Q: Can you use HTML 5 to stream video 24/7 on a website? I've got a website and I've been looking for ways to embed a 24/7 webcast. I've looked at options such as Ustream and Justin.TV however, these do not work on mobile devices, which is what I really need.
I don't have that much knowledge on how streaming works but I've read that the streaming Engine Wowza is another option. I also found that HTML 5 player works cross platform and on any mobile device aswell.
If I were to use Wowza would it work with HTML 5 player? And am I even going in the right path with how I can do this. I also have a home dedicated server for streaming to a cloud wouldn't be required.
I'm very amateur just trying to broadcast my television program on my website for viewing. Any advice would help here. Thanks

A: Wowza can packetize video as http live streaming (HLS) which, although an Apple invention, works on most HTML5-capable browsers except IE11: http://www.jwplayer.com/html5/hls/ . Many players will fall back to using Flash for browsers which don't support native HLS or H.264 encoding. Flash uses http dynamic streaming (HDS) rather than HLS, so you would add that as another packetizer in wowza. (Wowza calls these packetizers "cupertinostreamingpacketizer" and "sanjosestreamingpacketizer" respectively.)
You would then point your preferred HTML5 video player (jwplayer, flowplayer, etc) at the URL http:// your-wowza-server.com:1935/live/yourstreamname/playlist.m3u8 [1]. For Flash fallback in flowplayer you can use the f4m resolver and the http-streaming plugin, as in the first example here, to access the subtly different URL http:// your-wowza-server.com:1935/live/yourstreamname/manifest.f4m. I'm sure something similar applies in players like jwplayer and others.
The main problem with Wowza is how much it costs: for your own server you're looking at around $55 per month per channel [2]. At least during testing, you may find it cheaper to get Wowza on Amazon EC2 devpay: $5/month rental plus an extra couple of cents per hour on your normal EC2 instance costs.
[1] Assuming you're using Wowza's default /live/ application on port 1935
[2] A channel is roughly the number of streams you're sending to the server to be re-broadcast

A: We developped a custom HTML5 player which we wanted to make compatible with HLS and fragmented mp4 for LIVE events. We started on Zencoder but realize they were not able to do genrate fragmented mp4.
I would like to explore the flash fallback solution and the wowza( probably on AWS)  for the packaging.
Would you be available  to consult on this project?

A: We use www.bitcodin.com for event-based or 24/7 live transcoding and streaming. It generates DASH - which can be playback natively in HTML5 using the bitdash MPEG-DASH players - as well as HLS for iOS devices. You can find an example here: http://www.dash-player.com/demo/live-streaming/

Three incidents in 72 hours shared one thing: hate.

It's terrible. And the legitimate press continues to ignore the glaring fact that trump is a walking Active Measure.
Yes, Robert. There are bullies whose intent is to embolden others to do their dirty work for them. There are suckers who sincerely believe if they do the crime, that they will get the support of those who think like them. Dylan Roof made that mistake.
In my opinion, the press is not familiar enough with the psychology that drives bullies. They put out videos such as the following.
Our President is a Russian active measure, he incites violence to suppress the vote.
Trump no doubt has a truck load of reasons why he incites violence. As with most people who have abusive personalities, they take pleasure in using divide and conquer and truly believe when others commit harm against those they dislike, that they influenced them. They love patting themselves on the back. And, as you have said regarding Russia, I will add that Trump gravitates towards dictators.
Right. It's frightening to see a narcissist abuse the power of the Presidency but even more frightening is watching those around him succumb to his m narcissism .
Sadly, I agree. I hope things don't become worst but there's always a sucker looking for fame by committing crimes.
Oh yes, there are plenty of them out there. How are you doing, my friend?
There are bad hours, and good minutes. Thanks so much for asking.
I think of you often. Focus on those good minutes, my friend.
Thanks so much Jill. Yesterday wasn't a good day and it looks like today wants to be its mirror image.
Notice how none of these individuals get charged with terrorism? Now if any of these people shouted Allahu Akbar during these attacks….. well you get the idea.
Absolutely. I know that Sayoc was charged federally, but wondered if the others have not been charged federally and that is the reason. I don't think that the states have laws against terrorism and it could required the feds to take over the case. Don't know, but it's an interesting subject.

Nearly half of American bald eagles suffer lead poisoning, according to study
Christina Larson
WASHINGTON — America's national bird is more beleaguered than previously believed, with nearly half of bald eagles tested across the U.S. showing signs of chronic lead exposure, according to a study published Thursday.
While the bald eagle population has rebounded from the brink of extinction since the U.S. banned the pesticide DDT in 1972, harmful levels of toxic lead were found in the bones of 46% of bald eagles sampled in 38 states from California to Florida, researchers reported in the journal Science.
Similar rates of lead exposure were found in golden eagles, which scientists say means the raptors likely consumed carrion or prey contaminated by lead from ammunition or fishing tackle.
The blood, bones, feathers and liver tissue of 1,210 eagles sampled from 2010 to 2018 were examined to assess chronic and acute lead exposure.
"This is the first time for any wildlife species that we've been able to evaluate lead exposure and population level consequences at a continental scale," said study co-author Todd Katzner, a wildlife biologist at U.S. Geological Survey in Boise, Idaho. "It's sort of stunning that nearly 50% of them are getting repeatedly exposed to lead."
Lead is a neurotoxin that even in low doses impairs an eagle's balance and stamina, reducing its ability to fly, hunt and reproduce. In high doses, lead causes seizures, breathing difficulty and death.
The study estimated that lead exposure reduced the annual population growth of bald eagles by 4% and golden eagles by 1%.
Bald eagles are one of America's most celebrated conservation success stories, and the birds were removed from the U.S. Endangered Species List in 2007.
But scientists say that high lead levels are still a concern. Besides suppressing eagle population growth, lead exposure reduces their resilience in facing future challenges, such as climate change or infectious diseases.
"When we talk about recovery, it's not really the end of the story — there are still threats to bald eagles," said Krysten Schuler, a wildlife disease ecologist at Cornell University's College of Veterinary Medicine, who was not involved in the study.
Previous studies have shown high lead exposure in specific regions, but not across the country. The blood samples from live eagles in the new study were taken from birds trapped and studied for other reasons; the bone, feather and liver samples came from eagles killed by collisions with vehicles or powerlines, or other misfortunes.
"Lead is present on the landscape and available to these birds more than we previously thought," said co-author Vince Slabe, a research wildlife biologist at the nonprofit Conservation Science Global. "A lead fragment the size of the end of a pin is large enough to cause mortality in an eagle. "
The researchers also found elevated levels of lead exposure in fall and winter, coinciding with hunting season in many states.
During these months, eagles scavenge on carcasses and gut piles left by hunters, which are often riddled with shards of lead shot or bullet fragments.
Slabe said the upshot of the research was not to disparage hunters. "Hunters are one of the best conservation groups in this country," he said, noting that fees and taxes paid by hunters help fund state wildlife agencies, and that he also hunted deer and elk in Montana.
However, Slabe said he hopes the findings provide an opportunity to "talk to hunters about this issue in a clear manner" and that more hunters will voluntarily switch to non-lead ammunition such as copper bullets.
Lead ammunition for waterfowl hunting was banned in 1991, due to concerns about contamination of waterways, and wildlife authorities encouraged the use of nontoxic steel shot. However, lead ammunition is still common for upland bird hunting and big game hunting.
The amount of lead exposure varies regionally, with highest levels found in the Central Flyway, the new study found.
At the University of Minnesota's Raptor Center, veterinarian and executive director Victoria Hall said that "85 to 90% of the eagles that come into our hospital have some level of lead in their blood," and X-rays often show fragments of lead bullets in their stomachs.
Eagles with relatively low levels can be treated, she said, but those with high exposure can't be saved.
Laura Hale, board president at nonprofit Badger Run Wildlife Rehab in Klamath County, Oregon, said she'll never forget the first eagle she encountered with acute lead poisoning, in 2018. She had answered a resident's call about an eagle that seemed immobile in underbrush and brought it to the clinic.
The young bald eagle was wrapped in a blanket, unable to breathe properly, let alone stand or fly.
"There is something hideous when you watch an eagle struggling to breathe because of lead poisoning – it's really, really harsh," she said, her voice shaking. That eagle went into convulsions, and died within 48 hours.
Lead on the landscape affects not only eagles, but also many other birds — including hawks, vultures, ravens, swans and geese, said Jennifer Cedarleaf, avian director at Alaska Raptor Center, a nonprofit wildlife rescue in Sitka, Alaska.
Because eagles are very sensitive to lead, are so well-studied and attract so much public interest, "bald eagles are like the canary in the coal mine," she said. "They are the species that tells us: We have a bit of problem."

Dancing with the Stars: Julianne Hough and Derek Hough in Perfect Shape for Season 23
By : Wendy Potter
Photo credit: @Parisa / Splash News
Dancing with the Stars (DWTS) Season 23 just got better thanks to the return of siblings Julianne Hough and Derek Hough.
Julianne will reportedly be a judge this season, and Derek, a pro dancer, has been partnered with actress Marilu Henner. Both Julianne and Derek are incredibly fit and healthy, and they have to be to perform the dance moves they do on DWTS.
Each season of the tremendously popular dance competition requires extreme dedication on the part of the dancers. Julianne was a pro dancer on the show for four seasons, and season 23 would mark her fourth season as a judge. The two are professional dancers and have been training in dance since they were young. Both Hough siblings took a hiatus last season.
ABC has not officially announced the judges for Season 23, but it is expected that last season's judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli, and Len Goodman will also return.
In season 4, her first year on the show, Julianne became the competition's youngest winner. Derek joined DWTS as a pro dancer in season 5 (he has never been a judge) and has appeared in nearly every season since (minus seasons 12 and 22). He has won the mirror ball trophy six times and has earned eight Emmy nominations for his contribution to choreography on the show. Julianne has won the trophy twice.
The Hough Siblings Workout Routine
Julianne Hough, 28, is on this month's cover of Shape magazine and looks fantastic. It's enough to give many people the right fitness motivation to achieve their own exercise goals.
It is her fourth cover for the women's fitness magazine. In her accompanying interview, she reveals that she likes to eat clean but enjoys a cheat day here and there, and she divulges how truly important working out is.
Physical fitness has always been a part of the dancer's life, since she has been training for so long now. She exercises three to six times a week.
On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, she does Tracy Anderson (a lot of celebs follow this trainer), Body by Simone, or she works out with her trainer, Astrid Swan.
On Tuesdays and Thursdays, she does CorePower Yoga and loves it. Saturdays, she likes to take really long hikes with her friends or take another yoga class. Sunday, she takes off to "reboot."
Good morning everyone. Here's a look into my vigorous workout dance routine. Enjoy snap chat: DerekHough I wanna see your moves .
A video posted by Derek Hough (@derekhough) on Aug 11, 2016 at 7:16am PDT
As for her brother, Derek has an equally intense workout routine that he shared with followers on Instagram about a month ago. He captioned the video by saying it was a snapshot into his vigorous dance workout routine, and he isn't kidding. That guy can move.
Apart from dance workouts, Derek lifts weights and does a lot of boxing to build stamina, strength, work on hand-eye coordination, and cardio.

Sample Amazon Feedback (click to expand)
Volume 1: Big Game:
"I have always been a fan of Steven Rinella's books. Rinella writes with honesty and is down to earth. He does not portray the elitist attitude of some professional hunters/writers. This is a good guide for anyone interested in getting into big-game hunting/cooking. It is also good for someone who has been hunting wild game and preparing it for years. The recipes are good in the instructions are very easy to follow."
"Steve is excellent at clear and concise writing that keeps you locked in and makes it hard to put the book down. I read through this book in 3 days and just started reading it again. Highly recommend this book for anyone wanting to learn all aspects of hunting from beginner to seasoned hunter. Even someone who doesn't ever plan to hunt can benefit from this book..."
"This is an amazing guide to big game hunting whether you are a seasoned veteran or the new guy/gal in the woods. This book provides a ton of information along with detailed pictures describing what is being discussed. It gave me some new ideas of things to try both in hunting strategies as well as recommendations on upgrading some gear, even for inquiring about private property hunting opportunities. The book covers all gear that would be needed for different styles of hunting, game profiles and strategies for hunting particular types of game, multiple field dressing techniques, insights from other hunting professionals, and even a few tips on how to butcher and prepare the meat once you get it home. I would highly recommend this book for ANYONE who is interested in hunting big game."
"Looking for a comprehensive book about hunting that covers everything from preparing for a hunt to butchering your own trophy? Then I'd recommend you buy a copy of Steven Rinella's new book The Complete Guide. I've enjoyed reading Rinella's work over the years, so it was no surprise to me that the book is well written. What did surprise me is that it's nearly 400 pages of excellent tips and techniques to turn the beginning hunter into a well-prepared outdoorsman. If you're new to hunting, Rinella breaks down the basics of gear, scouting, and tactics. He not only covers rifle hunting, but also gets into the basics of archery as well. His advice is quite sound and he pulls from other hunters to strengthen the wealth of knowledge contained inside the covers. For more seasoned hunters, there is a whole chapter dedicated to the vast amount of North American big game species that the author has hunted over his life..."
Volume 2: Small Game:
"Rinella is my idol. He is the poet laureate of outdoorsmen. He and his posse are the real deal. His authoritative book is laced with tips which can benefit beginners and pros alike. I've never seen a better collection of hunting advice in a single volume. It might be considered the seminal text in the newly founded field of huntology (a field of study combining hunting, science, philosophy, and religion pioneered by The Reverend Steve and The Gang)."
"The most comprehensive small game book to date. Steven Rinella is the single best hunting and cooking author in the game. There are other writers who cover one topic extremely well (countless books exist about hunting, and many new wild-game recipe books are emerging, like those from the excellent Hank Shaw), but no book covers the entire experience - from equipment selection, to finding land, stalking your prey, and preparing it at home - as well as this one. This is an enjoyable read, a must-have for every hunter, and a boon to anyone who wants to prepare wild game with the respect that it deserves. I have 27 years of bird and rabbit hunting under my boots, yet I still learned a great deal from this series. This book is Volume 2, a companion to his first book, Hunting, Butchering, and Cooking: Volume 1 Big Game (which is also excellent). My hat is off to Mr. Rinella for such an ambitious and well done book. If you hunt small game, or would like to, this book is for you."
"This book is just one of two must haves for the hunter or outdoorsman.The guide that has all the big game in it is one of my all time favorites. Steven has written this book in an easy to understand yet still moderately sophisticated fashion. Some of the recipes are mouth watering and that's just reading about how to prepare them. I am happy with my purchase and there needs to be more books like this. Great reading and lots of information! I've had this book for a few weeks now and I look at a section of it almost daily. Outstanding book!"
"Especially for new hunters the value of this book can not be overstated. The animal sections will help you understand small game behavior and identify various species to stay out of trouble. The recipes are great and the gear discussion is top notch. Different perspectives are presented and the author goes out of his way to point out and explain his own bias rather than just presenting his opinions as fact."

How to Create Knockdown Texture Without a Gun
Christopher John has been a freelance journalist since 2003. He has written for regional newspapers such as "The Metro Forum" and the "West Tennessee Examiner." John has a Bachelor of Arts in journalism from Memphis State University.
Knockdown texture on ceilings or walls dramatically alters the overall look of a room, and also effectively covers up any surface defects on the ceiling or walls. It resembles a patchy or "stomped" pattern. Although this style of texture is usually applied using a hopper and spray gun, you can install it by hand and avoid the hassle of adjusting the spray gun to get the look you want with the texture. Be aware that applying the texture by hand takes more time to complete.
All-purpose joint compound
Crows foot texture brush
Knockdown knife
Add one to two cups of water to a bucket of joint compound.
Install a paddle on an electric drill. A paddle is an attachment used to mix the compound. Hold the drill and insert the paddle into the bucket of compound, and squeeze the drill's trigger to mix the compound. Add more water, if necessary, to get the compound to the texture of a thick milkshake.
Hold a crows foot texture brush by the handle, and dip the brush into the compound. Position the brush at a 90-degree angle to the wall or ceiling surface, and dab the brush onto the surface so that it forms peaks with the compound. Continue this across the surface. Wipe the brush off when compound accumulates on it.
Hold a knockdown knife at a 45-degree angle to the surface and glide it over the compound, after about 20 to 30 minutes. Knock down the high spots across the texture surface with the knockdown knife, as if you were knocking the tips off of icicles, and smooth out the surface to a degree. If you are applying the knockdown texture to a large area, dab with the crows foot brush for 20 to 30 minutes in one section, and follow behind with the knockdown knife before applying the compound to the next section.
Place a step ladder in front of the surface, to help you reach high areas. Stand on the ladder, and glide the knockdown knife from the ceiling to halfway down the wall, if you are applying the texture to a wall. Move to the bottom of the wall, and glide the knockdown knife from the bottom, up the remaining half of the wall.
Move to the next section, using the crows foot brush and following behind it with the knockdown knife after 20 to 30 minutes until you complete the entire surface.

The Visitor Center at Apple's new Apple Park campus will open to the public on Friday, November 17, according to an internal email that Apple sent out to employees today.
The date is also listed on a sign at Apple Park that was shared today on Twitter, but the sign does not offer up a specific time for the event.
Prior to the November 17 grand opening, Apple is inviting Cupertino residents who live near the Apple Park campus to preview the Visitor Center on Thursday, November 16. Residents can visit Apple Park from 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., with a photo ID confirming a nearby address required for entry.
The Apple Park Visitor Center features a rooftop observation deck that overlooks the main ring-shaped building on the campus, along with a cafe, an outdoor seating area, and indoor wooden tables.
The Apple Park Visitor Center features... indoor wooden tables.
I'm on the next flight to Cupertino.
I want to see what I paid for!
What factory? And you do realize that high tech companies often hire top chefs and assistance and have some rather large and varied menus (often for free too, for their employees that is).
That was my photo! Was there today and there was a private event on for the marketing department. All retail staff were there, all caffe macs staff were there and security. The store had iPhones and iPads on the tables like all other apple stores. I asked if I could buy a Tshirt but they wouldn't allow me.
I'm hoping to visit next year spring. Whats the possibility of getting near the main campus itself? Could you get an employee to badge you in? I want to visit the old Infinite Loop campus while I'm there too.


United States and the European Union "are using the same recipe that the IMF applied on Argentina" to address the current global financial crisis and this only leads to "stagnation" said Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz attending a gathering of Nobel Prize recipients and young economists in Lindau, Germany.
"The best way to address the debt problem in the central economies is not with savings but with more spending; austerity travels in the opposite direction; it's the wrong approach, the same recipe that IMF applied on Argentina" in the late nineties which ended with the 2001/02 default.
Stiglitz said it is quite clear what happens: "the economy slows down, then comes recession and finally it all end in depression. Without growth it is not possible to climb out of the crisis. The more time political decisions take, greater will be instability and costs", emphasized the Nobel laureate.
"The only people benefiting from the delay are speculators -- the very people who European politicians tend to blame for their problems. Europe is providing the framework for the volatility off which they live" Stiglitz said.
Meanwhile "Argentina now ranks among the worlds' fastest growing economies, thanks to the global boom in commodities. There is a bit of luck in that, and the pain the country suffered after the collapse of the peso at the beginning of the last decade shouldn't be forgotten" said Stiglitz, but "ask yourself how strong Argentina would be now if its debt crisis had been better managed in the nineties".
However he also pointed out that emerging economies "must diversify their productive structure and strengthen domestic demand", to defend themselves from central countries' crises.
Stiglitz praised Argentina for the right things it has been doing in recent years to guarantee strong sustained growth at high rates.
"Countries such as Argentina, Brazil and China displayed good macroeconomic policies; they understood the importance of a well designed Keynes stimulus to prop the economy and ensure that unemployment does not balloon".
As to the future Stiglitz said that "if recession worsens in the US and the EU, emerging economies will have difficulties; I think they will be able to absorb a drop in exports but it is essential for them to strengthen domestic demand".
"Even when a drop in Chinese growth would press commodities prices down, and that would affect Argentina and Brazil, I believe that China will be able to overcome the crisis and sustain demand for products such as grains, oilseeds, minerals", added the Nobel laureate.
More specifically regarding Germany Stiglitz again criticized the austerity strategies telling German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung on Sunday that Germany should spend more to help boost the European Union's economy.
"Of course it will cost money to preserve [the Euro]. But it will cost even more money if it falls apart," he said, adding that a German currency would rise in value, "making business more difficult for German industry" and trade.
Stiglitz said the decision by the European Central Bank to buy sovereign debt of Euro zone countries was "not bad," but challenged overall European financial regulations.
"Stupidly, European laws aren't flexible enough. Consequently, you can interpret them relatively broadly. And when you see how complicated the political process is and how little time remains to make decisions, that's totally feasible", he concluded.
Categories: Economy, Investments, Politics, Argentina, Mercosur, United States.
Needless to say, I agree with Mr. Stiglitz perception of economic realities.
Or is it him agreeing with my perception of economic realities?
@2. the answer is either using reserves or borrowing. The problem with borrowing is that some organisations (such as the IMF), tend to lend with the condition that spending is reduced. that is what this gentleman is questioning.

Charter, also called air taxi or ad-hoc flights require certification from the associated country's regulating body such as the FAA in the U.S. The regulations are differentiated from typical commercial/passenger service by offering a non-scheduled service. In the U.S. these flights are regulated under FAA Part 135[1]. There are some cases where a charter operator can sell scheduled flights, but only in limited quantities[2].
From start to finish, our experience with Stratos was totally professional, made very simple and the ultimate in how charter travel should be booked/enjoyed! We know it takes an entire team behind the scenes but all credit to Joel for his 'personal' touch and for making our return trip to New York a very memorable one indeed!!! We have used several charter companies worldwide over the years but Joel and his team beat them all!!!

Like scheduled airline service, private jets also have weight limits with regard to the amount of luggage that can be stowed during a trip. Items such as skis and golf clubs are allowed as long as they conform to the dimensions and weight limits of the aircraft. These weight limits vary by aircraft type. Ask your charter sales representative if you have concerns about excess baggage or special items to be included in your luggage.

I was thouroughly impressed with the professionalism of the Broker Joel, the flight organizer Sarah and the crew on both legs. The aircraft was clean, in good shape and right on time. The crew was friendly and professional to me and my guests. Two small issues were getting a tail number on less than 12 hours that made getting our rental cars more complex than necessary and more significant was being notified by our bank that you tried to bill my flight a couple times when I paid in full prior to first leg. All in all I would use them again but would encourage one contact who checks in daily a few days prior to flight rather than me having try to figure out who to call when it looked like a couple problems were coming up.
For those who don't mind mingling with strangers, companies like Tradewind offer shuttles between places like New York and Boston, Stowe, and Nantucket, as well as Caribbean Islands like St. Barth's and Anguilla. (Flights begin at $250 plus tax each way.) The bonus? On a route from from San Juan to St. Barth's, a Tradewind rep will meet you at your terminal and help shuttle you through. JetSuiteX, affiliated with JetBlue, sells seats on planes between Burbank and Las Vegas.
Depending on who you believe 30-to-50% of all private jet flights are ferry flights. However, that doesn't mean they are necessarily dirt cheap. Magellan Jets, which sells jet cards and on-demand charter also offers empty legs, and while you have to contact the company for pricing, it says rates start at $3,000 per hour. Airstream Jets enables visitors to its website to download a list of active empty legs and while most of the 13 listings were for the next two weeks, there were flights posted through mid-November, one an empty leg in September on a Gulfstream G-IVSP from New York to London for $49,900. Another broker quoted the same date and route at $92,000. Even more attractive was a G500 charter this weekend from Palermo, Italy to New York for $35,000. Quotes for a non-empty leg charter that I received from another broker for random dates in August started at $111,000.
Chances are you've considered various options and business models for flying privately. The table below will show you how the LunaJets on-demand charter programme compares to options like jet card and fractional jet ownership programmes. For private jet flyers who need flexibility, both in their schedule and financially, on-demand charter is the best option.
All good. I would like info on best, fastest way to charter jet for my next trip to India. I'm not wealthy, & run a small business. My work is only to benefit impoverished people internationally. My website is www.lesindiennes.com.I must travel regularly to India yearly for my business.I wonder if your company alo cares about these people? Is it possible to use your services for this business travel? Can you advise me to a NY company that is more suitable to my needs. I answered your questionnaire. I look forward to your advice, & to learn how much your co. Is concerned with the plight of these people's? Best Mary
Service was incredible. Joel and Stratos was fantastic. Had a delayed special occasion and they went out of their way to make everything perfect. It was a surprise trip and could not have been easier to work with and very helpful in getting all arrangements made for in-flight. Beyond a 5 star. Thank you all for making a special trip a truly MEMORABLE one for us!!!


Coney Island's Opening Day ceremonies have been rescheduled for Saturday, March 26th, due to snow forecast for Palm Sunday. The parks will also be open March 25th, Good Friday, and March 27th, Easter Sunday.
In prep for Coney Island's opening day on March 20th, the Wonder Wheel's 24 cars were put back on the landmark ride on Friday. As we've noted in past years, the annual ritual is regarded as the first sign of spring in Coney Island. Being there to see the cars go up, the swinging blue and red ones first and then the stationary white, is like seeing crocuses bloom before your eyes.
This year, videographer Jim McDonnell recorded a wonderful up-close, behind-the-scenes look at the Vourderis family and their longtime crew returning the freshly painted and refurbished cars to the Wheel after the ride's winter rest. At the 46 second mark, look for Wonder dog Ringo, park co-owner Steve Vourderis's pet, cutely supervising. Ringo enjoys riding the Wheel and is no doubt anticipating his first ride of the season. So are we!
Deno's Wonder Wheel and the rest of Coney Island's rides will go for their first spin of the 2016 season on Palm Sunday, which also happens to be the first day of spring this year, and is just eight days away. The 31st annual Blessing of the Rides at Wonder Wheel Park starts at 11:00am. After the ceremony, there will be free rides for 300 children from the local Salt and Sea Mission, and free rides on Deno's Wonder Wheel for the first 96 people on line in celebration of the 1920 Wheel's 96th year.


According to the the U.S. Department of Transportation, one in every 10 deaths in highway accidents involves a tractor trailer. In 2012, more than 3,000 people died in tractor trailer accidents, more than half of whom were occupants of cars or other passenger vehicles. In the winter season, cold weather often contributes to tractor trailer accidents. Considering that a an 18-wheeler truck often weighs 20-30 times more than the average passenger vehicle, braking is far more difficult in icy or rainy weather. If a driver is fatigued, is inattentive, or the brakes have not been adequately maintained, the potential for accidents increases exponentially.
In Johnston County, North Carolina, an accident involving a tractor trailer and a school bus recently sent seven students to the hospital. Though the investigation is ongoing, according to Triangle-based WTVD, driver error in foggy conditions is thought to have contributed to the accident.
If you've been injured as the result of a tractor trailer accident, or have lost a loved one, you should know you have options. You are entitled to compensation if you have been injured as a result of a tractor trailer accident caused by the negligence of the truck driver or the negligence of the trucking company. The 18-wheeler accident attorneys at Ward Black Law in Greensboro, N.C., can help.
Our tractor trailer accident attorneys have decades of experience in helping victims of semi truck accidents file lawsuits and be compensated for their injuries, medical expenses, lost wages and pain or suffering resulting from driver error or equipment failure..
Any tractor trailer accident analysis begins with proving that the tractor trailer driver was at fault. The expert counsel at Ward Black Law will investigate the collision itself and will often hire accident reconstruction experts to evaluate how the accident occurred. If the tractor trailer driver was at fault, you are entitled to to compensation. What your case is worth depends on the extent of your injuries, your medical expenses, your lost wages and your pain and suffering. The attorneys at Ward Black Law will work hard to ensure that you receive the maximum amount for your tractor trailer case.
In the meantime, hiring expert counsel is advised.
Every tractor trailer accident involving an interstate motor carrier is governed by complex federal laws. In addition, North Carolina state laws also apply. Every tractor trailer accident is different and requires an analysis of how the accident happened, what law applies, and who was at fault. No two cases are the same.
Working through a tractor trailer accident lawsuit can be a long and stressful process. The sooner you obtain a semi truck accident attorney the better.
Once you're a Ward Black Law client, we'll help you fight the powerful trucking companies. From a free consultation to our expert representation, you should know you're not alone.

Dakota war eine US-amerikanische Automarke.

Markengeschichte
Die Brüder Alexander und John More betrieben seit Mitte der 1890er Jahre ein Handelsgeschäft in Wimbledon in North Dakota. Sie verkauften landwirtschaftliche Geräte für Landwirte. 1904 kam der Verkauf von  Automobilen von Continental, Demot, Lambert, National, Richmond, Westcott und White dazu. 1910 kam es zu einer Zusammenarbeit mit der De Tamble Motor Company. Eine Quelle gibt an, dass die Brüder die Produktion eines Modells von De Tamble übernahmen. Der Markenname lautete Dakota. Im Februar des gleichen Jahres wurde ein Fahrzeug auf der ersten Automobilausstellung in North Dakota präsentiert. Im September 1910 endete die Vermarktung.

Insgesamt entstanden 25 Fahrzeuge. In North Dakota wurden davon sieben Fahrzeuge zugelassen. Eine Quelle gibt an, dass damals nicht jeder Käufer sein Fahrzeug auch ordnungsgemäß zugelassen hat.

Fahrzeuge
Das einzige Modell entsprach weitgehend dem De Tamble Modell B. Anstelle der Luftreifen in 30 Zoll Größe hatten die Fahrzeuge Vollgummireifen in 36 Zoll Größe. Vollgummireifen sollten haltbarer sein. Ein Zweizylindermotor trieb die Fahrzeuge an. Der Neupreis lag mit 675 US-Dollar um 25 Dollar über dem Preis des Originals.

Zum Vergleich: Ein Ford Modell T kostete in dem Jahr in der billigsten Ausführung 650 Dollar.

Beaufort Oglethorpe "Bo" Buchanan is a fictional character from the American soap opera One Life to Live.

Casting and awards
Robert S. Woods created the character of Bo in November 1979. Woods originally screen tested for the recast of Richard Abbott,  cousin of central heroine Victoria "Viki" Lord Riley (Erika Slezak). He was offered the newly created part of Bo instead by then-executive producer Joseph Stuart; after accepting, Woods telephoned Dallas star and personal friend Steve Kanaly to inform him that he would be playing the "Ray Krebbs of daytime." Woods went on to play Bo from the character's inception through 1986, and returned in 1988 to play him through the series finale on January 13, 2012. Woods reprised the role when new regular episodes of OLTL debuted on Hulu, iTunes, and FX Canada via The Online Network April 29, 2013.

A 2008 time travel storyline transplants Bo and Rex Balsom (John-Paul Lavoisier) back to 1968, where Woods portrays his character's father Asa Buchanan, and Lavoisier plays a young Bo from July 21 through August 26, 2008. As Bo and Rex return to the present, Woods' real-life son Tanner plays young Bo on August 26, 2008 as he departs to serve in the Vietnam War.

Woods won a Daytime Emmy Award for Lead Actor for the role in 1983, also earning nominations in 1986, 1993, 1994, 1999, 2000, and 2012, multiple Soap Opera Digest Award nominations, and four MVP trophies from Soap Opera Update.

Storylines

Lost love and business
Vietnam War-veteran Bo arrives in the fictional city of Llanview, Pennsylvania, in November 1979, following his brother Clint (Clint Ritchie) from their native Texas. Clint had secured the chief editing position at Llanview's flagship newspaper, The Banner, replacing the ailing husband and editor for Banner publisher Victoria Lord Riley (Erika Slezak), Joe Riley (Lee Patterson).

Somewhat unlucky in love, over the years Bo suffers many breakups, including the deaths of two wives (Didi O'Neill in 1988 and Sarah Gordon in 1992) and a fiancée (Gabrielle Medina in 2004). He pursues many occupations, such as becoming a music record executive and a film and television producer. In the late 1980s, Bo produces a Llanview-based opera, Fraternity Row, which in 2008 is revealed to have given a fictionalized version of rapper Snoop Dogg his break in show business, cementing a lifelong friendship between them. In 1995, Bo becomes Llanview's police commissioner.

Nora and family
Bo meets attorney Nora Hanen Gannon (Hillary B. Smith) in October 1992; that Thanksgiving, he and wife Sarah Gordon (Jensen Buchanan) are involved in a hit and run accident and Sarah is killed. Over the next several months Nora and Bo work side by side trying to track down the killer. The case is finally closed and the two become best friends; their relationship slowly grows into romance after a kiss on New Year's Eve. The couple's first date is at Serenity Springs and is soon followed by a slew of junk food eating and jitterbug dates. Bo and Nora first have sex in April 1993 and express their love in May 1993. However, Nora's chronic headaches worsen, leading her to believe that she is the one who caused the accident leading to Sarah's death. Bo soon proves this to be false and proposes marriage. Nora is diagnosed with a brain tumor but recovers. Bo and Nora marry on June 1, 1995, at St. James Church. The ceremony is officiated by Reverend Andrew Carpenter (Wortham Krimmer), Rabbi Heller, and rock and roll singer Little Richard.

Bo is devastated when his son Drew Buchanan, a police officer, is killed in the line of duty on September 16, 1998. Nora hopes to conceive a child to give her husband a reason to live; out of desperation she turns to former lover Sam Rappaport (Kale Browne). The pregnancy pulls Bo back onto his feet, but he and Nora later divorce in 1999 when it is revealed that Nora's son Matthew had apparently been fathered by Sam. It is not until Sam's death in 2003 that the truth comes out about how Matthew (Eddie Alderson) is Bo's son, Sam had been aware of it, and that he kept the secret.

In July 2008, Bo and young Rex Balsom (John-Paul Lavoisier) travel back in time to 1968; Bo finds himself reliving his past as his own father Asa Buchanan, while Rex is Bo. They both ultimately return as history writes itself with one exception: Rex (as Bo) sleeps with Asa's ex-mistress Emma Bradley. This proves significant in February 2009 when a paternity test determines that David Vickers (Tuc Watkins) — whom a previous DNA test had supposedly established is Asa's son by Emma — is actually's Bo's son.

In 2009, Nora and Clint (Jerry verDorn, onward) begin a relationship. Bo and Nora spend more time together when Matthew is in an accident and becomes paralyzed; soon Clint senses that Bo and Nora still harbor feelings for each other. Nora accepts Clint's proposal, but she kisses Bo the night before her wedding to Clint. Nora loves Clint and goes through with the wedding to Clint, but she becomes further wrapped up with Bo when Matthew sues his parents for the right to have a dangerous surgery that may help him walk again. Bo and Nora finally confess their love for each other and have an affair. When Clint finds out, he furiously throws Nora out and demands a divorce, blackmailing her into signing over the Buchanan mansion, which Asa had left to her in his will.

In April 2010, Bo is shot by Schuyler Joplin (Scott Clifton) but survives, soon asking Nora to marry him on April 9, 2010. In June 2010, after a decade apart, Bo and Nora remarry in a ceremony officiated by David.

On finale episode, first-run January 13, 2012, Bo became a grandfather to Drew Buchanan II, via Matthew.

In October 2012, on General Hospital, Téa Delgado's baby is stolen by Heather Webber. Anna Devane mentions that Bo is still the Police Commissioner in Llanview and John McBain notes that he is doing everything he can to help apprehend Heather. After Heather is apprehended, Téa learns that her child is actually the child of Sam McCall, and that Todd Manning switched her child with Sam's. Distraught, Téa returns to Llanview.

Q: What are the advantages of initializing a view-controller from Main.storyboard using storyboard-ID? I have seen many examples where a view-controller is initialized using its storyboard-ID in Main.storyboard:
UIPageViewController *myPageViewController = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"PageViewControllerID"];

Are there any particular advantages of doing it like this instead of just doing the old alloc-init?

A: If you choose to use a storyboard then you either request the initial view controller (or allow the system to do it), request the view controller by identifier or trigger a segue. The advantage of requesting by identifier is that you can do whatever you want with the controller. Segues are much more powerful than they used to be and basically everything can now be done directly, but there could be some conditional logic you'd rather run (which could trigger a number of segues...).
You don't need to use a storyboard though. If you want you can create everything in code or you can continue to use NIB files. Storyboards help when you're using auto-layout and want to take advantage of the layout guides. 99% of the time using a storyboard will save you time over using just code and perhaps 50% of the time over using a NIB.

Apache Tomcat 7 is a popular server for running Java applications – but say you have a unique instance where you want to run both PHP and Java applications on Tomcat but don't want to run two separate servers (i.e. Apache HTTPD + Tomcat) to achieve it?
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS METHOD DOES NOT WORK ON TOMCAT 8 AS OF THE DATE OF WRITING.
For this we're going to use the PHP – Java Bridge for Tomcat, which is a handy little package that will sort out PHP execution on top of Tomcat.
The first step is to download the Javabridge template from this link at SourceForge. This will give you a WAR file that you can directly drop in to your Tomcat server's webapps folder.
For Linux users, just install php5 using apt-get, yum, or your preferred package management tool.
Next step is to add PHP to the PATH variable. Append the path to your PHP folder to the end of your respective PATH variable.
Next, drop the JavaBridgeTemplate61.war file in to your Tomcat server's webapps folder and start Tomcat.
Now you can deploy any PHP application within the JavaBridgeTemplate folder and rename the folder to whatever you want. You can add many folders like this for different PHP applications.
Note that the JavaBridge runs PHP as CGI. If you want to enable/disable specific PHP extensions you can simply enable them as you would do normally on your php.ini file.

Tiger I & II: The most feared tanks of WW2
The Germans have earned a lot of respect over the decades for their tank designs which are still considered as one of the best in service if not the best. This reputation was built during the second world war when the feared Panzers (which means armour in German) alongside mechanised infantry took over vast swathes of Europe within a relatively short span of time. The Germans built a couple of tanks which would became the symbol of its tank industry during the war and decades after it. They are so well known, that almost every analyst and enthusiast knows about it and its capabilities. This article will deal with the Tiger tank, one of the most capable and feared tanks ever designed.
Starting from 1940, a trend was observed in weapons designed by Germany. They were designed to be bigger and more powerful while not being as practical. The concept of heavy tank wasn't new as both allied and axis powers had thought about them but chose not to develop them as transportation would have been a painstaking process. The German industry had developed some concepts to gain experience so that they could be ready for an eventual requirement. One such concept was developed by Henschel, it was a 71 ton design which could be broken down and transported in 3 different loads.
The requirement for a new tank started off as a heavy tank with a small gun which was latter changed to a not so well armoured tank with a heavy gun. This program started under the designation VK 4501 (VK stands for Test Vehicle) also called as the Tiger program. It was supposed to be a 49 ton tank armed with the deadly 8.8cm Kwk 36 (Kwk is short for Kampfwagenkanone which indirectly means tank gun and the number after it mentions the year of development) L56 (L56 means that the barrel was 56 calibres long i.e. 56 times the bore diameter) anti-tank gun. Krupp was supposed to design a common turret for the prototypes while Porsche and Henschel were supposed to design the chassis. Both of the design bureaus utilised concepts developed for earlier programs like VK 3001, VK 3601 etc for VK 4501. Their respective prototypes were designated as VK 4501 (H) for Henschel and VK 4501 (P) for Porsche. The design phase began in May 1941 with the face off scheduled for summer 1942.
Panzer IV was the mainstay tank of the German armies during WW2
By mid 1941, German troops had faced the T-34 and KV-1 in the battle field and had come to a conclusion that their existing armour and anti-armour weapons were no match for them. The 3.7 cm Kwk 37 L24 and the 5.0 cm Kwk 38/39 mounted on Panzer 3s couldn't penetrate the sloped armour of a T-34 from a comfortable range while the later's 76.2mm could easily take out the German Panzers. Thus the weight requirement for VK 4501 was increased to approximately 60 tons by adding armour. The design bureaus were specifically asked to design a tank which could beat all allied tanks comprehensively.
T-34 proved its mettle in the battle field starting from Operation Barbarossa.
Both the prototypes were presented to Hitler on his birthday ie 20th April 1942 and by July they were being extensively tested at a tank school in Berka, Germany. Porsche's design was light years ahead of its era but was bogged down with problems. It utilised diesel-electric drive where 2×320 hp engines powered alternators which powered the motors driving the tracks. The engines were problematic and the power output wasn't enough for the tank which had to be often rescued from soft ground by recovery vehicles. The power train was maintenance intensive and the alternators used copper which was an essential war commodity. It had 6 road wheels per side and an idler at the front end with no return rollers. The tracks were powered by sprockets at the rear end of the tank. It was longer than the Henschel's design which reduced its manoeuvrability while the front placed turret made operations in enclosed areas dangerous. Over all, Porsche's design was a failure and its ultra-modern propulsion system was one of the prime reasons behind it.
VK4501 (P)
Henschel had initially thought of producing two prototypes, one had Krupp's turret housing the 8.8cm gun while the second sported an inhouse design housing the 7.5cm Kwk 42 L70 gun which was later used on the Panther tank. They eventually dropped the second and went ahead with the first. It was powered by a 650hp petrol engine which made it under-powered. Drive-train had a powered sprocket at the front and a rear idler with interleaved road wheels making sure that the track was firmly on the ground. The tank had 8 axles a side with 3 wheels per axle per side thus a total of 48 road wheels. It had a very complex gear-box which provided 8 speed settings designed specifically to cope up with its massive weight and was a departure from standard clutch and brake which were present only as backups. The gear box while being compact made the tank light on the controls which is one feature its drivers loved but the complexity made it difficult to maintain and produce. Both the tanks however sported 2xMG34 7.92mm machines guns, one co-axial and one in the hull.
VK 4501 (H)
Over all, the Henschel design won and was selected for production. Porsche was overly positive about its design and had produced 100 chassis and 5 completed tanks designated as Tiger P after getting a contract thanks to Prof Porsche's connections with Hitler. These hulls were later used for Elefant tank destroyer. A total of 1400 Tiger Is were built based on the Henschel design in Kassel, Germany.
Tiger Is were rushed into combat to counter the very potent T-34. Its combat debut however was dismal as the first 4 tanks sent to Leningrad in August 1942 and all 4 were knocked out, however 3 of them were recovered and repaired. The Germans steadily trained crew and developed tactics which inturn wreaked havoc on Soviet tank formations during Operation Barbarossa and British and American tanks in Northern Africa. Most of the allied weapons except the biggest ones couldn't penetrate its frontal armour, which was 100mm thick rolled homogeneous nickel steel on turret and hull. Tiger Is fired 2 basic rounds PzGr. 39 which penetrated the target with its kinetic energy and exploded inside it while PzGr. 40 was a pure kinetic energy round. The later had higher penetrating power but lacked lethality and range of the former. It is said that Tigers usually started taking their targets out at over 1km thanks to the very accurate 8.8 cm gun. The round would usually penetrate the frontal armour of the tank and exit from the back after taking out the engine and causing massive internal damage.
A couple of Tigers looking for targets as a BT-7 with its hatches open is seen to their right and a probable T-34 is seen to their left.
Armour estimations of Tiger I
There are stories of a well hidden Tiger I taking out 12 T-34s without being spotted or fired at. Another confirmed incident occurred just after D-Day when a single company of Tigers destroyed 4 Sherman Firefly, 20 Cromwell, 3 Stuart, 3 M4 Sherman, 14 half-tracks, 16 Bren Carriers and 2×6 pounder anti-tank guns. This was possible due to the impressive load out of 92 shells which could be increased to 120 with modifications. They were successfully used in all theatres Germans fought in causing widespread Tigerphobia. The phobia was only aggravated by the performance of rounds it fired. It is said that T-34s withdrew from an area on mere suspicion that there was a Tiger around them. A Tiger would usually take out several tanks before being knocked out and mass attacks from the sides were the only way to take them out.
Here is an early production Tiger I with rubber rimmed wheels.
Since the tank was rushed into service, several modifications were made to it. One of the biggest modifications was new steel rimmed wheels replacing the rubber rimmed ones which allowed the Germans to reduce the number of wheels to 2 per axle. A new 700hp engine replaced the original engine to improve the mobility of the tank. The turret also received several modifications over time. By Feb 1943, the British had obtained a Tiger I and exhaustive tests showed its excellent combination of armour and gun. The tests also exposed the problems like complex gear box which was prone to failure if not maintained properly along with the lower rate of fire of the main gun.
Late production Tiger I with steel rimmed wheels.
German records suggest, it took 300,000 man hours to build a Tiger tank costing around $1 million in today's currency while a Sherman costed less than half that value. It required heavy maintenance to keep it in running condition. Recovering a damaged or non-functional tank was very difficult to its sheer size. The interleaved wheels had its advantages and disadvantages. While protecting the hull from shells, they tend to jam in soft or icy conditions of the eastern front.
The picture shows the older rubber-rimmed interleaved wheels of a Tiger I.
In the later stages of the war, inexperienced Tiger crews coupled with excellent allied air cover and advanced HVAP (High Velocity Armour Piercing) rounds fired from 76mm guns on Shermans aimed using superior sights evened the odds for Shermans going against the Tiger. German crews started adopting static defensive tactics to reduce running time of the drive train in turn reducing breakdowns and petrol consumption.
Even before the Tiger I had made its combat debut, a requirement for its eventual replacement was put up and preliminary work was started. Combat debuts of T-34/85, IS-2, Su-152 and Su-85 meant that Tiger I was no longer the king of the battlefield and hence a new king was needed which arrived in the form of King Tiger (also called Tiger II or Royal Tiger). Porsche and Henschel were ordered to develop a heavier tank with better armour and armament to replace the Tiger I. Porsche presented two designs based on its VK 4501 (P) with designation VK 4502 (P). One design had an aft mounted turret and engine in the centre ala Merkava while the other had a centrally mounted turret. It sported the same diesel electric drive like its predecessor and was rejected. Porsche had already ordered first 50 turrets from Krupp based on its design thinking that they would bag the order.
Henschel on the other hand went ahead with a design which looked very similar to the Panther as it sported sloped armour and shared many components like the engine and suspension. Its running gear consisted of 9 axles a side with 2 wheels on each axle thus a total of 36 road wheels. The wheels overlapped but weren't interleaved thus reducing complexity. It had the same 700hp engine seen on late Tiger Is and Panthers. Overall, Henschel's design designated VK 4503 (H) was very different from the Tiger I but the added weight of armour made it under powered.

Both of the designs were supposed to be armed with a longer variant of the gun on Tiger I, thus Tiger II had an 8.8cm Kwk 43 L71 gun instead of L56. As stated above, Henschel got the contract by the end of 1943 and started churning out its design. First 50 tanks utilised the Porsche turret which was replaced with a Henschel design as the former's curve on the front face made it a shot trap by deflecting shots onto the driver's hatch. Around 500 of these were built before the end of the war. A new turret rotating mechanism allowed the turret to turn quicker than that of Tiger I a known weakness used by allied crews to take it out.
Tiger IIs saw combat in both eastern and western sectors starting from 1944. There is reportedly no record of its frontal armour which was 150mm thick inclined at 40 degrees on the hull while frontal turret armour was 180mm inclined at 80 degrees. The 8.8cm Kwk 43 L71 gun fired both of the Tiger Is rounds along with the improved PzGr. 43 which was based on the PzGr. 40. Early on, the combat reliability was bad but it steadily improved with improved training and modifications. Availability rates were better than the lighter Panther and only slightly less compared to the German workhorse i.e. Panzer 4. These tanks were heavily used in defensive positions which was aided by the fact that they carried 86 rounds in total off which most were stored in the hull.

(Credits-On the pic)
Tiger II's combat performance was mixed at best. Some units were fairly successful in scoring a lot of kills while others had to abandon tanks due to lack of serviceability. Allies used flanking attacks on Tiger units to penetrate the thinner side armour on these behemoths. On a positive note, crew survival rate was high thus experienced crews could be assigned to a new tank without the fuss of training a new crew all over again. There were some interesting duels between Tigers (both I & II) and allied M26 Pershings and IS-2 which were the closest matches the Tigers had during the war.
The then commander of allied forces in Europe Gen. Eisenhower checks out the running gear of an over-turned Tiger II. We can see that the wheels are overlapping but not interleaved.
I would like to point out an important thing, a lot of the flaws which the Tiger reportedly had were magnified by the allies to reduce the Tigerphobia among its crews. Some of the flaws have been discussed below. Lastly, once and for all, the Tiger vs Sherman scene in Fury is not an accurate depiction of actual combat.
Lets list and try to debunk some myths related to the Tigers
"It was heavy, slow and lacked manoeuvrability"
As mentioned in the article, the tank was very light on its controls and was pretty manoeuvrable for its size. Its top speed was 41kph while cross country speed was between 10-12kph which was common for all of the vehicles during the era.
"It was a gas guzzler"
Compared to vehicles of its size, Tigers weren't excessively inefficient. It is true that needed a lot of fuel to operate and later in the war they were used in static positions to save fuel but this was done due to lack of required fuel supply. Secondly, the tank's range was on par with peers of that era.
"It would get stuck in mud quite often"
This problem was aggravated due to interleaved/over lapping wheels but it wasn't that big a problem as Tigers with wide tracks had low ground pressure and didn't get stuck as often as claimed.
"They were bogged down by reliability issues"
With trained crews, Tigers wreaked havoc in the eastern sector. Trained crews maintained their tanks well and kept them active for much longer time while amateurs weren't able to keep them running which led to losses.
Overall, Tigers were the epitome of tank designs which could be practically deployed and used during conflicts. A lot of new cutting edge tech was being developed for the Tiger II when the German forces surrendered. It included advanced gun stabilisation systems, auto loader etc. The Germans would go on to develop another behemoth named Maus which would never see combat. Tiger II started a new trend in tank design by defining the requirements for a tank to be called Main Battle Tank, several types of which now serve countries around the globe. I would cover Sturmtiger and Jagdtiger in a separate article later on.
