Rodham TV Show Headed to Hulu
By Open Paper
Many have speculated about what Hillary Rodham Clinton's life would've look like if she hadn't fallen for an Arkansas man named Bill. Wonder no longer: A series reimagining the former first lady, senator, and presidential candidate's life without her marriage to Bill is heading to Hulu.
The Hollywood Reporter reports that The Affair's Sarah Treem will adapt Rodham, the best-selling 2019 novel by Curtis Sittenfeld. Both the book and scripted show explore a revisionist history in which Hillary never weds Bill, instead opting to forge her own career path separate from his political ambitions. A description of the series, which is only in development and has not been officially picked up, reads:
A modern parable about choices, feminism and why this country has such a complicated relationship to women in power, Rodham tells the story of an ambitious young woman, developing her extraordinary mind in the latter part of the 20th century, moving from idealism to cynicism and all the way back again.
If ordered, this will be the second series to chronicle Clinton's life on Hulu. Earlier this year, the streaming service debuted the four-part docuseries Hillary. That project, helmed by Nanette Burstein, featured several interviews with Hillary, Bill, their daughter Chelsea, other insiders.
Rodham was published in May, and takes an unconventional route to understand the trajectory of Clinton's life and career. In an interview with ELLE.com ahead of her book's publication, Sittenfeld detailed the inspiration behind her what-if historical retelling. "I was very disappointed and upset after the election," she said. "Something that I thought about in the next few months was, I have kids and I know that for kids—for grade school children—a lot of them were aware of the 2016 election, aware of who Hillary was, but had no idea that Bill Clinton existed or had been president or was Hillary's husband. I just thought, 'Oh my gosh, that would be an interesting premise for a novel.'"

Jeremy B. Wilmer, Laura Germine, Ryan Ly, Joshua K. Hartshorne, Holum Kwok, Hrag Pailian, Mark A. Williams, Justin Halberda; The heritability and specificity of change detection ability. Journal of Vision 2012;12(9):1275. doi: 10.1167/12.9.1275.
Experiencing a good change blindness task leads easily to questions of whether, how, and why individuals may differ in their tendency to detect or miss changes. Yet our understanding of individual differences in both change detection and its allied domain of visual working memory remain limited. To address this gap in our knowledge, we conducted two large, web-based studies of change detection using a flicker paradigm where a display of blue and yellow dots flashes on and off, over and over, until the participant detects and clicks on the one dot that is alternating from blue to yellow and back. In our first study (n=1542 unselected web participants), we found that the simple time to detect change (TDC) is highly consistent within individuals across trials; therefore, an individual's TDC ability can be captured reliably in under five minutes (Cronbach's alpha reliability = 0.77). TDC also correlated more highly with a visual working memory test than a vocabulary test (r's -0.34 and -0.09, respectively; difference p<0.0001), confirming that TDC performance has more to do with visual working memory than with general intelligence or attentiveness. In our second study, the correlation of TDC amongst 205 monozygotic (MZ) twin pairs (r=0.63) was high relative to the upper bound of 0.77 set by TDC's reliability, indicating that TDC is highly familial. Moreover, the correlation of TDC amongst 113 dizygotic (DZ) twin pairs (r=0.37) was much lower than that amongst MZ twin pairs (difference p<0.001), indicating a substantial genetic influence. In sum, flicker change detection is a specific, heritable ability whose ease of measurement makes it an ideal candidate for use in large-scale molecular genetic as well as focused training and intervention studies.

Password Stealing App Found on App Store With Millions of Download
Even after so many efforts by Google like launching bug bounty program and preventing apps from using Android accessibility services, malicious applications somehow manage to get into Play Store and infect people with malicious software.
The same happened once again when security researchers discovered at least 85 applications in Google Play Store that were designed to steal credentials from users of Russian-based social network VK.com and were successfully downloaded millions of times.
The most popular of all masqueraded as a gaming app with more than a million downloads. When this app was initially submitted in March 2017, it was just a gaming app without any malicious code, according to a blog post published Tuesday by Kaspersky Lab.
However, after waiting for more than seven months, the malicious actors behind the app updated it with information-stealing capabilities in October 2017.
Besides this gaming app, the Kaspersky researchers found 84 such apps on Google Play Store—most of them were uploaded to the Play Store in October 2017 and stealing credentials for VK.com users.
Other popular apps that were highly popular among users include seven apps with between 10,000 and 100,000 installations, nine with between 1,000 and 10,000 installations, and rest of all had fewer than 1,000 installations.
However, those who have already installed one of the above apps on their mobile devices should make sure their devices have Google Play Protect enabled.
Play Protect is Google's newly launched security feature that uses machine learning and app usage analysis to remove (uninstall) malicious apps from users Android smartphones to prevent further harm.
Although it is a never-ending concern, the best way to protect yourself is always to be vigilant when downloading apps from Google's official Play Store, and always verify app permissions and reviews before you download one.
Moreover, you are strongly advised to always keep a good antivirus app on your mobile device that can detect and block such malicious apps before they can infect your device, and always keep your device and apps up-to-date.

PACIFIC GROVE, CALIFORNIA—Pikas are champs when it comes to keeping warm in cold weather. But this adaptation comes at a cost, one that may make it impossible for these small mountain-dwellers to cope with climate change. As their habitats heat up, pikas living at low elevations have one major shot at avoiding extinction: migrating to cooler, higher parts of the mountain. But even if they can make the shift, low-altitude pikas might not be able to cope with the low oxygen of higher altitudes, biologists reported here last week at a meeting of the American Society of Naturalists. Pikas, which include about 30 species all living at different altitudes, have likely evolved special adaptations for living where they do. To assess functional differences between high-, low-, and midaltitude dwellers, researchers compared 10 species from elevations ranging from sea level to 5000 meters. They looked at three genes in the cell's powerhouses, the mitochondria. These genes code for proteins that help use oxygen to generate chemical energy for the body. The proteins from high-altitude pikas appear to be very efficient at this conversion, which helps explain how they thrive high up where the air is thin. Low-altitude pikas have a modified version that seems to generate lots of heat but less fuel for the cell. That's great for keeping toasty, but it could make survival that much harder if they have to move to higher altitudes, where efficient oxygen use is critical. And if the pika falters, it could mean trouble for an entire ecosystem: On the Tibetan Plateau, they are the most common small mammal to stay active through winter, providing one of the few foods for snow leopards, weasels, even bears. Moreover, with up to 60 entrances to each one's underground burrows, they turn parts of the landscape into a "sponge" that soaks up monsoon rains and slows runoff, helping to keep rivers full year-round.

Unity Software Inc. ( ведущая бизнес как Unity Technologies ) — американская компания по разработке видеоигр, которая известна разработкой Unity, лицензированного игрового движка. Основана 2 августа 2004 года как Over Edge I/S и стала подразделением Unity Technologies ApS в 2006 году. Компания разместила свою штаб-квартиру в Сан-Франциско и стала «Unity Technologies SF» в 2009 году.

История

Основана в 2004 году Дэвидом Хелгасоном (CEO), Николасом Фрэнсисом (CCO) и Йоахимом Анте (CTO) в Копенгагене (Дания) после их первой игры, GooBall. Игра не добилась успеха. Поэтому они решили создать движок для компьютерных игр, который все могут использовать по доступной цене. Unity Technologies получила финансирование от таких компаний, как Sequoia Capital, WestSummit Capital и iGlobe Partners.

В центре внимания компании — «демократизировать разработку игр» и сделать возможным создание интерактивного контента 2D и 3D как можно более доступным для как можно большего числа людей во всем мире. В 2008 году, в связи с ростом популярности iPhone, Unity стала одним из первых разработчиков движков, которые начали полностью поддерживать платформу IOS. На данный момент Unity поддерживает 24 платформы, включая Windows, Oculus Rift, PlayStation 4, Linux, Android.

В 2010 году IBM начала изучать подключаемые модули браузера Unity 3D, для запуска 3D игр в браузере.

В апреле 2012 года Unity, насчитывала 1 миллион зарегистрированных разработчиков, 300 000 из них использовали Unity на регулярной ежемесячной основе. В апреле 2015 года количество зарегистрированных разработчиков достигло 4,5 млн человек, 1 млн активных пользователей в месяц. 47 % всех разработчиков мобильных игр используют Unity.

10 ноября 2010 года Unity Asset Store был запущен в качестве онлайн-рынка для пользователей Unity, для свободной продажи ресурсов проекта (графика, скрипты, аудио и т. д.). К апрелю 2014 года у магазина было 600 000 зарегистрированных пользователей, которые загружали около 500 000 единиц контента в месяц.

В марте 2014 года, Unity приобрела Applifier, поставщика услуг мобильной связи в Хельсинки.

Ещё два приобретения последовали в 2014 году: Playnomics, платформа анализа данных для разработчиков (в настоящее время Unity Analytics) и Tsugi, которая работает над непрерывным сервисом интеграции, теперь известная как Unity Cloud Build.

В августе 2015 года, Unity приобрела SilkCloud, разработчика электронной коммерции в Шанхае. SilkCloud работает над инфраструктурой для веб-сервисов Unity.

На GDC 16 Unity объявила о выпуске двух новых продуктов: Unity Certification, чтобы помочь разработчикам продемонстрировать свои навыки и знания в Unity; и Unity Collaborate, который позволяет нескольким людям получить доступ к одному и тому же проекту Unity удалённо.

В июле 2022 года Unity согласилась купить ironSource в рамках сделки с акциями на сумму 4,4 миллиарда долларов США.  По завершении сделки акционерам Unity будет принадлежать около 73,5% объединенной компании, а текущим акционерам IronSource останется около 26,5%. После закрытия сделки Unity также получит инвестиции в размере 1 миллиарда долларов от Sequoia Capital и Silver Lake.

В августе 2022 года AppLovin сделала незапрашиваемое предложение купить Unity в обмен на 17,54 миллиарда долларов в рамках сделки с акциями. Предлагаемое слияние приведет к тому, что генеральный директор Unity Джон Риччителло станет генеральным директором объединенной компании. Заявка AppLovin не включает ironSource, которую Unity согласилась купить в июле. Позже в том же месяце правление Unity отклонило это предложение и обязалось завершить приобретение ironSource. Слияние IronSource было завершено в ноябре 2022 года.

I wrote this while Amanda Knox was still in prison in Italy. This is the first time it's been published.
One day I was at a meeting where they had different types of refreshments out. Some cookies, pumpkin bread and a bowl of small oranges. At the end of the meeting the woman who brought the oranges; told the people to take as many oranges as we want because she did not want to take them back home with her. I took two of the small oranges and stuffed them into my coat pocket and left.
On the way home I stopped at a grocery store in town. After I finished my shopping I walked up to the cashier and paid for the items and walked out to my truck. No problem, so what. However, when I was fastening my seatbelt I found the two small oranges still in my pocket. What if I was caught inside the store with fruit in my pocket? They of course would think I was stealing from them, when in fact I was not!
I would be arrested and tried. However under Shari'ah law I believe I would be guilty until proven innocent. Would they show the security tape that would show I never entered the produce area? Maybe, but maybe not, because after all, I am a Christian. If I would be found guilty then under Shari'ah law my hand could be cut off. This is according to a small book: Shari'ah law: Radical Islam's Threat to the U.S. Constitution; page 19; by ACLJ.org.
Here in America under what I believe is Judeo-Christian law I would still be arrested. However my trial would be different.
In other words you are innocent of a serious crime until proven guilty. In this country we extend it to non-serious crimes also. Also the video showing that I never entered the produce would be a nice help. If for some reason I was found guilty I would still get to keep both of my hands. I like that.
There is another law from the Old Testament that I like. Unfortunately we don't seem to have it in this country. Let's say your car was stolen, but they caught the bad guy. However your car is resold, stripped for parts, or totaled in a police car chase, or what ever; you choose. The thief is arrested and found guilty, but there is no car to return to you or is damaged. What then?
Then the Lord said to Moses, 2 "Suppose one of you sins against your associate and is unfaithful to the Lord. Suppose you cheat in a deal involving a security deposit, or you steal or commit fraud, 3 or you find lost property and lie about it, or you lie while swearing to tell the truth, or you commit any other such sin. 4 If you have sinned in any of these ways, you are guilty. You must give back whatever you stole, or the money you took by extortion, or the security deposit, or the lost property you found, 5 or anything obtained by swearing falsely. You must make restitution by paying the full price plus an additional 20 percent to the person you have harmed. On the same day you must present a guilt offering.
Because of what Jesus did for us on the cross; there is no need for a guilt offering. However paying back the full price of the car plus 20% would sound good for the victim. I would even say that if the victim gets 10% and the police gets other 10% sounds good. In this day of economic problems, maybe there would fewer cops laid off.
Getting back to beginning of my thoughts; I am very thankful that I live in this country with the laws we have. If worst comes to worst, I still get to keep my hands.
There is one thing I would like to say about Muslims. Jesus died for them just like he died for us.

Q: matching two columns in excel with slight difference in the spelling I am working on huge excel sheets from different sources about the same thing. The way the sources report it and write down information is different. So, for example, one would write the location as "Khurais" whereas the other would write it as "Khorais".
Since both of these files are contain important information, I would like to combine them in one excel sheet so that I can deal with them more easily. So if you have any suggestion or tool that you think would be beneficial, please share it here.
P.s. The words in the excel sheet are translations of Arabic words.

A: You could use Levenshtein distance to determine if two words are "close" to each other. Based on that you could match.

A: The Double Metaphone algorithm springs to mind.  It attempts to convert strings into phonetic representations.  For example, "Folly" and "Pholee" should have the same phonetic code.
If you could generate these codes, you could then match your records based on them, instead of the strings.
Here's an article that explains, along with sample VBA code:
https://bytes.com/topic/access/insights/965241-fuzzy-string-matching-double-metaphone-algorithm
Hope that inspires you :)

A: You could use FuzzyLookup, a macro that allows you to do appropriate matching. It worked really well for me in the past and is actually really well documented.

You can find it here: https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/excel-questions/195635-fuzzy-matching-new-version-plus-explanation.html including examples on how to use it.
Hope that helps!
PS obviously you can also use it stricly within VBA (not using worksheet functions)

If you like it hot, use hot Italian sausage. Spinach can substitute for the Swiss chard but heat just until wilted.
Cut sausage into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces. In large saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat; brown sausage. Transfer to bowl. Drain fat from pan.
Add onion, garlic, potatoes, Italian herb seasoning, pepper and hot pepper flakes to pan; fry over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
Add water and stock; bring to boil. Return sausage to pan; reduce heat, cover and simmer until potatoes are almost tender, about 7 minutes.
Add Swiss chard; simmer, covered, until tender, about 5 minutes. Top with Parmesan cheese.


Virginia State police say a driver crossed the center line on Route 1, causing a chain-reaction crash. Two women are now dead.
STAFFORD, Va. (AP) — Troopers in Stafford County are investigating a deadly road crash that killed two Virginia women.
The Virginia State police say a Triangle woman driving a Nissan Xterra was traveling north on Route 1 when her car crossed the center line and struck a southbound Jeep Cherokee operated by a Stafford woman.

Capital One to Pay $80 Million Fine for 2019 Data Security Hack
Capital One agrees to pay $80 million fine to resolve claims related to data breach that affected 100 million accounts in the U.S. -- one of the largest financial data breaches ever.
by Patterson Belknap • Sep 4, 2020
As we previously reported, Capital One Financial Corporation announced in July 2019 a major data security breach when an individual gained unauthorized access to personal information about Capital One credit card customers. According to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC"), which regulates large U.S. banks, Capital One has now agreed to pay an $80 million fine to resolve claims related to the incident.
Affecting more than 100 million accounts in the U.S., the hack of Capital One's computer systems was one of the largest financial data breaches ever. According to the Department of Justice indictment filed against her, the suspected hacker accessed and copied data from more than 30 different entities, including Capital One, that rented or contracted servers at an unnamed cloud-computing company at which she previously worked. Although the 2019 breach did not expose credit card account information, Capital One reported that about 140,000 Social Security numbers and 80,000 linked bank account numbers were compromised. Personal information that Capital One routinely collects at the time it receives credit card applications, including names, addresses, zip and postal codes, phone numbers, email addresses, dates of birth, and self-reported income, was also improperly accessed by the hacker. The criminal proceedings against the alleged hacker remain ongoing.
According to a consent order filed last week by the OCC, Capital One failed to establish effective risk management when it migrated information technology operations to a cloud-based service in 2015. The Bank's internal audit mechanisms also failed to identify "numerous control weaknesses and gaps" in the cloud operating environment. Finally, the Bank's Board of Directors neglected to hold management accountable for internal control gaps and weaknesses. The OCC concluded that these lapses constituted "unsafe or unsound practices that were part of a pattern of misconduct" violating the Federal Reserve's Interagency Guidelines Establishing Information Security Standards, 12 C.F.R. Part 30, Appendix B.
In addition to paying an $80 million civil fine, the Federal Reserve will also subject the Bank's data security practices to heightened scrutiny for the foreseeable future. As part of a cease and desist order filed in tandem with the consent order, the Federal Reserve will require Capital One to undertake a variety of initiatives to strengthen its risk management program and internal controls. For example, within 90 days, Capital One must submit to the Federal Reserve written plans addressing how it will:
Maintain an effective operational risk management program and ensure that operational risk management and internal control issues are appropriately tracked, escalated, and reviewed by senior management and the Board;
Strengthen the Bank's governance and internal controls, including by creating clearly defined operational risk roles and responsibilities and implementing personnel training;
Improve the Bank's risk management program, including by adopting comprehensive risk identification and assessment processes and clear ownership and accountability for the aggregation, escalation, and reporting of operational risk management issues; and
Revise its internal audit program with respect to auditing the Bank's risk management programs, including technology risk management.
In taking the above actions, the regulators positively considered Capital One's notification and remediation efforts following the July 2019 incident. Despite these efforts, however, Capital One will need to devote significant resources to assure regulators that it can adequately safeguard data security on a going-forward basis. The settlement thus serves as a cautionary tale that even with prompt remedial action, entities that experience a data breach may still face enforcement action by regulators and substantial fines.

Awk naw, is it the final of Derry Girls already?
By Rachel McLaughlin • 5 years ago
Thursdays won't be the same when they stop being 'Derry Girls Day'
Our favourite comedy of the year so far is coming to a close as the final Derry Girls episode airs tonight.
The six-part series brought viewers on a whirlwind adventure of life in 1990s Derry, with many scenes and events familiar to Donegal folks too.
The good news is that Derry Girls won't be winding up for good, as writer Lisa McGee has been asked to create another series, because it was just that class.
After the gang's disastrous journey to Donegal last week, they're back causing havoc at Immaculate Conception school.
Erin has been appointed the prestigious role of school magazine editor. She's over the moon at first, but in this preview clip from Channel4.com we see the pressure becoming too much as the deadline looms.
Erin has to enlist her pals to help, and in the panicked moment Michelle shares some cracking weather colloquialisms – it's either Baltic or Boilin'.
They resolve to break one of worst sins of journalism – stealing other peoples' work and passing it off as their own. No doubt this will come back and bite them.
When there's trouble at school, we're sure to see Sr Micheal doling out the punishments, and we'll be looking forward to more dry wit from the Daniel O'Donnell-loving nun.
Meanwhile, Orla develops an obsession with step aerobics, Erin's parents have a major fall out and there's romance for Aunt Sarah.
Tune into Channel4 at 10pm tonight (Thursday) to catch the series finale… *sigh*
Tonight's the night: Father Ted's Ardal O'Hanlon joins Derry Gi...

The Children's Home of Cincinnati has elected a new Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Lawrence A. Glassmann of The Glassmann Law Firm.
"Larry Glassmann brings years of experience and service, as well as a comprehensive understanding of the many ways The Children's Home can continue to grow its service to at-risk children and their families," CEO John Banchy said. "Larry's proven strategic vision and his ability to strengthen the mission and productivity of the organization are perfect attributes for his position as Chairman," Banchy said.
Amidst a varied legal career over the last 30 years, Glassmann has been a litigator at one of the largest law firms in Cincinnati, adjunct professor of Law at the University of Cincinnati College of Law and Salmon P. Chase College of Law, and senior vice president and general counsel of a publicly-traded pharmaceutical company.
Currently, Glassmann has a specialized practice devoted exclusively to resolving disputes, having successfully settled thousands of lawsuits involving hundreds of millions of dollars for clients worldwide. He is a graduate with Honors from The Ohio State University College of Law and a summa cum laude graduate of the University of Cincinnati.
Glassmann is a long-time resident of Indian Hill and has served with distinction in a number of charitable endeavors, including his current role on the board of the Taft Museum. In addition, Glassmann is a member of the Board of Directors of Aprecia Pharmaceuticals Co.
"I am honored to serve as the next Chairman of the Board of The Children's Home. We have the most talented and dedicated staff serving the most vulnerable children in our community. We will continue to work hard to improve the lives of these children and their families, and I am confident that we will find even more innovative ways to expand our services to the community," Glassmann said.

Getting paid as a digital nomad: is there an alternative to PayPal?
Winning a client and completing the project is hard enough – so you really don't want to wrap up with a wrangle about payment methods, currencies and exchange rates.
The default option for getting paid as a digital nomad is PayPal: it's easy and it's ubiquitous, but it's not cheap. Especially, as we'll see later, when multiple currencies are involved.
So is there an alternative? What method should you be using to get paid for your services? I'm not an expert, but I'll run through the options we've tried and the challenges we've faced along the way.
The US banking system might be ludicrously archaic, with the most efficient way of paying someone often still deemed to be mailing a small piece of paper hundreds of miles, but a happy side effect of the continued American reliance on cheques (or "checks", if you insist) is that most major banks seem to allow you to pay them in via your bank's mobile app just by taking a photograph.
This means that if you have a US bank account and you're being paid by an American client (but not currently in the US yourself), a cheque might not be an entirely unrealistic option: you could get it sent to a virtual address, forwarded on to wherever in the world you are, then use the app to pay it in remotely. It seems insane, but if you're dealing with large accounts departments who won't use another payment method, it is at least an option.
If your bank account is in the UK, Barclays has recently become the first UK bank to offer the "pay in by app" service, and others may follow suit.
That's the bad news – and it is bad, because that's a hefty amount to be giving away – but the upside is that the person paying you can use their PayPal balance, bank transfer or credit card so there's no excuse for not paying you. PayPal also integrates with just about every piece of invoicing software out there.
When we do work for US clients, we quote our fees and allow them to pay in US dollars – because otherwise it's hard for them to work out how much they're paying us and makes it even more of a challenge for them to pay. As the dollar is pretty much the global currency, I imagine lots of other contractors do the same.
The challenge is that when a US dollar transfer is made into a PayPal account that's denominated in another currency, PayPal converts the payment into that currency at a horrible exchange rate that bears no relation to reality. Yes, you could set up a separate US dollar balance on any PayPal account, but you'll still get stuffed by that same nasty exchange rate whenever you convert the money back to your home currency – and on a recent invoice of ours for a few thousand dollars, the exchange rate left us worse off by $103.
We've considered just keeping a balance in dollars and using it whenever we need to pay for something that's charged in that currency, but it's not ideal: our main expenses (flights and Airbnb) usually can't be paid using PayPal, and it makes our tax accounting even more complicated than it already is.
PayPal Business Payments is an option so good that it's impossible to find anything on their website about it: a flat fee of only $0.50 for any payment amount. For large payments, this can add up to a gigantic difference.
You need a US-based PayPal account.
It's only for payments in US dollars.
The payer can't use their credit card to pay – only PayPal balance or bank transfer.
You have to issue an invoice using software that supports PayPal Business Payments.
In other words, you can't just tell someone how much they owe you: you have to issue an invoice using a specific piece of software, and they can click the button to pay.
And is there a list of software anywhere that supports PayPal Business Payments? Of course not: the whole thing is like a limited trial that was set up years ago and someone forgot to cancel. It does definitely work with Freshbooks (who have posted about it here) and Harvest, but there may be others.
A wire transfer eliminates the small piece of paper and the high percentage-based fee, but it does introduce a whole new set of variables which mean you can never be sure how much money you're actually going to receive. There's a fee for sending, often a fee for receiving, plus intermediaries who may or may not take a cut depending on the route your money takes. And even then, the payment can take several days to arrive.
A wire transfer is initiated by the person sending the money through their bank – and depending on the bank in question it might need to be done in person or over the phone, but it can often be done online.
The benefit over PayPal is that even though the fees are unpredictable, for larger invoices at least they're unlikely to add up to more than 2.9%. Also, for cross-currency payments you'll only be charged the real exchange rate (as long as your bank isn't up to anything sneaky, and you can check with them in advance) so you won't be clobbered with that fee too.
The downside is that not all banks allow international wire transfers, and the fact that there's a fee for the sender makes it both a hassle and a perceived expense for them (even if you tell them to deduct the transfer fee from the amount they send you).
TransferWise is 100% solid amazing for any situation where a client needs to pay you in a different currency from their own. For example, if you're a European contractor who charges in euros and your client is in the US and holding US dollars, TransferWise is far cheaper than a wire transfer and not much more effort for the payer than using PayPal.
The client visits the TransferWise website, says how many euros they want to send, and uploads the equivalent amount in US dollars from their debit card or bank account.
TransferWise matches the transaction with one going in the other direction to save on conversion fees.
The euros are deposited in your bank account a couple of days later.
The fee varies depending on the currency pairing, but can be as low as 0.5%. When the payer is setting up the transfer it clearly tells you what the fees are, when the money will arrive, and how much cheaper it is than a typical wire transfer – which can easily be more than $50.
Even better: If you sign up using our link, you'll pay NO fees on your first transfer! Claim your free payment now.
It hasn't launched yet, but CoinPip is another service for cross-currency payments (based on bitcoin) which looks like it will beat TransferWise in two ways: the flat fee is only 0.3%, and it guarantees that you will get your money within 48 hours.
It's not live yet, but you can sign up here to be notified when it launches.
If you qualify and don't mind the restrictions, use PayPal Business Payments.
To keep things simple, take a deep breath and use PayPal (or any credit card-based method based on Stripe, which I've excluded for simplicity but adds up to the same kind of fees).
For cross-currency payments, use TransferWise (for now).
Avoid wire transfers if at all possible because they're so unpredictable and annoying to set up.
Receiving a cheque/check isn't ideal, but is possible if your bank has an app that allows you to pay it in remotely.
The most important thing is to discuss the payment methods you accept with your client before the job starts. We've made the mistake of not doing this in the past, and it leaves a bad taste for everyone when a great project is rounded off with a week of ping-pong emails about how you should get paid.
I'd love to know what payment methods you use – so please let me know in the comments!

With over 55,000 full time students, and just over 13,400 available student beds, it's easy to see why there has been significant interest in the student property market in Leeds. One of the UK's traditional university towns, Leeds now offers seven full time higher educational establishments, attracting a large number of overseas students each year.
Leeds moved quickly with the local history and became a significant market town in the Middle Ages to take advantage of a booming agricultural trade, then shortly after accrued fame for its cloth and wool production. The Industrial Revolution gave Leeds a fantastic boost, bringing it into the 19th century as a powerful industrial centre with success now in engineering and metalwork. Since the decline of the British industry, Leeds has become the largest centre of business, legal and financial services outside of London.
Leeds is the 'capital' of the West Yorkshire area, being the chief centre of culture, finance and commerce in the locality. Enjoying a very central location in the northern reaches of England, Leeds is a popular stopover point for those travelling further towards Newcastle, Edinburgh and Glasgow. With excellent motorway links, Leeds is just over 3 hours away from London and less than 2 hours from Birmingham. Other northern powerhouses such as Liverpool and Manchester are both less than 90 minutes from the city. Leeds City (railway) station is a busy hub which connects Leeds to most major UK cities, whilst the public transport systems make good use of the city's ring road and A road network to supply local travel. Leeds-Bradford International Airport flies to Europe and North America and is just 20 minutes from the city.
Recent years have seen a significant increase in the levels of interest in the Leeds student property market, as investors became increasingly aware the widening gap between overall student numbers and the numbers of available student beds in the city. At present, the latest estimates show approximately 13,400 available student beds for the cities 55,000 full time students. With a students to beds ratio of 4.1, this is currently above the UK average, showing a distinct structual imbalance in availability.

The Oxford Society of Glasgow University Graduates (OSGUG) was founded in 1990 to enable alumni and former staff of the University to establish and maintain social contact with one another while taking an interest in and promoting the academic pursuits and aspirations of their Alma Mater.
The Society brought together a number of eminent academics working in the University of Oxford, distinguished research scientists at Harwell, doctors, teachers, business professionals and military service personnel. Membership grew quickly, demonstrating that unique sense of identity and pride in our long association with the city and the University of Glasgow. Students traditionally forge strong and enduring friendships during their undergraduate years but OSGUG has enabled many new and warm personal ties to be established in the two decades since it was set up.
We share a pride in our academic and career achievements but also gratitude to the University which strives for ever higher standards in education and research. Our members' individual and collective commitment to the University and to its current and future students shines through in the level of donations given to The University of Glasgow Trust which now exceeds £100,000. OSGUG is listed as a Major Donor on the University's Online Benefactor Wall in recognition of the support it has provided to specific and general projects.

In the summer of 2009 the Scottish Federation for Coarse Angling signed a landmark agreement with British Waterways to take control of all fishing on the Forth & Clyde and Union Canals.
Having obtained the fishing rights, the SFCA decided to revolutionise the way in which that fishing was controlled and paid for. Instead of continuing with the old ineffective, labour intensive and costly mechanism of selling day and season tickets, a decision was taken to give away the fishing FREE of charge with Annual Individual Membership of the SFCA.
*Junior membership is open to everyone aged 16 years or under on 1st April of the year for which membership is applied.
Since taking control of the canal network the Federation has used this unique facility, spanning the central belt, to promote coarse angling in Scotland. This creates the opportunity for young Scots to access FREE fishing in a productive and safe environment.


SplashData's annual list of most common passwords found that, once again, "123456" is America's most beloved digital key. However, this comical collection highlights both user frustration with password use and the technological sector's current quest to replace it with something more sophisticated, The Washington Post reports. Fingerprint authentication is one future avenue, but critics argue that the commonality of our fingerprints makes them easy to lift and nefariously employ. "For now, at least, consumers are probably best off trying to remember strong, unique passwords for important services and turning on two-factor authentication, a system where they have to go through another step to confirm their identity when they log in — usually entering a code that's texted to their phone," the report states. Editor's Note: New FTC Chief Technologist Lorrie Faith Cranor, CIPT, wrote about password best practices for Privacy Tech.


Description This book follows the story of two friends separated by their ambitions and passions yet connected by their love for the same girl. While Gopal, who has experienced the harsh realities of life due to poverty aspires to become rich, his friend Raghav has only witnessed the same cruelties but desires to revolutionize India due to it. As they grow older, they disconnect from each other and are busy with their individual lives. But Aarti somehow ties them together being their mutual friend. Both of them are in love with the same girl and this incorporates the romance aspect of this book. However after seeing what Raghav has gone through due to the joint revenge taken by the MLA and Gopal himself yet sustaining his determination to bring the revolution, Gopal decides to change somethings on his part and help his friend anonymously. He stops the affair he has with Raghav's girlfriend Aarti and lets go of her despite his unconditional love for her. He also asks Dainik to hire Raghav back. Things slowly improve for Raghav financially as he can now work on his articles, while Gopal is shown to slowly become a better person. Although in the end we see Gopal is alone and prefers to be isolated, he is indeed rich and successful as he wanted to be and Raghav, who is now almost the MLA (since his in-laws were mildly involved with politics helped him) sees his dream of bringing about change as well.

Q: Assigning a list of labels values generated from a list of objects I have an ajax call that returns a Serialized JSON string with various keys and values within it, I want to loop through these values and assign each individual key and value to a different label, I already have 8 labels set up. (I am quite new to Javascript so any help or constructive feedback would be greatly appreciated)
Haven't tried much as I am quite new to JavaScript
var obj = response.ret.SearchCriteria;

var resultJSON = obj;

var result = $.parseJSON(resultJSON);

var count = Object.keys(result).length;

for (i = 1; i < count; i++) {

  var c = $('#lbl' + [i]);

  $.each(result, function(k, v) {

    c.text(k + ' is ' + v);

  });

};

I have 6 labels and the last item of the JSON array (String) is displayed in each label

A: I believe your issue is why only last item of JSON array is being displayed in each label.
This is because of c.text(k + ' is ' + v).
Here the existing text content is replaced with every iteration of 'each' loop
Instead, you can consider doing this, which will append existing content as well with $.each loop.
c.text(c.text() + k + ' is ' + v)

OR
Simply
c.append( k + ' is ' + v)

If I am wrong in my assumption, please describe your scenario more, so that we can help you out :)


Cha cha cha was the musical sensation of Cuba during the revolutionary era, from the mid-50s until 1959. Rolando Valdes' Orquesta Sensacion popularized that sound, and Abelardo Barroso, "el Caruso de Cuba," was the voice of cha cha cha. Here at long last are fourteen sides from that famous collaboration. Barroso, one of Cuba's most popular singers of the 20s and 30s, was considered washed up by 1955 when Valdes hired him to sing on the session that produced tracks 1 and 2. Listening to his voice now, it's hard to believe people thought he was over the hill – smooth, rich and utterly relaxed, it's the apotheosis of Cuban singing. Sensacion is a classic flutes-and-fiddles charanga in the manner of Orchestra Aragon and the various Maravillas combos; they swing in a subversively genteel manner once you get past the pseudo-classical intros and flourishes. But it's Barroso's singing that really set them apart – he kills it equally on the uptempo numbers (1, 3, 7 and 9) and on the boleros (2 and 12). The remastering here is exquisite – it's hard to believe these are 60 year old recordings. This kind of project is why I love reissues.


A side judge was a few feet from the play and no call? Should have been first and goal at the 5 yard line. The only thing that can stop this from happening again is to allow teams to challenge ALL calls...not just certain calls. Especially in a playoff game! Not to mention way too many of this game's refs with ties to L.A. The NFL needs alot of work in the off season.
You must remember, that was a huge market against a small market. It is not team against team. Saints are a small market. LA is well LA. It is one of the biggest markets in the world with very little interest by the locals currently. LA getting to the super bowl helps promote football in LA to increases revenue.
While the game was not "fixed", with the referees help, it was manipulated. A call or no call here or there and momentum is changed by the zebras.
Make no mistake, in this billion dollar industry, this was all about money and markets.
With all that said, I am still pissed!
But what do I know, I am just a dumb coonass working in the oilfield, right?
it's just karma comming around for all that kneeling and bad mouthing trump. fine with me.
How were they even able to be involved ref'ing that game??? *** !!! And It wasn't fixed U say??
No call and poor head coach play calling in last 2 mins of the game lost it for the Saints.
Ps. The hit on Brees that Rams intercepted should have been roughing the passer.
Call timeout so they can review the helmet to helmet since pass interference can't be reviewed. I didn't watch a single snap of the sb.

A Legacy at the Institute and Tribal Communities
https://news.mit.edu/2022/nonabah-lane-navajo-educator-environmental-sustainability-specialist-dies-1115
D-Lab
MIT Solve
PKG Public Service Center
Indigenous Community Planning
Nonabah Lane, a Navajo educator and environmental sustainability specialist with numerous MIT ties to MIT, passed away in October. She was 46.
Lane had recently been an MIT Media Lab Director's Fellow; MIT Solve 2019 Indigenous Communities Fellow; Department of Urban Studies and Planning guest lecturer and community partner; community partner with the PKG Public Service Center, Terrascope, and D-Lab; and a speaker at this year's MIT Energy Week.
Lane was a passionate sustainability specialist with experience spearheading successful environmental civic science projects focused in agriculture, water science, and energy. Committed to mitigating water pollutants and environmental hazards in tribal communities, she held extensive knowledge of environmental policy and Indigenous water rights.
Lane's clans were Ta'neezahnii (Tangled People), born for Tł'izíłání (Manygoats People), and her maternal grandfathers are the Kiiyaa'aanii (Towering House People), and paternal grandfathers are Bįįh Bitoo'nii (Deer Spring People).
Lane was a member of the Navajo Nation, Nenahnezad Chapter. At Navajo Power, she worked as the lead developer for solar and energy storage projects to benefit tribal communities on the Navajo Nation and other tribal nations in New Mexico. Prior to joining Navajo Power, Lane co-founded Navajo Ethno-Agriculture, a farm that teaches Navajo culture through traditional farming and bilingual education. Lane also launched a campaign to partner with local Navajo schools and tribal colleges to create their own water-testing capabilities and translate data into information to local farmers.
"I had the opportunity to collaborate closely with Nonabah on a range of initiatives she was championing on energy, food, justice, water, Indigenous leadership, youth STEM, and more. She was innovative, entrepreneurial, inclusive, heartfelt, and positively impacted MIT on every visit to campus. She articulated important things that needed saying and expanded people's thinking constantly. We will all miss her insights and teamwork," says Megan Smith '86, SM '88, MIT Corporation life member; third U.S. chief technology officer and assistant to the president in the Office of Science and Technology Policy; and founder and CEO of shift7.
In March 2019, Lane and her family — parents Gloria and Harry and brother Bruce — welcomed students and staff of the MIT Terrascope first-year learning community to their farm, where they taught unique, hands-on lessons about traditional Diné farming and spirituality. She then continued to collaborate with Terrascope, helping staff and students develop community-based work with partners in Navajo Nation.
Terrascope associate director and lecturer Ari Epstein says, "Nonabah was an inspiring person and a remarkable collaborator; she had a talent for connecting and communicating across disciplinary, organizational, and cultural differences, and she was generous with her expertise and knowledge. We will miss her very much."
Lane came to MIT in May 2019 for the MIT Solve Indigenous Communities Fellowship and Solve at MIT event, representing Navajo Ethno-Agriculture with her mother, Gloria Lane, and brother, Bruce Lane, and later serving as a Fellow Leadership Group member.
"Nonabah was an incredible individual who worked tirelessly to better all of her communities, whether it was back home on the Navajo Nation, here at MIT Solve, or supporting her family and friends," says Alex Amouyel, executive director of MIT Solve. "More than that, Nonabah was a passionate mentor and caring friend of so many, carefully tending the next generation of Indigenous innovators, entrepreneurs, and change-makers. Her loss will be felt deeply by the MIT community, and her legacy of heartfelt service will not be forgotten."
She continued to be heavily involved across the MIT campus — named as a 2019 Media Lab Director's Fellow, leading a workshop at the 2020 MIT Media Lab Festival of Learning on modernizing Navajo foods using traditional food science and cultural narrative, speaking at the 2022 MIT Energy Conference "Accelerating the Clean Energy Transition," and taking part in the MIT Center for Bits and Atoms (CBA) innovation weekly co-working groups for Covid-response related innovations.
"My CBA colleagues and I enjoyed working with Nonabah on rapid-prototyping for the Covid response, on expanding access to digital fabrication, and on ambitious proposals for connecting emerging technology with Indigenous knowledge," says Professor Neil Gershenfeld, director, MIT Center for Bits and Atoms.
Nonabah also guest lectured for the MIT Department of Urban Studies and Planning's Indigenous Environmental Planning class in Spring 2022. Professors Lawrence Susskind and Gabriella Carolini and teaching assistant Dení López led the class in cooperation with Elizabeth Rule, Chickasaw Nation member and professor at American University.
Carolini shares, on behalf of Susskind and the class, "During this time, our teaching team and students from a broad range of fields at MIT had the deep honor of learning from and with the inimitable Nonabah Lane. Nonabah was a dedicated and critical partner to our class, representing in this instance Navajo Power — but of course, also so much more. Her broad experiences and knowledge — working with fellow Navajo members on energy and agriculture sovereignty, as well as in advancing entrepreneurship and innovation — reflected the urgency Nonabah saw in meeting the challenges and opportunities for sustainable and equitable futures in Navajo nation and beyond. She was a pure life force, running on all fires, and brought to our class a dedicated drive to educate, learn, and extend our reference points beyond current knowledge frontiers."
Three MIT students — junior Isabella Gandara, Alexander Gerszten '22, and Paul Picciano MS '22 — who worked closely with Lane on a project with Navajo Power, recalled how she shared herself with them in so many ways, through her truly exceptional work ethic, stories about herself and her family, and the care and thought that she put into her ventures. They noted there was always something new to feel inspired by when in her presence.
"The PKG Public Service Center mourns the passing of Nonabah Lane. Navajo Ethno-Agriculture is a valued PKG Center partner that offers MIT undergraduate students the opportunity to support community-led projects with the Diné Community on Navajo Nation. Nonabah inspired students to examine broad social and technical issues that impact Indigenous communities in Navajo Nation and beyond, in many cases leaving an indelible mark on their personal and professional paths," says Jill S. Bassett, associate dean and director of the PKG Public Service Center.
Lane was a Sequoyah Fellow of the American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES) and remained actively engaged in the AISES community by mentoring young people interested in the fields of science, engineering, agriculture, and energy. Over the years, Lane collaborated with leaders across tribal lands and beyond on projects related to agriculture, energy, sustainable chemicals, and finance. Lane had an enormous positive impact on many through her accomplishments and also the countless meaningful connections she helped to form among people in diverse fields.
Donations may be made to a memorial fund organized by Navajo Power, PBC in honor of Nonabah Lane, in support of Navajo Ethno-Agriculture, the Native American nonprofit she co-founded and cared deeply for.

Interview: YC on "Racks"
By Naomi Zeichner
This Memorial Day weekend, YC's underdog summer jam "Racks" was probably played more times, on more radio stations broadcasting to more sidewalk/lakeside barbecues than the Decatur native could have imagined when he recorded that song almost a year ago. We talked to him about how the track was born, its 13-minute remix and why he's not sick of performing it, yet.
How did "Racks" happen?
It was just a song that got recorded and blew up. It wasn't like I tried to make a song to do that. I made it last August, and once it was made, it just blew up.
When could you tell it was becoming a big deal in Atlanta?
It's hard to say. It was getting big in the clubs, then it got big on the radio. I don't remember when, around October, I believe. The strip clubs love the song. Women tell me, "I make money when they play that song."
Did you know Future before you grabbed him to rap on it?
Yeah. I knew him from around the way, childhood-wise. Some of my people know his people.
Have you heard the "Racks" remix that's almost 13 minutes long? It has you and 16 other rappers on it.
They say it's the world's longest remix! I'm waiting on the Guinness book to call. But you won't believe it, I haven't even heard my remix all the way through yet.
Cause you don't have any patience?
I been so busy! I gotta get somebody to play it for me, I haven't even had time to play it till the end. I was trying to see if Wayne was gonna get on there. He ain't got on it yet, but his remix might just pop up out the blue.
How old are you now?
Which age? I got two of them, 19 and 26.
The real one! What's the fake one for?
19's the fake one. Because everybody keeps swearing that I'm 19.
Now you're on the road. Where have you been?
Out for the last couple months. In Detroit, Chicago, DC, Florida. Now I'm starting to go to the West Coast. I travel normally with about 15 people, but today the entourage is like 30.
We're going to Miami to have a good time. I got shows Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I rented a yacht. I rented a big house, with the pool, the tennis court and everything. We got the jet skis, the boat docked in the back of the house.
How do you usually spend your days off?
I'm off for two days a week. On those days I try and go in the studio, so I'm never really off. In the next year I wanna get two or three more songs on the Billboard charts. I'm so tried of eating hamburgers. I haven't had a home-cooked meal in about four months.
Are you sick of "Racks," too?
Until the crowd and the fans stop moving to it, I won't get tired of it. Cause even if I get tired of it, when I get onstage and start rapping and they go crazy, I'm not tired of it.

Because of the FA Cup quarter-finals, there will be just FIVE Premier League matches in GW28. There won't be a lot to choose from given that the four of the Top 6 are out of action. Weeks like these are make-or-break – make the right choices and it will be the chance to catch up on your rivals. Any slip-ups and you will fall miles behind.
In this unique Gameweek, we will split our picks into three buckets – the "must-haves", the "maybes" and the "differentials".
<GK> Joel Robles (EVE) – WBA is a decent team but at this stage of the season, they can be forgiven if they are to take their collective feet off the pedal.
<DF> Leighton Baines (EVE) – Baines is on penalty duties and with the (high) possibility of a clean sheet, another must have.
<DF> Aleksandar Kolarov (MCI) – Pep Guardiola does tinker his back line a bit but Kolarov has only missed two games so far this season so should be a definite starter against Stoke.
<MF> Gylfi Sigurdsson (SWA) – The Icelander is in a rich vein of form, having scored or assisted in 7 of his last games, including against the likes of City, Chelsea and Liverpool.
<FW> Romelu Lukaku (EVE) – Lukaku has 6 goals in his last four games and with the top scorer race heating up, will relish his chances against his former club WBA.
<GK> Simon Mignolet (LIV) – Burnley has only scored 8 goals in 13 away from home but not too much trust can ever be placed on this Liverpool defence.
<DF> Nathaniel Clyne (LIV) – To be fair, Clyne plays a very attacking role at Liverpool but has only had 2 assists so far this season. A definite maybe here.
<MF> Philippe Coutinho (LIV) – Coutinho has been playing OK since his return from injury but performances have yet to translate into points as he has only scored once in his last 7.
<MF> Leroy Sane <MCI> – Sane plays upfront and is listed as a midfielder in the game. He is on form but we aren't sure if he will start the game or if he will deliver week in week out.
<FW> Roberto Firmino (LIV) – Think you get our drift here – another Liverpool player makes our maybe list. Just 2 goals in 8 for Firmino, not exactly top form but he will start and may score.
<DF> Andrea Ranocchia (HUL) – The ex-Inter defender has averaged 10 pts since his arrival.
<DF> Alfie Mawson (SWA) – The new Swansea center-back has an eye for goal.
<MF> Ryan Fraser (BOU) – The diminutive Scot has started the last 9 games, keeping out 15-million pound Jordan Ibe.
<FW> Fernando Llorente (SWA) – The Spaniard has 3 goals in his last 2 games – will he strike again?


New Delhi, Dec 12: Oil prices climbed by more than 1 percent on Wednesday, lifted by expectations that an OPEC-led supply cut announced last week for 2019 would stabilise markets as well as hopes that long-running Sino-American trade tensions could ease.
International Brent crude oil futures Were at $60.89 per barrel at 0212 GMT, up 69 cents, or 1.15 percent from their last close.
US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures were at $52.25 per barrel, up 60 cents, or 1.2 percent.
The higher prices came amid a broader increase in Asian stock markets after U.S. President Donald Trump told Reuters in an interview that trade talks with China were taking place to defuse the trade disputes between the world's two biggest economies.
Core to oil markets was a decision by the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and some non-OPEC producers including Russia last week to cut supply by 1.2 million barrels per day (bpd).


The blue light emitted from electronics turns off melatonin, the sleepy hormone your pineal gland produces that regulated your circadian rhythm. AKA the thing that tells your body it is time to go to bed. I use the app F.LUX for my computer and TWILIGHT for my phone. It adjusts your phone and computer for you to filter out the most blue light. I love both of these apps and they have helps me tremendously with my light sensitivity. Also if you get headaches or migraines frequently downloading this app would be a smart move as light is known to be a trigger.
These night lights have a red-tinted bulb. The red light does not turn off your melatonin and it's helpful if you need to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night.
Organic Chamomile tea, GABA, Adrenal Supplements, Ashwagandha, ect.
Do your own research and find what works for you. I personally do not like melatonin even in low doses, out of all the people I've come into contact with only one of them has had melatonin work for them. So I always suggest checking out other herbal approaches.
Our bodies need oxygen and taking deep breaths can oxygenate our mitochondria as well. Getting good oxygen to your brain and body can help turn off your "animal brain" that worries about everything you did and didn't do that day. This can help you learn to regain control and send you into a calm place. JUST BREATHE. Here is a breathing technique I use- Sit or lay comfortably and imagine your body being rooted into the ground, becoming one with the earth. I always imagine myself in a forest or imagine myself laying on the floor. I focus on the trees I see and inhale a deep breath of fresh pine air about 5 times or until I am fully enveloped in calmness. I then come back to my body and by that time I am completely relaxed. I have taught my little boy to breathe deeply with me and it has helped him fall asleep faster. When we are stressed we tend to take shorter breaths and deplete the oxygen in our bodies. Remember to breathe you got this!
This spiky mat may look a bit like a torture device but I assure you it is not. You lay on it before you go to bed and it can help turn off your "animal brain". Laying on it may be a bit uncomfortable because your body is unsure what this "thing" is that is poking it. Your animal brain may turn on and tell you to get off the mat. My advice is to stay on, once your body realizes it isn't going to die it will release endorphins and you may feel very relaxed.
7. 1 Tbs of organic, preferably local raw honey.
This hack is more of a "better sleep" hack. Taking a tablespoon of honey before bed can help give your body the glucose it needs at night to help your body repair while you sleep. Talk to your doctor especially if you are diabetic.
Whatever it is that is keeping you up at night find a solution. Do not accept your bad sleep as a "normal" thing for you. You have the power to achieve anything you want to. If one thing doesn't work then try another! It took me the longest to bio-hack my sleep and it was so WORTH IT! Do not give up! Having great sleep will allow you to get into a better flow state during the day and help with your overall health. The best investment you can make is in yourself.


Not much movement has taken place recently on "The Girl Who Played With Fire," the follow-up to David Fincher's 2011 film adaptation of Stieg Larsson's bestseller "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo".
Fincher's 'Dragon Tattoo' generated $102 million domestically and $232 million worldwide, but from a costly $90 million budget. The Swedish language version produced two years earlier generated $104 million worldwide on a budget of just $13 million.
