I got into Heroku a few weeks ago now and I think it’s time to give you my feedback.
I remember when I started web development pretty much 10 years ago, deploying websites was a real pain and you had to cross your fingers really strongly to not crash your website for few minutes or hours/days in the worst cases.

Indeed, Heroku offers a free starter option which allows you to play a bit with their backoffice and see how it works. This offer (1 free dyno) is perfect for small apps or low traffic websites and once again, is completely free. So what are the cons? After the potential lack of power for high traffic website, the main one is that if you have only the free dyno, this one will go asleep after 1 hour of non activity on your app. Pretty bad and to get out of its idling state on the next loading, it can take sometimes more than 7 seconds!
What’s the trick?
Thanks god there is really easy and free work around to avoid your dyno to go into his sleep mode. This is called “Monitoring”. Basically, monotoring your app will call it every X minutes to check if your server is still up and will record response time and many other data.
One good free monitoring service is UptimeRobot. It’s currently pinging my heroku server every 45mins and keeping my response time under 200ms. By calling my server every 45mins I prevent it idling and keep it efficient/awake for the next “real” call. As I was saying in this previous post (cf Bonus point #2), Heroku has a great response time.
What about the database?
Once you’ve solved this idling problem, you will face some other small problems like finding a free Heroku add-on for your database. By default Heroku includes a Postgres SQL database which is free for less than 10 000 rows which should be enough for small apps.
What I recommend is just switching to MEAN.io and install the database add-on MongoLab which is free under 500MB.
You will work only using Javascript and MEAN is a really powerful project starter for small apps. And Heroku accepts node.js apps so no excuses! :)
Bonus service that I really like
If you want to upload files really easily, Heroku recommends using Amazon S3. Of course, it depends of your needs but I highly recommend FilePicker.io which is another free add-on if you upload less than 500 files / month and your files are lighter than 20MB. They provide all the file upload system to S3 + the UI and just return a URL and file properties. Ready to use and provides you data to store in your MongoDB or to use directly in your app!

NumerologyNumerology is the art of converting virtually anything in life to a pure number, then using that number in an attempt to divine some meaningful insight about reality. "Art" is definitely the word for numerology, as opposed to "science." The term numerology covers an incredibly diverse selection of practices, virtually all of which are utterly ridiculous.The practice of numerology is an outgrowth of an ancient -- and more respectable -- practice known as gematria. Although there are scattered examples of its use in ancient Greece and Mesopotamia, the most widely known form of gematria is primarily a Jewish mystical practice grounded in the structure of the Hebrew language. The letters of the Hebrew alphabet have numeric equivalents, and these numbers are relevant to the construction of words. If you add the values of the letters in a word, the total is the value of the word. Related words have related gematria. Gematria played a starring role in the movie Pi (1998), which offered as an example the words "father" and "mother." If you add the numerical values for each word in Hebrew gematria, you get the number 44, which is the gematria value for "child" -- which is what results when you combine a father and mother. Even in Hebrew, a language in which the numerical values are closely integrated, gematria is considered more of a game than a useful pursuit (except as part of kabalistic practices). And numerology proper takes you one step further from any sort of practical application. In numerology, you extract numbers from names, or places, or birthdays, or whatever else happens to be at hand. The numbers are then connected to meanings, either a prognostication of the future or an analysis of a situation or personality. No one would dispute that numbers and applied mathematics are an important part of how the world works, but numerology has nothing to do with those pursuits. Numerology isn't science, but it isn't really religion either. Unlike I-Ching, tarot cards or even astrology, there is absolutely no underlying philosophy or logic in numerology. There's no one historical tradition for numerology, and there is no consistent way to do it. The most common form of numerology involves using your name. (Others will use your date of birth, or some other randomly selected starting point.) The letters of your name are assigned numerical values, based either on an improvised code or some sort of diagrammatic setup, then a series of reductions are performed to get the number down to within a certain range. The range you are shooting for depends on the numerology manual you happen to be consulting. For instance, some numerology schemes are designed to work with the i-Ching, so you keep reducing the total name number until it's 64 or less. Others, like the so-called "Life Path" system, reduce to one of 11 values. Kabbalistic numerology will shoot for values that fit with a set of 10, 11 or 22. These numbers are then, more or less arbitrarily, used to determine your future or describe your personality. There are endless reasons why this system should produce essentially random results. For one thing, the ordering of English alphabet letters is pretty much meaningless, so number schemes based on that order are also meaningless. Many numerologists use a grid called the Pythagorean square to determine their values, which sounds very impressive but in reality is not a process which Pythagoras would have endorsed in the slightest. So the process by which letters are converted to numbers is arbitrary, and the assignment of names to children (particularly is Western cultures) is extremely abritrary.  The problems only deepen the more you look at it. What about nicknames? What if your family was originally named Sapperstein and your father changed it to Sapp? What about middle names? Initials? Confirmation names? Would two people with identical names, "John Smith" for instance, have identical characteristics and identical futures? What about "Humbert Humbert"? If you legally change your name in court, can you also change your "Life Path"? There is simply no reason that your name should contain any significant information about you, let alone a number derived from your name using no particular method. And most numerologists can't even tell you why your name should contain said information, either. They're just sure it does. Some people would promote numerology on the basis of the general interconnectedness of things. This is always an emotionally compelling argument, since things are indeed deeply interconnected at many levels. But even if everything is interconnected, that doesn't mean everything can be used to produce reasonable information about everything else. The number of dimples on an orange is not likely to correlate in any meaningful way to a satellite's orbital decay, nor to the mating habits of squid. For that matter, it isn't even likely to correlate to the price of oranges. Chaos theory strongly suggests you'll get a more accurate fortune-telling result by flipping coins or rolling dice than by the name method of numerology. You can make a last desperate bid and argue that numerology is simply a crutch, a tool used as a way to channel some sort of innate psychic power. This argument is frequently used to justify the use of tarot cards or palmistry. The problem here is that tarot cards and palmistry are interactive mediums upon which the fortune-teller has a great deal of latitude to impose his or her own insights onto a reading. Numerology offers no such opportunity.  Individual prowess simply doesn't enter into it. On the bright side, numerology is a great occupation for people who aren't psychic, aren't particularly charismatic and aren't especially burdened with conscience. You can charge the rubes anywhere from $10 to $100 to perform a few second-grade transformations and look up the result in a book.  Why knock yourself out?

The Good
https://twitter.com/signup
Twitter has a nice and clear signup form that even offers suggestions if your username is taken. Works well on any screen size.
The Bad
https://www.airbnb.com/s/San-Francisco--CA--United-States?price_max=840
Airbnb's advanced filters get confusing quickly. The checkboxes for room types are really far from the icon and the caret icons are on the opposite side of the screen from the section which I find a bit misleading.
Chunking
Good
http://www.reddit.com/
Reddit is a good example of chunking because its a constant flow of posts and combined with Reddit Enhancement Suite allows for endless scrolling so you can go on forever.
Bad
https://www.yahoo.com/
Yahoo comes out swinging with content left and right overwhelming the visitor with lots of different groups of news articles. Whenever I'm on yahoo I feel like I don't know where to look.

Good
http://lansing.craigslist.org/
Craigslist has no advertisements and only gives you the basics of classified ads.
Bad
http://milliondollarhomepage.com/
Million dollar homepage is literally just one giant advertising billboard with no organization to the ads or any real flow. The website feels like every pop up ad in existence in one place.

http://www.autotrader.com/
Auto trader does a good job of starting off with basic choices for you to make about the type of car you are looking for and then expanding on them with easy to understand advanced filtering options.
Bad
http://espn.go.com/
ESPN has a lot of choices for different sports to keep up with so its tough for them. However there are so many links on the website that it feels like an overwhelming number of choices. Furthermore the navigation once you're in a particular sports section feels dated.

Good

Visiting Apple's homepage you are gretted with a very nice picture of the iphone 6 models along with a little header that makes really good use of space.

The Easter Egger is not really a breed. They are relationed to the breeds Ameraucanas and Araucanas, then bred with many different breeds so they no longer fit either breed's standards. They usually have muffs and pea combs, but come in nearly every variety and color, some even have ear tufts or are rumpless. Each EE is different, but overall they are usually a smaller bird that lays pink, green, or blue eggs. They are normally friendly and calm, and their colorful eggs make them a popular choice in backyard flocks.

Montage Viewer: Other Montage Modules
Of course, all of the other Montage modules can be of use when creating the image files that are
then sent to mViewer but there are a few that are particulary usefule with regard to presentation:
- mSubimage/mSubCube
mViewer will alway produce a PNG/JPEG of the whole image it is
given. To cut out a piece for display, use these tools. This was done for most of the
examples on these pages; the original SDSS mosaics used were twice as big in both dimensions.
- mShrink/mShrinkCube
Similarly, mViewer transform one pixel in the FITS files to one
display pixel. To changes the scale, use these tools. mShrink can shrink (or expand) the
scale by non-integer factors. Alternatively, you can shrink/expand to a target size.
- mExamine
This tool will return overall statistics on an image (e.g., the
pixel scale, center coordinates, and so on. This is useful in deciding how to run the
above tools and particularly useful in the Python/Web applications based on mViewer.

I will be hosting a webinar on Engaging students in authentic “data practices” in online science classes with Michigan Virtual Learning Research Institute, the research organization associated with Michigan’s state-wide online school. The webinar is today (10/18) at 2pm EDT and is available via https://connect.mivu.org/mvlri
Here is a bit more information on the webinar:
Not only in science and science education but also our everyday lives, data are powerful, but opportunities for students to think of and with data as part of their learning are limited. This webinar discusses activities focused on work with data (or data practices) in the context of the Next Generation Science Standards and Michigan Science Standards as well as recommendation for engaging students in data practices based on findings from a design-based research study carried out at MVS.

Chart Sharing¶
Starting with PixieDust 1.1.1, the PixieGateway server now supports sharing of charts created with the display() function, effectively turning them into standalone web pages. No coding necessary.
Simply use the interactive PixieDust display() function from within a Jupyter Notebook to build your chart, click on the Share button, add an optional description. You’ll get a URL. Visitors to your page will see the chart without needing to run a Jupyter Notebook. All they need is a web browser.
Chart Sharing in Action
Using display()
to create a chart, you’ll now see a Share button next to “Options”:
The Share dialog will ask for the following information:
- PixieGateway server: If you don’t have one, see the docs for instructions on how to set one up.
- Description: Optional free-form text explaining what the chart is about. It will be added to the standalone webpage.
Click Share, and if all goes well, you should get a URL for your chart webpage that is ready to share:
You can copy the URL or click on the link to go directly to the page:

And Nathan departed unto his house. And the LORD struck the child that Uriah's wife bare unto David, and it was very sick.


Many of today’s tech giants got started with 1 or 2 programmers and went on to become captains of industry riding the wave of the information revolution. Larry Page and Sergey Brin started Google as a graduate student research project. Woz built and programmed the original Apple I computer in his spare time while working at HP. Zuckerberg and Gates started their respective software companies as undergraduate Harvard students.
Elon Musk, who now heads companies that manufacture rockets & cars, first made his millions on a web application he initially wrote independently in 1995. He didn’t have the capital to go out and start SpaceX or Tesla right out of college because these industries have such high barriers of entry and high marginal costs for each new customer.
These technologists are the modern paragons of the American Dream. Everyone wants to take their shot at riches, and programming is a skill that provides one with a lot of creative leverage to do so.

web developer & design
I am junior web designer and developer boosting my skill in every step. Lean methodology is one of the keys to optimize the workflow and the results. Able to work by myself but always willing to learn from others and to help them as much as I can. Shared knowledge is the key to evolve. I like to belive that everything is posible but i do not have the know-how yet
Front-end creating webs in Html(foundation) or PHP (wordpress).
From the idea to the web page or aplication. The main tools used are Foundation, bootstrap & angular as a frameworks and wordpress as CMS.
Editing and configuration of wordpress themes also building templates from wireframe to HTML5.
Apart from being a web developer, I enjoy most of my time being outdoors. In the winter, I expent time with friends and chill out with them or traveling. During the warmer months here in Malloca, I enjoy mountain biking, jogging, and kayaking.
When forced indoors, I enjoy a good sci-fi and fantasy movies or television shows but I use most of my time sculpting & and painting, also I am an aspiring chef I like healthy lifestyle but every now and then I like to be nasty -Have you ever heard about "fried oreos"?- and I spend a large amount of my free time exploring the latest technolgy advancements in the front-end web development world.

MORTAL KOMBAT: ANNIHILATION Starring: Robin Shou (Liu Kang), Tailsa Soto (Princess Kitana) Directed by: John R. Leonetti, Written by: Brent V. Friedman and Bryce Zabel from a story by Lawrence Kasanoff, John Tobias, and Joshua Wexler. Rated PG-13 by the MPAA for some strong language and plenty of violence, mostly of the martial arts variety.
Reviewed by Doug Skiles
MORTAL KOMBAAAAT!!!
*Bah-buh-bah-bah-buhbuh, bah-buh-bah-bah-bahbuh, bah-bah-bah-buh-bahbuh, bah-bah-buhbahbuhbuhbah*
Okay, so chances are you've heard that now-famous outcry and the techno music that follows it, either on commercials for the movies, or the video games, or on the soundtracks for the games or movies, or in the movies themselves.
In this, the sequel to the original MORTAL KOMBAT film, titled MORTAL KOMBAT: ANNIHILATION, that theme music is still intact, and, just like the last time, bolts into our ears right from the New Line Cinema logo. However, it's almost the only thing that's still around from the first film.
In order to review MORTAL KOMBAT: ANNIHILATION, one must have an opinion of the original, since this essentially just tries to be more of the same.
Okay. I truly liked MORTAL KOMBAT. Yes, I really did. Maybe the plot was sort of basic, but it was *fun*. It was one of the most *fun* movies of the summer of 1995. It had some funny dialouge, some appealing actors (and some not-so-much), some nice effects, plenty of extremely well-choreographed martial arts battles, and a cool, pumping soundtrack. And, of course, it was directed very well by the talented Paul Anderson, who could have a great career as long as he avoids crap like EVENT HORIZON from now on.
Now the sequel is upon us. The martial arts battles aren't as well choreographed, but they're still pretty good. Unfortunately, the directing is nowhere near as good as in the original, and it dilutes the quality of the fights. The villian isn't nearly as imposing, many of the original actors have been replaced for the worse, the effects might have been impressive in 1992, it's filled with extraneous subplots and characters, and, well, basically this movie just plain sucks.
Robin Shou is honestly trying here. You can tell.  Sandra Hess wants to have an acting career, that's obvious... so it's good news for her that she's better than the original actress behind Sonya Blade (Bridgette Wilson). In fact, she's not bad at all. I wouldn't mind horribly if I saw her again... in some other film, of course.
Talisa Soto seems sort of bored with this. She obviously beefed up her martial arts training, but when she's acting, she's rather stiff, just like in the original. Of course, that's Kitana's character for you, I guess. As a side note, her sudden romance with Liu Kang is utterly ludicrous, and has no place here - it's just another piece of excess baggage for the plot to carry. The only person putting forth anything resembeling effort is Litefoot, who plays Nightwolf, at least for the whopping two minutes that he's on the screen. This guy deserves better. James Remar replaces Christopher Lambert as Rayden, and does a shoddy job. Lambert was perfect for this role. However, Remar isn't given much to work with here, anyway.
Our villian, Shao Kahn (Brian Thompson) shouts a lot, but that doesn't mean he's threatening. Kahn's father is more interesting, but doesn't do much.
Johnny Cage, the most fun of the characters in the original, is played by another actor as well (Linden Ashby is having fun doing "Melrose Place" by now), and is killed in the first five minutes. This is pure idiocy at work, people. There's no reason for his death. It just opens up for another comic relief character to appear, Jax, played by Lynn "Red" Williams, previously known as "Sabre" on American Gladiators. He gets a few funny lines, but is no where near as amusing as Johnny Cage was. Williams just tries too hard to be Will Smith. He seems to have some talent buried in him that briefly shines through here and there, but overall, it's not really on display here.
Tons of characters show up for no reason, and bring up sub-plots that have no point. One example is when Sub-Zero (Keith Cooke) appears. He states that the Sub-Zero that Liu Kang killed in the original was his brother, and that a robot, Smoke, has been reprogrammed to go after Kang, instead of original target, Sub-Zero himself. Why was the robot going after Subbie? Why was it reprogrammed? Why did Sub-Zero bother to save Kang? Why did he take up the mantle of his brother? How does he do those cool ice manuvers? Why do none of the writers of this movie care to tell us any of this? Sub-Zero is off the screen about three minutes after he appears, and never comes back. What was the point? Other characters, like Rain (Tyrone Wiggins) and Mileena (Dana Hee), pop up in gaudy costumes and don't even last the three minutes that Sub-Zero does. And who honestly cares about the woman that shows up calling herself Jade (Irina Pantaeva)? This is worse than the "Street Fighter" movie's overflow of characters. What were they thinking?
Considering the advancements in effects since the original KOMBAT, it's also distressing that the effects in this sequel are rather shoddy. In fact, we had some movies that had better CGI effects back in 1992, such as TERMINATOR 2 and ALIEN 3. Oh well. Some things in this movie seemed to be tossed in just because they allowed the chance for cheesy effects. C'mon, did we really need that lame "animality" sub-plot?
At least the soundtrack succeeds in doing what the original's did: it makes hard rock and techno sound good and fun by setting it to martial arts battles, and making those genres of music sound good is not a horribly easy feat. But still, the original's is better.
Overall, this is just another bad sequel. It's about on the level of this year's BATMAN & ROBIN, and that's really a shame. The whole plot is a jumble - it's tough to care much about what's going on. The first one was fun, but this is just a big mess. It looks like 1995's MORTAL KOMBAT remains the only truly *good* video game-based film so far. The mistakes here are so obvious. This should've been better.

The Perfect Husband (Reviewed on Nov. 18/98)
Starring Tim Roth
"The Perfect Husband" is an odd little movie. I've looked it up in all my movie-resource books, including Maltin, and none of them have a listing for it. Even the always reliable Internet Movie Database does not contain one review for it. It has a major star (Tim Roth), so I wonder what happened to it during its release.
No matter. It's an entertaining film about a womanizing opera singer in the 19th century, who finds himself falling in love with a woman he cannot have. Naturally, the womanizer is played by Roth. This is the type of role he excels at; the cocky, self-sure boor who is brought down a few pegs before the film ends. He's great in the film, as are the supporting actors.
There's not much plot here, though. The movie basically follows the Roth character through a few days of his life, and that's it. We don't really get a sense of what he's about.
Also, there's no real reason that the film needs to take place in the 1800's. Everything that occurs in the movie could easily happen in the 90's, with one exception. Roth prides himself on having survived 29 duels. These duels would come about when the husbands of the women he would sleep with would find out, and challenge him. Obviously, this could not happen now. Likely, the irate husband would just flat-out shoot him. There would be no sense of gentlemanly conduct, as displayed in the act of the duel.
"The Perfect Husband" is one of those movies that is instantly forgettable, but you don't notice until it's over.

WANTED: Companies & Cities that need good ideas for a better future
For the past 2 years What If Greenville collected the best 99 character or less ideas the citizen of Greenville had to offer. In that time we've collected over 1,000 ideas, discovered some interesting trends, and made some meaningful connections. Now it's time kick things up a notch.
We're looking for for 15 companies, organizations, and cities that would benefit from having a simple and fun system for collecting good ideas and connecting people to turn those ideas into action.
Our goal is to make the experience of being part of the Builder's Board valuable not only in that you get the use a end product you need, but you get to be part of the process of creating and marketing the product you need. Ultimately, we want everyone to be entering ideas for their city, state, company, and organization into this system. To start with, we want a special 15.
If discovering new ideas and connecting people with ideas is important to you, we should talk. This system will not be a silver bullet for everyone, but being part of the first 15 is a great way to help shape the direction and purpose of the system.
The more people that know, the better off we all are. The sooner we get to 15 the sooner we get to work and that's good for us all.
If there's an idea that you’re ready to turn into a project, let’s talk. Although we're here to help, we’re looking for idea champions who can maintain a project.

Pupils collect PSLE results after overcoming hardships
One had to learn to speak, walk and write again, another has dyspraxia
by Tatiana Mohamad RosliAt seven, Lim Rui Ze lost the ability to speak, walk and write after under going a surgery to remove a cancerous brain tumour.
He had an medulloblastoma, and it took months before he learnt how to hold a pencil again with the help of physiotherapy and occupational therapy.
Lessons at the Children's Cancer Foundation learning centre - Place for Academic Learning and Support - helped keep Rui Ze on track with his peers.
But three sentences were all the Tao Nan School pupil could manage during an English composition examination when he returned to school 15 months later as a Primary 3 pupil.
Yesterday, Rui Ze, now 12, collected his Primary School Leaving Examination results.
The New Paper understands that he is able to progress to secondary school.
His mother, Madam Shereen Wong, 41, quit her job as a teacher to take care of him.
When he was in Primary 3 and 4, she attended lessons with him and took notes so that he could focus in class. During recess, she would sit with Rui Ze in a meeting room to help him eat.
His teachers would roster two classmates at a time to spend recess with him as they were worried he would feel left out.
Speaking to the media at Tao Nan School in Marine Crescent, Rui Ze's father, Mr Lim Wei Hong, 41, said his son was allowed to use a computer for two PSLE papers - English and science.
The general manager said: "When he started writing again, it took him a while to learn how to write in between the lines. But he has improved a lot now. He may need extra time and help, but I am very proud of him."
Another student who received his results yesterday was Tejas Changaroth, 12, from St Gabriel's Primary School.
When The New Paper arrived at the school, he was beaming.
Eligible for the Normal (Academic) course, his results will be a ticket to pursue his dream as a broadcast journalist.
Tejas had been accepted by Holy Innocents' High School through Direct School Admission via its niche area of broadcast and journalism.
When he was nine, he was diagnosed with a developmental disorder of the brain, dyspraxia, at the severe scale.
Tejas struggled with motor skills and coordination, sometimes unable to tell between basic directions.
Mathematics, said his mother Shyamala Menon, was Tejas' greatest challenge.
The speech and drama teacher, 50, told TNP: "Long equations are the hardest. He gets lost along the multiple steps. His classmates would have moved on but he would still be lagging behind."
Tejas' teachers advised him to take the subject at the Foundation level, for which he got a grade three, meaning he scored in the 50 to 69 mark range.
"I just want him to be happy. He tried his best, and that is all that matters," said Madam Shyamala.
Rui Ze and Tejas were among the 40,256 Primary 6 pupils who received their PSLE results.
For four years running, 98.4 per cent of this year's cohort progressed to secondary school.
Of that, 66.3 per cent was eligible for the Express course, 21 per cent for the Normal (Academic) course and 11.2 per cent for Normal (Technical).
A total of 634 students, or 1.6 per cent, are not qualified for the three courses and may choose to re-attempt the PSLE next year.
Alternatively, they can apply to Assumption Pathway School or NorthLight School for a more hands-on learning approach.
Students eligible for secondary schools may submit their choices online till next Wednesday, 3pm. The Secondary 1 posting results will be released on Dec 20.

Ecclesiastes 12:14
For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.


Puigbò, Jordi-Ysard and Vouloutsi, Vasiliki and Moulin-Frier, Clément and Verschure, Paul FMJ.
We propose a model integrating a reactive and an adaptive control loops for social learning in the context of humanrobot interaction. We equip a humanoid iCub robot with a set of homeostatic social drives, or needs. Homeostatic drives define a comfort zone (CZ) within a range of sensory data, and elicit reactive actions when outside of the CZ. These needs are related to physical and speech interactions and are modeled as a set of decaying dynamical systems. For example, the need for speech interaction increases with time as long as the robot does not perceive any speech sound from the human. Out of its comfort zone, the reactive actions are synthesized speech sentences and body movements supposed to attract the attention of the human. On top of these reactive homeostatic regulators, an adaptive controller learns from experience how to anticipate actions to avoid the crossing of the comfort zone boundaries. This anticipation is learned from a neurocomputational model of the cerebellum. We show how these mechanisms allow the robot to learn the appropriate timing of its own actions with respect to those of the human in order to maintain the social interaction over the time.

Cacti - T. Peruvianus & Cannabis
I ordered 125 grams of Peruvian Torch powder from an online retailer. As soon as the powder touched hot water, it expanded into this green slime. About 6 large tablespoons mixed with water made a full bowl of of this slimy, awfully bitter stuff.
I've tripped before, only having sucess with Dxm and Salvia Divinorum. Tried shrooms twice, no effects. Tried san pedro twice, no effects, even tried a rare supposively high potent cactus concuzonsis... no effects either. I'm young, good lookin', and psychedelics have intrested me since I've started smoking pot 2 years ago. I train in the martial arts, majorly devoted to art, and philosophy. Surfing, writing, and meditation are some of my other favorites. Now to the journey.
After downing the gross cactus, which took about 30 minutes to get all the way down. I looked at the clock-it was 7:45. I started feeling a very weird feverish intoxication-very simliar to Dxm, but different. I also got some naseau, but it wasn't bad. After a couple hours, I knew that I was going to trip... I could feel it still building and I was starting to get waves and tracers. I took a walk around the Ocean Lakes area, walking towards the old High school I graduated years ago from. I felt warm, soft, and empathetic.
I called a friend while walking, and talked about life. The conversation got so deep that I was in tears. I then told her It was comming on strong and I would call her later to tell her what was happening. I approached the school, and saw how it had changed. I walked around the back, and saw new portables and fence blocking off the area that had once been a large field.
'You fuckers' I said outloud.
The school had been so beautiful, now it looked like a big construction site. I layed in a few areas and right on the 50 yard line-hoping that this was not the peak I was gonna get. It had been 3 hours, and I still was not getting anything profound. I decided to head home.
The walk home was very strange. Everything was slowing down, and I became aware, of EVERYTHING. I could see insects floating past, birds flying, and cawing. I walked along this lake, and became aware of how high the waters were. Finally I made it home and my cat-which normally is too timid to come near me, approached me and asked me to feed her. I felt extreme empathy and spoiled her, even giving her ice cream. I looked into her eyes and felt the deepest connection. Like I was actually understanding her. I think she knew, she purred and rubbed against me when I came near-normally she just runs away.
I walked upstairs and layed there, listening to various songs on my Ipod before slowly drifting away. As a first time tripper(on mescaline) I would like to comment on what to expect. Hallucinations aren't what you think they are, they're not just a lightshow or just visual hallucinations, what is more profound is the noise and alienness that is going on in your brain.
The first hallucination I got, was when I was laying on my side, with no headphones on-and I started picturing an orchestra of weird intstruments-each playing awful-off key notes. It came in waves, slowly taking me, then wavering off, then commming again. It was like a dance of thoughts... a dance of intresting, playful thoughts. I was listening to a song by Peyote healing song, and I finally understood the whole concept of the song. The whole thing is a joke, and thats what the trip was teaching me.
I would have thoughts that my brain was fried, and I would never come back. Then I would remind myself, 'Your on drugs, this is what drugs do.' I never freaked out or wanted the experiance to stop-but I did feel some slight anxiety. I figured taking a couple bullhits would be intresting. I did, and the high really kinda took over the slightly uncomfortable mescaline body feeling. Now I felt really good. I layed on my bed again, and the experiance intesified large. My thoughts became waves of random memories, sounds, and intresting phenomenom. At this point I started having powerful visual hallucinations.
I remember listening to Deftones-Pins and Needles-and feeling like I was watching a weird music video.  I tried looking at the clock, but it was hard to see the bright red letters, I had to focus and unfocus my eyes several times before I realized that it was about 2 O clock, and that the peak, hadn't hit me until about 5 hours or so later. Bigtime comeup.
Slowly, the profound effects started to taper off. I was still hallucinating very heavily... but I was basically back to reality. I put in the movie, 'Renegade', which is basically about tripping on Peyote and discovered little details that you normally can't see. The whole movie was made to watch while your tripping, I don't know if it was me or the movie, but I saw hallucinations in the movie, even when the hallucination scenes werent present. At one point, I felt caught in a loop, like I had just watched the movie and seen the same scene over and over again.
 I had to be to work at 7 and I couldn't call in. I just don't do those kind of things. I figured maybe I could hide it. So I took a shower (very nice experiance)-a lot of colors and nice feelings from the hot water. Got dressed and made my way to work. Along the way there, I noticed how bright everythign was in the morning. Trees and plants gained powerful signifigance. I knew they lived and respected them as they were. I could still see little insects everywhere, flying past me. Mescaline really gives you the oppertunity to become one with nature.
At work, no one noticed my intoxication. Conversating with normal people on mescaline is a very weird experiance. I was much more social, and much much more of an aphrodiasiac to women. I noticed body language like I would never before. I looked at people, and I could feel thier thoughts and understood all thier behavior. I told my manager that it looks like he had not had fun in a long time, and that the resturaunt was getting to him, and he needed to take a vacation. Suprisingly, he opened up to me and talked about how he felt the same way. He never talks to anyone.
I noticed girls, more than anying, and became aware that a lot of girls have a crush on me. Not to sound arrogant, but I just became so aware of how attractive I was to women. In a way, I feel like this will forever change my self confidence. Working wasn't too difficult, provided that I didn't try to perform any tasks that involved too much thinking. I came home later, it was aprox 4 pm, I still felt minor effects, but for the most part, everything was down. I went to sleep and awoke at around 8, with no effects or hangover.
In retrospect, mescaline is one of the best drugs I've ever tried. I learned so much from JUST one trip. Marijuana is nice, but its not powerful or concious expanding enough to get too much. I notice that while on mescaline, and looking at a few potheads at work-and noticed how dull pot had made thier spirit. I saw them as useless drones that cared about nothing, not even themselves. Pity, I thought. DXM is cold and unforgiving. Salvia is visually simliar to mescaline, but not as powerful as far as actually 'tripping'. I will repeat the experiance again, but next time not with a partner, and more prepared with no work ahead.

Death toll in Mali attack rises to 30 soldiers: army
by ReutersBAMAKO (Reuters) - The death toll from an attack against an army patrol in northern Mali has risen to 30 from an earlier count of 24, army spokesman Diarran Kone told Reuters on Tuesday.
The attack on Monday in the Gao region was the third large-scale strike against Malian forces in the last two months in parts of the country where jihadist groups are mounting increasingly sophisticated operations.
No one has yet claimed responsibility for Monday's attack.
An attack on an army post in early November, which killed at least 53 soldiers, was claimed by an Islamic State affiliate, while coordinated raids in late September that killed 38 soldiers were claimed by al Qaeda's West Africa affiliate.

Preparation time

Cooking time
10 to 30 mins
Serves
Serves 4
Use a whole jointed chicken to give maximum flavour in this comforting classic. Best served on creamy mash.
Place a large casserole over a high heat, add the stock, white wine, pearl onions and thyme and bring to a simmer.
Add the chicken, including the carcass and return to a simmer.
Add the button mushrooms, then cover and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Remove the casserole from the heat and lift out the chicken, discarding the carcass.
Whisk the egg yolks and cream together in a bowl, then gradually add to the casserole, mixing well as you pour – if the pan is too hot, the eggs will cook too quickly and curdle the sauce.
Return the chicken to the pan then check the seasoning, adding salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste. Finally stir in the parsley.
For the mash, place the potatoes into a pan of cold, salted water and bring to the boil.
Reduce the heat and simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Drain and return to the pan, then place over a low heat for a couple of minutes to dry the potatoes slightly.
Tip the potatoes back into a colander and then pass through a ricer.
Add the butter and milk (or cream) and beat to form a very smooth mash, then season to taste with salt and black pepper.
To serve, spoon the mash into bowls, then top with two pieces of chicken and a ladleful of sauce.

Sleep. A human universal, no?
Perhaps. Sleep. When we sleep, if we do not dream,
then it seems that we wake as soon as we drift off.
Awake, time seems to move by at a speed.
Sleeping, time seems to slip away instantly.
Really, then, isn't sleep just a function of waking?
A way of making time progress. Not that only, of course.
Nonetheless, to think of sleeping and waking as two discrete entities would be foolishness. The sleeper is merely the waker having slept. Likewise, the waker is the woken sleeper. What are we to make of this?
The one is what you are. It'a not a He. It's not a who. It is.
Knowing this, you know all there is to know. Don't concern yourself with anything beyond this assertion. If you're lucky, you improved your vocabulary today. If you're really lucky, you may have permanently altered your understanding of yourself. Congratulations to those few lucky winners.
Forget everything, and remember...

 Analysis is traditionally conducted using spreadsheets. Challenges include: + The software must be installed on the user’s computer. + The user must be familiar with the formula for calculation of the indicator of interest. + Because of the point-and-click nature of the analysis, it is error-prone. Sometimes these errors go unnoticed by the users giving a rather false result. + Performing the same analysis periodically can be quite tedious and time-consuming as the analysis is usually done afresh every time. --- background-image: url("./snips/abuja R ladies.jpg") background-size: 100px background-position: 95% 5% ## {tidyndr} - Workflow  .footnote[Artwork by @allison_horst] --- background-image: url("https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7e/Mudra-Naruto-KageBunshin.svg") background-size: 100px background-position: 95% 95% ## {tidyndr} ~ tidyverse .pull-left[ - tidyverse group of packages - janitor - vroom - lubridate - purrr ] .pull-right[] .footnote[Artwork by @allison_horst] --- background-image: url("./snips/abuja R ladies.jpg") background-size: 100px background-position: 95% 5% ## {tidyndr} - the package ```r # from CRAN install.packages("tidyndr", dependencies = TRUE) # developmental version from github devtools::install_github("stephenbalogun/tidyndr", build_vignettes = TRUE) ## practice data file_path <- "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/stephenbalogun/abuja_r_ladies/main/ndr_example.csv" ``` why do: `$$s = \sum_{i=1}^nX_i\frac{(x - \bar{x})^2}{n}$$` When you can just do: `$$s = var(x)$$` --- background-image: url(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/39/Naruto_Shiki_Fujin.svg) background-size: 100px background-position: 95% 95% ## Package Organization #### Importing function ``` read_ndr() ``` #### Treatment function ``` 1. tx_new() 2. tx_curr() 3. tx_appointment() 4. tx_ml() 5. tx_ml_outcomes() 6. tx_rtt() 7. tx_mmd() ``` --- background-image: url("./snips/abuja R ladies.jpg") background-size: 100px background-position: 95% 5% ## Package Organization - 2 #### Viral Load functions ``` 1. tx_vl_eligible() 2. tx_pvls_den() 3. tx_pvls_num() 4. tx_vl_unsuppressed() ``` #### Summary functions ``` 1. summarise_ndr() 2. disaggregate() ``` See: ``` vignette(package = "tidyndr", topic = "tidyndr") vignette(package = "tidyndr", topic = "Augmenting-tidyndr") ``` --- background-image: url("https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/be/Sharingan_triple.svg") background-size: 100px background-position: 95% 95% ## The AchieveR app - A shiny application. - Interactive dashboard built on the {tidyndr} functions.

They now entered the house, and as an interested group, watched Jinjur, at Ozma’s command, build a fire and put a kettle of water over to boil. The Ruler of Oz stood before the fire silent and grave, while the others, realizing that an important ceremony of magic was about to be performed, stood quietly in the background so as not to interrupt Ozma’s proceedings. Only Polychrome kept going in and coming out, humming softly to herself as she danced, for the Rainbow’s Daughter could not keep still for long, and the four walls of a room always made her nervous and ill at ease. She moved so noiselessly, however, that her movements were like the shifting of sunbeams and did not annoy anyone.
When the water in the kettle bubbled, Ozma drew from her bosom two tiny packets containing powders. These powders she threw into the kettle and after briskly stirring the contents with a branch from a macaroon bush, Ozma poured the mystic broth upon a broad platter which Jinjur had placed upon the table. As the broth cooled it became as silver, reflecting all objects from its smooth surface like a mirror.
While her companions gathered around the table, eagerly attentive—and Dorothy even held little Toto in her arms that he might see—Ozma waved her wand over the mirror-like surface. At once it reflected the interior of Yoop Castle, and in the big hall sat Mrs. Yoop, in her best embroidered silken robes, engaged in weaving a new lace apron to replace the one she had lost.
The Giantess seemed rather uneasy, as if she had a faint idea that someone was spying upon her, for she kept looking behind her and this way and that, as though expecting danger from an source. Perhaps some Yookoohoo instinct warned her. Woot saw that she had escaped from her room by some of the magical means at her disposal, after her prisoners had escaped her. She was now occupying the big hall of her castle as she used to do. Also Woot thought, from the cruel expression on the face of the Giantess, that she was planning revenge on them, as soon as her new magic apron was finished.
But Ozma was now making passes over the platter with her silver Wand, and presently the form of the Giantess began to shrink in size and to change its shape. And now, in her place sat the form of Woot the Wanderer, and as if suddenly realizing her transformation Mrs. Yoop threw down her work and rushed to a looking-glass that stood against the wall of her room. When she saw the boy’s form reflected as her own, she grew violently angry and dashed her head against the mirror, smashing it to atoms.
Just then Ozma was busy with her magic Wand, making strange figures, and she had also placed her left hand firmly upon the shoulder of the Green Monkey. So now, as all eyes were turned upon the platter, the form of Mrs. Yoop gradually changed again. She was slowly transformed into the Green Monkey, and at the same time Woot slowly regained his natural form.
It was quite a surprise to them all when they raised their eyes from the platter and saw Woot the Wanderer standing beside Ozma. And, when they glanced at the platter again, it reflected nothing more than the walls of the room in Jinjur’s house in which they stood. The magic ceremonial was ended, and Ozma of Oz had triumphed over the wicked Giantess.
“What will become of her, I wonder?” said Dorothy, as she drew a long breath.
“She will always remain a Green Monkey,” replied Ozma, “and in that form she will be unable to perform any magical arts whatsoever. She need not be unhappy, however, and as she lives all alone in her castle she probably won’t mind the transformation very much after she gets used to it.”
“Anyhow, it serves her right,” declared Dorothy, and all agreed with her.
“But,” said the kind hearted Tin Woodman, “I’m afraid the Green Monkey will starve, for Mrs. Yoop used to get her food by magic, and now that the magic is taken away from her, what can she eat?”
“Why, she’ll eat what other monkeys do,” returned the Scarecrow. “Even in the form of a Green Monkey, she’s a very clever person, and I’m sure her wits will show her how to get plenty to eat.”
“Don’t worry about her,” advised Dorothy. “She didn’t worry about you, and her condition is no worse than the condition she imposed on poor Woot. She can’t starve to death in the Land of Oz, that’s certain, and if she gets hungry at times it’s no more than the wicked thing deserves. Let’s forget Mrs. Yoop; for, in spite of her being a Yookoohoo, our fairy friends have broken all of her transformations.”

Code Wars II
Danger Level: Black
}McFood Lines~
Point Value: 14
Problem Statement
Did somebody say McFood? This problem is all about your McFood!
It seems the bigwigs at McFood want
to study how people respond to long lines in their restaurants, and you're
going to help them by writing a program to simulate people getting in line
and ordering McFood. No cutting in line, now...
Program Input
There are two input files associated with this problem. The first file, MCFOOD.DAT, is a data file listing all the McFood items available to order. Each item is listed by name along with the average amount of time required to retrieve that McFood item in seconds.. Here are some example lines from that file:
ITEM=Double Pounder;TIME=45
ITEM=Soda;TIME=20
ITEM=McChitterlings;TIME=71
ITEM=McPasta;TIME=53
ITEM=Big Mic;TIME=35
ITEM=French Fries;TIME=28
ITEM=Salad;TIME=17
ITEM=Nuglets;TIME=24
ITEM=Tea;TIME=20
ITEM=McPeanut Butter Sandwich;TIME=39
The second input file specifies (1) the number of lines to simulate, (2) the people who enter the restaurant (patrons), (3) the time at which each patron enters, and (4) what McFood each patron orders.
The exact format is as follows: The first line indicates the number of lines to simulate in the restaurant. This number may vary between 1 and 10, inclusive. The remaining file is separated into time segments divided by lines with the text TIME=N. After an individual TIME=N line, each patron is listed who is to enter the restaurant at that time. One or more people may be specified for this time. Thereafter the file may contain another TIME=N line, followed by more patrons, indefinitely. the value of N in the line TIME=N is measured in tens of seconds; that is, TIME=2 means "at the time 20 seconds after the beginning of the simulation." The simulation begins at TIME=0 (zero).
Each patron record is started with a NAME=qqq line, where qqq is the patron's name. This is followed by on or more lines of ITEM=xxx;COUNT=c, indicating an item the patron wishes to order, followed by the number of those items. Here's an example input file:
LINES: 3
TIME=0
NAME=Bill
ITEM=Double Pounder;COUNT=1
ITEM=Big Mic;COUNT=2
ITEM=French Fries;COUNT=3
ITEM=Soda;COUNT=2
NAME=Vaneesha
ITEM=Salad;COUNT=1
ITEM=Soda;COUNT=1
TIME=2
NAME=Kathleen
ITEM=Double Pounder;COUNT=1
ITEM=French Fries;COUNT=1
ITEM=Nuglets;COUNT=1
ITEM=French Fries;COUNT=1
ITEM=Soda;COUNT=2

Program Output
The program should print the name
of each patron to separate line in the output file PROB16.OUT. Each
output line should also include which McFood line served the patron, and
two times:
1. the
patron's wait time, in minutes & seconds, from restaurant entry to
transaction completion, and
2. the
simulation's clock time, in seconds, at transaction completion.
The output lines should appear in
the output file sorted by simulation clock time.
Because items can be retrieved in
parallel, you should subtract 10 seconds from the total time required for
each item above one that an individual patron orders. (i.e., 2 items
means subtract 10 seconds, 3 items means 20 seconds, etc.) If the
patron orders a McFood item that the restaurant doesn't serve, then ignore
the item, but add fifteen seconds for the delay from the confusion.
To account for the time required to place the order, add an additional
7 seconds for each ITEM=xxx line for that patron (regardless of the item
count).
Finally, add another 17 seconds
to pay for the McFood.
If a line becomes empty while another
line has more than one patron, the patron at the end of the longest line
moves to the empty line. In the case of two lines tied for longest,
select the patron from the highest numbered line, i.e., line 5 over line
2. Upon entry into the restaurant, patrons should be assigned to
a line according to these rules:
1. the
patron first chooses the shortest line.
2. if two
or more lines are equal in length, the patron chooses the line with the
lowest number. i.e., she chooses line 2 over line 5.
Here is the output for the above sample input file:
Vaneesha was served in line 2; wait
time = 0:58; sim time = 58s
Hyung was served in line 2; wait time
= 1:52; sim time = 182s
Kathleen was served in line 3; wait
time = 2:47; sim time = 187s
Bill was served in line 1; wait time
= 3:34; sim time = 214s
Piotr was served in line 2; wait time
= 1:46; sim time = 288s
