Eric Tyler McMahon, age 20, of Lake Wylie, went to walk with our God October 3, 2018 in Greenville, SC. God gently placed him with Bob and Amy on July 3, 1998 in Lafayette, IN. He touched the heart of many and had a rambunctious and light hearted way of life. A kindred spirit that will be missed, but never forgotten.
He proudly served and was a veteran of the US Army and played a loving role as a youth leader at his church.
Survivors are his father and step-mother Robert E. McMahon and Karen McMahon of Lake Wylie, mother and step-father Amy Becktel McMahon and Richard Huntley of York, brother Thomas McMahon of Lake Wylie, step-brothers Owen Davis, Daniel Huntley, step-sisters Hannah Huntley and Sarah Huntley. Other survivors include his grandparents, Darryl and Donna Becktel of Indianapolis, IN and James and Nancy McMahon of Murrells Inlet, SC. And, along with his Godparents, Mike and Stacey McMahon, he leaves behind dozens of cousins, aunts and uncles who loved him dearly.
Celebration of Life will be 2 pm, Monday, October 8, 2018 at River Hills Community Church, Lake Wylie, SC. The family will receive friends in the church an hour prior to the service and immediately following the service in the church gathering space.
Memorials may be made to Humane Society of York County, 8177 Regent Parkway Suite 103, Fort Mill, SC 29715.
Online condolences may be made at www.mlfordsons.com.
M. L Ford & Son Funeral Home in Lake Wylie, SC is serving the family of Mr. McMahon.

Kim Kardashian shared with her followers that she was forced to evacuate her home in Calabasas, California, Thursday night due to the Woolsey wildfire.
The 38-year-old reality TV star was just getting back home when she looked out the window of a private plane and saw the flames. She said they only had one hour to pack up everything they need and get her kids ready before they had to leave the area, according to E! News Friday. (RELATED: PHOTOS: Kim Kardashian Goes Out In NYC Wearing Blazer And Sheer Bra)
"Pray for Calabasas," the "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" star wrote on Instagram. "Just landed back home and had 1 hour to pack up [and] evacuate our home. I pray everyone is safe."
In a separate post, she captioned it, "Firefighters are arriving. Thank you for all that you do for us."
"They are evacuating everyone right now from all of their homes," Kardashian shared in a clip of her leaving with the voice of one of her three kids heard in the background.
Sisters Kourtney Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian kept their fans up to date via their social media accounts, sharing that they also had to leave the area.
"I pray that everyone is kept safe and protected from these fires," the 39-year-old reality star wrote. "No Calabasas tonight."
I am with Rob, Dream and True and I am up keeping watch! Saying prayers and thanking all of the brave firefighters who risk their lives for us https://t.co/eVlJgWSqVd

"Charmed" star Alyssa Milano tweeted that she had to evacuate and took just her "kids, dogs, computer and Doc Marten boots."
"I just had to evacuate my home from the fires. I took my kids, dogs, computer and my Doc Marten boots. (Husband is in NY. Horses are being evacuated by my trainer.)" Milano wrote Thursday night.

— Eddie McClintock (@EddieMcClintock) November 9, 2018
Several fires broke out Thursday in Los Angeles and Ventura counties, according to CNN. As of Friday, the Woolsey had spread to 8,000 acres and caused evacuation orders for 75,000 homes.
Another one, called the Hill Fire, had scorched 10,000 acres and is just blocks away from the bar where 12 people were killed in a mass shooting.

Honda CR-V Named 2018 SUV of the Year
Honda CR-V Named 2018 SUV of the Year! Recently Motor Trend named the fan-favorite Honda CR-V as the 2018 SUV of the Year. The CR-V is in its second model year after being completely redesigned in its fifth-generation for 2017. So impressive is this model that it beat out 25 contenders in evaluations by 11 of Motor Trend's Top editors, writers, and testers.
"The Honda CR-V has earned its place as America's most popular SUV over the past two decades by providing customers with just-the-right balance of features, capabilities, fun-to-drive performance and outstanding quality." said Jeff Conrad, senior vice president of Automobile Sales & general manager of the Honda Division, American Honda Motor Co., Inc., "We are incredibly honored to earn this recognition from the experts at Motor Trend in a very competitive and crowded field."
Calling it "the swankiest interior ever seen on the CR-V", Motor Trend chose the CR-V because Honda paid attention to a wide range of details including advancement in design, safety performance features, engineering excellence, efficiency and value. To be eligible for the Motor Trend SUV of the Year award, a vehicle must be "all-new" or "substantially upgraded" and have been on sale within twelve months from the previous November.

My, What Beautiful Eyes You'll Have
Here we go...
Characteristics such as height, eye colour and intelligence could be selected if women undergoing fertility treatment are given more freedom to pick the donated sperm, egg or embryo.This is obviously not the "genetic engineering" that I am still predicting will eventually come to be accepted. It is, however, an early step. As things stand today I think there would be a public uproar if someone where able to truly design a child, but they might just be able to get away with this. With this established and accepted, the next phase will be to actively choose specific charactists one at a time and in a much more accurate way than just choose a sperm and/or egg donor.

We saw some good net worth gains in July. I don't know whether this is because our government KiwiSaver contributions arrived (I don't think it was but haven't bothered to look at the blow-by-blow report to see), but hopefully those are still to come this month.
We also fully rebuilt our Sharesies portfolio in July and then some. It's not at its highest ever point (but still a long way to go). Not sure where things will go from this point. Mrs R2A finishes her job tomorrow, so depending on whether she picks up a new one or becomes a housewife, the rate at which our net worth increases could change a lot. If she doesn't get a new job, we'll have to decrease our mortgage repayments when our fixed interest rate ends in October.
Here's our latest balances:
|KiwiSaver – Mr R2A
|KiwiSaver – Mrs R2A
|House Equity
|Eat My Lunch
|Bonus Bonds
That's an increase of $4,144.59 or 3.82% over last month. We're pretty stoked with that! I was expecting our month-on-month increases in net worth to become less significant over time – because, maths – but so far that's not happening. Still, it's early days!
August should be another good month, as it will be a 3x mortgage payment month (we pay fortnightly). After that, who knows!

Ballet demands vs Sport demands
Did you know that the demands of ballet are similar to those found in competitive sport? Dancers must cope with extremely high physical demands placed upon their bodies, and often experience injuries.
Dancers are also expected to cope with huge psychological demands. These include managing the anxiety of performances, dealing with recovery from injury and coping with aesthetic demands.
Ballet injuries
Professional dancers have a 90% risk of injury. A significant amount of these (60-76%) are related to overuse. In an environment that often demands working through pain, the psychological and physical recovery of dancers can be hindered.
The links between injury rates and severity of injury have been explored through research. Findings suggest that trait anxiety (the stable individual differences in anxiety-proneness) and tension/anxiety were significantly related to injury rates. In addition, it has been found that tension/anxiety, anger/hostility, and total negative mood states were significantly related to severity of injury.
Types of stress
A qualitative study with dancers suggested that cognitive anxiety (the thought processes associated with anxiety) was the dominant type experienced. It was also found to be unhelpful (debilitative) to performance. On the other hand, somatic anxiety (physical symptoms of anxiety) was seen as helpful (debilitative).
How to cope with stressors?
There are lots of ways to cope with different stressors in ballet. Here are just a few:
- Manage your body before your body manages you – listen to your body in relation to injury prevention and get professional treatment when you need it
- Manage the interpretation of anxiety – be mindful of negative thoughts creeping in that may affect your performance; check, challenge and change negative statements
- Proactive coping – think ahead to future stressors and plan ways that you can deal with them positively (e.g. managing self-talk, relaxation techniques, cognitive restructuring)
If you would like some support with your own performance, get in touch to see how we can help you.

"曼陀拉"(Mandala),来自梵语,意喻坛城,作为象征宇宙世界结构的本源,是应用很广泛的供品之一,也是变化多样的本尊神及众神聚集居处模型缩影。2005年,在艺术家Steven Weinberg来到中国时,以此为灵感来源创作了这一系列作品。作品《圆形曼陀拉》展现了Weinberg以贵金属与玻璃相混合的创作手法,扭转其形态,保留、甚至向内空间注入气泡,把玻璃切割、铸造成各种形态。Weinberg利用玻璃对光线的反射和折射性质,以及这种材质的通透性,用魔术般的手法和精确的技术,展现他心中的大千世界。
"Mandala" (Mandala), from Sanskrit, meaning altar city, as a symbol of the universe, the origin of the world structure, is the application of a wide range of supplies, but also a variety of changes in the gods of God and the gods gathered in the model. In 2005, when the artist Steven Weinberg came to China, he took a source of inspiration created this series of works. The work "Mandala" shows Weinberg's precious metal and glass blend of creative techniques, to reverse its shape, retain, and even inward space into the bubble, the glass cut, cast into a variety of forms. Weinberg is good at using the glass to reflect the light and the nature of the refraction, as well as the permeability of this material, with magic-like techniques to accurately show the heart of his world.
艺术家简介 About The Artist
Steven Weinberg
Steven Weinberg是新一代玻璃艺术工作室艺术家的代表。在七十年代初期,Weinberg在Alfred学习陶瓷艺术,但是他很快转换到了玻璃艺术,师从玻璃工作室艺术家先锋AndreBilleci和从英国的皇家艺术学院毕业的苏格兰艺术家EricHilton。1979年Weinberg正式毕业,并开始筹建自己的工作室,独立设计和打造工作室的所有设备,这在七十年代的美国是一种非常前卫的做法。
Born in 1954, Weinberg represents the next generation of studio glass artists. In the early 1970s, Weinberg also studied ceramics at Alfred, but he soon switched over to glass, working with studio glass pioneer Andre Billeci, and the Scottish artist Eric Hilton, who had come to Alfred from London's Royal College of Art.
Upon his graduation in 1979, Weinberg began to build his studio practice, and in his case, he literally built it, starting with the development and construction of his studio equipment. Although popular now, Weinberg's interest in kiln-casting and in cutting and polishing glass was quite uncommon in American studio glass of the late 1970s.
Over the 30 years that Weinberg has been working with glass, he has made a living as an independent artist and he has worked as a designer for various companies.

New pictures in Berlin by Hannes Bieger.
I first saw pictures by Hannes Bieger on Guy Sternberg's Facebook album, and they immediately hit me. I really appreciated the way he captured light, colors, faces and ambience.
Besides his photography work, I obviously didn't know Hannes as a producer, sound engineer and a journalist : he developped his own soul/jazz/deep-house projects Airmate and LLava, works as a mixing and mastering engineer at Calyx Mastering, then writes as a freelance author for the Sound&Recording magazine, not less !
For those who cares about studios – and we do, have a look at his amazing pictures of some of the most famous recording studio in the world, click here on "studio photo gallery".
So we met Hannes on a sunday of end january, during our session at Lowswing, Berlin. Daniel Offerman (Girls In Hawaii's bassist and Hallo Kosmo's frontman) was with us to record a german vocal part on "The Operator", a Barbara Morganstern's cover.
Hannes photographed us a lot while we were recording, then in front of the studio entrance in this somehow school-like lobby. The day after, we've been on Kastanienallee to take some pictures around that quite famous photo booth.
Now, here are some of his pictures, thank you Hannes !

And it's a little naughtier than you may think…
Last year, the beauty community lost their minds over the discovery that the key to your perfect neutral lip shade resides within your bra.
Yep, that's right. For the perfect nude lip, take a look at your nips.
It all began with an episode of The Doctors where they first brought this whacky theory into the limelight, suggesting that "nature knows best".
Nude + Lip = Nip. I don't know how we didn't stumble upon this earlier.
But as fun as it sounds, the theory copped a fair bit of backlash. Many people simply could not fathom a situation where they could both swatch some lippy and pop a titty. So naturally, it was written off as too good to be true and simply not practical.
Until now.
Have your delete buttons ready and your eggplant emojis eager. Because in the name of beauty, you're going to take a nude. But just hang in there, it's a lot less provocative than you think. As a woman who's done it herself, I promise.
The people over at Pantone practically invented colour. They're the world-famous "colour authorities" who are responsible for logging and naming practically every colour in existence. They have a nifty (and free) app that pinpoints the five most prominent shades in any picture. They say 'living room feature wall', I say 'nipples'.
Here's how I did it: in the privacy of your own home, hover the app over your nipple. It will automatically generate five different compatible shades.
The best part is, you don't even need to take the picture. Simply screenshot your screen and crop it so all that remains in that image is your five colour matches.
Voila! Five nudey shades and no digital footprint. Checkmate, Mark Zuckerberg.
Take your sweet sweet shades to the makeup counter and swatch your heart out. If the theory is correct, and it totally was for me, the secret to finally finding the perfect neutral shade belongs within that little spectrum of colours.
Happy nude-ing!

In this Microservices interview questions article, I have collected the most frequently asked questions by interviewers. These questions are collected after consulting with Microservices Certification Training experts. Let's discuss the best Java Microservices Interview Questions In 2019
According to Gartner, *microservices *are the new application platform for cloud development. *Microservices *are deployed and managed independently, and once implemented inside containers they have very little interaction with the underlying OS. So, if you are planning to start your career in the *Microservices *and you wish to know the skills related to it, now is the right time to dive in, when the technology is in its nascent state.
In case you have attended any Microservices interview *in the recent past, do paste those *interview questions in the comments section and we'll answer them ASAP. You can also comment below if you have any questions *in your mind, which you might face in your *Microservices interview.
You may go through this recording of Microservices Interview Questions and *Answers *where our instructor has explained the topics in a detailed manner with examples that will help you to *understand *this concept better.
Microservices, aka Microservice Architecture, is an architectural style that structures an application as a collection of small autonomous services, modeled around a business domain.In layman terms, you must have seen how bees build their honeycomb by aligning hexagonal wax cells.They initially start with a small section using various materials and continue to build a large beehive out of it.These cells form a pattern resulting in a strong structure which holds together a particular section of the beehive.Here, each cell is independent of the other but it is also correlated with the other cells.This means that damage to one cell does not damage the other cells, so, bees can reconstruct these cells without impacting the complete beehive.
Fig 1: Beehive Representation of Microservices – Microservices Interview Questions
Refer to the above diagram. Here, each hexagonal shape represents an individual service component. Similar to the working of bees, each agile team builds an individual service component with the available frameworks and the chosen technology stack. Just as in a beehive, each service component forms a strong microservice architecture to provide better scalability. Also, issues with each service component can be handled individually by the agile team with no or minimal impact on the entire application.
Fig 3: *Features of Microservices – Microservices Interview Questions *Decoupling – Services within a system are largely decoupled. So the application as a whole can be easily built, altered, and scaledComponentization – Microservices are treated as independent components that can be easily replaced and upgradedBusiness Capabilities – Microservices are very simple and focus on a single capabilityAutonomy – Developers and teams can work independently of each other, thus increasing speedContinous Delivery – Allows frequent releases of software, through systematic automation of software creation, testing, and approvalResponsibility – Microservices do not focus on applications as projects. Instead, they treat applications as products for which they are responsibleDecentralized Governance – The focus is on using the right tool for the right job. That means there is no standardized pattern or any technology pattern. Developers have the freedom to choose the best useful tools to solve their problemsAgility – Microservices support agile development. Any new feature can be quickly developed and discarded again## Q4. What are the best practices to design Microservices?
The following are the best practices to design microservices:
*Fig 4: *Best Practices to Design Microservices – Microservices Interview Questions
A microservice architecture has the following components:
Fig 5: *Architecture of Microservices – Microservices Interview Questions *Clients – Different users from various devices send requests.Identity Providers – Authenticates user or clients identities and issues security tokens.API Gateway – Handles client requests.Static Content – Houses all the content of the system.Management – Balances services on nodes and identifies failures.Service Discovery – A guide to find the route of communication between microservices.Content Delivery Networks – Distributed network of proxy servers and their data centers.Remote Service – Enables the remote access information that resides on a network of IT devices.## Q6. What are the pros and cons of Microservice Architecture?
Fig 6: *Comparison Between Monolithic SOA & Microservices – Microservices Interview Questions *Monolithic Architecture is similar to a big container wherein all the software components of an application are assembled together and tightly packaged.A Service-Oriented Architecture is a collection of services which communicate with each other. The communication can involve either simple data passing or it could involve two or more services coordinating some activity.Microservice Architecture is an architectural style that structures an application as a collection of small autonomous services, modeled around a business domain.## Q8. What are the challenges you face while working Microservice Architectures?
Developing a number of smaller microservices sounds easy, but the challenges often faced while developing them are as follows. Automate the Components: Difficult to automate because there are a number of smaller components. So for each component, we have to follow the stages of Build, Deploy and, Monitor.Perceptibility: Maintaining a large number of components together becomes difficult to deploy, maintain, monitor and identify problems. It requires great perceptibility around all the components.Configuration Management: Maintaining the configurations for the components across the various environments becomes tough sometimes.Debugging: Difficult to find out each and every service for an error. It is essential to maintain centralized logging and dashboards to debug problems.## Q9. What are the key differences between SOA and Microservices Architecture?
The key differences between SOA and microservices are as follows:
You can list down the characteristics of microservices as follows:
*Fig 7: *Characteristics of Microservices – Microservices Interview Questions
*Fig 8: *Principles of DDD – Microservices Interview Questions
*Fig 9: *Factors Why we need DDD – Microservices Interview Questions
If you have to define the** Ubiquitous Language (UL)**, then it is a common language used by developers and users of a specific domain through which the domain can be explained easily.
The ubiquitous language has to be crystal clear so that it brings all the team members on the same page and also translates in such a way that a machine can understand.
The degree to which the elements inside a module belong together is said to be cohesion.
The measure of the strength of the dependencies between components is said to be coupling. A good design is always said to have High Cohesion and** Low Coupling**.
Representational State Transfer (REST)/RESTful web services are an architectural style to help computer systems communicate over the internet. This makes microservices easier to understand and implement.
Microservices can be implemented with or without RESTful APIs, but it's always easier to build loosely coupled microservices using RESTful APIs.
It's a knows fact that spring has become more and more complex as new functionalities have been added. If you have to start a new spring project, then you have to add build path or add maven dependencies, configure application server, add spring configuration. So everything has to be done from scratch.
Spring Boot is the solution to this problem. Using spring boot you can avoid all the boilerplate code and configurations. So basically consider yourself as if you're baking a cake spring is like the ingredients that are required to make the cake and spring boot is the complete cake in your hand.
*Fig 10: *Factors of Spring Boot – Microservices Interview Questions
Spring Boot actuator provides restful web services to access the current state of running an application in the production environment. With the help of actuator, you can check various metrics and monitor your application.
According to the official website of Spring Cloud, Spring Cloud provides tools for developers to quickly build some of the common patterns in distributed systems (e.g. configuration management, service discovery, circuit breakers, intelligent routing, leadership election, distributed sessions, cluster state).
While developing distributed microservices with Spring Boot we face few issues which are solved by Spring Cloud. The complexity associated with distributed systems – **This includes network issues, Latency overhead, Bandwidth issues, security issues.Ability to handle Service Discovery – Service discovery allows processes and services in a cluster to find each other and communicate.Solved redundancy issues – Redundancy issues often occur in distributed systems.Load balancing – Improves the distribution of workloads across multiple computing resources, such as a computer cluster, network links, central processing units.Reduces performance issues – **Reduces performance issues due to various operational overheads.## Q21. What is the use of WebMvcTest annotation in Spring MVC applications?
WebMvcTest annotation is used for unit testing Spring MVC Applications in cases where the test objective is to just focus on Spring MVC Components. In the snapshot shown above, we want to launch only the ToTestController. All other controllers and mappings will not be launched when this unit test is executed.
Though you can implement microservices in multiple ways, REST over HTTP is a way to implement Microservices. REST is also used in other applications such as web apps, API design, and MVC applications to serve business data.
Microservices is an architecture wherein all the components of the system are put into individual components, which can be built, deployed, and scaled individually. There are certain principles and best practices of Microservices that help in building a resilient application.
In a nutshell, you can say that REST is a medium to build Microservices.
While working with microservices, testing becomes quite complex as there are multiple microservices working together. So, tests are divided into different levels. At the bottom level, we have technology-facing tests like- unit tests and performance tests. These are completely automated.At the middle level, we have tests for exploratory testing like the stress tests and usability tests.At the top level, *we have *acceptance tests that are few in number. These acceptance tests help stakeholders in understanding and verifying software features.## Q24. What do you understand by Distributed Transaction?
Distributed Transaction is any situation where a single event results in the mutation of two or more separate sources of data which cannot be committed atomically. In the world of microservices, it becomes even more complex as each service is a unit of work and most of the time multiple services have to work together to make a business successful.
Idempotence is the property of being able to do something twice in such a way that the end result will remain the same i.e. as if it had been done once only.
Usage: Idempotence is used at the remote service, or data source so that, when it receives the instruction more than once, it only processes the instruction once.
Bounded Context is a central pattern in Domain-Driven Design. It is the focus of DDD's strategic design section which is all about dealing with large models and teams. DDD deals with large models by dividing them into different Bounded Contexts and being explicit about their inter-relationships.
Two-factor authentication enables the second level of authentication to an account log-in process.
*Fig11: *Representation of Two Factor Authentication – Microservices Interview Questions
So suppose a user has to enter only username and password, then that's considered a single-factor authentication.
The three types of credentials are:
*Fig 12: *Types of Credentials of Two Factor Authentication – Microservices Interview Questions
A type of digital certificate that is used by client systems to make authenticated requests to a remote server is known as the** client certificate**. Client certificates play a very important role in many mutual authentication designs, providing strong assurances of a requester's identity.
*PACT *is an open source tool to allow testing interactions between service providers and consumers in isolation against the contract made so that the reliability of Microservices integration increases.
Used to implement Consumer Driven Contract in Microservices.Tests the consumer-driven contracts between consumer and provider of a Microservice.## Q31. What is OAuth?
*OAuth *stands for open authorization protocol. This allows accessing the resources of the resource owner by enabling the client applications on HTTP services such as third-party providers Facebook, GitHub, etc. So with this, you can share resources stored on one site with another site without using their credentials.
"Any organization that designs a system (defined broadly) will produce a design whose structure is a copy of the organization's communication structure." –** Mel Conway
*Fig 13: *Representation of Conway's Law – Microservices Interview Questions
This law basically tries to convey the fact that, in order for a software module to function, the complete team should communicate well. Therefore the structure of a system reflects the social boundaries of the organization(s) that produced it.
According to Martin Flower,** contract test **is a test at the boundary of an external service which verifies that it meets the contract expected by a consuming service.
Also, contract testing does not test the behavior of the service in depth. Rather, it tests that the inputs & outputs of service calls contain required attributes and the response latency, throughput is within allowed limits.
End-to-end testing validates each and every process in the workflow is functioning properly. This ensures that the system works together as a whole and satisfies all requirements.
In layman terms, you can say that end to end testing is a kind of tests where everything is tested after a particular period.
*Fig 14: *Hierarchy of Tests – Microservices Interview Questions
Containers are a good way to manage microservice based application to develop and deploy them individually. You can encapsulate your microservice in a container image along with its dependencies, which then can be used to roll on-demand instances of microservice without any additional efforts required.
*Fig 15: *Representation of Containers and How they are used in Microservices – Microservices Interview Questions
DRY stands for Don't Repeat Yourself. It basically promotes the concept of reusing the code. This results in developing and sharing the libraries which in turn result in tight coupling.
This is basically a pattern for developing Microservices so that they can be used by external systems. When we work on microservices, there is a particular provider who builds it and there are one or more consumers who use Microservice.
Generally, providers specify the interfaces in an XML document. But in Consumer Driven Contract, each consumer of service conveys the interface expected from the Provider.
A microservice architecture is based on a concept wherein all its services should be able to interact with each other to build a business functionality. So, to achieve this, each microservice must have an interface. This makes the web API a very important enabler of microservices. Being based on the open networking principles of the Web, RESTful APIs provide the most logical model for building interfaces between the various components of a microservice architecture.
Semantic monitoring, also known as** synthetic monitoring** combines automated tests with monitoring the application in order to detect business failing factors.
Cross-functional testing is a verification of non-functional requirements, i.e. those requirements which cannot be implemented like a normal feature.
Non-Deterministic Tests (NDT) are basically unreliable tests. So, sometimes it may happen that they pass and obviously sometimes they may also fail. As and when they fail, they are made to re-run to pass.
Some ways to remove non-determinism from tests are as follows: QuarantineAsynchronousRemote ServicesIsolationTimeResource leaks## Q42. What is the difference between Mock or Stub?
A dummy object that helps in running the test.Provides fixed behavior under certain conditions which can be hard-coded.Any other behavior of the stub is never tested. For example, for an empty stack, you can create a stub that just returns true for empty() method. So, this does not care whether there is an element in the stack or not.
A dummy object in which certain properties are set initially.The behavior of this object depends on the set properties.The object's behavior can also be tested. For example, for a Customer object, you can mock it by setting name and age. You can set age as 12 and then test for isAdult() method that will return true for age greater than 18. So, your Mock Customer object works for the specified condition.
Mike Cohn provided a model called Test Pyramid. This describes the kind of automated tests required for software development.
*Fig 16: *Mike Cohn's Test Pyramid – Microservices Interview Questions
As per pyramid, the number of tests at first layer should be highest. At service layer, the number of tests should be less than at the unit test level, but more than at the end-to-end level.
Docker provides a container environment that can be used to host any application. In this, the software application and the dependencies which support it are tightly-packaged together.
So, this packaged product is called a Container and since it is done by Docker, it is called Docker container!
Canary Releasing is a technique to reduce the risk of introducing a new software version in production. This is done by slowly rolling out the change to a small subset of users before giving it out to the entire infrastructure, i.e. making it available to everybody.
Continuous Integration (CI) is the process of automating the build and testing of code every time a team member commits changes to version control. This encourages developers to share code and unit tests by merging the changes into a shared version control repository after every small task completion.
*Continuous monitoring *gets into the depth of monitoring coverage, from in-browser front-end performance metrics, through application performance, and down to host virtualized infrastructure metrics.
An architect in microservices architecture plays the following roles: Decides broad strokes about the layout of the overall software system.Helps in deciding the zoning of the components. So, they make sure components are mutually cohesive, but not tightly coupled.Code with developers and learn the challenges faced in day-to-day life.Make recommendations for certain tools and technologies to the team developing microservices.Provide technical governance so that the teams in their technical development follow principles of Microservice.## Q49. Can we create State Machines out of Microservices?
As we know that each Microservice owning its own database is an independently deployable program unit, this, in turn, lets us create a State Machine out of it. So, we can specify different states and events for a particular microservice.
For Example, we can define an Order microservice. An Order can have different states. The transitions of Order states can be independent events in the Order microservice.
Reactive Extensions also are known as Rx. It is a design approach in which we collect results by calling multiple services and then compile a combined response. These calls can be synchronous or asynchronous, blocking or non-blocking. Rx is a very popular tool in distributed systems which works opposite to legacy flows.

A Month In Brief
Bulls took charge of Wall Street as 2018 began: the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 5.79% in the first month of the year, even with a mild selloff on the verge of February. Foreign equity benchmarks largely advanced as well. Oil and gasoline futures surged, while bitcoin continued to rollercoaster. Personal spending, manufacturing, and consumer confidence data encouraged investors. Home sales weakened as home prices surpassed a pre-recession peak and mortgage rates increased. Analysts kept warning that Wall Street was overdue for a pullback; while indices did slip late in the month, optimism was little shaken.1

Stevenage restaurant and cafe in Hitchin to give free Christmas dinners to homeless and elderly
PUBLISHED: 12:05 18 December 2018 | UPDATED: 15:06 18 December 2018
A Stevenage restaurant and a cafe in Hitchin are to open their doors to the homeless, elderly and emergency services on Christmas Day.
Misya Meze and Grill in Stevenage Old Town will be serving Christmas lunch for free from 12 noon until 4pm to the homeless, the lonely and emergency response staff working on Christmas Day.
Isa Demir, owner of Misya restaurant in High Street, said "I chatted with my family about how we could do something more this Christmas and they decided they wanted to open the restaurant up to those people who will not be sitting down to a family dinner.
"We decided that we would provide a free lunch to the homeless, lonely and emergency response staff such as the police, ambulance and fire service staff to provide a little festive cheer."
Isa and his staff have been praised for their efforts by Stevenage's MP Stephen McPartland.
"This is an incredibly kind gesture from a wonderful local business that is opening its doors on Christmas Day," he said.
"Isa is really putting the festive spirit back into Christmas. I am so proud of the whole team and the massive community spirit that we have here in Stevenage."
Herts police Chf Sup Matthew Nicholls was also full of praise. saying: "This is a wonderful and kind gesture from the owners and staff at the Misya restaurant.
"Stevenage police officers and staff will be working all hours and days of the holiday season, and I fully support this opportunity to provide some company to those who may be alone on Christmas Day.
"This local gesture is greatly appreciated."
Hitchin's Caffe Elite in Bancroft will be open from 12 noon until 3pm, providing a free Christmas dinner for those sleeping rough and the elderly who would otherwise spend the day alone.
Owners Salih Kaya and Yusuf Cakir said: "We took over the cafe September 2017 and there was one or two homeless people, but this year we noticed a big increase of homeless people.
"We would ask elderly people 'are you looking forward to Christmas?' and there reply would be 'no, as I'm alone'.
"So we decided to open our doors to bring the community together and enjoy a Christmas lunch."

Who hasn't been asked this question before?
Who hasn't asked it? It's exciting to receive gifts. We have an inborn curiosity about others and a general willingness to share their joy. So it's natural this question readily passes the lips the day after the First Day of Christmas.
I suggest there's a better question:
"What did you give for Christmas?"
Asking it could result in awkwardness. It's not normally asked, for one thing. For another, most people would be uncomfortable reeling off the list of gifts they had scattered abroad.
We who are followers of the Star of the Incarnation know that He told us, when He was an adult, that we are not to give to be "seen of men". So we have reticence telling what we have given. Therefore, this probably isn't actually a good question to ask someone.
It's a great question to ask yourself.
Do it. Ask it! Reflect on the last several days. What were your anticipations and expectations? From where did you most expect the joy to arise – what you hoped to receive, or what you joyfully gave?
I don't just mean the giving of what you can touch and hold. I mean attitudes, speech, facial expressions, time, and prayer – to start a nearly endless list.
What did you give for Christmas?
What will you yet give for Christmas?
Remember this is only the Second Day of Christmas. Plenty of giving opportunity waits just ahead.
This is the second in a series of 12 consecutive articles on the 12 Days of Christmas. Here are links to the rest of the series:

Video: 2012 Aston Martin Vantage S
Aston Martin is getting some criticism from the more forward thinking design aficionados, who complain that instead of creating new designs, the British car maker is focused on optioning and tweaking its baseline models – similar to the tactic employed by Porsche, which currently offers 22 versions of the standard 911. Others, who appreciate exactly where Aston is currently at, will be receptive to the Vantage S, which packs in some of the aggressive body styling from the V12 Vantage, and offers an engine optimized to produce 430 hp and 361 lb-ft of torque. The Vantage S also offers a more sport-specific chassis and tuning than the baseline Vantage model, the performance of which is put on display in this 8 minute video from High Gear Media Videos. The Vantage S is seen taking on the numerous curves and corners of the Ascari Race Resort. It's a window into a stereotypical gentleman's pursuit; pushing a car that is pedigreed, fast, and luxurious, around a beautiful private track set in the sun drenched south of Spain. And that's exactly why it's worth watching.

Collection Services
Does your company need to use a debt collection service?
Collection services can save your company tons of time and money, even if you don't have any troubles with getting your customers or clients to pay their bills. Debt collection agencies are useful even before you find your customers paying their bills late. You can use these agencies as a debt collection service, but you can also take advantage of their billing services and customer service agents.
For customers, contact from a debt collection agency is typically the last step in dealing with financial difficulties. But for companies, contact with a debt collection agency can be the first step in organizing incoming finances.
Debt Collection Agencies
Debt collection agencies specialize in customer service and the efficient collection of outstanding funds. Most collection agencies work on commission and are not paid unless they manage to get the customer to pay the bill. The average agency will push your customers and clients for the immediate full payment of outstanding accounts, rather than try to arrange a payment plan. However, if your company is flexible with different types of payment, the agency will follow your company policies. If, on the other hand, you find yourself drowning in accounts receivable, you may want to look into factoring services.
When you're looking for the right agency, take a look at their employee retention. Effective techniques for dealing with bill payment and delinquent accounts can only be developed through experience. A good collection agency carefully trains its employees and works to keep them, in order to benefit from their growing experience.
Billing Services
Billing services are offered by collection agencies as a way to avoid outstanding accounts in the first place. Services may include billing and invoicing duties like printing, envelope stuffing and stamping, which saves you time trying to contact your customers.
Agencies may also provide other services similar to those provided by accounting firms, such as electronic billing and payment collection, bulk mailing, data collection and recording, and telephone customer service. These kinds of services are great for small and big business alike, and can save you time and money trying to keep your accounts up-to-date and keep track of your business's finances.
A lot of the billing services offered can make your accounts payable a completely self-service experience for your customers. These services can also help your company go green by providing the technology you need to put your billing and payment services online.

Follow my Cousin,she is a phenomenal writer!
Knowing your worth means something different for each person. Essentially it is important to know that you have value. Our values differ, but once you have established what your values are, you owe it to yourself to maintain them and not to be willing to compromise them.
We must be aware of our worth in relationships. When I was much younger I was in a relationship that left me feeling empty and unfulfilled. Being very young, it took time and experience to realize that I deserved to be full and fulfilled in every relationship and in every aspect of life. If I chose to share my life with someone, that person must be worthy of my time and attention. I should not be in a relationship that does not honor the value I've placed on myself.
If you find yourself in a similar situation it would be in the best…

China's Strategy for the Global EconomyEconomics / China Economy Aug 26, 2017 - 02:08 PM GMT
In the fall of 1993, I was sitting in class in grad school. We were using case studies to explore business management decisions. My professor walked through the history of Otis Elevators, noting that the company had reached market saturation and had choices to make.
I was sort of paying attention… sort of not.
Then he called on me.
"Rodney! What should a company do when it reaches market saturation?!"
I fumbled. "Develop a new product or service?"
He thundered back, "Find another market!"
His point was that Otis Elevators had saturated the U.S. market, but had all of Europe to explore. It would be much easier to exploit untapped markets with a product they already provided than it would be to introduce a new product or service they'd need to develop.
I think the Chinese took the same class.
In 2013, the Chinese government introduced the Silk Road Economic Belt and 21st Century Maritime Silk Road initiative, which has been shortened to One Belt, One Road.
The plan was to develop infrastructure to facilitate trade among many players in Eurasia and Northern Africa. Or so that's what the Chinese government told everyone. The details indicated other immediate goals, with trade as a long-term, add-on benefit.
After the financial crisis, China poured on the monetary coals to propel its economic engine. The county expanded credit at a torrid pace, fueling an unprecedented building boom. Roads, bridges, and condominiums sprung from the ground.
China produced and used more cement between 2011 and 2013 than the United States did in all of the 20th century.
That's a lot of concrete.
But even in a land of 1.3 billion people, that pace of building couldn't last.
Eventually, there would be a dramatic slowdown.
China now has empty cities. Not because everyone left, but because they built them and no one came.
Now, as their domestic expansion slows down, the Chinese have created an outlet for all of their resources and construction know-how…
Under the One Belt, One Road Initiative, the Chinese provide the resources, expertise, and much of the labor to build roads, bridges, ports, and other infrastructure in Pakistan, Kenya, India, Malaysia, and even Russia and Greece.
The initiative is expected to touch 68 countries and billions of people.
Of course, many of those countries can't pay for expensive new ports and roads, but that's not an obstacle, it's an opportunity, if you're the Chinese.
China will not only provide the materials, expertise, and labor, but also the funding! Through the Asian Development Bank and other entities, China is loaning money to foreign nations that then use the capital to buy stuff from China.
And once those projects are completed, guess which country will have a claim on the assets to repay the loans, and also have priority status when it comes to trade?
And the strategy doesn't end there.
China has another issue that it's turning into an opportunity.
The country is pretty good at building coal-fired electric plants. But, as one of the vocal members of the Paris Climate Accord, building a bunch of new coal plants creates bad optics. At least, when you build them at home.
The country also already has a lot of electricity generation capacity, and a fair amount of renewable energy. So as with their other spare capacity, they went looking elsewhere.
Over the next 10 years, China expects to build 700 new coal-fired electric plants, but 20% of the capacity will be overseas. While the new plants (with all of the environmental issues that come with them) will benefit the local populations, they'll also support operations along the trade routes that will carry Chinese goods.
And I'm guessing that the plants in foreign countries will buy their coal from the Chinese.
The strategy is bold, but not without risks. What happens when locals in Pakistan get annoyed with Chinese workers? What happens when a friendly foreign government is toppled by a political foe that doesn't want to honor previous arrangements?
These legacy issues will be interesting to watch. Will China be better at dealing with them than, say, every other nation in history that's tried the same thing? We'll see.
For now, it's impressive to watch the Chinese implement their plans in so many locations, providing a much-needed outlet for their overcapacity at home.
For anyone interested, the Chinese are touting the initiatives as some sort of global, hand-holding, kumbaya thing that will unite the planet.
They've even released videos and songs to promote it, like this one. That way, people can feel good about helping the Chinese cement their hold on global trade for decades to come.

His mistake was in not blowing the kid's brains out and then saying that he thought his daughter was being raped.ReplyDeleteReplies
Maybe Gorges, but then he would be on trial for murder with all that entails. The fact remains that you don't shoot blindly w/o knowing who or what might be hit. A good old fashioned "laying on of hands" would have been much more satisfying, endangered no one else, and probably would have resulted in a dismissal and a high five from the judge.Delete
I think the traditional daughter defense gun is a 12 gauge and you pepper his behind going out the window.Delete
Obviously you can't go shooting off guns like that and he should be in some trouble. Plus he is probably nuts but that ain't the point.
If you can fire your gun to scare off a rapist, can you fire it to scare off a statutory rapist?ReplyDeleteReplies
I think anymore you just have to say boo!Delete
Actually, in this day and age, don't ya think the proper thing to do would have to brought them milk and cookies and given them a lecture on "safe sex."
Perhaps later, a trip to the family planning center.
Why can't we all just get along.
What ever happened to rock salt loads in a 12 gauge? Just remember to do a thorough barrel cleaning afterwards.ReplyDelete
Officer, I didn't really mean to blow his &%$# off, it was just rock salt!Replies
Muzzle loading side by side twelve with exposed hammers and Damascus barrels would be the proper implement.Delete
In these gentler times it might suffice for a young gentleman caller to notice the muffin tin with measured portions of rock salt, primers and empty shells crudely hand labelled "Squirrel Load".
I would also need to wear overalls and a straw hat I suppose.Delete
I think it is really going to intimidate my daughter's suitors to see me setting on the porch in a rocking chair putting foam bullets in belt for the Nerf machine gun with a candy cigar behind my ear and The Legendary Stardust Cowboy on the Victrola.

Deciphering Web Page Error Codes – What Do They Mean?
Even the best websites occasionally malfunction, so having a plan in place to address any issues is important. By including error coding in a web design, web designers can help a site owner know when users experience problems and the type of problem. Google and other browsers have a list of error codes that can be tracked to indicate the presence of any problems, which helps a web company efficiently serve their clients.
More Than Just the 404
Most people recognize the 404 error code, which is "page not found;" however, there are many more status and error codes, each one with a different, specific meaning. There are five classes of status codes, each of which is a three-digit number. It is the client and server error codes that designers should be concerned with when developing a website. This is because these are ones that indicate any problems with a website. The codes are class 4XX and 5XX – and there are a lot of them!
4XX Class Error Codes
Following is a list of some 4XX error codes. These are client-side errors that indicate there was a request to access a page with some kind of problem that could not be completed:
- 400 Bad Request – This code is the result of a malformed data request sent by the user's browser that is not understood by the site server.
- 401 Authorization Request – This request presents as a pop-up asking the user for a password to view the page requested.
- 403 Forbidden – This code indicates files or directories that are locked or hidden for security or other reasons, preventing users from viewing them.
- 404 Not Found – This code means the server did not find anything at the URL requested by the browser. This is either because the requested URL is wrong or the page has been moved with no redirect in effect. Since this is the most common error that users receive, many websites customize these errors to match the website and even add a humorous apology as well.
- 408 Time Out – This code is an incomplete browser request that the server is not able to interpret. This is common when browsers or websites are experiencing heavy traffic loads.
- 410 Gone – Unlike the 404 that indicates the page may still exist somewhere else, a 410 error code means the page no longer exists – period.
5XX Class Error Codes
The following list of certain 5XX error codes are server errors that indicate there is a problem delivering the request from the server side, as opposed to poor communication from the client side:
- 500 Internal Server Error – This is a generic error code that indicates something happened to prevent the server from delivering the requested page when no other 5XX error matches.
- 502 Bad Gateway – This is a communication error between two servers. For some reason, the higher server is not able to process the request of the lower one. This commonly occurs when two servers are programmed differently on how to exchange information.
- 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable – This code is usually caused by a server overload, when a site is down for maintenance or some other circumstance that will usually resolve itself.
- 504 Gateway Timeout – This is a code that indicates a slowed or broken communication between servers higher up in the hierarchy than the server that actually serves the client.
The good news for professionals who design websites is not all website errors are serious. By understanding the different codes, a developer can decipher where problems lie and explain to their clients if any of these errors should appear. A good web design company should also take the time to inform website owners about the various errors in case they are noticed. This can also help create good feedback from clients, which is important when a site manager is attempting to troubleshoot and repair web error problems!

W. W. Norton & Company
December 15, 2003)
Why did the first civilizations emerge when and where they did? How did Islam become a unifying force in the world of its birth? What enabled the West to project its goods and power around the world from the fifteenth century on? Why was agriculture invented seven times and the steam engine just once?
World-historical questions such as these, the subjects of major works by Jared Diamond, David Landes, and others, are now of great moment as global frictions increase. In a spirited and original contribution to this quickening discussion, two renowned historians, father and son, explore the webs that have drawn humans together in patterns of interaction and exchange, cooperation and competition, since earliest times. Whether small or large, loose or dense, these webs have provided the medium for the movement of ideas, goods, power, and money within and across cultures, societies, and nations. From the thin, localized webs that characterized agricultural communities twelve thousand years ago, through the denser, more interactive metropolitan webs that surrounded ancient Sumer, Athens, and Timbuktu, to the electrified global web that today envelops virtually the entire world in a maelstrom of cooperation and competition, J. R. McNeill and William H. McNeill show human webs to be a key component of world history and a revealing framework of analysis. Avoiding any determinism, environmental or cultural, the McNeills give us a synthesizing picture of the big patterns of world history in a rich, open-ended, concise account.
J. R. McNeill is professor of history and the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University and the author of Something New under the Sun: An Environmental History of the Twentieth Century World. His father, William H. McNeill, is emeritus professor of history at the University of Chicago. His most recent book is Keeping Together in Time: Dance and Drill in Human History.
