The Witcher 3, Gwent drive revenue growth at CD Projekt
Polish company looks toward strong Q4 with Gwent iOS and The Witcher 3 for Switch
by Matthew HandrahanCD Projekt reported a 29% increase in its nine month revenue, largely due to the continuing strong performance of its evergreen hit, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
In the nine-month period that ended on September 30, 2019, the Polish company recorded €71.5 million in revenue, up 29% from €55.4 million in the same period last year.
The increase in revenue offset a steep increase in costs, which rose by around €10 million over the prior year to reach €24.3 million by the end of the reporting period.
Net profit for the period was €15.4 million, slightly down year-on-year from €16 million.
CD Projekt said that sales of The Witcher 3 was the primary contributor to its rising revenues, along with sales of the card game Gwent and its single-player offshoot, Thornbreaker: The Witcher Tales.
However, it also noted that sales of Gwent and Thornbreaker were weaker in Q3 than in the first two quarters. This is due to the latest expansion, Iron Judgement, shipping on October 2, just after the reporting period ended. The two previous expansions -- Crimson Curse and Novigrad -- had shipped in Q1 and Q2 respectively.
Indeed, the final quarter of the calendar year is set to be the strongest of all, due not only to Iron Judgement, but also the release of The Witcher 3 on Nintendo Switch on October 15, and the full launch of Gwent for iOS devices.
"We are greatly encouraged by [the] positive reception of both releases on the part of gamers, particularly taking into account the fact that we hadn't previously released any products for either hardware platform," said CD Projekt Red chief financial officer Piotr Nielubowicz.
"It is worth noting that, throughout the first three weeks following the launch of Gwent on iOS, 68% of revenues associated with this game came from iOS devices."
Adam Kiciński, CEO of the CD Projekt Capital Group, said that the focus in recent months has been "intensive work on Cyberpunk 2077."
"The game is undergoing tests, both internal and external, and we have also begun to localize its content into all supported languages," he said in a statement. "Our global promotional campaign continues apace."
The Witcher 3 passed 20 million lifetime sales in June this year. Cyberpunk 2077 is due to launch on April 16 next year.

1000 sats is next destination after this support level, I saw it on a TA chart

Markus07-May-19 10:46 AM
good one
i approve
u will help dump it?
jl777c07-May-19 10:49 AM
I wait until KMD is 1% of crypto marketcap before I sell my rewards, until then I am compounding
Malti07-May-19 10:51 AM
that's x14
Markus07-May-19 10:51 AM
@jl777c if u do TA what is your favourite indicator?
jl777c07-May-19 10:54 AM
TA is only one of many factors, clearly it cant be ignored. I have stared at market prices for so long, usually some specific number pops in my head, like $5600 the other day. I seem to be right more often than wrong, if being within some percentage of the prediction means i was correct
I recently found out about OBV, that seems a very promising indicator
but i dont like to spend time watching charts all day, so use a much more lazy method or comparable ratios
Markus07-May-19 10:55 AM
I think Pivots with fibonacci setting is quite useful if u want to have a idea where price could go incase it goes up or down
it can always go down 90%, can always go up 10x (used to be 100x)
Markus07-May-19 10:57 AM
Ye sure

Vbk 667
It’s like watching a train wreck
I can’t look away

jl777c07-May-19 12:44 PM
ive never seen a chart like VBK chart, it seems almost a straight line down, though occasional recovery but not for long. its almost as if there is something that is creating enormous sell pressure constantly
Hollowman900007-May-19 12:44 PM
komodo did this!
Aren’t the pop miners operating at almost 50% loss now?
jl777c07-May-19 12:45 PM
not sure if the cost changed from 1200 sats which is the last number i saw posted. is the BTC mempool less crowded
Hollowman900007-May-19 12:46 PM
Don’t know
Given the BTC price movement as of late I would assume “doubt”
jl777c07-May-19 12:51 PM
POP BITCOIN PCT
3.8 %
seems 90% reduced!
i think at 4% of all tx, its still more than 100x dPoW but at least it isnt thousands of times. maybe this level can be absorbed in the mempool, but a few more halvings to get it below 1% would be even better
@Hollowman9000 - they are tightnening the screws, this $hittrex account was fully verified, hadn't used it for almost two years, then sold & withdrew 5BTC from selling a few WAVES
... roll out the circus horses , wake up the trained poodles, seems $hittrex is falling over themselves in preparation of big brother crackdown..
they are located in Seattle iirc, so they want to make sure to be good doggies, always(edited)
Hollowman900007-May-19 02:57 PM
I will never use bittIRS again
What additional information did they request, @LocoMB
LocoMB07-May-19 03:00 PM
harharhar .. I don't know
they sent me a link to a 'questionnaire.pdf' , whichm when I followed it, sent me to their ticket support system, to which I was supposed to open an extra support account for
at that point I stopped even caring about what they wanted to know
Cryptoon07-May-19 03:02 PM
Wait so you were verified, and still closed it down?
LocoMB07-May-19 03:02 PM
like- WTF?!?! they can't even be bothered to give me access to the questions they have, and want to make me jump through hoops to even oblige their snoopiung??
no thank you
yeah, full yverified with a withdraw limit of .. not quite sure, 100 BTC per month or so
now on top of that they want to know the source of funds- 10000 measly WAVES I sold there for 5 BTC(edited)
Joseph Stiglitz, a Nobel-Prize winning economist, says cryptocurrencies should be shut down. Still, he sees the value in digital payments systems and supports electronic use of government-backed currencies like the dollar.
@LocoMB you don't live in the US, right ? If they really needed to know where those 10000 waves came from, they should have asked when you were depositing them...(edited)
LocoMB07-May-19 03:07 PM
brillant economics professor, knows all about money and the economy and how to steer it!
nope- Germany
btw, that asshole in the picture is a german demi- starlet who is not very well liked...
had his start in some daily soaps in the late 80's, then did a few cinema movies in Germany, then tried Hollywood and failed miserably
is cast as cheasy villain these days, total jerk
the 'Federal Republic of Germany' is so flummoxed by cryptos, they just treat it as 'virtual assets', so that if you hold it for longer than 12 months, any gain is tax free, which seems insanely liberal, but I have a hunch that it is simply because the taxmen are totally bamboozled by this new Blinkenlichten ...
so in spite of the real life $hitshow this place is rapidly turning into, this one aspect that is actually quite nioce over here(edited)
Alright07-May-19 03:13 PM
I think we can actually have a better regulated economy if we had all the data in real time, knowing what people are spending,” he says. he says this unironically
almost as if he's never looked at a BTC explorer
@Crabby Paddy it's 1:1 ZEX -> ZEX to a new 93/7 POS/POW chain(edited)
with reduced max supply to 100M
Hollowman900007-May-19 03:15 PM
@LocoMB so you just cut the loss of 5 btc
“What’s the source of your funds”
Cash -> BTC -> shitcoin on exchange that no longer exists -> other exchange for other a shitcoin That no longer exists -> dumped shitcoin that no longer exists into an ICO for another shitcoin that no longer exists -> traded that on a blockchain dex for another asset that got absorbed into an ICO -> moved that around a few addresses because I thought they were compromised at one point of another -> bittrex to dump(edited)
LocoMB07-May-19 03:19 PM
no, I was lucky- I got those 5 BTC without problem
Hollowman900007-May-19 03:19 PM
“We need records!”
Sorry buddy Cryptsy and mintpal and coinmarket.io no longer exist
LocoMB07-May-19 03:19 PM
maybe they have some dashing hot new AI that monitors accounts and flags those with long period oif inactivity as being in need of further ionvestigation
Hollowman900007-May-19 03:20 PM
“.. door kickers, you know what to do”
LocoMB07-May-19 03:20 PM
hahaha .. craptsy
way back in late 2015 when that shitshow went down, I had so much fun in that bitcointalk thread
Alright07-May-19 03:20 PM

LocoMB07-May-19 03:20 PM
they even dragged out big Verns divorce papers from court, and how his wife got the two cars and the house(edited)
Hollowman900007-May-19 03:21 PM
Where is he anyway
HK
LocoMB07-May-19 03:21 PM
ROFL .. never endding source of imagination
landed in some rice pot in Indochine.. maybe
hiding out in a burmese jungle plot, he discovered one of thae last feral head hunter tribes on the planet
Hollowman900007-May-19 03:22 PM
That’s the thing, if you’ve been in crypto long enough it would be an impossible task to try to “source” your funds
The USSA should just do some kind of “repatriation” amnesty if they really want people to come clean and declare assets
Threaten to burn people down and steal everything of theirs? They’ll just leave
LocoMB07-May-19 03:25 PM
I remember as a child we were going on holiday in hardcore communist Romania, they were quite welcoming to tourists with west money-
and then there was the 'official' exchange rate, and the street exchange rate, which was 10-20x better
highly forbidden for good socialist model citizens, but they did it anyway
I doubt that USSA authorities ever gain that much control over the 'Murica as the commies had over east europe(edited)
Hollowman900007-May-19 03:26 PM
They push harder and harder for it every day
Republicans and Democrats both
Leftist shitheads like AOC
Garbage men like McCain
They lay claim over your personal sovereignty
They can go neck themselves
LocoMB07-May-19 03:28 PM
I have a feeling these creeps are most active in the decaying western societies

I was raised in Brooklyn, New York. My family is from Ecuador; my father traveled here when he was 22, making me a first-generation citizen.
I spend most of my free time surrounded in academics; I like to read all types of novels, I read up on current events to stay updated, and I follow politics through all its branches. I found catharsis in poetry during my later years of high school and I have never looked back, though I don't write as much as I'd like to. I also found Ultimate Frisbee when I was in high school, an uncommon and little-known sport that has made me appreciate the unorthodox things in life.

1. Yardie Spice (Homestead, FL)
Yardie Spice stands out because it is has the most unassuming exterior with some of the best service and food you can get. It’s right off the street and it looks closed since it has really tinted windows. It is owned by a husband and wife, one of which is from Haiti and the other from Jamaica. The result is authentic, quality food that merges flavors and cooking styles from both countries and it is AMAZING. They have fresh juices that vary each week - don’t skip out on these, even if you don’t typically drink juices! The owner is very personable and will help you decide what to order. Just check out the glowing reviews on Yelp, that’s how we found out about them! They even made it on Yelp’s list of top 100 places to eat in 2018.
2. Robert Is Here Fruit Stand (Homestead, FL)
Right down the road from the Everglades is this unique gem. From the road, it looks like a large (and almost always busy) fruit stand. Once you walk in however, you realize it is much more than that! Behind the stand you can find an eclectic array of animals, old tractors, parts of crashed planes, and more. The stand itself is quite impressive, with exotic fruits claiming to taste like anything from chocolate pudding to cotton candy. You can get a chilled coconut to drink coconut water from, but what you shouldn’t leave without having is one of their milkshakes made from these various exotic fruits - although not cheap at $7 a pop, they are so delicious!
3. Los Potosinos Taqueria (Homestead, FL)
This is a taco truck we stumbled upon when we were planning to drive a bit further out from the Everglades for dinner. It’s permanently parked with picnic tables and a large outdoor covered area. It is super authentic food and seems to be very busy regularly. I would recommend the tacos over the other dishes though, as it seemed some of those were just frozen and heated up or fried.
4. Everglades Gator Grill (Homestead, FL)
We had only had gator one other time before visiting this place, and the gator bites we had that time were fried. These were grilled, and were really good! They have outdoor seating out of the small restaurant area, and it’s super casual. We were only able to go once, but I wanted to go back and try some of the other dishes. They have gator sandwiches, gator tacos, gator bites, gator kebabs…. Etc. If you’re interested in trying gator, or trying a new spin on gator then it’s definitely worth a stop.
5. Safe Harbor Seafood Market (Atlantic Beach, FL)
Nick and I both love seafood, and this place makes my mouth water just thinking about it. It’s a casual seafood restaurant that’s great for either lunch or dinner. They have a screened in porch area that overlooks the water where the fishing boats come in. The front of the building is the market where you can buy fresh seafood directly from them, and behind that is the restaurant. You could tell it was fresh! We came back for dinner after eating here once for lunch. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for seafood.
6. Poe’s Tavern (Atlantic Beach, FL)
We ate at Poe’s while staying in Jacksonville. It was such an interesting place! We didn’t expect for it to be so strongly themed with Edgar Allan Poe, but it was right down to the details. Instead of music playing in the bathrooms, you heard Poe’s writings over the speakers and the walls were filled with his words too. It’s mainly a burger joint, but they have many different unique burgers and you can order any of them as a chicken or veggie burger as well. Not to mention they have a great beer menu, and it was here I first tried my new favorite beer, Jai Alai from a brewery in Tampa, FL!
7. Steamers (Cedar Key, FL)
Speaking of seafood, Cedar Key is a part of the Big Bend Shellfish Trail and is one of the few stretches of coast in Florida that is dominated by tidal creeks and salt marshes instead of beaches. The water is also very clean, making it the perfect place for clam and oyster farming. If you go to Steamers and order any of their clam or oyster items on the menu, you won’t be disappointed. We also recommend the Gator bites!
8. Island Hotel & Restaurant/ Island Hotel Bar
The Restaurant
If you want the best-tasting food in Cedar Key, this is your place. It’s also the only white table cloth restaurant in the area so is perfect for a fancier date night. The food isn’t cheap, but it’s not crazy expensive either. You can find a range of prices and all the food is delicious.
The Bar
You can order the same food items you’d get at the restaurant at the bar as well! But in a much more laid-back atmosphere often with incredible live music. They also have some more affordable food options here that are daily specials which aren’t offered at the fancier restaurant. We came here twice before we left Cedar Key! Random Fact: There’s a cool painting above the bar which has a couple bullet holes in it apparently from a man in the 1960s who had a few too many drinks.
9. Low Key Hideaway (Cedar Key, FL)
Low Key Hideaway is the perfect place to have a drink and watch the sunset, talk to visitors and locals alike, and just relax. It is a part of the Low Key Hideway motel and RV park, and is one of the more popular places to visit while in Cedar Key. Everyone talks about this place! It’s funky, quirky, creative, and they often have great live music.
10. The Oar House (Cedar Key, FL)
During our month-long stay in Cedar Key, The Oar House opened as the new restaurant at Sunset Isle RV Park (where we were staying). The owners had moved to Cedar Key after deciding the typical 9 to 5 rat race corporate environment wasn’t for them. The restaurant was only serving breakfast and lunch while we were there since they were newly open but have since expanded to a dinner menu as well that sounds amazing! We went for breakfast multiple times and really enjoyed it. If they have the bacon hash (they have a different hash of the day), we highly recommend that one because that was the best breakfast either of us have ever had!!
11. 1842 Daily Grind & Mercantile (Cedar Key, FL)
This was the cutest coffee shop and lunch place! It was brightly decorated and had the nicest people working there. It can be a bit tough to catch it on an open day and time, but that's the nature of places in Cedar Key. Once we finally made it we really enjoyed the creative dishes they served out of the small kitchen and barista area. We were impressed! A nice touch was the old school record player as well, which workers would periodically have to flip over or switch out for a new record to keep the background tunes going.
12. Shrimp Boat (Valrico, FL)
This is a solid place for a laid back date night. It has a great atmosphere, great food, and great drinks. They have seafood that’s definitely not just fried and piled on your plate. They have creative dishes such as shanghai tuna over fried rice and ceviche as well as some more classic dishes. They have good portions and the food is plated pretty too which is a plus :) The prices are also reasonable!
13. Schooner Wharf Bar (Key West, FL)
I would dare to say this was our favorite place in Florida. They had a solid drink menu, great live music, a laid back outdoor atmosphere with great lighting, and it was the only touch of what people call “Old Key West” we could find left in the city. It’s right on the marina so you can walk around and see various yachts, charter fishing boats, and sail boats after you’ve stuffed yourself with their food. It’s served on disposable plates, but don’t let that fool you into thinking the food isn’t worthy of fancy dinnerware! We both got a ton of food and were raving about it. We would certainly go back and bring friends here when we came back to the Keys :)
14. Morita's Cuban Cafe (Cudjoe Key, FL)
We ate here after a morning of SCUBA diving so we were starving! It came highly recommended, but we should have gotten there earlier because the daily special apparently disappears almost as soon as it begins being served. It’s a family-owned little restaurant that is best for take-out because it consists of a kitchen area and a couple of outdoor picnic tables. We mixed and matched some tacos and stuffed ourselves a little too full. They were authentic, delicious, and really rich. If we had been here longer, we’d have tried to go back and get one of her daily specials before it ran out!
15. Caribbean Club (Key Largo, FL)
We stumbled on this place while looking for somewhere, anywhere, to watch the sunset in Key Largo. We were driving back up to the Everglades where the Airstream was parked and realized the sun would start setting soon. Thinking we’d find a little spot on the West coast of the Keys, we realized there were very few public spots like that! So we came into this place for a couple of beers and ended up staying and watching the boats come in from the dock for hours! It was relaxing and mesmerizing watching the sky change with the setting sun as boats pulled in to park for the night. Be forewarned though, this is a cash-only spot!
So there you have it. These are all the places we would go back to if we found ourselves in these areas again. And now my stomach is grumbling and my mouth is watering and I’m miles from any of these spots! So I’m gonna wrap this up and grab some ice cream from the freezer. Let us know if you have any other food or drink spots you love in Florida!


Responsive, asynchronous, content centric theme for Ghost. Very loosely based on Casper and inspired by my own WordPress theme Kontentista (also not quite finished). Built using modern web technologies and with a help of LESS preprocessor. Currently tested only on Webkit based browsers. But will be tuned up within days. Theme is not ready for prime time, since it contains lots and lots of bugs, links to my social networks and the code is far from tidy.

I am not very technical, would like to use encryption to share secrets and private information with encryption and need an easy, secure solution. This solution needs to use existing platforms, as I barely feel comfortable learning this encryption thing, and I would like it to integrate into email, facebook, twitter and all my existing internet things.
I am concerned about my privacy. With the scale of dragnet surveillance and corporations monitizing my livelyhood, I would like to keep the content of my messages and emails private.
I know how to use crypto and could write some software myself, so any solution that I would use needs to be verifiably secure, but I would like a tool to keep secrets that my parents can use.

BECAUSE of an hereditary recklessness, I have been playing always a losing game
since my childhood. During my grammar school days, I was once laid up for about
a week by jumping from the second story of the school building. Some may ask
why I committed such a rash act. There was no particular reason for doing such
a thing except I happened to be looking out into the yard from the second floor
of the newly-built school house, when one of my classmates, joking, shouted at me;
"Say, you big bluff, I'll bet you can't jump down from there! O, you chicken-heart,
ha, ha!" So I jumped down.
opaque content, e.g., video streaming widgets
I'll bet you can't jump down from there!
"Rather dull? See if they don't cut!" I retorted.

Outrage over killing of 'forest guardian' in Brazil's Amazon
SAO PAULO: Activists expressed outrage on Sunday (Nov 3) at the killing of an indigenous "guardian of the forest" in Brazil's Amazon and called on the government to thwart illegal loggers in the region.
Paulo Paulino Guajajara and another tribesman, Laercio Guajajara, were ambushed by loggers late Friday as they patrolled the Arariboia territory in the northeastern state of Maranhao.
Both men are members of the Guardians of the Forest, a group of more than 100 tribesmen who attempt to protect their land from criminal logging gangs.
Paulo Paulino was shot in the neck and died in the jungle, according to Survival International, a group that defends indigenous rights. Laercio was shot in the back but managed to escape.
The two men had left their village to look for water when the attack occurred, the Maranhao government's human rights secretariat said on Twitter.
"Violence and death threats against the guardians have been happening for years," Sarah Shenker, a researcher with Survival International who knew Paulo Paulino, told AFP.
"There is a lot of impunity. The authorities are unwilling to protect the indigenous lands," Shenker charged.

Greenpeace said the two men were "the most recent victims of a state that refuses to comply with what the constitution determines."
"It is time to stop this institutionalized genocide. Stop authorizing the bloodshed of our people!" Sonia Guajajara, coordinator of the Association of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil, said on Twitter.
'THEIR RESPONSIBILITY'
Since taking office in January, Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has been accused of harming the Amazon and indigenous tribes in order to benefit his supporters in the logging, mining and farming industries.
Amazon deforestation nearly doubled in the first eight months of the year, compared with the same period a year before. Raging fires in the region made international headlines.
In September, Human Rights Watch said the threats and attacks on forest defenders were "only getting worse" under Bolsonaro.
The group said the right-wing president's "assault on the country's environmental agencies is putting the rainforest and the people who live there at much greater risk."
Bolsonaro has vehemently defended his policies.
After the attacks on the forest guardians in Maranhao, Justice Minister Sergio Moro tweeted that police would investigate the murder, which took place some 500 kilometres from the state capital San Luis.
"We will do everything to bring those responsible for this serious crime before the courts," said Moro, a former federal judge.
Shenker, who was in the region in April, said they would hold Moro to his promise.
"The Brazilian government has to accept that it is their responsibility to protect those lands. That they do not, their absence there, is what pushes the guardians to assume this defense - a very hard and dangerous job," she told AFP.
In a video interview released by Survival International last year, Laercio said: "They want to kill us all."
The Arariboia territory is home to about 5,000 indigenous people - the Guajajara and the Awa.
Three other forest guardians have died in previous attacks there, Survival International said.
Brazil's National Indian Foundation, Funai, issued a statement lamenting the death of Paulo Paulino, and said it would send a special team of technical experts to the area.

The Java EE 7 Tutorial
45.3 The JMS API Programming Model
The basic building blocks of a JMS application are
-
Administered objects: connection factories and destinations
-
Connections
-
Sessions
-
JMSContext
objects, which combine a connection and a session in one object -
Message producers
-
Message consumers
-
Messages
Figure 45-5 shows how all these objects fit together in a JMS client application.
Figure 45-5 The JMS API Programming Model
Description of "Figure 45-5 The JMS API Programming Model"
JMS also provides queue browsers, objects that allow an application to browse messages on a queue.
This section describes all these objects briefly and provides sample commands and code snippets that show how to create and use the objects. The last subsection briefly describes JMS API exception handling.
Examples that show how to combine all these objects in applications appear in Chapter 46, "Java Message Service Examples," beginning with Writing Simple JMS Applications. For more detail, see the JMS API documentation, part of the Java EE API documentation.
45.3.1 JMS Administered Objects
Two parts of a JMS application, destinations and connection factories, are commonly maintained administratively rather than programmatically. The technology underlying these objects is likely to be very different from one implementation of the JMS API to another. Therefore, the management of these objects belongs with other administrative tasks that vary from provider to provider.
JMS clients access administered objects through interfaces that are portable, so a client application can run with little or no change on more than one implementation of the JMS API. Ordinarily, an administrator configures administered objects in a JNDI namespace, and JMS clients then access them by using resource injection.
With GlassFish Server, you can use the asadmin create-jms-resource
command or the Administration Console to create JMS administered objects in the form of connector resources. You can also specify the resources in a file named glassfish-resources.xml
that you can bundle with an application.
NetBeans IDE provides a wizard that allows you to create JMS resources for GlassFish Server. See Creating JMS Administered Objects for details.
The Java EE platform specification allows a developer to create administered objects using annotations or deployment descriptor elements. Objects created in this way are specific to the application for which they are created. See Creating Resources for Java EE Applications for details. Definitions in a deployment descriptor override those specified by annotations.
<IP_ADDRESS> JMS Connection Factories
A connection factory is the object a client uses to create a connection to a provider. A connection factory encapsulates a set of connection configuration parameters that has been defined by an administrator. Each connection factory is an instance of the ConnectionFactory
, QueueConnectionFactory
, or TopicConnectionFactory
interface. To learn how to create connection factories, see Creating JMS Administered Objects.
At the beginning of a JMS client program, you usually inject a connection factory resource into a ConnectionFactory
object. A Java EE server must provide a JMS connection factory with the logical JNDI name java:comp/DefaultJMSConnectionFactory
. The actual JNDI name will be implementation-specific.
For example, the following code fragment looks up the default JMS connection factory and assigns it to a ConnectionFactory
object:
@Resource(lookup = "java:comp/DefaultJMSConnectionFactory") private static ConnectionFactory connectionFactory;
<IP_ADDRESS> JMS Destinations
A destination is the object a client uses to specify the target of messages it produces and the source of messages it consumes. In the PTP messaging style, destinations are called queues. In the pub/sub messaging style, destinations are called topics. A JMS application can use multiple queues or topics (or both). To learn how to create destination resources, see Creating JMS Administered Objects.
To create a destination using GlassFish Server, you create a JMS destination resource that specifies a JNDI name for the destination.
In the GlassFish Server implementation of JMS, each destination resource refers to a physical destination. You can create a physical destination explicitly, but if you do not, the Application Server creates it when it is needed and deletes it when you delete the destination resource.
In addition to injecting a connection factory resource into a client program, you usually inject a destination resource. Unlike connection factories, destinations are specific to either the PTP or pub/sub messaging style. To create an application that allows you to use the same code for both topics and queues, you assign the destination to a Destination
object.
The following code specifies two resources, a queue and a topic. The resource names are mapped to destination resources created in the JNDI namespace:
@Resource(lookup = "jms/MyQueue") private static Queue queue; @Resource(lookup = "jms/MyTopic") private static Topic topic;
In a Java EE application, JMS administered objects are normally placed in the jms
naming subcontext.
With the common interfaces, you can mix or match connection factories and destinations. That is, in addition to using the ConnectionFactory
interface, you can inject a QueueConnectionFactory
resource and use it with a Topic
, and you can inject a TopicConnectionFactory
resource and use it with a Queue
. The behavior of the application will depend on the kind of destination you use and not on the kind of connection factory you use.
45.3.2 Connections
A connection encapsulates a virtual connection with a JMS provider. For example, a connection could represent an open TCP/IP socket between a client and a provider service daemon. You use a connection to create one or more sessions.
|
Note: In the Java EE platform, the ability to create multiple sessions from a single connection is limited to application clients. In web and enterprise bean components, a connection can create no more than one session. |
You normally create a connection by creating a JMSContext
object. See JMSContext Objects for details.
45.3.3 Sessions
A session is a single-threaded context for producing and consuming messages.
You normally create a session (as well as a connection) by creating a JMSContext
object. See JMSContext Objects for details. You use sessions to create message producers, message consumers, messages, queue browsers, and temporary destinations.
Sessions serialize the execution of message listeners; for details, see JMS Message Listeners.
A session provides a transactional context with which to group a set of sends and receives into an atomic unit of work. For details, see Using JMS Local Transactions.
45.3.4 JMSContext Objects
A JMSContext
object combines a connection and a session in a single object. That is, it provides both an active connection to a JMS provider and a single-threaded context for sending and receiving messages.
You use the JMSContext
to create the following objects:
-
Message producers
-
Message consumers
-
Messages
-
Queue browsers
-
Temporary queues and topics (see Creating Temporary Destinations)
You can create a JMSContext
in a try
-with-resources block.
To create a JMSContext
, call the createContext
method on the connection factory:
JMSContext context = connectionFactory.createContext();
When called with no arguments from an application client or a Java SE client, or from the Java EE web or EJB container when there is no active JTA transaction in progress, the createContext
method creates a non-transacted session with an acknowledgment mode of JMSContext.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE
. When called with no arguments from the web or EJB container when there is an active JTA transaction in progress, the createContext
method creates a transacted session. For information about the way JMS transactions work in Java EE applications, see Using the JMS API in Java EE Applications.
From an application client or a Java SE client, you can also call the createContext
method with the argument JMSContext.SESSION_TRANSACTED
to create a transacted session:
JMSContext context = connectionFactory.createContext(JMSContext.SESSION_TRANSACTED);
The session uses local transactions; see Using JMS Local Transactions for details.
Alternatively, you can specify a non-default acknowledgment mode; see Controlling Message Acknowledgment for more information.
When you use a JMSContext
, message delivery normally begins as soon as you create a consumer. See JMS Message Consumers for more information.
If you create a JMSContext
in a try
-with-resources block, you do not need to close it explicitly. It will be closed when the try
block comes to an end. Make sure that your application completes all its JMS activity within the try
-with-resources block. If you do not use a try
-with-resources block, you must call the close
method on the JMSContext
to close the connection when the application has finished its work.
45.3.5 JMS Message Producers
A message producer is an object that is created by a JMSContext
or a session and used for sending messages to a destination. A message producer created by a JMSContext
implements the JMSProducer
interface. You could create it this way:
try (JMSContext context = connectionFactory.createContext();) { JMSProducer producer = context.createProducer(); ...
However, a JMSProducer
is a lightweight object that does not consume significant resources. For this reason, you do not need to save the JMSProducer
in a variable; you can create a new one each time you send a message. You send messages to a specific destination by using the send
method. For example:
context.createProducer().send(dest, message);
You can create the message in a variable before sending it, as shown here, or you can create it within the send
call. See JMS Messages for more information.
45.3.6 JMS Message Consumers
A message consumer is an object that is created by a JMSContext
or a session and used for receiving messages sent to a destination. A message producer created by a JMSContext
implements the JMSConsumer
interface. The simplest way to create a message consumer is to use the JMSContext.createConsumer
method:
try (JMSContext context = connectionFactory.createContext();) { JMSConsumer consumer = context.createConsumer(dest); ...
A message consumer allows a JMS client to register interest in a destination with a JMS provider. The JMS provider manages the delivery of messages from a destination to the registered consumers of the destination.
When you use a JMSContext
to create a message consumer, message delivery begins as soon as you have created the consumer. You can disable this behavior by calling setAutoStart(false)
when you create the JMSContext
and then calling the start
method explicitly to start message delivery. If you want to stop message delivery temporarily without closing the connection, you can call the stop
method; to restart message delivery, call start
.
You use the receive
method to consume a message synchronously. You can use this method at any time after you create the consumer.
If you specify no arguments or an argument of 0
, the method blocks indefinitely until a message arrives:
Message m = consumer.receive(); Message m = consumer.receive(0);
For a simple client, this may not matter. But if it is possible that a message might not be available, use a synchronous receive with a timeout: Call the receive
method with a timeout argument greater than 0
. One second is a recommended timeout value:
Message m = consumer.receive(1000); // time out after a second
To enable asynchronous message delivery from an application client or a Java SE client, you use a message listener, as described in the next section.
You can use the JMSContext.createDurableConsumer
method to create a durable topic subscription. This method is valid only if you are using a topic. For details, see Creating Durable Subscriptions. For topics, you can also create shared consumers; see Creating Shared Subscriptions.
<IP_ADDRESS> JMS Message Listeners
A message listener is an object that acts as an asynchronous event handler for messages. This object implements the MessageListener
interface, which contains one method, onMessage
. In the onMessage
method, you define the actions to be taken when a message arrives.
From an application client or a Java SE client, you register the message listener with a specific message consumer by using the setMessageListener
method. For example, if you define a class named Listener
that implements the MessageListener
interface, you can register the message listener as follows:
Listener myListener = new Listener(); consumer.setMessageListener(myListener);
When message delivery begins, the JMS provider automatically calls the message listener's onMessage
method whenever a message is delivered. The onMessage
method takes one argument of type Message
, which your implementation of the method can cast to another message subtype as needed (see Message Bodies).
In the Java EE web or EJB container, you use message-driven beans for asynchronous message delivery. A message-driven bean also implements the MessageListener
interface and contains an onMessage
method. For details, see Using Message-Driven Beans to Receive Messages Asynchronously.
Your onMessage
method should handle all exceptions. Throwing a RuntimeException
is considered a programming error.
For a simple example of the use of a message listener, see Using a Message Listener for Asynchronous Message Delivery. Chapter 46, "Java Message Service Examples," contains several more examples of message listeners and message-driven beans.
<IP_ADDRESS> JMS Message Selectors
If your messaging application needs to filter the messages it receives, you can use a JMS message selector, which allows a message consumer for a destination to specify the messages that interest it. Message selectors assign the work of filtering messages to the JMS provider rather than to the application. For an example of an application that uses a message selector, see Sending Messages from a Session Bean to an MDB.
A message selector is a String
that contains an expression. The syntax of the expression is based on a subset of the SQL92 conditional expression syntax. The message selector in the example selects any message that has a NewsType
property that is set to the value 'Sports'
or 'Opinion'
:
NewsType = 'Sports' OR NewsType = 'Opinion'
The createConsumer
and createDurableConsumer
methods, as well as the methods for creating shared consumers, allow you to specify a message selector as an argument when you create a message consumer.
The message consumer then receives only messages whose headers and properties match the selector. (See Message Headers and Message Properties.) A message selector cannot select messages on the basis of the content of the message body.
<IP_ADDRESS> Consuming Messages from Topics
The semantics of consuming messages from topics are more complex than the semantics of consuming messages from queues.
An application consumes messages from a topic by creating a subscription on that topic and creating a consumer on that subscription. Subscriptions may be durable or nondurable, and they may be shared or unshared.
A subscription may be thought of as an entity within the JMS provider itself, whereas a consumer is a JMS object within the application.
A subscription will receive a copy of every message that is sent to the topic after the subscription is created, unless a message selector is specified. If a message selector is specified, only those messages whose properties match the message selector will be added to the subscription.
Unshared subscriptions are restricted to a single consumer. In this case, all the messages in the subscription are delivered to that consumer. Shared subscriptions allow multiple consumers. In this case, each message in the subscription is delivered to only one consumer. JMS does not define how messages are distributed between multiple consumers on the same subscription.
Subscriptions may be durable or nondurable.
A nondurable subscription exists only as long as there is an active consumer on the subscription. This means that any messages sent to the topic will be added to the subscription only while a consumer exists and is not closed.
A nondurable subscription may be either unshared or shared.
-
An unshared nondurable subscription does not have a name and may have only a single consumer object associated with it. It is created automatically when the consumer object is created. It is not persisted and is deleted automatically when the consumer object is closed.
The
JMSContext.createConsumer
method creates a consumer on an unshared nondurable subscription if a topic is specified as the destination. -
A shared nondurable subscription is identified by name and an optional client identifier, and may have several consumer objects consuming messages from it. It is created automatically when the first consumer object is created. It is not persisted and is deleted automatically when the last consumer object is closed. See Creating Shared Subscriptions for more information.
At the cost of higher overhead, a subscription may be durable. A durable subscription is persisted and continues to accumulate messages until explicitly deleted, even if there are no consumer objects consuming messages from it. See Creating Durable Subscriptions for details.
<IP_ADDRESS> Creating Durable Subscriptions
To ensure that a pub/sub application receives all sent messages, use durable subscriptions for the consumers on the topic.
Like a nondurable subscription, a durable subscription may be either unshared or shared.
-
An unshared durable subscription is identified by name and client identifier (which must be set) and may have only a single consumer object associated with it.
-
A shared durable subscription is identified by name and an optional client identifier, and may have several consumer objects consuming messages from it.
A durable subscription that exists but that does not currently have a non-closed consumer object associated with it is described as being inactive.
You can use the JMSContext.createDurableConsumer
method to create a consumer on an unshared durable subscription. An unshared durable subscription can have only one active consumer at a time.
A consumer identifies the durable subscription from which it consumes messages by specifying a unique identity that is retained by the JMS provider. Subsequent consumer objects that have the same identity resume the subscription in the state in which it was left by the preceding consumer. If a durable subscription has no active consumer, the JMS provider retains the subscription's messages until they are received by the subscription or until they expire.
You establish the unique identity of an unshared durable subscription by setting the following:
-
A client ID for the connection
-
A topic and a subscription name for the subscription
You can set the client ID administratively for a client-specific connection factory using either the command line or the Administration Console. (In an application client or a Java SE client, you can instead call JMSContext.setClientID
.)
After using this connection factory to create the JMSContext
, you call the createDurableConsumer
method with two arguments: the topic and a string that specifies the name of the subscription:
String subName = "MySub"; JMSConsumer consumer = context.createDurableConsumer(myTopic, subName);
The subscription becomes active after you create the consumer. Later, you might close the consumer:
consumer.close();
The JMS provider stores the messages sent to the topic, as it would store messages sent to a queue. If the program or another application calls createDurableConsumer
using the same connection factory and its client ID, the same topic, and the same subscription name, then the subscription is reactivated and the JMS provider delivers the messages that were sent while the subscription was inactive.
To delete a durable subscription, first close the consumer, then call the unsubscribe
method with the subscription name as the argument:
consumer.close(); context.unsubscribe(subName);
The unsubscribe
method deletes the state the provider maintains for the subscription.
Figure 45-6 and Figure 45-7 show the difference between a nondurable and a durable subscription. With an ordinary, nondurable subscription, the consumer and the subscription begin and end at the same point and are, in effect, identical. When the consumer is closed, the subscription also ends. Here, create
stands for a call to JMSContext.createConsumer
with a Topic
argument, and close
stands for a call to JMSConsumer.close
. Any messages sent to the topic between the time of the first close
and the time of the second create
are not added to either subscription. In Figure 45-6, the consumers receive messages M1, M2, M5, and M6, but they do not receive messages M3 and M4.
Figure 45-6 Nondurable Subscriptions and Consumers
Description of "Figure 45-6 Nondurable Subscriptions and Consumers"
With a durable subscription, the consumer can be closed and re-created, but the subscription continues to exist and to hold messages until the application calls the unsubscribe
method. In Figure 45-7, create
stands for a call to JMSContext.createDurableConsumer
, close
stands for a call to JMSConsumer.close
, and unsubscribe
stands for a call to JMSContext.unsubscribe
. Messages sent after the first consumer is closed are received when the second consumer is created (on the same durable subscription), so even though messages M2, M4, and M5 arrive while there is no consumer, they are not lost.
Figure 45-7 Consumers on a Durable Subscription
Description of "Figure 45-7 Consumers on a Durable Subscription"
A shared durable subscription allows you to use multiple consumers to receive messages from a durable subscription. If you use a shared durable subscription, the connection factory you use does not need to have a client identifier. To create a shared durable subscription, call the JMSContext.createSharedDurableConsumer
method, specifying the topic and subscription name:
JMSConsumer consumer = context.createSharedDurableConsumer(topic, "MakeItLast");
See Acknowledging Messages, Using Durable Subscriptions, Using Shared Durable Subscriptions, and Sending Messages from a Session Bean to an MDB for examples of Java EE applications that use durable subscriptions.
<IP_ADDRESS> Creating Shared Subscriptions
A topic subscription created by the createConsumer
or createDurableConsumer
method can have only one consumer (although a topic can have many). Multiple clients consuming from the same topic have, by definition, multiple subscriptions to the topic, and all the clients receive all the messages sent to the topic (unless they filter them with message selectors).
It is, however, possible to create a nondurable shared subscription to a topic by using the createSharedConsumer
method and specifying not only a destination but a subscription name:
consumer = context.createSharedConsumer(topicName, "SubName");
With a shared subscription, messages will be distributed among multiple clients that use the same topic and subscription name. Each message sent to the topic will be added to every subscription (subject to any message selectors), but each message added to a subscription will be delivered to only one of the consumers on that subscription, so it will be received by only one of the clients. A shared subscription can be useful if you want to share the message load among several consumers on the subscription rather than having just one consumer on the subscription receive each message. This feature can improve the scalability of Java EE application client applications and Java SE applications. (Message-driven beans share the work of processing messages from a topic among multiple threads.)
See Using Shared Nondurable Subscriptions for a simple example of using shared nondurable consumers.
You can also create shared durable subscriptions by using the JMSContext.createSharedDurableConsumer
method. For details, see Creating Durable Subscriptions.
45.3.7 JMS Messages
The ultimate purpose of a JMS application is to produce and consume messages that can then be used by other software applications. JMS messages have a basic format that is simple but highly flexible, allowing you to create messages that match formats used by non-JMS applications on heterogeneous platforms.
A JMS message can have three parts: a header, properties, and a body. Only the header is required. The following sections describe these parts.
For complete documentation of message headers, properties, and bodies, see the documentation of the Message
interface in the API documentation. For a list of possible message types, see Message Bodies.
<IP_ADDRESS> Message Headers
A JMS message header contains a number of predefined fields that contain values used by both clients and providers to identify and route messages. Table 45-1 lists and describes the JMS message header fields and indicates how their values are set. For example, every message has a unique identifier, which is represented in the header field JMSMessageID
. The value of another header field, JMSDestination
, represents the queue or the topic to which the message is sent. Other fields include a timestamp and a priority level.
Each header field has associated setter and getter methods, which are documented in the description of the Message
interface. Some header fields are intended to be set by a client, but many are set automatically by the send
method, which overrides any client-set values.
Table 45-1 How JMS Message Header Field Values Are Set
| Header Field | Description | Set By |
|---|---|---|
|
Destination to which the message is being sent |
JMS provider |
|
|
Delivery mode specified when the message was sent (see Specifying Message Persistence) |
JMS provider |
|
|
The time the message was sent plus the delivery delay specified when the message was sent (see Specifying a Delivery Delay |
JMS provider |
|
|
Expiration time of the message (see Allowing Messages to Expire) |
JMS provider |
|
|
The priority of the message (see Setting Message Priority Levels) |
JMS provider |
|
|
Value that uniquely identifies each message sent by a provider |
JMS provider |
|
|
The time the message was handed off to a provider to be sent |
JMS provider |
|
|
Value that links one message to another; commonly the |
Client application |
|
|
Destination where replies to the message should be sent |
Client application |
|
|
Type identifier supplied by client application |
Client application |
|
|
Whether the message is being redelivered |
JMS provider prior to delivery |
<IP_ADDRESS> Message Properties
You can create and set properties for messages if you need values in addition to those provided by the header fields. You can use properties to provide compatibility with other messaging systems, or you can use them to create message selectors (see JMS Message Selectors). For an example of setting a property to be used as a message selector, see Sending Messages from a Session Bean to an MDB.
The JMS API provides some predefined property names that begin with JMSX
. A JMS provider is required to implement only one of these, JMSXDeliveryCount
(which specifies the number of times a message has been delivered); the rest are optional. The use of these predefined properties or of user-defined properties in applications is optional.
<IP_ADDRESS> Message Bodies
The JMS API defines six different types of messages. Each message type corresponds to a different message body. These message types allow you to send and receive data in many different forms. Table 45-2 describes these message types.
Table 45-2 JMS Message Types
| Message Type | Body Contains |
|---|---|
|
A |
|
|
A set of name-value pairs, with names as |
|
|
A stream of uninterpreted bytes. This message type is for literally encoding a body to match an existing message format. |
|
|
A stream of primitive values in the Java programming language, filled and read sequentially. |
|
|
A |
|
|
Nothing. Composed of header fields and properties only. This message type is useful when a message body is not required. |
The JMS API provides methods for creating messages of each type and for filling in their contents. For example, to create and send a TextMessage
, you might use the following statements:
TextMessage message = context.createTextMessage(); message.setText(msg_text); // msg_text is a String context.createProducer().send(message);
At the consuming end, a message arrives as a generic Message
object. You can then cast the object to the appropriate message type and use more specific methods to access the body and extract the message contents (and its headers and properties if needed). For example, you might use the stream-oriented read methods of BytesMessage
. You must always cast to the appropriate message type to retrieve the body of a StreamMessage
.
Instead of casting the message to a message type, you can call the getBody
method on the Message
, specifying the type of the message as an argument. For example, you can retrieve a TextMessage
as a String
. The following code fragment uses the getBody
method:
Message m = consumer.receive(); if (m instanceof TextMessage) { String message = m.getBody(String.class); System.out.println("Reading message: " + message); } else { // Handle error or process another message type }
The JMS API provides shortcuts for creating and receiving a TextMessage
, BytesMessage
, MapMessage
, or ObjectMessage
. For example, you do not have to wrap a string in a TextMessage
; instead, you can send and receive the string directly. For example, you can send a string as follows:
String message = "This is a message"; context.createProducer().send(dest, message);
You can receive the message by using the receiveBody
method:
String message = receiver.receiveBody(String.class);
You can use the receiveBody
method to receive any type of message except StreamMessage
and Message
, as long as the body of the message can be assigned to a particular type.
An empty Message
can be useful if you want to send a message that is simply a signal to the application. Some of the examples in Chapter 46, "Java Message Service Examples," send an empty message after sending a series of text messages. For example:
context.createProducer().send(dest, context.createMessage());
The consumer code can then interpret a non-text message as a signal that all the messages sent have now been received.
The examples in Chapter 46, "Java Message Service Examples," use messages of type TextMessage
, MapMessage
, and Message
.
45.3.8 JMS Queue Browsers
Messages sent to a queue remain in the queue until the message consumer for that queue consumes them. The JMS API provides a QueueBrowser
object that allows you to browse the messages in the queue and display the header values for each message. To create a QueueBrowser
object, use the JMSContext.createBrowser
method. For example:
QueueBrowser browser = context.createBrowser(queue);
See Browsing Messages on a Queue for an example of using a QueueBrowser
object.
The createBrowser
method allows you to specify a message selector as a second argument when you create a QueueBrowser
. For information on message selectors, see JMS Message Selectors.
The JMS API provides no mechanism for browsing a topic. Messages usually disappear from a topic as soon as they appear: If there are no message consumers to consume them, the JMS provider removes them. Although durable subscriptions allow messages to remain on a topic while the message consumer is not active, JMS does not define any facility for examining them.
45.3.9 JMS Exception Handling
The root class for all checked exceptions in the JMS API is JMSException
. The root cause for all unchecked exceptions in the JMS API is JMSRuntimeException
.
Catching JMSException
and JMSRuntimeException
provides a generic way of handling all exceptions related to the JMS API.
The JMSException
and JMSRuntimeException
classes include the following subclasses, described in the API documentation:
-
IllegalStateException
,IllegalStateRuntimeException
-
InvalidClientIDException
,InvalidClientIDRuntimeException
-
InvalidDestinationException
,InvalidDestinationRuntimeException
-
InvalidSelectorException
,InvalidSelectorRuntimeException
-
JMSSecurityException
,JMSSecurityRuntimeException
-
MessageEOFException
-
MessageFormatException
,MessageFormatRuntimeException
-
MessageNotReadableException
-
MessageNotWriteableException
,MessageNotWriteableRuntimeException
-
ResourceAllocationException
,ResourceAllocationRuntimeException
-
TransactionInProgressException
,TransactionInProgressRuntimeException
-
TransactionRolledBackException
,TransactionRolledBackRuntimeException
All the examples in the tutorial catch and handle JMSException
or JMSRuntimeException
when it is appropriate to do so.


Scottish Fairy and Folk Tales, by George Douglas, [1901], at sacred-texts.com
THE following is an account of a fairy frolic said to have happened late in the last century:--The victim of elfin sport was a poor man, who, being employed
in pulling heather upon Peatlaw, a hill in Selkirkshire, had tired of his labour, and laid him down to sleep upon a fairy ring. When he awakened, he was amazed to find himself in the midst of a populous city, to which, as well as to the means of his transportation, he was an utter stranger. His coat was left upon the Peatlaw; and his bonnet, which had fallen off in the course of his aërial journey, was afterwards found hanging upon the steeple of the church of Lanark. The distress of the poor man was, in some degree, relieved by meeting a carrier, whom he had formerly known, and who conducted him back to Selkirk, by a slower conveyance than had whirled him to Glasgow. That he had been carried off by the fairies was implicitly believed by all who did not reflect that a man may have private reasons for leaving his own country, and for disguising his having intentionally done so.
127:1 Sir Walter Scott, Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border.

Some nice power user features. These are unpolished and unrestricted features that can do great things, and shoot you in the foot really hard.


As with most posts I shall start with a tad of background information. I am not a newbie to salvia by any means. About 7-8 months ago I caught wind of this 'legal drug' that supposively worked, so I had to check it out. I bought a pretty weak G from a local head shop and tested it out and got the usual Salvia effects. I felt like I was part of whatever I was sitting on, the whole room would seem like I was looking at it in another dimension, people on TV I thought were talking directly to me. And I also had that wonderful self conscious feeling that salvia gives me, worried that the world is looking at me like some sort of mental patient or something.
I continued to use it, bought a few more G's off the internet, introduced it to almost everyone I know. I then had the trip of my life, where salvia took me far away up in the sky and let me look down at myself, and voices were surrounding me. It was the closest to heaven I have ever been. It became a good 'once in awhile thing' but I realized that my trips didn't seem very strong anymore. Often times I just felt uncomfortable and no visuals or distortions at all, I could not achieve that strong of a trip again, so I gave all my salvia away and said good riddence.
2 months later I got reaquainted with an old friend and happened to tell him about it, and salvia once again became part of my life, in a very big way. We bought a G of 20x from the headshop, looked and smelled pretty damn potent so I couldn't wait to give it a try. I had just popped a xanex for my anxiety and smoked a blunt, so I was pretty high before things got underway. He then handed me the bong packed full of salvia and I was happy I could be reaquainted with my old friend.
He turned out the lights, and all I could see was the glowing stars on the ceiling. The room was silent minus the bubbling of the fish tank. I lit the bowl and couldn't really tell how much smoke I was getting because of the dark, but I inhaled until I couldn't anymore. I set the bong on the floor and leaned back in the recliner awaiting the effects. I looked up at the stars and when I saw them moving a tad I exhaled. I closed my eyes to see if I was getting any fractile visuals, the ones where I feel like I'm a part of something huge, spinning around. I remember catching a glimpse of them and like a flash I was gone.
I have had insanely hard salvia trips where everything in the room I'm in gets so distorted it seems like another world completely, but this time I was indeed in another world. I remember looking at myself, in this insanely beautiful place, full of vibrant colors. And I really would love to explain how beautiful it was, but there is no earthly words to describe it. I was in a place that my imagination could never have came up with. I was beyond this world, above this world, in a place so stunning I could only call it heaven.
I had alot on my mind that day prior to trying it, a really bad tooth ache, a migrane, and my lungs were really hurting me (hince why I took the xanex) and I saw the pain leaving my head, mouth, and chest.  I was completely at peace, in a happy and tranquil state that I have never felt before in my entire life. Many trips have made me feel like im a part of something bigger, but this time I felt free, so free.
The sound of the fishtank began ringing throughout the world. I knew I had heard it before but I didn't know where. I ran towards the sound, and what happened next is almost impossible to explain. I felt myself crawling through a tunnel, towards the sound, and when I reached the top I peered out and saw the living room in which I was seated. I hid in the tunnel, scared, not knowing what to do. Finally I made the ascent and climbed into my body, and for the first time ever I came down without worrying about what everyone was thinking, I was still at peace.
For the next couple minutes I was sitting there, and I kept slowly sinking back into that tunnel, and had to keep pulling myself back to reality. I wish I was more aware at the time, for I would have returned to that world if given the choice, for nothing on this planet could ever compare to the pure beauty I saw. I feel knowledgable now, as if I have found a place very few will ever get a chance to see, and feel sorry for all of those who haven't been there.
 Right before I came back he said he saw something move in front of my body, a shadow, a black portrait, his girlfriend saw it as well. Whether it was them being stonned or lying, a being watching over me, or my soul returning to my body I do not know. All I know is that night will live on inside me forever.
I do want to try salvia again, though I fear I will never return to that heavenly world, and anything less than that will be unsatisfactory.

His Dark Materials: 5 questions after Lyra's adventures take unexpected turn
Lyra (Dafne Keen) has been dealt a hell of a lot of problems ever since leaving Jordan College in Oxford and heading with Mrs Coulter (Ruth Wilson) to London in His Dark Materials.
But today might have been the hardest one yet, as it becomes clear that danger is going to follow Lyra wherever she goes, no matter how hard she tries to escape.
Not only that, the people who have meant to be looking after her this whole time have well and truly dropped the ball – and might even be in the running to be worst parents ever.
(Honestly…apart from the Gyptians, adults in this world are the actual worst.)
But with another week down, there’s still a hell of a lot to uncover, and now we know how the alethiometer works, and the story heads North, we know it’s going to get interesting.
Advertisement Advertisement
Here’s everything we need to know the answers to next episode…
What exactly are the Gobblers doing with the kids?
We know that Coulter has come up with a plan of constantly moving them around to avoid detection…but we can’t help but feel the actual purpose of stealing them in the first place is a little lost in translation.
It may have been mentioned last episode, but if it was it was fleetingly, and now we’re scratching our heads wondering exactly why the kids were stolen and what they’re doing while they’re in captivity.
We’re going to need this answered soon, seeing as we’re going to want to get Roger back and he’s been missing since the first episode.
Who is Colonel John Parry?
Presumed dead about 13 years ago, supporting ‘an environmental thing in Alaska’, it doesn’t take a genius to know that Colonel John Parry is a man to take note of.
For starters, he’s being played by Andrew Scott – and you don’t just check him in as a photo cameo, especially considering that we already knew he was becoming a full-time cast member.
When he disappeared, the commando left behind a wife and a child. A wife whose medical records reveal a long history of mental health problems.
So what was he up to that was so important he needed to leave? Or is he just a guy that had had enough and done a runner?
Why is Lyra so important?
Advertisement Advertisement
We know she’s part of a prophecy, and we know that after years of thinking her parents were dead, she discovered the much sadder fact that they were just liars.
It was also forewarned she was going to have to betray Lord Asriel (James McAvoy).
But everyone seems to know something about her that they shouldn’t know, and she’s (very rightly) struggling to trust anyone at this point.
So why is she so important, and why has it decided to trigger now?

Seriously, he has been the worst.
Going off to investigate Dust, he caused so much trouble just by his appearance in Oxford and then buggered off again for everyone else to deal with.
We know he’s meant to be discovering things or whatever, but he’s basically coming across as a responsibility dodging, cold hearted menace at this point.
Every time he’s appeared in Lyra’s life it’s ended in disaster, but surely even he’s not aware how much he’s messed up this time.
Don’t be waiting for a phone call from Father of the Year, will you mate?
What does Coulter want with Lyra?
Coulter’s not exactly the nicest person in the world and now it turns out to add insult to injury she’s Lyra’s mother as well.
Honestly, how this girl has not just rage quit the entire area is beyond us, considering the amount of secrets about her people are hiding.
Advertisement
But the problem with it all is, while she apparently turned cold after having the affair that resulted in Lyra, she’s downright evil now.
She seems to be hellbent on killing Lyra, or at least stopping her doing something in someway, and is taking down anyone who suggests otherwise.
Seriously, what’s your damage Coulter? And why is Lyra so important to whatever scheme you’re cooking up?
His Dark Materials continues Sundays at 8pm on BBC One.

Magical Item: A cursed pair of eye goggles that is used to steal the eyes of creatures. It doubles as a torture device due to its method of extracting them.
Summary
- Attacks creatures within 30 feet.
- 1/rnd do a Ref 20 or be forced to wear them.
- Concentration 16 or launch an eye every 10rnds.
- When shapeshifting with eyes, you get its abilities.
- Takes up the Headband slot.
- Cursed Item: Can't be taken off
Extraction
Any creature wearing these goggles will see red marks appearing over everything they focus on. The more they focus on something the brighter the mark on it. The less they focus, the darker (or non-existent) the mark.
If a creature focuses on something for too long they feel some pressure build up behind their eyes, until, the eye is popped out of its socket, and launched towards the targeted mark.
When an eye is launched, a hard protective case is build up around it in the shape of a cylindrical glass container, a Stasis Glass. The eye is held in a stasis field which prevents any damage unless the container itself is opened.
How it's Used
The Goggles are attracted to any creature with eyes that is within 1 size category of its size. When within 30 feet of such a creature they fly at their eyes, attaching themselves. The target gets a Reflex Save (DC: 20) to block, though the goggles will keep trying 1/rnd. Every 10rnds hereafter the target will need to do a concentration check (DC: 16) to not focus too much (and launch 1 eye).
The Goggles are considered a Headband magical item, thus preventing you from using any goggles, eye glasses or other such items.
The Goggles are considered a cursed item for the sake of getting them off, thus Remove Curse will make them fall off, after which they will take 1d10 rnds to recover (launching one of their eyes on failure).
The Goggles are usually encountered as a stranded item, acting like a trap. However in reality these Goggles are used to collect Mystic Eyes, thus there is a way to control them. The Goggles are created with a small container to hold them. The container has an arcane symbol to press when you need to stop the goggles from attacking things, and another to get them to start up again.
Stasis Glass
Any eye in a Stasis Glass can't get any damage until the container breaks. This makes it the best way to store eyes until you have a need for them.
Due to a quirk in its production any shapeshifting while holding an eye grants the user that eye. This takes up the Headband slot, preventing any other magic items from functioning. You can have as many eye changes as is available to your current form, thought this is mandatory. Using this you can change eye colour, shape and other such details. If you hold more eyes than your form has, you get to choose which ones work (or roll for randomness).
- Hardness: 15
- HP: 20
- Aura: Strong Transmutation
When the Stasis glass is broken, it disappears, but the contents fall out (and are probably ruined)
