UP CLOSE Festival: A Wonder of Immersive Theater
UP CLOSE Festival is a unique sensory experience that is suitable for the entire family.
UP CLOSE Festival is a unique sensory experience that is suitable for the entire family. Playing at the New Ohio Theater in Manhattan, the show invites audiences of five and older to navigate a 360° pre-show installation, then engage in a series of short pieces devised by some of NYC's most adventurous theatre artists.
The show celebrates the history of the West Village neighborhood in Manhattan. This year, the program includes a life-size game of chess inspired by the '90s-era conflict between two local chess shops; a laboratory with sound scientists from an imagined experimental wing of the famed Bell Labs; and a historical dig into the soil of the urban sanctuary that is St. Luke's in the Fields' community garden.

The show's creators dared to wonder would happen if Jane Jacobs (the famed West Village urbanist, community activist and beloved Robert Moses foe) designed a theatre festival? Whose stories would be told and how would she do it? Taking inspiration from Jacobs' rules for a healthy community–-which included the promotion of population density, mixed uses, old buildings, and short blocks—the performers reimagined real moments from West Village's past in a way that casts each audience member, aka "the community," as the lead character. The artists put the history of the New Ohio Theater—which has located in a landmark building that once housed the National Archives Record Center — to effective use and ran with the idea of staging short form, immersive works that honor the neighborhood's past. They took on the responsibility of honoring indigenous communities, a historic tree, home-grown local activists, and other voices whose histories are often excluded from collective memory into the commentary so guests leave the show feeling more of a connection to one another, and a greater appreciation of the land they call home. Through puppetry, song-making and our senses, the audience and performers will fly through 450 years of history, landing in three particular moments in the life of the garden – 1609, 1842, 1987, 1995, and some point in the near future.
Playing games was one of the fun opportunities presented to guests.
From the moment you enter the theater, you're in another world. The pre-show included a wonderfully expressive actress reading a series of children's books with themes connected to the neighborhood. From there, guests are provided with wristbands and divided into specific color-coded groups and then brought downstairs. Arriving at the theater, they are greeted by a human personification of three famed Pizza Rat (played by an excellent actress Marisol Rosa-Shapiro who even included a tail in her costume). Entering the Archive through the backstage door, you are transported into a world where you are on stage. Essentially, the entire stage and seating has been transformed into the exploratory set, divided into different "stations" that make up a representation of the neighborhood, namely: a church, a chess store, and a laboratory.
Upon entry, the guide first takes a photo of the group and tapes it to a wall next to a map of the neighborhood's streets. You are then invited to use white pencils on black paper to draw a self-portrait—among other subjects—and place it onto the wall beside the photos, creating a patchwork collage. You are also invited to play table games—uno, dominos, chess—in the bleachers or help zany scientists sort through labeled "sound jars" to find matching pairs in the ultimate hands-on seek-and-find game. This free-roam portion of the show lasts approximately half an hour.
A map of the neighborhood with photos of, and artwork by, guests was on full view.
The first segment of the show, conceived by the Spellbound Theatre Company, invites the guests to a historical dig into the soil of the urban sanctuary that is St. Luke's in the Fields' community garden. The audience nests together to follow the journey of a little sparrow who makes her home in this hidden garden on Hudson Street. They also get to crochet, handle oyster shells, count seeds/beans, and watch an actress bring the character of a historic tree to life.
At the next station, Perfect City performers (led by Marisa Blankier and Christopher-Rasheed Stevens, who also performs in the piece) transport audiences to an avant-garde city scene. Heavily inspired by the forgotten conflict that arose in 1995 when Imad Khachan opened Chess Forum directly across the street from his former employer, George Frohlinde—whose Village Chess Shop at 230 Thompson Street ruled the block for 30 years—the segment calls for audience members to traverse an epic 1990s-themed chessboard where the pieces come to life and rely on their community to sort out the rules.
Jars of "sounds" that needed sorting via labels!
The show concludes with an interactive sonic installation (conceived by Adrienne Kapstein and Bhurin Sead) that brings audience members to the fictional experimental wing of the famous Bell Laboratories – the Society of Historic Sonic Happenings, or SHSH. There, a comically zealous group of scientists reveal a secret sonic history of the city and shares their discovery that sound never dies! With the right device, at the right time, in the right place – and with some help – the scientists can tap into the eternal frequencies of the sonic past and engage with the invisible layers of history. The audience works directly with SHSH scientists to preserve these rare and forgotten sounds and preserve them in special time capsules.
UP CLOSE Festival is an excellent event for families, especially those with young kids. It is exciting to imagine what the next presentation will be like!
The presentation lasts about an hour and forty-five minutes: upon entering the stage, there is a half an hour of free-play where the audience can explore the set and interact with the actors. The mix of acting, spoken-word/poetry, puppetry and technology is impressive and the immersive nature of the program is absorbing. While the most brilliant aspect of the production is the audience-choreographed chess game (featuring fun costumes in the form of chess-shaped hats), the entire evening is unique, unusual, and unforgettable. Children, in particular, obviously greatly enjoyed the entirety of the show. It is exciting to see what the next edition will offer.

KEEP PUSHING PENSION IDEAS
July 19, 1998 Reprints
WHY SHOULDN'T EMPLOYERS be able to directly link their 401(k) and defined benefit plans?
Allowing a new type of pension plan is just one of several ideas that federal pension officials have received from benefit consultants as a way to stop further erosion of and ultimately revitalize the nation's defined benefit plan system.
Certainly, new, bold ideas are needed to shore up a system that by any measure is badly sagging. New defined benefit plan creation has just about dried up, and employers, especially smaller companies, are terminating existing defined benefit plans at a roughly 3,000 to 4,000 a year clip.
Some might say this decline doesn't much matter. After all, many defined benefit plans have been replaced by 401(k) retirement savings plans, and account balances in those plans have been soaring.
But what does the future hold? Inevitably, the stock market will take a tumble, and for workers near retirement whose entire nest eggs were in that basket, especially those who overinvested their accounts in equities, retirement savings could be inadequate.
To be sure, 401(k) plans have been and will continue to be a wonderful savings plan vehicle. But we don't think they ever were intended to be employees' primary source of retirement income.
However, they have become just that for millions of employees as employers have grown disgusted with increasingly complex and burdensome defined benefit plan regulations and have terminated their plans. Federal lawmakers and regulators in effect have smothered defined benefit plans with a mountain of red tape.
Still, it isn't too late, as PBGC Executive Director David Strauss says, to arrest the decline of defined benefit plans. And as the only savings plan that can provide a secure, guaranteed retirement benefit to employees, the effort to stop that decline is a worthwhile one.
If defined benefit plans are to regain favor, however, lawmakers and regulators have to be willing to consider dramatic reforms that would permit more fluid and flexible plan design and administration.
Obvious steps can be taken to stop the erosion of interest in defined benefit plans, including modifying or eliminating rules that needlessly add to employers' administrative burdens. Pension reforms enacted in recent years, as well as proposals that a group of senators currently is crafting (BI, July 13), are steps in this direction.
There are less obvious but perhaps even more important measures that can be taken.
The appeal to employees of 401(k) plans with their account balance features and the more rapid attainment of significant benefits is understandable.
Why, therefore, can't pension law be amended to allow a new type of flexible retirement plan that contains the best features of both types of plans? Such a plan would offer the secure, guaranteed benefit that is the hallmark of a defined benefit plan while adopting 401(k)-type features to allow younger employees to immediately accrue benefits.
No doubt there could be a myriad of ways to integrate the two types of plans that would appeal to a broad cross-section of employees, while perhaps cutting employers' costs.
To us, this is an idea well worth further consideration.

Q: How to add existing source and headers file to the CLIon project I am trying to add existing source files to my Clion project, but after adding (Copy and pasting) them to the project, these files were not added to the CMakeLists file. Also, the folder is semitransparent (gray colored).
How can I automatically add new files to the CMakeList ?

A: Lets say we have a project with only a main.cpp and we wanto to add foo.cpp:
The original CMakeList.txt is the following:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.6)
project(ClionProject)

set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 11)
set(SOURCE_FILES main.cpp)

add_executable(ClionProject ${SOURCE_FILES})

Now we have to add foo.cpp
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.6)
project(ClionProject)

set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 11)
set(SOURCE_FILES main.cpp foo.cpp)

add_executable(ClionProject ${SOURCE_FILES})

So we changesd the line set(SOURCE_FILES main.cpp foo.cpp) to add the .cpp
We can also add .h files in there.
BEWARE! ALL THE FILES SHOULD BE ON THE CMakeList.txt folder! if not, remember to add the path in there.
There is also a way to make CLion to add any cpp and h files (I don't know why don't they do it by default) and is to add this line:
file(GLOB SOURCES
    *.h
    *.cpp
)

and also
add_executable(ClionProject ${SOURCE_FILES} ${SOURCES})
In this example: ClionProject is actually the name of the project. SOURCES_FILES and SOURCES can be changed yo whatever you want.
Another good idea is to go to File -> Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> CMake and tick on "Automatic reload CMake project on editing"
Here is a good starting tutorial: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/clion/2016.3/quick-cmake-tutorial.html

The Troubling Case of Paz de la Huerta and Her (Now Deleted) Instagram Account
Paz de la Huerta went from being tagged a "major Hollywood celebrity" to a "major nutjob" in a few short years. And things got worse after she accused Harvey Weinstein of multiple crimes. However, a close look at her disturbing social media posts reveals another story: She been abused and controlled by the occult elite for decades.
Paz de la Huerta is an American actress and model who is mostly known for her role in the HBO series Broadwalk Empire and her countless magazine photoshoots. Between 2005 and 2010, at the height of her career, de la Huerta worked with A-list celebrities and partied with Hollywood's most powerful people. However, after a series of bizarre and traumatizing events, de la Huerta's career came to a screeching halt.
Nowadays, de la Huerta is mostly known for appearing in paparazzi videos of her stumbling around while looking heavily intoxicated at social events. She's also been a frequent subject of ridicule by celebrity gossip sites who have been documenting her erratic behavior for years.
While she was dismissed as "crazy" by mass media a long time ago, de la Huerta hundreds of posts on social media tell a darker story – one that sums up perfectly disgusting, hidden side of the occult elite and the entertainment industry. Before looking that that (now deleted) Instagram account, here's a quick look at her past.
Troubled Past
Paz de la Huerta's parents are Ricardo Ignacio de la Huerta y Ozores (Spanish nobleman and 17th Duke of Mandas and Villanueva) and Judith Bruce (and authority on birth control in Third World countries and United Nations Consultant).
Paz obtained her first role at age 12 in the movie 1998 The Object of My Affection which starred Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd. She then steadily climbed the stairs to stardom until things took a horrible turn.
In 2011, de la Huerta was nearly killed by a speeding ambulance truck that was driven by a stunt driver on the set of the movie Nurse 3D. This event was highly suspicious, especially when one watches the video of it.
In this disturbing video, it appears that the ambulance actually steered left at the very last second to violently hit Paz. Furthermore, the ambulance was driven by a stunt driver who is literally trained to perform dangerous car stunts. Was it actually a murder attempt? As we'll see later, the story surrounding this accident and its aftermaths is extremely bizarre.
No matter what the case may be, the accident nearly killed Paz. She filed a $55 million lawsuit against Liongate film claiming that the accident required her to undergo over 20 surgeries and left her unable to work. The case was dismissed.
In November 2018, de la Huerta filed a $60 million lawsuit against Harvey Weinstein, accusing the director of raping her on two separate occasions in 2010 and then embarking on a campaign of harassment that she contends damaged her career.

Contrarily to other Me Too figureheads such as Rose McGowan, de la Huerta's accusations generated little support and sympathy from mass media and the entertainment industry. Weinstein's defense team has called her allegations "preposterous and, unfortunately, the product of an unstable personality with a vivid imagination."
In May 2019, while de la Huerta was working on her lawsuit against Weinstein, she was hospitalized for "severe emotional distress".
Throughout these difficult times, de la Huerta remained active on Instagram … and that account was terrifying. Indeed, most of her posts were actually calls for help as she accused "evil women" of abusing and torturing her while constantly pushing her to suicide.
For reasons unknown, that IG account was completed deleted in the past weeks. Luckily, since I was actually working on an article before the deletion happened, I've saved some screenshots and copied the contents of some captions. Now, more than ever, I believe these need to be shared because they explain the "why" of de la Huerta's behavior while shedding light on the dark and disturbing side of the entertainment industry.
The Deleted Instagram Account
At first glance, Paz de la Huerta's Instagram account appeared to consist of hundreds of selfies mixed with some pics from her glory days. However, when one took the time to read the captions associated with these pics, things got very dark. Nearly every picture was accompanied by a wall of text where Paz described her constant abuse and trauma at the hands of "evil women".
A typical IG post by Paz combining a "beauty pic" with a troubling caption about evil women trying to destroy her.
Although Paz' captions often sounded like the ramblings of a crazy person, they actually told a coherent and precise story of systematic abuse at the hands of specific people – notably her own mother. In one post she writes:
I've always been incredibly generous even to my evil mother who if she wanted me to be healthy and successful she wouldn't have done the unconscionable thing she did to me in Spain that she had tried to do so many times before but my good karma always saved me if I survive this I'm writing a book about maunchhausen bi proxy.
On several occasions, Paz accuses her mother of Munchausen syndrome by proxy. Here's a definition of it:
Munchausen syndrome by proxy (MSBP) is a mental health problem in which a caregiver makes up or causes an illness or injury in a person under his or her care, such as a child, an elderly adult, or a person who has a disability. Because vulnerable people are the victims, MSBP is a form of child abuse or elder abuse.
Note: Since most cases of MSBP are between a caregiver (usually a mother) and a child, the rest of this topic will describe that relationship. But it is important to remember that MSBP can involve any vulnerable person who has a caregiver.
The caregiver with MSBP may:
Lie about the child's symptoms.
Change test results to make a child appear to be ill.
Physically harm the child to produce symptoms.
Victims are most often small children. They may get painful medical tests they don't need. They may even become seriously ill or injured or may die because of the actions of the caregiver.
Children who are victims of MSBP can have lifelong physical and emotional problems and may have Munchausen syndrome as adults. This is a disorder in which a person causes or falsely reports his or her own symptoms.
– Michigan Medicine, Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy
Although she was under the strict control of her mother since birth, Paz says that things got worse since the 2011 ambulance accident. In another post she wrote:
Since my truck accident I've been surrounded by these evil women trying to convince me I was sick so they could lock me up for the rest of my life out of envy and fear for their reputations but when I met Mika that night it was a break from the psychological torture.
In another post she wrote:
I have been crying for months … it's inhumane what these monsters have done to me. Because of them I didn't get my justice against Lionsgate. I was going to marry a man and they messed that up to. My boyfriend of 15 years won't talk to me because he says I've been so naive and he's afraid I will take my life. I had a career in Paris before they did the unconscionable. One old assistant of mine brave enough to step forward has saved all of their emails of their plans for me these last years since I had my truck accident. They've been trying to have me committed for the rest of my life only because I hold secrets of years of unconscionable abuse . I was never going to tell until what they did to me in Spain , the only country they could get away with it. All I did was cry after this one abuser said evil things to me and I was speaking to Micheal rebel the famous therapist that told me to run away from them years ago before they kill me. They are trying to drive me to suicide, they have been doing it for years. They have gas lit me. (…)
I want my famous friends to read this and help me get away from these abusers who have gas lit me held me prisoner in a city. I have few loved ones and are trying to put me in a cage for the rest of my life because I know too much. I will speak to this assistant who was brave enough to step forward.
As stated above, Paz claimed that she was abducted in Spain in 2018. She reportedly spent six months "locked in a cage" while undergoing intense trauma at the hands of "evil women".
A post about Paz being abducted.
I was making money modeling and I was about to sign with the best agency until I stupidly got on that plane to Spain where evil I didn't even know existed awaited me. What can I say? Truck accident, rape, near fatal cuncussion, and I've never been a blamer and I've never even cared to sue because by heart I'm a very positive resilient woman but this is the greatest injustice I've ever endured in my life and never have a witnessed just how cruel humanity is.
I did nothing to warrant being locked up in a cage in a foreign country for six months they are still trying to keep me from having the proper medical care my evil mother has even voiced that she doesn't want me working well than what am I supposed to be an invalid.
In another post explained that what happened to her could only happen in Spain – perhaps due to her father's connections.
The only reason they got away with what they did was because in Spain my medications which they knew I needed one was illegal and I don't know how they got away with keeping me there for so long it's illegal to do that to someone Any where else in the world and because a judge put me there they made my evil abuser my custodian which I've had legally changed since and she forbade me from speaking to the two men my lawyer and best friend who had the power to get me out of that hell in a day. I tried to commit suicide nine times when I was there.
In another post, de la Huerta compares her situation to Rosemary Kennedy who was lobotomized by her own family.
do you know the story about the Kennedy girl we'll she was very beautiful and sexy and vivacious the life of the party her mother was so deadly envious of her an ugly uptight prude like one of my main abusers and she basically did to her daughter what these to evil women tried to do to me lobotomize her the poor girl was robbed of her life and spent the rest of her life staring at a wall … extremely sad story and it almost happened to me I've never wanted to sue for any of the injustices I've endured until now and I have a killer lawyer share you're stories with me and let's support one another these evil women belong in jail
On several occasions, de la Huerta mentions an assistant who is willing to come forward and testify about the abuse she underwent in the past years. In one Instagram post, the assistant wrote a long caption summing up the situation (you can tell that the text was written by another person due to the presence of actual sentences and punctuation).
My name is Kimberly M., I am writing of behalf of Paz as I was friends with her in 2016-17, during that time witnessed some very bizarre treatment of her by her caretakers. Before Paz left Los Angeles for Paris I became her assistant for a short period of time, in order to try and help her in a situation that seemed desperate. From the outside, it seemed that she was becoming increasingly frustrated with how her caretakers were handling her and was suspicious of their care. From my point of view, she needed to be around more good role models, friends and people that cared for her in order for her to find her own stability and eventually start acting and modeling again. When I started the job I thought this would be the intention of her caretakers as well, but soon found out this was not the case. My main interactions come in dealing with who was my boss for the job, Kimberly. The first signs that Kimberly had ill intentions for Paz came from the fact that she was trying very hard to discourage me taking the job of helping Paz. Telling me I had no idea what I was getting into and repeatedly calling me to tell me negative things about Paz, often keeping me on the phone for hours at night, trying to convince me that Paz was not a good person and couldn't be helped. I could not figure out why she was trying to influence me in this way and soon began to ask questions because I was in disbelief. Some of the things I was told include that Paz was untreatable and too far gone for help. She then told me that no treatment has worked on Paz in years, and that she has become more of a burden to them (Kimberly, Judith) than was worth putting actual effort into. One day I still was not completely sold that Paz is untreatable, and confronted Kimberly who got very worked up and revealed to me that they think she is so untreatable, that they have given up and have been actively delaying or sabotaging some of the things Paz was asking for. The most disturbing thing that was revealed was that they were trying to let her fail, so that she would go mad or cause enough altercations with the police/law to be put in an institution for life.
She also told me that because Paz's godmother (her client) was the only one contributing to her financial stability, and that she had taken it upon herself to relay negative information to the godmother, sending bad reports (knowing that she had not attempted to facilitate a good report) and convincing her that Paz would be so much of a burden financially overtime, that she should accept her as a lost cause, and have her put away for life in order to save herself the money and trouble, even going as far to make her sound like a danger to others. Never in my life did I think they would actually be able to follow through on such plans as I do not think Paz is insane, but a particular artist who's been through a lot of trauma and needs adequate time to grow her own stability and find happiness in her own way. I may not know the extent of what led to what in her situation, but I know what I witnessed was wrong on a moral level and believe that it may have contributed to their attempt to put Paz being put away in Spain.
As the assistant wrote, Paz was subjected to "a lot of trauma". And under details on her social media accounts point towards trauma-based mind control.
Trauma Based Mind Control?
To those who know about the dark side of the entertainment industry, Paz de la Huerta shows signs of trauma-based mind control. Her early beginnings in the entertainment industry, her abuse at the hands of powerful people and her history of bizarre behavior (a typical result following MK breakdown) are all visible symptoms.
As explained in this article, trauma-based mind control (also known as Monarch programming) is about subjecting a slave to trauma so intense that it causes dissociation which leads to the programming of new alter personas. In several Instagram posts, Paz actually refers to an alter-ego named Malificient.
An Instagram post about her alter-ego.
Like many other victims of trauma-based mind control (such as Kim Noble), Paz also has a penchant for creating extremely symbolic paintings.
A painting by Paz de la Huerta that is replete with MK imagery. It depicts a Virgin-Mary-like figure with a blindfolded child who appears to be subjected to all kinds of foul treatments. Strange fact: In one of her posts, Paz wrote that she replaced memories of her mother by the Virgin Mary.
Although she can be easily dismissed as a crazy person who says crazy things (media has been doing it for years), Paz de la Huerta has actually been documenting her story of abuse and control in great detail. Through her numerous social media posts (the only outlet she had until very recently), de la Huerta provided a first-person account of her systematic destruction at the hands of the people closest to her.
Is she actually crazy or did the abuse make that way? In an infamous interview about Hollywood, Dave Chappelle once said:
"The worst thing to call somebody is crazy. It's dismissive. I don't understand this person so they're crazy. That's bullsh*t. These people are not crazy, they're strong people. Maybe that environment (Hollywood) is a little sick."
Hollywood is not only "a little sick". It is very sick. It completely destroys minds, bodies, and souls. It turns strong, intelligent and talented people into spaced-out zombies who appear to be completely out of it. It takes an incredible amount of strength to come back from mind control at the hands of the occult elite – and many don't come back from it.
In short, if something suspicious ever happens to Paz de la Huerta, the true cause of it is most likely contained in this article.

This one in particular breaks my heart. It doesn't seem that she "sold her soul", but rather was forced into it by her family. Those are the ones I am sad for. Those who were never given a choice right from birth. Britney Spears is a perfect example. So sad.
Lots of families do this sort of thing to their children. I'm one of them. Variables change, but the results are the same: gaslighting, abuse, trauma. Jesus Christ is the only answer, and my parents knew that and desperately tried to keep me away from God. I couldn't help but feel a certain deja vu reading this story and others like them.

May the prophet keep guard your way through live.
OK Mohamed is really God to you… You don't even wish for "Allah" to guide him and keep him safe but wishes upon the "prophet". That is very telling and revealing.
Knowing that muslims believe Jesus Christ is "the prophet", isn't it possible this person was merely being respectful of Jeffrey's Christian beliefs? That how I read it.
muslims always mean mohammed when they say "the prophet."
Where was god when all those horrible things happened to u? Keep being a slave then….

God help you, Christinne.
You're unaware of your own enslavement.
Some of us believe God does not control things. Humans have absolute free will. I believe Creator is love, and I strive to be a conduit for love. I am so sad for all these victims. Not sure why humanity is so sick. Blaming God is a copout.
Correct. God gave mankind free will, and Satan really is the god of this world, has been ever since we fell. Blaming God because this world is messed up is Satan's greatest trick, that and convincing us that he doesn't exist.
Satans Greatest trick seems to be useing a cloack.
He will come if you summon him, in flocks. Use the right prayer, or a cloacked one in this case.

Tried to check out that link, looks like you were suspended, someone didn't like what you were saying, may I ask what it was?

You are aware of that 99,9% of them are born into this through breeding programmes bc mk starts already in the womb by sticking needles into the stomach amongst other things? That and kidnapped children from the streets. Its a straight out LIE these people was ever in on it and shows you need to learn more about how this is done!
Yeah, most all of them are generational, just read Brice Taylors book, there are millions of these abuse families, all with the same artwork of the child abuse rituals.
Radiohead features all the symbolism in their lyrics and artwork. One of their most beloved songs is particularly demonic, but no one seems to pay attention to the WORDS. Thom Yorke himself has said the audience hasn't a clue; he hates performing it and alludes to channeling during it. Notice too, Thom has that wonky left eye. Big clue. Look into who his father is – that's another clue. Sad world this is!
Would this be the song "Creep" from Pablo Honey? Reading this gave me chills. Never got a good look at Thom Yorke but in general I've noticed the wonky eye countless times over the years & always wondered about it.
I notice it very blatantly in Paris Hilton, in particular.
No, the song is actually "Street Spirit (Fade Out)" from their sophomore album, The Bends. "Creep" was their big hit single in 1993, played all over the airwaves. Thom lamented that people would pay for concert tickets with the express purpose of hearing that ONE SONG, leaving the venue straight after it was played. "Creep" itself is a rip-off of the (brilliant) Hollies, whose 1972 song "The Air That I Breathe" is infinitely better, both sonically and lyrically. One of my greatest regrets is being sucked into the melodic charm of "Creep" as a bright, 'peace and love' 10 year old girl. Like many songs on the radio in the 90s, it was damaging. Still, Pablo Honey was an underrated album IMO. Tracks 1, 2, 5, 6 were personal faves and perhaps it was mediocre guitar-driven rock compared to their later stuff, but it was consistent, if nothing else. I spun that album from start to finish for YEARS, more than any of their other output – OK Computer included, which is something akin to heresy for Radiohead fans. Anyway, that was way more information than necessary….
Sorry; Nix Track 1 for a double of 5…so, Track 2, *5*, 6. Not that it matters.
I'm a little confused because you said Street Spirit (Fade Away) was "demonic," which in that context makes me think that you believe Thom & the band are pawns/controlled/ect. I'm a giant Radiohead fan, who also loves the second album The Bends!! And I see what you're saying about the lyrics being creepy, but So Many of their lyrics ARE Very creepy in their entire discography & cover other dark topics in society. (Seriously no pun intended with Creep/creepy..I suppose I could say "vaguely disturbing" instead..) It's always been kind of part of the whole image & theme of that specific band. So it truly sounds like you're a big fan here, but you're at the same time saying they have songs that are so-called demonic? (Meaning their music is somehow "evil" or negative?..like I said a bit confused..) And the band does truly hate their breakthrough single Creep, because it was intended as almost like a joke song, because it sounded like so much of the other music coming out at that time. At least that's what Thom said. Also the literal lyrics in Creep say "buzzing like a fridge," meaning all this music sounds the same & dull… Read more »
Here, Thom discusses "Street Spirit (Fade Out)" in his own words: "'Street Spirit' is our purest song, but I didn't write it. It wrote itself. We were just its messengers. It's biological catalysts. "It's core is a complete mystery to me. I wouldn't ever try to write something that hopeless. All of our saddest songs have somewhere in them at least a glimmer of resolve – 'Street Spirit' has no resolve. It is the dark tunnel without the light at the end. "I detach my emotional radar from that song, or I couldn't play it. I'd crack. I'd break down on stage. That's why its lyrics are just a bunch of mini-stories or visual images as opposed to a cohesive explanation of its meaning. I used images set to the music that I thought would convey the emotional entirety of the lyric and music working together. That's what's meant by 'all these things are one to swallow whole'. I meant the emotional entirety, because I didn't have it in me to articulate the emotion. I'd crack. "Our fans are braver than I to let that song penetrate them, or maybe they don't realize what they're listening to. They don't realize… Read more »
Thank you, deadpopstar! You're right to call me out on the inconsistency of sounding like a big Radiohead fan while denouncing their music as being demonic, evil, and full of negative energy. I would never have even classified myself as a fan, believe it or not. But something about their music had a pull on me, for sure. Take, for example, "No Surprises" – quite possibly the most beautiful song about **suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning**, ever written. I have to admit, even now, I still get excited at the mention of it and the intro immediately begins playing in my head, from memory. You are spot on about the video, iconic and memorable. Someone sent me an advance copy of Meeting People Is Easy (VHS, whoa!) and I can still remember the making-of footage, clear as day. Knowing what was going on outside the frame and behind the scenes kind of changed the music video for me thereafter. It was neat and all, but ruined the art. I miss being interested in art – itself is short for artifice. That's all it amounted to: deceit. The depth I thought was there was an illusion, all along. The truth tends… Read more »
One song that really creeps me out by Radiohead is Paranoid Android. There's a darkness to that song that says a lot about this stuff IMO….in CODE
agree. Her family sounds like they are occult Satan worshipers that let their child go through MK ultra and handed them over to Hollywood. Like so many others other. So sad….
I agree Paz has a male body.
But, how can you say her situation is fake??
Welcome to reality, many women have Adams apple. And even if she was male, her trauma is no lie. Go check ur eyes and ur heads!
Excellent point: It's about the TRAUMA!
Both males and females have been TRAUMATIZED and VICTIMIZED!
It's not exclusive to Hellyweird; it's more COMMON than realized!
I certainly don't and I have seen a few but not that many! The ones I have seen are white, European with long term unhealthy sedentary lifestyles. They seem to always be overweight or have the same large weight fluctuations as poor Paz. Recent immigrants are often more feminine looking because they come from countries where their food hasn't been interfered with and they have had limited exposure to gender bending chemicals in cosmetics and other similar products. They are also less likely to ever use chemical contraception which I understand can interfere with hormone profiles in a huge way. This edgy, aggressive, androgynous look on women which was initially promoted by the fashion world and now raises no eyebrows in mainstream society, masks the fact that they aren't confirming to a trend but they have hormonally altered over a relatively short period of time in history of around three generations. The values which held marriages together and on a larger scale, society, have been mocked by the cultural engineers to the extent that they are considered absurd nowadays. Women should dress beautifully and be demure and clean. They should put family over the work environment and nurture their children… Read more »
The "adam's apple" you describe, Noa, sounds more like an enlarged thyroid. Unhealthy, sedentary lifestyles can contribute to that, though medications are also a major culprit. Radiation affects the thyroid and that has been an ongoing, accumulating problem since 1945, with an exponential increase since 2011.
Thank you for your clear, accurate observations.
The third paragraph is especially sad and true. For years, finding appropriate modest, feminine attire has been a challenge because the alterations have been so minute. Notice how shapeless every garment has become. Dresses are now shaped only to create the illusion of curves on men, and are unflattering on real, biological women. Years ago, I thought it weird that I had curves and a body so that no clothing would look correct or fit correctly. Now, I understand. I don't have the time to go into here, but it is increasingly difficult to find modest skirts and dresses. Some of the latest trends and "fashions" are scandalous and downright perverse. Footwear, too, is succumbing to the genderless campaign. These dolls are the future, and the future is already here.
Thanks Caroline. You are very right. Even while I was growing up, girls seemed to wear trousers all the time. My mom used to sew beautiful dresses for myself and my sisters. We loved them but if we had been image conscious, we would never have worn them because they never helped us blend into the crowd!
Even more so today, the shops either have clubby, slutty dresses or sporty stretchy ones. Even their maxi dresses are really odd because they are too low cut and the top and you could easily spill out.. well I could for sure! They are just not celebratory of the sensuality of the female body in a gentle, attractive way.
The other thing I have noticed is the growth in the number of high school girls desperately trying to work impossibly short school skirts when it mostly doesn't look flattering at all ( to put it politely).
Curves have been crudely sexualised to exclusively mean plastic Kardashian types with Brazilian butt lifts on the beach with their bottoms wedges into their butt and fake breasts and pouts. This isn't attractive or feminine and I bet it is really uncomfortable.
Uncomfortable, indeed!
I agree with all you said, and must confess to envy: You and your sisters were so blessed to grow up with handmade dresses! How lovely!
Re: midi dresses, I have the same (ahem) problem as you, and learned that, so long as the back is high enough, it helps to wear the dress backwards 😉
Great tip, thanks!
What a joy to have come across your comment. This is one of the most relevant and truthful splash of words I've come across in quite some time. I take comfort in knowing there are people out there among us who truly get it, as ugly as It is, unfortunately for us all.
then there is THAT whole aspect of it, too. I am glad I stopped watching anything Hollywood over 20 years ago. I never really gravitated towards it in the first place because they never seemed like real people to me.
Everyone has a choice.
^ This is a point that has been stressed, lately.
In this context, I'm not so sure we do, anymore.
Imo most celebrities – if not all – are born into their bloodlines by the same satanic breeders. Just when you look which celebrities are related to the British royals, French royals etc. around 10-20 degrees … Bush and Obama are 11 degrees cousins and so on. Meanwhile I think they're all related in a way over xx degrees. Most of them – especially "women" are transgendered too – starting in the mother's womb. I think there are some real men left tho, but I could be wrong.
Agreed. RIP, men :'(
Deep, masculine singing is a thing of the past, too.
Still grieving the loss….
Sadly this is so. Noticed an adam's apple on this poor soul. Very sad to have no choice but other make it for you.
One thing about the "distant cousins" thing is that once you get back far enough, you can prove familial relationships between any two people. The msm uses that as an attention-grabber sometimes, but it's meaningless.

*****Paz's instagram account *****@iampazdelahuerta was back up when i just checked
"Hollywood is not only 'a little sick'. It is very sick."
And ALL of us participate and fund this sickness when we subscribe to cable TV, use streaming services like Hulu, Netflix, etc., buy their foul music, buy the products that they sell or endorse, attend their concerts, buy books about them or purchase fashion/gossip magazines.
It's time for thinking, decent human beings to DETACH as much as is humanly possible from the system, whether that system be public education, feel good churches/synagogues, the entertainment industrial complex, and surveillance technology.

Yessss! It is all NOISE to keep us enslaved. Break away, it's hard but its vital for our souls and happiness
And yet, people still admire and envy celebrities.
They envy her in these very comments.
This rings of truth, yet I don't understand why?
Shallow superficial ppl do. They present them as glitz and glamor hiding the vileness behind the scenes. Her mother is repulsive
Her mother is the one who should be locked up! Evil B---h- she'll get her comeuppance.
The celebrities are an example.
Look around you.
Cryptic warnings.

I still don't know why. These celebrities are misguided. I do not trust them in the mainstream media telling us who to vote for and how we should think. I get angry when they do that. Hollywood is the biggest bully; yet, use the bully victim strategy when people do not go along with their disturbing agendas.
Unfortunately, she tried on several occasions to warn people. I guarantee that those who followed her on instagram wants her life. Some people just seek destruction with no help from these evil people.
EyesWideOpen18
I read this article last night and then I went to Instagram, it looks like she has a new account and the oldest post is 5 days old, newest post is 4 hours ago. The new account name is save_paz_de_la_huerta. This is so sad, she is talking about piece of mind when she dies as if it will be happening soon. I think she's had multiple pregnancies and lost them all too, she mentions in the video about when she dies being surrounded by her children. I saw some "fashion photos" of her and a few she looked like she was in the early stages of pregnancy. How can something like this happen? How can no one reach out and help her when other famous celebrities have been "helped" out of a "breakdown? Where are the Rose McGowan's and Alyssa Milano's with their #metoo movement to protect her. She seems to tag a lot of celebrities as if reaching out to them for help but she is reaching out to the very people that are mixed up in this disgusting behavior. She also lists a phone number on multiple posts, I almost wanted to reach out but this might be… Read more »
I tried finding her Instagram. Said it's not found. Poor girl.
I just tried looking today and it seems to be gone. I wonder if she has a new account.
Does anyone think this may be PR? With the Independent Spirit story o here (and others), it sppears that H-wood does a lot of "ritualistic play-acting" for the public.
MicMyl
PR that destroys this woman's spirit, soul and body? Someone mentioned above how Paz seems to get swept under the rug more so than Rose McGowan or Alyssa Milano's #metoo publicity. So I don't necessarily see how this publicity has gotten Paz better acting gigs…or even proper attention.
'Ritualistic play-acting'…well, they do that too. Good way to numb the public to what's really happening. (Reminds me of the misguided disbelief: 'Lucifer doesn't exists, that's just in movies and man-made'….NOPE).
MicM

Its @save_paz_de_la_huerta_
I always thought her acting in Boardwalk Empire was too real to be "acting." Poor soul. So many celebrities are coming forward. May they be brave enough to keep doing it. Aaron Carter comes to mind.
Isn't it odd which celebrities are covered when the come forward? No one gave Paz a chance.
We hear so many stories now and I feel like the true stories such as Paz are pushed out of sight out of mind because they are real and would show Hollywood's true self but the news networks are part of the Hollywood system so they are told who and what to focus on.
Hunoze
She seemed sexually exploited/objectified…and perhaps that's all she was trained to be[?].
On her newest account she talks about her mother and Weinstein having some sort of arrangement and how the apartments were set up next to each other. There were see thru mirrors so he could watch. I'd like to know a little bit more about her parents. Something seems fishy and this poor woman needs to be free of this trauma and violence.
Update, she says she is safe from black magic at the moment and living on an Indian reservation in Peru. I hope she is safe. For some reason her story is bothering me on a personal level. I always felt bad when I saw the negative publicity but that is nothing in comparison to what she goes through daily.
So many people are living through a similar hell and the world is just blind,
They are so wrapped up and distracted, but that is what the uppers want. When I google Paz and see pictures it makes me feel so much worse for her.
Some she looked pregnant but we obviously never heard of her actually bearing a child, tasteless photos of her being called art, but it isn't art she was/is a pawn for these sick people.
Interesting tattoo of a cobra ready to strike.
The tip of its tail starts between her toes and goes up to her shin.
D. Freeman
Lesson ?
Don't Sell Your Soul…
You are worth more than that.
I don't think this is a "sold her soul" case. She was born in hell, and was probably pushed to acting/modeling, since her mother is such an evil woman. It makes sense she would want to make money of her child.
D. Freeman obviously likes to think that he hasnt sold his soul in beliving the ignorance of kidnap rape and tourture being a choice. Does the D stand for DR?
Even worse when you're forced into it by older family members who want to exploit you for their own selfish gains.
. ^ Heartbreaking that this happens!
You mean like a parent?
Yours feels like a voice crying out in the wilderness, DDd. I don't think this question can or will generate any votes or responses. Of course it could be a parent…But who would want to acknowledge that? That's too disturbing a thought. For anyone. Sending you good thoughts ❤
Your are so right, sometimes reading the truth is mind blowing. Especially for those who lie.
Another keyboard warrior. She didnt sell any soul, she didnt choose her doomed family. Do u remember being asked to be born on this prison planet?
He was warning VC readers not to sell THEIR souls.
Because even though her family offered her up,
OTHERS can still SELL THEIR SOULS, and for what?
It is not worth it and her family is evil.
Souls can only be saved by Jesus Christ.
"Prison planet" sounds like Alex Jones….
That feels like a subliminal, anonymous 😉
wow. I feel so bad for her. Where is she now? This is terrible…Such sick and evil people in hollywood. It really is the devil's playground. I will pray for her. My whole life i did theater, sang, danced growing up. Went to college for acting and moved to Hollywood to become an actress. I got to Hollywood and something deep in me said no, this is not your path, it's evil. My mother used to tell me Hollywood was evil, she never elaborated she just said it's an evil place. I get asked all the time hwy i never perused my acting, i tell them Hollywood is a sick evil place that i didn't want to be apart of and i'm so glad i'm not.
I always wanted to be a model and actress. Since I was 12 everyone would tell my mom to get me into modeling. I'd ask her to take me to acting classes and she never did. Now that I'm older I'm grateful that she didn't. I would have gone through the same sick stuff these people in Hollywood go through.
Of course the mainstream media will dismiss this and call her "crazy" for trying to break out of their control. Dave Chappelle was so damn true to his word on what the Illuminati has been up to in "hellywood" and "musick."
Paz clearly was forced into the industry and not out of her own free will by a family of "handlers" who intend to exploit her for their own sinister gains. I won't be surprised if she gets "disposed of" later on since its nothing new for older family members to exploit their younger ones.
I'm guessing that alleged ambulance "accident" was meant to not only kill her but also put Paz in the same scenario as Aaliyah in terms of a "ritual offering" by the looks of things. At the moment, Paz is enduring the same misery as Britney and Lindsay in terms of mental breakdowns and sabotage a la monarch programming.
God be with you Paz.
Aquabubbles
I feel sorry for this lady as I judged her as well. She always looked a bit "out there" on TV. But now I know why and this is heartbreaking. With a childhood straight from hell and a daily dose of phycological torture from demons around her how is she supposed to survive that? The devil is doing a grand job of normalizing everything that the Lord despises. May Paz the la Huerta be surrounded with the love and power of the Holy Spirit and may she reach out to Jesus Christ who can truly be the only one who can save her.
Look at her role in Enter the Void.. she has a sickly sexual relationship to her brother, dissociates during sex w her johns, she depicts true misery in her acting's to the point it makes you shudder.
frenchtoast
This movie (enter the void) was directed by Gaspar Noé. He's a french director who's very succesful. I've never watched enter the void but "Irreversible" was sick. His movies always deal with themes such as incest or rape.
Reminds me of Mischa Barton who was drugged and said her mother was a witch.
"I'll be your conduit. F— yeah!" Spooky.
There's a 1995 video of her at just 9 years old with her sister, and her mother is briefly shown. It's a morning show and there is a creepy pedo vibe.
Didn't Mischa play a MSBP victim in the Sixth Sense?
She did. Mom was poisoning her so she would always be sick. There was a video tape of it that she showed the little boy.
Paz's mom was a "consultant" for the evil United Nations; she never stood a chance. Poor Paz. I never knew much about her, but she pinged my radar when she was hanging out with Scott Weiland. That was a weird pairing and now he's dead. I'm not saying she's connected, it's just strange. He had her in one of his music videos too when he went solo.
There are many strange connections in the music—and movie—biz.
Just as with bloodlines, all very surprising. Military involvement, too.
Also, in her last posts she also claimed that her own father was an abuser of ver since childhood. She said that he was in love with her and usually would give her drinks and sleep with her. It got worse when she said that she was also in love with him. Since she said posted about it, for some reason, they started to hack her posts about it and soon they deleted her acc. Last week she posted a video on Twitter in a hidden acc that she's being hunted down and she's hidding or other way they're gonna kill her. It's all so disgusting about her case.
Wakeupproject
What's the Twitter handle?
This is very sad to read. People should never rely on anybody else to save them or use alcohol and drugs which open up direct portals to demons. They need to educate their children to reject addictive substances.
I would go so far as to include medications.
Yes. Me too. I have completely given up on all pharmacy products. Everything I use is based on ancient wisdom and I have not fallen ill in literally years. If I feel a cold is coming on, I megadose on vitamin c and use my infrared sauna. I also make my own fresh turmeric and ginger drinks with local honey ( the local is very important). My kids love those too. You can buy these shots but they are so expensive it is not ethical to participate in creating a parallel market for people with higher disposable incomes. Essential oils like eucalyptus are also great for bunged up little noses. My baby daughter loves a few drops of lavender oil on her pillow at night.
By your own standard you are blasheming the fact Jesus went around saving people. Seems you have a portal you need to shut down yourself. Just goes to show that substances arent the only way in which such demons can acess a mind and allow an individual to bathe in such ignorance as to think your kind of attitude serves anyone but your self.

These fragmented cries for help appear here, sometimes. I have seen them on other threads and on other articles. I imagine they come from the same person, someone who is themselves fragmented. I have tried to assemble the pieces from my vantage point…the terrible difficulty that entails makes me further empathize with those whose entire existence is dedicated to picking up the pieces of not just their lives, but themselves. I hope they know they are loved ❤ I hope they are aware that people on the outside care deeply for each, precious part of them. Right to their very core. They are loved ❤
I understand why you use the third person. More people assemble information. That is good.
I myself have nothing to hide. Reading back what I wrote earlier – I support that.
Thank you, for caring anyway.
Paz met Scott Weiland in a rehab center and was crazy in love with him. They dated around 2008/2009, they broke up but she always said he was the love of her life. I believe his death was quite suspicious. Any idea of what really happened?
Max Spiers, also now dead, was friends with Scott. I think all three of them may have met at the same place which ties in with Kelly's comment actually. Max was originally addicted to painkillers but then it progressed on to heroin. You never would have known with Max though. He was a lovely gentleman.
Scot was friends with Max Spiers also dead and that guy from Pantera. The latter knows stuff.
Scott was very literal on his lyrics about what was really going on behind the scenes. People just didn't listen to him.
They never listen until it is too late.
They dont listen even when its too late
Exactly, Jess.
when theyve had mpd mind control programming they can be detected by the rapid blinks they do when they need to flit through their personalities to find the right one to bring to the front in response to a situation.,You will see them blink rapidly in rapid succession.
And: Think about the answer when you asked someone a question.
Are you satisfied with it? Or did they give you a cloud of words.
Do mental blocks and aversion indicate mind control? Perhaps misperceived as writer's blocks and "airhead"ed-ness? What about unintentionally and secretly signaling distress—frequently—without possessing any knowledge of its meaning? (Yet a complete stranger takes notice and the time to remind you, "You're ok." This is the first time you draw a connection, though you don't learn of the signal until accidentally, much, much later. But, you still unconsciously signal distress, all. the. time!)
^ That was an actual question and not a hypothetical.
Those could be signs of mind control. Even if it's not, the following suggestions might help.
It's a good idea to try to stay calm and grounded in the present moment. It is important to have compassion for others and for yourself. Self-compassion is especially important if you find out you are sabatoging yourself; try to appreciate and love the parts of you that are undermining you instead of getting angry at yourself. People suffering from mind control often unconsciously sabatoge themselves in a misguided and unconscious attempt to protect themselves.
Take plenty of time for self care such as exercise, meditation, eating healthy, art work, regular sleep schedule, etc. Notice things that are good. Praise God if you believe in God. I think all those things can help. Even if it is mind-control you still have power so don't despair. You're making progress just being self-aware enough to notice and ask this. Best wishes.
Thank you. That advice means a lot.
The following was especially helpful:
"People suffering from mind control often unconsciously sabatoge themselves in a misguided and unconscious attempt to protect themselves."
Had a pastor who did this.
Prior, I thought it was a trait exclusive to politicians.
After, I extended it to include narcissists.
Now it all makes perfect sense. Thanks!
You meaned the cloud of words, Claudia, ofcourse.
I did meaned the cloud of words, Anonymous, ofcourse.
Sorry, that sounded offensive – not my intention!
I did mean the cloud of words.
Politicians and lawyers are known for this empty rhetoric of convincing slogans and subliminal gesticulations. Mega pastors, too, are full of this slick talk and able to speak out both sides of their mouth, serpent like. It's a defining characteristic of narcissists and psychopaths. Clouds of Words and Mirrors.
But the level of nothingness experienced with the aforementioned pastor was…shocking. I'm convinced the entire church was under heavy, generational mind control. He was so erratic and non linear, yet pompous and puffed up, giving the appearance of fully functioning! Even now, my mind struggles to make sense of it.
People need to pay better attention.
Listen to the words and the Message.

Where could i find a good introductionto renormalization theory ? ( i have a degree in physics but i do not know about renormalization).
If all the an where infinite ..how could you remove them?..
Many QFT books have good accounts of renormalization. I like Peskin and Schroeder. M. Kaku's is good also.
If you don't have access to them, you can also take alook at the online book used for the thread on QFT here in the forums.
Note that many texts, like P&S, use the word renormalization in a different sense than it used to be. What used to be called renormalization is now called regularization (as in "Pauli-Villars regularization" and "Dimensional regularization"). The result of regularization is to leave an undetermined quantity in the integrals as the price for eliminationg the ultraviolet divergences. After the integrals are formed the process now called renormalization happens, to remove the undetermined quantity by folding it into an overall constant.
They're each worth every penny (if you want to buy).
Before I answer your question, it would help me if you could tell me whether you have any familiarity with the basics of feynman diagrams and perturbation theory in QFT (not including renormalization).
the problem is...why if a theory is ot renormalizable can not we derivate to get the integrals to be convergent supposing they diverge as (1), could we point an introductory remark on renormalization (a paper to introduce the math and physics of it without include the renormalization group..
BTW, if you're interested in studying Peskin and Schroeder, I think that Patrick Labelle will start his course on QFT again (on the same site where I start my non-relativistic quantum mechanics course, www.superstringtheory.com). If people are interested, send me an e-mail (I'll transmit it to Patrick Labelle, but I don't want to put his e-mail directly on this forum without his permission).

HWg-PDMS is free of charge for 3 sensors (registration is recommended).
IT department: HWg-PDMS software monitors energy consumption, temperature, supply of power, and access to cabinets with IT infrastructure.
Overview of services for outsourcing: Keeping records of quality of the provided services. The generated MS Excel summaries can be attached to invoices for quality assurance purposes. Useful when a company delivers uncomfortable cold instead of air conditioning + maintenance.
Audit: End user that needs data logging (operations / storage audit). For instance, storages of pharmaceuticals or food.
HWg-PDMS (Poseidon & Damocles Monitoring System) captures values of inputs and probes from devices connected over GSM or LAN. Data in the internal database can be periodically exported to MS Excel reports (protocols).
If you need to be alerted to sensor failures or readings out of range by email or text message, use the HWg-PD Trigger software.
Data are exported to MS Excel via a .xml file. This xml file can be generated in the background and used outside of MS Excel.
Data transfer by email works even for customers that use a NAT and cannot use a VPN. It is ideal for GSM sensors.
One-time data export – Generated manually for the specified time period. Does not run in the background.
Periodic data export – Generated automatically in the background after each period ends. For example, every Monday at 0:05 o'clock for the previous week.
MS Excel loads the data into the first sheet, named "Report".
Other sheets can be used for storing custom visualizations for the data in the "Report" sheet.
If there are no data in the database for the given sensor at the given time, an empty cell is inserted.
If the sensor is disconnected, "-999" is inserted.
If the device was inaccessible, "-998" is inserted.
Use other sheets for your analysis of the data (ideally, ready for printing on a single page).
When the template is next loaded, current data are inserted into the first sheet and MS Excel updates the charts and tables in other sheets.
Even with lots of data, the report can be prepared and printed within 90 seconds.
The number of lines in the "Report" sheet can vary according to the month (28 / 30 / 31 days), or if the PDMS application does not run. Take it into account in your formulas.
Disable inserting -998 and -999 values, otherwise you need to take them into account in your formulas.
HWg-PDMS inserts the selected data into the first sheet, "Report", in the Excel file.
In order to read the data when the MS Excel file is opened, you need to enable MS Excel macros.
When unchecked (default), values are ignored when the device was unreachable.
Check to indicate unreachable devices ("-998" is inserted as the value).
When unchecked (default), values are ignored when the sensor was unavailable.
Check to indicate unavailable sensors ("-999" is inserted as the value).
Creates a counter value for each Damocles DI input and inserts it to the Excel file.
Computes average values for the given time period and inserts them into the Excel file as a single value.
For example, use this to display an average over 15 minutes, even though the internal PDMS database includes a reading for every minute.
Enable the option, select 15 minutes, and the Excel report will only include 4 values per hour.

Nunavik youth hunt butterflies on the tundra
Survey finds butterfly species never before seen in Quebec

Suzanna Aragutak has the careful task of pinning dozens of small and colourful winged creatures into a wooden framed specimen box.
This is the fruit of her labour: the Umiujaq teen spent a week out on the land earlier this month with a net and a basket, collecting one of Nunavik's most delicate wildlife species — the butterfly.
Aragutak and nine other high school students from across the region worked as collectors and researchers for Nunavik Parks' third butterfly survey, the second conducted in Pingualuit, Nunavik's northernmost park near the Hudson Strait.
For a species so sensitive to the climate, a group of youth researchers found dozens of butterflies, and their night-time equivalent, the moth.
The 2016 inventory is still being processed and identified, but Nunavik Parks is sure of one thing: there are more and new species of butterfly fluttering around Nunavik these days, as the climate warms.
Elise Rioux-Paquette, a conservation and education specialist with Nunavik Parks, first teamed up with the Montreal Insectarium in 2014 to determine which butterfly species make their home in Pingualuit.
"I wasn't sure if there we'd find any butterflies in that region," Rioux-Paquette said.
"But we explored the area along the Puvirnituq river and found a number, sent them south to Montreal insectarium. We realized there were some very cool findings."
That 2014 survey found seven species from two different families of butterflies, including the moth.
In 2015, the insectarium sent an entomologist (someone who studies insects) to work with Rioux-Paquette in Kuururjuaq park, but the weather was cool and windy, which kept the butterflies away.
This year, however, Parks Nunavik is reporting its best efforts to date.
That because this summer's survey crew collected dozens of specimens, including the xestia inuitica, a North American species of moth never been before seen in Quebec.
The group also collected another species of butterfly that's never been recorded north of Quebec's Abitibi region, known as the Papaipema inquaesita.
Species vary quite a bit between Pingualuit and Kuururjuaq, which mark the northernmost and southernmost areas of Nunavik. In Kuururjuaq, for example, the more diverse plant life would draw more species of butterflies, Rioux-Paquette said.
In that sense, there's plenty more surveying to do to get a clear picture of all the butterfly species in the region.
"As pollinators, they're really important to the ecosystem and flower reproduction," Rioux-Paquette said. "They're also the base of the food chain for many animals.
"But what we're mostly interested in looking at is how sensitive they are to climate change. Where they live can shift very quickly, so it's important to know what's there now, because it will probably change."
All the same, butterflies have inhabited the northern region of Nunavik for as long as living elders can recall. Two elders that Rioux-Paquette spoke to recalled earlier generations capturing butterflies and using the insects' wings to plug holes in their shoes.
Butterflies live even further north in the Arctic; a Nunavut-focused insect guide published in 2012 counted 32 species of butterflies found around the territory, seven of which survive on the High Arctic Islands.
Most Nunavik-based butterflies are not migratory — they begin their lives as larvae in the later spring, become butterflies and lay eggs over winter until the process starts again.
A much smaller group is able to overwinter in the region by finding shelter between rocks.
Rioux-Paquette said the Montreal Insectarium has plans to eventually host a display of northern butterflies from its Montreal facility, while Pingualuit park's Kangiqsujuaq-based interpretation centre may also host its own butterfly display.

New Jersey couple on way to wedding killed in chain reaction crash
FOX 29 Philadelphia
BERKS COUNTY, Pa. (WTXF) - A couple on their way to their own wedding were killed following a chain reaction crash along I-78 in Berks County last week.
The Fanwood Borough, New Jersey Facebook page identified one of the victims at Kathryn Schurtz.
Schurtz's obituary says she was on her way to her wedding in Pittsburgh with her fiance, Joseph Kearny, who also died in the crash. Police say a tractor-trailer slammed into the back of the car which sent it into the back of another semi-truck.
In all, five trucks were involved in the November 14 crash.
Schurtz, according to a Facebook page for the town of Fanwood, was the daughter of a former city councilwoman. The 35-year-old lived in Jersey City and worked for Oracle in New York City.
"She will be remembered for her voracious appetite for reading, love of cooking, and trailblazing new adventures with Joseph," her obituary read. A funeral mass for Schurtz will be held Tuesday in Scotch Plains, N.J.
Further information on Kearney wasn't immediately available.

The holidays season is always busy for everyone so trust my experience and never try to move on Christmas Eve. I was actually able to close escrow on the 22nd, movers came the 23rd with everything that spent the last 8 months in storage, appliances came Christmas Eve, I was fortunate to spend Christmas day with family and friends and been unpacking, configuring, and trying to get back to work ever since. A huge factor in this move has been getting proper full time studio space my clients can come to (if desired) and a very successful trial run today has proven it all worth while. Here's a sneak peak of just one corner and the entrance to my new office.

Q: Need clarification on what makes an argument invalid or valid In the argument below the hypotheses and conclusion are all true:
$5$ is not an even number.
If $5$ is an even number, then $7$ is an even number.
$\therefore 7$ is not an even number.
The argument is invalid. But I was told that to show an argument is invalid the hypotheses must be true while the conclusion is false. And in this case hypotheses and the conclusion are true which is what makes an argument valid. I don't understand why its invalid if:
True.
False $\rightarrow$ False.
$\therefore $True

A: Generally speaking for statements $A,B$ from $A\Rightarrow B$ you may not conclude, that $\neg A \Rightarrow \neg B$, which is what is being done in the argument.

A: If $A$ means "5 is an even number" and $B$ means "7 is an even number", then formally the argument is:

$1.\; \lnot A$
$2.\; A \implies B$
$C.\; \lnot B$

However, notice that (2) is equivalent to:

$2a. \lnot B \implies \lnot A$

This is called the contrapositive of (2). Assuming that $\lnot A$ is true, means that $\lnot B$ could be either true or false, because $\lnot A$ being true means it doesn't matter what truth value $\lnot B$ takes, (2a) will be true regardless (the only way for it to be false would be if $\lnot B$ was true AND $\lnot A$ was false). Therefore it doesn't follow that $\lnot B$ is necessarily true.

A:
... i was told that to show an argument is invalid the hypotheses must be true while the conclusion is false.

Please know that an argument is invalid if and only if it is possible for the premises to be true and the conclusion to be false.  Whether it is actually the case that the premises are true and conclusion is false is not relevant when it comes to validity.
Of course, one way to demonstrate that an argument is invalid, i.e. to demonstrate that it is possible for the premises to be true and the conclusion to be false, is to create a possible world or scenario in which the premises are true and the conclusion is false.
So, while in the 'normal' world of arithmetic 5 and 7 are both not even, try to imagine a world where 5 is not even, but 7 is.  Now, I understand that may be difficult to do, but one way to think about this is that ultimately logic is only about symbol structures ... logic has no 'understanding' of what '5', '7', or 'even' mean ... as far as logic is concerned, to say that '7 is even' is not any different from a claim like 'snow is white': it just says that there is some object that happens to be labeled '7', has some property that happens to be labeled 'even'. And if we have some further object labeled '5', and if we assume that that object does not have the property of 'even', then in that imagined scenario or world, both premises are true, but the conclusion is false, meaning that the argument is invalid.
So again, the premises don't have to be true and the conclusion false in our world for an argument to be invalid. You just need to have a logically possible world (which for classical logic means: claims cannot both be true and false at the same time) in which that is so ... so that need not be our world (or, in this case, the classical world of arithmetic).

A: As others have mentioned, the general form of the argument is invalid, except on a technicality. That technicality is that most proof systems allow you to conclude anything that's already been proven, so assuming "7 is not even" has already been proven, then you can use any assumption to re-prove it. This is the gist behind the common axiom schema $P \to (Q \to P)$. This same general idea can be used as an inference rule which allows you to introduce anything that already has a proof into another proof or derivation.

COVID-19 takes life of prominent OKC preservation leader
by Steve Lackmeyer
Published: Wed, December 2, 2020 1:05 AM Updated: Wed, December 2, 2020 1:30 AM
Bill Gumerson explains exterior repairs he oversaw at the Overholder Mansion in this 2014 photo. He is credited with saving the city's oldest mansion as a historic landmark for future generations to learn about the city's past. [OKLAHOMAN ARCHIVES]
Oklahoma City's preservation community lost one of its leading voices on Thanksgiving when COVID-19 took the life of Bill Gumerson.
Gumerson, 76, co-founded Friends of the Mansion, a group that has helped support upkeep of the Governor's Mansion. As president of Preservation Oklahoma he led a successful capital campaign to renovate the Overholser Mansion.
Marva Ellard, another prominent city preservationist, credited Gumerson with keeping Preservation Oklahoma alive for several years.
"He pledged his time and involvement and was able to ask for ongoing donations from several of his long-time friends," Ellard said. "He spent much of his personal time and his professional time working to preserve our historic fabric of the neighborhoods."
Ellard said she last saw Gumerson when he was overseeing clean up of debris at Harn Park in Heritage Hills.
Just a few days later both Gumerson and his wife Mary Ellen fell ill. They tested positive for COVID-19. Mary Ellen Gumerson successfully went through drug trials and recovered. And at first, she said, it looked as if her husband would recover as well.
"He did great and stayed home," Mary Ellen Gumerson said. "And then on the 15th, he started to feel not well."
Gumerson was taken to the emergency room at Integris Baptist where he stayed for two days before getting a private room at nearby Integris Deaconess. The Gumersons last spoke on Nov. 20.
"He called me on my birthday," Mary Ellen Gumerson said. "The nurse helped him make the call because he was so winded. He was sad he couldn't be with me to celebrate."
Gumerson said she doesn't know where and when they caught the virus.
"Bill never left the house," she said. "We were so vigilant. I did curbside pickup. But we didn't wear our masks outside. And I've learned now that it is most important if you're outside and there are people nearby, wear your mask."
Gumerson was a graduate design student at OU when he joined his father, architect Dow Gumerson, in his design and construction firm. Their first project together, the Ford Distributing Co., was built by Gumerson from his father's design.
The pair next worked on Nichols Hills Plaza. His father died during the project. Gumerson started Gumerson & Associates, a design build firm that worked on restoring the Boyd House for then OU President David Boren and restoring homes in historic neighborhoods.
Bob Blackburn, longtime director of the Oklahoma History Center, said Gumerson led in the early creation of the city's historic preservation movement starting in the mid-1960s.
"Bill was one of the cornerstones of historic preservation in Oklahoma City," Blackburn said. "He was carrying out the legacy of his dad, Dow."
Blackburn said Gumerson's legacy is preserved at the Overholser Mansion, which was the city's first mansion when it was built by city father Henry Overholser in 1903.
The mansion was purchased by the Oklahoma Historical Society in the mid-1970s but was later endangered due to lack of funds for upkeep. Gumerson solicited donations and volunteered his time for both the exterior rehab and ADA improvements to the adjoining Carriage House.
He also arranged with Preservation Oklahoma to take over running the mansion, allowing the historical society to save money on a full-time staffer at the mansion in the midst of state budget cuts.
"It's the oldest preserved home in Oklahoma City," Blackburn said. "Without him it would not be public anymore. It would be privately owned. … He was a good community leader who led with his money and his time."
