All the beautiful women Leonardo DiCaprio has romanced -
Leonardo DiCaprio might be one of the most wanted actors and men in Hollywood. And although he once said that he preferred "ordinary girls," his dating history tells a whole different story. When it comes to his girlfriends, DiCaprio certainly has a type, and his predilection for models does not go unnoticed.
Curious about who he's dated? Click through this gallery to discover all the ladies who shared the actor's life.
Kate Moss - The British model dated the actor back in 1993. Both of them were just 20-years-old at the time and totally not serious about the relationship!
Naomi Campbell - It has long been reported that something was going on between the supermodel and the actor back in 1995. However, the two always claimed to just be good friends.
Bridget Hall - Leonardo DiCaprio had a fling with model Bridget Hall back in 1994. It's reported that she's the first Victoria's Secret model that he has dated.
Bridget Hall - Later, the model told New York Magazine that "nothing happened" between them.
Brittany Daniel - You might remember Brittany Daniel from the teen drama 'Sweet Valley High.' After starring in 'The Basketball Diaries' (1995) with DiCaprio, the two took their romance off-screen.
Brittany Daniel - Today, the actress is happily married to longtime boyfriend Adam Touni.
Kristen Zang - After his breakup with Brittany Daniel, DiCaprio went out with actress and model Kristen Zang for two years. They ended their relationship around the release of the 'Titanic' (1997).
Helena Christensen - DiCaprio and the stunning Danish model Helena Christensen reportedly partied together at the time blockbuster 'Titanic' came out. Christensen is one of the original Victoria's Secret models.
Natasha Henstridge - Actress and model Natasha Henstridge also had a fling with the actor back in 1997. But apparently it was nothing serious.
Amber Valletta - The story goes that DiCaprio spotted model Amber Valetta in a magazine and was completely blown away by her beauty. He had his staff arrange a meeting and they briefly dated in 1998.
Amber Valletta - Nowadays, the model forms a hot couple with well-known hairstylist Teddy Charles.
Bijou Phillips - In 1998, DiCaprio dated model and actress Bijou Phillips. She later credited him for getting her a role in the movie 'Black and White' (1999). It was on the set of this film that she met co-star Elijah Wood, with whom she had a short relationship.
Eva Herzigova - The actor and supermodel Eva Herzigova had a fling in 1998, or so the story goes. Their relationship has never been confirmed.
Gisele Bündchen - When these two started dating each other in 1999, the world thought that the actor had finally found "The One" since it was one of his longest public relationships.
Gisele Bündchen - But sadly, after five beautiful years together they decided to split. In an interview with 'Access Hollywood' she stated: "We know what we had; we were very young, and we grew together in a lot of ways. We were just not meant to be boyfriend and girlfriend, but I respect him enormously, and I wish him nothing but the best." Bündchen is now married to NFL superstar Tom Brady.
Bar Refaeli - After Bündchen, the actor moved on to another Victoria's Secret talent, Israeli model Bar Refaeli. They met in 2005 at a party in Los Angeles, and dated on-and-off until 2011.
Bar Refaeli - The couple allegedly grew apart because of their busy schedules. The model married businessman Adi Ezra in 2015, and has two children with him.
Anne Vyalitsyna - During one of his many breakups with Bar Refaeli, it was rumored that the actor was having a short romance with Anne Vyalitsyna, another Victoria's Secret model. The two were spotted together in Ibiza.
Blake Lively - Right before forming one of Hollywood's hottest couples with Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively dated Leonardo DiCaprio for five months in 2011.
Mădălina Ghenea - During the shooting of 'The Great Gatsby' (2013), DiCaprio met stunning Romanian fashion model and actress Mădălina Ghenea. It's rumored that they briefly dated.
Erin Heatherton - DiCaprio and model Erin Heatherton met through friends who thought they were made for each other. They dated for 10 months in 2012, but allegedly broke up due to their crazy schedules.
Erin Heatherton - "He's [DiCaprio] a wonderful person and he's a friend of mine, I wish him all the best.", she told Daily Mail Australia.
Toni Garrn - In May 2013, the actor met another model. This time the lucky girl was Victoria's Secret model Toni Garrn, who was 23-years-old at the time.
Toni Garrn - The two were romantically involved for about 18 months. However, in 2017 they were spotted hanging out together in New York City. Funny thing is that she wasn't the only model he hung out with on that day!
Kelly Rohrbach - Model Kelly Rohrbach was "honored" to make it on the actor's list of model girlfriends. There were rumors that the two lovebirds were even engaged. But that's never been confirmed.
Kelly Rohrbach - Just like with his other relationships, this too didn't last. After several months of dating, DiCaprio was single again.
Nina Agdal - In the summer of 2017, the actor was spotted with Danish model Nina Agdal. They dated each other for over a year, but ultimately decided to call it quits. DiCaprio, however, didn't stay single for too long...
Camila Morrone - The new leading lady in DiCaprio's life is: 21-year-old Argentinian model Camila Morrone! They've been dating since around April 2018, and are still going strong.
Camila Morrone - Is the 44-year-old actor finally ready to settle down? Or will he soon move on to another model? Time will tell.

Q: JSON, MYSQL, SELECT Есть объекты JSON в бд следующего типа:
{
    "0": {
        "rating": -1,
        "user": 1
    },
    "1": {
        "rating": -1,

    },
    "3": {
        "rating": 1,
        "user": 4
    }
}

Как с помощью SELECT можно изъять кол-во "rating" = -1/1? И оптимально ли вообще хранить подобные сведения в json или лучше заводить отдельную таблицу?

A: Получить количество записей Вы можете при помощи COUNT в mysql.
Для того, чтобы искать данные по ключу в json, можно воспользоваться JSON_CONTAINS:
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM `table` WHERE JSON_CONTAINS(`param`, '{\"rating\":1}')"

Где первым параметром мы указываем название столбца (В примере param), а вторым значением указываем искомый ключ со значением.
В примере будет выведено количество записей в БД, где в столбце param будет находиться json объект, в котором будет одним из ключей будет являться rating а его значением будет 1.
Пример данных в таблице:

В целом, может эксперты скажут точнее, но лучше делать записи отдельно по ключам для наибольшего удобства и скорости поиска.
Но, Вы вполне можете искать данные и в json объектах записей в БД.

Chris, Sarah and I decided to do a portion of the Bruce Trail as part of a weekend trip. The Bruce Trail itself stretches from the Niagara Peninsula all the way up to Tobermory. As you can imagine, the landscape changes quite a bit over a trail that long so we figured we would hike a section that allowed us to follow the coast line of Georgian Bay so we could take in the coastline views and finish in Tobermory itself. Chris and I left Ottawa after work and stopped overnight in Toronto which is where Sarah was working at the time. The next day, we traveled North to our destination and as we zipped in and out of small towns, we came across a small restaurant in Wiarton that was aptly named 3 Friends Cafe. It seemed appropriate that we stop there for lunch and after a tasty meal we were on our way again.
We reached our campground, Happy Hearts Tent and Trailer Park without incident and setup our tents and gear for the weekend. Yes, you read that correctly. The campground was called Happy Hearts. While the name is quite campy (har har), it was a good campground for out tenting needs and would happily (again, pun intended) recommend it to anyone looking for a place. After setting up, we explored the area and went on a tour of Flowerpot Island. The next day, as we were headed to our drop off point, I was reminded of the time I had hiked this section of the Bruce Trail with Jonathan. To this day, he reminds me how I almost marched him to death on that hike. Truth be told it is one heck of a workout so I'm okay with him ribbing me about it since I may have misled him on what was required to do it. During that hike, it was Jonathan who started singing "It's a long way to Tipperary" but he replaced Tipperary with Tobermory and it became a theme song up until the point where he blanked out and fell into a trance likes state where conversation with him was not possible. To this day, he still cannot remember the latter portions of that hike. We probably should not have worn running shoes for the hike.
For my second hike through this area, Chris, Sarah and I setup the trip so that we left our car in at our campground near Tobermory and then found someone to drive us out to the trail head the area called "The Dump". That way we only needed one car and we put ourselves in the situation where we had to finish if we wanted to get back to the car. Not that we needed to but we always thought it was fun to throw in an incentive for whatever we do. In total, we did roughly 24km of hiking that day. The first 23km was trail hiking that ended in Tobermory and the last 1km was the walk back to our campground. The last bit was tough as we were done the trail, had rested a bit in town but our feet were still quite sore and we had to hike along the highway back to our base. Hiking on relatively flat ground for 23km is not a very tough endeavour but when you add rocks, roots, hills and boulder beaches, your feet take a beating.
The Peninsula section of the Bruce Trail is stunning. As you follow the Escarpment along the coast, you are rewarded with the view of white cliffs, beautiful forests and a sweeping view of deep blue water. Combining all those colours makes for some very good photo opportunities so you will want to bring a camera along for this hike. As we hiked, I looked around and started wondering if I was still in Ontario because it felt like we were in some tropical location. That belief was quickly dispelled as we ended up swimming in the freezing waters of Georgian Bay at about the 1/2 way point when we stopped for lunch. The water was cold, even for me and it was only through constant activity that we were able to stay in for any length of time. We also also came across a caved called "The Grotto" which was fun to swim in. Inside the cave, you can see a tunnel that leads out into the Georgian Bay and though we were tempted to try and swim through it, we knew from our diving courses that distances under water can be deceptive so we opted not to.
After many hours of hiking, we finally stepped out of the forest and into Tobermory. As we walked streets, we suddenly smelled the sweet scent of fudge. After such a long hike, we figured we were up for a treat so we stopped in for a quick purchase and with smiles on our faces, we started the walk back to our campground.
If you are able to do this hidden gem of a hike, I strongly recommend it as it is relatively close to everyone and the only barrier to entry is fitness.
Up close and personal with one of the mini boulder beaches. Great for ankle rolling.
A perfect summer day with the perfect view.
The trail has small lookout points you can jump out to from time to time.
Inside the cave there was a swimming area that had a tempting underwater tunnel.


The Railyard condominiums were originally constructed in the early 80's & presently offer an affordable solution to downtown Austin condo living. Austin's convention center was constructed across the street from The Railyard, as well as the downtown Hilton Hotel. The Railyard offers excellent proximity to 6th St, the Warehouse District, & the up & coming 2nd St District.


Austin-based Silas Lowe is a modern American roots musician with one foot deeply planted in the musical heritage of a fading rural south, and the other standing on the main streets of today.
He will be joined by local fave Andy Lentz on fiddle! On stage Andy always delivers surging energy and easy chemistry with fellow musicians, whether the group needs a natural leader or an easygoing support player. We are so excited to see these two team up for a great set this June at the Eighth Annual Davis Music Fest!


From small intranet solutions to the large web portals, we can help on end-to-end development.
During last 10 years the world has witnessed a shift to Browser based applications from the Desktop applications. Traditionally the areas that were considered the choice for Desktop applications (like database front-ends) have gradually moved to Browser based model. From the perspective of clients this has results in easy software management on large networks.
We have delivered numerous Portals / Web Applications particularly the Business Software that were browser based. Our most recent portfolio includes Web Applications that were based on HTML5 frameworks providing rich user experience. At the backend we use RESTful web services API. This results in clear division of front-end and back-end code. That also implies much easier project planning and management as different teams work on front-end and back-end.

Road Trail Run: The North Face Gore CloseFit Tricot Gloves Review: New Infinium fabric tech creates a remarkably comfortable, versatile, multi activity, all seasons companion!
The North Face Gore CloseFit Tricot Gloves Review: New Infinium fabric tech creates a remarkably comfortable, versatile, multi activity, all seasons companion!
The NorthFace Gore CloseFit Tricot Gloves represent one of the very first products made with Gore's new Infinium technology. Gore created Infinium ( a sandwich of membrane and other fabrics) for situations when "comfort and performance take priority over waterproofness." The single seam Closefit gloves are thin, soft, only slightly stretchy, very form fitting and well articulated. They are highly wind resistant and very breathable, as well as decently water resistant but are not waterproof. They are a great companion for high output activities such as running and as a super functional (grip and touch screen use) liner under heavier gloves and mittens.
The palm starting at the thumb and the next two fingers have a series of printed silicone dots for what has proven to be great grip and durability.
All the fingertips and rest of the palm have U/R Powered soft shell for five finger touch screen operation.
During our four tester evaluation, thanks to the Infinium's wind resistance and some very light brushed fleece on the back of the hand they have served as a standalone glove for a variety of high output activities down into the 20's F / -3 to 4 C for some of us, as well as liner under alpine ski mittens. At somewhat warmer temperatures, they have also proven comfortable absorbing little moisture despite their snug fit. Of course your own hand comfort range will be personal. The wide range of temperatures comfortably possible, durability, touch screen operation functionality, and sleek looks truly make these gloves a multi season, multi activity piece of gear that should always be in your pack or bag!
Jeff: I didn't really have any expectations, but the gloves are thinner than I imagined and also more tapered at the wrist, meaning that even the men's glove has a tapered women's glove look (I had to double check the packaging to confirm they are indeed Men's). There is no insulation beyond a very thin brushed fleece on the back of the hands, nor any substantive cloth pile. There is a taut, but somewhat stretchy feel to them. Quality feels top notch with a nice grippy non slip coating on the upper palm, extending along the thumb, forefinger and middle finger to help grip ski poles and other winter tools and to reduce the chances of fumbling slippy items like an iPhone.
I have very thin hands/fingers (wedding band size 7.5), and normally wear a medium glove and these fit true to size, long enough for my fingers, reaching the ends without feeling confined or having extra material at the tips.
Sam: I noticed that after 3 or 4 uses the women's medium which I shared with Dominique has stretched some. I usually wear a size men's size medium glove. Don't size up from your normal glove size, these are designed to fit snug and too much room will have you struggling with the touch screen capabilities. If you don't care about the touch screen capability sizing up will allow you to ball your hands some when really cold as I did with the X Large pair Gore sent.
Sally: First of all, let's preface this with the fact that I almost always prefer a mitten, unless the temp is over 40 degrees. My hands are always cold. For last year's cold and wet Boston Marathon, I dressed in far more kit than others advised, and yet I was comfortably warm and finished the marathon without hypothermia. EXCEPT for my hands! No amount of wool mitten liner, waterproof (supposedly) outer mitt, and handwarmers could keep my hands functional.
So I rarely choose a glove over a mitten for warmth.
We did not see mild temps in New England until yesterday, so I was excited to finally give these gloves a try. I might be a petite female runner, but I have large "manhands" and wear a glove size 8. The women's small fit a bit snug on my hands, particularly the trigger finger. Others have said that they stretch a bit after several wears, so I am hoping for that. The fingers were plenty long. These gloves are very light, comfortable, and smart looking. The long gauntlet wrist is unique - hoping it will serve to keep my wrists warm, and hence my hands.
Jeff: I have used the gloves trail running in temps from as low as the mid 20's in the dark with high winds and dabbing hands in fresh snow, all the way up to the 50's and sunny. I found them to be adequate for those mid 20's temps if you are moving at least at a moderate intensity and generating heat, but if moving at a casual pace or stopping for a few minutes, my fingers got cold and then had trouble warming up again. At warmer temps, like 30's and 40's, I had no trouble staying warm. I should note that although I have a tendency to dress more conservatively on the side of warm, more often than not I prefer and am comfortable with non insulated, but thin clothy glove liners for most of my runs in the mid 20's up to ~50 degrees. Colder than mid 20's, I'll wear a slightly thicker glove liner type glove (but this is all for high output activity).
On a recent calm, mid day sunny run in the 50's, my hands were comfortable and not too warm.
Water resistance is excellent, having made slushy snowballs and dabbed my hand in fresh fluffy snow on cold runs without any soaking. I do find that my hands can get a touch clammy and damp from the inside, but the Gore Infinium keeps the wind out and heat contained which beats a soaked out, more porous liner.
When my hands are somewhat clammy (when running hard), I find that I have to work them a bit to pull them off (vs. quickly sliding off gloves by clenching the tip of the middle finger in my teeth and sliding them off).
Touch screen performance is good. The actual touch sensitivity is excellent, though I find that with any glove, precision is compromised as one would expect. I can operate my iPhone 8 such that I can punch in my passcode, take a photo, answer a call, make a call, check texts, activate Siri or perform basic app. operations, but if the target of what you are trying to press is small, then it can take a few tries. I would by no means be able to type any text and often outside the most basic operations, prefer to remove my glove, or wait till later.
Dexterity is excellent and I am able to easily operate my GPS watch, wireless headphones, zippers, clips, buckles, etc….
So far durability is good. I have seen no wear whatsoever with the gloves, using them for daily runs, while grabbing rocks and trees, etc....I will update after more use and see how long it takes me to blow through the fingertips, which always happens to me due to rock scrambling or using my hands a lot on very steep runs.
Dominique: The North Face Gore-Tex Closefit Tricot Gloves, proved to be multi-functional, super versatile as well as free of wear and tear, after weeks of sporting them during the month of January in Park City, UT where I used them to run, Nordic ski, Alpine ski as well as for general wear. They totaled over 65 miles of nordic skiing, 10 days of Alpine skiing under mittens, and every day wear, including to Sundance movies. Below a picture of what they look like now.
With the exception of some light wear of the silicone dots on the first two fingers below the touch screen soft shell, they are like new. Obviously, they are not a dedicated nordic ski glove with their leather palm and often double layers of palm reinforcements, but for more occasional holding of poles and certainly for running and everyday use one should expect at least a couple of years of use out of them.
I ventured to wear the gloves cross country skiing, spurred by their close fit and sleek design, as well as their breathable, water resistant, and windproof qualities. On colder days, hand warmth was a bit compromised, however, the ease of strapping my poles to my hands was noticeable as well as the lack of blisters – not always a given! The five-finger touch screen capability allowed me to operate my phone without having to remove my gloves although I had to make sure that the tips of my fingers were in tight contact with the tips of the glove fingers.
When Alpine skiing, I wore the gloves as a liner to my mittens for added comfort and protection.
Unlike wool liners, the gloves with their silicone dots on the palms enabled me to get a good grip on my skis when holding them without mittens.
Again, I really appreciated the five-finger touch screen capability when operating my phone so that I could keep my gloves on and my hands warm. Despite their sleek and thin and snug design, their somewhat looser long wirst length provides enough room for a layer with thumbholes to fit under the glove when added warmth is needed and also rolled back easily enough to see a GPS watch.
In terms of warmth, this is a factor a bit hard to determine and based on everyone tolerances. Back in New Hampshire, I wore them running in 22 F weather with a wind chill factor of 14 F. My hands felt fine though they would have felt cold if I had been Nordic skiing with wind on downhills. I was fine nordic skiing in Park City well down into the 20's with no wind.
Testing gear, as I frequently do, means that some items will get more long term use than others. The North Face Gore-Tex Closefit Tricot Gloves have become my favorite gloves and I wear them driving, grocery shopping, and walking around town, in addition to skiing (as described above) and running.
Sally: Runners who prefer gloves in the colder months are going to love these for many reasons. They are sleek, comfortable, supple. The long back of the glove has great windblock capabilities. The dexterity while wearing these gloves is seemingly unparalleled - it is awesome to have touch screen capability in all the fingers, not just the one trigger finger.
You can easily operate your GPS watch, use your phone, or take a photo without removing them. They will be great around town gloves for the shoulder seasons here.
I remain unconvinced that they will be warm enough to keep my perennially cold hands warm on a run in chilly temps, but that is strictly a personal variation and preference. Milder days? I love them!
The only drawbacks (besides the above biggie) for me were the challenging overlap/incapability with the long gauntlet wrist and my GPS watch. I like to wear my Garmin against the skin for wrist heartrate accuracy, and that doesn't work with these gloves. I had to roll them/shove them above the wrist to make room for the watch, so that defeats the purpose of the design of the long wrist gauntlet.
Secondly, though the fabric on the backs of the thumb and the hand is surprisingly soft, there is no dedicated nose wipe fabric! Like thumb holes on a running top, this is a key feature for me.
Have you tried this in rainy weather yet? Wondering if this glove would be suitable in the spring/fall Pacific NW where temps are mild but can be wet.


Daredevil membership of a Sheffield activity group is climbing - after a dedicated practice facility was created in a park.
Parkour - where people use their body to move between places as efficiently as possible - is booming in the city.
On Saturday soldiers and members of Sheffield Parkour Movement demonstrated the practice in Endcliffe Park - wowing passers-by with their jumps and flips and encouraging youngsters to give simpler moves a try.
A training space opened at the park - providing an alternative to the urban setting people usually practice in - last year after a five-year campaign secured £20,000.
It is the only one of its kind in the north of England.
Ahmed Saricicek, aged 24, and of Abbeydale, said the number of people taking part in Parkour in Sheffield had 'tripled' in six months.
He said: "When this facility first opened we came and practiced for 12 hours.
"It's so important because it gives us the freedom to train as much as we want.
Ecclesall Coun Diana Stimely has been involved with the campaign for five years.
The facility was paid for with funding from the Ministry of Defence through a community covenant grant scheme.
Sheffield Council's covenant has, since 2011, encourage people to support the armed forces locally.


Watching the protesters carrying EU flags and placards marching yesterday towards Parliament Square was nothing short of the Game of Thrones' epic.
Game Of Thrones' star Lena Headey, was among the celebrities who took it to the streets yesterday together with Claudia Winkleman, Neil Tennant and at least one million people like you and me, who give themselves permission to think for themselves.
Little I knew that having lunch with my friend at the Methodist Church in Westminster I will see Sadiq Khan and his team behind the scenes, while the march was growing regardless what their leaders think or, should I say, clearly, don't think, anymore. It is time for leaders to understand that leadership is not about themselves anymore?
If you love storytelling you don't need to sit on a sofa and travel back into a medieval fantasy. You could step into the epic of a reality that affects humanity and it will do so for decades to come. Brexit is one of the top three calamities that are a menace to society at present, alongside the tag of war in Venezuela and the imminence of an atomic war ( Bloomberg).
We were five hours after the march began and everybody who left their homes across the UK to join the march in Central London was thinking about their children's future, and re-thinking the whole existence of Article 50.
"What gives us the right to steal our children's right to prosperity?" Camille, a business owner from Bristol said.
Crowds were peacefully showing their choice and if hundreds of thousand people had turned up it wasn't to outgrow the biggest protest- Stop the War march in 2003, but to he heard.
Unlike the politicians and experts I had no choice but listened to, I believe that the cause of this forced drop of the Sterling is not the leadership crises that is affecting us. Not at all. This is a "Divide and conquer" game.
When George R.R. Martin's best-selling book series "A Song of Ice and Fire" turned into a HBO's sensational story, we never imagined that we will have our fair share of sensational depiction between two powerful contenders for the Iron Throne.
If the fantasy revolves around the two families playing a deadly game for control of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, Brexit is not about the United Kingdom leaving European Union, and Sovereignty, after all, but the supremacy game between Europe and America. You could argue this is another fantasy but who can stop me seeing what is happening in front of me, with my own eyes?

'Walking out gives me shivers'
Fourteen games into his Swansea City career, Joe Rodon still gets shivers every time he walks out onto the pitch at the Liberty.
The local lad, who hails from Llangyfelach, is loving life representing his hometown team.
It didn't seem that long ago that Rodon, then a season ticket holder, was singing the names of his heroes as they graced the turf.
Now the supporters are signing his name as the centre-back continues to further strengthen his position in the heart of Graham Potter's defence.
A graduate of the club's successful academy which has also nurtured the likes of young Welsh duo Connor Roberts and Daniel James – to name but a few – Rodon has made a rapid rise at the Liberty.
A loan spell at League Two side Cheltenham Town last season handed him his first taste of senior football.
Having impressed in SA1 under Potter, the 21-year-old recently signed a new deal which keeps him at the club until 2022. His performances for his club attracted the attention of his country, with Wales boss Ryan Giggs including him in his squad as an unused substitute last month for games against Spain and Ireland.
And he's loving every minute of life at the Swans.
"Walking out onto the pitch gives me shivers," said Rodon. "It means so much more being from Swansea and wearing that crest on my chest.
"There are no words to describe it.
"To look back to when I was singing in the stands and move forward to now when I am part of the dressing room and on the pitch, it's an incredible transformation.
"I'll never get used to the fans signing my name – it's amazing and a dream come true.
"I love every minute of it and I hope there are a lot more memorable moments to come."
Having made a fine start to his senior Swans career, Rodon is under no illusions that he has plenty to improve on.
"The more games I play the more comfortable I will get," added Rodon.
"Away from home is a different experience from playing at the Liberty, so the more games I play I feel I will benefit from.
"I feel we – not just myself – are getting better game by game. Hopefully we will continue to do that."
Joe Rodon completes move to Tottenham Hotspur
Swansea City defender Joe Rodon has completed a transfer to Tottenham Hotspur for an undisclosed fee, subject to international clearance.
Joe Rodon named Swansea City Community Player of the Year
Joe Rodon has been named Swansea City's PFA Community Player of the Year for the 2019-20 season by the club's Community Trust.
Joe Rodon | I'm looking ahead, not dwelling on the past
Joe Rodon insists he is only looking ahead and there "are no excuses" as he looks to be a key figure in Swansea City's 2020-21 campaign.
Joe Rodon | Clean sheets an all-round team effort
Joe Rodon believes Swansea City's pair of clean sheets to start the Championship season are an indicator of the whole team's attitude to defensive work.

Oswald Chambers was born in Aberdeen, Scotland, in 1874, the youngest son of a Baptist minister. He spent his boyhood years in Perth; then his family moved to London when Oswald was fifteen. Shortly after the move to London, Oswald made his public profession of faith in Christ and became a member of Rye Lane Baptist Church. This marked a period of rapid spiritual growth, along with an intense struggle to find God's will and way for his life. Oswald Chambers was not famous during his lifetime. At the time of his death in 1917 at the age of forty-three, only three books bearing his name had been published. Among a relatively small circle of Christians in Britain and the U.S., Chambers was much appreciated as a teacher of rare insight and expression, but he was not widely known.

Q: Get js and css from gem without pipeline I created gem for plugins for Redmine.
Nowadays I have task for adding some javascript and css file to my gem, but I don't know how I can include this file to plugin. Because Redmine didn't use pipeline I can't use:
//= require my_redmine_gem

What are the right way for this task?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Maybe copy to plugin folder with rake or generator?

A: There is a hook in Redmine which allow you to add any resource your plugin need.
You can use it this way:
module MyRedminePlugin
  class Hooks < Redmine::Hook::ViewListener
    #adds our css on each page
    def view_layouts_base_html_head(context)
      stylesheet_link_tag("my_css_file", :plugin => "my_redmine_plugin")
    end
  end
end

Then you have to put your css and js files in your plugin in the assets/stylesheets or assets/javascripts folders.

A: I'm not sure about Redmine, but I've created a Gem before, with its own asset payload:

If you hook into your Rails app properly, this will append the assets into your own asset pipeline, allowing you to reference them as if they were stored locally.
You can either put them into:
-- [gem root]
|-- assets
  |-- images
    |-- [here]
|-- vendor
  |-- assets
    |-- [or here]


Food for Thought, Food for Health: 7 ways (and counting) plant-based eating changed me for the better.
I have found that the connection between what I eat and how I feel, that is my attention span and mental clarity, and my health (BP, cholesterol, etc), is profound. It is profound in many ways. I find myself saying, "I just feel better since I changed what I eat." Here is a partial list of the ways I feel better.
I have lost about 20 lbs in the last two years and kept it off even when I do not faithfully stay on my exercise regimen.
2. I have (finally) lost my craving for sugar. I have had an up and down (yes, I intended that pun) relationship with sugar all of my life. Eat sugary food, get the sugar buzz, 30-60 minutes later start to crash, repeat. As a kid I would eat an entire box of Capt'n Crunch or other sugary cereal in one sitting. Every package of cookies, no matter how large, has always been a single serving.
3. My numbers are good. Blood pressure 102/60, resting HR around 55 bpm, Total cholesterol 134, no signs of blockage in my blood vessels, BMI is within normal range, now wearing the same size pants that I was in high school.
5. I seem to have more energy. Since eating a plant based, whole-food diet I notice more energy, but I do not feel buzzed like I would from sugar or caffeine. I do not want to demonize sugar of caffeine. Before I would begin any project or activity I would find myself consuming one of these two things, or both, and then having them at the ready. I have found that without them I have plenty of calm, focused energy and attention by eating enough good food to fuel the task at hand. I also find that my attention span is much longer now than before the switch to whole, plant-based foods.
6. I seem to recover from strenuous exercise more quickly. I am a runner and I am sixty two years old. I have run seven half-marathons in the last ten years. The last two I trained for eating a whole food, plant-based diet. I recovered more quickly from my workouts, but that isn't the coolest part. I recover more quickly from exercise around the house; working in the yard, painting the house, carrying around bags of mulch and wheelbarrows of dirt. I recover from that more quickly, too.
7. I have a noticeable decrease in allergy-like congestion and sinus drainage.
I would love to talk and answer questions about food or body work. Get in touch.

David Greyson is a 20 year old American singer/songwriter. He is an alternative pop artist influenced by R&B, hip hop, and indie. He has recently released his mixtape/album "Summer's Over". It is a climatic declaration of self love and touches on the darkness and pain in took to get there. We are sharing our interview with him.
Twist Online : First of all, tell us about the start of your professional career.
David Greyson : I think the fantasy was embedded in my brain since I saw "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen" as a child with Lindsey Lohan. She got this part in this musical and was sort of obsessed with fame, I think. I just thought she was a badass and I wanted to sing on stage too and be a badass. As I grew up, I realized how important music had become to me. One of my favorite artists of all time Angel Haze came out with this song called "Angels and Airwaves". It was so inspirational to me, having similiar past experiences and trauma with her, to hear and see how she overcame those obstacles with music. It struck me.
Twist Online : Tell us about your recently released mixtape "Summer's Over?
David Greyson : There's concept albums, right? Well, this is is a concept mixtape. As soon as you begin "Intro: Winter is Coming" you come along with me on a journey of going crazy, losing myself, finding myself, through the darkness and the light, and the lows and the highs. The mixtape is something I think you have to experience from start to finish to fully appreciate.
Twist Online : Any particular track(s) of the mixtape that's your favorite?
David Greyson : One of my favorite tracks on the mixtape is "Lover VS Lover". It touches on a kinda dark subject: being in an abusive relationship. I wanted this song to represent the toll that something like that takes on your mind, your heart, and your soul. There's definitely some dark stuff in it, but it's one of the most personal to me.
David Greyson : I have big dreams, but we're taking baby steps there until now. Living in the moment and just making sure I'm proud of what I'm putting out.
David Greyson : I am actually working on the follow up to "Summer's Over". All I will say is it is a much more focused and driven project.


در سال‌های اخیر، مطالعه رفتار اشیاء نقطه‌ای و تجزیه و تحلیل خطوط‌سیر آن‌ها در علوم مختلف، بویژه در علوم اطلاعات مکانی، مورد توجه بسیاری از محققان قرار گرفته است. مطالعاتمذکوربه درک صحیح الگوهای رفتاری-حرکتی این اشیاء کمک شایانی می‌کنند. نحوه حرکت اشیاء تا حد زیادی متأثر از زمینه‌ای است که حرکت در آن صورت می‌پذیرد. به همین دلیل،تحلیل خطوط سیر اشیا صرفاً با در نظر گرفتن ابعاد مکانی و مکانی-زمانی به درستی شرایط حین حرکت را منعکس نمی‌کند و منجر به نتایج غیرواقعی می‌شود.با این حال، روش‌های موجود اندازه‌گیری فاصله تنها قادر به اندازه‌گیری تشابه خطوط سیر در ابعاد مکانی و مکانی-زمانی هستند و معمولاً بعد زمینه را نادیده می‌گیرند. بنابراین، در این تحقیق، روشی نوین توسعه داده شده است، تا بتوان از طیف وسیعی از اطلاعات زمینه‌ای کمی و کیفی داخلی و خارجی در کنار ابعاد مکانی-زمانی در فرآیند اندازه‌گیری تشابه خطوط سیر غیر هم‌اندازه استفاده کرد. در توسعه روش مذکور، از سیستم‌هایاستنتاج فازی برای مدلسازی تشابه خطوط سیر با استفاده از انواع داده‌های حرکتی و اطلاعات زمینه‌ای بهره گرفته شده است. برای افزایش کارایی روش پیشنهادی از ساختار سلسله مراتبی مبتنی بر مسئله و تولید و تنظیم همزمان توابع عضویت و مجموعه قواعد از طریق یادگیری استفاده شده است. عملکرد این سیستم با اعمال آن برروی مجموعه خطوط سیر واقعی افراد پیادهودوچرخه‌سوار به همراه اطلاعات زمینه‌ای آنها حین حرکت مورد ارزیابی قرار گرفته است. نتایج بیانگرکارآمدی روش پیشنهادی در اندازه‌گیری زمینه-آگاه خطوط سیر با اندازه‌های گوناگون و در ابعاد مختلف است.
With the developments in navigation, positioning, and tracking technologies, a large amount of moving point data (e.g., human, vehicle, animal) have been produced. Through moving an object in the course of time, a sequence of its position is recorded which is known as trajectory. Studying the behaviors of point objects and analyzing their trajectories have recently received great attentions among researchers in different fields of science, especially in geographic information science. Such studies contribute to better understanding of movement-behavior patterns of moving objects. Data mining, as one of the main approaches in geographic knowledge discovery, is normally used in moving databases to extract information from moving point objects' trajectories. Analyzing the similarity of trajectories as one of the frequently used approaches in geographic data mining, is of great importance, which is normally performed by distance functions.
The way an object moves is highly influenced from the condition and situation (known as context) where movement takes place. Therefore, merely analyzing trajectories from their spatiotemporal dimension may not clearly reflect the conditions and situations (contexts) during the move, and may lead to unrealistic results. Accordingly, most of the present distance functions are only able to measure the similarity of trajectories at spatial and spatiotemporal dimensions and neglect the underlying context during the move. Therefore, developing a new trajectory similarity measure approach, capable of handling a wide range of context information in conjunction with spatiotemporal dimension becomes crucial.
According to the complexity and variety in the moving objects' datasets, especially in their context parameters, in this research, a fuzzy model is developed which is able to exploit a wide range of internal and external context information in similarity measure process of multi-length trajectories. Specifically, a fuzzy inference system (FIS) is used for measuring the similarity between trajectories based on qualitative and quantitative context information. To enhance the effectiveness of the system, a subjective hierarchical fuzzy inference system (HFIS) is designed and the membership functions and rules are generated and adjusted based on learning. The HFIS controls the rules by dividing a FIS into several simple sub-systems that are hierarchically connected to each other. The Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization (MOPSO) algorithm is used for defining and adjusting the FIS.
The performance of the system is assessed by applying it on real trajectories of pedestrians' and cyclists' datasets in the Central Park of Manhattan, New York, USA, while accounting contextual information. The movement parameters and context information were recorded in qualitative and quantitative formats. Two types of context information are used: 1) internal context (i.e., all of the properties that directly relate to the moving object, such as eagerness), and 2) external context (i.e., any factor that extrinsically influences the process of movement, such as slope). According to the nature of data, four models of spatial, spatiotemporal, spatiotemporal-internal context, and spatiotemporal-internal-external context are applied on the dataset to see the added value of each parameter.
The achievements of the implementations can be discussed from two main perspectives: 1) system performance, and 2) similarity results. From the system performance aspect, the control surface plots indicate the consistency of the rules in the developed fuzzy inference systems. In addition, the Pareto diagrams for both pedestrians' and cyclists' models cover the Pareto fronts in all four models in an appropriate manner.
From the similarity results aspect that are shown in boxplots, the commonalities between both pedestrians' and cyclists' trajectories are very high at the spatial dimension in the first model, while by adding the temporal dimension as the second model, the similarity range at the spatiotemporal dimension increases. This issue is directly related to the traversed paths and the elapsed times of the moving objects. By importing the internal contexts (i.e., speed, direction, length, eagerness) as the third model, the similarity range again increases but the median decreases. However, the distribution in the pedestrians' similarity values is much more than the cyclists' values. The fourth model is composed of all the previous parameters plus the external contexts (i.e., path difficulty and slope). The same as previous trends, the similarity range increases but the median decreases. Although the number of trajectories that share common characteristics are low when taking into account all the spatial, temporal, internal contexts, and external contexts in the implementation, the results become much more realistic and close to reality for both datasets.
In addition, to assess the influence of the internal and external contexts on the similarity output, a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) test, with a 95% confidence level, is applied on the results. Furthermore, a number of sensitivity analyses are applied on the datasets. The outcomes demonstrate meaningful influence of contexts on the similarity results of trajectories.
In this research a novel approach based on fuzzy systems is developed for multi-dimensional similarity measure of trajectories while accounting both internal and external context information. This approach enhances the previous similarity functions that only use spatial and temporal data. The developed models were applied on two real trajectory datasets, which were capable of handling both quantitative and qualitative information. The results indicate the effectiveness of the proposed context-aware similarity measure approach in revealing the commonalities between trajectories in multi dimensions.

This was my entry for Astronaut 2: Collision/Collapse, an online art project begun by Cooper Holoweski.
From the Astronaut website: The Astronaut Collective is a group of anonymous artists from around the world. Once a month, these brave men and women dedicate an hour of their lives to the greater artistic good.
Throughout this hour a low-frequency hum of creativity provides the unspoken linkage for these fearless heroes. It is this collective vibration that shapes individual production and bounds them as one.

Prick Up Your Ears (1987) Stephen Frears, Gary Oldman, Alfred Molina, Vanessa Redgrave
This film is the story of the spectacular life and violent death of British playwright Joe Orton. In his teens, Orton is befriended by the older, more reserved Kenneth Halliwell, and while the two begin a relationship, it's fairly obvious that it's not all about sex. Orton loves the dangers of bath-houses and liaisons in public restrooms; Halliwell, not as charming or attractive as Orton, doesn't fare so well in those environs. While both long to become writers, it is Orton who achieves fame – his plays "Entertaining Mr. Sloane" and "Loot" become huge hits in London of the sixties, and he's even commissioned to write a screenplay for the Beatles. But Orton's success takes him farther from Halliwell, whose response ended both his life and the life of the up-and-coming playwright.
Also Known As (AKA): Das stürmische Leben des Joe Orton, Ábrete de orejas, L'importanza di essere Joe, Vidas em Fúria

Meghan Markle's Ever-Evolving Hairstyles, From Her Signature Messy Bun to a Classic French Twist
When it comes to hairstyles, Meghan Markle can do it all—a classic French twist, which the Duchess of Sussex recently displayed during her trip to Fiji with Prince Harry; a low ponytail; a simple shoulder-length wavy look with a center part; and her favorite: a messy bun, which she has sported on more than one occasion, and which may have been part and parcel of a slight rule-breaking streak just before her royal wedding. Her hairstyles are a testament to her low-key rebellious spirit—she may be a duchess now, but she is still a woman of the people, and she knows that onlookers will analyze her style choices ad nauseam. So why not have a little fun with it, and why not bend the occasional royal tradition? Here, a look back at Meghan Markle's hairstyles transformations.

The bank's first location in Dubuque was on the northwest corner of Main and Sixth STREETS in what was known as the Jones Block. This proved a temporary location.

First National Bank's location for 95 years.
The bank soon took possession of a building on the northwest corner of Main and Fifth streets once occupied by Dubuque's branch of the STATE BANK OF IOWA. First National remained in this location for ninety-five years with expansions and modernization occurring twice.
First National Bank's location after 1962.
By 1962 continued growth left the bank in need of additional space. First National then constructed a modern banking facility on a site between Sixth and Seventh Streets on Locust.
During its years of service to the community, First National boasted many "firsts." The bank offered the first Christmas Club Accounts on January 1, 1921. In October 1954 First National announced "curb teller" and "walk-up window" services. The "curb teller" allowed a customer to ring for the attention of the cashier inside the bank, talk with the cashier over a two-way loudspeaker, and place his/her deposit into a small steel box which traveled by conveyor belt under the sidewalk into the bank in less than twenty seconds. The "walk-up window" with bullet-proof glass was next to the teller. Customers could communicate with the teller who used a two-way loudspeaker operated by foot pedal. A marquee protected the customer from rain or snow. (4) The merger of DUBUQUE THRIFT PLAN with First National Bank on January 1, 1955, led to the city's first installment loan department in a bank. The first junior savers' program was begun on June 7, 1962 and agri-business banking began in 1964.
In more recent years, First National was first to offer West Dubuque banking (October 28, 1968), North Dubuque banking (July 13, 1971), Asbury area banking (May 24, 1976) and was the first to offer combined banking services with its New Outlooks Club (April 4, 1974). First National initiated computer display terminals that provided customers with instantaneous response to their balance questions (January 1976) and was the first to offer their Automated Central Information File for customer accounts (November 1979). In February 1990, First National became the first area bank to resume limited Saturday service using their Kennedy Road facility.
In 1993 the acquisition of First National by Northwest Bancorporation of Minneapolis was rejected by the Federal Reserve Board. (8) In 1993 First Dubuque Corp., the holding company of First National, announced a merger under which First National and its subsidiaries would become part of Hawkeye Bancorporation. (9) First National Bank became the largest bank in the Hawkeye company and the first bank in Dubuque that was part of a state or regional banking company. (10) A few years later, the bank merged into the Mercantile Bank corporation. In 1999, Mercantile Bank was acquired by FIRSTAR. After Firstar merged with U.S. Bancorp, the combined banks became known as U.S. BANK, the name carried in 2008.
The 1985 through 1989 Dubuque City Directory listed 7th at Town Clock Plaza, Kennedy and Wacker, Jackson and White at 22nd and Asbury at Hales Mill Road.

This would be what you need to use to keep frogs off and away from your car. So to keep the car frog free, you'll want to keep the areas around your car treated with our frog repellent. Do this by applying the granules in an area that goes approximately 10 feet from all four sides of the car.

Q: How can I set up GPT and EFI for my new raw drive? My laptop Thinkpad T400 now runs 12.04 on a small hard drive.
I plan to replace the hard drive with a bigger one, and install 14.04 on the new drive.
The new drive is just bought as brand new, and raw
I want to avoid the limitations of MBR, and want to use GPT for the disk.
I also want to use EFI partition, because I heard that it is the default on modern computers :

you must have a BIOS-Boot or an EFI partition depending on the boot mode of your BIOS. you will need either an EFI partition (if your BIOS is set up in EFI mode, which is default on more and more modern, > year 2011 computers) or a BIOS-Boot partition (if your BIOS is set up in Legacy mode).

So I wonder how I install 14.04 on the raw hard drive?

*

*My laptop is T400, bought in 2009, and can I make my drive and
partitions GPT and EFI?

*Does the following steps work?

*

*download 64-bit 14.04 to my flash drive

*replace the hard drive of my laptop with the new and raw one

*insert my flash drive into my laptop's usb port

*power on my laptop

*press F2 to enter the BIOS of my laptop? and set up booting from my flash drive?

*(presumably, the 64 bit 14.04 installation program will run?)

where in the steps can I set up GPT and EFI for my new raw drive?
My questions and confusions come from not understanding oldfred's comment on my previous post:

I have always partitioned in advance with gparted. Set to gpt before
  anything else in device, advanced options. How you boot installer is
  how it installs, UEFI or BIOS. And only with Something Else, do you
  get the options for more than the default / & swap.

Thanks!

A: There are two separate (but related) technological dichotomies that you seem to be conflating, at least a bit:

*

*BIOS vs. EFI/UEFI -- This is the type of firmware in the computer; it's software that's built in to chip(s) on the motherboard. Since the 1980s, PCs have used Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) firmware, but the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) was developed in the 1990s, lurked for over a decade as an obscure option on Itanium systems, was adopted by Apple for its Intel-based Macs, and has most recently been used as a BIOS replacement on the vast majority of PCs sold since mid-2011 or thereabouts. (EFI 2.x is known as the Unified EFI, or UEFI.) Although some PCs used EFI prior to 2011, chances are your 2009 laptop is not one of them, so you really can't use EFI on it. (You might be able to get a "software EFI" such as DUET or Clover to work on your system, but this is more trouble than it's worth for most people.)

*MBR vs. GPT -- PCs have historically used the Master Boot Record (MBR) partitioning system. This is just a set of standards for how to arrange data on the disk so that the OS can find the partitions. EFI includes a new partitioning system known as the GUID Partition Table (GPT), which eliminates many MBR kludges and limitations. Although GPT is defined as part of the EFI specification, it may be used even on older BIOS-based computers. GPTs biggest advantages are with disks over 2TiB in size, which MBR can't handle. On smaller disks, GPT has several minor advantages, but nothing compelling enough to make switching to it a necessity for most users. Note that some OSes, including Windows, cannot boot from GPT disks except in EFI mode -- and of course most older OSes, such as DOS and most versions of Windows prior to Vista SP1, can't boot in EFI mode or use GPT even for data disks.

The term "EFI partition" is somewhat ambiguous because that is not, AFAIK, an official moniker. In the paragraph you quoted, it seems to be referring to an EFI System Partition (ESP), which is a partition on which EFI boot loaders and similar EFI tools are stored. An ESP is 100% useless on a BIOS-based computer, so if your laptop is BIOS-based, as I suspect, there's no point in creating an ESP even if you use GPT. BIOS-based computers that have GPT disks and boot with GRUB instead use a BIOS Boot Partition, which is a small (typically 1MiB) partition that holds part of GRUB. The BIOS Boot Partition is identified in different ways depending on the partitioning tool you use. In parted, GParted, and other libparted-based tools, it has a bios_grub flag set. In gdisk and its siblings, it's identified by a type code of EF02.
If you pre-partition your disk and want to use GPT, create a BIOS Boot Partition and whatever other partitions you'd normally use. If you anticipate eventually moving the disk to a newer EFI-based computer, you might create an ESP, too, but that's almost certainly just a (small) waste of disk space at this time. (ESPs are typically 100-600MiB in size.)

A: If your system comes pre-installed with UEFI firmware (which is a BIOS replacement) and you want the novelty and the experience, then keep it!
If your system doesn't come with UEFI: don't bother as UEFI was supposed to give us more freedom, but most vendors use it to lock you in and take your freedom away!
GPT is an entirely different question: Go for it!  Finally more then 4 primary partitions per disk!  The only disadvantage is that you'll have to give up on old trusty fdisk and use parted instead.
parted /dev/XdY

(where X and Y are very probably "s" and "a").  Then:
mklabel gpt

and hit Y
From the GUI, start gparted, menu device, partition table , GPT. :-)

A: I have a different solution:

*

*Boot the latest Ubuntu Live CD (at this stage don't install it fully - just try it.

*Start GParted

*Using Gparted, erase / delete / wipe the whole disk by following the instructions given over here.
Don't be put off by the "usb-stick" moniker: the instructions work for the hard disk too.  I used this answer.  Remember to click the green arrow to execute the process (i.e. to execute the processes you have selected).

*When you have erased the disk, create a single partition with file format ext4.  Don't do anything more than that - just create the partition and the file system - the boot sequence and flag will be loaded / selected automatically in the next step.

*Now, select the option to fully install Ubuntu - it will write to the partition and put the grub and boot-loader in the right places.  You will be prompted to restart. Do so...

*Then you will be asked to remove the CD (or USB stick if that is what you used) and press "Enter" - do so.

*Ubuntu will now reboot and reload
Now you'll have Ubuntu running beautifully without any Microsoft around - Heaven!
