Applied Neuroscience (MSc)
This course gives a unique insight into neuroscience in real world settings. You'll study alongside our leading neuroscientists with contributions from external academics and professionals, and have access to the department's excellent neuroscience facilities. You'll learn to conduct applied neuroscience research projects and acquire practical, hands on experience for your future career.
On this course you will:
Gain practical and hands on experience using neuroscience methodologies and data analysis, with teaching assuming no prior experience with the techniques.
Complete assessments that have been developed to map on to relevant activities in both academic and industrial settings, which will enhance your employability.
Engage with contemporary and cutting edge neuroscience research questions and learn to conduct applied neuroscience research projects.
From time to time, we make changes to our courses to improve the student and learning experience, and this is particularly the case as we continue to respond to the Covid-19 pandemic. If we make a significant change to your chosen course, we'll let you know as soon as we can.
Methods in Applied Neuroscience
This module will provide you with the possibility to gain some hands-on experience of neuroscience techniques that can be used in applied contexts, such as EEG, fMRI and eye-tracking. You will learn how to collect data and analyse the data in a meaningful way to gain insight into human neural processes underlying perceptions, decisions and emotions, within an experimental design. Throughout the module, you will make use of different programming languages to deal with the different types of neuroscientific data.
Statistics for Research
In this module you will develop an understanding of the main statistical methods used in psychology research. You will look at basic descriptive statistics before covering more complex techniques, including analysis of variance, analysis of covariance, correlation analysis, and simple and multiple regression. You will examine advanced statistical methods, such as structural equation modelling and factor analysis. You will gain hands-on experience in applying these methods of analyses to actual datasets and problems using statistical software, considering their respective strengths and weaknesses, and what type of problems each approach is best suited to address.
Neuroscience of emotion and decision making
This module will introduce you to the latest research concerning the neuroscience of emotion and decision making, train students to interpret and evaluate the research in this area, and train students to apply their knowledge to the analysis of real-life examples Lectures topics could include, for example: comparisons between human and animal models of emotion; emotion regulation; the links between emotion and decision making; neuroeconomics; the neural basis of understanding others; cooperative and competitive decision making.
Neuroscience in the real world
This module will a) introduce you to the latest research concerning the possible real-world applications of neuroscience research and techniques, b) train you to interpret and evaluate both the research in this area and some broader claims relating to applied neuroscience, and c) train you to apply this knowledge to the analysis of real-world problems.
Applied Neuroscience Dissertation
This module will provide students with the possibility to carry out a piece of empirical research on a topic of their interest within the broad area of applied neuroscience. Students will decide on a topic for their project in conjunction with their academic supervisors. Care will be taken to match students' and supervisors' interests as closely as possible. The project will be in the broad area of applied neuroscience using a neuroscientific technique such as eye tracking, VR, EEG, or fMRI for example.
This module will describe the key principles of academic integrity, focusing on university assignments. Plagiarism, collusion and commissioning will be described as activities that undermine academic integrity, and the possible consequences of engaging in such activities will be described. Activities, with feedback, will provide you with opportunities to reflect and develop your understanding of academic integrity principles.
Optional Modules
There are a number of optional course modules available during your degree studies. The following is a selection of optional course modules that are likely to be available. Please note that although the College will keep changes to a minimum, new modules may be offered or existing modules may be withdrawn, for example, in response to a change in staff. Applicants will be informed if any significant changes need to be made.
Topics in Psychological Science
Seminars will adopt an interactive, discussion-based style, focused around a topical research paper or a wider issue relating to psychological science. The topics for discussion will be drawn from a broad range of research areas, including neuroscience, cognition and social psychology. Many of the discussions will be student-led, and the topics for these sessions will reflect individual students' particular areas of interest. The taught module will be complemented by a series of departmental research seminars, through which students will be able to hear about the latest research from a variety of external speakers.
Psychology in Applied Settings
The module aims to help students understand the challenges but also benefits of conducting research in applied settings, as compared to laboratory settings. After discussing general opportunities and challenges in conducting psychological research in applied settings, the module will cover a variety of topics in applied psychology delivered by experts on the topics and practitioners. These may vary each year, but can include selected topics in organisational psychology, forensic psychology, educational psychology, counselling psychology, and applied social psychology. Some example topics include eyewitness testimony in the court, parenting interventions, and understanding donations.
Intergroup and Interpersonal Processes
This module covers the social psychology of intergroup and interpersonal processes. As such, the course content is situated broadly in applied social psychology. It introduces theories and findings in this area and uses them to explain real-life phenomena. Lectures will cover issues like, for example, cross-cultural psychology, of intergroup relations, ethnic identity, conflict resolution, immigration, and interpersonal relationships.
Adjustment and well-being
The module will cover a variety of topics in adjustment and well-being delivered by experts on the topics and practitioners. These will include measurement of well-being, antecedents and consequences of well-being, ill-being and health psychology. Some example topics include materialism and well-being, delusions, and adjustment of personal values to life transitions.
Clinical Assessment and Treatment Approaches
In this module you will explore instruments that mental health professionals use to assess patients, as well as assess evidence-based treatment approaches to disorders.
Forensic Investigations: Cognitive and Social Approaches
In this module you will develop an understanding of cognitive, social and neuroscience approaches to forensic psychology. You will look at social approaches to different victim and offender groups, the neuroscience of psychopathy, interviewing victims, physiological approaches to deception, detection, and the role of eyewitness identifications in the legal system. You will also examine receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis and confidence relationships as they apply to decision makers and estimator and system variables.
Teaching is delivered primarily through sessions lasting between one and five hours. These typically combine seminar discussions with practical workshops to develop statistical, methodological and analytical experience. Where possible, these will be student-led, with participants encouraged to devise exercises engaging with the relevant issues and to direct fellow students in these experiments.
We place emphasis on group discussion and the development of independent thought and analysis appropriate to carry out an independent piece of research of high quality, in an area of interest to you. In some contributing modules, you will give oral presentations which form part of the formative assessment. Summative assessment is usually by written assignment, with an emphasis on developing and demonstrating skills relevant in real-world settings (eg posters, grant proposals, podcasts). There are also some written exams, particularly for modules focussing on methodology and statistics.
Psychology or a related Social Science subject with evidence of having taken and passed methodological and statistics training at degree level.

Fees, funding & scholarships
Home (UK) students tuition fee per year*: £14,200
EU and international students tuition fee per year**: £22,000
Other essential costs***: There are no single associated costs greater than £50 per item on this course
How do I pay for it? Find out more about funding options, including loans, grants, scholarships and bursaries.
* and ** These tuition fees apply to students enrolled on a full-time basis. Students studying on the standard part-time course structure over two years are charged 50% of the full-time applicable fee for each study year.
All postgraduate fees are subject to inflationary increases. This means that the overall cost of studying the course via part-time mode is slightly higher than studying it full-time in one year. Royal Holloway's policy is that any increases in fees will not exceed 5% for continuing students. For further information, please see our terms and conditions. Please note that for research courses, we adopt the minimum fee level recommended by the UK Research Councils for the Home tuition fee. Each year, the fee level is adjusted in line with inflation (currently, the measure used is the Treasury GDP deflator). Fees displayed here are therefore subject to change and are usually confirmed in the spring of the year of entry. For more information on the Research Council Indicative Fee please see the RCUK website.
** The UK Government has confirmed that EU nationals are no longer eligible to pay the same fees as UK students, nor be eligible for funding from the Student Loans Company. This means you will be classified as an international student. At Royal Holloway, we wish to support those students affected by this change in status through this transition. For eligible EU students starting their course with us in September 2022, we will award a fee reduction scholarship equivalent to 60% of the difference between the UK and international fee for your course. This will apply for the duration of your course. Find out more
*** These estimated costs relate to studying this particular degree at Royal Holloway during the 2022/23 academic year, and are included as a guide. Costs, such as accommodation, food, books and other learning materials and printing, have not been included.

The ideal trip for a week, our 7 Days Turkey Tour covers the most important highlights of country with brilliantly planned excursions.
Once you land in Istanbul, you will be greeted by our crew and transported to your hotel for check-in. After you have settled in, we will meet you in person to deliver your envelope with your official itinerary, vouchers and tickets over a warm and welcoming cup of Turkish coffee or tea while we brief you shortly about your Turkey tour. The rest of the day will be yours to chill out before your first overnight stay in Istanbul in the arrival day of our 7 Days Turkey Tour.
Pick-up from the hotel in the morning by our professional English-speaking guide, to begin the 8 Days Turkey Tour with the full-day Old City tour. Starting with the magnificent Hagia Sophia museum, the excursion will take you around breathtaking destinations such as the Blue Mosque, Hippodrome of Constantinople, Obelisk of Theodosius, Topkapi Palace, Serpentine Column, German Fountain, Grand Bazaar and more. Once your daily epic journey comes to an end, our guide will accompany you to your hotel. The rest of the evening will be yours to treat yourself to an authentic Turkish dinner and a good night's sleep to build up energy for your early morning departure in the following day.
Early morning pick-up from the hotel, transfer to the airport for your 70-minute flight to Cappadocia. Upon arrival, transfer to the tour site (or firstly to your hotel depending on the time of your flight) for the North Cappadocia tour. Today's tour will include magical visiting spots like Goreme Open-Air Museum for a glimpse at the ancient monks' life, Pasabag for quicks snaps of unique landscape, Esentepe Panorama for a panoramic view of the unique lands that you will begin seeing tomorrow starting with Pigeon Valley and finally an applied small course at Avanos pottery workshops with the Red River running down right next to them. Upon ending of the tour on the third night of our 7 Days Turkey Tour, we will transfer you to your authentic cave hotel. You will have some time to go downtown to grab a quick but delicious dinner as well.
Note: Please keep in mind that if you book the balloon tour for the next day, you will need some quality sleep before your early morning departure for the balloon!
Afterwards you will get picked-up from the hotel for the South Cappadocia tour, which includes the ultimate must see locations of Cappadocia such as Meskendir Valley and Rose Valley with their vast pallet of natural wonders, authentic rock village of Cavusin, the world-renown ancient underground city of Kaymakli, Pigeon Valley and finally Uchisar Castle with its unrivaled view over the area. When the excursion comes to and end, you will be transferred to the airport for your flight to Izmir. Once you have arrived, you will be taken to your hotel for an overnight stay. From there, you can roll into town for a taste of the world-class Turkish cuisine, and unique forms of entertainment & passtime for all different kinds of mindsets.
Morning pick-up from the hotel, transfer to the tour region for the Pamukkale & Hierapolis Ancient City tour. Our guide will take you on a trip around a mix of natural and man-made marvels like the travertines, Karahayit (Red Pamukkale), ancient Greco-Roman city of Hierapolis, Museum of Hierapolis, The Byzantine Church and the Ancient Theatre. Once the tour ends, our crew will transfer you to the hotel in Kusadasi resort town via a 2,5-hour scenic ride. After check-in, you can have an enjoyable meal at one of the numerous seaside restaurants close to your hotel, to finish the day in a great way with beautiful examples of Aegean cuisine – accompanied by an unmatched view of the Greek island Samos, before your overnight stay on the sixth night of our 7 Days Turkey Tour.
Early in the morning you will get picked-up from the hotel in Kusadasi and transferred to Ephesus for the full-day Ephesus Ancient City tour with epic inclusions like Temple of Hadrian, inner parts of Ephesus Ancient City, Celsus Library with its mythically emblazoned exterior, House of Virgin Mary as a place of pilgrimage and Saint John's Basilica – a homage to the saint by an Eastern Roman emperor and more. Upon ending of the tour, you will be transferred to the airport for 60-minute flight to Istanbul. Once you have landed, we will take you to your hotel. You can feel free to drop by a good restaurant in the vicinity of your hotel as you already know the area for a last but memorable dinner – or finalize your affairs with either shopping or visiting the places you may like to see under the nightlights of Istanbul, before your final overnight stay in Turkey.
Morning pick-up from your hotel, transfer to Kabatas harbor to board the boat, half day morning cruise of the historical sites along the Bosphorus, which connects Europe and Asia as a both physical and cultural bridge. As a strategically and naturally important water route, it is home to our destinations such as Golden Horn – a global symbol of Istanbul, Kucuksu Palace with its majestic architectural style and Rumeli Naval Fortress – still witnessing the evolution of the mega city after hundreds of years. It is also quite amazing to see at night, so feel free to ask us for a dinner cruise if you somehow decide to extend your stay. Upon the end of your cruise, you will disembark at the harbor and our crew will transfer you to your hotel so you can grab your luggages. Later on, we will take you to the airport for your departure flight – which concludes our services in the 7 Days Turkey Tour, hopefully with good memories of us and our country in your mind and a long-lasting smile on your face.
- The tour is fully customizable in every way.- Available all year.- There is no additional cost.

Q: What loop is more efficient? I want to know which code is more efficient, and I have two options. Which would you say it is more efficient and why? Thank you.
Option A
array1 size is 1000
array2 size is 2000

for(int i = 0; i < array1.size(); i++)
{
    for(int j = 0; j < array2.size(); j++) {
        if(array1[i].method() == array2[j].method()) // CHECKS IF THERE'S AN EQUAL IN BOTH ARRAYS
        {
            doSomething();
            break;
        }
        if(j == array2.size()-1) // CHECKS IF ARRAY1 DID NOT FIND A MATCH
        {
            doSomething();
            break;
        }
        for(k = 0; k < array1.size(); k++)
        {
            if(array1[k].method() == array2[j].method()) // CHECKS IF THERE'S AN EQUAL IN BOTH ARRAYS
            {
                // BUT DOES NOTHING BECAUSE IT WAS DONE ALREADY UPSIDE
                break;
            }
            if(k == array1.size()-1) // CHECKS IF ARRAY2 DID NOT FIND A MATCH
            {
                doSomething();
                break;
            }
        }
    }
}

Option B
array1 size is 1000
array2 size is 2000

    for(int i = 0; i < array1.size(); i++)
    {
        for(int j = 0; j < array2.size(); j++) {
            if(array1[i].method() == array2[j].method()) // CHECKS IF THERE'S AN EQUAL IN BOTH ARRAYS
            {
                doSomething();
                break;
            }
            if(j == array2.size-1)  // CHECKS IF ARRAY1 HAS NO ARRAY2 MATCH
            {
                doSomething();
                break;
            }
        }
    }

    for(int j = 0; j < array2.size(); j++)
    {
        for(int i = 0; i < array1.size(); i++) {
            if(array2[j].method() == array1[i].method()) // CHECKS IF THERE'S AN EQUAL IN BOTH ARRAYS
            {
                // BUT DOES NOTHING BECAUSE IT WAS DONE ALREADY UPSIDE
                break;
            }
            if(i == array1.size-1) // CHECKS IF ARRAY2 HAS NO ARRAY1 MATCH
            {
                doSomething();
                break;
            }
        }
    }

I currently have OPTION B implemented and I am wondering if I should move to OPTION A, because although Options A may take more time, I don't know if it will take more time doing both loops or one doing all the iterations.
Or maybe are the same, I don't really know about it.

A: Option A is O(x^2*y)
Option B is O(x*y)
in your case option A will take up to 2,000,000,000 iterations while B will take up to 4,000,000 iterations. This doesn't include breaks or continues of course. I would probably stick with B.

A: As said by @Sploder12 but you will also gain a lot taking out the function calls in the loop e.g.
int n= array.size()
for(int i=0; i<n; i++)

rather than
 for(int i=0; i<array.size(); i++)

Unless you are modifying array size within loop the repeated function calls are a waste.

A: Regarding the comment of @Turing85 I did wonder whether or not there might be some compiler mechanism which could spot the fact that the return value of size() in the loop initialisations may be constant and therefore could be replaced with a constant "effecively final". I therefore ran the following two loops, the first without the manual constant optimisation:
int n1=a1.size();
for(int i=0; i<a1.size(); i++) {
    int n2=a2.size();
    for(int j=0; j<a2.size(); j++) {
        int n3=a3.size();
        for(int k=0; k<a3.size(); k++) {
            int candidate=a1.get(i)*a2.get(j)*a3.get(k);
            candidate+=n1*n2*n3;
            func(candidate);
        }//k
    }//j
}//i

The second with a manual constant optimisation:
int n1=a1.size();
for(int i=0; i<n1; i++) {
    int n2=a2.size();
    for(int j=0; j<n2; j++) {
        int n3=a3.size();
        for(int k=0; k<n3; k++) {
            int candidate=a1.get(i)*a2.get(j)*a3.get(k);
            candidate+=n1*n2*n3;
            func(candidate);
        }//k
    }//j
}//i

I then ran these loops 10 times with a1.size()=100, a2.size()=200, and a3.size()=300 to get a time and calculated the mean and standard error of 100 times for each variation of the loop with the order of the 200 runs randomised.
This whole process was repeated 10 times within a single job (i.e. a single invocation of the JVM) to obtain 10 paired means and standard errors (one member of the pair from the optimised runs and the other from the unoptimised runs). In all 10 cases the optimised mean times were considerably faster than the unoptimised mean times. In every case the difference between the means was more than 6.9 times the standard error and in 7 out of the 10 cases the difference between the means was more than 15 standard errors. The data are given below. The byte code generated for the loops was different and although I don't claim to speak bytecode there were additional invokevirtual calls to a*.size() which I assume are responsible for differences in the performance of the two loop versions.
So, taking into account the comment from @Turing85 I wonder about the conditions under which optimisations "on this level" can be ignored?

Wow, this is awful. Colour scheme very harsh and the front page requires a lot more scrolling to read all the headlines.
As ITV were until recently and C4 and Five still are, I think you may be the only one.
You've tested the HDMI and the SCART and the RF outputs of the box? Is the box still in warranty?
Wow Ragnarok has sighted two yeti's. What do they look like? Specifically, what were the version numbers after (or currently) and before (Sticker on underside).
That's a shame, I thought you'd found a yeti for us Dave. So the state of the art is still that the model number apparently changes with every update but there is no evidence for the version number ever changing on any box.
Well, given that the evidence is a little thin, I'm going to go ahead and file the theory under 'B' :P I would be inclined to suspect tampering if I saw a box whose model code or serial did not match it's NDS number.
I'm happy for you and your new religion Mr seagulls, but Nigel said *version* not *model*. Change of the model number is, as far as I am aware the most reliable way to check for an update apart from connecting the box to a PC with a serial cable.
I do not think you are right Nigel, The version number is in ink on the bottom of any sky box and in the write protected bootloader, what a box reports should be the same as these.

Electricity is getting more expensive, while ELEM is announcing a public procurement for water worth 3 million denars
venco.d
The situation in the budget of Macedonia is catastrophic and that is why the government of SDSM and Zaev is hitting the pockets of the citizens. Due to that, the price of electricity increases by as much as 7.5%, in order to cover the incompetent and irresponsible operation in the past three years. But to make matters worse, Zaev's government in the midst of increasing the price of electricity does not stop with the unbridled spending of public money.It does that exactly through ELEM, one of the factors due to which the price of electricity is increasing, this was emphasized today through a press conference by StevceAntovski from VMRO-DPMNE.
"Namely, on July 29, two days before the increase in electricity prices, ELEM signed a contract after the tender for public procurement of carbonated and non-carbonated mineral water announced by the company in the amount of almost 3 million denars or about 50 thousand euros for REK BITOLA. The company that in order to protect its profit demanded an increase in the price of electricity at the same time procures water in the amount of 50 thousand euros only for REK BITOLA. In other words, the people will pay 7.5% more for expensive electricity, and ELEM will procure carbonated and non-carbonated water of almost 3 million denars or 50 thousand euros.This is just one of the indicators of the non-domestic work of the government of SDSM and ZAEV. In the past, they employed party soldiers, hired relatives of officials, distributed bonuses, made dubious million-dollar tenders, all the time with the money of the citizens, in the energy companies where salaries are far above average, all the time with the money of the citizens, and now shamelessly ask the people to pay them irresponsible work," says Antovski.
He adds that with this increase, Macedonia has become one of the countries in Europe where citizens pay the highest price compared to the average salary. This decision directly hits the standard of the citizens in the midst of a coronavirus epidemic. Macedonia is the only country in the region and beyond that in such a health crisis raises energy, when everyone else either keeps prices down or lowers them.

Columbia History
Columbia was established in 1786 when the site was chosen by the South Carolina General Assembly as the location for a state capital, making it one of the first planned cities in the United States. Columbia was laid out in 400 blocks that were subsequently divided into 1/2 acre lots and then sold to investors and prospective residents with the agreement that they would build within 3 years or face a penalty. By 1850, Columbia had gained a railroad, supporting an economy based on cotton and textile manufacturing. In 1860, South Carolina became the first state to secede from the Union prior to the Civil War, at a convention held in Columbia. Much of the city was destroyed by fire during the final months of the Civil War. During reconstruction, Columbia returned to textile manufacturing and the city grew into a regional trade and business center. Historic preservation efforts along with new construction created a modern city that also reflects deep connections to its past.

Q: Restriction to a subset of the Fourier transform of a measure determines the measure? Suppose $\mu$ is a finite measure on $\mathbb{R}^2$ and consider the Fourier transform of $\mu$, denoted by $\hat{\mu}$
\begin{align}
\hat{\mu} (x,y):= \int_{\mathbb{R}^2} e^{-i\langle (x,y),(s,t)\rangle} d\mu (s,t).
\end{align}
I have the following question regarding $\hat{\mu}$:
Suppose we know $\hat{\mu}$ on the unit circle $\mathbb{S}^1$, does it completely determine $\mu$? In other words is it possible to find two different measures $\mu_1$ and $\mu_2$ such that $\hat{\mu_1} = \hat{\mu_2}$ on $\mathbb{S}^1$?
Thanks!

A: Clearly not. Say $\mu_1$ and $\mu_2$ are both rotation-invariant measures. Then $\hat\mu_j$ is constant on $S^1$. Wlog (adding $\delta_0$, say) both constants  are non-zero, so there exist $a_j>0$ such that $a_1\hat\mu_1=a_2\hat\mu_2$ on $S^1$.

Jake Shermann, Hillary Flynn, Hastert hometown rocked by scandal, Politico
June 8, 2015 /in Uncategorized /by SOL Reform
Larry Patrick remembers J. Dennis Hastert well. He remembers wrestling on his 1976 championship team here in this rural community of 17,000, west of Chicago. He remembers the summers, when Hastert would pile his wrestlers into a bus, and drive it himself so the Yorkville High School team could afford to attend camp.
"They would really make these trips inexpensive," Patrick said. "Just Denny driving the bus with about 10 boys." Patrick – like many others here – vehemently denied that Hastert had any inappropriate relationships. Carl Kick, who wrestled in 1979, said the same: Hastert never behaved inappropriately.
Story Continued Below
But the news that Hastert — the long-serving former House speaker and home-town hero — was under indictment for allegedly concealing his agreement to pay $3.5 million in hush money to a would-be accuser hit his friends and neighbors hard. And news reports now appear to confirm their worst fears: that the funds went to a man leveling accusations of sexual abuse during Hastert's days as a teacher and coach.
Robert Corwin, Hastert's longtime friend and a local judo instructor, was surprised Hastert was in trouble at all. He and Hastert took kids on a "super activity every summer." They went to the Grand Canyon twice, and the Bahamas seven times. In the Bahamas, they stayed in a "very primitive" cabin, so they pair didn't have to worry about the teenagers getting into any trouble. Most of the kids had never been farther than Yorkville or slightly larger Illinois cities like Springfield or Champaign, Corwin said.
"As far as I know, none of the kids [Denny coached] ever got in trouble," said Corwin, whose judo studio is next to the train tracks running through this town. "Denny was like a mentor to them in high school. If a kid started to go astray, Denny would have a talk with that kid and straighten him out."
When he heard of the indictment, he said the allegations of wrongdoing by Hastert "surprised" him.
"I had no idea," Corwin said.
Yorkville and Washington have always represented the two poles in Hastert's life.
WASHINGTON – OCTOBER 24: Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert (R-IL) leaves the House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct after testifying about the House page scandal October 24, 2006 at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, DC. Rep Tom Reynolds (R-NY) has said the he warned Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert (R-IL) about inappropriate contact between former U.S. Rep. Mark Foley (R-FL) and teenage House pages in the spring. Hastert says he does not recall having a conversation with Reynolds about Foley. (Photo by Mark Wilson/Getty Images)
In Yorkville — a once sleepy former pioneer village that only recently tripled in size, thanks partly to an expanding Wrigley plant making Skittles — Hastert was the teacher and champion wrestling coach, who led a Boy Scout troop and an Explorer Post group for nearly two decades. Moving seamlessly into politics, he became Yorkville's man in Springfield and later in Washington.
In the nation's capital, Hastert was known as the man who rose to the speakership rapidly and unexpectedly – and then held onto it for longer than anyone else in the Republican Party's history. At the peak of his power, he was flanked by Capitol Police, and had a phalanx of aides always by his side. On 9/11, he was the man whisked from the Capitol to Andrews Air Force Base to an awaiting helicopter, which took him to an undisclosed location to shield him from a potential terrorist attack. When Hastert was ushered out of power, he vowed to leave Washington to come back to Yorkville and wind down from his time in D.C.
But Washington and Yorkville were joined in shock this week, as news of the indictment spread. Hastert, now 73 will likely be arraigned next week in federal court Chicago on felony charges that could land him in jail for as many as 10 years. U.S. District Court Judge Thomas M. Durkin, a Chicago native appointed to the bench by President Barack Obama, has been assigned to the case.
Former U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert speaks to lawmakers on the Illinois House of Representatives floor at the state Capitol in Springfield on Wednesday, March 5, 2008. Hastert was being honored by Illinois lawmakers for his many years of legislative service. On Saturday March 8, 2008, voters in 14th Congressional District will vote in a special election to fill the seat of the retiring Hastert. Running to fill the seat are businessmen Democrat Bill Foster and Republican Jim Oberweis. (AP Photo/Seth Perlman)
The celebrity status Hastert once enjoyed in both Yorkville and Washington is quickly falling away. Nearby Wheaton College accepted Hastert's resignation from the board of advisers of the eponymous J. Dennis Hastert Center for Economics, Government, and Public Policy. The Yorkville school district that employed Hastert for 16 years said they had "no knowledge" of Hastert's "alleged misconduct."
"If requested to do so, the district plans to cooperate fully with the U.S. Attorney's investigation into this matter," school officials said in a release.
Meanwhile, the Washington-based law firm and lobbying group of Dickstein Shapiro, where Hastert worked for many years, accepted his resignation, as well.
The current House speaker, John Boehner (R-Ohio), recalled Hastert fondly but didn't comment on the allegations: "The Denny I served with worked hard on behalf of his constituents and the country. I'm shocked and saddened to learn of these reports."
Hastert was nowhere to be seen Friday. Local Chicago television trucks lined the narrow Creek Road in Plano, Illinois — just a few miles from Yorkville — with cameras trained on Hastert's green house. Hastert's neighborhood was the picture of serenity, reflecting nothing of the public storm enveloping this town and Hastert's legacy.
Paddle boards were strewn around a pond in front of Hastert's home. Across from Hastert's house is a quiet field. The only upheaval of the day came when county officials tried to move reporters from the side of the road for a lawn mowing.

In spite of his brilliance, Colin Saville doesn't fit in easily at the grammar school in town - 1940s middle-class society is so different from the mining village of his childhood. He makes tentative friendships and meets girls over long, empty summers but feels like an outsider with them and, increasingly, at home.
Following the pattern of David Storey's own early years, Saville is a remarkably honest portrait of the tensions between parents and children, the difficulties of making one's own way in life, and the social divisions that persist still.

Final Jeopardy for Josef Jakobs
Quick! Who was the last person executed in the Tower of London? Tick. Tick. Tick. The clock timer is counting down.
It's a trivia question and one that few people answer correctly. Some might remember Anne Boleyn from the time of the Tudors. Others might think of Catherine Howard. Few would think that the last execution took place in the 20th century, a mere 74 years ago.
While that question pops up on many online trivia sites, it recently achieved a new level of notoriety when it appeared, in modified form, on the famous game show Jeopardy.
On May 8, 2015, three contestants worked their way through a series of Jeopardy clues. The trick with Jeopardy is that the correct "answer" to each clue has to be phrased as a question. For example: "This man is the host of Jeopardy" would be the clue. The answer would be "Who is Alex Trebek?" The contestants earn money with each correct answer and by the end of the Double Jeopardy session on May 8, each had built up a significant pot of money.
Final Jeopardy
Andrew Haringer, a history instructor from Squamish, B.C. had $15,400. Mary Green, an instructor from Milton, GA had $10,000 and Louis Virtel, a web writer from Lemont, IL, was in the lead with a pot of $16,000.
It was now time for Final Jeopardy. The host of the show revealed the category, Historic Sites. Each contestant now had a change to write down their wager, without knowing the question.
Would they bet the bank or would they play it safe? If they answered the question correctly, their wager amount would be added to their pot. If they answered incorrectly, their wager amount would be deducted from their pot.
After a commercial break (of course), Alex Trebek revealed the clue...
Final Jeopardy question - May 18, 2015
(From The Final Wager website)
The clock started ticking. The contestants had 30 seconds to write the answer down on an electronic screen. The tension mounted. Andrew wrote his answer down quickly. Mary and Louis both hesitated. Their time was up. Their answers were revealed starting with the person with the lowest pot of money.
Mary's answer was "the Ba" - clearly not correct. She may have been trying to write the Bastille. Mary had wagered $9500 and was left with $500. Sorry, Mary.
Andrew's answer was "What is the Tower of London". Ding ding ding! Correct. He had wagered his entire piggy bank, all $15,400 and was now up to $30,800. But would it be enough to win? If Louis had wagered $14,801 AND correctly answered the question, Andrew would lose.
Louis' answer was "Auschwicz". Nope. Wrong answer. Louis had wagered $14,801 and lost it all. He was now at $1199.

BBC Article - Unsolved English Murder Mysteries - 13 January 2015
Clara Bauerle, singer and actress
(National Archives - Security Service files)
Every once in a while, I dig around the internet, turning over stones and looking for new and interesting tidbits about Josef and his associates. This morning I came across a January 2015 BBC article entitled "English murder mysteries that have baffled detectives".
Naturally, the article included the case of Bella in the Wych Elm. The article mentioned the usual suspicions that the deceased woman had been a German spy. But this article had an interesting tidbit of information.
The publication of MI5 files detailing the capture of a German spy [Josef Jakobs] with a picture of the actress Clara Bauerle in his pocket led to speculation last year Clara was Bella.
But author Piu Marie Eatwell, who is researching the case, dismissed the theory, highlighting the women's different descriptions and that Clara lived after 1943.
She said her own research had found a lot of police files associated with the case were missing.
My researcher antennae perked up at the mention of another author who has been researching the case of Bella in the Wych Elm, and its connections with Clara Bauerle. Particularly since Eatwell had come to the same conclusion that I had. A bit more searching and it appears that author Piu Marie Eatwell has written a book about Bella in the Wych Elm, but one that has yet to be published. Unfortunate, as it sounds like a very good read.
Daily Mail Article - German Spy - Carl Hans Lody
Carl Hans Lody, WWI Germany spy.
On 2 July, 2014, the Daily Mail published an article which outlined the story of Carl Hans Lody. The article was prompted by the discovery, in the Guards Museum, of a letter written by Lody to the Commander of the 3rd Battalion Grenadier Guards, thanking him and his men for their kindness.
The letter was recently included in a display at the Guards Museum commemorating the 100th anniversary of Lody's death. The display also apparently includes the bullet which ended Lody's life as well as a sixpence that he gave to one of the guards as a tip.
The Daily Mail article also includes an inset piece on the bloody history of the Tower, highlighting some of the more famous (infamous?) executions which have taken place over the centuries. The inset mentions that during World War II, the Tower served as a "temporary prison" and served as the execution site for Josef Jakobs.
This line may not be entirely accurate. The Tower was considered to be a fortress and a royal palace during World War II, but not a prison (either temporary or permanent). While it was true that the Tower served to hold some individuals (e.g. Rudolf Hess), the Secretary of State never declared the Tower of London to be a military prison nor a detention barracks during World War II.
On the other hand, the cell used to hold Josef at HMP Wandsworth, was declared to be a military prison on 19 July, 1941 by Herbert Morrison, one of His Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State. Such a decree was never issued for the Tower of London during World War II.
Today in 1941 - June 18 - German spy Josef Jakobs gave a statement to Lt. Col. Hinchley-Cooke
Today in 1941, Josef Jakobs was taken to Cannon Row Police Station where he gave a statement to Lt. Col. Hinchley-Cooke of MI5.
Since mid-May, Josef had been involved in a cross-ruff with fellow spy Karel Richter; one spy being played off the other. MI5, however, was eager to move in the direction of prosecution and by mid-June, felt that they had all of their ducks in a row. All that was required was for Lt. Col. Hinchley-Cooke to take a statement from Josef.
For this purpose, Inspector Douglas Grant from Special Branch (Metropolitan Police) transported Josef from Latchmere House to Cannon Row Police Station. The statement was taken in the presence of Inspector Grant, Detective Sergeant Smith and Detective Constable Wills. Hinchley-Cooke took the statement in the form of question and answer. After covering the basics of Josef's birth, nationality and military service, Hinchley-Cooke briefly touched on how Josef had arrived in England (by parachute from a German military aircraft) and his purpose in coming to England.
This statement would be used at the court-martial against Josef.
Tower of London - Fortress and Royal Palace, not Prison
Tower of London - (c) G.K. Jakobs.
A few days prior to Josef Jakobs' execution on 15 August, 1941, Lt. Col. W.E. Hinchley-Cooke of MI5 met with W.B. Purchase, the Northern District Coroner (London) and G.H. Cox, Assistant Adjutant General of the London District (military). The three men met around 10 August to discuss the procedure surrounding a coroner's inquest in the case of the death of a person in military custody.
Hinchley-Cooke wanted to keep Josef's execution as secret as possible. He desperately wanted to avoid a coroner's jury and notice of the execution being posted on the gates of the Tower, both of which were necessary when a person was executed at one of His Majesty's Prisons. Hinchley-Cooke recognized that the members of a coroner's jury would need to be informed prior to the actual execution, and he wanted to avoid this at all costs.
Purchase said that a coroner's inquest would be necessary because the death would be unnatural and, if the Tower of London was a prison, then the coroner would need to involve a jury. Purchase rather thought that the Tower could be classified as a prison but a copy of the Army Act was produced for him which altered his thinking.
Header of letter written by W.B. Purchase to M.H. Whitelegge (Home Office?)
Purchase noted that "it is true that in the past [the Tower of London] has, and at times in the present it may harbour persons in custody, but it has never been set apart by the Secretary of State under the terms of the Army Act (s. 132(1)) as a military prison." The Tower of London was simply a royal palace and a fortress, not a prison. Given that the Tower was not a prison, nor a palace in which the King was in residence, it could simply be considered an ordinary place in which a person had died an unnatural death.
In the opinion of Purchase, the coroner assigned to the case need not call a coroner's jury nor post a notice of the execution on the gate of the Tower. Purchase noted that the coroner would still need to conduct an inquest to determine the legality of the death and whether or not it had been carried out in the proper and humane way. Thus the coroner might choose to conduct the post-mortem examination in concert with a skilled person independent of those who had conducted the execution. Finally the coroner and whoever conducted the post-mortem could be bound by the provisions of secrecy.
Hinchley-Cooke was much relieved by this decision and could relax, knowing that Josef's execution would take place in military secrecy.

The Tablet - A Brief Tour of St. Mary's Roman Catholic Cemetery, Kensal Green
On 23 November, 2013, the Tablet newspaper in England published an article entitled "From NW10 to Eternity". The article gives a brief history of St. Mary's Catholic Cemetery in Kensal Green where Josef Jakobs is buried.
The article highlights some of the more impressive tombs in the cemetery and mentions the three spies who are buried within its grounds - Josef Jakobs (German spy), Krystyna Skarbek (British Secret Intelligence agent) and Andrzej Kowerski (SOE agent during World War 2).
The article also notes that there is an underground catacomb below the chapel and the chapel office, a fascinating tidbit of information.
The article notes that the cemetery was almost full in 1992 and that a second lift of soil was placed on graves in the southern area of the cemetery. Winston Ramsey of After the Battle magazine indicated that a second lift of soil was placed on graves in the "G" area of the cemetery in the mid-1970s. Shortly afterwards, he visited the cemetery looking for Josef's grave and found that it had been covered over. Perhaps this area was expanded in 1992.
Website Review - Blog by Robert Walsh
I came across a blog article last year entitled: Josef Jakobs - The Last Execution at the Tower of London. The author of the blog, Robert Walsh, outlines the story of Josef Jakobs. The account, while quite readable, suffers from several factual errors, inconsistencies and spelling mistakes.
Date of execution - Walsh correctly says that Josef was executed on August 15, 1941, and then later alters that to August 14, 1941.
Executions at the Tower - Walsh correctly notes that 11 spies were executed at the Tower during World War I, but later notes that prior to Josef, the last execution took place in 1747. Prior to Josef, the last execution at the Tower took place in 1916 (World War I spy - Ludovico Hurwitz-y-Zender).
Nationality - Walsh states that Josef was a Luxembourger, which is inaccurate. Josef was born in Luxembourg to German parents and was a German citizen.
Money - Walsh says Josef was equipped with £500 in forged notes, also inaccurate. The currency that Josef brought was turned in to the Bank of England and exchanged for new notes. The money needed to be available for Josef's court martial, and after that took place, the original notes he brought were destroyed. Had they been forged, the Bank of England would not have issued replacement notes to the Security Service.
Court Martial - a typo - Josef's court martial took place in 1941 not 1940. Sergison-Brooke did not preside at Josef's court martial, that honour went to Major General Bevil T. Wilson. Sergison-Brooke was the Officer Commanding, London District.
2.5/5 - Several inaccuracies and spelling mistakes distract from the overall story.
Digitization at the National Archives
A friend of mine recently told me that the Josef Jakobs files at the National Archives had been digitized. I took a look and, sure enough, it is now possible to purchase the KV 2 files for the princely sum of £3.30 each, which I think works out to just over $5 CAN.
Twelve years ago, when I first visited the National Archives after the files had been released, I paid £1.00 per page to have the files photocopied. About £800 or almost $1500 CAN, if I remember correctly. A worthwhile investment but it is still nice to know that the files are now available for a much more reasonable cost. I did, however, notice that the court martial file has not yet been digitized. Perhaps the Archives only digitizes "popular" items that have reached a certain threshold of views.
In addition, the National Archives has provided images of some of the artifacts and photographs in the Josef Jakobs files. The x-ray images of Josef's fractured ankle from the KV 2/24 file are available for purchase. In addition, some images from the KV 2/27 file are available - the photograph of Clara Bauerle, the torn fragments of the code disc and a photograph of the flashlight and battery.
National Archives - Image Gallery - items from the KV 2/27 folder on Josef Jakobs.
Image from the Image Library are a tad more pricey - £35.00 each to supply the image and then a reproduction fee based on the intended usage of the image.
I had a look through some of the other World War 2 spy files and found, much to my delight, that many of them have now been digitized. All four of Karel Richter's files, for example, are available for download, as well as a number of photographs in the Image Library.
On the other hand, some of the CRIM (Criminal Courts), PCOM (Prison Commisioners) and WO (War Office) files on the spies have not yet been digitized.
The digitization of the KV 2 files makes research on the World War 2 far more convenient, particularly from a distance.

Many naturally occurring radioactive elements generate gamma rays. The gamma rays have energy levels measured in millions of electron volts abbreviated Mev or Thousands (Kilo) electron volts abbreviated Kev. A typical scintillation detector produces pulses having pulse heights that are proportional to the incident gamma ray energy levels.
Each radioactive element has a characteristic energy level.
Uranium 234 has an energy level of .093 Mev.
Bismuth 214 has an energy levels of .61 Mev, .77 Mev, 1.12 Mev, 1.76 Mev, 2.2Mev, and 2.4 Mev.
Potassium 40 has an energy level of 1.46 Mev. And no other peaks above this energy level.
Thorium has energy levels at 1.61 Mev, 2.20 Mev – the predominant energy level is at 2.62 Mev.
Note the uranium series has no peaks above 2.42 Mev.
Due to the characteristic energy levels sown above, it is apparent that with the use of instrumentation that is capable of discrimination based on pulse height, that specific elements can be detected apart from others. Pulse height analysis is performed using electronic circuitry that measures the pulse height of incoming gamma rays and counts those that fit within a certain window. A pulse height window is established by setting the lower and upper limits for the desired energy levels. Pulses that occur within the set limits qualify and are counted. Gamma ray spectrometers perform this function using hundreds of energy channels. The result is a spectrum of gamma ray energies and a display of the quantity of each radioactive element that occurs within the boundaries of each channel.

My mom threw out my cards more than 35 years ago. To this day, I still find it hard to think about it without a return of that uneasy feeling that I experienced when I first saw my empty closet. I really don't like to think of how many Mantle, Koufax, Clemente cards that I collected and older ones that were given to me are gone forever, decomposed in a landfill somewhere in the swamps of Jersey. But enough of my tale of woe as this is a story of a collection that was started before my mother's mother was even born and that no one threw away.
Back in the very early 1900's, Cincinnati's Fan Craze Company produced two sets of game cards featuring baseball players from the American League and National League. The American League players were issued in 1904 and featured black and white images of the players on cards that are reminiscent of a deck of playing cards. Measuring approximately 2-1/2" by 3-1/2" with rounded edges like a deck of cards, players appeared on the obverse in an oval that included the players' name and team beneath the image. These table game cards include baseball plays above the images. Game plays like "Strike," "Hit by pitcher," "3-base Hit," "Double play" and "Home run" were printed above the player images. Two years later, in 1906, Fan Craze issued a National League players set.
Just before the end of the first decade of the 20th Century, the American Tobacco Company began issuing small baseball cards as premiums in their tobacco products. These small cards, later identified by card collecting pioneer Jefferson Burdick in the American Card Catalog as T206, were produced with various advertising backs from 1909 through 1911 and consisted of hundreds of different players from the Major Leagues and several minor leagues. Advertising backs featured many of American Tobacco Companies top brands, including Sweet Caporal, Piedmont, El Principe de Gales, Polar Bear, American Beauties, Tolstoi, Carolina Brights, Uzit and many others. The complete set consists of 524 cards, including the historic Honus Wagner card that has sold for as much as $2.8 MILLION!
A gentleman contacted our office inquiring about a collection of tobacco cards that his father had received from his father and that he was interested in getting appraised and perhaps receiving a purchase offer. We contacted him and he mentioned that he was in eastern Pennsylvania and that he and his buddy were checking around with a few national companies that buy vintage cards. We discussed his collection and agreed that it would be of interest to us and provided a worst case, ballpark figure from the initial description of the material. He said that it sounded reasonable and we scheduled an appointment in our Somerset, NJ office later that afternoon.
I met with the college-aged man and his friend and we talked about how he got the collection from his father nearly a decade earlier and that the cards had been passed down to his father before that. He had taken the time to separate the collection, which consisted of about 90-100 1909-1911 T206 cards (divided by advertising backs), about a dozen 1911 T205 Gold Borders and about 40 1904 Fan Craze American League player cards. Sadly, the Fan Craze cards had been trimmed dramatically and had been glued into an album and then removed at some point over the last 100 or more years. The tobacco cards, while not trimmed or glued, also were well loved and presented in lesser condition. We reviewed the cards, the advertising backs, the overall condition, and discussed some of the players that have more expensive variations in the set. As we discussed the T206's, I noted that there were a few Hall of Fame players in the collection, albeit only 2 in the T206 and about a half dozen or so in the Fan Craze collection and provided a valuation of the approximate retail value based upon condition.
We concluded the discussion with our purchase offer and the young man mentioned that he had another appointment to show the cards to and I encouraged him to take his time and if he wanted to show them to another dealer, I was confident in our offer. He appreciated that there was no hard sell or take-it-or-leave-it offer. We shook hands and he said that he would let me know either way.
Maybe about a half-hour later, the young man called our office and said that he spoke with the other company that he was planning to meet and felt that the other buyer wasn't going to come close to our offer and asked if he could come back and accept our offer. We agreed, he arrived a short time later and we verified the contents of the collection were intact, completed the deal and paid the man on the spot!
Just Collect is always looking for vintage sets and collections at market leading buy prices, so if you have a collection that you are interested in selling, contact us today to and we'll provide you with a free appraisal and can make you a cash offer on the entire collection. We also travel to buy more extensive collections.

Q: simple_form without model and select box I'm trying to create select which will be used just for search
form not be posted directly to the server here is the code from view:
= simple_form_for :tags, url: '#' do |f|
  = f.input 'id[]', collection: @tags

@tags is just Active relation - tags which comes from acts-as-taggable-on
here is my code from controller:
@tags = project.user_statuses.tag_counts_on(:tags)

from console looks like:
[#<ActsAsTaggableOn::Tag id: 1, name: "amazing">,
 #<ActsAsTaggableOn::Tag id: 2, name: "bfc-release">,
 #<ActsAsTaggableOn::Tag id: 3, name: "demo">,

 #<ActsAsTaggableOn::Tag id: 5, name: "project1">]

but I get
    undefined method `id[]' for #
in my view. what I'm doing wrong?

A: SimpleForm tries to get value for this field. It takes object (:tags) and send it a method, named as field(id[]). So this lead to :tags.send 'id[]'. And because Symbol class doesn't have such method, you got error.
Perhaps it is bad idea to use simple_form_for in case when object is not model.

A: Seems it's a just bad syntax and non informative error message
It appear when I add "as: selectbox" option:
 = simple_form_for :tag, url: '#' do |f|
   = f.input 'ids',
     as: :select,
     collection: @tags,

And lo, across the capital there was much angst, as the Executive Branch did work on an intra-agency basis to draft a cybersecurity executive order. If you had doubts that this effort is a serious endeavor, it's time to let them go. According to a report in The Hill's Hillicon Valley blog, Janet Napolitano, head of the Department of Homeland Security, has stated that the darn thing is almost done.
However, it has to clear the top of the branch, meaning that while progress is being made, the President has yet to sign off on it.
How did we get here? In short, after a cybersecurity bill that the President promised to veto passed the House, and the Senate failed to pass anything, Congress became stuck. It's the general consensus that until 2013, not much can be done on the matter over at the Legislative Branch.
That leaves us with executive action. For a breakdown of the proposed order itself, head here.
Why did I mention angst? Because the party of the Senate minority wishes for a bill more along the lines of what the House majority managed to cram through the lower house of Congress. That won't happen, but hope springs eternal. And with the Senate as gummed and dysfunctional as a molar on a 120 year old smoker, options are slim.
Napolitano again urged Congress to enact comprehensive cybersecurity legislation, arguing the White House cannot completely address the threat on its own. She noted that DHS [Department of Homeland Security] is limited in the number of trained cyber personnel it can hire, which cannot be addressed by an executive order.

Q: Excel VBA-delete string and following line within a cell I need to delete certain strings (e.g. "SUBJECT:", there is a line break after this string), and the entire following line, to and including the next line break, from within multiple cells in Excel.
How can I write a macro for this?
I am guessing it would be
    Cells.Replace What:="Subject:" & Chr(10) & "[ANY TEXT]" & Chr(10), Replacement:="", Lookat:=xlPart, _ SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False, _ ReplaceFormat:=False

A: You'll need to find the starting point and ending point in the string using InStr:

InStr( [start], string, substring, [compare] )

The starting point is found by searching for "Subject:":
startingPoint = InStr( cellValue, "Subject:" )

The End point is the second vbLf (line feed) character after that, so you want to start the second InStr at the starting point plus the length of the first search string (8) plus one:
endingPoint = Instr ( startingPoint + 8 + 1, cellValue, vbLf )

Then put it all together with the Mid function:

Mid(text_string, start_position, Length)

The length will be equal to the ending position minus the starting position.

A: This worked in my case!
Selection.Replace What:="Subject:" & Chr(13) & "*" & Chr(13) & Chr(10), Replacement:="", Lookat:=xlPart, _
    SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False, _
    ReplaceFormat:=False
