Copys all enumerable own property keys and symbols from one or more source objects to a destination object and returns a destination object.
NOTE: This function behaves the same way as Object.assign
except when the first argument is nullish and when properties of first argument object are read only. If the first argument is nullish, this function replace it to an empty plain object. If properties of first argument object are read only, this function ignore them and doesn't throw Errors.
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| dest | object | The destination object. |
| srcs | object | The source object(s). |
The destination object.
Type: object
Copys all enumerable own properties deeply from one or more source objects to a destination object and returns a destination object. This function copys not only child properties but also descendants properties of source objects.
NOTE: This function copys enumerable own properties of srcs objects (top level objects) like Object.assign
, but copys properties of child and descendant objects (lower level objects) like primitive properties when those properties are not plain objects.
For example:
var src = new function() {
this.a = { b: 1 };
this.c = new function() { this.d = 2 };
};
console.log(src); // => { a: { b: 1 }, c: { d: 2 } }
var dest = assignDeep({}, src);
console.log(dest); // => { a: { b: 1 }, c: { d: 2 } }
dest === src // => false
dest.a === src.a // => false
dest.c === src.c // => true
NOTE: If the first argument is nullish, this function replace it to an empty plain object. If properties of first argument object are read only, this function ignore them and doesn't throw Errors.

As someone very sensitive to the physical effects of hallucinogens (and long, drawn-out come-up1), I found 1-2mg Valium to be a godsend in helping me avoid panic attacks, anxiety, and stomach trouble during the come-up of Mushrooms.
As someone with no access to Valium, I decided to test an unscheduled alternative: Cyclobenzaprine, a muscle relaxant closely related to tri-cyclic antidepressants.
I took the Flexiril (Cyclobenzaprine) one hour prior to ingesting a low dose of mushrooms (1.5g).
It did little to lessen the come-up effects. However, it did make me physically drowsy and mentally agitated at the same time, which was not fun. Fortunately, the come-up from the low dose of mushrooms was not unbearable.
However, once I got 'there', I had some mild euphoria, some trippy thoughts for about 20 minutes. Then, poof. I'm relaxed, and I'm not tripping. In fact, the Cyclobenzaprine 'took over' the mushroom experience, leaving me with a sluggishness and lack-of-motivation, but with occasional trippy thoughts and 'mushroom sighs/yawns'.
My conclusion: Cyclobenzaprine is not a replacement for benzos in easing trips.

Repeal Pension Reform Act, N’Assembly told
by Tunde OyekolaTunde Oyekola
The National Assembly has been called upon to repeal the Pension Reform Act 2014.
The call was contained in a resolution made at the National Executive Council meeting of the Senior Staff Association of Statutory Corporations and Government-owned companies held in Ilorin on Friday.
The Association, in a communiqué signed jointly by its President, Comrade Mohammed Yunusa, and Secretary, Dr Ayo Olorunfemi, called on PENCOM to explain to Nigerian workers the change in its rules on payment after retirement.
The association said, “Retiring workers have complained of their inability to access their contributory pension even one year after retirement.
“Hence, we hereby call on the National Assembly to as a matter of urgency to commence the repeal of the Pension Reform Act, 2014.”
It also called on Federal and state governments not to appoint politicians as the chief executive officers of statutory corporations and government-owned companies, noting that such appointments were only used for political settlements rather than performance.

This article talks about how to accept Alipay payments using Stripe. PS: I am not a front-end person. Heck, I don’t really know what is my discipline, but anyways, this is just a suggestive guide.
One fine summer day, hanging out with my friend, Aman and playing with his Oculus, a problem surfaced. He is having troubles accepting payments from his chinese clients. Many of them use Alipay to pay, but unfortunately he is not able to accept that on his website.
BTW, he runs a cool school that teaches people computational design and how to use it in product design realm. Do check him out. His school is post paid as it is aimed at students. Very interesting model.. he screens and talks to each student to account for purchase power parity.
He uses Stripe on his Squarespace website and everything is no-code (yeah! cool people things.). The power of these tools is pretty baffling.
Anyways, so, sipping some tinto de verano we had a problem that a Chinese student who has already attended one of his live classes needs to pay using Alipay. The conventional Stripe payment did not work. The customer care of Squarespace (that integrates Stripe) asked him to contact Stripe and Stripe’s documentation can be baffling sometimes. He was stuck 😔
So, over the last weekend, we worked together to implement a way to accept alipay payments using Stripe. It is not yet integrated into squarespace . For the test, We used the direct session link. #NotBuiltForScale
Hopefully, this write-up helps people integrate Alipay in their payment stacks and provides template code to do so. Surprisingly, this needs a simple server script that generates the payment session and hence, cannot be done entirely client-only. It beats me why, but as Old John says, this is what it is.
For this example, I used Nuxtjs (Like Next but for Vue 💚 ) with the vue-stripe plugin. The Nuxt SPA calls a deta microservice endpoint to generate a payment session on Stripe. The micro-service responds with sessionID generated. This session ID is used to redirect the customer to payment page. Our flow is based on the method described by stripe’s documentation here.
I will only be sharing the code for the ‘glue’ micro-service and sample vue page.
The schematic (drawn by yours truly) is as follows :
So, lets go step by step (paso a paso):
Nuxt and Axios are pretty common things as far as some front-end folks tell me. But to accept money, you need a payment partner. This payment partner will take our customer’s data to the payment handler (like VISA/ Mastercard) and make sure we get the money. Stripe is a service like that.
Now to talk to stripe, from our webapp, I used a plugin called vue-stripe. It is an official plugin for Vue/Nuxt and nicely documented. The plugin, helps package data and make calls in such a way that stripe standards are respected. If you are not doing something special (like us), the examples are just copy paste away from deploy. But…
In our case, we need to accept Alipay. Alipay (for reasons i do not know) cannot be accepted entirely using a client-only implementation. This took me a while to figure out. So, we need to write a server side script that takes in our data and generates a checkout session. To do this, I used Deta.
Deta is a service that deploys and runs nodejs/python scripts on the cloud. It gives you an end-point to talk to. I have been playing with it for mostly useless things until now.
Interestingly enough, I have come to prefer it over netlify functions as :
The function shown below takes in our POST request from Nuxt front-end and passes it to stripe’s servers. We have added alipay as a payment method to support in this particular session. Then, it returns a checkout session ID as a response. The session ID is consumed by the nuxt app as explained in Step 3.
For more info on getting started with Deta Micros, check this page.
The checkout session ID is passed to the vue-stripe plugin (based on example here) which redirects the client to the payment page. The vue-page can be constructed as suggested below.
After deploying everything, Let’s click the checkout button. 🥁
Tadaaa 🎉 It shows Alipay as a possible payment option.
Hope this helps someone on the internet. I must stress again, I am not a front-end developer, I just did this for fun. If anyone has any constructive criticism, I am open to learn :-)
With this hope,
Cheers y un abrazo,
— Rohit

Style sheet language used for describing the presentation of a document.
CSS is designed to enable the separation of presentation and content, including layout, colors, and fonts. Provides more flexibility and control in the specification of presentation characteristics, enable multiple web pages to share formatting by specifying the relevant CSS in a separate file.
andJS is a high-level, interpreted programming language that conforms to the ECMAScript specification. It is a language that is also characterized as dynamic, weakly typed, prototype-based and multi-paradigm.


In this tutorial we implement a high frequency and dynamic pairs trading strategy based on market-neutral statistical arbitrage strategy using a two-stage correlation and cointegration approach. This strategy is based on George J. Miao's work. We applied this trading strategy to the U.S. bank sector stocks, backtested this strategy with 10-minute stock data from 2012 to 2013. Our trading strategy yields a compounding annual return up to 29.4% and a 0.968 sharpe ratio.
This strategy is especially profitable when the market is performing poorly. The profit is resulted from mispricing, and mispricings are likely to happen when the market goes down or volatility increases.
To explore this strategy further, we design this strategy to be flexible. We can change the data resolution into 5 minutes, 10 minutes or even 30 minutes by simply changing a parameter. It's also essential to choose optimized entering, closing and stop loss threshold. Everyone can has his/her own version of this strategy.


X Factor: The Band first look as Nicole Scherzinger and Simon Cowell judge hopefuls
X Factor: The Band auditions first look as hopefuls, including reality star Tallia Storm, aim to impress judges Nicole Scherzinger and Simon Cowell
by Irishmirror.ieSimon Cowell and Nicole Scherzinger are set to return to ITV as judges on The X Factor : The Band – where either a girl group or boy band will battle it out to be crowned the nation’s new pop sensations.
They will be in good company along the likes of Little Mix, One Direction and Fifth Harmony.
Acts discovered on The X Factor since it began have sold more than 400 million records worldwide.
The show, which starts on Monday 9th December, will take The X Factor back to its roots as hopefuls will audition in Simon's office.
They will be selected by Simon, who has mentored a host of successful bands, and Nicole, who stars in The Pussycat Dolls, who recently reunited.
In the line up is Tallia Storm, 21, who has already had a solo singing career and starred on E4's Celebs Go Dating.
She told MailOnline she was keen for the experience of being in a band, and by the looks of the photos she sang her heart out.
The judges will be assisted by industry stars including X Factor winner Leona Lewis, Brit Award winner Ella Eyre, and producer Naughty Boy, who has had hits with Beyonce .
Host Dermot O'Leary will return to give moral support to the auditionees and their families.
Those who get through the first audition will be thrown in at the deep end as they will next audition in front of millions in Birmingham.
The judges will be joined again by Leona and Ella as well as artists Carla Williams, Lil' Eddie and Fred Ball.
It will be here that both the boy and girl band will be created by the judges – before the two groups go head to head in a live final.
The successful band will win the prize of a life-changing record contract.
Dermot says he can’t wait for viewers to see The X Factor: The Band.
He said: " Simon and the show have discovered some of the biggest pop groups in recent music history.
"One Direction, Fifth Harmony, Little Mix – they’re all stars and have sold millions of records.
“In previous years, you've seen the judges put individual singers in a group - usually with their decision making and reasoning off camera, but this time people will get to see the process take place.
“The judges will select girls and boys to form new bands just like they did with One Direction and Little Mix and then both will go head to head to be crowned the winning group with a live arena finale in Birmingham.”
* The X Factor: The Band launches on ITV on Monday December 9 at 8.30pm and continues on Wednesday December 11 and Friday December 13, both at 8.30pm

AMERICAN PIE USA, 1999 Directed by Paul Weitz Written by Adam Herz
Well, I did know better, but I was curious, went anyway and I got what I deserved -- the reaffirmation that I'm not eighteen any more.
For adults, while there are funny moments in this film about four high school guys who vow to end their virginity before their impending graduation in three weeks, overall the jokes and dialog are not sharp or clever enough and the movie just rates an OK.
But this isn't a movie for adults. It's a comedy for teenagers and as such, it's a good one. Teens can see and identify with their real non-idealized selves up there on the screen and will find the over-obvious, gross, embarrassing and sexual humor to be hilarious. The dialog is dumb, but realistic, since real teens aren't exactly fountains of wit. And contrary to most teen films, the six male characters don't break down into simplistic good and bad guys -- they're all pretty much clueless dweebs (which certainly echoes my high school experience) and the worst ones are jerks, but those can still be part of your social circle.
The film's R rating is one of those ironies that occurs frequently in the American censorship system -- it makes it difficult for a large portion of the film's target audience to actually see the film. (It's not exactly a film you'd enjoy watching with your Mom.) Perhaps it will reach its intended audience on video.
One scene that adults *can* totally enjoy is when Alyson Hannigan (Willow from the TV series BUFFY, THE VAMPIRE SLAYER), who plays a mousy, motormouth band dweeb constantly telling boring stories about band camp, suddenly does a 180-degree turn and says to her prom date "And then there was the time I stuck a flute in my pussy." As her date spurts out his beer, she tells him that band camp is really more of a sex ed camp.  I'm getting bored." In the bedroom, she reveals she chose him for the prom simply because he was a Sure Thing. Now dominantly aggressive, riding on top of him, she yells "What's my name?" slaps him and shouts "Say my name, bitch!"
Another good one is when one girl is quizzing another about her lack of orgasmic experience and says "Not even a manually-assisted one? You mean you've never double-clicked your mouse?"
Highly recommended for teenagers (particularly males). Worth a video rental for adult Willow fans. May or may not be worth a video rental for other adults.

Preparation time

Cooking time
10 to 30 mins

Serves 4
Treat someone special to homemade tortellini in a lemongrass and ginger cream sauce with clams and mussels.
Pulse the flour, egg, egg yolks and semolina in a food processor until well combined and the mixture comes together as a dough. Put the dough in a bowl, cover with cling film and rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Cut the pasta dough in half. Feed the pieces one at a time through a pasta machine according to the machine instructions, ending on the thinnest setting.
Mix both crab meats in a bowl with a little lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Lay a sheet of pasta onto a floured work surface and stamp out discs 6-8cm/2½-3in wide. Put a spoonful of the crab mixture onto each disc and brush the edges of the pasta lightly with the beaten egg.
Fold one half of the pasta over the filling then press lightly to seal. Pick the crescent of pasta up and twist the edges together, forming a little lip on the outside edge of the pasta. Repeat with the remaining pasta and filling then set the tortellini aside, covered in cling film, until ready to cook.
For the lemongrass and ginger sauce, clean the shellfish and remove and beards from the mussels. Discard any that are cracked, and any open shells that do not close when given a sharp tap.
Heat a large saucepan with a lid and add the mussels, clams, wine and coriander stalks. Cook with the lid on for 2-3 minutes or until all the shells are open. Discard any that do not open.
Strain, keeping the liquor, and remove half the mussels and clams from the shells and keep the other half in their shells for presentation.
Heat a sauté pan until hot and add the butter, shallots, ginger and lemongrass and fry for 5 minutes.
Pour in the liquor from the mussels and clams, add the fish stock and bring to the boil, then simmer for 3-4 minutes. Pass the mixture through a fine sieve into a clean saucepan.
To finish the sauce, add the cream, salt, pepper and lemon juice. Whisk until well combined.
For the spinach, heat a large sauté pan and add the butter and cook the spinach for 1-2 minutes or until wilted.
To cook the pasta, heat a large saucepan of salted water. Once boiling add the tortellini and cook for 1-2 minutes or until they float to the top.
Place the wilted spinach in the centre of the serving bowl and top with the tortellini. Spoon the sauce over the top and garnish with mussels, clams and coriander cress.

Startup Studio
The startup studio. Every entrepreneur I know dreams about building a startup studio, myself included.
A startup studio is simply an umbrella organization grouping together a set of ideas & products. What’s great about the studio model is that you’re not tied to any 1 thing like a company is. You’re not constrained to any particular sector, idea, product, etc. – you’re starting with nothing but some general hypotheses, and you can go in any direction you like.
What’s awesome about this is the experimental nature of the startup studio. You can explore a variety of ideas at once that can be unrelated or even conflicting – and quickly start/kill any of them at any time. You’re free to think, explore, and learn much faster than you would ordinarily.
Startups are hard and scary. In many cases, the end result of a startup has very little to do with the original idea. So the studio model lets you explore and experiement. If you have some inclination, you build & test it. If something isn’t working, you put it to rest and take your lessons. And if something works, you can spin it out and push it further.
What I love about this is the freedom to practice and exercise the 0 → 1 muscle. As Peter Thiel has noted, 0 → 1 is the most difficult stage of building companies, but also the most fun and exciting. And I would love to spend my time focused on that.
The retort that I hear from people is about a seeming lack of results & focus. If we look at the existing ones – Betaworks, Expa, Obvious, North, HVF, and even Rocket Internet – there is a consistnent thesis behind every studio. And some great companies have already been built from these groups.
And it’s fairly early still in the lifetime of these studios, so we’ll see in a few years how they fair. But the results so far look good.
For a full list of startup studios, click here. Thanks to Stefano Bernardi for compiling and sharing.

| Prismic\Cache\clear | ( | ) |
Clears the whole cache
| Prismic\Cache\delete | ( | $key | ) |
Deletes a cache entry, from its key
| string | $key | the key of the cache entry |
| Prismic\Cache\get | ( | $key | ) |
Returns the value of a cache entry from its key
| string | $key | the key of the cache entry |
| Prismic\Cache\has | ( | $key | ) |
This is the interface you're supposed to implement if you want to use your own caching strategy with the kit.
The way it works is pretty simple: implement the methods with your implementation, and pass an instance of your class as the $cache parameter in your Prismicget call.
When writing your implementation be sure to check if your cache backend has a maximum key length. If so you will need to perform an operation on the key passed to the interface methods to limit the length, such as hashing it, since there is no guarantee that the passed keys will be any particular length.
Two implementations are included in the PHP kit out-of-the-box: ApcCache (which works with APC) and NoCache (which doesn't cache).
@param string $key the key of the cache entry @return boolean true if the cache has a value for this key, otherwise false
| Prismic\Cache\set | ( | $key, | |
| $value, | |||
$ttl = 0 |
|||
| ) |
Stores a new cache entry
| string | $key | the key of the cache entry |
| \stdClass | $value | the value of the entry |
| int | $ttl | the time (in seconds) until this cache entry expires |

Adding items at the end and at the beginning of the uiScroll items buffer is possible with Adapter.append(foo) and Adapter.prepend(foo) methods respectively. The argument of both methods (foo) could be an item or an array of items that we want to add. Both methods act in the same way, so let's discuss prepend.
In this demo we have 20 items on start and 5 of them (95-99) are invisible on the backward direction. By pushing "Prepend" button we are going to add 4 (which is out input value) new items to the top of the list. After they are prepended, they may become visible when scrolling up. The uiScroll accurately injects prepended items into it's internal dataset, so 1-4 new items replace old items with indexes 91-94.
But if we scroll away and make '90s items invisible and deleted from the viewport, and then scroll back, we will realise that nothing changes: 91-94 items have their rightful place. This is how the Datasource implemented, it does not take into account our dataset changes. Next sample provides one of the approach of consistent Datasource implementation with Adapter.append and Adapter.prepend methods usage.

The current global warming is being driven by a very rapid increase in the amount of these greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This increase can be explained primarily by human changes to the planet - the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and large-scale agriculture. As human beings produce more of these greenhouse gases, the global climate has warmed at a corresponding rate. The corresponding changes to the Earth's climate are called anthropogenic climate change.

[gecode-users] Gecode headers not found

Hi,
I confirm that the compilation of Qt-creator 1.3.1 using msvc-2008 does not raise any problem (NB: it needs having Qt-4.6.1 for msvc installed, and takes about 1 hour on a netbook).
Then, from the Qt profile related to our gecode program, qmake automatically creates a makefile pointing on Gecode lib and include repositories.
Only one fix was needed in the automatically-generated makefile: msvc was called with option "-Wextra" which made it crash. I had to remove this option, then compilation went on.
Regarding Gecode, everything seems to work fine, but it seems gcc and msvc does not rely on the same specification, e.g. a declaration of the form:
int table_id [ size ];
raises an error when compiling with msvc.

As bochs is an open-source initiative, I'd like to try it first. Its installation from the binary file went well. I'll now install a linux on the VM.
Thanks again for your help,
cheers,

How-To
This page will walk you through the basics of Network Navigator, the browser tool designed for network metrics and visualization.
Load Data
To load data into Network Navigator, type or drag-and-drop your edge list into the box. Use a CSV file or type your edges separated by commas, as below. (If you include a header row, the site will look for source, target, and weight columns, and it will keep track of any other columns you enter.)
Person One,Person Two
Person Two,Person Three
Person Three,Person One
Your network can be either weighted or unweighted, and either directed or undirected. If your network is weighted, you'll need to add a third column to every line with the weight value:
Person One,Person Two,5
This site will work best with networks of up to 500 nodes and up to 10,000 edges, but networks of 250-500 edges will give the best visualization results. Networks larger than 500 nodes and ~10,000 edges may result in some slowdown of site functions.
n.b.: Network Navigator is currently only set up for unimodal (or unipartite) networks. While it will give results for any edge list, be advised that the metrics for bipartite networks aren't reliable.
Once you've typed or drag-and-dropped your data into the textbox and selected the appropriate options, you can click "Navigate" to display the dashboard for your network.
Read Results
Clicking "Navigate" will load the network dashboard, with metrics on the left and visualizations on the right. If you need to make changes to the underlying data, you can scroll up to get to the original textbox, make your adjustments, and click "Navigate" again to start over.
You can collapse either the Metrics or Visualizations sides of the dashboard to get a better view of the data. On the metrics side, you will see a short list of global network metrics, a histogram showing the frequency distribution of different node-level metrics, and a table showing each node and its metric values. (You'll also see download options, which we discuss below.)
Clicking on the options above the histogram bar chart will show different graphs for each selected metric. These buttons will also update the size of the nodes in the force layout and arc diagram visualizations.
Searching for specific nodes in the data table will also filter the visualization, making it easier to find the node you're looking for.
Read results with care! Some metrics will be affected by the type of graph you select. For example, in many smaller directed graphs, eigenvector centrality will be 0 for every node. Though this looks like an error, it's due to the nature of eigenvector centrality. When possible, Network Navigator displays error messages to explain some of these special cases.
Customize Visualizations
One the right side of the screen, you have three different options for visualizations: clicking on "Force Layout," "Arc Diagram," and "Adjacency Matrix" will display these visualization types.
You can scroll to zoom the Force Layout and Arc Diagram. In the Adjacency Matrix, you can click and drag to draw a box around the area you'd like to zoom into. In all visualizations, click the "Restore Zoom" button to return to the original display.
Clicking "Customize Graph" will open a menu, different for each visualization type, that gives options for changing the appearance of the network. You can update the size or color of nodes, hide and show labels, change the order of nodes, and more.
If your data had a header row and included more edge attributes, like edge weights, edge types, or timespans, you can filter the Force Layout and Arc Diagram based on those attributes. Select your desired attribute under "Filter by edge attribute" and navigate through the menus that appear.
Export and Download
On the left side of the screen, beneath the global network metrics, is a set of options for downloading visualizations and data. Choose an option to download: a PNG or SVG of your current visualization view, a PNG of the current histogram, or a TXT file containing the global network metrics.
You can also download the full node table as a CSV. To do this, scroll down to the node table and click "Download as CSV." You can also copy the data to the clipboard.

HERO A film review by Sean Eric Fagan Copyright 1992 Sean Eric Fagan
As I was watching HERO, I kept classifying the themes to myself, and came up with: appearances, people's expectations, both of themselves and others, and the truths behind those.
That's not a bad description of what happens in the movie, although there's a bit more, of course. The first appearance, and expectation, is that of Gale Gayley (Geena Davis), who appears to be a cool, professional reporter. But she lets her guard down while receiving an award, to show that she is tired of uncovering the half-truths and deceptions of supposedly "good" people to find the dirt beneath, or even of finding that the "dirt" is, itself, a deception.
The second appearance, and expectation, is that of Bernie Laplante, who is a fence, convicted and awaiting sentencing. The appearance he presents to the world is that of a cold, self-centered, uncaring, unkempt low-life. The world, his ex-wife and kid, and himself have all accepted him as this, and he doesn't want to break out of it.
But, of course, if he didn't, it wouldn't be much of a movie. So, fate conspires to make a hero out of Bernie Laplante, much to his dismay.
Enter the third, and most obvious, charade: John Bubber (Andy Garcia), a man living in his car, who picks up Bernie after Bernie's car breaks down the night after making himself an unknown hero.
Bubber takes advantage of a situation, and becomes the hero everyone is looking for. And, surprisingly enough, he *is* a hero, in all but deed. He cares about other people, he is humble, he does his best to use his fame and fortune for others. Then, it turns out that he was even an unrecognized hero in Vietnam, and he gets a medal.
Bubber *is* a good man, whom fate has conspired to keep hidden. He takes advantage of fate's conspiracy with Bernie, and the public eats it up. And as the public grows to admire their fake hero, he grows into the role, and continues to be a seemingly-honest and noble person. (In fact, the only thing he is *not* honest and noble about is taking credit for Bernie in the first place.)
The movie takes about one third of its length to set that all up, and does a good job of it. Hoffman is a convincing antiprotagonist, just as Garcia is a convincing antiantigonist.
In the end, of course, the truth is uncovered -- sort of. But not before Bubber becomes a hero, again, in both name and deed, and not before Bernie also becomes another (unknown) hero -- again.
I enjoyed this movie, although it was not enough to grab my entire attention (otherwise, I would not have been able to keep thinking about classifying the themes throughout the movie!). I do recommend it, however. I suppose if I were going to rate it, I would give it a +3 on a -5 to +5 scale.

It was and still is, a great way for me to really learn and understand myself, as well as others.
Yes. I have been on a mindful journey since I moved to wellington in 2013/with every therapist I see.
I guess my bias is that mindfulness is necessary to being a better person.

After meditating I have noticed that I am much calmer and my thoughts are less overwhelming/I can sleep much quicker than without.
An improvement every time I do it.
As of joining the Dev-Acad Foundations I have been able to make as a habit - daily learning with hands on coding.
I will continue to be mindful about making daily improvements and, being aware that I am growing.
In regards to this sprints particular exercise only: It is good.
Relaxing. To allow someone to fully express without my interruptions and to instead be present while they are talking is a good practice.
EI or EQ (emotional quotient) is apparently the ability to read a person and (one would hope) read a room. This allows a person to behave in a complex yet seemingly simple way when interacting with anything. Be it Human, cute bunny, or a ball with a face drawn on it.
IQ (intelligence quotient) is only how well a person does on a particular quiz. Unfortunately the term doesn't even encompass the wide range of intelligences out there - such as being illiterate but at the same time an amazing business person, a savant who couldn't read any of this opinion piece but inspires movies about code breaking government secrets.
But in general IQ is just a way to say that you are very smart.
It is important to be able to balanced in terms of your emotions and intelligence rationale.
If you were to be 'over-emotional' you may be more inclined to be biased towards the feelings of others and yourself instead of the progression and functioning of a common objective.
The reverse would be to be so rational that the objectives are to be met regardless of how it may hurt the others that are trying to achieve the same objective. (I fatally think of Capitalism...)
So in my understanding of EQ, it is a way to function as someone who is knowledgeable in a particular field, but also possesses a character that is agreeable/personable when dealing with peers, clients and in general.
Though, when talking about 'Emotions' per se, there are two ways that emotion is responded to: Sympathetic, and Empathetic.
 Sympathetic people may be able to see that someone is having a hard time but they'd be the type to sit there on the sideline making comments about how glad they aren't that person.  Accessibility is definitely the domain of the empathetic problem solver.
Thank You for coming to my Tedtalk.
from: https://www.diffen.com/difference/EQ_vs_IQ
EQ vs. IQ. Emotional Intelligence, or emotional quotient (EQ), is defined as an individual's ability to identify, evaluate, control, and express emotions. ... IQ, or intelligence quotient, is score derived from one of several standardized tests designed to assess an individual's intelligence.


Let's talk about ruby classes. We're not going to get in to the definition and everything you can know and do with them, but instead we'll look at an example using a real-world object to get a better understanding!
Let's say I am writing a fantasy novel(nerd!), and in my imaginary world there is a group of people who only speak a language called Weckelan. I want this language to feel as real as possible, so I am going to make up at least 2,000 words that I can pick and choose from when those characters speak. I am going to create a Language class to help me keep track of these words and make sure I don't repeat any.
Now I am not going to write out the entire code, but let's take a look at the basic structure of my new Language class:
class Language
def initialize(word)
@word = word
end
def check
#check if word exists already in the language
end
def add_word
#if word does not exist add the word to the language.
end
end
word001 = Language.new("fghuteroudo")
word001.add_word
After I have created the Language class, I am then initializing the class by turning the word variable that holds the argument to be checked in to an instance variable so it can be used across the class. Then I create a new method to check if the word exists, and finally one more method to add the word to the language.
So then when I create a new word, I create a new instance of that class and call add_word on that instance to either add the word if it doesn't exist yet, or return an error of some kind. I might just go make up a language now to try this out!


3 Awesome Interns, Who are they!?
Milu Franz
Milu is attending Franklin University, exploring the world of Computer Science. While taking classes for interactive media she stumbled upon a class called introduction to programming, supplying her with the basics and new-found love of code. This was it, the starting point, that gave her a most excellent goal, to become a 'Kick-ass' developer.
Outside of code and development Milu is your future swole-mate. She enjoys weight-lifting and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, but you could also find her drawing Copic markers in her past time. With all that working out, it's really no surprise that she loves food, stating that some of here faves are: sushi, Thai, Indian, and Peruvian. She has a dream of traveling to Iceland and really likes the color mint-green.
Amberly Hoffman
Amberly comes to us through Sinclair Community College and is work hard on a dual associates in web and software development.  This would shape her future, she knew she would wind up in the tech world, just not necessarily how. It was when she got her first 'Big-Girl' job at a Chicago-based startup, that she was introduced into the tech industry in action. It was a gateway for her to loving tech and code, to pursuing her degree. It is the freedom and flexibility of schedule that will allow her to reach her dream of being a wicked awesome developer and being able to travel the world at the same time.
Kicking it student style for so long, she claims she has lost track of her hobbies, but if she's got the time it's gaming, sewing, and making art. Her color of choice would fall into the pastels range, because it's is too hard to choose just one! And finally at the end of the day her preferred meal would be sushi.
Alex Crane
Alex is bringing us style from the School of Advertising Art in Kettering, Ohio. Concentrating mainly on Graphic Design, Alex has also begun to really enjoy the realm of web development. For his future, Alex sees himself as a free-spirit, want to experience all that life can throw at him, through traveling, coding and creating, or possibly carving away time in a woodworking shop.
One thing that we may not see in the future is Alex regularly cooking food, preferring a life of eating out or off of other peoples' plate, his favorite food is one of very little effort. If he had to choose a preferred color palette (and he did)it would be somewhere in the #ff8300 range, originally saying it would be too hard to choose. Alex really wants to be able to travel the world, first exploring a few places close to home: Alaska and Hawaii, then making his way across the ocean to Japan. When he's not dreaming of the future or creating, he enjoys flying drones and is researching how to modify them.
We can't wait to see what they bring to the team. If their first couple of weeks are any indicator, whatever it is it'll be amazing.
