EL DORADO HILLS, CA: May 10, 2016 – Savas Beatie recently announced the release of renowned author and speaker Gary W. Moore’s brand new title, The Final Service. Inspired by real events, The Final Service offers a riveting story about human nature and how unfulfilled dreams left a middle-aged woman on the brink of destruction until one event forever altered the core of her belief system and her life.

The document is a poem about social media addiction and the loss of real-world connections. It describes how the speaker has gained over 5,000 Facebook friends in just six clicks but no longer knows what day it is or what's in the news. The speaker is glued to their screen like it's an affliction, welcoming the new addiction of Facebook where "friends" constantly stream in day and night from near and far. It portrays social media as replacing real interactions and true knowledge of people with superficial online connections.

Chris Bell and Jessica Ford are the lead characters around which the story revolves. Chris is confident, witty, and sees relationships as a waste of time, while Jessica is shy with few friends and feels weird and out of the loop.

Rodrigo García - Tex 2016 - The world is one big data problem
El documento presenta varias citas sobre el tema de Big Data. Se discute que Big Data no se refiere a una cantidad específica de datos sino a la gran variedad y velocidad con la que estos existen. También se menciona que Big Data puede significar más información pero también información falsa debido a la gran cantidad de variables con poca información por variable. Finalmente, se resalta que los Panama Papers mostraron la capacidad de recolectar y analizar grandes cantidades de datos no estructurados para encontrar nuevas relaciones entre nombres y datos.
BitFinex Hack Overview
The document summarizes the security issues that led to the BitFinex hack. It explains that BitFinex used a multi-signature wallet system requiring two keys to authorize transactions, with one key held by BitFinex and one by BitGo. However, in practice only BitFinex's key was needed since BitGo would sign any transaction already signed by BitFinex. This created multiple attack vectors, as a hacker could steal funds by obtaining two keys stored in different locations or one key plus the API access token. The prevailing theory is that is what occurred in the BitFinex hack. The redundant security layers increased risk rather than enhancing protection.

Evolve 2
The Out-of-Africa theory suggests that Homo sapiens evolved in Africa around 100,000-200,000 years ago and then migrated throughout the world, replacing earlier hominin species. Genetic evidence from mitochondrial DNA, Y-chromosome DNA, and microsatellite DNA analyses indicate that all modern human populations outside of Africa can be traced back to a common ancestral population that lived in Africa relatively recently, between 100,000-150,000 years ago. This supports the theory that modern humans originated in Africa and then migrated throughout the world.
Stone age
The Middle Stone Age was a period of human development in Africa between 280,000-50,000 years ago where particular stone tools originated. It was once thought to be equivalent to Europe's Middle Paleolithic but evidence of art and symbols in the MSA has challenged this view. The Neolithic period began around 10,200 BC in the Middle East and later elsewhere, ending between 4,500-2,000 BC. It followed the Epipaleolithic and saw the beginning of farming in the Neolithic Revolution. During this time, wild crops and domesticated animals came into use.
DevOps Army of N - Recovering From Being A Human SPOF
You used to be a single point of failure. You were the solo engineer on a project, which came with some limited prestige, but it was incredibly stressful. Vacations were cancelled, dance recitals were missed, and sleep became a precious resource that you clutched tightly. You may also have developed a phantom buzzing in your phone pocket from all the late-night pages over the years. Survival was a struggle, but you kept soldiering on.
But no longer. Management opened and filled job reqs! New engineers have arrived, eager to learn and help, and the tunnel is suddenly much brighter! Except...
What do you do now?
Last November, I walked through my experiences as a human SPOF, and the strategies I used to survive. In the intervening months, our team has hired several new DevOps engineers, with more on the way. But now we need to get all that knowledge out of my brain, and into a palatable format for consumption by others. At devopsdays SV 2016, I shared some of the challenges encountered in getting new engineers up to speed, when all the knowledge exists solely in my head. Several difficulties exist, affecting both the individual and the team as a whole. Prioritizing projects is complicated, because so much depends on knowledge that exists only in one place. Knowledge transfer can often be disjointed and difficult to organize, because the information is frequently tied up in the chaos of solo operations. And as we've started exploring all the components in our environments, we've revisited the sins of our past - corners cut and shortcuts taken in the interests of getting it done now, versus getting it done cleanly. Many of the tools were designed out of desperation, not with flexibility and maintainability in mind. Now it's time to figure out how to complete that transition, and move toward a more maintainable, survivable environment.
This is a follow-up to my talk from devopsdays SV 2015, entitled DevOps Army of One - How to Survive When You're the SPoF. I really enjoyed giving that talk, and since then I've gained not only some much-needed help, but insight into the difficulties involved in bringing the new engineers online.

The Psychology of Love by Dr Kathrine Bejanyan
The document discusses the psychology of love and relationships, noting that while romantic love served an evolutionary purpose in facilitating reproduction, it was not historically the basis for marriage and long-term relationships require more than just chemistry and passion to last. Modern ideals of marrying for love and finding a soulmate are unrealistic, and building a successful relationship takes understanding one's own beliefs, needs, and childhood experiences as well as actively maintaining intimacy, compatibility and commitment over time.
Love, courtship, and marriage
This document discusses various types of love and relationships, including puppy love, romantic love, companionate love, and courtship. It provides details on the typical stages of courtship, including in Filipino culture where practices like discreet gift-giving, love poems, and serenading are common. The document also discusses the rights and obligations that come with marriage, such as control over a spouse's property and responsibility for their debts. Key relationship challenges mentioned include issues with in-laws, money, housework, new babies, and mismatched sex drives.
Twisted
Suicide is a serious issue, with 33,000 people dying by suicide in the US each year, most commonly middle-aged white males in the spring. Reasons for suicide include aging, loss of a loved one, substance abuse, emotional trauma, physical illness, social isolation, unemployment, and depression.

This document discusses the growing phenomenon of mothers trying to be "best friends" with their daughters rather than parents. While friendship can be an element of the relationship, making it the primary model risks damaging the daughter's development by placing adult burdens on them and encouraging unhealthy competition and boundary crossing. True mutuality is impossible between a parent and child, and mothers must remember their role is to support and guide their daughter's independence rather than cling to the relationship or try to regain their own lost youth.

Family and Cultures of the World.docx
Illegitimacy can negatively impact both children and society. Children born to unmarried mothers have greater health risks and are more likely to experience poverty, lower educational attainment, and engage in criminal behavior. This leads to increased social and medical costs and reduces the overall performance of the nation's economy. Children from broken homes or incompatible homes may experience feelings of rejection, hatred, or depression, and are less likely to have a positive view of marriage or relationships. Illegitimacy most severely impacts society by affecting parents, children, extended families, and communities through higher rates of poverty and crime.

This document summarizes the three waves of polyamory:
The first wave began in the late 1960s-1970s and consisted of strict patriarchal communes like The Farm and Oneida Community that practiced forms of group marriage. The second wave emerged in the 1980s-1990s and was founded by feminist women who emphasized communication, boundaries, and dealing with jealousy. The third wave began in the 2000s, fueled by the internet and mainstream media, which presented polyamory as a normal relationship option with a focus on gender fluidity and challenging traditional relationship structures.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
Pharmacology of 5-hydroxytryptamine and Antagonist
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

Editor's Notes
- Leanna – Another area that is important in understanding cheating, is understanding the chemistry of Romantic Love. There are 3 phases of Love beginning with Lust, which is largely driven by Testosterone, the sexual hormone. The next phase is the Attraction phase where we experience high levels of dopamine, norepinephrine and intense focus on each other. This is also known as the “Love Sick” phase. The final phase of Romantic Love is the Attachment phase and as you can see in this picture, they get cuddly as they experience high levels of serotonin and oxytocin, so they feel safe in their commitment and to each other. In this phase, they may be vulnerable to engage in cheating to kick up the feelings of lust that have dissipated, or kick up dopamine love-sick phase again because their brains maybe hungry for these powerful feelings that are no longer there.
