One day, I got a call from a friend of mine. He told me that a patch of 'super-acid' is available, and cost is an avarage 10e/blotter. Well, whatta hell, I thought, it has been quite long since last trip, and this really sounded spectacular. I picked a duty-free day for tripping.
The day arrived, and I remember the sunshine. I soaked the blotter in some juice, and drank it while smoking a tobacco. After 30 minutes doorbell ringed, and I opened it for a blummer to come and fix some pipes in our kitchen. After the blummer had left, I analyzed my feelings. Nothing spectacular yet, Absolute different feeling than those in acid, much more mellow, much more stabile. Little did I know, underestimating this psychedelic is something nobody should do.
Now my friend arrived, and I gave his blotter for him. We fixed a full-bowl of nice flower-indica. It gave a nice buzz on the top of this slowly evolving psychedelic trip. I started to mes around with my studio-equipment, making some utter psychedelic trance. Time stopped and I can remember the feeling of huge euphoria - but still, nothing really mind-blowing and psychedelic in sight.
After making music for several hours and smoking one more bowl of marijuana, I gave up - I was sure that there was nothing more to expect, and all I was going to get was this extacy-like euphoria. Little did I know, after my friend left and I got to be alone, the things started to take some very wierd turns. At one point I could not lie down, focus on anything particular. Surrounding world toke the shape of a 'wallpaper'. There were no depth. Everything I saw, was like flat paper texture. This freaked me out, since I couldn`t control it at all, I went outside.
It was magical to wander around a tiny forest. I felt so... well, lost, in a way. There were absolutely nothing that made sense in that state of mind. Any action I toke, was based only on instincts. I didn't scare at this sensation I felt, actually - I like the feeling of losing the control. Times passed on, and the darker side of this substance started to kick in. Strongest mindfuck I have ever felt in my life.
It was oddishly that I did sleep. In fact, I could`nt recall any dreams, nothing at all. Still, after woking up, I could tell, everything is not like its supposed to be. This following day was so heavy and hollow. It was like id lost my interest for just being here, there - anywhere, like I`d lost purpose of anything. That evening, I visited my friend and told that I'm really messed up. Nothing gave me any kind of inspiration. I can recall that I still knew that this is only a result of substances draining my serotonin receptors.
At first this was fun, fun and fun - in the end, it was quite a hard and hollow, even a little scary experiment. It toke 3 days to recover fully from that twisted state.

UPDATE: A few additions at the end. I was pretty surprised (and so was my WP server) that that this made HN front-page. Also - hello, Cloudflare!
When ordering an Uber ride, I (obviously) have to enter my pickup location.
Can I please also enter the intended dropoff location? Maybe like this:
Or, maybe even better: let me enter it after the pick-up has been confirmed, while waiting for the driver. And, while we're at it: let me also pick a preferred route, if I want to.
Why? Because that way, the driver will already have directions pre-loaded in their GPS when they pick me up. Makes is easier for both of us, and the whole experience becomes even smoother.
And, it will prevent this from happening again:
That was earlier this year. Here's what happend: the Uber app, which uses Google Maps, was able to find my destination address - I know this because I requested a fare quote. However, the driver used a different GPS for navigation, which did not find it. And the driver was unfamiliar with the neighborhood (and so was I).
This could have been avoided if the driver's GPS would have been pre-loaded with directions.
By the way - why do drivers have to use the Uber driver app and a separate navigation device anyways? Add navigation capabilities to the app, and the drivers can ditch their GPS devices. And will also be less distracted while driving.
Sounds good? Great, let me know when it's done. Oh, and thanks for the free black car upgrade yesterday. Keep up the good work!

St. Elmo's Fire * * (out of * * * * )
Directed by Joel Schumacher. Cast: Andrew McCarthy, Ally Sheedy, Judd Nelson, Mare Winningham, Rob Lowe, Emilio Estevez, Demi Moore, Andie McDowell, Martin Balsam, Jenny Wright, Joyce Van Patten, Jon Cutler, Blake Clark, Anna Maria Horsford, Martin Laurance. 1985 - 110 minutes. Rated R (for profanity and sexual situations). Reviewed November 1, 1998.
"St. Elmo's Fire" has often been compared to as a cross between, "The Breakfast Club," and, "The Big Chill," but there is one noticably large difference. While those two films were about relatively mature, intelligent people, "St. Elmo's Fire," features seven characters that are, for the most part, obnoxious and bratty. I guess that's why the cast of this movie was routinely labeled, "The Brat Pack."
As already noted, "St. Elmo's Fire," follows seven close friends in Georgetown, following graduation from college. Alec (Judd Nelson), who has become an assistant of a senator, desperately wants to marry his live-in girlfriend, Leslie (All Sheedy), even though he can't help but constantly cheat on her. Kevin (Andrew McCarthy), a cynical, chain-smoking writer, is totally against love, and secretly holds a secret affection for a certain someone. Wendy (Mare Winningham), the virgin of the group, still lives with her overbearing parents, and against the wishes of her parents, loves Billy (Rob Lowe), a rebellious guy who is already married and has a child. Jules (Demi Moore) is the wild one, a secretary who says she is sleeping with her boss, and starts to have a cocaine problem. And Kirby (Emilio Estevez) holds an almost obsessive love for a slightly older pre-med student (Andie McDowell).
"St. Elmo's Fire," is one of those coming-of-age movies, where the characters are simply trying to come to terms with growing up, but it is far from being one of the better films in that genre. The main problem with the film is that the screenplay, by Joel Schumacher and Carl Kurlander, is very dumbed-down. Aside from maybe Mare Winningham and Emilio Estevez, the other five main characters are so annoying and self-involved that serious things occur in certain scenes, and yet the characters still remain only concerned with themselves.
Far more successful are some of the supporting characters, who are so much more smartly written that I longed for the film to have the secondary people switch places with the main characters. By far, the most successful subplot involves Estevez's deep love for Andie MacDowell, who gives the film's best, most natural performance. Their penultimate sequence together, set at a snowy cabin, is so full of magic, excitement, and spontaneity that it just goes to show how misguided the rest of the film really is. Also interesting in a supporting role is Anna Maria Horsford, as a prostitute who meets McCarthy. The film could have really made something of those few scenes involving them together, but it fails to do anything with it.
Other subplots are either ill-advised, anti-climactic, or both. For example, the whole story involving the love triangle between Nelson, Sheedy, and McCarthy is beyond juvenile. And the film sets up Moore's drug problem, but it is never dealt with, and nothing is ever really solved or discussed.
"St.  Something could have certainly been done with this material, but again, the characters and situations are written at what seems to be a grade-school level, and therefore, everything collapses under its own weight.

Facing New Challenges Together
June 2016
Over the past year, my first serving you as General Manager, we've seen some incredible changes, both in our community and the water industry. The much-anticipated El Niño generated excitement and some fuller reservoirs in Northern California, but did not end our historic drought. The costs to provide water throughout the state are increasing dramatically, as strict new environmental requirements and water quality standards create the need for new infrastructure and treatment. The importance of water to our lifestyle and economy has never been clearer.
Tackling these challenges together with you, our customers, is more important than ever. You have answered the call, achieving unprecedented levels of conservation, and making meaningful changes to the way you use precious water resources. Driving around Palm Springs and Cathedral City, I've noticed more and more desert landscaping. I am proud that this is due in part to our turf buy back grant program. We hope that this program and others like it have a snowball effect. Offering information and rebates to help save water is one important way we will continue to serve customers.
While conservation is always a focus, it is only part of what we do here at Desert Water. Our most important job is to serve you high-quality water that you can depend on every time you turn on the tap. Our team is on call around the clock, seven days a week to ensure the safety and reliability of your supply.
We are tasked with maintaining a system that has little room for error. While our agency and our customers have made investments in the right infrastructure for our region, many of our pipelines are older than the average Palm Springs resident.
Fixing and replacing older pipelines and operating in a highly regulated state, all at a time when we are selling less water, creates financial challenges, but it is essential to the long-term viability of Desert Water. While we operate and maintain this system, it belongs to you, our customer. Continuing to invest in it will help ensure that we leave the next generation with the same opportunity to thrive.
Serving as stewards of your local supply is also essential to protecting this opportunity. The Coachella Valley has been blessed to overlie an aquifer filled with healthy water that requires only a touch of chlorine before delivery. Our aquifer has not seen declines in the face of the severe drought, thanks to groundwater replenishment efforts that protect the health of our groundwater basin and help secure your future supply. Imported water plays a key role in our system now, and will for years to come.
As we head into the future, we will work to balance the needs of our community and protect our most precious resource. We encourage you to engage with us at our bimonthly public meetings, on social media, by phone or even at our offices.
Hearing what matters to our community helps us serve you better. It is our privilege to provide you this service.
Mark S. Krause
General Manager and Chief Engineer
Desert Water Agency Year at a Glance
Your Water Quality
Desert Water Agency is committed to serving healthy, safe drinking water and to keeping you informed about the quality of the water that is delivered to your tap. Our dedicated staff samples water daily to ensure that it meets all standards. As drought conditions in California continue to affect water supply, it is important for us to support our customers and work together to protect this precious local resource.
By explaining the sources of our water and defining the constituents in the water, this report is our way of providing clear, transparent information to our customers. To make going through our report easier for customers, we've included informational videos; we hope that you enjoy them. The board and staff of DWA take their responsibility to provide high-quality water very seriously and we're proud to report that our water meets and beats the strictest standards in the nation. If you have any questions when reviewing this report, please contact Beth Amheiser, laboratory director, at<PHONE_NUMBER> ext. 169.
Our Water Supply
Desert Water Agency
Established in 1961, Desert Water Agency (DWA) is a public nonprofit agency and State Water Contractor serving residents and visitors in a 325-square-mile area that includes parts of Cathedral City, Palm Springs, and Desert Hot Springs, as well as some unincorporated areas of Riverside County. The Agency's responsibility is to provide a safe, reliable water supply to its service area while protecting its interests in the State Water Project. DWA's ratepayers are represented by a five-member elected board, which makes policy decisions on their behalf.
Water Sources
Water is a precious and limited resource; only about .007 percent of the water found on Earth is readily accessible to treat for drinking.
Desert Water Agency's groundwater comes from the Whitewater River Sub basin of the Coachella Valley Groundwater Basin, a natural reservoir storing water beneath the valley floor. Mountain streams also bring water by way of Chino Creek, Falls Creek and Snow Creek. Surface sources are operated under criteria for avoiding filtration.
Natural groundwater replenishment is supplemented with Colorado River water, which is imported through the Colorado River Aqueduct and percolated into the groundwater basin via recharge ponds near Windy Point and in Mission Creek.
Water Quality Monitoring
Unless otherwise noted, data presented in this report was obtained between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2015. Water quality monitoring was performed in accordance with regulations established by the State Water Resources Control Board and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
In some cases, the State Water Resources Control Board allows DWA to test for certain contaminants less than once a year, because the Agency's system is not susceptible to these contaminants, or because the levels recorded are expected to vary little from year to year.
Water Source Information
The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.
Source Water Assessment
A Source Water Assessment Plan (SWAP), last updated in October 2007, is available at our office. This plan is an assessment of the delineated area around our listed sources through which contaminants, if present, could migrate and reach our source water. It also includes an inventory of potential sources of contamination within the delineated area and a determination of the water supply's susceptibility to contamination by the identified potential sources.
These sources are considered vulnerable to activities normally associated with residential, commercial and industrial development. However, all water provided by Desert Water Agency meets all U.S. EPA and State Board guidelines. To review the SWAP, please contact our office during regular business hours.

please call Beth Amheiser, laboratory director, at<PHONE_NUMBER> ext. 169.
Chromium-6: What you need to know
Desert Water Agency is continually monitoring our water system, performing thousands of tests per year to make sure the drinking water we deliver to customers meets or exceeds all public health standards.
One of the things we test for is chromium-6, also known as hexavalent chromium, a mineral that occurs naturally in the Coachella Valley's groundwater. In 2014, California became the first and only state in the nation to set a drinking water standard for chromium-6.
DWA is fortunate because its water supplies are below the state standard of 10 parts per billion. Any chromium-6 that is present in untreated water is diluted when Colorado River imports are blended with groundwater in our portion of the Coachella Valley Groundwater Basin. Because the success of our groundwater recharge program means our water already complies with this new state regulation, DWA is one of the only water providers in the region that will not have to perform additional treatment or build costly new facilities.
The state continues to monitor possible long-term health risks of chromium-6. However, there is no immediate health threat, even in areas with levels of the mineral above the state's maximum contaminant level. DWA will continue to prioritize water quality, to ensure that families and businesses in the communities we serve have access to a safe and reliable water supply.
Did you know?
Desert Water Agency tests its water for constituents in concentrations as small as one part per billion, meaning one part of a substance in one billion molecules of water.
That's equivalent to:
Since the 1980s, DWA has committed to sustainability.
Today, those practices include:
These commitments are beneficial to the ratepayer as well as the environment, protecting resources while helping to keep rates as low as possible.
Investing to Prevent Leaks
Desert Water has some pipelines that have been in place since the Great Depression, and the overwhelming majority of pipelines were installed before the Berlin Wall came down. Times have changed – and our system needs to as well. Many of the older pipelines are smaller in diameter than is ideal, and they are made of materials that aren't as durable as what is installed today.
Our team has determined that the older, unlined steel pipes are responsible for more than 90 percent of leaks in our system. This is a staggering figure, particularly given that unlined steel pipes make up only 20 percent of our system. In 2015 alone, about 10.9 million gallons were lost to system leaks. Our Board of Directors and staff have committed to a proactive replacement program that will target the unlined steel pipelines, reducing leak frequency, water loss, and the staffing costs that result from emergency repairs.
Replacing more than a mile of pipeline every year is going to cost about $4 million annually, but these pipelines will need to be replaced regardless of planning. Emergency replacements can cost five times more than planned work. By taking this proactive approach to system maintenance, DWA will save customers money over the long term.
As a not-for-profit government agency, DWA can only charge what it costs to provide service. A rate study is now underway to determine current costs and evaluate whether rate changes are necessary. The pipeline replacement program is just one factor that is being weighed as the Board of Directors evaluates potential water rate changes. You will receive a notification by mail and have an opportunity to provide input before any changes are made to the rates.
Common Questions on Water Quality
Why does tap water sometimes smell funny?
When your water tastes or smells funny, the problem may or may not be in the water. Odors might actually be coming from your sink drain, where bacteria grow on hair, soap, food, and other things that get trapped. Odorous gases get stirred up when water pours into the drain. Odor can also come from bacteria growing on devices such as water heaters.
Why does tap water have a faint chlorine smell?
A small amount of chlorine is added to meet drinking water regulations. It is a disinfectant that is used to provide continuous protection against possible microbial contamination. Regulations limit the amount of chlorine added to tap water so that the water is safe to drink.
TIP An easy way to reduce the chlorine smell is to let water sit in a glass for a few minutes. Then, put the water in a covered container and chill in the refrigerator. Cold water tastes and smells better than water at room temperature.
Why does my water have a rotten egg or sulfur smell?
This smell can occur under some conditions when sulfate is present in the water supply. Improperly maintained water heaters or lack of water circulation within a residence during warmer months are circumstances that may contribute to this odor.
FACT If the odor is only present in hot water, then the odor may be a result of sulfur-reducing bacteria growing in the water heater tank and increasing the water heater'ss temperature.
Why does my water look cloudy?
Occasionally, tiny air bubbles in tap water cause a cloudy appearance. Air dissolves into water when pressurized, which occurs in the groundwater basin and in the water pipes that deliver water to your tap. These bubbles dissipate after a few moments in a glass.
Do I need a softener?
No. Desert Water Agency tap water meets all drinking water standards and does not need to be conditioned or filtered. DWA does not prohibit the use of water softeners, but Agency ordinance does prohibit the discharge of excess salt down the drain. Discharged salt can harm the groundwater and may require additional treatment, which would increase the future costs of providing sewer and water services.
Together We Save
In 2015: A Big Year For Conservation at DWA
Despite forecasts for a wet winter, California is still facing drought conditions. As a whole, the state fell just short of Governor Brown's 25-percent conservation target. Desert Water Agency customers saved 26.5 precent compared to 2013. Due to climate conditions and the continued need to save, the State Water Board extended the restrictions through January 2017. Desert Water Agency expects to have its new conservation standard by the end of June 2016.
Desert Water Agency plans to work with customers to achieve the state's conservation mandate. Our team is already recycling every drop of wastewater we receive, replenishing the aquifer with available imports, and offering rebates to support our customers.
TIPS For Big Savings
Install a SMART IRRIGATION controller to cut water use by 15%.
WATER AT NIGHT and turn off sprinklers when it rains.
CHECK FOR LEAKS; fixing them can save water and money.
Go online to view our MANDATORY RESTRICTIONS.
For additional conservation tips and programs, visit www.dwa.org
THE FOLLOWING MANDATORY RESTRICTIONS ARE STILL IN EFFECT AS OF JUNE 7, 2016
Water only before 7 a.m. and after 7 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. (Saturday and Sunday allowed thorough 10/31/16)
Don't water or wash the sidewalk, driveway, or other hardscapes
Restaurants can only serve water upon request.
Hotels must give guests the option to skip daily laundry.
For the most current information, please visit www.dwa.org/restrictions
Regulatory Information
Contaminants that may be present in source water include:
In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and the State Water Resources Control Board prescribe regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Department regulations also establish limits for contaminants in bottled water that provide the same protection for public health.
Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects is available through the USEPA's Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791).
Health Information
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population.  These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers.
USEPA/Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791).
If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. Desert Water Agency is responsible for providing high-quality drinking water but cannot control the variety of materials used in your property's plumbing. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.
Sampling Results
During the past year we have taken more than 2,000 water samples in order to determine the presence of any radioactive, biological, inorganic, volatile organic, or synthetic organic contaminants. The tables below show only those contaminants that were detected in the water. The State allows us to monitor for certain substances less often than once per year because the concentrations of these substances do not change frequently. Some of our data, although representative, are more than one year old. In these cases, the most recent sample data are included, along with the year in which the sample was taken.
GLOSSARY
Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL): The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. Primary MCLs are set as close to the (PHGs or MCLGs) as is economically and technologically feasible. Secondary MCLs are set to protect the odor, taste, and appearance of drinking water.
Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG): The level of a contaminant in drinking water, below, which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLG's are set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL): The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants.
Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal (MRDLG): The level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants. MRDLGs are set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Microsiemens Per Centimeter (μS/cm): A measurement of the electrolytes in the water, which determines the ability of the water to conduct electrical current.
Micrograms Per Liter (μg/L): A measure of a contaminant in a known quantity of water. 1 μg/L equals 1 part per billion (see parts per billion).
Milligrams Per Liter (mg/L): A measure of a contaminant in a known quantity of water. 1 mg/L equals 1 part per million (see parts per million).
NA: Not applicable.
Nanograms per Liter (ng/L): A measurement of a contaminant in a known quantity of water. 1ng/L equals 1 part per trillion. (see parts per trillion).
ND: Not detected or below the detection limit for reporting.
Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTU): A measure of cloudiness due to undissolved solids in the water. We measure turbidity because it is a good indication of the effectiveness of our filtration system and/or water quality.
Notification Level (NL): Health-based advisory levels established by the State for chemicals in drinking water that lack maximum caontaminant levels (MCLs). When chemicals are found at concentrations greater than their notification levels, certain requirements and recommendations apply.
Parts Per Billion (PPB): One part per billion corresponds to one minute in 2,000 years or one penny in $10,000,000. (Ten million dollars).
Parts Per Million (PPM): One part per million corresponds to one minute in two years or one penny in $10,000. (Ten thousand dollars).
pH: An expression of the intensity of the basic or acid condition of a liquid. The pH may range from 0 to 14, where 0 is most acid, 14 most basic and 7 neutral.
PicoCuries per Liter (pCi/L): A measure of the radioactivity in the water.
Primary Drinking Water Standard (PDWS): MCLs and MRDLs for contaminants that affect health along with their monitoring and reporting requirements and water treatment requirements.
Public Health Goal (PHG): The level of a contaminant in drinking water, below, which there is no known or expected risk to health. PHGs are set by the California Environmental Protection Agency.
Regulatory Action Level (AL): The concentration of a contaminant, which if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements, such as public notification, that a water system must follow.
Locational Running Annual Average (LRAA): The average of sample analytical results for samples taken during the previous four calendar quarters.
Treatment Technique (TT): A required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water.
UCMR: Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule
Variances and Exemptions: State Board permission to exceed an MCL or not comply with a treatment technique under certain conditions.
< Means less than
: For example <0.2 means the lowest detectable levels is 0.2 and that the contaminant was less than 0.2 and therefore not detected.
> Means greater than
: For example >0.1 means any sample tested having a value greater than 0.1.

As Mobile Product Design Director, I led a team to transform our apps from static feed readers into experiences purpose-built for mobile.
I set the focus on simplicity, usability and visual elegance as we matured the products in tandem with improvements to mobile operating systems.
In 2014, I advocated for a major investment to break the downstream dependence from our desktop website.
I used this design to show how it would open up a new generation of editorial styles.
When we embarked on an iPad app redesign, we turned another feed reader with few visual templates into a stylized experience that amplified the voice and art direction of every section.
We managed to elevate the UX of the apps at the same time as we introduced a more restrictive paid subsciption model. App ratings trended upwards, and digital revenues climbed.
Readers flock to The New York Times for its curated selection of news from editors rather than algorithms. But The Times produces a firehose of great content every day, and only a small portion of it is Top News. How do you surface the remainder?
I proposed a sort of Tinder for news that would rely on a strong recommendation engine then under development.
See full concept »
When the recommendation quality couldn't support it, I suggested we pivot to a simpler solution. It made use of two basic pieces of information: an aggregate notion of the most popular stories, and which of those stories a user has seen.
The outcome was In Case You Missed It, a deduped list of trending stories.
Since leaving The Times last year, I've been working with a number of clients, including WNYC, Anchor, and Citymaps.
Anchor is an audio-sharing platform experiencing fast organic growth.
I'm helping them convert new social referrals into app downloads.
At WNYC, I'm exploring how a broadcaster can own the social relationship with its audience.
This wireframe shows an approach inspired by messaging.
Along with UX design I am passionate about family history. I've been quite active in the genealogical community, where I've worked to improve family tree visualization.
I built a genealogical repository that had some influence in the wider genealogical community, especially at Ancestry.com.
Explore repository »
For Treelines, a product concept for the genealogy market, I developed a style of visualization that married family trees and timelines.
Children (green) are nested under parents as both descendents and events in time.
As children branch out from their families of origin and start households of their own, they transition from green to pink or blue.

How to use Palsu
Palsu is an interactive meeting tool that is used to demonstrate capabilities of VIE. The idea is to create a tool for coordinating both online and real-world meetings.
For further information see also the IKS Project Wiki page
Report issues and feature requests at our issue tracker.
Adding new meetings and real-time sync
Source: palsu.me - adding a new meeting / message sync [demo 1]
In this screencast you'll see how to add a new meeting to Palsu and how the real-time sync via VIE works.
Changes to the meeting title, agenda or messages are synced in real-time across the logged-in clients/participants. Double-click to edit the meeting title and agenda. Single-click to add a chat message.
The left client is using Safari, in the middle there is one participant using Firefox and the right one is using Google Chrome.
All active/online participants in a meeting are indicated with a green square in the "Participants" sidebar on the right side.
Extract entities with Apache Stanbol and add manual annotations
Source: palsu.me - extract entities, add manual annotations [demo 2]
All chat messages are analyzed with Apache Stanbol -- found entities are added to the "Mentions" sidebar.
In this demo your Twitter contacts are added to your "contact repository". You can use them for mentions in chat messages -- select the name of a person you want to annotate, click the person button in the editor and select who you want to mention. Type some chars of the persons name or just use the arrow up/down buttons.
Note that only the last 100 contacts are displayed and the selection currently only works with "enter" (there's a bug when using a mouse-click).
To add a task to the meeting just select the subject of the task, click the clock symbol select a person like before and then the due to date.
In the task view tasks can be filtered by ownership or status. Click on a task in the sidebar or task list to change the complete status -- this is also synced in real-time accross the active clients.
Extra features
Source: palsu.me - embed media/data via oEmbed [demo 3]
If you want to embed media like images, slides, videos, wikipedia articles or tweets just paste the URL into the chat input field -- currently we're using oohembed.com as oEmbed service.

Migrating from Adldap2
Introduction
This guide will cover the largest changes that have been made during the development of LdapRecord.
Please be aware, this guide cannot cover all use-cases. You will have to adjust and change things. LdapRecord was not meant to be a drop-in replacement of Adldap2. It is a brand new project -- but keeps some similarities with the Adldap2 library.
High Impact Changes
Adldap to Container
The Adldap\Adldap
class is responsible for storing connections.
This has been replaced with the LdapRecord\Container
class:
Adldap2:
use Adldap\Adldap;
$ad = new Adldap();
$config = ['...'];
$ad->addProvider($config, $name = 'default');
LdapRecord:
use LdapRecord\Container;
$config = ['...'];
Container::addConnection($config, $name = 'default');
Providers to Connections
The Adldap\Connections\Provider
has been replaced with LdapRecord\Connection
.
Here is an example:
Important: Provider configuration has undergone minimal changes. Most options have been carried over.
Adldap2:
use Adldap\Connections\Provider;
$provider = new Provider([
'hosts' => ['<IP_ADDRESS>'],
// ...
]);
LdapRecord:
use LdapRecord\Connection;
$connection = new Connection([
'hosts' => ['<IP_ADDRESS>'],
// ...
]);
Connecting
Adldap2:
// With configured username / password:
$provider->connect();
// With dynamic username / password:
$provider->connect('cn=user,dc=local,dc=com', 'secret');
LdapRecord:
// With configured username / password:
$connection->connect();
// With dynamic username / password:
$connection->connect('cn=user,dc=local,dc=com', 'secret');
Methods
Adldap Interface Removal
The Adldap\AdldapInterface
has been removed. There is no equivalent in LdapRecord.
Schema Interface Removal
The Adldap2 schema interface and classes have been completely removed. There is no equivalent in LdapRecord.
All attributes you were using from the schema must accessed directly on models.
Removed:
Adldap\Schemas\Schema
Adldap\Schemas\FreeIPA
Adldap\Schemas\OpenLDAP
Adldap\Schemas\ActiveDirectory
Adldap\Schemas\SchemaInterface
See why this change has occurred here.
Query Builder
The following methods have been removed:
$query->findBaseDn()
$query->findBySid()
$query->findBySidOrFail()
$query
$query->sortBy()
$query->isSorted()
$query->getSortByFlags()
$query->getSortByField()
$query->getSortByDirection()
$query->whereEnabled()
$query->whereDisabled()
$query->whereMemberOf()
Exceptions
The following exceptions have been renamed:
| From | To |
|---|---|
Adldap\AdldapException |
LdapRecord\LdapRecordException |
Adldap\Auth\BindException |
LdapRecord\Auth\BindException |
Adldap\Connections\ConnectionException |
LdapRecord\ConnectionException |
Adldap\Auth\UsernameRequiredException |
LdapRecord\Auth\UsernameRequiredException |
Adldap\Auth\PasswordRequiredException |
LdapRecord\Auth\PasswordRequiredException |
Adldap\Models\ModelNotFoundException |
LdapRecord\Models\ModelNotFoundException |
Adldap\Models\ModelDoesNotExistException |
LdapRecord\Models\ModelDoesNotExistException |
Models
Medium Impact Changes
Configuration
The following configuration options have been removed:
schema
account_prefix
account_suffix
All other configuration options have been kept identical and operate the same.
If you require the same functionality, simply append / prepend a string to the users username:
Adldap2:
$config = [
'account_prefix' => 'cn=',
'account_suffix' => ',ou=users,dc=local,dc=com',
];
$username = 'jdoe';
$password = 'secret';
if ($provider->auth()->attempt($username, $password)) {
//
}
LdapRecord:
$username = 'jdoe';
$password = 'secret';
$prefix = 'cn=';
$suffix = ',ou=users,dc=local,dc=com';
if ($connection->auth()->attempt($prefix.$username.$suffix, $password)) {
//
}


Module openmoko_accel
Library for accesing the accelerometer of a OpenMoko.
This module starts two devices, one for each one of the acceleration
sensors of a OpenMoko FreeRunner smartphone. Runs under SHR-testing OS.
The module of both devices is "openmoko_accel".
The acceleration is measured in mg (1/1000th of earth gravity).
The first Device is named "accelerometer.1" and the axes are, when
looking from the front and the phone laying on a desk:
x (horizontal to the right and away), y (horizontal to the left and away)
and z (down).
The second Device is named "accelerometer.2" and the axes are, when
looking from the front and the phone laying on a desk:
x (horizontal to the right), y (horizontal and away)
and z (down).
Usage:
local accel = toribio.wait_for_device('accelerometer.1')
sched.sigrun(
{emitter=accel.task, events={accel.events.data}},

Russia claims Turkey has assured Moscow it is not planning a new Syria operation
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Wednesday that Ankara had assured Moscow that it did not plan to launch a new military operation in Syria despite earlier comments, the TASS news agency reported.
Turkey’s state-owned Anadolu agency on Monday cited Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu as saying Ankara would launch a new military operation in northeast Syria if the area was not cleared of what he called terrorists.
Lavrov also said that the withdrawal of Kurdish militants in northern Syria was almost complete, RIA reported.

Metastore Manager
The Metastore Manager application enables you to manage the databases,
tables, and partitions of the
Hive metastore shared by
the (Beeswax and Cloudera Impala Query
UI) applications. You can use Metastore
Manager to perform the following operations:
Metastore Manager Installation and Configuration
Metastore Manager is one of the applications installed as part of Hue.
For information about installing and configuring Hue, see the Hue Installation
manual.
Starting Metastore Manager
Click the Metastore Manager icon
() in the navigation bar at
the top of the Hue browser page.

- Click . The Quick Start Wizard
opens.
- Click Step 2: Examples.
- Click Beeswax (Hive UI) or Cloudera Impala Query UI.
Importing Data
If you want to import your own data instead of installing the sample
tables, follow the procedure in Creating Tables.
Selecting a Database
- In the pane on the left, select the database from the DATABASE
drop-down list.
Creating a Database
- Click .
-
- Specify a database name and optional description. Database names
are not case-sensitive. Click Next.
- Do one of the following:
- Keep the default location in the Hive warehouse folder.
- Specify an external location within HDFS:
- Uncheck the Location checkbox.
- In the External location field, type a path to a folder
on HDFS or click to browse
to a folder and click Select this folder.
Click Create a new database.
- Click the Create Database button.
Dropping Databases
- Click .
- In the list of databases, check the checkbox next to one or more
databases.
- Click the Drop button.
- Confirm whether you want to delete the databases.
Creating Tables
Although you can create tables by executing the appropriate Hive HQL DDL
query commands, it is easier to create a table using the Metastore
Manager table creation wizard.
There are two ways to create a table: from a file or manually. If you
create a table from a file, the format of the data in the file will
determine some of the properties of the table, such as the record and
file formats. The data from the file you specify is imported
automatically upon table creation. When you create a file manually, you
specify all the properties of the table, and then execute the resulting
query to actually create the table. You then import data into the table
as an additional step.
From a File
- In the ACTIONS pane in the Metastore Manager window, click Create
a new table from a file. The table creation wizard starts.
- Follow the instructions in the wizard to create the table. The basic
steps are:
- Choose your input file. The input file you specify must exist.
Note that you can choose to have Beeswax create the table
definition only based on the import file you select, without
actually importing data from that file.
- Specify the column delimiter.
- Define your columns, providing a name and selecting the type.
-
Click Create Table to create the table. The new table's metadata
displays on the right side of the Table Metadata window. At this
point, you can view the metadata or a sample of the data in the
table. From the ACTIONS pane you can import new data into the table,
browse the table, drop it, or go to the File Browser to see the
location of the data.
Manually
- In the ACTIONS pane in the Metastore Manager window, click Create
a new table manually. The table creation wizard starts.
- Follow the instructions in the wizard to create the table. The basic
steps are:
- Name the table.
- Choose the record format.
- Configure record serialization by specifying delimiters for
columns, collections, and map keys.
- Choose the file format.
- Specify the location for your table's data.
- Specify the columns, providing a name and selecting the type for
each column.
- Specify partition columns, providing a name and selecting the
type for each column.
-
Click Create table. The Table Metadata window displays.
Browsing Tables
To browse table data:
In the Table List window, check the checkbox next to a table name and
click Browse Data. The table's data displays in the Query Results
window.
To browse table metadata:
Do one of the following:
Importing Data into a Table
When importing data, you can choose to append or overwrite the table's
data with data from a file.
- In the Table List window, click the table name. The Table Metadata
window displays.
- In the ACTIONS pane, click Import Data.
- For Path, enter the path to the file that contains the data you
want to import.
- Check Overwrite existing data to replace the data in the
selected table with the imported data. Leave unchecked to append to
the table.
- Click Submit.
Dropping Tables
- In the Table List window, click the table name. The Table Metadata
window displays.
- In the ACTIONS pane, click Drop Table.
- Click Yes to confirm the deletion.
Viewing a Table's Location
- In the Table List window, click the table name. The Table Metadata
window displays.
- Click View File Location. The file location of the selected
table displays in its directory in the File Browser window.


WHAT IS TEXTGLASS?
TextGlass is a text classification project. This encompasses things like device, browser, OS detection, and even WAF rules. Give TextGlass a string (like a HTTP User-Agent request header) and it will tell you what it is.
TextGlass has extended the idea of classification into generic JSON domains. The domain tells the TextGlass client how to classify the input into a result. This will allow this project and 3rd parties to create their own domains and use them with standard TextGlass clients. This also allows you to a run a domain across a large variety of languages and platforms and achieve identical results.
TextGlass has client support for the following languages:
Javascript, C, and Java
TextGlass supports the following platforms:
Varnish Cache
We are looking to expand our language and platform offering, so reach out if you would like to help.
TextGlass provides the following domains:
Device, Browser, and OS
For more information, please scroll down to the FAQ section.
WHY TEXTGLASS?
Too many flawed browser, OS, and device detection algorithms. Most are a jumble of regex and if statements. Also, the quality, accuracy, and consistency can vary greatly between languages and implementations. TextGlass is an attempt at a better detection library. Code and pattern data are cleanly seperated and a specification exists so that results are identical regardless of language or platform. Also, the pattern rules allow for any unique text to be identified with a simple definition.

FAQ
-
How do you do mobile detection with TextGlass?
Classify an HTTP User-Agent string against the Browser and OS domains. Check if the "mobile" attribute is set to "true" on either domain. This method relies on the Browser and OS signatures to tell us if the requestor is on a mobile platform. This is the best method because the set of known operating systems and browsers is small, stable, and manageable.
CodePen example -
Can you use the Device domain to do mobile detection?
Yes, classify an HTTP User-Agent string against the Device domain and check if the "mobile" attribute is set to "true". This method relies on identifying the actual device to tell us if the requestor is on a known mobile device. The downside to this method is that TextGlass can only identify devices which have been defined in the Device domain. The set of mobile devices is large and always changing.
CodePen example -
How do you detect tablets?
Using the Device domain, check if "tablet" is set to "true".
CodePen example -
How do you detect web crawlers, search engines, and bots?
Using the Device domain, check if "bot" is set to "true".
CodePen example -
Is TextGlass some kind of NLP engine?
TextGlass only performs one part of a classical NLP system: named entity recognition. Each domain can be considered an independent entity index. -
Can TextGlass be used as a WAF?
Absolutely. The domain specification is forward compatible with the type of advanced pattern matching functionality a WAF would require. When a security domain is used on an HTTP platform like Varnish, Nginx, or Apache, the result is a WAF. -
How can I contribute?
By creating issues on the Github project pages for missing devices, browsers, and operating systems. Also, by contributing TextGlass clients for languages and platforms we do not support. Please use the reference client and the TextGlass specification for creating new clients. -
Does TextGlass compete with commericial vendors?
No, we encourge 3rd parties to leverage the TextGlass ecosystem by creating their own TextGlass domains (please see the TextGlass specification). 3rd parties, open source or commercial, are free to distribute their TextGlass domains using their own licensing model, free or paid.


Being a replica server becomes more attractive when there is a more direct
benefit for helping an origin server out. If the origin owner of a web-site
offers the proceeds of the advertisements on his site to the replica's server
owner in return for the replica server delivering pages.
Google has developed Adsense, a
method where advertisements can be added to web-pages. Whenever a page is
requested by a browsing user, then Google provides an advertisement, and
accredites awards to the web-site owner. Here we explain how, instead of
always the owner of the web-site you can accredit the proceeds of the
advertisements to the owner of the server which serves the page.
First, both web-site owner and replica server owner should obtain an account
for Google AdSense.
Or if a replica-server does not wants advertisement proceeds he can choose
either to let the origin server keep the proceeds or
For the web-site owner / origin server:
The web-site owner should of course include the appropriate AdSense
HTML/JavaScript in his pages. However this code should be a bit different
from the default HTML snippet as AdSense provides. To allow the proceeds to
be shared, Adsense would normally propose to insert something like:
in your HTML. To use AdSense with Globule proceeds sharing then you should
change this.
Within the <HEAD>...</HEAD> section a similar
part as above indicating the default AdSense identity of the web-site owner:
Which allows replica server to suppress the ad, when the AdSense id is set to
- (a single hyphen).
Furthermore, origin site owners should also follow the description for replica
servers, but insert this in the exporting section.
For replica server owners:
Use the FancyServerName directive to set your own Google AdSense
identification. This FancyServerName can be set on each separate web-site.
If you have a replica server which for the site www.revolutionware.net and
your Google AdSense identification is pub-5345587347057115 then you would add:


| DOSE: |
0.5 leaves |
buccal |
Kratom |
(leaves) |
I was doing research on this leaf and came across the vault. I live in Thailand where this stuff grows naturally, and eat it from time to time, mostly when my Thai friends offer it.
I've read of other experiences with this leaf on the Internet and the dosages people are taking are way beyond what anyone here takes. Maybe the cultivated strains are weaker. Anyway I do quite well with just one half or one leaf. They split down the center vein quite easily, so it's easy to take it in half-leaf doses.
I usually start getting a buzz in about 15 minutes, and am fully off in 30-45 minutes. Some folks compare it to opium, and I guess that's fair if you're talking about high-quality chandoo containing a minimum of opium and maximum of papaverine and other stimulating alkaloids in O. Anyway for me krathom is primarily stimulating in its effect. I often eat a half leaf or more when embarking on a long drive, to keep me alert and make the trip a lot more interesting.
Basically it feels like a mild dose of E, with less jitters. In fact no jitters, just mild elation and alertness.
It's a shame it's illegal in Thailand, as all the truck drivers and dock workers that used to eat krathom to make a day's work go better are now on ya ba - cheap amphetamines that are causing addiction and violent incidents, etc. Krathom doesn't seem addictive at all, I'm able to take it daily for a week then not at all for six months or more.

Keeping community in the classroom
This chart shows the representational suspension rate for Oakland Unified School District in 2014.
About 90% are African-American, Hispanic or Latino.
No Suspend empowers Oakland community members by providing data to address escalating infraction and suspension rates among students of color in the Oakland Unified School District. The app will bring awareness using statistics from the California Department of Education to demonstrate the correlation between suspension rates and communities of color. No Suspend app will work in conjunction with existing Oakland Unified School District programs to eliminate racially disproportionate discipline practices.
Find an OUSD school where you can volunteer and have an impact. Share your career path. Work in an after-school program. Find a young person to mentor.
Whether you are a parent, grandparent, family member, close friend or concerned citizen, take initiative to make sure that the young people in your community are reading.
Contact your district school board member and demand more health, social, and academic supports --especially for young people.

SoundBox is more of a sonic exploratory project.
It is collaborative in that two or more people can affect the sounds in real-time.
So you can discover interesting possibilities while playing with your friends (or strangers!).
There are no track hierarchies that are referent-bound or idiomatic.
Simply experiment with the available sounds and, hopefully, have fun.
Navigate to "Workspace" to get started.

Click on a city to see how lyrically similar it is to other cities. The darker the line, the stronger the similarity. A city's color indicates how similar its own artists are.
Artists were gathered from the Wikipedia article on alternative rock musicians. Lyrics for their most popular songs were collected (when available) using Genius-API.
Artist to artist similarity is computed by generating a matrix of tf-idf values for each song pair, selecting the max similarity for each song, and computing the mean of those similarities.
City to city similarity is computed as the mean of each artist pair similarity between the cities. Self similarity is computed using the mean of artist similarities within that city. Only cities with data for more than one artist are included.


Frozen raspberries sold at Aldi recalled for potential Hepatitis A contamination
by Alex HiderA recall has been issued for bags of frozen raspberries and mixed berries that were sold at Aldi and Raley's Supermarket due to a possible Hepatitis A contamination.
According to Consumer Reports, the berries were sold in Alabama, California, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, North Carolina, New York, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and West Virginia.
According to the Food and Drug Administration, the recall covers 12 oz. bags of raspberries and 16 oz.bags of mixed berries. All of the bags have expiration dates in summer of 2021. See more information about the bags covered in the recall below.
Hepatitis A can either be a short-term illness or a long and severe illness. It usually manifests itself between two to seven weeks after eating infected foods.
Symptoms of Hepatitis A infection include fever, headache, fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, jaundice, dark urine or pale stool. In some cases, people with certain pre-existing conditions could suffer from liver failure.
Anyone who has consumed the infected product should consult a healthcare provider. Consumers who purchased the raspberries can contact Wawona Frozen Foods at<PHONE_NUMBER> or visit their website at www.wawona.com .

It's late in the evening; she's wondering what clothes to wear
She puts on her make-up and brushes her long blonde hair.
And then she asks me, "Do I look all right?"
And I say, "Yes, you look wonderful tonight."
We go to a party and everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady that's walking around with me.
And then she asks me, "Do you feel all right?"
And I say, "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight."
I feel wonderful because I see The love light in your eyes.
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don't realize how much I love you.
It's time to go home now and I've got an aching head,
So I give her the car keys and she helps me to bed.
And then I tell her, as I turn out the light,
I say, "My darling, you were wonderful tonight.
Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight."


Next: Examples of using the Pretty Printer, Previous: The Lisp Pretty Printer, Up: The Lisp Pretty Printer
The facilities provided by the pretty printer permit programs to redefine the way in which code is displayed, and allow the full power of pretty printing to be applied to complex combinations of data structures.
Whether any given style of output is in fact "pretty" is inherently a somewhat subjective issue. However, since the effect of the pretty printer can be customized by conforming programs, the necessary flexibility is provided for individual programs to achieve an arbitrary degree of aesthetic control.
By providing direct access to the mechanisms within the pretty printer that make dynamic decisions about layout, the macros and functions pprint-logical-block, pprint-newline, and pprint-indent make it possible to specify pretty printing layout rules as a part of any function that produces output. They also make it very easy for the detection of circularity and sharing, and abbreviation based on length and nesting depth to be supported by the function.
The pretty printer is driven entirely by dispatch based on the value of *print-pprint-dispatch*. The function set-pprint-dispatch makes it possible for conforming programs to associate new pretty printing functions with a type.

My name is Luke Walker. You can find out more about me on my website. Feel free to contact me if you like this and want to offer me a job!
Hi! I built this app as part of Free Code Camp's back end certification process. To learn more about Free Code Camp or this project in particular, visit their website. The app is basaed on this site.
These are the requirements I was given for building this site:
So basically, what it does is allow you to search for bars near you (using Yelp's database), and then indicate whether or not you want to go to one or more of those bars tonight. The numbers listed beside any given bar are limited to RSVPs in the last 24 hours. Right now, you can't see who has RSVPed, just that someone has. You'll see a list of your current RSVPs for tonight at the top of the search page, and you can cancel them by clicking the X there, or by unchecking the RSVP for a bar in the search results.
Because you only see RSVPs for the current day in search results, I added a little profile page that lists your historical rsvps (more than 24 hours old), so that you can review where you've said you wanted to go, and delete them if you care too. Only you can see your own profile.
Limited utility, right? If you've got thoughts on how I could make this app do something useful, hit me up at luke dot walker at gmail dot com, or on Twitter. This is the first FCC project that I've really felt could use a re-think.
Bar & nightclub listings are powered by Yelp.


This collection of code samples has the purpose to help users of PLUX Wireless Biosignals systems, such as BITalino or biosignalsplux , and to the researcher or student interested on recording, processing and classifying biosignals. The examples are set on a level of complexity to inspire the users and programmers on how easy some tasks are and that more complex ones can also be achieved, by reusing and recreating some of the examples presented here.
A Python library (entitled biosignalsnotebooks ) is the base toolbox to support the notebooks and to provide some useful functionalities. It can be installed through pip command, like demonstrated in a PyPI dedicated page.
In many cases we also point and illustrate with code the usage of other python toolboxes dedicated to biosignal processing.
The notebooks will cover the full topics pipeline of working with biosignals, such as: Load a file; Visualise the data online and offline, Pre-Process a one channel signal or a multi-channel acquisition, Detect relevant events in the signals, Extract features from many different type of sensors and domains, Train and Classify among a set of classes with several machine learning approaches, Understand the obtained results with metrics and validations techniques.
These examples are carried in a multitude of biosignals , from ECG, EDA, EMG, Accelerometer, Respiration among many others. The notebooks have a set of labels to help navigate among topics , types of signals , application area and complexity level to support the search for particular solutions.
We encourage you to share new example ideas, to pose questions<EMAIL_ADDRESS>, and to make improvements or suggestion to this set of notebooks.
Be inspired on how to make the most of your biosignals!
