CHAPTER VIII
The grandest idea in the religion of the Vedanta is that we may reach the same goal by different paths; and these paths I have generalised into four, viz those of work, love, psychology, and knowledge. But you must, at the same time, remember that these divisions are not very marked and quite exclusive of each other. Each blends into the other. But according to the type which prevails, we name the divisions. It is not that you can find men who have no other faculty than that of work, nor that you can find men who are no more than devoted worshippers only, nor that there are men who have no more than mere knowledge. These divisions are made in accordance with the type or the tendency that may be seen to prevail in a man. We have found that, in the end, all these four paths converge and become one. All religions and all methods of work and worship lead us to one and the same goal.
I have already tried to point out that goal. It is freedom as I understand it. Everything that we perceive around us is struggling towards freedom, from the atom to the man, from the insentient, lifeless particle of matter to the highest existence on earth, the human soul. The whole universe is in fact the result of this struggle for freedom. In all combinations every particle is trying to go on its own way, to fly from the other particles; but the others are holding it in check. Our earth is trying to fly away from the sun, and the moon from the earth. Everything has a tendency to infinite dispersion. All that we see in the universe has for its basis this one struggle towards freedom; it is under the impulse of this tendency that the saint prays and the robber robs. When the line of action taken is not a proper one, we call it evil; and when the manifestation of it is proper and high, we call it good. But the impulse is the same, the struggle towards freedom. The saint is oppressed with the knowledge of his condition of bondage, and he wants to get rid of it; so he worships God. The thief is oppressed with the idea that he does not possess certain things, and he tries to get rid of that want, to obtain freedom from it; so he steals. Freedom is the one goal of all nature, sentient or insentient; and consciously or unconsciously, everything is struggling towards that goal. The freedom which the saint seeks is very different from that which the robber seeks; the freedom loved by the saint leads him to the enjoyment of infinite, unspeakable bliss, while that on which the robber has set his heart only forges other bonds for his soul.
There is to be found in every religion the manifestation of this struggle towards freedom. It is the groundwork of all morality, of unselfishness, which means getting rid of the idea that men are the same as their little body. When we see a man doing good work, helping others, it means that he cannot be confined within the limited circle of "me and mine". There is no limit to this getting out of selfishness. All the great systems of ethics preach absolute unselfishness as the goal. Supposing this absolute unselfishness can be reached by a man, what becomes of him? He is no more the little Mr. So-and-so; he has acquired infinite expansion. The little personality which he had before is now lost to him for ever; he has become infinite, and the attainment of this infinite expansion is indeed the goal of all religions and of all moral and philosophical teachings. The personalist, when he hears this idea philosophically put, gets frightened. At the same time, if he preaches morality, he after all teaches the very same idea himself. He puts no limit to the unselfishness of man. Suppose a man becomes perfectly unselfish under the personalistic system, how are we to distinguish him from the perfected ones in other system? He has become one with the universe and to become that is the goal of all; only the poor personalist has not the courage to follow out his own reasoning to its right conclusion. Karma-Yoga is the attaining through unselfish work of that freedom which is the goal of all human nature. Every selfish action, therefore, retards our reaching the goal, and every unselfish action takes us towards the goal; that is why the only definition that can be given of morality is this: That which is selfish is immoral, and that which is unselfish is moral.
But, if you come to details, the matter will not be seen to be quite so simple. For instance, environment often makes the details different as I have already mentioned. The same action under one set of circumstances may be unselfish, and under another set quite selfish. So we can give only a general definition, and leave the details to be worked out by taking into consideration the differences in time, place, and circumstances. In one country one kind of conduct is considered moral, and in another the very same is immoral, because the circumstances differ. The goal of all nature is freedom, and freedom is to be attained only by perfect unselfishness; every thought, word, or deed that is unselfish takes us towards the goal, and, as such, is called moral. That definition, you will find, holds good in every religion and every system of ethics. In some systems of thought morality is derived from a Superior Being — God. If you ask why a man ought to do this and not that, their answer is: "Because such is the command of God." But whatever be the source from which it is derived, their code of ethics also has the same central idea — not to think of self but to give up self. And yet some persons, in spite of this high ethical idea, are frightened at the thought of having to give up their little personalities. We may ask the man who clings to the idea of little personalities to consider the case of a person who has become perfectly unselfish, who has no thought for himself, who does no deed for himself, who speaks no word for himself, and then say where his "himself" is. That "himself" is known to him only so long as he thinks, acts, or speaks for himself. If he is only conscious of others, of the universe, and of the all, where is his "himself"? It is gone for ever.
Karma-Yoga, therefore, is a system of ethics and religion intended to attain freedom through unselfishness, and by good works. The Karma-Yogi need not believe in any doctrine whatever. He may not believe even in God, may not ask what his soul is, nor think of any metaphysical speculation. He has got his own special aim of realising selflessness; and he has to work it out himself. Every moment of his life must be realisation, because he has to solve by mere work, without the help of doctrine or theory, the very same problem to which the Jnāni applies his reason and inspiration and the Bhakta his love.
Now comes the next question: What is this work? What is this doing good to the world? Can we do good to the world? In an absolute sense, no; in a relative sense, yes. No permanent or everlasting good can be done to the world; if it could be done, the world would not be this world. We may satisfy the hunger of a man for five minutes, but he will be hungry again. Every pleasure with which we supply a man may be seen to be momentary. No one can permanently cure this ever-recurring fever of pleasure and pain. Can any permanent happiness be given to the world? In the ocean we cannot raise a wave without causing a hollow somewhere else. The sum total of the good things in the world has been the same throughout in its relation to man's need and greed. It cannot be increased or decreased. Take the history of the human race as we know it today. Do we not find the same miseries and the same happiness, the same pleasures and pains, the same differences in position?  All this was just the same with the Egyptians, the Greeks, and the Romans in ancient times as it is with the Americans today. So far as history is known, it has always been the same; yet at the same time we find that, running along with all these incurable differences of pleasure and pain, there has ever been the struggle to alleviate them. Every period of history has given birth to thousands of men and women who have worked hard to smooth the passage of life for others. And how far have they succeeded? We can only play at driving the ball from one place to another. We take away pain from the physical plane, and it goes to the mental one. It is like that picture in Dante's hell where the misers were given a mass of gold to roll up a hill. Every time they rolled it up a little, it again rolled down. All our talks about the millennium are very nice as school-boys' stories, but they are no better than that. All nations that dream of the millennium also think that, of all peoples in the world, they will have the best of it then for themselves. This is the wonderfully unselfish idea of the millennium!
We cannot add happiness to this world; similarly, we cannot add pain to it either. The sum total of the energies of pleasure and pain displayed here on earth will be the same throughout. We just push it from this side to the other side, and from that side to this, but it will remain the same, because to remain so is its very nature. This ebb and flow, this rising and falling, is in the world's very nature; it would be as logical to hold otherwise as to say that we may have life without death.  The lamp is constantly burning out, and that is its life. If you want to have life, you have to die every moment for it. Life and death are only different expressions of the same thing looked at from different standpoints; they are the falling and the rising of the same wave, and the two form one whole. One looks at the "fall" side and becomes a pessimist another looks at the "rise" side and becomes an optimist. When a boy is going to school and his father and mother are taking care of him, everything seems blessed to him; his wants are simple, he is a great optimist. But the old man, with his varied experience, becomes calmer and is sure to have his warmth considerably cooled down. So, old nations, with signs of decay all around them, are apt to be less hopeful than new nations. There is a proverb in India: "A thousand years a city, and a thousand years a forest." This change of city into forest and vice versa is going on everywhere, and it makes people optimists or pessimists according to the side they see of it.
The next idea we take up is the idea of equality. These millennium ideas have been great motive powers to work. Many religions preach this as an element in them — that God is coming to rule the universe, and that then there will be no difference at all in conditions. The people who preach this doctrine are mere fanatics, and fanatics are indeed the sincerest of mankind. Christianity was preached just on the basis of the fascination of this fanaticism, and that is what made it so attractive to the Greek and the Roman slaves. They believed that under the millennial religion there would be no more slavery, that there would be plenty to eat and drink; and, therefore, they flocked round the Christian standard. Those who preached the idea first were of course ignorant fanatics, but very sincere. In modern times this millennial aspiration takes the form of equality — of liberty, equality, and fraternity. This is also fanaticism. True equality has never been and never can be on earth. How can we all be equal here? This impossible kind of equality implies total death. What makes this world what it is? Lost balance. In the primal state, which is called chaos, there is perfect balance. How do all the formative forces of the universe come then? By struggling, competition, conflict. Suppose that all the particles of matter were held in equilibrium, would there be then any process of creation? We know from science that it is impossible. Disturb a sheet of water, and there you find every particle of the water trying to become calm again, one rushing against the other; and in the same way all the phenomena which we call the universe — all things therein — are struggling to get back to the state of perfect balance. Again a disturbance comes, and again we have combination and creation. Inequality is the very basis of creation. At the same time the forces struggling to obtain equality are as much a necessity of creation as those which destroy it.
Absolute equality, that which means a perfect balance of all the struggling forces in all the planes, can never be in this world. Before you attain that state, the world will have become quite unfit for any kind of life, and no one will be there. We find, therefore, that all these ideas of the millennium and of absolute equality are not only impossible but also that, if we try to carry them out, they will lead us surely enough to the day of destruction. What makes the difference between man and man? It is largely the difference in the brain. Nowadays no one but a lunatic will say that we are all born with the same brain power. We come into the world with unequal endowments; we come as greater men or as lesser men, and there is no getting away from that pre-natally determined condition. The American Indians were in this country for thousands of years, and a few handfuls of your ancestors came to their land. What difference they have caused in the appearance of the country! Why did not the Indians make improvements and build cities, if all were equal? With your ancestors a different sort of brain power came into the land, different bundles of past impressions came, and they worked out and manifested themselves. Absolute non-differentiation is death. So long as this world lasts, differentiation there will and must be, and the millennium of perfect equality will come only when a cycle of creation comes to its end. Before that, equality cannot be. Yet this idea of realising the millennium is a great motive power. Just as inequality is necessary for creation itself, so the struggle to limit it is also necessary. If there were no struggle to become free and get back to God, there would be no creation either. It is the difference between these two forces that determines the nature of the motives of men. There will always be these motives to work, some tending towards bondage and others towards freedom.
This world's wheel within wheel is a terrible mechanism; if we put our hands in it, as soon as we are caught we are gone. We all think that when we have done a certain duty, we shall be at rest; but before we have done a part of that duty, another is already in waiting. We are all being dragged along by this mighty, complex world-machine. There are only two ways out of it; one is to give up all concerns with the machine, to let it go and stand aside, to give up our desires. That is very easy to say, but is almost impossible to do. I do not know whether in twenty millions of men one can do that. The other way is to plunge into the world and learn the secret of work, and that is the way of Karma-Yoga. Do not fly away from the wheels of the world-machine, but stand inside it and learn the secret of work. Through proper work done inside, it is also possible to come out. Through this machinery itself is the way out.
We have now seen what work is. It is a part of natures foundation, and goes on always. Those that believe in God understand this better, because they know that God is not such an incapable being as will need our help. Although this universe will go on always, our goal is freedom, our goal is unselfishness; and according to Karma-Yoga, that goal is to be reached through work. All ideas of making the world perfectly happy may be good as motive powers for fanatics; but we must know that fanaticism brings forth as much evil as good. The Karma-Yogi asks why you require any motive to work other than the inborn love of freedom. Be beyond the common worldly motives. "To work you have the right, but not to the fruits thereof." Man can train himself to know and to practice that, says the Karma-Yogi. When the idea of doing good becomes a part of his very being, then he will not seek for any motive outside. Let us do good because it is good to do good; he who does good work even in order to get to heaven binds himself down, says the Karma-Yogi. Any work that is done with any the least selfish motive, instead of making us free, forges one more chain for our feet.
So the only way is to give up all the fruits of work, to be unattached to them. Know that this world is not we, nor are we this world; that we are really not the body; that we really do not work. We are the Self, eternally at rest and at peace. Why should we be bound by anything? It is very good to say that we should be perfectly non-attached, but what is the way to do it? Every good work we do without any ulterior motive, instead of forging a new chain, will break one of the links in the existing chains. Every good thought that we send to the world without thinking of any return, will be stored up there and break one link in the chain, and make us purer and purer, until we become the purest of mortals. Yet all this may seem to be rather quixotic and too philosophical, more theoretical than practical. I have read many arguments against the Bhagavad-Gita, and many have said that without motives you cannot work. They have never seen unselfish work except under the influence of fanaticism, and, therefore, they speak in that way.
Let me tell you in conclusion a few words about one man who actually carried this teaching of Karma-Yoga into practice. That man is Buddha. He is the one man who ever carried this into perfect practice. All the prophets of the world, except Buddha, had external motives to move them to unselfish action. The prophets of the world, with this single exception, may be divided into two sets, one set holding that they are incarnations of God come down on earth, and the other holding that they are only messengers from God; and both draw their impetus for work from outside, expect reward from outside, however highly spiritual may be the language they use. But Buddha is the only prophet who said, "I do not care to know your various theories about God. What is the use of discussing all the subtle doctrines about the soul? Do good and be good. And this will take you to freedom and to whatever truth there is." He was, in the conduct of his life, absolutely without personal motives; and what man worked more than he? Show me in history one character who has soared so high above all. The whole human race has produced but one such character, such high philosophy, such wide sympathy. This great philosopher, preaching the highest philosophy, yet had the deepest sympathy for the lowest of animals, and never put forth any claims for himself. He is the ideal Karma-Yogi, acting entirely without motive, and the history of humanity shows him to have been the greatest man ever born; beyond compare the greatest combination of heart and brain that ever existed, the greatest soul-power that has even been manifested. He is the first great reformer the world has seen. He was the first who dared to say, "Believe not because some old manuscripts are produced, believe not because it is your national belief, because you have been made to believe it from your childhood; but reason it all out, and after you have analysed it, then, if you find that it will do good to one and all, believe it, live up to it, and help others to live up to it." He works best who works without any motive, neither for money, nor for fame, nor for anything else; and when a man can do that, he will be a Buddha, and out of him will come the power to work in such a manner as will transform the world. This man represents the very highest ideal of Karma-Yoga.

C# Events
An event provides an extensibility point to a class. An event lets a publisher notify subscribers when something happens. Typically the publisher is a vendor supplied UI widget, and the subscriber is the code you are writing.
There are two stages to using an event:
- Attach your method to the event.
- When the event fires your method gets called.
There are some rules about events which are useful to understand:
- An event may only be invoked from the class which declares it.
- Outside that class the only things you can do to the event is add and remove methods (
+=
and-=
). - The event can have multiple methods attached to it, which will all be called when the event fires.
- The event may have zero methods attached. So if you raise an event yourself, you must check for null before calling it.
The following code is a contrived example which illustrates using an event. Say you have a UI button which raises the ButtonClick
event. You want to display some text when the button is clicked:
using System;
using MbUnit.Framework;
namespace EventDemo
{
[TestFixture]
public class EventTest
{
public class UiButton
{
public event EventHandler ButtonClick;
public virtual void OnButtonClick()
{
if (ButtonClick != null)
{
ButtonClick(this, new EventArgs());
}
}
}
public class CodeBehind
{
public UiButton widget = new UiButton();
public string TextBoxText { get; set; }
public void PageLoad()
{
widget.ButtonClick += HandleOnClick;
}
private void HandleOnClick(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
TextBoxText = "ButtonClicked";
}
}
[Test]
public void Framework()
{
CodeBehind behind = new CodeBehind();
behind.PageLoad();
Assert.AreEqual(null, behind.TextBoxText);
behind.widget.OnButtonClick();
Assert.AreEqual("ButtonClicked", behind.TextBoxText);
}
}
}
If this were real code you would only be writing the CodeBehind
class. The UiButton
and Framework
code would be hidden away in the vendor library. This is one of the aspects which I think makes understanding events tricky; you typically only see a small part of what's going on.
In the PageLoad
method the HandleOnClick
method is attached to the ButtonClick
event. There are a number of approaches for attaching a method to the event:
- Attach a named method programmatically:
widget.ButtonClick += HandleOnClick;
- Attach an anonymous method programmatically:
widget.ButtonClick += (Object sender, EventArgs e) => { TextBoxText = "ButtonClicked"; };
-
Attach a named method declaratively, on an ASP.NET page in-front:
<asp:UiButton id="widget" runat="server" OnButtonClick="HandleOnClick" />
The signature of the event-handling method must match the signature of the event-handler delegate. So in the example, the HandleOnClick
method must match the method signature of the EventHandler
delegate:
public delegate void EventHandler(Object sender, EventArgs e);
The event handler delegate will always look similar to this. The only variation is in the type of the EventArgs
parameter. This is because the delegate follows the following conventions:
- The return type is void.
- The method takes two parameters.
- The first parameter is the object which raised the event. Its type is object and is not null.
- The second parameter is the event arguments. Its either the
EventArgs
class or a derivative of it, and is not null.
These conventions don't have to be followed. Take the first one - the return type should be void. Before I read up about events, I defined my own event with a custom delegate which returned an int
. It would have gone badly wrong though, if another developer added a second method to the event. In that case I shouldn't have used an event at all - just a straight delegate would have been fine.

jQuery: Exercise 2
Making a Video Player in jQuery
In this exercise, you will use jQuery instead of the DOM API to create the same list of links you made in Exercise
1 .
Start with your own solution from Exercise 1.
Add the following code to your
 to pull in jQuery from a CDN:

Next, replace the existing code with jQuery - any DOM manipulation can be done with jQuery instead. If you're
not sure how to do something with jQuery, google for "X with jQuery" and you will likely find the jQuery docs
or StackOverflow questions.
Make sure that you use your browser developer tools to make debugging easier while working on this. Check for
errors, and use console.log() to figure out how far your code makes it, and what the values of your variables are
along the way.

I'm A Celebrity's Caitlin Jenner 'banned' from spilling Kardashian family secret
I’m A Celebrity’s Caitlyn Jenner has reportedly been ‘banned’ from spilling any family secrets about the Kardashians during her time in the jungle – despite talking about Kim in last night’s episode.
On Tuesday night, the former Olympian spoke candidly about Kim Kardashian not going to university and how she set up her first company, as well as her relationship with Kanye West.
Talking about how Kim got the business bug, Caitlyn recalled: ‘Kimberly never went to college. The minute she left high school she started businesses. She had her first business out of the closet.’
She continued: ‘Kimberly would go into the ladies’ closets. Some of these are like 2,000 square feet – they’re huge. Beverly Hills ladies.
‘They figure out what they want to get rid of and Kimberly has an eBay site… Kimberly sells them for them and gets 30% commission.’
However according to former campmate Nicola Mclean, Caitlyn won’t be able to reveal any good family gossip throughout I’m A Celeb due to ‘legal reasons’.

Nicola, who was a campmate in the jungle in 2008, also thinks legal issues could stop Nadine Coyle from talking about her time in Girls Aloud.
She told Closer magazine: ‘As much as we’re hoping for exciting Kardashian or Cheryl gossip, it might not be the case, because lawyers watch each episode before it airs to make sure the people campmates are talking about aren’t defamed.
‘I was in Celebrity Big Brother with Ray J – Kim’s ex, with whom she did the sex tape – and he told us loads of stuff, but it never aired because of legal reasons.’
Kris Jenner has also reportedly been worried about how much Caitlyn will say about the Kardashian/Jenner family
While we’re desperate to know all the family’s tea, such as if the campmate has beef with Khloe Kardashian and whether or not Drake is dating Kylie, the momager is secretly panicking that her ex’s time in the jungle could spell disaster.
‘Ever since Kris found out about Caitlyn’s massive fee she’s getting paid for the jungle, she’s been concerned Caitlyn is being paid to spill secrets about the family,’ a source revealed.
Advertisement Advertisement
‘Kris doesn’t care what Caitlyn says about her or their marriage – after all, she had her book and her TV show – but she’s scared and horrified about Caitlyn damaging Kim or Kylie’s brands by telling campmates about their off-screen private lives.’
The insider added to The Sun that Kris fears that Caitlyn will ‘talk about how awful her life married into the Kardashian family’ to gain ‘sympathy’ after clashing with fellow campmates.
Metro.co.uk has reached out to Kris’ rep for comment.
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! returns tonight at 9pm on ITV.

my $cookies_hashref = crush_cookie($headers->header('Cookie'));
Cookie::Baker provides simple cookie string generator and parser.
This module tries to use the Cookie::Baker::XS manpage's crush_cookie by default. If this fails, it will use Cookie::Baker's pure Perl crush_cookie.
There is no XS implementation of bake_cookie yet.
my $cookie = bake_cookie('foo','val'); my $cookie = bake_cookie('foo', { value => 'val', path => "test", domain => '.example.com', expires => '+24h' } );
Generates a cookie string for an HTTP response header.
The first argument is the cookie's name and the second argument is a plain string or hash reference that
can contain keys such as value
, domain
, expires
, path
, httponly
, secure
,
max-age
.
Cookie's value
Cookie's domain.
Cookie's expires date time. Several formats are supported
expires => time + 24 * 60 * 60 # epoch time expires => 'Wed, 03-Nov-2010 20:54:16 GMT' expires => '+30s' # 30 seconds from now expires => '+10m' # ten minutes from now expires => '+1h' # one hour from now expires => '-1d' # yesterday (i.e. "ASAP!") expires => '+3M' # in three months expires => '+10y' # in ten years time expires => 'now' #immediately
Cookie's path.
If true, sets HttpOnly flag. false by default.
If true, sets secure flag. false by default.
Parses cookie string and returns a hashref.
my $cookies_hashref = crush_cookie($headers->header('Cookie')); my $cookie_value = $cookies_hashref->{cookie_name}
CPAN already has many cookie related modules. But there is no simple cookie string generator and parser module.

Software engineering is an engineering discipline whose focus is the cost-effective development of high-quality software systems. The emphasis in software engineering is on both words, software and engineering. An engineer is able to build a high-quality product using off-the-shelf components and integrating them under time and budget constraints.
This course will cover key techniques for building reliable software. These include: modeling, design patterns, code refactoring, testing, symbolic execution, as well as static and dynamic program analysis. To gain a deeper understanding of how to apply these techniques in practice, the course will also involve two hands-on projects based on the principles introduced in the lectures.
Please see the project (part II) description here.

D.7 Solaris
These results come
from
Solaris Version 8 for Intel (released February 2002). Solaris 9 was
available when I started these tests, but Sun no longer makes it
freely available. I tweaked the kernel by adding these lines to
/etc/system:
set rlim_fd_max = 8192
set msgsys:msginfo_msgmax=8192
set msgsys:msginfo_msgmnb=8192
set msgsys:msginfo_msgmni=40

set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=2097152
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=32
set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=16
Table D-5 and Figure D-5
summarize the Solaris results. This is the only other operating
system, in addition to Linux, in which the aufs
storage scheme works well. Interestingly, both
aufs and diskd have about
the same performance on Solaris, although the actual numbers are much
lower than on Linux.

Mushrooms - P. cubensis & Cannabis
I was already out of my mind on mushrooms when my buddy Randall stopped by and proposed a weekend camping trip, chock full of weed and alcohol. I figured ‘outback in the woods, sounds like some shrooms are in order. The next day I acquired an eighth. We checked some local campgrounds, all of which were practically packed, as it was Memorial Day weekend. The plans were all set, the camper was packed, so off we went into some wooded area behind a pasture, not the ideal camping locale but an isolated wilderness area nonetheless.
Once we unpacked and settled, people were showing up, among them my friend Pedro and his two visiting college buddies Chas and Dan. Everything was in excellent order; the drinking commenced. Randall had started a fire despite it being fairly light still. I nestled a chair near it and happily ate my eighth, Beth, a high school and college acquaintance of mine, inquiring of them throughout. 'What do they do for you?' she asked. I replied to the effect that they were psychedelic but really somewhat inexplicable, 'By far the funnest drug I have ever done.' I sat by the fire then walked around, talking to people I hadn’t seen for a while, conversing on various topics, roaming to random subjects.
Around T+1:00 I was still relatively sober. I was wrapped with the low range of a wonderfully familiar body high. I decided a bit of weed might be nice. I took a few puffs of a joint circulating near the camper, leaning against it lazily desperate for support. 'How ya feeling Shoke?'
'Not real high. I’m not tripping at all.' This was strange I determined but most likely related to my consumption of another eighth two days prior. I had that awkward sense that in some capacity my consciousness was unusual as if some unidentifiable facet has changed but certainly no visuals. My head was exceptionally lucid, a clear palate upon which ideas could be easily drawn, considered, examined, and understood with seemingly accelerated thought.
At roughly T+1:30 night was descending. As if directly correlated, I began to feel relaxing electric numbness throughout my body. It expectedly elevated as darkness deepened. I put myself by the fire where I felt compelled to spend the majority of the evening. Around T+2:00 I decided that the mellow flowing of the grass and gentle benign sense of personal and environmental objectivity were simply not enough. As such I bought another eighth and ate it immediately. I remember Chas smiling wryly as he produced their earlier procured mushrooms, 'You booming bastard.' His statement appeared the general consensus among Pedro and Dan who in turn consumed generous amounts.
We needed to run to the store for reasons beyond my recollection. Once inside the gas station, the drug announced itself as fully in charge. I caught myself staring at a row of chips, yes those deliciously packed morsels, and went outside to avoid arousing suspicion. I was blissfully exploring a flow of thoughts concerning various aspects of civilized life in my town while fixing my gaze firmly on the ground. Occasionally I would glance up and watch cars, utterly fascinated with the individuals inside each passing vehicle. I wondered at and imagined their respective itineraries. Where were they all headed? What were they all doing, thinking? What manner of concerns pressed upon them? I was pondering my cigarette while sitting on the curb when everyone FINALLY emerged.
During our return to the camper, we traversed a thigh high pasture. A coyote’s howl sounded relatively nearby against the constant throbbing backdrop of the indomitable frog army. I felt a connection to all of the life surrounding me, even hitting my legs as I strode. Again we came to the fire, the blazing beacon lying at the heart of any good camp.
Right around this point I hit the peak. I remember spending an enormous length of time thoroughly engrossed by the flowing liquid sky and one captivating tree.  Indeed it was the coolest thing I have ever seen. Each branch ended in a geometric cluster glowing with radial neon blue tubing along the shape’s edges. These figures, quite defined in the darkness, were swaying, undulating, and twisting dramatically.
Our individual journeys were suffused with bowls as well as commentary and discussion on diverse subjects and perspectives. The only thing not totally beyond my ability to recall was Dan’s assertion of how horrible the Western approach was when expanding and encountering new peoples, truly believing that these fellow human beings needed to be taught something, that they lacked the requisites for salvation. How true! What horrid audacity and arrogance still abounds today!
As I roamed through a ethereal cognitive and physiological paradise, I became aware of, and was eventually overcome by, the innate depth and remarkable beauty of the mundane, so routinely ignored. I’ve always felt that psychedelics allow one to view the world with wonderment similar to that of initial childhood experience, or as Huxley put it, '..Adam on the eve of creation…' After an unknown duration of similar occurrence, I split another eighth with Pedro. An hour or so later I decided to leave at around 4:00 a.m. The tripping trio remained awake for several more hours. I got in my car and headed for home.
[Erowid Note: Driving while intoxicated or tripping is dangerous and irresponsible because it endangers other people. Don't do it!]
The sky gleamed and glittered as the sparkling street stretched before me. I had little difficulty driving, but I would not recommend it as I was constantly forcing myself to ignore the wavy pulsating dashboard. I arrived at my house, drank some water, and immediately got into bed.
On previous trips I had been able to shed some of my precluded notions of the concept of self, becoming objective to a degree on the subject, but now when I shut my eyes it was something entirely different altogether. In the dark infinite space behind my eyeballs, I lost the sensation of being, as if my mind and body ceased to exist as I know them. I became an inert inactive intelligence. This lack of concrete existence united with the knowledge that I was still an awareness of some form. With this singularity of all things present, I perceived my essence as nothing and everything.
I observed bits and pieces of vaguely familiar stories coalescing, like watching dreams form. One was of a classroom with desks, children, and a teacher all suspended in the void. The stories were short, disassociated, and on the surface entirely random, yet they possessed a divinely ineffable cohesion. Every now and again I would open my eyes to ascertain whether or not I was still alive, finding the transition between the two worlds so intense that I would be fiercely gritting my teeth.
In time I dwelt on existence and the tree. I realized the utter transience of all things. Everything I’ve ever known or been will end; that magnificent tree forever growing upward is solely a testimony of a doomed struggle persisting until it returns to earth. We are all engaged in a hopeless battle that will surely draw to an eternal curtain closing. I will be buried in the ground forever. However, these contemplations didn’t distress me. They were instead met with overwhelming acceptance and affirmation. Permanence breeds sacred security and complacency. The desire and antithesis of life. I fell asleep two hours later to related musings.

What is BEM in CSS?
Have you ever worked on an application with one huge CSS file and found that when you changed a style rule in one place, something unexpected happened somewhere else? I had this problem a lot in my early days of front end development. It was frustrating! So what can you do to stop this from happening?
You need to scope your style rules!
To scope your CSS means to encapsulate style rules in a systematic way so that they apply to one particular chunk of HTML only. CSS-in-JS solutions such as Styled Components or CSS modules that ship with front end frameworks have largely solved this problem by scoping styles to your component templates as standard. This means you don't need to worry about classes in one component affecting the styling of another component — even if you use the same class name. Nice!
But what if you're just starting out, and you want to focus on building out pure CSS in a systematic way without getting bogged down with CSS-in-JS?
Working in pure CSS
In order to scope your styles in pure CSS, the aim is to declare your CSS classes specifically and solely for individual HTML components. Style rules should be purposefully verbose and self-documenting, without relying on inheritance or default browser behaviour. This type of system discourages the use of utility classes reused across multiple components because this is where you can run into the problems described at the beginning of the post. If you change the style properties of a utility class used in multiple components, it could affect the layout of your whole application — sometimes with very undesirable results!
Let's take a look at how we can harness the power of a system like BEM.
What does BEM stand for?
BEM stands for block, element, modifier, and it's a super-handy system to help you scope CSS style properties to blocks of HTML. What's more, it encourages you to make your HTML and CSS descriptive and self-documenting — helping identify the purpose and intended function of the CSS classes in the code itself.
Other class naming conventions exist alongside BEM to help you scope styles when writing HTML and CSS — such as OOCSS and SMACSS. You can even roll your own system! But the most important thing to remember is to use a system, stick to that system, and make it work for you.
So, how do we work with BEM?
Block, element, modifier
Let's take a look at the building blocks of BEM.
Block: a chunk of HTML to which you want to scope styles
.block { }
Element: any element inside that block, name-spaced with your block name
.block__elementOne { } .block__elementTwo { }
Modifier: a flag to modify styles of an existing element, without creating a separate CSS class
.block__elementOne--modifier { }
BEM syntax conventions
- Use one or two underscores to separate the block name from the element name
- Use one or two dashes to separate the element name and its modifier
- Use descriptive class names in camelCase
BEM in context
In context, your HTML using the above class names might look like this:

This is an element inside a block.

This is an element inside a block, with a modifier.

In a real-life example, with more realistic class names, this might look like:

This is a paragraph inside a container.

 This is a paragraph inside a container, with a modifier that adds bold styling.

Using the fully-declarative approach, where you don't rely on inheritance or default browser styles, your CSS classes might look like this:
.container { display: block; margin: 1rem auto; padding: 1rem; box-sizing: border-box; } .container__paragraph { color: #000000; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1rem; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.2; margin: 0 0 1rem 0; } .container__paragraph--bold { font-weight: bold; }
Notice how any default browser behaviour we might take for granted has been declared in the above classes — such as display: block on the .container
 element. This is an extremely useful way to ensure that if you need to switch up the HTML elements in your components — for example swapping the
 (default display: block) for a  (default display: inline) in the above example — the resulting styles of your components are not affected.
Wrapping up
Using BEM is not going to solve all your CSS problems (good luck with centring those
 elements in your layouts!), but it can help you take a step in the right direction to make your CSS readable, descriptive, and safe from any unexpected results. Again, the most important thing to remember is to use a system, stick to that system, and make it work for you.

Your application may have more complex rules for determining an element's mins and maxes. This demo demonstrates how to use the `onResize` handler to accomplish this.
In this grid, all elements are allowed a max width of 2 if the height < 3, and a min width of 2 if the height >= 3.

In early 2004, a pair of explorers began their journey across Mars. The Mars Exploration Rovers Spirit and Opportunity – MER-A and MER-B, respectively – rolled over opposite sides of the planet. The goal of the rovers: follow the water, and with it, decipher the history of Mars.
For all of its ocher shades, Mars is cold. On a summer day, temperatures reach only about -10º Fahrenheit. This is troublesome for robots, especially when their solar-powered electronics could freeze.
“That was the key thing: you gotta keep them warm or else circuits break in that cold environment,” Keith Milam, associate professor of geology, said.
As one of the scientists on the MER missions, Milam was aware of the logistics of keeping rovers alive in the cold.
“As Martian winter is coming, find a slope, park on (it) with the solar panels angled towards ... the Sun,” Milam, who is a professor of the reporter, said. “If you couldn’t get into that position … the onboard batteries wouldn’t last the martian winter.”
Unable to warm itself, Spirit froze in 2010.
Opportunity recently joined its companion after losing power during a dust storm in the summer of 2018. The last message received from the rover was “my battery is low and it is getting dark,” or at least that’s how the transmission was translated.
“I think it’s really been personified,” Emily Simpson, a senior studying geology, said. “It’s sad that it’s gone, but it’s not the end of (Mars exploration).”
Riley Scott | FOR THE POST
Opportunity pokes out its head
A common theme of endings to Mars missions seems to be dust storms coating the solar panels and choking the mission prematurely. That is, of course, if one can consider a mission running 60 times longer than expected to be premature.
“We actually knew fairly early on that at least one of the rovers might go on for a while,” Milam said.
He was involved with the mapping of Spirit’s landing site, Gusev crater, where dust devils had been seen from orbit as dark streaks where the whirlwind scoured dust off the surface. As the dust devils neared Spirit, accumulations on its solar panels were wiped clean.
Opportunity was less fortunate, but the prevailing winds in the rover’s landing site, Meridiani Planum, helped keep its panels clear.
While wind was good for mission length, the same could not be said for the scientists working on it. For the MERs, NASA brought in teams for three weeks in Pasadena, California, with one week off. This was realistic for a mission lasting about 90 days, but with the wind, the missions could potentially last several years.
“(We were) all planning for maybe a few months of activity, but now what? These rovers could literally outlive some of the people on the mission,” Milam recalled.
Longevity aside, the MER missions provided invaluable information of the physical processes on Mars – in particular, how, and when, water was present near the surface. The craters interspersed within Meridiani Planum punched through the martian surface, exposing the older rock underneath. The layering of sediment in Meridiani gave scientists insight into the transition from an early, wet Mars to the desert Mars seen today.
Those findings were secondary to the primary mission, which was to find the iron oxide, hematite, that generally forms in the presence of water. As water moves through the porous sandstone, small spherules of hematite can form and grow to about the size of a BB. As the sandstone weathers away, the more resilient iron oxide is left behind, along with small volcanic rocks. The collection of spherules, gray against a ruddy background, look like tiny blueberries.
Opportunity and the other Mars explorers laid the foundation for subsequent missions. Curiosity operates in much the same way as MER-B, using its onboard instruments to collect data in search of hydrous minerals. The Mars 2020 rover follows suit and, once it lands, will look at salty and possibly acidic water and water ice, Simpson said. Both rovers differ from the MERs in that they are powered by radioactive decay of polonium, rather than by solar panels.
“Curiosity has the potential, as long as its hardware can take it, of lasting much longer than Spirit or Opportunity,” Milam said.
Exploring Mars has afforded planetologists the chance to put their hypotheses to the test with a rapidity never seen before.
“In planetary science, very often, people write about faraway places that spacecraft, in your lifetime, will never visit,” Milam said.
In his case, his interpretations of Gusev crater were scrutinized mere weeks after publication. The pay off, Milam said, was to be the one to download whatever data came back from the rovers, knowing he was the first living thing to view that piece of Mars.
“There’s something special about that,” he mused.
As for the rovers themselves, and indeed all Mars missions, the question remains: what will be done once humans visit the red planet? Simpson is of the opinion of placing the rovers in a martian museum.
“It won’t be fresh in [colonizers’] minds, so it’s important to talk about what we were able to learn and what the scientists … were able to accomplish.” Simpson said.
Milam holds a different opinion, one more sentimental. He believes that the rovers should be left as they are – conserved, not preserved.
“You shouldn’t have people traipsing around [the landing sites],” Milam said, nor should they be taken back to Earth. “They were built for Mars, they’re Martians. They need to be there.”

This is the simplest task because you already changed the response result by adding remove_id function to the list of View formater in representing_data
def format_address(response, obj):
obj['address'] = "/address/{0}".format(obj['address'])
return obj
Sure this method will work but if you get a close look on how ForeignKeyField (IntForeign inherit from this class) You will see that the ForeignKeyField is filled with th options parameter you gave at the foreign key creation. You can so write:
def format_foreign_key(response, obj):
from rest_api_framework.models.fields import ForeignKeyField
for f in response.model.get_fields():
if isinstance(f, ForeignKeyField):
obj[f.name] = "/{0}/{1}/".format(f.options["foreign"]["table"],
obj[f.name])
return obj
This function can then be used in all your project when you need to translate a foreignkey into a meaning full ressource uri
For now, you can add this function to the list of formaters in your UserEndPoint views:
view = {"response_class": JsonResponse,
"options": {"formaters": ["add_ressource_uri",
remove_id,
format_foreign_key
]}}
curl -i http://localhost:5000/users/
HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json
Content-Length: 226

"object_list": [
{
"address": "/address/1/",
"first_name": "Super",
"last_name": "Dupont",
"ressource_uri": "/users/1/"
}
]
}
Because you hide the internal implementation of your API to your user, you have to give him a way to interact with your API.
To do so, you need to create a formater, exactly like you have done for the View. But this time you must do it for the Controller.
def foreign_keys_format(view, obj):
from rest_api_framework.models.fields import ForeignKeyField
for f in view.datastore.model.get_fields():
if isinstance(f, ForeignKeyField):
if obj.get(f.name):
obj[f.name] = int(obj[f.name].split("/")[-2])
return obj
and add it to the controller formater. Change the UserEndPoint controller:
controller = {
"list_verbs": ["GET", "POST"],
"unique_verbs": ["GET", "PUT", "DElETE"],
"options": {"pagination": Pagination(20),
"formaters": [foreign_keys_format]}
}
Now, each time the endpoint will deal with a data fields corresponding to a ForeignKeyField it will retreive the id from the url supplied
“/address/1/” will be translated in 1
curl -i -H "Content-type: application/json" -X POST -d

Nasal decongestants are useful medications for the common cold and for allergic rhinitis with congestion. They are safe for most patients, but their labeling includes a host of precautions. Failure to follow the label can increase the risk of adverse reactions in users. It is vital for pharmacists to consult with patients about these powerful pharmacological medications. Pharmacists must also be aware of the abuse of these products. Nasal decongestants include the oral decongestant pseudoephedrine (e.g., Sudafed), as well as topical sprays (e.g., Afrin, Neo-Synephrine) and inhalers (e.g., Benzedrex). It should be noted that this column does not address prescription products such as steroidal sprays (e.g., Rhinocort, Flonase). These products have their own set of adverse reactions.

MAPS targeted five well-known protoplanetary disks for an in-depth chemical exploration. The properties of these disks are listed below and are available in a convenient python dictionary via our data download page.
 IM Lup has the largest pebble disk (~260 au) in the DSHARP sample (Huang et al. 2018a) and a CO disk out to ~900 au (Cleeves et al. 2016). Continuum images reveal the presence of spiral arms in mm grains (Huang et al. 2018b), while scattered light observations show a highly flared, multi-ringed disk in micron-sized dust grains (Avenhaus et al. 2018). Despite its youth, the IM Lup disk shows evidence of grain growth (Lommen et al. 2007). The outer portion of the CO gas disk is diffuse and envelope-like, potentially indicating the presence of an external photoevaporative wind (Haworth et al. 2017). IM Lup has been been observed in several molecular lines (Öberg et al. 2011) and shows a striking double-ring structure in DCO+, due to a change in gas-phase C and O abundance at the pebble disk edge (Öberg et al. 2015b). Modeling indicates that CO is underabundant by a factor of ~20 compared to molecular clouds due to missing gas-phase carbon and oxygen (Cleeves et al. 2016). No depletions were found in nitrogen, resulting in an elevated gas-phase N/O ratio (Cleeves et al. 2018). Spitzer observations showed weak OH and H2O emission in the inner disk, suggesting intermediate water depletion (Banzatti et al. 2017).

GM Aur is a ~3-10 Myr T Tauri star in the Taurus-Auriga star-forming region hosting a transition disk, i.e., a disk large with a large inner gap or cavity. The large dust cavity (~35 au) was first inferred from SED modeling (Marsh & Mahoney 1992) and later confirmed by direct imaging using mm observations (Hughes et al. 2009). High resolution continuum observations at cm and mm wavelengths showed that the outer disk consists of several nested rings surrounded by diffuse continuum emission to ~270 au (Macías et al. 2018) and a small inner disk inside this central gap (Huang et al. 2020). The GM Aur disk has been observed in several gas tracers, with indications of non-Keplerian CO emission (Dutrey et al. 2008) and bright lines associated with photochemistry and small organics (Öberg et al. 2010). The MAPS observations show the presence of spectacular, large-scale CO spiral arms (MAPS XIX, Huang et al. 2021). Herschel observations show modestly depleted oxygen (Keane et al. 2014), but due to its low IR flux, GM Aur was not included in Spitzer surveys (Pontoppidan et al. 2010) so its inner disk molecular content is unknown.

AS 209 is a young (~1 Myr) T Tauri star in the Ophiuchus star-forming region. The disk is highly structured in mm continuum emission with at least 7 nested rings (e.g., Huang et al. 2018a, Guzmán et al. 2018), some of which are associated with ongoing planet formation (Favre et al. 2019). Scattered light observations show three rings in micron-sized dust grains (Avenhaus et al. 2018). The radial gas surface density and CO abundance profiles are also highly structured. Several CO line emission features are spatially related to peaks or gaps in dust emission (Guzmán et al. 2018), while continuum and NIR structures are associated with gas surface density perturbations (Teague et al. 2018). The AS 209 disk has a rich molecular line inventory at millimeter wavelengths (e.g., Öberg et al. 2011, Huang et al. 2017, Bergner et al. 2018, Bergner et al. 2019). Most of the millimeter molecular emission appears depleted towards the disk center but whether this due to dust opacity, excitation, C/N/O abundance, or gas surface density is not yet resolved (but see MAPS XV, Bosman et al. 2021). The inner disk chemistry of AS 209 has not been well characterized, with only upper limits on the water reservoir from Herschel (Du et al. 2017).

HD 163296 is one of the most well studied Herbig Ae star-disk systems at millimeter wavelengths due to its relative proximity and massive disk. The HD 163296 disk presents multiple features that suggest the presence of planets and ongoing planet formation, including dust rings, azimuthal asymmetries, deviations from Keplerian velocities due to gas pressure variations, "kinks" in CO emission, and meridional flows (e.g., Isella et al. 2016, Pinte et al. 2018b, Teague et al. 2019). Observations in scattered light at optical and infrared wavelengths also reveal substantial radial substructure (Monnier et al. 2017, Muro-Arena et al. 2018, Rich et al. 2020). HD 163296 has been observed in CO and other molecular tracers at millimeter wavelengths in a number of single-dish, SMA, and ALMA projects (e.g., Thi et al. 2004, Qi et al. 2011, Öberg et al. 2011, Rosenfeld et al. 2013, Salinas et al. 2017, Pegues et al. 2020). Its popularity in previous surveys can be explained by its bright molecular lines, not only in CO isotopologues, but also in HCN, HCO+, deuterated species, and larger organics. The HD 163296 disk is relatively line poor at IR wavelengths (Pontoppidan et al. 2010, Salyk et al. 2011), but H2O and OH have been detected (Fedele et al. 2012, Banzatti et al. 2017), revealing a disk atmosphere that is not completely dry.

MWC 480 is a ~7 Myr old Herbig Ae star in the Taurus-Auriga star-forming region. Its mm continuum disk has a centrally-peaked profile (Piétu et al. 2006) with two dust rings and low-level emission extending beyond 200 au (Long et al. 2018, Liu et al. 2019). MWC 480 was included in several early disk chemistry programs (i.e., CID, DISCS; Dutrey et al. 2007, Öberg et al. 2010, Henning et al. 2010, Dutrey et al. 2011), which showed that the disk is very bright in some lines, e.g., HCO+ and HCN, but weak in others, including N2H+ and H2CO (e.g., Pegues et al. 2020). The disk has also been probed in simple and complex nitriles, deuterated molecules, and sulfur-bearing species (Öberg et al. 2015a, Guzmán et al. 2015, Huang et al. 2017, Le Gal et al. 2019) and was the target of an unbiased spectral line survey (Loomis et al. 2020), which resulted in detections of several new disk molecules, including C2D and H2CS. The MWC 480 water content was probed by the Herschel WISH key program, but was not detected (van Dishoeck et al. 2011). Otherwise, the inner disk chemistry of MWC 480 is unknown.

Note: Stellar luminosities and accretion rates extracted prior to Gaia have been updated with DR2 distances following Andrews et al. 2018 for IM Lup, AS 209, and HD 163296 and Macías et al. 2018 for GM Aur. Due to their large relative uncertainties, those for MWC 480 have not been rescaled. The accretion rate of GM Aur is variable (Ingleby et al. 2015), so we adopted an average value, following Macías et al. 2018.

THE INSIDER (M). (Touchstone/Buena Vista International) Director: Michael Mann Stars: Al Pacino, Russell Crowe, Christopher Plummer, Diane Venora, Rhillip Baker Hall, Lindsay Crouse, Debi Mazar, Hallie Kate Eisenberg, Stephen Tobolowsky, Colm Feore, Bruce McGill, Micahel Gambon, Gins Gershon, Rip Torn, Lynne Thigpen, Michael Paul Chan, Linda Hart, Robert Harper, Nestor Serrano, Pete Hamill, Wings Hauser, Clifford Curtis, Breckin Meyer Running time: 150 minutes.
Director Michael Mann's first film since the brilliant Heat is a wonderfully gripping and intelligent true life drama about the scientist who blew the whistle on the tobacco companies for tv's 60 Minutes.
When he is unfairly dismissed from tobacco company Brown and Williamson, scientist Jeffrey Wigand (Russell Crowe) eventually told a 60 Minutes news team that the tobacco companies had been lying for years about the dangers of smoking. But then the tobacco industry began a massive smear campaign, dragging Wigand's life through the mud in an effort to discredit him and his testimony. When even CBS eventually bowed to enormous legal pressure and failed to air the damaging interview, veteran investigative reporter and 60 Minutes producer Lowell Bergman (Al Pacino) fought back to protect Wigand and the right of the public to know the truth. It was a protracted and heated dispute that shook up the landmark television news show and tested old loyalties.
This is probably the best drama featuring journalists as heroic characters and newsmakers, pursuing a momentous story, since All The President's Men. The Insider is suspenseful, riveting stuff, but it also has a strong emotional punch. With this searing look at corporate America out of control, Mann is dealing with some weighty and important themes - big business ethics, greed, corruption, heavy moral dilemmas, journalistic integrity, freedom of the press.
Mann directs with a commendable sense of restraint. Mann uses a pseudo-documentary style, to give the film a sense of urgency, which is highly effective at times. But the hand held camera work becomes a bit tiresome and there are a few scenes that could have been tightened up in the editing room. There are also a number of characters who come and go without making much of an impact.
However, The Insider is driven by two powerhouse, Oscar-worthy central performances. Pacino is intense and believable as the dogged and disenchanted Bergman, and delivers one of his best performances for quite some time. Heavily made up, Crowe delivers a stand out performance as Wigand, who acts out of conscience and then helplessly watches as his life and reputation are systematically destroyed. He brings a wonderfully nervous edge, quiet honesty and dignity to his performance.
Women often get short shrift in Mann's overtly masculine films, but Diane Venora (from Heat, etc) is impressive as Wigand's long suffering wife. And Christopher Plummer (who often has a reputation for publicly slagging off at his films) is terrific as veteran journalist Mike Wallace, bringing a pompous air but also an intelligence to his role.
Unfortunately, The Insider wasn't a huge success in the US, which may affect its chances at the Oscars. However, this is a rare example of Hollywood producing a gripping and intelligent drama that is also relevant, and it should be put at the head of the list of must see films of this year.

The term "JPEG" is an acronym for the Joint Photographic Experts Group, which created the standard. The MIME media type for JPEG is image/jpeg, except in older Internet Explorer versions, which provides a MIME type of image/pjpeg when uploading JPEG images.[4] JPEG files usually have a filename extension of .jpg or .jpeg. JPEG/JFIF supports a maximum image size of 65,535×65,535 pixels,[5] hence up to 4 gigapixels (for an aspect ratio of 1:1). |

Enter into checkout folder and run the following command:
cd privatesky
npm install
First of all, create a local clone of the PrivateSky Github project:
git clone https://github.com/PrivateSky/psk-release.git
Enter into checkout folder and run the following command:
cd privatesky
npm install
The Node version is checked and if is all good the installation process begins by downloading the required dependencies. Once the installation process has finished successfully, the following command needs to be run:
npm run start
At this point, the PrivateSky installation is done and the PrivateSky Node is up and ready to go!
The difference is that during development PSK Node code is necessary to be rebuilt every time that source code and folders are modified according to the project's needs.
During development, instead of the npm run start command run
npm run watch
To update an existing PrivateSky installation run command:
npm run update

aEach quantitative indicator was evaluated as the proportion (expressed as percentage) of the outcome of interest over the total. A scale from 1 to 3 was used to provide a score for each quantitative indicator as follows: < 60% (from the above calculation) scored 1 (weak performance); 60–79% scored 2 (moderate performance); ≥80% scored 3 (good performance). For indicators for which a proportion over a total could not be obtained (qualitative indicators) a score was assigned based on the same scale using expert consensus
bIndicator value calculated by dividing the number of achieved outcome by the total number of outcome considered (i.e. 4/5 = 80.0% or 1/4 = 25.0%)


Toyz for Data Reduction and Analysis¶

Introduction to Toyz
Coming Soon¶
I’m still finishing transfering Toyz from the old astropyp format. Some of the features that should be complete within the next week or two are workspaces, interactive Highcharts and Graph3d plots, and thorough documentation about how to incorporate your own scripts into a toyz application. Once that’s complete I will be pushing the distribution to PyPi so toyz can be installed via pip . Stay tuned.

A lot can happen over coffee.
Coffee Taste better with a dash of history...
Possibly the most popular type of coffee in the world, a cappuccino consists of three layers (kind of like a cake). The first is a shot of espresso, then a shot of steamed milk, and finally the barista adds a layer of frothed, foamy milk. This final layer can also be topped with chocolate shavings or powder. .
 Sounds simple right? Well, it’s surprisingly difficult to master.
PLACE YOUR ORDERA macchiato is a shot of espresso that is then topped off with foamed milk dashed directly into the cup. Although it may sound similar to a cappuccino, it’s usually stronger as there’s no steamed milk added and it’s also smaller, usually served in an espresso-sized cup.
PLACE YOUR ORDERA Vienna is made by mixing two shots of strong espresso, and then adding whipped cream as a substitute for milk and sugar. The Vienna melds the strong flavours of a straight espresso, with the smoothness of sugary cream.
PLACE YOUR ORDERMuch has changed since the inception of our
organization at it's juvenile stage in 1990.
We are passionate about manufacturing the best products,
and we delight in giving a finely processed good from SEED to CUP.
