I just remember randomly reading somewhere that 14070hz is pretty much universally PSK31 around the world. I think alot of HAM user's usually use that or RTTY. Plus of course CW or "morse code". I've also seen Hellschreiber used a few times (you know on news channels that show stock prices going across the bottom of the screen? sortof like this It's basically like in the old days, a printer would print out on a thin piece of paper to update stock at remote locations. They use Hellschriber as the transmission method). Though it's been awhile.


Also if you're REALLY lucky you can capture SSTV color images being sent over radio. I haven't caught one yet but i'm probably just not looking around the right frequencies. They have a very specific tone though. You can try it out for fun though if you have the first Portal game. They had an easter egg of some sort using SSTV. Like this


The "closest" i've been able to capture images was just some weather map lol. In black and white but it was something. But! This was off my own radio i got off of Amazon. The Tecsun PL-600 (I wrote a super long but probably boring review on Amazon's page, under the name Mobius there if you want to read it). It was pretty cool though. I saved an image of it.

I sometimes need help seeing it too :p

You don't need school to learn how to do that. It's true for most things in life but it is even easier with computer science.

Want to learn C ? No school will ever teach it better than the book The C Programming Language (also called K&R) by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie.
Want to learn C++ ? You should start with C or C# or Java and then go for Programming: Principles and Practice Using C++ by Bjarne Stroustrup.
Want to learn Python ? Go to python.org and pick a tutorial.
Want to learn Javascript ? Eloquent JavaScript by Marijn Haverbeke.
Want to learn HTML5 ? Maybe have a look at diveintohtml5.info or W3Schools
Want to learn Java ? The Java Programming Language by Ken Arnold or Head First Java by Kathy Sierra.

You need two things, time and will. You'd be surprise how easy it is to learn all those things if you like it and if you have a dream project.

edit: Woh, thanks for the gold. :D

I've been using a similar app for my anxiety disorder and it's basically this same thing except even better with way more sounds and features.

|APP NAME|iOS|Android|other OS|PRICE|RATING|No IAP|No Ads|Notes|
|:---|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|
| Relax Melodies Oriental Premium |iOS (demo) • iPad (demo)|Android (demo)||$3|★★★★★|❤|❤|White noise and zen sounds for sleep, relaxation, yoga, and meditation.|

I've used that app both on my iphone and android for a long time, but I've found myself drifting toward pre-recorded mixes that require less effort.

Here's a good one on Spotify called Nature Sounds Relaxation and Tibetan Chakra Meditation. I like it because it's already well balanced so you don't have to fiddle with volume levels. Also it's free, so that's cool.

And finally there's this thing someone posted on my subreddit:

Is there a geographical disparity between where sharks are tagged? I skimmed the site and it seems like they focus on Atlantic sharks but there are ones in various other places. I'd just like to know more about their methodology before drawing conclusions about where they predominantly live. For instance, the Farallon Islands off of San Francisco are a known meeting place for great whites from all over the pacific. I don't remember all the details but eh... I read that one book by Susan Casey that was interesting. Thank you for providing an interesting data visualization!!

Man, wasn't it so good?! I just found out it's turning into a movie, but idk how well that would work. I got the audiobook for it, and Wil Wheaton narrating it was goddamn perfect! I think that's the best medium for a story like this that's heavy on internal narration.

Also, I'm currently reading/listening to Off to be the Wizard, by Scott Meyers. Somewhat similar, but extremely enjoyable, and the narrator on this audiobook is damn good too! http://www.amazon.com/Off-Be-Wizard-Magic-2-0/dp/1612184715

If you're interested for your own interest and not for college, I'd recommend starting with books written for a general audience like

The Cartoon Introduction to Economics

Freakonomics

The Armchair Economist

Spin Free Economics

Lastly, Lives of the Laureates offers biographical accounts of 23 Nobel Laureates in Economics. I find it interesting since it offers insights into the minds of the Laureates, their intellectual process, and some of the most important contributions within the economics community.

I also often recommend Economics in the Afterlife to people since it shows that economists have no shame and economics can really be applied to anything.

You could probably find PDFs online of some of these books if you were so inclined.

Well the number one rule is to try to touch the html/css as little as possible. Store references to html nodes, pull nodes out of layout if you're going to modify them heavily, use timeouts if you have a long running operation, use requestanimationframe for dom manipulation, etc.

There are more, but those are the big ones off the top of my head. You want to STAY in the javascript space as much as possible.

There are some great articles about making the javascript itself performant, but I found this very short book to be really helpful: http://www.amazon.com/Performance-JavaScript-Faster-Application-Interfaces/dp/059680279X

It's a couple years old but absolutely still relevant.

Here's a link to the reviews:

Some samples:

> I wasn't going to buy this watch, but then I noticed Amazon had it with $58,000 off! What a deal. With the money I saved I purchased a brand new BMW and still had money left over for a Disney vacation. How many watches save you money to buy a car and a vacation?

> Now whenever I see someone with money troubles I tell them to buy this watch and save $58,000. I am considering buying 10 of these watches so I can save $580,000 and buy a house on cash. Retirement saving is also no longer a concern for me, as I plan to buy one every year and live off the $58,000 I save.

> I had decided on this watch, but then I noticed the shipping charge. Outrageous! I'm shelling out close to 100k, and they want me to take care of the shipping too. Forget it!

Thanks! I actually have a "best of" book on Amazon here:

I don't really pitch it enough on the site, but thanks for support!

Really all you gotta do is look at the description underneath the IN STOCK message.

Seems like every product where they've sold it for next to nothing on those review trading websites all use the same template.

• A FEW WORDS IN ALL CAPS: then a description further trying to sell you on this feature.
  
• MORE WORDS IN ALL CAPS: continued description of simple things like made of plastic as being a feature.
  
  Every time I see a product with like 5-8 of those description lines I always find reviews saying "Got this product at a discount for an honest review"
  
  like:

Dr Kilpatrick's book is great at simplifying reading disabilities. His PASS screener is also awesome and I'd highly recommend using it in conjunction with the CTOP for phonological assessment. If you want more info just PM me.

Great community effort :) Much like the plutonium reviews on Amazon.

Neither of these comments involves a diagnosis that is contained in the dsm, so there is no diagnosing going on. Anyone who says they can't leave their daughter for an hour knows this is a problem. The average layman would make the same observation as this is general knowledge. Its very understandable and not terribly uncommon in PTSD. I have just such a case right now.

Attempts to understand an insulting and inaccurate attack on line are not exactly clinical practice and when you insult people you can not really expect anything else. If you had just expressed your doubtfulness on the speed of EMDR or done a quick google search rather than asserting your limited knowledge as an authority we would not have ended up here.

This has been fun, but not really that fun. And I am in the middle of a day off so want to move on with my day. Let me leave u with just a few thoughts. The results I get are not gotten by all EMDR therapists, but are common to all those who persevere to really learn the skill. And not all client can get these results, but I have already said both of these things.
I hope you will pick up the Shapiro book. Its been out since 98 so no longer cutting edge but u should be able to find it at a used internet bookstore cheap.

The cutting edge stuff now is called brain spotting and its even simpler to do than EMDR and developed out of EMDR. The APA just recognized it over a year ago and are allowing training in it to be used towards state licensure. Since it is easier to learn and to do it may be even faster than EMDR. But finding a practitioner is unlikely at present. There are none in my county. Soon as I get a need for further cont ed credits and a few grand extra I'll travel for 3 weekends to get the training. If you really want to update your knowledge that would be the direction to go in. And Francine's latest book is a guide to using self tapping as a self help skill. The authors of this post may be interested in that. https://www.amazon.com/Getting-Past-Your-Self-Help-Techniques/dp/1609619951/ref=pd_sim_14_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=J9MHD02JHV5TA23CETV3

In another 10 years, it is quite possible that traditional therapy will be rare and too expensive to do. EMDR, EFT, and Brain spotting will have forced it out. In 20 years, its highly probable that traditional therapy will exist only for the very wealthy and the very sick.

Hijacking this comment to re-post:

The way you breathe is also incredibly important, not just the timing. Anyone using this site should read up a bit on diaphragmatic breathing , it's such a fundamentally important relaxation technique (especially for working with anxiety/stress) that IIRC it's actually the first chapter of The Relaxation and Stress Reduction Workbook

Another great optimistic outlook is Steven Pinker's new book, [Enlightenment Now](https://www.amazon.com/Enlightenment-Now-Science-Humanism-Progress/dp/0525427570)

:whispers: Oh shit. This is wonderful. Thank you. :/whispers:

Might I recommend you include a link to Shapiro's book that is essentially a manual for running through EMDR yourself?

I completely agree with the therapists that have commented that self-administering can have negative consequences. However, I am so grateful to have this as a 'refresher' for lighter work, for people that have been led through it properly before.

Again and seriously, thank you. Well done.

What it thinks of that one uranium product. Essentially a joke product

Did you find "the" database?
