Why Newt Scamander is a Hufflepuff
by Eleanor Harrison-Dengate · Published May 15, 2015 · Updated February 6, 2018
J.K.Rowling tweeted that Newt Scamander of the upcoming Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them films is a Hufflepuff!
So what does this tell us about Newt?
We know that Hufflepuffs are tenacious, hard working, and patient. For a magizoologist, all of these traits are compulsory in the job description – after all, you'd have to be "unafraid of toil" if you're going to spend your time examining dragon dung while tracking Chinese Fireballs in the Himalayas, and the Hufflepuff aptitude for patience and tenacity would be invaluable while lying in wait on a deserted Okinawan island straining to catch a glimpse of a Demiguise.
And really, which other House is more suited to searching for strange magical creatures – after all, Hufflepuffs are very good finders…
So what do we know about Newt?
We know he was born in 1897 and grew up taking care of his mother's hippogriffs. Handling hippogriffs from a young age would have had an impact on his early development. Undoubtedly he would've learned during this time the effectiveness of trust in his relationships with magical creatures. So Newt, at 11, knew that gaining an animal's trust was preferable to any other means of working with them, such as coercion (à la Draco Malfoy), force, or outsmarting them – methods that may have been preferred by other Houses.
**Pottermore Sorting Spoiler Alert** Interestingly, according to unofficial analyses of the Pottermore Sorting test, there is a significant correlation between having an affinity for animals and Hufflepuff. For example, the question about what super power you would want appears to give greater weight to a Hufflepuff sorting if you choose "ability to talk to animals" as your superpower. Although this is not confirmed, it is a great explanation for Newt's sorting.
In light of his childhood, and his affinity with animals, Newt's sorting had an apparently obvious outcome.
But Newt, in his adult life, was not an obvious choice for Hufflepuff. He showed significant Gryffindor-like qualities while serving on the Dragon Research and Restraint Bureau. Such a position obviously called on acts of bravery, especially when faced with the task of subduing an angry Ukrainian Ironbelly. Not to mention the many acts of bravery he would have performed during the making of his book, like stalking the terrifying Lethifold in the jungles of Papua New Guinea. Obviously, Gryffindors don't have a monopoly on bravery – Cedric Diggory and Nymphadora Tonks were both heroic Hufflepuffs while Severus Snape is famously "the bravest man" Harry ever knew – although it is a defining Gryffindor House trait.
Likewise, Newt's application to be in Ravenclaw would also have been difficult to turn away. His endeavor to "learn" about all fantastic beasts and contribute to wizarding kind's vast store of knowledge, as well as his obvious "wit" when confronted with the sphinxes of Egypt, makes him a very strong candidate for Ravenclaw-hood – and yet he wasn't.
Slytherin was also a worthy house for Newt; perhaps he was not "power-hungry" per se, but his work in the creation of a Werewolf Register in 1947 (aged 50), as well as instituting a Ban on Experimental Breeding in 1965 (aged 68), both testify to his political "cunning." Not to mention his ambition in taking on Augustus Worme's offer to write Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them in the first place.
So maybe he was a perfect Hatstall. He had to have shown bravery in his later dealings with dragons, he was obviously smart enough to become a world authority on magical creatures, and above all, he was ambitious enough to try.
Maybe Newt is a case study of a perfect four-way Hatstall. And when that happens, Hufflepuff, which takes "the rest," ends up being the best choice.

EMIY Future Leaders Program (EFL) is a 14 week peer mentoring training designed to draw out the natural talents and leadership abilities of boys ages 8-13. According to Search Institute children between the ages of 9 and 15 are at important turning points in their lives because during this time that they often disengage in school life or engage in risky behaviors that can limit their chances of reaching productive adulthood. Conversely, EMIY's Future Leaders Program target boys 8 – 13 to develop leadership skills as a basis for prevention and intervention. Our leadership strategies assist youth to envision a positive future and plan the necessary steps they need to reach their goals. The next session begins January 2019, there's limited space for 40 males.
Respect for yourself and all others. For the younger kids we help them learn how to help each other. For the older group it comes down to this: If you learn how to respect yourself in all situations, you never have to worry about disrespecting anyone else.
Responsibility uses the "must-do's". From completing your homework, doing your chores, getting the right amount of sleep, to taking care of yourself, your body and your mind.
This one is about commitment. to make sure you do what you say you will do no more "I'll get to it later". This is about your word of honor. It's about making sure that something gets done and to the best standards available.
The hardest thing for anybody to do is to look themselves in the mirror and to generate an honest assessment of yourself. What do you do right? How do you know? Is your self esteem to high? or, is it too low? Causing depression and underachievement. We will cover both ends of the spectrum and everybody in between.
Simply; "Don't quit, no matter what". This is the most important idea. Almost everybody has had hundred's of really good ideas that would have worked if we didn't quit on the idea. If you believe it will work, then it probably will. You just have to overcome the obstacles between yourself and success.

Airtel promotes access to digital learning with 'Touching Lives Season 7'
By The Eagle Online October 5, 2022 Updated: October 5, 2022 No Comments
Airtel Nigeria has started the seventh edition of its Corporate Social Responsibility intervention: "Airtel Touching Lives Season 7," with focus on financial inclusion and digital learning for underprivileged children.
Managing Director, Airtel Nigeria, Surendran Chemmenkotil, flagged it off the at a press conference on Tuesday in Lagos.
He said the CSR programme was an opportunity for the telecoms company to further connect with the several communities it served as well as focus on its sustainability agenda.
Chemmenkotil said in 2021, Airtel Africa announced an ambitious sustainability agenda with strong focus on providing access to digital learning for underprivileged children.
He said the company planned to work closely with the government to uplift the standard of primary education through adoption of schools and providing access via financial inclusion to the underbanked and unbanked.
He said: "In implementing this agenda, Airtel Nigeria, through the Season 7 programme, will mostly seek causes and opportunities that speak broadly and primarily to digital and financial inclusion as well as adoption of schools.
"In the past, we have focused on several areas of the SDGs including access to healthcare, clean water, sanitation, environment, women empowerment, social justice among many others.
"It is our belief that accelerating digital learning for underprivileged children and providing financial inclusion for the excluded will not only transform lives but will also have massive impact for the society and economy."
He added that the company would look for ways to empower underprivileged children with access to world class curriculum through simple technology and make lives better for the many men and women living in different communities it served.
Chemmenkotil said: "As we begin this season, I am requesting Nigerians to feel free to nominate causes and as usual, we will provide help and support to as many as we can, considering our scope and resources."

Q: Is there any way to increase the memory space for a model in Z3? I developed a model using Z3 .Net API. The program runs well. But when I increase the input size (i.e., the model size), the program runs for a long time and then it ends giving the following message:
"Unhandled Exception: OutOfMemoryException."

I am wonderding is there any way I can increase the memory size for the program.

A: If you're compiling to x86 platform, you're hitting 2GB memory limit of 32-bit processes. If you're targeting x64, there is also 2GB limit of .NET objects which you cannot bypass. In my experience, this 2GB limit is enough under normal circumstances.
You have a choice of running Z3 executable using .NET and redirecting output string to handle it by yourself. As a last resort, you can rewrite the memory-critical part in your program using Z3 C API to bypass above restrictions, which I think you may not want to do.

NIST has extensive experience in preparation and characterization of reference materials and providing measurement support through quality assurance programs for food nutrition, to support US industry in meeting labeling requirements. Leveraging this expertise as well as strong relationships with stakeholders in the food industry, NIST is poised to be a leader in providing metrology solutions to address food safety challenges. Food safety is a broad topic, ranging from heavy metals, toxins, and residue contamination resulting from growth conditions to allergens, bacteria, or other contamination occurring during processing and/or packaging. Food safety can also extend to authenticity, fraud, and adulteration, or even to potential spoilage. As nearly a $1 trillion contribution to the US GDP, the US food supply represents a huge economic asset, that must be protected. This workshop will bring experts from the food industry, government, academia, and support organizations (e.g., trade and standards organizations, instrument manufacturers) together with metrology experts to discuss challenges and possible solutions facing laboratories charged with ensuring the safety of the US and global food supply.
After the workshop, the planning committee will work with other major contributors to prepare and publish a white paper summarizing needs and possible measurement science solutions and technology transfer opportunities in these areas of food safety. This white paper will inform the future directions of NIST and CSD efforts in ensuring the safety of the national and international food supply. A second, complementary white paper on the broader international capabilities across NMIs and prospective actions to ensure global food safety will be generated.


"We don't do it because it is easy, we do it because it is hard"
That's a typical squatter's motto. That's how you achieve real physical progress. It should be challenging, not insurmountable or boring, but challenging. That's how you grow, physically and mentally. I know I always emphasize enjoyment and flow, but that doesn't mean I don't understand the concept of resistance in order to develop. Hello! I lift weights, don't I?
Sal Khan wrote this a month ago but it is still worth reading. He describes the importance of a growth mindset and why struggling with being wrong is more valuable than learning hard facts correctly.
"The Internet is a dream for someone with a growth mindset. Between Khan Academy, MOOCs, and others, there is unprecedented access to endless content to help you grow your mind. However, society isn't going to fully take advantage of this without growth mindsets being more prevalent"
I think the Internet is a dream to me. Without it I would never have quit my job, never would have found a purpose outside the usual school-work-pension path, could never have learned and grown as much as I have just the last 6 months. Fortunately, I seem to have some kind of a growth mindset, despite being a muppet.


DALLAS -- Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban has talked to a potential investor about becoming a minority owner in the Dallas Stars, Cuban said Wednesday on ESPN 103.3 FM's Galloway & Company.
"I'm not looking to outright buy the team," Cuban said. "I have talked to somebody who is interested in buying the team and I told them I would try to help them get a deal done. From my end, I like hockey, I'm a fan, but I'm not a hockey guy. l'm not going to lie and pretend I can come in and bring the energy that I try to bring to the Mavs.
"But because they are a partner in the American Airlines Center, they are going to be a business partner no matter what. If I can help facilitate the right deal and a deal that is going to help the AAC, or help get what I think is a good deal done, I will."
Cuban, who said he was introduced to the interested buyer by Stars center Mike Modano, termed his interest as "an investor as opposed to an operational guy."
Stars owner Tom Hicks, on behalf of Hicks Sports Group, has hired a firm to find investors for the club. HSG, who owns the Stars and 50 percent of American Airlines Center, is willing to sell a majority stake in the club in order to help pay down its debts. Hicks said Monday that he lent $85 million of his own money to HSG in a two-year period that ended on March 31, 2009, when the company defaulted on $525 million in loans.
The process of possibly selling the team has just started, but Hicks said he'd like the situation resolved by the end of the summer.
"Part of the problem is that it's a cascading effect," Cuban said of potentially becoming part of a group to buy the Stars. "The [Texas] Rangers stuff has to get done first before we can really see what happens with the Stars, and the NHL is actively involved now on the Stars side, too."
Cuban said he had looked at joining a group to buy the Stars and Rangers when it appeared a deal might not get done with Rangers Baseball Express, the group headed by Chuck Greenberg and Rangers president Nolan Ryan.
"I went in and took a look at everything," Cuban said. "There was no reason to make a real offer at that point. It was a fallback in case Chuck's deal fell."

"'Twas the night before the Christmas show, and not a director was volunteering all through the house." In this secular Christmas play, a group of players suddenly discovers they have no director to help them prepare their skit for tomorrow night's Christmas variety show! The president of the city council calls in school volleyball coach Bailey Cox to direct them. Bailey agrees, figuring it will be a simple task. She figures the group must already have their skit worked out for tomorrow night, right? Wrong! Besides not having an act, Bailey discovers they don't have any talent! But there's an even bigger problem: all they do is eat donuts and bicker... and they're the city council! The coach gives them her best pep talk, to no avail. Up against the wall, she's at her wit's end, and she's running out of time. How she quickly gets the city council to cooperate and produce a delightful retelling of the classic Christmas poem is indeed a Christmas miracle.

The rooms are spacious, the cast are friendly, and the restaurants are great. We've been to Olivia's quite a few times in the past, but recently we stopped in with some friends who have never been and wanted to go after hearing how great the fried chicken is. The fried chicken is really good, but there's a full menu of delicious surprises as well.
We really ordered this one just because of the name. Unlike the picture, it's not purple at all. Also, excuse the blurry photo, we were a little too excited to get our hands on Slappy Joe's concoction of fun. Overall it's a lemonade with bourbon, which was quite refreshing and went down easy, making it quite dangerous.
A Manhattan-style clam chowder, meaning a red base, that's FULL of conch. If you've never had conch before, think of it as a tougher clam or oyster. A lot of the same flavor profile remains, but the conch is definitely meatier. The conch chowder here is perfectly spiced and simmered all day long to achieve a masterful soup. It's spectacular and shouldn't be missed when dining here.
Listed as 'Shrimp, Scallop, Calamari, Mahi Mahi, and Mussels simmered in a Coconut and Tomato Broth with Garbanzo Beans, Pineapple, and Edamame served with Lime Rice and Toasted Almonds'. It's a heck of a bowl that's filled with rice, sauce, and the large assortment of seafood. For the price, we didn't expect a huge amount of protein, but were surprised with the generous portion we received. All of the flavors had plenty of time to get to know each other in the coconut broth, each working together to give a slight Caribbean-vibe to the dish without being overwhelming.
Served here with the gravy on the side. We learned from past experiences that the gravy soaks into the crunchy chicken very quick, and getting it on the side not only prevents this, but you also get much more gravy. It's a win win for you to then dip the chicken in to. Anyway, expect a huge piece of perfectly fried chicken sitting on top of proper mashed potatoes. These aren't from a box, they're whipped from real potatoes and still a little chunky at times. They're perfect, as is the chicken. We can't say for sure if it's better than Plaza Inn at Disneyland, but it's certainly one of the best fried chicken options at Walt Disney World.
Served with seasonal strawberries on top. The flourless idea has been kicked around for a few years now, especially at Walt Disney World, but it's still a very tasty option. We don't know for sure how the chefs can continuously make great tasting cakes without flour, but we're thankful they can. It's ultra-chocolatey with great contrast on the fruit.

An unannounced active shooter drill at a Chicago office building caused worker panic and an aggressive response by police.
Officials say police received a call Thursday afternoon of workers hiding because of a shooter on the seventh floor of the 30-story building. Police officers carrying shields entered the building and split into teams on the floor, where they found no evidence of gunfire or that anyone had fired a weapon.
Police say a group of workers in a conference room didn't hide until they saw law enforcement officers. Grim-faced workers were later seen leaving the building.

The International 8
The Battle Pass for The International 8, Dota 2's biggest tournament, has arrived
You can start emptying your wallets or grinding for hats now
By Victoria Rose@riningear May 8, 2018, 6:21pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: The Battle Pass for The International 8, Dota 2's biggest tournament, has arrived
Dota 2 | Valve
After nearly nine months of competitive Dota 2, weeks of anticipation and over 24 hours of post-teaser anxiety, the next chapter of the Battle Pass is here.
Implemented as continuation or expansion of The International Compendium, which began in 2013, the Battle Pass gives fans an opportunity to fund the biggest Dota 2 tournament in the world. In return, players get neat in-game cosmetics, incentives to improve skill and a few new ways to explore Dota 2's strategies and universe.
More importantly, it appears that once again, it'll fund The International 8's prize pool. Last year, fans dished out enough to bring up the prize pool from the base of $1.6 million to a jaw-dropping $24 million. Team Liquid, last year's victors and top performers in this year's competitive Dota Pro Circuit, took home $10.8 million on their own, but all teams in attendance got a slice.
But for the everyday player who can't quite make it onto the Vancouver stage, there are plenty of reasons to be interested in the Battle Pass. There are event-exclusive prizes such as couriers, skins, a ward and map terrains, and they've released yet another music pack.
Dota 2 Redditors hold (fictional) penguins hostage in exchange for TI8 Compendium
If you're willing to either grind for a few eternities to Level 1000 or dish out $426.60, you can get this year's Aegis replica, and the Roshan comes 1000 levels or $419.58 later.
Hardcore fans are already probably glancing at their credit cards and pondering the future of their inventory, so we'll cut to the chase and run down a list of a few cool new things this year:
The Underhollow, an MMO-esque player-versus-player battle mode
Cavern Crawl, a mission-like incentive to try out new Heroes
"Sprays" (like Team Fortress 2 or Overwatch) that appear on the map
Team Challenge, an MMR-boosting opportunity that lets you play against enemies much higher than you
New equippable lane creep skins
And, of course, the Compendium will return with time, giving fans opportunities to make predictions about who will take the Aegis of Champions — and who will perish along the way.
The Battle Pass costs $9.99 at level zero, or $36.99 if you want a boost up to level 75. From there, if you don't have the time nor patience to grind through the Battle Pass's tasks, you can also buy levels: 5 for $2.49, 11 for $4.99 and 24 for $9.99.

PREVIEW: Mark Robins determined to finish season on a high at former club Scunthorpe
Mark Robins at Wembley last year for the Checkatrade Trophy final
Steve Carpenter 29th Apr, 2017 Updated: 30th Apr, 2017
FOOTBALL: MARK Robins will be hoping to get one over his former club when the Sky Blues end a disappointing campaign at Scunthorpe United on Sunday.
Before returning to Coventry for a second stint at the Rioch Arena, Robins spent over a year with the Terriers who are now hoping to win promotion to the Championship via the play-offs.
"I know all the staff at Scunthorpe, it is a good club," said Robins. "They've done pretty well.
"They'll be disappointed they haven't finished in the automatics. Good players, good lads, and deservedly guaranteed play-off.
"It is an interesting one. because we're going all out to win the game, they will have one eye to the play-offs. It will be nice to see players that I know. I'm pleased for them."
The Sky Blues have won just one game on the road all season but Robins is determined to sign off on a high in order to stay off the bottom of the table.
It is also another chance for Robins to evaluate his squad ahead of what is expected to be a busy summer restructure.
He added: "I'm looking forward to it because it is another game, last one of the season, then we can get on with things.
"We've got to make sure we finish the season off properly, it has been a challenging week. We're off the bottom, which is a small consolation – so we have to maintain that and get another three points.
"It matters staying off the bottom. Jordan Shipley made his debut, we've had some fitness issues and more changes made."
"We've got another game, we wait until the end of the season [to make decisions about which players stay]. People are always playing for their futures, and always being judged.
"They have been brilliant for me, whatever happens. They've changed things, the results have been much improved. Had that been for a longer period we wouldn't be in the position that we are.
"They've got to be given credit for what they've done since I walked through the door, it shows they are capable players."

How to Measure Chatbot Success: 8 Ways to Do It
Chatbots, companies such as KLM, Univé, Mediamarkt and Booking.com already make use of it. Other brands and organizations are keeping a close eye on developments. Despite a
growing number of organizations that use it, marketers struggle with the way in which the success of chatbots can be reported.
The development of chatbots
In the United States and Asia it has been commonplace for some time. Chatbots that can help consumers in their search for the answer to a pressing question or that one product.
Conversational commerce is very much the trend. Chatsbots are pieces of software that use the interface of chat apps and automatically develop themselves on the basis of machine learning.
The use has also gained momentum in Europe because Facebook Messenger and Slack have been opened to companies. Earlier this was already possible for the less popular chat applications WeChat, Telegram and Kik.
Of course there are also challenges. Fully automatic is in an era where consumer information like personal contact and relevance are not always optimal. There are also more and more
initiatives that combine a 'stupid' chatbot with human interventions.
In addition to machine learning, Natural Language Processing (NLP) also plays an important role in this.
The bot learns to learn from these human interventions and develops itself further and further. The use of chatbots can therefore no longer be stopped. Marketers have to start optimizing them for the maximum effect. However, it must be clear when a chatbot is a success.
When is a chatbot a success?
Marketers have become quite spoiled in recent years. In addition to reach and engagement, issues such as customer satisfaction and incremental turnover compared to control groups are also being reported. The complete (sales) funnel can be monitored, further optimized and a report on the ROI be produced where necessary.
In the field of messaging apps and in particular chatbots, standard metrics are not yet available. For AdvertisingAge, this is a reason to take a closer look at this and marketers who start chatbots to put a tick against eight possible measurement points for chatbots.
Every marketer will want to know how many people use their chatbot, unique and in absolute numbers. Without further context, these are actually meaningless numbers.
Where do you initially put it against?
Previously there was already the Canadian chat application Kik that came with definitions of active users . In order to monitor the development in use (and with it the progress), it is also advisable to report the number of active users per week, per month and per year.
Definition of a session & average session time (range & engagement):
When is there a chat session? Is a question and answer sufficient? Or does a weekly push notification with the latest offers count as a session? Even if no response from the receiver follows? Does someone count who comes back an hour later after asking a question as one or two sessions? This will have to be clearly defined beforehand. The definitions will depend on the industry, just as there may be varying objectives. Then report on the number
of sessions and average session time.
Number of sessions per user (engagement):
Another tricky one. Is a low or high frequency good? It depends entirely on the service you offer. In the case of customer service, for example, you hope that a bot can help a consumer as quickly and optimally as possible within a session. If that consumer then has to start several new sessions to solve problems, that is not desirable.
Number of interactions per user (engagement):
In line with the number of sessions per user, it is also interesting to look at the number of interactions within a session.
Each question-answer must bring someone closer to his goal (solving a need or question). It may be that a chatbot intuitively reaches the goal via a number of detours. Machine learning is therefore extremely important to reduce the number of interactions.
Confusion triggers (engagement):
Anyone who has ever had to deal with a chatbot may have received a response that there is no solution at hand. Reactions like 'I do not know' or 'I cannot help you' must be monitored. Marketers must learn from these loose ends and where necessary take them away in the future.
Click-through rate (engagement):
We also know these from other channels. In many cases, chatbots will refer consumers to a specific page. The clicks / offered clicks ratio is an excellent tool for monitoring. Note that click-through rate by itself is not sufficient, additional web analysis based on that click will have to be included.
Lead generation (conversion):
A subscription for the newsletter, scheduling an appointment, a download. Just a few examples of possibilities that a bot can offer to make it easier for the consumer.
Sales (conversion):
In addition to improving customer satisfaction, chatbots will develop more and more as a means of selling something. Attribution will initially be a challenge, but was this not the case with other channels?
To think about
I discussed eight measurement points where marketers can measure the first success of a chatbot. But is this all-encompassing? There are still a number of elements that influence chatbots that are difficult to measure in many cases.
• Branding: With a growing number of consumers using chatbots, it is also possible to measure NPS and purchase intent.
• Research: Another channel, that means more data! How do we deal with this data to further optimize our business operations?
• Content curation: Consumer input can also be used for future campaigns. Think of frequently asked questions.
• Opt-out: As with other channels, consumers will also get enough of chatbots. What does marketeers say when a chatbot is blocked? Did it not help the consumer in his
or her question? Or were the weekly messages a bit too commercial?
• Cannibalization: The emergence of chatbots will affect other channels and services. Is the pressure on the customer contact centre relieved and the costs go down?
Will chatbots lead to increased push marketing (push notifications or e-mail) or replace pull marketing (search) partially?

(C)Atlantis Pendant - (St Justin Sterling Silver)
Sterling silver pendant on sterling silver snake chain. Adaption of ancient Egyptian ring amulet. This pendant has a matching ring SR925. Discovered in 1860, in the Valley of the Kings by the Marquis dÆAgrain, the original ring (from which the pendant is derived) was made of clay. The ring was over a thousand years old but it was only in 1922 that its reputation came to light. The explorer, Howard Carter, had been entrusted with the safe keeping of the ring and he and Lord Carnarvon were excavating archaeological sites when they discovered TutankhamunÆs tomb. The tomb entrance bore the warning of a curse on whomever violated it. They both entered the tomb and revealed its magnificent contents to the world. Legend states that Carter was saved by the ring he wore, from the curse of Tutankhamun, making him the sole survivor of a group of 19 people who all died within the year following the discovery of the sarcophagus.
Diameter of pendant: 24mm. Chain length: 18 inch (45cm)
Please note that this item is now discontinued and in clearance. Although it comes boxed, please be aware that the box may not be in perfect condition.

Cartoon characters designed by famous artists with the golden ratio in mind.
Stephen illustrates in his video how he applied the golden ratio in his design of characters such as Kim Possible.
Create a rough version of your composition first to get the feeling and use the golden ratio to refine it.
In designing a character, Stephen says that the most important thing is to first get your idea out, to think about who your character is. Get a loose concept first to find the feeling of the character. Then begin applying the golden ratio to make adjustments to the various proportions of the character to make it feel more ideal. He illustrates this concept with two characters he creates in the video. He starts with some rough first passes to get the overall shape and feel. He then refines their proportions to golden ratios in various features. Note in the illustrations below that the original sketch lines are slightly off from the final drawing. The refinements below include the waistline and length of the pants, the length of the goatee and the position of the pectorals. He does all of this quickly and simply, using the golden mean gauge he created, at right, for this purpose.
Disney uses Phi in their animations and even in their logo.
Stephen was not the only one at Disney who thinks that the golden ratio, represented by the Greek letter Phi, is something special. Did you ever notice that the design of the Disney logo itself uses an upper case Phi (Φ) to dot the I and a lower case phi (φ) for its unusually styled Y? Now you're in on the secret!
Learning more and getting the tools you need to design is easy.
For those of you who work with digital images, you may find that my PhiMatrix golden ratio design software can help you to accomplish the very same things, whether that be in characters, logos, user interfaces, products or any other kind of design.
I really like golden ratio because it made Kim super chic.

Michael Connelly's crime novels have won passionate devotees with the ongoing series starring crusty LAPD detective Hieronymus "Harry" Bosch. Many Bosch fans have happily tagged along on Connelly's occasional side trips with other protagonists, from the journalist of "The Poet" to the ex-FBI agent of "Blood Work."
But the legal thrillers built around attorney Mickey Haller have taken on a life of their own. Haller's debut in "The Lincoln Lawyer" revealed him as a cynically charismatic courtroom whiz who runs his often-seedy criminal defense practice out of the back seat of a Lincoln town car chauffeured by one of his former clients.
While Bosch is haunted, a grim, mission-bound sleuth, Haller is a lighter and slighter specimen. He enjoys his job and -- barring the plot-sparking kinks and catastrophes -- life in general. This takes on significance when we learn that Bosch and Haller are half-brothers, sired though sparsely parented by the same brilliant, rich and thoroughly unpleasant lawyer. In a subsequent book, "The Brass Verdict," the half-brothers work a case together in a prickly but ultimately successful partnership.
The new Haller novel, "The Fifth Witness," is perfectly timed to coincide with the release of the film of "The Lincoln Lawyer," starring Matthew McConaughey as Haller, with Marisa Tomei and William H. Macy in supporting roles.
Haller is always fierce about the rights of his clients, guilty or not. But criminal defense work sets him at odds with much of the world, including his brother and his most recent ex-wife, who is a deputy district attorney.
As "The Fifth Witness" opens, Haller's law practice has changed. The upside-down economy means criminals can't afford to hire him, so Haller has shifted to mortgage law and is defending homeowners from bank foreclosures.
This puts him on the side of the angels until a mortgage banker is murdered and one of Haller's more volatile clients is charged with the crime. Even Haller finds the accused woman unlikable, but he soon discovers that the dead banker was involved in nefarious shenanigans with big-time organized crime. The involvement of major heavies suggests there's more going on than one shrewd but cranky foreclosure victim. When Haller wakes up in the hospital, he's convinced.
His own neck is at serious risk, but in defense of the client Haller ropes in his whole support system of ex-wives, his 14-year-old daughter, a naive intern, colorful former clients and crucial allies from the biker community.
Much of the novel takes place in court, where Haller's opponent is a sharp and dangerous deputy DA who challenges him at every turn. The trial is crammed with the familiar tropes of this genre -- last-minute discoveries, untimely revelations about key witnesses, a dashing defense attorney daring the wrath of the judge, and so on. But Connelly brings it off in sprightly fashion leading to a double-twist, high-dive climax that sets us up for next year's Mickey Haller tale.
Plot and judicial gymnastics are the focus here, making "The Fifth Witness" an easy, amiable read with a tang of venom for zest.

Q: How can I encrypt SQL Server databse that can't use by the others? I am a server manager and there are many databases in our servers and I worry about illegal access to databases.
I need to encrypt the databases that nobody can't use them, even they have a backup from db.
I'm thinking about an encryption that the database only accessible with user/password permission and if someone has access to the servers, can't use the databases.
How can I do it?
Thank you

A: I don't have an answer for your exact question, but a couple of options to consider.
The first one is using Transparent Data Encryption (TDE), but this option one only addresses somebody the scenario of somebody stealing a backup of the DB, it doesn't help you on a database that is online.  https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb934049.aspx
The second feature to consider is Always Encrypted (AE), this option doesn't protect the DB as a whole, but it is an option to separate the database from the keys protecting the sensitive data in such a way that only the applications with access to the root key (column master key) can access the data in plaintext. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt163865.aspx
As I said, neither one covers your needs completely, but using both of them in tandem may be good enough for your scenario.


Hi- what are today's key levels for GBP/USD?
It is going to be a choppy trade between 1.4360 to 1.4406 levels. If we break the high then the move is going to be very sharp. We have a very important support at 1.4260. As long as it holds then upside targets are very possible to reach.
Next trading opportunity: As long as we don't trade above our pivotal levels 1.4230 to 1.4236 then there is a high probability market trade lower to test 1.4192 support. Above the pivotal levels market will try to break the 1.4256 then 1.4268 levels. If we trade above 1.4268 and stay above it then our next target is at 1.4318. On down side with break of 1.4192 support market will try to test the 1.4142 which is the strong support. I have noted couple of more supports below the strong one. Please let me know if you have any questions please trade on your own risk.

KIEV, Ukraine, May 24 -- McDonald's has opened its first restaurant in the Ukrainian capital Kiev ('KEY-ef').
Company officials say McDonald's is investing $100 million in Ukraine and will open seven outlets this year. The first restaurant took 99 days to build. Ukraine, with a population of 51 million, is the second-largest market in the region after Russia. McDonald's says the second branch will open in a month in Kharkov ('HAR-kawf') in eastern Ukraine. Company officials say McDonald's plans to have as many as 85 outlets in the former Soviet republic by 2000. It has operated in Russia since 1990. ---

Post by Former NIMH Director Thomas Insel: No Health Without Mental Health
By Thomas Insel on September 6, 2011
Follow the NIMH Director on Twitter
Five years ago, Colton and Mandersheidi surveyed mortality data from eight states and concluded that, on average, Americans with major mental illness die 14 to 32 years earlier than the general population. The average life expectancy for people with major mental illness ranged from 49 to 60 years of age in the states they examined — a life span on par with many sub-Saharan African countries, including Sudan (58.6 years) and Ethiopia (52.9 years).ii Average life expectancy in the United States is 77.9 years.iii It would appear that the increase in longevity enjoyed by the general U. S. population over the past half century has been lost on those with serious mental illness (SMI). In fact, this drop in life expectancy due to mental illness would surpass the health disparities reported for most racial or ethnic groups. Yet this population is rarely identified as an underserved or at-risk group in surveys of the social determinants of health. iv
Why is there such a profound disparity in life expectancy for those with SMI? Disorders such as schizophrenia, major depression, and bipolar disorder are risk factors for suicide, but most people with SMI do not die by suicide. Rather, the 5 percent of Americans who have SMI die of the same things that the rest of the population experiences — cancer, heart disease, stroke, pulmonary disease, and diabetes. They are more likely to suffer chronic diseases associated with addiction (especially nicotine), obesity (sometimes associated with antipsychotic medication), and poverty (with its attendant poor nutrition and health care) and they may suffer the adverse health consequences earlier.
The risks are striking. People with a mental illness are more than twice as likely to smoke cigarettes and more than 50 percent more likely to be obese compared to the rest of the population.v But this only partly explains the premature mortality. Recently, when Druss and colleagues analyzed the early mortality data derived from a nationally representative survey, they found three drivers: clinical risk factors, socioeconomic factors, and health system factors. vi
The clinical risk factors include the frequent co-occurrence of mental illness with heart disease, diabetes or other medical conditions, generally referred to as "comorbidity." For example, people with major depressive disorder are at higher risk for cardiovascular disease and stroke.vii Conversely, for those who have had a heart attack, experiencing depression increases their risk for cardiac-related death three-fold, more than any cardiovascular variable except congestive heart failure. And people with diabetes have double the risk for depression.viii We do not fully understand the relationship between diabetes or heart disease and depression, but current thinking attributes the increased risk to both depressive behaviors (e.g., poor diet, low activity, low adherence to treatment) as well as some common biology such as elevated inflammatory factors.
While we are still trying to understand the cause of comorbidity between mental disorders and other health problems, the health system factors may offer a better short-term target for change. Few people in the public mental health care system are receiving high quality health care.ix
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act outlines a specific model of integrated care, the patient-centered medical home (PCMH), which could improve access and quality of health care to those with multiple chronic disorders. The PCMH model includes comprehensiveness, holistic patient-centered care, and, emphasis on care in the community. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has been tasked with piloting a series of PCMHs and studying their impact over the coming years with the goal of wider dissemination in the future. Knowing that people with SMI are a high risk group for multiple chronic disorders and targeting the PCMH for their specific needs could be an effective approach to improving health outcomes for the entire population.
Short of a new health care system, there are models for improving health outcomes for people with mental illness. Collaborative care, in which primary care and mental health providers work closely together to deliver effective treatments within the primary care setting, represents a fundamental change toward addressing mental disorders in conjunction with other physical conditions. Over the past two decades more than 40 research trials have demonstrated the effectiveness of the collaborative care model. In the case of major depression, for example, studies have shown collaborative care programs to be an effective approach for treating depression alongside other conditions, and to be more cost-effective than standard treatment. A recent study indicates that implementing this approach for depression in the Medicare system would result in cost savings of approximately $15 billion annually. x
Collaborative care for depression and diabetes or depression and heart disease is the proverbial low hanging fruit. What about schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, which are usually treated in specialty mental health clinics rather than primary care? Is it better to add primary care capacity to the behavioral health center or to integrate patients with SMI into primary care? Can our current system, which separates behavioral health from health care, ever be "equal" in quality or outcomes? These remain research questions of urgent importance.
The unavoidable fact is that we will not improve overall longevity or contain health care costs in this nation without addressing the needs of the nearly 5 percent of Americans with serious mental illness. This is a population that not only dies early; they have multiple chronic diseases requiring expensive care, often in emergency rooms and intensive care units. We need better strategies for dealing with this urgent public health issue and we need to ensure that whether these strategies are collaborative care for depression or an innovative medical home for those with serious mental illness, we implement these interventions where the need is greatest.

Q: Why doesn't bind(object) binds this to object inside anoynamous function?
I am pretty new to javascript, and i am facing some problem understanding why my first code is not working as expected. I have read a few articles on "this", but it didn't help.
  var user_obj = {
      some_func : function () {
          alert("hello");
   }}

First code:
Here i am attaching an event listener to some element called elem. The attached function is a property of user_obj, but when i execute it, it gives me error "TypeError: this.some_func is undefined". My doubt is when i am using bind to explicitly bind this to user_obj, why is it giving this error.
document.getElementById("elem").addEventListener("click",(function () {this.some_func.bind(user_obj)})());

Second Code:
This works as expected.
document.getElementById("elem").addEventListener("click",this.some_func.bind(user_obj));

Thanks for the help.

A: bind() change the value of this inside the function, not outside.
In your first example the anonymous function use this to refer to global object.
If you want the anonymous function uses this to refers to user_obj you need to bind the anonymous function to user_obj, not some_func(), also because some_func() doesn't use this, so there is no need to bind it.
Look at the example: it prints the value of this in the anonymous function, first time binding it to user_obj, second time without binding

var user_obj = {
  some_func : function () {alert("hello");}
};

document.getElementById("elem").addEventListener("click",(function () {console.log(this)}.bind(user_obj))());

document.getElementById("elem").addEventListener("click",(function () {console.log(this)})());

Your second example works also without the bind(), because again it changes the value inside the function, where this isn't used. But since in your second example the call to the function isn't in an anonymous function, the value of this doesn't change to global object
BTW, it is getElementById(), not getElementByID() (please notice the d of Id)

A Big Push For Git
For about 12 months now, I've been running a Git source code repository on my Ubuntu server, and it's been working out great.
I had a small Subversion repository prior to that but decided to completely nuke it and start from scratch, so I can't talk about migration issues. What I can talk about is my fellow developers' attitudes when they found out that I was running a DVCS in a development shop with one seat, and a conventional client-server continuous-integration environment.
Hilarity:
"DVCSes are for big teams!"
"DVCSes are for people with laptops who get disconnected!"
Incredulity:
"But there's nothing wrong with Subversion!"
"Does it even work with a CI server?"
I understand why the new generation of version-control systems (Mercurial, Git, et al) feel the need to differentiate themselves from the previous generation, with that big 'D'. And yes, they do support a "highly-distributed" mode of operation very well. But this emphatically does not rule out using them in small, well-connected environments. Here's the silver bullet that shoots down the first 3 objections listed above:
With a DVCS, I can commit as many times as I like without those changes:
Being seen by anyone else
Triggering a build on my CI server
It doesn't sound like a big deal, but when you're working on a big change, it's really nice to be able to save incremental commits - possibly even (gasp!) broken commits without breaking the CI build. Your commit comment can summarise where you are in your refactor, and rolling back a failed experiment is trivially easy. When you are completely happy, just push the changes to the build box.
Please don't knock DVCSes until you've experienced the liberating yet confidence-inspiring feeling of local-commits combined with a continuous-integration server running a full build-and-test on "pushed" code. It really is the best of both worlds.
And as for toolchain support, Hudson's Git support works great, and I note that Atlassian's super-powerful Bamboo has added Git support. On the client side, I'm using the EGit plugin with good results - operationally, it feels almost exactly the same as Subversion, just with that extra all-important push option when it's time to show the build-box some new code.
As an aside, I plan on documenting the entire procedure for setting up a Git code repository and CI (Hudson) build server on the Ubuntu Server platform - for my reference as much as anything. Watch this space.

Ji So-yun (* 21. Februar 1991) ist eine südkoreanische Fußballnationalspielerin. Sie wurde im Jahr 2013 als Asiens Fußballspielerin des Jahres ausgezeichnet. Sie ist Rekordtorschützin der südkoreanischen Nationalmannschaft.

Dies gelang dann aber 2015, 2017 und 2017/18. Zudem gewann sie mit den Blues den Pokal in der Saison 2014/15 und 2017/18. Mit Chelsea nahm sie an der UEFA Women's Champions League 2015/16, 2016/17, 2017/182018/19 und 2020/21 teil.

Mit den Londonerinnen unterlag sie in der Saison 2020/21 im Champions-League-Finale den Spielerinnen des FC Barcelona mit 0:4. In 28 CL-Spielen erzielte sie sechs Tore.

Nationalmannschaft
Ji debütierte bereits als Fünfzehnjährige am 30. Oktober 2006 in einem Länderspiel gegen Kanada in der südkoreanischen Nationalmannschaft. In der Folge spielte sie zunächst jedoch auch für Nachwuchsnationalmannschaften des südkoreanischen Fußballverbandes und nahm unter anderem an der U-17-Fußball-Weltmeisterschaft der Frauen 2008 und der U-20-Fußball-Weltmeisterschaft der Frauen 2010 teil, wo sie als zweitbeste Spielerin mit dem silbernen Ball ausgezeichnet wurde. Bei der Fußball-Asienmeisterschaft der Frauen 2014 belegte Ji mit Südkorea den vierten Platz. An der Fußball-Weltmeisterschaft 2015 nahm sie ebenfalls teil und absolvierte alle Gruppenspiele Südkoreas. Gegen Costa Rica gelang ihr hierbei ihr erstes WM-Tor.

Am 8. April 2018 bestritt sie gegen Australien ihr 100. Länderspiel. Am 28. Februar 2019 erzielte sie gegen Argentinien ihr 50. Länderspieltor.
