Late-game heroics lift Columbia past Oakleaf
Published: Tuesday, April 29, 2014 at 11:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 29, 2014 at 11:28 p.m.
LAKE CITY — The script seems so familiar — the Class 6A, No. 1 Columbia Tigers softball team down to their final few outs and trailing.
A week ago it was for the District 2 title. On Tuesday night, it was the Region 1 semifinals.
Both times the Tigers celebrated at the end, and Orange Park Oakleaf was left bewildered as to what had happened.
Erin Anderson, known for her pitching, has been swinging a pretty potent bat lately and her two-run single to left in the bottom of the seventh inning lifted Columbia to a dramatic 3-2 victory over the Knights.
But the real hero for the Tigers (28-1) was sophomore Tatum Morgan, the only player who had two hits in a game that totaled eight. It was her single to open the seventh for Columbia, after fouling off five pitches on a 1-2 count, that gave the Tigers hope.
"I went up wanting to hit the ball solid," Morgan said. "A base hit was all I was looking for. It was very important for me to get on. We were down 2-1 and that pitcher was very good. This is just amazing."
Down 2-1 after two errors in the top of the seventh led to an Oakleaf run, after Tatum Morgan's single, the Knights pulled starting freshman pitcher Kelsey Sweat and replaced her with Bri Surrento.
Brandy Morgan, Tatum's older sister, reached base on an infield error. A wild pitch advanced the runners to second and third with no outs. After a groundout, Anderson, who nearly homered in the fifth, hit a single to the left-center gap and the Morgan sisters reached home to set off a wild celebration.
"I work on pitching and hitting all the time," said Anderson, a junior, who has committed to Flagler College. "I haven't been hitting as much as I have been pitching. The other pitcher (Surrento) was faster and a little wilder. We felt we could hit her better.
"We just never give up. We really don't want it to end, we want to continue like last year. When I hit it over the shortstop's head, I knew it would score at least one run."
Columbia, the defending state 6A champion and ranked No. 1 for all-classifications by Miracle Sports, advances to play Jacksonville Creekside, which beat St. Augustine 1-0. Creekside was state runner-up in 5A in 2013.
"I never give up on our team," said Columbia third baseman Kayli Kvistad, a UF signee, who hit a dramatic three-run homer in the seventh with two outs and two strikes in a 4-2 win over Oakleaf in the District 2 final. "We always pull through in the last minute. I wouldn't want to play for any other team. I am so thankful we got this victory.
"Our fans are awesome. We pretty much had the whole town here supporting us."
The Tigers have won their last five meetings against the Knights (17-12).
"To beat a team four times in a season is hard to do, and being down to them, is even harder," said Columbia catcher Hollianne Dohrn, who has signed with Flagler College. "We never give up. Erin is by far my favorite pitcher to work with. She is really a clutch player."
Down 1-0 after giving up a run in top of the fifth, the Tigers answered back in the bottom frame as Brandy Morgan doubled, moved to third on Lauren Eaker's sacrifice bunt and scored on Anderson's deep blast to left that tied it at 1-1.
Columbia opened the sixth with a walk and Kayli Kvistad getting hit by a pitch, putting two runners on with no outs. A sacrifice bunt by Kamdyn Kvistad, Kayli's freshman sister, put runners at second and third with one out. But a botched suicide squeeze play resulted in a pop-up and Oakleaf turned it into a double play.
Despite that wasted opportunity, despite the errors in the top of seventh, Columbia found a way once again to find victory.
"They just don't quit on each other," said Columbia coach Jimmy Williams. "It is very hard to beat someone five straight times. We know each other so well, so the scores are going to be close.
"Tatum had the best at-bat I've seen in coaching. She kept fouling them off and fouling them off. Her at-bat gave us life. Erin almost hit one out tonight. I told her we need to put you back in lineup because we don't have enough line drive hits.
"Erin has been carrying a lot of weight for us lately."

"CPSC staff recommends that consumers never refuel a hot product as this can create a serious situation of the fuel splattering and burning those nearby," according to a CPSC statement. "Adding fuel to an open-flame is a potentially hazardous activity, with a risk of burns and uncontrolled fires."
4. Sparklers and bottle rockets
Last year, 8,600 consumers ended up in hospital emergency rooms due to injuries involving legal and illegal fireworks, according to the CPSC. From popular sparklers, bottle rockets and small firecrackers alone, 1,900 injured consumers were sent to emergency rooms last year during the 30 days surrounding July 4 celebrations.
And 40 percent of those injuries occur to children younger than 15.
"From purchase to ignition, know how you and your family can stay safe and which fireworks are allowed in your state if fireworks are part of your July 4th celebration," said CPSC chairman Inez Tenenbaum in a statement. "Never assume that a fireworks device is safe based on its size and never allow young children to play with or light fireworks. By knowing the dangers of all types of fireworks, consumers can prevent tragedies."
5. Children's Aromatherapy Kit
Who would have thought a children's toy intended to bring peace and calm could have "explosion and projectile hazards?"
In October, the CPSC, in cooperation with toy company JAKKS Pacific, reannounced the recall of 516,000 Spa Factory Aromatherapy Fountain & Bath Benefits Kits, originally recalled in January 2009.
As of October 2010, the CPSC received 100 reports of exploding jars of JAKKS' Bath Bombs/Balls or Bath Fizzies, including 26 injuries to children. The injuries included irritated eyes, skin and one eye injury.
The CPSC advises consumers should immediately take the toy's jars and caps without vent holes away from children, dispose of any jar lids without vent holes and contact JAKKS Pacific to receive free jar lids with vent holes.
Contact JAKKS toll-free at (877) 875-2557 between 7:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, visit the firm's website at www.myspafactory.com or email the firm at email@example.com

My nine year old sons and I have just spent the past two nights at Hotel Tornese, Marina di Cecina, Italy. Unless you want your visit to a perfectly charming, Tuscan coastline village ruined by your hotel stay, DO NOT BOOK INTO THIS HOTEL!
When we arrived to check in, there were two ladies at the front desk, deeply engrossed in personal conversation. After I stood in front of them for at least five minutes, they turned their attention to me with a shared look as if I had just drowned their puppy. That should have been my warning. They were brusque and totally devoid of smiles, greetings, pleases or welcomes. I speak Italian, but that did not gain me any favors. During our two night stay, I dealt with six members of the staff. There was not a smile to be had amongst them.
After that experience, we found our room. It could not have been more unlike the photos on the hotel's website. Every photo on their site shows clean, modern rooms, most with balconies overlooking the sea. We had a tiny, dingy room with an obstructed view of the parking lot. Their website is completely deceiving. From the outside of the building, there could only be two out of the forty-two rooms that might resemble the photos. There was scarcely room to walk around the beds in our "deluxe triple". The bathroom was old, moldy and the shower rod fell down each time we used it. I asked to be moved to a room that somewhat resembled their website and they told me they were fully-booked.
But I have yet to mention the real problems! We chose this hotel because of the sea views (not available), the free internet in the rooms and the air conditioning (and because it is rated #1 in Cecina on TripAdvisor--come on gang, let's be a bit more discriminating!).
The internet did not work at all the first day. I telephoned the front desk several times and made as many visits. The rude staff simply stated that I did not know what I am doing.......Finally, 24 hours into our stay, the manager informed me that the hotel's password had been changed and that I had been given the wrong one. No apologies. Even then, the WiFi connection dropped out every five minutes or so......
Then, there is the LACK of air conditioning. Our room was so hot the first night, not one of us could sleep. The next morning, as we headed out for the day, I pleaded for a technician to check our room's air conditioner (individual units but controlled at the front desk). When we returned to the room on our second afternoon, it was still sweltering. With another trip to the front desk, I convinced the manager to come with me to the room. He entered and pronounced that the room was perfectly normal and was no more than 21 degrees centigrade. He then said he would send his technician with a thermometer to prove me wrong! Charming. The technician arrived about an hour later and the thermometer showed 30 degrees. The technician dragged in a ladder and proceeded to dismantle the unit. He was a "guest" in our room for the next two hours with no regard for the inconvenience to us. My sons missed their much needed nap and we all missed our dinner reservation (I wasn't going to leave this man alone in our room).
This morning, we were anxious to check out. I remarked to the unsmiling lady that the technician had imposed upon us for two hours but did fix the air conditioning, proving that we were without air conditioning the first night. She declared that this was simply "impossible" and dismissed me completely. I then pointed out the problems with the internet and even the electronic gate to the paid parking. The manager joined her at this point to argue with me some more!!
I paid for the stay that defined "miserable" and vowed that I would warn fellow travelers against this unpleasant, unprofessional, third-rate hotel. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Directly on the sea, a few steps from the Tuscan hills rich in history and the famous art cities of Tuscany. A trendy hotel ideal for family holidays, romantic weekends and business stays.

Security Settings?
So what about the fact different web'app's would need different permissions to devices on your phone/pad/tab? you give one site access to you phones camera/microphone etc,
and hey presto ALL web apps have access to those items (as the browser is currently a single security point). now you can browse to any site, and in theory not know if they are listening to you, or watching you etc, or (read facebook messenger T&C) watching your every move for marketing/spying practically, purposes (one app I wont be downloading)..!
I for one will always download an app for anything I 'trust', and lock down the browsers, and having a locked down browser means no useful app would ever really work this way.

America's continuing revolution
Do the terms "American Revolution" and "War for Independence" mean the same thing? Listen to the words of our founders:
Benjamin Rush, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, said in 1787: "There is nothing more common than to confound the terms of American Revolution with those of the late American war. The American war is over, but this is far from the case with the American Revolution. On the contrary, nothing but the first act of the great drama is closed."

Linear Acoustic Upmixing and Loudness Correction Add Speed, Power to RadiantGrid⢠Platform
Integration of Linear Acoustic Technologies Into Media Transformation Platform Automates Conforming of Audio, Dramatically Reduces Turnaround Times
LANCASTER, Pa. â April 15, 2009 â Linear Acoustic has partnered with RadiantGrid Technologies, a provider of enterprise-level media transformation and workflow software for the broadcast market, to incorporate the renowned Linear Acoustic upMAX⢠upmixing algorithm and loudness correction into the RadiantGrid⢠Platform. Enhanced with Linear Acoustic technology, the RadiantGrid Platform provides broadcasters with a fast, highly automated solution for producing compelling 5.1-channel surround sound while addressing the loudness issues that are distracting for television viewers.
âBroadcasters face numerous challenges today in producing high-quality audio and video for their viewers; unfortunately, these processes can be both time-consuming and demanding on resources,â? said Tim Carroll, founder and president of Linear Acoustic. âNow, the RadiantGrid Platform combines automated video processing with Linear Acoustic upmixing and loudness control â all performed within a streamlined and highly efficient workflow that requires little or no operator intervention.â?
âOur unique partnership with Linear Acoustic brings full automation to the RadiantGrid Platform,â? said Kirk Marple, president and chief software architect of RadiantGrid Technologies. âBy incorporating Linear Acoustic technology into our media transformation platform, we enable broadcasters to realize a dramatic reduction in the time required to conform audio content. This process once took a day to complete, as the video signal was taken offline, brought online, and taken offline again in a repetitive and time-consuming workflow. Now, with the integration of our processing solutions, broadcasters can conform audio far more quickly in an automated, template-based environment.â?
The RadiantGrid Platform combines workflow management, multiplatform transcoding, storage management, metadata indexing, and file-based ingestion into a scalable, extensible, future-proof solution that manages the media transformation lifecycle for companies of any size. The Linear Acoustic upMAX algorithm enables delivery of compelling 5.1-channel audio with complete downmix compatibility and bypasses upmixing when applied content is already 5.1 channels. AEROMAX processing provides ITU BS.1770 compliant loudness control as well as selectable multiband, multistage dynamic range control for content destined for devices such as mobile, hand-held, or streaming decoder which may require more tightly controlled audio.
Linear Acoustic and RadiantGrid will be showing the combined solution for the first time at the 2009 NAB Show at booths N1725 (Linear Acoustic) and SL10105 (RadiantGrid at SAN Solutions).

Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 Review
With the absolute barrage of Samsung Android devices having been released this summer, fall, and on into the winter, you'd think that they'd just skip sending out the Galaxy Player 5.0 altogether - it being a device essentially released internationally several months ago. Instead they're releasing it relatively silently in a way that wont defeat the iPod as many have said it would be aiming to do, but will fill the void where Samsung simply hasn't had a wi-fi only handheld media player before. Will it sell for what it is, or will it fall at the hands of its own much more impressive smartphone lineup?

Opera - Hungarian State Opera House - Magyar Állami Operaház, Budapest
58 Reviews
58 Reviews
The Hungarian State Opera House was built in 1864. It is the heart of Hungarian Music. t was designed and built in Renaissance style according to the plans of Miklós Ybl. . Underneath the risalit is a drive-in entrance for cars and carriages. The statues of Ferenc Liszt and Ferenc Erkel, outstanding contributors to Hungary's musical life, can be seen on either side of the risalit. Both statues are the work of Alajos Stróbl. Between the Corinthian columns are statues of the Muses. Beyond the main entrance is the vestibule, decorated with allegorical frescoes from Bertalan Székely, and at the entrance to the foyer are landscapes from Árpád Feszty. The ceiling of the horseshoe-shaped three storey auditorium is decorated with the paintings of Károly Lotz. The Opera House was reopened after reconstruction in 1984, the year of its centenary.
This is the Opera house. Yes, it is built during the empire years, not as big one as Vienna but still big and beautiful enough. I can't remember precisely, but it was special designed and one of its kinds.
Along the fantastic Andrassy you can find on your right the nice Opera Theatre. It has got a Italian neo-reinassance facade, buit by Ybl in 1875-1884 with many statues on the facade. The balcony on the façade has baluster railings, with an arcaded driveway underneath. In the niches on both sides of the driveway stand the statues of Ferenc Liszt , made by Strobl, and Ferenc Erkel, creator of Hungarian national opera and the first director of the Opera House. The statues on the corner projections, between the Corinthian half columns, represent Terpsichore, Erato, Thalia and Melpomene, the Muses of dance love-poetry, comedy and tragedy. Now in the theatre seating 2,500 spectators, was rebuilt as a modern opera house and concert hall in the course of reconstruction work after the war
It is a great experience to see an opera or to listen a concert in this theatre.
Even if you just step inside the lobby, the Opera House is an amazing sight. In the foyer alone there are marble pillars, a black-and-white inlaid tile floor and a gorgeous gold and fresco ceiling.
But definitely don't stop at the lobby because the shows here are amazing and affordable. You can see a show for as little as $2 USD. I've been twice now and both times had great seats for $4 USD. The shows are phenomenal. You definitely won't regret these 2 hours of your trip.
It's worth mentioning that there is not much leg room in the cheaper seats (upper balcony). Not a problem for me, but could be if you're tall. I'm not sure if the more expensive seats on the floor have more legroom or not. The most expensive seat in the house is around $50 USD, still a bargain compared to some world opera houses.
Have a great time!
The Budapes Opera House, a Renaissance style building in Budapest, seats about 1600 people. The prices to see a show here are very inexpensive. For $2 you can purchase seats the center seats in the balcony.
Budapest's OPera House is located on Andrássy út - a wide boulevard lined with beautiful buildings. And yet, among all this beauty - the opera house still manages to stand out.
It's a neo-Renaissance building located in al ittle square- Parts of it were designed by one of the best Hungarian architects of the 19th century (Miklós Ybl) and decorated by artists likeb Bertalan Székely, Mór Thán and Károly Lotz. The most impressive decoarations - in my opinion only - are the little statues placed on the roof.
And did you know that Gustav Mahler had been a Director here? or that Puccini directed the premiere of two of his operas here? it seems that the Budapest Opera is one of the best reknown in Europe.
The Budapest Opera House designed by M. Ybl was opened in 1884. The state-of-the-art standards of the building illustrated by the hydraulic stage machinery installed here for the first time in the world. The imaginatively arranged interior space of the eclectic building present a marvelous view.
The Opera House is one of the finest in the world. It was built in 1884 and was designed by famous Hungarian architect Miklos Ybl. Check out the foyer and staircase while you are there to see some amazing decorations.
Attending a performance here would be an experience nobody would forget. Check the website for more details, or visit the box office during your trip.
Guided tours are available daily. Admission is charged. Photography is prohibited.
You can take a tour inside of this building...unfortunatley our budget couldnt stretch to it, but I heard from various people that its amazing inside.
The outside of the building is beautiful....the building began in 1875 and is Italian Renaissance in style.
The Opera House was designed and built in Renaissance style according to the plans of Miklós Ybl. It was Ferenc Erkel who conducted the inaugural concert in 1884.
The statues of Ferenc Liszt and Ferenc Erkel, outstanding contributors to Hungary's musical life, can be seen on either side of the risalit. Both statues are the work of Alajos Stróbl.
Inside decorations (allegorical frescoes) are made by famous hungarian artist Bertalan Szekely, and at the entrance to the foyer are landscapes from Arpad Feszty (who also made the famous Feszty "round-picture" about the incoming of Hungarians to the Carpathian Bassin).
The ceiling of the horseshoe-shaped three storey auditorium is decorated with the paintings of Károly Lotz. The Opera House was reopened after reconstruction in 1984, the year of its centenary.
What would you do the first evening?
We went to the opera. Instead of paying
a ticket for a guided tour we went for the real
thing. A performance. I heard that the Opera
house was very beautiful.
It is in Italian renaissance style.
On one side of the entrance you can find a
statue of Liszt and the other Ferenc Erkel
who was the first director of the opera.
All the other figures in the facade are muzes.
Muses of the dance , poetry comedy...
The 16 figures on top are important composers.
The interior is overpowering.
1300 persons can have a seat in this building.
In 1983 , when the building turned 100 it was
completely renovated.
I really think you need to see it from the inside.
The picture is the gigantic chandelier surrounded
by a painting with apollo and Olympus.
I'll add a nightlife tip on how to book.
Of course, this was an absolut must see for me, as a ballet dancer. But, neverthless it is really a beautiful building and definitely worth seeing. If you don't have the oportunity to go and watch some preformances, take an organized tour to see it from the inside. It is really magnificant. I had that luck to actually go and see two big ballet Gala's- one from european nordic countries and one from Miami. During summer there are lots of cultural summer festivals and if you have the possibility go and see something.
Completed in 1884 after nine years of construction. One of the most beautiful opera houses in the world but unfortunately they don't allow photos inside (go to the website below). There was no performance when I was there but they said the most expensive box in the house is $70 and the average seat is $25.
You have to see it on a tour. Those run on the hour in the late afternoon.
The impressive Hungarian State Opera House also stands on Andrassy Utca. This building is one of the most beautiful opera houses in the world, built in 1884.
It´s smaller than the Staatsoper in Vienna, but, in my opinion, more beatiful.
El impresionante edificio de la Opera Húngara, también se encuentra en la Avenida Andrassy. Este edificio de opera es uno de los más bellos del mundo y fue construído en 1884. Es más pequeño que la Opera de Viena, pero en mi opinión, es más bello
Even if your stay in Budapest is short, a visit to the beautiful Opera House is a must. Do your best to catch a performance, any performance, during your stay. The exterior is impressive although difficult to appreciate because of the difficulty in getting a good view. But it is the interior, and especially the performance hall itself that is most impressive. If you cannot catch one of the wonderful opera, ballet, or other performances during your stay, make sure to take the informative tour. The Opera House, built in 1884 in Renaissance style and designed by Miklos Ybl, has an interesting history, and is supposedly has the second most perfect acoustics of all Operas, to the one in Milan. Gustav Mahler, my favorite composer (!), was director of the Budapest Opera for a time. The performance ticket office is through the main entrance and to your left. Use the outer entrance to the right for tours, which take place at 3PM and 4PM daily.
A tip about seating at the Opera House: if you select box seats for a performance, make sure they are in the first row in the box. Unlike other opera houses, the second and third rows of seating in each box are not elevated, so your view will be obstructed by those in front of you. If you cannot get a front row of a box, you are better off anywhere in the orchestra section on the floor.

BMW Group Middle East conducted a survey amongst male and female 18-23 year old university students across the UAE. Findings concluded that there is a significant need for education on road safety awareness within this target audience as 55% of students admitted to never or only occasionally wearing a seatbelt, while almost 70% see it as necessary to wear a seatbelt only if sitting in the front. Even less safety is practiced by young drivers to ensure that their passengers are protected in an accident with 57% neglecting to insist that passengers buckle up. These alarming findings come despite almost all of the respondents knowing someone who has been involved in a road accident.
This year's BMW Group Middle East road safety campaign is again supported by the Health Authority – Abu Dhabi (HAAD), the Road and Transport Authority of Dubai (RTA). The initiative will also be joined by the Higher Colleges of Technology Universities (HCT), the largest higher educational institution in the UAE delivering a wide range of quality programs to over 19,000 Emirati students, and will aim to raise road safety awareness with particular focus on the importance of using seatbelts. The campaign will involve a roadshow moving through the HCT campuses in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Al Ain and Sharjah to tangibly display to university students the devastating effects of not practicing safe driving.
According to the "Global status report on road safety" published in June 2009 by the World Health Organization (WHO), road traffic injuries are the leading cause of death worldwide amongst people between the ages of 15 and 29 years with over 50% of global mortality due to road traffic injuries occurring amongst people aged between 15 and 44 years.
Dr. Joerg Breuer, Managing Director, BMW Group Middle East, said, "Education on road safety in the region must be a sustained and united effort. We all have a role to play – the government, automotive companies and the general public. The more people who know how to protect themselves on the roads the less likely they are to suffer severe or even fatal road traffic injuries. As part of our commitment to continue the improvement of road safety, we are launching phase two of our 'Stay Alert. Stay Alive.' campaign together with our importer partners, AGMC and Abu Dhabi Motors to encourage everyone to buckle up, every time."
The inaugural stage of the 'Stay Alert. Stay Alive.' campaign was launched in the UAE last year with a focus on educating the public about the importance of using appropriate safety restraints while travelling by car, particularly those for children. The campaign was a resounding success with over 3,000 child safety booster seats distributed to parents throughout two public awareness events and the initiative winning second place in the RTA Sustainable Transport Award in 2010.
To prove the effectiveness of last year's campaign, BMW Group Middle East conducted an independent survey of over 300 participants from last year's 'Stay Alert. Stay Alive.' events. The survey helped identify how the campaign was perceived by the public and if the educational phase had produced lasting effects. Over 82% of surveyed said they use the BMW child booster seats they were given. However, of those who did not use the booster seat, 28% said it was because their child did not like to be restrained, again highlighting that further education is needed on the vital role safety restraints play in saving lives.
Although the rate of road fatalities in the Abu Dhabi Emirate dropped by 17.4% in 2010 compared with 2009, the number of needless deaths and injuries is still too high. According to HAAD, 375 people, including 39 children (age 0-17), died of road traffic injuries in Abu Dhabi in 2010. This accounts for 68% of all deaths from injuries and therefore makes road traffic injuries the leading cause of injury death and the second overall cause of death in the Abu Dhabi Emirate.
The UAE still has one of the world's highest rates of road death – an average incidence of 19.9 deaths per 100,000 population in the last 3 years (2008-2010). According to a new study released by Abu Dhabi Dept. of Transport in April 2011 total costs caused by road traffic crashes and injuries in the UAE have been estimated to account for around Dhs3.5bn annually.
According to Dr. Jens Thomsen, Section Head Occupational and Environmental Health, HAAD, "The vast majority (74%) of these road traffic fatalities are caused by human factors, such as speeding, not using the seat belt and child safety restraints and reckless driving, e.g. tailgating, sudden lane changes, not keeping a safe distance and other forms of unsafe driving. This demonstrates the importance for continuously conducting road safety awareness and behavioural change campaigns and we are therefore fully supporting BMW Middle East Group in their endeavour to reduce the burden of these injuries on the health sector and the community."
The 'Stay Alert. Stay Alive.' road safety awareness days will be held at various HCT colleges throughout October and November in partnership with BMW Group importers Abu Dhabi Motors, AGMC, HAAD and the RTA. Further child backless booster seats will also be distributed to the general public visiting BMW Group showrooms to continue the message of road safety to parents and their children.

Well, the Store still has a variation of that view (on the top of each category for example).That was the only thing I liked about iTunes when I used it a long time ago.
I actually thought that would be even more enhanced seeing is touch screen is so big now.
That feature would have been quite slick on a tablet.

The interview questions Google asks prospective engineers are tough.
We've gathered a new group of questions (and answers) from MyCareerStacks.
Unlike some of the other Google interview questions you've seen in the past, these are more computational and logic-based.
If you want to prepare for an interview at Google, or just see if you have what it takes, you should test yourself with these questions. They will probably pop up in some form during the recruiting process.
Good luck trying to answers these.

I need to reduce my images to as much as possible without loosing quality. I´ve heared somewhere that fireworks could do this in a better way than for example photoshop. Is this true, does anyone know of any other program that does this?
Although I've found Fireworks to be better at optimizing file sizes on PNG files, it does not do so consistently. I usually go with Fireworks simply because it is my preferred design app over Photoshop. In cases where I need my PNGs to be as small as possible, I use the web-based http://punypng.com/. It almost always reduces file sizes over what Fireworks spits out, sometimes by as much as 40%. |
If you're using a Mac I'd recommend http://imageoptim.com since you just drag and drop the files. It saves the files in its original location. For Windows on Adobe AIR some people seem to like Shrink O'Matic - http://toki-woki.net/p/Shrink-O-Matic/ The problem with Photoshop and Fireworks is that you have to see the optimisation potential yourself and a lossless optimiser is more efficient. |

As the sprawling Zaatari camp evolves into an informal city — with an economy and even gentrification — aid workers say camps can be potential urban incubators that benefit host countries like Jordan.

This is an intriguing article that explores the difficulties of forced migrations that arise from civil war, but it also looks at city planning as refugee camps are established to make homes for the displaced. These camps have become into de-facto cities. The maps, videos and photographs embedded in the article show the rapid development of these insta-cities which organically have evolved to fit the needs of incoming refugees. Size not investing in permanent infrastructure has some serious social, sanitation and financial cost, there are some efforts to add structure to the chaos, to formalize the informal. Truly this is a fascinating case study of in urban geography as we are increasingly living on what Mike Davis refers to as a "Planet of Slums."

This series of pictures shows the extremely rapid growth of Dubai. An extremely wealthy city, the oil richness of Dubai has allowed for it to grow at an unprecedented rate from a desert to a sprawling metropolis. Such an impressive city springing up in a desolate desert speaks to how much resources can dictate where and how city growth occurs.

Dubai has drastically changed throughtout it's time before the globalization boom and was one of the only cities to be impacted positively by globalization. As you can see from the depiction that Dubai in 1991 was a deserted place and then in 2005 it transformed into becoming somewhat of a city. In 2012 this city drastically transformed in order to help the globalization process and the whole city in general was trasformed into a mega city.

Essay #3 for the AP Human Geography 2013 exam focused on how railroads and highways impacted the size and form of U.S. cities. Andy Baker, one of the great readers on that question has put together an interactive map filled with tangible examples of how Indianapolis' land use history has been heavily influenced by the railroads and highways.

I was very exited by the work being done by Bimal Mendis and Joyce Hsiang. I hear to much on the news and in conversation about over population, energy shortages and brutal living conditions. Creating a digital interactive medium is the most efficient way to educate the internet consuming public about issues and developments all over the world. It reminds me of the blue marble picture taken from Apollo 17, the first full color image of our planet. This image is considered to be the defining moment that awoke the conservation movement and understanding that the earth is our home and should be treated as such. I cant help hoping a program like "the city of seven billion" will help people to relies we are all one species and from that develop a move beneficial way of coexisting.

This TED Talk presents some very forward-thinking ideas on urban planning. With cities becoming more and more packed it is important to rethink the way we live and work in cities. Space saving technologies like the fold-up cars and small, changeable apartments seem futuristic but doable. This video challenges the viewer to think about the form and function of cities in new ways. Moving into the future it is important to adapt to the growing congestion in cities by applying new technologies with flexible designs that make cities more livable. I think that the smart apartments are an innovative solution but unlikely to catch on any time soon. I think that the folding cars are more likely to catch on because so many people already use the tiny smart cars and car-sharing services like zip-car are gaining in popularity.

I appreciate what this guy is saying. I wish we could build places worth caring about. We need more people like Mr Kunstler. But I don't things are as bleak as he depicts. He picked some of the ugliest places there are. We do need a sense of place. Right now we get that in our homes. I think what Mr Kunstler is talking about is a community based sense of place that could be created just with the kind of buildings we make in the space. Maybe we could create a friendly atmosphere with well designed buildings. We need to start somewhere to make people not so afraid of each other.
Kenny Dominguez's curator insight,
December 12, 2013 12:44 AM
Everyone in the world should care about places if it is small or not known but a place has it own character that some people enjoy while other do not want to know about. Every place has it significance that many people have not noticed because they are blinded to it. People should really have an open mind when it comes down to experiencing new places and learn about its history or anything that you did not know about it. |

The pictures show the deep divide between rich and poor in Mexico. These settlements are built to the point where luxurious condos share a wall with decaying slum housing. The roads do not connect the areas, showing how these places were constructed separately by to distinctly different communities. While the proximity between sections shows that sights, sounds, and smells most likely carry across the two sections, the rich area looks as if it has no idea what lies directly beyond their walls. The fact that the rich areas are literally walled off from the rest of the surrounding area says a lot about the deep economic divides found around the world today.
Alyssa Dorr's curator insight,
December 16, 2014 9:02 AM
Right away from looking at this picture, you can tell which side is which. I didn't even have to read the article yet to find out where the wealthier people lived and where the not so wealthy lived. The colors stood out the most to me. In the picture on the left, it is clear that this is the not so wealthy part in Mexico. The color is just filled with dark and gloominess, mostly shown in gray. The houses are also pushed very closely together. On the right side, it appears that this is the richer side of Mexico. Although the houses are closer together like the picture on the left, they are colorful. They have firm built roofs and appear to be built and taken care of much better. Something else that gives you the sense of which community is more rich is the cars. There is a whole line of cars in the right picture while in the left picture we see a few here and there. The right picture also illustrates lawns. We slightly see some grass in the left, but it is clearly not as well taken care of as the lawns in the right picture. This picture was done as an advertisement to draw attention to the gap between the two different communities. The campaign goes by the name "Erase the Differences" and hopes to get people to realize the differences in poverty that are right in front of them.

October 12, 2013 5:45 PM
I have been using Google Earth to check out a few different areas that I have and have not been to, particularly Washington D.C./Maryland, which I visited last month for the first time. I thought it was truly awesome and loved all the subtle differences as well as the larger and more obvious differences from RI. This Observatory is pretty interesting, and doesn't limit your observations to strictly visual perceptions, unlike most Astrological Observatories. It is a compendium of knowledge, information, and facts that define and characterize, categorize and redefine areas of the world. This seems like something out of Minority Report or Deja Vu (two really good sci-fi movies with visual observation technology that looks through time), both because of its appearance, and because of its general function. It also reminds me of some stuff that I've seen in the 1967 "The Prisoner" series, which really blew my mind about sociological portayals of the occasionally subversive human condition from entirely oppressing parties and circumstances. Hopefully this information will, as comes with great power, be treated with great responsibility... For all our sakes.

Ironically, some land use patterns become more visible as the sun goes down. There are some sharp borders in this image of Toronto that was taken by the Canadian astronaut, Chris Hadfield and it is a wonderful teaching image. Questions to ponder: Why is there such sharp divisions between the illuminated and obscure portions of the image? What does this sharp division say about the land use patterns? Would we see this pattern in the United States? Why or why not? What urban model(s) can help explain the spatial layout of Toronto?

In an era where globalization has rendered distances a minor barrier to diffusion, some have erroneously concluded that geography is no longer relevant to economic development and urban planning. Nothing could be farther from the truth, but that doesn't mean that the 'old rules' of space and place aren't be re-written. This is a nice article that discusses the continued importance of spatial thinking and geography for urban planning. Tags: urban, planning, economic, urbanism, globalization, unit 7 cities.

It's always important to consider an investment, especially one as great as a restaurant. Like Mr. Ruban said "be prepared to lose the money". You can't possibly foresee all the problems that will occur, but one of the best ways to increase profit is to pay attention to your demographic. Cater to the audience you wish to bring in, and do so in the right area, that will greatly increase your chances of success.
