Watched the movie "Lord of War" and was reminded of this powerpoint that was kicking around the army back 2006. (Not my creation). Perhaps the only way to deal with the tragedy of child soldiers being forced to murder their own parents, then being strung out on brown brown is with laughter.

Magnificent Siamese Fighting Fish
Magnificent Siamese Fighting FishTrinity Blu*** Don't Thank Me for Viewing Shows....but Rather, Pay It Forward :))***
The Siamese fighting fish, also known as betta fish, are popular aquarium fish known for their brilliant colors and large fins. In the wild, they live in oxygen-poor rice paddies and are capable of living in small containers without filters. Male bettas flare their gills and fins to appear more impressive as acts of courtship or aggression toward rivals. They build bubble nests and care for eggs and fry. Due to their aggression, bettas must be housed alone or separated by partitions; males may kill each other and females if cohabited without precautions.TRLD Administrative Forum
The document discusses educating millennials and how they differ from previous generations as learners. Millennials have grown up with networked, digital information that is overwhelming and ever-changing. They see information as a raw material rather than a finished product. To effectively educate millennials, schools should leverage millennials' intrinsic needs to work in responsive information environments, communicate, share personal experiences and identities, form communities, ask questions, make mistakes safely, illustrate accomplishments, invest themselves, and earn attention and recognition.
Similes
This document provides examples of common similes used in the English language including "mean as a snake", "as mad as a cow", and "as dumb as a brick". It is authored by Danny Minor and contains three similes as examples along with a credits section.
Elements of scary stories
Scary stories appeal to horror and thriller fans who enjoy fear, mystery, and surprise. They typically involve supernatural elements like ghosts, paranormal events, nightmares, death, witchcraft, demons, and psychopathic characters. These stories create fear by focusing on things beyond human control that cause suffering, pain, or death. They play on common human fears like mental torment or unnatural death. Elements like darkness, human senses, and supernatural forces effectively generate suspense by preying on readers' nerves and perceptions. Overall, scary stories satisfy readers' interest in experiencing fear and confronting their own mortality, even if they are not for everyone.
Ghosts NG
The document discusses ghosts and the theories surrounding their existence. There are three main types of ghosts described - residual hauntings which replay past events non-interactively, interactive hauntings where ghosts interact with humans by making sounds or moving objects, and demonic hauntings which can become dangerous. The document also discusses methods of capturing evidence of ghosts through photographs, audio recordings, and videos.
Suspense Techniques
The document discusses two techniques for building drama and suspense in films - using a heartbeat sound effect and music. It provides an example of a film scene where a quickening heartbeat adds emotional drama and an example soundtrack that builds up in pace and volume from slow and mysterious to a climax to increase suspense.

Timeline of the horror genre
The document traces the timeline of horror films from their origins in the late 19th century to modern day. It discusses early horror films like Le Manoir du Diable (1896) and the development of sound and special effects. Major genres that emerged include Universal monster films of the 1930s, slasher films of the 1970s-80s like Friday the 13th, and modern remakes and franchises like Saw. While horror films have a relatively low budget, they have proven very profitable at the box office.
An Irish Ghost Story
A Dublin University student named John Bradford was hitchhiking on a dark and stormy night when a car approached him but had no driver. Scared but desperate for shelter, John got in. The car started moving on its own and a disembodied hand appeared at the window to steer it. John jumped out at the next pub and told his story, crying. Moments later, two other men entered, also soaked from the storm, and one said to the other "Look Paddy, there's that idiot that got in the car while we were pushing it."

Sixth sense technology
Sixth Sense is a wearable gestural interface that uses hand gestures and motions to allow users to interact with digital information projected onto any surface. It consists of a pocket projector, camera, and mobile phone that work together to project information and allow interaction through hand gestures without the need for physical devices like keyboards or mice. Some potential uses include sign language recognition, augmented reality applications, controlling devices through gestures, and creating alternative computer interfaces that make the entire world a computer interface. The goal is to make the technology widely available and adapt computers to human needs through more natural gestural interaction.

Some examples of sensory words that describe smells are given, such as "fruity" and "rotten", and sounds are described with words like "bang" and "crackle". Students are instructed to work in small groups to come up with sensory words for how various objects would smell and sound by using a provided sensory chart.

While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
