EXCLUSIVE: Datacentrix in nasty fight with BEE partner
By Admire Moyo, ITWeb's news editor.
Johannesburg, 21 Oct 2019
Systems integrator Datacentrix is involved in a dispute with its black economic empowerment (BEE) partner, The IT Advantage (ITA).
ITA accuses Datacentrix of anti-competitive and corporate bullying practices after it was replaced by another company in a government tender; accusations Datacentrix "categorically denies".
In an e-mail sent to ITWeb, Tammy Moodley, director of ITA, says her company was approached by Datacentrix to partner on a R16.7 million government tender.
She notes the dispute arises from Datacentrix engaging with ITA for a partnership agreement whereby ITA supplies the IP for the solution (consulting and solution design).
"We have a signed partnership agreement with Datacentrix as an SMME partner. Although we attended the briefing session and intended to bid on the business, we could not do so due to the partnership agreement, which ultimately meant we lost out on the opportunity to bid directly."
Moodley says after the award of the tender, Datacentrix provided both written and verbal approval via two company directors to proceed with the maintenance service (over and above the teaming agreement).

Due to the critical situation on site, she adds, Datacentrix engaged with ITA and requested the BEE firm to immediately attend to the problems and start with maintenance services "as Datacentrix themselves did not have the skill to resolve the problems on site, which we then proceeded to invest in and do so.
"This service was over and above the partnership agreement. The monthly services were for the term of the contract – two years.
"After two months of services, they have since replaced my 100% black- and woman-owned company with a predominantly white-owned company that never tendered with them on the original bid and does not possess the necessary skill that is called upon for the tender."
Moodley believes this was done to increase Datacentrix's profitability.
She notes ITA has not breached any agreements or terms and "I believe my company has been treated unfairly in order for Datacentrix to maximise their margins and reverse-engineer a cheaper solution on site.
"They have not paid me for any of the services we provided nor their commitment on the partnership agreement."
According to Moodley, this has been taking place for almost eight months and her company is now facing huge financial risk.
"I will have to let go of staff and realign my business to cater for the financial loss, or possibly close my business due to the risk Datacentrix has exposed my business to. All the while, they exhibited anti-competitive behaviour. I have been reasonable in my requests for an amicable resolution and only requested that Datacentrix pay The IT Advantage for all their commitments.
"I believe they have transgressed so many of government's supply chain policies without being held accountable, therefore I have escalated this dispute to the National Treasury and now the media.
"I believe by bringing their transgressions to the attention of the public, so many small businesses like my own can and will mobilise against the corporate bullying culture that currently is so prominent in the IT industry within SA. Their behaviour thus far has been counter-productive and it is partly through actions like these from huge corporates that small businesses stifle and ultimately fail."
Moodley says the directors she is dealing with at Datacentrix are Ahmed Mohammed, Johann Coetzee and Herman Taljaard.
Ahmed Mahomed, Datacentrix CEO.
Strong denial
Responding to the allegations, Datacentrix says: "Datacentrix wishes to place on record that it categorically denies both the content and the inference of the communication submitted by ITA to ITWeb."
Datacentrix does, however, confirm it has been involved in a dispute with ITA for several months.
"Datacentrix takes seriously the transformation imperatives in South Africa and is BBBEE compliant. With reference to the correspondence from ITA, we can confirm that all the BBBEE requirements in respect of that work have been and continue to be met.
"Datacentrix prides itself on being an ethical, transparent organisation, and is also fully committed to its SMME programme, which has been in effect since 1998."
The systems integrator points out it has a specific SMME policy in place, which dictates how it engages and interacts with these entities.
"Amongst other very strong directives, it provides that each and every potential SMME partner of Datacentrix be scrutinised through an in-depth process focusing on legal, financial and commercial background. In this instance, unfortunately, ITA did not pass the vetting process."
Datacentrix says it reached out to ITA seeking an amicable settlement to the ongoing dispute, which involved a good faith monetary settlement offered to the ITA for the earnings it would've made over the duration of the contract.
"Datacentrix regards the claims put forward by ITA as unrealistic and inflated. ITA was invited on a number of occasions to provide supporting documentation for these claims to be verified and validated, but has not provided a proper and verifiable breakdown to date.
"As such, Datacentrix, per agreement with the ITA, approached a reputable local legal firm to investigate the dispute. The firm subsequently also confirmed the ITA's claims are opportunistic and cannot be verified."
Vetting process
However, Moodley came back to ITWeb saying Datacentrix has been signing teaming agreements with her company since 2015 right up to February 2019.
She adds that only after the award of this, the first successful tender, was ITA advised that Datacentrix's vetting process had changed some time in 2018 and ITA did not meet the criteria.
"However, we have clear correspondence indicating we met the vetting criteria early this year. We have e-mails that state The IT Advantage has been successfully vetted. Only after the solution was designed and implemented, did they make a contrary statement that they are unable to vet The IT Advantage.
She claims Datacentrix requested that ITA proceeds with the work after saying the company does not meet the vetting criteria.
"In respect to an amicable resolution, Datacentrix accepted my quote for the annual maintenance. The managing director committed to and provided approval via e-mail for the maintenance services of two years. During the two months, my team was on site daily and calls were logged for The IT Advantage to remedy problems on site on behalf of Datacentrix.
"Datacentrix did not indicate they required a month-to-month service. Should they had done so, we would have quoted accordingly, or they should have requested a quote upfront prior to engagement.
"They are refusing to pay me for the services provided for the two months unless I break down my costing model, line by line, for each expense. I have provided a summary of cost; however, they refuse to accept this.
"I have been clear with them that I will not do this as I believe that my costing model is my IP and I believe the quote I put down is fair and below market-related costs. They have already reverse-engineered the solution I had on site by contracting another service provider.
"All I have requested is that they pay my company for their obligations in respect to the partnership agreement and the services I provided, so this is very far from opportunistic."

Global Healthcare REIT has entered purchase and sale agreements to acquire four healthcare facilities in Texas, US, for $27m.
Located in Longview, El Paso, Corpus Christi and Grand Prairie, the four facilities include a total of 615 beds.
Global Healthcare REIT president Christopher Brogdon said: "Our expansion continues with our commitment to purchase these four additional healthcare properties.
"We are making steady progress against our stated goal to double our portfolio of properties in the next year."
"After completion of these purchases, the firm's interest in healthcare facilities will increase from 11 to 15 properties."
Subject to customary conditions, three transactions are expected to be completed in January, while the fourth one situated in El Paso will close upon approval of the firm's assumption of an existing Housing and Urban Development (HUD) mortgage for the facility.
After completion of these purchases, the firm's interest in healthcare facilities will increase from 11 to 15 properties.
Global Healthcare recently completed a reverse acquisition with Global Casinos to acquire real estate properties primarily engaged in the healthcare industry, including skilled nursing homes, medical offices, hospitals and emergency care facilities.
The company noted it will not operate healthcare facilities and will lease its properties under long-term operating leases, as a real estate investment trust (REIT).

Huawei Technologies Co. headquarters in Shenzhen, China.
HONG KONG — The Huawei chief financial officer arrested in Canada at the behest of American authorities isn't an ordinary senior executive.
Meng's high profile raises the stakes not only for her company, but also for the U.S. and China, which are embarking on a fresh effort to resolve tensions around trade and technology. China's embassy to Canada has already complained bitterly about the arrest and other Chinese tech companies have been punished this year for sanctions violations and allegedly stealing chip-design secrets.
The detention of Meng, who uses the name Meng Wanzhou and was also previously known as Cathy, also deals a personal blow to her father, Ren Zhengfei, a 74-year-old former military engineer who founded Huawei more than three decades ago. He built Huawei into one of China's largest and most global private business empires. Washington has lately been stepping up efforts to curb Huawei's global dominance in telecom-networking equipment due to concerns that its systems could be used for spying by Beijing. Huawei has long rejected the American claims, saying its systems are as secure as those of its Western rivals.

Q: Spark DataFrame repartition : number of partition not preserved According to the docs of Spark 1.6.3, repartition(partitionExprs: Column*) should preserve the number of partitions in the resulting dataframe:

Returns a new DataFrame partitioned by the given partitioning
  expressions preserving the existing number of partitions

(taken from https://spark.apache.org/docs/1.6.3/api/scala/index.html#org.apache.spark.sql.DataFrame)
But the following example seems to show something else (note that spark-master is local[4] in my case):
val sc = new SparkContext(new SparkConf().setAppName("Demo").setMaster("local[4]"))
val sqlContext = new HiveContext(sc)
import sqlContext.implicits._

val myDF = sc.parallelize(Seq(1,1,2,2,3,3)).toDF("x")
myDF.rdd.getNumPartitions // 4
myDF.repartition($"x").rdd.getNumPartitions //  200 !

How can that be explained? I'm using Spark 1.6.3 as a standalone application (i.e. running locally in IntelliJ IDEA)
Edit: This question does not adress the issue from Dropping empty DataFrame partitions in Apache Spark (i.e. how to repartiton along a column without producing empty partitions), but why the docs say something different from what I observe in my example

A: It is something related to Tungsten project which was enabled in Spark. It uses hardware optimization and calls hash partitioning which triggers shuffle operation. By default spark.sql.shuffle.partitions is set to be 200. You can verify by calling explain on your dataframe before repartitioning and after just calling:
myDF.explain

val repartitionedDF = myDF.repartition($"x")

repartitionedDF.explain

5 Reasons to visit Slovenia - Traveling is..
You might not know Slovenia but that will change now! Slovenia is one of the best countries to visit in southeast Europe, especially the countries nature is one of the reasons to go! Combined with old towns makes Slovenia one of the nicest countries to travel in.
Slovenia is well known for Lake Bled but there are many other lakes as well. One of the biggest in the northwest of the country is called Lake Bohinj. You can easily visit this lake from Lake Bled or even the capital city Ljubljana.
In the southwest of Slovenia you'll find multiple caves. The most famous one is by far Postojna. You can take a daytrip to this cave from Ljubljana. Another cave a little bit further towards the coast is Skocjan near the town of Divaca. The easiest way to get here is by train from Koper and then take a small bus to the entrance of the cave. The bus is free for those who are going to visit the cave and departures once every hour!
Slovenia has a lot of historical towns you must visit. From Ljubljana it's possible to do multiple daytrips to (for example) Kamnik, Skofja Loka and Idrija. At the coast, next to the border with Croatia there is another historical town called Piran which is one of the most beautiful towns of Slovenia.
The country has only a short coastline of 46 kilometers and is located between Italy and Croatia. There are 4 bigger towns; Koper, Izola, Portoroz and Piran. Portoroz is the place to be when it comes to sun, sea and the beach. Piran is one of the most stunning towns of Slovenia with lots of history.
Besides amazing nature Slovenia is also a cheap country to travel in. A day budget would be around €25-€30, depending on how much you spend. Accommodation on average is around €15, a meal at a restaurant not more than €10 but you can buy all your groceries for the day for under €10. Public transport is very cheap too, a daytrip from Ljubljana will cost you around €10-€15.

We really thought last Christmas was going to be our last trip to California for quite some time, but after the delay in mission papers for Richard's radiation early this year, the doctors took their time and we lucked into some $100 round trip tickets for the farewell! This trip was filled with simple family time and traditions, Apple Hill of course, a little Cameron Park Lake carnival which funnily enough turned out to have a whole lotta LDS missionaries participating as the volunteer staff, a temple trip with all the adults, Richard and Marilyn's wonderful talks and open house party, and a gold mine of family history documents discovered in Grandma Fox's attic. Watching my in-laws prepare to leave on a mission has been a really cool experience for me. After spending their whole lives raising children, just barely finishing a ton of remodeling on their home and reaching retirement, you would think they would be ready to relax and enjoy themselves but not so. It's pretty amazing to hear their testimonies of Christ and to see their commitment demonstrated by the fact that they are willing to leave their grandchildren and everything else behind to move to another country for 18 months to serve others. Not something a lot of people in their 60's choose to do. We will miss them but sincerely cannot wait to hear what they are up to across the pond and are crossing our fingers and saving our pennies in hopes of visiting!


Playwright, journalist, novelist, and head of the Egyptian Writers Union Mohamed Salmawy flew to the Emirates last night to give a talk at the Abu Dhabi International Book Fair about the new book Naguib Mahfouz: Man of Cinema.
Salmawy didn't contribute to the book, but his long acquaintance with Egypt's only Nobel literature laureate provides him with lots of material for any questions about Mahfouz.
Indeed, Salmawy immediately corrected one of my mis-perceptions about Mahfouz's career. I had thought of the period between when Mahfouz published his giant, sprawling The Cairo Trilogy and when he began on أولاد حارتنا (Children of Gabalawi) as one void of creative work. But this isn't true.
Indeed, after Mahfouz finished his giant work, which Salmawy said "was so complicated and so vast in its canvas, that Mahfouz had to keep a notebook beside him in order to remember the characters and the description of each character," he couldn't write for a number of years. But this was not a fallow period.


Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley was back in attendance for the first time in 16 months during the Magpies' drab 0-0 draw against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
The billionaire has become a much despised figure in the eyes of the fans due to his lack of ambition for the club over the years and his refusal to invest in this season's summer transfer window has only intensified the calls for him to sell up.
With Newcastle yet to win a match and the lack of quality on the pitch quite evident, it was hardly a surprise that Ashley was subjected to derogatory chants and boos as soon as the away spectators got to know about his presence.

Gerry Ryan Model Unveiled at Madame Tussaud's Dublin Museum
Gerard "Gerry" Ryan, presenter of radio and television employed by Raidió Teilifís Éireann (RTÉ), becomes the latest homegrown celebrity to feature in the Irish version of Madame Tussauds collection when he unveils a life-size model of himself at the Dublin museum on October 29, 2002.
Ryan is born in Clontarf, County Dublin on June 4, 1956. He describes his father, Vinnie, as a "slightly eccentric" dentist from a Presbyterian background and his mother, Maureen, as "a flamboyant woman" who comes from a theatrical background and works in the theatre. His godfather is broadcaster Eamonn Andrews. He is educated at St. Paul's College, Raheny.
Ryan hosts several series of television shows, including Secrets, Gerry Ryan Tonight, Ryantown, Gerry Ryan's Hitlist, Ryan Confidential and the first three series of Operation Transformation. In 1987, he earns notoriety and the moniker "Lambo" after an unpleasant incident in Connemara. He is also noted for co-presenting, with Cynthia Ní Mhurchú, Eurovision Song Contest 1994 and, in 2008, presenting an edition of The Late Late Show, television's longest-running chat show, in place of the then regular host Pat Kenny.
Ryan presents The Gerry Ryan Show on radio station RTÉ 2fm each weekday morning from 1988 until hours before his sudden death. He is presented with a Jacob's Award for the show in 1990.
Ryan marries Morah Brennan in 1988 and they have five children: Lottie, Rex, Bonnie, Elliott and Babette. In 1997, Morah famously telephones her husband's show and, under the name Norah, tells half a million listeners intimate details concerning his personal household habits. Gerry and Morah announce their separation in March 2008, which Ryan calls "a very painful experience." He soon begins a relationship with the former South African Ambassador to Ireland and the then UNICEF Ireland executive director, Melanie Verwoerd.
Ryan is noted for his love of fine food and wine. He battles a weight problem for several years and takes Reductil (Sibutramine), a "slimming pill," which he says is effective and safe. Ryan concedes in his autobiography Would the Real Gerry Ryan Please Stand Up, released in October 2008, that he drinks too much for his own good.
Ryan is found dead in the bedroom of his home on Leeson Street, Dublin on April 30, 2010.
Among the dignitaries to send tributes following Ryan's death are Bono, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Taoiseach Brian Cowen, and President Mary McAleese. His funeral takes place on May 6, 2010, and is broadcast on 2fm, the home of Ryan's radio show and a first for the predominantly youthpop-oriented station. His death also comes sixteen years to the day after he hosted Eurovision 1994.
An inquest shows that the cause of Ryan's death is cardiac arrhythmia and that traces of cocaine found in Ryan's system are the "likely trigger" of Ryan's death. A considerable public controversy erupts when Ryan's long-term use of cocaine comes to light. RTÉ eventually admits to having given insufficient coverage of Ryan's cocaine habit in the aftermath of the inquest.

Birth of Maureen Potter, Actor & Comedienne
Maria Philomena Potter, singer, actor, comedian and performer known as Maureen Potter, is born on January 3, 1925 in Fairview, Dublin.
Potter is educated at St. Mary's school in Fairview. She has a long career in Irish theatre, mainly as Ireland's première comedienne, but also as a straight actress. She first appears professionally with Jimmy O'Dea in pantomime and appears frequently on television and in cabaret. She is a regular performer at the Gaiety Theatre in Dublin and for many years stars in Christmas pantomime. She becomes the first star to have a bronze cast of her handprints outside the theatre. She marries Jack O'Leary in 1959, an Irish army officer whom she had first met in 1943, and he writes most of her comedic material.
Among Potter's many dramatic roles in the theatre is that of Maisie Madigan in Juno and the Paycock. While still a teenager, she tours abroad before World War II as a singer and dancer with Jack Hylton and his orchestra. On a tour of Germany, they once perform in front of Adolf Hitler and other Nazis. She plays the role of Dante Riordan in Joseph Strick's film, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1977). In September 1938, she appears on the BBC Television Service with Jack Hylton and his band. Film of her performance is held by the Alexandra Palace Television Society. In 2001, the Archivist of the Alexandra Palace Television Society gives Potter a copy of her 1938 television appearance.
Potter is conferred with the Freedom of the City of Dublin in 1984, and is later awarded an honorary degree from Trinity College, Dublin. She dies in her sleep at her home in Clontarf on April 7, 2004, at the age of 79. She is survived by her husband Jack O'Leary, and her sons John and Hugh.

Proclamation Banning O'Connell's Repeal Meeting Issued
On the night of Saturday, October 7, 1843, a proclamation is issued from Dublin Castle banning a Repeal Association meeting called by Daniel O'Connell north of the city at Clontarf on the following day.
The proclamation is written by the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, Sir Robert Peel, who calls the proposed meeting for the restoration of the Parliament of Ireland, abolished in 1801, "an attempt to overthrow the constitution of the British Empire as by law established."
Two warships, the Rhathemus and the Dee, steam into Dublin Harbour, carrying around 3,000 British troops to ensure the mass rally in favour of Repeal of the Union does not take place. The nationalist newspaper, the Freeman's Journal, alleges that the troops have been summoned to "cut the people down" and "run riot in the blood of the innocent."
O'Connell, the charismatic leader of the Repeal Association, has always insisted that his movement is non-violent. On the banning of the meeting and the arrival of troops, he frantically moves to call it off and to prevent "the slaughter of the people."
Handbills are posted around the streets of Dublin advising his supporters of the meeting's cancellation. A prominent Dublin builder and O'Connell supporter, Peter Martin, is sent to Clontarf to dismantle the platform erected there. Other activists are sent on horseback to the roads leading into the city to send back the thousands converging on Clontarf for the meeting.
The following day passes without incident. The Freeman's Journal rages against the "corrupt and impotent Government that has perverted the form of law for the purpose of robbing the people."
The Warder, a Dublin unionist newspaper, had been urging the suppression of the "plainly illegal under common law" O'Connellite mass meetings for months. The newspaper stops short of calling for civil war in the run–up to the meeting. Now it declares itself satisfied. It congratulates the Conservative government for belatedly seeing sense.
By contrast, the Repeal camp is deeply split. Many, particularly those Young Irelanders grouped around The Nation, blame O'Connell for capitulation to the threat of force and for his unwillingness to confront the British government. They break from him acrimoniously the following year.
With the cancellation of the Clontarf meeting, O'Connell's strategy of mass mobilisation in pursuit of Irish self government is over. He himself is arrested on charges of "seditious conspiracy" three days later.

Death of Writer John McGahern
John McGahern, regarded as one of the most important Irish writers of the latter half of the twentieth century, dies in Dublin on March 30, 2006. Known for the detailed dissection of Irish life found in works such as The Barracks, The Dark and Amongst Women, The Observer hails him as "the greatest living Irish novelist" before his death and in its obituary The Guardian describes him as "arguably the most important Irish novelist since Samuel Beckett."
Born in Knockanroe about half a mile from Ballinamore, County Leitrim, McGahern is the eldest child of seven. Raised alongside his six young siblings on a small farm in Knockanroe, his mother runs the farm (with some local help) while maintaining a job as a primary school teacher in the local school. His father, a Garda sergeant, lives in the Garda barracks at Cootehall in County Roscommon, a somewhat sizeable distant away from his family at the time. His mother subsequently dies of cancer in 1944, when the young McGahern is ten years old resulting in the unrooting of the McGahern children to their new home with their father in the aforementioned Garda barracks, Cootehall.
In the years following his mother's death, McGahern completes his primary schooling in the local primary school, and ultimately wins a scholarship to the Presentation Brothers secondary school in Carrick-on-Shannon. Having traveled daily to complete his second level education, he continues to accumulate academic accolades by winning the county scholarship in his Leaving Certificate enabling him to continue his education to third level.
Following on from his second level success, McGahern is offered a place at St. Patrick's College of Education in Drumcondra where he trains to be a teacher. Upon graduation from third level education, he begins his career as a primary schoolteacher at Scoil Eoin Báiste (Belgrove) primary school in Clontarf where, for a period, he teaches the eminent academic Declan Kiberd. He is dismissed from Scoil Eoin Báiste on the order of the Archbishop of Dublin, John Charles McQuaid. He is first published by the London literary and arts review, X magazine, which publishes in 1961 an extract from his abandoned first novel, The End or Beginning of Love.
McGahern marries his first wife, Finnish-born Annikki Laaksi, in 1965 and in the same year publishes his second novel, The Dark, which is banned by the Censorship of Publications Board for its alleged pornographic content along with its implied sexual abuse by the protagonist's father. Due to the controversy which is stirred by the book's publication McGahern is dismissed from his teaching post and forced to move to England where he works in a variety of jobs before returning to Ireland to live and work on a small farm near Fenagh in County Leitrim.
John McGahern dies from cancer in the Mater Misericordiae University Hospital in Dublin on March 30, 2006, at the age of 71. He is buried in St. Patrick's Church, Aughawillan alongside his mother.

Birth of Irish Author Abraham "Bram" Stoker
Abraham "Bram" Stoker, Irish author best known today for his 1897 Gothic fiction novel Dracula, is born on November 8, 1847 in Clontarf, Dublin. During his lifetime, he is better known as the personal assistant of actor Henry Irving and business manager of the Lyceum Theatre, London, which Irving owns.
Stoker's father, Abraham Stoker, is a civil servant and his mother, Charlotte Mathilda Blake Thornley, is a charity worker and writer. Stoker is a sickly child and is bedridden with an unknown illness until he starts school at the age of seven, when he makes a complete recovery. Growing up his mother tells him a lot of horror stories which may have influence on his later writings.
In 1864 Stoker enters Trinity College, Dublin. While attending college he begins working as an Irish civil servant. He also works part time as a free lance journalist and drama critic. In 1876 he meets Henry Irving, a famous actor, and they soon become friends. Not long after that, Stoker meets and falls in love with an aspiring actress named Florence Balcombe whom he marries on December 4, 1878 at St. Anne's Parish Church, Dublin. In 1878 he accepts a job working in London as Irving's personal secretary.
On December 9, Stoker and his new wife move to England to join Irving. His first book The Duties of Clerks of Petty Sessions in Ireland though written while he is still in Dublin, is published in 1879. On December 30, 1879 Stoker and his wife have their only child, a son Noel. While in England Stoker also writes several novels and short stories. His first book of fiction, Under the Sunset, is published in 1881.
Stoker visits the English coastal town of Whitby in 1890, a visit that is said to be part of the inspiration for Dracula. Before writing Dracula, he meets Ármin Vámbéry, a Hungarian writer and traveller. Dracula likely emerges from Vámbéry's dark stories of the Carpathian Mountains. Stoker then spends several years researching European folklore and mythological stories of vampires.
Dracula is an epistolary novel, written as a collection of realistic but completely fictional diary entries, telegrams, letters, ship's logs, and newspaper clippings, all of which add a level of detailed realism to the story, a skill which Stoker develops as a newspaper writer. At the time of its publication, Dracula is considered a "straightforward horror novel" based on imaginary creations of supernatural life.
The original 541-page typescript of Dracula is believed to have been lost until it is found in a barn in northwestern Pennsylvania in the early 1980s. It consists of typed sheets with many emendations, plus handwritten on the title page is "THE UN-DEAD." The author's name is shown at the bottom as Bram Stoker. The typescript is purchased by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen.
After suffering a number of strokes, Abraham "Bram" Stoker dies at No. 26 St. George's Square, London on April 20, 1912. Some biographers attribute the cause of death to tertiary syphilis, others to overwork. He is cremated and his ashes are placed in a display urn at Golders Green Crematorium in north London.

Earliest Verifiable Viking Invasion of Ireland
The earliest verifiable date of a Viking invasion of Ireland is September 9, 872, in Dunrally in what is now County Laois.
The Vikings conduct extensive raids in Ireland and found many towns, including Dublin, Limerick, Wexford, Waterford, Wicklow, Arklow and Leixlip. Literature, crafts, and decorative styles in Ireland and Britain reflect Scandinavian culture. Vikings trade at Irish markets in Dublin. Excavations find imported fabrics from England, Byzantium, Persia, and Central Asia. Dublin becomes so crowded by the 11th century that houses are built outside the town walls.
The Vikings pillage monasteries on Ireland's west coast in 795, and then spread out to cover the rest of the coastline. The north and east of the island are most affected. During the first 40 years, the raids are conducted by small, mobile Viking groups. From 830 on, the groups consist of large fleets of Viking ships. From 840, the Vikings begin establishing permanent bases at the coasts. Dublin is the most significant settlement in the long term. The Irish become accustomed to the Viking presence and culture. In some cases they become allies and also intermarry.
In 832, a Viking fleet of about 120 ships under Turgesius invades kingdoms on Ireland's northern and eastern coasts. Some believe that the increased number of invaders coincides with Scandinavian leaders' desires to control the profitable raids on the western shores of Ireland. During the mid-830s, raids begin to push deeper into Ireland. Navigable waterways make this deeper penetration possible. After 840, the Vikings have several bases in strategic locations throughout Ireland.
In 838, a small Viking fleet enters the River Liffey in eastern Ireland, probably led by the chieftain Saxolb, who is killed later that year. The Vikings set up a base, which the Irish call longphorts. This longphort would eventually become Dublin. After this interaction, the Irish experience Viking forces for about 40 years. The Vikings also establish longphorts in Cork, Limerick, Waterford, and Wexford. The Vikings are driven out of Ireland for a short period around 900, but return to Waterford in 914 to found what would become Ireland's first city. The other longphorts are soon re-occupied and developed into cities and towns.
The last major Irish battle involving Vikings is the Battle of Clontarf in 1014, in which a large force from the pan-Viking world and their Irish allies oppose Brian Boru, then the High King of Ireland and his forces, a small contingent of which are Viking defectors. The battle is fought in what is the now Dublin suburb of Clontarf on Good Friday of that year. Boru, the Irish High King has allowed the Viking King of Dublin, Sigtrygg Silkbeard, one year to prepare for his coming assault. Silkbeard responds by offering the bed of his mother to several Viking lords from Scandinavia, Ireland and Britain. The savage mêlée between the heavily mailed Norse and the unarmoured, yet undaunted Gaels ends in a rout of the Vikings and their Irish allies. Careful accounts are taken by both sides during the battle, and thus many famous warriors seek each other out for personal combat and glory. High King Brian, who is nearly eighty, does not personally engage in the battle but retires to his tent where he spends the day in quiet prayer.
The Viking Brodir of Man chances upon Brian's tent as he flees the field. He and a few followers seize the opportunity, and surprise the High King, killing the aged Brian before being captured. Brian's foster son Ulf the Quarrelsome later tracks down and dispatches Brodir by disembowelment. The battle is fairly matched for most of the day and each side has great respect for the prowess of the other, however, in the end, the Irish forces the Norse to return to the sea. Many of the fleeing Vikings are drowned in the surf due to their heavy mail coats as they struggled for the safety of their longships. Others are pursued and slain further inland.
After the battle, Viking power is broken in Ireland forever, though many settled Norse remain in the cities and prosper greatly with the Irish through trade. With Brian dead, Ireland returns to the fractured kingdom it had once been, but is now cleared of further Viking predation.

Birth of Writer John McGahern
John McGahern, regarded as one of the most important Irish writers of the latter half of the twentieth century, is born in Knockanroe about half a mile from Ballinamore, County Leitrim, on November 12, 1934. Known for the detailed dissection of Irish life found in works such as The Barracks, The Dark, and Amongst Women, The Observer hails him as "the greatest living Irish novelist" before his death in 2006.
McGahern is the eldest child of seven. Raised alongside his six young siblings on a small farm in Knockanroe, McGahern's mother runs the farm with some local help whilst maintaining a job as a primary school teacher in the local school. His father, a Garda sergeant, lives in the Garda barracks at Cootehall in County Roscommon, a somewhat sizeable distant away from his family at the time. In 1944, when McGahern is ten years old, his mother dies of cancer, resulting in the unrooting of the McGahern children to their new home with their father in the Garda barracks at Cootehall.
In the years following his mother's death, McGahern completes his primary schooling in the local primary school, and ultimately wins a scholarship to the Presentation Brothers secondary school in Carrick-on-Shannon. Having travelled daily to complete his second level education, McGahern continues to accumulate academic accolades by winning the county scholarship in his Leaving Certificate enabling him to continue his education to third level.

Upon graduation from third level education, McGahern begins his career as a primary schoolteacher at Scoil Eoin Báiste primary school in Clontarf where, for a period, he teaches the eminent academic Declan Kiberd, before returning to third level education in University College Dublin where he graduates in 1957. He is first published by the London literary and arts review magazine, X, which publishes in 1961 an extract from his unpublished first novel, The End or Beginning of Love.
McGahern's first published novel, The Barracks (1963), chronicles the life of the barrack's Garda sergeant's second wife, Elizabeth Reegan, who is in the decline of health due to cancer. The Barracks is adapted for the stage in 1969 by Hugh Leonard.
McGahern marries his first wife, Finnish-born Annikki Laaski, in 1965 and in the same year publishes his second novel, The Dark, which is banned by the Irish Censorship Board for its alleged pornographic content along with its implied sexual abuse by the protagonist's father. Due to the controversy which is stirred by the book's publication, McGahern is dismissed from his teaching post and forced to move to England where he works in a variety of jobs, including on building sites, before returning to Ireland to live and work on a small farm near Fenagh in County Leitrim.
After the publications of The Leavetaking (1974) and The Pornographer (1975), his fifth and perhaps best known novel, Amongst Women, is published in 1990. The novel details the story of Michael Moran, an Irish Republican Army (IRA) veteran of the Irish War of Independence and the Irish Civil War, who now dominates his family in the unforgiving farmlands of County Leitrim, near Mohill.
John McGahern dies from cancer at the age of 71 in the Mater Hospital in Dublin on March 30, 2006. He is buried in St. Patrick's Church Aughawillan alongside his mother.

Birth of Maria Josephine Doyle Kennedy, Singer & Actress
Maria Josephine Doyle Kennedy, singer, songwriter, and television/film actress, is born in Clontarf, Dublin, on September 25, 1964. With a singing career that has spanned nearly thirty years and an acting career that has spanned twenty five, she has established herself as one of Ireland's most prolific artists and entertainers.
Although Doyle Kennedy exhibits a love for singing at an early age, she never considers a formal career in singing until after she graduates from Trinity College, Dublin with a joint honours degree in political science and business. She never considers becoming an actress until after she establishes herself as a singer.
Doyle Kennedy joins a band while still in college in the mid-80s, performing with Hothouse Flowers during the band's early years. She leaves the band in order to join The Black Velvet Band with her future husband, Kieran Kennedy. The band releases their first album, When Justice Came, in 1989 which reaches number 4 on the Irish charts and is ranked among the best Irish albums of the late 1980s. Doyle Kennedy leaves the group to pursue a career in solo music and, in 2001, releases music on Mermaid Records, a label she founds herself in 2000.
After the release of her alternative folk album Mütter in 2007, Hot Press states that Doyle Kennedy "is one of the finest voices this country has ever produced." She is subsequently nominated in the Best Irish Female category at the 2008 Meteor Awards.
Doyle Kennedy's first experience with acting comes in 1991 when she plays Natalie Murphy in The Commitments. She continues to expand her acting platform with roles in John Boorman's 1998 film, The General, Alan Bleasdale's 1999 miniseries Oliver Twist, and the 1999 British television series Queer as Folk.
In 2007 and 2008, Doyle Kennedy receives widespread recognition for her role as Catherine of Aragon on the British historical fiction television series The Tudors. In 2011 she joins the cast of ITV's period drama Downton Abbey, appearing as Vera Bates, estranged wife of the Earl of Grantham's valet, one of her most recognizable roles within the United Kingdom. In the same year, she also plays a small role as a maid in the film Albert Nobbs, alongside American actress Glenn Close.
In 2012, she plays a leading role in the ITV mini-series Titanic and also appears beside fellow Irish actress Saoirse Ronan in Neil Jordan's horror fantasy film Byzantium, which premiers at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival. She appears in The Conjuring 2, the 2016 sequel to the supernatural horror film The Conjuring.

Death of Irish Dramatist Seán O'Casey
Seán O'Casey, Irish dramatist and memoirist, dies of a heart attack in Torquay, Devon, England on September 18, 1964. A committed socialist, he is the first Irish playwright of note to write about the Dublin working classes.
O'Casey is born John Casey at 85 Upper Dorset Street, in the northern inner-city area of Dublin on March 30, 1880. He is a member of the Church of Ireland, baptised on July 28, 1880 in St. Mary's parish and confirmed at St. John the Baptist Church in Clontarf. He is an active member of Saint Barnabas until his mid-twenties, when he drifts away from the church.
As O'Casey's interest in Irish nationalism grows, he joins the Gaelic League in 1906 and learns the Irish language. At this time, he Gaelicises his name from John Casey to Seán Ó Cathasaigh. He also learns to play the Uilleann pipes and is a founder and secretary of the St. Laurence O'Toole Pipe Band. He joins the Irish Republican Brotherhood, and becomes involved in the Irish Transport and General Workers Union, established by James Larkin to represent the interests of the unskilled labourers who inhabit the Dublin tenements. In March 1914 he becomes General Secretary of Larkin's Irish Citizen Army. On July 24, 1914 he resigns from the ICA, after his proposal to deny dual membership to both the ICA and the Irish Volunteers is rejected.
In 1917, his friend Thomas Ashe dies in a hunger strike and it inspires him to write. He spends the next five years writing plays. O'Casey's first accepted play, The Shadow of a Gunman, is performed at the Abbey Theatre in 1923. This is the beginning of a relationship that is to be fruitful for both theatre and dramatist but which ends in some bitterness. It is followed by Juno and the Paycock (1924) and The Plough and the Stars (1926).
The Plough and the Stars is not well received by the Abbey audience. There is a riot reported on the fourth night of the show. His depiction of sex and religion offends some of the actors who refused to speak their lines. W.B. Yeats intervenes and describes the audience as "shaming themselves."
In 1928, Yeats rejects O'Casey's fourth play, The Silver Tassie, for the Abbey. It is an attack on imperialist wars and the suffering they cause. The Abbey refuses to perform it. The plays O'Casey writes after this include the darkly allegorical and highly controversial Within the Gates (1934), which is set within the gates of a busy city park based on London's Hyde Park. It closes not long after opening and is another box office failure.
Over the next twenty years, O'Casey writes The Star Turns Red (1940), Purple Dust (1943), Red Roses for Me (1943), Oak Leaves and Lavender (1945), Cock-a-Doodle Dandy (1949), The Bishop's Bonfire (1955), and The Drums of Father Ned (1958). In 1959, O'Casey gives his blessing to a musical adaptation of Juno and the Paycock by American composer Marc Blitzstein. The musical, retitled Juno, is a commercial failure, closing after only 16 Broadway performances. Also in 1959, George Devine produces Cock-a-Doodle Dandy at the Royal Court Theatre and it is also successful at the Edinburgh International Festival and has a West End run.
On September 18, 1964, at the age of 84, O'Casey dies of a heart attack, in Torquay, Devon. He is cremated at the Golders Green Crematorium.

Q: Usar Thymeleaf (SpringBoot) en android Tengo un desarrollo en SpringBoot y Thymeleaf muy sencillo.
Me gustaría migrar el desarrollo a Android utilizando WebView y el motor de plantillas de Thymeleaf.
Pero no se si es posible.
Es decir, no se si Thymeleaf es compatible con android. Y si el sistema de archivos de Android me permitiría utilizar los archivos de plantillas de thymeleaf.
¿Sabe alguien si es posible incorporar las librerías de Thymeleaf en un proyecto de Android Studio?
Creo que me ahorraría mucho tiempo, si fuera posible.
Ya programé una experiencia semejante con las plantillas Chunk (https://www.x5software.com/chunk/examples/ChunkExample), pero no lo utilicé en SpringBoot porque parece que trabaja mejor con Thymeleaf.
Tampoco sé si son muy parecidas...
Gracias por vuestra ayuda.

Q: Query is not understandable - using field Fulltext search [Tags] = "foo" I have a problem that only happens rarely with FT search. but once it happens it stays. I use the following search term in the FT search box in Lotus Notes
[Tags] = "foo"
in most application this search term work fine. but for some applications this search term gives the error "query is not understandable".
It does not matter if I replace the value, e.g [Tags] = "boo" produce the same result. and also FIELD Tags = "boo". for the record [Tag] = "foo" works fine so it seem be issues with the field or field name.

*

*The problem only happens in some applications. Once this problem start happening no views can be searched using that search query and I get the error message everytime I search.

*It does not help to remove, compact and re-create the FT index.

*I get the same error in xpages when using the same search query in a view data source.

*I have seen this problem using other fieldnames as well in other application.

*If I remove the FT index the search query works

*Creating a new copy of the "broken" database does not resolve the problem

*I tried to have only one document in database, create a new FT index. the document in view does not have the field "Tags" still not working. (there are other forms in db with the fieldname "Tags")

This is a real show stopper for me as I have built some of my XPages based on search values from specific fields

*

*In my own invstigation of this problem I think it has to do with some sort of bug in the FT index. There seem to be some data contained in documents or forms that causes the FT index to not work correctly.

I am looking for a solution to this problem as I have not found a way to repair it once it has become broken.
Update:
It does not help to follow this procedure
https://www-304.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21261002
Here is my debug info

A: It sounds like you need to fix the UNK table with a compact.  Here is the listing of compact options, use a copy style not in place.
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21084388

A: If Tags field is sometimes numeric, I would advise looking at the database design. The UNK table is a table of all fields in the NSF. The first time a field name is used, it is stored in the UNK table as that data type. Full text searching uses that data type and only that data type. If you have a field Tags on more than one form in a database, once numeric and once text, you're in for big trouble with full text searches. The datatype in searches will depend on which datatype the field was on the first document saved which had that field. Even if you delete all documents that have it as numeric, you won't change the UNK table without the compact. Sounds like that's what you have here. Ensure the database never stores Tags as numeric. Delete or change all docs with it stored numeric. Then compact.

A: Thank you all for answering.  I learned a whole lot about UNK tables and FT index today.
The problem was that I had a numeric field called "Tags" in a form that I hadn't looked at and really didn't think that it would contain a field by that name.
after using the DDE search I found all instances of the tags field and could eaily locate the problem form. I renamed the field in the form, removed the FT indx , used compact -c and recreated the ft index. now everythig is working fine.
One other thing to notice is that I have several databases with the same design but only a few of them had the ft index problem, the reason for this is probably because some of these databases was created after the form with the faulty Tags field was created.
I am so happy to have solved this.
lessons learned
If you plan to use fulltext index in your application. make sure you do not have the same field name in different forms and use different field types.
from now on I will probably use shared fields more :-)
One more thing we discovered
You actually do not need notes peek to find out which field tpe is stored in the UNK table. you can use the "Fields" button in the searchbar. if you select the field and the right hand box displays "contains" you know the unk table has a text field type set.


Fans of the original Gunslinger slot developed some years ago by Play'n GO should be more than pleased with the latest edition of this popular game following an extensive revamp using modern development technology and techniques.
The 5 reel, 25 pay-line game retains its Wild West theme, depicted more dramatically with sharp graphics, animation and sound effects.
In Gunslinger: Reloaded, the storyline follows the mysterious Gunslinger, a nomadic enforcer who roams the Wild West, chasing lawbreakers and collecting bounties on some of the nation's most wanted criminals.
The graphics include stallions, Colt six-guns, wanted posters, gold and saloon ladies, backing a game that features wilds, scatters, free spins, bonuses and a jackpot.
Play'n GO has added three great bonus features to make gameplay more exciting and lucrative.
The most inventive of these is the "Bounty Hunt," where players chase one of the game's main villains through the streets of the town, before finally facing them down in an old-fashioned shoot-out.

Write "agree" in your proposal so i know you have read all the details.
The topic is required to write on Stay tuned, I'm still working on this proposal.


This article is 1st part of multi series article on WCF 4.0. This article will list all the new feature of WCF and also will explain in detail Dynamic Service and End Point Discovery feature of WCF 4.0.
What are the new in WCF 4.0?
.svc-less activation of REST services or making REST URI nice.
I will discuss details of each feature in subsequent articles. This article is emphasizing on Dynamic Service and End Point discovery. So please tune in.
People say; you need to know only ABC of a service to expose End Point of that service. And client or service consumer needs to know only End Point to consume the service. But wait for a while here, and think; what if? Binding need to change at the service side from basic to WS over HTTP, This is very basic change but to accommodate this client has to update the service again. And this is very much error prone. It is very tedious task to update client about all the basic frequent change at the service side. To solve this issue, there should be some mechanism and that is called End Point Discovery or Dynamic Service.
WCF 4.0 supports WS –Discovery standard or protocol.
WS-Discovery is a Standard that defines a lightweight discovery mechanism for discovering services based on multicast messages. It enables a service to send a Hello announcement message when it is initialized and a Bye message when is removed from the network.
Client or consumer can discover services by multicasting a Probe message to which a service can reply with a ProbeMatch message containing the information necessary to contact the service.
Client or consumer can find services that have changed endpoint by issuing a Resolve message to which respond with a ResolveMatchmessage.
So, we can say WS –Discovery is a UDP based multicast message exchange. This message receives End Point information from Service and uses this as discovery information. Client uses discovery information to discover the available service on the network.
WCF provides, WCF Discovery API for dynamic publish and discovery of web service using WS –Discovery protocol. This API helps service to publish them and helps client to find service on the network.
In managed mode there is a centralized server called a discovery proxy that services use to publish themselves and clients use to retrieve information about available services.
When a new service starts up it sends an announcement message to the discovery proxy.
The discovery proxy saves information about each available service to storage.
When a client must search for a service it sends a Probe request to the discovery proxy and it determines whether any of the services that have been published match the request.
If there are matches the discovery proxy sends a ProbeMatch response back to the client.
The client can then contact the service directly using the service information returned from the proxy.
There is no centralized server.
Service announcements and client requests are sent in a multicast fashion.
If a service is configured to send out a Hello announcement on start up, it sends it out over a well-known, multicast address using the UDP protocol.
Therefore, clients have to actively listen for these announcements and process them accordingly.
When a client issues a Probe request for a service it is also sent over the network using a multicast protocol.
Each service that receives the request determines whether it matches the criteria in the Probe request and responds directly to the client with a ProbeMatch message if the service matches the criteria specified in the Probe request.
In this sample, we will create a very basic service and at the client side, first client will discover the service in Ad-Hoc mode and then consume that.
To run and go through this sample, you need Visual Studio 2010 Beta.
Delete all the code which is generated by Visual studio. After deleting Contract and Service Implantation is as follows.
The above is simple Service Contract and implantation of that.
Open Web.Config file. And modify the System.ServiceModel. Add the code which in red rectangle below.
One new End Point is being added.
Kind of newly added End Point is udpDiscoveryEndpoint.
This End Point will be used to discover the service.
ServiceDiscovery behavior is also get added.
Press F5 to run the service. Service will get hosted in ASP.Net web server.
Add a new console project in solution. Add Reference of System.ServiceModel.Discovery.dll in console project.
We are making object of DiscoveryClient class. This class is user to discover available service.
In constructor of this class, we are passing UdpDiscoveryEndPoint of the service.
Then we are calling Find method with contract name as argument to get FindResponse.
Now FindResponse variable having all the available address for contract passed in Find method.
We are creating the client proxy and passing discovered address as argument.
Calling the service operation on the client proxy.
In this article, I talked about what are the new features in WCF 4.0. I went into details of Dynamic Service and End Point Discovery. In later articles, I will cover in detail other features as well. Till then, thanks for reading.
How same thing can be done through config ?
i am getting error The client could not discover any endpoints .

Agatha christie – the body in the library
Mrs. Bantry was dreaming. Her sweet peas had just taken a First at the flower show. The vicar, dressed in cassock and surplice, was giving out the prizes in church. His wife wandered past, dressed in a bathing suit, but, as is the blessed habit of dreams, this fact did not arouse the disapproval of the parish in the way it would assuredly have done in real life. Mrs. Bantry was enjoying her dream a good deal.
She usually did enjoy those early-morning dreams that were terminated by the arrival of early-morning tea. Somewhere in her inner consciousness was an awareness of the usual early-morning noises of the household. The rattle of the curtain rings on the stairs as the housemaid drew them, the noises of the second housemaid's dustpan and brush in the passage outside. In the distance the heavy noise of the front-door bolt being drawn back.
Another day was beginning. In the meantime she must extract as much pleasure as possible from the flower show, for already its dreamlike quality was becoming apparent.
Below her was the noise of the big wooden shutters in the drawing room being opened. She heard it, yet did not hear it. For quite half an hour longer the usual household noises would go on, discreet, subdued, not disturbing because they were so familiar. They would culminate in a swift, controlled sound of footsteps along the passage, the rustle of a print dress, the subdued chink of tea things as the tray was deposited on the table outside, then the soft knock and the entry of Mary to draw the curtains. In her sleep Mrs. Bantry frowned. Something disturbing was penetrating through the dream state, something out of its time. Footsteps along the passage, footsteps that were too hurried and too soon. Her ears listened unconsciously for the chink of china, but there was no chink of china. The knock came at the door. Automatically, from the depths of her dream, Mrs. Bantry said, "Come in." The door opened; now there would be the
chink of curtain ring as the curtains were drawn back.
But there was no chink of curtain rings. Out of the dull green light Mary's voice came, breathless, hysterical. "Oh, ma'am, oh, ma'am, there's a body in the library!" And then, with a hysterical burst of sobs, she rushed out of the room again.
Mrs. Bantry sat up in bed. Either her dream had taken a very odd turn or else – or else Mary had really rushed into the room and had said – incredibly fantastic! – that there was a body in the library. "Impossible," said Mrs. Bantry to herself. "I must have been dreaming." But even as she said it, she felt more and more certain that she had not been dreaming; that Mary, her superior self-controlled Mary, had actually uttered those fantastic words. Mrs. Bantry reflected a minute and then applied an urgent conjugal elbow to her sleeping spouse. "Arthur, Arthur, wake up." Colonel Bantry grunted, muttered and rolled over on his side. "Wake up, Arthur. Did you hear what she said?"
"Very likely," said Colonel Bantry indistinctly. "I quite agree with you. Dolly," and promptly went to sleep again.
Mrs. Bantry shook him. "You've got to listen. Mary came in and said that there was a body in the library." "Eh, what?" "A body in the library" "Who said so?" "Mary."
Colonel Bantry collected his scattered faculties and proceeded to deal with the situation. He said, "Nonsense, old girl! You've been dreaming."
"No, I haven't. I thought so, too, at first. But I haven't. She really came in and said so."
"Mary came in and said there was a body in the library?" "Yes.

Home > Improving Conditions > Rheumatoid Disease > Can Oral Contraceptives Reduce The Risk of Chronic Pain?
Author's note: I hesitated publishing this piece because I myself don't take BC pills given the Hashimoto's and how the pill interacts with your thyroid. But in the spirit of more information is better, I give you the below… and as always, it's a decision between you and your health care team. So, with that perspective… read away!
Ever been a murder mystery party? You and your friends sit around, eat food, and try to figure out who was murdered and why. These harmless, guilty pleasures can be an absolute hoot with the right crowd. But when you think of chronic pain and the mysteries surrounding why some of us have it, it's clear that not all mysteries are fun. In fact, some mysteries can be very painful.
Easily one of the most frustrating parts of chronic pain is that you don't always know the cause. There are still so many questions researchers have about autoimmune diseases. We can't always explain why we have a certain disease. With some chronic pain cases, we may have a lot more questions than answers. And this mystery isn't something that will be figured out in a night. In fact, it may be a long time before researchers have a full grasp on some diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis.
Since there is so much mystery surrounding diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, there are many researchers out there constantly searching for answers. One interesting study recently looked specifically at oral contraceptives and how they may actually reduce the risk of getting rheumatoid arthritis. If you're interested at uncovering the mysteries surrounding chronic pain, this study may be worth looking into.
The study in question is a Swedish epidemiological investigation of rheumatoid arthritis. Researchers looked at more than 2,000 women who have the disease and used more than 4,000 women who didn't have any kind of rheumatoid arthritis, as controls. All of the subjects took an extensive questionnaire about the health, lifestyle, disease and oral contraceptives. The study also looked at if breastfeeding plays a role in developing rheumatoid arthritis.
Why this particular link between Rheumatoid Arthritis and oral contraceptives?
Researchers have noticed a link between chronic pain and women. They've come to question whether or not hormones, such as those in oral contraceptives or breastfeeding, can play a role.
It is interesting to think about why rheumatoid arthritis – and many, many more similar rheumatoid diseases and autoimmune diseases – seem to affect more women than men. It certainly creates a lot of questions about how women's health, biological factors and even environmental situations, which can create the perfect storm for these diseases to develop. It also really makes us wonder if there are choices we can make that will influence our chances of developing these kinds of diseases.
Researchers did find that it those who had used oral contraceptives were less likely to have RA than those who had never taken any kind of oral contraceptive. But they couldn't confirm that breastfeeding played any role in whether or not women had chronic pain.
While this is certainly interesting, it's always important when talking about autoimmune diseases that you understand that one study can't predict everyone's future. We're all different and we all have different genes, lifestyles and environments that can impact our chances of having chronic pain, or any other similar disease. This also definitely doesn't mean that if you take birth control, you for sure won't ever have rheumatoid arthritis.
Oral contraceptives should not be used as a preventative measure. In fact, the only thing these have an extremely high chance of preventing is a pregnancy. But until we discover more about these diseases, it's important to know what researchers are finding.
I was diagnosed of Parkinson disease in January 2015,then my mom was diagnosed of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and my father was diagnosed of ALS me and my family was so frustrated till one day my father came across a forum where so people was writing about Dr George (Good health herbs home), who sells herbs supplements to cure different kinds of deadly diseases,so me and my family decided to give it a try . We contacted Dr George (Good health herbs home) immediately and purchased herbal supplements for Parkinson Diseases,ALS and Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA).
He sent the herbal supplements to me through courier service and i received it within 2days. i used it as instructed and me and my family was totally cured of Parkinson Diseases,ALS and Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) within 5 weeks of usage, all thanks to Dr George (Good health herbs home) God bless.

The communication must contain the name of the employee, time and place of event as well as the nature and cause of same in simple language.
Where an employee or his dependants fail to make such communication, they are prohibited from making any claims for compensation under the Employees' Compensation Act.

May 16, 2022 United States
Despite ongoing supply chain constraints and macro headwinds, the Michigan-based company reported a strong first quarter in 2022, confirming its full year guidance
"Revenue and operating margin exceeded expectations, despite gross margin pressure related to higher supply chain costs and channel mix shift. We are encouraged to see continued strong demand across brands and have upcoming product launches and powerful marketing initiatives planned to drive further excitement among consumers. Looking ahead, we remain committed to advancing our primary growth strategies, with a more focused approach on execution as we capitalize on a favourable industry backdrop in outdoor, performance and work categories", commented Brendan Hoffman, Wolverine Worldwide's President and Chief Executive Officer.
First Quarter Results
In the first quarter of 2022, which ended on the 2nd of April, Wolverine Worldwide reported a revenue increase of 20.4%, reaching 614.8 million US dollars, as compared to the same period of last year.

Gross margin declined 100 percentage points to 42.5% in the first quarter of the current fiscal year, on a comparable basis to the same quarter of 2021. Wolverine Worldwide highlighted, however, that this results was in line with its plan and includes "incremental supply chain costs and a revenue mix shift toward the international distributor business".
In the first quarter of 2022, Wolverine Worldwide announced diluted earnings per share were 0.12 US dollars, as compared to diluted earnings per share of 0.45 US dollars in similar period of the prior year. Adjusted diluted earnings per share were 0.41 US dollars, as compared to 0.40 US dollars in the first quarter of 2021.
Fiscal 2022 Outlook
"We are encouraged by the strong start to the year with revenue and earnings per share exceeding our expectations. Looking forward, the continued strong demand for our brands combined with improving inventory flow supports our reiteration of full-year revenue and EPS guidance", stated Mike Stornant, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.
For fiscal 2022, Wolverine Worldwide is expecting revenue in the range of 2.76 billion US dollars to 2.85 billion US dollars, reflecting growth of approximately 15.0% to 18.0%, as compared to the prior fiscal year. The company is also anticipating diluted earnings per share to be between 2.30 US dollars to 2.45 US dollars, and adjusted diluted earnings per share to be between 2.50 US dollars to 2.65 US dollars.

German Graves
A Haunting stroll through an old cemetery In the imperial city of Aachen.
Cemeteries have always fascinated me.
On my way home after school, I sometimes stopped at one of Aachen's old cemeteries.
I liked how peaceful it was. There was silence and tranquility. I could be alone with my thoughts. I could just sit on a bench under a tree and think.
Yeah, that's the kind of thing I enjoyed as a teenager. I still do.
Just sit under a tree in a cemetery and contemplate life's big questions:
Does our life have any lasting consequence?
Or is our existence ultimately meaningless and quickly forgotten?
What happens after we die?
What better place to think about those things than a quiet cemetery, where time seems to stand still? It's a great place to be in the moment. To be mindful.
You've probably guessed by now that I was not a lot of fun at parties.
One of the things I liked to think about was what life was like for the people in those graves. Some of them were decades old. Some even centuries.
Aachen is a very old city. Charlemagne, the great uniter of Europe, ruled his Holy Roman Empire from there. His ancient throne room still stands.
I liked looking for the oldest graves I could find.
Many were destroyed during World War 2. Some of the war's heaviest fighting raged in Aachen. The cemeteries are filled with the war's silent witnesses.
Every now and then, you still find one of the really old graves, from the Middle Ages.
Occasionally construction crews stumble on ancient Roman ruins while excavating a basement.
There is a lot of history in Aachen.
Some of it is on display in its ancient cemeteries. They're like open air museums, filled with sculptures. I love to admire the artistry and craftsmanship.
I would like to invite you on a silent stroll through Aachen's history, to catch a glimpse of those who lived and died while creating that history.
