The Farmer from Texas
The Farmer from Texas( German: Der Farmer aus Texas) is a 1925 German silent comedy film directed by Joe May and starring Mady Christians, Willy Fritsch and Lillian Hall- Davis.
It was based on the play" Kolportage" by Georg Kaiser.
The film was considered a costly box office failure, contributing to a financial crisis at Germany's largest studio Universum Film AG.
The film's sets were designed by Paul Leni.
Monte Carlo
Monte Carlo( or colloquially" Monte- Carl") is officially an administrative area of the Principality of Monaco, specifically the ward of Monte Carlo/ Spélugues, where the Monte Carlo Casino is located.
Informally, the name also refers to a larger district, the Monte Carlo Quarter( corresponding to the former municipality of Monte Carlo), which besides Monte Carlo/ Spélugues also includes the wards of La Rousse/ Saint Roman, Larvotto/ Bas Moulins, and Saint Michel.
The permanent population of the ward of Monte Carlo is about 3,500, while that of the quarter is about 15,000.
Monaco has four traditional quarters.
From west to east they are: Fontvieille( the newest), Monaco- Ville( the oldest), La Condamine, and Monte Carlo.
Monte Carlo is situated on a prominent escarpment at the base of the Maritime Alps along the French Riviera.
Near the quarter's western end is the world- famous Place du Casino, the gambling center which has made Monte Carlo" an international byword for the extravagant display and reckless dispersal of wealth".
It is also the location of the Hôtel de Paris, Café de Paris and Salle Garnier( the casino theatre which is the home of the Opéra de Monte- Carlo).
The quarter's eastern part includes the community of Larvotto with Monaco's only public beach, as well as its new convention center( the Grimaldi Forum), and the Monte- Carlo Bay Hotel& Resort.
At the quarter's eastern border, one crosses into the French town of Beausoleil( sometimes referred to as Monte- Carlo- Supérieur), and just to its east is the western border of Italy.

Unknown of Monte Carlo
Unknown of Monte Carlo( French: L'inconnue de Monte Carlo) is a 1939 French drama film directed by André Berthomieu and starring Dita Parlo, Albert Préjean and Jules Berry.
A separate Italian version" The Woman of Monte Carlo" was also made.
Quasi-Monte Carlo method
In numerical analysis, the quasi-Monte Carlo method is a method for numerical integration and solving some other problems using low-discrepancy sequences (also called quasi-random sequences or sub-random sequences).
This is in contrast to the regular Monte Carlo method or Monte Carlo integration, which are based on sequences of pseudorandom numbers.
Monte Carlo and quasi-Monte Carlo methods are stated in a similar way.
The problem is to approximate the integral of a function "f" as the average of the function evaluated at a set of points "xx":
Since we are integrating over the "s"-dimensional unit cube, each "x" is a vector of "s" elements.
The difference between quasi-Monte Carlo and Monte Carlo is the way the x are chosen.
Quasi-Monte Carlo uses a low-discrepancy sequence such as the Halton sequence, the Sobol sequence, or the Faure sequence, whereas Monte Carlo uses a pseudorandom sequence.
The advantage of using low-discrepancy sequences is a faster rate of convergence.
Quasi-Monte Carlo has a rate of convergence close to O(1/"N"), whereas the rate for the Monte Carlo method is O("N").
The Quasi-Monte Carlo method recently became popular in the area of mathematical finance or computational finance.
In these areas, high-dimensional numerical integrals, where the integral should be evaluated within a threshold ε, occur frequently.
Hence, the Monte Carlo method and the quasi-Monte Carlo method are beneficial in these situations.
Squeak Piggy Squeak
Squeak Piggy Squeak is a parlour game that is sometimes called Grunt Piggy Grunt, Oink Piggy Oink.
It is a variation of Blind Man's Bluff and was popular in the Victorian era.
To play the game, one player is chosen to be the" farmer"; the others are the piggies.
The farmer is blindfolded and holds a pillow.
All other players then sit in a circle surrounding the farmer.
The farmer is spun around three times and then has to make his or her way to the piggies, place the pillow on the lap of the chosen piggy without touching the piggy with his or her hands( to maintain the anonymity of the piggy), and sit down, squashing the piggy.
The farmer then says" Squeak Piggy Squeak".
When the chosen piggy squeaks, the farmer has to guess the name of the player on whom he or she is sitting.
If the farmer guesses correctly, the piggy becomes the farmer in the next round.
If the guess is incorrect, then the farmer remains to be spun again for the next round.
The piggies all switch chairs so that the farmer will not know who is sitting where.
Instead of" Squeak Piggy Squeak", any other animal sound can be substituted, like" Moo Cow Moo" or even" Roar Lion Roar".
Another variation is to eliminate players.
The farmer is spun three times, points in front of them and says' Oink piggy pink' and the piggy facing them must squeal.
If the farmer guesses correctly, that piggy is out of the game and the farmer becomes a piggy.
The eliminated piggy chooses another piggy to become the farmer.
If the farmer is incorrect, he or she is out of the game, and the piggy who squealed becomes the farmer.
This continues until only one farmer and one piggy remain.
At this time there's no need for the farmer to guess who the piggy is since only one player is left.
The two remaining players are the winners.
The title of the game is used in the media, often to establish a satiric tone in political pieces.
2018 Monte-Carlo Masters
The 2018 Monte- Carlo Masters( also known as the Rolex Monte- Carlo Masters for sponsorship reasons) was a tennis tournament for male professional players that was played on outdoor clay courts.
It was the 112th edition of the annual Monte Carlo Masters tournament, sponsored by Rolex for the tenth time.
It took place at the Monte Carlo Country Club in Roquebrune- Cap- Martin, France( though billed as Monte Carlo, Monaco).
