Abilities Edit |
Chi Jump: |
A Chi Jump is a manifestation of power which allows a single Europan to just over 3 football fields long. This power only affects the Europan in small ways such as thigh twitching in a temporary manner. After the jump, a Europan will be able to have an adrenaline rush which you will read below in another ability. This ability occasions in small and slim chances and/or times, emaning to have probably once in about 2-5 years. |
Post-Jump Adrenaline: |
After the Chi jump, a Europans' thighs are moving so fastly that the creature will be able to run over 6 miles in 20 minutes. (As considered for a deletion since it is not a natural ability, but such as a post dramatic ability.) |
Aliam Visionem: |
Only about once a year, a Europan will enter someones' vision through force and/or choice and will be able what they see without seeing in their own vision. |

Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies |
A very interesting new book by Nick BostromSuperintelligence, addresses the questions that will be raised by the appearance of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Systems that are vastly smarter than humans. |
So far, researchers have concentrated their efforts on the development of artificial intelligence systems that are as intelligent as humans, the so called strong AI. This is a tall order and it may yet take many years until we reach that point. |
However, as Nick Bostrom points out in this book, there is no reason to believe that, once developed, strong AI systems would remain approximately as intelligent as humans. Once an AI system with human-level intelligence comes into existence, it will certainly be able to improve itself rapidly past that level. |
As Irving John Good, a statistician that worked with Alan Turing at Bletchley Park, pointed out, a smarter than human machine is probably the last invention man will ever need to create. After that, such a machine can invent all sorts of new technologies, including the ones related with AI. |
Nick Bostrom describes in a very clear and convincing way how a superintelligence may develop out of research in AI and neurosciences, using a number of different paths that may include whole brain emulation, strong artificial intelligence or highly connected communities of human brains. |

Provisioning module for WHMCS |
I need for a module to be created for WHMCS v5 that can provision General Instruments cable boxes that reside on an addressable computer. The module should be able to: |
1). create |
2). Suspend |
3). Terminate |
4) Change/upgrade package |
system definition |
The cable boxes are normally programmed on a unix system using proprietary software. The unix computer communicates with an anic that sends the signal to the cable boxes. |
Create account definition |
This gives the ability to add a new cable box to the system using its mac address and selects a package to install that allows a certain set of channels to be displayed to the cable box user. Please note that these packages are already programmed in the unix addressable computer (ACC4000) |
This should send a hit signal to the cable box that will disable the account not delete or terminate. |
This will delete the account from the addressable computer completely |
This will give us the ability to change the channel list package that a particular cable box will have. |
The network |
The unix computer and the WHMCS server is physically located in the same room and can be accessed if needed. Please note that this is a live environment and any programming that is done incorrectly may cause major issues. Persons who are capable should be familiar with GI 2200 cable boxes, Unix addressable computers, and a reasonable amount knowledge of Cable Operators systems. |

May 6, 1986|By L.M. Boyd |
Head of household is a legal designation in Burma. In court cases where relevant, the title is stripped from a man who drinks too much. True, courts everywhere find defendants incompetent. But the refusal in Burma to recognize the drinker as head of household is quite specific and usual. |

Q. Can you contradict the claim that the best marriage occurs when one spouse is clearly the leader and the other clearly the follower? |
A. Can indeed. Love and War experts cite the old line: ''Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.'' The more power a spouse gets over a partner, they say, the more likely that empowered spouse will become impossibly dictatorial. The best marriage occurs, they say, with a balance of power wherein each tolerant spouse knows exactly how much the other will tolerate. |
Q. What kind of mileage do the 18-wheelers get on the freeway? |

Vermont is facing many challenges when it comes to local meat production: Grazing land is expensive, there aren’t enough facilities in which to process animals, and many residents refrain from buying local meat because they don’t know how to cook the unusual cuts sold by small farms. What exactly do you do with a pork loin or lamb shoulder? |
Yet as the articles in this special issue point out, some Vermonters are thinking deeply about this vast food category that doesn’t encompass what our state is famous for—milk and maple—or the familiar vegetables at our farmers’ markets. In these pages, we introduce you to folks hoping to turn unwanted dairy cows into local beef (page 17); farmers who are raising unusual breeds of meat animals (pages 6 and 27); and butchers who are using grant money to improve their services (page 8). |
The challenges mentioned above are steep, but I’ve often thought there’s another, more subtle problem facing local meat production. It has to do with the word slaughter. We inevitably have to use it when we’re talking about where our meat comes from. But isn’t it unpleasant? Doesn’t it make you not want to talk about meat? Sometimes I have to use it when people ask me what I do (“Well, part of my work involves writing about people’s efforts to raise and slaughter farm animals humanely.”) With a polite “Oh…” they deftly change the subject. |
At some point the word slaughter, Scandinavian in origin, came to mean more than just “the butchering of animals for meat” but also “mass killing,” “bloodshed,” “barbarism,” “carnage.” Yet in Vermont, where farm animals have .their lives ended in small-scale slaughterhouses or on the farm itself, slaughtering, in the unpleasant sense of the word, is not what’s happening. Sure, it’s not pretty (and in rare cases, rogue slaughterhouse employees do abuse animals; Bushway Packing in Grand Isle is accused of such), but there’s no barbarism. What is happening, plain and simple, is that animals are being killed swiftly for their meat. |
Some would say killing isn’t a pleasant word either, but at least it’s accurate. It neither horrifies the process nor sanitizes it. Often you’ll see the word processing used, but is it too far removed from what’s actually happening? At the same time, making it sound worse than it is—calling it slaughter—gives people an excuse to turn away. “I don’t want to hear about it.” That’s when cruelty is allowed to flourish. In order to make slaughterhouses humane places—both for the animals and the workers—we need to talk about what happens in them. |
Other words used in local agriculture could use some examination: GMOs, terroir, and CSA risk confusing people. Organic has, to some extent, been co-opted by the federal government and some corporations. Food system sounds both complex and dull. If you can think of some words that could replace these or other agricultural terms, let us know. After all, the words that come out of our mouths often influence what we put in them. |
