you'd think. He said this to me out of the clear blue, when he'd never mentioned anything like this in my entire life. I find it notable because of that, and the timing of it, as well as the correlation in archetypes (expensive antique furniture).

Then, while reading "Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas" at lunch today, a word synchro: "anthropoid." I read this in the SAS Fighting Handbook a couple days ago, in regards to an "Operation Anthropoid." If I'd seen that word before, it's been a while. But then it was in the "Frog Pajamas" book, which I started today and read sequentially after the Handbook, after having it for over a month now. Notable in itself, but doubly so considering that it fits that rubric of back-to-backwas on the *back* of the bag that read "valley," not the front, which had been visible. Then, even cooler (though perhaps not related), was the fact that the bag's "valley" was the end of a sentence: "Fresh ideas from the valley." This is notable because it factors into the very mountain-and-valley analogy, where you learn from going both onto the mountain and into the valley as well as the whole process -- another way of saying you "get ideas" from them.

Then, at lunch, I laughed my ass off as I read 'Half Asleep In Frog Pajamas.' Yesterday, upon seeing that the book concerns the tarot, I was subconsciously expecting it to mention the Five of Pentacles, which was the tarot card I'd drawn for that day. The


across a Rolling Rock beercan, these coinciding in that perfectly synchronistic way. Notable, I think, since I can definitely say the thought wasn't triggered by the can.

6/5/13

A minor one, after a virtual drought. Yesterday, I had to look in the HAARP book in regards to a concept I'd read in there, what I thought would apply to my book. I didn't find the concept, but while flipping through it, I did see two things: first, "The Sorcerer's Apprentice," which has been a recurring theme for me lately, starting when I felt Compelled to watch Fantasia, and in maybe 3-4 different places since. Then, second, "cyclotron," which I Noticed, then it turned up in 'The Cuckoo's Egg' today, when I felt Compelled to start reading it. Mildly notable, consideringtyped up my mom's letter to the editor, which mentioned name a couldn't quite read. I thought it was "Remmington Reliner," and when I Googled this to check, one of the first hits referenced "Remington shavers relin troybuilt trimmer."

Then, at lunch, a cool word/reading synchro: "fish." I read it in the "Rule #1" book, and it coincided perfectly with my mom saying "fish," from the other room. It was so perfectly coincidental, I had to ask her what she'd just said. (An adjunct to this was that I Noticed the fish keychain for dad's car, which I used randomly, out of nowhere, to go to the chiropractor's today. This Noticing took place maybe an hour before the "fish" synchro.)

8/14/13

Had another one of those reading/speaking synchros, exactly like yesterday


years, but the last couple days have been an exception: I'm seeing 37 out the ass, or 137 or 1137 or 307 or different combinations of those. 37 is a regular one, but the last couple days there have been several remarkable recurrences. Besides sheer volume (I think I've seen it no less than two or three dozen times per day), there was, for instance, when I went to buy those USB extenders yesterday, the page (which I ended up on totally randomly, it being different than the one I'd originally intended to buy), had the cable on sale for 37% off, the company's feedback started with "11373," it would ship the same day if I ordered within 7 hours and 31 minutes, and I think one ormind, I saw a license plate ending in "1111," as revealed by a car pulling away just as I was thinking of the chapter. Cool.

8/28/13

Pretty cool and pretty notable word synchro today: "star stuff." This morning, I'd thought of "star stuff" randomly. I can't remember exactly what spawned it, but I remember it being the end of a long, complicated chain of thought, which finished with (I think) the Milky Way galaxy and how Carl Sagan referred to how "we're all made of star stuff" -- I'm not 100% on this, but in any case, I did, in fact, think distinctly of "star stuff" this morning. Then, that night, in 'The Secret Doctrine,' it mentioned how everything is made of "star-stuff." Notable in itself, but doubly so considering


a year or more) since I've read and external reference to Jung and synchronicity.

Also, a couple neat thought synchros this afternoon. First, at the gym, I had the distant thought (more of an observation) that I couldn't stop shaking (hyperthyroid), immediately before the song I was listening said "I can't stop shaking," in that perfectly synchronistic way. Then, on the way home, I blew my nose while driving, breaking my own rule, and so I immediately thought of how I'd just taken a chance. Just after, the song I was listening to said "Every chance I take is on the road." Both mildly notable in themselves, but moreso because of that distinctly synchronistic nature.

8/31/13

Cool recurrence. I'd been meaning to scan the forms from the will book, but puttingcrossed-circuit-type deal, she experiencing what I would or something? I don't remember any deja vu while doing my scanning, in any case.

Rebecca's reply to this:

"This makes me laugh on a million levels. One of which is I wasn't going to bother scanning them since I'd gotten the book, but I'd said I would and I hate saying I'll do something then backing out. I was upstairs and about to go down and I just stopped and said....Nope....I'm scanning them now. There was no precursor thought to that. It was just like I was dragged back into the room to scan the pages."

Another cool recurrence this afternoon. While reading the 'Disconnected' book, I read a quote from someone with the first name of Ram, which I noticed -- not


same car and then, immediately after, the woman who was driving it, walking. Upon seeing her and recognizing her and remembering what had happened, he slowed down, thinking she might walk out in front of him -- which she did. Then, today, he saw this very same woman again, and, recognizing her, slowed down in anticipation of erratic driving, which happened: just after my dad slowed down, she cut in front of him as if he wasn't there. I find this notable, because if it all happened the way my dad says it did, with him recognizing her and then ancitipating danger in such a way that it prevented accidents, it has that air of cohesiveness and logic I've come to identify. It's notable enough considering he wouldnight I by chance was Compelled to read the latest Cassiopaen transcript after not visiting the sight for months, in which it mentioned Sarin nerve gas. Then, at the end of 'All The Money In The World' today, it mentioned Sarin nerve gas, when I don't think I've seen that mentioned for probably years (decades?). These could be chance, but they fit that classic word-synchro mold pretty well.

10/12/13

Another back-to-back book synchro, now for the Mosaic web browser, mentioned in the 'All The Money In The World' book yesterday (odd, since the book was about money and rich people), and then today in the 'How To Find Anybody' book -- very different subject matters, yet they both mentioned that obscure, old web browser.

Also, there was a bit of a


to my left, same as the car with the non-311 license plate I'd looked at. Had I not looked at the car, I wouldn't have seen the gas sign. Potentially coincidence, but if fit that "question-and-answer" format so well, besides being perfectly synchronous, etc.

10/19/13

Minor word synchro: "pinion." I got back from vacation today and checked my email, and "pinion" was the Dictionary.com Word of the Day from a few days ago, and I Noticed it distinctly enough to read it (rarely read those). Then, when I went to another email about a story I'd had published, maybe 30 minutes later, there was a sidebar advertising a book called 'Pinion.' Maybe nothing, but I found the timing and rarity of the word to be notable (can't remember the lasttoo was in 'Under' a few hours later. Notable, since it's a relatively rare word. Though, there's been an endless string of minor word recurrences like this, between the books I've been reading and what I've been writing or editing or even vaguer things, as well as the usual mix of minor thought synchros, etc.

12/11/13

Minor word synchro: "dyad." This turned up in "Holy War" this morning, in a part I ended up having to edit a little, and then, a couple hours later, was in the 'Small Giants' book. Mildly notable for two reasons: 1) it's not a wholly common word, and 2) the timing was reasonably close. Also, it's been a while since I've last seen it used. It's also worth mentioning that I originally wasn't going


today, mainly 37, 137, etc, and their variants -- tons, enough to take note, and always in the most subtle and unexpected of ways, as well as in objective fashion. For instance, while watching a basketball game with my parents, I checked the game clock and I thought it read 37 seconds, but then looked harder and saw that it was 57 seconds. Then, a second later, my mom said, "What's that clock say, 37 seconds?" Heh.

12/18/13

Had another "Toqueville" recurrence, now in 'American Nomads.' I read a couple books between it and the 'Under the Banner of Heaven' book it last recurred it, but I still find this trifecta pretty highly notable, since the first two *were* back-to-back, after never seeing it before in my life, and thenwas the first I'd read this, then today it was repeated in the 'Imperial Life in the Emerald City' book. The timing was pretty distant, almost long enough for me to ignore it as coincidence; however, considering how I'd gone my whole life without knowing that aphorism, then reading it twice even within the span of a couple weeks is pretty significant, especially since it follows the classic book-synchro model, albeit a drawn-out one.

2/22/14

Another classic word synchro: "hagiographical." This was in the book 'The Man Who Loved China' just this evening, and then, about two hours later, I went to catch up on the definitions of words in my word ledger -- and the very first word was hagiographical. When I put it in my ledger, maybe a


the book, a woman is trying to rid her son of a magic spell by transferring the spell to another person, and the magically knowledgeable person helping the woman tells her what to do to open the victim's "channels" -- the exact same term, used in the exact same context that I was thinking of just a day before (this concept, nor anything like it, had been mentioned previously in the book; it is otherwise rather mundane in subject matter, involving middle-class Indian city dwellers).

That was the first part, and it was notable enough in itself, but then today, the book mentioned the "channels" again, now in regards to how, just after the full and new moons, one's channels are the most open to influence. This is interestingwhich was perfectly descriptive of both the sweat and the type of sweat.

4/19/14

Not sure what to classify this one as, a synchronicity or just plain precognition (or a damn big coincidence). I was going down Blowing Rock Road to my brother's to help him move, and I had the distinct, extremely clear thought to take a different route than that I was planning, one which would have taken longer and had more turns, etc. As clearly, I thought no, I won't go that way, despite feeling very compelled to go that way -- almost Compelled, but not quite, not enough to make me actually ignore reason and logic and take the longer way, as I've done in times past after similar Compellings. Well, as I went past the


recurrences between the ledger and the book I started reading this evening, including just enough rare/Noticed words to make me take note (such as "brevet").

5/11/14

Classic thought/action synchro. I went to blow my nose after cutting grass, and naturally looked in the mirror afterward, to make sure I didn't get snot on my face. Coinciding perfectly with my look into the mirror, the song I was listening to said "your face is a mess," once again in the perfectly synchronistic way. Mind, my face wasn't a mess, but that's what I was thinking: that my face might have been, had my nose-blow gone askew. I chuckled.

5/12/14

A weird recurrence today -- or, rather, a recurrence of a recurrence. About a couple weeks ago, I can't remember quite when, I hadas if it were on a pedestal with a spotlight on it.

6/20/14

Yet another reading/thought synchro (why so many of these lately?). At lunch today, I took a bite full of garlic and coconut oil, and I had the thought, "These are supposedly good against parasites." Then, a split second later, I read the next line in the book I was reading, which mentioned parasitology -- not the most precise of hits, but the underlying concept was definitely there, and the timing was once again that distinct, synchronistic way.

Then, a mildly less notable one. In the last book I read, about two days ago, it mentioned Venn diagrams, and though I was 99% sure of what they were, I noted it to look up, just to be sure. Then,


today, in the 'Internet Searchers' book, it showed a Venn diagram for something, and mentioned it specifically as this by name. Though this could easily be a coincidence, it did have that question-and-answer feel to it, and there's also the fact that it's been years (perhaps over a decade) since I've seen Venn diagrams mentioned, and then I saw it twice within two days (and in back-to-back books, nonetheless).

6/22/14

Minor word synchro/recurrence today: "roll-aboard." This one was interesting because it was again a word that I'd learned recently, then logged in my word ledger to look up, and then had recur the very next day after I'd at last looked it up. I first read it in the 'Zero History' book about 4-5 days ago, but then finally gotthe 'Road Within' book mentioned the song and its chorus (that which I'd had in my head all day). This recurrence was mildly notable in itself; however, the real notability came in the circumstances, first in how I'd Just Happened to randomly edit the essay/get the song in my head, but also because the relevant line in the book was the very last I read of the night. In fact, I'd been telling myself as I read, "Just this last story in the book, then I'm going to bed," and it was the very last line in the story where the song and its chorus were mentioned. It added a really neat spin to the whole thing.

6/24/14

Minor word synchro today: "archetypal." It first occurred last night, while I


words, by the song I was listening to ("Play it safe, play it cool, if you ever emote -- you're playing the fool"). The "staying cool" part was a direct, literal hit, while the "emote" part was, though using different words, expressing the same thought in the same context. It bears mentioning that this was the first time I'd ever heard this song (I had, in fact, just received the CD in the mail that day).

Then, a notable secondhand one from my mom. A couple days ago, she had the absent but distinct thought of how to spell "capybara." Then, the next day, she went to get my brother's mail, in which was a "Discovery Kids" magazine, which she thought she would look through while she had it.apparently someone at Earthfare felt otherwise. Well, about 10 minutes later I sat down to eat the lunch I'd been fixing when I had this thought, and I picked up reading in the food allergies book where I'd left off last night. In the very first paragraph I read, it mentioned, explicitly, that carrots do, in fact, require refrigeration. I laughed out loud. So notable -- not just an express answer to my question, but in so short a timeframe. Also, I could totally rule out my subconsciously noticing this mention of carrots and refrigeration in the book when I stopped reading it last night, both because I remember shutting the book as soon as I turned the page, and because, after all, I can 100% trace my


first I've seen it used in this context before, but it was the first I really noticed it -- plus, I Noticed it, too, very distinctly, every time it was used in the specific section of this book. Then, minutes after the Noticing, I was drawn very distinctly to a list of foods on my parents' dining table, Noticing this too, in the same fashion. So I looked over the list, very quickly, being busy elsewhere, and the one paragraph I happened to skim used "foil" in regards to the food, in the exact same context that I'd just first Noticed minutes earlier, perhaps for the first time ever. Notable, once again, not just due to the timing (and relative rarity of this use of the word), butlunch, my dad gave me this article on sleep, in which it mentioned, offhand, how the brain, lacking normal lymphatic vessels, detoxes itself using a certain type of cells -- which answered another of those absent yet distinct questions I'd thought of for the last couple days, just how the brain detoxes itself. In fact, what was said in this article seemed highly relevant to me, as it seemed to confirm some of my observations about what I suspect to be die-off being eliminated from my brain. It all smacks of that classic question-and-answer scenario, but there's really not enough to make it more than just a mildly notable coincidence. Then, equally vague, is another "ask and ye shall receive"-type deal, now involving luggage. I had the thought


thought/action synchros, where I kept having my thoughts echoed by something external said, done, or seen, and always in a way that I couldn't write off as psychological, once again where I was following an indepedent train of thought that would "intersect" with some indepedent, objective external event that I had little or no influence over. Most of these were too subtle or fleeting to translate to text, though all were reasonable notable. The most coherent one was at lunch, when I went to put a bookmark in my book and realized that I had left the bookmark upstairs. In reaction, I reached for the first suitable bookmark substitute, which was a scrap of paper that I'd written notes on and needed to take with me with theof the individual items. There were four separate ones, for one thing, all different prices; and then, additionally, there were vagaries in these prices. There was the oddball 1.08lb lamb liver that cost $6.23 or some uncommon amount of change, same for some bagged coffee and a by-weight vegetable, and then the last item was on sale by percentage and so had a similarly irregular price.

The point is, it was really damn unlikely to have hit exactly 73 cents, in more ways than one. Were I to have consciously tried to assemble such an order, I would've been hard pressed, and that was assuming that the store contained any such combination of goods (it's not too big a store, as it were).

Yet I not only hit this improbable


as significant but just bleeding together into "Onslaught!!!!!!!!!"

2/9/15

Onslaught continues, except now with an emphasis on numbers today. 55, 35, 37/1137/137/237/337 and its variants -- especially the latter. I swear, no less than several dozen thirty-sevens today, sometimes coming in machine-gun bursts, one after another, such as when I opened a CD I got in the mail today and was smacked with a UPC, then, seconds later, when I took the CD out to check its condition (it was a used CD), there was a "1117" (three ones = 3, another repeat variant) there. Or, I felt Compelled to buy a couple scratch lottery tickets, and the first was numbered 137, and the second was 55 (this one even had "your numbers" written on it in big fancy type).after learning of these things for the first time 1-2 days ago, etc.

2/26/15

A damn funny one this morning. When I went to sign up online for the web account on my Cricket phone, they sent me a temporary password to the phone, with the message "Check your phone" the last thing I read on the page where you put in the temporary password. At that very instant, my phone rang -- but it was my *other* cell phone, the old one, not the new one that would've been receiving the text with the temporary password. And to top it all off, the call on the old one was just a random telemarketer. Damn notable, and damn funny.

Had some more onslaught today, toward evening, seeming to coincide with my


the reverend said "reciprocal exchange" (and in the precise same context to which I was thinking "reciprocal," in regards to relationships and the like), and my thinking, for some reason, that I had something on my shirt while eating at the restaurant and looking down, precisely when the nearby waitress said "look down" (just slightly *after* I'd had the random thought and looked down, not before; nothing on my shirt, btw), and my taking a drink and thinking distinctly of how great it tasted and quite literally savoring it (while noticing, specifically, that I was savoring this sip) precisely as I passed a sign reading "savor the flavor" -- all of these thoughts and such occurring independently, objectively verifiable, etc etc, as usual, blah blah blah blahdy blah.btw.

3/4/15

Lots of smaller recurrences and the like today, not quite an onslaught but enough to be distinctive, a theme here. One notable example: over the last couple days, I've found that I've been burping healthily, in an odd way I've not experienced for some type, this seeming to come from the whole-food maca I've been eating. This was a whole new concept to me, healthy burping, and I had the vague thought of whether it was all in my head or something. Then today, while getting a massage from Dusti, she mentioned, wholly offhand and randomly, how she took some herbs some time ago and they made her begin burping normally again.

3/5/15

Back on onslaught, but of the older, traditional kind now, more with an emphasis on general recurrence


book, when I saw it on the shelf. Then today while at the store, my attention was drawn to a note sitting on the ground, with "'There Is A River' book, Edgar Cayce" written on it. Could certainly be coincidence, given the time gap; yet, relatively speaking, seeing it twice within ~2 weeks after never seeing it before isn't too unnotable. Fits the pattern, too.

4/8/15

Cool radio synchro today. I was sitting in the truck and, finding it too hot with the windows closed, I turned the key to power and started the windows down -- precisely when, on the radio (turned on by the key), the lyric "boiling heat, summer sweat" sang out. Not only was I putting down the windows due to the heat, but I wassaid no, and that she'd had several people compare her to the bank woman. The two were twins, however, there's just no way around it, and I find it synchronistically notable that I would 1) Notice the bank woman's features so distinctly, and 2) go to the Charter office so soon after (or go there at all, really, since it was due to some weird internet problem that really didn't have any explanation).

5/10/15

First, another cool bit of weirdness that has synchronistic overtones. It built on when I had the ladybug land on me a couple weeks ago and I was Compelled to look up its symbolism and see that it seemed to indicate "having a wish granted." Well, first, it so happened that the mother's day card I


synchronicity, I passed a fresh wreck in the middle of the road, involving two totalled cars -- very much a collision. Heh.

7/27/15

Not too many at all today, really. Though, the one standout was pretty cool. Right as I flipped to a full-page ad for Colorado in a magazine, a lady talking nearby said "go west," perfectly synchronistic. Not hugely precise, but Colorado definitely fits the "go west" archetype (for me, at least; I definitely perceive Colorado as "west," and this would fit the pattern of the recurrences mirroring my thoughts/perceptions/associations rather than always being strictly literal). It also bears mentioning that, for some odd reason, I chose to thumb through this magazine backward -- moving "west" through it, rather than the "eastern" method of going left to right.afternoon at lunch. The whole time I was there about, there was a loud truck idling nearby as delivery men unloaded it. Then, precisely as it at last pulled off down the parking lot and I glanced up, watching it go, the very next line in the 'Skinwalker' book read "watched the vehicle go slowly down the driveway," which is precisely what the truck was doing, driving slowly, since it was so big, down the parking lot driveway. Then, a few minutes later, another of those "independent conversation" synchros, where I had a big long chain of thought ending in "three days" (again, traceable, to my thinking about how long I tend to be able to boonedock in the RV without needing to go out for immediate supplies,


that same word, defining it. A classical case of learning a new word and then having it repeat soon after, except with some pretty notable timing in this case.

8/6/15

Another abundance of numbers today, with a few subtle ones thrown in the mix. The only real standout of memory is when I read "beeping noise" precisely when a nearby car beeped randomly, with perfectly synchronistic timing, etc. Also, another cool receipt/grocery-total synchro, today at Earthfare, when I again went in and bought three random things without really planning on it, two of them weighted produce (and both of odd, small sizes, these exactly what I needed for single servings without leftovers to refrigerate), and the total, with tax, came to exactly $11.73. Haha.

8/7/15

First, a little onslaught all at oncethe fact that I'd felt Compelled to schedule the appointment for the resort massage, which, of course, enabled me to hear about the receptionist's incident.

8/8/15

First, a pretty cool thought-type recurrence. At lunch today while reading the RV book, I had the distinct thought that I'd never seen an RV hauling a trailer before. And then, this evening, just hours later, my dad told me, totally out of nowhere, that he'd seen a great big RV hauling a filled horse trailer this afternoon. Haha. Other than that, the only standouts were an abnormally high amount of 37s, including some extra-conspicuous ones such as Noticing a young woman at Bald Guy Brew, then soon after bumping into her again and seeing that her shirt had a big "37" printed on


to India' while reading the 'Autobiography of a Yogi' book, the first I'd heard of this book -- and then, today, while randomly at Fat Cats, I found the book. It's notable in itself since it fits the pattern/was in pretty close timing, but also it bears mentioning that I'd had no intention to go to Fat Cats today, and even after I'd gone looking for a place like it, I'd originally gone somewhere else but it was closed, leaving me with no choice but Fat Cats. Also, even though I have tons of books to read, I'd felt Compelled to browse their books, and, thus, find this one. All the classic little logistical details that make these so notable.

8/21/15

A cool recurrence today: Navajo. I saw this roaddidn't "feel" like it, for sure.

8/25/15

Onslaught report: not so much today, though still a good number of subtle ones and number-repeats, which seems to be just generally ongoing now. Did have one cool recurrence/"ask and receive" standout: tractor fluid. Yesterday at the dump, there was a drum of this stuff set out by the bins I was unloading into, and I both noticed and Noticed it, because I don't think I've ever once seen or heard of anything called, simply, "tractor fluid." Once again, I had the vague but distinct thought of, "I wonder what 'tractor fluid' is, exactly." Well, then today at Sandy's, as she's giving me the treatment, she mentions (again totally offhand and with zero prompting on my part) how she puts hydraulic fluid in


of how I was leaving my car doors unlocked while I unloaded some recyclables. Haha.

8/28/15

Back to having tons of repeat numbers, always in conspicuous ways, far too many to list (though few subtle incidents today, and no real standouts that I can recall).

8/29/15

Back to the semi-onslaught of subtle thought/event synchros and number repeats. One cool standout: thinking "coffee" precisely as a nearby stranger said "coffee" to another stranger, no relation at all to my chain of thought or anything. Interestingly, I'd thought "coffee" only because I'd mistaken a nearby bag of herbs as coffee (didn't have glasses on). Haha.

8/31/15

A lot of random, subtle ones and number-repeats, still. The only real, coherent standout was this morning, when I randomly waved at someone passing by precisely as the car's CDthe past.

Also, a minor one that might've been coincidence but I doubt it. On the radio there was a song talking about "x's and o's," and that line stood out to me in that special way, Noticing it as such that I felt I would soon see it again or something. Then, seconds later, I went to check and see if my MP3 player was charging, and on the screen was an O and an X, both capitalized and colored blue as to stand out. Again, potentially coincidence, but considering the timing and the Noticing, and the patternistic aspects of it, etc, I doubt it.

9/12/15

Another day of regular subtle/number repeats, still. One standout I noted: while at the gym this morning, counting "1-2-3" for my yoga stretch, the


down my answer/confession/whatever. Well, two lines down, there was a passage in which the killer did just that, writing down his response to the police. Perhaps a coincidence (since it's not entirely illogical to do such a thing), but it wasn't subconscious reading-ahead in any case, due to my being able to again retrace the distinct, independent chain of thought that led to my thinking about writing down a response.

And, again, more subltes/number repeats, etc, throughout the rest of the day. So surreal at times.

9/17/15

Same as lately, lots of subtle incidents/number repeats, lending a surreal feel to the day. Also, another vague theme throughout the day, most coherently between the book I'm reading, 'American Taboo,' and the one I'm editing, dad's autobiography, probably a dozen vague, individually unnotableI heard ambulance/police sirens in the distance and was mildly disturbed by them and their general "city noise," about two seconds before reading about just that in a book. Thinking about wiping my mouth with my napkin, randomly but precisely, a couple seconds before reading "he wiped his mouth with his handkerchief." Also, as I sat listening to the woman perform and sing, I had the thought that it would be nice to hear her do a song familiar to me rather than her original material, and less than a minute later, she did, her next song as it were. When I pulled into the Anytime Fitness parking lot this morning, heard "sell my home" on the CD player precisely as my eyes fell on a big truck


to take note. Funny as hell in any case.

10/11/15

Another downturn today, now with only periods of subtle/"background static" incidents, though a few profound standouts. First, while on the way to church, a car came up on me, gaining quick despite the low speed limit (which I was abiding), and I thought "speeding" -- precisely as the CD sang out "speeding," perfectly synchronistic, etc. Then, at church, I was thinking of the teary woman I'd seen on the way in, and was praying for her and thinking about how I couldn't involve myself in her troubles as not to get sucked into her reality, etc, when, about a minute after, the reverend went into exactly what I'd been thinking, and even in almost the exact same terms. Very precise,all back to back, in the space of seconds, wham-bam like the license plates. First one on a few price tags that came across my vision one after another, then, when I went to check the manufacture date on the new battery I was getting, it was 7/13, then another couple price tags, then other stuff I can't even remember -- just a big, huge knot of them. Left my head spinning.

Another big knot of vague "themes"/recurrences/parallels throughout the day, including an odd one where at church this morning I had to park in a really tight space between two cars, one of which was occupied by a lady in a Russian-looking headscarf. I remember her so vividly because I waited for her to get out to make


my head a split second before I sat down and re-encountered the big "ZZ" paper.) Maybe the vague/foggy/half-there nature of these is a reflection of that weird headfog/fuzzy thoughts I've been having?

11/10/15

Not really much to note from the last couple days; another downturn, aside from the usual "murmur" of subtles/number-repeats, etc. Did have some more of those new kind of vague-thought/"scrambled"/"weak" theme-style incidents throughout the day, but especially weak and vague. One standout number repeat was another 37-style receipt. It started when, after once again following the pattern of getting several random things without really planning it (including two bags of self-fill coffee, one of which I overfilled accidentally), I ended up paying 27.27 -- thus, 72.73 change (which I noticed because I had to get it fromwas wrong (it was 4ish or so). Also, a really cool vague-thought/recurrence this afternoon. Sometime just within the last day or so, I thought of that young lady I saw at the airport and said hello to, who stood out to me as looking scared and lonely, my remembering her coming in typical vague-thought fashion -- and then, when I went to the library today, damned if she didn't come out right as I was going in (and, we made eye contact I said hello to her again). If it wasn't her, it was her perfect twin (complete with piercings and same haircut, bearing, facial features, etc). Pretty remarkable on all counts, but then gains even more notability given that I'd had no reason to go to this


Q:

How to compare a class to any other arbitrary class via include? method

I have implemented comparable and enumerable so that I can use comparisons and include:
Given the simple class below:
class Card
  include Comparable
  include Enumerable
  attr_accessor :value

  def initialize(v)
    @value = v
  end

  def <=>(other)
    @value <=> other.value
  end

  def each
    yield @value
  end
end

Then:
c = Card.new(1) #so right now we have @value at 1

Neither of these include methods work though:
[1,3,4,5].include?(c)
c.include?([1,3,4,5])

Is it at all possible to use the include method to do this? I know I can do it another way, but i'd like to do it "ruby like"! (Assuming this is even the ruby like way...) I'm just getting intoruby from java and c++
Thanks in advance!

A:

If you stare at your code long enough, you'll see. You implement a spaceship operator that assumes that other is a Card. But you invoke it on Fixnums! You need to do a little type checking there:
class Card
  include Comparable
  include Enumerable

  attr_accessor :value
  def initialize(v)
    @value = v
  end
  def <=>(other)
    if other.is_a?(Card)
      @value <=> other.value
    else
      @value <=> other
    end
  end

  def each
    yield @value
  end
end

c = Card.new(1)

[1,3,4,5].include?(c) # => true
c.include?([1,3,4,5]) # => false # because 1 does not contain an array [1, 2, 3, 4,


a new club in a new league with a comically unbalanced squad is proof that, actually, winning a roomful of trophies in Spain and Germany while being at the forefront of a veritable tactical revolution that changed how the sport is played and thought about isn’t all that impressive—has been incredibly dumb, of course. But the reasons why this is so particularly stupid—how it reveals England’s simultaneous arrogance and insecurity when it comes to soccer, the country’s xenophobia, their prioritization of ever-shifting surface narratives and disinterest in depth and nuance and understanding, and the sport’s general flawed conception of the all-knowing and omnipotent Super Manager—are too obvious and tedious to belabor.)

In spite of all these evident problems, City are still really good. The Tottenham game made this clearteam as it exists today is not as good as it could or should be. Sooner or later, if City want to be one of the very best teams in all of Europe, they’ll need to fix these problems that thus far have gone either ignored or, worse, unnoticed.

Chairs have evolved from a piece of furniture which was used to sit on to a modern collection of furniture and products of special appearance that are available with the advanced technology. Chairs have supported four legs and a back end to support the back. Chairs have been an integral part of the dining room which consists of a table of any shape and table surrounded by chairs on which people sit and intake their food. In the olden day's simple chairs were made without any designs. In the olden days, any woodable to enjoy the most modern facilities and one of which is the modern dining chairs. Dining chairs are now available in a variety of colors and designs, and various materials are used to manufacture them. There is a huge collection of beautiful and extraordinary chairs that you will love to buy.

Eruptive syringomas with calcium deposits in a young woman with Down's syndrome.
Eruptive syringomas are uncommon in the general population. We describe here an 18-year-old female, affected by Down's syndrome, who presented with an abrupt eruption of small skin-colored or reddish papules on the face, neck and limbs. Light microscopy allowed us to diagnose syringomas, whereas the study of the ultrastructural features revealed calcium deposits in many lumina and also in the mitochondria. This observation confirms the hypothesis that the syringeal structure plays a role in the pathogenesis of calcinosis cutis.TOP; DO NOT EDIT

The results will provide information about the regulation, evolution and plasticity of central carbon metabolism, and may enable new methods for carbon sequestration from the atmosphere.your mom goodbye, and hop in the car!”

There was a third piece of equipment that we would also occasionally put to use for help in our quest: an early car telephone, courtesy of the folks at Ma Bell Laboratories.

VPS33B is a member of the Sec1/Munc18 protein family that has multiple roles in exocytosis. VPS33B is defective in patients with arthrogryposis, renal dysfunction, cholestasis (ARC) syndrome. Platelets from these patients lack ? granules. In an attempt to define the roles of ? granules in platelet functio and thrombosis, we produced a mouse model of ? granule deficiency, in which VPS33B was deleted only in megakaryocytes and platelets. In Specific Aim 1, we will determine the roles of VPS33B in ?IIb?3 dependent endocytosis and ?IIb?3 outside-in signaling. ? granule contents vWF and fibrinogen are significantly reduced in the platelets lacking VPS33B. Surprisingly, VPS33B-/- platelets fail to retract a clot and are defective in spreading on fibrinogen. Using the CHO


Q:

What is Git pruning?

I've accidentally pruned some remote branches and I don't really know what the consequence of this is (I clicked the "Prune remote branches" button in Git Extensions, thinking it would delete a remote branch).
The official documentation says "git-prune - Prune all unreachable objects from the object database ". I don't really understand what this means. I'm guessing this might have removed merged branches but I'm not really sure.

A:

"Prune remote branches" in Git Extensions executes git remote prune command, which removes your local remote tracking branches where the branch no longer exists on the remote.
See here: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-remote#git-remote-empruneem

A:

This just garbage collects your branches.
Thats means, if an object (a commit) cannot be reached in any of your branch's ancestors, it will be removed for the git database, andQ:

I have a "problem", when I create (or download) any folder/file on my Desktop, Git that track?
Why is that?
Is that normal or not?

Git version: latest at this moment

Well,  when I open my VS code, code suggest to me to commit changes. That makes my problem because I have thousands of files that git tracks.

I think you created the repo on desktop or the C drive which contains desktop folder

Enzyme immunoassays (EIA) are now used for the quantitation of a wide range of clinically important analytes and have, in many cases, replaced radioimmunoassays, though without improving on the sensitivity of the latter technique. We describe a general enzyme-amplification method which can be used to increase both the speed and the sensitivity of EIA. In this method, the enzyme label is used to catalyse the dephosphorylation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+); the NAD+ so formed then catalytically activates an NAD+-specific redox cycle, yielding an intensely coloured formazan dye. The application of this new enzyme detection method has made possible an assay for human thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) with a sensitivity of 1 X 10(-5) IU/1 and a

Exemplary embodiments of the present invention relate to a semiconductor design technology, and more particularly, to an internal voltage generation circuit of a semiconductor device and a method for operating the same.
2. Description of the Related Art
Most semiconductor devices including DRAM use plural internal voltages having a different level, which are generated from external voltages VDD and VSS, in addition to the external voltages. Typically, the semiconductor devices generate the internal voltages through a charge pumping method or voltage down converting method, using a reference voltage corresponding to a target level, an external power supply voltage VDD, and an external ground voltage VSS.
In the case of DRAM, the internal voltages generated by the charge pumping method may include a boost voltage VPP, a back bias voltage VBB,he hasn’t been able to do because he said the Philippine passport isn’t as strong as Canada’s.

Canadians get their geek on at a citizenship ceremony that was out of this world

Nellie Evangelista — Calgary

As a nearly two-decade-long journey across the world culminated on Friday with Nellie Evangelista and her family at their citizenship ceremony, Evangelista was thinking about her friends who were still working toward that goal.

Before coming to Calgary in 2015, Evangelista and her husband, Ariel Arzadon, had lived in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia since leaving their home in the Philippines almost 20 years ago. As the couple sat with their children and Arzadon’s mother Friday, patiently waiting for their citizenship ceremony to begin, Evangelista said she was thinking of some of their friends in the UAE who are unable to emigrate to Canada just yet because of health issues.

controlling.
Many of the considerations mentioned in the first section of this opinion are persuasive in reaching this decision. This is not a case in which plaintiff can claim that the administrative procedure provides no forum for assertion of its statutory and constitutional claims. Rather, plaintiff had an opportunity to challenge the requirement that it capitalize its interest costs, but chose to forego it. Given that mandamus is an extraordinary remedy, which should be employed only in exceptional circumstances, this Court will not base jurisdiction on it here. See Haneke v. Sec'y of HEW, 175 U.S.App.D.C. 329, 334, n.15, 535 F.2d 1291, 1296 & n.15 (1976).

The QPL was not found to impede flow of the consultation. All agreed QPL provision was feasible as part of routine clinical care. The QPL received strong support from parents and pediatricians and may be a useful tool in facilitating communication and shared decision-making in this setting. The findings warrant further investigation in a larger randomized controlled study.


affine registration in this context may be considered to be a registration in which the coordinates of data points in one dataset are subject to rotation, translation, scaling and/or shearing in order to register the dataset to another dataset. Thus, a rigid registration may be considered to be a particular type of affine registration.
Non-rigid registrations produce non-linear transformations, in which the coordinates of data points in one dataset are subject to flexible deformations in order to register the data set to another data set. Non-linear transformations may be defined using dense vector fields, defining an individual displacement for each voxel in a three-dimensional data set. Non-linear transformations may also be defined using other fields or functions, for example using B spline functions or thin plate spline functions.

Teshuvah Negating a Negative Prophecy

There is a concept that while a positive prophecy must come to pass (at least when it is a national prophecy) a negative one can be retracted if the subjects to teshuvah (repent)? While there a number of places where this idea is found, I would like to know if anyone can identify a particular posuk (verse) in Sefer Yirmeyahu where I once saw this idea stated explicitly? (This isn't rhetorical, can't remember where it is anymore).

tea

Anise Hyssop or Giant Blue Hyssop has been blooming at the edge of our garden for a couple of weeks now.

This purple-flowering plant is native to the American plains, but we have found out that it grows quite well in the Appalachian Mountains of Pennsylvania.

The blooms are pretty spikes of purple that grow longer as the plant blooms for a few weeks time. That’s a nice thing about anise hyssop in that the blooms are long lasting.

Anise Hyssop in full bloom will attract bees and butterflies.

Bees and butterflies are attracted to the flowers like crazy. Standing near the hyssop one can hear the buzzing of the bees that visit constantly. We’ve seen several kinds of butterflies and hummingbirds visit the blossoms as well.

The leaves smell of anise andcan be used to make a tasty tea that is sweet enough to not require sugar or honey!

All-in-all Anise Hyssop, Agastache foeniculum, is one nice garden plant because it attracts pollinators, provides beautiful flowers to look at and leaves for tea, and it’s a perennial too!

A couple of years ago I found a cluster of yarrow growing in the backyard. I noticed the foliage when the plants were small, maybe half a foot tall. Rubbing a leaf released the “flower arrangement” scent that confirmed I was looking at Yarrow, Achillea millefolium.

Learning the scents that plants make is only secondary to learning their physical characteristics to identify them. Sometimes you can cut to the chase by smelling the flowers or leaves, but if you can recognize a plant’s scent

NIV was applied in 28 patients (49%) initially or after extubation. Failure to maintain NIV occurred in 20 patients---15 in the hospital and 5 at home. These 20 patients experienced a median of 4.5 (0−11) episodes of hypoxia during NIV and finally received tracheostomy, except for 1 patient, who died. The main causes of NIV failure were air leakage and a large amount of airway secretions. Five patients were able to maintain home NIV only temporarily (for less than 3 months); of those, 4 required re-admission and emergent intubation because of recurrent respiratory failure, and 1 died at home from a sudden respiratory accident ([Table 5](#pone.0122346.t005){ref-type="table"}).

She had received HMV at 8 months of age but lived without mechanical ventilator support after 11 months of age until her last outpatient visit at 91.8 months of age. She was excluded from the analysis of post-HMV data because of the extremely short duration of HMV compared with the relatively long follow-up period.

Reduction in HMV dependency was successful in 4 patients. One female patient with SMA type I (without a survival motor neuron gene mutation and with mitochondrial DNA depletion) received HMV for less than 12 hours a day from 6−31 months of age and again during the nighttime at


SMA type I can be helped by an early diagnosis and timely application of HMV. Given the merits and demerits of invasive and noninvasive HMV, clinicians should select the best option of respiratory support while considering each patient's age and tolerance to NIV trial. Systematic follow-up guidelines provided by a multidisciplinary team and a specialized program are needed to enhance the quality of HMV and to provide practical information for the increasing population of home-ventilated children.

The enzyme-linked immune sorbent assay (ELISA) is an immune assay which relies on the detection of host antibody as an indicator of infection. Once it has been developed for the analysis of individual serum samples it is frequently applied to individual and bulk milk analysis. In general terms, bulk milk ELISA is an attractive option for monitoring or establishing infection status in dairy herd health management as it provides an automated, rapid and relatively inexpensive method of assessing herd-level status with regard to various pathogens including Bovine Viral Diarrhoea Virus (BVDV), Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis (IBR), Salmonella and parasites \[[@B3]-[@B6]\].

Underlying technology
---------------------

ELISA development begins with the identificationIn milk, the predominant immunoglobulin is IgG1 (representing about 80% of the total immunoglobulin content), which is transported by active receptors on mammary alveolar cells \[[@B15]\]. Individual and bulk milk samples can both be tested by ELISA, however, there are significant differences in the interpretation of the results. Bulk milk samples are pooled samples and represent all lactating animals that contribute to the tank. There are many factors that can affect the titre (Table [1](#T1){ref-type="table"}) of parasite-specific antibodies in the bulk milk including the number and relative seropositivity of contributors, stage of infection, stage of lactation, illness due to infection, and milk yield \[[@B16]\].

It is also important to note that a negative result from a bulk milk ELISA does not mean that the herd is definitively free of a


bulk milk tank is the extent to which animals have outdoor access to pasture \[[@B19],[@B29],[@B30],[@B32]-[@B35]\]. No access to pasture resulted in low antibody concentrations, while in animals kept outdoors, antibody levels increased with the level of access to fully grassed pasture and herbage. There was also a proportional increase of bulk milk antibody level (measured as ODR) with percent of time spent grazing daily. Herds that were managed by summer grazing and winter housing demonstrated a seasonal pattern of high ODR in late summer and early autumn and low ODR in winter \[[@B31],[@B33]\] reflecting the build-up of parasite larvae on pasture in mid-summer \[[@B24]\]. Furthermore, bulk milk ELISA scores increased the earlier the date of turnout and the later the month of housing \[[@B28],[@B29]\].

Liver fluke, *Fasciola hepatica*
--------------------------------

### Life cycle and clinical signs

The liver fluke or *Fasciola hepatica* is found worldwide in temperate regions and has a complex life cycle that is dependent on an intermediate snail host. Eggs that are passed in the faeces of an infected final host, develop and release motile ciliated miracidia onto the pasture. When the parasite encounters its intermediate host, the amphibious snail *Galba truncatula*, it penetrates via the integument and develops through the sporocyst and redial stages


the detection of *F. hepatica*
-----------------------------------------------

Several ELISAs have been developed for the detection of *F. hepatica* infection in bulk milk samples, these include the Idexx ELISA serum and milk kit (formerly the Institut Pourquier ELISA - Idexx, Westbrook Maine, USA) \[[@B40]\], the MM3-Sero ELISA, an ELISA based on a monoclonal antibody, that is used to capture specific *F. hepatica* 'excretory-secretory' (ES) antigens \[[@B41]\] and the University College Dublin (UCD) assay which relies on a recombinant mutant Cathepsin L1, the immunodominant protein found in ES \[[@B9]\]. However, the most widely used ELISA in published studies is an in-house assay developed at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine that uses the ES fraction of the parasite as capture antigen \[[@B17]\]. ES antigens are immune modulatory molecules actively shed from the surfaceremained unresolved and the persistence of antibodies after treatment could lead to 'false positives' \[[@B18]\]. This point serves to highlight the importance of adopting an overall herd health approach with attention being paid to the cows in the context of clinical and subclinical disease as well as to other diagnostic tests including coprological examination.

Effects of management practices on bulk milk *F. hepatica* antibody levels
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Generally fluke infections cluster in areas where environmental conditions are suitable for the larval life cycle stages and the intermediate host, the mud snail, *G. truncatula*\[[@B39]\]. However, using bulk milk ELISA screening as an indicator for economically significant liver fluke burdens, Bennema and colleagues found that in addition to climatic and environmental factors, herd management practices had a major impact \[[@B51]\]. Bulk milk ELISA scores

Lungworm, *Dictyocaulus viviparous*
-----------------------------------

### Life cycle and clinical signs

Like *O. ostertagi*, the cattle lungworm, *Dictyocaulus viviparus*, is a nematode of the trichostrongylid family with a worldwide distribution, although it is most common in temperate regions with high rainfall \[[@B24]\]. The adult female worms are ovo-viviparous and as a result larvae are present in fresh faeces, a feature that is highly unusual in gastrointestinal worms \[[@B24]\]. The migration of the larvae out of the faecal pat and into the herbage is aided by the fungus *Pilobolus,* which can propel the tiny parasitic larvae over a distance of up to 3m. Following ingestion, the parasites burrow through the intestinal mucosa and travel via the lymph or bloodAvailable prevalence data from Ireland indicate that any herd on pasture is at risk of acquiring infection. The question then becomes: How severe is the herd level infection?

For *O. ostertagi*, bulk milk assay can be effective in providing thresholds that may be converted to predicted milk loss per cow per day \[[@B19]\]. For liver fluke, the risk is highly dependent on the environment and is linked to grazing on contaminated pasture. For lungworm, there is an advantage of knowing levels of exposure and how this might contribute to respiratory disease incidence. For *Neospora*, high levels of bulk milk antibodies may contribute to greater risk of abortion \[[@B23]\] and would indicate that *Neospora* should be considered as a cause in unusual patterns of abortion.

Since the Garuda Workshop website went live we've been busy creating new helmets. It's been a bit of a brutal learning curve especially when it comes to paints. Trying to find paints that play nicely with the helmets and lacquer as well as standing up to being masked off in a reasonable time has been a painful adventure!

Here are our latest creations!

Clause gives the customer’s opinion (or *claim*) on the appliances in the room, and clauses and are reasons/evidences (or *premises*) supporting the claim. Such discourse structures are known as *arguments* [@moens2013argumentation], and the techniques for automatically extracting arguments and their relations (e.g. support/attack) from natural language texts are known as *argumentation mining* [@lippi2016survey]. Performing argumentation mining on customer reviews can reveal the reasons behind users’ opinions, thus can greatly facilitate the product producers and service providers to figure out their weaknesses and hence has huge commercial potentials.

There exist a great demand for reliably annotated corpora on customer reviews, since


they are required for training supervised-learning-based argumentation mining techniques. Existing argumentation corpora are mostly constructed from highly professional genres, e.g. legal documents [@palau2009argumentation], persuasive essays [@ig2016parsing], newspapers and court cases [@reed2008corpus]. Compared to these genres, customer reviews are written by ordinary people in casual scenarios, thus their linguistic complexities are usually lower and do not contain much domain knowledge; as a result, we believe that even novice people are able to identify the argumentation structures in customer reviews. Crowdsourcing has been widely recognised as a reliable and economic method for some annotating tasks [@snow2008crowdsourcing]. In this work, we investigate the applicability of crowdsourcing for argumentation annotation in Chinese hotel reviews. Specifically, the contributions of this work are threefold:

-   We propose a novel *argumentation model*[^1] for hotel(Major Claim1), \[I am very satisfied with this hotel.\] (Major Claim2).”

are registered for this course, above 90% are Chinese native speakers. We call for volunteers to participate in our experiment, and inform them that the participated students can obtain the corpus and its statistics in return, which they can use in their final project to train some machine learning algorithms. At last, 388 students participate and we give an one-hour tutorial to help them go through the guideline and to illustrate some examples.

The crowdsourcing is performed on the *brat* [@stenetorp2012brat] platform. Each student can only view the hotel reviews assigned to him/herself. To help the annotators reduce mistakes, we customise and extend the original brat system so that i) only legal relations (see Fig. \[fig:arg\_model\]) are allowed to annotate, ii) the annotator is reminded if the sentiments forHalifax who is part of a campaign called Choosing Wisely, which aims to curb unnecessary tests and prescribing.

Too often, Hickcox says, benzodiazepines are so effective early on that patients lose the incentive to build resilience against their anxiety. He calls the drugs "alcohol in pill form" because they work on some of the same parts of the nervous system as booze. It's almost akin, he says, to prescribing a beer.

As tolerance to benzodiazepines grows, anxiety can return. One pharmacist told CBC News she has made "grown men cry" by refusing early refills.

Worse yet, getting off them after long-term use is hard. Cold turkey is never recommended and potentially fatal due to seizures. It is more dangerous than opioid withdrawal, experts say.

the class-based strategy were defined as girls enrolled in class 6.

Teachers, parents/guardians, and girls in the target vaccination group were provided with verbal and written information about HPV vaccination through school, parent, and community meetings, through distributed leaflets and posters, through radio messages, and through community drama troupes, following qualitative research to identify locally contextualized ways of promoting and delivering HPV vaccination \[[@JIS407C10]\]. The project adopted an opt-out consent approach for parents, whereby parents wishing to opt-out indicated to teachers or the project team that they did not wish their daughter to be vaccinated.

The median age at sexual debut in this population is approximately 16--17 years \[[@JIS407C11]\]. Selection of the class and age for the 2 delivery strategies was made in consultation with the Ministry of Health and3352 eligible girls (enrolled in class 6) in class-based schools, compared with 3227 in the mapping data.

Uganda and Tanzania have achieved better coverage than programs in countries such as the United States, Denmark, and the Netherlands, which rely on health center visits, on-demand vaccination, or private sector provision \[[@JIS407C17]--[@JIS407C21]\]. A demonstration project in 2 districts in Uganda had coverage for all 3 doses of 86.3%--87.8% for its school-based delivery strategy \[[@JIS407C14]\]. Uganda has a long established and well-accepted program of child health interventions through its Child Days Plus activities, including tetanus toxoid immunization in school girls, delivered 2 months per annum \[[@JIS407C22], [@JIS407C23]\]. Such well-established programs are not present in many other sub-Saharan African countries, including Tanzania. Although there was a program to deliver tetanus toxoid vaccination to class 7 schoolgirls in Tanzania, this met with challenges in implementation and has recently been discontinued.from 61% last July.

Part of the public’s frustration is being shut out of the process. Poll after poll has shown that people want to be consulted and involved in the process. The parliamentary impasse has only deepened this frustration. Could a new referendum help resolve these tensions through involving the people in the final decision? Advocates for a people’s vote argue for it on these simple democratic grounds.

Yet a new referendum comes with huge risks. The Labour leadership went beyond the party conference position when it recently announced that a second vote would be a straight choice between May’s deal and remaining in the EU. This would be both extremely dangerous and fundamentally wrong. If anything would create a rightwing backlash, this specific approach to a second referendum


small pilots to being institutionalized in transit agencies? I think that's harder to predict."

Over the past several years, ride-hailing companies and local government officials have often had an uneasy, sometimes outright hostile relationship over regulation. The public transportation deals have been an oasis of rapprochement between them. In part, the ride-hailing deals are too small to seem threatening, according to Kyle Shelton, a program manager at the Kinder Institute for Urban Research at Rice University. "It may affect some routes; it may affect service overall; but it's not going to replace the main lines that carry thousands of riders per day," he said.

Governments already pay for taxis in some situations, but the deals with Uber and Lyft could usher in more fundamental change, and with it, tensions. Whatit replaced, according to the PSTA. The PSTA declined to give statistics about its ridership, other than to describe it as a success. On Aug. 1, the agency began offering subsidies for all rides in the county that end at about 20 designated transit stops. "It's not supposed to be something you'd take instead of the bus; it's supposed to be something you'd take to the bus," said Ashlie Handy, a spokeswoman for the agency. On the same day it expanded the initial program, PSTA launched a separate one to give free Uber rides to low-income residents traveling after 9 p.m., when buses don't run.

Molly Spaeth, a spokeswoman for Uber, said the company was pleased with the response to the project and would continue to look for ways


said. "They were being fined, but at the same time, we'd say, let's work together."

Issues of control are going to test these friendships, said Shelton and Tomer. Local governments are eager for data about ridership that they can use to reconfigure services, and Uber and Lyft tend to see information about demand as trade secrets. If ride-hailing does drive down car ownership, as both Uber and Lyft expect it will, that could increase demand for subsidized rides, leaving governments holding the tab for new forms of semi-public transit.

Bridj, a startup that runs private bus service in some cities, is proposing a model that would leave more control with the governments. It has no set lines and instead responds to requests made on its app.

Earlier this year, Kansas Citytell us that God will make our lives all better, you’re kinda keying into this.

The reason you think there are no atheists in foxholes, I suspect, is that for hundreds of years Christianity has developed a reputation of converting people through such threats of death and torture, and possibly found the intimidation fairly effective. And it’s easy to make up confessions, as well — which may have also coaxed people into thinking that those near to death will call out to God. So that now, when someone is going through a rough time…people tend to think the time is right to bring them over to the Christian side of things.

I get a bit upset when this happens to me, honestly.

I mean, I’ve sat across from someone who has


looked me in the eye and said that, because I don’t believe in God, I’m going to have a rough time in my life. I’ve talked to other people who have complained that the Christians in their lives have said that a hard time might be God trying to tell them something. I’ve even sat in on sermons and advice from apologists to college students saying Christians should wait till a friend has a hard time in their lives before sharing the Gospel to them.

It’s the same theory that was used during the times of Christian torture of heretics — when people are broken down psychologically, physically, and emotionally…then is your time to strike and insert the Gospel of Christ. It’s like, “Hey — your emotional, psychological, andhealth presentation before an audience, which occurred at New York City’s Splash bar. Now, several years and many presentations later, Mills was in Minneapolis to deliver his take on the health issues concerning men today.

Mills started by talking about “Sex,” sharing with the audience the latest information on sexually-transmitted diseases including AIDS/HIV, gonorrhea, Chlamydia, syphilis and drug-resistant staph.

The next segment of Mills’ presentation, “Drugs,” dealt with ketamine (‘K” or “Special K”), GHB, crystal meth and other popular but problematic party substances. The “Hard Bodies” portion of the discussion dealt with the use of testosterone and anabolic steroids.

Other topics of discussion included poppers, erectile-dysfunction remedies such as Viagra/Levitra/Cialis, and the need for people living with HIV to be aware of cardiovascular and cardiopulmonary health issues.

Leather Prideof maltodextrins is that they do not act adversely on the intestinal tract. Consequently, they are particularly useful as a bulking agent as a fat substitute. Moreover, maltodextrins are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the united States Food and Drug Administration.
Unfortunately, the ability to disperse maltodextrins and to use them in different products is limited by their physical and chemical cohesiveness. They are unlike their high sugar counterparts in that they are relatively unreactive and physically resistive to mixing and dispersing. While artisans have been able to process sugar to enhance its utility in food and medicaments, the maltodextrins do not appear to be as versatile.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,855,326, issued Aug. 8, 1989, various substances having pharmacological properties were combined with sugar and spun into fibers
