The orange numbers at the right bottom of each particle is the degrees of freedom it has. Here are some comments.
Finally, we can make this table.
| Partilces | Higgs | Messengers | Quarks | Leptons |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DoF | 1 | 27 | 72 | 18 |
We can see that the heaviest particle is top quark with a mass of .
If temperature of the universe , all particles should be in relativistic regime and the decay (annihilation) and inverse decay (inverse annihilation) are in equilibrium so all particles contribute to the thermal quantities in a relativistic way.
Then
For convinience, define the following reduced Planck mass
And it’s good to know its value, which is .
We would like to know the relation between expansion and temperature. We already know that the energy density is
So the expansion is
So Hubble function is
As temperature drops down, particle dacay (annihilation) will be greater than its inverse which is suppressed by Boltzmann factor . The decay rate is so quick that the particle will almost dispear before the universe expand a lot.
So when the temperature drops below the mass of a particle, it won’t contribute to the energy density. Their DoF will just dispear.
For example, if , Higgs and W and Z will decay and quarks are combined with gluons. So we only have photons, electrons, neutrinos as elementary particles, that is .
The Hubble function,
We can generally prove that decay rate is much faster than the expansion rate. ............... To be added.
Why is Cosmology Dedicated to Finding Two Parameters Before 90’s
Basically, the cosmology before the 90’s have only two tasks. The first one is to find out the Hubble constant, while the second one is looking for the deceleration parameter.
We don’t rush to define what Hubble constant and deceleration parameter are, but have a look at what observations do at that time.
Astronomers are really good at measuring distances. They have infinite tricky ways to find out some distance.
We can find out how bright a star is by observation. One way to represent the brightness is to use the energy crossed per unit area per unit time at the observer, because this is what our eyes do.
This quantity is related to how much energy was emitted at the star, how far we are from the star. The more energy the star emitted, the brighter it look like. The nearer the star is, the brighter it is. Just like what we feel like with a candle.
This schematic picture shows that energy spread out on a surface because the total energy is conserved. Isotropic energy flux through the same solid angle at different radius must be the same.
Through a very simple calculation, it is as simple as
We are dealing with Cosmology now. The space-time manifold should be a great concern. The luminosity turns out to be
Here d is the physical distance between the star and the observer. L is the absolute luminosity of the star, which stands for the power of the star. z is the redshift of the star.
The first term comes from the fact that the energy of each photon decrease due to expansion of the universe, while the second is the result that the rate of photons arrived at the observer is less.
We are happy to define
then the luminosity becomes simpler,
Now we come back to have a look at this luminosity.
Then we can find out this so called luminosity distance
from some data.
We don’t just do the observation for the luminosity distance itself. We observe to test theories.
What is this distance in theory?
Wait, didn’t we just mention that this is only valid for a flat universe? So we just do some extension.
where R(d) is a function of d and can be determined through geometry,
For nearby objects, we can always use flat geometry and use Taylor expansion at current time for a(t).
Luminosity distance is
where r is the comoving distance and a(t) is the scale factor at time t.
We know
So we are happy to use Taylor expansion around for , and keep only up to the second order of time. And do some substitution with
We then do the same thing on redshift
Finally, we can find out the relation , which leads us to the result we need, .
For very near objects (not as near as our sun of course),
This is a model independent observation and derivation. We can draw a line to represent the case when deceleration parameter is zero, lines higher than this stands for a accelerating universe while lower region show a decelerating universe.
We can show that for a vacuum energy dominated universe, the line would go up and for a matter dominated universe, it would below the zero deceleration line.
In this model independent method, the only two parameters occur are Hubble constant and deceleration parameter .
Angular diameter distance is really useful if we have some standard ruler. Now assume we have a ruler d, we can find out the angle between the two ends of the ruler, by some kind of measurement.
At the same time, we can use magic of math
Now as we already find out what is by a measurement, and we said about the d is a standard ruler, which means we know the length of it very well. Then we can find out the distance , which is the distance between us and the standard ruler.
We can find out this kind of distance, which we will denote it as from now on. What is it for?
A angular diameter distance is the physical distance between us and the standard ruler,
We can use the same trick we used in luminosity distance calculations, and it is easy to find that
Again, the observation is related to only two parameters, Hubble constant and deceleration parameter .
It is hard to imagine that we really have some standard rulers. In fact, we do. They are
Now we can see anything that is only (simply) related to physical or comoving distance can be determined by this trick. The result is that only two cosmological parameters would come in our equation as long as we keep only upper to order two of redshift.
Here another example is the galaxy number count.


Whisky, or whiskey in some contexts, is essentially a distilled spirit from a fermented grain mash (or mashbill), that is then aged in wooden barrels for a period of time. It is through this aging process that whiskies gain their iconic colour, unlike other unaged spirits like gin and vodka.
There are many regions producing whisky nowadays, each with their own character and names. We can see light and harmonious blends of Japanese Whiskies, the wide spectrum of flavours of Scotches or even the sweet vanilla notes of Bourbons. And that's just scratching the surface of the rabbit hole that is whisky.

1. Mysuru’s public transport system smart, people-friendly: World Bank
What World Bank report said?
Mysuru has become the first Indian city to transform its bus services into a safe, efficient and smart system across its entire territory, benefiting both the people and the city.
Project:
The World bank-aided project (Rs. 19 crore) launched in 2012 helped the Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) to install GPS enabled mini-computers above the driver’s seat in each of the city’s 430 buses.
In addition, each bus and bus stop was geo-mapped and tagged, and the details fed into an IT-enabled intelligent system.
How it works:
Now, at the central control room in the heart of the city, a giant screen displays the speed and location of each bus – blinking green, yellow or orange depending on whether a bus is on time, late or early. Moreover, lights splash whenever a driver speeds, accelerates sharply, slams the brakes, or stalls for more than 20 minutes.
The intelligent transport system has not only resulted in a more people-friendly bus service but has also led to smoother operations and considerable savings for the operator
With drivers being more careful, incidents of rash and dangerous driving have also dropped considerably. Besides, women now feel safer using public transport system, even after dark, the World Bank claimed.
KSRTC now saves Rs. 1 crore a year on its city bus operations. Now, the Centre has proposed these projects under the Smart City concept.
Now, the project is worth being emulated in other cities across the country.
1. Two killed as Hurricane Harvey wreaks havoc in Texas
Hurricane Harvey, the most powerful to hit the United States in 13 years, left a trail of destruction as it swept across Texas on Sunday, pummelling the region with heavy rains and claiming at least two lives since making landfall on the US’ Gulf Coast.
Harvey continued to batter Texas as rescuers grappled with heavy rains to reach out to people stranded due to the hurricane.
With winds topping 130 mph, Harvey is the first Category 4 storm to make landfall in the US since Hurricane Charley struck Florida in 2004, and the first to hit Texas since Hurricane Carla in 1961.
Harvey bombarded the stretch of the Gulf Coast in Texas with home-ripping winds and torrential rains.
1. Haryana on alert as Dera chief is set to be sentenced
Curfew has been imposed in Sirsa, where the headquarters of the Dera Sacha Sauda sect is located as a CBI court is set to pronounce on Monday the quantum of sentence against godman Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh convicted on August 25 for raping two women.
Internet lease lines on the premises of Dera Sacha Sauda, Sirsa had been suspended till August 29. Any person found guilty of violation of these orders would be liable for legal action.
Besides, the government has extended the suspension of mobile internet, SMS and data services till August 29.
Since the environment is tense, rumours of different kinds may be spread through broadband and Internet lease lines on the premises of the Dera Sacha Sauda.
The administration in Fatehabad has imposed Section 144 in the district, prohibiting assembly of five or more persons and carrying of firearms and other weapons, till September 18, 2017. It has also warned the people not to gather in Dera Sacha Sauda and ‘naam charcha ghar’ established in the district.
Central Government Act
Section 144 in The Indian Penal Code
144. Joining unlawful assembly armed with deadly weapon.—Whoever, being armed with any deadly weapon, or with anything which, used as a weapon of offence, is likely to cause death, is a member of an unlawful assembly, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to two years, or with fine, or with both.

1. Issues related to H-1B a challenge: Jayapal
Indian-American Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal said though India-U.S. relations had improved, there were many challenges ahead, including issues related to immigration, the H-1B visa programme and foreign policy.
Excerpts of her interview:
Just reacting against H-1Bs and shutting down the programme or restricting the programme would do tremendous harm to the U.S. economy.
As do most Americans, believed immigration was a good thing for the U.S. Unfortunately, the current administration had been putting out a lot of anti-immigration messages, which make it difficult to move a good policy forward.
There was a need to have a system that caters to different needs of the economy but also makes sense to American workers.
India is a big trading partner to the U.S. and is a big potential market. The world’s largest democracy and the world’s oldest democracy are good partners to have together.
Commenting on the democratic processes in the U.S. and France, which faced cyberattacks and where fake news was propagated on social media to impact elections, Ms. Jayapal said that countries such as India should be concerned about cybersecurity and fake news.
1. India facing problem of severe under-employment, says Niti Aayog
Context:
Making a case for promoting highly productive and well paid jobs, Niti Aayog has said that not unemployment but a “severe under-employment” is the main problem facing the country.
In news:
The government think-tank in its three-year action plan, released last week, has said that a focus on the domestic market through an import-substitution strategy would give rise to a group of relatively small firms behind a high wall of protection.
Contrary to some assertions that India’s growth has been ’jobless’, the Employment Unemployment Surveys (EUS) of the National Sample Survey Office (NSSO) has consistently reported low and stable rates of unemployment over more than three decades.
Indeed, unemployment is the lesser of India’s problems. The more serious problem, instead, is severe underemployment.
Need of the hour:
What is needed is the creation of high-productivity, high-wage jobs.
Citing examples of top manufacturing countries like South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore and China, it said, “The ‘Make in India’ campaign needs to succeed by manufacturing for global markets.
Noting that with Chinese wages rising due to an ageing workforce and many large-scale firms in labour-intensive sectors currently manufacturing in that country are looking for lower-wage locations, the Aayog said, “with its large workforce and competitive wages, India would be a natural home for these firms.
Therefore, the time for adopting a manufactures- and exports-based strategy could not be more opportune.
Solutions:
The Aayog in its ‘Three Year Action Agenda’ also recommended for the creation of a handful of Coastal Employment Zones (CEZ), which may attract multinational firms in labour-intensive sectors from China to India.
The presence of these firms will give rise to an ecosystem in which local small and medium firms will also be induced to become highly productive thereby multiplying the number of well-paid jobs.
Making a case for reforming labour laws, the Niti Aayog also noted that recently fixed-term employment has been introduced in the textiles and apparel industry.
This option may be extended to all sectors. The change will encourage employers to rely on regular fixed-term employment instead of contract workers, especially when hiring workers for specific projects or for meeting seasonal demand.
Besides, the Aayog pointed out that unifying the existing large number of labour laws into four codes without reform of the laws themselves will serve little purpose.
Unless we bring about substantive change either by amending the existing laws or rewriting them afresh, we cannot expect to change the current situation where low-productivity and low-wage jobs dominate the landscape.
2. ‘Centre ready to provide capital support for PSU banks’ merger’
In news:
The Finance Ministry is open to providing capital support for facilitating consolidation among state—owned banks, which are reeling under mounting bad loans.
The Union Cabinet has approved the setting up of an alternative mechanism, or a panel of ministers, to decide on consolidation proposals for state-run banks.
The government is keen that at least one merger proposal reaches a logical conclusion by the end of the current fiscal.
There are now 20 public sector banks (PSBs) other than SBI. These state-owned banks are grappling with Rs.6 lakh crore worth of non-performing assets (NPAs) or bad loans, which is about 75% of the total distress.
3. New tax regime to give manufacturing a boost
Advantages of GST:
GST will free the common man from tax terrorism and inspector raj. Besides being a transparent and fair system that will end generation of black money and corruption, GST will promote a new governance culture that will end harassment at the hand of tax officials.
By replacing the old regime of 17-odd indirect levies fragmented at state lines by a single tax; the Indian economy stands to benefit tremendously with a simplified, transparent tax structure that will help reduce discretion, lower litigation and improve ease of doing business thus helping attract foreign direct investment and improving industry competitiveness.
It is estimated that GST may contribute an 80 basis point rise in GDP growth over 3-5 years.
Automobiles
For automobiles, the shift to GST has largely been to the benefit of the industry and the consumer except for certain issues.
The higher GST rate for hybrid vehicles will make them unviable for consumers and will result in petrol and diesel variants being sold instead.
This is not be desirable as hybrids are much more fuel-efficient and environment-friendly vehicles.
Also, levy of tax on used cars at the same rate as for new cars is likely to push this business in the informal sector.
This would negate the Centre’s aim of bringing the unregulated part of this business under the regulated mainstream and also lead to the state losing tax revenue in the process.
As we are still in the early phase of the regime, it is hoped that these and other important issues will be addressed soon.
Destination based tax:
Another important change in the indirect tax system is the shift in the taxable event from the sale, manufacture, provision of service or import in the past, to the supply of goods and/or services under GST.
Further, as the GSTN system matches the details of tax paid by a supplier to the details of credit claimed by the recipient, excess credit claim by the recipient will be disallowed automatically till the time the return is rectified. Thus, the new system motivates recipients to keep a check on suppliers.
Also, the GST-compliance rating system for suppliers has shifted part of the burden of ensuring compliance to the recipient. This, along with technology enablement, will surely improve compliance significantly.
The GST structure has been criticised owing to multiple slabs and high effective peak rate of GST. It has been argued by many that the true spirit of GST has been lost and that a high GST rate will fuel inflation. However, the Government has done well to be pragmatic, remain in touch with ground realities and not get carried away by ambitious expectations. In the present socio-economic context, it is unrealistic to expect a single or a two-tax slab structure.
4. ‘JAM’ will end exclusion: Jaitley
In news:
Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Sunday wrote an article highlighting the benefits of the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana, which has completed three years, saying the combination of the scheme with Aadhaar and the mobile revolution would bring all Indians into the mainstream and would end economic and social exclusion.
JAM, a term coined, and a vision conceptualized, by our Chief Economic Adviser, is nothing short of a social revolution because it has brought together financial inclusion (PMJDY), biometric identification (Aadhaar) and mobile telecommunications.
Today, about 52.4 crore unique Aadhaar numbers are linked to 73.62 crore accounts in India.
The poor will have access to financial services and be cushioned against life’s major shocks. Government finances will be improved because of the reduced subsidy burden; at the same time, government will also be strengthened because it can transfer resources to citizens faster and more reliably and with less leakage.
1. Cloud seeding project hits hurdle
Running a few weeks behind schedule, cloud seeding has hit an unexpected hurdle: Permissions from numerous Air Traffic Control (ATC) towers that dot the Bengaluru city.
Basic Information:
Cloud Seeding: Cloud seeding is a form of weather modification, a way of changing the amount or type of precipitation that falls from clouds, by dispersing substances into the air that serve as cloud condensation or ice nuclei, which alter the microphysical processes within the cloud. The most common chemicals used for cloud seeding include silver iodide, potassium iodide and dry ice (solid carbon dioxide). Liquid propane, which expands into a gas, has also been used.
2. ‘Bonnet monkey may soon be endangered’
Researchers have found that the common bonnet monkey of South India may soon become an ‘endangered’ species.
They say the distributional range of this monkey is shrinking in eastern Maharashtra, northern parts of Karnataka, and western Telangana because of the slow incursion of the larger, more aggressive rhesus monkey from the northern region.
3. Lantana removal under MNREGA from next week
In news:
A project envisaging the conversion of the invasive weed, lantana camara, in the BRT wildlife sanctuary into fuel briquette and generating employment and profit for local community is poised for launch early next week in Chamarajanagar.
The project aims to generate jobs under Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA).
4. Greater flamingos paint a pretty picture in Ballari
In news:
The ancient Kamalapur tank built by the Vijayanagar kings near Hampi and also at Hallikere, a tank adjacent to Kannada University, is a visual treat for passers-by.
They have been lucky to get a glimpse of the greater flamingos, which have flocked, albeit in small numbers, from a close vicinity.
Ballari district and the surrounding areas, particularly the backwaters of Tungabhadra dam, are a haven for quite a few migratory birds.
The greater flamingos:
The greater flamingos, known for their majestic looks, migrate from Rann of Kutch in Gujarat during winter.
They are known to congregate at Pulicat lake in Tamil Nadu and migrate back to Gujarat after winter. Since Ballari district has many waterbodies, it has become a transit point for the birds.
5. Ocean forecasting system unveiled
The Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS) of the Ministry of Earth Sciences inaugurated the Ocean Forecasting System for Comoros, Madagascar, and Mozambique at the third Ministerial Meeting of Regional Integrated Multi-Hazard Early Warning System for Asia and Africa (RIMES), held at Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea, on Friday.
The ocean forecast and early warming information on high wave, currents, winds, tides, sub-surface ocean conditions cater to users like fishermen, coastal population, tourism sector, coastal defence officials, marine police, port authorities, research institutions and offshore industries of these countries.
Applications:
These ocean services are aimed towards safety at the sea.
The system would offer oil spill advisory services, high wave alerts, port warnings, forecast along the ship routes in addition to tsunami and storm surge warnings and help in search and rescue operations.
The INCOIS has already been providing these operational services to the Maldives, Sri Lanka and Seychelles.
The ocean forecast and early warning services were most essential for safe navigation and operations at sea and the blue economic growth of many of these Indian Ocean rim countries and island nations.

"Here you are."


A common advertising jingle, usually among local businesses, in which the phone number of the service is sung. This makes it much easier to remember than if it were simply spoken. These jingles tend to be quite catchy.
This may also be combined with a Spelling Song. Sub-trope to Telephone Song.
Real Life Examples:
open/close all folders
Europe
Romania
- In 2018,Romanian TV had a commercial for a taxi service named Street Taxi,which used this jingle (translated into English):"9-4-6-5,Street Taxi is here".
- Directory Assistance hotline "11833" once set their number ("Elf-Acht-Drei-Drei") to the tune of YMCA.
- Hastings Direct: "oh-eight-hundred-double-oh, ten-sixty-six".
- Not strictly an advertisement as it was shown on a BBC children's programme, but still... Oh-One, Eight-One, Eight-One-One... EIGHT-ONE, EIGHT ONE!
- Also from the UK, every Christmastime in the late 1980s and early 1990s, ITV regional station Yorkshire Television ran a Christmas Line service providing information on services open during the holidays, advertised with a phone number jingle: Ring YTV's Christmas Line on Leeds Double-Four-Eight-One-Nine-Nine!
- In the early '80s, BBC Radio One had one: "Call oh-one, five-eight-oh, double-four, double-one!"
- One-One-Eight-Twenty Four-Seven, give us a call, it's directory heaven...
- CITV in the late '90s-early '00s: "oh-nine-oh double-one ten fifty, ten".
- The podcast Answer Me This has a few.
North America
Canada
- Toronto, Ontario-based pizza chain "Pizza Pizza" has its immortal jingle: "nine-six-seven, eleven-eleven! Phone Pizza Pizza, hey-hey-hey!" Since it has different phone numbers in various Ontario locations, the first three jingles change accordingly to fit the region, but the "11-11" bit remains the same for all.
- Pizza Nova has a jingle that goes "Four-three-nine bumpa bumpa Pizza Nova!" In various cities, the rest is filled in with numbers.
- PEI Tourism ran an ad in the 1970s with a jingle by Stompin' Tom Connors that said to call "Eight double zero, five six five, seven four two one."
- Nova Scotia-based Pizza chain Greco Pizza had two different jingles for the same number, "three one oh three oh three oh", and the current and more faster paced "three ten thirty thirty". View here.
- The now-obscure 90's Canadian show Tell A Tale Town was possibly the earliest example of this trope being done for the show's official website. It can be heard at the beginning of this clip.
- Quebec-based movers Le Clan Panneton are notorious in the province for having a rather cheesy choir jingle based around their phone number, complete with DTMF tones:
Le Clan Panneton, pour déménager, faut signaler le 937-0707! Translation
USA
- The Trope Codifier is Empire Carpet (now Empire Today): "Five Eight Eight, Two Three Hundred, Empiiiiiire!" When the business went from local to national, "800" was tacked onto the beginning (though the building myriad of Chicagoland area codes in The '90s eventually did that to the local ads in any case). Once the name changed to "Empire Today," the spoken word "Today" was added at the end.
- "Eight oh oh, three two five, three five, three five" — a popular Sheraton Hotels number.
- Jenny Craig has a phone number jingle: "1-800-JENNY20".
- Or, for those who grew up in the '90s, "1-800-94JENNY".
- This actually changed every year up to 2000 (95JENNY, 96JENNY, etc.). And the number was actually sung as "Jenny 2000" in that year, though the number was technically the current JENNY20.
- "One Eight Seven Seven KARS FOR KIDS, K-A-R-S KARS FOR KIDS!" (Kars for Kids charity)
- This one was so pervasive and, to many, abrasive, that The Good Place shows it to be the national anthem...of Hell.
- "Eight Six Six, Sixty Six FASTER, You've got the Green Light!" (Green Light Financial)
- If you get long term payments but you need cash now, call J. G. Wentworth, 877-CASH NOW! (J.G. Wentworth Financial)
- While not exactly a commercial, Glenn Miller and his Orchestra's "Pennsylvania 6-5000" immortalized the phone number of the Hotel Pennsylvania, which has been in continuous use since the 1930's — the oldest operating phone number in New York according to the hotel.
- 1-800-Collect gave us "C-O-L-L-E-C-T, save a buck or two or three!" This lasted only two commercials, most likely because the jingle was too similar to AT&T's advertising campaign for 1-800-CALL-ATT (which also spells out the letters of its phone number, only without a jingle).
- Boushelle upolstery cleaning: Hudson 3-2 700!
- An old ad for a 900 number that gave sports scores and whatnot:<PHONE_NUMBER>! Done as a cheer.
- Next Day Floors, we come to you! Call eight hundred, nine one six, six one one two!
- In Northern Ohio, if you needed aluminum siding, it was "Garfield One, Two-Three-Two-Three; Garfield One, Two-Three-Two-Three!"
- In San Diego, ASI Heating and Air Conditioning uses the following jingle in its commercials:
Call ASI the White Glove Guys! 1-800-481 COOL!
- Another San Diego business, Corky's Pest Control, is known for their goofy TV ads and absolutely ubiquitous radio jingle:
Corky's Pest Control— we're here for you! Call 1-800, 9-oh-1, 1-1-oh-2! (Corky's!)
- 773-202 or 877-241...(beep boop beep boop)...LUNA! (bong)
- Up until the mid-2000's, a different jingle was used in Spanish-language ads: "Tres ochenta cuatro, sesenta y uno dieciseis!"
- Buffalo, NY's Cellino and Barnes law firm. "Cellino and Barnes/The Injury Attorneys/Call eight-five-four twenty twenty!"
- Similar to the Trope Codifying Empire example above, when they expanded their business, the jingle became:
"Cellino and Barnes/Injury Attorneys/Eight-hundred six-two-one twenty twenty!"- And now it's "Call 888-8888" or "800-888-8888", with the slogan "Don't wait, call 8".
- Similarly, Dial 7 Car Service has the number 777-7777 and a variety of jingles in different musical styles. "Dial seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven times".
- Dial-a-Mattress: "One eight hundred, M-A-T-T-R-E-S!".
- Don't forget to leave off the last "S" for "savings"!
- The 1970's PBS children's show ZOOM provides an extremely rare example of this being done to a mailing address instead of a phone number. It starts with everyone rhythmically speaking "Write Zoom, Z-double-O-M, box three-five-oh, Boston, Mass..." then everyone singing the five-note Zip Code jingle "Oh-two-one-three-four!" The 1990's revival carried the torch for a while, before it was changed in the last couple of seasons to the PBS Kids email address.
- Another notable mailing address example that most '90s kids could probably still recite to this day: Scruff Mc Gruff, Chicago, Illinois, six-oh-six-five-two!
- A commercial for Cablevision's Optimum Triple Play package had a reggaeton-style jingle, featuring women dressed as mermaids chanting the phone number: "Eight seven seven, three nine three, four... four... four... eight!"
- "One-five-nine, twenty-two, twenty-two... and get your Gatti's pizza delivered to you!" It was sung by a group of girls for a while, before becoming a simple guitar piece.
- "Call USA-1000! Jhoon Rhee Means Might for Right!" Almost any native of the Washington, DC metropolitan area who grew up in the '70s or '80s knows (what was) the number for the Jhoon Rhee Self-Defense Taekwondo schools, thanks to their long-running and memorable TV ads. The jingle for the ad, believe it or not, was written by Nils Lofgren, guitarist for the E Street Band. He wrote it in exchange for free lessons.
- "Call One-Eight Hundred Steemer! Stanley Steemer gets carpets cleaner!" (Current version: "Stanley Steemer gets your home cleaner!")
- A bit more local, but some in the Midwest U.S. may recognize this insurance jingle for United Auto. "773-202-5000 we've got you covered, Chicago"
- There's also "866-590-CASH, Cash Call *cha-ching*"
- Not quite a jingle but 0800 106 107 ''NOW!''
- In a weird overlap with Repurposed Pop Song, the Tommy Tutone hit "867-5309/Jenny" is sometimes used as a jingle by those businesses fortunate (or quick) enough to snag the number. Probably the best-known example of this is Benjamin Franklin plumbing services, which actually has a national 1-800 number.
"Benny's a punctual plumber, get me that Benny on the line. 866, that's his prefix, then 867-5309."
- 1-800-45-CLOSET, CLOSET WORLD!
- Anyone from Las Vegas, Nevada knows that Glen Lerner is the way to go. (Call 877-1500!)
- Alternatively, it's 222-2222 in the Chicagoland Area.
- In Phoenix Lerner and Rowe is the way to go, call 977-1900!
- In North Alabama there's an attorney whose jingle is, "Charles Pitman is the way to go! Call five-three-three five-oh-oh- oh!"
- Wichita, Kansas' Starlite Drive-in has a jingle to fit the feel of a drive in movie theater. "The Starlite Drive-In gives you more! Call 524-2424!"
- "tap tap tap Call one eight hundred, four, Mr. Roof! (Mr. Roof!)"
- There's actually regional and state variants of this one... That's just the Michigan version of it
- The General auto insurance had "Call now, call now! For the best car insurance rates in town, call 1-800-GENERAL now!" However, as the Internet became more popular, they switched to ads promoting the benefit of their website, with a new jingle sung to the same basic tune, "For a great low rate you can get online, go to The General and save some time!"
- Similarly, Safe Auto insurance once had the jingle "Pick up the phone, the call is free! 1-800-SAFE-AUTO! Play it safe, Safe Auto!" These days, they don't emphasize the phone number so much and the new slogan, which doesn't have a tune associated with it, is "Call, click and enjoy the road ahead."
- For a time in the '90s and early-2000s, California insurance company Cost-U-Less Insurance ran ads featuring the jingle "For the rate that's best, call Cost-U-Less! 800-390-SAVE!"
- Louisville, Kentucky plumber Tom Drexler actually uses his name as his business phone number... and has a jingle to match.
"Call the plumber whose name is his number! 1-TOM-DREXLER,note that's his number, yeah!"
- The main switchboard line for the Indy Star, Indianapolis's newspaper, is "four four four forty-four forty-four".
- Before they and Stricklands were just given mentions in Mount Airy Lodge commercials, the Poconos Gardens Lodge had an ad with "Two two six, o eight four one! The Poconos Gardens Lodge!" as the jingle.
- In the southwestern Ohio area, there's "4-4-4 4-4-4-4, call Blake Maislin!"note
Oceania
Australia
- "Lube Mobile will come to you! Thirteen thirty thirty-two!"
- Australian example: the Reading Writing Hotline (one three double oh! six triple fiiive oh six). At a post on tumblr put it: "Every Australian knows three phone numbers off by heart: their home number, their mobile number, and the Reading Writing Hotline."
New Zealand
- In New Zealand, Pizza Hut is well known for a particularly catchy phone number jingle:
Ooooh-eight-hundred, 83, 83, 83! Pick up, Pizza Hut!
Other
Russia
- 8-800-555-35-35 ("Domashniye den'gy", a microloan company) ad song has become a meme in Russia.
Fictional Examples:
- In Red vs. Blue, Vic made one up for calling him, but it pretty much failed as it didn't rhyme and wasn't very catchy.
- Hilariously parodied in The IT Crowd: The new emergency number is 0118 999 881 999 119 725 3
- Homestar Runner: "Senor Mortgage" ends with a comically long jingle for Senor Cardgage's financial services company.
Get a leg up on the pile, and refinance your dreams
Come along down and dial 555-55-55855-55-5-SENOR-MORT-GAGE-TODAY! - In the Simpsons episode where Homer becomes "Mr. Plow", Barney Gumble starts competing as the "Plow King", and enlists Linda Ronstadt to sing this jingle:
''When the snow starts a-falling,There's a man you should be calling.That's K-L-five, four seven-nine-six! (Let it ring!)''
- Monty Python did a fiction commercial for Shrill petrol with the miracle additive GLC 942-4075 (after 6 PM, 942-4047).
- Not advertising, but on an episode of Cheers, Fraser's son Frederick is given a teddy bear that repeats a jingle with a former girlfriend of Fraser's phone number (ostensibly so Frederick can use a similar jingle to remember his own phone number). Lilith (Fraser's then-wife) rips off the bears head.
- In I'm a Marvel... and I'm a DC, Deadpool has one for ordering a "Team Wade" t-shirt. Unfortunately, Deadpool's name exceeds the seven number limit.
1-300-DEADPOO... Because "Deadpool" has one too many letters. Seriously, we're not trying to be juvenile, it just turned out that way! Boom.

Our project is a research project in the digital humanities field, and it took place under the guidance of Dr. Yael Netzer in the Digital Humanities Course in the BGU University of The Negev.
This project was intended to try something that has never been done before: applying Sentiment Analysis (a language processing technique) to a work of arts, specifically a movie, therefore combining the digital world with the world of the humanities, just like the course intended. Our project is a creative project, and it's goal is to be a cool tool for people to use, but also to show how accurate (or not sometimes) textual analysis can be, and how important (or not sometimes) is non verbal communication in our society.
We developed this project using Flask - a python web development library, with the help of Bootstrap, Jquery and the Highcharts library to enhance the UI and user experience. Searching the movies was done through the TMDB movie API, and we downloaded the subtitles from the OpenSubtitles API. The sentiment analysis of the subtitles was done with TextBlob, and scoring algorithm and relative grading was achieved with the help of a small PostgreSQL database and Welford's Online Algorithm for calculating a running mean and standard deviation (further credits are in the source code).
We are Guy Shuster, Ori Benami and Tomer Elgavish, and we hope you enjoy!
In this section, we will try to explain how our algorithm works. It is pretty complex as a whole, but when simplified and divided into sub-components you should get it right away. The sub components we are referring to are:
These all get called in the specified order (from top to bottom), and stop only if there is an exception along the way.
This component is pretty straightforward. It receives a movie name that the user types in the UI, and calls the search on the TMDB API with that name, and returns a dictionary of movie related data such as the image, plot, genre, release date and the IMDB ID that will be used later by the following components.
After the movie results are presented to the user and he chooses the movie he wants to analyze, the server calls the Open Subtitles API with the IMDB ID of the chosen movie, and picks the subtitle file that was most highly ranked and makes sure it's format is correct and that it is in the English language. If the component can't find a subtitle of the chosen movie or if the download fails for some reason, an exception is thrown to the UI.
This component is the heart of all our work. It uses TextBlob, which is a well known and easy to use
python library for processing textual data,
and has sentiment analysis support in particular, which is exactly what we
needed.
There are 4 major steps:
The first step is where the algorithm reads the downloaded srt file, and saves it as an array of tuples. Each tuple is constructed of the subtitle text, and the start time and end time of that text. It's important to note that subtitles don't have constant time intervals.
In the next step, we programmatically create an array of constant time intervals (default length is 2 minutes per interval). If we didn't go through this process, the subtitle scores might have been very unstable and unevenly distributed, and we don't want that to happen.
The third step is a combination of the first two. For each time interval created in step 2, we collect the text that "fits" that interval from step 1, and save the new tuples in a similar manner.
After all the previous steps, this one is pretty straightforward. All we do here is create a TextBlob object out of the collected text of each interval from the previous step, and save the result for future use.
This is where all the magic happens. If you arrived here from the main page, please catch up on the previous sections.
When we first started designing the front page, we realized that showing a graph and an average score of some movie is not the best option from a user experience perspective, and we need to show something more tangible as a main result of the algorithm. That's where we came up with the 5 grade system, and that's where things started to get a bit complicated.
We knew that the algorithm must give us an average score from -1 to 1 per movie. The first instinct
was to divide this interval into 5 even lengths, and let the movie score fall into the appropriate
one. This is pretty reasonable, but not at all accurate in our case,
because unfortunately the movie average scores are not at all evenly distributed across this
interval.
Apparently the average sentiment movie scores are very unpredictable, and have their own scale.
We needed to find a way to grade a new movie based on all/some of the movies searched before it.
After we did some thinking, we were able to translate our problem to a much simpler one.
Imagine a class of students that went through a really hard test, and the average of their scores was
30/100.
You are the teacher and you can't fail all of the students because you'll get fired, and so you must
divide their scores in a fair manner into a five grade system.
See the resemblance yet? the movie scores we get from the algorithm are the students with the bad
grades, and whe UI is the teacher that has to show a score ranging from 1 to 5 to the user.
This is called Relative
Grading,
and all of it can be done only if the data is normally distributed.
Skew: 0.065351559550138
Kurtosis: 0.3434370467550383
Shapiro-Wilk: W: 0.9965498447418213 p=0.6612211465835571
In the diagram above you can see the histogram of the IMDB's top 250 movies, graded for sentiment by our algorithm. It looks pretty normally distributed, but we had to verify that mathematically. We performed 3 tests on the data, calculating it's skew, kurtosis and even performed a Shapiro-Wilk test on it to be completely sure. The skew and kurtosis are close to zero, and the p value in the Shapiro-Wilk test greater than 0.05. Knowing that the data of 250 movies is normally distributed, we may assume that more movies won't change that fact and proceed to the next and final step - the grading itself.
The idea of what we are doing here is simple. Our website has a small PostgreSQL database, that can store up to 10,000 of the lastly searched movies on this website. Every time a user logs into our website, we calculate the mean and standard deviation of the whole history of movies (two values needed for relative grading) we saved in the database, and attach these values to the user's session. When the user searches a new movie, we add that score to the whole history of 10,000 movies searched on the website, and give it a score from 1 to 5 with relevance to that history of movie scores. It's important to note that the database behaves like a queue of maximum 10,000 values, but that is only because of the restrictions of our plan on the Heroku platform.
Response time and application scaling were important to us, so we had to find a proper way to calculate
the two main values we need for grading on a
curve - the mean
and the standard
deviation.
The mean is simple to calculate in an online running manner, but a standart deviation is a whole
different story.
We were lucky to find the
Welford's Online Algorithm to help us with that fact.
If we didn't have that algorithm, we would have to calculate a mean of approximately 10,000 values
fetched from a remote database
(assuming that the application won't grow bigger than that someday) on each user request for a new movie
- not very efficient.
With the help of that algorithm, we are able to crate a sort of image of the database in our volatile
memory of the program itself, and add movie scores to it as we go, without referencing the database
itself until the user session expires or until the main page is reloaded.
We are pretty confident that this method is pretty unique for this field, since we haven't seen it used anywhere in our prior research. The same method can be used for analyzing and grading movie reviews for example, or any other kinds of reviews for that matter, which are more common around the sentiment analysis field.

Nine-Year-Old Laurent Simons Who Has an IQ of 145 Graduated from University
Nine-year-old Laurent Simons of Belgium has an IQ of 145 and will become the world's youngest undergraduate student, Daily Mail reports. The boy is due to graduate next month at Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands. with a major in Electrical Engineering, having completed the entire training course in just nine months.
Laurent receives invitations from the best universities in the world to pursue his master's degree. "Oxford and Cambridge are also our primary focus," his parents say. The boy is compared to Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking. Laurent can also speak four languages. He graduated high school when he was eight years old after taking the entire curriculum for 18 months. His grandparents first noticed his unique abilities.
“Laurent’s absorption capacity is very high, which means that everything goes much faster, and we can cover a lot more material in a short span of time,” said Peter Baltus, a professor of integrated electronics at the university who is the boy’s mentor. “It’s been quite special and enjoyable.”
If all goes well and he completes his final project — about a brain-connected electrical chip — he will walk out a graduate in December, The Independent reported.
“Then, I want to study medicine, and do a PhD and make artificial organs,” he said.

This is my own version of the oreo microwave mug cake. This chocolaty treat is truly great for nights when I need a yummy dessert that is ready in less than 7 minutes! The reason it is perfect is you can have it for breakfast and also as a night snack. The times when I have a sweet tooth but don't want to overload myself with an entire chocolate cake; not that I can't finish it but I am afraid that I would have to live with the shame. For such times, I need something small, single serving and guilt free - the solution is MUG Cake.
back to topIngredients
- All purpose Flour - 1/4 cup
- Granulated sugar - 2 Tablespoons
- Baking powder - 1 Teaspoon
- Salt - a pinch

I'm a post-doctoral researcher in the MOD group of the mechanical engineering department at the KU Leuven. My research focusses on efficient modeling for (nonlinear) mechanical applications. These models are being applied both in forward simulation and inverse problems (like design optimization and state-estimation).
I completed my bachelor and master in Mechanical Engineering at the KU Leuven. I received my PhD on model reduction for flexible multibody simulation from the KU Leuven as well. During my PhD I spent six months at the LIM group from the University of A Coruna in Spain working on state/input/parameter estimation for mechanical systems. I also spent eight months at the Farhat Research Group at Stanford University during my post-doctoral scholarship, working on local model order reduction for (nonlinear) mechanical models.
In the near future I will host several of the research codes I am using on my Github. These codes should be sufficient to recreate the results from my (new) papers. This code can be reused and altered by anyone interested to do so (in exchange for a mere acknowledgement).

Stuart Little (1999)
A Film Essay by Mark O'Hara
Visit Online Film Critics Society at http://www.ofcs.org
Here's how E,B. White's sharply written yet slightly surreal "Stuart Little" starts: "When Mrs. Frederick C. Little's second son arrived, everybody noticed that he was not much bigger than a mouse."
Director Rob Minkoff's film of the same name preserves the premise of a mouse being raised as part of a human family (though the movie Littles get their Stuart from an orphanage). This premise, by the way, is virtually the only aspect of the novel that viewers will spot. We are treated to assorted amusing adventures starring a very likable and cute computer-made mouse, but it is not E.B. White's story.
The Whites (Geena Davis and Hugh Laurie) bring home the striking addition to their family, only to discover that their real son George (Jonathan Lipnicki) rejects Stuart as his brother. To make the mouse's new situation worse, the family cat Snowbell (voice of Nathan Lane) would relish killing him; Snowbell is especially put off by the idea that he is the pet of a mouse who has become a member of the family.  That is, until Stuart commences to encourage George to finish building a model boat, and to enter the boat in the Central Park race.
Bearing probably the closest resemblance to White's plot, the boat race scene sports some of the best action in the picture. When the remote control for George's boat is broken, Stuart appoints himself pilot of the "Wasp," and goes against the boats controlled by several other little boys, particularly a dirty-playing snob who rams his "Lillian B. Womrath" against the boats of unsuspecting competitors. This is the scene that brings Stuart and George into the bonds of brotherhood.
The main conflict reverts to the cat. He enlists the help of the freeloading Monty, who in turn enlists a wicked city cat named Smoky (voice of Chazz Palminteri). Their object? To "scratch out" Stuart. The action engendered by this subplot occupies most of the second half of the film, and succeeds largely because of the mix of likable characters and top-notch computer animation.
One thing that does appear is White's sudden, lovable absurdity. We accept that this mouse can carry on a cultured conversation, just as we accept that humans suspend their disbelief whenever they are around Stuart. The film moves at a rapid clip, in the same way that E. B. White's prose style skips along fluently, albeit a bit absent-mindedly.
I say "absent-mindedly" because White's "Little" cannot hold a candle to his "Charlotte's Web"; both books are full of whimsy and character - which one can't say about most children's movies - but "Web" has a much more linear (and recognizable) plot. So screenwriters Greg Brooker and M. Night Shyamalan had precious little to go on as they set out to convert this beloved, quirky story into what they hope is a popular money-making film. What they left out includes a major narrative catalyst: the bird Margalo, who is saved by Stuart and who in turn saves Stuart, is gone from the story. Instead Stuart spends more time with the family, mostly with "brother" George, and with the cats that are trying to tear him apart.
Oddly, the film succeeds despite its mixing of old and new plotting. A lot of White's charm is still there, with the slight flavor of 1945 New York, the setting for the original. This is not a literal 1940's background, but a mythical one, represented by Mr. White's tweed clothing, by the Little's tiny gingerbread house dwarfed by skyscrapers, and by the scent of gentility and manners that tints the characters' interaction. The film is set in the present but not really. And the elements added by Brooker and Shyamalan, along with director Minkoff (one half of the directorial team that crafted Disney's "The Lion King") serve as nifty twists and engaging - though frequently sentimental - spin.
As the voice of the mouse, Michael J. Fox gives a winning edge of character. Stories about the making of the film tell how difficult it was to imbue Stuart with emotions - considering that mice do not have pupils! Well, Fox lends wonderful inflection, while the computer animators construct amazing subtlety in all of the mouse's doings. His facial muscles shape his eyes and smile with amazing emotive traits, while a computerized "skeleton" conveys life-like movements.
Jonathan Lipnicki is fine as the boy George. He fulfills his role convincingly, though he occasionally seems to be waiting for cues. As his mother, Geena Davis creates a typically protective mom, her face drawing tight into smiles or collapsing into tears at command. Davis still has her off-center beauty, though it is tempered here by a modest hairstyle. In many ways, Hugh Laurie resembles the father of "Dennis the Menace," both in his prim garb and in the rascally charges for whom he must provide a fatherly example. Laurie again proves himself a dependable character actor.
Other voices include Chazz Palminteri as Smoky, the cat that commands a feline underground. Bruno Kirby's mild raspiness flows smoothly from the lips of Mr. Stout, Stuart's fake father-mouse, while Jennifer Tilly does wonders for the big-hearted mouse floozy posing as Stuart's mother. Nathan Lane loads any role with character, and his Snowbell brims with conflicted compassion. Further, a band of familiar character actors playing Little relatives give the background a plush lining.
Bringing "Stuart Little" to the screen was a bold move, and the special effects are much of what make the film so watchable. Who would not smile to see Stuart's broad smile? It's like seeing a padded version of Garth Williams' masterly illustrations. My eleven year-old read the book recently, and encouraged me to reread it: this is another plus, by the way, of Hollywood adaptations of classic books - it gives them renewed life. Who would enjoy this film? Kids, first of all. Then anyone else who enjoys classic conflicts and the latest in computer animation, down to amazing shadows, reflections and indentations caused by weight. But if you are out for a strict interpretation of E. B. White, this film may not leave you pleased.

ABSOLUTE POWER A film review by Steve Rhodes Copyright 1997 Steve Rhodes
RATING (0 TO ****): ** 1/2
In ABSOLUTE POWER, master jewel thief Luther Whitney (Clint Eastwood) is not having a good day.
When his estranged daughter, Kate (Laura Linney), asks him to meet her, he suspects it's a trap but goes anyway.  Director Clint Eastwood is a master as well, and the carefully choreographed sequence of Luther's converging enemies is the best part of the picture. Even if the end result is predictable, the elements of his escape are not.
Earlier in the film Luther pulls off a big heist at the four story mansion of Walter Sullivan (E. G. Marshall). While there, the President of the United States, Alan Richmond (Gene Hackman), arrive for a secret tryst with Walter's wife Christy (Melora Hardin). The president is into sex tinged with violence. When things go awry, Secret Service agents Bill Burton (Scott Glenn) and Tim Collin (Dennis Haysbert) murder Christy. The president's Chief of Staff, Gloria Russell (Judy Davis), decides they will make it look as though a burglar murdered Christy. Soon the President's people and others are out to get Luther.
Thrillers like this hinge on the ability of the audience to buy the story's logic. Even if they have to suspend disbelief some, they want it to be within some parameters of reason. ABSOLUTE POWER pushes these limits of credibility. Although there are many of these implausible events throughout the story, let me just give a couple of early examples.
"Your life could be a whole lot simpler if you could learn to operate a VCR," says bartender Red (Mark Margolis) to his friend Luther. Since Luther can crack safes and foil sophisticated security systems, he must smart enough to able to program his own VCR. In this story Luther suffers from highly selective brilliance.
William Goldman's screenplay, based on David Baldacci's novel, does not know where to stop. Where along the following continuum does plausibility go out the window?
I usually stick to reviewing films as written, but I will break my pattern for this movie. They could have easily made the President's character more credible. He could have been having a single affair where something went wrong, and the woman died. The cover-up could then have started simple but gotten out of hand without the overly massive and sinister overtones of ABSOLUTE POWER.
Besides the ridiculousness of the plot, some of the acting is terrible. Embarrassingly bad as the President, Hackman wastes his great talent on a poorly written character. Judy Davis overacts so much that her part becomes a parody. She could easily have been replaced by Martin Short doing his comedic shtick.
Along with the disastrous parts of the film, there are several promising subplots. Luther and his grown daughter Kate touch our hearts with the possible reuniting of a dysfunctional family. He tells sadly her, "You're the only family I have." To which she retorts bitterly, "Luther, you don't have me."
The best subplot, and regretfully the least developed one, has Ed Harris as police Detective Seth Frank. Detective Frank cannot figure out all the inconsistencies in the burglary and murder at Goldman's. When Detective Frank first confronts Luther about the crime, Luther tells him he could not have done it since the thief left by scaling a four story building. "Go down a rope in the middle of the night?" laughs Luther. "If I could do that, I'd be the star of my AARP meetings." At the end of the interview, Luther tells him, "I've got to go have my pacemaker checked, it has been so exciting talking to you."
Some of the acting is exceptional albeit relatively wasted. Harris, Eastwood, Glenn, and Linney are all wonderful, but as soon as you get interested in their characters, the script insults your intelligence again.
This frustrating film finally comes to an satisfying ending, but one that wraps up the loose ends all too neatly.
ABSOLUTE POWER runs too long at 2:00. It is rated R for blood, violence, rape, murder, and profanity. Most teenagers should be able to handle the picture. (We were astounded that there was a 5 or 6 year old girl behind us.  What kind of parents would subject their child to that?) The film gets a mixed review from me, but the good slightly outweighs the bad so I give it thumbs up and ** 1/2.
**** = A must see film. *** = Excellent show. Look for it. ** = Average movie. Kind of enjoyable. * = Poor show. Don't waste your money. 0 = Totally and painfully unbearable picture.

Make your cheese board extra special with James Martin's indulgent recipe.
For the deep-fried cheese, preheat a deep fat fryer to 190C. Alternatively, heat the oil in a heavy-based, deep-sided pan until a breadcrumb sizzles and turns golden-brown when dropped into it. (CAUTION: hot oil can be dangerous; do no leave unattended.).
Cut the some of the cheese into chunks. Coat the chunks in the flour, then dip in the eggs and dredge in the breadcrumbs. Place in the fryer, in batches if necessary, and cook until golden-brown. Remove and drain on kitchen paper, season with sea salt.
For the salad, make a syrup by heating the sugar with 100ml/3½fl oz water until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to the boil and add the walnut halves and cayenne pepper. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
In a frying pan or sauté pan, heat the rapeseed oil until hot. Shallow fry the walnuts until crisp (approximately 30 seconds), then drain on kitchen paper.
Chop half of the celery into small chunks, and slice the remainder into 5cm/2in long strips. Place the olive oil and baby gem leaves into a bowl, then add the celery strips. Toss the celery to coat in the oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the celery chunks and remaining salad ingredients, including the walnuts into a bowl and mix well.
For the mayonnaise, place the egg yolks, mustard and white wine vinegar in a food processor and blend.
With the processor still running, slowly pour in the sunflower oil and olive oil, drop by drop at first, then faster as the mixture thickens, alternating between the two oils as you go. Continue blending until all the oil is incorporated and a thick mayonnaise is formed. Transfer the mayonnaise to a clean bowl and season with salt and pepper.
Just before serving, add the mayonnaise to the salad and mix well.
For the mango and quince sauce, place the chutney and paste into a small food processor and blend until smooth.
Place the hot deep fried cheese on a serving board with the cold cheese. Serve the salad and sauce alongside.

I think this was one of the coolest things we've done yet. It was really fun and satisfying how we coded lights to flash. We used an arduino program with a knockoff arduino uno. We learned where the wires go and what they do. Their purpose. We also learned how to the programing works and how to alter the blinking lights, and to respond to buttons. I look forward to understanding more of it and maybe learn to program more than just lights.


Description: Selects element if it is currently focused.
As with other pseudo-class selectors (those that begin with a ":"), it is recommended to precede :focus
with a tag name or some other selector; otherwise, the universal selector ("*") is implied. In other words, the bare $(':focus')
is equivalent to $('*:focus')
. If you are looking for the currently focused element, $( document.activeElement )
will retrieve it without having to search the whole DOM tree.

I mean Battle Feed on your main profile page. It takes quite a lot of time to delete all those posts on forums, etc. I like option to disable whole feed, but then players won't see my lastest Battle reports which is quite irritating. Thanks!

Thats not possible with Better Battlelog.
For this change you have to contact the DICE Webdev Team.


When you start using the HUD no pages will be in scope, so the icon will always be grey. To add or remove the current site from scope click on the scope tool. The scope icon will change to: when you are viewing a URL that is in scope.
The HUD will only allow you to use tools like the spider and active scanner on sites that are in scope. The scope tool also makes it easy to see when you navigate off your target site.
