The key is stripped of any redundant letters, then the English alphabet is stripped of all key letters and appended to the key.
This is the keyed alphabet.
Each password letter is replaced with its position in the English alphabet (A is replaced with 1). This resulting sequence of numbers is written repeatedly beneath the plaintext.
Take the number below the plaintext letter and add it to the letter's position in the keyed alphabet. In version 2, also add it to the English alphabet position of whatever letter happens to be first in the keyed alphabet.
If this number is greater than 26, repeatedly subtract 26 until it isn't.
The letter at that position in the keyed alphabet becomes the newest ciphertext letter.
In order to further scramble the keyed alphabet, locate the plaintext letter and new ciphertext letter, and swap their places within it.

I had attained a capsule of 20-mg of 2c-i from a friend in class who had bought a bunch from an online supplier and had been selling. Because i often bought morphine from him, he let me have it for free. I took the capsule at Musical practice around 4:30. Practice ended around 5:30, and by then the effects were coming up.
2c-i takes a long time to hit some people, but when i does, it hits hard and fast. Driving about 3 blocks from school to a restaurant (i was not driving, my girlfriend was), the effects really started moving.
Physically: a little anxiety, energy, lots of smiling and very positive mood swing, talking. Pupils massively dilated.
Visually, the effects were more interesting. The walls in the restaurant had a light pattern on them of randmon light and dark beige patches. These patches swirled somewhat, but mostly melted upward into the ceiling. It was amazing to watch, and i spent most of the time looking at it.
When we returned to school for choir practice, my girlfriend wanted to make out. We snuck into the Performance Classroom and kissed on center stage. I looked out into the audience and the horizontal lines fromed by the rows of seats were undulating slowly.  We went back stage and tried to kiss, but whenever i'd close my eyes i'd see this bright blue light and becuase my mood was so elevated, i couldn't help but laugh. So we had to stop.
Our antics made us late for practice, and then i had to learn a new dance. This was hard becuase by that time i was really out of it and couldnt control my movements very well. I basically just smiled and tried to keep up, mostly wishing that i could sit down. The strange physical sensations were much like DXM- tingling, and a weird sort of mechanical feeling. I dont know how to describe it. Its not unpleasant or pleasant, just weird. Anyhow, dancing felt good, but it felt even better to watch the stripes in the wood floor move and wave.
Eventually, we finished and sat on the floor listening to a new song we were going to learn. The music had the effect of lifting me up and i felt like i was floating, just sitting there. It was amazing, especially the sound of bass. Later, my girlfriend said that my heart was beating really hard. When we were driving home, it was also fun: i kept thinking we would drive off the road. Again, i wasnt driving-- color me responsible. When i got home i still had the patterning of colors and shapes. I went to my room and tried to do homework, but the words just swam around the page. I turned on some triplights and off the others, lay in bed and watched the shadows roil. It was beautiful: i had a blue light on and the shadows were blue and dark blue and moving all over.
IN SUMMARY-- whew. Probably one of my favorite trips. I havent had much experience with psychedelics, and i'd only tried 2c-i once before at a way-too-low dose of 12.5 mg, but seeing things that werent real, and knowing that they werent, was amazingly entertaining. It is a beautiful, fun drug and i didnt think it was scary at all. It was EXTREMELY intense, but certainlly very fun. I am currently in search of more.

What is Regex? How to use it and ease some tasks
What are regular expressions?
I heard a lot about regular expressions before I first used and I must admit they seemed complex to me. I got interested even though I could not tell what I could use them for. After some classes at UFMG I understood the concept behind it. “A language is said to be regular if there is a finite-state machine (FSM) that recognises it”. Knowing that regular expressions, as well as regular grammar, regular languages and fnm are just formalities that can be transformed into each other, we can see an example of them with a state diagram (final states have two borders):
Well this FSM accepts any number of ‘0’ higher than just one( ‘A’ is not a final state) and it can ends with a ‘0’ or any number of ‘1’ (‘Z’ and ‘B’ are final states and B can continue with the transition B->B with a ‘1’). To test Regex I use this awesome site Regexr that highlights the entries that would give a match(or a part of them that would). So the word ‘00001111’ or ‘1111’ would match, however ‘10000’ or ‘000010’ would not (see that regex breaks into two strings that matches because of global flag).The corresponding regex would be like this:
The syntax
I struggled to understand how to write regex, but you get used to it. I’m going to explain here what I find useful. In the example before I used 3 tokens from regex:
- * : Match 0 or more of the preceding token.
- + : Match 1 or more of the preceding token.
- | : Equivalent to OR.
There are a lot of other important tokens, some of them are:
- . : Match any character (except for line breaks).
- \w : Match any word.
- \d : Match any digit.
- \s : Match space.
- ^ : Match the following at the beginning of the string.
- $ : Match the preceding at the end of the string.
Using Regex to get data from a text
In order to do such thing, we need to create groups. The tokens to do that are “(“ “)”. To insert these groups you have to use $1 in case of the first group, $2 second and so on. Let’s suppose I used a crawler - see my post on scraping pages with ruby - to retrieve last posts on Reddit of Dota 2 and the strings I got looks like this:
TRICK THE SYSTEM FOR EZ SOLO MMRTip (self.DotA2) 298 commentssharecancel Congratulations to the winners of the StarLadder Season 11 LAN Finals! 359 commentssharecancel
I want to get the quantity of comments each topic has, so I’ve made a regex to select that, see the ruby code for extracting that part of the string ( all the strings are in this post_texts array):
I’ve made two groups, one for the title ($1) and another one for comments ($2), the output of running the script today is:
Using Regex to replace/remove parts of the string
Sublime - a really nice text editor - has the option to use Regex expressions in replacing(ctrl+h) . In Ruby, gsub() accepts a regex as a first parameter and the thing you want to replace it for as a second parameter. I use both constantly, as I handle a lot of messy inputs from the web.
Before
\n\t\tThis is an example text \nfor Guz’s blog :DD of number 311
After
311º post : This is an example text for Guz’s blog :DD
Conclusion
It goes without saying that I use Regex a lot in my code, It really saves me time. Of course that purely programming we can achieve the same processing power that a Regex has, after all, regular expressions are the first set of Chomsky hierarchy- regular -, and programming languages are equivalent to turing’s machine ( recursively enumerable languages being a formality for it).
There are a lot of uses for regular expressions, such as matching RGB colors, Validating URLS and Emails, Phone Numbers, IP Address, etc. On Regexr you can see under the ‘Community ‘ tab, a lot of them ordered by reviews. To conclude I just want to add that the FSM image was taken from Newton José Vieira handout.

BAMBOOZLED
Reviewed by Harvey Karten New Line Cinema/40 Acres and a Mule Director: Spike Lee Writer: Spike Lee Cast: Damon Wayans, Savion Glover, Jada Pinkett, Tommy Davidson, Michael Rapaport
Though creating an ambiguous central character in his most mature work, "Bamboozled," Spike Lee harbors no ambivalence in his overall viewpoint, which (as I see it) is this: Each period in history finds a class that oppresses and a group that is oppressed. The oppressed may freely parody the actions of the people in power. Satire is a creative way of deflating the powerful with ridicule. Satire, however, is inexcusable if used by the strong against the weak. If white people in general have the upper hand against black people, they may not in good conscience use their power to poke fun at African-Americans. Whites may, however, mock other whites, which makes movies like "The Three Stooges" permissible. Whites may not ethically have anything to do with subjugating members of minority groups--who have traditionally been on the raw end of the stick throughout U.S. history.
To illustrate his viewpoint long and hard but with a great deal of laughter and general entertainment value, Lee poses a scenario in which the white vice president of a major TV network, Dunwitty (Michael Rapaport), concerned about the plummeting ratings of his station, encourages his one black writer, Pierre Delacroix (Damon Wayans) to push the envelope. Delacroix, a successful, Harvard-educated man with an affected upper-class accent, is sufficiently humiliated with his role at a network that has little room for African- Americans on its staff to want out. Since he cannot violate his contract by quitting, he creates a show that is politically so outrageously incorrect that he expects the pilot to be rejected and presumes that he will be canned without violating his employment agreement. Trouble ensues when the program instead becomes a huge hit.
What Delacroix has done is to create essentially a minstrel show, the type of entertainment that began in the U.S. in 1840 in which blacks are stereotyped as ignorant and willing to follow the orders of the ruling whites without question. (The show is so politically incorrect that in fact the New York Times refused to accept advertising from the studio that features African-Americans in blackface as "too demeaning.") Delacroix hires a couple of desperate individuals, Manray (Savion Glover) and Womack (Tommy Davidson), a street- peddling tap dancer and his promoter respectively, giving them roles as Mantan and Sleep 'n' Eat, and taping a weekly show with stage characters in blackface in historically debasing characterizations--including a band of pickaninnies and Alabama Porch Monkeys who eat watermelon with gusto and dance up a storm. As the program soars in ratings, Delacroix becomes more conflicted, torn between his hatred of his own father's humiliating role as a stand-up, black- hating comic, his mother's race-conscious conscience, and the increasing disgust of his attractive assistant, Sloan Hopkins (Jada Pinkett-Smith.
Regardless of our antipathy toward the long abandoned era of blackface, Aunt Jemimas, and the slew of cartoons (which Lee trots out with relish toward the conclusion of the film), we in the audience cannot help being entertained by what transpires on the stage and to be absorbed in the backstage manipulations of the writer, his boss, and a group of so-called Mau Maus headed by Big Black (Mos Def) who are absolutely appalled by the degradation they witness from Delacroix's performers on TV. There is little doubt where Spike Lee's sympathies lie, and while the Mau Maus ultimately take extreme action to end the successful TV series, Mr. Lee is obviously furious at the entire chronicle of white exploitation of blacks and by blacks who allow themselves to be manipulated by taking part in the designs of the so-called ruling class. We suspect that even a program that many would consider fairly innocuous like The Jeffersons would strike a sour note in Lee's consciousness but that a production such as The Cosby Show would be more to his liking. As Lee ultimately demonstrates in his movie, the blacks who take part in the designs of white TV producers very much share in the guilt. "There is always a choice," says one of the characters, and we do see indications that at least one of the performers in the network weekly series is perfectly willing to give up his perks and return to a life of integrity and poverty.
Lee's principal flaw this time around is his lack of cohesiveness in designing a movie that plays more like a series of fun skits than a solid narrative. Repeating the acts of the pickaninnies and the principal players over and over gains no additional points for Mr. Lee and in fact the overkill takes away from his contentions as does the contrived, melodramatic ending. Damon Wayans is particularly notable in demonstrating a direction that tears him apart on the one hand in his liking for material success and on the other by his collaboration with the power structure in degrading his people. Other stand-outs are Savion Glover, who taps up a storm as he did on Broadway recently in "Noise/Funk" and Michael Rapaport as the white vice president who feels he has the right to use the "N" word because his wife is black and his kids are bi-racial. Johnnie Cochran and Al Sharpton make cameo appearances as themselves, rallying the troops against the reactionary TV series. The film could have been better with more attention to structure and a more generous use of the editor's shears.

To include it, add the below dependency to your project. ``` // build.gradle.kts implementation("androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-livedata-core-ktx:2.6.1") // build.gradle implementation 'androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-livedata-core-ktx:2.6.1' // build.gradle.kts with version catalogs: implementation(libs.lifecycle-livedata-core-ktx) # libs.versions.toml [versions] lifecycle-livedata-core-ktx = "2.6.1" [libraries] lifecycle-livedata-core-ktx = { module = "androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-livedata-core-ktx", version.ref = "lifecycle-livedata-core-ktx" } ``` 2.6.1 is the version this documentation was generated from; there may be newer versions available. [Additional details about androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-livedata-core-ktx](androidx_lifecycle_lifecycle-livedata-core-ktx.md.html). (##) Suppressing You can suppress false positives using one of the following mechanisms: * Using a suppression annotation like this on the enclosing element: ```kt // Kotlin @Suppress("NullSafeMutableLiveData") fun method() { problematicStatement() } ``` or ```java // Java @SuppressWarnings("NullSafeMutableLiveData") void method() { problematicStatement(); } ``` * Using a suppression comment like this on the line above: ```kt //noinspection NullSafeMutableLiveData problematicStatement() ``` * Using a special `lint.xml` file in the source tree which turns off the check in that folder and any sub folder. A simple file might look like this: ```xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <lint> <issue id="NullSafeMutableLiveData" severity="ignore" /> </lint> ``` Instead of `ignore` you can also change the severity here, for example from `error` to `warning`. You can find additional documentation on how to filter issues by path, regular expression and so on [here](https://googlesamples.github.io/android-custom-lint-rules/usage/lintxml.md.html). * In Gradle projects, using the DSL syntax to configure lint. For example, you can use something like ```gradle lintOptions { disable 'NullSafeMutableLiveData' } ``` In Android projects this should be nested inside an `android { }` block. * For manual invocations of `lint`, using the `--ignore` flag: ``` $ lint --ignore NullSafeMutableLiveData ...` ``` * Last, but not least, using baselines, as discussed [here](https://googlesamples.github.io/android-custom-lint-rules/usage/baselines.md.html).

The likelihood of direct CAR models and Binomial and Poisson GLM with latent CAR variables are approximated by the Monte Carlo likelihood. The Maximum Monte Carlo likelihood estimator is found either by an iterative procedure of directly maximising the Monte Carlo approximation or by a response surface design method.Reference for the method can be found in the DPhil thesis in Z. Sha (2016). For application a good reference is R.Bivand et.al (2017) <doi:10.1016/j.spasta.2017.01.002>.

Tidbits, history, and statistics about elevators
Despite the fact that we use elevators every day, we seldom think about the sheer amount of work they do or how we ended up with this technology. Let’s take a look at their history and some interesting facts about this vital form of transportation.
First, some statistics on elevator usage:
Here are some historical facts according to ElevatorHistory:
There were 24 elevators used in the Roman Coliseum, which were manually operated by over 200 slaves The first public building elevator was installed in a nine-story building in New York City Elevator music first appeared in the 1920s to calm fearful passengers who were using elevators for the first time
Famous elevators around the world:
The history of elevators
The first elevators may have appeared in ancient Greece. They were invented by the mathematician Archimedes around 235 BC and used a system of pulleys and winches. Some believe elevators may have been around even longer than that, as archeologists have found shafts that might have been used for elevators by several ancient civilizations. Elevators were definitely present in the Roman Coliseum, and small basket elevators were used to transport people and goods up to mountain monasteries during the Middle Ages.
The inventions of hydraulics and electricity brought about the first modern elevators. In 1852, American inventor Elisha Graves Otis created the first safety device that prevented the cabin from falling if the main cable broke. The device was demonstrated in New York’s Crystal Palace in 1854. The first passenger elevator was installed in 1857, but it wasn’t until the 1870s that elevators began showing up in office buildings. German inventor Werner von Seimer built the first electric elevator in 1880.
The early days of elevators
According to Fast Co. Design, elevators were once called movable rooms. “They featured chandeliers and elaborate furniture and carpeting. Passengers sat down and got comfortable before being catapulted onto another floor.”
It was once thought that vertical travel could make you sick. There was actually a condition called “elevator sickness” which was thought to be caused by the sudden movement of internal organs when the elevator stopped.
A couple more things to think about …
No elevators … no penthouse
Before elevators, the upper floors of a house or hotel were reserved for servants or low-rent tenants, who were stuck having to walk up flights of stairs. The advent of elevators meant the rich could easily travel to upper floors. They realized the view from the top was amazing, which led to the concept of the penthouse.
No elevators … no mega cities
Without elevators, we wouldn’t have the famous skylines of places like New York, Chicago, and other cities around the world with immense skyscrapers. Every building would be no more than 5 or 6 stories tall. Elevators have truly transformed our modern world.

This document describes:
The Logic Server API supports:
Amzi! Prolog + Logic Server can be readily ported to any platform that supports C++, and might have already been ported for your environment. Let us know if you are interested.
Amzi! Prolog + Logic Server is distributed as a packed archive file or in an installation package. The full system will be installed in an 'amzi' directory with two subdirectories. One contains the core files, 'apls', and the other the IDE, 'ide', which is a version of Eclipse pre-setup for Prolog development. The two directories will look like:
amzi apls Set AMZI_DIR to this directory for Logic Server development bin Executables, put on your PATH to run command line utilities abin Prolog binaries docs Documentation ... Other directories ide eclipse(.exe) The IDE ... Supporting directories for the IDE
To extract the files, put the archive(s) in your root or user directory or whatever directory you want to contain the directory tree. Then follow the appropriate instructions for your operating system.
Follow the install intructions for the installation program. The installation will also attempt to modify the environment variables as follows:
Note that the environment variables are not necessary for running the IDE, but are useful when you are building applications with the Logic Server, or trying to run Amzi! from the command line.
After installing the software you will have to activate it, using either the batch 'activate' command in the apls/bin directory, or from the File menu in the IDE.
Follow the install intructions for the installation program.
To use the command line environment, it might be useful to add the environment variable AMZI_DIR=install_dir/amzi/apls and add $AMZI_DIR/bin to the start of your PATH environment variable. Depending on your use, you might also want to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include the Amzi! library directory, $AMZI_DIR/lib.
After installing the software you will have to activate it, using either the batch 'activate' command in the apls/bin directory, or from the File menu in the IDE, which will call the batch activate program.
If you already have Eclipse and Java installed, then download and install just the core Amzi! download. When installed you will see a directory called apls...\eclipse_plugin. You can use the Eclipse facilities for adding a plug-in and point it to that directory. This will add the Amzi! Prolog plug-in to your current install.
In order to run the Amzi! Eclipse IDE you need to install:
Next install the Amzi! Feature into Eclipse as follows:
First, do not install a new version of Amzi! if your maintenance has expired. In the Amzi! Eclipse IDE select Help | Amzi! Version or from the command-line type 'alis' to check your software maintenance and support status.
You can un-install the old version of Amzi!, or rename your old amzi directory and install a new clean copy.
You can revert to the previous version by simply changing the value of AMZI_DIR to point to the old directory.
Under Windows, to remove Amzi!, open the Control Panel and choose Add/Remove Programs. You may have to delete the amzi directory tree if you have modified any files within it (sources, samples, configs, workspace).

The song Videotape has been described
as Thom Yorkes favorite from the 2007 Radiohead album,
In Rainbows. The artist explains, it has an unexplainable substance
to it, making it one he often likes to open live shows with. However,
during a performance in 2008, fans were shocked to see Yorke struggle with the opening of the tune
four seemingly simple quarter notes. As explained by Vox, Berklee music professor Erin Barra,
and fan Warren Lain, the songs complexity lies in a sort of subtle syncopation where the drums and piano intentionally play off beat..

Welcome to the Infix Calculator and Expression Evaluator JavaScript
example. While the algorithms for an infix expression evaluator are not
difficult, it seemed, in a fit of boredom, an interesting challenge to
implement these algorithms in JavaScript and the user interface in HTML.

Code Of Conduct
SpringCon.Tech is dedicated to providing an outstanding conference experience for all attendees, speakers, sponsors, volunteers and organizers (SpringCon.Tech participants) regardless of gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion, financial status. We do not tolerate harassment of SpringCon.Tech participants in any form. Please treat your fellow SpringCon.Tech participants with respect, regardless of the context you’re interacting with them.
Harassment is not appropriate for any conference venue. We expect all SpringCon.Tech participants to follow the Code of Conduct during the conference. This includes conference-related social events at off-site locations, and in related online communities and social media. Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately. Conference participants violating this Code of Conduct may be expelled from the conference without a refund, and/or banned from future SpringCon.Tech events, at the discretion of SpringCon.Tech
Examples of harassment include offensive comments, verbal threats or demands, sexualized images in public spaces, intimidation, stalking, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of sessions or events, and unwelcome physical contact or sexual attention. Speaker presentations fall under this category and should not use images or examples that would violate the code of conduct.
SpringCon.Tech participants must remember that SpringCon.Tech organizers and volunteers are not trained conflict resolution specialists, nor are they security or law enforcement. SpringCon.Tech organizers and volunteers will immediately escalate issues around safety, violence, or similar situations to venue staff or law enforcement.
For the protection of SpringCon.Tech participants, SpringCon.Tech will never put its organizers or volunteers in the position of trying to assess whether or not an incident merits escalation. If there is any doubt, we will escalate incidents to the appropriate agency immediately.
Incident Resolution
• All SpringCon.Tech participants agree to treat each other with respect, regardless of whether you are in a session room or at the venue facilities.
• Simple disagreements should be resolved between the individuals concerned.
• Harassment or more serious issues should be escalated to a SpringCon.Tech organizer or volunteer. That person will immediately contact a SpringCon.Tech Board member who has the responsibility to assist in resolution.
• SpringCon.Tech participants suffering outright assault or extreme harassment should contact the venue staff immediately, or a SpringCon.Tech organizer if they're nearby. That person will immediately escalate the issue to the venue staff or law enforcement as appropriate.

Aparently some people enjoy this drug, and some people don't. I was one of those who absolutly despised it. What happend to me isn't going to happen to everyone, but I will say I don't recommend it because if you do get the bad side effects, you'll know it wasn't worth finding out.
6:00PM CDT
I decided since I've gotten somewhat comfortable with OTC's with my frequent DXM use that something else was worth trying. I kept hearing about Dramamine from friends and how they experienced heavier visuals than they've had on anything else. I became curious so I searched the net for Dramamine info. Most people take a whole tube(12 pills, 50mg each) so I thought I'd do the same. It was 6pm when I took them, and I awaited the experience.
6:30PM CDT
I smoked a cigarette upstairs in my room. No cool effects yet, but I did get kind of drowsy.
6:45PM CDT
I felt extremely light headed when I got up to go down to my basement(my trip spot). Before I went downstairs I stopped and had a soda and watched football with my dad for a while in the living room. We had a short conversation about how the Badgers arent playing well.
7:10PM CDT
I began feeling VERY light headed. As if my skull was filled with helium, and if it wasn't attatched to me it would float away. I came to the conclusion I was too messed up to be around my dad, so I walked my way downstairs. Walking felt so weird. It was like there was little gravity, or too much gravity, I couldn't make up my mind which. I walked down the stairs, and opened the door and closed it. I looked over at the couch to see my friend Evan. 'How did he get in?' I thought. He whispered to me 'Hey man, you want some of this dex?'. He had capsules with pure DXM in them! I was stoked! He gave me 2 and I took them into the bathroom, opened a pepsi that was sitting in the bathroom and took them.
It was as real as anything that is real could be, but as I put the pepsi down it wouldn't land on the counter. I felt like I was getting it low enough to touch the counter but I couldnt feel it touching it. I looked up into the mirror and noticed my pupils were tiny. Smaller than I have ever seen them. I made my hand with the pepsi in it tighter, but felt my fingers touch and I made a complete fist. I thought I dropped the pepsi and I looked around for the mess I had made, but there was no mess. THERE WAS NO PEPSI.
I went into the other room to notice Evan wasn't there! I could have sworn I had taken that DXM, I could have sworn Evan gave them to me. I went upstairs to ask my dad 'Did Evan stop by at all today?' 'No, I've been home all day and I havn't seen him'. At that time I thought I was crazy. I needed a cigarette BAD from all that. I went upstairs into my room and saw an empty bottle of Dramamine.  At that time I wanted to think it was the drug, but I just couldn't believe it. DXM never did anything that weird.
7:45PM CDT
I reached for my pack of smokes and lit one up.  I looked in my pack of cigarettes and realized I didn't have any left, and the one I smoked before the trip was my last one. At this point it was getting very weird for me, and I started feeling anxiety. 'What could happen next?' I thought to myself. I tried to calm down, but I couldn't.
8:00PM CDT
I went back into the basement panicing. I layed down and tried to relax. The TV was off, so I could see the reflection from the TV into the back of the room. As I looked in the TV I saw the reflection of a tall man in a trech coat, using hand signals to communicate with someone off in another part of the room that I could not see. I began to panic again. I saw a pair of scissors on the table so I quickly grabbed it and looked around the room prepaired(not really) for whatever was there. But once again, nothing was there.
8:20PM CDT
I calmed down and wrote all over my arm with a sharpie 'YOUR TRIPPIN, NOTHINGS REAL' so I would remember because I kept forgetting.
8:30PM CDT
I needed to take a leak real bad so I made my way to the bathroom. I looked at the light switch as I was about to turn it on to see a HUGE moth. One of those moths the size of my hand! Ran back into the other room in fear (I hate moths). I started biting my nails and noticed something written on my hand 'YOUR TRIPPIN, NOTHINGS REAL' it said. Then I remembered I was tripping haha. So I went back to the bathroom to notice the moth was gone.
I looked into the mirror after I pissed. It felt like there was something on the back of my head because I could feel it in my hair. I looked at the back of my head with another mirror to see a HUGE spider! I rubbed my head and all over in frustration. That time as soon as I saw it I remembered I was trippin. At that time I thought 'Ok, this is enough. I'm Done.' I figured since I was already very drowsy that I could just go to bed and sleep it off.
8:50PM CDT
I turn off the lights and climb into bed, still tripping hard. I am very uncomfortable, and I stuggled to find a comfortable position.
9:00PM CDT
I was VERY tired but still couldn't sleep because I couldnt get comfortable. My legs felt very strange, so I would have to stretch them with all my strength to make that weird feeling go away. The feeling would come back 10 seconds after doing it. I began to jolt in my bed violently. It was the most horrible thing ever.
9:30PM CDT
I am still violently jolting my legs in my bed, still can't sleep.
10:00PM CDT

11:00PM CDT

That was the last time I even checked the time, but I'm guessing I finally fell asleep around 12:15-12:45.  For some reason a few months later I gave it another try. No hallucinations like last time, but the feeling in my leg happend again. It wasn't as bad, and I was able to force myself to sleep in a good 20 minutes. Still not worth it I don't think. At a point in both those trips I considered suicide because that feeling in my legs was unbarable. That's how agonizing that feeling was. I dont know what it was, but Im sure its nothing healthy. Since the first trip I've been scared for life. I learned that there is a difference between visuals and hallucinations.
Visuals=Things that are there, but are altered in some way. The walls moving, ground breathing, stretching, double vision, closed eye visuals.
Hallucinations=Things that just aren't there!

The Java VisualVM is one of the latest tools included in the JDK download. This tool is useful for Java application developers to troubleshoot applications and to monitor and improve the applications' performance. With Java VisualVM you can generate and analyze heap dumps, track down memory leaks, perform and monitor garbage collection, and perform lightweight memory and CPU profiling. The tool is also useful for tuning, heap sizing, offline analysis, and postmortem diagnosis.
In addition, you can use existing plug-ins that expand the functionality of Java VisualVM. For example, most of the functionality of the JConsole tool is available through the MBeans tab and the JConsole plug-in wrapper tab. You can choose from a catalog of standard Java VisualVM plug-ins by choosing Plugins from the Tools menu in the main Java VisualVM window.
For more details, see the Java VisualVM documentation.
The following section describes Troubleshoot with Java VisualVM.
Java VisualVM allows you to perform the following troubleshooting activities:
View a list of local and remote Java applications.
View application configuration and runtime environment. For each application, the tool shows basic runtime information: PID, host, main class, arguments passed to the process, JVM version, JDK home, JVM flags, JVM arguments, and system properties.
Enable and disable the creation of a heap dump when a specified application encounters an OutOfMemoryError
exception.
Monitor application memory consumption, running threads, and loaded classes.

Create a heap dump immediately. You can then view the heap dump in several views: summary, by class, by instance. You can also save the heap dump to your local file system.
Profile application performance or analyze memory allocation (for local applications only). You can also save the profiling data.
Create a thread dump (stack trace of the application's active threads) immediately. You can then view the thread dump.
Analyze core dumps (with Oracle Solaris and Linux operating systems).
Analyze applications offline, by taking application snapshots.
Get additional plug-ins contributed by the community.
Write and share your own plug-ins.
Display and interact with MBeans (after installing the MBeans tab plug-in).
When you start Java VisualVM, the main Application window opens, displaying a list of Java applications running on the local machine, a list of Java applications running on any connected remote machines, a list of any JVM core dumps that were taken and saved (with Oracle Solaris and Linux operating systems), and a list of any application snapshots that were taken and saved.
Th Java VisualVM automatically detects and connects to the Java Management Extensions (JMX) agents for Java applications that are running on JDK or that have been started with the correct system properties. For the tool to detect and connect to the agents on a remote machine, the jstatd
daemon must be running on the remote machine, see The jstatd Daemon. If Java VisualVM cannot automatically discover and connect to JMX agents that are running in a target application, then the tool provides a means for you to explicitly create these connections.

This dialog is invoked with the Import Intel Hex command. It is based on the standard File Open dialog. Double-clicking a file (or selecting and clicking the Import button) imports the file.
Look In
To see how the current folder fits in the hierarchy on your computer, click the down arrow. To see what's inside a folder, click it.
File Name
Type the filename you want to open. If you type the name of a folder that folder is opened and the contents are displayed. Normally you see all files matching the specification currently selected in the “List Files of Type” box – but if you type a filename with wild-cards here, such as *.S1, you will only see matching files.
List Files of Type
Select the type of file(s) you want to open. By default Intel Hex files (*.ihx) are displayed, but you can elect to use a different filter by selecting from the drop down list. You can change the default filter (*.*) and change, add or delete from the filter list by using the Filters page of the Options dialog.
Use Import Addresses (for discontiguous records)
If this option is off then HexEdit Pro will import from the file at the current position in the file. But in this case the Intel Hex records in the file must be contiguous otherwise the import stops with an error. Also the imported bytes are always inserted into the file (you must be in INS mode).
If this option is on then the records do not need to be contiguous (in fact, there are no restrictions at all on the expected addresses). Each record's data is added to the file at the specified record address. If an address is past the end of the file then it is ignored. The data replaces the data of the file, hence the file length never changes as a result of the operation.
Highlight
If discontiguous records are imported it is often difficult to see which bytes were changed. This option highlights all imported bytes (if the above option is used). Note that all existing highlights are lost.

:synopsis: ``inotify(7)`` based emitter implementation.
:author: Sebastien Martini<EMAIL_ADDRESS>:author: Luke McCarthy<EMAIL_ADDRESS>:author<EMAIL_ADDRESS>(Yesudeep Mangalapilly)
:author: Tim Cuthbertson<EMAIL_ADDRESS>:platforms: Linux 2.6.13+.
.. ADMONITION:: About system requirements
Recommended minimum kernel version: 2.6.25.
Quote from the inotify(7) man page:
"Inotify was merged into the 2.6.13 Linux kernel. The required library
interfaces were added to glibc in version 2.4. (IN_DONT_FOLLOW,
IN_MASK_ADD, and IN_ONLYDIR were only added in version 2.5.)"
Therefore, you must ensure the system is running at least these versions
appropriate libraries and the kernel.
.. ADMONITION:: About recursiveness, event order, and event coalescing
Quote from the inotify(7) man page:
If successive output inotify events produced on the inotify file
descriptor are identical (same wd, mask, cookie, and name) then they
are coalesced into a single event if the older event has not yet been
read (but see BUGS).
The events returned by reading from an inotify file descriptor form
an ordered queue. Thus, for example, it is guaranteed that when
renaming from one directory to another, events will be produced in
the correct order on the inotify file descriptor.
...
Inotify monitoring of directories is not recursive: to monitor
subdirectories under a directory, additional watches must be created.
This emitter implementation therefore automatically adds watches for
sub-directories if running in recursive mode.

Whoops! Looks like there aren't very many campaigns yet! We're working as hard as we can to get in touch with support groups and cancer organizations to reach out to cancer patients around the country. Please keep checking back as we kickstart our way to changing the world.


Laurel: But at the same time, I can imagine myself as a teenager using Tumblr or something (although maybe even now Tumblr is dated) and doing something super naïve like that. I think there's some value in letting go of your images, or work, to an extent. For the people who are really dedicated, hopefully there will be a dedicated archive or book someday in addition to the image stripped of all context. It's important to have layers to be accessible.
I was reading a really cheesy self-help book like six months ago about social media. It said, "give it up for a month.   With Instagram for instance, I said to myself, "It's really annoying in some ways, but it's valuable to know what's up." Because I follow so many users I value, I get to see the overall zeitgeist-what's in the air. It's the periphery, and seeing it in bulk and zooming past you gives it value. It's good to be in touch with the periphery.
Lauren: Instagram gives me a lot of anxiety now - it's not even vaguely fun anymore. I began using Instagram to post photos I took, but now it's slowly transformed into some sort of artist PR page, where I post work updates or announce events. I feel pressured to always 'like' posts made by professional art contacts. The app now feels more like a social maintenance platform than anything else really. Although I often don't want to participate at all, I feel like deleting my account could be a detriment to my career. I have had made several professional contacts from Instagram, and I think that deleting my account would disable future connections, and ultimately hurt my career. Having an Instagram as an artist feels as essential as having an Instagram as a gallery, perhaps. To "unplug" seems like a beautiful thing, but often doesn't feel like the smartest decision for a young artist, as it can be potentially self-harming to their career.

There are a number of tools available for visualizing the training of Keras models, including:
A plot method for the Keras training history returned from fit()
.
Real time visualization of training metrics within the RStudio IDE.
Integration with the TensorBoard visualization tool included with TensorFlow. Beyond just training metrics, TensorBoard has a wide variety of other visualizations available including the underlying TensorFlow graph, gradient histograms, model weights, and more. TensorBoard also enables you to compare metrics across multiple training runs.
Each of these tools is described in more detail below.
The Keras fit()
method returns an R object containing the training history, including the value of metrics at the end of each epoch . You can plot the training metrics by epoch using the plot()
method.
For example, here we compile and fit a model with the “accuracy” metric:
model %>% compile(
loss = 'categorical_crossentropy',
optimizer = optimizer_rmsprop(),
metrics = c('accuracy')
)
history <- model %>% fit(
x_train, y_train,
epochs = 30, batch_size = 128,
validation_split = 0.2
)
We can then plot the training history as follows:
plot(history)
The history will be plotted using ggplot2 if available (if not then base graphics will be used), include all specified metrics as well as the loss, and draw a smoothing line if there are 10 or more epochs. You can customize all of this behavior via various options of the plot method.
If you want to create a custom visualization you can call the as.data.frame()
method on the history to obtain a data frame with factors for each metric as well as training vs. validation:
history_df <- as.data.frame(history)
str(history_df)
'data.frame': 120 obs. of 4 variables:
$ epoch : int 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ...
$ value : num 0.87 0.941 0.954 0.962 0.965 ...
$ metric: Factor w/ 2 levels "acc","loss": 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ...
$ data : Factor w/ 2 levels "training","validation": 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ...
If you are training your model within the RStudio IDE then real time metrics are available within the Viewer pane:
The view_metrics
argument of the fit()
method controls whether real time metrics are displayed. By default metrics are automatically displayed if one or more metrics are specified in the call to compile()
and there is more than one training epoch.
You can explicitly control whether metrics are displayed by specifying the view_metrics
argument. You can also set a global session default using the keras.view_metrics
option:
# don't show metrics during this run
history <- model %>% fit(
x_train, y_train,
epochs = 30, batch_size = 128,
view_metrics = FALSE,
validation_split = 0.2
)
# set global default to never show metrics
options(keras.view_metrics = FALSE)
Note that when view_metrics
is TRUE
metrics will be displayed even when not running within RStudio (in that case metrics will be displayed in an external web browser).
TensorBoard is a visualization tool included with TensorFlow that enables you to visualize dynamic graphs of your Keras training and test metrics, as well as activation histograms for the different layers in your model.
For example, here’s a TensorBoard display for Keras accuracy and loss metrics:
To record data that can be visualized with TensorBoard, you add a TensorBoard callback to the fit()
function. For example:
history <- model %>% fit(
x_train, y_train,
batch_size = batch_size,
epochs = epochs,
verbose = 1,
callbacks = callback_tensorboard("logs/run_a"),
validation_split = 0.2
)
See the documentation on the callback_tensorboard()
function for the various available options. The most important option is the log_dir
, which determines which directory logs are written to for a given training run.
You should either use a distinct log directory for each training run or remove the log directory between runs.
To view TensorBoard data for a given set of runs you use the tensorboard()
function, pointing it to the previously specified log_dir
:
It’s often useful to run TensorBoard while you are training a model. To do this, simply launch tensorboard within the training directory right before you begin training:
# launch TensorBoard (data won't show up until after the first epoch)
tensorboard("logs/run_a")
# fit the model with the TensorBoard callback
history <- model %>% fit(
x_train, y_train,
batch_size = batch_size,
epochs = epochs,
verbose = 1,
callbacks = callback_tensorboard("logs/run_a"),
validation_split = 0.2
)
Keras writes TensorBoard data at the end of each epoch so you won’t see any data in TensorBoard until 10-20 seconds after the end of the first epoch (TensorBoard automatically refreshes it’s display every 30 seconds during training).
TensorBoard will automatically include all runs logged within the sub-directories of the specified log_dir
, for example, if you logged another run using:
Then called tensorboard as follows:
The TensorBoard visualization would look like this:
You can also pass multiple log directories. For example:
tensorboard(c("logs/run_a", "logs/run_b"))
In the above examples TensorBoard metrics are logged for loss and accuracy. The TensorBoard callback will log data for any metrics which are specified in the metrics
parameter of the compile()
function. For example, in the following code:
model %>% compile(
loss = 'mean_squared_error',
optimizer = 'sgd',
metrics= c('mae', 'acc')
)
TensorBoard data series will be created for the loss (mean squared error) as well as for the mean absolute error and accuracy metrics.
The callback_tensorboard()
function includes a number of other options that control logging during training:
callback_tensorboard(log_dir = "logs", histogram_freq = 0,
write_graph = TRUE, write_images = FALSE, embeddings_freq = 0,
embeddings_layer_names = NULL, embeddings_metadata = NULL)
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
log_dir |
Path of the directory to save the log files to be parsed by Tensorboard. |
histogram_freq |
Frequency (in epochs) at which to compute activation histograms for the layers of the model. If set to 0 (the default), histograms won’t be computed. |
write_graph |
Whether to visualize the graph in Tensorboard. The log file can become quite large when write_graph is set to TRUE
|
write_images |
Whether to write model weights to visualize as image in Tensorboard. |
embeddings_freq |
Frequency (in epochs) at which selected embedding layers will be saved. |
embeddings_layer_names |
A list of names of layers to keep eye on. If NULL or empty list all the embedding layers will be watched. |
embeddings_metadata |
A named list which maps layer name to a file name in which metadata for this embedding layer is saved. See the details about the metadata file format. In case if the same metadata file is used for all embedding layers, string can be passed. |


text
text(txt, x, y, width=None, height=1000000, outline=True)
Draws text to the screen. The first parameter sets the string of text to display ("always between quotes"). The following two parameters set the location of the text's baseline. The fourth, fifth and sixth parameter are optional. The fourth parameter specifies a width for text blocks, the fifth the maximum height. Text in a block is wrapped across multiple lines. The alignment for text in a block can be set with the align() command. By default, text is not outlined when saved as a PDF. Optionally, a sixth parameter outline=True can be supplied so text will be outlined.

text("A shrubbery!", 10, 40)
text("Ni", 10 ,20) |
a tuple with the width and height of the text block
