Please pay attention to this fact – these are (mostly) not officially proven records, but claims of hitchhikers regarding their extremes. This list of records is for us – hitchhikers (we should be happy for our colleagues, not to be envious!), for novices who do not know anything about hitching, but they are proud of their only travel abroad.
Note that this page is a near copy of the Rekordai / Records of Vilniaus Autostopo Klubas. Some of the records, those marked (HGE), were originally published in Ken Welsh' "Hitchhikers Guide to Europe".
Feel free to add your own record(s), but please do not make list longer than five records. If you still want to add a record when there are already five entries, and your record is not in the top-5, you can create a sub-page for the particular record.

The record was included on page 179 of the UK 1991 edition of the Guinness Book of Records. Full details of the four rides that led to this record can be found here.
Alexey Vorov, president of the St. Petersburg Autostop League. He has covered about 1,973,650 km (updated: 14th September 2015) by hitchhiking. Hitching experience – from 1977 on. He is still hitchhiking, so it is not the final number.
Benoit Grieu, French hitchhiker. Started his trip in 1979 and since then all the time on the road. During this trip he has covered about 1,500,000 km. For some years, he hitchhiked more than 100,000 km/year. His current whereabouts are sadly unknown.

They covered an astonishing 7107 km before parting company. (HGE) Note: This record was copied from Ken Welsh' "Hitchhikers Guide to Europe". L.J. may have recorded the distance as miles in a car with a KM odometer, as the distance seems far too great to be in kilometres.
Alexey Anofriev from Vladivostok (Russia) hitchhiked from Vladivostok (23 May, 2001) to Shimanovsk (the end of the road) and got a lift to Samara there. From Shimanovsk to Shilka on the railroad platform together with the car and from Shilka to Samara by car (Toyota Celica). Totally it was about 6800 km long lift from 28 May until 4 June!

Neringa Raulusonyte and Kristina Zukaite from the Vilnius Hitch-hiking Club. They got a ride from a 55 years old German driver with a Toyota Corolla, which was going just 50 km.

a few days later after completing his key west, florida, to fairbanks, alaska run, mr. island hitched from prudhoe bay, alaska back to key west, florida in 6-days, 17-hours and 22-minutes. however since this route included trespassing for 510-miles on oil company owned roads that record was not honored and instead guinness recognized mr. island's run from key west, florida to fairbanks, alaska as mentioned above.
world records: musings on what makes a record breaking hitch.
if you want to do something that (probably) hasn't been done before, you can try your thumb at any of these. don't expect to end up in the guinness book of records for it, they no longer seem to have a section with hitchhiking records.

Apache Tomcat is a web server for multiple operating systems, including CentOS. It's open-source software developed by the Apache Software Foundation, so it's available for free under the Apache license. Apache Tomcat is written in Java, and uses JavaServer Pages and Java servlets to create a pure Java runtime environment. It runs as a single process in its simplest configuration, although Tomcat processes each HTTP request from the browser as a separate thread. The procedure for installing Tomcat generally involves installing the Java Development Kit (JDK), configuring the system environment, downloading Tomcat and installing it.
Here is a quick tutorial on how to install Apache Tomcat.
Set JAVA_HOME to the location of JDK, which is /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk by default.
NOTE: Always check to ensure you are downloading the latest version. Version 7.0.56 was current at the time of writing.
You'll also need to update the password you use to log in to your Tomcat Manager. We've got thos instructions for you here.

Bitdefender has announced on Tuesday the takeover of its Australian partner SMS eTech, as part of its global business expansion strategy. The acquisition strengthens the company’s position in the Asia-Pacific region and globally by creating its own subsidiary, Bitdefender Australia, headquartered in Melbourne. The value of the acquisition was not disclosed.
By integrating the business line of SMS eTech, its distributor in Australia and New Zealand, Bitdefender establishes its local presence directly by opening an office in Melbourne. This is the company’s first office in the region. Bitdefender took over the eTech SMS employees in charge of the Bitdefender portfolio, with the goal of strengthening online sales, partner network, and expansion in the region.
Bitdefender products have been available on the Australian market for 13 years, and over the last four years, eTech has been the exclusive partner of Bitdefender, reporting business growth of 55 percent, focusing on sales to companies.
“This strategic decision will contribute to the two-digit sustained growth that we are experiencing. Bitdefender Australia will play a key role in developing Bitdefender business and branding globally,” said Bitdefender CEO Florin Talpes.
“Acquisition was the natural step in the relationship between the two companies. SMS eTech has always been ready to support brands to establish themselves in Australia and New Zealand. I am excited to see how Bitdefender accelerates its presence on the market with world-class security solutions,” says Colin Westbury, managing director of SMS eTech.
The decision comes after Bitdefender took over its French partner, Profil Technology, in 2017, responsible for the sale of Romanian security solutions in 2001. Bitdefender has become a strong player on the security solutions market, controlling one third of the market for solutions purchased in stores and protecting more than a million business computers from Hexagon. Also as part of the process of global expansion, Bitdefender opened its own offices in Italy, Sweden and Canada over the last two years.
Bitdefender’s business model requires presence in some markets either through its own offices or through exclusive partners who fully manage Bitdefender’s sales and marketing activities. The decision to open its own offices or acquire partners is being made to accelerate the development of Bitdefender in strategically important markets through massive investments to strengthen the relationship with distributors and customers. Currently, Bitdefender has established its local presence in the USA, France, Germany, Denmark, Spain, Italy, United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, Sweden, Canada.
Bitdefender is a global security IT company that delivers revolutionary protection solutions against complex threats to 500 million users across 150 countries. Since 2001, Bitdefender has developed internationally recognized security technologies for the residential market and corporations and has become a trusted provider for the protection of hybrid terminals and infrastructures. R&D activities over the past 17 years and strategic partnerships enable Bitdefender to offer its customers robust and reliable security solutions.

The 24-year-old and newly minted library employee is running on a platform of limiting spending on education and establishing more charter schools. The 2009 VCU graduate moved to “the Democratic Peoples’ Republic of Charlottesville” a year and a half ago. He’s an occasional blogger and regular twitterer. (Note that school board elections are non-partisan, so parties don’t nominate candidates, nor is party affiliation listed on the ballot.) Latimer is the fifth candidate to declare for the four seats up for election this year.

WHO suggests that 1.3 billion people all around the world have some kind of visual impairment – which includes 217 million people with moderate to severe vision impairment; 36 million people are blind worldwide; 15% of the global population have some kind of disability.
With the advancements in adaptive technologies, such as screen readers, magnifiers, eye-tracking, joysticks, and sip-and puff technology, visually impaired and disabled people are able to use computers, tablets, and smartphones.
Emails that are designed taking into consideration only people with a normal range of vision, hearing, and mobility, may not be usable for others. As a result, email accessibility is now a must-know topic for designers.
Let’s take a deep dive into how to design accessible emails, and reach each and every subscriber on your list.
90-100: Easily understood by child of 11 years.
60-70: Easy to understand by 13-15 years old teens.
30-50: Easy to understand by college students.
0-30: Understood by college graduates.
Use lucid and to-the-point language to get a better (higher) score.
Take a look at this email by SurveyMonkey. It has a succinct copy with a neat presentation. The ample white space makes it easy to read. The contrasting CTAs in the white background are clearly visible to the reader.
If you are creating an accessible email, the imagery should not contain the text that conveys the core message of the email. Even if you decide to use text in the images, write illustrative copy.
GIFs are being used in emails extensively but you should refrain from designing animated GIFs that flash repeatedly, lest they trigger photo-sensitive seizures in some users; use a GIF that stops after three cycles or within five seconds.
Never forget to add a suitable alt attribute inside each <img> tag. For example: Add the company name as the alternative text for the logo.
Design bullet-proof buttons that can be selected across the entire area with the help of a finger or thumb. In case you have multiple buttons in your email, write a different call-to-action for each. Your button should have a minimum height of 44px so that it is easily tappable.
Your email should have enough paragraph spacing so that the reader can easily discern the paragraphs. Every line of text should be around 60-70 characters. Have typographic margins with related content grouped together, and separate every group with the help of white space for enhanced readability. Set the right visual hierarchy by placing the most important message at the top. This will help subscribers with neurological and cognitive disability.
Your body copy should be left-aligned; rather than right aligned, centered or justified. Design an email in such a way that there is no repositioning of the content with CSS; it should be easy to read from top to bottom. You can check the reading order of your email through the Web Accessibility Toolbar or the WAI HTML Table Linearizer.
Avoid using fancy or light-weight typefaces that are difficult to read. It is strongly recommended to use serif or sans-serif typefaces that are not only accessible but also rendered well on all email clients and devices. Determine a minimum readable font size for your email copy. For a font-family with a large x-height, a minimum font size of 14px is recommended and for a font family like Arial that has a standard x-height, use at least 16px as the size.
Colors are an important aspect when it comes to subscribers who have light sensitivity and migraines. Backlit screens can lead to eye strain and cause migraines when looking at bright, saturated hues of blue and red.
The next condition to be considered is color blindness as it prevents the subscribers from differentiating between certain colors used in the email.
Did you know that according to the National Eye Institute, 0.5% women and 8% men are color blind? This implies that 1 in 200 women and 1 in 12 men are color blind.
When it comes to emails, you should always check your emails with the help of the Color BLIndness Simulator. Additionally, you should use WebAim Color Contrast Checker to get an idea of the color contrast between the text and background color.
Test your email with color blind users, or use an app such as Color Oracle.
The first requisite is to design a responsive email that renders well, regardless of the screen size, device type, and screen reader used. <h1> tags should be used to wrap the headlines while <h2> to <h6> tags for headings and <p> tags for paragraphs.
Use mso-line-height-rule:exactly; in your <h> tags so that the line-height rule is maintained for Microsoft Outlook email clients.
Write the code style=”margin:0;” into the opening tags so that email and webmail clients do not add any extra line space.
Add aria-hidden=”true” on spacer elements so that screen readers ignore the spacers in the email.
Add role=”presentation” into every opening <table> tag so that the screen readers do not read every cell into the email.
Avoid any unnecessary code that makes the HTML heavy and may lead to rendering issues.
Last but not the least, it is imperative to have both plain text and HTML versions of the email. The HTML emails will let the user see the images while the text-only email shows the text and makes it convenient to read the entire email, especially for screen readers.
Wave Tool is a Chrome and Firefox extension that lets you check your emails and calls attention to things that make it inaccessible.
With the help of AChecker, you can check the email accessibility by any of the three methods: pasting the URL of your email or upload your HTML file or copy and paste the code.
IA Toolkit is available as a Chrome browser extension that checks emails and web content for accessibility. You get an extensive analysis of the code with errors and warnings.
VoiceOver on MacOS and iOS, Narrator on Windows, and TalkBack on Android are used to get a clear idea on how the email will be experienced by the subscriber.
Accessibility has become an integral facet of email marketing nowadays. Before you set up an accessible email campaign, use these tips to follow email marketing and design best practices. That will, in turn, increase the reach of your email and enable a smooth experience for each and every subscriber.

design bullet-proof buttons that can be selected across the entire area with the help of a finger or thumb. in case you have multiple buttons in your email, write a different call-to-action for each. your button should have a minimum height of 44px so that it is easily tappable.
your email should have enough paragraph spacing so that the reader can easily discern the paragraphs. every line of text should be around 60-70 characters. have typographic margins with related content grouped together, and separate every group with the help of white space for enhanced readability. set the right visual hierarchy by placing the most important message at the top. this will help subscribers with neurological and cognitive disability.
your body copy should be left-aligned; rather than right aligned, centered or justified. design an email in such a way that there is no repositioning of the content with css; it should be easy to read from top to bottom. you can check the reading order of your email through the web accessibility toolbar or the wai html table linearizer.
avoid using fancy or light-weight typefaces that are difficult to read. it is strongly recommended to use serif or sans-serif typefaces that are not only accessible but also rendered well on all email clients and devices. determine a minimum readable font size for your email copy. for a font-family with a large x-height, a minimum font size of 14px is recommended and for a font family like arial that has a standard x-height, use at least 16px as the size.
colors are an important aspect when it comes to subscribers who have light sensitivity and migraines. backlit screens can lead to eye strain and cause migraines when looking at bright, saturated hues of blue and red.
the next condition to be considered is color blindness as it prevents the subscribers from differentiating between certain colors used in the email.
did you know that according to the national eye institute, 0.5% women and 8% men are color blind? this implies that 1 in 200 women and 1 in 12 men are color blind.
when it comes to emails, you should always check your emails with the help of the color blindness simulator. additionally, you should use webaim color contrast checker to get an idea of the color contrast between the text and background color.
test your email with color blind users, or use an app such as color oracle.
the first requisite is to design a responsive email that renders well, regardless of the screen size, device type, and screen reader used. <h1> tags should be used to wrap the headlines while <h2> to <h6> tags for headings and <p> tags for paragraphs.
use mso-line-height-rule:exactly; in your <h> tags so that the line-height rule is maintained for microsoft outlook email clients.
write the code style=”margin:0;” into the opening tags so that email and webmail clients do not add any extra line space.
add aria-hidden=”true” on spacer elements so that screen readers ignore the spacers in the email.
add role=”presentation” into every opening <table> tag so that the screen readers do not read every cell into the email.
avoid any unnecessary code that makes the html heavy and may lead to rendering issues.
last but not the least, it is imperative to have both plain text and html versions of the email. the html emails will let the user see the images while the text-only email shows the text and makes it convenient to read the entire email, especially for screen readers.
wave tool is a chrome and firefox extension that lets you check your emails and calls attention to things that make it inaccessible.
with the help of achecker, you can check the email accessibility by any of the three methods: pasting the url of your email or upload your html file or copy and paste the code.
ia toolkit is available as a chrome browser extension that checks emails and web content for accessibility. you get an extensive analysis of the code with errors and warnings.
voiceover on macos and ios, narrator on windows, and talkback on android are used to get a clear idea on how the email will be experienced by the subscriber.
accessibility has become an integral facet of email marketing nowadays. before you set up an accessible email campaign, use these tips to follow email marketing and design best practices. that will, in turn, increase the reach of your email and enable a smooth experience for each and every subscriber.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Angelina Jolie is not ruling out running for public office.
The 43-year-old actress and U.N. special envoy tells People magazine "never say never!" However, Jolie says she's "looking to others for leadership."
In her role with the U.N.'s High Commission for Refugees, Jolie recently urged nations to deploy more women peacekeepers in order to prevent sexual violence against refugees. Jolie says "we have to change laws that treat women as second-class citizens."
Since breaking up with Brad Pitt more than two years ago, Jolie is focused on their six children and her work. Her oldest, Maddox, enters college in the fall.
She wrapped up her first starring movie role in four years in "Maleficent: Mistress of Evil." It's due out in October.
The interview appears in People's April 15 issue.

(Reuters) - Honeywell International Inc (HON.N) said on Friday it is relocating its global corporate headquarters to Charlotte, North Carolina, which is closer to several of the U.S. industrial conglomerate’s businesses in the Southeast of the United States.
The company, which makes everything from aircraft engines to catalysts used in petroleum refining, is currently based in Morris Plains, New Jersey.
Honeywell will also relocate the headquarters of its safety and productivity solutions (SPS) business unit to Charlotte from Fort Mill, South Carolina.
The SPS unit makes supply chain and warehouse automation equipment, software and personal protection equipment, especially footwear designed for workers.
“Charlotte is a top-10 destination city in the U.S. that will readily enable us to recruit and retain the world-class talent we will need over the long term,” Chief Executive Officer Darius Adamczyk said.
Honeywell will relocate about 150 to 200 New Jersey-based senior management positions and about 100 South Carolina-based employees to Charlotte between now and September 2019, the company said.
The company plans to gradually add about 500 corporate and SPS employees to the Charlotte location over the next five years, taking the total employment to about 750 at the new location by the end of 2024.
About 1,000 Honeywell employees will remain within the company’s six locations in New Jersey.

A Boomer's Guide to Eldercare: Senior communities: For profit? Not-for-profit? The Kenney tells the story well.
Senior communities: For profit? Not-for-profit? The Kenney tells the story well.
When it comes to eldercare, be it retirement and assisted living or home care, many people choose the not-for-profit model.
1. Not-for-profits are mission-driven and accountable to the community at large. Many are connected with a church or a hospital, and their responsibility to the broader community is well defined. Their tax exempt status presupposes the practice of "giving back." That's certainly true of The Kenney, a faith-based community. If residents run out of money, or outlive their money, a benevolence fund through The Kenney Foundation may be available to help them pay their monthly fees. This allows them to stay and continue to live a purposeful lifestyle. The Kenney also gives back to West Seattle. Groups including the West Seattle Pastors Group, Tiny Tots and West Seattle Chamber of Commerce meet here regularly. The Kenney Foundation will soon be sponsoring a fundraiser for veterans.
2. Corporate investors don't set the organization's policy. Boards of directors, who are community volunteers, work with management and administration to make the key decisions which are in line with the community's mission. At The Kenney, as in other not-for-profits, board members are experts in their respective fields of finance, education, health care and ministry. Another difference: extra dollars go, not to stockholders or owners, but back into the organization, to improve staffing ratios, train employees and build innovative programs that make seniors smile.
2. 3. In general, not-for-profits do a better job of retaining their high quality employees. I've watched the senior communities I've worked in do many things--big and small--to attract excellent caregivers and other employees and to keep them. In-services, scholarship opportunities and specialized training build staff morale and increase tenure. So do simpler things like the monthly staff meetings where all departments can set common goals and celebrate those with five years of service, ten years, etc. At The Kenney, many staff in the dining services and caregiving staff have worked there more than 15 years. The Kenney has a staff member celebrating 34 years of service this month! The big plus? She knows every resident by name.

There are several chapters under which you can file for bankruptcy in a United States Bankruptcy Court. The two most common are Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. Last year in the Florida Middle District of the United States Bankruptcy Courts approximately 75% were Chapter 7, and 24% were Chapter 13 filings. Chapter 11 used by businesses and individuals whose debts are very large, and Chapter 12 for family farmers amounted to 1%.
The intent of this page is to explain some of the issues involved in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy case. A Miami Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Lawyer can help you make the decision to file and if so whether it should be for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13.
Because the Bankruptcy Code combines both federal and state laws, it can be complicated. The items listed below will provide the reader an overview of the major components of a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy case. It is advisable that you contact a Miami Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Lawyers who will more fully explain and elaborate on any bankruptcy issues.
Mean income test - The Court will compare your average income for the six months prior to your filing to the medium income for the state of Florida. Provided your income is less than the median, you may elect a Chapter 7 filing.
Exceed the monthly income test? - If you exceed the median income, other portions of the means test will be examined to see if you are still eligible for a Chapter 7 filing. If you have a lot of expenses, such as a high mortgage, you still may be able qualified for a Chapter 7 filing. The completion of Official Form 22A, which takes into account a multitude of factors is the method used to determine qualification.
Credit counseling - You, within 180 days before filing, must receive credit counseling from an approved credit counseling agency.
Eligibility - Individuals, partnerships, corporations and other business entities are eligible.
Homestead - Properties of 1/2 acre or less within a municipality and properties up to hundred and 60 acres outside a municipality. If the residence was purchased 40 or more months prior to the filing there is no limit on the amount of the exemption. If it was purchased within 40 months you are entitled to $137,000 per person.
Florida Statutory Exemptions - Includes pensions, 401K plans are tax-deferred retirement plans, Social Security, disability, IRAs, annuities life insurance cash value, tuition investment plans, health saving accounts, and hurricane savings accounts.
Automobile - $1000 of equity in one automobile. $2000 is owned jointly. If your car has no equity (the value of the car is less than the amount owed) you can retain the vehicle provided you keep your car payment current.
Miscellaneous - Other miscellaneous personal property including a clothes, tools, furniture, and cash on hand to value of $1000 or $2000 for a joint filing. A value of your personal property is its current fair market price.
Wildcard - If you do not own a home or do not claim it as an exempt Homestead you may claim a $4000 wildcard exemption. If your mortgage is greater than the value of your home this may be an avenue to pursue.
Deciding if a bankruptcy is the right option for you is a very important to you and your future. Contact a Daytona Beach Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Lawyer, who will help you decide and guide you through the entire process.
Chapter 13 of the US Bankruptcy Code is appropriately titled "Adjustment of Debts of an Individual With Regular Income". As the title implies, it was conceived to allow a debtor, who has a regular source of income, to develop a plan which would allow him to pay off his debts while maintaining a valuable asset such as is home.
All of your existing debts are consolidated in a court controlled repayment plan. You will make monthly payments to the trustee who was appointed by the court. Your creditors get paid as per your approved Chapter 13 Plan. In the process, the court can force your creditors to accept terms to allow you to pay off your debts. Under this type of bankruptcy you retain all of your assets including your home and cars.
As part of the process you will have to document your monthly expenses so that your Miami Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Lawyer can prepare the proper schedule which will be submitted and approved by the court. Repayment schedules are normally three to a maximum of five years.
The court papers that have to be completed separate unsecured debts from secure debts. It is therefore important that you know the difference between the two.
Unsecured Debts - Include any personal loans or credit cards. If your unsecured debts are in excess of $337,000 you cannot file for Chapter 13.
Secured Debts - Include those debts where there is a security interest to guarantee payment. Examples include mortgages, car loans and loans from finance companies where the object you bought is considered security. Store goods purchase using a store credit card usually means they have a security interest in your purchases.
Income and Expenses Statement must be as accurate as possible. The regulations require that all of your disposable income is paid into the Chapter 13 Plan. Disposable income is defined as the amount left over at the end of the month after paying reasonable expenses. Listing luxury items may result in the Trustee requiring that these items be sold and the proceeds used to pay your creditors. In addition the trustee will require you to submit your income tax returns for the plan period to verify the amount of your disposable income is and to demonstrate that the entire amount is being paid into the plan.
A Chapter 13 filing may be appropriate for you. Contact a Miami Bankruptcy Lawyer, who will evaluate the particulars of your case and help you decide how you should proceed.

When I left school I wanted to be a (medical) doctor and went to Oxford University to study Medicine. However, when I started learning about – and doing – research on the brain, I got interested in research and I decided to do a PhD before finishing my medical studies. I haven’t yet finished them!
My research aimed to understand the brain mechanisms of visual perception. I have published influential papers on the mechanisms of colour vision, the limits of vision, the perception of spatial structure, mechanisms of orientation-discrimination and on the analysis and perception of motion.
I was a successful academic and was Professor of Psychology at the University of Nottingham from 1993-2004. I then became head of Psychology at Newcastle and found that I really enjoyed managing academics but it didn’t leave much time for research. I decided to take management seriously and held senior positions at the University of Kent (Dean of Social Sciences) and Liverpool (Pro Vice Chancellor for Humanities and Social Sciences). I left Liverpool in 2014 and work exclusively through Parker Derrington Ltd.
With Jacqueline Aldridge, a colleague from the University of Kent, I wrote a book to help academics to decide what sort of research grants to apply for, and to write better research grant applications. I also have a blog.
