Gettysburg is most famous for being the location of the decisive battle of the Civil War as well as the place where Abraham Lincoln gave his acclaimed Address.
What you may not know is that is has also been deemed by many as the most haunted place in America. Farnsworth House has been named by international publications as the most haunted B&B in the US. Other inns and hotels have also featured on haunted theme programs on the Travel and Sci-Fi Channel. Numerous books have been written about ghosts in Gettysburg, many of which have become ghost tours through the streets of historic Gettysburg.
Are you brave enough to add it to your holiday?!
A portrait of American history, this trip mixes the modern bustle of Washington, D.C., the simple Amish life of Lancaster County, and landmarks from the Revolutionary and Civil Wars.

How to get an 85% Raise
By Clay Cerny
1%, business, Demos, executive compensation, Goldman Sachs, James Gorman, Lloyd Blankfein, Morgan Stanley, pay increase, progressive, raise
Run a big bank. Buzzfeed reports that James Gorman, head of Morgan Stanley, has been given an 85% pay increase, upping his income to $18 million. To put things in perspective, Gorman is credited with turning the company around, and he still makes less than Goldman Sach's chief Lloyd Blankfein, whose annual compensation is $23 million. Still, in a time when most Americans consider a 3% annual raise to be normal, an 85% pay increase sounds like some people play a different game. That's because they do. Momma, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys. Send them to a great MBA program that feeds investment banks. It seems that's the only way to get ahead in 21st century America.

It is one of the best arguments I've ever read in my 72-plus years. The author uses the raising of her two children as a base to make not just the case for moral teaching without god, but also for why raising a child in a god-centered environment may be immoral and dangerous for the child's mental and moral development. The examples she cites are, in legal terms, "compelling." I know of only this piece, but there must be more, because she is a university professor of ethics. Her name is Katarzyna de Lazari-Radek.
It is after reading her essay four times that I feel compelled to write my own commentary. Because she emphasizes obedience, rather than morality, as a religious driving force, I will also.
When I entered the monastery, my question to the priest adviser was the same you hear from many believers: "I want to do the will of god. How can I possibly know what that will is?" The answer came back without hesitation, "We will TELL you what it is." It wasn't until years later that I read that those who did not want to make decisions for their lives often entered religious orders. From my experience and observation of others, in two monasteries, I tend to agree. In fact, one of the VOWS of religious orders, and probably the priesthood, is OBEDIENCE.
So, submission to the "will of god" is commanded and demanded by all Christian teaching, and the word ISLAM means "submission." The major lesson is submission to this will, thru obedience, even if it means killing your own child, or allowing someone else to do it. Even though the deity who commands this is immoral, by Biblical example, one is only "following orders," ergo, not responsible.
Because the deity is neither vocal nor visible, by what means does it impart its WILL? Why, through those who SPEAK FOR GOD. THEY will tell you what and who to obey, give reasons to justify (when they feel like it), but, always and above all, emphasize the absolute requirement to give one's all in obedience.
Because a primary rationalization and lesson taught by religion to children, not to be questioned, is that the end justifies the means, it may even be virtuous to commit atrocities for the greater good - indeed it may sometimes be necessary. Also, it becomes necessary to lie, steal, cheat, and rob others of properties and life itself, if it advances the kingdom of god. This is evil disguised as virtue, but it is no different from what this god has done. Just ask his spokesmen. Whoops! Don't ask, just OBEY. It's a no-no to do otherwise, to follow your own conscience. Just do what "god" commands. Don't even question god's authorities. OBEY.
One can see the effects today, on the news, of those blindly obeying the will of god. We find Christian militia planning to kill law enforcement officers in order to incite others to overthrow our government, an outgrowth of the Christian Right movement. We find religious organizations attempting to force prayer and religious readings and "intelligent design" into public schools, and taking tax monies to proselytize. All "god's will." To protect the churches, the very mouthpieces of god, child rapists went unreported, protected by the god authorities. The list goes on. Feel free to add your own examples.
As moral individuals, we must protest these evils as loudly and as often as possible. In the words of George Santayana, "In order for evil to succeed, it is only necessary for good men to do nothing." It is a fiction that a god demands these efforts from believers, and we must make this known to them and others. We must make them take responsibility for THEIR actions, as we do ours.

Q: Keycloak, openId-connect userInfo I'm trying to get info about user roles using openId-connect endpoints of Keycloak. I'm using /auth/realms/moje/protocol/openid-connect/userinfo endpoint to get info about authenticated user. I'm able to get info about name, username, email etc. but I'm not able to force Keyclak to give me info about user roles.
I've read openID documentation and I didn't find any info about got to get roles... I think that there must be a way to find out user roles... Maybe there is another endpoint... I can't find any info...
So finally my question is : Is there any way to get info about user roles using openID connect endpoints ?

A: if you have Client Secret key, then You can get the user role info by passing that secret key.

A: You have to manually map realm roles to userInfo and then you will be able to retrieve them with this endpoint. Go to keycloak admin console and choose your client, go to mapper tab and create a mapper for realm roles (it is a built in mapper, no need to create it manually). By default it will inject realm roles into jwt token, but not into ID token and userInfo. Enable the option for injecting into userInfo. Then you should be able to see the roles.

A: You can find all associated roles under the JWT. No need to invoke a endpoint. /auth/realms/moje/protocol/openid-connect/userinfo is to check the validity of JWT.

Q: How to compare time string with current time in java? I have a time string like "15:30" i want to compare that string with the current time.
Please suggest something easy.
And how to get the current time in hour minute format("HH:mm")

A: Just compare the strings as normal like so:
String currentTime = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm").format(new Date());
String timeToCompare = "15:30";
boolean x = currentTime.equals(timeToCompare);

If the times are the same x will be true if they are not x will be false

A: Following would get the time. You can than use it to compare
String currentTime=new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm").format(new Date());

A: tl;dr
LocalTime
    .now()
    .isAfter(
        LocalTime.parse( "15:30" )
    )

Details
You should be thinking the other way around: How to get that string turned into a time value. You would not attempt math by turning your numbers into strings. So too with date-time values.
Avoid the old bundled classes, java.util.Date and .Calendar as they are notoriously troublesome, flawed both in design and implementation. They are supplanted by the new java.time package in Java 8. And java.time was inspired by Joda-Time.
Both java.time and Joda-Time offer a class to capture a time-of-day without any date to time zone: LocalTime.
java.time
Using the java.time classes built into Java, specifically LocalTime. Get the current time-of-day in your local time zone. Construct a time-of-day per your input string. Compare with the isBefore, isAfter, or isEqual methods.
LocalTime now = LocalTime.now();
LocalTime limit = LocalTime.parse( "15:30" );
Boolean isLate = now.isAfter( limit );

Better to specify your desired/expected time zone rather than rely implicitly on the JVM's current default time zone.
ZoneId z = ZoneId.of( "Pacific/Auckland" ) ;
LocalTime now = LocalTime.now( z );  // Explicitly specify the desired/expected time zone.
LocalTime limit = LocalTime.parse( "15:30" );
Boolean isLate = now.isAfter( limit );

Joda-Time
The code in this case using the Joda-Time library  happens to be nearly the same as the code seen above for java.time.
Beware that the Joda-Time project is now in maintenance mode, with the team advising migration to the java.time classes.

About java.time
The java.time framework is built into Java 8 and later. These classes supplant the troublesome old legacy date-time classes such as java.util.Date, Calendar, & SimpleDateFormat.
The Joda-Time project, now in maintenance mode, advises migration to the java.time classes.
To learn more, see the Oracle Tutorial. And search Stack Overflow for many examples and explanations. Specification is JSR 310.
Where to obtain the java.time classes?

*

*Java SE 8, Java SE 9, and later

*Built-in.

*Part of the standard Java API with a bundled implementation.

*Java 9 adds some minor features and fixes.

*Java SE 6 and Java SE 7

*Much of the java.time functionality is back-ported to Java 6 & 7 in ThreeTen-Backport.

*Android

*The ThreeTenABP project adapts ThreeTen-Backport (mentioned above) for Android specifically.

*See How to use ThreeTenABP….

The ThreeTen-Extra project extends java.time with additional classes. This project is a proving ground for possible future additions to java.time. You may find some useful classes here such as Interval, YearWeek, YearQuarter, and more.

A: I have a similar situation where I need to compare time string like "15:30" with the current time.
I am using Java 7 so I can not use Basil Bourque's solution.
So I have implemented one method which takes one string like "15:30" and
check with current time and returns true if current time is after input time.
public static boolean checkSlaMissedOrNot(String sla) throws ParseException {
        boolean slaMissedOrnot = false;
        Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
        cal.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, Integer.parseInt(sla.substring(0, 2)));
        cal.set(Calendar.MINUTE, Integer.parseInt(sla.substring(3)));
        cal.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
        cal.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);
        if (Calendar.getInstance().after(cal)) {
            System.out.println("it's SLA missed");
            slaMissedOrnot = true;
        } else {
            System.out.println("it's fine & not SLA missed");
        }
        return slaMissedOrnot;
    }

Calendar has other use full methods like after(Object when)

Returns whether this Calendar represents a time after the time represented by the specified Object.
  You can use this method also to compare time string with the current time.

A: So my Solution is a little bit different, Its starts with creating an clock with the current time, and testing the hour agaisnt a user defined int.
    public void TextClockWindow() {

    this.pack();

    javax.swing.Timer t = new javax.swing.Timer(1000, (ActionEvent e) -> {
        Calendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar();
        String am_pm;
        calendar.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getDefault());

        Calendar now = Calendar.getInstance();
        int h = now.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
        int m = now.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
        int s = now.get(Calendar.SECOND);

        if (calendar.get(Calendar.AM_PM) == 0) {
            am_pm = "AM";

        } else {
            am_pm = "PM";

        }   // Code to Determine whether the time is AM or PM

        Clock.setText("" + h + ":" + m + " " + am_pm);

        if(h < 5) { //int here which tests agaisnt the hour evwery second
        System.out.println("Success");
        } else {
        System.out.println("Failure");
        }
    });
    t.start();
}

A: Try this
public static String compareTime(String d) {
        if (null == d)
            return "";

        try {

            SimpleDateFormat sdf= new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm");
            d = sdf.format(new Date());
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();

        }

        return d;

    }

then you can compare with your string

A: Here is my example to compare before and after current time :
MainActivity.java
Button search = (Button) findViewById(R.id.searchBus);
        SimpleDateFormat sdfDate = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm");

        String limit = "23:00";
        Date limitBus=null;
        try {
            limitBus = sdfDate.parse(limit);
        } catch (ParseException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        String start = "07:15";
        Date startBus=null;
        try {
            startBus = sdfDate.parse(start);
        } catch (ParseException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        String user_time = getCurrentTimeStamp();
        Date now = null;
        try {
            now = sdfDate.parse(user_time);
        } catch (ParseException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        if (now.after(limitBus)||now.before(startBus)){
            Toast.makeText(this, "Bus Operation Hours : 7:15AM - 11.00PM", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            search.setEnabled(false);
        }

        else
        {
            search.setEnabled(true);
        }

//get current time method
 public static String getCurrentTimeStamp() {
        SimpleDateFormat sdfDate = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm");//dd/MM/yyyy
        Date now = new Date();
        String strDate = sdfDate.format(now);
        return strDate;
    }

A: This code will check User Inputted time with current system time and will return time difference in long value.
public long getTimeDifferenceInMillis (String dateTime) {

        SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");

        long currentTime = new Date().getTime();
        long endTime = 0;

        try {
            //Parsing the user Inputed time ("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss")
            endTime = dateFormat.parse(dateTime).getTime();
        } catch (ParseException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            return 0;
        }

        if (endTime > currentTime)
            return endTime - currentTime;
        else
            return 0;
    }

The user should pass the time in "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss" format.

Quakertown Borough is proud to be a part of the Upper Bucks area.
Quakertown operates their own water and sewer systems. This tradition of enterprise and hard work has been carried on down through the years, to present-day Quakertown. It is the charming blend of the past and the present, old traditions and progressive spirit which make Quakertown a pleasant place to live and work. Radon could be affecting you and your loved ones, as it is prevalent in Quakertown.
Scientific analysis of radon levels in homes in Quakertown and many other Pennsylvania cities have found that 10% or more of homes contain dangerous levels of radon. Radon is a naturally occurring gas that can be removed from the house though radon mitigation.
On average, 20,000 Americans die each year from radon exposure. Most of the exposure happens in their own home, where radon has a chance to build up over time because it is trapped by the walls and foundation. The percentage of radon contamination in Bucks County homes can be very high. Radon in Quakertown affects on average 10-40% of all homes.

Book Of Ra Deluxe 6 slot is the same as a Book Of Ra Deluxe, but with six reels... And the extra reel can be turned off. The 6th reel changing the game process completely. If you play without the sixth drum, slot becomes a regularly updated slot of the classic version. The only difference is the lithe change of the music of the slot.
The frequency of falling of the bonus is statistically, every 131st spins (0,76%).
The probability of a hit (any winning) is 28,40%.
The maximum payout during the tests was 1 148x.
The average winning from the bonus was 95x.
Volatility is 13,1 out of 20 (high).
The rating of the slot machine for the wagering is 2,83 out of 10.
The RTP of 95.03% does not allow you to get a positive mathematical expectation.
Learn how to win at the Book Of Ra Deluxe 6 slot machine.
The first and most important feature of the slot is the additional reel. At first glance, it may seem that it does not change anything - it seems to be the same payout percentage (about 95.03%), and all the same (same symbols), - but the differences are big. Take a look at the payout table. When the sixth reel (with Extra Bet button in the upper right corner of the screen) is activated, the maximum payment (for the loss of five or six "Men," respectively) increases from 25,000 to 75,000 coins! But of course, all this has a price. The dispersion is also increased several times! This means that to get the maximum winning is extremely difficult.
The main task is to catch the bonus game with 10 free spins. And last but not least: you must be lucky with a bonus symbol, which is selected before the game.
Whenever this character falls during the free spins, it will be expanded to the entire length of the reel.
Playing at six reels it is not so necessary, because even on 5 reels the prizes are good. A sixth reel will need high bankroll and a lot of patience.
We have added secrets (hidden parameters: volatility, wagering rating, review and recommendations of testing team) in the review of Book of Ra Deluxe 6 slot. Besides, you can find information about how often the bonus feature is triggered. The best choice for real money game is Fastpay casino. Here you will find instant withdrawals and fair play.

'Es Cine Español' (This is Spanish Cinema) stamp
1 Business Entertainment
'Es Cine Español' Stamp To Identity Spanish Productions Overseas
August 10, 2018 Eurasia Review 0 Comments
The Cinematography and Audiovisual Arts Institute (Spanish acronym: ICAA) is making the 'Es Cine Español' (This is Spanish Cinema) stamp available to Spanish producers.
This is a new stamp that must be included before the credit titles of films that receive subsidies pursuant to the new scheme of cinema aid, the Spanish government said in a statement.
For the Director-General of the ICAA, Beatríz Navas, "Spain produces films in languages that are not official languages of our State and co-produces many films with other countries, and hence these sometimes go unnoticed by the media and society. As they are filmed aboard, in another language or by a director who is not Spanish they are not associated with our cinema industry, but behind these films there are Spanish producers and professionals who know how to move in an industry and a market that is larger than our national market. This stamp has been created to publicize this reality and highlight the capacity of the Spanish film sector to extend its scope of action, to be competitive and to adapt to an increasingly global world".
Use of 'Es Cine Español' stamp
Given the growing trend of co-productions and the production of films in foreign languages, the ICAA includes this stamp to create its own identity and achieve a better positioning of the Spanish film brand in foreign markets, and particularly in the domestic market.
Pursuant to Order CUD/769/2018, of July 17, establishing the regulatory bases for subsidies provided for in Chapter III of the Cinema Act 55/2007, of December 28, determining the structure of the Administrative Register of Cinematography and Audiovisual Enterprises, and in accordance with its Article 9 (General obligations of beneficiaries), specifically in point g), in those films in which there is majority Spanish participation, this 'Es Cine Español' stamp must be included before the credit titles in line with the model that appears on the web page of the Cinematography and Audiovisual Arts Institute.

You are here: Home / Chiropractic questions and answers / The chiropractic treatment / What is a chiropractic visit like?
What is a chiropractic visit like? A visit to the chiropractor begins when you walk through the clinic door and are greeted by the receptionist. Visits are very similar to what you might expect at any health clinic.
Information: Paperwork is provided to you to be completed including a health history form and information about your health complaint. You may also be asked for contact information for your patient file. The reception staff can also answer any questions you may have about what to expect.
Case History: Once in the exam room, your chiropractic doctor will introduce him/herself, review your paperwork and ask further questions about your condition and history. Further notes are made to your chart depending on your answers.
Examination: A physical exam is conducted which may mean touching or palpating areas of your body. Your chiropractic doctor will also look for neurological symptoms that could point to an injury involving your nerves. An x-ray or other imaging is recommended in some cases. This will also include some physical tests such as leaning your body to one side and then the other, checking your reflexes and or moving your arms and legs. Depending on your symptoms, you may be asked to wear a gown for examination and treatment purposes.
Diagnosis: The exam provides clues for your doctor as to what is causing the problem. After all of this information is gathered, your doctor will provide you with a diagnosis. If your doctor suspects that your problem is not caused by the spine, you may be referred to a specialist or other health care provider.
Informed Consent: Your doctor will discuss the informed consent form with you and request your signature before you continue treatment. Informed consent is about ensuring the patient is clear as to the diagnosis, treatment options and anticipated outcomes of the treatment.
Treatment: A treatment plan including the types of treatment and how many visits is proposed and discussed. Your doctor will make sure you understand what this means. Once you understand your treatment plan and feel comfortable moving forward, your doctor will perform the treatment, which may consist of a chiropractic adjustment. Adjustments are generally performed on a chiropractic table, similar to a massage table.
Prevention: How did you end up in this situation? Your doctor will help you identify the cause of your condition, whether it is from poor posture while studying, a repetitive strain injury from the workplace or anything else in between. Exercises and lifestyle advice will accompany your treatment plan. The goal is to get you well and keep you well.
After your visit you may feel some discomfort or fatigue but this should not last more than 24 hours. Many patients feel relief and increased mobility immediately after treatment while others notice changes more gradually. If you follow your treatment plan, you should notice a change in your level of pain or mobility within 3 to 5 visits and maximum recovery within on average 6-8 visits* depending on the nature of the condition or injury. Your Doctor of Chiropractic will review and discuss what you can expect from your treatment.
*Although the Provincial average is 6-8 visits, the range is large with some patients responding much quicker and a few taking much longer.


HammondCare is one of Australia's leading providers of palliative, rehabilitation, aged and dementia care. Established in 1932 by Anglican Archdeacon R B S Hammond, they have grown to over 21 sites Australia wide.
HammondCare facilities, as with many buildings, evolved around independent and standalone systems such as air conditioning, lighting, metering and back-up power generators. Manual metering and monitoring of fridges, freezers and water management resulted in an overall fragmented approach.
Managing these various systems to achieve efficiencies and cost effectiveness at a site level can be challenging, let alone across 21 sites.
HammondCare approached mySmart to develop and implement an intelligent environment approach which integrated their numerous systems onto one operational platform and enabled the capturing and analysis of data.

In a previous post I talked about alignment and decoupling. Motivated by some mails and questions pointing out this seems contradictory, I want to dig a little deeper on what it means for us.
Remember, that we at My Porsche decided to decouple our systems in a way that teams can develop their functionality independently from others. Our main driver for this is time-to-market — and thus — relevance for our customers.
On the other hand, it is important to ensure that the different services we offer in our digital eco-system are perceived as "one". The user should not notice that he is switching between services developed by different teams (people who bought a product in a shiny store in seconds and faced hours in support hotlines once having problems with the product they purchased know what I am talking about).
The picture above shows a high-level diagram of our approach to tackle the challenge to balance alignment and team independence. On top you can see the customer — using our services. In the bottom you can see some of our teams offering their services (in grey).
In-between you can see that we develop common standards for cross-cutting concerns we believe are important for a seamless digital experience (in blue). Apart from having a single digital identity and a common UI design, we came up with additional rules & common standards for a seamless digital user experience.
You will notice that we have identified rules for scoping the product (exposed as services), the conceptual components (in the service and the UI layer) and the interfaces between our products.
Take our messaging product for example. It provides a secure inbox for delivering messages to our customers. When a system wants to deliver a message to the customer, it uses a REST-API in the service layer to submit the message.
The messaging service show the message to the customer via web application that is part of the messaging product in the UI layer. Other products — such as our landing page can use the REST-API to show the number of unread mails — and create a deep link to the UI showing the inbox, filtering etc. Other systems — such as a Backend for Frontend (BFF) for an app could subscribe to a Kafka topic that signals a new message — so that the BFF can send a push notification to a mobile app.
Supported Languages and Countries: We have different offerings and texts (e.g. instructions, legal texts) that differ per country. Without agreeing what languages we support in what country, there is the danger that language changes inside a user journey.
Browser support: Without agreeing on the same set of browsers, we cannot ensure that the user does not end up in a dead-end when being forwarded to a system that does not support the browser he started with.
Number of system environments (e.g. development, integration, production): Without agreeing on how many stages/system environments we have on a system level, we will not be able to test user journeys end-to-end because comprehensive test data will be impossible to produce.
Logging & monitoring: Without agreeing on standards on logging and monitoring we will not be able to provide support.
Authentication: Without agreeing on standards for user-authentication, users will have to re-authenticate during their user journey.
UI design / UX: Without standards / samples for user interface design, pages will look different. We ensure this via a UI-Kit that contains ready-to use UI elements (actually this goes beyond UI elements and also includes a common dictionary, translation process etc. to ensure that we use the same terms for things).
Documentation: Without common standards for documentation of our products (think of this as a product catalog) we risk people solving the same customer-relevant aspects twice (e.g. two products offering services how addresses are formatted — leading to incompatibilities when re-using address data across systems).
Networking & Connectivity: Without standards for networking and connectivity (we chose the public internet), we risk situations where we cannot connect systems to each other, because products might have been created in legacy network zones that restrict internet connectivity.
There are other aspects where we believe we need to invest in (e.g. resilience and performance/timeouts), but we haven't come up with good rules, yet. Which brings me to how we create such rules. The rules are not created by a single governance body. Instead, the product teams identify these rules as they come up. In our guilds (e.g. UX, tech, devops, …) we discuss them — and check if they seem relevant (e.g. the networking rule seems obvious, but we missed that at some point in time). When discussing, we first check if we risk negative user impact if we do not have such a rule. Next, we investigate the status quo, asking why people solved things differently — and finally trying to find consensus for a rule.
Behaviour over inner workings: You will notice that above rules focus on the BEHAVIOUR of a system (old term would be requirements). I am often asked by fellow architects why we do not standardize around the building blocks of the application. They — like myself have been trained to fight redundancy in IT systems.
I strongly believe that redundancy is not bad in general. Accepting redundancy can increase delivery speed. It becomes evil if it contradicts our requirements. Remember, our requirements are: short time-to-marked, highly integrated user experience.
Will a customer notice if we are using mongoDB in one service and dynamoDB in another? I doubt it.
Will we have better time-to-market if we use mongoDB compared to DynamoDB? I believe it depends on a number of factors… factors I believe the developers of a product can judge best.
But what about cost? I believe in the power of the market. If we have the feeling that a variety of databases is too expensive or time-consuming (because each team has to figure out how to solve a particular problem), I am convinced it is best to make an offer to the teams that they are not able to resist. This can come in forms of a trodden path (e.g. we already figured out how to do backups in DynamoDB, this is how we do it and here is the documentation necessary to prove that we comply with data protection laws, we already have set up a contract to order xyz) or by having one team creating a product to solve a specific problem.
If a company fails to make such an offer, but tries to standardize via strict rules and policies, it will remove the motivation for the team offering a service to remain competitive — and eventually will result in higher costs and frustration.
Identifying potential candidates for a trodden path or a product is a challenge on its own and a topic for another post.
So as a summary, in our setup, the "enterprise architecture" must focus on rules and policies around the behaviour of a service, but not for the building-blocks used to create it.

What are Chianina cattle used for?
March 1, 2021 by yamuna
Breeding Origins
The Chianina is considered to be one of the oldest cattle breeds on the earth. The Georgic poets, Columella and Vergil, admired them, and they served as models for Roman sculptures. The breed's name is derived from the Chiana Valley in Tuscany, Central Italy, where it originated. The breed's largest members come from the Arezzo and Siena plains. These also provided the basis for the bulk of the stock used in the United States and Canada. Chianinas were mainly used as draft animals in their homeland to help with farming. Chianina's main purpose today, thanks to modern mechanized farming methods, is to grow beef.
Chianina cattle are one of the world's most common breeds. They have short hair that ranges in color from white to steel gray. Bulls' front ends are usually a darker grey. Chianina males and females have black skin with black tongues, palates, noses, eye regions, and switches. They have excellent resistance to pinkeye and eye cancer because of their pigmentation. While several are now polled through breeding programs, the breed is naturally horned. Their small horns bend forward and are black at first, but as the animals get older, they become lighter.
The breed's most distinctive trait is its well-defined muscling. Their shoulders, back, and rear quarters are all well-formed and proportioned. They have longer legs than other breeds, and their faces are long and straight.
Mature bulls weigh between 2500 and 2800 pounds, while the average Chianina cow weighs between 1600 and 1800 pounds.
Characteristics to Be Described
The Chianina breed is known for its strength and large frame. They have a high heat tolerance and can survive in tropical climates. Since they are widely used in crossbred operations, one of their strengths is hybrid vigor. Chianina bulls have a reputation for achieving exceptional growth in the offspring of these crossbred females. Since they were initially used as draft animals, one of their physical attributes is hardiness. The breed's cows have small udders and aren't known for producing a lot of milk. Chianinas are late-maturing cattle that can be used to supply yearling and older beef.
America's growth
During World War II, American soldiers stationed in Italy discovered Chianina. Chianina genetics were first introduced to the United States in 1971, when the first semen was imported from Italy. A black half-blood Chianina x Angus/Holstein bull calf born January 31, 1972, at the Tannehill Ranch in King City, California, was the first Chianina born in the United States.
Chianina genetics were historically only available by sperm. Unfortunately, new US Department of Agriculture legislation made it illegal to import cattle from countries afflicted by the Foot and Mouth Disease. One of those countries was Italy. A
Semen was gathered, sorted, and delivered to breeders in the United States at a private quarantine station in Italy.
Another source of fullblood Chianina sperm was Canadian breeders. Although Italian Chianina cattle were not permitted to reach the United States from Canada, American breeders were able to import their sperm. Italian fullblood Chianina were exported from Canada to the United States in 1973.
In June 1972, the American Chianina Association was founded in Kansas City, Missouri. Breeders needed a central location where they could register and move their seed stock while maintaining a live herd book. The association currently has approximately 1000 members and 300,000 registered cattle.

A hand drill is an important tool for working on installations and robots and drills with AC cords as well as cordless drills are now readily available for surprisingly little money.They can be used both for manufacturing your project though can also be used as drive motors in a project.
Drill bits come in a variety of sizes and quality. Generally when purchasing drill bits for your manufacturing stage be sure you are getting the right bits for the job. For drilling steel make sure to purchase carborundum or hardened carbon drill bits. For drilling concrete or stone be sure to use masonry bits or tungsten carbide bits. For wood a good set of wood drill bits will suffice though a lip and spur drill will allow you to drill in such a way to remove the bits of wood more efficiently. Lip and spur drills can also function well in soft plastic.


An interactive map has been created showing where German bombs landed on London during eight months of the Second World War Blitz.
The year-long mapping project, devised by geographer Dr Kate Jones of the University of Portsmouth, uses red bomb symbols to illustrate where each bomb landed.
The map shows how the entire greater city, from Egham in the west to Dartford in the east, Potters Bar in the north and Caterham in the south, was affected.
Dr Jones said: ''When you look at these maps and see the proliferation of bombs dropped on the capital, it does illustrate the meaning of the word 'blitz', which comes from the German meaning lightning war.
''It seems astonishing that London survived the onslaught.
Dr Jones chose to focus on the period of the Blitz which saw the most intensive bombing period by the Luftwaffe which killed thousands and destroyed more than a million homes.
The Bomb Sight project uses a slightly longer timeframe for mapping what bombs fell where because it uses maps of the London Second World War bomb census, taken between October 1940 and June 1941 which until now has only been available to view in the reading room at the National Archives.
The locations of the bombs have been combined with geo-located photographs from the Imperial War Museum and geo-located memories from the BBC's WW2 People's War Archive.
Users can manipulate the map and zoom into specific streets or boroughs as well as find out what type of bomb was dropped where.
Funded by higher education charity Jisc, Dr Jones has created a website and mobile app to make the interactive map available to the general public, especially students, teachers and citizen researchers.
Paola Marchionni, Jisc programme manager, said: ''Bomb Sight is a fantastic resource and it shows the power of what is possible by mashing up content from that which resides in different places.
''The original Blitz maps have been scanned and geo-referenced thanks to the National Archive and testimonials from the BBC have been incorporated together with historical images from the Imperial War Museum to create an interactive teaching and learning resource that is similar to a map sat nav.
The website allows people to find out where and what sort of bombs fell in their area, and explore photos and stories from those involved or affected by the war.
The associated Android app also gives users an augmented reality view which allows users to point their phone at a street scene and, using the phone's camera and GPS, it will display the bombs that fell nearby.

Macmillan Learning Makes the Grade with CloudBees Feature Management
Shining a spotlight on CloudBees customers who Build Stuff that Matters.
Macmillan Learning is dedicated to combining world-class content and evolving technology to drive student success.
Industry: Education Technology
Geography: Global
Summary: To keep its digital learning products ahead of the competition, Macmillan Learning is modernizing its software development and delivery processes, using CloudBees Feature Management to help speed product innovation, reduce risk and improve developer productivity.
Challenge: Fine-tune and control feature releases while improving developer productivity and bringing innovation to market faster with less risk
Solution: Adopted CloudBees Feature Management to separate software deployments from releases, enabling more innovation and greater flexibility to software developers and product teams while reducing risk
More efficient progressive delivery software features and faster time to market
Improved ability of dev teams to innovate
Enhanced work experience for developers and product teams
Reduced risk of releasing features with rollback capability
Product: CloudBees Feature Management
Macmillan Learning – part of the Holtzbrinck Publisher Group – has been publishing groundbreaking educational content for over 70 years. The company's digital tools help teachers deliver live or recorded lectures, engage students interactively, assign and assess homework and more.
Among its most popular tools is iClicker, part of the company's digital learning suite of products designed to engage students before, during and after class. A global team of over 50 software developers help Macmillan keep its digital products on the leading edge of the educational market. Most recently, Macmillan added new features that support remote classroom engagement regardless of the device a student is using. These innovations came just in time to support the global shift to remote learning in the midst of COVID-19.
Macmillan's educational products consist of highly sophisticated software applications and components that can make product deployments complex and risky. Macmillan's deployments to production were intertwined with its external releases to users and customers. There was no easy way to turn a new application feature off if a problem arose after it was released.
"CloudBees Feature Management has really allowed our team to be more flexible and more responsive to user needs in a way that was unfathomable before. It is something that has had astronomical, positive impact for our organization as a whole and that's passed on to our users."
Brydin Eckert
"Doing deployments in a one-shot event can cause a lot of problems," says Huu Le, engineering manager with Macmillan Learning. "If you don't coordinate ahead of time, there are a lot of things that can go wrong." To avoid missteps and minimize risk, a distributed team of developers and engineers might spend all night helping coordinate deployments. Meanwhile, developers end up spending an excessive amount of time on deployment tasks, and less time on their main job of writing code, and productivity suffers.
Since developers are reluctant to release new features that might go awry, product innovation and time to market suffer. With more than 130 software releases every year, Macmillan's dev organization sought a better way to release more features in small increments even to subsets of customers, test them out and have the ability to roll back the code base if something went wrong.
Like more and more development organizations today, Macmillan has adopted feature flags to deploy new code into production and then fully deploy features once it's clear the code is working as expected. By surrounding the new code with powerful "if statements," organizations like Macmillan can release fresh features in a flexible and orderly fashion, reducing the risk of a flawed launch, increasing the productivity and innovation of developers and enhancing their day-to-day work life. Feature flags give the Macmillan team the opportunity to experiment, test and validate new features before pushing those features out to the entire user population.
Although the group initially built a homegrown method to separate production deployments from the releases, the dev team chose to use move to CloudBees Feature Management, a feature flag solution designed to mitigate release risk and improve developer productivity while giving product management teams better control over feature releases.
CloudBees was convenient and versatile, Macmillan team members say. "With a lot of other platforms, you have to plan very far ahead to create flags," says Brydin Eckert, product manager with Macmillan. "With CloudBees, we have a lot more flexibility and implementing it was seamless."
"Now with feature flags, your developers don't have to worry. Gone are the days of lengthy overnight deployments with all-hands on deck."
Huu Le
Continuous Delivery and Optimization
Since embracing feature flags, Macmillan's development and product team has optimized how it delivers and releases its student applications. "The first draft of any product is never perfect," says Le. "We know they are not exactly what we want, but now we can slowly make it better, and feature flagging allows us to do that."
This approach keeps the team agile by allowing one group to focus on one implementation while another group is planning ahead and getting feedback from the initial proof of concept. "We can just keep slowly building things out and staging things so that we can keep adding value to the product over time, instead of just an all-at-once shock – which in my experience never really works," Le says.
Faster Time to Value
With feature flags, Macmillan's software teams can create a new feature, put it into the product, and then let a product manager as well as the UX team interact with it and give feedback without exposing it to end users. "With feature flags, we're able to add value faster because we're not waiting around to coordinate the backend with the front end," says Eckert. "We can iterate at a much faster rate and put it into our users' hands more quickly."
When the pandemic hit, using feature flags allowed Macmillan to quickly shift its products from in-classroom to remote learning. "Our ability to use feature flags really has allowed us to launch these new products out in phases and quickly gather feedback," Eckert says. The company is now starting on phase two of its remote products and teams say that feature flags have given them the ability to roll out incremental features over time, rather than the entire offering all at once.
Productivity Lift
Macmillan's dev teams say they have saved countless hours by leveraging feature flags to cut down on the time developers spend on supporting releases. Since feature flags allow independent development and deployment, developers no longer have to be on call to deploy features. Now releases can happen at any time that works best for Macmillan and for the users themselves.
"Now with feature flags, your developers don't have to worry," Le says. "Once your code is tested behind that feature flag, and you've gotten approval from the QA team, you are good to go and you can move on to your next project," he says. "Gone are the days of lengthy overnight deployments with all-hands on deck."
Not surprisingly, feature flags are giving Macmillan's developers a new level of job satisfaction. "The ability to breathe that sigh of relief is well worth it," says Eckert. And while it takes some effort upfront to set up flags, developers say the effort pays off. "We did over a hundred releases this year, and if we didn't have feature flags, a good number of those would have required significant overnight hours," Eckert says. "This is a tremendous benefit to my work and personal life."
Innovation and Experimentation
CloudBees Feature Management has enabled developers to innovate and experiment with new features and functions. "This is a crucial piece of the value of feature flags," Le says. "Feature flags reduce risk and give us incredible deployment flexibility and that allows us to be a lot more nimble than before."
Developers have called feature flags an "endless sandbox" because they allow developers to try out innovative new features that product teams can review and assess in a risk-free environment. Over time, Le believes that innovation will bring significant value to the business and to customers.
"Feature flags reduce risk and give us incredible deployment flexibility and that allows us to be a lot more nimble than before."
Having worked with CloudBees Feature Management for a while, Macmillan's dev team have picked up some tips for getting the most out of this solution. One best practice is to establish clear naming conventions so teams don't have a hodgepodge of flags that can be confused when it's time to turn features on or off. "Just make sure that product and engineering are very clear about what's behind a particular flag," says Eckert.
Better developer productivity.
Feature flags free up more time for development and improves developer satisfaction. Since feature flags allow independent development and deployment, developers no longer have to be on call to deploy features once they're finished. "With over a hundred releases this year, if we didn't have feature flags, a good number of those would have required significant overnight hours," says Eckert.
More efficient software development.
"We have multiple versions of our feature functionality and initiatives that we are able to break up into milestones and deliver incrementally over time," says Le. This allows "us to slowly bring value, usefulness and adoption to a certain feature over time instead of all-at-once."
Driving innovation.
Macmillan's dev team says that using CloudBees Feature Management has allowed developers to innovate and experiment more with new features and capabilities. "Feature flags allow us to be more innovative and experiment more by creating smaller changes to the application," says Le. "From a development side, it's an endless sandbox … and it triggers all sorts of innovative conversations about how we can tweak features to make them more valuable."
Faster time to value.
Feature flags have allowed Macmillan to iterate its products faster and be more responsive to the feedback it gets from users. "It's really allowed our team to be more flexible and more responsive to users in a way that was unfathomable before," says Eckert. "It is something that has had astronomical, positive impact for our organization as a whole and that's passed on to our users."
Greater developer satisfaction.
"The fact that we can deploy things and I can flip feature flags on my own time is a tremendous benefit to me and my own work life and personal life," says Eckert.
More efficient deployments.
"I've really leaned heavily on feature flags in order to help time the delivery and release of our student apps," says Eckert. "The key difference is we don't have to plan six months ahead of time. We don't have to be sure this is the exact feature that we want. We can slowly make it into the feature that our users want."
Risk reduction.
Using feature flags, "our developers and the engineers can control and wrap our code in a very safe way that doesn't impact the functionality of our current production code, and then release it without any impact to the end user," says Le.
A/B testing.
Looking ahead, the Macmillan organization is hoping to use feature flags to try A/B testing experiments to compare how users respond to different types of features. "This is something that I'm looking forward to experimenting with in the near future," says Eckert. "To be able to experiment with user segmentation and turn features on for the whole population or a subgroup of testers, is another way we are starting to use feature flags."
Fast pivot during pandemic.
When the Covid crisis hit, Macmillan had to pivot quickly to offer new remote and asynchronous learning options. "Fast flexibility using flags allowed Macmillan to quickly deploy and release new features, gather feedback and iterate the product without interrupting what was already in production," says Eckert.
Seamless implementations.
CloudBees Feature Management was easy to adopt. "It took me a couple of days to implement it across the team," says Le. "It took anywhere from a few hours to one week to implement. Wrapping a feature and getting it out the door is becoming second nature to the team."

Marilyn Martin has had a number one hit with Phil Collins in 1985 called "Separate Lives." She had an orginal song written for her by Madonna and she sang for the diva on her multiplatinum "Like a Prayer" record. Now, she is back with a Christian album "Trust, Love, Pray" (which was recently reviewed here at Breathecast.com). Recently we sat down with her to talk with her about her journey in the secular music world, her faith, her new CD and her future plans.
BREATHEcast: You scored a number one record with Phil Collins in 1985 called "Separate Lives," how did you did a number one record change your life?
It was quite an eye opener having my first song become such a success. What an incredible blessing, but in some ways I wasn't really ready. I had spent my career up to that point in the comfort zone of singing other peoples songs in cover bands and singing background vocals for Joe Walsh and Stevie Nicks...not being the focal point, so the biggest change was adjusting to the attention I was getting.
BREATHEcast: You also got a chance to record an original song by Madonna and Patrick Leonard called "Possessive Love" and you did sing backing vocals for Madonna on her "Like a Prayer" album. How did you get to work with Madonna? What was it like working with her? Are you still in contact with her?
I met Pat Leonard when I began the search for a producer for my second album. He's the one who approached Madonna with the idea of writing a song for me and she graciously agreed. Pat called me one day while he was working on her "Like A Prayer" album and asked if I would like to come and sing backgrounds...talk about an "Are you kidding?" moment!! She was impressive, to say the least, very in charge. That was the only time I met her.
BREATHEcast: You had two fabulous pop records in the 80s, your self titled debut and "This is Serious," then you resurfaced as a country artist in the 90s. Why was there a change in musical direction?
After my second album my contract with my manager was up for renewal but I was feeling restless about a lot of things, mainly my musical direction. I hired a new manager who thought I should leave Atlantic Records and go to a different label so I turned down the option Atlantic offered to do a 3rd project. Big oops/ Gods will, either way you look at it I wasn't able to get signed to another major label. I was eventually signed to a minor label when midway through recording the head of Atlantic Records called with a crazy idea. He asked if I would be interested in making a country record. It was so out of the blue that again I figured...Gods will. Besides, I grew up in Kentucky loving country music. And here's a little known nugget...when I was recording "Separate Lives" the producer was a little concerned that I sounded too country!
BREATHEcast: I believe the expectation was high for you to release your country album which was preceded by the single "Through His Eyes," but the album was never released. What happened there? What were your thoughts on that country record?
Atlantic Nashville's protocol was to have a market research group listen to new recordings and give their opinions on whether it would be a success or not and, sadly, mine came back luke warm. In order to determine whether to move ahead or heed the market research findings everyone at the label gathered around a conference table to discuss and deliberate. Rick Blackburn, the president, stood at a large tablet, pen in hand and said, "Let's talk about the pros and cons". Starting with the cons the top two strikes against me were #1) I had had a pop hit and #2) I'm a woman...not kidding. The 2 pros were #1) In their opinion I had a good voice and #2) They thought I was nice. Unfortunately, the decision was made to not release my album, which was sad because I really liked it.
BREATHEcast: Recently you have released a Christian CD "Trust, Love, Pray" (see the reviews section at Breathecast.com for our review). This was your first since your country record, why was there such a long wait? And why a Christian record?
After the traumatic end to my affiliation with Atlantic Nashville I desperately needed to stop. It was the first time I felt confused about what I was supposed to be doing. The worst part was that I felt like I had meandered outside of Gods will. For several years I just didn't have the heart to try to write or sing. Then a few years ago my husband decided to teach me how to navigate Garageband on my Mac. It's a program that enables people to create tracks and record vocals. I'm pretty technically challenged but this was like manna from heaven. I started creating tracks and when it came time to think about lyrics all that came to me were expressions of praise and thanksgiving. I was free to express what mattered most to me since I didn't have a label to dictate anything, and I really didn't have a plan to release a record. I was finally just writing and singing for the love of it.
BREATHEcast: Tell us about your faith journey. When did you become a Christian?
I can't remember a time when I didn't know that the Lord is my Savior. When I was very little my Grandmothers were my biggest faith teachers. One of my sweetest memories is sitting in the front porch swing with my Grandmother and listening to her sing hymns, my favorite was "Farther Along". When she sang that one, even though I was very young and didn't fully understand why, my heart would ache. Through my childhood I attended a Baptist church but after graduating high school I went on the road singing with various bands which caused me to lose that connection to Christian community, but I never lost my connection to God. Now my husband and I are members of a fantastic Episcopal church in Nashville.
BREATHEcast: Tell us more about "Trust, Love, Pray." Why did you decide to write all the songs yourself rather than cover songs from other writers? Is there a song from the album that means the most to you?
I was having so much fun writing that I just couldn't stop, hours would fly by, and since I really had no intention of releasing an album it never occurred to me to sing someone else's song. These songs were my walk, my testimony, but guided by God. Lyrics and musical parts would come to me so "out of the blue" that sometimes I felt I had no hand in it. So many times I would stop and thank God for the privilege of being His instrument. The perfect example of that is Amen. That song flowed from my heart and seemed to write itself.
BREATHEcast: As a Christian and having been in the spotlight of secular music, what are your views about the music industry? Can a person be a Christian and still hold onto his or her beliefs in today's secular music world?
The music industry is very different today from when I got my deal. Record labels have been hard hit by piracy and downloads forcing them to tighten their belts a bit. They seem to be more discerning when it comes to signing and spending money on new artists, but the huge upside is that now is such an exciting time for tech and social media-savvy artists. The advent of programs like Kickstarter to help raise funds to record, ReverbNation to help with promotion, and CD Baby for distribution make it easy to be independent. From my own experience I know Christians can have a career in secular music.
BREATHEcast: What is next for Marilyn Martin? Will there be a follow-up Christian record?
Absolutely, I'm halfway finished with songs for my next Christian album. I can't imagine ever singing about anything else!
BREATHEcast: Can you tell our readers where they can go to purchase your new album "Trust, Love, Pray" and find out more about you?
Thank you so much for asking! My website, www.Marilyn-Martin.com, has info, pictures, videos, and all the music I've made from "Separate Lives" to "Trust, Love, Pray", which can be purchased at http://cdbaby.com/cd/marilynmartin or on Ebay.

Allegheny "Viola" Shotokan Karate Dojo School Est. 1969-2019 (50 years)
🥋ヴァイオラ松濤館空手道場
Allegheny Shotokan "Viola" Karate School (ASK) was established in 1969 by Shihan (Master) Bill Viola. Allegheny Shotokan has a rich tradition serving Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania for over 50 years. The karate school is a pillar of the community, noted as the oldest and most established school in the Irwin North Huntingdon area. The Viola Family are internationally renown coaches & instructors with experience you can trust! Shihan Viola Sr. (9th Dan) is the authority on Martial Arts in the area with over 60 years experience. He is credited by the Heinz History Center in conjunction with the Smithsonian Institution as the co-creator of Mixed Martial Arts "MMA" a decade before the Ultimate Fighting Championship UFC. In 2011 the Western PA Sports Museum established a permanent exhibit to honor him as one of the founding fathers of the sport. (It is located right next to Franco Harris's immaculate reception statute).
His life is the subject of the book, "Godfathers of MMA" which is the inspiration of the film Showtime Film "Tough Guys." He has had the unique opportunity to teach all of his five children martial arts and instruct all of them to black belt.

Allegheny Shotokan Karate, established in 1969, is a Martial Arts (Karate, Kickboxing, Mixed Martial Arts) School based in Western Pennsylvania. The club was founded by Sensei William Viola. The name "Allegheny" represented the school's first location in Allegheny County (East Allegheny High School). Traditional "Shotokan," is the base style of Japanese Karate-do taught. Over the past 50 years the school has held classes in the suburbs of Pittsburgh including Turtle Creek, North Versailles, Paintertown, White Oak, Irwin, North Irwin and currently residing in North Huntingdon, Pennsylvania.
Grand Master Robert Trias with Shihan Viola
The karate school was founded on the traditional principles of Japanese Karate Association (JKA) Shotokan Karate. Later the school became affiliated with the United States Karate Association (USKA) under direction of Robert Trias (Father of American Karate) and USA Karate Federation (USAKF) under the direction of George Anderson (Father of Olympic Karate).
In the late 1960s Viola began giving private lessons. His first student was Denny Costello, a football player from Cal U. By 1969 Viola began formal instructing at at East Allegheny High School. Hi first EA studenet was career with Keith Bertoluzzi, the Master of Ceremonies at the Holiday House, Monroeville, PA. Bertoluzzi used his musical influence to invite several celebrities to attend karate classes including the Beach Boys and other musical acts of the era. As Shihan Viola remembers, "Karate in the 60s and 70s was so popular, we [the Senseis] were the rock stars."
During the 1970s and 1980s the karate school was a dominant force at martial arts competitions, successful in both karate and kick boxing championships. The school is credited with sponsoring numerous championships including the Laurel State Karate Championships founded in the 1970s.
In 1979, Shihan Bill Viola wrote the first codified set of mixed martial arts rules implemented in over 130 bouts. MMAhistory.org recognized him as the "Father of MMA" based on his innovate rule set. Those standards parallel the unified rules of today. He is credited by the Heinz History center as the co-creator of the sport of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) a decade before the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). MMA is now a multi-billion dollar entity. CV (Caliguri and Viola) Productions introduced open regulated mixed martial arts competitions to the United States March 20, 1980 in Pittsburgh, PA.In 1980, members of the dojo entered in the first mixed martial arts style fights in the United States know as Tough Guy competitions. His life is the subject of the best-selling book Tough Guys (Authored by Bill Viola Jr.) and the Showtime documentary film Tough Guys.

In 1987 Shihan Viola established USA Karate Allegheny Mountain Region. The RSO was a qualifier for the USA Karate Federation (USAKF) National Championships for over a decade. The USAKF was the national governing body for Karate in the United States (1985-1995), and member of the US Olympic Committee. George Anderson (USAKF President) was the father of "Olympic Karate" Without his contributions and his team during the 1980s and 1990s karate would have not reached the Pan American Games. In 1992 Viola hosted the USA Karate Junior Olympics at the University of Pittsburgh Field House with Master George Anderson.

USA Karate Team Members Jack Bodell, Rich Sowash, Doug Selchan and Dustin Baldis began their training at the school. Bodell was the first black belt promoted by Shihan Viola and would go on to be a member of the United States Secret Service protecting President Jimmy Carter. He also served as a referee for CV Productions during the Tough Guy Contest craze (The first mixed martial arts competitions in America). Bodell would open additional schools in the late 1980s including West Newton, PA (School of Orthodox Shotokan Karate). Their he oversaw Selchan and Baldis before relocating south to Memphis, Tenn. Selchan took over as head instructor for the dojo. Doug went on the win a Gold Medal the 1999 Pan-American Games in the +80kg Kumite for the United States. While in Tennessee, Bodell trained USA Karate Team Member Clay Morton. Shihan Viola was inducted into the USA Karate Hall of Fame and honored as the 2003 Man of the year (Lifetime Achievement).

Sensei Bill Viola Jr. was recognized as the only black belt "Triple-gold Medalist" at USA Karate's Jr. Olympics earning top honors in Kumite, Kata, and Kobudo. As a Junior his was a multiple-time national champion and All-American Athlete. Master George Anderson personally asked Viola Jr. to be a member of USA Karate Team. He entered the Adult division in 1995 and earned at least one Gold Medal 1995-1998 each year making him a 4x USAKF National Champion before retiring in 1999 due to a neck injury. In 1997 he was the only Adult Male to win "Triple Gold" at USA Karate Federation Nationals (Kata, Kumite, -65kg Kumite). Sensei Bill split his time competing in both Olympic-style USA Karate and Open Style NASKA/NBL events throughout his career.
Allegheny Shotokan Karate is the only karate school in Pennsylvania Karate Rating Association (PKRA) history to win all seven grand championships at the Pittsburgh Karate Championships in 1996 promoted by Master Frank Caliguri. Viola's son, Bill Viola won 8-consecutive black belt overall state titles (1992-1999) and was inducted into the PKRA Hall of Fame. In 1998 the school was honored by Arnold Schwarzenegger as the #1 Martial Arts team in the United States of America and World Champions!

Doctoral Disseratarion
At the University of Graz, on 15th, May 1924, Andrić handed in his dissertation in German: "The Development of Spiritual Life in Bosnia under the Influence of Turkish Rule" (Die Entwicklung des Geistigen Lebens in Bosnien uter der Einwirkung der Tükischen Herrschaft). On the 12th June 1924, he passed the obligatory examination and the next day he was awarded the title Doctor of Philosophy. It is often asserted that his degree makes Andrić a historian, but officialy this degree was a qualification in Slavonic Languages and Literature. The dissertation was translated in Serbein and published for the first time in the literary magazin "Sveske Zadužbine Ive Andrića", ("Sveske of The Ivo Andrić Foundation"), No.1, for 1982.
We may consider the dissertation in order to understand the achievement of describing and discovering human existence through the history of Bosnia as it is transformed through the literary work of Ivo Andrić. There are number of themes that are common to both the dissertation and Andrić's artistic prose: the epic canvas, the feeling that events are flowing rather than progressing, the ability to compress history into narrow, local surroundings and give it general human value, the deep-seated hatred and conflicts among the Muslims, Turks, Serbs, Croats, Jews on the regional level, and war-tormented Europe on the wider stage. We may say that in Andrić's dissertation reader can find the source of all the writer's most profound preoccupations.

Effective February 11th, 2018, all employers, whose employees' primary worksite is located in Maryland, will be required to offer their employees paid sick leave. Below is some important information on the upcoming act and how to set up a compliant paid sick leave policy inside OnPay.
Employers with 15 or more employees that do not currently offer at least one hour of paid sick and safe leave for every 30 hours that an employees works.
In order for employees to be eligible to utilize the accrual, they must regularly work more than 12 hours a week.
When determining if an employer has 15 or more employees, the department will only consider employees who are employed in the state of Maryland. All employees who are employed in the state of Maryland will be counted toward the number of employees, regardless of hours worked.
Employers that have an existing PTO policy that provides leave in an amount equal to or greater than the amount that is provided under the law do not have to provide additional leave.
Both paid and unpaid leave will accrue at the rate of 1 hour of leave for every 30 hours worked with a maximum of 40 hours. Employees can carry over 40 hours of unused time to the next year.
Employees employed for at least 106 days may use leave as it is accrued. Employees employed less than 106 days, and new employees hired after February 11th must wait 106 days from their date of hire to begin using leave. The accrual must commence on February 11th, or when the bill becomes effective.
Employers can front load the accrual of 40 hours at the beginning of the policy year, if employers choose to do this, they can allow the unused hours to expire at the end of the policy year. If an employer front loads the accrual, the leave would then be available for immediate use by employees.
Employers are permitted to determine their own year for purposes of leave calculation.
Under the state's act, counties are now pre-empted from enacting their own sick- and safe-leave laws. The ban on local sick-leave laws applies retroactively to any enacted on or after Jan. 1, 2017, which includes Prince George's County's law. Montgomery County's law, however, was effective on Oct. 1, 2016, and will not be pre-empted. Thus, Montgomery County employers must adhere to both county and state requirements.
Calculation Information: The three levels shown above are identical because the employee accrual does not increase based on their length of service. The per hour accrual rate of .0334 is determined by dividing 1 hour worked by 30 hours. The bottom number of tiers 1, 2, and 3 is the balance cap and it will keep the employee from having a balance higher than 40 hours at any given time. Please keep in mind the balance cap will not stop the employee from accruing or using more than 40 hours in a given year. The amount used and accrued by the employee should be monitored by the employer.


Making clear ice is very important. Not only does it look wicked skills, it also chills your drink with less dilution when produced in spheres rather than cubes (on account of maths).
It's also a real pain - see this blog post about how to make clear ice balls - so thank the dear sweet lord that Wintersmiths have made the whole ordeal a simple task with these wonderfuli ice ball makers.


Now that the royal wedding is over and all the details about the dress and nuptials have been revealed, we're quietly anticipating the next big event: Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's honeymoon. The Duke and Dutchess of Sussex announced they would delay the vacation to attend Prince Charles' 70th birthday celebration and have not confirmed the location. Sources close to the couple believe they'll spend their first trip together in Africa, where they had their third date.
Harry and Meghan's choice is somewhat unusual. While Autumn Kelly and Peter Phillips, the grandson of Queen Elizabeth II, went on safari in South Africa, the majority of royal newlyweds have chosen tropical destinations. Prince Charles and Princess Diana chartered a yacht around the Greek Islands, Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall jetted to Cyprus, and Prince William and Kate Middleton opted for a private island in Seychelles.
Dreaming of a bucket list escape? These six luxury honeymoons are royal-approved.
North Island resort in Seychelles is the exclusive spot Prince William and Kate Middleton, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, chose for their honeymoon. An archipelago off East Africa, Seychelles is known for its tranquility and pristine beaches, which North Island has in spades. The resort has four spectacular private beaches where guests can join naturalists in examining turtle eggs to preserve the species, The Telegraph reports. A night at one of the entry-level villas costs about $3000.
Peter Phillips, the eldest grandchild of Queen Elizabeth, went on honeymoon with wife Autumn to South Africa. The couple chose to stay in Tuningi Safari Lodge, a five-star resort in the Madikwe Game Reserve.
Their itinerary was enviable: The newlyweds took privately guided safari tours around the 165,000-acre reserve and dined under the stars. The reserve is located on the border with Botswana, which Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are rumored to be considering for their honeymoon.
Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana sailed the Greek Islands aboard the Royal Yacht Britannia. While the extravagant yacht is for royals only, you could replicate their island-hopping itinerary. The couple went to Crete, a large Greek island in the south, and Ithaca, off the northeast coast of Kefalonia.
Our top pick? Be sure to include a few nights in Santorini. Mystique Hotel has the perfect cliffside position in Oia, boasting idyllic swimming pools and pared-back suites.
Cyprus, an island country in the Eastern Mediterranean, was the honeymoon destination of choice for royal Zara Phillips and husband Mike Tindall. Despite having to postpone their vacation to three months after the wedding, the pair enjoyed downtime at Columbia Beach Resort, a luxurious resort with one of the best vantage points on the island.
Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew opted for the Azores, an archipelago in the mid-Atlantic off the coast of Portugal. Like Charles and Diana, the newlyweds chartered the Royal Yacht Britannia to explore the islands. If you're looking for an in-land retreat, consider Furnas Boutique Hotel. It's located on São Miguel Island, which has the largest concentration of thermal waters in Europe.
Prince Harry whisked Meghan Markle to Botswana for their third date, which is why insiders believe they'll choose the country for their honeymoon. While the details are still unknown, we'd recommend Baines' Camp by Sanctuary Retreats. The remote retreat in Botswana has just five luxury suites, each with "star baths" and "sky beds" to immerse guests in the surrounds. Heaven.

SEOUL, Nov. 14 (Yonhap) -- Former major league prospect Lee Hak-ju has admitted to being charged with drunk driving in 2017, his South Korean club said Wednesday.
"We've got a confirmation from the player that he was charged with DUI in the past," the KBO club said. "He was then stripped of his driver's license and slapped with a fine. He reacquired his driver's license after taking an educational program."
"I deeply regret what I've done in the past," he said through the Lions. "I was guilty of misconduct while I was concerned about my career after leaving a Japanese independent baseball league team."
Lee, 28, signed with the Chicago Cubs after graduating from a Seoul high school in 2009. But the shortstop was plagued by a series of injuries and never got past Triple-A. In 2016, he signed a minor league deal with the San Francisco Giants with an invitation to spring training but wasn't called up to the big stage. Lee briefly played for the Tokushima Indigo Socks in the Shikoku Island League Plus in Japan last year.

Israel, March 20th The Ancient Roman Amphitheatre at Caesarea.
A special event to welcome the Muse on Israel ground will be created. The Israeli radio and television is contacted to register and film this ceremony on this magnificent historical location. The actress Tahan Moran will act live a monologue in Hebrew and English. This monologue text comes from a film scenario written by Peereboom around the Myth of the Muse. The Israeli vocalist Yasim Kedar and musician Eran Har-Evan will perform the 11th Muse Song "Liberty".
During the stay in Israel, Peereboom and a film crew will also visit the Negev desert, these to study and to shoot this wonderful landscape, because this location carries a great similarity to the landscape described in the Myth.
The shots taken in the Negev desert together with the actress and the Muse Song will be edited into a pilot. This pilot movie will particularly serve to find the right cinematographically languish to realize in the near future the movie The Proniversum.
The Festival event in Tel Aviv consists in an extra large projection screen which is located on the Town Hall square. In front of the screen playing the Muse film, the actress Moran Tahan will act life several monologues coming from the Myth and the Muse Song will be performed by the musicians Kedar and Har-Even.
Digitalisis: Who are these that fly as a cloud and as the doves to their cotes?
"These" are all data of the unborn, born, young and old souls of all life on your planet; they fly as a wave of 1000 doves.
They come and go from all universes to me, in my Proniversum.
These souls once belonged to the children of farmers, warriors, mothers, fishermen, lions, goats and bacterial life.
I try to make souls understand that their data start to function differently here, and if they arrive and like to have dreamless sleep, to love, to change, to finish unfinished thoughts or life, they can do it!


Balluff is happy to introduce the BIS V Multi-Frequency processor with USB and TCP/IP communication. This flexible RFID processor can accept Low Frequency (LF), High Frequency (HF) and Ultra High Frequency (UHF) readers and antennae.
The processor is ideal for PC and server-based applications where RFID data is collected over an IT infrastructure opposed to an industrial network. While the BIS V product line has been capable of communicating over all major control networks including Ethernet/IP and Profinet for some time, this PC-based processor completes the line of RFID processors designed for high speed applications.
The development and launch of this new reader is in response to feedback from our customers who prefer or are required to operate over a TCP/IP network. "Machine tool Identification is one specific application where the new BIS V will be utilized, but realistically we have a significant number of customers who prefer to communicate over TCP/IP for general traceability applications like work in process or pallet ID" said Wolfgang Kratzenberg, Marketing Manager for RFID and Vision at Balluff.
Ultimately, our customers are trending toward an increase line speed and are increasing the amount of data that is collected. This increase in throughput, due to higher speed and larger amounts of data, is immediately addressed by the BIS V. With the full line of BIS V processors, Balluff's RFID portfolio is used to address some of the most challenging traceability applications.


While every aspect of moving is stressful, packing is one of the most demanding responsibilities. Even with a good plan, many people feel overwhelmed when it comes to putting things in boxes or bins. The problem is that everything gets commingled, including keep, trash, donate, and recycle items. If you are planning to move and dread the thought of packing, hire full service movers.
Planning and Organization – Getting started with a good plan is often difficult. Fortunately, by hiring a reputable moving company, you will get help in devising a plan to ensure that your move is seamless. The same goes for the organization in that an expert would come to your home or business, assess the situation, and then help get things organized in preparation for the move.
Packing and Unpacking – Most people agree that the greatest benefit of hiring full service movers is that they handle all of the packing and unpacking. As highly-trained experts, a crew would come to your place, bringing quality boxes, packing material, tape, and other supplies required for the job. Then, with incredible precision, the movers will pack your items to ensure that nothing gets damaged or broken during transport. These professionals also use a labeling system that makes unpacking on the other end a breeze. Once your belongings arrive at their destination, the same crew unpacks everything on a room-by-room basis and then discards of the moving materials on your behalf.
Transport Services – Reputable full service movers use quality trucks and equipment that allow them to load and transport your items safely and efficiently. These professionals know the right way to position things inside of the moving truck, thereby utilizing every inch while keeping your possessions protected.
Although there is nothing wrong with planning, organizing, and packing and unpacking yourself, this takes up a significant amount of your valuable time while creating intense stress. To make sure that every aspect of your upcoming move gets done right, all you need to do is hire full service movers with experience and expertise.


The first Tahoe Weekly issue. Click to read it.
On Feb. 18, 1982, David Mogilefsky published the first edition of "North Tahoe Week" featuring a photograph by Vance Fox of a skier cliff jumping near the horse trails in Squaw Valley.
That first edition was 12 pages and was full of information about local resorts, babysitters, events and things to do in North Tahoe and Truckee area. Lift tickets were $20 at Squaw Valley, and advertisers included realtors, art galleries and restaurants. The cover featured a photograph inside a hand-drawn outline of Lake Tahoe, and the only editorial feature was the tongue-in-cheek Yesteryear column that featured fictional news from the past.
Tahoe Weekly has gone through several names changes through the decades, and in 1997 was purchased by Dale and Shirley Good. The Good family operated Tahoe Weekly for nearly 17 years, before longtime Editor & Associate Publisher Katherine E. Hill purchased the magazine in 2013.
Through the decades, Tahoe Weekly has gone through many name changes, and is known for its iconic covers of breathtaking scenery and of locals enjoying the lifestyle that living in the Tahoe-Truckee region affords. It has grown into a magazine that chronicles the remarkable people and places that define our community. Today, the magazine is filled with local voices from our columnists and staff, to the many freelance writers and photographers that are a part of each edition of Tahoe Weekly.
"Everyone who is a part of putting together every issue of Tahoe Weekly magazine shares a passion of our community, and it shows in the magazine that we produce," says Hill.
A few years ago, Tahoe Weekly adopted the new slogan "Capturing the Spirit of the Tahoe Sierra Since 1982." That spirit means reflecting the indefinable force that draws each of us to the Tahoe-Truckee area; a spirit that is different for each of us.
