As I’ve been learning more about Scala and functional programming, I’ve been looking at accomplishing more tasks with recursive programming techniques. As part of my studies, I put together a number of Scala recursion examples below, including:
Scala, Java, Unix, MacOS tutorials (page 13)
The goal of serving mankind is a noble one. Unless, of course, it happens to be in a Twilight Zone episode. ;)
If you ever wondered how much it costs to have your thyroid removed, the answer seems to be $33,000. And that doesn’t include the costs of everything else related to the process, including initial identification, biopsies, heart tests, radiation treatment, etc. The total cost for the last 4-5 months is probably over $60,000.

“Better to be on the edge of a party, don’t you think?” Good line, great movie.
At one point when I was recovering from a surgery I wasn’t feeling very well, so I ended up watching a lot of movies, including 13 Going on 30. I was struck not only by the humor of this particular scene in the movie, but also the empathy.
This photo was taken somewhere in British Columbia, Canada. I know where, but I’m not telling. :) The thing I don’t know is whether these trees are Aspen or Cottonwood or White Birch. I suspect that they are White Birch or Paper Birch, but I could easily be wrong, as I haven’t looked into it much, and didn’t ask any of the locals.
Here’s a story on 91-year-old meditation master Ruth Denison.

Maharaji often said “Sub ek,” which is translated as, “All one,” or, “All is one.” Per my collection of Ram Dass books, he said this in other ways as well:
“Everywhere I look I see only Ram (God).”
“See no difference, see all the same.”
“You can’t realize God if you see differences.”
(There are many more instances, but that’s good enough for today.)
~ Maharaji (Neem Karoli Baba).

“Stay in the ajna chakra (the point between the eyebrows, also known as the third eye) and think only of me.”

quoted in Miracle Of Love
When some devotees questioned him about hatha yoga — a physical method of attaining union with God — Maharajji told them: “Hatha yoga is okay if you are strictly brahmacharya. Otherwise it is dangerous. It is the difficult way to raise kundalini. You can raise kundalini by devotion and by feeding people. Kundalini does not necessarily manifest as outer symptoms; it can be awakened quietly."
~ Maharaji (Neem Karoli Baba).
