A priest is giving a young nun a lift home from church one day... and as he's shifting gears, he rests his hand on the nun's knee... The young nun looks up at the priest and says: "Father, remember Luke 14:10."
-The priest withdraws his hand, embarrassed.
Next time they stop at a light, he places his hand a little higher up on her thigh. The nun says: "Remember Luke 14:10, Father."
The priest apologizes: "The flesh is weak", he says...
So he drops her off and when he gets home, he reaches for his Bible and he flips to Luke 14:10 and read:
"Friend, come up higher, then shalt thou have glory."

Petty bourgeoisie do not wish to and cannot take power alone and independently, as has been proved by the experience of all revolutions, and as is proved by economics, which explains that in a capitalist country it is possible to stand for capital and it is possible to stand for labour, but it is impossible to stand for long in between.

Very close is famous quote from J. Reed

"There are two classes, the proletariat and the bourgeoisie... And whoever isn't on one side is on the other".

Both quotes are extremely important.

Each time I hear about 8bit images and 6-7 stops I just can't bear it...

Just to make it into extreme to show stupidity.

Let's make it 1bit.

• 0 - will be defined as "low building".
• 1 - will mean "high building".

Dynamic range will be ratio between low and high buildings heights.

One stop just means that this ratio is equal to 2, two stops that it is 4, etc

Did you noticed that we never referenced specific heights numbers here?

In reality we can define "low building" as 1 meter and "high building" as 8000 meters (we are free to do it, can also use other definition).

Hence we have 13 stops, using 1 bit.

Well, you can say, but we are losing all buildings in between. After encoding they will become either "high" or "low".

May be this is where the limit is? Well, no not here.

For 8bit we have 256 separate values now. We can make out definition as

• 0 - lowest building
• 1 - one that is 2 times higher
• 10 - one that is 4 times higher
• 11 - one that is 8 times higher
• etc

So it'll be total 256 stops. :-)

We'll talk where the limit lies soon..

Homelessness surges 34% ... with 100,000 more families losing their home compared with 2010.
120,000 children are living in temporary homes as councils illegally place families in unfit accommodation.

The statistics paint a bleak picture of the UK housing crisis and the impact a lack of decent, affordable homes is having on thousands of families.

There has been a 60 per cent increase in the number of families being housed in insecure temporary accommodation. In particular, bed and breakfast-type hotels are increasingly being used to house families for long periods of time as local councils struggle to find them proper homes to live in.

There are now 77,240 families in England currently living in temporary accommodation – up from 48,240 just six years ago. Of these, almost fourth-fifths (78 per cent) are families with children, meaning there are currently 120,500 children living in insecure, temporary homes.
