Xilent is a widely respected dubstep artist exploding onto the music scene in 2011 with his song "Choose Me II" following with "Beyond", and another hit "Boss wave" pushing Xilent to become known for his EDM and dubstep ability. Then in 2015 he released his debut alum We Are Virtual which met support and was well recied with fans and critics alike. In the years following Xilent started streaming on twitch showing his audience skills and techniquences needed to produce high quality content, and while doing this he still made songs but in scarcity. In 2019 Xilent signed onto Monstercat gearing to release another album called We Are Dust, a continuation of the story We Are Virtual set up.
We Are Virtual is the first album Xilent released with a recording studio instead of singles. Backed by Audioporn studios We Are Virtual reached the ears of new and old fans alike spreading Xilent as a even more respectable and admireable artist. Each song is crafted to be a different experience and take you on a trip without going anywhere. And so with the drop of We Are Virtual Xilent entered a new phase of his creator career.
We Are Dust is the second album from Xilent this time from Monstercat. Fans of dubstep and Xilent agree this is one of Monstercats and Xilents best albums out. Praised for its sequencing, sound design, exicution, transitions the list could go on.


CONFIG_DATA
Section: Perl Programmers Reference Guide (1)Updated: 2012-06-22
Index Return to Main Contents
NAME
config_data - Query or change configuration of Perl modulesSYNOPSIS
# Get config/feature values config_data --module Foo::Bar --feature bazzable config_data --module Foo::Bar --config magic_number # Set config/feature values config_data --module Foo::Bar --set_feature bazzable=1 config_data --module Foo::Bar --set_config magic_number=42 # Print a usage message config_data --help
DESCRIPTION
The "config_data" tool provides a command-line interface to the configuration of Perl modules. By ``configuration'', we mean something akin to ``user preferences'' or ``local settings''. This is a formalization and abstraction of the systems that people like Andreas Koenig ("CPAN::Config"), Jon Swartz ("HTML::Mason::Config"), Andy Wardley ("Template::Config"), and Larry Wall (perl's own Config.pm) have developed independently.The configuration system emplyed here was developed in the context of "Module::Build". Under this system, configuration information for a module "Foo", for example, is stored in a module called "Foo::ConfigData") (I would have called it "Foo::Config", but that was taken by all those other systems mentioned in the previous paragraph...). These "...::ConfigData" modules contain the configuration data, as well as publically accessible methods for querying and setting (yes, actually re-writing) the configuration data. The "config_data" script (whose docs you are currently reading) is merely a front-end for those methods. If you wish, you may create alternate front-ends.
The two types of data that may be stored are called "config" values and "feature" values. A "config" value may be any perl scalar, including references to complex data structures. It must, however, be serializable using "Data::Dumper". A "feature" is a boolean (1 or 0) value.
USAGE
This script functions as a basic getter/setter wrapper around the configuration of a single module. On the command line, specify which module's configuration you're interested in, and pass options to get or set "config" or "feature" values. The following options are supported:- module
- Specifies the name of the module to configure (required).
- feature
- When passed the name of a "feature", shows its value. The value will be 1 if the feature is enabled, 0 if the feature is not enabled, or empty if the feature is unknown. When no feature name is supplied, the names and values of all known features will be shown.
- config
- When passed the name of a "config" entry, shows its value. The value will be displayed using "Data::Dumper" (or similar) as perl code. When no config name is supplied, the names and values of all known config entries will be shown.
- set_feature
- Sets the given "feature" to the given boolean value. Specify the value as either 1 or 0.
- set_config
- Sets the given "config" entry to the given value.
- eval
- If the "--eval" option is used, the values in "set_config" will be evaluated as perl code before being stored. This allows moderately complicated data structures to be stored. For really complicated structures, you probably shouldn't use this command-line interface, just use the Perl API instead.
- help
- Prints a help message, including a few examples, and exits.

THE PROGRAMMES
The Positions
There are three positions you can apply for at a Camp in Canada. They are
general camp counselor, activities camp counselor and support staff. While
the counselor positions are the most popular and have you working closely
with the children, all positions need you to be highly energetic and
outgoing. Theses positions are great opportunities to boost your skills,
add international work to your CV and to immerse yourself in the Canadian
culture.
The Application Process
Applying to Camp Canada is quite simple and throughout the process we are
there to help you through. If you have any questions along the way one of
our staff members are always ready and willing to answer them.
Stage One: Application and Interview
To apply to the programme you’ll need to make the first stage payment for
£69, this shows commitment to the programme and covers the cost of the
interview.. Once this payment is made, you’ll receive an application. After
you have complete your application and returned it back to the team, we’ll
review your application and, if you are a rockstar on paper, invite you to
do an interview with either a member of staff or your local campus manager.
These interviews are informal, but informative meetings that allow us to get
to know you and your skills better so that we can ensure you have the strongest
application possible and that we have the correct information about you to
match you up with the right camp.
Stage Two: Documentation
Once the interview is done you will have 14 days to submit the rest of
your application, 3 references and a short application video. This is how
the Camp Directors in Canada will get to know what kind of person you are
on a personal level so make sure you talk about your skills in your video
and include a few photos of you doing them. The references cannot be from
friends or family members and must contain active contact details so we can
verify them. Teachers, employers or coaches are the best references to fill
out the forms.
Stage Three: Placement and Visa
This part of the process is when we work hard to match you with the best
camp for you and then get you prepared to make your way to Canada. You will
either be placed through our system or at one of our Camp Fairs. These fairs
are great opportunities to have more control over the camp you will be
placed at and have the possibility to be placed with a friend.  Once you have been placed
it is now time to make your final payment, get your medical and visa and
book your flights. You do NOT have to attend an embassy interview to obtain
your visa. Visas are done online and you get it when you go through customs
in Canada. Flights are quite easy too and we can get you in contact with our
flight partner to help you book them. It is best to apply early so you can
get placed earlier, book flights earlier and get a cheaper rate.

Guabao uses a variation of Guarded Command Language based on that in Anne Kaldewaij’s book, with slight variation in syntax.
As a running example, the following program computes the greatest common divisor (gcd
) of constants A
and B
and stores it in r
, using what is perhaps one of the oldest algorithm.
con A, B : Int { A > 0 ∧ B > 0}
con gcd : Int -> Int -> Int
var x, y : Int
x, y := A, B
{ gcd x y = gcd A B ∧ x > 0 ∧ y > 0,
bnd: x + y }
do x < y -> y := y - x
| x > y -> x := x - y
od
{ x = gcd A B }
From this example one may see that the main program consists of
Each declaration starts with a con
or a var
keyword, respectively denoting constants and variables. Constant declarations can be followed by an optional assertion containing properties the constants are assumed to hold.
In the GCD program, for example, we declared two constants A
and B
of type Int
, a constant gcd
having type Int -> Int -> Int
, and two variables x
and y
having type Int
.
con A, B : Int { A > 0 ∧ B > 0}
con gcd : Int -> Int -> Int
var x, y : Int
Base types include Int
, Char
, and Bool
. Function types are denoted by t1 -> t2
, currently used only in specifications.
The type of arrays is denoted by array interval of type
, where interval
can be either opened or closed on both ends, and may refer to declared constants. In the example below we declared a constant N
, about which all we know is that it is non-negative, and an array of Int
whose elements may include f[0]
but not f[N]
.
con N : Int { N ≥ 0 }
con f : array [0..N) of Int
Assertions are Bool
-valued expressions written in curly brackets. For example,
{ x = gcd A B }
An assertion that appears immediately before a loop is the invariant of the loop. In this case we also need to specify, using the keyword bnd
, the bound of the loop. The following is the invariant used in the GCD algorithm:
{ gcd x y = gcd A B ∧ x > 0 ∧ y > 0, bnd: x + y }
The bound must be an Int
-valued expression. In a completed program, each loop must have an invariant and a bound.
When an assertion that has a bnd
part does not appear before a loop, the bnd
part is ignored.
The statement abort
aborts the program.
The statement skip
does nothing.
Variable assignment is denoted by :=
. Simultaneous assignment of multiple variables is allowed for simple variables. For example, the following statement simultaneously assigns the value of y
to x
, and the value of x+y
before the assignment to y
:
x, y := y, x+y
Given an array f
, elements in it can be updated by f[i] := e
where i
is an Int
-valued expression. For example:
f[f[0]] := 1
However, simultaneous assignment is currently not allowed for array updating.
A guarded command has the form B -> S
where B
, the “guard”, is a Bool
-valued expression, and S
is a (sequence of) program statement (guarded by B
). Guarded commands cannot appear alone, but are essential building blocks of program constructs below.
Conditional branching is denoted by if B0 -> S0 | B1 -> S1 | ... | Bn -> Sn fi
, where B0 -> S0
.. Bn -> Sn
are guarded commands. The operational interpretation is that the computer may execute an arbitrary Si
whose corresponding guard Bi
evaluates to True
. When none of the guards is True
, the program aborts.
When written in multiple lines, Guabao uses ident-aware parsing to separate the guarded commands. For example:
if even b -> a := a * 2
b := b / 2
| odd b -> c := a + c
b := b - 1
fi
A loop is denoted by do B0 -> S0 | B1 -> S1 | ... | Bn -> Sn od
, where B0 -> S0
.. Bn -> Sn
are guarded commands. For example, this is a loop enclosing two guarded commands:
do p ≠ 0 ∧ mod p x = 0 -> y, p := y + 1, p - x
| p ≠ 0 ∧ mod p y = 0 -> x, p := x + 1, p - y
od
The loop above
y, p := y + 1, p - x
if p ≠ 0 ∧ mod p x = 0
, andx, p := x + 1, p - y
if p ≠ 0 ∧ mod p y = 0
.p = 0
), the loop terminates.We currently support
+, -, *, /
, ↑
and ↓
for (binary) maximum and minimum, and ^
for exponential.=, ≠, <, ≤, ≥, >
. One may also write <=
and >=
.¬, ∧, ∨, ⇒
. One may also wrote &&
and ||
for conjunction and disjunction.Regarding quantification, we use the Eindhoven notation, e.g. ⟨ Σ k : i ≤ k < j : f[k] ⟩
.
We currently allow two style of comments:
-- single line comments, and
{- blocked, multiline comments
{- that can be nested -}
-}


Analyze This
Starring Robert De Niro, Billy Crystal and Lisa Kudrow Directed By Harold Ramis Running Time: 1 hour 43 minutes
(Warner Brothers)
Although many people have compared this new gangster comedy to the hit HBO drama 'The Sopranos,' Analyze This is witty and entertaining enough to be a good movie in it's own right. Billy Crystal plays wiseguy shrink Ben Sobol, who new 'patient' happens to be gangster boss Paul Vitti (De Niro.) Ben wants nothing to do with Vitti, as he's about to get married to Laura MacNamara (Kudrow) and having a gangster as a patient wouldn't really help. But Ben is soon drawn into Vitti worlds, and reluctantly helps Vitti to sort his life out. All done in a comic fashion, of course.
Although never brilliant, Analyze This is also never rubbish, which makes for a fun ride. Billy Crystal, who hasn't had a good role since City Slickers way back in the early '90's, is given a role that lets him fully exploit his wiseguy act. He's pretty funny while he does it, and although his character is a little close to his character in City Slickers, he's pretty funny. Robert De Niro is hilarious as Vitti, playing it dead straight but coming off as really funny. He's a serious gangster unaware that he is a comic gold mine. Lisa Kudrow, barely seen as Crystals' estranged wife to be, basically reprises her Phoebe role from T.V series Friends, which is getting rather tiresome, and doesn't come off well on the screen. The supporting cast is apparently made up of the entire cast of Casino and Goodfellas, and are all funny caricatures, especially Vitti's bodyguard Jelly (Joe Viterelli.)
 It sometimes gets a little bloody for a light hearted film, but it strangely fits in. Spoofs are made of famous gangster movies, including a nice parody of The Godfather. The Italian tunes playing throughout the soundtrack contribute to the fun. There's also some odd plot points: FBI guys appear and suddenly disappear for no apparent reason. It is true that Analyze This has had a somewhat chequered production history, and perhaps the plot points were expanded in a earlier version of the script. Unfortunately, this is Hollywood, so we will never know.
Harold Ramis, best known as Egon from Ghostbusters, has a deft touch with directing comedy, as shown in the immortal Groundhog Day, and the less immortal Caddyshack. All the comic potential in a scene is dug out and presented to the audience. The script, written by Ramis along with Peter Tolan and Ken Lonergan, starts off funny, remains funny for the most of the film, but sadly peters out somewhat during the last twenty minutes where it wrongly enters more serious territory. The film is short, however, and just before audience interest is waning the film suddenly goes into a rather rushed and unsatisfying ending and the credits roll.
Analyze This is a good comedy, and is certainly worth watching. Robert De Niro sobbing is reason enough to watch it, even though it does seem forced, or like a parody (although I think this was intentional.) Crystal is his most likeable in years, Kudrow is given as little screen time as possible, which is a good thing, and De Niro is just awesome. It's no Goodfellas, and it probably won't be remembered as much as Groundhog Day, but Analyze This is a well done comedy that won't leave you feel cheated.

In the fictional town of darry main a shape shifting beast named pennywise the dancing clown, kills kids.7 kids join together to fight the clown while also battling bullies.
there are over 1000 hidden secrets and "easter eggs" through out the movie. For example during one scene there can be a small clown seen on the painting in the background.Also in scenes were the adults are seen watching tv if you listen very closely you can hear them talking about clowns and sewers which actually becomes important later in the movie.
IT was filmed in diffrent locations acrossed Ontario Canada most of the child stars that acted in IT acted in other things before that and are now acting in other things because of IT.

Exactly! is large neighborhood search. And I get your idea is very clever.
thanks.

I am a Front-End Architect and Back-End Developer who strives to marry the love of Web Designing. Currently, I'm undergrad at VIT University Vellore.
A dedicated Web & Android Developer and am very passionate about UI/UX designing, and enjoy designing logos, posters and infographics. Currently I have got a few IoT projects on my to do list and look forward to pursue them relentlessly. I am a proud alumnus of DPS Bokaro & having experienced life at Kota I could say I have had quite a journey. Presently, I'm an undergrad student at VIT University Vellore.
Well this is what it is on the professional front, numbers and figures stacked up. But let me throw light on what makes me.
This section isn't about me going ga-ga over my achievements. It is about how the journey so far has shaped me to a person I am today. It is about all the bits and bytes that make me. Yes I am a tech geek but with a difference! An equal interest in Art, Culture and Music. I wish to see the world as if everything is a miracle. Firstly, I am grateful for the tiny treasure I have in my life - a roof on my head, a safe environment, a sustainable future, the right to education and opportunities to extract the best out of it, few but faithful friends and I hope to give back to society by doing my job as an IT professional.
Throughout the years I have moulded myself to fight fear with hope, arrogance with confidence, thoughts with actions, actions with response and pessimism with optimism. I have a deep abiding love for learning, building and designing things. I consistently set short-term goals for myself. Then, once I’ve defined the benchmarks, I take necessary steps to achieve those milestones. Being tireless seeker of knowledge, I always look at where I can improve and strive for perfection in things which I do. I enjoy my ongoing tasks and multitasking. I always keep an eye on my target.
My father has always been the Larry Summers to my inner Sheryl Sandberg, the iron pillar in my life.   And he is confident and ready to take on the world that awaits.
I love to interact with people and share whatever little I know about my subjects and quite often can be found blogging on Quora and Medium.

Challenges as a programmer:
Those annoying "hey I can't open. It crashes" kind of bug reports. Well how are programmers suppose to solve/debug when no info is given along with bug reports!!
The documentation of applications are seldom read by others. The users tend to ignore them and keep PMing the coder for easy info. You spend hours documenting the application and no one cares about it!
Programmer is frustrated the more often than not when he/she gets an output for the first time he/she compiles a group of codes. Might even think of editing the code to get at-least one error!
The biggest challenge comes in optimizing the code, to reduce the loading time. Undoubtedly, if you're not well - acquainted with any language, then writing the program in itself would be the biggest challenge!
He/she also faces a lot of problems and challenges while deploying the changes made (code enhancements) according to the needs of end-user. Most of the times, programmers get enhancements on a daily basis. Faced it while deploying my Ruby code from testing stage to the production stage.
I often found it hard to ask a question. The issue was not with Bloc The problem being with me as a programmer should solve all problems myself approach. This would involve endless hours of finding simplest solution to a problem. Problems which could be solved in a few minutes by an expert. Raising a hand to ask questions.
Talking about questions. Programmers tend to ask questions very vaguely . And context of a problem is important too. Understanding the context brings about clarity and approach.
Communication: Finding out what is needed via communication and finding out the best possible approach to solve an issue.
Keeping up with technology. New versions of software. Compatibility issues and the learning curve. Time is a big factor and money. For example : I just finished learning Angular JS , and I have found out that Angular 2 is just released which is albeit a bit more complex but with better framework it is preloaded with more goodies which can save time.
An application will eventually break; Bad deploy, unintended behaviour, unintended input or unintended external load. Plan for that. This includes making sure you log uncaught exceptions, test a deploy works after it's out (and potentially roll back), should run tests continously.
Keep your version control system's branches short-lived. My experience is that risk of failures increases exponentially the longer a branch lives. Avoid working on a branch for more than two weeks. For large features, break them into multiple refactoring branches to make the feature easier to implement in a few commits.
Writing comments will be a challenge. Finding an aha moment and writing the corresponding comment in real time will be very crucial. Helps for a better read by others and yourself. Also , as I figured out the comments lead to an internal version control system for me and allowed me to review my code better for finding potential errors.


“Daharā tvaṁ rūpavatī,
ahampi daharo yuvā;
Pañcaṅgikena turiyena,
ehi kheme ramāmase”.
“You’re so young and beautiful!
I too am young, just a youth.
Come, Khemā, let us enjoy
the music of a five-piece band.”
“Iminā pūtikāyena,

“This body is rotting,
ailing and frail,
I’m horrified and repelled by it,
and I’ve eradicated sensual craving.

Sensual pleasures are like swords and stakes;
the aggregates are their chopping block.
What you call sensual delight
is now no delight for me.

Relishing is destroyed in every respect,
and the mass of darkness is shattered.

you’re beaten, terminator!”

“Worshiping the stars,
serving the sacred flame in a grove;
failing to grasp the true nature of things,
foolish me, I thought this was purity.

But now I worship the Awakened One,
supreme among men.
Doing the teacher’s bidding,
I am released from all suffering.”

LSD |
(blotter / tab) |
'Just too pure and undistorted, just too pure for one to sweatily hastily punch into a computer.'
LSD. The word intimidates some and draws curiosity from others. I myself was intensely curious of this psychedelic drug, after being an avid salvia and weed user for months following my first trip.
I scored a single hit from a shady friend of mine outside of a public library. He was tripping off the same batch as he sold it to me, and declared it to be of excellent quality. He showed me some drawings and writings he must have made while he was in the library. I was very, very interested. This had gone through probably 4 hands since manufacturing, so I was forced to pay a premium of $15/hit. I learned later that this $15 was a small price to pay for such an amazing experience.
A week or so passed before I was in a situation where I could use it. Some of my stoner friends were sleeping over at one of their houses and wanted me to come. I think they expected me to bring more acid, but I could not. I ended up being the only one there tripping. By the end of the night, 8 or 9 people had showed up, including two girls, whom I ended up befriending greatly.
~8:45
I ingest the single blotter square. Red, 1/8' square, nothing special. It tasted like paper. I swallowed it after 10 minutes of playing with it in my mouth. I went upstairs for about 30 minutes and watched TV. I felt nothing and was anxious to get started.
~9:15
I venture back to the basement. By now, I am feeling giddy and energetic. I started to use the computer but quickly became bored. The giddiness was starting to become very noticeable and I told everyone I was feeling threshold effects. The girls came over at around this time.
~9:35
'The Baron,' we call him, picks up interest in my condition. Mild hallucinations were starting to develop, when I told him this, he decided to try a fun activity.  This was a very cool sight.  I grabbed the yellow ball tightly. I felt I was able to squeeze it like a stress ball and was able to convince myself that I could actually do so. Something compelled me to hold it for a very long time.
~9:50
I get back on the computer. The girls were very interested in my Windows Paint abilities, having seen drawings I made on salvia. I drew a TV remote crashing into the earth and stared at it for a long time. I am having an intense rush of energy. I have consumed more caffeine than anyone I know, but the only time I remember feeling this kind of rush was when I snorted Adderol about a year ago. I somehow acquired a pool table triangle and had it around my neck. I was mentally unable to remove it, it stayed on for a good portion of the night and was the inspiration for several more drawings. The Baron found an extremely fun device: a scooter that is propelled by its steering wheel. I was gliding around the basement on it, probably the happiest person on earth at the time.
~10:20
The first hallucination I can remember was watching my friends prepare a Salvia quid. I was staring at the fractallizing corian countertop, watching them dexterously seperate leaves and stems with massive, massive hands. By now, almost everyone is very, very high on marijuana. I didn't smoke any, feeling perfectly good myself. I felt different but in a very fine way. D and T ask me to join them with a cigarette. I step outside into a beautiful night. We are huddled in a chilly hole leading to J's basement. I stare at the wall, it opened up and let me look inside of it as it told me a story.
'To some point,' he says, 'you can be worried about everything. The world, it's metabolism, yourself, all those around you. The universe can stretch before like some unknown, worry-inducing thing. Nut then, the cigarette smoke tells me, it will all be okay.'
'This computer. This computer is so amazing. The colors and heartbeat and breath that are spwering, spewing out of the monitor.'
This is when the classic hallucinations started kicking into high gear: fractals, breathing walls, melting ceilings, giant hands and feet, morping, new, bright colors. A lot of what happened is a blur because none of it makes sense now. Everyone, including me, was having a hilarious, social time. I stayed up late with a lot of people, but being so high and full of munchies, they became annoyingly lazy and incoherent. I was offered salvia and weed but refused both. This was one uncomfortable part of my trip: the ampetamine-like rush was starting to get to me, I hyperventilated a little bit and felt like my lungs were the size of ping pong balls. It was important for me, however, to experience both the highs and the lows, the fears and the ecstacy.
Around 1, I went outside to have a cigarette by myself. This was definitely the high point of my trip. The sky was moonlit, patched with clouds and trees. The clouds glowed with colors that I had never seen before. The trees towered over me with mind-squishing dimensions. Everything around me grew, rooted itself into the earth, shined with auras that warmed the soul. My mind was racing with thoughts beyond notes, drawings or any part of the English language. From the side, I watched myself back up against the wall and close my eyes. The universe had been packed into my brain.
I came back and scribbled into Notepad:
'That last cigarette out there. Man, if words could only come close. Windows paint can't really come close either.'
no video or optical illusion could possibly come close to the beauty eminating from the forest out there. And I am just a small, infinitely small, observer. Nothing, I remember to myself, will ever, ever come close to this kind of knowledge. The information imparted onto me just then, out there, enjoying a cigarette, will be ultimately lost in translation.
By 2 AM, everyone was completely out. I sat on the floor, awake and alone. I probably shouldn't have been afraid to hit up the bong before, but now I felt it was too late. I was WIDE AWAKE.
3 AM, still wide awake...
4 AM, 5:30... awake the whole time.
I entertained myself by staring at multi-dimensional fractals by placing my eyes about a centimeter away from the floor. My body was exhausted, especially towards the end of the night. A couple times, I ventured upstairs looking for alcohol. I felt that alcohol would have been a perfect antidote to calm my nerves and let me sleep. I was hungry for sleep. I desired it more than anything.
'And this LEVEL, this totally third level of thinking.....'
7:30 AM. The hallucinations slowed to a stop. I had not gotten a wink of sleep, though I felt mildly refreshed when the sun rose. J got up too and kept me company as we talked about the night, used the computer and relaxed. I drove out for some McDonalds with most of the guys. Though I hadn't eaten in over 18 hours, I still couldn't finish the meal. I got home and still could not sleep immediately. I was awake for most of the day, probably because I was excited about the whole experience. I had mild HPPD in the following days. Nothing serious, just small reminders that said, 'Hey, don't forget, you did LSD not too long ago.'

As a marathon runner, I need my lungs to be in top form. When my pot head friends and I get together, I always pass on smoking. Instead, I brew my pot in tea. So when we were hanging out last Friday and someone suggested making marijuana brownies, I was all for it- completely unaware of what the effects would be.
For the better part of the evening, I was sober. I don't use marijuana too often, and prefer it that way. My friends, however, were (as usual) very high. I don't mind at all- it's easier to make them laugh that way, and it's a funny sight for me to see.
At about 7:30 that night, Lena* started to make the brownies, putting about fifty dollars worth of pot in a small tray of brownie mix (for seven people).
I hadn't eaten much of anything for the enitre day, so when the brownies were ready, I took one and a half and scarffed them down like I'd never seen food before. I didn't think much of what I had done- seeing as how I wasn't high at all. 'This just doesn't work on me,' I decided. It was 8:00.
By 8:30, my closest friend (in the group) had to start heading back to Brooklyn. She had over two brownies, but was feeling just as I was- totally normal. At 9:30, everyone else left Lena's apartment. Two friends and I were going to sleep over at Grace's* house. She lives about three blocks away.
About ten minutes into the walk, as I was talking to Grace, I said a word that began with an 'L'. Suddenly, I heard my own voice repeat the 'L' very loud, over and over and over again. I grew frightened by the intensity of the sound, but didn't link the feeling to the brownie.
In order to get to Grace's house, we had to walk over a small bridge with awesome blue lights all over it. Midway through, all I could see was the lights. It was as if I was in space, surrounded by blue stars, walking without gravity. Instead of embracing this feeling, I grew terrified. My body felt wrong.
'Grace!' I said in panic 'I think I'm tripping... I'm so scared.'
I leaned against the side of the bridge, too frightened to continue. She took my hand. 'This doesn't have to be a negative experience,' she told me 'I'm right here... think of how beautiful it all is... think of the beauty.'
I calmed down and we made it to her house. The four remaining people (myself included)sat in her room. Mark*, who had been flirting with me every time we got together, said he wanted to ask Lena out. Confused and distraught by this, I started to get jealous and angry. These negative feelings started to intensify. I felt, saw and smelled negative energy all around me. The luminosity from the lights outside her window got very powerful. And those lights became negative, too. The voices from their conversation got excessively quiet, then suddenly loud. And the worst part about it was that I left my perscirption pills at home, and my father was coming to Grace's house to drop them off. How was I going to hide the fact that I was tripping? That heightened my paranoia and negative feelings.
When he come with the pills, Grace did all the talking. I started to stare at my father intensely. The lighting made him look like Ghandi. I couldn't get that thought out of my head. Five minutes later, I thought he was Ghandi.
Eventually, he left and we went back upstairs. The four of us stood in the kitchen. 'Doesn't anyone feel like this but me?' I asked them. They shook their heads unanimously. Suddenly, I lost all ability to stand and fell to the ground. The last time that happened to me, I almost died of a very serious pnuemonia. I started to get intense flashbacks of that time.
'Why do we do this to ourselves? Shit... I can't believe I ate those brownies without realizing their effects. I'm an idiot.' I told Grace. She understood and explained to me how I should take advantage of tripping and try to make the experince beneficial to my search for enlightenment. This calmed me down and I rested on the couch until Mark asked that Grace, Yoni* (the other person) and I walk him to the train. It was 12:00.
The lights and sounds around me we tourturous. A man standing on the corner whistled at me and made testosterone-laden remarks. I felt disgust in my body. I felt every emotion as if it were an object. I started to contemplate that. Mark, Yoni and Grace walked ahaead of me. My contemplation grew more intense and focused. Suddenly, I felt caught in an instant of time. I literally felt like somone had paused life.
Twenty seconds later, I snapped out of the 'pause' and realized that I was walking. I felt faint and dropped to the ground. 'Grace, help!' I shouted before going down. She turned around and helped me, holding my hand and letting me sit for awhile. We let Mark get to the train by himself. Grace, Yoni and I took a slow walk home.
When we got back, I tried to sleep on the couch, but Grace's dogs fought, yelping loudly. Their barking drove me insane, but after five minutes, I literally became a stone and fell into another state of conscious. Grace and Yoni had to wake up early the next morning to perform in a concert (we all go to a pre-conservatory, I'm an art major). I didn't mind. I just wanted to go home.
During the course of the next day, I slowly felt as if I had smoked a dime, then a nickel and finally, just a pull or two. Thirty hours later, I felt okay- 'normal' at the very least.
My experience from eating pot brownies made me aware of my negaitivity. Prior to this time, I deemed myself to be close to enlightenment. Now I have a more realitic view on what I need to work on before I can become a guru.
I also realized that, if I ever have brownies again, that I need to be in a comfortable setting, and only with people who I feel comfortable around. For now, though, I have no desire to take any more drugs, smoke, brew or eat any more marijuana. I love life when I am sober, but I acknowledge the benefits of taking drugs. Most importantly, I know that, for now, being sober for a long time will make me happy. And that is what is most important.

Higuain Shines In CR7's Absence To Lead Juve To Victory
by SL InternationalSerie A
Result: Atalanta 1-3 Juventus
Date: 23 November 2019
Venue: Gewiss Stadium
With Cristiano Ronaldo left out the squad, Gonzalo Higuain was the hero for Juventus who rallied from behind to defeat Atalanta 3-1 on Saturday afternoon.
Despite bagging four goals during the international break, Ronaldo was left out the squad as Higuain, Paulo Dybala and Federico Bernardeschi led the attack for Juventus.
The hosts nearly found themselves behind after 17 minutes when Atalanta were penalty for a handball on Sami Khedira, but Musa Barrow was unable to convert after hitting the crossbar.
It was a disappointing first half for Maurizio Sarri's charges who struggled to carve out clear-cut openings for most of the first half as they spent most of the stanza trying to get out of their own half.
Unfortunately, that was the trend for the visiting side while Atalanta did not fare any better themselves and were left frustrated after the missed penalty.
While both sides did struggle in the first half, Atalanta did look the better side and it was no surprise that they broke the deadlock on 56 minutes Barrow turned provider to pick out Robin Gosens, who nodded past Wojciech Szczęsny.
However, the visitors were level with 15 minutes remaining as the ball deflected off Miralem Pjanic and into the path of Higuain, who slotted into the bottom corner.
The turnaround was complete for the visitors on 82 minutes as Higuain completed his brace by turning home a cross from Juan Cuardardo.
The victory was sealed in second-half stoppage time when Higuain turned provider to set up his strike partner Dybala, who fired home from close range to seal three points.

The title of Asshat of the Week is being shared this week by White Sox Manager Ozzie Guillen and GM Kenny Williams. Ozzie for his comments about Wrigley and Kenny for his comments about the Cubs. These guys have a major little-brother complex when it comes to the Cubs. I don't need to comment or analyze these comments...here they are:
Ozzie Guillen: Co-Asshat of the Week
“You are going to take batting practice and the rats look bigger than a pig out there,” said Guillen, referring to the batting cages under the right-field bleachers. “You want to take a look?
“I think the rats out there are lifting weights,” added Guillen, drawing huge laughter from the large crowd of assembled media.
..."What’s wrong with saying I don’t like this ballpark?” Guillen said. “You ask any player which one they like less and they might throw in some names. Ask me about it, and this is the one I pick.
“It’s a museum. They like to come to Wrigley Field. I don’t say people don’t like to come here. I say Ozzie don’t like to come here.
“But hey, you have to do what you have to do,” Guillen added. “Wake up in the morning and go to Wrigley Field is not a good thing. But it’s fun to play against them.”
''The unfortunate thing for me is it's a shame that a certain segment of Chicago refused to enjoy a baseball championship being brought to their city. The only thing I can say is, 'Happy anniversary.'''
''That would be a betrayal,'' Williams said before a long pause. ''God, I would really, really have to need the job. Oh, wow, really need the job.''
''Let me just throw out one question: What happens if we win another one before they win one?'' he said.
After hearing the reply that maybe nothing would change, Williams said, ''Well, my goal is to find out.''

Duration Picker lets you select fixed time periods. You can choose how long something will go on for, not relative to a date. This particular project experiments with auto formatting user inputs instead of using a traditional dropdown.
And so on. This is not a library yet, but a component to incorporate as part of a bigger project!
The obvious choice for a picker would be a dropdown but this project experiments with keeping the user's focus on their keyboard. This approach eliminates the need for clicking a dropdown, scrolling to find your option and instead auto-formats your input on pressing Enter.
Also, a quick Google search will reveal that while there are plenty of datepicker and timepicker options, there is no good duration picker and that's how this project came about.
This was built for min:sec format. Its easy to imagine that when i type 1030, I would want it to show as 10:30. The trickier one was 3 digits like 130. Is that 1:30 or 13:00? For the scenario I was working with, it was far more likely that the user meant 1:30 and not 13 so that's the approach I decided to go with. Obviously, these can be easily tweaked to fit another project's needs.
Input some digits and hit Enter.
Here are a few example of what the user inputs turns to on pressing Enter key.
| User input | Output |
|---|---|
| 1030 | 10:30 |
| 130 | 1:30 |

Johor plans to extend free water scheme to M40 group
PONTIAN, Nov 14 — The Johor state government plans to extend its free water scheme to the middle-income (M40) group and also increase the volume from the 10 cubic metres now to 15 or 20 cubic metres.
State International Trade, Investment and Utilities Committee chairman, Jimmy Puah Wee Tse said the implementation, however, depends on the state’s financial position, whether it would able to cover the annual allocation for it.
He disclosed that the state government allocated nearly RM22 million each year for the free water scheme, which is only given to the low-income (B40) group with the volume being 10 cubic metres.
“The plan is for the near future but not this year...the intention is there, just the financial factors don’t allow it (now),” he told reporters after launching a Free Water Scheme Explanatory Programme and the Healthcare Protection Scheme (PEKA) for the B40 group in Kampung Sungai Burong, here today.
According to him, the free water scheme has benefited 165,400 people in the B40 group in Johor. — Bernama
