 long was difficult, but down the road, it is all worth it. I can see my body is toning, my clothes are getting looser; my complexion is better and I sleep so well. Really, I don’t really care what you say about swimming getting broad shoulders, I love my body, I love being fit and if you don’t exercise, seriously, you have no rights to tell me which sports I should do or should not. At the end of the day, I am the one exercising, and you being in the couch potato should just stick to your couch. Hehe!
Oh, my passion is burning, as you all know, I love diving and I am in love with it. Thinking about it makes me really happy and suddenly there are just plenty of people and dive trips coming along my way all the time. This is so wonderful and I have managed to fit in 3 diving trips on this 2nd half of the year. I am confident that I am going to make wonderful friends along the way. And I truly absolutely believe that our trips are going to be wonderful, we are making good memories and yes, we are going to see something good during our diving trips! Something rare that’s worth every conversations in the future. And most importantly, we are going to be safe, happy and alive when we return homes as planned.
I have also fully and truthfully come into terms with my sexuality. This is something I have been struggling and confusing myself for a long while. I truly believe that sexuality is fluid and if you put it strictly, it’s just a spectrum that society puts labels on because they don’t really have conclusive answers for the entire working of it. And I am so happy that I can now be honest to myself and my friends. And I am really grateful that there are people who accept me. While there are others who question about the entire sexuality concept, too bad for you all, you are missing half the fun! Whatever it is, I believe in love. True love. To me, it’s LOVE first. Other qualities such as skin color, gender and etc, come much much much later. So YAY to myself! This is good!
I am feeling really wonderful, like I am not even kidding or faking it. There are secrets to this positive energy that I am feeling. There are things that I have been doing to improve my body, mind and soul. You might question about my methods, but honestly, it’s nothing harmful. These are just things that you and I have come across the internet for many many times and while you are skeptical about it, I am a firm believer. At the end of the day, look who’s complaining about bad day? Definitely not me.
I am never stingy with my knowledge so in the next few posts, I am going to list down things I do everyday. ;)24/33 City/Highway MPG Odometer is 3872 miles below market average! L.A.

I made a collectible card game and put the cards in packs. You could get kids and move them to different locations and give them items. Like the Conch Shell let you always have the first move in combat no matter what speed your character was. 

I even made an expansion called "Tribal Wars". 

I used the glass beads you can get from a glass shop (or magic cards) for tokens, and you basically had a character you could upgrade either with a better character card you drew and paid for, or items. Cards were made on the stocky paper with images cut and pasted onto magic cards and placed in magic card protector sleeves, and the packs were inside out magic packs (I used homelands cards because that set was garbage and cheap as hell to get so opening a box of them was w/e) with a new name/logo on them. 

Everyone else did like a book report and the teacher was a nerd and liked it so much that he let a few of us just play the game for a few classes. Ended up with an A so that was neat.This week I talk to you about the dating game,no this is not a chat about how to pick up a partner who metal detects but how the scientific community would go about dating a find using Stratigraphy and Radio Carbon Dating and how it relates to metal detecting and of course We have our tech time out and i talk about my recent adventures in metal detecting.Author Affiliations: Department of Surgery, Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Sherbrooke, Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada (Dr Marcotte); Divisions of Laparoscopy and Bariatric Surgery (Drs Afaneh and Pomp) and Hepatobiliary Surgery and Liver Transplantation (Dr Cherqui), Department of Surgery (Drs Afaneh and Pomp), New York–Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center, New York.).

Ideally I'd like to do this in a python notebook, but I'm open to any suggestions.
Thank you!

A: I think this boils down to comparing the lossy images to their original, i.e. measuring the loss of image quality.
Measure the difference between the lossy image and its origin, do the same for other lossy images and compare the results.
How this can be done has been asked before and I have just added an answer mentioning some approaches.
Miami would be perfect fit for Cespedes
Gonzalez: Miami would be perfect fit for Cespedes
Cespedes doesn't need to see any more. If the money is right -- and it should be, considering the Marlins' guerilla-style approach to this offseason and their lust for the potential five-tool center fielder -- Miami is the perfect fit. It's the only fit, really.
Cespedes, who can agree to terms but can't officially sign with a Major League team until he's cleared by the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control, sounded like a man who agreed on Wednesday.
At the airport, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel quoted him as saying: "It would be good [to play in Miami]. There are a lot of Cubans and they would support me a lot. Hopefully I can play for the Marlins."
At the ballpark, and through a translator, he told the Palm Beach Post: "I've watched the players the Marlins have signed lately, and I think this club can compete for a World Series."
A lot of teams are in the mix already, and more may jump in. But because they'll play in a shiny new ballpark, have the pieces to win now and reside in a city full of people with his heritage, it's clear the Marlins are high on Cespedes' list.
Cespedes is even higher on theirs.
"Aggressive right to the point of stupidity, but not quite there," is how club president David Samson recently described the Marlins' pursuit of Cespedes. "... As a Cuban and someone in the D.R., it makes perfect sense. We have a perfect position for him to play. It would be great."
Signing Cespedes, of course, comes with plenty of risk, especially if he commands roughly $10 million a year on a long-term contract, as expected.
Cespedes starred in Cuba, batting.333 with 33 homers and 90 RBIs in 90 games in his last season there, but hit just.143 while seeing his first action since March in the Dominican Winter League.
Scouts have had opposing views on what kind of player Cespedes projects to be -- some say Carlos Gonzalez, others believe Drew Stubbs -- but many predict he'll be more suitable as a corner outfielder, and the vast majority believe he'll need time in the Minors.
"The expectation level will be ungodly high, and this is a level he has never seen," one veteran evaluator who has watched Cespedes said. "There will be a learning curve, and the longer he takes to sign, the less time he'll have to adjust to begin the year."
Perhaps he's more Yuniesky Maya or Juan Miranda than Luis Tiant or Tony Perez. But for the Marlins, more so than any other team
