Samir Becic
Top 100 Fittest U.S. Politicians
This is the first list of it's kind in America and took our entire team over 3 months in order to finish this list:
Political leaders have an influence over their constituents and can be one of the building blocks towards attaining healthy lifestyle in mainstream America. They have access to the masses through the laws and their presence in media, which can motivate people into changing their nutrition for the better and being more physically active. We hope that politicians will continue to make wide-ranging changes towards a healthier U.S. Through having a healthier workforce, this great nation, as a whole, can see tangible benefits.
After completing research on the fittest governors, senators, and congresspeople in the U.S., Samir Becic and the Health Fitness Revolution team have put together a list of the Top 100 Fittest U.S. Politicians. Regardless of party affiliation, it is important that our leaders demonstrate healthy lifestyle and physical fitness. Healthy Body, Healthy Mind- we want our leaders to be healthy!
Given that there are thousands of politicians in America, this list was incredibly challenging to complete. We first researched all the available data on politicians online and narrowed it down to 1000, 500, 250, and finally 100. We used a combination of interviews, internet, library, industry literature, and Samir Becic's knowledge of over 33 years in athletics coupled with his experience as 4 times Number 1 Fitness Trainer in the World.
The politicians on this list not only lead healthy lifestyles themselves, but also promote it within their leadership roles to their constituents. The following was taken into consideration: fitness level, nutritional habits, age, medical issues and how they coped with these, as well as involvement and promotion of a healthy lifestyle. We hope this list inspires more politicians to not only lead healthy lifestyles, but to promote health and fitness in their district and the nation.
The politicians are listed in no particular oder.
AARON SCHOCK- CONGRESSMAN ILLINOIS
known for covering Men's Health magazine with a six pack, Schock really cares about fitness, which he says he got into in college when he felt his body was changing. He cares about others being fit too, which is why he launched "Fit for Summer, Fit for Life" in 2011 to motivate Americans to take control of their waistlines. He even touts one of his favorite quotes as being that of Ben Franklin "'A good example is the best sermon,'" Schock said. "And I think if you want to start talking about healthy lifestyles and staying in shape, then you yourself should do your best to try to be a model, an example to people you're trying to convince to do the same." His personal fitness routine includes, calisthenics, jogging, swimming, p90x, and weightlifting- he works out 5 to 7 days a week because he acknowledges that working out makes him feel great, relieves stress, and gives him energy.
PAUL RYAN- CONGRESSMAN WISCONSIN
Uses P90X
Lead a class on physical fitness on Capital Hill
Avoids fast-food and desserts
Worked as a personal trainer
Works out 6 days a week
Made our list of the
ADRIEN FENTY- FORMER MAYOR OF WASHINGTON D.C.
In 2009, Men's Fitness Magazine named Fenty one of their 25 Fittest Men- a list dominated by professional athletes and actors, none with as demanding a schedule as the Mayor of the nation's capital. He told the magazine then that he was training as much as "humanely possible", and that daily workouts had become nearly impossible. His fitness routine while Mayor was three times a week, he would go on a long early-morning run and he would also swim and cycle when he could. As an avid cycler himself, he made the nation's capital more bike-friendly. In his first 20 months in office, Fenty's administration spent $7 million for road and trail improvements, bike racks, signage, maps, and general education. But one of the mayor's proudest accomplishments has been the SmartBike DC program. People who pay a $40 annual fee can now swipe a card at bike stations and ride one of 120 three-speed bicycles in the fleet.
JOE BIDEN, CURRENT VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Because he is currently the Vice President of the United States, it is important for Joe Biden to live a healthy lifestyle in order to cope with the heavy stress and demands of the position. Regarding his candidacy, he told CNN "there may be reasons I don't run, but there's no obvious reason for me why I think I should not run." He makes sure to stay fit by using the Senate gym. In the gym, you can catch him biking, running, or just working on core exercises. We did however, find a tumblr page solely dedicated to him eating ice cream, with over 20 individual pictures!
ANDREW CUOMO- GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK
Andrew Cuomo loves boxing so much that he has a boxing equipped gym in his house with weights. He also jogs for around 2 to 3 hours a week. And Cuomo also likes to share his passion for physical fitness with the people who elected him. As the father of three girls who participate in soccer and track, he officially made Sept. 26 Women's Health and Fitness Day in New York State!
ANTONIO VILLARAIGOSA- FORMER MAYOR OF LOS ANGELES
During his 12 years as mayor of the second largest city in the nation, Antonio Villaraigosa not only kept fit himself, but made strides in making his expanding police force fitter, and also added over 1500 miles of bike pathways for his constituents. He is known for loving his intense P90x workouts and being an avid biker. He has said that he wakes up daily at 5 a.m. to workout and is at his office by 7 p.m.
BARACK OBAMA- CURRENT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
Obama is very disciplined in his day to day life, and works out regularly. Not only does the President work out daily, but his wife, Michelle Obama and their two daughters are equally conscious for their health. Very particular about his health, the man eats healthy food and makes sure his family is very healthy as well. Obama practices alternate resistance training, plays basketball regularly, and devotes four days a week to weight training. Obama has been vocal about his opinion that workouts are the best way to bring harmony between your body and mind.
BILL CLINTON- FORMER U.S. PRESIDENT
When President Clinton faced serious health problems in 2004, he did thorough research which let him to the vegan diet in 2010. In addition to this, he was known to be an avid runner that used this form of cardio exercise to dissipate the stress of the White House. He is a proponent of healthy lifestyle and Veganism which he credits to saving his life and dropping more than 20 pounds. Bill Clinton is also known to take long walks with his dog.
BILL NELSON – SENATOR FLORIDA
"Education is the totality of oneself, mind as well as body… staying physically fit is important in school because you're making strong little bodies as well as strong little minds"
His diet is low-carb and low-fat.
He doesn't drink alcohol, doesn't smoke, and exercises religiously.
Senator Nelson has done the astronaut physical in Houston roughly every other year since he flew aboard the space shuttle in 1986 and he's always passed with flying colors.
His office told Health Fitness Revolution that Bill believes one key to good health is staying active, whether it's jogging almost every day, hunting quail in North Florida or searching for pythons in the Everglades.
He is a strong advocate of physical fitness in schools.
He jogs 2 miles every morning.
Served six years in the U.S. Army and Army Reserve, which means he was active throughout his youth.
Nelson has started an initiative to boost physical education in schools. He has voiced his concern that schools are dropping physical education programs at a time when health risks such as including hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes and obesity are affecting more and more children. Nelson visited the Duval County school to announce his initiative to boost physical education programs in schools.
CHRIS CHRISTIE- GOVERNOR OF NEW JERSEY
In 2013, Chris Christie announced that he needed to lose weight and get healthy for his family- and decided to get a lap-band procedure done. Health Fitness Revolution does not recommend anyone to get lap-band but we are reporting Governor's Christie's story. Since then, he has lost close to 100 pounds and says that fitness has become a part of his daily life. We put Governor Christie on this list because we feel he is a good example to those American's that struggle with their weight- that no matter how daunting a lifestyle change might seem- it can be done! He trains three times a week with his fitness trainer- who he often thanks in his public speeches and press releases.

EARL RAY TOMBLIN- GOVERNOR OF WEST VIRGINIA
Earl Ray Tomblin has partnered with fitness legend Jake Steinfeld ("Body by Jake") on The National Foundation for Governors' Fitness Councils in order to build a nation of the fittest, healthiest kids in the world. His own site states that physical activity and exercise are shown to help prevent and treat more than 40 chronic diseases, enhance individual health and quality of life and reduce health care costs. In schools, studies show that physical activity improves academic achievement, increases confidence and self-esteem, reduces discipline problems, cuts absenteeism and fosters better interpersonal relationships. Tomblin himself has said "I've always said that academics and fitness go hand in and hand and believe that if you provide the schools with the tools, students will excel beyond their wildest dreams. Not only will these students be healthier, but they'll also have increased confidence, improved self-esteem and will achieve greater academic success."
GAVIN NEWSOM- CURRENT LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA AND FORMER MAYOR OF SAN FRANCISCO
As a politician, Gavin has been pitching major health and fitness initiatives for years. When Newsom was mayor of San Francisco from 2004 to 2011, he signed laws that required city restaurants to put nutrition information on their menus, and proposed policy changes to bring healthy and sustainably produced meals from bountiful Northern California farms into the city. Even more impressive, he initiated the "Shape Up San Francisco" program, a five-year plan that aims to increase access to healthy food and make it easier for people to exercise. Today, San Francisco ranks among the fittest cities in the US.
GEORGE W. BUSH- FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
George W. Bush has a military background and was in the Texas Air National Guard. He is a passionate runner and was known to run 6 times a week during his presidency. He had a treadmill on the Air Force One, and was known to run for extended periods of time during international flights. He uses the elliptical, weights, and stretching as part of his regime. He was quoted saying "Exercise is so important that corporate America should help its employees make time. There should be flextime for families, and there should be flextime for exercise. A healthy workforce is a more productive work force. We have got to do a better job of encouraging exercise in America." He once ran the Houston marathon in a good time of 3:44, running the first mile in 8:30 and the last mile in 8:30.
JAY INSLEE- GOVERNOR OF WASHINGTON
Jay Inslee is a known avid basketball player and has even played against Barack Obama at the White House. To stay active, he says he also enjoys biking, skiing and hiking. Inslee also participates in the annual congressional baseball game and is a charter member of the Hoopaholics camp, a basketball charity that raises money for abused and neglected children. Athletics for Inslee, it seems, serve as a cure for a slow litigation process in Washington D.C. Inslee recognizes that we need to look more broadly at the overall structure of wellness and prevention – healthy habits, healthy diet and a commitment to fitness. He states that these are the true elements of building a healthier state workforce- so he signed a bill that requires healthful food and beverages in vending machines, cafeterias and on-site retail shops, at meetings and events, and in institutions where food is served to prisoners or other people in state custody.
JEFF FLAKE – SENATOR ARIZONA

Dropped about 30 pounds from 2010-2012.
His daughter encouraged him to get back into being active because she runs and does cross country.
JERRY BROWN- GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA
In 2012, Governor Chris Christie called Jerry Brown an "old retread" which the California governor did not appreciate- so he challenged him to a fitness test! The then 74-year old Jerry Brown said "Not as much hair, I'm slowed down a little bit. But I have to tell you, I ran three miles in 29 minutes two nights ago … and I hereby challenge Gov. Christie to a three-mile race, a pushup contest and a chin-up contest. And whatever he wants to bet, I have no doubt of the outcome." The now 76-year old is no stranger to impromptu displays of strength. Four years ago he challenged a reporter to do 11 chin-ups, then did 12 himself! He also cares about the fitness of kids in California and has also partnered with Jake Steinfeld's Governor's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports to award schools that are demonstrating positive impact on the physical activity, fitness levels and well-being of California children.

KARL DEAN- MAYOR OF NASHVILLE
Mayor Karl Dean is waging a steady battle against an unhealthy crisis and trying to make Nashville, known for it's fatty southern cooking and high obesity rate, a healthier place. His strategy, he says, is simple- to expand opportunities for exercise and good nutrition and to lead by example. With a $7.5 million stimulus grant, Dean is transforming Nashville into an exercise-friendly city, creating bike paths and parks where they've never existed. He worries about the children, who consistently fall in the bottom 5 on nationwide obesity rankings; he knows that childhood obesity is linked to diabetes, heart disease, and even cancer. Because of this, Dean launched a city-wide campaign "Walk 100 Miles with the Mayor" to encourage all Nashvillians to improve their overall health by joining their friends and neighbors in walking for exercise. More than 4,300 Nashvillians have participated to date and all together, have walked over 120,000 miles. He even launched a useful APP for the residents of Nashville called "NashVitality" which is a mobile guide to a healthy, active and green lifestyle in Nashville. Inside this app there are interactive maps for all types of activities including walking, hiking, biking, water access, and much more.

Marco Rubio has said he is ready to become president, but how does he keep down the stress and a healthy lifestyle while on the road? During high school and college, he stayed fit by playing football and even got a scholarship for it, but that was ended because of an injury after his freshman year of college. Now he exercises early in the mornings before his four kids wake up, and attends daily Catholic mass to continue his spiritual health. He also works out at the members-only Senate gym with his gym partner, fellow senator Richard J. Durbin.
MARK UDALL – SENATOR COLORADO
"Coloradans know our mountains, parks and open spaces are essential to our special way of life.

MAYOR MIKE BLOOMBERG- FORMER NEW YORK CITY MAYOR
Mike Bloomberg was known for taking extreme stances when it came to making New York City residents healthier and fitter. Bloomberg —a bit of a health and fitness nut himself— targeted unhealthy lifestyles during his 12 year run unlike any other administration before him. He left behind a legacy of aggressive measures designed to improve the health of the city's residents: his administration built bike lanes, plastered anti–soda ads on subways, funded produce sellers, banned cigarette smoking in the workplace and made them more expensive, he reformed school meals after being horrified by what children were being fed at school, and he required restaurants to list calorie counts. From 2002 to 2009 adult smoking decreased by 27 percent in the city, and the life span of the average New Yorker rose by 3 years (higher than the 1.7 year national average). His most recent fitness plan was to make elevators slower in order to encourage people to take the stairs- to well maintained rooftop urban gardens that can be used to grow "healthy foods".
MIKE CALDWELL- MAYOR OF OGDEN, UTAH
Mike Caldwell has been racing bikes competitively for the past 28 years and got into competing in triathlons about a decade ago. Before he became mayor of Ogden in 2012, Caldwell exercised at lunch. Now, with the demands of the job and family, he has to get up very early to get a workout in. He's given his scheduler strict orders never to book him between 4:30 and 5:30 a.m., when he goes to a Crossfit Gym. He was quoted in NPR saying "That is probably one of the most important things I do with my day," Caldwell says. "If I don't get exercise, I'm not as quick on my feet. The stresses of the day just seem to compound themselves. I'm less patient with my kids and my family. This job would be far too difficult if you didn't have some outlets and ways to keep your feet on the ground." As for what he's done for the community, he's tried making Ogden more bicycle accessible so it's residents can stay active- it took four tries, but Ogden was determined to get that Bicycle Friendly Community (BFC) recognition. It finally did. In October 2013, it became the only community in Utah to win BFC honors from the League of American Bicyclists in the fall's round of awards.
MITT ROMNEY- FORMER GOVERNOR OF MASSACHUSETTS
An avid jogger, Romney has said he runs at least 3 miles a day and reportedly hits the elliptical machine for 30 to 40 minutes at hotel gyms while on the road. While campaigning for the 2012 presidential election, he said he used fellow lister Paul Ryan as both his running mate and personal trainer. He loves peanut butter and honey sandwiches (getting protein and antioxidants without resorting to higher cholesterol lunch options), and counts skiing among his hobbies—after all, he was President and CEO of the 2002 Olympic Games in Salt Lake City.
NANCY CHANEY- MAYOR OF MOSCOW, IDAHO
Mayor Nancy Chaney of Moscow, ID, is working to help residents be healthier and she uses smart growth strategies as a way to achieve both health and regional connections. Chaney says: "Smart growth means connecting people in the physical and social sense. It includes gathering places and public centers like Friendship Square in the heart of our downtown. And smart growth means providing for all residents regardless of their preferred mode of transportation—bicycles, strollers, wheelchairs. Smart growth gives Moscow's residents this flexibility to choose whether to be in a motorized vehicle or to walk to a doctor's appointment. Smart growth is about how people and place are interrelated." Mayor Chaney has also been part of Moscow's Active Living Task Force, a federal grant-funded program to support active living policies and implementation. Her work at improving fitness and health within the community has even garnered national recognition from First Lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move campaign.
NATHAN DEAL- GOVERNOR OF GEORGIA
In 2012, when Governor Deal learned that children aged between 10-17 in Georgia had the second highest obesity rate (40%), he decided to do something about it. That year, partnered with the Georgia Department of Public Health and launched Georgia SHAPE, a statewide program merging governmental, philanthropic and academic and business communities to address childhood obesity. Nathan Deal has said "We must work together to improve the health of children in our state. Some suggest that we're raising the first generation of American kids to have shorter life expectancy then their parents because of problems related to obesity. We can and will do better to promote healthy lifestyles." We appreciate that Governor Deal acknowledges that childhood obesity has serious immediate and long-term effects not only on health and well-being, but also on the academic achievement of children and the economy of his state.
PAT QUINN- GOVERNOR OF ILLINOIS
In 2001, Governor Pat Quinn walked from the Mississippi River to Lake Michigan to call for decent health care for all. In 2012, he announced the "Walk Across Illinois Challenge," an initiative to help improve the health and wellness of Illinois residents. Today, the Walk Across Illinois Challenge covers 190 miles and encourages everyone from youth to senior citizens to walk. That same year, Governor Quinn announced in the creation of the Governor's Council on Health and Physical Fitness to develop practical ideas to help residents embrace healthier lifestyles. This council is charged with promoting a statewide response to prevent chronic disease brought on by poor nutrition and a lack of physical fitness. Pat Quinn aims to promote lifelong physical activity and healthy eating practices because he has said "The best preventative medicine is a healthy lifestyle." Healthy lifestyle has been shown to contribute to healthy weight, prevent or improve most chronic diseases and increase longevity.
PHIL BRYANT- GOVERNOR OF MISSISSIPPI
In his state of address after his inauguration in 2012, Governor Bryant said this on the need for fitness in Mississippi: "As citizens, we must do a better job with our individual healthcare. Every Mississippian should realize that a sound diet and exercise program will save lives and reduce health care costs. We should not be the most obese state in the nation, leading the worst statistics of heart attacks and strokes. Walk, run, go to the gym, plant a garden or ride a bike. Getting active is key to your own health care and I again intend to lead by example." He also invited the people of Mississippi to join him at his "5K Governor's Run for Health" which he aims to host every summer during his tenure. Bryant believes each of us has to take responsibility for our personal health, and that a family run is a great way for people to get active and improve their wellbeing.
RAHM EMANUEL- MAYOR OF CHICAGO
Rahm Emanuel is a seriously fit guy- in a 2011 interview will Wolf Blitzer, he enumerated his 7-day workout routine as follows: Three mornings a week, Rahm wakes up early, runs to the gym, and swims a mile in a 50-meter indoor pool. Then he does chest exercises and runs two miles back to his Ravenswood Manor home. The other two mornings, he rides 25 miles on a stationary bike, followed by a 15-minute turn on the elliptical, weights, 100 sit-ups, and 50 pushups. On Saturdays,
he bikes 20 miles outdoors. What day of rest? He practices yoga on Sunday. Mayor Emanuel is working on childhood obesity too- he is working in partnership with agencies, foundations, corporations, and other key stakeholders, to give all children in Chicago the childhood they deserve by having access to parks and playgrounds.
RALPH BECKER- MAYOR OF SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH
Salt Lake City, Utah was voted Men's Fitness "Fittest City in America" in 2006 due to the metropolitan region's abundance of park space, athletically motivated residents and below-average obesity rates. In 2006, it ranked highest participation in a number of activities, including beach volleyball, racquetball, aerobics, hiking, basketball, yoga, tai chi, swimming, cycling, running, and kickboxing. Salt Lake residents also watch 23% less television than average cities in the survey and eat better due to a higher ratio of health-food stores per resident than most other cities.

He works out every morning before biking or walking the one-mile route to his office. On weekends, he hikes or skis Utah's backcountry.

The Mayor at the time, Rybak, a fitness enthusiast himself, was very proud of his city, which is known for being covered in snow 3 months out of the year- he boasted that it's residents get off their couches no matter the season. Minneapolis also has more playgrounds, swimming pools, tennis courts, golf courses, baseball diamonds and dog parks, per capita, than other cities. Rybak himself was voted Men's Fitness "Fittest Mayor in America" in 2006 due to his an exercise routine of running, biking, swimming, and weightlifting 5 times a week.

Former Gov. Sarah Palin has always been a runner and still runs 5 to 7 miles a day. Now a mother of five kids, she says exercise is still very much a "family thing." She and her husband, Todd, also an athlete, named their first son Track because he was born in that sport's season. And because she still lives in Alaska, she enjoys outdoor sports regularly, such as hunting, finish, and hiking. Over her diet she says "My family and I eat a healthy diet heavy in wild Alaskan seafood, moose, caribou and fresh fruit." In 2012 she announced she would be writing a fitness book.

This Wisconsin Governor is one of the fittest U.S. politicians and has always had healthy living on the top of his to do list.

"I never verbally make resolutions, but subconsciously I tell myself I've got to lose 20 pounds. I haven't missed a day of working out since the New Year, so that's a start. There is a congressional gym, but truthful, all you need is a flat piece of land and a pair of sneakers, and you can get in a workout anywhere. You just have to be creative enough and understand exercise enough. I took a three-and-a-half-mile walk this morning, and I'm paying for it right now because my foot's on fire. I'll do yoga, work on flexibility, mix it up. I do cardiovascular fitness as much as I can, which is hard with two bad wheels, a knee and a foot. But you can work around things like that if you think about it."

How many of you are under the mistaken impression that there is no role for education in the network marketing world? Judging by most of the advertising I have been exposed to I can see where you are coming from as I too believed the hype in the early years of my introduction to network marketing. I fell for the "point and click" simple anyone can do it, for the "if you can copy and paste" you can do this, and for the "if you can understand how to send an email" you have what it takes rhetoric.
This only served to start me on the wrong foot and headed in the wrong direction. Needless to say I spent a few years almost more than I care to mention chasing one opportunity after another due to the disillusionment of the rhetoric. I just kept blaming the opportunity because I certainly could do all those simple actions they claimed I needed to be successful so it could not be my fault it did not work. I stand convinced that to be successful in network marketing you need to check your ego at the door, admit you do not know everthing especially if you are new to making money online opportunities, and embrace the opportunity to learn everything you can about this business.
Most of us just jump into one opportunity after another without thinking twice only to move on after we abandon it for something else. What is wrong with this picture, I did this more times than I can count and I consider myself educated graduated from college with a 3.9 GPA. Yet education and educated are two separate things as I have learned. Aristotle knew this when he spoke these immortal words. I understand this now and the implications it brings when I apply it to the way I now approach network marketing opportunities. I think about the offer, look past the rhetoric, engage in some due diligence, and then decide if it is a viable opportunity.
Here is what I would consider a viable opportunity; it would have to have a product that I believe serves a purpose, it would show some signs of longevity, it would have to have some type or organizational leadership, it would have to have a responsive support staff, and last but not least it would need to have a structured training approach that included specific training on the opportunity as well as general training in the network marketing arena. Only after I have gone through this process and entertained the thought of joining will I make a decision to join or reject the opportunity.
Here is my take away from these profound words; knowledge does not manifest itself until the learning is actually applied. Take for example a heart surgeon that has never performed a single open heart operation may well have all the knowledge required to perform one, but until he performs the actual surgery that knowledge serves little purpose to the person that needs one. While it may instill in him/her a great sense of achievement there will be no fulfillment if they never perform a single surgery. One of my college professors often used the phrase "conquest of the useless" when he was talking about someone mastering a language never intending to actually converse with someone in that language, and it took me a long time to understand his meaning. I know at the time that it could equally apply to my education.
The same applies in the network marketing arena and I am a prime example of that as I went from believing that I did not need to learn anything to be successful online to the other extreme. I became obsessed with learning everything I could about network marketing and have completed enough courses to almost qualify me for a degree in the discipline yet I failed to implement what I was learning. Needless to say as you are probably well aware that in network marketing success is elusive at best and impossible if you do apply what you learn by taking some form of action.
Do not spend your time online learning just for the sake of learning as simply acquiring knowledge will not put money in your pocket. It may give you a sense of achievement but if you never apply what you have learned if falls into the category of a "conquest of the useless" as my professor once said. Having said that I am a firm believer that one should be in a constant state of learning and my approach is to learn something that will help me in my business, apply or take action based on that learning, and then teach it to others to help them with their business. In doing this I reinforce my knowledge and get better at its application.
This continuous learning concept is one that is embraced by professional and trade organizations as well which is why there are professional and trade journals published on a regular basis. Regardless of the profession, trade, or network marketing opportunity it is foregone conclusion that changes are happening all the time. In order to stay knowledgeable in our network marketing business we need embrace learning but not just for the sake of learning. Our learning needs to be focused on our particular business and with the intention of actually applying it. Knowledge is not something you put on a shelf it is meant to be an integral part of that which makes you a profit.

Practical Application of the Industry 4.0 Concept in a Steel Company
Wizata Team
Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems are becoming more and more sophisticated. AI solutions are changing entire industries and business practices all over the globe. The manufacturing, mining, and steel industries are among the first to adopt AI to improve production and efficiency.
The steel industry is currently the leader of smart production, as more and more companies enter the digital transformation dubbed Industry 4.0. Let's look at the primary applications of industry 4.0 in a steel company in more detail.
Technologies Behind Industry 4.0
All applications of industry 4.0 rest on a number of highly advanced technologies that make the digital transformation possible in the first place. AI systems and machine learning models are the backbones of industry 4.0, but these two technologies can't do much without the Internet of Things (IoT).
AI and ML work together to analyze large amounts of data and find patterns in the operation. They need a vast amount of data to provide accurate results, and most of the data comes from IoT sensors placed on every machine and other elements. The sensors monitor machine performance in real-time, sending the data to the ML model that learns how the system works. The ML model then sends analyzed data to the AI solution that uses automation to improve production and efficiency.
When these three technologies work together, industries can generate valuable insights that can help bring production and management to a new level. For example, the Digital Twin technology allows businesses to re-create entire production lines, products, services, or business processes in a digital environment. That makes it much easier to run accurate simulations and predict the future of production.
AI As The Brains of The Operation
We gave you a little overview of how Industry 4.0 works. There are multiple technologies involved, but AI is at the center of the action. It's responsible for structuring analyzed data and finding ways for improving operational performance and efficiency. The AI finds "shortcuts" and proposes solutions that take the load off the employees while improving productivity with automation.
The AI solution then takes over the most time-consuming tasks to keep the operation running. It practically takes over management and finds better solutions for various tasks. Of course, it takes a lot of time and effort to create an in-house AI solution. The process is also still too expensive, so AI is still a distant dream for most small and medium-sized businesses. However, with new AI solutions introduced almost daily, it will soon become more affordable for smaller businesses as well.
Efficiency, Performance, Productivity, and Safety Boost
Once you apply industry 4.0 in a steel company, it will lead to all kinds of benefits. The steel industry requires certain skills such as math, programming, and so on. Systems that use AI solutions for monitoring and measuring perform better because AI doesn't make mistakes. Once it automates most tasks, it leads to a drastic increase in productivity and a huge improvement in product quality.
Again, the steel industry is a heavy industry that involves a lot of hazardous situations. Most facilities have massive blast furnaces that produce a lot of heat and dangerous gasses. Workers have to put their lives at risk to ensure that all furnaces are charged and running as they should be. However, working in such conditions leads to errors that harm product quality and lead to injuries.
Ai can help reduce human injuries while increasing productivity by monitoring all machinery in real-time. For example, advanced 3D-radar technology can help create an ideal charging process model to improve blast furnace conditions and increase yields.
That makes the factory floor much safer for everyone. Moreover, IoT sensors keep monitoring all machines and departments in real-time. AI solutions can use other embedded devices such as cameras and gas sensors to predict hazards before anything happens. It can then notify shift managers and engineers about the issue, allowing them to clear the problem before a catastrophic event. Therefore, AI can not only help increase productivity and efficiency, but it can also completely change the way we think about the steel industry.
All About Data
Every AI/ML solution is only as good as the data it gets. For industry 4.0 in a steel company to work, the AI needs a steady stream of high-quality performance data directly from the factory floor. Data is the driving force behind industry 4.0, and IoT sensors are in charge of feeding AI with data.
Let's see how that works in a practical example. Let's say that a steel slab makes it to the reheating furnace. Tiny laser sensors scan the slab and inform the AI about details such as temperature, air intake, etc. The AI views the data and instructs the machine to increase or lower the air intake to create an ideal setting and ensure that the slab is treated perfectly.
That prevents the slab from getting twisted or potentially breaking the machine or causing an accident. Other advanced practices such as predictive maintenance lead to a significant cost and downtime reduction. Most steel plants have to keep working 24/7, so it's hard to plan regular maintenance. Moreover, the downtimes caused by preventive maintenance can cost companies millions in damages. AI can help reduce costs by predicting future issues, allowing engineers to fix them before a total breakdown.
All of that is possible only because of data, so it's safe to say that data is the key factor in every Industry 4.0 system.
It's clear that data has a direct impact on industrial productivity, but it also has an impact on other processes. For example, smart meters and IoT sensors work together to reduce waste and wasted energy.
Most steel factories use large amounts of energy to keep their machines running. Most of the energy is generated using gas from the furnaces and rolling processes, but large amounts still come from the local power grid. AI can help reduce energy consumption by accurately measuring which type of steel needs the most energy to process. Producers can then figure out energy consumption costs and go with the cheapest material.
Optimization Through Accurate Measuring
Accurate measuring can also help steel companies save money on materials. For example, AI solutions can measure the coating thickness during galvanization much more accurately than any other method. AI provides more control over this and many other processes.
More control means better product quality and higher customer satisfaction. Moreover, AI-powered systems can use visual inspection cameras to detect defects during production. Better product quality also has a positive effect on customer satisfaction. Steel manufacturers that use IoT, AI, and ML systems can remove defects completely through constant improvement.
Industry 4.0 in a steel company makes a lot of sense because it helps improve most production processes while saving costs. The adoption of this technology is expensive, but once AI takes control over the system, it provides some incredible benefits.
More and more industries are adopting these new technologies in their effort to achieve a higher level of productivity and efficiency. Keep in mind that this is still an emerging technology, so there's plenty of room for improvement.

This summary explains our partnership with the church: We believe that technology is a vital tool for spreading the Good News of Jesus and sharing this love with our local community. Summerfield UMC has combined it numerous technology-based initiatives into a formal ministry. A generation ago, knowledge was obtained only from books. To see the world meant getting on a plane, or at least waiting for a picture postcard in the mail. Today, the internet has transformed the computer into a tiny portal that connects to a vast social network of people and information. purchase Tadalafil Understanding this need, we have established two computer labs. The Summerfield UMC Meal Outreach Computer Lab, and the Samuel Fallows Multimedia Center at Summerfield UMC. This technology will allow the needy of Milwaukee to utilize resources that they normally have limited access to, such as job searches, connecting with family via eMail, and exploring educational opportunities. It offers multimedia and print resources, such as audio sermon series, Bible commentaries, concordances and reference materials, with literature about Christian living.

Last fall, we replaced a section of Highway 19 concrete median barrier with an emergency access gate – also known as a Vulcan Barrier (please excuse any ensuing Star Trek jokes) – the first on Vancouver Island highways (Spock would be so proud!). Other types of emergency gates can be found in some parts of the province, such as Kelowna and the Alex Fraser Bridge in Delta.
When an incident closes a BC highway, redirecting traffic via detour is the only way to keep travellers and goods moving to their destinations. But when there are no alternative routes nearby, everyone's stuck.
One "detourless" section of highway is on Highway 19 north of Nanaimo. The section between Rumming and Summerset roads (known as Nanoose Flats) sees about 30,000 vehicles per day, but there are no side roads available to redirect traffic, which means we have to consider splitting the opposite two lanes. Thing is, the lanes are divided by concrete median barrier designed to prevent head-on collisions.
Any good Vulcan would surely agree that trying to direct traffic through concrete barrier designed to block vehicles is highly illogical (sorry, couldn't resist).
The combination of high volume and no detours has left travellers stranded for hours during closures in recent years. After talking to local government and police as part of last year's community safety enhancement program on Vancouver Island, it was clear something needed to be done.
Hence, the gate – pure logic, right?
When the highway is closed in one direction, emergency responders can allow your car to boldly cross the median through the open steel gate, and travel on one of the two lanes on the open half of the highway as part of a temporary counterflow traffic system.
On March 17 2016, we teamed up with our maintenance contractor Emcon Services, local RCMP and firefighters to test the gate. RCMP also used the test as an opportunity to conduct a Counterattack roadblock for impaired drivers.
It takes about 90 minutes to set up traffic control, open the gate, and have counterflow traffic moving, and the same time again to revert traffic back to normal. So, the gate will be used when we anticipate longer closures.
Of course, we hope the gate won't have to be used much at all; but in case of emergency, there's now a way to keep people and goods moving.
Highly logical, is it not?
Oh to have 4 lanes on the Trans-Canada through the mountains. I lost count of the number of highway closures I have worked on for MVIs a long time ago. Since the coroner and RCMP accident reconstruction specialists aren't local a fatality usually means at least a 6 hour closure with no diversions.
I hope there are some of these on the Port Mann bridge….
There are a similar type of gate on the Port Mann Bridge in that they have the same purpose and function the same way, but they are from a different manufacturer. The gates on the Port Mann are called "armorguard gates".

Q: Convert hex to float How to convert the following hex string to float (single precision 32-bit) in Python?
"41973333" -> 1.88999996185302734375E1

"41995C29" -> 1.91700000762939453125E1

"470FC614" -> 3.6806078125E4

A: In Python 3:
>>> import struct
>>> struct.unpack('!f', bytes.fromhex('41973333'))[0]
18.899999618530273
>>> struct.unpack('!f', bytes.fromhex('41995C29'))[0]
19.170000076293945
>>> struct.unpack('!f', bytes.fromhex('470FC614'))[0]
36806.078125

In Python 2:
>>> import struct
>>> struct.unpack('!f', '41973333'.decode('hex'))[0]
18.899999618530273
>>> struct.unpack('!f', '41995C29'.decode('hex'))[0]
19.170000076293945
>>> struct.unpack('!f', '470FC614'.decode('hex'))[0]
36806.078125

A: I'm guessing this question relates to this one and you are working with 4 bytes rather than 8 hex digits.
"\x41\x91\x33\x33" is a 4 byte string even though it looks like 16
>>> len("\x41\x91\x33\x33")
4
>>> import struct
>>> struct.unpack(">fff","\x41\x97\x33\x33\x41\x99\x5C\x29\x47\x0F\xC6\x14")
(18.899999618530273, 19.170000076293945, 36806.078125)

If you do need to deal with the string of hexdigits rather than the actual bytes, you can use struct.pack to convert it, like this
>>> for hx in ["41973333","41995C29","470FC614"]:
...     print(struct.unpack(">f",struct.pack(">i",int(hx,16)))[0])
...
18.8999996185
19.1700000763
36806.078125

A: Slice up the hex strings into 2-character chunks (bytes), make each chunk into the right byte with int formatting, struct.unpack when done.  I.e.:
import struct

testcases = {
"41973333": 1.88999996185302734375E1,
"41995C29": 1.91700000762939453125E1,
"470FC614": 3.6806078125E4,
}

def hex2float(s):
    bins = ''.join(chr(int(s[x:x+2], 16)) for x in range(0, len(s), 2))
    return struct.unpack('>f', bins)[0]

for s in testcases:
  print hex2float(s), testcases[s]

emitting, as desired:
18.8999996185 18.8999996185
19.1700000763 19.1700000763
36806.078125 36806.078125

A: I recommend using the ctypes module which basically lets you work with low level data types.  In your case you could say
from ctypes import *

def convert(s):
    i = int(s, 16)                   # convert from hex to a Python int
    cp = pointer(c_int(i))           # make this into a c integer
    fp = cast(cp, POINTER(c_float))  # cast the int pointer to a float pointer
    return fp.contents.value         # dereference the pointer, get the float

print convert("41973333")    # returns 1.88999996185302734375E1

print convert("41995C29")    # returns 1.91700000762939453125E1

print convert("470FC614")    # returns 3.6806078125E4

I believe that the ctypes module makes sense here, because you're essentially asking how to perform low-level bit casting.  Your question is basically, how do I tell Python to take some data and interpret that data as if those exact same bits were a different data type?
In C if you had an int and wanted to interpret its bits as a float, you'd do roughly the same thing, taking a pointer and then casting and dereferencing it:
int i = 0x41973333;
float f = *((float*)&i);

and that's exactly what the Python code using the ctypes library is doing in my example.

A: When working from string and without having to slice or index values.
import struct
...
q = int('0x425c0000',16)
b8 = struct.pack('i', q)
dec, = struct.unpack('f', b8)

A: Gentelmen... Behold:
    class fl:
        def __init__(this, value=0, byte_size=4):

            this.value = value

            if this.value: # speedy check (before performing any calculations)
                Fe=((byte_size*8)-1)//(byte_size+1)+(byte_size>2)*byte_size//2+(byte_size==3)
                Fm,Fb,Fie=(((byte_size*8)-(1+Fe)), ~(~0<<Fe-1), (1<<Fe)-1)

                FS,FE,FM=((this.value>>((byte_size*8)-1))&1,(this.value>>Fm)&Fie,this.value&~(~0 << Fm))
                if FE == Fie: this.value=(float('NaN') if FM!=0 else (float('+inf') if FS else float('-inf')))
                else: this.value=((pow(-1,FS)*(2**(FE-Fb-Fm)*((1<<Fm)+FM))) if FE else pow(-1,FS)*(2**(1-Fb-Fm)*FM))

                del Fe; del Fm; del Fb; del Fie; del FS; del FE; del FM

            else: this.value = 0.0

    print fl( 0x41973333 ).value # >>> 18.899999618530273
    print fl( 0x41995C29 ).value # >>> 19.170000076293945
    print fl( 0x470FC614 ).value # >>> 36806.078125
    print fl( 0x00800000 ).value # >>> 1.1754943508222875e-38 (minimum float value)
    print fl( 0x7F7FFFFF ).value # >>> 340282346638528859811704183484516925440L (maximum float value)
    # looks like I've found a small bug o.o
    # the code still works though (the numbers are properly formatted)
    # the result SHOULD be: 3.4028234663852886e+38 (rounded)
    print fl( 0x3f80000000, 5 ).value # >>> 1.0

sorry for the little ".value" at the end...
this code has been used as a class in my program for nearly 2 years now.
(with a little editing, you can easily make it into a function)
credit to PyTony over at DaniWeb for the code.
unlike non-dynamic computing,
the code is not hard-wired to a fixed float size,
and works with any byte-size.
though I guess we still have a few bugs to work out. XDD
(I'll edit this code later (if I can) with the update)
all is good though for now though...
I havn't had a problem converting 3D game models with it. :)

Świnie (świnia) – gra karciana dla dwóch lub więcej graczy. Rozgrywa się ją jedną talią 52 kart. Liczbę talii można zwiększyć przy większej liczbie grających. Starszeństwo kart w tej grze nie ma znaczenia. Celem gry jest możliwie szybkie pozbycie się przez graczy wszystkich kart.

Zasady gry
Potasowane karty rozkłada się na stole w koło, koszulką do góry (karty mogą też leżeć chaotycznie). W środku koła kładzie się jedną kartę, wartością do góry. Pierwszy gracz (wybrany przez losowanie) wybiera jedną kartę z koła, tzw. świnię. Jeśli pasuje kolorem, to kładzie ją na poprzedniej. Potem kładzie dowolną inną (jeśli nie ma żadnej karty, to musi dobrać jedną i położyć ją na stosie). Drugi gracz musi wybrać inną kartę, pasującą do drugiej karty położonej przez pierwszego gracza. Jeśli jednak karta nie pasuje, gracz, który ją wylosował zachowuje ją dla siebie, jednak nie pokazując jej pozostałym (może ją położyć później). Gracz ciągnie karty do chwili, gdy będzie mógł wyciągniętą kartę dołożyć do stosu. Kiedy karty na stole skończą się, gracze dorzucają tylko karty z ręki. Gdy gracz nie będzie miał karty pasującej, a dookoła stosu nie będzie żadnych kart, to dobiera ze stosu karty tak długo, aż będzie mógł dołożyć jedną ze swoich (karty pobrane ze stosu dokładamy w następnej kolejce!).

Gra kończy się w momencie, gdy jeden gracz nie będzie miał żadnych kart i nie będzie kart na stosie.

Women in our families willingly carry heavy undue burden. Let us recognize their contribution to our well-being and happiness. Let us reduce their burden and empower them to carry the tasks that they must. GOD BLESS SHARE & CARE!!!
Women's empowerment means to me equipping women with the tools to protect their individual rights.
John F Kennedy had stated: "Children are the world's most valuable resource and it's best hope for the future". Let us all educate our children (Girls and Boys) from cradle, to have mutual sharing, caring and respect for each other. This will be a step forward to break the wall of intolerance, negligence and exploitation of women. I dedicate this message to all women and children and my two little grand darlings, Naveen and Leela.

Tara is considered to be the Goddess of Universal Compassion who represents virtuous and enlightened activity. The word "Tara" implie: the one who enables living beings to cross the Ocean of Existence and Suffering. Her compassion for living beings, her desire to save them from suffering, is said to be even stronger than a mother's love for her children. The story of Tara's origin: Eons ago she was born as a king's daughter. A spiritual and compassionate princess, she regularly gave offerings and prayers to the ordained monks and nuns. She thus developed great merit, and the monks told her that, because of her spiritual attainments, they would pray that she be reborn as a man and spread Buddhist teachings. She responded that there was no male and no female, that nothing existed in reality, and that she wished to remain in female form to serve other beings until everyone reached enlightenment, hence implying the shortfall in the monk's knowledge in presuming only male preachers for the Buddhist religion. Thus Tara might be considered one of the earliest feminists. May all girls & women be empowered with our Compassion in Action!
Celebrating her 90th birthday. And for all Mothers everywhere—we love you!

Premier League: Magic Mane…
Peter Nurse / January 2, 2020
The league leaders Liverpool have a home game against Sheffield United tonight, seeking a win to cement their strong position at the top of the Premier League while also trying to remain unbeaten for a whole calendar year.
Liverpool's record at Anfield is impressive, to say the least! They are currently enjoying a 50-match unbeaten run at home, winning their last 17. They have also won all 11 of their home games against newly promoted sides under Jurgen Klopp.
All this points to a home win, but Liverpool looked tired in their last game against Wolves and they were also lucky to win the reverse fixture at Bramall Lane.
We think the Reds will win, but we think it could be a tight affair. Consequently we won't side with bets that play better with a lot of goals, like anytime goalscorer, and instead pick a first goalscorer.
Sadio Mane has had an impressive year, scoring 18 goals in his 19 home games in 2019, and he got the only goal on the weekend. We'll back him to get the opener tonight.
Recommendation: Mane to score first goal, 1 pt, at 19/5, Unibet

"Francisco Zúñiga: Sculpture & Drawings" brings together selected works on paper and an exceptional breadth of sculpture in bronze, wood and stone, which masterfully portray Zúñiga's indigenous women as an elemental force. Drawing upon pre-Columbian and classical sources, they are often depicted as sensual, but always heroic. These sculptures and drawings of women – as matriarch or adolescent – have today become powerful iconic images, widely establishing Francisco Zúñiga as Mexico's and Costa Rica's greatest 20th Century sculptor, and according to one recent study, Mexico's most internationally collected artist.
