Hmm..Saturnine...

And the horse you rode in on?

Suggestively sick stuff on the daily you see...I hope prevention magazine doesn't have some Tracy Morgan Miley Cyrus  problems?!  

Now a re reading of the cannibal hippies of America propaganda

Or as the a cartoon once lampooned of then sixties propaganda surrounding the neglecting cannibal mother hippy, the cannibal mother hippy was only a cannibal after her government kidnapped and slaughtered her child and then fed that same child back to her.

But if Zeus is real, one day you will see a seriously real case of a man turned permanently into a wolf, and no more allowed to be human.  :D

The messed up people that I've really seen thus far.

  Spending I don't know how many years being tortured in so many words, and I am messed up!  

Priceless!   :D

By the way, dude working at Backwoods if you get the message, I may suggest to you, your life is potentially in as much danger as mine, setting foot outside of home base on that hike of yours.  Some really wicked vibes apparently seem to be making the rounds online, and I am hearing of cherry pickings suggested going on...just letting you know.

I am getting really tired of the 'Hostel' suggestions honestly, so I put out the alert.

By the way, supposedly its all supposed to be a liability saying anything of this matter, which is probably most definitely not true if there is any truth to it, and never mind that someone else has the right to suggest it even if its supposedly fiction.  So what happens I end up canceling on some of things.  Its a rational decision and generally probably worth it.  There's a sort of bio in a backpacker magazine of dude out west that refused to travel with anything but his Colt 45 or something to this effect if that were a hint enough, and solo travel for the potential of the Texas Chainsaw massacre probably not worth it.  Honestly, though I hear of some awful crap supposedly going down, but I can't verify an ounce of it, not really in a position.  Probably not wise  to solo travel in back country these days, and if you follow something of some previous posts, there maybe some shitty nasty cells operating around bait switching from what I can tell, but that's my un informed two cents on things from a limited perspective.

Some added things:  I don't know about supposedly mainstream social organizations are worth much for anything really but potentially bad news.  Again, something I can't confirm at all, but I don't think there's a whole lot out there that's potentially that safe when it comes to socializing with people period, at least if you are potentially targeted by some these groups out there.  Honestly I don't make much of an attempt, I don't have much experience, don't really have much to go on, but I am told internally to avoid a lot, and a lot at times.  The rational likelihood to this as at best, likely these days there is supposedly a lot of spying going on, and chances maybe you are more likely surrounded by people that really aren't much of friends and/or don't have your best interests in mind especially in so far as your own personal safety.  Sadly it is a bit of an isolationists sort of existence, but then I could say maybe I live a much ultra safe existence relative to some.  :D  My risk taking days, and this were more likely the sort of solo adventure inclinations aren't the same like it used to be I'd have to admit.

Not as crazy as you think you are

     I sort of raise this question what is indigenous and not indigenous.  When tangibly there is something that makes you feel different, like a stimulant that you have taken, brings about this effect you could say that they effect ultimately came from a non indigenous source.  If the same were true with respect to a stimulating mental source (and there are known sources for these), could we say the same with regards to something  non indigenous that brought about that change.

Maybe I argue a moot point, and there really isn't so much disagreement on the notion, or exactly what is or is not true.  If we found that some minds in a later future, were more receptive on certain neural channels, might it open up the possibility with respect to the notion that, however, crazy it sounded that something phenomenally strange existed about the world that had one seeming appearance that were nothing more than a projection by which we thought we understood it.  I must admit I am not wholly professed to any furthered knowledge than you on these matters, and/or a given differentiation between indigenous nature and non indigenous nature, although I could offer that there are states of being should seem mixed in nature.   At least one could admittedly state that our level of interaction with a given environment and nature as whole is described as one of flux and change, never exactly static.  Then there are strange quantum mechanical properties of the human mind I imagine that should exist, and unfortunately, our understanding of this must seem like placing the largest wrench ever possible to change the at times smallest bolt that should exist in the mind tower.  At least I would hope to say, you aren't as crazy as you think you are, you were just traumatized by something quite different relative to a previous state of existence that you had known that were completely different relatively so (something akin to existential culture shock), and your volume control unfortunately went out of whack for some reason.

   Self reference here somewhere, its all the same by the convention I imagine that you lead, except having been told its a matter of the self, that you created something in mind, that your dreams alone were self reflection.  Herein, someone is waiting with a vision, or at least you could truly differentiate a vision from a dream.  A vision is not exactly like a dream, a vision is like seeing something more lucidly in a way, more like the rendering on a television screen, an image, and strangely enough of all things, this were a place that you never visited clearly before, or could think of, although as ordinary as the objects in the vision were, it should seem like something that weren't beyond self created mental imaging?  And you were supposedly dreaming anyways, supposedly thinking you were asleep when you weren't exactly, but did it matter that a given dream were particularly more lucid than you might have expected, that you were a thousand or more miles from home, somewhere else.  Its not all beyond the realm of one's control, or that for a given day, however, many times that you engaged in the trivialities for the sake of the saneness that the trivial supposedly brought in mind.  The trivial has this sort of effect, maybe you were in a different world on Saturday and couldn't think of anything better to do than, sit alone on the Friday that happened the next day, trying to get your head around a given book.  I find that losing myself in seemingly boring stuff seems to work in a way, it isn't boring more like puzzles, and I am thinking about this more intently, a sort of self inducement of another sort.
 
   There is a sadness about it, yes, to convince oneself as to the degree of sanity or otherwise, that any step forward should bear reason about a given decision.  Less reasonable to fear stepping outside, if formally an area is not declared at war or war torn, and you weren't clearly dodging sniper bullets, more reasonable to fear being without work, stuck in a bad situation of one sort or another, these sorts of situations weren't unlike being stuck or stranded on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, maybe not as bad, but one is thinking to be moving forward in life, and progressively in stride.  The sort of uncertainties or certainties aren't as trivial and would strike at the heart of one's reservation and caution, could it be possible to fear doing much simpler things in life?  Obviously a more momentous going forward in life.  You think of all the prior years that built into these sorts of things, and than you refer wisely back to that survival story about the tiger, and the tiger never looks back so much at a given history, not like Janus, that is written into the human psyche, the tiger is moving forward always, did the tiger stop to think about another that he knew a long time ago, I am still compelled to wonder?  Memory is still part of our existence, it couldn't be entirely ignored, when we are accepting enough to think of it, and then thinking of this broken continuity, and waking up.

Then finding a way back from elsewhere, then back to listening to a little television maybe on an average given day, more reading, likely a walk maybe not, and all the other routines in life, and when darkness nears you were looking forward to the possibility of sleep as you generally had, but sleep at times could be slower in coming, an older mind that were settled about doing things in a fairly typical habit.  One could resume the part about living 'normally' whatever this should mean, but at least living, at least living.  These things brings about a conditioning by the way.  The more that you survive by the essence of the conditions that seem sane enough to you relative to the previous condition of uncertainties that were de stabilizing your mind is a matter of self reinforcement.  We suffer at times more so, and can be conditioned to higher levels of tolerances in suffering as sad as this should sound, if all the conditioning in an environment were provided to compensate...or I am thinking sadly of the crab in the pot sort of metaphor, but in time it seems nothing is the same, and there is always hope.  It would seem despite anything else, all is better in another way at least for a given present.

  Your guide, may not have wanted to scare you when saying did you really want to submit that paper, and I am not sure that pushing the publish button on my computer is the wisest of wisest things, or that at least you might be taking on a whole new series of responsibilities in time from it to say the least?!  Of course, we are taught not to shrink from responsibility, to take a step back, but then we are within reason to try and manage things well enough for ourselves.  Had you thought it could be easier to talk to a being that sounded like a child?  But hopefully not someone horrible and awful sounding, I'd hope at least.  Its sort of like this Contact movie, you'd be more comfortable talking with someone that were like your father?!  But then they'd likely in good conscience admit they weren't your father but sounding like your father only to have you understand that it were to relax you...but it never works this perfectly I'd imagine, never this perfectly at all...and no an alien that appears dressed up as in a big fat Eagle costume only seems too over the top!  I unfortunately wasn't treated so well at times, or at least it should seem a bit haphazard, like having dealt with all manner of elements, the good, the bad, and the ugly. I'd likely admit that I wouldn't know what to do if I were taken more seriously, likened as any other author of the same merits, or at least I am to wonder whether I pepper my writings unwittingly in the same ways that consign a given work to the same the fate of the blog in general, or that I have done myself in a way something of an internal favor, by having been to a degree not taken seriously, generally ignored.    To seem insignificant but communicative to you, or that when you were frustrated when something of setback arose that you thought were not good for your life, may have been a protective blessing, or I say, I am not always sure how to judge circumstances, or as much as it sucks at times saying it, from seemingly difficult circumstances there may be a reason unknown to you for why something happened the way that it did.  Ultimately I ended up back at a given home, and it were really for the better with a given terminus heading likely in the place that I had come from, but likely if I had been told something, I'd likely not have committed myself to the idea even if I said I were committed to it...or sometimes, internal decisions work these ways.  I think its not such good times these days, it goes beyond you, and I alone...just not good times.  I say this because things like the cold war, which I imagine, see I am forty and maybe you are around my age, but we scarcely knew the cold war in a way, knew the sociological effects of this, the sort of aftermath of it, what may have come about in time, the untold histories, or more often when having thought of the culmination of these sorts of fears they were like the nuclear family and their fallout shelter, but there's another side to all this sadly enough.  Another side, which one would have thought were entirely suggestive...but then as a kid, I could only vaguely recall the notion of school prayer supposedly pushed in public education, while I attended a private religious education.  I digress.

Something in me suffered a bit anyways, for a given set of travel sadly enough awhile back, or it wasn't me exactly experiencing an internal breakdown, like the inability to cope with a new environment, especially a noisier one, but internally someone very sensitive to environmental conditions, sort of reminds of a Benny and Joon bit.
     

Organizational routines for error checking

Okay, so its probably the sort of topic that fewer encounter as the approach the subject matter of computing through formulation quantities, but this sparks a bit of interest on my part.  Only because the subject matter of error in problem solving becomes more significant on the basis of the many ways in which one could mistakenly tackle solving a problem.  The sorts of problems arising here could be potentially many, of course, it should seem when and where algebraic s are concerned any number of permutation of errors could increase in order with the inclusion of increasing terms and loss of symmetry in their inter relations (i.e., where we visually see less geometric or visual order in their relations...).  For instance, while the memory of higher order polynomials may be remembered by the increasing and orderly writing of terms by increasing  or conversely by decreasing degree.  On the other hand, including a higher degree of disorder or disarray in the inter related term process identification (e.g., where each terms identifying characteristics become increasingly large and seemingly unique) makes for greater difficulty in analysis of simplifications.  More factors/terms in a given solution will likely increase the probability of error, algebraic mishandling of one sort or another.  Thus we might inevitably find as we've gone into higher levels of education, especially in something like math, developing methods and aids as we are resolving algebraic problems.  Some of the basis of these should include something like:

1.  Simplifications to be made (e.g. cancellations of terms) asap, whenever and where ever possible.   Obviously the fewer terms required in accounting, the less likely that one should carry an added probability of mistakenly switching signs carrying over terms from one derivation to the next.

2.  Learn to work with the GCF (greatest common factor) in algebra for rational expressions.   Especially in the way of factoring these polys and than from factors finding the needed GCF across the range.  Obviously, the other point of the GCF is being able to invert the rational expression if needed when say transposing from one side to another on a given equation.   Of course, another recent old Calculus inspired technique that I had neglected to remember for some time were partial fractions whereby decomposing a rational expression into lower order rational expression terms all originating from a given higher order rational expression.  Hopefully you should know how to compose rational expressions, and decompose them.  While it seems a bit odd picking on this bit of algebra, I think its also one of the more overlooked and maybe skipped parts of algebra in terms of derivation handling.

3.  Large jumps in complexity from one derivation point to the next, could mean a potential re assessment in one's work.  This seems to be a point where you were working with something like factored expressions, and you decided to work with expansions and some other  aids only to find yourself with a much larger set of obviously non inter related terms... was an expansion at this point really necessary or needed?  If you aren't getting potentially any positive cancellation of terms feedback, maybe re grouping back to a pre expansions derivation point would be better, so as to avoid this potential step for later if something else might be done intermediately to save in the simplifying process later.

4.  While there is not always soundness in this point, if you are reaching a point such that the complexity of work load is unsoundly out of line relative to the workloads typified by solution processes often found by problems of a similar type, you at least have a tangible feeling that potentially, you might have made the problem harder than it need be.  Again, a regroup?

The list on these points, I am sure could increase, and here I've only dealt in a more general way on the matter of algebra alone.

For the matter of science and especially science and engineering,  and something at times that I've admittedly skipped through knowing well the potential consequences, is the matter of tracking units and knowing how these units are expressed and converted from one system to the next.  Often times, if I hadn't been working with pen/pencil and paper, and likely an electronic source (with copy and paste at my disposal handy for copying a selection of equation text to start the next derivation step which at least removes as in the pen and paper case the possible human facsimile transmission error point), I might have on occasion made the mistake of neglecting unit conversions, and unit conversions one should imagine outside of algebraic mistakes or likely another big source of error.  The lesser known error, could be the unit conversion method, since one should imagine that often unit conversions are one's entailing a factor re scaling (that is multiplying by one conversion that leads to another), there are some conversions, however, that are translated in nature meaning where a conversion factor is instead added or subtracted from a given unit to convert from one unit to the next...some temperature conversions, for instance,are translated , and I believe and others include combinations of translation and scale conversion factors.

In a bit of summary to the given point above, then I'd say probably the goal of organizing oneself around error checking, involves, maybe at a basis something like a routine or checklist, I could think of at this point, surrounding the nature of what should and shouldn't be checked first versus what should.  Likely it would seem if the simpler mistakes were the most likely, we'd have error checking routines structured around say checking for conversions, and then checking for algebraic mistakes, and then going up the list...you could try alternate solution strategies/methods likewise to see if you are producing the same result at least then you know potentially its not as likely that you are mistakenly doing something wrong in the method, and especially if you have verified this alongside other text book examples with shown solutions.  I then find, as an additional resort, re reading the problem making sure that I have absorbed the details given at an outset.  Here I don't know how many times, something of detail might be overlooked in the problem solving process.  At least in mathematics, I've found at times, that assumptions tend as a rule not be extraneous while this hadn't always precluded a given logic for any and every such problem.  Has an assumption been left out which leads to the construction of something in the model of the problem solving process which could aid in its given simplification?!

Then beyond the equations there is the model process.  Obviously when given quantities of things and asked to find other things, it would seem a reading in a given text leads us to what appropriate relation is bearing for the things that we have are asked to produce...here being left to scour through equation sets, especially when it seems less likely that we can derive a given equation on our own, I am left pondering over this best fit model to problem solving, its more likely the sort of model to problem solving, it should seem for a final exam, or at least when we have the volumes written down or versed in mind and we are best fitting assumptions/known s and unknowns alike to a given set of equation(s), insights come from a memory of repeated exercise maybe, or the construction of problem models visually speaking...even breaking these down into separate components, and then forming the basis of a series of equations.  Maybe we are led to something like use conservation of energy, conservation of angular momentum, use conservation of mass, use mass flow volume analysis, Newton's laws and so/forth and all of these in the derivation process which lead us on the path to a given solution.  On the other hand, embedded errors can be attributed to missing use of model which might aid simplification, and/or missing point of conservation, and you hadn't need think of conservation in terms of the traditional big ones like energy, mass, and so forth.

Anyways, its sort of a recent inspirational topic in its own right.  Where despite any given flow in solution handling, you find yourself at a given point of working absurdly once in a blue moon longer than expected, on something that catches one off guard.  In terms of the ambitious engineering that builds layers of complexity into a given systems overall design, it maybe often the simplest of little embedded errors that lead to its own set of consequences, or neglect in models that have implications down the road.  

How to turn small planets and moons into 1 g worlds.

Its sort of engineering feat one should imagine.  The idea is to take heavier matter, and then change the density ratio of a planetary and moon interior so that its gravitational field is altered.  It seems like if you could geo engineer a planet on a large scale importing mass and heavier matter to plant to bury in its mantle and core, potentially increasing its mass density ratio, you could try to create a planet with a stronger gravitational field.  Of course, it seems this could be problematic if your moon were rotating around say an earth like world, where then gravitational tides would certainly increase not to mention the problematic aspect of angular momentum in relation to nearby celestial bodies, which would have to be worked out.  Raining matter on a planet or moon, then burying it into its interior.  Anyways not sure if its possible...the other part of this problem is the amount of energy that would be required in transporting all this material.

To build the Death Star, input energy both light and matter into a black hole, until it builds up enough energy/mass into the system to provide something like 1 g then build a protective shell/ring around it that serves as the planets outer crust.  Thermal radiation released from the black hole provides internal mantel heating, and energy source for life on the planet, and could even serve as a part of a planet's propulsion system (?).  Is it possible?!  Sort of a planet/collapsed star all in one.  I imagine you might need some corrections to the overall shell/ring if its somehow displaced by an impact event which causes any sort of displacement in its position relative to its given black hole interior. :)
