New Yorkers sometimes seem inured to urban horrors. But Elisa’ death the day before Thanksgiving shattered that indifference, at least for a moment. It’s not just how Elisa died-the autopsy found her head had been hit so hard that her brain hemorrhaged-but how easily this sad end could have been prevented. While many kids fall through the cracks, Elisa was, for a time, protected. She had a father who loved her, teachers and relatives who fought to keep her away from Awilda Lopez, 29, the apparently deranged mother indicted for her murder (she pleaded not guilty)....

Actually, company-based smartphones are capable of securing sensitive data of the military. Still, Samsung is working in the space to create a far more efficient operating system to develop efficient software and hardware security deals. Although galaxy has released a supportive smartphone now in the form of Samsung Galaxy S4, still the military represented its requirement of flexible employees who can use a wide variety of smartphones under the network....

Data miners claimed that the alleged Destiny 2 subscription would offer a number of different purchasing options, depending on how long the player would plan to stick with the game. This led to a non-insignificant uproar from the community, with players being displeased with the notion of Bungie possibly adding yet another monetization layer to an already fairly expensive hobby. Now, however, it’s been revealed that there’s more to the story after all....

Tornado watches, commonly issued a few hours before a severe storm could hit, are meant to alert the public of a developing threat for tornadoes and indicate the need to be prepared and remain vigilant. Watches are issued for broad areas where conditions exist for the development of twisters. Tornado warnings, on the other hand, are more urgent alerts in which people need to take action and seek shelter right away....

Along with swinging the outcome in Indiana with his Operation Chaos, the all-powerful Rush Limbaugh also ripped a tree out of the ground with his bare hands and ate it. Score: 32 Rep. Vito Fossella gets busted for DWI while en route to see his mistress and love child, then sobs on the House floor. Otherwise, a good week. Score: 53

In The DioField Chronicle, there are four different classes the party members will originate from. One of these classes is the Cavalier. Players must outfit their Cavalier with the best weapons for the class to ensure they are well-prepared for the battlefield. Depending on the specific Cavalier, they can use Claws or Lances for their weapon choice. As the game progresses, players will have access to newer and better weapons....

RELATED: The DioField Chronicle: The Biggest Fixes The Game Needs Though The DioField Chronicle gives players a degree of freedom when developing their characters, characters serve best in the roles for which they are intended. One of the best examples is Fredret Lester, a Cavalier who uses his high health and mobility to draw aggro away from more his more fragile friends. Which of Fredret’s abilities should the player focus on upgrading to get the most value from him early on?...

Additionally, gamers can switch in between these Specializations at any point in the game. Just what are these Specializations?...

It sounds like Massive is planning a full years worth of new content and updates to keep gamers engaged during the next 12 months. According to Gerighty, the developer is planning to integrate new events, content, features, and events that will give players new ways to enjoy The Division both solo and with friends. Here are a few of the highlights Gerighty shared with Game Rant. Two Free Expansions One of the biggest revelations Gerighty shared was the announcement of two free expansions coming during Year 2....

Although those who have encountered the issue on The Division’s PS4 port now have a solution to the problem of seeing two versions of stats on the screen, it will come at the cost of a lengthy download, for the patch’s size is a whopping 4.5 GB. As seen in the tweet from the developer below, fans who apply the update won’t be able to jump right back into action once it’s employed, though, as they will need to restart their game after it has finished downloading....

The newest of these updates will be Update 1.4, which was expected to bring some pretty significant changes to The Division’s gameplay. Today, Ubisoft posted a detailed article on some of the changes that would be coming to The Division in this latest update. The blog post begins by detailing a number of changes that will improve and rebalance ingame gear: All gear in World Tier 2 and higher will have all three base stats – Firearms, Stamina, Electronics – on them, one of these stats will be higher than the others....

After providing a hot fix for missing daily missions at the beginning of this month, players shouldn’t have to worry about any of the weekly assignments disappearing, but considering the poor luck fans and developers alike have had with the bevy of bugs and glitches in The Division so far, almost anything’s possible at this point. In any event, Agents will need to have their gear ready for a few seemingly rough and tumble activities ahead....

The results so far have been discouraging. The Division has become something of a punchline for gamers discussing bad launches and glitchy content, while what started as an excited Division playerbase has begun to shrink alarmingly just two months after the new IP’s launch. These setbacks haven’t caused Ubisoft to give up just yet, however, and a post by Ubisoft Community Manager Ubi-Banshee has confirmed that the publisher will be releasing a hot fix tomorrow to address The Division’s daily mission issue....

Take the case of Vernon Jordan, Clinton’s transition-team chairman. The press reported that Jordan serves on the board of RJR Nabisco, a conglomerate that makes cigarettes. Reporters rounded up ethics experts who pointed out that Jordan’s refusal to remove himself from involvement in choosing health-care personnel undermined the ethics code issued by Clinton. The conflict is more apparent than real, but it’s getting a good ride in the press anyway....

Betrayal oozes from Dragon Age’s lore, with major figures like Andraste, Mythal, and Flemeth all betrayed by those closest to them. In the books, King Maric and Briala find out that the women they loved ultimately betrayed their trust. The plot of Dragon Age: Origins begins with Loghain betraying the Wardens by leaving them to fight while his army retreats. Every game has sprinkles of betrayal, such as Arl Howe in the human origin story, Blackwall’s background, Isabela’s stealing of the Tome of Koslun, and some companions that will betray the player depending on their choices....

To learn the necessary computer skills to become a graphic designer, watch online tutorials on YouTube, Hack Design, Tuts+ Design and Illustration Guides, and other websites. While this approach to becoming a graphic designer is cost effective, having a degree or certificate may give you an advantage when applying for jobs. See if the college offers any training certificates for graphic designers. An introductory course will provide you with a basic understanding of theory and the elements of design such as color, layout, and typography....

However, the games repeat one mistake over and over again with the Khajiit, something The Elder Scrolls 6 is likely to do too. The leading theory, right now, for The Elder Scroll 6’s location is Hammerfell and High Rock, as previously teased in Starfield’s trailer, but that matters little to the Khajiit. It could be just one or the other, it could be the Summerset Isles, it could be Valenwood, or it could be a country set outside Tamriel, and The Elder Scrolls 6 would still ostracize and stereotype the Khajiit....

One of these places was the Soul Cairn, a location that was only accessible through the vampire storyline in Dawnguard. The plane of Oblivion deserves to be further expanded and explored in The Elder Scrolls 6 because it is packed with mystery and intrigue, the fuel needed for Elder Scrolls games to remain compelling to seasoned adventurers. From the mysterious Daedric ruler in charge of the realm to the fate of the souls trapped there, the Soul Cairn has enormous potential for future gameplay that cleverly connects back to the lore and setting of Skyrim....

When The Elder Scrolls Online eventually released on consoles in early June, a full year after the PC and Mac version, its launch wasn’t particularly smooth either. Console players across Europe and North America began to report that they were unable to log in and play the game, while others said that NPCs had been disappearing. Additionally, some players reported issues with the game’s friend system, and many complained that they’d been banned from using the in-game chat for spamming despite not having sent a single message....

Mueller-Moehring said, “The case is that Thomas Muller isn’t good at anything, really, apart from his positioning.” Giving a reason for bumping up Muller’s ratings, Moehring said, “So if you rate Thomas Muller properly, he ends up with a rating that we say doesn’t make sense. It’s too low.” In case you didn’t know… The FIFA ratings are decided by a team of 9000 reviewers who watch as many matches as possible and estimate player attributes....
