Q: usage of interface.super.print() in java8 In java8, we are using interface.super.
Considering the below points

*

*There are 2 interfaces but none of the interfaces inherit to another.

*There is implementation class which is inheriting both of those 2 interfaces.

*Each interface has a default method but the name is same for both of those methods.

Now in this scenario, in the implementation class it is forcing me to override the default print() method. And in the body I need to use either
Interface_one.super.print();
or
Interface_two.super.print();
I am new to Java8, I would like to understand the strange behaviours of using the interface.super. Also the implementation of print() method forcing the statements Interface_one.super.print(); or Interface_two.super.print();
 public interface Interface_one {
    public void method1();

    default void print(){
        System.out.println("this is default print in first interface");
    }
}

public interface Interface_two {
public void method2();

    default void print(){
        System.out.println("this is default print in second interface");
    }
}

public class ImplementedClass implements Interface_one, Interface_two{

    @Override
    public void method1() {
        System.out.println("Implemented Method 1");

    }

    @Override
    public void method2() {
        print();
        System.out.println("Implemented Method 2");
    }

    @Override
    public void print() {
        Interface_one.super.print();
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new ImplementedClass().method2();
    }
}

A: If you inherit from two interfaces A and B, then A.super.foo() calls the foo (default) method of the A interface.
When you implement two interfaces which each have default methods with the same name, it's ambiguous.  You need to resolve that ambiguity by explicitly stating which of the two default methods you'd like your implementation to use.  You do this by overriding the method in question and calling the "parent" interface's implementation directly.  You do this with the new syntax: ParentInterfaceName.super.methodName();

A: One more thing : there is no ambiguity when overriding method as accepted answer is saying, you have to use A.super or B.super only if you want to reuse default implementation , then you tell which print() you want to use as they are two. You can omit calling any of default methods and write completely new implementation or even make that method (and class) abstract.

A: Java 8 , allows interfaces to have default implementation, this functionality had been given as a privilege for those who were using abstract class and want to replace them with CODE TO INTERFACE,
The least concrete class is forced to have its own implementation in case of any ambiguity. If there is no ambiguity then it simply uses its parents behaviour and does not forces to implement.
By using the same method name here we have created ambiguity.
you can opt for any implementation like below.
@Override
    public void  print(){}

If we implement hierarchical dependency.it will work.
interface Interface_one {
    default void print() {
        System.out.println("this is default print in first interface");
    }
}

interface Interface_two extends Interface_one {
    default void print() {
        System.out.println("this is default print in second interface");
    }
}

public class MultipleInterfaces implements Interface_one, Interface_two {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        MultipleInterfaces multipleInterfaces = new MultipleInterfaces();
        Interface_one one = new MultipleInterfaces();
        Interface_two two = new MultipleInterfaces();
        multipleInterfaces.print();
        one.print();
        two.print();
    }
}

Deep Pipelines for Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion
India OTEC Pipeline
In 1998, Makai was contracted by the National Institute of Ocean Technology (NIOT) in Madras, India, for the conceptual design of the deep water intake pipeline, the effluent pipeline, and the mooring system for an experimental floating OTEC Plant. The analysis included dynamic modeling of pipe bending, shown at right.
The NIOT OTEC barge is scheduled to be 72 meters long and will be supplied 1415 kg/s of deep cold seawater through a 1 meter diameter pipeline from a minimum depth of 1000 meters. The mooring is 1220 meters deep.
In early work, Makai considered several concepts for the pipe and mooring combinations. Basic concepts consisting of multiple point moorings, dynamic station keeping, and single point moors were considered. The design has lead toward a single point moor with the pipeline as a major structural component of that mooring. The pipe is supported at the surface by a large buoy. The OTEC barge can be moored to the buoy and a flexible transfer hose is used to connect the wet sump in the barge to the top of the pipeline below the buoy.
The pipeline material used for the main pipe and the transfer hose is high density polyethylene (HDPE). This material is ideal for this application because of its high flexibility, moderately high strength, high fatigue strength, and corrosion resistance.
The pipeline was designed for long-term pumping loads, for long-term operational dynamic loads, for short-term storm dynamic loads and deployment.
The pipeline and mooring component characteristics were optimized to be suitable under the most severe operating condition (4.25 m significant, 7.3 sec. central period) specified by NIOT and to survive the storm conditions specified by NIOT (8.25m, 12.7 sec). A finite-element dynamic model was used to analyze the pipeline and barge under these and other conditions.
The net result of this work showed that a single point mooring for the NIOT barge is a feasible, practical and cost-effective solution to a very difficult and potentially costly problem. Each critical component was analyzed for feasibility and conceptual design specifications have been generated. The mooring and pipeline can be constructed, deployed and recovered with an adequate safety factor, including determination of RMS fatigue stresses at various areas within the same pipe, to meet NIOT's design goals.
12" Down The Slope CWP
The first down the slope pipeline design by Makai Ocean Engineering was for the Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii at Keahole, Hawaii. This State of Hawaii laboratory was engaged in OTEC research and required a reliable source of deep cold ocean water in order to perform laboratory experiments on heat exchanger bio-fouling and corrosion.
The design criteria for the pipeline called for a low budget, 12" pipeline with a lifetime expectancy of 2 years. Some limited bathymetry and side scan information was available but no on-site observations had been made. Makai's role in the pipeline was to provide the design, develop the deployment plan, monitor the financing, locate and purchase the materials, be directly in charge of the pipeline assembly and provide technical direction during the at-sea deployment.
Because of the very deep bottom with an unknown roughness, the Makai design for the pipeline evolved toward the inverse catenary approach (see 40″ CWP design, a later but similar pipeline). The inverse catenary approach takes advantage of the buoyancy, flexibility and high fatigue strength of the polyethylene material in order to void the primary design problem: a very steep and rough sea bottom.
The 12′ pipeline was assembled in a large harbor 20 miles north of Keahole Point. The pipe fusing, attachment of all components, launching into the harbor and testing was completed by Makai Ocean Engineering. Once ready for deployment, Hawaiian Dredging & Construction served as marine contractor to tow the pipeline to Keahole Point and place it on the bottom.
The basic controlled submergence process used in all the pipelines at Keahole was developed with this first, 12" polyethylene pipe. On the first day of deployment the pipeline was submerged to the bottom to a depth of 500′. On the second day, the catenary portion of the pipeline was added and lowered to the bottom.
Inspection of the 12" pipeline first occurred on its one year anniversary. The pipeline was accurately placed and was functioning well. After over 10 years, this pipeline (designed for two years) was still providing water to NELH. No maintenance had been required in the deep water portion of this pipeline. Only in the shallow water have the anchoring clamps needed replacement and the pumps have been changed. After approximately 12 years, a shackle at the base of the catenary gave way due to corrosion and the catenary was shortened and redeployed in shallower water.
At the time of installation, the catenary concept was a radical deviation from conventional pipeline design. Today, because of the 12" pipeline success and longevity, the catenary approach is generally considered as a viable contender for very large diameter OTEC pipelines.
Down-The Slope 8′ CWP Demonstration and Research
Makai Ocean Engineering served as the primary design engineer for the Phase 3 portion of the OTEC Cold Water Pipe At Sea Test Program. Makai was a subcontractor to Hawaiian Dredging & Construction Company, the prime contractor, on this federal Department of Energy research program. The primary purpose of this study was to instrument, deploy, monitor and analyze an 8-foot diameter test section of a fiberglass reinforce plastic (FRP) pipe on underwater foundations along a 40 degree slope. This deployment was completed in May 1984 and marked the beginning of a 12 month data gathering effort to provide information critical to design of large diameter CWPs for shelf mounted OTEC plants. Following this monitoring period, Makai analyzed the data.
The figures to the right illustrate the in-place pipeline and the assembly process. The demonstration and goal of this project was to develop a down-the-slope pipeline concept utilizing an existing FRP pipeline and to deploy it on a specific coral rubble 40o slope off the Big Island of Hawaii. While the test section of pipe installed was placed in shallow water, the techniques used were applicable to much deeper water.
The design incorporated several features that are necessary for a large diameter down-the-slope pipeline. The rigid pipe was laid in sections of fixed length with a joint between each pipe section. This joint served several purposes:
The joints were easily coupled underwater utilizing remote sensing techniques (video) without divers. This coupling technique was developed for deeper water and was actually more difficult, yet successful, in the shallow water demonstration because of barge surge and heave.
A large FRP ball joints allowed the pipe to rotate or bend to accommodate an irregular bottom.
The joint acted as a seal for the pipeline. The seal was completed by pumping tremie concrete into the pipe joint connector after it was placed on the bottom. The lowered connector was the form.
The joint was also the gravity anchor. The concrete greatly increased the weight and stability of the joint foundation but did not restrict the swiveling or rotating motion of the pipeline. By adding concrete later, the lowering weight was reduced considerably.
The deployment demonstrated the successful handling of very large masses and the precision coupling of these masses utilizing only video camera feedback to the deployment superintendent on the barge. The installed pipeline section is still in place having survived several severe storms thus showing the use of large gravity anchors on a steep coral rubble slope.
A second goal of the program was to utilize the installed 8′ diameter pipe as a test sample to measure hydrodynamic loading on a large diameter slope-mounted pipeline. Appropriate hydrodynamic data for a pipeline of this size could not be obtained in a laboratory or at reduced scale. Makai designed into the pipeline an instrumented mid-section test ring which actually "floated" in the center of the pipe supported only by a series of load cells. Other load cells were installed at the end of the pipe section in order to measure the wave and current loads on the entire length of pipe. In addition, multiple current meters and wave sensors were added to record the environmental conditions under which the pipeline loads were measured. Makai, in association with Edward K. Noda and Associates, reduced the data from this program and determined pipeline drag and lift coefficients.
Mini-OTEC Intake Pipeline
Mini-OTEC was a joint partnership program of the State of Hawaii, Lockheed Missiles and Space Company, Alfa Laval Thermal and Dillingham Corporation to develop and operate the first closed-cycle self-sustaining OTEC system operating at sea. Its purpose was to prove the feasibility and usefulness of OTEC as an alternative non-polluting power source. Makai Ocean Engineering designed the mooring, the cold water pipe, the water supply systems and the deployment process. Makai was a subcontractor to Dillingham Corporation during this work.
The Mini-OTEC facility is illustrated to the right. A small, complete ammonia-based OTEC facility was mounted on a small barge moored 1-1/2 miles offshore. A 2150′ long, 2′ in diameter polyethylene pipe served as the cold water intake for this facility.
Makai was responsible for both the intake pipeline and the mooring. Initial concepts involved single and multiple point moorings with a separate pipe; keeping the pipe free from fouling on the mooring was a difficult problem. Makai selected polyethylene as the ideal pipe material for this application and, appreciating polyethylene's strength and flexibility, the final solution was to use the polyethylene pipe as the actual mooring member. This required the development of a very rugged and reliable end attachment to the polyethylene pipe that would transfer the axial loads of the deployment and mooring. Makai successfully designed and tested these attachments which have subsequently been used in several down-the-slope polyethylene pipe installations.
Mini OTEC was deployment in July, 1979 and became the first successful at-sea OTEC plant the following month by producing net OTEC power. In the following year, the National Society of Professional Engineers awarded Mini-OTEC as being one of the ten outstanding engineering achievements of that year in the United States.
8′ Suspended CWP, DOE Research
Makai Ocean Engineering served as subcontractor to Hawaiian Dredging & Construction Company in the suspended pipe test phase of the OTEC Cold Water Pipe At-sea Test Program sponsored by the Department of Energy. During this program, an 8-foot diameter, 400′ long sandwich wall fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) syntactic foam configuration CWP test article was developed, constructed, deployed and used for data acquisition in the open ocean near Honolulu, Hawaii. This instrumented CWP was suspended from a moored platform in the spring of 1983. The CWP represented a scaled version of a 40-megawatt size CWP structure, nominally 30′ in diameter and 3000′ long. Makai Ocean Engineering's role in the program was to assist in the FRP design and planning, plan the pipeline deployment, design and plan the deployment of the mooring in 1300′ of water and provide general engineering assistance to Hawaiian Dredging.
Through this program Makai gained valuable experience with FRP pipelines, handling of large diameter rigid pipe sections and the hydrodynamics of large pipelines. This same FRP pipeline was later used in a down-the-slope research program that was also funded by the Department of Energy.

Update: SGLT2 Inhibitor Drugs Linked to Flesh-Eating Genital Infections
August 29, 2018 – FDA is warning that type-2 diabetes drugs from the SGLT2 inhibitor class have recently been linked to a gruesome type of genital infection called necrotizing fasciitis of the perineum, also known as Fournier's gangrene. The condition has been conclusively diagnosed in at least a dozen patients, all of whom required hospitalization and surgery, including one who died from complications resulting from the condition.
What is Jardiance?
Jardiance (generic: empagliflozin) is an oral diabetes medication that helps control blood sugar levels. The drug works by helping the kidneys remove glucose from the bloodstream. Approved in August 2014, Jardiance belongs to a new generation of type 2 diabetes drugs called sodium glucose co- transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors. Other medications in this class include Invokana (canagliflozin), Invokamet (canagliflozin and metformin), Farxiga (dapagliflozin), Glyxambi (empagliflozin and linagliptin), and Xigduo XR (dapagliflozin and metformin extended-release)
SGLT2 Inhibitors Linked to Ketoacidosis
FDA is investigating the link between SGLT2 Inhibitors and dangerously high acid levels in the blood. On May 15, 2015, the agency issued a warning which cited at least 20 cases of diabetic ketoacidosis (also known as DKA, diabetic acidosis or ketoacidosis) in patients who took SGLT2 Inhibitors. All patients required hospitalization or admission to an emergency room to treat the problem, according to the FDA. The median time to onset of symptoms was 2 weeks after initiating treatment with the drugs.
Ketoacidosis Symptoms
Unusual fatigue
FDA Recommendation
In light of the risks associated with Jardiance and other similar diabetes medications, "Healthcare professionals should evaluate for the presence of acidosis, including ketoacidosis, in patients experiencing these signs or symptoms," FDA said. "Discontinue SGLT2 inhibitors if acidosis is confirmed, and take appropriate measures to correct the acidosis and monitor sugar levels."
If ketoacidosis is not treated quickly, it can lead to:
Fluid buildup in the brain (cerebral edema)
Death of bowel tissue due to low blood pressure
Advisory Committee Recommends Approval of Jardiance for Cardiovascular Indication
June 29, 2016 – An FDA advisory committee yesterday voted 12-11 that enough evidence exists to establish that Jardiance reduces cardiovascular (CV) death in adult type 2 diabetics with established CV disease, according to FiercePharma. Jardiance is the only oral type 2 diabetes drug shown in a clinical trial to reduce the risk of CV death. FDA now has to decide whether to follow the committee's recommendation. While the agency is not obligated to take their advice, it usually does.
Studies to Evaluate Jardiance in Heart Failure Patients
May 2, 2016 – A pair of new outcome trials will look at the effectiveness of Jardiance for treating chronic heart failure, according to Healio. The trials are expected to begin within the next year, and will evaluate heart failure patients both with and without type 2 diabetes.
"The EMPA-REG outcome trial demonstrated that Jardiance reduces the risk of cardiovascular death in diabetes patients at high cardiovascular risk, and we now look forward to exploring whether Jardiance can also provide heart failure benefits," said Hans-Juergen Woerle, MD, global vice president of medicine, Boehringer Ingelheim.
New Reports of Ketoacidosis in Jardiance Users
February 1, 2016 – The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) continues to receive reports of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in patients treated with SGLT2 inhibitors like Jardiance. According to the most recent QuarterWatch (PDF) published by the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP), at least 12 cases of ketoacidosis were associated with Jardiance in the 12-month period ending June 30, 2015. Experts believe the actual number of incidences may be much higher, as many adverse events associated with a drug often go unreported.
FDA Adds Ketoacidosis, UTI Warnings to Jardiance Labeling
December 4, 2015 – A recent safety review has prompted the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) to add new warnings about the risk of ketoacidosis and severe urinary tract infections (UTIs) to the labeling of Jardiance and other SGLT2 inhibitor diabetes medications. FDA advises patients to stop taking their SGLT2 inhibitor and seek immediate medical attention if they have symptoms of either condition. Click here to learn more.
Jardiance Side Effects
Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA, Diabetic Acidosis, Ketoacidosis)
Heart Attack (Myocardial Infarction or MI)
Kidney Failure (Renal Failure)
Kidney Infections (Pyelonephritis)
Bone Abnormalities
Severe Dehydration / Fluid Imbalance
Abnormal Weight Loss
Hypersensitivity (Allergic Response)
Blood Infections (Urosepsis)
Has There Been a Recall?
At this time, neither Jardiance nor any other diabetes medication from the SGLT2 inhibitor class has been recalled in the U.S. or any other country. The safety profile of these drugs is being investigated, and the agency is determining whether their labeling needs to be updated with information about their potential health risks.

Swedish Activist Fined for Viral Live-Streamed Protest Against Deportation of Afghan Asylum Seeker
November 11, 2019	0	By JohnValbyNation
A district court in Gothenburg, Sweden on Monday fined 22-year-old Elin Ersson 3,000 kronor ($325) for violating aviation laws last July by refusing to take her seat on an airplane at Landvetter Airport in Sweden's second-largest city to protest the deportation of an Afghan asylum seeker.
"Although it is not a lot of money, this is a clear signal about what sort of society we are becoming. It is right to save lives and wrong to be punished for trying."
—Fatemeh Khavari, Afghan refugee and activist
In a video Ersson live-streamed on Facebook—which has now been seen by millions of people across the globe—she said: "I want him to get off the plane because he is not safe in Afghanistan. I am trying to change my country's rules, I don't like them. It is not right to send people to hell."

Prosecutors charged that by refusing to comply with crewmembers' instructions to take her seat, Ersson had disobeyed the captain and violated the air traffic regulations. While her protest on the Turkish Airlines flight could have landed Ersson behind bars for up to six months, the judge declined the prosecution's request for jail time.
As the verdict stated, according to The Local Sweden, "In this case, Elin Ersson's actions took place when the plane was on the ground and although it led to palpable concern among other passengers, nothing else has emerged than that the plane was able to take off around half an hour late and continued to Istanbul without further problems."
Tomas Fridh, Ersson's attorney, told the Guardian that he was disappointed with the fine and would appeal. "Elin's ambition was not to commit a crime or break the law—her protest might be seen to have an element of civil disobedience, but in this case what was right was also legal," he said.
Ersson's ticket had been bought by the activist group Sittstrejken i Göteborg. "Her protest was originally meant to prevent the deportation of a 26-year-old failed asylum seeker named Ismail Khawari, but he was not on the plane and was deported the next day," according to Deutsche Welle. Her demonstration led to another Afghan asylum seeker—a man in his 50s who is a convicted criminal—being removed from the plane, but he was also ultimately deported.
Responding to the case's conclusion on Twitter, Christian Christensen, an American living in Sweden who is a professor of journalism at Stockholm University, noted that Ersson protested against the deportation on principle. As he put it, "That's the thing about principles: they come with complexity. Like being against the death penalty doesn't mean you support what the murderer did."
Sweden has taken in hundreds of thousands of refugees over the past decade, and received more than 21,000 asylum applications last year. Critics of restrictions implemented over the past few years in a push to curb migration pointed to the fine imposed on Ersson as a reflection of mounting anti-immigration sentiment in the Nordic country.
"Sweden has been going towards tighter and tighter rules on asylum, the perspectives have been narrowed," former lawmaker Abir Al-Sahlani told the Guardian. "It is amazing for me as a liberal that it is taking shape under a Social Democratic government… Decency has retreated; this is a dramatic change in the Swedish debate."
Afghan refugee and activist Fatemeh Khavari added: "Although it is not a lot of money, this is a clear signal about what sort of society we are becoming. It is right to save lives and wrong to be punished for trying."


Dhankuta is a village located in Eastern part of Nepal and this type is made only in this village. People mostly use it as a decorative piece because of its elegant and delicate look therefore it is named as Dhankute decorative. The skilled craftsmen from the village make special scabbards from indian rosewood depicting national symbols and pride marks of Nepal such as Kings crown (Shree-pech), national bird (Danfe), national flower (Laligurans), national fish (Aasla), Gurkha insignia (khukuri cross, mark of a temple (Pashupati chaana), the holy sword (Trishul) etc. It is made very simple yet very attractive.
To add more beauty to this kukri, skilled craftsman has carved dragon on both side of the blade using only domestic tool.

Asset Declaration: Court Rejects George Turnah's Record of Service At NDDC
Turnah is standing trial, alongside his wife, Jennifer, on four-count amended charges bordering on non-disclosure of assets.
in Anti-Corruption
George Turner
A Federal High Court sitting in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, has rejected the records of service of George Turnah, former Special Adviser to Mr. Dan Abia, erstwhile Managing Director of Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, while serving as an aide in the Commission.
Justice T. Mohammed, after listening to the testimony of defence witness, Silas Anyanwu, Director, Human Resource, NDDC, on the records of service of Turnah between 2013 and 2015 at the NDDC, refused to admit documents such as Letter of appointment, Letter of Acceptance of Appointment, Letter of Resignation and Letter of Acceptance of his Resignation as exhibits.
ALSO READ BUHARI: We'll Transfer Power To Winners Of 2023 Elections
The documents could not be admitted as exhibits based on objection raised by the prosecution counsel, I. Agwu stressing that they were not duly certified and therefore non- admissible as exhibits.
Turnah is standing trial, alongside his wife, Jennifer, on four-count amended charges bordering on non-disclosure of assets and false declaration. Specifically, they were docked for concealing information from the EFCC about their company: Ashford Consut and Event Nigeria Limited, while filling their asset declaration forms.
Anyanwu, while being cross-examined by Agwu, presented the documents to show record of Service of Turnah at the Commission. However, Agwu argued that the admissibility of the documents as exhibits could not stand as it fell short of the requirements of the law in Section 104(1)(2)(3) of the Evidence Act, 2011.

Anyanwu also denied any knowledge of Ashford Consult and Event Nigeria Limited and its Board of Directors. He told the court that he didn't know how Turnah and his wife filled the Asset Declaration Forms at the EFCC.
Justice Mohammed, after listening to the testimony of DW3, adjourned the matter till April 28, 2021 for continuation of trial.

Your name is Daisy, you're a Demon, and you're really not in the most pleasant situation right now.
You can feel the weight around you, crushing, pressing in on every part of your body. Several-thousand tons of sugar water loom overhead. You aren't exactly sure how you got down here but that doesn't really help you at this point.
If you had to guess you'd say you were somewhere in the sea trenches between Aspersion and Spindle. Judging by the pipes full of gunk and industrial waste, you're probably in the southern reaches.
This all feels strangely familiar.
In front of you is a large crevice, if you looked into it you could swear you saw something moving around down there. You can see a faint glow that disperses into the unnatural darkness of the ocean's depths.
On the other side of the chasm there are two pipes, one of which appears to be leaking a sickly red fluid. There's also a big rocky rock and a cute glow-shrimp.
You probably should find a way back to the surface, Verity is going to be worried sick about you, and staying down here very long will probably have dire consequences. Also, you're definitely not getting paid for this.
What's up with all that glowy stuff in the crevice? Try kicking a pebble into it?
But first, we check out the chasm. And the shrimp. It's cute.
No, you're not getting paid for being thrown into the ocean, and you don't think your insurance covers ocean-related injuries. That said, you have more important things to worry about than your next pay check, like the beautiful creature floating peacefully over there.
You take a moment to regard the glow shrimp.
Across the chasm, just out of your grasp, the glow shrimp floats peacefully. Many have questioned the quandary of the curious glow shrimp. One would expect that glowing would be an evolutionary dead end, surely something that glows in the deep ocean would only attract predators to it. But the glow shrimp seems to defy all logic, existing, and even thriving despite this trait. There have been many theories about the ability of the glow shrimp to survive, perhaps it has a predatory function, perhaps it shares a symbiotic existence with some other creature. An official study has never been conducted on the life of the glow shrimp, so for now, no one knows. Even more curious than the life and ecology of the glow shrimp is its biology. The glow shrimp lacks a brain, has almost no actual internal organ structure, and is more analogous to a floating mass of glowing gunk than anything else.
You sigh wistfully, ah, to be a glow shrimp, to not care about life, simply drifting along as the deep-sea currents ebb and flow.
This glow shrimp, in particular, seems to be a blue-banded glow shrimp, named such because it has blue bands. The blue-banded glow shrimp tends to live only in the deepest part of the oceans, where its light stands out like a small beacon in the inky blackness.
You almost envy the peaceful life the glow shrimp has.
You manage to pry your eyes away from the glorious glow shrimp.
With a reasonable amount of effort, you wind up a kick and give a lonely rock a good punt into the chasm.
The rock jumps forwards as your foot makes contact with it, soaring through the water before majestically drifting into the chasm. The rock falls dreadfully slowly due to the syrupy nature of the deep sea trenches.
Some time after the chunk of earth has vanished from view you see something shift in the chasm. Some weird pitch blackness writhes and coils in the deep. The changes are barely perceptible with how little light there is down here. But whatever is in the chasm, it looks very big.
Then you hear a noise, like bastardized whale song, an awful, cruel whine. Something about it presses at your eardrums and makes you feel an unease that grasps your heart and squeezes. The noise dries out your mouth and makes your nose itch. Suddenly, you're even sweating a bit, despite being underwater, you know you're sweating. You swear you could even feel the saliva on the tip of your tongue boiling; your paper-like skin crinkling in response to the broken sounds. The noise doesn't stop, warbling and warping, twisted and twisting, and somehow awfully tragic.
Oops, guess there was something in the chasm you hit with the rock.
Swim away as fast as you can.
Which probably isn't fast enough.
You burble out a quick "Sorry", sugar water filling your mouth and getting all sticky against your teeth. Whatever it is in the chasm responds with another painful noise, you're not quite sure if its a scream or just its natural call. The sound is immediately followed by a rushing feeling, you can see the darkness shifting in the depths, approaching quickly. Unfortunately for you, it seems that whatever creature it is in the cavern does not want to be your friend.
With haste, you start swimming away from the trench. Fast locomotion proving difficult to the viscosity of the sugar-water. As each second ticks past you can feel the pressure building, the feeling of its presence growing.
An awful tingle rolls down your spine, like nails on a chalkboard, but the chalkboard is your spine, and the nails are textured like sandpaper. You realize that this probably isn't the best simile, but considering your situation you give yourself a pass. You can feel your head starting to ache, and your vision starting to shift, scan-lines sliding over your eyes as everything blurs and twists out of your control. Whatever's in that chasm won't be for much longer, and you can feel the horrid pressure getting stronger.
You immediately regret looking back.
Your eyes burn and ache where they find the empty void of a creature stalking you. A pit of darkness defined by its utter lack of definition, no light that falls on its wretched body ever resurfaces.
You see the horror slipping back beneath the edge of the chasm. Every time you blink the thing seems to change, every time your eyes refocus the geometry and curvature seems to shift, warping and twisting, like it was mocking the very nature of reality.
> No it's not. Such eternally-changing monstrosities are probably a friend. Tell them you'll call them later to hang out.
You turn tail and run, this action proves to be slightly more effective than swimming. However, you quickly realize this isn't going to help you, your muscles are starting to lock up and you were moving far too slow anyway. You turn back around just in time to see the horror's tail leaving the chasm. The light around it bending and betraying the cruel nature of the creature.
A horrible feeling fills your gut, you know that this thing doesn't have any good interests in mind for you, or any interests at all. All of the awful wrongness that you've felt up till now just gets worse, and you feel a bit of stomach acid rising in your throat. You even consider screaming at, it for a moment, but that would be even less effective than trying to run was.
You try your best to look alive, your only hope at this point is if the horror recognizes and tries to mimic you. As you continue to stare at the horror, a burning sensation builds in your eyes, the light tearing and distorting around the creature. You can feel the radiation pouring off of the horror, seeping into your body, poisoning you. Pain fills the horror's eyes, you see it see you, you just can't pull your eyes away.
For a moment, you feel a rush of possibility, the pain in your head lessens and your vision clears, you can see the horror in all of its beauty. The empty dark 'skin' where light falls and never leaves, everything about it just feels so awfully sad.
In this calm moment, something strange about its body bothers you, the symbols crawling over its back, the Modician number system. But you shove that thought out of your mind, worrying about the small details won't save your life.
A blinding wave of pain slams into you, your vision going technicolor as the horror tears itself apart. The pressure from its scream hits you, the sound wave forcing you to your knees. Tears burn in your eyes as your stomach churns. You feel yourself start to shake as the second wave, the one composed of radiation washes over you, your paper-like skin crumbling from the exposure.
You scream in earnest, sugar water filling your lungs. You keep screaming, you can feel your body warping in responses to the horror's radiation, you can feel every change.
You bow your head, humming the familiar tune of a musical prayer, your hands clasped together. You pray to Verity, to XLR, you pray that you could get out of this. You aren't ready to die, not here, not yet. You still have so many things to do.
You look up to face the horror one last time, and see nothing. Just an empty expanse of ocean.
Your alarm clock sits on your night stand, glowing faintly in the dark; it's a few hours before morning. Another nightmare in the middle of the night, another dream about the sea-floor. The bed you are in feels vaguely itchy and unclean, like it just isn't right. You can feel your paper-skin, crinkled and soaked through with sweat. Your body aches like you just ran a marathon, you feel a knot in your throat, and everything just seems to be pressing in on you. An awful crushing weight, a source-less primal fear. But you're not on the bottom of the ocean anymore, you're not around the horrors, you're safe.
Go into the bathroom and get your hairdryer so you can dry yourself out, as usual.
> Make a mental note, or a literal note if you can't remember, to wash your sheets. No surprise they feel vaguely itchy and unclean if you're waking up every night covered in sweat. Maybe turn your light on, and then explain the Modician number system to yourself to calm yourself down in a really obviously exposition sort of way.
Go get a drink of cold water.
Daisy groans a bit, adjusting to the darkness and the sensation of about eight new voices in her head, all screaming courses of action. Great, just what she needed, more things wrong with her mind.
She takes in a slow breath, calming herself. Daisy knows she needs to take things one at a time, or she won't get anything done. One of them is telling her to go get water, but considering her dream she really isn't feeling interested in ingesting any liquids right now, or touching any liquids for that matter.
DAISY: "I really just don't like water, water is bad... I'll do it in a bit."
One of the voices is asking about her clock, and the numerals on the horror's back from her dream. Apparent ally the new voices don't even know what numbers are, wonderful.
DAISY: "Okay, shush for a second."
DAISY: "I can't imagine why something out of my own mind doesn't know the numbers I use every day but... why not"
DAISY: "By Verity's name, am I going to have to explain this in a base ten system to you... hell"
DAISY: "So, most places on Morbit, you all do know what Morbit is, right? do I have to explain gods and that too?..."
DAISY: "Anyway, most places on Morbit use what they call base 10, if that is what you use we would be using "base 12"; you can thank XLR for that one."
DAISY: "We have three groupings of four characters -- they work as follows"
DAISY: "I hope that clears it up..."
DAISY: "Frankly though, our system works much better, and I can't imagine why you'd want to use something so ugly as decimal..."
She pulls the cord on her bedside lamp, casting a small amount of light into her apartment building. Two bottles of important medication sit on the nightstand, there's about three days worth of doses left in each of them... she should probably go to the pharmacy soon. Going without medication was bad, very bad, worse than water bad.
DAISY: "I suppose I should say... if ya'll wind up sticking around, and are ever in more direct control than you are now, I have to take these twice every day"
DAISY: "I don't plan on any of you taking the lead but it's worth mentioning."
Daisy lets out a slow breath, going through the numbers calmed her down a little bit, and talking about her medication even more so. Maybe now she would be up to getting water. She grabs a glass from her bedside table and heads to the bathroom -- the hairdryer is there, and so is water, it'll be easy.
Daisy fills the cup with cool water, hands trembling a bit. This didn't feel great to her, and she really didn't like the sound of the faucet running. She knew she could do this though. After a few seconds she shuts the faucet off, setting down the glass of water against the floor and slumping against the sink/drawer combo.
After a few moments, she grabs the hairdryer, using it to at least make herself less soggy. Drying out after a bad dream was really her least favorite thing to do, it made her paper much more prone to cracking and falling off. Alternatively, she could remain soggy and slush around all day which really wasn't any better.
Daisy closes her two main eyes, letting herself just hear the faint electrical hum of the hairdryer.
DAISY: "Well... since you're here... and I'm not going anywhere... whats up?"
> honestly we're more worried about you than anything right now. Since we'll be taking up space in your consciousness awhile, we want you to be ok!
> Yeah! We, in general, care about you. But things are still probably a little confusing. Maybe explain the exact nature of the medication that you have to take, since it's something I think most of us are going to need to know and understand in detail. Good work getting yourself dried off, by the way, after a dream like that I'm surprised you've got the energy to do anything at all.
>why is your skin made outta paper? Can you draw on yourself? Is ink your mortal enemy?
Daisy smiles a bit, it makes her feel quite a bit better to know that the voices in her head seem to actually care about her and her well being. Maybe she could get along with them, maybe this wouldn't be something bad. Having things that aren't bad happen would be a nice change of pace.
DAISY: You're in my head right, shouldn't you know this already? Never is that simple I guess.
DAISY: Enaxic is my anti-psychotic, it's supposed to help with my dissociation, it's also supposed to help with not having voices in my head but you and I can both tell that that's not working right now.
DAISY: It's nice to have a little company sometimes.
DAISY: Though... are you gonna be around, talking to me, all the time?
DAISY: Is that what collectives have to deal with?
DAISY: Trexial is my mood-stabilizer, it's what I take to deal with the symptoms from being a monster, if I don't take this some really bad things could happen. And... I'd probably get in a lot of trouble and then be really sad. But now I've got people to help me remember to take it, so I don't need to forget anymore!
Daisy smiles just slightly, it's not much, but it's there.
DAISY: Honestly... it took all I had in me to get clean and drink some water, I dunno if I could do anything more right now if I tried.
DAISY: Though explaining things and having some people to talk to is really nice.
DAISY: As for the paper skin, it's cause that's one of Verity's motifs.
DAISY: Being one of her Demons I sort inherit those motifs, her other one is 'imitation', whatever that means.
DAISY: The other stuff is cause of being a monster, the third eye, being too big.
DAISY: You probably cant tell cause everything in my apartment was custom made for my size but... I'm not, normal sized.
DAISY: But most people don't have a third eye that never closes and skin made out of paper so being a bit big isn't that bad.
Daisy's ears perk up and twitch, catching noise, her head tilting to hear it better.
DAISY: I think I just heard someone outside the door, in the hall... why would anyone be there?
DAISY: You don't think it's something bad? should I check it out?
yeah, check it out, but like, carefully. you got any windows or peepholes?
Go check things out, cautiously! You seem pretty capable.
I think we're gonna be around until you get through this phase of your life that involves water, at the very least.
Check things out, but be subtle about it. Peephole if possible. If not, maybe just press your ear to the door? No need to draw attention to yourself.


Lunchtime with a side of creativity.
Saying Luke Pieczynski is dedicated to adding art and creativity to his family's days is probably an understatement.
For more than 380 consecutive days, the father of three, who lives in Charlottesville, Virginia, has sketched notes for his kids with charming doodles and affirmations.
Pieczynski told The Huffington Post he and his wife have hidden little notes for each other to find for years, which partly inspired the notes for his kids. However, the more elaborate designs were prompted by the death of his oldest daughter's teacher.
"She really took to her teacher and loved her like she loves her family," Pieczynski said. "Three months into the school year we were informed that her teacher was murdered, and we, as parents, had to figure out how to explain death to a 4-year-old."
Pieczynski told HuffPost that the teacher inspired his daughter, who is now 5, to value creativity. To help continue that encouragement, he decided to create works of art to add to her lunch.
"My hope was just to give her something to smile about during a very tough time for everyone at her school," he said.
Soon, family and friends began encouraging Pieczynski to post his sketches online. The dad was sketching two to three notes a week at that point, but when he decided to share them with a larger audience, he committed to completing at least one sketch every day. He's now drawn notes for more than 380 consecutive days.
Though his oldest child was the first to get the notes in her lunch, Pieczynski said his middle child started showing interest in them a few months ago so now they both get surprises at lunchtime. For school days, he completes sketches the night before so he can add them to their lunches the following morning, and on weekends, he creates the notes by the end of the day to share with his kids. For now, the dad has no plans to stop sharing his sketches (and a bit of creativity) with his family.
"As long as my kids like them I'll keep creating them," he said.

A great development community has formed around the pumpkin studios game Warzone 2100. I actually bought this game back when it was originally released, and enjoyed it despite not being a big fan of the genre. Pumpkin Studios released the source code to the game and since then folks have been working on it. On April 1 they released version 2.06 and it's worth checking out if you're an RTS fan or just looking for something new and fun to tinker with. The game has a number of features that are still uncommon in modern RTS games, including the ability to develop custom vehicles made up of various components you research, a heavy emphasis on sensor systems and using them to coordinate attacks, and a focus on tactics more than strategy. The game has aged really well too, still looking acceptable despite being ~8 years old, and it has network play and an extensive single player campaign. It also has a really good user interface. It takes a little while to get used to but once it clicks you'll find it a lot easier to understand than many RTS interfaces. The only downsides are that the original movies that were used to advance the plot in the single player campaign are not present (they've been replaced with text explaining what's happening) and that the game was made back when 800×600 graphics were super high end, so if you crank up the resolution your units are very small and hard to distinguish – is that my artillery or my repair bot?

A Super Start To School With PJ Masks | AD
Friday, August 31, 2018 Permalink
I still can't get over the fact that soon I'll have a little boy in school. I keep getting asked if we're both ready, and I'm so conscious that I want to make sure that Max is as ready as he can be (even if I'll never be ready!). He's a child who often finds it difficult to adjust to change, and it's clear that school has been on his mind a lot lately. Despite the fact that outwardly he seems really excited about it all, there are lots of signs that he's more anxious about it than he's letting on.
One of the things I've worried about most is the fact that he's really not interested in reading, writing, or numbers, and I know what a huge part of school life those are these days. His interest lies in science, and he's clearly a very smart guy (far smarter than me in that aspect!), but I've worried that his lack of interest in English and maths will make school life difficult for him.
Max has been a huge PJ Masks fan now for a long time, and when the lovely folk at PJ Masks offered to send us some products to help with the transition to school, I knew Max would love them. He often calls the PJ Masks on his imaginary phone to help with various emergencies he's concocted!
As a parent, PJ Masks is a programme that I'm more than happy for him to watch. A superhero programme that doesn't involve fighting or shooting is so good for his age group, and quite hard to find! But not only that, it's the perfect way to introduce school, and a lot of the qualities that he will need in his school life. PJ Masks focus closely on 10 superpowers: Big Feelings, Curiosity, Persistence, Friendship, Memory, Self-Control,
Perception, Listening, Precision and Movement. All superpowers which are so perfectly relatable for 4/5 year olds and the challenges they face in starting school.
I've been talking about all of these with Max as we've been watching episodes of PJ Masks, but especially focussing on the ones that he finds most challenging: Big Feelings, Persistence, Self-Control, and Listening. If you'd like to read more about the PJ Masks superpowers and how you can talk about them with your children, you can find lots of information on the official PJ Masks website
Persistence is one of the areas that Max often struggles with. When he finds something difficult, he tends to get very frustrated and give up. We've been talking a lot about learning and how it takes lots of practice to get to grips with new skills, and the goodies that we found in our box have been the perfect way to do it. We loved playing the PJ Masks Mini Memory Game and 35 piece jigsaw puzzle, which were the perfect ways to test how persistent we could be, as well as working together as a team. Max has always loved jigsaws, but I was somewhat surprised to find that Max was actually better than me at the memory game!
Far and away the things which have really inspired Max to learn about letters and numbers have been the Leap Frog Leap Start Interactive Learning System, which came with the 'Moonlight Hero Maths' PJ Masks Book, and the VTech Super Learning Headquarters. Normally he'd have been shouting "NO!" as soon as he saw a number, but because it's his favourite PJ Masks, he's instantly interested, and will persist, even if he doesn't understand something, or finds it difficult.
The Leap Frog Leap Start Interactive Learning System works as an audio book, which is controlled with the pen, and it guides you through different exercises which introduce your child to concepts like numbers, shapes, patterns, and ways of measuring. The PJ Masks book is aimed at 3-6 year olds, so is perfect for children just starting school, and it's intended to introduce children to maths, measurement, and critical thinking. It definitely requires a bit of adult help to work through the exercises, but it's a lovely activity to sit down and do together.
The VTech Super Learning Headquarters has been a big hit with Max. You use Catboy's Cat Car to control the screen, and there are various different counting games to play, and it increases in difficulty as the game progresses. The look of it definitely appeals to PJ Masks fans – this was the very first thing Max wanted to play with when we unpacked the box!
I always think that a huge part of learning to read and count is just the repetition and gaining that familiarity with the symbols, but because Max has been so resistant in the past, it's been impossible to build that. These have been the perfect way to ease him into letters and numbers in a way that he finds interesting.
I was amazed yesterday when, completely unprompted, Max brought me over his drawing pad, where he'd written his name – fully recognisable and clear, a big M A X. For a child who adamantly refused to write letters before, this is such a huge step forward for him, and I'm sure that the PJ Masks games we've been playing with him have had more than a little bit to do with his new found enthusiasm!
I've been a bit concerned about how Max was going to get on at school, given his resistance to reading, writing, and numbers, but I think we're both now feeling far more confident. I have no doubt we'll still be feeling all the Big Feelings when the big day comes though – wish us both luck!
