Biografia

Dall'Accademia Militare alla battaglia di Adua
Nel 1877 ottiene l'accesso al Collegio Militare di Milano, denominato oggi Scuola Militare "Teulié".
Entrò nell'Accademia militare di Torino nel 1880 uscendone col grado di Sottotenente d'artiglieria tre anni dopo. Divenuto tenente, fu inviato in Eritrea dal 1888 al 1889. Al ritorno in Italia, nel 1890 frequentò per un biennio la Scuola di Guerra ottenendo il grado di capitano nel 1893 e facendo il suo ingresso nello Stato Maggiore dell'Esercito. Nuovamente spedito in Eritrea nel 1896, in occasione della campagna d'Africa Orientale prese parte alla battaglia di Adua.

In Estremo Oriente
Il Capo di Stato Maggiore Tancredi Saletta lo scelse nel 1903 come addetto militare straordinario presso Tokyo con il compito di seguire l'imminente guerra russo-giapponese e, una volta terminato il conflitto, lo assegnò in pianta stabile al ruolo di addetto militare a Tokyo e Pechino fino al 1911

Caviglia, nel corso della sua permanenza in Asia, venne nominato tenente colonnello ed aiutante onorario di campo del Re (1908), mentre sviluppò un grande interesse verso le civiltà locali, dedicando ad esse anche una produzione saggistica.

La prima guerra mondiale

Trascorso nel 1912 un breve periodo in Libia, da incaricato delle trattative per lo sgombero delle truppe turche e la pacificazione di Arabi e Berberi alla fine della guerra italo-turca, entrò da vice direttore all'Istituto Geografico Militare di Firenze l'anno dopo e nel 1914 diventò colonnello.

Nell'estate 1915, poco dopo lo scoppio della prima guerra mondiale, ottenne il grado di maggior generale. Con la Brigata Bari combatté sul Carso e in Trentino affrontando l'offensiva austriaca del 1916 e guadagnando la Croce di Cavaliere dell'Ordine Militare di Savoia.

Nel giugno del 1917 fu promosso generale di corpo d'armata per meriti di guerra e il mese successivo, al comando del XXIV Corpo d'armata, ottenne un'importante vittoria nella battaglia della Bainsizza, che però fu limitata negli effetti da problemi logistici. Nel corso della battaglia di Caporetto il suo reparto fu solo marginalmente interessato dall'attacco degli eserciti degli Imperi Centrali. Caviglia riuscì ad evitare la cattura, oltre che delle proprie, anche di altre truppe tra cui tre divisioni precedentemente agli ordini di Pietro Badoglio, conducendole dall'Isonzo al Tagliamento e quindi sul Piave. Per il suo comportamento durante la ritirata e la precedente difesa proprio sull'Isonzo ricevette la Medaglia d'Argento al Valor Militare. Tuttavia lo stesso Badoglio, nel frattempo promosso Sottocapo di Stato Maggiore dell'Esercito, sciolse il Corpo d'armata di Caviglia per ricostituire gli organici del proprio. Caviglia, nel suo libro sulla Prima guerra mondiale intitolato La dodicesima battaglia: Caporetto criticò molto duramente questa ed altre decisioni prese da Badoglio.

Nel gennaio 1918 fu nominato Membro supplente del Consiglio dell'Ordine Militare di Savoia e successivamente comandò l'artiglieria che, a partire dal giugno di quell'anno, combatté sull'altopiano di Asiago e in seguito sul Piave. Alla guida, ottenuta per meriti di guerra, dell'8ª Armata svolse un ruolo fondamentale nella risolutiva battaglia di Vittorio Veneto.

Conclusesi le ostilità re Giorgio V del Regno Unito lo ordinò Commendatore dell'Ordine del Bagno ed acquisì il titolo di Sir.

Il dopoguerra, Fiume e il fascismo
Nell'immediato dopoguerra (1919) Caviglia fu nominato Senatore del Regno, ricoprì l'incarico di Ministro della Guerra nel primo governo Orlando e ricevette l'onorificenza di Cavaliere di Gran Croce dell'Ordine Militare di Savoia.

In conseguenza del protrarsi dell'occupazione iniziata il 12 settembre da parte di nazionalisti italiani guidati da Gabriele d'Annunzio della città di Fiume, l'allora Presidente del Consiglio Francesco Saverio Nitti designò Caviglia, già comandante dell'8ª Armata, commissario straordinario per la Venezia Giulia subentrando in questa funzione a Badoglio.

Quando nel 1920 fece ritorno al governo Giovanni Giolitti e fu concluso il Trattato di Rapallo, la successiva dichiarazione di guerra da parte dei legionari all'Italia ebbe come risposta prima un bombardamento e poi l'attacco della città da parte delle truppe agli ordini di Caviglia a partire dal 24 dicembre. Le operazioni si conclusero il 31 con la resa degli occupanti, e la concomitanza di scontri armati con le festività natalizie vide d'Annunzio definire quei giorni Natale di sangue.

Accusato dai nazionalisti per i fatti accaduti a Fiume, si difese affermando di non essere stato informato in maniera corretta da Giolitti sulle concessioni verso la Jugoslavia. Tale punto di vista verrà sviluppato nel suo libro Il conflitto di Fiume, la cui stampa sarà impedita dal regime fascista nel 1925 e che non avverrà che postuma, nel 1948, in una versione rimaneggiata dallo stesso generale.

Nei confronti del fascismo, dopo un'adesione sostanziale, ma priva di esplicite prese di posizione, dichiarò nel 1924 il ritiro del suo consenso non verso quelle da lui definite "le idee originali del fascismo", quanto sugli sviluppi seguenti e tale orientamento si concretizzò nella non conferma della fiducia al governo Mussolini.

Assieme ad altri generali, con l'eccezione di Badoglio, Caviglia si allontanò allora dalla scena politica.

Nel 1926 Mussolini gli conferì il grado di maresciallo d'Italia e nel 1930 il re Vittorio Emanuele III lo investì Cavaliere dell'Ordine Supremo della Santissima Annunziata. L'ultimo incarico ricevuto fu un'ispezione sulle Alpi nel 1939.

L'armistizio e gli ultimi giorni

Secondo quanto affermato nel suo Diario, nelle note relative ai giorni tra l'8 settembre 1943 ed il 10 di quel mese, Caviglia giunse nella capitale per "affari privati" la mattina dell'8 e chiese al generale Campanari di ottenere udienza presso il Re, che chiese, se non si fosse trattato di questioni urgenti, di fissare l'udienza al giorno 9. Alle ore nove della data prevista per l'incontro fu Campanari stesso a contattare Caviglia avvisandolo di aver trovato il Quirinale abbandonato e lo invitò a incontrarsi nella piazza antistante.

Nonostante fossero iniziati già scontri tra reparti italiani e tedeschi, le grandi difficoltà organizzative e quelle prospettatesi nella possibilità di difendere Roma condussero Caviglia ad accettare l'ultimatum imposto da Albert Kesselring il 10 settembre 1943 che dispose il disarmo delle truppe e la dichiarazione della capitale come città aperta. Celebri le parole usate da Caviglia a colloquio col feldmaresciallo tedesco, il 13 settembre: "Voi vedete com'è ridotta l'Italia: come Cristo alla colonna. Su di essa tutti possono sputare o schiaffeggiarla e batterla".

Quando si costituì la Repubblica Sociale Italiana, Mussolini pensò di nominarlo capo dell'esercito repubblicano ma Pavolini e Buffarini Guidi gli fecero notare che era troppo anziano per un incarico così gravoso ed il Duce cambiò rapidamente idea. Caviglia fece ritorno a Finale Ligure, dove morì poco prima di un mese dalla fine dei combattimenti e fu sepolto nella basilica di San Giovanni Battista in Finale Ligure Marina. La salma fu trasferita nel 1952 nella torre di Capo San Donato (in cui è sepolta anche la figlia).

Jameis Winston Has $7 Million Opportunity After Winning New Orleans Saints Starting Quarterback Job
The New Orleans Saints have hired Jameis Winston as their new starting quarterback. Winston will be paid $7 million over the next three years, which is a hefty sum for a player who has never played in an NFL game before.
The new orleans saints roster is the official list of players on the New Orleans Saints. Jameis Winston has a $7 million opportunity after winning the starting quarterback job in the NFL.
The New Orleans Saints have finally put a stop to the needless speculation over who would start as quarterback for the 2021 season. After defeating Taysom Hill, the club has selected Jameis Winston as the starting quarterback for Week 1.
The Saints are in his second season with the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback. In 2021, he will have the chance to make more money as the main actor.
Jameis Winston's deal includes incentives of up to $7 million.
This season, Jameis Winston has up to $7 million in incentives available, which are based on a number of variables such as playing time, passing statistics, and team performance. Today, his route to those different motivations became more apparent.
August 27, 2021 — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter)
In 2020, Winston only played in four games and attempted 11 passes. In the offseason, he re-signed with the Saints on a one-year contract for $5.5 million in base pay. The deal also contains certain performance-based incentives for the 27-year-old.
Winston will earn an extra $500,000 if he plays 70% of the regular season snaps and the Saints reach the playoffs. He'll be relying on his offensive line to bring in an extra $500,000. He'll profit if he plays 70% of the snaps and the Saints rank in the top five in sacks allowed.
Any passer rating of over 93.0 and a completion percentage of 65 percent or higher on a minimum of 224 attempts would win the Florida State product $500,000.
His throwing yardage and touchdown totals are also included into the deal. With 3,500 throwing yards and 25 touchdowns, he may earn up to $1 million for each.
Winston should get an extra $1 million if he improves his playing time, passing yards, or touchdowns in 2020.
Winston will be counted on by the New Orleans Saints to keep the offense dangerous.

Taysom Hill is a dual-threat running back, but it's clear that he doesn't help the Saints offense. Jameis Winston is a gunslinger, and in the post-Drew Brees era, he has a greater chance of guiding this offense.
During his six-year career, the veteran has been on a roller coaster of sorts. He passed for 19,737 yards and 121 touchdowns in five seasons as the starting quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He threw 88 interceptions on the other hand. That has been the most serious criticism leveled against him.
He clearly has the ability to move the ball downfield. The Saints' offense must be able to spread out. Michael Thomas, an All-Pro wide receiver, is out with an ankle injury and is unlikely to return until October. Even if he's healthy, his broken relationship with the franchise makes it uncertain if he'll play in New Orleans this season.
Winston's primary targets are expected to be Tre'Quan Smith and Marquez Callaway, who had a strong preseason. Smith has been hurt throughout training camp, but the club is hopeful that he will be ready for Week 1 of the season. In the preseason, Callaway has shown that he can extend the field.
According to NFL.com, Winston stated of Callaway, "I believe he's a great football player." "It's great to have teammates that view the game the same way you do and are excited to take advantage of these opportunities." The former Tennessee Volunteer seems to be forming a bond with his new quarterback.
Alvin Kamara will also benefit from the change. He's the best offensive player on the team. With a quarterback who can complete all of the necessary passes, Sean Payton can be more creative in his approach to getting Kamara the ball.
The Saints have a chance to make the playoffs if Jameis Winston can lead them there.
The Buccaneers, led by Tom Brady, are the reigning Super Bowl winners and the favorites to win the NFC again in 2021. That doesn't rule out the possibility of the Saints making the playoffs.
When Winston takes over as quarterback instead of Taysom Hill, the offense's potential skyrockets. He'll be taking over a tried-and-true attacking scheme, albeit one that lacks the complete arsenal of weaponry. Hopefully, his mental blunders are a thing of the past. If Michael Thomas returns to the Saints and regains his form, this offense's potential is limitless.
Once again, the Saints defense should be tough. Trey Hendrickson, Janoris Jenkins, and Sheldon Rankins were among the notable players that left the team in 2020. On the other hand, New Orleans still has enough skill on that side of the ball to keep them competitive. Cameron Jordan, Demario Davis, Malcolm Jenkins, and Marshon Lattimore are all back on defense.
The New Orleans Saints have a chance to make the playoffs in 2021 if Jameis Winston continues to play well.

SBI Ripple Asia is shaping a consortium that will look into the utilization of dispersed record innovation in securities items. As indicated by a declaration, the organization – a joint venture between Japanese investment firm SBI and San Francisco-based DLT installment startup Ripple – said the new consortium will see joint endeavors from 18 securities firms to look into and popularize utilizations of rising innovations, especially DLT, to enhance productivity for clients, while decreasing operational cost.
Eminent firms that will taking a piece of the activities include SBI Securities, Daiwa Securities, and Nomura Securities. Likewise, SBI Ripple Asia said that the consortium will frame a DLT Advanced Experiment Working Group to advance its examination on blockchain. The move comes as the most recent activity by SBI Ripple Asia to drive the utilization of blockchain applications inside more monetary administrations. After all, SBI Ripple Asia reported an effective pilot last March with 47 banks that utilized Ripple's innovation for interbank exchanges.
Meanwhile, digital currency costs are in wide decline at the beginning of this week, as anxiousness reach out into Asian markets. A brief timeframe prior, Markets Insider indicated Bitcoin exchanging back under $US 10,000 at a two-month low. Costs have risen somewhat from a low amount of under $US 9,800, while a brief timeframe back the Ripple XRP token was exchanging at around $US 1.07 — down from a high of $ 3.315 on January 4.
Earlier today, Facebook declared that it would boycott all advertisements for bitcoin, digital currencies, and initial coin offerings (ICOs). Also, the US Securities and Exchange Commission close down a $US600 million ICO in Texas overnight, asserting it was a trick.
All of these troubling developments hasn't faltered the trust of many cryptocurrency users in the potential of bitcoin. However, the holding of assets have increased and is being attributed as one of the main causes of the recent price decline.

Adoption in Maryland
As of July 2015, there were 4,837 children in Out-of-Home Placement in Maryland and 243 of these children were legally free with a plan of adoption.
Adoptive parents in Maryland can be single, married, or part of a same sex couple. They can or cannot have parenting experience. They don't have to be wealthy but need to have sufficient financial resources to provide adequate care for a child and to meet the family's financial responsibilities. Families can own their home or they can be renters.
The minimum age required for prospective parents is 21. There is no maximum age, although many agencies prefer to keep no more than a 45-year difference between the child and the younger parent.
According to state regulations, people interested in adoption or foster care must attend a mandatory 27 pre-service training to learn about resources available to assist adoptive families.
Also, parents considering a domestic adoption don't have to be a U.S. citizen but they must be a legal resident in the country.
Foster care in Maryland
All potential foster parents must meet the following basic approval requirements set by the state:
Applicants must be 21 years of age.
Applicants may be single or married.
Applicants may live in own apartment or house.
Applicants are fingerprinted for a criminal background check.
Every member of the household 18 years or older must be fingerprinted for a criminal background check.

Where do you need the singing instructor?
My main goal is to help students get everything out of a music lesson that they are looking for! :) I enjoy working with students of all ages, though most of my current students are kids ranging from 5-18. Anything a student wants to learn about singing, playing piano, music theory, or audio engineering and production, I am happy to build into our time together. The DAWs I know best are Logic and ProTools.
I've accumulated decades of learning techniques that I've used myself and for my students. Playing an instrument requires talent, like so many other things, but we must remember that it requires 99% skill. Talent is something you have. Skills are something you learn.
Our work stands out from others because we have a very personal approach to teaching music. We like to get to know the student's needs and personality before placing with a teacher.
Orange County Music School: Piano, Guitar, Voice, Violin.
I have been teaching music for over five years. I studied Music Education on a voice scholarship at Grand Canyon University. I have been singing for over 18 years and playing piano for over 15 years. I was named best vocalist in my high school choir.
22 years of teaching and performing experience! Common sense and simple technique guarantees success. Consistency and kindness from a teacher who is knowledgeable and experienced. We work on the basics of voice control, breathing, soaring high note technique, diction, your break and performance, music theory and sight singing see:Yelp reviews for the California Guitar Academy, Downey,Ca.

Man charged over exorcism ceremony after his wife's parents were said to have cursed him with black magic
by Margaret Scheikowski
Australian AP
https://www.meforum.org/islamist-watch/56635/man-charged-over-exorcism-ceremony-after-his-wife
A crying man told a police officer "they did some voodoo to me" after he was found with numerous red circle marks on his torso, a Sydney jury has been told.
Constable James Dunn said he was called to a Sydney house in late 2016 where he saw a crying and shaking woman who said her husband was upstairs being held down and read the Koran.
The man's grandfather told him he believed black magic had been performed on his grandson and he was being checked out to see if he was possessed.
Const Dunn was giving evidence on Wednesday at the District Court trial of spiritual healer Riza Morinaj who has pleaded not guilty to kidnapping in company occasioning actual bodily harm.


Firefighters battling two fires in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains had more to contend with than just flames Monday, with triple-digit temperatures exacerbating conditions for the first responders.
At 3 p.m., the National Weather Service posted highs of 108 degrees in Duarte and 106 degrees in Azusa, the two cities closest to the fires.
The Reservoir fire began in San Gabriel Canyon near Morris Dam early Monday, when a car plunged off Highway 39 and caught fire. One person died in the crash, according to Capt. Keith Mora of the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
A second fire, called the Fish fire, erupted soon after. Altogether, the two fires charred 4,500 acres by 9 p.m. with zero containment.
Hundreds of firefighters and workers with the U.S. Forest Service trekked into the foothills to try to contain the spread of the fires, but the intense heat made things extremely difficult.
The tinder-dry hillsides, sapped by drought and turned into kindling by the heat, were consumed in walls of flames, threatening the surrounding single-family neighborhoods in both cities and forcing hundreds of homes to be evacuated.
High winds fanned the flames, and rocky terrain made moving around the hillside challenging, Los Angeles County Fire Inspector Gustavo Medina said.
One L.A. County sheriff's deputy was taken to the hospital for heat exhaustion, according to Medina, who was stationed at the National Guard post in Azusa on West Sierra Madre Avenue. The post had been turned into a temporary command center for the multiple public safety agencies fighting the Fish fire.
The L.A. County fire and sheriff's departments, the U.S. Forest Service and the Azusa Police Department all assisted in the emergency response to the fires. Police departments from nearby cities also sent officers to help.
By around 4 p.m., some of the fire crews that went out in the morning were still in the hills fighting fires, Medina said. He added that the departments were trying to cycle more of the crews out to get some rest. He said the heat was posing a challenge to the crews that were still working.
"Hydrating is paramount," Medina said.
Smoke from the fires could be seen from nearly every part of the L.A. area for much of Monday.
Wind blew the smoke from the twin brush fires eastward Monday afternoon, fouling the air and prompting a smoke advisory from the South Coast Air Quality Management District for the east San Gabriel Valley, the Pomona and Walnut valleys, the city of Riverside, the San Bernardino Valley, Big Bear Lake and the San Gabriel Mountains.
Residents were advised to avoid vigorous outdoor or indoor exertion. Those with respiratory ailments, the elderly and children should remain indoors and run air conditioners, according to the air pollution district.
Cooler weather on Tuesday could bring some relief to the fire crews.
An onshore flow of air packing subtropical moisture will lower scorching temperatures as much as 10 degrees across the region, according to the NWS. An excessive heat warning was to end Monday night. On Tuesday, the San Gabriel Valley will reach the low to mid-90s.
Humidity levels were expected to rise in the inland valleys from about 5 to 10 percent on Monday to 25 percent Monday night. Humidity on Tuesday will reach 30 percent, slightly better weather for fighting fires.
"Some relief is coming," said Stuart Seto, weather specialist with the NWS in Oxnard. "The high is moving away and is weakening, so you'll get some clouds moving in and those will combine to create cooler temperatures," he said.
There is also a red-flag warning out for the mountains of Los Angeles County — including the eastern San Gabriels — through Tuesday evening, Seto said.
The cooling trend is expected to continue through Thursday and Friday, Seto said, then the inland valleys will begin seeing warmer temperatures this weekend as another high pressure system moves in.

Q: What constitutes 'no activity' for power-saving modes? Does anyone know what conditions have to occur for Windows to keep a PC out of power-saving actions such as monitor/disk shut-down, hibernation, etc?
I want to run a build script which could take a while, when I leave, and have the PC shut down after it ends but not risk hibernating part-way through.

A: Normally "activity" means input from keyboard or mouse. Depending a a variety of things, such as how the driver is written, some other forms of input may also be considered to be activity. Things like disk I/O is not activity in this context. There are a number of ways to fool the OS into thinking there is activity but it is ussually simpler to just disable hibernation temporarily and have your build script call for a shutdown when it's done. You can use shutdown.exe for that.

Le Melbourne City Women Football Club est la section féminine du Melbourne City FC, basé à Melbourne en Australie. Il évolue en W-League, la première division australienne.

Histoire
Après le rachat du Melbourne Heart par le City Football Group, propriétaire de Manchester City, en 2015, le club australien cherche à créer une section féminine pour participer à la W-League. Melbourne City fait ses débuts dans la compétition lors de la saison 2015-2016. Après un recrutement ambitieux puisant dans les joueuses de la sélection australienne (Lisa De Vanna et Steph Catley notamment), le club finit la saison régulière invaincu et remporte les play-offs.

Lors des deux saisons suivantes, le club finit  de la saison régulière mais remporte les play-offs, établissant un record de trois titres consécutifs en W-League. En 2018-2019, Melbourne City échoue à la , manquant la qualification pour les play-offs et laissant le rival Melbourne Victory représenter l'Australie à la première édition du Championnat des clubs de l'AFC.

La saison 2019-2020 voit le club rééditer sa performance de 2015-2016 en finissant invaincu et en gagnant un quatrième titre record, malgré une saison tronquée et une finale à huis-clos à cause de la pandémie de Covid-19.

En 2021, le club déménage progressivement de Casey (au nord de Melbourne) à Mont Dandenong (au sud-ouest), pour trouver un nouveau public et s'éloigner géographiquement du Melbourne Victory.

L'appartenance du club au City Football Group facilite les prêts de joueuses et l'organisation de matches amicaux entre Melbourne City et Manchester City.

Genomics: Barley genome cracked
The sequence of the barley genome is reported in this week's Nature. A notable and long-awaited community resource for cereal genetics and genomics, the genome will provide vital information for researchers who seek to improve and modify barley through breeding.
One of the first grains to be cultivated, today barley is a major cereal crop, widely grown in temperate regions. However, 80% of the barley genome consists of repetitive sequences and other features that make it hard to sequence.
Nils Stein and colleagues used a combined approach, including shotgun sequencing and a new method using chromosome-scale scaffolding, to produce a high-quality reference genome. This represents the first high-quality reference genome for a member of the Triticeae tribe - the group of plants that includes wheat and rye. To explore how the genome could be exploited for breeding, the authors sequenced and compared gene-coding regions of 96 European elite barley lines, characterized genetic diversity and identified regions showing signatures of intense selection, which may reflect breeding to produce different characteristics, such as for the production of malting versus feed barley.

5.6 x 4.1 x 3.2 in.
The Sony A77 II hits most things right on target for a solid, high-performance, enthusiast-level DSLR. The image quality is very good, especially at lower ISOs and at higher ISOs from RAW, burst shooting performance is top-notch, and single-shot AF is blazingly fast. Unfortunately, for one of its biggest selling points -- continuous autofocus performance -- the camera stumbles somewhat when it comes to capturing fast action and other moving subjects, which is quite unfortunate for a high-framerate, seemingly high-performance flagship APS-C camera.
Excellent image quality, especially lower ISOs; Improved high ISO performance when using RAW; Very good dynamic range; High-resolution images; Very fast single-shot autofocus; 12fps burst mode with C-AF; Good value for its class.
Lackluster continuous AF performance; Strong NR processing in high ISO JPEGs; Sluggish buffer clearing; Short battery life compared to most DSLRs; Joystick control easy to press accidentally.
Available from June 2014, the Sony A77 II debuted with pricing at US$1,200 body-only, or US$1,800 with a Sony DT 16-50mm F2.8 SSM constant-aperture zoom lens. Current body-only and kit pricing have dropped recently by about US$300.
The Sony A77 II provides an upgrade pretty much across the board compared to the original "Mark I" model, especially with regards to the sensor, image processor and autofocus system. The A77 II keeps the same 24-megapixel resolution as the original A77, but the Mark II borrows the updated, well-regarded sensor from the Sony A6000. Coupled with a faster BIONZ X image processor, the newer model has a wider ISO range up to ISO 25,600.
The A77 II gets a substantial upgrade to its autofocus system, going from 19 points to a whopping 79, which cover about 40% of the frame. Couple that with some blazing performance specs, including a special 12fps continuous burst mode with continuous AF, and the A77 II is shaping up to be very well-rounded camera, with a particular nod to sports and action photographers.
So, how does the Sony A77 II perform? We've completed our full review of this flagship A-mount APS-C camera, and the results are rather interesting. To get the lay of the land with regard to all of the A77 II's new features and technological prowess, head over to our Tech Info section first, or you can jump right into John Shafer's in-depth hands-on Field Test. Of course, we put the camera through the paces here at IR as well, so check out our Optics, Exposure and Performance test results, as well as our Image Comparisons and Print Quality Analysis. And of course, for our IR verdict, jump over to our Sony A77 II Conclusion for our final thoughts.
Pro-like DSLR with image quality & features to rival the competition.
Let me start this report by disclosing that I'm a long-time Canon SLR owner. I've been using Canon EOS SLR cameras since the mid-nineties. However, I'm also a big Sony fan. I love their out-of-the-box approach to camera design -- especially the SLT camera family, to which the new A77 Mark II DSLR belongs. I like it so much I was considering buying an A77 II, sight-unseen, to replace my Canon EOS 7D. The second-gen A77 features and specs make it look like an excellent replacement for my aging EOS 7D. The A77 II is a serious threat to non-Canon APS-C DSLR owners as well. With a crazy fast 12 frames per second burst rate, more AF points than any other DSLR (79), and improved continuous autofocus performance, it looks like an excellent choice for amateur sports shooters and professional action sports photographers on a budget. So when Imaging Resource offered me the opportunity to do an A77 II Field Test, how could I say no? A free test ride before I spend my hard-earned money? Yes, please!
Great performance, but does it hit the mark on continuous AF?
Introduction. When I first saw Sony's Alpha A77 Mark II announcement, I thought it might finally be time to invest in a Sony DSLR system. I've been a big fan of their camera design and features for a long time, but there hadn't really been a camera that was a good fit for me -- until now. The A77 II looked like it was designed just for me -- an original Canon EOS 7D owner looking for better image quality, more speed, better video quality, and unique Sony features like an electronic viewfinder and sensor-shift image stabilization.
Speed, autofocus & Action Performance. With an updated autofocus system and lots of horsepower, the Sony Alpha A77 Mark II looks like an action shooter's dream camera. That's especially true for those of us who don't have a budget for $5000+ cameras like the Canon EOS 1D X and Nikon D4s. We can't all drive Ferraris, though - the rest of us need something more along the lines of a Subaru WRX -- an affordable, working man's performance car. Like the WRX, the A77 Mark II offers more performance than most of us actually need, in a very affordable, user-friendly package. There's no doubt the A77 II is a heck of a camera, but is it enough to compete with other cameras in the same category?
Does the A77 II have what it takes to be a killer sport/action camera?
We've prepared crops from our laboratory Still Life target comparing the Sony A77 II against the Sony A77, Canon 70D, Fujifilm X-T1, Nikon D7100 and Pentax K-3. All of these models sit at relatively similar price points and/or categories in their respective product lineups. The only exception might be the Canon 70D, which sits below Canon's current flagship APS-C DSLR, the 7D. We chose the 70D in this comparison, however, due to its newer, high-resolution sensor and updated image processor.
Read our Image Quality Comparison!
The updated Sony A77 II is an impressive camera when it comes to print quality and resolution, especially at lower ISOs. At expanded ISO 50 and base ISO 100, the A77 II's 24.3MP APS-C sensor is able to produce prints all the way up to 36 x 48 inches and wall-mountable at 40 x 60. With a very high amount of fine detail and fantastic color reproduction, the prints at these low ISOs are excellent. Even at mid-range higher ISOs, like 1600, the A77 II produces a very good 16 x 20, and while the default level of noise reduction is quite strong and visible primarily in the shadow areas, it works very well as removing noise, while leaving most of the fine detail intact, especially high-contrast fine detail. It's only at very high ISOs levels that noise and heavy NR take their toll on fine detail, making ISO 12,800 the maximum sensitivity with an acceptable print at 4 x 6 inches.
Read about the Sony A77 II's Print Quality to see how large it can print at each ISO!
Record-breaking autofocus. And my, what upgrades they are! From its previous 19-point autofocus sensor, the Sony A77 II has jumped to a record-breaking 79 autofocus points. No other dedicated AF sensor to date has offered this many autofocus points, and Sony is quick to point out that they span around 40% of the image frame, providing more coverage than in many competitors.
Of these 79 points, a total of 15 points are cross-types. Of these, only the center point works up to f/2.8. The new sensor is also more sensitive than before, able to work within a range of -2 to 18EV, where the A77's sensor stopped at -1EV. We're guessing the absence of a dedicated AF assist lamp is a mark of Sony's confidence in that figure, but if you do need to help things out, you can raise the built-in, popup strobe for a burst of assist flash.
Click to read detailed technical information!
The Sony A77 II provides an upgrade pretty much across the board compared to the original "Mark I" model, especially with regards to the sensor, image processor and autofocus system. Other tweaks and improvements include an improved EVF, higher-res multi-angled rear LCD and built-in Wi-Fi & NFC.
With regards to the APS-C sensor, the A77 II keeps the same 24-megapixel resolution as the original A77, but the Mark II borrows the updated, well-regarded version from the Sony A6000. Coupled with a faster BIONZ X image processor, the newer model has a wider ISO range up to ISO 25,600. In our testing, we found the image quality is excellent at lower ISOs, displaying a noticeable improvement over its predecessor. High ISO image quality is also visibly improved especially if you shoot RAW, however we felt the default high ISO noise reduction applied to in-camera JPEGs is still too heavy-handed.

James "Jim" Newberry, Jr., BOCP, BOCO, BOCPD, longtime practitioner and Board member for the Board of Certification/Accreditation (BOC), passed away on June 27, 2016.
Newberry began his career as an orthotist/prosthetist while serving in the United States Air Force after he graduated from New York University. Following his military service, he joined Mahnke's Orthotics and Prosthetics in Oakland Park, Florida, where he spent more than 40 years as owner, practitioner, and director of orthotics/prosthetics.
Having trained a multitude of orthotists, prosthetists, and technicians, he was well-known and highly respected in the field of O&P. He provided orthoses for athletes of all ages, including the Miami Dolphins, and supplied prop orthotics for Tom Selleck in the 1992 movie "Folks," which was filmed in Boca Raton, FL. Newberry's longtime passion was improving the lives of children by providing them with scoliosis orthoses, prosthetic limbs, and cranial remolding helmets. He also established four pediatric orthopedic clinics. In his free time, Newberry enjoyed boating, fishing, scuba diving, and snow-skiing, and volunteered as a youth counselor for his local church.
For more than 30 years Newberry served BOC in numerous capacities. He held many leadership positions for the BOC Board of Directors, including Chair, and was Interim Executive Director after the retirement of BOC's founder, Donald O. Fedder, DrPH, MPH, BSP, FAPhA. Newberry was a facility accreditation site surveyor, a video practical exam reviewer, and a test development volunteer for BOC's orthotist, prosthetist, and pedorthist exams.
Newberry also taught courses on therapeutic diabetic shoes, negative casting, anatomy, and gait analysis at many schools throughout the United States. A sought-after speaker, Newberry delivered presentations at events hosted by the American Orthotic & Prosthetic Association (AOPA), the Florida Association of Orthotists & Prosthetists (FAOP), the Pedorthic Footcare Association (PFA), and Medtrade.
Newberry was certified by BOC since 1984, when the organization was founded. As part of BOC's 30th anniversary celebration in 2014, Newberry was honored for his 30 years as a BOC certificant. In 2015 he was named to the "O&P News 175," a group of innovators in the field of orthotics and prosthetics.
Newberry is survived by his wife of 45 years, Lynnene; daughters Toni Lynn Frallicciardi (Uli), Jodi Licudine (Tony), and Paige Newberry; and grandchildren Zion, Kaya, and Eden Frallicciardi.
There will be a celebration of Newberry's life on Saturday, July 23. Services will be held at Christ Church United Methodist, 4845 NE 25th Avenue, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33308 at 2:00 PM, followed by a celebration at McDougald House, 450 NE 10th Street, Pompano Beach, Florida 33061, 4:00-7:00 PM.
The family asks that friends email their photos and stories of Newberry to frallicciardi@comcast.net; in lieu of flowers, they have suggested donations to Holy Cross Hospital's Neurological Department to research and treat Glioblastoma or to Vitas Hospice, whose caregivers were supportive and caring during the last few months of Newberry's life.

Highway 18 to be upgraded next year
November 22, 2018 Headline News
Change to A1 Unrestricted rating would reduce municipal road damage: mayor
BY KIM LANGEN
It may not be exactly what the mayor ordered, but it will mark a big improvement when it comes to battered roads and hammered taxpayer dollars.
Rick Pauls, mayor for the Municipality of Killarney-Turtle Mountain, said he heard from the offices of Manitoba Infrastructure on Wednesday that plans are afoot to finally improve conditions on the well-travelled Highway 18, going north from town.
"I have been contacted by the department, and they have told me that next year they are going to grind the highway right down to the base," said Pauls. "And then they are repairing it. It will become an A1 Unrestricted road."
Pauls said he had been told that the tenders were going out soon for the much-anticipated highway work.
"It's going for tender, and tenders close in March of 2019, for work to be done in that year," he said.
The repaving project would include Hwy. 18 starting at the north limit of town, near the Manitoba Hydro office and the HyLife Feed Mill, and extend to the northern junction of Hwy. 23.
Manitoba Infrastructure, in its Fall 2018 Advertising Schedule for Construction and Material Supply Tenders, describes the work slated for Hwy. 18 as 'Bituminous Rehabilitation.'
The municipality has been lobbying hard for years for an RTAC-rated highway improvement project, but this was still good news, said Pauls, because it will help keep the heavy trucks and trailers off the municipal roads when spring weight restrictions come into force each year.
"We wanted the restrictions off," he said. "This is big news. It will save us huge tax dollars when it comes to maintaining our municipal gravel roads. It won't have the RTAC rating, which just means it will be a little narrower."
FROM HYLIFE TO HIGHWAY 23 – Highway 18, from HyLife (right) and Hydro (left), will be ground down to the gravel base and repaved all the way up to the Highway 23 junction, says Manitoba Infrastructure. The stretch of highway will be changed to A1 Unrestricted when finished.

In the past, it was thought that those women that had higher dense breast tissue would have an increased risk of cancer. This consideration is due to the fact that a typical mammogram might not be able to detect a potential tumor due to the breast tissue density.
A recent study done by the National Cancer Institute is showing that the higher density of breast tissue is not showing a higher risk of cancer, as compared to those with lower breast tissue density. This is good news for the forty percent of women who get mammograms and have high density breasts. The study included approximately 9,000 women that had breast cancer to determine if density played any important role in detection. The ten minute mammogram process remains the best screening for catching potential tumors and lower the risk of breast cancer.

Inder Loves Folk Art: Blouse: Colette Violet.
I finished this blouse, using the Violet pattern from Colette Patterns, just in time to wear it to a small birthday celebration for Joe yesterday. For my first try at a new pattern, I'm really, really pleased with it.
Blousy and tucked into a skirt.
I took a chance with the contrasting collar and sleeve binding, and it's funky, but I like it! Everything in this blouse came from my stash, even the buttons.
I made it in a size 6, to fit my bust measurement, but I did have some second thoughts even at the cutting phase, knowing that this top is very blousy. When I make it again, which I definitely will, I will cut it out in a size 4. I actually really like the billowy cut, but it's a little wide in the shoulders. Also, next time I will use a softer, lighter interfacing - the collar and facings are a bit stiff (which is why it didn't press completely flat, sigh). And I wish I hadn't faced it in white - it's really noticeable around the collar. Live and learn.
But we sewists tend to dwell on the flaws, don't we? The thing is, if I found this at a thrift store, I would buy it in a heartbeat, and love it for all its flaws. So I think that's a success!
Untucked and casual for a party.
This blouse has so much potential for modifications. You could square off the collar, or even omit it. Or what about a 1930s scalloped collar? Drool.
I also like the idea of making it longer and adding a few patch pockets near the hem, like a Beatnik artists' smock.
Yes, I do believe I will get my money's worth from this pattern.


What was your exercise today?
If you want a really fun way to get your 10,000+ steps in, spend the day with your grandchildren!
Not only will you have a blast, it doesn't feel like work.

went out and bought riding shorts. tried 'em out at 10 miles(on my stationary bike) for a 34:13 finish. i like the compression fit.
Got my steps goal made by 4 PM. I'm at 16,500 right now and don't plan on that growing anymore tonight.
Had my chili for supper and then decided to put the bike on the trainer. Pedaled for about 45 minutes and now I'm calling it a night.
Cricket, glwilso8 and hftmrock like this.
i'd like to get a fluid trainer when i do.
Thats what I got. Get a good fan to blow on you too. Above 70 degrees, I work up a good sweat even with the fan. There is no coasting on a trainer.
I thought about getting a Bkool simulator. It is a trainer that adjusts the resistance as you ride, based on animated or video routes. It also plays the routes to the speed you ride. Some of the routes are free but others you pay a fee to use. Most if not all, you have to use their website to get. That's how it was a year and a half ago. Just a really cool idea and definitely more motivating sounding than just climbing on and pedaling to music or a TV program.
the 10 milers are paying off. did my 11 minute distance trial tonight and got 3.3 miles. best yet. bike has 20 levels of resistance i averaged 8. feels good. ate 4 oreos and 3/4 piece of Indian milk cake. was at 133 to start ride 14 minutes later i'm 105. what i like about this upright is it makes me do a warm down when finished. never used to do that. still have to grunt weights tonight but, i feel good. need pedometer for work, really curious how far i go at work in a day.
grunted through 28,600 lbs tonight. forgot pain could actually feel GOOD. sitting here burning. bs @96 now. drink a little coffee, call it a night.
I'm a little under 16k steps on the Fitbit but my Garmin is my official daily goal step counter, I still need about 1200 more steps to reach my goal. It is 15,060 steps for today. No doubt I will meet my goal, just wanting to do nothing for another half hour but test my BG a couple of more times (supper experiment - that would be dinner for y'all not from the south).
That moment when you suddenly realize you're gonna be finishing your 10,000+ steps in the dark so you make a quick stop for a flashlight cuz ya don't wanna go to the gym.
Having a place to check in every day (here) helps me stay accountable to myself. I am so lucky that we have this thread.

Devotees of Lonesome Dove notwithstanding, the first major cattle drive from Texas to Montana by way of the Bozeman Trail was ramrodded, not by Woodrow Call and Augustus McCrae, but by an extraordinary man named Nelson Story. An Ohioan by birth, Story—after two years of college and a brief stint as a schoolteacher—traveled to the gold fields of Montana while still in his early 20s. By 1863, he had made a modest fortune. With some of his profits, the enterprising young man bought a herd of 1,000 Texas Longhorns at $10 a head, assembled a crew of drovers (which he armed with repeating rifles), and in the spring of 1866, pointed them north.
Rather than take the conventional route to the markets of Missouri and Kansas, Story directed his herd toward Montana, where beef-starved gold miners would be only too happy to pay his prices. Looking to the future, he briefly stopped his outfit at Leavenworth, Kan., where he purchased 150 oxen and 15 wagons, and filled them with enough cloth, tools, and other items to stock a general store in the new territory.
Credit: Montana State University Nelson Story, the man who made the first major cattle drive from Texas to Montana.
It was a hellish trip. Before reaching his destination, Story and his cowboys fought off Sioux and Crow warriors, as well as Anglo cattle thieves. At one point, he defied an order from the U.S. Cavalry not to proceed, due to the Indian threat. But Story was, in the words of one chronicler, "a hard guy, a tough guy, living in tough times." He and his cattle made it through by December 1866, when he finally reached what is now Livingston, Mont. He had lost only one man.
Nelson Story was no tenderfoot. After selling his cattle for more than 10 times his cost, Story became the wealthiest man in town, and opened his planned-for general store on New Year's Day, 1867. He soon invested in a number of other local businesses, including flour mills, banks, and real estate. Within a short time, he was Bozeman's largest employer, with his flour mill complex—the largest in the territory—employing more workers than any other business for half a century. Acting as a one-man chamber of commerce, he donated the property that would become Montana State University, and generally oversaw the town's growth and development.
Credit: Bozeman Daily Chronicle A drawing of Bozeman, Montana, from 1898.
Still, Nelson Story was not always an altruistic figure. In his business dealings, he was, according to a former Bozeman city historian, "both an admirable 'captain of industry' and a despicable 'robber baron.'" In 1876, the Army accused him of defrauding the Crow nation by filling pork barrels with offal, double-counting single sacks of flour, passing off calves as fully-grown cattle, and attempting to bribe an officer. Story never stood trial, reportedly boasting about avoiding prosecution by bribing the grand jurors. He also had a terrible temper, which resulted in violence on more than one occasion. According to one reputable account, he was notorious for pistol- or cane-whipping those who incurred his wrath, and once threw a brick at his own son in anger.
For all his strengths and weaknesses, Nelson Story was a larger-than-life figure, cut to fit a frontier mold. And unceasingly, for decades, and until his death, he worked for the betterment of Bozeman.

Q: call to longjmp is causing programme to exit with code 0 on msvc 2010 I'm trying to use setjmp/longjmp for error handling, however, the call to longjmp is causing the programme to exit with code 0 when compiled using MSVC 2010, here is the full message:
The program '[5020] test.exe: Native' has exited with code 0 (0x0).

here is the code:
#include <setjmp.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
    jmp_buf env;
    switch(setjmp(env))
    {
    case 0:
        printf("normal operation\n");
        longjmp(env, -2);
        break;
    case -1:
        printf("known error\n");
        break;
    default:
        printf("Unknown error!\n");
        break;
    }
    return 0;
}

I've compiled the same code using a gnu based compiler (bfin-elf-gcc under cygwin) which worked fine. I.e.,
$ make
bfin-elf-gcc -c -Wall main.c -mcpu=bf533-any -o main.o
bfin-elf-gcc main.o -mcpu=bf533-any -msim -o bfin_test

$ bfin-elf-run.exe bfin_test
normal operation
Unknown error!

Any idea why it is not working on msvc?
Many thanks in advance,
Hasan.

A: longjmp(env, -2); triggers your default: case which prints Unknown error! and then emerges from your switch statement, where return 0; is performed. It's working exactly as you wrote it. Returning 0 from main() is essentially the same as exiting with 0. MSVC is just telling you the exit value.


A newbie on the online scene, Jester Jackpot has not been around for long, and as is always this case, this means there is an uphill battle to make an impact on this highly competitive market.
This slots based site aims to provide one of, if not the most comprehensive selection of slots available anywhere, which is certainly a way to stand out from the crowd, but quite an ask for any site.
The main theme of Jester Jackpots is, perhaps unsurprisingly, a jester. The colour scheme is simple and non-invasive, which is surprising considering how tacky the execution of this theme could be. Luckily, time has been taken to carry the theme throughout the site, while also maintaining a level of subtlety that makes it much easier to look at than it could've been.
Navigation is simple, and much of the additional design theme is made up of images from the slots available on the site.
There are slot games available here from a variety of providers including NetEnt and Barcrest, you will find many of your favourites including Starburst, South Park, and Spinata Grande, as well as the majority of new games available on, on very shortly after their release.
Casino lovers can find poker, roulette, baccarat, and poker amongst many others, and often in a verity of forms here, meaning there is pretty much something for everybody.
Having only launched in March of 2016, it is going to take some time before it becomes apparent how much noise Jester Jackpots is going to make on the online market, but it has all the right tools in all the right places with its excellent design and wide choice of games, so we may see Jester Jackpots being the name on everyone's lips in the near future.

Report: Afghan 'Popular Uprising Forces' Claim Wins Against Taliban
AHMAD SAHEL ARMAN/AFP via Getty Images
Pajhwok Afghan News reported Friday morning that "popular uprising" forces have captured three districts north of Kabul from the Taliban. Local sources said several Taliban fighters were injured in the battle.
خیزش های مردمی تحت قومندانی عبدالحمید دادگر ادعا دارند که سه ولسوالی اندراب بغلان را از طالبان گرفتند
اما طالبان درین مورد چیزی نه گفته اند. pic.twitter.com/nreRSneAdO
— Pajhwok Afghan News (@pajhwok) August 20, 2021
Hassan Sajwani of the United Arab Emirates translated the Pajhwok report into English.
Reports of Pol-e-Hesar, Deh Salah and Banu districts in #Baghlan provinces have been taken back from #Taliban by the Public's Resistance Forces, & a number of #Taliban forces were also injured as per locals / images and info via @OsintUpdates pic.twitter.com/pTKbAYypDX
— حسن سجواني Hassan Sajwani (@HSajwanization) August 20, 2021
Sajwani noted the liberation of the three districts from Taliban control was also reported by Gen. Bismillah Mohammadi, former defense minister under deposed President Ashraf Ghani. Mohammadi is operating out of Panjshir province, headquarters of the National Resistance Front of Afghanistan, an anti-Taliban coalition led by Ahmad Massoud. Mohammadi vowed to"liberate" Afghanistan from the "terrorist" Taliban after the fall of Kabul and called for the arrest of Ghani, whom he accused of "selling away the homeland."
"I am not so unscrupulous as to sit around a table with the killers of thousands of defence forces and innocent civilians and declare my support for this terrorist group," Mohammadi said Sunday.
The still-operational Afghan embassy in Tajikistan also asked Interpol to arrest Ghani on embezzlement charges after reports the former president fled before the Taliban advance with $169 million in cash.
Former Vice President Amrullah Saleh, who declared himself the rightful chief executive under the Afghan constitution after Ghani's abdication, is also in Panjshir and working as a leader of the resistance movement.
It is futile to argue with @POTUS on Afg now. Let him digest it. We d Afgs must prove tht Afgh isn't Vietnam & the Talibs aren't even remotely like Vietcong. Unlike US/NATO we hvn't lost spirit & see enormous oprtnities ahead. Useless caveats are finished. JOIN THE RESISTANCE.
— Amrullah Saleh (@AmrullahSaleh2) August 17, 2021
"I will never, ever and under no circumstances bow to the Taliban terrorists. I will never betray the soul and legacy of my hero Ahmad Shah Massoud, the commander, the legend and the guide. I won't disappoint millions who listened to me. I will never be under one ceiling with Taliban. NEVER," Saleh vowed Sunday, referring to a revered anti-Soviet resistance fighter who was murdered by the Taliban and al-Qaeda two days before 9/11.
Current resistance leader Ahmad Massoud, son of the slain "Lion of Panjshir," wrote an op-ed for the Washington Post on Wednesday in which he asked for Western assistance to fight the Taliban.
Massoud said "soldiers from the Afghan regular army who were disgusted by the surrender of their commanders and are now making their way to the hills of Panjshir with their equipment" to join his militia, including Afghan Special Forces veterans.
"We have stores of ammunition and arms that we have patiently collected since my father's time, because we knew this day might come," he said, while acknowledging his manpower and supplies will not be enough to repel an all-out Taliban assault:
The United States and its allies have left the battlefield, but America can still be a "great arsenal of democracy," as Franklin D. Roosevelt said when coming to the aid of the beleaguered British before the U.S. entry into World War II.
To that end, I entreat Afghanistan's friends in the West to intercede for us in Washington and in New York, with Congress and with the Biden administration. Intercede for us in London, where I completed my studies, and in Paris, where my father's memory was honored this spring by the naming of a pathway for him in the Champs-Élysées gardens.
Know that millions of Afghans share your values. We have fought for so long to have an open society, one where girls could become doctors, our press could report freely, our young people could dance and listen to music or attend soccer matches in the stadiums that were once used by the Taliban for public executions — and may soon be again.
"No matter what happens, my mujahedeen fighters and I will defend Panjshir as the last bastion of Afghan freedom," Massound promised. "Our morale is intact. We know from experience what awaits us. But we need more weapons, more ammunition and more supplies."
The northeastern province of Panjshir, about a hundred miles from Kabul, makes a formidable stronghold for a resistance movement. With only a single easily-defended entrance, the Panjshir River valley has never been conquered by either the Taliban or the Soviet invaders in the 1980s. The ethnic Tajik population of the valley frequently demanded autonomy from the central government in Kabul.
"The Taliban doesn't control the whole territory of Afghanistan. There are reports of the situation in the Panjshir Valley where the resistance of Afghanistan's vice president Mr. Saleh and Ahmad Massoud is concentrated," Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov acknowledged Thursday.

[3/8/17] More Details Coming From Recent Chelan County Cold Case Arrest
Posted in Law Enforcement
http://kozi.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/030817-jay-cold-case-arrests.mp3
Chelan County Sheriff, Brian Burnett, reported earlier this week that an arrest had been made in connection to a 1982 cold case, in which a Cashmere resident went missing and was never found.
On July 18, 1982, 30 year old Stephen Smith was reported by family members as a missing person. His 1966 Pontiac Tempest was found abandoned several days after his disappearance.
Last Friday, authorities arrested Bernard Swaim as a person of interest in the case. Three days later, a second arrest was made.
57 year old Dawn Soles, of Leavenworth, was arrested for first degree murder.
According to a Press Release from Chelan County Sheriff's Office, Soles was married to and had a child with the victim before their divorce. Stephen Smith was granted sole custody of their child, while Dawn Soles was given supervised visitation only.
Soles later married Bernard Swaim, and authorities believe the pair traveled to Cashmere with a plan and intent to murder Smith.
Sheriff Burnett says in this particular case, it came down to someone providing key information…
030817 Cold Case Arrests 1 :49 "…conclusion of an investigation."
Stephen Smith's remains have never been found, but, Burnett says, he is hopeful that other evidence will lead to the recovery…
030817 Cold Case Arrests 2 1:09 "…how this plays out."
When asked about other cold cases in Chelan County, Sheriff Burnett says there are a few that come to mind…

Q: Rails precompile multiple javascript_includes_tag I'm actually building a new app under Rails 4.
I used to put my javascript_includes_tag at the bottom of my layout. But for an unknown reason, it creates a bug when trying to use confirm: on delete link.
So I put back this line at the top :
!!!
%html{ :lang => 'en' }
  %head
    = stylesheet_link_tag "application", media: "all", "data-turbolinks-track" => true
    = javascript_include_tag "application", "data-turbolinks-track" => true

So far so good, the bug is now gone. Anyway, since my app is gonna use a lot of Javascript, I still need to load those third part library at the bottom. So, what I did is to only let the Rails library at the top :
// application.js
//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require turbolinks

Then I tried to create another js file named third-part and try to do the same as application but including my third part libraries. Unfortunately, it does not work.
// third-part.js
//= require bootstrap
//= require app
//= require app.plugin

How can I add another javascript_includes_tag at the bottom the same way I did for application? Here I mean that on production it will also compress those files.
Thanks a lot for your help
EDIT :
It's actually loading my files well on DEVELOPMENT, but not on my production.
On production I just got <script data-turbolinks-track="true" src="/javascripts/third-part.js"></script> and I can't access the file
I've tried :
config.assets.precompile += %w( third-part.js )

and
rake assets:precompile RAILS_ENV=production

but it still not working
EDIT 2 :
I made a test of precompliling on production mode from my local machine. It did work. It might be a problem with my server.
EDIT 3 :
Just earse my application from server and clone a new one from my Github but it's still not working. Don't know why :(

A: In your config/environments/production.rb add this line to precompile the external assets
config.assets.precompile += ["third-part.js"]

and don't forget to mention env=production while precompiling assets on production.
