The Pleasure Of His Company (1961)
Grade: 42
The sugary stepdaughter (Debbie Reynolds) of a wealthy businessman is to be married. She lives in a mansion with her mother (Lilli Palmer) and stepfather (Gary Merrill). She adores her real father (Fred Astaire), whom she does not remember, and wants him to appear at her wedding to give her away.
Astaire is a hedonistic world traveller. He speaks many languages fluently, and is sufficiently famous that his daughter has been able to keep a scrapbook of newspaper articles and photos of his adventures. While superficially charming, he is self-centered to the point where he regards his external environment (including other people) as mere objects to be manipulated for his own pleasure.
Astaire arrives at the mansion and makes himself at home, rearranging the furniture and changing the wedding plans, infuriating Merrill. The mother, having married and divorced Astaire, is immune to his charm, but for Reynolds, her father is still the greatest. Reynolds maternal grandfather has also visited and, amused with the bickering between Astaire, Merrill and Palmer, decides to stay at the mansion until after the wedding.
There are lots of long conversations and arguments between the primary characters throughout the movie. These grow tedious and repetitious. Everyone excepts Reynolds drinks and smokes constantly.
Astaire gives Reynolds a tour of the town, filling her pretty head with his prattle as if wooing her. On one occasion, her fiance (Tab Hunter) is obliged to come along, and steams with resentment at Astaire's high-handed behavior. Hunter and Reynolds get into such a row over Astaire that Reynolds' parents have to smooth things over.
Now the question is, will Astaire succeed in keeping Reynolds from marrying Hunter? On the day of the wedding rehearsal, Astaire falls from a horse while impressing Reynolds, and shows up at the church in a sling. He triggers another long-winded argument between the betrothed couple.
Reynolds wants to postpone the wedding to tend to Astaire's injury. Curiously, Astaire has a change of heart, does not want sympathy, and is able to reconcile the couple. After the wedding, the stepfather has something new to worry about: he discovers that Astaire has two flight reservations to Japan and concludes that Astaire is taking his ex-wife with him. But it turns out that Astaire is just taking Toy, who is the family servant and a grating stereotype.

How elastic networks respond to deformation depends sensitively on both the properties of the constituent filaments and on the network topology. For the former, how individual filaments respond to being stretched or compressed affects the response at the network level. For the latter, important properties include how and where the filaments are connected.
My research focuses on using computer simulations of
model networks to understand this behaviour and to find
ways of controlling it, focusing in particular on
so-called marginal networks.
Modelling elastics networks
Perhaps the simplest model elastic networks are lattice-based networks of Hookean springs. These are constructed by placing network nodes on lattice sites and then connecting all nearest neighbours with springs. The number of connections at each node is given by the connectivity z, and the initial value will depend on the lattice used. In 2d, for example, beginning from a triangular lattice will give z=6, while a square lattice has z=4. The network topology can then be controlled by randomly diluting the network. That is, by randomly removing springs one can control the value of z. Since we are using Hookean springs, the only response to deformation is when the springs are stretched or compressed.
This lattice based method can also be used in 3d, using,
for example, simple cubic (z=6) or
FCC (z=12) based lattices. Other,
more complex network geometries include Mikado networks,
where,
as in
the game, sticks of equal length are dropped
randomly. Overlapping sticks are then cross-linked to form a
network. The key parameter here is the density of sticks,
which is controlled by randomly removing them. Even more
removed from lattice based networks are so-called
random-bond networks, where network nodes are placed
randomly and randomly chosen pairs are then
connected.
Marginal networks: Highly responsive soft-matter materials
As filaments are removed from a network, it will become increasingly easier to deform it. Measures of a network's rigidity, such as the shear modulus G (defining how strongly the network resists shear deformation), will decrease as the connectivity z is decreased. If all excess filaments are removed the network will be at the point where it is just mechanically stable: remove one more filament and the network is under-constrained and can be deformed with no cost in energy; add one more filament, and the network is over-constrained and will be stable.
In 1864
Maxwell showed that this point is approximately
reached when the number of degrees of freedom in the
network (given by the number of network nodes) is just
equal to the number of constraints (given by the springs
connecting the nodes). In d
dimensions this gives a critical connectivity between
rigid and floppy networks of
approximately zc≈
2d. When a network is at this so called
Maxwell-point it is said to be a marginal network, since
it is at the edge, or margins, of mechanical
stability. Marginal networks have many interesting and
potentially useful properties, as they are both unusually
stiff and highly responsive to external forces or fields,
properties which are desirable
in smart
materials (materials which are designed to have
properties that can be significantly changed in a
controlled manner). Much theoretical work has looked at
how marginal networks respond to applied forces and
fields.
Thermal fluctuations
Consider a network of springs at or below the marginal point. It costs no energy to apply a small deformation to such a network. However, by, for example, shearing the network, one reduces the number of states that the network can assume. This results in a decrease in the system entropy and hence an increase in the system free-energy. Therefore, while there is no energy cost associated with (small) network deformations, there is a free energy cost, meaning that the network will begin to resist deformation. Based on the idea of entropic elasticity, when one considers a mechanically floppy network the strength of the response to deformation is expected to scale linearly with the temperature, and to be independent of the mechanical energy of the spring, defined by its spring constant k.
Using Monte
Carlo simulations, it is possible to take thermal
fluctuations into account when modelling elastic
networks. While it is indeed the case that sub-marginal
networks exhibit a linear response, that
is G ∝ T, with no dependence
on k, marginal networks exhibit a
response whose dependence on temperature is
sub-linear. Triangular-lattice based networks diluted to
the marginal point exhibit a shear modulus that scales
as G ∝
T1/2k1/2. This not only gives
two control parameters for the network response, namely
the spring constant and the temperature, but also results
in a network that has an anomalously high rigidity. That
is, when dealing with small temperatures, sub-linear powers
result in larger values
of G. Such results are not
limited to lattice based
networks: random
bond networks exhibit the same qualitative behaviour,
albeit with a different scaling constant,
with G ∝
T2/3k1/3.
Viscoelastic networks: dynamical behaviour
Another interesting aspect of marginal networks is their behaviour in the presence of a solvent. When a dynamical shear (e.g. a shear strain with a fixed amplitude which oscillates with frequency ω) is applied to a network in a fluid, a viscous drag will act on it. Furthermore, as the network collide with the fluid particles it generates a hydrodynamic flow field, allowing the network filaments to interact with each other via the fluid. For such a dynamically oscillating system one can measure the dynamical shear modulus G* = G' + G'', with G' the storage modulus (the stored energy, i.e. the elastic part from the springs) and G'' the loss modulus (the energy dissipated as heat, i.e. the viscous part).
For networks which are mechanically floppy one would
expect the modulus to behave as
a Maxwell
fluid, where the storage modulus, for example, scales
with the shear frequency as G'
∝
ω2. Using
computer simulations we show that this is indeed the
case for sub-marginal networks. For marginal networks,
however, one finds, as for temperature, a sub-linear
scaling, with G' ∝
ωαk1-α,
with α<1, again resulting in
a network which is anomalously rigid. Interestingly, the
exponent α depends on the
strength of the hydrodynamic interactions between the
network nodes, and can in fact be controlled by varying
parameters such as the density of the fluid, giving another
potential control parameter for the system
behaviour.
And in reality: Detecting marginal networks in experiments
While marginal networks could potentially be very useful materials, experimental evidence for the critical behaviour associated with them has thus-far been limited. It is firstly very difficult to create a network whose connectivity is at or close to the marginal point. Secondly, simulation and theoretical evidence indicates that the interesting behaviour occurs when the constituent filaments are relatively stiff. Synthetic polymer networks tend to allow for greater control over the network topology, but they tend to be relatively soft. Biopolymers are much stiffer, but one has less control over the network topology. Recent advances in the production of synthetic polymers have produced networks that are of comparable stiffness to biopolymer networks, while allowing for control over the network topology, potentially paving the way for producing marginal networks.
This still leaves the question of how to detect marginal
networks. One solution would be to look for signs of
marginal behaviour in the network's response to
deformation. Unsurprisingly, it is not really feasible in
experiments to vary parameters such as the temperature by
the many orders of magnitude that is possible in computer
simulations. However, one parameter which can be varied over
a sufficiently large range is the shear
stress σ. Using
both experimental studies and computer simulations we
have found that the response of networks of synthetic
semi-flexible polymer to shear stress exhibits marginal-like
behaviour, scaling as G' ∝
σαk1-α, even
in networks well below the marginal point, giving the first
experimental evidence for such behaviour in filamentous
polymer networks.

I'm using this USB to UART chip: http://prolificusa.com/portfolio/pl2303hx-rev-d-usb-to-serial-bridge-controller/
Can anyone help me??
Thanks!!
Re: [SOLVED] Error in uploading sketch on emonTx V. 3.2.1
Switched RX and TX was my problem in this situation.
Re: [SOLVED] Error in uploading sketch on emonTx V. 3.2.1
Check your programming cable is 5V. It it's 3.3V you will need to provide the emonTx with 5V USB power at the same time as programming. Also check pinout of your cable matches:
http://shop.openenergymonitor.com/programmer-usb-to-serial-uart/
Also ensure you have selected board type to be Arduino Uno in Arduino IDE
Re: [SOLVED] Error in uploading sketch on emonTx V. 3.2.1
Thanks guys!
The problem was that I must have the reset button pressed when upload the firmware, but I don't knew this! :)
Now I have to test it with emoncms via serial.
Thanks
Re: [SOLVED] Error in uploading sketch on emonTx V. 3.2.1
The problem was that I must have the reset button pressed when upload the firmware, but I don't knew this! :)
It's good that you discovered that old trusty work-around. In theory you shouldn't have to do that. There'll be a pin on your emonTx FTDI header variously referred to as DTR or RTS. A pulse on that pin will have the same affect as pressing the RESET button. The Arduino IDE will attempt to pulse that pin before it starts a download. So if you want the convenience of not having to reach over and hit a well-timed RESET each time you want to reflash, you might want to investigate why that path isn't working.
Re: [SOLVED] Error in uploading sketch on emonTx V. 3.2.1
Hi,
How can I connect the RTS pin? My USB-to-UART chip has only 5 pins: GND, TX, RX, 5V, 3.3V.
Re: [SOLVED] Error in uploading sketch on emonTx V. 3.2.1
The chip you referenced above seems to have a full set of modem control signals:

but if it doesn't, then I guess you can't.

Any ideas?
Re: [SOLVED] Error in uploading sketch on emonTx V. 3.2.1
Firstly I would hold off trying to upload a new sketch until you have successful communication via the programmer.
If you are uploading to the v3.x in this post http://openenergymonitor.org/emon/node/10166#comment-28591 it is a v3.2 not a v3.4 so the firmware isn't correct but that would normally just stop it working once loaded not stop it loading so you may have more than 1 issue here.
When did you update your IDE? 1.6 had some bugfixes a couple of days ago.
Does the existing sketch output anything to serial? just to test the programmer, lead, drivers etc.can you get any response in the serial console within the IDE ?
Is the programmer orientated correctly? (it's very easy to get it upside down) what are the leds doing?
Paul
Re: [SOLVED] Error in uploading sketch on emonTx V. 3.2.1
Paul,
I goofed. I had the programmer installed upside down. I was paying more attention to the orientation of the programmer (led up seemed like the logical way to insert it). The sketch uploaded correctly now.
Thanks for your help!
Re: [SOLVED] Error in uploading sketch on emonTx V. 3.2.1
Hi,
if your programmer doesn't have the RTS pin [ programmer from shop has RTS pin ] you have to press RESET (on board) just before that the upload starts. More precisely, immediately after this: Global variables use 1,516 bytes (74%) of dynamic memory, leaving 532 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2,048 bytes.
Re: [SOLVED] Error in uploading sketch on emonTx V. 3.2.1
"if your programmer doesn't have the RTS pin..."
The programmer from the shop DOES have RTS, so this comment does not apply here.
Re: [SOLVED] Error in uploading sketch on emonTx V. 3.2.1
So, it's possible use only stuff from the shop?!? Mah...
Re: [SOLVED] Error in uploading sketch on emonTx V. 3.2.1
Not at all and that is not what Robert was implying!
This is pksmiths opening statement
Since we all now know he is using a "shop programmer" which we also know does have the required RTS, the comment
as Robert points out to prevent distraction
Many people use other programmers and it may be relevant to them, but not in this case !
Paul
Re: [SOLVED] Error in uploading sketch on emonTx V. 3.2.1
Sure Paul,
you are right!! I edit my post!


(Part 7 of 8)YOGA FOR YELLOWBELLIES
Dear Children,
Third LectureDo what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
1. You will remember that last week our study of Yoga had led us to the Fathers of the Church. We saw that their philosophy and science, in following an independent route, had brought us to the famous exclamation of Tertullian: 'certum est quia ineptum!' How right the Church has been to deny the authority of Reason!
2. We are almost tempted to enquire for a moment what the Church means by 'faith.' St. Paul tells us that faith is 'the substance of things hoped for; the evidence of things unseen.' I do not think, then, that we are to imagine this word faith to mean what that lecherous gross-bellied boor, Martin Luther, maintained. The faith of which he speaks is anything but a substance, and as for evidence, it is nothing but the power, as the schoolboy said, of believing that which we know to be untrue. To have any sensible meaning at all, faith must mean experience, and that view is in exact accord with the conclusion to which we were led in my last lecture. Nothing is any use to us unless it be a certainty unshakeable by criticism of any kind, and there is only one thing in the universe which complies with these conditions: the direct experience of spiritual truth. Here, and here only, do we find a position in which the great religious minds of all times and all climes coincide. It is necessarily above dogma, because dogma consists of a collection of intellectual statements, each of which, and also its contradictory, can easily be disputed and overthrown.
3. You are probably aware that in the Society of Jesus the postulants are trained to debate on all these highly controversial subjects. They put up a young man to prove any startling blasphemy that happens to occur to them. And the more shocked the young man is, the better the training for his mind, and the better service will he give to the Society in the end; but only if his mind has been completely disabused of its confidence in its own rightness, or even in the possibility of being right.
4. The rationalist, in his shallow fashion, always contends that this training is the abnegation of mental freedom. On the contrary, it is the only way to obtain that freedom. In the same Society the training in obedience is based on a similar principle. The priest has to do what his Superior orders him-'perinde ac cadaver.' Protestants always represent that this is the most outrageous and indefensible tyranny. 'The poor devil,' they say, 'is bludgeoned into having no will of his own.' That is pure nonsense. By abnegating his will through the practice of holy obedience his will has become enormously strong, so strong that none of his natural instincts, desires, or habits can intrude. He has freed his will of all these inhibitions. He is a perfect function of the machinery of the Order. In the General of the Society is concentrated the power of all those separate wills, just as in the human body every cell should be completely devoted in its particular quality to the concentrated will of the organism.
5. In other words, the Society of Jesus has created a perfect imitation of the skeleton of the original creation, living man. It has complied with the divinely instituted order of things, and that is why we see that the body, which was never numerically important, has yet been one of the greatest influences in the development of Europe. It has not always worked perfectly, but that has not been the fault of the system; and, even as it is, its record has been extraordinary. And one of the most remarkable things about it is that its greatest and most important achievements have been in the domain of science and philosophy. It has done nothing in religion; or, rather, where it has meddled with religion it has only done harm. What a mistake! And why? For the simple reason that it was in a position to take no notice of religion; all these matters were decided for it by the Pope, or by the Councils of the Church, and the Society was therefore able to free itself from the perplexities of religion, in exactly the same way as the novice obtains complete freedom from his moral responsibilities by sinking his personal phantasies in the will of the Superior.
6. I should like to mention here that the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius are in their essence really admirable Yoga practices. They have, it is true, a tinge of magical technique, and they have been devised to serve a dogmatic end. That was, however, necessary, and it was good magic too, at that, because the original will of the Founder was to produce a war engine as a counterblast to the Reformation. He was very wise to devise a plan, irrespective of its abstract merits as philosophy, which would most efficiently serve that single purpose. The only trouble has been that this purpose was not sufficiently cosmic in scope to resist internal forces. Having attained the higher planes by practice of these exercises, they found that the original purpose of the Society was not really adequate to their powers; they were, so to speak, over-engined. They stupidly invaded the spiritual sphere of the other authorities whom they were founded to support, and thus we see them actually quarrelling with the Pope, while failing signally to obtain possession of the Papacy. Being thus thwarted in their endeavours, and confused in their purpose, they redoubled the ardour of their exercises; and it is one of the characteristics of all spiritual exercises, if honestly and efficiently performed, that they constantly lead you on to higher planes, where all dogmatic considerations, all intellectual concepts, are invalid. Hence, we found that it is not altogether surprising that the General of the Order and his immediate circle have been supposed to be atheists. If that were true, it would only show that they have been corrupted by their preoccupation with the practical politics of the world, which it is impossible to conduct on any but an atheistic basis; it is brainless hypocrisy to pretend otherwise, and should be restricted to the exclusive use of the Foreign Office.
It would, perhaps, be more sensible to suppose that the heads of the Order have really attained the greatest heights of spiritual knowledge and freedom, and it is quite possible that the best term to describe their attitude would be either Pantheistic or Gnostic.
7. These considerations should be of the greatest use to us now that we come to discuss in more detail the results of the Yoga practices. There is, it is true, a general similarity between the ecstatic outbursts of the great mystics all over the world. Comparisons have often been drawn by students of the subject. I will only detain you with one example: 'Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.' What is this injunction? It is a generalisation of St. Augustine's 'Love, and do what thou wilt.' But in 'The Book of the Law', lest the hearer should be deluded into a spasm of antinomianism, there is a further explanation: 'Love is the law, love under will.'
8. However, the point is that it is no use discussing the results of Yoga, whether that Yoga be the type recommended by Lao-Tze, or Patanjali, or St. Ignatius Loyola, because for our first postulate we have: that these subjects are incapable of discussion. To argue about them only causes us to fall into the pit of Because, and there to perish with the dogs of Reason. The only use, therefore, of describing our experiences is to enable students to get some sort of idea of the sort of thing that is going to happen to them when they attain success in the practices of Yoga. We have David saying in the Psalms: 'I hate thoughts, but Thy law do I love.' We have St. Paul saying: 'The carnal mind is enmity against God.' One might almost say that the essence of St. Paul's Epistles is a struggle against mind: 'We war not against flesh and blood'-you know the rest-I can't be bothered to quote it all-Eph. vi. 12.
9. It is St. Paul, I think, who describes Satan, which is his name for the enemy, owing to his ignorance of the history of the world, as the Prince of the Power of the Air; that is, of the Ruach, of the intellect; and we must never forget that what operated the conversion of St. Paul was the Vision on the road to Damascus. It is particularly significant that he disappeared into the Desert of Arabia for three years before coming forward as the Apostle to the Gentiles. St. Paul was a learned Rabbi; he was the favourite pupil of the best expositor of the Hebrew Law, and in the single moment of his Vision all his arguments were shattered at a single stroke!
10. We are not told that St. Paul said anything at the time, but went quietly on his journey. That is the great lesson: not to discuss the results. Those of you who possess a copy of 'The Equinox of the Gods' may have been very much surprised at the extraordinary injunction in the Comment: the prohibition of all discussion of the Book. I myself did not fully understand that injunction; I do so now.
11. Let us now deal with a few of the phenomena which occur during the practices of Pratyahara.
Very early during my retirement in Kandy, I had been trying to concentrate by slanting my eyes towards the tip of my nose. This, by the way, is not a good practice; one is liable to strain the eyes. But what happened was that I woke up in the night; my hand touched a nose; I immediately concluded that some one was in the room. Not at all; I only thought so because my nose had passed away from the region of my observation by the practice of concentrating upon it.
12. The same sort of thing occurs with adequate concentration on any object. It is connected, curiously enough, with the phenomena of invisibility. When your mind has gone so deeply into itself that it is unconscious of itself and its surroundings, one of the most ordinary results is that the body becomes invisible to other people. I do not think that it would make any difference for a photograph, though I have no evidence for saying this; but it has happened to me on innumerable occasions. It was an almost daily occurrence when I was in Sicily.
13. A party of us used to go down to a very beautiful bay of sand, whence jutted fantastically-shaped islets of rock; it is rimmed by cliffs encrusted with jewels of marine life. The way was over a bare hillside; except for a few hundred yards of vineyard there was no cover-nay, not for a rabbit. But it often happened that one of the party would turn to speak to me, and fail to see me. I have often known this to happen when I was dictating; my chair was apparently empty.
Incidentally, this faculty, which I think is exercised, as a rule, unconsciously, may become an actual magical power.
14. It happened to me on one occasion that a very large number of excited people were looking for me with no friendly intentions; but I had a feeling of lightness, of ghostliness, as if I were a shadow moving soundlessly about the street; and in actual fact none of the people who were looking for me gave the slightest indication that they were aware of my presence.
There is a curious parallel to this incident in one of the Gospels where we read that 'they picked up stones to stone him, but he, passing through the midst of them, went his way.'
15. There is another side to this business of Pratyahara, one that may be described as completely contradictory against what we have been talking about.
If you concentrate your attention upon one portion of the body with the idea of investigating it, that is, I suppose, allowing the mind to move within very small limits, the whole of your consciousness becomes concentrated in that small part. I used to practise this a good deal in my retirement by Lake Pasquaney. I would usually take a finger or a toe, and identify my whole consciousness with the small movements which I allowed it to make. It would be futile to go into much detail about this experience. I can only say that until you acquire the power you have no idea of the sheer wonder and delight of that endlessly quivering orgasm.
16. If I remember rightly, this practice and its result were one of the principal factors which enabled me afterwards to attain what is called the Trance of Wonder, which pertains to the Grade of a Master of the Temple, and is a sort of complete understanding of the organism of the universe, and an ecstatic adoration of its marvel.
This Trance is very much higher than the Beatific Vision, for always in the latter it is the heart-the Phren-which is involved; in the former it is the Nous, the divine intelligence of man, whereas the heart is only the centre of the intellectual and moral faculties.
17. But, so long as you are occupying yourself with the physical, your results will only be on that plane; and the principal effect of these concentrations on small parts of the body is the understanding, or rather the appreciation, of sensuous pleasure. This, however, is infinitely refined, exquisitely intense. It is often possible to acquire a technique by which the skilled artist can produce this pleasure in another person. Map out, say, three square inches of skin anywhere, and it is possible by extreme gentle touches to excite in the patient all the possible sensations of pleasure of which that person is capable. I know that this is a very extraordinary claim, but it is a very easy one to substantiate. The only thing I am afraid of is that experts may be carried away by the rewards, instead of getting the real value of the lesson, which is that the gross pleasures of the senses are absolutely worthless.
This practice, so far as it is useful to all, should be regarded as the first step towards emancipation from the thrall of the bodily desires, of the sensations self-destructive, of the thirst for pleasure.
18. I think this is a good opportunity to make a little digression in favour of Mahasatipatthana. This practice was recommended by the Buddha in very special terms, and it is the only one of which he speaks so highly. He told his disciples that if they only stuck to it, sooner or later they would reach full attainment. The practice consists of an analysis of the universe in terms of consciousness. You begin by taking some very simple and regular bodily exercise, such as the movement of the body in walking, or the movements of the lungs in breathing. You keep on noting what happens: 'I am breathing out; I am breathing in; I am holding my breath,' as the case may be. Quite without warning, one is appalled by the shock of the discovery that what you have been thinking is not true. You have no right to say: 'I am breathing in.' All that you really know is that there is a breathing in.
19.  And very soon, if you practise assiduously, you get another shock. You have no right to say that there is a breathing. All you know is that there is a sensation of that kind. Again you change your conception of your observation, and one day make the discovery that the sensation has disappeared. All you know is that there is perception of a sensation of breathing in or breathing out. Continue, and that is once more discovered to be an illusion. What you find is that there is a tendency to perceive a sensation of the natural phenomena.
20. The former stages are easy to assimilate intellectually; one assents to them immediately that one discovers them, but with regard to the 'tendency,' this is not the case, at least it was not so for my own part. It took me a long while before I understood what was meant by 'tendency.' To help you to realise this I should like to find a good illustration. For instance, a clock does nothing at all but offer indications of the time. It is so constructed that this is all we can know about it. We can argue about whether the time is correct, and that means nothing at all, unless, for example, we know whether the clock is controlled electrically from an astronomical station where the astronomer happens to be sane, and in what part of the world the clock is, and so on.
21. I remember once when I was in Teng-Yueh, just inside the Chinese frontier in Yunnan. The hour of noon was always telegraphed to the Consulate from Pekin. This was a splendid idea, because electricity is practically instantaneous. The unfortunate thing was, if it was unfortunate, which I doubt, that the messages had to be relayed at a place called Yung Chang. The operators there had the good sense to smoke opium most of the time, so occasionally a batch of telegrams would arrive, a dozen or so in a bunch, stating that it was noon at Pekin on various dates! So all the gross phenomena, all these sensations and perceptions, are illusion. All that one could really say was that there was a tendency on the part of some lunatic in Pekin to tell the people at Teng-Yueh what o'clock it was.
22. But even this Fourth Skandha is not final. With practice, it also appears as an illusion, and one remains with nothing but the bare consciousness of the existence of such a tendency.
I cannot tell you very much about this, because I have not worked it out very thoroughly myself, but I very much doubt whether 'consciousness' has any meaning at all, as a translation of the word Vinnanam. I think that a better translation would be 'experience,' used in the sense in which we have been using it hitherto, as the direct reality behind and beyond all remark.
23. I hope you will appreciate how difficult it is to give a reasoned description, however tentative, of these phenomena, still less to classify them properly. They have a curious trick of running one into the other. This, I believe, is one of the reasons why it has been impossible to find any really satisfactory literature about Yoga at all. The more advanced one's progress, the less one knows, and the more one understands. The effect is simply additional evidence of what I have been saying all this time: that it is very little use discussing things; what is needed is continuous devotion to the practice.
Love is the law, love under will.

MP Plugs can be used to create modular applications with setup + loop structure common in microcomputer and GUI programming.
Latest release can be found here. This documentation was last updated for version v0.4
.
This documentation is maintained in a docs
folder. If you find an error or a lacking topic please open an issue or a PR.
atom_one_dark
theme was used) Both the package and this documentation are released under MIT license.
pip install mpplugs
git clone https://github.com/Jakub21/mpplugs.git
python setup.py install
MP Plugs can be used to create modular programs. Here's how to do it.
init
method of each plugin is executedupdate
method is executed in loopquit
method is calledMP Plugs enforces coding practices that might be considered unorthodox, beware
First, create main program file program.py
. This code runs in main process. Other processes use this one to communicate with each other.
import mpplugs as plg # Import mp plugs
if __name__ == '__main__':
prog = plg.Program('MyBasicProgram') # Create program
prog.updateSettings({ # Method for changing program settings
'Compiler.pluginDirectories': ['./demoPlugins'], # Add plugins to your program
})
prog.preload() # Prepare plugins
prog.run() # Create plugin instances in separate processes, exec init and start loop
This code creates program instance, then tells compiler where to look for plugins. The preload
method compiles plugins into single-file form. Those files are deleted once your program stops.
Note that run
method is blocking the main process.
Main process is only used to coordinate tasks and will not execute any of your code. For that you need plugins. Plugin consists of 3 mandatory files: Config.py
and Scope.py
and a file that has the same name as your plugin. Those must be placed in a directory that is also named after your plugin. For the program to load the plugin its parent directory must be added in program's settings.
In our example, after adding plugin named FirstDemo
the file structure would look like this:
project/
|- demoPlugins/
| |- FirstDemo/
| | |- Config.py
| | |- FirstDemo.py (main plugin file)
| | |- Scope.py (definitions file)
|- program.py
In FirstDemo.py
there must be a class that, again, has name of the plugin. Also it must inherit from package's Plugin
class that is made available in this file during startup. We also need init
and update
methods that were mentioned on the very start of this guide. Generally empty plugin would look like this:
class FirstDemo(Plugin):
def init(self):
super().init()
def update(self):
super().update()
Note the super
methods calls. Those are required for the program to run correctly.
Next required file is Config.py
This file must contain a class named Config
but it can be left empty. When program starts contents of this class are copied to cnf
property of the plugin. Using this class to store configurable variables is recommended because they can be modified from main program script.
class Config:
pass
Last required file is Scope.py
but it can be left empty. This file is where you can define variables accessible in whole plugin process or import packages. In more complex plugins it matters that you do this in this file.
You can now check if your newly created program runs but at this point it would only print some initialization logs.
MP Plugs has logger that includes information on where in program the log was emitted and a timestamp. The logs are colored depending on their importance. To emit a log use one of the built-in methods.
Debug(plugin, *message) # magenta timestamp, gray origin + message
Info(plugin, *message) # magenta timestamp, white origin + message
Note(plugin, *message) # cyan timestamp + origin, white message
Warn(plugin, *message) # all yellow
Error(plugin, *message) # all red
Colors can be changed or turned off in program settings. This logger will be used later in the guide.
For this section we will need two plugins. Create plugin SecondDemo
by repeating steps from the previous section.
To communicate between processes events system must be used. Every event triggers its handlers in all plugins of the program.
# FirstDemo.py
class FirstDemo(Plugin):
def init(self):
super().init()
self.addEventHandler('Dummy', self.onDummy) # Add handler
def update(self):
super().update()
def onDummy(self, event):
Note(self, f'FirstDemo received Dummy (apples = {event.apples})')
# SecondDemo.py
class SecondDemo(Plugin):
def init(self):
super().init()
self.apples = 4
def update(self):
super().update()
if not(self.__mpplugs__.tick % 60):
Debug(self, f'Emitting Dummy (apples = {self.apples})')
Event(self, 'Dummy', apples=self.apples)
self.apples = (self.apples + 3) % 13
See Plugin class API for more on __mpplugs__
property, it will not be discussed in this guide. It only was used to limit rate at which events are fired.
You could add handler for events with Dummy
ID and it would get called as well. You can see that any keyword argument passed to the event constructor will be added as its property. This has limitation of only allowing picklable objects.
This package has more features that were not described here, this is what you need to get started. For more please refer to the API
sections. You can request that this guide is extended by opening an issue. You can also extend it yourself and open a pull request.


Thanks for signing up! We'll contact you as soon as we release our Boost features to our first wave of users.


Nymphalidae
Forewing is hooked; upperside is red-orange with black spots. Upperside hindwing of summer form is mostly black with a short tail; that of winter form has much orange and a longer, violet-tipped tail. Underside is light brown; hindwing with pearly white question mark in center.
Wooded areas with some open space, city parks, suburbs, fencerows.
Overwintered adults fly and lay eggs in the spring until the end of May. The summer form emerges and flies from May-September, laying eggs that develop into the winter form; these adults appear in late August and spend the winter in various shelters.
Rotting fruit, tree sap, dung, carrion. Only when these are unavailable do Question Marks visit flowers such as common milkweed, aster, and sweet pepperbush.

Travis Scott says 'be safe rage hard' after fans injured at Astroworld Festival
by Sasha SavitskyTravis Scott is warning fans to "be safe" after a stampede broke out at his Astroworld Festival in Houston, leaving at least three fans injured on Saturday.
Per KTRK, three people were transported to a local hospital with minor leg injuries after they were trampled at the rapper's show.
Scott, 28, shared a video of the scene on his Instagram page, noting fans should "be safe rage hard."
TRAVIS SCOTT ADDRESSES KYLIE JENNER CHEATING ALLEGATIONS: 'SIMPLY NOT TRUE'
Per KHOU, fans attempted to break through the gates with bolt cutters. Houston police tweeted -- and then deleted -- that they would be "bringing additional officers" as the festival’s "promoters did not plan sufficiently for the large crowds and understaffed the event."
KYLIE JENNER, TRAVIS SCOTT TEASE UPCOMING PLAYBOY COVER WITH NAKED PHOTO
According to Billboard, more than 50,000 people had tickets to attend the event.


This Plugin will embed Grafana link in Jenkins UI Side links on Job Page as well as on Build page from where a user can directly generate graphs of Grafana from Jenkins UI. After Generating the Graphs the user can save the dashoard and give the name of dashboard similar to the name of Jenkins Build name So that if user want to look at dashboard he can directly view the saved dashboard in Jenkins UI after clicking on Build link and then the link configured for Grafana

This site, CardGames.io, is created by Rauðás Hugbúnaður ehf ("Red Ace Software LLC"), a small software company in Iceland. Here we will explain what data we store and for what purpose, how we store it, how we use cookies and related technologies and how our advertising works. You can also manage your cookie settings.
Personal information
We do not store on our servers any personally identifiable data about users, such as name, location, playing habits or anything else. We have no user accounts so we simply don't have that kind of information available to us, nor do we want it.
If you email us for support we will have your email address and name in our mailbox. The email address is never used for any purpose other than to reply to your support requests and is never shared with any third parties.
Aggregate data and statistics
We collect data about gameplay, for example how much the computer player wins, how many games were played each day and other metrics about the games. This data is stored in a database on our servers. It is not tied to individual users, we simply collect it as for example "There were 30.000 games of Hearts played today", with nothing tying that back to who played those 30.000 games. The purpose of this data is to improve the games and adjust the computer players difficulty.
Log Files
We keep log files of visits to the site. These log files include information about your IP address, the time of your visit, which page was visited and what type of browser was used.
Cookies & related technologies
We use cookies (small bits of information stored on your computer), and other related technologies such as Local Storage for a few things:
- To remember which options you have chosen for the games.
- To remember the score between rounds in the games, who was the dealer and other game specific information.
- To keep statistics about your success in the games. These statistics are only stored in your browser, we don't store them on servers anywhere. You can always delete this data by going to your browser settings and clearing out all data from this website.
- To help us count the number of visitors to our website, i.e. a cookie is used so that you are not counted as 20 visitors if you play 20 games in one day.
- We use a cookie to store information about your consent of our cookie use.
The use of cookies listed above is by us, CardGames.io, and is necessary for the website to function properly.

IndieWebify’ing the Site
by bear
I’ve been following, heck even participated in the earlier scene, the IndieWeb movement by trying to always use microformats, open standards and the like. The earlier work sometimes was rather tedious in ways that just didn’t make sense.
Cue a couple years of iteration …
Now the IndieWeb is going even stronger, what with the NSA Snowden stuff and people realizing that even friendly and nice looking silos are still just that, silos — looking at you Google! One site that makes it very easy to implement is IndieWebify.Me and it’s series of guides and examples.
Currently I’m at Level 2.1 - h-card and h-entry items are all in place, just need to figure out how to do WebMentions with a purely static site.


Clicking the Add button in the application triggers the execution of the profileAddButton_Click event handler.
Note: This example uses the ingresInsertCommand6, which was created when the ingresDataAdapter6 was added.
The query used is as follows:
INSERT into user_profile VALUES ( next value FOR up_id, ?, ?, ?, ?, ? )
You can write this query using the Query Designer for the IngresCommand by changing the CommandText property, or assign it directly to the IngresCommand CommandText property as a string.
The values are assigned into a data table cloned from the user_profile table in the ProfileDataSet.
DataTable dataTable = profileDataSet.Tables["user_profile"].Clone();
DataRow dataRow = dataTable.NewRow();
The values to be added are taken from the profile form controls and used as parameters to the query.
dataRow["up_last"] = lastName;
dataRow["up_first"] = firstName;
dataRow["up_email"] = email;
dataRow["up_airport"] = airport;
if (photoFile.Length > 0)
{
MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();
Image photo = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(photoFile);
photo.Save(stream, photo.RawFormat);
dataRow["up_image"] = stream.ToArray();
stream.Close();
}
The path and file name of the image are used to convert it into a Byte array and read into the up_image column.
The new row is added to the data table which is used in the INSERT command.
dataTable.Rows.Add(dataRow);
ingresDataAdapter6.InsertCommand.Parameters.Clear();
ingresDataAdapter6.InsertCommand.Parameters.Add("@up_last",
Ingres.Client.IngresType.NVarChar, "up_last");
ingresDataAdapter6.InsertCommand.Parameters.Add("@up_first",
Ingres.Client.IngresType.NVarChar, "up_first");
ingresDataAdapter6.InsertCommand.Parameters.Add("@up_email",
Ingres.Client.IngresType.NVarChar, "up_email");
ingresDataAdapter6.InsertCommand.Parameters.Add("@up_airport",
Ingres.Client.IngresType.NChar, "up_airport");
ingresDataAdapter6.InsertCommand.Parameters.Add("@up_image",
Ingres.Client.IngresType.LongVarBinary, "up_image");
resAffected = ingresDataAdapter6.Update(dataTable);
The added parameters link the parameter values to the columns in the data table. The data table is used in the update method to add the new row.

VIEW MISSION →
We are a systems technology company which develops innovative technologies and services in the areas where we believe to be the fundamental Grand Challanges of this era:
OCEAN | CLIMATE | SPACE
These Grand Challenges include space exploration and colonization, climate change monitoring and mitigation, as well as ocean conservation, exploration, and colonization.
At the heart of how we work is Trillium’s “Mission Oriented” approach. Every system we build is built with a specific Mission objective in mind. Whether it's a system to bring together Machine Learning experts and Planetary Scientists for planetary defense or building an embedded Artificial Intelligence for ocean conservation and monitoring, there's always a specific mission which drives us.
We don’t do it alone. Part of our methodology requires that there’s always one or more Mission Partners who we work with to tackle these grand challenges. In doing so we match our own expertise and passion in System Design and Systems Intelligence to the resources and objectives of a strong partnership network.
We take a mission-centered approach, partnering with organisations interested in solving systemic problems and opportunities.
The first whisky glass engineered and tested in Microgravity
The venerable scottish whisky, Ballantines, approached us with a big idea: is it possible to design a ‘space glass’ that allows future space explorers to ‘take whisky with us’? The result was a drinking system for both loading and and consuming any liquid in zero-gravity.
Whiskey aside, there are numerous applications for the technology and design behind space glass, such as drinking coffee; a vital part of an astronaut’s daily routine. To test these applications we used the ZARM Zero-G drop tower, and successfully demonstrated the space glass working in micro-gravity - conditions almost identical to those in orbit.

A self-contained deployable fabrication facility for building open hardware technologies in the developing world.
In our journey of developing multiple open source hardware projects, we discovered that the biggest challenge for citizen science communities was not the lack of creative ideas, but rather the lack of the appropriate tools necessary to manifest such ideas. The Mission of DropFab is to provide the tools to build, adapt and repair any open hardware project, packed in a portable shipping container sized “Fab” unit.
For DropFab we've partnered with Wevolver, the 3DIY Innovation award winner at SXSW 2016, to assess the needs of the world's largest repository of open hardware projects. The DropFab is currently being designed along with an inventory of the Fab Lab tools and machines needed to support citizen science projects anywhere in the world.
We believe Open Hardware is poised to change the world and we’re looking for mission partners to take Drop Fab to the next stage.

An Automated Robotic Observatory (ARO) developed for amateurs to help identify and characterize Near Earth Asteroids.
In 2013 the White House set NASA the Grand Challenge to “find all asteroid threats to human populations and know what to do about them”. While the task of detecting asteroids requires space based assets, knowing what to do about them requires “follow-up” observations from the ground as Near Earth Objects (NEOs) pass by close to Earth. We set out to develop an open hardware robotic observatory that could use of the shelf technology - such as mobile phones and Raspberry Pi - to allow anyone to be an asteroid hunter.
With our Mission Partners Qualcomm and Microsoft the technology demonstrator of the Ultrascope robotic observatory - the Ultrascope Explorer (UEX) - was built in 2014 and has demonstrated the capability of observing large, ‘main belt’ asteroids, with a smartphone. Trillium is currently building Ultrascope Odyssey (UOD), an observatory three times larger than the UEX and capable of characterizing the small and dark NEOs that present a threat to Earth. For more information on the Ultrascope visit The Open Space Agency.

A robust rapid deployment smart energy microgrid for disaster response.
The Mission of FuelPod is to help impacted communities get through the first few days of a disaster by providing an integrated energy storage and power unit capable of maintaining constant grid power for powering cookers, lights, refrigeration, phones, medical devices, etc. The embedded intelligence combined with network connectivity allows for easy and efficient management of a network of FuelPod units in the same way largescale powergrids are managed and optimised today.
The FuelPod is currently in the design-testing phase, with key components and prototypes having already been developed. The communications hub, along with the battery pack, power management, remote grid management and robust hard-shell have already been designed and tested in a first prototype.
We are looking for partners to help us run our first pilot in mid-2016.

The Planetary Health Index (PHI) is a platform for measuring and assessing the ecological health of nature assets.
The Mission of the Planetary Health Index (PHI) is to build a platform for measuring and monitoring the ecological health of the planet. Similar to financial capital, PHI enables the ability to assess "natural capital," the world’s stocks of natural assets which include geology, soil, air, and water at a given point on the planet.
The user interface and system structure of PHI is currently under development. The PHI technologies include a dedicated nanosatellite network with imaging payloads ground-truthed with local environmental data.
Trillium is currently negotiating a pilot demonstration of PHI with Mission Partners from the financial sector and looking for additional Technology and Application Mission Partners.

Until recently, the only organizations that could contemplate space exploration were governments or large corporations. However, much like the birth of the personal computer in the 1970s, a technology ecosystem has evolved allowing anyone with bold dreams to access and explore the final frontier.
We established the Open Space Agency (OSA) as a platform for everyday citizens to come together to “have their own space program” and be part of this revolution.
OSA has become a vehicle for supporting the work of NASA with new innovation tools, such as open hardware, open innovation, citizen science and citizen storytelling. Over the past three years we’ve been applying all these tools to help NASA’s Asteroid Grand Challenge.

An applied research accelerator for AI driven science.
Mavericks Lab is an applied research accelerator designed to enhance NASA’s capability set by matching emerging talent from academia with peers and technologies within the private sector.
As part of our work with NASA’s Asteroid Grand Challenge we became aware that breakthroughs in machine learning being developed within the private sector were extremely useful to the work of planetary scientists tasked with finding the 99% of potentially hazardous objects we still can’t see. To make this vision a reality we partnered with NASA, NVIDIA and SETI to launch the first inaugural Mavericks Lab in the Summer fo 2016 focused on applying machine learning technologies to the task of planetary defense.

I've been in Bangkok approximately four days. The last two days I've spent a good portion of them with Aaron. We cleared up the confusion, discussed the whole situation, and decided we still like each other's company. Quite a lot, actually. I'll be honest, this is difficult to explain, difficult to admit, and difficult to resist. I can justify this 10 ways to Sunday, but it really comes down to finding myself in a similar place with a relationship just like before those last few fateful hours.
This causes me concern for a few reasons. Topping the list is the peaceful, independent, and totally solo journey I've worked so hard to bring up to its current level over the last two months. Is that threatened by trying to spend the next two weeks in Bangkok, running around with Aaron until I fly to Bali?
How then to approach this situation? Run for the beach asap as previously planned? Spend less time at the beach and some time here? Or see how it goes here?
Ah drama, your reappearance into my life is pleasantly tempered by your recent disappearance and I am hoping to keep you yet at bay.
In the meantime, I've wandered into the dense streets of Chinatown, dodging men pushing huge bundles of products through the tiny walkway, past the fried chicken vendor shoving his own cart featuring a wok filled to the brim with boiling oil. I've discovered there are women who set up their old-school foot-powered sewing machines along the sidewalks and will sew on a button for 10 baht. I've also hit up a night market, walked through a cheap fashion mall that boggles the mind in breadth, scope, and total lack of sizes I can wear, got a mani-pedi, and even made it to a meet-and-greet ex-pat networking event at a chi-chi hotel.
Til next time...
