I. Simple Linear Regression
The Basics – simple linear regression takes the form:
To find the line that is closest to the data, we use the least squares method and minimize the residual sum of squares (RSS), the amount of unexplained variability in the response after the regression:
Solving for the coefficient estimates and , we find that:
- Note: we can also prove that these estimates are unbiased, i.e. and
Measuring accuracy of the coefficient estimates – using the general variance formula, , we can solve for the standard error of the least squares coefficients:
- Note: , the residual standard error (RSE) is given by .
These standard errors can be used to compute confidence intervals; for example, . A 95% confidence interval means that if repeated samples were taken and 95% confidence intervals were computed for each sample, 95% of those intervals are expected to contain the population mean.
To perform hypothesis testing, we compute a t-statistic, given by . These have an associated p-value, which represents the probability, assuming the null hypothesis is true, that we received the observed sample results.
Measuring accuracy of the model
- The residual standard error (RSE) is a measure of the lack of fit of the model in units of the response
- The statistic is the proportion of variability in Y that can be explained using X, and is calculated with the formula:
where the total sum of squares (TSS), given by , measures the total variance in the response before the regression.
- Note: The statistic is equal to the correlation between X and Y in simple linear regression with one predictor.
II. Multiple Linear Regression
The Basics – multiple linear regression takes the form:
Again, the least squares solution involves minimizing the residual sum of squares (RSS).
Is there a relationship between the response and predictors?
We can use a hypothesis test to investigate whether all of the regression coefficients are zero using an F-statistic:
If linear model assumptions are correct, then , and if there is no relationship between the response and predictors, then . Therefore, when there is no relationship between the response and predictors, F-statistic will take on a value close to 1, but when there is a relationship, the F-statistic will be greater than 1.
- Note: The smaller the sample size n, the larger the F-statistic needs to be to reject the null hypothesis.
On the other hand, if you want to test if a particular subset of q coefficients are zero, then fit a second model that uses all of the variables except the last q, and note the residual sum of squares for that model, . Then the null hypothesis and F-statistic are:
How do we decide on important variables?
Variables can be selected through three classical approaches:
- Forward selection
- Start with the null model, fit new models with each of the p predictors, then add the variable that resulted in the lowest RSS. Re-fit the base model, fit new models with remaining predictors, and repeat until a stopping condition.
- Backward selection
- Start with all variables in the model, and remove the variable with the largest p-value. Re-fit the model, and repeat until a stopping condition.
- Cannot be used if
- Mixed selection
- Start with no variables in the model. Add variables that provide the best fit, but remove variables if the p-value for any variable rises above a certain threshold.
How well does the model fit the data?
- For multiple linear regression, . Note that will always increase for the training data set when adding more variables, so be sure to test the model on a testing data set.
- Residual standard error is defined generally as:
The quality of a model can be judged by:
- Mallow’s
- AIC (Akaike information Criterian)
- BIC (Bayesian information criterion)
- Adjusted
To compare two models, we can perform ANOVA (analysis of variance) using an F-test in order to test the null hypothesis that a model is sufficient to explain the data against the alternative hypothesis that a more complex model is required. These must be nested models: the predictors in must be a subset of the predictors in .
How accurate are our model predictions?
There are three types of uncertainty associated with prediction:
-
The least squares plane, , is only an estimate for the true population regression plane, . This inaccuracy in the coefficient estimates is related to the reducible error of the model, and we can estimate this uncertainty with a confidence interval.
-
Another source of reducible error comes from the model bias, since we are estimating the best linear approximation to the true surface, which may not be linear.
-
Even if we knew , the response value can’t be predicted perfectly because of the random error, in the model. This is the irreducible error. We can estimate how much will vary from with prediction intervals, which are always wider than confidence intervals because they incorporate both the error in the estimate for and the uncertainty as to how much an individual point will differ from the population regression plane.
III. Considerations and Potential Problems
Considerations
- Qualitative Predictors
- For predictors with two values/levels, we use dummy variable that takes the value of either 1 or 0. Note that the assigned values will affect interpretation.
- For predictors with more than two values, we can create additional dummy variables (a total of 1 less than the number of levels).
- We can also code qualitative variables in other ways to measure particular contrasts between variables, which will lead to equivalent models with different coefficients and interpretations.
- Extensions of the Linear Model
- Linear regression assumes that the relationship between response and predictor is additive and linear.
- Non-additive relationships can be representated using an interaction effect in addition to the main effects. Be sure to abide by the hierarchical principle – if using an interaction term, always include the main effects as well since is often correlated with and .
- Non-linear relationships can be represented using polynomial regression, among other methods.
- Linear regression assumes that the relationship between response and predictor is additive and linear.
Potential Problems
- Non-linearity of the repsonse-predictor relationships
- check the residual plots of against to make sure the errors are approximately random
- if residuals exhibit any trends, then try using non-linear transformations of predictors, such as
- Correlation of error terms
- should provide no information about , otherwise the sample standard error will be an underestimate of the true standard error, a confidence interval will not be wide enough, and p-values will be lower than they should be.
- in time series data, residuals plotted against time may exhibit tracking if adjacent residuals are similar; there are many methods (not shown here) that can be used to address this
- outside of time-series data, good experimental design can mitigate the risk of correlated errors
- Non-constant variance of error terms
- heteroskedasticity, or a non-constant , looks like a funnel-shape in residual plots
- potential solution: try transforming the response variable with or
- potential solution: weighted least squares can solve this; for example, if the th response is an average of raw observations that are uncorrelated with their variance, then their average has variance and the non-constant variance is solved by using weighted least squares with observation weights
- Outliers
- outliers that can affect the model, standard error, confidence intervals, and
- check for outliers with studentized residual plots, where residuals are scaled by the standard error . If studentized residuals are greater than 3, then the observations are potential outliers
- High-leverage Points
- points with an unusual x-value are high-leverage points that can adversely affect the model
- leverage can be quantified with the leverage statistic1; this is always between and 1, and the average is
- if a given observation greatly exceeds , then the corresponding point may have high leverage
- Collinearity
- when two or more predictors are highly correlated, it reduces the accuracy of estimates – the standard error of increases, t-statistic decreases, and the power (chance of correctly determining a non-zero coefficient) of the hypothesis test goes down
- potential solutions include dropping or combining collinear variables
- use a correlation matrix to detect collinearity between two variables
- use the variance inflation factor (VIF), shown below, to assess multicollinearity
- is the of the regression of onto all other predictors.
- Note that the smallest value of 1 indicates no collinearity; if it exceeds 5 or 10, then it may be a problem.
IV. Comparison to K-Nearest Neighbors Regression
K-Nearest-Neighbors regression takes the form:
In other words, given a value for K and a prediction point , KNN regression identifies the training observations that are closest to , represented by , and estimates using the average of all the training responses in .
- The optimal K depends on the variance-bias tradeoff; a bigger K leads to a smoother, less flexible fit with low variance and high bias while a smaller K leads to a bumpier fit with high variance and low bias.
- A parametric approach will outperform a non-parametric form if it is close to the true form of , or when there is a small number of observations per predictor.
- KNN Regression suffers from the curse of dimensionality:
- more predictors (dimensions) means neighbors are farther from each other
- KNN performs poorly with lots of predictors
- in higher dimensions, KNN often performs worse than linear regression
V. Applications in R
-
For simple linear regression, the leverage statistic is given by . ⤴


THE POSTMAN A film review by Steve Rhodes Copyright 1997 Steve Rhodes
RATING (0 TO ****): * 1/2
Kevin Costner's latest post-apocalyptic epic, THE POSTMAN, asks the rhetorical question: Is a bad, two hour movie made better by expanding it to three?
Pretentious with a capital P, Costner's POSTAL WATERWORLD delivers such cinematic balderdash that it becomes laughably bad at points. Perhaps with the fat pruned, say an hour and a half or so, the movie could be viewed as a delightful parody of the genre, but as delivered, its pomposity makes laughing at it seem somehow inappropriate, sort of like laughing in church when the priest gets tongue-tied.
"The last of the great cities died when my father was a child," says the Postman's daughter in the opening. Costner in his futuristic Western is known only as The Postman. Set in the year 2013, the country formerly known as the United States consists of a series of disconnected and derelict cities. The government, once way back in Washington, is no more, and acting as a feudal lord, General Bethlehem (Will Patton) rules the land, extracting tribute from each hamlet that his army visits.
Like a religious order, the army has its commandments and its rituals. "Work, and you'll be fed," the general, a copy machine salesman before the war, lectures his newly captured recruits. "Fight, and you'll be respected. Die, and you'll be remembered."
A bad Shakespearean actor and a loner, Costner becomes the Postman after finding a bag of undelivered mail. He travels from city to city delivering the mail and making up stories about a non-existent, new President Richard Starkey (sound familiar?), who now rules from the Hubert Humphrey Astrodome in Minneapolis.
With John Bloomfield's costumes making everyone look like inhabitants of a lost Dickensian novel about the American West, you feel like you should feel sorry for these people. With James Newton Howard's melodramatic music and Stephen F. Windon's sweeping cinematography, you know you are supposed to.
Typical of the ridiculous scenes in the movie is one that involves a Shakespearean contest pitting a conscripted Costner against the general. In a world gone mad, the only intellectual left is the megalomaniacal general, who demolishes our hero in the contest, performed to the grunts and applause of the general's bloodthirsty warriors.
One of the best scenes in the movie -- best in the sense that it is so preposterous that ridiculing it seems appropriate -- happens at an outdoor movie. As the animalistic soldiers get their evening entertainment, the projectionist dares to run something other than their favorite, THE SOUND OF MUSIC. Their reaction is swift and vicious as they try to stone him to death.
The movie flouts realism at every turn. When the Postman and his companion, Abby (Olivia Williams), get stuck in a snow bound cabin for the winter to feast on snow and grass, Amy's coiffure stays immaculate. Somewhere in the cabin, Amy seems to have a hidden blow dryer and a make-up bag.
The story's ending, as rival armies of blue and gold take to the field, combines elements of GETTYSBURG and HIGH NOON. I won't give away who wins, but if you can't figure it out, then you may be part of just the target audience Costner's self-indulgent movie needs.
If you're looking for a patriotic postal service movie for Christmas, then this is your picture. Otherwise, in a season with more good movies that we've had all year, go see one of the many excellent ones instead.
THE POSTMAN runs an incredibly long 3:00. It is rated PG-13 for violence, sex, nudity and dope smoking and would be fine for teenagers.

Wag the Dog A film review by Marty Mapes Copyright 1998 Marty Mapes
**1/2 (out of 4) WHY DOES A DOG WAG ITS TAIL? BECAUSE THE DOG IS SMARTER THAN THE TAIL. IF THE TAIL WERE SMARTER, IT WOULD WAG THE DOG.
Thus opens Barry Levinson's sharp and cynical WAG THE DOG.
The president of the United States has spent 3 minutes unsupervised in a White House closet with a Campfire Girl, 11 days before the election. His spin team has that much time to distract the public and keep the Campfire scandal out of the headlines.
Conrad Brean (Robert DeNiro), the chief spinner, decides that something big is needed to distract the public for 11 full days. Something huge, like a war. And if an event is not wagging the media, then one has to use the media to wag the event.
Rather than having the president declare war, Conrad has the president's press secretary deny nonexistent rumors about a fictitious bomber. He has the president's representatives apologize to the American People for the secrecy demanded by national security. In short, he has the president give the public something even more interesting than a scandal: a secret. A secret so big that it's busting out at the seams.
But Conrad's war has to be more than a few rumors if it is to last eleven days. A good war has to have something memorable, something catchy that people can support and remember, like the video footage of the smart bombs in the gulf war, the five soldiers raising the flag at Iwo Jima, or even "fifty-four forty or fight." So Conrad enlists movie producer Stanley Motss (Dustin Hoffman) to provide him with some visuals. In turn, Stanley enlists the aid of songwriter Johnny Green (Willie Nelson) and a team of Hollywood's great creative thinkers.
Once all the talent is lined up, the magic really starts to happen. Songs are written, footage is staged, and rumors are leaked with all the tight cohesion of reality. A soulful "We Are The World" anthem is recorded with lyrics straight from the Declaration of Independence. A video clip is manufactured of a young girl rescuing a kitten from bombs and guns.  The process appears to be working.
Problems do arise, and they usually seem insurmountable. But after we get to know Conrad and Stanley, nothing seems insurmountable. Each new problem is met with optimism ("This is not a problem! This is nothing!") and creativity. When the opposing candidate plays his own ace, Stanley and Conrad trump him with a wild card. When the CIA has them in check, Conrad convinces them they're playing the same color. In fact, Conrad admits that he'd be a good chess player if he could only remember how all the pieces are SUPPOSED to move.
Stanley and Conrad are a lot of fun to watch. Both characters are clearly on top of the situation at all times, and both are masters of quick thinking. Each new obstacle makes you smile because you want to see how they'll think their way around it. DeNiro and Hoffman both give top-notch performances to these smart and invigorating characters.
But the movie is not all good. Some of the problems are forgivable little annoyances, like the misleading ease with which the team creates video effects, or the dragging as the story nears the end. But there is one real problem that affects the whole movie, and it is the ending.

In music, a "picardy third" is a major chord played at the end of a song in a minor key. There is no opposite to a picardy third; it just doesn't work to put a minor chord at the end of a major song. The same appears to be true of movies.
WAG THE DOG plays as a black comedy right up to the end. The tone undergoes a sudden and grave shift when we learn of the "heart attack" of one of the movie's good guys. On top of that, it appears that a real war is going to start in Albania. Wacky "Albania," that country with the funny name, becomes the real Albania, a country in economic ruin that can't afford any more trouble.
The change seems deliberate, as if Levinson were trying to impart a moral, but it doesn't work and it isn't necessary. The change is too sudden and too drastic for it to be effective, and the movie is so full of cynicism that its message was never in question.
I imagine I'm overreacting to the ending. Most reviews I've read have called WAG THE DOG a great movie, and for the most part, I agree. But the tone of the last few minutes really made me feel jerked around. My last response to the movie was confusion and annoyance.
Then again, maybe that was Levinson's intent.

Google antitrust probe to expand into Android: Report
REUTERS: The several dozen attorneys general investigating advertising practices at Alphabet Inc's Google are planning to expand their antitrust probe into the unit's flagship Android business, CNBC reported on Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter.
The investigation, led by the Texas attorney general's office, is known to have focused on Google's search and digital advertising businesses since it began in September.
Google has said it is cooperating with the probe by U.S. states and territories and that previous investigations in several have considered similar issues without charging the company with wrongdoing. It did not have further comment on Thursday.
The Alphabet unit also faces two other major inquiries — a U.S. Justice Department investigation and a probe by the House of Representatives Judiciary Committee — both of which have broad reviews of the big internet companies underway.
Last year, Google was fined 4.34 billion euros by the European Commission, which said the tech giant gave itself an unfair advantage by pre-installing its Chrome browser and Google search app on Android smartphones and notebooks.

"Officer!" you yell at the top of your lungs.
The two police officers' heads turn your way and Callan is staring at you in disbelief, but he isn't moving.
"Officer! Help!" you yell again.
The two officers close the distance between you. Both of the officers are older, middle-aged, they are both of average height and build. One of them has a cigarette in the corner of his mouth. They are looking from you to Callan, and back. The one smoking notices the blood on Callan and raises an eyebrow.
"Is everything alright, kid?" the officer asks Callan.
"Yes, officer." Callan gives him an innocent smile, "I am sorry to bother you."
"He hurt..."
"Where is the girl now?" the officer says, taking his cigarette out of his mouth.
"I don't know."
"She's not injured then, or 'hurt'." the other officer sneers.
"What is your version?" the first officer asks Callan.
"I met a girl at a bar, she was basically throwing herself all over me."
Callan stops to think for a moment, or maybe he's just drunk.   You almost throw up here and now.
"Was she alone?" the first officer asks.
"Yeah, she was." lies Callan before you have the chance to answer.
"Was she a hooker?" the officer continues.
"Damned if I know." Callan lies again.
You opened your mouth to protest but no word comes out.  The officer nods and asks:
"What happened then?"
"She was all over me, you see officer, my father is in the army." Callan smiles at the officers who visibly relax, "And she was impressed by it."
"She took me out back and rubbed me over my pants." Callan grimaced, "Then she decided to change her mind."
It was deathly silent, you could have heard a pin drop on the ground.
"I took what I deserved." Callan finished and spit on the ground.
The two officer grimaced and nodded. They looked at each other and then the first one said something you didn't expect to hear.
"Alright, carry on boys."
 You watch them walk down the street and turn a corner.  You turn around slowly to face him.
*SMACK*
Callan's fist connects with your jaw, and you collapse to the ground in a heap. He steps over you and spits at you.
"I thought we were friends."
He kicks you in the ribs while you're laying on the ground. The sharp pains make you crawl up in a ball.
"I never wanna see you again 'bro'." he says and walks away from you.
You lay on the ground gasping for air.  For a second your thoughts flash to your family, in particularly your sisters, and you worry for their safety.

Ohio’s last season ended with a whimper.
Amid concerns about the coronavirus pandemic, the American Collegiate Hockey Association suspended its national tournament for the 2019-2020 season and cut short the final season of many of Ohio’s most valuable players.
Ohio lost two of its most lucrative forwards in Gianni Evangelisti, who was recently named ACHA Player of the Year, and Tyler Harkins. Defenseman Jake Houston and goalie Jimmy Thomas have also both graduated.
Thomas was one of the best goalies Ohio ever produced, and the other three seniors were responsible for earning 42% of all the points earned by the Bobcats last season.
Sizeable holes have been left in their lines, but the Bobcats have a wide array of talent to fill the gaps. Returning veterans and promising underclassmen provide assurance that Ohio can continue down a successful path next season.
Evangelisti and Harkins dominated Ohio’s scoring production last season, but they did so thanks to a young and talented offensive core.
Drew Magyar and Ryan Higgins are entering their junior seasons at Ohio and have proved themselves consistent and assertive forces on the ice. Magyar and Higgins scored 24 and 29 points last season respectively, placing them on th
The forwards have two more years to sharpen their skills. After last season was cut short, the two will have a fire in their bellies to surpass their sophomore seasons.
Returning underclassmen like J.T. Schimizzi and Andrew Sacca will have much more time to hone their skills and become potential starters next season. Schimizzi and Sacca both passed the 20 point mark last season, which is an exceptional performance for players only in their freshmen seasons.
In terms of leadership, Kyle Craddick will be a player many of the Bobcats will follow by example. Craddick earned 33 points last season, second to none of the other returning players. When the other Bobcats need someone to turn to, Craddick is the man.
Much like the offense, Ohio’s defense will be a mix of grizzled veterans and promising young talent.
Familiar faces like Shawn Baird and Scott Bagby provide Ohio a firm foundation to build a stalwart defense. Baird is one of Ohio’s strongest defensemen who isn’t afraid to get physical if he needs to.
As last season went on, it became clear that both Sam Turner and Blake Rossi were two promising defensemen that will only continue to grow as their time at Ohio went on. Turner was second only to Houston in terms of points by a defenseman, and Rossi proved himself capable of handling high-stress situations.
Ohio’s returning underclassmen like Patrick Roach and Ryan Hastings will also be given an opportunity to shine. While both had adequate ice time last season, they will have their time in the sun as the Bobcats mold a solid defense once practice begins again.
Ohio has two returning goalies in Jackson Chilberg and Mason Koster. With the departure of Thomas, the duo have the biggest shoes to fill on the team. Thomas was the habitual starter for the Bobcats all four years of his career, which left Koster and Chilberg with few starts of their own.
Koster and Chilberg are in their senior seasons, but they aren’t lacking in experience. Both started at least once last season, and Koster served as interim starting goalie while Thomas was suspended for three games. Chilberg earned a shutout during his start, and Koster’s best game came when he made 47 saves against Lindenwood.
Koster and Chilberg both have the skills to rise to the occasion. If they’re given the proper ice time the duo will give Ohio a strong goalie rotation come next season.

Today is a big day for our little event. A big milestone: it's ticket launch day! 😱So, if you don't read the rest of this Insights email, here's a direct link to the tickets purchase page that will only work from 10am UK time onwards:
The launch day
ffconf is run by myself (Remy 👋) and Julie. We also double as parents to a couple of little tikes, so although launch morning is a huge milestone for us, the morning leading up to 10am is rushing/trying-not-to-rush around getting the kids ready for school and nursery, whilst also mentally running through checklists to make sure the actual launch is a smooth as possible.
Inevitably one of us realises the web site is missing something…every year (you'd think we'd make a note somewhere!). This year Julie spotted this morning that nowhere on the web site does it say it's our 10th year! Even this morning I'm tweaking and tweaking!
The importance of launch day
With the ever growing number of web events, selling tickets becomes harder and harder - particularly as the event gets older since potentially seen as either "always going to be around" or "not new" - of course neither of these are true!
The ticket launch is where we'll sell most of our tickets in a single period. In fact, it was 2013 when we first sold out on our launch day. It took a couple of hours and then all our tickets were done. 2014 took 11 minutes and 2015 took 4 minutes!
As an organiser this is a massive relief – but the flip side was that we felt like we let people down by selling so quickly - and 2013 is when Julie and I first considered running the event twice (it would take until 2016 until we bit the bullet to actually run it twice).
The actual launch
When we first sold out in a massive rush in 2013 - the traffic took down our ticket provider. It was kinda awesome and kinda terrible at the same time. In fact, the exact same thing happened the following year - and by 2015 our ticket provider was working with us so that they would make sure they could handle the traffic bursts.
Currently the ffconf web site runs on Heroku (more on our tech stack in future emails), and it's mostly static content. This is to try to make sure we can serve pages as quickly as possible. The other reason I chose Heroku (some years back) was that scaling to handle a burst of traffic was a matter of moving a slider and letting the dynos run wild for the initial burst, and then scale back down later in the week (and keeping our budget under control). Even with a static site we found this was a good back up to have in place.
Then since our site is mostly static, the actual release process, the process to give you a buy button on the site, requires an actual deployment. Which, I'm kind of ashamed to admit, but it is what it is 🤷♂
If you love our event…
As you read this email right now, know that Julie and I stand over our laptops, excited, worried, stressed and hearts thumping, whilst we watch tickets come through and shout loudly from Social Media Mountain!
If you love our event, please please tell people about it. Tell your friends, tell your social meeja, tell your colleagues and join us in November for a super dooper awesome day.
❤❤

– Remy & Julie

First let me say that my friend is 6'2' 350 lbs, and I am 5'10' 250 lbs. Each time we tried it we were relaxed, calm, and in a serious prepared state of mind (at least I thought). I also have *never* tried any type of drug before (Besides doc prescriptions), salvia being my first. I have never even puffed a cigarrette or been in the same room as weed. I have *never* even tried any type of hallucinigenics or anything of the sort. My friend on the other hand has tried weed once. The setting is usually us seated on a nice comfortable couch in a reclining position. My friend sometimes chooses to lay down I usually just sit comofortably. We also have not tried it with music yet, as we have yet to find a good sound track.
The first time I tried salvia I had my friend sit me, I used 4 dropper fulls of the tincture and held it like its talked about on here (under tongue/back of throat) for about 20 minutes. I felt 'heavy' and when I closed my eyes, I *think* I sorta saw the blood vessels on the back of my eyelids even though it was very dim in the room. My friend tried it after me and had no effect and didn't feel anything.
The second time we tried to smoke a 5x sample we received via a water pipe. it was about 48 hours later. I only sitted as my friend tried it. He loaded up the 'bowl' approximately 3 times, and took a total of 9 hits, each held for approximately 30-45 seconds each. There was still no effect he could feel except for the harshness of the smoke on his lungs. We used a normal lighter and kept it lit on the salvia the entire time while inhaling.
The third time we again tried the tincture, it was about a week after the previous trial. I felt the same 'heavy' feeling and he had no effect. I tried 5 dropper fulls this time, and he tried 7 dropper fulls with no effect. Both of us sat quieting in a very dim room for our attempts.
The fourth time was last night. Which was almost 3 weeks after the last attempt. Although I must say I have *never* smoked anything before but I have heard that salvia is something that deserves to be smoked. My friend tried it with a water pipe, loaded up a couple bowls, took 6 hits total, holding each as instructed and felt nothing. I tried, and after my initial intense coughing on my first few attempts I was able to start to hold the smoke on the 2nd bowl. Although I could barely even hold it 20 seconds each time.
I felt VERY heavy, much heavier then with the tincture. I also felt a very hard pull to my right side which made it even difficult for me to light the bowl for a hit. I took this to mean maybe I should lay off, and I sat there quiet. I didn't see anything, I just felt very calm, and very heavy, and pulled intensely to the right with a very very slight twist to the pull. When I closed my eyes I didn't see anything, but it felt almost like in my mind's eye I felt a red line of lights, pulling my body to the side, but i didn't really see it, its hard to explain. A thought also came into my head, not sure if it was me or not, that pretty much said that my level of consciousness was constantly in a 'salvia space' level, so it is hard to experience. My friend though, after taking another 6 hits still felt nothing.
My friend is very discouraged since he has felt nothing, except last night he did feel a slight 'calming' effect but he wasn't sure if it was from holding his breath so much or if it was from the salvia. I am also slightly discouraged as I have had a very little experiences on all of my trials.
MY SECOND EXPERIENCE
I tried Salvia yesterday with a friend, one of whom I trust. Previously I tried before but the person I was with did not respect salvia and was actually upset at it for not giving him an experience the first few times he tried. So I decided to seek another sitter to help me with my experiences.
He has a very gentle spirit and helped me smoke it via a water pipe. It is the plain leaf that I posted about previously in another thread with pics (The one on how to tell if its good salvia or not). The first 2 hits were easy, and I held them in for a long time. The third hit was very harsh (not sure if this is normal) and I had a hard time holding it in, coughing hard but I managed to hold it all in. I held it for as long as I could, and I didn't really feel nothing.
Next thing I knew my head was back/I was looking up with my eyes closed and I didn't recall ever dropping the pipe or even putting my head back. I didn't 'see' anything, or 'hear' anything, but I just felt like I was in a deep meditative state, almost like I was asleep and part way dreaming. I saw in my minds eyes, a thought, much like a veiny centipede crawling around. Now I didn't see it in any way, nor did I have any visualizations. I also noticed that during it I didn't even remember that my friend was in the room with me and it felt like it only lasted for about 30 seconds. I recall a few times remembering my friend next to me and trying to lift my head to talk to him but I either couldn't or I didn't have the motivation to when I did try.
When I opened my eyes it almost felt like I was waking up from a really nice power nap. But when I tried to move I was almost shaky and weak. I also noticed I had sweat pouring down my face.
When I asked my friend what happened he just said that he helped carry the pipe away and I just let my head slowly fall back and I was like that, totally quiet for about 3 or 4 minutes. He also said that I held the smoke in I didn't let it out until my head was back and I had held it in for almost 2 minutes.
MY THIRD EXPERIENCE
I had my third experience last night with my friend, both of us being very serious about it all. We turned off the lights, turned the AC low (to keep it from kicking on/off during the experience), removed all ticking clocks, and overall set a very dark, very quiet environment. We both used the restroom and spent about 30 minutes relaxing/meditating prior to usage. Last time my friend went first, but this time I went first.
I got comfortable, sitting on a cushion, with one behind my back pressed against a wall on the floor. My friend loaded a bowl in the water pipe, and I held a normal Bic lighter to the salvia in the bowl and I filled the pipe with a lot of smoke and then inhaled quickly. The first time my lungs hurt and I almost lost the smoke but was able to hold it. The 2nd time I inhaled much slower and it was easier on my lungs. The third time he loaded it again for me, handed it to me, and I was unable to light it as I had the lighter backwards. He helped place it correctly in my hand but for some reason I was disoriented at this point and I began giggling but I made myself stop laughing and I took the third hit.
I closed my eyes and relaxed but then I felt my friend hand it to me again and I subconsciously grabbed it, and lit it and took the forth hit. I would like to say that between each hit I DID NOT BREATHE, I held the smoke until he gave me the pipe again, it was only then that I exhaled to only inhale more smoke, holding each hit about 30 seconds. I've never smoked prior to Salvia, so I'm still getting use to it.
During the forth hit it was strange, I got lost in the flame sorta and I had all these emotions rise up and memories of a camping trip I took with my father when I was younger, and I felt I was sitting around a fire with my friend on a camping trip, thinking of a lake to the east of us, and there being a light breeze, all in my mind. I then realized that I wasn't and my thought was nonsense. I took the fourth hit, barely conscious of that which was around me except for the flame.
I don't remember putting the water pipe down. I didn't have any 'visualizations' I believe like seeing things as real as I see during my waking world. But I had a VERY vivid thought vision where my friend which was the last thing I saw on my left, and my legs stretched out on the floor, became melded and began repeating over and over again stretching extremely far to my left right and directly ahead. In this vivid thought vision I saw a red plant-like object spring from it and shoot up high and it curled upon itself and then it seemed an infinite amount of the same red plant sprouted from it and and so forth, it looked exactly like the pictures I have seen with fractals. The plant was pulsating and twitching and seeing alive. I then found myself trying to reach out to touch them and push them aside and even with my eyes closed this entire time, my mind showed me my arms in front of me and my hand was waving back and forth moving the fracteled vision.
I then was sitting there, wondering why I could only have this 'thought visualization' and how I wanted a real visualization, I wanted to see it as real, or if not more real then reality itself. I found myself asking her, saying 'Why can I not see it with my eyes open, or as real as my waking life?' I asked that the vision be made cleared. I literally thought I said it outloud, and could almost hear it echoing in my head.
It was then that the fractals changed, although the visualizations didn't get any more real, they suddenly shifted to a green color in my mind and rushed to my right side, going behind me, and I felt it almost grabbing my face and pulling it to my right. At this point I didn't recall my friend there sitting with me for most of the experience but then I suddenly wanted to tell him about it, but I couldn't really move, I felt paralyzed, but I didn't have any fear and I thought to myself 'Well, Salvia is taking care of me, I'm fine, I guess she wants me to be with her for a little while longer.' The visualizations in my mind continued for a little bit until I finally 'woke up' and I looked hard at my friend, and said 'Am I back!?!?' in a very urgent tone. I then touched the carpet and my legs, almost involuntarily. Although I don't know why I would say or do that as the experience wasn't that 'wild' or 'crazy' that I could remember.
When I did come through I could barely lift my arms, although it was strange.
I asked my friend what had happened and he said I was dead quiet for a minute, then I started reaching in front of me and then I just stopped suddenly and dropped my hands back onto my lap and then a minute after that he saw my head turn to the right. But I was dead quiet during the entire experience. I asked if I had said anything and he said I hadn't, that I was out.
I will also say that I had an intense headache after the experience and even today I still have a slight headache.
Like I said, these all were decently VIVID thought visions, and I don't recall actually seeing any of it. It was all like a 'blurry' dream during the experience. The visualizations in my thought were not that clear, it was like I knew what thought visions I was having, it seemed somewhat clear, yet, I couldn't accurately visialize them. I have heard that you typically 'cry' when the visions you are experiences are so beautiful.
I have yet to feel any presence of Sally, or anyone or anything whatsoever. The space feels somewhat 'empty' in a way right now. I'm guessing that will change as the experiences continue.

Ethnography
The scientific approach to understanding peoples and cultures with their customs, habits, and mutual differences.
I've done two ethnographic study with two different groups and came out with different perspective to understand the closed world of specific group of people. It has created a good impact on my learning ability to understand user research, user approach, scientific scenarios to deal with different subsystem.
My gaining from this cource have significantly improved the way I obsever the people. Indeed it made me wonder to study more about user everytime before I start any kind of project. Rather than just googling about it.

Thanks for the reply. So, I actually sent that reply out to a bunch of people cuz I am looking for the right roommate. Wow some of them are def weirdos! A lot have been asking me for the specific address of my place and I’m not comfortble giving that out yet, because last time I did this I had people knocking on my door un-invited to take a tour on their own time. I need to give you some details first and see if we would be a match before I let you sift through my closets! ;-) Just keep this in mind: I wouldn’t have contacted you if it was out of the area! Duh! :P
So, Attached you will find the pics. I keep the place pretty clean and don’t let it get cluttered – I hope you are the same way!
Based on prior experience, I am going to ask that before I start entertaining and having potential roommates knock on my door and stalk me outside for interviews and tours of the place, I am going to ask if you meet 3 requirements:
1. Do you have any crazy pets? If yes, then I don’t think we’ll work. I don’t mind small or medium pets. Just not large or out-of-control ones. Oh, and NO banned pets! Read more about them here: www.animallaw.info
2. Do you have a history of paying your bills on time? I mean, do you have a verifiable credit score backing you up? If you don’t, you can have a cosigner help you out, but I would require that you to send me the credit report (DO NOT include your social security number!) so I know you are real and honest. There are free credit reports out there with trial periods at websites like FreeCreditScore .com that you should get.
3. Can you commit to staying at least 30 days and give me ample warning (2 weeks notice) when you plan to move out? That’s just being polite! J
If you are serious about coming to check out the place, please reply to this email with the answers to 1 and 3 and a copy of the credit report for number 2. If all is good, I would like to set something up to have you come by and see if we click more. Cool? J
Talk to you soon I hope!
Tina

Extracting Diurnal Patterns of Real World Activity from Social Media
Our most recent work got accepted to ICWSM 2013! See the publications page for the full paper.
Here is the abstract:
In this study, we develop methods to identify verbal expressions in
social media streams that refer to real-world activities. Using
aggregate daily patterns of Foursquare checkins, our methods extract
similar patterns from Twitter, extending the amount of available content
while preserving high relevance. We devise and test several methods to
extract such content, using time-series and semantic similarity.
Evaluating on key activity categories available from Foursquare (coffee,
food, shopping and nightlife), we show that our extraction methods are
able to capture equivalent patterns in Twitter. By examining rudimentary
categories of activity such as nightlife, food or shopping we peek at
the fundamental rhythm of human behavior and observe when it is
disrupted. We use data compiled during the abnormal conditions in New
York City throughout Hurricane Sandy to examine the outcome of our
methods.

Data Engineering Concepts
2020-05-31
8 minutes
Working in industry as a data scientist I’ve found it useful to maintain some understanding of data engineering concepts, even if it’s just at a high-level. This facilitates communication with data engineers who form part of the bridge between data and data scientists in most tech companies (in my experience). Below is a non-exhaustive laundry list of concepts that I’ve found useful to know.
Data Model
A data model organizes the Data and defines the relationship between them. Typically you might see it as an outline of database/schema design, available tables, and how these tables can be linked to one another (in relational databases).
Data Lineage
Data lineage describes what happens to the data as it moves from its origin to its final destination. Depending on the team this destination could be another data repository or it could be a machine learning model. As a data scientist it’s helpful to understand data lineage since it help you determine whether the assumptions you’re making in your problem solving are appropriate.
Partitioning
Partitioning is just a generic process of splitting up a table to make it more efficient to query. The reason being that you only read the partition(s) into memory that you’d want to query. Basically you’re offloading a part of your query (specifically the part that involves filtering the data) to the partitioning logic.
Partitioning by time is fairly popular. For example, we might find ourselves querying recent data compared more compared to historical data. It would probably make sense to split up the data between recent and historical so that, for most of our queries, we only hit the recent partition as opposed to all of the data.
However, suppose we have partitioned by time but want to query all of a give user’s data. The partition work that we have done is irrelevant. We have to read all the data into memory since we can’t be certain that there is no data for a given user in any of the partitions. In this case it might be useful to partition by user instead.
In some cases it might be useful to partition by both time and user. However, if we make the partition definition too granular then we could end up increasing our query time (i.e. we will be doing a lot of reads from disk).
Sharding is a type of horizontal partitioning that separates the rows of a table into multiple tables (partitions).
The advantages of sharding are that it
- Reduces query time
- Mitigates the impact of outages
- Facilitates horizontal scaling (i.e. the addition of new servers to grow out the database).
The disadvantages are that it,
- May result in data loss since the process of sharding can be complex
- Is diffcult to revert back to non-sharded architecture.
- Might result in unbalanced shards (i.e. depending on the sharding logic and the data we might end up with more records in a given shard compared to other shards).
Three ways to implement sharding are,
- Key based. This uses a hash function to determine which shard each record should go into. This can be problematic when creating new shards since it requires updating the hash function and therefore updating all the old shards.
- Range based. This uses contiguous non-overlapping splits of a range of a particular column to determine which shard each record should belong to.
- Directory based. This uses a lookup table (directory) to determine which determines that shard that each record should go into. This can be problematic when sharding on columns that have high cardinality as there will be a lot of records to maintain in the lookup table.
Columnar Data
To understand a column store database it’s useful to understand its counterpart, a row store database. Suppose you’re querying a subset of columns of a data table. With row storage you have to read all the rows into memory and the drop whatever columns you don’t require (even if the data is partitioned by a certain column). With column storage you only read the columns that you query. This is more efficient. In order to accomplish this type of querying you have to store the data in a column-wise format.
Scheduled Date vs Execution Date
It’s important to be able to have access to both the scheduled run date and the execution run date of a job. The scheduled date is the date that the job was scheduled to run and the execution date is the date at which a job actually runs.
In most cases they will be the same. They differ when you want to trigger a previous run of your job in such a way that your job operates as if it was running at a previous date (the scheduled run date) not today’s date (the execution date).
Idempotent Jobs
A job is idempotent if the output is the same even when you run it multiple times with the same parameters. For example, if you trigger the same job multiple times then you shouldn’t end up with duplicated data. If you do then your job fails to be idempotent.
Here are some strategies to keep your job idempotent:
- Scheduled Date: Read data a reasonable amount of data in and perform transformations on it using the scheduled date instead of the execution date.
- Atomic: Make your job atomic by allowing it to succeed completely, otherwise it should fail completely. The entire job should fail if one part of the job does not complete successfully. In these situations you should also clean up or undo any changes you’ve made to existing data. In Python this can be done using try/except logic.
- Purge: Delete before writing data produced by your job. This will prevent jobs from duplicating data in situation where they need to be rerun.
SQL and NoSQL Databases
A SQL database is your typical relational database. It contains tables whose columns some sort of relationship between one another. For example, there might be one table that contains information about movies watched by users, where movies are identified by some movie ID. This may be combined with another table that has movie IDs and the corresponding meta information about the movie (title, genre, runtime, etc).
A NoSQL database is sort of like a catchall for everything that’s not a SQL database. There are reasons for not storing data in relational format. For example, it might not be sensible to store images or audio files in key-value pairs instead of a relational table format (although meta information about these objects might be stored in such a way). Or say we want to be able to find all the users that watched a movie that a given user watched. It probably makes more sense to store this information in a graph database instead of a relational database.
Data Warehouse
Hitting raw data files is not an efficient way to create business intelligence reports or ad hoc queries with your data. A data warehouse sits on top of your raw data and provides centralized access to all data (most likely cleaned and transformed) for users. Often a data warehouse is used to enable users to access data with SQL queries and is optimized for read performance over write performance.
Data Federation
In some cases you might have multiple databases responsible for storing different types of data or collecting data from different locations. Data federation defines a common data model for these databases so that the application can query a single data source.
Data Replication
This pretty much does what it says on the tin. In some cases you might want to,
- Increase the availability of your data so that your application is not bottlenecked by hitting a single data source.
- Ensure the reliability of data access so that your applications are not vulnerable if a data source goes down for some reason.
- Speed up query performance.
If you copy the original data (replication) into multiple servers then you’re increasing the availability/reliability/speed through horizontal scaling. You could do a full replication the data which would involve a complete copy of all the data into additional servers, or you could do a partial replication data which would only copy a subset of the data into additional servers. While this comes with the advantages outlined above, there are storage costs to consider when duplicating data (particularly massive amounts of data). There is also the additional overhead of monitoring and making sure that the replicates stay in sync with updates to the source data (including updates to historical data).
Caching
This isn’t strictly a data engineering concept, but it’s a way to access data to ensure a streamline front end application experience (e.g. when you want to reduce the latency of a table/graphic that is presented to a user). Typically it’s faster to access data from memory than it is from disk. Caching basically stores a portion of your data in memory. When a data request is made, you first check to see if it is in the cache. If it’s not available then you defer to the database. Typically you’d want to cache data that’s frequently requested by the application.

Soak Away Aches and Pains
A deep warm soak or therapeutic massage is great for arthritis pain, rheumatism, back pain and other common ailments. Imagine how good you'll feel!


Generic sentence with a focusable before the demo element.
Generic sentence with another focusable after the demo element.
What this meets: it works with keyboard, should work with touch (however mobile devices are weird about whether they try for a pseudo "hover" state or not) though the target area is too small for small and touch screens (minimum 18-24mm in size and minimum half that for the distance between clickable elements).
This will be difficult to impossible to use for speech recognition users unless you tell them the clock is a button and what its name is. This example is not using font-awesome, but the correct way to code that accessibly is something like:
<button>

Late assessment available

</button>
(the button coded above is not coded for disclosure-widget-ness with the necessary aria-expanded attribute, it's just an example of making the icon part accessible. For icons who are purely decorative, all you need is the i element and aria-hidden on it)

The MDC class is similar to the NDC class except that it is based on a map instead of a stack.
It provides mapped diagnostic contexts. A Mapped Diagnostic Context, or MDC in short, is an instrument for distinguishing interleaved log output from different sources. Log output is typically interleaved when a server handles multiple clients near-simultaneously.
The MDC is managed on a per thread basis. A child thread automatically inherits a copy of the mapped diagnostic context of its parent.

I see some bear signals on btc, i think its stop for some time. I am start buying kmd.
actionslacks26-Jun-19 02:59 AM
so what was the record for unconfirmed transactions for btc?

Hollowman900026-Jun-19 03:41 AM
Have we worked together?
Ping me offline and let’s do lunch
kmdkrazy26-Jun-19 03:51 AM

Woah
It's hard to believe
It seems you might be antagonizing
Hollowman900026-Jun-19 03:55 AM
Your KMD is zero
Dump your zeros
Only on binance and digitalprice
These are best

kmdkrazy26-Jun-19 03:56 AM
I have a lot
Hollowman900026-Jun-19 03:56 AM
Then dump a lot
grewalsatinder26-Jun-19 03:56 AM
I can halp
Can donate ur kmd to meh(edited)
kmdkrazy26-Jun-19 03:57 AM
It will effect the market...or is it affect?
I hate this game
I'll stop watching
Last time btc was 12k...kmd was $8
grewalsatinder26-Jun-19 03:59 AM
If charts make u unhappy don't watch it
Be back when btc bleed
They will make u happy(edited)
kmdkrazy26-Jun-19 03:59 AM
I'm sweating
Ok
I'll just wait for the 20k mark when I lose another 40%
I'll turn off the TV
And wait
actionslacks26-Jun-19 04:06 AM
btc mooning is very good for everyone in crypto. you are stressing for little to no reason.

kmdkrazy26-Jun-19 04:07 AM
I'll wait.
I am 80% KMD ..
I destroyed my portfolio a couple years ago when I saw this project
Maybe I should start trading
actionslacks26-Jun-19 04:08 AM
we all got destroyed a couple years ago
PHBA206126-Jun-19 04:11 AM
back in 2017, kmd was bleeding during 2 months before spiking to its ATH. It's possible that the same thing will happen again
a bit sad because KMD is currently out of top 60 though

kmdkrazy26-Jun-19 04:17 AM
What does that mean
Ohh...I understand
actionslacks26-Jun-19 04:17 AM
well this is #talk-trading, anyone dump kmd into btc like a champ?
kmdkrazy26-Jun-19 04:17 AM
Should be top 10
Dude...
I should have 4 days ago
Are we in the middle or the end?
I'm guessing 40k and all ALTs ded
actionslacks26-Jun-19 04:19 AM
idk, I stopped playing with knives in 2018
kmdkrazy26-Jun-19 04:20 AM
I stopped too
actionslacks26-Jun-19 04:20 AM
my life still runs on dollars so i'm fine with skimming rewards once a month
much less drama
kmdkrazy26-Jun-19 04:20 AM
Maybe I should have put it back in ignorance and not a product
actionslacks26-Jun-19 04:21 AM
yeah, reading whitepapers is an exercise in futility
kmdkrazy26-Jun-19 04:21 AM
I'm going to just worry about love from now on.
 I'm not a trader or miner (at this time)
I sold my miners during my divorce
I test as good as I can when I am available
Good instructions make good testers
actionslacks26-Jun-19 04:30 AM
yeah barterdex was fun, but showed me how much you have to simplify things down for real adoption,

| benchmarkStructVsMap | ( | n | ) |
Check performance of different Matlab data structures.
| n | the number of items to try adding to each data structure @ details Adds n values to a struct, and to a containers.Map object. Measures how long it takes to add the values, and how long it takes to access them. Plots a summary in the gcf() figure. |
| fileList findFiles | ( | folder | , |
| fileFilter | |||
| ) |
Locate files at or below the given folder.
| folder | path where to start looking for files |
| filter | optional regular expression for filtering files |
findFiles() recursively searches folder and its subfolders for files. If folder is omitted, uses pwd(). By default, returns all files. fileFilter may contain a regular expression, in which case only files whose names match @fileFilter are included. Matching is performed on full, absolute path names.
Ignores subfolders that contain '.'. Ignores files that start with '.' or end with "~" or "ASV".
Returns a cell array of string which are the full, absolute path names of files that were found and matched.
Here are some examples: allMatlabFiles = findFiles(matlabroot); myDataFiles = findFiles(myFolder, 'data');
| colors puebloColors | ( | n | ) |
Get a colormap with bold, Earthy colors.
| n | the length of colormap to build |
Returns an nX3 colormap with rows of the form [R G B], and components in the range 0-1.
The "Pueblo" colors are inspired by the art work in Gerald McDermott's book Arrow to the Sun (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrow_to_the_Sun). There are only a few unique colors in this color map. If n is larger than the number of colors, they are repeated.
Most of the "Pueblo" colors are on the red side of the spectrum. They show up well against black.
Here's a demo:
| colors spacedColors | ( | n | ) |
Get a colormap with evenly-spaced colors that show up against white.
| n | the length of colormap to build |
Returns an nX3 colormap with rows of the form [R G B], and components in the range 0-1.
Here's how spacedColors() picks evenly-spaced colors that show up against white: it uses a cube with sides in the interval [0 1]. It treats each cube dimension as a color component. Thus, any point in the cube can be interpreted as an RGB color.
Colors near the [1 1 1] corner will be close to white, so they won't show up against a white background. spacedColors() truncates the cube by cutting off points near [1 1 1]. It picks n colors from the rest of the cube, by taking evenly-spaced strides. The smaller n, the greater the spacing between colors.
Here's a demo:
| subpos subposition | ( | position | , |
| r | , | ||
| c | , | ||
| ii | , | ||
| jj | |||
| ) |
Get a rectangular sub-region of a rectangle.
| postion | 1x4 matrix that defines a rectangle, [x y w h] |
| r | the number of rows to divide position into |
| c | the number of columns to divide position into |
| ii | the row index of the desired sub-region |
| jj | the column index of the desired sub-region |
Returns an array of the form [x y w h] which defines the rectangular subregion found at the iith row and jjth column of position.
subposition() is similar to the Matlab's built-in subplot(), but it operates on position rectangles (that is, arrays) rather than Matlab graphics objects.
| t topsClock | ( | ) |
Get the current time as a number.
Returns the time in seconds since topsClock() was first called. topsClock() uses a private instance of Matlab's builtin tic()-toc() stopwatch.
| topsPath topsRoot | ( | ) |
Get the absolute path to the Tower of Psych project root.
If Tower of Psych is on the Matlab path, returns an absolute path string to where Tower of Psych is located.
| didPass topsRunTests | ( | fileFilter | ) |
Invoke Tower of Psych unit tests at or below the current folder.
| fileFilter | optional regular expression to filter test files |
Runs unit tests for Tower of Psych. Searches the current folder and subfolders for files whose names begin or end with "test" or "Test", and executes any Matlab xunit tests they define. If fileFilter is supplied, limits tests to those files that match fileFilter.
Attempts to avoid sequential effects by invoking multiple "clear" statements between test files.
If all unit tests are successful, returns true. If any unit test fails, aborts and returns false.
Here are some examples: isOK = topsRunTests(); isFoundationOK = topsRunTests('foundation');


Here is a list of differences:
Thats easy. Simply add the category of the missing entries to the category filter. Then the data will be shown up and calculated in the week view.
Simply use the back-gesture in the week view. The app gets minimized to the dashboard then. From there you can easily check in and out, without opening the app.
No. I checked the reliability of GPS and WiFi events and was not satisfied.
It seemed to be more work, correcting the automatic generated entries,
then checking in and out manually.
The dashboard mode gives the user support to check in and out as
easy as possible.
Yes. Currently it is not comfortable, but possible. Do it in the following steps:


Dhanurasana
How To Do:
- Lie on your stomach with your feet hip-width apart and your arms by the side of your body.
- Fold your knees, take your hands backward and hold your ankles.
- Breathing in, lift your chest off the ground and pull your legs up and back.
- Look straight ahead with a smile on your face.
- Keep the pose stable while paying attention to your breath. Your body is now curved and taut as a bow.
- Continue to take long deep breaths as you relax in this pose. But bend only as far as your body permits you to. Do not overdo the stretch.
- After 15 -20 seconds, as you exhale, gently bring your legs and chest to the ground. Release the ankles and relax.
Benifits:
- Strengthens the back and abdominal muscles
- Stimulates the reproductive organs
- Opens up the chest, neck and shoulders
- Tones the leg and arm muscles
- Adds greater flexibility to the back
- Good stress and fatigue buster
- Relieves menstrual discomfort and constipation
- Helps people with renal (kidney) disorders
Cautions:
- Do not practice Dhanurasana (Bow Pose) if you have:
- High or low blood pressure
- Hernia
- Neck injury
- Pain in the lower back

GSETTINGS-SCHEMA-C(1) User Commands GSETTINGS-SCHEMA-C(1) NAME gsettings-schema-convert - GConf to GSettings schema conversion SYNOPSIS gsettings-schema-convert [option...] {file} DESCRIPTION gsettings-schema-convert converts between GConf and GSettings schema file formats. Note that the conversion is not expected to be fully automated. You are expected to verify and edit the result of the conversion. Note that GSettings schemas need to be converted into binary form with glib-compile-schemas before they can be used by applications. Options -h, --help Print help and exit -o OUTPUT, --output=OUTPUT Store the generated output in the file OUTPUT. If no output file is specified, the generated output is written to stdout. -f, --force Overwrite the output file if it already exists. -g, --gconf The input file is a GConf schema. -s, --simple Produce a GSettings schema in simple format. The simple format is easier to edit and can be converted into the XML format with gsettings-schema-convert later on. -x, --xml Produce a GSettings schema in XML format. If the output format is not explicitly specified, this is the default. -i ID, --schema-id=ID Use ID as the schema id in the generated GSettings schema. -d DOMAIN, --gettext-domain=DOMAIN Use DOMAIN as the gettext domain in the generated GSettings schema. -u, --keep-underscores Keep underscores in key names instead of replacing them with dashes. GSettings keys should not contain any underscore. SEE ALSO gsettings-data-convert(1) a related command to migrate user settings from GConf to GSettings.

The Interactive Dancefloor is a life-sized midi controller working with Arduino and Ableton Live. Here we somewhat obliterate the role of the musician, giving the people the chance to be the performer and the composer of the musical piece.
All electronics and sound-design was made by our team in order to allow an interactive experience where is dancing that brings music to life and not the other way around.
12 different “pads” are able to control up to 12 different instruments equalized to work together, generating a complex and rich sound, ranging from ambient textures to deep basses and hard kicking drums.
This was a team project done by me (Mariana Freitas), João Rodrigues, Margarida Botelho and Sandrina Pereira.

Rhys hated that there were always other people there. They littered the place, worse than the food wrappers, tickets and plastic bags they brought with them; they were lichen, clinging to everything and wearing it down. As the days grew longer in the spring, and he had more daylight in which to make his observations, so the number of people waxed too (although, even at the winter solstice, a dark and grim scrap of a festival, he could never find himself alone). In short, he wanted them all to go home or die, or to disappear somehow and never have been.
