Tim Martin knows exactly what he's doing. / Members' letter #17
The Wetherspoon boss defends a world where immigration is not a right of individuals, but a privilege of employers.
Tim Martin, who's tied with James Dyson for Biggest Brexiteer in British Business, supplied my Twitter feed with easy outrage this week. In an interview with The Telegraph, the founder of pub chain Wetherspoon called for a visa scheme to address staff shortages in his industry. The end of free movement, compounded by the departure of many Europeans who lost their jobs during the pandemic, threatens the recovery of the UK hospitality sector. Easing the arrival of workers from near neighbours in Europe would help, Martin said. Who'll be pouring the pints if not Romanians?
The interview was custom-made for Schadenfreude. Anti-EU businessman finds out the EU was good for business after all. Hampering immigration hampers hiring immigrants, who knew? Brexiteer regrets Brexit. Remainer Twitter, which is to be honest 95% of my timeline, was a festival of 'I told you so's. Allow me to be contrarian: Tim Martin did not backtrack.

"Ask the Bishop" – 7/29/2020

The NI Open is Northern Ireland's national annual professional golf tournament and one of its core international tourism events, which continues to grow every year. The 2019 event will take place from 12th - 18th August at its perennial home, Galgorm Spa & Golf Resort.
The NI Open has the full support of Niall Horan; Niall's golf management company Modest! Golf have been an event partner since 2016 and as a massive golf fan, Niall is very involved in the event.
Moving forward, the NI Open will continue to develop into a homegrown global event that will be the greatest example of 'The Open Legacy' following the Open Championship's return to Royal Portrush in 2019 via the introduction of a combined Men's & Ladies' professional tournament, which will be the first of its kind in Europe.
Massereene GC will co-host the event in 2019 - a second course is necessary due to the introduction of Ladies in 2019.
This Par-72 course is nestled in the heart of the historic Galgorm Castle Estate, providing a mature setting which provices an easy, relaxing rhythm that makes playing golf so pleasurable.
The Par-3 course is on-site and offers golfers of all experience and abilities the opportunity to enjoy 9 holes in beautiful surroundings that sweep down to the River Maine.
Located next to the Castle championship course, the 6-hole Pitch & Putt is the perfect layout for all members of the family, young and old, to give golf a go.
Our Golf Academy incorporates a 24-bay floodlit driving range, short game area and putting green where the PGA staff offer comprehensive practice and teaching facilities.


By transforming complex geographic variables into a visual representation, GIS reveals relationships, patterns, and trends that help tell a story.
Problem Synopsis: By transforming complex variables into maps and other visual presentations, geographic information systems (GIS) reveal relationships, patterns, and trends that help tell a story. Although GIS has been widely used in business, government, and other fields, its use in the field of childhood obesity has been limited and poorly coordinated.
Synopsis of the Work: The Center for Applied Research and Environmental Systems (CARES) at the University of Missouri–Columbia sought to change that. It developed the Childhood Obesity Prevention Geographic Information System (COGIS) and launched it in January 2011.
The web-based mapping tool allows users to display the dynamic connections among people, the physical and social environment, and their health and well-being. Practicable Legacy Strategies, a public policy and consulting firm based in Philadelphia, monitored and supported the launch of COGIS.
COGIS has thousands of layers of national, state, county, and local data on children and youth, poverty, education, civic engagement, food, health, housing, the environment, and transportation.
Initial users included 117 RWJF national program offices and grantees focused on childhood obesity, including those working through Healthy Kids, Healthy Communities, the Safe Routes to School National Partnership, Salud America, and Active Living Research.
Practicable Legacy Strategies developed a special issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine (spring 2012) on using spatial mapping to improve health and promote interdisciplinary approaches to reducing childhood obesity.

In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, technological advances in molecular genetics made it possible to measure and modify the genome directly. 2 Although it is hard to deny genetic influences on human behavior, anyone who tries to explain what a person does in terms of simple biochemical differences is likely to be disappointed. [3][4], Modern-day behavioural genetics began with Sir Francis Galton, a nineteenth-century intellectual and cousin of Charles Darwin. 2017 of small sample size or absence of replication none of [23], Some research designs used in behavioural genetic research are variations on family designs (also known as pedigree designs), including twin studies and adoption studies.

Berenbaum, Adriene M. Beltz Is there good concrete evidence of this? The field of behavioural genetics, as founded by Galton, was ultimately undermined by another of Galton's intellectual contributions, the founding of the eugenics movement in 20th century society. It examines behavior patterns which are familial and hereditary in origin. . {\displaystyle P} Twin studies such as Eyesenck's belong within a field known as behavioral genetics, which studies the heritability of traits in animals and humans. 2 This is striking given that schizophrenia is believed to have a basis in brain biology. c Environmental influences can be divided into two classes, shared and nonshared (or unique) environment. Expert Answer . = Questions arise at a variety of levels of inquiry, and there are different methods that have been developed to answer diff e rent types of questions. [73] Instead, geneticists use concepts such as ancestry, which is more rigorously defined. The Show transcribed image text. Behavioral Genetics is the scientific study of the interplay between the genetic and environmental contributions to behavior.Often referred to as the nature/nurture debate, Gottlieb (1998, 2000, 2002) suggests an analytic framework for this debate that recognizes the interplay between the environment, behavior, and genetic expression. {\displaystyle (g\times \epsilon )} Modern approaches use maximum likelihood to estimate the genetic and environmental variance components. ", "Heritability is caused by many genes of small effect. ) The video is a part of the project British Scientists produced in collaboration between Serious Science and the British Council.. My interest is in behavioural genetics. [3] This fact has been discovered primarily through genome-wide association studies of complex behavioural phenotypes, including results on substance use,[60][61] personality,[62] fertility,[63] schizophrenia,[36] depression,[62][64] and endophenotypes including brain structure[65] and function. The problem is that many characteristics are affected by multiple genes. Do Our Genes Really Affect Our Relationships With Pets? ( 2 [72] Genome wide association studies are often implemented with simplifying statistical assumptions, such as additivity, which may be statistically robust but unrealistic for some behaviors. describe the effect of having a risk allele on the individual who harbours it, relative to an individual who does not harbour a risk allele. thinking behavior that involves knowing and perceiving is calledintelligence or cognition. [2] Plato, for example, argued in The Republic that selective breeding among the citizenry to encourage the development of some traits and discourage others, what today might be called eugenics, was to be encouraged in the pursuit of an ideal society. Z Gene environment interaction. Regulatory genes. 2 However, the general conclusion that shared environmental effects are negligible does not rest on twin studies alone. [3] For example, the notion of heritability is easily misunderstood to imply causality, or that some behavior or condition is determined by one's genetic endowment. of variation in the phenotype. O [3] The field once again gained status as a distinct scientific discipline through the publication of early texts on behavioural genetics, such as Calvin S. Hall's 1951 book chapter on behavioural genetics, in which he introduced the term "psychogenetics",[7] which enjoyed some limited popularity in the 1960s and 1970s. For example, a parent's behavior toward a child diagnosed with depression is partly shaped by the parent's genetic vulnerability to depression. If you're not under the impression that genetic predisposition for behavior, not necessarily a 1:1 correlation between genes and behavior, than you're just ignoring the science. a . Findings from behavioural genetic research have broadly impacted modern understanding of the role of genetic and environmental influences on behaviour. 2 The main problem is that there is confirmation bias. Apart from these scientific findings, researchers were impressed by many obvious similarities between twins when they were reunited for the first time after being separated from birth. Genetics and Behavior ... For example, scientists estimate that in deciding how tall a person will be, inherited genes have nine times more influence than the environment a person grows up in (which may influence such factors as a person's nutrition). O Speed of thought, problem-solving skills, and the ability to make connections are different aspects of this behavior. Animal behavior genetic studies are considered more reliable than are studies on humans, because animal experiments allow for more variables to be manipulated in the laboratory. {\displaystyle e^{2}} e These traits are difficult to define ob… ) for dizygotic twins. V Many of the pairs dressed similarly or had the same haircut, or glasses. [72] The effect of early rearing environment can therefore be evaluated to some extent in such a study, by comparing twin similarity for those twins separated early and those separated later. ) in human studies are small, negligible, or zero for the vast majority of behavioural traits and psychiatric disorders, whereas estimates of non-shared environmental effects ( Psychology Today © 2020 Sussex Publishers, LLC, Eating Disorders in Gender-Expansive Individuals. ", This page was last edited on 5 December 2020, at 22:36. Selective breeding and the domestication of animals is perhaps the earliest evidence that humans considered the idea that individual differences in behaviour could be due to natural causes. When using the Falconer variance decomposition ( {\displaystyle c^{2}} , where R [47] Thus, observing a correlation between an environmental risk factor and a health outcome is not necessarily evidence for environmental influence on the health outcome. If there are six genes involved, identical twins will be the same because they have all six genes. R In response to general concerns about the replicability of psychological research, behavioral geneticists Robert Plomin, John C. DeFries, Valerie Knopik, and Jenae Neiderhiser published a review of the ten most well-replicated findings from behavioral genetics research. 2 DOI: 10.1007/978-0-387-76727-7 E-mail Citation » Intended for students of genetics, psychology, and psychiatry. equations one can obtain an estimate of the additive genetic variance, or heritability, c ) We must also recognize that identical twins are a special case whose relevance to the behavior of ordinary people is disputable. [68], On the other hand, when assessing effects according to the g β A pervasive assumption in evolutionary psychology is that how we act is affected by the genes we carry. 2 [1] Plato and Aristotle each speculated on the basis and mechanisms of inheritance of behavioural characteristics. Honeybees have a complex sequence of hygienic behavior that consists of digging out infected larvae and chucking them out of the hive — a sequence that is understood in terms of Mendelian genetics with one gene for uncapping and another for removing the dead larvae (2). [69], Finally, there are classical behavioural disorders that are genetically simple in their etiology, such as Huntington's disease. Dropping the gene by environment interaction for simplicity (typical in twin studies) and fully decomposing the An important assumption of the twin model is the equal environment assumption[25] that monozygotic twins have the same shared environmental experiences as dizygotic twins. Warrior genes affect violent behavior only in the small category of individuals who grow up in extremely abusive homes. {\displaystyle R^{2}} [3] A wide variety of different methodological approaches are used in behavioral genetic research,[14] only a few of which are outlined below. ) are moderate to large. One example of this is the trait of intelligence. [46], A general limitation of observational studies is that the relative influences of genes and environment are confounded. + [citation needed], Historically, perhaps the most controversial subject has been on race and genetics. Instead, heritability is a statement about population level correlations. = and Nonetheless, behavioral genetics continues to hold out the promise of better understanding the biological basis of behavior--hence the field receives strong support from the National Institutes of Health and other grant-making institutions concerned with the intersection of behavior and health. 2 {\displaystyle \epsilon } {\displaystyle e^{2}} ) genetic effects. [74], Qualitative research has fostered arguments that behavioural genetics is an ungovernable field without scientific norms or consensus, which fosters controversy. In general, much of the impact of a family's environment on a child with a mental disorder is due to nonshared rather than shared interactions. The most common research methodologies are family studies, twin studies, and adoption studies. The primary goal of behavioural genetics is to investigate the nature and origins of individual differences in behaviour. ) The most intriguing findings on this issue came from twin studies. M ", "The heritability of intelligence increases throughout development. Genetics of addictive behavior - Gorwood et al Dialogues in Clinical Neuroscience - V ol 19 . [76], The scientific assumptions on which parts of behavioral genetic research are based have also been criticized as flawed. Also called behavioral genetics. , and Through his work, Galton also "introduced multivariate analysis and paved the way towards modern Bayesian statistics" that are used throughout the sciences—launching what has been dubbed the "Statistical Enlightenment".[6]. ", "Most measures of the 'environment' show significant genetic influence. R [56], Given the conclusion that all researched behavioural traits and psychiatric disorders are heritable, biological siblings will always tend to be more similar to one another than will adopted siblings. r 2 Striking as such stories are, they remain mere anecdotes and have no scientific value. 1 Plomin, R. (1990). g [45] Such behavioural genetic designs may be considered a subset of natural experiments,[46] quasi-experiments that attempt to take advantage of naturally occurring situations that mimic true experiments by providing some control over an independent variable. 1.0 is the effect of genes, Rearranging and substituting the However, the genetic control of behavior has proven more difficult to characterize in humans than in other organisms.

With a day off Friday, we blast off for the Space Center just south of Houston. The Center has been updated quite a bit since my last visit and Storm has never been here so he is looking forward to the trip. Our favorite display is Independence Plaza where a shuttle mounted on the SCA (Shuttle Carrier Aircraft) 747 can be toured from top to bottom (or vice versa).
From a pilot's perspective I think that the guys who flew the carrier aircraft were amazing. They were not allowed to fly through rain, turbulence or anything that might damage the shuttle. They had to precisely plan a route that avoided those things while dealing with double the fuel burn of an airliner. On top of that, they had to grease a landing with another airplane mounted on top of them. I am impressed!
After a brief scuffle with a young photographer who in spite of our objections futilely insists that he must take our picture in front of a green screen before we can take the NASA tram tour, we finally board the tram for a visit to the Historic Mission Control Room used for the Apollo Flights. (Note: the pictures are not for security but to coercively sell souvenir photos as folks return from the ride.) The tram excursion gives us a quick overview of NASA grounds, then we are dropped off in Rocket Park to tour at our leisure the large building which now houses a fully restored Saturn V rocket.
After work on Saturday we rush off to Brazoria Bend State Park to catch the George Observatory star gazing event that occurs each Saturday night from 6pm – 10pm. The moonless, dark sky is perfect for viewing, but the admission is a little pricey for an evening outing as they charge $7 per person to enter the park and $6 per senior to look through the telescopes. Here is a money saving tip: Don't pay and wait in a long line to look through the big telescopes. On the patio surrounding the big scopes, amateur astronomers set up multiple smaller telescopes pointed toward the same stars, nebula and planets as the larger scopes.
There is no charge to look through the amateur's telescopes and the view shows just as much detail as the larger scopes (at least to this untrained eye). As a bonus, the owner's are very knowledgeable and eager to explain what you are seeing. While we are here, a Planetarium speaker gives a presentation using his super duper laser pointer (we ask and learn that astronomers can legally point them skyward) to direct our eyes toward amazing stars and planets as he explains the significance and history of each one. On our visit we see the Owl Cluster in the Cassiopeia constellation, the Orion Nebula and the crescent shape of Venus as it passes between the Earth and the Sun. As for Brazoria Bend State Park we hope to return in the daylight to explore this park which is billed as a "Nature Lover's Paradise" and from what we were able to see driving in appears to be a lovely and spacious place to visit or camp.

head of data science British Glass is organising a one-day seminar on funding for decarbonisation and energy efficiency work on Thursday 2 November (north of England, venue TBC) – which will be attended by British Glass members' and non-members. Torquay's Fenster Fabrications is set to feature in an upcoming episode of ITV 1's hit home improvement show Love Your Home and Garden. To complete the stylish extension, a number of the property's existing hardwood windows have also been sympathetically replaced. Tasked with identifying a system that could match the visual appeal of the original wooden frames whilst offering improved quality, usability and security, the Dortech team took the innovative step of suggesting a change to aluminium. After reviewing alternative products on the market, Senior's high quality PURe® aluminium windows were found to significantly outperform cheaper aluminium systems and offer the perfect solution in terms of both performance and aesthetics. "Our entry for this award is a thank you to them for their vision and willingness to do things differently. It's also a thank you to BEIS for the courage and far-sightedness they have shown in working constructively with industry to fit their approach to the needs and circumstances of UK manufacturing." Ms Stephens continues: "The new extension has provided a fantastic and really flexible space that thanks to the new PURe® patio doors and windows, can be enjoyed whatever the weather. It's great to be able to open up the living space and enjoy the close access we now have to the garden but even when the blustery weather that we are so familiar with here in the Yorkshire Dales takes hold, the glazing has provided us with a peaceful and cosy retreat. It's the perfect space for both work and relaxation and I couldn't be happier!" Senior Architectural Systems' stunning PURe® FOLD patio aluminium doors have helped add character to the Yorkshire home of USA Today best-selling novelist Susan Stephens by providing the perfect setting to relax with a good book. "We're very proud of the way that the glass industry has come together to face the challenge of energy efficiency and decarbonisation - which will continue to define all manufacturing and markets for the coming decades.

A Leave of Absence agreement is a written agreement between an employer and an employee. It documents the terms and conditions of an employee's leave of absence from a business. A leave of absence agreement grants an employee an absence from their job for a specific length of time, so they may attend to other matters. The employer agrees to hold the employee's job (or, in some cases, a similar position) for the employee upon return from leave. The employee agrees to return at a specified time.
Regular updates regarding the purpose of the leave.
Defining the nature and length of a leave of absence is an excellent first step when creating a leave of absence agreement. Keep in mind that the more detailed you are, the more effective and comprehensive it will be.
There are generally two different types of leaves of absence contemplated by a leave of absence agreement. These include extended leave and intermittent leave.
Extended leave refers to a leave of absence for several weeks or months to address a life situation, such as the birth of a child, the need to settle the estate after the loss of a parent, dealing with illness, or other situation approved by the employer.
Please note that Intermittent Leave is not covered under the scope of our LegalTemplates document.
Intermittent leave, on the other hand, is a request for either a reduction in hours per day, or a reduction of days worked for reasons such as ongoing education or training. For example, an employee may request intermittent leave where they work 6 hours, instead of 8, each day for the next two months.
In the case of medically related intermittent leave, the request may involve attending a standing medical appointment, or a shorter work day while recovering from an illness, such as cancer.
The sample leave of absence agreement below details an agreement between 'ABC, Inc.' and an employee, 'Kimiko Uehara.' ABC, Inc. agrees to grant Kimiko Uehara a leave of absence due to personal issues and describes the conditions for the leave.
Leave of absence agreements benefit both employer and employee in different ways.
The conditions which convert a voluntary leave to a termination.
Incorporating above definitions and parameters will help protect your business by clearly defining obligations and responsibilities of both parties.
If you are planning to take a leave from employment, a leave of absence agreement protects you and your position in the company. Leave of absence agreements are contracts. They are a written guarantee you won't lose your job, your seniority, or your place in the company as a result of your leave.
It also details expectations about benefits, conditions which must be met during the leave and immediately prior to return from leave, and how an employee's leave may transform into a termination.
A leave of absence agreement defines the terms and conditions of a leave. Any time an employee takes a leave of absence, a written agreement defining the terms of the leave and the expectations of both parties protects the rights of both.
Reducing leave agreements to writing protects both employers and employees. However, there's no reason to execute a leave of absence agreement in every situation where an employee needs to take leave. Employers are encouraged to adopt a standard form and protocol for employees requesting such a leave.
Without a leave of absence agreement, employees have no guarantee their job, or a similar position, will be available for them when they are ready to return from leave. Employers face uncertainty about when or whether an employee will return.
Without reducing the agreement to writing, unintended consequences often present themselves. Failing to use a written document detailing the terms of the leave, leaves the initial intentions ,and agreed upon obligations, to one's memory, making it highly susceptible to change or breach.
For example, miscommunication may result in the loss of benefits, if the employee fails to pay an employer their agreed upon share. Alternatively, an employee may not understand a doctor's note is required in order to return to work, resulting in unexpected delays.
Disputes regarding the terms of the leave may result in unhappy employees, employers short of staff they need to complete the work, and, in some cases, lawsuits.
On balance, the time it takes to execute a leave of absence agreement is significantly less than the time and heartache (not to mention cost) of litigating an issue which could have been addressed in an executed written agreement.
An employer has the option of using a leave of absence agreement in any situation they believe merits granting a leave of absence. However, the most common reasons for using a leave of absence agreement include the same reasons listed under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). Of course, the FMLA only covers employers and employees who meet certain criteria.
A situation arising out of an emergency related to a spouse, child, or parent on active duty status.
Keep in mind that an employer is not required to offer extended bereavement leave. However, if an employee wanted to provide this type of leave, they are free to do so.
In addition to federal law, all states have state specific leave laws. These laws provide for various situations, such as leave for parents to attend school related activities, or recovery time for bone marrow donors.
For extended leave, a leave of absence agreement should include both the start date and the anticipated end date of the leave. If the leave length is uncertain, such as when dealing with a health condition, an end date should still be included, along with any language detailing extensions.
Modifications: the circumstances, if any, under which an extension request modifies the employer's obligation to hold the same position, as opposed to another position within the company.
The consequences if the employee doesn't meet the terms and conditions of the agreement.
The consequences of the employee not paying their portion of the benefits.
A leave of absence agreement should specify whether an employer anticipates holding the employee's current job. Additionally, the agreement should detail whether there is a possibility that no position will be available when the employee is ready to return.
If this is a possibility, the agreement should address alternatives. Will the employer offer them the next available position? Will the employer consider them for the next available position without application? Both the employer and the employee should know the benefits and the potential risks involved.
Sometimes, a given benefit or condition does not apply. Addressing the issue is the best approach, rather than remaining silent on any issue where the parties may disagree.
I would like to spend three weeks hiking and camping in the Boundary Waters in northern Minnesota. Can I make my employer sign a leave of absence agreement?
No. Hiking and camping are not activities covered under the FMLA, nor the American Disabilities Act. Your employer is not required to grant you unpaid leave for this activity. However, you could request an unpaid sabbatical, since there is nothing prohibiting your employer from entering into an unpaid leave agreement, if he or she is so inclined.
I have been saving my vacation time for years. My sister's house burned down. She needs help filling out insurance forms, finding a new place to live, and refurnishing her house. I want to use my four months of saved vacation time to help her. Do I need a leave of absence agreement?
No. A leave of absence agreement is designed for situations where you are taking leave not covered by sick time, vacation time, or personal leave time.

This is a slightly technical post which I just wanted to put out there to assist anyone who may run into the problem. If you're not using Linux Containers, you can safely skip over this post.
While using lxc, you may find that certain LXC commands fail to run properly which means you are unable to run various lxc utility commands like lxc-stop or lxc-ls. If you're running lots of containers on a host (like we do with Viaduct), you need to identify which container is causing issues.
To do this, you need to find which container is causing the command to hang. To do this, you can use strace on the command which is hanging.
If this is caused by a crashed container, you should have hung on a line starting with recvmsg. Look up a few lines to find the corresponding connect line. This will look like the below and will contain the name of the container which isn't responding.
From here you can determine which container is having issues. To resolve this, you may be able to simply the kill the associated processes. As lxc-stop isn't working, you'll need to identify the processes using the ps command on the host machine. The command below will return a list of processes in a tree format allowing you to see which processes belong to a given lxc-start command. Just send a kill -9 to the child processes to stop the container.

I'm writing this a few hours after my trip to recall the details as clearly as possible. I'd arranged to take a trip with a friend. Unfortunately, life crises intervened, and he canceled at the last minute. I was all prepared for a trip and keen to do it. I'd prepared Syrian Rue, and honeyed dried mushrooms. I was disappointed at the cancellation, but instead went to a friend's Beltane celebration party (We were in the Southern Hemisphere, and Beltane is a Spring festival). Also there, by bizarre coincidence was another friend who I had promised to trip with. When the party ran down, I took him to a mutual friend's house to trip.
At this point, I should say that I have done mushrooms many times, but Syrian Rue and mushrooms only once before, with Willy (not his real name!). That time, several years ago, I entered a real Nirvana. This time, with Willy and Ian, I should have just had a pleasant mushroom trip, always easy and smooth, and exploring a connection with Ian on his first mushroom trip. Stupidly, I decided to take the Syrian Rue I'd prepared. A big mistake to do this when stressed! I should have waited for a totally free weekend to de-stress first.
I took a rounded teaspoon of Syrian rue seeds (pre-ground) and about a teaspoon and a half of dried honeyed mushrooms (difficult to count, but about 15 caps of Psilocybe azurecens, a smallish woodchip species). Ian had the same amount of mushrooms but no Rue.
Syrian Rue seems to be a gatekeeper to Nirvana. Mushrooms allow me to glimpse it, but Rue shoots me into it fully. The downside is that to get there, I was forced to confront my own soul, warts and all. After maybe 40 minutes, the trip came on strongly. Soon it was a Bad Trip. I wanted to vomit out whatever I had left in my stomach but couldn't. I was there for the ride. I felt tired and desperately wanted to sleep, but couldn't. My mind went inwards, into recesses of my brain I couldn't reach normally. I faced my id, stress I hadn't realised I was holding. Negative emotions, anger, petty jealousies, character flaws, all laid out bare. I went outside to touch the Earth. Normally with mushrooms I would feel a deep connection with life, peaceful and beautiful. This time I felt the Earth rise up and pound me like a stormy sea, rejecting me. I felt anger, and reeled back inside. I had to face my flaws and accept them. Ian and Willy were there for me, but I had to wrestle my own demons.
Slowly, I accepted my faults and embraced them. Then it seemed, the mushroom magic came on at last. Not just magic, but an alternate universe, just slightly outside normal reality. A place where only love and joy exists, and it flowed through me strongly. I felt connected to the Earth, life, the Universe. I felt connected to the two men I was with, Ian particularly. I could see into his soul, and pass a little of what I was experiencing to him. He saw into my soul too, the joy that shone out. The universe was made of impossible, beautiful colours. Purples and turquoises, but impossibly vivid, colours that don't exist in the real world. Time passed slowly, five minutes stretched into an hour. The joy I felt made all the details of my life seem both totally irrelevant and amazingly profound at the same time. I shone like a beacon. Touch was the essence of pleasure, feeling every detail of Ian and Willy's skin, feeling power pass through my fingertips.
My thoughts were crystal clear. Nirvana.
I'd brought along a Mandala from Nepal, the Dalai Lama's Mandala design. It sat on a table lit by a candle. Looking at it draws me toward Nirvana at the centre, usually. I was in Nirvana, though, but Ian and Willy were satellites orbiting. The Mandala showed them a glimpse of the place I was, showed them the magic, and the wisdom of Buddhism, I think. They were captivated by joy. All told, I was in Nirvana two hours, or days (subjectively!). Then the inevitable fall from paradise to the everyday universe. Hard, slow. I wanted to sleep and couldn't. Time continued to pass slower than normally possible. Eventually, by mid-morning I was down, 12 hours after taking the mushrooms.
I feel a peace and deep happiness today, but it was hard! It'll be a long time before I mess with Syrian Rue again.

The latest edition of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform, released Wednesday, contains a number of new tools to minimize the amount of low-level configuration that must be done to get the complex stack running.
An open source project with numerous contributors, OpenStack is an integrated collection of management tools for running a cloud service, for internal or external use.
The software, first created by NASA and Rackspace in 2010, has found a home in a wide variety of businesses, including eBay, Comcast, American Express, and Disney, among others.
Like most open source software, the base OpenStack package still requires a lot of expertise to configure and maintain.
As a result, Red Hat is one of a number of companies that offer commercial-grade distributions of OpenStack to help ease the process, competing with the likes of Hewlett-Packard, Ubuntu, IBM, Mirantis, VMware and Oracle.
The fresh Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform version 7 is based on the Kilo release of OpenStack, issued in April.
The Red Hat distribution comes with a number of additional tools that should make the software stack more palatable to enterprise use.
A new feature provides a way to install OpenStack in a cloud environment, as well as check to ensure the installation was completed correctly.
For daily use, the software stack is designed to provide a single way to easily provision cloud computing resources. Based on the open source TripleO software, this tool also provides the basis for orchestrating complex operations so they run automatically.
Mission-critical applications that need to be running all of the time on OpenStack can take advantage of another new feature that monitors a workload and, should it fail, move operations to another host.
Data backups have also been expedited, thanks to a new support for snapshots that can be copied to NFS and POSIX file systems.
Numerous improvements have also been made to streamline networking functions of the software.
Red Hat provided more options for opening and closing network traffic ports at the virtual machine level, which gives enterprises more flexibility in securing their virtual machines. OpenStack's support for the next generation IPv6 Internet protocol has been improved as well.
Red Hat collaborated with Cisco to assure that its OpenStack would work well with the Cisco Unified Computing System, an architecture for managing fleets of servers as a single entity.
