What learnings did you take from Chapter 5 of Search Inside Yourself?
There were a lot of good bits on triggers. A lot of the examples were geared toward anger but there was a few good ones on panic attacks too.
One particular example was about Mingyur Rinpoche, who is a Nepalese teacher and master of two lineages of Tibetan Buddhism, according to Wikipedia. They never really stated who he was until I looked him up just now!
Up until he was 13 years old, he would have panic attacks seemingly at random. While on a meditation retreat, he looked deep into his panic and realised that neither following nor ignoring it would stop its growth.
Instead, he began to treat it like a friend, letting it enter and acknowledging its presence but never wishing it to go away
Within a mere 3 days, he found that it disappeared completely! He said that in the time he spend thinking about his emotions, he had a greater realisation of how "feeble and transitory" his emotions were.


Piran Kaliyar is the dargah of 13th-century Sufi saint of Chishti Order, Alauddin Ali Ahmed Sabir Kalyari also known as Sarkar Sabir Pak and Sabir Kaliyari, situated at Kaliyar village, near Haridwar on the banks of Ganga Canal, 7 kms from Roorkee.
It is one of the most revered shrine for Muslims in India and is equally revered by Hindus and Muslims. The dargah shrine was built by Ibrahim Lodhi, an Afghan ruler of Delhi.
Alauddin Sabir Kaliyari was born in Kohtwaal, a town in the district of Multan in 19 Rabi al-awwal, 592 Hijri (1196). He reached Kaliyar Sharif in 1253 AD, after being anointed as the protector of Kaliyar Sharif by Baba Fareed, who asked him to go Kaliyar, he stayed at Kaliyar for the rest of his life, and died here in 13th Rabi al-awwal 690 Hijri (1291. His studies were basically more spiritual and his main teacher was his peer, his uncle Baba Fareed.


How do you make the Twitter user experience feel more secure after last week's hack?
Monday, July 20, 2020
I just want to preface this answer with the statement that I believe Twitter handled the hacking situation last week very well, at least from my non-blue-badge perspective. All the official Twitter accounts lit up with notifications and post-mortem-style tweet threads. Jack was Tweeting as well and even had a Tweet of solidarity, "Tough day for us at Twitter. We all feel terrible this happened." At any rate, security is hard and at scale I don't know if any digital platform is invulnerable. The best thing to do, in my opinion, is over communicate and show your users you're doing something about it.
My response
To make the user experience feel more secure, I would take four actions beyond Twitter's public communications from the official Twitter accounts and Jack Dorsey's account. These actions would implicitly or explicitly communicate that Twitter is proactive about security and that Twitter has taken steps to increase its communication. In a situation like this, even if the hack was isolated to a small number of accounts, many users may feel more comfortable with some tangible or visible change that increases their "feeling" or perception of security.
First, I would create a permanent "Twitter health" type of component on the #Explore/Search screen. This would be a small component using some sort of traffic light indicator (red/yellow/green light, with some accompanying iconography). One thing many API providers have is a similar "status" screen which shows their different servers and regions and whether those are experiencing issues. Similarly, Twitter should have something that can be used to indicate a range of statuses, from security situations to network disturbances.
Second, I would measure if a user is logging on for the first time in a predetermined amount of time, for example two weeks or more. The idea here is that the user may be reacting to the news and is signing in to check whether they've been hacked. If the user falls into this segment, we could ask them to re-establish their login session, communicating that proactive measures were taken to secure their account.
Third, I would use this as an opportunity to display a recommendation to users who do not have multi-factor authentication setup to do so. This could even be paired with a suggestion to update passwords or a reminder that different passwords should be used for different services and websites.
Fourth, I would consider using Twitter's Notifications channel to communicate with users who have been ruled out as being potentially compromised. This system is regularly used for security messaging, such as "There was a login to your account @pm_interview from a new device on Jul 20, 2020. Review it now." While I'm sure Twitter was in communication with account holders who were hacked (especially considering they were all or mostly blue-badge users), many users were likely unsure of their exposure and may not know what, if any, next steps they should take.

[continued]
when they want to bite or to eat something, they snakes do not go at it head on, but sideways & by sinuous coiling, as do Satan & his henchmen. The snake has a small head, but a very large body; the entryway to sin seems small & inconsequential, but the consequences are great indeed. A snake can abstain from eating for seven or eight days, once he has swallowed a frog, and can swallow three or four frogs, one after the other, and what it has devoured does not rot & is not digested all at once in its stomach, but each part little by little, i.e. the bones and everything. The rest is just as fresh as when the snake ate it, such that when one bothers & torments it, it spits out what it swallowed up, which, in part, is totally digested, & with the other part as fresh as if the frog were alive. It can hold a swallowed frog down for two or three hours & spit it out alive.
 But the very best remedy for this is to put your hand into fresh dirt, & to cover it as if you wanted to bury it. Frogs are not so beautiful when molded because they have shiny skin, & toads have lumpy skin.
at left middle margin
You can mold the toad hollow, and leaving a notch open on the underbelly, you will make it jump with the twisted cord of the saw. If it is a small, put it on a magnet cut small to the size of the toad, then put it in good vinegar.
at right middle margin
If it is big, mold hollow, & if you want to mold it with its mouth open, put some cotton therein, & then put some melted wax on the cotton.
Killing snakes for molding
Some put a drop of aqua fortis into their mouths, which stupefies them, so that the head & the body look dead. But the head is still alive, and when you stick it with a needle in order to fix it to your mold, it moves & spoils & undoes everything.  Do the same with lizards & other similar animals.
at left bottom margin
If you want to keep them, you can put them in a pipe full of dirt in a garden outdoors, but it is necessary that the pipe be covered with latten wire, because otherwise, the snakes will crawl & climb up quite high.


The fact pattern used to statistically determine the rating for the target issue/issues has proven to be {{reliability}} based on the frequency with which the same facts have been presented to support a supplemental claim for increase, and the number of times the same rating has been determined by VBA RVSRs. The calculated confidence level - based on a population size of {{claimCount}} {{contentionType}} related claims over the past 10 years - EXCEEDS {{rateOfAccuracy}}%.


interface CheckpointCustomSerializer<OBJ, PROXY>
Allows CorDapps to provide custom serializers for classes that do not serialize successfully during a checkpoint. In this case, a proxy serializer can be written that implements this interface whose purpose is to move between unserializable types and an intermediate representation.
NOTE: Only implement this interface if you have a class that triggers an error during normal checkpoint serialization/deserialization.

toProxy |
Should facilitate the conversion of the third party object into the serializable local class specified by PROXY abstract fun toProxy(obj: OBJ): PROXY |

Submit the form above!
Add data-mjf_soc_name_value="NAME=VALUE" if you want to submit your clickable tag as a form field.
data-mjf_soc_name_value="NAME=VALUE"
If you have a field element with name="submit" this will not work, you'll get a JavaScript error. This is completely from the browser and nothing we can do. Rename your field element to something else.
name="submit"
If you have a form tag with onsubmit="FUNCTION()" the onsubmit probably won't fire. There isn't a work-around other than to write your own MJS onsubmit handler.
onsubmit="FUNCTION()"
onsubmit
If you're using, $m.wand.form_required = true; put this before $m.wand.submit_onclick = true; so the validation will work.
$m.wand.form_required = true;

Nollywood actor, Theodore Anyanji, is dead - Premium Times Nigeria
by Jayne AugoyeA veteran Nollywood actor and filmmaker, Theodore Anyanji, died on Saturday in Lagos.
The deceased battled a heart and kidney-related ailment for months.
A fundraiser was announced on his behalf on social media on November 6 but it yielded little or no result.
The thespian reportedly passed on at a prayer healing church in Festac, Lagos State.
His body has since been taken to his hometown in Umuaka, Imo State.
An actor, Valentine Opute, broke the news on Facebook on Sunday.
He wrote, “Go well Theodore. You fought a good fight. Theodore the Star maker. A perfectionist in all spheres.  This pricks my heart so deeply I must say. Theodore gave me my first ever major role in a movie in 2008 INDIAN DOCTOR, Just like he did to a lot other now successful actors. The GOLD behind a thousand and one Nollywood evergreen movies. It is well.”
Mr Anyaji was a member of the Directors Guild of Nigeria and made countless Nollywood hits.
One of his famous works was ‘Ada Mbano’ which arguably launched the film career of Queen Nwokoye.
He also directed and scripted projects such as The Plain Truth 2 (2008), Greatest Weapon (2006) and Ihite Kingdom 2 (2014).

Coming back to the Newsflash about the asteroid hitting Russia - Can you answer the question now about what happened to the kinetic energy of the asteroid once it hit the earth? Where did that energy go? See if you can come up with a list. Remember, energy is conserved, so it has to go somewhere!
Summary:
- Forms of energy are: gravitational potential, kinetic, nuclear, electrical potential, etc…
- Get a good feeling of both tables on daily life section.
- Power is energy delivered per unit of time. Units for power are Watts while energy would be in Watt-hour for example
- Kinetic energy (denoted K) is given by
\K = \frac12 mv^2\
If we use kg for mass and meters per second for speed we get K in Joules.
- Conservation of Energy: The total energy in a closed system doesn’t change, but the energy can change forms and move within the system. Look at the pie charts and energy bars in the skater applet. We will use those in assignments.


setof(
Template,
Generator,
Set)
returns the set Set of all instances of Template
such that Generator is provable, where that set is non-empty. The term
Generator specifies a goal to be called as if by call/1
.
Set is a set of terms represented as a list of those terms, without
duplicates, in the standard order for terms (see ref-lte-cte).
Obviously, the set to be enumerated should be finite, and should be enumerable by Prolog in finite time. It is possible for the provable instances to contain variables, but in this case Set will only provide an imperfect representation of what is in reality an infinite set.
If Generator is instantiated, but contains uninstantiated
variables that do not also appear in Template,
setof/3
can succeed nondeterminately, generating alternative
values for Set corresponding to different instantiations of the
free variables of Generator. (It is to allow for such usage
that Set is constrained to be non-empty.) For example, if
your program contained the clauses
likes(tom, beer). likes(dick, beer). likes(harry, beer). likes(bill, cider). likes(jan, cider). likes(tom, cider).
the call
| ?- setof(X, likes(X,Y), S).
might produce two alternative solutions via backtracking:
X = _872, Y = beer, S = [dick,harry,tom] ; X = _872, Y = cider, S = [bill,jan,tom] ; no
The call
| ?- setof((Y,S), setof(X,likes(X,Y),S), SS).
would then produce
Y = _402, S = _417, X = _440, SS = [(beer,[dick,harry,tom]),(cider,[bill,jan,tom])] ; no


THE VANISHING (1993) [Spoilers] A film review by Tanja Rosteck Copyright 1993 Tanja Rosteck
Well, I caught the opening of THE VANISHING last night. I haven't seen the original European film yet, but I imagine it's infinitely :^) better than this Hollywood remake.
I found the characters to be flat, without substance, especially Barney (Jeff Bridges). Perhaps the whole point of his character was that you weren't *supposed* to understand it, but if that was the director's intention, it certainly wasn't successful.
The first two-thirds of the movie were incredibly slow--not the good kind of slow, where you can feel the tension building for the movie's climax, but the bad kind of slow, where you just sit back and have to say, "God, get on with it, will you?"
The relationship between Rita, the waitress, and Jeff was also completely without substance. There was no chemistry between them whatsoever, and although I wasn't quite sure how long they had been involved before moving in together, the way they related to each other was like complete strangers. Again, perhaps this was intentional, since it was necessary to the plot for Jeff to keep his big secret from her, but it also wasn't successful.
The role of Barney's family was pretty unnecessary, except that there had to be a daughter so that the ending could turn out the way it did. Apart from that, there was almost no point in introducing them in the first place. There was potential there, however, to have his family play a more important and developed role, especially with regards to what motivated Barney to commit his crimes, and especially go to with the "go past the edge" theme. But again, no development here, and the "what's the point?" feeling came back.
Spoilers:
But the worst part had to be the ending. Apart from being gratuitously bloody and revengeful, it was completely predictable, very Hollywood. What really got me at the end was that Jeff, having gotten out of his burial box with the help of Rita and having killed (presumably) Barney, simply looked at a nearby mound (coffin-shaped mound, like his was), assumed that it was Diane that was buried there, and looked relieved. I couldn't quite grasp this. Here he had spent the past three or four years looking for Diane, not knowing anything about how she vanished, where she was, whether she was alive or dead, and how she had died (if she had), and the "not-knowing" was supposed to be the driving force of his life up until that point. He also knows that Barney had tried to capture other women. So, it could have been anyone buried in that mound--why didn't Jeff look, just to be sure? Wouldn't it rest his conscience, as well as relieve his curiosity, to just dig up the mound and make sure it *was* her? I think that if they had done that, it would also have cemented the ending of the movie. (But that's another Hollywood thing--you always have to leave room for a sequel.)
On the positive side, the music was great (especially the requisite "thriller music" during the scary parts), and the scenery of Washington State was also fabulous. I think it would have been much more effective had the gas station/ MiniMart been in a really remote section of highway, with forests and mountains all around, to give a real sense of "vanishing into nowhere." Where she *did* vanish in the movie was pretty populated--one McDonalds, a Dairy Queen, plus a couple of gas stations and *lots* of people around. Too much hustle and bustle to be effective.
All in all, I'd give this movie a 5 out of 10.

Chapter 1 Motivation
“Earthquakes are equally as likely to occur in the morning or the evening” Link 1
In September of 2016, a scientific paper was published that reported a small relationship between the phase of the moon and a particular set of earthquakes. This report was vastly overblown by many commenting on the internet into a generalised “the moon causes earthquakes”. To cut through some of the hype, I thought I would write a satirical piece focusing on the sun (not expecting to find anything); I could then pare down the data until I got a result and thus demonstrate how conclusions can be overblown. This is because even given the small influence of the moon on selected fault lines, as of October 2016, there was no evidence for a general link between astronomical activity and earthquakes. Earthquakes were seen as a subsurface process of internal faults and pressures.
Even in satire, I like to be thorough. I downloaded 5 full solar years of earthquake data for New Zealand from the Geonet earthquake database Link 1. Geonet, the official home of New Zealand earthquake data, provides a publicly accessible database of earthquake events. Through a web form visitors can generate a database query with various possible added filters, and either download earthquake information through a web browser or use the query string with programs that can download files from the internet. For large amounts of data, the database separates the queries into blocks of 20,000 earthquakes to avoid system strain.
As the amount of day and night varies within a year, a full year avoids biases created by only downloading earthquakes in a narrow time range. Downloading five years was to avoid biases created by earthquake swarms occurring in a single year. As five years meant several queries of the database, I added a step to remove duplicates to avoid any confusion over whether the dates marking each range were inclusive or exclusive. Since I made my download in October 2016, the five-year range was from the start of October 2011 to the end of September 2016.
After downloading more than 100,000 earthquakes for this 5 year period for the New Zealand region, I calculated which hour of the day, in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), each earthquake took place in. Then I made a basic graph to get a general feeling for the data. I expected a fairly flat line with a little random fluctuation, as there was no reason to expect any real differences.
The results shocked me. Not only was there a visible difference of thousands of earthquakes, the difference was consistent for both the night and day. Both of these things were radically different to the understanding of how earthquakes behaved. The size of the differences was more than would be expected, and the consistency of the differences between night and day showed that it was not random. Since night in New Zealand falls approximately after 7 and before 19 hours, this meant that around 56685 of the 101902 earthquakes occurred in approximate night hours; to put it another way, with 45217 earthquakes occurring in day hours, 25 % more earthquakes occurred at night than in the day.
If the occurrence of earthquakes is not influenced by the sun - as was generally believed to be the case - then the chance of getting such a large difference between night and day over so many earthquakes was too small for the computer to accurately calculate. However, for those happy with approximate figures, it is somewhere in the order of a p-value of:
0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001
I could also express the odds of seeing these results by chance given no true night/day effect as a bit less than 1 in 3 googols.
This result was really dramatic, like seeing something fall upwards instead of downwards- if my understanding of the area was correct this result should have been impossible. Once I recovered from the shock of encountering something so unlikely compared to established knowledge, instead of writing a short satirical piece, I had a significant mystery that needed explaining. This book is the account of working through an analysis of that mystery.

14.1. FileSystem Datastore Architecture¶
The GeoMesa FileSystem Datastore (GeoMesa FSDS) takes advantage of the performance characteristics of modern cloud-native and distributed filesystems to scale bulk analytic queries. The FSDS is a good choice for doing bulk egress queries or large analytic jobs using frameworks such as Spark SQL and MapReduce. The FSDS differs from other datastores in that ingest and point query latencies are traded for high-throughput query performance. The FSDS pairs well with low-latency ingest and cache-based datastores systems such as HBase or Kafka to provide an optimal pairing of “hot” and “warm” storage options. This pairing is commonly known as a Lambda Architecture.
The GeoMesa FSDS consists of a few primary components:
- FileSystem - A separately managed storage system that implements the GeoMesa FileSystem API
- Partition Scheme - A stategy for laying out data on within the filesystem
- Storage Format - A defined format or encoding to store data in files
- Query Engine - A query engine or client to fulfill queries and run analytic jobs
14.1.1. FileSystem¶
GeoMesa FSDS can utilize any filesystem that implements the Hadoop FileSystem API. The most common filesystems used with GeoMesa FSDS are:
- HDFS - Hadoop Distributed File System
- S3 - Amazon Simple Storage
- GCS - Google Cloud Storage
- WASB - Windows Azure Blob Store
- Local - Locally Mounted File System (e.g. local disk or NFS)
Choosing a filesystem depends generally on cost and performance requirements. One thing to note is that S3, GCS, and WASB are all “cloud-native” storage meaning that they are built into Amazon, Google, and Microsoft Azure cloud platforms. These cloud-native filesystems are scaled separately from the compute nodes which generally provides a more cost efficient storage solution. Compared to HDFS, their price per GigaByte of storage is lower but their latency is higher. They also have the ability to persist data after you turn off all your compute nodes.
Any of the filesystems mentioned about are good choices for the FSDS. If you have more questions about making a choice contact the GeoMesa team
14.1.2. Partition Schemes¶
The partition scheme defines how data is stored within the filesystem. The scheme is important because it defines how the data is queried. Most OLAP queries in GeoMesa contain a date range and geometric predicate and the partition scheme can aid in finding the files satisfy the query. There are two main partition schmes used with GeoMesa FSDS:
- Date - partition data by a Date attribute
- Geometry (Z2) - partition data by its geometric coordinates using a Z2 space-filling curve
- Combined Date and Geometry - partition data using a combined data-time scheme
The partition scheme must be provided at ingest time. Examples of common schemes are:
- Hourly - Store a file for each hour of each day
- Daily - Store a single file for each day of the year
- Day with Z2 - Store a file each day for each region of the world (at some precision of geometry)
More information on defining partition schemes can be found in Partition Schemes and ingest.
14.1.3. Storage Formats¶
- Apache Parquet - Apache Parquet is the leading interoperable columnar format in the Hadoop ecosystem. It provides efficient compression, storage, and query of structured data. Apache Parquet is currently the only format that can be used for writing data into the FileSystem datastore.
- Converter Storage - The converter storage format is a synthetic format which allows you to overlay a GeoMesa converter on top of a filesystem using a defined partition scheme. This allows you to utilize existing data storage layouts of data stored in JSON, CSV, TSV, Avro, or other formats. Converters are pluggable allowing users to expose their own custom storage formats if desired.

I am running "Rock-solid RFM2Pi gateway solution" (http://harizanov.com/2013/08/rock-solid-rfm2pi-gateway-solution/) .. from the shop here http://shop.openenergymonitor.com/pre-loaded-raspberry-pi-gateway-4gb-sd...
Which seems to work extremely well.
The oemgateway.conf file contains the following, where sendtimeinterval is set to 60, but this *does not* appear to be doing the trick - the emonGLCD is not displaying the actual time. The Pi itself *is* OK and reports the time correctly.
# This listener manages the RFM2Pi module

Anyone have any idea what might not be working ?

Re: GLCD Not picking up time - using Pre-Loaded Raspberry Pi Gateway from OEM Shop
I believe it should work.
Things you can do:
- Activate logging in the gateway (see the doc on emoncms.org) and see what you get there. You may even modify python code to add prints.
- Instrument emonGLCD to see what is received and understand why it goes wrong.
Is it not just a matter of radio transmission ?
If anything is sent, it should be correctly formatted . There was an issue but it was corrected in september :
https://github.com/Jerome-github/oem_gateway/commit/43eb3c6d51242c9c6795...
If the image still contains this bug, it should be updated.
Can you please check in the code and tell us ? You should see this
and not
Re: GLCD Not picking up time - using Pre-Loaded Raspberry Pi Gateway from OEM Shop
Hi,
Thanks for the help.
I have the gateway in DEBUG mode (see below). Have also verified that the code in oemgatewaylistener.py is correct .. it's the former of the two versions above.
I must admit to not being 100% sure of the dataflow here. What is talking to what to get the time to the GLCD -- the gateway transmitting to the GLCD ?
I can see that all of the nodes seem to be active in that data is being received by the gateway from all three and then transmitted to emoncms.org .. 20 is the GLCD, 19 is an emonTH and 10 is an emonTX V3.
However, I see no debug messages relating to time (except the time interval ->>> 2014-01-09 12:39:36,160 INFO Setting send time interval to 60) and no evidence of log/debug traffic from the gateway to the GLCD.
Sorry, am a bit new to all of this. Baby steps !
Re: GLCD Not picking up time - using Pre-Loaded Raspberry Pi Gateway from OEM Shop
Yes, it goes gateway -> GLCD.
Happens here:
2014-01-09 12:39:39,204 DEBUG Broadcasting time: 12:39
Should work.
Could it be a radio link issue ? Maybe try to get the GLCD closer.
Re: GLCD Not picking up time - using Pre-Loaded Raspberry Pi Gateway from OEM Shop
Ah ! Thanks :) Good.
I've tried various locations for the GLCD .. at the moment (I am testing) it's < 1m from the gateway. I wondered if that was actually too close, so have tried further away too. No luck so far. Also have rebooted gateway multiple times etc.
The GLCD *is* getting (and showing) the correct overall household power usage, so *is* capable of receiving that data wirelessly. But I guess that is
Is it possible that the gateway is really not transmitting the time, or that the GLCD is not recieving it (and if it is, simply not displaying).
What to check first, would you recommend.
Thanks ever so for the help. Really appreciated.
Poking about I can see the following code in the Arduino Sketch ..
(Have added underline, bold). Now 10 *is* the NodeID of the emonTX, but what is emonBase node ID? -- is that referring to the Gateway ? There is nothing, as far as I know at 15). The oemgateway.conf says baseid = 19 (but I already have an emonTH on that node)
So, should I set baseid = 25 (for example) in the oemgateway.conf file and also change this line in the Arduino sketch to match ? (i.e. node_id == 25)

Re: GLCD Not picking up time - using Pre-Loaded Raspberry Pi Gateway from OEM Shop
Yep, that did it. I set them both to 25 and now I have the actual time :)
Yay !
Pat
Re: GLCD Not picking up time - using Pre-Loaded Raspberry Pi Gateway from OEM Shop
Well spotted.
We should settle with a common default base ID for both the gateway and the sketch examples.
I don't remember why I set it at 19 in the config file of the gateway.
Re: GLCD Not picking up time - using Pre-Loaded Raspberry Pi Gateway from OEM Shop
At least this was on the simpler end of what might have been wrong ! And *easy* to fix :)
Re: GLCD Not picking up time - using Pre-Loaded Raspberry Pi Gateway from OEM Shop
Hello, i am Italian.
Sorry for my english.
It is also possible to transmit the full date the Raspberry?
I would like to display it on emonglcd.
This is the string to be changed, right?
self._ser.write("00,%02d,%02d,00,s" % (now.hour, now.minute))
Many Thanks!
Re: GLCD Not picking up time - using Pre-Loaded Raspberry Pi Gateway from OEM Shop
michelino1977,
Your question is different to the question asked in this thread. Please could you open a new forum post with a title that explains what you are trying to do? e.g. "Trying to get GLCD to display date rather than time"
You are more likely to grab the attention of people who can help you.

I identify as a somewhat religious person, and had recently been on a quest to have some kind of tangible interaction with G-d or an angel through the use of psychadelics. I had researched a few substances that I had never tried before, and had heard amazing things about salvia and its ability to produce an overwhelming dream-like state. When I found out that salvia is legal and easy to obtain, I new I had to try it. I've had multiple experiences with shrooms, ecstasy, and acid, but I can't even relate any of those drugs to salvia...
It was a warm afternoon on the California coast, I had just bought some pumpkins with my friend for Halloween, and we headed back to her place where she was going to carve the pumpkins and sit with me while I tried salvia. I had briefed her on how to take care of me and how I might react to the drug, based on my readings of the experience reports. I made sure I did it with someone I knew and trusted, and I think that definitely made it a better experience that first time. I had secured a gram of 6x extract from the internet for $16, including shipping and handling.
So, I laid down on my friend's bed, put on my headphones and started listening to Cat Steven's Greatest Hits, packed a bowl full of salvia, and took two good-sized hits, holding in the smoke. I was able to put down the pipe and lighter and relax on the bed. I closed my eyes and started to feel tripped out almost immediately, but it was the sort of effects where you don't know if they're being caused by the drug or self-induced. In any case, things became more obviously different seconds after that; I was seeing closed-eye visuals, and it seemed to me I was floating in a flat, geometric plain and my body was encased in a bubble above and below, and the bubble came into my body down my sides, and it seemed that the bubble was filled with moving matter that was the music I was hearing.
I was laughing really hard at one point and repeating 'Oh shit' over and over, because I couldn't believe my friend was just sitting over there carving pumpkins and not knowing what this was like. I sat up eventually and looked around and she asked, 'Its already over?' I couldn't answer, but instead started laughing again because it wasn't over and I thought that was funny that she was so presumptuous. So I laid back down and laughed and watched the visuals some more, and then the next time I sat up it was over. That first experience had lasted exactly fifteen minutes. I told my friend what had happened, and I told her that I felt like the salvia had more to offer and that I would try it again right now, this time taking bigger hits and holding it in longer.
And so I proceeded to pack a bowl into the bub, and took two hits, one after the other, expanding my lungs before the first hit to allow maximum capacity. This time, the effects came on so strong and so fast that my friend had do take the pipe and lighter from my hands. I had read that people become unable to put the pipe down, but I didn't understand what that meant until that moment. It was like a wave crashed into my reality. Its really difficult to describe what I experienced in words, but I suppose it was like how sometimes when one is stoned after smoking marijuana, ideas flow through the mind rapidly and seem like amazing ideas, kind of hard to control. Well, with salvia it was like those ideas were Existence, or were tangible and my whole body (well I can't really say I knew I had a body at the time, more like my 'person' or my 'me' or something) was sliding and being washed over by different realities, or dimensions, I can't really say what.
I can remember glimpses of things that happened; for instance, at one moment I was a grassy hill with a freeway bridge going over it. Also at one point, I was for some reason curious as to what my sitter was thinking about me, because I thought maybe I looked like I was having a heart-attack or something, altough there was absolutely no reason for me to think that, and so I was trying to get a grip on normal reality and talk to her, but it was like every time I could see the room and get a word out to her, I would get sucked back into the salvia universe and then have to work to pull myself back out.
As I tried to strike up what I thought was a 'normal' conversation with my friend, I found myself speaking with an alarmed tone of voice, which worried me, because I thought she would think I was having trouble but really I realized I just wanted to tell her how amazing this was, but it seemed to me that I was just in a big cave of a body trying to yell a message out from a hole up on the ceiling of the cave, but my words couldn't really make it and the only things I could get out were her name, and then I said something like 'I'm tripping out' 'don't worry' and 'just talk chill to me.' I felt that these comments surely were not getting my point across, but eventually I forgot about her and went back into my world.
The most unique and appealing aspect of salvia seems to be its effect on my whole being; its not just visuals or feelings of at-oneness, but even more than that, it was my whole Self was involved, exactly like in a dream. That episode ended in exactly fifteen minutes also, and I recounted what had happened to my friend. I felt unusually calm the rest of the night, and got some things done that I had been meaning to do for a long time.
The next day I really wanted to try salvia again, but my friend had work to do and so was busy, and I felt uncomfortable asking any of my other friends to sit with me while I 'tripped out,' and so I decided to try it alone. I took many precautions; I locked my doors so I wouldn't be able to wander out of my room (although, the last time I wouldn't have even been able to sit up or even move my hands, much less stand up and walk away)and only had one lamp on next to my bed. I knew I would have to do this all quickly because I didn't want to get stuck with the bub in my hand while I tripped out. It was after sunset, and my plan was to take the biggest hit I could, put down the bub and lighter, turn off the lamp, lay back on my bed, pull down an eye-cover, and then exhale when I had to.
So I did all this, without music, and had mild effects just like the first time last time, which lasted about fifteen minutes again, and then I decided to give it a second try. This time I had music again, good old Cat Stevens. I repeated the same procedure, smoke (one hit), pipe down, light off, lay back, eye-cover, and before I could exhale, I was completely enveloped by a different world. Suddenly, I was in a room maybe in a house or a school, and there were people there, it was the afternoon, people were talking around me or to me, I'm not quite sure. In any case, I scraped my hand through the air and sort of tore open reality (so if you imagine the scene in front of you is just like a 3-D movie screen that you can tear through), and climbed into the scrape, which just led me to another scrape and then I was kind of tumbling through realities, and I could really feel each one kind of hitting me, or rubbing past me.
I think I was under the impression that I wasn't on a drug at this point, or anyways my normal life had never existed, and so it seemed to me that I was really just living a life where you could tumble through realities. But then I became a little worried that I wouldn't be able to get back to where I came from, because I couldn't stop scraping. Then I realized I had always been tumbling like that, there had never been another time, and I would always be tumbling and there was no way to stop. This thought really worried me, but then I heard a woman's voice, which seemed to me to be my friend from the previous day but I remembered I was alone, and yet I wasn't alone, and yet I wasn't me, and yet I was caught up in the idea that I was eternity, etc. Anyway, the voice told me its ok, that everything would be ok, and I thought that was weird that people knew about this and never told me before (that people knew about tumbling through realities).
This tumbling episode ended at some point, and other things went on. I think for a bit I was some completely different person, maybe a female, but it wasn't like I was a female, I was just a different person with a whole different life and history and lense of the world. Its all too difficult to put into words. In any case, as the experience was ending I felt very wet, I don't know why, because I was not wet. That whole episode was fifteen minutes also. A few seconds coming up, plateau for ten minutes, and slowly back to reality for about five minutes. I didn't find G-d, and I don't think the people I talked to were angels, but it was definitely an amazing experience.

BrushAlpha brush,alpha#
Parameters:
| brush - brush handle alpha# - alpha level of brush |
Description:
| Sets the alpha level of a brush. The alpha# value should be in the range 0-1. The default brush alpha setting is 1. The alpha level is how transparent an entity is. A value of 1 will mean the entity is non-transparent, i.e. opaque. A value of 0 will mean the entity is completely transparent, i.e. invisible. Values between 0 and 1 will cause varying amount of transparency accordingly, useful for imitating the look of objects such as glass and ice. An BrushAlpha value of 0 is especially useful as Blitz3D will not render entities with such a value, but will still involve the entities in collision tests. This is unlike HideEntity, which doesn't involve entities in collisions. |

Welcome to BELSMUN.
Click the chat button in the corner to get started. It might take a few seconds for the live chat to appear.


I may not look it to the people who know me, but I am a grade A worrier. Despite my daily work, I have the capacity to worry about nearly everything.
I realize that when people say they are worriers, they often stop short of explaining why. My ongoing goal is to be honest with you, so here are the things I worry about:
- I worry that if I don’t check in with people I love on a regular basis, they will start to lose their love for me.
- I worry that when I decline invitations to go do something (because I’m tired, because I’m burnt out, etc.), I lose a chunk of the relationship I had with the person I declined.
- I worry that when I don’t have the strength to give 100% on any particular day, others will lose their respect for me.
- I worry that I am selfish in my expectations for what my relationships should look like.
- Whenever I have a difficult moment in a relationship (and act in a way unbecoming of me), I worry that will be the last conversation I have with that person.
- I worry that in trying to practice my greatest wish – to be Christ to the world – my shortcomings, mistakes, and poor choices make it so I leave no lasting impact on the lives I care about.
On and on it goes. Very few days go by where I don’t think about at least one of these (or the myriad others not mentioned here). Some days, it’s easy to give up the worrying to God; I am able to say, “Please take this from me” and He does – it bleeds away. Other days are harder; despite continued requests, the worrying sits on my chest like a boulder.
TL;DR
God helped me realize today that there are some basic steps to deal with my worries.
The Story
The heavy days are, as you would imagine, the hardest ones. They have the capacity to sink my mood, put my head in a fog, and leave me thinking, “Why do I bother?”1 When I think about those days, I don’t know which I fear most: that I’m able to bury and hide it, or that others can plainly see that I’m struggling.
Today was one of those days. Horribly, I couldn’t even pinpoint why I was letting worry weigh me down; but it surely did. It hurt. It darkened an otherwise fine day.
So I began to pray.
Halt
Interestingly, I didn’t pray for relief; I should have – I wanted to – but those words didn’t come out of my mouth. Something else came out: “Why?” I wanted to know why I was struggling (especially given that nothing had brought it on). I craved understanding more than anything.
I came to realize a single word had repeated in my head without me knowing it (the same way a song can just appear in my mind and stay there for hours). Again and again, I heard my voice: halt. I didn’t get it; what is that supposed to mean? I thought. But there wasn’t anything else; just that one word, over and over: halt.
Suddenly, I remembered an old “definition” that I had heard long ago:
H(ungry) A(ngry) L(onely) T(ired)
“HALT” was the thing to remember when hard feelings came on; it was the circumstances to be aware of when temptation came along; in all things, “HALT” represented four practical emotions and “states of being” to be aware of.
As it kept repeating, I suddenly remembered that I hadn’t eaten much today.2
Once I took the time to eat a meal, the sad feelings slowly faded away. It wasn’t long until they disappeared completely.
The Basics
I realize that this sounds blindingly obvious. Unfortunately, somewhere along the way, I became really good at diagnosing difficult spiritual issues and lost my ability to see the basics.
In taking some time to think about it, I realize that God taught me an important lesson today: although there certainly are times where something more monstrous is attacking my life3, there are also times where remembering the basics is all I need.4
Here’s what it means to me.

My “I’m hungry” and “I’m tired” mechanisms don’t seem to work like they should. In most cases, hunger equates to grumbling stomachs and tiredness equates to a “I should go to sleep” realization. Not for me. For me, they lead to feelings of fear, sadness, worry, and a general sense of doom-and-gloom. I somehow translate physical feelings into emotional worries without blinking an eye.
So, my response needs to become more automatic: if I begin to worry about anything, I shelve it until I have a chance to eat and get some sleep. If, after all that, I still feel the heaviness, then I will allow myself to re-examine it.
Don’t let one thing bleed into another.
I do this all the time. If work is difficult, I start to wonder if I’m not a great husband, either. If my team loses the Superbowl, I’m prone to feeling depressed about other things.5 In so many subtle ways, I allow frustrations in one area become frustrations in another.
That outcome, too, has to be a conscious decision. When I pray about my original frustration, I want it to come with an addendum: “Please help me to not spread this elsewhere.”
Let each day be enough.
I pride myself on being a very good “here-and-now thinker.” I don’t often obsess over the past or fixate on what might happen in the future; I like the here-and-now. But like anyone, I’m not perfect, and the days where I allow myself to get embroiled somewhere else in time become incredibly hard.
Jesus was clear about this: “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.” (Matthew 6:34 ESV)
There are plenty of times where I know this to be true, but cannot feel it. Those moments, then, are ripe for prayer to remember the moment.
Give others the benefit of the doubt.
I can’t count the several times I’ve allowed my brain to get carried away into a non-existent reality. All too often, I meet a very strange phenomenon: my brain, digging through various thoughts, will start to play an argument between me and someone I love. It seems harmless enough in the beginning, so I let it go and let my mind wander. Before I know it, I, myself, am engaged in that argument. And in the end, something heavy weighs me down (as if the argument had actually happened).
Sometimes, my day starts out with one of these “head-arguments.” When I see that person in life, my heart hurts; for all it knows, we argued and are at odds with one another.
I’ve also gone the other direction: as I mentioned before, I often imagine that others’ love for me wanes when I decline their invitations, don’t stay in perfectly regular contact, etc. I go ahead and assume (read: make real) that they will be disappointed in me. Before I know it, I’ve convinced myself that it’s all real, and that I should feel sad about it.
The truly scary part: it isn’t real. Only the pain I cause my heart is real. In doing this, I lay a heavy burden on myself and put injustice on the person who unwittingly participated in the head-argument.
So, there, too, is a conscious decision: take every thought captive.6 When those things pop into my head, I have to declare the truth: that both parties in that head-argument deserve the benefit of the doubt.
The Road Ahead
My intellectual self reads this and goes, “Wow, you think about this stuff way too much.” It’s probably true. That said, these “simple things” have, more times than not, led me down a sad, beleaguered path that I’m tired of walking down. I’ve been bamboozled into thinking that they are too immense for me to address, and it’s time for that to stop.
My new mission has to be that every day, I apply dedication, focus, and obedience to what God says is true: in addition to the heavier things of this world, there are some basics that, followed correctly, will spare a lot of pain.
Thank you for showing me this, Father. I walk forward, a little lighter. Tomorrow will be my first steps back toward the basics. Thank you for lovingly guiding me back there.

The Analytics of Dairy Company Amalgamation Download
(PDF)
Paper presented to the winter meeting of the NZ
Agricultural and Resource Economics Society, Blenheim, 2000.
In New Zealand there has been a gradual process of consolidation in the
structure of the industry in the last 100 years, from 400
cooperative dairies to just a few. In 1999, the last two big
cooperatives, the Kiwi company and the NZ Dairy Co-op, initiated
plans to amalgamate with the NZ Dairy Board, which had statutory
responsibility for overseas marketing. In preliminary negotiations,
it became clear that the merger terms between the companies were
foundering on questions of value and relative performance. This
nine-page paper explores a discounted cash flow model for valuing
the respective contributions of the two companies to the merged
company. Actual cash flows are not explored (due to lack of data)
but the issues involved are discussed [In the event, independent
consultants found that there was insufficient difference in the
prospective cash flows to warrant one company paying an entry fee
into the merger].

Dairy Mergers and the National Interest (2001c).
(PDF). Also available from
Agribusiness Perspectives Papers 2001, Paper 45
This 13-page paper, presented to the NZ Agricultural and Resource Economics Society on
7 July 2001, discusses the Commerce Act legislation in New Zealand and its
provisions for preventing mergers that reduce competition. The
criteria used by the Commission are strictly national interest
criteria based on market dominance theory. The Commission produced
an adverse determination in the case of the merger of the two major
dairy companies in New Zealand and the companies have since resorted to a
direct approach to Government.

Recent Trends in Dairy Farm Productivity.
(PDF)
Paper presented at the Eighth Annual Conference of the NZ Agricultural and Resource Economics Society
2002 with Ann Anderson.
This paper uses Tornqvist index numbers to
estimate total farm productivity trends in NZ for the period
1991-2001. The sample is divided into owner operator farms and
50/50 sharefarmers (the value of milk sales is divided equally
between the land owner and the herd owner). The early 1990s were a
period of rebuilding in the industry and real inputs exceeded real
outputs. Since 1996 the reverse has been true and total
productivity has increased by 3-4% per year.


This attractive and interesting town on the west coast of the island, is focused around the little harbour whose picturesque open-air fish restaurants line the quayside. This part of the town is known as Kato Pafos.
Position 34°45'04"N, 32°24'30"E (harbour entrance)
Call Paphos Marine Police on VHF channel 16 on approach.
Although this is a Port of Entry, but it may be necessary to be stamped in at Limassol or Larnica.
Last updated November 2015..
This is a sheltered fishing port which may have room for yachts too, but beware that the east of the leading line is very shallow. There is also a submerged breakwater projecting from that side at the entrance. The maximum depth in the harbour is 2m.
The Harbour Master welcomes yachts and does his best to find a space.
The port generally provides good shelter but can be uncomfortable in strong southerlies.
There is water, electricity and toilets (no showers).

Deyjah Harris deletes Instagram after dad T.I. reveals hymen checks
Deyjah Harris, daughter of T.I., has now deleted her Instagram account following comments her father made about her sexual health.
As of Sunday 17 November, Deyjah’s account, @princess_of_da_south, was completely deactivated.
Deyjah, who is known from reality series Tiny & T.I.: Family Hustle made the move right after she unfollowed her dad on Twitter and Instagram.
The 18-year-old has made the move to come off of social media completely after what T.I. said about her.
On the Ladies Like Us ‘Life Hacks’ podcast last week, T.I. spoke openly about ensuring Deyjah’s hymen was intact.
He said: ‘Deyjah’s 18, just graduated high school now and she’s attending her first year of college, figuring it out for herself.
‘And yes, not only have we had the conversation, we have yearly trips to the gynecologist to check her hymen.’
People began reacting to what T.I. came out with immediately, many comments standing up for Deyjah.

Even celebs got involved, with rapper Iggy Azalea speaking out to say T.I. ‘has serious control issues with women in all aspects of his life and needs therapy’.
In now deleted tweets, Iggy wrote: ‘Unfortunately, he is dead serious. I really wish the women who interviewed him would have said something to him.’
And while Deyjah hasn’t said anything officially, it’s highly likely that she’s quite upset by her father’s choice to share something so private with the world.
Plus her decisions to unfollow him on social channels and then delete her Instagram account speak for themselves.
Deyjah’s step mother, Tiny, responded to comments from people asking if Deyjah is ok, especially with all the public attention she’s now getting.
Tiny just replied with an eye roll emoji.
Kind of confusing but this may mean she has chosen to side with her husband this time.
Or maybe she just doesn’t want to be involved in the whole drama.

Entering into anything new can be overwhelming and intimidating. I should know, I have chosen to enter the field of web development and I'm attending Dev Bootcamp. Dev Bootcamp (DBC) is a development bootcamp geared at taking you from newbie to a "world class beginner" in 18 weeks. It is going to be one of the most challenging experiences of my life. This blog series is designed to be an introduction to the world of development for the novice developer by a novice developer. By the end of this series I hope that you have had an opportunity to grow as much as I have.
What is the difference between an array and a hash?
Before we get into the differences between an array and a hash, I guess it would be beneficial to know what they are first.
Arrays
Simply put, arrays are a way to store multiple elements within Ruby. Well that's great; but what does that mean? Ok let's look at it this way. Imagine you needed to go to the grocery store. You get a pad of paper and you start writing down everything you need. It may look something like this:
- Milk
- Eggs
- Bread
- Coffee
- Cereal
- Cookies
Alright, now don't judge me based on my shopping list, let's just stay focused on the example. Anyway, you can think of the pad of paper as the array and the items of your shopping list are the elements of the array. Pretty simple right?! Arrays are just an ordered collection of objects. Now unlike our shopping list example, arrays do not start ordering with 1. In fact, arrays are sometimes referred to as zero index arrays. Which just means that the first item in our array sits in the zeroth position. So if our shopping list was actually an array it would look more like this:
- Milk
- Eggs
- Bread
- Coffee
- Cereal
- Cookies
So here we have an array called
my_aray
with the strings "Apples", "Oranges"
, the integer 67
, and an array of ["hello","world"]
.
Hashes
Hashes, are very similar to arrays in that they store multiple elements. Now arrays use a zero index to store the "position" of the value within an array. But what happens if that really doesn't work well for us, this is where hashes come into play. Although we could use our shopping list example again, let's try something different. Alright, it's the end of the month and we are putting bills together to see if we went over budget and it may look something like this:
- Rent: $2,5000
- Car: $279
- Water: $300 (It is California after all)
- Utilities: $300
- Groceries: $1,500
The great thing about hashes is that we can use a string as the "key" so you can be pretty specific with the key, which may give you more insight into the key's value. An important thing to remember with hashes is that each key has to be unique to the hash, but multiple keys can have the same value. If you were to accidentally reuse a key, the hash would store that last value that was added.
So what's the difference?
Although both arrays and hashes store multiple elements within them, the way we access them is different. In an array we access the value at a specific index. Remember, if you want to access the first element of an array you would need to use 0 not 1 similar to this:
With a hash, we access the value of elements using their keys, similar to this:
Did you notice what I did there? Yep, there are a few different ways to assign the keys and values in a hash and I just wanted to show you a different way. However, it is important to be consistent because it will change the way in which you call the value. For example, in our first example we would actually call the value like this my_hash["Car"]
. Of course, the value returned would be the same but you cannot assign one way and call them another.
So why would you use one over another? In some cases I think it really comes down to personal preference because they are similar in their function. A good case for using a hash over an array may come in the example of storing user names and passwords. In this example, the user name would be the key and the password would be the value. It is a little easier than an array because if a person forgot their password it would be easy to find based on their user name being the key. If we were to use an array, you would have to try and remember at what index the user's password is stored. In fact you may even need to create a hash to store that information.
Well, I can honestly say that I went over my alloted time limit on this post, but I hope that it gives you a better understanding of arrays and hashes in Ruby.
