As we prepare to head into the final week of the season, the quest to finish at the top of the college basketball rankings continues. It appears as though things are going to get shaken up again, with current #1 Villanova losing to #5 Xavier earlier in the week, and that may just open the door for the Oklahoma Sooners who are currently sitting at #3. They have already won their first game of the week, but have a tougher task to face this weekend when they have to head to Texas to face the Longhorns. There is no guarantee that they will be back at the top with a win, but they would most certainly have to be in the discussion. There are only a few opportunities left to get your regular season NCAA basketball betting game on, and this is one of the best ones to take a look at on Saturday.
The Sooners (22-5, 10-5) are most likely not going to land at the top of the Big-12 by the time next week draws to a close, but they may have a pretty good consolation prize in waiting. There is the distinct opportunity that they could head into March Madness as the #1 overall seed, but they are going to have to win their final 3 games to make that happen. They have 2 of their final 3 games against ranked opponents, which would actually help their cause, and they have to be confident, as Texas and Baylor are both teams that they have already beaten. They come into this one on a modest 2-game winning streak, but are riding high after taking out #10 West Virginia last weekend. The Sooners are averaging 82.1 PPG, and are giving up 70.2 PPG.
Texas (18-10, 9-6) have the unenviable task of playing the current #3 and #2 ranked teams in their next two games, but they may well be relishing the prospect of playing a major role in who finishes the season as the top ranked team in the nation. The Longhorns have shown that they are not afraid to go head to head with the big boys this season, and they have taken out 5 different ranked teams over the course of the year. That said, they did lose to the Sooners the last time out, but that one did come on the road, and was only a 3-point losing margin. The Longhorn are averaging 72.4 PPG, and are giving up 68.0 PPG.

As the female face of the Nashville sound, Patsy Cline help change the course of country history and now a new documentary looks to explore her legacy.
Cline is now the focus of an upcoming PBS special, as part of their on-going, award-winning American Masters, which will feature never-before-seen archival material from the Cline estate and new interviews with Reba McEntire, LeAnn Rimes, Kacey Musgraves, Wanda Jackson, Mickey Guyton, Rhiannon Giddens, actress Beverly D'Angelo, Thin Lizzy's Ricky Warwick, Cline's own daughter Julie Fudge and others, along with narration by Rosanne Cash. With exclusive access to the estate, the film also includes rare performances of her classics such as 'Walkin' After Midnight', 'Three Cigarettes in an Ashtray', 'Come On In', 'I Fall to Pieces', 'Crazy', 'You Made Me Love You' and more.

The series will premiere nationwide, beginning March 4 on PBS (check local listings) during Women's History Month as part of the 31st season of THIRTEEN's American Masters series.
American Masters delves into Cline's personal influence on other artists and her pivotal role in shaping the sound of country. Along with Decca Records producer Owen Bradley and others, she worked to fuse country, pop and rock in a new way to create the Nashville Sound.
As a rising star in the fifties, Cline blazed her own path both as an artist and as a woman in the music industry. She sought out success on her own terms, wore whatever she wanted, and demanded the same opportunities afforded to her male Nashville peers, such as headliner billing, radio airplay and better contracts.
Cline epitomized the 'three cords and the truth' ethos of country music, pouring her heart and soul into every song. Despite her years of overcoming personal and professional obstacles, her career was cut tragically short at the age of 30.
"She came through it, the car wreck, the bad marriage, the poverty that she lived in and having to quit school and go to work", Reba McEntire says in the trailer. "All of those things made her what she was".
Her many posthumous honours include being the first solo female performer to be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame and a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. She was also portrayed on the big screen, in the Oscar-winning feature film Coal Miner's Daughter (1980) by D'Angelo and in Sweet Dreams (1985) by Jessica Lange.
"It's been such a privilege to tell the story of Patsy Cline. For me, her story exceeds her musical accomplishments. She is in a rare class of women who simply set out to achieve their dreams and through those efforts left an indelible mark", said Emmy-nominated director and producer Barbara J Hall.

Supreme Court Declines To Hear Led Zeppelin
By Andrew Limbong
Published October 5, 2020 at 4:07 PM EDT
Led Zeppelin performing on stage in 1977. The band has been battling this allegation of copyright infringement since 2014.
The Supreme Court has declined to hear a case alleging that the band Led Zeppelin plagiarized the opening of one of its signature songs, "Stairway to Heaven." This upholds a previous March ruling that landed in favor of Zeppelin, and possibly ends a legal battle that has gone on since 2014.
The original suit was filed by Michael Skidmore, a trustee for Randy Craig Wolfe — whose stage name was Randy California — the late guitarist and songwriter for the band Spirit. It released the instrumental, "Taurus," in January, 1968, on its self-titled debut album - more than three years before Led Zeppelin released "Stairway" on its fourth album.
In 2016, a jury ruled in favor of Led Zeppelin. The case was revived and brought to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, which again ruled in favor of Zeppelin this year. Francis Malofiy, the lawyer representing Wolfe's estate, told NPR at the time that Led Zeppelin won "on a technicality," as the court focused on the written score submitted to the U.S. Copyright Office, instead of allowing the jury to hear the recordings of the songs.
"And I think that's very disheartening for the creatives, and it's a big win for the multibillion-dollar music industry," he said.
This is a case that's being watched closely by people in the music industry. Ever since a 2015 jury found Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams liable for copyright infringement over their song "Blurred Lines," there have been a number of copyright infringement suits against such high-profile stars as Katy Perry, Justin Beiber, and Ed Sheeran.

PAYBACK: A Nate Dunlevy Novel
When al-Qaeda targets crowded European soccer stadiums, counter-terrorist experts are dispatched to prevent catastrophe. In Madrid, Nate Dunlevy infiltrates a terrorist cell with Devon McLean covering his back. Their covert operation is jeopardized by Fadia, a young woman demanding retribution against Islamic extremists. Her ill-timed appearance exposes Nate and triggers the death of Anwar, the son of an al-Qaeda leader. Although they avert disaster at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium, the mission is tainted. Back in Washington, Nate's superior questions his fitness and suggests he go into safer intelligence work, using Eve O'Connor as a decoy. Nate vehemently rejects any job that could put her at risk.
Soon, his problems become compounded when he complies with the admiral's wishes and attends a dinner at the Spanish Embassy in Washington. After being bureaucratically blind-sided and betrayed by a government conspirator, he and Eve O'Connor rush from the Embassy and find themselves in the hands of al-Qaeda members who demand revenge for Anwar's death.
Payback reunites Flashback fans with Nate Dunlevy, Devon McLean, Eve and Katie O'Connor. This compelling story honors unsung heroes who fight terrorism everyday and depicts the wrongful treatment of women in several Middle Eastern Countries.
In 2007, D. A. Welch published Flashback and earned a Reader's Choice award. Since the story encompasses South Carolina's coastal region, the book was featured on local news stations in Charleston, Savannah, and Hilton Head Island. In 2009, she published Payback, a sequel that begins in the Low Country, but this story takes readers to Madrid, Washington DC, and Beirut. Although the venues differ, both novels are fast-paced adventures featuring heroic men and women, and the life-altering challenges they must overcome.

Q: Efficient ways to store multiple excel files in a database? We're working on a big inner project which enables users to upload excel files, and eventually perform searches on all the data that is gathered from these excels. I'm trying to do my homework before we begin the design, and come up with the best solution.

The requirements are -

*

*User can upload an excel file with as many columns as he wants, so that there's no predefined structure for the excel.

*In contrary to the first point, there are a few fields we assume the user to have. For example - First name, last name. These colums don't have to exist.

*The search option will work as following - When the user searches, he can search by specific columns - the ones that were predefined and we expected his excel file to have. (In our example - First and last name).
He can also search all the other columns, under the field "Other".

Another word about the Other search field - This field will go through all the columns in all the excel files that don't fit the predefined columns. I.E - One file has an age column, another has a birthplace column, the "other" field will search through all those columns.

What's the best way to do this?

*

*Dynamically create a new django model for each excel uploaded, with all the columns the excel has?

*Dynamically create a new django model for each file, with all the predefined columns (if they exist!), and a "other" text field, which will concatenate all unrelated fields?

*Have one big django model (means only 1 table in my database) which has all my predefined fields (which again, can be null), and also a field called "others" which will concatenate all the unrelated columns?

*I can have my main table which has all the predefined columns, and another table with a foreign key to the main table, where each row represent an "other" field.

Example for the 4th solution -
+----+--------+--------+--------+
| id | field1 | field2 | field3 |
+----+--------+--------+--------+
|  1 | val1   | val1   | val1   |
|  2 | val2   | val2   | val2   |
|  3 | val3   | val3   | val3   |
+----+--------+--------+--------+

And the dimension table -
+----+------+------+
| fk | key  | val  |
+----+------+------+
|  1 | key1 | val1 |
|  1 | key2 | val2 |
|  1 | key3 | val3 |
|  2 | key4 | val4 |
+----+------+------+

As for Scaling - We expect to eventually have no more than 1500 excel files, each containing between 100 to approx. 100,000 rows (We will probably limit the number of rows each excel file has to 100k). Statistics we have from the excels examined say that we won't go over the 30~ million rows.
We will be using Django with either MySQL or PostgreSQL.
I hope my question was clear and not too opaque.
Thanks!

A: EDIT: After you changed your question. I have added a short section on your model 4.
I would strongly recommend against dynamically creating tables. This is messy and I doubt it will perform well. Your database will create an access path for each database table you will query, so if you create multiple databases files you will need to search all of them.
You probably need a variant of your model 3.
This means you use one table, but instead using columns for each field, you create two columns one for the excel column name and one for it's value. You will also need some additional entries to identify which excel column and values belong to which excel spreadsheet.
So conceptually, instead of modelling:
field1 field2 field3 field4 other
------------------------------------
x       y     z       a     etc=xyz

You model it like this:
sheet fieldname value
------------------------------------
key   field1    x
key   field2    y
key   field3    z
key   field4    a
key   etc       xyz

The advantage of this model is that programming your searches become easier. You can model any search simply as a select * from data where fieldname='%s' and value='%s'. If you create a database index on fieldname (and probably an index on the key you use to identify the excel sheets), there should be no performance penalty over your original ideas for model 3.
Your model 4 would also work. It has the advantage that, for the predefined fields, your user's query statements would easily map to SQL select statements. It has the disadvantage that you need to handle your "others" columns differently from the rest of the user's search criteria. You also indicated that users sometimes do not enter the columns that you expect to be there. This means you have to make these columns nullable, which increases the storage requirements.
Overall, I think that my suggested approach it better than your option 4, as it conceptually simpler. You indicated that you thought it would create too many rows. Indeed that would create more rows, but MySQL and PostgresSQL can easily that amount of rows. PostgresSQL can store an unlimited number of rows. MySQL can store 4000~ million rows (and you can compile MySQL with --big-tables if you need more).
In terms of performance, it makes no real difference how big your table is, as long as you have an index on the field.

Q: Meaningfully interpreting BaseN encoded feature importances I have data on a user's birthplace, specifically a city. Since I have a few thousand cities in my dataset, I looked for alternatives of OneHot encoding, since I didn't want to add thousands of columns to my dataset for a single column. I found BaseN encoding is a good alternative to OneHot, so I went with that. I encoded my data with base 4, so instead of a string column City now I have cumeric columns City_0, City_1 etc.
However, after modeling the dataset with a Random Forest Classifier, I have found that certain City_# variables are amongst the most important features. But how do I interpret this result? Since the cities have been encoded into 4 separate columns, how can I draw an actual conclusion (e.g. which cities impact my target variable the most)? Is there a method, or did I completely lose interpretability by encoding the cities this way?

A: You could export your pipeline into PMML data format using the SkLearn2PMML package; during conversion, the BaseN encoding is undone so that it will be easy to see which cities flow in which direction.
Conversion example:
from sklearn2pmml import sklearn2pmml
from sklearn2pmml.pipline import PMMLPipeline

mapper = ColumnTransformer([
  ("cat", BaseNEncoder(base = 4), cat_cols),
  ("cont", "passthrough", cont_cols)
])
classifier = RandomForestClassifier()
pipeline = PMMLPipeline([
  ("mapper", mapper),
  ("classifier", classifier)
])
pipeline.fit(X, y)
pipeline.pmml_feature_importances_ = classifier.feature_importances_
pipeline.configure(numeric = True)
sklearn2pmml(pipeline, "MyInterpretablePipeline.pmml")

If you toggle the conversion option to numeric = False, then BaseN encoding will be completely undone so that city names are directly embedded into the RF data structure.
In any case, the PMML is the most human-friendly data format for persisting fitted ML pipelines. PMML is a subset of XML, so these files can be opened, viewed and edited using any text editor.

KGB Bar - A Brief and Distorted History
By Denis Woychuk, Founder & President
In the years since it opened in 1993, KGB has become something of a New York literary institution. Writers hooked up in the publishing world read here with pleasure and without pay to an adoring public over drinks almost every Sunday evening (fiction), Monday evening (poetry), and most Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. The crowd loves it. Admission is free, drinks are cheap and strong, and the level of excellence is such that KGB has been named best literary venue in New York City by New York Magazine, the Village Voice, and everyone else who bestows these awards of recognition.
The story of the KGB Bar and how it came to be is a long tale and some of you readers may want to skip it. KGB Bar isn't even mentioned until page six.
Well… If you're still with me, don't say I didn't warn you. It all started when I was a child ...
When I was a small boy growing up in Brooklyn, my father took me regularly to visit his haunts in Manhattan. We got off the D train at West 4th Street and Sixth Avenue and walked east, past Washington Square Park and NYU, past Lafayette Street, past the two gas stations at Bowery and East 4th, and into the heart of the most Ukrainian neighborhood in New York, the Lower East Side. It would be years before the "East Village" was invented by enterprising real estate agents who convinced the world that everything north of Houston Street, south of 14th Street and east of the Bowery, was a very special place, but I knew it already. In those days the neighborhood was seedy and tough but, for me, there was no where else like it. On Sundays we went to a place called the Ukrainian Labor Home, a social club for Ukrainian socialists. They had a little building at 85 East 4th Street, an obscure red brick tenement (to call it a townhouse would be pushing it), with a single large room on the first floor known as the great hall where they held their banquets, dances, and parties; and above that, hidden away on the second floor, their own private speakeasy. There were no posters of the great Soviet revolution, no photos of the politburo with Breshnev presiding, no propaganda whatsoever visible anywhere--all that was hidden away in a double-locked room on the fourth floor because these people had been subject to McCarthy's feverish persecutions and they didn't want to advertise their political sympathies.
Across the street was La Mama's theater complex and Club 82, the first openly transvestite night spot in the city. Two doors up was Truck & Warehouse Theater (now the New York Theater Workshop) where Sullivanian cultists indoctrinated runaways to betray their parents.
On Sundays in the Ukrainian Labor Home's great hall there was a dance class for children just a little older than I--I was about five at this time--they dressed in folk costumes from the old country and pranced to an accordion. Did I want to join them? No, I did not. The room was too large, twenty-five feet wide and one hundred feet long, larger than any room I'd ever seen before, and the sheer size of it took my breath away; it gave me vertigo. Rather than dance lessons, I preferred the company of my father's cronies in the intimacy of their private club one flight up. There, we drank. (Yes, we drank.) Formerly a Lucky Luciano joint called the Palm Casino, the bar was built during prohibition well before the membership of the Ukrainian Labor Home bought the place in 1948. This was the members' true domain, and my dad and his pals set themselves up with shots of whiskey, vodka, Four Roses or whatever--with a little shot for me. I tried to drink it down without spitting it up while the men laughed. We had a good time.
Years later my father moved to East 10th Street. I stayed with my mother in Brooklyn where I had my friends, my school, my life, and, for a while, I lost touch with my father's friends. It wasn't until much later--and by this time I was teaching writing at Pratt Institute (the art college in Brooklyn) and putting myself through school at Fordham Law--that I began stopping by again. Law was practical, a means to make it to the middle class; but "creativity," the arts, was where my heart lived. The boom-boom 1980's were upon us, the East Village was a hotbed of artistic activity, and the great hall where I'd watched the children dance was essentially unused. Age had taken its toll and the members of the Ukrainian Labor Home were past feasts and big parties. Now they needed money, so they offered me the great hall to use as an art gallery. Once again it took my breath away and, so, with a nod to my forebears the Kraine Gallery was born. We did exhibitions by day and soon thereafter theater at night to help with the cash flow; I ran operations by telephone from my law office on Park Avenue.
The old men kept the bar. They weren't that old--pushing eighty or so--and they could still drink. It was still their club.
The bar had a little kitchen belonging to the old men's wives, and I dined Friday nights with my artist friends on perogies and three bean salad, maybe a little pot roast or some kapusniak, served by these little old Ukrainian ladies who made everything by hand. All told, a four course meal with a shot of vodka cost $5. Even artists could afford that. And if you left 75 cents or a dollar on the table one of these sweet old things would chase you down with a shout, "Hey Mister, you forgot your money on the table!"
Eventually the membership of the Ukrainian Labor Home grew too old to continue their little bar/restaurant and the operation closed. By this time it was the early '90's and my gallery was out of business, in large part due to the stock market crash in 1987 and the subsequent disappearance of most of the galleries in the East Village. I'd left my Park Avenue practice years before and established myself in the public interest area of psychiatric law; now I had an office at a maximum security hospital for the dangerously mentally ill where I represented patients' rights. It was interesting work, without the killer hours of private practice, and gave me a chance to pursue an old hobby, theater; but with a twist: for the first time, the theater was making money. Although it had been started as an afterthought to the gallery, it had become the success while the gallery folded. Also, the bar had become available; it was empty.
I've always said, an empty bar creates a vacuum, and a vacuum wants to be filled. So what could I do? Although my Ukrainian grandfather was a successful bootlegger back in the '20's, I myself knew nothing about the bar business. I asked for advice and one of the first bits I got was, "Don't open a bar on the second floor. There are no bars on the second floor for a reason. They go bankrupt." I was never much for free advice and with a little help from friends going back as far as junior high school (I sold them a 49% interest) I got ready to open the bar for business.
But what do you call a place that's almost impossible to find without special knowledge or a guide, a place with a history of left wing radicalism, which I intended to establish as a legitimate counter-culture venue? KGB seemed my obvious choice. I called the Department of State in Albany and told them I wanted to register a new corporation. "KGB!" the clerk on the line replied. "You can't call a corporation KGB, not in New York State. Not KGB, FBI, CIA, or even GAY. You can't just pick a name out of a hat. You have to justify, give a good reason for whatever name you choose." He was wrong as a matter of law but you don't argue with clerks at the Department of State. "Okay," I said. "I want to call it Kraine Gallery Bar, after my gallery of the same name." "That you can do," he replied reluctantly. And so Kraine Gallery Bar, d/b/a KGB Bar, was legally born.
A business's first obligation is to survive, and the first year we were barely meeting that obligation. Potential patrons could not find the place, we had only the tiniest sign, the first manager was suspected of embezzling and revenues were low. Yet somehow I had undying optimism. I knew that once people found KGB, its walls now plastered with authentic propaganda posters, photos and paintings from the fallen Soviet empire, they would love the room, the sense of history and vibe. Then I got a stroke of luck: I hired Dan Christian, someone who actually understood the bar business, as bar manager. Things began to run more smoothly, freeing me up to conspire with Melvin (one name--like Madonna, and one of my partners) about what to make of our diamond in the rough.
We were both writers. I had published a couple of books, and he a bunch of novels, and we looked at each other over our drinks and it was clear. We wanted writers. Writers who would come and read their work for no pay but a few free drinks. KGB would be open to the public without charging a cover. Drinking would be encouraged but not required.
We booked Frank Browning for our very first reading in the summer of 1994. Somehow the New York Times heard about it, sent a reporter and photographer, and that week ran an article about the new reading series at KGB. Melvin posted signs at Columbia University: Interns Wanted--No pay. Big Prestige. Help Run Our Reading Series! --along with a copy of the article. We were barraged with offers, both from would-be interns and authors. And it hasn't let up.
KGB has been rocking along ever since. Its obscure location turned out to be more of an asset than a hindrance, operating as a kind of velvet rope for the uninitiated. We didn't even bother to put up a real sign until 2000--seven years after we opened--and bankruptcy is the furthest thing from my mind these days. It sure beats working.

Życiorys
Juliusz Adam Zaleski urodził się 29 maja 1889. Był wnukiem Ludwika Zaleskiego z Mikuliczyna (powstaniec listopadowy) oraz drugim dzieckiem lekarza i społecznika dr Karola Zaleskiego (1856–1941) oraz nauczycielki Wilhelminy z domu Leixner (1859–1912)
. Miał ośmioro rodzeństwa: (pięciu braci i trzy siostry), byli to kolejno Tadeusz (ur. 1887), Karol (ur. 1890), Zygmunt Jan (ur. 1892), Władysław (ur. 1894), Maria Elżbieta (1896-1967, po mężu Hanus), Jakub (ur. 1899), Jadwiga (ur. 1900) i Zofia Ludwika (1903–1906, zmarła w dzieciństwie na zapalenie opon mózgowych). Rodzina zamieszkiwała w tzw. Willi Zaleskich. W 1907 zdał egzamin dojrzałości w C. K. Gimnazjum Męskim w Sanoku (w jego klasie był m.in. Wojciech Stepek). Następnie kształcił się na studiach filozoficznych na kierunku filologii polskiej na Wydziale Filozoficznego Uniwersytetu Franciszkańskiego we Lwowie do 1912. W 1910 był stypendystą w Bibliotece Zakładu Narodowego im. Ossolińskich (wówczas stypendystą był także Władysław Dajewski, późniejszy profesor sanockiego gimnazjum). Na początku 1910 został uznany przynależnym do gminy Sanok. Od 1912/1913 był członkiem Towarzystwa Nauczycieli Szkół Wyższych. Należał do Towarzystwa Literackiego im. Adama Mickiewicza.

Jako kandydat stanu nauczycielskiego w roku szkolnym 1911/1912 przysłuchiwał się lekcjom szkolnym w C. K. Gimnazjum im. Franciszka Józefa we Lwowie. 29 sierpnia 1912 został mianowany zastępcą nauczyciela w tej szkole i złożył przysięgę służbową 10 września tego roku. Uczył tam języka polskiego, języka łacińskiego, języka greckiego. W roku szkolnym 1913/1914 do kwietnia 1914 przebywał na urlopie.

Po wybuchu I wojny światowej w sierpniu 1914 podjął decyzję o wstąpieniu do formowanych Legionów Polskich, jednak nie powiodło się usiłowanie przystąpienia w szeregi Legionu Wschodniego. Jesienią 1914 został asenterowany do C. K. Armii, w szeregach której służył początkowo jako jednoroczny ochotnik. Najpierw był kadetem-aspirantem w Wiedniu. Został awansowany na stopień podporucznika rezerwy z dniem 1 sierpnia 1916. Służył w rezerwowej kompanii w Przemyślu. Brał udział w działaniach wojennych na froncie litewskim, bukowińskim, siedmiogrodzkim oraz włoskim, gdzie został ciężko ranny, po czym przebywał w szpitalu polowym. W 1917, 1918 pozostawał podporucznikiem rezerwy 45 Pułku Piechoty Austro-Węgier w Sanoku. W służąc w tej jednostce w Przemyślu w 1918 przystąpił do struktur Polskiej Organizacji Wojskowej, organizowanych przez por. Leona Kazubskiego (także sanoczanina). Na skutek zdrady sierżanta Mżika był objęty śledztwem, rewizją oraz inwigilacją.

Po zwolnieniu ze służby i otrzymaniu urlopu powrócił na Uniwersytet Lwowski, gdzie zdał rygorozum i na podstawie dysertacji pt. Monolog w dramacie 18 kwietnia 1918 uzyskał tytuł doktora filozofii (promotorem przewodu doktorskiego był prof. Wilhelm Bruchnalski). Pierwotnie przygotowywał się do pracy nauczycielskiej w macierzystym lwowskim gimnazjum przed rokiem szkolnym 1918/1919. U kresu wojny na przełomie października i listopada 1918 przebywał w Sanoku i był organizatorem Wojska Polskiego tamże polskiego garnizonu w mieście i powiecie sanockim (z tego czasu zachowały się notatki i zapiski Juliusza Zaleskiego oraz jego artykuł opublikowany w tygodniku Ziemia Sanocka z 7 grudnia 1918). W listopadzie 1918 został dowódcą kompanii tzw. "Batalionu Dzieci Sanockich" (później był autorem wspomnień tej jednostki publikowanych w 1919/1920 na łamach czasopisma "Ziemia Sanocka"). W szeregach tej jednostki brał udział w wojnie polsko-ukraińskiej. Był także w składzie pociągu pancernego "Kozak". Dekretem Wodza Naczelnego Józefa Piłsudskiego z 19 lutego 1919 jako były oficer armii austro-węgierskiej został przyjęty do Wojska Polskiego z dniem 1 stycznia 1918 wraz z zatwierdzeniem posiadanego stopnia podporucznika ze starszeństwem z dniem 1 listopada 1918 (mianowanie na ten stopień uzyskał tym samym rozkazem także jego brat Władysław) i rozkazem z tego samego dnia 19 lutego 1919 Szefa Sztabu Generalnego płk. Stanisława Hallera mianowany komendantem Szkoły Podoficerskiej w Sanoku od 1 listopada 1918. Później uczestniczył w wojnie polsko-bolszewickiej, odbywając służbę w Obozie Warownym "Przemyśl". Został zwolniony z czynnej służby w sierpniu 1920. Został awansowany do stopnia kapitana rezerwy piechoty ze starszeństwem z dniem 1 czerwca 1919. W 1923, 1924 był oficerem rezerwowym 39 pułku piechoty Strzelców Lwowskich, stacjonującym w garnizonie Jarosław. W 1934 jako kapitan rezerwy piechoty był przydzielony do Oficerskiej Kadry Okręgowej nr I jako oficer po ukończeniu 40 roku życia i pozostawał wówczas w ewidencji Powiatowej Komendy Uzupełnień Warszawa Miasto III.

W okresie II Rzeczypospolitej pozostawał nauczycielem. W roku szkolnym 1912/1922 odbył praktykę w Miejskim Gimnazjum Herbertów w Dobromilu. Od roku szkolnego był profesorem w macierzystym gimnazjum we Lwowie, przemianowanym na III Państwowe Gimnazjum im. Stefana Batorego, w którym uczył języka polskiego, historii i był zawiadowcą biblioteki nauczycielskiej, opiekunem Kółka Polonistycznego. W maju 1924 uzyskał dyplom kwalifikacyjny uprawniający do nauczania języka polskiego w szkołach średnich ogólnokształcących i seminariach nauczycielskich. Poza gimnazjum równolegle pracował także w Zakładzie Naukowym Żeńskim z prawem publiczności im. Zofii Strzałkowskiej we Lwowie (ucząc języka polskiego do ok. 1926), w wyższych kursach nauczycielskich oraz wykładał historię literatury na Wydziale Ogólnym Politechniki Lwowskiej. W 1926 otrzymał tytuł profesora gimnazjalnego. W III Gimnazjum pracował do 26 maja 1930, po czym od 1 czerwca 1930 pełnił obowiązki okręgowego wizytatora szkół w Kuratorium Okręgu Szkolnego Lwowskiego. Następnie, od 1 grudnia 1930 pełnił obowiązki ministerialnego wizytatora szkół w Ministerstwie Wyznań Religijnych i Oświecenia Publicznego. Z tej funkcji został zwolniony z dniem 31 sierpnia 1932 i ponownie powierzono mu pełnienie obowiązków okręgowego wizytatora szkół w KOSL – w tym czasie pozostawał na stanowisku profesora Państwowego Gimnazjum im. Stanisława Staszica w Warszawie. Stanowisko wizytatora szkół średnich KOSL pełnił do 1939. W czerwcu 1938 był przedstawicielem lwowskiego kuratorium na I Zjazd Absolwentów z okazji 50-lecia pierwszej matury w sanockim gimnazjum. Publikował w zakresie historii i krytyki literatury zarówno wydawnictwa zwarte, jak również w czasopiśmie "Pamiętnik Literacki", ponadto był wydawcą.

Po wybuchu II wojny światowej, agresji ZSRR na Polskę z 17 września 1939 oraz nastaniu okupacji sowieckiej ziem polskich został aresztowany przez Sowietów 13 marca 1940 w miejscu swojego zamieszkania przy ulicy Józefa Piłsudskiego 23 we Lwowie (późniejsza ul. Iwana Franki). W listopadzie 1940 został zamordowany w siedzibie NKWD w Kijowie. Jego nazwisko znalazło się na tzw. Ukraińskiej Liście Katyńskiej opublikowanej w 1994 (został wymieniony na liście wywózkowej 41/2-24 oznaczony numerem 347, dosłownie określony jako Julian Zaleski). Ofiary tej części zbrodni katyńskiej zostały pochowane na otwartym w 2012 Polskim Cmentarzu Wojennym w Kijowie-Bykowni.

Juliusz Zaleski był żonaty z Jadwigą z domu Bursztyńską, z którą miał córkę Danutę (ur. ok. 1928). W kwietniu 1940 oboje zostały deportowane w głąb ZSRR na obszar Kazachskiej SRR. Jego brat Jakub także został ofiarą zbrodni katyńskiej (został zamordowany w Katyniu). W artykule prasowym o rodzinie Zaleskich z 1982 roku na łamach czasopisma "Podkarpacie" podano, Juliusz zginął podczas II wojny światowej, a Jakub w trakcie kampanii wrześniowej.

Uruguay's authorities have called on private pot growers to send in applications if they want to farm the plant in a government-run field as the country is taking a step closer to selling recreational drug.
The tender was issued from the Institute for the Regulation and Control of Cannabis (IRCCA), a newly formed governmental body which oversees the marketplace for marijuana. Open until August 18, it seeks up to five cannabis farmers who will get a license allowing them to grow the plant at a government-run field.
Five-year licenses will allow the growers to produce and distribute between one and two tons of pot a year. The drug will be allowed to be sold to the country's pharmacies at about $1 a gram. The plant will then be sold to private owners with regulated sales to start early next year. The government expects some 150,000 people to sign up for the program, with annual production of around 20 tons of cannabis.
The area permitted for cannabis cultivation is in the southwest of Uruguay. The perimeter of the field will be guarded 24 hours a day, officials said.
The South American nation of Uruguay became the first country in the world to legalize the sale, cultivation, and distribution of cannabis in December 2013, despite global criticism.
Each Uruguayan citizen will have an opportunity to grow up to six marijuana plants, the equivalent of 480 grams, but only for personal use. The growers, on the other hand, will be allowed to produce and distribute a total of one to two tons of cannabis per year, to be sold at pharmacies for about $1 a gram, according to AFP.
According to the legislation, buyers will be able to grow their own or purchase cannabis via consumers' clubs. The customers must be 18 or older, residents of Uruguay, and must be registered as cannabis consumers with the authorities.
Cannabis users will also be allowed to organize smoking clubs of 15 to 45 members, which will be able to grow up to 99 plants per year.

Bumps and lumps form on the hands for various reasons. However, only 1-2% of tumors on the hand are malignant cancer. Tumors can cause pain, impede movement, or are merely unsightly, prompting patients to seek treatment. The most common types of cancer affecting the hand or wrist are skin cancers, such as squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, and melanoma.
Ganglion Cysts: benign, liquid-filled sacs that form over joints and tendons, most commonly at the wrist. This type of cyst may form alone, or in a group. Ganglion cysts are not harmful and make up about 50% of all soft tissue hand tumors. Though they are not life-threatening, they can cause pain and impede hand or wrist movement. If needed, these growths can be treated through various options, including needle aspiration or surgery.
Giant Cell Tumor of Tendon Sheath: these firm growths develop from the tendon sheath (membrane surrounding a tendon) or joint lining. These growths are not harmful and can be removed, though they often recur.
Inclusion Cysts: the result of a puncture or laceration of the hand, these growths often form years after the initial injury.
Carpal Boss: often mistaken for a ganglion cyst. Carpal boss is actually an overgrowth of bone on the back of the hand. It is firmer than a ganglion cyst. Though this growth is not harmful, it can be removed.
Enchondroma: a condition where cartilage grows inside the bone forming a non-cancerous tumor. It can result in a weakening of the bone. They are usually discovered through hand X-rays. Most instances of enchodroma require no treatment, though in aggressive cases they can be treated surgically.
Dr. Fiore specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of Hand and Wrist Tumors. He is board certified by the American Board of Surgery and fellowship trained in hand and microsurgery. For more information on treatment options, or to schedule a consultation, call Fiore Hand and Wrist at (281) 970-8002.

Lots of people like to engage in sports betting, additionally, there are plenty of those who are not into this one. However, sports betting can make an individual wealthy and anyone can make a decent living out of it this method assuming that you do this one in an honest fashion. One method to be successful in sports betting is to get the Sports Betting Champ system by John Morrison.
Sports betting will not be everyone's cup of tea but one can create a decent living out of it within an honest way. The key to winning here is to obtain John Morrison's Sports Betting Champ system which will help you choose winners in leading games in the NBA, MLB and NFL. If you feel picking winners is simply a lucky exercise, then reconsider because there is science indeed behind it which system has it right.
Back then, most sports bettors rely solely on luck as well as their instincts in picking the team for their bets. Nonetheless, fortune and instinct are unable to provide long streak of deducing the possible winner in the ball game he/she loves. It is possible to say that luck and instincts are incredibly unreliable and if you rely on them as well much, you could end up risking your money and ultimately, lose it. Therefore, you should ensure which you have a trusted system so your money is saving and there will be an increased chance so that you can achieve success in sports betting.
Getting a winning betting system inside the rough and tumble arena of BK8 can occasionally be easier than you believe! You just need to keep the eyes open and your brain functioning. Which is, don't be drawn in by each of the hype. Today's winning betting systems are built over a statistical research into the data offered in the sporting venue of your choice. So, having the ability to employ a system that creates enough sports betting income to reside on turns into a more viable alternative.
In the event you could design a pc-driven sports analysis program that would offer you insight into all of the high percentage trending winners in every given sporting venue, you might be able to cleanup. At the minimum, the chances of you having more winning bets rather than losing bets would dramatically increase, mainly because the system would get rid of each of the high percentage losing bets and merely recommend the high percentage winners. Now, that's the sort of system that makes sense.
Placing winning bets on sporting events may not be that easy something to achieve. The raw statistics tell us that many people are likely to lose their shirts if they're not careful. If you are planning to risk your bankroll erheww betting arenas, you want a sports betting system that has taken most (if not all) the danger from your betting strategy.
When choosing a sports betting system, you should try to find a thing that is laser-focused on just a few sporting events, the one that has had time for you to gather each of the vital statistics for your event(s) it targets. If you want betting on the NFL, the NBA, and MLB, then you definitely have picked some potentially profitable areas to concentrate on. These are sports where statistics are publicly available and they are fairly easy to follow. Whereas, betting on something such as horse racing could be fraught with uncertainty, with a lot of unknown variables. The more statistics you may gather in regards to a specific sport, the higher the percentages of your own crafting a winning betting system.
The simple truth is that luck brought many fortunes as well as blessings to several bettors; however, this stuff tend not to happen usually. Having your own Sports Betting Champ system is what you really need apart from luck. The creator with this system, John Morrison, used all his sports betting and statistical analysis brilliance and expertise to come up with this system able to making many bettors wealthy.
With all the looming financial disaster today, many people are venturing into sports betting because of the promise of enormous income as a result. Sorry to say, these people are lacking the skills about sports betting and all of they think about is winning inside their bets without considering any systematic method to attain it.


Over the past 25 years, sporting event attendance has surged thanks to gigantic cathedral-like stadiums and plenty of Standing Room Only sections. In the past decade alone, each of the four "major" sports in the United States (football, basketball, baseball and hockey) has hosted a competition which garnered over 100,000 paid attendees. This got us thinking: what are the most attended sporting events of all time? Some of the answers may surprise you.
The number six event on our list was a college hockey game that took place back in 2010 between two bitter rivals: Michigan State and Michigan University. The two schools squared off in an outdoor game at the University of Michigan's stadium (dubbed the "Big House") where 104,173 fans braved a windy day to see the Wolverines clobber the Spartans by the score of 5-0. Given the popularity of the NHL's outdoor Winter Classic, it's particularly interesting that the most attended hockey game of all time was indeed a college game.
After the City of Arlington shelled out 1.3 billion dollars to construct a new stadium for the Dallas Cowboys, the NBA All-Star game chose the stadium as the venue for their All-Star game in 2010. Since its inception, AT&T Stadium has hosted numerous football games, boxing matches, and even WrestleMania. However, the highest-attended sporting event in the stadium was the NBA All-Star Game. The game itself was decided by just two points, with the Eastern Conference winning by the score of 141-139. Miami Heat guard Dwayne Wade was named the game's MVP after scoring 28 points and finishing with 11 assists.
Despite this writer being a lifetime Boston Red Sox fan himself, I somehow had no memory of the team's exhibition game against the Dodgers back in 2008. The game was played at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, which usually hosts USC Trojan football games. The Dodgers were celebrating their 50th anniversary of their move from Brooklyn to L.A. and decided to host the game at the Coliseum, where they had played for four seasons. Despite the awkward appearance of the baseball diamond in the middle of an oval-shaped stadium, over 115,000 people were in attendance. The Red Sox ended up besting the Dodgers by the score of 7-1 that day.
Surprisingly enough, the most attended soccer match took place in the European Cup (now called the Champions League) semi-finals back in 1970. Visiting side Leeds United surely felt the pressure of the home town Celtic Supporters, seeing that 132,000 of the 136,505 were fans of the Glaswegian side. Long-time club servant Bobby Murdoch provided the game-winning goal that day as Celtic topped Leeds and advanced to the European Cup Final. Celtic would eventually lose to Feyenoord in the final.
Our second remarkably well-attended event took place less than a year ago. College football rivals Virginia Tech and the University of Tennessee squared off for a regular season game that was unlike any other before it. Taking place on the infield of the NASCAR track at Bristol Motor Speedway, the game was attended by over 150,000 people. The ceremonial coin toss was attended by former Volunteer Peyton Manning, and the game itself featured solid performances from recent NFL draftees Joshua Dobbs and Alvin Kamara. Tennessee rallied back from an early 14-0 deficit to beat the Hokies by the score of 45-24.
Believe it or not, the event topping our list is actually a professional wrestling show. In late April of 1995, World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) teamed up to produce a pay-per-view event held in North Korea. The show was headlined by a clash between two legends of the sport, Ric Flair and Antonio Inoki. Over the two days that the event took place, over 355,000 were in attendance at the May Day Stadium.

It's literally right in the middle of everything that everyone wants to do in Colorado summer or winter, without a huge pricetag. Period, end of story. I'd personally love to come back.
Nice and spacious self contained condo, close to a number of different resorts.
It was a business trip with daily time on the slopes and it was great to come "home" at the end of each day vs. an anonymous hotel.
The option of eating at home was greatly appreciated as well.
We booked this property with short notice and were very pleased with our choice. The condo was exactly as advertised very clean and had just what we needed in the kitchen for us to make our meals.
Great location. Plenty of shops. Short car ride to ski resorts.
The scene every morning I woke up to.
This was a great place to stay. It was very nice and close to town. I would definitely recommend it.
Well located, clean, efficient condo just right for a family of 4 or less. We felt at home!
This was a great rental. 2 bedrooms and SUPER spacious. Very clean, all the details were excellent and a great location near I70. The garage for my car was a great bonus. Highly recommend.
It was very spacious and very comfortable, Well appointed and in a great location.
We appreciate this feedback and apologize we missed stocking the laundry detergent. We will be more mindful of this in the future. We are working on repairing the ice maker. Thanks!
Stayed in a Condo managed by Vacasa for the first time. The condo was great and my thanks to the owner for a wonderful place- very clean and well furnished. It was the final cost that shocked and upset me. Expedia listed the price as $85.41 a night for a two bedroom condo. Nowhere on the listing was a breakout of other fees. Only after the fact, did I find the disclaimer that the property owners could charge additional fees for parking, cleaning, other. The additional fees, in this case were almost twice the cost of the condo rate. A ripoff and bad advertisement in my eyes. Never staying at Vacasa property again.
GREAT clean CONDO, close to outlet, trails nearby as is shopping and restaurants!!!....they will offer early check in and late check out via EMAIL... nothing fancy but it's everything YOU need in a CONDO!!!
Clean. Fully stocked. Nice TV.
We had a lovely stay in March 2018. The whole experience was so seamless and easy. A great Apartment which is in a fab location. Close to Silverthorne outlet shops and easy access to get to all the different surrounding ski resorts.
It was so great to have a garage to put your car away. We were able to get our VW Golf and Ford Edge which shows how long it is.
This condo is a good deal and it was exactly as pictured, which was great. Centrally located to several ski areas, Silverthorne is a cute little town. The condo was spacious, well-equipped and clean. We would stay there again in a heartbeat.
Good bargain price at a location central to many ski locations. The unit was nicely stocked with ample cooking utensils and basic spices etc.
Stay was pleasant centrally located.
Very happy we selected this condo. Will definitely stay here again. Liked the deep private garage and layout of the condo. Very convenient location.

Openreach and Huawei trial fastest Fibre-to-the-Premises broadband technology in European first
Openreach, BT's local network business, and Huawei, a leading global information and communications technology solutions provider, have become the first companies in Europe to trial an exciting new broadband technology which could super-charge speeds for businesses and consumers in the future.
styxjneyklxvsb9jrjcp-410217.jpg
Pioneering breakthrough for the UK's digital infrastructure
First simultaneous demo of 40Gbps 'NG-PON2', 10Gbps 'XGS-PON' and 2.5Gbps 'GPON' over a single fibre
The trial involved a Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) connection running between the University of Suffolk, Ipswich Exchange, and BT's world renowned R&D centre at Adastral Park. It saw 40Gbps, 10Gbps and 2.5Gbps speeds delivered simultaneously over a single fibre optic cable.
The most common FTTP technologies in the UK today offer maximum speeds of up to 330Mbps, with a single fibre transmitting 2.5Gbps of capacity, which is then shared between customers. But this latest breakthrough shows that much greater capacity of 40Gbps and 10Gbps can be supported along the same fibre, demonstrating how FTTP networks can be future-proofed to stay well ahead of prospective demand for bandwidth.
The different technologies use separate wavelengths, meaning that all three can operate seamlessly on the same fibre network, known as "co-existence". This demonstrates not only how operators can flex to meet ultrafast speeds in the future, but also the latent capability of network that Openreach has already deployed.
The University of Suffolk has been using the service for the past two weeks allowing them the high bandwidths required for today's demanding research. During the next phase of testing the University will use the high bandwidth for streaming lectures, designing games, and delivering online courses – amongst other services.
Clive Selley, Openreach CEO, said: "Superfast speeds are now available to 9 out of 10 homes and businesses and we're taking fibre further. We're also excited to be bringing the country ultrafast speeds.
"We'll be taking ultrafast to up to 12 million UK premises by the end of 2020, and to the majority by 2025. But it's also vital that we continue to look even further into the future, and prepare for increasing data consumption over our network. That's what this trial is all about.
"The trial proves that not only is our FTTP network fit for the future, but with the right equipment in the customer's home and at the exchange, we can tailor speeds to suit their individual requirements. So whether you're a small business specialising in graphic design or a keen gamer using UHD and virtual reality, we'll make sure your communications provider can offer you the speeds and value for money services that you need.
"I'm looking forward to discussing this technology breakthrough further with our communications providers to see how it could help shape their future plans."
Jeff Wang, president of Huawei Access network, said: "Huawei has been running an Innovation program with Openreach for many years and we are looking forward to continuing the partner relationship for the future. Huawei's investment and innovation in both fibre and copper based technologies will help Openreach to deploy the ultrafast broadband to serve the UK public for many years to come and help achieve Openreach ambitions of passing 10 million homes with G.fast and up to a further 2 million homes with FTTP by 2020."
Peter O'Rourke, Director of IT at University of Suffolk, said: "The University is proud to partner with industry and so welcomed the opportunity to collaborate with Huawei and Openreach to demonstrate these exciting new technologies."
Today, more than 91% of homes and businesses in the UK have access to superfast speeds of 30Mbps and above[1], whilst the Openreach fibre network is available to 26 million homes and businesses. More than 100 different communications providers (CPs) are offering services over the company's open wholesale fibre network, and all CPs have access to superfast and ultrafast services under the same terms, conditions and pricing.
The company will make ultrafast speeds available to as many as 12 million premises by the end of 2020, using a mixture of FTTP and G.fast technologies.

Arup Major Projects' case studies (17 September, page 48) are good examples of programme management and Arup is undoubtedly adept at this.
However, their suggestion that ability at front-end business planning will put them in "pole position" to pick up the implementation stage is a clever marketing idea inherited from management consultants but one that, dare I say it, discerning clients will see through. Strategy and delivery are different beasts, requiring different skill sets.

Detroit drug kingpin suspect's arrest has local impact
Spencer Remoquillo
LANCASTER — Although there is no direct connection to the major pharmaceutical bust implicating a former Detroit police officer — accused of running a drug ring supplying Athens County — local law enforcement officials say there are positive implications for Fairfield County and surrounding areas.
Athens County law enforcement agencies arrested the man they describe as a "major drug kingpin" just before he was about to fly out of Atlanta to flee the country, Athens County Prosecutor Keller J. Blackburn said.
The former police officer, Brandon Jorge Allen, was indicted Friday on 12 felony counts, including engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity, a first-degree felony.
Fairfield County has dealt with similar cases before. However, this particular drug ring had a different target in mind: Athens County.
"Over the years, we've dealt with different cells of individuals from Detroit," said Eric Brown, commander of the Fairfield-Hocking Major Crimes Unit, which recently added Athens County to its purview.
Despite its target being a little farther south of Fairfield County's borders, Brown said, taking down an alleged kingpin positively affects Athens County's surrounding areas and Detroit, which is where many of the drugs in the area come from.
"When you're seeing this kind of quantity, that's really disturbing," Brown said. "It's reached into a lot of communities."
Brown compared the pharmaceutical drug ring and others to a mail route where traffickers would pick up pills from a handful of suppliers until enough were collected to transport for customer purchase.
"You would see anywhere from 500 to 800 pills at a time, and that's a lot," he said.
A few months ago, Brown and other surrounding agency leaders met with Detroit law enforcement to address the problem of drug trafficking from Michigan into several areas of Ohio, specifically along U.S. 33.
"We tried to figure out how we could combat some of these problems coming out of that area," Brown said.
During the meetings with law enforcement, Brown said it was clear that Detroit was not having an oxycodone diversion problem.
"It was all coming to Ohio and this area," he said. "That was kind of an interesting twist to that meeting."
It seems that some of the collaboration between agencies has paid off.
"This is an unprecedented investigation that has gone to the source of oxycodone coming into southeastern Ohio," Blackburn said in a statement. "We are going to change the culture and return hope to our communities."

Wiz Khalifa biography
Wiz Khalifa is a popular American rapper from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. He became famous for the hits Say Yeah and Black And Yellow. The music video for his song See You Again has become one of the most popular in the whole history of YouTube, gaining more than 4 billion views.
In the photo: Wiz Khalifa
Wiz Khalifa (real name: Cameron Jibril Thomaz) was born on September 8, 1987 in Minot, North Dakota. Both of his parents, his mother, Peachie Wimbush Polk, and his father, Lawrence Thomaz, served in the military. The musician and his elder brother Dorien Tomaz, nicknamed «Lala», spent their childhood in various military garrisons, and not only in the United States. The family managed to live in England, Germany and Japan.
Wiz Khalifa (Cameron Jibril Thomas) as a child
In 1990, the parents of three-year-old Cameron divorced. According to the musician, they gave him a lot, they taught him not to trust anyone and always tell the truth.
In 1996, Peachie moved to Pittsburgh with Wiz and his elder brother. Having settled in a new place, Khalifa, who showed an interest in music from an early age, began to write lyrics, with the hope to record them some day. In 2002, a 15-year-old boy agreed with the owners of the local ID Labs studio. At the same time, he attended Taylor Allderdice High School.
Wiz Khalifa with mom and brother
The musician confessed that 90s Pittsburgh was a gloomy city. Gang warfare constantly took place there; sounds of shooting could be heard in the air every day. Sometimes Cameron noticed puddles of blood on the pavement at the bus stop when he got on the school bus. There were cases when his friends were killed. Bandits didn't touch him, but the police bothered him, since they did not like Cameron's skin color. Once the police stopped his car, put a gun to his temple and ordered him to get out of the city.
Wiz Khalifa in his youth
The musician got his pseudonym thanks to his uncle, who was also a rapper and professed Islam. He called the boy «Wisdom», and then added to it the Arabic word «khalipha», which means «success». In 2002, the young man removed the ending «dom» from the first word and today's familiar stage name Wiz Khalifa came out. In 2004, he got a tattoo of this name.
At first, Wiz Khalifa participated in the creation of mixtapes of other rappers, as well as helped beginners. The owners of ID Labs were so impressed by his diligence and quality of the songs that they provided the young man with as much free studio time as he needed.

Soon, Rostrum Records label noticed Wiz. The rapper signed a contract for 7 years with the president of the company, Benjy Greenberg. In 2005, Wiz Khalifa released the first mixtape «Prince Of The City: Welcome To Pistolvania».
Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa
On September 5, 2006, Khalifa's debut album «Show And Prove», recorded with the producer of The Resource, was released. Pittsburgh Sound was the main single. The album sold 10,000 copies. Rolling Stone Magazine noted the young musician, calling him a «musical seer».
Wiz Khalifa's debut album «Show And Prove» was released in 2006
In 2007, Wiz Khalifa signed a major label deal with Warner Bros. In January 2008, he released the single Say Yeah, which took 25th place on the Billboard chart. It is worth to say that such a result disappointed such a major label as Warner. They instantly lost interest in Khalifa and stopped investing in him.
Being unhappy with the delay in releasing his second album, in July 2009, Wise Khalifa terminated the contract with Warner and returned to Rostrum Records. A few days later he released «Grow Season» mixtape and in November 2009, the «Prince Of The City 2» mixtape.
Wiz Khalifa on the stage
On November 24, 2009, Wiz Khalifa released his second studio album «Deal or No Deal». The name of the album reflected the situation with Warner. Such producers as Johnny Giuliano and Monsta Bitu took part in the creation of the album. The album was promoted with the help of the single This Plane. In the first week, 5,900 copies were sold. The album sold a total of 167,000 copies.
On March 28, 2011, the third album called «Rolling Papers» was released. Once again, the name was «dedicated» to Warner Records label. As Wiz Khalifa himself explained in an interview:
»At the beginning of my career, I did not have money for cigarettes, and I constantly smoked the cigarettes I made from newspapers. And when I left Warner Bros, I kind of got «rolled papers». I really rolled up the contract and lit it».
The new CD was released by Atlantic Records label. Critics ranked the rapper's new work in the pop rap genre. The main singles of the album were Roll Up and Black And Yellow. The latter lead the American chart. Khalifa dedicated the song to his Dodge Challenger Hemi car, painted in black and yellow. They were the colors of the state of Pennsylvania, so the track also became an anthem for the home state. The song received two Grammy nominations. According to Wiz, he composed the track «in two seconds».
Wise Khalifa - Black And Yellow
Rolling Papers took the second place on the chart. In the first week 197,000 copies were sold; the total number of copies exceeded 2 million.
The rapper had the most notorious love affairs with a shocking actress and model Amber Rose. They began dating in the spring of 2011. Wiz Khalifa was a fan of Rose, he posted content about her on social networks.
Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose
Once he confessed in an interview that of all the girls on the Earth, he would only like to be together with Amber Rose. The actress paid attention to the musician, writing on her Twitter: «It was really nice». They began to keep up a correspondence, and this was the beginning of their beautiful romance.
On March 2, 2012, the rapper proposed to Amber Rose. They married on July 8, 2013, after the birth of the son, Sebastian Taylor Thomaz, born on February 22, 2013. Few people knew that this was the second child of the couple. Their first-born died without having been born in 2012; Amber had a miscarriage.

In an interview, Khalifa claimed that the family came first to him: «I know how to have fun, but I'm not unfaithful to my wife; it's wrong». He also said that he spent his mornings with the child and arranges everything else in such a way to combine career and family life.

Unfortunately, these statements were not true. On September 22, 2014, Khalifa and Rose divorced. The actress told reporters that the musician was constantly cheating on her. He, in turn, claimed that she had an affair with Mariah Carey ex-husband, Nick Cannon.
In the same year, the rapper went to jail. During the inspection at the Texas airport, drugs were found in his luggage. Wiz Khalifa was not particularly worried about what had happened, but carelessly posted selfies from the prison cell.
Wiz Khalifa had problems with the law due to drugs
Khalifa got involved with drugs in his school years. According to him, having become a celebrity, he spent several thousand dollars a month on cannabis.
In July 2015, Khalifa filed a lawsuit against his ex-wife to take away her custody right over their son. According to Khalifa, Rose was a bad mother: got stuck in parties, and at home she constantly kicked up a row with her mother and this made the baby nervous.
In 2016, he began an affair with model Isabella Guedes. Their relationship lasted two years.

In January 2016, Khalifa had a row with a rapper Kanye West. West named his album «Waves». Wiz accused him of stealing the name from rapper Max B, who was in prison at the time. In response, Kanye West said that Amber Rose was cheating on Khalif, and Sebastian Taylor Thomaz was his child. «You let her pull the wool over your eyes», he said. In response, Wiz Khalifa stated that Kanye West is gay and his marriage to Kim Kardashian is a fiction.
Wiz Khalifa became interested in rap music under the influence of performers such as Camp Lo and The Notorious B.I.G.
Wiz Khalifa with his son
The rapper always spent a lot of time on the Internet. At first he attended various forums, where, according to him, he «cursed and left bad comments». Then Khalifa discovered Twitter. He dramatically changed his behavior there. His daily message to subscribers was the phrase «a smile a day». Khalifa confessed that he wanted to give people positive feelings.
In May 2017, he began studying the Brazilian martial art of Jiu-Jitsu with the instructor Rigan Machado.

His fortune is estimated at $ 45 million. The rapper earned 32 million from concerts, 2.6 million from album sales, 11 million from advertising contracts and 15 million on YouTube.
Wiz Khalifa - See You Again
On September 18, 2018, the track Fr Fr from the Rolling Papers 2 album was released. In the video, Khalifa along with rapper Lil Skies arranged outrage in the supermarket, smoked weed, beat shop assistants and scattered goods.
