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.

A quotation by Tolkien, J.R.R.

The road must be trod, but it will be very hard. And neither strength nor wisdom will carry us far upon it. This quest may be attempted by the weak with as much hope as the strong. Yet such is oft the course of deeds that move the wheels of the world: small hands do them because they must, while the eyes of the great are elsewhere.

J.R.R. Tolkien (1892-1973) English writer, fabulist, philologist, academic [John Ronald Reuel Tolkien]

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, Book 2, ch. 2 “The Council of Elrond” [Elrond] (1954)
