I grew up involved in politics in Iowa. I spent a half of my senior year of high school working in the Iowa Statehouse. I was Governor Terry E Branstad's (R) Page. I learned the structure of the statehouse - the State Reps and the State Senators, legislation, lobbyist, and citizens. It was a good place to learn about the value of representation of all the citizens of the state. Teaching the rule, that all politics are local, and the State Capitol is where you should find the citizen legislator. I had the advantage of working for the Governor and watching how to negotiate a Democrat controlled State Senate and a Republican controlled State House. Legislation for the state must be passed and enacted each Session, going beyond politics. I worked in Congressman Jim Leach's Office (IA-R) as his Legislative Assistant for Agriculture and Economic policy in DC. I worked for a Congressman who was known for his integrity and listening skills. He painted his walls grey, since he understood no policy could be black or white or red or blue. He was a Republican in a Democratic district. I also worked for the Conference of State Bank Supervisors in Washington DC. I worked in the Government section and assisted with lobbying both sides of the aisle at the US Capitol. At Civica AMC Colorado, my work involved supporting lobbying efforts for the Colorado Nurses Association and Foundation, Colorado Hospice Association, Colorado Physical Therapy Association, and the Colorado Campground Association, to name a few. I also coordinated Capitol Days for our Association’s members to walk the halls and meet their state Senators and Representatives. I took on this responsibility to get back to the Statehouse to organize our Association members to be active in lobbying for bills that were important to their industry. This job had me involved with both sides of the aisle.

Greenwood Village Arts and Humanities Council (2015 – present) – past Council Chair Young Voices of Colorado Board of Directors (2014 – present). Volunteer of the Year 2019 Native American Culture and Equity (NACE), Denver Public School Parent Organization (2020) Dress for Success, Denver. Volunteer (2020) Denver School of the Arts Vocal Advisory Committee (2018-2019) Littleton High School, Post-Graduation Center, PTO Volunteer (2013 – 2016) Destination Imagination: Served as team coach for 5 years, National Qualifying Team in 2008 Boy Scout Merit Badge Counselor, Cub Scout Den Leader (Webelo) (2014 –2016)
I have always been a volunteer and involved in community work. The only change was the community I was living in through the years. I grew up on a farm and learned the importance of community. I now work for an agriculture association and work every day to move the needle to promote beef and sustain the business of US Farmers and Ranchers. I volunteer for the Arts. I have been serving for nearly 6 years on the Greenwood Village Arts and Humanities Council. I advocate to enhance the Arts in Greenwood Village, to fund our high school scholarship program and to diversify our programming on the board. I have sat on the board at Young Voices of Colorado for 6 years. During the fight to defund Tier III of SCFD, I went to the Capitol to lobby in favor of setting aside more funds for Tier III. Tier III organizations are the non-profits reaching out to the community to participate in the arts at a low-cost entry level. Recently, I have become more involved in Native American community groups. Now that Zoom allows easy access to conferences and webinars, I have taken the opportunity to join Native webinars for diversity education. I have joined the Native American Culture and Equity group through Denver Public Schools. Being Choctaw, I have chosen to become educated and to be an advocate for my Nation. Working for a Colorado association management firm, I have worked with volunteer leaders from across the state in the health industry, including the Colorado Nurses Association. Part of this work included optimizing their voice by finding common interests across rural and metropolitan areas. I also worked with volunteer leaders of the Colorado Campground Association creating a map of camping regions based on geographic location and character. Recently I joined other community members in opposition to a resolution passed by Greenwood Village City Council which ran counter to state legislation to improve police oversite. My letter stressed the importance of not passing a resolution that divided our community, state, and nation.
I want to be a part of the commission because I believe this process will serve Colorado well by giving a voice to the citizens instead of the political parties. I feel I will be a good choice since I believe in fairness and creating a balanced legislative body that represents the diverse constituents of Colorado. I believe that a Member of the legislature at the state or national level should have to listen to the views of the entire district. If you have a district with a sense of balance of views, then the legislator will need to moderate their views and be consensus driven to keep their seat. I think this would be a step to moderate and calm the political climate in the state. I feel it is essential for Colorado legislators to be responsive and represent their constituents. Political parties should not control the citizen legislator. While coalitions and caucuses are needed to move legislation, legislators must first listen to constituents. I have been exposed to a wide range of views based on my personal experiences. I have lived around the world and coexisted with people of all cultures. I have worked in both the statehouse here in Colorado and the US Capitol. I have spent most of my life working for constituents in association management and with volunteer leaders. I understand the need of serving the greater good from my 20+ years as an Active Duty Navy spouse and now a Veteran's spouse. I feel I represent the views of women, military members, agriculture, rural citizens, and Native Americans.
I am a good listener. I think listening is the most important part of communication. I do not believe in sidebar deals but think the committee should come to consensus. I can be fair and impartial, and I would approach this with an open mind to all views. I am interested in serving on this Commission for the best outcome possible. This only happens every 10 years, and it needs to be right. Colorado must be districted to keep communities together and to award legislators that will represent the varied views of the District. No District should be known as a Democrat or Republican District, but a District of a location of Colorado citizens that need fair and equal representation. I hope this is possible with the Commission that is chosen to complete this important job.
Every day I work to create consensus with the voices and needs of our state partners. AT NCBA I must balance the state interest from across the Nation to coordinate and implement programming and messaging to promote a unified national beef message. I balance beef marketing statistics; market trends, industry news and state need to develop agendas for Federation road maps for the organization. My educational background is in Economics, and I do not shy away from spreadsheets and data analysis. I am more comfortable making decisions that can be supported on data and analysis. I also run the webstore, BeefStore.org for the Beef. It’s What’s For Dinner. brand. Everything that I choose to have sold on the store I investigate the past purchases, demand trends over time, need by states for extension of promotional programs, availability from supplier, and cost of goods. With a limited budget, it is essential to use market data and history to create a plan to move forward. This Commission is not a webstore, but it needs to have data and analysis done to create the plan to move forward.

A map from a linear space to value objects.
The partmap is a template class taking:
Let R be the linear space with an ordering, and let { a_i } be a finite set of points in R. The a_i partition R into a finite number of disjoint sets { x : x < a_0 }, { x : x>=a_0 && x < a_1 }, ... { x : x>=a_i && x < a_i+1 }, ... { x : x>=a_n }
A partmap maps elements of this partition to _valuetype objects A _valuetype is then associated with any element x in R by looking up the value associated with the partition element containing x.
The map is defined by starting with a default value object that applies to the whole linear space. Then split points are introduced, one at a time, in the linear space. At each split point, the associated value object is split into two objects. At any point the value object describing some part of the linear space can be changed.
| const _valuetype & partmap< _linetype, _valuetype >::bounds | ( | const _linetype & | pnt, |
| _linetype & | before, | ||
| _linetype & | after, | ||
| int & | valid | ||
| ) | const |
Get the value object for a given point and return the range over which the value object applies.
Pass back a before and after point defining the maximal range over which the value applies. An additional validity code is passed back describing which of the bounding points apply:
| pnt | is the given point around which to compute the range |
| before | is a reference to the passed back lower bound |
| after | is a reference to the passed back upper bound |
| valid | is a reference to the passed back validity code |
| _valuetype & partmap< _linetype, _valuetype >::clearRange | ( | const _linetype & | pnt1, |
| const _linetype & | pnt2 | ||
| ) |
Clear a range of split points.
Split points are introduced at the two boundary points of the given range, and all split points in between are removed. The value object that was initially present at the left-most boundary point becomes the value (as a copy) for the whole range.
| pnt1 | is the left-most boundary point of the range |
| pnt2 | is the right-most boundary point |
| _valuetype & partmap< _linetype, _valuetype >::getValue | ( | const _linetype & | pnt | ) |
Get the value object at a point.
Look up the first split point coming before the given point and return the value object it maps to. If there is no earlier split point return the default value.
| pnt | is the given point in the linear space |
| const _valuetype & partmap< _linetype, _valuetype >::getValue | ( | const _linetype & | pnt | ) | const |
Get the value object at a point.
Look up the first split point coming before the given point and return the value object it maps to. If there is no earlier split point return the default value.
| pnt | is the given point in the linear space |
| _valuetype & partmap< _linetype, _valuetype >::split | ( | const _linetype & | pnt | ) |
Introduce a new split point.
Add (if not already present) a point to the linear partition.
| pnt | is the (new) point |


Rejoice: ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ Is Coming Back For An Eighth Season
by Joseph EarpThings looked a little dicey for Brooklyn Nine-Nine there.
The Andy Samberg-led comedy might always have had a loyal and dedicated fanbase. But that wasn’t enough to save it when the network decided to pull the plug, surreptitiously cancelling the show. Of course, those fans got involved and saved the thing, but it wasn’t entirely clear that the critically-acclaimed sitcom was going to make it through to the conclusion that the creators genuinely intended.
For that reason, we should get into the practice of celebrating Brooklyn Nine-Nine literally every time we find out that it’s gotten renewed.
Which is timely, cause today it’s been announced that the show will be back for an eighth season.
The squad themselves reacted to the news by… Well, I mean, just watch:
Just beautiful.
Also, why not take this opportunity to remember the show’s finest hour, the cold open to end all cold opens?

[gecode-users] Problem compiling
Martin Mann
qyu at gmx.de
Mon Jan 21 00:34:02 CET 2008
Hi Mauricio,
from time to time I encountered some linker problems with g++ due to the ordering of the libraries to link. (I am not sure if I did static or dynamic linking)
check: http://www.network-theory.co.uk/docs/gccintro/gccintro_18.html
Maybe that's the case here too. Check your ordering of the gecode libs - in general the opposite order of the includes.
Think e.g. -lgecodekernel has to be the last one not the second.
Hope it may work but further information is neccessary as Christian said.

a. General
Quoted From Contabo.com
You get full root access (for Linux) or full administrator access (for Windows) to your Server. This means you can install any software you want on your Server.
For Linux remote access, please let us recommend the SSH client 'putty' - Windows server can be controlled via the 'Remote Desktop' client. Additionally, every VPS and Virtual Dedicated Server can be controlled via VNC by default.
Quoted From Contabo.com
In general, our Servers are unmanaged root servers. Our customers have exclusive access to their Servers. Provided that there are no violations against German law or our ToS (Terms of Service) we do not check what you are using your Server for.
You can perform reinstallations or boot a rescue system anytime for free. Please contact us via Help Page to do this.
Yes you can to that, you can upgrade to the next server package, but let us know when you needed it. Your monthly price will follow the newest one.
All VPS hosting packages are provided with dedicated public IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
b. Virtual Private Server
Quoted From Hostens.com
VPS hosting allows you to host your website or application. VPS hosting is an affordable solution for website owners who have low to medium, or even high level traffic or for developers who are looking to create and expand software.
VPS hosting is a virtual private server located in a physical server in a data center. VPS is a virtualized environment with more possibilities to set up your own server's settings and manage resources. VPS server can be operated from a command line (terminal),
alternatively, you can install any commonly used control panel.
Quoted from Hostens.com
A dedicated server is a physical server that is located in the data center. VPS server is a part of a dedicated physical server with its operating system and virtual resources like RAM, disk space and CPU.

In this dialog you can set the displayed range in the plotting area. You can enter boundary values for the x, y and z axis. If you check the Fix x-Scale to y-Scale checkbox the x-range is always calculated from the y-range and the window size, so that the x-scale and the y-scale are the same. Note that the "From" values on the left must be smaller than the "To" values on the right.

Asparagus served in the classic way is delicious, but I wanted to mix the flavours of the spring with the warmer flavours and textures of the summer.
For the paprika dressing, mix all the ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside.
For the hard-boiled eggs and grilled asparagus, using a spoon, slide the eggs gently into a small pan of water. Bring to a simmer for 13 minutes, then remove the eggs and immediately run them under cold water. While still warm, peel the eggs then transfer to the fridge. Once cold, separate the whites from the yolks and coarsely grate each part (keep them separated), then set aside.
Lay five asparagus spears side by side and secure them together using two metal skewers (thread a skewer through each end of the asparagus, avoiding the tips, so that the spears are kept straight). Repeat with the remaining asparagus. Blanch in a large saucepan of boiling water for 3 minutes, then immediately plunge them into cold water to stop the cooking and dry well (leave them on the skewers).
To cook the asparagus, heat a griddle pan over a high heat. Brush the skewered spears lightly with olive oil. When the pan is hot, lay the asparagus in it, flat, and leave for 3 minutes to gain deep griddle marks. Turn over using tongs and griddle for another 3 minutes. (If necessary do the griddling in batches; simply keep the asparagus warm in an oven preheated to 80C/60C Fan/Gas ¼ while you grill the remaining asparagus.)
For the vegetable crumble, in a large frying pan or sauté pan over a high heat, add the olive oil and fry the courgettes, cauliflower, shallot, chilli, paprika and a pinch of salt for 30 seconds. Add 80ml/3fl oz water, the lemon juice, parsley, chives and grated egg white. Boil for 5 seconds then remove from the heat. Stir in the egg yolk and check the seasoning.
To serve, put a spoonful of the vegetable crumble in the centre of each plate and arrange a stack of the grilled asparagus on top. Finish with a drizzle of the paprika dressing.


What is Docker¶
to be described
Step 1 - setting up the servers¶
Nowadays the servers are usually preinstalled or an installation process can be kicked off via web interface. For the F4A usecase we chose Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Long term support).
First we should ensure that the system is up-to-date and secure. This is done by kicking off the advanced packaging tool (apt). Within this process we can directly install the docker server component. All steps are done by issueing the following command:
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y && apt install -y docker.io
As docker is still being developed, certain functionality still changes.  A swarm is a group of computers:
docker swarm init --advertise-addr <IP_ADDRESS>
getting the feedback:
Swarm initialized: current node (r3t3pu7rd74njml1afsf2uoev) is now a manager.
To add a worker to this swarm, run the following command:
docker swarm join \
--token <some secret token displayed here> \
<IP_ADDRESS>:2377
To add a manager to this swarm, run 'docker swarm join-token manager' and follow the instructions.
If you dont remember the token etc - just run:
docker swarm join-token worker
Step 3 - preparing the domain¶
register any domain you like. Just make sure that the domain names are pointing to all the server IPs you have. With that load balancing / failover is possible:
f4a.me. 86400 IN SOA nsa3.schlundtech.de. mail.tillwitt.de.<PHONE_NUMBER> 43200 7200 1209600 86400
f4a.me. 86400 IN NS nsa3.schlundtech.de.
f4a.me. 86400 IN NS nsb3.schlundtech.de.
f4a.me. 86400 IN NS nsc3.schlundtech.de.
f4a.me. 86400 IN NS nsd3.schlundtech.de.
f4a.me. 600 IN MX 10 mail.f4a.me.

together with percentage offsets like data-_foo-75p
,
the value was implicitly handled as percentage value 100p
. Starting with this version you need to explcitly use 100p
if you want percentage constants.
On the plus side, you can now mix an absolute constant with a percentage keyframe or a percentage constant with an absolute keyframe.
0.6.18 (2013-12-18)
- Fixed scrolling on input elements (#397).
0.6.17 (2013-10-19)
- Fixed keyboard not appearing on some mobile browsers when an input was focused (#349).
0.6.16 (2013-10-18)

z-index:auto;
not working because it was always coerced to an integer (#351).

getMaxScrollTop
method (#238).
0.6.14 (2013-10-03)
- Fixed the
direction
parameter that’s passed to the render events (#339).
0.6.13 (2013-09-29)
- Added support for percentage offsets (#185).
0.6.12 (2013-09-17)
- Added
destroy
method (#109).
0.6.11 (2013-08-13)
- Made the mobile deceleration configurable and lowered the default (#222, #229).
0.6.10 (2013-07-30)
- Fixed bug which caused IE to perform an endless loop (#271).
0.6.9 (2013-07-01)
- Improved overall performance for mobile (#249).
0.6.8 (2013-06-17)
- Added a new option
smoothScrollingDuration
.
0.6.7 (2013-06-17)
- Changed the default value of
edgeStrategy
from ease
to set
. There are too many cases where ease
was not wanted and unexpected.
0.6.6 (2013-06-05)
- Fixed IE plugin not working. This was caused by assigning
skrollr.setStyle
to a local variable inside the skrollr core. Since the IE plugin monkey-patches the skrollr.setStyle function, the core didn’t notice the change (#199 comment 18986949).
0.6.5 (2013-05-22)
- Fixed crash in IE < 9 because the detected prefix was
null
(#220).
0.6.4 (2013-05-21)
- Fixed that some elements got the
skrollable-before
and skrollable-after
class at the same time.
0.6.3 (2013-05-19)
- When resizing the browser, the scroll position was reset to 0 (#217)
0.6.2 (2013-05-18)
- When resizing the browser,
forceHeight
was colliding with the already forced height (#216).
0.6.1 (2013-05-18)
- Allow numbers inside of easing function names (#152).
0.6.0 (2013-05-18)
Expect things to break when coming from 0.5! Read through the changelog. Migration is not hard.
- [breaking] There’s no more
skrollr.mobile.js
file. You only need skrollr.js
. You no longer need to conditionally include skrollr.mobile.js
.
- You can configure how skrollr detects mobile browsers using the
mobileCheck
option (check out the documentation).
- [possibly breaking] The meaning of the
#skrollr-body
element changed. Put all static elements inside of it and all absolute/fixed elements outside. It doesn’t need to be the first child of the body anymore.
- [breaking] The
rendered
and unrendered
classes where renamed because they were confusing and wrong. They’re now called skrollable-before
and skrollable-after
, because that’s their meaning (the element with these classes is before/after the first/last keyframe).
- Added a new class
skrollable-between
, because symmetry. That’s why.
- Easing functions are now applied when exactly at a keyframe (#132).
- [possibly breaking] The behavior changed for the case when the scroll position is before/after the first/last keyframe (I’m just gonna use “before first” from now on, because “after last” is analog). In 0.5 the behavior was not exactly specified and buggy (see item above regarding #132). Skrollr was applying the styles of the first keyframe to the element for all scroll position that were before the first keyframe. E.g. when
data-100="top:200px;"
was the first keyframe, the element had top:200px;
at all scroll positions before (all from 0
to 99
). From now on you can specify the behavior you want (see edgeStrategy
option for details, set it to set
for old behavior). Note: 0.6.7 and up use set
as default.
0.5.14
- Add a
skrollr-mobile
class to the html element when the mobile script is included.
0.5.13 (2013-02-08)
131: Use a cross browser approach for getting the body scroll-height.
133: Use the maximum of document height or the max keyframe for edge cases where absolute keyframes are used in a relative-mode-like document and data-end
was calculated wrong.
0.5.12 (2013-02-08)
121: Fixed prefix detection in Safari.
0.5.11 (2013-01-18)
126: When calling refresh(), force rerendering, even if the scrollbar didn’t move.
0.5.10
104: Fixed the most annoying bug on mobile. There was a large blank space at the bottom of the page.
0.5.9
118: Fixed broken prefix detection. Was broken all the time, but worked before Firefox 18.
0.5.8 (2013-01-12)
116 + #117: SVG support was broken for relative mode.
0.5.7
103: skrollr no longer depends on being added to the bottom of the document.
0.5.6
105: Fixed inconsistent behaviour for adding rendered
and unrendered
class on page load
0.5.5
100: Fixed relative-mode not working correctly in IE < 9 due to crippled getBoundingClientRect
0.5.4 (2012-11-18)
80: When resizing the browser window the calculation of relative mode was wrong when the element’s vertical position was changed before.
0.5.3
66: Make IE 7 support a light version of data-anchor-target
by mapping querySelector
to getElementById
.
0.5.2
78: Fixed that new parser didn’t allowed omitting the last semicolon in a keyframe property list.
0.5.1 (2012-10-29)
- Fixed
setScrollTop
and animateTo
not working because iScroll uses negative offset.
0.5.0 (2012-10-09)
- breaking the
plugin
api has been removed (the IE plugin has been updated to a new, hidden api).
- Full mobile support using iscroll.
73: Fixed parser to not mess up colons inside URLs
74: Fixed parser to not treat single periods as decimal numbers
76: Fixed dummy element overlaping the content, even though it should be unobtrusive
0.4.13
58: forceHeight
now handles relative mode like a boss.
59: Make scale
option only affect absolute mode.
0.4.12
64: Setting float
property using JavaScript didn’t work across browser. Now using styleFloat
and cssFloat
properties.
0.4.11 (2012-09-17)
- The
scale
option does not affect constants
.
0.4.10
- Allow smooth scrolling on element level using
data-smooth-scrolling
0.4.9
- Added experimental smooth scrolling (no more CSS transitions. WORKS IN IE.).
0.4.8

relativeToAbsolute
which was formerly private
- New method
isAnimatingTo
to check if an animation caused by animateTo
is running
- Added
sqrt
easing function
0.4.5
- Experimental mobile support using https://github.com/zynga/scroller
0.4.4
- A
skrollr
class is added to the HTML element and a no-skrollr
class is removed when init
is called. Useful for fallback styling.
0.4.3 (2012-08-02)
- Added new feature “constants”.
0.4.2 (2012-07-26)
- Added new feature “anchor-target” which allows elements to react to other elements leaving/entering the viewport.
0.4.1 (2012-07-25)
- Fixed a bug which broke skrollr in IE caused by wrong regular expression behavior
0.4.0 (2012-07-22)
- breaking the
data-end-[offset]
syntax changed. It’s now data-[offset]-end
.
- Fixed a bug where white spaces between style declarations were not ignored.
- Added support for anchors. Animations can now be specified relative to the elements position within the viewport.
- Added support for SVG elements.

If wild hamsters burrow down to depths of 2 metres?
I've been reading a National Geographic article about hamsters. I knew that Syrian hamsters were first taken into captivity in 1930, but it's been interesting to learn that their existence was first documented, in 1797 by physician Alexander Russell, in a publication called "The Natural History of Aleppo"". It'll be the 220th anniversary of that sometime this year. I must insist on having a celebration...maybe some cake...
I was more surprised by the details of the 1930 capture of my ancestors. Israel Aharoni had to dig down 8 feet (2.4 meters) to find a hamster family. I'm going to have to put an extension to my cage on my wish list. I'm never going to get touch with my wildness if I can only burrow for a few centimetres.
At least my humans have been trying to tantalise my tastbuds. They came home from Blackpool's Wilko shop with some new snacks. The locust bean treats didn't look too appetising, but they tasted good. I also got a new little biscuit that had a surprisingly soft centre. It's supposed to taste like tropical fruit. Whatever it is, it was good.
A bit more worrying is the fact that as my humans were buying these tasty treats, a fellow shopper told them that her hamster loves yogurt. Now, I just know that I'm going to get a bowl full of the stuff one of these days. Just because one hamster likes it doesn't mean we all will.
Anyway, I think the next new taste coming my way is going to be a pea...and maybe a jostaberry... I'll let you know what I think of these offerings from our garden next time.

I had been curies of 2C-E for a while when one day my friend asked me if he could give me 2C-E and I wanted it.
We went to my girlfriends apartment on the south side of Stockholm (Sweden).
I remembered what my girlfriend had told me about 2C-products 'snort max-dose or donīt take anything'. My friend gave me two rolled cigarette papers and said: in this one there is 15 mgs of 2C-E and in the other one there was 10 mgs of 2C-E, I ate the one with 10 mgs and opened the one with 15 mgs, it was like cotton, difficult to line up but I did my best and took my Royal Deluxe snortpipe and snorted up the cottonlike chemical...
T 0:00- Pain, the great mother of all pain moved into my body, it felt like my chest was about to explode, my nose was in flames, my heart was also in pain.
T 0:05- Clear OEVīs, the 'background' was wobbling.
T 0:20- The pain was no longer around and it had left no trace of ever had been around.
T 0:30- Time to ingest an Ecstasy...
T 0:31- One more of the E.
Everything glowed, my friend said: time for me to go, I īve done here for this time...and he went out of the apartment.
My girlfriend had eaten 4 Ecstasy tabs. and said: donīt take more Eīs hunny, you donīt need them., hmmm, I thought why not, so I took one more.
T 2:30 My girly asked me if I wanted to take a bubblebath, when i felt the hot tubwater on my legs I felt goosebumps all over my body, I leaned backwards so my ears came under the bubbles and I heard the snap, cracle and pop in the most wonderful way possible.
After the bath I laid down on the bed, the Eīs was running strong now, I felt like it was growing teeths from the back of my mouth, I asked my girlfriend what to do with all these teeth that was growing...she laughed and me too!
T ??:?? I thought that me and my girlfriend had thought over my best friend, īcause he like appeard in the sofa, first I could only see the contures and then more and more.
I had smoked a Haschish-joint and the joint took me to the asylum of my mind, I looked at myself and felt dirty wearing only my underpants, and then there wes my best friend who looked fantastic, full of energy and joy, and my girlfriend on 8 Eīs, I was sure that the meaning of why me and my girlfriend had thought over my best buddy was because I was too dirty and filthy so he just came naturally to take my girlfriend from me, no wonder I felt like a wreck and I started to think that I didnīt belong on these planes where everyone of my friend were, my dad too.
But, It was the most fantastic experience everything was so energetic and beautiful.
After 13 hours of whirling around my girlfriend gave me 3 tabs of Theralen (sleeping pills) and said 'eat!', I asked why should I eat those Iīm not tired...dough!...
It took several days before I were able to speak of my beautiful horror experience with my best-friend and my girlfriend!
Next time I wonīt take anything but MAX-DOSE IN THE NOSE

How to make your own Kombucha
24 August 2020 recipe kombucha fermentingKombucha is easy to get started with, and reportedly has healthy effects on the body.  There are some risks, as with all fermented beverages, so if you’re not experienced with Kombucha, try a little first before proceeding.
What is Kombucha?
Kombucha is tea fermented with a specific culture of bacteria and yeast. The microorganisms form a floating mat in the brew that looks like a fungus, or mushroom as the tea ferments. The mat AND liquid is referred to as a SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast); many sources commonly refer to the mat only is the the SCOBY, but the liquid is also important.
Equipment
You will need some equipment to brew with:
- 1 gallon jar with a wide neck
- Cheese cloth, rubber band big enough to go around the jar neck
- 1 gallon flip top jar (or growler)
- 1 or more pressure resilient bottles
- Masking tape, or reusable labels; and a marker pen
Ingredients
- (To get started) Raw Kombucha - 48oz jar recommended
- Cane sugar
- Black tea - buy in bulk, as you’ll go through a lot
- Herbs, spices, fruit for flavorings
Recipe
Starting your own SCOBY
You can buy commercial SCOBYs, or you can start your own using a high quality Kombucha brew. I did the latter; one benefit of this is that you get a nice pressure-resilient bottle that you can refrigerate your brews in.
- Boil at least 32oz of water.
- Measure 1 cup of sugar in heat proof measuring jug.
- Pour 32oz of boiling water over sugar, and stir to dissolve.

- Wait 5 minutes.
- Fill wide neck jar up to about 2/3rds with cool water (NOTE - if you have a chlorinated water supply, you should dechlorinate the water first).
- Remove and discard tea bags, pour sweet tea brew into the wide neck jar, and stir.
- Top up jar to within 1 inch with the Raw Kombucha that you bought.
- Cover top with cheese cloth, secure with rubber band, label jar with the date, and put in an area that you’ll designate as your fermentation station - you want a corner out of direct sunlight, and with fairly even temperatures (I have a cupboard that I use specifically for fermenting - just make sure there’s reasonable airflow).
Congratulations! You’re well on your way. Now you have merely to sit back and wait. Over two weeks or so, you’ll start to see a SCOBY mat forming on the surface on the liquid. Your first mat probably won’t be super thick, but its formation is enough to let you know that the right things are happening. Once the mat is around 1/2 an inch or so thick (it may take longer in cooler temperatures), you’re ready to move to the second ferment. Move directly to the “Second Ferment” section below.
Regular brew cycle
Once you are up and running, you’ll establish a regular brew cycle. You have a first ferment happening in the wide neck jar, a second ferment in the flip top jar with whatever flavorings you want to us, and Kombucha ready for drinking in the bottle you bought your initial Raw Kombucha in.
Brewing a batch (First Ferment)
The first ferment instructions are very similar to the initial starting instructions above. In fact the only difference is that you no longer need commercial Raw Kombucha; you’ll transfer the SCOBY from your previous first ferment to the new one. Specific handling instructions are included below.
The purpose of the first ferment is to perform most of the fermentation. The bacteria and yeast will eat the majority of the sugar added, and a good deal of the tea. The ferment needs access to oxygen to get going, so you cover the jar with a cheese cloth while it’s happening.
- Boil at least 32oz of water.
- Measure 1 cup of sugar in heat proof measuring jug.
- Pour 32oz of boiling water over sugar, and stir to dissolve.

- Wait 5 minutes.
- In the meantime, free up the wide neck jar by transferring your prior batch to the flip top jar (instructions below), and rinse wide neck jar.
- Fill wide neck jar up to about 2/3rds with cool water (NOTE - if you have a chlorinated water supply, you should dechlorinate the water first). Order is important here; by adding the cool water first, you’re not pouring boiling water directly into the wide neck jar, which might crack it. Further, the Kombucha culture isn’t going to appreciate boiling water, so by diluting it (next step) you’re making the temperature amenable to the culture’s survival.
- Remove and discard tea bags, pour sweet tea brew into the wide neck jar, and stir.
- Top up jar to within 1 inch with the 1 cup of brew you reserved (instructions below), and add the SCOBY mat to the top. It will probably float, but if it sinks that’s OK too (it just means your tea/sugar brew is a little denser than it should be).
- Cover top with cheese cloth, secure with rubber band, label jar with the date, and stow it in your fermentation station.
Flavoring / finishing the batch (Second Ferment)
The second ferment is to develop and carbonation. The end result won’t be fizzy like soft drinks, but it will have a mild fermentation.
- While the sweet tea is brewing, remove the cheese cloth from the wide neck jar.
- Use a pair of forks to lift the SCOBY mat out from the top of the jar, and place into a dessert bowl temporarily.
- Use a measuring scoop or soup ladle to transfer around a cup of your first ferment brew into the dessert bowl. You want to scoop from the top, to ensure that it is bacteria rich (you’ll see yeast settling to the bottom of the jar as the ferment proceeds – so generally there’s more bacteria at the top than at the bottom.)
- Set dessert bowl aside - you’ll transfer the SCOBY back into your next first ferment (instructions above). Don’t leave it out for too long.
- If you have a prior second ferment going, use a funnel and sieve to pour it from the flip top jar to your pressure resilient bottle, and put the bottle in the fridge. (The sieve is necessary to remove stray strands of yeast, new SCOBY mats that may have attempted to form, and any fruit or herbs you flavored the brew with.) Rinse the flip top jar. Be careful pouring, as there may be some moderate carbonation, and it may foam up.
- Use a funnel and sieve to pour your first ferment into the flip top jar. You can sample it with a straw at this point, to get a sense for the flavor.
- Optionally, add fruit, herbs, or flavorings. (A handful of raspberries is a good starting flavor. Google around for other ideas).
- Secure the flip top, label the jar with the date, and stow in your fermentation station.
How long to ferment for
The total ferment time (first + second) is variable - you could go anywhere from 2 to 7 weeks in temperate climates, and have a drink that you might find appealing. The shorter the ferment time, the less sugar will be eaten by the microorganisms, and therefore the sweeter the drink. The longer the total ferment time, the sourer the drink. Once you bottle it and put it in the fridge, fermentation grinds to (almost) a halt, and the flavor will be stable. I tend to brew my first ferments for around 3 weeks, and second ferments around 2 weeks, but it varies.
You can make a Kombucha Vinegar by going longer - I made a 9 month old Chili Vinegar by adding chili mash to a 2 week old first ferment, and then brerwing the second ferment for the remaining 8 1/2 months. It was good. Do your own research though before experimenting, as there are risks the longer you ferment for.

Johnson about to dodge ‘shortest-serving PM’ label
George Canning looks set to hold on to his 119-day record.
Boris Johnson is about to avoid the dubious honour of being the UK’s shortest-serving prime minister.
Tuesday November 19 marks the 119th day of Mr Johnson’s premiership.
This is the same number of days clocked up as prime minister by George Canning in 1827, before he died in office.
Mr Canning currently holds the record for being the shortest-serving PM in UK history.
If the Conservatives lose the General Election on December 12, Mr Johnson would become the prime minister with the second shortest time in office.
But if he continues as PM, he will overtake another of his Tory predecessors just three days later, on December 15.
On this date he will pass the 1st Viscount Goderich, who served as prime minister for 144 days in 1827-28.

Animations are turned on by default and available on all standard bootstrap components.
They are implemented with CSS Transitions that use classes defined in Bootstrap specifications. You could use your own theme or simply override default styles to customize them (ex. you could change the transition duration). Same as with Bootstrap, all animations respect the Reduced Motion setting.
Playing with animations has been a lot of work, as we had to introduce asynchronous transitions and new APIs, while keeping synchronous code without the animations. This is an important point, as it allows to keep existing tests (unit and e2e tests) unchanged.
Animations are enabled by default. You can opt-out and disable them with a simple flag and everything will run synchronously as before (ex. for unit tests). You can disable animations at different levels:
To turn off animations globally, inject NgbConfig
at your application root and change the
animation
flag:
You can also choose to disable them by component type, by changing the component configuration:
The last option is to activate/deactivate animations at the component instance level:
Animations don't work with structural directives like ngIf
or ngFor
. Unfortunately
Angular doesn't provide any APIs to delay DOM removal.
The most impacted widgets are Alert and Toast. For example, to animate alert closing, you will need to use the imperative API, then toggle some flag at the animation end actually remove the element from the DOM.
The second limitation concerns
the router integration with the Nav component. As the router-outlet
is not directly connected to the Nav, no animation will run either. Two
workarounds are available:
ActivatedRoute
to initialise the active nav with the url information.
You don't have anything special to do to handle animations apart from alert and toast. But you have some new APIs available to be notified when transitions finish. Here is a quick overview.
New (shown)
and (hidden)
outputs at accordion and panel levels. See
API docs for payload details.
New (closed)
output that notifies that transition has finished.
New .close()
method that triggers closing transition and returns an observable to be notified when it
is done.
New (slid)
output at both carousel and slide levels. See
API docs for payload details.
New (shown)
and (hidden)
outputs and a new .toggle()
method.
New .shown
and .hidden
observable APIs.
New (shown)
and (hidden)
outputs at nav and item levels. See
API docs for payload details.
They both have new (shown)
and (hidden)
outputs.
New (shown)
and hidden

Baboons speak Bushman, and have wives
Title
Baboons speak Bushman, and have wives
Collection
Summary
Baboons are said to speak the Bushman language and to possess wives. Their use of Ss’ó|õä, which informs them of matters otherwise unknown to them. In the Katkop dialect, by Díä!kwãin (L V.-24. 5924-5926, 5923 rev.-5925 rev.). The sticks of ss'o |a tell the baboons things they do not know, such as things about people.
Comments
1) p.5923v: Dia!kwain heard this from his father (Xaa-ttin) and his grandfather, 2) See also Baboons try to shoot people – means of preventing it and Baboons know our names and Baboon's ss'o |a and hair used as charms against illness, 3) This story is found in Book V-24

What We Do
My fundamental belief is that health and fitness should be enjoyable and not complicated! I try to emphasise this in everything I do. Whether it is through diet advice, programme design or mindset techniques. The word ‘Bodhi’ traditionally translates into English as enlightenment, but the literal meaning is ‘awakening’. For me this is an important phrase, everyone has a story or reason they want or need to exercise, but sometimes we need that extra guidance and advice to take that first step to awaken our fitness journey. Whether it be through exercise advice, or giving encouragement to get you through the session! We are in this together, there will be hard work ahead but ultimately we will have fun with it and enjoy the journey to a healthier you.

2 0.060171321 184 brendan oconnor ai-2012-07-04-The $60,000 cat: deep belief networks make less sense for language than vision
Introduction: There was an interesting ICML paper this year about very large-scale training of deep belief networks (a.k.a. neural networks) for unsupervised concept extraction from images. They ( Quoc V. Le and colleagues at Google/Stanford) have a cute example of learning very high-level features that are evoked by images of cats (from YouTube still-image training data); one is shown below. For those of us who work on machine learning and text, the question always comes up, why not DBN’s for language? Many shallow latent-space text models have been quite successful (LSI, LDA, HMM, LPCFG…); there is hope that some sort of “deeper” concepts could be learned. I think this is one of the most interesting areas for unsupervised language modeling right now. But note it’s a bad idea to directly analogize results from image analysis to language analysis. The problems have radically different levels of conceptual abstraction baked-in. Consider the problem of detecting the concept of a cat; i.e.

Introduction: update 2012-10-25 : I’ve been informed there is a new maintainer for Mawk, who has probably fixed the bugs I’ve been seeing. From: Gert Hulselmans [The bugs you have found are] indeed true with mawk v1.3.3 which comes standard with Debian/Ubuntu. This version is almost not developed the last 10 years. I now already use mawk v1.3.4 maintained by another developer (Thomas E. Dickey) for more than a year on huge datafiles (sometimes several GB). The problems/wrong results I had with mawk v1.3.3 sometimes are gone. In his version, normally all open/known bugs are fixed. This version can be downloaded from: http://invisible-island.net/mawk/ update 2010-04-30 : I have since found large datasets where mawk is buggy and gives the wrong result. nawk seems safe. When one of these newfangled “Big Data” sets comes your way, the very first thing you have to do is data munging: shuffling around file formats, renaming fields and the like.

Introduction: Earlier this week I asked the question, How are “art” and “pharmaceuticals” similar? People sent me lots of submissions! Some are great, some are a bit of a stretch. Overpriced by an order of magnitude. The letters of “art” are found embedded, in order, in “pharmaceuticals”. Search keywords that cost the most to advertise on? “Wyeth”: I think this means this , and this . “Romeo and Juliet” famously includes both “art” (wherefore art thou) and pharmaceuticals (poison!) Some art has been created out of pharmaceuticals. Some art has been created under the influence of pharmaceuticals. I was asking because I was playing around with a dataset of 100,000 noun phrases’ appearances on the web, from the Reading the Web project at CMU. That is, for a noun like “art”, this data has a large list of phrases in which the word “art” is used, across some 200 million web pages.

2 0.54743564 139 brendan oconnor ai-2009-04-22-Performance comparison: key-value stores for language model counts
Introduction: I’m doing word and bigram counts on a corpus of tweets. I want to store and rapidly retrieve them later for language model purposes. So there’s a big table of counts that get incremented many times. The easiest way to get something running is to use an open-source key/value store; but which? There’s recently been some development in this area so I thought it would be good to revisit and evaluate some options. Here are timings for a single counting process: iterate over 45,000 short text messages, tokenize them, then increment counters for their unigrams and bigrams. (The speed of the data store is only one component of performance.) There are about 17 increments per tweet: 400k unique terms and 750k total count. This is substantially smaller than what I need, but it’s small enough to easily test. I used several very different architectures and packages, explained below. architecture name speed in-memory, within-process python dictionary 2700 tweets/sec

4 0.49844185 128 brendan oconnor ai-2008-11-28-Calculating running variance in Python and C++
Introduction: It’s fairly obvious that an average can be calculated online, but interestingly, there’s also a way to calculate a running variance and standard deviation. Read all about it here . I’m playing around with the Netflix Prize data of 100 million movie ratings, and a huge problem is figuring out how to load and calculate everything in memory. I’m having success with NumPy , the numeric library for Python, because it compactly stores arrays with C/Fortran binary layouts. For example, 100 million 32-bit floats = 100M * 4 = 400MB of memory, which is manageable. And it’s much easier to play around interactively in ipython / matplotlib rather than write C++ for everything. Unfortunately, the simple ways to calculate variance on an array of that size create wasteful intermediate data structures as long as the original array. >>> mean( (x-mean(x)) ** 2 ) # two intermediate structures >>> tmp=x-mean(x); tmp**=2; mean(tmp) # one intermediate structure That’s an e

Introduction: 10/1/09 update — well, it’s been nearly a year, and I should say not everything in this rant is totally true, and I certainly believe much less of it now. Current take: Statistics , not machine learning, is the real deal, but unfortunately suffers from bad marketing. On the other hand, to the extent that bad marketing includes misguided undergraduate curriculums, there’s plenty of room to improve for everyone. So it’s pretty clear by now that statistics and machine learning aren’t very different fields. I was recently pointed to a very amusing comparison by the excellent statistician — and machine learning expert — Robert Tibshiriani .

In particular, this is often done for sentiment analysis: count positive and negative words (according to a sentiment polarity lexicon, which was derived from human raters or previous researchers’ intuitions), and then proclaim the output yields sentiment levels of the documents. More and more papers come out every day that do this. I’ve done this myself. It’s interesting and fun, but it’s easy to get a bunch of meaningless numbers if you don’t carefully validate what’s going on. There are certainly good studies in this area that do further validation and analysis, but it’s hard to trust a study that just presents a graph with a few overly strong speculative claims as to its meaning. This happens more than it ought to. I was happy to see a similarly critical view in a nice workin

Introduction: Everyone recently seems to be talking about this newish paper by Digrazia, McKelvey, Bollen, and Rojas ( pdf here ) that examines the correlation of Congressional candidate name mentions on Twitter against whether the candidate won the race. One of the coauthors also wrote a Washington Post Op-Ed about it. I read the paper and I think it’s reasonable, but their op-ed overstates their results. It claims: “In the 2010 data, our Twitter data predicted the winner in 404 out of 435 competitive races” But this analysis is nowhere in their paper. Fabio Rojas has now posted errata/rebuttals about the op-ed and described this analysis they did here. There are several major issues off the bat: They didn’t ever predict 404/435 races; they only analyzed 406 races they call “competitive,” getting 92.5% (in-sample) accuracy, then extrapolated to all races to get the 435 number. They’re reporting about in-sample predictions, which is really misleading to a non-scientific audi

Traditions and Hearthside Stories of West Cornwall, Vol. 2, by William Bottrell, [1873], at sacred-texts.com
A few days since, a woman of Mousehal told me that not long ago troops of small people, no more than a foot and a half high, used—on moonlight nights—to come out of a hole in the cliff, opening onto the beach, Newlyn side of the village, and but a short distance from it. The little people were always dressed very smart; and if anyone came near them they would scamper away into the hole. Mothers often told their children that if they went under cliff by night the small people would carry them away into "Dicky Danjy's holt."
Another kind called spriggans, which simply means sprites, are believed to guard treasures buried in cliff and hill castles.
Not long since a tinner of Lelant dreamt, three nights following, that a crock of gold was buried in a particular spot, between large rocks within the castle, on Trecroben hill. The next clear moonlight night he dug up the ground of which he had dreamt. After working two or three hours he came to a flat stone which sounded hollow; whilst digging round its edges, the weather became suddenly dark, the wind roared around the earns, and looking up, when he had made a place for his hands to lift it, he saw hundreds of ugly spriggans coming out from
amidst the rocks gathering around and approaching him. The man dropped his pick, ran down the hill and home as fast as he could lay foot to ground; he took to his bed and was unable to leave it for weeks.
When he next visited the castle he found the pit all filled in, with the turf replaced; and he nevermore dug for the treasure.
Piskey still leads benighted people astray; this sprite wanders alone and is always spoken of in the singular. It is somewhat remarkable that a green bug, frequently found on bramble bushes in autumn, is called by this name. After Michaelmas, it is said, that blackberries are unwholesome because Piskey spoils them then.
Places frequented by goats are believed to be the favourite haunts of fairies.
It is uncertain whether Bucka can be regarded as one of the fairy tribe; old people, within my remembrance, spoke of a Bucka Gwidden and a Bucka Dhu—by the former they meant a good spirit, and by the latter an evil one, now known as Bucka boo. I have been told, by persons of credit, that within the last forty years it was a usual practice with Newlyn and Mousehal fishermen to leave on the sand at night a portion of their catch for Bucka. Probably from this observance the common nickname of Newlyn Buckas was derived. An old rhyme says:—
From this it appears that Newlyn boys once considered it a matter of pride to be called by the name of their ancient divinity.
The knockers of the mines—that some class among fairy tribes—are simply believed, by our tinners, to be the spirits of those who worked the 'old bals' in ancient times.


also known as burnt cream, is a dessert consisting of a rich custard base topped with a contrasting layer of hard caramel. It is normally served at room temperature.
The custard base is traditionally flavored with vanilla, but can also be flavored with lemon or orange (zest), rosemary, lavender, chocolate, Amaretto, Grand Marnier, cinnamon, coffee, liqueurs, green tea, pistachio, hazelnut, coconut, or other flavors.
is a French sweet meringue-based confection made with egg white, icing sugar, granulated sugar, almond powder or ground almond, and food colouring. The macaron is commonly filled with ganache, buttercream or jam filling sandwiched between two biscuits (cookies).
The confection is characterised by smooth, squared top, ruffled circumference, and a flat base. It is mildly moist and easily melts in the mouth.Macarons can be found in a wide variety of flavors that range from the traditional (raspberry, chocolate) to the new (foie gras, matcha).
Foie gras is a food product made of the liver of a duck or goose that has been specially fattened. By French law,foie gras is defined as the liver of a duck or goose fattened by force-feeding corn with a feeding tube, although in Spain and other countries outside of France it is occasionally produced using natural feeding.
Foie gras is a popular and well-known delicacy in French cuisine. Its flavor is described as rich, buttery, and delicate, unlike that of an ordinary duck or goose liver. Foie gras is sold whole, or is prepared into mousse, parfait, or pâté, and may also be served as an accompaniment to another food item, such as steak. French law states that "Foie gras belongs to the protected cultural and gastronomical heritage of France."
Escargot is a dish of cooked land snails, usually served as an appetizer in France and in French restaurants. The word escargot is also sometimes applied to the living snails of those species which are commonly eaten in this way.
Not all species of land snail are edible, and many are too small to make it worthwhile to prepare and cook them. Even among the edible species, the palatability of the flesh varies from species to species. In France, the species Helix pomatia is most often eaten. The "petit-gris" Helix aspersa is also eaten, as is Helix lucorum. Several additional species, such as Elona quimperiana, are popular in Europe; see heliciculture.
