During most of my professional life I worked as a consultant in and for developing countries (Asia, Africa),  later in a few projects in Eastern Europe (Russia, Poland, Ukraine). My interest in climate variations and in extraterrestrial influences on weather and climate came up in Bangladesh: Over there some natural disaster can be expected every few years, be it a failing monsoon, meaning crop failure and food shortage, or extreme flooding, or a deadly cyclone with disastrous losses in life and property. Trying to understand the background of such natural disasters is here, as  in many other parts of the world, of highest interest. This then, inevitably, leads also to the very old question, whether and to what extent our moon and other planets are of influence, directly or indirectly, on our climate and living conditions.

My ideas about sunspot cycles, "shaker effects" and the rotation of sun and planets were first published in amateur astronomers periodicals: "Astro-Magazin" - Wien (1985); "Saturn" - Paderborn (1986); "Sonne" - Hamburg (1988) and "IFAG-Publikation" - Hoersching (1990). The ideas found some acceptance since then also in professional circles. Quite a number of scientists worldwide had a look at my internet- homepage meanwhile. Arguments leading to an outright rejection of my theories have not come up as yet.
