San Jose is the Perfect Place to Host an Exchange Student and Here's Why
Jun 17, 2019 11:32:11 PM
Do you live in San Jose? Do you have a spare bedroom in your home? Do you want to host an exchange student?
In 2017-18 a record 1.1 million foreign exchange students chose to live and study in the United States, making it the most popular study abroad destination in the world.
San Jose is the heartbeat of California's high-tech hub Silicon Valley. Outsiders may consider San Francisco synonymous with Silicon Valley, but locals know that (with the big three of Google, Apple, and Facebook) the epicenter is San Jose.
Look beyond the tech culture of Silicon Valley, and San Jose is a vibrant city of close-knit neighborhoods, enriching cultural scenes, beautiful nature escapes, and an abundance of delicious food.
San Jose is a cool, innovative city full of opportunities and high-quality living. It's also the fastest growing economy in the U.S., is home to some outstanding schools, and provides a fantastic experience of American life for international students.
San Jose is the perfect city to host an exchange student and in this article, we're going to explain why it's unique, and how you can provide a home for an international student.
What is an Exchange Student Host Family?
Thanks to the record number of international students choosing to head over to the U.S., American families are hosting more international students than any other country.
If a household (which can be anything from a single adult to a family of 10!) has a spare bedroom, and a desire to experience something new, they could be ready to host an exchange student.
The benefits you can gain from hosting an international student can be many and may surprise you. Here are just a few of the benefits American households across the country are enjoying:
Extra monthly household income (which can be up to $1400/mo)
Deep friendships which last for a lifetime
Showcasing and sharing the best sights, culture, and experiences America has to offer
Learning about a new country (that they may not have expected)
Hosting a foreign exchange student can leave a lasting impression on your family, and more families across the U.S. are discovering the perks of opening their homes and lives.
If you want to learn more about hosting an exchange student in detail - we have created a 'Complete Guide to Hosting a Foreign Exchange Student'. It has everything you need to know.
What Makes San Jose Great?
Lying 50 miles south of San Francisco, the flourishing center of tech is the 3rd largest city in California. Home to a highly ambitious and highly educated population that basks in year-round warmth and sunshine, San Jose has its own unique charm, attractions, and reasons to study abroad.
Highly-Reputable School's and College's
When it comes to higher education, the California network of schools and colleges carries an excellent reputation nationally and internationally. San Jose sits in one of the most populous and affluent counties in the U.S., Santa Clara.
Even within the United States, when families choose to move to the Bay Area, one of the reasons is the exceptional schooling it offers for their children. There are over 1500 high schools in California, and some of the most highly regarded are located right here in Santa Clara:
High School Number of Students Avg. SAT Score
Los Altos High School 2,088 1340
Valley Christian School 686 1240
The King's Academy 955 1340
Moreau Catholic High School 851 1210
The Quarry Lane School 700 1370
The San Jose region is also home to some of the most reputable universities in California.
One of the most prestigious universities in California, Stanford University has become a breeding ground for students who aim to think big. Stanford has crafted the perfect balance between relaxed Californian attitudes (t-shirts, shorts, and flip-flops are the norm), a vibrant social life, and educational success, where lucrative internships and exciting company partnerships await its many ambitious students.
The interdisciplinary programs linking departments help students to work together, see a different perspective and discover new ideas, making it an ideal environment for exchange students.
Santa Clara University was ranked the best Regional University West for 2019. Located in Silicon Valley, it's known for its excellent Center of Performing Arts, Leavey School of Business, and School of Law.
A bustling university, there are more than 100 student organizations on campus. The athletics facilities and teams have given Santa Clara a national reputation for excellence.
San Jose State University is the oldest public university on the west coast. With the tagline 'Powering Silicon Valley' more San Jose State alumni are hired by Silicon Valley than any other university. Outside of tech, San Jose State offers nearly 150 undergraduate majors for students to choose from.
We've already mentioned a couple of times that San Jose is the epicenter for technology companies in the U.S. All the major players (Google, Apple, Facebook, etc) have their company headquarters here in Silicon Valley.
There are several tour companies which will take people around each of the headquarters. You can even visit Los Altos, the childhood home of Steve Jobs, where the first Apple computer was built in the garage.
The Tech Museum of Innovation in downtown San Jose is a fun, hands-on day out. It includes experiential learning exhibits such as Body Worlds Decoded, Cyber Detectives, Reboot Reality, and many more engaging experiences.
San Jose boasts a beautiful network of 60 miles of trails (walking, hiking, and biking) along with 285 miles of bike paths on the roads. It's been commended as one of the healthiest cities in the U.S., and a leader in green commuting.
There are dozens of large outdoor spaces and parks providing peaceful escapes and activities for everybody. The Municipal Rose Garden is a 5.5-acre garden with over 4000 rose shrubs. Castle Rock State Park provides horseback riding, rock climbing, and more across a spectacular 5242 acres. The 740-acre Alum Rock Park is uniquely located within a canyon in the foothills of the Diablo Mountain Range.
Creative Vibrance
San Jose is home to a vibrant and emerging art scene. The San Jose Museum of Art displays around 2500 modern and contemporary pieces of artwork.
In Downtown San Jose's SoFA district you'll find an array of art galleries, independent cafes, and boutiques with local artists performing or displaying their work. It also hosts a monthly South First Fridays Art Walk allowing artists and locals to mingle.
The Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum and Planetarium houses the largest collection of Egyptian artifacts in Western North America. The museum is heavily influenced by Egyptian architecture and the park is the only one of its kind. Consider it a must-see.
I Want to Host a Foreign Exchange Student
Choosing to host an exchange student is an exciting decision that can bring you and your family lifelong memories. One of the biggest decisions you'll make is how long you want to host a student for.
You may want to host a foreign exchange student short-term. In this case, Summer/Winter camp programs may be perfect. For longer term hosting, students studying for a semester or entire academic year may be ideal for you.
Some common questions you may want to consider are:
Which type of student do I want to host?
Is my family ready to host?
Is my home ready?
Do I want to host a male or female student?
We want to make the hosting process as smooth and seamless as possible from step one. To help you understand and prepare for the hosting process, we have prepared this 'Complete Guide to Hosting a Foreign Exchange Student'. You'll find all the essential information you need there.

» Titanium Dioxide contains not less than 99.0 percent and not more than 100.5 percent of TiO2, calculated on the dried basis. If labeled as attenuation grade, then Titanium Dioxide contains not less than 99.0 percent and not more than 100.5 percent of TiO2, calculated on the ignited basis. Attenuation grade material may contain suitable coatings, stabilizers, and treatments to assist formulation.
note—If labeled as attenuation grade, then all tests and assays are conducted on uncoated, untreated material. For UV attenuation grade, the test for Loss on drying does not apply. The FDA requires the content of lead to be not more than 10 ppm, that of antimony to be not more than 2 ppm, and that of mercury to be not more than 1 ppm (21 CFR 73.1575).
Labeling— If intended for UV-attenuation, the material must be labeled as attenuation grade. If intended for UV-attenuation, and any added coatings, stabilizers, or treatments are used, the labeling shall include the name and amount of the additives.
Identification— To 500 mg add 5 mL of sulfuric acid, and heat gently. After fumes of sulfur trioxide appear, continue heating for a minimum of 10 seconds. Cool the suspension, and cautiously dilute with water to 100 mL. Filter, and to 5 mL of the clear filtrate add a few drops of hydrogen peroxide TS: a yellow-red to orange-red color develops immediately.
Loss on ignition 733 — Ignite 2 g, previously dried and accurately weighed, at 800 ± 25 to constant weight: it loses not more than 0.5% of its weight. If labeled as attenuation grade, ignite 4 g of titanium dioxide, accurately weighed, at 800 ± 25 to constant weight: it loses not more than 13% of its weight.
Water-soluble substances— Suspend 4.0 g in 50 mL of water, mix, and allow to stand overnight. Transfer to a 200-mL volumetric flask, add 2 mL of ammonium chloride TS, and mix. If the Titanium Dioxide does not settle, add another 2-mL portion of ammonium chloride TS. Allow the suspension to settle, dilute with water to volume, mix, and filter through a double thickness of fine-porosity filter paper, discarding the first 10 mL of the filtrate. Collect 100 mL of the clear filtrate, transfer to a tared platinum dish, evaporate on a hot plate to dryness, and ignite at a dull red heat to constant weight: the residue weighs not more than 5 mg (0.25%).
Acid-soluble substances— Suspend 5.0 g in 100 mL of 0.5 N hydrochloric acid, and heat on a steam bath for 30 minutes, with occasional stirring. Filter through an appropriate filter medium until clear. Wash with three 10-mL portions of 0.5 N hydrochloric acid. Evaporate the combined filtrate and washings to dryness, and ignite at a dull red heat to constant weight: the residue weighs not more than 25 mg (0.5%).
Arsenic, Method I 211 — Prepare the Test Preparation as follows. Add 3.0 g to a 250-mL conical flask fitted with a thermometer and a vapor outlet. Add 50 mL of water, 500 mg of hydrazine sulfate, 500 mg of potassium bromide, 20 g of sodium chloride, and 25 mL of sulfuric acid. Arrange to collect the evolved vapors in 52 mL of water contained in the arsine generator flask, then heat the test specimen to 90 , and maintain the temperature at 90 to 100 for 15 minutes. Add 3 mL of hydrochloric acid to the solution in the generator flask: the resulting solution meets the requirements of the test, the addition of 20 mL of 7 N sulfuric acid specified for Procedure being omitted. The limit is 1 ppm.
Assay— Accurately weigh about 300 mg of Titanium Dioxide, transfer to a 250-mL beaker, and add 20 mL of sulfuric acid and 7 to 8 g of ammonium sulfate. Mix, heat on a hot plate until fumes of sulfur trioxide appear, and continue heating over a strong flame until solution is complete or it is apparent that the undissolved residue is siliceous matter. Cool, cautiously dilute with 100 mL of water, stir, heat carefully to boiling while stirring, and allow the insoluble matter to settle. Filter, transfer the entire residue to the filter, and wash thoroughly with cold 2 N sulfuric acid. Dilute the filtrate with water to 200 mL, and cautiously add about 10 mL of ammonium hydroxide.
Prepare a zinc amalgam column in a 25-cm Jones reductor tube, placing a pledget of glass wool in the bottom of the tube, and filling the constricted portion of the tube with zinc amalgam prepared as follows. Add 20- to 30-mesh zinc to mercuric chloride solution (1 in 50), using about 100 mL of the solution for each 100 g of zinc, and after about 10 minutes, decant the solution from the zinc, then wash the zinc by decantation. Wash the zinc amalgam column with 100-mL portions of 2 N sulfuric acid until 100 mL of the washing does not decolorize 1 drop of 0.1 N potassium permanganate.
Place 50 mL of ferric ammonium sulfate TS in a 1000-mL suction flask, and add 0.1 N potassium permanganate until a faint pink color persists for 5 minutes. Attach the Jones reductor tube to the neck of the flask, and pass 50 mL of 2 N sulfuric acid through the reductor at a rate of about 30 mL per minute. Pass the prepared titanium solution through the reductor at the same rate, and follow with 100 mL each of 2 N sulfuric acid and of water. During these operations, keep the reductor filled with solution or water above the upper level of the amalgam. Taking precautions against the admission of atmospheric oxygen, gradually release the suction, wash down the outlet tube of the reductor and the sides of the receiver, and titrate immediately with 0.1 N potassium permanganate VS. Perform a blank determination, substituting 200 mL of 2 N sulfuric acid for the assay solution, and make any necessary correction. Each mL of 0.1 N potassium permanganate is equivalent to 7.988 mg of TiO2.


Preparing for the defense was a lot of fun. First thing I did was reach out to as many people as I knew and asked them if they would like to participate as a mock panelist. Coordinating their availability was a bit tough but we were able to make it work.
Getting my PowerPoint slide deck ready was a bit frustrating at first because before this entire process I knew absolutely NOTHING about designing a slide deck. I spent a few days learning how to create an efficient deck that was also easy to navigate. The slide content is by far the most important part but configuring your slides to simplify navigation is the next most important thing. You want to be able to quickly move around your slides during your defense.
My first mock defense was a complete DISASTER to say the least! I basically dumped my entire design document into a complex century long slide deck. If there was a graphic in my design doc…it had it's own slide with some notes on it. Don't do that. I also had it in my mind that for every question asked during the defense I would have to reference a slide to support my answer. That's not true either.
So I had to go back and change my slide deck. Making modifications ended up being pretty easy because everything I already had was shifted to the back and became my supporting slides (aka Appendix Slides). I recreated my introduction slides (3-4 slides total) and then I created a single slide for each section of my design document. These were what I referred to as my "core" slides. The content of those slides was a LOGICAL representation of my design. That is all there is to it. Don't go off the deep end like I did.
My second defense with my new slide deck was literally night and day. Luckily one of my panelists during my mock disaster was also a panelist for my second attempt. When all was said and done I felt like did a complete 180 compared to my first mock. I was back on track and started gaining confidence. Next I wanted to gain even more confidence and work on talking SLOWWWWWER! I tend to rush my words sometimes but I also attributed my rushing because I'm staring at a clock ticking down the entire time. So I had to back off the gas pedal a bit. Nerves are all over the place so I didn't even realize I was doing it at first. Once I gained more confidence during my mock presentations I felt more comfortable. Being able to steer the conversation is very important. So remember that during your mock defenses.
I ended up going through a total of 8 mock defense sessions. The more you practice the better off you are. My recommendation would be to do as many as possible. Once I felt comfortable I stopped doing mock defenses because being over-prepared is a possibility and it can cause you to shoot yourself in the foot. So get to a comfort level and stop. I would practice on my own every few days with my PowerPoint slide clicker. My goal there was to remain sharp with navigating through my entire slide deck.
I also attempted to do a mock design scenario. Like my first mock defense the first mock design scenario was a DISASTER! I think I stopped after less than 5 minutes of trying to get information from my panelists. The problem was with my approach. In my mind I felt like I had to do everything possible to get design requirements from my panelists and I didn't have to do so.
I have to admit. I was somewhat panicked for a moment here because I needed to succeed here and I felt completely LOST for a moment and my defense was less than a week away. My mental approach had to change.
Things snapped back very quickly and it hit me like an epiphany like not even an hour after my disaster mock. My approach to this part of the defense was going to be very simple. I was going to relate the info on those slides to what I do at work on a daily basis. I receive emails from sales reps containing content similar to these slides ALL THE TIME! I end up on a customer conference call and roll with it and start asking questions based on the info I have at hand.
I didn't do another mock design scenario again after this. I didn't need to. I had another 3 days of work before leaving for Palo Alto so I had all the practice I needed. Relating the scenario to what I do daily was one of the easiest transitions that I had to make and it paid off in the end. I was going to simply treat the information on the slides as if I were simply reading another email from a sales rep.
Of course I come from the VAR side of the world. So I used that to my advantage. If you are coming from the customer side of the world don't sweat it. Find a way to use that point of view to your advantage to help you prepare.

Facebook's in-app games capabilities have come a long way from "hidden" basketball and chess. Now, its Instant Games platform is expanding upwards and outwards.
The in-app game platform, which allows users to play single-player and multiplayer games through Facebook and Messenger, will soon be available directly through the site's massively-popular Groups feature and the Facebook Lite mobile app. It's also added more features for developers, most notably monetization options.
Functionality in Groups will first roll out to a specific set of groups, specifically those dedicated to gaming. Those users can launch and play Instant Games with other members from within the page. The team points to the popularity of the subject on the site, with over 270,000 groups in its gaming category engaged with by 90 million people.
If it goes well, Facebook looks to expand into other Groups categories.
"Instant Games provides a natural way for people in groups to easily play together and deepen engagement over shared interests, and we're excited to see how communities form and come together over Instant Games," Facebook said in a press release.
Mobile-first users across the globe will also be able to play soon via the Facebook Lite app, which is aimed towards users with 2G connections or those who want a smaller app size. Facebook Lite will be adding a direct link to the app itself, as well as improving how games download and update on mobile, making Instant Games available to lesser-served but nevertheless mobile-savvy regions.
On the developer side, Facebook announced that developers can now monetize through advertisements and in-app purchases. It also announced that it'll be tweaking the Games page, focusing on improving games' discoverability.
It's likely a welcome set of news for those looking to make Instant Games users a primary audience after the platformed opened up to third-party developers this past March.
Combined with the Facebook Lite launch, the monetization changes now make Instant Games a new serious platform and competitor in the mobile game market.
These are major plays for Facebook's quickly-growing division. The company shared in the press release that Instant Games held 1.7 billion play sessions in just the past month alone, and their daily player base has gone up 25% from June to September.
Facebook points to the ease and accessibility of HTML5 as part of the foundation for its success, especially now that Instant Games has grown to serve mobile users.


We have decades of experience in project managing both types. We ensure that UK tax inspectors are not excessive with their penalties nor too aggressive in their investigations.
A recent client story. A tax inspector sent a taxpayer a long list of questions and planned to remove most of her tax relief claims. This would have cost £10,000 or more in tax. We successfully defended her case with legal argument and by delivering full data to the inspector (but no more than was necessary).
Our objective is provide a pack which supports a taxpayer's tax returns, but without drifting into unrelated areas. Tax inspectors can request too much data, which is not always acceptable or relevant. We have the skills to negotiate here and reduce your exposure.
A UK tax inspector will announce that he will visit your business for one day's auditing. The company receives a list of information to be reviewed on that day. We have plenty of experience of dealing with such a visit. Frequently, companies are "clean" on most issues and simply need to demonstrate this.
If there are weaknesses in PAYE expat processes, it is better to declare these, and present them in the best light. For example, "this particular error was for one year only". Far better to negotiate following a voluntary disclosure, than to be found out and penalised for non-reporting.
Before an audit, we work with you to find possible weak links in your systems and correct them in good time. Pay the tax but minimise any penalties.

Ibogaine Treatment | Is it effective for treating addiction to opiates?
Is Ibogaine Treatment Effective for Opiate Addiction?
What's Ibogaine Treatment for People Struggling with Opiates?
Ibogaine treatment comes from the use of a psychoactive plant with dissociative and psychedelic properties found in plants from the Apocynacae family which is native to various regions of the world. Ibogaine effects various neurotransmitters in the brain. It's most potent as a serotonin reuptake inhibitor but also acts as a k-opioid receptor agonist. The atypical psychedelic effects are likely from it's effect on the kappa opioid receptors which is what also induces the Salvia trip. Ibogaine does have it's dangers which can lead to death. Anyone considering treatment should be well aware of these dangers prior to going into the experience. Ibogaine is commonly used to treat opiate addiction and can prevent an opiate withdrawal. The ibogaine success rate is baffling to say the least.
Before we jump into the ibogaine success rate for opiate withdrawal it should be noted that opiate addiction is primarily physical. This means when the addict ceases to use the substance they get extremely sick. They can get so sick they will do anything to obtain more opiates. A primarily psychological addiction is a different case where the addict uses because of a strong desire to use. They don't get sick from staying off the drug. Getting over the opiate withdrawal is a big part of the battle. For that ibogaine is extremely effective. However, it's not a cure for addiction from opiates. Not all people need a recovery program after ibogaine treatment but a majority do. A 2012 study showed 80 percent of people relapsed within 6 months of using ibogaine while 20 percent achieved long-term sobriety after a single ibogaine treatment. While these numbers don't seem in the addicts favor, the ibogaine success rate is far more than most drug rehab facilities can offer. Furthermore, of the people who relapsed after ibogaine, they were shown to take substantially less opiates than they did in their addiction.
What Does Ibogaine Feel Like?
The experience of ibogaine is subjective. Because of this, I invited someone heavily experienced with the substance to podcast on my YouTube channel. He shares in detail what the experience feels like and how it helped him to achieve long-term sobriety.

Raji: An Ancient Epic Indian Action Adventure Arrives Today
Fight demons from Indian Mythology in this story of epic proportions. Releases today on Nintendo Switch!
By Nikita Last updated Aug 18, 2020
During today's Indie World showcase by Nintendo, it was revealed that Raji: An Ancient Epic by Nodding Heads Games releases later today. It is an action adventure game that is set in Ancient India. What makes it unique is that it tells the story of a young Indian girl named Raji who takes on various demons as they invade the human realm. She has been chosen by the Gods to fight off the demons. Her main mission, though, is to rescue her little brother and finally face the demon Mahabalasura. While she is at it, she has to save the entire human race from extinction too. That's a lot of pressure. Will she emerge victorious in the end? Play and find out!
From the gameplay bits that were shown in the video, it is evident that it has an influence of Prince of Persia with its wall-running elements. It looks like an epic tale waiting to unfold as the fearless Raji gets access to various divine weapons and powers. As it was mentioned in the video, the game takes inspiration from Indian culture as well as mythology. It brings forth the diversity that India has to offer and honestly, it's a breath of fresh air. Players will get to experience something different in Raji: An Ancient Epic since Hindu Mythology is a territory not many developers have ventured into. It will be absolutely wonderful to see how this little but powerful girl faces off with various demons.
The art style is based on Indian paintings and the architecture is styled on Rajasthan's structures, the combination that this game offers is nothing like anything we have seen before. If you want to try this game out, it releases today as a timed console exclusive on Nintendo Switch. You can get it from the eshop and it will also release for PC, PS4 and Xbox One soon.

Q: Set of numbers divisible by both 2 and 3? I have two sets of numbers:
$$\ A = \{n \in \Bbb{N}\;| \; n=2m \;\mathrm{where} \;   m \in \Bbb{N}\}$$
$$\ B = \{n \in \Bbb{N}\;  |\;  n=3m \;\mathrm{where} \;  m \in  \Bbb{N}\}$$
I am looking for the set of numbers in the union $\ A\cup B$. I can see that this set of numbers must be divisible by either 2, 3 or both. How can I form a general expression for this?

A: $$A \cup B =  \{n \in \Bbb{N}\;| (n = 2m \vee n = 3m) ~\text{where}~m \in \Bbb{N} \}$$

There's a New World Record for the Smallest Mobile Night Club
Club 28 recently broke the Guinness World Record for the world's smallest nightclub.
Melody Siganporia
We can't all do great things, but what we can do is try to do the little things in a great way!
And well, that's exactly what these two Brits by the names of Gerard Jenkins-Omar and Stephen Robson did! Last fall, they set up the Guinness certified 'Smallest mobile night club' in the world at the Rotherham Carnival in South Yorkshire, England. In all it's glory, the venue was 6 ft. 7 in. high, 3 ft. wide and 5 ft. deep with the capacity to accommodate 6 party goers (at a squeeze) and the DJ at a given point of time.
Created out of a second hand shed small enough to break the previous record, Club 28 was born with the assistance of a handyman from the carnival.
At the whooping entry cost of 50 pence or $0.60, yYou move in through the door and past the bouncer (Yes! You read that right) for a complete experience with a full fledged sound system, 2 turntables, a microphone, a disco ball of course and dynamic lights to set the mood right. To keep the grooves going, they had Sam Cawley (aka DJ Sam Hudson) a house DJ, along with Rotherham local, Dangerous Nile. Patrons danced to a mix of old school house music and current hits by the likes of Kygo for what Jenkins-Omar says was an "all around disco feel... with a feel-good upbeat tempo."
Explaining the reason and thought behind Club 28, Jenkins-Omar wrote in their title application to the Guinness World Records:
"We decided to break the record as part of bringing something fun and different to Rotherham. The town has suffered from a lot of negativity in recent years so we are actively looking at ways to improve the 'good feeling' in the area and improve arts and culture whilst engaging local people."
Jenkins-Omar also credited his mom for being the inspiration behind the attempt, as she used to – and still does! – buy him the Guinness Book of Records every single year since he was a child!
Since the record attempt, the exterior of what Jenkins-Omar calls a 'revamped musical shed', has been redesigned by street artist Marcus Method for a more trippy, arty look!
So, now you know where to head to make sure your next party is the hit you've always wanted it to be - www.worldssmallestnightclub.com!
Good things sure could come in small packages eh?

New Eric Prydz music in all shapes and forms can only mean good news! And here comes some new Cirez D!


After corresponding for over a year by e-mail, I was finally going to meet my two German friends and introduce them to the fine art of hopping freights. Bernd (whose road name became "wuschel" because of his ruffled, disheveled appearance) and Herbert (who was dubbed "mops" because of his resemblance to a small, chubby dog) were to arrive in Dunsmuir on Amtrak #14, the northbound Coast Starlight. This was all well and good, but it meant a 3:30 am wakeup for me, because the train was "due" to arrive in Dunsmuir a little after 5:00 am. Owing to some outright miracle, the train pulled in at 5:15 am (!) and the adventure began.
Herbert spoke almost no English, so Bernd and I presented him with a convoluted version of "Freighthopping 101" while we waited until 6:00 am for the Mini-Mart to open. In my haste to get out of the house at "0-dark-30" I neglected to bring any food, so I bought some cheese and rolls while the Germans stocked up on beer (as per my suggestion). With the sky still showing a few stars we piled into my truck and drove down to the lower end of the freightyard, where they hung out with all the gear and I drove back into town, parked my truck near the depot and walked back to our "camp" in the yard.
As luck would have it, a northbound train pulled into the yard on my way back and stopped on the siding just as I made it back to our gear, so we merely walked about 20 cars up, found a nice boxcar and climbed in. It was now about 7:30 am, and for the next hour and a half we constructed a "day room" in the front end of the boxcar with an amazingly complete set of "supplies" left there by the previous consignee - several dozen 2x4's, 1'x8' sheets of ¼" plywood with paper faces and 3 large pieces of cardboard that I brought along, topped off with our own assorted foam pads. The beer and wine was brought out and we "toasted" our new abode. A little after 9:00 am the second of two southbounds passed us on the main and we pulled out of town.
A beautiful fall morning began with a leisurely climb up the canyon north of town. An hour later we stopped at Black Butte to make what was supposed to be a one car pickup but turned into an hour or so of banging cars around trying to find our "one car". By now it was pleasantly warm and we had a great ride around the side of Mt. Shasta and up to Klamath Falls, where we made a 2 minute crew change on the main and continued on our way north at 4:00 pm.
The ride along Upper Klamath Lake and past Chiloquin was nice but that straight stretch up to Chemult was as boring as ever, even though the alcohol flowed freely. We crested Cascade Summit just as the sun set below a distant cloud bank but managed to stay awake until darkness set in around Fields. Thanks to a smooth riding car we enjoyed a deep and restful sleep until we came into the east side of Eugene just before midnight. Not wanting to subject the Germans to a forced dismount at speed, we stayed on until the train slowed to a crawl as it entered the yard, where we uneventfully bailed out and began to walk back to "motel row" on the east side of town.
We soon realized that we couldn't have picked a worse night to try and get a motel room, especially at 1:00 am - the University of Oregon had just finished beating USC 31-30 after triple overtime and, believe it or not, there was some sort of Fraternity/Sorority convention going on (whatever that amounts to, but it did sound like fun). The first motel we hit had "no vacancy", the next one had been booked solid for three weeks, the one across the street had "no vacancy" and so on and so forth. We made several phone calls to others with no luck, and as we were mentally preparing ourselves to head for the nearest loading dock to sack out I saw a distant motel sign that still had "vacancy" on it. We staggered over to it just ahead of several other groups with similar intent but found that the only reason it wasn't sold out was due to a no-show who reserved a 3-room suite with kitchen for $195! This being a tad above our budget (considering it was now 1:30 am) I inquired if there was any space where we could roll out our sleeping bags. "How much money do you have?" the man intoned, barely lifting his eyes. After a moment's hesitation I answered "Seventy-five dollars" and was immediately shown what was to be our "home" for the next several hours.
Walking down a row of steps that led to a basement we found a large, windowless room with one bed but plenty of extra space to lay out two sleeping bags. It seemed to be partly used for storage, as there were numerous TV's, lamps and bedding. It did have a small bathroom/shower, and we utilized this facility to its fullest. After some gabbing in the darkness I drifted off to sleep at about the same time I'd woken up the previous day. Since there were no windows to judge the amount of daylight, I had to peel myself out of bed at 10:00 am so we could get our gear together and stumble out at 11:00, the checkout time.
Emerging from the gloom, we set off toward the Amtrak station, where we'd all stash our gear until our respective trains arrived - their northbound was "supposed" to arrive around 12:30 pm and my southbound at 5:05 pm. We all hoped to have enough time to walk over to the freightyard and play "railfan" but if their train was on time we'd practically have to run. Approaching the ticket window we calmly asked how #14 was doing, and when the lady glumly replied "It'll be about an hour and a half late" we ecstatically yelled "Yesss!" and jumped up and down, a reaction I don't usually express in such an instance. Off we went to the yard, all the while comparing the trains of the U.S. with those of Europe.
The few people we met while wandering around were cool with us walking through buildings and snooping around engines - funny the difference not wearing a backpack makes. Meandering back to the depot we had a few more moments to chat before their train pulled in at 1:45 pm. Good-byes were said and I headed off to explore what few "points of interest" were open on a Sunday afternoon in Eugene. An open bookstore was a welcome sight and provided me with diversion until my train arrived at 5:30 pm. After cunningly transferring the contents of a bottle of Fairbanks White Port into an empty Schweppes Ginger Ale bottle, I boarded my train and settled in for the ride back. Except for a noisy contingent of Operation Lifesaver clones seated around me, the ride back was reasonably mellow, made more so by the "Ginger Ale". Arriving back in Dunsmuir at 1:00 am, I crashed next to the depot and drove home in the morning, wishing my German friends well on their journey up to Seattle and across the High Line to Chicago and the flight home.


Heat the oil in a medium saucepan or casserole, over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the drained rice and cook, stirring often, until the rice becomes milky white and feels heavy in the pan as you stir, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the scallions and stir and cook until softened, 2 to 3 more minutes.
Add the chicken broth, orange blossom water or orange peel, salt and stir. When the mixture starts to boil, cover the pot, reduce the heat to lowest setting and cook until the rice is cooked through and the liquid has been absorbed, about 20 minutes.
If the rice grains don't seem soft and cooked through, add a bit more chicken stock or water and let it cook for another 5 more minutes or so. Remove the pan from the heat and let it sit covered for 5 to 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
Serve and decorate with the lightly toasted pumpkin seeds.
Beautiful rice, I'm making some tonight! Thanks for your wonderful recipes!!
Lovely idea, I'm making it today!
Looks yummy and can't wait to try…. Out of curiosity, where would you get orange blossom water?
Try a speciality food market or online.
I like all the recipes in your show.

When one door closes, another opens; but we often lock so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one that has opened for us. – Alexander Graham Bell.
Nothing lasts longer than a temporary government program!
Rolling stones gather no moss. This is an adage that our brain metrics has been ingrained with. Is it relevant in today's fast-moving world?
Today a rolling stone gathers much more moss than a stable stone.
The context is true for temporary staffing as well!
Temporary staffing or flex staffing has its own advantages for the employers and the employees. Most of the temporary staff bring in expertise beyond the core competence of the company that employs them.
The temporary staffing industry is currently valued at 5 billion dollars in India and is expected to grow to around 9 billion in the next 5 years.
India is the third biggest market for temporary staffing, after US and China. The global average of temporary staffing is around 4% and India compares poorly at 0.5%. With India being the fastest growing developing economy, it will certainly match the world standards much sooner than later.
With economies world-over being quite volatile, it would be prudent for companies to move to temporary staffing as a cost-cutting exercise primarily.
Temporary staffing is a big boon for start-ups who have great vision, but lack clarity and the financial backing to implement their vision. Many online designer companies use 100% temporary women staffers for its entire designing project. It is a win-win situation for all concerned.
US companies employ 15 million people from the temporary staffing industry. 9 out of the 10 companies have expressed complete satisfaction on the performance of the temporary staff.
The temporary staffing agency is appointed by a company on the premise that it saves time and the hassles of hiring new employees. As a company, you have hundreds of issues and the last thing you want is to have a problematic temporary staffing issue. However experienced and qualified, no temporary staffing agency has the magic wand to take care of all your problems.
You can prevent most of the temporary staffing issues by adhering to certain principles, to focus on your core issue i.e. running your company successfully.
Simply incoming your agency that you need a big – data specialist is not enough. If you need a biodata specialist from the banking sector who needs to use Hadoop & spark; say precisely that you need a big data specialist with 6 years to experience the financial sector and who is well versed in Hadoop & spark. Otherwise, you might be saddled with the big data expert who knows Hadoop & spark but experience in the pharma sector.
Even though data is the core in both the cases and the pharma specialist might be able to mine data about the financial sector, it won't happen immediately and will take some time for him to learn. The company is not there to train him. The company needs well-trained experts.
The more the specific you are about your needs, the better are the services that your agency can offer.
Before appointing an agency, talk to people, take reference and speak to companies who have used that agency. Don't act in haste and regret later. Go to an agency that specializes in your needs.
A niche specialist agency would be far better than a general agency. If a candidate sent by the agency does not satisfy your needs, ask the company for a replacement. Don't shy away from taking a hard decision. Your decision is in direct proportion to the profits of your company, remember!
At the start of your relationship with an agency there will be hiccups and it is quite natural. This can be overcome when you build a strong bond with the agency. Provide your agency with all the details that they need to have. This will help them understand your business ethics on a personal level.
The more your agency understands your aspirations, expectations, workplace environment, rules and regulations the better prepared would be the agency. You go the extra mile and they will go that extra 100 miles.
After the temporary staffing agency assigns you a person on a fixed pay, don't hesitate to pay him/her more if you find their skills are something special. Be effusive in your praise and be kind to them.
Hearing your constant encouragement, they will put in double the efforts and save you the cost of another temporary staff. Remember your competitors are waiting and your loss will be their gain.
An employee sent by the agency might be a temporary hand but treat him with respect and diffidence. He is there because you need him, and he needs you. The relationship and respect must be mutual. If you find him to be a real specialist in his domain and has honest work ethics, treat him as one of your own and give him all the fringe benefits that your regulars enjoy. Viz. free cab, free food, holidays etc. Understand that he/she is there to assist you on your request at a reduced cost to the company.
Presuming that you run amusement parks in different cities, when is the time that you would need more stuff? With school going kids ( accompanied by their parents ) being your primary clientele, your amusement park is likely to overflow during summer vacations. Your best months for increasingly monetizing your business are between April and June.
With kids running haywire inside the amusement park out of enthusiasm, you need more security to keep an eye on these vibrant kids for those 3 months. There is no point in paying salaries to extra security staff for 12 months when there is a need for them for only 3 months.
If you tap the temporary staffing agencies in the month of March they will be having nobody In the roaster as other amusement parks would have contracted them.
Tell your temporary staffing agency in the month of January as to how many security personnel that you might need in April and they will be ready.
Planning in advance based on historical evidence is something that every company has to do.
Big companies go for campus recruitment every year and the raw hands need to be trained. From among the recruits, the not-so-skilled have to be weeded out at the conclusion of the training period. For this purpose, the company needs skilled trainers for 2 to 3 months.
With advance planning, companies can recruit top-rated trainers from temporary staffing agencies for a 3-month period. There is no point in keeping a trainer on a permanent basis when there is a need for only three months. Here too advance planning and prior information to the temporary staffing agencies is an absolute necessity.
The vision and enthusiasm of a startup have to be backed with sound business acumen and a clear-cut road map for the journey. These startups have primary skills and knowledge, but they suffer due to the lack of cohesive implementation skills. They are on unsure footing due to in-experience.
It is here that a temporary staffing agency providing consultants with sound knowledge and experience proves to be the single point solution to all the problems of a startup. The consultants with their friendly contacts in big companies can certainly bring projects for a startup.
Respect age, respect knowledge, respect experience and the world will respect you.
Stand outside any behemoth of a company, you will see hundreds of people queuing up for a job. Set your foot inside and see what happens. People with very high qualifications will be doing mundane jobs. People with mundane skills doing highly qualified jobs. This is a huge mismatch that cannot be set right overnight.
All of a sudden stagnation sets into the company, order books become compressed and cash flows start decreasing. The main reason is the company was not following the dictum horses for courses. It is here that the temporary staffing agency steps in to fill the void and be a bridge between the company and the candidate. Hire one for your needs today!

Q: Erlang : nested cases I'm very new to Erlang. I tried to find out if a list index is out of bounds (before trying it) so i wanted to do an if clause with something like
if lists:flatlength(A) < DestinationIndex ....

I discovered that those function results cannot be used in if guards so i used case instead. This results in a nested case statement
case Destination < 1 of
    true -> {ok,NumberOfJumps+1};
    false ->
    case lists:flatlength(A) < Destination of
        true ->
            doSomething;
        false ->
            case lists:member(Destination,VisitedIndices) of
                true -> doSomething;
                false ->
                    doSomethingElse
            end
    end
end.

I found this bad in terms of readability and code style. Is this how you do things like that in erlang or is there a more elegant way to do this?
Thanks in advance

A: Before you take the following as some magical gospel, please note that the way this function is entered is almost certainly unidiomatic. You should seek to limit cases way before you get to this point -- the need for nested cases is itself usually a code smell. Sometimes it is genuinely unavoidable, but I strongly suspect that some aspects of this can be simplified way earlier in the code (especially with some more thought given to the data structures that are being passed around, and what they mean).
Without seeing where the variable A is coming from, I'm making one up as a parameter here. Also, without seeing how this function is entered I'm making up a function head, because without the rest of the function to go by its pretty hard to say anything for sure.
With all that said, let's refactor this a bit:
First up, we want to get rid of the one thing we know can go into a guard, and that is your first case that checks whether Destination < 1. Instead of using a case, let's consider that we really want to call two different clauses of a common function:
foo(Destination, NumberOfJumps, _, _) when Destination < 1 ->
    {ok, NumerOfJumps + 1};
foo(Destination, _, VisitedIndices, A) ->
    case lists:flatlength(A) < Destination of
        true -> doSomething;
        false ->
            case lists:member(Destination,VisitedIndices) of
               true  -> doSomething;
               false -> doSomethingElse
            end
    end.

Not too weird. But those nested cases that remain... something is annoying about them. This is where I suspect something can be done elsewhere to alleviate the choice of paths being taken here much earlier in the code. But let's pretend that you have no control over that stuff. In this situation assignment of booleans and an if can be a readability enhancer:
foo(Destination, NumberOfJumps, _, _) when Destination < 1 ->
    {ok, NumberOfJumps + 1};
foo(Destination, _, VisitedIndices, A) ->
    ALength = lists:flatlength(A) < Destination,
    AMember = lists:member(Destionation, VisitedIncides),
    NextOp =
        if
            ALength     -> fun doSomething/0;
            AMember     -> fun doSomething/0;
            not AMember -> fun doSomethingElse/0
        end,
    NextOp().

Here I have just cut to the chase and made sure we only execute each potentially expensive operation once by assigning the result to a variable -- but this makes me very uncomfortable because I shouldn't be in this situation to begin with.
In any case, something like this should test the same as the previous code, and in the interim may be more readable. But you should be looking for other places to simplify. In particular, this VisitedIndices business feels fishy (why don't we already know if Destination is a member?), the variable A needing to be flattened after we've arrived in this function is odd (why is it not already flattened? why is there so much of it?), and NumberOfJumps feels something like an accumulator, but its presence is mysterious.
What makes me feel weird about these variables, you might ask? The only one that is consistently used is Destination -- the others are only used either in one clause of foo/4 or the other, but not both. That makes me think this should be different paths of execution somewhere further up the chain of execution, instead of all winding up down here in a super-decision-o-matic type function.
EDIT
With a fuller description of the problem in hand (reference the discussion in comments below), consider how this works out:
-module(jump_calc).
-export([start/1]).

start(A) ->
    Value = jump_calc(A, length(A), 1, 0, []),
    io:format("Jumps: ~p~n", [Value]).

jump_calc(_, Length, Index, Count, _) when Index < 1; Index > Length ->
    Count;
jump_calc(Path, Length, Index, Count, Visited) ->
    NewIndex = Index + lists:nth(Index, Path),
    NewVisited = [Index | Visited],
    NewCount = Count + 1,
    case lists:member(NewIndex, NewVisited) of
        true  -> NewCount;
        false -> jump_calc(Path, Length, NewIndex, NewCount, NewVisited)
    end.

Always try to front-load as much processing as possible instead of performing the same calculation over and over. Consider how readily we can barrier each iteration behind guards, and how much conditional stuff we don't even have to write because of this. Function matching is a powerful tool -- once you get the hang of it you will really start to enjoy Erlang.

Marblehead Youth Lacrosse was founded in 1997 as BBYL (Black and Blue Youth Lacrosse) by Mark Bagnell and Rick Anderson, who at the time was the varsity lacrosse coach at Swampscott High School. Their mission was twofold: to teach lacrosse to the youth in town, and to develop talent for the high school program. In the beginning there was just a single Marblehead/Swampscott U-14 boy's team that competed in the Mass Bay Youth Lacrosse League. By 2001, the program had expanded to 12 teams: two U-10, four U-12, three U-14 boy's teams and three girls' teams. In 2006, the girl's program, continuing under the leadership of Nanny Noyes, split off to become NSML, or North Shore Mermaids Lacrosse. In 2010, the Swampscott boy's program officially branched out on their own to become SNYL (Swampscott/Nahant Youth Lacrosse). At the same time, the girl's program, while still including Swampscott and Nahant players, elected to merge back with the Marblehead boys under their newly renamed MYL (Marblehead Youth Lacrosse). In 2011, SNYL started their own program for girls. Marblehead Girls Youth Lacrosse (MGYL) has served Marblehead pre-schoolers through 8th graders since 2011.
Marblehead Girls Youth Lacrosse began offering Scholarships to Marblehead High School Lacrosse Players in 2017.
We have two Scholarships available: The Marblehead Girls Youth Lacrosse Founders Scholarship, and the Marblehead Girls Youth Lacrosse Betsy Brady Sportsmanship Scholarship. Those interested in applying for one of our Scholarships must do so through the The Marblehead All Sports Boosters. Applications are due in the Fall, and are awarded at a ceremony a few days prior to graduation in the MHS field house.
Recipients of the MHD Girls Youth Lax Scholarships must be a Marblehead High School Senior who:
- has played lacrosse for Marblehead High School for the past four years.
- was a participant in Marblehead Girls Youth Lacrosse.
- embodies the Mission of Marblehead Girls Youth Lacrosse, which is "to promote girls youth lacrosse in an environment that emphasizes fun, while developing skills, teamwork, good sportsmanship, and integrity." She follows "all rules and regulations as set forth by US Lacrosse." And, she strives to always "honor the game.""

I guess playing at night time wouldn't be worse than at noon in Mexico and US. It would also be quite ideal considering most time zones, if the kick-off times were for example at 7, 9 and 11.30 pm. That would still leave the comfort and safety of the fans to be resolved, though.

How about putting electric fans all around the field? Giving the refs their own mini-fans on their chests?
Well once all the indentured servants have finished building all the stadiums, the Qataris will be needing something for them to do. Why not just appoint every visitor to the cup with their personal servant, who can walk behind wherever they go them fanning them.

Seems like we could be seeing a huge clash between the the domestic leagues and FIFA. What would FIFA do if the leagues refused to alter their schedules, particularly the Barclays Premier League?

The only solutions are:
1. night-time matches
2. carrot-tops stay out of the sun;
3. add misting features to the stadia A/C; and
4. drink LESS beer; and imbibe more Pepsi Cola and ice cream!!

Trouble is, this isn't like baseball players not coming to an Olympics. Players will want to go to the World Cup, no question. The Premier League and others are right to stand their ground; this is FIFA's mess and they shouldn't **** everyone else about in trying to solve it. But if FIFA does change the calendar, the players won't be fighting with their clubs to stay and play league football, they'll be fighting against them to go to the World Cup.
FIFA have created an almighty mess, and yet Blatter is still at the helm.

The leagues can still play, it will give some of their high-priced benchwarmers some playing time. It's a fact of life here in the US where MLS has played on through the World Cup (although they did take a two week break in 2010). Obviously, the Euro leagues would lose a larger number of players compared to MLS, but they have more than enough players to fill in for the matches over a two month period.

Part of me believes that this whole "moving the World Cup to November" thing could possibly be a great ploy by FIFA to try and change the location of the tournament, or at least re-do the election. Less people may argue if its proven by FIFA that Qatar can't properly host the tournament in summer and it can't be moved to winter without angering the leagues.
Just a theory.

Why not retractable roof stadiums?

Its more so to do with the fans and outside the stadiums festivities. FIFA is concerned the heat will ruin the spirit. Should have thought of that before awarding Qatar the event FIFA
Extrordinary....
Awarding the 2022 soccer World Cup to Qatar's desert state was a "blatant mistake" FIFA executive committee member Theo Zwanziger said, adding that staging the tournament in winter would be just as big a problem.
German Zwanziger's attack on the decision to give the tiny energy-rich Gulf state the world's biggest single sports event comes after FIFA president Sepp Blatter repeated his view that the finals could not be played in the traditional summer slot.
"It was a blatant mistake," Zwanziger, formerly head of the German football federation (DfB) told Sportbild magazine, referring to the decision taken by world soccer's governing body in December 2010.
Zwanziger, who joined the FIFA executive the following year, also said shifting the tournament to the winter months would put the unity of German football in danger.
"Changing the World Cup to the winter is going deep into the structures of European national federations and also amateur football in Germany."
"A change in playing schedules does not only affect the Bundesliga but continues affecting lower divisions due to the link with promotion and relegation. The game pyramid is in danger and so is the unity of German football."
Moving the World Cup to the winter would have a seismic effect on soccer scheduling in Europe.
Many leagues outside Britain have a winter break but would need a hiatus of at least six weeks to accommodate national teams preparing for, and playing at, the World Cup finals.
The English Premier League, despite not having a winter break, has repeatedly voiced its strong disagreement with moving the tournament to the winter months.
"A winter World Cup would mean public viewing with ice skating boots in freezing temperatures," said Zwanziger.
"If the decision was really a mistake it should be lifted and should not become an even bigger burden for those who are not involved by changing it to the winter."

Yeah!! Shake it up!! The lawyers need some new work!!
it's up to Qatar, if they can host in summer as they said then it should go as planned, if they want to give it back then let Qatar decide and a new host can be picked. FIFA should shut up; they held a vote and awarded the tournament....
Qatar owns 2022 at this point don't they? It was given to them.
No; in real cold hard facts, FIFA owns the tournament, just as the IOC owns the Olympics. They can revoke the awards anytime they wish to...except it has to be with due cause. Maybe, they'll give Qatar an automatic bye for 2022 if it is moved elsewhere?
would FIFA owe Qatar for all their expense in the planning or actual work to produce durable items or construction related specifically to items required by the bid after the award was made? that could add up....fast....like way more than FIFA might have. people, planners, renders, infrastructure planning, research, development, actual work or good etc?
maybe Qatar will own FIFA and just hold their tournament whenever they like.
I'm sure there's a clause in the award contract which gives FIFA an out, something with "...probable cause." The problem is, how to make it convincing, give it to a new bidder...and save face for Qatar as well. If Istanbul loses in Sept, it'll be more difficult to strip Qatar of 2022. But if Istanbul wins, that might embolden FIFA to go ahead and just give it to someone else (like the runner-up US?)?
If I were the head of a big, influential national football association, I would leave FIFA and establish a new governing body with whatever countries tag along. Honestly, FIFA is pathetic.
Unfortunately, FIFA's got the whole infrastructure in place and the sponsors committed. So,it's going to be a tough road to hoe.

lol and people would laugh your ass out of the football world. Only a north american could even think about this. It's much much much less difficult for big corporations to 'steal' the 'olympics' from the IOC than disrupt FIFA's monopoly. Football simply can't work without FIFA.
FIFA rules the football world with a strong hand. They control daily operations. Football needs it to work. lol. I'm not even able to agglutinate my thoughts in a organized and rational way to be able make a post explaining to you how ridiculous is your idea.
nykfan845 51
That was pretty much unwarranted. He was just emphasizing how much he hated FIFA.
You clearly didn't understand the context of his point.
Moreover, there were rumblings back (albeit at a smaller level) that East Asia wanted to break away from West Asia, which shows there exists some sort of resentment.
Do you ever actually have a constructive comment to offer or do you just come on here a couple of times a month to telling the rest of us how to post?
krow 562
me-ow.
My point was to show how pissed off i am about how obscenely corrupt and idiotic FIFA is. You are too blind to realize that there is a huge problem with the sport's governing body and something should be done about it. I think you need to better understand ones point before you go off on an ignorant little rant that barely makes any sense.
Not to get in the middle of someone else's spat here.. I think we all understand how obscenely corrupt and idiotic FIFA and something should be done about it. But that's like saying "the American political system is obscenely corrupt and something should be done about it." I don't know how much validity to the idea that FIFA rules the football world and the sport couldn't exist without it. But I think MrCatra's point was that if you're looking for a solution to fix FIFA, that solution is not going to be for leagues to secede from FIFA.

May 13, 2021 - by shailesh
Today you can play online rummy at almost every gaming platform. But do you know the source from where this card game originated? The history or rummy suggests the existence of the game thousands of years ago. In the post below, we will discuss different perspectives about how the game came to see the light of the day.
Developed from Conquian
What is 'Conquian' and does it have links to rummy? Find it out here:
The popular belief says that a rummy game is an evolved version of 'Conquian'.
This was a game with origins in either Mexico or Spain.
Many are of the proposition that Spanish migrants who settled in America came to invent the game.
It is also said that all the rummy variants originated from Conquian.
Gradually from the 19th century, people started to play the game throughout America.
The Basis of the Name – Rummy
Why is rummy called rummy? Here is what you must know:
The theory behind the origin of the name 'Rummy' is the British slang word 'Rum'.
For Britishers, the word 'rum' means something peculiar or odd. Maybe this is how the folks in the country saw the game.
Also, it is said that rummy rules could have their basis from 'Rum Poker'. It has ancestral laws that govern different types of card games.
Some people link the game with the 'Rum' – alcoholic beverage. The defeated player was believed to pay for the winner's next round of drinks.
Asian Origins to Rummy
Did the game come from Asia? Go, read more below:
Another perspective is that the ultimate rummy came from North America. But other researchers say, it was developed in Europe
However, one cannot avoid links of this game to Asia as well. In China, people used to play 'Mahjong'.
Mahjong was a royalty game played by folks of the kingdom, which later on was played by the common masses as well.
It contains a pick and drop style, which is the same as that in rummy.
This game was also known as Kon Khin and Khanhoo in China. So, the possibility of an Asian connection is probable here.
From China, the game spread out in India as well. And the origin of Indian Rummy happened henceforth.
There are also speculations that this card game came from Hanafuda – a Japanese game. This was developed by travellers from Portugal to Japan.
Connections with World War I and Poker
Was it a fallout of World War 1 or the Poker variant? Know here:
The introduction of how to play rummy may stem from reports seen in Hungarian newspapers. The news snippets contained details about the presence of this game after World War I.
It is also thought that the same was established at a time around the 1915 era. In this period, cafes and coffee shops bloomed all over in the Pest division of Budapest city.
Thus, visitors of these cafes passed their free time playing rummy on the table.
Another theory is that rummy is a variant of Whiskey Poker. It has several styles similar to the contemporary card game.
Finally, it is said that the game was developed from Rum Poker.
It is hard to pinpoint a single source to the origin of rummy games. By all the propositions, it is possible that somehow the game was played by travellers and royalties who went from place to place. This is how the game became popular in different parts of the world. And every country developed its version of the game. Rummy also became a household game during Great Depression and the 1930s. This is because people chose simple and inexpensive ways to stay entertained with their dear ones.
