MRS. MARIA SOCORRO CREDIT ACCOUNTS OFFICER HEAD OFFICE EQUITABLE PCI BANK TWR. MKT AVENUE. COR.H.V DELA COSTA STR PHILIPPINES. Good Day, Let me start by introducing myself, I am MRS MARIA SOCORRO, CREDIT ACCOUNTS OFFICER EQUITABLE PCI BANK. I am writing you this letter based on the latest development at my bank, which I will like to bring to your personal edification. I am writing you this letter with so much joy and excitement even though my heart goes out to the very powerfuland distinguished gentleman who I was fortunate to have worked for and extremely privileged to have known for numerous years. I am a top official in charge of client accounts in EQUITABLE PCI BANK inside the Philippines.In 2001, my client was going through a horrendous divorce in the United States Of America and Was on the verge of losing most of his estate to his vicious and diabolical wife. As a result of this alarming predicament, my client came to me with a very brilliant idea. He transferred some funds, ten million two hundred thousand dollars($10.2m) to a fixed deposit account in my bank under an alias which only the two of us knew about as the confidentiality of the matter was necessary for his protection. Due to his untimely death in early 2002, the funds have been sitting in the account ever since and will continue to do so perpetually unless we do something about it. This is where you come in. I located you through an agency that helps seek people by their email. My client did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paperwork of his bank deposit. Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I would like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to our client so that you will be able to receive his funds. I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we can come out successful. I have contacted an attorney that will prepare the necessary document that will back you up as the next of kin to my client. All that is required from you at this stage is for you to provide me with your Full Names and Address so that the attorney can commence his job. The allocation of our money will be as follows: 20%($2.02m) to you for your part in this, 75% for me and my partners and 5% for any unforeseeable expenses we may incur.You can contact with this<EMAIL_ADDRESS>kind Regards, Mrs. Maria Socorro (mrs_socorro27@hotmail.com)

The first of your research tasks is a comprehensive intake questionnaire—this questionnaire will ask you many questions regarding you expertise, education, background, as well as questions about how you approach complex analytic questions—we will even ask you to complete a few analytic problem solving questions as part of the intake. Your completion of the intake questionnaire is critical to making sure the applications being tested are useful and usable for the widest possible range of interested people!
We expect the intake questionnaire to take between 30-60 minutes to complete depending on your pace. Preferably, we hope you can complete the intake questionnaire in a single sitting. However, if you need to leave the intake questionnaire and return to it at a later date, you can return to your place by clicking the link below. If you wait too long the link may expire, so please complete the questionnaire promptly, if possible.
When you have completed your intake questionnaire, or if you decide not to complete the intake questionnaire, you may return to your task list to start the next task.

Suggested Story Details:
~ The year is 2051 and the world has moved to Ethereum and Virtual Reality.
~ NFTs give abilities in the virtual world. They've become the center of culture and work.
~ Satoshi Nakamoto reappears with a cryptic message: Find my keys, with 4 NFTs. 1 punk, 1 ape, 1 loot, 1 cat.
~ A early 2020s NFT researcher sees this and embarks on a quest to find them.
~ His journey will take him through the different NFT virtual words that exist in 2051 as well as the history of early NFTs.

PolicyPad gets its name from the yellow legal pads that I’m sure many of you used or still use as a job-aid when issuing title policies. It consists of a form that holds all of the information we will need to complete the review and issue the policy, a state-specific checklist of review items that can be added to, and buttons that can be used to store common phrases so that they can be easily copied to the clipboard and we can avoid typing the same phrases again and again throughout the day.
PolicyPad also calculates the underwriter premium split based on the split percent stored in state data and the premium amount and endorsements from the rate calculator and has optional fields for check amount verification.
It also has a text area just below the info fields and above the check verification fields if they are visible, that displays state-specific data like the underwriter, premium split and CPL amount, if any.
Policy Pad has a customizable review list that can display as little or as much as a user prefers. The state-specific list can be edited from the Edit Menu by selecting "Edit State Data" and updating the review items field. File-specific items can be added by entering them in the "Currative Issues/ Review Items..." field and pressing enter or clicking "Add".
Each item can be checked-off of the list or removed by clicking the list item or the "X" to the far right of the list item. When the file is issued ( by pressing "I") or added to the Problem File list ( by pressing "P") the list is reset. All of the fields (except for the file number) are reset as well as the review list when the "Clear All" button is clicked.
At the bottom of PolicyPad are a group of customizable buttons that can store data so that it can easily be copied to the clipboard. Buttons can be added or removed in the Edit Menu by selecting "Edit Copy Buttons".
In addition to copying stored phrases, some buttons have built in special functions. They can still be added or removed, but if you try to use one in a way it isn't intended, you may get unexpected results. Below is a list of the Special Function Buttons and their functions:
Policy Pad is designed to be used as much or little as the user prefers.

I will break your heart.   Then there will come a time, I will not need you anymore.   I will mess you emotionally and that will be my poison. so before you get in, be sure this is it.
I wanted to end the week with you. Then I wondered, why not begin the night with you, and would it be so terrible if I carried it over to breakfast and a cup of something hot to drink and smoke with you?
Look after your friends. Make sure they are okay. Sometimes they are going through things that are really heavy, things that they dont know how to put in words. They might say that they are fine but they are not.Never underestimate the power of a kind word or deed. So spread the love.

This package provides SAX Tree: a tree model optimized for creation from SAX
events and replay as SAX events.
Design Principles
- Preserve information exposed through
ContentHandler
,
LexicalHandler
and Locator
.
- Creation from SAX events or as part of the parse of a conforming
HTML5 document should be fast.
- Emitting SAX events based on the tree should be fast.
- Mutations should be possible but should not make the above
"fast" cases slower.
- Concurrent reads should work without locking when there are no
concurrent mutations.
- The user of the API has the responsibility of using the API properly:
for the sake of performance, the model does not check if it is being
used properly. Improper use may, therefore, put the model in and
inconsistent state.

Author: Weston Price Level: Intermediate Technologies: JMS Summary: Demonstrates the use of a standalone (Java SE) JMS client Target Product: EAP
This quickstart demonstrates the use of external JMS clients with JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 or JBoss AS 7.
It contains the following:
A message producer that sends messages to a JMS destination deployed to a JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 or JBoss AS 7 server.
A message consumer that receives message from a JMS destination deployed to a JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 or JBoss AS 7 server.
All you need to build this project is Java 6.0 (Java SDK 1.6) or better, Maven 3.0 or better.
The application this project produces is designed to be run on JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 or JBoss AS 7.
If you have not yet done so, you must Configure Maven before testing the quickstarts.
This quickstart uses secured management interfaces and requires that you create an application user to access the running application. Instructions to set up the quickstart application user can be found here: Add an Application User
If you are using the JBoss AS 7 Quickstart distribution, the server configuration file already contains the JMS test
queue and you can skip this step.
However, if you are using the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 distribution, you need to add the JMS test
queue to the application server configuration file. You can configure JMS using the JBoss CLI or by manually editing the configuration file.
Start the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 or JBoss AS 7 Server by typing the following:
For Linux: JBOSS_HOME_SERVER_1/bin/standalone.sh -c standalone-full.xml
For Windows: JBOSS_HOME_SERVER_1\bin\standalone.bat -c standalone-full.xml
To start the JBoss CLI tool, open a new command line, navigate to the JBOSS_HOME directory, and type the following:
For Linux: bin/jboss-cli.sh --connect
For Windows: bin\jboss-cli.bat --connect
At the prompt, type the following:
[standalone@localhost:9999 /] jms-queue add --queue-address=testQueue --entries=queue/test,java:jboss/exported/jms/queue/test
Add the JMS test
queue as follows:
Find the messaging subsystem:
<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:messaging:1.1">
Scroll to the end of this section and add the following XML after the </jms-connection-factories>
end tag but before the </hornetq-server>
element:
<jms-destinations>
<jms-queue name="testQueue">
<entry name="queue/test"/>
<entry name="java:jboss/exported/jms/queue/test"/>
</jms-queue>
</jms-destinations>
Save the changes and close the file.
The following shows the command line to start the server with the full profile:
For Linux: JBOSS_HOME/bin/standalone.sh -c standalone-full.xml
For Windows: JBOSS_HOME\bin\standalone.bat -c standalone-full.xml
To run the quickstart from the command line:
Make sure you have started the JBoss server. See the instructions in the previous section.
Open a command line and navigate to the root of the helloworld-jms quickstart directory:
cd PATH_TO_QUICKSTARTS/helloworld-jms
Type the following command to compile and execute the quickstart:
For JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 (Maven user settings NOT configured):
mvn clean compile exec:java -s PATH_TO_QUICKSTARTS/example-settings.xml
For JBoss AS 7 or JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 (Maven user settings configured):
mvn clean compile exec:java
If the maven command is successful, with the default configuration you will see output similar to this:
Mar 14, 2012 1:38:58 PM org.jboss.as.quickstarts.jms.HelloWorldJMSClient main
INFO: Attempting to acquire connection factory "jms/RemoteConnectionFactory"

INFO: Received message with content Hello, World!
Note: After the above INFO message, you may see the following error. You can ignore the error as it is a well known error message and does not indicate the maven command was unsuccessful in any way.

| uint32_t | dCSWSignature |
| uint32_t | dCSWTag |
| uint32_t | dCSWDataResidue |
| uint8_t | bCSWStatus |
This structure is used to access the Command Block wrapper (CBW) data structure that is used when the communicating with the mass storage class device.
This structure encapsulates the Command Status Word (CSW) structure that is sent in response to all CBW commands.
| uint8_t USBLIB_PACKED::bCBWLUN |
The device Logical Unit Number (LUN) to which the command block is being sent. For devices that support multiple LUNs, the host shall place into this field the LUN to which this command block is addressed. Otherwise, the host shall set this field to zero.
The valid length of the CBWCB in bytes. This defines the valid length of the command block. The only legal values are 1 through 16. All other values are reserved.
| uint8_t USBLIB_PACKED::bCSWStatus |
The bCSWStatus field indicates the success or failure of the command. The device shall set this byte to zero if the command completed successfully. A non-zero value shall indicate a failure during command execution.
| uint8_t USBLIB_PACKED::bmCBWFlags |
The device will ignore these bits if the dCBWDataTransferLength value is set to 0.
The bits of this field are defined as follows: Bit 7 Direction 0 = Data-Out from host to the device, 1 = Data-In from the device to the host. Bit 6 Obsolete - The host shall set this bit to zero. Bits 5..0 Reserved - the host shall set these bits to zero.
| uint8_t USBLIB_PACKED::CBWCB[16] |
This array holds the command block to be executed by the device. The MSC device will interpret the first bCBWCBLength bytes in this field as a command block as defined by the command set identified by bInterfaceSubClass. If the command set supported by the device uses command blocks of fewer than 16 bytes in length, the significant bytes shall be transferred first, beginning with the byte at offset 15. The device will ignore the content of the CBWCB field past the byte at offset (15 + bCBWCBLength - 1).
| uint32_t USBLIB_PACKED::dCBWDataTransferLength |
The number of bytes of data that the host expects to transfer on the Bulk-In or Bulk-Out endpoint (as indicated by the Direction bit) during the execution of this command. If this field is zero, the device and the host will not transfer data between the CBW and the associated CSW, and the device will ignore the value of the Direction bit in bmCBWFlags.
| uint32_t USBLIB_PACKED::dCBWSignature |
Signature that helps identify this data packet as a CBW. The signature field shall contain the value 0x43425355 (little endian), indicating a CBW.
| uint32_t USBLIB_PACKED::dCBWTag |
The Command Block Tag sent by the host controller. The device shall echo the contents of this field back to the host in the dCSWTag field of the associated CSW. The dCSWTag positively associates a CSW with the corresponding CBW.
| uint32_t USBLIB_PACKED::dCSWDataResidue |
For OUT transactions the device will fill the dCSWDataResidue field with the difference between the amount of data expected as stated in the dCBWDataTransferLength, and the actual amount of data processed by the device. For IN transactions the device will fill the dCSWDataResidue field with the difference between the amount of data expected as stated in the dCBWDataTransferLength and the actual amount of relevant data sent by the device. The dCSWDataResidue will not exceed the value sent in the dCBWDataTransferLength.
| uint32_t USBLIB_PACKED::dCSWSignature |
Signature that identifies this data packet as a CSW. The signature field must contain the value 53425355h (little endian) to indicate CSW.
| uint32_t USBLIB_PACKED::dCSWTag |
The device will set this field to the value received in the dCBWTag of the associated CBW.


Javet Design¶
Architecture¶
Primitive and Reference Types in Javet¶
There is a vague boundary between V8 primitive and reference types. In Javet, the definition of primitive is a mixture of both V8 and Java primitive types as a trade-off in design.
Feature |
Primitive |
Reference |
|---|---|---|
Interception |
No |
Yes |
Memory Copy |
Copy by Value |
Copy by Reference |
Resource Leak |
Not Possible |
Possible |
Set to Weak |
No |
Yes |
Reference typed objects keep memory footprint in V8 + JNI + JVM. All resource will be recycled when close()
is called. That is quite an old school way of managing resource. Javet tries to hide that kind of tedious work from Java applications via try-with-resource.
Please refer to Best Practices for detail.
Node.js Mode vs. V8 Mode¶
Javet supports both Node.js mode and V8 mode both of which can co-exist in one JVM. In other words, they can run side by side and don't interfere with each other.
As the diagram shows, both Node.js and V8 are lazy loaded in dedicated custom classloaders. Detailed comparisons are as following.
Feature |
Node.js Mode |
V8 Mode |
|---|---|---|
Lazy Loadable |

Complete |
No |
Security |
Low |
High |
Unload |
Yes |
Yes |
V8 Ecosystem |
Complete |
Complete |
V8 Version |
Low |
High |
One of the beauties of Javet is all the features in V8 mode can be applied to Node.js mode. Here are some examples.
Virtualization - All Node.js modules can be virtualized. E.g.
console
,fs
,HTTP
,Net
,OS
, etc.Zero-copy - JVM can share the same byte buffer with Node.js and V8 to achieve zero-copy.
Multi-threading - Multiple Java threads can host multiple Node.js runtime instances with only one copy of V8 objects visible to those instances.
Beyond Node.js - Javet allows explicit
await()
so that applications can take more control overasync
execution.
Module¶
Executing all scripts in global context is not recommended when project size increases. Javet provides complete support to applications so that V8 runtime context is aligned with the way Node or Chrome does. That brings the module system.
Unfortunately, V8 has very limited support to the JS module system. However, that is not bad because V8 leaves all the possibilities to Javet. The typical challenges Javet faces are as following.
Sync or Async
Module Location
Module Dependency
require() vs. import()¶
Feature |
Async |
Original V8 |
Javet Node.js Mode |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
No |
No |
Yes (Complete) |
Yes (with an Interceptor) |
|
Yes |
Yes (Partial) |
Yes (Complete) |
Yes (Complete) |
Module Virtualization¶
Javet doesn't build require()
in but allows applications to set an interceptor because Javet doesn't know how to locate the modules and doesn't want to know for security issues. So it's up to the applications to define their own ways of locating the modules.
Javet provides complete support to ES6 import()
because certain work inside JNI has to be in place as V8 only partially supports import()
. So, in Javet the module is kind of virtualized, in other words, the module is represented by an arbitrary string that can be interpreted by applications during runtime. E.g. module.js
may come from a file, a URL, a string in memory or whatever. Javet stores the compiled and evaluated module in a map with that string as key, and feeds V8 that module when V8 looks it up by that string.
Engine Pool¶
V8 Isolate and Context in Javet¶
Getting started with embedding V8 is an excellent article that explains the concepts, design, insights of V8. In summary:
An isolate is a VM instance with its own heap.
A context is an execution environment that allows separate, unrelated, JavaScript applications to run in a single instance of V8.
In Javet, that model is simplified to 1 engine - 1 runtime - 1 isolate - 1 context. In V8Runtime, resetIsolate()
and resetContext()
are both exposed. It is recommended to always use resetContext()
to get a brand new V8 context for the following reasons.
resetContext()
is a much cheaper operation with much better performance.resetContext()
is good enough in terms of getting a brand new V8 context.
Javet Engine Pool¶
Multiple Javet engines are managed by Javet Engine Pool which works almost the same way as a typical DB connection pool. Javet Engine Pool is thread-safe. However, Javet Engine is NOT thread-safe because it is designed to be single-threaded and lock free for the following reasons.
V8 isolate and V8 context are single-threaded. Thread context violation results in V8 core dump immediately.
Javet Engine performs better without locks. Actually, Javet engine only validates current thread ID to minimize the performance overhead.
Please refer to Best Practices for detail.
Interception¶
Javet allows intercepting almost all V8 API so that JS code actually interacts with Java code behind the scene.
Sample code is available at V8 Function.
Cross-platform¶
Javet packages all the libraries in a single jar file and automatically loads corresponding library per OS and JS runtime.
Javet calculates the library file name from OS and JS runtime.
Javet unpacks the library files from resource directory to
system_temporary_directory/javet/pid
.Javet loads the library files using either default classloader or custom classloader.
Multi-process Safety¶
Javet is multi-process safe because it deploys the library files to system_temporary_directory/javet/pid
to avoid race conditions during initialization. Also, Javet purges legacy libraries (at least 1 minute old) at the beginning of the initialization.
Memory Leak Detection¶
Javet native library keeps track of every new
and delete
in JavetNativeMonitor
. Javet every unit test case fetches the tracking data, compares the new
and delete
count to verify unmanaged objects are properly allocated and freed.
This feature is only turned on in debug version and there is zero performance overhead in release version.


Hi! I'm Matthew, and I am a current junior undergraduate student at the University of California, Berkeley studying computer science. I'm interested in both software engineering and data science, and I love seeing how computer science can impact our daily lives and help others in need. In my free time, I enjoy teaching and volunteering, watching the NBA and NHL (Go Warriors and Sharks!), finding new music, playing the bass, and traveling. Right now, I'm trying to teach myself how to shoot DSLR photography because I'm fascinated by the narratives and stories that are told through photos, capturing and preserving moments in time.
- Utilized Python and Apache Spark on Sandia's High Performance Data Analytics clusters to scale up distributed data processing on machine learning tasks and demonstrate big data applications for new users
- Built a convolutional neural network classifier for deep learning on tens of thousands of seismic records to distinguish earthquakes from man-made quarry blasts and gain actionable insights for future inferences. Achieved 97% accuracy using Spark and Keras leveraging multiple GPUs for training and parallelizing evaluations for new inferences
- Wrote tutorials and guides to introduce new users to machine learning workflows using Spark and Keras on Sandia’s data analytics clusters, including setting up Spark, configuring virtual environments for both CPU and GPU architectures, distributing work, and monitoring job status
During my summer in 2018, I got the amazing opportunity to work for Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore, CA, as part of their Computation division. As part of my internship, I installed and configured my own high performance computing clusters, and then I learned how to automate the entire process using Ansible. Additionally, I worked with a group of four on expanding a suite of Python scripts based off of the open source Pyvmomi API for virtual machine automation and orchestration. Our software is used throughout Livermore Computing and the Systems Administration Group at the lab, and we improved efficiency by eliminating the need to do tasks through VMware’s ESXi GUI.
Work in progress - Come back soon!

Getting upwind of Rudolph
Jack Dikian of Mosman writes: "For those younger readers who might be wondering if, when Santa sets off from the North Pole this Christmas Eve, flying carbon-neutral will be high on his wish list, the Regional Council of Lapland has 'made vital, environmental investments in the age-old practices of reindeer herding to help control the release of harmful greenhouse gases.' Just don’t ask how."
"I have just received a Christmas card from the local funeral director," says David Tarran of Thornleigh. "This is the first time I have received a card from them. Do they know something I don’t know?"
 Trouble is, he's as limp as boiled spinach. Being on his own, I'd say his reindeer let him down."
In the hope that our current dry spell isn’t the beginning of the end, Manbir Singh Kohli of Pemulwuy writes: “This question has been troubling my innards in this drought. Does toilet paper have a wider water impact compared to the lowly bidet? Perhaps the collective wisdom of C8 will help enlighten me.”
"I apologise for my tardiness in submitting this comment, but I save up my Column 8s to read in one sitting, so some of them are a week or so old," explains Sue Davis of Wamberal. "I have a butcher bird (C8) in my garden who sometimes sings the first line of Old MacDonald Had a Farm. He doesn't do the 'e i e i o' though. Maybe that's just too difficult."
"The smallest inhabited island in Moreton Bay is Karragarra Island where one of Australia's first driverless buses is being trialled," advises Gregory Abbott of Macleay Island (Qld). "First report is that the bus is so friendly it stopped for a leaf and for a butterfly." Must be the sensitive type.
Now a question for those seeking change from Tim Royle of Chatswood: “I keep finding small collections of foreign coins in numerous offshore currencies as a result of both my business and personal travel. Instead of giving to an offshore organisation, I would prefer an Australian-approved charity. So I ask C8 to nominate a qualified Australian charity who will accept my load of assorted foreign coinage. My first choices would be the NSW drought or bushfire-affected areas.”

Morning Glory (Heavenly Blue) & Mushrooms - P. ovoideocystidiata
This is an account of a mixture between Psilocybe ovoideocystidiata mushrooms and Morning Glory seeds 'Heavenly Blue variety.'
Dose:
10 small to medium sized caps and stems of mushrooms
6 grams of Morning Glory seeds
Mindset:
Depressed due to recent relationship problems with my girlfriend. I haven't been able to speak with her for a week, and it seems as though there might be an end to what I thought could have lasted a lifetime. I also relapsed with Opioids (Heroin) and binged for about two weeks prior to this experiment, though I had been back on Suboxone for four days up to and including the day of the experience.
Background:
I have been hanging out with one of my best friends 'Je' for a while now since he has been in almost the exact same situation that I've been in, in regards to relationships and drugs. We've been there to help each other through it because we feel that we really have no one else that understands our situation as well. Plus, we both connect on an extremely intellectual level being that we both share a love of psychology and philosophy. In fact, he actually accomplished a bachelors degree in psychology.
Being that we are both very intelligent people, it is sad that our lives have been rather uneventful due to my persisting neurological disorder (Tourette's Syndrome, which is combined with Attention Deficit Disorder and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) and his diagnosis of Psychosis of the Schizophrenia type with complex fantasy/reality distortions and paranoid delusions as well as our drug dependencies. These elements that we've been dealt have kept us from experiencing some of the better aspects of life, but we do not intend to use any of it as an excuse to continue our neurotic behavior. I believe both of us would like to enter the career field and possibly have families some day. In the mean time, entheogens are a passion of ours that seems to help guide us through our ailments.
I also wanted to mention that excessive abuse of LSD was actually a part of 'Je's' psychotic break, but his condition has improved extensively over the years since, and he is now well enough to explore the healing properties of entheogenic drugs. He just has to be careful which substances he choses to use and have the proper dose, setting, and purpose.
Here's Tom with the Weather:
After ingesting the chosen entheogens at a park up the street from where I live, I had to walk back down to my house to gather a few things for the hike we were about to take. Unlike 'J' (my other best friend which is the second half of plenty of my other trip reports), and I hiking throughout the lake woods around the area, 'Je' and I decided to hike down into 'The Hollow,' a place in the woods around here where we all grew up. It stores most of the woodland beauty around my area apart from W.V. because of how old it is. There is plenty of plant and animal life that seems only to be found in these woods when it comes to the little town I dwell in.
I had already received my first signs of effect, as it took me a minute at my house, and I started getting really anxious. My house was starting to swirl, and I know my pupils were dilated. My Mother even mentioned something. 'You are acting peculiar,' she said as I walked out the door. My Dad was in the kitchen, so I just whispered to her, 'mushrooms.' I was given the 'Oh, I understand' kind of look, even though my Mom has never used drugs. She knows me too well.
I met 'Je' half way up the street, and he seemed quite anxious and frustrated. He wanted to talk about his girlfriend problem, which was completely fine. However, he was worrying a little too much about the situation to have a remotely comfortable experience, so I suggested a different conversation for the time being. I gave him a little bit of advice, and we were off into the woods.
I was feeling extremely introverted, so I wasn't talking much at all, and that was clashing with 'Je's' normally extroverted personality. Even though we have both been very depressed lately, we deal with it in different ways when it comes to social conduct. I talk about my problems when I feel it is necessary or if they are bothering me that bad, where as 'Je' is very open with me about how he feels at all times. This created a wedge in our experience for a minute, but we got it straightened out. I had to explain to him that I was feeling really 'in tune' with nature, and that I was having an Inner Spirit type of experience. Things were starting to get a little wild.
I could see that the trees were whirling around in a nonexistent wind, and everything just seemed so surreal. I was at the point where I was having very normal lower to moderate dose Psilocybe-style patterning, and things were starting to get a little intense. We found ourselves a nice spot to relax in the woods, and I laid down with my head rested on my backpack. I told 'Je' that at the peak of my experiences, I enjoy being quiet and embracing the experience with my eyes closed. So, we both did so. The CEV's were as if I was staring at an endless, still body of water, but there were these huge drops of multicolored rain splashing against the surface. 'Je' reported seeing the same type of imagery.
What was strange though, is that the patterning did not seem to change. Something was holding my imagination back. My depression and thoughts of my current relationship problems were weighing in on my subconscious mind, so I chose to grab the portable CD player from my backpack, where I proceeded to listen to Enigma's 'Voices in the Dark.' All of a sudden, the visuals became much more intricate. There were native patterns of totems, pieces of wood morphing into eagles, snakes, and other animals, as well as sun patterns and other Earthly figures. I expressed to 'Je' that it was odd how music amplifies the imagination to the extent that it does. He agreed. At that point, he was enjoying watching the smoke rise from the Tobacco he was smoking.
Then, out of the blue, something came to me. The Morning Glory's must have peaked at that moment because what happened was much more Mescaline-like. I was no longer in my body. I had escaped my reality and became enveloped in the visuals, but there was a presence there that I could not see. In a clear voice, it told me something that I was not soon to forget. It simply stated, 'Nature, will either heal or kill you.' I snapped out of this state and told 'Je' about it. He thought it was wild, and we proceeded to listen to a couple different songs before setting off for the rest of our hike.
At this point, I noticed that 'Je' was very restless. He expressed to me that he doesn't feel comfortable unless he is doing something. Laying there relaxing wasn't keeping him satisfied for long. We talked about this aspect of his personality and the anxiety that he goes through. Again, the conversation came back to his girlfriend problems. He was still dwelling on it, so we took off for another adventure.
As we walked, I was still quiet, having an inner experience. I was thinking about the vision I just had, what was spoken to me, and if there was any possible meaning behind it. At first, my thoughts were very basic. Of course, there are things in nature that can heal the mind and spirit such as herbs, entheogens and therapy, things that heal the body such as pharmaceutical drugs and physical therapy, and there are toxic and poisonous things as well as natural disasters and accidents.
Next, I went on to thinking about drugs. Again, you have the healing ones including cancer drugs and substances that treat the many other dangerous conditions, and then you have the potentially destructive, addictive ones such as Heroin, Cocaine, and Amphetamines.
Then, I moved on to relationships. Friendships can go either way, but I was particularly thinking about my mate. I have a chance to find that right person that completes the part of me that would be quite lonely without it, hence healing my empty heart, or I can find the wrong ones that damage my heart. This has alot to do with why I chose this experience in the first place. I began to see very clearly the problematic relationship I have with 'A,' the girl I had been dating for the past two years. I'll continue that topic in a separate paragraph.
The last line of this thought is what I believe to be the true meaning of the vision. What was actually said to me is that 'Nature will (not can) heal you or kill you.' God is at the end of this because He will either heal you or kill you in the end. Again, these are my opinions and beliefs. I do not want to offend anyone. I am very non-judgmental. I respect you just as much whether you believe in God, nature, or nothing at all, even though I will argue that believing in nothing at all is still believing in something. This was all very interesting and unexpected.
Still hiking the path, we found yet another very nice spot to sit down at and relax again. This area was a little different though. There were paths going in different directions, but right between the trails, there was a patch of ground that looked really old. It was moss covered, and there was an old rotted log in the middle of it. This log was very interesting. The inside was deep, crimson red, and I believe it is the type of wood that turns to sandstone over time.
After I put on some old King Crimson, 'Je' prompted me to come check out a millipede he found in the wood he was still browsing through. I wish I had a camera at this point. This thing was close to six inches long and had hundreds of thin, bright red legs and a hard, gray outer shell for a body. It rapped itself tightly around the stick I lightly prodded it with, and its legs looked really wild as they moved in motion with its body coiling into a defensive position. I soon backed away as I also saw hundreds of ants crawling out of the log. I didn't feel like picking fire ants off of me whilst in the midst of a psychedelic experiment. Brushing my arm against the Stinging Nettle earlier on was enough for me.
The next beautiful creature we came across was actually a spider. 'Je' spotted the web, and I came over to check it out. What was odd about this particular web was that it was horizontal like a plate sitting between tree branches. Naturally, I looked for the spider and sure enough, he was right there in the center of the web. As I looked around and investigated the web a little more, I noticed that it was three dimensional. I was in awe. It was actually shaped like a diamond. Down from the top part of the first intricate design was a triangular shaped webbing that extended below into a point underneath, connecting with another tree branch. Even more spectacular was the neon green spider lurking in the dead center of the 'plate' with swirled yellow markings on its back. I have seen those millipedes before, but never have I saw this species of spider nor the type of web it had constructed.
This was about the time when we decided to start on our journey back. I wanted to mention that I had thought a great deal about my 'girlfriend' situation, and I was seeing things very clearly for the first time in a while. I really don't know how things are going to turn out in the end, but this experience helped me to let go of the fact that she had been ignoring me. I was beginning to understand things and see them for what they are and 'Je' expressed the same concerning his situation.
All I know is that a huge weight had been lifted from our shoulders, and our depression seemed to dissipate at least for the moment. 'Je' seemed to have had somewhat of an introspective experience, learning a little bit about himself, and that is a very good step for him. This will certainly not be the last adventure I have with him this summer. I hope to try 2C-E with him in the future, as I can see that it would be the perfect psychedelic for the way our personalities fit as friends, and I feel that it would bring us to a greater understanding of ourselves and each other. For now, this was a wonderful experience.

In a previous blog post, I’d described how instance NUMA topologies and CPU pinning worked in the OpenStack Compute service (nova). Starting with the 20.0.0 (Train) release, things have changed somewhat. This post serves to explain how things have changed and what impact that will have on a typical deployment.
The pre-Train world
As noted previously, a NUMA topology could be added to an instance either
explicitly, using the hw:numa_nodes=N
flavor extra spec, or implicitly, by
requesting a specific mempage size (hw:mem_page_size=N
) or CPU pinning
(hw:cpu_policy=dedicated
). For historical reasons, it is not possible to
request memory pages or CPU pinning without getting a NUMA topology meaning
every pinned instance or instance with hugepages (common when using something
like Open vSwitch with DPDK) has a NUMA topology associated with it.
The presence of a NUMA topology implies a couple of things. The most beneficial of them is that each instance NUMA node is mapped to a unique host NUMA node and will only consume CPUs and RAM from that host node. The NUMA topology of the instance is exposed to the guest OS meaning well engineered applications running in the guest OS are able to able to tune themselves for this topology and avoid cross-NUMA node memory accesses and the performance penalties these brings. Unfortunately, there have also been some downsides, of which two were rather significant. The most impactful of these was the inability to correctly live migrate such instances, as noted in bug #1417667. In short, that bug noted that nova was not recalculating any of its CPU or mempage pinning information on a migration, resulting in a failure to live migrate to hosts with different NUMA topologies or, worse, individual instance NUMA nodes being spread across multiple NUMA nodes or the pinned CPUs of pinned instances overlapping with those of other pinned instances. The other issue stemmed from nova’s schizophrenic model for tracking resource utilization, where it used different models for tracking pinned CPUs from unpinned or “floating” CPUs, along with different models for tracking standard memory from explicit small and huge page requests. Combined, these led to a scenario where operators had to divide their datacenters up into host aggregates in order to separate normal, unpinned instances from both pinned instances and unpinned instances with a NUMA topology.
Train to the rescue
Train changes things. Not only does it resolve the live migration issue through
the completion of the NUMA-aware live migration spec but it introduces an
entirely new model for tracking CPU resources that prevents the need to
shard your datacenter using host aggregates. This is made possible by the
reporting of a new resource type, PCPU
, for host CPUs intended to host pinned
instance CPUs. This is described in the Train release notes.
Compute nodes using the libvirt driver can now report
PCPU
inventory. This is consumed by instances with dedicated (pinned) CPUs. This can be configured using the[compute] cpu_dedicated_set
config option. The scheduler will automatically translate the legacyhw:cpu_policy
flavor extra spec orhw_cpu_policy
image metadata property toPCPU
requests, falling back toVCPU
requests only if noPCPU
candidates are found. Refer to the help text of the[compute] cpu_dedicated_set
,[compute] cpu_shared_set
andvcpu_pin_set
config options for more information.
We’ll explore how this manifests itself in a bit, but before that we should
look at how one can migrate from an existing pre-Train deployment using
[DEFAULT] vcpu_pin_set
(or not using it, as the case may be) to these new
configuration options.
Migrating to Train
The migration from Stein to Train is tricky. In short, we need to migrate from
[DEFAULT] vcpu_pin_set
to a combination of [compute] cpu_shared_set
and
[compute] cpu_dedicated_set
and unset [DEFAULT] reserved_host_cpus
. How you
do this is touched upon in the help text for the [DEFAULT] vcpu_pin_set
,
[compute] cpu_shared_set
and [compute] cpu_dedicated_set
options.
As always, a diagram will help:
Once this migration is complete, restarting the nova-compute
service will
result in nova automatically “reshaping” the inventory for the compute node
stored in placement. Any host CPUs listed in the [compute] cpu_shared_set
config option will continue to be reported as VCPU
inventory, but host CPUs
listed in the [compute] cpu_dedicated_set
config option will be reported as
PCU
inventory.
Examples
Let’s look at some examples of how this would be reflected in the real world. For all these examples, consider a host with two sockets and two CPUs with four cores and no hyperthreading (so eight CPUs).
Hosts with unpinned workloads
If your host is only intended for unpinned workloads, you don’t need to do
anything! If neither [compute] cpu_shared_set
nor [compute] cpu_dedicated_set
are configured, the former will default to all host cores.
We can see this in practice by examining the placement records for the given compute node. For example:
$ openstack --os-placement-api-version 1.18 resource provider inventory show \
6a969900-bbf7-4725-959b-2db3092933b0 VCPU
+------------------+-------+
| Field | Value |
+------------------+-------+
| allocation_ratio | 16.0 |
| max_unit | 8 |
| reserved | 0 |
| step_size | 1 |
| min_unit | 1 |
| total | 8 |
+------------------+-------+
$ openstack --os-placement-api-version 1.18 resource provider inventory show \
6a969900-bbf7-4725-959b-2db3092933b0 PCPU
Optionally, we might decide to exclude a certain number of cores, perhaps
setting aside some for the host. For example, to reserve core 0 from each host
NUMA node for the host, configure the following in nova.conf
:
[compute]
cpu_shared_set = 1-3,5-7
If we now query placement again, we’ll see the number of available VCPU
inventory has dropped.
$ openstack --os-placement-api-version 1.18 resource provider inventory show \
6a969900-bbf7-4725-959b-2db3092933b0 VCPU
+------------------+-------+
| Field | Value |
+------------------+-------+
| allocation_ratio | 16.0 |
| max_unit | 6 |
| reserved | 0 |
| step_size | 1 |
| min_unit | 1 |
| total | 6 |
+------------------+-------+
$ openstack --os-placement-api-version 1.18 resource provider inventory show \
6a969900-bbf7-4725-959b-2db3092933b0 PCPU
Hosts with pinned workloads
Next, let’s consider a host that’s only intended for pinned workloads.
Previously, we highly recommended configuring [DEFAULT] vcpu_pin_set
as not
setting this could result in impacted performance for some workloads due to
contention from the host. The new [compute] cpu_dedicated_set
option is
mandatory because, as noted above, not configuring any option will result in
all host cores being reported as VCPU
inventory. Let’s once again reserve
core 0 from each host NUMA node for the host by configuring our nova.conf
like so:
[compute]
cpu_dedicated_set = 1-3,5-7
If we query placement, we’ll no longer see VCPU
inventory but rather PCPU
inventory.
$ openstack --os-placement-api-version 1.18 resource provider inventory show \
6a969900-bbf7-4725-959b-2db3092933b0 VCPU
$ openstack --os-placement-api-version 1.18 resource provider inventory show \
6a969900-bbf7-4725-959b-2db3092933b0 PCPU
+------------------+-------+
| Field | Value |
+------------------+-------+
| allocation_ratio | 1.0 |
| max_unit | 6 |
| reserved | 0 |
| step_size | 1 |
| min_unit | 1 |
| total | 6 |
+------------------+-------+
Hosts with mixed pinned and unpinned workloads
Finally, let’s consider a host with both pinned and unpinned workloads. As
discussed earlier, this was not previously possible. To do this, we must simple
configure both [compute] cpu_shared_set
and [compute] cpu_dedicated_set
on
the host. Given that we have two host NUMA nodes with for cores per node, let’s
reserve two cores from each node for both pinned and unpinned workloads by
configuring our nova.conf
like so:
[compute]
cpu_shared_set = 0,1,4,5
cpu_dedicated_set = 2,3,6,7
If we query placement, we’ll now see both VCPU
and PCPU
inventory reported
alongside each other.
$ openstack --os-placement-api-version 1.18 resource provider inventory show \
6a969900-bbf7-4725-959b-2db3092933b0 VCPU
+------------------+-------+
| Field | Value |
+------------------+-------+
| allocation_ratio | 16.0 |
| max_unit | 4 |
| reserved | 0 |
| step_size | 1 |
| min_unit | 1 |
| total | 4 |
+------------------+-------+
$ openstack --os-placement-api-version 1.18 resource provider inventory show \
6a969900-bbf7-4725-959b-2db3092933b0 PCPU
+------------------+-------+
| Field | Value |
+------------------+-------+
| allocation_ratio | 1.0 |
| max_unit | 4 |
| reserved | 0 |
| step_size | 1 |
| min_unit | 1 |
| total | 4 |
+------------------+-------+
Summary
The ability to place both pinned and unpinned instances on the same compute node should lead to higher resource utilization and avoid the need to shard your compute, both of which are very useful features for smaller deployments.

Mario Kart Racing merch available on Zavvi for one week only
Zavvi has its own range of Mario Kart clothing, memorabilia, and metal number plates – but only for seven days and counting.
Did you know Zavvi has an exclusive deal with Nintendo to make limited edition apparel based on its most famous games? We know we didn’t, but they’ve actually got a really nice range of T-shirts and tops based on Super Mario, The Legend Of Zelda, and Luigi’s Mansion 3.
The Super Mario ones all seem to be sold out and the Mario Kart Racing ones are guaranteed to be joining them soon… because they’re only going to be on sale for seven days.
The range launched on Sunday, 24 November and will end this weekend, presumably never to be seen again – there’s even a countdown timer on the website.
Why they’d want to limit something like that we don’t know but then Nintendo themselves can be very funny about their merchandise and things like the pop-up Pokémon Center in London that disappeared the moment Pokémon Sword and Shield was released.
Advertisement Advertisement
There are 25 items in the Mario Kart range, which includes T-Shirts, sweatshirts, and hoodies, but also caps, mugs, and extra limited edition (with only 100 of each design) metal number plates.
Whether these items are being made available anywhere else in the world we’re not sure, but you’d have to assume so given a fair amount of effort seems to have been expended here, even just counting the Mario Kart Racing branding.
It all seems to be part of Nintendo’s ongoing attempt to make use of its characters outside of just video games, including a theme park and new dedicated store in Japan.
