Bought dried kratom Premium cut dried leaf from a well-reputed internet supplier.
I brewed the tea late in the evening, last eaten some 2 or 3 hours earlier. I took 3 teaspoonfuls of the herb, poured 2,5 dcl of cold water over it, brought the tea to boil and then brewed on moderate temperature, in a closed kettle, for 15 mins. Strained the (very dark) liquid through a metal (was that the problem?) strainer, then poured another dcl of water over the leaves and left this second batch to simmer for 15 mins more. Then I strained it, mixed the two batches and reduced the tea in the kettle to some 2 dcl or less of dark infusion. I added Earl Grey black tea and a tablespoonful of white sugar. The resulting mixture tasted just fine, quite heavy, but spicy and seemed a bit sirupy.
I drank it slowly in a darkened room and waited, sitting and lying. Good music was on. No effects came, not even after 2 hours. Then I decided to go to sleep - I had some difficulty falling asleep, in fact. I had perhaps a slight feeling of time warp, as though much more time had passed than the clock showed, but this could be easily attributed to the ungodly hour (4:30 in the morning, dawn approaching). Having fallen asleep, I slept ok, dreamt nothing of importance and woke up to feel as normal as one can after going to bed at the hour.
Conclusion: I'll increase the dose by at least 100% and see what happens. Either it will work, or another expensive herb (after kanna last week) has failed me. I might have underestimated the neutralising potential of my endocrine or nervous systems... Or I might well be forced to conclude that legal 'drugs' are legal for a reason.

Jenkins can scan the files in your source and resource folders for open tasks, like TODO or FIXME markers or @deprecated tags. When this option is configured, Jenkins can provide useful information about open tasks, such as historical result trend, web UI for viewing the tasks, and so on. Note that no special maven goal is required to activate this plug-in, it is automatically called after the first maven goal has been finished.
This plug-in is not invoked for failed builds, it is only called for stable or unstable builds (i.e., a build with failed tests).

I reference myself as vivacious and idealistic who relishes on producing applications and user-interfaces which heightens the user-experience. The level of innovativeness I possess is merely remarkable. I bring the RedBull effect!
As a interface designer my primary objective is revitalizing how users interact with applications, it's truly about invoking the wow factor.
I've created several interactive web applications, standalone applications and websites directed toward an innate group of users from "grade students" to small business users. Languages used PHP, HTML, Bootstrap, CSS, JavaScript, JavaFX, Java, JavaEE and MySQL(Database). Commonly, used frameworks and IDE's are AngularJS,Spring Boot, IntelliJ IDEA, NetBeans, Eclipse, and Visual Studio Code.
Proficient with coding in Java. Designing and implementing both JavaEE web and standalone applications.
Extraordinary skills creating icons, buttons, interface-components, and background images.
Commonly used method essential to fabricating scalable and efficient applications, software, and user-interface


New Longhorn Site for Academics
Here. "There are many sites on the web related to Longhorn already, but none that are geared towards academia. In fact, the most common sites like LonghornBlogs.com are made up largely of Microsoft employees. We think that an independent site where users can share their knowledge but also opinion will go a long way towards making Longhorn a better product for everyone!"
LonghornBlogs.com is for anyone, but a site for academics interested in Longhorn is a good thing, too. Welcome!


The URL connection format
mongodb://[username:password@]host1[:port1][,host2[:port2],...[,hostN[:portN]]][/[database][?options]]
The URL format is unified across official drivers from Mongodb with some options not supported on some drivers due to implementation differences. The ones not supported by the Node.js driver are left out for simplicities sake.
Basic parts of the url
mongodb://
is a required prefix to identify that this is a string in the standard connection format.username:password@
is optional. If given, the driver will attempt to login to a database after connecting to a database server.host1
is the only required part of the URI. It identifies either a hostname, IP address, or unix domain socket:portX
is optional and defaults to :27017 if not provided./database
is the name of the database to login to and thus is only relevant if the username:password@ syntax is used. If not specified the “admin” database will be used by default.?options
are connection options. Note that if database is absent there is still a / required between the last host and the ? introducing the options. Options are name=value pairs and the pairs are separated by “&“. For any unrecognized or unsupported option, a driver should log a warning and continue processing. A driver should not support any options that are not explicitly defined in this specification. This is in order to reduce the likelihood that different drivers will support overlapping that differ in small but incompatible ways (like different name, different values, or different default value).
Replica set configuration:
replicaSet=name
- The driver verifies that the name of the replica set it connects to matches this name. Implies that the hosts given are a seed list, and the driver will attempt to find all members of the set.
- No default value.
Connection Configuration:
ssl=true|false|prefer
- true: the driver initiates each connections with SSL
- false: the driver initiates each connection without SSL
- prefer: the driver tries to initiate each connection with SSL, and falls back to without SSL if it fails.
- Default value is false.
connectTimeoutMS=ms
- How long a connection can take to be opened before timing out.
- Current driver behavior already differs on this, so the default must be left to each driver. For new implementations, the default should be to never timeout.
socketTimeoutMS=ms
- How long a send or receive on a socket can take before timing out.
- Current driver behavior already differs on this, so the default must be left to each driver. For new implementations, the default should be to never timeout.
Connection pool configuration:
maxPoolSize=n:
The maximum number of connections in the connection pool- Default value is 5
Write concern configuration:
More detailed information about write concerns can be found at http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/getLastError+Command
w=wValue
- For numeric values above 1, the driver adds { w : wValue } to the getLastError command.
- wValue is typically a number, but can be any string in order to allow for specifications like “majority”
- Default value is 1.
- wValue == -1 ignore network errors
- wValue == 0 no write acknowledgement
- wValue == 1 perform a write acknowledgement
- wValue == 2 perform a write acknowledgement across primary and one secondary
- wValue == ‘majority’ perform a write acknowledgement across the majority of servers in the replicaset
- wValue == ‘tag name’ perform a write acknowledgement against the replicaset tag name
wtimeoutMS=ms
- The driver adds { wtimeout : ms } to the getlasterror command.
- Used in combination with w
- No default value
journal=true|false
- true: Sync to journal.
- false: the driver does not add j to the getlasterror command
- Default value is false
fsync=true|false
- true: Sync to disk.
- false: the driver does not add fsync to the getlasterror command
- Default value is false
- If conflicting values for fireAndForget, and any write concern are passed the driver should raise an exception about the conflict.
Auth options
authSource=string:
Used when the user for authentication is stored in another database using indirect authentication.- Default value is null
Read Preference
slaveOk=true|false:
Whether a driver connected to a replica set will send reads to slaves/secondaries.- Default value is false
readPreference=enum:
The read preference for this connection. If set, it overrides any slaveOk value.- Enumerated values:
- primary
- primaryPreferred
- secondary
- secondaryPreferred
- nearest
- Default value is primary
- Enumerated values:
readPreferenceTags=string.
A representation of a tag set as a comma-separated list of colon-separated key-value pairs, e.g.dc:ny,rack:1
. Spaces should be stripped from beginning and end of all keys and values. To specify a list of tag sets, using multiple readPreferenceTags, e.g.readPreferenceTags=dc:ny,rack:1&readPreferenceTags=dc:ny&readPreferenceTags=
- Note the empty value, it provides for fallback to any other secondary server if none is available
- Order matters when using multiple readPreferenceTags
- There is no default value

At the beginning of 2013 I started learning about elasticsearch. I was looking at existing plugins for elasticsearch with basic functionality to learn about the data in the elasticsearch index. I did not really find what I was looking for. Therefore I started writing my own plugin. The goal for this project is to learn about the capabilities of elasticsearch and learn about some other frameworks along the way. These frameworks are described on the right side of this page.
By now the plugins is becoming usable. There are means to experiment with a search engine. You can look at the effects of some options to the executed query. You can even look at some graphs.
In the nearby future I am planning on creating more features related to facets, filters and other more advanced stuff.
You can install this plugin in your own elasticsearch instance, but you can also use a deployed version on my website. I do my best to keep it up to date.
http://www.gridshore.nl/esguiIf you find bugs or have ideas for improvements, please use github.
https://github.com/jettro/elasticsearch-guiAngularJS is the MVC framework for the client. The nice thing about using angularjs for an elasticsearch plugin is that you can create a static site plugin. Still using angularjs you can create a very rich client side application.
Twitter bootstrap is started as a pure css/html library to enable developers to create nice looking websites without to much effort. Nowadays a lot of (javascript) components are available that make life even easier.
This is the glue between twitter bootstrap and angularjs. This library provides a number of directive that enable developers to easily create rich client side components.
