Small Faces - Lazy Sunday (1968)

Image/photo

Wouldn't it be nice, to get on with me neighbours

But they make it very clear, they've got no room for ravers

They stop me from groovin', they bang on me wall

They're doing me crust in, it's no good at all, ah!

Lazy Sunday afternoon

I've got no mind to worry

Close my eyes and drift away

'Ere we all are, sitting in a rainbow

Gor blimey hello Mrs Jones, how's your Bert's lumbago? (mustn't grumble)

I'll sing you a song with no words and no tune

To sing in your khazi while you suss out the moon, oh yeah!

Lazy Sunday afternoon

I've got no mind to worry

Close my eyes and drift away

Roo dee doo dee doo, roo dee doo dee die day

Roo dee doo dee dum, roo dee doo dee doo dee

There's no one to hear me, there's nothing to say

And no one can stop me, from feeling this way, yeah

Lazy Sunday afternoon

I've got no mind to worry

Close my eyes and drift away

Lazy Sunday afternoon

I've got no mind to worry

Close my eyes and drift a-

Close my mind and drift away

Close my eyes and drift away

Pearson’s #correlation coefficient is the #test that measures the #statistical relationship between two continuous #variables. It is known as the best method of measuring the #association between variables because it is based on the #covariance #method. The PCC gives #information about the #magnitude of the correlation as well as the direction of the #relationship.

If the #coefficient value lies between ±0.50 & ±1, then it is said to be a #strong correlation.

If the #value lies between ±0.30 & ±0.49, then it is said to be a #medium correlation.

If the value #lies below +0.29, then it is said to be a #small correlation.

#AchiChokyi is #Tibetan (ca. 1000s) but she is proficient enough in #Sanskrit to respond to the name #Dharma #Tara.

She is powerful enough that she composed herself into #sadhanas. And these were so powerful that this was the experience of H. H. First Karmapa (called Druptop here):

...the sound of a #damaru [resounded] from the sky and the melodious voice of a ḍākinī arose. Druptop asked the Lord of the Dharma (Chos rje) how this could be, [and] he replied, “The voice which arises is a Wisdom ḍākinī, my Grandmother.”

Druptop insisted, “What is her sadhana like? How is [her] practice done?” ] Because of that [Jigten Sumgon] bestowed many extensive sadhana and the fifteen chapters [of] the Precious Diadem in the Sadhana Cycle (Sgrub skor rin chen cod pan le’u). Druptop said, “Having reviewed the oral transmission with earnest, the essence [of the] goddess (hri ma) rose up from the sphere of reality, [and I] perceived [her] with divine sight from the sphere of wisdom.

Departing from the behavior of many of #Tibet’s mundane, oath-bound protectors, however, Achi takes multiple roles, making her an interesting point of departure in this category. According to at least one sadhana, besides being taken as one’s dharma protector, she can be taken as one’s inner-most secret lama (gsang bla ma), one’s inner yidam (nang ltar yi dam), or one’s secret ḍākinī consort.

She did not perish in a usual way:

...she flew into the air on the back of a #blue #horse, accompanied by a #small #dog, and departed for the #Pure Lands.

Duke Energy Could Power Purdue with Nuclear Project


Small modular reactors (SMRs) are widely considered the best technology to increase the use of nuclear power worldwide, with advocates touting their zero-emission production of electricity, smaller land footprint, and scalability. SMRs also offer a cost savings over construction of new utility-scale nuclear reactors.
