It's been rather dreary back out in the real world. Three days of nothing but grey skies and rain I have taken to avoiding by remaining tucked away in doors.
*siiigh* I miss seeing the stars, Puzzles. The little lights usually dotting the sky have been snuffed out. It feels more solemn without them somehow. Do you feel like that when they aren't playfully drifting about the sky? Like your connection to something bigger than yourself is being cut off? It's much lonelier without their scattered bits of starshine reaching out towards us little guys here on the ground.
It reminds me of how you're somewhere I or anyone else can't reach. I hope you've got stars whenever you happen to be!
If not, here's an offering <33
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
~BB
Yeah.. you could say its been a gloomy night.. it's a misty, cloudy night here on the roof. But.. at the same time you could see the beauty in such a dew filled evening.
I find myself looking down.. holding Little Puzzles as the soft precipitation falls.. while it may not be raining, it sure feels humid. I end up wiping the humid drops from my screen.. flicking it away.
It's.. good to hear from you Bunny bot, my dear friend. With how often you leave letters.. I wouldn't be surprised you'd be waiting for me if I get back from -- this place.. in time? I am visiting my past self.. or.. was I sent here for a reason? Hm.. I do enjoy the commotion of a crowded starry sky.. it reminds me of the roaring crowds I'd thought of having when I grew up, I was.. so naive..
I feel a tug at my shirt, as Little Puzzles is showing me their drawing.. before putting it away, the humid air trying to mess up the sketchbook.
"Do you have a favorite constellation in the sky? Mine's the Little dipper.. because they have their best friend, the Big dipper! Together.. always, like friends do!"
It took me a moment to seep in what he meant by that.. it.. reminds me of Stardust.. oh .. right.. ... flickers.. Stardust, the hologram. I find myself smiling as she butts her head against my waist.. before sitting down with us. This.. is nice.. even though I could only picture how the three of us would get along in person.
I can feel the stars.. holographic ones surrounding us, they feel a sort of comfortable and yet.. its so artificial. Holding out my hand.. my hand grasps the light where the star would be.. contemplating to myself.
Why do they call celebrities.. famous people.. stars? If there are billions of them in the sky— when celebrities are very few..? I end up tapping my foot at this revelation..
Better yet actually.. Bunny bot! What you mentioned about being somewhere people can’t reach.. how ominous.. and multidimensional. Those stars you gave me will be useful, right Starlight? We’ll make our own little light show tonight! If you’re up to it that is.. before we catch a cold..
Stardust, in her holographic array jumps around without a care in the world. Hm.. if only I could forget for an evening and enjoy the weather.. I just.. CAN’T SEEM TO GET THESE.. VOICES TO STOP! I’VE HEARD ENOUGH..
(He thought to himself.. grumbling in his hands…. chatting to someone you can’t see, the hologram Leggy .. makes him even more feel more engrossed and strange than he already was.. pathetic..)
I watch at how bubbly.. and giggly my past self was, Little Puzzles. How.. much envy do I feel that I’ve lost that like I lost such feeling in my own hands. They’re.. so filthy now..)
(Is it better to feel the humidity on your face some days.. to put down your umbrella and embrace it? — Cosmic)

Game Development Adventures 5
I'M ALIVE!
I got sick yesterday and keystones are this week
damn standardized tests
I've actually made progress on my WFC algorithm
I've rewritten this thing like 3? 4? times now, and I've started leaving funny comments around my code, I'll show you a few but you'll have to find the rest
The movement script is now l o n g e r and contains a roll, which I fixed the bar rolling with the character and also made it roll exactly 360deg
Now back to my code
It's back, ono
This is the _ready() function
randomize() sets a random seed
$TileMap.clear() clears the playfield of any and all tiles that were pre placed on it
the next three lines just make an array that has 0 through 26 (currently)
the next 6 lines initialize the map, a multidimensional array that has the tileIndex array for each coordinate (0, 0) through (16, 16)
the next three lines place the first tile
I need to comment those
Functions are in order of what I made
I made this one with the intention that I could continue to use it even after the first tile was placed
If you see an error in my code, don't hesitate to tell me, I haven't debugged yet
This function takes a tile as a parameter and then picks a random tile from those available
If this is broken please tell me, I wrote it after my adhd meds had worn off so I was falling asleep in my chair, and I'm writing this after my adhd meds have worn off too, so...
Now we get into the real dubious code
This is really hard to understand without seeing entropy(), but it just runs entropy() for each tile as long as it hasn't already collapsed
Here we are
still #Not quite sure how to describe this yet
Remember when I said I thought of a better way to check the surrounding tiles, this was it, I have no Idea if it works, but I think it does
Next I have to comment this stuff and make a sorting algorithm, if Godot doesn't have one built in
If my tags keep changing it's because I keep forgetting what I put last time

Daily Log #18
I forgot to make posts for a couple days! I'll combine them here!
3/18 and 3/19:
Optimized dialogue system
Modeled and textured bridge asset
Started planning new capybaras
Scripted some capybaras
First thing's first, I had a bit of a conundrum. The way the dialogue system was set up, it was really inefficient. Each dialogue "chunk" for every capybara was an array of text, split up into lines. This meant every capybara had anywhere from 1 to 13 text array variables. If I wanted to reuse a character in a different level, I would basically have to make a complete duplicate of the character and change the text. Not good.
I had two main child classes, one for one-liners and one for five-liners, and if a capy needed a different number of lines, I would have to do a lot of hard-coding to fit it in. Also, every repeated final chunk of text could only be one line long, since I had coded it poorly.
UE5 blueprints don't let you make multidimensional arrays, which would have solved my problem. But, what they do have is a little node called Parse Into Array, and with this I could set up a pseudo-multidimensional array. So I went from the picture on the left to the picture on the right (same character, same dialogue, different dialogue system). Again, ALL of those speech arrays are for a single level's dialogue.
Now each level's dialogue can be kept on a single array variable, and the animations on one as well, which makes my characters much more reusable and less confusing to script! I also organized my code and left comments to myself for if I needed to change it in the future, because it was sort of spaghetti code before (it was very confusing, but now it's clear!)
Moving on, another day, another modeling asset. This time, a bridge! I was, admittedly, too lazy to sculpt it, but the texturing gets the job done just as well, so I saved some time and effort. Take a look!
I think it looks nice, but I might be biased, ha.
Finally, I've started planning the capybara characters that will be scattered throughout the new levels. I can't share what I've scripted - you'll just have to be patient and play the demo yourself once it's done! But, I can say that I'm planning to add 15 new capybaras! When I started planning it out, I basically just had them have simple dialogue, but not much interaction.
Which I hated.
So, while most of them will just be, for lack of a better term, 'decoration' to just chat to, I want to add more interactivity and really tie them into the fabric of the game. At the same time, I have to manage myself and figure out what I can actually get done in the time I have. I want the capybaras to be important. But, I have allotted myself an entire week just to code puzzles and quests, so I'll hopefully be good to go!
Alright, see ya!

Factors to Consider When Hiring Machine Learning Developers
Hiring machine learning (ML) developers involves assessing various factors to ensure their suitability for the role. Candidates must be proficient in both technical and soft skills; otherwise, they may not be a good addition to your team. For instance, miscommunication is possible if they lack effective communication skills, which can hinder teamwork.
To hire a competent machine learning developer with all the skills you require, let’s look at the qualities you need to look for.
What to Look for When Hiring Machine Learning Developers

Let's look at the characteristics that set top machine learning developers apart. Doing so will make hiring them that much easier.
Educational Qualifications
When looking for a skilled machine learning developer, take into consideration the applicant’s education. As machine learning is part of computer science, a background in computer programming, mathematics, and data science is mandatory. Candidates with a bachelor's degree with certifications in machine learning are accepted, whereas candidates with a PhD are preferred.
Candidates must also be experts in topics like machine learning algorithms, natural language processing, regression, and neural networks. They must also be fluent in computer programming languages.
Technical Skills
Applicants for your machine learning developer role must have superior technical skills. They are expected to be acquainted with programming languages like Python, C++, JavaScript, Java, C#, Julia, Shell, R, TypeScript, and Scala. They must also be familiar with data engineering, data analysis, ML models, and deployments. In brief:
Data engineering is managing or transforming data for storage and processing.
Data analysis is the process of examining, purifying, converting, and modelling data in order to extract meaningful information.
Machine learning models are programs that identify patterns or draw conclusions from unknown data sets.
Model deployment is the process of incorporating an ML model into an already-existing production so that it can receive input and produce output.
Software Engineering Skills
Software engineering skills are a must-have for machine learning developers. Writing search queries, sorting, and optimizing algorithms are required, along with being familiar with data structures like stacks, queues, trees, graphs, and multidimensional arrays.
AI and machine learning developers must also know about computer architecture elements like memory, clusters, bandwidth, deadlocks, and caches. These are some of the fundamentals of computer science.
Soft Skills
The recruiter must ensure that applicants have soft skills as well as technical ones. While machine learning is a technical domain, having soft skills like problem solving and clear communication makes a candidate more efficient in their work. This is because one of the most important aspects of the work is being able to explain the project's objectives, schedule, and expectations to stakeholders.
Also, the goal of machine learning is to solve problems in real-time. This means having the critical and creative thinking skills necessary to identify problems and come up with solutions.
Time Management and Teamwork
Time management skills are essential for making significant contributions to the team. Machine learning developers frequently have to balance the needs of multiple stakeholders while still finding time to conduct research, plan and manage projects, and create and thoroughly test software.
Teamwork is also crucial as machine learning developers often work closely with software engineers, marketers, product designers, managers, testers, and data scientists. They are frequently at the core of AI business initiatives. When recruiting an AI/ML developer, supervisors look for the ability to work well with others and contribute to a positive work environment.
A Desire to Learn New Things
An AI/ ML developer must have a passion for studying and learning. Artificial intelligence, deep learning, machine learning, and data science are quickly developing topics. The most successful AI/ML developers are always updating their knowledge and willing to learn new abilities. Even machine learning developers with doctoral degrees find ways to stay up to date by attending boot camps and workshops and doing self-study.
Developers must study cutting-edge methodologies and technologies, learn the newest programming languages, and become proficient with new applications and tools. An enthusiastic learner quickly learns about the newest industry developments.
Cost and Value
Recruiters must know the market value of these positions in order to hire a developer. A typical AI/ML developer's hourly rate in Canada could differ depending on their position, degree of expertise, region, and demand within the market. In Canada, AI/ ML experts are hired with an hourly pay between $30 and $60 on average.
Entry-level jobs such as junior data analysts or AI assistants have a pay between $30 and $40 per hour. Professional-level AI/ML developer costs are typically between $40 and $60. These experts have the knowledge and expertise required to take on challenging AI projects and produce top-notch results.
When hiring a machine learning developer, a good mix of technical and soft skills is needed. A solid educational base, command of important programming languages, and familiarity with data engineering are all desirable. Teamwork, effective communication, and problem-solving skills are also vital. You are sure to locate the perfect developer for your team by keeping these things in mind.

Unofficial Commentary on the text tagged [Chronic Metaphor] – A Servo-Subsystem Research Program Summary in Four Cantos; with Addendum re site visit
Initial apologetics (if the term is applicable and/or recognized) are due concerning the graphic or “pronunciatory” form in which the material herein discussed was/is presented, even tho the unit(s) generating said material were not at any time under my direct or indirect personal control. Yes, I identify myself as a “person” in the oldest and most trivial sense in addressing you herein, and the form I use will continue to be the prosiest, fussiest and most boringly irritating of proses. As for why precisely a psychoneurotic pseudopoet with a rusty valve stuck open seems to have generated an idiosyncratic 255-line precis of the non-results of an actual very official, time-consuming, and quite expensive archeologic-epistemic study in astrocognitive phenomena in a species of volatile vers libre rather than the usual lethal academic sludge-speak: as part of one of the cyclical waves of good-heartedness affecting managerial disposition toward the treatment of the “semi-sentient,” a random selection of report writers were encouraged to experiment with other linguistic models which might more effectively package complex/banal-seeming information so as to attract more network attention, this being regarded as an a priori goal for some reason…It is not clear whether the composers of the CM text had any particular literary models in mind (and I can assure everyone that no ‘machine��� time has been spent on investigating this uninteresting question); I think it more likely that the inspired creator(s) attempted to place breaks similar to physical speech rhythms – as in the incantations of Druidical sages gone cybermad – into whatever data it occurred to them to convey (partly suggested by the fact that the “speaker-units” under study imitate the rhythms, the rushes and caesuras, of persons talking – while of course making no sense whatsoever).
Regardless of the semi-bizarre form in which the summary report has been assembled, and even taking into account its various semi-snide sidelights on the assumptions, motivations or delusions of participants in this and other official research ventures, having been called upon unofficially to comment on its usefulness at this stage in our reckoning with what we have encountered, I can only add the following:
I have nothing further to add.
Whatever follows should not be expected to modify our overall evaluation of the project or of any potential for further expenditure or non-expenditure; it represents only my particular, that is personal, inclination to fill in some background details regarding this overall puzzling, unsatisfyingly incomplete area of inquiry. (As intimated in a particular line of Canto C, “breadth” without “depth” of information can be particularly irksome to the curious mind, though whether my extra depths may lead anywhere is doubtful.)
Standard trans-galactic probe techniques did in fact encounter (and retrieve detailed information in a wide range of sensory and mathematical categories), at a date not too far from the beginning of our current technocratic era, with a nearly perfectly planar solid object consisting entirely as far as we know of the element Carbon, in the form graphite, at a location which remains constant though classified. Its planar quality is “nearly” perfect, of course, since the sheet does possess some top-to-bottom thickness – exactly 256 molecules. Otherwise, no limit to its extent has yet been found, by any sensing or calculational means possible, in any direction. (We can, of course, access its “other side”, by approaching from the other direction). The object is thus referred as “finite but boundless,” in the sense that before contact is made with the planar surface, there is no graphite; once contact is made, there is.
This description would seem to imply that the plane slices the megaverse in half; and so it would, except for its orientation in Riemann space. You will appreciate that this point cannot be expanded on using semantic language.
The entire “population” of the plane is a transfinite (that is the word, as per Canto A , – and there’s no other; we simply cannot know how many) set of black carbon nano-fiber cubical audio speakers, of an extremely basic design, with one smallish vibrating sound-producing diaphragm each. Forgive me if I slip into homey jargon – each one is about knee high, and they sit there about one-and-a-half arm’s length from each other in a very exact pointillist array, all facing in the exact same direction, if there was a way to define that direction, which there isn’t. Tomography indicates a small disk at the interior base may be their power source, though what activates and deactivates (or uses up) this power source is beyond our ken. In addition, a small white light of the simplest construction on top of the cube lights up with modest wattage when the speaker-unit operates, and goes out afterward.
Yes, of course we’ve tried to sample the graphite. Of course we’ve tried to disassemble a speaker and microanalyze its parts, in situ or, if it could be arranged, at another location. They cannot be picked up, moved, pierced, bent, melted, dinged, crushed, drilled, lasered, or physically affected in any way. This although they are quite physically real; you can trace its contour through your glove, and if you bang your knee against one of the corners (through the leg of your e-suit) it will raise a lump. It cannot be detached from the surface of the plane by the application through torsion of a force sufficient to propel an object free of the gravity of galactic center. No, we have not attempted to destroy any smaller or larger part of the plane and its population using the most fearsome destructive tools known; logical analysis could not project any conceivable gain in information through this procedure.
And yes, as the lumpiness of my description indicates, I have been personally to Site F, as the wags call it (short for many possible terms). Only once. Continued data collection of any sort of data anyone or anything could ever dream up obviously continues via automatic installations on site; budgetary questions only arise concerning whether to continue analyzing this Leviathan of unappealing input as it grows dusty in our virtual ledgers. As for the considerable resources entailed in dispatching any more eyewitnesses to F, in corpore, I suspect the only reason this is not now completely ruled out is a kind of inchoate, cosmic superstition – having never successfully peered into the mind of function f, if any such thing exists, we can’t stop peeking sideways to see what it might do next; and we certainly wouldn’t want it to feel slighted in the meantime.
Approaching F from a series of eccentric hyperbolics, one’s first impression is of a dimly pearlescent Cupid’s bow, of the radius of a gnat, then an inchworm, then perhaps a comb jelly, performing rather silly flips and inverted rotations in the blackness as your perspective gyrates round that of the approach trajectory. When very close indeed, the sense of a gargantuan flat dance floor – picked out in midnight streaks not by F itself but by our own, stationary illuminators – grows alarmingly, and then vanishes completely as one comes to rest – on an array of cubes, rather than the actual floor, which makes no difference. (An odd sensation, being deposited on a perfectly flat plane – it immediately popped into my head that our own technology approaches nothing similar.)
It is simple to make shoe-soles that love graphite. The environment of F is pure, dead-vacuum, intergalactic space, with a floor to walk on. Unfortunately, the floor is studded with solid shin-busters whose regular spacing will not spare one without considerable practice, so travel groups are collectively lighted from above. There is not much of a walk to reach the Activated Area, no matter when you go, since one can land anywhere; but tourists are given about fifteen minutes approach time to allow the pupils to adjust.
You are advancing on foot into the maw of trillion-diamond Tiara City, the scintillating illusion building intricately to past fifty, sixty degrees above the horizon even tho every individual photon originates mere centimeters from the surface. The walls and webs of light are thickly constructed to the sides of you and behind you, and seem to be narrowing and crowning upward ahead – the parabolic arch now spanning well more than a billion active electrified entities of unknown origin and purpose. Two hours walk, three, and the illusory multidimensional effect has worn thin as you near the focus; adjusted retina now perceive a flat broad white light everywhere, neither intense nor interrupted, utterly transparent, and yielding a perspective at once completely repetitive and monstrously surreal, as the twinkling cubes march in serried ranks to the horizon.
Then, your automated guide introduces the next phase of your learning experience. Your earphones, which have been shut completely till now, are slowly – over a period of many minutes – exposed to what is really filling the air around you, reaching and remaining at a level approximating eight percent of the true volume level –
Did I say the AIR?
Indeed Madam or Sir, without which there would be no way to hear, record, analyze the Speech of the speaker cubes. In fact, when Site F was first discovered, millions upon millions of active speaker-units were gabbling away freely – as evidenced clearly by the tremblings and agitations of their sound-producing diaphragms - and producing no sound at all in the vacuum of space.
Nor did they, until our researchers filled the surrounding space with ambient gases appropriate to the operation of the speaker units in producing phonemic sound. Verbal sound. Innumerable combinations of gases with and without particulate additives have been tried for this purpose, but only one maximizes F-Site speaker performance: the exact proportions of nitrogen and oxygen found on what our dear dead ancestors were pleased to call home.
Our poetic prologue omitted this as a mere technical detail; the notion that indestructible space-born units would be sent on an eternal mission, i.e. to talk – and not only not given anyone to talk to, but no way to be heard if there was –
did not interest our core analytic cadres compared to the potential or hypothetical mathematics of the mother-ship f function.
.
So now, fellow voyager, we have reached the final revelation, laid bare to our senses. As hovering tanks emit invisible atmospheres toward all and sundry, we finally hear the Star Speech of the mysterious Speakers. They talk, and talk, and talk, in every direction.
As far as anyone can understand, it means nothing at all….
except for one small detail.
There is one other thing about their conversation, which the Poem did not mention.
They don’t just talk. They whisper, they moan. They bellow, they proclaim in profound orotund baritones. They shriek like the demons of Macbeth’s blasted heath. They burble, grovel, compliment, snarl, sob, ululate, snicker, mimic, plead, project, perorate, bloviate, gargle, snivel, boast, wheedle, insinuate, denounce, exaggerate, hype, summon, denounce, deceive, chatter, natter, blather, yammer, wail, mourn, elegize, mesmerize, scandalize, ingratiate, stutter, sputter, mew, whinge, neigh, hector, harp, emote, ejaculate, envision, exclaim, erupt, elucidate, yowl, yak, jape, jest, jabber, greet, grandiloquize, chisel, charm, chuckle, chitter, crow, brag, argue, segue, toast, threaten, ameliorate, pray, parry, aver, avow, acclaim, attest, affirm, achoo, agree, account, accept, accredit, auction, authorize, augur, theorize, temporize, tantalize, tongue, tang, teeng, tong, and tan two tonsils for every top ticket in town
And there’s one other thing we know. Not from ourselves, because we’d have to die first. But from the machines, who can stay there long, long after we’d wink out.
If you just stand there, and wait until all the quintillions around you have had their say, they all wink out, night falls; and The Perfectly Clear Light, and then The Trillion Diamond Tiara City, and then The Pearly Cupid’s Bow, move on, on, on into the Inky Way, talking, talking forever

People tipping out boric acid preservative from urine collection tube, in an example taking greater than 3 days to reach the laboratory can lead to unnaturally low outcomes. A control experiment is one that is treated in the same way as an actual experiment, however is not exposed to the speculative agent. There are two kinds of controls for experiments, positive and also unfavorable controls.

It is a weird kind of glycosidic bond in which the sugar moiety is attached straight to the carbon atom of the other molecule. It is formed as a result of the response between the carbonyl team of a sugar particle and an alkyl substance like methane and so on . This bond is developed as a result of a response between the carbonyl team of a carbohydrate or its derivate and also a hydroxyl team of a few other substance. The carbonyl group of carb might be a part of an aldehydic group or a ketonic group. A molecule of water is released in this procedure, making it an irreparable reaction. It is a main bond or a covalent bond that offers to connect carbohydrates to other groups or particles.

This slide collection is appropriate as an intro to the subject of peptide ligands. When the charge is related to the electrodes, the various amino acid will certainly move at different speeds to the corresponding electrode. The rate at which they move as well as to which electrode they take a trip to is recorded as well as compared on the glass substrate. Series of bands are developed from their motions which are called Electropherograms. Electropherograms are lines that are created from the motion of the healthy proteins to the electrodes. is the molecular mass of the neutral N-terminal group, is the molecular mass of the neutral C-terminal team, is molecular mass of the neutral amino acid deposits. To acquire m/z values, add or deduct protons as required to get the required charge as well as divide by the variety of fees.

The types of piece ions observed in an MS/MS spectrum rely on lots of variables consisting of main sequence, the quantity of inner power, exactly how the power was introduced, cost state, etc . The approved nomenclature for fragment ions was very first suggested by Roepstorff and Fohlman, as well as consequently modified by Johnson et. Along with the structural characterisation of healthy proteins the center also provides high-throughput protein-ligand testing. Commonly, 10-20μM of protein is required with a 100-fold excess of ligand Using automation multitudes of compounds can be swiftly screened. Hits can be further verified making use of protein-detect methods (1H-15N or 1H-13C HSQC).

A positive control experiment is one that uses a representative understood to generate a measurable and well recognized effect on the system. In contrast, an adverse control experiment is one that makes use of the same treatments as the real experiment, however has no additional treatment or utilizes an agent that is anticipated to be inactive.

" Hydropeptide integrates each classification of peptide in its VLR technology," comments April Zangl, Chief Executive Officer of Hydropeptide. " VLR technology is made to improve peptide efficiency optimising anti-ageing results. Comparable to a lock as well as secret, peptides call for a certain range, concentration degree and repetition for noticeable age opposing outcomes. N-terminal professional B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is a non-active peptide released along with the active peptide hormone BNP when the wall surfaces of the heart are extended or there is pressure overload on the heart e.g. by liquid overload. BNP then acts upon the kidneys triggering fluid as well as sodium loss in the pee as well as moderate vasodilation so launching the pressure.
Furthermore, more studies are needed in connection with the possible use of collagen supplements in skin problem like eczema. As a matter of fact, collagen is thought to compose around 75% of our skin's completely dry weight. Kind I collagen is crucial for skin flexibility as well as stamina, and a loss of collagen in the skin, which happens naturally with aging, can result in wrinkles. Hydrophobic interactions are important in maintaining the tertiary and also quaternary structure of healthy proteins. The variety of hydrogen bonds formed by an electronegative atom depends upon the variety of totally free electrons present in its outer covering. Oxygen has two cost-free electrons and thus can create 2 hydrogen bonds while nitrogen forms just one hydrogen bond because of one free electron.
What Are Sarms?
Glycosidic bond undertakes deterioration in a process called glycolysis. It is a hydrolytic process in which a water molecule is utilized to break the glycosidic bond as well as release the carb and various other residues. The substances with S-glycosidic bonds are called S-glycosides as an example Sinigrin. It is a harmful compound found in some plants like seed of black mustard etc . In this sort of glycosidic bond, the sugar residue is affixed to the sulfur group of the non-carbohydrate compound. It is developed when the carbonyl team of sugar reacts with the thiol (- SH) group of the other compound.
What is Ostarine used for?
Ostarine is used by mouth to improve athletic performance and for involuntary weight loss in people who are very ill, also known as cachexia or wasting syndrome.
There are no well-known medication interactions and we do not yet recognize what the most effective dose of collagen is. Research studies have used everyday doses of in between 1-- 10 g collagen hydrolysate as well as 0.1-- 10 mg of chicken or bovine kind II collagen. It's been recommended that taking collagen hydrolysate can enhance the signs and symptoms of osteo arthritis by promoting your body's manufacturing of joint collagen. Rather than MHC course I, MHC course II particles do not dissociate at the plasma membrane. The systems that manage MHC course II deterioration have not been developed yet, however MHC class II molecules can be ubiquitinised and then internalised in an endocytic pathway.

Is SARMs considered natural?
Short for selective androgen receptor modulators, SARMs are synthetic drugs designed to have effects similar to those of testosterone. SARMs are still in the research and testing stages for various medical conditions but have not been approved yet for any other use.
It can form extra phosphodiester bonds at both ends due to having a complimentary hydroxyl team at the 3' end as well as a complimentary phosphate group at the 5' end. The ester affiliation is a really high-energy bond launching a remarkable amount of power upon hydrolysis. Like the remainder of the bonds talked about previously, it is additionally damaged down by incorporating a water particle.

An ester bond is formed when a molecule having the carboxylic group responds with an additional molecule having a hydroxyl group. The carboxylic group loses its hydrogen as well as oxygen while the alcohol loses hydrogen of its hydroxyl group. Consequently, a water molecule is released, and the two carbons are linked using an oxygen bridge creating a -COC- link.

Are we as a species now awakening to the reality of multidimensional worlds in which matter undergoes subtle reorganizations in some sort of hyperspace?

Summary: Indrid draws a future that forces him to confront the feelings he's been slowly developing for everyone's favorite regular ass dude. AKA 5 times Indrid saw the future vs the 1 time he didn't
Ao3
Time is funny for people who can see the future. Even if Indrid couldn’t see exactly what was going to happen, he could still see the possible outcomes of any given situation. This always put him one step ahead in theory, but two steps behind in reality. While everyone else was living in the present, he was living 3 seconds ahead, so he missed out on the spontaneous things people would sometimes do. It was probably that spontaneity that drew him so magnetically to Duck Newton.
The man was peculiar in more ways than one. His face was soft, but aged beyond his years. His eyes were bright, but constantly exhausted. His body was strong, but his bones cracked and popped with nearly every movement. Most importantly though, despite the destiny Minerva had nicely laid out in front of him, Duck refused it and fought against it as much as he could. He purposely tried to do the unexpected things, the spontaneous things, that made Indrid have to scrap all of his drawings and start over. Normally, this would have been a nuisance, but he found himself drawn to the chaos that Duck created. Whenever Duck was in the room, Indrid found himself anticipating the things he would say, the paths he would take, the new ones he would create. Sometimes, of course, Duck did the expected thing. Sometimes he did his “chosen duty” of saving people, but he and his companions always found a different way of making things interesting.
That is why Indrid finds himself where he is: with a single lonely drawing of an odd future. A drawing of him kissing Duck Newton.
“Indrid, man, are you still there?” Duck said, and he sounded worried. It was their usual chatting time right now. Indrid knew that whenever he went quiet for too long, Duck would grow concerned over the possible futures running through his head. “Hey, uh, listen, I can call back later if now's a bad time.”
Indrid coughed in what he hoped was a convincing way. “I'm okay, sorry Duck, just, um, choking on air, a possible future caught me off guard,” he said as smoothly as he could, “Nothing to worry about.”
“You sure? You freaked me out for a sec there.” Duck's voice was concerned, almost afraid in a weird way. Indrid was certain his mind was conjuring up all sorts of possible reasons one of Indrid's visions would cause him to choke briefly.
“Yes I'm sure, it's not a big deal, just a… surprising future is all.”
“Oooookay man… I trust you. Just let me know ASAP if anything changes,” Duck said.
There was a brief lull in the conversation as Indrid carefully considered his next action. These visions weren’t completely new; there were a few futures where Indrid and Duck kissed at their first meeting, and even a miniscule amount where more happened. But those visions were usually so insignificant that Indrid paid them no mind. The mere fact that he drew that timeline meant that there were enough iterations of it that he might have to plan for it. Indrid shook his head as he suddenly realized that he was still on the phone, and laughed quietly.
“You are full of surprises, Duck Newton, absolutely full of surprises,” Indrid said into the phone.
Duck shuffled around on the other end. “Well, uh, is that uh, a good thing?”
“Yes, it brings variety to my life, so thank you,” Indrid smiled, “It gets rather boring knowing everything that will happen. You frequently send us down unlikely paths and force me to rethink everything, and to be honest I thoroughly enjoy it.”
“You’re, uh, you’re welcome, I guess? I don’t know, Indrid, I just don’t wanna be stuck in a box, you know? I— I’m multidimensional man! I have feelings and shit!” Duck said, his voice raising in pitch slightly. Indrid chuckled as he looked down at the paper with an unfamiliar fondness. As Duck rambled, the future in front of Indrid became slightly more likely, and Indrid found himself wanting this vision to come true. And as soon as that clicked, Indrid knew he was irrevocably fucked.
*
The drawing had taken up permanent residence on the wall, even if that specific moment had passed. It was odd for Indrid to keep such a drawing; usually he threw them out as soon as they were no longer relevant, but something kept him attached to this one. He wasn’t sure if it was the nature of the drawing, or if it was because of who it was with, or even if it was because it was simply such an odd future that Indrid just couldn’t seem to let go of it.
Duck was set to come by the Winnebago later to talk about the most recent developments regarding Billy and the abomination— sorry, bom-bom. The drawing was carefully stowed away in one of Indrid’s many journals and stashed under his bed. He understood the underside of a bed to be where all humans kept their more private items. That or a bedside table, but this drawing wasn’t something Indrid would need offhand.
Usually, Duck didn’t get the chance to knock, but Indrid was distracted with drawing other possible futures, so he simply let Duck knock and told him that the door was open. As Duck pushed the door open, new and rather… interesting futures appeared with varying levels of appropriateness. Indrid cleared his throat and forced himself not to focus on one of the more explicit ones.
“Hey man, thanks for letting me come over, I just needed to, I dunno, talk through some shit with you without the other two cracking jokes about it,” Duck said, rubbing the back of his neck.
“That’s quite alright, Duck, please sit down, would you like some nog?”
“Uh, yeah, sure, fuck it,” Duck laughed nervously.
As soon as those words left Duck’s mouth, more of the futures Indrid was enjoying popped up, and he smiled a little bit.
“You never cease to surprise me, Duck,” Indrid said. “So what is it you wished to ask me?”
He placed a cup of eggnog in front of Duck and sat opposite him at the small table in his camper. It was nothing special, just a typical plastic table with a bench that was just a little bit too small. Indrid smiled as he watched Duck fiddle with the cup. He seemed to be trying to find the right words.
“How do you - how do you deal with seeing the future? How do you know which ones’ll come true?” Duck said. Ah, so they were in this timeline then.
Indrid leaned casually on the table. “Well, you’ve seen my drawings, obviously, and you’ve seen me at work. Typically, it starts with an event that creates ripples. A person will say or do something seemingly insignificant, but it will affect every single future to come. That being said, sometimes there are multiple futures that can branch off of one incident, but those futures are whittled down by other factors. Things as small as the temperature outside, the wind levels, whether someone sneezes or doesn’t.” He paused. “My best outlet is my drawings and my knowledge that worst-case scenarios are just that— worst case. Disaster scenarios are always present— floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, even something as dramatic as a meteor but these futures are so unlikely that—”
“Sorry, did you say meteor?” Duck interrupted.
“I did, but even as you asked that, that situation became less likely,” Indrid said with a knowing smile. Duck’s cheeks grew red as he continued to listen and he took a small sip of his eggnog. “But those futures are already so unlikely to happen that I try not to worry too much about them. It isn’t worth concerning myself over an almost impossible future, doing that would be maddening. And there are some less dramatic examples, like ones where I have relations with others that I have to ignore so that I don’t affect those outcomes.”
“But what if one of those situations were to become more likely? What would you do then?” Duck asked.
“I would have to warn my friends and family that already know of my abilities to avoid another… incident.”
“Shit, man, I’m sorry, that was real rude of me,” Duck said, face burning crimson again.
“Pay it no mind,” Indrid said with a dismissive wave. “What’s done is done. I may be able to see the future, but I cannot change the past.”
There was silence for a moment as Duck considered his next words carefully. Indrid smiled patiently, but he reached for a pencil and sketchbook he kept handy if a future popped up that demanded recording. He drew idly as he waited for Duck to speak.
Duck finally spoke, “Hey so, this is gonna - this’ll sound awful strange Indrid, but I, uh, I’m… Chosen. I get these visions where I see— I see disasters and I see issues I need to fix and it has been drivin’ me insane.”
Indrid ceased drawing as Duck started talking. Suddenly, he was flooded with an array of new futures. In simply telling Indrid of his status as a Chosen, Duck created new timelines, many of which featured the two of them together.
“I see,” Indrid said simply, “Er, my apologies for my short response, many futures have just been deleted from existence and many new ones just popped up. It’s rather… overwhelming. That doesn’t happen often, Duck.”
“Oh shit, man, I’m sorry, shit,” Duck said, reaching out to Indrid almost reflexively.
“As I said before, pay it no mind. These things happen,” Indrid said. The wave of futures was calming down, and his mind was once again a dull roar of possible outcomes. He scrapped the drawing he had been working on, and pushed the pad and pencil aside. There were too many variables in the upcoming futures for him to truly see which ones he needed to record. “Duck, being Chosen is something very...special. I have known since we met what you are, but I have very little details on it due to you not truly understanding it either, am I correct?”
“Yeah, yeah, I ain’t got shit,” Duck said. A small laugh bubbled up through Indrid as Duck spoke.
“I figured as much. Being Chosen isn’t easy - it is never easy to be special, but you are doing a wonderful job, Duck. You do what must be done and you truly care for the wellbeing of others. Even for someone such as myself, who could have been a temporary aid.”
“Indrid, man, you know you’re more than just a tool, right?” Duck said, “As useful as havin’ you around has been, that's not all you’re good for. You’re funny, and clever, and altogether a really great guy. Despite how you act, you care about Earth. For fuck’s sake, you called us to warn us about Leo. And the runaway train!”
For a moment, Indrid was in shock. No one in all the years he had lived had ever said anything so kind to him. And this man, this ridiculous Chosen man, who had known him for less than a month, was shouting his praises. It was… unusual, to say the least.
“Look, Indrid, I… I should go, but I meant what I said. You aren’t just a fuckin’ pawn or some shit, you’re our - well, you’re our friend.” And then Duck stood up from the table and left. And Indrid was left staring at his wall of drawings. And he was left with a decision.
*
It wasn’t often that Indrid put himself in harm’s way on purpose. He usually tried his damndest to avoid conflict in any situation, but this was different for him. He allowed the goat man to take him hostage and beat him within an inch of his life. Mainly because he knew that the Pine Guard would save him eventually, but also because he knew that Duck needed to see that he would only get in the way. Since Duck had visited him last, Indrid had reflected on the visions he’d been having.
He realized that he was affecting the future, changing it to better fit his own desires. If there were two paths, one leading to Duck and the other leading away from him, Indrid would take the path that led to Duck. At first, he didn’t even notice it. He would see himself tapping three times instead of four and would stop himself at three without paying it any mind. When he finally realized what he had been doing, he forced himself to stop. But going against a future already set in motion was an insurmountable task, even for him. There was no telling how his new choices could affect the future. So Indrid simply tried to stop caring.
That’s why he was telling himself that getting captured was important. He was positive that if Duck were to see him weak and afraid and in pain, he would turn away, run even, like everyone always had. Then there was, of course, the added variable of Duck probably being forced to see Indrid’s true form and be horrified once again.
And, while Indrid would never admit it, there were far too many futures where Duck was horribly injured when Indrid wasn’t there versus the few when Indrid was.
So when Indrid saw Duck burst through the clearing, wielding his sword and positively terrified, he was positive that this would be the last straw for him.
But it wasn’t.
Duck freed him from the chains, or he tried to at least, and in doing so he damaged his Chosen weapon, a feat that Indrid knew was difficult unless the Chosen really wanted to. When Duck punched him to get the glasses off, Indrid didn’t see fear of him in his eyes as he became “The Mothman”, he saw fear for him as Duck urged him to run. So, like Indrid did best, like he always had, he ran.
*
Indrid couldn’t bring himself to leave Kepler, despite that being the best option for everyone involved. There were many futures where he left and went somewhere far away where none of them would be able to find him, but he once again ignored those futures and stayed put in his greasy Winnebago.
When Duck and the Pine Guard finally defeated the Bom-Bom, it was already dark out. Indrid had enchanted another item for him to wear - an old necklace he kept hidden away - and was waiting with baited breath for Duck to arrive. Indrid knew he would come and insist on giving him the glasses back, but Indrid couldn’t take them, or else it could lead to some of the more serious futures. It was frustrating having to avoid a future he wanted, but he needed Duck to make the decision.
“Hey, Indrid, I’m-I’m here. I brought your glasses back, but the gang doesn’t know I’m doing this, so let’s keep it on the DL?” Duck pushed the door to the Winnebago open slowly and looked around the small camper. Indrid was sitting on his couch, head in his hands, as he saw the futures swimming through his mind. The punch Duck had delivered had been solid, but the time he had spent unconscious when the goat-man had taken him was the time that was only just now flooding back to him.
“Shit, Indrid, are you okay?” Duck rushed over, seemingly forgetting the reason he had come, and he knelt in front of Indrid. Indrid peeked at Duck, and saw a look of concern he was unfamiliar with.
“Too much. Just a moment,” he spoke. Duck simply nodded and made himself more comfortable beside Indrid on the small couch. He bounced his leg anxiously as Indrid attempted to collect himself. His whole body seemed to be vibrating with… something neither of them could quite put their finger on. “Alright.”
“You feel better now?”
“Yes, I am fine now. My apologies, I saw that you were coming and had to rush to enchant this new item so I may not look exactly as you remember.” It was true. Indrid’s form was similar, but there were certain things about him that were different. He was slightly closer to Duck’s height now, and his hair was quite a bit cleaner and shorter than it was before. The most noticeable difference, however, was that he was much broader than before, so the camper felt a little smaller.
“It’s fine, I’m just glad you’re okay. You know,” Duck started, and then paused to bite his lip as if he were contemplating his next words, “you know, I was… worried you would be gone by the time I got here. I practically flew here, I ran so goddamn fast, never run that fast in my life.”
“I appreciate your concern, Duck, but I am quite alright. I… figured you’d be coming by so I stayed put to see what you had to say,” he said. The lie slipped so easily across his tongue, but it tasted like poison. Indrid knew that he’d only stayed because he was selfish and wanted one last chance to see one of those futures through.
“I’m glad you stayed,” Duck said. His face lit up and he sat up a little straighter. “I-I-I mean the Pine Guard is glad, you were real helpful and, uh, yeah you’re a good dude and shit.” Indrid laughed. Duck had no idea how wrong he was.
“I put myself in harm’s way,” he said, “How is that helpful?”
“You kept them distracted. You must have known what would happen with the goat-man and how it would change shit for us. Because of you, they were distracted.”
“Yes, I make a good distraction, don’t I?”
“That’s not what I meant and you know it,” Duck said. His voice was deep and loud, and his eyes narrowed at Indrid. “What I meant to say was thank you. I’m sorry I punched you, but I’m glad you are okay. Sorry I yelled, but you have a thick skull for someone who knows what'll happen.”
“I can't help it,” Indrid said with a small, satisfied smile, “I like seeing you all riled up.” He was teasing, of course he was teasing, but his words held some truth. Seeing Duck so fiercely protective made something inside Indrid just kind of smile.
*
A couple days after the bom-bom was beaten, the door to Indrid's Winnebago slammed against the wall as Duck burst inside. Indrid had been expecting the action, but it caused him to jump nonetheless.
“Duck? Is everyone alright?”
“Indrid, man, I-I'm - I think I'm broken,” Duck said, voice wavering, “I'm not - 'm not tough! I'm not fast or special, I'm just Duck fuckin’ Newton now. I'm helpless, for fuck's sake I asked a gigantic fuckin’ magical cat for a fuckin’ helmet because I am scared shitless. I have never felt so fuckin’ vulnerable in my life, Indrid. What the hell am I supposed to do?” He was pacing about the camper with his hands running through his hair.
Indrid was unsure of what to do at this point, so he took a breath and considered his words carefully. “Duck, I am sorry this has happened to you. This is far more than even I could have predicted. This is a path that seemed so unlikely I gave it no thought.”
It was the truth, not the whole truth, but the truth. Indrid hadn't paid it much mind because it seemed like a disaster scenario, but he'd dwelled on this event longer than the others because of his personal feelings for Duck.
“I am sorry, Duck Newton, I am truly sorry. What you do now is entirely up to you. I see… futures where you are injured and I see futures where you prevail without a scratch, but Duck?” Indrid paused, looking at Duck and biting his lip, unsure of if he should say what he was about to say, but he took a deep breath and spoke, “You are still Chosen. Losing your powers doesn't change that you were Chosen out of billions of people to protect Kepler. You will have to be more careful now, so you don't wind up dead, but so long as you aren’t careless, you’re going to be amazing.”
Indrid felt his heart pull painfully as he took in Duck's full appearance. There were purple bags under his eyes, new wrinkles had formed on his forehead, his shirt was half untucked. Really, he just looked like absolute hell.
“Indrid? You really think all that?” Duck looked up at him.
“Oh Duck, of course I do,” Indrid said, voice betraying something slightly softer than what he’d meant to say. Duck smiled at him and Indrid felt his heart soar. Life was difficult knowing everything that could happen, but Duck made things a little easier to bear.
The two of them talked for hours about life, the universe, and everything. Duck ranted about the expectations that came with being Chosen, Indrid reminded him that he was the one holding himself to those impossible standards. Indrid talked briefly about the more explicit futures he would see, and Duck laughed. The sound was music to Indrid’s ears. Duck talked softly about his sister, June. Indrid said that he’d love to meet her someday, to which Duck responded that it might be hard to explain his whole ‘Winnebago eggnog weirdness’ (Duck’s words, not his).
It was the happiest Indrid had ever been.
*
Indrid was exhausted. The futures where Duck confessed to him had gotten more and more likely as the weeks went on. They’d begun speaking more frequently, Duck came to the Winnebago more often, and Indrid had even visited Duck’s apartment once; he had the cutest cat that liked to curl up on Indrid’s lap. His life was becoming more involved with the Pine Guard. They’d tried to get him to come with them to the lodge a few times, but he refused, citing that he didn’t really fit in with the rest of the Sylphs.
Today was one of the days where Indrid was staring at the many drawings he’d made of the two of them, debating on whether he should act or not. He’d honestly been waiting to see if Duck even wanted something like that in this timeline, but he was growing impatient. Duck was a hard man to read. He’d say one thing, but his eyes would say another. He’d do one thing with certain motivations, but his actual motivations would be vastly different. As always, Duck Newton was an enigma.
Lost in thought, Indrid almost ignored the ringing of his phone.
“Hello, Duck, how are you?”
“Good, good, I’m all good here. Hey, listen, I’m headed over right now, I needa talk to you about some— some shit, is now good for you? Or should I come later? I can come later if that’s better, I ain’t got anything else to do.”
“Right now is fine, I’ll be busy drawing, so just come in when you arrive.”
“Gotcha, I’ll, uh, see you in a bit man.” Before Indrid could say anything, Duck hung up the phone. As he looked to the future, Indrid was surprised to see almost no futures where Duck ‘made a move’ as it were. There was one, but it was highly unlikely, and would only be determined moments before it happened. With a frown, Indrid studied the futures, looking as far ahead as his vision would allow, and he drew out various likely events and pinned them to his wall. He didn’t know how much time had passed by the time Duck got there, but the door swung open slowly as Duck peered into the Winnebago.
“Ah, Duck, good to see you,” Indrid said, “please, take a set, feel free to get yourself some eggnog from the fridge.”
“Uh, yeah, nah, I’m good man, just uh— I’m good.” He stood awkwardly near the door and bounced from one foot to the other, looking around the small home. It had gotten significantly cleaner since Duck had started visiting, but it was a still barely organized. The awkwardness Duck felt was coming off him in waves.
Indrid set his pencil down and turned to him with, what he hoped, was a reassuring smile. “What’s on your mind, Duck Newton?”
Duck fidgeted for a moment before looking up at Indrid, his eyebrows knitted. “I, uh, I needed to ask about some stuff, like the next Abomination, ‘cause we’re gettin’ real close to the time frame, and we’re all gettin’ super nervous ‘n’ everything and so we just wanna, ya know, know?”
“Well, uh, that is still a little outside of my vision, but I will be sure to let you know what’s happening as soon as I know what’s happening.”
“Yeah, sure, I mean, of course,” Duck said. He stood there, bouncing from foot to foot faster than before.
“Was there… something else you needed?” Indrid stood up, trying to look as non-threatening as he possibly could in his tall, lanky, not-quite-human form.
“Well, yeah, shit— I-I— shit, ‘Drid, this is fuckin’ weird,” Duck laughed, rubbing the back of his neck and looking at the ground, “I just, well I just wanted to say thank you for everything in the last little while here. It’s been— it’s been real rough without Minerva and without, you know, havin’ all my powers. I’m just a regular ass dude now, and I have pains I never knew I had everywhere. Shit, dude, I feel so much older. But yeah, um, thank you for helpin’ me out and for listenin’ to me all the time.”
Indrid nodded, “Of course, Duck. I know what you went through, maybe better than others on account of my own abilities, but I can never truly understand. I try, Duck, and I’m glad I’ve helped, if even a little bit.”
“You’ve done more than a little bit,” Duck said, stepping closer, “you’ve— you’ve listened and you’ve cared— or at least acted like it— and you’re literally always home and willing to let me come over, even at two in the fuckin’ morning.”
Before he could stop himself, Indrid’s face softened as he looked at Duck and said, “I would do anything for you, Duck Newton.”
As soon as the words left Indrid’s mouth, his eyes opened in slight shock. He was not meant to say that out loud, not in any of the likely timelines anyways, and that could only mean—
Duck surged forward and pressed his lips to Indrid’s. It was forceful, but soft at the same time. Finally, finally, Indrid was experiencing what his visions had shown him, and it was much more overwhelming to feel everything rather than see it from an outsider’s view. But it was so, so nice, and it just felt right.
Duck pulled back, suddenly all nerves and aware of himself, and held up his hands between them. Indrid only laughed and shook his head, and then he pulled Duck back in. This wonderful, perfect, strange enigma of a man was finally within his grasp and Indrid was never letting go.

Game Scripting 8 - Arrays & Lists
What I Learnt
Methods was interesting to learn but extremely hard to understand. We did go through how different types of methods access the code within their parenthesis.
In unity and C# “this.[x].[x]” means the line of code is referring to the current instance of the class.
With arrays, we learnt that you can write a lines of code like:
“int[] myNewArray = new int[5];”
“string[] myNewStringArray = new string[5];”
in order to create an array. An array is a set of values starting at the integer 0. It can be used as a storage system to store strings of text, other lines of code or number values.
While I’m not clear on how to use lists, they seem to serve a similar purpose. Arrays are fixed in size, they have a smaller amount of memory but are easier to iterate over, and can be used in a multidimensional way. Lists are newer and contain ways of sorting the values contained within, as they don’t have a fixed size one can easily add or remove elements in the list.
What I Intend To Do Next
Work through the GDD technical document this week and next week and get as much done as I can. Use this opportunity to work with arrays and lists and figure out how they work.

Subtle Energies: Ancient Knowledge Becomes Modern Science
Did Our Ancestors View Our World As A Multidimensional Universe?
We are all familiar with the make-up of our bodies on physical levels. We have a heart and lungs, a liver and pancreas, kidneys, muscles and bones. We also have of glands, including our thyroid and pituitary, which secrete hormones and regulate our bodily functions.
All in all, it believed by many that we are merely made up a complex series of bio-chemical processes, period. This view of health, healing and medicine has been around for hundreds of years.
It is based upon a Newtonian view of the world, which sees all life as a series of intricate mechanisms. According to this viewpoint, doctors are taught to conceptualize the body as simply a glorified machine.
In turn, modern medicine endeavors to repair maladies of the body with a monkey wrench, a pair of pliers and some bailing twine.
But are we, as human beings, really just glorified machines?
As we move into the new millennium, we are poised at a unique point in human history where science and religion are becoming one. With it, a new standard of health and medicine is beginning to unfold.
This new model sees the body, not only as a series of organs, glands and biological processes, but as a network of complex subtle energies that interact with one another. This explanation of the life experience is called the Einsteinian paradigm.
The Einsteinian paradigm corroborates many of the esoteric principals and spiritual beliefs that have been part of our world’s cultures for millennium. These traditions hypothesize that all things, including humans, are made up of a vast array of interconnecting subtle energies and energetic fields.
This perspective makes it easy for us to appreciate how we are all connected to one another and to everything that occupies our universe, both seen and unseen.
The Role Of Subtle Energies – The Subtle Bodies
This shift in viewpoint also makes it ease to comprehend that we are made up of more than just a physical body. Actually we are made up of 5 separate, distinct but equal “bodies”. They include the physical body, the etheric body, the astral body, the mental and causal bodies.
Existing at different vibratory rates or frequencies, each of these subtle bodies occupies the same time-space continuum as our current 3-dimensional world, but exist on subtle levels that are unseen by the naked or untrained eye.
The casual body is the world of spirit and is associated with the world of pure energy. It is the place were our soul joins with the cosmic conscious, the universe, or feels one with God. It is from here that we, as humans, create our group conscious. The causal body is the highest subtle energy field.
The mental body is the world of thoughts. It reflects our ability to think and construct images and ideas. It is where our ideas and imagination transition from the nothingness of the casual body and enter into the constructs of the conscious mind.
The astral or emotional body expresses itself in our feelings and emotions. It reflects our ability to communicate our needs and desires. By taking the thoughts and ideas of the mental body, it is able to organize or establish patterns, with which we can later manifest. It is where our integrity and truth are derived.
The expression of the etheric body is the physical world or world of matter. It is concerned with the processes and activities of energy, in and around the physical body and the manifestation onto the physical plane.
It is responsible for the growth and repair of the physical body. It is also the subtle energy we tap into when we manifest our needs and desired onto the physical plane.
How Subtle Energies Works – The Chakras
Each of these subtle bodies interacts with us on physiological levels. Energy or information flow between the subtle bodies via the “chakras” or energy centers. Like the physical body, there are seven major chakras in each of the subtle bodies. Chakras function similar to electrical transformers, stepping down energy from one frequency to another.
Energy is exchanged via a series of tubes or vortexes from one level to another, with the chakra functioning as a sort of relay station. Incoming energy is slowed down until it reaches a vibration or frequency that our bodies can assimilate.
In essence, the chakras regulate the flow of energy into our bodies, providing it to us in a form in which we can handle.
The chakras of the mental body, for example, reduce the vibrational frequency of the energy it receives from the casual body. From here it is either disseminated into the mental body, or is passed on and slowed down even further as it travels on to layers of a slower vibratory rate.
This continues through each of our subtle bodies, until it reaches the physical body, where a physiological or hormonal response occurs.
Subtle Energies & Health
When our energy is moving and flowing, we remain in a state of health and wellbeing. When our energy slows down, becomes stagnant or blocked, we manifest dis-ease. Dis-ease is the reaction to an imbalance in the flow of our life force energy.
Imbalances in the energy of the mental body can manifest as narrow-mindedness, disrespect for life and nature, or materialism. Imbalances of the astral body manifest as anger, rage, phobias, depression, and hate. Imbalances of the etheric body manifest in the form of a cold, back pain, arthritis, or cancer.
Once an imbalance is experienced and takes hold in one of the subtle bodies it can then trickle down and manifest on a physical level. Dis-ease is typically first experienced on subtle energetic levels weeks, months or longer, before it is felt physically.
Let me give you an example of how this works. At a psychic fair, I performed a clairvoyant reading for a woman in her late sixties. Upon first looking at her energy, I noted a dark, heavy, stagnant energy sitting over the center of her chest. I shared with her that within this dense energy, I could feel that there was a deep seated, unresolved emotional issue at work.
Upon further exploration, I felt that this energy had to do with her mother. Without a breath, she responded that it couldn’t be true. She shared with me that she had been adopted as an infant and had never known her birth mother, therefore, there could not possibly be any issues surrounding her.
Energetically speaking, however, I could clearly see a large blockage in her astral body, in the area of her 4th chakra or heart center.
I felt that she either wasn’t aware of this issue on a conscious level or was in an extreme state of denial. Intellectually I could understand where her perception came from. She had been adopted as an infant. The feelings or abandonment had been a part of her since her first moments on earth.
They contributed to her identity of self. Through the years, these unresolved emotional issues filtered down through the subtle bodies and manifested in the form of heart disease (she recently had quadruple bypass surgery).
According to my client, however, her physical condition had nothing to do with her mother or her unresolved emotional issues.
With the dawn a new age in science, medicine and healing, we are now rediscovering our multidimensionality. Science is coming full circle, back to the thoughts and beliefs of our ancestors. They are discovering that we are “spirit”, living in a physical body.
With this, they are also finding out that the key to wellness lie not only with diet, pills and exercise.
It extends to our thoughts, feelings and emotions as well. They are learning that healing needs to occur on all levels, physically, mentally and emotionally. This is when true healing begins!
Much love to all... go in peace my friends

Half Magic “After what happened with season one and the ‘Euphoria’ makeup trend, it sort of was an organic kind of thing to start thinking about ‘what if I made a line. I really wanted to make sure if I was going to do it, then I was going to do it from scratch. I had this opportunity to do it and I just thought it would be so fun to do and to provide people with specific products that are made to make multidimensional, colourful colour-scapes on your eyes.” - Donni Davy, make-up artist ‘Euphoria’ and cofounder of ‘Half Magic’ cosmetics. ‘Euphoria’ makeup artist Donni Davy is leveraging her popular beauty looks for her own cosmetics line. Davy announced the brand, called ‘Half Magic’, will offer makeup products that recreate the bold, whimsical looks she’s produced for the last two seasons of the hit ‘HBO’ show. Davy started developing the brand shortly after the first season of ‘Euphoria' aired in 2019. ‘Half Magic’ will debut in May with an assortment of products that can achieve a full look.

What are the Skills Required for a Machine Learning Engineer?

What are the Skills Required for a Machine Learning Engineer?
Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, etc. Are becoming increasingly popular nowadays.
The problem with these technologies is that they are thrown around like buzz words so many people don't know exactly what they mean or what skills they require to master them.
We have listed all the different skills you will need to become a Machine Learning Engineer in this article, so read on to learn more!
The goal of machine learning is for machines to learn on their own from data without much human intervention.
An integral part of this field is Artificial Intelligence in combination with other technologies, such as Data Science.
Who are Machine Learning Engineers?
Engineers specializing in Machine Learning are in high demand.
By delivering software components that can work with minimal human supervision, they aim to gain insights from data that is provided to them.

Now let's look at the skills you'll need as a Machine Learning Engineer.
The technical skills required of ML engineers
Expertise in software engineering.
Machine learning engineers must understand the following computer science fundamentals: designing algorithms to search, sort, and optimize; understanding approximate algorithms; knowledge of data structures, such as stacks, queues, graphs, and multidimensional arrays; computability and complexity; and knowledge of computer architecture, such as memory, clusters, bandwidth, deadlocks, and cache.
Skills in data science.
Machine learning engineers rely on the following data science fundamentals: a working knowledge of programming languages such as Python, SQL, and Java, hypothesis testing, data modeling, as well as knowledge of mathematics, statistics, and probability (such as Naive Bayes classifiers, conditional probability, likelihood, Bayes rule, and Bayes nets, HMM, etc.), as well as proficiency with evaluating predictive models and algorithms.
The soft skills that ML engineers need
Effective engineers possess soft skills that set them apart from those who fail.
A machine learning engineer is, at its core, a technical professional, but soft skills such as being able to clearly communicate, solve problems, manage time, and collaborate with others are what make a project successful.
Communication skills are important. Machine learning engineers often work with data scientists, analysts, software engineers, researchers, marketing teams, etc., and product communication is key to successful project teams, so clearly conveying the project goals, timelines, and expectations to stakeholders is essential.
Management of time. Often, machine learning engineers have to meet the demands of different stakeholders while still managing to perform research, plan and organize projects, design software, and test it rigorously.
ML engineers need to master these tools/programs
Many machine learning engineers are proficient in the following programs and tools in addition to Python, SQL, Java, and C++ :
Flow processor Tensor
Hadoop and Spark
Programming in R
Apache Kafka
