The hype that preceded the release of Call of Duty: Ghosts promised gamers an experience like no other. Activision and the developers of COD:G came through on that promise for the multiplayer experience, but fell through on their promise for the campaign. Multiplayer adds a new set of playing tactics and includes features designed from other popular game (i.e. contextual lean) that the COD franchise had not used previously. However, when the designers decided to use this strategy to enhance the single player experience, the excitement and novelty of it all hit a thick brick wall. Gamers are used to the nuances used in this most recent COD. They have played numerous games, all of which have utilized these "new" features. Moreover, gamers are looking for something else than the same old, same old player experience, especially when the hype promised something new.
The COD multiplayer experience is like no other out on the market (except maybe for Halo). It's exciting, intoxicating, infuriating, and addictive. Hence, when the designers at Activision decided to incorporate features that have not been a part of the franchise, they really hit the ball out of the park. Developers have brought back the used of points to pay for items such as weapons, equipment, and perks. This feature, which was very popular in the first Black ops, was absent in Black Ops II and diminished the user experience greatly. Additionally, they have included a feature called "contextual lean", which allows player to "lean-out" from behind cover. Of course, this isn't revolutionary in the world of gaming. In fact, this feature has been used widely in many other games. The inclusion here as it being important to Call of Duty is that it is the first time it has been included in COD franchise and it merely enhances an already popular user interface. Thus, user experience becomes enhanced too. Now player can enjoy the features they prefer from other games in a game they prefer over their other games. Exciting, isn't it?
SPOILER ALERT: THIS PARAGRAPH REVEALS INFORMATION ABOUT THE CALL OF DUTY SINGLE PLAYER CAMPAIGN! (you've been warned)
Although the incorporation of these features has drawn many gamers to the multiplayer experience, the single player adventure only yeilds more of the same old, same old. First of all, the inclusion the new features does nothing for the overwritten and overused plot line. Someone from the past got screwed over by the "good guys" and so attempts to undermine their efforts by destroying them. Gamers are bored with that story; it's so overused. Additionally, the story writers are writing too much plot. The Ghost have to save the world from the Federation (and good twist to the story and one they should have focused on) while at the same time fight off Rorke. But wait! There's more. There's the story line about the two brothers. There's the story line about their dad. There's the storly line about how the Federation came to power. There's the story line about their home in LA and how it got destroyed and then the emotional return to "no-man's-land". There's the story line about the Ghosts and their past as a team. It's crazy!! All of these minor plots exist under the main plot line of stopping the Federation from blowing up America with a space canon and to make it worse, that isn't even the plot line the the climax revolves around. Gamers will find themselves so overwelmed by new information, the effectiveness of any of the plot lines will become diminished. Consequently, adding these new features to the single player experience, becomes greatly and unfortunately overshadowed.
Gamers will most certainly buy COD:Ghosts for the multiplayer, and unlike the plot line from the Modern Warfare series, this story will be forgotten and ignored. Although, most gamer only buy COD for the multiplayer anyway, so maybe the single player tragedy won't matter.

Installing Your Outdoor Cooking Stove
Outdoor kitchens are becoming quite popular, especially for those who love to entertain. Many of us avoid cooking on hot summer days and the thought of escaping the stuffy confines of the house to the great outdoors is a welcome alternative.
There are many fascinating models to choose from when shopping for a stove. Some outdoor cooking setups come completely equipped with everything from a built-in pantry to a drop-down cooler. Some include a cooktop, barbeque, smoker, and garbage can. Drawers and cabinetry allow for storage of utensils and easy preparation. Some elaborate models go as far as to include wet-bars, LCD TVs, and complete sound systems.
The surroundings of your cooking stove are equally important as the stove itself. Many examples show stoves installed on a patio, deck, or stone surface. Sometimes, the units are surrounded with cabinets and attractive countertops. The stove itself can be set or encased in rock to create an outdoor feel.
The installation of an outdoor cooking stove and its surroundings can be an in-depth process, and will require a certain amount of skill. Determine your fuel source, and then the appropriate plumbing and electrical conduit should be installed. It is possible to buy propane models; however, the tank can be a bit unsightly.
Outdoor kitchens can cost anywhere from $3000-$15,000 depending on the features included. If you just want to keep it simple, outdoor cooking stoves can be as inexpensive as $75.
If you and your family love spending time outdoors, the addition of an outdoor cooking arrangement can bring you countless hours of relaxing fun. Be the envy of your neighborhood as the delightful aroma of your meal wafts across the summer breeze. Request a free estimate today to install your cooking stove before the pleasant days of spring and summer arrive.

Well, the gang's all here. Just four of the 25 active players here didn't play for the Auburn Doubledays last summer.
However, like Potomac, there's a question of who's gonna start and who's gonna relieve. Nine of the 13 were starting pitchers for significant periods of time in Auburn, Hagerstown, and the GCL. Sight unseen, and without knowing folks' health, it's tough to guess… especially if the Nats do what they did last year with Nathan Karns and begin one of the guys coming off surgery (e.g. Dupra, Anderson) in the bullpen to keep the innings count down in the early going.
Health, of course, is going to probably be a theme with these guys… injuries shortened the already short seasons of Miller and Perez — how will they do over the course of a full season? Matt Purke; 'nuff said.
Of course, it bears repeating that even though this largely the same team that racked up .605 winning percentage in the New York-Penn League, it's no guarantee that they'll do the same in the Sally. But if the pitching improves as much as the hitting declines, it could be another playoff run for this group.
10 Responses to "Hagerstown Announces Its 2013 Opening Day Roster"
5 IFA signings on the active roster has to be some kind of record for us, and there are 2 more on the DL. Maybe we will finaly see some good players come from the DR
No kidding after Jose Rijo soap opera!
??? Where is Shawn Pfefffffffner?
This is a really unimpressive roster. There's maybe 4 players worth watching. Quite the difference from last year, which was full of interesting players.
Did I miss Olbrychowski? Where is he this year?
They've got some interesting players starting with Purke and Wirkin Estevez as they rehab. Mooneyham is a big left-hander. Renda and McQuillen might be very interesting. This roster is still pretty young … just have to wait and see.
True and Pfeffnercafds some pop once he gets a bus ticket north
I'm very interested in Norfork …. outside of that, i'm thinking it could possibly be a long summer. 🙁
Lippincott not appearing on the HAG roster must mean he slated for XST >>> AUB. As a 22 yr old, he's already old for GCL and really NYPL as well. But I guess that's the way the cookie crumbles.

If you have ever been worried about a zombie apocalypse, where the undead ravage the land and kill and convert the living to non-dead entities, worry no more. The U. S. military, via the top brass over at the Pentagon, have battle plans ready and waiting for just such an unlikely eventuality. But better safe than sorry, as the saying goes. And with regard to zombie hordes, the Pentagon has produced a series of doomsday scenarios for training purposes that could very well keep America safe should shambling brain-eaters rise up and become a serious threat.
Newsmax reported May 19 that the Pentagon document includes scenarios that entertain the idea of several different types of zombies that might arise during a hording apocalypse. The doomsday plan itself, submitted on April 11, 2011, exists as an unclassified document within the Defense Department's computer network. Its designation: "CONOP 8888."
Within the summary, the document reads that the report "fulfills fictional contingency planning . . . to undertake military operations to preserve 'non-zombie' humans from the threats posed by a zombie horde."
And if combatting the undead wasn't a strange enough idea in itself, the plan also calls for coming to the aid of those who normally would be considered hostile to the U. S. "Because zombies pose a threat to all non-zombie human life, [U.S. Strategic Command] will be prepared to preserve the sanctity of human life and conduct operations in support of any human population — including traditional adversaries."
Simply put: The living trump the non -- or: Better (allied with) Red than undead.
Still, it should be stressed that the actuality of a zombie acocalypse event is not overly serious (although there are those who believe that technologies and pathogens could somehow produce real zombies), the Pentagon's idea wasn't to create battle plans to stop zombies but to create detailed conditional plans for training purposes for familiarization with military planning and order development within given scenarios.
To clarify, Navy Capt. Pamela Kunze, a spokeswoman for U.S. Strategic Command, told CNN, "The document is identified as a training tool used in an in-house training exercise where students learn about the basic concepts of military plans and order development through a fictional training scenario. This document is not a U.S. Strategic Command plan."
And if you're still thinking that some members of the media have flat-lined or might have been taken in by a well-played hoax, the nation's armed forces newspaper, Stars and Stripes, relayed the original report from Foreign Policy magazine as well.
The military has contingency plans for just about any type of attack and defense scenario. However, they wanted something for training purposes that would not be taken seriously by the general population if a given exercise became public knowledge.
To wit, the document says: "Training examples for plans must accommodate the political fallout that occurs if the general public mistakenly believes that a fictional training scenario is actually a real plan. Rather than risk such an outcome by teaching our augmentees using the fictional 'Tunisia' or 'Nigeria' scenarios used at (Joint Combined Warfighting School), we elected to use a completely impossible scenario that could never be mistaken as a real plan."
So, just what is a soldier -- or anyone -- to do should they face down a zombie bent on doing whatever it is that zombies are bent on doing? "The only assumed way to effectively cause causalities to the zombie ranks by tactical force is the concentration of all firepower to the head, specifically the brain," the plan suggests. "The only way to ensure a zombie is 'dead' is to burn the zombie corpse."
The plan takes into consideration several different types of zombies, from vegetarian (yes, some are nontraditionally meat averse) to regular to chicken (an avian flu pandemic isn't scare enough?) to the fanciful "evil magic zombies" (which are created through occult experimentation). There are eight in all.
And there is, as in every good doomsday or apocalyptic scenario, a nuclear option when dealing with hordes of zombies.
"Maintain emergency plans to employ nuclear weapons within (the continental United States) to eradicate zombie hordes."
The Pentagon isn't the only government agency to formulate plans for dealing with a potential zombie apocalypse. With the advent of zombies as a pop culture phenomenon, it has followed in the footsteps of the Department of Homeland Security and the Centers for Disease Control.

Fever, 1793

The Garden
Symbolism, Imagery, Allegory
The Cook family garden is at the back of the coffeehouse and is a source of food for both the Cook family and their business. When Grandfather and Matilda return from the country, though, the garden is all dried up and overrun with weeds. Is it dead? Well, not exactly. Matilda must water the wilted plants and work the rows in order for the space to be restored to its former life. If the garden were a metaphor (hint: it sure is), what would it symbolize? Why is the image of a garden significant for this story?

Echocardiography, also called an echo test, uses sound waves to take pictures of the heart. The heart's movements can be seen on a video screen, and a videotape or a photograph can be made of the pictures.
Sometimes the probe needs to be closer to the heart to give clearer pictures, in which case the physician may order a special test called transesophageal echocardiography.
Check test results, review diagnostic imaging reports and more.

Nikon Says Japan Quake Has Not Altered Availability of Cameras in U.S.
Rumors made the rounds on the Internet this week that Nikon would be cancelling one of its point-and-shoot cameras, the Coolpix S4100, as a result of the earthquake in Japan. Not exactly true, it turns out.
According to a spokesperson for Nikon USA we communicated with, though the release of the 14MP camera and its slightly higher-end counterpart, the 16MP Coolpix S6100, have been cancelled for Japan, the two Coolpix models are available in the U.S. and the rest of "the Americas."
Here's the quote we got from Nikon USA:
"The Nikon COOLPIX S4100 and S6100 cameras are available in the Americas. As recently reported by Nikon Corporation, sales of these products are being discontinued in some markets however availability of these products in the Americas will not be impacted."
Though that news is somewhat encouraging for photographers worried about limited supplies of photo gear because of the Japan quake, camera manufacturers have clearly been affected by the disaster. How much so, we're still trying to figure out.
If you've noticed any recent shortage of photography supplies in your area, please leave a comment below.

Disney Studios is indeed hoping The Force will be with it's highly anticipated, and perhaps risky, plans to advance the Star Wars film franchise with the production of "Star Wars: Episode VII" to be directed by J.J. Abrams.
However, news officially confirmed today that stacks the deck towards the film's success is the announcement of the long rumored casting of original Star Wars trilogy characters Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia and Han Solo played by their original actors. Mark Hamill returns as Luke with Carrie Fisher reprising her role as Princess Leia and Harrison Ford as Han Solo.
Also joining the cast are original actors and characters are Anthony Daniels as C-3PO, Peter Mayhew as Chewbacca and Kenny Baker as R2-D2.
Notably left out of the official announcement was Billy Dee Williams who played Lando Calrissian, who appeared in the film's later installments of the first trilogy. However, fans may yet be surprised by an appearance by the popular character. Though, at this time, Williams appears to be out of the currently public equation.
The new cast also brings to the franchise actors Oscar Isaac, John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson and Max von Sydow. Thus far, their characters and any more details have not been announced.
Nevertheless, it is exciting to see the new and beloved past cast members gathered together for the official photo released by LucasFilm of what one may the cast's first meeting as a group and possible script "table read".
Filming on Episode VII is scheduled to start in just a few weeks with the film currently scheduled for a December 18, 2015 release date. Lawrence Kasdan, who wrote the original "The Empire Strikes Back" joins Abrams to write the film's screenplay. The legendary composer John Williams also returns to add his epic musical touch to the film's score.
Thus far, the stars look bright indeed for this next episode that appears to be set to enchant both Star Wars fans old and new.

When your child is just starting school, you may imagine that worries about her body size and shape will come with the territory later, in her teen years. But it turns out that your young child may already be worried. Kids as young as 5, 6, and 7 years old can be worried about their weight, according to experts.
"It's surprising how many kids in this age group are worried," says Eileen Stone, a child and adolescent psychologist in at Sanford Health in Fargo, N.D.
In a KidsHealth poll of more than 1,000 children ages 9 to 13, more than half said they were stressed about their weight -- no matter what their weight was.
While childhood obesity is a real problem with real consequences, no one benefits when a child, no matter her age, feels bad about herself. As a parent, what can you do to help? Stay positive and focus on health, not weight, the experts say. Here's how to spot body image worries and help your child develop a healthier self-image.
Children and Obesity: Know the Signs of Poor Body Image
Sometime the signs of poor body image can be pretty clear, Stone tells WebMD. Children may ask, "Do I look fat?" or poke at their bellies. They may stop eating foods that you know they enjoy, especially around their peers. "Sometimes they'll comment on what other kids are eating -- saying things like, 'That's not good for you,'" Stone says.
Less obvious signs that kids are worried about their weight might include:
- General anxiety
- Not participating in activities with other kids
- Using negative language to describe their bodies
- Not wanting to participate in activities where people may see more of their bodies, such as sleepovers or swimming
- General depression
- Comments such as "no one likes me"
Boosting Self-Esteem When Kids Are Worried About Their Weight
Whether your young child is overweight or not, you can help him feel better about himself -- and instill healthy habits -- with these tips from health and child nutrition experts:
Focus on health.
Don't let a young child's appearance, size, or shape become a preoccupation of yours or hers. "Try to keep the focus on health," says Chris Tiongson, MD, a pediatrician in Fargo, N.D.

So far, today has been what I will call "useless", except for it's not. I have an awfully hard time with "me" time without feeling like a selfish lout. And I did wake up feeling like I'd been hit with bricks. Why oh why, I ask you, did I challenge my sixth graders to a high kick contest(tae kwan do style) if they finished all their work? Why did I choose to win? Why did I agree to (and yes beat -- but they ARE in 6th grade) all of them in arm wrestling? Is this how I fight my "age issues"? Is this what 53 means, hurting like $%^&*!!
It took HOURS today to become motivated and MOVE today and God Bless Coach Nicole. She helps me move (when I can keep up) and somehow her voice tells me it's ok if I can't do ALL the reps, though I do try.
I didn't lose any weight this week. I knew it when I ate soup one too many times (I have tough times with salt) and went with frozen foods vs fresh. Things get so hectic that I rarely cook during the school year (well I WOULD but my husband likes to eat before 9pm -- go figure) and he's still "getting with the program" regarding weight loss (**sigh**). But I'm still workin' this program and DETERMINED to be successful.
I was moved by Sharon10002's recent blog "Loving Yourself: My Body Pledge of Allegiance". She spoke to my heart and I cried for all the times I've misused and abused this body of mine through crazy over exercising and binge eating. She helped me remember what I once knew: we are beings living from the inside out. When I fall into what our culture, my family of origin, and (most importantly) this inner exacting parent judges and criticizes and says is "correct", I MUST stop and breathe and remember what is true. Thank you Sharon! You speak truth to power, the inner power inside all of us!!
Well, I hope this wasn't the strangest ramble you've ever seen but it was indeed a ramble. Thanks for listening. I do feel better than earlier. Hope y'all have an awesome weekend! Let's keep on Sparkin' and hope to talk to you again, real soon!
"Ten mucho cuidado" means "take good care". All the best!

I can't even begin to count all the times I have beaten myself up, but over the years I have learned it is okay to fall the thing is to not stay down but to get back up that is the most important. Your blog was not a ramble it is how you felt and writing down how we feel helps. I know you can do it and I know you WILL get there, one day at a time.

Hey we all beat ourselves up sometime but no one is perfect. Just take it step by step so you don't get overwhelmed. If you feel down, take a walk..It usually helps clear your mind.
I haven't done much this week because I am sick but as soon as I get better then I will be back at it.
Give yourself a break.

It's teacher syndrome. Not doing anything oddly becomes our down times. I've changed a few of those urges by: 1.) packing a gym bag the night before and going on my way home (once i'm home nothing will happen) and 2.) making Sundays mine. I start with some SP browsing, then have breakfast, head to the gym, stop at the farmer's market and load up on FRESH veggies/fruits, and come home to grade (albeit sporadically).
I've found that fresh baggies really are so much more satisfying. Try something simple like on Sunday, weighing out 3 (or 6) ounces of baby carrots and putting 3 (or 6) ounces of each in five separate ziplocs. bring them to work on Monday and now you have a guaranteed healthy snack everyday that week. Plus the crunching is very satisfying.
You helped me and so I hope to help you... buenos suerte!

How would you rank Kanye West?
What other guys thought:
Why is Kanye West influential?
Kanye seems to be incapable of laying low. 2013 was a huge year for him, following the release of his record Yeezus, the tabloid-ready birth of his daughter with Kim Kardashian, his beef with Jimmy Kimmel, and, most recently, his engagement to said Kardashian. Sure, calling yourself a "creative genius" might require more than a substantial amount of hubris, but if we're being perfectly honest, he kind of is. Kanye ushered in the kind of hip-hop that is dominant today and serves as a poster child for the art of self-branding. Though he may have some personal flaws, he is certainly a man of his time.

Cutie Mark!I noticed that I can cook basically anything! And since I always wanted to be really good in something art related, I remembered that there is a such thing as Culinary Arts. I think that''s what I'm good at! I can make perfect because of my nervous nature that everything is going to burn down to the ground, making me very aware of what I'm cooking and not allowing myself to leave the kitchen until all of it is done.
Down to Business!
On another note, I've been using my brother's laptop and he has finally given me the right to download MMD and PMDE. That of course means that there will be more models, however, I will need to get back into the hang of it.

I know this probably has a really straightforward answer, specially if it is as standard as it is entuitive to visualize. Still, because i'm not experienced at all on working with this objects and im just learning by myself, i would like to see a formal proof of the following facts, please : (# means the CONNECTED SUM) (i) $(\mathbb{R}\mathbb{P}^{2})\#(\mathbb{R} \mathbb{P}^{2}) = K^{2}$ (where $\mathbb{R}\mathbb{P}^{2}$ is the projective plane and $K^{2}$ is the Klein Bottle) (ii) $(\mathbb{R}\mathbb{P}^{2})\#(T^{2}) = (\mathbb{R}\mathbb{P}^{2})\#(K^{2})$ (where $T^{2}$ is a torus)
Im sorry if the question is annoying, but i dont know how to start, i can just see how it works if i draw or visualize, but i would like to see a rigourous proof. Again, sorry if its really obvious, but im just learning this by myself.
Thank you a lot

Hey I cooked twice this week too! And even more.....people not married to me said they liked it. Definitely a sign of the apocalypse.

It's going to be a rolling apocalypse. It'll happen at 12:01 local time, which is great for you because you'll be able to watch all the time zones before you.
I predict this will be as cataclysmic as Y2K. The humanity.

I want to setup an automatic backup system using rsync to backup documents/source code from Mac OS X to Ubuntu Server.
I have some documents written in Pages (iWork), and lastly when I tried to backup these to the server, they looked like archive-files since Ubuntu OS don't recognize the Mac OS X specific file format *.pages. When I then took one of these files from the server and tried to open it in Pages on the Macbook, it couldn't open it!
This just can't happen, so how (if possible) can I get rid of this issue and ensure that even operating system specific files can be opened after the backup?
Kind regards, Ramon

What cap for X100/s with lens hood?

A 49mm centre-pinch cap (on filter) works fine - easy to fit/remove unless you have bananas for fingers
And if you do have banana size fingers or if your fingers are forever busy with bananas it's little trouble to snap OFF the lens shade, snap ON the lens cover, and then snap ON the lens shade once more. Certainly less bother than attempting a butt ugly solution such as that 58mm monstrosity shown.
Or, perhaps, wrap the thought that no photo whatsoever is obtained with a covered lens into the workflow and leave all thought of lens covers behind, banished to the wide field of unproductive effort.

Navigator Yachts hull shape was designed with one thing in mind: make the best use of a minimum amount of fuel and horsepower, and retain the maximum amount of boat speed and efficiency. In doing so, Navigator created a wide hull shape that is stable at rest and at displacement speed, while achieving 30% less wetted running surface when on a plane. The result is a hull with much less drag, a significantly smoother ride, and far better fuel economy.
* Vessel load, sea conditions, engine and option packages can vary. Data observed on Hull 48T-01 with 1/2 fuel and full water load, calm seas, calm wind, 47deg ambient air temperature. Data taken with onboard engine data and GPS speed over ground two directions with correction for wind and current.

We failed at the spoons and the washtub bass. We've spent hours trying - and failing - to make a jug hum. Our last hope at fulfilling our weird instrument fetish is this set of Gold Musical Wine Glasses ($80). Fill each one to the level of the pitch you want, and a moist finger on the rim will have it singing. Maybe someday, we can get as good as this guy.

A City An Artist
We asked world-renowned harpist Şirin Pancaroğlu about her city, Ankara.
Where does Ankara figure in your life?
Ankara is where I was born and grew up, where I had my first memorable experiences. I have strong ties to Ankara. Although I've gone to Ankara only for concerts in recent years, I still love the city.
What role did Ankara play in
your development as an artist?
An enormous although indirect role. We listened to a lot of classical music at home when I was little, especially guitar music. There was a community in Ankara that loved guitar and my father was part of that.
What is your favorite season in Ankara?
I love the Ankara summers. The air is dry and the evenings are always cool. It makes a very pleasant contrast. Sometimes you have to dress warmly on a July evening. It's like having two seasons in one day.
What are some things that any visitor should definitely do in Ankara?
A visitor should definitely see the inside of the Ankara Castle in Ulus, Arslanhane Mosque, the Ethnographical Museum and the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations.
Do you have an unforgettable memory connected with Ankara that you could share with us?
We used to go to Ataturk Farm to eat ice cream. It was sold in individual portions in Dixie Cups. I will never forget the taste of the flavor made with Turkish clotted cream.
Şirin Pancaroğlu's new concert project, which she developed together with Jean-Christophe Frisch, musical director of XIII-21 Nomade, will be held in Paris at 8 p.m. on Thursday, 8 October. Incorporating an Ottoman string instrument known as the 'çeng' and its European counterpart, the arpa doppia, the concert is an intercultural musical dialogue based on themes of travel and imagination.

As a retiree, you face three primary risks: inflation, health care expenses, and longevity. But you can take practical steps to minimize these risks.
Over time, the prices of goods and services rise and inflation erodes the purchasing power of your income. What can you do about inflation?
Health Care
Health care expenses tend to rise faster than the general rate of inflation. As a modern retiree, you are more likely to age and live longer than any generation in the past, so medical expenses likely will become a larger percentage of your budget, especially in the later years of life. What can you do about health care expenses?
Longevity risk is the possibility that you will outlive your savings. One-half of the population will pass away before age 78—the current average life expectancy—but one-half of the population will live beyond that age, too. What can you do about longevity risk? Depending on your situation as you prepare for retirement, consider the following:

Travel is widely believed to broaden the mind and enrich the soul. The famous saying, i.e ¡ °reading ten thousand books equals traveling ten thousand meter ¡ ± indicates that travel can enlarge people ¡ ¯s knowledge efficiently.
Travel ¡ ¯s favorable influences on people are mainly reflected on the following aspects. First of all, travel helps people relieve and cultivate the mind. Nature has mysterious power. In the bosom of Mother Nature, people can easily relax. Traveling to a beautiful and peaceful place and staying away from the city ¡ ¯s hustle and bustle is the best way to relieve pressure. After their batteries recharging through travel, people can open their mind and confront life with a better mood. Secondly, travel enables people to enhance culture upbringing. Travel provides opportunities for experiencing different cultures, which gives people different outlook on life. For example, an Indian mosque and a Chinese quadrangle are both based on their respective unique culture background. Through observing, travelers can feel other traditions and understand different views, hence getting rid of their prejudices. Not only does travel allow people to see new cultures, it also often allows them to learn the roots of their own cultures. By comparing the life in different social systems or under different governments, travelers can find out the advantages and disadvantages of their own cultures and customs. They become more thoughtful; they will appreciate their countries' history and traditions but will not follow them blindly at the same time.
All in all, travel makes it possible for people to feel the outside world in person. Without it, people would be like a frog in a well, so to speak. In other words, they would have a very limited outlook. As Bruce Chatwin aptly puts it, ¡ °Travel doesn't merely broaden the mind. It makes the mind ¡ ±.


text: Get lean and 'green' 10 tips from UPS you can implement today to make your supply chain more sustainable. Rate this article. April 2011 Sometimes less really is more. Take sustainability, for example. Less consumption – of energy, water, paper, fuel and other natural resources – is much more. More responsible. More environmentally friendly. And sometimes even more efficient and economical. Of course, going green can have its challenges, especially if you're just getting started. That's where UPS can help. As a longtime leader in sustainability, we have many practical ideas your company can integrate into your business today. 10 ways to green your supply chain1. Shift your shipping modes from air to ground or from ground to rail or ocean. Slower forms of transportation typically have less impact on the environment. Learn about UPS options for rail and ocean freight.2. Improve the strength of your packages so there's less damage, and therefore less re-shipping, which doubles your carbon impact. UPS® Packaging Solutions can help you develop and test the right packaging for your shipments.3. Reuse packing materials such as foam peanuts and air packs – but remember, not all boxes are meant to be reused. Want to know which can and can't? This story explains. Need to get rid of extra packing peanuts? The UPS Store® near you will take them. Find the closest location. (Story continues at the "Continue reading" link below.) 4. Look for reusable document shipping envelopes – and encourage your customers to use them when returning documents to you. Ordering them from UPS is easy! Labels, air shipping packages and more are available free of charge to UPS shippers. You can even use My UPS to easily reorder the supplies you use frequently.5. Let your carrier know when you don't need a daily pickup to save fuel. Customizing your UPS pickup schedule is simple.6. Use the right size box. Too big a box means more packing material and wasted space on the trucks or airplanes that deliver your goods. Check out the UPS Packaging Advisor for tips on choosing the right packaging materials and other tips on proper packaging to reduce damage and use less materials.7. Find ways to consolidate your shipments to the same destinations. This can be particularly efficient when you're shipping overseas. UPS can help get your goods where they need to be with less chance of delay with its customs brokerage services.8. Because ground transportation produces fewer carbon emissions than air shipping, consider slowing down your supply chain. Ask yourself: Does this shipment have to get there tomorrow? Or would two days be just fine? If your shipment has to get there faster, consider shipping carbon neutral with UPS to offset the carbon impact.Oops, we were so focused on doing more with less that we cut this list down to eight! But we know there are more ideas out there that you're using to green your supply chain. If you have an idea for saving fuel, paper, water, energy or other natural resources, we want to hear it!

Needs Of Facility And Its Programs Getting A Look
January 22, 2014 | Volume 101 / Number 4
Bonnie Davidson / The Courier
The library's computers get a lot of use by students and adults on afternoons and weekends, but the space and computers are limited during busy times. Computer use is just one of a series of issues the City-County Library faces as it tries to come up with short- and long-term plans to improve it.
With a new school funded by local taxpayers, along with tight city and county budgets, it seems like squeezing more funds from somewhere could be an uphill battle. Tight budgets have left some concern to those who enjoy going to the City-County Library in Glasgow.
Library board members and other community members attended a meeting over the weekend. Their sole purpose was to figure out what the library's long-term needs are, and what to do with the library in the short term to make improvements. The group focused on the needs of different age groups and the needs of the building with regard...

The 10-year-old escapes unhurt after he is dug from the narrow hole in a six-hour operation in northern China.
15:34, UK, Wednesday 12 March 2014
A boy has been rescued after falling down a 36ft-deep well too narrow for rescuers to climb down.
Firefighters took six hours to free the 10-year-old from the 40cm-wide hole in a village in Hebei Province, north China.
They used three excavators to clear earth from around the well and pumped oxygen into the chamber to keep him alive.
Rescuers finally broke through a section of the well wall to reach the boy.
Doctors said the youngster suffered only slight bruises.

placenta is on cervix
what happens when the placenta is on the cervix

It is called placenta previa. If it is early in your pregnancy, there is a very good chance the placenta will move. In the meantime you should be on pelvic rest (no intercourse) and will probably have ultrasounds to monitor the placenta. If the placenta does not move, you will have a scheduled c-section.posted 04/01/2010 by sugar&spiceX3

In Ubuntu 14.04 you also need to install the postgresql-9.3-postgis-scripts package. After I ran sudo apt-get install postgis postgresql-9.3-postgis-scripts I was then able to successfully run CREATE EXTENSION postgis; in my database to initialise PostGIS.
CentOS will work if you stick with a version that corresponds to one of the supported versions of RHEL but I doubt you'll have much luck with Ubuntu.
I have it on a verbal authority from ESRI that they were looking at Ubuntu during the ArcGIS 10 Beta. so based on this it is in the pipeline but how far they have gotten I could only speculate
Hallo It looks like you need Boost libraries. Probably you have not installed boost dev files. HTH Nicklas
A quick way to get up and running is to simply install the OSGeo Live DVD, which already has pgRouting pre-installed and configured. I set it up as a virtual machine using either VMWare Player or VirtualBox, both free to use.
If you can find a postgis.sql file, you can run that into your database (and the spatial_ref_sys.sql file) to manually spatialize your database. Report the missing control file to the packager, that's a big problem.
While the ArcGIs 9.4 (later 10) Beta was underway I was made aware that Esri was looking into Ubuntu but at this stage it is not supported, and does not work. In saying this it does depend on which portion of ArcGIS Server you are looking at. If you are looking at the database portion, then you can install the database on your Ubuntu Server and then install ...

You'd have to install the repository first sudo rpm -Uvh http://elgis.argeo.org/repos/6/elgis-release-6-6_0.noarch.rpm Then to install QGIS sudo yum install qgis qgis-python qgis-grass qgis-mapserver or try this sudo yum --enablerepo=elgis install qgis qgis-grass qgis-python qgis-mapserver If that still doesn't work, could you try searching for it ...
@troublemaker, I do have that setup, except using CentOS 5.5, and postgres 8.3.8. Additionally, I have GEOS 3.2.2-CAPI-1.6.2 and PROJ-4.7.1. I am able to access the database through ArcCatalog, load data and access it through ArcMap. I'm sorry I don't remember the specifics on getting SDE running on it. Although I am running 10, I found the 9.3 ...
The wps module is a separate package on Linux. yum install geoserver-wps should do it.
Trying to build from source without root access is near impossible on CentOS. I have figured out that really the only practical way to solve this issue is using a conda package (for the Anaconda python distribution) built by Jose The solution is to run this on a fresh install of Anaconda (step three being the important one): conda update conda conda update ...
If you're willing to do the compiling yourself, then you might follow my instructions here.

While the instructions are specific for Ubuntu systems, it's fairly clear which ...
To avoid "layer is not valid" errors you should carefully set your QGIS prefix path. The prefix path must be set to let QGIS know where to find resources such as data providers and the reference system database.

To start geoserver on boot goto /etc and vi rc.local and add the following(Geoserver installation folder with the startup.sh path) which specifies the JAVA_HOME and GEOSERVER_HOME for the boot up and save the file.

Bit of a cr@ppy answer - but it works. Unfortunately, it doesn't really solve the route cause. I resolved my issue by changing the build to use static libraries instead. ./configure --with-fgdb=/data/HOMEDIRS/SAI/dev/src/FileGDB_API --with-pg=/usr/bin/pg_config --prefix=/usr --without-ld-shared --disable-shared --enable-static
GDAL itself can certainly be built and used/installed without root access on most *nix type systems. In these cases, I usually create a file structure to contain both the final GDAL build itself and all of its dependencies that the host OS doesn't already have. But, you could have them in separate folders as well as long as you have your path, LD_CONFIG, ...
Have you checked the Tomcat/ Geoserver logs for errors? I am curious if there are java memory errors that might be influencing the error you described. I have noticed CPU and memory go through the roof when caching wms layers on the fly from large tables. Your system is pretty robust but you will need to configure java to utilize the system to your needs. ...
You have installed a newer version of geos (3.4.1 vs 3.3.8) on your system, which is from the opengeo repository. QGIS-Grass requires 3.3.8 to run. You can downgrade this library to version 3.3.8 from the elgis repo, but that may fail, if other applications requires the newer library. In which case you have to decide if you want to keep the other ...
Building on baudinseb's answer, I changed my POSTGRESQL_EXECUTABLE:FILEPATH from POSTGRESQL_EXECUTABLE-NOTFOUND to /usr/bin. Found that using which psql. Anyway. Also installed postgresql-server-dev-9.1 with apt-get. I'm on to the next step. Shame on somebody for this. How on earth could you set up an install package to FAIL NO MATTER WHAT and leave NO ...
You also had a similar error and to resolve it I made a modification in the CMakeCache.txt file. Look at the line which contains POSTGRESQL_EXECUTABLE:FILEPATH and update with your real postgresql filepath. Hopefully it will help you
Per the Nominatim installation instructions, it expects the installation system user and the DB user are named the same, the DB installation user be a superuser AND the pg_hba.conf have trust set for that user. So yes, it is expected to connect without providing a username / password.
I (or rather one of my co-workers ) figured out the solution. In the config-gui.xml file, there are entries for http:// localhost :8080/geonetwork/web - changing these to just /geonetwork/web and restarting the server fixed the issue. (I put the additional spaces around localhost so it wouldn't appear as a web address!)
10 postgres support I didn't answer with what you have to do. The link provides direction on the software stack that "is" supported. I am certain that there are unsupported stacks running successfully. However outside of "supported", help would have to come from someone who has the same, (such as mfrancis). So in my opinion that is the answer you should ...
The main problem is as soon as you install any OS to the VirtualBox it will be a non-licensed copy or it will cost as licensed. It would be better to install ArcGIS to a Ubuntu computer itself without anything in between ...

The honeybee is causing a lot of trouble for their distant cousins as they are actually killing them. ABC News reported on Feb. 19, 2014, that a "bumblebees disease" is happening due to the wild bumblebees contracting the deadly sickness from the honeybees.
Bumblebees are extremely essential to the world due to their pollination of so many flowers and food as well. This is especially true for greenhouse tomatoes, according to insect experts. The bumblebees disease is hurting the poor creatures even more as well.
"Wild populations of bumblebees appear to be in significant decline across Europe, North America, South America and also in Asia," said study author Mark Brown of the University of London. He said his study confirmed that a major source of the decline was "the spillover of parasites and pathogens and disease" from managed honeybee hives.
Studies have shown that two kids of bees appear to be trading the disease. About 750 bees in 26 country-wide sites throughout Great Britain were studied along with a large amount of lab work so it could be seen how the bumblebees disease was being spread around.
It appears as if the small amount of disease just keeps spreading out and turning almost into a plague of sorts.
Studies have not 100 percent proven that the diseases go from honeybees to bumblebees, but it could very well be accurate. Bumblebees are likely to get the diseases from flowers they pollinate after honeybees have already infected them.
It's also possible that bumblebee diseases come from them getting into honeybee hives and stealing nectar that has been contaminated.
Hives of bumblebees have been looked at in an interesting fashion and it is no surprise that the disease spreads quickly.
"It's like Wal-Mart versus a mom-and-pop store," University of Illinois entomology professor May Berenbaum said in an interview.

Model, Sensor, Large Format Camera
The Large Format Camera (LFC) flew on a Space Shuttle mission in 1984, photographing large swaths of the Earth's surface.
Originally developed for use in high-altitude aircraft, the camera took its name from its large format film (23 x 46 cm). This film size, in combination with the camera's special optics, allowed the LFC to capture in a single frame more than 60,000 square kilometers (23,400 square miles) with enough resolution to distinguish buildings and roads. The images helped in creating precise, detailed maps and aided in geological analysis, environmental monitoring, and urban planning.
The museum's artifact is a model of the camera and associated electronics, but includes real optics, which can be seen through a cutaway. ITEK Corporation donated the model to the Museum in 1985.

Author(s): Helmut Puff
During the late Middle Ages, a considerable number of men in Germany and Switzerland were executed for committing sodomy. Even in the seventeenth century, simply speaking of the act was cause for censorship. Here, in the first history of sodomy in these countries, Helmut Puff argues that accusations of sodomy during this era were actually crucial to the success of the Protestant Reformation. Drawing on both literary and historical evidence, Puff shows that speakers of German associated sodomy with Italy and, increasingly, Catholicism. As the Reformation gained momentum, the formerly unspeakable crime of sodomy gained a voice, as Martin Luther and others deployed accusations of sodomy to discredit the upper ranks of the Church and to create a sense of community among Protestant believers. During the sixteenth century, reactions against this defamatory rhetoric, and fear that mere mention of sodomy would incite sinful acts, combined to repress even court cases of sodomy.
