Woman spots very x-rated detail in church's window featuring Jesus and Mary
The people of social media have been left stunned by a rather unfortunate design flaw on a colourful church window featuring Mary and Jesus
by Courtney Pochin, https://www.facebook.com/courtneypochinmirror/?modal=admin_todo_tourWhen in a place of worship, you wouldn't be surprised to see artwork depicting stories from the bible on the windows.
But one woman did get a big surprise recently, after noticing something wasn't quite right about a church window depicting Jesus and Mary.
The woman, named Rosie, took to social media to share her discovery and ask fellow users if they were seeing what she was seeing on the glass.
In a post on Twitter , Rosie shared a snap, which looks a lot like a reimagining of Michelangelo's The Pietà statue (1498/99) which shows Mary cradling her son Jesus in her lap after the crucifixion.
She captioned the tweet: "What, exactly... is Mary holding??"
Her confusion is caused by a rather unfortunate design error the artist made when adding colour to Jesus' leg.
In attempt to give the piece a little definition, the top of his inner thigh was made a darker colour - but people think the way it was done makes the whole thing look rather x-rated.
The post went viral, garnering over 1,000 retweets and hundreds of comments.
One person said: "You can’t spell resurrection without... erm... urrection."
Another joked: "The second coming?"
A third person wrote: "Oh dear. Unfortunate. Divine sausage."
Someone else added: "It's a holy phalice... I mean chalice."
Rosie's photo inspired others to share the rude things they'd seen on church windows.
A user named Will shared a photo from his local church which depicted John the Baptist.
He said: "What's John the Baptist up to here!"
In the image John was stood in water, with a man kneeling in front of him.

Reserved seats
While, 28 seats have been reserved for Scheduled Tribes (STs), nine have been reserved for Scheduled Castes (SCs)
Voters and polling
According to data released by EC, Jharkhand has a total of 2.26 crore eligible voters. Out of these, 41,336 are service voters.
The number of polling stations that will be used by voters across the state is 29,464. This number is 19 percent higher than in 2014.
To encourage greater constructive participation of women in the electoral process, EC has directed that at least one polling station will be managed exclusively by women in every Assembly constituency. In such stations, all election staff, including security personnel, will be women.
EC has confirmed that Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail (VVPATs) will be used in this election.
Lowdown on the political situation
Chief Minister Raghubar Das-led Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is hoping to retain power in the state. BJP is widely expected to contest the election in an alliance with the All Jharkhand Students Union (AJSU).
The BJP-AJSU alliance is being challenged by Opposition parties such as former chief ministers Shibu Soren and Hemant Soren’s Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), the Indian National Congress and the Jharkhand Vikas Morcha (Prajatantrik) (JVM-P). The three parties had contested the 2019 Lok Sabha election in an alliance and are expected to fight in this formation again, with the possibility of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) joining hands.
BJP’s ally in Bihar, the Janata Dal (United), has said that it will contest all 81 seats alone.
No alliance has declared their seat-sharing formula so far.
After witnessing below-expectation Assembly election results in Haryana and Maharashtra in October, the BJP is recalibrating its strategy. Many factors that came into play in Haryana and Maharashtra could may play a key role in Jharkhand too.

If You Go Chasing Rabbits...
This is a journal entry I wrote the day after my boyfriend had a seizure in the middle of what was supposed to be a Christmas party. I didn't know until afterwards that he had taken four hits of the acid (which was very strong), and I had never seen cocaine before. We got it from some cokehead friends and followed their advice on how much to do, which in retrospect wasn't exactly a good idea.
What I wrote the next morning (names have been changed to protect the guilty):
Last night could very well have been the most terrifying experience in my life, and if not, it was definitely in the top five.
Jay had a seizure and ended up in the hospital.
I was right next to him when it happened. He suddenly looked blank and... weird. I asked him if he was okay, and he said no and started to shake. I didn't quite manage to catch him fast enough to stop him from falling, but I think I at least kept him from hitting his head as hard as he would have otherwise. Someone managed to call an ambulance quickly, and then I was trying to keep him on his side. Luckily, I had recently read some information on seizures. Crazy coincidence.
Anyway, when he came to, he was totally disoriented. He didn't know what had happened, and he didn't even know his own name. For a while he couldn't even speak or respond to us, and when Forrest told him to blink once, it looked like he was trying to, but he couldn't.
The paramedics brought him out to the ambulance on a stretcher with a collar to keep his neck from moving in case it was hurt (they had to cut off his sweatshirt to get it on).
Police searched the house, but I didn't see it (it happened after we left), and I managed to dispose of the evidence so to speak. I ran into Kei's room and licked up the last line of cocaine.
I didn't get to ride in the ambulance with him, but I rode with his parents to the hospital. (I was with Kei's mother at first, and she was not the least bit comforting. I was sobbing and she didn't say a word about. Nothing. She did tell me that Jay wouldn't be in trouble about the drugs, though, and they would be looking for the dealers instead.) When I finally got in to see him, he was still really disoriented. He later said he was having trouble seeing people's faces, so that would make sense why he mixed me up with his mother a few times, and even with his father and the nurse. He told them his name was Alice when they asked.
I was standing next to him for hours, kissing his face and stroking his cheek, and he was much more relaxed and happy with me there. He kept smiling, which was crazy, but it definitely calmed my nerves and I managed to smile back and keep it positive.
He got caught in a loop at one point. It reminded me of the way people's voices looped in one of my first bad trips, but much much more so, and in a different way. His memory was worse than mine was last time, not just churned but gone in a minute or less. He kept saying 'I love you,' and 'you're so beautiful.' At first just to me, but then to everyone, even the nurse (who was a man). Then he started startling and saying 'OW!', but saying nothing hurt when we asked him, and then sobbing loudly. It was really frightening. (He told me later that he felt pain shooting though his head, and thought or saw something about needles, and somehow that was related to the crying.) He was hitting his legs on the bars of the bed, and would sometimes jolt upright suddenly. We couldn't get him to relax, probably partly because he couldn't remember us telling him that he could come home with us if he relaxed and his blood pressure went down.
The loop he was stuck in was in his head, not outside like it was for me. I heard and saw the same things over and over looping (which is why getting up and moving around helped). He thought and felt and said the same things over and over. After a while he did realize he was repeating himself, and he said 'I must sound like a broken record.'
The loop: first he would say 'I love you,' and 'you're so beautiful,' and 'I love you, baby girl,' to just about anyone.  Then he'd say he wasn't in pain, but he'd burst out crying. We'd calm him down, he'd relax, then he'd say 'I love you' and start the cycle over again. Anyway, he finally went to sleep when we left, and they at least let his father stay sitting just outside the curtain.
I stayed home from work, partly because I was a zombie from staying up all night, partly because I was still nervous and scared, partly because I wanted to wait in his room for him to get home.
We ended up sleeping all day. I don't remember much of my dreams, but I know in one I was trying to go around a narrow balcony to get somewhere. I was holding hands with a line of people, and when someone (him?) spun out of control and fell, we all did. Nobody could keep hold of the balcony. By some miracle, as we were hurtling towards the ground, we stopped and started floating gently. I was telling people that they could fly, and they should keep thinking that it was possible, and that would make it work. We touched ground gently. The only thing that had kept us from hitting the ground was our willpower, and my idea.
I think later in the dream, someone was searching everyone for drugs. I was a ways away, checking my pockets to make sure I didn't have any.  Someone made a comment about how it had been such a wonderful party, clearly sarcastic. Everyone was standing around a table with little squares of assorted cakes, and I was just finishing one and thinking of having another when I woke up.
So Jay is grounded, in a lot of trouble, and his parents want him to never do drugs again. I can see where they're coming from, because he hasn't been very smart about it, but I think it's impossible to get him to do that. It would take a miracle. I'm sure I can get him to cut back and be more careful, and to take a break, but no amount of nagging from his parents or from me will get him to do a 180 degree turn. It's too much to ask for.
I did some google research, and I found out that it was most likely caused by the combination of cocaine and acid and the high dosage. Cocaine-induced seizures can result from concurrent ingestion of other drugs, apparently, so it was probably the four hits of acid that caused it. An empty stomach and dehydration probably also contributed to it. He had only had one bowl of ramen that day.
So that's about it for now. He seems to be doing better, but tired and drained. He's sane, his memory is back, and he of course is not seeing things any more. He's very quiet and didn't protest anything his parents said about having a serious talk about his lifestyle, or about being grounded, or about giving his credit card back to them.
Uhm... Jay is asleep, and so deeply that he might not wake up when I go in and get into bed. I woke him up to tell him about what I had found out on google, and he was barely awake enough to understand that, and he fell back asleep pretty much the second I stopped talking to him.
-------
So, that happened about one year ago, and now I have decided to go straight. 100% straight as a razor. There were many other contributing factors, but this was one of the biggest ones. Jay kept getting himself hospitalized time and time again, each time for different reasons. Most recently, he took bad acid and it made him think he was having a heart attack. He called me at 3:00 am to say 'I think I'm having a heart attack, and I'm going to the hospital. I just wanted to call to say I love you.' I'm amazed at how long it took before I decided to stop doing acid.

Next.js compiles CSS for its built-in CSS support using PostCSS.
Out of the box, with no configuration, Next.js compiles CSS with the following transformations:
By default, CSS Grid and Custom Properties (CSS variables) are not compiled for IE11 support.
To compile CSS Grid Layout for IE11, you can place the following comment at the top of your CSS file:
You can also enable IE11 support for CSS Grid Layout in your entire project by configuring autoprefixer with the configuration shown below (collapsed). See “Customizing Plugins” below for more information.
Click to view the configuration to enable CSS Grid Layout
CSS variables are not compiled because it is not possible to safely do so. If you must use variables, consider using something like Sass variables which are compiled away by Sass.
Next.js allows you to configure the target browsers (for Autoprefixer and compiled css features) through Browserslist.
To customize browserslist, create a browserslist
key in your package.json
like so:
You can use the browserl.ist tool to visualize what browsers you are targeting.
No configuration is needed to support CSS Modules. To enable CSS Modules for a file, rename the file to have the extension .module.css
.
You can learn more about Next.js’ CSS Module support here.
Warning: When you define a custom PostCSS configuration file, Next.js completely disables the default behavior. Be sure to manually configure all the features you need compiled, including Autoprefixer. You also need to install any plugins included in your custom configuration manually, i.e.
npm install postcss-flexbugs-fixes postcss-preset-env
.
To customize the PostCSS configuration, create a postcss.config.json
file in the root of your project.
This is the default configuration used by Next.js:
{
"plugins": [
"postcss-flexbugs-fixes",
[
"postcss-preset-env",
{
"autoprefixer": {
"flexbox": "no-2009"
},
"stage": 3,
"features": {
"custom-properties": false
}
}
]
]
}
Note: Next.js also allows the file to be named
.postcssrc.json
, or, to be read from thepostcss
key inpackage.json
.
It is also possible to configure PostCSS with a postcss.config.js
file, which is useful when you want to conditionally include plugins based on environment:
module.exports = {
plugins:
process.env.NODE_ENV === "production"
? [
"postcss-flexbugs-fixes",
[
"postcss-preset-env",
{
autoprefixer: {
flexbox: "no-2009",
},
stage: 3,
features: {
"custom-properties": false,
},
},
],
]
: [
// No transformations in development
],
};
Note: Next.js also allows the file to be named
.postcssrc.js
.
Do not use require()
to import the PostCSS Plugins. Plugins must be provided as strings.
Note: If your
postcss.config.js
needs to support other non-Next.js tools in the same project, you must use the interoperable object-based format instead:

The Accelerated Product team - and the Accelerated Product Workshop that builds it - is based on the following four key ideas:
- Work on what matters now
- Test what will matter later
- Commit to team improvement
- Enable organisation-wide adoption
Work on what matters now
Work on what you know is needed more than what you think might be needed. This is described in the ‘Lazy J model’.
In the majority of large projects, around 90% of effort is spent defining, designing and clarifying functionality or requirements that are not well known. That’s pretty obvious. In our work together we will identify work that is in the ‘hump’ - i.e. work that you KNOW needs to be done - and deliver that fast. Reducing the focus on the unknown or unclear at the beginning enables greater focus on getting out a minimum viable product. Once that is done, we can begin to focus on the ‘tail’.
By definition, the work on the tail is where competitive advantage lies. Therefore we want to ensure that we discover the value in the tail as fast as possible.
Test what will matter later
- How do we discover the value? Test what you think will matter before you commit to it. This is described in the IOTA model.
The IOTA model is a tool that is used to refine and validate the goal of a sprint. Central to the IOTA model is an hypothesis concerning customer behaviour. We want to test how we think we can get customers to drive the revenue of our product:
- If we deliver X, then the customer will do Y, which will result in Z for our business. Or, as an example;
- If we enable customers to visualise how much money they have left every month they will respond to offers for savings accounts, which will increase our savings deposits by 2% by the end of the year.
In the Accelerated Product Team workshop we get into working with this model in great detail. However, working and planning in such an agile manner requires trust among team members as well as an insatiable curiosity for what will work best for the customer and the product.
Commit to team improvement
Team improvement is as important as product improvement. This is reflected in the 2 Product Principle. This is stated as:
The Two Product Principle: You always ship twice. Product 1 is the product you develop for your customer. Product 2 is the team itself. Every team is in competition, internally or externally with other teams that better understand how to meet their customer’s needs.
In the APW, we will work through how to identify small opportunities for improvement that are accorded equal importance to functional development within a sprint.
The incredible thing about growing a really high performance team in an organisation is that other teams want to do likewise.
Enable organisation-wide adoption
A high performing team can build a high performing organisation. How to scale success in one team across the organisation is discussed in the APW although a lot of the heavy work is done during the first project. ongoing coaching during this project can help you make the right calls in responding to demand for ‘product acceleration’ across the organisation.


The manga industry has moved online over the last 10 years, but scanlation tech hasn't kept up. Photoshop remains the standard and is quite powerful, but it's also 1) pricey, 2) complicated, and 3) not scanlation-specific. scanlate.io is an attempt to rethink what the process could look like: online, AI-assisted tools, simple enough for anyone to pick up.
It's still very early, but we've got:
What's next:
If you have no previous experience with scanlating, that's fine! We all started somewhere =) Here's an intro to the main roles involved:
Hi! I'm Austin (a.k.a. akrolsmir), leader of Flow Scans. Besides coordinating releases, I can do a decent job of most of the scanlation roles (except redrawing, that's not for mere mortals.)

Although we support Internet Explorer it is highly recommended that you use one of the following browsers.
As an internet application the Technology Explorer uses a lot of JavaScript. Specifically with the new table rendering engine. Larger views such as the page View->Catalog->Tables, will take significantly longer to load in IE (two to ten times as long as Firefox 3). Considerable time has been spent optimizing the table rendering engine for IE and against the architects philosophy a separate table rendering engine has been created specifically for IE. This engine removes some nice to have features available in other browser, significantly improving the rendering time in IE.
The modified rendering engine can be disable by setting the configuration variable IE_SPEED_EXTENSION to the boolean value false in the config.php file.
This message can be disabled by setting the configuration variable SHOW_IE_PERFORMANCE_WARNING to the boolean value false in the config.php file.

Unlimited Games. How should Red play 42?
pips Red=125 White=125
(CorrectAnswer= 0/0, ErrorScore= 0)
This is not the type of position where Red can kill checkers with 6/4, 6/2 or 6/2, 4/2. Those soldiers need to be on the field of battle. This leaves a choice between 12/6 and 13/7.
13/7 leaves more shots but crucially, only exposes one checker. As a result, 12/6 is very nearly a blunder.
That leaves 13/7 as the only viable move.

About
I’m a Site Reliability Engineer based in London, UK. After spending most of my career in telecoms, I find myself working in the fintech space, which brings with it a different set of challenges for both the development and the operational management of the platforms I am responsible for.
Common stack these days includes:
- AWS
- Kubernetes
- Prometheus
- Go
- Linux
Outside of the office, I’m getting into photography and enjoy drinking in the history of London and the rest of the UK, as well as travel throughout Europe.

| SUMMARY: NESTED | FIELD | CONSTR | METHOD | DETAIL: FIELD | CONSTR | METHOD |
public interface Doc
Interface Doc specifies the interface for an object that supplies one piece of print data for a Print Job.  The client passes to the Print Job an object that implements interface Doc, and the Print Job calls methods on that object to obtain the print data. The Doc interface lets a Print Job:
DocFlavor
),
in which the print data is available. A doc flavor designates the print
data format (a MIME type) and the representation class of the object
from which the print data comes.
javax.print.attribute
. The doc returns its printing attributes stored in
an javax.print.attribute.DocAttributeSet
.
Each method in an implementation of interface Doc is permitted always to
return the same object each time the method is called.
This has implications
for a Print Job or other caller of a doc object whose print data
representation object "consumes" the print data as the caller obtains the
print data, such as a print data representation object which is a stream.
Once the Print Job has called
and obtained the stream, any further calls to
getPrintData()
will return the same
stream object upon which reading may already be in progress, not a new
stream object that will re-read the print data from the beginning. Specifying
a doc object to behave this way simplifies the implementation of doc objects,
and is justified on the grounds that a particular doc is intended to convey
print data only to one Print Job, not to several different Print Jobs. (To
convey the same print data to several different Print Jobs, you have to
create several different doc objects on top of the same print data source.)
getPrintData()
Interface Doc affords considerable implementation flexibility. The print data
might already be in existence when the doc object is constructed. In this
case the objects returned by the doc's methods can be supplied to the doc's
constructor, be stored in the doc ahead of time, and simply be returned when
called for. Alternatively, the print data might not exist yet when the doc
object is constructed. In this case the doc object might provide a "lazy"
implementation that generates the print data representation object (and/or
the print data) only when the Print Job calls for it (when the Print Job
calls the
method).
getPrintData()
There is no restriction on the number of client threads that may be simultaneously accessing the same doc. Therefore, all implementations of interface Doc must be designed to be multiple thread safe.
However there can only be one consumer of the print data obtained from a Doc.
If print data is obtained from the client as a stream, by calling Doc's
getReaderForText()
or getStreamForBytes()
methods, or because the print data source is already an InputStream or
Reader, then the print service should always close these streams for the
client on all job completion conditions. With the following caveat.
If the print data is itself a stream, the service will always close it.
If the print data is otherwise something that can be requested as a stream,
the service will only close the stream if it has obtained the stream before
terminating. That is, just because a print service might request data as
a stream does not mean that it will, with the implications that Doc
implementors which rely on the service to close them should create such
streams only in response to a request from the service.

This is a sample page. The idea here is that it launches to a new page when a link is clicked. All codes for this functionality is located only in bootstrap.html file. When you want to call a variable from a separate file just like javascript, just create a separate javascript file for your HTML. This page is actually a sample for this concern.

This package is too big for CRAN to host, so we have it posted through our own package
repository.16 For more on how and why we did this, see
an article we wrote about the
process for The R Journal. Because of this, you’ll need to take a few extra steps
to download and install the package:17 If you don’t have the drat
package, install it in
the usual way with install.packages("drat")
.
library(drat)
addRepo("geanders")
install.packages("hurricaneexposuredata")
install.packages("hurricaneexposure")
Once you’ve installed both the hurricaneexposuredata
and hurricaneexposure
packages, you
can load them as usual to access both the data and some functions to work with them:
library(hurricaneexposuredata)
library(hurricaneexposure)
The hurricaneexposure
package has a series of functions that let you explore different
exposures during storms. For example, to get the storms where either New York County, NY,
or Suffolk County, MA, (which includes Boston) were exposed to tropical storm-level winds
(17.5 m/s or higher), you can run:18 For any of these functions, you can find out what parameters
to include, and in what format, but opening the helpfile for the function. For example, once you’ve
loaded the hurricaneexposure
package, you can open the helpfile for the county_wind
function
by calling ?county_wind
. Also helpful for navigating packages: take advantage of the package::function
notation and RStudio’s tab completion to look up the names of functions in a package. For example,
type hurricaneexposure::
. A pop-up window should show up with all the functions in the package (press
Tab if the pop-up doesn’t automatically open).

The hurricaneexposure
package also has functions for mapping the exposure
data for specific storms. For example, to see the rainfall fro Hurricane Ivan in
2004, you can run:
map_counties(storm = "Ivan-2004", metric = "rainfall")
From this map, you can see that the rain from this storm extended into New England, even after the storm looped back around to the east and south. This is why New York City had heavy rainfall (and flooding) from this event, but not tropical storm-level winds.
For more on the hurricaneexposure
package, see its vignette.


The purpose of the SAFLT agreement is to provide developers and project leaders with a legal tool to create deferred payment contracts for blockchain related developments. Let's say that Alice wants to develop a token-based venue. Where each token shall represent one seat in the venue, and where the building on the venue will be financed by pre-sale of these seats. The technology will allow seatholders to grant permissions for a limited time to others by leasing their seat. This will be made using a time-lock capability where the person who wishes to lease the seat for a specific venue (a Britney Spears concert) will lock X ETHs until it returns the token that represents the seat to the holder.
Now, this is a crowd-funded project. It also might not be deemed as a security token. But Alice needs people to help her develop the pre-sale (or ICO) stage. For this, she needs one initial software developer to write the whitepaper, a marketing guy to help her with the funding, and a web designer to set up a page for the Speculative Cryptocurrency Allotment Method she wants to run. This costs money, but Alice? Alice only has an idea.
So how could Alice get the project running? She can use her own capital. But if she doesn’t have any she will need to create future commitments. This means that she will need to find a developer and tell him “Hi, I’m doing this project and I want you in. If we raise money, you will get paid”. That guy is Bob.
Bob knows he is taking a risk. That’s why Bob’s goal is rewarded: Alice will give him tokens which might increase in value (meaning, he will have a stake in the project) or pay him conditionally.
Unlike regular projects, that assume that everyone has the funds, this project assumes that people trust each other and give them credit.
This agreement will set up the framework for general services that their compensation is future related.
First, we’ll define the task. This will be done in Annex A. We will define specific deliverables and results, and the acceptance tests. That’s your job. We can define the legal framework, but not the actual project.
Annex B will be your compensation scheme: how will the contractor be rewarded.
Annex C will define the token which is meant to be issued. This is for the (unlikely) case that the project lead issues two tokens, one is worthless and the other is not, and provides the contractor with the worthless token.
Annex D will be the cap table. In the case where the payment is equity based, we need to let the Bobs of this world who else is a stakeholder in the project and how much exactly is their stake.
Now, while this is a legal agreement, we only provide it as a template. This means that you can accept it as a general term, or you can modify it. You should consult a legal expert to do this, because this does have risks.,


Getting Started¶
Installation¶
To get started, clone dsacalib from the github repository https://github.com/dsa110/dsa110-calib and follow the installation directions in the ReadMe. dsacalib is built on CASA - the required modules can be downloaded using pip:
pip install casatools --index-url https://casa-pip.nrao.edu/repository/pypi-casa-release/simple --no-cache-dir
pip install casatasks --index-url https://casa-pip.nrao.edu/repository/pypi-casa-release/simple --no-cache-dir
pip install casadata --index-url https://casa-pip.nrao.edu/repository/pypi-casa-release/simple --no-cache-dir
Real-time pipelines¶
If you are using dsacalib for calibration of DSA antenna gains and delays, you likely want to use one of the pre-built pipelines. These piplines include integration with the greater DSA system through writing of logs to syslog and pushing solutions to etcd. These pipelines are in dsacalib/scripts. The currently-available pipelines are:
- triple_antenna_corr - Reads in the output FITS files of the 3-antenna correlator and uses CASA to perform baseline-based calibration. Antenna solutions are calculated from the baseline solutions and pushed to etcd
If you are looking to build your own pipeline, these may be a good place to start.


Portuguese foundation launches world's largest cancer award
LISBON: Portugal's Champalimaud Foundation announced on Monday the world's largest annual prize, worth 1 million euros, for research and clinical practices aiming to control or eradicate cancer.
Cancer is the second leading cause of death globally and it was responsible for an estimated 9.6 million deaths in 2018, according to the World Health Organisation.
"For more than a century cancer, more than any other disease, has occupied our thought and fears," the foundation said.
"Despite growing knowledge on the biology of the disease and advances in prevention, diagnosis and treatment, deaths from cancer are continuing to rise in most countries."
The foundation, which focuses on neuroscience and oncology research at its Lisbon base, was set up at the bequest of the industrialist Antonio Champalimaud who died in 2004.
Last year a prize was awarded to seven scientists in the United States and Britain who came up with a revolutionary gene therapy cure for a rare genetic form of childhood blindness.

Being a student in a large public university, my college experience has been one of experimentation (name it..pretty much everything save for pcp, crack, and heroin). My first experience with stimulants came by way of a friend who successfully faked ADHD to a psychiatrist to obtain Ritalin. Among college students this practice is in vogue, as it's not exceedingly difficult to fake a condition dependent on fidgeting and a lack of attention. Personally I don't feel I faked my condition at all - I am who I am - the doctor just gave me a label which gives me the green-light for schedule II stimulants and will inevitably increase my cost of health & life insurance down the road.
Prior to having my own prescription, I took Dexedrine once or twice a week on my 'full' study days - those in which I planned on staying in the library most of the day. Dexedrine, taken initially at doses of 15 mg with a 5-7.5 mg booster 2-3 hours in, yielded mild euphoria as it kicked in, as well as a sense of purpose and increased drive. Not only did I feel intellectually capable of doing homework, I wanted to do it. The intial euphoric drive lasted for a few hours but eventually mellowed to a calm sense of purpose and the simple feeling of 'I can do this now while I'm medicated and it will be easier to deal with, or I can put it off and do it later - I'll choose the former'.
A summary of the numerous effects which accompanied a general mental clarity and lack of fatigue are as follows: I fidget less. I feel more physically grounded and 'centered' - which I'd describe as a precise, calm, physical feeling of being more coordinated - essentially the polar opposite being sloppy drunk. I have little desire to eat and increased committment to dieting and eating responsibly. I also find I have a tendency to drive in a safer and more responsible manner - I drive less aggressively and am bothered less by the driving slights of others.
At higher doses, the initial euphoria is more pronounced, but so are the effects on personality. My personality is 'blunted' somewhat, I feel more constricted with my words and unwilling to partake in casual conversation. I feel less verbally spontaneous. I don't sing with the radio in the car as much; I just feel verbally tied down. It's a feeling that would be a completely appropriate treatment for a person who was impuslive with their words and spoke without thinking - the medication works. Tunnel vision also sets in, a feeling of being locked-on forward, focused on where you're going, unconcerned about whatever drivel was occuring in the periphery. However, although the urge to look around is reduced, a sense of increased awareness of one's surroundings is felt.
The higher dosage range also produced increased feelings of mental and physical superiority, as clarity of thought as well as movement are enhanced. Invariably, studies have shown that amphetamines boost physical performance and I can attest to that fact as well. In the gym, I can perform more exercises at increased weight for additional reps for long periods of time without feeling fatigued. The only give-away is that I tend to heat up and sweat significantly more while exercising.
Fast-forward two years. I now have my own prescription which provides 35 mgs per day. Tolerance to Dexedrine has developed over time to the point where 35 mgs over a day feels less strong than 25 mgs did in the early days. When I first got the prescription my usage patterns didn't change, still 1-2 days a week. Then work for finals started to ramp up and usage increased to 3-5 days per week. The increased availability of the drug as well the increased usefulness of it (with a heavier schedule) worked hand in hand to increase the frequency of use. As insomnia has continually been a part of the dexedrine experience, I began to go through a bottle of vodka every two weeks just to fall asleep at night. Without 4 shots, sleep only came around 4 or 5 am and consisted of a few hours of marginal sleep.
After finals finished, a period of abstinence was implemented. This was not at all difficult to do since I never took Dexedrine with the sole intent of 'getting high'. Unlike Ritalin, I've never snorted Dexedrine. I've also never taken Dexedrine to pull all-nighters. However when I did snort Ritalin, it produced a high indistinguishable from cocaine with the exception that it lasted much longer and produced a much more pronounced come-down. 'Getting high' with low doses of dexedrine orally is not possible, my doctor tells me. The slight euphoria is viewed as a side effect of the increase in drive and focus which the medications are prescribed for. With the increased frequency of use, the mild euphoric effects of the medication are diminished so that only a feeling of increased 'seriousness' is felt when I pop my pills. It would probably take a lot orally to feel the near-day-long euphoria I initially felt from Dexedrine.
So where are we at now? Following the period of abstinence from stimulants of all kinds (including coffee), I became aware of why so many Americans are habitual stimulant addicts (read coffee drinkers).  I generally feel tired and unmotivated. The afternoon always produced increased focus and energy, following the up-swing of the body's circadian rhythms, but the morning is a killer. I thought that after abstaining for some period of time I would have more energy and clarity of thought - getting back to basics and just letting my body do its thing naturally. But this hasn't been the case.
Rather, a mild dependency has developed. I realize that it is easier to study and perform intellectual tasks with the medication, so I'll take it if I've got a lot of work to do. If I am at home relaxing for the day, I won't take it. I like my personality better when I'm not taking Dexedrine, if I don't have to be productive that is. So given that I have no urge to take it recreationally, I wouldn't say I'm addicted to it, but dependence has developed. I can do intellectual work and study without Dexedrine, but its just as much of a pain in the ass as it was before I started meds, compounded by the knowledge that a pill I possess could change my attitude in 45 minutes. Given that, I would say its definetly accurate to say that the medication can produce dependency, and in that way, is addictive. I know I could quit taking Dexedrine forever, however I'd probably just get my performance-fix from coffee.
But I wouldn't change my experiences with Dexedrine nor do I feel bad about them. My academic performance since beginning Dexedrine has increased substantially, with a 4.0 GPA the norm and class-wide high-scores on exams not uncommon (5 out of the 12 exams this term). My friends expect me to get the highest scores and cute girls seek me out to study with. I've always been intelligent, Dexedrine just allowed me to focus my energy in a more productive manner. I am accomplishing more of my goals and feel more dedicated to whatever I do. I procrastinate less and even feel less of an urge to do drugs or drink alcohol. Which is where I'll leave this report, with the drug and alcohol interactions I've noticed.
Dexedrine with alcohol - The more Dexedrine in my system, the less I will feel the effects of alcohol. This is a good thing and a bad thing. Dexedrine will keep me awake during a night of hard drinking if I was tired starting out, but it also makes it hard to get drunk. By the time I start to feel drunk, I’ve generally had so much alcohol my memory starts to go – not good. But regulating my drinking and reaching the right level of drunkenness will leave me feeling drunk as well as being verbally composed, articulate, and sharp.
Dexedrine with marijuana – Feels pretty good. Marijuana can take the edge off of stimulants as they wear down. Dexedrine also takes away a lot of the fatigue and confusion marijuana can cause. I feel high but not stoned. Marijuana also helps increase appetite in the face of Dexedrine-induced anorexia.

Control of reaction-diffusion
This is a post in a collection of several on control of reaction-diffusion under state constraints
See more ...
In this tutorial we will observe different phenomena that arise in the control with state-constraints and moreover we will observe different ways to approach a desired target.
Observation of several phenomena
In the simulations below, we will consider the following optimal control problem:
In Figure 1, the initial state was $u_0=1$ and we can observe how the solution has been successfully driven to the target $u_1=0.33$. For this length of the domain there is no barrier (see Barriers)), for this reason the optimal solution can achieve the target.
The trajectory of the control can also be understood from the theoretical understanding of the controllability under state constraints.
In the first phase, the control takes values that are below the target $u_1=0.33$. This behavior is necessary because for this length of the domain there exist nontrivial solutions with boundary value $0.33$ that are between $0$ and $1$.
These nontrivial solutions do not constitute an intrinsic obstruction since we know that the equation is controllable for this length of the domain (see [1,3] and Staircase post and Barriers post). However, the strategy of setting boundary equal to $0.33$ for a long time and then doing a local control will not work.
The second oscillatory phase has been already observed in the unconstrained case (see [4]).
Figure 1. At the left, the controlled state, at the right, the control function. $u_0=1$ and $u_1=0.33$.
Another important feature is the existence of a minimal controllability time. In Figure 2, $u_0=0$ and the target is $u_1=0.33$. From the theoretical perspective, if the time horizon is large enough we are always able to go from the initial state to the target. This is due to the existence of an admissible continuous path of steady states (Staircase post).
However, in Figure 2, one observes that the target $u_1=0.33$ has been not achieved. The reason is that $T$ is not large enough for the equation to be controllable.
Figure 2. At the left, the controlled state displayed in space-time, at the right, different snapshots of the state, darker curves are associated with larger times. $u_0=0$ and $u_1=0.33$ .
The other phenomenology already mentioned above and in the blog post Barriers is the lack of controllability due to the emergence of nontrivial solutions. In Figure 3, the initial state is $u_0=1$ and the target is $u_1=0$. We can observe how the state gets stuck to the barrier.
Figure 3. At the left, the controlled state displayed in space-time, at the right, different snapshots of the state, darker curves are associated with larger times. $u_0=1$ and $u_1=0$ .
Exploration
Now we turn our attention to the exploration of different control strategies.
Quasistatic
In Figure 4, we seek to find a control that is quasistatic, for doing so we penalize the time derivative of the control in the discrete level and we add the restriction $u(x,T)=0.33$.
Figure 4. At the left, the controlled state displayed in space-time, at the right, the control function. $u_0=0$ and $u_1=0.33$ .
Minimal control time
In Figure 5, we compute the control in minimal time by minimizing the functional:
Figure 5. At the left, the controlled state displayed in space-time, at the right, the control function. $u_0=0$ and $u_1=0.33$ .
Figure 5 points out that the control in minimal time has the bang-bang property.
Minimal flow control
In Figure 6, we compute the control with minimal flow by minimizing the functional:
