Single Review: I'm With Her – 'Crossing Muddy Waters'
Leave a comment Posted by Jonathan Pappalardo on April 2, 2015
"Crossing Muddy Waters" debuts I'm With Her, an impromptu collaboration between Sara Watkins, Sarah Jarosz, and Aoife O'Donovan. The trio, which formed serendipitously during the 2014 Telluride Bluegrass Festival, has graced us with a delicate reading of title track from John Hiatt's fifteen-year-old acoustic record.
Since "Crossing Muddy Waters" is already a folksy bluegrass song, the trio's arrangement isn't a revelatory reinterpretation but rather a faithful take on Hiatt's track. The production (Watkins on fiddle, Jarosz on banjo, and O'Donovan on guitar) is still gorgeous, beaming with an unexpectedly full sound considering the use of just three instruments.
The record is anchored by two distinctly different altos – O'Donovan gives the verses a delicate whisper while Watkins infuses the chorus with her distinctive smokiness. The effect gives the record a lighter than air quality, perfectly matching the delicateness they bring when plucking away on their instruments.
While the recording itself isn't spellbinding, the addition of Watkins gives the tune an extra spice, uniqueness unmatched by O'Donovan and Jarosz. Watkins, who has found her voice experimenting through two vastly different solo albums, has grown increasingly more confident the more comfortable she becomes within the space she's carved out for herself as an artist and performer. Her fascinating artistic development has informed her most recent work with Nickel Creek and now I'm With Her.
There's nothing but potential here, which is the most exciting takeaway from this recording. I'm With Her has a solid foundation both sonically and vocally. They also have the opportunity to reap great rewards should they continue to develop and take risks. "Crossing Muddy Waters" is merely an amuse-bouche, a tiny bite of a full-length album they haven't yet committed to make (they're all working on solo records at the moment). If they do, it'll hopefully contain original music that'll allow the trio to find their collective voice as a band.
Grade A-
Note: "Crossing Muddy Waters" is part of a 7" currently available for pre-order at their online store. They pair the song with their version of "Be My Husband," which was written by Andy Stroud and recorded by his wife Nina Simone in the mid-1960s.

MBN fighting opioid epidemic as more Mississippians overdose
by Alex Paton October 25, 2017

The Opioid Epidemic is tearing across the U.S. and Mississippi is fighting the opioid crisis in any way that they can.
John Dowdy, Director of the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics said they are looking to go into middle and high schools to educate kids and that medical professionals have scaled back on their opioid prescriptions.
"The medical licensure board, the board of nursing, the board of Pharmacy are going to be taking up some significant regulatory changes in the next couple of weeks," said Dowdy. "We feel like if those regulations are implemented, whatever the final form is, it's going to make a potential impact on at least the side of curtailing the prescribing of opioids."
Dowdy added that the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration has declared October 28 as National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day to address what it calls a crucial public safety and public health issue.
According to a 2015 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 6.4 million Americans abused controlled prescription drugs.
The study shows that a majority of abused prescription drugs were obtained from family and friends, often from the home medicine cabinet.
"Mississippians can help prevent drug addiction and overdose deaths by using this safe, convenient, and anonymous means of disposing of unused or expired prescription medications, including the powerful painkillers known as opioids," said DEA-Mississippi Assistant Special Agent in Charge Daniel Comeaux.
"Mississippi ranks 32nd among the 50 states in population, with 2.9 million people," said Dowdy. "And, it ranks fifth among the states for the number of opioid prescriptions, with 3.1 million in 2016."
Dowdy added that they are beginning to look at what legislation they will propose for the next legislative session and said that they are looking to increase the penalties for heroin and fentanyl distribution.
"I don't want another life to be lost as a result of this epidemic, but it's going to happen," said Dowdy. "Right now we are probably at 175 drug overdose deaths in Mississippi. That's what I know of, it's probably more than that, which I think we are going to surpass the record that was set last year. There were 211 drug overdose deaths in Mississippi last year, I think that we are going to greatly surpass that this year."
Prescription medications in all forms will be accepted for disposal from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. October 28 at locations around the state. To locate a nearby site, go online to https://takebackday.dea.gov.

Langgaard - Symphonies 12-14, Suite for Chorus & Orchestra
Label: Dacapo
Format: SACD
Langgaard, Rued
Symphony no.12 'Helsingeburg', BVN318
Symphony no.13 'Undertro' (Belief in Wonder), BVN319
Symphony no.14 'Morgenen' (Morning)
Danish National Symphony Orchestra
In this latest CD from Da Capo we have another stunning release from composer Rued Langgaard, following on from the success of his earlier CD and DVD release Antikrist featuring the same orchestra and conductor.
Rued Langgaard was a lonely figure in Danish music. His Late Romantic and Symbolist background, and his passionate views on art and the role of the artist brought him into conflict with the sober, anti-Romantic view of art that reigned supreme in Denmark in the inter-war years.
Langgaard�s symphonies make up a thought provoking, original contribution to the history of the symphony. The three symphonies of this CD were written during the years 1946-48, although the tonal language is provocatively conservative. Symphony No. 12 is an absurd construction full of autobiographical references. In Nos. 13 and 14 Langgaard revitalises romantic aesthetic in a simple, yet emphatically insistent manner.

Organics Biomass
Biomass alternative fuels
Pelleted biomass
Charcoal products can be produced from biomass sources such as charcoal from wood, woody agricultural products, the biogenic fraction of municipal wastes, nut shells, etc. The liquid and gaseous fractions obtained from biomass are a valuable fuel source; however, the solid fraction (charcoal) has the recovery potential of carbon black or as carbon adsorbent after applying an activation step. Charcoal is produced by slow heating wood (carbonization) in airtight ovens or retorts, in chambers with various gases, or in kilns supplied with limited and controlled amounts of air. Charcoal has the potential to improve soil properties, crop productivity, and carbon sequestration in soil. The most interesting temperature range for the production of the pyrolysis products is between 625 and 775 K. The charcoal yield decreased gradually from 43.5 to 31.0% for the walnut shell and from 38.3 to 25.4% for the spruce wood with an increase of temperature from 550 to 1150 K. The charcoal yield decreases as the temperature increases. The ignition temperature of charcoal increases as the carbonization temperature increases. The charcoal briquettes that are sold on the commercial market are typically made from a binder and a filler.

Self-love is an important part of living well and being happy. Which is partially why this month I'm focusing on fostering more self-love. I'm not talking about becoming more self-centered but being mindful of the thoughts I choose, practicing good self-care, and acceptance.
I've noticed this past year that, like many people, I'm hyper-critical of myself and this negatively affects my experience in the world as well as my judgments of others. It's the subconscious negative self-talk that steals joy in both my life and relationships. So, it's something I started to work on about a year ago.
Let's face it, we live in a culture that is obsessed with results. Often that works against us when we are looking to learn something new. The cultural expectations put a lot of "shoulds" in our minds. I should have started this when I was younger. I should have accomplished these goals by this point in my life. If I was ever going to be able to do this, I should have done it by now. When professional beach volleyball player Riley McKibbon discusses working through his frustrations in preseason training, he says, "Should is the demon child of hard work without direction and arbitrary expectations."
Getting your "shoulds" out into the light can bring a ton of clarity to their value in your life. When I do this, I usually find that my "shoulds" are not helping me at all and I happily kick them to the curb. Should is a way or arguing with what IS - and I have never had much success doing that.
Teachers often hear the question, "When am I going to use this?" This can be a sign of an interested student looking for how new information applies in life ...but 95% of the time its a student trying to make a decision about whether or not the energy required to "learn this" is worth it. They are looking for a way out. We do the same thing with our quest for overall health in our lives. Whenever it involves discomfort, we wonder - Is it really worth it? Do I really have to do this?
Finding your passion... is it even possible?
Hi there! I'm so glad to be in touch with you again. Do you feel unfulfilled because you lack having a clear passion to follow in your life?
I understand that feeling and as someone who has been on both sides of the fence: finding my passion and fulfilling it, to figuring it out "what's next" after it was fulfilled, I feel that I walked a wide spectrum and I can share some thoughts.
In a sense, my passion found me, because it was so in my face constantly, almost as an obsessive thought, reminding me that I wanted to manifest it.
The problem was, that the dream that I wanted to manifest seemed pretty impossible.
What if you were stuck, for 3 days, inside a massive gym with 10,000 athletes and 15,000 fans? You would try to gain a deeper understanding of life of course.
Anyone involved in a sport or hobby that consists of growth and performance has a unique opportunity to practice life. There are highs and lows, struggles and successes, victories and defeats, and you get to practice your response to all of it. The more you advance in your passion the more you learn that managing your mind is the key to success. You learn that commitment extends beyond what you feel like doing. You learn that circumstances don't cause your feelings ...your thoughts about those circumstances do. And you learn that the best tool get yourself out of a negative head space is to be of service to someone else.
Have you ever wondered, "how come other people don't have to go through this?" Like an event that shatters you or that you have a really tough time shaking off? Do you have seasons where you feel stuck in a funk?
You find yourself wondering, "what do I do now?"
We had the privelege of reading a series of blogs written by a very resilent woman. She shared her experience of overcoming the life event when her father passed away unexpectidly and the very next day her mom died too. Within two days both her parents were gone.
This resilient woman, Kathryn Sanford, is someone who can give you hope when you feel overwhelmed by difficulties or struggle. Her empathy for others who go through similar life events is astounding, and even more impressive is how well she explains how she was able to "just keep moving forward".
Finding your "soul mate" or life-long, best friend, plus romantic partner seems to get harder and harder as the years pass. Even with technology and all the different dating apps, so many ways to meet people, it doesn't simplify the process.
Unfortunately, often times it does the exact opposite of being helpful. All of this can leave us feeling unfulfilled, really busy, and unsuccessful.
Is there anything we can do differently?
Whitney shares how she took a "time-out" from dating to make sure she was the kind of person that the guy she wanted to attract would be attracted to. Sound a little contrary to meeting the right person? She thought so too at first.
After taking this intentional break to refocus, define personal values, and work on personal goals she was able to quiet some external distractions to start making major progress in becoming her BEST self.
What is something you desire to DO or ACHIEVE, but never have been successful at it in the past?
Maybe it's starting a business, losing 30lbs, cutting back on drinking, or earning a spot on a college sports team.
If you've put in any sacrifice towards a goal and failed, you may have been tempted to believe, "I've done this twice before and failed miserably", or "every time I've tried this it hasn't worked for me, so I must not be capable".
There are several obstacles we face when challenging ourselves with ambitious goals.
The tendency to look to your past for evidence of whether you can or cant.
Basing your ability to succeed on whether others believe you can or can't.
So, how do we overcome those obstacles and get back up again after failing with the belief it's possible?
Take one day at a time.
Allow others to be wrong about you.
Focus on your compelling reason why.
Have there ever been times, where you got punched in the gut by life? Maybe a family member got sick unexpectedly or you received bad news you didn't expect, that took some time to process it all. Or wondered, how you would get through it with your spirits lifted enough to continue.
In this episode, Jake and Whitney discuss a tough season of Jake's life when he was faced with circumstances that knocked him off his feet. It was going through a divorce that challenged him and required time to process it all.
Life is unpredictable. It's how we decide to respond to these difficult situations that will either make us stronger or cause additional suffering.
It's our goal, to share this story so you can be encouraged, know you're not alone, and feel hopeful for the good the future has in store. As long as you are willing to obtain the right type of mindset, look past those circumstances, then you can always bounce back.

This second instalment picks up exactly where the first one left off where the Incredibles are attempting to save the city from a giant mole super-villain. Unfortunately despite their best efforts, they do not catch the culprit and superheroes are condemned and remain illegal.
The movie predominately follows the story of Helen Parr/Elastagirl (Holly Hunter) who is hired by a man named Winston Deavor (Bob Odenkirk) who hopes to make superheroes legal again by showing conflicts from her perspective. Meanwhile, Bob Parr/Mr. Incredible (Craig T. Nelson) has to stay at home with the children – including baby Jack-Jack who is proving difficult.
Just like most other animations that have been released over the last couple of years (including Brave and Maleficent), the feminist movement is a major theme in this film. It features a gender role swap where Bob reluctantly takes over family life at home while Helen enjoys the action-heavy job of being a paid superhero.
Helen thrives at work, which shows how well-rounded she is at being a mum as well as an employee. But Bob is said to be 'too messy' to accept the superhero position and struggles to cope at home with the children, painting him as incompetent.
I'm going to say it – if Bob spoke Helen's script, there would be protests in the street. I believe this highlights that this isn't a movie promoting gender equality, it's displaying bitterness toward men by putting them down. Feminism isn't about revenge, please.
Eesh… Enough of the heavy.
Thankfully, everyone's favourite characters are in the sequel including Edna Mode (Brad Bird) and Lucious Best/Frozone (Samuel L. Jackson). They are sure to make you giggle!
The supervillain in this film, Screenslaver, has some pretty philosophical lines if you listen out for them. The character talks about staring at a screen all day instead of actually getting up and doing something, quite insightful considering the audience.
Screenslaver: Superheroes are part of a brainless desire to replace true experience with simulation. You don't talk, you watch talk shows. You don't play games, you watch game shows. Travel, relationships, risk; every meaningful experience must be packaged and delivered to you to watch at a distance so that you can remain ever-sheltered, ever-passive, ever-ravenous consumers who can't free themselves to rise from their couches to break a sweat, never anticipate new life. You want superheroes to protect you, and make yourselves ever more powerless in the process.
Overall, you can look as much or as little as you want into this film. It's certainly fun, but not hilarious. It's a solid family film and easy to watch, but nothing 'incredible'.

This Will Make You Smarter: New Scientific Concepts to Improve Your Thinking by John Brockman
Brockman poses a question every year and this year it was which idea people would be better off with if they mastered. The result is well worth the read
The Mediocrity Principle
The mediocrity principle simply states that you aren't special. The universe does not revolve around you; this planet isn't privileged in any unique way; your country is not the product of divine destiny; your existence isn't the product of directed, intentional fate. Most of what happens is just a consequence of natural, universal laws – laws that apply everywhere and to everything, with no special exemptions or amplifications for your benefit…We look for general principles that apply to the universe as a whole first, and those explain much of the story; and then we look for the quirks and exceptions that led to the details. It's a strategy that succeeds and is useful in gaining a deeper knowledge.
Double-Blind Control Experiment (Richard Dawkins)
We would learn not to generalize from anecdotes
We would learn how to assess the likelihood that apparently important effects might have happened by chance alone
We would learn how extremely difficult it is to eliminate subjective bias, and that subjective bias does not imply dishonesty or venality of any kind. This lesson goes deeper. It has the salutary effect of undermining respect for authority and respect for personal opinion
We would learn not to be seduced by homeopaths and other quacks and charlatans, who would consequently be put out of business
We would learn critical and skeptical habits of thought more generally, which not only would improve our cognitive toolkit but might save the world
The core of a scientific lifestyle is to change your mind when faced with information that disagrees with your views, avoiding intellectual inertia, reflecting the past rather than shaping the future.
It involves setting up an imagined piece of apparatus and running a simple experiment with it in your mind, for the purpose of proving or disproving a hypothesis. In many cases, a thought experiment is the only approach. An actual experiment to examine retrieval of information falling into a black hole cannot be carried out.
Nexus Causality
For many things, it is more accurate to represent outcomes as caused by an understanding, or nexus, of factors
Most of us have a good reputation with ourselves. Accepting more responsibility for success than for failure, for good deeds than for bad
Bias is the nose for the story
Bias, in the form of expectation, inclination, and anticipatory hunches, helped load the dice in our favor and for that reason is hardwired into our thinking. Bias is an intuition – a sensitivity, a receptiveness – that acts as a lens on all our perceptions
Control your spotlight
Willpower is inherently weak and children who tried to postpone their treat – gritting their teeth in the face of temptation – soon lost the battle, often within thirty seconds. Instead, Mischel discovered something interesting when he studied the tiny percentage of kids who could successfully wait for the second treat. Without exception, these "high delayers" all relied on the same mental strategy: they found a way to keep themselves from thinking about the treat, directing their gaze away from the yummy marshmallows. This is the skill of "strategic allocation of attention," and Mischel argues that it's the skill underlying self-control. Too often, we assume that willpower is about having strong moral fiber. But that's wrong. Willpower is really about properly directing the spotlight of attention, learning how to control that short list of thoughts in working memory. It's about realizing that if we're thinking about the marshmallow, we're going to eat it, which is why we need to look away.
The focusing illusion
Income is an important determinant in people's satisfaction with their lives, but it is less important than most people think. If everyone had the same income, the differences among people in life satisfaction could be less than 5%
Uncertainty is a central component of what makes science successful. Being able to quantify uncertainty and incorporate it into models is what makes science quantitative rather than qualitative. Indeed, no number, no measurement, no observable in science is exact. Quoting numbers without attaching an uncertainty to them implies that they have, in essence, no meaning
When you're facing in the wrong direction, progress means walking backward. History suggests that our worldview undergoes disruptive change not so much when science adds new concepts to our cognitive toolkit as when it takes away old ones.
Too often in science we operate under the principle that "to name it is to tame it," or so we think. One of the easiest mistakes, even among working scientists is to believe that labeling something has somehow or other added to an explanation or an understanding of it. The normal fallacy is the error of believing that the label carries explanatory information. Stuart Firestein
Living is fatal
Probabilities are numbers whose values reflect how likely different events are to take place. People are bad at assessing probabilities. They are bad at it not just because they are bad at addition and multiplication. Rather, people are bad at probability on a deep, intuitive level: they overestimate the probability of rare but shocking events – a burglary breaking into your bedroom while you're asleep, say, Conversely, they underestimate the probability of common but quiet and insidious events – the slow accretion of globules of fat on the walls of an artery, or another ton of carbon dioxide pumped into the atmosphere.
This blind spot in our collective consciousness – the inability to deal with probability – may seem insignificant, but it has dire practical consequences. We are afraid of the wrong things, and we are making bad decisions.
Truth is a model
Bugs are features – violations of expectations are opportunities to refine them. And decisions are made by evaluating what works better, not by invoking received wisdom.
abies who keep babbling turn into scientists who formulate and test theories for a living. But it doesn't require professional training to make mental models – we're born with those skills. What's needed is not displacing them with certainty of absolute truths that inhibit the exploration of ideas. Making sense of anything means making models that can predict outcomes and accommodate observations. Truth is a model
Failure liberates success
Often the only way to improve a complex system is to probe its limits by forcing it to fail in various ways
Holism
The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Perhaps the most impressive is that carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorous, iron, and a few other elements, mixed in just the right way, yield life. And life has emergent properties not presenting or predictable from these constituent parts. There is a kind of awesome synergy between the parts. Nicholas Christakis
There ain't no such thing as a free lunch
The universality of the fact ta you can't get something for nothing has found application in sciences as diverse s physics (laws of thermodynamics) and economics.
Shifting baseline syndrome
Each generation of fisheries scientists accepts as a baseline the stock and size and species composition that occurred at the beginning of their careers and uses this to evaluate changes. When the next generation starts its career, the stocks have further declined, but it is the stocks at the time that serve as a new baseline. The result is obviously a shift in the baseline, a gradual accommodation of the creeping disappearance of resources species
A shift, for the better or worse
Positive-Sum Games
A zero-sum game is an interaction in which one party's gain equals the other party's loss – the sum of their gains and losses is zero. Sports matches are quintessential examples of zero-sum games: winning isn't everything, it's the only thing, and nice guys finish last. A nonzero-sum game is an interaction in which some combinations of actions provide a net gain (positive sum) or loss (negative sum) to the two participants. The trading of surpluses, as when herders and farmers exchange wool and milk for grain and fruit, is a quintessential example, as is the trading of favors, as when people take turns baby-sitting each other's children. In a zero-sum game, a rational actor seeking the greatest gain for himself or herself will necessarily be seeking the maximum loss for the other actor. In a positive-sum game, a rational self-interested actor may benefit the other actor with the same choice that benefits himself or herself. More colloquially, positive-sum games are called win-win situations and are captured in the cliché "everybody wins."
Structured Serendipity
Two techniques seem very promising: varying what you learn and varying where you learn it. I try each week to read a scientific paper in a field new to me – and to read it in a different place. New associations often leap out of the air at me this way…In my view, we should each invest a few hours a week in reading research that ostensibly has nothing to do with our day jobs, in a setting that has nothing in common with our regular workspaces
Randomness is so difficult to grasp because it works against our pattern-finding instincts. It tells us that sometimes there is no pattern to be found. As a result, randomness is a fundamental limit to our intuition; it says that there are processes we can't predict fully
The First Law of Randomness: There is such a thing as randomness. Random events can mimic nonrandom ones
The Second Law of Randomness: Some events are impossible to predict
The Third Law of Randomness: Random events behave predictably in aggregate even if they're not predictable individually. The larger the number of events, the more predictable they become. The law of larger numbers is a mathematical theorem that dictates that repeated, independent random events converge with pinpoint accuracy upon a predictable average behavior
Cognitive Load
The amount of information entering our consciousness at any instant is referred to as our cognitive load. When our cognitive load exceeds the capacity of our working memory, our intellectual abilities take a hit. Information zips into and out of our mind so quickly that we never gain a good mental grip on it. The information vanishes before we've had an opportunity to transfer it into our long-term memory and weave it into our knowledge.
To curate
"To curate" is finding ever wider application because of a feature of modern life impossible to ignore: the incredible proliferation of ideas, information, images, disciplinary knowledge, and material products we all witness today. Such proliferation makes the activities of filtering, enabling, synthesizing, framing, and remembering more and more important as basic navigational tools for 21st century life. These are the tasks of the curator, who is no longer understood simply as the person who fills a space with objects but also as the person who brings different cultural spheres into contact, invents new display features, and makes junctions that allow unexpected encounters and results. – Hans Ulrich Obrist, This Will Make You Smarter
The senses and the multisensory
What we call "Taste" is one of the most fascinating case studies for how inaccurate our view of our senses is: it is not produced by the tongue alone but is always an amalgam of taste, touch, and smell, touch contributes to sauces tasting creamy and other foods tasting chewy, crisp, or stale. Flavor perception is the result of multisensory integration of gustatory, olfactory, and oral somatosensory information into a single experience whose components we are unable to distinguish. In sensory perception, multisensory integration is the rule, not the exception
Other surprising collaborations among the sense are due to cross-model effects, whereby stimulation of one sense boosts activity in another. Looking at someone lips across a crowded room can improve our ability to hear what they are saying, and the smell of vanilla can make a liquid we sip "taste"
Think bottom up, not top down
One of the most general shorthand abstractions that, if adopted, would improve the cognitive toolkit of humanity is to think bottom up, not top down. Almost everything important that happens in both nature and society happens from the bottom-up, not top down. Water is a bottom-up, self-organized emergent property of hydrogen and oxygen. Life is a bottom-up, self-organized emergent property of organic molecules that coalesced into protein chains through nothing more than the input of energy into the system of Earth's early environment. The complex eukaryotic cells of which we are made are themselves the product of much simpler prokaryotic cells that merged together from the bottom up, in a process of symbiosis that happens naturally when genomes are merged between two organisms. Evolution itself is a bottom-up process or organisms just trying to make a living and get their genes into the next generation; out of that simple process emerges the diverse array of complex life we see today. Most people, however, see the world from the top down instead of the bottom up. The reason is that our brains evolved to find design in the world, and our experience with designed objects is that they have a designer (us), whom we consider to be intelligent. So, most people intuitively sense that anything in nature that looks designed must be so from the top down, not the bottom up. Bottom-up reasoning is counterintuitive. This is why so many people believe that life was designed and that countries should be ruled from the top down
For the past 500 years, humanity has gradually but ineluctably transitioned from top-down to bottom-up systems, for the simple reason that both information and people want to be free
Scaling Laws
Scaling Laws are found throughout nature. Galileo in 1638 pointed out that large animals have disproportionately thicker leg bones than small animals to support the weight of the animal. The heavier animal, the stouter their legs need to be. This leads to a prediction that the thickness of the leg bone should scale with 3/2 power of the length of the bone
Constraint satisfaction
A constraint is a condition that must be taken into account when solving a problem or making a decision, and "constraint satisfaction" is the process of meeting the relevant constraints. The key idea is that often there are only a few ways to satisfy a full set of constraints simultaneously
In general, the more constraints, the fewer the possible ways of satisfying them simultaneously. And this is especially the case when there are many "strong" constraints' strong constraint is like the positioning of the end tables: there are very few ways to satisfy it. In constant, a "weak" constraint such as the location of the headboard, can be satisfied in many ways. Constraint satisfaction is pervasive in part because it does not "require" perfect solutions. It's up to you to decide what the most important constraints are and just how many of the constraints in general must be satisfied (and how well). Moreover, constraint satisfaction need not be linear: you can appreciate the entire set of constraints at the same time, throwing them into your mental stewpot and letting them simmer. And this process need not be conscious. "Mulling it over" seems to consist of engaging in all-but-unconscious constraints satisfaction. Finally, much creativity emerges from constraint satisfaction. Many new recipes have been created when chefs discovered that only certain ingredients were available – and they thus were either forced to substitute those missing or come up with anew dish. Creativity can also emerge when you decide to change, exclude, or add a constraint. Einstein had one of his major breakthroughs when he realized that time need not pass at a constant rate. Perhaps paradoxically, adding constraints can actually enhance creativity – if a task is too open or unstructured, it may be so unconstrained that it's difficult to devise any solution.
Keystone consumers
The term "keystone species," inspired by the purple sea star, refers to a species that has a disproportionate effect relative to its abundance. Similarly, it is possible for a small minority of humans to precipitate the disappearance of an entire species
Cumulative error
Humor seems to be the brain's way of motivating itself – through pleasure – to notice disparities and cleavages in its sense of the world. In the telephone game, we find glee in the violation of expectation; what we think should be fixed turns out to be fluid
Scale analysis
Nonlinearity is a hallmark of the real world. It occurs any time that outputs of a system cannot be expressed in terms of a sum of inputs, each multiplied by a simple constant – a rare occurrence in the grand scheme of things. Unpredictable variability, tipping points, sudden changes in behavior, hysteresis – all are frequent symptoms of a nonlinear world. One of the most robust bridges between the linear and the non-linear, the simple and the complex, is scale analysis, the dimensional analysis of physical systems. It is throughs scale analysis that we can often make sense of complex nonlinear phenomena in terms of simpler models. At its core reside two questions. The first asks what quantities matter most to the problem at hand (which tends to be less obvious than one would like). The second asks what the expected magnitude and – importantly – dimensions of such quantities are. This second question is particularly important, as it captures the simple yet fundamental point that physical behavior should be invariant to the units we use to measure quantities.
Of course, anytime a complicated system is translated to a simpler one, information is lost. Scale analysis is a tool only as insightful as the person using it. By itself, it does not provide answers and is no substitute for deeper analysis. But it offers a powerful lens through which to view reality and to understand "the order of things"
The idea that we can systematically understand certain aspects of the world and make predictions based on what we've learned, while appreciating and categorizing the extent and limitations of what we know, plays a big role in how we think
The expanding in-group
The phenomenon of hybrid vigor in offspring, which is also called heterozygote advantage, derives from a cross between dissimilar parents. It is well established experimentally, and the benefits of mingling disparate gene pools are seen not only in improved physical but also improved mental development. Intermarriage therefore promises cognitive benefits
Life is a self-replicating hierarchy of levels
The Pareto Principle
Also known as the 80/20 rule, Zipf's law, the power-law distribution, winner-take-all, but the basic shape of the underlying distribution is always the same: the richest or busiest or most connected participants in a system will account for much, much more wealth or activity than average. Furthermore, the pattern is recursive. Within the top 20 of a system that exhibits a Pareto distribution, the top 20% of that slice will also account for disproportionately more of whatever is being measured, and so on.
The top 1% of the population controls 35% of the wealth
The recursive 80/20 weighting means that the averages far from the middle. This in turn means that in such systems most people are below average, a pattern encapsulated in the old economics joke, "Bill Gates walks into a bar and makes everybody a millionaire, on average."
We are lost in thought
We must recognize thoughts as thoughts, as transient appearances in consciousness – is a primary source of human suffering and confusion
The concept of cause-and-effect is better understood as the flow of information between two connected events, from the earlier event to the later one. If you can master the technique of visualizing all information flow and keeping track of your priors, then the full power of the scientific method – and more – is yours to wild from your personal cognitive toolkit.
Negative capability
Being able to exist with lucidity and calm amid uncertainty, mystery, and doubt, without "irritable reaching after fact and reason"
Systemic equilibrium
The second law of thermodynamics states that, over time, a closed system will become more homogenous, eventually reaching systemic equilibrium. It is not a question of whether a system will reach equilibrium; it is only a question of when a system will reach equilibrium. Living on a single planet, we are all participants in a single physical system that has only one direction – toward systemic equilibrium. This goes for food, water, intellectual resources, and more
Recursive structure
Recursive structure is a simple idea with surprising applications beyond science. A structure is recursive if the shape of the whole recurs in the shape of the parts: for example, a circle formed f welded links that are circles themselves. Each circular link might itself be made of smaller circles, and in principle you could have an unbounded nest of circles made of circles made of circles. Some parts of nature show recursive structure of a sort: a typical coastline shows the same shape or pattern whether you look from six inches away or sixty feet or six miles
The recurrence of this phenomenon in art and nature underlines an important aspect of the human sense of beauty.
Human achievement is entirely a networking phenomenon. It is by putting brains together through the division of labor – through trade and specialization – that human society stumbled upon a way to raise the living standards, carrying capacity, technological virtuosity, and knowledge base of the species. By sharing and combining the results through exchange, people become capable of doing things they do not even understand
The base rate
Whenever a statistician wants to predict the likelihood of some event based on the available evidence, there are two main sources of information that have to be taken into account: the evidence itself, for which a reliability figure has to be calculated; and the likelihood of the event calculated purely in terms of relative incidence. The second figure is the base rate
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence
Path dependence
The fact that often something that seems normal or inevitable today began with a choice that made sense at a particular time in the past but survived despite the eclipse of its justification, because, once it had been established, external factors discouraged going into reverse to try other alternatives. The paradigm example is the seemingly illogical arrangement of letters on typewriter keyboard. Why not just have the letters in alphabetical order, or arrange them so that the most frequently occurring ones are under the strongest fingers? In fact, the first typewriter tended to jam when typed on too quickly, so its inventor deliberately concocted an arrangement that put "A" under the ungainly little finger.
We now increasingly view life as a profoundly complex web like system with information running in all directions, and instead of a single hierarchy we see an infinity of nested and codependent hierarchies – and the complexity of all this is, in and of itself, creative. We no longer need the idea of superior intelligence outside the system; the dense field of intersecting intelligences is fertile enough to account for all the incredible beauty of "creation."
Paradoxes arise when one or more convincing truths contradict each other, clash with other convincing truths, or violate unshakeable intuitions. They are frustrating, yet beguiling. Many see virtue in avoiding, glossing over, or dismissing them. Instead we should seek them out. If we find one, sharpen it, push it into the extreme, and hope that the resolution will reveal itself, for with that resolution will invariably come a dose of Truth.
Nature appears to contradict itself with the utmost rarity, and so a paradox can be an opportunity for us to lay bare our cherished assumptions and discover which of them we must let go. But a good paradox can take us further, to reveal that not just the assumptions but the very modes of thinking we used in creating the paradox must be replaced. Particles and waves? Not truth, just convenient models. The same number of integers as perfect squares of integers? Not crazy, though you might be, if you invent cardinality. The list goes on.

Losses occur only if all controls fail and the holes in the Swiss cheese align
Black swan technologies
With a black swan technology shot, you need not be constrained by the limits of the current infrastructure, projections, or market. You simply change the assumptions
Entanglement is spooky action at a distance. In quantum physics, two particles are entangled when a change in one particle is immediately associated with a change in the other particle. Here comes the spooky part; we can separate our "entangled buddies" as far as we can, and they will remain entangled. A change in one is instantly reflected in the other, even though they are physical far apart!
Time span of discretion
Half a century ago, while advising a UK Metals company, Elliott Jaques had a deep and controversial insight. He noticed that workers at different levels of the company had very different time horizons. Line workers focused on tasks that could be completed in a single shift, whereas managers devoted their energies to tasks requiring six months or more to complete. Meanwhile, their CEO was pursuing goals realizable only over the span of several years
He who thinks longest wins
The Einstellung Effect
We constantly experience it when trying to solve a problem by pursuing solutions that have worked for us in the past, instead of evaluating and addressing the new problem on its own terms. Thus, whereas we may eventually solve the problem, we may be wasting an opportunity to do so in a more rapid, effective, and resourceful manner.
Phase and Scale Transitions
Phase transition is a change of state in a physical system, such as liquid to gas. The concept has since been applied in a variety of academic circles to describe other types of transformation, from social (think hunter-gatherer to farmer) or statistical (think abrupt changes inn algorithm performance as parameters change) but has not yet emerged as part of the common lexicon. One interesting aspect of the phase transition is that it describes a shift to a state seemingly unrelated to the previous one and hence provides a model for phenomena that challenge our intuition. With knowledge of water only as a liquid, who would have imagined a conversion to gas with the application of heat?
Scale transitions are unexpected outcomes resulting from increases in scale. For example, increases in the number of people interacting gin a system can produce unforeseen outcomes: the operation of markets at large scales is often counterintuitive. Think of the restrictive effect that rent-control laws can have on the supply of affordable rental housing, or how minimum-wage jobs can reduce the availability of low-wage jobs
Statistically significant
This means that the results are unlikely to be due by chance, the results themselves may or may not be important
An amazing compilation of important ideas which would make us all better thinkers if we studied and implemented them

Snow business
Season a "wild ride" for plowing, snow removal companies
While companies that handle snow cleanup are reaping the financial benefits of working overtime, the long hours have been taking their toll, too.
Accurate Landscaping and Plowing in Manchester does commercial snow removal, including plowing, loader work, bobcat work and salting services, owner Preston Ezzideen said. They also subcontract out work such as roof raking.
"From a financial standpoint, it's been a blessing for anyone who works in snow. From a stress and quality of life [standpoint], a lot of our employees have hit their breaking point. You [as an employer] become more of a coach at that point to get them through the next storm," Ezzideen said.
He said there was a three-week stretch when workers were only getting about three hours of sleep a night. Finding time to service equipment when it started breaking down was difficult too, with so little time between storms.
"I felt, personally, this winter has been more stressful than when I was doing tours in Afghanistan," said Ezzideen, a former Marine. "Any roofer, any snow removal provider is making money in two months that their business would make in seven to eight months. I said to someone, if I could buy sleep right now, I'd be broke. It was quite the wild ride."
Concord General Services Director Chip Chesley called the snow a "two-edged sword." The crews that maintain the City of Concord's roads were at one point working 30 hours of overtime. It made for a nice paycheck, but the schedule was tough.
"It's hard for anybody to sustain working that many hours on a regular basis," Chesley said.
Overtime is limited to responding to a storm, Chesley said, and to the seven or eight times the downtown area is shut down at night for snow removal. There is no overtime for plowing sidewalks and doing general snow removal.
"We're pressing our budgets. We're doing everything we can to moderate our budget, and we are hoping spring will arrive soon," he said.
Jeff Lavigne, co-owner of Giant Landscaping in Manchester, said his company performs full landscaping, maintenance and snow plowing for commercial clients, such as big box stores.
Lavigne said this year has been different from past years, in that there are two types of contracts — seasonal and per storm. In the past the split has been 60/40 respectively, but this year it has been 25/75.
In January, Lavigne said they were "sweating bullets," wondering if it was going to snow, and then once the snow started it was one big storm after another. "Relentless," he called it.
"It'll be a fantastic year. I [just] wish we had the snow over three months, not over six weeks," Lavigne said.
Trash Can Willy's Junk Removal Service in Manchester is in its first year of doing snow plowing and snow removal, and while the winter has been challenging, the money is good.
"Overall the snow will be a big impact on our bottom line. We will have definitely made more money because of [all] the snow," said Steven Heimsath of Trash Can Willy's. "Obviously with the amount of snow that came down, we were extremely busy. The frequency could have been a little less."
The extreme cold, coupled with the amount of snow, has made the company's first year doing snow removal challenging. One plow burned to the ground in a customer's driveway to kickoff the season, while another had issues with its hydraulics due to the extreme cold. On a third plow, the fuel lines kept freezing because they were continuously compressed against deep snow, Heimsath said. The second half of the season, it was servicing all of its accounts with one plow.
"That was pretty hard to do," Heimsath said. "We made money, but it was really earned. We earned every dollar we made this winter."

ENQA is a partner in two new projects that will support the implementation of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) reforms, funded under the Erasmus+ programme. These projects are "Developing a European Approach for Comprehensive QA of (European) University Networks" (EUniQ) and "Effective involvement of stakeholders in external quality assurance activities" (ESQA).
The EUniQ project supports quality assurance agencies in addressing evolving methodological challenges, including the development of cross-border higher education, the policy integration of university networks, the expanding offers of international joint programmes, and the establishment of European Universities. It intends to provide a roadmap for QA agencies to jointly develop quality assurance methodologies, from an analysis of the needs to a developed quality assurance approach.
The ESQA project aims to support stakeholders' involvement in external quality assurance. The project will explore various categories of stakeholder engagement and expectations stakeholders have towards external quality assurance with the aim to make this engagement effective and diversified.


Looking for an adrenaline rush? View some of San Luis Obispo County's most beautiful landscapes as you soar above it all on an exhilarating zip line experience.
The Margarita Adventures zip line tour will take you through the historic Santa Margarita Ranch in the Paso Robles wine country, soaring over vineyards, valleys and mountains. You will travel across six distinct zip lines spanning more than 7,500 combined feet. Beginning with a 1,200-foot valley crossing and finishing up with a new 1,800-foot zip line soaring over a vineyard, you are bound to be screaming by the end. The Double Barrel is the newest addition to Margarita Adventures, featuring a tandem 2,800-foot zip line.
This 2.5-hour tour will also teach you about the ranch's sustainable winegrowing and its diverse plant and wildlife habitats. After the rush, you may want to wind down and visit the tasting room of the affiliated Ancient Peaks Winery, specializing in artisan wines grown right on the ranch. You can book a Zip 'n Sip tour, allowing you to taste wine from the vines you soared over.
If you're looking for something more high speed and adventurous, Vista Lago Adventure Park is where you want to be. This park is far from an ordinary zip line experience with a side-by-side adventure and zip line park.
You can choose your challenge with an upper and lower course that vary in degree of difficulty. Feel the rush on all three zip lines totaling over 1,800 feet, including two high speed zip lines that end on Vista Lago Point with a 40-foot free fall jump. Vista Lago Adventure Park is located at Lopez Lake, just 20 minutes from San Luis Obispo.


A useful exercise in modeling economic time series is to perform a "sliding window" analysis of the data that computes models in subsets of the data and tests for the robustness of signal extractions, forecasts, and parameter variance relative to a growing subset of the data. For instance, for a time series of length 300, one could estimate a model on a shorter subset of the data, say for the first 200 observations, and then increase the amount of observations, re-estimate, and then see how the model parameter values change as the number of observations or data subset increases. One can also see how the signal extractions and forecasts change with additional data. Ideally, if the model is specified correctly for the data, there should be a very small variance in the estimated parameters as more data is added to the time series. It signifies the stability of the model selection. Normally, such an exercise would be tedious to carry out with X-13ARIMA-SEATS, or any other software such as MATLAB or R as scripts or spec files would have to be written for each individual re-estimation and then re-plotted. In the uSimX13 module of iMetrica however, this task has been rendered an easy one with the addition of a sliding windows tool. In this blog entry, we describe this so-called "sliding windows" process and show just how fast and seamless it is to perform model choice robustness and comparisons in iMetrica.
We begin by describing the sliding span/window tool in the iMetrica-uSimX13 module. Once time series data has been loaded into the uSimX13 module from either the uSimX13 main menu or imported from the Data Control module, the uSimX13 computation engine must first be turned on from the uSimX13 menu. Then to access the sliding windows interface, simply click on the "Sliding Span/Window Activate" check box in the main uSimX13 menu (see Figure 1).
Figure 1. Main drop down menu for the uSimX13 module, showing the "Sliding Span/Window Activate" check box.
Once clicked, the entire plotting canvas will turn to a dark shade of blue, which indicates the windowed region in which model estimation occurs. To control the sliding window, place the mouse cursor along one of the edges of the canvas and slowly glide the mouse with the left-mouse button held down either left or right, depending on which edge of the plot canvas you are on. Moving to the left or right with the left mouse button held down, the windowed area will shrink or expand. The model parameters are estimated instantaneously as the window adjusts and in effect, all the available model statistics, diagnostics, signals, and forecasts are computed as well. For example, as the window expands or shrinks, the trend, seasonally adjusted data, and 24-step ahead forecasts can be plotted and viewed in real-time as the window changes (see Figure 2). One can also slide the window to the left or right by placing the mouse anywhere inside the blue-windowed region, holding down the left mouse button and moving along the time domain. This way, the window length will remain fixed, but the window center will move along different subsets of the data. This can be useful for seeing how model parameters can change within regions of data that exhibit regime changes, namely a sequence in the series that suddenly changes in seasonal or cyclical structure after a certain time observation. The data can now be modeled in both sections before and after the regime change occurs in order to compare the estimated parameter values.
Figure 2. The window sliding across different subsets of the data. The signal extractions, forecast, and model parameters are recomputed automatically as the window changes. Forecast comparisons with the real data as the window span moves is now trivial. Here, the plot in cyan represents the original time series data in-sample and the 24 step forecast out-of-sample, and the light green plot is the time series data adjusted for outliers, as indicated in the model box. One can select the plots using the "series components" plot box. The data in gray represents the time series data not used in the model estimation.
With the ability to seamlessly capture partitions of the data and model within the given partition using the sliding window, a natural extension of this mouse-on-canvas utility is to employ it somehow in comparing different models of the time series data. We call this method of model comparison time series data sweeping (or simply data sweeping) and it involves selecting an initial window of data from the first observation to the -th observation where n is some number much less than the total number of observations $latex N$ in the data set (say, one third the amount). The data sweep then computes the sliding window from as the final observation all the way to , in increments of one (see Figure 3). At each addition to the length of the window, the forecast is computed for up to 24 steps ahead. Of course, since the true time series data is known in the out-of-sample region of computation, we can compute the forecast error for up to steps ahead and sum up these errors as increases to . We can do this data sweep for several models, computing the aggregate forecast errors over time. The idea is that the best model for the data will ideally have the smallest forecast error, and thus comparing this forecast error with several models will identify the model with the best overall forecasting ability.
To access the data sweep, simply go to the main uSimX13 menu, shown in Figure 1, and click "Sweep Time Series Control Panel". This will bring up the main interface for the data sweep (shown in Figures 4-6). To begin the sweep, first select the model and regressors desired to model the data with inside the model selection panel of the main uSimX13 interface. Then choose at which observation you'd like to carry out the data sweep (starting at observation is the default). Lastly, select how many forecast steps you'd like to use in computing the forecast error (1-24). Once content with the settings, click the "Compute time series sweep" button and watch as the window span increases from to , recomputing parameters, signals, and forecasts at each step (see slideshow at top of post). Once the sweep is complete, the parameter statistics, Ljung-Box mean value at two different lags, and the total forecast error is displayed in the control panel. To compare this with another model, save the results of the sweep by clicking "save parameters" in the uSimX13 menu, and then choose another model and recompute (while using the same settings as the previous sweep, of course).
To give an example of this process, we begin by simulating a time series data set of length from a SARIMA model of dimension , namely a seasonal auto-regressive integrated moving-average process with two non-seasonal moving-average parameters, and one seasonal moving average parameter. The data sweep is performed on the simulated data with a forecast error horizon of length 23 using three different SARIMA models, (a) , (b) , (c) , the true model. See Figures 4-6 below to see the data sweep results and the estimated parameter mean and standard deviation, the average Ljung-Box statistics at lag 12 and 0, and the forecast errors for each model. Notice the forecast error for the true model (c) (figure 6) is the lowest followed by model (b) (figure 6) and then (a) (figure 4), which is exactly what we would want.

Fashion show promotes women's dignity, modesty
By: Jacob Watson
JACOB WATSON
Women's Ministry hosted a fashion show for the first time in three years as its grand finale to the semester April 5 in the Gentile Gallery.
A branch of Franciscan's Office of Evangelization, Women's Ministry hosted a fashion show themed "Living in the Truth," featuring modest models with talks throughout about the spiritual life, as well as how to dress beautifully and modestly.
Women's Ministry coordinates various campus activities like painting nights, rock climbing, holy hours and talks. The ministry also works with events like the yearly BeLoved Event and the Capture My Heart retreat, both seeking to help women have a loving encounter with Jesus Christ.

Sister Anna Rose Ciarrone, adviser to the students leaders of Women's Ministry, said she looked forward to the fashion show as another way to empower the women on campus. Designing the fashion show to be both practical and spiritual, Ciarrone aimed to help women understand both the elements of fashion and their identities as women.
Ciarrone said she hoped to show how women are designed to be by God. The beautiful thing is to "not just tell people what to do or what to wear," said Ciarrone, but to deepen their sense of human dignity. Ciarrone expected much work would be needed for the fashion show. However, she was optimistic about the fruit of the event.
Alyssa Snyder, the student leader of Women's Ministry, was also optimistic about the fashion show. Snyder said Women's Ministry started planning the fashion show in prayer during a retreat in August 2016. The ministry wanted to focus on the question "What lies do we believe about ourselves?"
During the fashion show, Snyder emphasized the balance between the outside—body image and fashion—and the interior—personal holiness. Reminding the women in attendance of their identity in Christ, Snyder said, "The clothing that we wear speaks a language. You are beautiful. You are a child of God."
During the fashion show, Snyder used Sister Anna Rose Ciarrone as an example of fashion and virtue. Snyder said that "clothing does speak something about who you are." Snyder showed that Ciarrone's habit and veil reveals Ciarrone's purpose. Snyder reminded the audience that this is true not only for religious but also laity. Snyder emphasized the talk's motto "Living in the Truth."
Focusing on the practical aspect of clothing, Snyder and Sister Anna Rose discussed different types of clothing and body types. This started with the models individually walking or dancing down the runway. Unlike some secular fashion shows, after each woman walked up to the stage, Rose and Snyder said some facts about the model. They introduced who each woman was as a person in herself. After the personal introduction, they discussed why the model wore what she did, teaching through the model's example.
Using the models as examples, Sister Anna Rose and Snyder discussed the five different body types. For each body type, they showed at least one woman going down the runway. They showed what type of clothes should be worn where on which body type, showing a video clip of Clinton Kelly, co-host of TLC's hit TV show "What Not to Wear."
Snyder recommended trying out one's daily outfit in one's room. Reminding the audience that women most often wear dressy clothes to church events, Snyder told them to try genuflecting, profoundly bowing, sitting and walking up stairs. If anything does not feel right, Snyder said, find something else. Snyder encouraged the women to only wear an outfit that is functional, flattering and one that you love.
Towards the end of the event, Snyder criticized the fashion industry for its incorrect perception of the ideal woman. Snyder reminded the audience that the fashion industry cares about money, not them. Snyder said to the women in the audience, "It's not your fault if you don't fit the lies that the fashion industry is trying to sell you."
Both Ciarrone and Snyder, as well as those involved with the show itself, were optimistic with the reaction of the audience.
"(I) hope the people were edified," said Sister Anna Rose.
Snyder was immediately struck by how happy the women were. Most importantly, Snyder said she wanted the women to know that "you are worth it."
Madigan Maere, senior, said she liked the fashion show for "helping out other women fit their bodies." Especially as a model in the show, Maere said she appreciated the fruits of the show, since it involved much formation.
Madison Bolesta, a senior and one of the models, appreciated learning about the differences in women and womanhood. In the end, Bolesta said, "Everyone seems so joyful."

Q: How to call data setState to in react render return? I can call data in console.log(this.state.eventUser); render return and its showing all of the data in eventUser. But when I try to call console.log(this.state.eventUser._id); its showing error of this Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property '_id' of undefined. How can I solve this issue?
    componentDidMount(){
        Tracker.autorun(() => {
            Meteor.subscribe('allUsers');
            const userId = this.props.location.state.event.userID;
            const eventUser = Meteor.users.findOne({_id: userId});
            this.setState({ eventUser });
        });
    }

    render(){
        return(

                {console.log(this.state.eventUser._id)}

        );
    }

A: You can't use console.log inside JSX without enclosing in {}
Try below code
render(){
    return(

            {put javascript here}

    );
}

Edit:
Your code is executing query on Database which is asynchronous
So you need to wait for it to complete.
Below is an implementation of async/await (es7+ features of javascript)
Try below code
 componentDidMount(){
            Tracker.autorun(async () => {
                Meteor.subscribe('allUsers');
                const userId = this.props.location.state.event.userID;
                const eventUser = await Meteor.users.findOne({_id: userId});
                this.setState({ eventUser });
            });
        }

A: Probably at some point this.state.eventUser in the render is undefined.
Try this
{this.state.eventUser && console.log(this.state.eventUser._id)

A: It looks like by the time your render() function runs, the user hasn't yet be saved to the component state.
To fix this, add a constructor to your component in which you define the eventUser as an empty object.
class MyClass extends Component {

  constructor(props) {
    super(props);

    this.state {
      eventUser: {}
    };
  }

  componentDidMount() {
    Tracker.autorun(() => {
        Meteor.subscribe('allUsers');
        const userId = this.props.location.state.event.userID;
        const eventUser = Meteor.users.findOne({_id: userId});
        this.setState({ eventUser });
    });
  }

  render(){
    console.log(this.state.eventUser._id)
    return(

My Test Page

    );
  }
}

Hope that helps!

A: componentDidMount will fire after the component has already been mounted (as the name states). At the point where it reaches the enclosed statement the state has not been set yet.
I'm not sure why you are using a console.log inside of your render return, but if you are looking to actually display the user ID, conditional rendering is your friend: {this.state.eventUser && this.state.eventUser._id}

A: For the first time when your component will render, if you have knowledge about react lifecycle hooks, after constructor the render method will be triggered then componentDidMount hook.
so for the first render the eventUser is undefined then after componentDidMount the state will be fulfilled.
So solution is:

*

*First don't put console.log in JSX, it is better to put it before return.

*Second first check if the object is defined then return your data

Code:
render(){
       const { eventUser } = this.state;

        // if eventUser is defined then log it
        {eventUser && console.log(eventUser._id)}

        // or you can add very simple load state
       if(!eventUser) return
Loading....

    return(

            {probably info about user }

    );
}
