A special UC Berkeley iSchool course. Phowa. Phowa (Tibetan: འཕོ་བ་; Wylie: 'pho ba; also spelled Powa or Poa phonetically; Sanskrit: saṃkrānti) is a Vajrayāna Buddhist meditation practice.
It may be described as "the practice of conscious dying", "transference of consciousness at the time of death", "mindstream transference", or “enlightenment without meditation” (Wylie: ma-sgom sangs-rgyas). Application of Phowa[edit] The method can be applied at the moment of death to transfer one's consciousness through the top of the head directly into a Buddha-field of one’s choice. By so doing, one bypasses some of the typical experiences that are said to occur after death.[1] Example destinations are Sukhāvatī, Abhirati, Ghanavyūha, Aṭakāvatī, Mount Potala, the Copper-Colored Mountain (Wylie: Zangs-mdog dpal-ri), and Tuṣita;[2] the most popular is Sukhavati.
[citation needed] Phowa is also performed by specialists (Wylie: ’pho-’debs bla-ma) on the behalf of the deceased, as a post-mortem ritual. Quantum Consciousness . Stuart Hameroff. Gödel's incompleteness theorems. Gödel's incompleteness theorems are two theorems of mathematical logic that establish inherent limitations of all but the most trivial axiomatic systems capable of doing arithmetic.
The theorems, proven by Kurt Gödel in 1931, are important both in mathematical logic and in the philosophy of mathematics. The two results are widely, but not universally, interpreted as showing that Hilbert's program to find a complete and consistent set of axioms for all mathematics is impossible, giving a negative answer to Hilbert's second problem. The first incompleteness theorem states that no consistent system of axioms whose theorems can be listed by an "effective procedure" (i.e., any sort of algorithm) is capable of proving all truths about the relations of the natural numbers (arithmetic).
For any such system, there will always be statements about the natural numbers that are true, but that are unprovable within the system.

Typically, if you are working with multiple accounts and/or multiple machines, you benefit from creating multiple SSH identities.
In Mac OSX, GitBash, and Linux you can use the three ssh- commands to create and manage your identities. To support multiple SSH identities in Bitbucket, do the following: Create multiple identities for Mac OSX, GitBash, and Linux You should at this point already have created at least a single default identity. To see if you have a default identity already, list the contents of your .ssh directory. . $ ssh-keygen -f ~/.ssh/personalid -C "personalid" Generating public/private rsa key pair. If you have multiple Bitbucket accounts, you need to generate a new public/private key pair for each account. Create a SSH config file When you have multiple identity files, create a SSH config file mechanisms to create aliases for your various identities. Host alias HostName bitbucket.org IdentityFile ~/.ssh/identity Open a terminal window.Edit the ~/.ssh/config file.
An intro to modern OpenGL. Chapter 1: The Graphics Pipeline. An intro to modern OpenGL.
Chapter 1: The Graphics Pipeline updated April 5, 2010 17:12:05 PDT Table of Contents | Chapter 2 » OpenGL has been around a long time, and from reading all the accumulated layers of documentation out there on the Internet, it's not always clear what parts are historic and what parts are still useful and supported on modern graphics hardware. It's about time for a new OpenGL introduction that walks through the parts that are still relevant today.
Update: Join the Reddit discussion. What is OpenGL? Another recent development has been the adoption of general purpose GPU (GPGPU) libraries, including nVidia's CUDA and Khronos' OpenCL. For these tutorials, I'm going to assume you're already a programmer and that you know C, but that you haven't necessarily seen OpenGL or done graphics programming before. Where do I get OpenGL, GLUT, and GLEW? OpenGL comes standard in some form or another on MacOS X, Windows, and most Linux distributions. The graphics pipeline Conclusion.
