Without star Joel Embiid, 76ers roll past Wizards, 129-112, in Game 5 to advance to second round
By Dan Gelston
PHILADELPHIA — Ben Simmons challenged Seth Curry during an afternoon "Call of Duty" session to score 30 points and send the 76ers into the next round of the playoffs. With Joel Embiid hurt, Simmons told Curry he would do his part and get a triple-double.
Maybe there's something to this pregame gaming hobby.
"Clearly Seth listens to Ben so we're going to use Ben as a translator for Seth from this point forward," Sixers coach Doc Rivers said.
Fire up the console for another round.
Curry scored a playoff career-high 30 points and Philadelphia beat Washington, 129-112, on Wednesday night to end the Easter Conference series in five games, overcoming Embiid's absence because of a knee injury.
Atlanta awaits after beating New York in Game 5 later Wednesday. Game 1 is Sunday in Philadelphia.
Sixers fans couldn't wait, chanting "We want Brooklyn!" as the seconds ticked off in Game 5.
Embiid gets a few extra days of rest.
With an NBA title still in sight, the 76ers will need their injured franchise center — healthy and ready to roll — in the second round against Atlanta.
"Jo's been huge for us all year. It's only right we give him as much time as he needs to get right and come back and help us win it all," Curry said.
Tobias Harris added 28 points and teamed with Curry and Simmons to carry the offensive load with Embiid out. Simmons had 19 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds to keep the top-seeded 76ers in the hunt for their first championship since 1983.
Embiid is day to day with a small lateral meniscus tear in his right knee and he was reduced to Philadelphia's biggest cheerleader as the Sixers put the misery of last season's first-round sweep behind them.
Embiid gave a sneak peek that the injury suffered in a Game 4 loss might not keep him out very long. The NBA Most Valuable Player candidate had the crowd going wild when he hit the court for pregame warmups. He shot jumpers around the perimeter, fadeaways, even some free throws — all without any sort of noticeable knee brace under his white leggings — and put on a show that proved his absence might not last beyond Game 5.
Rivers, in his first season, said he expected Embiid to return in the postseason.
"I don't know when or how early," he said. "I'm hopeful. I think that's a better way of putting it."
Led again by Russell Westbrook and Bradley Beal, the Wizards were hopeful they could the could take advantage of Embiid's absence and force a return home for Game 6.
"Nobody expected us to take them to five," Beal said. "I strongly in my heart believe we could have taken them to seven."
With the first capacity crowd this season allowed at Wells Fargo Center -- there were 15,523 in the house — the Sixers shook of a slow start and had the place rocking late in the first half when Simmons hit Harris for a 3 and their first lead of the night. Ben Simmons — staunchly defended by Rivers after a slew of missed free throws in Game 4 — hung tight from the line when the Wizards tried to Hack-A-Ben him again.
He also did what he does best, create plays and make his attacks to the rim look silky smooth. He even made 5 of 8 from the free-throw line.
Simmons, who missed 15 of 20 free throws over the first four games, drew Westbrook's third foul in third. Westbrook complained to the referees all night and had four fouls through three quarters. Beal scored 32 points and Westbrook had 24.
The Sixers needed all the scoring help they could and they found plenty from super-sub Tyrese Maxey. Maxey scored nine points in the first half at a time when the Sixers needed some juice to keep pace with the Wizards. Maxey, a rookie out of Kentucky, hit the rim in traffic with pizzaz and fans erupted with each basket. He's an instant fan favorite and played the bulk of the starter's minutes in the first half.
Beal and Westbrook, playing his first game in Philly since a fan dumped popcorn on him in Game 2, could call the season a win after just getting the Wizards to the playoffs after a 17-32 record in early April.
"I just wanted to come to a place and change the culture. Bring my energy, my leadership, and make the guys around here better," Westbrook said. "I feel like I was able to accomplish that."
Unselfish and on a mission, the Sixers expect so much more.
Sixers fans broke out "Trust the Process!" chants over the final minutes and the laborious rebuilding plan that brought the franchise Embiid and Simmons will surely need both of them to finish the job.
BACK FOR MORE?
Scott Brooks could have coached in his final game in Washington with his five-year $35 million contract expired. Brooks said he wanted to stay in Washington.
"Me, personally, I don't see why Scott should go anywhere," Westbrook said.
Wizards: With David Bertans out the rest of the series with a strained right calf, Raul Neto got the start. ... No NBA team has won a playoff series with a losing record since the 1987 Seattle SuperSonics. The Wizards made it 31 straight postseason series losses for teams with losing records.
76ers: Meek Mill received a wild ovation when he rang the ceremonial bell. ... Curry's previous high in a postseason game was 22 against the Clippers on Aug. 21, 2020. ... Outscored Washington's bench 40-19.

Thinking solely about time management? Try thinking about effectiveness instead by managing your time, energy, and attention.
This is largely the foundation of the idea of heatmapping your productivity and of the engagement threshold. In each case, time is only one factor — with energy and attention being the others.
Thinking in terms of time, energy, and attention is important because many of us operate as if more time equals more capacity, when in reality it often doesn't.
We like to think in terms of time because it's a lot easier than trying to evaluate the trinity of time, energy, and attention — our TEA — especially since time is objectively measurable. If we're in a scenario where others are directly or indirectly evaluating our output, a dutifully completed time card is a safe fallback because, as we've already observed, more time at work equals more work done. And, in fairness, it's hard to gauge someone else's energy and attention from the outside when you're in a large organization, so the time card gives us something to go by.
What I'm saying here isn't anything new, either in my own thinking or in that of others. The huge body of work on time management and efficiency tends to focus on creating processes and systems that increase available time by decreasing the time seepage that often happens with our work. And so on.

Home/News/Catholic bishop kidnapped in Cameroon has been released
Catholic bishop kidnapped in Cameroon has been released
Dave Okonjie August 26, 2019
Gunmen Kidnap Archbishop of Bamenda
LAGOS, Nigeria – Catholic church officials in Cameroon say a prominent Catholic bishop kidnapped in the country's volatile English-speaking Northwest region was released late last Saturday.
"Bishop George Nkuo of Kumbo Diocese has been released by his captors. He is back in the parish and in good health," Church's officials said in a prepared statement.
According to sources, armed separatists claimed responsibility for kidnapping the bishop, claiming that they "wanted him to pray and bless us."
The bishop's abduction took place just a week after gunmen kidnapped two Catholic priests in the region.
The kidnapping of priests in Cameroon has become widespread in the region since armed conflict began in 2017.
Cameroon's Northwest and Southwest regions are English-speaking, while about 80 percent of the country is French-speaking. Separatists in the two English-speaking regions of the country have been battling the Cameroonian government forces to secede and establish a separate state.
Since the secession effort started about 530,000 people got displaced internally and hundreds killed by the conflict, according to the United Nations.

Proud Of My Profession
It seems theatres in both DC and NY are feeling the spirit of giving this holiday season. That's not always the case, so it's nice to see.
Theatres in the District usually do their best to accommodate schedule conflicts with each other. Usually. If a stage actor is having a particularly buoyant period in his career here, he is likely to have gigs lined up back-to-back. (I don't include myself in that group: my career is rarely buoyant; like the S.S. Poseidon, I am more likely in need of extra ballast. But that's not what this entry is about.) It is not unusual for an actor's gigs to overlap a bit. The last week or so of his current performances may very well overlap with the first week or so of rehearsals for his next gig. Theatres in the area, particularly the small and mid-level ones, do their best to accommodate such conflicts. There is nothing more frustrating for an actor than finding that he must decline 6-8 weeks of employment due to a possible 1-2 week extension of a show which has yet to open. (I'm sad to report that that instance has happened more than once around here, but again, that's not what this entry is about).
Much more frequently, theatres in the region try to work these schedule glitches out, in order to keep the talent they want. Several years ago, I encountered such a glitch. In fact, the actual runs of the two shows in question coincided, but it took only a little maneuvering to keep me in both productions. I was in the Spring Company of Shear Madness at the Kennedy Center, a gig I have done more than once and very much enjoy. Shear is extremely popular with the tourist trade, and during the spring months, demand for tickets is so great that the producers hire a full second company to handle the overflow. The Second Company generally works four days a week (Mon-Thurs), with the curtain going up at 5 PM and coming down at 7. The Madness folks consider this a part-time gig, as indeed it is, so they are prepared to work around the schedules of the actors involved, as much as possible.
In this instance, I was also contracted to appear in Opus at the Washington Stage Guild, in performances which ran simultaneously with Shear. Luckily, Opus ran Thursday - Sunday, so the only problem spot was Thursday. I commend both theatre companies for doing their best for me, so I could do both shows. The folks at Shear even went so far as to offer to have a taxi waiting for me at the front of the Kennedy Center, ready to whisk me to the Stage Guild downtown (it turned out it was quicker for me to just leap into my own car and drive like a maniac). So, on Thursdays, I would finish the Madness a few minutes before 7:00, dash downstairs to the garage (I received special dispensation from Shear to leave the theatre in costume on Thursdays, so I would not waste time changing clothes), and head across town to the 7:30 performance of Opus. I was never late for the curtain, and the gang at the Stage Guild yielded the union requirement that I arrive at the theatre half an hour before the curtain went up. Thanks to both Shear Madness and the Washington Stage Guild, I was able to do both shows.
This memory popped into my head recently as I heard about other concessionary tales of late. When Arena Stage's Oklahoma lost their leading lady only a few days before opening night, they turned to local dynamo Eleasha Gamble to step in. Eleasha was due to begin rehearsals at Fords Theatre for their perennial A Christmas Carol, but the Powers at Fords generously released their award-winning actress from her commitment (Eleasha won the Helen Hayes award for her performance in Fords's The Civil War, below) so she could head west in that surrey with the fringe on top.
Oklahoma was already generating national attention, as it was the premiere production in the newly renovated Arena, and this last-minute swap added to the excitement. The reviews have been stellar, New York producers have been down to determine if a Broadway transfer is possible, and our local gal Gamble has offered even more proof that the DC talent pool stands up to national scrutiny. (This is not the first time Arena Stage, or other DC theatres for that matter, has hired a New York actor, only to have to scramble to replace that actor when she bales. The DC replacement shines, pointedly proving that local theatres, even the big ones, should be casting local talent in the first place. Oops, this is not what this entry is about, either...)
I may have, in journalistic parlance, "buried the lead" here, as the following story was the inspiration for this blog entry. Did you hear about it? Sara Jean Ford, who is currently playing the female lead in Broadway's Phantom of the Opera, was spending the day at jury duty when she got the phone call which ignited more excitement than sitting in the holding box. The call was from her manager, who reported that over at Broadway's A Little Night Music, they were having a very bad day.
The actresses playing Anne (the ingenue) and Petra (the maid) were both out ill, and the female swing had taken a personal day off. Someone thought of tracking down Ford to see if she could help. Ford had been in A Little Night Music over the summer, playing one of those nosey quintet of singers who comment on the action and who, at least in this production, understudy the stars. Ford had understudied the role of Petra, but had never gone on.
Here's the part of the story which warms my heart, and makes me glad to be spending my life in the theatre, around people like this. Sara Jean was willing to help, but of course, she was expected onstage in Phantom that night. The management at Phantom, in a pretty swell spirit of Good Samaritanism, released Ford and allowed her standby to go on in her place (this is not all that alarming, as the women who play Christine in Phantom only do 6 shows a week, with their standby performing the other 2. We really should call her the alternate, rather than the standby. Ford's replacement was already doing performance duty in the role.) Nevertheless, the folks at Phantom had every right in the world to expect their star to perform as scheduled. Instead, they extended a helping hand to their competitors down the street.
Ford had to finish her jury duty commitment, so she had less than two hours to dash over to Night Music, run through a few little bits, and hit the stage as Petra. That role is one of the smaller ones in the show, but sings "The Miller's Son" near the end of act two, a number which is well-known and is always highly anticipated. You might call it the 11:00 number, if that pesky "Send in the Clowns" thing weren't there.
And in an instance like this, when the replacement went on without warning, Ford was of course expected to sing the song in the standard key (if you've ever heard "The Miller's Son," you know it is octaves lower than anything the soprano Christine sings in Phantom. This gal must have some pipes!)
The performance went off without a hitch, and in fact, Sara Jean played in Night Music the following day as well (which was a two-show Wednesday). Her alternate continued playing Christine down the street. The more I think about the generosity of spirit which this situation reveals, the more tingly I get. Here was Ford, playing the leading role in Broadway's longest running show, feeling a sense of altruism toward a former employer, and helping them out by playing three performances of a much smaller role. (And the fact that she had no rehearsal before leaping into the fray? That's the Actors' Nightmare.)
So, kudos all around, to Sara Jean Ford, to the Powers at Phantom and at Night Music, to everybody involved in making this switcheroo work so both shows could go on. It makes me proud to be in the theatre.

This depends on the context, usage and the code relating to the icons.
For example, a PDF icon that accompanies a link text of 'download the PDF version' would be considered decorative as all the information you need is in the link text. An isolated PDF icon with no associated text describing the purpose of the image (just the icon) would be considered functional.
The image icon that breadcrumb navigation often uses to divide each link in the trail would also be considered decorative. However, a homepage-link in the breadcrumb trail presented as an 'image of a house' - or something to that effect - would be considered functional.
Therefore, if the icon has a purpose beyond looking nice, it requires an accessible name as a text alternative to the information conveyed visually in the image.
A simple way to test this is to disable images in your browser settings and determine if you still need the icons to understand or use the page. There are free Chrome extensions that allow you to easily disable images for testing purposed.

Philip and Thomas Farrell, authors of the highly anticipated "An Illustrated History of Siesta Key" signed their book at a wine tasting at the Crescent Beach Grocery on Wednesday, March 20. The Farrells combined two years of archival research and personal interviews into the definitive work on America's best beach. The book covers a time span of over 3,000 years from the Island's geological past through the occupation of American Indians, the intermittent occupation by the Spanish and Cubans followed by pioneer settlers and developers.
Philip Farrell's earliest memories of the Key begin in the 1950s. His grandson, Thomas, experienced a much more developed Key, but is equally smitten with the beauty and unique history of the island.
Philip Farrell is Emeritus Dean and Professor of Pediatrics and Population Health Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Medicine and Public Health. He and his wife, Alice, have vacationed on the Key for the past 13 years.
Thomas Farrell graduated in 2017 from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee with a double major in history and anthropology. He is especially interested in Native American history and cultures.
The wine tasting benefited the Friends of the Sarasota County History Center. Many of the descendants of Harry Lee Higel, Mayor of Sarasota and original developer of Siesta Key, were in attendance.


Etos, short for Evan's photos, is the work of Evan Jones of Atlanta, GA. Originally from Allentown, Pennsylvania, Evan moved to the South to attend Georgia Tech for electrical engineering in Fall of 2008 and has stayed in Atlanta ever since. As the founder of Sideways Promotions, he was fed up with paying for mediocre event photography services, so he started doing it himself and never looked back. His outgoing personality and love for capturing people carried him from event and music photography to portraits and weddings.

Fantastic facts about Warner Brother Studio Tours
When it comes to the magic of cinema, it doesn't get much better than Harry Potter. Transferring JK Rowling's incredible books to the big screen has created the most successful film series of all time. Luckily, once filming wrapped, many of the sets, props and costumes were saved, so today fans from all over the world can experience the magic of the eight films.
As we delve into the the history of Warner Brothers Studio Tour, we'll unearth the facts about this award-winning tour that will inspire even the most die-hard Muggle.
Iconic sets faithfully recreated
One of the most fascinating aspects of the films is the 588 sets created in the 10 years of production. Many of these, you can see on the tour. The Great Hall, which seats more than 400 children, is impressively recreated. Check out the intricate detail and the wall-mounted flambeaux that still work. The house-point counter contains tens of thousands of Indian glass beads and allegedly caused a national bead shortage. And the biggest surprise of all is the ceiling. Look closely and you'll realise there isn't one – just a small model with some digital trickery.
A world of props
There's a host of amazing props on the tour. The cupboard under the stairs, where the story of Harry Potter begins, is filled with treasures from his life before Hogwarts, many taken from the set designer's own basement. Spot Harry's spectacles on the side, just one of the 160 pairs he used during film making. You'll find more than 900 peculiar jars and bottles of ingredients in the potions classroom. They're filled with all kinds of dried plants, herbs, bones, even plastic animal toys from Regents' Park Zoo gift shop. And, of course, no wizard is complete without a wand, and you'll see all the main characters' wands magnificently displayed here.
Finding your own Potter magic
Immerse yourself in the magic, becoming a champion Quidditch seeker. There are 15 golden snitches hidden in the studios, often in the most unlikely of places. While you're here, grab the chance to learn wand moves from an expert. You'll soon be feeling like a true wizard before taking your OWL (Ordinary Wizarding Level).
Find out the secret behind green-screen technology used in all the films, climbing aboard your very own Nimbus 2000 or Firebolt and soaring over the Hogwarts Express, the River Thames and the streets of London just like the cast did during filming. Armed with your complimentary activity passport collecting stamps at key points, such as Platform 9¾ and Gringotts Bank, you'll soon feel part of the action.
Get close to the people and the costumes
Personally welcoming you to the tour are the three main stars of the show in a short film, and many of their costumes are on display. Hermione's iconic Yule Ball gown took three months to create, using 12 metres of chiffon. Ron Weasley's outfit, on the other hand, was made from old carpet fabric! The iconic pointed hat worn by the students of Beauxbatons was designed and produced by renowned milliner Philip Treacy. Cast and crew feature heavily on the tour. All the boxes in Ollivander's are labelled, and even the magical wizard portraits lining the walls of Hogwarts are paintings of those who worked on the films, as a thank-you for their hard work.
Discover the secret behind the effects
See animatronic versions of all the key characters. Taking inspiration from the Golden eagle, Buckbeak the Hippogriff was painstakingly created feather by feather. Similarly, each of Aragog's hairs – created by broom bristles to pieces of coconut – were inserted by hand using a special needle, across the model's 18-foot legspan.
Many characters, from Gringotts Goblins to Hagrid, used prosthetics. Hagrid's prosthetic head is unnervingly real and was used whenever Hagrid needed to look really tall. And the fantastic model of Hogwarts at the end of the tour really is something to be seen. A team of 86 artists took 74 years of work hours to create it. Walk around it and you'll really appreciate the level of breathtaking detail used to such a great effect on screen.
Wizardly refreshments
After all that, relax with the film's famous drink, Butterbeer. This popular beverage was served at numerous locations in the wizarding world, with Hogwarts students often buying it in Hogsmeade. For us mere mortals, this is one of only three places in the world we can drink it. Savour its sweet, butterscotchy taste served in decorative tankards that you can take home.
Don't miss the amazing graphic design of all the sweets and tricks from Sugarplum's Sweet Shop and Weasley's Wizard Wheezes. Taste the best and worst of Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans here, too. You've every taste, including some you definitely wouldn't want to try, such as earwax and rotten egg.
You visit to Warner Bros Studios Tour really is a magical treat for the senses, loaded with fascinating experiences you'll never forget.

Q: Socket.IO sending message to server but won't send anything back to client This has been driving me a little nuts over the past day, and after extensive research I still can't figure out.
I setup a Socket.io as shown in this question Using socket.io in Express 4 and express-generator's /bin/www
In my server code (app.js), I have the following:
io.on('connection', function (socket) {
  console.log("connected!");
  socket.emit('all',{});
});

Then in my client code (index.jade), I have the following:
var socket = io();
socket.on('all', function (data) {
  console.log("here");
});

Unfortunately, when visiting index.
GET / 200 398.555 ms - 3957
GET /stylesheets/style.css 304 1.913 ms - -
connected!

Basically, my server sees my client, but my client won't receive anything from my server?? Btw, if I try localhost in my io, I won't even see the "connected!" event.
var socket = io.connect('http://localhost:3000/');
socket.on('all', function (data) {
  console.log("here");
});

A: As said by Jose in the comments, I wasn't looking at the right place for my logs. The socket is working fine!

A new patch was released today for the much maligned PC port of Chrono Trigger. The game has already received a couple updates to make the Battle UI look more like its console counterparts as well as allow for the original graphics style, but today's update furthers that focus with changes to the UI on the world map and in towns, shops, and dungeons. We think it looks pretty great.
The team also mentions that a fourth update will focus on further UI changes, as well as the ability to remap button on both keyboard as well as with controllers. The original release of Chrono Trigger's Steam Port was largely criticized, but we're happy to see the feedback taken to heart.
Whilst moving on the world map, in towns and in dungeons.
How options in dialog are displayed.
Whilst selecting a time period to visit.
You can now flip between pages within menus with single button presses.
Available techs are immediately updated when recovering MP.
The duration the explanation window is shown at the top of the screen has been extended.
Changes have been made to the priority for which information is shown first when there are multiple messages in explanation windows.
A bug where some controls would still respond while the game is paused in battle has been fixed.
Following the last update, we've continued to improve gameplay speed in areas where it previously slowed down.
The difficulty has been made more forgiving in specific mini games during story events.
Controller input is now disabled when the game is not active.

Polls close in Brazil's tight presidential election runoff
Akeel
Polls closed Sunday in Brazil's presidential election runoff between former leftist leader Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and the far-right current President Jair Bolsonaro, which has seen the incumbent slightly erode the lead of his challenger in latest opinion surveys.
After opening early Sunday morning, polls closed at 5 p.m. local time (4 p.m. ET), with the country's electronic ballot system set to confirm results about two hours after the voting concludes.
Neither Lula da Silva or Bolsonaro gained over 50% of the votes in the first round on October 2, forcing Sunday's runoff vote.
Lula finished ahead in the initial contest, earning over 6 million votes, and about 5 percentage points, more than Bolsonaro. However, the President stayed ahead in the crucial southeastern states such as São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.
Brazil has more than 156 million people eligible to vote in the election, and voting is mandatory in the country for all people between 18 and 70 years of age. Candidates voted early on Sunday, with Lula voting at a public school in the São Paulo metro Area.
Bolsonaro cast his ballot in Rio de Janeiro early on Sunday morning. Wearing a yellow and green T-shirt, the colors of the Brazilian flag, Bolsonaro said "God willing, we'll be victorious later today. Or even better, Brazil will be victorious," as he voted at a polling station in the Marechal Hermes district of the city.
Lula da Silva supporters thronged São Paulo Avenida Paulista on Sunday evening after polls closed. The mood was celebratory even before the results were called, with street-side vendors selling beer and food.
The election comes amid a tense and polarized political climate in Brazil. The country is currently struggling with high inflation, limited growth and rising poverty.
A poll by Datafolha on Saturday found that 52% of Brazilians would vote for Lula, while 48% would pick Bolsonaro, indicating a narrowing of opinion polls in the weeks leading up to the vote.

Alfonso La Cava opened St James Restaurant in Bushey Village in 1997. Having worked in the restaurant industry for most of his life, his vision was to offer local residents a modern, fine dining experience with the promise of using only the freshest ingredients, carefully selected wines and a menu that would make dining out memorable.
St James offers a Lighter Lunch Menu during the day, an A La Carte Menu for dinner, a Tasting Menu, and Sunday Roast. We have also just launched our small plates menu (available Mon-Fri all day & Saturday lunch). Our latest offering is a journey through the flavours of St James with a delicious variety of medium size dishes (Cicchetti set menu). All of our beautifully presented dishes are inspired by English, European and Asian cuisine and created by the Restaurant's experienced team of chefs. You can expect freshly baked bread on arrival, starters including seared scallops and roast pigeon breast, and mains such as stone bass and confit duck leg. Desserts on offer include limoncello tart with mojito sorbet and our infamous homemade Toblerone Cheesecake! The A La Carte Menu is refreshed every season, whilst retaining a number of our most popular dishes. The Set Menu changes weekly, which gives the regular diner an opportunity to try something new. St James Restaurant now offers a wider range of dishes for our vegetarian and vegan diners.
The Restaurant's latest venture is Betsy's Tea Room, which launched in 2018. The Tea Room serves traditional Afternoon Tea and classic Cream Tea, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free menu options available. St James Restaurant is proud to be one of the longest running independent businesses on Bushey High Street and hopes to continue for many more years to come.

Can't believe how close we are to traveling! These past two days Phillip and I have been running around like crazy trying to finish up work and packing for our two-and-a-half-week-long trip. (I'm trying to sneak this post in real quick before continuing to process client orders!) The girls–especially Jasmine–are super excited about traveling to pick up their little brother. In fact, Jasmine made the above countdown calendar, marking off the days until we leave for China. As you can see, she called our travel day, "WOW" day! And then put "Leo!" real big at the bottom (with the boxed-in exclamation point, thanks to kindergarten writing lessons!).
I've tried to include the girls in the traveling process, allowing them to pack their own backpacks (with our supervision) and bring certain comfort items from home. Jasmine at first chose a certain doll to bring, but then changed her mind and said, "I want to bring this Hello Kitty pillow instead because it's made in China!" And I said to her, "Are you sure, sweetheart? I know you really wanted the other doll. Check her tag, she might be made in China, too." Jasmine proceeds to check the tag of her first choice, and sure enough *gasp*–it was made in China! She then started checking the labels of her other toys and dolls and noticed a trend, "Hey, this one is made in China! and this one! and this one, too!!" Looks like she'll be happy bringing any one of her toys!
Our puzzle fundraiser has gone amazingly well! We are blown away by all the generous donations we received from you guys. We were able to meet our adoption fundraising goal! You have given a total $35,688 in donations. This is such a huge relief and takes a load off as we now dive into the challenging lifelong task of bringing Leo into our family and giving him a sense of belonging. We're not doing any other fundraisers from this point on, but we also want you to know if you were one of those who wanted to be a part of Leo's puzzle and haven't had the chance, we still welcome your support for all of our non-agency adoption expenses that are beginning to mount up (used minivan car repairs, medical tests/doctor visits, travel for our girls to China, etc.).
Here is the puzzle! Where is that last piece, you say? Well, YOU could be the missing piece to Leo's puzzle! At least, that's what was planning to say if the piece had stayed missing. We ended up finding the edge piece hours later!
There are still about 150 puzzle pieces that are blank, so if you'd still like your name included, just follow this link to the puzzle fundraiser.

i was wondering if it would be possible to log temperatures via a REST request?
I have several wireless sensors that log to a MySQL database and would like to see those sensors in Opennethome as well.
Or if REST is not an option, is there some other way to do this?
There is a HomeItem designed specifically for this case. It is called GenericThermometer http://wiki.nethome.nu/doku.php/genericthermometer. This Item is updated by sending a specific event to it and it will present the latest value sent along with some update time information.
The update is in the nightly build - hope this helps.
There seems to be something odd about the nightly release 3.0-c10e9.
When I ran the update script if erased half of my config.xml and refused to start the gui of opennethome.
Ohh, I am sorry to hear, this sounds really bad!!
I have upgraded my own home server with this release, and I have not seen any problems so far.
I really want to know what went wrong here, because upgrades should not fail like that. Could you please tell me exactly how you did the upgrade and what versions you are running?
If you got any error logs when starting up after the upgrade, could you please share them as well?
I might know what went wrong, I used the old upgrade method, the upgrade_nethome_nightly.sh script.
I was not aware of the nethome upgrade-nightly command.
I logged in via SSH and ran the upgrade_nethome_nightly.sh script, which is what I have used to upgrade to the nightly before.
Hmm, the best way to do the upgrade is via the upgrade command, but I don't think using the script was the cause of your problem. The logs say that the config.xml is not "well formed" which indicates that your config file was corrupted somehow prior to starting the upgraded server. Did you have any unexpected power cuts to the pi prior to or during the upgrade?
Been running the same setup since 2014, and run several nightly upgrades with the same script.
Most likely it was just a very unlucky fluke.
I have now rebuilt my setup and make damn sure I have a backup before doing upgrades in the future!
Will try to implement the REST logging, but not tonight anymore, too busy at work.
Well, went back on my word.
I can now update the temperature via a curl command, still need to write a php call that fetches the latest value of a certain sensor, but that is a different issue not related to opennethome.
The value in the example is 41.76, that translates into 41.8. I assume opennethome does not like 2 decimal temperatures?
Great work as usual usual Stefan!
