Next Goals
In the last post, I found that explicitly writing out the consequences of achieving a goal (and particularly what sacrifices you must make) helps tremendously prepare you for taking action. In a sense, you envision yourself before, during, and after the process, so that:
a) Nothing takes you by surprise (during the process) b) Your eyes stay focused on the goal (the end of the process)
So, I’m going to do that again for another set of goals I hope to accomplish by Christmas.
These were goals I’d previously set but failed to meet. I’m now here to buckle down and get to business. The next three months will be intense on self improvement in many facets of my life.
1) Everyday, I’m going to work on something that improves myself. I’ve more or less been building healthy habits for the past couple of months, but they don’t seem to stick. There must be something fundamentally wrong (such as a lack of internalization) with the way I’m approaching these goals. To be more specific about this point, I’m going to improve in three fields particularly:
1.1) Technically - work hard and smart at work, do some extra (personal?) stuff at home. Could be coding, or simply tackling stimulating problems in mathematics, physics, etc.
To accomplish this, I’ll have to sacrifice time wasted surfing the web, and also learn to take extended periods of time without a “break” (read: game of league/overwatch). It’ll be tough, and I don’t think it’ll get any easier over the month. Nevertheless, I will power through and treat this as an exercise for my tenacity. I will not track the number of problems I solve, because that’s about as superficial as you can get in terms of learning metrics.
1.2) Culturally - Read!!!! Everyday!!! There is no excuse to this.  This is properly exemplified by the 30 or so books that I have sitting between 10 - 80% on my kindle. Yes, I’ve dropped books even though I was at 80%. For some reason, I don’t find the enjoyment in seeing things to the end.  I’ll be trying my best to finish things through to the end. This will allow me to appreciate things in their entirety.
To be completely honest, the only thing I have to sacrfice here is time. (read: game of league/overwatch). Half an hour a day is NOT hard, and reading should not feel burdensome. You’re learning, and you’re intaking information. Helps with visualization, writing, and focus management.
I’ll feel extremely sleepy about 3-4 pages in, but I recognize this and will not let myself stop after 3 short minutes.
1.3) Communicating - I did poorly in my recent interview with Facebook. While I solved two out of three problems presented to me, I’m fairly confident that it was the ones I DID solve that lost me the opportunity, as opposed to the one I did NOT solve. This is because I truly struggle to clearly articulate my thoughts.  I’ll try to explain one complex topic a week to one of my friends who don’t know about the topic. I think I’ll have the most fun for this one, as it doubles for a chance to reconnect with some old friends, and try out some Win Friends and Influence People tactics from Dale Carnegie’s one of a kind book.
As a side report of my previous weightloss goals:
Current weight:175.8 Target: 170.0 Deadline: Nov 30.
Lost more than expected, though I’m pretty sure the majority of my weight lost was waterweight. This, plus the fact that I started my log at the highest point I’d measured in a while (probably also due to water weight).

Projections
Map projections are a powerful and essential tool for GIS development. Geo-F/X has a
complete library of support for map projections. This library is based on the
USGS’ General Cartographic Transformation Package and the EPSG.
Supported projections include almost all common datums and ellipsoids as well
as most common projections, including all NAD27 and NAD83 state plane projections and
UTM projections.
The section below is small sample of some of the world projections supported. The
image is based on the NGDC 5 minute DEM data of the world, rendered by a Geo-F/X
algorithm and displayed using a variety of map projections. For a brief description
of how these were produced, click here. To see a
large version of the image, simply click on the thumbnails adjacent to the
short description.
|
|
The Mercator projection is familiar as it is very widely used. It is characterized
by straight meridians and parallels that intersect at right angles. Scale is true
at the equator or at two standard parallels equidistant from the equator.
The projection is often used for marine navigation because all straight lines
on the map are lines of constant azimuth
|
|
|
The Miller projection, like the Mercator, has straight meridians and parallels
that meet at right angles, but straight lines are not of constant azimuth. Shapes
and areas are distorted. Directions are true only along the equator, but the
projection avoids the scale exaggerations of the Mercator projection.
|
|
|
The Robinson projection is what is called a pseudo-projection because it is
not purely geometric formulae, but is based on tables of coordinates. The
projection has been designed to balance the distortion of shape, area, scale,
and distance.
|
|
|
The Mollweide projection, based on a secant azimuthal method is often used for
world maps because it tends to retain the shapes of areas. Scale is true only
along the standard parallels of 41 N and 41 S.
|
|
|
Sinusoidal equal-area maps have straight parallels at right angles to a
central meridian. Scale is true only on the central meridian and the parallels.
Often used for regional projections in countries with a large north-south extent.

This is a simple projection onto the WGS 84 spheroid, centered at 150 E longitude
|

|
Another geographic projection onto the WGS 84 spheroid, this one centered at
110 W longitude
|
|
|
This projection onto the WGS spheroid, is looking down onto the abyssal
plain of the Arctic Ocean.

I am a software engineer from Romania currently working in the United Kingdom.
The country I grew up in is a very sunny place, around 2000 hours of sunshine per year. Why am I mentioning this?
Because I went to university in Glasgow where our star shows up a little over half of that amount.
Romania is filled with friendly people, tasty food, lots of lovely sights and did I mention lots of sun? Here's it is, I recommend a visit if you've not seen it yet.
I have studied Computing Science at the University of Glasgow and obtained a First Class BSc degree.


Ruby class creation is a great tool for your coding repertoire. Ruby comes with a number of classes (string, integer, object) with many methods already built in to manipulate them. In this post I will show you how to build you own classes and why they are helpful.
When you create your own class, it acts just like the already built in classes. You can create a new instance of the class with .new. You can also create your own methods inside of the class that can be called with class.method. These are called instance methods. They only exist and operate inside of your created class. As you should already know, variables inside methods, or local variables, only exist inside of the method and disappear as soon as the method is finished. However in classes, you can create instance variables which exist inside the class and never lose their assignment, and therefore can be passed in and out of methods. Take a look at this code modeling a real world object. Specifically a die.
class Die
def initialize(sides)
@sides = sides
end
attr_reader :sides
def roll
return rand(@sides) + 1
end
end
As you can see I have a class Die which, when initialized, will take an argument "sides", that will represent how many sides our die will have. The special method "initialize" will perform its code block every time a new instance of our class is initialized. Inside this we see our first instance variable "@sides". All instance variables start with the special character "@". This variable can and is used inside of our other two code blocks which are instance methods. You can probably see what the bottom method is going to do, it models a real world roll of the die we have created. However the code block in the middle is probably confusing. Attr_ methods are specific to classes and are a way for Ruby to minimize code and repetition. In this case we have used attr_reader because all we want from this method is to tell us how many sides our die has. This code is equivalent to
def sides
return @sides
end
Now that we have our class defined we can start to use it.
sixdie = Die.new(6)
sixdie.sides
=>6
sixdie.roll
=>random number between 1 and 6.
First I create a new instance of my class in sixdie. Then I call our two methods and show you the result of each. This is a very simple object to model, but as you can see classes can be used to model very complex objects as well. As long as you can code it that is.


Background
Programming is a method using instructions to manipulate data. Object is a kind of data structures that has attributes and behaviors. Attributes can be some data, such as variables, related to the object. Behaviors are methods/functions can be used by the object.
The Real World is made up of objects.
The purpose of OOP is to make programmers focus more on manipulating objects rather than the underlying logic required to manipulate them.
The method also benefits collaborative development where projects are large, complex and actively updated or maintained.
Pros and Cons
The advantages:
Re-usability
Code Maintenance.
Productivity
The disadvantages:
The thought process involved in OOP may not be natural for some people, and it will take the time to get used to it.
It is a confused concept, when getting into some scenarios, it’s very hard to get everyone to agree what it is exactly.
It limits your options about how you think about solutions to a problem.
Type systems are extremely useful in modern software engineering, but wrapping type systems into OOP systems is still not a good idea. The untyped OOP languages require 10x more testing to achieve comparable reliability and are extremely slow.
Most of the GoF design patterns are lack of functional programming.
The size of programmes developed with OOP is larger than the procedural approach.
Since larger in size, that means more instruction to be executed, which results in the slower execution of programmes.
Diamond inheritance problems (also happens in abstract/traits/interfaces)
The Real World is actually not made up of objects.
However, so far the advantages of OOP always dominate upon the limitations of it.
Features
- Abstraction
- Encapsulation
- Polymorphism
- Inheritance
- Association
- Aggregation
- Composition
- Reusability
- Objects and Classes
- Data Hiding
- Open recursion
Principles
SOLID
- Single-responsibility principle
- Open–closed principle
- Liskov substitution principle
- Interface segregation principle
- Dependency inversion principle
GRASP - General Responsibility Assignment Software Patterns
Pipline
The first step in OOP is to collect all of the objects a programmer wants to manipulate and identify how they relate to each other - an exercise often known as data modeling.
Once an object is known, it is labeled with a class of objects that defines the kind of data it contains and any logic sequences that can manipulate it. Each distinct logic sequence is known as a method.
Objects communicate with well-defined interfaces called messages.

How does the internet work?
In its basic essence, the internet is merely a global networks of computers connected to each other. Each computer has a unique number, an Internet Protocol address. The number has 12 numbers and is separated by dots every third digit, that is: nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn where n has to be between 0 and 255.
These computers are connected by a global network of cables pictured here:
The network that's displayed in the above image shows how countries and continents are all interwoven into the world wide web, with long cables spanning the actual pacific ocean. The longest cable hits 39 landing points from German to Korea, spanning 24,000 miles! Here's an informative video that gives more info on this marvel of human engineering.
The signals that travel through these cables are small chunks of data, ranging from 20 to 1500 bytes. These data packets have embedded within them the IP address of their final destination and thus navigate from router to router until they reach it. This mind blowing video shows us in easy to understand terms how packets travel through the world.
The internet is among the most powerful tools created by mankind. It is one of our greatest achievements, one that was built on a foundation made from the peak of understanding of mathematics, computer science, engineering, and physics. It allows us to share the sum of all of our knowledge at the speed of light across national divides, breaking down the barriers that divide humanity. The internet represents the end of censorship and the final free flow of information through the world. Thanks to the internet, ideas can now reign free.

The countries and overseas territories/communities that reported their first pandemic (H1N1) 2009 confirmed case(s) since the last web update (6 July 2009) as of 22 July 2009:
Afghanistan, Andorra, Belize, Bhutan, Botswana, La Réunion (French Overseas Community) , Haiti, the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, Namibia, Sint Eustatius (Netherlands Antilles) , Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Seychelles, Solomon Islands, the Sudan, Tonga, Turks and Caicos Islands (UK Overseas Territory), the United Republic of Tanzania, American Samoa (US), Guam (US)
*Given that countries are no longer required to test and report individual cases, the number of cases reported actually understates the real number of cases.

More Praise for Rework
"In typical 37signals fashion, the wisdom in these pages is edgy yet simple, straightforward, and proven ... Read this book multiple times to help give you the courage you need to get out there and make something great."
--Tony Hsieh, CEO, Zappos.com
"The brilliance of Rework is that it inspires you to rethink everything you thought you knew about strategy, customers, and getting things done."
--William C. Taylor, founding editor of Fast Company and coauthor of Mavericks at Work
"For me, Rework posed a new challenge: stifling the urge to rip out each page and tape it to my wall ... Amazing, powerful, inspirational--those adjectives might make me sound like a fawning fan, but Rework is that useful. After you've finished it, be prepared for a new feeling of clarity and motivation."
--Kathy Sierra, co-creator of the bestselling Head First series and founder of javaranch.com
"Inspirational ... In a world where we all keep getting asked to do more with less, the authors show us how to do less and create more."
--Scott Rosenberg, cofounder of Salon.com and author of Dreaming in Code and Say Everything
"Leave your sacred cows in the barn and let 37signals' unconventional wisdom and experience show you the way to business success in the twenty-first century. No MBA jargon or consultant-speak allowed. Just practical advice we can all use. Great stuff."
 Rework is not just smart and succinct but grounded in the concreteness of doing rather than hard-to-apply philosophizing. This book inspired me to trust myself in defying the status quo."
--Penelope Trunk, author of Brazen Careerist: The New Rules for Success
"[This book's] assumption is that an organization is a piece of software. Editable. Malleable. Sharable. Fault-tolerant. Comfortable in Beta. Reworkable. The authors live by the credo 'keep it simple, stupid' and Rework possesses the same intelligence--and irreverence--of that simple adage."
--John Maeda, author of The Laws of Simplicity
"Rework is like its authors: fast-moving, iconoclastic, and inspiring. It's not just for startups. Anyone who works can learn from this."
--Jessica Livingston, partner, Y Combinator; author, Founders at Work


The following article was published in The Mountain Astrologer Magazine.
I love working with the Moon! Within its silvery light lie the answers to questions about emotions, feelings, needs and intuition. Lunar energy does not intellectualize or reason, instead it knows and comprehends. It is the place to go to connect with the Goddess, the mother energy. It helps us to identify our needs and to nurture them.
Every month the Moon makes an orbit around the Earth, passing through the twelve signs of the zodiac. As it changes signs every 2 1/2 days, emotional attitudes change, too. This has an impact on your personality, sometimes causing you to feel powerful, at other times sensitive and vulnerable.
Knowing what sign the Moon is in and understanding the emotional orientation of that sign can be very helpful. In fact, certain Moon signs consistently may have more of an impact on you every month than others. Generally speaking, the effects of the Moon are most noticeable when it transits your natal Sun or Moon sign. Strong emotional reactions during that time can indicate a pattern of ignoring your “needs” and not nurturing yourself consistently enough - like putting yourself on a starvation diet emotionally. The Moon’s energy is a reminder to comfort and mother yourself and receive unconditional love from Spirit more often.
If you find consistent vulnerabilities from month-to-month during these transits, take the hint! Attend to your needs! Nourish yourself emotionally on a more regular basis.
Likewise if you’ve been consistently feeding yourself gourmet meals emotionally - recognizing the need to “inflow” and receive - you may find the Moon’s transit to your natal Sun and Moon sign a powerful time, when you truly feel “in sync” with your intuition and instincts.
Your Sun and Moon sign aren’t the only possible reactive areas in your chart. If you are currently having a solar arc or transit from one of the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune or Pluto), the Moon can trigger emotional activity as well as related events when it passes through the part of your chart being affected. Again, remember, this happens once a month; and in this case it acts like a trigger – stimulating growth that is necessary to get the most from the cycle.
For instance, suppose Uranus is transiting your Midheaven. Most of the time this is a long term cycle, and could take up to a year to complete. Once a month when the Moon transits over your Midheaven, you might feel increased restless and notice that the urge to explore new jobs - or the desire to add adventure and freedom to your career path is stimulated. In this case, each month when the Moon passes over your Midheaven, you will likely examine the issue of whether a new direction is necessary - and you would start to “chip away” at resistance to appropriate change.
Another great way to use lunar energy is to pay attention to the sign the Moon is transiting on a daily basis. As you observe the movement through the twelve signs, you can develop an awareness of how you respond to particular signs and then take whatever measures you need for ensuring a productive experience. You can also become more aware of how these transits affect the public - and observe patterns and changes in the emotional climate and be able to respond accordingly.
You will probably quickly start to see patterns emerge . The transit of the Moon through certain signs may trigger consistent behavior or feelings every month. It’s important to stay objective though - observing rather than “programming” that you’ll feel or react in a certain way. When you start working with Moon transits, I wouldn’t advise you to first look up the Moon sign and start watching for the “expected” effects.
One of the more important spiritual teachings for me is to release the need to be in rigid control of all aspects of life, and instead, trusting, being present in the moment and letting life flow.
So with that in mind, I suggest you take note of the days that stand out for you personally, then check the Moon. Journal this for a few months. You’ll notice the patterns that reveal themselves. You’ll be able to trust you’re not just projecting an expected result.
As a personal example, I know that the transit of the Moon in Scorpio is not my best time for staying optimistic and hopeful. Over the years I have experienced this to be true nearly every month this transit happens. My Sun is Scorpio - I am highly attuned to the emotional intensity of this water sign. I am quite aware of this because I am normally a very positive person. I focus on affirmations, meditation and positive prayer nearly every day.
For me, the Moon in Scorpio triggers deep introspection and emotional intensity. I brood more during this time, and I often feel like being alone so I can wrestle with my inner fears or other feelings. This moody time points out where I am vulnerable and where I need to grow, and it creates the emotional environment that prompts me to focus on my own spiritual evolution and healing.
Because of this vulnerability, I take extra care to see myself as a growing and evolving soul. I focus on viewing life as a “quest” instead of a “test” - respecting the fact that the goal is not to be perfect, but instead… to be perfecting. I focus on treating the vulnerabilities that are uncovered as opportunities for growth. This helps me turn the Moon in Scorpio transit into a healing experience.
I usually experience a sigh of relief when the Moon moves into Sagittarius. There is such a feeling of lightness compared to the emotional intensity of the Scorpio energy.
Another strategy for using the lunar energy is to plan activities that match the energy of the sign the Moon is transiting. For example, I consistently procrastinate doing certain administrative duties. Activities that require a lot of detail and organization (like filing papers or doing taxes), I will avoid as long as possible. So when piles of charts to be filed litter my floor, I watch for a Moon that supports that activity - Virgo.
When I schedule my administrative chores on a Moon in Virgo day, not only does it mean I get the work done, but I usually get a great sense of fulfillment from accomplishing the chore. For me, this Moon in Virgo strategy works like a charm every time.
Now, will you react the same way to this Moon? It’s not a certainty because it depends on your horoscope and your personality. You might enjoy doing detailed work all the time, so having the Moon in Virgo wouldn’t matter. But just as I know where my weak spots are, you probably know where yours are. It’s helpful to recognize and use the Moon transit that will support your achieving a particular task.
Obviously you may not always have the opportunity to schedule activities based on a Moon transit. But when you can, you will feel nourished by an activity that normally feels like a chore.
To start using this information you may want to purchase an astrological calendar. There are several good ones to choose from. My personal favorite is Jim Maynard’s Pocket Astrologer - available online or at Metaphysical bookstores.
To help you start working with these energy patterns, here is a list of general descriptions for the Moon in each sign.
Moon in Aries
While the Moon is transiting Aries, there is a great deal of physical energy to tap into. It’s a period of ambition, competitiveness and impulsiveness. Initiating new projects, pioneering new paths and acting with courage flow well. Aries craves to do things fast, so impatience and irritation can flare. Beware of the urge to drive aggressively and too fast. If you can find projects where you can work independently and at your own pace you may feel more nurtured by this Moon.
Moon in Taurus
In Taurus the energy is steady, solid and persevering. The tendency is to resist change and to protect the status quo. There could be the urge to be more stubborn than usual if pushed for too much change. Generally the Taurus transit works well with practical concerns. Also enjoying good food, hanging out in comfortable surroundings, appreciating beauty and making progress on projects already started.
Moon in Gemini
The emphasis moves to the intellect with this Mercury ruled sign. Generate new ideas, write, challenge your mind, find an opportunity to communicate. You may feel adaptable and talkative and may even have a hard time staying focused on just one activity. Variety is what nourishes Gemini. This is a time when it’s easier to be objective about emotions.
Moon in Cancer
This is where the Moon feel most at home, so lunar energies are most easily expressed in this sign. Emotions run strong and sensitivity and compassion is high. It’s a good time to be with close friends and family. Baking, gardening and activities related to the home are best accomplished now. Generally it’s a sentimental, nurturing and loving time.
Moon in Leo
The energy is outgoing, dramatic and independent during a Leo Moon. Activities that require confidence, enthusiasm, dignity and leadership work well. Being recognized and appreciated also have greater rewards now. Finding outlets to show leadership and encouragement to others can bring a strong sense of satisfaction.
Moon in Virgo
Detailed tasks are best accomplished now. This is a good time to clean and organize. The energy is inward, precise, perfectionistic and somewhat intellectual. There is strong satisfaction from accomplishment and hard work during a Virgo Moon.
Moon in Libra
During a Libra Moon relationships will be important. Connecting with others, communicating and creating harmony are highlighted. It is an excellent time to appreciate beauty and to pursue the arts. The natural flow of energy will move towards socializing and seeking refined activities. It is a good time for teamwork and partnerships.
Moon in Scorpio
There is no way around the fact that Scorpio Moons are intense and passionate. The powerful energies at this time can be channeled into activities such as deep inner healing, transformational work and anything that requires a penetrating focus. Meditation and affirmative prayer are good outlets for this energy. The deep feelings that are stirred up by this Moon can be quite intense. Generally it is not a particularly social time.
Moon in Sagittarius
After the intensity of Scorpio, this Moon is a breath of fresh air. It’s easy to tap into optimism and positive attitudes. Under the influence of Sagittarius, you might feel particularly friendly, outgoing and adventurous. Promoting ideas, physical activities (sports), spontaneity and sales all flourish now. The need to be free and independent is also a key factor.
Moon in Capricorn
The focus now is practicality, ambition and work. Much organization and restructuring can be achieved now. Tasks that require discipline and persistent focus thrive. There is a “bottom line” approach to situations. Feelings and emotions are put on the back burner as achievement and efficiency are more important.
Moon in Aquarius
The motivating force is intellectual freedom with the Moon in Aquarius. Intellect wins over emotions, and there is often a desire to be unconventional and inventive. Interacting with groups, discussing progressive concepts and exploring the intellect all work well now. Social issues also generate a great deal of interest at this time.
Moon in Pisces
Imagination and a desire to escape the pressures of the mundane world are highlighted during a Pisces Moon. It’s not a particularly good time for hard work, as the energy tends to travel along more creative and mystical lines now. Psychic work, connecting spiritually, enjoying music and creating are natural. This is a highly sensitive and impressionable time.

Imputing blockwise missing data by imprecise imputation, featuring a domain-based, variable-wise, and case-wise strategy. Furthermore, the estimation of lower and upper bounds for unconditional and conditional probabilities based on the obtained imprecise data is implemented. Additionally, two utility functions are supplied: one to check whether variables in a data set contain set-valued observations; and another to merge two already imprecisely imputed data. The method is described in a technical report by Endres, Fink and Augustin (2018, <doi:10.5282/ubm/epub.42423>).

11/7/2018
Republican Dave Yost won about 53 percent of the vote to win Ohio’s Attorney General position, defeating Democrat Steve Dettelbach.
In Athens County, Dettelbach received 64.93 percent of the vote, while Yost got 35.07 percent.
As Ohio’s 32nd Auditor, Yost’s public corruption investigations have resulted in more than 165 criminal convictions, and he’s found more than $260 million in potential taxpayer savings, according to his website.
Ohio Attorney General - Elect Dave Yost
Yost also served as the elected prosecutor for Delaware County for eight years and before that, he served on the city council and as county auditor. During his time as prosecutor, Yost won the first capital murder case in the county’s history and took down the county’s largest drug ring.
“He’s got experience as a state auditor, he was a state attorney,” Athens County Republicans Chair Pete Couladis said. “He understands both side of that so, I think he understand the job and what needs to be done and it’s always new challenges coming up. What may be an issue today may not be an issue a year from now.
During his campaign, Yost focused on his past work such as establishing a constitutional amendment to ban special interest monopolies from taking over Ohio law, his office’s role in making it a criminal penalty for public officials to knowingly use public funds for political campaigns and saving taxpayers more than $1 million as auditor.
He has also campaigned on the fact that he revealed the Columbus City Schools data scrubbing scandal and has worked to pass landmark charter school reforms to strengthen accountability and provide transparency, according to his website.
“Chances are that we will see a very typical Republican agenda which is going to be seeing minimal government, I think that’s what his office will put out, they will not overreach,” Anirudh Ruhil, a professor in Ohio University's Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Affairs, said.
With Mike DeWine being the former Attorney General, it is assumed that a similar office will be seen.
“There’s a good staff already there in the Attorney General’s office under Mike DeWine so it’s not like you’re going to bring in a whole new crew of people and I assume they will pick up where DeWine leaves off and take it from there,” Couladis said.
Although the position does not dictate many policy changes, it proves to be important and necessary.
“This position is a breeding ground for Ohio gubernatorial candidates,” OU College Republicans Political Director Cole Neuhart said.
The Yost campaign did not respond to comment.

About Me
Born and raised in Rwanda, and I am a student at Davis college Akilah Campus in Information system. I joined this IT faculty in 2017 and I am excited to graduate in 2021. I am a very enthusiastic person who likes to learn new things so as to improve on my skills. I have learnt to be a good leader through helping out my friends and other colleagues. I joined this field because it I have always wanted to do it as a career. As a student I like to get more involved in website development and networking because it challenges me into learning new software applications. My skills include leaderships, programming language and communication skills. Throughout my years of studies I have developed an app to help people upload their CVs for job seeking. This app will help job seekers to upload their CVs without knowing what the employers are looking for hence not lying about skills they don't have. I want to become a software engineer where I will be developing systems that will be helping people in their everyday life.

The Art of Blogology
Until I entered Phase 0 at Dev Bootcamp, my blogging experience was...non-existent. In fact, I hadn't done much reflective writing other than a few Facebook posts since I left college several years ago. Admittedly, I was a little resistant to the idea of blogging as it seemed to be a lot of work for not much technical gain. Do you ever look back and think, "How was I so ignorant?"
The wealth of knowledge I've accumulated in just eight weeks at DBC has been astonishing. I'm creating websites, debugging programs, and solving the world's problems with nothing more than a mouse (okay, maybe not), and it rocks. With my work history being focused mostly on the non-technical, gaining these very technical skills is a fresh pitcher of cold water thrown in my face. But as my skills on the computer improve, I have hardly left the non-technical part of brain behind. In fact, I'm finding that my "soft" skills are just as critical to my success at becoming a web developer, which certainly includes reflecting about my learning through writing (my blog).
Simply put, the act of blogging has been priceless. First, writing a blog about recent knowledge that you've gained solidifies your understanding of the subject to a much greater degree. As we all know, it is one thing to think you understand something, and another to be able to articulate that knowledge and give it to someone who has no prior experience with the topic. Writing is teaching, and teaching is learning, hence why blogging can grow all skills - even the technical ones.
Another gain to blogging is that it gives you a record of your learning experiences which you can return to for reference later on. Let's get real, DBC forces an immense amount of info into your brain, and it's impossible to retain EVERYTHING. "What was absolute positioning again? Oh yeah, I wrote a blog about that back in week 3." Or, "Hmmmm.....when should I use modules in my program? Ahh - week 6!"
But having a record of what you've learned isn't only advantageous for the material itself, but as a point of reference to see how much you've grown! There's no greater motivation than to see "the old you" through your writing. Topics you were unfamiliar with, concepts you didn't understand, and misconceptions you had provide great fuel to your fire for growth as you can see what you've accomplished over just a few weeks. After all, you don't know where you're going until you know where you're at!
I have no doubt that my confidence going into Phase 1 of DBC wouldn't be nearly as strong if I hadn't maintained a quality blog to document my journey. I definitely see the value to scribing my thoughts, and realize that there is seems to always be a method to DBC's madness :)

Wow, that is a lot of cars!
Working with large data sets is not uncommon in data analysis. When you work with (extremely) large data sets and data frames, your first task as a data analyst is to develop a clear understanding of its structure and main elements. Therefore, it is often useful to show only a small part of the entire data set.
So how to do this in R? Well, the function head()
enables you to show the first observations of a data frame. Similarly, the function tail()
prints out the last observations in your data set.
Both head()
and tail()
print a top line called the 'header', which contains the names of the different variables in your data set.
Call head()
on the mtcars
data set to have a look at the header and the first observations.
# Call head() on mtcars
# Call head() on mtcars
head(mtcars)
test_function("head", "x", incorrect_msg = "Have you correctly passed `mtcars` to the `head()` function?")
test_output_contains("head(mtcars)", incorrect_msg = "Simply print out the result of the `head()` call, no need to assign it to a new variable.")
success_msg("Wonderful! So, what do we have in this data set? For example, `hp` represents the car's horsepower; the Datsun has the lowest horse power of the 6 cars that are displayed. For a full overview of the variables' meaning, type `?mtcars` in the console and read the help page. Continue to the next exercise!");
head(mtcars)
will show the first observations of the mtcars
data frame.

Robotics PhD at Stanford University helping robots perceive through touch
My research focuses on how to enable robots to use the sense of touch to execute tasks more effectively in unstructured settings such as our homes. I develop robots and tactile sensors with the goal of facilitating perception of the environment through contacts. This includes design of robot end-effectors or sensors that can safely and quickly make contact with light objects, to algorithms that are able to integrate sensor information through time to make sense of the environment with the goal of grasping and exploration in clutter.
I am part of the Biomimetric and Dexterous Manipulation Lab, advised by Prof. Mark Cutkosky. I am also currently part of the NVIDIA Seattle Robotics Lab where I am investigating methods to transfer robot skills learned in simulation to the real world (sim2real) by making simulator dynamics more realistic. Prior to my PhD, I was a Robotics System Engineer at Flexiv Robotics Inc. developing the mechatronics and controls of a 7 degrees-of-freedom torque-controlled robot arm for industrial task automation. I completed my undergraduate in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at UC Berkeley with a focus in mechatronics and signals and systems.

Whisker-Inspired Tactile Sensing for Contact Localization on Robot Manipulators
This work presents the design and modelling of whisker-inspired sensors that attach to the surface of a robot manipulator to sense its surrounding through light contacts. We obtain a sensor model using a calibration process that applies to straight and curved whiskers. We then propose a sensing algorithm using Bayesian filtering to localize contact points. The algorithm combines the accurate proprioceptive sensing of the robot and sensor readings from the deflections of the whiskers. Our results show that our algorithm is able to track contact points with sub-millimeter accuracy, outperforming a baseline method. Finally, we demonstrate our sensor and perception method in a real-world system where a robot moves in between free-standing objects and uses the whisker sensors to track contacts tracing object contours.
Exploratory Hand: Leveraging Safe Contact to Facilitate Manipulation in Cluttered Spaces
We present a new gripper and exploration approach that uses an exploratory finger with very low reflected inertia for probing and grasping objects quickly and safely in unstructured environments. Equipped with sensing and force control, the gripper allows a robot to leverage contact information to accurately estimate object location through a particle filtering algorithm and also grasp objects with location uncertainty based on a contact-first approach. This publication is still under review so it is not yet available.
A Stretchable Tactile Sleeve for Reaching into Cluttered Spaces
A highly conformable stretchable sensory skin made entirely of soft components. The skin uses pneumatic taxels and stretchable channels to conduct pressure signals to off-board MEMs pressure sensors. The skin is able to resolve forces down to 0.01N and responds to vibrations up to 200 Hz. We apply the skin to a 2 degree-of-freedom robotic wrist with intersecting axes for manipulation in constrained spaces, and show that it has sufficient sensitivity and bandwidth to detect the onset of sliding as the robot contacts objects. We demonstrate the skin in object acquisition tasks in a tightly constrained environment for which extraneous contacts are unavoidable.

Cape Coast showed us love - Dede Ayew
by Afedzi Abdullah, GNA
Cape Coast, Nov. 15, GNA - The Captain of the Ghana Black Stars, Andre Dede Ayew has commended fans of Cape Coast for the support and unflinching love shown to them in the 2-0 win over South Africa in the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier on Thursday.
"We are grateful to all the people in Cape Coast and the fans that came to the stadium. The stadium was packed and they cheered us. The reception was great here and we really felt loved and at home, that's what this show mean to us," the Swansea City forward stated.
"One thing I can say is, we would come back and play in Cape Coast again. We cannot say when but we are sure we would comeback. Ghana is a big country and we have lots of big stadiums so we have to share the love to the other cities,” he added.
The Black Stars got off their 2021 AFCON qualifying campaign on a bright note after recording a comfortable 2-0 victory over the Bafana Bafana at the Cape Coast Sports Stadium.
The Stars though started off the game slowly, came in strongly and enjoyed most of the possession with Atletico Madrid mieldfieder, Thomas Partey opening the scoring with a speculative long range in the 35th minute.
Substitute Kudus Mohammed wrapped up Ghana’s victory in the 80th minutes with a brillant solo effort.
The love, support and passion of Ghanaians for the Black Stars woefully dwindled after the Anas number 12 expose in 2018.
The new Ghana Football Association (GFA) headed by Mr Kurt Okraku has initiated a campaign dubbed #BringBackTheLove campaign aimed at igniting passion and galvanising support for the Black Stars and other national teams.

Album reviews: Chris Kamara, Tindersticks, Fall Out Boy and Graham Coxon
Chris Kamara
Here's to Christmas
WHEN I heard that Kammy was hot on the heels of a certain Mr Christmas (aka Buble) I was sceptical. In fact I may even have uttered "Unbelievable, Jeff!"
Put away your ideas of tacky, comedy and general seasonal tack. Pick up your lounge suit, Rat Pack longings and chilled out vibes. Chris Kamara has delivered a smooth, big band swing album that is pure class – and sounds, just like Kammy! And it works.
You will fight singing along to the classics Winter Wonderland, It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas, Frosty The Snowman and (the one track I was rather sceptical about) Santa Baby – I had no reason to be, it was just sublime.
The one down point? It's over far too soon! Lay down your misgivings and pick up your mulled wine and listen to the Christmas album you never knew you needed.

Tindersticks
No Treasure But Hope
THREE years after their last studio album, Tindersticks return with a fine addition to their legacy. All the classic Tindersticks elements are present and correct, led by Stuart Staples' rumbling baritone, deeper than a politician's lies, with delicate piano, strings and brass filling out the sound.
It's not exactly party music, more an accompaniment to drinking whisky after midnight in a second-hand suit while the rain lashes against the window.
You could argue Tindersticks haven't changed much since they emerged in Nottingham at the dawn of the 90s, but I don't want to hear their new drill direction, or their Jazz Odyssey. This is timeless music, not nostalgia, with Take Care In Your Dreams and the title track up there with their best.
See My Girls seems to reference missing family while on tour, while the poignant The Old Man's Gait reflects on a son's relationship with his father.

Matthew George
Fall Out Boy
Believers Never Die Volume 2
A SEQUEL to their 2009 hits compilation, Believers Never Die Part 2 spans the band's work following their hiatus and return to music in 2012.
The 13-track compilation shows the band's growth that proudly displays the wide-ranging talents of this once pigeonholed group. Opening strongly with My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark, Patrick Stump's passionate vocals set the tone for an enjoyable and well-crafted album.
The track Young Volcanoes, taken from the 2013 album Save Rock And Roll, merges pop and rock with bouncy guitar in a perfect demonstration of Fall Out Boy's range.
These highlights are accompanied by two recently released singles and a third new single, Bob Dylan. While I've Been Waiting has a peppy mainstream feel, the second single Dear Future Self feels blander than its counterpart.
However, Bob Dylan certainly makes up for the loss as a smooth end to the talent-filled album which is a perfect introduction for new fans with its carefully selected highlights.

The End of The F***ing World 2: Original songs and score
CHANNEL 4's berserk and brilliant dark comedy drama The End Of The F***ing World is back for a second season – as is former Blur guitarist turned solo artist Graham Coxon to soundtrack teen runaways James and Alyssa's misadventures.
The paranoiac She Knows was unveiled ahead of the series landing on All4, while Coxon also hauntingly covered Billy Idol's White Wedding for the trailer (though it is sadly not included here).
The use of music in the show is striking, almost Tarantino-esque, though much of Coxon's score consists of haunting backdrops while music supervisor Matt Biffa does a lot of the heavy lifting with his incongruous, ingenious selections for key scenes: highlights include Fairport Convention's Who Knows Where The Time Goes and Chills And Fever by Jet Harris.
Coxon gets in on that act with the bizarre, folky Mash Potato in episode three and plays his part in a wonderful show, though the major contributions come from elsewhere.

Climate protests kick off in smoke-covered Sydney
SYDNEY: Protesters in smoke-covered Sydney kicked off a fresh round of global protests against climate change on Friday (Nov 29), with activists and schoolchildren picketing the headquarters of bushfire-ravaged Australia's ruling party.
Hundreds of people gathered at the conservative Liberal party's offices to heed the call to action from 16-year-old climate change campaigner Greta Thunberg.
The protests have taken on extra urgency in Australia - the country's southeast has been devastated by hundreds of damaging bushfires in recent weeks.
The protesters - brandishing placards that read "You're burning our future" and chanting "we will rise" - turned out as Sydney was again enveloped in toxic smoke caused by the fires that has blanketed the city for much of the last month.

Six people have died and hundreds of homes have been destroyed in the crisis, which scientists say has been worsened by rising temperatures.
Drought and unseasonably hot, dry and windy conditions have fuelled the unprecedented blazes.
The target of the protesters' ire was Prime Minister Scott Morrison, who has angrily denied any link between the fires and climate change while defending his support for fossil fuels.
"Our government's inaction on the climate crisis has supercharged bushfires," said school strike leader Shiann Broderick. "People are hurting. Communities like ours are being devastated. Summer hasn't even begun."
Australia, with a population of 25 million, has low carbon emissions compared with the planet's biggest polluters, but is one of the world's leading coal exporters.
"The suggestion that (in) any way shape or form that Australia, accountable for 1.3 per cent of the world's emissions, that the individual actions of Australia are impacting directly on specific fire events, whether it's here or anywhere else in the world, that doesn't bear up to credible scientific evidence," Morrison claimed earlier this month.

MISSED TARGETS
Protests are expected later in the day in Melbourne, Brisbane and in cities across the world.
Last month, millions of people took to the streets in nearly every major global city for a series of "climate strikes".
The latest demonstrations come as 200 nations prepare to gather in Madrid next week for a 12-day UN climate conference.

The meeting will focus largely on finalising the "rulebook" for the 2015 Paris climate treaty, which becomes operational in 2021.
Scientists have warned that efforts to cap warming to 1.5 Celsius are failing, and that carbon emissions - which are on the rise - would need to fall 7.6 per cent a year to meet the target.
The UN has reported that greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere, the main driver of climate change, hit a record high last year.
The organisation has also warned that global temperatures are on pace to rise almost four Celsius by the end of the century - an increase that could make some places virtually inhabitable.


primesieve
A compact (bitfield) prime sieve in JavaScript together with all the functions to use it
Author(s)
Christoph Zurnieden<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Installation
$ git clone https://github.com/czurnieden/primesieve.git
$ cd primesieve
$ npm install -g
There is also a Unix (or newer Macs) dependent CLI version in ./bin
which
gets not installed by default, yet and might be behind the current version.
Version
0.2.0 Added prime factoring and testing up to 253 and JDOC-3
documentation
0.1.0 Corrected error in fallback to normal Array
0.0.3 Corrected error in GIT url
0.0.2 Additional function to get the raw prime sieve.
0.0.1 Initial publication
Description
This library implements a prime sieve with a bitfield in an UInt32Array
(or a
normal Array
if UInt32Array
is not available). That means that the memory
used is about the size of the biggest prime evaluated. E.g.: if the highest
prime evaluated is 7927
the memory used is about ceil(7927/32)*8 = 1984
bytes large.
That is only an approximation because ECMAScript offers no direct memory control.
The largest prime available would be at least<PHONE_NUMBER>
on a 32-bit systems
and a wee bit more on 64-bit systems but no guarantee for the latter.
Please be aware that that sieve would be 2 gigabytes large.
Further optimizations can be done by ignoring all even numbers (except the even primes), maybe all multiples of 3, too. If you need such large sieves regularly and in JavaScript: feel free to ask the author.
Usage
The usage is like with any other node/browser module:
var sieve = require('primesieve');
var array_of_first_five_primes = sieve.primes(5);
Documentation
The documentation is in the doc
directory now, autogenerated by JSDOC version
3.
Example
With node.js
var p = require('primesieve');
function primorial(n,result){
var primes, ret, primepi;
// checks of arguments omitted for brevity
primepi = p.primePi(n);
if(typeof primepi === 'undefined'){
return p.strerror();
}
primes = p.primes(primepi);
if(typeof primes === 'undefined'){
return p.strerror();
}
ret = 1;
for(var i = 0; i < primepi; i++){
ret *= primes[i];
}
result[0] = ret;
return p.strerror();
}
With a browser (tested in Firefox 33.0.0)
// the module must be included somewhere or just put on top
var p = primesieve;
function primorial(n,result){
var primes, ret, primepi;
// checks of arguments omitted for brevity
primepi = p.primePi(n);
if(typeof primepi === 'undefined'){
return p.strerror();
}
primes = p.primes(primepi);
if(typeof primes === 'undefined'){
return p.strerror();
}
ret = 1;
for(var i = 0; i < primepi; i++){
ret *= primes[i];
}
result[0] = ret;
return p.strerror();
}
In a much simpler but frowned upon way:
var primorial = eval(p.primes(8).join("*"));
Yes, eval
is not the devil; it has its uses, although not here.
Test
A test with a vows
script is implemented. Please run if vows
is installed:
npm test
Or, if that doesn't work:
node primesieve-test.js
If it still doesn't work with an error raised for not finding vows
despite being installed--install vows
again, this time locally, that is, without the -g
option. The npm packet manager is a bit peculiar in this regard.

Marc Marquez's brother Alex on Honda's MotoGP 2020 contender list
by Oriol Puigdemont and Valentin KhorounzhiyMarc Marquez's Moto2 champion brother Alex is among the contenders for a 2020 Honda MotoGP ride after Jorge Lorenzo's retirement.
The younger Marquez had already agreed a deal to continue with Marc VDS to defend his Moto2 title, while being linked to a 2021 MotoGP chance with Pramac Ducati.
Lorenzo's decision to retire at the end of the current campaign leaves Honda with a seat to fill in its factory team at short notice for 2020, with the roster of candidates limited by MotoGP's two-year contract cycle.
Johann Zarco, who has been impressing as Takaaki Nakagami's stand-in on the LCR-run satellite Honda, is viewed as the obvious choice, but the works team's boss Alberto Puig acknowledged that Alex Marquez would also "of course" be considered.
"Zarco and Alex are on the list, but there are others," Puig said, insisting Honda still had no clear vision of how it would proceed.
Marc Marquez reckoned it was a no-brainer that his brother would be under consideration for the ride given his run to the Moto2 title this year.
- Assessing Alex Marquez
- More than just a 'brother of...'?
"It's clear that with Jorge's retirement there's a free bike, an important bike, the factory HRC [Honda Racing Corporation]," Marquez said.
"The news has taken everyone by surprise, including Honda.
"Now we have to see what strategy they want, whether they want a rider with more experience or to give the opportunity to some promising young rider.
"And it's logical that among the latter is the Moto2 world champion. It's no secret.
"After he won the Moto2 world title, I personally think he's ready for anything. So it's a personal decision for him and a decision for Honda."
While he has been a staunch supporter of his brother, the elder Marquez insists he does not want to influence Honda's decision in any way.
"I have never denied that my dream was to compete with or against my brother in MotoGP, and he is working in the best possible way in Moto2 to achieve that, going through the medium category, being champion and earning his place in MotoGP," Marquez said.
"It's obvious that I'm not going to force the situation on either side but I'm very proud that my brother is on the list of candidates, because if HRC is interested in you, you need to take advantage of it 100%."
- Farewell to Lorenzo
- From unsettling Rossi to the pain of 2019
Puig acknowledged on Thursday that it would be "difficult" to decide on a Lorenzo replacement in time for the two-day post-season test at Valencia next week.
"It will not be chaos if we have [just] one rider there - but in any case probably Stefan [Bradl, test rider] will join us in the test," he said.

Robot Arm H25¶
This example program makes the robot (Figure 18) move the black wheel hub stacks around forever. The robot arm will first initialize and then start moving the hubs around.

Hi, nice to meet you!
I'm Joan a UX/UI Designer in Singapore.I enjoy collaborating with people from different
background, and solving complex problems together.
Before this I was a software engineer in a healthcare project, where I worked on
backend programming, developing and fixing reported problems/bugs of the system.
I spoke to my users on several occasions. Only after communicating with the users did
I realise that instead of allowing ease of use, the complex design of the system actually
did the very opposite – it hindered my users into committing more human errors, causing
potential risks to the patients’ safety.
Thus hatched my desire to learn how to design
better interface to create meaningful and better experiences for my users.


 But I’m an optimist and a firm believer in Sturgeon’s Law so by that logic there must be some good on it. That good is academic twitter.
While this isn’t a post advocating for academic Twitter, I did want to
1. see if I could figure out how to write a post with some R code in it and
2. share how I scraped Twitter to find active users in the Musicology and Music Theory community
So here it goes…
The first thing that you have to do is get some tweets. Luckily some packages exist in the #rstats world that can help with this. For this project I used the twitteR package which lets you log into Twitter’s API via R and and search it. There are already some instructions on how to get started with it that you can find here, so I won’t go into tons of detail about setting it up. (Also please note you can’t just copy and paste my code verbatim since it requires credentials from your own Twitter account)
Let’s first load the two packages we’ll need.
library(data.table)
library(twitteR)
Next up, we need to access Twitter’s API by entering in the details from the link above. I find it’s easiest to copy and paste each of my keys and tokens into a nice little character string, assign those to an object, then call those objects in the last command in this block.
consumer_key <- 'YOUR CONSUMER KEY HERE'
consumer_secret <- 'COPY AND PASTE YOUR CONSUMER SECRET HERE'
access_token <- 'THEN PUT YOUR ACCESS TOKEN HERE'
access_secret <- 'AND YOUR ACCESS SECRET HERE'
setup_twitter_oauth(consumer_key, consumer_secret, access_token=NULL, access_secret=NULL)
Running that last line in the chunk should then direct you to your default browser. This will log you into your Twitter account and R will ask for Twitter’s permission to enter through the back door.
The next bit of code won’t run the way I have it set up because Twitter doesn’t let you download tweets older than a week old. So if you want to play with tweets from a conference’s hashtag or some event, make sure to think ahead to download them!!
amsTwitter <- searchTwitter("#smt2017", n = 700)
amsTwitter <- searchTwitter("#amsroc17", n = 1600)
This line above searches Twitter for anything matching the conference hashtags and saves the output of it in a list. You can also include an argument asking for a certain number of tweets, which I’ve also done. Luckily the twitteR package has a function that will take this list and convert it to a data frame.
amsTwitter.df <- twListToDF(amsTwitter)
smtTwitter.df <- twListToDF(smtTwitter)
With these nice data frames, we’ll soon be able to join them together and count up some tweets! In order to do this we can take advantage of the data.table package to join our two tables together. Of course there are other ways, but Ben over at Gorm Analytics sold me on data.table this past summer and since then I have really been loving its easy syntax.
amsTwitter.dt <- data.table(amsTwitter.df)
smtTwitter.dt <- data.table(smtTwitter.df)
amstweets <- amsTwitter.dt[, .(amsTweets = .N), by=screenName][order(-amsTweets)]
smttweets <- smtTwitter.dt[, .(smtTweets = .N), by=screenName][order(-smtTweets)]
totalTweets <- merge(smttweets,amstweets, on ="screenName", all = TRUE)
The first thing the above code does is swap our data frames over to data.tables. Once they are in the data.table format, we can count up the tweets by screen name, then list them from biggest to smallest all in the same line. From there we merge the two together via the shared column, making sure to grab every instance in each table since not every Tweeter tweeted with both hashtags.
We then need to clean up some of the NAs (which as a data.table are characters!) in our bigger dataset with R’s ifelse() function that basically works exactly like an ifelse statement would in Microsoft Excel. It looks over a column in your dataset, checks if a value is an NA, if it is then it gives it a 0, if not, it puts in the value that was there in the first place. After replacing NAs, I then make a new variable that adds together both columns then run our final line that prints out our final dataset from top to bottom.
totalTweets$smtTweets <- ifelse(test = is.na(totalTweets$smtTweets),
yes = 0,
no = totalTweets$smtTweets)
totalTweets$amsTweets <- ifelse(test = is.na(totalTweets$amsTweets),
yes = 0,
no = totalTweets$amsTweets)
totalTweets[, TotalTweets := smtTweets + amsTweets]
totalTweets[order(-TotalTweets)]
From here it was simply a matter of using an online converter to turn it our final table an html file and then ssh it up to our Music Cognition at LSU server! Since then I’ve also added both the 2017 AMS and SMT datasets that I used to generate the counts in case you want to try this for yourself.

The setup is Goldenarms used some language I’m not super fond of, then Clay popped in and called me Watson. Cat’s always around dropping sillyness. So, I had to crush this thing. It’s all contained in PALnet discord Battle-Rap room.

I know this is awkward but bet that you cope, Yo ma’ left my bed; to wash ur mouth out with soap.

You know I am cranky yo’ vocab is fillable, I’m waiting for rhymes with more than 2 syllable.

I’m sad to see you’ve developed electra, I’d stoop down to help but I’m droppin’ my lectcha.
I just finished reading the Scaredy Cat Guide, and finished my Thesis: It’s built on 9 lies.
Class write this down, it’s number nine. His lyrics hit nothin’ even given all time!
He thought that he killed me and I was in trouble, but it was all no sweat, just my b-double.
I know that you’re curious here’s number 8. His ego is broken; sad it deflate.
But even I’m bored so let’s not go through this, I brought my mix tap let’s listen to music.

Clay heard phat beats and had to lay down, some b-boy windmills in my dance town!

Dante is here and brought rev as a chum, Dante took mic and reverend the drum,
Sammo and Stella testin new lines; Everyone’s happy they worked every time;
This place it be kickin’ and it’s a phat party, but I am not Watson; I’m Moriarty!
Just as Cat says that he’s “as good or more so.” I’m touching this button and quantized his torso!
Just as Clay’s dancing like life’s a cool breeze; Took two to the chest; with Bob Ross paintin’ trees!

I’m starting to cackle cause I’ve gone insane, murder and violence and causing new pain!
I know what is coming so I strode outside; it’s only be cause I like being alive…
Y’all got too greedy and clearly were thirsty; this building I blasted like I was Cerci.
Last but not least I’m stealing yo’ raps…
…
…
…
…
Cats.
