Health Department says no more CBD oil in drinks
The Grand Traverse County Health Department is telling coffee shops to stop serving Cannabidiol (CBD)-infused drinks. So far they've sent cease and desist letters to three cafes that served CBD-infused lattes: Espresso Bay, Black Market and Cuppa Joe.
CBD is a derivative of cannabis without the psychotropic effects of the drug.
Dan Thorell with the Grand Traverse County Health Department says CBD oil is still new, so many people don't know the rules.

Before King Oberon's bright diadem, sceptre, and mantle, clasp'd with dewy gem
Frighted away the Dryads and the Fauns, from rushes green, and brakes, and cowslip'd lawns,
The ever-smitten hermes empty left his golden thone, bent warm on amorous theft...

Trump Administration Seeks To Take Gray Wolf Off Endangered Species List
By Laurel Wamsley • Mar 8, 2019
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will seek to end federal protections for the gray wolf throughout the lower 48 states, Acting Secretary of the Interior David Bernhardt announced Wednesday.
In a statement, the Fish and Wildlife Service said it will propose a rule to remove the gray wolf from the endangered species list and "return management of the species to the states and tribes." That means states would be able to make their own rules about hunting and culling of gray wolf populations.

The orienting response (OR), also called orienting reflex, is an organism's immediate response to a change in its environment, when that change is not sudden enough to elicit the startle reflex. The phenomenon was first described by Russian physiologist Ivan Sechenov in his 1863 book Reflexes of the Brain, and the term ('ориентировочный рефлекс' in Russian) was coined by Ivan Pavlov, who also referred to it as the Shto takoye? (Что такое? or What is it?) reflex. The orienting response is a reaction to novel or significant stimuli. In the 1950s the orienting response was studied systematically by the Russian scientist Evgeny Sokolov, who documented the phenomenon called "habituation", referring to a gradual "familiarity effect" and reduction of the orienting response with repeated stimulus presentations.

Researchers have found a number of physiological mechanisms associated with OR, including changes in phasic and tonic skin conductance response (SCR), electroencephalogram (EEG), and heart rate following a novel or significant stimulus.  These observations all occur within seconds of stimulus introduction.  In particular, EEG studies of OR have corresponded particularly with the P300 wave and P3a component of the OR-related event-related potential (ERP).

Neural correlates

Current understanding of the localization of OR in the brain is still unclear.  In one study using fMRI and SCR, researchers found novel visual stimuli associated with SCR responses typical of an OR also corresponded to activation in the hippocampus, anterior cingulate gyrus, and ventromedial prefrontal cortex.  These regions are also believed to be largely responsible for emotion, decision making, and memory.  Increases in cerebellar and extrastriate cortex were also recorded, which are significantly implicated in visual perception and processing.

Function
When an individual encounters a novel environmental stimulus, such as a bright flash of light or a sudden loud noise, they will pay attention to it even before identifying it. This orienting reflex seems to be present early in development, as babies will turn their head toward an environmental change (Nelson Cowan, 1995).  From an evolutionary perspective, this mechanism is useful in reacting quickly to events that call for immediate action.

Habituation
Sokolov's investigation of OR was primarily motivated in understanding habituation.  Provided the first introduction of a novel stimulus, defined in Sokolovian terms as any change from the "currently active neuronal model" (what the individual is currently focused on), results in OR.  However, with repeated introduction of the same stimulus, the orienting response will decrease in intensity and eventually cease.  When novel stimuli have an associated contextual significance, repeated stimulus will still result in a sequentially decreasing OR, though at a modified rate of decay.

Orienting in decision-making
The orienting response is believed to play an integral role in preference formation.   When faced with deciding between two options, subjects in studies by Simion & Shimojo were shown to choose the items they preferentially orient their gaze toward.  This gaze can occur while the stimulus is present or after it has been removed, the latter causing gaze to be fixated at the point in which the stimulus had been present.  Gaze bias ceases following a decision, suggesting that gaze bias is the cause of preference and not its effect. Noting this postulated causal link with the irrelevance of a stimulus presence, it is argued that gaze orientation supports decision-making mechanisms in inducing a preferential bias.

Role between emotion and attention
Both novelty and significance of a stimulation are implicated in the generation of an orienting response.  Specifically, the emotional significance of a stimulus, defined by its level of pleasantness, can affect the intensity of the orienting response toward focusing attention on a subject.  Studies showed that during exposure to neutral and emotionally significant novel images, both pleasant and unpleasant images produced higher skin conductance readings than neutral images.   With repeated stimulation, all skin conductance readings diminished relative to novel introduction, though with emotionally significant content diminishing more slowly.  Conversely, studies observing cardiac deceleration during novel stimuli introduction showed significantly more deceleration for unpleasant stimuli compared to pleasant and neutral stimuli.  These findings suggest that OR represents a combination of responses that act in tandem to a common stimulus.  More importantly, the differences between emotionally charged and neutral stimuli demonstrates the influence of emotion in orienting attention, despite novelty.

In relation to therapy
The orienting response has been posited as being stimulated by bilateral stimulation, and being the active ingredient in Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy.

In popular culture
In his 2007 book The Assault on Reason, Al Gore posited that watching television affects the orienting response, an effect similar to vicarious traumatization.

We recently hired a gentleman in his 50s to work in our warehouse. You are probably thinking that is something that happens fairly regularly, and you are correct in thinking that. What made this hire so special is that the man we hired had not had regular work or a place of his own to live in for many years. Now that he works for us, he has been able to get his own place, and he is very, very grateful. We hired him after he worked for us as a temp for a while. We were able to see first-hand how incredibly reliable and hardworking he is, so we hired him for our first available permanent position.
The sad fact is that if we had not known him as a temp, he would simply not have come on our radar. If he had just applied within a pool of job seekers, we would not have selected him for an interview. He just doesn't have the education or experience of many of the other people looking to work for us. And in passing him over, we would have missed out on a truly amazing employee, and he would have missed his chance for independence, self-reliance and restored self-esteem. How sad that missed chance would have been for all of us!
Our new employee's story of his inability to find regular work despite intense drive and motivation leads to reflection about what is going on with our economy. People say that the recession is over, and unemployment rates have begun to drop. But the national unemployment rate, stuck stubbornly high at over 7 percent, only tells part of the story.
It neglects the fact that low-wage workers are competing with higher-educated and better-trained workers for low-wage jobs. Mid-wage occupations constituted 60 percent of recession losses but account for only 22 percent of recovery growth. By contrast, low-wage jobs represented 21 percent of recession losses, but made up 58 percent of recovery growth.
It neglects the reality that many of those who have been able to find employment are working for less income than they were before the recession. Adjusted for inflation, the income of the bottom 40 percent actually fell six percent from 2009 to 2012. There are still more than three job seekers for every one position available. With so many skilled workers competing for low-skill jobs, wages are depressed.
Finally, it neglects the fact that those who are lucky enough to find a job may not be getting the hours they need. In addition to the 11.3 million individuals unemployed, an additional 7.9 million people who want to work are working part time because their hours have been cut back or they could not find full-time work.
These facts remind us why low-income households are always the last to recover after a recession; why unemployment among college graduates is 3.5 percent, but remains at 11.3 percent for those with less than a high school diploma.
The dark truth behind the unemployment numbers is that millions of families are still struggling to make ends meet. Millions of Americans are struggling just to put food on the table.
That is why it is so disturbing that Congress is considering deep cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in the farm bill. The House bill would cut nearly $40 billion in food assistance, causing millions of SNAP households to see their benefits cut or lose benefits entirely – right after all SNAP participants just received a benefit cut in November. Equally baffling, the House proposal would increase participation barriers and time limits for unemployed adults – including families with children – at a time when jobs remain scarce.
In the aftermath of the recession, food banks continue to see elevated client demand, both from families who are hurting but make a little too much in income to qualify for SNAP, as well as families for whom SNAP benefits are inadequate to last them through the month. Increased need resulting from the recession has been coupled with declining food from The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP), a federal commodity program that supplies 20 percent of the food distributed by our food bank.
We all agree that a decent job is the best solution to poverty and hunger, but right jobs remain hard to come by. We need more jobs and job-training opportunities to put struggling families on a path toward self-sufficiency. In the meantime, Congress has an opportunity to address the needs of families challenged to put food on the table and the food banks and pantries that serve them by passing a farm bill that protects SNAP and increases funding for TEFAP.
This holiday, in addition to volunteering and giving donations, there is another important way you can help needy families in our community. Tell our members of Congress to protect hunger-relief programs in the farm bill. Congress is expected to vote on a final farm bill before Christmas. The best gift we could make to needy families this holiday is to make sure food banks and SNAP have the resources alleviate hunger all year long.

The answer appeared to be that our unconscious responses are far quicker than our conscious ones.
But we also respond to events, and here a delay is highly relevant and noticeable.
The really surprising thing, therefore, was the length of the delay which seemed to be involved.
His own theory of consciousness as a kind of field has received somewhat less attention; and the strange brain-cutting experiment he proposed to test it seems likely to remain unperformed for the foreseeable future.
A large number of papers and discussions have been published: in 2004, Libet finally summarised his own account in the book Libet's early research was actually intended to explore what the minimum stimulus giving rise to a conscious sensation might be.


Today Carnage & Tony Junior's highly anticipated collaboration, "Michael Jordan", was released on Steve Aoki's Dim Mak Records. Along side their original effort came this stunning full on trap remix by Ookay, which was released on Ookay's SoundCloud as a free download.
Since I know you've already snagged your copy of the original on Beatport… don't forget to pick up Ookay's cut below. In short, this joint is a quick paced, vocal focused gem. Jam packed with a fair share of hip-hop elements and air-y synth lines for good measure.

Yahoo! Group message archive?
andyrkki replied to andyrkki's topic in General Discussion
I think you misread my post. I wasn't talking about solving levels - there's plenty of info out there for that anyways. I was talking about the history of CCLP2 itself, and how it was made. Not to mention the history of the CC community, which was very different back then... CCLP2 was just an example. Thanks for the link, but I was thinking more of whether a public archive of the messages would be available, whether at bitbusters.club or elsewhere. Some interesting facts: the earliest message was posted on the day the group was founded - February 28, 2000 - by Chuck Sommerville himself. (Would have been pretty cool if it were a day later...) And it seems to predate the newsgroup, as there's another message from Chuck announcing the creation of the newsgroup on March 1st, and suggesting the Yahoo! group be used for posting files and high scores, not discussion. Despite that, the Yahoo! group was used quite heavily for discussion through late 2003 according to the Message History calendar on the main page, which spans the entire period of CCLP2's creation and more considering the first mention of it was Chuck's suggestion to create a community-approved levelset on April 30, 2001, possibly using the group's own polling functionality. Though according to the official voting announcement on August 5, 2001, after a few false starts at the group, it looks like it was actually done on an external site. Posts to the group were all but terminated with Anders Kaseorg's announcement on November 10, 2003 that he was moderating them, and that further discussion belonged at the newsgroup, with the Yahoo! group only to be used for special announcements. Though I guess that eventually didn't apply to announcements of file uploads, as they resumed on a semi-regular basis in 2013 alongside sporadic "official" news, like the announcement of CCLP3 on September 2, 2006. What is presumably the final post ever made to the group was a file upload announcement on November 17, which is very strange because Yahoo! supposedly removed the ability to post new content on October 28. Also, I'm pretty sure this upload was NOT archived at the Bit Busters site because the entire archive is dated October 18/19. OK, I didn't intend for this post to become a semi-comprehensive history of the Yahoo! group, but... there you go CC historians. Enjoy. And after writing all of this, I see that the Bit Busters put up a message archive today. Well, at least the first post wasn't pointless... 😕
andyrkki posted a topic in General Discussion
First off, I'm pretty surprised nobody seems to have mentioned it here yet, even though the Bit Busters Club already grabbed the levelsets from there, but anyways: Yahoo! Groups is basically turning into an e-mail hub as of December 14, and losing everything else. This includes not just the levelsets, but features like the messages posted there going back years. It was a great resource when I wanted to research how CCLP2 came about way back at the turn of the century, for example. So I'm wondering: is anyone archiving these, or anything else from there besides levelsets?

This is incredibly interesting - thank you so much for sharing! It's always so intriguing to read things like this from the early digital era, especially now that physical media is being eclipsed and a lot of the more recent, online-only stuff is therefore being lost over time. (Even if the Wayback Machine saves it, you still have to know it was there in the first place.) Anything else like this out there? (Speaking of which, you also posted that exclusive NES level - how do you even find this stuff!?)
Eighteen years - it's been a good run.

One by one, the old CC community sites have been shutting down. It's understandable, but regrettable. The end of an era, in a sense.
Any ideas for pulling this off?

Other puzzle game recommendations
andyrkki replied to andyrkki's topic in General
I remember that game being mentioned on this CC site, along with Escape: https://web.archive.org/web/20141018142355/http://theodor.lauppert.ws/games/chip.htm But the thing about most of these games (also including MarbleZone, and other games like the suspiciously MSCC-looking LaserTank) is that they are generally static puzzles. CC has plenty of levels that don't require extreme monster dodging, but the ones that do break up the flow of the sokobans and other somewhat generic puzzle levels, no matter how creative they may be individually. It's one of the things that makes the game relatively unique. It's also a big part of why I'm so drawn to Reflexion: it has a very similar static/dynamic ratio, so to speak.
Most of the special mechanisms aren't really that unique, and could be included as tiles in a hypothetical editor. Though there are a few levels with AI! Did either of you try the sequel, by the way? It's even more polished and professional, to the point that it could well be a modern commercial game.
On wiki pages
andyrkki replied to chipster1059's topic in Poll Station
The keys and locks are largely the same, with minor differences that can easily be noted on a single page. Buttons and teleports of different colours are very different tiles. Each should have its own page.
does anyone know if the original chip's challenge for windows hides files on your computer and how to fix canyon.mid?
andyrkki replied to papperboy3498's topic in Level Discussion
It doesn't have to be preinstalled - it simply has to be in C:\WINDOWS, the default directory MSCC looks in for that file. But you can change the location of any sound file the game uses in entpack.ini.
MarbleZone is quite interesting, actually - thanks for the recommendation! But you conveniently left out the part about the demo version not allowing you to play any custom levels, to say nothing of most of the levels included with the game. As far as I'm aware, it is completely impossible to buy it now (even used like CC, since I'm pretty sure it was only ever sold online), so it's basically the ultimate form of abandonware. As such, I'll share this info: if you open up the main executable in a hex editor and change just one byte at a certain offset, the game will let you access all registered features without entering a key. See my signature for details.
Just wondering: anyone here tried out the game I mentioned in the first post? I'd be very curious to hear what experienced CC players think of it in particular, and if it matches my view that it's just about the only puzzle game with fundamentally different gameplay from CC that has anywhere near the potential it did back in the day... or would if it had a level editor, that is. Also, a different version of the game was later released. Gameplay is much worse, but it has great graphics and amazing music: https://web.archive.org/web/20131104115142/apps.yoyogames.com/reflexions/play http://assets.yoyogames.com/apps/reflexions/1.0.1/html5game-1.0.1/mMusic.mp3
Call for CC2LP1 Level Pack Submissions (Submissions Close May 31)
andyrkki replied to quiznos00's topic in Chip's Challenge 2
I see - did you edit the first post here? Otherwise I must have missed that... Regardless, if what @Ihavenoname248 wrote in the other topic about the CC1 boots feature being added late is correct, we really should consider treating these two things the same way: either both CC1 boots and 9x9 viewports are allowed, or neither option is. (By the way, I apologize if I've taken this topic off track - I thought the decisions were final. Please feel free to split and/or merge posts as necessary.)
cc2lp1
Is there a list of CC2 level viewport sizes somewhere? The wiki doesn't seem to have that information. May I ask which ones?
CC2 Community Pack Survey
Just to clarify my view on the set name: remember that CCLP1 was made first and foremost as a replacement set for the freely licensed Tile World. So if the final name does turn out to be CC2LP1 it would seem to permanently close the door to a CCLP1-type set in the future, which may well be needed as the official CC2 levels are no less copyrighted than the CC1 ones were.
@quiznos00 Why are 9x9 viewport levels allowed when there were numerous opinions against it in the feedback topic, and they clearly go against the spirit of a CC2 set? Yet at the same time you did decide to ban CC1 boots rules, which are not much more of a carryover from the original...


Having trees in your compound or even around your building is good for both you and the environment. But there comes a time where it can either be a hindrance to something like building a house or even a road. When you need to remove a tree completely, this includes removing the stump, you need to hire a tree service. It is possible for you to do it by yourself, but if you want it done effectively and safely, you should hire a tree service.
The number of tree service companies in the market is high. With each of them claiming to be the best at what they do, it is quite hard to decide which one to select. To make this easier, there are some factors you should consider. Discussed below are some of these factors.
For starters, consider the experience of the company. As always, it is advisable to go for an experienced company. A company that has been in the business for years hence has encountered different cases and are therefore best suited to offer you their services. You should, therefore, get to know when the company began its operations. Also get to know the kind of projects they have tackled in the past to see if there is anyone that is similar to yours. A company that has handled a similar case to your before and did it successfully should be highly prioritized. L;earn about tree cutting here.

Pontiff Named to Acadmic All-District Team
BATON ROUGE -- LSU junior third baseman Wally Pontiff, who ranks in the top 10 list in several career batting categories, added another honor to his impressive resume on Thursday when he was named to the Verizon District VI Baseball Academic Team.
Pontiff, who carries a 3.25 grade point average as a biological sciences major, is one of two Southeastern Conference players and one of three representatives from Louisiana on the district team, which includes players from Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi and New Mexico.
Pontiff, a native of Metairie, came to LSU after being a four-year starter at Jesuit High School in New Orleans and immediately helped the Tigers win their fifth national championship as a true freshman in 2000. He was the Most Valuable Player of the 2000 SEC tournament and a 2001 first team All-SEC choice after batting .347 in each of his first two seasons with the Tigers.
Pontiff, the Tigers' team captain, currently stands eighth on the LSU careercharts in batting average (.355) and doubles (47), and is 10th in total hits (236). This year, he is batting .365 with five home runs and 34 RBI, and has had hitting streaks of 19 and 12 games during the season.
Pontiff is now eligible for selection to the Verizon Academic All-America team. Two Tigers have earned selection to the first team, Warren Morris in 1995 and Eddy Furniss in 1997. Furniss was also a second team choice in both 1996 and 1998, while Tim Lanier earned third team honors in 1994 and Chris Demouy was a third team pick in 1996.
The remainder of the District VI team is as follows: James Jurries, Tulane; Andrew Wishy, Arkansas; Stephen Herce, Rice; Andrew Hunter Brown, Rice; Stephen Rowe, Texas Tech; Ran Prince, McNeese St.; David Licni, New Mexico St.; Ross Bennett, Baylor; Jeff Cook, Southern Mississippi.
The Tigers (33-16, 14-9 SEC) are back in action Friday at 6:30 p.m. EDT when they take on Florida in the opener of a three-game SEC series in Gainesville, Fla.

The Omni Group has released OmniFocus 3.3, adding a new subscription pricing option.

The subscription covers OmniFocus Pro for the Mac, iOS, and the Web (the last of which is currently in public beta; see "OmniFocus 3: What's New and What's Blue in Task Management," 17 January 2019). The company will soon implement a separate $4.99-per-month subscription for just the Web version of OmniFocus.

Finally, it was time to get the interior fitted in the van. It also needed a fair bit of love on the outside, so we dropped it off and said good-bye for several weeks.
Well, not really… We went to visit almost weekly to see how the work was going.
First the outside got cleaned up, and all dents and scratches removed. Followed by a full body spray. It was like the van was in 'van-spa'. We had decided to keep the original blue colour of the van, as we really like that colour. But we wanted something to make it a little bit more special..
The van had cream surf decals on when we got it, and although we had those taken off for the full body works, we did really like the colour. So we had a paint done to match the cream, and we got bumpers, handles and various bits done in cream.
When we finally saw the van fully painted, we absolutely loved it! Couldn't be more pleased.
Next was the interior. We had finally decided on a unit from Evo Designs. The van is LWB, so we had a little bit of extra space for storage. We got a platform bed from Volkswares, where we could store the iSUPs underneath. We got a ToC swivel base for the double passenger seat, and the garage arranged for our upholstery to be done.
Finally, on the 26th of April 2016, we got the van back. It looked amazing!! We were so pleased. Now the adventures could really start!!
A weekend off vanlife? Nope!
Next story Let's go camping!

— Azazel to a group of nuns
in Lucifer Rising
Azazel was a powerful demon and a Prince of Hell who served Lucifer. Until Sin City, Azazel's name was not revealed and he was referred to by nicknames such as The Demon, The Yellow-Eyed Demon, or Yellow Eyes. Once he killed Mary Winchester, the Winchester men hunted him for nearly two and a half decades and finally killed him in revenge in the second season finale; however, his actions continued to influence events and characters even years after his death. For example, both Sam and Dean have been haunted by visions or hallucinations of him, and his plan to unleash Lucifer and start the Apocalypse still came to pass despite having died years before.
Prior to his death, Azazel was also the tyrannical leader of the demon world.[4][5]
Early life Edit
Nothing is known about Azazel's human life, but he was eventually chosen by Lucifer to become a Prince of Hell alongside Ramiel, Asmodeus and Dagon and was transformed by Lucifer personally and became one of the first four demons created after Lilith. As a Prince of Hell, Azazel was a demonic general and was fanatically loyal to Lucifer to the point that when the other Princes gave up on Lucifer's plan and left for Earth, Azazel stayed to rule Hell and free Lucifer to start the Apocalypse. While the Ruler of Hell, Azazel had a "daughter" known as Meg and a "son" known as Tom. He was close enough to Lucifer to know of the location of Lucifer's Crypts and toured them all with Meg at some point. At some point, Azazel left Hell and went to Earth to search for the entrance to Lucifer's cage.[3][6][7][8]
Revelation from Lucifer Edit
Azazel speaks with Lucifer in 1972.
After years of searching, Azazel finally located the doorway to Lucifer's prison in 1972. The fallen angel tasked him with freeing the demon Lilith from Hell, as she was needed to break the 66 Seals holding Lucifer captive, and also tasks him with finding the strongest "special child".[6] By the following year, he began making demonic pacts with young individuals - specifically young women - in exchange for a wish: that he would be allowed to enter their homes exactly ten years from when they made the bargain. He promised that no harm would come to them as long as they did not interfere with his business.[2]
Preparations for The Devil's release Edit
Azazel makes a deal with Mary.
In 1973, Azazel eventually comes across Mary Campbell, the future mother of Sam and Dean Winchester. After taking possession of her father, Samuel Campbell, he kills her mother and stabs himself to kill his host. Mary's fiancé, John Winchester, is the demon's next victim. However, Azazel makes his usual offer, giving her the chance to resurrect John, she reluctantly agrees.[2]
Azazel in Sam's room.
A decade later, Mary discovers the yellow-eye demon standing over her baby Sam's crib, feeding his blood to the infant. Upon being interrupted, the demon pins her to the ceiling, slashes her stomach and causes her to burst into flames. Mary's death inspires John to dedicate his life to hunting down Azazel, at the same time training Sam and Dean to hunt supernatural creatures. Perhaps because of the enormity of his task (of selecting and grooming potential vessels for Lucifer across the world), Azazel rarely encountered the Winchesters directly; instead, he sent his children to confront them and manipulate Sam in his stead.[9][10]
Azazel in Rose's nursery.
Months later they trace the omens caused by the demon's presence to Salvation, Iowa. Like he has done with Sam and countless others, Azazel plans to visit a six-month old and feed it his blood so the child will later develop demonic abilities. Although Sam interrupts the demon's plans and saves the family, Azazel teleports away to avoid being shot. Meanwhile, the demonic Meg Masters and her "brother" Tom kidnap John, and then set their sights on Sam and Dean.[11]
Azazel taunts Sam.
Shortly after that an angry Azazel, possessing John, chastises them for exorcising Meg and killing Tom, as he deems them his children, and begins to torture the brothers. John temporarily retakes control, giving Sam the opportunity to grab the Colt. Unable to kill his father, Sam shoots John in the leg, allowing John to regain full control and he briefly is able to hold Azazel inside of him and begs Sam to shoot him in the heart and kill them both. Sam hesitates and the demon flees from his host.[12]
Azazel possessing Tessa.
In In My Time of Dying, out of desperation John Winchester summons the Prince of Hell. When he appears, John aims the Colt at him and tells him that he will give him the Colt if he heals Dean. Azazel says that he can't heal Dean but he knows someone that can. He then tells John that there is something else he wants, John's soul, and his death. Later, in exchange for John's life and the Colt, Azazel takes over the reaper Tessa and heals Dean.[13]
Following this, Duane Tanner communicates with Azazel through the goblet of blood, informing him that Sam Winchester is immune to the Croatoan Virus, after causing an outbreak of the Croatoan Virus which was released in Rivergrove, Oregon.[14]
Opening the Gates of Hell Edit
Azazel talks with Sam in a dream.
In an attempt to find the fittest special child, Azazel appears to Sam in a dream. In this twisted dream, the demon informs Sam that he is in a contest against all the other "special children" like him. The demon then notes that Sam is his favorite, so he shows Sam a vision of the night that the demon visited him. It is shown that the demon sort of "baptizes" the special children with his own blood, as sort of a ritual. Azazel also shows that Sam's mother, Mary, recognizes him and was only killed because she was at the "wrong place at the wrong time".[15]
Azazel talks with Jake.
After Sam was killed during Azazel's test, he approaches the winner, Jake Talley, in a dream to tell him what to do now that he is the last survivor. He threatens Jake's family, and the soldier listens. When Jake is asked by the demon to do something for him, Jake is given the Colt and tells him of its importance like the only thing that could kill him. Hearing this, Jake immediately aims it at Azazel but he says Jake would rather have health and wealth than to shoot him. He promises security for his family as well, causing Jake to lower the Colt. Jake agrees to enter the Devil's Trap and use the Colt as a key to open a gate to Hell.[16]
The spirit of John grabs Azazel from behind.
The rush of demons from the gate destroys the Devil's Trap so that Azazel can enter. When the iron lines are broken, he appears behind Dean and is about to be shot with the Colt, but telekinetically grabs it and forcefully throws Dean onto the ground, telling him how thankful he is to Dean that he revived Sam since he liked him better than Jake. He also informs Dean that whatever Dean brought back is probably not "100% pure Sam" and taunts Dean that Sam cold-heartedly shot Jake multiple times, a feat which he could not accomplish before. He then aims the Colt at Dean, preparing to kill him, but John's ghost appears behind and grabs him from behind, pulling him out of his human host.
Azazel is killed with the Colt.
Azazel escapes from John's grasp and returns to his body, but Dean already has the Colt and shoots him in the chest, killing him. Dean then triumphantly stands over the demon's "body", recognizing his and Sam's victory over the thing which has given their family so much death and heartache. However, with the release of hundreds of demons, the Winchester brothers accept the fact that they have more work to do and more demons to hunt down and kill, possibly worse than Azazel.[16]
Some months later Dean finally learns the Yellow Eyed Demon's true name, Azazel, from the demon Casey, who describes him as a tyrant that held all the other demons together. She also tells Dean that in the wake of Azazel's death, the demons who escaped the Devil's Gate are divided over who should lead them. Originally Sam, Azazel's favorite, was supposed to lead them, but hadn't "stepped up to the plate."[3]
The angel Castiel sends Dean back in time to see the circumstances of how Mary Winchester and Azazel met in 1973, and Dean's own actions are what caused his own mother's death by telling Azazel of Sam. When Castiel returns Dean to the present, he states that the angels are aware of what Azazel did to Sam but don't know why and used the event as a means of to get Dean to stop Sam developing his psychic powers any further.[2]
Months later, Azazel appears as one of Dean's hallucinations while he's inflicted with Ghost Sickness. Dean hallucinates that Azazel is possessing Sam. "Azazel" tells Dean that his brother is not possessed, and that this is what Sam is going to become, and there's nothing Dean can do about it. Later when Dean is talking to Sam after being cured, for a slight minute, he sees Sam's eyes glow yellow in a slight hallucination, implying that even though dead, Dean still secretly fears Azazel.[17]
After hunting Bobby and Dean lock Sam inside Bobby's panic room so he can detox from the demon blood, Sam starts to hallucinate. When he sees his younger self, he starts a conversation with him until his younger self's eyes flash into Azazel's eyes.[18]
Whilst trying to track down Lilith, Sam and Ruby learned of Azazel's slaughter of the nuns in 1972 and discovered that the convent is where Lilith was going to break the last seal to free Lucifer. When Sam finally kills Lilith and frees Lucifer, Ruby tells Sam that everything Azazel ever planned was to get him to that point, same with Lilith.[6]
During the final stages of the apocalypse, it is revealed by Brady, an old friend of Sam's in college, that Azazel had a demon posses Brady who introduced Sam to Jess. It is also revealed that it was actually Brady who killed Jess rather than Azazel but on Azazel's instructions. [19]
In Swan Song, when Lucifer finally possesses Sam he waits for the arrival of Michael with a team of demons, but all of whom are people Sam has befriended or been fond of in the past, Lucifer reveals that Azazel had them all possessed even when he was a toddler.
Azazel appears as a hallucination of Dean's.
During Exile on Main Street, lingering fear and hatred of Azazel was revealed to continue to haunt Dean, when Dean was poisoned by a djinn. Dean's hallucination of Azazel claimed that he was resurrected by God like Castiel had. He mocked a shocked Dean about thinking he could leave hunting to live with Lisa and Ben Braeden, then tried to strangle him. This apparition of Azazel dissipated when Sam intervened and administered an antidote to Dean to cure him of the djinn's poison.
Dean was later given a double dose of djinn poison; his hallucination involved Azazel murdering Lisa in the same fashion as his mother and convincing Ben to drink his blood as Ruby did to Sam, with Azazel repeatedly telling Dean that it's all his fault and he can't stop it. This hallucination ended when Dean received more antidote to the djinn poison.
In Goodbye Stranger, it is revealed that Azazel is one of the few demons who were entrusted with the knowledge of the location of Lucifer's Crypts and its contents, due to his high-ranking status and closeness to his father. At an unspecified point, over a hundred years before 2013 he visited them, and took his servant, and demon daughter Meg with him. Meg thus also knew their location, which in 2013 garnered the interest of Crowley, who was looking for them.
In Fan Fiction, Marie's stage play of Supernatural involved a student dressed as Azazel in a full black suit and mask, the only definitive part of him being his yellow eyes. In the play Azazel's imitator reenacts the murder of Mary and poisoning of Sam.
In Keep Calm and Carry On, shortly after her resurrection by the Darkness, Mary Winchester recalls her death at Azazel's hands. Dean later tells her that John died trading himself for Dean to a demon though he doesn't name Azazel when he tells her this.
In Stuck in the Middle (With You), Azazel is revealed to have been a Prince of Hell, the first generation of demons after Lilith, a generation turned by Lucifer himself and trained to be generals of the demon armies. In a flashback to after Lucifer's defeat in 2010, Crowley visits Ramiel, who calls Azazel "a fanatic" and states that the other Princes of Hell had long stopped caring about Lucifer's plan while Azazel never had.
In There's Something About Mary, Lady Toni Bevell reminds Mary of her deal with Azazel and the effect it had on John. Mary is surprised that Toni knows the details of her deal with Azazel.
In Who We Are, while inside Mary's mind, Dean confronts her about her deal with Azazel and all that came from it.
In All Along the Watchtower, the Winchesters and Castiel visit a post-apocalyptic alternate reality where Bobby Singer reveals that an alternate Azazel had killed John but never revived him, resulting in that world. He also killed Mary thirty years later, likely during a hunt.
In Good Intentions, Mary Winchester asks the Apocalypse World Bobby Singer about her counterpart. Bobby reveals that Mary had refused the deal with her Azazel, causing the alternate Mary to live a life of regret. Mary realizes that as a result, Sam and Dean never existed to stop the Apocalypse and reveals to Bobby that in her world, she made the deal with Azazel. Bobby reassures Mary that given the outcome of her refusing it in Apocalypse World, Mary made the right choice.
In Lebanon, after John Winchester is pulled from 2003 by the Baozhu, Sam and Dean tell him about everything that has happened, including the death of Azazel and John's role in it. John is pleased to have gotten his revenge upon Azazel for Mary's murder, stating that getting revenge was what it had all been about for him. John later tells Dean that he had intended for it all to end once he had gotten his revenge and hoped that afterwards, Dean would be able to go and lead a normal life.
After Sam destroys the Baozhu and returns John to 2003, he forgets the future and all that he learned from Sam and Dean about Azazel and his plans, believing it to only be a great dream.
" Azazel... was a fanatic. A true believer in Lucifer's "master plan". "
— Ramiel
in Stuck in the Middle (With You)
Azazel's form taking on a skull's appearance.
Azazel took pleasure in inflicting pain (whether psychological or physical) onto others. Having a sadistic sense of humor, he liked to play with his victims' emotions by convincing them that their worst fears were true before he killed them. His signature method of murder was exceptionally vicious: he telekinetically pinned his victims to the ceiling, slit their stomachs open and burned them alive while ensuring that their husbands witnessed their death. Strangely, unlike many demons, Azazel rarely killed when it was unnecessary, as he does not kill the parents of his special children when they did not interrupt his blood rituals and even states that Mary's death was simply bad luck. However, Azazel had no regard for human life and frequently used murder to motivate the actions of his target as shown where he orders the death of Jessica and ensure Sam witnesses her death simply to get Sam hunting again or by slaughtering a group of nuns in order to contact Lucifer. He considered murdering everyone Sam loved as just "the cost of doing business." He would gloat to his victims, often monologuing about his victory, before killing them. Ironically, this led to his downfall, as it gave Dean enough time to kill him with the last bullet from the Colt.
Azazel was smug and self-assured of his own power. His arrogance compelled him to endanger his own life simply for the sake of making a point. For example, in Devil's Trap he possessed John in order to steal the Colt and kill Dean when he could easily have killed both John and Dean and taken the Colt without trying to trick Dean into giving it to him, but the appeal of further tormenting the Winchesters and asserting his superiority was too strong for him to resist. He showed open amusement at the idea of anyone succeeding at killing him and would taunt the person who threatened to do so. As a major driving force and architect behind Lucifer's complex release from Hell, Azazel was highly manipulative and cunning. He took advantage of any opportunity he could, such as forcing John to sacrifice both the Colt and his own life in exchange for Dean's resurrection, with the hope that John's spirit would possibly break the first of the 66 seals by his time in Hell as a righteous or good man who must spill blood in Hell to avoid torture, the latter which was achieved by Dean. Alastair confirms John was the original target to break the seal, something Azazel likely tried to use to his advantage before John even died.
Azazel often quickly modified his plans to accommodate unforeseen circumstances, such as the death of his favorite special child and survival of another and then again when the reverse unexpectedly occurred. He relished bending others to his will, to the point that he favored Sam out of all the special children because he wanted to corrupt Sam's kind-hearted nature, as well as due to the latter's skills and intelligence making him a capable weapon. Azazel was skilled at manipulation and corruption, successfully convincing Jake, Ava, and Ansem to give in to their powers and kill innocent people to further their goals.
Azazel viewed his fellow demons as his family; he genuinely regarded his followers as his "children" and was enraged when Dean killed one and exorcised another. Most demons feared Azazel and considered him a cruel tyrant, even the Seven Deadly Sins feared him for his capabilities. Azazel was also deeply loyal to his father, Lucifer, whom he continued to believe in and search for even when most demons had given up. He held these "non-believers" in contempt, calling them "dickless heathens." He devoted himself to the task of freeing Lucifer, a mission he eventually died on, but was achieved regardless due to Lilith and Ruby continuing his plan.
Azazel telling Dean that he killed his son Tom, showing sorrow.
Azazel's comments in In The Beginning indicate that he possessed great knowledge of angels as he deduced that only they could send Dean back in time and remarked that Dean must have "friends in high places." Despite his arrogance, Azazel showed caution when dealing with more powerful foes such as angels and was cunning enough to cover his tracks and his ultimate goal from the angel grunts of Heaven, so thoroughly that he had all of Mary Winchester's immediate friends and family killed to ensure his plan's secrecy.
According to his brother Ramiel, Azazel was a fanatic and the only one of the Princes of Hell who ultimately still cared about Lucifer's plans.
Physical Appearance Edit
Azazel was demon, a Prince of Hell, but before both his name and title became known in Hell, he was literally called The Yellow-Eyed Demon (a specific racial description for a General of Hell). It has been shown that its true form, which manifests itself on earth as black smoke, looks like a skull. He usually posses a pale caucasian middle-aged male in a dark trench coat, a tie, and a formal hat.
" Jake: The only thing I'm gonna do is wake up, hunt you down, and kill you myself.
Azazel: You know, others have tried... It's not easy. "
— Jake Talley and Azazel
in All Hell Breaks Loose - Part 2
Azazel was a very high-ranking demon, described by Ruby as one of two beings on the "A-list" of demons (the other being Lilith). Until the twelfth season, he remained the only known demon with yellow eyes. Azazel ranked incredibly high in Hell's hierarchy, being an heir to the throne of Hell, outranked only by Lucifer and Lilith, and led the plan to free Lucifer. The demon Casey described him as a tyrant who held the demons all together, saying, "When you did him in, it all fell apart." He was a considerably powerful demon, one of the most powerful to appear on the show along with Lilith, Cain, Alastair, Crowley and Abaddon who was a Knight of Hell, along with his siblings Ramiel, Dagon, and Asmodeus. Azazel was eventually revealed to be a Prince of Hell, one of the very first demons created and a demonic general making him very powerful indeed.
Demonic Possession - He often possessed humans to manifest, though on one notable occasion he possessed a reaper - a feat that has not since been accomplished (on-screen) by any other being. His hosts tended to be older white males. The only way to confirm his presence within his host was when he turned their eyes a bright, slitted yellow.
Super Strength - He enhanced his host's physical strength to a superhuman level, to an even greater extent than most other demons. He was able to casually snap John's neck and could overpower humans, demons, and even ghosts (although John was able to briefly hold him in place). He was one of the strongest demons to appear in the series.
Advanced Telekinesis - He could move people and objects using only his mind. He was very skilled with this ability, able to use it on multiple targets at once, restraining them so they couldn't even cry out for help, and throwing grown men considerable distances, by flicking his wrist. When killing Mary Winchester, he pinned her to a wall and slid her onto the ceiling then keeping her there even after having left the room. He was one of the strongest telekinetics to appear.
Advanced Biokinesis - He demonstrated the ability to psychically injure humans, even inducing fatal internal bleeding and external damage, with a mere glare. He notably demonstrated this on Mary Winchester by cutting open her stomach without touching her, and later on Dean, crushing his internal organs and causing him to bleed from his chest and mouth, nearly killing him. One of the omens of Azazel's arrival also included mass cattle deaths.
Pyrokinesis - He could generate and manipulate fire. His power over fire was extensive enough that he could render entire buildings ablaze in minutes or even seconds.
Advanced Immunity - As a Prince of Hell, Azazel was possibly immune to most demonic weaknesses, including holy water, salt and holy ground.
Invulnerability - He could not be harmed by conventional weapons or methods, as gun blasts and flames barely affected him. The only gun with the power to kill him is the Colt.
Immortality - Azazel was able to potentially live forever, he was thousands of years old when he died.
Resurrection (by deals) - He was able to resurrect dying or dead humans, though he had to first make a deal with a living human, he explicitly stated that he couldn't resurrect people unless a deal was made, dismissing it as "red tape".
Super Stamina - Azazel did not require food, water, oxygen, or sleep to sustain himself.
Reality Warping (by deals) - He could alter the world around him in the context of a demonic deal. Unlike all other demons, he did not require a soul to power the deals he made. However, he still had to obey the rules of the demonic soul deals. As he said in reference to Sam's resurrection at the end of Season 2, "You see, demons can't resurrect people unless a deal is made. I know, red tape--it'll make you nuts."
Advanced Teleportation - He could travel instantly from one place to another including hell and earth without occupying the space in between, he was quick enough to use this to avoid bullets from the Colt. He was able to move fast enough to kidnap Sam and remove him in seconds.
Dream Walking - He could enter others' dreams, he used this ability to enter the dreams of his Special Children when they were asleep in "All Hell Breaks Loose - Part 1" and "All Hell Breaks Loose - Part 2". He was mentioned as having done so in "Simon Said" and "Hunted".
Weather Manipulation - As great masses of demons can, Azazel's presence alone could cause thunderstorms, massive temperature fluctuations, and sudden gusts of wind.
Healing (by deals) - He restored a comatose, dying Dean to full health in "In My Time of Dying" and repaired John's broken neck in "In The Beginning" though in both cases he had to make a deal to do so.
Electromagnetic Interference - His mere presence caused lights to flicker, electronic devices to go haywire, and clocks to stop. He could also do this at his will.
Memory Manipulation (possibly) - He could erase the memories of people, and did so after resurrecting them. Although there is a possibility that he might used Tessa's power since he possessed her at that time.
Super Senses - Was able to tell Dean wasn't one of his Special Children, simply by smelling his neck.
Flight - When in his disembodied smoke form, Azazel could fly.
Spell-Casting - Azazel was able to perform a ritual, by sacrificing a group of nuns, which allowed Lucifer to speak to him while he was still in the Cage.
Power Granting - By feeding the Special Children his blood when they were infants, he granted them their psychic abilities.
As a Prince of Hell, Azazel possessed very few weaknesses and was immune to the most common methods of defense against demons such as salt lines and holy water.
Harming, Misleading or Trapping Edit
Ghosts - Azazel was pulled from his vessel by John Winchester's ghost and was briefly restrained.
Iron - Azazel was unable to cross a devil's trap made of iron. He needed to send Jake to open the Devil's Gate, claiming he "just can't" go there now.
Salt - He was knocked off his feet when shot with rocksalt.
Killing Edit
The Colt - He was killed by this gun.
Higher Beings - Azazel was subservient to the Archangel Lucifer.
Lance of Michael - As his brother Ramiel died by this weapon, shows that Princes of Hell, and many other beings, can be killed by it.
After Jake Talley opened the Devil's Gate in Wyoming, Azazel appeared in the old cemetery the Devil's Gate was located in, telekinetically flung Dean into a tombstone and pinned Sam to a tree. After taunting Dean about his father's death and Sam's resurrection, Azazel prepared to kill Dean with the Colt. However, the ghost of John Winchester emerged from the Devil's Gate and pulled Azazel from his vessel briefly. After overpowering John, Azazel returned to his vessel only to find that Dean had retrieved the Colt. Dean shot Azazel in the heart with the Colt, killing the Prince of Hell.
To Sam (season 1) - "Well, this is fun. I could've killed you a hundred times today but this... this is worth the wait."
To Dean (season 2) - " Boys shouldn't play with daddy's guns."
To Dean (season 2, last words) - "I couldn't have done it without your pathetic, self-loathing, self-destructive desire to sacrifice yourself for your family!"
To Dean (season 4, through time travel) - " Demon blood is better than Ovaltine, vitamins, minerals - it makes you big and strong! "
To a group of nuns (season 4) - "Our father, who art in 'Heaven', hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come blah blah blah. Lead us not into temptation but deliver us... from evil. Truer words were never spoken, huh sisters? But sometimes it seems as though it's difficult to know the creator. Sometimes I feel, in a very literal sense, that I have been wandering the desert for years, looking for our father. Well not our father... My father. See, he's in jail. Your dad put him there. I almost gave up hope. But, ye of little faith, because I finally found him - or at least, you know, a spot where his cage door opens. It's right here. In a damn convent, for God's sake! Life is funny... Then again, I suppose it makes sense. Folks forget that my daddy is an angel, after all. Or was. I mean, I suppose some dumb bastard stood here, felt a jolt of his holy juice and thought 'I'm gonna build me a nun factory!' You know? It's the right idea. Wrong angel!"
To Lucifer (season 4) - "It is so good to hear your voice, padre. I have been searching for you for so long. You have no idea. The others have lost faith. Dickless heathens! But not me."

In the Bible, Azazel is first mentioned in Leviticus 16:8. God orders Aaron to send to him a goat carrying all of the Israelites' sins.[20]
Azazel is the main antagonist of season 1 and season 2, and is the only Prince of Hell so far to appear in more than one season.
As mentioned in The Essential Supernatural, the yellow-eyed demon is the demon army general. Originally it was his plan to let Lucifer enter Sam's body and serve as a general. However, this could not happen because he was shot two years earlier.
In the Bible, the name 'Azazel' was the name of an evil spirit of the wilderness that was sent a goat laden with the sins of the people on the Day of Atonement (hence the term 'scape-goat').
Azazel and Death are the only known characters Dean has shown fear for.
Azazel has been portrayed by numerous actors, but all have maintained his sadistic sense of humor and Jack Nicholson-like mannerisms. He has received nearly universal praise from fans and critics alike.
In a discarded version of a script, Dean once referred to him as "the Big Bad", which is a popular term to denote the main antagonist in each season of Buffy The Vampire Slayer; Azazel was the main antagonist of the first two seasons of Supernatural.
He was one of the few characters to actually teleport onscreen (when Sam tried to shoot him with the Colt in Salvation), in which he vanished in black smoke in a similar manner to ghosts struck by iron.
Before season 12, he was the only known yellow-eyed demon before the introduction of Ramiel and Dagon. He remains the only one of the Princes referred to as The Yellow-Eyed Demon.
He is currently the only demon shown to be possibly immune to holy water.
He was the first of four main antagonists to be killed by Dean. The second was Dick Roman, the third was Abaddon, and the fourth was Lucifer.
He is the first of four characters to be the main antagonist for two seasons. The second, third and fourth, are Lilith, Crowley and Lucifer respectively.
Azazel is the first demon from real-world lore to appear in the show.
Ironically in American Horror Story, Azazel's actor, Fredric Lehne, played a mental ward guard who was murdered by the Devil.
He is the first supernatural creature to appear in the show.
The only season so far where he hasn't appeared or been mentioned at all is Season 7.
Azazel is the only major demons not to be affected by a devil's trap in some way. Though Azazel was not being able to cross the one surrounding the Devil's Gate until it was broken. All the other major demonic characters on the show have been trapped at least once in a trap including Meg, Crowley, Ruby, Abaddon and Cain.
Azazel's counterpart from the Animated Series claims to have been an angel before becoming a demon.
Both Azazel and his sister Dagon were attacked by the Winchesters with the Colt and avoided getting shot. While Azazel was killed in the second attempt, Dagon dodged two more attempts to kill her with the Colt and ultimately destroyed the legendary gun.
Of the deceased Princes of Hell, only Azazel left remains behind in the form of his deceased vessel. Ramiel exploded into dust and both Dagon and Asmodeus burned to ashes.
Azazel is the only Prince of Hell to appear in more than one season.
Azazel referred to Tom and Meg as his "children", and was visibly sad when he spoke to Dean about Dean's killing of the former and exorcising of the latter. It is never confirmed if these two truly were his children or not. Azazel has not expressed such concern for any other demon besides these two, showing them preference and genuine compassion.[12]
Azazel is the only Prince of Hell whose vessel is not destroyed upon his death.
Azazel is the only Prince of Hell that appears to have no single long-term vessel. While he kept the vessel he took in In My Time of Dying until his death, that was the course of about a year. Ramiel had his vessel for at least seven years, Dagon appeared to have kept hers for a long time and Asmodeus's vessel was used by Asmodeus for so long that it bore the scars Lucifer inflicted upon him for unleashing the Shedim. Before taking the vessel he died in, Azazel took multiple other vessels to complete a task and then appeared to discard them rather than keep them permanently.
Azazel is the only Prince of Hell to have an Apocalypse World counterpart mentioned. His counterpart's fate is unknown, but he is mentioned by Bobby Singer in All Along the Watchtower and Good Intentions.
Azazel is the only Prince of Hell to have their demon smoke form shown rather than just the vessel they use to manifest on Earth.
Azazel is the first known demon of to show his true eye color for most of his screen time, not that of their vessel. The only other known demon who showed their true eye color and not that of the vessel is Samhain.
Funnily, at the end of their screen time, both get a green engraving in their iris.

One of the best books I've read is "Electronics Devices and Circuits" by J. Millman and C. Halkias. It was a book prescribed to us by our college for a course on the same topic. I never really bothered to touch the book till the end of the cours.

It is a compilation of data on Radio Shack's line of prime-quality ARCHER semiconductors/5. Semiconductors are essential in electronics as their properties can be modified and manipulated to provide useful functionality. For example, in a mosfet transistor, a voltage can be applied to the semiconductor material from which it is constructed to control whether the mosfet conducts current or not, providing an electronic, solid state switch.
A semiconductor material has an electrical conductivity value falling between that of a conductor, such as metallic copper, and an insulator, such as resistance falls as its temperature rises; metals are the opposite. Its conducting properties may be altered in useful ways by introducing impurities ("doping") into the crystal two differently-doped regions exist in the.

One way to make a transistor is with a p-type semiconductor sandwiched between two n-type semiconductors. This type of transistor is called an NPN transistor because it has three regions: n-type, p-type, and n-type. The other way to make a transistor is just the opposite, with an n-type semiconductor sandwiched between two p-type semiconductors.
A semiconductor is a material that in some cases will conduct electricity but not in others. Good electrical conductors, like copper or silver, easily allow electricity to flow through them. Materials that block the flow of electricity, like rubber or plastic, are called insulators.
