Top 10 Heavyweight Boxing Champs Who Were Stripped Of The Title
Seeing a team or individual "do the impossible" and cause a massive upset is one of the most entertaining aspects of sport, and people love nothing more than seeing an underdog come out on top. Not only is it inspirational to see a team or individual overcome the odds, but it can be fantastic to see the heavy favorite taken down a peg (unless it is your team, of course). Throughout sports history there have been some astonishing upsets which have shaken the sporting world to its core and shown that with hard work and belief, anything is possible
12. Holly Holm vs. Ronda Rousey (November 2015)
The incident that inspired this article, on the 14th of November 2015, the biggest upset in UFC history occurred when Holly Holm knocked out Ronda Rousey. Rousey had been labeled the female Mike Tyson and had won her first 12 fights, with 11 of these coming in just the first round, which led many to state that she is the best female fighter ever. Going into the fight, Holm was a 22-1 underdog just a few days before, despite the fact that she was a multiple time winning champion in boxing. Nobody gave her a chance, but straight away she proved a difficult opponent with her elusive fighting style. She landed a few punches, and then just a minute into the second round, she landed a brutal knockout kick for one of the biggest upsets in sports history. This has given the sport more attention than ever before.

11. Appalachian State vs. Michigan (September 2007)
Look away now, Wolverines fans. On the 1st of September, 2007, history was made in The Big House in Ann Arbor in what has been hailed the greatest upset in college football. The Wolverines were ranked 5th in both major FBS polls and many considered them favorites to win the Big Ten and possibly the national championship. The Appalachian State Mountaineers, meanwhile, were ranked first in the FCS poll and were favorites to win their third straight FCS championship, but nobody believed that an FCS school could ever beat a ranked FBS school. Shockingly, that is exactly what happened in a truly humbling performance which finished in dramatic fashion. The Wolverines were in position to kick the game winning field goal with six seconds left, but incredibly it was blocked by Corey Lynch to secure the famous win. The following week, the story graced the cover of Sports Illustrated.

10. New England Patriots vs. St. Louis Rams (Super Bowl XXXVI)
Back in 2001/2002, the New England Patriots were just another team trying to become elite, and Tom Brady was a fresh-faced second year quarterback who began the season on the bench but got his chance and took it, helping them to an 11-5 record. The Rams had posted an NFL best record of 14-2 thanks to their spectacular offense led by QB Kurt Warner, which was labeled "The Greatest Show on Turf" and made them heavy favorites. The score was tied with 1:30 remaining, and without any timeouts, Brady stepped up and led his team down the field to set up Adam Vinatieri's game winning 48-yard field goal as time expired. Nobody believed that Brady could guide the Patriots to their first Super Bowl title, but he completed 16 of 27 for 145 yards and a touchdown—good enough for Super Bowl MVP and the start of something incredible.

9. Denver Nuggets vs. Seattle Supersonics (Round One, 1994 NBA Playoffs)
It was once believed that the 8th seed could never win a series over the conference leader, but this all changed in a historic series in the 1994 NBA playoffs. Barely managing .500 in the regular season (42-40), the Nuggets held the 8th seed in the Western conference whilst the Seattle Supersonics topped the conference with an impressive 63 wins. Powered by Shawn Kemp and Gary Payton, things seemed to be going to plan when the Sonics took a commanding 2-0 lead (series were best of 5 at the time). Then, behind the solid play of Dikembe Mutombo, the Nuggets fought back and won the next two games. In the deciding game (in Seattle), the game went to overtime before Denver won by four points to advance to the next round and become the first 8th seed to beat the #1. A lot of finger wagging was done by Mutombo.

8. New York Jets vs. Baltimore Colts (Super Bowl III)
The third ever AFL-NFL Championship game (and the first to be officially called the Super Bowl), many thought Joe Namath had lost his mind when he guaranteed that the Jets would win Super Bowl III three days before the game. The AFL was deemed inferior and had never beaten the NFL champion, and the Colts were heavily backed to continue this after posting a 13-1 record and winning the NFL championship game 34-0. Entering the game, the Jets were 18-point underdogs, but Namath and the team had belief. True to his word, Namath and his team stepped up on the big stage and took a commanding 16-0 lead into the 4th, before Baltimore scored its only touchdown in the last few minutes. Namath was named MVP after completing 17 of 28 passes for 206 yards, and "the guarantee" is now one of the most famous instances of NFL lore.

7. Greece (European Championships, 2004)
Having only ever qualified for two major tournaments (where they won zero games), and without having a single star player in their ranks, being considered underdogs was an understatement of what Greece felt as they entered Euro 2004. Prior to the tournament, they had odds of 150-1 and faced a tricky group with Portugal (hosts), Spain and Russia. They managed to scrape through after beating the hosts and drawing with Spain, and this gave them great spirit and belief as they entered the knockout stages. Astonishingly, Greece saw off France (defending champs), Czech Republic (one of the favorites) in extra time, and then stunned the world by once again beating the host nation in the final whilst conceding no goals in the knockout stages. Winning the entire tournament proved that this was no fluke, and that with great spirit, hard work, willingness and trust in your teammates you can overcome the odds and achieve anything.

6. Boston Red Sox vs. New York Yankees (ALCS, 2004)
In the 2004 ALCS, Boston had won the AL wild card, whilst the Yankees had won the AL East and posted the best record in the AL. Additionally, the Red Sox had not won the World Series since 1918, whilst the Yankees had won a staggering 26 in this time. This made Boston giant underdogs, and almost everyone started looking ahead to the World Series once the Yankees took a commanding 3-0 series lead. Then, the start of something incredible happened with the Yankees leading by one run in the 9th inning of game 4. The Red Sox tied the score and won the game in extra innings, sparking a historic comeback, as they won the next three games, which made them the first team to overcome a 3-0 lead. This included Curt Schilling's legendary blood-soaked sock in Game 6, before finishing the job in Yankee stadium. In fairytale fashion, the Red Sox went on and won the World Series.

5. Rulon Gardner vs. Alexander Karelin (Sydney Olympic Games, 2000)
It must be pretty intimidating to go up against the best wrestler in the history of Greco-Roman wrestling, and a man who hadn't lost a match in 13 years, or even surrendered a point in six years. Additionally, with nicknames such as "Russian Bear," "Russian King Kong" and "The Experiment," most would be shaking in their boots when set to face the legend that is Alexander Karelin. This was what American Rulon Gardner was up against when he reached the super-heavyweight gold match in the 2000 Sydney Olympics, making him a massive underdog against the three-time defending Olympic champion. On the biggest international stage, Gardner did what was thought impossible and defeated Karelin for the gold. He managed to score a point in the second round against the "Russian Bear," and then was able to hold on for a famous and inspirational win and the gold medal.

4. Villanova Wildcats vs. Georgetown Hoyas (NCAA championship game, 1985)
Going into the 1985 NCAA championship game, the Georgetown Hoyas were heavy favorites as the number one seed on a 17 game winning streak. The defending champs, who were coached by John Thompson, had a certain Patrick Ewing in the squad as well, making it seem all but certain that they would once again come out on top. Villanova were not given a chance as the 8th seed, but something remarkable happened after tip-off. Behind the play of Ed Pinckney and Dwayne McClain, Villanova shot a staggering 78.6% from the floor to keep pace with the Hoyas and send the game to overtime. They then outscored Georgetown by two points in OT to become the lowest-seeded team to win the tournament. Shooting an incredible 22 of 28 from the field (and missing just once in the second half), it remains the greatest shooting performances in the championship game (it is worth noting that this was before the three point line was introduced).

3. Buster Douglas vs. Mike Tyson (February 1990)
From time to time, something will happen and you will always remember where you were when it occurred. This is the case for the legendary fight between Buster Douglas and Mike Tyson, which occurred over 25 years ago but is still talked about to this day. Going into the fight, Tyson was the most feared boxer around and was the undefeated and undisputed heavyweight champ. Buster Douglas came into the fight as a 42-1 underdog and was ranked 7th heavyweight by Ring magazine thanks to mixed success. Additionally, his mother died just 23 days prior to the fight and he contracted flu on the day before. He showed no fear from the start and connected with a flurry of punches, and then stunned both the world and Tyson in the 10th by knocking him to the canvas (for the first time ever). Tyson was counted out, and history was made.

2. New York Giants vs. New England Patriots (Super Bowl XLII)
The entire sporting world was left with its jaw on the floor following Super Bowl XLII in 2007, especially because of the stunning final quarter with a Super Bowl record of three lead changes and one of the greatest plays in history. The Patriots entered with a perfect record and nobody believed that they could be beaten, with some claiming that they were the greatest team in history. This saw them start as 12-point favorites against the Giants, who were looking to become the first NFC wild card team to win a Super Bowl. The Giants miraculously spoiled the party for the Patriots, including one of the most iconic catches in history with David Tyree somehow pressing the ball against his helmet for a 32-yard gain with 1:15 remaining. They then scored the winning touchdown with 35 seconds remaining, winning by three points and crushing the Patriots's hopes of perfection.

1. Team USA vs. the Soviet Union (Winter Olympics, 1980)
Accurately dubbed "The Miracle on Ice," this is a true fairy tale story and remains the greatest upset in sports history. Going into the medal-round game during the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, New York, the Soviet Union were commanding favorites having won gold in six of the last seven Olympics and sporting a team of legendary players with excellent chemistry. The USA team, meanwhile, were led by Herb Brooks and it was a team built up entirely of amateur and collegiate players. A true "men vs. boys" matchup, the unthinkable happened as team USA trailed by one going into the final period, but then miraculously scored twice early in the third. The team brilliantly held strong for the final 10 minutes, with sportscaster Al Michaels delivering his famous line as the clock ran down—"Do you believe in miracles!?" After reading this list, yes, Al, we do.

Q: working with methods to take in strings in C I'm new to C and am having a lot of issues with arrays that keeps coming up. I'm trying to write a method that takes in a string ("1234") and returns the odd digits, however it keeps printing 49 and I don't know why? Does it have something to do with how I'm assigning the arrays?
#include <math.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int print_odd_digits(char number[100]) {
  int size = sizeof(number[100]);
  for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
    if (number[i] % 2 == 1) {
      printf("%d\n", number[i]);
    }
  }

  return 0;
}

int main(void) {
  print_odd_digits("1234");
}

A: *

*sizeof(number[100]) is equivalent to sizeof(char), which is 1. What you want seems strlen(number).

*Elements of number are not values of digits but character codes of digits. To convert number characters to values, you can subtract '0'. (character codes for 0 to 9 are defined to be continuous in C).

*%d is for printing integer and 49 is ASCII code for the character 1. Use %c to print character corresponding to passed integer.

*You may want newline only on end of the characters.

Try this:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h> /* for using strlen() */
int print_odd_digits(char number[100]) {
    int size = strlen(number);
    for(int i = 0; i < size; i++){
        if((number[i] - '0') % 2 == 1){
            printf("%c",number[i]);
        }
    }
    printf("\n");
    return 0;
}

int main(void) {
    print_odd_digits("1234");
}

A: You have a type error here. You are working with the ascii codes for the text characters for digits. You need to use the atoi(char* str)
function to convert the digits to a corresponding number and use math to determine a particular digit or loop over the characters and subtract -'0' the ascii code for the digit zero as digits are sequential.
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
        char* digit_one_str = "1";
        char digit_9 = '9';
        printf("digit one ascii value: %d\n", digit_one_str[0]); // first char in string digit one
        int number_one = atoi(digit_one_str);
        printf("digit one parsed from sttring by atoi: %d\n", number_one);
        printf("digit 9 as char converted with -'0' trick: %d", (int)(digit_9 - '0'));
}

Further it is better practice to take in a char* and a length than to work with fixed sized arrays or using strlen() where you don't actually have to. In C a string ends in a terminating '\0' character which might not even be present if the code calling your function is buggy or malicious.

Op-Ed A Tale of Two Speeches
Op-EdOp-Ed Opinion
A Tale of Two Speeches
By Rabbi Avi Shafran
Tuesday, May 1, 2018 at 9:41 pm | ט"ז אייר תשע"ח
It was the best of times
I had the honor of making two public presentations in recent days, one to second-grade students at the impressive Yeshiva Beth Yehudah in Southfield, Michigan; and the other, to students and members of the public at the University of Maryland.
The first gig was dearer to me, since the members of my audience were people not set in their ways and thus open to my message, which was about what makes kids kids and grownups grownups. (The boys shared various ideas and I, mine: Awareness of Consequences — hey, it's never too early to learn a new word.) But the class has a wonderful Rebbi and really didn't need my own input.
By contrast, the audience at the second presentation, which was sponsored by the Gildenhorn Institute for Israel Studies, included many middle-aged and older members, less open to changing their attitudes, which are largely and unfortunately detached from the Jewish mesorah. They were proud Jews, to be sure, but with an assortment of misguided notions about just what living Jewish really means.
And yet, from the sentiments conveyed by attendees who approached me after my participation in a panel discussion of whether there is a divide between American Jews and Israel, the presence of an unabashedly Orthodox participant in the day-long program was appreciated. And I am grateful to Professor Paul L. Scham, the institute's executive director, for inviting my participation. Especially since other parts of the day included a strident speech by the president of the New Israel Fund and what struck me as an attempt to upholster the deck chairs on a theological Titanic by the head of the American Reform movement.
On the panel, I attempted some humor to convince the audience that underneath my black suit (and sefirah-overgrown beard) was a normal human being. Then I made a serious case, that a connection to authentic Judaism empowers dedication to the Jewish presence in Eretz Yisrael — and that the demographics of the American Jewish community, which indicate a clear waning of non-Orthodox movements and a waxing of Orthodoxy, heralds a stronger pro-Israel future American Jewry.
And I took the opportunity to assert that the true preserver of the Jewish people, and the true ensurer of its integrity and unity is our mutual religious heritage.
In that context, I highlighted groups like Partners in Torah, and the way they non-judgmentally bond Jews through the study of traditional Jewish texts. I cited the example of my wife, who has for years studied weekly by phone with an intermarried Jewish woman in Arizona whom she has not yet met.
I knew I wouldn't likely convince those present who were long invested in Reform or secular Jewish culture. But planting seeds, I learned from my years in chinuch, is always a worthy thing. Sometimes seedlings sprout down the line.
The best part of such conferences, though, is the opportunity they present to speak with Jews whom I would otherwise not likely ever meet. I cherish those chances to engage fellow Jews very different from me in friendly conversation. (And there's always the amusement afforded by the reaction of the inevitable question about my college alma mater; when informed that I just managed to graduate high school and thereafter studied only in yeshivah, the questioner seems shocked that I speak English competently.)
The most memorable conversation I had at this particular conference was with a lady somewhat older than I and with a very serious demeanor who recounted an experience she had had over Pesach, on the street of a Florida city where she had spent the holiday.
She described how she went for a walk on the first day of Pesach, and saw a man, whom she described as "a Chassid in a big fur hat," coming toward her from the opposite direction.
"And I said to him," she told me, "'Gut yontiff.'"
My "justification mode" kicked right in and I prepared to explain to her how there are different norms in different communities, and that some Jewish men, out of tznius concerns, don't address women directly, and how, in other circumstances, surely, the gentleman would have acted differently…
But as my head was churning out the hasbarah, she continued her story, describing how the man stopped, smiled — here she imitated the man's motions — and heartily said "Gut Yom Tov! Gut Yom Tov! Gut Yom Tov!"
It was worth all the time and shlep and speeches just to hear that account.n

Woke up early and checked out all the local spots before settling with the reef down the beach. The gang surfed for an hour or so by themselves with consistent head high lefts coming through. Everyone managed to get a a few barrels and the pictures to prove it. After the morning surf we enjoyed some tasty meals before hitting the water. Went back tot he same spot for an afternoon session with similar conditions. Not as hollow but plenty of fun. The anticipated swell should be in full swing tomorrow and increasing into the weekend.

Board-Ready CV? Here's How.
You Have Diversity. Now What?
There is an opening politically for some kind of US-China trade deal in the fourth quarter of 2019 or early 2020, ahead of the US presidential election in November 2020, the CEO of Huntsman said.
"If it's not settled entirely, there could be a partial deal to take the worry out of it. We could see a 1,500 point move in the [US stock] market, creating trillions of dollars in value," said Peter Huntsman, CEO of Huntsman, in an interview with ICIS.
The resulting benefits of a trade deal would set the stage for the November 2020 US presidential election where President Donald Trump is basing a large part of his re-election strategy on the strength of the US economy, he noted.
The tariffs and negative sentiment are hitting China far harder than the US, said the CEO.
"You've got to think that China is really concerned. The US is less dependent on exports than ever with exports accounting for 9.5% of GDP. And half of that comes from Canada and Mexico," said Huntsman.
"The US is less dependent on the world for both energy and exports," he added.

Sure, the baseball season's well over halfway through, but there's still a lot of ball left to play. Which means there's still a lot of home games left to attend. Which means there's still a lot of ballpark food left to eat (because you can't just go to a game and not eat… that would be like taking "America" out of America's pastime). And since everyone knows ballpark food is better with beer, it ultimately means there's still a lot of Kräftig left to drink.
No, this isn't a bratwurst knockoff. It's a traditional German knockwurst (or knackwurst if you're really feeling the need for authenticity). This thing has two meats – beef and pork – not just one. And its spiced. It also gets bonus points for the juicy snap it makes when you bite into it.
Why choose between a soft pretzel or a grilled bratwurst when you can have both at the same time? The bratzel is literally a bratwurst wrapped and baked in hand-rolled pretzel dough. It's so simple yet so delicious. Basically, it's everything you never knew you wanted and so much more.
Nachos are perfect. Tater tots are perfect. Put them together and they equal a whole lot of perfection. These crispy tater tots have white cheddar cheese, pico de gallo, pickled jalapeno peppers, crumbled cojito cheese, sour cream, green onions, and you can even add chicken, beef, or pulled pork. We're pretty sure Napoleon Dynamite would love these.
And there you have it, baseball fans: the best ballpark food to pair with the best beer out there. Now, go enjoy some stellar baseball action at the ol' ballgame. And be sure to enjoy some ballpark food and Real American Lager while you're at it.

N++ Review
Thread starter Justin Clark
Newcomers to the N series will get a brief, funny little primer from the main menu of N++ explaining the main premise. You're a ninja, and the goal is to escape a neverending series of deadly traps, with naught but a floaty jump button at your disposal, while making off with all the gold you can. It sounds like a hectic, crazy mission, especially considering that the stages come at you with everything they've got, including lasers, missiles, lightning, and drones of all shapes, sizes, and intelligence. Your only real weapon is the sheer force of momentum itself. But the secret to success in N++ isn't to hyperventilate and sharpen your twitch reflexes but to find your zen, that place of unshakable equilibrium, of comfort with the controls, the knowledge of how the world will react to your every move and how you will respond in kind.
Welcome to the suck.
It's the same sense of zen that most people can associate with going on a long drive, a contextual, situational awareness of the vehicle you're in, what it's capable of doing and not doing, the road ahead, and the other vehicles around you. It's the point where you're no longer fighting the rules of the world around you but flourishing within it. There's an ebb and flow to every stage, a rhythm to every trap, every projectile, every time your tiny stick-figure ninja jumps through the air. Your average platformer presents an obstacle at each turn, expecting a specific utilization of the tools at your disposal to surmount. In N++, it's more akin to the game teaching you to do a kinetic dance each and every time.
That isn't to say that N, now in its third iteration, has become any less of a challenge. It's still a game that's definitely not going to coddle you on your neverending journey to the holy doorway out of each stage, and the portions have never been more daunting, with 100+ puzzles built right into the game and an infinite sprawl of new stages available through the level editor--some built for pure evil and others as a showcase of pure Rube Goldberg genius. However, the learning curve has a much more gentle gradation this time around. The game's background, once a grayscale matrix pattern, can now be shifted into a number of contrasts and colors. Most are just cool, though a couple (like a certain pink one) are weirdly nauseating.
The upward spiral.
Even the music, once a pulsing, pounding, insistent heartbeat, is now mostly a mix of chilled trance and tense, moody trip-hop. It's a game that's inviting you to the peace at its center instead of taunting you to come get it. The first trophy you ever get is the game's ethos in a nutshell: "You Suck, but That's Okay."
Veterans know this, and there isn't much here to surprise anyone who's been through the wringer with N+. But the game doesn't have to surprise you. Instead, N++ is more of a refinement for a series that's always felt like an ongoing statement of purpose more than a full game, despite the sheer number of puzzles pre-loaded. The game still feels a little on the slight side. Aside from high scores and the mere satisfaction, there's not really an impetus for the average player to go chasing after the harder bits of gold scattered throughout the stage, especially when much of the same satisfaction can be had just from reaching the goal to begin with. Instead, it remains just as it has been, a strange sort of gaming meditation, sharpening skills that definitely have applications elsewhere in one's gaming life. Try playing this for a half hour and then try beating the harder obstacle course stages in Rayman Legends. The same principles work like magic.
No pressure or anything.
Still, the purity of N++ is still its greatest appeal, a stripped-down representation of the skills that many gamers have come to know as innate, given free reign in some of the best level design ideas in the industry. N++ may represent an "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" sort of expansion, but the exhilaration that it continues to offer speaks to the idea that it may have been perfect to begin with.


This "WebResume" that I've come up with is really just a chronology of the projects from my high school and college days. On a regular resume you're limited by the paper medium and the attention span of the reader. Instead, I can just list everything I've done with all the associated pictures, videos, or samples.
In the middle of my junior year of high school (3/98), I began working at a local ISP called Discovery Net, or just Dnet for short. When I started, my knowledge of linux and networking was still very limited. My job was to perform the role of phone tech support after school and issue simple commands to the mystery machine sitting in the back room.
I soon took an interest in the way the Dnet systems worked and treated them as a "mystery to be solved". I played around with linux on a spare system I had at home and before long, I had things more or less figured out. By the time 1999 rolled around, I was more or less handling every aspect of the Dnet backroom work. It was an incredibly lucky job to land as a high school student and my boss taught me early that the customer is always right, even if they are a crazy screaming hillbilly.
After getting into linux at Dnet, I bought the domain addicts.org and proceeded to tinker with every networking protocol I could. Broadband wasn't yet available in Kansas City, but I was too eager so I ended up dumping $100 a month into ISDN, at a whopping speed of 128k. (thats 16kB/s!). Since my machine was connected all the time, I got the idea to sell login accounts to people on the Internet for a small fee. Small was right, I think I ended up getting $5 or $15 mailed to me all summer. Eventually I even had a friend of mine dial up to one of my ISDN channels and I became my own mini-ISP. After my first experience with running a simple business, I decided that to make something big and popular, you have to be really lucky, or make it free. During the summer of 99, I gave away free shell accounts on my PC in exchange for people to participate in the distributed.net RC5 competition on my "team". It worked well as an exercise in providing 1000 people access to a slow machine on a slow connection. It actually worked out rather well as my first administration attempt. No break-ins either! The addicts.org fun came to an abrupt end the week I left home to go to college. Since then, the domain name has been idle.
When I started college at UMR in 1999, I picked up on a new first person shooter called Counter-Strike. I had such a blast playing that I started developing a simple tool to scan the school's network for people running game servers. It started out scanning about 16000 machines in 10 minutes. After a few innovative additions, I got it down to about 5-10 seconds. Eventually Gamescan became part of the Seek42 web gateway I ran at UMR. It ran as a public service from 2000 to 2005 when another student built a better mousetrap in coordination with the university.
The first weekend of school in the fall of 2000, I took a trip up to Iowa State to visit an old friend who was going to take me around in his airplane. The flight was good, but of much more interest was a service on his campus that functioned much like a local Napster for the campus using regular windows file sharing.
By the end of October, a fully operational search engine was running on campus indexing all of the student computers. I soon developed the web interface into a web gateway for students by adding current news, a discussion board, the GameScan page, and a chat system. The rest is UMR history and its quite safe to say that every student who attended UMR from 2001 to the present has used or at least heard of Seek42.
My college dorm hosted an annual competition to see which community could produce the best winter holiday decorations/skit cominbation. For my second try at the competition, I found the schematic for a solid state relay on the internet so I could create computer generated effects in the hallways using conventional strands of Christmas lights. I designed and built a series of relay electrical boxes and hooked them all up to an I/O card I purchased off the Internet. I created some simple programming to control the I/O card (and in turn, the lights), creating dazzling/trippy effects in the hallways.
To finish off the effects, I programmed a Winamp (mp3 player) plugin that triggered the lights in the hallway similar to an equalizer's bar graph to the music of whatever song was playing.
We won first place in December 2000.
A frequent problem I have with the Windows operating is trying to copy files over the network or between drives and handling any kind of error or problem. Windows handles any situation by aborting anything it is doing. I decided a better solution would be to have some kind of FTP-like interface where drag and drop operations could be done, transfers paused, continued, organized etc. I took the GUI of an existing FTP client "FileZilla", modified it, and added a different back end to create just what I needed. I called the result "Dash42".

Home Finance I flew on Hon...
I flew on Honda's new $5.25 million private jet to see if it's faster, quieter, and more luxurious than before. Here's the verdict.
Benjamin Zhang, Business Insider US
The HondaJet Elite.
Benjamin Zhang/Business Insider
The HondaJet Elite made its world debut in May of 2018.
It's an updated version of the original Honda HA-420 HondaJet private jet that entered production in 2015.
The HondaJet Elite boasts increased range, a quieter cabin, an available galley, and a host of other tweaks.
The Elite starts at $5.25 million, roughly $350,000 more than the original HondaJet.
In 2015, the Honda HA-420 HondaJet entered production. It was the Japanese industrial giant's first foray into the world of aviation as a manufacturer. The HondaJet was the culmination of three decades of research and development led by Honda Aircraft Corporation CEO Michimasa Fujino.
Honda is a company known the world over for its engineering prowess. Pretty much everything the company produces is world class from hybrid supercars to lawn movers. Still, many were unsure if Honda was up to the task of building a jet from scratch.
Read more: I flew on Honda's $4.9 million private jet, and it's an absolute game-changer.
In the fall of 2017, Business Insider had the chance to experience the HondaJet first hand on a test flight over the Northeastern United States. It was magnificent. The HondaJet proved to be quick, comfortable, and chock full of innovative design features.
In 2018, Honda introduced an updated version of the plane called the HondaJet Elite. The name matches with the designation given to the company's luxury spec automobiles.
The Elite was initially sold alongside the original HondaJet but has now taken over as the only version of the plane in production.
Read more: We drove a $49,000 Honda Pilot to see if the new 2019 model is ready to take on Toyota and Ford. Here's the verdict.
This month, we made our way to down to Greensboro, North Carolina, home of the Honda Aircraft Corporation, for a test flight on board the HondaJet Elite.
The HondaJet Elite starts at $5.25 million, $350,000 more than the original HondaJet.
Here's a look at our flight on the Honda HA-420 HondaJet Elite:
Recently, we made our down to Greensboro, North Carolina to visit the headquarters of the Honda Aircraft Corporation.
Waiting for us on the apron was a new HondaJet Elite.
We had a chance to checkout to the original HondaJet back in 2017 and it won us over with its charm, performance, and innovative features.
Hollis Johnson
Let's see how Honda has updated its latest private jet.
HondaJet's overall dimensions remain unchanged at 43 feet long and 15 feet tall with a 40-foot wingspan.
The HondaJet's signature nose design also remains.
According to Fujino, the nose of the plane was inspired by a pair of Salvatore Ferragamo high heels he encountered at a duty-free shop while on vacation in Hawaii.
The HondaJet HF120 turbofan engines are also back for another tour of duty.
Output from the General Electric/Honda engines is unchanged at a stout of 2050 pounds of thrust. However, HondaJet retuned the acoustic qualities of the engine to make it quieter.
Before you ask, it doesn't have VTEC.
VTEC, Honda's world-famous Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control system, is found in many of its car engines. The system, which allows the engine to be fuel-efficient at low RPMs while delivering an extra jolt of power at high RPMs, has become a pop-culture icon among car enthusiasts.
What really makes this the HondaJet stand out is the way it mount its engines.
Instead of on the main fuselage, the HondaJet's engines are on pylons above each wing.
According to Honda, this design not only contributes to a roomier and quieter cabin.
Honda cleaned up the design of the wings and…
… Tweaked T-tail for greater efficiency.
As a result, the HondaJet Elite needs just 3,491 feet of runway to take off and can climb at a rate of 4,100 feet per minute.
The HondaJet Elite boasts a 57 cubic-foot trunk…
… Immediately aft of the passenger cabin.
There's also a nine-cubic foot frunk in the nose.
Unlike many jets, the Honda boasts a single fuel filler located in the aft of the plane by the right engine.
Filler her up!
The cabin is made of a carbon fiber epoxy composite that is designed to be lighter and stronger than traditional aluminum construction.
Let's step on board!
Inside, the cabin is 17.8 feet long, 5 feet wide, and 4.8 feet tall. Which means adults will have to duck.
The HondaJet's main cabin seats four passengers in a club setup. The seats sit on a floating ball-joint system.
As a result, the seats can move forward, backward, and to the side.
The original HondaJet came equipped with a seat facing the door.
In the Elite, that seat has been replaced by a stylish, carbon fiber wrapped galley.
The keep the plane's seating capacity unchanged,…
… The HondaJet Elite comes with a seat belt-equipped with lavatory. This way, a passenger can sit here during flight.
Under the seat, is a fully functional toilet.
Across from the toilet is a cobalt wash basin.
The lavatory comes with a pair of small skylights.
Looking closely and you can see the carbon weave of the fuselage.
A sixth passenger can sit in up in the cockpit to the right of the captain.
That's because the HondaJet is designed for single-pilot operation.
In flight, the HondaJet's cabin is impressively quiet. The experience was even more hushed than the original version.
At 30,000 feet, the HondaJet can cruise at speeds of up to 486 mph.
The HondaJet Elite boasts a range of more than 1,650 miles. That's up from the 1,400-mile range of the original model thanks to the addition of an extra fuel tank.
The HondaJet Elite is equipped with an updated version of the Garmin G3000 avionics suite found in the original variant. The cockpit features three 14.1-inch high definition displays along with…
… A pair of 5.7-inch touchscreens.
The cockpit and its controls are designed to be clear and concise.
Check out the push-button starters. Just like in your Honda Accord.
The HondaJet uses a yoke instead of the side stick.
To the right of the first officer is an emergency oxygen mask.
The view from the first officer's seat is stunning.
The view from the back of the plane is equally breathtaking. The large windows flood the cabin with natural light.
The plane does have sunshades. They can be controlled using your smartphone or by accessing a built-in touchpad.
The touchpad also gives you access to climate control and…
… The sound system.
Speaking of the stereo, the HondaJet does not use traditional speakers. Instead, its cabin is surrounded by a couple dozen transducers that vibrate inside the plane's leather-lined interior walls. As a result, the music feels like it envelopes you.
The Honda's jets seats are upholstered in rich leather. They are soft, comfortable, and offer solid bolstering.
There are retractable tables on either side of the cabin.
Beneath the tables are lighted HondaJet signs.
Soon, it was time to head back to Greensboro. Our flight wasn't terribly long, but it was long enough for us to come away impressed by the HondaJet Elite.
For us, the original HondaJet was a game-changer. With the HondaJet Elite, they've managed to make it faster, quieter, and more luxurious.

As one of only two Princess Cruises cruise ships built in Japan, it's not surprising this exotic gem can often be found sailing to the most intriguing destinations abroad. Great-tasting cuisine can be found throughout the ship, including at our popular Italian restaurant, Sabatini'sSM, where freshly prepared pasta creations reign supreme. In the elegant dining rooms, you'll find sommeliers to help you enhance your meal with paired wines.


Ms. Van Heuvelen and Mr. Shoemaker met by accident, when at the beginning of college in 2001 she sent "an off-color joke," she said, intended for her best friend, whose e-mail address was almost identical to Mr. Shoemaker's.
Mr. Shoemaker was unfazed by it, and although their paths crossed a couple of times, they spoke to each other in earnest only at the start of senior year.
"She had just returned from Beijing studying Chinese, and I had just returned from Oxford," said Mr. Shoemaker, who recalled talking to her about a half-hour while standing in the doorway of his new dorm room. They soon learned they had carrels next to each other in the library.
They were at the library again in February 2005, when their relationship took a turn as Mr. Shoemaker asked her out. Their dinner date, at an Italian restaurant, ended not with a kiss, but with a return to the library, to finish papers due the next day. Mr. Shoemaker also used the opportunity to ask Ms. Van Heuvelen to a dance that weekend.
The memory of that kiss — and the summer together that followed their graduations — would have to hold each of them a while. She left for Beijing, to study Chinese language and culture on a fellowship that would last into the following spring, and he was off to study law in Cambridge.

Captain America's first-ever director, Albert Pyun, dies at age 69.
The original director of Captain America (1989), Albert Pyun (69), has passed away. Among other cult classics, Pyun is well-known for his work in the movies Cyborg, The Sword and the Sorcerer, and Nemesis. On Saturday, November 26, Albert Pyun passed away in Las Vegas.
Sources claim that multiple sclerosis and dementia were first discovered in Albert Pyun a few years ago. His wife and producer, Cynthia Curnan, frequently shared updates about his condition in recent months. She had previously requested the followers to send the director their own private messages once his health started to deteriorate.
Albert Pyun's passing was announced by Cynthia Curnan via Facebook with a heartfelt message. I sat with him until his final breath, which sounded like he was shedding the weight of the world, she wrote.
The Sword and the Sorcerer, starring Lee Horsley, Kathleen Beller, and Simon MacCorkindale, was Albert Pyun's debut motion picture. The domestic box office for the fantasy movie was $39 million ($120 million now). It is his most lucrative book to date.
Before switching to features, Pyun worked as a commercial film editor. The director, who was born in Hawaii on May 19, 1953, was brought up by the military. Albert Pyun worked on more than 20 full-length movies throughout the 1990s, including Captain America and his four-part Nemesis series.
Pyun had been working on two unfinished projects before his death, informed his wife.

Limited Partner Resources
Understanding Your K-1
How well Is Your Investment serving You?
A Schedule K-1 form can be difficult to decode, but it holds valuable data relating to the health of your interest. Find out if your limited partnership interest is working for you with the help of our step-by-step K-1 breakdown. We have a great deal of experience in these matters and can provide an opinion on the taxes associated with the potential selling of an interest, however we do encourage all clients to consult with their personal tax advisors before finalizing any sale.
Final K-1
If the Final K-1 box at the top of the page is checked it indicates that the K-1 in question is the final K-1 for the partner listed in Box F. If it is indeed the final K-1 it would indicate that ownership was transferred to another entity (the entity would also receive a K-1 in this year), that the partnership interest was sold or that the partnership itself had been dissolved.
Net rental real estate income
Box 2 displays the limited partners share of the income or loss from the operations of the partnership. This number is used to calculate the income tax the limited partner must pay and is treated as ordinary income. Using the figure listed in our sample K-1 of $12,300, if the limited partner were in the 40% tax bracket (ignoring any other income or tax circumstances) the limited partner would owe $4,920 in Federal Taxes.
Box 19 is reserved for the total amount in distributions paid to the partner in the year indicated on the K-1. In our example the limited partner has received a distribution in the amount of $3,400. While this is substantial, it is not sufficient to cover the taxes due ($4,920 - see above). In other words, for this year the limited partner would have a net out-of-pocket loss of $1,520 as a result of his or her ownership of the interest.
Partners Share
The figures in Box J, taken together, break down the limited partner's ownership percentage within the partnership. In a typical partnership all six percentages will be same, however they do occasionally vary, especially in older tax-shelter partnerships. In these limited partnership agreements there was usually included a conversion period where the division of the capital proceeds would change over time; most converting from a 99/1 split to a 50/50 split between the limited partners and the general partner respectively.
Capital Account Analysis
Finally, Box L shows the changes in the limited partners' capital account for the year in which the K-1 has been issued. The first figure is the beginning capital account from the prior year. The remaining figures represent the effects of income and distributions, a calculus that eventually arrives at the final capital account for the year in question. This final capital account tabulation is a great indicator of what a partner's taxable gain would be if the interest were sold. From a tax standpoint, a negative capital account is treated as a capital gain upon sale. Conversely, a positive capital account is treated as a capital loss if the interest is sold.
Need a more detailed explanation?
Please have your K1 available and contact us at your convenience.

Film Friday- E's Otherwise
June 27, 2020 Lynn Rainey Comments 1 comment
E's is a Japanese shōnen manga series written and drawn by Satoru Yuiga. It was originally serialized in Monthly GFantasy from 1997 through 2005, and later published in 16 tankōbon volumes by Square Enix from March 18, 2003 to February 27, 2010. The series focuses on Kai Kudō, an "Esper", who is recruited by an organization called Ashurum to become a soldier to purportedly save other psychics from regular humans. After a mission in Gald goes wrong, Kai finds himself living with a man named Yuuki and his adopted sister Asuka. As he learns more about Ashurum, Kai finds himself wondering what their true goals are, and worrying about his ill sister, who is under Ashurum's care.
The series was adapted into a twenty-six episode anime series entitled E's Otherwise by Studio Pierrot. It debuted in Japan on April 1, 2003 on TV Tokyo; the final episode aired on September 23, 2003. Two light novels and three drama CDs related to the series have also been released in Japan.
Broccoli Books licensed the manga series for English-language publication in North America in 2006. ADV Films licensed the anime series for North American broadcast and distribution, with the English dubbed version of the series airing on Anime Network.
Kai Kudō
is the series protagonist. Orphaned before the start of the anime, his only remaining family member is his sickly sister Hikaru Kudō, who is noted to have extremely powerful psychic powers. It is also believed by Eiji Sagimiya that Kai also has the potential to become powerful as Hikaru, but either he hasn't unlocked these powers out of dormancy yet or isn't aware of them. He's also extremely sensitive to sweets, to the point where even the mention or sight of it makes him uneasy. Kai and Hikaru were taken by ASHURUM in order to receive protection from people who hate espers, and in return Kai has to enroll into AESES, a psychic division with similarities to the Special forces in the U.S. military. However his stay was rendered short after a failed mission that resulted in the death of his partner and a devastating psychic explosion that throws him into Gald, a run-down city run by crime syndicates. Although he was met with distrust from Yuki Tokugawa, a Gald resident who hates espers, Kai is eventually accepted by him and his little foster sister Asuka Tokugawa, a young empath who develops a crush on him. It is during his stay in Gald where Kai starts seeing the kinder side of humanity. Toward the end of the anime, Kai helps his former rival Shen-Long Belvedere in restoring his twin sister's personality, after being informed of ASHURUM's true purposes, and is later aided in rescuing Hikaru from Eiji by Yuki. Kai confronts Eiji on his true motives, and engages in a final decisive battle for the fate of the world. It is not explicitly known what the outcome of the battle was, it is implied that Kai had won but it's hotly debated whether he survived and is somewhere on the other side of the planet or he sacrificed his life to beat Eiji.
Hikaru Kudō
is Kai's orphaned younger sister. Hikaru is an innocent, childlike girl who is an esper harboring immensely powerful psychic abilities, but due to an unknown illness she is unable to use them and remains bedridden for the duration of the anime until the end. Her frail condition led her to being hospitalized in ASHURUM's hospital, where her stay is often frequented by visits from Kai or Eiji, her caretaker. Kai often worries about Hikaru's well-being and occasionally experiences dreams about his younger sister. Later, Hikaru is taken away by Eiji, who wants to use her psychic abilities to wipe out most of Earth's population because he claims that it'll make espers like her "happy". The plan is nearly successful, as Hikaru was put into a machine that enhances her telepathic abilities to the point it can cover and attack a vast area of people, but Kai, who was informed by Shen-Long, and Yuki Tokugawa intervened and rescued her from such a fate. She is later seen in Gald in perfect condition, watching the night stars with Asuka Tokugawa.
Shen-Long Belvedere
is the younger twin brother of Shin-Lu Belvedere, his older sister. He is a very powerful psychic, capable of telekinesis and teleportation. He also hates anyone who gets in his way, especially Kai, with whom he develops an antagonistic rivalry. Shen-Long hates normal humans because of the rough childhood they caused him and Shin-Lu, and is very protective of his sister. Shen-Long is revealed to be telepathically linked to Shin-Lu, after being affected by the intense pain of a telepathic attack that rendered his sister comatose. In a rage, he creates a devastating psychic explosion that wipes out the entire area, causing Kai to end up in Gald. Later, he finds that Shin-Lu had recovered, but was also brainwashed, causing him to search for ways to restore her old personality, siding with Kai to achieve this. Shen-Long also discovers that Eiji took in Hikaru, Kai's younger sister, so he can use her powers to wipe out most of Earth's population. At the end of the anime, Shen-Long engages in a vicious psychic battle with his older sister, and succeeds in snapping her out of her brainwashing at the cost of himself. It is unknown whether Shen-Long had survived this fate.
Shin-Lu Belvedere
is the older sister to her younger twin brother Shen-Long. She cares about her younger brother a lot as an older sister should, but she is frustrated with his condescending and sardonic attitude towards Kai Kudō, a newcomer recruited into ASHURUM. She initially began developing some sort of affection for Kai, as evidenced by baking a cake for him. During one of the first missions assigned to Kai's division during the beginning of the anime, she was rendered comatose by a telepathic attack on her mind, which immediately affected Shen-Long because of their telepathic link. Later on she was revived, but upon being found by Shen-Long she revealed to be brain washed after recovering. Shin-Lu then engaged in a vicious psychic battle with her younger brother, but was seemingly snapped out of her brainwashing when she mortally wounded Shen-Long.
Yuki Tokugawa
is Asuka's foster brother and one of the few residents of Gald, a run-down city led by crime syndicates. He takes odd jobs for money, which he uses to support his younger foster sister and himself. He also takes care of the orphaned kids that don't have a family. When Kai Kudō winds up in Gald after a devastating explosion caused by Shen-Long Belvedere, Yuki instinctively distrusts him because of his esper heritage and even came close to shooting him, but allows Kai to stay at his house for a while and later becomes one of his strongest allies against ASHURUM. He later aids Kai in rescuing his younger sister Hikaru from Eiji's clutches while Kai goes and distracts Eiji in a decisive battle.
Asuka Tokugawa
is a resident of a run-down city named Gald, and is the younger foster sister of Yuki. Orphaned before the start of the anime, she was among the first children in Gald that Yuki started taking care of, and now ended up living with him. Asuka adores animals and had developed a habit of taking in any strays that she finds. She is kind and caring, but dislikes being useless. Asuka often makes well-intended attempts to help around the house, but her cooking is horrible to the point Yuki has banned her from their kitchen, to her chagrin. She is later revealed to be an empath, a person who "senses" the feelings of others, as she explains to Kai. It was Asuka who introduces Kai to the kinder side of humanity, making him side with them in the end. After the events of the series, Asuka is shown standing with Kai's sister Hikaru, showing her the stars for the first time.
Eiji Sagimiya
is the mysterious head of ASHURUM, a corporation that protects espers, known as "E's", from those who would rather have them dead. He was the one who brought the Kudō siblings Kai and Hikaru to ASHURUM long after they were orphaned, bringing medical care for Hikaru, who became ill with an unknown sickness. At first Eiji is a kind but firm person, and protective of the espers under his care, and is even trusted by Kai. He oversees the activities of ASHURUM, organizing "missions" for the espers that seem to have a benefit for outside society, hoping the espers will eventually receive equal treatment. However, in reality he is revealed to be manipulative and has inner motives. He desires to destroy the majority of Earth's population and reshape it into a world where only espers live, without having to deal with prejudice and racism against their kind, which was why he kept Hikaru and Kai because of their immensely powerful psychic abilities. However Kai found out from Shen-Long about Eiji's involvement with Hikaru and intervened with his plans, resulting in a final decisive battle that revealed Eiji as one of the espers.
is a witch and the granddaughter of Erimiya. She befriends Yuki and later aids him in his quest to bring down ASHURUM.
Erimiya
is the grandfather of Maria, a witch, and the local wise man of Gald. He has precognitive abilities, and it is because of this why Eiji highly values him. He was kept hidden from those who seek to exploit him for his knowledge of the future or kill him. Erimiya serves as one of the key players in predicting the final battle between humanity and ASHURUM's espers. He is responsible for telepathically attacking Shin-Lu and causing Shen-Long to go berserk and destroying much of Gald.

A big thank you for your article.


Dutch Referee Blog will give you the opportunity to practice the Laws of the Game in a weekly Quiz. These will be released every Friday at 12pm (CET).
It is possible to only do the quizzes for personal practice, but it's also possible to win some referee goodies. Refsworld UK has made these available for Dutch Referee Blog's Laws of the Game Quizzes. The monthly prize will (randomly) be alloted to one of the contestants who scored the most points in a particular month. If you want your weekly scores to be summed up, make sure you write down the same email address and user name every week. If you just want to practice, you can leave these fields empty.
At the end of the quiz you have the option to subscribe to the weekly newsletter. It's not an obligation and it will not increase your chances to win a prize. It can be a reminder for you to make the test (a link will be in the newsletter) plus you get notified of other interesting referee stories.
A winner will be randomly selected under participants who scored the most points (every correct question is 1 point) in a month. The winner will announced on Dutch Referee Blog or it's social channels and also will be contacted via the submitted e-mail address.

Brilliant efforts of X-raying the laws of the game. Kindly keep the questions coming.
Thanks a lot, I like the questions.
Hi Felix, there are new quizzes every week. About 30 more after this first quiz. Good luck!
Is there a link to the next quiz?
Below each quiz are terms and conditions. There's a link to all questions. Will try to make a template next year with a button at the bottom that refers to all quizzes.

Understanding the other
In building a coalition, a good understanding between the party leaders is extremely important. For this reason, if a coalition government were to form in the UK following the inconclusive result of the general election, then it seems a coalition between the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats is more likely than between Labour led by Mr Brown and the Liberal Democrats. After all, Mr Cameron and Mr Clegg are more alike than Mr Brown and Mr Clegg. Mr Cameron and Mr Clegg belong to the same generation, with similar backgrounds and enjoyed similar education. Whether they get along famously or not is not hugely important as understanding each other. By belonging to essentially the same group of people, they have many points of references, whether culture or historical events, that they share. This is not to say policies are unimportant, or whether the party leaders can take their parties with them, but it makes the initial stage of talking to one another much less difficult. Perhaps a clearer picture will emerge tomorrow: will this hypothesis be proved partially correct or totally wrong?
