When a person has spent all his days immersed in materialism and suddenly feels a strong desire to walk in the ways of Hashem, the attribute of Judgment rises up to accuse him. It will not allow him to walk in the ways of Hashem and creates an obstacle. But Hashem loves kindness and hides Himself in the obstacle itself. Someone with understanding looks carefully and discovers Hashem in the very obstacle itself!
I don't know what it is, but there is just something about Erez Levanon's song "HaSimcha Tamid BaLev" on the CD "Or BaLev" that immediately makes my heart overflow with sheer unbridled happiness every time I listen it. I sing this song dancing around with my children, I sing it before I walk into my house each day after work, and I sing it in hisbodedus.
"As the joy begins to radiate within you, it will spread to your legs until you literally start to dance for joy. This will banish the forces of impurity, which take hold of the legs, mitigating harsh judgments and enabling you to receive blessings."
A person must listen to every step which he takes and examine whether he is fulfilling Hashem's wishes with that step.
Reciting Birkas Hamazon demands greater kavana than davening, because davening is a rabbinic edict while Birkas Hamazon is a Torah requirement.
Reviewing the halachos concerning theft has resensitized me to the incredibly high standard that the Torah sets for us. It also made me recall some of my actions as a child in elementary school that I am not so proud of. While I don't recall exactly what age I was, I do remember my first experience stealing a pack of strawberry-flavored Bubblicious bubble gum at a small neighborhood supermarket. A few years later, my childhood-friend and I pulled off our largest heist which consisted of shoplifting six Star Wars figures from the mall. I am happy to report though, that my days of shoplifting ended there.
However, I noticed that the Torah also considers it to be a subtle form of theft theft when I recently borrowed a co-worker's pen without his knowledge, solely to sign a document and then returned it to his desk.
Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 182:2 states, "Taking a thing of trivial value, that no one would mind, like taking a splinter of a bundle of wood, in order to use it as a toothpick, is permitted. However, it is an act of piousness to refrain from this as well."
Additionally, Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 182:13 states, "It is forbidden to use anything belonging to your fellow without his knowledge. Even if you are certain when the owner finds out he will be happy and elated that you used it, because of his good feelings to you; nevertheless it is forbidden. Therefore, if you enter the orchard or garden belonging to your neighbood, it is forbidden to pluck fruit without the owner's knowledge, even though the owner of the orchard and the owner of the garden is a dear, cherished friend, and certainly will be happy and elated when finding out that you enjoyed his fruit. Nevertheless, since at the present time he knows nothing of this, you are enjoying it unlawfully. It is necessary to warn the public regarding this; for they break this rule for lack of knowledge."
An employee may not use any of his employer's property for personal use without permission from the employer. Therefore, an employee may not use the office telephone, copier, or any other business equipment for non-office use.
If the employee knows that the employer permits such use, even if only reluctantly, he may do so.
If the employer does not permit personal use, but it's well known that many of the workers use his property without permission when he is not looking, it is still prohibited. The fact that "everyone does it" does not in any way create a "Minhag HaMedina" (custom of that society) that would permit such a thing.
Rebbe Nachman of Breslov [Sefer HaMiddos, Geneiva u'Gezeila A:4] adds an interesting insight on the topic of theft from a mystical perspective. Since a person's possessions contain sparks which are specfically connected to his neshoma, Rebbe Nachman taught that one steals something from another person he is not just stealing a physical object, "Stealing, even indirectly, a penny's worth from one's friend is akin to taking his soul and the souls of his children."
Reflecting on my past and also these teachings, I found a teaching from the Pele Yoetz that appears to sum up this issue, "Since it is difficult to return a stolen item which has already been consumed, one who fears Hashem will be carefull not to steal anything even in the slightest amount."
Really I wanted something more global - to make a project to scan all available Slavita/Zhitomir sforim, since they are known for their special kdusho. But not only to scan - to make it available for people. No one wanted to do it so far. However there are no resources for such a thing.
At least I wanted to get scans of some important sforim, like Zhitomir or Slavita Chumash with Ivre Taych (because it uses Ukranian and alive Yiddish), other Ivre Taych sforim if possible, and also the Siddur "Seyder Avoydo uMoyre Derech", since it has a very valuable chasidic pirush from Reb Aharon miZelichov, known for other beautiful sforim, and also it uses the nusach that was most common between chasidim in Ukraine (supposedly it is the nusach of Reb Pinchos Koritzer and his talmidim,because the siddur was published by his grandchildren. In their later siddurim they didn't reprint that nusach!).
All those sofrim are scattered in major libraries in Yerusholaim, Kiev, and other places, and amongst private holders. It worth to make a formal project to preserve those sforim, which will give it weight in the eyes of all those people. However it all requires a lot of money, which I have none for such a big thing. So if anyone is interested to support it- you can join (you can contact me through A Simple Jew).
With the days of Elul quickly approaching us, have you given any consideration to any new practices or resolutions you intend to take upon yourself for the new year?
It is helpful that at the time of Torah study you make some sort of change in your doings that will affect your body, for example, a change of place. If at all possible try to study elsewhere than in your home. If you do not have anywhere else to go, or if there are people in that place who will disturb you - then at least have in your home a special room or at least a special place in a room dedicated to Torah study.
My achievements came mainly through simplicity. I spent much time simply conversing to Hashem and saying Tehillim.
The Tzemach Tzedek, who used to refer to the Rebbe [R. Yisrael] of Ruzhin as "the holy Ruzhiner," once related: "The holy Ruzhiner would not brook any melancholy nor even bitterness - with the result that his chassidim became playful. One Tishah BeAv they occupied themselves for a while tossing burs at each other. They then decided to clamber on to the roof of the beis midrash, and to lower a noose over the entrance. Whoever walked in the door could then be lassoed and promptly hoisted on to the roof. The prank succeeded until, sure enough, who should walk in but - their Rebbe, the Ruzhiner. From up there it was hard to tell one hat from another, and only when the tzaddik was halfway up did they identify him.
"When they had lowered him to the ground he exclaimed: 'Master of the Universe! If Your children do not observe Your Yom-Tov, then take it away from them!'"
The Torah does not specify what time this is referring to. This is a hint that a person should always be ready to daven to Hashem, and should not say, "I don't have the time or patience to daven right now." Rather, he should be willing to daven in any place and at any time.
I am looking to find a good computer program with games to introduce my almost five year-old daughter to the nekudos and how to read Hebrew. I noticed that Its Time to Learn Alef Bet: Hebrew Alphabet and Vowels Trainer was highly rated but do not know anything about it or the myriad of other programs.
Could anyone recommend some software for this?
The Sudilkover Rebbe noted that there are no siddurim printed in accordance to this nusach, however he dreamed to one day publish such a siddur. He also stated that currently the Vizhnitzer siddur printed in Israel and Chabad's siddur appear to be the closest to the Sudilkov nusach.
Until such time as there is a Sudilkov siddur, I plan to continue using my siddur and make the Sudilkov nusach changes that the Sudilkover Rebbe specified.
When I feel that another person is looking at me askance it is often a sign that it I am the one projecting these feelings onto this person. Yet, there are times when my perception is completely accurate and the person is looking at me and not seeing me, only my big red beard and yarmulke.
When I notice these disparaging looks, I fight against my innate nature and try return them with a smile or a friendly greeting. And when I daven, these people come to mind when I finish the Amida and say the last line of Elokai Netzor.
When people are asked why they are unwilling to settle in Eretz Yisrael right now, they have all types of cheshbonot - calculations - as to why now is not the time. One says his chesbon is that his children need to finish school or college; another's chesbon is that he has to vest his pension, and so on. If we look in the Torah, though, we will see that before the Jewish people entered Eretz Yisrael, they first killed the King of Chesbon. Once the King of Chesbon is killed, the decision to move to Eretz Yisrael becomes easy.
Wildnerness City: What did they get right in Mexico?
When you are learning Torah and davening from the siddur, realize that the holy letters are like chambers of a palace in which the king dwells. And if you intend wholeheartedly to attach your soul to the king who is there, you will be able to say the words with great fear and love of Hashem.
You know your teshuva has been accepted before Hashem when you feel simcha after pouring out your broken, crushed heart.
Interpreting this pasuk in a different manner than Rashi, Ibn Ezra explained that Dovid HaMelech is expressing his belief that his words are an honest reflection of his thoughts.
We may pay lip service to lofty and holy concepts and ideals during our waking hours, however our dreams reveal to us our hidden truth. Rebbe Simcha Bunim of Peshischa taught, "Dreams enable us to recall what our mind was engrossed in all day." Indeed, these very dreams reveal to us the "mental residue" of our subconscious. They reveal to us whether our thoughts were truly tied to what we imagined them to be.
Sefer HaMiddos, Emes 44 contains a teaching from Rebbe Nachman of Breslov that gives me pause, "A man can tell from his dreams if his heart is true with G-d."
Is my heart as true as Dovid HaMelech claimed his to be? It would be the height of arrogance for me to answer this question in the affirmative. However, I can honestly tell you that it is a tiny bit "truer" than it was originally before the 21st of Sivan.
My eyes are the gateway to my mind; the purer the sights I see, the purer my thoughts become.
Whether in Torah study or in prayer, if a person understands the simple meaning of the words or the practical halacha to be derived from his studies, he binds Malchus, which is speech, to Binah, which is thought.
One of the advantages of being an anonymous blogger is the freedom to write one's inner thoughts and thereby give the reader a glimpse into the private thoughts within one's mind. Routinely, we share thoughts we would never share with someone who knew our identity.
Yet, as time elapses and we gain regular readers, we instinctively become more guarded with what we write. It is almost as if we are afraid that our words will reveal a divergence between our written words and our online personas.
As another anonymous blogger, do you have any thoughts on this phenomenon?
I'm a new blogger (almost exactly 6 months). I was asking questions about this early on in my blogging career as well. I have noticed what you talked about as well. After writing for a couple of months and corresponding with you and others, I have also developed a certain online personality, an alter ego, if you will. Like you said, I am restrained by having to write in a way that lives up to that online expectation. One way I compensate for this is by being conscious of it, and trying not to say things just because I think that is what sounds good, but rather saying what I actually believe and think. I have turned down questions that ASJ has sent me to write about in the past because I could not write about them honestly and without pretension.
I have noticed another type of irony. On one hand, I write anonymously so that I can write things that are more personal, that I perhaps wouldn't share if everyone knew who I was, just as you said. However, as Rabbi Without a Cause wrote in a post on this topic, things do not necessarily work out that way. I feel restrained in my writing for two main reasons. One is similar to a reason given in the article I just linked. I may not always be an anonymous blogger and therefore I have to be careful only to write things I do not mind being known about me. For me, this obviates much of the benefit of anonymous blogging. I suppose only one who is sure they will always remain anonymous can really benefit from that anonymity in the form of the ability to write more freely.
The second restraint I feel is that of actually maintaining the anonymity. Very often there are things about my family, my shul, my rabbi, my friends, etc. that I want to write about or share but cannot, because it would make it too easy to figure out who I am. The anonymity that is supposedly designed to free me to be a more honest writer, its self, restrains me from speaking about things that I would like to speak about. Non-anonymous bloggers like Mr. Uberdox and MoChassid have many liberties that us anonymous folks do not, because they do not have to hide their identities.
I recently posted a funny story that happened to the real-life-me because of my anonymous blogging, I posted here. Right now, I am maintaining my anonymity because several people, not least of which is my rebbe, have advised me that at this point, it is wise to do so. Therefore, that is what I am doing. Perhaps some of A Simple Jew's readers can comment about their feelings about all of the blogging anonymity.
Even with three clips securing his yarmulke to his newly-cut hair, Lil' Tzaddik is still able to shake it loose. If he does keep it on his head, his little sister - the crawling yarmulke goniff - sneaks up on him and snatches it off his head.
My mom e-mailed me this link for Klipped Kippahs, and after reading the description on the site I decided to check it out. I am happy to report that this product does everything that it says it does. From sun up to sun down the Kipped Kippah yarmulke stays on my son's head despite how vigorously he plays.
While my mother-in-law probably wished this product was never invented, it has made the life of my wife and I much easier and allowed us to reclaim all the time we would have spent searching the house for hair clips or readjusting his yarmulke when it slides off our son's head.
One who desires to reach the truth must be able to subjugate all his desires.
Due to a week-long training course that I am required to attend for work, I will be taking a short break from blogging. I plan to return to normal posting on Monday, July 16.
Loving Hashem and loving your neighbor are indeed two separate mitzvos, but, in essence, loving Hashem and loving your fellow man are one and the same. It is the tzaddik's task to turn the two loves into one.
A student of Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz once asked him how he could be assured that he was making progress in his Torah study. Rabbi Steinsaltz replied that he honestly did not know how much the student had accomplished over the past year and advised his student that there was only one person who could accurately judge his progress - the student's wife.
Rabbi Steinsaltz instructed his student to ask his wife whether all the Torah he learned over the past year had contributed into making him into a better person, or whether he had just remained the same. If she told him that he was better person, he would know that indeed was on the right track and could be confident that he was making headway in his studies. If she told him there was no apparent difference, he would know that he would need to start making some changes.
This story resonated with me and I asked my wife this very question on Shabbos morning. My wife responded that she could not tell a noticeable difference. She further noted that there was still one area where I was lacking and could make improvement - Ahavas Yisroel. My wife explained that while I excelled in the way I treated and related to non-Jews and also religious Jews, my dealing with secular Jews, particularly those who were antagonistic towards religious Jews, was lacking.
Ahavas Yisroel - a cornerstone of the derech of the Baal Shem Tov - and I was lacking in this! I didn't dispute my wife's observation and was interested to hear her cite examples of where I did not meet the mark. After Shacharis, I reviewed the Tzemach Tzedek's teaching on this subject in Derech Mitzvosecha. There the Tzemach Tzedek advises one that although a his intellect may become aware of the shortcomings of a fellow Jew, he should never allow this cognitive knowledge to result in negative emotions, felt or displayed towards a fellow Jew.
Is this difficult advice to follow? Indeed it is, especially when one encounters a person who may take an antagonistic stance against you.
However, if this is the benchmark to gauge whether I am succeeding in learning Torah, I must remember that if I profess to love Hashem, I must also love His children.
"Ribbono shel Olam, the personality of each individual is revealed before You; they do not resemble each other. Appoint a leader who can put up with each individual according to his personality."
"You should know they are troublesome, that they are uncooperative."
Hashem instructs Moshe to put "his splendor" upon Yehoshua and informs him that the Jewish people will heed his words when they recognize that his countenance is shining brightly.
The lesson for me behind all of this is clear: I may be fully cognizant of the shortcomings of a fellow Jew, nevertheless, I must relate to this Jew according to his or her unique personality; I must become a shining example of the person Hashem expects me to be.
You sometimes give tzedakah to a poor man, and he returns it, asking for a larger amount. If you comply with his request you will receive a boundless reward, since what you did is contrary to human nature.
Question: The sources you quoted sound intriguing. But how can you actually learn to practice this kind of meditation? There don't seem to be any shiurim offered in this kind of thing at the local Orthodox synagogue.
Answer: A Chassidic scholar in Jerusalem who prefers to remain anonymous has devoted most of his life to searching for the elusive "inner point" of the Baal Shem Tov's teachings, as well as the roots of "Toras HaBaal Shem Tov" in earlier Jewish mystical writings. His ongoing series of source-books on this subject is entitled "Shiva Einayim (Seven Springs)," and now numbers five volumes. Sometimes these books are available in the U.S. through Moznaim Publishing, 4304 Twelfth Ave., Brooklyn, NY (718-853-0525).
He also teaches people, I have been told. But if you don't live in Yerushalayim, that won't help too much.
In Brooklyn, I don't know who is adept in this aspect of Chassidus, which has widely fallen into disuse. Maybe Rabbi Mordechai Zilber, the Stutchiner Rebbe on 54th St. or Rabbi Yosef Borukh Pinchos Rabinowitz, the Skolye Rebbe of 48th St., have some mesorahs about it. Both are both scholars and masters of Chassidus (although representing different traditions), whose knowledge is from the "inside" and not just the "outside." However, be forewarned: people tend to be very secretive about this kind of thing in the Chassidic world today.
I never heard of any special techniques related to how one should sit or breathe, etc., as in some forms of meditation developed by Far Eastern schools, which in any case are bound up with other religions. (Like most Chassidim, I am not in the right physical shape to spend much time in the lotus position!) In Breslov, the form of hisbodedus we practice doesn't involve any special physical preparations or techniques, aside from finding a nice secluded place that is free from distractions, and standing or sitting there until the words start to come. Sometimes the silent part of hisbodedus just happens spontaneously. However, if one wants to focus on silent meditation, I would say that a chair and the inner resolve are all you need.
Question: Where can you read more about the Baal Shem Tov's formal teachings?
Answer: For those who have never studied the Baal Shem Tov's teachings before, three good anthologies are: Keser Shem Tov (gleaned from the works of Rabbi Yaakov Yosef of Polonoye); Sefer Baal Shem Tov Al Ha-Torah (Two Volumes); and a more recent collection, Me'ir Eynei Yisrael. These books, too, should be available from Moznaim in Brooklyn.
I translated some of this material in The Path of the Baal Shem Tov about ten years ago; and Rabbi Immanuel Schochet of Chabad translated Tzava'at HaRivash, one of the first collections of sayings and short lessons from the Baal Shem Tov and the Maggid of Mezeritch, with scholarly annotations.
Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan devoted an entire section to the Baal Shem Tov and early Chassidic teachings in his ground-breaking study, Meditation and the Kabbalah, as well as in Chassidic Masters (both published by Moznaim).
Everyone must find his own individual approach in his avodas Hashem.
"Before, when he sinned, it was because the temptation entered his mind and he succumbed to it. Now the thought is in his mind again, but this time he rejects it. So don't feel discouraged if you find all kinds of temptations and fantasies continually pressing in on your mind. They are actually providing you with the opportunity to repent and make amends for the damage done in the past. Today you have the power to master your thoughts and temptations. When you do so, the sparks of holiness which fell because of your earlier transgressions are released, and you are able to purify yourself."
Rebbe Nachman is teaching us that each time we are successful to dispel a sinful thought from our mind it is a rectification for an prior sinful thought that we allowed to linger in our mind. As I reflected upon this teaching, I wondered if I have spent over 30 years without dispelling such thoughts, would I need to spend the next 30+ years dispelling these thoughts to make a complete rectification for them and to have a clean slate.
I asked Rabbi Lazer Brody this question and he responded, "Not necessarily - a person that invests effort can do it in a very short time; depends on the effort you devote." His words gave me tremendous chizuk for my 40 day offensive. However, at this point I still anticipating a robust enemy counter-attack, and I feel that I am only holding the ground under my feet.
A Jew who merits to say the prescribed ten kapitlach of Tehillim with devotion and strength can shatter walls of iron.

Q: .NET ConfigurationErrorsException I seem to get the exception:
ConfigurationErrorsException was unhandled:
Configuration system failed to initialize

When I call Dns.GetHostName()
It seems to be linked to when the AppDomain is being unloaded.  The exception only seems to come up when the AppDomain is unloaded/reloaded.  I don't know if there is a race condition where the AppDomain is being unloaded before it can be fully loaded... however I've put SyncRoots around the loading and unloading, but this hasn't helped.

Q: Django: help in implementing error reporting I am trying to implement an error reporting system that directly sends the errors to slack.
The steps are like this:

*

*My API fails and return a 400 error.

*The Middleware will check if the response code equals 400

*Call the function to send the error message to slack.

API:
class SomeWorkingAPI(APIView):
    permission_classes = (AllowAny,)

    def get(self, request):
        client = request.query_params.get('client', None)
            try:
                #do something
            except:
                error_msg = "error occurred in the API"
                return Response({'message': error_msg}, status=status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST)
        return Response(result, status=status.HTTP_200_OK)

Middleware:
def error_reporting(request, error_msg=None):
    # this is the function that sends the message to my slack channel
    return 'error reported successfully'

class SomeMiddleWare(object):
    def __init__(self, get_response):
        self.get_response = get_response

    def __call__(self, request):
        response = self.get_response(request)
        return response

    def process_template_response(self, request, response):
        if response.status_code >= 400:
            error_reporting(request, error_msg=response['message'])

The help I need:

*

*I want to send the error message returned from the API (return Response({'message': error_msg}, status=status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST)) to the middleware. How can i achieve that? What i'm doing in middleware (response['message']), is throwing KeyError.

*Since the middleware has both request and response, it would be great if I can get all the query params and payload from the request. When I'm using request.query_params in the error_reporting function, I'm getting AttributeError: 'WSGIRequest' object has no attribute 'query_params'.

*It would be great if you can provide some other way to achieve my goal.
Thank you

Deepening Intimacy in Psychotherapy
Using the Erotic Transference and Countertransference
Florence Rosiello
In this provocative volume, Dr. Florence W. Rosiello addresses erotic dynamics in the treatment relationship within the context of a two-person therapy, emphasizing the necessity of mutuality and emotional reciprocity between patient and therapist. With rich clinical illustrations, she demonstrates how the intimacy created by working within the sexual dimension of the therapeutic relationship may present opportunities for insight and growth that could easily be missed if one seeks to avoid these highly charged issues. Focusing on those patients who are predisposed to relating to others in a sexualized manner, Dr. Rosiello has discovered that mutual exploration of both the therapist's and the patient's subjective experience offers a valuable and effective means of enhancing the treatment.

Florence W. Rosiello, PhD, is faculty and supervisor at the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy, as well as faculty and supervisor at the Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Study Center and the New York Institute for Psychoanalytic Self Psychology. She is in private practice in psychoanalysis and psychotherapy in New York City.
Dr. Florence Rosiello has written an important, pioneering book. It is composed of a collection of clinical experiences with patients who have developed erotic transferences. These experiences reflect a wide range in gender and sexual orientation configuration of patient and therapist. As Dr. Rosiello points out, the important area of erotic transference and counter-transference has, for the most part, been neglected in the clinical literature. She describes these erotic narratives with courage and sophistication. It is clear that the expression of loving and sexual feelings in the transference involves emotional risk taking on the part of the therapist. In these beautifully and sensitively written vignettes, Dr. Rosiello demonstrates that working with the erotic transference creates the basis for a very special emotional intimacy in the therapeutic relationship. This volume is highly recommended to clinicians at all levels of experience.
— Jefferey Seinfeld, Ph.D., Ehrenkranz School of Social Work at New York University
Dr. Rosiello has performed the enormous service of taking the erotic transference and countertransference out of the therapeutic closet. In this scholarly and incisive account of the psychoanalytic view of the erotic transference, she courageously ventures into territory that has tended to be off limits. With rich illustrations, she vividly shows how both same- and different-gender patients and therapists struggle to make sense of and deal with their erotic feelings in treatment. Dr. Rosiello has significantly enlarged our view of the meaning of the erotic transference to encompass a patient's positive developmental strivings for connection and intimacy. She makes a major contribution to our understanding of the ways in which therapists need to participate with patients during psychotherapy.
— Eda G. Goldstein, DSW, Ehrenkranz School of Social Work at New York University
Today's psychotherapist is faced with the important challenge of making use of his or her individual voice and temperament. Florence Rosiello takes up this challenge where others might avoid it, in the difficult arena of the erotic transference and countertransference experience. Dr. Rosiello uses creativity laced with humor to demonstrate how her unique point of view can be used in this context to deepen the relationship between therapist and patient.

This guide assumes you've got a wallet, have installed the snet tool, and have successfully called a service.
Currently our SDK only supports Python 3.6+. In the future we'll support a wide variety of languages. We make use of protocol buffers and grpc, so if you can find support for a language for both of those, then it's only matter of time before we (or the community! ;-) ) writes an SDK for it.
Step 3. Write some code!
For anyone that has written grpc code before this will look somewhat familiar.
However, underneath the hood the SDK will fetch the model definition from IPFS, compile the code, set up payment channels, and make the request for you.
This isn't done for every request. It will only do these steps if it doesn't have a local cache of a compiled model, and doesn't already have an existing funded channel to use.
The above is great for building well defined APIs with objects representing the messages being sent. Its also consistent with how you'd interact with any other grpc service.
This requires you to have the CLI set up, and will only ever be available for Python applications, but it's nice to have options.


NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. stock markets tumbled on Wednesday, reversing a morning rally after the U.S. Federal Reserve delivered an expected interest rate hike but signaled its tightening cycle is nearing an end in the face of financial market volatility and slowing global growth.
Losses accelerated on comments by Fed chairman Jerome Powell at a press conference that he does not see the Fed changing its policy of keeping its balance sheet run down on autopilot.
STOCKS: Wall Street seesawed after the announcement from the Federal Open Market Committee, taking the latest nosedive after Chairman Jerome Powell started speaking at the post meeting press conference. The S&P 500 .SPX was last down 1.51 percent after being up more than 1 percent right before the FOMC meeting ended. The Dow .DJI was off 1.4 percent. BONDS: The 10-year U.S. Treasury note US10YT=RR yield fell to 2.7673 percent and the 2-year yield US2YT=RR fell to 2.6417 percent. FOREX: The dollar index .DXY was last off 0.1 percent.
"In turn, that supports the U.S. dollar and that is negative news for emerging markets in general.
"The market is really responding to the concept that the Fed still has the path they want to follow and that path still involves multiple interest rate increases next year.
"There's a huge amount of money that's trading these events, so you're getting extraordinary volatility on what I don't think was extraordinarily volatile news.
"There's some disappointment that they weren't more dovish. They basically matched what had become the street consensus, with the December hike and two more hikes in 2019. On the positive side, it says that they don't see anything that's derailing the economy. Yes, estimates are coming down some, probably related to some of the tariff issues, but they don't see anything that's going to cause a major economic downturn on the immediate horizon. But the market was hoping for a more dovish outlook. Some definite disappointment from investors.
"Right now, the market is pricing in zero hikes for next year. The 10-year Treasury rate is essentially unchanged. All the Fed has done is say, 'well, maybe instead of three we'll do two.' They're not saying one to two. The forecast is still for two hikes next year.
"I thought it was absurd that anybody thought they might not cut today, based on the information that's been coming in. There's a lot of sensationalism going on in the market and people are completely losing site of what the Fed's mandate is.
"If there's one metric in the market that gives me a little bit of pause in terms of trying to anticipate what the Fed will do next year, that's the collapse in crude oil prices.
"Even though they raised rates, the markets are still pushing rates down, from what is going on in the 10-year and 30-year futures .
"It's still all about tariffs, we'll see what happens tariff-wise, that's still the primary story.
"It's a disappointment to investors who were hoping it was going to be more dovish than it turned out to be. A lot of people were thinking they needed to change the language. The language last time said the committee expects further gradual increases are consistent with conditions. This time they said some further increases will be needed. That is not as dovish as some people were hoping - maybe adjustments going forward left the door open left the door open to an increase or maybe even no change or a cut at some point. That is not what they did. It looks like now they are saying maybe two hikes next year instead of three, that is a little bit of moderation but it is not nearly what the market was hoping for.
"The U.S. Dollar will likely show resilience to losing some of its value since the hike does represent a higher return for investors. However, the initial take is that Powell and the committee may have had second thoughts about the originally thought pace of hikes for next year.
"The economy seems to have a bad aura around it. Everybody seems to be somewhat in agreement, and the sentiment has manifested itself in the form of doubts about increasing borrowing costs too quickly.

A Life in Education and Architecture: Mary Beaumont Medd
This book provides a detailed exploration of the relationships between individual architects, educators, artists and designers that laid the foundation and shaped the approach to designing new school buildings in post-war Britain. It explores the life and work of Mary Medd (née Crowley) (1907-2005) who was alongside her husband and professional partner, David Medd, one of the most important modernist architects of the 20th century. Mary Medd devoted the major part of her career to the design of school buildings and was pioneering in this respect, drawing much inspiration from Scandinavian architecture, arts and design. More than a biography, the book draws attention to the significance of relationships and networks of friendships built up over these years among individuals with a common view of the child in educational settings.
Contents: Foreword, Dominic Cullinan; Preface, David Leslie Medd; Introduction; Childhood and education 1907-1927; Study and travel 1920s-1930s; First architectural work: from housing to education; Partnerships and networks; The schools; Evolution of the design process 'from the inside out'; International travel and exchange 1949-1972; In retirement; Towards the 'future-building school'. Lasting legacies of design and democratic practice; Conclusion: telling the quiet stories of educational design; Appendices; References; Index.
Dr Catherine Burke is an historian and senior lecturer in education at the Faculty of Education, University of Cambridge. She has researched Mary Medd's life and travels since the architect's death in 2005, while at the same time engaging with architects designing schools today to bring about a better understanding of the history of the subject. Other related publications include The School I'd Like (2003) and School (2008) both with Ian Grosvenor.
Prize: Winner of Anne Bloomfield Book Prize 2014, History of Education Society 'This is a generous, well-crafted review of the life of Bradford-born public sector architect Mary Medd (née Crowley, 1907-2005). As a means of gaining insight into how to design schools, Catherine Burke's book beautifully illuminates her subject's profound impact on the thinking and processes involved... Burke, a historian of education, shows mastery of her subject here and delivers it through a light, accessible style.' Times Higher Education 'Michael Gove should stop reinventing the wheel and get a history lesson on architecture and education by reading Catherine Burke's newly published book on Mary Medd, née Crowley. In A Life in Education and Architecture, Gove will learn about the remarkable work of a socially committed Quaker family who were at the forefront of the reformation of child welfare and school building design.' The Architects' Journal '[Burke's] book is most informative in making links between Mary Medd and the schools she and her father admired around the world, and in discussing the training courses at Dartington and Bishop Grosseteste College, Lincoln, where the Medds collaborated with educationalists. Burke's work and enthusiasm is valuable in that she can bring the post-war architectural world to a new and important audience of users ...' C20 Magazine '...this splendid volume, engagingly written and lavishly supplied with over 100 illustrations, is the most interesting, informative and inspirational book on the history of education that I have read in 2013'. Paedagogica Historica: International Journal of the History of Education 'Burke's investigation, through the use of a chronologically structured biography, astutely develops the connection between architecture and education, but also seeks to establish a further connection with Mary's own life. Using original manuscripts, plans, photographs and documentation, the text explores the significan

Pot Stoke Against Motivated Manchester City
England is abuzz with Capital One Cup fever but attention will turn to the FA Cup this weekend, with Manchester City standing out as the best bet in the fourth round.
With the Citizens out of Europe and overrated in the latest English Premier League betting market – bookmakers are being ridiculous in quoting them at odds of around 11-4 when one statistical forecast tool estimates that they have a title chance of 13.3 per cent, which equates to 13-2 – Roberto Mancini cannot afford to take the English FA Cup lightly.
The bad news for Manchester City is that they have been drawn away from home in one of only two all-English Premier League ties in the English FA Cup fourth round. The good news is that the Citizens have been paired with Stoke.
Manchester City is available at odds of around 4-5 to beat the Potters at the Britannia Stadium and the gulf in class, combined with the Citizens knowing that the English FA Cup represents their best chance of silverware between now and the end of the season, makes Mancini's men worth backing.
With five wins on the spin, including a 3-0 English Premier League home victory over Stoke on New Year's Day, Manchester City is its country's form team. The Potters tried to keep the Citizens at bay at the beginning of the month but Pablo Zabaleta opened the scoring just before the half-time break and it all the home side after they had eaten their oranges.
Manchester City afforded second-tier Watford the respect of a full-strength side in the English FA Cup third round and that tie was at the Etihad Stadium. It is hard to envisage anything other than an A-grade Citizens team facing Stoke at the Britannia Stadium given the importance of the occasion.
The Potters are safely positioned in the middle section of the English Premier League table and they were the last side among the country's elite to lose a home match this season. But their relative mid-table security owes everything to their results against the division's lesser lights and nothing to their results versus its established powers.
If one does not include extra time or penalties, Stoke has won just six of its 26 games in all competitions. The Potters have beaten only Fulham (1-0 home), Liverpool (3-1 home), Newcastle (2-1 home), Queens Park Rangers (1-0 home), Swansea (2-0 home) and West Bromwich (1-0 away). Against England's top six, they have zero wins from eight matches – Arsenal (0-0 home), Chelsea (0-4 home and 0-1 away), Everton (1-1 home), Manchester City (1-1 home and 0-3 away), Manchester United (2-4 away) and Tottenham (0-0 away).
To use cricket parlance, Stoke is a flat-track bully that struggles on tricky wickets. The Potters have a terribly poor record versus England's heavyweights – their limited, one-dimensional tactics tend to come unstuck – and that is why the Citizens are worth supporting at a shade of odds on.
Some punters would not dream of backing an odds-on football favourite away from home and, if you fall into that group, consider backing Queens Park Rangers to beat third-tier Milton Keynes at Loftus Road instead. The Super Hoops are 7-10 in some places to defeat their lowly ranked opponents.
Queens Park Rangers boss Harry Redknapp knows the importance of momentum and he will be desperate for his English Premier League struggler to win on home soil and extend its unbeaten run to half a dozen games. Failing to beat a Dons team that is in the hunt for an English League One play-off position would drain the Super Hoops of the confidence that they have gained in their recent matches against Chelsea, Tottenham, West Bromwich (two) and West Ham so Redknapp is likely to pick his best 11 for the English FA Cup fourth round tie.
It was before Redknapp's time but Queens Park Rangers has played only one non-English Premier League side this term and it ran out convincing home winners. Walsall rocked up at Loftus Road for an English Capital One Cup clash in August and the Saddlers did not get a look in, going down 0-3.
Milton Keynes supporters would argue that their team is a bit better than Walsall. Point taken but surely the Dons should be shorter than 7-10 to lose away from home to an English Premier League side, even one as flawed as Queens Park Rangers. Odds of 1-2 would have been more appropriate.
Redknapp has insisted that the Super Hoops want to progress in the English FA Cup despite having the English Premier League relegation fight of their lives on their hands. Other Redknapp teams facing similar circumstances have treated the English FA Cup with tremendous respect so one can take the veteran manager at his word. And besides, if Redknapp did not care about the competition then he would have not bothered about beating the Baggies over two games.

Govt had this to say on atomic minerals and their mining
Atomic Minerals Directorate for Exploration and Research (AMD), a constituent unit of Department of Atomic Energy (DAE), has the mandate to identify, evaluate and augment mineral resources of uranium, thorium, niobium
Durgesh July 26, 2018
Government of India is aware of the fact that 10.98 million tonnes of resources of Molybdenum Ore is located in Tamil Nadu. However, Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) has not taken up any project for exploitation of Molybdenum available near Harur Taluk, Dharmapuri District in Tamil Nadu.
Atomic Minerals Directorate for Exploration and Research (AMD), a constituent unit of Department of Atomic Energy (DAE), has the mandate to identify, evaluate and augment mineral resources of uranium, thorium, niobium, tantalum, beryllium, lithium, zirconium, titanium, rare earths (containing uranium and thorium) besides beach sand minerals like garnet and sillimanite [Atomic Minerals (Part B, First Schedule), The Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act, 1957].
During the last six and a half decades, AMD has identified adequate resources of atomic minerals in the country. The details of the resources of atomic minerals as on May, 2018 are furnished below:
Uranium –3,00,034 tonne uranium oxide (U3O8)
Beach Sand Minerals [BSM] – 1,173.07 million tonne.
The resources of the minerals comprising BSM are given below:
Thorium (as monazite) – 12.47 million tonne (1.12 million tonne ThO2)
The mineral monazite, containing ~ 55 – 60% total Rare Earth Elements (REE), is also the major resource for REE. AMD has also established ~ 2,000 tonne of ~2% xenotime (yttrium + REE mineral) – bearing heavy mineral concentrate.
Titanium (as ilmenite, leucoxene and rutile) – 682.30 million tonne
Zirconium (as zircon) – 35.75 million tonne
Garnet – 187.46 million tonne
Sillimanite -255.09 million tonne
The mining lease deed between the applicant and the State Government is executed by the respective State Governments subject to production of approved mining plan and other statutory permissions issued by various Government Departments. At present, uranium deposits established by AMD are mined by Uranium Corporation of India Limited (UCIL), a PSU of DAE. In respect of beach sand minerals, the mining operations are being carried out by both PSUs and private entrepreneurs. In respect of other atomic minerals like beryl, columbite, tantalite, lepidolite etc., no specific mining operations are being carried out except their recovery as by-products incidental to prospecting operations.

Q: Natbib: LASTNAME, Firstname (Year) style I would like BibTeX citations to appear as

LASTNAME, Firstname (year): Title etc.

in the references. There should be no "bibliography key" [...] in the references section, and citations should appear as (Lastname, year) in the text.
Currently, I am using Natbib and natdin.bst with the definition
\renewcommand{\bibnumfmt}[1]{}

to hide the keys. However, the year is still printed at the end of the citation and not in parentheses right after the author. How could that be achieved?
I am aware of Changing position of year in natbib with plainnat style, but the natdin.bst file seems pretty different and I'm not sure about the right places to tweak it. Is there maybe an existing style that suits my needs?
A minor little extra would be to only output "(Hrsg.)" (Hrsg. = Herausgeber = publisher in German) once even if there are several publishers.

A: As I wrote in the comment biblatex offers a very user friendly solution.
The style authoryear accomplishes your request of ordering and style. To set a colon after the year you can redefine the separator \labelnamepunct:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

\usepackage[style=authoryear,backend=biber,maxcitenames=1]{biblatex}

The Police on Thursday announced the arrest of former Chairman of Suleja Local Government Area of Niger State, Ahmed Kassim and two others, for alleged breach of peace.
The Commissioner of Police in the state, Dibal Yakadi, told journalists that a crisis was triggered by an alleged attempt by the former chairman and his loyalists to gain entrance into the Suleja Secretariat as the substantive chairman.
Mr Yakadi, who confirmed the arrest, said the suspect was trying to force his way into the council secretariat.
Mr Kassim was removed from office by the legislative arm of the council over allegations bothering on abuse of office.
His removal was later affirmed by the state assembly after investigating his alleged offences.
Since then, litigation over his ordeal had lingered at the State High Court which eventually ruled in his favour, ordering his reinstatement.
But the incumbent chairman, Abdullahi Maje, appealed against the judgment at the Court of Appeal in Abuja.
The alleged attempt by Mr Kassim to gain access to his former office on Thursday resulted in fracas, grounding economic activities in the town.
The development led to the blockage of the main federal road linking Suleja to the Federal Capital Territory, thereby forcing motorists to divert.
The state police command drafted policemen to avert an imminent breakdown of law and order.
There was also a heavy presence of security operatives around the secretariat.
Mr Maje who was in his office, appealed for calm, saying security operatives were on top of the situation.
He called on residents to go about their legitimate businesses.
He explained that the local administration would not tolerate any act capable of bringing confusion in the area.
"We will deal decisively with any person or group of people found tampering with the peaceful atmosphere which our area is known for," he said.

Guest reviews for Chef Luis
Chef Luis taught me how to properly chop an onion safely while also having even pieces. I learned a good tip from him in order to cry less during chopping by always using a very sharp knife. This is crucial in order to not release the gasses of the onion. I will definitely be using his tips and tricks in my home kitchen.

About 80 percent of India's 1.1 billion population are Hindus but in recent years, their religious festivals and customs have come under increasing scrutiny as public awareness of environmental issues grows.
The spring festival of Holi involves the throwing of colored powder but studies have found that the industrial powders are often toxic and can cause asthma, temporary blindness and even skin cancer.
"No one is saying that the immersion of idols should not happen -- religious practices should be respected," said Suresh Babu from the Centre for Science and Environment, an environmental think-tank.
"But the government should impose guidelines to craftsmen who make the idols to use eco-friendly materials and organic paints so that we give the environment as much respect as we give god."

The Complete Guide to LSD, by TripSafe
Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) is a common recreational drug. It is also commonly known as acid. LSD is usually consumed on small pieces of paper called blotter.
LSD has been taken by about 25 million Americans at least once, and 1.5 million Americans in the past year, based on 2015 numbers.1
We do not endorse the acquisition and use of illegal drugs. If you make the choice to use psychedelic drugs, please do your research.
Psychedelics are drugs that can induce an altered state, perhaps best described as a dreamlike state, for some number of minutes or hours, depending on the specific psychedelic.
Psychedelics have been used by indigenous people for thousands of years.
Intelligent and creative researchers discovered this indigenous use in the 1950s and 1960s and introduced psychedelics to a tight community of psychotherapists and psychiatrists who found that these tools were very useful.2
Psychedelics then entered the popular culture, and were made illegal.
Psychedelic research is now approaching a renaissance.
If used with care and expertise, there's a solid argument that psychedelics can do the world a lot of good.
Now Rick had an opportunity to work within the system, by the system's rules, to find, or force, common ground around what he believed to be an incontrovertible truth: psychedelics, used with care and expertise, could do people and the world a lot of good.3
Sort of. Acid is a street name for LSD, and LSD is a chemical compound. Unfortunately, not all substances sold as "acid" or "LSD" contain just the pure LSD compound. Pure acid would contain 100% LSD. We will try to use the term LSD in this guide, instead of acid.
See more at: LSD vs acid.
LSD is relatively safe if it pure LSD, and if you have a trusted and experienced guide who can prevent any risk of harming yourself or others due to intoxication.4
"Hallucinogens generally possess relatively low physiological toxicity, and have not been shown to result in organ damage or neuropsychological deficits (Strassman, 1984; Gable, 1993, 2004; Halpern and Pope, 1999; Hasler, et al., 2004; Nichols, 2004; Halpern, et al., 2005)."5
LSD has been taken by about 25 million Americans at least once, and 1.5 million Americans in the past year, based on 2015 numbers.1 This 2008 paper noted that "there have been no documented human deaths from an LSD overdose."6
"Since the early 1990s, approximately 2000 doses of psilocybin (ranging from low to high doses) have been safely administered to humans in the United States and Europe, in carefully controlled scientific settings, with no reports of any medical or psychiatric serious AEs, including no reported cases of prolonged psychosis or HPPD (Studerus et al., 2011)."7 Psilocybin is not the same as LSD, though we should expect an extremely similar dosage dependent safety profile.
"This finding is consistent with a US population (2001–2004 data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health) based study that found no associations between lifetime use of any of the serotoninergic psychedelics (including psilocybin) and increased rates of mental illness (Krebs and Johansen, 2013)."7
"The incidence of risky behavior or enduring psychological distress is extremely low when psilocybin is given in laboratory studies to screened, prepared, and supported participants."8
"There is no evidence of such potential neurotoxic effects with the prototypical classical hallucinogens (i.e. LSD, mescaline and psilocybin)."5
"Cohen (1960) reported that only a single case of a psychotic reaction lasting more than 48 hours occurred in 1200 experimental (non-patient) research participants (a rate of 0.8 per 1000). Notably, the individual was an identical twin of a schizophrenic patient and thus would have been excluded under the proposed guidelines." The key methods to minimize this risk are the medical condition guidlines below.5
Acid was ranked as the third safest drug by Nutt et al. All drugs can still be harmful under certain circumstances.4
What had been clear to Hofmann almost immediately had by this time been observed independently by Osmond and a host of others: for LSD to have the greatest positive effect, subjects needed to take it in a safe, supportive, and aesthetically pleasing environment with a clear idea of what to expect. When difficult issues arose-as they often did-the safe setting and supportive presence of a therapist would allow the subject to process this emotional dynamite, defuse it, and transcend it.3
"Lifetime classic psychedelic use was associated with a significantly reduced odds of past month psychological distress (weighted odds ratio (OR)=0.81 (0.72–0.91)), past year suicidal thinking (weighted OR=0.86 (0.78–0.94)), past year suicidal planning (weighted OR=0.71 (0.54–0.94)), and past year suicide attempt (weighted OR=0.64 (0.46–0.89))"9
Fake acid: Ingesting what you believe to be pure acid (pure LSD), but is actually something else, particularly NBOMe which has been involved in a few deaths in the last few years10
Doing something unsafe during the ~10 hours of being in a decently altered mindstate on the drug. "If someone experiences high anxiety, fear, or paranoia during a psilocybin session, it's not hard to imagine them behaving in ways harmful to themselves or others."11
This assumes pure acid, i.e. 100% LSD.
Acid feels like "seeing the world for the first time," with stimulated and profound seeming thoughts, and sort of a dreamlike feeling.12 Hallucinations also exist, though it would be more accurate to think of them as visual distortions - i.e. seeing extra patterns in the grass, a photo of a waterfall might look like the water is moving when it's actually not - but don't think of it as you'll be seeing green leprechauns that will talk to you.
See the first few images on this page for an accurate depiction of low to moderate acid dosage visual effects.
Read more on the effects of LSD here.
How long does LSD last?
LSD generally lasts ~8-13 hours,13 though it's wise to plan for ~16-18 hours.
Side effects during use
Possible side effects during use include: anxiety, paranoid thinking, discomfort, temporary moderate increases in blood pressure.14
Side effects after use
"Cohen (1960) reported that only a single case of a psychotic reaction lasting more than 48 hours occurred in 1200 experimental (non-patient) research participants (a rate of 0.8 per 1000). Notably, the individual was an identical twin of a schizophrenic patient and thus would have been excluded under the proposed guidelines."5
If you have close schizophrenic relatives, you should not take LSD. This will be discussed futher in the safety section below.
Read the full page on LSD's side effects.
Desirable effects during use
Possible desirable effects during use: joy/intense happiness and peace/harmony.14
Desirable long-term benefits
Users following a specific guided trip protocol experienced a variety of benefits including increased purpose, more energy for work, more initiative, getting more work done, increased self-confidence, marriage satisfaction, and more friends at and outside work.15 16
Read the rest at the page on LSD's effects, including positive effects.
This depends heavily on the dosage, your mindstate going into the trip, and the environment where you take LSD.
We can approximate from a psilocybin mushroom study:
At a dosage of 200 micrograms of LSD17 in a therapeutic clinical environment, we might expect 86% of people to experience some extreme fear,18 for an LSD-adjusted (increase time to account for longer trip with LSD vs psilocybin) average of around ~22 minutes of strong anxiety19, and we might expect around ~65% to report a persisting positive increase in mood from this dosage assuming they had first tried 35 micrograms, then 67, then 133, then 20018
At a dosage of 133 micrograms17 in a therapeutic clinical environment, we might expect 14% of people to experience some extreme fear,18 for an LSD-adjusted average of around ~4 minutes of strong anxiety 19, and we might expect around ~60% to report a persisting positive increase in mood from this dosage assuming they had first tried 35 micrograms, then 67, then 133 18
At a dosage of 67 micrograms17 in a therapeutic clinical environment, we might expect 0% of people to experience some extreme fear,18 for an LSD-adjusted average of around ~2 minutes of strong anxiety19, and we might expect around ~45% to report a persisting positive increase in mood from this dosage assuming they had first tried 35 micrograms, then 6718
Challenging or "bad" acid trips can be most beneficial if they are short, but difficult.8
"Multiple regression analysis showed degree of difficulty was positively associated, and duration was negatively associated, with enduring increases in well-being."8

"Say hi, tell us your substance and dose, and describe your issue.
If no one responds within 30 seconds, say ~tripsit and someone will be with you immediately."
Also, see these two calming videos for if you are having a "bad" trip:
Alan Watts: The Mind is a Vicious Cycle
Bob Ross, The Joy of Painting (credit to /u/Damnaged and all others on /r/LSD)
"For example, a recent meta-analysis of six randomized clinical trials of treatment for alcoholism conducted between 1966–1970 found that a single dose of LSD [acid] reduced the probability of alcohol misuse almost two-fold relative to comparison conditions (Krebs and Johansen, 2012)."9 20
There is less medical research into LSD (acid) vs psilocybin (shrooms), because psilocybin is less stigmatized, and psilocybin also has a shorter duration, which is easier for researchers as with psilocybin they can spend more like 8 hours with a participant instead of having to spend ~16 hours with the participant.
Researchers are also interested in studying LSD microdosing, which involves taking around 10 micrograms of LSD, often with the goal of boosting mood or boosting productivity / entering a flow state. See this article for more.
With psilocybin (we would expect similar results for LSD) for cancer-related emotional distress, "83 percent said it [psilocybin + psychotherapy] increased their well-being or life satisfaction moderately or very much, and 89 percent said it lead to moderate, strong, or extreme improvements in their behaviors. Of the 90 total sessions conducted during the study, none were rated as having decreased well-being or life satisfaction."11
Watch this video, this video, or this video to get a sense for the therapeutic uses of LSD - these videos are using psilocybin, but they should be useful to anyone evaluating LSD, too.
See our page on Psychedelic Therapy: Beneficial Things To Know.
While not LSD, magic mushrooms are decently similar in effects and therapeutic potential to LSD.
It is our understanding that magic truffles are legal in the Netherlands, and in Jamaica magic mushrooms are either outright legal or the laws don't seem to be enforced.

Thank you to Matthew Johnson, Bill Richards, and Roland Griffiths, for all of their work, and particularly their safety research.
These guidelines are designed to maximize the chance of lasting positive benefits, and to minimize the chance of any offputting experience.
Many LSD users are instead seeking to optimize fun instead of lasting positive benefits and safety, in which case some of these guidelines may not apply. For example, if optimizing more for fun and less for safety, a user may prefer not to use a blindfold and headphones, and may choose to drop acid at a festival or in nature instead of in a safe home environment.
We believe the most important tips that should be followed by everyone regardless of their purpose for using acid are:
Avoid with LSD-dangerous health conditions
Avoid drugs that interact with LSD
Have a trusted, sober guide who is experienced in supporting psychedelic sessions
Respect psychedelics
Test your LSD
These safe use guidelines are based off research into the clinical and research use of psychedelics.
"Persisting adverse reactions are rare when research is conducted along these guidelines. Incautious research may jeopardize participant safety and future research."5
👨⚕ 1. I have no LSD-dangerous health conditions
💉 2. I'm not taking medicines that may interact with LSD
⚖ 3. I will start with 30-70 micrograms if I want to maximize positive long-term benefits
💯 4. I have purchased an Ehrlich's reagent test kit, or I at least have reviews of my LSD's purity
😇 5. I have a trusted, experienced, sober guide who is willing to prepare fully and be with me for 16 hours
🏠 6. I'll take it in a safe, pleasant, and familiar environment
😄 7. I'm going to wait until I'm in a good mindset and have been for a few weeks
📝 8. I've read the "prepare yourself" section
🕶 9. I have an eyeshade and headphones
🙏 10. I deeply understand why psychedelics should be treated with respect
🗓 11. I won't trip again until I feel I'm fully re-adjusted to regular life after my previous trip
We believe the most important tips that should be followed by everyone regardless of their purpose for taking LSD are:
Avoid with certain health conditions
Serious risks:
Death or injurity due to ingesting fake LSD (i.e. not pure LSD).10
Doing something unsafe while on the drug. Users may not have their regular common sense about them, and may cause minor or serious harm to themselves or others.21
Psychotic episodes if you have a pre-disposition to mental illness5
These risks can be reduced to near zero with proper precautions.
It's also preferrable and possible to reduce the risk of having a bad trip.
LSD is probably one of the most mythologized and demonised drugs, and its history is full of episodes which are as outlandish as the stories, such as the illegal experiments with the drug carried out by American and British intelligence agencies. Countless urban myths exist about bizarre and frightening things people did whilst tripping.
"Bad Acid"
People have believed in batches of so-called "bad acid" which are blamed for horrible effects and bad trips. Doses of different batches can be very variable and 'bad' experiences with LSD can usually be related to unwanted high doses, irresponsibility or unpreparedness and/or the ingestion of a different substance. There are no different types of LSD.
LSD stays in your spinal fluid, causing flashbacks years later
LSD does not stay in your body for long. Flashbacks and HPPD are poorly understood, but the symptoms occur in the absence of LSD.
Orange Juice/ Vitamin C can be used as an antidote to stop a bad trip
This is not true, there are no easy home remedies to end a trip, although doctors use benzodiazepines to ease agitation. However, people are very suggestible when tripping and this can contribute to the perception of such effects.
You can be declared legally insane if you take LSD more than seven times
There is an old rumour that taking LSD more than seven times means that you can be declared legally insane. This is not true and there are plenty of people who have taken LSD more than seven times and are not insane.
People going blind staring at the sun
The rumour about people going blind from taking LSD and staring at the sun was created by a TV show in the 1960s. However, there have been a few case reports of people partially damaging their eyes from staring at the sun whilst on LSD. People do strange things whilst on LSD and LSD dilates your pupils which exposes your eyes to more light than usual.
People think they can fly and jump out of a window
People have fallen out of windows and off cliffs whilst on LSD, but these were probably accidents due to impaired judgement, or suicides, rather than thinking they could fly.

Psychedelic Therapy Centers
If you're looking for a legal way to do psychedelic therapy in the meantime before psilocybin is approved by the FDA, here's a list of psychedelic retreat providers and psychedelic therapy centers. Trusted Retreat Finder isn't a retreat or a psychedelic therapy center themselves, but they help people find legal retreats, therapy centers and guides. They only recommend retreats and guides in places that there's a legal psychedelic substance for psychedelic therapy, so primarily the Netherlands and Jamaica.
