Garden as Process
Is a particular plant a weed? Is a garden a work of art? And who gets to decide? If you've read our recent rantings, you've likely noticed these questions do not have simple answers. The answers vary, depending on the gardener. Many gardeners (like me) learn their land slowly.

Interim state Superintendent of Education Lynn House walks softly, with an approachable style and a calm, steady demeanor. But she's swinging a big stick these days, tackling education reform in Mississippi - a state that needs it badly - with tough words
Our high school model is broken, she says.
And it is relying upon a model dating back hundreds of years as Dr. House notes.
The problem: one size doesn't fit all.
The primary focus in most high schools is on preparing students for traditional four-year colleges. Little focus is placed on career development. The idea, at most, is to give students college prep and get the test scores high, and let them figure out later in college what they want to do professionally in life.
But one thing we've learned in this 21st century economy is that career planning is no longer something we need to take for granted, as a state, as educators, and as parents and students. As Dr. House notes, it should start early, in schools, to give students options that can lead to better employment and more valuable education.
With a better trained workforce, Mississippi has in turn a more viable economic future.
Call it a win-win.
"As the Gov. (Phil Bryant) has said, we could put welders in a job today if we had them," Dr. House said.
Gov. Bryant, like Dr. House, has been talking about the importance of workforce training. She wants to jump-start it through early education, "laying out options" for students to help them understand the benefits of such jobs including demand and high wages and how the profession can be achieved.
Dr. House used her family as an example of how technical training, which can be better coordinated through Mississippi's strong community college system, serves many individuals well. Among four children in her family, Dr. House said she was the "perpetual student," obtaining multiple degrees including a Ph. D.
But her three brothers, she said, were more drawn to technical careers. They approached it with the same vigor, she said, and the result has been they have earned good livings and years of professional happiness.
Too many students in Mississippi don't realize that opportunity exists, however. Too many feel like a failure in school when they see that the curriculum to the traditional, liberal arts four-year college or university does not interest them. They don't see a path to benefit from school, so they underperform, or worse, dropout, becoming another statistic.
And some do fine academically, but wind up unemployed or underemployed with thousands of dollars in debt after spending four years at liberal arts college pursuing an education instead of a career simply because that's what they thought they were supposed to do. Instead, a technical path might have served them better.
Take Nissan as an example. Mississippi's Canton-based manufacturer is one of the better-paying employers in the region yet many employees don't have four-year college degrees. Most have thorough technical training, exactly what Dr. House is talking about.
Our schools, Dr. House correctly says, should help reveal to students path options at an earlier age - before it's too late.

Article: Improved Neuropsychological and Neurological Functioning Across Three Antiretroviral Regimens in Diverse Resource-Limited Settings: AIDS Clinical Trials Group Study A5199, the International Neurological Study[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: AIDS Clinical Trials Group (ACTG) A5199 compared the neurological and neuropsychological (NP) effects of 3 antiretroviral regimens in participants infected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) in resource-limited settings. Participants from Brazil, India, Malawi, Peru, South Africa, Thailand, and Zimbabwe were randomized to 3 antiretroviral treatment arms: A (lamivudine-zidovudine plus efavirenz, n = 289), B (atazanavir, emtricitabine, and didanosine-EC, n = 293), and C (emtricitabine-tenofovir-disoproxil fumarate plus efavirenz, n = 278) as part of the ACTG PEARLS study (A5175). Standardized neurological and neuropsychological (NP) screening examinations (grooved pegboard, timed gait, semantic verbal fluency, and finger tapping) were administered every 24 weeks from February 2006 to May 2010. Associations with neurological and neuropsychological function were estimated from linear and logistic regression models using generalized estimating equations. The median weeks on study was 168 (Q1 = 96, Q3 = 192) for the 860 participants. NP test scores improved (P < .05) with the exception of semantic verbal fluency. No differences in neurological and neuropsychological functioning between treatment regimens were detected (P > .10). Significant country effects were noted on all NP tests and neurological outcomes (P < .01). The study detected no significant differences in neuropsychological and neurological outcomes between randomized ART regimens. Significant improvement occurred in neurocognitive and neurological functioning over time after initiation of ARTs. The etiology of these improvements is likely multifactorial, reflecting reduced central nervous system HIV infection, better general health, and practice effects. This study suggests that treatment with either of the World Health Organization -recommended first-line antiretroviral regimens in resource-limited settings will improve neuropsychological functioning and reduce neurological dysfunction.

Article: Nevirapine- Versus Lopinavir/Ritonavir-Based Initial Therapy for HIV-1 Infection among Women in Africa: A Randomized Trial[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Nevirapine (NVP) is widely used in antiretroviral treatment (ART) of HIV-1 globally. The primary objective of the AA5208/OCTANE trial was to compare the efficacy of NVP-based versus lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r)-based initial ART. In seven African countries (Botswana, Kenya, Malawi, South Africa, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe), 500 antiretroviral-naïve HIV-infected women with CD4<200 cells/mm(3) were enrolled into a two-arm randomized trial to initiate open-label ART with tenofovir (TDF)/emtricitabine (FTC) once/day plus either NVP (n = 249) or LPV/r (n = 251) twice/day, and followed for ≥48 weeks. The primary endpoint was time from randomization to death or confirmed virologic failure ([VF]) (plasma HIV RNA<1 log(10) below baseline 12 weeks after treatment initiation, or ≥400 copies/ml at or after 24 weeks), with comparison between treatments based on hazard ratios (HRs) in intention-to-treat analysis. Equivalence of randomized treatments was defined as finding the 95% CI for HR for virological failure or death in the range 0.5 to 2.0. Baseline characteristics were (median): age = 34 years, CD4 = 121 cells/mm(3), HIV RNA = 5.2 log(10)copies/ml. Median follow-up = 118 weeks; 29 (6%) women were lost to follow-up. 42 women (37 VFs, five deaths; 17%) in the NVP and 50 (43 VFs, seven deaths; 20%) in the LPV/r arm reached the primary endpoint (HR 0.85, 95% CI 0.56-1.29). During initial assigned treatment, 14% and 16% of women receiving NVP and LPV/r experienced grade 3/4 signs/symptoms and 26% and 22% experienced grade 3/4 laboratory abnormalities. However, 35 (14%) women discontinued NVP because of adverse events, most in the first 8 weeks, versus none for LPV/r (p<0.001). VF, death, or permanent treatment discontinuation occurred in 80 (32%) of NVP and 54 (22%) of LPV/r arms (HR = 1.7, 95% CI 1.2-2.4), with the difference primarily due to more treatment discontinuation in the NVP arm. 13 (45%) of 29 women tested in the NVP versus six (15%) of 40 in the LPV/r arm had any drug resistance mutation at time of VF. Initial ART with NVP+TDF/FTC demonstrated equivalent virologic efficacy but higher rates of treatment discontinuation and new drug resistance compared with LPV/r+TDF/FTC in antiretroviral-naïve women with CD4<200 cells/mm(3).

Article: A multinational study of neurological performance in antiretroviral therapy-naive HIV-1-infected persons in diverse resource-constrained settings[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Little is known about how the prevalence and incidence of neurological disease in HIV-infected patients in resource-limited settings. We present an analysis of neurological and neurocognitive function in antiretroviral naïve individuals in multinational resource-limited settings. This prospective multinational cohort study, a substudy of a large international randomized antiretroviral treatment trial, was conducted in seven low- and middle-income countries in sub-Saharan Africa, South America, and Asia. Subjects were HIV-infected and met regional criteria to initiate antiretroviral therapy. Standardized neurological examination and a brief motor-based neuropsychological examination were administered. A total of 860 subjects were studied. Overall 249 (29%) had one or more abnormalities on neurological examinations, but there was a low prevalence of HIV-associated dementia (HAD) and minor neurocognitive disorder (MND). Twenty percent of subjects had evidence of peripheral neuropathy. There were significant differences across countries (p < 0.001) in neuropsychological test performance. In this first multinational study of neurological function in antiretroviral naïve individuals in resource-limited settings, there was a substantial prevalence of peripheral neuropathy and low prevalence of dementia and other CNS diseases. There was significant variation in neurocognitive test performance and neurological examination findings across countries. These may reflect cultural differences, differences in HIV-related and unrelated diseases, and variations in test administration across sites. Longitudinal follow-up after antiretroviral treatment initiation may help to define more broadly the role of HIV in these differences as well as the impact of treatment on performance.Journal of NeuroVirology 07/2011; 17(5):438-47.

ABSTRACT: In July of 2006, the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) Center for Mental Health Research on AIDS (CMHRA) sponsored the second conference on the Assessment of NeuroAIDS in Africa, which was held in Arusha, Tanzania. The conference mission was to address the regional variations in epidemiology of HIV-related neurological disorders as well as the assessment and diagnosis of these disorders. Participants discussed and presented data regarding the relevance and translation of neuroAIDS assessment measures developed in resource intensive settings and the challenges of neuro-assessment in Africa, including the applicability of current tools, higher prevalence of confounding diseases, and the complexity of diverse cultural settings. The conference presentations summarized here highlight the need for further research on neuroAIDS in Africa and methods for assessing HIV-related neurological disorders.Journal of NeuroVirology 05/2008; 14(2):87-101.

ABSTRACT: Tuberculosis (TB) and cryptococcosis are common infectious complications in HIV in resource-limited settings and contribute substantial morbidity and mortality. The increasing access to highly active antiretroviral treatment (HAART) has invited numerous challenges such as timing of HAART, cotreatment (drug dosages and interaction), immune reconstitution syndromes, and withdrawal of chemoprophylaxis. Numerous small studies propose the feasibility of concomitant TB/HIV treatment that needs to be confirmed in large, randomized trials. Treatment of acute cryptococcocal meningo-encephalitis with amphoterecin B is fraught with logistic problems in resource-limited settings. An effective safe dose of fluconazole as monotherapy needs to be determined in phase II studies. Current management guidelines extrapolated from developed countries may not necessarily apply and need validation in resource-limited settings.Current HIV/AIDS Reports 09/2005; 2(3):116-21.

Article: Ventriculitis due to a hetero strain of vancomycin intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (hVISA): Successful treatment with linezolid in combination with intraventricular vancomycin[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A 67-year male presented with relapse 14 days after treatment with vancomycin for a MRSA ventriculitis. CSF samples taken at the time of relapse grew MRSA with a MIC for vancomycin of 4 mg/L by E-test and therapy with linezolid (600 mg bd) and intraventricular vancomycin (20 mg od) was initiated. Using the macrodilution E-test, the isolate was found to have sub-populations with a MIC for vancomycin of 8 mg/L and teicoplanin of 12 mg/L and a population analysis profile almost identical to the hVISA strain MU3, indicative of a hVISA strain. Concentrations of vancomycin in the CSF over the period of therapy ranged from 25.6-192.5 mg/L after intraventricular administration and those of linezolid ranged from 3.4-6.7 mg/L after intravenous administration, exceeding the MICs for this isolate. The patient made a successful recovery, with no further episodes of ventriculitis at 1-year follow-up. We report the first case of ventriculitis due to hVISA. It was successfully treated with intrathecal vancomycin and intravenous linezolid. We also believe this to be the first documented case of clinical infection due to hVISA in South Africa.Journal of Infection 05/2005; 50(3):252-7. DOI:10.1016/j.jinf.2004.04.002 · 4.44 Impact Factor

PHOTO CAPTION: Pueschel Wolfgang, USAG Bavaria safety specialist, measures a car's tire tread depth to ensure it can perform in freezing rain or snow.
November 5, 2013
By Catalina Victoria, USAG Bavaria Family and MWR Marketing
GRAFENWOEHR, Germany -- With record high temperatures experienced throughout the summer in Bavaria, it might be easy to overlook the fact that the winter months are approaching. The fall season is the perfect time to start preparing your vehicle for safe winter driving.
The Automotive Skills Centers have the necessary tools, equipment and the skilled staff to assist you with preparing your vehicle for winter weather. Several components of a vehicle should be inspected to make your vehicle winter ready.
Windshield wipers and fluid:
Drivers should ensure their vehicles have a good pair of wipers. Worn out wipers can be a hazard and are not as effective during rain or snowy conditions. It is also important to switch to a windshield fluid that will not freeze.
Be sure all of the lights on your vehicle are in working order. These include the high beams, headlights, day lights, fog lights, brake lights and tail lights. Properly functioning lights are important so visibility is not affected. Shop staff can advise drivers on how to clean their headlights and headlight covers if they are yellowed.
From about November through March, when snow is expected, drivers must ensure their vehicles have winter tires or all season M/S (mud and snow) tires in preparation for snow and ice-covered roads. Winter tires marked with a snowflake have treads and a rubber mix that help it grip cold roads better than all-season tires, especially at temperatures below 44 degrees Fahrenheit.
All season tires with M/S designation on the side are considered acceptable for winter driving, although not ideal. While all season tires are allowed, they still might not protect the driver from getting a ticket for not having proper winter tires in the event of an accident.
Drivers should also check the tread and air pressure on their tires. These two factors determine how much traction the tires will have to properly grip the road.
The treads on a tire control the stopping power of the car. Low tread levels can make a vehicle very dangerous to drive and cause tires to slide. Be sure tires have a tread depth of at least three millimeters and make sure they are properly inflated. Check your spare tire for proper inflation as well.
In Bavaria, the temperatures during the winter months frequently drop below freezing. The staff at the Automotive Skills Centers can help you check the concentration of the coolant and antifreeze. It is important to check this periodically, especially before the winter months when the coolant requires more antifreeze and less water.
Other components:
Check the battery and voltage regulator and ensure the ignition and thermostat exhaust system are working appropriately. Verify that the heater and defroster in your vehicle are functioning. Check the brakes and have them adjusted if necessary. Be sure to switch the vehicle's oil to winter weight oil.
Check the weather conditions:
Throughout the winter months it is important to know what the driving conditions are before you hit the road. Community members can check the garrison webpage (www.grafenwoehr.army.mil) for up to date driving conditions.
If you learn that there will be inclement weather, plan your trip accordingly and consider whether or not you have to drive. If driving cannot be avoided, be sure to have an ice scraper and broom in your car, dress warmly and in layers, keep water and nonperishable food in your trunk. Having these items in your vehicle will keep you safe in the event you are trapped in a storm for a long time.
In addition, it's also a good idea to maintain the gas tank at least half full at all times.
If you are not sure how to check any of these components on your vehicle, you can visit the Automotive Skills Center and have a staff member show you how. You can also join us for our educational workshops on winterization where we invite you to bring your vehicle for a day dedicated to getting our vehicles ready for the winter.
Visit FMWR's webpage (www.grafenwoehr.armymwr.com) or social media sites for updates on upcoming workshops.

Magical Gangster Rhiddel Alistor by CatnipMafiaWatch
©2013-2015 CatnipMafia
Please comment if you favorite! I want to know why you did!
This is my magical gangster "Rhiddel" Alistor, also known as Naschkatze and Rotkatze.
To the rival gangs, all they know is that the boss of her gang is named Kasimir Naschkatze. (A fake name made up by Rhiddel)
They do not know that she is actually the boss. In fact they do not know she is a woman either since she disguises herself whenever going out on a job. They know that the "man" wearing the red armband is in direct contact with Naschkatze and is the only way to get to him, so the name Rotkatze is what the rival gangs call him/her.
Her favorite spell involves a flaming red lightning fire.
I'll make her a proper reference picture eventually.
I'll probably realize I messed up on something and fix it later, I'm never satisfied with my work.

Guys, carrying on fom the chain cleaning thread, what do you do when you want to clean the chainrings and rear cogs? I suppose that a clean chain will look foul quite soon if it's running in the same crud as the gears will probably have on them. Do you bother stripping them down.
Putting this into perspective, the last time I stripped a gear setup was one of those old Sturmey-Archer 3-speed hubs! Remember them? Those were real bikes. None of that aluminum/titanium metal, just good old solid steel. Even acne was made of sterner stuff!
Running for cover.

I'm trying to use a timer to send an email every minute. The information for each email is taken from values for each row of components I have on a form. I can send the emails without using the timer, so I know the email method works. But when I try to implement the timer, the emails do not get sent. I read the docs on the timer class, and I believe this should work. But I'm not familiar with it enough to really know what to do. Here is the code:
Here is the email method:
//method to send email to outlook
public void sendEMailThroughOUTLOOK(string recipient,
string subject, string body)
// Create the Outlook application.
Outlook.Application oApp = new Outlook.Application();
// Create a new mail item.
Outlook.MailItem oMsg =
// Set HTMLBody.
//add the body of the email
oMsg.Body = body;
oMsg.Subject = subject;
// Add a recipient.
Outlook.Recipients oRecips = (Outlook.Recipients)oMsg.Recipients;
// Change the recipient in the next line if necessary.
Outlook.Recipient oRecip = (Outlook.Recipient)oRecips.Add(recipient);
// Send.
// Clean up.
oRecip = null;
oRecips = null;
oMsg = null;
oApp = null;
}//end of try block
catch (Exception ex)
} //end of catch
} //end of Email Method
And here is the timer event:
private void OnTimedEvent(object source, ElapsedEventArgs e)
foreach (rowClass row in this.rows)
string recipientAddress = "firstname.lastname@example.com";
string subjectLine = "GPC " + (string)row.buildingComboBox.SelectedItem
+ " " + (string)row.roomComboBox.SelectedItem + "-Room Check";
string senderline = "firstname.lastname@example.com" + "\t";
string newlinespaces = Environment.NewLine + Environment.NewLine +
Environment.NewLine + Environment.NewLine + Environment.NewLine;
string legalLastName = "Legal Last Name=" +
string legalFirstName = "Legal First Name=" +
string timeLine = "Time= 15m";
string requestType = "Initial Request Type=Onsite";
string classRoomMaintenace = "Classroom maintenance. " +
"Regular Classroom weekly check.";
string closingEmailSent = "Closing Email Sent=yes";
string currentlyClosed = "Currently Closed=yes";
string assignTo = "Assign To=ITHC CTS Staff";
string typeLine = "Type=Hardware";
string category = "Category=Internal Component";
string subCategory = "Subcategory=Performance";
string agentType = "Type (Agent)=Hardware";
string agentCategory = "Type (Agent)=Hardware";
string subCategoryAgent = "Subcategory (Agent)=Performance";
string labelLine = "Label=Service Request";
string status = "Status=Closed";
string finalbody = senderline + newlinespaces + legalLastName
+ newlinespaces + legalFirstName + newlinespaces + timeLine
+ newlinespaces + requestType + newlinespaces + classRoomMaintenace
+ newlinespaces + closingEmailSent + newlinespaces
+ currentlyClosed + newlinespaces + assignTo + newlinespaces
+ typeLine + newlinespaces + category + newlinespaces
+ subCategory + newlinespaces + agentType + newlinespaces
+ agentCategory + newlinespaces + subCategoryAgent
+ newlinespaces + labelLine + newlinespaces + status;
sendEMailThroughOUTLOOK(recipientAddress, subjectLine, finalbody);
//sendEMailThroughOUTLOOK(recipientAddress, subjectLine, finalbody);
Here is where the timer is created inside a send email button on the form, which should in theory call the email method:
private void submitButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
if (rows[0].buildingComboBox.SelectedIndex > -1)
System.Timers.Timer time = new System.Timers.Timer();
time.Interval = 300000;
time.Enabled = true;
time.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(OnTimedEvent);
MessageBox.Show("Issues Sent");
I send an email for each row of components on the form (the user adds rows as needed) The email is sent through outlook (it has to be sent through outlook using exchange server) I need to delay it because the server will not accept them all at once. My understanding of the timer class must be flawed. I cant figure out why this isn't working.

Call of Duty: Black Ops II
Question from froggerd8
Can you make the pack a punch in solo?
3 years ago
Ok I tried putting the turbine by that door in the poweroom but it isn't opening it,
3 years ago
You can but the bank has to be open first before you put your turbine down
3 years ago
It helps to have sprint because you have to run back from the powerstation to the town if your playing by yourself. If not have someone place a turbine at the powerstation and run to the room in the vault. Make sure you blow both doors in the bank before you try to place the turbine. Hope this helped
3 years ago
This part of the game, along with many other things seem really random to me. Your best bet is to make sure both bank doors are opened, then go near the AK74u, DROP the turbine down (don't jump down, drop it from above) and sprint to the bank, hopefully it'll be open. Always do that with one running zombie left alive, and once in the PaP tunnel, build the machine and upgrade your stuff. The turbine might eventually break, at which point you'll need to go grab another one (I found that the bus depot is a pretty common destination when you teleport) and repeat. Don't try to PaP mid-round unless you want to end the game quickly

- Description
Shanghai, one of the most populous cities in the world, has never been pictured in such enormous detail. Let the world experience this fast growing city and understand China is always my dream. Through my telephoto lens, I wish you, the viewer, can blend into the daily life in Shanghai and enjoy your virtual visit.
Before being introduced to Gigapan, I used manual panorama head (Manfrotto 303SPH) and fisheye lens to take spherical panorama and build virtual tours for my clients. In late 2009, I learned about the Dresden 26 Gigapixel image (www.dresden-26-gigapixels.com/dresden26GP ) created by the world renowned German photographer, Holger Schulze. It was then the world largest image. This compelling image absolutely fascinated me. Until today, I still think the Dresden image is one of the most important milestones in man's pursuing of the world largest photograph. A few months later, a new world record was released; it further intrigued me, I decided to give it a try myself.
In March 2010, the first batch of Gigapan EPIC Pro was still on pre-order. Without any hesitation, I boldly placed a pre-order and received this precisely engineered yet inexpensive device in early April. Other necessary equipments were also ordered, by mid-April, all the hardware was ready.
To build the world largest image is not a trivial project; there are many challenges and barriers. To name a few, the density of the camera's image sensor must be high; the optics must have long focal length yet still light enough to be maneuvered by a robotic panorama head; large amount of images must be transferred directly onto a laptop; the devices must be powered for extended hours; the photo location must have large amount of details to avoid empty pixels such as sky, water surface; the weather must be calm so that the camera is less likely to vibrate due to wind; the light condition must be consistent throughout shooting… I know this is an extremely difficult undertaking, but it is worth the effort.
My first attempt was on April 22nd, 2010, the day was partly sunny. I planned to take an image set of 9,000 pictures, but had to stop because of the change of weather condition. I ended up with a set of only 1,500 images. Spring in Shanghai is often cloudy or rainy; I have to wait for the perfect weather. The second time window appeared on April 29th, 2010. That day, I was able to complete a set of 9,000 images; however, I spent too much time to setup the equipment and didn't start shooting until 10:30am. When I was done with the image set, it was almost dark. The image set suffered significant lighting change and only the first 6,000+ images could be used. Back in April 2010, once stitched, even 6,000 images should set a world record; however, I saw the possibility of acquiring even larger image set. Finally, the third time window appeared on May 25th, 2010. Learned from the previous experience, I started very early and got everything ready by 8:00am. The shooting started at 8:30am, with an average of 2.4 seconds per image, I took 12,000 images and finished shooting before dusk. Bingo, now I have the raw data.
Acquiring the images was just the first step towards the goal, to stitch it, post-process it and display it were a long way to go. Since this was a side project, I didn't have much time to work on it. As months went by, I watched people setting new world records almost every month throughout 2010. This year is gigapixel image year. I never imagined such fierce competition. Finally, my image was completely stitched on Sept 20th, 2010. The raw stitch was a 1.24 TB image file. I wrote several tools for post-processing and finally generated the result image of 1,089,248,410,452 bytes (1.09 TB). The 1/1000 thumbnail of the un-cropped raw stitch is also on Gigapan at www.gigapan.org/gigapans/61595/ .
Post-processing and uploading took me another three months, now it is finally open to public. This is not the end of my panorama journey, it is a new start, challenging the limit is an infinite process. New records will appear in the future, it is only a matter of time.

Due to the enormous size of this panorama image, uploading onto Gigapan is also a non-trivial task. I received great help from the Gigapan team, especially Paul Heckbert, Vanessa Constanti, and Randy Sargent.
Gigapixel photography is expensive and time consuming, without the un-conditioned support from my family, this wouldn't be possible.
More Information
For more details about the creation of this image as well as my panorama related research, please visit www.shanghai-272-gigapixels.com / . In addition, I will post the updates on twitter twitter.com/alf168 , for those who are interested in my panorama journey; you are welcome to follow me.
The creation of this panorama is intended to explore the limit of photo equipment, computer hardware, network resource and various other contributing factors that limit the size of a panorama image. This is by no means a perfect image; there are many aspects to be improved.
上海是全世界人口最多的城市之一,之前没有任何一张照片以如此多的细节来描绘这个城市。这是一张关于上海的"清明上河图"。我拍摄此图的目的是让世界来感受这个快速发展的城市,让世界来更多地了解中国。通过我的超长焦镜头,我希望您作为一个访客,能够融入到上海的都市生活中,来体验一个普通上海人的一天。 我作为一名久居海外的华人,仅以此图献给我的故乡-上海。
在接触Gigapan之前,我使用Manfrotto 303SPH手动云台和鱼眼镜头来拍摄球形全景并且为我的客户制作虚拟旅游图。2009年末,一个偶然的机会,当我在浏览网站时,我看到了由德国著名摄影师Holger Schulze拍摄的26G像素的德莱斯顿(Dresden)全景 (www.dresden-26-gigapixels.com/dresden26GP)。 当时这是世界上最大的图片。这幅震撼人心的图片让我很久不能平静下来。直到现在,尽管很多摄影师已经突破了26G像素的图片,我仍然认为这是具有里程碑意义的重要图片之一。 几个月后,又有新的世界纪录问世。 自此,我决定,我要为中国也做一幅这样的图片,希望能为中国人争一口气,在国际竞争中占一席之地。
2010年3月, Gigapan EPIC Pro云台还没有正式上市,在没有看到和试用过这个设备的时候,我毫不犹豫地预定了一台。四月上旬,第一批EPIC Pro上市了,我得到了其中的一台。这是一部非常精密的摄影设备,我爱不释手。在四月中旬我回上海出差之前,全部设备都准备就绪了。
想要创造新的世界纪录并不是一件容易的事情,有很多的限制因素。这包括,相机必须有最高的像素密度;所使用的镜头必须是在云台承载范围内焦距最长的;图片必须直接存储到计算机上;拍摄现场必须有办法为设备长时间供电;拍摄场景必须有丰富的画面,要避免大量天空或水面的空白像素;天气必须平静,这样才不会有风带来的震动;光线条件必须在整个拍摄过程中保持稳定… 尽管有很多的困难,我觉得这是值得去挑战的事情。
可以说,拍摄还只是万里长征的第一步,拼接、后期处理、和显示还有很多困难。由于是一个附属项目,我的时间投入很有限,所以进展很慢。而与此同时,2010年,超大图 的世界纪录在不断地被打破,几乎每个月都有新的记录诞生,我只好望洋兴叹。好在我的图片还足够多,但是时不待我。我完全没有想象到竞争会如此激烈。9月20日,图片终于拼完了。未经后处理的图片是一个1.24 TB的文件。我写了一些工具软件进行后期处理,最终图片为1.09 TB。未经后处理的图片的 1/1000缩略图的网址是http://www.gigapan.org/gigapans/61595/ 。

The Sevilla image's URL is listed in my comparison at farm6.static.flickr.com/5168/52843 44733_51a7a5430d_b.jpg . I learned about it less than a week ago. I do not know their exact launch date, it was this month too. That's a great image, also they somehow is using a completely unfamiliar robotic head. Very cool.
Yes I didn't know that the Sugarloaf image used the same method for calculation, I did not see the specs of what they shot with on their entry. Do you know? If so we clearly should invite them to change their entry as well. Which group was the Sevilla team?
Also, we should invite Sevilla team to create another entry on that page. There will be a dilemma though, where shall they put the entry, in front or after Sugar Loaf entry?
The optical resolution is listed on the entry now. The image size in terms of pixels is accurate. Unless you post the same demand on RioHK's Sugar Loaf image as well. I feel no obligation to make any additional changes. I also should not make revision to their entry. Please do not use any double standards. Thank you! In addition, RioHK is a research team and should know better about being truthful about their report. Cheers, Happy Holidays!
Alfred, given this dispute over the actual resolution, I think you should change the edit that you made in Wikipedia listing your image as the world's highest resolution image en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Largest_phot ographs_in_the_world#Digital_photograph This is a resource that many people depend on from academics to reporters. I think it is clear that the entry should not be listed as a 272 gigapixel image.
Let's review what we know so far: Alfred has produced an interesting and highly-explorable panorama of enormous size. He has been forthright in explaining his method and how he arrived at his pixel count. He is using Autopano Pro, same as other very large gigapans, and is not using it any differently than other photographers. He has been willing to post an apples-to-apples comparison to other large panos. In contrast, most of his criticism has come from a person with no gigapans and no snapshots. Alfred, I'd advise you to ignore trolls and bask in the glow of your accomplishment. Tom
Hi Alfred, This is a true accomplishment. This is certainly a new world record both by image pixel count and optical count by a solo person. You should be proud of yourself. You must be a scientist. I admire your logical response and deep understanding of this field. One suggestion, take it easy on some people's comments. We are here to share knowledge and our passion.
To Gerald regarding the resolution calculation, based on the data you provided. 130m vs 750m. The area magnification is 33 times. 800mm lens vs 400mm lens only affect the field of view, it does not change magnification. The snapshot I took on Dubai is 400 times larger than the snapshot I took on Shanghai. Based on this, assuming at the same distance, the snapshot on yours is 12 times larger. The only statement I had on my early post was "the Shanghai image has at least the same resolution if not higher". I like the way you gathered data, this is truly the same spirit we share. BTW, Dubai image is a great one, otherwise, I won't even try to compare the quality in terms of resolution. Also, we were doing the same thing almost the same time of the year (April to May), what a co-incidence. I guess this has something to do with the relatively low cost, yet high quality Gigapan robotic panorama head.
terrorpixel, I found your comment really strange. The comparison ( farm6.static.flickr.com/5168/52843 44733_51a7a5430d_b.jpg ) about the largest three panorama is only stating the fact collected from public information. What's the flaw? If you provide me an email address, I will send you the Excel spreadsheet with the calculation logic and you can try by your own. The only thing you may dispute about is the percentage overlap in the Sugar Loaf picture. Here is how it is derived. They reported horizontal view of 221.5 degree. Divide by 211 columns, it is 1.050 degree per image. The horizontal field of view for a 400mm 2X (800mm) lens is 1.611 degree. Divide 1.050 / 1.611, it is 65%, therefore the overlap is 35%. 0.65 x 0.65 x 18M = 7.6M, this is the amount of pixels an individual image contribute to the panorama. 7.6 * 12238 = 93G. This means, Sugar Loaf is also emit at 100% in Autopano. That is what other people did also. The only difference is I reported the theoretical calculation while the other group didn't. I as an individual work on this enormous project, I certainly should defend myself for my hard work. FYI, based on my knowledge, since 2008, only two person were able to do similar things solo, one is Gerald and the other is me. Despite other disagreement, this is something I definitely should acknowledge Gerald.
Since I posted a small comment on this forum, I've seen enough nonsense getting into my mailbox. Why you guys kept attacking someone who truly did some extraordinary work.
Wow you really are desperate to try to prove your flawed method of calculating pixels and claiming a record. You are putting way too much emphasis on this 'record' why? Is it worth lying about? It's clear that you will not change your mind about reporting accurate pixels. Instead you seem bent on just pointing out flaws in other panoramas - this is a shameful display for a photographer of your caliber.
Hi Alfred - Further to your earlier comparison of the two signs, I'm home now and have access to Google Earth. Was a bit difficult working it all out since your placement of your panormama in Google Earth isn't totally accurate, but looking around, I managed to discover where you took it from. The exact co-ordinates of where you took your pictures from are as follows: Latitude: 31 degrees 12 minutes 14.83 seconds North Longitude: 121 degrees 26 minutes 68.62 seconds East (this is roughly 590 metres at a heading of 305 degrees from where your panorama is currently placed in Google Earth) Now that we know where you took your image from, we can use Google Earth to work out how far away the building is that you snapshotted for your "scientific comparison", and compare to the Dubai example you used. Distance from your camera position to the sign you created a snapshot of in the Shanghai gigapan: 130 metres. (not sure if there's been a glitch, but it would appear that the snapshot you took no longer exists. For reference, it was a sign on an air conditioning unit on the building on the very left hand side of your panorama with the domed roof, 5 floors below the snapshot called "office" created of a chap sitting at his desk, by user gbtbpb). Distance from my camera position to the sign you created a snapshot of in the Dubai gigapan: 750 metres. (again, it would appear that there is some kind of glitch with the snapshots on Gigapan, because this one no longer exists either! For reference, it was on a building called Churchill Tower in Business Bay in Dubai.) We're not quite talking about two things of "about the same distance", are we. Time to move on, I think? Kind regards, Gerald.
As promised, here is the completely objective comparison of the three largest panorama, due to format issue, you will have to view the image on my flckr page. farm6.static.flickr.com/5168/52843 44733_51a7a5430d_b.jpg
Again, main question we raised here is what is considered scientific and what is not. Everyone use the same software to stitch image, when there is no standard way to measure the true pixel count of a panorama, then we should not alter nor manipulate the software output, this is a baseline count. State clearly the estimated theoritical analysis is the ethic way to do things in science and technology fields. Shortly I will post an objective comparison of the existing super size panorama. I agree, we need to have a worldwide committee and also a set of standard tools for evaluation. that's something we should propose to the next gigapan conference, fact is, I already raised this issue among serveral key personnel such as Alexandre Jenny (Kolor, Paris 26G), Holger, Schultz (AFB, Dresden 26G). Amount of information is also another important measurement. Before a world wide consensus, everyone in this community should be honest to the tool and emit at 100% and state the theoretical estimation just like I did. Any manual manipulation is a fraud.
Alfred, I do want you to know that this is a very well done image, I like the quality - it's a great stitch! The subject is very interesting and it's an incredible feat! Well done in that respect. I wanted to mention that in case you thought I only had negative things to say. All of us here are part of an emerging field of photography (yes I know I haven't posted much yet), really pioneering this whole thing and, at the moment, we are self governed as far as 'records' go. So I feel rather responsible for the standards (and records) that we set. I really do feel like you are putting megapixel count on an unnecessarily high platform and are sacrificing ethics to do so. For this reason I do wish there was a governing body for records such as this (perhaps Guiness will get on board). Until we have a governing body we are individually charged with being honest about the true megapixel count. I do request as a fellow gigapixel photographer that you stop deliberately misrepresenting the images you shoot. It's obvious that you know how to use Autopano very well, and if I know how to correct for wildly incorrect outputs you do too, so please stop blaming the software for the output. Bottom line is that it's an incredible shot, an amazing feat, and something to be amazingly proud of, but it is NOT anywhere near 272 gigapixels.
I like this image ( www.gigapan.org/gigapans/63167/ ) very much. Regarding explorability, The event such like Obama Inauguration ( www.gigapan.org/gigapans/15374/ ) is full of explorable details. Some remote, unfamiliar place with much details are often in the highly explorable category. Also cultural recognition plays very important role. People from Shanghai found this picture very explorable because they are familiar with the buildings, life style, street and city. The current gigapan ranking and showing mechanism exactly buries the chances for the highly explorable pictures from appearing. The life cycle for a typical panorama is only less than a day. As soon as an image disappears from the most recent upload, the chance for that image to come back to life is very low. Even highly explorable, they won't get the exposure unless you seriously promote it via other channels. In most cases, people do not have the kind of energy or capability to do so. On the other hand, an image for whatever reasons become "popular", they will take the same spot for lengthy amount of time. Just like re-enforced learning, people keep seeing them and therefore their position get even more stable. "Rich become more richer". I found this mechanism suffocates the creativity in this community and needs to be toppled. A simple way is to introduce random pick on top of the most "popular" image, that way, an image's life cycle get longer and good things can surface based on their merits (eg; beautiful picture, better detail, explorability, size, advanced technique, etc.)
This is a great gigapan for its technical achievement. But creating the largest gigapan doesn't necessarily mean it is interesting to explore. There are many gigapans in this site that are quite the opposite - their goal is not to break any world record, but rather to make a great image that is interesting to explore. The keyword is 'explorability', and that is what the explore (popularity) score and what "gigapanning" is all about.
I have no interest in arguing about pixel counts. Instead, I congratulate you on your huge panorama, full of interesting detail, and I appreciate the significant obstacles you overcame to achieve it. Tom
Hi Alfred - You don't think it's fair that the "most popular" panorama appears at the top of the list of "most popular" panoramas? I wouldn't worry about it if I were you. Firstly, I don't think many here actually see this as a competition, and it's certainly not as if there's any real material gain to be had by having a panorama at the top of any particular list here (Gigapan wouldn't even give me a spare battery!). Secondly, give it a day or so and I'm certain you'll have a "score" of over 200 and appear at the top of that list. The Dubai pano hasn't been the most popular gigapan on the site for the entire time it's been up - others have had higher scores. Regards, Gerald.

Sounds like something broke loose inside the transmission.I would do a transmission pressure test and check the transmission pan for debris metal etc.
Could there be any other damages; like the gear box, crankshaft or the clucth

After researching the benefits of drinking lemon water, I began drinking warm lemon water each morning when wake up. The number of benefits are staggering, but I wanted to share the top 10 benefits. It is amazing how one small fruit that most of take for granted is so powerful. I've experienced the health benefits of drinking lemon water and I was amazed at how quickly I saw improvements.
Drinking lemon water each morning is a daily habit that I no longer even think about. After I roll out of bed and get myself going, I head to the kitchen to make my lemon water. I add the juice of half a lemon to a glass of warm water. I do this within 20 minutes of waking up in the morning. There is some debate on how long after you can eat, but I stick to eating no sooner than 30 mins after I have my drink.
Below are the benefits to drinking lemon water each morning:
Aids in Weight Loss. Lemons are high in pectin fiber. This helps fight hunger cravings. I have noticed that if I am hungry before drinking my water it does curb the feeling for a good while after drinking. People who maintain a more alkaline diet lose weight faster.
Clears Skin. The vitamin C component and other antioxidants help fight free radical damage and decrease wrinkles and blemishes. It's said to clear the skin from the inside out. The alkaline nature of lemons kills some types of bacteria known to cause acne. It can actually be applied directly to scars or age spots to help reduce their appearance. You can mix this into a serum to use on the skin. The vitamin C contained in the lemon rejuvenates the skin from within your body.
Cleanses System / Diuretic. Lemons increase the rate of urination; therefore, toxins are released at a faster rate which helps keep your urinary tract healthy. Lemons stimulate the liver and aids in detoxification because the citric acid helps maximize enzyme function.
Aids Digestion. Its make-up is similar to saliva and the hydrochloric acid of digestive juices. It encourages the liver to produce bile which is an acid that is required for digestion. Lemons are also high in vitamins and minerals which help loosen toxins in the digestive tract. The digestive qualities of lemon juice help to relieve symptoms of indigestion, such as heartburn, belching and bloating. The American Cancer Society actually recommends offering warm lemon water to cancer sufferers to help stimulate bowel movements.
Boosts Your Immune System. Lemons are high in Vitamin C and are great for fighting colds. They're high in potassium that stimulates brain and nerve function. Potassium also helps control blood pressure. The Vitamin C found in lemons has anti-inflammatory effects and is used as a support for asthma and other respiratory symptoms. It enhances iron absorption in the body Lemons also have antimicrobial properties that may help fight cold and flu.
Balances pH Levels. Despite the acidic properties, lemons are one of the most alkalizing foods for the body. The citric acid does not create acidity in the body once metabolized. Lemons contain both citric and ascorbic acid, weak acids easily metabolized from the body allowing the mineral content of lemons to help alkalize the blood. Diseases occur when the body pH is acidic. Drinking lemon water regularly can help to remove overall acidity in the body, including uric acid in the joints, which is one of the primary causes of pain and inflammation.
Energizes You and Enhances Your Mood. Lemons are one of the few foods that contain more negative ions that provide your body with extra energy when it enters the digestive tract. The scent of lemon also has mood enhancing and energizing properties. The smell of lemon juice can brighten your mood and help clear your mind. Lemon can also help reduce anxiety and depression.
Promotes Healing. Vitamin C found in lemons promotes wound healing and is an essential nutrient in the maintenance of healthy bones, connective tissue, and cartilage. Vitamin C is an essential nutrient in the maintenance of good health and recovery from stress and injury.
Freshens Breath. Lemons freshen breath and can help relieve tooth pain and gingivitis. However, use with caution as the citric acid can erode tooth enamel. It's best to brush your teeth just after drinking your lemon water or wait a significant amount of time after to brush your teeth. Additionally, you can rinse your mouth with purified water after you finish your lemon water.
Hydrates Your Lymph System. Warm water and lemon juice supports the immune system by hydrating and replacing fluids lost by your body. When your body is deprived of water, you can definitely feel the side effects, which include: feeling fatigued, decreased immune function, constipation, lack of energy, low/high blood pressure, lack of sleep and lack of mental clarity
Lemon is a super fruit that can help with a number of benefits. Despite having a love-hate relationship with lemons, most of us can agree there awesome benefits of drinking lemon water daily. An alternative to drinking lemon water is taking Vitamin C in the form of a pill. Honestly, I do both. I drink lemon water in the morning and I take a vitamin c tablet in the evenings to boost the benefits of taking MSM.
Recently, a reader mentioned adding cinnamon to the lemon water and I can definitely see where that is beneficial. I'm going to give it a try because I add cinnamon to a number of food and drink items daily to regulate my blood sugar.
Have you tried drinking warm lemon water? How did you benefit?
70 Comments on 10 Benefits of Drinking Warm Lemon Water Every Morning
Thank you, girl, for this post. I haven't been feeling well lately with intestinal issues. I don't drink enough water for one thing. But I'm eager to try this. Does the water have to be warm, or can I drink cold lemon water throughout the day?
Allison recently posted…Youngblood Outrageous Lashes Mineral Lengthening Mascara – Cobalt Blue
I love, love to have lemon and lime around the house. I mix lime juice with honey and rub it on my face. I also squeeze some lemon juice in some hot water with some cinnamon powder and drink it in the morning for weight loss. I truly enjoyed reading this post. Thank you so much for sharing, Tiki!
I love lemon water. But I notice I drink it more in the summer than I do in the winter. I might even try growing my own indoor lemon tree so I can keep up with it year round.
Thank you very much for this information. I will put add it to my daily routines
I knew about lemons clearing your skin but not all the other benefits! I tend to go through phases of drinking lemon water every day for a couple of weeks and then don't for about 6 months! x
Wow! I knew about lemons aiding in digestion and cleansing your system. But I didn't know about the other advantages. Thank you for sharing this list. We keep lemons in my house all the time. I'm going to try this. Pinned it to my Pinterest board too.
I just ran out of lemons. I plan on restocking tomorrow. Doesn't seem right not to have any lemons around.
Great tips! I've never thought of these benefits where lemon water is concerned but they make sense when I think of the reasons why I take Vitamin C every day. I suffer from chronic back pain and it was suggested by a couple people to take Vit C. Upon doing some research, I discovered what you listed about healing bones and cartilage. I'll definitely be adding this to my diet!
Wow! I had no idea of all the benefits of lemons! I learned a couple months ago about the benefit of alkalinity in the body. But had no idea I could get that and so much more from just one delicious little fruit!
A couple questions though:
Why warm water? Are there added benefits to warm water versus cold water?
Would drinking bottled lemon juice give the same benefits as drinking the juice of a fresh lemon?
WOW! I did not know that even though they're an acidic fruit, they alkalize the body! I've heard so much about the importance of that. Reading this post has me excited to start drinking lemon water in the mornings for all these wonderful benefits! I'll have to get some next time I'm at the store!
Wow! thanks for sharing the awesome benefits of lemon water. this was actually going to be one of my future posts, but you nailed it. Lemon water is just amazing, and it's definitely helping me fight my morning sickness these days! love your blog and i am subscribing!
Wow! I had no idea. I drink 64 oz. of water daily, and I try to drink it at room temperature. I haven't tried warm lemon water. Good to know as I definitely could benefit from the results.
I used to drink lemon water in the morning when I was actively trying to lose weight. I drink it with honey warmed when I have a sore throat.
I've never heard of the benefits of drinking warm lemon water until now. I wish I had lemons so I could try this tomorrow morning!
Great post! I will have to include it to my daily routine!! Thanks for sharing
What a great suggestion especially now that cooler weather is upon us! Thanks for the health info!
I really like the all the benefits of this. I will have to try this. I drink lots of water but not sure if i can handle warm lemon water.
The idea of warm water does not sound inviting BUT I love the benefits of drinking warm lemon water. I especially like the weight loss and clear skin! Will be trying this! Thanks for sharing!
Love, love, love this post. I like drinking hot lemon water (although it's not from freshly squeezed lemons), and I have read about the benefits, but haven't come across as many as you have mentioned in this post. I want to go out and grab some fresh lemons right now! Also, I have to remember to drink it first thing in the morning.
Thanks for sharing these! I had no idea lemons had all these benefits. My daughter would like the acne and digestion benefits, and I like the mood enhancing benefit!
I tried this for a while, and it was a great way to start my day. Then summer came and I found it too hot to drink. The cooler weather is setting in, thanks for the reminder that I need to start this again!
ok, I think you have convinced me that I need to try this…you had me at promoting weight loss!
I've been hearing about this more and more, but I've never given it a try.
Gina, give it a try and see what benefits you notice:)
I have started doing this every morning (I drink mine cold), makes me feel so GOOD! I feel like it acts as a mini detox and I find my energy increases and I feel lighter over all. I highly suggest doing this every morning! Thanks !
I'm glad to hear you have an increase in energy. It does act as a min detox. The reason for the warm water is b/c it absorbs into the body faster and the body doesn't have to work to heat it up
Interesting! I haven't tried this, but I often use lemon in my diet.
Give it a try!
I've been doing it on and off – I often forget because I'm always so hungry in the morning that I automatically grab some food. However, I can report clearer skin and better digestion.
I had no idea how many benefits there were with drinking lemon water! I'm curious about the reason for drinking warm water?
Do you mean my reason or the reason why the water has to be warm?
The reason the water has to be warm!
I didn't know most of these. Sounds like dh could benefit greatly from this.
Let me know if you can get him to try them and how it works for him. Thanks for dropping by
I love this really nice tips, i would try for loss weight. But i learn so mamy benefits that i can try, thank so much for sharing! 😉
It does help with weight loss. I have an extra glass during the day when I get hungry and it's not time for me to eat.
I will have to try this. It sounds like a lot of great benefits from drinking lemon water.
There are and I'm glad I started drinking my lemon water.
I drink this sometimes – I should do it more often though. Lemon is fabulous! I put lemon in cold water also,
Give it a try more often and see what happens:)
I love lemon water! I never realized how healthy it was and all the benefits it had to offer. Thanks for sharing!
I know it shocked me. I started drinking it for digestion help and found so many other benefits.
I have tried it and felt better, but just can't seem to get into a routine and do it everyday. I would love my son to try it for his acne.
I definitely understand. I have things that I have not been consistent with too. My friends said it worked for her acne. If you can talk him into it, it's worth a try.
I'm not much of a health-nut (as evidenced by my love of cupcakes and all things chocolate), but I do drink a lot of water. I don't like it warm and I don't like lemons, but I do drink it first thing in the morning before I eat and try to drink water when I start feeling hungry.
I had no idea! Thanks so much for the great info. I'm going to try this tip. Even if I only get half of the results listed above, it's a win!
Indeed. I have a friend that tried it for acne and noticed other benefits.
I didn't know there were so many benefits to lemons! I have a few in the fridge. I'm going to have to try this!
It's an inexpensive way to boost your health. I saw go for it!
I haven't tried it. I normally don't enjoy warm drinks, but looking at all of the health benefits, I may give it a try! Thanks for the tips!
I hope you do.
I've always loved the taste of lemon water, but I had no idea it had so many health benefits. Do you have to use fresh lemons or would lemon juice work?
You get the benefits listed from using fresh lemon.
Great article, however, I drink a shot of ACV with room temp water each night before bed which also aids in weight loss and digestion.

Train route planner in Poland
I have travelled many times by train in Poland and find that
now with national train companies using the German railways
search engine model online, its a lot easier to plan your journey.
Also with the volcanic ash causing 16,000 flights to be cancelled
daily in Europe, train travel is yet again becoming
one of the best ways to get about.
Imagine if there were further eruptions and this went on for years...
travel habits as we know, would change completely.

Transport in Swinoujscie
The town is located on both banks of the river Świna, and since there is no road connection across it, transport is provided by regular ferries. For pedestrians this is free but car drivers pay. This reminds me of the port of Portsmouth and Cowes on the Isle of Wight where you see a town/city split in 2 and the locals ferrying to and fro. There are current plans that a tunnel will be built under the river some time before 2013.
Świnoujście has the largest and most modern ferry terminal in Poland, and also the warmest city in the winter, with regular connections to Denmark and Sweden. The city lies at the northern terminus of Polish National Route 3 (DK3, in the future express road S3), which is in turn part of the European route E65 running across Europe from Sweden to Greece. Świnoujście has four railway stations on the eastern bank of the river Świna, on Wolin island, with regular regional connections to Szczecin and long-distance connections to other cities in Poland.
Land border controls were abolished 21 December 2007, and free automobile traffic to and from Germany was allowed for the first time since 1945, (when it was part of German territory), as Poland implemented the Schengen Agreement. From 20 September 2008 the city has a railway connection to its western portion as well, when the railway line to Ahlbeck was extended eastward to Świnoujście, ("Świnoujście Centrum") giving it a direct link to the German railway network (UBB line where you can buy tickets using Euro which is cheaper than using Zloty. The nearest airport at Heringsdorf in Germany, 13 km west of Świnoujście, will likely become more important for travelling to the city, if it ever acquires year-round scheduled passenger connections; it currently has a number of summer connections to German cities only. The nearest airport with year-round traffic is the Szczecin-Goleniów "Solidarność" Airport, 80 km southeast in Poland.

By local ferry
The town of Swinoujscie is divided by the Swina river. The railway station is located on the other side of the river and not in the city center. There is a free ferry "Centrum" which runs several times per hour Centrum to Warszow.
Please note that tourists on foot can always use this ferry but not the ones with a car. Tourists with cars should use the ferry "Karsibor" which runs Swinoujscie to Ognica which is further south.
By train to Germany
Since 2008 Swinoujscie has been connected to the German railway system through the UBB (Usedomer Baederbahn). The end stop is called Swinoujscie Centrum. The trains run at least hourly. Some of them go all the way to Stralsund.
There is a ticket machine on the platform but you can also buy tickets from the conductor. Bring some Euro to do as prices in Zloty are more expensive and they don't take Zloty coins.
By ship
There are several options to travel by ship to Swinoujscie.
One is the hydrofoil (picture 1) from Szczecin which we first wanted to use but the station was very far from our hotel so that we decided against it.
Another option is the ship from German towns of Usedom island which are run by Adler Schiffe (picture 2).
And then there are the international ferries going to Denmark (Copenhagen, Ronne) and Sweden (Malmoe and Ystad) (picture 3).
By train to Polish destinations
We came to Swinoujscie by local train from Szczecin which took about 2 hours one way and cost 26 Zloty. In Szczecin the train arrived late. The train was quite full but we managed to find seats at the front of the train. There was also a toilet nearby.
We bought our return ticket in Swinoujscie as there are also options to use a minibus for the trip. You can find those minibuses between the railway station and the city ferry.
Commuters only on the ferry
There are two ferries to cross the Swina, one for commuters only. We learned this when we had come into the city centre, turned left at the water and waited for the ferry to arrive. When it was our turn to drive onto it, we were told:" You cannot take this ship, it is for people from this city only".
Asking in the forum later I learned that the ferry on which non-citizens are allowed is outside the city center.
Instead of turning left once we had reached the river, we should have turned right and driven through the forest for some time. This ferry is further South.
As there is no information posted about this , the poor employee must probably say this sentence quite often.
Unfortunately we found out about this second ferry too late and could not travel further to the other parts of Swinoujscie.
- Road Trip
Swinoujscie is scattered over...
Swinoujscie is scattered over 44 islands between the Baltic Sea and the Szczecin bay.
There is a daily ferry service to Ystad in Sweden and Copenhagen in Denmark and a summer service to the Danish island of Bornholm.
The European highway E65/A3 runs through the town and links Scandinavia with central and southern Europe.
