Alright, let us quickly review some of the concepts we've covered in this GIS tutorial. We discussed the interface first. On the top left hand side we have our various layers that we can add to the map. We went through every layer but the event layer. We can add facilities, add health data, and add other supplemental information to the map. On the right hand side we can then add and remove layers as required. We can also zoom in to the map and search different locations on the map. If I want to search, I'll click on the magnifying glass and look for my location. We can add in additional supplementary layers by using the Google Earth Engine or the external layer. Let's add an external layer as an example. We can also add in boundary layers which allow us to add in the administrative boundaries of a particular location that we're interested in. We'll just remove the background layers from the map and we'll add in the boundary layer. We can also add in thematic layers which include information about our health data. Note that the selection of data and periods is a little bit different when compared to pivot tables and the data visualizer. First we select our data and periods together followed by our organization unit. Typically we work with the select levels method of selecting organization units in the GIS application. If I go to options, then we can define our different options. We have the legend type, the classes and method, the color scale and the low and high color size of different points as applied to the map. We can also add in labels and change the aggregation type. You can see when I update the map, the legend is then applied to the map based on the individual options we've selected for that particular thematic layer. Depending on how our data looks we can always change how the data is displayed depending on the options that we select. These are important considerations when making maps within DHIS2. Alright, this ends the GIS session. Please give the exercises a try and let us know if you have any additional questions.


Hi, welcome to the last test in your Prometheus remote byte endpoints. My name is Daniel. I'm a set reliability engineer at Q6.io, and on my free time, I help maintain reference and tempo. You can reach me on some places online, so if you want, please go ahead. So Prometheus offers this remote byte API that lets you send samples for a Prometheus instance to some external backends. There are a lot of compatible backends. Two of the most prominent ones are Cortex and Thanos. Also, it's interesting that Prometheus itself supports remote byte signs 2.25. It's a experimental feature, but it's something very good. So some weeks ago, actually, this is why this talk exists. I deployed Cortex in my cross-existed mode on top of Kubernetes, and I did this for learning purposes. And the setup was great, and I thought that everything was running smoothly, but I had some questions. I wasn't sure if I had configured all the components properly, and I didn't know if I had provisioned enough resources in Kubernetes to handle some basic loads. So what I wanted to do is I wanted to generate some loads on this ingestion path to understand how Cortex will behave and how all the components will work. So I picked my favorite load testing tool for the job, and that tool is Q6. Q6 is an open source tool written in Go that lets you create your tests as code in JavaScript, even the configuration can be code, so you can cap everything on a repository or Q3 repository. I want to say, as a disclaimer, that I work for Q6 for the company behind it, but I have to say that I'm here not because I'm a sponsor or something like that. It's just because I like the tool, and I think that it's useful for some user spaces. So I thought, OK, I can create a test in Q6 using JavaScript for testing my remote write-in point app. That's it. But I'm a little lazy, and I thought, but I don't want to write that much JavaScript. So yeah, here it comes. Disclaimer, this stuff is experimental, but cool, keep that in mind. Earlier this year, Q6 developers added support for Q6 extensions.  So when I saw this, I went to F and I created a bunch of extensions, and one of them was for remote write-in. So this extension is really basic, but we will see how to use it. Yeah, I hope you like it. So for using the extension, you have to create your own Q6 binary. This is very easy. You just have to download the XQ6 helper. And once you have that, you put the version of Q6 that you want to use as a base and put the name of the extensions that you want to bundle onto this new binary. Once we have the binary, we can create our test. As you can see, I'm importing my remote write extension in JavaScript. I'm instantiating a new client pointing to my remote write backend. And once I have that, I can use the store now methods. This method is used for sending a sample to this remote write backend, some labels with some value, right? And storing this sample. Also, I'm checking that the response from this request is 200, because I want to see if everything went right properly. I'm going to run this for 10 seconds and with 50 reproducers. When I run this, Q6 is going to give me a lot of information on how my test, my really basic test performed. I get some basic metrics generated by Q6, but also custom metrics that my extension generates, like, remote request duration and remote write request total. So probably you are thinking, okay, Daniel, it's handy to get this summary, but I would like to see how these metrics perform over time to understand how my test behaves. And Q6 supports this. You can ship your metrics in real time to some backend and to charge them whatever you want. The thing is that Prometheus is not yet supported. So how does the future look like? For the remote write extension, I mean, it's tiny, it works, and it lets you model almost any scenario that you want. You can write your JavaScript codes and model it as any other test. I would like to refactor it a bit to use the official remote write client, but yeah. On the other hand, about the exporter or the output to Prometheus, it's something that we don't have. There are ideas to add the support to Prometheus. There is like a related issue. If you want to have this on Q6, so you think that it's interesting, please go ahead, comment what you will expect of this integration and yeah, just give a like on this if you find it useful. On the other hand, I want to ask that this can be implemented as an exquisit output extension. Someone from community already added one for an influx DB version too. So maybe when this talk is released, we already have one for Prometheus. Thank you a lot for coming to my presentation here at Procom and I hope you have fun. Bye.


The Cavalcade of America, starring Rex Harrison in Experiment at Monticello. Resented by the DuPont Company, makers of better things for better living through chemistry. Experiment at Monticello, starring Rex Harrison as Thomas Jefferson on the DuPont Cavalcade of America. The White House, 18-1. In his study in the executive mansion, Thomas Jefferson newly elected third president of the United States, and his daughter, Patsy, are reading letters that have just arrived by the post. And suddenly, Patsy says... Oh! Oh, my goodness! What is it, my dear? This letter from Philadelphia, Father. There's an outbreak of a smallpox. Jenny Somerset. Jenny Somerset?  A sweet child. And a sister Harriet, too. Oh, Father, do you suppose... Well, they... is it always fatal? Very often, my dear. Smallpox takes a greater toll of our countrymen than any other disease.  Curious you're asking that just now, Patsy? This letter I was reading, it's from a Boston physician named Benjamin Waterhouse. Listen, my dear. Dear Mr. President, I conceive that a work that has for its end the good of the community would not be unacceptable to you. I am, therefore, enclosing my pamphlet entitled A Prospect of Exterminating Smallpox by Means of Vaccination. Hmm, I've heard of this Dr. Waterhouse. He's not precisely a popular figure up there in Boston. Well, if he's poorly thought of, there must be a reason for it. He's probably a charlatan, Father. Not necessarily, my dear. It happens that this good doctor's enemies are man for man. They're very gentlemen who've been most bitter in their denunciation of me. Oh? They're against progress of all kinds, especially in matters of science. No, Patsy, this man's enemies are his recommendation. I shall inquire of Dr. Waterhouse for some of this vaccination matter he says he possesses. And what will you do with it, Father? Well, my dear, tomorrow, as you know, we leave for Monticello. And I shall have it sent there. Monticello? But what will you do with it? I have an idea. I'm not quite sure. I should like a little time to think it over. It's a few days later at Jefferson's home, Monticello. The President has not yet arrived from Washington. And all about the house and grounds, there's an air of expectancy. His tenants and workmen and servants await Jefferson's first visit home as President of the United States. At the far end of the vast lawn under a gnarled oak tree, a boy and girl are sitting, staring pensively at the fleecy sky. The girl is Sally Corker and daughter of Jefferson's overseer. The boy? Well, his name is Bruce, John Bruce. John, how do you address the President of the United States? Mr. President, of course. I wonder if he's changed any. John. Yes, Sally? Would you be wishing to meet him, Mr. Jefferson, after he's rested from his trip, of course? Of course I'd wish to meet him. Who wouldn't wish to meet the President of the United States? The question is, would he wish to meet me, a nobody? And the answer is, no, he wouldn't. You're not a nobody, John. You're brilliant. A brilliant medical student and somebody you're going to be a fine doctor. Oh, that's what you think because... Well, because you're fond of me. Is that why? But that's not enough to make Mr. Jefferson wish to waste any of his valuable time on me. In fact... In fact, if you can arrange to just happen to be strolling about the paddock at about 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, who do you think you'll see? Whom do you think you'll see? That's what I meant, who? Thomas Jefferson? How did you guess? Oh, it's a miracle, John, the way you're always reading a person's mind. And I'll stroll by and lift my hat and say good afternoon, Your Excellency. And he'll say good afternoon, boy, and mistake me for one of the stable hands. Oh, Sally, why on earth should he take the trouble to talk to me? Because he talks to everybody. And particularly because you're a medical student. He's very interested in medicine. So I've heard. He's also interested in architecture, astronomy, mathematics, music and philosophy. He's the man who wrote the Declaration of Independence and the President of the United States. And he's going to drop everything and have a little chat with me. Yes. Why? Because I'll arrange it. How? Well, here, Mr. Jefferson always makes an inspection of Monticello when he comes back from a long trip. That's how I know he'll be at the stables. And Father always goes along with him because Father's the overseer. And tomorrow, Father will take me. And you'll just happen to meet us there and I'll present you. And Mr. Jefferson always suggests tea in the drawing room after the inspection. And when he does, I'll invite you. You wouldn't dare. Why wouldn't I, though? Tea with Mr. Jefferson? Why, I wouldn't know what to say. I'd stutter and, of course, if he talked about medicine, I do know something about that. Then you'll be there at the Paddock at two o'clock. Holy Jerusalem, I'm scared. Well, tell me, man, dear, because I've got to leave here. I'll be there, all right. Goodbye. Sally, do you have to go? Yes, dear. Don't forget the Paddock at two sharp. I suppose he doesn't want to go there. Oh, I'll... Well, I guess your Excellency is finding these tables none too imposing. After down the aisle and yourself in that big castle up there in Washington. On the contrary, Mr. Cochran, a man's home is his castle, and Monticello will always be that to me. Yes, sir. You say you've laid out some new turkey runs. I'd like to see them. Right this way, Mr. President. A father. There are just a few steps past... A father? Yes, Sally. What time is it? Well, let's see now. It lacks but one minute of two o'clock. Now, if your Excellency will kindly come... But, Father, his Excellency hasn't seen the Paddock yet. His Excellency has seen it a hundred times. There's nothing new there. It's the turkey runs... Well, couldn't we just look at the Paddock? No. What time is it, please? It's now about one minute past. Why, are you so interested in the time all of a sudden? One minute past. I don't think I feel very well. No, Sally. I feel faint. No, Sally. You do, do you? I could rest a moment in the Paddock. Sally, if you want to rest in the Paddock, go there and rest. Now, if your Excellency will be good enough to come... No, no, Mr. Cochran. Somehow I too have an overwhelming desire to visit the Paddock. I never before realized the irresistible fascination of that place. After you, my dear Sally. Well, here's the Paddock, Sally. And it looks no different than it ever did. No exception, sir. That rather tense-looking young man pacing up and down near the rail. He seems quite perturbed about something. Would you, by any chance, know who he is, Sally? Oh, who, Mr. President? Which young man? Which one? How many do you see? Oh, that one. Oh, yes, yes. I see which one you mean. Well, do you know him or don't you know him? I don't, my Mr. Cochran. The young man is approaching. I believe we'll soon find a clue to this mystery. Why, Sally? I mean, Miss Cochran, I never dreamed of finding you here. Mr. Drews, what a surprise. Yes, isn't it? Isn't it, though? Mr. President, may I present the young gentleman of my acquaintance, Mr. John Drews. I'm very happy to meet you, young man. It's a great privilege, sir. Excuse me, John, and this is my father. Oh, pleased to make your acquaintance, sir. How do you do? Now, if you'll excuse us, sir. Oh, one moment, Mr. Cochran. I have somehow lost interest in turkey runs for this afternoon. I believe I should like a cup of tea. Would you like that, Sally? Oh, yes, Mr. President. Yes, I thought you would. We're all vapors, of course. Mr. Drews, would you care to join us? Another cup of tea, Sally? No, Mr. President, thank you. Mr. Drews? No, thank you, Mr. President. Well, you may proceed, Mr. Cochran. Well, Mr. President, as I was saying, I've installed the new brick ovens, as you suggested in your office. Yes, excellent. I'll need them for the new extension I'm planning. An entire wing, Mr. Cochran. You've worked well enough, I trust. Oh, sir, we haven't. You see, sir, well, it's a small park, sir. It's took away four of our best men and only last week. Oh, the parks. There's no telling when a man will be took down with it. You see them alive and healthy one minute and a corpse the next. Oh, it's a terrible thing, sir. Terrible. Mr. Cochran, can you describe the symptoms of these men once they've been afflicted? Well, they seem to break out in sores and there's a good deal of regurgitating and pains in the back and a kind of business. I see. Mr. Drews. Yes, sir? As a physician. Oh, not yet, Mr. President. I'm still studying. Oh, but he will be soon, Mr. President. His professors say he's brilliant. Don't they, John? I mean, Mr. Drews. No, of course not. Your Excellency mustn't mind what Sally... I mean, Miss Cochran says. She's just... But I do mind, sir. I think Sally, I mean, Miss Cochran, is a... Seatingly handsome and an intelligent young woman. Oh, thank you, Mr. President. He is brilliant. Mr. Drews, these symptoms you've just heard described, would they warrant a positive diagnosis of smallpox? Yes, sir. They would. Beyond any doubt whatsoever? Beyond any doubt, sir. And, uh, and the cure? There is none, sir. There is no known cure for the smallpox, Mr. President, and no preventive. Really? It seems to me I've heard of something referred to as, uh, vaccination. Oh, that. All my professors up at Boston have spent a great deal of time to explode that theory, Mr. President. Oh, they. And I take it they've exploded it to their own satisfaction. Oh, yes, sir. Nobody believes in that anymore, with the exception of a notorious quack of the name of, uh... Walter House. Yes, sir. That's his name. How did you know that? Mr. Jefferson knows all about a great many things, John. And if I were you, boy, I wouldn't presume to be an authority on anything when talking to the President of the United States. Well, I don't claim to be an authority, Mr. Cochran. It just so happens, however, that the one thing I do know something about is medicine. Why, it's my life's work. Then you'd better be starting me all over again in some other line. You ain't doing so good at it. But look here, sir, I think...  Father John, please. The President. Uh, Mr. Juice, have you heard of a particular matter extracted from the pustules of one afflicted with cowpox, a benign disease, to ward off the ravages of smallpox, a fatal one? Oh, yes, Mr. President, I've heard of it. That's the technique used by that quack, Walter House. I do not believe Dr. Walter House a quack, sir. Why do you? Because my professors have told me here, sir. I see. And are these professors infallible men? Have they never made mistakes? Oh, they're medical men, sir. And begging your excellencies, pardon. I would take their word in a medical matter over that of any layman, even though he be the President of the United States.   It's all right, Mr. Cochran. Uh, young man, you place me in a somewhat surprising position. Here, before, it's been my assumption that blind adherence to tradition was the prerogative of venerable greybeards like myself. While most progress was forced upon us and beneath by the young. You surprise me, sir. May I ask why you're so bitter against this innovation that may possibly save the lives of thousands? The answer, Mr. President, is that it has killed as many as it has saved. Your statistics are debatable. I suppose they were acquired by your professors in Boston. Yes, sir. Mr. Cochran... Mr. Drews, I must admit, sir, to a certain disappointment in you, although I cannot help but admire your courage. If all mankind were to follow your philosophy of closing the mind to progress, we should still be in the Dark Ages. Look at Galileo and Columbus and even our own Eli Whitney. These gentlemen gave no heed to tyrannic professors. Mr. Drews, intellectual tyranny is worse even than political tyranny. An eye, sir, have swore upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of men. Mr. Cochran, at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning you will have assembled on the east portico at Monticello all my tenants, workers, householders, servants and slaves. And I shall proceed to vaccinate one and all with this serum that Dr. Waterhouse was kind enough to send me. Good day, Sally and gentlemen. You are listening to The Cavalcade of America starring Rex Harrison as Thomas Jefferson in experiment at Monticello, presented by the DuPont Company, makers of better things for better living through chemistry. It's the following morning on the east portico of the main house at Monticello. Gathered about the president are his family, his tenants, workmen and slaves, almost a hundred all told. Mr. Jefferson is just concluding his statement in favor of vaccination against smallpox. It is therefore my suggestion, and I do not put this in the form of a command, that you all submit to this newest invention in man's eternal struggle against disease. Before indicating your attitudes in this matter, however, I pray you give heed to this young man here, Mr. Drews, who is a student of medicine, has an opinion quite contrary to mine concerning the merits of vaccination. Permit me to present to you Mr. Drews. I don't know what to say, sir. I feel all mixed up. Tell him what you believe, my boy. The truth to your opinion. Go on, they're waiting. Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know what to say. Needless to remark, I am one of Mr. Jefferson's greatest admirers. I believe it only fair, however, to inform you that this course he intends to pursue, this vaccination, is frowned upon and discouraged by the best medical minds up north. It has resulted in many deaths, just how many as a matter of dispute. And whether these deaths were due to improper vaccination or not, nobody knows. For myself, I would not presume to advise you. I am merely rendering a statement of the fact Thank you for listening to me. Well, I've spoken, Mr. Drews, I've spoken. And now, my friends, the matter is in your hands. We will proceed in an orderly, democratic fashion. When I put the question, will all those who wish to be vaccinated be so good as to respond by saying, I, those otherwise minded, will say, Nay, is that understood? Very well then. The resolution before the house is to be or not to be vaccinated. Let those for the affirmative respond. Against? The resolution is carried. Ladies and gentlemen, I salute you. Kindly appear at this place tomorrow morning at eight o'clock prepared for your vaccinations. It's four o'clock the following afternoon at Monticello. Since eight this morning, men, women and children have been crooping in and out of the East Portico in the first mass vaccination in American history. Thomas Jefferson, alone and unaided, has administered the serum. Standing beside him is his daughter, Patsy, who enters the names in a small notebook. That last one, though, the small girl. Did you get her name, Patsy? Yes, Father, Prudence George. And the one before that, the tall Negro. Yes, Father, it was all Joshua. Ah, well, that finishes it then. Friends, that's all I'll require of you now. You may go back to your homes and your occupations. Some of you may be troubled with a mild handkerchief or a slight touch of fever. It's of no importance and will shortly disappear. I thank you for your cooperation and will visit you individually tomorrow to ascertain your condition. Again, I thank you. Ah, I'll sit down now, Patsy. You look very tired, Father. I am.  I really don't think I could have managed one more inoculation, not today. I'll bring you a cup of tea, Father. That always refreshes you. Thank you, my dear. Good afternoon, Mr. President. Why, Sally, good afternoon. Would you get us a down and smile at a tired old man? It'd be a pleasure, sir. But first, if you don't mind... Yes, Sally? Mr. President, would you be good enough to vaccinate me, please? But, my dear, Sally, I've refrained on purpose from asking you to... I know you have, Mr. President. Not twice this morning and three times this afternoon. I thought perhaps you were angry with me. Why, no idea. I just thought it diplomatic in view of the medical opinions of Mr. Drew. Him? I have no interest in that traitor, sir. Any man who goes against the President of the United States... No, Sally, this is a democracy. Every man has a right to his opinion. Mr.  Is that scientific? It isn't. And in the name of science, I capitulate. That's it. Another patient. Sally, please, don't run away from me. I have nothing to discuss with you. You better, Dick Darnold. But I was only standing up for my honest medical opinion. Even the President wanted me to do that. I have no interest whatsoever in your opinions, medical or otherwise. Oh, Sally, I thought you loved me. I thought so, too. Wasn't it ridiculous of me? Now listen to me, Sally. Don't touch me. My vaccination. You mean you, too? Certainly. I'm proud I am to have been vaccinated in person by the President of the United States. Goodbye to you, Mr. Drews. And all the next day and the next, and well into the following week, President Jefferson made the rounds of his patients, always accompanied by Patsy. Well, Mr. Trimble, and how's your head today? It's much better, sir, but my arm still might have sore. Write that down, Patsy. Mr. Wallace Trimble. Third day, headache disappeared, arm still sore. Mrs. Reynolds, has the fever gone down? Yes, you will see if it's all gone now. But there's kind of a swelling, sir, in the pit of my left arm. Oh, I'll put that down, Patsy. Mrs. Dorothea Reynolds, widow, fever abated, slight swelling of the axillary gland. And how's your youngster, Mrs. Reynolds, any ill effects? Nothing of the kind you worship. It's just like he wasn't vaccinated at all. Oh, well, got that, Patsy. And I shall, Reynolds, age three, fifth day, no ill effects whatsoever. The round of visits continued every day for two weeks. And at the end of that period, all the data was in. Here are the facts. There were no deaths. Now, mark that well, Patsy. No deaths from vaccination. I have it, Father. About one person in five had a slight fever and one in four a headache. You got that? Yes, Father. Only two patients showed soreness about the arms to require common dressings. And mark this, Patsy. After subsequent exposure to the smallpox epidemic raging in this part of Virginia, not one of these people who were vaccinated came down with the disease, a great victory for science, Patsy. It's spring again. A year later, President Jefferson has again returned to Monticello. There he sits on the east portico where the famous mass vaccination took place. Beside him are his daughter Patsy and Sally Corcoran. Out of the shadows a young man appears. He approaches the president. Mr. President? Why, Mr. Groose? How are you, sir? What brings you to Virginia? Well, sir, my college semester is just over. Well, I seized this first opportunity to pay you a visit. And a privilege it is to have you, sir. By the way, you remember my daughter Patsy? Certainly. How do you do, Mrs. Randolph? Welcome to Monticello, Mr. Groose. And, of course, you recall Sally. I mean Miss Corcoran. How do, Miss Corcoran? How do, Mr. Groose? Well, Mr. President, I came down here for one purpose and one purpose. Indeed? I wonder what that could be, sir? To apologize, Mr. President. To apologize to you in person about the matter of vaccination for smallpox. Oh, yes, yes. I do seem to recall something about our being on opposite sides of the road and that little affair. Oh, sir, you were absolutely right in your premise from beginning to end. Up in Boston, we too have followed the methods laid down by Dr. Waterhouse and applied by you. Of the hundreds we vaccinated with a cowpox serum, not one has ever been afflicted with smallpox, even when he visited some area where an epidemic was raging. Well, sir, my professors offer their congratulations. Well, thank you, Mr. Groose, and kindly convey my esteemed regards to those gentlemen of learning. I will, sir. Thank you. Well, Mr. President, that's really all I came down here for, to apologize. And I've done it, and very handsomely too, if I may say so. Well, I guess that's all. Goodbye, Mr. President. Goodbye, Mr. Groose. Oh, well, goodbye then. Goodbye. Oh, Mr. Groose. Yes, Mr. President. It just occurs to me that there's a bright moon along the garden path tonight. Perhaps you'd care to go for a stroll before you leave. I mean, Ms. Corcoran, what I... Do I have your permission, Mrs. Randolph? Their name is the juice. Do I have your permission, Sally? Oh, yes, John. I'm thinking I'd like that very much. Thomas Jefferson, 1743 to 1826. Architect, astronomer, mathematician, philosopher and statesman. Amateur musician. Inventor, scientist. And student of everything else his agile mind touched upon. President of the United States. Author of the Declaration of Independence. And courageous exponent of the shining credo that dominated his life. I believe in equal and exact justice to all men. Whatever state or persuasion, religious or political. And I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.

لدينا حديث من الممالين من أهل البيت عن تحليل الخوم هناك حديث صحيح من أمام عالي بنابي طالب عاليسلام من أخر الممالين تقول أم الخوم فقد أبيح علي شيعتنا أو لأعلى شيعة أحللناهم من الخوم لدينا تنقذهم من الخوم لا يجب أن نستخدم الخوم نحن لدي هذه التعاونة حسناً، الكثير من المهم يسألون ما يحدثونهم إذا كانت أمام عالي بنابي يسألون الشيعة من تحليل الخوم فلماذا يجب أن يكون هناك حديث من الممالين يقولون أنه يجب أن يكون هناك حديث من الممالين لكي يجب أن يكون هناك حديث من الممالين سأخبركم بشكل جداً سأخبركم بشكل جداً سأخبركم بشكل جداً إذا كانت كاندا أو هناك في نوفاكوشيا one law says you have to pay tax on your house how much is property tax how much is property tax here 10% 13% 1% of the value of the property okay let's say it's 1% let's say if you have a house that's worth $500,000 you have to pay $5,000 let's say so one law says homeowners have to pay property tax then you get a second law that says homeowners don't have to pay tax now there seems to be a contradiction then you have a third law that says if you are married you don't pay tax after looking at these three laws together and you're trying to reconcile them what is the conclusion that you draw from these three laws what is the conclusion one law says homeowners pay tax one law contradicts it says no they don't have to pay tax the third law says if you're married you pay tax how do you reconcile between these three if you don't get married then you're doomed you have to pay the tax the conclusion from a legal perspective if you're reconciling these laws is that you say okay those who are married they're exempt from this type of tax and if you're not married you're not exempt so the law that says you have to pay those who are not married and the law that says you don't have to pay it's aimed at the married ones you see how technically you resolve this this is the same exact situation we have with the Khoms we have hadiths that say you have to pay Khoms it's wajib we have hadith that say the Shia have been relieved from paying the Khoms meaning it's not wajib so now there might be a contradiction well we have a third category of hadiths that say the following if you receive something from someone as a gift or you buy something from someone knowing that that person doesn't pay Khoms so the gift that you have in your hand is Khoms applicable one-fifth of it does not belong to you it belongs to its rightful owners you buy a house from someone let's say you buy a house from someone that person is not a Shia is not a Muslim they don't pay their Khoms or they don't even believe in Khoms now if you take that house from them technically one-fifth of it doesn't belong to them or no if they never paid their Khoms but doesn't belong to them one-fifth of it doesn't belong to them because one-fifth of everything that people make is to the Khoms category the hadith from the Imam says the following if you buy that house yes one-fifth of it goes to the share of the Imam to the share of the poor family members of the Prophet but we have relieved our Shia because life would be so difficult if they have to observe that anybody who gives you a gift pay the Khoms of it somebody invites you for a meal and they don't pay their Khoms well can you eat that meal or no if 20% of it is not your lawful share that would make life miserable for us so the hadith came to do what came to say if you receive inheritance if you receive a gift if you receive anything from someone they did not pay the Khoms it's on them not on you take it for you it's Halal so all those narrations that talk about making the Khoms not applicable to the Shia which type of category are they talking about this type of category that you get from someone and they did not pay it I know some people ask the following questions say it my father never paid Khoms in his life and he died and now I have inheritance he never even believed in Khoms let's say or he knew it was Wajib he didn't care now that I get this inheritance do I have to pay the Khoms on it no you don't have to pay the Khoms on it the Imams have made it lawful why? to make it easier for you the sin is on your father not you so those hadiths that talk about are looking at this particular category so for some people to take these hadiths out of context that is something that should be avoided from doing my dear brothers and sisters all of our hadiths have a system there is a legal system through these legal channels we must examine them I can't take something out of context and come and issue my own fatwas on it so my dear brothers and sisters we now have examined this very important subject in the school of Ahl al-Bait peace be upon them and I remind you that the verse of Surah al-Anfal is the verse that all the Imams of Ahl al-Bait have cited it's well found in the Holy Quran and in our hadith and my final point just to remind you is that yes there are concerns no one denies that there is some misuse here and there but that doesn't mean if there is some misuse that you denounce the whole idea you denounce the whole concept you have to look at the history of it you have to look at the benefits of it one has a problem with one area there are many many other alternatives that you can see


This is actually the cover of a piece of sheet music that was published in 1864 in New York. This is the American Petroleum Polka, or Chottischer Gallup or Waltzer March. And it has a picture of a beautiful Pennsylvania scene. The oil well spouting its oil.  And they're bragging. This oil well threw pure oil a hundred feet high. People understood the value that you get from oil, from petroleum, and they celebrated that.


Item Number – SCP-077 Object Class – Euclid Special Containment Procedures – SCP-077 is to be kept in Research Sector 861 on top of a 0.5m steel pedestal in a 3mx3mx3m chamber with 0.5m thick steel reinforced walls. The reinforced steel hatch door to the chambers to comply with AH-37 protocol. It is to be guarded at all times by two level one personnel. A boom mic connected to a speech recognition system should verify that all pronunciation is within standards. A camera is to be mounted within the chamber to record any changes. Every eight hours, a minimum of two, but preferably three, trained D-class personnel are to enter the containment area and, in a loud, clear voice, read the runes etched onto SCP-077 in unison. The reading must be performed by individuals who understand the full meaning of the runes being read, who are able to pronounce the entirety of the inscription correctly, and, who are no more than 30cm away from SCP-077. All personnel must undergo a one week training session with Foundation linguists for pronunciation, reading, and dialect coaching. A minimum of 20 D-class personnel are to be trained or undergoing training at all times. Trained D-class personnel are exempt from termination until such time as they have been replaced. Foundation linguists are to remain on call in case of an unexpected rune change. Every new set of runes is to be transcribed into phonetic English, and provided with literal and idiomatic translations as quickly as possible. The cafeteria menu for Research Sector 861 must not include any potatoes or potato based ingredients.  The runes change every lunar month, defined by the full moon rising above the horizon in Ireland, as well as at the winter and summer solstices, the spring and autumn equinoxes, and whatever a partial, annular, or total solar or lunar eclipse is visible from Ireland. If these engravings are not read aloud at least once within a 24 hour period, the eye sockets and nasal cavity of SCP-077 will emit SCP-077-1. SCP-077-1 is a luminescent green vapor, whose precise nature remains undetermined. It is to be noted that, although SCP-077-1 behaves as a normal gas in all other ways, it only occupies those spaces which are within SCP-077's effective line of sight, and does not flow into the space behind SCP-077, unless confined. Opaque impermeable barriers with no biological content can provide temporary protection from SCP-077-1. However, attempts to permanently contain SCP-077 within opaque containers have failed, due to the artifacts production of sufficient quantities of SCP-077-1 to explosively rupture these containers. All biological material, with the obvious exception of SCP-077 itself, which comes in contact with SCP-077-1, is instantly transformed into a viscous, malodorous ooze. The ooze has been identified as the rotted flesh of potato tubers, Solonium tuberosum, which have been severely infected with the potato blight, Phytophthora infestans. One cubic centimeter of SCP-077-1 transforms upwards of 800 grams of biological material. Reading SCP-077's engravings has noticeable, if transient, effects on the health of the readers. These effects include nausea, cramps, headache, dizziness, incontinence, fever, skin rashes, nosebleeds, and fugue states. Effects intensify as the time between readings increases, and can become cumulative for individuals who read the engravings too many times consecutively and or too frequently. Raiders have a 60% chance of developing an allergy to potatoes. Addendum 077-1, the artifact was recovered in the village of F*** Ireland. Locals had built a shrine around the artifact, where upwards of F*** participants would also engage in a nightly ritual. Fragmentary historical documents, retrieved from the remnants of the village church and library, indicate that the artifact existed as early as 1848, at which point in time it is described in highly positive terms, including protector and... By 1869, however, references to the artifact are fearful, resentful, and couched in euphemism. Item number SCP-089, Object Class, Euclid. Special Containment Procedures SCP-089 is stored in a special shipping container at Site 36 and monitored for locution events. Mobile Task Force Mu-89, consisting of personnel with advanced training in linguistics, psychology, and tactical diplomacy, has been deployed in order to respond to such events. Upon the occurrence of a locution event, Mobile Task Force Mu-89 is to translate and interpret the location, so as to identify the primary subjects of that triggering, herein designated as SCP-089-A and SCP-089-B, then execute Protocol M-8, which consists of the following steps. 1. Transport SCP-089 to SCP-089-A's location, and explain Protocol M-8 to SCP-089-B, and 2. At such time as SCP-089-B is prepared to voluntarily execute Protocol M-8, render to SCP-089-B any assistance as SCP-089-B may request, in connection with SCP-089-B performing the following actions, inserting SCP-089-A into the cavity together with inflammable materials, such as oiled wood or charcoal, then igniting them. The successful execution of Protocol M-8 requires the voluntary compliance of SCP-089-B in a sober and uncoerced state. Likewise, SCP-089-A must be conscious and alert during the execution of the protocol. It is recommended that SCP-089-B be restrained, although not sedated, following ignition, so as to avoid interference with the completion of the protocol, as the process is extremely painful and fatal to SCP-089-A. If SCP-089-B refuses to voluntarily execute Protocol M-8, in accordance with the aforementioned specifications, MTF-MU-89 is to explain the prospective consequences of failing to successfully complete the protocol, and make every effort to persuade SCP-089-B to cooperate. If MTF-MU-89's best efforts to persuade SCP-089-B are unsuccessful, SCP-089 is to be redesignated as Keter Class, then Protocol M-9 is to be executed. The use of intimidation, threats, or mind-altering drugs or intoxicants, in an effort to affect SCP-089-B's free will, and any attempt to complete Protocol M-8 without SCP-089-B's participation or voluntary cooperation, or otherwise other than as described, are strictly prohibited since these measures invalidate the attempted completion of the protocol, and are known to intensify the severity of the Attendant Type-S event. It is also recommended, although not a required part of Protocol M-8, to cause the execution of Step 2 of Protocol M-8 to be accompanied by the sounding of horns and percussion instruments, as doing so may mask the sounds by SCP-089-A during the execution of the protocol. Upon a successful execution of Protocol M-8, the related Type-S event generally begins to abate within 7 hours. Description SCP-089 is a glazed earthenware statue, approximately 3 meters in height, depicting a winged, bull-headed humanoid with an open mouth. The front of the statue's torso is hinged, and can be opened from the top to reveal a cavity, approximately 0.6 cubic meters in volume, and can be locked from the outside. The rear of the statue bears an inscription in a Canaanite language, possibly Punic. Dr. P. P. translated an excerpt of the text as, Nightmare of Molok, Molok the Loveless, Mental Molok, Molok the Heavy Judge of Men. The statue dates from approximately the 2nd century BCE. On infrequent occasions, sometimes separated by periods in excess of a century, the statue speaks. The mechanism by which these sounds are made is not understood, and the mouth of the statue does not move. The statue's locutions are in a Canaanite language, probably the same language as the inscription, and consist of, the name or description of SCP-089-A, a demand for Protocol M-8 to be accomplished, together with instructions for doing so, and a description of the attendant Type-S event in figurative language. Each Locution event is followed within a period of 3 to 11 days, by the commencement of a Type-S event meeting the description given in the Locution event, unless Protocol M-8 has already been completed. Each Type-S event is an epidemic, natural disaster, mass hysteria involving genocide or other massacres, or other event involving extensive damage to property and loss of human lives, over a period of time that continues, until Protocol M-8 is successfully completed. In the case of each documented Locution event, the attendant Type-S event, while significant, is limited to a geographic area that does not directly affect SCP-089-B. This has, in some documented cases, resulted in the pendency of a Type-S event for an extended duration of time, due to SCP-089-B's unawareness of SCP-089, or of Protocol M-8, or to SCP-089-B's unwillingness to undertake Protocol M-8, in order to arrest the Type-S event. For each Locution event, SCP-089-A is a healthy, unblemished human infant or child, between 8 months and 6 years of age, and SCP-089-B is that child's natural mother. In all documented cases, at the time of the Locution event, SCP-089-A and B are each alive and healthy, and experience a strong bond of trust and affection with each other. Following SCP-089-B's placement of SCP-089-A in the cavity, and the ignition of the Inflammable Materials, SCP-089-A will burn, and be destroyed over a period of 2 to 5 hours. Addendum 1 Memo to file from Dr. Garcia While the role of SCP-089 in actually causing Type-S events is unclear, experience has demonstrated that the prompt and precise application of Protocol M-8 is effective in limiting the damage that they do. Dr. Patel has speculated that SCP-089-B does not cause Type-S events, but merely anticipates them and provides a means to mitigate their effects. Addendum 2 A partial list of documented Type-S events that were terminated by means of Protocol M-8, including of documented completions of Protocol M-8 that predate the Foundation's acquisition of custody of SCP-089, follows. Date of Locution, March 21, 1788 Description of Type-S event and Locution event The flames shall consume their houses, yay, and their markets, and their temples, and all of their dwelling places, they shall be destroyed. Type-S event, fire in city of... Outcome, Protocol M-8 completed on day 29 after Locution event, 66% of city's buildings destroyed. Date of Locution, December 2, 1850 Description of Type-S event and Locution event The false prophet shall gather the multitude unto him, and cast them against the princes. They shall each of them be slain, and their fields made barren. Type-S event, large-scale messianic-based peasant uprising in an undisclosed location. Outcome, Protocol M-8 completed on day 1,363 after Locution event, massacres associated with uprising and its suppression, and attendant agricultural collapse, account for several million casualties. Date of Locution, November 23, 1951 Description of Type-S event and Locution event, the earth shall tremble, and the seas shall rise and be cast against the earth, and the mountain shall vomit fire, its voice shall be darkness and death. Type-S event, earthquake and volcanic eruption in an undisclosed location. Outcome, Protocol M-8 executed within 31 hours of Locution event. No tsunami resulted, although geological models had anticipated that one would occur from a seismic event in that area. No fatalities. Date of Locution, November 7, 1970 Description of Type-S event and Locution event, the rains shall scour the earth, and sweep away man and his beasts, and all his works. The Deleuze shall take them all. Type-S event, Cyclone in an undisclosed location. Outcome, Protocol M-8 executed on day 49 after Locution event. Casualties from flooding, disease, and starvation estimated several thousand. Date of Locution, April 4, 2009 Description of Type-S event and Locution event, data expunged. Type-S event, data expunged. Outcome, ongoing. Protocol M-8 not yet executed. Item number, SCP-2317, Object Class, Keter. Site and personnel requirements. Under special order of 05-1, the following addendum is attached to the beginning of the file for SCP-2317. All personnel assigned to SCP-2317 must rotate out for one month of psychological counseling after two months on site. SCP-2317 is to be kept at an undisclosed location. All personnel assigned to SCP-231 will be transported there blindfolded from Site-19, by a route including no fewer than seven different forms of transportation, including but not limited to aircraft, automobile, underground tunnel, and... Removal of the blindfold during the transport process is grounds for immediate termination. All personnel assigned to SCP-2317 must undergo heavy psychological testing before being cleared to enter the site. Individuals must score at least 72 points on the Milgram obedience examination, be unmarried, have no offspring, and express nothing less than total loyalty to the Foundation. Normal psychological screening procedures against AXIS-2 disorders are waived, so long as the class D personnel in question has the mental capacity to carry out procedure 110 Montauk as needed. Personnel who express sympathy towards SCP-2317's plight and or express a desire to rescue or sympathize towards SCP-2317 will be transferred to another project without delay. Any actual rescue attempts will be met with immediate termination. Personnel who have served on the staff of SCP-2317's containment team are not required to divulge that information to others. No official record shall be kept of the names of any staff assigned to SCP-2317, nor will said service appear in the personnel files of said staff. While on site, individuals assigned to SCP-2317 will be issued concealing helmets with integrated voice changers to protect their identity. On-site staff are not to remove said uniforms in the presence of other staff members. Off-duty hours are to be spent in private quarters, alone. Six class D personnel are to be assigned to SCP-2317 each month for the purposes of carrying out procedure 110 Montauk. Violent criminals are not to be used for this purpose due to the possibility of accidental fatality during the 110 Montauk process. Special Containment Procedures Following repeated escape and suicide attempts, and based on the failure of containment for SCP-2311 through six, containment of SCP-2317 has been amended to the following. SCP-231 is to be contained within a soundproof holding cell, adjacent to holding cells for six class D personnel, assigned for the purposes of procedure 110 Montauk. Cameras will monitor every inch of the cell at all times, and must be manned 24 hours a day. Malfunctioning monitoring equipment will be replaced without delay by psychologically screened staff. Doors will be magnetically locked, openable only by positive action by the control and monitoring facility. This includes all doors linking the main holding cell to those of the six class D personnel. SCP-2317 is to be kept restrained to a hospital bed at all times, except for the purposes of procedure 110 Montauk. Hydration will be provided through IV drip. Feeding will be carried out twice per day through feeding tube, by approved medical personnel who have not taken the Hippocratic Oath. Under no circumstances are narcotics, anesthesia, or other unapproved medications to be administered to SCP-2317. Procedure 110 Montauk is to be carried out at least once every 24 hours by class D personnel. During procedure 110 Montauk, at least one security clearance 4 slash 231 staff member must monitor the procedure by camera at all times. Although the sound may be turned off if the vocalizations of SCP-2317 become too distressing, following the procedure, all class D personnel must return to their holding cells, or explosive collars will be detonated. Description SCP-2317 is a female between years of age with data expunged. SCP-2311 through 7 were retrieved following a police raid on a warehouse owned by an organization called the Children of the Scarlet King. 24 hours after the rescue, SCP-2311 went into labor pains, giving birth three minutes later to SCP-2317, causing a event resulting in numerous confirmed casualties. Foundation personnel immediately took possession of remaining SCPs 2312 through 2317 and, based on notebooks recovered from the cult, instituted procedure 110 Montauk to prevent future occurrences. Addendum 231A, Current Status of SCP-231 Units SCP-2311 deceased, killed during initial recovery operations while giving birth to SCP-2312 deceased, killed during attempt to remove fetus of second SCP specimen resulting in immediate event. SCP-2313 deceased, self-terminated following a prolonged period of distress caused by implementation of procedure 110 Montauk. SCP-2314 deceased, attempted to administer SCP-500, although successful in that all traces of SCP were expelled from the system, expelled remains immediately underwent a event causing numerous casualties, including SCP-2314 herself. SCP-2315 deceased, botched application of procedure 110 Montauk resulted in SCP-2315 giving birth to SCP-1 hour later, which then underwent a event. Recruitment profile of Class D personnel was revised to minimize possibility of a second botched procedure 110 Montauk.  Said agent obtained possession of SCP- and attempted to use said weapon to rescue SCP-2316 and SCP-2317. Said agent was killed in the resulting firefight, but a stray round resulted in the termination of SCP-2316 as well. Fetus of SCP-2316's SCP- then underwent a event. In the wake of this incident, 05 level personnel voted by unanimous decision to amend personnel policies. SCP-2317, as of date undisclosed, SCP-2317 is successfully contained at Site- Addendum 231-B, text of Missive by 05- Dear friends, it has come to my attention that recently, certain rumors have surfaced regarding SCP-231. Due to the drop in staff morale, I have decided to address some of the more prevalent points. Yes, procedure 110 Montauk is as horrible as you have heard, which is why only Class D personnel are authorized to carry it out. Yes, it does involve brutal- No, assignment to SCP-231 is not intended to test your loyalty to the Foundation, your tendencies towards- Or anything else. No, SCP-231 is not a punishment detail. Yes, there are staff members who have been on SCP-231 and have successfully transferred out by their own request. No, not everyone who's worked on SCP-231 is terminated upon leaving the project. Yes, staff members who have been assigned to SCP-231 are allowed to take a Class A amnesiac before leaving the project if so desired. Yes, false memories are then implanted. No, none of the supposed methods for recovering or detecting false memories work. Yes, there are some of you who've worked on SCP-231 and don't remember it. No, we have not given up trying to save SCP-231-7, but research in that field must be carried out with the utmost of caution. Based on the increased potency of each subsequent event associated with each subsequent SCP-231 specimen, there is a strong possibility that SCP-231-7's event could result in an XK Class End of the World scenario. This information is corroborated in notebooks recovered from the cultists. No, putting the poor girl out of her misery is not an option. Neither is drugging her. She has to be aware of what is going on for 110 Montauk to work. One final note. The Foundation does many distasteful things in the completion of our mission, but our mission is important enough that the price is one we must pay. End of SCP-231 is one of our most dangerous duties, not because of any direct danger to ourselves like SCP-682, but because of the danger that our resolve will fail, that we will allow ourselves to either let down our guard due to sympathy for the suffering of an innocent or that we will allow ourselves to become monsters through the performance of monstrous acts. Just do your jobs and save the philosophizing for the shrink. Don't believe it when they say they're trying to save her. Why would they bother? They've got exactly what they want, exactly where they want it. Addendum 231C Update 231-7's emotional response to procedure 110 Montauk appears to be reduced recently, despite proper execution of said procedure, increasing danger of SCP-682 undergoing a bad event. Two options have been proposed. One, development of a new containment procedure with higher emotional response than procedure 110 Montauk. Two, administration of a class A amnestic to SCP-231-7, allowing for a return to base emotional response state. Said memory modification is to be administered during execution of procedure 110 Montauk to maintain heightened emotional state following memory reset. As advised, the doctor never tells his God which one he really seeks. Instead he hides himself away and quietly he weeps. Doctor, addendum 231D Decision Proverbs 132 Carry out option two at the first available opportunity. Their God's own voice, he makes the choice, declaring with their word, in fear and pain let her remain, lest she be like the third. O5, addendum 231E Aftermath Ezekiel 614 Option two was carried out. SCP-231-7's emotional state returned to 100% efficacy. Doctor subsequently committed suicide due to heightened emotional stress. We'll continue analysis of efficacy of treatment. The doctor's gun ended his run as he put it to his ear. As she was defiled, the pitied child, he gave in to his fear. Doctor, addendum 231F Continued analysis of efficacy of treatment. Revelation 1821-24 After some analysis, I have determined that it is not necessary to perform memory modification every time procedure 110 Montauk is carried out. In fact, it is better to delay for some time before re-administering the agent. Analysis of subject 231-7's emotional response indicates that efficacy of procedure 110 Montauk seems to peak between the third and fourth performance of the procedure. The dread of anticipation of events seems to heighten emotional response for a time before familiarity with the procedure begins to lessen the efficacy of treatment. My recommendation is that Class A amnestics be administered once a week during procedure 110 Montauk. The calendar has been modified accordingly. Her memory, a fickle thing, the strongest shall endure. When her weeping starts to waver, their drugs make her mind pure. Item number SCP-282 Object Class Safe Special Containment Procedures SCP-282 should be kept in a containment locker, outfitted with a standard array of explosive, chemical, biological, and mimetic high-level defenses. Personnel entering SCP-282's containment must be verified with a retinal scanner, and no experimentation sessions lasting longer than three hours are permitted. Description SCP-282 is a children's toy, recovered from the truck atoll in Micronesia. SCP-282 is in the shape of a set of devil or juggling sticks, apparently made from locally available materials. Historical and cultural sources show that SCP-282 was originally used by natives of its island of origin as part of an elaborate annual ritual known as R.I.P. Literally translated as, he moves, to bring good luck for the following year. Numerous anomalies on the island alerted the foundation to SCP-282's presence, including exceptionally long harvest seasons, several unknown species of fruit growing locally, and reports by missionaries of strange lights and noises, and packs of children who appeared identical. Historical research on SCP-282's properties is pending. Addendum 282A Cleanup operations in the truck atoll have recovered large amounts of information, including a nearly complete set of use instructions for SCP-282. Operations in the atoll will be reduced, and despite apprehension from teams assisting in recovery of SCP-282, full testing as to whether anomalous properties can be recreated will continue. Addendum 282B Personnel of level 4 or above may view incident report 282CB, as of any attempts to recreate the effects of SCP-282 are punishable by termination. All remaining information is to be classified. Data Expunged Addendum 282C Materials seized from a residence on the truck atoll resembled an incomplete replica of SCP-282. As the replica, seemingly in the process of creation, demonstrates no anomalous properties, it has been added to SCP-282's containment until such a time as we can ascertain its nature. Foundation-operated coercion revealed little information as to how or why it was created, but did indicate that more civilians in the area of recovery may know how or be interested in creating similar replicas. Whether the recovered replica is identical to SCP-282 is unknown. Date Report 282CB Personal log of Dr. J. Garrison, date undisclosed. Attempts to recreate the ritual described in documents 28214-17 are slow-going, mostly due to the exhausting requirements of using SCP-282. First of all, it took us half a week to find anyone at the site who can actually use juggling sticks. For reference, researcher M. Munoz, a medical technology analyst, was ultimately chosen as the subject. Second, SCP-282 are apparently very difficult to use, compared to ordinary juggling sticks, so we had to spend a few weeks working on that. Third, and most persistent and annoyingly, the instructions we have call for the subject to juggle with SCP-282 constantly for 36 hours, with a low rate of error, and no dropping the stick. And that's the reason it's taken us two months so far. They can talk about dedication, and project funding and results, but the stamina required is damn near superhuman. It's been suggested that we apply an intravenous drip of caffeine and electrolytes to maintain alertness, and I'm willing to try that. Number 0. Subject stands in a 10 meter by 10 meter blast chamber that has been prepared according to recovered instructions. Among other preparations, subject stands in the center of a 1.5 meter diameter circle marked with native flowers, with a goat's head at the interior point. Surrounding this circle is a 3 meter circle marked with a mixture of goat and chicken entrails, mashed by hand with wooden implements.  One chicken skeleton and one goat skeleton have been laid around the room, outside the perimeter of the final circle. The subject, medical technician M. Munoz, with attached intravenous drip, stands in the center with SCP-282. Subject begins to use SCP-282. Number 1. Subject continues with no major errors in play or reports of anomalies. Vital signs are all normal. Six hours already. He hasn't dropped it yet. Very hopeful that this time will be it. I watched through the plate glass, get nervous every time he fumbles. Every time.  I'm worried it might be an effect of the SCP, so I told the standing guard, but I think it's more stress than a mental pull. Time to call a secondary observer in, and sleep on the cod in here. Woke up, and he's still going. Note. Instruments in testing chamber showed that subject's heart rate had increased slightly by this point in time. Hour 18. Subject notes sounds of laughter from inside the testing chamber. Outside observer notes nothing abnormal. Hour 23. Subject becomes increasingly paranoid, claiming that the experiment won't work and asking if he can stop. Encouraged to continue juggling, and at no point does the subject drop the stick. Hypothesized to be a stress reaction. Hour 26. Subject claims to feel a breeze in the chamber. Signs of strong winds are apparent when animal skeletons outside the circles are moved as if being blown. However, none of the flowers in the first circle are disturbed, nor is subject's play impaired. Hour 27. All lights in chamber abruptly dim. In addition, the outer circle appears to completely and suddenly disappear from view. Signs of wind, despite the enclosed and subterranean nature of the blast chamber, have increased. Subject is encouraged to continue juggling. Note. Later records show no electrical issues with chamber lights. Hypothesized to be an effect of the SCP. Hour 30. Subject reports feeling cold, senses affirm that the temperature inside the chamber has dropped 20 degrees. Continues juggling. I nearly can't believe he's kept it moving this long. Obviously, the error frequency was expected to go up as the time goes longer, but he hasn't dropped it once, and the error rate seems to have decreased like it's getting ingrained. Here comes the final stretch. Looks tired. I don't blame him. Hour 32. Second circle moves as if being blown inwards, then disappears entirely. Subject makes no note of this. After 10 minutes, animal skeletons around the perimeter of the chamber stand up, despite lack of muscle or connective tissue. Subject becomes unresponsive, muttering quietly. Hour 33. Final circle disappears and lights dim again, until area inside chamber is completely dark. Observers note a voice exclaiming, he moves, before sounds of juggling cease and a clattering noise is heard. Class 2 lockdown is ordered. Note, further analysis through infrared camera reveals that at hour 3314, the subject's knees buckle and after muttering loudly before footage is interrupted by several bright flashes, apparently only visible to infrared sensors. During this time, subject disappears entirely and SCP-282 falls to the ground. Hour 34. Shows of juggling resume from inside the chamber. Note, infrared cameras show that a figure not corresponding to M-MUNOS appeared in the testing chamber, recovered SCP-282 from the floor and continued juggling while laughing quietly. Hour 35. Several more infrared flashes occur, some of which now translate into flashes in the visible spectrum. Containment chamber is very dark. At 3528 hours, side of containment chamber is ruptured by a sudden heat, measuring over 100 degrees Celsius. Camera footage shows the unknown force proceeding to destroy obstacles in its path via obliteration, moving up an emergency stairwell, damaging stairwell but without compromising it structurally. At ground level, it proceeds to carve a route through the facility, until the perimeter of sightment is reached, at which point it is no longer seen. All of the above take place within 4.7 seconds. Nearby personnel report seeing only a bright hot light. Note, camera footage shows that upon compromising the perimeter of the facility, the force paused for several milliseconds, then disappeared, as opposed to exiting the facility. Infrared footage from the testing chamber shows that it is completely empty at this time. Within several seconds, light in testing chamber returns to normal. Subject has returned to testing chamber, collapsed on the floor, with SCP-282 nearby as if dropped. In addition, a fine layer of ash covers the testing room floor. Paramedic teams rush in. Subject is currently undergoing treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder, and is expected to resume normal operations shortly. After action report. From interview with subject M. Munoz. I'm, I'm juggling, right? Like I've been doing for the last, tell, whole day.  Everything went black, and I knew that I had moved, that I was somewhere else, because I knew there wasn't a floor or ceiling or those goddamn sticks where I was. Just nothing really, and the darkness. And then it was there, goddamn it. I knew it, that there was something else there, even though I couldn't see or hear or feel it, because there was nothing to see or hear or feel. It was just waiting there, keeping me there, waiting for me to do something. I curled up in this little ball, tried to make it not notice me, but it was there breathing down my neck the whole time. In the end, I just told it I wanted to leave, that was it. Failed data. Overwhelmed in property damage was caused by incident 282-CB, and containment of three separate SCPs were compromised. Because of this, current sanctions on experimentation with SCP-282 were put in place. Item number, SCP-360. Object Class, Euclid. Special Containment Procedures. Two agents embedded in airport security and Sky Martial agencies worldwide are to monitor air travelers and chartered flights for suspected activity related to SCP-360. Individuals suspected of attempting SCP-360 are to be detained, questioned, and administered a Class A amnestic. All items related to the activation of SCP-360 are to be confiscated for research. In confirmed cases of SCP-360 activation, Foundation response teams are to enact media suppression and prevent dissemination of knowledge pertaining to the incident. Flight crew and passenger witnesses are to be administered a Class B amnestic and given a cover story. Description. SCP-360 is an anomalous ritual that ostensibly allows a single living human subject to ascend to a higher plane of existence. When performed at an altitude of 10,500 meters or higher, affected subjects emit a blinding light, and a burst of high energy radiation for several seconds, then disappear. The radiation dosage is negligible and does not pose any long-term danger to affected individuals. However, due to the altitude required for successful activation, SCP-360 has resulted in numerous aviation incidents involving both public and private aircraft. When questioned, numerous witnesses of SCP-360 activation events, particularly those identifying as devout religious adherents, have reportedly experienced auditory and or visual hallucinations consistent with their religious beliefs. These have taken the form of seeing the affected subject with luminescent wings or a halo prior to disappearance, music with no identifiable source, religious iconography or imagery, or a feeling that they were in the vicinity of a powerful presence. To date, no individual who has successfully performed SCP-360 has ever been recovered. Addendum 361. Investigation Log. Following thorough interrogation of individuals detained prior to a successful activation of SCP-360, it has been determined that in every case, knowledge of SCP-360 has been disseminated through a multi-page letter sent to the individual's residence. This letter reportedly contains self-help information, instructions for performing SCP-360, as well as a final message encouraging the reader to forward the contents onto other interested individuals. The vast majority of interrogated individuals had already forwarded the letter, but on one instance was successfully contained by members of Mobile Task Force Alpha-4, Pony Express, prior to mail pickup by local postal employees. The contents of the handwritten letter, which have been determined to be non-anomalous, are as follows. To whom it may concern. Faith is real, but devotion is a myth. God exists. In fact, all gods exist. They are real, and their power is real, but their motivations are childish and petulant. Whether you believe in salvation, transcendence, or reincarnation, these are but hoops in the petty games that they would have you believe to be necessary. Real peace is found within you, and no priest or rabbi can tell you otherwise. When you learn to accept and love yourself, that's when the world finally falls into place, and the truth becomes clear. Let go of the empty words pretending to guide you to true happiness.  From those who have gone before to those who are about to come, we are here, waiting. Not as gods or angels, but as brothers and sisters. The remainder of the document describes two items required for successful activation of SCP-360, as well as the procedure required to complete the ritual. You will need a token, something from a loved one, a gift from a child, a flower from a spouse, or a toy from a parent, something that means something to you. You will need to mix a potion. The ingredients are simple, but need to be precise. 50 milliliters of purified water, one crushed mint leaf, 5 grams of dried willow bark, 3 milliliters of tea tree oil, 500 milligrams of acetaminophen. Combine ingredients and simmer over low heat until it turns luminous gold. 1. Fly. Lift yourself above the highest peaks, where the air is thin and the heavens are close. Angels and demons may be the messengers of the usurpers, but they have wings for a reason. 2. Hold your token close to your heart. Remember how you felt when it was given, cherish that feeling, and let it grow within you. 3. Take the potion. Let it numb the body and free your spirit. 4. Repeat these words. 5. Be free. Pass this on to those who need it. You know who they are, and you always wish that there was more you could do to help. They will find you and thank you for it. That's a promise. Due to the continued occurrence of incidents confirmed or suspected to be related to SCP-360, it is suspected that additional instances of this documentation remain uncontained. MTF Alpha 4 is continuing to monitor postal services for instances and contain them as they become identified. Item Number SCP-361 Object Class Safe Special Containment Procedures SCP-361 is to be kept in a standard artifact containment unit in Site-19's high-value wing. SCP-361 is to be kept in a cool and dry environment to prevent damage to the aged metal it is composed of and thoroughly cleaned after each use. Description SCP-361 is a bronze atruscan artifact in the shape of a sheep's liver. SCP-361 is covered in the names of atruscan gods and instructions for various religious rites and is believed to have served as a tool for practicing herespacy, divination using animal organs. SCP-361 bears a strong resemblance to the non-anomalous artifact known as the liver of Piacenza, with which it was originally found during the late 19th century. Both artifacts date to the 2nd and 3rd century BCE, to the province of Piacenza, Italy. SCP-361's anomalous properties manifest if it comes into contact with a sheep's liver, removed no more than three hours before interacting with SCP-361. When such contact is made, SCP-361 will vocalize, in a language and tone appropriate to the one introducing the liver to it, a set of instructions meant to achieve contact with one of the gods or spirits depicted in the writings covering it, through a service it refers to as Horusco. If these instructions are performed correctly within a period of 30 seconds, SCP-361 will provide a new set of instructions. SCP-361's instructions will grow increasingly convoluted, and or nonsensical, until becoming almost impossible to perform under the given time limit. Order to follow an instruction will cause SCP-361 to become inactive for a period of 24 hours. Test log, SCP-361. Test 361A. Stage 1. A sheep's liver is introduced to SCP-361. Vocalization. Welcome to Horusco. Your sacrifice is very important to us. For Tinia the Thunderer, please perform a horizontal incision on the offering. For Ida of the Underworld, please perform a vertical incision.  Stage 2. A horizontal incision is made. Vocalization. You have selected Tinia. For your weekly meteorological divination, please sing your offering over an open flame for 5 seconds. For warning bolts, please place a green olive on the altar. For beseechments and beneficial interventions, please attach a written consent from the Consulate Gods. For catastrophes, please remove the head of an adult ox and hold. Stage 3. The liver is singed over an open flame. Vocalization. You have selected weekly meteorological divination. For your local forecast, please perform the seven sacred rites of Tinia while avoiding the anger of the mildew spirits. For forecasts for other areas, please perform the rites upon a boat of three masts or more. For a marital forecast, please consult with your local priestess of uni. Stage 4. Researchers were unable to comply with the instructions in the given timeframe. Vocalization. No input was received. This sacrifice will be disconnected. Thank you for using Horace Co. Razna's number one divination and dayistic petition service for more than 2,000 years. The gods are looking forward to your next call. SCP-361 enters in active state. Addendum SCP-361-A. In order to examine the limits of SCP-361's ability to alter the language and tone it uses to interact with its user, a subject with a similar cultural origin to SCP-361 was required. For that purpose, a request for interaction between SCP-361 and SCP-1510, the persona of which originates from the same general area and time period, was made and accepted. Test 361b. Stage 1. Stage D-1510-104. Wearing SCP-1510, introduces a sheep's liver to SCP-361. Vocalization. SCP-361 vocalizes in classical Latin, the language spoken by SCP-15101. The instruction is translated to, Son of Romulus. Speak the words thy father taught you, and your watcher will speak, his words carried by our spirit. Stage 2. SCP-15101 chants several phrases in Latin, later identified as an oath to Mars Gradovis. Vocalization. SCP-361's instruction is translated to, Place the aspect of your watcher at his feet so he might see your altered form. Stage 3. SCP-15101 requests an open flame. He is given a camping gas lamp. SCP-1510 places the lit gas lamp at the feet of the table SCP-361 is placed on. Vocalization. SCP-361's instruction is translated to, Speak the duty of your watcher so he might judge your worthiness. Stage 4. SCP-15101 speaks a Latin phrase, later identified as Mars Gradovus's Oath. To guard, preserve, and protect the state, the peace, and the senate. Vocalization. SCP-361's instruction is translated to, Show your watcher that you do not stand alone. Does he who guards your left carry with him your watcher's conviction? Stage 5. SCP-15101 requests one of the supervising researchers to enter the room and touch SCP-361. Request granted. Vocalization. SCP-361 speaks in a different voice, still in classical Latin. Courage Publius. This too shall pass. When Rust claims your soul at last, Valor will make you into Aeneas and carry you beyond these shores, to rest among your fathers. The voice was later identified by SCP-15101 as the voice of the Persona's father. SCP-361 enters in active state.


etween, I've got it open here. Between the buildings, from building face to building face, it's 98 feet. From the curb to back of curb. So that would include the parking lanes, it's 57 feet. All right. And Scott, do you remember? We might have got that. A lot of the lower density residential stuff, the 10-foot lanes, typically when we get into commercial, we use the 12s. Unless it's only one way. So it's a practical matter. The thing about, as difficult as diagonal parking sometimes is, it allows us to reduce the travel lane, because you're not backing straight out, you're backing out at an angle. So you're able to ratchet down the width of the drive lanes. But at 12 feet, you also have actually ample room for bicycles, for example. Yes. You could have an informal bike lane along the, or formal. Absolutely. Well, I don't know if it's a good idea to bike along the back of angled parking cars. The beauty of this design is that it is a living street, and it is an organizing spine for the development. But the axis on the south is the dog park, and on the north is a building. It's not a high speed through drive. And the intent is to slow down traffic as much as we can, because you want people to stop parking, you want people to see the activity. Kind of balance Frank's comment with John's comment. I think in the Burlington scenario, where you're driving down Main Street, yeah, the angled parking is really challenging, because you have a through road coming and that's funneling all traffic into downtown Burlington. That's really problematic. But if you go over to St. Paul Street, where there's more of a street presence and pedestrian presence, it actually works a lot better. And this is a much, this is even a slower speed environment than St. Paul. Yeah, so it's not as objectionable in St. Paul's that is on. So just a time check, it's 947. And I still want to open it up for public comment. But is there, are there any before we not close, but conclude tonight? Are there any comments or things you want us to go away with? Yeah. I think two final things is obviously what we're trying to do here, which has been a common theme, you know, in all the years we've been in front of you guys through permitting is balance the security that you guys need to make sure that we're providing you with a high quality product when we're asking you for a variety of waivers. And we're trying to balance the fact that we're committing to a tremendous amount of infrastructure and setting aside green space and all these public amenities.  And so we're trying to balance that. And then the second point I'll make is that this is really the kind of the culmination of the vision that we've been pitching for, you know, seven years now, which is a variety of living styles, a walkable pedestrian oriented development that has, you know, for sale ownership, apartment rentals, it has town homes that has this transition town homes. And then you have the higher density piece, as well as the retail and amenities to support it. So it's really kind of the vision coming to fruition. And I think, you know, I'm really excited. I think we're all really excited about the way this is panning out. So we appreciate everybody's patience and getting to this point. Anything else? Any parting comments before we conclude? Let me just reiterate or clarify again. I mean, the essential, you know, the biggest aspect of what we're seeking at this level is to secure that design guide, which includes height allowances for buildings to be up to five stories over parking with a step back for the fifth story and proposes those glazing standards and some setback reductions. And the question then is that list of nine or 10 things, the central organizing feature, you know, maybe they're saying we need to adequately accommodate for bikes or for, you know, in future applications, other things that have come up that you want to, you know, add to this list. But how do we evaluate these future plans? You know, in order to grant this waiver now, if you want that waiver secure in the future, your project needs to achieve these goals. And I think because the waiver is important because the height limit in this area is like 30 feet and the level of infrastructure investment that we're committing to in the, for the 155 homes far exceeds the ability of those homes to fund it. And so the ability to develop this zone in the manner that we're showing is important to the project and that's the piece we're seeking to solidify now that height waiver, the setback waivers, and then what's the framework that makes all that work. And I think that the only sort of remaining question that would be great to, you know, the parking issue that Marla had brought up the frontage and viewing it block by block. I think if there was one last thing that we heard from you guys, your opinion on that would probably be helpful just in terms of finalizing the proposals. Okay, great. So I'm going to open it up for public comment and one more quick sure, go ahead. Question for Joe, is there anything about the, again, this is conceptual that is unique to, I'll just call it winter cities, urban design. There's ways of trying to expand the envelope into the winter months for a vibrant pedestrian environment. There's other examples of things that you've incorporated that are unique to, you know, obviously this is at Minneapolis with the sky bridges or Montreal with the underground, but is there any features that can be drawn in to expand that use of the zone in the winter months? Yeah, there are a lot of things that we've learned a lot actually since COVID and how to really create a 12 month outdoor zone out in front of these areas. And we haven't gotten into detail about it, but with some of the overhead perhaps there's pergolas that could be outfitted with heaters, things like that. But nothing more than that. I think the most dynamic spaces that we've done and I've seen are the ones that are essentially convertible states that people are creative and figure out a way. When you try to force a design like Minneapolis, it took 20 years to figure out what to do with them and they're still trying to figure it out. And I think being flexible too, I think what we've learned is you don't design a space for one purpose that you design it to accommodate a lot of different activities. Thank you. Thank you. So we're going to go to public comment, but am I correct in thinking they're back here, not at next meeting, but the meeting after? That was going to be my suggestion. Okay. Does that work for you guys? Okay. Let's open it up for public comment. Are there any members of the public online or on the phone who would like to comment? There are no members of the public online or on the phone. Okay. And there's nobody here. Okay. All right. Thank you for your patience. Thank you for being here. And we'll see you back here in about a month. So we're going to have to take a motion to continue. Yes, we are. I moved to continue this application. To October 6th. Okay. Oh, second. Thank you. Any discussion? I'll in favor of the motion to continue to October 6th. Say aye. Aye. Aye. Opposed? There. Okay. The motion is carried. Thank you all. And we have a set of minutes to review. Thank you. People had a chance. Thanks to everybody. Thank you again. Have people had a chance to look at the minutes? I did. Would anyone like to propose? Just remember you have members online still. Pardon. Just remember you have members online. I have to hear you still. Okay. Yeah. Do I have a motion about the minutes? It's the date. I know I looked at them, but August 2nd. Motion to approve minutes from August 2nd. Okay. Second. I'll second. Second. All right. We all second. Any discussion? All in favor say aye. Aye. The minutes are approved. All right. Did you want to do another business? Oh, for me. I am just curious for an update about the dog park. It's got a lot of coverage. A lot of people are talking about it. Yeah. In the context of Don's question to me was, you know, people are blaming the DRB. And we thought it might make sense to kind of explain what it happened and what the DRB's role is. So when the DRB review in the dog park and, you know, if this might be, we might all already know this. When the DRB reviewed the dog park, the DRB's authority was limited to the wetland impacts. The dog park is largely a fence. And the fence, fences in South Wellington that are under four feet are subject to our rules, but not to permitting. So when they went out there and they installed the fence, not in the location that was on the plans, that's really incidental to the DRB's review. And so we wouldn't have them come back for a new permitting because the fence is in a different location unless the wetland impacts were different. I've seen the field delineation of where they actually installed it. I've seen the Aspilts. The wetland impacts are different on one side, not on the other. We are not taking any enforcement action on that until they kind of decide where they want to go from here. They may be modifying it to go back to the originally proposed wetland impacts. And if so, then there's nothing that you guys need to do. If they end up keeping the impacts, they might come back for an after-the-fact permit to modify their approved impacts. But the portion that was the largest change is actually outside of the DRB's jurisdiction. And the change that's in the field has nothing to do with your decision. Thank you. And who's they? The dog park committee? So it was designed by the dog park committee, but when DPW staff went to install it with the help of surveyors, the surveyors found that the limits were within an easement that immigrated the common roots. So they had to squash it north somewhat. And then I think there were some topographic challenges that squashed at east to west a little bit. Yeah. All right. Well, thank you for that update. So don't take any blame. All right. Good night, everyone. Good night. Thank you. Thank you. Good night.
