How To Increase Social Presence
In today’s day and age, it is more important than ever to have a HUGE social presence.
I cannot name a single person who doesn’t Google a business, or look for social media accounts that provide related info to that business. Being live, present and alive on social media is key to success.
Now i’m not just talking about a website, although that is one of, if not the most important strategy to attract customers and give users a base to check you out, but all social media is important, from Facebook to Instagram, Medium and Twitter.
Instagram is one of the easiest, cheapest most convenient ways to attract customers. When we start working with customers, we always recommend one of the first things they do before we even get started on building their website.
One of our recent customers, a private swimming teacher, sat down with us and we explained to them the importance of a Google Business Listing, growing your instagram account, getting out onto Facebook and Twitter, posting local ads, etc. It is one of the most important things when starting a business to get online as much as possible, it should be a large focus in a startup.
ADS
Ads in my opinion work well if your starting out. If you can get FREE ads, even better, but most aren’t free. Typically accounts with 100k followers or more will sell you ads for roughly $10–$20 which is very good price.
Facebook ads work good as well, but tend to be a bit more pricey, usually $25-$30, which isn’t much more but if your on a tight budget, $10-$15 in saving could be helpful.
Google Business Listings
Google business listing is extremely helpful in making a business more professional. It gives your customers or new customers the sense that they know that you’re legit, your not going to scam them, and give them more reassurance your professional and know what you’re doing. You can google my Google My Business or download the app for more info.
Instagram in our opinion is very important, one of the most important social media applications and is a great marketing strategy. With over 1 billion active users monthly, Instagram gives you a large base for reaching out to customers, and posting high quality content to show your customers what you’re all about.
 It’s a very critical strategy to succeed when starting a business

Open API Specification Support
This add-on allows you to spider and import OpenAPI (Swagger) definitions (versions 1.2 and 2.0).
The add-on will automatically detect any Open API definitions and spider them as long as they are in scope.
UI
2 menu items are added to the Tools menu:
- Import an Open API definition from the local file system
- Import an Open API definition from a URL
The URL Import dialog supports an optional additional field that allows you to override the Host (and port) in the
definition with an alternative one that you supply.
This option is not provided for the file import as it's easy to change a local file to use a different host.
API
The following operations are added to the API:
- ACTION importFile (file)
- ACTION importUrl (url, hostOverride)
The definitions will be imported synchronously and any warnings will be returned.
Command Line
The following Command Line options are added:
- -openapifile <filename> : Import an Open API definition from the specified file name
- -openapiurl <url> : Import an Open API definition from the specified URL
The definitions will be imported synchronously and any warnings will be displayed on the command line.
User Specified Values
Default values are used when importing Open API definitions.
These can be overridden using the Form Handler add-on which allows you to specify your own values.
In most cases these will be simple values (like strings and integers) but in some cases you may need to specify structured values,
e.g. { "id": 0, "name": "Freda" }


Here are some projects I have completed during my Undergraduate candidature (2016-2020) in the B.Soc.Sci in Geography offered by the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS) in the National University of Singapore (NUS).
GIS Projects
I am interested in using maps as an effective way to analyse and convey data. Below are two of my more notable group projects completed in some of the GIS modules I enrolled in during my candidature.
Hover over each item to access the project. The project will open in a new tab.
- GE3216 Applications of GIS and Remote Sensing: GIS Research Project on analysing the spatial distribution of Ostracod species in Australia.
- GE3238 GIS Design and Practices: GIS Research Project on designing a GIS-compatible automated workflow that processes WIFI data connections on the NUS internal shuttle buses. The workflow product is a spatial and temporal visualisation of crowding patterns.


Access audit data
You must log into the database as Pat before proceeding with this page.
Audit data is stored in active log files until they are being archived. Once archived, data can be extracted into delimited ASCII file. You can then import the file into tables for analysis.
Operation
The SECADM archives and extracts the audit data to audit tables.
For SECADM to work with audit data collected, DB2 provides the following routines:
- SYSPROC.AUDIT_ARCHIVE - to archive audit logs
- SYSPROC.AUDIT_LIST_LOGS - to locate logs of interest
- SYSPROC.AUDIT_DELIM_EXTRACT - to extract data into delimited files for analysis
On the right pane,click Edit Query to match location that user chose in the previous page
Solution
Example on the right pane shows that Pat:
- uses SYSPROC.AUDIT_ARCHIVE to archive audit logs
- uses SYSPROC.AUDIT_DELIM_EXTRACT to extracts data into delimited ASCII files
- Imports the files into the audit tables accordingly
- Analyzes the audit data using regular SQL statements


Getting Parcel Lines
How to download parcel boundaries from a qPublic siteHow to download parcel boundaries from a qPublic site
Target Audience:
citizens, realtors, lawyers
Objectives:
- Search for and find a specific property on a qPublic site
- Download a property’s parcel boundary from a qPublic site
Introduction:
The purpose of this little tutorial is to walk you through how to search for and download a KML version of a property’s parcel boundary through one of the more openly accessible qPublic sites. At the end of the tutorial you should have a file that you can view in Google Earth or work with in more advanced mapping programs like QGIS, ArcGIS, or CartoDB.
For this tutorial, we’ll use the Scott County PVA’s qPublic site as the base example. That said, the process outlined here should work for Fayette and other PVAs with qPublic site where the parcel boundaries are made available for download.
What is this qPublic thing?
In Kentucky, property tax assessment is handled at the county level by, for the most part, the Property Valuation Administrator (PVA). Many Kentucky counties allow some level of access to PVA data through a qPublic site. qPublic sites potentially grant curious visitors access to a county’s PVA data. Counties like Fayette and Scott have largely made there PVA data available for free although most counties require what some might argue is a cost-prohibitive subscription fee. That said, through some qPublic sites, you can access not only the property data, but also the boundary lines for the parcel you’re looking for.
Searching for a Parcel
There are several ways to search for a parcel. Search options will vary from PVA to PVA, but when you begin your search on a qPublic site, you will be presented with a list of options similar to this:
There are a couple of different ways that your search will return results. Let’s look at them individually
Search by Owner Name, GIS Map Number, Location Address, Description…
When you do one of the above types of searches, a list of properties will be returned to. For instance, if you click Search by Location Address and search E Main St, you’ll get something like this:
The lsit contains some basic information about each property returned. You can select a specific property by clicking its Map Number or the Map It link in the GIS Map column. Since we want to get at the parcel boundaries, we’ll use the Map It link. In this example we’re interested in 230 E Main St
.
Clicking Map It for your parcel of choice will take you to a map interface. We’ll delve more into that when we discuss how to actually download the parcel bounds.
Search by Map
Let’s say you know vaguely where a property is located, but the search options discussed above are coming up short. Search by Map allows you to interactively navigate a parcel map. A map viewer opens up showing the county at its fullest extent.
Do reduce load time, parcels aren’t drawn at this scale. You’ll need to zoom in. The map viewer toolbar has a few options for zooming in (outlined in purple).
Additionally you can hold Shift + left-click, you can drag a box around an area of interest. The map will then zoom to that area.
When you’ve found a parcel you’re interested in, click it. The parcel will become highlighted and the information pane to the right will populated with attribute information about the it.


THE NET RATING: 5 / 10 --> Not good
For more reviews and movie trivia, visit http://www.joblo.com/
We've got a hot little commercial commodity in Sandra Bullock. "Good, that's good." Yeah, and we've got this burgeoning new technological creation called the Internet revolutionizing people's lives and changing the way they live, right? "Yeah, yeah, and...?" Don't you see? Glamorous Ms. Hollywood actress playing the little Ms. Loner character that everyone could identify with, in a film based on a technology which more and more people are beginning to fear?!? "It's brilliant !!!!". Green light.
PLOT: Very pretty, loner computer programming girl gets caught up in a fight for a sacred disk. She has it, the bad guys want it. As she struggles to lose said bad guys, she ultimately loses her identity, her reputation and her past, as these computer pirates erase her whole life via the new technologies embedded in the Internet.
CRITIQUE: See Sandra Bullock type real fast on a computer. Cute. See Sandra fall upon a massive conspiracy to launch unexpected havoc onto the world. Not so cute. See Sandra run away from the bad guys. Nasty. See Sandra run some more. Even nastier. Hmmm.....oh yeah, and there she goes running again. Exciting, eh? Not really, but you get the picture. Close to two hours of Sandra running along, finding a place to hide for a few hours, and typing some more. It gets to be a bit repetitive, but you don't know the half of it. She has this friend see, and he's well, he's not known by the bad guys, and he's gonna help her out, you know, I mean, he's her only friend, and oops, oh no...how did that happen? Oh well, back to running, I suppose.
But there's tension, right?
Little Known Facts about this film and its stars: Sandra Bullock replaced Demi Moore for the role in WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING (7/10), and Lori Petty for the role in DEMOLITION MAN (7/10), opposite Sly Stallone himself. She is allergic to horses, and was voted "Most likely to brighten up your day" by her high school classmates. She's also a huge fan of Dr. Seuss, and wrote and performed her own song "Heaven Knocking On My Door" in the 1993 film THE THING CALLED LOVE (8/10). There are no less than four members of the Winkler family in the cast of this film. Good for you, Irwin, everybody needs a day job, right? :) Irwin Winkler is better known as a producer of such great films as GOODFELLAS (9.5/10), RAGING BULL (7.5/10) and ROCKY (8.5/10). Screenwriters John Brancato and Michael Ferris went on to write the superb thriller THE GAME (8/10) in 1997.
Review Date: December 30, 1998 Director: Irwin Winkler Writers: John Brancato and Michael Ferris, Irwin Winkler, Rob Cowan and Dick Beebe Producers: Irwin Winkler and Rob Cowan Actors: Sandra Bullock as Angela Bennett, Jeremy Northam as Jack Devlin, Dennis Miller as Dr. Alan Champion Genre: Thriller Year of Release: 1995

Why use FBB with Linux ? Info on AF_AX25, AF_NETROM and AF_ROSE. Install AF_AX25, AF_NETROM and AF_ROSE. Config AF_AX25, AF_NETROM and AF_ROSE for KISS TNC and SCC card. Telnet installation (Appendix 24). Why use FBB with Linux ? LINUX is a true multitasking system where many applications may run concurently. When Linux (and other UNIX systems) has finished booting it is possible to run one ore more applications running concurently (NODE, BBS, CLUSTER, TCPIP, etc...) on the same CPU and above all very fast and secure. Another good thing for linux is that the AX25 is included in the kernel, and then you need no TNC, no BPQ or other. You only need hardware. (think of a DOS including Netrom, Rose, AX25, TCPIP and other software....) Info on AF_AX25, AF_NETROM ans AF_ROSE. Standard kernel AF_AX25, AF_NETROM and AF_ROSE sockets AX.25, NET/ROM and ROSE protocol are built into the Linux kernel. I recommend to use these interfaces, because it will give you more flexibility to build a system with many futures.. This choice may be little difficult to set up, because the functions is depended of lots of things.. eg: - Linux kernel version - ax25-utils version - z8530drv version - net-tools version ... and more If you desire to use this/these interfaces, i strongly recommend to read at least AX25-HOWTO! The AX25-HOWTO located at: http://sunsite.unc.edu/mdw/HOWTO/AX25-HOWTO.html More HOWTO´s located at: http://sunsite.unc.edu/mdw/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX-3.html The Linux Documentation Project Homepage is located at http://sunsite.unc.edu/mdw/linux.html Install AF_AX25, AF_NETROM and AF_ROSE. How to set up Linux kernel AF_AX25, AF_NETROM, AF_ROSE socket. These examples are for Linux kernel 2.0.27 patched with ax25-module-7. First, get these files (or newer files). Linux kernel 2.0.27 available @ ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/Linux/PEOPLE/Linus/ ax25-utils-2.0.12c.tar.gz ax25-module-7.tar.gz ax25-utils-module-7.tar.gz available @ http://www.cs.nott.ac.uk/~jsn/ Unpack kernel 2.0.27 in ´/usr/src´ with ´tar zxvf linux-2.0.27.tar.gz´ this will unpack kernel 2.0.27 to a directory called ´linux´ , beware if you already have a directory named ´linux´ in ´/usr/src´. Tip: I rename my kernel source directory to kernel version with ´mv linux linux-2.0.27´ then i do a symbolic link to this directory with ´ln -s linux-2.0.27 linux´ Before i install a new kernel, i remove the symbolic link (eg: rm linux), this allows me to have more kernel sources installed at same time.. :- Okay, now it´s time to compile the ´ax25-utils-2.0.12c.tar.gz´ , unpack this file in ´/usr/src´ with ´tar zxvf ax25-utils-2.0.12c.tar.gz´. I can´t compile ´ax25-utils-2.0.12c.tar.gz´ after patching the kernel with ´ax25-module-7.tar.gz´... :-/ Read the ´INSTALL´ file how to compile, and install this package. Now it´s time to patch the kernel with ´ax25-module-7.tar.gz´, unpack this file in ´/usr/src´ with ´tar zxvf ax25-module-7.tar.gz´, then type ´cat ax25-module-7/ax25-2.0.27-2.1.19.diff | patch -p0´ Okay, do ´cd linux´ now, read the file README now, to know how to set up the kernel! Okay, now it´s time to run ´make config´ , be sure that you enable - Amateur Radio AX.25 Level 2 (CONFIG_AX25) - Amateur Radio NET/ROM (CONFIG_NETROM) If you want to use ROSE, enable this.. - Amateur Radio X.25 PLP (Rose) (CONFIG_ROSE) You can make these as loadable modules, or to be compiled into the kernel. After you finished with ´make config´ , then type ´make dep; make clean; make zImage´ to compile the new kernel with AX.25 and NET/ROM support (and ROSE if defined). After compilation, install the new kernel, as in the /usr/src/linux/README file. Okay, you should have rebooted and started up the new kernel now.. Now it´s time to compile ´ax25-utils-module-7.tar.gz´ , unpack this file in ´/usr/src´ with ´tar zxvf ax25-utils-module-7.tar.gz´, do ´cd ax25-utils.module-7´ and read the INSTALL file how to compile and install! If all steps has gone without problem, you are now ready to set up your Linux system to work with kernel AX.25, NET/ROM (and ROSE if defined), CONGRATULATIONS! Now you should go to ´/usr/src/ax25-utils-2.0.12c´ and read the README file, to find out what files you should need to change for suite you. All configuration files are in ´/etc/ax25´. Tip: Read the AX25-HOWTO @ http://sunsite.unc.edu/mdw/HOWTO/AX25-HOWTO.html Config AF_AX25, AF_NETROM and AF_ROSE for KISS TNC and SCC card.

MAVERICK A Film Review by Scott Renshaw Copyright 1994 Scott Renshaw
Starring: Mel Gibson, Jodie Foster, James Garner, Alfred Molina, Graham Greene, James Coburn. Screenplay: William Goldman. Director: Richard Donner.
William Goldman may be as famous in the film industry for one quote as he is for his screenplays (BUTCH CASSIDY & THE SUNDANCE KID, THE PRINCESS BRIDE, MISERY). "Nobody in Hollywood knows anything," he wrote, and that pithy line became the mantra for anyone who was every frustrated by the movie-making machinery. However, Goldman overlooked the one thing Hollywood does know: it knows how to package. Witness the above-the- line talent assembled for MAVERICK: Mel Gibson, Jodie Foster, director Richard Donner, composer Randy Newman, and yes, even Goldman himself. One might expect from that list that MAVERICK is a good-looking, good- sounding, good-natured production, and it is. And little more. MAVERICK is pleasant, but it never really takes off, opting to replace a solid narrative with a series of sketches of widely varying quality.
Gibson plays Bret Maverick, a roguish gambler much better at playing cards than he is at playing hero. He wants to get into a riverboat game with a $500,000 pot, but he finds himself $3,000 short of the required $25,000 buy-in. Complicating his quest for cash is Annabelle Bransford (Foster), a faux-Southern con artist who covets Maverick's hefty wallet, and straight arrow lawman Zane Cooper (James Garner). Maverick also must content with a gambler (Alfred Molina) with a particular axe to grind. Along the way to the big game, Maverick meets up with a succession of "friends" who owe him money, resulting in a string of double- and triple-crosses through to the final scene.
The "plot" of MAVERICK is really just a tool to get him into a number of situations involving money and duplicity: Maverick in a saloon poker game; Maverick trying to collect from a friend at a bank; Maverick, Annabelle and Cooper trying to recover money stolen from a group of missionaries. Some of these moments are quite entertaining, particularly an encounter with a group of Indians with whom Maverick enjoys a special rapport. Gibson and Foster are also quite good together, generating a lot of smiles simply from the spark of their interaction. Gibson in particular is perfectly cast as Maverick, a sly but ultimately big- hearted fellow with a gift for avoiding danger. There is enough charm and energy in his performance to carry MAVERICK over many of its rough spots.
It's a shame that MAVERICK misfires nearly as often as it hits. It's a peculiar mixture of missed opportunities, overkill and necessary but unfortunate editing decisions (which whittled this once two and a half hour film to a still over-long 2:05). Early in the film, Maverick shows up a young gunfighter, but the expected showdown never comes; instead, the gunfighter stands and politely excuses himself. Later, Maverick runs into a group of tough guys to whom he owes $20. When he produces a $100 bill and asks for change, you expect a slick con, but again MAVERICK doesn't quite follow through. On the opposite end of the spectrum is a sequence where Maverick is in a bank during a robbery committed by a familiar actor in a cameo role. Once the actor is unmasked, the joke should be over, but it's milked for more than it's worth in a way that made me think, "All right, I get the joke." MAVERICK is full of these fits and starts, making it hard for me to like it as much as I wanted to.
MAVERICK concludes with a number of plot turns reminiscent of THE STING, and didn't necessarily find them predictable, I didn't really find them all that interesting, either. By the time it hits the final fifteen minutes, MAVERICK finds itself in serious danger of overstaying its welcome, ending with far less energy than it begins. Still, MAVERICK is what summer movies are generally meant to be: big, light entertainment. As frequently as it pulled its comedic punches, MAVERICK still had enough dopey fun to be worth a matinee look. But if the inevitable sequel rolls around, I hope Gibson, Donner and company learn their lesson and start with a script from which they don't need to cut so much.

The HighPriority setting is designed to transition time-critical data more rapidly between devices. This is for information like user context (e.g. game level or page in a book). To use this setting, name one setting 'HighPriority' and the system will automatically take care of roaming frequency. The HighPriority setting can be a composite setting.
This scenario demonstrates writing to the HighPriority setting, and responding to the datachanged notification of incoming roaming data. Run the scenario on two machines using the same connected account to observe the roaming.


Ivy provides a few different commands to work with .ivy
files:
ivy_show
prints the elaborated form of a program and exits- ivy_check performs verification
- ivy_to_cpp performs code extraction
- ivy runs a GUI for exploring the evolution of a program's state variables
These commands should be available in your $PATH
after installation. If not, installation was probably unsuccessful.
Ivy's commands share a common argument syntax:
*command* *option*=*value* ... *file*.ivy
Common options
All commands take some common options. In the following, name
represents a hierarchical Ivy name, which may contain the .
character, and boolean
represents a Boolean value true
or false
.
isolate=name
This options specifies the name of a isolate to verify or extract.
show_compiled=boolean
If true
, this option causes a representation of the elaborated Ivy code to be printed before doing any other work. The elaborated code reflects all the module instantiations as well as the various transformations performed by Ivy's compiler to produce an isolate. This is useful to see in detail what is contained in an isolate.
pedantic=boolean
If true
, certain optional warnings are enabled. The default value is false

This page contains quick guides that teach you the basics on how to create content for Pikifen. Read this for a list of more in-depth and complete guides.
Areas
Concepts
An area's physical geometry is made up of neighboring polygons, which represent floors when seen from above. Their height can also be changed, and a polygon with a higher height than its neighbor creates a wall.
How to make an area
Making a ramp with the area editor.
Feel free to check or copy the existing areas for references and ideas.
- Open the game, enter the area editor.
- Use the "Info" mode to give it a name.
-
Use the "Layout" mode to make the polygons (also called sectors).
- Drag a polygon's vertexes around to give it shape.
- Double-click a polygon's lines to create a new vertex.
- Use the "+" button on the panel to start drawing a new sector.
- Drag a vertex into another to merge the two. Connect edges to stitch them.
- Edges between higher sectors to lower ones make walls.
- Use the "Objects" mode to place the level's objects.
- Use the "Paths" mode to make the Pikmin's paths, by drawing the path stops and links between them.
- Use the "Details" mode to make tree shadows.
Further info
- In the area editor, right-click-drag moves the camera.
- Objects will walk up floors within 50 units of each other. Use this for ramps and staircases.
- Don't overlap lines or create non-simple polygons.
Full area guide: Making areas
Object types
Concepts
Red Pikmin is a type of Pikmin, Wollywog is a type of enemy, Captain Olimar is a type of leader, and wood bridge is a type of bridge. You then place in an area several instances of Wollywog, several instances of wood bridge, (hopefully) one instance of Captain Olimar, etc. Each type has its own properties (color, max health, script, etc.)
How to make an object type
Feel free to check or copy the existing object types for references and ideas.
- Create a folder for your object's type in
Game_data/Types/<category>
. - Inside, create
Data.txt
. -
Inside, write the necessary properties, which take on the format
property = value
, one per line.- The following are the most important, and should be fairly intuitive:
name
,height
,max_carriers
,max_health
,move_speed
,pushable
,pushes
,radius
,rotation_speed
,weight
.
- The following are the most important, and should be fairly intuitive:
- Depending on the category, you must also add some more properties; check the corresponding category article in the list of object categories.
- Create and set up the animations for it.
Further info
- Your object may also need a script or not; check if it does in the list of object categories.
- The "Custom" category is for fully custom objects. These too need a script.
- In order for your object to attack or be attacked, you need to specify its
target_type
,can_hunt
, andcan_hurt
properties.
Full object type guide: Making object types
Animations
Concepts
Animations are made up of frames that are displayed in rapid succession. Each frame has a sprite, and info about how long it lasts. The engine reads sprites from sections of one or more images (called spritesheets). Besides the image, each sprite has hitboxes, which are connected to body parts (e.g. body, head, tail, etc.), and define whether that body part is currently damageable, causing damage, or being ignored. These hit"boxes" are actually cylinders.
How to make animations
Feel free to check or copy existing animations and images for references and ideas.
- Create the images that will be used for the object's sprites. In every sprite's image, the object must be facing the right.
- Open the game, enter the animation editor.
- Load the object type whose animations you want to edit. Create the type's folder in
Game_data/Types/<category>
if it doesn't exist. - Use the "Body parts" mode to make the list of relevant body parts.
-
Use the "Sprites" mode to make the sprites to be used in future animations's frames.
- Use the big button at the top to select a sprite or create a new one.
- Use the "Edit hitboxes" button to specify where each body part's hitbox is and what it does. They can be dragged around and resized with the left mouse button.
-
Use the "Animations" mode to make the animations.
- Use the big button at the top to select an animation or create a new one.
- Create the necessary animations for the type of object. To know which ones you need, check the corresponding category article from the list of object categories.
Further info
- In the animation editor, right-click-drag moves the camera.
- When making animations for Pikmin, use the "Edit Pikmin top" button on an animation's data to specify where the leaf/bud/flower is on that frame.
Full animation guide: Making animations
Scripts
Concepts
Scripts use an event-driven finite-state machine. An object is always in one of several states (e.g. sleeping, going home, biting). In this state, it can respond to a series of events (e.g. when it sees a Pikmin, when it reaches its home, when it loses health). Its response consists of a list of actions (e.g. changing animation, changing state, swallowing Pikmin in its mouth, walk somewhere).
How to make a script
Feel free to check or copy existing scripts for references and ideas. It is recommended to create the object you want before writing the script.
- Go to
Game_data/Types/<category>/<type>
. - Inside, create a file called
Script.txt
. - Inside, add a
script
block. This means one line hasscript {
, and another has}
. - Inside the script block, create a block for the name of a state.
- Inside a state's block, create a block for an event. See here for a list of events.
- Inside an event's block, write one action per line. See here for a list of actions.
- In the same file, add the
first_state
property, which specifies what the starting state is, anddeath_state
, which is the state to go to when the health reches zero. -
In
Data.txt
in the same folder, next to the existing object properties, add the following properties:territory_radius
.reaches
, which is a block with named "reaches". Each reach uses the format<pie-slice 1 radius> <pie-slice 1 angle> <pie-slice 2 radius> <pie-slice 2 angle>
(the latter two are optional).
Further info
- To chase after an object, it must first be focused on to.
- For an enemy to eat, it must first set how many Pikmin can be grabbed at max, and which body parts will do the grabbing. After some Pikmin are grabbed, it must then swallow them, which is what really kills them.
- When an enemy dies, it should run the
start_dying
and later,finish_dying
actions. - An enemy can keep a list of variables with any name you wish, and these variables can contain any value you want. You can refer to a variable's value in an action with

The Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO) presents the latest high-quality results in genetic and evolutionary computation since 1999. Topics include: genetic algorithms, genetic programming, ant colony optimization and swarm intelligence, complex systems (artificial life/robotics/evolvable hardware/generative and developmental systems/artificial immune systems), digital entertainment technologies and arts, evolutionary combinatorial optimization and metaheuristics, evolutionary machine learning, evolutionary multiobjective optimization, evolutionary numerical optimization, real world applications, search-based software engineering, theory and more.
Real-world optimization problems often consist of several NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems that interact with each other. Such multi-component optimization problems are difficult to solve not only because of the contained hard optimization problems, but in particular, because of the interdependencies between the different components. Interdependence complicates a decision making by forcing each sub-problem to influence the quality and feasibility of solutions of the other sub-problems. This influence might be even stronger when one sub-problem changes the data used by another one through a solution construction process. Examples of multi-component problems are vehicle routing problems under loading constraints, maximizing material utilization while respecting a production schedule, and relocation of containers in a port while minimizing idle times of ships.
The goal of this competition is to provide a platform for researchers in computational intelligence working on multi-component optimization problems. The main focus of this competition is on the combination of TSP and Knapsack problems. However, we plan to extend this competition format to more complex combinations of problems (that have typically been dealt with individually in the past decades) in the upcoming years.
The Traveling Thief Problem was originally proposed in [1]. If you like to know more about the problem origin we encourage you to read this paper as a starting point. The test problems used for this competition were proposed in [2]. We selected a representative set to cover varying scenarios for the traveling thief for this competition. The bi-objective traveling thief problem was discussed and investigated in [3].
How to get started
For guidance, a sample Java implementation is provided: here. You can find information about how to get started there as well. It should provide a starting point to get familiar with the problem and prototype quickly new ideas. However, for this competition you have the freedom to use whatever you need, e.g. speed up the evaluation function, reimplement the problem in other programming languages (e.g. C, Matlab, Python).

For simplicity, we shortened the file name of the selected instances. However, the original instances are annotated above. The column n represents the MAXIMUM number of non-dominated solutions being accepted for the submission for each test problem.
Submission Format
To participate in the competition it is required to submit your solutions for ALL test problems. For each problem two files need to be submitted (i) one file that contains the tour and packing plan and (ii) one file that contains the time and profits for each corresponding solution. The filenames are supposed to be <team>_<problem>.x and <team>_<problem>.f.
First, the file containing the tour and packing plan (<team>_<problem>.x) contains for each solution two lines where the first represents the permutation vector and the second line the packing plan encoded by 0 and 1. Then one empty line is added to separate one solution from another. An example output can be found here.
Second the file containing the objective space values (<team>_<problem>.f) contains the corresponding time and profit separated by space. An example output can be found here.
The test instances are included in the Github project and a method to run your algorithm on them already exists.
Submission
Deadline for this competition is the
TBA, 2019, Midnight, UTC-12

By adding up the points for each submission we will create the overall ranking. Please note, that depending on the number of submissions the evaluation might need to be reconsidered.
The traveling thief problem combines the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) and the Knapsack Problem (KNP). Both problems will be explained in the following sections.
In the TSP a salesman has to visit \(n\) cities. The distances are given by a map represented as a distance matrix \(A = (d_{ij})\) with \(i,j \in \{0,..,n\}\). The salesman has to visit each city once and the result is a permutation vector \(\pi = (\pi_1, \pi_2, ..., \pi_n)\) , where \(\pi_i\) is the i-th city of the salesman. The distance between two cities divided by a constant velocity \(v\) results in the traveling time for the salesman denoted by \(f(\pi)\). The goal is to minimize the total traveling time of the tour:
There are \(\frac{(n-1)!}{2}\) different tours to consider, if we assume that the salesman has to start from the first city and travels on a symmetric map where \(d_{i,j} = d_{j,i}\).
For the Knapsack Problem a knapsack has to be filled with items without violating the maximum weight constraint. Each item \(j\) has a value \(b_j \geq 0\) and a weight \(w_j \geq 0\) where \(j \in \{1, .., m\}\). The binary decision vector \(z = (z_1, .., z_m)\) defines, if an item is picked or not. The search space of this problem contains 2^n combinations and the goal is to maximize the profit \(g(z)\):
The TTP is a combinatorial optimization problem that consists of two interweaving problems, TSP and KNP. After explaining the two components separately, the interdependence and the different models of the problem are described.
The Traveling Thief Problem combines the above defined subproblems and lets them interact with each other. The traveling thief can collect items from each city he is visiting. The items are stored in a knapsack carried by him. In more detail, each city \(\pi_i\) provides one or multiple items, which could be picked by the thief. There is an interaction between the subproblems: The velocity of the traveling thief depends on the current knapsack weight \(w\), which is carried by him. It is calculated by considering all cities, which were visited so far, and summing up the weights of all picked items. The weight at city \(i\) given \(\pi\) and \(z\) is calculated by:
The function \(a_j(\pi_k)\) is defined for each item \(j\) and returns \(1\) if the item could be stolen at city \(\pi_k\) and \(0\) otherwise. The current weight of the knapsack has an influence on the velocity. When the thief picks an item, the weight of the knapsack increases and therefore the velocity of the thief decreases.
The velocity \(v\) is always in a specific range \(v = [v_{min}, v_{max}]\) and could not be negative for a feasible solution. Whenever the knapsack is heavier than the maximum weight \(Q\), the capacity constraint is violated. However, to provide also the traveling time for infeasible solutions the velocity is set to \(v_{min}\), if \(w>Q\):
If the knapsack is empty the velocity is equal to \(v_{max}\). Contrarily, if the current knapsack weight is equal to \(Q\) the velocity is \(v_{min}\).
Furthermore, the traveling time of the thief is calculated by:
The calculation is based on TSP, but the velocity is defined by a function instead of a constant value. This function takes the current weight, which depends on the index \(i\) of the tour. The current weight, and therefore also the velocity, will change on the tour by considering the picked items defined by \(z\). In order to calculate the total tour time, the velocity at each city needs to be known. For calculating the velocity at each city the current weight of the knapsack must be given. Since both calculations are based on \(z\) and \(z\) is part of the knapsack subproblem, it is very challenging to solve the problem to optimality. In fact, such problems are called interwoven systems as the solution of one subproblem highly depends on the solution of the other subproblems.
Here, we leave the profit unchanged to be calculated as in the KNP problem. Finally, the TTP problem is defined by
In order to illustrate the equations and interdependence, an example scenario is presented in the following. The thief starts at city 1 and has to visit city 2, 3, 4 exactly once and to return to city 1. In this example, each city provides one item and the thief must decide to steal item or not.
A permutation vector, which contains all cities exactly once, and a binary picking vector are needed to calculate the objectives. Even though, this is a very small example with four cities and three items the solution space consists of \((n-1)! \cdot 2^m = 6 \cdot 8 = 48\) combinations.
In order to understand how the objectives are calculated, an example hand calculation for the tour [1,3,2,4] and the packing plan [1,0,1] is done as follows: The thief starts with the maximum velocity, because the knapsack is empty. He begins his tour at city 1 and picks no item there.
For an empty knapsack \(w(1,\pi,z) = 0\) the velocity is \(v(0) = v_{max} = 1.0\). The distance from city 1 to city 3 is \(9.0\) and the thief needs \(9.0\) time units. At city 3 the thief will not pick an item and continue to travel to city 2 with \(w(2,\pi,z) = 0\) and therefore with \(v_{max}\) in additional \(5.0\) time units. Here he picks item 1 with \(w_1 = 30\) and the current weight becomes \(w(2,\pi,z) = 30\), which means the velocity will be reduced to \(v(30) = 1.0 - (\frac{1.0 - 0.1}{80}) \cdot 30 = 0.6625\). For traveling from city 2 to city 4 the thief needs the distance divided by the current velocity \(\frac{5.0}{0.6625} \approx 7.5472\). At city 4 he picks item 3 with \(w_3 = 21\) and the current knapsack weight increases to \(w(4,\pi,z) = 30 + 21 = 51\). For this reason the velocity decreases to \(v(51) = 1.0 - (\frac{1.0 - 0.1}{80}) \cdot 51 = 0.42625\). For returning to city 1 the thief needs according to this current speed \(\frac{3.0}{0.42625} \approx 7.0381\) time units. Finally, we sum up the time for traveling from each city to the next \(\sum_{k=1}^{4} t_{\pi_k, \pi_{k+1}} = 9 + 5 + 7.5472 + 7.0381 = 28.5853\) to calculate the whole traveling time.
The final profit is calculated by summing up the values of all items which is \(34 + 25 = 59\). So the variable [1,3,2,4] [1,0,1] is mapped to the point \((28.59, 59.0)\) in the objective space. Below you can find all pareto-optimal solutions of this example. The Pareto front contains 8 solutions and our hand calculation is printed bold.
Additionally, the figure below shows the objective space colored by tour. As it can be observed pareto-optimal solutions can have different underlying tours. Please also not that the point where no items are picked consists of two different solutions with a symmetric tour. Also, the Pareto front is non-convex.

Identity, Values and Strengths Exploration
Sprint One Cultural Blog | Thursday 12th November, 2020
Describe your core personal values.
This year has been a year of reflection for me with my plans having to change so much. I have used this year to take a step back and reflect on my personal values and my goals for the future. I would summarize my core personal values as integrity, balance, kindness, purpose, and growth.
- Integrity is an important part of my identity as I value honesty and staying true to myself.
- It is important to me to treat everyone with kindness and compassion even when I do not agree, I still find it important to try and understand their situation.
- I am always striving to create balance in my life between approaching life with structure vs. being flexible and adapting to changes.
- I highly value having a purpose and making a difference in my own way. I believe that everyone can make a difference in their lifetime no matter how small or big the effect may be.
- I value growth, professionally and personally. I have found I get the most joy and engagement out of a job when I can continue to learn and I am being challenged to improve myself and my outcomes.
Explain a situation where you have had an ethical decision to make. Discuss how you weighed up the values involved in that decision, the decision you made and the consequences of the action you took.
Having worked in the fashion industry which is known as one of the most polluting industries in the world along with a lot of questionable ethical practices I have spent a lot of time researching these issues. With the knowledge of how much of an impact unsustainable and unethical fashion has made my decisions when consuming fashion an ethical one. One of the big ethical decisions is the choice between the use of leather vs. faux leather shoes.
With leather, the pros are that it is a long-lasting and hard-wearing product that will last a long time plus it is a by-product of the meat industry and will eventually decompose. The cons are that most leather is tanned using high levels of toxic chemicals, there is potential animal cruelty in the supply chain and the leather trade is contributing to the deforestation of theamazon.
But then we look at the alternative which is faux leather which is a plastic-based synthetic material. The pros are that there is no animal cruelty involved in the supply chain, and it is durable. The cons are that it is another plastic product which will not decompose, and also contains harmful chemicals.
So how do I decide between real and faux leather after knowing all the facts? My decision is only to buy leather if I am sourcing my shoes from a company who is doing their best to minimise their impact. For example, some companies are choosing to use vegetable tanning, who are ensuring that they do not contribute to deforestation and are ethically sourced. So when I do decide to buy a leather product I do my research and I make sure that I care for my shoes so they last for as long as possible.
Describe how your culture has influenced your values and identity.
I find it hard to pinpoint exactly how my culture has influenced my values and identity as a Pakeha New Zealander. However, my values and identity have been strongly influenced by my family. I grew up with my mum teaching music in the house along with my dad working at home as an Architect. I believe being surrounded by this creativity and having a front-row seat into my parents' careers has given me the understanding of hard work, adaptability and a willingness to follow a career path that is less traditional and to instead find a path that I am passionate about, that makes me feel like I can make a difference.
Describe your strengths and limitations.
My strengths are that I am a hard worker, I am flexible, I bring a creative mindset to my work, I am a team player and I am always open to new experiences and learning new skills. My limitations are that I am quite self-critical and a bit of a perfectionist which can prevent me from moving on from a task or result in spending too much time on the little details. I also need to work having confidence in my ideas and communicating my ideas and work to others effectively.
Evaluate your strengths and limitations in terms of your learning and career development.
My flexibility, my willingness to give any task a try or help anyone else out has been an asset to my previous career in fashion and will be something I bring into my new career path. I have found that my desire to be learning new skills and having variety in my work has resulted in outgrowing my roles but I have been held back being self-critical and having a lack of opportunities in the industry. Being very self-critical and trying to perfect my work has gotten in the way of my learning in the past.
Identify which of your strengths might help you in your learning journey and how they might intersect with learning obstacles.
I believe all my strengths will aid me in succeeding in my learning journey at EDA. I can use my flexibility, perseverance and creative mindset to overcome obstacles and problem solve. Being a team player will be helpful while completing group tasks. The obstacles I will encounter will be self-doubt and self-criticism which might tell me my work isn't good enough or I won't be smart enough to complete the bootcamp and become a web developer.
Share an example from your experience of where you were trying to work productively with others, but there was resistance or tension. Discuss the strategies you used at that time, how effective they were, and your reflections on what other strategies you would try now, and why.
I was working in a team and we had a deadline to meet. Each team member had tasks to complete along the chain. I had completed as much work as I could and was awaiting more work from a colleague who had a lot of work to do and was overwhelmed. I offered to help in any way I could, however, they declined. This resistance my colleague had to give up control of their work by allowing me to help was frustrating as I could have easily helped to lighten my colleagues' workload and ultimately meet our deadline sooner. The way I dealt with this situation was by waiting to approach my colleague when they were not in a position of stress. I then asked to be shown how they complete their tasks. This meant the next time we needed to meet a deadline I was able to offer my colleague help, my colleague felt comfortable in sharing their work, and we were more productive as a team.

--- layout: post title: Cascalog Performance Tuning (or avoiding Java reflection at all costs) categories: - Clojure - Distributed Systems - Hadoop tags: [] status: publish type: post published: true meta: _wpas_done_twitter: '1' _elasticsearch_indexed_on: '2012-07-14 15:43:15' --- Recently I've been working on a project to both learn and do a proof of concept using Hadoop for some data processing. The most I've done with Hadoop until this was a couple tutorials using word count examples. This project called for much more processing and the prospect of trying to figure out how to do that in straight MapReduce was daunting. I was aware of Cascading and since all of our work is done in Java these days I decided to give that a try. So the first prototype was developed using Cascading and proved fairly successful. The code was kind of a mess though as Java code of any size tends to be. Since I have done a little bit of programming in Clojure over the last year or so I knew of Cascalog so decided to give it a try and see how it would compare with just doing it ourselves in Cascading. Let me summarize the project first then I'll share what I learned in the process. The project is to take data in the form of pipe delimited text files that come in every night from about 2,000 individual stores, compute some aggregated stats and populate an Oracle database table with the results. Each line in the text files is an individual item sold at the store and the files contain all sales at the store for the last seven years or so. The Hadoop job needs to run over all the transactions in all of the files to calculate the totals. (I realize there are better ways to do this by only getting and processing updated data each day, but this is more of a learning project and evaluation of Hadoop, Cascading and Cascalog). All in all there are about 480 million lines in all of the files. The incoming data looks like this:

The Cascading job that we created processes this data in about an hour and a half on my little 3 node MapR Hadoop cluster. So that was the standard I was using as I started rewriting it in Cascalog. My first results were very disappointing. The first attempt ran in about 3 hours. This first attempt used several custom operations including about 4 different aggregators. In the Cascading job we had put all of the calculations into a buffer instead of several aggregators so that we only have to run over the incoming data once and calculate all the stats at once time. So my first idea to speed it up was to rewrite it to use a single buffer to do most of the calculations. Doing that gave me an 11% speed up. The time to run went from about 180 minutes to 150 minutes. Still not good enough. A little more reading led me to this posting on MapR's Q & A forum. I had noticed before that the job was only using one reducer and thought that was strange. Now I knew why it was doing that. I changed my job to use 5 reducers and that resulted in another 13% speed up (from 150 minutes to 130 minutes). Getting closer. After posting a question looking for some advice on the Cascalog Google group Nathan suggested profiling the job using a tool such as YourKit. At about the same time I just happened to be reading the chapter on Java interop in the Clojure Programming book by Chas Emerick, Brian Carper and Christophe Grand. That chapter contains some great information on type hinting in Clojure to avoid Java reflection. When I fired up YourKit and profiled the job I saw immediately that there was a lot of reflection going on. The most time consuming method call trace was:
clojure.lang.Var.applyTo(ISeq) ====> clojure.lang.Reflector.invokeInstanceMethod(Object, String, Object[])and many others just like that. So I proceeded to try to eliminate all Java reflection calls from the YourKit profile of the job. Here is one example. This snippet of code extracts the month number from a formatted date string using the parse-month function [sourcecode language="clojure" light="true"] (def date-formatter (DateTimeFormat/forPattern "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSSSSS")) (defn parse-local-date-time [date] "Returns a Joda Time LocalDateTime object from the given string using the date-formatter format." (. date-formatter parseLocalDateTime date)) (defn month-from-local-date-time [date-time] "Returns the month number from the given Joda Time LocalDateTime object." (. date-time getMonthOfYear)) (defn parse-month [date-string] "Returns the month number from the given date string." (month-from-local-date-time (parse-local-date-time date-string))) [/sourcecode] Can you spot the reflection going on here? No, I couldn't either. So using (set! *warn-on-reflection*) in the repl and compiling the functions one by one I figured it out. Here is the hinted code: [sourcecode language="clojure" light="true"] (def ^DateTimeFormatter date-formatter (DateTimeFormat/forPattern "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSSSSS")) (defn parse-local-date-time [^String date] "Returns a Joda Time LocalDateTime object from the given string using the date-formatter format." (. date-formatter parseLocalDateTime date)) (defn month-from-local-date-time [^LocalDateTime date-time] "Returns the month number from the given Joda Time LocalDateTime object." (. date-time getMonthOfYear)) (defn parse-month [date-string] "Returns the month number from the given date string." (month-from-local-date-time (parse-local-date-time date-string))) [/sourcecode] There were quite a few functions that I added type hints to. This change resulted in a 38% speedup over the test with 5 reducers (130 minutes to 80 minutes). Now the job is running in about the same time as the Cascading job is. The next optimization I'm going to work on is speeding up all the data processing. The YourKit profile shows a lot of time being spent in the Joda time library working with the dates and I know I'm calling those methods way too often as you can probably see from the code above. The Cascalog code is much easier to read and think about. Now that I have performance on par with raw Cascading I'm pretty happy and will move on with a couple other tasks in this project using Cascalog. I have learned that if you care about the performance of your Clojure code you HAVE to type hint a lot to avoid any Java reflection from places in your code that have high call rates.

Illuman is a fellowship of men transforming men through a power greater than ourselves. Our experience shows us that the pain we do not transform we will transmit, so we seek a life-changing spirituality. We carry on the work started by Fr. Richard Rohr which recovers traditional patterns of male initiation, affirms a masculine path to healing, reveals the true and false self, and honors the path of descent.
We do this through the power of ritual, image, story, and council. Our primary concern is inner work that expands the depth and breadth of love in ourselves and that makes a difference in the world. We seek to form future generations of men who will restore these practices — serving to build a world that celebrates the beauty of all beings.
These are our five touchstones of spiritual practice:
Council is strictly confidential. These are the Four Intentions:
The tradition of Council is an ancient spiritual practice. It is not:
Council is a place uncommon to the rest of life where you are invited to put down your many identities and roles you play, reconnect to Life itself, and sink deeper into your true self. Bring your pain, strength, power, weakness, glory, blessing, or whatever else it is that you are to address at this moment in life.
Council is a place to tackle life head-on, as awake and honest to your reality as you dare. A large part of our practice of Council is telling our own stories. It is also a place to practice a radical form of listening to others and the spirit. We want to be open to the Mystery of the spirit that arises within the wisdom and discernment of the Council.
We recognize that we run out of words in the presence of something larger than ourselves. This necessarily widens the circle of men, extending our vision to a wider community to which we also have to listen. When we are touched, moved, and inspired by Council, something new is created in us that anchors these primal teachings in the personal realm of direct experience.

One of the main uses for a grid based design is to basically arranging your elements in order and algined keeping your page concept neat and managable as grids encourages form. By utlizing a grid system, you're creating a set concept and way of organising all your elements promoting seamless layout.
Responsive website design ensures users have a good viewing experience no matter what type of device they use. Today Google prioritizes mobile-friendly sites in its search results algorithm. Using HTML and CSS to resize, hide, shrink, enlarge, or move the content to make it look good on on a variety of devices and window or screen sizes. Recent work also considers the viewer proximity as part of the viewing context as an extension for RWD.
Semantic structure is a fancy term for an organization that represents meaning. For example, an English sentence is a semantic structure. Consider the following sentence structure: subject - verb - object.

创建服务¶
Now that we have our 创建应用程序, we can create a new API endpoint to store messages.
Generating a service¶
In Feathers any API endpoint is represented as a ../api/services, which we already learned about in the basics/services. To generate a new service, we can run:
feathers generate service
First we have to choose what kind of service we’d like to create. You can choose amongst many databases and ORMs but for this guide we will go with the default NeDB. NeDB is a database that stores its data locally in a file and requires no additional configuration or database server.
Next, when asked for the name of the service, enter messages
. Then
keep the default path (/messages
) by pressing enter.
The database connection string can also be answered with the default. (In this case of NeDB, this is the path where it should store its database files.)
Confirming the last prompt will generate some files and wire our service up:
Et voilà! We have a fully functional REST and real-time API for our messages.
The generated files¶
As we can see, several files were created:
src/services/messages/messages.service.js
- The service setup file which registers the service in a configure functionbasics/hooks that should be registered on the service.
src/models/messages.model.js
- The model for our messages. Since we are using NeDB, this will simply instantiate the filesystem database.test/services/messages.test.js
- A Mocha test for the service. Initially, it only tests that the service exists.
Testing the API¶
If we now start our API with
npm start
We can go to localhost:3030/messages and will see an (empty) response from our new messages service.
We can also POST
new messages and PUT
, PATCH
and DELETE
existing messages (via /messages/<_id>
), for example from the
command line using CURL:
curl 'http://localhost:3030/messages/' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-binary '{ "text": "Hello from the command line!" }'
Or with a REST client, e.g. Postman, using this button:
If we now go to localhost:3030/messages again we will see the newly created message(s).

These pretty biscuits are flavoured with orange zest and cocoa.
For this recipe you will need a template to cut out the biscuits (see tip) or a 6cm/2½in round biscuit cutter, 5 piping bags fitted with small plain nozzles and an electric mixer.
In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar using a wooden spoon until just combined.
In a separate bowl, sift in the flour, cornflour, baking powder and cocoa powder. Mix well and add to the butter mixture. Stir in the golden syrup and orange zest. Mix until incorporated then, using your hands, knead gently until everything is fully combined. Wrap the dough in cling film and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Preheat the oven to or 185C/165C Fan/Gas 4½ and line a large baking tray with baking paper.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured work surface until it is about 5mm/¼in thick.  Place on the prepared tray and place in the freezer for 10 minutes or the fridge for 30 minutes.
After chilling, bake the biscuits for approximately 17 minutes. Let the biscuits cool on the tray for 10 minutes, then transfer to cooling racks.
Meanwhile, make the icing. Put the icing sugar in a large mixing bowl or freestanding mixer. Add half the orange juice and mix on a medium-high speed for 5 minutes – the texture should be thick but runny enough to pipe, add extra juice if it’s too thick.
Spoon about a sixth of the icing into a piping bag fitted with a small, plain nozzle. Pipe a line of icing right around the edge of the biscuits to form an outline, ensuring there are no gaps (this will be filled with thinner icing later using a ‘flooding’ technique). Set aside for 15 minutes to allow the icing to set. Any leftover icing can be returned to the main bowl.
Put half the remaining icing in a separate bowl and mix in enough orange juice to make a pourable consistency (it should be thin enough to slowly run off a teaspoon). To fill in the outline piped in the thicker icing, use a teaspoon to spoon the thin icing into the middle of the biscuit and gently nudge it towards the edges. Shake the biscuit gently to smooth the surface and ensure the icing completely fills the outline. Repeat with the remaining biscuits then set aside for 20-30 minutes, or until the icing is set.
To decorate, divide the remaining thicker icing between 4 bowls. Use gel colouring to make green, orange, pink and yellow icing. Spoon the coloured icings into piping bags fitted with small plain nozzles.
Decorate each biscuit by piping a small bouquet of flowers, using the green to make stalks and the other colours as flower heads. Set aside to dry before serving.


Oh my goodness.
So I have smoked a few times before this one experience. Maybe a cigarette or two, or a cigarello. It was never much. And I never seemed to inhale right.
But recently, I tried smoking two cigarettes to chase that buzz. I woke up and grabbed two cigarettes, walked outside, lit one up. I managed to catch the buzz, too. I was dizzy and lightheaded and could hardly walk right. Due to my small size it came on fast and hard, and about halfway through my second cigarette, I felt terrible. Words can't describe it.
I immediately put it out the second one, ran inside, up the stairs, and jumped on my bed. I started to sweat immense amounts of sweat. Then a painful wave of nausea hit me. My heart was beating like mad. After about 10 minutes of this, I snapped out of it, but the nausea was still there. I wobbled out of my room and flopped down on my couch. I was holding down puke. I laid down on my couch for over an hour and finally found the strength to sit up, and then about 20 minutes of sitting up, I could walk around.
I still had a mild nausea for awhile and it wouldn't pass. Who knows how long it went on for.

Cigarettes may kill, but who cares when you feel like you're going to die?

This is the yearly amount you want to earn from your investments in today's dollars.
Your current age. It's used to figure out how old you will be when you reach your goal.
This is the currency symbol used when displaying amounts.
By default, Ballistic will assume that you expect to receive your goal income indefinitely. Selecting this option and entering your expected lifespan will cause it to instead assume that your investments will be expended when you reach the end of your estimated lifespan. This is a common feature in retirement plans based on tight budgets. Note: Depleting principal calculations are more complex, so estimates are currently restricted to within six months of the real date. Accuracy to within the month will be added once caching is implemented.
By default, Ballistic will not consider inflation. By enabling this option and entering an inflation rate, Ballistic will use the rate in it's calculations. It is generally a good idea to turn this feature on. It is not on by default due to the volatility of inflation rates between currencies and even within the same currency.
