Quoting: Anonymous Coward 83667053 quantum when observed is changing shadows! lol "The quantum mind or quantum consciousness is a group of scientific hypotheses proposing that classical mechanics cannot explain consciousness.[1] It posits that quantum-mechanical phenomena, such as entanglement and superposition, may play an important part in the brain's function and could explain consciousness. The hypotheses assert that consciousness is somehow quantum-mechanical and can overlap with quantum mysticism, a pseudoscientific movement that assigns supernatural characteristics to various quantum phenomena such as nonlocality and the observer effect.[2]" She was almost there. She could feel the weight of herself, the ponderousness of her body, the distant memories of the dawn of time when rock was molten and free. For the first time in her life she knew what it was like to have balconies. She moved gently through the building-mind, refining her impressions, looking as fast as she dared for this corridor, this door. She stretched out one arm, very carefully. The students watched as she uncurled one finger, very slowly. The door hinges began to creak. There was a moment of tension and then the nails sprang from the hinges and clattered into the wall behind her. The planks began to bend as the door still tried to force itself open against the strength of -whatever was holding it shut. The wood billowed. Beams of blue light lanced out into the corridor, moving and dancing as indistinct shapes shuffled through the blinding brilliance inside the room. The light was misty and actinic, the sort of light to make Steven Spielberg reach for his copyright lawyer. Esk's hair leapt from her head so that she looked like an ambulant dandelion. Little firesnakes of magic crackled across her skin as she stepped through the doorway. The students outside watched in horror as she disappeared into the light. ... Its head passed in front of her and she looked directly into an eye big enough to float all the fleets in the world. She had heard it said that if you could look far enough into the direction that Great A'Tuin was staring, you would see the end of the universe. Maybe it was just the set of its beak, but Great A'Tuin looked vaguely hopeful, even optimistic. Perhaps the end of everything wasn't as bad as all that. Dreamlike, she reached out and tried to Borrow the biggest mind in the universe. She stopped herself just in time, like a child with a toy toboggan who expected a little gentle slope and suddenly looks out of the magnificent mountains, snow-covered, stretching into the icefields of infinity. No one would ever Borrow that mind, it would be like trying to drink all the sea. The thoughts that moved through it were as big and as slow as glaciers. [link to novel80.com (secure)] Whoa. The Discworld fell away, and lay below her as it did on the day she had been an eagle. But this time the Circle Sea was below her - it certainly was circular, as if God had run out of ideas - and beyond it lay the arms of the continent, and the long chain of the Ramtops marching all the way to the Hub. There were other continents she had never heard of, and tiny island chains. As her point of view changed, the Rim came into sight. It was night time and, since the Disc's orbiting sun was below the world, it lit up the long waterfall that girdled the Edge. It also lit up Great A'Tuin the World Turtle. Esk had often wondered if the Turtle was really a myth. It seemed a lot of trouble to go to just to move a world. But there It was, almost as big as the Disc it carried, frosted with stardust and pocked with meteor craters.

Quoting: Seer777 From skies so dark I had to turn on the lights, to rainbows to the North, to overcast and broken clouds. Even see a little blue sky poking through here and there. Good day to make cookies. I really enjoy how they fill the house with delicious smells. Taste good too. I saw an episode of one of the baking shows and they made apple crumble. I wanted to make and apple crisp like my mom use to, but don't have enough apples. Going with this: Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookies [link to www.cookingclassy.com (secure)] [link to youtu.be (secure)] Got the apples I needed. 6 Granny Smith. Apple Crisp [link to www.cookingclassy.com (secure)] <-------- [link to youtu.be (secure)] Best apple crisp ever. Highly recommended for good reason. If I made it again, I might use a 9x13. 8x8 was recommended but seemed too many apples to fit well. Sliced my thumb good. It's okay. https://imgur.com/3seeHMR Difficulties strengthen the Mind as labor does the body... ~Seneca |

If I could go back in time and tell my past self it was the beer ruining my sleep.. I knowing myself, would not have listened. I think I always kind of knew but it wasn't something I was willing to give up. If I HAD gone to doctors for some problems it was a causing me, I would not have taken their advice either and instead may have opted for pharms..that would have only been masking the actual problem. Probably a frustrating problem in the medical industry but one that creates a lot of $$$ for the pharmaceutical companies. Much like insulin and $$$ they reap therein.

Extra talented in their own fields to which they feel drawn, not memorizing facts that can be Googled in a moment. Building real-world skills. Classrooms should be competitive and team building, and have real world monetary rewards/internships for the top students within the community. I think that would be ideal, if possible.

With or without a partner. Final project produce something tangible other than a test score. Top student or students receive real world compensation either internships to further study or monetary reward. Could be cash or supplies.
