Kickbeat's Steam picture,
as it doesn't have true cover art.
KickBeat has lots of flashing lights
and bright colors, rarer of games today.
KickBeat: Steam Edition is a rhythm game released in 2013 by Zen Studios. It is unique in the fact that it blends music and "fighting" together into a surprisingly fun game. Your goal in KickBeat is to defend the Orb of Music from attackers who want its power. You stand in the center of a circle, and the enemies walk slowly around you. When the reach a side of the circle (left, right, top, or bottom) they will attempt to attack you. When this happens, you have to push the button corresponding to the side they are coming from. (WASD by default.)
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Bright and exciting visuals | Can be overwhelming |
| Good music choices | Story is easy to overlook |
| Action is fun | Music is not mapped perfectly |
| Infinite replayability due to music importing | Can feel repetitive |
| Good variety of preloaded tracks | |
| Verdict = 8.5 out of 10 |
KickBeat is simple but addictive game. Nothing feels better that whooping random enemies to the beat of your favorite songs, and KickBeat lets you do so near-flawlessly. Its campaign mode has just enough twists to keep it interesting, whether it be a "boss battle" or moving to a new location, with character and enemy outfits to match. While the game can be confusing and even overwhelming (try Master difficulty and you'll understand) it is never frustrating to the point of not being fun anymore. A definite buy for music lovers!
Teleglitch's cover art, a throwback
to the days of the Atari 2600.
Teleglitch has very unique visuals,
giving it an interesting feel.
Teleglitch: Die More Edition is an indie top-down shooter released in 2013 by Paradox Interactive. It is very similar to other dungeon-crawler games like Nethack in nature, and does a good job of living up to it. The game features randomly generated levels, healthy amounts of loot, unhealthy amounts of enemies, and plenty of secrets.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Uniquely interesting graphics | VERY steep learning curve |
| Great level design | Story is easy to miss |
| Combat is fun | Objectives not always clear |
| Amazing atmosphere | |
| Verdict = 8.5 out of 10 |
Teleglitch is an immersive game, to say the least. The atmosphere that is created through the sparse lighting, strange background noises and strange visual quirks is rare. If I had to compare it, the closest game I've played to this would be the flash game K.O.L.M. Teleglitch has very fun gameplay, involving plenty of exploration, murder, and looting. Overall, I definitely recommend this to anyone looking for an action-horror dungeon-crawling shooter.
Battlefield 4's box art,
showcasing the protagonist of its campaign.
The graphics are crazy good,
thanks to the Frostbite 3 engine.
Battlefield 4 is a FPS released by EA and developed by DICE in 2013. It is the sequel to Battlefield 3, and improves on it in many ways. Battlefield 4 focuses on team play unlike some other shooters, and this can make the game more or less fun depending on circumstance. There are tons of maps, many of them being DLC. Vehicles are a good aspect of the game, but can be annoying due to respawn times. Levolution is a mind-blowing aspect of the game, and certainly can make for some interesting battles.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Good UI and mechanics | Buggy release |
| Well-designed DLCs | A few too many DLCs |
| Maps are well designed | Campaign is too short |
| Great multiplayer experience | Battlepacks are stupid |
| Verdict = 8 out of 10 |
I love Battlefield 4, but it has its flaws, like every game. First, the game took too long to perfect. Major issues took forever to fix, and even now DICE is still working on perfecting the game. This can make your first impression a negative one, and leave you frustrated while DICE lags behind on bug fixes.  Each battlepack contains random weapons attachments, XP boosts, customization options, or other things. This sounds fine, but there are some attachments that can ONLY be acquired through these, and each attachment is gun-specific. So, you may end up frustrated as you cannot get the attachment you want for the gun you want. And with more than 50 guns in the game, you might be waiting a while. This wouldn't be so bad if they came easily, but you either have to level up for them or BUY them. On the bright side, Battlefield 4 is unique and massively fun, whether you're in a tank, boat, helicopter, or foot soldier. A definite recommendation, especially now that many of the major bugs have been fixed.
Rivals' cover art. Quite stylish.
The visuals of this game are stunning,
but looks aren't everything...
Need for Speed Rivals is a racing game released in 2013 by EA. The game was developed by Ghost Games and Criterion, leaving DICE open to work on Battlefield 4. It is similar to NFS Hot Pursuit in style, but has several differences. The world is more rural than Most Wanted's, focusing on straighter roads to complement the top speeds of some of the hypercars. Also, there is more customization than there was in Most Wanted, with car color and performance upgrades being available.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Good car selection | Forgettable story |
| Actual customization | Autolog can be annoying |
| Multiplayer is good | Safehouse system SUCKS |
| Graphics are beautiful | DLCs are expensive and mediocre |
| Pursuit Tech feels gimmicky | |
| Steep learning curve | |
| Verdict = 6 out of 10 |
I honestly liked this game, but several things hurt it a LOT. Firstly, the world, while beautifully rendered, is lacking, with few side streets and more dirt paths that you just don't want to drive your Ferrari on. Most roads are fairly straight, and this can cause some boring sections during races. Secondly, the story is TERRIBLE. Most, of the time, you're ignoring it as some guy goes on a monologue over some strange techno visuals. The cars don't feel special, since they are overshadowed by newer, faster ones that you unlock every time you finish a chapter of the game's "story." The DLCs only unlock a couple of cars and are WAY overpriced, at 5 buck for two or three decent cars. On the bright side, the physics are GREAT.  Overall, I would recommend to skip Rivals unless it's really your thing, and instead either go for the cheaper Most Wanted, which is better in most ways, or wait for NFS 2015.
The box art of the game.
This shows off the amazing detail
and selection of supercars.
Need For Speed Most Wanted (2012) is a racing game released by EA studios and developed by DICE and Criterion Games. It is the spiritual successor to the 2005 Need for Speed Most wanted, but shares many differences. Firstly, do NOT think of this game as the sequel to the original, or you will be disappointed. For sharing the same name, there are very few similarities between the two. This installment focuses more on the sleek and shiny cars than the "gangsta" atmosphere of the first, and the game's interface looks extremely clean to reflect that, as well as the memorable rap music of the first being replaced by below-average pop.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| A TON of cars! (~50) | Little customization |
| Open, very well-designed world | Cops are annoying but stupid |
| Very nice graphics | Wants you to buy DLC |
| If bought, DLCs are very good | Not enough races |
| Verdict: 7.5 out of 10 |
The game is excellent, but does not live up to its predecessor. Some of its features are great, such as the frantic multiplayer, but it's missing a lot. The "bosses" are way too easy (specially with the DLC that gives you a Bugatti right off the bat), there are only 8 or so events per car, and eventually travelling the beautiful open world becomes pointless thanks to a fast-travel like system. It is an extremely fun game, with high-octane action and crazy stunts, but it can be stress-inducing, especially when driving hypercars that will crash on a pebble. Overall, I recommend this for the fun I've had playing it, but buy at you own risk. If you want to see some gameplay, check out one of my videos here.

Skateboard
Project Description:
This time, we made skateboards. I designed mine, with different sized hexagons and pentagons, along with my initals. The desgin was
easy, but tedious. I used the laser to engrave this design on my skateboard. The next step, was to assemble the board. We used a roller to
apply glue to each layer. I then taped the board to a foam mold, placed the breather ontop, and put it in the vacuum seal bag. I sealed the
bag with tar, and then pumped all of the air out. I let it sit for a few days. I then took it out of the bag and sanded the edges down.
I found this process to be fun, but frustrating, becuase I kept having to go back and forth between the two machines. I then coated my
board in epoxy, this is a sealant. While I was sanding, part of my B came off, becuase it was already pretty close to the edge of the board.

DEATHTRAP (director: Sidney Lumet; screenwriter: Jay Presson Allen/from the play of Ira Levin; cinematographer: Andrzej Bartkowiak; editor: John J. Fitzstephens; cast: Michael Caine (Sidney Bruhl), Christopher Reeve (Clifford Anderson), Dyan Cannon (Myra Bruhl), Irene Worth (Helga Ten Dorp), Henry Jones (Porter Milgrim), 1982)
Reviewed by Dennis Schwartz
A verbose talk-fest, which is a play more than a visual film experience, as adapted by Sidney Lumet from Ira Levin's Broadway play about a parlor murder game.  Here he is in a bit of a frenzy in portraying the characters, relying more on plot twists than character development. In comparison with a similar-type of stage play put to the silver screen, Joseph L. Mankiewicz's Sleuth, Lumet's is clearly the inferior one.
The film centers around the Michael Caine character Sidney Bruhl, a once successful mystery playwright, who at the age of 46, has lost his ability to write. He is tired of living off his wealthy wife, Myra (Cannon), in their spacious and attractive East Hampton home. When his latest Broadway play flops, his fourth such disaster in a row, he returns home drunk and depressed, but tells his wife that a student in one of his writing seminars sent him a brilliant manuscript that he would kill for. At first, Myra thinks he is joking about killing for the play, but when he tells her this student, whom he doesn't even remember what he looks like, Clifford Anderson (Reeves), "has written a play that is so good, even a gifted director couldn't hurt it," and to make matters even better, he is a loner who has no other copies of the manuscript. She begins to think, maybe he isn't joking, that he actually might kill for a hit play.
The story builds in suspense when the cheery Clifford arrives in their house to go over the play with his former teacher and Sidney carries out his plan to kill him by trickily getting him to handcuff himself with his souvenir Houdini handcuffs and then strangling him with another prop from one of his plays. Myra tried to stop him, but could only helplessly scream, feeling repelled that her husband could do something like that but is unwilling to turn him over to the cops. At this point, the film had a fluidity and a macabre comical tone to it. But, it changes in a drastically different direction, and the surprises in the plot, from here on, come about faster than a Venice Beach skateboarder trying to impress the bystanders.
Removing Clifford's body, with his reluctant wife's help, the Bruhl's are about to retire for the night, when a nosy neighbor, Helga Ten Dorp (Worth), a visitor from Holland who is staying with the family next door, pays them a visit. She also happens to be a psychic and senses something is wrong in the house; she feels pain everywhere, especially in the study-area, where Sidney keeps his mementos from his other plays, which include guns, knives, and swords. The psychic clearly sees dangers ahead and warns the couple to leave the house, she is especially fearful about what will happen to Myra.
What eventually shines through, is how clever and manipulative the script is. I felt used by the characterizations, as it took away a lot of the pleasure derived from the snappy dialogue and the absurdity of the storyline, that in the first act, worked really well. Caine seemed marvelous at first, but I soon tired of his constantly frantic look. It was Dyan Cannon, with her sweet giggles and frustrated looks, who brought a needed restraint to the film, and as long as she was onscreen the film had an edge to it. Too many contrivances made everything seem so superficial, which is a shame, because the film did have its funny moments.

Well to say it rained is an understatement. We had about 140mm of rain over Friday night and Saturday with monsoon type weather descending on these parts. We had to go down the mountain to a birthday party yesterday which turned into a bit of an adventure as most of the roads were blocked. Roads resembled rivers. Plenty of people were pulled up on the side of the road taking photos of water. I have no photos to show as I felt I would be contradicting myself after all the ranting I did while trying to drive around people's cars that were poorly parked on the side of the road and don't let me go on about one driver that tried very hard, but thankfully wasn't successful, in trying to cause an accident.
We were without power for almost a day and a half. We currently have our heater going. Thought about lighting to wood fire, but all the kindling is wet! Summer huh? The frog that lives outside our bedroom is happy though. It's quite sweet being serenaded to sleep by it's croaking (I'm serious, I love frogs). We are safe and well and at the end of the day, that is what matters. Hoping you spent your weekend high and dry.

--- layout: page title: About me ---
I am an Eric and Wendy Schmidt AI in Science research fellow at the University of Oxford, where I also hold a secondment as Stipendiary Lecturer in Biochemistry. I am a computational biologist developing artificial intelligence tools to engineer proteins. I work closely with Prof. Charlotte M. Deane and Prof. Yee Whye Teh, in the highly interdisciplinary environment of the Department of Statistics.
Prior to joining the University of Oxford as a PhD student, I trained as a chemist at the universities of Oviedo (Spain) and Manchester (UK). I also enjoyed a brief stint developing generative AI methods for small molecule drug discovery at the lab of Prof. Alán Aspuru-Guzik, back then at Harvard University (US), which first showed me the opportunities of combining cutting-edge machine learning algorithms with a chemical background and good understanding of biology.
My central research interest is the development of artificial intelligence tools for protein engineering and protein design, although I am also generally interested in language models, drug discovery, deep learning for 3D point cloud data, enzymology, and other topics in computational protein science. To read more about my research interests and contributions, check out my Research page. In this page, I write about the latest developments in biotech and TechBio, and my opinions on the future of the field. Some of my passions outside of science are molecular cuisine, social dancing and strength conditioning, and I occasionally write about these as well.


Remember the Titans * * * (out of * * * * )
Directed by Boaz Yakin. Cast: Denzel Washington, Will Patton, Ryan Hurst, Wood Harris, Hayden Panettiere, Ethan Suplee, Kip Pardue, Ryan Gosling, Craig Kirkwood, Donald Faison, Nicole Ari Parker, Kate Bosworth, Neal Ghant. 2000 - 113 minutes Rated PG (for mild profanity and thematic elements). Reviewed by Dustin Putman, September 30, 2000.
While following the same basic formula as all movies of its genre, Boaz Yakin's "Remember the Titans" is a surprisingly well-made football dramedy that, thanks to the assured, non-stereotypical screenplay by Gregory Allen Howard, manages to genuinely entertain and excite, even when it is offering up a cliched moment or two. Simply put, it is the best sports film since 1993's "Rudy."
Based on a true story set during the first year of integration between the black and white students at T.C. Williams High School in Alexandria, Virginia, circa 1971, "Remember the Titans" tells of the famed Titans football team, which was headed up that very same year by the team's first black coach, earnest family man Herman Boone (Denzel Washington). At first, previous head coach Bill Yoast (Will Patton) is upset to be downgraded to merely Boone's assistant, but just as Boone teaches his team how to get along and overcome their racial and prejudicial differences, Yoast begins to sympathize and deeply relate to Boone himself.
One of the pleasures in watching "Remember the Titans" is realizing how the movie is not so much about the Titans football team winning the state championship, as it is about the team players learning to respect each other and using the sport as a way of expressing their future goals and dreams in life. Too often sports films rely solely on the suspense of whether the hero's team will win "the big game," sacrificing character development for such a worn-out plotline, and thus, they fail because 9.9 times out of 10 it is a given which team will come out on top. "Remember the Titans" does things a bit different by exposing itself as not only a so-called "football movie," but also an intelligent, if somewhat commercialized, view of race relations in 1971's Northern Virginia.
The cast is top-flight, particularly the younger actors, who create distinct characters out of potentially one-dimensional supporting roles. Ryan Hurst (1998's "Saving Private Ryan") is an absolute standout as head white captain Gerry Bertier, while his nemesis-turned-close-friend Julius Campbell is, likewise, well-played by Wood Harris (2000's "Committed"). Of the other football player, other notables include newcomer Ryan Gosling's truly likable turn as Allan Bosley; Kip Pardue (2000's "Whatever It Takes") as the charming, peacemaking hippie Sunshine; and Ethan Suplee, effective as the overweight Lastik, who has no known future after graduation. As Gerry's caring, but prejudiced girlfriend, Kate Bosworth (1998's "The Horse Whisperer") makes a minor impression with her few touching scenes in the second half, and Hayden Panettiere (1999's "Message in a Bottle"), as Assistant Coach Yoast's determined and precocious 9-year-old daughter, Cheryl, who narrates the picture as an adult, is appropriately precocious, delicately balancing her childish innocence with a wise-beyond-her-years dedication to her father's profession.
As the two central figures, Denzel Washington (1999's "The Hurricane") can do no wrong, and his portrayal of the rough-edged Boone, who often hides his warmer, more caring side, is right on the mark. Meanwhile, Will Patton (2000's "Gone in Sixty Seconds"), too often underutilized in films, brings a heartfelt realism to his fully written role of Yoast.
Overlooking a decidedly unnecessary wraparound sequence set in 1981, ten years after the central action, "Remember the Titans" is a motion picture that, for the first time in several years, producer Jerry Bruckheimer (1998's "Armageddon," 2000's "Coyote Ugly") can be proud of. With very little objectionable material, it is the rarest of PG-rated films that hold the ability of entertaining both adults and children, who may even learn a thing or two in the process about the importance of character and morals within each given individual. "Remember the Titans" is a veritable winner.

As a continuation of last week, we are still working with the conservation example of purchasing lots to increase the survival of two species.
Last week, we explored different variations of species’ importance to conservation, where \(0\leq w\leq 1\) is the weight or level of importance given to species a, and by default \(1-w\) as the weight given to species b, accordingly. But what if we did not know which species was more important to the environment but we want to know what the attainable survival probabilities would be for the different values of \(w\) for both species?
We would need the maximum probabilty of survival for each species given the various levels of importance. From here we could creat the efficiencey frontier with the survival probabilites for both species.
Let’s bring in some code from last week:
N = 10 # Ten lots.
set.seed(0) # Set seed so R remembers the random numbers that we are going to generate.
hp_a = sample(0:2,N,replace=T) # Habitat potential for sp a
hp_b = sample(0:2,N,replace=T) # Habitat potential for sp b
c = sample(1:10,N,replace=T) # The cost of each lot
B = 12 # Budget is 12 million
alpha_a = 1/(sum(hp_a))^.5 # Scaling factor for sp a
alpha_b = 1/(sum(hp_b))^.5 # Scaling factor for sp b
# function to calculate survival probabilities
surv.prob = function(F, hp, alpha){
PS = alpha*(F%*%hp)^.5
as.numeric(PS)}
# function to calculte total cost
total.cost = function(F){
TC = F%*%c # Estimate total cost
as.numeric(TC)}
Now for some new code. First, we will generate a sequence of \(w\)’s and estimate the optimal purchases for each of them.
w = seq(0,1,.05) # create a sequence from 0 to 1 with steps of .05
We need to loop through these \(w\)’s and save the results from each loop to a matrix. If you recall from last week, our estimated parameters were 10 different factions, so we need 10 rows in our matrix. Now we will have a set of fractions for each value of \(w\), so we need a column for each value of \(w\). The number of columns needed is determined by length(w)
.
K = length(w) # Number of times we need to run the loop
TF = matrix(0,N,K) # Empty matrix to store the optimal values for each iteration. Each column is a diferent iteration.
Here is the loop format. Next, we will work on what goes inside the loop.
for(k in 1:K)
{ # For every value of w, indexed by the letter k, do something.
### Write Code to do something
TF[,k] # Save the results to each column of TF
} # End loop
To estimate the optimal survival of each species for each of value of \(w\), we have to calculate surival for both species for each value of \(w\). Basically, we need to create an optimization function that updates the value of \(w\) every time by indexing by k:
library("Rsolnp") # for the optimizer
## Warning: package 'Rsolnp' was built under R version 3.6.3
for(k in 1:K){ # start loop
opt.surv = function(ff){ # create a handle function
PS_A <- surv.prob(ff,hp_a,alpha_a)
PS_B <- surv.prob(ff,hp_b,alpha_b)
# NOTE: step through each value of w using the loop and indexing
# Weighted sum of survival probabilities
PS <- w[k]*PS_A + (1-w[k])*PS_B
as.numeric(-PS)
} # end opt.surv func
OO <- solnp(rep(.5,N), # Starting values
fun = opt.surv, # Function to minimize
ineqfun = total.cost, # parameters for the inequality constraint
ineqUB = B, # Upper bound of inequality
ineqLB = 0, # Lower bound of inequality
LB = rep(0,N), # Lower bound
UB = rep(1,N), # Upper bound
control = list(trace = 0)) # Omit reports
TF[,k] = OO$pars # Store results
} # end loop
# Did we get what we wanted?

Now we want to calculate the probabilities of survival using those estimated optimal fractions of land to purchase given the different levels of importance.
We use the apply function here, apply
works with applying functions to an entire matrix. You can use lapply
if you want to apply the function to a list or tapply
for an array. Examine the help file for apply
to understand the inputs.
# calculate the probobility of survival for each species
# given the estimated fraction paramters
PS_A = apply(TF,2,surv.prob,hp=hp_a,alpha=alpha_a)
PS_B = apply(TF,2,surv.prob,hp=hp_b,alpha=alpha_b)
# Make into a dataframe for plotting in ggplot
Data = as.data.frame(cbind(PS_A,PS_B))
To plot our results, we can do the exact same process as before. The graph should look like a standard production possibilities frontier plot as showb below.

Here is your efficiency frontier representing the range of survival probabilities that maximize the total survival for the 21 different importance levels. You can’t see all 21 on the graph because some overlap. Any place on the efficiency frontier represents an optimal combination of survival for each species, that maximizes the total survival given various levels of importance. Any place inside of this curve indicates that there is need for improvement in your conservation strategy and you are not maximizing the probabilty of survival for either species.


(out of ****)
_Jane_Austen's_Mafia!_ (PG-13) ** _BASEketball_ (R) no stars _Pecker_ (R) ** 1/2
The freshness date for the joke-a-second comedy style pioneered by the writing-directing team of David Zucker, Jim Abrahams, and Jerry Zucker in 1980's _Airplane!_ has just about expired--look no further than Abrahams's latest ZAZ-flavored solo effort, _Jane_Austen's_Mafia!_ (which is being promoted as just plain _Mafia!_ in spite of the onscreen title prefix). While Abrahams had been able to keep the style, which crams ridiculous sight and verbal gags within single scenes and shots, fresh, and funny in his _Hot_Shots!_ films, most of the gags in the film (which he co-wrote with Greg Norberg and Michael McManus) are simply uninspired. A spoof of _The_Godfather_, _The_Godfather_Part_II_, and _Casino_ (including riffs on _The_English_Patient_, _Forrest_Gump_, _Child's_Play_, and even _Showgirls_), _Mafia!_ packs no big laughs, only a handful of smile-inducing jokes. Not helping matters is the lackluster efforts of the cast, led by a bland Jay Mohr as the Al Pacino stand-in and the late Lloyd Bridges, noticeably frail, as the Marlon Brando-esque don.
While Abrahams tries to milk the old ZAZ formula for more riches (and coming up mostly dry), one of his former cohorts, David Zucker, tries to modernize it by incorporating the background-gag style into a '90s lowbrow, gross-out comedy. The result, however, is simply disastrous. _BASEketball_, about two losers (Trey Parker and Matt Stone, creators of the cult hit TV series _South_Park_) who create a baseball/basketball hybrid that becomes the national pastime, is a painfully unfunny would-be satire of the commercialization of professional sports--or, rather, it _initially_ sets out to be a satire, with its sharply written prologue about how money became the center of all things athletic. But once that passage is done, Zucker, Robert LoCash, Lewis Friedman, and Jeff Wright's script degenerates into a tedious series of unamusing and rather forced gross-out gags, such as milk squirting from male nipples and the licking of a vibrator. There was only one funny gag, and that was when a familiar buddy-buddy reconciliation scene culminated not in a warm hug, but in a long, wet, tongue-heavy kiss (now that I've given that joke away, there's no reason for you to see the movie). As actors, Parker and Stone are... well, creators of a cult cartoon show. One has to wonder about Universal's marketing campaign that boasts "starring the creators of _South_Park_." I'm a big fan of _The_Simpsons_, but that doesn't mean I'll watch a film starring creator Matt Groening.
As low as Zucker or the modern masters of lowbrow comedy, _There's_Something_About_Mary_'s Farrelly Brothers, go, no one can tap into the uniquely warped wavelength of writer-director John Waters. His latest, _Pecker_, features more of his singular brand of cinematic dementia.
Toss in running gags about the pubic hair on lesbian strippers, and what could possibly be wrong? In short, the film doesn't have much of a pecker. The title character (a truly dazed Edward Furlong) is Little Chrissy's perky older brother, who snaps photos of everyone and everything he sees around him. Pecker's photos of his "culturally challenged" family and community come to arouse great interest in the New York art world, building to a rise to fame that causes the inevitable friction with his family; his girlfriend Shelley (Christina Ricci, wonderfully acid as always), who runs her laundromat with an iron fist; and his gleeful shoplifter of a best friend, Matt (Brendan Sexton III). This main thrust of the film, however, is downright flaccid compared to the comic potency of the fascinating and wildly amusing weirdness of all else. There's quite a bit to laugh at in _Pecker_, but the sturdy jokes stand up at the periphery of a very limp center. (_Pecker_ opens September 25)

Earlier this year I was able to finally experience this drug for the first time. The story of getting the drug is rather relevant in some respects. A friend of mine had acquired the drug about 2 years earlier from an unknown source. He was pretty sure that the dose in the capsule was 25mg, but I had no way of verifying. It had sat in a closed(dark) container at room temperature in a capsule in a small sealed bag. Neither of us had any idea if it would be any good or if it would work at all.
Conveniently, right around this time I was left in my house all alone. 'PERFECT!', I thought, 'Now I can do this with no worries of intrusion.' I spent the day cleaning up around the house, making sure there was nothing to trip over, well stocked with cold water, black-light & lava lamp setup, etc...
Around 1:00pm I then dumped half of the white powder out onto a mirror. I had read about the horrible pain that most reported from snorting 2C-T-7, but I wanted to get the most out of this that I could since I didn't believe I would ever see this substance again. I snorted the first half and waited for the pain. I didn't notice much of anything pain-wise, but I certainly noticed an almost immediate feeling of rising through the levels of consciousness.
I decided that it wasn't that bad & immediately poured the rest of the powder out on the mirror & snorted it. The increase in the pain was very noticeable, but not nearly as bad as I expected. I've experienced much worse nasal burns from methamphetamine. Perhaps this has something to do with it sitting around (curing?) for two years?
I had rolled 2 joints previous to ingesting the 2C-T-7. [Note: I refrained from consuming any marijuana earlier this day because I wanted to feel the true effects of the 2C-T-7.] After I finished off the powder I lit the first joint. By the time it was half way done I was in outer-space and I put it out. I don't think this had much to do with the weed, but more to do with the 2C-T-7.
The effects came on incredibly quickly, but I kept going up for the next few hours. This fact continued to trip me out throughout the 'coming up' portion of the trip. I had never snorted anything that I could feel still kicking in more than 45 minutes later. The time-line of the whole experience is a little off because I didn't look at the time at all. I was completely mind-blown for about the next 8-10 hours though. All I did for the most part was lay around in bed (the body load IS very high and I didn't feel like moving much). I spent much time staring out my window at my backyard. It was very peaceful looking out at the grass & trees & sunlight.
One of the most interesting effects of the drug was that I would forget what drug I was on. Sometimes I would think of myself as rolling (on MDMA), or I would be intensely reminded of LSD, and sometimes it was mushrooms. The best way that I can explain it is that it felt like MDMA (everything has a pleasant & very vivid texture), looked like LSD (the visual distortions and patterns reminded me very much of acid), and it thought like mushrooms (the wandering, pondering, meandering, adventure that they can lead you on). Now, I know that these effects aren't just described to the drugs that I've given examples for... but this is the exact thought I had when I was tripping on 2C-T-7.
Throughout the experience I smoked quite a bit of weed from a bong & the rest of the joints I had rolled previously (rolling a new one was well beyond me for almost the entire time). The effects of the marijuana seemed rather negligable but I'm sure they took some edge off the trip and added to the experience.
Now, usually when I trip on any substance once I eat I come down and the trip is no longer as intense at all. This was not the case this time around. I continued to peak until about 5 or 8am and around 10 I believe I was finally able to fall asleep.
I wish I could get more of this substance. It is possibly the best drug I have ever ingested. I'm not sure what the 2 year wait did to the drug, and if any chemists out there have any ideas I'd be glad to hear them. 2C-T-7 was an incredible experience that I will never forget and always treasure. Thinking back on it now, months later, I realize that I remember more from that trip than from when I usually trip on other substances (LSD,MDMA,shrooms). I've never done mescaline so I can't do any kind of comparison there, but I hear it has similar effects.

The Vegan Diet — A Complete Guide for Beginners
The vegan diet has become very popular.
Increasingly more people have decided to go vegan for ethical, environmental or health reasons.
When done right, such a diet may result in various health benefits, including a trimmer waistline and improved blood sugar control.
Nevertheless, a diet based exclusively on plant foods may, in some cases, increase the risk of nutrient deficiencies.
This article is a detailed beginner’s guide to the vegan diet. It aims to cover everything you need to know, so you can follow a vegan diet the right way.
Veganism is defined as a way of living that attempts to exclude all forms of animal exploitation and cruelty, whether for food, clothing or any other purpose.
For these reasons, the vegan diet is devoid of all animal products, including meat, eggs and dairy.
People choose to follow a vegan diet for various reasons.
These usually range from ethics to environmental concerns, but they can also stem from a desire to improve health.

Download This Documentation
|
The Beatnik Music Object Documentation is featured in a browsable form on the Beatnik Web site, but it is also available as a downloadable archive so you can browse, study, and experiment off-line. To download the latest version, go to the online documentation download page.
|
What This Documentation Offers
|
The various sections contained inside this documentation are described below. To link to the sections, use the contents navigation frame on the left.
- Tutorials
The step-by-step tutorials will guide you through a certain feature (or set of features). Typically, each step will increase in complexity, building towards a thorough understanding of the feature(s) being explained. Along with real examples that can be tested and experienced first-hand, the tutorials also offer copy-and-paste source code listings that can then be adapted for use in your own HTML pages.
- View Source
Unlike the tutorials, which are designed with a very definite goal of teaching about certain features, the sample code examples and demos are more loose and stand on their own as illustrations of specific things that can be accomplished with the Music Object API. If you have experience in programming and feel comfortable looking at code, you may hack into the code for the examples and demos to gain a better understanding of how they work and to reapply some of the principles, or even chunks of the code.
- Tools
Some tools, such as the Beatnik EMBEDifier, are provided to make common Beatnik authoring tasks a little easier. Using these tools will also help to familiarize you with authoring using the Music Object API, and you may eventually find yourself able to code by hand with complete confidence.
- General Reference
The General Reference section covers issues that are related to authoring for Beatnik, but which are not directly addressed in the Music Object Reference.
- Tips & Techniques
The Tips & Techniques section contains a wealth of information on special sonification techniques, such as the technique of using the Beatnik Player and Macromedia's Flash Player together in sonified content. This section also contains important information on issues to be aware of that may affect certain sonified content or certain approaches to sonification.
- Music Object Reference
The Music Object Reference pages offer comprehensive documentation of the Music Object API. The full set of powerful methods are explained, with syntax definitions and listings for variations of these methods. Parameters that are common to several methods are also described in greater detail. Once you understand the principles behind Beatnik authoring with the Music Object API, you will find yourself going back to the reference all the time.
- Music Object Extensions
Extended functionality is added to the core Music Object API through the use of optional extension modules. Guidelines for using Music Object extensions is available in this section, as well as complete references for all of the currently available extensions.
- Appendixes
The many appendixes that are offered with this documentation act as invaluable support information for the reference pages and the tutorials. Information that you would often like to view in table layout form is generally placed in the Appendixes section.
- Index
Every decent book has an index, and the Beatnik Music Object Documentation is no exception. But, unlike a conventional printed book, you will find this index conveniently hyperlinked to the exact places inside the documentation where the references occur. The index also offers a quick A-Z navigation bar to get you to the desired letter of the alphabet without delay.
While this documentation is quite comprehensive, it is still likely that there may be additional information or more up-to-date information available on the Beatnik Web site. You can use the following online resources in conjunction with this documentation...
- Music Object Central - Go to the Music Object Web site to access all the online support options that are provided for the Music Object API.

Syntax and Annotation Conventions
|
The Beatnik Music Object Documentation adheres to certain syntax and annotation conventions. When reading through the docs, consider the following points...
- All values, including legal values or value ranges for embedding properties, static properties, instance properties, and parameters are highlighted in a color that is different to normal text.
- Square brackets always denote optional items in an expression, whether it is a JavaScript method or an embedding property.
- Wherever sample code listings are provided, they will appear as preformatted text contained inside a highlighted block.
- As a convenience to authors, many of the methods of the Music Object API provide several variations, each of which is distinguished by needing a different set of parameters. When variations for a method are provided, they are listed below the explanation for the method. A listing for a method variation is made up of a syntax definition followed by an explanation. For more information on method variations, see the section Important Concepts: Method Variations.
|
Copy-and-Paste Considerations
|
In parts of this documentation, there will appear colored blocks of example code. In cases where this example code is offered as copy-and-paste templates for seeding your own sonified pages, a 'Copy-and-Paste' tag will appear in the top left corner of the block. Example code in blocks like this is deliberately shown as pre-formatted text so that copying and pasting will not add undesired line breaks in the middle of lines of JavaScript code, leading to possible JavaScript syntax errors in your pages. A side effect of this formatting, however, is that you may at times have to scroll horizontally to see the full code. It's more important to us that copying and pasting example code from this documentation provide you with usable pages.
|
Whenever you copy-and-paste sonification code from the documentation, you ABSOLUTELY MUST make sure to also use the very latest versions of the JavaScript files used by that sonification code.

Coca-Cola Christmas truck tour dates confirmed - find out if it's coming to your area
The full breakdown of the Coke truck tour dates have been announced for 2019 - meaning the Christmas holidays are most definitely coming soon
by David Coleman, Courtney Pochin, https://www.mirror.co.uk/authors/david-coleman/, https://www.facebook.com/courtneypochinmirror/?modal=admin_todo_tourThe Coca-Cola truck Christmas tour dates for this year have officially been confirmed.
Each year, when you hear the jingle and see the illuminated red truck drive across your television screen, you know that holidays are most certainly coming.
And if you're yet to see the jolly sight in person, then we've got some very good news for you - the full tour dates have finally been announced.
Coca-Cola has confirmed that the truck, which brings free drinks to cities across the UK, will be kicking off its trip around Britain on November 15.
It will visit 19 cities all over the country including Edinburgh, Leeds, London and Portsmouth.
This year, for the first time, Coca-Cola has also partnered with Crisis - the national charity for homelessness.
As part of the partnership, Coca-Cola has pledged to donate 10p for each can recycled by visitors at the truck tour.
Coca-Cola's iconic trucks were first created in 1995 by the W.B. Doner Agency and back then they were known as 'Christmas Caravans'.
The illuminated lorries were made more enchanting with special effects by the world-famous Industrial Light and Magic, the company behind the Star Wars films.
Images of Santa Claus adorned the sides of the trucks, which were created by artist Haddon Sundblom.
Since then, the iconic image has undergone various changes to become the fleet of trucks you see today.
Last year the truck visited 24 different locations on its tour, including Glasgow, Exeter, Newcastle, Bristol, Manchester and London.
The Coca-Cola Christmas Truck Tour schedule includes the following stops, which will be open from 12pm and the queue for entry will close at 7pm:

Kris Robbens, Marketing Director at Coca-Cola Great Britain and Ireland, said: “Christmas is all about sharing special moments with friends and loved ones and we’re looking forward to spreading the festive cheer across Great Britain again this year with our iconic Coca-Cola Christmas Truck Tour.
“Whilst Christmas is a moment of celebration, it’s also incredibly important to remember those that need support throughout the season.
"So, we’re really pleased to partner with Crisis and whilst guests at the tour enjoy a refreshing Coca-Cola zero sugar, when they recycle their can, they’ll be helping to support an amazing charity.”
Jon Sparkes, Chief Executive at Crisis, added: “Everyone in our society should have a safe and secure home.
"But right now, many people are denied this basic human need. None of us should be facing the prospect of a Christmas without a home.
“We know that ending homelessness is absolutely possible.
"We’re delighted to be working with Coca-Cola throughout its iconic Christmas Truck Tour and receiving a donation that will help us to continue to be there for the people that need us, both at Christmas and all year round.”


Description
This program uses the multiway tree class, IMultiwayTree, to demonstate the use of some
common functions of mutiway trees. A tree for the following expression is constructed:
(8+2) * (2+4) / (7-5) ==> result: 30
A subtree (with two operands and one operator) is calculated and replaced by the result.
Concept
This program is a sample to demonstrate the use of the multiway tree class, IMultiwayTree.
Task
This program creates and uses a multiway tree to demonstrate the use of some common functions of mutiway trees.

Actions, Resources, and Condition Keys for Data Pipeline
Data Pipeline (service prefix: datapipeline
) provides the following service-specific resources, actions, and condition context
keys for use in IAM permission policies.

Learn how to secure this service and its resources by using IAM permission policies.
Topics
Actions Defined by Data Pipeline
You can specify the following actions in the Action
element of an IAM policy statement. Use policies to grant permissions to perform
an operation in AWS. When you use an action in a policy, you usually allow or
deny access to the API operation or CLI command with the same name. However,
in some cases, a single action controls access to more than one operation. Alternatively,
some operations require several different actions.
The Resource column indicates whether each action supports resource-level permissions. If
there is no value for this column, you must specify all resources ("*") in the
Resource
element of your policy statement. If the column includes a resource type, then
you can specify an ARN of that type in a statement with that action. Required
resources are indicated in the table with an asterisk (*). If you specify a resource-level
permission ARN in a statement using this action, then it must be of this type.
Some actions support multiple resource types. If the resource type is optional (not
indicated as required), then you can choose to use one but not the other.
For details about the columns in the following table, see The Actions Table.
| Actions | Description | Access Level | Resource Types (*required) | Condition Keys | Dependent Actions |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ActivatePipeline | Validates the specified pipeline and starts processing pipeline tasks. If the pipeline does not pass validation, activation fails. | Write | |||
| AddTags | Adds or modifies tags for the specified pipeline. | Tagging | |||
| CreatePipeline | Creates a new, empty pipeline. | Write | |||
| DeactivatePipeline | Deactivates the specified running pipeline. | Write | |||
| DeletePipeline | Deletes a pipeline, its pipeline definition, and its run history. | Write | |||
| DescribeObjects | Gets the object definitions for a set of objects associated with the pipeline. | Read | |||
| DescribePipelines | Retrieves metadata about one or more pipelines. | List | |||
| EvaluateExpression | Task runners call EvaluateExpression to evaluate a string in the context of the specified object. | Read | |||
| GetAccountLimits | Description for GetAccountLimits | List | |||
| GetPipelineDefinition | Gets the definition of the specified pipeline. | Read | |||
| ListPipelines | Lists the pipeline identifiers for all active pipelines that you have permission to access. | List | |||
| PollForTask | Task runners call PollForTask to receive a task to perform from AWS Data Pipeline. | Write | |||
| PutAccountLimits | Description for PutAccountLimits | Write | |||
| PutPipelineDefinition | Adds tasks, schedules, and preconditions to the specified pipeline. | Write | |||
| QueryObjects | Queries the specified pipeline for the names of objects that match the specified set of conditions. | Read | |||
| RemoveTags | Removes existing tags from the specified pipeline. | Tagging | |||
| ReportTaskProgress | Task runners call ReportTaskProgress when assigned a task to acknowledge that it has the task. | Write | |||
| ReportTaskRunnerHeartbeat | Task runners call ReportTaskRunnerHeartbeat every 15 minutes to indicate that they are operational. | Write | |||
| SetStatus | Requests that the status of the specified physical or logical pipeline objects be updated in the specified pipeline. | Write | |||
| SetTaskStatus | Task runners call SetTaskStatus to notify AWS Data Pipeline that a task is completed and provide information about the final status. | Write | |||
| ValidatePipelineDefinition | Validates the specified pipeline definition to ensure that it is well formed and can be run without error. | Read |
Resources Defined by Data Pipeline
Data Pipeline does not support specifying a resource ARN in the Resource
element of an IAM policy statement. To allow access to Data Pipeline, specify
“Resource”: “*”
in your policy.
Condition Keys for Data Pipeline
Data Pipeline defines the following condition keys that can be used in the
Condition
element of an IAM policy. You can use these keys to further refine the conditions
under which the policy statement applies. For details about the columns in the
following table, see The Condition Keys Table.
To view the global condition keys that are available to all services, see Available Global Condition Keys in the IAM Policy Reference.
| Condition Keys | Description | Type |
|---|---|---|
| datapipeline:PipelineCreator | The IAM user that created the pipeline. | ARN |
| datapipeline:Tag | A customer-specified key/value pair that can be attached to a resource. | ARN |
| datapipeline:workerGroup | The name of a worker group for which a Task Runner retrieves work. | ARN |
