  Anchoring is my memoir. It details what I have uncovered about myself and reality so far, especially in my journey in the healing arts and sciences. In a story telling narrative, I bring the reader on my winding journey to experience the full breadth of experiences impacting my physical, emotional, mental, and energetic self. Topics include past lives, physics, science, our universe, multidimensional realities, nature of how things work, duality of light and dark, numerous beings of our universe, and how things connect. My hope is that it reaches and helps those trying to deal with great suffering, trying to find answers to nagging questions, and ultimately to be comforting.

  The Pine Barrens

  Most people think of New Jersey as a suburban-industrial corridor that runs between New York and Philadelphia. Yet in the low center of the state is a near wilderness, larger than most national parks, which has been known since the seventeenth century as the Pine Barrens. 
   
   
   
  The term refers to the predominant trees in the vast forests that cover the area and to the quality of the soils below, which are too sandy and acid to be good for farming. On all sides, however, developments of one kind or another have gradually moved in, so that now the central and integral forest is reduced to about a thousand square miles. Although New Jersey has the heaviest population density of any state, huge segments of the Pine Barrens remain uninhabited. The few people who dwell in the region, the "Pineys," are little known and often misunderstood. Here McPhee uses his uncanny skills as a journalist to explore the history of the region and describe the people—and their distinctive folklore—who call it home.

  Build reliable, scalable monitoring and alerting systems with Prometheus, PromQL, and real-world demos
  Book Description
  Prometheus has emerged as the leading open-source monitoring solution for building resilient, observable systems, and Hands-On Monitoring and Alerting with Prometheus shows you exactly how to utilize its full potential.
  The book begins with the fundamentals of modern monitoring and the core architecture of Prometheus. Through hands-on labs, you’ll master Prometheus service discovery, labeling, and relabeling to organize metrics at scale.
  Whether you are collecting metrics from Linux machines, Windows servers, Docker containers, or databases, this book equips you with practical skills through real-world examples and tutorials. You will learn how to install and configure Prometheus, use its service discovery features, label and relabel metrics, and build powerful queries using PromQL - all leading to actionable insights through alerts and dashboards.
  You’ll configure alerts and Alertmanager integrations, apply advanced techniques, and put everything together with real-world applications. Each chapter builds practical skills so you can confidently design and operate a robust observability stack.
  Whether you're a DevOps engineer, SRE, or system architect, this book is your gateway to production-grade monitoring. Don’t just collect metrics—turn them into action with Prometheus today.

  Eyes in the Sky - Space...

  Over 50 years ago, astronomers launched the world's first orbiting telescope. This allowed them to gaze further into outer space and examine anything that appears in the sky above our heads, from comets and planets to galaxy clusters and stars. Since then, almost 100 space telescopes have been launched from Earth and are orbiting our planet, with 26 still active and relaying information back to us. 
   
  As a result of these space-based instruments, such as NASA's iconic Hubble Space Telescope, we know much more about the universe than we did half a century ago. But why is Hubble, orbiting just 540 kilometres above the Earth, so much more effective than a ground-based telescope? How can a glorified camera tell us not only what distant objects look like, but their detailed chemical composition and three-dimensional structure as well? 
   
  In Eyes in the Sky, science writer Andrew May takes us on a journey into space to answer these questions and more. Looking at the development of revolutionary instruments, such as Hubble and the James Webb Space Telescope, May explores how such technology has helped us understand the evolution of the Universe.

  Natures Silken Robes - Bombyx...

  Natures Silken Robes :: Bombyx mandarina 
  This poem was inspired by a program I saw on silkworms and their germination and metamorphosis into the adult moths (which they generally never get to because of the demand for their silk). 
  Domesticated silk moths don't survive the silk process of obtaining their silk. The death of the silk moth is not described in this Poem. The silk worm trade has been going for over 5,000 years and cultivated mainly in Asia. 
  The name the 'Silk Road' came about because of this highly lucrative trade. 
  The domesticated silk worms are called Bombyx mori, 
  and their Wild cousins are called Bombyx mandarina.

  Geophysics - The Physics of...

  Geophysics is the branch of Earth sciences that applies the principles of physics to study the Earth's structure, composition, and dynamic processes. It plays a fundamental role in understanding the physical properties of our planet, from the deep interior to the surface and beyond into the atmosphere and magnetosphere. By utilizing various physical measurements and mathematical models, geophysicists investigate phenomena such as earthquakes, gravitational fields, magnetic fields, heat flow, and fluid dynamics. 
  One of the primary objectives of geophysics is to analyze the Earth's subsurface without direct observation, making it an essential tool in fields such as resource exploration, environmental studies, and hazard assessment. Seismic waves generated by natural or artificial sources, for example, allow scientists to infer the structure of the Earth's interior. The variations in Earth's gravity and magnetic fields provide crucial insights into the distribution of mass and the composition of different layers within the planet. 
  Geophysics encompasses a wide range of subfields, each focusing on specific aspects of Earth's physical behavior. Seismology, one of the most well-known branches, studies the propagation of seismic waves to understand earthquakes and the internal structure of the Earth. Geomagnetism examines the Earth's magnetic field, its origins, and its variations over time. Gravimetry focuses on measuring and interpreting variations in the Earth's gravitational field, which can reveal density differences in the subsurface.
