With the new  and the upcoming release of  film, JK Rowling has been awesome and given us new writing on the .  In the introduction it is stated that there are eleven established/registered schools. There are writings for six of them. I don't think we need a new writing for Hogwarts... so that means seven have been located and defined.   Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry - Great Britain  - France  - Northern Europe (possibly Estonia, Latvia, or Belarus)  - Japan  - Africa (possibly Congo/DRC)  - Brazil  - United States   Do we know anything of possible location or names of the other four schools? I know Koldovstoretz was mentioned as school in Russia, but is that still canon?   Koldovstoretz - Russia (maybe depending on current canon)   The final three are my guesses based on the population and geography on the world.   Name Unknown - China (based on population) Name Unknown - India (based on population) Name Unknown - Australia (based on geography)   Related:
Are there other schools for witches and wizards in the rest of the world? In the books they only speak of 3 schools, but what about Asian or American people?  And even more, were they affected by the events happening in Europe?
I have an app to deploy in production that uses 'honor system' security. That is, all users connect to the DB using a SQL user/passwd credential and the app manages permissions itself. The latter part doesn't bother me as much as the fact that the connection object contains embedded credentials and can be copied around freely. I'm try to find some way to limit connections to a more limited set of clients. I can create firewall rules to limit by IP, of course. Is there any way to 'prequalify' SQL logins either by Machine account or domain membership? What damage will powering down instead of shutting down do? Are there 'stack' sites for Mac or Windows? $\sum \cos$ when angles are in arithmetic progression Delay in approval leads to missing out on being awarded an "Explainer" badge I am not sure if this is a bug or a design error, but I came across this issue on Robotics. I assume that the same code is employed across the various SE sites, so I am posting my question here. I submitted an answer to  at 16:26.    I then suggested an edit to the question at 17:03. However, it was not until 20 hours later, at 13:03, that the edit was approved, so I appear to have missed out on the &quot;Explainer&quot; badge, as the edit should be done within 12 hours.    I don't know the reason for the delay, as I do not have a low approval rating:    I'm not bothered about missing out on the badge, nor am I criticising the reviewers - after all, we all do this in our free time. However, it does seem that the algorithm for the badge relies on the approval time, in lieu of the submit time, which does not seem to be correct, as the badge then becomes dependant upon the reviewer's availability/responsiveness, rather than upon the actions of the answerer/editor.  TL;DR Should the badge also check if the edit was caused by a suggested edit and, in those cases, look at the time it was suggested rather than the time it was eventually approved? Mavericks input source is set to US keyboard in login screen I'm from Belgium, and on my own user account, the input source is set to a Belgian (actually French) keyboard. The input sources menu is enabled in the menu bar, so I can switch it to the Belgian keyboard before entering my password, but how can I permanently change the input source used for login? I'm the system admin, and I know how to get root access if necessary.  It worked perfectly in Mountain Lion. Which meta am I supposed to post on? I'm mostly active on  and we have a separate . Most of my questions on IT Security meta have answers with links here. So my question is, where am I supposed to post what i.e. feature request, bug report, behavior questions? Joining attributes of polygons and points by location in QGIS I have two shapefiles....   points containing a number field 'response_time' a polygon grid of square polygons containing fields including 'PNTCNT' with the number of points per polygon, calculated already using the tool 'points in polygon'   There are between 0 and 600 points within the bounds of each polygon in the grid.  I want to add fields to the polygon grid for the mean, min and max response times within each polygon, in addition to the PNTCNT field already there.  I have tried the 'Join attributes by location' tool, making the polygon layer the target and the points the join layer, and vice versa. I've selected 'take summary of interesting features'.  But I can't get the result I want. All I end up with is the polygon grid again but with an extra field 'COUNT' which replicates (or duplicates) the 'PNTCNT' field. No min, max and mean of values from the points layer.  What am I doing wrong? Is there a better way to do this? I have tried this using QGIS 1.7 and 1.8. How is the ability of a person who gained physical access to your computer to get root with those steps in any way secure?   When grub2 menu opens press  e  to edit the Linux start options Change:   "linux   /vmlinuz-2.6.35-23-generic root=UUID=e7f1e48d-0015-485f-be7d-836217a31312 ro   quiet splash"    to:  "linux   /vmlinuz-2.6.35-23-generic root=UUID=e7f1e48d-0015-485f-be7d-836217a31312 ro init=/bin/bash"  Now you have root access just do:   mount -o remount,rw / passwd user mount -o remount,ro /  sync  reboot the computer and you win.   My question is, how is being able to break into any Linux machine through grub2 secure? I don't understand that fact about Linux, thank you for your answers. Can I create script tag by jQuery? Will two-letter font style commands (\bf , \it , …) ever be resurrected in LaTeX? I understand that \bf and \it are now obsolete in LaTeX and that \textbf and \textit are proper, as they produce more sophisticated (in particular, cumulative and properly kerned) changes to font style. I have read the  and I understand the rules and their reasons, as well as the several other commands that are affected.  However, I find it convenient to use LaTeX for notetaking during lectures, and in that rushed environment, shortening a command by any number of keystrokes helps keep me from falling behind. \bf and its two-letter kin are still very useful to me for that reason, and once a presentation is finished I can go through and replace all appearances of \bf et al. with \textbf et al.  My question is this: is there a plan eventually to replace the short font style commands like \bf with the implementations of \textbf etc. some day, or should I expect \bf always to remain in existence but obsolete, for reasons of backward compatibility with original TeX? Original TeX has been greatly improved on in countless ways, but in the heat of transcription I sometimes miss its conciseness. If in Pete's World there's no Doctor, how is there a Torchwood?

I need to prove that for any $2 \le n,k$ positive integers $(n - 1)^2 \mid n^k -1$ if and only if $(n - 1) \mid k$  Thanks! Create a box using the tcolorbox package or any other?

Thanks HDMI over cat extender video How do I reset my manor so I can rebuild it with different options? What is the difference between "AS" and "IS" in an Oracle stored procedure? I see Oracle procedures sometimes written with "AS", and sometimes with "IS" keyword.   CREATE OR REPLACE Procedure TESTUSER.KILLINSTANCE (INSTANCEID integer) **AS** ...   vs.  CREATE OR REPLACE Procedure TESTUSER.KILLINSTANCE (INSTANCEID integer) **IS** ...   Is there any difference between the two?   Edit: Apparently, there is no functional difference between the two, but some people follow a convention to use "AS" when the SP is part of a package and "IS" when it is not. Or the other way 'round. Meh. I changed my Blender Units to Metric System, but when I'm building things, my meshes are transparent, i.e. I can see through faces like in wireframe even though my wireframe is turned off. All faces have a light white in non-wireframe mode, but I can still see through them.   How do I reverse this?  Another issue I get is this    Looks like clipping is not working properly. $x^p-c$ has no root in a field $F$ if and only if $x^p-c$ is irreducible? Hungerford's book of algebra has exercise $6$ chapter $3$ section $6$ [Probably impossible with the tools at hand.]:     Let $p \in \mathbb{Z}$ be a prime; let $F$ be a field  and let $c \in  F$. Then $x^p - c$ is irreducible in $F[x]$ if and only if $x^p - c$   has no root  in $F$. [Hint: consider two cases: char$(F) = p$ and   char$(F)$ different of $p$.]   I have attempted this a lot. Anyone has an answer?
