc Erwin Babej worked with students of Manuela Achilles' course titled "Neighbors and Enemies in Modern Germany" to create persuasive images.
Marc came to photography via a background in history and journalism. He uses images to explore and question historical narratives. His works force viewers to ask uncomfortable questions: Who are the ones shaping historical narratives? Why are the perpetrators of historical atrocities often the ones who leave the most enduring mark on national identity and culture, while the victims' perspectives are erased? How can students of history use art to better understand the darker chapters of national memory and identity?
During his fellowship, Marc worked with UVA students to analyze these questions in two of his major photographic projects: Mischlinge and Unser Afrika.
Defining "Germaness"?
The project Mischlinge ("Mongrels") presents images in the style of Nazi propagandist Leni Riefenstahl.
Riefenstahl is well known for her technical innovation and the large-scale productions of propaganda films and imagery during the Nazi era. The most famous example is the Nazi propaganda film The Triumph of the Will, which documented the 1934 Nazi Party Congress in Nuremberg.
Marc uses this same propagandistic style to subvert Nazi claims of racial superiority. In his series, cast members are photographed next to Nazi-era architecture in the style of Riefenstahl.
For Marc, the personal significance of this work centers on a simple question: Who is German?
"Back then," it was the existential question. I grew up in a family history that abounds with examples. For my great-grand uncle, Siegfried Taub, Secretary-General of the German Social Democratic Party in the Czechoslovak Republic, the answer to this question was a one–way ticket into an exile from which he would never return. Even before the Nazi invasion of what later became the "Reich Protectorate Bohemia and Moravia," Nazi propaganda smeared him as "Jewish swine Taub."
For Siegfried's nephew, my grandfather Erwin, the answer to this question meant a death sentence. For my grandmother and my mother, it meant widowhood and childhood in Theresienstadt.
Marc's photographs ask the viewer this same question, "Who is German?", while using Riefenstahl's own imagery to subvert Nazi notions of "Germanness." Captions on each photo show the DNA results of individual cast members, exposing the absurdity of racial purity. As Marc explains, "the tests showed that all cast members of Mischlinge live up to their name: Not one comes from only one part of the world; almost no one matches the Nazi ideal of the "Nordic man;" no two have identical origins; many have roots from outside Europe."
Germany's Colonial History
Marc also showed students his upcoming work, Unser Afrika ("Our Africa"). The series sheds light on Germany's colonial past – a dark chapter of Germany history that is often neglected in favor of historical reckonings with the Holocaust. His images illustrate the colonists' notions of racial superiority, implicitly linking this narrative with the later Nazi ideology. The work premieres in June 2018 in Hamburg, Germany.
In describing the work, Marc writes that it is "a symbolic joining of arts, science and government in recognition of the responsibility of Germany's colonial past."
Creating Propaganda in the Digital Age
Students discussed the narrative mechanisms at work in Marc's pieces and in Nazi and colonial era propaganda. They implicitly critiqued these works to understand why these images are so persuasive. To fully understand what makes propaganda effective, and to better recognize such images in daily life, students were then tasked with creating their own marketing or propaganda images.
Their task was to create images that motivate an audience to act or react. In many cases, these images trigger an emotional response. Below is a selection of students' projects.
What Happened to Privacy?
The work aims to motivate Facebook users to acknowledge the privacy dangers they face. It is intended to be an advertisement featured on Facebook or other mediums of social media. Specifically, the artwork should intentionally scare and encourage Facebook users to review their privacy settings in order to ensure that Facebook cannot access their private data. It is especially targeting a teenage audience, because the group believes that teenagers are more likely to bypass important security measures to protect their data and privacy.
Which Side Are You On?
This Tweet aims to inspire Millennials to share the message and attend an event that promotes unity and inclusion. In the first picture, a mass of white men rally in front of the Rotunda. The black and white Confederate flag over the rally is inteaded to demonstrate that white supremacists are attempting to separate the races of society into binary categories of black and white, spreading exclusion and hate. This image is contrasted with that of the vigil, covered by an American flag in full color. The contrast of these images helps separates the two movements in viewers' minds. It puts white supremacists in the dark, as in the past, and the counter-protesters in the light, representing the future. The intent is to prove that the side of inclusion and equality is superior to the other.
Save the American Dream
This ad seeks to motivate young college students to fight back against racism and injustice in the United States and to redefine the American Dream for themselves. The "American Dream" suggests that immigrants can find a tolerant and diverse country here, one that provides an opportunity for citizens to do better than the generation before them. This dream, along with the freedoms that American citizens fought for, is the foundation of our United States. But is it possible anymore? The image challenges the concept that America is a land of diversity. It takes the notion of the United States as a patchwork quilt of diversity, and instead shows the ugly side of how resistance to diversity manifests in society: through hatred and violence. It imposes pictures depicting the horrors of today's "American Dream" onto a map of the United States, challenging what the map traditionally represents. By displaying jarring photos of violence and persecution, it seeks to overwhelm the viewer's senses and emotions to urge them to take action.
Save The American Dream (individualized variation)
This variation of the original ad also targets young Americans but with a slightly different message. The inclusion of a gray-scale flag emphasizes the complicated nature of the world and US society. Swapping the red and white stripes of the American flag with a black and white image complicates the simplicity of American values like freedom and liberty. That these black and white stripes merge into gray shows that we don't live in a black and white world where everything is a textbook straight answer. Instead, the US is made of up of human beings, and because of that, there is always a gray zone.

'Tis The Season-Day Six!
We've always had a tremendous amount of respect for Ralph Pucci and his ability to integrate such a diverse mix of talent and fortunately for all of us he has a new book entitled Ralph Pucci Show that highlights his remarkable enterprise (see images from the book below). We think this would make a terrific holiday gift for anyone out there who considers themselves a design enthusiast and we've made it even easier for you to get a copy of it by clicking here!
We had an opportunity to ask Ralph a few questions before last week's event and wanted to share with you his answers. Hope you enjoy them as much as we did!
DT: Is there anything in particular that inspires you?
RP: Going to museums, galleries ,off beat fashion boutiques...listening to music...reading a great biography.....
DT: What are you most excited about right now in the world of design?
RP: I'm most excited about the freedom to explore and merge all the arts in our presentations ..furniture, sculpture, photography , fashion, dance and music.....
DT: Any new products coming down the pipeline we need to know about?
RP: On January 28th we are having a group show DISCOVERY featuring new work by Jim Zivic and Robert Bristow as well as modern minimalist quilts by Denyse Schmidt, photography on concrete by two young artists MICHNER AND SPINDLER and new paintings by Paul Mathieu. RE- DISCOVERY will feature work by the legendary 93 year old designer Jens Risom.
DT: What 3 people would you love to take to dinner?
RP: I would've loved to have had or have dinner with Miles Davis, Cy Twombly and Keith Richards.
DT: If you could travel anywhere in the world where would you want to go or what would like to see?
RP: I would love to go to Easter Island off Peru to see the giant stone sculptures or go see Brancusi's Endless Column in Targu Jiu Romania

Wave Propagation in an Elastic Half-Space with Quadratic Nonlinearity
Kuechler, Sebastian
MetadataShow full item record
This study investigates wave propagation in an elastic half-space with quadratic nonlinearity due to a line load on the surface. The consideration of this problem is one of the well known Lamb problems. Even since Lamb's original solution, numerous investigators have obtained solutions to many different variants of the Lamb problem. However, most of the solutions existing in the current literature are limited to wave propagation in a linear elastic half-space. In this work, the Lamb problem in an elastic half-space with quadratic nonlinearity is considered. For this, the problem is first formulated as a hyperbolic system of conservation laws, which is then solved numerically using a semi-discrete central scheme. The numerical method is implemented using the package CentPack. The accuracy of the numerical method is first studied by comparing the numerical solution with the analytical solution for a half-space with linear response (the original Lamb's problem). The numerical results for the half-space with quadratic nonlinearity are than studied using signal-processing tools such as the fast Fourier transform (FFT) in order to analyze and interpret any nonlinear effects. This in particular gives the possibility to evaluate the excitation of higher order harmonics whose amplitude is used to infer material properties. To quantify and compare the nonlinearity of different materials, two parameters are introduced; these parameters are similar to the acoustical nonlinearity parameter for plane waves.

What is the difference between seeing something great,
Even so, I've continued to watch these shows, not out of a sense of obligation - but because I actually like them. Seeing new creative ideas manifest themselves into material form, watching the runway designs, critiquing the hair styling, salivating over the shoes - it's an experience, and an enjoyable one at that.
I'm inclined to say no, considering that oftentimes, I'm just as excited about an innovative pairing of old pieces as I am a spanking new purchase. Then again, I guess that's "new" in a sense too.

Around 4AM this morning at New York City's WIP club, Chris Brown and Drake got into an altercation, NYPD confirm. Brown was out to celebrate Teyana Taylor's signing to G.O.O.D. Music, and Drake was in town for Maybach Music's Self-Made 2 listening party at strip club Sin City. While there are no confirmed reports on exactly how the fight went down, Brown sustained an open gash to his chin, reportedly from a bottle thrown by Drake. Brown posted an image of the wound on Instagram (it's since been deleted).
The brawl may have started after Drake and Brown got into an argument about Brown's ex, Rihanna. A couple week ago, Drake, Brown and Meek Mill, who was with Drake at the club last night, exchanged unfriendly words on Twitter, also about Rihanna. After last night's mele, Mill tweeted, "It wasn't me.... (shaggy voice) lol." No arrests were made and neither Drake nor Brown have commented on the incident.

Follow-Up Statement to APWU Members from President Mark Dimondstein
Re: New Revelations on USPS Cyber Security Breach
November 20, 2014
New revelations about the security breach in the Postal Service's data systems are raising additional concerns about this very troubling incident. The APWU remains fully committed to protecting the rights of our members and demanding information from the USPS about what management knew and when they knew it.
Unfortunately, it appears the breach was worse than originally thought. Apparently, information regarding OWCP records that were shared with the Department of Labor exposed medical records, bank account and routing information for tens of thousands of employees and retirees. The Postal Service plans to issue follow-up letters to those impacted by the latest findings shortly.
Because the Postal Service has refused to bargain in good faith and continues to take unilateral action in response to the data breach, the APWU is pursuing the unfair labor practice we filed on Nov. 10 with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). The National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) and the National Rural Letter Carriers (NRLCA) have also filed charges.
The APWU is committed to protecting the rights of our members and will do whatever is necessary to make sure our members are protected and made whole for any damages suffered as a result of the security breach – now and in the future.
We are working with our sister unions to ensure that postal employees and retirees receive the information you need and that every effort is made to protect you.
I will continue to be personally involved and will keep you posted as more information is obtained.

Found a delicious way to utilize the standard 30 minutes left before the bus leaves Manila for Laoag. Coming from a family that started one of the leading names in carinderia-style eateries in Laoag, Lis is a great eating companion. She eats anything and everything. After depositing our maletas at Fariñas Trans, we jumped on a tricycle to traverse to the far end of UST. Yay, S.R Thai was on the same spot on P. Noval!
The little Thai restaurant was so trendy among UST students and foodistas in the 90s. Not sure if they still have the branch on Katipunan in Quezon City.
The prices of meals are amazingly friendly as ever. I ordered two servings of bagoong (fish paste) rice, tom yum soup and pad Thai to prepare us for the next 10 hours or so.
Making partially deconstructed meals is a wonderful idea. The diner can tame down the spiciness, or sweetness, so nothing is ever put to waste. The bagoong rice looked like it had more hibi (dried shrimps) and mangoes than before. I can't describe to you how tired and hungry Lis and I were that night. Everything was so yummy.

Yes, there are certified things you can do, which will virtually guarantee that potential buyers will run screaming from your property! Here are my 3 most popular choices from the last few weeks of house shopping with clients:
1. Leave cigarette butts in the toilet. That brown-yellow color matches so well with the tile!
2. Spray for bugs and then don't check back. Roaches are bound to crawl out from the woodwork and die in the bathroom toilets, bathtubs and floors. I've even seen one hanging out the vent. Ewwwwww!
3. Let your tenants stay in the house to greet the buyers while they're seeing the property. A couple weeks ago we were greeted by a tenant with the flu, who told us she was ill but not to worry about it as she would stay out of our way. I assume since she was ill, she didn't have time to clean her house in the last few years, so there was molding food all over the dishes in the kitchen, clothes all over the floor, plus who knows what kind of virus we were breathing just by being in there! I had to exit the house just because of the smell!
What stories do you have?

10 Minute Moments-God's Story, by Kurt Johnston
10 Minute Moments-God's Story shows teens how they can live a life for God's glory.
God's Story is getting students to carve out time for God can be tough. Between packed schedules and the daunting weigh of the average Bible, students need a simple, organized way to deepen their relationship with God on a daily basis.
Each edition works like a daily journal with 31 relevant devotionals. Each devotional only take about 10 minutes to complete. Students will read a Bible passage, get some questions to chew on. Some suggestions to help them pray, and then space to reflect. It's easy to read and easy to stick with.
This edition is focused on God's story—who He is, what He has done for us, and how we can live a life that brings Him glory. It's got great lessons for new Christians as well as students who have "grown up in the church".

Even with modern-day tools and technologies, adapting the story of Noah's ark for the screen proved a task of biblical proportions.
Never mind the physical labor required to construct a giant ship; how do you even know what a boat supposedly built at the dawn of man looks like? And how do you get two of every animal on the planet to march aboard without an epic baboon versus honey badger fight breaking out?
Darren Aronofsky has been interested in the biblical tale since he was 13, when the budding filmmaker penned a Noah-themed poem for a writing contest; it won an award and earned Aronofsky the chance to read it before the United Nations.
On Friday, the director of "Black Swan" unleashes his "Noah," a $160 million epic starring Russell Crowe, Emma Watson and Anthony Hopkins. The film is meant to be a more humanistic, earthy take.
"One of the things that Darren wanted to do was anchor it in reality, give it a grittiness," says the movie's visual effects supervisor, Ben Snow. "That's only achieved by going out there and filming on location."
Instead of the cradle of civilization, the production headed for the cradle of gridlock: Long Island. An ark was built at Planting Fields Arboretum State Historic Park in Oyster Bay.
Figuring out what the ship was supposed to look like wasn't easy, because the biblical story doesn't give much information beyond the boat's dimensions: 30 cubits high by 50 cubits wide by 300 cubits long, though a cubit is an inexact measurement that has varied over the centuries (it's about 18 inches).
As for the shape, most depictions tend to be fairly traditional. Aronofsky wanted something cruder.
"One of the things we discussed early on is that the ark isn't a cruise ship," Snow says. "It's a life raft."
The design ended up as a giant box, almost like a "large coffin," Snow says. The craft didn't need a sail or keel, because when the world is covered by water, an ark doesn't need to navigate. It simply needs to float.
The Bible says the ark was made of "gopher" wood — the meaning of which seems lost to history.
So the filmmakers decided the craft would look as though it had been hastily constructed out of trees from the nearby forest. The wood would be snapped, not sawed, and lashed together with straps.
It took a crew five months to build the Planting Fields set, which consisted of the first third, or 170 feet, of the ark. (The rest of the ship was completed using digital effects.)
The CGI menagerie was a mix of actual animals, extinct beasts and creatures that never existed.
"Darren wanted to avoid clichés. No elephants or giraffes or things that you get in children's play sets," Snow says. "He sent us a reference book that had [drawings of] animals from Victorian times, when they'd heard about platypuses and dodos but hadn't seen them, so they were imagining what they'd look like."
Studio Paramount is clearly hoping for a faithful-friendly hit on the level of 2004's "The Passion of the Christ," but much of the pre-release buzz has been negative. Aronofsky and the studio reportedly warred over the final version, with Paramount testing several cuts of "Noah" in an attempt to appease Christian groups unhappy with the liberties the film takes.
The version hitting theaters is reportedly Aronofsky's cut. The director recently called it the "least biblical film ever made." Guess he hasn't seen "The Human Centipede."
The Ark, broken down
The Furnace
The Biblical account states the ark only had a single window, so the filmmakers placed a huge furnace inside the boat for light.
Genesis gives the dimensions of the ark as 30 cubits (52 feet) high by 50 cubits (87 feet) wide by 300 cubits (520 feet) long.
The Pit
Filmmakers consulted ballast engineers to determine how much weight a real ark would need to carry. The final design contains a pit filled with volcanic rock for stability.
Three Decks
The ship was divided into three decks: mammals below, reptiles and insects in the middle, and birds — as well as Noah and his family — up top.

Viewpoint / Point of View (POV) may be the most confusing technique to understand when writing fiction. Viewpoint is the identity and emotional focus of the person who relates the events of a story, i.e. the narrator. It is an important part of the relationship between writer and reader. It is about whose "eyes" we use to witness the action of the story. Point of View, on the other hand, is the way the narrator relates the story, i.e., voice (first person, third person) and tense (present, past). Often confused, these two techniques are separate, but joined at the hip. Enjoy this engaging discussion on how they relate to one other, and how they ultimately carry the story.

Saturday Morning RPG is a new indie game series that was largely funded through a Kickstarter project last year. The result is a hilariously tongue-in-cheek game series that combines the best elements of 8-bit gaming, turn-based combat and a wistful look-back at just how great it was to be a kid.
Much like previously reviewed game The Bard's Tale poked fun at traditional RPGs, Saturday Morning RPG pokes fun at the cartoons, films and commercials we grew up with as kids: G.I. Joe, Power Rangers, Care Bears, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Super Mario Bros. Super Show, etc. None of the references seem disrespectful or crude, though, which shows how the makers must love, admire or at least respect those classic programs.
The main character, Martin "Marty" Hall, is an average '80s teen, complete with dreams of adventure, social awkwardness and moments of adorable teenage angst, a la the films of John Hughes. The first episode centers around Marty trying to prevent a wedding between the love of his life, Samantha, and the evil Commander Hood, who seems to be a combination of Cobra Commander, The Shredder and Dr. Claw from Inspector Gadget, among many other comedic cartoon villains.
The gameplay in the Saturday Morning RPG series consists of either walking around—while bumping into various characters—or engaging in combat, which is easily the most impressive part of the game. The combat is turn based, allowing Marty a variety of combat moves, strategies and weapons to fight with.
However, these are no ordinary weapons. From Marty's arsenal of magic, otherwise known as a Trapper Keeper, he can call on powers such as the paralyzing Michael Jackson glove, a pack of zebra-summoning Juicy Fruit gum or a Transformers-style action figure that turns Marty into a semi-truck.
The Trapper Keeper also comes with different stickers that the player has to scratch in order to access certain benefits during a battle, including increased health or poisoning an enemy. There's five sticker slots available, but I was never able to scratch them all in time.
Saturday Morning RPG is unique in that it's actually an episodic series of games that's designed to work in "seasons," much like a traditional Saturday morning cartoon. The episodic style of gameplay is reminiscent of some series produced by Telltale Games, including Sam & Max, Back To The Future and Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People.
What's great about the episodic style is that the player's stats, weapons and in-game decisions carry over into every succeeding episode. This means the player has a chance to build up a really strong character through multiple episodes. However, it also means enemies get progressively harder through each episode, which means players have to constantly stay on their toes.
The only downside is that, as of this point, the episodes are pretty short, lasting less than a couple hours each. As of now, Saturday Morning RPG has released two episodes for its first season, and the third one is said to be in development. The first episode is free while the second costs $1.99, which didn't seem to be proportionate to the amount of gameplay, cost-wise.
In my opinion, it'd be better to have each episode priced at $0.99, since it would encourage more downloads. If each episode was $1.99 I wouldn't be able to purchase every single one, since that'd cost me at least $15 by the end of an eight-episode season. That's more than I pay for several games on my computer.
Since the first episode is free, I highly recommend checking it out. If you like it, Episode 2 is also a must-play. The series promises to be a wonderful journey into the adventures of a character who, in the end, represents the child in all of us. Here's hoping there's a Pink Ranger in Episode 3, or at least a Power Glove. Game on.

Weekly Forecast ~ Week of June 25th ~ Mars Station Retrograde and Full Moon in Capricorn
The Mars station (which happens on Tuesday) is a big deal. Mars is a powerful planet to begin with but when he turns retrograde we get an extra boost of Mars energy. This is great if you are training for a marathon but not so great if he are fed up and at the end of your metaphorical rope. If you are dealing with anger, frustration, or arguments this week I recommend finding a way to channel that Mars energy into something productive. Exercise, martial arts, even cooking (application of heat) can be great ways to utilize an overabundance of Mars energy. The full moon (on Wednesday) only adds to the mix with some intensity of its own!
Monday June 25th ~
What's going on today:
Moon in Sagittarius
Venus square Jupiter
What it means:
When we have a square between Venus and Jupiter it indicates an overindulgence. It might be too much food, drink, drugs, television, shopping, computer games … anything that you tend to overdo. The reason we overdo it is because Jupiter blows things out of proportion at times and Venus really is the things we love to do. So if you have a sweet tooth watch out! Or stock up … really I am just warning you about the energy … not judging you for how you handle it! On the positive side this can be a great time to do something loving for your significant other. A grand gesture, so to speak. Just be aware that the Mars station is tomorrow so people might be a little more temperamental than usual so if you do make grand gesture do it with a generous heart and without expectation of the reaction you might receive.
Questions to ask yourself:
Where do I tend to overdo it in my life? Is this tendency healthy or is it distracting me from where my focus truly should be right now? How can I make a grand gesture of love in myself, whether toward myself or toward another?
Tuesday June 26th ~ Mars Retrograde
What's going on today:
Moon in Sagittarius void-of-course at 6:54 AM MDT
Mars Station Retrograde
What it means:
Mars stations retrograde today and will remain in retrograde motion for the next two month. Aquarius is a progressive sign and with Mars reversing course we might feel like our own progress has stopped. And this might make us feel frustrated or angry. Mars can engage those emotions but it can also be our willpower and drive to succeed. So if you are coming up against a wall in your life figure out a way to get over it or go around, instead of beating your head against it. Sometimes going backwards allows us to find a new path forward.
Questions to ask yourself:
Where have I been putting my energy and is this working for me? How can I be more active in my daily life? How can I channel my emotions in a manner that is helpful and relevant instead of of overly aggressive?
Wednesday June 27th ~ Full Moon in Capricorn
What's going on today:
Moon enters Capricorn at 9:52 AM MDT
Sun opposite Saturn
Full Moon in Capricorn at 6d28m
What it means:
The moon moon in Capricorn is tense because Capricorn is not an emotional sign but the moon is an emotional luminary. So here we have the spot light bright on our emotional body but we are not particularly graceful in handling those emotions. To make matters more difficult the moon is conjunct the planet Saturn (and the sun is opposite Saturn) which adds more tension and more anxiety to the mix. Imagine that a disapproving mentor is watching over you as you struggle to verbalize your difficult feelings on an intensely personal topic. It's a tough full moon but remember that if you do the hard work you will get the rewards you deserve. That is the basic lesson of the planet Saturn and Saturn is the ruler of the sign of Capricorn so we have the theme here that hard work is required but it pays off.
You can take a look back to 6 months ago when we had a new moon in Capricorn (January 16, 2018) and see if there were things in your life that you started working on at that point which are ready to now come to fruition. If you feel that you are spinning your wheels in your quest toward this goal I want to remind you that everyone who has succeeded with a difficult task once felt like you feel now. Keep at it.
The Sabian Symbol for the degree of the full moon is "A Veiled Prophet Speaks, Seized By The Power Of A God". When we feel called to our purpose, when we feel aligned with a higher power, we don't always understand exactly what is happening or why. But what we can do is trust our intuition and move in the direction of the divine.
Questions to ask yourself:
What are you trying to build in your life right now? How can you buckle down and keep at it with renewed determination? What is your intuition saying right now? Are you acting in a way that is spiritual sound?
Thursday June 28th ~
What's going on today:
Moon in Capricorn
Mercury enters Leo
What it means:
Leo is a mush more sensitive sign than most people realize, and when Mercury comes to visit our thoughts often become taken up with where we are sensitive. But Leo is also a warm and generous sign, as well, so if you do find your thoughts being full of sensitivity go ahead and give yourself a hug, too. If you aren't quite following me let me give you an example. Let's pretend that you are sensitive about your appearance. Now Mercury moves into Leo and suddenly you feel like you can't stop worrying about how you look. But if a friend came to you and confided in you that they were worried about their appearance and were having a hard time you would (ideally) offer them support, compassion, kindness and warmth. Do the same thing for yourself here. Mercury in Leo can be a great time to work on developing self-confidence if you focus on the positive instead of what might be wrong!
Questions to ask yourself:
How can I be kinder to myself in my thoughts and words? How can I be supportive and develop more self-confidence, even when I might not feel confident to start?
Friday June 29th ~
What's going on today:
Moon in Capricorn void-of-course at 2:57 AM MDT
Moon enters Aquarius at 10:37 PM MDT
It's an all day long void-of-course moon. That means you might feel less motivated than usual. On days like today it's best to finish up old projects and stick to routine tasks. Finish the laundry. Clean out the inbox. Sort the recycling. Wash the windows.
Saturday June 30th ~
What's going on today:
Moon Aquarius
Mercury square Uranus
What it means:
I have said many times that I like to use aspects involving Mercury to practice right thinking. The thoughts we think and the words we say have significant impact and with each Mercury aspect we have the opportunity to refine our thought and speech patterns. With an aspect to Uranus we might feel rebellious or like we just want to break free and I invite you to think about how you might break free from thought patterns that are holding you back right now.
Questions to ask yourself:
What thought patterns have been holding me back from more personal development? How can I express myself more freely?
Sunday July 1st ~
What's going on today:
Moon in Aquarius void-of-course at 4:56 PM MDT
I always feel that the slogan for moon in Aquarius should be "Be Weird." Embrace what makes you unique and share it with the other people in your life. If you feel like marching to a different beat today don't be shy about it!
The Mars Station and the Full Moon in Capricorn give a powerful intensity to this week. If we are clear on our goals and act from a loving heart space we are going to be just fine.

This exhibition is a project of the National Foundation for Australian Women and the Australian Science and Technology Heritage Centre of the University of Melbourne.
Work on this project was generously funded by a 2002-2003 capacity building grant under the Women's Development Programme administered by the Commonwealth Office of the Status of Women.
Where are the Women in Australian Science was launched during National Science Week 2003.
project launch
about the exhibition logo
The aim of this exhibition is to get you using Bright Sparcs, an online register of people involved in the development of science, technology and medicine in Australia, including references to their archival materials and bibliographic resources. In particular, we are keen to have you look at the women who are registered in Bright Sparcs.
Women have always played a significant role in the history of Australian science, technology and medicine but this tends to be forgotten. Women seem to disappear out the historical record. This project, which is ongoing, addresses this issue by providing a specific gateway to the women in Bright Sparcs and proactively increasing the numbers of women registered.
As was stated in the 1995 report from the Commonwealth Office of the Chief Scientist, Women in Science, Engineering and Technology:
'Women are 51% of the nation's population. Using their talents to the full at all levels of scientific and technological education, training and employment is an economic necessity, and an investment in Australia's future national development. The [Women in Science , Engineering and Technology] Advisory Group believes that continued under-representation and under-participation of women in SET [Science, Education and Technology]-based education, training and employment is not only a cause for social concern on equity grounds, it is also likely to inhibit Australia's capacity to develop internationally competitive research and industries. There needs to be greater recognition of the value of different perspectives, priorities and operating styles that women can bring to SET.' [1]
In 1985, when the collection of data for Bright Sparcs commenced, the focus was on recording information about existing archival collections held in Australia that related to science, technology and medicine. As time passed and Bright Sparcs matured as a biographical register, the focus expanded to cover people involved in the historical discourse more generally while still limiting the scope to science, technology and medicine. The result was that by the mid 1990s women only represented just over 7% of people registered in Bright Sparcs.
Bright Sparcs, just by reflecting the historic process, was perpetuating the mis-representation of women in the history of Australian science, technology and medicine. Proactive steps needed to be taken to address this issue.
The primary goal of this project was to double the number of women in Bright Sparcs and build a gateway or web exhibition to enable users to access information about the women in Bright Sparcs more easily.
In order to maximise the impact it was decided to add women in the era where men were least well represented, that is the period from the 1970s to the present (2003). A variety of sources were used to identify who played prominent roles in this period, in particular the recent volumes of Who's Who in Australia. [2]
Interestingly, in identifying female candidates for inclusion we were made aware of fathers, grandfathers and other male relations or colleagues who were an important part of their story and who should also be included in Bright Sparcs. On many days we felt like we were taking one step forward and two steps back.
At the end date for data collection and entry into the database we had achieved the goal of doubling the number of women. This brought the percentage of women in Bright Sparcs to close to 15%.
This is still far short of the percentages that are believed to more truly represent the participation of women in Australian science, technology and medicine. Naturally different disciplines and different eras have seen widely varying numbers of women involved. However, it is felt that the perceptions of under-representation and under-participation will persist until we have the percentage of women in Bright Sparcs reaching 30 to 40%.
This project would not have been possible without the support and facilitation of the National Foundation for Australian Women. We are particularly grateful to the Commonwealth Office for the Status of Women for the inaugural funding that enabled this ongoing project to get started. Special thanks go to the project staff: Alan van den Bosch, Joanne Evans, Anne Heywood, Helen Morgan, and Ailie Smith for their hard work, ideas and commitment to the project. However, the project would not have been possible without the dedication of the National Foundation for Australian Women, in particular: Patricia ni Ivor and Ruth Medd.

Should Charity Always Begins at Home? --- Let us Help Haiti Today!
Should Charities Always Begins at Home? --- Let us Help Haiti Today!
With the current debate about whether countries should helped their constituents first before helping other people outside their country, we should stop arguing about it and gather our acts together as the current crisis in Haiti deserve the help of humankind.
I ask this question because for those of us who live in the most affluent of societies, we don't necessarily think of the things we don't miss as we almost have affluence in life. The type of hunger and lack of housing etc, experienced by people in the most rich countries are precisely different with that in the developing countries. Coming from a developing country myself, and one who traveled around the world, I can see the images and the differentiation of the kinds of sentiments we have here in the US and other parts of the world. Believe me, we are far luckier by miles. In the more developed countries, the government is readily available to help the people, or sometimes it is the peoples choice to live the way they like to live. Opportunities are abound here for us. I say this because even though the unemployment rate is high, still there are opportunities and the lifestyle we are used to here is still way above those who are living in developing countries.

The kind and images of poverty in the developing countries impact on every soul and if we can only go to the slums in different countries in the world we are more appreciative of what we have here.
I know we have lots of problems in the US for example, but it doesn't mean that we cant help the people anymore outside the US. Some would say that there are people who are starving specially children in this country too, why not help them first instead of helping others from other nations? Or there are a lots of sentiments about what the US government is doing for the welfare of the people, but then this problem of current economic conditions we are in is a deep rooted problem in which we inherited it from maybe a century ago, and there is no debate that we are experiencing hard times, but then the devastating disaster that happened in Haiti is catastrophic in nature and they need our help just to survive and have a life literally.
Yes, charity should always begins at home, but I honestly think that in this times of tragedy like the Haiti tragedy, we should try to look beyond and help the Haitian people. It is a humanitarian act and should not be questioned. Although our sentiments are valid about the predicaments of this country -- the US, we should help in the most we can, disregarding our other sentiments whether other countries also helped us during the times of "Hurricane Katrina".
These are two different things, and we cant say at the moment that charity should begin at home first. Just look at the extent of the dead people and the disaster itself, we should just try to help them without any questions whether our government is really meeting the needs of the American people, there is more time for that problem later on to think about. They need our help now.
Yes charity should begin at home, but not during this time, piles and piles of bodies are piled everywhere and they need food and water which is very basic for survival so that they can at least live for the moment. And that is taking aside the pain and the anguish of losing loved ones.
We can share whatever we can do to help at this time when our help is really needed and stop being a brat nation. We should become a good role model for our children too.

its awesome..
itakins from Irl on January 27, 2010:
great hub.Interestingly,some philosophers would argue that the idea of 'charity begins at home ' in a fallacy,purely because giving 'at home ' is a duty ,therefore not necessarily being charitable.I have a duty to care for my family-the govt have a duty to care for the people.It is only charity when it extends beyond these parameters,as in ,foreign aid.Just a thought!

Imam Tawhidi does not support Sharia Law, believes that the law of the land is superior to law of religion, and that violent Sharia Law must not be applied. The reason for this is: People must have the full right and complete authority to form their own laws and choose their own leaders.
Imam Tawhidi believes that all Islamic Governments and Caliphates are illegitimate. The role of religion is to 'guide' and not 'govern', therefore all religious scriptures cannot be used as government constitutions.
Imam Tawhidi also believes that Prophet Mohammad's government was a myth which did not exist. His forthcoming book sheds light on this matter.
Imam Tawhidi is known for his cooperation with various government departments within and outside of Australia, promoting peace, tolerance, equality and respect amongst numerous societies.
Imam Tawhidi enjoys healthy relationships with government officials and protective services. He believes that the constitution and the constitution alone should be followed, in order to achieve unity and peace.
Imam Tawhidi considers all those listed in the Australian list of terrorist organizations as terrorists. The same applies to the lists of terrorist organisations issued by the governments of the U.S, U.K, U.A.E and all of their allies. Imam Tawhidi also encourages Muslim men and women to join the police force and to stand and speak up against acts of violence and terrorism.
Religion should never be mixed with politics, and a government must never govern in the name of a religion. Governments should function based upon an agreed upon constitution and not upon the religion of the ruler.
Imam Tawhidi is Australia's leading critic of ISIS and Islamic Extremism, denouncing it as a dangerous fundamentalist and extremist body. His social networks give voice against ISIS and all forms of extremism in the name of Islam.
Imam Tawhidi leads annual processions against ISIS throughout Australia, and he calls onto all Muslim Imams to speak out against terrorist organizations; while publicly condemning Imams who remain silent.
"Stay away from both the Far-Left and the Far-Right. Keep a balance in all areas of life. Disagreements are necessary and dialogue is healthy. Maintain the peace." – Imam Tawhidi
Imam Tawhidi believes that apostates and those who leave Islam are not to be harmed in any way. They must not be forced into believing what they do not wish to believe.
On gay marriage, Imam Tawhidi believes in following the law of the land.
On homosexuals: Imam Tawhidi does not support hating, harming or killing homosexuals; and believes that their human rights must be protected.
Imam Tawhidi supports a strong and serious immigration policy. He has repeatedly called for the strict vetting of refugees after two Muslim refugees conducted terrorist attacks and sieges which killed innocent Australians.
Imam Tawhidi supports the deportation of Islamic Extremists, Islamists, and all those charged with terror offences. Likewise, he supports the revoking citizenships from terrorists who depart the country to join Jihad in the Middle East.
Imam Tawhidi believes in professional dialogue with people from different beliefs, religious and backgrounds. As a man of peace, he is not concerned with Left-Wing or Right-Wing politics when preaching his message of peace. Since 2016, Imam Tawhidi has met with different groups on both the Left and the Right to discuss ways of achieving peace and mutual understanding.
Imam Tawhidi does not discriminate between any religious groups and respects, visits and loves all equally. He regularly visits Jewish, Christian, Sikh, Hindu and Buddhist religious communities amongst others.
Imam Tawhidi:
- believes that Palestine is Jewish land. His Huffington Post article 'Why I Believe Palestine is Jewish land' can be found here.
- acknowledges The Holocaust and the historical and current suffering of the Jewish people,
- rejects all forms of Anti-Semitism,
- has adopted the 'INTERNATIONAL DEFINITION OF ANTISEMITISM' as the standard definition of 'Anti-Semitism'.
Up until 2013, Imam Tawhidi was educated by [and under the supervision of] Grand Ayatollahs whom oppose the Iranian Regime and Hizbullah. Imam Tawhidi has no current affiliation with any Grand Ayatollah, nor does he represent any Ayatollah for that matter. He is a completely independent individual who does not report to any superior cleric and belongs to no hierarchy or governing Islamic body. This matter has been presented in detail to concerned government departments and intelligence agencies.
As for the future and dialogue purposes, Imam Tawhidi welcomes the opportunity to meet Grand Ayatollahs who share some of his views and believe in the need of Islamic reformation.
Imam Tawhidi does not recognise the authority of any Grand Mufti. He believes that such a position has no place in a democratic society. However, since such a position is likely to exist forever, Imam Tawhidi has called for a change within the Australian National Imams Council in the past, proposing that they appoint a female Mufti. More information can be found here.
Women's rights are human rights. Gender equality and ensuring universal rights are essential ingredients for sustainable development. Now more than ever, we need to recognize the centrality of gender equality. Imam Tawhidi works towards ending gender inequality and views this mission as the grand objective of the 21st century. Both men and women should receive equal treatment and not be discriminated against based on their gender.
Imam Tawhidi believes that the matter of abortion is a conversation for women to have, not men. In the past, Imam Tawhidi has also expressed support for women undergoing abortion based on medical advice, in the state of an emergency or other difficult situations.
Imam Tawhidi rejects all teachings which promote child-marriage and female genital mutilation. He condemns all Imams, Islamic Authorities and Jurists who promote and practice such crimes against women, regardless of their denomination and position within Islam.
Since 2017, Imam Tawhidi has worked alongside tens of victims of child-marriage and FGM; and has assisted them in achieving a divorce and/or regaining their rights from oppressive families and religious centres.
Imam Tawhidi separates between 'Halal Food' and 'Halal Certification'. He has denounced 'Halal Certification' as a business in the name of religion and an insult to Non-Muslims. Imam Tawhidi believes that Muslims should have an 'App' or a website that lists all of the foods they can and cannot consume, instead of charging the majority of the nation money for Halal Certificationto be applied on products in public supermarkets.
In the news:
Imam Tawhidi rejects the use of Taqiyyah and the concealing of one's main beliefs for personal safety, and believes that in open societies where police protect the citizens, moderate Muslims should express their views and openly criticise the extremist elements within their communities.
Imam Tawhidi was educated in a Private Muslim School in Australia and has worked closely with government officials on matters concerning radicalisation and indoctrination. He has called for an investigation into Muslim schools after the Australian Government revoked funding for several Private Muslim Schools. In 2017, Imam Tawhidi wanted Islamic Schools closeddue to lack of transparency and many cases of radicalisation.
Imam Tawhidi believes that all citizens should give back to their country and nation. This can be done through volunteering in public events, joining the police force, reporting on crime, cleaning the roads, engaging in beneficial programs or donating towards charity organizations.
Imam Tawhidi believes in the importance of having a council of patriot Imams who stand for the values that have preserved Western Civilization. He believes that moderate Muslims should publicly unite with the majority of the nation against the extremist elements within the Muslim community.

I just bought a case with fa , as pi 4 is not working great without it. Now temperature is low, but as I have it in my room, I would like to turn it off while sleeping.
My fan is: https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B07V9Q95RX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
When I shutdown the pi, fan is still active, so I have to physically unplug power, which is not so great.
Is there a way to shutdown fan at the same time than pi ?
Hi @Juliatzin del Toro, Ah, let me see. If there is no power on/off switch on the power cord, perhaps you can DIY one: Rpi4B Case with Fan, 4 Heatsinks, 5V 3A USB-C PSU – US$17 – amazon.com/Smraza-Raspberry-Cooling-Heatsinks-Included/dp/… – (With a handy on/off switch on the 59 inches cable, easily press button to power on RPi4B) – tlfong01 Oct 3 at 5:32
Without knowing what case and how the fan is connected – No – Milliways Oct 3 at 6:03
This is the switch you can DIY: imgur.com/a/7GcpXDI. – tlfong01 Oct 3 at 6:29
@Milliways sorry I updated my question with fan link – Juliatzin del Toro Oct 3 at 7:03
And you can use this kind of switches: imgur.com/gallery/R0j5Ac9. These are 250V AC 3A ~ 5A switches. Your Rpi4 5.1V ~ 5.3V DC 3A wall wart output has a micro USB connector. So I would suggest (no guarantee nothing won't melt down!) to "insert" the switch between wall wart and micro USB connector. – tlfong01 Oct 3 at 7:18
Use gpio-fan. See this for reference: https://hackernoon.com/how-to-control-a-fan-to-cool-the-cpu-of-your-raspberrypi-3313b6e7f92c and https://github.com/spritrl/rpi-fan
Do not use an NPN transistor, it may or may not switch on perfectly with 8mA. Use a MOSFET, something like a BS170 (TO-92) or IRLZ24N (TO-220, big) and switch it neatly with 3V3. But really, the circuit specifics are "use what you have".
You will need to adjust your temperature threshold to an appropriate value. Generally, you want to keep the CPU temperature lower than 70°, or more ideally 60°, for longevity, and to mitigate thermal stress on components. Using an init.d script or rc.local is a matter of taste. It hardly seems worth it to make a service file.
How to turn off Rpi4B case's cooling fan without pulling the power plug?
There are many ways, including the following:
(1) Get a case with a manual power switch (Reference 2).
(2) DIY a manual cable power switch (Appendices A to C).
(3) Using Rpi GPIO to control a software switch to turn on/off the power supply for the cooling fan (Ref 6, Appendix C)
(4) Use a WiFi power plug, such a Sonoff (Ref 8 ~ 23).
(5) Use extreme passive cooling (Ref 24), using effective heatsink which is even better than a cooling fan.
(6) @Dmitry Grigoryev points out one thing I never thought of – When Rpi is shut down, 3v3 is also shutdown, even 5V power to Rpi is still on. So there are two get arounds, (a) Use Rpi 3V3 to drive the cooling fan, (b) Use a step up regulator to convert Rpi 3V3 to 5V, or even to 12V to drive a cooling fan.
(7) Ref 24's extreme passive cooling WITHOUT a fan performs better than a regular cooling fan. So this the quietest or perfect solution. Another similar method is to use the ICE Cooling Tower Fan 2.0 (Ref 27), which, if not using fan, should be as good (I guess) as the OP's cooling fan. (I once used a similar water circulation tubing heat sink PC graphics card, WITHOUT a fan, therefore very quiet, and PC chassis also uses fans with double bearing, or magnet bearing,so very quiet for my recording studio, …)
Discussion Notes #1 – 2019oct04 hkt1635
The OP commented that my answer does not meet his requirement, which is summarized below:
Lying in bed, after watching a movie, shut down the Rpi as a PC, without leaving the bed. Therefore a local switch near the Rpi but too far from bed won't do.
Now let me consider some cases and see if I can produce a real solution.
Case 1 – The OP sits in front of Rpi on a desk, starts the VLC Media Player, selects a movie, then walks to his bed, lies on bed and starts watching the movie. He does not want to leave the bed anymore, and wishes NOT to get up and walk to the wall socket to switch off the wall wart.
Now either he changes his present Rpi case without a manual power switch to a new one with manual power switch, or DIY his own switch, IF the switch is "local" to Rpi but remote from bed, then he has to get up to reach the switch.
In other words, if the switch either comes with the Rpi case, or DIY inserted, does NOT solve the problem.
Case 2 – I have thought about a couple of more possible solutions, including the following:
(2.1) Use a mobile phone to switch Rpi, and then case power,
(2.2) Use a remote controller (similar to TV remote) to switch off Rpi and then case power, or just cooling fan power, which is easier.
(2.3) Lengthen the power cord at either or both ends of the manual power switch (Appendix A, Tamiya socket labelled "B"). This way, the OP needs to carry the switch with a dangling long power cord to bed. But this method is easy. One problem is that Rpi won't be properly shutdown.
(2.4) use a WiFi power socket, …
(2.5) Extract the two wires connecting to the fan, extend the wires and added manual switch. This is easy but messy.
I need to ask the OP to confirm if I indeed understand his situation, and more details of his user requirements, before I suggest more solutions.
Discussion Notes #2 – 2019oct05 0938
Case 3
(3.1) Use a USB powered cooling fan, extend the USB cable to bedside, and without leaving the bed, just pull the USB plug to turn off the fan (Ref 7). This 40mm cooling fan is brushless, double bearing, and might be much more quiet than your Rpi case's built in fan. You can also find "magnetic" bearing which is even more quiet.
(3.2) And you can add temperature sensed PWM fan speed control, so if the Rpi is not playing video, Rpi becomes cool, the fan will automatically run at very low speed, or even stops. Now you can have a nice sleep, …
Case 4 – Updated 2019oct06hkt1204
In Case 2.4 above, I suggest using a WiFi power switch such as Sonoff, but I am not sure if the OP is confident to to the wiring of 200VAC wires. I also googled IoT Stack Exchange and found 50+ posts on uggest using a WiFi power switch, but I am not sure if the OP is confident to to the wiring of 200VAC wires. I also googled IoT Stack Exchange and found 50+ posts on Sonoff, including how to use Sonoff's GPIO pins to do other things (Perhaps turning on/off the OP's case's cooling fan, as well as the Rpi power.
Again, this is a bit risky and not recommended to newbies. So in case if the OP is interested in the approach,
I would suggest the OP to move this question to IoT Stack Exchange, …
For those those are interested to learn about Sonoff, IoT MQTT, ESP8266 etc, and dare not to touch the dangerous 200VAC mains, you can consider doing the following experiments.
(1) Open the Sonoff cover (it is hacker friendly, takes your less than 3 seconds)
(2) Study the schematic, find where the AC200V to 3V3 transformer output, remove the AC circuit, supply your own 3V3 power. Update (Ref 22 Youtube has a very good description of how NOT removing AC to DC converter circuit and can just supply your own 3V power from Win10 USB to UART TTL.)
(3) Find the ESP8266 chip's TxD, RxD, GPIO pins and use Rpi ESP8266 IDE to program the ESP8266.
There is a tutorial (Ref 20) on how to use LUA to program the ESP8266/ Sonoff smart switch. This tutorial is simple because it does not make use of any cloud, third party server, MQTT broker, you just use your smart phone to WiFi talk to ESP8266 whose pins can do the following: (1) switch on/off Rpi (logic or power circuit), (2) switch on/off cooling fan, with the help of ddriver 2N2222.
WARNING: I myself have not tried it. So there is no guarantee that something won't explode!

End of Answer
sorry, question is: Is there a way to shutdown fan at the same time than pi ? My use case is that I watch a movie with my Raspberry PI from my bed, so I don't want to leave my bed to turn off PI. So a local switch is not a good option… I just don't understand why PI can't tell everything to shutdown by software, like any PC would do. – Juliatzin del Toro Oct 4 at 8:08
1@Juliatzin del Toro, Ah let me see, so what you want is shutting down the Pi, like what any PC would do. Let me see if I can suggest anything better. – tlfong01 Oct 4 at 8:31
@Juliatzin del Toro, please read Discussion #1 in my answer, and confirm if I understand your situation correctly. Feel free to point out any thing missing, or make counter suggestions. PS, I am leaving for jogging, so see you later this evening or tomorrow. – tlfong01 Oct 4 at 9:13
@Juliatzin del Toro – More brainstorming ideas. You can also consider WiFi AC power switch, such as Sonoff. So you can use mobile phone, Alexa voice control, or timer control. (Ref 8 ~ 10, Appedix E) – tlfong01 Oct 5 at 3:56
If the fan is connected to the 5V and GND pins then they are not controlled by software. Those two pins are directly connected to your power supply, so as long as the power supply is connected and turned on at the wall socket your fan will continue to run.
But this does not answer the question: "Is there a way to shutdown fan at the same time than pi?" – Ingo Oct 3 at 10:55
1@ingo I don't understand your comments. The fan runs while the power is connected regardless of whether the RPi is booted. – Dougie Oct 3 at 16:20
Not really important and your answer is right, but that was not asked. How would you shut down the fan with the pi? With a common wall switch? – Ingo Oct 3 at 16:43
I don't remember how did I connect it, but I can check tomorrow. So did I buy the wrong case ? Is there some case that would actually turn off with PI ? – Juliatzin del Toro Oct 4 at 8:15
shop.pimoroni.com/products/fan-shim Or you can hack your fan with a transistor to switch the power raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=194621 – Dougie Oct 4 at 9:43
The easiest solution is to get a really quiet fan which you can leave running overnight. Personally I got a GPU cooler with a 12V fan: it still rotates reliably when powered with 5V, but at a much slower speed which makes it totally silent unless I put the case to my ear.
If you already bought a fan and it's 5V, I would try to plug it into 3.3V to see if it becomes silent enough, while still providing sufficient airflow. AFAIK 3.3V is also switched off when the RPi is shut down.
Also, if your fan doesn't include a heatsink and the cooling is sufficient, you could try the opposite: get rid of the fan and attach a passive heatsink to the chip.
