Though all different Foxys have different past, he was said to be Toast's son to his second wife. He was killed by SpongeBob though it is presumed that he came back from the dead like many other characters have. Also in gmod, foxy raised his son, Baby foxy in his mansion which he'd bought from stealing from Mike. ( The security guard) He continued making money from all his green grass which gives him money because it's green like American money.
One time foxy teamed up with Baldi and Bendy to take out Thanos. They lured him into a Baldis school trip and hid all of his infinity stones around the forest. While he searched the all tried to bash him to death with their crowbars. Thanos collected all the stones but soul. He was down low on health but managed to find it and retaliatate killing them all .
He also appeared in Left 4 Dead 2 as a playermodel. Before he was teamed up with the original four to fight the zombies, he had his own adventure this time played by Bethany Frye. He was with his pirate crew, Freddy Fazbear,Nick and Annoying minion. They were fixated on clearing the world of all forms of violenc. Including doing things like walking on the floor because it might hurt the floor. Foxy was sick of listening to his minion constantly warning about violence so he shot him in the head while he wasn't looking.
Issac, who was playing him at the time accidentally threw a pipe bomb killing the entire group. Next round Jordon (Freddy) gunned him down on sight for failing. After many tries and fails the gang realises that they don't work well in teams like they used to, so they killed eachother. Foxy along with Freddy and Chica died in battle by Bonnie.

First Female NFL Coach Got Her Start with the MV Majors
Mount Vernon native Callie Brownson is now a Cleveland Browns Coach
On the field at Mount Vernon, Callie Brownson was well known.
Mount Vernon High School alum Callie Brownson has become the first woman position coach in the National Football League, taking over this
year as Chief of Staff for the Cleveland Browns.
"It's a different landscape this year," she said on the Cleveland Browns' "Coaches Corner," a local show in Cleveland. She's new to the position along with Kevin Stefansky, the new head coach, and she says they both work well under pressure so that might explain why the Browns have a winning record so far this season.
"Attitude is everything," she said on the show.
Brownson brought that positive attitude with her from Mount Vernon where she grew up in the 1990s, playing for the Mount Vernon Majors softball team, and then coaching the football team after graduating in 2007.
Nardos King was her principal, and could see the determination Brownson had, even pushing the envelope in the sports world as a teenager.
"She was an active student," King said. "She was always a super fan of football," she added. King is now the FCPS superintendent of Region three.
After Mount Vernon, Brownson went on to play for the DC Divas in the Women's Football Alliance from 2010 to 2017. On that team she was a free safety and running back helping them win two National Championships. She also won two gold medals playing with the United States women's national American football team. S
he returned to Mount Vernon High School after the Divas and was the assistant to head football coach Barry Wells, and coached softball in the spring.
She joined the New York Jets as a scouting intern in 2017 and was hired by Dartmouth as a quality control coach from 2018 to 2019. In 2020, she became the first woman to coach an NFL position group in a regular-season game when she filled in for the Cleveland Browns when one of their receiver's coaches was out.
Over the summer, she was moved up to Chief of Staff, and is enjoying taking part in a winning season this year. The Browns are second place in the AFC North, right behind the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Browns came to Washington this past September and beat the Washington Football Team, which must have been an experience for Brownson, beating her hometown team.

Who's Gonna Make the iPad Cry?
With sales estimated to double to 54.8 million units in 2011, there's no doubt that the invasion of the touchtastic tablets has just begun.
Question is, can anything blast the iPad off its pedestal? We rate the newcomers.
Steve Jobs may have declared 7-inch tablets dead on arrival, but Samsung's Galaxy Tab stands perhaps the best chance of proving the headstrong Apple CEO wrong. Roughly the size of an Amazon Kindle, the Galaxy comes equipped with Android version 2.2 (Froyo), as well as front and rear cameras, and a crystal clear capacitive 1024x600 LCD touchscreen.
Why you'll love it: Under the hood, the Galaxy's 1 GHz ARM Cortex processor and 512 MB of RAM allow it to handle multiple applications with ease—the biggest departure from the one-app-at-a-time iPad experience. Users no longer need to wait for websites to load before switching over to a chat window or a game of Angry Birds. The Galaxy also allows Web users to access Flash content on sites that support mobile access, like Hulu.com.
Why you'll hate it: Apps remain a big question. So far, Google's Apps Marketplace has been slow to release tablet-friendly versions of software that could effectively capitalize on the Galaxy's power and viewing space.
The Verdict: There are enough positives—namely, the tablet's portability and multitasking ability—to make it a legit threat to the iPad, especially as software and app variety improves.
HP is shooting this tablet squarely at the professional market. With that customer base in mind, the Slate 500 isn't such a bad choice. The 8.9-inch capacitive touchscreen tablet runs on an Intel Atom 1.86 GHz processor and Windows 7 Professional. You'll also get two cameras—a 3MP rear and a VGA front.
Why you'll love it: Business travelers will be most interested in the USB 2.0 port and an HDMI-out port for displaying presentations on larger screens. And, of course, there's the freedom to use any web browser you want, play Flash videos, and work on documents in Microsoft Office using either the on-screen keyboard (which seems a little cramped) or the attached stylus.
Why you'll hate it: Questions remain as to how easily Windows 7 will translate to an 8.9-inch touchscreen, and users may wind up using the stylus more often than they'd like.
Touted as the world's first "professional tablet," Blackberry's Playbook is geared toward business users. Similar to its competitors, it has a 7-inch 1024x600 capacitive multitouch LCD screen and a 1 GHz dual-core processor, as well as 1 GB of RAM—four times that of the Apple iPad and double the Samsung Galaxy's capacity.
Why you'll love it: A 3-megapixel front and 5 MP rear camera support 1080p HD video recording—a significant upgrade over Samsung's tablet, which carries only a 1.3 MP camera in the front, and the iPad, which doesn't have one. Users wishing for an alternative to Android and Apple's iOS will find it in RIM's newly developed Blackberry Tablet OS, which allows for multitasking and supports both Flash 10.1 and Adobe. One of the tablet's most trumpeted functions enables Bluetooth users to link the Playbook with a BlackBerry handset and view email, calendars, documents, and other data on the Playbook's larger surface without transferring files between the two devices.
Why you'll hate it: Playbook is the only one among the new wave of tablets that currently lacks 3G support—though its tethering capability helps compensate for that—and RIM's new app store will likely have lots of catching up to do with more established leaders like Apple and Android.
The Verdict: Could be a tempting option for business travelers, but current lack of 3G and middling app support gives the Galaxy and iPad the edge.
While most manufacturers were torn between releasing a 7-inch or a 10-inch tablet, Viewsonic hedged its bet by releasing tablets in both sizes. The Viewpad 7 is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 1 GHz chip and runs on Android 2.2 (Froyo), while the 10-inch G-Tablet uses Nvidia's 1Ghz Tegra chip. But most intriguing of all is the Viewpad 10, one of the few options that trumps the iPad's 9.7-inch screen by a third of an inch.
Why you'll love it: Unlike the others, Viewsonic's 10-incher includes a 1024x600 display backed up by Intel's 1.66 GHz Atom processor and 1 GB of RAM. Why the processor swap? Because the Viewpad 10 can boot up in two distinct modes using either Windows 7 or Android. Viewsonic hopes that versatility will make the Viewpad 10 a boon to businesses looking for a seamless way to navigate both operating systems.
Why you'll hate it: Unfortunately, the manufacturer went with the aging Android 1.6 OS in lieu of the current 2.2. And with only a 1.6 MP front-facing camera and few Android apps designed for the wider screen, Viewsonic's most alluring option could also be one of its most problematic.
The Verdict: Despite its drawbacks, the Viewpad 10 has appeal if Windows 7 is a priority, but $629 is a steep price to pay for a jack-of-all-trades that's a master of none.
It almost doesn't seem fair to lump the diminutive Streak and its five-inch screen with a relative leviathan like the iPad, especially with Dell rumored to be releasing its own 10-inch tablet in the months ahead. But we will anyway.
Why you'll love it: The Streak occupies a unique middle ground between a phone and a tablet. Despite its bulk, it can actually fit in an average front pocket with room to spare. With a 1 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and 512 MB of RAM, the Streak packs a decent amount of power into a small package and could find a niche—if only we knew what, exactly, it was.
Why you'll hate it: It seems unwieldy for everyday use as a phone, and it lacks the viewability to allow for a comfortable video watching experience. Android users will also be disappointed to see the device running on build 1.6 (Donut) of Google's OS, two versions behind the current build (Froyo). The 800x480 WVGA resolution lines up nicely with phones like the Sprint HTC Evo 4G, but falls short of the iPad (1024x768) and even the iPhone 4 (960x640).
The Verdict: A curious entry into the race, but not one likely to pose a legitimate threat.
If Viewsonic seemed bold for releasing three new tablets, Archos looks even more daring with its grand total of five new tablets unleashed on the market in late 2010. The two most notable offerings are the Archos 70 (7-inch) and the Archos 101 (10.1-inch) tablets. Both use 1 GHz ARM Cortex A8 processors and capacitive touchscreens. Users may detect strong similarities in style between the Archos 70 and its precursor, the Archos 7 Home Tablet, but the 70 gets a serious facelift with an Android 2.2 operating system and an accelerometer that allows users to toggle between landscape and portrait modes.
Why you'll love it: For $275, Archos 70 users get a VGA camera on the front and USB/mini-HDMI ports along the side. Sixteen gigs of hard disk space comes standard, but users can upgrade to 250 GB. The Archos 101 ($300) includes a sharper 1024x600 resolution camera, but disk space is limited to just 8 GB and 16 GB. Kickstands in the back of both units are a thoughtful touch. Throw in Flash 10 support and the Archos lineup could be alluring to holiday shoppers looking for an affordable and surprisingly robust web-enabled alternative.
Why you'll hate it: The Archos 70 displays only an 800x480 WVGA resolution, which is lower than most of its competitors. There's no SIM card input, either, so you'll be limited to WiFi for internet access, and no 3G.
The Verdict: For the price, buyers get a sweet return. Could be a smart investment for budget-conscious shoppers over the holidays.


The Police and Peace Officers' Memorial Ribbon Society was quite active in 2018. Read on for a summary of our activities the past year.
Correctional Officer Lesa Zoerb of the Correctional Service of Canada, Saskatchewan, who was killed in a motor vehicle incident.
Four is too many, but we all know that we risk losing officers every year due to the dangerous nature of protecting the peace and freedoms all Canadians enjoy. The Memorial Ribbon Society was there for each memorial event to assist in the healing by showing the families and peers of our fallen that they will not be forgotten.
In the summer we had our first fundraiser, the Country Strong Gala , where country artists Rod Black and Hillbilly Vegas performed for attendees. Through the generous support of individuals and corporations, the event raised significant funds which will be directed to our six core objectives including providing post-secondary education scholarships to the children of fallen officers.
Memorial Ribbon Society volunteers attended many events across Canada this past year, including the National Memorial in Ottawa, some Provincial Memorials and funerals for the fallen. The Society's attendance at these events raise awareness about the officers we have lost in the line of duty and honour their sacrifice through the use of the Ribbon. With the help of some tech savvy volunteers, we are continuing to expand the use of our new website as well as social media (Facebook and Twitter). We hope to post more news and information stories in 2019.
Due to the number of agencies, departments and members of the public requesting Ribbons over the past year, we can honestly say that the Memorial Ribbon is now recognized by just about everyone across the country. We have also had many agencies and societies request the use of the Ribbon on their Honour web pages, Memorials, and similar items.
Although the Memorial Ribbon is well-recognized, there is still a lot of work to do to make it the official national symbol of mourning for peace officers protecting communities across Canada who are killed in the line of duty. Hopefully no other peace officer dies in the Line of Duty and we only have to pull out the Ribbons at the Annual National and Provincial Memorial Services.
We continue to make sales of Ribbon-related merchandise through our improved on-line store, and accept donations by credit card through our website or by cheque.
Thank you for your support of the Memorial Ribbon Society in 2018. Over the last 20 years, we have donated over $237,000 to memorials, monuments, and scholarships that honour those lost in service of protecting their communities. Your continued generosity shows the families of peace officers killed in the line of duty, and all Canadians, that our fallen will not be forgotten.
Please, stay safe and watch out for each other.

Part of A Bigger Splash
Sunday, July 21, 4:00 p.m.
Museum of the Moving Image - Bartos Screening
Add to my calendar Buy Tickets
Dir. Jack Hazan. 1973. 106 mins. Digital projection. With David Hockney, Peter Schlesinger, Celia Birtwell. Back in theaters after nearly half a century, A Bigger Splash is an intimate and innovative film about English-born, often California-based artist David Hockney and his work. Honoring his subject by making his own creative risks, Hazan spent three years filming this improvisatory narrative-nonfiction hybrid featuring Hockney, a wary participant, as well as his circle of friends, capturing the agonized end of the lingering affair between Hockney and his muse, an American named Peter Schlesinger. The result is at once a time capsule of hedonistic gay life in the 1970s, an honest-yet-tender depiction of gay male romance, an invaluable view of art history in action, and a record of artistic creation that is itself a work of art. A Metrograph Pictures release.
"One of the most acute films made about a twentieth-century artist."—Ed Halter, 4 Columns

Madness in the margins
I have a copy of Sir Almroth E Wright's 1913 The Unexpurgated Case Against Woman Suffrage in which an early or the original reader has pencilled copious notes. I don't know the reader's name, as I can't read his (from the comments it certainly is "his") signature. I am fascinated by the reader's jottings for the light they shed on attitudes and beliefs of the time, and also for the more intriguing personal hints they give of a man whose relationships with women were, to say the least, troubled. What's also interesting is that there are two sets of notes, the first dated 1913, and the second 1922, when a partial female franchise had been granted. The subject mattered so much to the reader that he revisited it four years after the first female franchise!
Here are some excerpts from the dialogue between these two anti-suffragists:-
Sir A: The grateful woman will practically always be an anti-suffragist.
Reader (R): (grateful woman underlined). Are there any? Certainly not amongst those who are loved and treated well – there might be if an opposite course were taken. This I do not know.
Sir A: But one wonders why it has not been proposed…to make of a woman…a judge, or an ambassador, or a Prime Minister.
R: This would I think be the eventual result [of giving women the vote] but before it was found out and put right what sort of plight would the British Empire have come to?!! (With a note dated 1922 "They can now be in the House of Commons, House of Lords, be magistrates, mayors, members of the bar.")
Sir A: Woman's mind…has a very imperfect sense of proportion; accepts the congenial as true, and rejects the uncongenial as false…
R: Some do not know what truth means except in so far as they recognise it to avoid it, and would much prefer by crooked and underhand scheming to obtain what they could much more easily obtain in a straightforward manner.
Sir A: It would be difficult to find anyone who would trust a woman to be just to the rights of others in the case where…her children, or…a devoted husband, were involved.
R: The husband might be devoted but that would not make her just to him! Quite the reverse.
Sir A: And one would wish that, in a world which is rendered unwholesome by feminism, every girl's eyes were opened to comprehend…the fact that…you find individual man showering upon individual woman…every good thing which, suffrage or no suffrage, she could never have procured for herself.
R: And if the man after suffering a lifetime of ingratitude, humiliations, and indignities finally gives up the contest and becomes indifferent, who so astonished as the fair lady! They mistake kindness for weakness and abuse it; and cannot believe even when warned that there is a limit to the burdens when piled high enough and long enough to what the greatest devotion can stand and at long last indifference may supervene. Then they may pretend to want it back again, only to again discard it so often as he is foolish enough to be taken in.
Sir A: …when the woman who remains in England comes to recognise that she can…give a willing subordination to the husband or father, who, when all is said and done, earns and lays up money for her.
R: Yes, but one can hardly hope for such a miracle.
Sir Almroth Wright (1861–1947) was a medical scientist and anti-suffragist who, like many in the medical profession, argued that women were incapable of voting because they were emotionally unstable and mentally weak. Suffragette militancy was the product of hysteria or the morbid moods of women of a certain age, and the suffragettes should be treated as lunatics. Sir Almroth characterised the suffragettes as "ungrateful women" - disappointed wives, spinsters in a state of retarded development, the sexually embittered, and those who want to have everything for nothing. He argued that since it was men who made money, owned property and paid the bulk of taxes, women were simply trying to snatch their property from them by demanding the vote and access to the professions and universities. He also pointed to a covenant between men and women: "I will do you reverence, and protect you," promises man, "…and you…will hold fast to an ideal of gentleness, of personal refinement, of modesty, of joyous maternity…' ".
The Representation of the People Act 1918 gave all men over twenty-one the vote, but enfranchised only women over thirty who met a minimum property qualification, and women graduates over thirty. Full equality came with the Equal Franchise Act 1928 which gave women over twenty-one the vote.

The SA Government announced it will establish 12 border crossings where travellers will need to sign and declare they are fit for travel and must undertake self-isolation for two weeks.
The border controls will apply to all road, air, rail and sea access points and police will patrol the 12 border crossings.
These new measures will go into effect at 4.00pm on Tuesday.
In a press conference this afternoon Premier Steven Marshall said they had received advice from the chief public health officer in South Australia to close the borders.
"What we have seen in recent days is an increasing number of people who have contracted the virus from people visiting from interstate, or South Australians who have been interstate returning to South Australia," he said.
SA Health is expected to hold a press conferenced this afternoon to announce new COVID-19 cases in South Australia.
There is no word from the Premier as to whether schools in South Australia will remain open over the coming days.

Trailer of 'Kaun Banegi Shikharwati' out, premieres on January 7, 2022
Still from the trailer of 'Kaun Banegi Shikharwati' (Image source: Instagram)
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 23 (ANI): The makers of the upcoming family comedy series 'Kaun Banegi Shikharwati' have unveiled a fun-filled trailer on Thursday.
The series, full of drama and laughter, stars Naseeruddin Shah, Lara Dutta, Soha Ali Khan, Anya Singh, Kritika Kamra, Cyrus Sahukar, Raghubir Yadav and Varun Thakur in pivotal roles.
'Kaun Banegi Shikharwati' is a dramedy based on the life of the Royal King (Naseeruddin Shah) and his dysfunctional family. The almost three-minute-long trailer gives a glimpse of all the madness one can expect in the series.
The trailer takes one through the exhilarating journey of Raja Mrityunjay and his daughters Devyani, Gayatri, Kamini and Uma who all come together after years to save the Shikarwati (royal palace).
The series comprises madness, the crazy riot and the royal contest the four princesses go through to be the ultimate winner. This contest indeed turns the dynamics of this dysfunctional family where they bond, stay together and fight together. It will be interesting to see if they will be able to save the mahal.
Talking about her experience, Lara Dutta shared, "It was such a refreshing experience shooting for this series with such great co-stars who together are a mad bunch to handle. Family dramas might be common, but this dysfunctional family is unlike any you have seen before, and we can't wait for everyone to join this crazy family on their crazy adventures."
Soha Ali Khan talked about the exciting script that caught her attention.
"I have been looking forward to doing something out of the box and 'Kaun Banegi Shikharwati' turned out to be exactly what I wanted. The script was the first thing that caught my attention and of course, the talented star cast," she said.
Anya Singh shared the importance of family and how the show incorporates this value.
"It was an enriching experience for me shooting with such talented actors. Lockdown has made us realize the importance of family and this show embodies the same sentiments that no matter how angry and upset you might be with a loved one, life is too short to hold onto grudges," she expressed.
Kritika Kamra cherished the bonds she has formed with her co-actors while working together.
"With 'Kaun Banegi Shikharwati', I got three sisters for life, and I couldn't have asked for more. The shoot was a laughter riot, and I hope the chemistry between us sisters translates well onto the screen as well."
The series is produced by Applause Entertainment in association with Emmay Entertainment and directed by Gauravv Chawla and Ananya Banerjee.
Get ready to enter the crazy world of 'Kaun Banegi Shikharwati', premiering on January 7, 2022, on ZEE5. (ANI)

UAE Airline Steward Threw in Prison Over a 100K Crypto Loan Default
The number of cases for non-performing assets of banks especially loan defaults is viewed as bordering on crime. The banks from both private and government sectors to lend such massive loans to high-risk individuals or organizations are considered as a degenerate practice or criminal misconduct. This story is about a steward from the airline industry.
Cryptocurrency Loan
A former flight attendant from Etihad Airlines convicted up to three years jail time in UAE as he has defaulted his loan payments which he has taken in December 2017 when the bitcoin hit an all-time high of $ 20,000. He has been granted a loan of $100,000 with an approximate monthly installment of $2,230. As Crypthomie reveals the pandemic situation lead him to lose his job making him unable to continue paying his loan.
Investing after the all-time high
The post on Crypthomie's showing his sad story vent semi-viral on the crypto community. He has invested his loan on bitcoins and other altcoins which later lost in value making a loss of nearly 85% in total investment value.
"It was my first speculative investment. I think it's an age where we're still unconscious and take a lot of risks if we don't have big responsibilities like a kid or bills to pay."
UAE Laws and Jail time
Unlike the western world, UAE considers and treat debt-related matters as criminal cases rather than a civil one. A bad debt may lead a sentence up to three years in jail and even more, if the debt repayment goes further unpaid.
Is fleeing an option?
When the post went viral most Reddit users suggested he flee UAE.
"Get out of that country and start a new life with new names and identities dude," said user _Neev.
"Last time I checked, Abu Dhabi had ocean access. I'd be learning to sail real quick in your shoes," said maxcoiner.
Anyway, the attendant replied to the commenters "We have a travel ban on us as the bank opened a case. We are stuck until we can pay but will be jailed within a few weeks if we don't send anything."

Q: os.system in a loop For each item in a list, I am modifying a file and then I want to run the python script, "ncall.py", which imports the modified file called, "new_basketparams.txt".  I also want to make sure ncall.py completes its process before recalling it, but that is perhaps another topic.  I am working on an ubuntu linux machine with python 2.7.
Here's the issue:  My code seems to call ncall.py infinite times, stuck inside of the loop.  I cannot even use a keyboard shortcut to kill the process and must close the window to kill the process.  Here is my code and if anyone can help explain a solution, or guide me, that would be greatly appreciated:
import os
import re
datelist=['2014-05-16','2014-05-15','2014-05-14','2014-05-13','2014-05-12']
for date in datelist:
    f=open('basketparams.txt')
    g=open('new_basketparams.txt','w')
    for line in f:
        if "Start" in line:
            line=line.split(";")
            line[2]=re.sub('\d\d\d\d-\d\d-\d\d',date,line[2])
            line=';'.join(line)
        elif "End" in line:
            line=line.split(";")
            line[2]=re.sub('\d\d\d\d-\d\d-\d\d',date,line[2])
            line=';'.join(line)
        else:
            pass
        g.write(line)
    os.system("python ncall.py")

Here are some diagnostics. The import MySQL error is strange because ncall works when called by itself from the terminal

'import site' failed; use -v for traceback

I had half a linen closet full of top sheets – the bottom sheets long gone. So what is a girl to do? Crochet a Rag Rug!
The hook is from Darn Good Yarn is important to this project. It's gorgeous, but it is also practical. It has a long handle to make it easier to keep a grip. Plus it is solid, you don't have to worry about it breaking.
This pattern is nothing more than a simple hexagon crochet pattern. If you're an old hat you're probably laughing at yourself for not realized it. If you're a newbie, just follow along.
Create a magic ring (or however you like to start 6 sc in a loop).
Row 1: 6 sc in ring. slst to first sc.
Row 2: Ch 1. 2 sc in each sc around. Join with sl st to first sc.
Row 3: Ch 1. *2 sc in next sc, 1 sc in next sc. Repeat from * to *. slst to first sc.
Row 4: Ch 1. *2 sc in next sc, 1 sc in each of next 2 sc. Repeat from * to * slst to first sc.
Row 5: Ch 1. *2 sc in next sc, 1 sc in each of next 3 sc. Repeat from * to * slst to first sc.
Row 6: Ch 1. *2 sc in next sc, 1 sc in each of next 4 sc. Repeat from * to * slst to first sc.
Row 7: Ch 1. *2 sc in next sc, 1 sc in each of next 5 sc. Repeat from * to * slst to first sc.
Row 8: Ch 1. *2 sc in next sc, 1 sc in each of next 6 sc. Repeat from * to * slst to first sc.
Once you reach the size you want, fasten off and weave the end.
I assume you're getting the idea. If in row 8 you do 6 sc, then in row 9 you'll do 7 sc. And so on and so forth until you reach the size you want.

Q: Finding an upper bound of $ T(n) = \sqrt{n} T \left(\sqrt n \right) + n$ $$T(n) = \sqrt{n} T \left(\sqrt n \right) + n, n>1$$
$$T(n) = k, n\le1$$
My book says for upper bound to simplify to
$$T(n) \le \sqrt{n}c\sqrt n\log\left(\sqrt n\right) + n$$
$$ = nc\log\left(\sqrt n\right) + n$$
$$ = \frac{1}{2}nc\log\left( n\right) + n$$
$$ \le cn\log\left(n\right)$$
A few questions here: how does $T(\sqrt n)$ simplify to $c\sqrt n\log\left(\sqrt n\right)$?
Or maybe I'm just asking: How do we know for sure that $T(\sqrt n)\le c\sqrt n\log\left(\sqrt n\right)$?
Also, how does $\frac{1}{2}nc\log\left( n\right) + n$ simplify to $ cn\log\left(n\right)$?
By the way, the book says that it assumes that $1\le\frac{1}{2}c\log{(n)}$.

A: We can use the change of variable $a_n=T(2^n)$ to get the recursion
$$
a_n=2^{n\over2}a_{n\over2}+2^n=2^{{n\over2}+{n\over2^2}}a_{n\over2^2}+2\times2^{n}=2^{{n\over2}+{n\over2^2}+{n\over2^3}}a_{n\over2^3}+3\times2^n
=\cdots=2^{n(1-{1\over2^m})}a_{n\over2^m}+m2^n\\
\implies a_{2^m}=2^{2^m-1}a_1+m2^{2^m}\implies a_m=a_{2^{\log_2m}}=2^{m-1}a_1+2^m\log_2m\\
\implies T(m)=a_{\log_2m}={ma_1\over2}+m\log_2\log_2m
$$
So a solution to the given recurrence is ($\alpha$ is a constant which equals $T(2)/2$)
$$
T(n)=\alpha n+n\log_2\log_2n
$$
which falls apart at $n\le1$ as pointed out in the comments. Suppose $n\ge2$. Then
 $\alpha n\le \alpha n\log_2 n$ and $n\log_2\log_2n\le n\log_2n$. Letting $c=1+\alpha$ we have
$$
T(n)\le cn\log_2n
$$

Q: VB.NET: DataGridView ColumnHeader Text Indent Value Is it possible to get the DataGridViewColumn Header Text-margin (text-indent) value in VB.NET? I need this to calculate the correct text width with the TextRenderer. Because column width is always larger than the allowed space for column header text. I just want to know its' exact value.
Thanks!
P.S. Column width - TextRenderer([text], [font]).Width is not wat I ask.
I explain why: before setting a text value as column header text, I check if my text is not larger than the allowed text space (which I don't have) of header cell. If it is larger, my text is edited to make it shorter and points are added at the end. My text, together with those points has then the correct width to be set to the column.

A: Found:
[MyDataGridViewColumn].HeaderCell.ContentBounds.Left

Tim Berners-Lee looks ordinary – he is about 45 years old and has brown hair. His life is quite normal – he was born in England, but his home is now in Massachusetts, USA. But, in 1989, Tim had a very important idea. He invented the World Wide Web.
Tim went to school in London. His parents both worked with computers, so it isn't surprising that he loved computers from an early age. When he was eighteen, he left school and went to Oxford University, where he studied Physics. At Oxford he became more and more interested in computers, and he made his first computer from an old television. He graduated in 1976 and got a job with a computer company in Dorset, England. In 1989, he went to work in Switzerland, where he first had the idea of an international information network linked by computer … and he decided to call it the World Wide Web.
In 1994, he went to live in the United States, where he now works. In 1995, he wrote an article in the New York Times where he said 'The Web is a universe of information: it i for everyone.' His idea of a web, where people from all over the world can exchange information, is now real.

The majority of Inuit people from Alaska are nomads, moving from one place to another, hunting and fishing to survive. They don't tend to live in houses, preferring tents or houses built from ice, called 'igloos'. It is quite common for a man to have several wives.
In some parts of Kentucky and Virginia, USA, it is quite normal for girls of twelve or thirteen to get married and start a family.

Read the text. Four of the statements below (A-J) are really true (are not just beliefs or opinions). Which are the four true statements?
Rather than investing in expensive scientific equipment to predict earthquakes, perhaps scientists should spend more time watching their pets. Many researchers now believe that the behaviour of certain animals might help them to predict natural disasters. For example, Chinese scientists in the 1970s thought that reports of farm animals running around in circles, and of dogs barking all night may indicate an impending natural disaster. They decided to evacuate the city of Haichin, which shortly afterwards was hit by a huge earthquake. Thousands of lives were probably saved as a result. Japanese scientists have also discovered that catfish become livelier several days before moderately strong earthquakes. Many scientists now accept that this can't be pure coincidence; they believe the explanation may be linked to slight changes in the Earth's magnetic field.
Although human beings can't perceive such changes, it is thought that the sensitive nervous systems of some animals must be affected by them. Now scientists must discover exactly which animals are affected in this way, so that they can save many more lives in the future.
А) Scientists spend money on expensive scientific equipment to predict earthquakes.
B) Animals can predict natural disasters.
C) In the 1970s, Chinese scientists heard reports of animals behaving strangely near Haichin.
D) The scientists knew this was a sign that an earthquake was coming.
E) The city of Haichin was evacuated before the earthquake.
F) Japanese scientists noticed an increase in activity of catfish before earthquakes.

The first rule of Text Club is that there is no Text Club.
We all do know that putting the same amount of time and resources into getting some academic support (from age six no less) as she is growing up would likely enable OP's youngster to get into an Ivy League school on her own merits, and with scholarship support to boot...right?
Might even results in her maintaining a love of without seeing it as a high-stakes avenue into a desired school.
Just this old school principal's perspective, anyway.
Mom's already got "academics covered", she said so. All she needs is 12 years of near perfect grades and testing. She's also "intensely" practicing music, she just needs one more extracurricular to round out the Ivy League applications ... top tier Ivy League, that is.
Probably should start a soup kitchen, a youtube channel showing how she rescues puppies from kill shelters and an earthquake early detection system.
Ma'am, my standards for my child are incredibly high ... They just don't involve Ivy League schools, six figure income potentials or how high on the social food chain their "connections" will be.
Why waste your time with your rude comments?
What difference does it make to you whether I push my kids or not?
Ma'am, we are on a discussion board, we discuss things.
And per rudeness, I believe you alluded to my standards for my child being "low".
Life is not a competition, our kids should not have to compete against one another. "Winning" isn't the same for everybody, and we should each get yo decide what our own winning us, our parents shouldn't decide for us. For your daughters sake, you should hear a differing opinion from time to time.
And by "superior view", are you referring to the theory of Free Will?
Do you have anything golf-related to share?
Don't know if you are real or some one looking to stir it up. I will say that you asked some good questions and do appear genuine - but what do i know.
This is an awesome forum for junior golf advice..so you should take advantage of it.
Away from that why specifically golf? or are you posting the same Qs in the Lacrosse, hockey and tennis chats rooms?
This s*** is better than Netflix.
"The Last of the Tiger Parents"
Ok, last post. Please let this thread die and float away into cyberspace.
And this is what's wrong with America today.
Your daughter is 6 ... She plays a musical instrument "intensely" and is "very athletic" and you have academics "covered" and are looking at extra curricular activities to get her into an Igy League school. How bout you let her be a freakin kid and decide what she wants to do wit her life instead of you living the life you wanted through her?
Ok so parents pushing kids to be the best is what's wrong with America today?
I would argue that anonymous people on the internet judging each other and telling them how to live their lives in a tone and manner that they would never use in person is what is wrong with America today.
Everyone wants others to be civil, but feel they have the moral authority not to be civil themselves.
Haha that gif made me laugh. So I will offer some advice. I know you are not looking for parenting advice but I am going to tell you my personal experience based on my own background.
I kept playing and me "quitting" was coming to play college (I am European).. I didn't have the grades Ivy leagues look for since school was not a big deal and just seen as something that took me away from my "job". Anyway, I was still approached by Ivy leagues because of my athletics. This is not a brag here even though it will probably sound like it but I did end up being ranked as high as no1 in the NCAAs, albeit not with an Ivy League but a very big school you will all know. In hind sight I should have gone the Ivy League route or a tier 1 academic but again, the mentality at the time was who cares about education... I really just came to college to get away from my parents and get something to fall back on as I hated tennis by this point.
Now, I am telling you this to say that being elite at a sport can definitely get you preferential treatment, even for admissions for Ivy League. I am not sure how good you have to be but I know I was given that chance. However, my experience was that they also somewhat dictate your degrees and classes. Meaning if you are not a walk on then they very much discourage you from doing classes that require a ton of work.
Happy to answer anything else but I will leave you with this. I was very much forced to do things I didn't want to do and in some ways I am glad my parents did that as I have no clue where I would be without my degrees and moving to the US where I love have a great career, and have a family that I wouldn't change for anything. However, on the other hand I have a lot of resentment and it completely ruined any relationship I could have had with my parents. Looking back I cannot remember many fun times with them at all. Now I have a daughter and do not talk to my parents at all. They have never met my daughter, didn't come to my wedding etc.
This is just my experience and my 2 cents. I want my daughter to play golf and other sports and she will do something as I know commitment and discipline has helped me no end in the professional world. But I almost hope she doesn't get elite at something and I sure as **** won't push her too hard as my biggest fear in life is for my daughter to look back and look at me the same way I do with my own parents.
Great post. Glad to hear things worked out for you in the end. Were your goals at 9-10, 11-12, etc. your own or did they evolve from parent goals?
Wasn't sure Federer was going to pull it off yesterday. Looked like he necked a few easy returns but his first serve placement was darn near perfect.
Yep. **** hard work, Just get your kid, that's never even held an oar, on the "crew" team with a sizable donation to the coach.
Thanks for sharing this mgrowc1. Sorry to hear that about tennis and your parents, but it's awesome you're trying to do it differently with your daughter. My parents (really my Mom) kept trying to push me to do my best growing up - go to the best schools, excel in tennis (put me in those Adidas Standford tennis camps), etc. I ended up getting into some pretty good colleges (Boston College, USC, LMU) and played college tennis a few years, but gave tennis up until a few years ago. I just took it up again because my kid enjoys playing and will play HS tennis.
As they say, "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink." I still enjoy tennis after the long hiatus, but now I wish I started golf when I was younger. Ironically enough, my Mom wanted me to golf when I was young, but I didn't listen to her and thought golf was boring (I started golf after college). Basically, I did it on my own terms and have loved golf since.
We have friends who have golfers that got full rides to D1 top schools. They've told me that the kids that dominated in golf growing up, half of them never had the same success after their body changed and the other half just burned out because it was like work and hated it. I hear that a lot from the others on this forum too. It's definitely a long road with a lot of x-factors and you want to balance in having fun and doing their best.
TigerMom - Good luck to your family and daughters. I'm sure you will do what's best for them. Hopefully you can take away some positives from everyone's own experiences growing up.

SEGA turns to Palo Alto Networks for cybersecurity protection
Sara Barker
When one of the world's largest video game pioneers wanted to strengthen its IT defences against cyber threats, it started with firewalls and real-time threat intelligence from Palo Alto Networks.
SEGA Europe, the distribution arm of SEGA Games Co, chose Palo Alto Networks' Security Operating Platform for its security operations, including cybersecurity prevention and detection for its headquarters and five of its development studios across the globe.
According to Sega, creative intellectual property is at the core of its business, so securing IT infrastructure that supports its development studios was of 'paramount importance'.
With an ageing patchwork of point products that lacked visibility and effectiveness against cyber threats, Sega decided it was time for next-generation security capabilities.
"We will be able to keep adding to the strong foundation we've built to stay ahead of the threats, which grow more sophisticated every day. By continually strengthening our visibility, control, and threat intelligence, we no longer have to worry about what our users are doing. We know our network and business assets are protected," says Sega Europe head of corporate IT and cyber security, Kashif Iqbal.
The company says that Palo Alto Networks has enabled Sega Europe to transform security from a detect-and-remediate approach to one of active prevention, leveraging real-time threat intelligence to thwart cyberthreats of all kinds, including zero-day attacks, before they are able to impact the business.
With the ability to centrally manage security policies across its geographically distributed business, SEGA Europe gained consistent policy enforcement, with the granular control to enable secure yet unimpeded access to applications and resources essential to developers and business staff at the game maker," Sega states.
Sega Europe deployed a range of Palo Alto Networks next-generation firewalls and is taking advantage of next-generation security capabilities such as App-ID technology to create application-specific security policies, and the cloud-based WildFire' malware prevention service to detect and isolate known and unknown threats.
Sega Europe also deployed GlobalProtect to ensure remote users, such as contractors, are consistently protected with the same policies and security measures as on-site employees. To speed threat analysis and response, Sega Europe uses the AutoFocus contextual threat intelligence service, providing root cause analysis and insights into exploit behaviour, which enables Sega Europe to quickly identify the source of the attack and prevent future attacks.
For Sega Europe, having global threat intelligence and preventive capabilities has brought a new level of comfort and peace of mind.

More Robots vs Monsters Action in Pacific Rim Spot
Yes, there's yet another TV spot out for Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim. Warner Bros Pictures isn't skimping on putting out footage from the upcoming sci-fi action film as we draw closer to the movie's premiere in theaters on July 12, 2013, and this latest video concentrates on the action.
When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity's resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes—a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)—who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind's last hope against the mounting apocalypse.

Your yard is your masterpiece, so put the finishing touches on it with decorative stamped concrete. We employ expert stonemasons who can work wonders with concrete. The only limit for your yard is your imagination.
Concrete curbing is great for landscaping. It helps separate the various elements of your yard and keep different features from spilling into each other. Curbing will give your lawn a beautiful, clean look and it will add value to your property.
Keep your lawn looking great year round with our irrigation service.
To help match and enhance your existing landscaping our cubing comes in a variety of styles.
Slant- The slant style has the unique ability to hold gravel and other gardening materials because the back of the curb is higher than the front. The front side of the curb is usually set at ground level to accommodate lawn mower wheels.
Mower- This style is installed to accomnodate both a lawn mower wheel and at the same time retain gravel or other gardening materials. It has great curb appeal by finishing off the landscape design with a picture frame type look.
Square- This curb style is most often set at ground level for lawn mowing; therefore it leaves a styled look without seeing too much concrete edging.
Dome- The dome curb style does not have the sharp or squared angles that the other styles have. The height in the center of the curb still allows this style to retain landscaping materials like rocks and mulches.
