ברית אזורים תאומות

More stupid grammar. The writers in the KY paper fail in taking apart a simple Hebrew idiom, and replacing one word.

Can someone please explain to me, why Kadane's Algorithm returns the correct results? How do you prove it works for all sets of numbers?

What's wrong with these people? If you don't know Hebrew, don't publish a newspaper.

Strange words, but good effort nonetheless.

A story told by my colleague Yuri, who is originally from Moldova. A few years ago he was visiting some family back in Moldova, and was going through the routine checks upon entering the country at the international airport. The checks were very thorough - the man at the customs insisted on opening every suitcase, handbag, and package, and inspecting everything by hand. The checks had been in progress for over 20 minutes, when the customs man suddenly proposed - "would you like to switch to the quick search procedure"? Yuri said he had all the time in the world, and refused to give in to the obvious extortion attempt. After another 15 minutes of fruitless checking the man proposed again "are you sure you don't want the quick procedure"? At this point Yuri said, "no, thank you, but look at all these people standing in line, maybe some of them might be interested". At that point Yuri's idea was accepted, and the check was successfully concluded.

4/9/12 10:20 pm - Mine is bigger than yours.

Went on an organized tour of the Old City of Jerusalem yesterday. The tour touched some the off-beat holy places, such as the Western Wall tunnels, the Temple Mount, the Abbey of Dormition, the tomb of King David, etc. After we had gone up Temple Mount and wandered around the vast paved platform, our guide shared a little story. (The place is controlled by the Waqf, and the issue of Jews going up the mountain makes them a bit queasy. Well, tough luck for them). In any case, the story goes like this: For some time, as the guide brought groups of Jewish tourists to the Temple Mount, a Waqf guard would come up to him, and tell him in a strict tone of voice: please remember that you're visiting a Muslim holy place, and are requested not to say anything that goes against Islam, is that clear? - Sure, perfectly clear, the guide would say. Then immediately, an Israeli policeman would approach the group and say: please be aware that you're on Israeli territory and are therefore allowed to speak freely on whatever subject you like, is that clear? - Perfectly clear, thank you. The same ritual would repeat day in and day out.
