   Make that 20 million km inside Earth's orbit on the major   
   axis (somewhat less on the minor axis) and 10 million km   
   outside Mars orbit on its major axis.  But it seems   
   it was already set at that, so I don't need to redo   
   anything.   Also Mars orbit is more elliptical than   
   Earth orbit, but I think thy have at least approximately   
   the same major axis and minor axis directions.  If not,   
   the rotation mentioned above is about the Earth orbit   
   major axis direction.  Do I need to repeat anything? No.   
      
   I sure hope I don't have to visualize my region when   
   doing some funnelling, as I have before at times.   
   But maybe with my soul alignment with my region I won't.   
      
   I did my B.Sc.(Hon) thesis on Earth's core mantle boundary   
   and geomagnetic field, did my M.Sc. degree in Geophysics   
   in The Department of Geophysics and Astronomy at UBC,   
   while there was exposed to some oceanography in Math 500,   
   and in my later time in the Department of Earth Sciences   
   at MUN for my eventual Ph.D. I was also exposed to some   
   oceanography and meteorology while TAing first year   
   Earth Sciences labs.  I also did one introductory   
   astrophysics course during my undergrad at MUN,   
   including material on solar physics, and also some   
   material on planetary formation in Earth Sciences   
   courses.   
      
   What is the biggest crystal ball?   
   Gaia, who has many crystals.   
      
   There will be a new sibyl ability (like that in Joan D. Vinge's   
   SF novels The Snow Queen and The Summer Queen) granted in   
   R-HSBE that will allow communication with Gaia and other   
   Earthlike planets and moons (not just in the solar system).
