Product / Service / Licensing
Since 1996 it has been tested and developed at our Costa Rican facility for a broad range of environmentally sensitive applications. These include sanitation, the elimination of malodor, flies, mosquitoes and their larvae as well as for the acceleration of all types of organic biodegradation. Despite our well documented effectiveness, Eco-Enzyme is non-chemical, not an insecticide nor a detergent.
Eco-Enzyme is a 21st century enzyme technology that is effective and economical. It is a safe, organic product composed entirely of food grade vegetable ingredients. There are no bacteria present in any of our products and they are factory certified free of salmonella.
Our product works in part due to the catalytic action of its proprietary enzyme cocktail. Eco-Enzyme functions best in aerobic situations (presence of Oxygen) though we have also demonstrated powerful odor elimination results in anaerobic systems (ask to see our Perdue University manure pit study). Eco-Enzyme eliminates odor by chemically altering ammonia, hydrogen sulfide and phenols. We are most effective in lowering the all important O.D.T. (Odor Detection Threshold), the most telling measure of odor as a nuisance.
Eco-Enzyme is organic and 100% biodegradable. Eco-Enzyme accelerates biodegradation in organic composting applications and significantly improves wastewater characteristics in many wastewater treatment applications.
It is non toxic and harmless to humans, marine life, flora and fauna. The conscientious application of Eco-Enzyme in chicken and pig farms has been demonstrated to improve animal health, increase productivity ratios and reduce the incidence of respiratory illness.
Eco-Enzyme works well within a wide range of pH and temperatures. It is non-hazardous, not explosive nor combustible. It causes no known allergic reactions and no special handling precautions are required for personnel applying our products
Referred to as RECoN (Roaming Emergency Communications Network) for the Emergency Management sector and as ICoN (Infield Communications Network) for the non-emergency commercial organization, both solutions have been integrated using COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) and Open Systems components allowing for maximum flexibility.Wirelez

Risk Analysis
JML
Provides a unique service that complements the work of financial
and technical engineers. We place their findings and
recommendations of prospective investors and investment bankers
in an unbiased context that takes into account political,
regulatory and economic issues as well as the market history and
outlook.
Considerations:
Factors other than price, such as the attractiveness of business
plans, will weigh significantly in the registration and bidding
process and affect their outcome. Investor strategies need to be
based on a foundation that includes an understanding of social
and political, regulatory and economic institutions in Latin
America as much as it does on knowledge of technical issues. By
helping clients in these two areas we strengthen competitiveness.
Due Diligence:
JML amplifies the quantitative and qualitative analysis carried
out in the process of due-diligence by the prospective investor.
An area of concern is the matter of ecological liabilities that
a
buyer might be required to assume and that might come to be an
important operating difficulty and expenditure. We will assist
the buyer in developing protection mechanisms to be included in
the purchase agreements.
Intelligence:
Our fundamental purpose is to support management in the
assessment of risk and opportunity. We are committed to
providing
clients with a solid basis of intelligence for an investment
decision: the judgment may be to enter this initial round of
bidding or to postpone bidding until a future phase of
restructuring takes place.
Scenario Analysis:
JML has ample experience in Latin America. We have know-how and
know-who in the public and private sectors, which provide the
elements for creating perceptive scenarios. This is how we
assist
prospective buyers/investors and their other advisors to better
comprehend the environment in which they would register, bid
and,
if successful, operate these units.
That's why our work goes beyond the statistical and qualitative
analysis of data. For example, we arrange meetings with key
individuals in government and private sector so that our clients
come to have more suitable intuitive feeling for the Mexican
mind
set.
In conclusion, we add value with our appraisal of the operating
environment and the market. We assess and analyse from singular
vantage point the seller's disclosures and financial and
technical evaluations. In this way we help shape successful
qualifying and bidding strategies.

Plane Catches Fire After Landing in Egypt, Miraculously No Passengers Hurt
Moments after landing, a plane full of passengers in Egypt erupted in flames, but a speedy emergency response and an ample amount of luck averted tragedy for all 196 people on board.
The Ukrainian SkyUp flight was taxiing across the tarmac at Sharm el-Sheikh Airport on Saturday when the left landing gear caught fire, The Sun reported. The tabloid suggested that hydraulic fluid leaked onto the brakes, which were still hot, causing the wheel to catch on fire. Emergency crews quickly arrived to douse the fire, preventing a tragedy.
According to SkyUp, not one of the 196 people on board got hurt and the wheels and brakes on the plane would be replaced following an inspection by engineers.
The Egyptian Civil Aviation Ministry praised the ground service team for their professionalism and handling of the incident. They were successfully able to prevent the fire from spreading to other parts of the aircraft.


To monitor the system health of an application using XEP, the MCU watchdog and a monitor task is used.
When an error is found, the monitor task will do a system reset.
A special FreeRTOS task called monitor_task has the code to check that the other tasks are alive. To get the monitor_task recognize which tasks to monitor, a register function monitor_task_register is provided to register the task to the monitor system. This register task has a timeout parameter to set the maximum time between two adjacent calls of an "alive" function call (monitor_task_alive) before the monitor task will trigger and do a system reset.
The monitor task will execute with an interval defined by MONITOR_TASK_CYCLE_TIME.
Example of using the monitor task to monitor a FreeRTOS task:
#include "monitor_task.h" static void task_application(void *pvParameters) { // Your init code // Register the current task to the monitor system. // Timeout is set to 1000ms monitor_task_t * monitor_task_handle; status = monitor_task_register(&monitor_task_handle, 1000); // The task loop for(;;) { // Signal alive to the monitor system status = monitor_task_alive(monitor_task_handle); // Your task code } }
If the monitor task do not catch the error, the MCU watchdog timer is enabled and will do a system reset when the watchdog timer expires.
The reason for a reset is stored in a non volatile MCU register that can be examined after a reset. To get the reason for the last reset, the function xt_get_reset_reason will return the last reason for a reset. See xt_swreset_reason_t for a description of reset reasons.


The world is full of mysteries. And where a mystery exists, there is someone who is willing to investigate it.
It's not always an Adventurer Archaeologist, either. Anyone with a decent education, or just a lot of free time on their hands, can be a researcher.
But woe be to the researcher who also happens to be an NPC.
This trope is dedicated to those proud men who have braved the dangers, studied the ancient runes, and tried everything necessary to open the door. They have spent months or even years trying to make their studies bear fruit, only to watch wordlessly as The Hero arrives and cracks the puzzle before the break of dawn.
A cruel fate for a man whose only mistake was not being The Only One.
Video Game Examples:
- The Legend of Zelda:
- Shad from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess has been investigating a legendary city in the sky where the ancestors of the Hylian race once lived, following the work of his father before him. While it is true that he could not have made much progress without a certain rod that was kept in one of the temples, that does not explain why Link shoos him away, takes the cannon himself, explores the civilization, and refuses to share his findings with him.
- Linebeck of The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass makes an interesting twist on this trope, being a character who very much wants to discover the secrets of the local Temple but has done very little to actually work for it. (Other characters, however, did make a considerable effort to uncover the Temple's secrets, as evidenced by the large number of corpses inside.)
- Linebeck also fails to carry a sword, let alone the legendary artifact that actually allows people to survive the temple. Even so, he still does more to assist Link on his quest than almost any other character in the game. Not that this stops the Exposition Fairy from teasing him for his bragging and cowardice.
- Not to mention The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker's Salvage Co., a group of brave explorers (with state of the art diving suits) in search of the legendary "Triumph Forks". Yeah...Apparently the legend degraded over time...
- Gorko the Goron in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword has been unsuccessfully researching various things, such as the owl statues, which he can't figure out how to activate. Link just walks up to one and they all turn on automatically. Later, you can "solve" the mysterious Goddess Cubes for him by swinging your sword at them, and sketch things on walls to help him determine the meaning of some ancient puzzles. Gorko, of course, had no chance of figuring out any of these things himself, simply because he doesn't have Link's magic sword.
- Unlike most examples though, he's happy, and not entirely redundant, as the information he's gotten from studying the items allows him to explain to Link exactly what they do now that they're unlocked.
- The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: There's a researcher named Calip in the Hateno region who's trying to unearth a shrine based on a prophecy about a cursed statue. He somehow fails to notice one of the statue's eyes glows brightly at night, so it's up to Link to summon the shrine for him by solving the puzzle.
- God of War has all the other poor bastards who tried to get to Pandora's Box. You even have to burn one of them alive at one point.  Knowing Kratos as we do this is totally justified; No one is more badass.
- Badass is subjective. What isn't subjective is the fact that Kratos is a demi-god, and is much MUCH more powerful than your average adventurer.
- And in the sequel, there's all of the poor saps that are on their way to beg the Sisters of Fate for favors. One of them is your last mook. Zeus killed the rest while you were busy climbing out of Tartarus.
- La-Mulana is particularly cruel to these guys. By the time the protagonist shows up, the ruins are positively littered with the corpses of Indy wannabees who weren't quite good enough. Check their corpses for notes and items.
- They even mark the locations of traps for you. Sadly, they do this with their own corpses.
- The protagonist themselves is one in 1001 Spikes, as his goal is to case the Ukampa Ruins to show up his late father, an ace explorer he was never able to match up against in life.
- Toma from Chrono Trigger can be found drinking in inns as he researches an island known as the Giant's Claw. In the end, he discovers the location of the island, but has yet to make any progress when Crono and his friends explore the long-deserted prehistoric ruins, find the legendary Rainbow Shell hidden within, and beat him to the punch. It's just as well. If they hadn't, he would have died before he ever found the treasure, as his ghost was responsible for telling them where it was located and thus changing the timeline.
- Kolorado from Paper Mario goes on no fewer than three archaeological expeditions over the course of the game. Mario beats him to his goal the first time. The second time, the two explore a volcanic island as part of the same party, and Mario ends up doing all the work. The third time, one of Mario's party members leads him there, and makes it no secret that he and Mario have already cleaned out the place by that time. To be fair, Kolorado is the Small Name, Big Ego type, and Mario is nice enough to give him the ancient artifacts that he doesn't need.
- The sequels have their own characters, Flavio and Flint Cragley, in the same role. These two eventually make up for their ineffective exploration skills with negotiation and charisma.
- In Pokémon Gold and Silver, the Alph Ruins have existed for 1500 years, and a research center has been studying the place for ten years. When the protagonist arrives, it's only a matter of solving a single sixteen-block picture puzzle to open the ruins and reveal the existence of the ancient Pokemon species known as Unown. Ten years...
- Played around with in a television ad for Pokemon Crystal, which shows a group of explorers trying to push open a door that has Unown markings above it. Two native trainers/guides are watching, wondering if they should tell the explorers that the markings spell "Pull".
- Worse, there was an explorer in Ruby/Sapphire who had been looking for ruins in the desert for so long he can't remember when he started. And then you can find it, capture the Regirock inside, and use it against him in battle. Of course, no player would shatter another person's soul like that, right? Right?
- This one at least made sense, though, since the area you had to go to to open the place up was miles away and underwater. Not to mention you needed two hard-to-find Pokemon and had to read a secret code (which was actually braille, but still...).
- In Knights of the Old Republic, a technician on Manaan needs the main character's help to decipher a Sith passcard. This task requires basic arithmetic skills. Elsewhere, the mysteries of the Cave of Certain Death are unlocked by solving two oddly-worded trivia quizzes. Said unexplored cave is located 50 meters from Jedi HQ — although, given that the first thing you find there, apart from an ancient droid, is the corpse of your less lucky predecessor, maybe the Jedi really are that stupid.
- The second case is averted insofar as there doesn't seem to be any researchers to make redundant, your dead predecessor not withstanding (and she might simply not have had your language skills to get to the trivia quizzes) — it's implied that the Jedi Council prefers not sending people there for a very simple reason: they can sense that the Dark Side is strong there.
- Justified in Golden Sun: The Lost Age. While at least two sets of ruins have been discovered, it appears to be common knowledge among the local townsfolk that only those with the power of Psynergy will be able to make any progress investigating them.
- Also Justified in Suikoden V- the Sindar Ruins that Zweig, Lorelai and the other scholars are researching are directly connected to the Prince's Dawn Rune and won't activate unless he's there. Since the rune is unique, impossible to copy and chooses its wielder, none of them could possibly get past those particular seals on the ruins without him. In the chronologically later Suikoden II, Lorelai does a much better job of getting into Sindar Ruins elsewhere in the world that aren't connected to the Dawn Rune.
- Subverted in Phantasy Star IV. A guest character at one point in the game appears to be a character in this mold...but once you get into the ruins, it turns out that he's actually one of the incarnations of Dark Force, and was just using you to get inside.
- It actually isn't so clear. He never says anything to that effect, and in fact screams in horror when he starts to transform into the latest incarnation of the Big Bad, implying that he was somehow unaware of what he was.
- It also has an aversion in Professor Holt, whose only obstacle in getting into Birth Valley is the fact that he was turned to stone by a villain. The heroes don't even care about Birth Valley, they only go there because they were hired to rescue the professor. Once you've cured him, he goes on about his business exploring the ruins.
- Averted with Threads of Fate, either Mint or Rue retrieve artifacts for Klaus to research, but strictly speaking, Mint/Rue does nothing toward solving mysteries around them. In a further aversion, Klaus seemingly completes his researches in record time.
- Even major characters aren't immune to this. In Mass Effect, if you do the other story missions before recruiting Liara, she will lament the fact that you've learned more about the Protheans in a matter of days than she'd learned in decades of study.
- In the first game, there's a minor NPC named Chorban who asks you to scan the keepers in the Citadel to get scientific data on them. If you scan all of them, he sends you an email in the second game telling you that the keepers are programmed to respond to a signal every 50,000 years, and that the next signal is supposed to come out...about right now. It'd be pretty helpful information if it weren't for the fact that you learned about it two years ago. It would also be a push toward verifying that what you are saying is true, except that no one will listen to him either.
- Averted in Exit Fate—if you tell the Researcher in question that you know the location of the ruins he's searching for, he'll join you as an Optional Party Member and decipher the writing in the ruins.
- On the other hand, there's Myst and his constant efforts to revive the dead For Science!. He fails four or five times onscreen and has presumably done so several times before, so of course Daniel comes along and manages it on the first try.

- Resident Evil has George Trevor, the ill-fated architect of the Spencer Mansion who, just like many architects in legend, is kept captive and ultimately dies to keep the secrets of his insane employer's trap-filled manor. What makes him a true-blue Redundant Researcher is that he escaped and left journal entries chronicling his hellish journey through the maze of his own making before he finally succumbed from fatigue and starvation. His journal notes act as clues for the STARS agents as they fight their way through the mansion.

Distributed Web of Care
New Gardens
by Callil, DWC fellow
1.
When I was young I lived next to a Biodynamic farm and intentional living community in upstate NY. I was able to freely roam through orchards, cropped fields and small gardens. As I spent time in these environments, unbeknownst to me I was brushing up against embedded knowledge by proxy. In the biodynamic context, the soil, plants and animals are seen as interrelated and dynamic. A farmer or gardener becomes steward of plants with the goal of creating a healthy and holistic system. Biodynamic stewardship comes through not only in caring for the plants,but also in the social structures that makes this approach possible.
It’s important to note that the Biodynamic framework was never explicitly taught, only implicitly discovered by participating in the farming. These abstract teachings were discovered mostly by stumbling on to the day of harvest. Now, years later this implicit knowledge, and the methods used to disseminate this knowledge is re-emerging for me in the context of my practice.
My garden this morning
Recently, I have been working on my garden here in Brooklyn. In many ways, I still carry with me a lot of the knowledge from the biodynamic context. One method I’ve been experimenting with is called the Three Sisters, a technique I was exposed to by hearing this story…
2.
Corn, the oldest sister, was said to grow strong and proud. Squash, the youngest sister, crouched at the feet of the other two, keeping them protected from predators. Beans, the middle sister leaned on her older sister for support and twined the three together. source
The act of seeding the Three Sisters is an act of stewardship & guidance that plays with the inherent strengths of each plant and the ecosystem it is part of. Recognizing these symbiotic structures is something that is important in the context of both farming and organizing social structures - so too is the practice of care and maintenance.
Lately I find myself in our current digital context seeking the spaces and communities where new narratives can be written that feel more like biodynamic farming or methods passed down through oral traditions. Maybe together we can make spaces where implicit knowledge is conveyed through the cultivated expression of a holistic point of view. One concrete example of a space where there is potential to create these new narratives is within the distributed web.
Even though the usefulness of extending the metaphor of gardening to the distributed web can only take us so far, here are a few elements of the holistic practice of gardening that we might learn from to stretch the boundaries of the normative patterns in our digital spaces today.
- The notion of time and seasons as a forcing function for growth, death, rest and rebirth. Maybe as a rejection of the vectorized ideal of technology (uni-directional and totalizing)
- Slowness and patience in waiting for the development of one’s self and people around you.
- Seeding and cultivation as an intentional act with a clear understanding of the substrate in which it happens.
- Sanctuary and reflection related to spaces of calm, quiet and safety.
- Sustenance related to the growth of communities and knowledge.
- The relationship between social structures and knowledge, especially knowledge that is embedded in practice.
3.
Seeking out these patterns within a tech centered practice is one way of putting into practice some of the ideas above. This might take the form of using tools that ask different things from you or designing systems for your self. It might also look like organizing events and communities where ideas for a different kind of web can be experimented with and embodied.
Recently I helped organize an event called Peer-to-Peer Web NYC at SFPC - for the event my friend Phil Cao created this poster that uses plants, and flowers in bloom to represent our point of view of what the distributed web might be. During the event, we invited a wide range of local participants to share their projects and practices to illustrate how concepts of seeding, leeching, pollination texture and more can become profound ways of looking at what it means for diverse expressions of the web to form.
I’ve also been participating in and organizing for groups like NYCMesh. These groups serve as a fertile place to think about new approaches to technology; imagine if the distribution of knowledge was more like a folk tale rather than a singular post.
4.
Only recently have I been able to begin asking myself questions like: What are the materials we have to explore and what does it mean to view our digital spaces holistically? What are other disciplines beyond the digital sphere we might look towards?
When considering the concept of the distributed web, we might look towards both the metaphor and practice of gardening and farming. I hope that we can show how building for digital spaces requires respect, patience, and a real awareness of the environment around you.
Maybe we can write some new folk tales together.
I was walking through a new garden. As I passed each plant they turned to me and smiled - the corn, being tall, had to bend down and said to me: “Come sit and while. I’ll tell you the story of how far my pollen has traveled, the bees that visit me and the minerals that help me grow. They are all connected and we can be too.”

LIVE FLESH Reviewed by Harvey Karten, Ph.D. Goldwyn Films/MGM Director: Pedro Almodovar Writer: Pedro Almodovar/novel by Ruth Rendell Cast: Liberto Rabal, Javier Bardem, Francesca Neri, Angela Molina, Pepe Sancho.
New York magazine calls this movie "The Calming of Almodovar," though "Live Flesh" is hardly a laid-back production. The calmness is only in contrast to the wilder Almodovar, a product of a style of filmmaking fashionable in the 1980s. During that decade directors were encouraged to experiment freely, especially in a Spain experiencing prosperity and freedom unknown during the Franco era. His current picture owes a debt more to Alfred Hitchcock than to his hero, Luis Bunuel: Spain's most notable director departs radically from the cartoonish abandon and exploitation of the subconscious to tell a solid story with devastating consequences. Unless you remain a diehard fan of Almodovar's Age of Delirium, a devotee of the garish, wildly inventive and unrestrained in your movies, you may consider that "Live Flesh" is the director's most accessible and realized film to date. When you consider that this youthful-looking forty-six year old man plans to make his next movie far from the Iberian Peninsula--in Miami of all places--you can relax, assured that you will not leave the theater bewildered and hammered over the head with blatant caricatures passing as satire. "Live Flesh" is remarkably taut, logical, even well framed, featuring the usual elements which make life worth living: revenge, lust, and guilt and redemption.
Played out like a game of musical chairs, "Live Flesh" is a merry-go-roundelay featuring four characters whose connections to one another prove to be as surprising to us as they are troublesome to the hapless people. The opening scene is startling--comic, yet contained, with political overtones that will impress those in the audience familiar with the repressions of the Franco era in Spain. On one freezing January night, Victor--not yet even born--begins to make his presence felt as he jolts his mother from her bed screaming from labor pains, only to be born inside a bus. The streets are deserted, the Madrilenos cowered by Franco's emergency decrees that allow citizens to be arrested and detained without cause.  As they race up the stairs to settle what they believe to be a rape-in-progress, they encounter Victor (Liberto Rabal) in the midst of a terrible argument with Elena (Francesca Neri), a drug-addicted daughter of an Italian diplomat. In a struggle over a pistol, David is shot in the back and paralyzed from the waist down, his alleged shooter, Victor, sentenced to several years in jail.
The young Victor is innocent, however, and when he is not exercising in his cell, learning Bulgarian, and studying Bible he is plotting revenge--a plan which may bring to mind a similar design by Chad in Neil LaBute's wonderful tale of betrayal, "In the Company of Men." In the remarkably short interval of an hour-and-a-half, Almodovar blends a tapestry of lust, vengeance and redemption involving sexual liaisons that engage the four principals--Sancho, his wife Clara (Angela Molina), his partner David, and the young Victor.
Employing the psychological reflections common to the works of another Spanish filmmaker, Carlos Saura, Almodovar manager to cast sidelong aspersions against the Church, whose teachings of original sin lead Elena into a guilt-induced marriage with the paralyzed David, and a compulsive generosity--before her ultimate realization that redemption does not lie in effecting a 180-degree change in one's life. A liar, druggie, and crude youth, she will give way to an obsessively truthful and offensively honest inversion--which does not serve to resolve her life of unending psychic pain. Nor does the brutal Sancho learn much from his experience in brutalizing his wife almost weekly for her indulgences of infidelity.
While none of the performers is as known to an American audience as Antonio Banderas--whom Almodovar introduced to the world some time ago--those familiar with Spanish cinema will recognize names like Javier Bardem, most recently seen in "Boca a Boca." Considered by some to be Spain's top male actor of his generation, Bardem moves about in his wheelchair with more energy and speed than most healthy individuals, apparently possessed by demons that will not allow him to rest. The strikingly attractive Francesca Neri inhabits the role of a diplomat's daughter who changes from the muck of dope addiction to the solidly middle-class but repressed middle-class life. Angela Molina shines as the frustrated, abused wife afraid of leave her sadistic husband but eager to teach young Victor the sensuous arts--to realize the youth's dream to become "the world's best lover."
"Live Flesh" is a fully fleshed-out drama with Greek-tragic resonance, evoking the searing pain of individuals controlled by the Furies. Rated R. Running Time: 91 minutes. (C) 1998 Harvey Karten

Description
Lancaster University Students' Union asked me to consolidate multiple websites into a single flexible homepage. I designed and developed a bright and exciting responsive solution based on the Wordpress CMS, extending the functionality to allow for the union to provide the majority of their services in one place.


The first time I took LSD was a very high dose (well over 1000 mcg) and it took a long time to kick in. We watched some movies and laughed and I saw some trail but after 5 hours there was still nothing more. We left in a van with some of her friends to find some marijuana- because MJ is suppose to potentiate LSD.
After the rant I reached for a cigarette but could no longer control my body- I felt pulled out of myself and was watching my body from an outside perspective. Then this happened again with the outside versionof myself spliting again so I was watching a version of myself that was watching another version of myself. In the second perspective everything looked normal but from the third perspective the world became bent, jagged and kaleidoscopic.
I was able to see through different layers of reality and I noticed that I could slip through the cracks in it because this form I was in was 'thin' or without dimesion or maybe in a higher dimension. I slipped through one of the spaces in reality and saw a giant energy vortex that I felt drawn to. I entered it and was instantly torn to pieces I could still see the origional me in the van and the one outside the car as well. The one in the car appeared to have a seizure as I entered the vortex the one outside seemed to be talking but in a form that was visual/symbolic and these symbols kept flying out of it's mouth.
Then for a brief instant- I was everything. I saw out of every photon and electron in every being living or dead to have ever existed. My mind was overloading I couldn't handle it. Then I found myself back in the car and the people there tell me that I was saying something in words that are unpronouncable. I tried to explain but the words were lost in my head, I couldn't talk! I though man I've done it I paid the price of my very sanity tosee through the eyes of god.
When we fianlly got back to my friends house I managed to pull it together for a short bit and get up to her room. She asked if I was okay and I replied that I was. She seemed to believe me until my eyes made contact with the mirror. I felt a little shift of my self sideways in perspective but nothing else.
I heard my friend scream and turned to look at her as she ran down the stairs. I tried to stop her but she couldn't seem to hear me. She got her parents and told them I was dying from a drug OD. I yelled at them from the stairs that I was fine. Then they ran up the stairs- right through me!
I followed them and when I got to the top I noticed my body laying on the floor motionless. I looked at my hands and they melted off as soon as I looked at them. I 'ran' over to my body and touched it- as I touched it I entered back into it. They dragged me to the hospital against my wishes. Along the way my mind exited my body and I was viewing myself in third person quite a bit.
I felt feverish and sick- I remembered my first hallucinations that I had with scarlet fever as a young child. I remembered the fever so vividly it came into existance again- I felt exactly like I did them. I got to the hospital about 10 hours after we dosed and vomitted a few times. My heart felt like a freight train in my chest. They strapped me to a table and took many blood samples (who knows what for or what became of them). My mother and brother came in.
The cotton mouth effect was made more annoying under the effects of the LSD but the nurse wouldn't give me water. My mother gave me water. The hospital staff just ridiculed me about how I had probably taken rat poison, while I tried to pull the knowledge I had learned together enough to tell her it is almost impossible to adulterate LSD- but I could barely talk. Finally after being in the hospital for another 4 hours while they did nothing, no thorazine, no benzo's nothing. I went home and tripped for a good 7 more hours before falling asleep.
Many people would never trip again if that was their first trip- for me it made me more interested. Anything that powerful has to be able to allow us access to new abilities, philosophies, or spirtituality. So this was the begining of the adventure. The birth of Renwick.

| SUMMARY: NESTED | FIELD | CONSTR | METHOD | DETAIL: FIELD | CONSTR | METHOD |
public interface SqlQuery
Query object for performing native SQL queries that return SqlRow's.
Firstly note that you can use your own sql queries with entity beans by using the SqlSelect annotation. This should be your first approach when wanting to use your own SQL queries.
If ORM Mapping is too tight and constraining for your problem then SqlQuery could be a good approach.
The returned SqlRow objects are similar to a LinkedHashMap with some type conversion support added.
// its typically a good idea to use a named query // and put the sql in the orm.xml instead of in your code String sql = "select id, name from customer where name like :name and status_code = :status"; SqlQuery sqlQuery = Ebean.createSqlQuery(sql); sqlQuery.setParameter("name", "Acme%"); sqlQuery.setParameter("status", "ACTIVE"); // execute the query returning a List of MapBean objects List<SqlRow> list = sqlQuery.findList();
| Method Summary | |

This must be called from a different thread to the one executing the query.
List<SqlRow> findList()
Set<SqlRow> findSet()
Map<?,SqlRow> findMap()
SqlRow findUnique()
If this query finds 2 or more rows then it will throw a PersistenceException.
SqlFutureList findFutureList()
This returns a Future object which can be used to cancel, check the execution status (isDone etc) and get the value (with or without a timeout).
SqlQuery setParameter(String name, Object value)
SqlQuery setParameter(int position, Object value)
SqlQuery setListener(SqlQueryListener queryListener)
It this case the rows are not loaded into the persistence context and instead can be processed by the query listener.
Use this when you want to process a large query and do not want to hold the entire query result in memory.
SqlQuery setFirstRow(int firstRow)
SqlQuery setMaxRows(int maxRows)
SqlQuery setBackgroundFetchAfter(int backgroundFetchAfter)
SqlQuery setMapKey(String mapKey)
SqlQuery setTimeout(int secs)
This will typically result in a call to setQueryTimeout() on a preparedStatement. If the timeout occurs an exception will be thrown - this will be a SQLException wrapped up in a PersistenceException.
secs
- the query timeout limit in seconds. Zero means there is no limit.SqlQuery setBufferFetchSizeHint(int bufferFetchSizeHint)
Gives the JDBC driver a hint as to the number of rows that should be fetched from the database when more rows are needed for ResultSet.

Never ever threaten anyone on IRC. Ever.
U.S. Department of Justice | Submitted by: kade
"The hacker group to which Miller belonged was responsible for denial of
service attacks on the Undernet Internet Relay Chat network. One of the denial
of service attacks, which occurred on October 21, 2000, resulted in the
inability of approximately 150 customers to use their accounts, resulting in
financial losses. According to the criminal complaint that was filed in this
case, it is alleged that Miller's hacker group conspired to initiate denial of
service attacks against the Undernet after they were banned from the Undernet
for using the server to trade their hacking tools."

the results are arranged into categories such as eating and drinking,
fashion, mood and even spirituality. "The turnaround," said Ms. Lee, "can
be as little as 48 hours."

Gruesome, greasy, gratuitous death scene
Guardian | Submitted by: Ann Onymous
The BBC has been inundated with complaints about a graphic scene in the new TV drama Spooks in which one of the characters suffered a gruesome death in a deep fat fryer.
More than 100 viewers telephoned to protest about the scene in which Helen, a young MI5 trainee played by Lisa Faulkner, is captured and murdered after an undercover operation goes wrong.
Viewers saw the character's hand being plunged into a deep fat fryer as her captor, a rightwing extremist, tries to extort information about MI5 workers from her partner, played by Matthew Macfadyen.
After he refuses, their captors are shown plunging Helen's head into the boiling oil before the camera cuts away. Seconds later she is shown being shot in the head.

Anthrax: an inside job?
Counterpunch | Submitted by: Ann Onymous
"While some of the anthrax the terrorist sent was spoiled during delivery,
one sample appears to have come through intact. The letter received by Senator
Tom Daschle contained one trillion anthrax spores per gram: a concentration
which only a very few US government scientists, using a secret and strictly
controlled technique, know how to achieve. It must, moreover, have been
developed in a professional laboratory, containing rare and
sophisticated "weaponization" equipment. There is only a tiny number of
facilities, all of them in the US, in which it could have been produced."
