2014 Calendar
Check Out The 2014 Calendar's Key Events, Holidays, Fun Facts & More
So 2013 is finally drawing to a close. Now that 2014 is upon
us, it's worth taking a few minutes to check out the 2014 calendar and
get acquainted with this year's holidays, key dates and more.
People around the world are ringing in New Year's Day with a wide
range of celebrations, from launching off fireworks to drinking
champagne and even just laying on the couch watching the ball drop
in New York's Times Square on TV. New Year's Day 2014 comes next, a day
of hangovers, resolutions and reflection on the triumphs and trials of
2013.But the first day of January is also a perfect time to look forward to the new year, and to start mapping out our obligations, holidays, special events and other plans. So here's a list of helpful information, quirky facts and other things you may want to know about the new calendar as January 2014 gets under way, all followed by a listing of when major holidays will fall this year.
Though the new year of the Chinese zodiac will not begin until the Lunar New Year on the last day of January, it's worth noting that 2014 is the Year of the Horse, which is recognized to be the Chinese people's ethos – making unremitting efforts to improve themselves. It is "energetic, bright, warm-hearted, intelligent and able," according to TravelChinaGuide.com. So say goodbye to the Year of the Snake.
Over the course of the year, there will also be a number of major elections including to the United Nations Security Council, U.S. Congress and governorships and European Parliament, as well as votes in Brazil, Colombia, Uruguay, Australia, Fiji, New Zealand, Tonga, South Africa, Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Macau, Belgium, Hungary, Lithuania, Romania, Sweden, Onatrio, and a number of other places across the world.
Speaking of politics, members of the U.S. House of Representatives can breathe a sigh of relief, as they will work only 113 days in 2014, down from the already-low 126 days they were scheduled to toil on Capitol Hill in 2013. They get $174,000 for their abbreviated efforts, in case you were wondering. Paid for by the American taxpayer.
And at midnight on Jan. 1, New York City will officially inaugurate its new mayor, Bill de Blasio, in a private ceremony at his home in Brooklyn. He will be the first New York mayor not named Michael Bloomberg in 12 years.
This year Sochi, Russia, will host the Winter Olympics, which begin on Feb. 7. Be sure to catch the excitement, as 12 new winter sports events, including snowboard slopestyle and women's ski jumping, will debut this year.
In sports, the Super Bowl will be Feb. 2 in 2014, the Kentucky Derby is May 3, the UEFA Champions League Final is May 24 and the French Open begins May 26. Here's a full list of important sporting events taking place in 2014.
The 2014 Oscars will take place on March 2, and the Festival de Cannes (Cannes Film Festival) will take place between May 14 and 25 in 2014, to name a couple of important events in entertainment.
The list could go on nearly forever, as 2014 is bound to be a year of many breakthroughs and exciting events. But in the interest of brevity, we'll leave you with a breakdown of the dates on which many major American holidays will take place in 2014.

MAC address to IPv6 link-local address
MAC address to IPv6 link-local address
The math
Link-local
IPv6 addresses are used as part of the IPv6 network auto-configuration process.
Instead of getting an address via DHCP, a NIC will hop on the network with a
link-local IPv6 address and with this will have to ability to do further
configuration automatically (soliciting neighbors, router, et cetera).
This
link-local IPv6 is inferred from the NIC’s mac address.
A
mac address is 48 bits, an IPv6 address is 128 bits. Here’s the conversion
process step by step:
- take the mac address: for example 52:74:f2:b1:a8:7f
- throw ff:fe in the middle: 52:74:f2:ff:fe:b1:a8:7f
- reformat to IPv6 notation 5274:f2ff:feb1:a87f
- convert the first octet from hexadecimal to binary: 52 -> 01010010
- invert the bit at position 6 (counting from 0): 01010010 -> 01010000
- convert octet back to hexadecimal: 01010000 -> 50
- replace first octet with newly calculated one: 5074:f2ff:feb1:a87f
- prepend the link-local prefix: fe80::5074:f2ff:feb1:a87f
- done!

banners to your site/blog. So advertisers will buy the empty space on
your site and will put their ad for a 30 days period, this is because
BSA offers banners on monthly bases, this program is not similarly like
Adsense, but it has more potentials than Adsense once your site is get
approved by BSA. So its something bigger than Adsense, but the hardest

This is the final alternative to
BuySellAds, if any of the above methods did not work then you can use
Chitika to earn some extra money with your blog/site, but again this all
depends on the traffic/visitors you receive on your website, if you
have thousands of visitors then you can make a smart income even with
Chitika. Chitika will accept your site with no restrictions, but at
least you must have some traffic on your site in order to be approved by
them.
