YOUR FAVORITE SANDWICH REVEALS YOUR PERSONALITY!
by Derrick Keith in "WIL92.com"
There's more than meat and cheese in that sub you're having for lunch today. Experts say your sandwich is a powerful key to your personality --Yeah I am not sure how anybody could ever tell you all this just from your favorite sandwich but see if your favorite sandwich sounds like you.
• Bologna and American Cheese: A traditionalist whose tastes are simple and plain, you're straightforward and direct. You value honesty above all other values.
• Turkey Sandwich: You're somewhat shy and rarely volunteer, but once asked, you pitch right in and get the job done. You hate conflict, and tend to back away when things get rough.
• Club Sandwich: Generous and big-hearted, you never do anything halfway -- either for yourself or others. You're creative, innovative and mechanically inclined.
• Ham and Swiss: Quiet and reserved, you're very private and have only a small number of friends -- but are extremely close to them. You're fiercely loyal and supportive,
• Italian Hero: Strong-willed and brash, you're a hard-charging achiever who likes to take risks. You're a strong leader,You need to learn to listen a little more to the advice of friends and colleagues.
• Peanut Butter and Jelly: You're artistic and adventurous, and you like bringing different people and ideas together. You don't mind when things get a little messy sometimes.
• Tuna Salad: Your calm, serene outlook has many people looking to you for guidance. You're a problem solver who doesn't waste time assigning blame when things go wrong.
BTW Tuna Salad is my favorite and they say I am a calm person LOL.

What is reCAPTCHA?
reCAPTCHA is a free CAPTCHA service that helps to digitize books.A CAPTCHA is a program that can tell whether its user is a human or a computer. You've probably seen them Ñ colorful images with distorted text at the bottom of Web registration forms. CAPTCHAs are used by many websites to prevent abuse from "bots," or automated programs usually written to generate spam. No computer program can read distorted text as well as humans can, so bots cannot navigate sites protected by CAPTCHAs.
About 60 million CAPTCHAs are solved by humans around the world every day. In each case, roughly ten seconds of human time are being spent. Individually, that's not a lot of time, but in aggregate these little puzzles consume more than 150,000 hours of work each day. What if we could make positive use of this human effort? reCAPTCHA does exactly that by channeling the effort spent solving CAPTCHAs online into "reading" books.
To archive human knowledge and to make information more accessible to the world, multiple projects are currently digitizing physical books that were written before the computer age. The book pages are being photographically scanned, and then transformed into text using "Optical Character Recognition" (OCR). The transformation into text is useful because scanning a book produces images, which are difficult to store on small devices, expensive to download, and cannot be searched. The problem is that OCR is not perfect.
reCAPTCHA improves the process of digitizing books by sending words that cannot be read by computers to the Web in the form of CAPTCHAs for humans to decipher. More specifically, each word that cannot be read correctly by OCR is placed on an image and used as a CAPTCHA. This is possible because most OCR programs alert you when a word cannot be read correctly.
But if a computer can't read such a CAPTCHA, how does the system know the correct answer to the puzzle? Here's how: Each new word that cannot be read correctly by OCR is given to a user in conjunction with another word for which the answer is already known. The user is then asked to read both words. If they solve the one for which the answer is known, the system assumes their answer is correct for the new one. The system then gives the new image to a number of other people to determine, with higher confidence, whether the original answer was correct.
Currently, we are helping to digitize books from the Internet Archive and old editions of the New York Times.
