NAME
EXPLAIN - show the execution plan of a statementSYNOPSIS
EXPLAIN [ ANALYZE ] [ VERBOSE ] statement
DESCRIPTION
This command displays the execution plan that the PostgreSQL planner generates for the supplied statement. The execution plan shows how the table(s) referenced by the statement will be scanned --- by plain sequential scan, index scan, etc. --- and if multiple tables are referenced, what join algorithms will be used to bring together the required rows from each input table.
The most critical part of the display is the estimated statement execution cost, which is the planner's guess at how long it will take to run the statement (measured in units of disk page fetches). Actually two numbers are shown: the start-up time before the first row can be returned, and the total time to return all the rows. For most queries the total time is what matters, but in contexts such as a subquery in EXISTS, the planner will choose the smallest start-up time instead of the smallest total time (since the executor will stop after getting one row, anyway). Also, if you limit the number of rows to return with a LIMIT clause, the planner makes an appropriate interpolation between the endpoint costs to estimate which plan is really the cheapest.
The ANALYZE option causes the statement to be actually executed, not only planned. The total elapsed time expended within each plan node (in milliseconds) and total number of rows it actually returned are added to the display. This is useful for seeing whether the planner's estimates are close to reality.
-
Important:
Keep in mind that the statement is actually executed when
the ANALYZE option is used. Although
EXPLAIN will discard any output that a
SELECT would return, other side effects of the
statement will happen as usual. If you wish to use
EXPLAIN ANALYZE on an
INSERT, UPDATE,
DELETE, CREATE TABLE AS,
or EXECUTE statement
without letting the command affect your data, use this approach:
BEGIN; EXPLAIN ANALYZE ...; ROLLBACK;
PARAMETERS
- ANALYZE
- Carry out the command and show the actual run times.
- VERBOSE
- Include the output column list for each node in the plan tree.
- statement
- Any SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, VALUES, EXECUTE, DECLARE, or CREATE TABLE AS statement, whose execution plan you wish to see.
NOTES
There is only sparse documentation on the optimizer's use of cost information in PostgreSQL. Refer to in the documentation for more information.
In order to allow the PostgreSQL query planner to make reasonably informed decisions when optimizing queries, the ANALYZE [analyze(7)] statement should be run to record statistics about the distribution of data within the table. If you have not done this (or if the statistical distribution of the data in the table has changed significantly since the last time ANALYZE was run), the estimated costs are unlikely to conform to the real properties of the query, and consequently an inferior query plan might be chosen.
Genetic query optimization (GEQO) randomly tests execution plans. Therefore, when the number of join relations exceeds geqo_threshold causing genetic query optimization to be used, the execution plan is likely to change each time the statement is executed.
In order to measure the run-time cost of each node in the execution plan, the current implementation of EXPLAIN ANALYZE can add considerable profiling overhead to query execution. As a result, running EXPLAIN ANALYZE on a query can sometimes take significantly longer than executing the query normally. The amount of overhead depends on the nature of the query.
EXAMPLES
To show the plan for a simple query on a table with a single integer column and 10000 rows:
EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM foo; QUERY PLAN --------------------------------------------------------- Seq Scan on foo (cost=0.00..155.00 rows=10000 width=4) (1 row)
If there is an index and we use a query with an indexable WHERE condition, EXPLAIN might show a different plan:
EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM foo WHERE i = 4; QUERY PLAN -------------------------------------------------------------- Index Scan using fi on foo (cost=0.00..5.98 rows=1 width=4) Index Cond: (i = 4) (2 rows)
Here is an example of a query plan for a query using an aggregate function:
EXPLAIN SELECT sum(i) FROM foo WHERE i < 10; QUERY PLAN --------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate (cost=23.93..23.93 rows=1 width=4) -> Index Scan using fi on foo (cost=0.00..23.92 rows=6 width=4) Index Cond: (i < 10) (3 rows)
Here is an example of using EXPLAIN EXECUTE to display the execution plan for a prepared query:
PREPARE query(int, int) AS SELECT sum(bar) FROM test WHERE id > $1 AND id < $2 GROUP BY foo; EXPLAIN ANALYZE EXECUTE query(100, 200); QUERY PLAN ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HashAggregate (cost=39.53..39.53 rows=1 width=8) (actual time=0.661..0.672 rows=7 loops=1) -> Index Scan using test_pkey on test (cost=0.00..32.97 rows=1311 width=8) (actual time=0.050..0.395 rows=99 loops=1) Index Cond: ((id > $1) AND (id < $2)) Total runtime: 0.851 ms (4 rows)
Of course, the specific numbers shown here depend on the actual contents of the tables involved. Also note that the numbers, and even the selected query strategy, might vary between PostgreSQL releases due to planner improvements. In addition, the ANALYZE command uses random sampling to estimate data statistics; therefore, it is possible for cost estimates to change after a fresh run of ANALYZE, even if the actual distribution of data in the table has not changed.
COMPATIBILITY
There is no EXPLAIN statement defined in the SQL standard.

MAN'S BEST FRIEND A review by The Phantom<EMAIL_ADDRESS>As it happens, the very friendly-looking, good-natured dog that is the star of MAN'S BEST FRIEND -- John Lafia's ill-fated, poorly-made updating of Stephen King's CUJO -- is apparently supposed to be rather more evil-minded than the enthusiastic, happy-go-lucky fool he appears to be throughout most of the film. And he is, in fact, a Tibetan mastiff, a bit of information the Phantom was able to glean from the review in the New York Times -- which can only mean that it was mentioned in the press kit, since the reviewer assigned to the unsavory task of writing up this turkey normally spends his time reviewing pop music and likely knows even less about dogs than he does about horror films. As no press kits were made available to the Phantom, he'll trust Mr. Holden got the breed right, even if the rest of his review was, as usual, something less than helpful.
The Phantom figured that Max (short for EMAX 3000, his official designation as yet another genetically-enhanced product of science run amok) was part of the "working dog" group, but it was hard to tell exactly what breed this smiling, happy dog was. Not St. Bernard, though that was the Phantom's first guess, perhaps influenced by the preview for BEETHOVEN'S 2ND, a movie that as it happens looks a lot like MAN'S BEST FRIEND with fewer prosthetic canine effects and one or two less maulings. And he certainly wasn't a Doberman, or a Rottweiller, or a German Shepherd -- or in fact any breed of dog bred for at least a modicum of aggression under the right circumstances. Or any breed in the Husky family that might, on first sight, raise uneasy thoughts of our none-too-friendly relationship with wolves and other wild predators. No indeed. This dog was just a big, sloppy, friendly dog of indeterminate breed who wouldn't scare a three-year-old; and unless one harbored an unreasonable fear of drool, it's hard to see how he could inspire even a worried thought or two, let alone real terror.
Cujo was a big, normally harmless St. Bernard-like mutt, which might have raised similar problems for King; however, Cujo was rabid, and a rabid St. Bernard could certainly engage in activities a tad more worrisome than chronic slipper-chewing. And while Lewis Teague's screen adaptation was not entirely successful, it did at least capture the horror inherent in the situation: a normally domesticated friend of man who, because he becomes possessed by forces outside of his control, turns on his master and everyone else he would normally do no more than drool on. It's exactly the scenario that made CHILD'S PLAY such an effective film -- what could be more frightening than seeing a friend turn on us, especially one that should be entirely in our control? Lafia, who as a writer-director turned in a very serviceable entry in the "small doll run amok" sub-genre of horror cinema with CHILD'S PLAY 2 (and whose witty screenplay helped make the original CHILD'S PLAY a sleeper hit), seems a bit at sea here, not knowing how MAN'S BEST FRIEND should play -- one moment we're convinced that Max might really run amok, and the next we're listening to a none-too-convincing parrot get all the best lines in the screenplay.
The very thin plot revolves around Ally Sheedy who, as a hot-shot television news producer, discovers that the friendly mad scientists at EMAX experiment on animals. After a daring break-in, Sheedy and her assistant go to some lengths to present us with a brief episode of "Vivisection on Parade" -- film which would make any PETA member proud, and which presumably provides MAN'S BEST FRIEND with its redeeming social value; then Sheedy discovers Max. Naturally upon seeing a very large, caged and tortured animal, the first thing she does is pose with him; the second thing she does is release him and take him home with her, making only a quick pit-stop at a local 7-11 to get mugged and allow Max to perform an off-camera Charles Bronson impersonation by mauling the mugger (in a startlingly non-graphic off-camera scene) and returning Sheedy's purse to her. The fact that the mugger is nearly dismembered is not revealed until very late in the film, leaving us to wonder both how the film planned to go about earning its "R" rating and how Max -- who returns to the parking lot looking just as happy and well-groomed as he left it -- cleaned himself up so much in the few seconds he had off camera. Just the first of far too many continuity problems in the sloppily-written screenplay; occasionally the Phantom enjoys keeping track of such blunders, but in the case of MAN'S BEST FRIEND it quickly became clear that if he kept count he'd need more than two paws to do so; in fact Lafia's screenplay is on occasion so bad that it seemed a whole litter's worth of paws might be needed.
Putting continuity and a distinct lack of horror aside, early on it became obvious to the Phantom that Sheedy was, herself, part of what's wrong with MAN'S BEST FRIEND, and that he was not the only member of the audience hoping for her timely demise (hopefully at Max's hand -- or rather, his paw). Her character is written as unlikable and stupid, and Sheedy certainly does the role credit; yet as incredible as it may seem, Sheedy's character is the most likeable and intelligent in the film. Her yuppie boyfriend certainly goes to great lengths to be as unappealing as possible, and yet it's not until the film is nearly over that Max decides to put us out of our misery by engaging in yet another off-camera mauling. Tied for third in the "least appealing character in this film" contest are everyone else.
This would not necessarily be a bad thing, since after all there's nothing like watching a really annoying character get chewed to death, but Lafia is curiously reluctant to show much of anything on camera. Yes, special effects are expensive, but what's the point of making an R-rated horror film that's less violent than HOME ALONE? So as in JURASSIC PARK, much of the carnage is left to our imaginations; of course Speilberg wanted JURASSIC PARK to be as much of a horror film as JAWS and DUEL were and filmed it as such, whereas it looks like Lafia aimed for horror/comedy and missed. MAN'S BEST FRIEND, on the infrequent occasions when it does decide to turn back into a horror film, plays a lot like ALIEN might had it been set in the middle of a open, sunny field, rather than on a dark, claustrophobic spaceship. Since the maulings are all shot from Max's perspective; since we know where everyone is throughout; and since in any event the carnage is something less than graphic, the audience doesn't find itself exactly overwhelmed by feelings of tension or terror. Which leaves the comic aspects of MAN'S BEST FRIEND, about which the less said the better.
And then there's Max himself, who is presented throughout the first two-thirds of the film as a sort of Lassie on steroids, able to maul muggers, rid the neighborhood of pesky cats, and perform minor light truck repairs while bounding around with a suspiciously sunny disposition.  We wait, it seems in vain, for Max to get mean, or angry, or even the least perturbed, but waiting is the order of the day in MAN'S BEST FRIEND -- nothing much happens when the screenplay isn't focused on a cliched set piece (Max chases a cat; Max finds true love in the form of a collie named Heidi; Max pays back the abusive, crazy-looking, junkyard-dwelling loner with which the idiot Sheedy left him after reading his "Dog needed for endless, cruel abuse -- large friendly dogs with amiable, sunny dispositions preferred" want-ad in the newspaper and deciding that this would be the best way to keep Max out of the hands of the mad scientists at EMAX). And when Max finally snaps, he does so only because he's been so thoroughly provoked that even had he been cross-bred with Ghandi he could hardly have restrained himself further. Although Max is not exactly kept on the shortest of leashes in this film, he generally does little more than perform a set number of impressive tricks and wonder whether every washed up, post-BREAKFAST CLUB actor will eventually be reduced to co-starring with members of another species.
Lance Henriksen, as the mad-scientist-who-would-dare-to-play-God, blunders through much of the film harassing two stereotypical cops and urging them to find his million-dollar dog; should Max continue to remain unfound, there's no telling what might happen. Dire things are predicted: once the drugs that keep Max looking and acting an awful lot like a very clever, well-trained and friendly Tibetan mastiff wear off, he will be transformed into a crazed, unstoppable killing machine, ridding the film of extraneous characters left and right. Maulings; chewings; fatal lickings -- anything could happen. Carnage-A-Go-Go -- really! But the Phantom should have known better, much as the two people who walked out on the film midway through obviously did. Any film that talks this much about terrible things to come generally provides little in the way of terror, and much in the way of being just plain terrible.
The Phantom could go on, but let's face it -- this film just doesn't work. Sheedy needs to call her agent; Max should call his trainer; and Lafia should stick to playing with dolls. Although MAN'S BEST FRIEND has a few funny moments, it can't hold a candle to BEETHOVEN; and as far as horror goes, it was fairly obvious to the Phantom that the screenplay wasn't HOUSE-broken enough to qualify. Calling this film a dog is too easy; but as we're just days away from Thanksgiving, calling it a turkey will do.

--- layout: post authors: ["Mike Jackson"] title: "ARCHER Software Carpentry workshop at The University of Edinburgh" date: 2014-10-07 time: "14:00:00" tags: ["Workshops"] ---
ARCHER, the UK's national supercomputing service, offers training in software development and high-performance computing to scientists and researchers across the UK. As part of our training service we are running a 2 day Software Carpentry workshop at EPCC, The University of Edinburgh, UK, on 3-4 December.
Software Carpentry workshops help researchers become more productive by teaching software development skills that enable more to be done, in less time, and with less pain. We will cover skills including version control, task automation, good programming practice and automated testing. These are skills that, in an ideal world, researchers would master before tackling anything with "cloud" or "peta" or "HPC" in their name, skills that enable researchers to optimise their time and provide them with a secure basis to optimise and parallelise their code.
This workshop is being run by EPCC, as part of ARCHER. The workshop is in collaboration with EPCC's PRACE Advanced Training Centre (PATC), and Software Carpentry.
I'll be instructing alongside my three EPCC colleagues, Arno Proeme, Mario Antonioletti and Alistair Grant, who will have just completed the Software Carpentry: Instructor Training at TGAC this October.
For more information and to register please, visit the ARCHER training page.

Hurricane Andrew
This chapter and the next (State Population Demo) are rather similar in terms of the animation approach. Both use SVG's animation elements to animate the SVG. The process of generating these scripts was a bit involved so let's cover that first then look at some of the animation itself.
How was this file created? It was created using a combination of some custom GIS tools for map-data extraction, a custom parser for the hurricane data, Adobe Illustrator and hand-editing. The custom GIS tools were needed to convert the GIS-format vector data to SVG. The custom parser was needed since the hurricane data was a simple ASCII table with headers, etc. Ideally, we should get this sort of data in XML and process it through XSLT. Illustrator was used for some parts, such as the text. Why wasn't Illustrator used for all the rest and avoid hand-editing? Because, for all its power and sophistication, Illustrator is not well-suited for building complex SVG animations. Almost always, one wants to use different coordinate systems and multiple transformations. Illustrator does not natively support this type of approach. Ideally, what is needed is a tool that allows one to natively edit SVG, perform transforms using XSLT and XPath and not flatten the artwork at all.
Thus the coastlines, state borders, title, etc. are all static SVG. The hurricane itself is basically an animated ellipse whose size and opacity is animated as a function of the pressure at its center and maximum windspeed over time. The hurricane and its animation is:
<defs>
<radialGradient id="HurrGradient">
<stop offset="0" stop-color="white" stop-opacity="0" />
<stop id="HurrStop1" offset="0.03" stop-color="white" stop-opacity="0.9" />
<stop id="HurrStop2" offset="0.25" stop-color="white" stop-opacity="0.6" />
<stop offset="1" stop-color="white" stop-opacity="0.1" />
</radialGradient>
<g id="hurricane">
<ellipse cx="0" cy="0" rx="0.4" ry="0.6" fill="url(#HurrGradient)" stroke="none" >
<animateTransform attributeName="transform" type="rotate" dur="2s" repeatDur="indefinite" from="0" to="360" />
<animate attributeName="rx" dur="23s" fill="freeze" values="0.40;0.60;0.60;0.80;..." />
<animate attributeName="ry" dur="23s" fill="freeze" values="0.60;0.80;0.80;1.00;..." />
<animate xlink:href="#HurrStop1" attributeName="stop-opacity" dur="23s" fill="freeze" values="0.30;0.31;0.32;..." />
<animate xlink:href="#HurrStop2" attributeName="stop-opacity" dur="23s" fill="freeze" values="0.20;0.21;0.21;0.22;0.24;..." />
</ellipse>
</g>
</defs>
<use xlink:href="#hurricane" x="-60" y="10" >
<animate attributeName="y" dur="23s" fill="freeze" values="10.80;11.20;11.70;12.30;..." />
<animate attributeName="x" dur="23s" fill="freeze" values="-35.50;-37.40;-39.60;-42.00;..." />
</use>
One can see that the hurricane is an ellipse with a radial white gradient. The animateTransform rotates the ellipse as it travels. The first two animation elements inside the ellipse animate rx,ry which changes the size of the ellipse. The last two animate the opacity range of the gradient inside the ellipse. Finally, the use element causes the definition of the ellipse to be rendered and the two animation elements inside the use element animate the position of the ellipse. The ellipses (...) in the animation elements are where many more values were present, which have been left out here for brevity.
In a similar fashion, the track of the hurricane is
<g id="HurricanePath1" stroke-width="0.2" display="none" stroke-linejoin="round" stroke-opacity="0.5" >
<path style="fill:none;stroke:blue" d="M-35.50 10.80L-37.40 11.20L-39.60 11.70L-42.00 12.30" />
<path style="fill:none;stroke:green" d="M-42.00 12.30L-44.20 13.10L-46.20 13.60..."  />
<path style="fill:none;stroke:cyan" d="M-91.70 30.10L-91.60 30.90" />
<path style="fill:none;stroke:green" d="M-91.60 30.90L-91.10 31.50L-90.50 32.10" />
<path style="fill:none;stroke:blue;" d="M-90.50 32.10L-89.60 32.80L-88.40 33.60L-86.70 34.40L-84.00 35.40" />
<set attributeName="display" begin="23s" to="inline" />
</g>
Again, not all the data is shown as it is very long. But note that initially the path is hidden, display="none". The set element at the end indicates that after 23s the attribute should change to display="inline", which makes the path appear.
The windspeed and pressue info is done in a rather cumbersome way:
<defs>
<text id="PressTextNA">n/a</text>
<text id="PressText0">1010</text>
<text id="PressText1">1009</text>
<text id="PressText2">1008</text>
...
</defs>
<g font-family="Arial" font-size="14" fill="white" >
<text x="875" y="325" >Windspeed (mph):</text>
<use xlink:href="#WindTextNA" x="1000" y="325" >
<animate attributeName="xlink:href" dur="23s" values="#WindText0;#WindText1;#WindText2;#WindText3;..." />
</use>
<text x="875" y="350">Pressure (mb):</text>
<use xlink:href="#PressTextNA" x="1000" y="350" >
<animate attributeName="xlink:href" dur="23s" values="#PressText0;#PressText1;#PressText2;#PressText3;..." />
</use>
</g>
Each piece of data to be displayed is present as a separate text object inside the defs element. Then two use elements animate the xlink:href attribute of the info's text element itself and swap the text elements in and out to provide the updates.
Finally, here is the Saffir-Simpson popup info screen:
<g id="SaffirInfo" transform="matrix(1 0 0 1 75 325)" display="none" pointer-events="none" font-family="'Verdana'" font-size="12">
<rect fill="#FFFDE5" filter="url(#Shadow)" fill-opacity="0.90" width="280" height="260"/>
<text transform="matrix(1 0 0 1 15 20)" >
<tspan x="0" y="0" font-family="'Verdana'" font-size="12">The Saffir Simpson scale is a widely used </tspan>
<tspan x="0" y="14.5" font-family="'Verdana'" font-size="12">method for categorizing the overall </tspan>
...
</text>
<set xlink:href="#SaffirInfo" attributeName="display" begin="SaffirCaption.mouseover" to="inline" />
<set xlink:href="#SaffirInfo" attributeName="display" begin="SaffirCaption.mouseout" to="none" />
</g>
As you can see the text is just laid over a yellow rect, a filter applied that gives it a drop-shadow. The info is shown when the user mouses over the rect and disappears when the user mouses out.
And that's it! Click on this link to see the actual rendered demo in all its whirling glory!


APRIL 30 St Pius V, Pope (or
Our lady, Mother of Africa)
(1504-1572).
Michael Ghislieri, a Dominican, became Pope Pius V. His pontificate was one of the
most glorious in the 16th century. He enforced the decrees of the Council of
Common
of Pastors (for popes)

ReportNG is a simple HTML reporting plug-in for the TestNG unit-testing framework. It is intended as a replacement for the default TestNG HTML report. The default report is comprehensive but is not so easy to understand at-a-glance. ReportNG provides a simple, colour-coded view of the test results.
ReportNG generates 100% valid XHTML 1.0 files. The output can be customised by over-riding the default stylesheet with your own CSS file.
Since version 0.9.0, ReportNG also includes a second reporter that produces JUnit format XML output. This enables TestNG to integrate with tools, such as Hudson, that understand these XML files. This is an alternative to the JUnit XML reporter that is provided with TestNG. The ReportNG implementation maps each test class to a single <testsuite> element, resulting in one XML file per test class. This is different from the approach taken by the core TestNG implementation. The ReportNG version of the JUnit reporter ignores TestNG's notion of suites to produce output that is closer to what you would get if you were using JUnit.
The current version is 1.2.2, which has been tested with TestNG 6.14.3.
To use the reporting plug-in, set the listeners
attribute of the testng
element in
your Ant build file. This attribute takes a comma-separated list of
reporter class names. The class names for the ReportNG reporters are:
org.uncommons.reportng.HTMLReporter org.uncommons.reportng.JUnitXMLReporter
You may also want to disable the default TestNG reporters by setting the useDefaultListeners
attribute to "false".
Your Ant task will probably look something like this:
<testng classpathref="test-path" outputdir="${test-results.dir}" haltonfailure="true" useDefaultListeners="false" listeners="org.uncommons.reportng.HTMLReporter,org.uncommons.reportng.JUnitXMLReporter"> <xmlfileset dir="." includes="testng.xml"/> <sysproperty key="org.uncommons.reportng.title" value="My Test Report"/> </testng>
The reportng-1.1.4.jar
and velocity-dep-1.4.jar
files must be
included in the classpath used to run the tests.
Add ReportNG as a Maven dependency
<dependency> <groupId>org.testng</groupId> <artifactId>reportng</artifactId> <version>1.2.2</version> <scope>test</scope> </dependency>
Now ReportNG reports will be generated for each test run. ReportNG wires-in the below mentioned mandatory listeners via Service Providers Interface, so no additional work needs to be done to start consuming them.
If you are using Gradle, Tomek Kaczanowski has written these instructions on how to use ReportNG.
If you are using the command line, an IDE plug-in or some other build system, please refer to the TestNG documentation to find out how to register custom listeners/reporters.
The following optional system properties can be set (via nested <sysproperty>
elements
within the <testng>
element) in order to customise the report output:
org.uncommons.reportng.coverage-report
org.uncommons.reportng.escape-output
org.uncommons.reportng.failures-only
"false"
. If set to "true"
, the generated report will
not list successful tests.
org.uncommons.reportng.frames
"true"
. If set to "false"
, generates the HTML report
without using a frameset. No navigation page is generated and the overview page becomes the
index page.
org.uncommons.reportng.locale
org.uncommons.reportng.show-expected-exceptions
"true"
or "false"
to specify whether the stack-traces of expected
exceptions should be included in the output for passed test cases. The default is "false" because
the presence of stack-traces for successful tests may be confusing.
org.uncommons.reportng.stylesheet
HTMLReporter
. This allows the appearance of reports to be customised.
See the default
stylesheet for the classes and selectors that can be styled.
For an example, see this version of the
sample report, which uses the bundled hudsonesque.css file
to customise the report's appearance.
org.uncommons.reportng.title
org.uncommons.reportng.xml-dialect
JUnitXMLReporter
. If set to "testng"
(the default), then skipped tests appear as "skipped" in the XML. This is suitable for use with
tools such as Hudson that understand the TestNG
dialect of the XML format. Other tools, such as
Ant's junitreport task,
do not have a notion of skipped tests. For these tools the dialect can be set to
"junit"
and skipped tests will be marked as failures.
org.uncommons.reportng.velocity-log

We had backpacked into a Rocky Mountain Wilderness area for a week of camping and fishing along the White River© I had brought along some dmt that we had extracted using the Quantum Tantra Technique© We tried some each night and here is how we did it and what we saw©
After it had gotten dark we put small amounts of the waxy substance into a glass pipe that was hooked to a water pipe© When the pipe started smoking we bubbled the smoke through the water and took in what we could© We tried to take in three big hits each time, but the smoke was at times very harsh, even with the use of the water pipe© Without the water pipe to cool the smoke I don’t know if we would have been able to take in enough to break through to a visionary state©
Even in small amounts the patterned light that one sees can be incredible© It is sometimes called the Chrysanthemum pattern or the wall of eyes© If you take enough dmt you can break through the patterned light and go into a visionary state that can be so shocking that it will take your breath away©
The first night I started out by staring at a picture of the Egyptian goddess Nuit that we had brought along to see if it would impact the visions© I took in three hits from the water pipe and sat back©
The patterned light started immediately, but I could tell that I had not taken in enough to have a strong vision©
The patterned light flowed around and through me for about a minute and then to my enjoyment morphed into a vision of Isis in green and black facing me with her arms out stretched© From her hands complex patterned light flowed at me and through me, her face was stern, but I felt no fear, only awe at the beauty of the vision© The light flowed from her fingers for about a minute and then the vision faded away and I was back to seeing only the flowing patterned light© What seemed different about this vision was the green colors that are usually missing from my visions© Afterwards I felt elated and energized by the experience©
The second night I started off by staring at a picture of a Huichol peyote yarn painting that we had brought along© I took three good hits off the water pipe and sat back©
The flowing patterned light started almost immediately and I started to “hear” singing© The small stove we used to heat the pipe made a slight whistling noise that start to incorporate itself into the vision© Along the edges of the vision appeared small animated children who were holding hands and singing a song© They looked like the children of the earth and they seemed happy to see me© The vision then snapped into a flash back of a mushroom vision I had had years ago when the theme had become dominated by Mexican motifs and icons© The symbols and the desert vista flowed over me for about two minutes until I fell out of the vision and back to flowing patterned light©
The second night I did a second try by staring at a picture of the ancient Egyptian calendar© I took in three hits from the water pipe and sat back with my eyes close©
The flowing waves of patterned light started as soon as I got settled into a seated position© The colors were mostly reds and blacks with some orange at the sides© The patterned light was three dimensional and flowed smoothly over and through me© It was a beautiful and peaceful feeling as the waves of jeweled light started to increase in complexity and sharpness©
After about a minute there was a light shining down from the top of the flowing patterned light© I thought at first that sun light from the environment was interfering with the vision but then I remembered that it was at night© I “looked up” at the light in my vision and saw it was the sun shining through a stone carved window© I was now in some kind of stone walled room with the patterned light flowing around the room© As I continued to look up at the sun I stated to float up through the stone carved window and into a room where Nuit stood with her arm up raised toward the sun© She had an orb on her head that had horns that were curved upward© It seemed that I was being “raised up” in some kind of initiation to a different level© The vision started to fade and I soon fell back into a state where I saw only flowing patterned light with less and less complexity© I came out of the vision feeling good and after only a few minutes I felt I was back to my normal state of mind©
I tried another experiment where I took in three hits of smoke and sat back with Buddhist music playing in the back round© The effects of the smoke were less than normal but I was getting good flowing psychedelic patterned light and after a few moments the flowing patterns started to flowing in rhythm to the music© It was incredibly beautiful experience to watch and hear the two combine into something that was almost alive© The music at times seemed to be able to make the patterns shimmer and tingle© Most times the visions seemed abstract and geometric in design, but with this music it almost seemed to have a life of its own©
Next time I try another set of experiments I want to try this again as the Buddhist and Hindu music added a interesting dimension to the experience©
Sundance was ready to try another adventure so I loaded up the pipe as he stared at a print out of the Hebrew letter Aleph© We had decided to try the next experiment with the smoker laying down after taking the smoke and staring up at the stars© It seemed like a good plan© Sundance took in three massive hits of the smoke and laid back onto the ground©
I sat back and watched over the trip when from the south a small dark cloud started forming over us© This seemed strange as the weather was relatively calm that day©
The cloud then became darker and started to float down towards us© I had never seem anything like this and I hoped Sundance’s trip was going ok© Sundance then started to come around and rolled over onto his side© I said to him to look at what the cloud was doing, and as we looked up the cloud broke up into the shape of the letter Aleph© It was one of the weirdest things I have ever seen©
After a few minutes the cloud melted away and Sundance was back to a normal state of mind© We looked at each other and immediately decided not to try any more experiments using Hebrew letters©
The last night I stared at a picture of Tara and took in three big hits of smoke©
There was music playing and I had concentrated at the Tara print, but neither had any impact on what happened next©
The effects were almost immediate as I sat back on the ground with my eyes closed© The flowing patterned light started and this time the patterns were much more solid with more complexity and intricate designs like an Indian tapestry©
The rushing walls of designs and patterns flowed through me and they had much more intensity than previously, I gripped my knees as I sat on the ground trying to stabilize the cascading intensity of the vision© Sundance said the experience lasted about 6 to 7 minutes and during that time I was immersed in a world of light and color with three dimensional designs that were the best I had ever seen©
What was interesting was that I had seemed to break through to the visionary place, but only colored lights in amazing complexity occurred© The visions had not come to me© Was it because I had not stared at the picture long enough, or was it a different dmt “place” I had gotten too? This was by far the most intense experiment that I had done and it was like riding a roller coaster through a fractal© As the trip was winding down I tried to concentrate on the designs as they flowed by and through me to check out the complexities© As one of the more interesting designs flowed by I focused on a circular design that morphed as I focused on it into an eye with a grinning mouth below it© The smile seemed more maniacal than friendly, but was never less an amazing sight©
As I came around Sundance suggested that I look at some of the flowers that were around our camp, so I tried to get up but was still woozy for a few more minutes so I had to sit back down© After about 15 minutes I was able to move around with no problem and I checked out the flowers which looked incredible in the star light©

Report: Newcastle could send Elias Sorensen abroad if Carlisle spell doesn’t work out
Carlisle United now have a new manager.
by Jay WilliamsNewcastle United will judge Elias Sorensen’s progress at Carlisle United and make a decision in January on his immediate future.
According to a report by The Chronicle, Sorensen has offers from abroad with a number of Danish clubs keen on him. These are likely to be loan moves.
However, Newcastle want to see how he does at Carlisle in the next six weeks. Sorensen joined Carlisle in the summer but he has barely played for the League Two side.
Steven Pressley has now been sacked as Carlisle manager and Newcastle hope this could benefit Sorensen. The Magpies will judge how well he is doing under the new boss before deciding whether to leave him at Carlisle or recall him.
If he is recalled in January, the Denmark U21 starlet could be sent out again. Shola Ameobi, who is in charge of Newcastle’s loan players, has a decision to make but he might be sent back to Denmark on a temporary basis.
TBR’s view
Sorensen has proven his goalscoring prowess at youth level but now needs to take the plunge into senior football. After his disappointing loan spell at Blackpool last year, it has been more pain for the 20-year-old at Carlisle.
At this stage of his career, Sorensen cannot afford to be sitting on the bench. He needs regular playing time to show he’s a future Newcastle first-teamer. This is why Ameobi needs to make a wise decision in January.

Contacts is a universal interface to grab contact list information from various providers including Hotmail, Gmail and Yahoo.
For a long time, the only way to get a list of contacts from your free online email accounts was with proprietary PHP scripts that would cost you $50. The act of grabbing that list is a simple matter of screen scrapping and this library gives you all the functionality you need. Thanks to the generosity of the highly popular Rails website MOG (mog.com) for allowing this library to be released open-source to the world. It is easy to extend this library to add new free email providers, so please contact the author if you would like to help.
Contacts::Hotmail.new(login, password).contacts # => [["name"<EMAIL_ADDRESS>["another name"<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Contacts::Yahoo.new(login, password).contacts Contacts::Gmail.new(login, password).contacts Contacts.new(:gmail, login, password).contacts Contacts.new(:hotmail, login, password).contacts Contacts.new(:yahoo, login, password).contacts Contacts.guess(login, password).contacts
Notice there are three ways to use this library so that you can limit the use as much as you would like in your particular application. The Contacts.guess method will automatically concatenate all the address book contacts from each of the successful logins in the case that a username password works across multiple services.
See the examples/ directory.
This library is released under the terms of the BSD.

The parameter ‘vote’ can be either a single string representing a candidate, or a dictionary representing a set of preferences cast by a single voter.
For a unique vote, add the number of times it was voted for.
This method differs from the add_votes method in that there is more than one vote being cast, each with potentially many vote counts.
D.clear() -> None. Remove all items from D.
D.copy() -> a shallow copy of D
dict.fromkeys(S[,v]) -> New dict with keys from S and values equal to v. v defaults to None.
D.get(k[,d]) -> D[k] if k in D, else d. d defaults to None.
Count all votes cast for all candidates.
Determine the winner, if one exists.
This is a wrapper for the method of the same name on the IVotingMethod implementation class.
D.has_key(k) -> True if D has a key k, else False.
D.items() -> list of D’s (key, value) pairs, as 2-tuples.
D.iteritems() -> an iterator over the (key, value) items of D.
D.iterkeys() -> an iterator over the keys of D.
D.itervalues() -> an iterator over the values of D
D.keys() -> list of D’s keys.
D.pop(k[,d]) -> v, remove specified key and return the corresponding value. If key is not found, d is returned if given, otherwise KeyError is raised
D.popitem() -> (k, v), remove and return some (key, value) pair as a 2-tuple; but raise KeyError if D is empty.
D.setdefault(k[,d]) -> D.get(k,d), also set D[k]=d if k not in D
D.update(E, **F) -> None. Update D from dict/iterable E and F.
- If E has a .keys() method, does: for k in E: D[k] = E[k]
- If E lacks .keys() method, does: for (k, v) in E: D[k] = v
In either case, this is followed by: for k in F: D[k] = F[k]
D.values() -> list of D’s values
Majority rule is a decision rule that selects alternatives which have a majority, that is, more than half the votes
Though plurality (first-past-the post) is often mistaken for majority rule, they are not the same. Plurality makes the options with the most votes the winner, regardless of whether the fifty percent threshold is passed. This is equivalent to majority rule when there are only two alternatives. However, when there are more than two alternatives, it is possible for plurality to choose an alternative that has fewer than fifty percent of the votes cast in its favor.

--- layout: post title: "Final Write-Up" subtitle: "Hack the Box Challenge" date: 2019-08-10 20:15:34 -0800 background: '' ---
So, is time to do the real thing after learning so much knowledge of computer secuirty. Let's do some hacking challenge. To do the challenges, we need to register Hackthebox account first. After clicking the link that shows the registration link, the website rediret to another page that shown below.
The first thing that come to my mind is the invite code should be offer by the school, but the fact is, nothing was given. Then I finally realize that the challenge is actually already begun. I need to find the way to acquire the invide code myself. Then, I open up the chrome built-in developer console and tried to inspect any specious elements or javascipts that can be used. I then notice a specious element arrtibutes as the image show below.
Thus, I manually delete the "hidden" attribute, then the interface changes to the image shown below
Then, I try to signup with the token that show in the white box. And of course, it did not work. It is obvious that the invite code has nothing to do with the token. Then, I start digging the javascripts to see if there are any hints or somehting else is useful. Then I notice there is a javascript file called "inviteapi.min.js". After open the javascipts, the code in the script is clearly has been obfuscated which makes the code really hard to understand. Next, I copied all the code the the oneline javascipt deobfuscation website to see if it can deobfusted. Fortunatelly, it works.
As we can see from the image above, there is a function called "makeInviteCode" in the javascript. What if I try to call this function in the Chrome console? The magic happend, the website server retrun an encrypted message with ROT13 cipher. Copy the message to the ROT13 ciper decoder, we can get the original message "In order to generate the invite code, make a POST request to /api/invite/generate"
From the orignal messge, we can know that to accquire a invite code, we need to make a POST request to the hackthebox.eu/api/invite/generate. Withmy past experience with cloud development, we can use a tool clled "Postman" to make a POST request. After making the POST request with Postman, we recieved another message that maybe is the invite code. However, there is another data that comes along with the responde. "Format":"encoded". From this data and combine with the code itself, it is extremely likely that the invite code is encrypted. This prove my guess after trying to decode the message with base64 decoder.
After fill in the decoded invite code, we can finally register the account.
The first reverse Engineering Challenge I pick was "Find the Easy Pass". The goal of the challenge is straight enough - find the password.
The program is a standard PE file that run under windows environment. To debug the program, we need the windows debugger - WinDbg. However, we need somehting more powerful and convienet tool that can help us to crack the password. Thus, here, we use IDA -The Interactive Disassembler. Since we dont know that the exact password, so let's input something special string that will be useful to future debugging. So, let's enter "fake" in the dialoge box, to see what will happen. As the image shown below, after input the wrong password, the program will prompt "Wrong password!"
So, let's try to search the string "Wrong" to try to see what the program did before prompt the wrong prompt. We first need to attach the program process, switch to disassembler mode, then, we search the string "Wrong". Luckly, we easily have the result. And as the disassembler code image shown below, we can see before prompt the "Wrong password", the program called another function. And the most importnt is, there are also have register EAX and EDX. It is highly possible that the program will use these two register to store the user input and password, then compare between them. So, let's set a break point there, and then re enter the wrong password "fake".
After re enter the password, and from the image shown below, the EAX register do contain the string we input - "fake", and then move to the EDX register, the EDX register also contain a string - "fortran!". it is highly possible that this is the actual final password.
So, let's try the password that we get from the EDX register. And yes, the password is correct.
The second reverse engineering challenge that I did was called "snake". The challenge is to find the username and the password.
The challenge is actaully a single python file, which means we can just inspect the code directly. So, here comes the question, if we can see the orignal code, we can just sovled it by directly modify the code, reveal the username and password, right? That's whan I was thinking at first. Let's see the code from the image shown below.
As we can see, the username and password will be finally store in an variable "slither" and "chars", so we can just print these two varianles to the terminal to get the username and password.
Then, trying to submit the hackthebox challenge flag with revealed username and password, but the website return "wrong flag". Of course, how could be that easy? So, is time to digging the code manully to see whats the real password. After spending sometime digging the code, an unusual part of the code got my atention. The looping at the end of the code which also responsible for the password verification is actaully only loop once. Which means the loop only verify the first character of the password - d. Which means the password is incorrect. After manully examinate all the variable as the image shown below, a variable name caught my attention: "keys_encrypt", which seems possibly is the actual variable that store the password.
Finally, submit the username and the value of the variable "keys_encrypt" as the flag, and it works.
Steganography,is the practice of concealing messages within other non-secret text or data. The cover media may appear unremarkable at first glance and will require close investigation. For the third hackthebox challenge, I did the steganography challenge.
The goal of this challenge is to find the hidden flag in a file that contain the text file, the content of the file as shown as the image below.
As we can see, the file contain a message that pretented to be a global language message. There is a part of the string cnanot be displayed, but it is possible that the string is actually written in different languages that the unicode format just cannot read it. I first trying to extract the hex value of the whole file, but still doe snot gives any clues or hint. However, for this challenge, we actually need an another tool that help us to solve the challenge. Which is called Burp Suite.
then we try to copy whole message to the Burp Suite decoder, then decode it, to see what will happen.
After we decode the string, we can see that there is a string looks very familiar, and yes, after delete all the symbol "@", we can get actual flag : HTB{tr1th3m1u5_1499}. Submit, and we are done
From these hackthebox challenge, we can see to getting comfortable with the security area, we need to learn to use different tools, need to understand what the original author really wants and sovled things that from their perspetives.

by Brent FurdykSpanish tennis player Rafael Nadal suffered a devastating defeat at the ATP Finals in London, where he was beaten 6-2, 6-4 by Alexander Zverev in his opening match of the tournament on Monday.
As disastrous as his loss was, however, it was nothing compared to the press conference that followed.
While Nadal sat behind a table and fielded questions from reporters, a Spanish journalist asked about the athlete’s recent wedding (Nadal married longtime girlfriend Xisca Perello in Mallorca last month).
In long and rambling question, uttered in broken English, the reporter said, “For many people to get married is a very important and distracting thing. Before the marriage, during the marriage, after the marriage.”
The reporter continued to meander, contending that “concentration on your tiniest life has been bit different” after getting married, while Nadal listened and seethed.
After the question trailed off, Nadal issued a scathing response. “Honestly, are you asking me this?” he said, asking the reporter whether his query was a “serious question or a joke?”
When the reporter responded that he was indeed serious, Nadal furiously rubbed his forehead while replying, “It’s serious? Yeah?”
Nadal admitted he was surprised to be asked that question, given that he and Perello had been together for 15 years and had a “very stable and normal life. It doesn’t matter if you put a ring on your finger or not,” he added before having a brief exchange with the reporter in Spanish.
“Okay,” he added, “we move to Spanish because that’s bulls**t.”

STREPTOCOCCAL INFECTIONS:
Strep is short for Streptococcus, a type of bacteria. There are two types: group A and group B.
Group A strep causes:
Group B strep causes:
A screening test during pregnancy can tell if you have it. If you do, I.V. antibiotics during labor can save your baby's life. Adults can also get group B strep infections, especially if they are elderly or already have health problems. Strep B can cause urinary tract infections, blood infections, skin infections and pneumonia in adults. Antibiotics are used to treat strep infections.
Group B strep causes:
A sample swabbed from the back of the throat is put on a special plate (culture) that enables bacteria to grow in the lab. The specific type of infection is determined using chemical tests. If bacteria don't grow, the culture is negative and the person doesn't have a strep throat infection.
THYROID DISEASES:
Your thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland in your neck, just above your collarbone. It is one of your endocrine glands, which make hormones. Thyroid hormones control the rate of many activities in your body. These include how fast you burn calories and how fast your heart beats. All of these activities are your body's metabolism.
Thyroid problems include:
To diagnose thyroid diseases, doctors use a medical history, physical exam, and thyroid tests. They sometimes also use a biopsy. Treatment depends on the problem, but may include medicines, radioiodine therapy, or thyroid surgery.
Health care professionals use thyroid tests to check how well your thyroid is working and to find the cause of problems such as hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism.
Thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). Thyroid hormones control how the body uses energy, so they affect nearly every organ in your body, even your heart.
Your doctor will start with blood tests and may also order imaging tests.
Doctors may order one or more blood tests to check your thyroid function. Tests may include thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), T4, T3, and thyroid antibody tests. For these tests, a health care professional will draw blood from your arm and send it to a lab for testing. Your doctor will talk to you about your test results.
1. TSH test
Health care professionals usually check the amount of TSH in your blood first. TSH is a hormone made in the pituitary gland that tells the thyroid how much T4 and T3 to make. A high TSH level most often means you have hypothyroidism, or an underactive thyroid. This means that your thyroid isn’t making enough hormones. As a result, the pituitary keeps making and releasing TSH into your blood. A low TSH level usually means you have hyperthyroidism, or an overactive thyroid. This means that your thyroid is making too much hormone, so the pituitary stops making and releasing TSH into your blood. If the TSH test results are not normal, you will need at least one other test to help find the cause of the problem.
2. T4 tests
A high blood level of T4 may mean you have hyperthyroidism. A low level of T4 may mean you have hypothyroidism. In some cases, high or low T4 levels may not mean you have thyroid problems. If you are pregnant or are taking oral contraceptives , your thyroid hormone levels will be higher. Severe illness or using corticosteroids—medicines to treat asthma, arthritis, skin conditions, and other health problems—can lower T4 levels. These conditions and medicines change the amount of proteins in your blood that “bind,” or attach, to T4. Bound T4 is kept in reserve in the blood until it’s needed. “Free” T4 is not bound to these proteins and is available to enter body tissues. Because changes in binding protein levels don’t affect free T4 levels, many healthcare professionals prefer to measure free T4.
3. T3 test
If your health care professional thinks you may have hyperthyroidism even though your T4 level is normal, you may have a T3 test to confirm the diagnosis. Sometimes T4 is normal yet T3 is high, so measuring both T4 and T3 levels can be useful in diagnosing hyperthyroidism.
4.Thyroid antibody tests
Measuring levels of thyroid antibodies may help diagnose an autoimmune thyroid disorder such as Graves’ disease—the most common cause of hyperthyroidism—and Hashimoto’s disease—the most common cause of hypothyroidism. Thyroid antibodies are made when your immune system attacks the thyroid gland by mistake. Your health care professional may order thyroid antibody tests if the results of other blood tests suggest thyroid disease.
A high blood level of T4 may mean you have hyperthyroidism. A low level of T4 may mean you have hypothyroidism.
Your health care professional may order one or more imaging tests to diagnose and find the cause of thyroid disease. A trained technician usually does these tests in your doctor’s office, outpatient center, or hospital. A radiologist, a doctor who specializes in medical imaging, reviews the images and sends a report for your health care professional to discuss with you.
1. Ultrasound of the Thyroid
Ultrasound can help your doctor tell if the nodules are more likely to be cancerous.   The ultrasound usually takes around 30 minutes.
2. Thyroid scan
Health care professionals use a thyroid scan to look at the size, shape, and position of the thyroid gland. This test uses a small amount of radioactive iodine to help find the cause of hyperthyroidism and check for thyroid nodules. Your health care professional may ask you to avoid foods high in iodine, such as kelp, or medicines containing iodine for a week before the test. For the scan, a technician injects a small amount of radioactive iodine or a similar substance into your vein. You also may swallow the substance in liquid or capsule form. The scan takes place 30 minutes after an injection, or up to 24 hours after you swallow the substance, so your thyroid has enough time to absorb it. During the scan, you will lie on an exam table while a special camera takes pictures of your thyroid. The scan usually takes 30 minutes or less. Thyroid nodules that make too much thyroid hormone show up clearly in the pictures. Radioactive iodine that shows up over the whole thyroid could mean you have Graves’ disease. Even though only a small amount of radiation is needed for a thyroid scan and it is thought to be safe, you should not have this test if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
STROKE
What is Stroke ? A stroke happens when blood flow to a part of the brain is interrupted as a result of a ruptured or blocked blood vessel. Brain cells that do not receive a constant supply of oxygenated blood may die, causing permanent damage to the brain. There are two types of strokes: hemorrhagic and ischemic.
A short episode of stroke-like symptoms is called a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or mini-stroke. Most often, no permanent damage results from a TIA; however, a TIA is often a warning sign that a stroke will occur. Symptoms of a TIA may last from a few minutes to up to 24 hours. The symptoms of stroke depend on which part of the brain is affected. In some cases, a person may not know that he or she has had a stroke. Symptoms, which usually develop suddenly and without warning, include:
How is a stroke diagnosed and evaluated?
The first step in assessing a stroke patient is to determine whether the patient is experiencing an ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke so that the correct treatment can begin. A CT scan or MRI of the head is typically the first test performed.
To help determine the type, location, and cause of a stroke and to rule out other disorders, physicians may use:
CT SCAN/ CAT SCAN Computed tomography (CT) is a type of imaging. It uses special x-ray equipment to make cross-sectional pictures of your body.
Doctors use CT scans to look for :
During a CT scan, you lie still on a table. The table slowly passes through the center of a large X-ray machine. The test is painless. During some tests you receive a contrast dye, which makes parts of your body show up better in the image. NIH: National Cancer Institute
What is CT Scanning of the Head?
What are some common uses of the procedure?
CT scanning of the head is typically used to detect:
CT scanning is also performed to:
How should I prepare?
Patient should wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing , usually a gown is provided to wear during the procedure. Metal objects, including jewelry, eyeglasses, dentures and hairpins, may affect the CT images and should be left at home or removed prior to examination. Hearing aids and removable dental works will also be asked to removed, If contrast material will be used, patient will be asked not to eat or drink anything for a few hours beforehand. Inform physician of all medications being taken and if the patient have a known allergy particularly to dyes. The doctor may prescribe medications (usually a steroid) to reduce the risk of an allergic reaction. These medications generally need to be taken 12 hours prior to administration of contrast material. Also inform doctor of any recent illnesses or other medical conditions and whether you have a history of heart disease, asthma, diabetes, kidney disease or thyroid problems. Any of these conditions may increase the risk of an unusual adverse effect. The radiologist also should know if you have asthma, multiple myeloma or any disorder of the heart, kidneys or thyroid gland, or if you have diabetes—particularly if you are taking Glucophage. Women should always inform their physician and the CT technologist if there is any possibility that they may be pregnant. See the Safety page for more information about pregnancy and x-rays.

I decided to do salvia one day over the summer, because I had been telling my friends about my previous experience with it and they seemed interested. My first experience had scared me shitless, but for some reason I wanted to try again, maybe see if it was any different.
We went and picked up a gram of 10x, then went back to my friend's apartment, which was on the second floor of a house in a suburban area of Kailua, Hawaii. We set up my bong, packed a bowl, and one of my friends hit it till it was gone. He said he felt weird, but didn't think he had broken through, so we packed another bowl for him. After 4 or 5 bowls, he still didn't think he had broken through, but we decided he had had enough. Soon afterwards, he started laughing, then ripped his shirt off because 'he felt it crawling on him.'
After he was done smoking, I packed a bowl for myself. I only hit it once, and as I was setting the bong down I felt myself slipping into that familiar 'salvia reality.' It's hard to say what changed, but I was instantly petrified.  What I think salvia does is it makes me forget basic things about reality. That doesn't quite convey the feeling I had, but it's as close as I can get with words.
This time, I thought all my friends were evil.  I still knew who they were and everything, I just felt like they knew exactly what the salvia was making me feel, and they had known before I smoked it, and it was a conspiracy on their part. The apartment, just the second floor of a 2 story house, seemed to me to be way at the top of a skyscraper. I knew I had smoked salvia, and I knew none of this was right, but what was scaring me was that I didn't know what things were supposed to be like. I couldn't remember real reality, all I knew was this Salvia reality, which I knew wasn't real. I was freaking out.
On top of these general brain changes, there was an incredibly weird thing happening to me that was way more 'in-your-face.' When I smoke salvia, I get this 'stoned' feeling like weed, where it almost feels like electric pulses moving along my body. The difference is, with salvia, the pulses are way more intense and solid, really feeling like my body is clenching as they move along. This time, the pulsing feeling brought with it solid black bars of nothingness that were pushing into my vision from the sides. I held my arms out to the side and began waving them, saying 'Everything's going like this!' My friends found it hilarious of course, but I was completely serious. It turns out, the strength of the pulses and the black bars of nothingness were my salvia-influenced brain's way of processing the feeling of a fan blowing at me from the back. Once I realized this, I turned the fan away from me and the feeling stopped.
Overall, the trip lasted about 5 minutes, and the aftereffects maybe 5 more, during which I was very uncomfortable, but I was no longer so frightened.

TV star Nicki Chapman says Ayr is the perfect town to live
The town was the focal point on BBC’s Escape to the Perfect Town where celebrity host Nicki Chapman hopes to find house buyers their dream pad.
by Abi Smillie, https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/authors/abi-smillie/Ayr was added to many people’s must visit places as the town featured on a new property series last week.
The town was the focal point on BBC’s Escape to the Perfect Town where celebrity host Nicki Chapman hopes to find house buyers their dream pad.
The programme showcased not only stunning homes on Bellevue Lane, Racecourse View and in Doonfoot but showed off the beach, town centre, the Gaiety Theatre and the university.
Former Pop Idol judge Nicki seemed fond of the town describing it as “a popular seaside resort and the birthplace of the country’s best known poet, Robert Burns”.
She added: “It’s a town where the busy esplanade and beautiful beaches sit side by side with the Firth of Clyde.
“Whether you’re travelling from near or far in Ayr, a warm welcome is a par for the course.
“With a city [Glasgow] a train ride away and a short stroll from the sea, this certainly is an accessible yet atmospheric place to move to.”
Nicki’s buyers, from New Malden, Surrey, had £400,000 in their pocket and pinpointed Ayr as a potential perfect town to live.
They described the area as “cosmopolitan and buzzing”, adding that they loved the beach and were pleasantly surprised to find a theatre and university, both within walking distance of the town centre.
Many TV viewers shared their adoration for the town online.
Jennifer Robertson said: “A great advert for our town.”
Beryl Crighton echoed Jennifer’s thoughts and said: “It’s time we were taking pride in our town.”
Sylvia Lambe said: “I loved watching the programme and seeing Ayr made me proud to say I was born there.”
Colin Stevens added: “I would move there tomorrow if I got the chance- my mother was born in Ayr.”
The couple toured the area, soaked up the atmosphere and rich history and were keen on the location but not 100 percent on the properties they were shown.
Nicki said: “Whilst we didn’t manage to quite find them their perfect property, Ayr certainly delivered in being their perfect town.”

Kim Kardashian surprises mother Kris Jenner with touching birthday gift
Kim Kardashian West rented out her childhood home as a special birthday surprise for her mother Kris Jenner.
Kardashian West gathered her family – including sisters Kourtney and Khloe and half-sisters Kylie and Kendall Jenner – and her mother’s friends at the Beverly Hills Hotel in a ruse before revealing the true gift, which she said had caused her to cry during the planning process because of the memories of her childhood and her late father, Robert Kardashian.
Jenner burst into tears when she learned what the real present was in a video shared by Kardashian West on Instagram.
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star described her mother as “sentimental”, telling her 151 million fans: “For her birthday I planned a small lunch, with just her kids and her closest friends of 40 + years. I sent out invites with a location where we all met.
“When everyone arrived, I told them I had a surprise and this wasn’t where we would be eating. I then gave everyone the REAL invitation and once everyone saw the address for where we would be going tears filled the room. I rented our childhood home.
“All of our memories live here especially with our dad. It’s where each Kardashian child was born and made us who we are.”
Kardashian West, 39, said that, while growing up, “the home had the most ridiculous wallpaper and kitchen set”, and she revealed she remade all of their table settings and decor out of “the same fabric and print as the wallpaper”.
“We had lunch at the home as if it hadn’t changed and we cried the entire time.”
The TV star and businesswoman added that there was another surprise for her mother, writing: “When we walked out to get our cars to drive there, I had another surprise!
“I had rented every car my parents ever owned. I had some waiting outside so we could drive them to the house and the rest were lined up in the driveway of the house exactly how my parents used to have them parked.
“I even remade the exact license plates.  We drove to the home in these cars and relived our childhood!
“This was the best day ever. I am so proud I was able to keep such a meaningful surprise a secret from my mom and sisters for weeks! This was the most special, nostalgic day of my life and we felt my dad’s presence enjoying this day with us!
“I kept it together and didn’t cry the entire lunch even though I cried during the entire planning process.
“But at the end I went into my old bathroom, closed the door and cried so hard.”


AC/DC (stylized as ACϟDC) are an Australian rock band formed in Sydney in 1973 by Scottish-born brothers Malcolm and Angus Young.[1] Although their music has been variously described as hard rock, blues rock, and heavy metal,[2] the band themselves call it simply "rock and roll".[3] AC/DC underwent several line-up changes before releasing their first album, 1975's High Voltage. Membership subsequently stabilised around the Young brothers, singer Bon Scott, drummer Phil Rudd, and bassist Mark Evans. Evans was fired from the band in 1977 and replaced by Cliff Williams, who has appeared on every AC/DC album since 1978's Powerage. In February 1980, Scott died of acute alcohol poisoning after a night of heavy drinking.[4] The group considered disbanding but elected to stay together, bringing in longtime Geordie vocalist Brian Johnson as Scott's replacement.[5] Later that year, the band released their first album with Johnson, Back in Black, which was dedicated to Scott's memory. The album launched AC/DC to new heights of success and became one of the best selling albums of all time. The band's eighth studio album, For Those About to Rock We Salute You (1981), was their first album to reach number one in the United States. Prior the release of 1983's Flick of the Switch, drummer Rudd left the band and was replaced by Simon Wright, being in turn replaced by Chris Slade in 1989. The band experienced a commercial resurgence in the early nineties with the release of 1990's The Razors Edge. Rudd returned to the band in 1994, replacing Slade and appearing on the band's next four albums. Their fifteenth studio album Black Ice was the second-highest-selling album of 2008, and their biggest chart hit since For Those About to Rock, eventually reaching No.1 worldwide.[6]
AC/DC have sold more than 200 million records worldwide, including 71.5 million albums in the United States, making them the tenth highest-selling artist in the United States and the 14th best selling artist worldwide.[7][8][9] Back in Black has sold an estimated 50 million units worldwide, making it the third highest-selling album by any artist, and the highest-selling album by any band. The album has sold 22 million units in the US, where it is the sixth-highest-selling album of all time.[10] AC/DC ranked fourth on VH1's list of the "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock"[11][12] and were named the seventh "Greatest Heavy Metal Band of All Time" by MTV.[13] In 2004, AC/DC ranked No. 72 on the Rolling Stone list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time". Producer Rick Rubin, who wrote an essay on the band for the Rolling Stone list, referred to AC/DC as "the greatest rock and roll band of all time".[14] In 2010, VH1 ranked AC/DC number 23 in its list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time".[15]
In November 1973, Malcolm and Angus Young formed AC/DC with bassist Larry Van Kriedt, vocalist Dave Evans, and ex-Masters Apprentices drummer Colin Burgess.[25] Gene Pierson booked the band to play at Chequers nightclub on New Year's Eve, 1973.[26] By this time, Angus Young had adopted his characteristic school-uniform stage outfit. The idea was his sister Margaret's. Angus had tried other costumes: Spider-Man, Zorro, a gorilla, and a parody of Superman, named Super-Ang.[19] In its early days, most members of the band dressed in some form of glam or satin outfit. On stage, Evans was occasionally replaced by the band's first manager, Dennis Laughlin, who was the original lead singer with Sherbet. In Paul Stenning's book AC/DC: Two Sides To Every Glory it was stated that Evans did not get along with Laughlin, which also contributed to the band's bitter feeling toward Evans.[27] By the middle of 1974, the band had built up a strong live reputation, which led to a support slot for the visiting Lou Reed. Sometime in 1974, on the recommendation of Michael Chugg, veteran Melbourne promoter Michael Browning booked the band to play at his club, the Hard Rock. He was not pleased with their glam rock image and felt that Evans was the wrong singer for the band, but was impressed by the Young brothers' guitar playing. Shortly afterward, he received a call from the band; Laughlin had quit as manager, and they were stuck in Adelaide with no money. Browning agreed to bail them out and booked them for another gig at the Hard Rock. Following the gig, they agreed to take him on as their new manager, with the co-operation of their older brother George and Harry Vanda.[28] The Young brothers decided to abandon the glam rock image which had already been adopted by Melbourne band The Skyhooks and pursue a harder blues-rock sound. To this end, they agreed that Evans was not a suitable frontman for the group.[27] Around this time, they also moved their base to Melbourne, where they frequently played at the Hard Rock.

O say can you see only indistinct blurs? As you squelch through the marsh on your way to the pig sty.
In the cold misty dawn you are poked at with twigs by the sprites of the marsh who are strident and captious.
You're not wearing your specs. You're disorientated. You sink to your knees in the vapours of marsh gas.
The sprites harry you, and they hector you too. You spill all the pigfeed out of your tin pail.
Such a dawning as this, on a wet Wednesday morn, it does make you wonder why e'er you were born.

At first input is passed and some variable are initialized
Running the loop to determine number of spaces in the input by using .length() property which returns the total length of the string. If any character is equal to space length is added one which is denoted by length++.
Array of string is initialized and for loop based on range is applied to it.
variable 'x' is of auto type and it will contain single character, as the loop goes on if 'x' is not equal to space then word will be added to x else word will be assigned to filesNameArr[number]. 'word.erase()' will erase all contents of word
Array of ofstream objects are initialized to make files. We use stringstream to break string to words.
Running the loop for opening files. For c++11 and upper version we need not use .c_str()
all files along with make are made so, for removing the file we initialize string to "make" and currentlocation which is global variable in program and we use remove function available in cstdio to remove file.
