INTRODUCTUCTORY NOTES
This report is an attempt at a description of an experience I had while on 4 tabs of LSA derived from ergot.
Imagine you found a valley paradise, a most magnificent scene, full of golden sunlight, tropical flowers, rainbow birds, gorgeous green hills and majestic trees. You see morning mist wafting above lush green plains all below an azure sky. Now imagine that upon returning home you feel the need to share this experience with friends but all you can do is make a few measly sketches that do not come close to doing the scene justice.
The following report is, by analogy, like those hypothetical sketches. They are only feeble outlines of the experience itself. Please keep that in mind when you read it. Also, almost every descriptive word is not to be taken literally, but a linguistic signification of an experience that eludes language.
I took four tabs of what was supposed to be ergot-derived LSA. I have examined the question of what this stuff may or may not be in detail in my experience report entitled “Lysergic Bioassay I – Visual and Auditory Phenomena”. I will not go into the same details here, but if the reader is interested he or she can read that report. Suffice it to say I believe the tabs were LSA.
The EXPERIENCE
As mentioned, I took 4 tabs of this stuff. Earlier in the day and again a little while before taking these tabs I had taken some extra vitamin C and drank some orange juice. I do not know if this really improves the effects of substances like LSD, LSA and so on, but it sure seemed as if it did.
I noticed some preliminary effects within 20 minutes of taking the tabs. By an hour it was definitely underway. I went outside to look at the July moon, which was a few days from being full. The luminescent clouds drifting across the night sky were ghostly and hauntingly beautiful. Stars blinked in my peripheral view and took on a depth I noticed the last time I took these tabs. I could see that some stars were further away than others whereas we normally see the starry sky as a flat field. After some time I could feel that the preliminary stage was moving into the full experience stages. At this point I went inside, did a little yoga, a little tai chi and then lay down and listened to a particular CD that I had set aside earlier.
The CD is disc of a set of 5 discs called “Symphonies of the Planets”. These are actual recordings made by the NASA Voyager craft as it made its way to the outer reaches of our solar system. Yes, there is actually audible sounds in outer space and the NASA Voyager recorded it. This may be boring to those with short attention spans or who can not tune into the subtleness of these recordings.
Rather they lure you in, if you are patient, and open you up to a deep, wonderful universe of sound. It was probably about 1 ½ hours to 2 hours since I had taken the tabs that I had put the CD on. I think I laid down just in time for the deep effects of the LSA to take me in tow. I became especially receptive to the deep subtlety of the sounds of the CD. In fact, what may seem like barely noticeable ambient background sounds to some were clear, powerful and highly detailed and complex sounds to myself. Within a few short minutes I became very, very involved with the recording.
It seemed as if I had become a transceiver (both receiver and transmitter) in a cosmic communication network somewhat how an internet server works within the World Wide Web allowing multiple computers to interconnect and share information through it. By the very nature of being a bioelectric conduit for consciousness localized in time and space, my neurological-consciousness system (that is, my brain and the mind attending it) attuned and tuned in to a much wider range of frequencies and resonated with the sounds of the universe.
I both received and transmitted a vast, multi-layered omni-directional signaling network. My mind and brain was merely one transceiver among many as if my own neural network (being a microcosm) was linked into a cosmic network (being a macrocosm) in which my own awareness was merely one node connected to millions of other nodes, all receiving and re-transmitting these sounds.
One of the more intriguing images to come from the Vedic tradition (Hindu mythology) is that of Indra’s Net. Indra, a sky and thunder god in the Hindu pantheon, had a network of pearls set up in the sky. Each pearl reflected each and every other pearl so that a single pearl both received and transmitted the images of all the other pearls. Anything object or being that cast a reflection in one pearl could be seen in all of the pearls. In this way one being at any point within Indra’s Net could see and be seen by any other at any point within the net. In such a net, light or information passes between all of these pearls in all directions at once but the pearls are necessary for these signals to become perceivable. I felt as if my consciousness was making these otherwise unperceivable signals perceivable. But I also felt as if, in some way, I was serving to spread these signals even further, as if I were like a new pearl for our little corner of the galaxy.
Now I must mention that this communication, this signaling was not like what we as intellect-minded human beings would think of as communication. In other words, there were no distinct linguistic units, nothing resembling language as we think of it with words or even abstract or coded representation of information in the form of blips and beeps, dots and dashes or digital communication in the form of zeros and ones.
Rather, it seemed to be more of an organic (although alien) communication, perhaps something like what passes between plants, birds and bees with pheromones emitted into the environment like radio towers radiating ambient signals, each wave of signals resonating with others or else bouncing off others, all blending, overlapping and/or reacting to make an oceans of overlapping and intermingling communication.
There were moments in which it seemed like a series of spread out bells and gongs were passing resonating signals between them. The gongs were deep and hollow. The bells were crystalline and delicate. Other times it seemed as if driven storms of flanged frequencied turbulences blew through an otherwise clear pool of stellar fields like swift volatile clouds passing across a night sky of twinkling silver stars. These passed like turbulence upon the surface of a calm pool reflecting the starry sky at night.
There were deep rumbling bass tones like distant cosmic thunder rolling but never cracking. There was what seemed almost like the haunted howlings of lost hungry hag-spirits or the undead demonic soul-predators, or furies of chaos from the black yawning void. But these came and went. I feared these not because there was not much “I” to do any fearing. As the saying goes, “Yogis in the jungle have no need to fear tigers”. Calmness prevailed.
There were fields of ambient frequencies, signals and tones sent out and criss-crossing in new resonant patterns that took on their own new frequencies. Imagine the pattern a pebble would make on the surface of a pond if you threw it in. Now imagine what patterns would occur if you through a few pebbles in different areas of the pond. They would radiate ripples from center points and these would reach each other and overlap to make new patterns.
In some ways these signals were like the jungles of sound one hears in the summer where it is highly populated with a variety of insects all buzzing, clicking, humming, vibrating, rising here, then there, in harmony here, in discord there, setting up ambiences of sound ripe with organic (not linguistic or coded) messages. In other ways these signals were like spring mornings, in which birds send out their songs of action and reaction, calls and responses.
For the most part I was entranced so that I was a passive observer with not much of an identity to speak of. However - and this is where it gets into highly synchronistic wonderful weirdness - it seemed that the level, quality and activity of all these frequencies and sounds were in some way directly linked or synched with the level of mental activity I had. In other words, the calmer my mental activity was, the calmer these sounds were.
This connection was not vague but instantaneous and perfectly matched. At times I would fall into a deep meditative state devoid of thought. This was when the ambience of sound was like a clear starry sky reflected upon the calm surface of a mirror pool. At other times I would start to think of how amazing this all was and with this mental activity came waves of active sound welling up from deep space like ripples on a pool, scattering the light of the reflected moon and stars.
I would imagine that if I were hooked up to a machine that monitors brain-wave activity the ongoing level of my brain wave activity would be very much in synch with the activity of a graphic equalizer for the CD I was listening to. Perhaps this is too much of a reductive materialistic notion. Perhaps what I was experiencing would not have been apparent with current technological readouts. No matter.
After the experience this apparent synchronicity between my consciousness and these sounds made me think of that old axiom, “As above, so below” meaning that the microcosm (individual consciousness of the infinite inner world) and the macrocosm (the infinite cosmos) reflect each other. The virtual cosmos of sound provided by the CD and my mind/brain were deeply in synch.
This makes me think of an important comparison I would like to make, especially because it seems to be mainly overlooked by the entheogenic community. In the east, yogis and Buddhist monks say that as one deepens the practice of meditation, one will eventually hear certain inner sounds. These sounds are described as resembling bells, gongs, a certain kind of howling sound (like hungry ghosts), deep bass rumbles and so on.
Some may speculate that these sounds come from the circulatory system (heart beat and blood flow), the air passing through the lungs, the whine of the electrochemical processes of the nervous system, and so on. Perhaps these sounds have more subtle sources, like the prana, the chi or the non-material energy the meditator becomes increasingly tuned into and intoned with. I do not know myself and I cannot say that I have perceived such sounds with meditation unaided by entheogens. But if one reads the descriptions of these sounds and listens to one of these “Symphony of the Planets” CDs one can not help but notice that they seem to be the same sounds.
This makes me wonder if this experience could have been had without the CD, perhaps with a higher dosage or perhaps with lower dosage in an isolation tank or some other sensory deprivation situation. I hope to practice meditation and experience these sounds that it is said one can hear. This would give me a better perspective on all of this. However, as a yogi or a Buddhist monk would say, this is not a goal, only transient phenomena. But as Aleister Crowley would say, “Emptiness with twinkles… ahh, but what twinkles!” In other words, this play and dance of universal energy and consciousness is not enlightenment, it can even be a distraction from enlightenment, but how beautiful is this dance! Shun it not, but grasp it not. Experience it fully without push or pull and let it move on when and if it moves on.
Interstellar signals like neurotransmiting tryptamines between brain cells, synaptic signals like electron pheromes emiting scents from flowers to insects. A web of cognitive signals, myriads of fields, particle/wave interactions, waves within waves within waves. I was immersed, one data point in a universal field of quantum complexity and fluid smoothness - digital details and analogue flow – at the intersection of the individual and the universal, a convergence of the inner and the outer where forces and signals, both tenuously delicate and unfathomably undaunted ebbed and flowed.
Force-fields, thin clear beams like lasers of sound, smooth crests, clouds of particulate sounds like swarms of electron bees, echoes of fractal complexity, resonating sound-scapes made of smaller versions of themselves, forming larger than life cathedrals of transient sound structures in flux. It was sort of an Ethernet for intercommunication among vastly variegated life forms from all over the galaxy.
The CONTACT WITH the OTHER
Through it all, some alien presence emerged within my awareness, or was received by my awareness. It was a sentient presence, something I could barely recognize as a mind or entity of some sort because it was so strange. It was alien, but natural, intelligent but incomprehensible. I feared not. I let go, opened to it. Then there was a period of time that passed in which I was not aware of what was happening. I do not think I was asleep, but it was as if my individual mind ceased to exist after the encounter with the xenogenous (alien born) being.
I felt as if something very important had happened. It seemed as significant to me as it would if a physical flying saucer landed in my backyard and some alien came out and greeted me. But this encounter occurred in my mind and therefore this is very slippery. By definition this was a subjective experience and I can not consider it a “real” contact with a “real” alien being.
After some indeterminate period of time I was again aware. I found myself thinking thoughts again, reeling over the enormity of what I had been experiencing just as the CD was coming to the end. I slowly sat up and looked at the clock. A mere 2 ½ hours had passed since I had first taken the tabs. I could not believe it. It seemed as if many more hours had passed. I got up, drank some juice, and so on but my jaw was hanging open in amazement. The experience was so intense that I decided to not repeat it that night. It was time to lie down again and just dwell on what had happened.
Again I entered into a deep trance. Every once in a while I became aware of my individual self when my bladder was too full. It probably was a result of all the vitamin C and orange juice, but I had to urinate many times that night. It served as a periodic grounding, like a kite string that would sometime pull me down to earth for a bit here and there.
Unlike the other two times I had taken these tabs, I noticed no slow “up then down” cycles of my interior auditory phenomena. Perhaps this had something to do with the fact that the other two times I took the tabs when the moon was far from full and that this time I took the tabs a few days before the full moon. Perhaps the vitamin C had something to do with it. At any rate, my internal sounds were smooth, calm, and interesting. I slept for about 2 hours and woke up feeling refreshed and ready for a good walk in the woods with my wonderful wife and son.
I would like to try a similar experiment with a CD presented by the band Current 93, Harry Oldfield “Crystal” which is comprised of recordings made from crystals made to vibrate at certain frequencies. I can only wonder what this may be like.

Baltimore museum to acquire only works by women in 2020
by The Associated Press, StaffBALTIMORE -- The Baltimore Museum of Art will add only artwork created by women to its permanent collection in 2020.
Museum director Christopher Bedford announced the policy Thursday, saying something radical must be done to rectify centuries of imbalance. The Maryland museum acquired its first work by a female artist in 1916, two years after it was founded and three years before women gained the right to vote in the U.S. Today, only 4% of the 95,000 pieces in its permanent collection were created by women.
News outlets report each of the museum's exhibits will be strongly tied to women. Nineteen will showcase art solely by women, including at least one transgender artist.
Bedford says the museum is working to "correct our own canon" and address historical blind spots.

Underscore.date is a javascript date library that helps parse, manipulate, and format dates.
It doesn't modify the native `Date` prototype, so it's safe to drop into any site.
While not dependant on underscore, it does follow the same philosophy, and if underscore exists on your page, underscore.date will mix itself in.
You can download this project in either zip or tar formats.
You can also clone the project with Git by running:
$ git clone git://github.com/timrwood/underscore.date
npm install underscore.date
var _date = require('underscore.date');
console.log(_date('September 9 1999').fromNow());
If underscore exists, underscore.date will mix itself into the underscore namespace, so you can use as you would use an underscore function.
_.date('September 9 1999').fromNow();
Otherwise, you should use _date
.
_date('September 9 1999').fromNow();
Format a Unix timestamp
_date(1300291340510).format("MMMM Do, YYYY") // >>> "March 16th, 2011"
Get timeago for a date string
_date("7-10-1986", "MM-DD-YYYY").fromNow() // >>> "25 years ago"
Get the current time and add 3 hours
_date().add({h:3}).fromNow() // >>> "in 3 hours"
Change the language

In The Toolbox - Commit Checklist
Once Iíve finished the inner development cycle for a new feature or bug fix Ė write tests, code, build and run Ė itís time to think about committing those changes and therefore publishing them to a wider audience, i.e. my team. With the fun part out of the way itís quite easy to rush this last stage and therefore publish a change that falls short in some way, either from a short or longer term perspective. At its most disruptive it could be the code which is broken through lack of proper integration or a partial (or overzealous) change-set that excludes (or unexpectedly includes) files or code that was never intended to be published. On the flip-side the actual code might be good but the cohesiveness or surrounding documentation may be lacking therefore making future software archaeology [1] harder than it need be.
Although the mental checklist I follow when committing any change is pretty much the same there are some significant differences that have emerged due to the version control product I might be using. For the purposes of this article Iíve tried to talk about ďpublishingĒ a change when I mean the act of making it visible to the outside world. In a classic centralised VCS like Subversion the act of committing and publishing are one and the same (private branches notwithstanding), whereas for a distributed VCS like Git they are distinct steps. The latter (DVCS) brings a number of affordances over the former (CVCS) around committing that are particularly useful at commit time.
Hence the general order that these steps are done are somewhat dependent on the VCS tool in use. For example with a CVCS like Subversion where you have (had) no ability to commit to an integration branch locally first you need to consider how youíll address the implicit merge that will occur as part of the integration step. In contrast with Git you can focus on the steps one at a time Ė get your commit sorted, then integrate otherís work, and finally tidy up before publishing.
In this article Iíve ordered the steps more like the CVCS world (review, integrate, then commit & publish) rather than the DVCS style (review, commit, integrate, then publish). Either way the checklist Iíll describe is essentially portable, itís just a little easier when you have more time between getting your house in order and showing it to the world at large.
The first thing to do after hacking around the codebase trying to get the bug fixed or the feature added is to ensure the set of changes that will comprise the eventual commit is ďcleanĒ. This means that what we eventually commit is what we intended to commit Ė no unexpected side-effects caused by transient workarounds, accidents or interference from the IDE and tools.
As a starter for ten the code needs to compile and the tests need to pass. Itís all too easy to make localised changes and run just the handful of tests that you believe is required to verify the change is working. Before committing we need to take a step back as we switch mind-set from creator to publisher so, after a deep breath, I need to run the build script which should clean the workspace, compile the code and run all the necessary tests to give me the confidence I need to promote the change. Itís important that the build script I use is the same one that my team-mates and the build server will use so that we all agree on what process is used to create the final deliverable.
I make an extra special effort to deep cleanse my workspace before doing the final build because too often in the past Iíve been caught out by stray artefacts leftover from development that have somehow managed to taint the change and make it appear to work. The CI server should be working from a fresh workspace and therefore I try and do the same, albeit by cleaning up rather than creating a fresh one. With Git itís as easy as ďgit clean -fdxĒ, but with other VCS tools I manually write a script [2] to do it.
With a (hopefully) minimal set of edited files and folders in my working copy the next step is to verify that only the code I intended to change exists there. During development or manual testing I may have commented out some code, tweaked a default value or adjusted the configuration to get things into a known state for such testing. Or perhaps a tool did something I didnít realise and I need to back that out because it happened by accident.
Alternatively I may have added a new setting that I defaulted for the tests but which needs applying to other environments too. With the rise of automated refactoring tools and smarter IDEs many of the changes we make might now be done for us. However a tool like this will only go so far and try to keep the code intact after each small edit, but itís common for a single small refactoring, such as the deletion of code, to unearth further similar refactorings. Static code analysis is usually limited to advising on the current snapshot instead of chasing the turtles all the way down, so we still have to do that bit manually.
In essence the review step may need to be done a number of times as we identify a problem with the change, make a correction, potentially re-build and re-run the tests, and then review the change once more in the context of the revised change-set.
My reviewing process probably follows that of most other people Ė initially I look at the set of files that have been added, modified or deleted. Depending on the type of change it might be mostly source code or project files / package configuration. Whilst scanning the list of files Iím looking for anything thatís obviously out of place, such as a project file change when I havenít added a new class, or a source file in a namespace that I wouldnít expect to have changed that might indicate some unintended coupling. Design smells that come out of this structural review usually get logged in my notebook [3] for later consideration (the discipline of staying out of the bigger rabbit holes is a tricky one to master).
The converse is also true Ė there may be files Iíd expect to change if I changed at least one of them. For example adding a new setting to the DEV configuration probably means I need to do the same for other environments. Another is the updating of project dependencies as the version number usually causes a ripple across a couple of files such as the package configuration and project file. The same occurs at a higher level too Ė if a production code project file changes the associated test ones should too.
One mistake thatís less of an issue with modern VCS tools is accidentally checking in temporary files because now they tend to support an exclusion list (e.g. .gitignore). Before this feature you needed to be careful you didnít accidentally check-in some binary artefacts or per-user tool configuration files as it could cause very odd behaviour for your team mates. My clean script would ensure they were deleted before the review thereby side-stepping the issue, but tool upgrades and refactoring meant that the script still needed revisiting now-and-then and so Iíd still be on the lookout at this stage for files which have escaped the ignore list.
Naturally the part we are probably most interested in is reviewing the actual code. Firstly we need to ensure that what we think we changed was what we actually changed and that are no hangovers from spikes, testing, etc. I may have also commented out some code with the intention of deleting it before publication and so I need to make sure I actually did this as checking in commented out code is almost always a mistake.
In the pre-commit review Iím not looking at the code changes from the perspective of ďdoes it work, does the design make sense and does it meet the guidelinesĒ, Iím looking at it to see if the diff makes sense to the future reader. When the software archaeologist is looking back over the revision history they are often looking at the evolution of change rather than each snapshot in isolation. This is why you often hear the advice about not checking in functional and formatting style changes in the same commit Ė it makes it hard to work out what the former is if itís buried in the latter. That doesnít mean I donít care about the more traditional style of code review, itís just that I would have done all that before I even get to the commit stage.
I tend to look at diffs in two different ways depending on the change and how much I want to see of the surrounding context. The classic patch format where you only get to see the actual change and the odd line of context either side is great for simple changes where I just expect some in-place editing to have occurred. In large files this avoids all the scrolling around or navigating you might need to do as it usually fits on a single screen. Sadly many diff tools show the patch format highlighted on a per-line basis and so simple character changes can be harder to spot, but they are great for quickly eyeballing change sets you do frequently, such as updating 3rd party package versions.
The other diff view I use is the more fully featured 2-way (and 3-way for a merge) diff tool that shows the entire file with highlighting around the changes, e.g. KDiff3. I find these tend to make small intra-line changes and block movements a little more visible. When the change is a refactoring Iím often more interested in seeing all the surrounding code because if a tool is involved it will limit its scope and seeing the change in-situ often points out new inconsistencies that have resulted from the surgical precision of the tool.
Whilst Iím happy with the command line for many VCS tasks diffíing is one place where the GUI still does it for me. This includes both the structural and code reviews. Iíve found tools like TortoiseSvn (Git) or Git Extensions allow me to quickly execute different actions to clean up a change set. For example I might need to revert a few mistakes, scan the commit log of others, the odd blame here-and-there, and finally diff the lot.
Yes, you read that right, I always diff every change I commit. If that commit contains a lot of edits then itís a lot of files to diff, but I decided Iím not going to compromise on this principle because it takes time. In fact the more files in the change-set the more inclined I feel to review it thoroughly exactly because there is a greater chance of something untoward creeping in. Instead what itís taught me is that itís preferable to work on smaller units of change (which fits the modern development process nicely), but also to find an easier way to quickly review changes. The patch-style diff format presented as a single unified diff pays off handsomely here for boiler-plate changes as you can very quickly eyeball the entire set and commit it if turns out to be clean.
Even when you are doing continuous integration where you are committing incremental changes every few minutes or hours, itís still possible that a part of your overall change ends up fixing something tangential to the task at hand. I often try and use different tools or techniques when I can to exercise the codebase and tools in different ways to find those less obvious non-functional bugs. For example running a build or test script via a relative path often shows up poor assumptions about the relative path to any dependent scripts or tools. Whilst not essential to the product they are jarring and interrupt your flow.
When these kinds of minor bugs show up I like to fix them right away as long as they really are trivial, this means that the entire change set will probably include two different logical changes Ė one for the task Iím doing and the other for the bug I fixed whilst developing it. Logically they are distinct changes and therefore Iíd look to commit them separately. However this extends further than per-file changes, it may be two independent changes within the same source file. Historically youíd either have to manually split these commits out or commit them together and make it clear via the commit message that there were two different motives for the change. Luckily modern tools like Git make it possible to easily to split a single bunch of edits to one workspace into separate coherent commits.
Although cherry picking changes across branches is generally frowned upon (mind you, so is branching itself these days), this has often been down to commits being overly large and failing to adhere to the Separation of Concerns. By ensuring unrelated changes are kept committed separately you make it much easier to surgically insert a fix from one branch into another should the need ever arise.
Once Iím happy that the changes Iíve made locally complete the task at hand I then need to see whatís changed in the world around me. Working directly on the main integration branch [4] in small increments ensures that whatever has changed is likely to be quite small and therefore the chance for conflict is minimal Ė any unexpected merge should virtually always be trivial and handled automatically by the VCS tool.
Itís imperative that I pull the latest upstream changes locally first so that I can resolve any syntactic and semantic conflicts before pushing back. The former are fairly easy to spot when working with compiled languages whereas the latter are somewhat trickier and rely on failing tests for the early warning siren. Whilst I could just push my changes and let a gated build inform me of any problems I prefer to avoid context switching and so proactively integrate so that when I eventually manage to publish Iím pretty certain it wonít come back to me for remediation.
Integration is one area where the centralised and distributed VCS products differ greatly. When using a centralised VCS there was always the risk that pulling the latest changes to your workspace would invoke a complex merge which, if messed up, could cause you to corrupt your own changes. This reason alone convinced me to go back to single branch development and keep my commits small and focused. On the few occasions where the prospect of losing my work could have been expensive I would use the ďprivate branch on demandĒ feature (e.g. branch from working copy in Subversion) to create a backup in the VCS. Then Iíd update to the head and merge my private branch back in, safe in the knowledge that I could repeat it as many times as needed to resolve any conflicts. In the distributed world this kind of behaviour is inherent by the way the tool works (you commit to your private fork first) and so itís safer by default.
This in turn means you have more flexibility about how you handle any merge conflicts directly on an integration branch. In the DVCS world you can pull the latest changes and do the bare minimum to commit your changes on top of it. Then you can resolve any syntactic and semantic problems in your own time and commit them separately as fixes to the merge. At this point you then have the choice of whether to leave history intact and publish separate commits (merge + fixes) or squash them into a single change and publish it as if nothing went wrong. For me the decision of which approach to take depends heavily on whether the break was significant or not and therefore may have significance in the future too.
For example if someone just renamed a method in a refactoring then I squash as itís simply a matter of poor timing, whereas if a design change has caused the rework it means my change was based on a different view of the world and so may hide further semantic problems. Ideally every commit to an integration branch should stand on its own two feet (i.e. the build and tests pass) but when you can publish the fix at the same time as the break the observable outcome is essentially the same as so it feels acceptable to break the rules in the rare case that it happens.
In the CVCS world you do not have this luxury as what you publish to an integration branch is immediately visible, hence I might do a ďwhat if?Ē merge first to test the water and if it looks dicey spin up a private branch for safety. This way I can guarantee that Iíll only be publishing a consistent change and the private branch contains the gory details for posterity.
As I mentioned earlier I like to keep my workspace as clean as possible and therefore before integrating Iíll definitely do a ďdeep cleanĒ to ensure that the subsequent build that follows the integration is as close to the build machineís as possible. This means that Iíll ensure all transient files in the workspace are removed, e.g. cached NuGet and Node packages, as I want the best chance possible that any problem is strictly down to the integration itself and not some stray environmental issue caused by detritus.
In essence in a Git based project this boils down to the following one-liner:
> call Clean --all && git pull --rebase && call Build
With the set of changes reviewed and integrated the last big hurdle is to document them. When committing I need to provide a message that tells my future readers something about the change that will enlighten them to its purpose. The same is true of any comment, the writer needs to avoid saying what the code (and diff) already says and to instead focus on the rationale Ė the why.
Itís not quite as black & white as that though because trawling through the revisions trying to find related changes is much better with some tools than others. For example the ďannotateĒ feature (or in its more witch-hunt friendly guise Ė blame) makes it easier to walk the history of a single file using the code itself for navigation. However if youíre using a lesser tool or doing some archaeology around a wider change then the commit message can become more significant in tracking down ďan interesting set of changesĒ.
Hence it helps if the message is broken into (at least) two sections Ė a short summary and then a more detailed explanation. The summary should be short, ideally fitting a single line of text, so that when you are scanning the list of recent commits that one line tells you in an instant what itís about. Curiously there appears to be some disagreement about which tense you should write your message in but Iíve always found the past tense perfectly adequate. Fortunately this two-part format has been brought to prominence by the likes of Git and so itís becoming the norm.
The start of any commit message I write nearly always contains some kind of reference to the feature Iím working on. For example if the user stories are being tracked in an enterprise tool like JIRA then Iíll put the ticket number in, e.g. ď#PRJ-1234Ē. Once again somewhat fortuitously this practice has been adopted by other tools like GitHub as a way to link an issue with a commit. Linking the commit in this way means that I probably have less to document because much of commentary and rationale will already be in another tool.
Even if the project is not using a formal feature tracking tool, e.g. just a Trello board with simple task descriptions, Iíll still use the card number as a message prefix [5]. This is because committing a feature in small chunks makes the set of related commits harder to find. Sometimes the team will review a change after itís already been committed and so the reference number makes it much easier to find all the related changes for the feature. If a change doesnít have a reference then it should be something so trivial as to be easily discernible from the one-line summary alone.
Naturally the body of the commit message will contain further details about why the change was made. If itís an informal bug fix it might contain the basic problem, if a new feature then a bit about what support was added, and if itís tidying up then why the code is now redundant.  Whilst itís great if you can pick any arbitrary revision and expect it to be self-consistent there are occasionally times when we have to check-in partial changes or changes that may not strictly work due to some environmental concerns. In these cases the extra note helps the reader know that there are dragons lurking and therefore they should look further afield to find where they were eventually slayed.
Once again I personally find a UI advantageous for this part of the task, not least because it normally contains a spell checker to ensure that the basic text has no obvious typos. Whilst itís not an everyday occurrence searching the commit messages for a particular word, or phrase, it is useful and so it helps enormously if you do not have to compensate for spelling mistakes. A modern commit dialog also tends to be aware of the folders, files and even the source code that has changed and so can provide auto-completion of terms that might be relevant, such as the name of a method that was edited.
One thing I do miss about working with a CVCS is that you can often still edit a commit message after the fact. With a DVCS the message is part of the immutable chain of revisions and therefore attempting to fix it leads you into the kind of murky waters that you really want to avoid. If the changes only exist as local commits you still have time to make the correction, but once itís published you pretty much just have to live with it.
Phew! After all those considerations itís finally time to unleash my handiwork on the world at large. If Iím on Git then Iíll do the final push, whereas with Subversion or TFS it will have happened when I hit ďOKĒ on the commit dialog. Either way the change is done, so barring any unforeseen weirdness shown up by the build pipeline, itís time pick another task and go round the development loop once more.

This file contains documentation for samples from the CALLHOME Japanese collection, Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC) catalog numbers LDC96S37 (speech) and LDC96T18 (transcripts) and isbns 1-58563-077-2 and 1-58563-078-0, respectively.
CALLHOME Japanese telephone speech was collected and transcribed by LDC primarily in support of the Large Vocabulary Conversational Speech Recognition (LVCSR) project sponsored by the U.S. Department of Defense. It consists of 120 unscripted telephone conversations between native Japanese speakers. All speakers (callers and recipients) were aware that they were being recorded and were not restricted in their choice of conversation topics. Once a caller was recruited to participate in the collection, he/she was given a free choice of whom to call. Most participants called family members or close friends overseas. All calls originated in North America. The transcripts are timestamped by speaker turn for alignment with the speech signal and are provided in standard orthography.
Speakers were solicited by LDC through personal contacts and the internet. A total of 200 call originators were enrolled, each of whom placed a telephone call via a toll-free robot operator maintained originally by Rutgers University, and later by LDC. Access to the robot operator was possible via a unique Personal Identification Number (PIN) issued by the recruiting staff at Rutgers or LDC when the caller enrolled in the project. Each caller placed one telephone call and spoke for up to 30 minutes. After a successful call was completed, a human audit was conducted to verify that the proper language was spoken, to check the quality of the recording, and to select and describe the region to be transcribed. The description of the transcribed region provides information about channel quality, number of speakers, speaker gender, and other attributes.
Presented here are three approximate two-minute call samples and their associated transcripts. The audio files in the full corpus are in NIST Sphere format; the format for the audio samples is MS Wav format (.wav). The transcripts are encoded in EUC character encoding. To esnure compatibility, the transcripts are presented as both PDF and raw text.

As expected, the weather becomes significantly warmer as one approaches the equator (0 Deg. Latitude). More interestingly, however, is the fact that the southern hemisphere tends to be warmer this time of year that the northern hemisphere. This may be due to the tilt of the earth at the time of the year this was gathered.

GroupLayout
layout manager combined with a builder tool to lay out your GUI. One such builder tool is the
NetBeans IDE. Otherwise, if you want to code by hand and do not want to use GroupLayout
, then GridBagLayout
is recommended as the next most flexible and powerful layout manager.
BoxLayout
. BoxLayout
either stacks its components
on top of each other
or places them in a row —
your choice.
You might think of it as a version of
FlowLayout
, but with greater functionality.
Here is a picture of an application
that demonstrates using BoxLayout
to display a centered column of components:
You can see the code in
BoxLayoutDemo.java
.
The following figure shows a GUI
that uses two instances of BoxLayout
.
In the top part of the GUI,
a top-to-bottom box layout
places a label above a scroll pane.
In the bottom part of the GUI,
a left-to-right box layout
places two buttons next to each other.
A BorderLayout
combines the two parts of the GUI
and ensures that any excess space
is given to the scroll pane.
The following code,
taken from
, lays out the GUI.
This code is in the constructor for the dialog,
which is implemented as a ListDialog.java
JDialog
subclass.
The bold lines of code
set up the box layouts
and add components to them.
JScrollPane listScroller = new JScrollPane(list); listScroller.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(250, 80)); listScroller.setAlignmentX(LEFT_ALIGNMENT); ... //Lay out the label and scroll pane from top to bottom. JPanel listPane = new JPanel(); listPane.setLayout(new BoxLayout(listPane, BoxLayout.PAGE_AXIS)); JLabel label = new JLabel(labelText); ... listPane.add(label); listPane.add(Box.createRigidArea(new Dimension(0,5))); listPane.add(listScroller); listPane.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(10,10,10,10)); //Lay out the buttons from left to right. JPanel buttonPane = new JPanel(); buttonPane.setLayout(new BoxLayout(buttonPane, BoxLayout.LINE_AXIS)); buttonPane.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(0, 10, 10, 10)); buttonPane.add(Box.createHorizontalGlue()); buttonPane.add(cancelButton); buttonPane.add(Box.createRigidArea(new Dimension(10, 0))); buttonPane.add(setButton); //Put everything together, using the content pane's BorderLayout. Container contentPane = getContentPane(); contentPane.add(listPane, BorderLayout.CENTER); contentPane.add(buttonPane, BorderLayout.PAGE_END);
The first bold line creates a top-to-bottom box layout
and sets it up as the layout manager for listPane
.
The two arguments to the BoxLayout
constructor
are the container that it manages
and the axis along which the components will be laid out. The PAGE_AXIS
constant specifies that components should be laid out in the direction that lines flow across a page as determined by the target container's ComponentOrientation
property. The LINE_AXIS
constant specifies that components should be laid out in the direction of a line of text as determined by the target container's ComponentOrientation
property. These constants allow for internationalization, by laying out components in their container with the correct left-to-right, right-to-left or top-to-bottom orientation for the language being used.
The next three bold lines add the label and scroll pane to the container, separating them with a rigid area — an invisible component used to add space between components. In this case, the rigid area has no width and puts exactly 5 pixels between the label and scroll pane. Rigid areas are discussed later, in Using Invisible Components as Filler.
The next chunk of bold code
creates a left-to-right box layout
and sets it up for the buttonPane
container.
Then the code adds two buttons to the container,
using a rigid area to put 10 pixels
between the buttons.
To place the buttons at the right side of their container,
the first component added to the container is glue.
This glue is an invisible component
that grows as necessary to absorb any extra space in its container.
Glue is discussed in
Using Invisible Components as Filler.
As an alternative to using invisible components, you can sometimes use empty borders to create space around components, most particularly panels. For example, the preceding code snippet uses empty borders to put 10 pixels between all sides of the dialog and its contents, and between the two parts of the contents. Borders are completely independent of layout managers. They are simply how Swing components draw their edges and provide padding between the content of the component and the edge. See How to Use Borders for more information.
The following sections discuss BoxLayout
in more detail:
BoxLayout
discussion
scare you!
You can probably use BoxLayout
with the information you already have.
If you run into trouble or you want to take advantage of
BoxLayout
's power,
read on.
BoxLayout
arranges components either
on top of each other
or in a row.
As the box layout arranges components,
it takes the components'
alignments and minimum, preferred, and maximum sizes into account.
In this section, we will talk about top-to-bottom layout.
The same concepts apply to left-to-right or right-to-left layout.
You simply substitute X for Y,
height for width, and so on.
X_AXIS
(left to right)
or Y_AXIS
(top to bottom)
when creating the BoxLayout
.
Our examples now use the constants
LINE_AXIS
and PAGE_AXIS
,
which are preferred
because they enable programs to adjust
to languages that have different orientations.
In the default, left-to-right orientation,
LINE_AXIS
specifies left-to-right layout
and PAGE_AXIS
specifies top-to-bottom layout.
When a BoxLayout
lays out components
from top to bottom,
it tries to size each component at the component's preferred height.
If the vertical space of the layout does not match the sum of the preferred heights, then BoxLayout
tries to resize the components to fill the space. The components either grow or shrink to fill the space, with BoxLayout
honoring the minimum and maximum sizes of each of the components. Any extra space appears at the bottom of the container.
For a top-to-bottom box layout, the preferred width of the container is that of the maximum preferred width of the children. If the container is forced to be wider than that, BoxLayout
attempts to size the width of each component to that of the container's width (minus insets). If the maximum size of a component is smaller than the width of the container, then X alignment comes into play.
The X alignments affect not only the components' positions relative to each other, but also the location of the components (as a group) within their container. The following figures illustrate alignment of components that have restricted maximum widths.
In the first figure, all three components have an X alignment
of 0.0 (Component.LEFT_ALIGNMENT
).
This means that the components' left sides
should be aligned.
Furthermore, it means that all three components are positioned
as far left in their container as possible.
In the second figure,
all three components have an X alignment
of 0.5 (Component.CENTER_ALIGNMENT
).
This means that the components' centers
should be aligned,
and that the components should be positioned
in the horizontal center of their container.
In the third figure,
the components have an X alignment
of 1.0 (Component.RIGHT_ALIGNMENT
).
You can guess what that means for the components'
alignment and position relative to their container.
You might be wondering what happens when the components have both restricted maximum sizes and different X alignments. The next figure shows an example of this:
As you can see, the left side of the component
with an X alignment of 0.0
(Component.LEFT_ALIGNMENT
)
is aligned with the center of the component
that has the 0.5 X alignment
(Component.CENTER_ALIGNMENT
),
which is aligned with
the right side of the component
that has an X alignment of 1.0
(Component.RIGHT_ALIGNMENT
).
Mixed alignments like this are further discussed in
Fixing Alignment Problems.
What if none of the components has a maximum width? In this case, if all the components have identical X alignment, then all components are made as wide as their container. If the X alignments are different, then any component with an X alignment of 0.0 (left) or 1.0 (right) will be smaller. All components with an intermediate X alignment (such as center) will be as wide as their container. Here are two examples:
To get to know
BoxLayout
better,
you can run your own experiments with BoxLayoutDemo2.
You can see the code in
BoxLayoutDemo2.java
.
You will see a window like the one above that contains three
rectangles. Each rectangle is an instance of BLDComponent
,
which is a JComponent
subclass.
JPanel
that has
a red outline, so that you can tell where the container's
edges are.
Box
class.
The
Box
class defines a nested class,
Box.Filler
, that is a transparent component that paints nothing, and is used to provide space between other components. However, Filler
is not actually invisible, because setVisible(false)
is not invoked.
The Box
class
provides convenience methods
to help you create common kinds of filler.
The following table gives details about
creating invisible components with Box
and
Box.Filler
.
| Type | Size Constraints | How to Create |
|---|---|---|
| rigid area |
|
Box.createRigidArea(size) |
| glue, horizontal |
|
Box.createHorizontalGlue() |
| glue, vertical |
|
Box.createVerticalGlue() |
custom Box.Filler |
(as specified) | new Box.Filler(minSize,
prefSize, maxSize) |
Here is how you generally use each type of filler:
container.add(firstComponent); container.add(Box.createRigidArea(new Dimension(5,0))); container.add(secondComponent);
Note:
The Box
class provides another kind of filler
for putting fixed space between components: a
vertical or horizontal strut.
Unfortunately, struts have unlimited maximum heights or widths
(for horizontal and vertical struts, respectively).
This means that if you use a horizontal box within a vertical box,
for example,
the horizontal box can sometimes become too tall.
For this reason,
we recommend that you use rigid areas instead of struts.
container.add(firstComponent); container.add(Box.createHorizontalGlue()); container.add(secondComponent);
Box.Filler
container.add(firstComponent); Dimension minSize = new Dimension(5, 100); Dimension prefSize = new Dimension(5, 100); Dimension maxSize = new Dimension(Short.MAX_VALUE, 100); container.add(new Box.Filler(minSize, prefSize, maxSize)); container.add(secondComponent);
BoxLayout
:
BoxLayout
have different default alignments,
which causes them to be mis-aligned.
For example, as the following shows,
if a label and a panel
are in a top-to-bottom box layout,
the label's left edge is, by default,
aligned with the center of the panel.
In general, all the components
controlled by a top-to-bottom BoxLayout
object
should have the same X alignment.
Similarly,
all the components controlled by a left-to-right Boxlayout
should generally have the same Y alignment.
You can set a JComponent
's X alignment
by invoking its setAlignmentX
method.
An alternative available to all components is to override the
getAlignmentX
method
in a custom subclass of the component class.
Similarly, you set the Y alignment of a component
by invoking the setAlignmentY
method
or by overriding getAlignmentY
.
Here is an example, taken from an application called
BoxAlignmentDemo
,
of changing the Y alignments of two buttons
so that the bottoms of the buttons are aligned:
button1.setAlignmentY(Component.BOTTOM_ALIGNMENT); button2.setAlignmentY(Component.BOTTOM_ALIGNMENT);
Click the Launch button to run BoxAlignmentDemo using Java™ Web Start (download JDK 6). Alternatively, to compile and run the example yourself, consult the example index.
By default, most components have center X and Y alignment.
However, buttons, combo boxes, labels, and menu items
have a different default X alignment value:
LEFT_ALIGNMENT
.
The previous picture shows what happens
if you put a left-aligned component such as a label
together with a center-aligned component
in a container controlled by a top-to-bottom BoxLayout
.
The BoxAlignmentDemo
program gives examples of fixing mismatched alignment problems.
Usually, it is as simple
as making an offending button or label
be center aligned.
For example:
label.setAlignmentX(Component.CENTER_ALIGNMENT);
As mentioned before,
BoxLayout
pays attention
to a component's requested minimum, preferred, and maximum sizes.
While you are fine-tuning the layout,
you might need to adjust these sizes.
Sometimes the need to adjust the size is obvious. For example, a button's maximum size is generally the same as its preferred size. If you want the button to be drawn wider when additional space is available, then you need to change its maximum size.
Sometimes, however, the need to adjust size is not so obvious. You might be getting unexpected results with a box layout, and you might not know why. In this case, it is usually best to treat the problem as an alignment problem first. If adjusting the alignments does not help, then you might have a size problem. We'll discuss this further a bit later.
BoxLayout
pays attention to
a component's maximum size,
many layout managers do not.
For example, if you put a button
in the bottom part of a BorderLayout
,
the button will probably be wider than its preferred width,
no matter what the button's maximum size is.
BoxLayout
, on the other hand,
never makes a button wider than its maximum size.
You can change the minimum, preferred, and maximum sizes in two ways:
setXxxSize
method
(which is defined by the JComponent
class).
For example:
comp.setMinimumSize(new Dimension(50, 25)); comp.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(50, 25)); comp.setMaximumSize(new Dimension(Short.MAX_VALUE, Short.MAX_VALUE));
getXxxSize
method.
For example:
...//in a subclass of a component class: public Dimension getMaximumSize() { size = getPreferredSize(); size.width = Short.MAX_VALUE; return size; }
If you are running into trouble with a box layout and you have ruled out alignment problems, then the trouble might well be size-related. For example, if the container controlled by the box layout is taking up too much space, then one or more of the components in the container probably needs to have its maximum size restricted.
You can use two techniques to track down size trouble in a box layout:
comp.setBorder(BorderFactory.createCompoundBorder( BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.red), comp.getBorder()));
System.out.println
to print the components' minimum, preferred, and maximum
sizes, and perhaps their bounds.
The following tables list the commonly used
BoxLayout
and
Box
constructors and methods.
The API for using box layouts falls into these categories:
| Constructor or Method | Purpose |
|---|---|
BoxLayout(Container, int) |
Creates a BoxLayout instance
that controls the specified Container .
The integer argument specifies the axis
along which the container's components
should be laid out.
When the container has the default component orientation,
BoxLayout.LINE_AXIS
specifies that the components be laid out
from left to right,
and BoxLayout.PAGE_AXIS
specifies that the components be laid out
from top to bottom.
|
Box(int) |
Creates a Box — a container
that uses a BoxLayout
with the specified axis.
As of release 1.3,
Box extends JComponent .
Before that,
it was implemented as a subclass of Container .
|
static Box createHorizontalBox()
(in Box ) |
Creates a Box that lays out its components
from left to right. |
static Box createVerticalBox()
(in Box ) |
Creates a Box that lays out its components from top to bottom. |
| Constructor or Method | Purpose |
|---|---|
Component createRigidArea(Dimension) |
Create a rigid component. |
Component createHorizontalGlue()
|
Create a glue component. Horizontal glue and vertical glue can be very useful. |
Component createHorizontalStrut()
|
Create a "strut" component. We recommend using rigid areas instead of struts. |
Box.Filler(Dimension, Dimension,
Dimension) |
Creates a component with the specified
minimum, preferred, and maximum sizes
(with the arguments specified in that order).
See the
custom Box.Filler
discussion,
earlier in this section, for details.
|
| Method | Purpose |
|---|---|
void changeShape(Dimension, Dimension,
Dimension) (in Box.Filler )
|
Change the minimum, preferred, and maximum sizes
of the recipient Box.Filler object.
The layout changes accordingly.
|
| Example | Where Described | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| BoxLayoutDemo2 | This page | Uses a box layout to create a centered column of components. |
| BoxAlignmentDemo | This page | Demonstrates how to fix common alignment problems. |
| BoxLayoutDemo | This page | Lets you play with alignments and maximum sizes. |
| ListDialog | This page | A simple yet realistic example of using both a top-to-bottom box layout and a left-to-right one. Uses horizontal glue, rigid areas, and empty borders. Also sets the X alignment of a component. |
| InternalFrameEventDemo | How to Write an Internal Frame Listener | Uses a top-to-bottom layout to center buttons and a scroll pane in an internal frame. |
| MenuGlueDemo | Customizing Menu Layout | Shows how to right-align a menu in the menu bar, using a glue component. |
| MenuLayoutDemo | Customizing Menu Layout | Shows how to customize menu layout by changing the menu bar to use a top-to-bottom box layout, and the popup menu to use a left-to-right box layout. |
ConversionPanel.java in the
Converter demo
|
How to Use Panels | Aligns two components in different box-layout-controlled containers by setting the components' widths to be the same, and their containers' widths to be the same. |


Mouse over the rectangle above left, and get the coordinates of your mouse pointer displayed in the neighboring rectangle.
When the mouse is moved over the div, the p element will display the horizontal and vertical coordinates of your mouse pointer, whose values are returned from the clientX and clientY properties on the MouseEvent object.
When the mouse is moved out of the div (onmouseout), the div element will display some text.
When the mouse is clicked within the div, the horizontal and vertical coordinates of your mouse pointer, whose values are returned from the clientX and clientY properties on the MouseEvent object are stored as a string value and the function adds a line to the top of the list of coordinates.

Actor DSL
The Actor DSL
Simple actors—for example one-off workers or even when trying things out in the REPL—can be created more concisely using the Act trait. The supporting infrastructure is bundled in the following import:
import akka.actor.ActorDSL._
import akka.actor.ActorSystem
implicit val system = ActorSystem("demo")
This import is assumed for all code samples throughout this section. The implicit actor system serves as ActorRefFactory for all examples below. To define a simple actor, the following is sufficient:
val a = actor(new Act {
become {
case "hello" ⇒ sender() ! "hi"
}
})
Here, actor takes the role of either system.actorOf or context.actorOf, depending on which context it is called in: it takes an implicit ActorRefFactory, which within an actor is available in the form of the implicit val context: ActorContext. Outside of an actor, you’ll have to either declare an implicit ActorSystem, or you can give the factory explicitly (see further below).
The two possible ways of issuing a context.become (replacing or adding the new behavior) are offered separately to enable a clutter-free notation of nested receives:
val a = actor(new Act {
become { // this will replace the initial (empty) behavior
case "info" ⇒ sender() ! "A"
case "switch" ⇒
becomeStacked { // this will stack upon the "A" behavior
case "info" ⇒ sender() ! "B"
case "switch" ⇒ unbecome() // return to the "A" behavior
}
case "lobotomize" ⇒ unbecome() // OH NOES: Actor.emptyBehavior
}
})
Please note that calling unbecome more often than becomeStacked results in the original behavior being installed, which in case of the Act trait is the empty behavior (the outer become just replaces it during construction).
Life-cycle management
Life-cycle hooks are also exposed as DSL elements (see Start Hook and Stop Hook), where later invocations of the methods shown below will replace the contents of the respective hooks:
val a = actor(new Act {
whenStarting { testActor ! "started" }
whenStopping { testActor ! "stopped" }
})
The above is enough if the logical life-cycle of the actor matches the restart cycles (i.e. whenStopping is executed before a restart and whenStarting afterwards). If that is not desired, use the following two hooks (see Restart Hooks):
val a = actor(new Act {
become {
case "die" ⇒ throw new Exception
}
whenFailing { case m @ (cause, msg) ⇒ testActor ! m }
whenRestarted { cause ⇒ testActor ! cause }
})
It is also possible to create nested actors, i.e. grand-children, like this:
// here we pass in the ActorRefFactory explicitly as an example
val a = actor(system, "fred")(new Act {
val b = actor("barney")(new Act {
whenStarting { context.parent ! ("hello from " + self.path) }
})
become {
case x ⇒ testActor ! x
}
})
Note
In some cases it will be necessary to explicitly pass the ActorRefFactory to the actor method (you will notice when the compiler tells you about ambiguous implicits).
The grand-child will be supervised by the child; the supervisor strategy for this relationship can also be configured using a DSL element (supervision directives are part of the Act trait):
superviseWith(OneForOneStrategy() {
case e: Exception if e.getMessage == "hello" ⇒ Stop
case _: Exception ⇒ Resume
})
Actor with Stash
Last but not least there is a little bit of convenience magic built-in, which detects if the runtime class of the statically given actor subtype extends the RequiresMessageQueue trait via the Stash trait (this is a complicated way of saying that new Act with Stash would not work because its runtime erased type is just an anonymous subtype of Act). The purpose is to automatically use the appropriate deque-based mailbox type required by Stash. If you want to use this magic, simply extend ActWithStash:
val a = actor(new ActWithStash {
become {
case 1 ⇒ stash()
case 2 ⇒
testActor ! 2; unstashAll(); becomeStacked {
case 1 ⇒ testActor ! 1; unbecome()
}
}
})

Still figuring that out, however I write a lot of code and focus on learning web application development every day. I take the position of a student no matter how much I learn. I find JavaScript to be my language of choice because of the wonderful user experience it can create in the web browser and the scalability it has on the server side with Node.js. I'm also equipped with a Zend PHP 5.0 certificate, and 3 years of SEO experience in Atlanta.
I work at Home Depot writing business validations in JavaScript. At night I create web applications focusing on scalability, clean UI, clear UX, and some really cool frameworks.

First off, I apologize for not being able to provide a detailed, step-by-step, timed account of my experience, as my memory of the time is hazy and the many notes I scribbled on little post-its are quite unintelligible, testimony to fly agaric's mind-scrambling power.
FYI, I've had experience with caffeine, alcohol, MJ, ephedrine, yohimbine, kava, valerian, wormwood, tobacco, DXM, salvia, and blue lotus. Amanita was unlike any of the above, though I noticed limited similarities w/ DXM and ephedrine; in fact, this shroom gave me the most powerful experience yet!
The amanita was dried, A-grade from WA state, ordered from a web-based seller. I consumed a bright red-skinned, bread-plate sized cap and a few smaller fragments, which I estimated to be 8 to 10 grams out of the 14g package; I ate no stems. The shroom was easy to take down, as it tasted like chicken, was soft, and [surprisingly] produced no physical discomfort whatsoever (I wish it did, so I wouldn't have eaten so much :-P).  People aren't kidding when they tell you to start small!]
I ate the amanita around 12:30 PM in my college dorm, having finished the day's classes, feeling 'ok' besides having minor drainage due to a receding cold, and under the influence of caffeine and nicotine alone. I had eaten a small meal around 10:30 AM. The first, brief* (see below) phase of effects began between 1:00-1:30, abruptly changed thereafter and gradually strengthened until it peaked around 4:45, then plateaued until around 6:15, gradually fading-out thereafter. I was sensible enough to leave the dorm at 8:00 to eat with friends, though mild after-effects [weird-head feeling] were still around when I got to bed at ~1:00 AM. [NOTE: do not eat amanita if you have responsibilities to attend to, which I didn't]
(Effects below in rough, chronological order of appearance)
PHASE ONE:
*persistent after-images, such as those created by staring at the computer screen and quickly looking away.
*active, noticeable hypnagogia (I see these naturally, high 'activity' is a sign of sedative or hallucinogen presence for me)
*stared-at objects seemed to shift around slightly
*pronounced sedation, which made me attempt to take a nap
*ceiling seemed to shift up slowly, then down slowly (double-image over actual) as I stared at it
PHASE TWO:
*pronounced wakefulness, stimulation (this foiled my attempt to nap w/in 10 minutes of lying down)
*basic, fever-class delirium (irrational thought which I recognized as being wrong, which I kept thinking anyways)
*powerful, full-body analgesia. I felt almost no pain, some nerve-desensitization. This property makes me buy the berserker-amanita theory. I walked about VERY carefully.
*racing, 'pulsing-fragmentary' mental process. My mind seemed to have sped up greatly, going in series of three rapid and repeating 'pulses,' split-second appearances of geometric, nonsense images in my 'mind's eye' that were not actually seen; each pulse was accompanied by an undiscribeable change in head-feeling.
*delirium like never before, which gave me the impression that I had 'two minds,' a delerious one and a sane one, which tried to push-around the delerious one in order to be productive and keep a cool demeanor (my 'inner sitter'). I managed to confine myself to the dorm, bathroom, and a friend's room, though I almost walked into the wrong rooms twice.
*lack of attention-span and inability to write coherently. Talking was easy, though I was occasionally at loss for words and I had difficulty relating ideas to words around the peak. Most basic activities required concentration.
*3-pulse 'inner beat' shortened to slower 2-pulse scheme. former images replaced by a field of hypnagogic 'swirlies' that shifted from swirling left to right, then back, with each pulse (~1 second).
*exceptionally good physical state, w/o feelings of hunger, thirst, fatigue, nausea, aching, or congestion. I did not notice pronounced salivation or perspiration. I drank water frequently out of precaution. 'bathroom' stimuli muffled, though apparent and answered with a BR trip consistently. [body good, mind icky]
*some emotional 'distancing'/'disassociation', feeling of being 'out there.' However, I still retained some humor and could socialize fine. Watching a friend play computer games kept my attention occupied for awhile. Lack of engaging, external stimuli in my dorm led to periods of boredom during which 4 minutes seemed like 20.
LAST ENTHUSIASTIC THOUGHT: 'this is what DXM should be!'
PEAK AND DECLINE:
*feeling that world was spinning vertically; did not make me dizzy or nausous.
*marked speed-up of 2-step 'inner beats'
*feeling of pulsing, inner-energy (no tachyardia)
*increased mental-skill debilitation (as above)
*strong delirium persisted, though distinct, nutty thoughts not evident (as they were for a couple hours prior). Briefly 'vegatized' me to the point of dumbly staring at the computer screen and doing nothing.
*pronounced introspection of the petty sort (noting how nutty I was and prodding myself to do something)
*continual desire for experience to end
*gradual return of attention-span, writing ability
*gradual decline of body-effects; pain/fatigue back
*quick disappearance of delerial images
*gradual return to normal mind-set, head-feeling.
*slept ok, felt 'ordinary' the next day
In summary, I underestimated the shroom's potency and got a weird, mildly-disturbing trip of the type I'll try to avoid in the future. Thankfully, the bodily ills that afflict many agaric-eaters did not affect me. I plan to smoke agaric in the future, and maybe eat smaller quantities. Tales of this shroom being deadly are horsesh*t, but it must be treated with utmost respect.

Hi ! I asked a few month ago (October 4th) what propagation the cumulative constraint did (*Mikael Zayenz Lagerkvist answered me that it did not very much). Does it do more now ? Could someone indicate me a paper describing the state of the art in this domain ? Cheers, Jérémie Vautard *


Chase Young, Micah Parsons Got Into It At Halftime Of Ohio State vs. Penn State
by Matt LombardiAbout an hour before kickoff at Saturday’s Ohio State vs. Penn State matchup, players on both sides were seen jawing at midfield in anticipation of the contest. It doesn’t look like they’ve calmed down after one half of football.
FOX just aired video of Ohio State’s Chase Young and Penn State’s Micah Parsons going back-and-forth as the two teams headed to the tunnel for halftime. It looks like it was shut down before it got physical.
Young has been a monster for Ohio State thus far. The Buckeyes are shutting out the Nittany Lions to the tune of a 14-0 score.
Here’s footage, via Eleven Warriors:
Ohio State running back J.K. Dobbins has rushed for 89 yards and scored twice. Buckeyes quarterback Justin Fields fumbled on the goal line too, so the score could be worse if you’re a Nittany Lions fan.
Penn State quarterback Sean Clifford is just 8-of-15 for 53 yards. He’ll need to perform better in the second half if the Nittany Lions are to stage a comeback.
The second half is about to begin. Ohio State can win the Big Ten East with another solid half of football.

1 My spirit is consumed, and my days are over;
the grave is ready for me.
2 Surely there are mockers with me;
my eye must always see their provocation.
3 Give now a pledge, be a guarantee for me with yourself;
who else is there who will help me?
4 For you, God, have kept their hearts from understanding;
therefore, you will not exalt them over me.
5 He who denounces his friends for a reward,
the eyes of his children will fail.
6 But he has made me a byword of the people;
they spit in my face.
7 My eye is also dim because of sorrow;
all my body parts are as thin as shadows.
8 Upright men will be stunned by this;
the innocent man will stir himself up against godless men.
9 The righteous man will keep to his way;
he who has clean hands will grow stronger and stronger.
10 But as for you all, come on now;
I will not find a wise man among you.
11 My days are past, my plans are over,
even the wishes of my heart.
12 These people, these mockers, change the night into day;
the light, they say, is near to the darkness.
13 Since I look at sheol as my home;
since I have spread my couch in the darkness;
14 since I have said to the pit, 'You are my father,'
and to the worm, 'You are my mother or my sister,'
15 where then is my hope?
As for my hope, who can see any?
16 Will hope go down with me to the gates of sheol
when we descend to the dust?"

Last month I solved a problem World Bicycle Relief was struggling with for a long time – integrating all of our international donation feeds into one single feed to show the impact with a campaign.
Generally when we launch a campaign, it starts as a US initiative and gradually changes into an international initiative that accepts currencies throughout Europe. We’d had now way to show that until now.
The landing page is here: https://worldbicyclerelief.org/en/cyclofemme/ The technologies used on the page are:
The code looks like this. When it runs, it loops into each individual JSON endpoint and pulls the funds raised. We then divide this number by the amount of bikes this produces for each currency. This number is populated on the page. The final step is taking this number and running it up to a grand total.

Basketball: Kawhi's Clippers struggle but beat NBA champion Raptors
LOS ANGELES: Kawhi Leonard endured a difficult night against the club he led to an NBA title but his Los Angeles Clippers surged late on Monday (Nov 11) to beat reigning champion Toronto Raptors 98-88.
The Clippers grinded defensively through the fourth quarter, allowing Toronto only 10 points in the final period as the Raptors missed six of their first seven shots while Lou Williams came off the LA bench for a game-high 21 points.
"Just compete on the defensive end, contest their shots and get back on transition," Leonard said as the secret for the Clippers' late success.
Leonard had 12 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists but shot only 2-of-11 from the floor and 0-of-4 from three-point range.
"That's what a championship team is about," Leonard said. "When your star is not making shots, they step up and pull it out. That's what it's all about."
Leonard was the NBA Finals Most Valuable Player for Toronto in June when he sparked the Raptors over Golden State in the best-of-seven championship series, but he departed for his hometown Clippers in July.
"It was fun to compete against them," Leonard said, calling the experience emotional but keeping his trademark composure.
"We had a fun ride last year. On and off the court we had fun."
CELTICS EXTEND STREAK
Pascal Siakam led the Raptors with 16 points and 10 rebounds while shooting 6-of-17 from the floor.
The Raptors, without injured Kyle Lowry, lost forward O.G. Anunoby to injury after only two minutes on the court.
Boston guard Kemba Walker scored 29 points before leaving late in the game with an injury, leading the host Celtics over Dallas 116-106.
Celtics coach Brad Stevens called the setback "a little whiplash" and did not expect it was serious.
Jaylen Brown added 25 points and 11 rebounds, his second consecutive double double, on a night when Jayson Tatum went 1-for-18 from the floor and Luka Doncic led Dallas with 34 points.
"I'm just trying to keep winning, whatever I've got to do," Brown said.
"We wanted to be aggressive defensively. We did a pretty good job. Luka Doncic picked us apart but other than that we did a really good job, They can't all be pretty but we got the job done."
The Mavericks (6-4) suffered their first road loss this season while the Celtics improved to an NBA-best 8-1 and stretched their win streak to eight games after an opening night loss to Philadelphia.
HARDEN BEST SINCE '67
NBA scoring leader James Harden netted 39 points and Russell Westbrook added 26 to lead the Houston Rockets to a 122-116 victory at New Orleans.
With 373 points in 10 games, Harden becomes the first player to score so many so quickly into an NBA season since Rick Barry had 381 in 1967. The only player ever with more was 1960s icon Wilt Chamberlain.
Clint Capela had 11 points and 20 rebounds for the Rockets while J.J. Redick led the Pelicans with 24 points.
Jaren Jackson scored 24 points, Dillon Brooks added 21 and Jonas Valanciunas contributed 18 points and 12 rebounds to power Memphis over host San Antonio 113-109 on the night the Spurs retired Tony Parker's number nine jersey.
"We will be together forever," the Frenchman told his former teammates in a post-game ceremony.
Andrew Wiggins scored 33 points and Karl-Anthony Towns added 25 points and team-highs of eight rebounds and six assists to lead the Minnesota Timberwolves over host Detroit 120-114.
Blake Griffin made his season debut for Detroit after left knee surgery and a hamstring injury, producing 19 points on 6-of-12 shooting with seven rebounds and five assists over 24 minutes.
French star center Rudy Gobert scored 25 points to lead seven Utah players in double figures as the Jazz won 122-108 at Golden State, which fell to an NBA-worst 2-9.

Debian Package installation guide¶
PaddlePaddle supports deb
pacakge. The installation of this deb
package is tested in ubuntu 14.04, but it should be support other debian based linux, too.
There are four versions of debian package, cpu
, gpu
, cpu-noavx
, gpu-noavx
. And noavx
version is used to support CPU which does not contain AVX
instructions. The download url of deb
package is : https://github.com/baidu/Paddle/releases/
After downloading PaddlePaddle deb packages, you can use gdebi
install.
gdebi paddle-*.deb
If gdebi
is not installed, you can use sudo apt-get install gdebi
to install it.
Or you can use following commands to install PaddlePaddle.
dpkg -i paddle-*.deb
apt-get install -f
And if you use GPU version deb package, you need to install CUDA toolkit and cuDNN, and set related environment variables(such as LD_LIBRARY_PATH) first. It is normal when dpkg -i get errors. apt-get install -f will continue install paddle, and install dependences.


This map represents daily-averaged ocean surface currents blended from forecast models run by US Integrated Ocean Observing System partners.
This map uses the copyrighted technology developed by Fernanda Viegas and Martin Wattenberg (
hint.fm) for their stunning
wind map application. They have graciously allowed us to show visualization of ocean currents here until license issues are resolved.
If you are interested in the details of the data sources, the Python script that acquires the data from OPeNDAP servers is
here.
Your feedback and inquiries are most welcome. Please send us an email:
