SimpleDateFormat is not thread safe. You will get weird behavior under
high concurrency.
It cannot be static in the Global, you do have the following options:
1) make the pattern static in Global, and do a new SimpleDateFormat for
each get.
2) make the SimpleDateFormat static in Visit, since you can be assured for
the most part that it will not be accessed by multiple threads at once.
