I saw this in the subtitles of a TV show:
Why 给 is used in that sentence?
Without considering 给, I've translated it to:
My hand was bitten by an insect.
I saw this in the subtitles of a TV show:
Why 给 is used in that sentence?
Without considering 给, I've translated it to:
给 is part of the passive structure of the sentence you've cited. It can be used before the verb either with or without another passive marker (like the neutral 被 or the colloquial 让 or 叫). It doesn't change the meaning of the sentence though, as dacongy mentioned, it can add emphasis.
Here are some example sentences:
Confusingly, 给, like 叫 and 让, can also be used as a passive marker by itself in sentences like the following
In the above sentences, 给 could be replaced with 叫, 让, or 被 with no change in meaning. (The register and regional flavor will be slightly different.)
This paper, "北京话"给"字被动句的地位及其历史发展 (PDF)", which I haven't yet had a chance to read, analyzes the use of 给 in passive sentences (被动句) in Beijing dialect. I skimmed the abstract and it seemed like it might be illuminating.
They are almost the same, and in most cases it only depends on what prefer to say. But one small piece of difference that I, as a native speaker, can sense is that: the one without 给 sounds more flat, meaning that the one who says it doesn't treat it like a big deal; the one with 给 seems a bit stronger. If you know the pronunciation, you can try to read them out loud, and feel the difference.

Selenium in the Treatment of Radiation-Associated Lymphedemas
Heather Jones, MD
Last Modified: November 5, 2001
Presenter: F. Bruns
Presenter's Affiliation: Department of Radiotherapy and Radiation Oncology, University Hospital, Muenster, Germany
Type of Session: Reporting
: Lymphedema is a relatively common side effect after surgical and/or radiotherapeutic treatment of lymph node areas. It can also be seen due to tumor compression of the lymphatic channels. There are some preliminary studies that selenium, a popular antioxidant, may have an antiedematous effect. This study was designed to evaluate the impact of oral selenium in the treatment of lymphedema of the trunk, the extremities, and the head and neck region in the radiation oncology setting.
Materials and
Author's Conclusions
The results suggest that sodium selenite has a positive effect on acute and chronic lymphedemas in different body sites. The treatment is well tolerated by the patients and easy to deliver. Overall, the treatment was well tolerated by all patients. It is very inexpensive and has a high cost-effectiveness ratio.
Clinical/Scientific Implications
Many cancer patients attempt to alleviate the sequelae of cancer therapy with the use of unconventional medical therapies. One popular intervention is the use of the antioxidant selenium. This small, yet interesting study indicates that selenium my benefit a subset of patients with chronic lymphedema. This is a small study and it is not clear if the resolution acute edema in the head and neck patients was simply due to natural recovery from therapy or drug effect. Nonetheless, the use of selenium appears feasible and cost effective and should be studied in a prospective randomized fashion.

Introduction to photodynamic therapy
For information about this topic, please click here
Lara Bonner Millar, MD
The Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania
Last Modified: August 16, 2011
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a treatment that uses light to damage malignant or abnormal tissues. PDT is FDA-approved for providing relief of obstruction caused by esophageal cancer or non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC); treatment of microinvasive endobronchial NSCLC in patients not recommended for surgery or radiotherapy; treatment of Barrett's Esophagus and high grade dysplasia; actinic keratosis; and age-related macular degeneration.
PDT requires a light source, such as a laser, combined with a drug that makes the tissues light-sensitive, which is known as a "photosensitizer." When the light and photosensitizer are combined, oxygen-free radicals that are able to destroy cancer cells are released. Photosensitizers are taken up in greater amounts by cancer cells compared to normal cells.
A photosensitizing drug is given to the patient by an intravenous (IV) line a few days prior to the light exposure, but the drug is not activated until it is exposed to a particular wavelength of light. When the light is directed at the area of the cancer, the photosensitizer is activated and the cancer cells are destroyed. This wavelength determines how far the light can travel into the body. Typically, the depth of penetration is on the order of millimeters. Therefore, PDT is generally not used to treat large tumors, because the light cannot reach the necessary depth to treat those tumors. Different photosensitizers are activated by different wavelengths of light; therefore, depending on the area of the body to be treated, there are different photosensitizing drugs and different wavelengths of light that can be used.

Wilson: Torrington girls clinch NVL Copper title
Respect is great, but hardware isn't too bad, either. Coach Mike Fritch's Torrington girls basketball team earned the respect part a while back, and Tuesday night the spoils started rolling in.
The Red Raiders shot their way past Crosby, 64-41, on a snowy evening in front of a small and sedate crowd at the Palace to earn the Naugatuck Valley League Copper Division title.
It's not the big one, but it is a good one, especially when you've knocked on a title's door so many times in the past.
"(This means) so much," the Raiders' best player on this night, Nicole Kozlak, said. "The past couple of years we've come up short. This year has been a lot of hard work and playing together."
The satisfaction may also be bathed in a dose of overachievement. At least if you go back to last season.
This is a team that lost All-Everything Aly Otis, center Caycee Williams and point guard Mariah Cerruto from a squad that was just six minutes from an NVL title before Holy Cross rallied in the late going.
Now the team is 15-4 overall (15-3 NVL, 10-1 Copper) and hoisting a trophy that, in all honesty, maybe wasn't an expectation in too many quarters.
"Give the kids a lot of credit," Fritch said. "We lost three good players and a ton of seniors. We have two senior starters, and in the beginning we wondered who would be the go-to person. We didn't have to worry. Everybody took a turn."
And so it was on this night against a Bulldogs team that is having a memorable year (10-8), but is not quite up to Torrington's level. The Raiders bombarded coach Phil Lott's crew from long range with eight 3-pointers.
Then there was Kozlak.
See RAIDERS, Page 5C
The senior sharpshooter is one of those players you always have to keep in the corner of your eye. If you don't, you'll pay a painful price.
En route to a 17-point performance, Kozlak dropped in five 3-pointers.
That would have been a nice night in anyone's book. But it didn't stop there. She was a wall on the defensive end. Given the task of guarding the NVL's leading scorer, Za'Nayia Love (17 points), for much of the night, Kozlak came up with seven blocks and snared nine rebounds.
"That's a career night," said Fritch.
"I haven't had a game all year where I've been really solid," said Kozlak. "I've had my ups and downs. Tonight I felt great."
Well, that was evident early. Three treys in a little over five minutes to start the game helped the Raiders to an early 19-9 lead. Crosby was not catching up.
The Bulldogs were pesky and hung around, trailing 30-21 at the half. But too many shooters on the other side had people warming up the cars and scraping the windshields by the end of the third quarter.
Kozlak started the third quarter with a 3-pointer and an offensive rebound basket. Then a 12-3 run in the final 3 1/2 minutes turned a 39-28 lead into a 51-31 edge. Kozlak added another trey in the surge as did Caroline Teti (15 points).
Lott likes his team, but knows where the Raiders are at this point and where his club is.
"I saw a team (Torrington) full of shooters, and with us we're not ready to play man-to-man right now," said Lott. 'We have to stay in a zone and they all can shoot, not just their starters but their bench, too.'
Fritch says his team doesn't look for the three, but if it is there, they will take it.
They will also make it a lot of the time.
All of this just continues to add drama to the upcoming NVL Tournament. If Watertown has been the most consistent team all season, suddenly the Raiders may have the most momentum with consecutive wins over Holy Cross, Kennedy and now Crosby.
Fritch talked about a second half of the season still to play. The Raiders would certainly like to add another piece of hardware to the showcase. There's nothing like a few tangible baubles to go with the respect they earned a long while back.
One thing is for sure: They will have to be dealt with, these Copper Division champions.

Will it be a good practice to have test cases stored along with the source code in a file or within the source code comments itself? Few months back, I met a programmer from a big corporation who suggested me that their company stores all the test cases same way.
Sign up

Perhaps you misunderstood. Test code/comments should not be included in product source code.
But, at some company's test code is managed the same way as product code via source control, and is checked into the same build branches.
I wouldn't store written test cases within code comments. It's too scattered and would make reading both the test cases and the source code itself more difficult. Additionally, many written test cases use a richer medium (involving pictures, charts, etc) that isn't well expressed within comments.
As far as storing your written test cases within your source control system, that sometimes makes sense. They can easily be versioned along with your code that way.
But consider who the readers of your test cases will be first. Do they all have access, licenses, etc to your source control system? Is this an efficient mechanism for all your readers, or just for programmers?
At my shop, we store all documents (as well as most other test assets) in SharePoint. For us, that's the "standard" mechanism used throughout the organization, and is well-suited for all the readers of our test documents.
I wonder if the cases were noted that way to be pulled out with a Doc system, like PerlDoc or something, when I was working with a Perl framework some cases were noted that way within the test code. Although with the actual production code? Nah, I don't see that since that means you have code bloat to the production system with your cases as comments...unless they are stripped out before compilation.
I've also seen it where the SCCS has a test folder off the main code tree, pretty much most open source projects I have seen do this as well, so the tests are connected but don't need to be checked out and compiled.
Personally I like to keep my tests separate, my test frameworks have their own location within the SCCS that way they can be kept up to date and don't rely on production builds to be updated. It also keeps me in a safer environment so there is no cross-contamination whenever frameworks that support the production code get updated (like .NET 3.5 to 4.0) if my test framework doesn't support it yet.
One might argue that test cases are more likely to be updated if they are documented in the source code. However, in my experience, comments are often outdated. I suspect test cases would be outdated as well.
When a test case is discovered to be outdated (or missing), who will updated it: a developer or a tester? In my experience, developers are usually uncomfortable with testers making any changes to source code, even if only to comments.
In my organization, test cases are maintained in a Wiki.
I'm confused by the question i'm afraid.
We have automated regression tests (checks) which are very much part of the source code. The checks are run every time a programmer commits code (continuous integration).
However, the automated checks are not deployed to live - only the app code is wrapped up in a war file & released.
This way, if a Programmer inadvertently changes the logic of the app when coding, an automated check will fail.
Personally, I wouldn't have test cases as comments in the code - I can't see the benefit in this. Wouldn't they bloat the code & make it more 'noisy'?
I feel user246 has the right idea with having the test cases in a wiki - this can serve as window on all tests (at all levels) which can be read by programmers & business analysts alike (is this right user246?)
TL;DR answer
Are each of these considered Best practice:
Full answer
Firstly, the idea of storing test cases in comments in the code seems like the worst of all worlds. You can't easily use a testing framework to automate your tests, you have to do some magic to extract the tests and run them (so you get no help from your IDE when writing them) and your code is bloated with tests which obscures the purpose of the code.
Storing test cases in the same source file as the production code under test is the simplest option. But without a lot of pre-processor directives or annotations you will end up with your test code bloating your production code unnecessarily, and depending on how you have structured your code, you may end up accidentally exposing internal implementation to users of that code.
The best option is to storing test cases separately from code and structure your code to support that. This has a number of advantages, as described in other answers, but there are also pitfalls. Luckily there are often ways to get around them, which others do not seem to have discussed.
For instance, if you want to unit test some private behaviour of a class, depending on the language/environment, you may have three options:
In the Eclipse world, 3. can be achieved by using fragments. In the C# world, we might use partial classes. Other languages/environments often have similar functionality, you just need to find it.
Blindly assuming 1. or 2. are the only options would be likely to result in production software bloated with test code or nasty class interfaces that wash their dirty linen in public. *8')
Version control
I find it difficult to imagine doing anything other than storing test cases as code under revision control, just like production code. You might prefer test code to be in a different repository, possibly even with different access permissions for test programmers and production programmers (if you separate the two), but it just as important to know which version of the tests you are running as it is to know which version of the code is being tested.
Consider the maintenance of the test cases. If the test cases themselves need to be updated and they are in the comments of the source code, modifying the test cases will force a rebuild of the software. This is a bad practice. The code should only be rebuilt when the code itself is changed.
Managing test cases in a separate file is a different story. Keeping track of test case revisions via source control allows for traceability between test case revisions and software releases.
Storing testcase along with the source code in a file or within the source code comments itself may work for Unit testing where there is always one to one mapping with code unit. However when the source spans across hundreds of files and millions of lines of code all cases can not be mapped with code block in a single file for system integration testing and subsequent testing phases.
Its good practice to use some sort of version control system for testcases, but mixing it with source code file itself may be not be a good idea (apart from Unit Test cases).
This is common practice in Python for modules and makes good sense.
If you choose to run the module by itself then it runs its own test cases providing example of its own API as well as verification that it works.
For larger codebases these do become pure examples however rather than a full test suite.

Two Logan County men are in jail Monday and are being accused of stealing anhydrous from a farm supply company. Anhydrous is a fertilizer farmers use for corn and soybeans and an essential ingredient to making meth.
Twenty five year old Chris Watkins of Auburn and thirty three year old Anthony Bellamy of Russellville were arrested last night. The Logan County Sheriff's Department says the two were found stealing anhydrous from Southern States.
Logan County Sheriff, Wallace Whittaker, says these cases are becoming more common place with more than 70 percent of their cases being meth-related.
According to area Ag Extension Offices, Warren, Logan, and Simpson counties have the most problems with anhydrous theft. That's because farmers in those counties use the fertilizer more often for the corn and soybean crops in the area.

About That Montana Supreme Court Decision And Citizens United
As has now been widely reported, the Montana Supreme Court recently tried to consign Citizens United to its well deserved fate by essentially holding that the U.S. Supreme Court's folly does not apply in Montana. I have genuinely struggled about what to say about this 5-2 decision — which is why ThinkProgress has not reported on it prior to this post. On the one hand, the Montana justices defied an obviously wrong decision that threatens to turn American democracy into an auction that sells essential government jobs to whichever special interest group happens to be the highest bidder. On the other hand, ThinkProgress has been unequivocal in condemning conservative officials who believe that they have the power to defy Supreme Court decisions they disagree with, or who think that states can simply ignore federal law or the Constitution.
We will not abandon this commitment to the rule of law today. It is wrong when Newt Gingrich plots a campaign of massive resistance against judges he disagrees with, and Montana's justices act no less illegitimately when they fail to follow a binding Supreme Court precedent. There is no reason to doubt that every word of the Montana Supreme Court's decision — which explains in great detail how corporate money corrupts a state's politics — is accurate, except for the part when they say that Citizens United does not force them to allow corporations to corrupt Montana.
Yet, while the Montana justices erred, they erred far less than the five U.S. Supreme Court justices who ignored the Constitution and decades of precedent to strike down a 63 year old ban on corporate money in politics. The U.S. Supremes will doubtless decide they need to review the Montana decision. They should do so, and they should reverse their error in Citizens United as soon as possible to minimize its impact on the upcoming election.
Additionally, every judge in the country should read Montana Justice James Nelson's dissent from the decision rejecting Citizens United. He devotes most of the last eight pages of this decision to explaining why, despite the fact that he is bound by Supreme Court precedent, the one that binds him today is disastrously wrong:
While, as a member of this Court, I am bound to follow Citizens United, I do not have to agree with the Supreme Court's decision. And, to be absolutely clear, I do not agree with it. For starters, the notion that corporations are disadvantaged in the political realm is unbelievable. Indeed, it has astounded most Americans. The truth is that corporations wield inordinate power in Congress and in state legislatures. It is hard to tell where government ends and corporate America begins; the transition is seamless and overlapping. In my view, Citizens United has turned the First Amendment's "open marketplace" of ideas into an auction house for Friedmanian corporatists. Freedom of speech is now synonymous with freedom to spend. Speech equals money; money equals democracy. This decidedly was not the view of the constitutional founders, who favored the preeminence of individual interests over those of big business. […]
Lastly, I am compelled to say something about corporate "personhood." While I recognize that this doctrine is firmly entrenched in the law, I find the entire concept offensive. Corporations are artificial creatures of law. As such, they should enjoy only those powers—not constitutional rights, but legislatively-conferred powers—that are concomitant with their legitimate function, that being limited-liability investment vehicles for business. Corporations are not persons. Human beings are persons, and it is an affront to the inviolable dignity of our species that courts have created a legal fiction which forces people—human beings—to share fundamental, natural rights with soulless creations of government. Worse still, while corporations and human beings share many of the same rights under the law, they clearly are not bound equally to the same codes of good conduct, decency, and morality, and they are not held equally accountable for their sins. Indeed, it is truly ironic that the death penalty and hell are reserved only to natural persons.
Even in an era when corporate interest groups dominate the U.S. Supreme Court, judges lack the authority to defy the high Court's commands. What they can never lose, however, is their right to speak out in published opinions about how deeply misguided the nation's highest Court has become. Justice Nelson's opinion should be the model for every judge who fears the Supreme Court has forgotten to follow the very Constitution it is sworn to uphold.

Howard Latin, Distinguished Professor of Law at Rutgers School of Law–Newark, has been recognized by his peers for cogently presenting the case for tackling climate-change risks by adopting clean replacement technologies rather than failed emissions-reductions plans.
Environmental law professors have identified Climate Change Policy Failures: Why Conventional Mitigation Approaches Cannot Succeed (World Scientific Publishing, 2012) as one of the best environmental scholarly books of last year or this year. The list was compiled by Harvard Law School professor Richard J. Lazarus. An expert in environmental and natural resources law, Lazarus is the principal author of Deep Water – The Gulf Oil Disaster and the Future of Offshore Drilling, which is the report to the president of the National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling Commission, for which he served as the executive director.
Professor Latin's book was one of only seven selected, and the only work on global climate change. In Climate Change Policy Failures, Latin explains why current national and international mitigation programs would achieve too little greenhouse gas reductions over too long a period of time. Instead, he proposes a shift to a "clean" technology-replacement strategy that could support current living standards and expand economic development without further damaging the climate.
Climate Change Policy Failures "will definitely make you think about alternative mitigation approaches," says former U.S. Environmental Protection Agency general counsel E. Donald Elliott, who describes Howard Latin as "one of the world's most provocative and creative environmental experts."
On Saturday, April 13, 2013, Latin will keynote the Villanova Environmental Law Journal's Annual Blank Rome LLP Symposium, which is devoted to his book and its central themes. The symposium title is "Decarbonization: A New Direction for Climate Change Policy?"
Speakers include: Dr. Stewart Prager, director of the Princeton Plasma Lab; Dr. Michael Trachtenberg, managing director of Greenhouse Gas Industries, LLC, and an adjunct professor at Rutgers University; Dr. Ajay K. Prasad, professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and director of the Center for Fuel Cell Research at the University of Delaware; Dr. Frank Felder, director of the Center for Energy, Economic & Environmental Policy at Rutgers University; Kenneth Gillingham, assistant professor of economics at Yale University; David Driesen, University Professor at Syracuse University College of Law; and Matthew Stepp, senior policy analyst at the Information Technology & Innovation Foundation.
Professor Latin joined the Rutgers faculty after earning a B.A. from Brandeis and a J.D. from the University of California at Berkeley. He has been a Fulbright Scholar in Australia and South Africa, and has traveled to more than 40 countries while conducting research on global climate change and international biodiversity conservation issues. An elected member of the American Law Institute since 1992, Latin has served as a consultant on environmental and torts issues to several government agencies and advocacy groups. For the past few years, he has focused on climate-policy mitigation alternatives from a multi-disciplinary perspective: using law, economics, diverse social sciences, and international relations.| Read Story

Does anyone know of a reasonable upper bound for the following: $$\sum_{i = 1}^m \frac{\binom{i}{k}}{2^i},$$ where we $k$ and $m$ are fixed positive integers, and we assume that $\binom{i}{k} = 0$ whenever $k > i$.
One trivial upper bound uses the identity $\binom{i}{k} \le \binom{i}{\frac i2}$, and the fact that $\binom{i}{\frac{i}{2}} \le \frac{2^{i+1}}{\sqrt{i}}$, to give a bound of $$2\sum_{i = 1}^m \frac{1}{\sqrt{i}},$$ where $\sum_{i = 1}^m \frac{1}{\sqrt{i}}$ is upper bounded by $2\sqrt{m}$, resulting in a bound of $4\sqrt{m}$. Can we do better?

To my understanding, Jehovah's Witnesses try to exclude pagan influences from their practice. Whether or not they do, what is their reason for doing this?

Based on this 15 December 2007 article from The Watchtower, called Can a Pagan Holiday Be Made Christian?, the answer comes from 2 Corinthians 6:14-17 (New World Translation).
Q. "Why do Jehovah's Witnesses exclude pagan influences from their doctrine?"
A. Because the doctrine we who are members of the unified worldwide Christian congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses strive to the very best of our imperfect ability to obey is the doctrine found in God's word the Holy Bible... and I quote:
"Therefore do not become partakers with them; 8 for YOU were once darkness, but YOU are now light in connection with [the] Lord. Go on walking as children of light, 9 for the fruitage of the light consists of every sort of goodness and righteousness and truth. 10 Keep on making sure of what is acceptable to the Lord; 11 and quit sharing with [them] in the unfruitful works that belong to the darkness, but, rather, even be reproving [them]" ~ Ephesians 4:7-11
"Do not become unevenly yoked with unbelievers. For what fellowship do righteousness and lawlessness have? Or what sharing does light have with darkness? 15 Further, what harmony is there between Christ and Be′li·al? Or what portion does a faithful person have with an unbeliever? 16 And what agreement does God's temple have with idols? For we are a temple of a living God; just as God said: "I shall reside among them and walk among [them], and I shall be their God, and they will be my people." 17 "'Therefore get out from among them, and separate yourselves,' says Jehovah, 'and quit touching the unclean thing'"; "'and I will take YOU in.'" 18 "'And I shall be a father to YOU, and YOU will be sons and daughters to me,' says Jehovah the Almighty."" ~ 2 Corinthians 6:14-18
"I solemnly charge you *before God and Christ Jesus*, who is destined to judge the living and the dead, and by his manifestation and his kingdom, 2 preach the word, be at it urgently in favorable season, in troublesome season, reprove, reprimand, exhort, with all long-suffering and [art of] teaching. 3 For there will be a period of time when they will not put up with the healthful teaching, but, in accord with their own desires, they will accumulate teachers for themselves to have their ears tickled; 4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, whereas they will be turned aside to false stories." ~ 2 Timothy 4:1-4
"Now this is the basis for judgment, that the light has come into the world BUT MEN HAVE LOVED THE DARKNESS RATHER THAN THE LIGHT, FOR THEIR WORKS WERE WICKED. 20 For he that PRACTICES vile things hates the light and does not come to the light, IN ORDER THAT HIS WORKS MAY NOT BE REPROVED. 21 But he that does what is true comes to the light, in order that his works MAY BE MADE MANIFEST AS HAVING BEEN WORKED IN HARMONY WITH GOD."" ~ John 3:19-21
~ NOTE: I am a dedicated and baptized member of the worldwide unified Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses.
As a Jehovah's Witness in doing research on these Holidays I found that they are celebrations founded when Rome in the years 100-300ad tried to unite all the different beliefs practiced at that time they took the names of the pagan holidays and gave them Christian names . They are still Pagan and created back in the days of Nimrod . He built the tower of Babel. The Extended Babel is found in Rev 17-18, called Babylon the Great. In Rev 18:4 God warns us to get free from her and her practices. We therefore have nothing to do with those holidays which were and stil are founded by Satan through Nimrod. this is a condensed version but I hope it helps
When I was learning I asked a question similar to this. I asked why we don't celebrate the holidays or celebrate holidays that seem harmless like thanksgiving.
My bible study teacher put it like this. You are walking and see a piece of candy laying in gutter. The candy is sweet and tastes good, but you just don't know its origins, whats touched it, or why it was thrown there.
Holidays are like that candy. They are appealing and fun, but we don't know their origins. Most of the holidays we do know their origins and they are pagan. The first century Christians didn't observe these celebrations and we should follow their example.
If there is even a small chance that these would anger god I wouldn't risk it. Every time the Jews strayed from true worship and worshiped other gods and idols god punished them for it. My love for god keeps me from doing things that may displease him.
I Looked through the teach book and found the section that my answer is based on. Its from What does the bible really teach? Free to download. It explains everything we believe.
We do celebrate some things, such as weddings, anniversaries, and a few others. I know why on most and very little on some. If we have questions on why, then we ask an elder and they usually have a good answer with a bunch of scriptures.
JW's pick and choose which pagan practices are O.K. or not. Sorry, not the individual JW's (they get no say in anything, nor are they supposed to investigate anything that isn't JW literature). Why do JW's go on a honeymoon after they marry? This is a definate pagan practice from Babylon no less!: Honey moon. In ancient Babylon, the father of the bride supplied the groom with a months supply of honey-mead as a present. Some Eastern european cultures suggest that the bride be taken and hidden for a month, in case the brides family didn't approve of the marriage..Wedding rings? JW's wear wedding rings. :An ancient Roman custom. It signified a financial arrangement between the betrothed families. All in all, I learnt a lot of Biblical stuff I didn't know from the local JW elder. A lot of Bible 'knowledge' most people, including myself, had was/is wrong. The JW's, I believe, are correct in a lot of their Bible interpretations, wrong in others. When my research leads me to believe what the JW's also believe,(the trinity, the torture stake, satan etc) the local elder says that is Jehovah imparting His knowledge to you. When my research brings me answers that the JW's don't believe in, this elder says this 'independent thinking' is actually satan. When I am commanded to 'Make sure of all things', what it really means is: Get all your facts and answers from JW publications only!. If only the JW publications provided a list of references and scholars for their claims. Anything else is urinating on my back and telling me it's raining.

Here is the problem I put to you.
I have an page where a random image is placed using some hand written Javascript code. the premise is that the images are all different sizes.
Now I want to display the image so that either it takes up most of the screen ( style=" width: 95%;" ) or that the image doesn't resize higher then it's own maximum size. So in essence the image is always fully displayed fully (horizontally at least).
What i don't want to do is hardcode anything but the image locations. So I want to dynamically somehow fetch the max sizes and force the page to recognize them.
I've been looking at finding Javascript (and JQuery by suggestion) functions and CSS code to manage what I am looking for, but to no avail. Part of the problem may be me not finding a reliable readable source, having learnt some stuff in school but honestly not having a proper clue for what I am looking for. And right now I seeing my options I feel like what I ask cannot be done.
However I pose the problem here. And also paste the code I had so far. Any suggestions, alterations and help is welcome. I don't know and can't find it.

Searching writes into the index structures, so you are going to get a copy of the memory anyway (copy-on-write). Using a second mod_perl server with SWISHED (as Peter commented about) might be a bit more efficient memory wise since there would be fewer child processes running swish. If that's worth the trade-off of running a second mod_perl server is something you would have to determine. The act of opening the index doesn't use that much RAM. Running searches can, though. Try opening the indexes in startup.pl and in child fork and report back the differences and how you measured it. > The other question I have is regarding incremental mode.

I only know a little about incremental internals. It's not really on-the-fly. It uses a different index format -- a btree structure that allow updates. Deletions are made by marking that the file has zero words total, but doesn't really delete the word data. So the index continues to grow. It also means that the search engine really finds words from deleted files and then those files are checked to see if they have been deleted, and if so, not added to the result set. It's not really on-the-fly because, although you can add files to an existing index, the final stages of indexing are still done every time a file is added -- namely the presorted indexes have to be rebuilt. I'm not 100% sure, but I suspect there's a time when the index is in an unstable state while adding files to the index. I tried a commercial search engine once -- I can't remember what it was (they kept emailing me for months after the "free trial" so you would think I would remember) -- but it truly allowed searches while it was indexing. The down side was it took f o r e v e r to run indexing, and searches were not that speedy. Yes, I suspect that was a trade-off for scalability. -- Bill Moseley firstname.lastname@example.com Unsubscribe from or help with the swish-e list: http://swish-e.org/Discussion/ Help with Swish-e: http://swish-e.org/current/docs email@example.com on Thu Feb 17 07:24:14 2005

This breathtaking walk starts with a visit to Capitoline Hill before continuing through to the Roman Forum, the teeming heart of ancient Rome, to reach the Colosseo (the Coliseum), one of the most famous Roman wonders. It ends a visit of the impressive Fori Imperiali (Imperial Forum).
Capitoline Hill is the smallest but highest of the Seven Hills of Rome and was a natural fortress, allowing Rome to control the nearby land as well as the river.
The Roman Forum was the place of triumphal processions, key elections, criminal trials, gladiator matches, prostitution and the center of commercial business--an ancient Wall Street with a Rome Stock Exchange.
The Coliseum was constructed from A.D. 72-80 and is the largest amphitheater ever built in the Roman Empire; it is considered one of the greatest works of Roman architecture.
The Imperial Forum is a group of monumental public squares, constructed over 150 years from 46 B.C. to 113 A.D.
Start your visit by climbing to the roof of the Vittoriano, where you will have one of the best views in all of Rome.
During the summer, temperatures higher than 104 degrees are common, so make sure to bring water and dress lightly.
The Vittoriano
This huge white monument is built of pure white marble from Botticino, Italy, and was erected in honor of Victor Emmanuel, the first king of unified Italy. It was inaugurated in 1911 and then completed in 1935. The construction was a bit controversial, as a large area of Capitoline Hill was destroyed along with some historic areas.
Buiried beneath the Vittoriano is the "Milite Ignoto," ("Unknown Soldier") from World War I.
If you wish, you can take an elevator to the roof where you will be treated to a wonderful view of the Roman Forum and Coliseum. The visit to the roof lasts about 90 minutes and costs 7 euros.
Capitoline Hill
Capitoline Hill is the smallest but highest of the Seven Hills of Rome. During ancient times, the hill was covered with temples facing toward the Roman Rorum. From 500 to 1540, the hill was in ruins and all that remained was a pasture for goats and other animals. In 1536, Pope Paul III decided to restore the entire city to receive the Emperor Charles Quint, whose army devastated Rome in 1527.
In 1540, Michelagelo created the Piazza del Campidoglio and the surrounding buildings, with perfect symmetry; they faced the Basilica di San Pietro.
Legend claims that Rome was founded on Capitoline Hill by Romulus in 753 B.C. Romulus and his brother, Remus, were children of the god Mars and Silvia, the princess of Alba Longa who had been forced to be a vestal (young virgin girls who were guardians of the Vesta's temple). The king of Alba Longa, uncle of Romulus and Remus, attempted to kill them, but Silvia left them to fend for themselves, in the hopes that they would survive. According to the legend, they were "adopted" by a she-wolf, who nurtured them. Years later, Romulus brought together outlaws to attack the Sabine and kidnap their women and by doing so founded Rome.
The Capitoline Museum is the world's oldest museum and was founded in 1471 by Pope Sixtus IV. One of the main reasons for the museum was to hold the bronze statues of the famous Capitoline she-wolf.
Tarpeian Rock
From Tarpeian Rock you can see the whole Roman Forum in front of you. This giant area was once the center of the world for several hundred years. Traitors to the republic were pushed off this rock in the direction of the Roman Forum as punishment.
On your right you will see Palatine Hill, which is worth a visit of its own, and beyond the Roman Forum you can see the majestic outline of the Coliseum in the distance.
Roman Forum
The Roman Forum is a top tourist destination and with good reason. It was the heart of ancient Rome. Here you will find the oldest buildings, including the former royal residency (regia) and the complex of the vestal virgins as well as the senate house, courthouses and various religious buildings.
The Forum was the city square where the Romans could gather for political, judicial and religious rituals. During the republic (509 B.C. to 27 B.C.), plebeians (poor people) and patricians (nobility) shared control of the city. As the army's power increased during during Roman conquests, Roman marshals were able to take power from the senate to form dictatorships.
A brief history:
In 750 B.C. only villages occupied by farmers were located on the Roman hills. In the tiny valley in the middle of the hills, a marsh was used as a graveyard and meeting point by the inhabitants of the villages. This marsh was the site of what would become one of the greatest forums of all time.
In 616 B.C. the Etruscans tried to drain the stagnating waters from the valley into the Tiber River and built the Cloaca Maxima, the first Roman sewer.
In 184 B.C. the satiric author Plaute described the Forum as a giant commercial quarter with prostitutes, traders and counterfeiters, with both rich and poor men.
Victories in foreign wars brought back many riches to the Roman Empire; with this wealth the Forum was transformed into the world's richest place, a sort of ancient Wall Street.
In 27 B.C. the senate elected Octavius as the Emperor Augustus with full power and he transformed the Forum using white marble.
Temple of Saturn
This temple, dedicated to the god Saturn, was built in the fourth century. One of the most popular Roman festivals started in this temple: the Saturnalia. This giant party was characterized by tomfoolery and reversal of social roles: slaves and masters switched places.
Saturnalia was introduced around 217 B.C. and was originally celebrated for a day, on Dec. 17. It later grew until it became a weeklong party, ending on the Dec. 23. The ruins of the temple are easy to identify: eight columns near Capitoline Hill.
Temple of Vespasian and Titus
These columns are all that remain of the Temple of Vespasian and his son, Titus. Construction began in A.D. 79 when Vespasian died and Titus gained control, but was not completed and dedicated until A.D. 87.
Arch of Septimius Severus
This white marble arch was dedicated in 203 to celebrate the Parthinia victories in 194 and 195 under Emperor Septimius Serverus.
Temple of Castor and Pollux
Only three columns remain of the Temple of Castor and Pollux in the middle of the Forum, which was built in 500 B.C. to celebrate the Roman victory in the Battle of Lake Regillus in 495 B.C. According to legend, the twins Castor and Pollux, the offspring of Roman gods, helped the Roman army during the fight and subsequently brought news of the victory back to Rome to the exact place where the temple was erected.
The Vestal Temple
Vestal virgins were in charge of the cultivation of the sacred fire that was not allowed to go out. The sacred fire was in the small round place between the three columns of Castor and Polux and the huge house of the vestals was located where some sculptures of the vestals are now exposed.
Arch of Titus
Built in the first century, this arch commemorates Titus' victory in the Sack of Jerusalem in A.D. 70. It also inspired the design of the Arc de Triomphe, one of the more famous landmarks in Paris.
Arch of Constantine (Arco di Constantino)
The Constantine Arch was built in 315 to commemorate Constantine I's victory in the Battle of Milvian Bridge over Maxentius; it is the most recent of the triumphal arches that remain today.
The Coliseum
The Coliseum was completed in A.D. 80 after about 100 years of construction; it was the largest amphitheater built by the Roman Empire.
The circus (circus means "circle" or "ring") was able to accommodate up to 50,000 spectators who crowded in to watch gladiators, sea battles (they were able to fill the center with water sail ships in there), animal hunts (elephants, tigers, lions) and executions. Some 5,000 animals were killed for the inauguration alone.
By 404, gladiator fights were forbidden in the Coliseum and in the sixth century animal fights were stopped as well. Many of the stones of the coliseum were used to build San Pietro's Basilica.
Via dei Fori Imperiali
The Via dei Fori Imperiali runs from Piazza Venezia to the Coliseum and passes the forum of Nerva, the forum of Augustus and the forum of Trajan. The road was originally named Via dell'Impero and was built between 46 B.C. and A.D. 113--over 150 years--which makes it 600 years younger than the Roman Forum.
Julius Caesar was the first to build his square in 46 B.C. He financed the construction with his own private possessions.
Augustus constructed one in 2 B.C. and paid for the construction with plunder from the battle of Filippi against Caesar's murderers.
They were followed by Vespasian (in 75) to commemorate the conquest of Jerusalem, Nerva (in 98) and Trajan (in 113) to commemorate the conquest of the Dacie (a region located near the Black Sea, around present-day Romania).
This tour includes most of the highlights of the ancient eternal city but there are many more exceptional wonders and sights to enjoy throughout Rome. It is impossible to see them all, but fun to try.

Tebow Era Is Already Over
Tim Tebow's tenure with the New York Jets began last March with a news conference attended by more than 200 media members—a reception fit for a president. It ended Monday with a 133-word news release.
The Jets' announcement Monday morning that they had released Tebow just 13 months after they traded two draft picks to the Denver Broncos to acquire him was hardly surprising. He had joined the Jets as the NFL's most popular and polarizing player, but by the time the 2012 regular season was over, his limited skills as a quarterback and the Jets' failure to find a productive role for him had left him an afterthought.
Following their decision to select West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith on Friday in the second round of the NFL Draft, the Jets had six quarterbacks on their roster, a logjam that was going to cost at least one of them his job. Tebow was the first quarterback to go. His departure was merely a matter of time.
"We have a great deal of respect for Tim Tebow," Jets coach Rex Ryan said in a statement. "Unfortunately, things did not work out the way we all had hoped. Tim is an extremely hard worker, evident by the shape he came back in this off-season. We wish him the best moving forward."
In the wake of Tebow's release, a Biblical passage was posted on a Twitter account known to be used by him: "Proverbs 3:5-6: Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding…in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight." He didn't respond to an attempt to reach him via his email account.
The Jets' Tebow experiment—conceived by former general manager Mike Tannenbaum, who declined to comment Monday—was misbegotten from the start. Tebow, 25, was given little playing time and opportunity to replicate the success he enjoyed during the 2011 season, when he led the Broncos to the playoffs after a 1-4 start and threw for 316 yards and an overtime touchdown in a dramatic wild-card victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
He appeared in just 12 games for the Jets—sometimes as a quarterback in the Jets' derivation of the "Wildcat" formation, sometimes as a punt-protector, sometimes as a receiver. He completed six passes, rushed for 102 yards and didn't score a touchdown, clashing with then-offensive coordinator Tony Sparano.
When coach Rex Ryan benched starting quarterback Mark Sanchez twice late in the season, each time Ryan replaced him with third-stringer Greg McElroy, not Tebow.
As of late Monday afternoon, no NFL team had signed Tebow. If the rest of the league shows no interest in him, he could play in Canada. The Montreal Alouettes, a franchise in the Canadian Football League, hold the exclusive right to negotiate with Tebow if he decides to play in the CFL.
But Jim Popp, the Aloutettes' general manager, said in a phone interview that he has had no discussions with Tebow or his agents about coming to the CFL and "had no interest" in reaching out to them.
He also said that Tebow wouldn't even be the Alouettes' starting quarterback. Montreal's starter, Anthony Calvillo, is the league's career leader in passing yardage, completions and touchdown passes.
"The door's open if he wants to come," Popp said of Tebow. "It obviously wouldn't be for a lot of money. It would be a backup role like he's been doing, and it would be to get prepared for the future. But there's no sense in having those discussions unless he determines, 'Yeah, I want to go to Canada.'"
Mickey Marotti, the strength coach at Ohio State and one of Tebow's closest friends, said that he had sent him a text message of support Monday morning. As of the afternoon, though, Tebow hadn't responded.
"I feel bad for him, but he'll bounce back like a champion, like he is," Marotti said. "I know he'll do everything in his power to get on the field.
"He's a football player," Marotti continued. "He's a football player. Some team with great insight will pick him up—at least, I hope they do—and put him on their squad, and he'll give that team everything he has to offer: work ethic, leadership. He's a football player. He'll give them something."

Results suggest that PORT has a detrimental effect on NSCLCa patients. However, there is a very high proportion of patients with stage I - II disease, in which it has been shown that PORT can actually cause more toxicity than benefit. Including these patients, in whom we have extensive knowledge of the poor outcome with PORT, may bias the results in favor of no PORT. Of the patients included in this trial, only those with mediastinal disease (N2) were likely to have benefited from PORT. In fact, PORT did improve the distant and local recurrence and cancer related death rates in the N2 patients. This did not manifest itself in an improvement in survival because of the high 5-year intercurrent death rate with PORT (31% mostly treatment related). This may be associated with suboptimal radiotherapy technique as described in the article.This trial supports no PORT for completely resected NSCLCa. However, certain subsets of these patients may benefit. Whether PDRT may improve outcome for stage IIIA (N2 disease) or IIIB (T4 or N3 disease) patients who are completely resected remains a question. There have been subgroup analyses and retrospective reports supporting this.

I asked three people to list the items that they think are most important for something.
Item "aaa111" Item "bbb222" Item "bbb222"
Item "bbb222" Item "eee555" Item "ccc333"
Item "ccc333" Item "fff666" Item "ggg777"
Item "ddd444"
Since some items appear on more than one person's list, those items are obviously the most important ones, so I have compiled this list, which puts the item most frequently named on top, the next-most-frequently named second, and so forth:
Item "bbb222"
Item "ccc333"
Item "aaa111"
Item "ddd444"
Item "eee555"
Item "fff666"
Item "ggg777"
I want to head this list with a caption of the form Combined list in the order of __.
My question: Is there a single word I can use in that blank to name my ordering principle?

After graduating from the University of Colorado Boulder in 2010, Natalie Ziemba joined the Peace Corps and served in a rural village in Samoa, an island in the South Pacific Ocean.
The two-year experience was equal parts challenging and rewarding while she taught English and reading to enthusiastic fourth through eighth-grade students.
As the only Peace Corps volunteer in her village, Ziemba quickly realized she would need to relearn everything about her lifestyle which included speaking a new language, trying exotic foods and mastering the island's bus schedules. But she wasn't alone. The A'ufaga village welcomed her, especially her neighbors who introduced her to their culture by warmly opening their homes and sharing their stories with her.
"The Peace Corps was such an amazing opportunity," Ziemba said. "I got to do something brand new compared to my experience in the U.S."
The two years went by quickly as Ziemba settled into her routine, connecting with her students through her lessons and by singing songs together. On the weekends, she met with other Peace Corps volunteers on the island, three of whom attended CU.
When Ziemba's service was completed it was difficult for her to say goodbye to those she had grown to love, but she promised to return someday.
Upon returning to the U.S., Ziemba retained her lifestyle of service and became an intern at the Denver Rescue Mission. She intends to attend graduate school to get her master's degree in social work and plans to work with women affected by violence in America and possibly overseas. No matter her career path, she knows her Peace Corps experience will remain with her.
"I think everyone needs to go and live overseas," she said. "It gives you a different perspective to incorporate into your daily life."

I could, for example calculate the electric field near a charged rod of infinite length using the classic definition of the electric field, and integrating the: $$ \overrightarrow{dE} = \frac{dq}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0r^2}\overrightarrow{a_r}$$ Right? So, why in some cases that it's possible to also use this method, do we choose Gauss' law. And moreover, from which criterion do we judge to solve with either way? I am aware of the requirements to use Gauss' law but I stil haven't understood what are the patterns I should notice that would direct me to use Gauss' law to solve a problem.
Gauss's law is always true (that is, numerically), but it's not always useful for calculating electric fields. It's only useful for calculating a charge distribution's electric field when certain symmetries (e.g. cylindrical, spherical, or planar) are present that allow the surface integral to be done very simply. It is not useful for calculating electric fields when these symmetries are not present in a problem.
In order to use Gauss Law, the electric field must be constant on the surface of integration (often a sphere). If so, E can be taken out of the surface integral.

I wish to simulate an implementation of a DES Cracker using verilog. But every paper I read give only abstract hints but no concrete steps or how really to go about it. How is it usually done? For example for DES encryption there exists a sequence of steps with ordered connection of known blocks.
A DES cracker just tries out keys until a matching key is found.
So, with Verilog, you design a circuit which includes:
The outer system (say, the PC which controls the experiment) just has to measure the exact time at which the flag is raised, to infer the counter value at that time -- depending on the precision of the measure, this will narrow down the set of possible keys down to a few millions at most, and the PC can finish the work in a fraction of a second.
Of course, there are $2^{56}$ possible DES keys, which is a quite huge number. A complete DES cracking engine will include many copies of the DES encryption and ciphertext comparison engines, each engine exploring a given fraction of the set of possible keys (to some extent, counters may be shared).
If you read French, my PhD thesis contains a description of a DES-cracking engine with FPGA.
A great deal here depends on what sort of attack you want to mount. If you have a known-plaintext, then Thomas's answer is covers the majority of the problem. Nearly all you need to add is an actual DES core.
If, however, you don't have a known plaintext, you need to add some statistical analysis of the result to figure out whether you've succeeded. In a typical case (e.g., Deep Crack) this is handled in two parts: one does a simplistic but fast analysis to basically see if the result looks like it might be non-random at all. If that produces a positive result, you pass that result to a control processor that can do a much more thorough analysis to see if it looks like real plain text.
The obvious place to look for details about that would be Cracking DES.

excellent investment
By Mike
from Newnan Ga.
we use the vaccuum daily to clean up small debris that accumulates over nite. It takes about 10 mins. to do our 16x32 inground pool. What a relief not having to hook up hoses, priming etc. the machine is light weight easy to clean and small enough to store just about anywhere between uses. My wife can even clean the pool now! Haven't found and con's to date.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Works Better Than Expected
By Tom
from Ontario, Canada
I'm very happy with this product. Save a huge amount to time cleaning the pool.

from Rochester, PA
I have an old inground pool with no bottom drain. It is a pain to hook up the hose to sweep the everyday dirt, leaves, sand etc. I purchased the Pool Blaster Max and it is phenomenal. Easy to use and it picks up everything that I stated above. This has made my pool even more enjoyable to share with family and friends.

Potentially good for touch ups
By Pool Boy
from Cape Cod
The product looked well made but simply too small for our pool needs (we make bigger messes). It looks quite helpful for small cleaning jobs.

Not food for fine particles
By Old man Don
from Chestertown, MD
Price was not a factor.After charging it worked well on large particles but not on silt. There was no way to attach the micro filter to pick up the silt, which was what I had in my pool. Instructions need to be greatly enlarged and written by someone who actually used the product. Sincerely, Don Whomsley
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Not enough suction or power
By tony
from martinez,ca
tried to clean a small pond in my front yard and it took over a hour. there is not enough suction power to pick up large or small objects (leaves). I could not imagine cleaning a large pool. The opening is too small so it gets blocked/filter bags are also small. for the price it would be cheaper to hire someone to come out and clean it for me!

Loved this product
By fun in the sun
from indiana
We have an above ground pool & we are extremely happy with this vacuum. You don't have to hook up all the hoses and switch the pump through all the cleaning stages. Have passed this along to our friends that have pools also.
small but powerful
By Chuck
from Sulphur Springs, TX
It really does a good job when you need a quick clean up of your pool. Picks up most leaves and debri. The sand/silt bag is needed for complete cleaning. No hoses to mess with...a big plus for me.

ExtJS 4.0.7 to 4.1.0 Conversion
Now that 4.1 is released, we're upgrading all of our applications from 4.0.7. I'll keep track of things I notice here, and eventually include our compatibility layer.
- isVisible(): returns false if the component is not rendered. Did not take that into consideration in 4.0.7. Affects menu items that have show() or hide() called before the menu is shown.
- get(): If you are manually setting a component's el, you will need to update Ext.cache with the new dom for that element. Otherwise it will pull the original el.dom based on the id.
- groupHeaderTpl: The parameter parent passed in by the XTemplate is just an empty object. Use values instead. (EXTJSIV-6050)
- collapse() and expand(): When used with a locking grid, this component needs to be created through the ftype rather than Ext.create(). (Bug)
- floatParent and ownerCt: these properties no longer exists. It is now ownerButton.

So far I am seeing postional changes.
Margins and padding settings need to be redone. In particular Fieldset elements that contain other objects like form fields seem most effected.

I have 8.0-RELEASE-p4 + few ports installed. I wonder wheather I should update to 8.1.
- How long is 8.0 supported?
- How to update the system? I couldn't find anything about it in handbook.
SOLUTION (based on gvkv answer): I take the liberty of describing all steps I've done at the end:

I am 19 years old and I find myself in a good relationship.
However, I have noticed that ever since I got my girlfriend, I don't wake up before 6 anymore. I don't study 8 hours a day anymore. I don't exercice everyday anymore.
I keep telling myself that she takes up a lot of time that I would otherwise have spent on work.
How can I tell the difference between my own excuses and my girlfriend taking up (too) much time? Is there anything I can do to get back on track without "getting rid of her"?

MANHATTAN, Kan. (WIBW) -- Riley County police say a 73-year-old Manhattan man fell victim to a lottery scam and lost $40,000 in the process.
Police say the scammers claimed thousands of dollars from the victim over a span of six months, starting in November of 2012.
According to Officer Matt Droge with the Riley County Police Department, the suspect or suspects stated that they had a prize for him that required some sort of a payment in order for him to claim it.
"Unfortunately, there was no prize and an unknown suspect(s) were able to collect that money from him through the mail," Droge told WIBW.
"I would like to remind the community to be vigilant in protecting their information, property and money from scams. I would suggest looking into prizes or offers that one may receive (that often seem too good to be true) and not being afraid to ask questions. It is also not a bad idea to watch out for family and friends who may fall victim and do what you can to help prevent the crime, by being informed. If you feel you have become a victim of a scam, please contact your local law enforcement agency," Officer Droge added.
The RCPD is investigating the case as a theft.

6 Landmarks That Are Secretly Awesome Transformers
It's not unusual to have a second job on the side -- Steve Buscemi does a little firefighting, Roger Ebert used to write softcore porn, and famous singer Bruce Willis sometimes acts in movies. And in the case of some famous buildings and places, sometimes they like being boring old landmarks everyone knows pretty well, and occasionally they transform into badass secret identities that make them look like Optimus Prime's cooler older brothers. For instance, did you know that ...
#6. The Empire State Building Is Also a Blimp Docking Station
Daniel Kourey/Photos.com
The Mundane Landmark:
If you've never been inside the Empire State Building, let us save you like 30 bucks: It's a regular office building. Yeah, the view is kinda cool from up there, but you spend most of the time looking at normal building interiors as you wait in line. You're paying to relive the experience of going to the bank, except no one hands you money at the end.
Bobby Mikul/ PublicDomainPictures.net
Unless you bring a knife, and that's frowned upon.
But It's Also ...
The Empire State Building was designed with a more exciting purpose in mind, though: as a docking station for passing airships. As in the blimps would park there and passengers would go down a gangplank and be on the street in seven minutes.
Metropolitan Museum of Art
Or six seconds, if you piss off the stewardess.
The above is a composite photo created in the 1930s to convey this totally sound and practical idea. In fact, this is the official purpose for that thing at the top: The Empire State Building's famous spire was built as a mooring mast for zeppelins, and the 103rd floor was to serve as the landing platform. So in addition to being the tallest man-made structure in the world at the time, it was supposed to double as a supervillain lair. The leader of the investors, Alfred E. Smith, who may or may not have read too many Buck Rogers pulps, envisioned the building as a looming blimp station in the middle of New York City. This one's real:
NY Times
"We'll also add a charging station up there for the blimp's death rays and robo-servants."
Oh, and it probably helped that those extra 200 feet conveniently made the Empire State Building taller than its closest competitor, the Chrysler Building. However, the grand idea only went as far as two test dockings -- one of which managed a three-minute connection, and the other of which managed to haul a bundle of newspapers from blimp to building. It wasn't exactly enough to inspire a great deal of passenger confidence, and the idea was quietly abandoned ... although the functionality is still there, technically.
Come on, New York. What's the worst that could happen?
#5. The Eiffel Tower Is Also an Awesome Science Lab
The Mundane Landmark:
The Eiffel Tower was built for the Paris Expo of 1889 basically to show off. It really doesn't serve much of a purpose besides letting tourists take pictures where they pretend to be crushing it with their fingers and providing a living for millions of key chain vendors.
And making the rest of Paris feel inadequate.
But It's Also ...
The tower's builder, Gustave Eiffel, was an engineer and a scientist, so he justified the big lump of metal's existence by turning it into a giant science laboratory. At the top of the tower, there's a private apartment where Eiffel conducted his experiments. He even invited Thomas Edison to hang out there and science with him.
One presumes they smoked science blunts and snorted cocaine off the buttocks of science-strippers.
So this was another dumb tourist trap by day, and an awesome laboratory by night (and also day). Not all the experiments carried out there were a success -- one dude jumped to prove he could fly (he couldn't) -- but Eiffel himself used the tower in studies in astronomy, radio, meteorology, and most significantly the new field of aerodynamics, which he pioneered by dropping shit from his tower and seeing how long it took to get to the ground. It was, after all, his fucking tower, and he could do whatever he wanted with it.
Félix Nadar/Wikimedia
"Hey, darling, we're going to need a sofa. And a table. And a cat."
It was the tower's secret identity as a badass expander of scientific knowledge that ultimately saved it from being torn down when Eiffel's 20-year lease ran out, as was originally the plan. Its height was perfect for radio transmissions, and in 1905 an antenna was installed, which proved ideal for military communications when World War I broke out. So the tower wasn't just a scientist, but also a war hero. And a radio star: After the war, France's first station was installed there.
Eiffel died in 1923, marking the end of the tower's days of scientific experimentation, but the apartment/laboratory is still preserved and Eiffel's ghost presumably still roams there, encouraging jumpers to see how long they take to reach the ground.
#4. The London Underground Is Also a Secret War Factory
The Mundane Landmark:
The London Underground is the oldest metro system in the world, and ... that's about the most interesting thing you could say about it. It's where people go to stand still and watch their lives pass by in tedium if they're lucky, or get peed on by hobos if they're not.
Tom Page/Wikimedia
Rush hour in London's dental district.
But It's Also ...
When World War II hit England, everyone was called to do their part in the war effort -- even massive inanimate structures. Well, one massive inanimate structure. The London Underground's Central Line was being extended at the time, so they took the opportunity to transform it into a secret underground wartime factory. Add a vat of acid and some guy with steel teeth, and it would look exactly like the headquarters of a James Bond villain.
London Transport Museum
The only downside was that the entire workplace would collapse at the push of a button.
While some people were commuting to work, others were quietly assembling components for fighter and bomber planes in the longest, narrowest factory ever. The previous factory had been bombed to shit by the Germans, so the decision was made to hide the next one really, really well. The distance from the surface is somewhat exaggerated here, but try to tell us that the following diagram doesn't look like something you'd find drawn on the box of an '80s G.I. Joe action figure playset. You can't.
Phil Courtney/Plessey UK
Really? Not a single dinosaur fossil or pirate treasure?
It took almost two years and the equivalent of around $13 million to turn a mild-mannered tube system into a badass factory of death, but it worked. Four thousand people worked there, and it even had its own miniature railway to carry stock or the occasional VIP.
Obviously, they're not making war aircraft in a secret section of the subway anymore (at least not officially), but parts of the factory still remain down there. The most visible remnant is an old lift tower, which is now used as a ventilation shaft, and even today all the old pipes, cables, and concrete used in the wartime factory still hinder renovations of the stations. We also bet they've found at least one Nazi drill tank that was sent to find the factory and ran out of fuel.

Pork Tenderloins with Apple-Raisin Stuffing
Categories: Christmas, Low-calorie, New Year's
Type: Main Dishes
Type: Main Dishes
Apples, raisins, and rosemary produce a sweet stuffing that complements pork tenderloins based in Dijon sauce.
Serves: 8 servings
- 2 pork tenderloins, 1 pound each
- 6 slices firm multigrain or oatmeal bread
- 3/4 cup chopped peeled tart apple (about 1 medium)
- 1/4 cup dark raisins
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/4 cup finely chopped celery (include the leaves)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons frozen (thawed) apple juice concentrate
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
Save Recipe
Add to shopping list
- To make the stuffing, place 3 of the bread slices in a blender or food processor, and process into coarse crumbs. There should be 2 1/4 cups. Cut the remaining bread slices into 1/2-inch cubes. There should be 2 1/2 cups.
- Place the bread crumbs, bread cubes, apple, raisins, onion, celery, and rosemary in a large bowl, and toss to mix well. Tossing gently, slowly add enough broth to make a moist, but not wet, stuffing that holds together. Set aside.
- Place all of the basting sauce ingredients in a small bowl, and stir to mix well. Set aside.
- Trim the tenderloins of any visible fat and membranes. Rinse the meat with cool water, and pat it dry with paper towels.
- Split each of the tenderloins lengthwise, cutting not quite all the way through, so that each tenderloin can be spread open like a book. Spread half of the stuffing mixture over half of each tenderloin, extending the stuffing all the way to the outer edges of the meat. Fold the facing half of the tenderloin over the stuffing-spread half, and use heavy string to tie the meat together at 2 1/2-inch intervals.
- Coat a 9-x-13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray, and arrange the tenderloins in the pan, spacing them about 3 inches apart. Bake uncovered at 350°F, occasionally basting with the prepared sauce, for about 50 minutes, or until the meat is no longer pink inside.
- Remove the pan from the oven, cover loosely with aluminum foil, and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing 1/2-inch thick. Serve hot.

ROME (CNN) -- Former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has survived political, corruption and sex scandals over the years, but on Friday, a Milan court sentenced the flamboyant politician to four years in prison for tax evasion.
Berlusconi, who is likely to appeal, called it an "unacceptable political sentence" in a recent interview.
His trial, which also involved executives from Berlusconi's Mediaset television group and the head of a Swiss bank, concerned the purchase of TV rights for films that were then resold within the group at inflated prices.
Prosecutors said the scheme, involving about 3,000 American films, allowed those involved to avoid a major tax bill. They may have to pay a fine of up to 10 million euros ($12.9 million) if the court's ruling is upheld.
Under the Italian legal system, Berlusconi and his fellow defendants have the right to appeal their sentence twice, in the appeals court and a higher court. Also, because the case dates back to July 2006, the statute of limitations will expire next year, meaning there is a good chance none of the defendants will serve any prison time.
Berlusconi, 76, resigned as prime minister in November amid his country's debt crisis, bringing to an apparent end an 18-year era in which he dominated Italian politics. Through the years, he was accused of embezzlement, fraud and bribery, but he was never convicted until the tax evasion case .
He also faces trial on charges that he hired an underage prostitute and later tried to pull strings to get her out of jail when she was accused of theft. The woman involved in the long-running case is the Moroccan dancer Karima el Mahroug, nicknamed "Ruby the Heart-stealer."
American movie star George Clooney had been expected to appear Friday as a defense witness in that case but did not show up. The actor's representative said he would not now be serving as a witness for Berlusconi.
