I want to share with you one of my favourite cafes in the Dandenong Ranges. Ripe Cafe is a place I found a few years ago in Sassafras. They make the best baguettes (I couldn't wait to take a photo before biting into mine!) and their coffee is pretty good too. If you love a hot chocolate made with real melted chocolate sitting at the bottom of your cup, you will love this place. Meals are available too. Cakes always look divine. I must admit that I have only tried a couple of cakes, one being a flourless chocolate cake and an apple pie (not both at once of course!). They were delicious.
 Just a tip, it can get pretty busy on a weekend. Sometimes it pays to book ahead.

OO PHP: Working with Class Variables
WARNING! I currently still at my noob stage in OO PHP, and in OO in general. Do not take anything found in this article as rock solid content that you can trust, for all I know, even the slightest bit of code that I pasted may have errors in them, as I generally learn from error messages. Feel free to point the baddies out, and they will be corrected.
It’s been only a few weeks since my first venture in OO PHP (which for some weird reason looks pretty obscure), and already I have found something that is very sparsely documented, or at least not very easy to find for the common noob.
My project was a simple generator that gives off some network information, which you might use if you read an article later on that I’m currently cooking up. It uses groups and machines, and each group gets declared by the user, and a soon as a group is spawned, a user can add a machines to it. In my C person mind, the way to go was 2 and even 3 dimensional arrays to put the groups and machines in, as well as the information relative to them. A group variable call would then have looked something like this:
$group[1]['name'];
But this simply lacked elegance, so I just back off the project for while, thinking that it wasn’t top priority anyways.
In the meanwhile, I picked up that Syngress book on C# that I had won on Sploitcast. For those not familiar, C# is a hybrid language between Java and C++, bringing the object aspect of Java into the coolness that is C++. It’s .NET flavor is a very interesting option for easy GUI (OO) programming under windows. Like Java, it uses lots of classes and methods and members andall of that OOP goodstuff. Being a straightforward C person for the most part, and having never even thought about using OO, the concepts that you could actually create your own class that contain whatever you wanted were very hard to grasp, and since I just had done only good ol’ functions and arrays programming before, I could hardly think up a use for these funky practices.
But then, reading a chapter in my book about how every GUI element of C#.NET use lots of member methods and variables as properties and actions, the light shone upon me, and the magic solution came to me. What if each group was declared as and individual element in an array, then its properties accessible like elements in other classes. What if it looked like this?
$group[1]::$name;
Hey, it’s not that different, but it works, and it’s OO. Now, no more messing around with multidimensional arrays that are hard to manipulate, now, a new instance of my class can be created, facilitating manipulation. Here is how it works.
It’s pretty simple really. Create a class by declaring one with the “class” keyword. It’s basically like create a function.
class MyClass
{class stuff goes here!}
This hasn’t created a class yet, but has just created the template amongst which an instance will. If this still doesn’t tell you anything, this analogy may help you: a class is like a mould, amongst which you can create a vase, an instance. The mould determines what can be put in the class. The class can be declared to contain anything that a normal PHP app can contain, might it be functions or variables, which later are available from external classes through the -> or :: symbol, the scope resolution operator. I personally prefer ::, simply because it can reference objects that have not yet been created, whereas -> will give off an error if calling an inexistent class. Calling stuff then looks like this:
$class::$stupidvar;
$otherclass::stupidfunction();
The only problem with classes is that it makes variable ambiguity more present, making place for more precise variable scope declarations, unfound in simpler PHP. You might have check the PHP manual for keywords such as “static” and “public”, and other scope variable documents, but in the end, setting those becomes natural.
Now for my actual problem with OOP variables: the simple task of putting a variable in a class. In other languages, declaring a variable in a class is as simple as declaring a variable elsewhere. However, in OO PHP just giving something like “static var $foobar” will yield an unexpected variable error. On dreamincode, I was quickly pointed to __construct(), a function that more explicitly declares the variables to be used in a class. This function is very sparsely documented for some reason. It looks something like this:
class foo
{
function __construct($const_othervar)
{$variable = $const_othervar;}
}
In this example, $const_othercar is just a buffer to be used to initial the variable properly. When __construct() is inside a class, it can be called at the same time as the creation of a new instance, like the following:
$classinstance = new class($whatever);
As many variables as you want can be created from __construct(), with the same format. This assures a faultless variable initialization within a class. After proper initialization, the variable in the class instance with -> or ::, in the form of $classcontainer::$variable.
So, after all that messing around, what are the advantages? Not very much, from what I read, to the exception of increased readability and understandability, not to mention easier spawning of frequently used items, which is the goal of OO. Still to me, the why of OO is somewhat obscure, but nonetheless I encourage you to continue exploring OOP: after all, is what everybody is coding right now, why shouldn’t you do it?


WebAudioPlugin Class
Play sounds using Web Audio in the browser. The WebAudio plugin has been successfully tested with:
- Google Chrome, version 23+ on OS X and Windows
- Safari 6+ on OS X
- Mobile Safari on iOS 6+
The WebAudioPlugin is currently the default plugin, and will be used anywhere that it is supported. Currently Chrome and Safari offer support. Firefox and Android Chrome both offer support for web audio in upcoming releases. To change plugin priority, check out the Sound API registerPlugins method.
Known Browser and OS issues for Web Audio Plugin
Webkit (Chrome and Safari)
- AudioNode.disconnect does not always seem to work. This can cause the file size to grow over time if you are playing a lot of audio files. iOS 6 limitations
- Sound is initially muted and will only unmute through play being called inside a user initiated event (touch/click).
- Despite suggestions to the opposite, we have relative control over audio volume through the gain nodes.
- A bug exists that will distort uncached audio when a video element is present in the DOM.

Gitea Setup
Hi all,
When I already have installed and configured thePostgreSQL
database I can set up the Gitea
service.
I got started at the main web page of Gitea
.
I found there information about the available Homebrew package.
Hint: How to install Homebrew you could find on the main web page of the project
or use my mac-installer project.
When I already have Homebrew installed I could start Gitea service installation:
$ brew install gitea
After successfully installation I run Gitea via the following command:
$ gitea
In the next step, I configured Gitea using the creator available via the web browser.
It is everything that I have for today.
Everyone is a blacksmith of own fate.

My Mods is a concept created because of the wide availability of various mods. Modders have been producing many unique mods that are interesting to explore in single player instances. However, with such creative freedoms, comes the invevitable breakdown of any standards. Zip files are packaged differently from one release to another, using a variety of download hosts, and with different installation instructions.
My Mods attempts to standardize mod releases to make it easier for players to play on the latest mods, without having to jump through hoops or risking other modded files.
In the Server / Mod Select screen, right click and choose "Add My Mod".
Enter in a unique My Server Name, and optionally, add a My Server Description.
Click on Add New Download Link, and copy and paste each of the modder's downloadable zip links.
Click on Save
The structure of your zip file will be more important with 7D2D Launcher support. The zip will will be extract in the top level of the game's folder, so the structure of the zip file should support placing the files in the correct locations.
Provide an easy to use hosting provider, such as MediaFire.
It is also recommended that you use zip files from software such as 7 zip, as opposed to other compressed files such as RAR.
The installed 7D2D Launcher will automatically check for updates when it starts.
The direct download link can be found here: https://7d2dlauncher.blob.core.windows.net/installer/7D2DLauncher.application
The 7D2D Launcher will create a copy for each of My Mods, leaving the originals unchanged. This will allow you to have multiple configurations on your computer, allowing you to switch to them quickly.
The base 7 Days to Die game takes a little over 3 gigs of disk space. You'll need atleast 3.5G available in order to run each new copy.
We believe that My Mods will help standardize the modding community of 7 Days to Die, and provide consistent content to the players.
The 7D2D Launcher was designed to deploy downloadable mod files, and install them in the correct play. If a modder structures their downloadable modded file in a standard format, the mod should play.


HBC 108 Experiments 22 DETERMINATION OF THE EFFECT OF PH ON ENZYMATIC ACTIVITY
INTRODUCTION
Enzyme as Biological Catalysts
Living organisms are able to obtain and use energy very rapidly because of the presence of enzymes. Enzymes increase the rate of specific biochemical reactions and, therefore, are the catalysts of biological systems. Nearly all known enzymes are globular proteins that have specifically designed regions that attract and bind substrate molecules. These regions, called active sites, contain catalytic groups that are residues that directly participate in the making and breaking of bonds.
The active site is a three-dimensional entity formed by groups that come from different parts of the linear acid sequence. The catalytic efficiency of an enzyme usually depends on this conformation. Consequently, changing the optimal 3-dimensional structure of an enzyme can sometimes cause distortion of its active site and reduce its efficiency as a biological catalyst.
Influence of pH on Enzymatic Activity
One of the factors that play a significant role in maintaining an optimal and stable 3-dimensional structure of an enzyme is the overall charge of the surface of the enzyme protein. For this reason, pH conditions can greatly influence the activity of an enzyme. If the pH of the medium containing the enzyme becomes either too high or too low, the activity of the enzyme is often reduced. Any enzyme will, therefore, show catalytic function within a specific pH range. The variation of activity with pH is due to the change in the state of ionisation of the enzyme protein (and other compoments of the reaction mixture in some cases). In mammalian cells, various biochemical and physiological processes maintain optinal pH conditions.
Objectives
The main objective of the following experiment is to demonstate this in vitro and to make you appreciate the significance of pH on enzyme - catalysed reactions using ∝- amylase as a model enzyme. Saliva contains ∝-amylase which hydrolyses (1-4)-glycoisidic linkages ar random resulting in a mixture of glucose and free maltose. The effect of pH on the activity of ∝-amylase will be demonstrated.


Building BlenderNEURON¶
The Blender addon (the server) uses Cython to improve performance and has to be built for every platform on which it is used. By default, the addon includes cythonized binaries for Win, Mac, and Ubuntu Linux versions of Python that come bundled with Blender. On the other hand, the HOC/Python library for NEURON (the client) is written in pure Python and does not need to be cythonized.
If you use a different minor version of Python than the one that comes bundled with Blender (e.g. 3.6 vs bundled 3.5) you will need to manually
cythonize the addon using your version of Python. Without this step, you will receive the following error in Blender: ModuleNotFound: No module named 'blender_neuron.blender_neuron.server'
Blender Addon Building¶
Perform the following steps using the Python version that you are using with Blender.
- Clone the BlenderNEURON repository:
git clone https://github.com/JustasB/BlenderNEURON
- Change into addon folder:
cd BlenderNEURON/ForBlender/blender_neuron
- Ensure you have Cython package installed:
pip install cython
- Cythonize the addon code:
python setup.py build_ext --inplace
- Change to parent ForBlender folder:
cd ..
- Create a .zip file (recursively, including directory structure) using only
__init__.py
,.so
, and.pyd
files. On Linux, use command./buildzip.sh
, which will create theblender_neuron_v.zip
file.- The .zip file now contains the compiled version of the Blender addon. Follow the installation steps to install the addon.

This package allows users to perform a modified bootstrap-based t-test that aims to better control type-I error rates in these situations.

Key Statistical Concept: Countries report expenditures by sources of funds: Government (central, regional, local); International agencies and other foreign sources; Households and Other private entities (including firms and religious institutions and other non-profit organisations). Three types of financial transactions can be distinguished: -dicircle expenditure/payments on educational institutions -Intergovernmental transfers for education -Transfers to students or households and to other private entities.
Other Aspects: Financial year is in general identical to the calendar year and thus running from 1st of January to 31st of December, with some exceptions for Canada, Japan and the United Kingdom where the financial year is running from 1st of April to 31st of March and for the United States where the financial year is running from 1st of July to 30th of June.

Hi
I'm Chris.
Analysis of the subreddit community structure
September 12th, 2012
While reading a paper for class, I felt compelled to try my hand at implementing the approach they took. A lot of times I read things, they make some sense, but I don’t really know how much I don’t know about them until I stop reading and try doing. The paper is called Finding and Evaluating Community structure in networks, from 2003.
I read the paper a couple months ago, and the other day started thinking about all the uses for a means of picking out communities within a larger network. Basically, their paper says we should calculate the betweenness of each edge in a graph, and then remove those edges with the highest betweenness. If betweenness is a measure of how often an edge is crossed on a path for every pair of nodes in the graph, then we’ll be removing the edges that are most commonly crossed on a shortest path from node a to b. Eventually, the original graph is split up into smaller graphs, which, from their perspective, carry greater similarity between nodes.
So thinking about this in terms of a real community, I figured, two subreddits, a and b, are connected if a user has two comments c1 and c2 that live in a and b. So this constitutes an edge in the graph, where a node is a subreddit. I used the reddit api to pull some submissions and comments down, where I then constructed a graph. I figured it would be neat to evaluate this in large sets of data, so I committed the graph to a redis instance. When the data is downloaded, a python script loads the entire data set from redis and begins classifying (the fun part!) communities. The following occurs:
- Calculate every shortest path for every pair of nodes in the graph
- For each node in the graph, find the fraction of paths that contain that node vs how many don’t. This is betweenness (as per wikipedia’s definition)
- Remove the edge with the highest betweenness (just the betweenness of that start and end nodes added together…maybe this assumption is flawed)
- Repeat

Description: Get the immediately following sibling of each element in the set of matched elements. If a selector is provided, it retrieves the next sibling only if it matches that selector.
selector: Selector A string containing a selector expression to match elements against.
Given a jQuery object that represents a set of DOM elements, the .next()
method allows us to search through the immediately following sibling of these elements in the DOM tree and construct a new jQuery object from the matching elements.
The method optionally accepts a selector expression of the same type that we can pass to the $()
function. If the immediately following sibling matches the selector, it remains in the newly constructed jQuery object; otherwise, it is excluded.
Consider a page with a simple list on it:

list item 1

list item 2

list item 3

list item 4

list item 5

If we begin at the third item, we can find the element which comes just after it:
$('li.third-item').next().css('background-color', 'red');
The result of this call is a red background behind item 4. Since we do not supply a selector expression, this following element is unequivocally included as part of the object. If we had supplied one, the element would be tested for a match before it was included.

I am a Python software developer living in Brooklyn. My last job was at Forbes, to develop a cryptocurrency information website called Forbes CryptoMarkets. My work experiences are currently limited to backend development such as building content management systems, web services and batch processes.
As I come from a computer engineering background, I’m probably not exactly the typical computer science programmer you’d expect. I know about inheritance, class method and decorators but rarely use them at this moment of my career. I’m probably not the person who can give an 100% academically correct answer to a purely theoretical computer science question, but I was able to get dependable implementations done and to production fast in my current position.
• Created and managed data entry batch processes
• Created and managed data serving REST endpoints
• Improved response time, dependability and scalability of existing programs
• Co-created, managed and improved CMS data models to keep up with new features introduced on the frontend
• Integrated monitoring services with existing programs. On call 24-7, applied bug fixes on a rolling basis
• Programmatically and manually produced website images to specific requirement
• Took initiative to create data processing, popularity sorting, live blockchain data streaming services
New York, NY
• Lead development of a proof-of-concept blockchain network (node, user, master orchestrator)
• Focused on database utility function development (create data schema, write static SQL scripts)
• Took lead in network protocols design and implementation such as node-sever handshake, transaction verification

Methods
_extend(ctor, superCtor)
Inherit the prototype methods from one constructor into another.
The Function.prototype.inherits from lang.js rewritten as a standalone
function (not on Function.prototype). NOTE: If this file is to be loaded
during bootstrapping this function needs to be rewritten using some native
functions as prototype setup using normal JavaScript does not work as
expected during bootstrapping (see mirror.js in r114903).
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
ctor |
function | Constructor function which needs to inherit the prototype. |
superCtor |
function | Constructor function to inherit prototype from. |
- Source:
Buffer()
The Buffer constructor returns instances of `Uint8Array` that have their
prototype changed to `Buffer.prototype`. Furthermore, `Buffer` is a subclass of
`Uint8Array`, so the returned instances will have all the node `Buffer` methods
and the `Uint8Array` methods. Square bracket notation works as expected -- it
returns a single octet.
The `Uint8Array` prototype remains unmodified.

Optimization¶
Problem files |
In this example, a parameter estimation routine is used to solve a classical optimization problem for which an analytic solution is known.
The Rosenbrock function is a test function that is often used to evaluate numerical optimization algorithms. It is given by the following expression:
The following parameters are defined in the RV tab of quoFEM:
First variable,
X
: Uniform distribution with a lower bound \((L_B)\) of \(-2.0\), upper bound \((U_B)\) of \(2.0\),Second variable,
Y
: Uniform distribution with a lower bound \((L_B)\) of \(-2.0\), upper bound \((U_B)\) of \(2.0\),
UQ Workflow¶
To define the uncertainty workflow in quoFEM, select Parameters Estimation for the Dakota Method Category, and enter the following inputs:
Convergence Tol |
1e-10 |
Scaling Factors |
|
Max No. Iterations |
50 |
Method |
NL2SOL |
Model Files¶
The following files make up the FEM model definition.
rosenbrock.py: This file is a Python script which implements the Rosenbrock function. It is supplied to the Input Script field of the FEM tab. Because this file write directly to
results.out
, it obviates the need for supplying a Postprocess Script. When invoked in the workflow, the Python routine is supplied a set of random variable realizations through the star-import of the script supplied to the Parameters File field.params.py: This file is a Python script which defines the problem’s random variables as objects in the Python runtime. It is supplied to the Parameters File field of the FEM tab. The literal values which are assigned to variables in this file will be varied at runtime by the UQ engine.
Results¶
With \(50\) iterations, our solution converges to \(x= 0.34548\) and \(y=0.11\)


Analytically, resonant particles are deﬁned as those particles whose velocity is close to the phase-velocity of the wave. These particles are expected to exchange more energy with the waves compared with the non-resonant particles. Next, we examine the phase-space structure of δF in order to ﬁnd a general way of identifying the resonant region in the phase-space. The initial phase-space structure of δF is plotted in Fig. 6a, which shows the ﬂuctuation in x direction and Maxwellian distribution in vx direction. Figure 6b plots the phase-space structure of δF at t = 20∕ωpe. It is not obvious what kind of useful information can be obtained from the ﬁgure. Note that lower velocity particles carry more perturbation than higher velocity particles because of the exp(−v2∕vt2) dependence in δF. The dominant structure of δF in the lower velocity region may blur the change of δF in the higher velocity region. To make the change of δF obvious, deﬁne a new function S(v,x) ≡ δF∕, which eliminate the initial variation of δF in vx direction. Figure 7 plots the contour of S(v,x) in phase space (x,v) at t = 0 and t = 20∕ωpe, which shows that there are peaks developing near v ≈±2.44 at t = 20∕ωpe. The location of the peaks of S in the phase-space, v ≈±2.44, is very near the phase-velocity of the wave excited in the simulation (vp∕vt = ω∕kvt = ±2.44). Therefore, the peaks of S prove to be a good indication of the resonant region.
We select the top 500 markers that have large variation in δf∕ and then compare their velocity with the phase-velocity of the wave. The results are plotted in Fig. 8, which conﬁrms that these velocities are close to the phase-velocity of the wave. Note that, since the wave excited in the simulation is a standing-wave, which has two opposite phase-velocities, the corresponding resonant velocity also have two opposite values.
There is diﬀerence between Fig. 8a and Fig. 8b, which arises from the diﬀerent sampling of the velocity space. In Fig. 8b, we note that the top 50 resonant particles all have positive velocity, which is nonphysical because there is no preferred direction in the system with a standing wave and symmetric velocity distribution.

core reflections and the learning journey
the end of the beginning
twenty six july | twenty twenty
What are three new things you have learned about yourself and your ego as a result of the core learning?
In the last five weeks I have learned a lot about myself.
- I often have trouble focusing and staying on task. But as it turns out, it is a lot easier to stay focused when the task at hand is something you are interested in. I believe a lot of my focus issues at work have been related to being unengaged, rather than innate attention issues. This coupled with some of the helpful focus techniques, (breaking the problem into small chunks, taking breaks, pomodoro, etc) has really helped for my focus.
- How much of an active task proper listening can be! I was surprised at the amount of attention it took to fully listen and loop back. I also found myself desperately wanting to insert my opinion or proposed solutions into my loop back, and I learned that this was probably something I needed to work on.
- That I do not feel any less when I ask for help. It has been a humbling experience ‘starting again’ in a field that is completely new to me. I am a confident person and my default position is to figure things out for myself, sometimes banging my head against a brick wall until I can brute force my way through. I have learned through foundations that asking for help is a much more efficient way forward, and that the result is just as good or better than if I had slogged on. I have also learned that this process is beneficial to everyone involved, and that the teacher better cements their own understanding, or may even learn something new through the process themselves.
What are the role of values, empathy and self awareness in learning and programming?
I believe our values, empathy and self awareness are important in everything we do. Together they form the guidebook for how to navigate this life with respect for yourself and for others. With regards to learning and programming, self awareness and empathy are foundational in setting yourself up to work well other people. Recognising our own strengths, weaknesses and emotions grounds our understanding of our self, and means we know the ‘me’ we are putting forward. Having empathy allows us to connect this to someone else strengths, weaknesses and emotions and find harmonious productivity and creativity.
Our values are particularly important as we embark on a new programming career,. They should direct us in what we want to do with this training, where we want to end up, the culture we want to be part of or form, whether we want to start our own business or find one that matches our ideals, what we do and what we don’t want to create.
What has surprised you the most about the core learning?
The most surprising thing about the core curriculum is that it exists in the first place. If these things were taught through school and university we might see a very different generation emerge. I think the core curriculum is a real point of difference for EDA and one of the reasons it is so highly recommended.
What were the most challenging aspects of the core learning?
Writing these posts! I am not much of a writer, and have not really dabbled in reflection or journalling before. Sometimes it can be hard to get started and put pen to page (or finger to key). I do see however how it can be an effective learning process
Why do you think we, a programming school, are spending so much time focusing on core learning in a web development bootcamp course?
Core skills are imperative in gaining employment and succeeding in the tech industry (or most industries for that matter). Employers view hard skills as relatively teachable (for example if you have not used a particular library or language before), but soft skills as relatively fixed (a bad team player will always be a bad team player). The core skills are also beneficial and applicable in all areas of your life, which is just an added benefit for a programming course!
Does the time you spent studying core learning here feel like a waste of time? Should you have just used that time to practicing programming instead? Justify your answer.
Definitely not, that would be a shortsighted view on the matter. Yes I could have learned a bit more about programming over the last five weeks, but the time spent on core makes the tech learning more efficient and effective. I cannot prove the theory, but I believe if you ran a group through the course as is and compared them with a group that ran a version where time was spent 100% on tech with no core, then the first group would not only come out more rounded with their core skills, but would have achieved better in the tech content as well.
Learning Reflection Part 2
What is your long term goal and/or career pathway?
I don’t have the exact destination in mind for when I leave Dev Academy, this is formulating as I progress through the course. I know I am really enjoying the curriculum and the environment and I am excited about launching a career in this industry. I do know that one of the impacts I would like to make is on my family and on my sense of self. One of the driving factors of going through Dev Academy was to take back control of my work life and find something that can provide a more flexible working environment and also be something that I find interesting and can feel proud of.
What do you think your biggest strengths and limitations will be in Bootcamp?
I believe my strengths and limitations from Sprint 2 still hold as fairly accurate. I would add to these being conscious of active listening
What do you think your biggest non-technical challenge at Bootcamp will be?
There are a number of non-technical challenges I am aware of. The biggest for me will most likely be balancing time with my family through this intense period. I will be back to having an extremely long commute, and on top of that will have work to complete in the evenings/weekends. I will take comfort knowing that this is just for a time, and keep the end goal in front of me.
What non-technical skills - human skills - would you like to see developed in yourself while at EDA?
I would like to further develop my leadership skills and teamwork skills. I have worked in plenty of teams and have had managerial roles with team members under me, but I think these skills could be improved, they can always be improved!
What are your expectations of yourself on Bootcamp
Having been through foundations, and learning how much simply asking for help from fellow cohort members can propel you passed your problems or blockages, I endeavour to ask for help earlier than my natural tendencies dictate. To help manage my workload, I am going to stay behind for an hour-ish each day (also to let the traffic die down), and two days a week I will dedicate to staying later or working later. I will give myself breaks and rewards, and celebrate the learning process and the journey I am on, even when it is difficult.

This friday I put myself through quite the binge, and it was both amazing and hellish enough that I thought I'd write about it.
Here's what I consumed (I'm just gonna put down the estimated times now so I don't have to worry about them while I'm writing the story):
-=FRIDAY=-
7:00pm - 1 glass of wine
9:00pm - ~20mg 2C-B (oral)
11:00pm - smoked some grass
11:59pm - smoked some grass
-=SATURDAY=-
1:00am - 1 pill MDMA (oral)
2:00am - 1 pill MDMA (oral)
2:30am - ~7mg 2C-B (insufflated)
3:00am - ~10mg 2C-B (insufflated)
3:30am - smoked some grass
4:30am - 1/2 pill MDMA (insufflated)
4:30am - 8:00am - smoked lots of grass
8:00am - 5:00pm - tried to sleep, no luck
5:00pm - 7:00pm - hid from society
8:00pm - 11:00pm - drank 3 beers
-=SUNDAY=-
12:00am - smoked some grass
1:00am - finally got some sleep
Let's Start Trippin'
I had made plans to take some 2C-B with my friends T, F, and D. Only T was around so we dropped our caps without the others. First let me just say before y'all ask, I didn't have a scale to weigh things with that night. I don't recommend eyeballing chems to anyone, but I happen to have an eye for precise measurement and I have my ways of making sure the doses are safe and reasonably accurate. I routinely impress people with my precision, but I understand that mistakes are possible. So... 'don't try this at home'.
[Erowid Note: A volume amount of one powder doesn't necessarily weigh the same as the same volume of another powder. For substances active at such a small dose, eyeballing is particularly unwise. See related article]
Anyway, 20mg down my hatch, and about 35mg down T's hatch. Note that T is historically resistant to the effects of 2C-B, and most people probably shouldn't eat this much.
2C-B always takes a long time to come on for me when eaten, and when my girlfriend, my buddy W, and some other people came by after a night of drinkin' about an hour and a half later, I was just starting to catch the buzz. Soon afterwards F and D came over and wanted to do some 2C-B. I divided about 30mg into three tiny lines (they wanted to snort it), suggesting that they each do one line, wait 20 minutes, and then decide if they want more. But F accidentally blew two of the three lines in one sniff. If she were an inexperienced tripper I might have worried, but I can't really think of anyone who can take more drugs than this girl, so I just laughed. D sniffed up her line and we went outside for a ganja smoke.
Outside we met up with the rest of the folks who had just returned from drinking. W in particular was pretty drunk, having just drank 80 oz of malt liquor in the last couple of hours. Actually, he entertained us trippers for the next hour or so by jumping into the snow, setting off car alarms, and best of all, making prank phone calls across campus. By the time he was making prank phone calls and accidentally telling people his own phone number, I was on the floor holding my sides in laughter!
And by now I was probably peaking on the 20mg of 2C-B. The buzz was very enjoyable and there was a strong euphoric push, very much like mescaline. Visuals at this point were mostly bright colors, floor tiles patterning, wood grain crawling, and other effects that you might expect from a low dose of LSD. Actually I find 2C-B's visual effects to closely resemble LSD, but be nothing at all like 2C-I interestingly enough.
At some point the idea of taking some MDMA came up. So we went back to F's place where myself, my girlfriend S, T, D, and F each ate a pill. We chilled out here listening to music and talking for a while.
The transition from 2C-B to MDMA was subtle but most excellent. 2C-B resembles 'rolling' in some ways: There's the euphoria, the empathy, and the excellent buzz. So I gradually transitioned from one happy state to another.
Probably an hour later I ate another pill of MDMA. I don't really remember doing this, but I'm quite sure that I did.
One hour after this, probably about 3:00am, everybody is rolling pretty hard and sitting up in a cozy bed together talking about god-knows-what. It was around this point that it occured to us that some 2C-B would be nice. So we made the trek back and cut out about 7mg for each of us to insufflate. I didn't want to wait for an oral dose, and I also wanted to be more efficient with this precious chemical. Plus F and D thought snorting the stuff was the way to go.
*Sniff*... well that didn't burn badly at all. Except for T whose nose was apparently partially clogged. But then again he always complains about how bad things burn.  The 2C-B was kicking in fast, but there was no anxiety or nervous feelings at all. In fact, it manifested itself in the form of the best buzz I have ever had. Also my vision looked like I had eaten a strong hit of LSD a couple hours ago. I felt like I was on the edge of breaking through into something, but not quite there, and everyone else agreed (except S who hadn't taken any 2C-B). So we each decided to do a slightly larger bump right away.
*Sniff*...
I had heard that MDMA + 2C-B was just about the best drug combo possible, and now I saw why. I was washed over in euphoria. No drug or combination had ever felt this good. The visuals easily rivaled my most intense LSD visuals.
In addition to the 'usual' swirling, morphing, crawling, and rapid color changing of objects, I had an additional layer of vision. It was much like the transparent screen in the movie Minority Report. This transparent screen was right in front of my eyes, and displayed incredibly sharp and detailed psychedelic imagery mainly in the colors of blue and yellow. WOW. No real insight, no real mindfuck, just euphoria and beauty.
 I wanted to go play guitar for a while, so I did. Each note sounded really beautiful and meaningful, but several times I forgot that my amp was still on, and that I was holding a guitar. I guess at some point we all decided to rail half a pill each.
*Sniff*...
Honestly I don't know if that did anything or not.
I went to use the bathroom and the whirring of the exhaust fan sounded like 20 different voices talking to me at once. This was a little strange and I was glad to be done with my piss. I'm not usually fond of audio-hallucinations.
We sat outside for a smoke and I watched the snowy hills shrink and grow, the trees dance around, and the earth change color.
We all went over to D's place and smoked a ton of herb, and we were all still rolling and tripping pretty well. I guess the 2C-B lasts for about 2 or 3 hours when you sniff it. At this point I'd like to fast forward to the comedown. Mine was allright but my girlfriend was having a hard time with hers, and getting really emotionally distressed. Let's just say that her emotional crash brough me down HARD.  So at about 8:00am it was time for me and S to get back home and call it a night.
Walking back home was one of the sketchiest things I think I've ever done.  I took a short cut back to my house to avoid people, and thought police were following me back to my house. We finally made it inside with much relief. Then I helped S regain her emotional stability, and everything was pretty much ok. Then we had sex for a few hours...
She slept allright but I didn't get any sleep at all that whole day after, so I was like a paranoid zombie the next day, which really sucked. I then experienced the hardest crash I've ever had from any drugs in that day and the next couple days after.
 I don't do long binges like this often, and I don't plan on it again any time soon or even not-so-soon.
BUT... 2C-B + MDMA is the shit!
Afterwards I had only one serotonin left, and it was very lonely, but there is none more amazing of an experience. Hippieflipping is like packing a lip of chewing tobacco compared to 2C-B + MDMA. Seriously.
Allright, if y'all have any questions you know how it works.
peace!

CRUMB A film review by James Berardinelli Copyright 1995 James Berardinelli
RATING (0 TO 10): 9.0
United States, 1994 U.S. Release Date: limited release beginning June 1995 Running Length: 1:59 MPAA Classification: R (Profanity, sexual candor, mature themes) Theatrical Aspect Ratio: 1.85:1
Featuring Robert Crumb, Charles Crumb, Maxxon Crumb, Aline Kominsky- Crumb, Robert Hughes, and others Director: Terry Zwigoff Producers: Lynn O'Donnell and Terry Zwigoff Cinematography: Maryse Alberti Music: David Boeddinghaus U.S. Distributor: Sony Pictures Classics
Upon viewing the completed version of this film, cartoonist Robert Crumb, whose story it tells, informed director Terry Zwigoff, "After I saw it I had to go for a walk in the woods, just to clear my head. I took my favorite hat off, this hat that I've had for 25 years, and I threw it off a cliff. I don't want to be R. Crumb anymore." Considering the material, the reaction is understandable. This is the sort of movie capable of prompting a viewer to question and evaluate a great deal more than the inner workings of a single man. In addition to presenting one of the most compelling filmed documentary character studies of all time, CRUMB asks a lot of pointed questions about life and art that no one can possibly answer, least of all the misanthropic genius at the center of the portrait.
"My work is full of sweating, nervous uneasiness, which is a big part of me and everybody else," says Crumb. "Most people don't want to see that though, because it reminds them of inadequate parts of themselves." Indeed, one of the most fascinating aspects for any viewer of CRUMB is to identify elements of their own personality reflected in what Zwigoff uncovers. Crumb doesn't tone down his often-bizarre opinions just because the camera is on.
Crumb's claim to fame is founding the underground comics movement in 1967, when issue #1 of his "Zap Comix" was released. Crumb is also the creator of the "Keep on Truckin'" logo, the artist for the LP cover of Big Brother and the Holding Company's CHEAP THRILLS, and the originator of Fritz the Cat, which Ralph Bakshi turned into the first X- rated animated feature (a film that Crumb hates). CRUMB, made with even-handed passion by Zwigoff, does not attempt to be a complete chronicle of the cartoonist's life. Instead, the movie chooses to examine certain facets of his personality, his and others' impressions of his work, and the forces which contributed to the genesis of a product that has been called everything from satirical genius to pornographic filth.
Through interviews with Robert Crumb, his brothers Charles and Max, his current wife and ex-wife, his son Jesse, and various art critics, Zwigoff constructs a Picasso-like image of the man and the influences underlying his creativity. One of the most important of these is surely the dysfunctional family environment of his childhood.  But, as deep as his bitterness runs, the artist possesses a streak of sardonic, self-deprecating humor that shines through.  In fact, in comparison to his two brothers, Crumb appears almost normal. Charles is a manic depressive who takes medication to keep suicidal bouts at bay (one year following Zwigoff's Philadelphia interview, Charles killed himself).
Is Crumb a misogynist? Probably, since, in his own words, he harbors inner hostility towards women. But there's more than that to his work. TIME magazine art critic Robert Hughes defends Crumb, saying that his work expresses fantasies that are common, but which most of us repress out of fear. Mother Jones editor Deidre English has a different view, indicating that Crumb's fetish for depicting overendowed, headless female bodies is a manifestation of his "arrested juvenile vision." It's even suggested that putting such fantasies on paper is "dangerous." Zwigoff gives both sides of the argument equal time, and never editorializes. It's up to the viewer to decided which position, if either, he or she accepts.
Is Crumb obsessed with sex? No doubt. Apparently, there was a time when he masturbated four to five times each day, and everyone seems to agree that he finds his own work sexually stimulating. The cartoonist's views of sex may not be of the "normal" variety (just ask one of his ex-lovers), but he definitely enjoys certain activities.
Is Crumb disgusted with popular culture and fame? In his own words, "As a teenager...I realized I was an outcast, I became a critic, and I've been disgusted with American culture from the time I was a kid. I started out by rejecting all the things that the people who rejected me liked, then over the years I developed a deeper analysis of these things." Crumb has turned down opportunities to make hundreds of thousands of dollars by going mainstream. He will not sign autographs. And he rejects the romantic notion of love, saying the only woman he has ever loved is his daughter.
Whatever opinion a viewer has of Crumb at the end of this film, an apathetic reaction is unthinkable. Empathy, fascination, disgust, or anger are all likely, but not disinterest. R. Crumb is the sort of person it's impossible to ignore, and Zwigoff's film creates such an honest portrayal of him that some sort of response is demanded. CRUMB is a rare and powerful documentary that completely absorbs the viewer and leaves an impression so blindingly clear that the afterimage cannot be blinked away even when the theater is far behind. Crumb and his words will tug at the mind with all the tenacity of a pit bull tearing at its prey.

Watch the students solve complex problems mentally and give accurate answers within seconds at Master Mind Abacus.
Most of the abacus companies follow the calculating methods that works from left to right. While, the methods that are taught in schools perform calculations from right to left. We at Master Mind follow the same pattern as that of schools.
This system works in alignment with the school curriculum. It enables the students to adopt school system in Master Mind Abacus classes. Moreover, it does not confuse them, unlike other abacus programs.
Considering the child psychology wherein playful activities are more enjoyable for children, every class of Master Mind Abacus including the study material has been designed with a ready-made game for each day. The children unknowingly learn to practice complex math calculations without being stressed.
This software has been specifically designed like an animated video game which increases the child’s accuracy and speed, and also gives them an environment that feels like a play.
Unique teaching technique developed by Master Mind Abacus to ensure that the teacher is able to guide and control all students in a hassle free manner. Through this method, the students indulge into gaining a feeling that they are into a play and also compete with each other so as to earn more points. Beyond that, every student will get equal attention in the class, thus ensuring overall development of the entire batch.
To give motivation to students, Master Mind Abacus adopts a technique in the form of Point Cards, which the child accumulates in every class. These points can then further be redeemed for gifts.
The books and its contents along with the online abacus learning are one of the best study material provided to students across the abacus industry. The colorful environment provided by us attracts the students more towards the course and gives them a pleasurable experience.


The biggest trigger for me when programming is the act of giving up. Sometimes I find myself unable to arrive at a solution, google a solution or the solution is otherwise not easily obtainable and I feel like I am running out of the allocated time box. When that happens I usually "give up", move on and do something else. What triggers the negative response in me most is not the problem but the act of giving up. I remember about this unsolved problem throughout my day and feel very negative towards myself. Usually I attempt it again later and succeed or change my approach and succeed.
I beleive there is plenty to gain from this when it comes to a time of an emotional crisis. I wish I read this chapter slightly earlier as I did get very angry this week at a person. Thinking about it in retrospective the SBNRR technique would have been perfect at that moment.

The Hermit was an old friend of ours, as I have already told you. He was a very peculiar person. Far out on the marshes he lived in a little bit of a shack—all alone except for his brindle bulldog. No one knew where he came from—not even his name, just "Luke the Hermit" folks called him. He never came into the town; never seemed to want to see or talk to people. His dog, Bob, drove them away if they came near his hut. When you asked anyone in Puddleby who he was or why he lived out in that lonely place by himself, the only answer you got was, "Oh, Luke the Hermit? Well, there's some mystery about him. Nobody knows what it is. But there's a mystery. Don't go near him. He'll set the dog on you."
Nevertheless there were two people who often went out to that little shack on the fens: the Doctor and myself. And Bob, the bulldog, never barked when he heard us coming. For we liked Luke; and Luke liked us.
This afternoon, crossing the marshes we faced a cold wind blowing from the East. As we approached the hut Jip put up his ears and said,
"That's funny!"
"What's funny?" asked the Doctor.
"That Bob hasn't come out to meet us. He should have heard us long ago—or smelt us. What's that queer noise?"
"Sounds to me like a gate creaking," said the Doctor. "Maybe it's Luke's door, only we can't see the door from here; it's on the far side of the shack."
"I hope Bob isn't sick," said Jip; and he let out a bark to see if that would call him. But the only answer he got was the wailing of the wind across the wide, salt fen.
We hurried forward, all three of us thinking hard.
When we reached the front of the shack we found the door open, swinging and creaking dismally in the wind. We looked inside. There was no one there.
"Isn't Luke at home then?" said I. "Perhaps he's out for a walk."
"He is ALWAYS at home," said the Doctor frowning in a peculiar sort of way. "And even if he were out for a. walk he wouldn't leave his door banging in the wind behind him. There is something queer about this—What are you doing in there, Jip?"
"Nothing much—nothing worth speaking of," said Jip examining the floor of the hut extremely carefully.
"Come here, Jip," said the Doctor in a stern voice. "You are hiding something from me. You see signs and you know something—or you guess it. What has happened? Tell me. Where is the Hermit?"
"I don't know," said Jip looking very guilty and uncomfortable. "I don't know where he is."
"Well, you know something. I can tell it from the look in your eye. What is it?"
But Jip didn't answer.
For ten minutes the Doctor kept questioning him. But not a word would the dog say.
"Well," said the Doctor at last, "it is no use our standing around here in the cold. The Hermit's gone. That's all. We might as well go home to luncheon."
As we buttoned up our coats and started back across the marsh, Jip ran ahead pretending he was looking for water-rats.
"He knows something all right," whispered the Doctor. "And I think he knows what has happened too. It's funny, his not wanting to tell me. He has never done that before—not in eleven years. He has always told me everything—Strange—very strange!"
"Do you mean you think he knows all about the Hermit, the big mystery about him which folks hint at and all that?"
"I shouldn't wonder if he did," the Doctor answered slowly. "I noticed something in his expression the moment we found that door open and the hut empty. And the way he sniffed the floor too—it told him something, that floor did. He saw signs we couldn't see—I wonder why he won't tell me. I'll try him again. Here, Jip! Jip!—Where is the dog? I thought he went on in front."
"So did I," I said. "He was there a moment ago. I saw him as large as life. Jip—Jip—Jip—JIP!"
But he was gone. We called and called. We even walked back to the hut. But Jip had disappeared.
"Oh well," I said, "most likely he has just run home ahead of us. He often does that, you know. We'll find him there when we get back to the house."
But the Doctor just closed his coat-collar tighter against the wind and strode on muttering, "Odd—very odd!"


Core Skills Reflection
Due the feeling directionless and disorganised for a long time, I had quiet doubts in the back of my head that I would be unsuccessful in organising my time, and getting tasks completed at all. I have been quite surprised that I can focus on a task, and stick to it without distraction. I have enjoyed having a sense of purpose again. That I can be somewhat organised and I am working towards establishing habits in meditation and journaling
I honestly thought I might be faced with a moment where I would be so overwhelmed that I just give up rather than work through and keep going. The core skills and reflecting on my values and goals really grounded me and helped me find direction. Learning mindfulness has helped me become more aware, aware of others and how I interact with them and establish consistent communication with people in my life. Previously, totally unintentionally weeks would sometimes go by without contact with friends and family
I have also learned that I haven’t lost my people skills as I had previously thought, through the listening and looping (which was a great task in itself) conversation came easily with complete strangers. This gave me confidence that I can have success with this course.
Core skills so far has been an exploration of identity that at times has been difficult, but the concepts around reflection and learning have been eye opening. As I mentioned above It is early days yet, but I hope to establish a daily habit of reflecting in a journal. With the purpose to help with my education but also as a way to establish accountability, recording what I achieved that day and tracking goals I set for myself.
Values, empathy and self awareness each play important roles in developing into a well rounded human being. Being self aware means recognizing one’s needs, values, judgments, and biases. Self awareness means being able to recognise the emotions of others, how what you are doing, how you are acting may effect those around you.
"Self-awareness allows us to see things from the perspective of others, practice self-control, work creatively and productively, and experience pride in ourselves and our work as well as general self-esteem (Silvia & O’Brien, 2004).”
Reflection is a part of being self aware and has also proven to be a valuable tool in education (and programming where you will never stop learning as code evolves over time). Reflecting on how you felt during activities, when you had success or failures, exploring why this or that happened, how it impacted you or those around you. Asking these questions of your self when reflecting helps your brain to establish strong pathways to memory as you explore a task from various angles.
What surprised me most about the core learning was how challenging reflection could be. It was difficult at first to really explore my values and motivations, do I even have a culture? Identity? This deep dive into who I am was a rewarding experience in the end.
Learning mindfulness was also a surprise. I had never done much exploration or really considered the benefits of meditation before now. I had always considered mediation a spiritual exploration or part of alternative culture previously. Now I am trying to make it part of my daily routine.
Apart from these skills being vital to being a well rounded individual, they are essential to working in a team environment. They help you to develop healthy relationships and build a strong foundation, knowing who you are and what impact you want to have on the world.
This part of the course has been invaluable to me, helping me find direction and purpose again. The topics explored each week have also been fascinating to learn about. Having a growth mindset is something I have always tried to have (whether I was always successful….?) and will try to keep in mind as I move forward with this course and in life. I definitely don’t see any of it as a waste of time
What is your long term goal and/or career pathway?
I ultimately would like a job as a web developer working for a company that is in the science/research sector, along the lines of Agritech. Possibly in horticulture developing innovations and tools for growers to track water use, nutrients, weather etc, helping to establish a regenerative ag system
What do you think your biggest strengths and
limitations will be
in Bootcamp?
I think my skill and dedication towards research will be invaluable in bootcamp. Also my willingness to explore different options on the way to solution. I think problem solving is an area I am also quite good at, looking at problems from different angles and thinking creatively. My limitations revolve around lack of experience in programming and not knowing javascript language and methods very well
What do you think your biggest non-technical
challenge at Bootcamp will be?
Organisation and planning/time management, I have struggled with not leaving tasks or assignments to the last moment all my life. I have tried to set up ways to help me with this through foundations, but it is a something I worry about
Also mornings!! I am not a morning person, and I usually don’t start functioning until around 10/11am, I have always operated better later in the day, so it will take me a few days to get used to the swing of things!!
What non-technical skills - human skills - would you like
see developed in yourself while at EDA?
I would like to develop and explore mindfulness further, setting intentions and different ways to make the most of reflection
What are your expectations of yourself on Bootcamp
I expect myself to fully commit to the process and to keep going when I hit a roadblock, to not give up when it gets hard.

If the performance is not sufficient features are silently disabled (e.g. the display of shadows). The idea is to keep the underlying HTML pages operational, if necessary with simpler or even disabled taccGL ™ animations. See Restrictions on https://www.taccgl.org/ for details.

Writer’s notebooks are typically used in the classroom to house ideas, favorite quotes, and just general nuggets of information. At any time, the information within these notebooks may be turned into a writing piece.
I like to encourage my own children to view writing as a fun, active form of communication. I also like to encourage the connection between reading and writing as often as possible. Here are ten ways a writer’s notebook may be used:
Create a list of books you have read or want to read. Keep the list(s) in your notebook.
If you are like me and you like to tie in literature with other activities, then Amelia’s Notebook (and the other books in the series) by Marissa Moss is the perfect book to read to introduce Writer’s Notebooks. Check out my post at Teaching with Picture Books for an idea of how to get started with Writer’s Notebooks. I wrote that post for use in the classroom, but I think it can easily be modified to use at home as well!

The OnePlus Nord is the brand’s cheapest phone currently available and it manages to hit that low price without skimping on features. OnePlus hyped its return to making more affordable smartphones in the same way it does for its flagship. A constant slew of pre-release YouTube hands on, drip-feeding of details and well-produced videos were available even before we knew exactly what was going on with this £379 device. After using the Nord for an extended period it’s clear that, hype aside, this is a strong phone that comfortably achieves what most people want from a handset. It might not be available in North America (yet), have the stunning camera of the Google Pixel 4a or the sub-£300 price of the Moto G 5G Plus, but this is still easily one of the best affordable phones you can buy.
