Final Fantasy XIV: Daddy of Light Is Coming to Netflix and That Title Isn't an April Fool's Joke
That'll look weird in your Netflix queue.

Home » News » Final Fantasy XIV: Daddy of Light Is Coming to Netflix and That Title Isn't an April Fool's Joke
You may vaguely remember a few months back when an oddly named TV drama was announced called, Final Fantasy XIV: Daddy of Light. Believe it or not that's the title of a real show being made, and yes, that show will be debuting worldwide on Netflix this year.
The show will be premiering on April 20 for Japanese subscribers, as well as broadcasting on the Japanese channels MBS and TBS on April 16. However, the show isn't expected for western audiences until later this Fall. Somehow, it doesn't look the name will be changing at any time either, and it'll still be called Daddy of Light.
Of course, you may be wondering just why it has such a strange name, but there is a reason. Final Fantasy XIV: Daddy of Light is about a father and son who's relationship grows and changes through their experiences together in the game. It's a mostly live-action drama, although there will be a fair amount of time spent withing Final Fantasy XIV as well. The show was actually inspired by a real individuals blog, where he chronicles the experience he and his father have in the game. Take a look at the trailer below.
We'll make sure to update you once there's more information on Final Fantasy XIV: Daddy of Light's premiere date. You can also see the show's opening theme down below.
Will you be checking out Daddy of Light when it hits Netflix? Let us know down in the comments.

Page, today is the hub of the Grand Circle, which is nothing but a very big collection of monuments, national parks, state parks, historical sites and geological formations. It is due the credit of these previously mentioned beauties that Page is capable of attracting more than 4 million visitors every year.
Located on the northwestern parts of United States, it captures a total of 17 square miles of land. To add to the beauty, Page boasts of Colorado River Rafting, Antelope Canyon and many more. The river led to the formation of many dams of which, The Canyon Dam is one of the largest in the entire United States. The area has a mild desert climate and because of this, discovering the lake becomes quite affordable.
According to the latest census conducted in 2000, the total population of the town was 6505. The density of population was 395 persons per square kilometers during that period. $17,955 was the value of the per capita income and about 15.5% of the population lived below the poverty line.
The region has a very good connections to the adjoining ones. Both roadways and airways form major connecting modems for Page. The city runs in buses though cabs and hired bikes are also available. Railways also carry a huge number of passengers. Trans-American Railways, which connect it to its neighboring provinces, is one of the best in the world. The city also flaunts a big National and International Airport, which houses several airlines, including Air America.
Page prides itself on the fact that it is one of those rarest cities, which flaunts some of the finest accommodation facilities in the country. From starred hotels to cheap rented houses, from exotic resorts to dormitories, it has everything in store. Add to it, most of the deluxe hotels have spa facilities. There are self-catering apartments also. As the city is positioned at a higher altitude, window views become quite impressive. The most spectacular view can be enjoyed when one gets a view of the volcanic mountain from his room.
With its natural beauty and crafted planning, Page thrives to be a city of its kind!


Skype ha annunciato nella giornata odierna, attraverso un post sul proprio blog ufficiale, che non supporterà più l'applicazione per WP 7. Va precisata una cosa: per fine del supporto l'azienda, comprata alcuni mesi fa da Microsoft stessa, intende che non verranno più rilasciate nuove versioni dell'applicazione. Questa scelta è dovuta a un ottimizzazione delle risorse: infatti prima di compiere questa mossa l'azienda ha cercato di capire quanti utenti Windows Phone utilizzano la loro applicazione.
E' infatti emerso che la maggior parte degli utenti Windows Phone utilizzano l'ottava versione e perciò è stata deciso di terminare il supporto per WP7: nonostante questa scelta sia comprensibile (è senz'altro in atto una riorganizzazione interna) va detto come i pochi utenti WP 7 potranno essere esposti a problemi di sicurezza (infatti non verranno introdotte nuove funzioni e non verranno eseguiti).
Cosa ne pensate? Fatecelo sapere attraverso i commenti: qui sotto potrete trovare il post ufficiale tratto dal blog di Skype!
Skype is all about bringing people together whenever they are apart. A big part of this mission is ensuring that we deliver the best possible experiences to the devices that you use each and every day.
Microsoft has the best platforms to enable us at Skype to build excellent experiences for our users. Over the past year, we've made a lot of progress bringing Skype even closer to the devices and services from Microsoft. Whether it's Snap onWindows 8 allowing you to do something else on your PC while having a video chat, Group Video Calling on Xbox One or powering Chat for Outlook.com, Skype is becoming an increasingly integral part of Microsoft devices and services.
Earlier this year we outlined Skype's Mobile Future, where our work on Windows Phone has been leading the way in a number of key areas. Skype for Windows Phone was the first Skype mobile app to have HD Video Calling, the new Modern user interface and be always on and power efficient. The Windows Phone 8 platform is gaining good momentum in the marketplace and at Skype the vast majority of our Windows Phone base and usage is on Windows Phone 8.
Just recently we released Video Messaging for our Windows Phone 8 app, enabling you to record and share messages, even when friends and loved ones are not available for a call. As we look ahead to the future, we are focusing all our efforts to bring great experiences and improved performance to Windows Phone 8, building on the capabilities of the platform. As a result we are not planning to release further updates to Skype for Windows Phone 7. However the Windows Phone 7 app will remain available to download in the Windows Phone Store, so users can still keep using the core Skype experiences, such as Chat, Voice and Video Calls.
We're excited to be working on even more great experiences for Skype for Windows Phone which we can unveil in the future. As always, stay tuned and keep watching our blogs for updates and news where we'll let you know when more good stuff is on the way.

José María Aragón Foureaux, conocido artísticamente como «Pompoff» (Francia, 11 de marzo de 1887-Madrid, 3 de febrero de 1970) fue un payaso español, junto a sus hermanos Pompoff, Thedy y Emig.

Biografía
Parte de la familia de artistas Aragón. Hijo del también payaso Gabriel Aragón Gómez, que había formado pareja con Arturo, su hermano, en 1909, formó una nueva pareja cómica con otro de sus hermanos, Teodoro. La iniciativa no duró por el rechazo del público.

Aragón se convirtió en empresario circense y recorrió Marruecos con sus espectáculos. Cuando su hermano Thedy regresó de América, en 1913 intentaron de nuevo convertirse en payasos, adoptaron el nombre, primero de Hermanos Aragón y poco después, definitivamente, Pompoff y Thedy.

El dúo duró más de 50 años. En la década de los años 1920 se convirtió en trío con la incorporación de Emilio «Emig», otro de sus hermanos. Ya en la década de los años 1930, se unió a los hermanos, el hijo de Aragón, José Aragón Hipkins «Nabuconodosorcito» y su sobrino Emilio «Zampabollos».

Pasaron 15 años triunfando en Estados Unidos, regresaron definitivamente en 1967. Aragón se retiró ese mismo año con una función en el Circo Price de Plaza del Rey en Madrid.

Fue tío de los payasos Gaby, Fofó y Miliki.

HorchataSam2021-10-26T08:58:39+00:00
What is Horchata?
Horchata is a sweet beverage made from grains or nuts and seasoned with spices. This plant-based beverage has a white and creamy appearance. What is regarded as the traditional recipe is produced in Spain from tiger nuts, sugar, and water, creating a taste similar to rice pudding.
The Mexican version of this drink has a cloudy appearance and consists of rice milk, sugar, and cinnamon.
In other Latin American countries different grains and seeds are used to produce this cool and creamy beverage.
Some common variations include:
horchata de chufa (Spain)
horchata de arroz (Mexico)
horchata de morro (El Salvador)
horchata de jicaro (Nicaragua)
horchata de jicaro (Honduras)
horchata de ajonjolí (Puerto Rico)
horchata lojala (Ecuador)
Horchata has been in existence for a long time with different cultures and civilizations consuming this drink in one form or another. One notable version of this drink is "horchata de chufa", which is made primarily from ground and sweetened tiger nuts. Horchata de chufa has its roots in North Africa around 2400 BC. When the Romans conquered Egypt, the drink was discovered, nicknamed "hordeata", and valued for its ability to cool and refresh the body. The general advice was that people should drink it to lower high body temperatures and cool down on hot days.
In the 8th century, the Moors were responsible for bringing this beverage to Spain and West Africa. Residents of France, England, and Spain loved the drink for its richness and supposed health benefits. Colonization caused this beverage to move from Spain to Mexico, where the local version of this drink is made primarily of rice. This drink spread to South and North America where it evolved with different ingredients and recipes. However, the traditional recipe remains very popular in the Spanish city of Valencia to this day.
This drink has several uses in the kitchen. It can be mixed with coffee and spirits like rum and tequila. Horchata is also used to flavor ice cream, candies, and a variety of sweet treats.
In 322g of this drink, there are:
Tiger nuts serve as a significant ingredient in horchata de chufa. Here are some health benefits that these nuts offer:
They may be able to decrease blood sugar levels due to an increase in insulin sensitivity and production.
These nuts can improve heart health because they contain monounsaturated fats.
Their insoluble fiber content can aid digestion and bowel movements.
Tiger nuts may be able to strengthen the immune system and fight diseases.
They are rich in nutrients and also provide antioxidants to protect from certain diseases.
Tiger nuts have no significant side effects. However, you may feel unpleasant bloating and gas, if you integrate them into your diet too quickly.
The first stage in the commercial production of this drink is to wash the tiger nuts. When the nuts are clean, they undergo rehydration for some hours before they are drained and prepared for blending. Then, the nuts are added to water before they are crushed and ground to produce the creamy beverage. Finally, the resulting liquid is filtered, bottled, capped, labeled, and stored until ready for sale.
The global market for plant-based beverages was valued at $11.16 billion in 2018. This value is expected to reach $19.67 billion by 2023.
If you want to make this drink at home, these tips may be helpful.
Try experimenting with hazelnuts or cashews to make the drink.
After you have soaked the ingredients for a while, use a blender to blend them.
Add some honey or a sweetener to your final beverage.
Fresh beverages can last for about ten days in the fridge. If you want to check whether or not the drink has gone bad, you will know from its odor. Should the beverage have an unpleasant smell, dispose of it immediately.
Horchata recipes
This traditional drink can be enjoyed in many different ways. Here are some popular recipes:
Quick Horchata Cocktail
Dirty Horchata
Rum-Spiked
Horchata de Coco
The Food and Drug Administration has no current regulations that pertain to the production or processing. However, the organization classifies cinnamon as a substance that is safe for its intended use. Cinnamon is a common ingredient in some versions of this beverage. The FDA also has strict regulations regarding the labeling of added sugars on nutrition labels. Producers of these beverages must adhere to these regulations to be compliant.

Welcome, guest (log-in)
Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra
On 27 September 1919, a new orchestra took to the stage of the old Logan Hall in Oslo to give its first public concert. Conductor Georg Schnéevoigt presided over thrilling performances of Edvard Grieg's Piano Concerto and Christian Sinding's First Symphony. After forty years of making-do, the Norwegian capital had at last got the orchestra it deserved. The Oslo Philharmonic was born.
In the eight months that followed, the Oslo Philharmonic gave 135 concerts, most of which sold out. It tackled passionate Mahler, glistening Debussy and thrusting Nielsen. Soon, world famous musicians were coming to conduct it, relishing its youth and enthusiasm. Igor Stravinsky and Maurice Ravel visited Oslo to coach the musicians through brand new music. National broadcaster NRK began to hang microphones at the orchestra's concerts, transmitting them to the whole of Norway.
Over the next half-century, the Oslo Philharmonic's reputation grew steadily. Then, in 1979, it changed forever. A young Latvian arrived in Norway, taking the orchestra apart section-by-section, putting it back together a finely tuned machine with a whole new attitude. Under Mariss Jansons, the orchestra became a rival to the great Philharmonics of Vienna, Berlin and New York. It was soon playing everywhere, from Seattle to Salzburg, Lisbon to London. Back home in Oslo, it got a modern, permanent concert hall of its own. In 1986, EMI drew up the largest orchestral contract in its history, ensuring the world would hear the rich, visceral sound of the Oslo Philharmonic.

Q: jquery autocomplete by one key on multiple fields with same class name I'm using jquery.autocomplete for searching items by code and autocomplete the code and also update previous form input field called name:

<input type="text" name="Name[]" class="nameautoc" value="badname1" />
<input type="text" name="Code[]" class="codeautoc" value="1234" />

<input type="text" name="Name[]" class="nameautoc" value="ok_name" />
<input type="text" name="Code[]" class="codeautoc" value="12345" />

<input type="text" name="Name[]" class="nameautoc" value="badname2" />
<input type="text" name="Code[]" class="codeautoc" value="34567" />

The autocomplet by the code itself works ok, for each Code input field.
When added the JS code to update the matching Name field, it update the whole form Name fields instead of the previous/or the current one I'm working on.
How can I implement that only the current input Name field is autocompleted by the code I choose, or should I use JS code refering to the table I'm using?
The JS code:
    $(document).ready(function($) {
        $(".codeautoc").autocomplete({
            source:"codenName.php",
            minLength:2,
            select:function(event,ui){
                var item=ui.item;
                if(item){
                    $(".nameautoc").val(item.name);
                }
            }
    });

The relevant PHP code:
    while($row = mysql_fetch_array($fetch,MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
        $return_row['label'] = $row['code'];
        $return_row['value'] = $row['code'];
        $return_row['name'] = $row['name'];
        array_push($return_arr, $return_row);
    }

Hope I provided the needed information.
Thanks!

A: Your select callback should look something like this:
  select:function(event,ui){
      var item=ui.item;
      if(item){
         $(".nameautoc", $(this).parents('tr')).val(item.name);
      }
  }

By adding $(this).parents('tr') as context in the jquery selector (Refer to JQuery docs for more details), you're making sure that only the matching child elements of the parent tr element are updated, instead of all elements with class nameautoc in the document.
Optionally, you can also use $(this).parent().parent() to traverse upto the tr, instead of using $(this).parents('tr'). Here's the working fiddle.

"Danette's book takes a pragmatic and practical approach to achieving the desired state of data quality within an organization.
It is a 'must-read' for any organization starting out on the road to data quality."
Your organization's best opportunities for organic growth lie in data. But most organizations are far from being data driven. We find no examples of fundamental company-wide change, without committed leadership and the involvement of everyone at all levels of the organization.
But for most companies, the reality is far different.
Given the successes and potential, adoption of "data" has been remarkably slow.
We concluded that deep, profound change is required: People must take on new roles and responsibilities and develop new skills; new organizational structures are needed; and cultures must develop that put data on par with other assets.

The term "seed" refers to microorganisms that consume the biodegradable organic matter in samples for measurement of Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD).
Domestic wastewater (influent) or effluent from biological water treatment plants (before disinfection) provide the best source of seed, and give the most reproducible results. Other sources, such as industrial wastewater, may not have enough microorganisms, or may contain toxins that prevent the organisms from growing. If wastewater is not available, prepare a seed solution from a freeze-dried capsule such as PolySeed®. Whatever source of seed is used, it will exert some demand. Therefore a seed control must be measured to correct for this demand. Older versions of the Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater indicated that Dissolved Oxygen (DO) uptake of seeded dilution water should be between 0.6-1.0 mg/L, newer versions indicate a minimum of 2.0 mg/L. Refer to the current Standard Methods or your local regulatory official to verify this requirement.
When determining BOD, it is necessary to have a population of microorganisms that can oxidize (or consume) the biodegradable organic matter present in the sample. If there is too little seed present in the sample, complete consumption of biodegradable matter may not occur, resulting in inaccurate results. In samples such as influent samples and effluent waters prior to disinfection, this is not a problem as the sample will contain sufficient bacteria to do the job. However, in certain sample types, such as some industrial wastes, high temperature wastes, and treated effluent, there is not enough bacterial activity to consume the material that is present. In these cases, seed must be added. Seed is simply a solution that contains a sufficient population of bacteria. Hach offers PolySeed®, a seed capsule that can be added to samples.
Seed requires proper pH, temperature control, and nutrients such as phosphorus, calcium, and magnesium for proper growth. Hach nutrient buffer pillows provide the necessary nutrients and pH.
The Hach Technical Bluebook 'Introduction to Biochemical Oxygen Demand' provides more information on BOD.

Watch Phish Usher In 3.0 With "Fluffhead" Opener At First Show In Five Years, On This Day In 2009 [Video]
Dave Melamed | Friday, March 6th, 2020
Screengrab via mkdevo
On March 6th, 2009, Phish made a statement. The band had been broken up since 2004, a time when many fans thought the group would never perform again. Always full of surprises, Phish slyly announced their return on their website, and made good on it a few months later at the Hampton Coliseum in Hampton, VA.
pic.twitter.com/CjKjI3JnX6
— PhishatMSG (@PhishatMSG) March 6, 2020
When the band took the stage, the anticipation was at an all-time high. What would they play after five years off the road? The question was answered triumphantly, as Trey Anastasio hit the opening notes of his composition, "Fluffhead." It was a perfect moment of retribution for Phish and their fans, one that can still give you the chills to this day.
Thanks to MKDevo, we can watch full videos from the entire performance, including the opening "Fluffhead." Welcome to 3.0.
Setlist: Phish | Hampton Coliseum | Hampton, VA | 3/6/09
Set 1: Fluffhead, Divided Sky, Chalk Dust Torture > Sample in a Jar, Stash, I Didn't Know, The Oh Kee Pa Ceremony > Suzy Greenberg > Farmhouse, NICU, Horn > Rift, Train Song, Water in the Sky, The Squirming Coil > David Bowie
Set 2: Backwards Down the Number Line[1] > Tweezer -> Taste, Possum, Theme From the Bottom, First Tube > Harry Hood, Waste > You Enjoy Myself[2]
Encore: Grind, Bouncing Around the Room, Loving Cup
[1] Phish debut.
[2] Restarted.
Phish's first public performance since Coventry on August 15, 2004 started with Fluffhead, a song not played since prior to the first hiatus on September 29, 2000 (70 shows). Also of note, several large, white balloons were hung in a circle around the coliseum, lit up by an additional central lighting rig; the balloons (save for a few casualties) would remain for the entire run. Trey introduced Fish as "Dad" during I Didn't Know. Train Song was not played since May 23, 2000 (111 shows) and Grind was not played since December 30, 1998 (181 shows). During Bouncing, some of the balloons were dripped into the crowd. This show featured the Phish debut of Backwards Down the Number Line. YEM featured a false start possibly as a nod to the January 3, 2003 restarted version.

Different seaweeds from different colour groups can be used for a variety of benefits. Here we have used Bladderwrack for its anti-inflammatory reputation and its ability to detoxify and remineralise the body.
Steep seaweed of choice for at least 20 minutes in a quart of boiling hot water. Strain and add the water to your bath.
Simmer the seaweed in the olive &coconut oils in a crock pot overnight (8-10 hours). Strain and pour in a jar; add aromatic essential oils if using and combine well.
Store in the fridge for long term use.
To use: warm the jar in a bath of warm water for ease of application. Just massage into aches & pains as needed.

Q: Is this AdaBoost behavior correct? I'm implementing AdaBoost as described by the Viola-Jones paper for my own edification.  In the process of unit testing the algorithm I have found some strange behavior.  It is possible this is just the algorithm acting strangely on canned data or it is possible I am missing something.  I'd like to know which case it is.
To start with I have:
2 instances of A type faces
1 instance  of a B type face
3 instances of noise
--------------------
6 total instances

So each image has an initial weight of 1/6.
The first feature selected by the classifier identifies A types faces but not B type faces and not any of the noise.  As a result it has an error (and associated weight in the boosted classifier) of 1/6.
Next the weights are updated (first the correctly classified images are multiplied by (error / 1 - error)) == 0.2 yielding:
A type face weight: 1/30
B type face weight: 1/6
noise image weight: 1/6

Then the weights are normalized (to sum to 1):
A type face weight: 1/22
B type face weight: 5/22
noise image weight: 5/22

The second feature correctly selects B type images but not noise or A type images.  As a result it has an error of 1/11 (2/22) which is noticeably less than 1/6.
Since the "default" threshold proposed by Viola-Jones (this is before we get to cascades and tweaking thresholds in the latter section of the paper) is half the weights, and there are only two weights, and the second feature's weight is larger (since it had a lower error) then the resulting boosted classifier only correctly classifies the B type faces.
Intuitively, I would expect a strong classifier composed of a weak classifier which detects A faces and a weak classifier which detects B faces to detect both A and B faces.
I'm even willing to accept that I'll only get one of the two since AdaBoost is sort of a majority voting algorithm and might behave strangely with only 2 voters, but I would expect if it's only going to correctly classify one of the faces then it would correctly classify the A faces since there are more of them.
In other words, I would expect each weak classifier added to the strong classifier to have successively lower weight.
Am I missing a step or is this just strange behavior for overly-simple data?

A: There is a mistake in the computation. When using the first feature, the error is 1/6 because only B faces are misclassified. Noise and A faces are classified correctly in this case. Therefore, when you are updating weights according to w(i) = w(i) * beta^(1-e(i)), only for B faces e(i) equals to 1. For A faces and noise e(i) = 0. Thus, weights for both noise and A faces will be updated:
A type face weight: 1/30
B type face weight: 1/6
noise image weight: 1/30

After normalization:
A type face weight: 1/10
B type face weight: 1/2
noise image weight: 1/10

Now, when you are using the second feature, the error is 1/5.

Put another way, Say was making the claim that production is the source of demand. One's ability to demand goods and services from others derives from the income produced by one's own acts of production. Wealth is created by production not by consumption. My ability to demand food, clothing, and shelter derives from the productivity of my labor or my nonlabor assets. The higher (lower) that productivity, the higher (lower) is my power to demand.
4. Say was appointed to a government finance committee in 1799, where he encountered Napoleon Bonaparte, then the First Consul of France. During a dinner meeting, Napoleon proposed that Say publish an updated edition of his Treatise incorporating a defense of the government's profligate policies. To entice the economist, Napoleon offered him 40,000 francs to make the changes. Say refused to compromise his integrity, which cost him his job with the Tribunat.
5. While his book was being suppressed in France, Say and his Treatise came to the attention of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. Madison thought it the best book ever written about economics and Jefferson attempted to entice Say to be a professor of political economy at the new University of Virginia. Instead, Say waited till Napoleon was in exile and took a job as professor in economics, first at the Athénée, then at the Conservatoire des Arts et Metiers, and finally at the College de France, where he occupied France's first chair in political economy.

Chain link fence parts – It is possible that the grass is greener on the other side of the fence, and if you have a chain link fence as part of your landscaping, you will be able to see the other side of the grass. Chain link fence is cheap and durable, but the open woven galvanized steel wire with steel metal posts and frames makes the unattractive appearance of an industrial area. With a little effort and creative inspiration, you can transform your ugly chain link fence into a work of art, or simply conceal the view.
Growing plants, in front or on a chain link fence, creates an attractive, permanent barrier between you and the fence. Fast-growing flowering vineyards, such as wisteria, honeysuckle and trumpet, will grow several feet per year while linking to the chain link. Evergreen vine varieties for year-round coverage include ivy varieties and creeping fig.
Fruit-bearing plants such as raspberries and grapes quickly cover the fence and provide a bonus for wildlife or your family. Climbing roses can be trained to grow on a chain link fence with the benefit of keeping unwanted visitors from your garden because of the thorns on the plant. Fast growing shrubs such as blueberries, azaleas, dogwood or privet can also be grown in front of the fence for quick coverage.

David Filipov pays tribute to his late father
On September 11, 2014 By Dan KennedyIn Media
On the 13th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, here is your must-read remembrance: Boston Globe reporter David Filipov's series of tweets about his father, Al, who was killed on that day. It begins here.
This story begins where it ends: at Boston's Logan Airport, where 13 years ago today Al Filipov http://t.co/DZwRIMTdPr boarded flight AA11.

The Boston Globe's remarkable two days
On December 17, 2013 December 17, 2013 By Dan KennedyIn Media11 Comments
A massive investigation into the Tsarnaev family that casts into doubt the notion that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was the dupe of his older brother, Tamerlan. A harrowing two-part story on a supposed case of "medical child abuse" that raises serious questions about one of our most respected hospitals. And a feel-good story posted to Twitter that immediately goes viral.
It was quite a two days for The Boston Globe, starting with the Sunday edition and wrapping up Monday evening, when staff reporter Billy Baker's tweets about a poor teenager getting accepted into Yale were cited by the likes of BuzzFeed and Piers Morgan.
It was the Tsarnaev package that has received the most attention. Reported by Sally Jacobs, David Filipov and Patricia Wen (Filipov, a former Moscow bureau chief for the Globe, visited Dagestan, where he learned of Tamerlan's inept efforts to join an Islamist insurgency), the story provides the most thorough overview yet of a dysfunctional family dynamic that ultimately led the Tsarnaev brothers into terrorism.
The story defies summary. For me, the most fascinating takeaway is that Dzhokhar, far from being manipulated by Tamerlan, was himself an angry young man and a big-time pot dealer who was at the very least a co-equal of Tamerlan's. With Tamerlan reportedly hearing voices and seemingly unable to make coherent plans, Dzhokhar may well have been the key to pulling off the Boston Marathon bombings.
Indeed, it was Dzhokhar, according to the Globe report, who downloaded an article in an Al Qaeda publication titled "Make a bomb in the kitchen of your mom." No doubt this is the sort of thing we can expect to hear at Dzhokhar's trial, especially if prosecutors seek the death penalty.
(And a quick word about the Boston Herald, which tries to claim that what the Globe published was a politically correct puff piece about the Tsarnaevs — see this, this and this. Just stop, OK? You're embarrassing yourselves and exploiting the victims of the Tsarnaev brothers' act of terrorism. At least Herald columnist Margery Eagan hasn't taken leave of her senses.)
One final point: Even though the Globe published a special eight-page section for its Tsarnaev story, the package was most fully realized online, where it received the large-type/big-art treatment that has become known as the "Snow Fall" effect, after a pioneering New York Times multimedia story. The message is that, increasingly, newspapers are treating their print editions as a secondary medium — even as they continue to bring in most of the advertising revenue.
Abuse — or a terrible mistake?
If it hadn't been for the Tsarnaev package, I imagine the big news of the week would be Neil Swidey and Patricia Wen's report (here and here) about Justina Pelletier, a 14-year-old from Connecticut who was taken to Children's Hospital with what had been diagnosed as a metabolic disorder.
Doctors at the hospital concluded that Justina was actually the victim of "medical child abuse" at the hands of her parents. They placed the girl in a locked psychiatric unit for months while they tried to figure out what to do next. It is a harrowing and horrifying story, and it's difficult to know who's right and who's wrong. But there are some strong suggestions that Children's made a terrible mistake:
Justina's older sister had been diagnosed with a milder form of metabolic disease, yet was living at home with no apparent issues.
Justina's condition did not improve in the absence of her parents.
Dr. Mark Korson, a Tufts physician who had provided the initial diagnosis, was treated with contempt by Children's and not allowed to participate in Justina's treatment.
One inescapable conclusion: If the people at Children's now harbor doubts about their actions, they dare not admit it because of the legal and professional ramifications. The case is as yet unresolved, and I look forward to learning more.
Billy Baker's tweets of hope
Finally, there is Billy Baker's remarkable series of tweets, which he began after learning that George Huynh had been accepted into Yale. Baker profiled George and his older brother, Johnny, two years ago. They were both attending Boston Latin School and were determined to rise up despite the suicide of their father and the mental illness of their mother. It began as simply as this:
I'm going to tell you a story.
— Billy Baker (@billy_baker) December 16, 2013
It turns out that Baker had stayed in touch with the Huynh brothers after his story was published and had become something of a mentor to them. The tweets tell a full, deeply moving story, ending with George's smiling face.
I'm not sure Twitter is the best tool for narrative journalism, but Baker made it work. And he put a smile on everyone's face just before Christmas.
Correction: I misspelled Swidey's name in the original post.
Filipov touches a chord
On September 13, 2008 By Dan KennedyIn Uncategorized
David Filipov discovers that his piece about visiting Ground Zero for the first time touched a chord. He even hears from a woman who talked with his father at Logan Airport the morning of the terrorist attacks.
He writes: "The conversation went just as I had always imagined it: Dad talked her up, told him the story of his life, and bragged about his three sons."
He still can't write about it
On September 11, 2008 By Dan KennedyIn Uncategorized8 Comments
What struck me about David Filipov's account in today's Boston Globe of his first visit to Ground Zero is that he still can't bring himself to write about his father's death on Sept. 11, 2001.
That's what his piece is purportedly about; but it isn't, as he instead interviews a security guard, two young women from Kazakhstan, a student — anyone, really, who pulls him away from his grief.
It's a moving piece, because it's a reminder of how difficult Filipov and thousands of others still find it to come to terms with what happened on that day.
The online version includes a link to a Filipov piece that was published in the Globe on Oct. 11, 2001, which he filed from Afghanistan.
Driving to work this morning, I started thinking about how much it seemed as it did seven years ago — clear and cool, a perfect September day. It's become a cliché, but it's the truth: Just as all people in our parents' generation know exactly where they were and what they were doing on Dec. 7, 1941, so will all of us remember what happened seven years ago today.

Denver Broncos defensive end Shelby Harris likes the sense of urgency he sees in his team at Organized team Activities.
"Everyone has something to prove," he said. "There is competition at every level.
Perhaps the area on the team with the most depth is the defensive line.
"It pushes everyone to be the best that they can be at every practice," Harris said. "You can't take any days off. You've got to prepare and do everything like you job depends on it. Which is does for a lot of guys. I love the atmosphere. I love the competitiveness. And I that this is OTA No. 5--having a great time out there. We're working and getting better every day."
After finishing 5-11 and last in the AFC West last season, there is a lot of room for improvement on the team.
"People are playing toward their strengths this year," Harris said. "We're going to have guys rushing the passer. We're going to have guys trying to stop guys from catching the ball and everything. I like what we're doing this year a lot. I feel like it fits our strengths a lot more.
"We added a little bit more. So, we'll see once we actually get to real competition. Because everything was good during OTAs. Everything from OTAs it's like, 'Oh yeah! We're going to win the Super Bowl 100-0 (laughing).' But we've got to wait until we actually start getting some live competition. And then judge it from there."
Look no further than last season, to drive home Harris' point about OTAs not being a barometer of the upcoming season.
"We looked great during the preseason. Undefeated, the practice against the 49ers--we all did well," Harris said about last season. "It's a continuous effort to get better during the season. You've got to prove yourself every week in this league. You can't ever thrive off of the Super Bowl they won a couple of years ago. Because most of those guys aren't here anymore. It's a continuous effort every week to prove that you're the best that you can be, and the best in the league. Which I feel like we can do."

Hogwarts Legacy iPhone Mobile iOS Version Full Crack Game Free Download
By Down Push
About This Game of Store in details Review:
An open-world action role-playing game, Hogwarts Legacy is based on the fictional universe that was initially presented in the Harry Potter book series. Start off on a trip that will take you to both familiar and unfamiliar locales as you investigate and find magical monsters, personalise your character and brew potions, learn to cast spells like a pro, improve your skills, and evolve into the wizard you've always dreamed of being.
Spend some time at Hogwarts in the nineteenth century. Your wizarding world character is a student who is in possession of the answer to an age-old mystery that poses a danger to the whole wizarding world. Establish alliances, engage in combat with evil wizards, and, in the end, decide the course of the wizarding world. What you leave behind is entirely up to you. Learn to thrive in the unwritten.
Although Hogwarts Legacy does not have multiplayer, there is a bright side to this cloud.
The frequently asked questions section on the official website for Hogwarts Legacy states that the game is a single-player adventure that does not contain any features of multiplayer or co-op play.
Because multiplayer typically poses difficult technological issues that need to be accounted for from the very beginning of development, it is highly doubtful that it will be possible to add it to the game through an update. It's feasible that the game's emphasis on character choices and an in-depth plot might be incompatible with a cooperative experience, but it's not impossible to find a solution to this conundrum. However, none of this precludes the possibility of a multiplayer mode appearing in a potential sequel.
Fans of the Wizarding World may look forward to additional mobile and console games based on the Wizarding World thanks to the Portkey Games label, which was introduced alongside the release of Hogwarts Legacy by WB Games. There are no additional games that will be released by this label that have been revealed, but it demonstrates a commitment to publishing more games set in the Harry Potter universe. This leaves the door open for the development of future Hogwarts co-op games.
Despite the absence of multiplayer, it appears that Hogwarts Legacy will be successful in conveying the atmosphere of the Harry Potter universe. It includes a new scenario in which you are tasked with putting down a goblin uprising, the opportunity to tame and ride magical creatures, and the capability to create your very own Hogwarts student in terms of both their physical appearance and their level of magical aptitude.

Support Recreational Access in Public Lands
Ben Alteneder | April 22, 2015
Ben Alteneder, Board member for the Arizona Wildlife Federation, speaks with Interior Secretary Salazar at Grand Canyon National Park. Photo by Ben Alteneder
From the Mogollon Rim to the Coronado Forest, from Escudilla Mountain to the San Pedro River riparian area, hunting, fishing and wildlife watching are long traditions that drive many of the rural economies of the Grand Canyon State. According to the most recent U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Survey on wildlife related recreation more than 2.1 Million people hunt, fish and wildlife watch in Arizona. A significant percentage of this activity occurs on public lands. Unfortunately large swaths of this public land, particularly in southern Arizona, are "landlocked" by privately owned land and not legally accessible by public means such as established right-of-ways, easements or agreements.
A solution to this public access problem is pending before Congress. The Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) established 50 years ago is a bipartisan conservation delivery system that is financed by off-shore oil and gas revenues. This program, which conserves irreplaceable lands and improves outdoor recreation opportunities throughout the nation, is up for reauthorization and it's important that LWCF be fully funded to provide the unmet conservation needs of the sportsmen and conservation community.
Additionally, LWCF must also continue supporting the Coconino National Forest which includes the 56,000-acre Sycamore Canyon Wilderness area. The Forest Service uses funds from the Land and Water Conservation Fund and the Federal Land Transaction Facilitation Act (FLTFA) to protect an area known as the Packard Ranch property where two important streams, the Verde River and Sycamore Creek meet. These waters are home to threatened and endangered fish species such as the Gila trout and must be preserved.

The legislation before Congress specifically authorizes a percentage of revenue to be dedicated to providing access to these public lands throughout the west and in Arizona. It's important that sportsmen and conservationists let their member of Congress know that sportsmen depend on the public access and quality habitat that LWCF provides.
Urge your member of Congress to support the Land and Water Conservation Fund!

Q: Is it possible to recover a computer from a failed BIOS update? While attempting the update the BIOS on an Asus motherboard, i learned the Asus Update Utility for Windows doesn't fully support Windows 64-bit.  It was able to erase the BIOS without problems, but failed to write the new BIOS. i knew that when i next rebooted the computer: it would be a brick.
When i rebooted the computer, it was a brick. But before i rebooted i transferred the bios backup, the new bios, and Asus DOS-based flash utility to another computer. Now the problem is how to fix it.
This Asus motherboard has a fail-safe bios recovery called Crash Free BIOS, where you put in a floppy or USB stick containing a file called p5b.rom and it will restore the bios from that file. But that doesn't work.
Is there any way to unbrick the machine?

A: The following is from ASUS P5B Deluxe Bios Recovery SPI Flash Cable, but reproduced here for Wiki-sake:

WARNING: Never use the ASUS Windows based bios flash utility. There have been scores of people with the same issue, if only I had known before hand.
Skip down the HOWTO for the good stuff.
In perhaps a moment of great stupidity and laziness, I reflashed the bios on my ASUS P5B Deluxe using the ASUS windows based flash utility. It wiped it clean, loaded the new one, and then it couldn't verify. At this point your only two options are quit or retry. So I retry, now it won't even try to write the bios. Having no other choice I rebooted the machine and hoped for the best. I got the worst.
The machine wouldn't do anything. The motherboard is supposed to have a built in bios recovery mode, but it seems that was wiped out as well by the Windows flash utility. It was time to send it back to ASUS so they could reflash it. The bios isn't removable, so surely there's some kind of device they plug into to reflash it for you I thought.
It turns out I was right. Next to the BIOS chip, to the left of the south bridge, is an undocumented 7 pin connector labeled SPI_J1. After a lot research I stumbled upon a few pages (linked at the bottom) that documented the type of cable necessary and the software to use this port to reflash the bios.
The cable consists of a parallel connector wired to something you can plug into the pins that also has a 2.7V-3.6V input to power the chip while reflashing it. I made a really bad attempt at using a chopped up parallel cable and the ends from a USB header port thing. This didn't work out well so I found at the local electronics store a parallel connector with a ribbon cable on it. I took it apart and re-soldered the ribbon to the correct pins.
To get the ~3V, I took a pass through power connector from an old case fan and added three diodes to the 5V wire, giving me a little over 3V. I then wired this to the ribbon cable and hooked the power connector into another running machine. I then used my laptop to flash to bios.
HOWTO:
Supplies:

*

*A DOS boot cd, usb drive, or floppy

*BIOS ROM for the motherboard

*SPIPGM (Software that does the flashing)

*CWSDPMI (DPMI host process needed by SPIPGM)

*Multimeter

*Soldering Iron

*Male DB25 connector

*Header connector of some sort, you'll need 6 pins total.

To make the cable I used a DB25M TO IDC10 SERIAL connector. This really seems like the easiest thing to use. They look like this:

The header is found on the motherboard directly to the left of the south bridge.

Here is how the header pins are numbered:

Here is a table showing which header pins should be connected to what parallel pins. Pin 1 on the header is for +3V.
Header Pin Parallel Pin
========== ============
2          18
3          7
4          8
5          10
6          9

Here's what my cable looks like (Note: it looks like the power lead is connected to the DB25 but in fact it is solder to the ribbon, it goes to pin 1 on the header)

If you use a cable similar to mine, open it up and desolder the ribbon from the connector. Take a paper clip and stick it into the holes in the header connector to determine which lead needs to go to what pin on the DB25 using your multimeter. Solder each lead appropriately.
You then need to get a 5V line from another computer (The Red wire on a molex connector). Solder three diodes in series and connect them to the 5V line. Use your multimeter to ensure the voltage drop gives you between 2.7V and 3.6V. Solder this to the appropriate ribbon lead.
Now that you're ready to flash, boot your flashing computer with your DOS boot media. First, you need to run cwsdpmi.exe, then run spipgm. (Note: you have to run cwsdpmi.exe before SPIPGM each time.)
spipgm /p p5b-bios.rom

It will ask for the total size of the flashrom, enter 1024
If SPIPGM reports your chip id as fffffffh then something isn't right. Check all your connections. SPIPGM has several functions, such as erasing the BIOS first. Run SPIPGM without any options to see a list.

Giving credit where credit is due, without these sites I never would have figured this out.

Update
It wasn't until I downloaded spipgm2, and used the /S, instead of the /P command, that I was successful in returning my gigantic paperweight to a computer again.
It seems that SPIPGM.exe by itself writes a page at a time to the SST chip in the Asus P5B boards. You must use either the recompiled spipgm.exe or, even better, use the spipgm2.exe. You can build the cable without any resistors or capacitors, as long as you use the orange (3V) output from the surrogate PC's ATX power supply.
Then you must use the /S switch:
 spipgm2.exe /S xxxxxx.ROM

to write to the chip after you unlock it with /U and erase with /E. This is the only thing that worked for me and I am back up and running perfectly.
You must use the /s (slow) switch with this to program the SST chip in the ASUS P5-Series boards. Apparently, the /p switch used in the original SPIPGM.EXE doesn't do it slow enough, or a bit at a time; which is what the SST chip needs for a successful reflash.
To boot the program I made two floppy disks, one with a Windows 98 SE boot disk, and the second with the spipgm2 program and the bios image file (.rom extension).

To flash the bios I used the following parameters:

*

*spipgm2 /i to make sure that the program can read my chipset and the cable is ok.

*spipgm2 /u to unlock the bios.

*spipgm2 /e to erase the bios.

*spipgm2 /s p5b.rom to flash the new bios.

When it finished, I tried to boot the dead motherboard and it worked!
Bonus Diagram

A: Sounds like you have a hardware conflict of some sort.  Try this:

*

*Remove all cards from all slots in your system.  Video, RAID, Network, Sound, etc.  Pay attention to what card was in what slot.

*Put your BIOS disk or USB stick in the drive/slot BEFORE you turn on the power.

*Turn on your PC.  You should see your recovery BIOS working or it will say something like "bad bios"... something like that.  In any case... it should boot up to an A: prompt.

*Run your flash utility now and select the option to write your BIOS.  I don't remember the option but there's one in there to write the BIOS without ESCD or something.  (Its really tough to mess things up worse than they are right now so if one option doesn't work try the other) ;-)

*Go through all the prompts saying "Yes write, yes overwrite, etc, etc."

*Once the BIOS update is done, reboot your computer.  It should be working "normally" right now.  If it is turn it OFF and...

*Put all the cards you removed in step 1 back into the computer.
Fire it up again... it should work.

A: I confirm I successfully programmed my flash IC for an ASUS P8H67-M-PRO.
Same as others, I tried to update the bios with the bios utility. It finished the process, rebooted and... nothing, a black screen.
I built the parallel adapter, I added a 3.3vdc power supply and used it to program my flash memory chip.
First I compared it's content with the ROM image and I realised that most of the ic content was #FF (erased but not programmed).
The using the same app SPIPGM I programmed it, I tested and my motherboard is working OK with itś latest BIOS release.
Thanks for your support, I just wanted to tell my story for others to try.
Regards,

A: If the "Crash Free BIOS" update fails to work, an alternate method is to remove the BIOS ROM chip from the board (usually they are socketed, but some are soldered down) and program the part directly with a ROM programmer using a binary image of the BIOS. I don't expect you have the tools (soldering iron, ROM programmer) readily available, but their ASUS' repair depot should. From the ASUS website, they have a 3 year warranty on the motherboard. You might want to try out their services.

A: There are some great suggestions here, but odds are you don't have the gear to fix (reflash) the rom on your own.
If you only tried the USB option for crash free then you should try floppy or CD. The CD that came with your mobo also has the base rom on it and you should be able to use that as well (or burn yours to a cd). If you already tried floppy/cd then it's toast.
I had the exact same problem a couple years back (but I didn't use the Windows App) and since it was still under warranty I just sent it back because if I had pulled my rom I would have voided my warranty. The turnaround on my replacement was 10 days (not business days).

A: I had the exact same error. It booted and was trying to access the bios.rom via floppy disk, but it stopped half way trough. Use version 1803 (606.11 KBytes - 2007/11/30 Link to the BIOS download page), anything above wont work.

A: Use an older operating system, for example Windows 98.
Boot from disk and if your keyboard is active, you will get an A: prompt. Then, type in the path for the flash drive and continue to the rom.
This usually works with a boot floppy.

A: Just an FYI I used to work for ASUS a long time ago and the easiest fix for this it to call Tech Support they will be more them happy to send you a new bios chip flashed with the proper bios (that you request) as long as it is a board that has the removable bios chip.

3 LASU staff arraigned for extortion, forgery
Wumi Akinbode
News Agency of Nigeria
Three staff of Lagos State University (LASU) were arraigned, on Thursday, before the state Chief Magistrate Court, Ebute-Metta, Oyingbo, over alleged abuse of office, forgery and extortion.

Uwadione said that Raji and Ajose presented a false West African Examination Certificate (WAEC), to LASU authority to gain employment, which they knew to be false.
He also alleged that Ajose obtained the sum of N20,000, from one Kingsley Azubike, under false pretence that he would help him to remove his fake O Level WAEC Certificate, he used to gain employment into the institution, a representation he knew to be false.
The prosecutor said, "Mubin Raji forged West African Examination Certificate (WAEC) O Level result and submitted same which gave him employment into the Lagos State University in year 2011, with intent that it may be used or acted as genuine."
"Bankole Odofin received monies from students of the Lagos State University to alter their results and also upgrade marks for them " He said.

Death of an Apprentice by Andrew Szava-Kovats
This autobiographical novel follows the career of a civil engineering apprentice, from childhood to middle age. Along the way, we get to see the inner workings of the profession, from the nuts and bolts of civil engineering and surveying, their technological transformation, to the death of the apprenticeship system. It's a mysterious world that few laymen know. And yet we are all surrounded by their work everywhere, every day.
The apprentice takes a complex, twisted path in and out of the world of civil engineering as he pursues other career opportunities and artistic ambitions in the worlds of painting and music.
It's a story of modern times, reduced opportunities, the "trickle-up economy" and people denied entry into professions now restricted to the "degreed class".
