It's a rare person among us who doesn't feel the need to get more organized. I consider myself fairly organized, for example, but there are times when I get a little lax about my organizational rules, and there's always room for improvement.
And if you're already organized (read: you're an organizational freak), chances are, you like to read about others' organizational systems.
As such, there should be something for everyone on this list.
A couple of weeks ago, I asked all of you for your best organizational tips and tools. And you responded in force, with some great stuff. What follows are some of the best of the tips (tools will be in another post), edited for brevity and consistency.
I must emphasize: these are not my tips, but yours, and when you see the word "I" it refers to the reader writing the tip, not me. Names have been removed to protect the innocent.
3 Most Important Tasks. Writing down and making mental note of my top 3 tasks to get done for the day. Everything else seems to fall into place if I do that.
An easy and workable task list, or to do list. While I love all of these handy web 2.0 apps, computer software, very neat gadgets like palms and really cool cell phones, they just don't work for me. I'm a lazy woman, with an even lazier attitude. I might put a task in Remember the Milk, another task in my palm, one in my Gcal and send another text to my phone. With all of these different ways of doing things, I end up spending much more time trying to organize my to do list, or consolidate it, that I don't get much actually done.
Keep ubiquitous capture device. It might not be the same device for every location (I have a moleskine for work, but use my mobile for inspiration on the fly) but just being able to write stuff down when you think about it is key for me.
Choose one tool and stick with it.
Make use of the word no.
Use the recycling bin/trash basket. Organizing unnecessary items is wasted energy. It is amazing how much more in control I feel just by ridding myself of now outdated articles I'd like to read "someday," or countless meeting notes from which relevant action items have already been extracted.
A (good) place for everything, and everything in its place. By finding places that are easy to get to for all the things I use most often, and places that are pretty easy to get to for the things I use less often, I spend less time dreading doing things and more time actually doing things. And the place for things you never use is elsewhere (trash can, place that accepts donations, etc.).
Put it away now. The single, simplest thing I do to stay personally organized is to put whatever tool, item, clothing, bag, hairbrush etc., away immediately after using it. I always know where everything and anything is so I never waste time looking for something. Very efficient. I could tell a stranger where to find anything in my home.
Keep a to-do list that syncs with your mobile phone (so you can add stuff as and when you remember it). And make sure every item has a due date.
Change. It obsoletes unimportant things. It brings down any method or idea that isn't timeless. It brings up newer and more important things that you and others can't resist anymore. Best of all: it's an organizing tool that operates itself. You simply have to embrace it.
Divide material into red, yellow, blue and green plastic file folders. For example, anything that has to be done today (paperwork to be given to a client, bills to be mailed) go in the red folder. Contact material or anything related to customer field support goes in the yellow folder. Your mileage may vary as to how you organize your briefcase, and like me you may also have project-specific manilla file folders as well, but dividing stuff up into just four color coded folders is a huge help.
Flylady.net. She helped me realize that I needed to apply GTD principles to my home life and not just work. I had work under control using checklists, projects and next actions. I tried the same system at home and failed. Then about a month ago I discovered flylady.net courtesy I believe one of your blog posts. Wow, what a difference. My house is clean and so is my desk at work. Many if not most of her basic ideas are just like GTD in a slightly different perspective (control journal, baby steps) and also concrete methods for accomplishing next actions (2 minute hot spots, 15 minute timers). Her most useful tip was to put my daily/weekly lists into shiny page protectors in my control journal. I use a dry erase marker and voila no more killing trees or not doing my list because I can't print it (or want to avoid the hassle). The best thing about this, I am more relaxed, my blood pressure is finally dropping and I feel less stressed.
Unapologetically take control of your time and priorities.
Sort at the source. My favorite organizational tool is my post office box. I visit it once a week (usually Saturday), stand at the counter in the lobby and sort my mail. I use the P.O.'s trash bin. What comes into my house is only what I need to have. Bills and letters and checks go into my inbox (which by the way is a box with a lid that is wrapped in lovely fabric and has a yellow bow on it so it looks like a present sitting on my desk). Reading material goes on the table by my chaise lounge which is where I do all my reading.
A sheet of paper, a calendar and a white board. I've found that the easiest way to organize myself, my days and so forth is a good paper calendar, a sheet of paper that I divide into four sections and a medium sized white board. For my paper the top left section is my actual running to do list for today. The top right section is my running grocery list, or list of things I must purchase. The bottom left is for notes such as calls I made, who I spoke to, appointment dates. The bottom right is whatever I need to move to another day. If I'm told to call back on Monday, then I note that on the calendar. As for the white board, the kids can make notes (Can I spend the night at Brian's on Friday? Grandma called), and I can jot down things as I think of them to be added to tomorrow's to do list. My calendar, and the white board are in the same location, so I can transfer short notes if need be. I carry my paper task list with me everywhere, so I can make notes at any given moment.
Color coding. I'm a visual person, and I find that color-coding my various lists and calendars minimizes the time I have to spend looking at them. This worked especially well when I was in school: I dumped every class syllabus into Outlook, and then color-coded every class period (blue for paper due, yellow for quiz, red for test, etc). It took awhile to set up, sure, but then for the rest of the semester I only had to glance at Outlook to get a very clear idea of what kind of week I was going to have.
@ Fitness - Which tracks my workout routine for the day. My binder is with me all the time and it has helped me become a better employee, family member and relationship guy.
Write down, execute and tidy up on the way. These are is my organization bible. I've been living that way since more than two years and I can say that I'm an organized person.
A little whiteboard on my bedroom wall. I have it separated into two sections, a "todo" and a "today". "Todo" is a list of general things I have to do, like get my car inspected, buy someone a present, etc. Then "today" is what I need to do, obviously, today! Things can be moved back and forth as appropriate. I find having a specific list for today helps push me to get the important things done in a timely manner. I also keep two things permanently on the "today" part, which are meditation and exercise. This seems to help.
Note cards. One can write tasks on them — one per card, or in a list (depending on the type of task in question; I do both). When doing one per card, the stack serves as an easy prioritization scheme. But wait, there's more: They can be arranged on cork boards, shared, annotated, torn up and rearranged. They can be used as placeholders, as mini-white boards and as tokens to model ideas. They are easy to carry around, and to attach to other documents. Further, different colors allow for a visual representation of different kinds of todo's (as can different annotations). Finally, they are cheap and most importantly of all: easy (much easier than software) to reconfigure as needs and projects change.
Never rely on a single point of failure. I've seen people pay $1,000 to hear speakers at a conference and only have one pen to take notes. It's a great feeling when one thing breaks, gets lost, or runs out of power, and you have another one in reserve!
Delegate. Learn to trust people with critical tasks in all areas of your life. When you learn to effectively delegate tasks you actually find that it is easier to keep the stuff you cannot delegate better organized.
You control your life. Whatever electronics or paper you use, make them work for YOU not the other way around. Does Outlook really have to stay checking your email every 5 minutes? Maybe, but I bet you'll get a whole lot more done if you check it a few times per day. That goes for the Blackberry too! After all, there are so many tools, and one to fit everyone - so use what works, but make it work for you!

Number 1,019, May 5, 2019
Twentieth century—the hangover years.
I think it will take all of the
21st to recover from the 20th.
The Letter of the Law
I begin this essay as all such essays ought to begin, by reminding readers that the AR-15 and other weapons like it are precisely the "arms" that the Founding Fathers intended us to retain the right to "keep and bear". These military guns are, indeed, "weapons of war"—the perpetual war to preserve freedom. The left wing hates it and denies it, but it's true.
The Founders' idea was that ordinary folks like you and me should be armed just as well as the military (technically, outlawing or taxing fully-automatic weapons is an infringement of the sort they wanted to avoid), so that a tyrannical government, should it arise under a would-be dictator like, say, an Alexandria Occasionally-Crazy, an Eric "Nuke" Swallowell, or a Stacy "I'm the Governor, so there, nyahh" Abrams might be overthrown. The enemies of individual liberty in today's Congress, state legislatures, other bodies, and the media understand this perfectly well, which is why they clamor incessantly to have their intended victims disarmed.
I'll add that any compulsory registration of weapons or demand that potential purchasers humbly beg for government permission to purchase (or privately trade) guns defeats the whole purpose of the Second Amendment—exactly as it is intended to do by corrupt and cowardly politicians, bureaucrats, and police officers who mistakenly believe they own us.
Also, as the Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, who planned the attack on Pearl Harbor, pointed out, when his colleagues were contemplating a military invasion of the United States, that sort of thing becomes impossible when there's "a rifleman behind every blade of grass."
America is being invaded right now, and there are places where riflemen are desperately needed, if only as a deterrent. The arrest, recently, of a militia leader at the southern border (especially considering that the Congress, the malfeasant Governor of New Mexico, and the federal government in general are doing fuck-all to prevent the blatant violation of our boundaries) goes directly against the Constitution, and is therefore illegal.
Political sub-creatures like Diane Feinstein, Nancy Pelosi, and Charles Ellis Schumer (he wants you to call him "Chuck") have made entire careers of this kind of illegality, clearly violating the oath they took to "uphold and defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic." They're the enemies domestic. Since that Constitution includes the Second Amendment, guaranteeing the right to own and carry weapons, their attempts to circumvent or destroy that right are criminal acts, for which they must be arrested, tried, convicted, and as severely punished as any other traitor. At the very least, having done what they always intended to do, even before taking the oath, they are guilty of perjury.
What's the penalty for that?
Yes, it's true that the Constitution protects members of Congress, to a limited extent, from arrest and prosecution while they are in office, but that specifically excludes an arrest for treason, breach of the peace, or a felony—all of which any attempt to pass and enforce gun control ( more accurately known as victim disarmament) laws clearly involves. And have they truly, lawfully, been in office if it can be proven that they intended to violate their oath from the beginning? How about the criminal failure even to take the oath that was said to be stylish during certain previous left-wing administrations? I can't tell you who they are, but their middle names are William Blythe Jefferson Clinton, and Barack Hussein Obama.
The following is long and a little complicated, but it is probably the solution to regaining the liberties we were promised as children, and I implore you to read it carefully—preferably slowly and out loud. Several times. Commit it to memory if you can. The enemies of liberty are hoping that you will not.
"Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or to different punishments, pains, or penalties, on account of such person being an alien, or by reason of his color, or race, than are prescribed for the punishment of citizens, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if bodily injury results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include the use, attempted use, or threatened use of a dangerous weapon, explosives, or fire, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death."
This statute is Title 18 of the U.S. Code, Section 242, making it the second highest law of the land, after the Bill of Rights. Section 241, which is usually mentioned in the same breath, makes it a crime to conspire with others to commit the same acts. The "whoever" it mentions are the criminals in Congress, the members of state legislatures, of county commissions, of city councils, and of police forces of all kinds who would violate your rights "under color of law", that is, by passing and enforcing legislation they all know perfectly well to be unconstitutional, null and void at the very moment it was written. My only question is, who the hell do I turn them all in to?
Believe me, I mean to find out.
It may be fairly pointed out that I am not a lawyer, so what the hell do I know? I would counter that these laws—especially the first ten amendments to the Constitution—are mostly written in beautifully plain English and were not penned for lawyers or judges to interpret away. They were written for us, for you and me, the people of the United States of America, by a bunch of guys like Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, who really knew how to twirl a quill. They are our property and not that of slinkers in the political and judicial baseboards.
After considering this situation for several decades, I have come to the conclusion that every single individual ever deprived of his or her rights under these laws should constitute a separate "count" and that the gun-grabbing loonies among us should be sentenced to millions of years in prison and billions of dollars in fines. As I once put it: "Hillary Behind Bars".
"What prison?", I pretend to hear you ask. For many years I have insisted that Alcatraz Island is too good to waste on tourists, tree-hugging flower children, or protesting Naive Americans. It was once the most formidable lock-up in the federal system, housing the worst villains Franklin Roosevelt's Administration ever managed to spawn. And it could be once again, perhaps even better—or worse, depending on your point of view.
Click on over, if you haven't already, to
https://ncc-1776.org/tle2019/tle1018-20190428-02.html
to see what I mean, In a chapter to come of Rosalie's World, my latest novel (it will be my fortieth), which I call "Pelican Shadows" I describe what a modern Alcatraz would look like and how it would operate, through the eyes of a former inmate who served a twenty-five year term there. It was a great deal of fun to write. As a chronicler of the future (who predicted, among other things, the Internet, computer-aided forensics, the popularity of .40 caliber weapons, and the collapse of the Soviet Union ten years before it happened), that's my job.
She may seem familiar.

What Obama wants and what Congress will give him
How the president's vision fits with what Congress is likely to do.
Rebecca Kaplan and Stacy Kaper,
By Rebecca Kaplan and Stacy Kaper,
President Obama offered a passionate defense of a progressive agenda in his inaugural address Monday, laying out the legislative priorities for the next four years that will likely be echoed in his State of the Union address next month. That includes unfinished business from his first term, such as immigration (which has a future in Congress) and climate change (which doesn't). There was a pledge to protect the rights of gay citizens to marry (which may be decided by the Supreme Court) and to reduce the waiting time to vote (which may be decided by the states).
The people who hold the key to the president's vision are the members of Congress with whom he will have to work. Here's a look at how they might respond to his legislative proposals:
Climate change and sustainable energy: "We will respond to the threat of climate change, knowing that the failure to do so would betray our children and future generations," Obama said, rehashing failed pieces of his first-term agenda. "Some may still deny the overwhelming judgment of science, but none can avoid the devastating impact of raging fires, and crippling drought, and more powerful storms," he added. Obama tried to push a sweeping cap-and-trade climate bill through Congress in his first term, but it died in the Senate in 2010. Since then, cap-and-trade has become politically toxic and is considered dead on arrival in Congress. The only way Obama could take action would be by using his executive authority to roll out controversial environmental regulations that would cut carbon pollution from existing coal plants. But that would generate massive push-back from industry and Environmental Protection Agency critics on Capitol Hill. At least Obama acknowledged that the path to sustainable energy "will be long and sometimes difficult."
Immigration reform: The president has made no secret of the fact that he is going to make comprehensive immigration reform a top priority of his second term. There is some bipartisan support, especially in the Senate, for legislation, but several sticking points remain. Lawmakers disagree on whether there should be a path to citizenship or merely legal status for illegal immigrants, and whether it should be presented as a comprehensive bill or several smaller pieces of legislation. And for immigration reform to pass in the House, Speaker John Boehner might have to violate the Hastert rule and bring legislation to the floor without the majority backing of his conference. Obama voiced support for one specific policy, arguing that immigration reform would be incomplete "until bright young students and engineers are enlisted in our workforce rather than expelled from our country." Easing the path to citizenship for high-skilled workers enjoys broad bipartisan support in the House and Senate, but will get caught up in the debate about the size of legislation.
Equal pay for women: "For our journey is not complete until our wives, our mothers, and daughters can earn a living equal to their efforts," Obama said Monday. In 2009 Obama signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Restoration Act, and with so much else on the agenda now, it's hard to imagine the president expending much more energy on this issue in the next four years, let alone Congress. To wit, Republicans last year blocked the Paycheck Fairness Act, which would have beefed up protections for women in the workplace. The law has long been considered problematic in the business community because it would open employers up to lawsuits for situations that may not be well defined, like the definition of "fair pay."
Voting reform: Obama said that the country's "journey" would not be complete "until no citizen is forced to wait for hours to exercise the right to vote." It's also a pledge he made during his acceptance speech on election night, telling the voters who waited in long lines that "we have to fix that." But the president is largely powerless to invoke change on this issue because the nitty-gritty of the voting process is the jurisdiction of state and local governments. Although some Democrats, including Sens. Barbara Boxer of California and Chris Coons of Delaware, introduced legislation to address long wait times, those efforts are likely to be blocked by a generation of Republicans elected on the promise to protect the 10th Amendment and states' rights.
Gay rights: Obama said that his work would not be complete "until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law -- for if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well." The administration will go head-to-head with Congress this year on the issue of gay marriage. Nearly two years ago, Obama ordered the Justice Department to stop defending the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act. Boehner announced shortly thereafter that the House of Representatives would take up defense of the law. A lawsuit, United States v. Windsor, has made its way to the Supreme Court, which has scheduled arguments for March. An affirmation of the administration's position could pave the way for Obama to move more aggressively on gay marriage, which he now supports. If the courts do not back up his decision to no longer defend DOMA, he is unlikely to get sufficient support from Congress to repeal the law. Any further efforts to boost workplace protections for gays and lesbians in discrimination statutes have been blocked in Congress so far.
Unspoken agenda: The irony is that Obama spent more time talking about issues he will have a hard time moving the needle on than the issues sitting on his near-term agenda. Among them, several more rounds of fiscal battles that threaten to crowd out Obama's second-term agenda won only passing reference. Obama said, "We must make the hard choices to reduce the cost of health care and the size of our deficit" before defending Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid as commitments that strengthen the country. He offered perhaps one hint the he could be more likely to cut Medicare than insurance subsidies when he said, "we reject the belief that America must choose between caring for the generation that built this country and investing in the generation that will build its future."
Also absent from Obama's remarks was any mention of guns, although he did say that Americans' won't be complete until all children, including those from Newtown, know they are cared for. Education and investments in infrastructure similarly got short shrift, and health reform received no explicit shout-out even though its implementation is likely to be among the most significant changes that occur during his second term.
One word that could dominate the first 100 days of Obama's second term was not even mentioned once: debt.

A Diplomatic Chewbacca Weighs in on 'Star Wars: Episode VII'
11/16/2012 12:49 pm ET Updated Dec 06, 2017
Back in the day, I would gargle soda and entertain friends with my Chewbacca impersonation. It was juvenile, but I nailed it every time. Having said that, the following news below makes me giddy like a school girl (not literally -- I am a grown man -- dammit!) Anyway, read on...
Last week, we heard Han Solo himself -- Harrison Ford -- might be open to reprising the character in the forthcoming Star Wars: Episode VII. Now in an exclusive interview with yours truly, Solo's tag-team partner Chewbacca, himself, is itching to make a comeback as well.
Aside from a cameo in Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, Peter Mayhew has spent over two decades working the fanboy convention circuit. Now that Disney has purchased LucasFilms and a new trilogy is coming, it should come as no surprise that the man behind the 200-year-old Wookiee is eager to return to his Star Wars roots. Below is an interview with the humble fuzzball who deserves to ride again!
Did the Disney puchase of LucasFilms catch you off-guard?
Only in the timing. We expected it next year, but with George retired, it was a good move to hand the reins to Disney. They are very capable of taking our beloved Star Wars into the future.
Did you think you'd live to see a day Episodes VII, VIII and IX would happen? Are you excited?
Stuart Freeborn, who made the original Chewbacca costume, told me from the beginning that there would be nine movies. I expected, as George's retirement became a reality, that the task would fall to future generations to make those movies become a reality. The official word the last few years has been to move forward with a live-action TV series, but there were technology and budget concerns. I am very excited to see what Disney will do with the story and how they will do it. Star Wars is forever, and I am proud to be a part of it.
Have you spoken with any cast members recently -- what's the pulse of the Star Wars universe?
My wife and I have been busy around the home place, so we haven't spoken in depth yet with cast members. As to the pulse of the Star Wars universe, yes, we do know about that. The fans very much want to remain fans, and I think that Disney will respect the fandom aspect of Star Wars. I have participated in Star Wars Weekends with Disney from the beginning, and they know how to put on a show. I think the basics will remain the same, maybe better.
Where do you think Chewbacca might fit in all of this?
In my universe, he will be there fighting the empire all the way. I hope the powers that be feel the same.
Harrison Ford recently said he may not be opposed to reprising Han Solo -- if he doesn't, do you think there's enough room to keep Chewie going?
Of course I do. Chewie and Yoda go way back...
This is true. The prequels get a raw deal. What's your take on them?
The prequels were made for a new generation of Star Wars fans, and I know that they are loved and appreciated by younglings everywhere.
Lastly, I just have to know... has anyone approached you from LucasFilms about reprising the character?
No, but I hope they will. Wookiees, and particularly Chewbacca, are base characters when telling the story of Star Wars. It's important that Chewie remains a part of the story. Everybody loves Chewbacca. I'm sure of it.
You can catch up with Peter Mayhew through his website: www.chewbacca.com.

Q: Advice on k fold cross validation I am currently carrying out a cross validation method with support vector machine classification of dicom images using the code:
    #Cross Validation using k-folds
    clf = svm.SVC(kernel='linear')
    scores = cross_validation.cross_val_score(clf,X,Y,cv=16))
    print scores
    print("Accuracy: %0.2f (+/- %0.2f)" % (scores.mean(),scores.std()*2))

As you can see, I am currently using 16 folds, how would I find out the best amount of folds to use? Is it a case of more is better?
Also, I have found that whilst using cross validation, my accuracy scores vary massively from 66% to 100% which usually give a mean accuracy of 82% - 85%. Is there any advice on how I could improve this and perhaps ensure the classifier is picking equal amount of images from each class?
Sorry, I'm very new to Python!
Thank you for any advice!

A: try using GridSearchCV. for example i can create a pipeline such as
pipeline = Pipeline([

    ('clf', LogisticRegression())
    ])

    parameters = {

        'clf__C': (0.1, 1, 10, 20, 30)
    }

so, here i am providing 5 different options for the C parameter of my LogisticRegression() classifier which is denoted by clf in my pipeline
of course, instead of LogisticRegression() you can use SVC. then
grid_search = GridSearchCV(pipeline, parameters, n_jobs=3, verbose=1, scoring='accuracy')

then just something like
bestParameters = grid_search.best_estimator_.get_params()
    for param_name in sorted(parameters.keys()):
        print ('\t %s: %r' % (param_name, bestParameters[param_name]))

will give you the best set of options to specify

Lifting and fastening of steel objects, machine parts or components for machining. Do not require a power source.
Magswitch lifting magnets are suitable for lifting or fastening steel products. They enable the lifting, handling or turning of products without the need to use force for fastening. Magswitch is a patented technology where the magnets mutually rotate. This enables turning the magnetic force on and off. They can be used in many applications due to the high attractive force and absence of residual magnetic field after the magnet is switched off.
When lifting loads with the use of a magnet, it is important to consider the safety factor, which is dependent on risk assessment. If it is impossible for people to be injured by a falling load, safety factor 2 is sufficient. Otherwise, it is recommended to use safety factor 3. We will assist you with choosing a suitable type after evaluating your needs. Read our article in the related documents section.

This is not magic. This is the way the world is, only very few people take the time to stop and note it.
Erin Morgenstern, The Night Circus
The night that seemed endless hours before is now slipping from your fingers, ticking by as it falls into the past and pushes you toward the future.
I have seen a great many things that I might once have considered impossible, or unbelievable. I find I no longer have clearly defined parameters for such matters. I choose to do my work to the best of my own abilities, and leave others to their own.
"The circus arrives without warning."
If I were starting a Rosicrucian group …
… it would probably look a lot like the Hermetic Library Fellowship Program, or, rather, what that would be if more fully developed toward what I hope that project will become. And, I've been meaning to write more about my ideas and aspirations for the Fellowship Program, so I just might actually do this, even if it's only in theory for the most part.
Recently, you may have noticed, Jeffrey Kupperman, of Journal of the Western Mystery Tradition, posted a series: "If I were to form a Rosicrucian Order …", "Why I'm not Starting a Rosicrucian Order" and finally, even after he posted the image of a lamen suspiciously like something for such a thing, "I Did Not Start a Rosicrucian Society". Likely inspired by this Anthony Silvia, of Gnosis NYC and the Talk Gnosis podcast, posted "I Am Not Forming an Open Source Order of Martinists …".
Here's my sense: Rosicrucianism as described in the source material is simply a group of people bonded together by a brief code to be of service to humanity and to develop and preserve certain esoteric knowledge. All of the oft associated structural and dogmatic cruft is either imported from the wider Western Esoteric Tradition during the 17th Century's Rosicrucian Enlightenment, or accreted during the Victorian and Edwardian period of development by Freemasonry of the Rose Croix degree within Scottish Rite and SRIA/Golden Dawn style syncretic Hermeticism. The literary Rosicrucians of the Fama and Confessio are really quite simply organized without much of anything by way of necessary dogma.
Anyway, the whole highly-structured fraternal and/or teaching order thing has been done and done and occasionally "stick a fork in it" and, even, sometimes "can we bury it now because it is starting to smell." Many still exist, so why start another one just like something already done? If you want to get involved in one of these, let me commend you to a few excellent organizations, about which I can personally vouch more or less, OTO [also], A∴A∴ [also], Golden Dawn [also, and] … and so on, YMMV. Keep your wits about you and do your own research.
Instead, I would focus on starting from the barest and most minimal interpretation sufficient and necessary. I would be inspired primarily by what the Fama and Confessio say about the Brotherhood of the Rosy Cross, and some few later developments such as Joséphin Péladan's Salon de la Rose-Croix; and, some few indirect inspirations like Benjamin Franklin's Junto [also], Utne's Salons: The Joy of Conversation, my own dialogical work, and so forth. However, for me, the temptation to develop complicated and convoluted structures is strong and therefore something to strongly avoid.
Although I am trying to adhere closely to the simplicity demonstrated by the model of the literary evidence, I am clearly going to eject certain elements. For example, no one will need be German, a Crusader, or even Christian. Nor need one be directly connected to some lineage, order or other organization. Members will also not be required to conform to some such period customs like drinking warm, non-carbonated German beer from tankards made from lead-laced pewter.
If I were to start a Rosicrucian group … it would be a bit of salon, communitarian and egalitarian, for students and scholars, and very likely organized in support of the mission of the Hermetic Library. The group would occasionally meet in person, but connect frequently via modern communication tools and perhaps a private forum. Like a Junto, the group would be dedicated to inquiry and self-improvement; with members providing a weekly summary of some interesting developments to share with the group as well as offering longer form presentations quarterly. I imagine a small group of people, each dedicated to some particular theory and practice. Each would have a personal practice of some kind and they would be engaged in some project to present esoteric thought in service to the larger community, and I imagine that these presentations would be done through Open Access [also] repositories of articles collected in sub-sites for each fellow at the library and also made available via the blog and journal.
There would be no initiations or other accouterments of the Victorian esoteric or pseudo-masonic orders, but there could be shared rituals. I have in mind here the observation made by Ronald Hutton in The Triumph of the Moon: A History of Modern Pagan Witchcraft that without unifying dogma it is the shared rituals that maintain the neopagan community. There may be some shared rituals or practices to help group cohesion, synchronic and diachronic links between members and the collective, including some expressed when apart and some when gathered.
Membership in the group could follow this idea somewhat like the master and apprentice relationship between Jedi and Sith, including the idea that the apprentice only takes the place of the master upon that person's death, though hopefully without the Sith's Rule of Two custom of fragging! Within the literature, generation two doubles membership size to generation three, so there is a suggestion that at some time the ranks of the group could be allowed to double, or at least that is something to consider if it ever comes up that members have found a number of suitable potential members to justify growth. Or, instead of setting a rule about this, the group could simply welcome new fellows as they are welcomed to the library site, while helping that process with suggestions and outreach.
In spite of the rule about not being constrained to wear any particular habit, it'd be nice to have some kind of way to identify each other when necessary. Even if that were something similar to and as simple as the shock of red against one's fashion adopted by Rêveurs, described in Erin Morgenstern's The Night Circus. But, perhaps this would be a choice made in the moments when necessary, such as prior to any meeting.
The organizing principles of the literary Brotherhood of the Rosy Cross are enumerated in just six explicit rules, though there are within the literature other obvious organizing principles, such as that of each member maintaining and developing volumes within the order's Philosophical Library. This last I would interpret as members participating in both theory and praxis around topics that suit them and their interests, and that they are involved in the preservation and presentation of that information; clearly suited to the overall mission of the Hermetic Library.
Translating the core six rules from the literature, I would propose the following for this new group:
1. That none of them should profess any other thing than to be a student and researcher, and to be involved in making their studies available in accord with the principles of Open Access;
2. None of them should be constrained to wear one certain kind of habit, but therein to follow their own custom and that of their country;
3. That every year, or some reasonable interval, the group should hold some gathering, to meet in person;
4. Members should cultivate relationships with other students and researchers who might be suitable for membership in the group if such openings become available, but in any case, who may interested in participating in the various projects at the library.
5. There should be some identifying insignia or symbol to represent the group, and members should make known their involvement in the group.
6. The group would maintain the privacy of members and their details, in accordance with the general principle of not revealing anything about another that they have not themselves made public; including personal details and details about their studies and research.
At this point, one might wonder what makes this specifically Rosicrucian, as opposed to simply a group of people engaged in and organized around esoteric study. To this I would simply elaborate that the group is inspired by the principles of human perfectibility through esoteric study and practice along the lines of the Rosy Cross formula of the Great Work, about which plenty more could be said. However, I think this notion is one that might need to be expressed explicitly for the group to be Rosicrucian. Although, it could also be left unexpressed, and the group could simply be inspired by the model provided by the literary Rosicrucians and this could instead simply be the Hermetic Library Fellowship Program more fully developed, much as the Invisible College and the Royal Society were inspired but not fully constrained by the notion of a network Rosicrucians.
Benjamin Franklin details his Junto project in his autobiography writing:
"I … form'd most of my ingenious acquaintance into a club of mutual improvement, which we called the Junto; we met on Friday evenings. The rules that I drew up required that every member, in his turn, should produce one or more queries on any point of Morals, Politics, or Natural Philosophy, to be discuss'd by the company; and once in three months produce and read an essay of his own writing, on any subject he pleased.
Our debates were to be under the direction of a president, and to be conducted in the sincere spirit of inquiry after truth, without fondness for dispute or desire of victory; and to prevent warmth, all expressions of positiveness in opinions, or direct contradiction, were after some time made contraband, and prohibited under small pecuniary penalties." [via]
With this in mind, I would like to have a group of core people who are actively presenting information of interest not only to themselves, but also to the audience of the library. This means helping to develop content for the site, and related social media.
I also imagine that a group I formed would follow a few of the membership principles set out by Franklin for his Junto, in the form of some questions to which they might answer in particular ways:
1. Have you any particular disrespect to any present members? Answer. I have not.
2. Do you sincerely declare that you are dedicated to the Great Work in service to humanity? Answer. I do.
3. Do you think any person ought to be harmed in his body, name, or goods, for mere speculative opinions, or his external way of worship? Answer. No.
4. Do you support the Hermetic Library and will you endeavor support its mission yourself, and share information about and via the library to others? Answer. Yes.
The group might also generate a series of ongoing questions to guide their inquiries, and make those part of the set of customs for the group.
Inspired by Joséphin Péladan's Salon de la Rose + Croix, ignoring for the most part his overall Mystic Order of the Rose + Croix movement, I would personally would enjoy this more if there were effort to promote esoteric arts and culture, and, like the original, developing actual Salon de la Rose + Croix events could be part of the praxis of the group.
Obviously, this is something that I try to do with the various participatory pools at the library (such as the audio, visual, video and arts and letters pools) as well as within the Anthology Project through the Hermetic Library Albums and Hermetic Library Journal. And, to no small extent, this is one of the motivations behind the idea of a Hermetic Library Reading Room, as it exists in my imagination and also on the library blog.
So, maybe I'm starting to import my other existing projects into this idea, which can and perhaps should remain separate.
T Polyphilus has the personal practice of writing something about each book he reads, as he says, "on the principle that if I have nothing to say about something, I can hardly justify the effort to read it in the first place." I could imagine that it might be good for members of the group to also take up this practice, and that these reviews, like those by T Polyphilus, would be made available via the blog.
I recognize that there may be need for more structure to function, and I'd propose that the group keep track of the set of organizing principles, the necessary and sufficient structures, and also a set of customs, the agreed upon additional behaviours. Generally, for this discussion about organizing principles and customs I'm going to use terminology imported from Peter Suber's Nomic. At the core, I would would begin at Nomic rule zero, that all participants must agree to the rules. Organizing principles would be Nomic immuntable rules. Customs would be Nomic mutable rules. The organizing principles and customs would all be subject to self-ammendment, but always subject to the necessary and sufficient cohesion of rule zero. I also propose an even more primary rule, which I'll call rule i (imaginary unit), which represents the simple observation that all rules have a scope of real effect, beyond which they are meaningless, in other words rules which attempt to legislate delusions or absurdities are self-evidently meaningless and without need to attempt they be enforced. I see this last as a guard against the group trying to legislate overreach beyond its own self-governance.
Recognizing that so far I've talked about this idea being tied closely to the library, there's two alternate directions one might take in modifying the idea: more or less meta. For a less meta alternative, the group might simply be something like a "Friends of the Library" organization; but it would seem a bit presumptuous of me to start my own friends group, and it might be a bit duplicative of the options I already provide for people to show support for the library in a variety of ways. A more meta alternative direction would be to understand that all the specific references to the Hermetic Library and related projects are my particular projects, but that a group could be formed for mutual support and improvement between like-minded site owners who have projects of their own, sites and blogs; a kind of association of project owners. This last reminds me of the point that there appears to be no particular organization or association around esoteric venues, an example of one such is my speculative Reading Room; but that there may be a lot of sense in having some way for people doing similar things, running or planning such venues, to communicate, share and support each other.
I'm sure there's plenty more that could be written about this, but as a final note I think I'll mention that one thought that has occurred to me is that others might create similar organizations as what I imagine. I've always had in mind that the work I do to post on the various social media platforms and so forth is really about trying to encourage people to engage with the materials on the site. So, I could imagine that there might be groups of people who form themselves around their own research and study related to the library. I can also imagine that groups like this might offer information about what they've been up to on some regular basis, such as monthly, and I might then post about these presentations and research so that they are available to others as well.
Obviously, there's no real reason why groups of students would necessarily organize around the library and participate in this idea in particular, but, it's a thought that came to me in a kind of daydream.

The Phantomwise Tarot
I ran into some images of the Phantomwise Tarot and thought how it reminded me of The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. Well, turns out there's a reason, because the deck is by the author.
"The Phantomwise Tarot is a 78-card tarot deck, painted entirely in black and white acrylic. While drawing inspiration from the Rider Waite style, it has a variety of influences ranging from Egyptian mythology and Victoriana to carnival/circus chic and of course, the works of Lewis Carroll."
The site for this says that the deck will be completed in 2009, but is it? Also, the limited edition cards that were available through Adam McLean's Alchemy Website are sold out. Also, the etsy shop is on hiatus. Good news or bad news?
Update 2011dec6 @ 8:19pm
So, there's a post by Erin Morgenstern back in May on her site about the status of the deck.
"I do not have a publisher for the complete deck yet.
It is on my ever-growing to-do list and I promise I do intend to get the deck published because I want it to be available for the tarot-loving masses, but I also wrote a book and it sort of ate my life. (If you happen to be a tarot publisher and are interested in publishing the deck, please feel free to contact me.)
The tarot aficionados will likely appreciate this aspect of my current life balance issues: in the summer of 2009, just before I started querying literary agents, I had a wonderful professional tarot reading and the only negative element was in art/writing balance, where The Tower showed up to remind me that I cannot give all of my energy to different things without falling down. Something had to take priority, and the universe clearly and loudly decided it would be writing.
My apologies for the continued wait, but I want to give the deck the time and energy it deserves, including possibly touching up some of the paintings, so it's going to take a while. Thank you for your patience." [via]
Update 2011dec12 @ 3:33pm
There was a specific question about this tarot deck in a recent interview with Erin Morgenstern over at GoodReads:
"GR: Goodreads member Brandi asks, 'Does she plan to reprint her Phantomwise black-and-white tarot card deck?'
EM: It is on the to-do list. Fortunately there are a lot of things on the to-do list. There was a limited edition, but there's never been a 72-card deck. I do have the art for it; I just haven't made the time to pursue proper publication of it. But there will be in the foreseeable future a published deck that people can get." [via]

Movie Review: 'WELCOME TO ME' – A Daring Yet Uneven Dark Comedy
Preston Barta // Features Editor
WELCOME TO ME | 105 min | Rated PG-13
Director: Shira Piven
Stars: Kristen Wiig, James Marsden, Linda Cardellini, Wes Bentley, Joan Cusack, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Thomas Mann, Alan Tudyk and Tim Robbins
WELCOME TO ME is a dark toned comedy where Kristen Wiig plays Alice Klieg, a woman with Borderline Personality Disorder who goes off her psychiatric meds, wins the lottery and buys her own talk show.
This is a neat enough premise to warrant your attention, and the cast is strong enough to pull you in; however, it's a film that ultimately leaves you on the fence. You feel unsure because it so often makes you feel dirty, uncomfortable and annoyed. Sure, there have been great movies that have left you feeling a little strange and weird, such as last year's FRANK, but there are no rewards here.
Tonally, this film is all over the place. There will be these great, grounded moments that work within the world of the film, such as Klieg exorcising her personal demons and re-enacting moments from her past. It's really quite a fascinating exploration. But then, those moments will be shoveled aside by these rather absurd and ridiculous moments that throw this story in a tail-spin, including how quickly she spends her money (making it seem more like a scene out of BRIDESMAIDS) and how she ditches her clothes to walk completely naked through a casino (a scene that comes from out of nowhere and functions like a shortcut to "serious acting").

Despite how uneven this film is, I have to commend Wiig for taking on such a challenging role that is both emotionally and physically daring. After exiting SNL and taking on big projects such as BRIDESMAIDS, she could have made an easy cash-grab by making other movies just like it, but she didn't do that. She chased different and complex roles, with films like THE SKELETON TWINS, A GIRL MOST LIKELY and HATESHIP LOVESHIP. Yeah, sometimes the movies around her performance don't always stick (much like this one), but you can't help but admire how bold she is, especially here.
WELCOME TO ME showcases strong performances in a narrative that needs more tightening and understanding of what kind of film it is. It will often offer riveting insight into the idea that "television makes us all narcissists," but it loses grip on its ideas and doesn't really say much in the end.
WELCOME TO ME is playing in select theaters today.

Movie Review: 'FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD' – A Pensive Adaptation of the Classic Story
ColCoa Film Festival
COLCOA REVIEW – 'IN THE NAME OF MY DAUGHTER (L'HOMME QU'ON AIMAIT TROP)'


English: from the personal name Adey, a medieval pet form of Adam.
Where is the Adey family from?
You can see how Adey families moved over time by selecting different census years. The Adey family name was found in the USA, the UK, Canada, and Scotland between 1840 and 1920. The most Adey families were found in the UK in 1891. In 1911 there were 5 Adey families living in Quebec. This was about 38% of all the recorded Adey's in Canada. Quebec had the highest population of Adey families in 1911.
Use census records and voter lists to see where families with the Adey surname lived. Within census records, you can often find information like name of household members, ages, birthplaces, residences, and occupations.
What did your Adey ancestors do for a living?
In 1881, the most common Adey occupation in Canada was Farmer. 50% of Adey's were Farmers. Farmer and Ship Carpenter were the top 2 reported jobs worked by Adey.
Census records can tell you a lot of little known facts about your Adey ancestors, such as occupation. Occupation can tell you about your ancestor's social and economic status.
What Adey family records will you find?
There are 3,000 census records available for the last name Adey. Like a window into their day-to-day life, Adey census records can tell you where and how your ancestors worked, their level of education, veteran status, and more.
There are 642 immigration records available for the last name Adey. Passenger lists are your ticket to knowing when your ancestors arrived in Canada, and how they made the journey - from the ship name to ports of arrival and departure.
There are 1,000 military records available for the last name Adey. For the veterans among your Adey ancestors, military collections provide insights into where and when they served, and even physical descriptions.
You've only scratched the surface of Adey family history.
What is the average Adey lifespan?
Between 1956 and 2004, in the United States, Adey life expectancy was at its lowest point in 1956, and highest in 1992. The average life expectancy for Adey in 1956 was 47, and 77 in 2004.
An unusually short lifespan might indicate that your Adey ancestors lived in harsh conditions. A short lifespan might also indicate health problems that were once prevalent in your family. The SSDI is a searchable database of more than 70 million names. You can find birthdates, death dates, addresses and more.


ACE has been doing my electrical stuff for 10 years or so. Why take a chance with a strange company.
Recommendation from daughter. Punctuality, good service & communication.

Great Service, 5 out of 5!


Colombian Congress members approved the human rights section of a free trade deal with Canada, and the agreement will now be considered by the Constitutional Court.
Members of Congress approved a section of the treaty which specifies that both countries must produce annual reports on how the deal is impacting on human rights. This was the only section pending between the two countries from the pact, written in 2008.
The treaty provides measures providing for labor and environmental cooperation between the two countries and is expected to come into effect early next year. The agreement will provide Colombian exporters with a market of nearly 34 million people.
Sectors that stand to gain from the treaty include products from the agricultural sector including cocoa, chocolate, fats, oils, meat, auto parts, and clothing.
The government hopes the treaty will not only benefit the mining and oil sector, but also other areas of production. The two countries have been considering the treaty since 2007. The agreement had previously been stalled due to criticism in Canada over Colombia's human rights record.


Fresh, clean body shampoo loved equally by men and women. Each squeeze of the non-breakable plastic bottle releases the crisp, citrus scent of L'OCCITANE verbena.
Use daily in the shower, and follow with verbena Body Lotion. To increase the effect of the Citrus fragrance use some of the Verbena Eau de Toilette.
L'Occitane's Verbena line is great. The shower gel smells great, is light, really works up a lather and gets you clean.
L'Occitane's Verbena line is great. The shower gel smells great, is light, really works up a lather, a little goes a long way and it gets you very clean and smelling good.
A really MUST have Shower Product !!!.Excellent Quality very moisturizing, little goes a long way. Highly recommend.
I'm obsessed! This shower gel leaves you feeling so clean, but so light and airy. This gentle citrus scent feels like a cool summer breeze. I just love it.


Hi everyone, we're professional photographers (also do drone photography) and we've begun a personal project of photographing abandoned sites in Aberdeenshire. We live very near Haddo House, Forgue which we have been to several times. I have been searching the internet for some time for other sites for us to visit in the Aberdeen / Aberdeenshire area but am not finding much or anything mentioned was a few years ago so I doubt are still abandoned by now. I know about the Kingseat Hospital at Newmachar but its now boarded up really well so thats a no go. Also heard about Tertowie House and an old hospital over Banchory direction but not sure if these ones are still accessible? We don't mind driving about but don't want wasted journeys since its a very rural area and we'd waste a hell of a lot of time/diesal doing so!
Could anyone suggest suitable sites which are current?? Thanks in advance!
There is a lot to see in the Aberdeen area, just not that many folk exploring, best thing would be find things yourself and that would save me all the time and diesel I waste trying to find stuff when I'm up that way.
Good luck and look forward to a report I hope?
thats a shame at cabrach. the school was boarded up at cabrach last time i went but back door was open. other cottages were open at the doors for access. there are other cottages on the open country roads its just finding them.
Where are these at? I would be interested in a look at them if they are still there :).


It's hard to believe it's been two years since the Manchester, England, bombing during an Ariana Grande concert. In fact, I'm not sure I was even very familiar with Ariana Grande at the time. Crazy how much can change in two years!
Over the weekend, she shared a photo of brain scans. One was a healthy brain, another was a brain with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Then, she shared the scans of her brain, and they were pretty startling.


The secretive startup Zoox is testing its autonomous vehicles on the grounds of the Stanford Linear Accelerator Centers (SLAC). The first car doesn't look much more than a 'driveable frame'. It was built by the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm for Zoox.
The Zoox founders are the Australian designer Tim Kentley-Klay and the Stanford engineer Jesse Levinson, who had worked in the past with Sebastian Thrun. More details about the history of Zoox can be found in an extensive article by the IEEE.
The second vehicle (pictures by Carl Bass) is a black Lexus SUV – similar to the ones used by Google-Waymo. In total eight lidars are mounted on the roof and the bumpers.
Zoox's experimental robo-taxi in the garage at SLAC appears to have multiple lidar modules. The vehicle is conceived to have modules that drive, camber, and steer each wheel independently. So it will be able to drive in either direction.
Because of the special status of the SLAC areal – it's federal land – Zoox is not required to have a Californian test license. Although Zoox does have such a test license, there are some advantage testing the cars only on the SLAC areal, because its closed to the public.

It appears that the hypocrisy of the GOP does have its limits. Well, it does when it comes to big Republican National Committee donors shelling out money for faux lesbians, private jets and lavish hotels.
While one low-level RNC staffer has been canned over the latest row and now people are calling for RNC Chairman Michael Steele's head.
I'm surprised Steele lasted as long as he has. My cynical side tells me that he was picked to lead the RNC to offset President Obama's skin color. An attempt by the RNC to say, "We have lots of black friends." His political resume is rather thin.
But now that the GOP has driven itself into the ditch with Tea Partiers, military militias and other radical groups, I don't think anyone in the GOP gives a rip about being the big tent party anymore.
And now donations are down. According to OpenSecrets, the RNC normally crushes the DNC when it comes to raking in the big money, but not anymore.
In 2006 election cycle, the DNC raised $130 million and the RNC $243 million. In 2008, the RNC recorded $427 million compared to the DNC's $260 million. And so far in 2010, the DNC has pulled in $100 million and the RNC $109 million. That's a meager $9 million fundraising edge for the RNC.
If you know anything about the GOP is that they have no problem sacrificing one of their own for the greater good of the party. So long, Michael Steele, I'm sure you have enough material for another book.

Q: __get как это работает? Вот в файле я подключаю
include '/map.php';
include '/code.php';
include '/boot.php';

Как сделать чтобы файлы сами подключались когда потребуются?
В каком случае срабатывает _get()

Добавил пример
class vasek {

        private $classes = array(
                'config'     => 'Config',
                'request'    => 'Request'
        );

        private static $objects = array();

        public function __construct(){

        }

        public function __get($name) {

                if(isset(self::$objects[$name])){
                        return(self::$objects[$name]);
                }

                if(!array_key_exists($name, $this->classes)){
                        return null;
                }

                $class = $this->classes[$name];

                include_once('api/'.$class.'.php');

                self::$objects[$name] = new $class();

                return self::$objects[$name];
        }

}

A: Эту магическую функцию нужно рассматривать вкупе с функцией такого же типа - __set().
В __set() и __get() описываются принципы создания и принципы получения неизвестного свойства (не описанного в классе) для какого-либо класса.
Так, например, можно неизвестые до какого-то момента свойства записывать в массив и оттуда же их вызывать при обращении к ним, после объявления.
Пример:
<?php
    class A {
        //свойство класса (в будущем - массив) для хранения не предопределенных переменных
        public $data;

        //определяем функцию хранения неизвестной классу переменной
        function __set($property, $value){
            $this->data[$property] = $value;
        }

        //определяем функцию извлечения добавленной ранее переменной
        function __get($property){
            return $this->data[$property];
        }
    }

    // тестируем работу магических функций

    //создаём объект класса
    $object = new A();

    //присваиваем значение новому свойству name
    $object->name = 'Значение свойства name'; // работает магический метод __set(), записывая значение в массив $data

    //выводим не предопределенное в классе свойство name
    echo $object->name; # сработает метод __get(), достаёт из массива date значение ячейки с ключём name, выведет - Значение свойства name
?>

Плюс можешь почитать страницу в документации по этому поводу.
A: Неясно, от чего ты решил (и все поверили), что нужен маг. метод __get, когда речь идет о подключении файлов.
Нужен autoloader:
<?php

// или так:
function my_autoloader($class) {
    include 'classes/' . $class . '.php';
}

spl_autoload_register('my_autoloader');

// или так:
// function __autoload($class) {
//     include 'classes/' . $class . '.php';
// }

?>

После добавления этого кода будет подключен нужный файл из директории "classes" при условии его правильного именования. К примеру, ты создаешь экземпляр класса map:
<?

$map = new map();
$map->some_method();

?>

Так вот, если к этому моменту объявления класса map не было, будет произведена попытка подключить файл "./classes/map.php" в надежде на то что в нем описан нужный класс.
Подробнее: PHP OOP5 - autoload

UPD
То есть, если ты хочешь, чтобы при обращении к $vasek->map получался объект класса map, нужно в массив $classes дописать свои классы. Странно, почему это сделано таким образом, но что есть, то есть. Я вот, к примеру, просто проверял наличие одноименного файла. Но тебе нужно вот что:
class vasek {

    private $classes = array(
        'config'     => 'Config',
        'request'    => 'Request',
        'map'        => 'Map',
    );

    ...
}

а потом — переместить файл "map.php" в "api/Map.php" (следи за регистром!).
Тогда при первом обращении к $vasek->map подключится файл "api/Map.php", создастся экземпляр класса: new Map() и сохранится в закрытом массиве $objects — чтоб при следующем обращении к этому св-ву тебе вернулся уже созданный ранее объект.
