It was just another school day, my car was broken down in the shop so I knew I'd have nothing to do all night when I came walking out to the schoolbus. I had called a kid who can get oc's the night before, but he had failed to get them and never called me back. I went driving with a freind after the bus dropped me off home, and we smoked just over a gram of marijuana, which didnt have much effect on us since we were using papers.
So when I got a call from the kid around while I was still driving around with the freind smoking some joints. I was glad to hear that he was going to meet up with the dealer he gets the oc's from later that day. We smoked the last of my weed driving around the backroads of a nearby town and started back. My freind wanted to go home, but on the way back to his house, we saw the kid walking up the street. We called him and he asked us to pick him up and save him from the horrible winter temperatures so we did, and we smoked some more weed on the way to get the oc with him.  For some reason he had given me a blunt before he left, and I put it in my pocket. After dropping him off, my other freind had to go home, so we drove back to my house and I said goodbye to him. I went into my house and watched some tv for an hour. I called someone else for a gram and they said theyd be right over.
It took them quite a while, so I sawed up the oc with a nail file, which took quite a while but made the oxy come off in a fine white powder like I wanted. I put half the oxy in a small cup of orange juice and added some sugar to cover up the bitter taste. The rest of the oxycotton I filed into a thin line. I drank the orange juice fast, and then nailed the line - half up each nostril. But my nose was very dry, so I put some water in the cup and let some of it come down either nostril so that the oc would come out down the back of my throat. It worked and I could tell that nearly all of it came piling down my throat as the water hit the back of each nostril.
I called the dealer because he was taking a long time and sure enough he had forgotten, and said he'd be at my house in ten minutes. I put on the tv and my shoes, waiting.  Suddenly my eyes were heavy and my body felt vibrant with sensation. Although parts of me felt heavier, I felt as if a weight had been lifted off my chest at the same time. I felt just slightly nautious, and I walked outside into the frigid cold to wait for the dealer.
It felt wonderful to stand outside, with the contrast between hot and cold adding to the buzzing sensation going through my whole body and my brain. Purple and blue streaks seemed to disrupt my visual sense as I began to zone out and stare at the sky. My eyes had trouble staying open sometimes, and it gave the sensation that I was dreaming while still awake. The dealer pulled up and was shocked that I was standing outside in the ten degree temperatures waiting. I told him that I was on oc and he laughed, gave me the gram, and left.
I had trouble navigating through the snowy driveway on the way back into the house, and my heartbeat was slowing significantly. My heart still felt overworked as I went back into the house. I went upstairs and pulled out the blunt, I began cutting it with the hook on the end of my nail file. It was a foolish move and caused the cut on the blunt to be way too rigid and wide. It took me twenty minutes to break up all the weed and put it in the huge philly blunt, and then I realized what a terrible blunt it really was, and it broke into two pieces somewhere around the middle when I was finished.
In my dreamlike state, it took me another 10 minutes to fix these two sections up, and after sealing them I was satisfied. By now I felt extremely tired and my eyes were in a constant struggle to stay open, but I went into the bathroom and lit up the blunt regardless.  When I was finished I began to feel extremely altered by the weed, and had trouble standing up as my eyes became even more torn apart. My brother, who I never involve in any of my drug use, was standing at the bathroom door and wanted to use the bathroom. I panicked, how could I get out of this one?
 I spied the mop in the corner, which was left from the toilet overflow that had occured the day before. I flushed the toilet after throwing the blunt in, then snatched the mop and got it extremely wet, wetting the rug and all of the floor with toilet water. I convinced my brother that the toilet had overflowed again and told him not to enter the room. He looked a little suspicious, but my plan worked and he didnt push it any further. Confident about my trick, I went into my room and lay down for a minute.
The weed hit me so hard that I felt like I was spinning everywhere. My eyes began rolling in random directions as I zoned out unable to comprehend the television I was trying to watch for minutes at a time as the oxycotton took my breath away and gave the illusion that I was being pulled down into the bed, being sucked into the sheets. I felt huge waves of euphoria and my whole body was buzzing warmly. I got up to pee once and had a difficult time walking, since I felt like I was being pulled sideways into the carpet. I slid to the ground against a pillow that was laying there and I nearly passed out from exhaustion. I zoned out and my eyes moved out in a blur, as I was barely able to see the television screen I was thrown into a dreamlike state where I didn't have a care in the world, and my brain felt like it was being completely microwaved as I lay there for nearly 25 minutes.
Finally I got up as the high began to lower its pressure some, and I was able to make it into the bathroom and geet some water. For a moment this made me nautious, but after some rehydration, I was ready for the other part of the blunt. This part was different in that it had a lot of tobacco left still near the cigar hole. I smoked it quickly near my window and began to run out of weed and into some of the tobacco. After only a few hits of the little bit of weed that was left and the tobacco that was burning behind it, I felt what can only be described as what felt like a change of pressure in my brain as the nicotine shook me and blurred my vision harshly. I had to put the blunt out as I was hit with one of the strongest rushes of the night as the nicotine struggled to speed up my slow heartbeat and my breathing became shallow. I tore my clothes off and lay in the bed, shutting off the television and thinking.
I felt like I was falling constantly through space in my head as my eyes rolled and I fell back into a hallucination like state. I was seeing colors again and my head was buzzing so harshly that I felt unable to think or concentrate in the least bit as a rush of euphoria shook through my whole body. The nicotine had harshly added to my high along with the weed as I lay with half open eyes hallucinating and seeing shapes and tracers.
Sometime around then is when things got weird. I was hit with an out of this world empty emotion and feelings of worthlessness. I was struck with feelings of guilt for the way I treated some people in the past and regret for my decisions. I felt an almost suicidal rage and I became very depressed. I didn't feel sorry for myself, but more for my family as I lay there thinking. I didn't fall asleep for another 2 hours, as I zoned completely out, and the emotional state was soon gone but not forgotten.
When I woke up the next morning I didn't remember much, and I was too depressed to attempt going to school. Besides that I could tell that I should not eat anything, as I felt somewhat nautious and needed some water. I still felt depressed and ill as I lay there and wanted nothing but to fall asleep and get away from myself again. The odd thing is despite the sad emotions that came from this experience, I felt an extremely strong desire to repeat it, as I was attracted to the non-violent state of euphoria that I experienced.
Looking back I believe that the OC's were a unique revealing experience. They helped unlock an emotion I had been trying to avoid for a long time and made me realize how depressed I really am. The begining euphoria was also nice, and I still do plan to do it again, even though I felt some loss of self-esteem last time.
This was the 4th time I've done oxycotton. I've never had a 'bad' experience on it before, although it does make me a little nautious and takes away my appetite. I have also abused codeine, hydrocodone, tramadol, and valium. Therefore I have a reasonable tolerance to opiates, and a good resistance to any nausea or constipation/ trouble urinating that those drugs can cause.

Sussex Pond Pudding is a traditional English pudding believed to originate from the South East county of Sussex. Made of a suet pastry which encases a whole lemon, with butter and sugar, it is boiled or steamed for several hours.
This rich and heavy pudding has gone out of fashion over the years due to health and diet consciousness, although there are many chefs in Britain, such as the British chef Heston Blumenthal, who are trying to revive this type of traditional cookery.
Some cooks like to add currants to the filling, though there is some argument about whether this makes it more a Kentish Puddle Pudding or Kentish Well Pudding.<ref>The Art and Mystery of Food</ref>
Contents |
While cooking, the filling ingredients create a thick, caramelized sauce, which upon serving and cutting of the pudding, runs out and pools around the plate, creating a “pond”. After cooking for so long, the skin of the lemon almost candies like a marmalade in its own juices and that of the butter and sugar.
The most authentic recipes call for beef suet for making the pastry which is available in all supermarkets in the UK, but vegetable shortening, or even cold butter, can be substituted for similar results.
The best lemons to use in this pudding are thin skinned, juicy ones that have not been waxed.
The first recorded recipe for the Sussex Pond Pudding was in Hannah Woolley's The Queen-Like Closet (1672).<ref name="TFoE-SPP">{{cite web|url=http://www.foodsofengland.co.uk/sussexpondpudding.htm|title=Sussex Pond Pudding|publisher=The Foods of England Project|accessdate=11 March 2014}}</ref> The recipe suggests encasing a whole apple.<ref name="TFoE-SPP"/>
Much older cookery books and recipes do not actually call for use of a lemon at all. Here is one found by Florence White:<ref> Good Things in England, Florence White, First Futura Publications, 1974 Edition </ref>
”This was given us at Chailey, Sussex, by a nursemaid in 1880 or thereabouts. It was made for me boiled in a cloth (the correct way) in 1905 by an old cottage woman in the village of Westham. In Sussex cottages, steak and kidney puddings are still (1931) boiled in a cloth only.” –H.J. Glover {{Clarify|date=March 2011|Reason=Quote does not seem to match claim: first part does not mention ingredients (so how do we know it did not contain a lemon?), and anyway not clear that it applies to a pond pudding (if no lemon, is it a pond pudding at all anyway?) Final part is clearly not a pond pudding at all: it's just a cloth-boiled steak and kidney pudding which happens to have been made in Sussex. Is the whole quote not just about suet puddings in general? And isn't this quote from Florence White: so who is H J Glover?}}<br/>
The first recorded use of a version using a whole lemon was in Jane Grigson's English Food (1974).<ref name="TFoE-SPP"/>

(ii) Report the results to the CFAO.
(2) The CFAO shall determine if the Disclosure Statement adequately describes the contractor’s cost accounting practices. Also, the CFAO shall—
(i) If the Disclosure Statement is adequate, notify the contractor in writing, and provide a copy to the auditor with a copy to the contracting officer if the proposal triggers submission of a Disclosure Statement. The notice of adequacy shall state that—
(A) The disclosed practices are adequately described and the CFAO currently is not aware of any additional practices that should be disclosed;
(B) The notice is not a determination that all cost accounting practices were disclosed; and
(C) The contractor shall not consider a disclosed practice, by virtue of such disclosure, an approved practice for estimating proposals or accumulating and reporting contract and subcontract cost data; or

Speedup tutorial
Figure1: Project settings.
Internal clock
Imagine, that you want to simulate phyics in godot engine with the timestep target_delta. Normally it should be smaller than deltat, that we used in the previous tutorial. In this case we perform deltat/target_delta physics iterations between getting an action and returning the observation. The engine usually assumes that target_delta and deltat correspond to the real time. However, we want to set the scale to the fastest possible, that you can get set using Engine.set_time_scale. The time scale corresponding to the real clock is 1, but we want each frame to perform physics step with target_delta time step. In this case we have to set the time scale to FPS*target_delta.Measuring FPS is a tricky part, because when we are waiting for the next action, the system clock does not stop and the engine thinks that the frame takes the time spent in python script.
Code 1 shows how to mitigate this problem. First we measure the time it takes to free sem_action semaphore. We also measure FPS manually in the _process function and remove the semaphore time from our FPS estimate. Then we set engine iterations per second to our estimate and adjust time scale correspondingly. After this we have to zero the sem_time, so that it does not affect the frames where there's no communication between godot and python.
We designed two unit tests to check that the resulting time scaling does not affect the result of the physics simulation. One can find them here: Tests.
Finally, you need to set Vsync off and physics timestep to fixed (Figure1).
Code 1: Example of time scaling.
var deltat = 0.05
var prev_time = 0.0
var sem_delta = 0.0
var target_delta = 0.025
func _physics_process(delta):
if timeout:
if mem.exists():
var time_start = OS.get_ticks_usec()
sem_action.wait()
var time_end = OS.get_ticks_usec()
sem_delta = time_end - time_start
...
func _process(delta):
if mem.exists():
var cur_time = OS.get_ticks_usec()
var fps_est = 1000000.0/(cur_time - prev_time - sem_delta)
Engine.set_iterations_per_second(fps_est)
Engine.set_time_scale(Engine.get_iterations_per_second()*target_delta)

March 2012: Sailors are advised to be particularly cautious when sailing down the Pacific coast of Mexico. A young solo American sailor went missing and his boat washed ashore, five days after leaving Manzanillo — near Puerto Vallarta — bound for Zihuatanejo. This is a known area for drug running.
Free Cruising Guides have completed the Caribbean Security Index (CSI) review of 2013 and updated the country ratings. The latest update of the CSI contains new information that may be important to you to “route around crime.”
See this report athttp://www.noonsite.com/General/Piracy/caribbean-crime-caribbean-security-index-csi-review-of-2013
The Caribbean Safety and Security Net<EMAIL_ADDRESS>gather information by anchorage or by island, so sailors can plan their cruising in the Caribbean with an eye to appropriate behaviour and precautions wherever they decide to go. Should you have information about a security incident, as well as contacting Noonsite please also forward details to the Caribbean Safety and Security Net, as theirs is the most comprehensive source of Caribbean security incidents against sailors on the net. Please be sure to include boat name, date of incident and anchorage/port where the incident took place.
Last updated February 2014.
The climate is often very hot on the coasts, although it is more temperate at higher altitudes and in the north. May to October is the rainy season, and it usually rains in the late afternoon and evening. May is the hottest month. It rarely rains from November to April.
Temperatures on the west coast are generally high most of the year, but north of La Paz it can be cold in December-March.
There tends to be more wind in the Sea of Cortez than along the west coast in October-March due to the effect of high pressures in the USA. There is typically little wind (only land and sea breezes) on along much of the west coast including from Mazatlan to Alcapulco.
On both coasts the hurricane season runs from June to October, while winter brings the occasional norther and, on the east coast, strong trade winds. The best time to cruise is spring and late autumn.

I have a new idea for our VScode extension experts. Say my goal is A = B
. I'd like a key combination which inserts
calc A = sorry : sorry ... = B : sorry,
The key combination would first insert in the proof script start_calc,
where start_calc
is a tactic that generate the above string (this is trivial to write) and then would do the analogue of clicking "Try this" to replace start_calc
by its output.
And then same with inequalities of course.
Do you want sorry
or _
?
I would guess that in term mode _
would be more useful.
_
is quicker to erase but it rises an error.
True
That's what you get with error-driven-development (aka term mode)
This seems like a good use case for a hole command!
It can be a hole command, but it would be nice to have a single short-cut that write {!!}
, does the Ctrl-shift-. and chooses from the menu. Typing all this is pretty slow (at least on a French keyboard where curly braces are Alt-Gr 4).

MARS ATTACKS! A film review by James Berardinelli Copyright 1996 James Berardinelli
RATING (0 TO 10): 5.5 Alternative Scale: ** out of ****
United States, 1996 U.S. Release Date: 12/13/96 (wide) Running Length: 1:47 MPAA Classification: PG-13 (Martian gore, violence) Theatrical Aspect Ratio: 2.35:1
Cast: Jack Nicholson, Glenn Close, Annette Bening, Pierce Brosnan, Sarah Jessica Parker, Martin Short, Jim Brown, Pam Grier, Michael J. Fox, Danny DeVito, Lukas Haas, Sylvia Sidney, Rod Steiger, Paul Winfield, Natalie Portman, Tom Jones, Joe Don Baker Director: Tim Burton Producers: Tim Burton and Larry Franco Screenplay: Jonathan Gems Cinematography: Peter Suschitzky Music: Danny Elfman U.S. Distributor: Warner Brothers
What do you get if you use Tim Burton, the inspired and irreverent director of BATMAN and ED WOOD, to combine an invasion force of bug- eyed, big-brained Martians, a star-studded cast featuring some of the biggest names in Hollywood, and a huge special effects budget? Sadly, one of 1996's most disappointing motion pictures. MARS ATTACKS!, Burton's half-satire/half-homage to '50s B-movies, is a stillborn affair that could have been -- and should have been -- a whole lot hipper and funnier. If you've seen the two-minute theatrical trailer, you've seen nearly everything that's worthwhile in the feature.
MARS ATTACKS! depicts a Martian invasion of three parts of the United States: Washington D.C., Las Vegas, and the plains of Kansas. Along the way, we meet a gallery of underdeveloped (or, in many cases, completely undeveloped) would-be-characters. In Washington, there's President James Dale (Jack Nicholson), his wife, Martha (Glenn Close), and his daughter, Taffy (Natalie Portman).  Meanwhile, in Vegas, the Martians encounter real estate mogul Art Land (Nicholson), his alcoholic-turned-spiritualist wife, Barbara (Annette Bening), a rude gambler (Danny DeVito) who could care less about the invasion, a former heavyweight champion (Jim Brown) trying to get back together with his wife (Pam Grier), and the irrepressible singer, Tom Jones (himself). In Kansas, we're introduced to a smaller group: teenager Richie Norris (Lucas Haas), his daffy grandmother (Sylvia Sidney), and his gun-loving father (Joe Don Baker). Finally, there are the two New York-based reporters who cover the Martian situation: hair-obsessed Jason Stone (Michael J. Fox) and his vacuous girlfriend, Natalie West (Sarah Jessica Parker).
With such a mammoth cast, it's not surprising that only a few actors get more than token attention. Even Glenn Close, who is billed second, has a total of ten minutes of screen time and only a handful of lines (memorizing dialogue must have been exceptionally undemanding). Jack Nicholson, who has by far the most number of scenes, splits his time between two personas, halving (rather than doubling) his effectiveness. There's absolutely nothing in any of these characters for an audience to latch on to.
There are a few nicely-executed comic performances. Natalie Portman gives us a bored First Daughter who has perhaps the best line (taken in context) in the entire movie ("I guess it wasn't the bird"). Rod Steiger effectively emulates George C. Scott's war-mongering General Turgidson from DR. STRANGELOVE. Pierce Brosnan and Sarah Jessica Parker make for a fun-but-brainless (or maybe that should be "body-less") pair. And Jim Brown does a fine job playing off of his Blaxploitation image by punching out aliens left and right.
MARS ATTACKS! contains a number of genuinely funny moments that occur both through the dialogue and as a result of the visual approach (there's a Godzilla cameo, the "bowling over" of Stonehenge, and a sequence where the Martians toy with the Washington Monument before toppling it). Unfortunately, too many attempts at comedy don't succeed, creating long stretches between laughs. Another problem is that, on more than one occasion, when Burton finds a gag that works, he overuses it. And, instead of going for truly corrosive, DR. STRANGELOVE-type satire, the focus is on less-vicious, more obvious forms of mocking.
In addition to its other faults, MARS ATTACKS! is not well-edited. In fact, there are portions that border on incoherent. The movie lurches disjointedly from scene-to-scene as the tone careens from turgid to fast-paced. Plot doesn't really matter, which is a good thing. Burton has used a 1962 Topps trading card series as his inspiration, combining WAR OF THE WORLDS-like Martians with images and scenarios familiar from bad 1950s alien invasion flicks. Many of the special effects (especially those involving flying saucers and mass destruction) have an intentionally cheesy edge, and Danny Elfman's score contains throwback elements. The overall problem is that the idea of MARS ATTACKS! works a lot better on paper than in practice.
A word has to be said about the relationship between MARS ATTACKS! and this summer's phenomenally successful INDEPENDENCE DAY. Although the two films were developed separately and during the same time frame, the temptation exists to say that this film is satirizing the earlier blockbuster. While that's not the case, MARS ATTACKS! does lampoon the genre that spawned ID4. Of course, that won't prevent the Warner Brothers marketing department from connecting the two.
I was anticipating a lot from MARS ATTACKS!, but what I got was a shell of my expectations.  The first half is painfully slow, forcing us to suffer through the needlessly laborious exercise of meeting and learning something about each of the characters. Despite Burton's effort and ingenuity, there's never an effective comic or sci-fi payoff. From time-to-time, MARS ATTACKS! gives us tantalizing glimpses of brilliance, but those moments only illustrate how flawed and unsatisfactory the rest of the film is.

Mushrooms (P. cubensis)
I recently started a 'mycology' project and yesterday had my first sample of the fruit. It is day 30 in my project and one cake that had been an exeptionally fast colonizer, (covered jar in 10 days) had a single advanced primordia about 2 inches long. Earlier that day i had cleaned the cake of a few aborts and noticed small blue discolouration on some areas. This cake had a slight contam problem for a couple days, bout a week ago so i wasn't sure if it was a relapse, bruising from my scraping, or natural discolouration.
There was a risk of me loosing my first tiny beautiful equador to contamination and it had been whetting my appetite for a week! (The veil had formed that morning)
So I convinced myself (agaist my better judgment) that even if it were contaminated the amount was small enough that id either get a little sick, or a little high. So after giving thanks to the mycelium, I plucked this single, perfectly forming specimen, and down the hatch she went. (for better or for worse)
First effects were felt in 1/2 an hour and increased over the next hour to a nice glow. No nausea from the contamination whatsoever (guess it wasnt contam). Combined with a few splifs and a couple shots it made for a very pleasent evening. And to top it off, i didn't really expect to 'feel' anything off of a baby wet equador, which means these guys are nice and potent and my other four cakes should have similar fruits by the end of the week.

BROTHER is a project that I undertook as my thesis requirement for the Master of Science program in Integrated Digital Media at NYU Poly. I received my degree in May 2013. The project concerns itself with the creation of a multicultural marketing vehicle by way of a digital/mobile media channel that is aligned with the proven advanced digital media usage habits of minority men, gays and blacks specifically. In my paper, I explore a variety of psychological research and media audits to discuss the dismal treatment of young men of color in the media and the proven sub conscious effects of these images on whites (and the whitened) in regards to hiring, voting, shooting young men of color randomly in the street, subsequent murder trial verdicts...
I compare the negative media treatment of minority men of color with the inclusive and identity affirming media treatment of gays in order to justify a media outlet that attempts to redefine the American male mainstream in the face of our rapidly changing population demographic. My thesis then goes on to explore a variety of marketing data compiled from sources including AdAge, Global Hue, Google, e-marketer.com, The Heinz Foundation et al... to expound on the vitality of the African American and gay consumer market and the necessity for new digital media channels that meet their usage habits and hearken to their particular consumer interests.
In creating this channel, men of color would then enjoy the media legitimacy (and subsequent political/social benefits) and minority identity affirmation that gays have been able to achieve in recent years, and advertisers would have a means of accessing literally trillions of dollars of untapped economy.
Along with scouring a variety of scholarly articles concerning media representation of young men of color and gay men, I spent several months digesting a variety of marketing statistics concerning digital media usage, education, earnings and goods consumption habits of African Americans, Latinos and Gays. In an effort to corroborate some of this information I sought out feedback from several of my peers by way of a brief survey. In some ways this survey could be considered my first MVP, a means of proving my hypothesis, that young gay and ethnic men do in fact feel underrepresented and would in fact read a publication geared towards them and would respond favorably to advertisements therein. Please feel free to access it here.
Of the twenty participants in my survey, eleven were straight, one identified as bi, and eight were gay. Five of the gay participants identified to some degree with targeted LGBT ads. Only one reported satisfaction with representation of LGBT men in advertisements. All of them saw some significance in advertisers diversifying their strategies to mirror the diversifying population.
Half of the users used IOS devices while the other half used blackberry or android for phone usage. All were tablet owners with only two of them using IOS tablets. The others used Android. Of the straight participants two were mixed-race one identified as others two were caucasian and three identified as African-American/ black.
All reported word of mouth as the most influential factor in their purchase decision making. Of the eleven straight participants, five are caucasian, four were African-American, one identified as Hispanic/Latino and one as mixed race. Eight were tablet owners and 6 owned an iPhone. All were smartphone users. Only two participants reported uncertainty with subscribing to a magazine with content targeting advertising and editorial content that targeted straight and gay men simultaneously.
I used this feedback in conjunction with my research to create a set of fictitious personas (ProtoPersonas according to the LEAN UX methodology) that would allow me to get a better grasp of the variety of potential users, their individual goals, a brandable design aesthetic, and content requirements that were unique to my particular endeavor.
The logo design references historical American slave auction bills using contemporary fonts that are similar to the typography employed in these in antebellum advertisements. Given the nature of my thesis and its main purpose as a marketing vehicle for minority American men, I thought that it would be witty and apt to appropriate this rich though sordid typographical history into my site.
The final logo incorporated seven different fonts (Bodidly, Bodoni, IFCRailroad, Rosewood, Showboat, OldNewspaperType, and LTNutshell) all of which were very similar to the look of the typography in the Antebellum advertisements. The lack of uniformity in the type served to underscore the idea of homogeneity and ownership of our multicultural American History. Themes that were very important in the construction of my editorial philosophy and the construction of my thesis in general.
Using Bullett Magazine and VMAN as major inspiration for how I wanted my web page to function, in addition to ideas that still resonanted from the Out.com experiment, I began to sketch out some ideas for the layout of my site.
My UX required quite a bit of planning and research. I leaned heavily on the texts of Jesse James Garrett and his particular approach to UX planning and the flow of information. His text, The Elements of User Experience, was a great guide for me throughout the entire design and ideation process. The idea map and experience flow artifacts that I created based off of Garret's UX Elements were incredibly useful in helping me to understand the design process and the intricacies of creating a user journey.
My initial plan was to feature all content by way of modals that would allow the user to never have to leave the homepage essentially. Features would pop up in a lightbox or shadowbox modal format above the main page content. Links to similar stories would be offered in the pop up or the user could simply navigate back to the home page to check out more stories by clicking outside of the modal. Ad spaces with blue boxes.
The layout and infinite scrolling content were inspired by popular online men’s fashion publications like VMan, and Hypbeast. I envisioned that initial content for my site would be either syndicated fashion, lifestyle and tech content in coordination with original street fashion photographs of young gay and black men. This in itself is a very simple way to begin to publish positive images of both minorities.
My thesis paper compiles the UX research and design that I completed with the years worth of academic, marketing and psychology study to explain how the dearth of positive and enlightening portrayals of African-American men in the media is a detriment to our society. I elucidate through a variety of examples, how the proliferation of negative portrayals of black men in the media further fuel with implicit bias.
I juxtapose this research with marketing information that underscores the reality that African American's, in particular men and young people are some of American's most savvy digital users and early adapters, and have been proven to be trend setters across a variety of consumer and digital goods consumption channels. This data also shows that the 1.4 trillion dollars worth of economy that the African-American population wields is vastly overlooked by the US advertisers. I discuss how inclusion of African-Americans in targeted digital campaigns and products will not only stimulate economic growth as a whole, but can act as a means of validating positive black identity. This point is illustrated through an analysis of treatment of gays in advertising and editorial media and the positive effect that this inclusion had on the formation of popular gay commercial and social identities.
Please feel free to read my thesis in its entirety here.
One of the methods that I hypothesized would brign BROTHER to life was by way of a responsive WordPress plug in, Cubrik. Having never worked with Wordpress before, I found that the process of building it was a little more daunting thatn I had anticipated, but I was able to implement the cubrik theme and input a bit of information to envision how my site would gain its legs so to speak.
As 'Mobile First' becomes more an more of a salient tenet in design and development, my ideas about BROTHER have changed since completing my thesis and graduating from NYU Poly. The mobile aspect of the site was very important for me considering that which I had learned from my research, and choosing a theme with responsive capabilities was very crucial. Looking back though, I can imagine that a mobile presence or hybrid page would be much easier to build using Angular or Bootstrap and HTML5 or Polymer.


2. Except for cotton industry, all the production chain have the trend to increate their exportations. In 2006, the industry of cotton used to export more than today. It tryed to increase its exportation since 2010. However, even tought it looks flat, the trending is to decrease too.
The coffee industry had a decrease trending from 2008 to 2011 .However, since 2012, it started to increase the exportations. The flowers production has been stable in the last five years and it has a trend to increate softlly. In the industry of chocolate, Since 2012, it is the production chain that is having an increase in percent higher than the others.
The vis shows from botton to top the value of Volume [kilo tons] from 2006 to 2017 Chocolate (blue-darkest), Cotton, Flowers and Coffe (blue-lightest).


Intro text goes here
Section 1: Paint, Adhesives and Other Surface Treatments
Level 4 Choices
| Item | Pros and Cons | |
| Paints and coatings with greater than 75% recycled content | P) Some communities and local hardware stores offer recycled or off-spec paint C) Being "off-spec" leaves consumer to question source of product | |
| Bead blast etching of metal and wood | P) Bead blasting can impart texture to metals and woods with no additional chemical use C) Worker should use proper protective equipment; there are likely some local bead-blasting services near you |
|
| Organic Milk Paint | P) Low VOC, Low toxicity, easy clean up C) Milk paint has a slightly perishable nature. Read labels carefully before purchasing and if buying in bulk, purchasing in powder form is advised. |
|
| Natural lacquer | P) Natural based ingredients low toxicity P) Acrylic-based lacquers are more durable than water-based lacquer for floors. Try: Vermont Natural Coatings’ PolyWhey Floor Finish (35g/L VOC), Kilz Klear (89 VOC). Look for VOC levels below 250 g/L and avoid lacquers with xylene and toluene. |
|
| Natural varnish | P) Natural based ingredients low toxicity. Look for varnishes with VOC content of 250 g/L or less. | |
| Powder coating | P) Powder coating provides a durable paint like surface with little waste and uses no harmful solvents C) To achieve a successful DIY powder-coat in a shop, one would need to cure the powder with an oven. There are tutorials on how to build such an oven, but powder-coated materials are widely available |
|
| Raw linseed oil | P) It preserves and prevents deterioration of woods and/or concrete surfaces. It has low toxicity, as raw oils don’t contain harmful heavy metal dryers or organic solvents. Try: Lanco Raw Linseed Oil(Sold at Home Depots) or Sunnyside Raw Linseed Oil |
|
| Tung oil | P) Tung oil provides a relatively hard surface finish that can provide a waterproof finish that is impervious to dust, alcohol, acetone, and various acids. It has low toxicity, as raw oils don’t contain harmful heavy metal dryers or organic solvents. C) Though the dried oil is relatively hard, the finish it provides is not the most durable. Tung oil is usually chosen for its aesthetic appeal rather than its wearability. Has a mildly disagreeable odor for a few days, and takes a good deal of time to dry. Try: Old Masters 90008 Pure Tung Oil, Watco, Hope, Woodriver pure |
|

Music Diary Project
I’m joining many others this week in contributing to Nick Southall’s annual Music Diary Project. The premise is easy: you keep a daily diary of your weekly music listening habits for the week of May 7th to 13th.
I’ve started this week on a relatively quiet note. On Sunday, the girl and I both ran Philadelphia’s Broad Street Run, and I didn’t run with headphones, ear buds, or a boombox propped up on my shoulder, so it was relatively free of music for me most of the day. I spent Monday visiting with my parents and working/writing, so there was no music there either since I was working at my parents house.
Maybe it’s just where I am in my life right now, but some days I listen to very little music, other days music plays throughout all the moments of the day. It’s a far cry from the past, particularly when I (co-)owned a record store, where music was playing – quite literally – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
I’m currently in the middle of the never-ending project called organizing my digital music library. Trying to keep up with new releases and advance promos as well as sort through two terrabytes of music stored on my computer. Digital music listening takes place through my desktop computer, my laptop, and mainly through my iphone. All listening not at home takes place through headphones.
Most of my home listening takes place in the form of LP records. I do listen to CDs, but as I have mentioned before, I haven’t purchased a CD in more than 12 years.
On my iphone during my walking commute to work I usually listen to my local affiliate NPR newscast or newish music from the past few months. I cycle through new music on my iphone and usually try to listen to everything at least once. Some new releases get more attention than others. The releases that get the most attention are posted in my end of list favorites (2010 and 2011).
When I’m at work – and I’m rarely able to listen to music there – I listen on headphones to not disturb my co-workers with my unpopular musical tastes. Typically I am concentrating on working or writing at work, so I listen to ambient, jazz, or classical (usually modern-ish). Some work favorites for the last few weeks have been old and newer favorites: Alva Noto & Ryuichi Sakamoto’s Virus Series, The Necks, early Steve Reich & Philip Glass pieces, Tape, Tortoise, The Caretaker/Leyland Kirby, The Cinematic Orchestra, Jon Gibson’s Two Solo Pieces LP, The KLF’s Chill Out, Porter Rick’s Biokinetics LP, and Ricardo Villalobos & Max Loderbauer’s Re:ECM.

Hello, if you'd like to utilize the smart contracts for peer to peer betting go here: for the smart contracts: https://github.com/ckhatri/predicteth/tree/master/contracts
You can download these files to your local computer (You do not need the migrations file).
next go to https://remix.ethereum.org and then upload all of those files. Compile. Deploy to whichever network you want to, test or live.
For the time stamp you can use: https://www.epochconverter.com/
Bet price is the price you believe ethereum will be above at the deadline.
Bet amount is the amount you want to bet, note that this number is / 1000 ether so if you want to be 1 ether you'd write 1000 here (this has to do with solidity not doing decimals or floating point). So if you enter 1 you'd be betting 0.001 ether.
Have fun!


Blockly aims to teach computer programming via a gamified setting in virtual reality.
In each level,
users have a target 3D structure (e.g., a castle),
and they need to exactly recreate the structure by creating a program that generates it.
By working through levels of increasing difficulty,
users gradually learn core concepts in programming,
such as variables, loops, and functions.
Most importantly,
users learn how to break down complex technical tasks into smaller, more manageable subtasks.
When users have finished our tutorial and now know how to program in Blockly,
they can then use Blockly to explore the world of generative art in VR on their own.
We have designed Blockly to use a gesture-based language for constructing programs.
The goal of the design for this language is to make programming in it feel natural and fun.
Check it out in our video below:

This week we researched and experimented with some of the available assets for Oculus hand tracking. We found some examples of how others have done custom hand tracking (see notes) and we plan to use this as a starting point as we start developing our custom hand gestures. We finalized our project details and presented the project pitch in class on Tuesday and received some final feedback from the course staff about our idea. We also finished our detailed PRD, where we set milestones and outlined responsibilities for each member moving forward.
This week we spent a lot of time thinking about and iterating on our design. The team all met each other and we initially decided on pursuing a project called Symbolia which focused on allowing the user to evaluate math expressions and simple programming concepts by allowing the user to draw these in 3D space. We spent a pretty significant amount of time thinking about what project to pursue before deciding on this one, and we created a website and various pieces of concept art for Symbolia, since we thought that this work was due on Thursday. On Thursday, the course staff did not like our idea so we had to start from scratch. We spent a significant amount of time on Thursday and Friday thinking about ideas and how the implementation would look like and we eventually settled on trying to focus on somehwat novel hand tracking technology to teach a user programming concepts.
