As I've been reading about the late eating times in Spain, I'm starting to get a little bit worried.
Personally, I'm totally okay with eating a light breakfast, giant lunch, small afternoon snack, and eating dinner late as Spaniards do. In fact, where I grew up in Louisiana, we had "dinner" at lunch and "supper" at dinnertime, where supper was usually just a sandwich or leftovers, and dinner (lunch) was a big feast followed by a nap. So I personally would have no qualms "fitting in" with Spain's customs.
However, I am worried about my toddler. First of all, he's in bed by 8:30 PM or 9:00 PM (at the latest), so there's no way we can wait until that late to give him dinner. He typically eats dinner at 5 or 6 PM, so by 8 PM he would be *very* whiny if he hadn't had dinner by then.
He typically eats lunch at around 12 noon to 1 PM, but he possibly could wait until 1:30 PM. Still, I heard Spaniards eat lunch at around 2-4 PM.
So, I'm thinking that we'll probably be going to dinner at tapas bars every day, since they may be the only thing open. Are there any other options? We don't like fast food restaurants and don't really want to eat in the hotel restaurant everyday.
As far as other customs in Spain, at least he'll be okay with Siesta time, as he takes a nap from 2 - 4 PM (LOL).
Feed your child at his/her normal time and give them some sugar so they stay up a little later then usual. They can snack as your eating your incredible meal and everyone is happy. You taking your child to europe you can't expect to keep your normal schedule. Granted try to keeep as close as possible, but, the flight alone is going to wreck them. Right!!
There's no reason you can't eat your big/main meal at the 1:00-2:00 range and the either do tapas or a snack around 6-7 or whenever you toddler wants to eat. This is what I do when I travel alone, since I'm an early riser who doesn't want to sleep on a full stomach and also would rather not wait for a table at a restaurant at night. There wasn't a restaurant I wanted to try that didn't open midday, so I think you'll be all set.
Where do you live normally? Is Spain your only destination? This may seem a little weird. But 10:00 PM in Spain is 5 PM in the eastern US. What about keeping more to your home time (or split the difference? Certainly it will be easier for the toddler to adjust to that than changing his normal 5 PM dinner time at home to eating at 5 PM in Spain if it is actually noon at home. Why not sleep much later in the morning? Have breakfast at 11, lunch at 2:30 or 3, take his nap from 5 to 7, and then dinner at 9.
Who cares what time it is in Spain -- actually their later eating times mean they are closer to your "real times". So that could mean less adjusting than following your US times in Spain. And less adjustment back again when you come home.
plenty of places to eat all day long in spain. you wouldn´t be taking your toddler to most table-clothed "restaurants" anyway.. so don´t fret.
if you are in big towns, there are even cafés in the large department store corte inglés with children´s menus, serving all day long, so you will be fine.
That won't work for us as we'll be spending time before and after the Spain portion of our trip in Switzerland. My in-laws live in Switzerland so we will be eating at whatever time they eat.
By the way, we're on Central time, not Eastern, and we're definitely not sleeping in until noon (6 hours difference from CST/CDT) everyday just to keep our biological clocks.
You mention that it's not common to have a toddler in a restaurant that late. Will we be totally out of place or will they just say "those silly American tourists"?
I'm also concerned that our toddler may get bored during the long meal if he's already eaten. He'll probably lap up the desert in no time and soon after he may get bored.
Fair enough with the Switzerland point, fkluvsNola, but you kind of missed my point. You do realize, I trust, that your toddler is going to be 6 hours off schedule when you first get there if you try to go my local times as your schedule as if they were your home times. And when you come home, he's off by 6 hours again.
And maybe you missed the point about "split the difference" which in your case would mean do things 3 hours (by the hour) later than what you'd do at home, which in fact is still 3 hours earlier in actuality that at home, rather than do everything 6 hours earlier than at home, which is your plan.
I didn't miss your point. If we weren't going to Switzerland (with the required time changes there due to in-laws) then maybe that (splitting the time difference) would be an option. But even splitting the hours (3 hours), that would mean breakfast at 10 or 11 AM, and honestly, I'd rather be out and about at that time. It will be in the summer, so the heat will be less in the morning and I'd rather be touring than sleeping in the morning or having a late breakfast.
I think you need to accept that traveling with a toddler is going to be very different than before! You may want to have an apartment so that you can eat some meals in. I think it will be very challenging to have long, late dinners at a restaurant unless your child is VERY tolerant! If it were me, I'd go out for lunch at casual spots where kids are welcome and then either pick up takeaway for dinner or eat in most of the time. Your idea for tapas bars might also work out well.
I've also found that some kids take a long time to adjust to the time change and can be up at all hours.
I have a similar problem coming up - but it's my 76 year old mother! She and my sister are coming from Boston to visit my husband and me in first Paris and then here in Switzerland for the first time. My mother has always gotten up between 5:30 and 6 (fortunately I am an early riser like her so can keep her company for breakfast) and she normally goes to bed between 8:00 and 9:00 and has already told me that she has no intentions of going out to dinner at 8:00!
So we are just going to have our big meal of the day at lunch and then make something light for dinner. She can go to bed and the rest of us can stay up and chat....while sampling local wines.
I'm interested in some takeaway from the Cortes Ingles too.
Would be great if they had stuff like Marks and Spencer in London.
Anyways, I hear that Cortes tries to charge credit card purchases by Americans in dollars using a much higher exchange rate than the credit card companies would charge if they charged in Euros?
You do not need to accept any charges in Dollars on your credit card.
Simply tell the clerk that you want the charges put through in the local currency (Euro). And don't let them tell you they don't know how to do this.
If they insist, write on the charge slip "local currency not offered" and tell them you plan to dispute the charge with your CC issuer once you return home.
We spent two weeks in Seville at Xmas and never ate especially late. This was absolutely no problem although occasionally we were only with other tourists. From observation during that short time I think it is a bit of a myth that all Spanish people eat very late - maybe they do in summer. We have just moved to Spain so expect we will find out!
We once travelled with friends with a toddler - she ate at her normal time & then slept in her pushchair beside us while we had dinner. Would that work for you ?
I live in Spain we moved here when kids were 2 & 5. Eating in tourist Towns on the coast is no problem fast food open all day and we chose chinese often, they open earlier 6 - 7 pm and v cheap. In small inland villages it is more difficult(carry snacks and box drinks) find a place with room for toddler to runabout ie near beach or on pedestian street.then have stroller ready for sleeping in. get a good folding one with a reclining back and you can relax over the vino and coffee! Where are you going?
I understand your post very well as I have a toddler who has gone to bed at 6:30 - 7:30 PM since he was about 8 months old, so I always plan for meal times (when travelling in the Americas) ahead of time. I also would try to keep your child's schedule as much as possible. Some kids are more easygoing than others, but we found our child was NOT happy when things did not occur when he had come to expect them. We never adjusted nap times, meal times and bedtimes by more than 1 hour.
When we were last in Spain, if we had had a big lunch, we would "graze" all evening long, starting fairly early (7 PM). In the main towns (Madrid, Sevilla come immediately to mind), cafes that serve tapas were open continuously or opened early for after work drinks (which were accompanied by tapas). You can easily put a great meal together with some ham, cheese, croquettes, tortilla, shrimp, chorizo, etc. And when I've visited in late March/April you can sit outside because it's fairly warm and people watch over your tapas and wine. Note that no Spaniard would consider what I mentioned to be "dinner," but you'll be able to eat and you'll do so at a time that is convenient for you. Good luck and post when you return!
Thanks everyone for the information. I feel a little more relaxed now.
We will be staying in Barcelona for a few days and then Salou on the coast. We plan to go to Montserrat the first day and then hit all the kid friendly attractions in Barcelona the next few days, and well as Port Aventura in Salou. Then spend the rest of the time on the beach.

Palabras clave: Quercus candicans, duramen, extraíbles, polisacáridos, lignina, elementos inorgánicos, química de la madera.
Sieved heartwood meal of Quercus candicans was extracted with petroleum ether, acetone and methanol, then with cold water and, finally, with hot water. The carbohydrates content was determined in extracted woodmeal, as well as in methanolic and aqueous extracts. The content of Runkel lignin was determined. The content of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and ashes was also determined for non-extracted wood. The ashes were analyzed by means of dispersive X Ray energy. The pH value was determined. The heartwood of Q. candicans contains 10.2 % extractives, 66.9 % polysaccharides, 21.4 % Runkel lignin, 47.2 % carbon, 6.2 % hydrogen, 45.7 % oxygen and 0.9 % ashes. The ashes contain the following inorganic elements: K, Mg, Ca, P and S. The pH value is 5.6.


Statement: Should new universities be established in India?
1. No. We have still not achieved the target for literacy.
2. No. We will have to face the problem of unemployed but highly qualified people.
Explanation: Clearly, instead of improving upon higher education, increasing the literacy rate should be heeded first. So, argument I holds. Also, more number of universities will produce more degree holders with the number of jobs remaining the same, thus increasing unemployment. So, argument II also holds strong.
1. Yes. It is expensive and therefore it is beyond the means of most people in our country.
2. No. Nothing should be banned in a democratic country like ours.
Explanation: Clearly, restriction on the diet of people will be denying them their basic human right. So, only argument II holds.
Statement: Should a total ban be put on trapping wild animals?
2. No. Bans on hunting and trapping are not effective.
Explanation: Clearly, ban is necessary to protect our natural environment. So, none of the arguments is strong enough.
Statement: Should Government close down loss-making public sector enterprises?
2. Yes. In a competitive world the rule is 'survival of the fittest'.
Explanation: Closing down public-sector enterprises will definitely throw the engaged persons out of employment. So, argument I holds. Also, closing down is no solution for a loss-making enterprise. Rather, its causes of failure should be studied, analyzed and the essential reforms implemented. Even if this does not work out, the enterprise may be privatized. So, argument II is vague.
Statement: Should government jobs in rural areas have more incentives?
1. Yes. Incentives are essential for attracting government servants there.
Explanation: Clearly, government jobs in rural areas are underlined with several difficulties. In lieu of these, extra incentives are needed. So, only argument I holds strong.


There are two kinds of loops in Python. In this guide we'll cover both the "for" loop and the "while" loop. We'll also cover how to control these loops by continuing and breaking out.
The for loop in Python is used to iterate through sequence data types. Some example of sequence data types in Python are string, list, tuple, xrange, etc. Supposing you have a list: my_list = [2, 3, 5, 7, 11] To iterate through this list using a for loop you can do the following: for item in my_list: print item The for loop always looks like this. item is a variable name that we choose. As we iterate through the list each element will be assigned to the item variable within the block of code. For loops are used when we want to look at each element in some sequence. So the block of code inside the for loop is the code that will be executed once for each element in the sequence.
A while loop is used to repeatedly execute a statement as long as the condition is true. Unlike for loops, while is not connected with any sequence. For loops iterate for as many elements as are in the sequence, but while loops iterate as long as the condition is True. Here is a simple example to print all even numbers less than 100. i = 0 while i < 100: if i % 2 == 0: print i i = i + 1 In this example, we are setting a counter i. Then we set up a while loop to execute the following statement as long as the condition i <= 100 is True. The statement simply tests to see if the number we are testing is even by using the modulo operator. In this case, we need to manually increment to counter which is why we finish with i = i + 1. So each time we loop through, the value of i will be increased by 1.
Sometimes you'll want to continue to the next iteration without executing the following code. Continue can be used the same way in both for loops and while loops. We could rewrite the previous example using continue. for item in xrange(100): if not item % 2 == 0: continue print item This does the same thing except we are using a for loop and xrange. Xrange gives us a range of numbers between 0 and 100. And instead of only printing item if it is even, we continue to the next iteration if it is not even. The continue statement means we won't execute the code following it, and instead move on to the next iteration through the loop.
In some cases, we will want to stop executing code altogether if a condition is met within a loop. For example, if we want to test a list to see if it contains any odd numbers we can do this: test_list = [2, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10] contains_odd = False for item in test_list: if not item % 2 == 0: contains_odd = True break In this case, we are setting up a test list called test_list. This contains some arbitrary values. Then we are setting a flag contains_odd. We will start by assuming that the list contains no odd numbers, then iterate through the list and test for odds. If we find an odd number we set contains_odd to True and completely break out of the code. Due to the nature of our problem, if we find an odd value in the list there is no reason to keep testing.


What is Casino and Online Casino?
Casino originally, a public hall for music and dancing; by the second half of the 19th century, the term meant essentially a collection of gaming or gambling rooms.
The classic example of a casino, and for long the world's best-known one, which was opened in 1861. The casino has long been a major source of income for the principality of Monaco.
The 20th-century casino, which may also be called a gambling, or gaming, house or club, is a place where gamblers can risk their money against a common gambler, called the banker, or the house. Casinos have almost a uniform character throughout the world. In Europe and South America, they are permitted at many or most holiday resorts and not elsewhere.
In the United Kingdom, licensed and supervised gambling clubs, mainly in London, have operated since 1960. Club membership is required and easily obtainable. The government in France, which boasts the majority of European casinos, also regulates casinos.
In the United States, legal casinos were long operated only in Las Vegas and other locations in Nevada, where various forms of commercialized gambling were permitted. The economy of Las Vegas is almost entirely dependent on the large, luxurious casinos that have operated there since the late 1940s. Casino gambling was introduced in Atlantic City, N.J., in 1978, and from the 1980s casinos also began appearing on various American Indian reservations, which are not subject to state antigambling statutes.
Other legal casinos are located on riverboats; in Deadwood, S.D.; and by special license in Puerto Rico. A general expansion of casino gambling was underway in the United States by the last decade of the 20th century. In South America, there are casinos in Argentina, Colombia, and Ecuador. The casino at Havana, Cuba, was closed after the revolution in 1959.
The casino typically accepts all bets made by its patrons within a limit established so that a patron cannot win more than the casino can afford to pay. Every game offered gives the casino a mathematical expectancy of winning, and it is unlikely that a casino might lose money on its games, even for one day. Because of this virtual assurance of gross profit, casinos regularly offer big bettors extravagant inducements in the form of free spectacular entertainment, transportation, and elegant living quarters. Even lesser bettors are offered reduced-fare transportation, hotel rooms, free drinks and cigarettes while gambling, and other inducements. Such promotional expenses may exceed profits and cause a net loss over the year.
Of the games played regularly at casinos, roulette is found throughout the world, being a principal gambling game in France, where the casinos reduce their advantage to less than 1 percent to entice big bettors. In the Americas, roulette appeals more to small bettors, and the casinos take a larger percentage. Crap shooting attracts the big bettors in American casinos, most of which demand an advantage no greater than 1.4 percent, some only 1 percent or less. Slot machines and (from the 1980s) video poker machines are the economic mainstay of American casinos, the income resulting from high volume, rapid play at sums ranging from five cents to one dollar, and the ability to adjust machines for any desired profit.
Gambling is common term for various games. Different forms of gambling have their own very distinct history but eventually find their way into each other. Gambling always was and will be an important part of history and prevailing form of entertainment for rich and poor all alike.
Sometimes gambling played a major role in history. For instance, in 1020 A.D. King Olaf of Norway and King Olaf of Sweden met to decide on the ownership of an isolated district of Hising. As they could not resolve the dispute by other means they have chosen to roll two dice. At first rolls both Kings rolled double six, at the second roll however the Swedish king rolled two dice of six and the Norway king rolled six on one die while another one cracked and showed seven!
In 1700s lotteries were established to bail out newly established British colonies. Later on, Americans used state-wide lotteries to sponsor the founding of national educational infrastructure.


Would commuting cost me less as a limited company?
Contractors' Questions: Would commuting cost me less as a 'Ltd' company?
Contractor’s Question: If I set up as a limited company contractor, would the costs I incur from commuting every day by road or rail to the contracted workplace be fully or partially reimbursable, or just tax deductible?
I’m unclear what ‘tax deductible’ means precisely, or how it would benefit me in practice, but surely being a limited company would make potentially high travel costs to a workplace more affordable than if I was an employee of that workplace?
I ask because the workplace has expressed an interest in taking me on, as an employee or maybe as a 'Ltd' instead.
Expert’s Answer: We’re now seeing this kind of scenario cropping up all the time in the UK, as people are generally more aware that there is more than one way to work. And quite often, the benefits of acting as a limited company outweigh those of being a fully-fledged employee of a firm.
As a limited company contractor, the cost of travelling to and from your working site is 100% tax deductible. This is not possible for a full-time employee who is commuting to work every day.
However, there are restrictions that contractors acting as a limited company need to be aware of. Their ability to claim expenses against travel into work is very much dependent on the length of time that the contract is due to last. In 1998, the tax authority introduced the ’24 month rule,’ which essentially prohibits claiming main-site subsistence and travel expenses once the contractor has been at a working site, or had the intention to work at the site, for 24 months or more.
Assuming that the 24-month rule is not applicable in this case, the cost of the travel is 100% tax deductible regardless of the means of travel used. For example; train and bus tickets could either be paid directly from the business or paid initially by you, the contractor, and then reimbursed by the limited company. If you, the contractor, would use your own vehicle, then the cost of mileage would be claimable (0.45p for the first 10,000 miles and then 0.25p thereafter). This would be reimbursed to you as an expense through your limited company.
It’s also worth explaining at this juncture what the term ‘tax deductible’ actually implies, as this is something you say that you're unsure about. In a nutshell, these costs reduce the operating profits of your business, and this means that expenses can be offset against the company’s corporation tax, thus reducing its liability.
HM Revenue & Customs likes to keep limited company contractors on their toes, and the tax department is constantly updating the rules as to what people can and cannot claim expenses against. For somebody like you who sounds new to both contracting and contractor expenses, staying on top of HMRC’s updates can be a thankless task, so you should strongly consider instructing a professional accountant to do this for you on an ongoing basis.
The expert was Michael Hough, director at Quantic UK, a specialist in freelancer and contractor accounting.

Teresa Giudice on Jacqueline Laurita: "She Looks Like a Stranger to Me"
Can #RHONJ's former friends mend their fractured relationship?
There's no doubt that tensions were running high when the ladies gathered for dinner in Vermont during Sunday's episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey. And Jacqueline Laurita, Teresa Giudice, and Melissa Gorga were smack-dab in the middle of all the drama. The heated argument between the longtime friends brought up past controversies (including accusations that Melissa was once a stripper) and escalated to the point where Jacqueline called Teresa a "criminal."
On Sunday night, The Daily Dish spoke to Teresa, who shared her side of the dinner party kerfuffle.
"She's just not the Jacqueline that I know. The Jacqueline I know didn't act that way," Teresa said. "I heard of her acting that way, I've never seen that side of her. And now I did and she looks like a stranger to me. It's not somebody that I want to be around. I really don't. I have a lot going on and I want to stay away from negative people that don't want good for me. Why would I want to be around someone like that?"
In interview during Sunday's episode, Melissa explained that she felt Jacqueline was jealous of how close she's gotten with Teresa since she came home from prison last December. "Yeah, sort of, yes. I mean, I can get more into it, but yes [I agree]," Teresa said on Watch What Happens Live about that point from her sister-in-law. "Jacqueline wanted Melissa to take her side and when she didn't, that's when it all backfired. Like, before I came home."
As for whether Teresa thinks she can ever mend her fractured relationship with her former pal, well, she told The Daily Dish, "I guess time will tell. Right now she's not someone I want to be around. You don't treat people that way you really don't." She added that she's also waiting to see how becoming a grandma might change Jacqueline. "I guess time will tell."
Teresa noted that Jacqueline will definitely have the most explaining to do when the ladies sit down to hash out Season 7 at the reunion. "Hello? Did you watch tonight's episode? The grandma!" she said. "Watch the reunion and then you'll see [what I have to say]."

Teresa Giudice Defends Calling Prison "Camp"


The task of the TV Receiver Synchronizing Circuits is to process received information, in such a way as to ensure that the vertical and horizontal oscillators in the receiver work at the correct frequencies.
The “clipper” portion of the circuit in Figure 17-13a shows the normal method, of removing the sync information from the composite waveform received. The clipper uses leak-type bias and a low drain supply voltage to perform a function that is rather similar to amplitude limiting. It is seen from the waveforms of Figure 17-13b that video voltage has been applied to an amplifier biased beyond cutoff, so that only the tips of the sync pulses cause output current to flow. It would not be practicable to use fixed bias for the sync clipper, because of possible signal voltage variation at the clipper input. If this happened, the fixed bias could alternate between being too high to pass any sync, or so low that blanking and even video voltages would be present in the output for strong signals: A combination of fixed and leak-type bias is sometimes used.
The output of the sync clipper is split, as shown in Figure 17-13a, a portion of it going to the combination of C3 and R2. This is a differentiating circuit, whose input and output waveforms are indicated in Figure 17-14. A positive pulse is obtained for each sync pulse leading edge, and a negative pulse for each trailing edge. When the input sync waveform has constant amplitude, no output results from the differentiating circuit. The time constant of the differentiating circuit is chosen to ensure that, by the time a trailing edge arrives, the pulse due to the leading edge has just about decayed. The output does not consist of pulses that are quite as sharp as the simplified ones shown.
The output of the differentiator, at the junction of C3 and R2 in Figure 17-14, is seen to contain negative pulses as well as the wanted positive ones. These negative-going triggers may be removed with a diode such as the one shown. In practice, the problem is taken care of by the diodes in the horizontal AFC TV Receiver Synchronizing Circuits. Note that not all the positive triggers at the end of a vertical field are actually needed each time. If Figure 17-14 is redrawn to show the situation at the end of an odd field, it will be seen that the pulses not used at the end of the even field will be needed then.
The coupling capacitor Cc in Figure 17-13a is taken to a circuit consisting of C1,R1 and C2, which should be recognised as a standard integrating circuit. Its time constant is made such as to yield the waveforms of Figure 17-15. That is, its time constant is made long compared with the duration of horizontal pulses bin not with respect to the width of the vertical sync pulse. When one considers that the former have widths of about 8 μs, and the width of the latter is just over 190 μs, the task is not seen as a very difficult one. This situation just goes to show how much thought went into the design of the standards themselves. The integrating circuit may be looked upon as a low-pass filter, with a cutoff frequency such that the horizontal sync pulses produce very little output, and the vertical pulses have a frequency that falls into the bandpass of the filter.
The waveforms of Figure 17-15 explain the operation of the vertical integrator, but they do not represent a real-life situation. They have purposely been drawn to show what would happen if there were no equalizing pulses. As shown by means of the dotted line in Figure 17-15c, without pre-equalizing pulses the charge remaining in the integrating circuit would be greater at the end of the odd field, because the preceding horizontal pulse would have been significantly closer than at the end of an even field.
An oscillator is triggered not because an infinitely thin sync pulse arrives, but when a sync pulse of sufficient width reaches a particular amplitude. This is shown in Figure 17-15c. It is also seen that the integrated pulse at the end of an odd field would reach this level sooner than the pulse produced at the end of an even field. If this were allowed, the odd field would become somewhat shorter (the even field somewhat longer) than the required 262 1/2 lines. A glance at Figure 17-5 reveals that this would have a harmful effect on the interlace mechanism. The lines of one field would no longer be midway between the lines of the other field. The problem could possibly be solved by using an integrating circuit with a much longer time constant, to ensure that it was virtually uncharged by the horizontal pulses. This would have the effect of significantly reducing the integrator output for vertical pulses, so that a vertical sync amplifier would have to be used.
In a broadcasting situation, there are always thousands of receivers for every transmitter. It is much more efficient to cure a potential problem in one transmitter than in thousands of receivers. This is achieved here by transmitting pre-equalizing pulses. Because they are transmitted, the appearance of the pulse train immediately preceding the vertical pulse is now the same at the end of either field, and the resulting output is the same in both cases. Prior to the pre-equalizing pulses there is still an imbalance at the end of the two fields. This is so far upstream that any charge due to this imbalance is dissipated by the time the vertical sync pulse arrives.
The function of the pre-equalizing pulses is seen as the equalisation of charge on the integrating circuit capacitors just before the arrival of the vertical sync pulse. The function of the postequalizing pulses is somewhat less clear. Figure 17-14 shows that the first postequalizing pulse is needed for horizontal synchronisation at the end of an even field, and one supposes that the remaining ones are inserted for symmetry.


The driving force behind High School Confidential! is the great Albert Zugsmith, who not only produced The Incredible Shrinking Man and several other "B" movie classics, but also produced masterpieces like Orson Welles' Touch of Evil and Douglas Sirk's Written on the Wind and The Tarnished Angels. Additionally, he was a director and made movies like Confessions of an Opium Eater. This movie, one of his great achievements, is perhaps better seen than described. You won't quite believe it. It's genre exploitation at its finest.
High School Confidential! -- note the exclamation point -- is a juvenile delinquent movie, but with a twist. Normally, these movies involve teenage kids (played by actors in their twenties) racing cars, going out with girls, sometimes doing drugs and generally getting into trouble. Russ Tamblyn plays the new kid in school, a cocky, care-free devil who either offends or charms everyone around him; either way, it's no skin off his nose. He proceeds to win the popular girl, Joan (Diane Jergens), away from the leader of the "Wheelers and Dealers" club (John Drew Barrymore), and gets under the skin of a young teacher (Jan Sterling). At home, his voluptuous aunt (Mamie Van Doren) -- presumably an aunt by marriage -- tries to seduce him. But, nothing is as it seems.
The movie is absolutely lunatic. It has an anti-drug message wherein a girl becomes addicted to marijuana, and trembles with withdrawal when she can't get another puff. (It's the old Reefer Madness effect, wherein people who actually know will laugh hysterically.) Moreover, anyone in this movie who uses marijuana is doomed to jump straight to heroin, wherein they will truly suffer the tortures of the damned.
The movie's cast is to die for. We have both William Wellman Jr. and Charlie Chaplin Jr. as well as Charlie Chaplin Sr.'s once-famous co-star, Jackie Coogan of The Kid. We have John Drew Barrymore, the less famous son of John Barrymore and father of Drew Barrymore. We have young Michael Landon, fresh from I Was a Teenage Werewolf, but yet to become a huge TV star. We have Lyle Talbot, of Plan 9 from Outer Space. Finally, we have two second-level 1950s icons, blonde bombshell Mamie Van Doren, and Jerry Lee Lewis, who famously and incredibly opens the movie singing the title song from the back of a moving flatbed truck.
They are given incredible dialogue, punctuated with all kinds of deliciously dated slang. One scene in a club includes a semi-famous poem read by Phillipa Fallon ("Tomorrow is a drag, man, tomorrow is a king-sized bust.") Another scene has Barrymore telling the story of Christopher Columbus in "Beat" language ("One swingin' day when Chris was sittin' at the beach, goofin', he dug that the world was round.").
Director Jack Arnold (Creature from the Black Lagoon, The Incredible Shrinking Man) holds all this and the kitchen sink together and moves it at a proper "B" movie pace, never letting things get stale or drag on too long. In the end, the patchwork masterpiece that emerged may have been a movie of its moment, but it's also an incredible time capsule of hilarious strangeness that's worth preserving and revisiting.
I originally saw this ages ago on a widescreen laserdisc, but Olive Films has now given it a great Blu-ray release, with Jerry Lee Lewis's music exploding from the screen.


Affirmative action is one of the more recent and popular civil rights policies that affect today's society. Affirmative action can be described as nothing more than a lower educational standard for minorities. It has become quite clear that affirmative action is unfair and unjust. However, in order to blend race, culture, and genders to create a stable and diverse society, someone has to give. How can this be justified?
Is there a firm right or wrong to affirmative action? Is this policy simply taking something from one person and giving it to someone else, or is there more to this policy, such as affirmative action being a reward for years of oppression against those whom it affects? There have been many affirmative action plans and experiments attempted over the years; however most have been largely unsuccessful. These plans range from Title VII of the Civil Rights Act to the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. In 1986 the Department of Labor published an experiment entitled workforce 2000, which investigated the number of the most recent entrants into the working class from the years nineteen eighty-five to two thousand (Hyde 1). "The analysis showed that of those who would be newly entering the workforce, only fifteen percent would be white males" (Hyde 1). This course approaching prevalent accomplishment of affirmative action is the end outcome of an operation that began in eighteen sixty-four with the passage of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. (Hyde 1) This act forbids discrimination on the grounds of race, color, religion, and national origin.
Title VII was meant to serve as a vehicle for affirmative action; however, in order to address the inequities of the nations employment system, another method was needed. About one year after Title VII went into effect, President Johnson required government contractors to take affirmative action in the employment of minorities. With this idea, he introduced executive order 11246 on September twenty-fourth of nineteen sixty-five and order 113755 for women shortly after. (Hyde 2) In nineteen seventy-three the Rehabilitation Act was introduced. This act enjoined federal contractors that have a contract existing over two thousand five hundred employees to take affirmative action in the employment of people with handicaps. (Hyde 3) There is no doubt that there will always be controversy with affirmative action until an effective policy is put forth.
Many citizens, organizations, and businesses seem to be slow to realize that government mandated race and sexually based preferences can only be used under extraordinary circumstances. There are many equal opportunity programs, such as the NAACP, that are designed to protect minority's rights and privileges. Therefore, there is no need for affirmative action to be used to its fullest extent in the world today. This policy is wrong because it involves reverse discrimination, promotes the hiring of less qualified workers, and basically does more wrong than right. A person should be hired for a job position because this person is the most qualified, not because this person is a minority or a female. Suppose an employer hires a person because he or she is a minority; if another applicant is more qualified for the job, then the employer is the person being negatively affected.
If it is a prejudice act for people to discriminate against minorities, then what makes it right for people to discriminate against the majority? Either way, someone is being discriminated against and affirmative action only legitimizes and legalizes it. In my personal opinion, affirmative action is a plan that can only enhance racial issues. For instance, what if someone loses out on the job position he or she deserved because this person is a part of the majority? Would race, gender, or a handicap not have anything to do with this injustice?
Affirmative action has proven to be an injustice to the majority of society. Over the years there have been numerous cases in which this policy has harmed a great deal of people in order to establish so-called justice for an elite few. Pasour explains one of the thousands of injustices that affirmative action has provided: Affirmative action promotes the hiring of less skilled workers. It sometimes forces employers to choose the best of the minority workers they can find, regardless of whether they have the required job skills. For example, Duke University recently adopted a resolution requiring each department to hire at least one new black for a faculty position by 1993. However, only six blacks received PH.
D's in mathematics in 1987 in all of the U. S. , casting doubts as to whether it would be possible for each department to find a well-qualified black, much less hire one (1). How does the Supreme Court justify that affirmative action is a legitimate plan that benefits the US? The Supreme Court has developed a test that supposedly proves affirmative action to be useful. The case history indicates that the Supreme Court will uphold affirmative action efforts as long as it satisfies the affirmative action test (Hyde 6). As an affirmative action plan is prepared yearly, it is put to a test containing three simple mandatory objectives.
However, although the objectives are strictly focused on helping the underrepresented, they do not seem to mention anything about not interfering with the rest of the worlds advancement in schools and work force. Affirmative action in college is worse, because a person not in a minority can be cheated out of their education he or she is seeking. Therefore, the minority would again get the better job. Without saying minorities should not get financial aid or scholarships, a person should receive them for their achievements, not because they are a certain race, gender, or from a certain culture. Is this truly necessary in order to proportionality a school to the extent that it is in exact ratio to the different types of people in the US? If there is a certain amount of people from one culture in a college and they are the most eligible, then that is fine.
However, why take this privilege from someone that deserves it because someone else is in the minority? Maybe affirmative action is necessary in come cases, because anyone that is not blind would have to admit that minorities are often underrepresented or simply forgot about. This policy is the only way that they can be get the job or school that they deserve. However, it has gone too far when many are punished so a few can jump in the place they want and may deserve, just not as much as others. Who can say that they would not take advantage of the plan?
The answer is very few, and the ones that do take advantage of it still no that it is just not the right way to do things. It is hard to criticize the people who do get into job position or school because of affirmative action, they are only doing what comes natural. That is taking advantage of what they can because there are so many chances and the one you miss could be the last one. The only thing that should be criticized is the plan and society itself. It is seldom that affirmative action benefits society in todays society. "Proponents of affirmative action view their opponents with suspicion for good reason. They know not all of their opponents are racist; they also know that many of them are" (Guernsey 66). "The only thing that will enable affirmative action-or similarly any similarly controversial policy-to be debated in an atmosphere free of suspicions is for the surrounding social context to be decisively transformed" (Guernsey 66).
The only way that affirmative action could work would be in a society with no diversity, which would mean that affirmative action is needed. As long as there are different cultures, there will always be natural hostility between them. As long as there is diversity, affirmative action will only create more hostility between these different cultures. Lets say that affirmative action gets its way; what will happen? Every business that hires someone only because of their culture or gender will only be hurting themselves. This is because everyone that were undergraduates or unqualified will not do as good of a job as the ones that were not hired because they were not a minority.
Affirmative action can also be dangerous. This is because they are not only cheating themselves but cheating the ones who they serve. For instance, if an architect firm hires a drafter based on affirmative action instead of their skill, then they are hurting the people who get their drafting done through their firm. The Supreme Court considers Affirmative action to be a very serious order of business.
Their views of affirmative action are often very different than those of people who get the worst end of the bargain. Many of them only see that affirmative action is a good plan to represent the underrepresented. If this were the only aspect of affirmative action, then no one would be against it. However, something must be blinding them of the thousands of Americans who are shafted habitually in order to pacify a few.

My favorite new toy is my hacksaw. I decided I needed one for this bizarre project that involved sawing a towelbar in half and then attaching one of the pieces to another towelbar, in order to change something about my bathroom that I wasn't happy with. This is actually a good example of a situation where DIY kind of works, but kind of doesn't. It's hard to explain, but the builders of my condo did this stupid thing where the full bathroom had a small towelbar, but the small half-bathroom had a large towelbar, where it was totally useless. But in the big bathroom, there was also a hook for hanging a robe, next to the towelbar. And the mounting plate was of the same type, and it was right in line, so I decided I could just remove the hook, put up another towel bar bracket where the hook had been, and then insert a longer pole, thereby avoiding having to drill any new holes in the tile. And since I had already taken down the towel bar in the half bathroom, I could just cut off a piece of that to make a bigger bar, so I could conserve materials and save money and all that. But how would I cut it? I'd need a saw.
I thought about buying one, but then remembered that my uncle has every tool in existence and that it would make sense to borrow a tool rather than buy one. So he lent me his hacksaw, and I laboriously sawed the towel bar into the right length. While doing this I realized that his saw was rather dull, and that the screw that holds the blade in was about to break. But then the problem was how to join the two pieces of towel bar together so they would stay straight. I found a piece of plastic left over from something, which was not quite wide enough, but I wrapped some blue masking tape around it, and then shoved it into the towel bars. It kinda worked-- if I hadn't minded my towel bar looking like a droopy "V," that is. And the inept McGyver-ness of it kind of made me feel like someone's eccentric grandpa. I had originally thought a tight-fitting wood dowel would be the best thing to put inside the towel bar, but the more I thought about it, having to buy a dowel, and possibly shave it down to fit, and the tools I'd have to buy or borrow to do that, and the aluminum tape I'd need to cover the joint... well, it just began to seem silly. I decided to buy another longer towel bar, but of course when I got to Home Depot, they didn't come in quite the right size, so I realized I'd have to do some more hacksawing. I didn't know if my uncle's saw would make it, and I decided a saw would probably be a good thing to have around anyway, so I bought one of my own.
The end story is that I now have a nice, long towel bar. Plus some jagged towel bar remnants that I suppose I could use elsewhere, or sell on eBay, if anyone is into that sort of thing. And my new hacksaw worked so nicely that I decided to saw some wood shims to level my desk also. I kind of want to saw some more things, just for the heck of it. This could be by new hobby. The saw cost me about $8, and the new longer towel bar cost about $14. A small price to pay to be able to... to... um, hang towels, and saw things. Yeah.
Your post makes me think of the old saying, "When all you have is a hacksaw, everything looks like a towel bar".
Ah, and so thus begins the slow accumulation of tools of every kind... beware, it's addictive.

Wiley College is a four-year, private, historically black, liberal arts college located on the west side of Marshall, Texas. Founded in 1873 by the Methodist Episcopal Church's Bishop Isaac Wiley and certified in 1882 by the Freedman's Aid Society, it holds distinction as one of the oldest predominantly black colleges west of the Mississippi River. The original college library was a Carnegie Library. In 1907 Wiley received the first Carnegie college library west of the Mississippi. The building is now the current home of the business office. In 2005-2006, on-campus enrollment approached 450, while an off-campus program in Shreveport, Louisiana, for students with some prior college credit who seek to finish a degree, was about 250. In the Fall of 2005, total enrollment approached approximately 700. As of Fall 2006, total enrollment was about 750. Wiley is an open admissions college and about 96 percent of students receive some amount of financial aid. The 1935 Wiley College debate team was the basis for the 2007 movie The Great Debaters, directed by and starring Denzel Washington. In 1935, the Wiley College debate team defeated the reigning national debate champions, the University of Southern California (not Harvard, as depicted in the movie). On December 19, 2007, Denzel Washington announced a donation of $1 million US to Wiley so the team could be re-established.
Question and Answer about "Wiley College"


A comedian and author has praised his late wife, Michelle McNamara, for her role in the apprehension of a former police officer suspected of a string of US murders, rapes and burglaries.
"You did it, Michelle," Patton Oswalt said in an Instagram video.
"The cops are never going to say it but your book helped get this thing closed."
McNamara died suddenly in 2016 after years spent investigating the unsolved California crimes for a book.
The book - I'll Be Gone in the Dark: One Woman's Obsessive Search for the Golden State Killer - was completed posthumously and published in February, becoming a bestseller.
On Wednesday, California police said they had arrested a 72-year-old former police officer, Joseph James DeAngelo, in connection with the case.
They said "discarded DNA" had been used to match him to crimes attributed to the so-called Golden State Killer - suspected of 12 murders, 51 rapes and more than 120 burglaries.
Mr DeAngelo has initially been charged with eight counts of murder.
Police have played down any direct role by the book in the identification of the suspect.

Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide (GHRP-6) is a peptide in the growth factor family. GHRP-6 has strong effect on the release of Human Growth Hormone (HGH).
GHRP-6 contributes greatly to the body’s ability to burn fat and build muscle.
of joints, connective tissue and bone mass.
Growth hormone releasing peptide (GHRP-6) is a synthetic hexapeptide which specifically stimulates secretion of growth hormone (GH) by pituitary somatotrophs.
Sometimes, users choose to combine GHRP-6 with CJC-1295, there are very often amazing result with this combo.
peptide is broken down into amino acids or amino acid “strings” incapable of exerting an effect. They are in effect “digested”.
That effect that GHRP-6 exerts is basically “asking the pituitary to release more growth hormone & having the pituitary comply with the request”. After GHRP-6 dies, so dies its request.
night time pulse which happens quickly after you fell into a decent sound sleep.
Remember ,it is pulsation that heals (especially bone). A lot of repair happens at night. So increasing pulsation at night is important to help healing as well as building new muscle cells.
CJC-1295 is a long-lasting analog of GHRH and therefore only twice a week dosing is needed to keep GH levels elevated.
,as soon as they are injected they create a 2 hour pulse of GH release.
In the end, is this combo of CJC-1295 and GHRP-6 even safe, you may ask?
Safe? Unsafe? You can control the level of GH release through dosing. It is possible & easy to dose in such a way as to induce physiological levels of GH release.
Anytime you administer exogenic GH or induce high levels of GH release with CJC-1295/GHRP-6 you are administering a pharmacological dose.
the body in the end decides how much & in what manner it will produce GH.
The saturation dose in most studies on the GHRPs (GHRP-6, GHRP-2, Ipamorelin & Hexarelin) is defined as either 100mcg or 1mcg/kg.
What that means is that 100mcg will saturate the receptors fully, but if you add another 100mcg to that dose only 50% of that portion will be effective.
If you add an additional 100mcg to that dose only about 25% will be effective. Perhaps a final 100mcg might add a little something to GH release but that is it.
So 100mcg is the saturation dose and you could add more up to 300 to 400mcg and get a little more effect.
GHRP-6 at the saturation dose 100mcg does not really increase prolactin & cortisol but may do so slightly at higher doses. This rise is still within the normal range.
GHRP-6 can be used at saturation dose (100mcg) three or four times a day without risk of desensitization.
If desensitization were to ever occur for GHRP-6 simply stopping use for several days will remedy this effect.
Chronic use of GHRP-6 at 100mcg dosed several times a day every day will not cause pituitary problems, nor significant prolactin or cortisol problems, nor desensitize.
You want to avoid your carbs when taking CJC 1295/GHRP 6 for maximum effect. They’re best on a fasted stomach.
Is GHRP-6 effective on its own?
YES ,GHRP-6 alone is effective. It will create a spike on it’s own, but not nearly as high as if used in combination with CJC-1295.
insulin as well as steroids such as deca and equipoise are also great when used along with GHRP-6.
scientists are hoping with to gain a better clinical understanding of the peptide through further research over the next few years.

The Barrow-Downs - Middle-Earth FAQs and Misconceptions.
How many Wizards were there?
The wizards, istari, 'the wise', being their Elven name, are characters appearing on all levels of Tolkien's fiction, from the very beginning in The Hobbit, where we meet Gandalf and hear of Radagast, over The Lord of the Rings, dealing in detail with the two great wizards Saruman and Gandalf, to late notes and letters, often of a difficult nature. Through most of the writings, their order remains somewhat mysterious, and only the late writings can shed some light on questions regarding both details and important facts, such as the two Blue Wizards, or the actual number of 'the wizards'. In fact, even though a quite definite answer can be given to the latter, the difficulty of the texts about the istari can be misleading, and it is often supposed that less is known than is actually written.
How many istari, wizards, how many members of the Heren Istarion were there, if we can know for sure? The short answer for the impatient reader is "five, and no more".
This could imply that the Heren Istarion was an ad hoc formation of the five Maiar that were to go to Middle-Earth as messengers.
The statement "members of their [sc. the Valar's] high order" (ibid.) precedes the "of this Order the number is unkown"(ibid.), it is therefore likely that the latter refers to the Valar.
Note also that in the istari essay at hand, the term istari always only means the five that went to Middle-earth and are known to us; it has to be considered unlikely that a line such as "Indeed, of all the Istari, one only remained faithful" (ibid.) could even leave the possibility of Istari in Aman at all, since they, remaining as Maiar in Aman as they were, could not fall like those that went East.
Again, we have here the order of the Ainur, and no hint of an order of the Wizards beyond the five. The leading r�le of Curun�r is, as the quote shows, only due to the 'Valinorean' stature, not stature in the Heren Istarion -- the first led to the latter, obviously, implying that the Heren Istarion was indeed an ad hoc formation. Also note that the last line given above shows that there hardly was such a thing as an 'order' even in Middle-earth; had there been a fixed unity between the five aforehand, it can assumed to have been otherwise: assuredly, they would have acted together.
The council which picked the five istari, was, as Tolkien wrote, "a council of the Valar, summoned it seems by Manw� ('and maybe he called upon Eru for counsel?'), at which it was resolved to send out three emissaries to Middle-earth" (ibid.) and is also of utmost importance for the question.
Not only does it show that the Valar did not consider the Heren Istarion as the body from which to recruit the messengers, it is also highly interesting that the number originally designed by the Valar to depart East was three, and the other two only joined for other, practically unnecessary reasons. The absence of the Heren Istarion from the council's considerations implies of course that the order was formed ad hoc for the mission, and the initial number of three plus later two gives its number precisely. Since there are no other members of the Heren Istarion, simply because the five we know were its founding members, there were also only five istari in it at all.
In short, the conclusions that can safely be drawn from an attentive reading of the istari essays would be that the order of the Heren Istarion consisted of the five Wizards we know, and that it only came into being with their mission, and ceased to exist with the passing of Saruman at the latest. There were obviously no istari in this narrow sense beyond the five.
Linguistically, of course, istari, wizards, means nothing more than 'versed and wise in the ways of the world' (see above). Now, undeniably, this can be applied to all Ainur, and the question about the number boils down to a question about the definition of the term istari. If we are to distinguish the Five from the other Ainur for their mission they went on, we are led to the differentiation explained above. It is clear that throughout most writings, and practically all analysis thereof, this distinction is being made.
If the Five are seen as istari together with all other Ainur, no less wise than they, one obviously comes to the same conclusion -- for the number of the Order of the Ainur is and will remain unknown. In that unlikely case, we could not give the number of the istari, but definitely of the members of the Heren Istarion, defined as the ones to go to Middle-earth and defy Sauron.
However, the compressed composition of the istari essay, and its careful wording possess the ability to evoke only more questions.
The specification that 'they' came to the "North of Middle-earth" (ibidi), may or may not mean that others of the order referred to before that statement, sc. Ainur, were sent to other parts. What makes this wholly unlikely, however, seems to be the way the three/five istari were chosen by the council of the Valar, which leaves little room for wizards which were to join the five, but were simply not mentioned.
To what degree the specification of the istari as "of whom it is said there were five" (LR, App. B) can be interpretated to mean 'of whom there were allegedly five' is questionable. For one thing, it can simply mean that the number was already stated as fact, i.e. said, earlier. The other point is that the notes and essays on the istari, which are most important to determining their number exactly and beyond doubt, came later than the Appendices to The Lord of the Rings. Perhaps Tolkien was, at the time of writing the appendices, unsure himself, and later felt the need to remove the uncertainty (which he may or may not shared for some time himself) about the number of istari.
A last provocative quote from the UT essay would be "of this Order the number is unknown; but of those that came to the North of Middle-earth, where there was most hope [...] the chiefs were five" (UT, IV, ii; my stress).
Even though 'the chiefs' clearly refer to the istari, it is highly doubtful whether much meaning should be attributed to it.The reading that if five were the chiefs, then surely there must be more lesser ones is logical, but does not account for the fact that the statement itself may well be clear, but is not definite, not an author's explanation. If one wanted to maintain that wording at all cost and reconcile its meaning with the other texts, one might apply it instead to "the Wise" which are defined as "the chieftains of the Eldar and the Istari" (HoME XII, 1, viii) and "the Istari and the chief Eldar" (LR App. B) in the published version.
Nevertheless, taking into consideration that to most, the nature of the istari was not clear, and that they were commonly mistaken for Elves (at least among men) might show how the lines could have been blurred here. Tolkien himself briefly and hesitatingly wondered whether Glorfindel was a wizard (cf. HoME XII, 2, xiii).
This says both that the number was hard, if not impossible to tell for outsiders, because it was intentionally kept hidden (from Sauron), and that there very clearly were five. Statements not definite about their number, such as the two discussed above, can therefore contributed to writers within the fourth wall, or the author implying that knowledge in the created world was not certain.
How many Istari came to Middle-earth?


With all of the problems in the world today, everyone could use a little more love in their lives, so having an easy, low stress way to do that can make a large impact on the campus and everyone in it, so what easier way is there than giving hugs to people?
The idea of a ‘Free Hugs’ event on campus came about as an idea to “spread the love” as students get back in the swing of the semester.
This event gave students a way to talk about how they feel, what kind of things they might want changed on the campus, and someone with whom to talk. The goal was to make students more comfortable on the campus.
One of the major advantages of this initiative was the simplicity of the idea and its execution. A Free Hugs event can create a big impact on individual students. This big impact was seen as especially true for new students who did not yet feel included in their university community.
Spreading love, care, and friendship among students.
Making students, especially the freshmen and transfer students, feel welcomed.
Building local and community awareness of UIF through personal marketing and potential media coverage surrounding the event.
Interviewing students and asking them about their lives, and their stories; what they are going through, what they are excited about for the upcoming semester, etc.
Learning about opportunities for improvement at your university, for example course signup, information services, workload, etc.
Mahmoud leveraged existing welcome events on campus to ensure that many students would be in the vicinity when they held the event. This ensured that the event was properly framed in the students’ minds as a welcome event, and it increased the number of students that Mahmoud was able to reach. Other options include stressful times like examination periods or the ends of the semester.
Some people don’t want a hug, Mahmoud cautioned his team that this might be the case, and stressed that it’s not the team’s job to force anyone to hug them. Their purpose there was to share some love with the people that passed.
“Some people just don’t like touching people, or it's a cultural thing, or whatever. Don’t force hugs on people! You can just smile at them and try and spread love through some other way instead!,” Mahmoud said.
Structure of the event:During City College of New York’s Welcome Back event, in front of the university’s main building, Mahmoud and several volunteers held “Free Hug” signs and wore beaming smiles as a way to brighten their fellow student's days.
Where:Mahmoud positioned himself on campus near where the welcome event was happening for his College. Can be done anywhere on campus, from one location or multiple depending on the amount of so-called ‘huggers’.
Cost:For Mahmoud and team the cost was nominal, just the cost of purchasing two posters. Mahmoud stressed that this event could be held for free. If you wanted something like t-shirts, you would need to pay attention to the jump in cost.
One way to scale the program is asking those who receive free hugs to pass it on to others. So instead of having 2 agents giving out hugs, there are an increasing number of huggers, creating viral love on campus!

Fake or original? Even experts with a trained eye have difficulty answering this question in relation to historical coins. How, for instance, can forgeries returned to a museum instead of the coins loaned for an exhibition be recognized? How can switches and mix-ups be prevented among objects loaned by museums? Members of the staff at the Saxony-Anhalt State Office for Heritage Management and Archaeology were also seeking answers to these questions.
Around 20,000 coins, often several centuries old, are stored in the State Office's ar-chives and vaults. The collection is constantly growing. Until now, this unmanageably wide array of historical coins has been laboriously recorded and documented and by hand. Unlike paintings, the coins may not be labeled, marked or barcoded. In search of a solution to this problem and as part of the state of Saxony-Anhalt's digitization campaign that includes the digitization of cultural heritage, archaeological finds and historical coins, the State Office turned to the Fraunhofer IFF in Magdeburg.
"The State Office aimed to digitize its complete numismatic collection. This gave rise to the idea of creating a digital fingerprint with which individual coins can be recognized and classified – much like facial recognition of people. The fingerprint replaces the bar-code as it were," says Dr. Christian Teutsch, research scientist at the Fraunhofer IFF, recounting the first contact with the State Office for Heritage Management and Archaeology. The closely collaborating partners designed a visual data acquisition system and software analysis system in their project "Digital Fingerprints of Archaeological Finds: Artifact Identification and Recognition Prototype", which does this by digitizing and ex-actly describing the old coins and obtaining unique signatures from the coins. The scanning system had to achieve a recognition rate of ninety-eight percent or more, operate contactless, and acquire the data of both faces. Gold, silver, bronze and copper coins with diameters of five to seventy-five millimeters were tested.
The new scanning system makes it possible to digitize and document the numismatic collection automatically, expediting the laborious work tremendously. The project partners have already scanned in 10,000 coins. The complete collection of 20,000 specimens will soon be digitized.
Numismatists were duly impressed after an initial presentation of the prototype. "The new scanning system will revolutionize numismatics in Europe," says Teutsch, recapitulating. The great thing about it is that the application can potentially analyze paintings as well, since the system captures brushstrokes, too. Paints can be forged, but exact brushwork cannot. "We detect any Van Gogh with our solution, guaranteed. A forgery would be immediately identifiable because of discrepancies in the details of the application of paint and ridges caused by brush bristles.


A woman who had anonymously accused U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct in the early 1980s made a decision to go public with her accusations and provided details of the alleged incident, the Washington Post reported on Sunday. According to Kavanaugh and Judge, Ford's story is categorically and unequivocally false.
The existence of the letter and some details of its contents became public in recent days, however. She also said she wants the FBI to investigate the matter before the Senate advances Kavanaugh's nomination.
Sen. Doug Jones (D-Ala.), a potentially key swing vote who has not announced whether he will support Kavanaugh's nomination, said he hopes to meet with the judge and intends to raise what he called the "very serious allegation" with him if they are able to speak. Dianne Feinstein. The magazine said the woman has declined to reveal her identity. "I think it makes us look bad", he added. "It could maybe been cleared up". "I did not do this back in high school or at any time", his statement said. Republicans gave no indication Sunday that they would do so.
The accuser coming forward publicly could put new pressure on Senate Republicans to at least review the accusations before proceeding to a Judiciary Committee vote, which is scheduled for Thursday afternoon. The late entrance of the letter to the Kavanaugh pre-confirmation hearings drew cries of foul play from Kavanaugh, who denied the allegations, and his supporters. He said he has not seen the letter and plans to seek more information about the timing of its release.
What to do? Unless the leadership believes this woman, it should press ahead with the confirmation process.
"What do they want us to do?" he asked. "A lawyer close to the White House" tells Politico not only that Kavanaugh will not be withdrawn, but that his confirmation represents a higher cause: "No way, not even a hint of it". In defense, Kavanaugh and Judge have offered only a blanket denial.
"Senator Feinstein's had the letter since July", he said on "Fox News Sunday". She claims that, while in high-school, Kavanaugh and Mark Judge corralled her in a bedroom. In addition, she signed a letter denouncing President Trump's border policy. The letter was also shared with Feinstein in July.
Towards the end of the broadcast, Rogan lit up a large marijuana-and-tobacco-filled cigarette and offered it to Musk. Marijuana is legal for medical and recreational use in California, where the interview took place.
On Wednesday, Feinstein agreed to brief the other Democrats on the committee with no staff present, according to the New Yorker.
Hawaii Democratic Sen. Mazie Hirono and Connecticut Democratic Sen.
He said she used Kavanaugh's last name and voiced concern that he - then a federal judge - might one day be nominated to the Supreme Court.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has said that he would like to have Kavanaugh confirmed by October 1, the start of the Supreme Court's new term.
Republicans are trying to push the nomination through before the midterm elections in November, when their slim 51-49 hold over the Senate will be at risk.

Please provide numbers separated by a comma "," and click the "Calculate" button to find the LCM.
What is the Least Common Multiple (LCM)?
In mathematics, the least common multiple, also known as the lowest common multiple of two (or more) integers a and b, is the smallest positive integer that is divisible by both. It is commonly denoted as LCM(a, b).
There are multiple ways to find a least common multiple. The most basic is simply using a "brute force" method that lists out each integer's multiples.
As can be seen, this method can be fairly tedious, and is far from ideal.
Note that it is not important which LCM is calculated first as long as all the numbers are used, and the method is followed accurately. Depending on the particular situation, each method has its own merits, and the user can decide which method to pursue at their own discretion.


In Louisville, Ky., the thinking is that innovating on a daily basis can be intimidating for a public servant who isn't already in the mindset to do so. So the city is trying out some new things to change that.
This week, the city announced Louisville Metro Badges, an incentive program similar to the one used by the Girl Scouts, except instead of earning badges for designing board games or going camping, Louisville employees get theirs for acts of “breakthrough innovation, continuous improvement and daily work.” This initiative fits into a broader effort at all levels of Louisville to spread what the city calls institutionalized innovation, meaning that innovation work is being done by all departments, not just the tech folks. In addition to the badges program, this year Louisville began variations of the hackathon concept to lessen barriers and foster cross-agency buy-in for tech and innovation work too.
The badge program, however, is the newest of these efforts. There are 25 badges total, covering a wide swath of municipal tech and innovation landscape. Examples of these badges include Voice Activated, which can be earned by participating in a project that uses voice skills through Amazon Echo, Google Home, or other such platforms; Digital Inclusion, which is earned by participating in a low-cost Internet sign-up, a computer refurbishment, digital skills training, or other related task; and Business Intelligence, which is earned by answering a business question with data. There are two tracks — one dubbed Data Scouts and the other Innovation Pioneers — and completion of each earns a total of 10 badges. Getting these badges requires submitting simple evidence of completed tasks, such as screenshots, reports or testimonials.
Badge recipients can then add their accomplishments to their email signatures or LinkedIn profiles, or if they prefer a more tangible gauge, they can add stickers to plastic cards about the size of an ID. Louisville has also created digital trackers on its city website where employees can track their progress and easily submit evidence to earn their badges. At its most basic level, this is a creative alternative to traditional innovation training efforts like requiring staff to take time out to attend classes or lectures.
This, however, is not the only effort in Louisville that fits that description. Earlier this year, the innovation department put together a kit for analog hackathons, which essentially removes the digital component from the traditional hackathon concept, breaking attendees into groups of three to five people and then giving them a kit of 10 informational transparencies, sized a bit bigger at 11 by 17 inches. The groups are then asked to highlight an example of some info within that piqued members’ interest, a tech solution that could be created with this info, and ideas for the other info they would need to improve the project.
These analog hackathons, which Louisville has organized multiple times, are rapid. Those three steps take between 10 and 15 minutes. It’s basically the first half of a normal hackathon, lacking the second half that involves the actual tech work. The city’s innovation department has so far been pleased with the events, saying each one has yielded different ideas from the same data.
Ed Blayney, Louisville’s innovation project manager, said these sort of hackathons are a great way to get city staffers thinking differently, which leads them to conceptualize projects.
Cooperation between seemingly unrelated entities has long been a staple of the hackathon format, or at least a desired outcome. The third major concept that Louisville has used to entrench innovation deeper in its culture this year is that of the internal hackathon. Using data from the Waze app, the city held its first internal hackathon: a city-only hackathon that brought technologists together with other staffers. These events aspire for the same creation of projects and ideas that standard hackathons do, while also giving technologists an opportunity to train attendees on new tools.
These new concepts are also built upon existing support for innovation from Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer, who encourages public servants to set aside a certain amount of time each week for innovation and breakthrough work in addition to their daily tasks.

Story: Meet the wildly dysfunctional Bluth family. This family was once at the height of real estate development in Orange County, California. But when the family business - the Bluth Company - goes bust, they're suddenly found penniless with their assets frozen. They move into their last remaining asset - the model home left over from their latest housing tract. Their luxury vehicles are replaced with a reminder of the family's former wealth: 'the stair car that accompanied their private jet'. The patriarch of the family is George Bluth - he's now in prison, and loving every minute of it. His wife Lucille and daughter Lindsay are spoiled socialites who can't handle getting kicked out of family restaurants. His son Buster is in his mid 30's and lives at home. His son George Oscar Bluth is a magician who started a group to get magicians to be taken seriously, and gets kicked out when his own tricks are revealed. Lindsay is married to a man named Tobias Funke, once a psychiatrist, who decides to become an actor. The only sane member of the family: Michael Bluth, along with his son George Michael, want nothing to do with the family business. But one bizarre circumstance after another keeps Michael and George Michael from leaving their eccentric family.

I am conducting some tests to determine the efficacy of open-source memory acquisition tools. Obviously a pretty pertinent performance metric is the amount of RAM a specific tool occupies whilst the acquisition is being performed. After looking at some academic journals, I have seen some individuals record only the amount of private bytes being attributed to a tool. Others I have seen them record working set/working set peak, virtual bytes and virtual bytes peak and pagefile bytes/page file bytes peak.
I'm wondering as for why there is such a disparity in testing and what metrics I should include which would give a true reflection of how much RAM is being occupied by a tool. I hope this makes sense.
Windows memory management is complex and poorly understood by nearly everyone. Thus the differences in what is reported.
As to how important the memory foot print is, it really depends on what you are looking for.
If you are looking at the RAM usage of just a particular process, then it doesn't matter what the other processes are doing or how much RAM they use. Process A won't change it's memory usage based on what process B does.
If you are looking at what all the active processes are doing (and dumping physical RAM), then again it doesn't matter so much what the tool's foot print is. Sure some of the processes might be forced to swap some memory pages to disk, but then the same data is in the paging file. Nothing is actually lost.
I'm wondering as for why there is such a disparity in testing and what metrics I should include which would give a true reflection of how much RAM is being occupied by a tool.
The reason for different metrics ... may depend on OS platform, as well as what instrumentation services it offers. For most practical use, the metric you ask about -- occupied RAM -- is not relevant.
The closest would be working set size, or possibly non-shared working set, depending on if you want shared libraries/other code to be included or excluded. (not all platforms provide the latter).
But a working set size is measured over some particular time: under *this* second the working set size may be X, under *that* second it may be 0 ... because the process got entirely paged out, perhaps because it's waiting for I/O to complete, and other processes needed memory to execute.
So you also need to consider if you measure peak size or some type of averaged size, and over what period of time: entire lifetime, or what? And you looking at system time or process time?
All this is closely related to system tuning, where much of this and other system measurements are important. You may need to refer to system documentation related to that particular topic to make entirely certain that you are measuring the right thing.
