Spotlight Feature: No Fluff, Just Full Features in the Fedora 16 Cloud
November 11, 2011The Fedora Project Team
Tags:Community
The Fedora Project is proud to announce that the release of Fedora 16, code-named "Verne" includes the latest features for cloud computing. Fedora seeks to offer the best free and open source technology, integrated into a Linux distribution that anyone can freely download, use, modify, and redistribute. The Fedora 16 release includes new features and enhancements for end users, administrators, developers, and enthusiasts.
The Fedora Project is committed to cloud computing and Fedora 16 reflects this commitment with several new cloud tools. This blog will primarily highlight Aeolus, OpenStack and HekaFS.
Aeolus is a tool set designed to build and manage higher-level applications in a cloud and also to create and manage private and hybrid clouds from a choice of resource providers, from private virtualization to public clouds. Aeolus's capabilities in cross-cloud management are made possible by the use of Fedora 16's Deltacloud service. In addition, Aeolus can manage multiple cloud types including EC2, Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization manager, VMWare, and OpenStack. The three Aeolus tools are:
Conductor: gives cloud resources to users, manages their access of the resources and their instances in clouds;
Composer: builds cloud-specific application images from generic templates, and;
Orchestrator: facilitates the management of groups of application instances in an organized way – i.e., bringing up multiple instances in one or multiple clouds with the ability to configure and relate them to one another.
OpenStack is also part of Fedora 16. The Fedora Project began working with OpenStack, an early-stage Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) project that is complementary to Aeolus, on packaging and development work several months ago. And now, Fedora is proud to continue its track record as a venue for innovation and collaboration with the inclusion of OpenStack in Fedora 16, made possible by contributors from a number of different companies. The key OpenStack services in Fedora 16 include:
Object Storage Service (Swift): A highly available, distributed, eventually consistent object/blob store for more efficiently, safely, and cost effectively storing data;
Compute Service (Nova): A cloud computing fabric controller for hosting and managing cloud computing systems;
Image Service (Glance): discovers, registers, and retrieves machine images, and;
Identity Service (Keystone): authenticates and authorizes at high-levels.
With these capabilities, OpenStack provides a nice option for serving as a cloud resource provider for an Aeolus-managed private or hybrid IaaS cloud.
HekaFS makes its premiere appearance in Fedora 16. This distributed/parallel filesystem is "cloud ready" and is based upon GlusterFS. Specifically, it extends GlusterFS to provide features suitable to cloud providers, including stronger authentication and authorization, encryption, a management framework (CLI and web app), and multi-tenancy.
The Fedora Cloud SIG is delighted to bring new cloud features to this release of Fedora . With the combination of Aeolus on top of OpenStack on top of HekaFS, you can create an open cloud in Fedora 16 today. In addition to the features listed above, Fedora 16 also includes several other cloud-related projects, including Sheepdog, a distributed, object-based storage system for QEMU/KVM, and Pacemaker-cloud, a building block for application service high availability in the cloud which is reusable in cloud management systems.

We're excited about Monday's release of an original music video, part of our #StrongArmSelfie colorectal cancer awareness campaign with Fight Colorectal Cancer.
In addition to employees from all three Mayo Clinic campuses, it's great to get the Mayo brothers involved, along with President Lincoln and Lady Liberty.
Dr. Will and Dr. Charlie were the original social networkers. Dr. Will travelled to 25 countries during his lifetime, connecting with other physicians to teach and to learn, and Dr. Charlie visited 9 countries. Both Mayo brothers answered the call to reduce the burden of disease everywhere, not just in their rural Minnesota practice. We believe they would have fully embraced social media – and probably would have used it innovatively.
Which brings us back to the #StrongArmSelfie campaign.
During last year's Social Media Week, we agreed to become the official medical and social media sponsor for the @FightCRC campaign, which is part of its One Million Strong (OMS) movement inspired by the more than one million colorectal cancer survivors.
We contributed links to educational materials on colorectal cancer prevention and treatment. We produced a video about screening options featuring Gastroenterologist Paul Limburg, M.D. We posted one MCCSM staff selfie back in January!
When he was just 11, Craig lost his father to colon cancer and, as a result, has become a strong proponent of screening and early detection. He's donating all of the proceeds from downloads of "Stronger Than That" to support Fight Colorectal Cancer's advocacy mission.
Sharing the "Stronger Than That" YouTube video on Facebook, Twitter or other social networking sites. Remember to include the #StrongArmSelfie hashtag.
Creating your own #StrongArmSelfie and posting it to Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or Vine. Bayer Healthcare is donating $1 to Fight CRC for each post, up to $25,000. If you post to Facebook, make sure it's a public post, tag your friends and challenge them to join you.
Encouraging your employees in creating your own "Stronger Than That" response video and sharing it on YouTube.
Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths among cancers affecting both men and women. It's also one of the most preventable, but one-third of adults who should be screened...haven't. Please help us reduce cancer deaths by encouraging your loved ones, friends and colleagues to get safe, easy, and painless screening for colorectal cancer.
Familiar with the #StrongArmSelfie campaign? You are now.
The Mayo Brothers are taking a stand against colon cancer - even from beyond the grave.
First there was the ice bucket challenge, then Giving Tuesday. Now there's #StrongArmSelfie.
Help reduce cancer deaths by encouraging your loved ones to get a safe and easy screening for colorectal cancer.
Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths among cancers affecting both men and women. It's time to strong arm it.

France/USA 2006
Thomas Bangalter / Guy-Manuel De Homem-Christo
Daft Punk's Electroma
Daft Punk is the ironic nom de plume of successful Paris electronic/house musicians, Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter. Bar their hit single Around the World, I do not know their music and being no fan of synthesizers and drum machines, am not a likely audience for the duo's excursion into feature film (they had previously produced music videos and a feature-length animated film, Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem). Pop music is as much, if not more, about attitude as it is about any musical value and this consideration can be applied here. Daft Punk fans and some aficionados of electronic music may find satisfaction from Electroma, but from a non-devotee's viewpoint it is a slight affair.
Shot by Bangalter, Electroma takes full advantage of the starkness of the desert of California to tell the simple, wordless story of two black-clad robots on a mission to transform themselves into human beings. With a mix of samples ranging from Chopin to Curtis Mayfield (although none of their own music ) underscoring the visuals, one cannot help but recall the Nicolas Roeg classic, The Man Who Fell To Earth, about an alien who is forced to become human which was released in 1976 when Christo and Bangalter were still in nappies. Given that the star of that film, David Bowie, released Low, a benchmark album of part-electro-pop music the same year, it is surprising that The Thin White Duke doesn't get a guernsey here particularly as his fellow art rock alumnus, Brian Eno, does. But then that might have drawn too much attention to the limitations of this project.

100 Greatest F1 Videos – Part II (90-81)
19th June 2006, 21:30 16th June 2008, 0:08 | Written by Keith Collantine
Continuing our countdown of top Formula One videos, numbers 90-81 stretches from Emerson Fittipaldi's first Grand Prix win right up to 2006 with the debut of Nico Rosberg (pictured). Plus another delicious Michael Schumacher controversy. Read on for the next part of our top 10.
Tags f1 / formula one / grand prix / motor sport / video / f1 video
90 – 1993 Japanese Grand Prix, Suzuka – Ayrton Senna punches Eddie Irvine
It had been, by all accounts, an eventful debut for Eddie Irvine. Drafted into the Jordan-Hart at Suzuka, a track he new well, Irvine shone when the rain fell and briefly unlapped himself from leader Senna. Towards the end of the race, Irvine nerfed off Derek Warwick at the chicane to steal sixth place and a point in his first race. Senna, not too pleased with Irvine's cheek, walloped him afterwards.
89 – 1975 Dutch Grand Prix, Zandvoort – James Hunt, and Hesketh, score their first win
The tiny Hesketh outfit were something of a joke in the Formula One paddock. Bankrolled by the largesse of Lord Hesketh, the one-car outfit ran a March chassis for James Hunt 'The Shunt', and came to Formula One because it was not much dearer than Formula Two, where they weren't doing very well anyway. But a coming-of-age performance from Hunt at Zandvoort gave them their first – and only – win. It was a foretaste of what was to come next year, as Hunt fended off Niki Lauda's Ferrari to the flag.
88 – 2006 Bahrain Grand Prix, Bahrain – Nico Rosberg storms into F1
While Fernando Alonso and Michael Schumacher duelled for supremacy at the front of the pack, Nico Rosberg was making the kind of debut every aspiring F1 driver dreams of. Apart from the first corner, that is, where he lost his front wing. But in a spirited fightback he showed all the combative brilliance of his father Keke (champion in 1982), especially when he sliced past Scott Speed into turn one.
87 – 1998 French Grand Prix – Martin Brundle quizzes Michael Schumacher
In 1990 Jackie Stewart famously hauled Ayrton Senna over the coals in a televised interview over the Brazilian's various racing indiscretions. Eight years later, Martin Brundle did much the same to his ex-team mate Michael Schumacher, over the Adelaide '94, Jerez '97 and Montreal '98 incidents. (Don't worry – we've got the Stewart interview coming up later too…)
86 – 1993 Champ Car round one, Surfers' Paradise, Australia – Nigel Mansell's debut win
Reigning Formula One champion Nigel Mansell made a perfect start to his Indy Car career, winning first time out at Surfer's Paradise. He went on to win the title, becoming the only driver in history to hold both the Formula One and Indy Car championships simultaneously.
85 – 1993 Belgian Grand Prix, Spa-Francorchamps – Alex Zanardi's crash
The FIA had already decided to ban traction control for the 1994 season when this horrific crash befell Alessandro Zanardi. The computer-controlled suspension system on his Lotus failed on the approach to Spa-Francorchamps' fearsomely quick Eau Rouge corner.
Zanardi survived, and despite a comeback attempt the following year he left for the Indy Car championship. He won that series twice before an abortive return to F1 in 1999. In 2001, having returned to American racing, he lost both his legs in an even worse crash than this one. Remarkably he is still racing and won a round of the World Touring Car Championship last year.
84 – 2005 Belgian Grand Prix, Spa-Fancorchamps – lap with Jacques Villeneuve
Despite the numerous safety improvements made to Spa (note the changes to Eau Rouge since the previous video) and the fact that it was voted top in an FIA poll of the fans' favourite circuits, it is off the calendar in 2006. Hopefully it will return, but in the meantime enjoy this lap with a driver unstinting in his praise for the circuit, despite his many crashes at Eau Rouge – Jacques Villeneuve.
83 – 1970 United States Grand Prix, Watkins Glen – Emerson Fittipaldi's first win
Lotus were drivers' and constructors' champions in 1970. But that did nothing to lessen the tragedy of Jochen Rindt's death – the first ever posthumous champion. Four weeks later their new driver Emerson Fittipaldi claimed his first ever Grand Prix win, at only his fifth attempt, on the same day that Rindt's lead in the championship became unassailable.
82 – 1998 British Grand Prix, Silverstone – Michael Schumacher wins in the pits
Atrociously wet weather plunged the British Grand Prix into chaos – you'd think the British, of all people, could cope with a few drops of rain. Having belatedly realise that Michael Schumacher had incurred a punishment for overtaking Alexander Wurz under yellow flags, Schumacher's Ferrari team were notified of the decision too late. Nonetheless they took the penalty – on the final lap, after Schumacher had crossed the line in the pit lane. Thanks to the stewards' mistake, the result stood.
81 – Australian non-championship Grand Prix, Sandown Park – Juan Manuel Fangio battles Jack Brabham
Five-times champion Juan Manuel Fangio made a memorable appearance at Sandown Park, flinging his Mercedes W196 around the circuit in battle with Jack Brabham.

Attrition: The Days Miami Died
April 9, 2014: On March 28th the U.S. Navy decommissioned one of its nuclear submarines; the USS Miami (SSN 755). Entering service in 1990, Miami was not supposed to be decommissioned so soon and the navy has been trying to keep the boat in service after the sub was damaged by a shipyard fire in 2012. But no solution worked. In 2013 the navy concluded that recent budget cuts were making it impossible to spend half a billion dollars to repair the fire damage.
It was not for want of trying and some innovative thinking. In late 2012 the navy thought it had a way to keep those Miami repair bills affordable. The plan was to salvage components from the recently (2011) decommissioned USS Memphis. This boat entered service in 1977, 13 years before the Miami. While the Memphis was one of the "original" 31 Los Angeles boats and the Miami is one of the third generation (Improved Los Angeles) designs, both share many common components, especially in the forward part of the boat where Miami suffered most of its fire damage.
The 2012 Miami blaze occurred while the sub was in the Portsmouth (Maine) Naval Yard for maintenance and upgrades. Initially the navy estimated that the sub suffered $400 million in damage. But a more detailed examination revealed that it would cost at least $450 million and probably north of half a billion to fix the sub. The navy thought cannibalizing the similar Memphis would help, but the savings were not sufficient and the budget cuts forced the navy to prioritize. Getting an elderly and burned-out SSN back into fighting trim no longer looked like a good investment.
The USS Miami fire (set by a deranged shipyard worker) took place in May 2012, and early on there were fears that the 22 year old Miami might be scrapped because of the high cost of repairs. It's not just fires that these old Los Angeles class boats have to worry about. In 2009 a 25mm (one inch) hairline crack was found on the pressure hull of the (then) 14 year old USS Toledo. The crack was in the metal plate, not a weld, which was replaced. Above the crack there was a 53 cm (21 inch) hairline crack in the outer (non-pressurized) hull, which was under the sail. The USS Toledo had just undergone a three year refit, costing $179 million, when these cracks were discovered. The sub was sent to a nearby (to New London, Connecticut) shipyard for repairs. At first it was thought some of these cracks were related to a recent scandal where shipyard workers failed to check for substandard welds but that was not the case with the Toledo. The navy began having doubts about the reliability of its aging fleet of Los Angeles class subs.
Such a crack in the pressure hull is a serious problem because it makes it more likely that the pressure hull would fail and flood the boat, at less than the "test depth" (about two thirds the "design depth," which is the maximum depth the sub can operate at). Going a little deeper gets you to the collapse (or "crush") depth, at which the pressure hull is crushed and implodes. The deepest diving U.S. subs, the Seawolf class, are believed to have a test depth of 490 meters (1,600 feet) and a collapse depth of 730 meters (2,400 feet). During World War II collapse depths were never more than 300 meters (a thousand feet). Since then, larger boats, built of stronger metals, have greatly increased the depth subs can operate at. But that only works if the crew knows the limits of their boats and discovering cracks in the pressure hull reduces those limits. Using Memphis components for the Miami repairs would have made possible close inspection of those items, to see if there was any more unexpected deterioration. The Miami hull has already been checked for any damage from the fire and none was found. But the older a sub gets, the more likely metal fatigue and years at sea will cause undiscovered weaknesses.
Both the Miami and the Toledo were among the latest "improved Los Angeles" boats. With the Miami being retired, a much older (in terms of technology) boat may have to delay retirement and fill in. Upgrading one of these older boats would also be expensive. If the repairs for the Miami did indeed cost less than half a billion, then it was worth keeping the Miami in service. But as much as the navy wants to maintain the size of its SSN force, there is no major threat for these SSNs in the foreseeable future. Retiring the Miami a decade early will not be a major loss.
The navy is putting most of its cash into building new Virginia class boats to replace the 40 (of 62) remaining Los Angeles subs. The most recent Los Angeles boats entered service in 1996, and will be gone by the end of the 2020s. Ten Virginias are in service and another 20 are planned. If the navy can scrounge up enough cash it can build two a year and they can have all the Virginias in service before the Los Angeles class is gone. Otherwise, the SSN fleet will shrink because additional old Los Angeles subs will be retiring compared to new Virginia's entering service.

Memoirs of an Incognito Friend: Another Sex Party
After his first encounter at that Sex Party my buddy sure got curious to do it again. He felt confident after exploring this new wild territory and kept wondering when and how his next time there will unfold. Just as I expected, he was actually ready to take a "date" with him.
Now this isn't your every-day decision. It's a big thing. Who would you take with you to such a party? Who are you going to trust seeing you indulge in whatever kink you may have? Equally, who is going to trust you? Not many qualify when we think about it. Therefore he didn't push it, knowing down deep inside that there will be another time.
Then one day he received an unexpected message from a woman he knows and who sort of fancies him. He mentioned to her that there is a "sex party" at night, and to his moderate surprise she agreed to go.
"You're a perv, you know?" She jokingly wrote along a smiley face.
"Yeah, and that's why you like me. It feels good to be different," he responded.
Being in her early 40s, the woman was excited yet confused and had many questions. Her first was: "Do I have to fuck?" To which he replied, "Not at all. Many people go these events just to watch and enjoy the safe, unconventional liberating atmosphere."
Having been there before, he further reassured her by sending the club's rules along with the article I had written about his first time. He thought that since the story is right there, he might as well send it to her so she can better grasp the whole scene.
"It's funny, but I'm starting to freak out," she texted him a little later.
Trying to reassure her in a candid way, he wrote, "Don't freak. After all, you're with me, THE biggest freak." I'm not too sure if these words helped.
This was early afternoon and they agreed to meet by 9. Neat.
The woman passed by, looking all seductive and appearing seemingly calm, too calm even. He later found out that it was just a way to hide her anxiety. She was nervous so she overacted being calm, to an almost placid, unexcited mood. As mentioned, this wasn't your casual date, especially that it's her first time — with the guy alone and going to a debauchery.
Despite the subtle uneasiness, they still headed to the place. She was driving while he was navigating. Before getting there he sensed the woman's tension rising. It wasn't long before she confessed that she doesn't think she is able to do this.
Since they were five minutes away, the guy told her that they might as well go in and take a look. This was an experience she has never been through and, again, she is safe with him. He also reminded her that the entrance for couples is free. So there really is nothing to lose; it's simply an experience gained. Single men requite a 'donation', though.
But the woman seemed like she had already made up her mind. She asked if he could catch an Uber back if she dropped him at the club. He said yes and wondered for a few moments if he should go in by himself or just go back home.
While lost in thoughts and a slightly awkward silence, they had already arrived to the venue. Lots of parked cars could be seen outside, which made him try one last time by telling her that this is a good sign; the night could be real fun and they could leave whenever they wanted.
The woman wasn't convinced and appeared a little troubled. Probably part of her anxiety was due to that bizarre party she has never seen before, another was maybe because she was disappointed that she just flaked on the guy at the last second.
A couple of minutes later she dropped him right before the entrance. They bid farewell and he went in.
He was still getting over the sketch he just went through and getting ready for a different kind of adventure than the one he had planned. Alone again, however, he felt free. A new, dark club where he knows no one and no one knows him: How liberating.
At the inner gate he had to give them the password. With all the commotion though he could only remember half of it. While standing there he decided to tell them about what just happened about the 'girl' who was supposed to come with him and who just bailed out at the entrance, saying that it's too weird to go to these places. And there he is alone.
They looked amused by his story and asked if he had been to any of their events before, to which he said yes but at a different location. When they further asked how was it, he told them that it was a little small and stuffy, and that he hopes here is bigger and 'better' — knowing that it's a better neighbourhood he already knew that and thought to pump their egos. They agreed that it is a 'better' location and let him in after paying.
The club was indeed bigger. There was one big hall with a snack bar (no alcohol) and five darkened rooms. Some have beds, other have leather chairs and mirrors.
He took a stroll around to check and found that the people were prettier than last time. As he felt more at ease, it wasn't long before he engaged in some oral action with a blondie.
Ten minutes later, it was a different room and a different kind of steamy action with a brunette. It eventually involved a third silhouette who came from behind, sandwiching her between them and my bud. Standing close by, a group of three or four people were watching in silence, some touching were themselves.
Another 30 minutes in the club, he finally had his last encounter and released all his load while other voyeurs anticipatingly enjoying the view.
A final tour and he left the venue knowing that, with or without 'date', he'll probably be back someday.
The next morning he received a message from the woman, asking if he had fun. She also apologised for what happened. "I'm more shy and conservative than you might imagine; I tried but I couldn't. Maybe one day."
He understood where she was coming from, texted her not to worry and that maybe spending the day on the beach or by the pool is more up her alley. "Oh and I did have fun. Twice," he wrote.
Until the next adventure of my incognito friend.

Imagine that you are in a beautiful spot in nature, perhaps on a hill where you can see woods and flowers and animals around you. Center yourself. When you have done so and are relaxed, gently begin to expand your center downwards through your body until it meets with the earth below you. It is easier to do this the first time if you are outside and can actually feel the ground, but it is not necessary.
Before you go any further, listen to your own heartbeat, your own inner music. Keep hold of that, as it will help you stay within yourself and move to meet the earth at the same time. Press down through the earth until you can feel like you are also a part of it. Sink a root deep into the earth like a tree does. Extend yourself out a bit further and listen. Listen for the music of the earth, the deep drumming rhythm of her heartbeat. Listen to how it matches your own. Connect the two and feel her around you.
This place is where you can draw from when your own energy is low, when you need comfort, or when you just need to dump out bad feelings and energy. The earth will take it all and recycle it and return it to you. When your connection to the earth is secure, draw some of its energy into yourself. Learn the feel of it and let it mingle with your own. Let it slowly fill you as you let go of the bad experiences of the week. Give them away and let them drain from you even as you replace it with pure, clean energy of the earth.
Let it fill you until you are full. When you reach that point, imagine it coming out the top of your head like a tree trunk or as branches. Reach them up into the sky. Feel the energy of the sun and the world and let it come into you as well, mixing with the others, driving away all the dark, murky, and bad corners of the soul. When everything is balanced and steady in you, see your branches drooping back over and brushing the earth in a graceful arch. Let them connect into the earth and let the energy flow through you, up and around and return through the branches to the earth in a large, slow circle.
When you feel clean and whole, slowly stop the flow of energy. Close off your root to the earth a bit and return to your own center. Let all the excess energy that you have return to the earth through the branches until you are no longer bursting with it, but remember to always keep enough within yourself to feel whole and well. Let the images of root and tree fade until you are back within the center of your being only.
Stay in this place until you feel whole and rested and within yourself again. This may take some time. If you have trouble, place your palms flat on the ground and force some of the energy back out of you and into it. You've probably kept a bit too much.
As you become more proficient, you will be able to listen to the world and what she has to say to you. When you are centered and grounded into yourself and into her, your thoughts will often clear and you will know what you need to do. There will be many times that you have wonderful ideas to try something new here. Don't be afraid to try them.


A conservation easement is making it difficult for the Winchester family to fix a rotting bridge and repair graves opened by fallen tree.
A 2003 Chevy Suburban bounces along a dirt road off Scenic Highway 11, past the ghost of the old Winchester home place, past a field of dandelions shedding gossamer snowflakes, and into the wilderness.
Helen Winchester Dodgens is taking me to see her roots.
Deeper into the woods we go until we arrive at a decrepit old wooden bridge, where we'll have to get out and walk the rest of the way.
Our destination: a field of small upturned granite slabs on a nearby rise, marked off by pieces of a white picket fence.
The Winchester family of Pickens County, owners of all the land in these parts in centuries past, has been burying its dead here since 1735.
Every year in late September, Winchesters come from near and far to a family reunion that includes a pilgrimage up that bumpy road to this hallowed place.
The past couple of years, though, not everybody has been able to get there. The 12-foot wooden bridge the family built over a creek below the cemetery has grown so rotten that even crossing it on foot it is an adventure. You sure wouldn't want to attempt it in a vehicle.
The family has money in its cemetery fund to take down the old bridge and put in a culvert that would allow smooth passage across the creek and up to the graveyard.
"It's not that big a deal," said Dale Winchester, Helen's cousin who lives in California and comes here for the reunion every year.
But because this land is under a conservation easement — a legal agreement that protects property from development in perpetuity — it's not as simple as it might seem. The property, formerly owned by the Winchesters, then by Duke Power, is now owned by Naturaland Trust and managed by Upstate Forever, which holds the easement that forever preserves its natural state.
Before I go into the complexities of the situation, let me tell you about another problem that seems like it should be fairly easy to fix but isn't.
On one edge of the cemetery, a giant oak tree has fallen over, ripping open two graves and tossing the headstone of two brothers killed in the Civil War some 10 feet from its original spot.
"Their mother went to Columbia with a horse and wagon and brought the two brothers back for burial here in this cemetery," Helen says sadly, as if remembering the event herself.
There are other trees around the cemetery that Wes Cooler, a member of the Naturaland Trust board, marked with orange ribbons, designating that they should be cut, either because they're unhealthy or because they could damage the graves if they fell.
Because of the easement, a forest management plan will have to be written before any trees can be cut — even ones that have already fallen over, according to Scott Park, land conservation director for Upstate Forever. But here's where the story gets murky.
Park told me he thinks that toppled tree is actually on land owned by a private individual whose property line cuts through the cemetery.
"So they could probably do whatever they need to with that tree anyway without even infringing on the easement," he said.
So … if that's the case, why hasn't somebody already told them that? (The family believes the property line is farther away).
Park said he believes the family should work with Naturaland Trust to get that forestry management plan done, because it would have to encompass the entire tract of nearly 300-acres.
"I think the landowner needs to be spearheading that management plan," he said.
That's not the way Mac Stone, the executive director of Naturaland Trust, explained it to me.
The family first needs to get an engineering study, detailing what they want to do, and turn it in to Upstate Forever, he said.
"These are plans that have to go through Upstate Forever and the Upstate Forever committee has to vote on the amendment," he said. But he said Naturaland has offered to move the fallen tree.
I'm not sure exactly what has to be in this plan, but Helen gave me a copy of a plan that gives pretty specific detail about what they want to do. It includes Wes Cooler's evaluation of the culvert fix, including the estimated stream flows and the size and slope of the drainage area; and a list of all the trees that should be removed – eight Virginia pines, two white pines, seven black oaks, one sweet gum, one black gum and three sourwoods — and tells why for each one.
Helen said she sent all this to Upstate Forever and Naturaland Trust and has received no response. She also sent copies to Gov. Henry McMaster and members of the Pickens County legislative delegation to try to get some action.
Stone said the Winchesters simply waited until too late to complete the process that's required to take action.
"We know it's an historic site, and we welcome them to have their reunion and to be able to pay tribute to their ancestors there," he said.
But you have to follow the process.
This has been a frustrating situation for Helen and all her extended family, going back several years.
"I've cried so many tears over it I don't know what to do," she said.
Helen, who is a former member of the Pickens County School Board, contacted me. I rode up that bumpy road with her and walked, gingerly, across that rickety bridge and trod the ground where her ancestors have laid these many years.
Most of the 90 or so moss-covered gravestones have long since lost any markings that would identify which relative lays where. But that doesn't really matter. It's a sacred plot of earth that binds kinfolk together and connects them to their past.
After hearing all sides of this story, I think a breakdown in communication may be part of the problem.
"Sometimes government gets in the way of what's practical, and we need to get out of the way and let's get it fixed," he said.
I think all parties want the same thing – to protect our natural mountain landscapes and at the same time allow a family to honor its heritage.
Here's hoping that the oldest Winchesters at the next family reunion will be able to make it up to that little graveyard in the shadow of Howell Mountain, to drink deeply in the spirit of kinship that connects them to this land and to their ancestors. And that the circle, as the song says, will be unbroken.


Simple movement and music are key elements to Rosen Movement. Movement is natural and essential for a healthy body, mind and spirit. With low impact movement, we gently move all the parts of our bodies in ways that feel good and let the breathing relax along with the muscles. Music of all sorts supports/accompanies us as we move! Come to either class in Minneapolis or St. Paul. Classes are $15 and drop-in's are welcome! Bring an exercise mat and/or blanket, water bottle and dress in comfortable clothes. Call Marjorie at (612) 242-6646 or email marjorie@marjoriehuebner.com for more information.
A sense of community, which is gained by moving together with others while learning to support and be supported. This helps us to cope with everyday stress.
Support with balance and strengthening, which improves body alignment and flexibility, helping to prevent injuries while we age gracefully.
A complement to other movement practices, and help with preparing your body for more strenuous activities.
A chance to learn new movement patterns, which helps us to develop sensitivity to and awareness of self and others.
Rosen Movement, as created by physical therapist Marion Rosen, utilizes range of motion movements for the joints and movements for stretching muscles. Rosen Movement brings a smile to my face whenever I do it which inspired me to learn to teach it and bring it to others.
We bring body awareness to what is moving. We notice how it feels to move. As we learn to relax and to soften areas of stiffness, we bring pleasure, ease and enjoyment to moving.
All movement is done to a variety music, which energizes, inspires, supports, and motivates us to move.
Rosen Movement was created by Marion Rosen, who began her career as a physical therapist. From her knowledge of physical therapy, she utilized the range-of-motion exercises for the joints of the body, movements for stretching muscles, and movements that promoted the expansion of the natural breath. Learning about balance, alignment, and how to move from the core are also important elements in each class.
Her patients asked her to develop a class to keep them from needing Physical Therapy in the first place. So she called it "Physical Therapy in reverse." The goal was to keep the body healthy and limber in order to age gracefully. She added music to support and naturally stimulate movement. She used partner work and touch to help class participants to be more aware of the specific ways that different parts of our bodies move and feel.
The movements are designed to move each joint in its full range, which stimulates the production of synovial fluid, this is the body's way of keeping the joints lubricated. This only happens when we move the joints, so we need to keep them moving.
Movement promotes the brain/body connection through proprioception. Proprioception is the sense of where we are in space. The brain integrates information from proprioception and from the vestibular (balance) system into its overall sense of body position, movement, and speed. Such integration is necessary for healthy body awareness.
Music, used in Rosen Movement classes, taps into the universal human creation of music found in all cultures. Watching children want to move when they hear music highlights the innate connection to music and the movement of the body.
Marion Rosen, PT. Founder, Rosen Method Movement.
I love this class. It works through all the joints in my body, from tiny to big ones in gentle but delightful ways. The music adds greatly to the joyful movements. Marjorie is an attentive, wise, and inspiring teacher. It's one class I wouldn't want to miss. I'm a 72 year old active resident of St Anthony Park neighborhood.
Rosen class sets me up for the day. In fact, it sets me up for the week! My week begins and ends on Thursday.
I've been in Marjorie's Rosen classes many times, and each time I feel joy! And, I'm often touched to tears, at her gentle, kind manner, the magical music, and my bodies response to these graceful movements. Highly recommended!
Thank you for your connection, your caring, your curiosity. I so appreciate the way you move in life.
Attending Marjorie's weekly Rosen Method Movement class is a must in my self-care regimen. My back goes out from time to time, and this class helps keep me limber and in gentle shape. I love the variety of exercises in the class and Marjorie's attention to all of the parts and joints of the body. The music is great too! I leave with such a light heart and grounded sensibility.
Thank you for the wonderful spirit you bring to your teaching. I greatly appreciate your openness and accessibility as a teacher and person.
When I go to Marjorie Huebner's Rose Movement class, I know I am going to move every joint in my body in a gentle but effective way that feels good. I know I will probably learn something interesting or useful in class. And I can count on having fun along the way. I find that every time I leave class I feel better than when I arrived. What more could I ask!
I have had breast cancer and a recurrence. Throughout my cancer experience – chemotherapy, surgery, radiation and post treatment, I tried to get to my Rosen Movement class as soon as I was physically able. Marjorie's class has been an important part of my healing process. The intentional but careful stretching and movements were helpful in dealing with pain from my mastectomy, lymph node dissection, and also from the lymphedema. I often found myself doing some of the movements at home to help me get more range of motion in my left arm and shoulder, and to help me work with the pain. In addition to the physical benefits of Rosen Movement, the music and the group nature of the Rosen Movement class was part of my emotional and spiritual healing. I would highly recommend anyone dealing with recovery from a physical or emotional problem to participate in this Rosen Movement class.
Marjorie is an extremely generous and knowledgeable teacher. I have definitely improved my balance and flexibility due to the class, and her eclectic music choices are always fun.
Though I've only been at class for a mere number of weeks, I know why so many have been with you for 12 years. It has been a true and wonderful treasure to have stumbled upon Your Class. And you. What you feel showered upon you has truly been showered upon me – each and every class. Thank YOU.


This chic design summer kimono is probably from the early to the mid 1900s. The kimono is made from fine "ro" silk and the design of the kimono is an abstract stripe in yellow and black. This tiger-like design was created by traditional katazome (stencil dye) technique. The kimono has no lining as you find most of summer kimonos. It is in excellent condition.

Q: Customised MultiResourceItemReader: assign different mappers/writers for each file inside an archive I have a requirement to read/process an archive which contains several flat files, each file should have it's own mapping and writer.
How do I go about assigning different FieldSetmappers and Writers for each file
using the bean configuration.
I have started with extending the MultiResourceItemReader and overriding the open method
as shown here:
    @Override
    public void open(ExecutionContext executionContext)
            throws ItemStreamException {

        ZipFile zipFile;
        List<Resource> resources = new ArrayList<Resource>();
        try {
            zipFile = new ZipFile(pathtozipfile);
            Enumeration zippedFile = zipFile.entries();
            while (zippedFile.hasMoreElements()) {
                ZipEntry zipEntry = (ZipEntry) zippedFile.nextElement();
                resources.add(new InputStreamResource(zipFile
                        .getInputStream(zipEntry), zipEntry.getName()));

            }
        } catch (IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        this.setResources(resources.toArray(new Resource[resources.size()]));

        super.open(executionContext);
    }

and the bean declaration as follows:
<bean id="itemReader" class="com.proc.spring.ZipMResourceItemReader" scope="step">
        <property name="pathtozipfile" value="#{jobParameters['input.pathtozipfile']}" />
        <property name="delegate" ref="delegateReader" />   </bean>

 <bean id="delegateReader" class="org.springframework.batch.item.file.FlatFileItemReader">
        <property name="lineMapper1">
        <bean class="org.springframework.batch.item.file.mapping.." />
        </property>
   </bean>

I know programmatically, I could use the getCurrentResource() during read but I expect spring must support the ability to assign different FieldSetMappers based on current resource of the MultiResourceItemReader.
I guess perhaps extracting the files as the first step then assign each file/resource to a step: FlatFileItemReader would be solution  but would prefer to use delegate method if its possible to differentiate the mappers/writers based on the resource name.

A: First of all: extract all files in a previous step is the best pratice.
A solution can involve a custom ResourceAwareItemReaderItemStream used to dispatch to correct reader looking at current resource name; you can do dispatch manually or using a Classifier. This custom reader is used as delegate of your multiresource item reader.
class ReaderDispatcher implements ResourceAwareItemReaderItemStream<Object> {
  private ItemReader<Object> delegate1;
  private ItemReader<Object> delegate2;
  private ItemReader<Object> delegate1;
  private ItemReader<Object> currentDelegate;
  private Resource resource;

  public setResource(org.springframework.core.io.Resource resource) {
    this.resource = resource;
    currentDelegate = getDelegateFromResource();
  }
  public Object read() {
    return currentDelegate.read();
  }
  // Others interfaces implementation (or extends from one of abstract reader/stream implementations)
  private ItemReader getDelegateFromResource() {
    // here code to detect right reader from delegateN
  }
}

(sorry for untested/incomplete code; I am unable to check it, but I hope you can see the idea behind).
You can pre-configure your readers with its own fieldSetMapper or any other customization you want.
Check ResourceAwareItemWriterItemStream for writer counterpart of reader interface.

Can Alligators Eat Turtles As Prey? (Can They Even Eat One?)
The Alligator And The Turtle
Do Alligators Eat Turtles?
How Easy Is It For An Alligator To Catch A Turtle?
Can Alligators Eat Turtle-Shells?
What About Snapping Turtles?
Do They Eat Turtle Eggs?
Alligator Facts!
What Is The Bite Power Of Alligators?
What Is An Alligator Snapping Turtle?
How Long Do They Grow?
Alligators are known for their aggressive nature, but did you know that they also eat turtles? Some species of alligators prefer turtle meat over other types of prey.
Alligators are large reptiles found throughout North and South America. They are carnivorous animals that feed primarily on fish, amphibians, birds, mammals, and occasionally reptiles.
The largest alligator ever recorded was a male named "Big Al," who weighed 1000 pounds.
Although alligators are generally considered dangerous predators, they are omnivores that consume both plants and animals. Turtles are a common food source for alligators, but they are often mistaken for baby gators.
In this article, we look at this in closer detail to tell you that although there are pictures out there of alligators and turtles together, the picture might not be as friendly as you first may think.
Turtles are aquatic creatures that live in freshwater or saltwater environments. They have soft shells made up of calcium carbonate plates and can grow to lengths of 8.5 inches.
Their bodies are covered with scales that protect them from predators. There are more than 300 different species of turtles worldwide.
Alligators are long-bodied, crocodilian reptiles that inhabit freshwater habitats. They are native to most parts of North America and South America.
Most alligators are technically omnivores, but have a carnivorous nature, meaning they do sometimes eat plant matter, but they will mostly eat small amounts of insects, other invertebrates, and larger prey.
Alligators eat turtles simply because they need food, and although they appear friendly in the wild, their instincts as wild predators always set in when hungry.
Alligators are usually hungry when they hunt. If an alligator spots a turtle, he'll try to grab it, as they can't afford to be fussy, especially when there is a lack of food in the area.
If a turtle is the most accessible and easiest source of prey, an alligator will not hesitate in the slightest to eat it.
If the alligator grabs the turtle, he'll drag it into the water, especially turtles that are laying on the edge of the water which makes them easy targets. If the turtle has his back to the gator, they will not stand a chance.
If the alligator doesn't get the turtle, however, then he'll leave.
Turtles are slow-moving creatures that are usually found near the edge of rivers, lakes, ponds, etc. They do not move much, and this makes them an easy target.
Young alligators are not yet able to kill turtles, but they will eventually be able to do so when they grow up. This is due to their size, and before adulthood, alligators instead eat much smaller prey such as insects, worms, and fish.
They then venture to bigger reptiles and animals as they grow.
Although alligators often eat bigger animals when they are fully grown, the fact turtles spend most of their time at the edge of the water makes it easier prey to catch than a deer for example, who only comes to the water for a drink on rare occasions.
Turtles are slow-moving creatures. They're not aggressive towards other animals and they are also very vulnerable because they have soft skin.
Alligators however are strong enough to crack a turtle's shell and this makes them easy enough to eat.
Since they have a carnivorous nature, this allows them to eat anything that moves and is in reach, especially during their feeding period.
An alligator eating a turtle would be as easy as a human eating a pistachio shell. Alligators have an incredibly strong jaw meaning cracking a hard shell like a turtle shell would be relatively easy.
The alligator may even bite off the head first, leaving the body behind.
Yes, Alligators do eat turtle shells. Alligators are known to eat a lot of different things, including fish, snakes, mammals, birds, frogs, lizards, and many more.
Some people believe that alligators eat turtle shells because they want to eat the meat inside like other prey, but this isn't true. Alligators eat turtle shells because it provides them with calcium and nutrients.
Alligators can kill turtles in one bite. They crush the turtle's shell to make a big chunk of meat. Their stomach is made to digest bones and cartilage, and any other hard thing they swallow, making it easy to digest a turtle shell.
Alligators' jaws are strong enough to do damage to a turtle's shell before eating. Their teeth can crush bones and their bite force can reach up to 9,452 newtons, which is about 2,124 pounds.
They usually do not swallow their prey whole; instead, they break it into smaller pieces.
Alligators usually drown their prey before swallowing it and since turtles hold their breath underwater, it is much easier for an alligator to instead crush their body before killing and swallowing.
Snapping turtles can become prey for alligators, the same as other species of turtles can. Snapping turtles live in freshwater, just like alligators do and so they would normally be susceptible to becoming alligator food quite easily.
Despite them being a more aggressive breed of turtle, alligators can still prey on snapping turtles.
There is a variety of snapping turtles and they are named after their similarities to alligators and the spikes on top of them, they are known as alligator snapping turtles and even though they are similar, they can still end up being prey, since alligators are so much bigger and stronger.
Alligators do not normally eat turtle eggs as grabbing and eating eggs off the ground can prove tricky with such a long jaw.
The shape of their mouth prevents them from doing so, and alligators instead like to prey on much bigger prey such as turtles.
Bigger prey has much more meat, meaning they'll have more to eat and will stay much fuller for longer.
Alligators are reptiles that can survive without eating for up to three years. Their metabolic rate slows down when they're on a fasting period, but they'll still be around if food is available, and when this is available, they eat once a week.
Alligators are very close to dinosaurs, and they've been living for over 180 million years. This could be to do with how long they can survive without food!
Alligators are not one of the smartest animals in the world, as their brain weighs about 8-9 grams on average. This is nothing compared to their average weight of 600 pounds.
They're able to care for their babies for 3 years.
Similar to turtles, the sex of a newborn depends on the nest temperature. Females are born in colder temperatures and males are born if the nest temperature reaches over 34 degrees Celsius.
Alligators are slow-moving creatures, but can easily evade danger. Their spikes help to protect against predators. Their bodies are covered by spikes that make it tricky for anything to get through their skin.
Alligators are very dangerous animals. They are often seen as vicious predators, but they prefer to eat smaller animals than humans.
They are also known to be aggressive when defending themselves or their territory.
Yes, alligators are capable of consuming turtles. Although most alligators only consume larger prey items, their convenient location in the water and on the water's edge makes them easy prey.
Alligators may seem to be friendly to turtles, but their instincts will always set in when they are hungry.
Their bite force can reach up to 9,452 newtons — that's about 2,124 lbs!
There is also a variety of snapping turtles named after alligators, as they resemble alligators and their spikes, they are called alligator snapping turtles.
Male alligators can reach 1,000 pounds but on average, grow to about 11 feet (3.5 meters) long and weigh 600 pounds, while females can reach about half the weight of their male counterparts and grow to about 8 feet.
If you enjoyed reading this article then please share it with your friends and family and any other alligator enthusiasts!
We hope you learned something new today and are all clued up on the relationship between alligators and turtles.
Although they appear to be friendly, alligators will not hesitate to eat a turtle if it is the closest prey in sight, so don't be fooled!

Thom Hartmann MONOPOLIES: How Big Business Destroyed the American Dream
http://docs.google.com/uc?export=open&id=1Zj7W1kpZA1800CBDFfTdAU4KVcGZtL5i&extension=.mp3
The latest in Thom Hartmann's Hidden History series has just been released by Barret-Koehler Publishing, THE HIDDEN HISTORY OF MONOPOLIES: HOW BIG BUSINESS DESTROYED THE AMERICAN DREAM. In addition to his daily 3 hour radio program, he somehow finds the time and energy to write the Hidden History Series, and he has been generous enough to be our guest on Forthright Radio each time one is published.
Here's what Ralph Nader writes in the forward to THE HIDDEN HISTORY OF MONOPOLIES: HOW BIG BUSINESS DESTROYED THE AMERICAN DREAM:
"This is the most important, dynamic book – small as it is – on the cancers of monopoly by giant corporations written in our generation. he goes on "Because he is by far the most erudite longtime national radio talk show host, he has had an uncanny sense of retrieving critical segments of American history, ignored by historians, regarding the suspicion and caution our forbears had about this artificial entity called the large corporation as it became more immune and more privileged than real human beings……" he goes on from there, but we'll just let the Thom speak and you can hear for yourself why Nader has such high appreciation of the man.
You can find the past shows on the Forthright.media archives.

M.A. Taylor: The Creepy Line
http://docs.google.com/uc?export=open&id=1xVLBK534h5N6osBU1vl0oKV1DvoG_gpu&extension=.mp3
In his documentary, THE CREEPY LINE, M.A. Taylor takes a critical look at the power of internet companies to control information, influence consumers and the electorate, and dominate 21st century culture, economics and politics.
In particular, Facebook and Google dominate the global internet, resisting meaningful regulation by government.
Former Google CEO, Eric Schmidt, said that Google operates right up to what he calls "the creepy line," controlling platforms that seem not to be connected to it, and blocking access to individuals without recourse, appeal or explanation.
Canadian university psychology professor, Dr. Jordan Peterson, had his youtube channel removed after he wrote against pending legislation in the Canadian Parliament.
Dr. Robert Epstein had all of his Google apps from email to website abruptly blocked. He found that there was no service department to explain or remediate this violation. He has conducted numerous experiments demonstrating how platforms such as Google can change opinions of voters and consumers to astounding degrees.
Taylor asserts that unlike corporations such as Apple and Microsoft, which deliver products – for hefty prices – companies like Facebook and Google don't sell us products: we ARE their product. Their data collection and increasing surveillance of almost every aspect of our lives, which they sell to other companies, the government and anyone they choose, should be of concern to citizens everywhere who value democracy.

David Cay Johnston – It's Even Worse Than You Think
http://docs.google.com/uc?export=open&id=1KbL1-cGDyTu2R1FMfnOfYO7HndWb1OPm&extension=.mp3
We welcome back Pulitzer Prize Winning investigative journalist and best-selling author, David Cay Johnston. In this interview recorded on January 26, 2018, we discuss his latest books, IT'S WORSE THAN YOU THINK: WHAT THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS DOING TO AMERICA, just out from Simon & Schuster, and THE MAKING OF DONALD TRUMP, published in 2016 by Melville House.
David Cay Johnston digs deep, gets the facts others evade, ignore or fail to look for – much less find – and exposes exactly how the American system is rigged in favor of the 1% of the 1%.
When he was 18 years old the San Jose Mercury recruited him. His investigations over the next four decades appeared in that paper, The New York Times & other national journals. He exposed LAPD political spying and brutality, and he once hunted down a killer, whom the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department had failed to catch, resulting in an innocent man winning acquittal at his fifth trial; revealed news blackouts and manipulations that forced a six-station broadcast chain off the air; deconstructed the way foreign agents from South Africa and Taiwan secretly influenced American government policy; misuse of charitable funds at United Way; and explained the economics of former GE chairman Jack Welch's retirement perks, prompting Welch to relinquish them.
He teaches business regulation, property and tax law at Syracuse University's law and graduate business schools.
We last had him on Forthright Radio in 2012, when the 3rd book in his trilogy on the American Economy – The Fine Print: How Big Companies Use "Plain English" to Rob You Blind, which focused on monopolies, had just been published.
We also revisit a segment from this 2012 interview with David Cay Johnston, in which he explicitly states that PG&E's failure to properly maintain & replace power poles would lead to deadly wildfires, a prediction that came all too tragically true in October 2017.
The full interview from 10-31-12 is posted below this interview:
https://forthright.media/2018/02/05/david-cay-johnston-the-fine-print-how-big-companies-use-plain-english-to-rob-you-blind/
The other two books were – Perfectly Legal: The Covert Campaign to Rig Our Tax System to Benefit the Super Rich — and Cheat Everybody Else (2004 Investigative Book of the Year award winner), and Free Lunch: How the Wealthiest Americans Enrich Themselves at Government Expense (and Stick You With the Bill), both of which were New York Times and Wall Street Journal best sellers.

The labour minister prefers setting a minimum valorisation limit for 2017 that will be expressed by a fixed amount and not by a percentage calculated from inflation.
The scheme for increasing pensions in Slovakia is supposed to change next year, meaning that retirement pensions could increase by a fixed amount. Minister of Labour, Social Affairs and the Family Jan Richter (Smer) indicated that the changes might result in a pension increase of more than €8.
The ambition of the minister is that pensions increase by more than 2 percent, regardless of future inflation, which would mean more than €8.
"However, this has to be financially bearable for the state budget," said Richter.
Richter prefers setting a minimum valorisation limit for 2017 that will be expressed by a fixed amount and not by a percentage calculated from inflation, as is the case for this year. Although negative inflation last year brought a positive result for consumers, it caused a lower increase in pensions. As a result, pensions increased by €1.9 in 2016.
Meanwhile, the Labour Ministry is preparing several other changes to the pension system. Apart from modifying the valorisation scheme, changes are envisaged for the Christmas bonus and the private second pension pillar.
At the end of April the average old age pension in 5.4-million strong Slovakia was €414.70 when the number of pensioners amounted to almost 1.04 million.

Pay Day Jackpot Slot Gameplay
Pay Day Jackpot is not the kind of game you can explain in just a few words. It's entertaining, popular, but most importantly, it allows the users to feel the same old sensation of the classical jackpot in an exciting new way. Pay Day Jackpot is no quite like the 3 reel slot but a lot of things about Pay Day Jackpot makes it connected to not just the original slot but also with the modern version of the online slots. While the game and its bonuses are to be discussed later in the game, the very construction of the game marks it as an attractive yet simple slot to play.
Everi's Pay Day Jackpot has this unique charm which makes it a favorite among classic slot fans. Starting from the background, it's plain black. Now, unlike other games which gave these fancy graphics and pictures, Pay Day Jackpot it seems to have established itself as a simple and to-the-point game which is urging players to stick to the original plan of the game and play. The graphics and symbols used in Pay Day Jackpot, however, are made with dedication and are indeed attractive. While the background is too simple and plain, the symbols displayed are nonetheless attractive.
Pay Day Jackpot Slot Features
To understand more about Pay Day Jackpot can offer, here is what you need to know:
Getting on the more technical side of the game, Pay Day Jackpot is a 5 Reel 40 Payline game. The RTP of the game is around 94% which happens to be reasonable and quite decent. The Wild symbol is represented by Wild. The game has a lot of fruits in as symbols. The Scatter symbol in this game is Bonus. To understand what the game can offer in bonus, here are a few things that can help clear:
If you manage to land at least 3 or more Bonus symbols anywhere in the slot, you're eligible to try Free spins. The free spins can take you on a ride in Pay Day Jackpot and it all depends on how many bonus symbols you can get. The minimum number of free spins you can get for 3 bonus is 6. The spins increase as you score 4 bonuses and are awarded as much as 10 spins. If you manage to score 5 bonuses, you'll get 20 free spins.
Pay Day Jackpot, like all other games, demand your luck and its ability to be in your favor and where luck is needed the most is when you need to multiply your wins. The very loose and perhaps the easiest part of the game is that you manage to land symbols in a consecutive reel where you are awarded prizes. These prizes may vary depending on the symbols you land.
The awards offered are total 3 in number and have to be picked by the player. One of the three rewards is having to multiply your bet from 6 times to 120 times! You can also at least 2 picks and if you're lucky enough to land on Jackpot Jump symbol, you'll be interested to know what's that about. Once that is unlocked, it manages to create another consecutive tier and once it all gets matched, a big reward is thrown into the player.
A very brief verdict of Pay Day Jackpot can be summed up in one simple sentence that the game is entertaining and has the necessary traits of being a classical slot, but being such a game also means that it may not offer as many bonuses, features as it is expected. While Pay Day Jackpot has the aura and the attitude for being a classic and appealing to the users who enjoy classic themes, the bonus features are not quite as exciting as one might expect. While it is relieving to enjoy free spins based on the number of times the bonus symbol appears, the features availed after the bonus symbols are not quite sufficient and can be increased.
Pay Day Jackpot does offer the attitude of a classic slot but an insufficient number of prices and spins can affect the game's ranking in the classic theme slots, let alone other games. But on the bright side, the game is fairly simple and there are no complicated levels or bonuses, which makes it perfect for a traditional simple user who enjoys the strictly classical jackpot theme.
Similar Themed Games With Pay Day Jackpot:
A lot of games can be found that share the same theme as Pay Day Jackpot. One of the most exciting games that mark in this territory are Fruit Chamber and Power Joker. These games are remarkably simple and appear to be very similar as Pay Day Jackpot.

HISTORY OF THE KINGS RIVER CONSERVANCY
Margaret Thorburn, Founding President
Margaret Thorburn received her Bachelor of Science degree with honors from the University of California, Berkeley, and earned her Master's in Nursing Education from Fresno State College where she was Professor Emerita of Nursing. Through the years Margaret was an active member of numerous community organizations including the Fresno Philharmonic Association. She was secretary of the San Joaquin River Parkway and Conservation Trust and past president of the Kings River Conservancy.
The Kings River Conservancy was formed in 2005 in response to specific areas of need. A clear, coordinated vision for the future was needed to protect the Lower Kings River and respond to a series of challenges and changes that include:
Population growth in the Central Valley in general, and Fresno and Tulare Counties around the Kings River in particular, that will bring an increased demand for regional outdoor recreation opportunities as well as the protection of riparian lands and related habitats.
Need for a clear strategy to balance resource management with public access for outdoor recreation and education.
Need to balance perspectives that while the river corridor is attractive in both its natural state and for development, the river also presents flooding hazards to life and property.
Assurance that the water quality in both the river and the groundwater basins adjacent to it is not degraded by nearby development and runoff from land uses that are not buffered from the waters.
Development of a systematic approach to the interface between public and private land uses along the river corridor as urbanization, aggregate resource mining, and other land use changes continue.
The Conservancy takes its role of stewardship seriously and continues promote programs and activities in partnership with federal, state, and local agencies, other private organizations, and property owners to:
Enhance awareness of the environmental values of the Lower Kings River.
Implement environmental education programs.
Develop an educational museum.
Identify capital improvement and management needs to enhance access and use of public properties along the lower Kings River for recreation and education.
The lower Kings River is an outstanding example of a significant riparian habitat of regional and statewide significance. It is significant in its physical scope, natural beauty, diversity of species, and extent to which the corridor has been preserved. It offers unique recreation and interpretation opportunities for all visitors. The Kings River Conservancy works to ensure that resource conservation and stewardship values guide public access management and development to assure the sustenance of a quality riparian habitat corridor both now and in the future.

Atyati presented UniKwan an opportunity to enhance the user experience of their service platform GANASEVA. The former has been planning to become the sole most reliable last mile partner to go to and expand its domain from its stronghold i.e., banking sector to other areas of interest. Dependency on help desk and troubleshooting were the major shortcomings of the present platform. A design thinking workshop conducted by UniKwan with all the stakeholders was critical in understanding the business requirements, which then proposed a service design for the entire service delivery system.
Atyati is a fin-tech company that operates in the last mile-the bottom of the pyramid. Atyati provides entire or part of the ecosystem required for reaching rural and semi-urban markets for Government, Banks, MFIs, NBFCs, Insurers, FMCG or Healthcare companies, E-commerce players, NGOs, Automobile manufacturers or any other company in Retail business.
A User research was carried out for two sets of target audience sitting on the extreme ends of the ganaseva service (a technology platform), the service providers (Banks, Financial Institutions, E-commerce etc. ) and the consumers (BOP, Last mile). The service providers needed better discoverability, accessibility, and interface for the service platform. The consumers needed better services and user satisfaction.
A user-centered approach to innovation and design of services was taken to come with game changing strategies and create an impact overall. During this course, participants were introduced to a broad set of research tools and techniques that can be used to innovate and design services that make a difference to users and the business.
UniKwan conducted a user research for the target audience of Atyati. Groups were identified and contextual interviews were carried out in distant villages in West Bengal and Andhra Pradesh. The user statements were interpreted and patterns were observed to find the latent and urgent needs of the user.
The communication model of the whole system for revisited due to lack of digital awareness and gaps in policies. These problems were tackled by devising new policies, products and solutions for long term and short term. For example better interfaces for the platform, cutting down the redundancies in the service and including other services along with financial services. The solution in the form of a service blueprint was documented and delivered.


During the product-development phase of an agile management project, most of the activity naturally falls to the development team. The product owner continues to work with the development team on an as-needed basis to provide clarification and to approve developed functionality. The scrum master focuses on protecting the development team from outside disruptions and removing impediments the development team encounters.
Pair up development team members to complete tasks. Doing so enhances the quality of the work and encourages sharing skills.
Follow the development team's agreed-upon design standards. If you can't, revisit these standards and improve them.
If new, nice-to-have features become apparent during development, add them to the product backlog. Avoid working on new features that are outside the sprint goal.
Integrate changes made during the day, one set at a time. Test for 100 percent correctness. Integrate changes at least once a day; some teams integrate several times a day.
Create technical documentation as you work. Don't wait until the end of the sprint or, worse still, the end of the sprint prior to a release.
Start development by setting up automated tests.
Undertake code reviews to ensure that the code follows development standards. Identify areas that need revising. Add the revisions as tasks in the sprint backlog.

Hearing due for homeless Samaritan suing couple who raised funds for him

A homeless man whose selfless act of using his last US$20 to fill up the fuel tank of a stranded motorist in Philadelphia got him worldwide attention is suing the couple who led a US$400,000 fundraising campaign to help him.
Johnny Bobbitt says he's concerned that Mark D'Amico and Katie McClure have mismanaged a large part of the donations raised for him on GoFundMe.
The New Jersey couple denies the claims, saying they're wary of giving Bobbitt large sums because they feared he would buy drugs.
Bobbitt's lawsuit contends the couple committed fraud by taking money from the fundraising campaign for themselves.
He's seeking undisclosed damages, and his lawyers want a judge to appoint someone to oversee the account.
A hearing on the lawsuit is scheduled for tomorrow.
McClure set up the online fundraiser page as a way to give back to Bobbitt, who came to her aid when she ran out of gas on an Interstate 95 exit ramp late one night.
It raised more than US$400,000 in funds donated by more than 14,000 people.
Bobbitt walked a few blocks to buy McClure petrol. She didn't have money to repay him at the time, but sought him out days later to give him the money, and visited him a few more times to bring food and water. They later appeared on news shows.
But the relationship has since gone sour.

Christopher Fallon, one of Bobbitt's lawyers, told the Philadelphia Inquirer that the legal action was taken after D'Amico ignored multiple requests for a full accounting of the money raised by the GoFundMe campaign.
"He's really left us with no choice but to go forward," said Fallon, one of two pro bono lawyers from Cozen O'Connor in Philadelphia whom Bobbitt retained last week.

McClure and D'Amico have repeatedly denied any wrongdoing or misusing any of the money.
D'Amico has said Bobbitt spent US$25,000 in less than two weeks in December on drugs, in addition to paying overdue legal bills and sending money to his family.
The couple also bought Bobbitt a camper with some of the funds and parked it on land McClure's family owns in Florence.
But Bobbitt became homeless again after D'Amico told him in June that he had to leave the property.
During an appearance on Tuesday on NBC's Megyn Kelly Today show, D'Amico told Kelly there was well over US$150,000 left of the donations.
