May 13
[For my determined purpose is] that I may know Him that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding
[the wonders of His Person]more strongly and more clearly. And that I may in that same way
come to know the power outflowing from His resurrection.
Philippians 3:10
The more you fellowship with God around His Word, the more you'll know the "power outflowing from His resurrection." You'll develop joy. You'll develop faith. You'll start developing God's own characteristics... just by fellowshipping with Him. You'll begin to understand who you really are in Jesus.
I remember one day I was reading the story of the woman with the issue of blood who touched the hem of Jesus' garment and was healed.
I'd read the story many times and pictured myself as almost everybody in the story...just experiencing how it would feel to be someone in the crowd or even the one who was healed.
Suddenly God spoke to my spirit and said, "Read that again and this time picture yourself as the one wearing the garment."
I was stunned. "Lord," I said, "how can I do that? I can't take Your place!"
"That's just what's wrong with the Body of Christ," He told me. "That's the reason the world doesn't know anything about Jesus. You identify with everyone except Me. But I sent you to be MY witnesses, to imitate ME, to stand in MY place...not everybody else's!"
So, I read that story again. This time I pictured myself in the role of the one with the anointing of the Holy Ghost. Instead of crawling up to touch the hem of His garment, I was the one wearing the garment, freely giving what God had given me. After all, the Bible does say, "Clothe yourself with the Lord Jesus Christ."
Did you know who scares the devil most of all? Believers who've found out they can do that. Believers who, instead of begging for a little touch from Jesus, are letting His very life flow out to others.
Come on, give the devil a scare. Fellowship with your Father around the Word and start discovering who you really are today.

Sprint 5 - Cultural blog on Reflection
What are three new things you have learned about yourself and your ego as a result of the core learning?
It is difficult to write about yourself and post to strangers.
How easy it can be for the mind to wonder during meditation.
I was easily fustrated by road blocks in my work, thus making the time pressure more obvious.
What has surprised you the most about the core learning?
That I need to put more focus on A “growth mindset.” I need to see failure not as evidence of unintelligence but as growth and for stretching our existing abilities.
What were the most challenging aspects of the core learning?
Not letting your mind wonder. Maybe changing the blogs into our own words, rather than copying the first thing in google.
Why do you think we, a programming school, are spending so much time focusing on core learning in a web development bootcamp course?
So that students are employable straight from graduatuon. It is often said that students directly from study courses do not have the human skills required for the work place.
Does the time you spent studying core learning here feel like a waste of time? Should you have just used that time to practicing programming instead? Justify your answer.
Not for all of it. I see benefit in understanding the way people learn. I think some of the core had very closed or irrelevant questions. I think focus on indusrty, or types of people could be helpful and managment techniques.
More broken down quiz like questions or more practice on just sectins of code would be beneficial.


by Curtis Edmonds --<EMAIL_ADDRESS>I caught Go on the rebound. My chosen movie for the evening was Lee Marvin leading The Dirty Dozen, playing at Austin's Paramount Theater (www.theparamount.org) as part of their summer classic movie series. Unfortunately, when the MGM lion appeared at the start of the movie, he didn't roar. The Paramount's sound system was missing in action. After a couple of false starts, the theater manager announced that they couldn't get the sound rolling, and that re-admit passes would be waiting at the box office. (Note to film preservationists: According to the Paramount people, this is the only 35mm reel of The Dirty Dozen in existence, and what I saw of it looked badly faded.)
I had two dollars in my pocket -- drinks and popcorn at the Paramount are reasonably priced, thank goodness -- which meant that the only available cure for cinema interruptis was a trip to the dollar movie, where Go looked like the best of a mixed bag. In one of the opening scenes, three supermarket clerks are sitting in the back of the store, playing a "Dead Celebrities" word game, and one throws out the name, "Lee Marvin". I was in the right place.
Go's cinematic origins, though, have less to do with Lee Marvin and more to do with Quentin Tarantino. Go actually starts in a small cafe with a young man and a young woman chatting about nothing, a conversation that is recapitulated in the last third of the movie. Pulp Fiction fans will recognize this homage, and will feel right at home with Go's interlocking tripartite narrative. Go takes place in the same seedy underbelly of Los Angeles that houses the Tarantino universe, but its characters are younger, hipper, and less cynical. Nobody in Go eats Big Kahuna Burgers or hangs out at Jackrabbit Slim's or reads Modesty Blaise on the can. They're too busy dancing at rave parties and worrying about how to pay the rent. Unlike the businesslike hitmen in Pulp Fiction, the characters in Go are likable and spunky: there aren't any bad guys in this movie to speak of.
To reveal much of the twisty plot of Go would be to spoil it entirely. As the movie's theme song suggests, Go is a Magic Carpet Ride, whizzing up, down, and all around, back and forth through time and space, with all the plot points intricately woven together in a tight-knit pattern. The narrative skips from a dumpy Los Angeles supermarket (one almost expects The Dude from The Big Lebowski to shuffle by in his bathrobe) to the Strip in Las Vegas to a Christmas Eve rave party in an abandoned warehouse. Oddball characters abound, from a pair of blissed-out Vegas bridesmaids to a supermarket checker who gets stoned to the point where he can hear cats talk, to a police couple with... shall we say... outside interests.
Since I can't talk about the plot much -- other to say that it's a hoot -- I'll concentrate on the first-rate job by the ensemble cast. The two most familiar faces belong to Jay Mohr and William Fichtner. You will remember Mohr as the rival super-agent Burt Sugar from the sainted Jerry Maguire, where he spent the movie stealing scenes and clients from Tom Cruise. Here, he's struggling young actor Zack, who we first see planning a pre-rave partner with fellow actor Adam (Scott Wolf) that, apparently, requires mass quantities of frozen concentrated orange juice. Fichtner was last seen as the shuttle pilot in Armageddon, whose job was to delay the movie so that Bruce Willis could wait until the last possible second to destroy the asteroid. In Go, Fichtner graduates from being the poor man's Christopher Walken up to the relatively-well-off man's Christopher Walken. He's got the same role that Kevin Spacey had in L.A. Confidential, policeman to the stars, and if he plays the part with less panache than Spacey, he more than makes up for it in creepiness.
But the real stars of Go are the younger actors, and they get a splendid chance to shine here. The first third of the movie focuses on the aforementioned supermarket clerks. Sarah Polley is nothing short of hypnotic as the supermarket checker who decides, almost impulsively, to branch out into drug sales. You don't see that many anti-heroines out there, but Polley is everything you'd want in such a character, smart, tough, streetwise, brave, ready to take a risk, and ready to bail out if the need arises. Her sidechick is Katie Holmes, who appears to be on TV in something called Dawson's Creek that I've never heard of. She's got the movie's first, enigmatic lines, but she mostly tags along behind Polley's character. Nathan Bexton does some good scene-stealing work as their stoned friend.
In the second third of the movie, Go shifts abruptly from twisty drug intrigue to full-scale male fantasy movie. Young British actor Desmond Askew and Taye Diggs tear a wide swath through Las Vegas, getting into more trouble in half an hour than most of us can manage all year. Askew is interesting as a second-generation Austin Powers, ineptly roaming the casinos. Taye Diggs doesn't get much screen time, but manages to leave an impression of being the incarnation of cool.
There are a couple more things I could say about the movie, but Go is at its best when it manages to surprise the audience -- and it does so with style. Go is a surprisingly good movie with some really exceptional ensemble performances by some talented young actors. (It's not The Dirty Dozen, of course, but what is nowadays?)

Programmers and coders use procedural thinking - taking a big problem and breaking down the solution into a set of steps - in order to write valid and useful code. Some examples of procedural thinking are the following:
Programmers need to write the way a computer understands. You need to know the correct “syntax.”
Why? Because the computer can’t read your mind, it can only interpret what it sees in the code. If you forget to end a tag with a closing element, for example, forget to end an “em” tag, then it will assume that you want the rest of the narrative to be italicized.
This idea just highlights the fact that programmers, in this day of readily available information on the internet, shouldn’t feel that they need to memorize everything like in the past. You can just look it up. It’s more important to understand basic concepts.
Invented 1990’s - now has 30 billion webpages, it's basically a collection of HTML documents (HTML = Hypertext Markup Language). HTML language is what glues everything together on the web - text, videos, images. The links between webpages is what makes the web “weblike.”
 The browser makes requests via the internet to servers with a protocol called HTTP, or Hypertext Transfer Protocol. The server responds with files that your browser displays - browsers include IE, Chrome, Firefox. Servers are computers that are optimized for hosting files instead of browsing.
HTML docs are the heart of the web and are made up of:
HTML markup: HTML markup is made up of tags, which are constructed like this: <opening tag>content</closing tag>. Examples:
Image tag:  is used to download images. For example: . “Url” is for the image to download. “Text” is for broken requests - the text that is displayed if image does not load. The image tag does not have or need a closing tag - it’s a “void tag” - it has no content.
Whitespace: When you enter text in multiple lines, in HTML it renders it in single space.
 is to create a space break. This is another example of a void tag. To make double spaces you can use either a
 or a
 tag. To use
 as a double space, you just use two in a row:

 is a “block text” - you need a closing tag:
 narrative

Inline and block elements: "br" is an “inline element” - just ends a line. "p" narrative is a “block element” - it makes an invisible box to put narrative. The box has width and height.
Span and Div Elements: The "Span" and "Div" tags contain their content: Span is inline and is written like this:  text . Div is block and is written like this:
 text . Unlike **div**, which is formatted with line breaks, the **span** element does not have any automatic formatting. In addition to being a block element, **div** also allows you to put footnotes on the page with a **div** element to indicate that everything inside of that div is "footnote material". And you could also style a **div** element by adding a specific class or ID to it.

SCENE III. Another room in the castle.
(Enter KING CLAUDIUS, attended)
KING CLAUDIUS
I have sent to seek him, and to find the body.
How dangerous is it that this man goes loose!
Yet must not we put the strong law on him:
He's loved of the distracted multitude,
Who like not in their judgment, but their eyes;
And where tis so, the offender's scourge is weigh'd,
But never the offence. To bear all smooth and even,
This sudden sending him away must seem
Deliberate pause: diseases desperate grown
By desperate appliance are relieved,
Or not at all.
(Enter ROSENCRANTZ)
How now! what hath befall'n?
ROSENCRANTZ
Where the dead body is bestow'd, my lord,
We cannot get from him.
KING CLAUDIUS
But where is he?
ROSENCRANTZ
Without, my lord; guarded, to know your pleasure.
KING CLAUDIUS
Bring him before us.
ROSENCRANTZ
Ho, Guildenstern! bring in my lord.
(Enter HAMLET and GUILDENSTERN)
KING CLAUDIUS
Now, Hamlet, where's Polonius?
HAMLET
At supper.
KING CLAUDIUS
At supper! where?
HAMLET
Not where he eats, but where he is eaten: a certain
convocation of politic worms are e'en at him.
KING CLAUDIUS
Alas, alas!
HAMLET
A man may fish with the worm that hath eat of a
king, and cat of the fish that hath fed of that worm.
KING CLAUDIUS
What dost you mean by this?
HAMLET
Nothing but to show you how a king may go a
progress through the guts of a beggar.
KING CLAUDIUS
Where is Polonius?
HAMLET
In heaven; send hither to see: if your messenger
find him not there, seek him i' the other place
yourself. But indeed, if you find him not within
this month, you shall nose him as you go up the
stairs into the lobby.
KING CLAUDIUS
[To some Attendants] Go seek him there.
HAMLET
He will stay till ye come.
(Exeunt Attendants)
KING CLAUDIUS
Hamlet, this deed, for thine especial safety,—
Which we do tender, as we dearly grieve
For that which thou hast done,—must send thee hence
With fiery quickness: therefore prepare thyself;
The bark is ready, and the wind at help,
The associates tend, and every thing is bent
For England.
HAMLET
For England!
KING CLAUDIUS
Ay, Hamlet.
HAMLET
Good.
KING CLAUDIUS
So is it, if thou knew'st our purposes.
HAMLET
I see a cherub that sees them. But, come; for
England! Farewell, dear mother.
KING CLAUDIUS
Thy loving father, Hamlet.
HAMLET
My mother: father and mother is man and wife; man
and wife is one flesh; and so, my mother. Come, for England!
(Exit)
KING CLAUDIUS
Follow him at foot; tempt him with speed aboard;
Delay it not; I'll have him hence to-night:
Away! for every thing is seal'd and done
That else leans on the affair: pray you, make haste.
(Exeunt ROSENCRANTZ and GUILDENSTERN)
And, England, if my love thou hold'st at aught—
As my great power thereof may give thee sense,
Since yet thy cicatrice looks raw and red
After the Danish sword, and thy free awe
Pays homage to us—thou mayst not coldly set
Our sovereign process; which imports at full,
By letters congruing to that effect,
The present death of Hamlet.
(Exit)

"..A comedy you can't refuse.."
Paul Vitti (Robert De Niro) is one of the most known and feared mafia leaders in the U.S. A man that has handled "the family business" his entire life. But then a strange thing happens. Paul can't sleep, he keeps thinking about his wife, while being with his regularly girlfriend. But what's most important - he lost his ability to kill. Ben Sobol (Billy Chrystal) is one of the most known and respected psychiatrists in the U.S. - a man really living the American dream, surrounded by perfection. But no one realizes is that underneath he is rather ordinary kind of man, with a son, a fiancé (Lisa Kudrow) and the same problems as everyone else.
By some peculiar circumstances these two men, so different in personality and way of life, meet. Sobol is then offered a doubting privilege of being Vitti's "underground shrink". This is the beginning of a strange relationship, which will not only bring the two men closer to each other, but also change their personalities, completing them by their opposites.
This is Harold Ramis'amusing comedy. Instead of trying to squeeze laughter out of us by bad jokes and other desperate measures (think "Mafia" !), "Analyze This" is actually funny and entertaining, because of the humorous situations, fine acting and witty dialogue. Instead of repeating the horrible comedy clichés, Ramis is actually using them to get a shine of self-parody to his film. This interesting tactic is effective and amusing, allowing satire, referring to De Niro's screen past, and yet keeping the focus on the strange friendship between two men who speak entirely on different levels and in languages.
The fact that Robert De Niro is playing a mafia chieftain in this kind of film is interesting indeed. The actor has almost become a trademark for "godfathers" and mafia leaders. While playing his part with a sense of self-parody, he manages to not overact, so that his character does not seem silly or unreal. He really is a magnificent actor, that manages to float into every role, be that emotional drama or light comedy; and although this is not an award worthy performance, this is one of his most amusing roles, for which he deserves some credit. Lisa Kudrow, Vitty's "people", and other supporting characters in the story are almost unnoticeable, as the director concentrates his energy on the two main characters. And jet, although this is a comedy, and both the events, characters and their interrelations with each other are glamorized and simplified, this is also an interesting and nuanced meditation of what it means to be an Italian functioning in an America where Italian is an synonym for pizza and "The Godfather", as well as giving us an interesting peek into mobster mentality. Those particular elements are not especially explored simply because t his isn't a deeply involving human drama. The characters are thin as bible paper, many parallel stories and relationships are started, but not completed, leaving them unfinished; and the film itself isn't an elegantly crafted cinematic experience, but I guarantee you a good time and a good laugh.
"Analyze This" is a funny, clever and well crafted piece of moviemaking, which although won't make history, will entertain and amuse many before it's forgotten, and that's exactly its purpose.

IN & OUT (Paramount Pictures) Like a senior citizen with a nose-ring, "In & Out" wears its hipness rather uncomfortably. A comedy that makes a half-hearted attempt to address the currently trendy subject of "coming out," "In & Out" has many funny moments, a typically charming performance by Kevin Kline and a boatload of good intentions. Why then does it feel so curiously hollow?
Part of the problem lies in the screenplay by Paul Rudnick, a bright, sassy writer (he penned "Jeffrey" and ghostwrites the "If You Ask Me" column by Libby Gelman-Waxner in Premiere). Rudnick's central idea is a takeoff on Tom Hanks' famous acceptance speech at the Oscars in 1993, when he thanked his high-school teacher for inspiration in creating the character of the gay attorney in "Philadelphia."
In "In & Out," Matt Dillon (cleverly sending up Ethan Hawke and similar high-minded young actors) is cast as Cameron Drake, who wins an Oscar for his performance as a gay soldier in something called "To Serve and Protect"; in the process, he beats out Steven Seagal, nominated for "Snowball In Hell." Picking up the prize, Drake gives credit to his high-school English teacher Howard Brackett (Kline), which thrills Brackett, his fiancee Emily (Joan Cusack) and Brackett's parents (Debbie Reynolds and Wilford Brimley), all watching back home in Greenleaf, Indiana.  That turns out to be news to everyone, even, it appears, Howard, who's been planning to wed Emily that Sunday after a three-year engagement.
It's no time at all before the tiny town is buzzing with local gossip and reporters anxious for details. Among the newshounds is Peter Malloy (Tom Selleck, looking like he's seen better days), who dogs Brackett, determined to get a career-saving exclusive. The rest of the story follows Brackett's desperate attempts to assert his masculinity and heterosexuality, his mom's efforts to keep the wedding on track, and the town's struggle to determine exactly what to think about this bombshell.
Amusing moments abound in the film, as Brackett has to fend off questions like "do you know Ellen?", and has to defend the honor of Barbra Streisand against a lout who claims "she was too old for "Yentl"." But Rudnick seems to be reining himself in: Every time the movie seems on the verge of taking off into something truly wild and edgy, it quickly retreats, almost apologetically. The big moment in "In & Out," a lingering kiss between Brackett and Malloy, is not exactly going to rock anybody's world in 1997, and that image is as far out as the film is willing to go. Rudnick's maudlin tendencies emerge in the final reel, in the form of a lengthy "Dead Poets Society"-style scene that falls resoundingly flat.
Director Frank Oz doesn't help matters. Though he did a terrific job with the Steve Martin-Michael Caine vehicle "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" years ago, Oz never finds a rhythm here. Many scenes in "In & Out" either end abruptly or wind down without much of a punch. Everyone seems to be taking their best shot at keeping things lively, but there's a stifling inertia that seems to hang over the whole film like heavy humidity, and the comic sparks never fly.

Green Party manifesto: 'The UK will be zero carbon by 2030'
by LBCThe Green Party has launched its election manifesto with a pledge to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2030.
The party says it will create a "new green deal" to tackle climate change, investing £100 billion per year until 2030.
The deal would mainly be paid for through borrowing.Within their manifesto, the party also pledged to increase NHS funding, hold a second Brexit referendum and give 16 and 17 year olds the vote.
Launching the manifesto at an event in London, co-leader Jonathan Bartley said it was the "most ambitious green deal anywhere in the world."
He continued: "This will put us back on track to decarbonise every single sector of the economy by 2030, while delivering social justice across Britain.
"Our very planet is raising the alarm. Hitting snooze for another 15 years is simply not an option."
The party will be standing in 498 out of 573 English and Welsh seats in the December election.
The party is not standing in 50 seats to make way for Liberal Democrat and Plaid Cymru MPs as part of the "Unite to Remain" pact.In the last parliament, Brighton MP Caroline Lucas was party's only MP to be elected.
However, in the European parliament they have seven MEPs.
Greens co-leader Sian Berry said the party would push for its policy programme to be implemented with 10 new pieces of legislation.
"Ten bills ready for the next Parliament to hit the ground running - because the future won't give us another chance to get these next two years right," she said.
"The more Green MPs we have, the more chance we have to save the future."
What is in the manifesto?
- £6 billion funding increase for the NHS until 2030
- 100,000 new zero carbon homes for social rent annually
- A second Brexit referendum
- The introduction of a universal basic income of at least £89 per week for every adult by 2025
- Proportional representation voting
- Votes for 16 and 17 year olds
- Ban the construction of nuclear power stations and fracking for gas and oil
- Carbon tax on energy and fossil fuel imports with the aim of making coal, oil and gas "financially unviable" within 10 years

Other notes
The BeanPersistListener listens for committed bean events.
These listen events occur after a successful commit. They also occur in a background thread rather than the thread used to perform the actual insert update or delete. In this way there is a delay between the commit and when the listener is notified of the event.
For a cluster these events may need to be broadcast. Each of the inserted(), updated() and deleted() methods return true if you want those events to be broadcast to the other members of a cluster (the id values are broadcast). If these methods return false then the events are not broadcast.
Ebean.externalModification(String tableName, boolean inserted, boolean updated, boolean deleted) processes committed changes from another framework or clustered server
Calling Ebean.externalModification notifies Ebean that beans have been committed externally, either by another framework or clustered server. Ebean uses this information to maintain its cache and lucene indexes appropriately.

Create Portable Globes and Maps¶
When you are out in the field and you need a globe or map that can
easily be stored and accessed from a desktop or laptop, you can
create a portable globe or map by creating a cut of one of your
databases. A portable globe or map is a single file (.glb
or
.glc
) that stores all the geospatial data available within
your specified area of interest—including all high-resolution
imagery, terrain, vector data, KML files, and searchable point of
interest (POI) locations. Outside the specified area of interest,
the globe or map stores only low-resolution imagery and terrain.
You specify the levels of resolution when you cut the globe or
map.
You can create portable globes and maps with the cutter tool feature of the Google Earth Enterprise (GEE) Server, from existing GEE portable files, or you can obtain them from third-party vendors. Depending on your area of coverage, it can take only a few minutes to specify and generate a globe or map and then save it to the GEE Portable maps directory.
Cut globes and maps from existing portable files
With GEE 5.x, you can also cut globes and maps from existing
portable files, which is convenient when you want to view a limited region
of a previously cut globe or map, especially when your portable
files are very large. This feature is often useful when you want
to combine portable files with other .glb
or .glc
files to
create a layered composite globe using the Assembly tool.
To cut a globe or map from an existing portable file, first you must register and publish it on GEE Server.
Tip
Cutting globes and maps from existing portable files is a new feature in GEE 5.x and is available with portable files that have been built using GEE 5.x only.
If you attempt to cut a portable file that was created using GEE 4.x, the cutting process will fail. However, you can serve portable files created using previous versions.
To determine which version of GEE was used to create a portable
file, the timestamp information for the file is available for
served globes or maps via
http://localhost:9335/earth/info.txt
on a local Portable
Server, or http://<server>/<mount_point>/earth/info.txt
on
Earth Server. In addition you can get the timestamp information
using geglxinfo
, the GEE tool for inspecting portable
files.
Inspect portable files for timestamp information
To help you identify which version of GEE was used to create a
portable file, you can use the portable inspection tool,
geglxinfo
, to get the timestamp for when the portable file was
created. This information should give you a good idea of which
version of GEE was used to create the file. Extract and output the
earth/info.txt
file, as in the following example use of the
command:
$ geglxinfo --glx tutorial_3d.glc --extract_file earth/info.txt --output /tmp/info.txt
$ cat /tmp/info.txt

Composite globes and maps
Portable globes and maps can also be assembled into layers to
create a composite globe or map, a single file (.glc
) that
contains all the geospatial data for assembled layers. To assemble
a composite file, you supply a KML polygon to cut your area of
interest, then specify the layers and the order in which they display.
See Create composite globes and maps.
Create a portable globe or map
Cutting a globe or map is accomplished with a simple web interface. You import a KML, or use your mouse, to define a polygon, which defines your “area of interest.” This polygon not only defines the area that displays high-resolution imagery, but is also used by Fusion to create a localized search database.
Note
The cutting processes are CPU- and disk-intensive, as they are retrieving all data within the specified polygon from the Earth Enterprise Server. This can affect the overall performance of the Server, including slowing end-user access.
To mitigate performance impact to end users, you may consider:
- Limiting the number of users with access to cutting.
- Creating pre-cut portable globes to host as downloadable files for portable users.
- Operating a separate GEE Server specifically to support on-demand cutting needs.
Please contact the Google Earth Enterprise Support team for further information or questions about these procedures.
Before you begin
Enable the cutter
Before cutting a globe, you must enable the cutter from the command line:
- In GEE 5.x:
gecutter enable
- In earlier versions:
geserveradmin --enable_cutter
For more information about geserveradmin
, see the Command reference.
Note about authentication and SSL: Cutting is not currently supported on globes or maps that require end-user authentication, such as LDAP. One workaround is to allow unauthenticated access from localhost on your Earth Enterprise Server. Refer to Apache documentation to enable such a configuration. Cutting of a globe over HTTPS is supported; however, the SSL certificate of the target server will not be verified during cutting.
The globe cutter interface
To create a portable globe:
Access the Google Earth Enterprise Server Admin console in a browser window by going to myserver.mydomainname.com/admin, replacing myserver and mydomainname with your server and domain.
Sign in with the default credentials or the username and password assigned to you:
- Default username: geapacheuser
- Default password: geeadmin
Note
If you do not know your username and password, contact your Google Earth Enterprise Server System Administrator.
Click Databases to display the list of databases and portables pushed to the Server.
Click the Settings button in the top right of the window and select Launch Cutter from the Tools menu.
A new browser tab opens with the GEE Server — Cutting Tool and the Create new offline map window appears.
Map or globe name
Use the drop-down menu to select the database or portable you wish to cut to create your offline map or globe.
Enter a name for the offline map or globe.
The name defines the file name for your offline map or globe. Offline maps are created as
.glm
files; offline globes are created as.glb
files. Both file types are a single-file format for sharing Google Earth Enterprise maps and globes. Spaces, slashes, and double dots (..) will be converted to underscores in the saved globe name.Warning
Building an offline map or globe will overwrite any existing offline maps or globes with the same name. If multiple users are cutting maps or globes, we recommend assigning unique prefixes to each user for their globe names to ensure that files are not accidentally overwritten.
Enter a description to be associated with the offline map or globe.
We recommend adding sufficient descriptive information for each offline map or globe, so that others will know what geographic area, or what mission, they were created for.
If you are overwriting an existing cut, select Yes for Overwrite?.
Drawing the polygon
Once the globe or map name has been specified, you can define the geographic region to be cut by drawing a polygon on the globe. There are two ways to draw the polygon.
Hand drawing the polygon
Warning
When cutting a 3D globe this method is only available if you are running the discontinued Google Earth Plug-in in your browser. This method works for cutting 2D maps from your browser.
By default, you draw a polygon by hand so the Select Region drop-down list is set to Manual.
Use the Hand tool to pan, then, using the navigation controls in the plug-in, zoom in to the region of interest.
To use your mouse to define the polygon, click the polygon icon in the globe window.
Click on the map or globe to define each point. You can use the navigation controls on the right to move the globe or change zoom levels while drawing.
Click the final point at the point of origin to complete the polygon selection.
If you need to redraw the polygon, click Clear to delete the polygon you just created.
Defining the polygon with KML
You can also use KML to define the polygon(s). The KML should be complete, and may contain single or multiple elements.
To insert your KML:
From the Select Region drop-down list, select Paste KML. The Paste KML window appears.
Paste your KML into the text field, then click Use KML.
GEE Server validates the KML and then draws the polygon using the KML data you provided. Your polygon appears on the map or globe (the latter only if you have the discontinued Google Earth plug-in running in your browser).
Globe resolution
The polygon you specified in the previous step defines your area of interest. This area contains high-resolution imagery and data, and search tabs are created for vector data within this zone. The maximum and minimum resolutions are specified as integers between 1 and 24. These correspond to the zoom levels that are used in the Fusion server. Setting a resolution of 24 results in a cut of the entire globe.
World level resolution
The area outside of the defined polygon is included in the globe at a lower resolution, which you set using World level. Areas near the polygon may be included at a higher resolution.
- To set the world level resolution, select a value from the World level drop-down list.
A minimum zoom level of 5-7 presents a decent-looking world to the
user and is most likely to include vector layers such as
international boundaries and state boundaries and main cities
without affecting the size of the .glb
file very much. For
example:
- A cut globe with minimum and maximum resolution values set to 5 is 10 MB.
- A cut globe with minimum and maximum resolution values set to 6 is 41 MB.
- A cut globe with minimum and maximum resolution values set to 7 is 120 MB.
These numbers are small in comparison to the overall size of your globe when a suitable maximum resolution has been selected. For example, a globe that contains all of the city of Atlanta, GA, USA in 1-foot resolution requires approximately 5 GB of storage. Even level 7 imagery, at 120 MB, is a small percentage of the overall globe size. You can also leave this field blank to use the highest available imagery.
Region level resolution
The zoom level for the polygon area is set using Region level.
The maximum resolution of the cut polygon area is no higher than the maximum resolution of the source map or globe. For example, if the maximum resolution in the cutter is specified at 24, but the source imagery is at 18 (approximately 1-meter resolution), the cut map or globe will contain level 18 imagery. You can leave this field blank to use the highest available imagery.
You may enter a lower number to reduce the size of your map or globe by not including the highest resolution imagery.
Advanced Settings
Polygon Resolution
The Advanced option provides an additional globe-cutting option, namely Polygon Resolution. This setting is useful when cutting with large polygons. For example, you may use 12 for a country-sized polygon or 18 for a city-sized polygon.
To set the polygon resolution:
- Click Advanced to display the Polygon Resolution option.
- Click the drop-down list to set the resolution value you want.
Continue Past Empty Levels
This option only applies to portable maps (2D databases). If a portable map does not contain imagery in the polygon at the resolution that you think it should, try recreating the portable map with this option set to Yes. This option will likely increase the build time, possibly significantly.
Note
Additional advanced settings may be offered in future versions. Use caution when changing them as they may dramatically increase build times and globe sizes.
Building the map or globe
Depending on the size of your polygon, building a cut map or globe can take a few minutes to a few hours; likewise, file size varies widely depending on the area selected and the desired resolution.
To build the map or globe:
Click Cut map to start the build process.
The progress of the build appears in the Build window.
When the build is finished, a
.glb
file is created in the default globes directory,/opt/google/gehttpd/htdocs/cutter/globes
, and a download link appears to the file’s location on GEE Server.
KML files
When a portable globe is cut from a source containing KML links in the Layer panel:
- KML files that are stored locally on the primary Earth Server will be bundled into the portable globe. Only the main KML file will be copied, not any links or files that are embedded as links in the main KML file. The default copy is not recursive.
- KML links that refer to servers other than the primary Earth Server are not copied. The layer will be visible in the client, but clicking the link will not cause any data to be displayed. If access to external servers is needed, a small KML file should be stored locally on the primary Earth Server. This KML file should contain a link to the intended external server.
Historical Imagery
Historical Imagery is not supported in the portable globe as of Fusion 4.2.
There are, however, two situations in which historic imagery will be displayed:
- When the computer running the portable globe has a connection to the Earth server from which the globe was cut. In this case, historic imagery can be streamed from the Earth server. Once in the field, however, and disconnected from the Earth server, no historic imagery will be displayed.
- If historic imagery has been cached on the portable globe machine.
Otherwise, the following error message will appear:
Google Earth can’t contact the imagery server to download new images. You will be able to see areas that you have been to recently, but new image areas may appear blurry.

Xorg
Section: User Commands (1)Updated: xorg-server 1.10.6
Index Return to Main Contents
NAME
Xorg - X11R7 X serverSYNOPSIS
Xorg [:display] [option ...]DESCRIPTION
Xorg is a full featured X server that was originally designed for UNIX and UNIX-like operating systems running on Intel x86 hardware. It now runs on a wider range of hardware and OS platforms.This work was derived by the X.Org Foundation from the XFree86 Project's XFree86 4.4rc2 release. The XFree86 release was originally derived from X386 1.2 by Thomas Roell which was contributed to X11R5 by Snitily Graphics Consulting Service.
PLATFORMS
Xorg operates under a wide range of operating systems and hardware platforms. The Intel x86 (IA32) architecture is the most widely supported hardware platform. Other hardware platforms include Compaq Alpha, Intel IA64, AMD64, SPARC and PowerPC. The most widely supported operating systems are the free/OpenSource UNIX-like systems such as Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, and Solaris. Commercial UNIX operating systems such as UnixWare are also supported. Other supported operating systems include GNU Hurd. Mac OS X is supported with the Xquartz(1) X server. Win32/Cygwin is supported with the XWin(1) X server.
NETWORK CONNECTIONS
Xorg supports connections made using the following reliable byte-streams:- Local
- On most platforms, the "Local" connection type is a UNIX-domain socket. On some System V platforms, the "local" connection types also include STREAMS pipes, named pipes, and some other mechanisms.
- TCP/IP
- Xorg listens on port 6000+n, where n is the display number. This connection type can be disabled with the -nolisten option (see the Xserver(1) man page for details).
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
For operating systems that support local connections other than Unix Domain sockets (SVR3 and SVR4), there is a compiled-in list specifying the order in which local connections should be attempted. This list can be overridden by the XLOCAL environment variable described below. If the display name indicates a best-choice connection should be made (e.g. :0.0), each connection mechanism is tried until a connection succeeds or no more mechanisms are available. Note: for these OSs, the Unix Domain socket connection is treated differently from the other local connection types. To use it the connection must be made to unix:0.0.The XLOCAL environment variable should contain a list of one more more of the following:
-
NAMED PTS SCO ISC
which represent SVR4 Named Streams pipe, Old-style USL Streams pipe, SCO XSight Streams pipe, and ISC Streams pipe, respectively. You can select a single mechanism (e.g. XLOCAL=NAMED), or an ordered list (e.g. XLOCAL="NAMED:PTS:SCO"). his variable overrides the compiled-in defaults. For SVR4 it is recommended that NAMED be the first preference connection. The default setting is PTS:NAMED:ISC:SCO.
To globally override the compiled-in defaults, you should define (and export if using sh or ksh) XLOCAL globally. If you use startx(1) or xinit(1), the definition should be at the top of your .xinitrc file. If you use xdm(1), the definitions should be early on in the /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession script.
OPTIONS
Xorg supports several mechanisms for supplying/obtaining configuration and run-time parameters: command line options, environment variables, the xorg.conf(5) configuration files, auto-detection, and fallback defaults. When the same information is supplied in more than one way, the highest precedence mechanism is used. The list of mechanisms is ordered from highest precedence to lowest. Note that not all parameters can be supplied via all methods. The available command line options and environment variables (and some defaults) are described here and in the Xserver(1) manual page. Most configuration file parameters, with their defaults, are described in the xorg.conf(5) manual page. Driver and module specific configuration parameters are described in the relevant driver or module manual page.In addition to the normal server options described in the Xserver(1) manual page, Xorg accepts the following command line switches:
- vtXX
- XX specifies the Virtual Terminal device number which Xorg will use. Without this option, Xorg will pick the first available Virtual Terminal that it can locate. This option applies only to platforms that have virtual terminal support, such as Linux, BSD, OpenSolaris, SVR3, and SVR4.
- -allowMouseOpenFail
- Allow the server to start up even if the mouse device can't be opened or initialised. This is equivalent to the AllowMouseOpenFail xorg.conf(5) file option.
- -allowNonLocalXvidtune
- Make the VidMode extension available to remote clients. This allows the xvidtune client to connect from another host. This is equivalent to the AllowNonLocalXvidtune xorg.conf(5) file option. By default non-local connections are not allowed.
- -bgamma value
- Set the blue gamma correction. value must be between 0.1 and 10. The default is 1.0. Not all drivers support this. See also the -gamma, -rgamma, and -ggamma options.
- -bpp n
- No longer supported. Use -depth to set the color depth, and use -fbbpp if you really need to force a non-default framebuffer (hardware) pixel format.
- -config file
- Read the server configuration from file. This option will work for any file when the server is run as root (i.e, with real-uid 0), or for files relative to a directory in the config search path for all other users.
- -configdir directory
- Read the server configuration files from directory. This option will work for any directory when the server is run as root (i.e, with real-uid 0), or for directories relative to a directory in the config directory search path for all other users.
- -configure
- When this option is specified, the Xorg server loads all video driver modules, probes for available hardware, and writes out an initial xorg.conf(5) file based on what was detected. This option currently has some problems on some platforms, but in most cases it is a good way to bootstrap the configuration process. This option is only available when the server is run as root (i.e, with real-uid 0).
- -crt /dev/ttyXX
- SCO only. This is the same as the vt option, and is provided for compatibility with the native SCO X server.
- -depth n
- Sets the default color depth. Legal values are 1, 4, 8, 15, 16, and 24. Not all drivers support all values.
- -disableVidMode
- Disable the parts of the VidMode extension (used by the xvidtune client) that can be used to change the video modes. This is equivalent to the DisableVidModeExtension xorg.conf(5) file option.
- -fbbpp n
- Sets the number of framebuffer bits per pixel. You should only set this if you're sure it's necessary; normally the server can deduce the correct value from -depth above. Useful if you want to run a depth 24 configuration with a 24 bpp framebuffer rather than the (possibly default) 32 bpp framebuffer (or vice versa). Legal values are 1, 8, 16, 24, 32. Not all drivers support all values.
- -flipPixels
- Swap the default values for the black and white pixels.
- -gamma value
- Set the gamma correction. value must be between 0.1 and 10. The default is 1.0. This value is applied equally to the R, G and B values. Those values can be set independently with the -rgamma, -bgamma, and -ggamma options. Not all drivers support this.
- -ggamma value
- Set the green gamma correction. value must be between 0.1 and 10. The default is 1.0. Not all drivers support this. See also the -gamma, -rgamma, and -bgamma options.
- -ignoreABI
- The Xorg server checks the ABI revision levels of each module that it loads. It will normally refuse to load modules with ABI revisions that are newer than the server's. This is because such modules might use interfaces that the server does not have. When this option is specified, mismatches like this are downgraded from fatal errors to warnings. This option should be used with care.
- -isolateDevice bus-id
- Restrict device resets to the device at bus-id. The bus-id string has the form bustype:bus:device:function (e.g., oqPCI:1:0:0cq). At present, only isolation of PCI devices is supported; i.e., this option is ignored if bustype is anything other than oqPCIcq.
- -keeptty
- Prevent the server from detaching its initial controlling terminal. This option is only useful when debugging the server. Not all platforms support (or can use) this option.
- -keyboard keyboard-name
- Use the xorg.conf(5) file InputDevice section called keyboard-name as the core keyboard. This option is ignored when the Layout section specifies a core keyboard. In the absence of both a Layout section and this option, the first relevant InputDevice section is used for the core keyboard.
- -layout layout-name
- Use the xorg.conf(5) file Layout section called layout-name. By default the first Layout section is used.
- -logfile filename
- Use the file called filename as the Xorg server log file. The default log file is /var/log/Xorg.n.log on most platforms, where n is the display number of the Xorg server. The default may be in a different directory on some platforms. This option is only available when the server is run as root (i.e, with real-uid 0).
- -logverbose [n]
- Sets the verbosity level for information printed to the Xorg server log file. If the n value isn't supplied, each occurrence of this option increments the log file verbosity level. When the n value is supplied, the log file verbosity level is set to that value. The default log file verbosity level is 3.
- -modulepath searchpath
- Set the module search path to searchpath. searchpath is a comma separated list of directories to search for Xorg server modules. This option is only available when the server is run as root (i.e, with real-uid 0).
- -nosilk
- Disable Silken Mouse support.
- -pixmap24
- Set the internal pixmap format for depth 24 pixmaps to 24 bits per pixel. The default is usually 32 bits per pixel. There is normally little reason to use this option. Some client applications don't like this pixmap format, even though it is a perfectly legal format. This is equivalent to the Pixmap xorg.conf(5) file option.
- -pixmap32
- Set the internal pixmap format for depth 24 pixmaps to 32 bits per pixel. This is usually the default. This is equivalent to the Pixmap xorg.conf(5) file option.
- -pointer pointer-name
- Use the xorg.conf(5) file InputDevice section called pointer-name as the core pointer. This option is ignored when the Layout section specifies a core pointer. In the absence of both a Layout section and this option, the first relevant InputDevice section is used for the core pointer.
- -quiet
- Suppress most informational messages at startup. The verbosity level is set to zero.
- -rgamma value
- Set the red gamma correction. value must be between 0.1 and 10. The default is 1.0. Not all drivers support this. See also the -gamma, -bgamma, and -ggamma options.
- -screen screen-name
- Use the xorg.conf(5) file Screen section called screen-name. By default the screens referenced by the default Layout section are used, or the first Screen section when there are no Layout sections.
- -showconfig
- This is the same as the -version option, and is included for compatibility reasons. It may be removed in a future release, so the -version option should be used instead.
- -showDefaultModulePath
- Print out the default module path the server was compiled with.
- -showDefaultLibPath
- Print out the path libraries should be installed to.
- -showopts
- For each driver module installed, print out the list of options and their argument types.
- -weight nnn
- Set RGB weighting at 16 bpp. The default is 565. This applies only to those drivers which support 16 bpp.
- -verbose [n]
- Sets the verbosity level for information printed on stderr. If the n value isn't supplied, each occurrence of this option increments the verbosity level. When the n value is supplied, the verbosity level is set to that value. The default verbosity level is 0.
- -version
- Print out the server version, patchlevel, release date, the operating system/platform it was built on, and whether it includes module loader support.
KEYBOARD
The Xorg server is normally configured to recognize various special combinations of key presses that instruct the server to perform some action, rather than just sending the key press event to a client application. These actions depend on the XKB keymap loaded by a particular keyboard device and may or may not be available on a given configuration.
The following key combinations are commonly part of the default XKEYBOARD keymap.
- Ctrl+Alt+Backspace
- Immediately kills the server -- no questions asked. It can be disabled by setting the DontZap xorg.conf(5) file option to a TRUE value.
- It should be noted that zapping is triggered by the Terminate_Server action in the keyboard map. This action is not part of the default keymaps but can be enabled with the XKB option N'34'terminate:ctrl_alt_bkspN'34'.
- Ctrl+Alt+Keypad-Plus
- Change video mode to next one specified in the configuration file. This can be disabled with the DontZoom xorg.conf(5) file option.
- Ctrl+Alt+Keypad-Minus
- Change video mode to previous one specified in the configuration file. This can be disabled with the DontZoom xorg.conf(5) file option.
- Ctrl+Alt+F1...F12
- For systems with virtual terminal support, these keystroke combinations are used to switch to virtual terminals 1 through 12, respectively. This can be disabled with the DontVTSwitch xorg.conf(5) file option.
CONFIGURATION
Xorg typically uses a configuration file called xorg.conf and configuration files with the suffix .conf in a directory called xorg.conf.d for its initial setup. Refer to the xorg.conf(5) manual page for information about the format of this file.Xorg has a mechanism for automatically generating a built-in configuration at run-time when no xorg.conf file or xorg.conf.d files are present. The current version of this automatic configuration mechanism works in two ways.
The first is via enhancements that have made many components of the xorg.conf file optional. This means that information that can be probed or reasonably deduced doesn't need to be specified explicitly, greatly reducing the amount of built-in configuration information that needs to be generated at run-time.
The second is to have "safe" fallbacks for most configuration information. This maximises the likelihood that the Xorg server will start up in some usable configuration even when information about the specific hardware is not available.
The automatic configuration support for Xorg is work in progress. It is currently aimed at the most popular hardware and software platforms supported by Xorg. Enhancements are planned for future releases.

Minister does not commit to proposed 'angel's cradle' in Saskatoon
by Zak Vescera"There are other mechanisms if someone wants to drop their baby off and they make that choice," Merriman said.
Social Services Minister Paul Merriman said he will meet with a Saskatoon organization planning to launch a drop-off site for abandoned babies after the discovery of a deceased infant in a downtown recycling bin last week, but declined to say if he supports the project.
Sanctum Care Group executive director Katelyn Roberts told Postmedia on Tuesday that her organization would move ahead with installing an “angel’s cradle” where a baby can be safely and anonymously abandoned.
The project was put on hold last October when the ministry announced more review was needed.
“We do feel that the tragedy that did unfold demonstrates a real need to push this along in a more efficient way,” Roberts said.
Merriman sidestepped questions from reporters on Wednesday about whether a cradle is needed, saying he prefers parents follow normal adoption procedures or access existing services.
“There are other mechanisms if someone wants to drop their baby off and they make that choice,” Merriman said.
Merriman stressed several times that a cradle may not necessarily have saved the baby’s life.
Roberts said the same on Tuesday, but argued the option is worthwhile even if it only saves one life.
Merriman said the ministry met with 85 community organizations in Saskatoon this year and not all agreed a cradle was needed. He said the Saskatoon Tribal Council pointed out that some children would not be able to connect with their home community, for example.
The ministry resolved to focus on “the prevention side of things,” and earmarked an additional $1.2 million for those efforts, Merriman said.
“At that time, a decision was made to make sure we were on the proactive side of things — to make sure we didn’t get to the point where an angel’s cradle would have to be used.”
Saskatchewan does not have “safe-haven” legislation exempting people from criminal charges for voluntarily abandoning a child. There is no immediate plan to pass one. Merriman declined to answer a question about whether Sanctum’s funding would be affected if it proceeded with installing the cradle without the ministry’s blessing, calling it a “‘what if’ scenario.”
Roberts said the organization hopes to work with the ministry on the initiative.
EGADZ executive director Don Meikle, whose organization works with young mothers in Saskatoon, said it’s time to “expedite” a conversation on safe-haven laws and an angel’s cradle.
“This isn’t something for two or three years down the road. This is something for now,” Meikle said.
If a cradle is installed, it should be at a well-known location such as a hospital, like existing cradles in Vancouver and Edmonton, he suggested, adding that any plan should also consider the health and care of the mother or parent.
“I think we owe it to the baby and the mum to find out what the heck happened,” Meikle said.
An autopsy was performed on the infant’s body on Tuesday. Merriman said the coroner’s report will be available in about four months.
