When a wizard dies in the Harry Potter series, do all of their spells die with them?  When I say die, I mean get lifted.   For example, in Half-Blood Prince, after Dumbledore's death, this happens:  Harry heard Hagrid’s moan of pain and shock, but he did not stop; he walked slowly forward until he reached the place where Dumbledore lay and crouched down beside him. He had known there was no hope from the moment that the full Body-Bind Curse Dumbledore had placed upon him lifted, known that it could have happened only because its caster was dead, but there was still no preparation for seeing him here, spread-eagled, broken: the greatest wizard Harry had ever, or would ever, meet.  As a counterargument, we have the ancient but powerful protective enchantments placed around Hogwarts (probably cast by the founders of the school which were Godric Gryffindor, Salazar Slytherin, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Helga Hufflepuff). We also have the enchantments on the Chamber of Secrets, which were cast by Salazar Slytherin, and by the year 1992 (the 2nd year of Harry Potter whose book name is also The Chamber of Secrets), must have been at least 1,000 years old, but still effectively working. These 4 have been dead for hundreds of years, but their magic still exist in the modern Harry Potter world.
Looking at the questions and answer to these two questions.  &amp;  and neither mentions the longevity of magic. I recall several instances of magic failing to last; the money that was spread at the  and the broken  on.  If I recall correctly when Voldemort died, the curses on several people were lifted.  I don't recall if any other spells fell apart with his death.  Is there any canon evidence on the the length of time a spell will live?
How to integrate a paper where I am third author, but did a lot of work, into my master's thesis? I am writing my thesis currently and I want to include papers that I am included on as an author.  I will have a couple papers where I am 1st author, but there is one where I am third but did a lot of the work.  How do I go about integrating it into my thesis?  Can I copy/paste most of the text still or do I need to rewrite it?  I don't want to plagiarize but don't want to rewrite it if I don't have to. How to copy file path to clipboard? Is there a way to copy the currently selected filename, including the path, to the clipboard? Ideally this would be through the right-click menu.  Some degree of flexibility would be useful, like the ability to copy just the filename, path+filename, filename minus extension, etc. This isn't essential, though, as long as it can copy the path+filename.  The solution must be compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7. Every time I try to do something seemingly-simple in CSS, it doesn't work.  I have a content div that contains a 460x160 image. All I want to do is position the image at the bottom-right corner and wrap my text around it.  &lt;div id="contents"&gt;     &lt;img src="..." /&gt;     text text text text text text ... &lt;/div&gt;   So I want it to look like:  ------------------ | text text text | | text text text | | text text -----| | text text |    | ------------------   Doing it with a top-left or top-right image is cake:  #contents img { float:right; }  ------------------ | text text |    | | text text -----| | text text text | | text text text | ------------------   Now how do I push that to the bottom? The best I've come up with so far are:  #contents img { float:right; margin-top: 90%} // really needs to be 100%-160px  ------------------ | text text      | | text text      | | text text -----| | text text |    | ------------------   In this case the text does not print in the margin, so there is white space above the image.  #contents { position:relative; } #contents img { position:absolute; right:0; bottom:0; }  -or-  // move the img tag under the text in the html and: #contents img { float:right; margin-top:-160; }  ------------------ | text text text | | text text text | | text text -----| | text text | te | ------------------   In this case the text prints over or under the image.  So... how can I accomplish this? What happened after the Ring was dropped into Mount Doom? In the Peter Jackson movie, once the One Ring is thrown into the volcano in Mount Doom, why does the mountain and tower collapse, and the ground disappears everywhere where the orcs are standing but not where the humans are? Where are all the orcs running to, what do they do next? I propose to let users vote on closing activities of moderators and other users with closevoting power.  Like this:       closed as exact duplicate by Michael Mrozek, waiwai933, Arjan, YOU, Yi Jiang 6 hours ago      This question covers exactly the same ground as earlier questions on this topic; its answers may be merged with another identical question.   Make it like this:     closed as exact duplicate by Michael Mrozek, waiwai933, Arjan, YOU, Yi Jiang 6 hours ago   fair/unfair close? [agree] [disagree]      This question covers exactly the same ground as earlier questions on this topic; its answers may be merged with another identical question.   Then the system will gather statistics and automatically grant more closing powers to those users who enjoy support of the community and revoke those powers from those mostly casting contradictory votes.  It would seem that granting the same powers to everybody has not resulted in balance but in public disorder. Perhaps it is reflective of American lifestyle (everybody has the right and means to shoot anybody), but it's not the best way to run a society by far.  What I'm trying to say is that while granting powers to everybody in advance is generous, the maturity to wheel these powers in a fair way must be proven. By introducing community feedback this assessment process can be automatized. The IPA symbol for the labiodental flap (ⱱ) Does the new guidance on duplicate questions suggest closing a question as duplicate, if the original answers the OP's question? In other words, should we now look at the content of the answers when we are evaluating questions for possible duplication?  Is it sufficient to say "Your answer can be found in this question over here, therefore your question is a duplicate?"  The new guidance is here:    Among other things, it describes the new close banner:     This question already has an answer here:   Link to the Duplicate Question   ... which seems to suggest that, if some other question in the system answers the OP's question, then the OP's question can be closed as a duplicate on that basis (even if the question itself is not necessarily duplicated).  Example Here:    Note the comments below the question, where I dispute the assertion made there that it is a duplicate question.  The original question doesn't mention unit testing. Integrating Factor Method. Why Can We Set the Constant of Integration to Zero? My textbook gives a demonstration of the use of the integrating factor method for solving first order ordinary differential equations:  $\dfrac{dx}{dt} + p(t)x = r(t)$  $\implies g(t)\dfrac{dx}{dt} + g(t)p(t)x = g(t)r(t)$  $\dfrac{d}{dt}[g(t)x]$  We use the product rule and compare the expression to the left-hand side of the above equation:  $g(t)\dfrac{dx}{dt} + \dfrac{dg}{dt}x = g(t)\dfrac{dx}{dt}+g(t)p(t)x$  $\therefore \dfrac{dg}{dt} = g(t)p(t)$  The above equation is separable.  $\therefore \int\dfrac{dg}{g(t)} = \int p(t) dt$  $\implies ln[g(t)] = \int p(t)dt$  My textbook then says that, "We can set the constant of integration to zero -- any function that satisfies $\dfrac{dg}{dt} = g(t)p(t)$ will do for our purposes". However, it gives no explanation as to why this is the case. Why can we set the constant of integration to zero? Why is any function that satisfied $\dfrac{dg}{dt} = g(t)p(t)$ appropriate for our purposes?  I would greatly appreciate it if people could please take the time to elaborate on this. SQL query that concatenates values from duplicate rows in a single table Let's say I have a table of employees, like this:  Name     Sex     Role  Bob      M       Developer Joe      M       QA   Now, I have a problem with duplicated rows in this table. I will fix it sometime but it's not the issue. What I currently need is something that queries such a table:  Name     Sex     Role  Bob      M       Developer Bob      M       Janitor Joe      M       QA Joe      M       CEO   And will output the following rows:  Name     Role  Bob      Developer, Janitor Joe      QA, CEO   It doesn't matter to me if the "Role" will be split to separate columns or be a single column with multiple values.  Using SQL Server 2008 if it matters. Python 3 with QGIS on Mac? HDMI/Displayport audio control for OS X What is the earliest work considered to be Science Fiction? Why is the laboratory frame energy always greater than the center of mass frame energy? I have been looking for an answer to 'Why is the laboratory frame energy always greater than the center of mass frame energy during collisions?'.  A lot of resources provided mathematical explanations. I wanted to get some perspectives in terms of physics.  Could you explain this? JavaScript equivalent to printf/String.Format I'm looking for a good JavaScript equivalent of the C/PHP printf() or for C#/Java programmers, String.Format() (IFormatProvider for .NET).  My basic requirement is a thousand separator format for numbers for now, but something that handles lots of combinations (including dates) would be good.  I realize Microsoft's  library provides a version of String.Format(), but we don't want the entire overhead of that framework.

I am told that the latter is accurate because all of the jury do not have the same opinion in the particular case. Then, how does the subject verb agreement fit in 'The jury is still out' ? I mean, 'The jury is out' would allude to a situation were the opinion on a matter is (are?) still divided. Can you help me with this inequality?  $|x-1| +|x+1| &lt;1$.  I think that it doesn't exist an $x$ that satisfies this inequality, but I'm not really convinced about my answer.
