Viewing the Standard King James Version. Switch to the 1611 KJV Luke Chapter 14 or view a Luke 14 parallel comparison.
1 And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him.
2 And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy.
3 And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?
4 And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go;
5 And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day?
6 And they could not answer him again to these things.
7 And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them,
8 When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him;
9 And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.
10 But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee.
11 For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
12 Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee.
13 But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:
14 And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
15 And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.
16 Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many:
17 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.
18 And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.
19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.
20 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
21 So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.
22 And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.
23 And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
24 For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.
25 And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them,
26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?
29 Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,
30 Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
31 Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?
32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.
33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
34 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?
35 It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Luke Chapter 14 Bible commentary...
Christ heals a man on the sabbath. (1-6) He teaches humility. (7-14) Parable of the great supper. (15-24) The necessity of consideration and self-denial. (25-35)1-6 This Pharisee, as well as others, seems to have had an ill design in entertaining Jesus at his house. But our Lord would not be hindered from healing a man, though he knew a clamour would be raised at his doing it on the sabbath. It requires care to understand the proper connexion between piety and charity in observing the sabbath, and the distinction between works of real necessity and habits of self-indulgence. Wisdom from above, teaches patient perseverance in well-doing.
7-14 Even in the common actions of life, Christ marks what we do, not only in our religious assemblies, but at our tables. We see in many cases, that a man's pride will bring him low, and before honour is humility. Our Saviour here teaches, that works of charity are better than works of show. But our Lord did not mean that a proud and unbelieving liberality should be rewarded, but that his precept of doing good to the poor and afflicted should be observed from love to him.
15-24 In this parable observe the free grace and mercy of God shining in the gospel of Christ, which will be food and a feast for the soul of a man that knows its own wants and miseries. All found some pretence to put off their attendance. This reproves the Jewish nation for their neglect of the offers of Christ's grace. It shows also the backwardness there is to close with the gospel call. The want of gratitude in those who slight gospel offers, and the contempt put upon the God of heaven thereby, justly provoke him. The apostles were to turn to the Gentiles, when the Jews refused the offer; and with them the church was filled. The provision made for precious souls in the gospel of Christ, has not been made in vain; for if some reject, others will thankfully accept the offer. The very poor and low in the world, shall be as welcome to Christ as the rich and great; and many times the gospel has the greatest success among those that labour under worldly disadvantages and bodily infirmities. Christ's house shall at last be filled; it will be so when the number of the elect is completed.
25-35 Though the disciples of Christ are not all crucified, yet they all bear their cross, and must bear it in the way of duty. Jesus bids them count upon it, and then consider of it. Our Saviour explains this by two similitudes; the former showing that we must consider the expenses of our religion; the latter, that we must consider the perils of it. Sit down and count the cost; consider it will cost the mortifying of sin, even the most beloved lusts. The proudest and most daring sinner cannot stand against God, for who knows the power of his anger? It is our interest to seek peace with him, and we need not send to ask conditions of peace, they are offered to us, and are highly to our advantage. In some way a disciple of Christ will be put to the trial. May we seek to be disciples indeed, and be careful not to grow slack in our profession, or afraid of the cross; that we may be the good salt of the earth, to season those around us with the savour of Christ.

Being a Follower and disciple of Jesus Christ, We must possess the character that Jesus has. And it is not hard to do that if we really know who we are. God created us in His IMAGE and LIKENESS..it is built in to us that we POSSESS the CHARACTER that Jesus also had.....just READ the Bible and Have Faith and Pray to God..and no doubt He will Give us Understanding and Wisdom.,,,God Bless
Insight 777's Luke Chapter 14 comment on 3/31/2015, 3:47pm...
verse 27, the cross that the followers of Jesus bear is the prayer that connects with the spirit of God. Prayer enables people to continue with faith in Jesus. Our earthy bodies are composed of elements that age and eventually die crumbling into dust. Our physical bodies contain our thoughts, our life energy, that is our life being. But this life being dies with the mortal body as there is no longer a vessel to contain it. This life being, symbolically wine, will be put in a new vessel that will never perish. The mortal body will be given an immortal body. Through prayer and connection with Jesus this fragile, expendable life energy becomes powerful spiritual energy sustained by God. Gods will and plan for man to have eternal life in love, peace and joy is a spiritual energy that is the power of the Holy Spirit. When we pray opening our mind to the divine guidance, including baptism, of Jesus then we are granted the Divine life from God which is the source of all life. Jesus died on the cross, causing it to become symbolically our tree of eternal life. Man must bear his cross realizing there is no life after the death of the body except with the resurrection of Jesus. Sharing this knowledge is building the church. Harmony in this thought and prayer builds goodwill with others and a solid foundation of love for all mankind to receive the grace of God. "According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation. " - 1 Corinthians 3.10
Motdaugrnds's Luke Chapter 14 comment on 3/26/2015, 8:51pm...
The way I understand verse 26 connects with the way I understand verse 27, i.e. Jesus is talking of the sinful nature of man. He has already told us to "honor " our parents so verse 26 cannot contradict this and I do know the "cross " we are to carry is our sinful nature. Thus, it only makes sense He is talking about that part of man, i.e. the carnal minded one, that is out of harmony with a spiritual life.

Throughout Felix Doubront's young career he has has consistently uncovered solutions to his problems via specific alterations in between starts.
There have been slight mechanical adjustments, mixing up the day he throws his bullpen sessions in between starts and even a conscious effort to not pay any attention to the radar gun readings.
But after his most recent outing -- a 2 2/3-inning horror show in which he surrendered seven runs to the Yankees -- Doubront might have made his most important change to date.
"The same night I pitched (after being pulled in the April 24 start) I was thinking out loud," Doubront said. "I don't want to worry about things like the umpires. I'm thinking too much about a lot of stuff I can't control. I listen to people who want to help, but I have to block my mind of a lot of things that do damage mentally for me."
The conclusion Doubront drew was that he was the only one who could fix things.
All the advice was nice, but in the end the lefty was the one who would have to make the ultimate commitment to switching things up.
"It's not Juan, it's just me. It's not anybody, just me," said Doubront when asked about tweaks Red Sox pitching coach Juan Nieves might have passed along.
"I was asking for help from Juan and other people, like my family, but I figured it's me who is pitching and who is doing something wrong. I don't need to ask for help. I just have to go deep into my mind to find what I'm doing wrong. At first you ask yourself what you're doing wrong and you don't think you're doing anything wrong. But then you go deeper and deeper and you figure out a lot about what you're doing wrong."
As Doubront points out, he is healthier and in better shape than when the lefty walked onto the World Series stage last October and befuddled the Cardinals with 4 2/3 innings of two-hit relief work.
But what has crept back into Doubront's pitching existence is a perceived lack of focus. The discipline he offered last season in regards to not complaining about umpires' calls or getting sidetracked by a bad bounce of a ball has been derailed this season.
Examples of the pitcher's altered mindset have been on display when runners have reached. For instance, with runners in scoring position and two outs -- with Doubront just one retired batter away from escaping jams -- he has allowed seven hits and three walks in 20 plate appearances.
"Before I was one of the best at controlling things with runners on base, but right now I'm wondering what happened to that," he said. "I'm thinking about that. But now I want to see what happens when I'm that person, where my mind locked in on pitching."
Doubront has had moments suggesting a run of excellence could still be on the way.
In three of his five starts he has allowed three runs or less (a 3.86 ERA). But, as has been the case for much of his career, such steps forward have been greeted with roadblocks, in this case starts against Texas and New York that have added up to 12 runs in a combined 5 1/3 innings.
What Doubront and the Red Sox are hoping is a repeat turnaround from last season, when he ran into a pair of early May starts that resulted in 12 runs on 23 hits over a total of nine innings. After that, however, the southpaw went on a 16-start run in which he totaled a 2.73 ERA.
"You know, it's, there's been some games where he's pitched very well for us, even in this first month," said Red Sox manager John Farrell. "To compare last year to this year, yeah, he got off to a little bit of a slow start, hit stride and then was one of the main contributors to our rotation. We fully envision him to be that guy again. He's shown flashes in April that were better than times in April of a year ago. He's going to keep getting the ball. We've got to keep doing what we can to have those in-game adjustments happen a little more readily, because the work he's following, the routine he's following, all that remains to be consistent start to start."
Farrell added, "We're hopeful that when he takes the mound [Thursday] night, we're going to get a start like we have a couple of times already this year, as we have with Clay [Buchholz] or Jake [Peavy] or Jon [Lester]. We address things as they come up. I can't sit here today and say that we're going to bump him in the rotation a turn just to address some things. We're confident he'll go out and put together a good game [Thursday]."
Much of the previous turnaround was credited to an altered approach during his time between starts. This time, however, Doubront won't be leaning on the eyes and thoughts of others.
Felix is putting in on Felix.
"Those talks have helped, but you're the one who has to fix it," he said. "Whatever the baseball gods have for me that day, I'm going to take it. But if I don't focus on the game or the right pitch, it's over for me. That's what I want to focus on, being strong the whole game. There's a lot of [stuff] that is out there and a lot of [stuff] that happens in the game. … You have to forget the past and move on. For me it's just about forgetting and resetting.
"There aren't any results yet. But I want to use that process and finish strong. I don't just want to do it [Thursday]. I want to do it for the rest of the year. I'm not panicking because I know what I've got."

A Cluster Based Approach for Network Distance Embedding
Date Added: Sep 2009
Format: PDF
Several coordinate bases embedding schemes have been proposed for scalable estimation of network distance (round trip time) among Internet hosts. These schemes may be broadly categorized into Landmark and distributed peer-to-peer based. While Landmark based approaches suffer from scalability due to the large amount of measurement loads, distributed schemes suffer from stability and accuracy issues in the presence of node churns. In this paper, the authors propose CSHE, a cluster based statistical approach for the network distance embedding that combines the stability of Landmark scheme and the scaling property of distributed approach.

Area is placed under a Tornado Watch
By mid-afternoon Sunday, the Wichita Falls area was under a potpourri of alerts from the National Weather Service.
The region was placed under a Tornado Watch from 2 p.m. until 8 p.m.
It was also under a Hard Freeze Warning Monday night as overnight temperatures were predicted to drop to 27 degrees.

Nov. 23 (Bloomberg) -- Hong Kong Disneyland, Walt Disney Co.'s first theme park in China, attracted more than 1 million visitors in its first 100 days of operation, putting it on track to achieve attendance goals, the company said.
Disney expects the Hong Kong resort to attract 5.6 million visitors in its first year, Parks and Resorts Chairman Jay Rasulo said today in an interview. The attendance numbers are the first that Burbank, California-based Disney has provided for the park since Hong Kong Disneyland opened Sept. 12.
Since the Hong Kong resort opened, 49 percent of visitors have been local residents. Twenty six percent came from mainland China and the remaining 25 percent arrived from other countries, Disney said.
``Hong Kong Disneyland has become a successful launching pad for Disney,'' said Laura Martin, an analyst at Soleil Securities Corp. in Pasadena, California, who rates the company ``buy'' and doesn't own shares. ``Success at Hong Kong Disneyland accelerates Disney putting more assets in Asia.''

I was wondering with the deluxe resorts-- which one would be the best for a family of 5 (2 adults, 3 children)? location, pools, etc.
thanks for your help
For fitting comfortably, I would recommend a few options.
A deluxe room at the Contemporary is good for a larger family. If you look at photos 19-26, you can see some photos I took.
Also, if you want a little more from the room, I would recommend a 1BR Villa at Old Key West Resort, it comes with a full kitchen, huge jacuzzi tub and it's so comfortable and removed from everything, it felt like a true vacation for us.
Here are some photos to look at if you like.
I'm sure there are other great recommendations to be found, those just happen to be my two favorite.
Good luck!
Any of the monorail resorts are a great choice. They have great locations, amenities, etc.
We love the YC/BC! My kids really enjoy the pool there, too!!
Boardwalk is a good one
Celebrating Disney's Animal Kingdom
I'll second the Yacht and Beach Club. We stayed there last summer and LOVED it. Our room was in the building closest to Epcot so it was a very short walk to the park and we were able to see the fireworks from our balcony. The room was spacious and the pool was fabulous. Plus, they had movies on the 'beach' at night.
We stayed at the Polynesian in 2004 and that was also very nice. Again, the rooms were really large and the pool area had a lot for different ages. It was a bit of a walk to the main building and the pool, but on the other hand we were in the building closest to the TTC and it was just as easy to catch the monorail there.

I know her generally accepted status as pure physical hotness, not to mention the whole lesbian thing, draw a lot of attention for many folks. However, speaking as a complete gear head, I have to say that seeing Amber unscrew the emblem on her classic 'Stang and fill 'er up with go-go juice carries with it a certain kind of inexplicable sex appeal all its own. The way she so lovingly attends to her little silver blue pony is such a refreshing change of pace from your usual Range Rover/Prius-driving hottie, setting the pump handle lock and waiting around impatiently for the tank to fill. You can sort of tell that she and her '68 have got a special relationship. I love that.

Amazon and Hachette Continue Battle
Amazon continues its battle over terms with Hachette Book Group, removing the ability to pre-order a number of titles including the new Robert Galbraith novel. They are listed as "currently unavailable" instead of the "pre-order" option.
J K Rowling's Galbraith novel, The Silkworm, and Tom Rob Smith's The Farm, are among the many titles affected by the removal of the pre-order option on Amazon. It is also reported that even the pages promoting the books have disappeared, wuch as Anne Rivers Siddons's "The Girls of August," coming in July.
Amazon and Hachette are trying to work things out.
Jeffery Deaver and James Patterson are among the authors affected by slow delivery times. On his Facebook page, Patterson said: "Currently, Amazon is making it difficult to order many books from Little, Brown and Grand Central, which affects readers of authors such as Malcolm Gladwell, Nicholas Sparks, Michael Connelly, me, and hundreds of others whose living depends on book sales. What I don't understand about this particular battle tactic is how it is in the best interest of Amazon customers. It certainly doesn't appear to be in the best interest of authors.
"More important-much more important-is the evolution/revolution that's occurring now in publishing. Small bookstores are being shuttered, book chains are going out of business, libraries are suffering enormous budget cuts, and every publisher-and the people who work at these publishing houses-is feeling a great deal of pain and stress. Ultimately, inevitably, the quality of American literature will suffer.
"If the world of books is going to change to e-books, so be it. But I think it's essential that someone steps up and takes responsibility for the future of American literature and the part it plays in our culture. Right now, bookstores, libraries, authors, and books themselves are caught in the cross fire of an economic war. If this is the new American way, then maybe it has to be changed-by law, if necessary-immediately, if not sooner."
Deaver commented, "Equally troubling to me personally Amazon has added banner ads on my page for novels of other authors in the same genre, with the none-too-subtle headline: "Similar items for a lower price."

segmented address spaceAn address space logically divided into sections, called segments. To access a particular memory location, a program must specify both the segment number and the offset within that segment. In contrast, a flat address space consists of simple memory addresses that start at 0 and increment to the maximum address.
Intel's 16-bit x86 architecture uses a segmented addressing model, and consequently so do DOS and older versions of Windows. Starting with 80386 microprocessor, however, the x86 architecture supports a flat addressing architecture. Newer versions of Windows, including Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows NT, use a flat addressing scheme. The Mac OS has always used a flat addressing model.
In some cases, it's necessary to convert from one addressing model to another. This is called thunking.

Bridgetown: Spinner Shane Shillingford claimed a six-wicket haul as West Indies eased to a nine-wicket win over Zimbabwe just after lunch on the third day of the first test in Barbados on Thursday.
Shillingford took four wickets in an extended first session as the tourists crumbled to 107 all out in their second innings, leaving the home side to knock off 12 runs to clinch a fifth successive test victory.
West Indies went 1-0 up in the two-match series with the second test in Dominica next week.
The 30-year-old Shillingford, recalled to the test arena after struggling in England last year, completed match figures of nine for 107, using his height to get good bounce on a turning wicket.
"I tried to get a consistent line first up and then try and spin the ball as much as possible at regular pace and put it in good areas," he said as he accepted the man-of-the-match award.
Zimbabwe, in trouble at 41 for three overnight, lost captain Brendan Taylor in the first over and nightwatchman Ray Price four ball later to start a rapid capitulation.
Taylor pushed a ball to short leg to be caught for just six runs and Price had his middle stump upended by pace man Kemar Roach.
Malcolm Waller followed seven overs later, having survived a dropped catch by Chris Gayle off Shillingford, when he prodded on the back foot to the tall spinner and offered Kieran Powell his fifth catch of the match at short leg.
A straight ball bowled Zimbabwe wicketkeeper Regis Chakabva for six and Denesh Ramdin took a sharp catch behind the stumps to dismiss Graeme Cremer and give Shillingford figures of 6-49.
Zimbabwe showed glimpses of competitiveness in the morning on the first two days but their lack of test cricket was exposed.
"There were not a lot of positives for us to take out of the game. It was tough," said Taylor, whose side were playing their first test in 14 months.
West Indies, needing 12 runs for victory, lost Kieran Powell cheaply before lunch but Chris Gayle and Darren Bravo took the hosts to their target shortly after the interval.

Ancient Rituals and Modern Technology
The electric and gas utility business is complex. Some say the electric grid is the most sophisticated technology in the world. Natural gas networks are not far behind. Diving deep in to the business, there is probably one of nearly every kind of technological wonder at play. Control systems, artificial intelligence, Lidar, sensor networks, augmented reality, and of course GIS. Utilities, to some extent like the space industry, drive innovation of technology. Yet overlaid with all this sparkling technology are some old patterns of behavior.
Every industry strives to improve. Utilities can improve by getting rid of old habits.
Two old behaviors linger: working in silos, and heavy reliance on institutional knowledge. Continue reading
Denver Growing Smart with Spatial Technology
I'm here in Denver, Colorado for the New Partners for Smart Growth Conference (2/13-15/2014), a perfect location for an event that illustrates the importance of triple bottom line planning that addresses the environment, the economy, and the social sphere of culture, justice, and equity.
For more than ten years, Denver has been adding light rail and commuter rail to their transportation infrastructure to help reduce traffic and improve accessibility. In the last six years or so, a lot of work has been done to revitalize historic parts of downtown to increase its vibrancy and livability. New shops and trendy restaurants have moved in; planters, trees, and artwork dot the streets; and in the summer, colorfully-painted upright pianos are randomly placed along the walking mall on 16th Street, with free bus rapid transit attracting the young and old to explore and maybe play a tune.

Urban Planning and the DNA of the City
A city looks and feels the way it does because of human intention. Early civilizations built their settlements next to waterways, designing them to accommodate this resource accessibility and their own survival. During the beginning of the industrial revolution, cities were planned with ever-evolving rules ensuring that city streets were wide enough to accommodate the full turn of a horse and carriage. In this way, the values of the people were encoded into the very DNA of the city.
A complex built environment can be reduced to three basic elements: links along which travel can occur, nodes representing the intersections where two or more paths cross and public spaces form, and buildings where most human activities take place. The functionalities of place are all defined by rules and procedures, which make up the core design vocabulary of a place. Procedural design techniques automatically generate urban designs through predefined rules which you can change as much as needed, providing room for limitless new design possibilities. Continue reading
Electric Utilities Need Answers
GIS Responds to the Tough Questions
Electric utilities face a new world–one in which the infrastructure is aging along with the workers. The price of everything keeps going up. Customers want better and faster service, but some of them cannot pay their bills. Natural disasters seem to get nastier each year. Governments continue to dole out more and more regulations. The community wants better service, lower emissions, and fewer mishaps. It's a political nightmare to raise rates. Plus, the new smart grid devices are smothering utility operators with data.
In short: utilities cannot continue to operate as they have been. Utilities need a better way to do business. GIS can help. Continue reading
USDA Adds People to Its Forest Inventory
At one time, researchers limited their forest ecosystems studies to biological and physical analysis. The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service recognizes that humans are also part of the forest ecosystem. The condition of a forest greatly depends on how people think of it and the ways they want to use it.
Dr. Richard Guldin is the acting associate deputy chief for the USDA Forest Service's research and development. In his keynote address at the Esri Forestry GIS Conference in May 2013, Guldin explained the role of GIS in tracking the health, productivity, and diversity of the nation's forests. Continue reading
Sharing Information to Support Smart Grid
I recently co-presented a session on GIS and the Smart Grid to a group of about 150 folks from the gas and electric utilities and the telecommunications businesses. We thought it might be interesting to have the groups come together since as more and more utilities implement Smart Grid (electric and gas), there will become greater interdependencies on one another. We further thought that this session would be a great opportunity for each company to tell us their current practices on sharing data, problems and issues. The premise was, of course, that since ArcGIS is a platform which facilitates sharing of information, that both groups could give us feedback on how best to facilitate collaboration. Much to our surprise, the groups do not have much collaboration at all. In fact, they hadn't really considered it very seriously. When I probed them further, I asked, well how do you share information with each other? One utility guy, perhaps, half-jokingly said that he bought his friend from the phone company a beer and that's when they shared information.
The biggest take away from this session was this: the discussion on this topic hasn't really started. It should. Continue reading

After the Storm
The outbreak of bad weather that has plagued the US over the past few weeks has created a significant need for access to location data and pre- and post-event map imagery. I was recently on a call with a former colleague who was looking for the latest post-event imagery. He described how imagery and other recently available features of ArcGIS Online, Esri's cloud-based mapping platform, were having a significant impact on streamlining their claims workflow and efforts to effectively align field resources.

The Role of GIS in Sustainable Economies
The goal of sustainable planning, policies, and governance is to design processes that return our planet to a more balanced level of use. To do so we must realign our values and earth's ability to support them. The success of this effort is dependent upon a foundation of science, a means of collaboration, and the implementation of sustainable polices and administration. GIS is an essential tool for designing and implementing sustainable processes at a scale ranging from local to global.
People around the world continue to compile scientific data about resources, ecosystems, and human impact. GIS enables us to visualize and analyze these massive collections of data. Establishing a base for determining cause and effect, GIS tracks ecological change and provides chains of evidence of human impact. It tracks people's land use, methods of resource extraction, and peripheral activities, such as supporting road networks. GIS manages large databases, depicts and prioritizes problems, models scenarios of both positive and negative practices, and predicts environmental outcomes. It provides the quantified information and analytical capabilities required for making location-based decisions that increase economic efficiencies and reduce consumption and contamination.

El Salvador - Last active: 20 hours ago - Tests: 9 - Portfolio: 7
I have a degree in Business and Economics and work part time doing cost projections, accounting, process streamlining and assisting the administration of a large janitorial company in San Salvador, El Salvador. I excel at writing down processes and business plans, and I'm helping the aforementioned company implement procedures under the ISO 9001 norm. I'm well adept at using MS Excel, Access, and Visio as tools for my work. I'm also trilingual: I know English, Spanish, and French, with knowledge of basic Mandarin as well (it's a work in progress). Languages are a passion, so I often tutor friends/acquaintances wanting to learn Spanish/English in my free time and enjoy translating in general. Studying for my degree and taking courses in photography, culinary arts, gardening, and music in English, Spanish, and French has expanded my vocabulary in these three languages, enabling me to be a fast and accurate translator, with impeccable writing style (I use Strunk & White for English). As a curious fact about me, I enjoy classical music (opera) and have been training almost 4 years to sing it. So I'm also up for the odd singing or voice-over job.

Callie's Rules for Things to Do in Middle School:
• Have lots of pictures in your phone.
• Get a phone.
Callie Jones is excited about her first day of sixth grade, but from the moment she arrives and is greeted by dirty looks (apparently, you don't ride your bike to middle school), she realizes that there are a set of unwritten rules that everyone seems to know—everyone except her. So Callie decides she'll write a list of the rules, and she'll never go wrong again.
At home, Callie's close-knit family is making big Halloween plans, until the parents of snotty Valeri Van Dine convince the Town Council to cancel Halloween and replace it with Autumn Fest, a celebration of wholesome "American" values.
Callie doesn't think their arguments make much sense, and the Council keeps making rules so they don't have to listen. So Callie decides it's time to make some rules of her own.
Ages 8–12
"Wait until you meet Callie and her family. They're warm and appealing, but mostly they're unusual. They stand up for what they believe in, no matter what! I loved them all, even the dragon!"

The hit was fine. It's the way the Cleveland Browns reacted after free safety Tashaun Gipson leveled Buffalo Bills quarterback EJ Manuel during the third quarter Thursday night that had Bills center Eric Wood fired up today in the locker room. "The hit was fine. What ticked me off was the way they acted afterwards" Wood said late this morning a little over 12 hours after the Bills were defeated 37-24 in FirstEnergy Stadium. "I hope our defense never acts like that when they injure an opposing quarterback because you know you've got to show some class in that situation. There's a few guys over there that obviously didn't." Gipson made direct contact with Manuel's right knee which the Bills' quarterback immediately reached for. After getting up Gipson looked right at Manuel and gave an emphatic fist pump. Wood said Browns strong safety T.J. Ward made it clear they were targeting Manuel. "You've got T.J Ward yelling at Kiko [Alonso] you know former college teammates 'I told you to...
