Live demo refuting quantum mechanics, invitation (fwd)

by Jake

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Hello friends of Unquantum, I am doing a live demonstration of the gamma-ray unquantum effect that refutes the photon model of light. It will be at the Chit-Chat Cafe, 5 West Manor Dr, tomorrow Monday night November 18th and Monday night November 25th at 6 to 7:30 PM. The poster for the event and details of this work are at http://www.unquantum.net This issue is important even if you are not a physicist. Not all of you are "friends of unquantum;" some are foes. Some of you will think this unquantum effect is impossible, so this is your chance to see it for yourself. I will video the event to post on Youtube, and will field all questions and feedback. Please forgive me for the following: This is a mass mailing and not personalized. I only do these mailings for important events. I may have sent some of you this notice earlier. The poster on my website has me with my electric guitar. I did it that way to appeal to a wide audience. I will also play a musical instrument I made at the end of the event. For some of you it is a long drive, but I reviewed my list and did not want anyone to feel left out. Each event will be unique but each will demonstrate gamma-rays defying the photon model. If you know anyone who would be interested I hope you will please inform. Thank you for your interest. Eric Reiter Unquantum Laboratory http://www.unquantum.net Pacifica, CA, 94044 650 738 9255

The simplest, most efficient, and most rewarding revenue stream is if members sign up for auto pay of their membership dues. That's really all there is to it.

[sudo revenue] It is almost time - Sudouino Microcontroller

by Hol Gaskill

OK Folks, We've been talking about selling electronics kits as a revenue source basically since forever. I've been going back and forth on a design concept and am converging on one that achieves the folowing compared to other Arduino clones: A) lower cost B) more power C) increased hackability basically the controller chip hooked straight up to an array of 7x 500mA power transistors, with a heavy duty voltage regulator of voltage range selectable at time of purchase I am heading to sudo in a few minutes to draft a design for the first generation board, schematics of which which I'll send out in about an hour. If anyone is around sudo or near email and wants to collaborate, I'm using http://fritzing.org/download/ software which I just installed last night but seems to err on the side of being easy to use. Working capital requirements for this will not be very prohibitive, but I think a Kickstarter campaign would be a good way to get enough to bring costs down even further, not to mention get the word out. Who's good at those? I'll do the legwork, just need some tips&tricks. Cheers, Hol

Fwd: important mail

by David Keenan

sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Laurie Cooperman Rosen <Lscoop(a)comcast.net> Date: Sun, Nov 17, 2013 at 5:08 PM Subject: RE: important mail To: David Keenan <dkeenan44(a)gmail.com> No, David, I DO mean 2145 Broadway. The physical location is 2141 Broadway, but the mailing address should show as 2145 Broadway, Suite #9. That might have something to do with the mail problems. There is no box for 2141 Broadway. That said, most of the mail delivery people know to put it in the 2145 Box, and if it actually gets into the kitchen mailbox which is 2143 next to ours the kitchen folks put all mail that isn’t for them into ours, which is Box B closer to the building; however there is a fair amount of turnover and a lot of idiots out there, and it’s probably much harder to do commercial delivery than residential (which, as I noted before, I always feel safer directing mail to our home).

Can I confirm you really mean 2141 Broadway, not 2145 Broadway? As we were told 2141 Broadway was our address, and this is what we have been using for all our correspondence and event information. If in fact we have an entirely different legal address, that seems rather important to know - Best, David On Sun, Nov 17, 2013 at 3:22 PM, Laurie Cooperman Rosen <Lscoop(a)comcast.net> wrote: Hi David No, it mostly gets tossed if it looks like junk mail, or marked return to sender or address unknown-return to sender if it looks important. At the beginning we got oodles of them all addressed to individual names of people from the original whole-floor tenant, but as we started renting out to individuals and small groups we knew the names of those folks. But over a 10-year period when we see certain company names or #s, such as T1 over and over again but can’t find anybody fessing up to using that name, we recognize and toss those that we have been seeing for many years. I have never seen anything addressed to the name Niki Shelly personally, but I’ll let George know to keep an eye out for that name, and he would remember if he recently saw something for it and will get back to you. Yes, if they address it to 2145 Broadway, Suite 9, we will know that it is for Bay Area Public School. The Sudo Room should be known as the “Art Suite” or “Art Room”. Most suites or very large officer have numbers, but a few have names taken from the former University Tenant --i.e. Robert Wenzel’s is known as “The Cave”, the suite at the top (to the right as you walk up) of the 2141 stairs is the “Library Suite” and the suite next to the ADA bathroom is the “Presidential Suite” (it used to be occupied by the president of University Creation of Spirituality who had the whole floor, and the Library Suite was really their Library); The Cave was their meditation room, the large front space off of your common area was really the “Conference Room” and the space where The Sudo Room was was really the room where they did all of their Art Projects!

It might possubly be addressed to 'Niki Shelley', a main organizer at our school, so do look out for that name. I wonder if there is a suite number for the bay area public school room? Adding this to our official address might clarify to you and George what mail is ours, i.e., in the event mail is adressed to individuals at the school rather than the school itself, which will no doubt occur, if it hasnt already. Do you have any mail for which you dont know where it goes? If so can we see that stack?

Fwd: This Wednesday: Grassroots Financing teach-in

by Vicky Knox

Yet another relevant event put on by the Sustainable Economies Law Center.. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Christina(a)theSELC.org" <christina(a)theselc.org> Hey friends, I'm sending you an event announcement because at some point you've asked me questions about or expressed interest in crowdfunding, creative small business finances or something related. So I thought you might be interested to know that this Wednesday evening my colleague and I are running a little teach-in on legal issues pertaining to "grassroots financing strategies, or in other words, investment crowdfunding campaigns. The teach-in will take place at the Alchemy Collective Cafe's new location on Alcatraz Ave in South Berkeley. We're so excited to be partnering with an awesome new local worker cooperative to organize this and future events. See this eventbrite for more info and to register. There's no required registration fee, but because we're a small nonprofit we gladly accept donations via the eventbrite registration and at our events. Feel free to share the invite with other people. -Christina Christina Oatfield (415) 828-5627 mobile

Dealing with funding

by Marc Juul

In thinking about funding for sudo room, I thought of couple of items that I believe sudo room has discussed before but never formally decided upon. I'd like to propose that we formally decide on the following: * All income and expenses should be open and transparent, including who gave us grants and how much, though anonymous donations from individuals should still be allowed. * sudo room should not allow recurring grants or major donations from other organizations to fund any recurring critical operations costs since that would give those organizations significant power over sudo room through their ability to defund critical operations. Critical operations costs are things such as rent, utilities. Stuff that is required for sudo room to continue operation. What do you think? -- marc/juul

Conflict Resolution Proposal and Conflict Awareness 1, 2 and 3

by Patrick Schmidt

Dear fellow Sudoers, although my 3Dimensial Body left the continent and spontaneously emmigrated to Asia (Updates on Chinese Hackerspaces and Community Spaces to follow), my consciousness is still around. I was a little bit sad two weeks ago to read in the meeting minutes that one name alone was listed under "conflict resolution". I assume that this was done in the absence of our fellow sudoer. I find this a little problematic to be exposed like this and would propose the following: As conflicts (not wanting to talk about inner conflicts within one person) are always among minimum two entities, in case of a conflict all names of all parties involved should be mentioned, and not only the accused (especially in their absence). Conflict awareness 1 : Rejecting a person and not being able to handle a disagreement with compassion reveales a lot about one self. In 99% of the cases the Ego jumps in and goes with separation and rejection as the behaviour of the rejected entity triggers us, in other words: we subconsciously reject others because their behaviour reminds us on what we do not like about ourselves. In this context, lets expand our consciousness and our compassion, and next time we get angry ask ourselves: "what is it within me that is triggered right now by that persons behaviour" Conflict awareness 2 : Everybody lives in their own universe, and an interesting metaphor for people is to comparing them with atoms. In the quantum world of atoms strange rules reign, even things that contradict each other can be true in the same time. So this superposition of realities that contradict each other but simultaneously are true can be applied on human conflicts: both entities have their own side of the story which contradict each other, but yet they can still be true at the same time. (Lesson learned from the first public Sudo conflict) Conflict Awareness 3: Often during a conflict when the egos collide it can get nasty, especially when the ego feels threatened it will accuse, blame, judge,... A good strategy is instead of acusing a person directly, just talk about your feelings and your inner states what the persons behaviour made you feel. In this case, the argument which is likely to follow ("no, this is not true") is not valid, as your feelings are your feelings and they are true in your universe no matter what. ------------------------------------ just felt like sharing these lessons I learned, and I want to thank Sudo crowd for my personal development that especially the conflicts triggered, Im much more Zen, get angry much less at people, also do not identify with my anger but can see how the ego sneacks in... sending you cosmic love from the other side of our beautiful planet, Patrick
