We were all blown away by how good the PlayStation Pro Limited Edition console and controller looked when Sony first announced it and while the console sold out soon after it was announced, you can still get the controllers and headsets.
Of course, you need to be prepared for the high price that it will be going for. The 500 Million Limited Edition Headset is currently being sold on Ebay for $100 while the 500 Million Limited Edition Controllers will be sold for $65.
Just like the console, the controller will also have the same gorgeous translucent blue design. The headset will be a deep blue version of their Gold Wireless headset that has a 7.1 virtual surround sound with augmented noise-canceling microphones.
Sony also has four other DualShock 4 design that they will be releasing on the 24th of September. The four new design will be sold for $65 each.

With their slow-burning chart reigns, and raw, yet familiar sensuality, Kings of Leon are the newly christened lords of the middle ground. Nearing the universality Matchbox 20 once achieved, the band can be all things to all people, meaning that the artistic domain they occupy is expansive, but vague–not unlike the ambiance of the corporate arenas they now regularly play. But Kings of Leon's crossover popularity has served the industry well: aside from the rare ability to bring Nickelback and Strokes fans together under one stadium roof, the band is also the unlikely darling of the fashion set. Caleb Followill and his bandmates simply exude rock 'n roll insouciance, a gritty je ne sais quoi. Leave it to ultra hip label and creative agency Surface2Air, then, to channel the Kings' all-American, salt-of-the-earth style into the newly launched capsule collection, S2A x KOL.
Limited to a "perfect dozen" items, the S2A x KOL collaboration is smartly edited to deliver maximum impact. Thematically, it presents the lively but familiar mix expected: a no-frills homage to the stage uniforms worn by the rockers of the early 1980s onward (and back again). These may be clothes that Kings of Leon, and countless other musicians, like to wear onstage as they play to thousands each night, but–like the songs they play–they are powerful, popular standards.
In other words, most men (fanboys or not) will find something to appreciate here. The collection stays relevant by delivering the greatest hits. Colors are streamlined to a bold and stark palette; reds, whites, and blacks feature prominently–a nod perhaps to the unofficial tricolor of the past ten years. Most of the best pieces sport a visibly Anglo aesthetic: the argyle sweater and fedoras pay homage to generations of frontmen raised on the Fred Perry ideal. Elsewhere, Chelsea Boots make a cameo, channeling the cool sangfroid of friend and Y2K rock peer Alex Kapranos. Of course, no music-inspired collection would be complete without a token leather jacket: the one featured here characterizes the greasy virility of Carl Barat circa 2001.
The S2A x KOL is available at Barney's, Bblessing, and Gargyle this week. Prices range from $115 for t-shirts to $1185 for the leather bomber jacket.

Local Mattress Chain: We Believe in Advertising on Las Vegas Radio
Apr 24, 2019 6:30:07 PM / by Larry Julius
"We are firmly committed to radio advertising," says David Mizrahi, owner and President of Best Mattress. "For the past two years, we have been advertising on Las Vegas radio stations three to four weeks every month of the year."
Best Mattress is the number-one locally owned chain of sleep shops in Nevada. The company operates 17 stores in the Las Vegas area.
"We started the company 25 years ago with 6 locations. In all, if you count our stores in Mesquite and St. George, Utah," says Mr. Mizrahi, "we now have a total of 22."
Two years ago, after all his time in the mattress business, Mr. Mizrahi decided to aggressively invest in advertising on Las Vegas radio stations.
"Up until then, we had been depending on direct mail and newspaper advertising. But because we have stores just about everywhere, Valassis, the company we used for direct mail, just became too expensive. I could no longer justify the expense of sending out 700,000 pieces of mail that most people just throw away."
"So I took that money and invested it in advertising on Las Vegas radio stations," he says. "Now that I had cut way back on direct mail, I could afford to do radio the right way."
Las Vegas Radio Reaches Almost Every Mattress Buyer
According to Nielsen, 298,000 people living in Las Vegas area households will purchase a mattress this year. Radio reaches 90.2% of these consumers. This is significantly more mattress buyers than watch local TV, read local newspapers, or log-on to a streaming audio site like Pandora and Spotify.
When Mr. Mizrahi says he wants to do radio right, he means he wants to reach every listener in the market who is planning to buy a mattress.
"A conventional approach to buying radio advertising is to cherry-pick the stations you buy. Usually concentrating on the ones that are most popular," he says. "I advertise on 18 different radio stations so I can make sure I reach everyone. Even the smallest radio stations have unique audiences that I can't reach anywhere else."
In addition to Las Vegas radio's universal reach among mattress buyers, Mr. Mizrahi finds another benefit.
"Most of my competitors are large, multi-national companies. Mattress Firm, for instance, is owned by Steinhoff, a South African company. Bob's Furniture, which just moved into Las Vegas, is owned by Bain Capital."
"All of our commercials on Las Vegas radio reinforce the fact that we are a local company. Every ad we run includes my voice telling listeners who we are and what our values are. We constantly remind people that when they do business with Best Mattress, they are dealing with an independent, hometown sleep shop. The other companies can't say that."
To help offset the cost of his aggressive advertising, Mr. Mizrahi depends on cooperative advertising funds provided by his vendors including TempurPedic, Beautyrest, and Stearns & Foster.
Cooperative advertising, or co-op, is a payment provided to local retailers for including a manufacturer's brand in its advertising. So, for instance, in half of Best Mattress's radio commercials, Mr. Mizrahi will mention Tempur-Pedic by name. In exchange, Tempur=Pedic picks up a portion of the cost of each of those commercials.
Co-op funds are available to 38% of all retailers. But, less than half of them take advantage of this "free" advertising money.
Mr. Mizrahi, on the other hand, uses all of his co-op funds. "Almost 40% of all of my advertising," he says, "is paid for from co-op."
Two years ago, when Mr. Mizrahi began investing in radio advertising, he was not sure if it would produce results. "I committed to myself that I would try it for six months regardless of what happened."
If anyone asks Mr. Mizrahi if his radio advertising worked, he replies, "I'm still on the air, aren't I?"
Advertising Advice From David Mizrahi
Mr. Mizrahi believes advertising on Las Vegas radio stations will work for most small business owners if they are prepared to do the following:
Create a budget that will work. Typically, 10% of sales.
Be patient. Don't expect results right away. Even with our aggressive budgets, it took almost 60 days before we started to see results.
Ask vendors to help out. Many of them will have co-op funds and other programs that they can provide to offset the cost of advertising.

WGA Nominations: Where's Gary Tomlin and Josh Griffith?
While reporting on the nominees for the 2014 Writers Guild of America Awards (See: WGA Nominations: 'Days of our Lives', 'General Hospital' and 'The Young and the Restless'), a couple of names appeared to have been omitted, specifically "Days of our Lives" co-head writer, Gary Tomlin, and former "The Young and the Restless" head writer, Josh Griffith. A couple of you inquired with us about that, and I in fact initially questioned it myself, at least until I was quickly reminded that both Tomlin and Griffith went "fi-core" during the 2007-2008 writers strike.

Reality is fragile. Put on a VR headset and you'll immediately feel how easily your brain can be fooled.
In My Absence let's you enter the experience of children with absence epilepsy, and bring you up and close with the physical sensations of absence epilepsy.
describe absence seizures millions of youngsters suffer from.
Children with absences suffer from seizures in which they are 'gone' for a few seconds, sometimes multiple times a day. The scientific paradigm is: there's no consciousness in seizures. We've challenged that. We asked ourselves the question: Where are they, in their absence? By talking with experience experts, we found words and visuals for absences and started to change this paradigm.
Through the intense sensory and embodied experiences VR can offer, we found a medium capable of describing the indescribable.

With a timeless appeal and community lifestyle, Eastwood is the place to be not just for families but also for married couples and young single people. With casual eateries, cafes and restaurants (plus several businesses that cater to people of Asian, European and other cultures), the suburb has become an ideal home.
Although many stores were closed due to growth of nearby areas, Eastwood is still growing and in fact its identity has been somehow preserved due to the temporary inactivity. We can still have a glimpse of Eastwood's rich history because of the landmarks such as the Brush Farm House and Eastwood Park Grandstand and Pavilion. Also, the Brush Farm has continued to become a thriving home for owls, doves and other interesting animals.
But for a modern suburb (while still protecting the ecosystems) such as Eastwood to thrive, it's important that the basics are covered first. It's especially the case in clean and safe drinking water. After all, it's about your health and without safe drinking water, leading an interesting and productive life is impossible.
We have experienced technicians who can ensure proper installation and perfect functioning through flow checks and pressure tests. Rest assured that the parts are non-corrosive and up to the highest standards (parts are made in US, UK or Australia to ensure quality and longevity).
Having safe and clean water is also important in workplaces. In addition, it's important to stay hydrated all day or have a cup of hot water for coffee especially during long hours of work and meetings.
Our experienced technicians will ensure proper installation and perfect functioning. When it's time for servicing, we'll do it promptly to minimise the interruptions to your home or work activities.
Contact us here today at Filtap to ensure authenticity, quality and performance. You can ask us about our product range, comprehensive warranties, free installations and current discounted rates.

On Truth & Reality
The Wave Structure of Matter (WSM) in Space
Abuse, Addiction & Treatment, Types, Legal & Illegal /Street, Effects, Experimentation & Enlightenment, Timothy Leary, Psychedelic Experiment & Tibetan Book of Dead
O nobly born, listen carefully:
At this point you can become aware of the wave structure of the world around you.
Everything you see dissolves into energy vibrations.
Look closely and you will tune in on the electric dance of energy.
There are no longer things and persons but only the direct flow of particles.
Consciousness will now leave your body and flow into the stream of wave rhythm.
(The Psychedelic Experience ~ A manual based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead. By Timothy Leary, Ralph Metzner, Richard Alpert)
Introduction - Timothy Leary / Psychedelic Drugs - The Psychedelic Experience / Tibetan Book of the Dead - Drug Quotes / Abuse of Drugs, Prohibition, Government - Addiction Quotations - Strange Fruit / Magick & Drugs - Re-Unification of Sacred & Natural / Ralph Metzner - Drugs / Drug Abuse Addiction Links - Top of Page
Drugs (abuse and addiction) are now very common in human society. Drugs have obviously been used throughout human history, the concern now is the prevalence, potency and diversity of designer drugs, the health effects of long term use and government legislation.
So what is drug abuse and why do we become addicted to certain drugs? As an evolutionary philosopher, I was interested to read the following article in the newspaper;
Public perceptions of alcohol and drug abuse differ widely. Some people believe it is a moral problem that individuals bring on themselves and therefore should have the strength of character to overcome. Some see it as a law and order issue, others as an illness where the drug user is a blameless victim of a chronic disease. Whatever the perceptions, there is no doubt that addiction is a chronic, relapsing and sometimes fatal disorder, characterised by compulsive, often uncontrollable, drug seeking.
During the past two decades research has finally been able to provide some answers as to why some people are compelled to abuse certain substances, in spite of horrific consequences for themselves and their families. One of the most important breakthroughs is the discovery that all drugs of abuse work on the same part of the brain, even though they have different behavioural effects on the body.
This part of the brain, known as the reward center, is responsible for reinforcing behaviour that is necessary for our survival as a species, such as eating and sexual activity. It involves neurotransmitters such as dopamine that provide powerful feelings of reward and pleasure. Drugs of abuse work by creating surges of dopamine that override this pathway to producing intense feelings of reward and wellbeing.
Thus, while drugs such as nicotine, alcohol and heroin produce different effects in the user, they all use a single pathway in the brain and cause a rise in the level of neurotransmitters.
The catch is that by artificially changing the chemical balance in the brain, drug abusers unknowingly create long term changes. (Margaret O'Rourke, The Weekend Australian, Weekend Health, November 29-30, 2003)
As this article suggests, we have evolved to become addicted to certain things which enhance our survival and spread our genes, such as food, work and sex. Our modern day western society offers us many things and sensations we may get addicted to which are not good for us. Thus there is conflict between our evolved instincts and our environment, which can cause great suffering.
Moderation is a principle of living which can help reduce suffering. As Michel de Montaigne wrote;
There is no pleasure, however proper, which does not become a matter of reproach when excessive and intemperate. (de Montaigne)
The individual will needs to be strong to live moderately with drug use. With the strong nature of Addiction, in that the desire for drugs is greater than the individual's will to overcome the addiction, drug addiction requires external force (removal of drugs, change of environment) such that the person (in the short term) is prevented from drug use. This webpage is written as a way of helping others - I have experienced the destructiveness of drug addiction and see the prevalence of drug use (abuse) in our modern society. As a philosopher (with two young children who are growing up very fast) I think it is important to discuss such problems with truth, honesty and moderation of extreme views (there are good and bad things about drug use).
There are two common themes that I find interesting when reading on Psychedelic drug use (e.g. LSD) - the sense of Oneness, that all is interconnected, and the breaking down of our naive real sense of solid matter to be replaced by an awareness of the Wave Structure of Matter and energy flow. I have never experimented with such drugs and have come to similar understandings of the universe through studying physics, philosophy and metaphysics. Please see below for a brief introduction to the Metaphysics of Space and Motion and the Wave Structure of Matter.
We greatly appreciate any comments on how we can improve this website and its content. So please feel free to write to us.
Geoff Haselhurst,
Timothy Leary - Enlightenment & the Use of Psychedelic Drugs
There are two common themes that I find interesting when reading on Psychedelic drug use (e.g. LSD) - the sense of Oneness, that all is interconnected, and the breaking down of the 'naive real' sense of solid matter to be replaced by an awareness of the Wave Structure of Matter and energy flow.
One of the great problems faced by understanding Reality is that we do not actually see the 'real world' but our mind's representation of the world (the naive real). It has been the task of philosophers and scientists for thousands of years to get beyond the naive real (or our minds representation of the world) and to understand things as they truly are. This is what it truly means to be 'Enlightened'. As Immanuel Kant put it, 'to understand the thing in itself'. This is the subject of Metaphysics.
Albert Einstein shows a good understanding of the naive real as he writes;
The more aristocratic illusion concerning the unlimited penetrative power of thought has as its counterpart the more plebeian illusion of naive realism, according to which things 'are' as they are perceived by us through our senses. This illusion dominates the daily life of men and of animals; it is also the point of departure in all of the sciences, especially of the natural sciences. As Russell wrote; 'We all start from naive realism, i.e., the doctrine that things are what they seem. We think that grass is green, that stones are hard, and that snow is cold. But physics assures us that the greenness of grass, the hardness of stones, and the coldness of snow are not the greenness, hardness, and coldness that we know in our own experience, but something very different. The observer, when he seems to himself to be observing a stone, is really, if physics is to be believed, observing the effects of the stone upon himself'. (Albert Einstein)
As does Fritjof Capra; In ordinary life, we are not aware of the unity of all things, but divide the world into separate objects and events. This division is useful and necessary to cope with our everyday environment, but it is not a fundamental feature of reality. It is an abstraction devised by our discriminating and categorising intellect. To believe that our abstract concepts of separate 'things' and 'events' are realities of nature is an illusion. (Capra, The Tao of Physics, p142)
By taking drugs we change how our mind represents the world. As Freud writes:
Consciousness is an electrochemical function of the nervous system. Insert a new chemical into the brain and Consciousness changes radically. (Sigmund Freud)
I suspect that what is happening to people who are taking LSD, is that they are seeing things more truly, beyond the naive real and experiencing the interconnection and unity of the Wave Structure of Matter (of Reality). I am yet to try such drugs, but perhaps I will write about my experiences in the future, as did Timothy Leary. I hope you enjoy the following excerpt from The Psychedelic Experience and think upon the Wave Structure of Matter (with and without the aid of drugs!). Feel free to write to us with any thoughts or drug experiences that are conducive to the Wave Structure of Matter (WSM).
The Psychedelic Experience
A Manual based on Tibetan Book of the Dead By Timothy Leary, Ph.D., Ralph Metzner, Ph.D., & Richard Alpert, Ph.D.
THE WAVE-VIBRATION STRUCTURE OF EXTERNAL FORMS
(Eyes open, rapt involvement with the external visual stimuli, intellectual aspects)
There is no need for talk or action.
Let your brain become a receiving set for the radiance.
All interpretations are the products of your own mind.
Dispel them. Have no fear.
Exult in the natural power of your own brain,
The wisdom of your own electricity.
Abide in the state of quietude.
As the three-dimensional world fragments, you may feel panic;
You may beget a fondness for the heavy dull world of objects you are leaving.
At this time, fear not the transparent, radiant, dazzling wave energy.
Allow your intellect to rest.
Fear not the hook-rays of the light of life,
The basic structure of matter,
The basic form of wave communication.
Watch quietly and receive the message.
You will now experience directly the revelation of primal forms.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR VISION 5: THE VIBRATORY WAVES OF EXTERNAL UNITY
(Eyes open; rapt involvement with external stimuli such as lights, or movements; emotional aspects)
You are experiencing the unity of all living forms.
If people seem to you rubbery and lifeless, like plastic puppets,
Be not afraid.
This is only the attempt of the ego to maintain its separate identity.
Allow yourself to feel the unity of all.
Merge with the world around you.
Enjoy the dance of the puppets.
They are created by your own mind.
Allow yourself to relax and feel the ecstatic energy-vibrations pulsing through you.
Enjoy the feeling of complete one-ness with all life and all matter.
The glowing radiance is a reflection of your own consciousness.
It is one aspect of your divine nature.
Do not be attached to your old human self.
Do not be alarmed at the new and strange feelings you are having.
If you are attracted to your old self,
You will be reborn shortly for another round of game-existence.
Exercise humble trust and remain fearless.
You will merge into the heart of the Blessed Ratnasambhava,
In a Halo of Rainbow Light,
And attain liberation in the Realm Endowed with Glory.
Drug Quotes: On Drug Abuse, Prohibition & the Government
The prestige of government has undoubtedly been lowered considerably by the prohibition law. For nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced. It is an open secret that the dangerous increase of crime in this country is closely connected with this. (Albert Einstein, My First Impression of the U.S.A., 1921)
America have taken the hard line approach of 'war on drugs'. Debate rages as to the effectiveness of their policies, spending (the U.S. federal government will spend over 19.2 billion dollars at a rate of about $609 per second on the War on Drugs this year, 2003) and marijuana laws. (In 2000, there were 1,579,566 drug arrests in the US. Of those, 46.5 percent - 734,497 arrests - were for marijuana.)
Every friend of freedom must be as revolted as I am by the prospect of turning the United States into an armed camp, by the vision of jails filled with casual drug users and of an army of enforcers empowered to invade the liberty of citizens on slight evidence. (Milton Friedman, Nobel Prize-winning economist)
Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded. (Abraham Lincoln: Speech in the Illinois House of Representatives, Dec 18, 1840)
Prohibition only drives drunkenness behind doors and into dark places, and does not cure it, or even diminish it. (Mark Twain: Letter from New York to the Alta Californian, May 28, 1867)
Government is not reason; it is not eloquence; it is force! Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master. (George Washington)
Power is sweet; it is a drug, the desire for which increases with a habit. (Bertrand Russell: Saturday Review, 1951)
Mistrust those in whom the urge to punish is strong. (Friedrich Nietzsche)
Frequent punishments are always a sign of weakness or laziness on the part of a government. (Jean Jacques Rousseau)
Make the most of the Indian hemp seed, and sow it everywhere! (George Washington, Note to the gardener at Mount Vernon, 1794 "The Writings of George Washington" Volume 33, page 270, Library of Congress) (George Washington, first president of the United States of America, grew cannabis on Mount Vernon, his plantation, for about 30 years. He may have used the Indian hemp to treat his chronic tooth aches.)
Our youth can not understand why society chooses to criminalize a behaviour with so little visible ill effect or adverse social impact ... These young people have jumped the fence and found no cliff. And the disrespect for the possession laws fosters a disrespect for laws and the system in general .. On top of this is the distinct impression among the youth that some police may use the marijuana laws to arrest people they don't like for other reasons, whether it be their politics, their hair style or their ethnic background.
Federal and state laws (should) be changed to no longer make it a crime to possess marijuana for private use.
State laws should make the public use of marijuana a criminal offense punishable by a $100 fine. Under federal law, marijuana smoked in public would merely be subject to seizure. (President Richard M. Nixon's National Commission on marijuana and Drug Abuse, "marijuana: A Signal of Misunderstanding", March 1972)
Penalties against possession of a drug should not be more damaging to an individual than the use of the drug itself; and where they are, they should be changed. Nowhere is this more clear than in the laws against possession of marijuana in private for personal use ... Therefore, I support legislation amending Federal law to eliminate all Federal criminal penalties for the possession of up to one ounce [28g] of marijuana. (Jimmy Carter, U.S. President, Message to congress, 1977)
Western governments ... will lose the war against dealers unless efforts are switched to prevention and therapy .. All penalties for drug users should be dropped ... Making drug abuse a crime is useless and even dangerous ... Every year we seize more and more drugs and arrest more and more dealers but at the same time the quantity available in our countries still increases .. Police are losing the drug battle worldwide. (Raymond Kendall, secretary general of INTERPOL, January 1994)
In strict medical terms marijuana is far safer than many foods we commonly consume. It is physically impossible to eat enough marijuana to induce death. Marijuana, in its natural form, is one of the safest therapeutically active substances known to man. (Francis L. Young, Administrative Law Judge of the US drug police DEA, September 6, 1988)
If you look at all the harms associated with drug use, you need to ask, 'Is the harm caused by the drug or the war on drugs?' As a drug, heroin gives a euphoric reaction and is highly addictive. You can say that but if you look at the other problems -- HIV, hepatitis C, bacterial infections of the heart -- all of those things are caused by dirty needles because the activity is confined to alleys. The violence is caused by money. Corruption and crime aren't a function of the drug, they're a function of the war on drugs. (Martin Schechter, Head of the Department of Health Care and Epidemiology at the University of British Columbia, National Post (Canada) Pubdate: Tue, 21 Jan 2003)
... if we judge whether the existing drugs policy is working by measurable reductions in the number of people who use drugs, the number who die or suffer harm as a result, the supply of drugs, the amount of crime committed to get money to buy drugs and the organised criminality involved in transporting and supplying drugs, we have to say that the results are not coming through. (Association of Chief Police Officers, Financial Times, (UK) 29/5/2002)
Finally, there's the ridiculous notion that the conclusions of our report in some way promote or advance criminal activity or support terrorism. Currently, organized crime enjoys vast profits from the sale of illicit drugs. Legalization takes the production and distribution of cannabis products out of the hands of organized crime. Profits would go to shareholders, not terrorists or gang members. Perhaps most important of all, buyers wouldn't be purchasing the product from someone who is also selling crack cocaine or heroin. If there is any "gateway effect" that can be attributed to cannabis, it's the fact that buyers, especially young people, are exposed to these dealers who stand to gain far more from pushing much more highly addictive substances on their customers than they do from selling cannabis. (Senator Pierre-Claude Nolin, chairman, Special Committee on Illegal Drugs, Ottawa, Thursday, October 10, 2002)
https://www.ffdlr.org.au/resources/quotes.htm - Families and Friends for Drug Law Reform
Scientific evidence overwhelmingly indicates that cannabis is substantially less harmful than alcohol and should be treated not as a criminal issue but as a social and public health issue. (Senator Pierre Claude Nolin, Canada, 2002)
On Sept. 4, 2002, the special Senate Committee on Illegal Drugs released its final report, which recommended that the government make smoking pot legal and wipe clean the records of anyone convicted of possession.
Our policies that we build around this drug are far more harmful than the drug itself. (Eugene Oscapella, executive director of the Canadian Foundation for Drug Policy, Sept. 4, 2002)
By keeping marijuana illegal, says Oscapella, Canada's drug laws support organized crime and terrorist groups around the world.
We're not legalizing it, we're decriminalizing. (Prime Minister Jean Chrétien, April 29, 2003)
Ottawa's plan is to decriminalize the possession of small amounts of marijuana, though possession would remain illegal. The difference is that those caught would no longer get a criminal record or face jail time; they would still face fines, similar to parking tickets.
Quotations on Will & Addiction
Why has the will an influence over the tongue and fingers, not over the heart or liver? (David Hume, 1737)
We learn the influence of our will from experience alone. And experience only teaches us, how one event constantly follows another; without instructing us in the secret connexion, which binds them together, and renders them inseparable. (David Hume, 1737)
The command of the mind over itself is limited, as well as its command over the body; and these limits are not known by reason, or any acquaintance with the nature of cause and effect, but only by experience and observation, as in all other natural events and in the operation of external objects. Our authority over our sentiments and passions is much weaker than that over our ideas; and even the latter authority is circumscribed within very narrow boundaries. (David Hume, 1737)
This self-command is very different at different times. A man in health possesses more of it than one languishing with sickness. We are more master of our thoughts in the morning than in the evening: Fasting, than after a full meal. (David Hume, 1737)
'What the expression is intended to mean, I think, is that there is a better and a worse element in the character of each individual, and that when the naturally better element controls the worse then the man is said to be "master of himself", as a term of praise. But when (as a result of bad upbringing or bad company) one's better element is overpowered by the numerical superiority of one's worse impulses, then one is criticized for not being master of oneself and for lack of selfcontrol.' (Plato, The Republic)
Strange Fruit – Magick and Drugs by Julian Vayne (2002)
The following quotations have been heavily edited. Read the complete text at https://www.whitedragon.org.uk/articles/fruit.htm
The search to find a reliable tree of knowledge, a drug that would spiritually awaken humans on a consistent basis, has been on for at least 100 years. Since the death of god declared by Nietzsche (and others), we have had wave after wave of chemical prophets who have wanted to tell us exactly what humans are going to need to snort or toke before we can become 'Supermen'. .. Aldous Huxley waxes lyrical about Mescaline, while Timothy Leary extols LSD as the savior chemical. Most recently Terrence McKenna has argued that it is tryptamine-based hallucinogens that will save us all.
Drugs can have different effects depending on a literally infinite number of factors (from what you had to eat, to the last film you saw, to the fact that your trip is undertaken close to the ocean). What I believe is important is not the drug so much as the drug experience itself.
.. A drug (the wine of the mass, the peyote of native American religion) may be a focal and important part of a spiritual tradition but it is not the raison d'être for human spirituality. Rather spirituality is the context within which the drug is taken, and in terms of which the experience of intoxication is interpreted. .. There are many ancient cultures and groups who may have used transformative drugs, though the emphasis is placed on the transformation, the magical experience itself, rather than on the drug. This might be because the knowledge of these herbs was itself sacred and secret. It may also be because the drug is the doorway but not itself the journey. In our culture we tend to look for the reason, the herb that is responsible for the mystical experience.
The magical use of drugs may come as a spontaneous knowledge. It may also be the result of training, either with drugs themselves or by using other methods of self-development and change. Any process can be carried out in a 'magical manner' - examples across time and culture include martial arts, ritual drama, sex, surfing, or meditative practice. As with many things in life - and with the magical use of drugs in particular - it ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it.
My feeling is that any transformative process must include what I refer to as 'the shamanic return'. That is, after gaining some new insight, some new view of the world through the transgressive experience, it must be possible to return to society and utilise that experience within a social context – to have learned something. What use is it if the mad utter profound truths if we, the supposedly sane, cannot understand them? If madness does have a message it must be understood and conceptualised in such a way that it can feed back into culture. This is one of the most important points concerning the special usefulness of drugs as transformative agents.
The concept of drugs straddles not only the divisions between Self and Other and between matter and mind, but also the division between natural and artificial.

Re-Unification of Sacred & Natural / Ralph Metzner - Drugs / Drug Abuse Addiction Links - Top of Page
Ralph Metzner, The Re-Unification of the Sacred & the Natural (1997)
The following quotations have been heavily edited. Read the complete text at https://www.deoxy.org/pdfa/sacred-and-natural.htm
I summarize my thesis in two statements:
1 -- The relentless exploitation and destruction of the biosphere by the capitalist-industrial growth machine around the globe is rooted in a pathological domination complex of "civilized" humans toward the natural world.
2 -- The revival of interest in animistic worldviews and in the shamanic practices of traditional peoples, including the intentional use of hallucinogenic sacraments, is among the hopeful signs that the split between the sacred and the natural can be healed again.
A recognition and respect for the spiritual essences inherent in nature is basic to the worldview of indigenous peoples, as it was for our own ancestors in pre-industrial societies. In shamanistic societies, that is societies in which the reality of other, non-material worlds is recognized, people have always devoted considerable attention to cultivating a direct perceptual and spiritual relationship with animals, plants and the Earth itself in all its magnificent variety. Our modern materialist worldview, with its obsessive focus on technological progress and on the control and exploitation of what are called "natural resources", has become more or less completely dissociated from such a spiritual awareness of nature.
In order to focus the discussion on hallucinogenic plant sacraments, I will begin by quoting from the notes I made of my own first experience with yâgé/ayahuasca ..
The basic model of reality, the understanding of the cosmos, that is revealed by such experiences, is basically similar to that shared by indigenous shamanistic cultures, and radically different from the prevailing Western paradigm associated with mechanistic science.
* The fundamental reality of the universe is a continuum, a unitive field or fabric, of energy and consciousness, that is beyond time, space and all forms, and yet within them.
* In traditional Asian religions, this unitive field is variously referred to as Tao, or Brahman. In the systems language of post-modern science it is seen as an infinitely complex system of interrelationships, or "web of life" (Capra, 1996; Goldsmith, 1993).
* The universal unitive field or cosmic continuum has a basic symmetrical polarity, referred to by names such as yin/yang, light/dark, positive/negative charge, male/female, electric/magnetic, Father Sky - Mother Earth and numerous others. These polarities can be observed and experienced at all levels of reality, from the macrocosmic to the microscopic.
* Since we are part of the unified system of interdependence, just like every other being, we can never actually be outside of it, like a detached "objective" observer. But since the unified field is energy, we are energetically connected to every other form and being in the universe. And since the field is consciousness, this enables us, as human beings, to attune with, identify with, and communicate with any and every other life-form, object or being in the universe, from the macrocosmic to the microscopic.

Help Humanity
"You must be the change you wish to see in the world."
(Mohandas Gandhi)
"When forced to summarize the general theory of relativity in one sentence: Time and space and gravitation have no separate existence from matter. ... Physical objects are not in space, but these objects are spatially extended. In this way the concept 'empty space' loses its meaning. ... The particle can only appear as a limited region in space in which the field strength or the energy density are particularly high. ...
The free, unhampered exchange of ideas and scientific conclusions is necessary for the sound development of science, as it is in all spheres of cultural life. ... We must not conceal from ourselves that no improvement in the present depressing situation is possible without a severe struggle; for the handful of those who are really determined to do something is minute in comparison with the mass of the lukewarm and the misguided. ...
Humanity is going to need a substantially new way of thinking if it is to survive!" (Albert Einstein)
Our world is in great trouble due to human behaviour founded on myths and customs that are causing the destruction of Nature and climate change. We can now deduce the most simple science theory of reality - the wave structure of matter in space. By understanding how we and everything around us are interconnected in Space we can then deduce solutions to the fundamental problems of human knowledge in physics, philosophy, metaphysics, theology, education, health, evolution and ecology, politics and society.
This is the profound new way of thinking that Einstein realised, that we exist as spatially extended structures of the universe - the discrete and separate body an illusion. This simply confirms the intuitions of the ancient philosophers and mystics.
Given the current censorship in physics / philosophy of science journals (based on the standard model of particle physics / big bang cosmology) the internet is the best hope for getting new knowledge known to the world. But that depends on you, the people who care about science and society, realise the importance of truth and reality.

0800 4 SeNCit
Margarets Story
Written by 4.7.2
Protecting loved ones when something goes wrong
Margaret loves to sit on her veranda on sunny days. For the 90-year-old Auckland woman, it's a perfect way to rest, enjoy the quiet and warm her arthritic shoulders.
But one day last winter, Margaret accidentally dozed off while sitting on her veranda and slipped off her chair, crashing onto a steel peg bucket and breaking her femur in three places.
She spent six painful hours waiting for help. First, she called for help from her veranda but none of her neighbours heard her. Then, she spent two hours crawling into her dining room, where she managed to light a gas heater to keep warm and collapsed. Unable to reach the phone at the far end of her home, she waited for three more hours until her nephew came home and called an ambulance. She spent three months in hospital recovering from her injuries.
"We wish we knew about SeNCit before this happened," says Margaret's nephew Alan. "We would have been alerted much sooner that something was wrong without my aunt having to physically activate any alarms. This would have significantly minimised her long, painful ordeal and her injuries."
With no previous history of falls or medical worries, Margaret didn't have a medical alarm but her family has since installed a SeNCit device to help protect her and to alert them when something isn't right at her home in the future.
"We now have confidence that if something goes wrong when we're not around, SeNCit will automatically alert us," Alan says. "That gives us all a lot of peace of mind that Margaret is safe at home when we're not around."
SeNCit was designed for people just like Margaret and her family. It was developed by a UK man after his mother fell in her house and died after she was unable to raise any alarm for help.
The discreet unit attaches to a wall and plugs into a normal power outlet. It monitors for movement and lets loved ones know by txt message if there hasn't been any when there should be. It can be controlled via any mobile phone via txt and can even be turned into an intruder alarm for when you pop out the house.
It can be programmed to monitor for movement at times of the day when there normally should be activity – therefore unobtrusively letting you know if this isn't the case, so you can phone and check on loved ones. It offers peace of mind not only to an ageing, independent population but also to their families.

Did the Education Ministry cheat on Malaysia's school scores on Pisa?
Pisa is a triennial international survey produced by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) to benchmark the performance students worldwide.
In 2015, over half a million students, representing 28 million 15-year-old students in 72 countries, took the internationally agreed two-hour test.
They were assessed in science, mathematics, reading, collaborative problem solving and financial literacy.
Pua said the alleged manipulation by Education Ministry underscores how the authorities are more keen on pursuing statistical benchmarks and are not interested in real substantive quality and performance of students.
Ong Kian Ming: The education minister should explain so that we are not fooled into thinking that all is well and good in our education system as 'evidenced' by the latest Pisa scores.
Education Ministry officials who attempted to "cheat" the Programme for International Students Assessment (Pisa 2015) should be sacked, said Petaling Jaya Utara MP Tony Pua.
Pua said the official explanation by assessment organisers had strongly implied that Malaysia's disqualification from the Pisa 2015 overall ranking had to do with the manipulation of assessment results.
Pisa 2015 Results Volume 1 (Excellence and Equity in Education) report released earlier this month had recorded Malaysia's mean score for science, reading and mathematics.
"In Malaysia, the Pisa assessment was conducted in accordance with the operational standards and guidelines of the OECD.
sampled Malaysian schools (51 percent) falls well short of the standard Pisa response rate of 85 percent.
This, to Pua, was evidence to allege that Education Ministry officials had attempted to manipulate the results by using a biased sample of schools.
"(The sample used) will not present a fair and accurate reflection of students' performance in Malaysia," said Pua.
Ong Kian Ming: Did the Education Ministry artificially boost Malaysia's school scores?
MP SPEAKS When the Programme for International Student Assessment (Pisa) 2015 results were released on Dec 6, officials from the Education Ministry were quoted in a news report as taking pride that Malaysia's Pisa's scores for Mathematics, Reading and Science had improved from 421, 398 and 420 respectively in 2012 to 446, 431 and 443 respectively in 2015.
No doubt, mnisters, deputy ministers and politicians from the BN will use the latest Pisa scores as 'proof' that Malaysia is on the 'right track' when it comes to the standard of education in the country.
What they would have conveniently left out is the fact that Malaysia does not feature anywhere in the 2015 Pisa rankings for Mathematics, Reading and Science.
Why was it that only 51 percent of the schools initially chosen for the Pisa test participated in the test in 2015? Was it because the Education Ministry wanted to over-represent students from better performing schools and leave out students from low performing schools?
This 51 percent participation rate raises many suspicions, since Malaysia's participation rate was 99.3 percent and 100 percent in Pisa 2009 (Page 103, 151 out of 152 schools participated) and Pisa 2012 respectively (Page 181).
It is hard to imagine any school principal not allowing his or her school to participate in the Pisa 2015 test if the Education Ministry had already chosen that school to be in the original sample.
One suspects that the Education Ministry over-sampled the high performing schools in the Pisa 2015 sample and excluded some of the lower performing schools from the sample.
For example, according to the website of the Negri Sembilan Department of Education, the 14 schools listed as the Pisa 2015 sample schools include all seven (100 percent) of Negri Sembilan's secondary-level High Performing Schools or Sekolah Berprestasi Tinggi (SBT), and all eight (100 percent) of its Fully Residential Schools or Sekolah Berasrama Penuh (SBP). The average student from a SBT or SBP will clearly outperform an average student from a regular secondary school.
Out of a total sample of 8,861 students, 2,661 or 30 percent were from fully residential schools (See Table 1 below). This is clearly an over sampling of students from fully residential schools, since they only comprise less than three percent of the 15-year-old cohort in 2015.
It is highly likely that those overseeing Pisa 2015 saw that the Education Ministry in Malaysia was trying to rig the sample size in order to artificially boost its scores. Is this why Malaysia was ultimately excluded from Pisa 2015 rankings?
The evidence of a biased sample in favour of high performing schools can also been seen in Pisa 2015's own data on Malaysia.

Human mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) are found in adult tissues such as bone marrow and are able to differentiate into osteogenic, chondrogenic and adipogenic tissues. There is intense interest in determining how MSCs may be used in future cell-based therapies, including gene therapy, immunotherapy and tissue engineering, and as in vitro models for fundamental research and drug discovery. However, little is known about MSC identity and research is often performed on heterogeneous mixtures of different MSC sub-populations. Using a process of telomerase-based immortalisation and cell cloning, we have generated several different MSC lines that represent different "types" of MSCs. For example, some MSC lines demonstrate tri-lineage, whereas other are bi-potent, uni-potent or nulli-potent. This project will examine the differentiation characteristics of these MSC lines to determine how they reflect MSC sub-populations in vivo. Self-funded.

The quality of Luke's work was excellent from the detailed written estimate to the completed job.
Luke was easy to deal with and demonstrated his skill and experience, when he, very effectively, resolved a couple of unforeseen problems during the installation and conversion process. At the completion of the work he was very careful to ensure that the area was left clean and tidy.
We would recommend Luke for all plumbing and gas work.

Q: Vuetify color picker hidden bar In my project I use a v-color-picker like in doc https://vuetifyjs.com/en/components/color-pickers/#canvas.
My code is
<v-color-picker v-model="color"/>

This seems to be ok, but when it renders, the color bar is hidden (?) like you can see in image (the bar should be at the right of the green circle).

Any ideas?
