Saw it on TV and it was probably made for it. ABC Family or Disney or something. The villain kid was a smug nerd-type, reminds me of the rich kid in Little Rascals as far as my hazy memory remembers.
I think the plot involved the main character becoming super smart through some magic or science or something, probably has a scene where he reads a book by flipping through it in a second, but I might be mixing things up.
Assuming Harry and Dudley went to a Muggle state school he would have been in grades 1 or 2 when it got banned in the Uk state schools.
Could that have been the reason he turned his teacher's wig blue with Accidental Magic?
I want to do this by comparing audio in the video files to a known audio file containing the opening.
I'm gonna start off simple, so suppose that you're already given the audio file containing the opening (1.5 min in length).
Here's the algorithm I'm thinking about implementing:
Processing the audio file containing the opening
- Split the audio into 1 second intervals
- Create some kind of hash or signature for those 1 second intervals
- Store them into an array A
Processing the audio file of the TV show
- Crop out the audio from the first 6 minutes of the show
- Split the audio into 1 second intervals
- Create some kind of hash or signature for those 1 second intervals
- Store them into an array B
Finding the opening
- Iterate through the hashes in B, start a diff against A for each interval.
- Save the time and the longest matching duration as we iterate through B
- Return the time that had the longest matching duration
What I have figured out:
- I can use ffmpeg for getting the audio and cropping from the TV show
Some things I need help with figuring out:
- How do I create the “hash or signature” of each 1 second interval?
- What python library do I use for audio processing?
- Any other problems with this? (probably a lot)
Those songs were "A Day in the Life", "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds", "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da", and "Ticket to Ride".

- I'm not sure how many of you have ever felt like this. But as an aspiring Filmmaker, I love Music in Films. I always hear a song I like and imagine how it could be used in a Film. No matter the genre, I always picture it being played and try to work out the scene in my head. Sometimes I hear a song I REALLY like and wonder if it has been used in a Film before. And to figure out if it has, I just have to do a random Google search and hope I get lucky. But imagine an App where you can type the name of a song, and when you press "Enter." It searches for what Films and TV Shows have used that specific song, if any, and then gives you the Film Title or TV Show name along with the Episode Title. Followed by the exact time stamp in that Film/TV Show where the song was played.
- Just an idea I always wish was a reality. It's kind of like Shazam and WhoSampled. But instead of telling you what song is being sampled, it tells you which Film/TV Show the song was featured in. Just a thought...
Hi, apologies in advance if this is the wrong flair...
On a Monday in March of 2016, my mother was fired/forced to resign from her job as a para educator/teacher's associate due to events that transpired earlier in class on the previous Friday. A kid, let's call him Nathan, who suffers from learning disabilities, namely ADD was rocking back and forth in his chair like kids do, lifting the chair off of the ground and moving his body with the chair. My mother verbally warned him three times to stop, telling him that he would hurt himself. Nathan did not stop and was about to fall out of his chair when my mom grabbed his shoulders to keep him in the chair and said, "Stop!" Nathan promptly stopped and was safe. All went on scheduled during that school day.
That next Monday, my mother went into work as schedule, but was told by the teacher she works for that the vice principal wanted to see her. She had no idea what was about to follow. The vice principal of the elementary and the vice Superintendent of the school district were there to talk to her about her alleged corporal punishment of Nathan. They told my mother that she was to sign a statement of resignation immediately (written by the HR director who was also present) or else they would put corporal punishment on her record. She signed the statement which acknowledged none of the events she was being accused of and curiously, was given papers which listed the educator and employee's right to use reasonable force within the law to both protect the student from harming himself or threatening harm to others and to maintain control and order in the classroom.
My mother was very distraught, devastated even. She loves kids and was working her way up in school to become a teacher. She was also the only Latina who was working at the school at the moment. My mother was visibly crying at the outlandish and insane accusations of abuse and mishandling, repeating to the vice principal who was raising his voice, "I didn't mishandle him, I didn't touch him, I didn't hurt him. I stopped him from falling out of his chair" thinking simply stopping Nathan from falling wasn't a big deal...
The vice principal yelled back, "but you DID touch him," clearly not understanding that when my mother said she didn't touch him, she meant she did not harm Nathan as she was being accused of. The vice principal told my mother that Nathan's guardian had been notified of "the abuse," and called the VP and that my mother had to resign or

I am French. In my country, parents have the "right to physically punish" their children (droit de correction). Well, after several attempts these last few years, the law finally passed this afternoon!! All forms of violences against children are officially banned.
I know it will not stop parents hitting their children or insulting them. But it is an important first step.
As an adult who suffered many kinds of violences at the hand of my parents, I am happy tonight <3

Recently been binging The Walking Dead, having never seen it before, and though there are cutthroat elements, the most ideal societies are those which provide for everyone. Seems that the wealth we (or some of us) have seems to render the option of working together, keeping the planet ok and whatnot an unworthwhile cause.
