Support for the Ruby 2.1 series ended on March 31 2017. See here for details.
An OpenStruct is a data structure, similar to a Hash, that allows the definition of arbitrary attributes with their accompanying values. This is accomplished by using Ruby's metaprogramming to define methods on the class itself.
require 'ostruct' person = OpenStruct.new person.name = "John Smith" person.age = 70 person.pension = 300 puts person.name # -> "John Smith" puts person.age # -> 70 puts person.address # -> nil
An OpenStruct employs a Hash internally to store the methods and values and can even be initialized with one:
australia = OpenStruct.new(:country => "Australia", :population => 20_000_000) p australia # -> <OpenStruct country="Australia" population=20000000>
Hash keys with spaces or characters that would normally not be able to use for method calls (e.g. ()[]*) will not be immediately available on the OpenStruct object as a method for retrieval or assignment, but can be still be reached through the Object#send method.
measurements = OpenStruct.new("length (in inches)" => 24) measurements.send("length (in inches)") # -> 24 data_point = OpenStruct.new(:queued? => true) data_point.queued? # -> true data_point.send("queued?=",false) data_point.queued? # -> false
Removing the presence of a method requires the execution the #delete_field method as
setting the property value to
nil will not remove the method.
first_pet = OpenStruct.new(:name => 'Rowdy', :owner => 'John Smith') first_pet.owner = nil second_pet = OpenStruct.new(:name => 'Rowdy') first_pet == second_pet # -> false first_pet.delete_field(:owner) first_pet == second_pet # -> true
An OpenStruct utilizes Ruby's method lookup structure to find and define the necessary methods for properties. This is accomplished through the method method_missing and define_method.
This should be a consideration if there is a concern about the performance of the objects that are created, as there is much more overhead in the setting of these properties compared to using a Hash or a Struct.
Creates a new OpenStruct object. By default, the resulting OpenStruct object will have no attributes.
The optional
hash, if given, will generate attributes and
values (can be a Hash, an OpenStruct or a
Struct). For example:
require 'ostruct' hash = { "country" => "Australia", :population => 20_000_000 } data = OpenStruct.new(hash) p data # -> <OpenStruct country="Australia" population=20000000>
# File ostruct.rb, line 87 def initialize(hash=nil) @table = {} if hash hash.each_pair do |k, v| k = k.to_sym @table[k] = v new_ostruct_member(k) end end end
Compares this object and
other for equality. An OpenStruct is equal to
other when
other is an OpenStruct and the
two objects' Hash tables are equal.
# File ostruct.rb, line 265 def ==(other) return false unless other.kind_of?(OpenStruct) @table == other.table end
Returns the value of a member.
person = OpenStruct.new('name' => 'John Smith', 'age' => 70) person[:age] # => 70, same as ostruct.age
# File ostruct.rb, line 198 def [](name) @table[name.to_sym] end
Sets the value of a member.
person = OpenStruct.new('name' => 'John Smith', 'age' => 70) person[:age] = 42 # => equivalent to ostruct.age = 42 person.age # => 42
# File ostruct.rb, line 209 def []=(name, value) modifiable[new_ostruct_member(name)] = value end
Remove the named field from the object. Returns the value that the field contained if it was defined.
require 'ostruct' person = OpenStruct.new('name' => 'John Smith', 'age' => 70) person.delete_field('name') # => 'John Smith'
# File ostruct.rb, line 223 def delete_field(name) sym = name.to_sym singleton_class.__send__(:remove_method, sym, "#{sym}=") @table.delete sym end
Yields all attributes (as a symbol) along with the corresponding values or returns an enumerator if not block is given. Example:
require 'ostruct' data = OpenStruct.new("country" => "Australia", :population => 20_000_000) data.each_pair.to_a # => [[:country, "Australia"], [:population, 20000000]]
# File ostruct.rb, line 127 def each_pair return to_enum(__method__) { @table.size } unless block_given? @table.each_pair{|p| yield p} end
Compares this object and
other for equality. An OpenStruct is eql? to
other when
other is an OpenStruct and the
two objects' Hash tables are eql?.
# File ostruct.rb, line 275 def eql?(other) return false unless other.kind_of?(OpenStruct) @table.eql?(other.table) end
Compute a hash-code for this OpenStruct. Two hashes with the same content will have the same hash code (and will be eql?).
# File ostruct.rb, line 283 def hash @table.hash end
Duplicate an OpenStruct object members.
# File ostruct.rb, line 99 def initialize_copy(orig) super @table = @table.dup @table.each_key{|key| new_ostruct_member(key)} end
Returns a string containing a detailed summary of the keys and values.
# File ostruct.rb, line 234 def inspect str = "#<#{self.class}" ids = (Thread.current[InspectKey] ||= []) if ids.include?(object_id) return str << ' ...>' end ids << object_id begin first = true for k,v in @table str << "," unless first first = false str << " #{k}=#{v.inspect}" end return str << '>' ensure ids.pop end end
Provides marshalling support for use by the Marshal library.
# File ostruct.rb, line 135 def marshal_dump @table end
Provides marshalling support for use by the Marshal library.
# File ostruct.rb, line 142 def marshal_load(x) @table = x @table.each_key{|key| new_ostruct_member(key)} end
Converts the OpenStruct to a hash with keys representing each attribute (as symbols) and their corresponding values Example:
require 'ostruct' data = OpenStruct.new("country" => "Australia", :population => 20_000_000) data.to_h # => {:country => "Australia", :population => 20000000 }
# File ostruct.rb, line 114 def to_h @table.dup end
Used internally to check if the OpenStruct is able to be modified before granting access to the internal Hash table to be modified.
# File ostruct.rb, line 151 def modifiable begin @modifiable = true rescue raise RuntimeError, "can't modify frozen #{self.class}", caller(3) end @table end
Used internally to defined properties on the OpenStruct. It does this by using the metaprogramming function define_singleton_method for both the getter method and the setter method.
# File ostruct.rb, line 166 def new_ostruct_member(name) name = name.to_sym unless respond_to?(name) define_singleton_method(name) { @table[name] } define_singleton_method("#{name}=") { |x| modifiable[name] = x } end name end

There has been a lot of people who have asked how to stream an IP Camera to a Webpage. Well here we go!
Lets start by gathering the software and Hardware that we will need.
Lets start by setting up our camera. For this article I will be using the
We will be setting the camera up to monitor the front door. Keep in mind that we are just getting the camera's feed directly from the IP camera and not from an NVR. This means that you will not be able to go back and review recorded footage, just the live feed from the Webpage.
My Camera is set to 192.168.1.164. I will go ahead and install Unreal Media Server.
RTSP URl is : rtsp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0&unicast=true&proto=Onvif
Replace the X's with your Network Camera IP address
In this video you will see how to add your IP camera so that we can go from RTSP to RTMP using the Unreal Media Server and also stream it out.
What we need to do next is open some ports on your computer, in my case Windows 8.1
You will need to Allow Outbound Data from ports 5119 [Players] and 5113 [Live Servers] on the Firewall Rules. For this you need to Open your Control Panel and navigate to Windows Firewall then click on Advanced Settings. This will open a new Window where you can add your Firewall Rules. Once you are in this new window you can add the rule by going on the left pane and clicking on "New Rule". Then Tick the Radio Button, the one beside the "PORT" and click Next and then go and tick on the Specific remote Ports. Once you have done this, the area where you can specify the port number will allow you to add the port number that you need for Unreal Media Server. I am using the default which are the 5119 and 5113. At this point you are done with setting your Firewall Rules to allow outgoing Data from this application.
Great! We have finished these steps. Now since we are going to Host our own webpage we are going to be using Wamp Server. Wamp will allow you to Develop as well as Host your Domain name. Keep in mind that it is best to get a Domain name with a company that will allow for Dynamic IP Updates such as DYN.com. If not you will have to have your ISP give you a static IP. This is done so that the ISP will not change your IP address so when navigating to your domain/webpage your visitors do not end up in limbo as the address has changed. For example it is like setting your GPS to go to 123 Johnson street and all of a sudden your house is not there and now it is in 129 Johnson street .
Lets get started!
Download and Install Wamp onto your computer.
Open the Setup File and click next and accept the agreement. Then select where the WAMP folder will be residing. The default is fine. Tick the boxes to get your Shortcuts, click next and then install. In some cases it will ask you for the default web browser which is fine, then select your PHP mail Parameters. Default is fine, Localhost and your email address. Once you do this the application should start and if it does not, launch it using the Short Cut in your Desktop.
Once you have installed WAMP onto your computer you want to configure some settings before you can host your Web Page.
For this we will be navigating to the WAMP icon on the Tool Tray. Right-click on the icon and click on "Apache" then select "httpd.conf open", this will open up a file.
It is easier if you choose to open it with Notepad ++. This will show the file in its structure versus notepad, as notepad might clump everything together and you end up either corrupting the file or making the wrong changes.
You want to click on your keyboard CTRL and F at the same time to open the Finder. Make sure that the file is selected and your cursor is on another application. Once you have opened up the Finder tool you want to input the following "servername". Once you have located this on the document you want to change port 80 to 8080.
After doing this open again the Finder tool and search for "Listen". Once you have located this, you want to find and change the line "Listen 80" to "Listen 8080" and also make sure that the "#" is removed. This means it is enabled.
Save the file and restart all services by clicking on the Wamp Icon on the Tool Tray. Once it has restarted, open your Web Browser and Navigate to http://localhost:8080/phpmyadmin.
If it gives you the Following Error "Forbidden", you want to go and modify a file called phpmyadmin.conf in "C:\wamp\alias". Open it up with the notepad ++ application and make these changes.
Order Allow, Deny
Allow from all
Allow from localhost ::1 127.0.0.1
Save the document and restart all services . You should be able to access PHP my Admin page on your Browser.
Now that we have everything set, navigate to http://localhost:8080/wp-admin. This will take you to the back end of Wordpess where you can edit your webpage. You can install your WordPress Theme. Once you have done this you can add a new page and this will be where you will have the camera feeds going to.
We are going to use some Javascript for this , let s get started
You can copy paste this into your Page.
After verifying my code, it seems that some of the elements from this Javascript, WordPress does not want to play the video feed. The way I found to bypass this issue is to grab this code and bring it up in Notepad ++ create an html file called "cam.html and upload it to the root of my webpage, once it was in there its a simple Iframe html code.
Once we have done all of this we need to go back to the java script code and make sure that the IP addresses are correct. You can also use a DDNS service if you don't have a static IP on the script for example. mydomai.dyn.com . DYN.com is a DDNS service provider. Keep in mind that they currently charge 8$ a year for this type of service. You can also get a Domain name with them for example mydomain.com and then point it to your router or PC. They have tools that will keep the Domain name with your current IP address. If you currently have a Securitycameraking.com DVR/NVR/Hybrid or Tribrid and have a DDNS with us you can use the same one, but it is recommended to use a domain name that will show a mydomain.com instead of mydomain.techproddns.com just for cosmetic purposes and customers will like this.
Here is a Generator for the code if you are an advanced user.
Once we have done all of this your webpage should have your Camera feeds and we are almost done. Here is a quick video of a mock up Day Care Webpage.
We will need to Password Protect this page so that unauthorized users cannot view the camera feeds.
The easiest way to enable password protection is by going into the page and selecting the Visibility tab on the top right corner, tick the radio button and input the password.
Keep in mind that this password will be used by everyone. There are other plugins that you can utilize but they are not going to be as effective as creating a file called HTaccess that will ask the user to input their username and password and you can simply edit this file with Notepad ++ and remove anyone at anytime giving them access or removing access to that user.
Lets get started with creating the .Htaccess file and .Htpasswd file.
Generator for the .htaccess
Generator for the .htpasswd
Above you will see the Generator that you can use to make your life easier.
In general what you need to create the files is open your Notepad ++ create a new file and name it .htaccess save it as Type "All Types" and this will ensure that the file is saved correctly.
Go and open the .htaccess generator and input the Name that you want to display on the pop up. I generally put something like Protected Area or Admin Only, essentially this is up to you. Once you have done that you want to input "\wamp\www\cam\.htpasswd". You want to have the .htaccess in a folder where the cam.html is located this way when you navigate to the page it will ask for authentication. In my example here I have it in a folder called "cam" in my Wamp WWW root. Copy the generated code into the .htaccess and save.
Lets go and generate our username and password. The generator will encrypt the password and add the username for example "jose:$apr1$Wuzi1i4C$XqqOLBCXu.vH3p1627X8r." this is really Username: jose and password: jose . Enter the username on the generator and password copy/paste the results after clicking generate and paste this on the .htpasswd file. You can add as many as you like making sure that you leave an extra line on both the .htaccess file and .htpasswd file.
Test this by navigating to the webpage, it should ask you for the password. Do not be alarmed after you have successfully gained access and when you come again to the page it does not asks you for it. Some browsers will save the username and password automatically.
Here is a video of the Final Product

By Nam Hari Kaur Khalsa, California, USA
When life is applied, life is supplied by God. --Yogi Bhajan
The month of April invites us to explore some of the more intense dimensions of our inner emotional landscape. The fire energy will be quite strong at this time and fire relates to the emotions of anger and rage, while at the same time offering the opportunity to cleanse out old resentments of the past. Finding the right words to speak may be difficult at times, yet it is essential to talk out your issues or the intensity will find other ways of expressing itself. It may take the form of an emotional volcano spewing out lava that moves in a mindlessly destructive mass of rage without reason.
You can avoid this drama in one of two different ways. Don't go outside the entire month, or, develop your intuition and sensory field to the point you can feel the wave before it hits. The animal kingdom is still in tune with the shifts of nature and changes in the weather, and they all maneuver accordingly. We as humans have lost some of our sensory awareness due to cell phones, Wi-Fi, bad eating habits, and emotional stress in the workplace and relationships. Have you ever seen two robins fighting over their calling plan and who used up all the minutes? No, of course not. They have a natural harmonious attunement which stems from living in balance with all that is around them. For those of us living in the big city, we must find a way to rebalance everyday for harmony and stability.
The mantra of the month is Humee Hum Brahm Hum, which should be chanted at least 11 minutes a day. It means: "We are we, we are God." This mantra strengthens the electromagnetic field of our psyche and helps to prevent other people's weirdness from getting in. While speaking with someone, you will be able to sense where the conversation is going, and know if you need to make an exit to avoid a concealed agenda. This type of verbal Tai Chi can save you from getting trapped in a commitment you never really intended to make. Other people's desperation can drain you, so take the high road by saying a prayer for them while keeping your own house clean.
There are five pivotal days this month: the 3rd, 12th, 13th, 21st, and 30th. Misunderstandings will abound on these days because of a unique configuration of double 13's in the sub-layers of the cycle. Thirteen is the number of deception and betrayal, and when it is in the negative polarity there will be an emotional tendency for people to hear what they want to hear, rather than what is really being said. The shocked response, "But you said!" will be echoing off the bruised emotions of humanity, while the messenger stands in total disbelief. This can be avoided by going over the original communication twice in the present moment, or by getting things in writing. In the positive polarity, 13 is "The Power of the Word," which means that what you say will happen. This is a uniquely effective month for mantra and manifestation through prayer. Everything must be taken to the higher sphere or dimension; there is no middle ground at this time. If you have ever been forced to play the barbaric game of dodge-ball in grade school, you may well remember what it's like to get stuck between two inert classmates who don't have the agility to respond quickly enough to the changing game, and there you are trapped by their energy field. Now you get the picture!
An attitude of good sportsmanship will help to smooth out the ripples in another person's mind. Even posing the question, "What do you think is fair?" can save you from having to backtrack and do a lot of repair work. Exactly what is fair may be difficult to agree on at this time, therefore repeated discussion and dialogue is one way to avoid settling upon a decision that may have to be dismantled later because of hidden discontent. Creating a mutual sound current, that is, chanting any mantra together for II minutes will help to dissipate the static that may hinder reconciliation. When we are in the same key there is less conflict.As Yogi Bhajan said, "Once you think that everything is a gift of God, whether it's great or small, good or bad, then you take your judgment out, you take your troubles out. Without you, trouble doesn't exist. If you do not welcome the trouble and do not participate, confront, counter, and enlarge it, then it will go."

A new version is slowly being rolled out into the wild, and we've got a screengrab that a source close to Yahoo tells us is authentic.
Yahoo.com is Yahoo's most important product. ComScore says 170 million people visit Yahoo sites everyday, and a huge percentage of them are funneled to this page. Its ad units are perhaps the most valuable on the Internet.
Sources tell us more changes are on the way. The page is going to get more personalized and customizable, we hear.
Here are today's big changes to the page:
- The search bar is now centered, and is part of a darker toolbar that is fixed to the top of the page as the user scrolls down.
- The Yahoo! logo is smaller, and no longer purple.
- The word "search" has been replaced with a magnifying glass icon.
- There are far fewer links to Yahoo Sites on the left side. Losers are: Dating, Flickr, Games, Jobs, Messenger, Music, My Yahoo!, and TV.
- Local weather has its own module.
- What's trending has been deemphasized and moved to the left column.
- This is a now secound large story tout below the top stories.
- Instead of just headlines, the news river has story summaries.
- Astrology has its own module.
For a reminder, here is what Yahoo's homepage looks like now. Below, what it will start to look like soon.
And here is what it looks like if you scroll down. Note the search bar comes with you…

WOBURN -�A former Framingham man who shot and killed Joseph McDaniel on Kendall Street in 2003 could be released as early as today after a Middlesex Superior Court jury on Thursday convicted him�of manslaughter, rather than a verdict of first-degree murder, which prosecutors had sought.
After about eight and a half hours of deliberations, the jury of eight women and four men found Eric Murray, 37, guilty of voluntary manslaughter and�illegal possession of a firearm.
The verdict brought an almost immediate smile to Murray's face. He had originally been convicted of first-degree murder in 2005, but that verdict was overturned in 2010 by Judge Sandra Hamlin. She ruled that evidence that McDaniel was a member of the KST gang which came to light in a federal indictment in 2007 could have been used in�his defense at his 2005 trial.
Murray's lawyer, Timothy Bradl, spent more than two weeks questioning witnesses about the KST and trying to convince the jury that Murray shot and killed McDaniel out�of his fear of McDaniel and the KST, also known as the Kendall Street Thugs and the Kendall Street Team.
He said the jurors'�verdict showed that they agreed�Murray had a right to defend himself. Bradl, though, said he believes�Murray should have been found not guilty of any charges.
"The jury found that he had the right to self-defense, but that he used excessive force in self-defense," Bradl said after the verdict. "I'm not quite sure what level of force would be acceptable in these circumstances when he is confronted by the likes of the KST. They don't strike me as the kind of people that would be satisfied with a simple fistfight."
After the verdict, McDaniel's mother, Darlene McDaniel, was distraught.
"Not good," she said outside of the courtroom, while crying. "He should have gotten higher."
Bradl said Murray was ecstatic about the verdict.
"After having been convicted of first-degree murder, Mr. Murray is absolutely thrilled with the jury's verdict," he said. "He recognizes the gravity of the situation and didn't go looking for this."
Hamlin scheduled Murray's sentencing for today. The maximum sentence he faces for voluntary manslaughter is 20 years. He also faces up to five years in prison for the gun charge.
Murray has already served nearly 11 years in custody. He has been held since his arrest on Oct. 8, 2003,�the day after he met McDaniel on Kendall Street, shooting him three times. Prosecutor Nicole Allain told the jury that the shooting was a murder, planned by Murray. She said he went there to confront the 19-year-old McDaniel and shot him in cold blood.
There is no minimum sentence for manslaughter and Bradl said he plans on asking Hamlin to sentence Murray to the time he has already served. Bradl said he expects Allain to request the maximum sentence.

State Construction Project in Juneau Sparks Manufacturing Facility in Fairbanks
JUNEAU – A contract to provide exterior walls and windows for a new state building in Juneau has sparked a new manufacturing facility in Fairbanks.
Bucher Glass of Fairbanks has been awarded an $7.6 million contract to provide all exterior walls and windows for the State Libraries, Archives & Museum (SLAM) building project in Juneau.
The wall panels, measuring approximately 5-feet 6-inches by 24 feet, will be fabricated in a newly leased 32,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Fairbanks, starting immediately. The panels are scheduled to be sent to Juneau for installation late this year. Bucher's new manufacturing facility will employ 16 to 20 Alaskans.
"Bucher Glass has always been a family business with my mom and dad starting the company back in 1966," said Scott Bucher, owner of Bucher Glass. "As the company has grown, we have been able to complete projects in new territories such as Oregon, Washington, Hawaii, and even as far as Midway Island. In order to do so and to remain competitive, we've had to look at new vendors and suppliers as well as faster methods of enclosing a building envelope, especially when dealing with accelerated building schedules that we deal with constantly in Alaska.
"Over the past few years we have imported unitized curtain wall from China with great success. Projects were done in record time. But now the opportunity has come for us to go back to our roots, so to speak, as a family business and bring a product to Alaska and other parts of the country that is manufactured and assembled right here in Alaska. We are excited to do our part in helping to grow our economy and our state."
In previous years, the wall panels almost certainly would have been manufactured overseas, said project architect Brian Meissner of ECI/Hyer, an Anchorage firm. For several years overseas panels have had a cost advantage over domestic panels. Working with Overgaard, an internationally recognized custom façade design company, Bucher has been able to bring this technology to Alaska and make it cost effective. The panels for SLAM were procured through an open competition.
"We were pleased to see Bucher come out ahead in that competition. We were even more pleased to learn that Bucher would be establishing a panel manufacturing plant in Fairbanks," Meissner said.
The SLAM project will place the Alaska State Museums, the Alaska State Archives, and the Alaska State Libraries in one new building at the site of the current Alaska State Museum on Whittier Street. The Alaska Division of Libraries, Archives & Museums is part of the Alaska Department of Education & Early Development.
The project is being phased because of incremental funding and to protect museum objects from damage during construction. Phase 1, awarded in 2011 to PCL Construction Services, Inc., is complete and included some site work. Phase 2, also awarded to PCL Construction Services, Inc., is the construction of the building, including a vault for object storage and the exterior building envelope. Bucher is a subcontractor to PCL Construction Services, Inc. Phase 3, awaiting funding, will be the interior build-out for a turnkey facility with a planned grand opening in April 2016.
For more about the SLAM project, see: http://museums.alaska.gov/lam/slam.html.
For more information about the Bucher Glass contract, contact Scott Bucher at 907-452-2394 or Brian Meissner at 907-561-5543.

European shares edged away from 2012 highs by midday on Wednesday, after weak services data in Europe took some of the gloss off comments from China overnight which had boosted optimism on growth.
By 1124 GMT, the FTSEurofirst 300 was up 1.81 points, or 0.2 percent, at 1,123.06, slipping away from the 2012 year high of 1,128.65.
Continue Reading Below
Indexes began edging away from session highs shortly after European services PMI data showed there were few signs the euro zone region will emerge from recession any time soon, and the UK service sector recovery had stalled.
The euro zone economy is forecast to grow by just 0.1 percent in 2013, according to Reuters polls.
The weak demand from Europe was also reflected in British software company Sage Group's trading update.
The company, whose software is used by more than 6 million small businesses to run payroll and accounts said tough conditions for small businesses in France and Spain would drag on growth in 2013.
Sage shares fell by 2.5 percent.
"It has been a lacklustre session and the PMI numbers gave investors the opportunity to take some small gains out of the market ahead of the Wall Street open," a London-based trader said.
Wall Street was expected to open around 0.3 percent higher but gains remain capped with the deadlock in U.S. "fiscal cliff" negotiations of some $600 billion of tax hikes and federal spending cuts keeping investors in check.
"If the U.S. unexpectedly rallies, however, then there's every chance we can break new 2012 highs but we need a fresh catalyst," the trader said.
Volumes were just 32 percent of their already weak 90-day daily average as investors begin to wind down for the Christmas holidays, while the euro zone blue chip index, up 0.3 percent at 2,597, failed break through 2,598.
"The stoxx50e is trying to break the horizontal resistance area of 2,605 and 2,610 and I believe it is possible to break that this week," Roelof-Jan van den Akker, senior technical analyst at ING Commercial Banking, said.
"If we see a close above 2,610 then that is an interesting buy signal for a rally in the coming months towards the horizontal resistance level around 3,000."
He said a failure to close above 2,610 this week could lead to a minor retracement before the index resumes its attack on that level.
Comments overnight from Chinese Communist Party chief Xi Jinping who said the country will ensure stable economic growth, spending cuts lifted commodity-related stocks with basic resources up 1.8 percent.
Banks were higher too, led by heavyweight HSBC up 0.9 percent has sold a stake in China's Ping An Insurance for $9.38 billion.
In a note on European stocks, U.S. investment bank Citi remained bullish on prospects for equities in Europe in 2013.
It recommended that investors choose companies with defensive growth characteristics and which are seen as "world champions" in their sector.
The world's No. 3 retailer Tesco climbed 2.9 percent after announcing it is set to end its five-year attempt to crack the cut-throat U.S. grocery market and focus instead on its struggling home business and faster-growing emerging markets.
Struggling phone maker Nokia rallied 7.3 after announcing it is to partner with China Mobile, the world's biggest operator, to launch a version of its flagship Lumia smartphone tailored for the world's largest market.

What do you do for a campus job or work study?
I don't have a campus job, except for being a peer mentor, which I LOVE! :)
Have you had any internship, research, or study abroad experiences?
I worked last summer and am currently working this summer on a research team for pediatric asthma at Johns Hopkins Hospital. It's an absolutely incredible experience, and I love working in the medical field and exploring more about future medicine.
How has WC changed your life?
WAC has grown to be one of my favorite places in the world. It has completely changed my perspective on life and has opened so many doors for me through the liberal arts education. I couldn't imagine myself anywhere else!
What should every student do before they graduate?
Every student should explore Chestertown and get to know everything about it. It's such an interesting and quirky place, and there are many shops and restaurants in town that are absolutely necessary to go to before you leave WAC. Also, every student must try an Alaskan from Sam's, garlic knots from Proccolinos, and a nutella latte from Evergrain, because they are absolutely to die for.

In a letter posted on the website TexAgs, Johnny Manziel announced his plans to enter the NFL draft after two unforgettable seasons at Texas A&M. Here is what the Heisman Trophy winning quarterback wrote:
To All My Friends in Aggieland,
After long discussions with my family, friends, teammates, and coaches, I have decided to make myself available for the 2014 NFL Draft. The decision was not an easy one. Anyone one who has ever watched a football game at Kyle Field knows that leaving that atmosphere, those Saturdays with excitement, color, and noise, will be hard for me. I cannot begin to tell you what the support of the school, my teammates, Coach Sumlin, Chancellor Sharp and the fans has meant to me over the last two years. The Heisman Trophy belongs as much to you as it does to me. My teammates and I never doubted the value or the deep and real spirit of The 12th Man. It is not a myth. Anyone one has ever played football for Texas A&M knows that passion is real.
I promise you I will always be an Aggie. I will always try to make you as proud of me in the NFL as I did at Texas A&M. While there are many wonderful memories I will take with me – big wins, surprising upsets, and Bowl victories – I most cherish standing arm in arm with my teammates during the postgame, singing the alma mater, or jumping into the stands to feel real Aggie spirit. I regret we weren't able to bring a National Championship to College Station, but I assure you a championship is going to come soon with Coach Sumlin and these talented players. And when it does, you can bet I will be with you to cheer and celebrate. I'll probably be the loudest one there.
Thank you for making my college years very special. The faces, the friends, the fans, and the experience will forever be an important part of my life. Gig 'em Aggies! I'll always love you guys.
Johnny Manziel

Aaron Jackson
Assistant Professor, Economics
What do you teach?
I teach the Intermediate Macroeconomics and Monetary Economics courses, as well as a course that prepares students for the College Fed Challenge, a competition that teaches students about how the Federal Reserve works. I also occasionally teach a Principles of Macroeconomics course.
Why do you like teaching at Bentley?
It is particularly rewarding to be a positive influence on how students understand the world around them, and to see them develop. The smaller classes at Bentley allow me to get to know students as more than just a number or nameless face. It's fun to get to know what makes them tick outside of the classroom, as well as inside.
What is your teaching style?
Being from the West Coast, I tend to be fairly laid back, and I think this is reflected in my teaching style. In class, I try to promote an open and inviting environment in which students are encouraged to ask questions and participate. One of the main ways I try to engage students is having them work together in small groups. I find this to be very effective in helping them learn the subject matter.
What advice would you offer a new Bentley student?
Don't be afraid to take creative risks in school and in life. When I arrived at Bentley 10 years ago, I did not consider myself to be a creative person by any means. Over time, I have come to recognize the creative potential within myself, and have learned to harness that to benefit me, my students and Bentley as a whole. Having the imagination to be able to see a problem from a variety of perspectives is immensely helpful not only in the classroom, but to career success and living life on your own terms.

|Condition or disease
|HIV Infections Tuberculosis
|Drug: Raltegravir
|Phase 1 Phase 2
People who are infected with HIV are also at risk for becoming infected with TB, particularly in many resource-limited settings, including Sub-Saharan Africa. Rifampicin is a medication commonly used to treat TB. There is a need for HIV treatment regimens that contain newer ARV medications that are well-tolerated and have minimal interactions with rifampicin-containing TB medication regimens. This study will enroll HIV-infected infants and children who have never taken any ARV medications or who have not received ARVs for at least 30 days prior to study entry and who are infected with TB and are taking or will be starting a TB medication regimen that includes rifampicin. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerance of raltegravir-containing ARV regimens to treat HIV when administered with a rifampicin-containing regimen to treat TB in infants and children. Study researchers will also evaluate the pharmacokinetics of the medications (i.e., how medication is absorbed and processed in the body) and determine the most effective dose of raltegravir when it is administered with a TB regimen that contains rifampicin.
During the study, researchers will continuously monitor participant data for safety and other factors. Researchers may adjust the dose of raltegravir given to participants prior to enrolling additional participants.
At study entry, participants will undergo a medical and medication history review, physical examination, medication adherence assessment, blood collection, and urine collection. Participants will receive chewable raltegravir tablets twice daily, and they will also take their TB medications, including rifampicin, and two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) ARV medications that will be chosen by participants' doctors. This study will provide raltegravir to participants; all other medications will be prescribed by participants' own doctors.
At a study visit at Days 5 to 8, participants will remain in the clinic for about 12 hours. They will take part in the same study procedures that occurred at the entry visit, but they will also have small amounts of blood collected several times throughout the 12 hours to measure the amount of medication in the blood. After the Day 5 to 8 visit, participants will begin receiving a fourth ARV medication chosen by their doctor, in addition to the other medications. Participants will continue receiving raltegravir until they stop taking their TB medications. They will continue to take the third ARV medication and the other two ARV medications for 3 months after they stop receiving raltegravir and the TB medications.
Additional study visits will occur at Day 14, Weeks 4 and 8, every 4 weeks until the participant stops receiving raltegravir and the TB medications, and 4 and 12 weeks after stopping raltegravir and the TB medications. These study visits will include the same study procedures that occurred at study entry. Participants will be enrolled in the study for a total of about 4 to 9 months.

|Negro slavery
From the letters and papers of the founders of the Republic
|by Matthew T. Mellon.
Introduction: Mr. Mellon's illuminating presentation of the views of some of the founding fathers on slavery and the Negro exposes the raw nerve of American democratic society. If the central theme of the American Revolution was freedom and equality, the impact of that epochal struggle upon the black man was at best peripheral. The Declaration of Independence had dedicated the Revolution to the proposition that "all men are created equal." There were some who wondered whether that proposition would be applied to the ending of slavery, the greatest of all human inequalities.

Mount Sneffels Wilderness
IntroductionThe United States Congress designated the Mount Sneffels Wilderness (map) in 1980 and it now has a total of 16,485 acres. All of this wilderness is located in Colorado and is managed by the Forest Service.
DescriptionThe United States Congress designated the Mount Sneffels Wilderness in 1980 and it now has a total of 16,566 acres. Mount Sneffels, a 14,150-foot intrusion of igneous rock on the eastern verge of this area, stands higher than any other point in the Wilderness. Members of the Hayden Survey purportedly named the peak after the Icelandic mountain in Jules Verne's " Journey to the Center of the Earth." Sneffels is the Nordic word for snowfield. Westward stretches a sheer vertical world of sharp ridges, icy slopes, and ragged peaks. It makes for dangerous climbing typical of the San Juan Mountains, sometimes called America's Switzerland, a land of unsurpassed mountain drama. Technical climbers are still discovering new routes here, but loose volcanic rock often moves the rating from "dangerous" to "very dangerous." In early fall, when light dustings of snow highlight the jagged terrain and the aspens have turned gold, you'll encounter an absolutely indescribable world of wonder. Fifteen miles of trail, in the eastern and western portions, access some of the finest midsummer wildflower spectacles on the planet, especially in Yankee Boy Basin just outside the eastern boundary, where you'll find the Blue Lakes Trail leading into the area for about 3.5 miles. The only lakes around, Blue Lakes huddle below the western flank of Mount Sneffels in a deep basin. The forbidding central region of the area is rugged beyond words and relatively seldom explored.

Deployed South Dakota Airman, Wife Lose Home to Fire
RAPID VALLEY - The wife of an Ellsworth Air Force Base airman deployed overseas escaped harm when the couple's house caught fire, but three of their pets died in the blaze.
The Rapid City Journal reports that the woman was home alone when the Rapid Valley home's second-floor deck caught fire near a propane grill Thursday. Another woman helped the homeowner and her dogs escape the flames, but three cats were later found dead inside the destroyed house.
Rapid Valley Fire Chief Tim Kobes says the blaze is not considered suspicious.
The Air Force and the Black Hills Red Cross are helping the woman, who was not identified.

An object store is used to store Message Queue administered objects, which encapsulate implementation and configuration information specific to a particular Message Queue provider. An object store can be either a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory server or a directory in the local file system.
Although it is possible to instantiate and configure administered objects directly from within a client application's code, it is generally preferable to have an administrator create and configure these objects and store them in an object store, where client applications can access them using the Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI). This allows the client code itself to remain provider-independent.
Although the Administration Console allows you to manage an object store, you cannot use it to create one; the LDAP server or file-system directory that will serve as the object store must already exist ahead of time. You can then add this existing object store to the Administration Console, creating a reference to it that you can use to operate on it from within the Console.
The sample application used in this chapter assumes that the object store is held in a directory named Temp on the C drive. If you do not already have a folder named Temp on your C drive, create one before proceeding with the following exercise. (On non-Windows platforms, you can use the /tmp directory, which should already exist.)
Click on the Object Stores item in the Administration Console window's navigation pane and choose Add Object Store from the Actions menu.
Alternatively, you can right-click on Object Stores and choose Add Object Store from the pop-up context menu. In either case, the Add Object Store dialog box (Figure 2–11) will appear.
Enter a name for the object store in the Object Store Label field.
This provides a label that identifies the object store in the Administration Console.
For this exercise, type in the name MyObjectStore.
Enter the JNDI attribute values to be used for looking up administered objects:
Select the name of the attribute you wish to specify from the Name pull-down menu.
Type the value of the attribute into the Value field.
Click the Add button to add the specified attribute value.
The property and its value will appear in the property summary pane.
Repeat steps Adding an Object Store to Adding an Object Store for as many attributes as you need to set.
For this exercise, set the java.naming.factory.initial attribute to
and the java.naming.provider.url attribute to
(or file:///tmp on the Solaris or Linux platforms). These are the only attributes you need to set for a file-system object store; see LDAP Server Object Stores for information on the attribute values needed for an LDAP store.
Click OK to add the object store and dismiss the dialog box.
The new object store will appear under Object Stores in the navigation pane, as shown in Figure 2–12. The red X over the object store's icon indicates that it is not currently connected to the Administration Console.
When you click on the object store in the navigation pane, its contents are listed in the result pane. Since you have not yet added any administered objects to the object store, the Count column shows 0 for both destinations and connection factories.
Once you have added an object store, you can use the Properties command on the Actions menu (or the pop-up context menu) to display an Object Store Properties dialog box, similar to the Add Object Store dialog shown in Figure 2–11, to view or modify any of its properties.
Now that you have added an object store to the Administration Console, you must connect to it in order to add administered objects to it.
Click on the object store's name in the Administration Console window's navigation pane and choose Connect to Object Store from the Actions menu.
Alternatively, you can right-click on the object store's name and choose Connect to Object Store from the pop-up context menu. In either case, the red X will disappear from the object store's icon, indicating that it is now connected to the Administration Console.

Survey Finds More Evidence That Mental Disorders Often Begin in Youth
About 8 percent of U.S. teens meet current criteria for having a serious emotional disturbance, according to two NIMH-funded studies published in the April 2012 issue of the Archives of General Psychiatry. Background A September 2010 study using data from the NIMH-funded National Comorbidity Survey-Adolescent Supplement (NCS-A) found that about 20 percent of youth are affected by a mental disorder sometime in their lifetime. The NCS-A is a nationally representative, face-to-face survey of more than 10,000 teens ages 13 to 18. Parents or caregivers were also asked to complete a corroborating questionnaire after teens were interviewed. The NCS-A used criteria established by the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-IV) to assess for a wide range of mental disorders including mood and anxiety disorders, behavior disorders like attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), eating disorders, and substance use disorders. In this most recent analysis, Kathleen Merikangas, Ph.D., of NIMH, Ron Kessler, Ph.D., of Harvard University, and colleagues examined the prevalence of mental disorders, as well as the severity of the disorders, within a 12-month period to estimate the rate of serious emotional disturbances (SED) in youth. SED was defined by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration (SAMHSA) as a "mental, behavioral, or emotional disorder … that resulted in functional impairment which substantially interferes with or limits the child's role or functioning in family, school, or community activities." Results of the Study The researchers found that about 8 percent of all respondents had SED. Those with behavior disorders were most likely to be considered to have a severe disorder. Those with three or more coexisting disorders were also more likely to be severely affected. Similar to adults, anxiety disorders were the most common conditions in adolescents. Echoing many other studies, girls were more likely to have a mood or anxiety disorder or eating disorder, while boys were more likely to have a behavior disorder like ADHD or substance use disorder. Contrary to regional studies, this report showed a lower rate of depression among Hispanics compared to whites. Significance The findings in this study reflect the widely held belief that most psychiatric disorders first manifest in childhood or adolescence and tend to persist or recur throughout a person's life. The researchers conclude that the high prevalence rate of mental disorders in U.S. adolescents underscores the need for more research focused on changing the trajectory of mental disorders in youth. What's Next More research is needed to better understand the differences in prevalence rates among cultural and ethnic groups in different regions of the country ceus for nurses Citations Kessler R, Avenevoli S, Costello J, Georgiades K, Green JG, Gruber M, He J, Koretz D, McLaughlin K, Petukhova M, Sampson N, Zaslavsky A, Merikangas K.

Writing a bill for disaster relief from Hurricane Sandy surely is fairly straightforward, with aid concentrated say on loans and reconstruction for New York, New Jersey and other hard-hit areas.
But, according to Taxpayers for Common Sense (and honestly, you don't want to click this link unless you're a real budget head), the bill contains much, much more in unrelated items.
Here's a rundown, again courtesy TCS:
Now, there clearly have been bigger instances of pork than this legislation, but the list demonstrated that not all of the Sandy aid legislation is for Sandy aid. Also on Monday, the influential Club for Growth said they will score "No" votes in their report cards, which matters as those report cards are then used as a basis for fund raising.
Sen. Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat, said Monday that it's "legitimate" to scour the bill for non-related Sandy items. Schumer is pressing Republicans to back the $60.4 billion legislation, as bipartisan support is needed to survive a filibuster.

LOS ANGELES -- The heavyweight bout at this year's Los Angeles show took place in West Hall of the Convention Center in the entry level SUV class.
On the left, just inside the door, was the new 2012 Honda CR-V, California's top selling vehicle and a perennial contender for leadership in the category nationally. On the right, just across the walkway past the Lincoln display, was the 2013 Ford Escape, the 2011 national sales leader in the segment, but a distant also-ran in import-dominated California.
Until now, the Escape stayed close to its boxy SUV roots design-wise, while the CRV has adopted a more contemporary look. But Ford has gotten much more aggressive with the sleek, European-designed 2013 Escape it debuted here. It's loaded with technology, including a sensor-operated electronic rear liftgate, and is the first Ford to be offered with two EcoBoost engines.
Jim Farley, Ford's group vice president of global marketing, sales and service, is one of the most hyper-competitive people in the industry. A warrior at heart, he clearly relishes the mano a mano competition between the two vehicles.
Asked how he thinks the Escape stacks up against the CR-V, he replies with a broad smile: "Pretty darn well."
Eric Loeffler, global chief engineer of Escape, walks up and tells Farley he has given the CR-V a good once-over. He tells Farley Honda has done some "subtle things" with the vehicle, but that Honda has used some hard plastic materials on its instrument panel.
Says Loeffler: "Our interior is much more luxurious."
Farley spent nearly two decades at Toyota and Lexus. He knows Honda is a formidable adversary.
"They have a really loyal owner base. I'm sure none of those people will want to look at another brand."
Is there a touch of irony in Farley's voice? The twinkle in his eye indicates there just might be.

By Hindustan Times
Salman Khan-starrer 'Ek Tha Tiger' has emerged as the most searched movie online in the country, while Delhi topped the list of queries for cities during 2012, according to the search engine giant Google.
According to Google Zeitgeist, 'Ek Tha Tiger' was followed by 'Rowdy Rathore'. The next in list were sequels like 'Jannat 2', 'Housefull 2', 'Raaz 3' and 'Jism 2'.
'Barfi' and 'Vicky Donor', which were major successes on the box offices, however, appeared lower on the list at the seventh and 10th spot, respectively.
Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai, Chennai and Pune were the most searched cities in the Zeitgeist.
The opening of the new 165-km long Yamuna Expressway in Greater Noida helped it top the list of local searches, followed by Freedom Park, Bangalore, IIT Bombay and Meenakshi Amman Temple in Madurai.
The volatile stock market helped Sensex become the most searched news item, while the demise of former Maharashtra chief minister Vilasrao Deshmukh was second in the list.
Anna Hazare's campaigns lost steam this year, ranking fourth, behind Hurricane Sandy in the US.
Controversies surrounding Aseem Trivedi's cartoons, Abhishek Manu Singhvi's videos and crisis at Kingfisher Airlines also ranked high in the list.

The ease of use iPhone integration that allows you to dial numbers, look up addresses and send emails directly from links in Safari may actually be the iPhone's downfall. By formatting a "dial" link incorrectly so that the webpage shows one number, but the actual number being dialed is something else, exploiters can make you place expensive 900 or overseas numbers without your knowledge.
In fact, those numbers could then route to the actual number you want to dial, so you wouldn't even know the difference. To avoid getting shafted until Apple comes up with a fix that shows exactly who you're dialing before or during the actual dialing process, you should limit your webpage click-to-calls to trusted sites like Google Business or Yelp. Dialing numbers off of Google Searches, on the other hand, probably isn't a good idea. [InfoWorld via MyiTablet]

Yatsugatake, Nagano
Autumn is a great time to view the rugged landscape of the Yatsugatake Heights, offset by the surrounding peaceful forests where you can enjoy walking trails and relaxing hot springs.
Mt. Zao, Yamagata
The scenic drive along the Zao and Zao Echo Line toll roads is worth the trip alone. Take the cablecar to the summit for panoramic autumn views, then chill out in a bath at Zao Onsen.
Lake O-numa, Hokkaido
Enjoy cycling or walking around O-numa and Ko-numa lakes. The view of Mt. Komagadake draped in autumn hues across Lake O-numa is stunning.
Mid October—Late October
Kinugawa River, Tochigi
The Kinugawa River area's popular hot springs are a great place to admire the autumn colors. You're also close to Nikko, Lake Chuzenji and Kegon Falls.
Takaragawa Onsen, Minakami, Gunma
Take a soak in Japan's largest rotenburo while also soaking in the colorful trees surrounding the baths as the Takara River flows by.
Karuizawa, Nagano
Japan's imperial mountain playground is a great place to enjoy some golf or autumn hiking then check out the museums and the outlet mall.
Lake Towada, Aomori
Enjoy the view from a sightseeing boat, stroll along the bank from Katsura-ga-hama, or visit nearby Okuirise. A three-hour hike through the spectacular gorge features fourteen waterfalls.
Late October—Early November
Takachiho Gorge, Miyazaki
Take a breathtaking train ride across Asia's highest railway bridge or enjoy a boat ride through the gorge down the Gokase River with its red cliffs and take in the koyou.
Mt. Koya, Osaka
Koya-san is a peaceful place to enjoy the koyo. This sacred mountain and active Buddhist monastery hosts an autumn festival (Oct. 16).
Hakone, Kanagawa
View the reflection of Mt. Fuji in Lake Ashino, stroll through Gora Park or the Hakone Art Museum, soak in one of the many onsen or walk the colorful foothills in this popular area.
Lake Inawashiro, Fukushima
Mt. Bandai and Mt. Azuma are popular autumn destinations, and a bit further north Lake Hibara and Lake Goshiki-numa also offer incredible views.
Risshaku-ji Temple, Yamagata
Enjoy the unforgettable view of Risshaku-ji Temple, built in 860, perched atop a rock, then climb on up for great views.
Early November—Mid November
Momiji-dani Park, Miyajima Island, Hiroshima
As its name suggests, Momiji-dani (literally Maple Valley) turns bright red each fall. Walk or take the cable car up Mt. Misen for more view.
Okutama, Tokyo
Tokyo's outdoor playground has countless trails where you can enjoy colorful hikes along the Tama River or around Mt. Mitake.
Nagatoro Valley, Saitama
Enjoy the koyou with a relaxing float on a boat down the Arakawa River. Then take the cable car up nearby Mt. Hodo for a bird's eye view.
Kenrokuen Garden, Kanazawa, Ishikawa
One of Japan's most famous gardens and a great place to relax with a cup of green tea while taking in the fall foliage.
Aoba-dori Avenue, Sendai, Miyagi
This well known street in Sendai come alive in color each fall.

Stroll the castle grounds filled with the golden yellow leaves of gingko trees.
Arashiyama, Kyoto
Enjoy the fall colors by boat on the Hotsu River or by toy train, then walk through the nearby temples.
Eikando Temple, Kyoto
The temple gardens are beautiful anytime, but a visit is at night in November when the trees are flooded with lights is unforgettable.
Yoro Valley, Chiba
There are eight hiking trails, ranging from 4 to 8 hours that offer great autumn viewing including some stunning waterfalls.
Imperial Palace, Tokyo
Enjoy a brisk autumn stroll and the gingko trees around the Imperial Palace grounds.
Note: Approximate peak viewing dates are based on national averages but actual viewing dates vary depending on weather and location.
OJ people share their favorite places enjoy the koyou.
Tokufuji, Kyoto
I have a soft spot for Tofukuji in Kyoto. It is in a residential part of the city, so there are no tall buildings to spoil the view. In autumn the exquisite gardens come alive with color, and if you get there early on a weekday, it is surprisingly peaceful. I like the combination of an ancient shrine and natural-looking gardens.
Mt. Takamaru, Tokushima
While the symmetry and bold colors of the momiji (maple leaves) is undeniably attractive, the beech trees (buna) have enchanted me most here in Shikoku. Virgin buna forests can be found deep in Tokushima's mountains near Mt. Takamaru. The large yellow leaves blanketing the lower slopes create a bright, uplifting atmosphere - sure to rejuvenate you after the long drive up the winding road past Kamikatsu. An enjoyable hike to the summit of this gentle peak also offers great views.
Okutama, Tokyo
Of course Okutama is where you want to be to enjoy the changing seasons! Walking on the Mukashi-michi, through the Tama River valley from Okutama Station to Lake Okutama is my choice for a wabi sabi autumn experience. You can see traditional farmhouses, walk over suspension bridges and soak in the reflection of fall colors near the tranquil banks of Lake Okutama. I'll see you there!
Tateshina, Nagano
Between the Yatsugatake mountain range and Kirigamine Plateau is a popular resort area called Tateshina. There are a lot of hot spring hotels in the vicinity and one of my favorite places to go when I lived in Nagano was the rotenburo at Taki-no-yu Onsen. It's not the largest, or the most popular onsen around, but the simple stonework, smooth wood baths surrounded by momiji and an icy stream rolling by make it a perfect place soak in the warmth, feel the crisp fall air and spend a lazy day – getting psyched for winter!
Ashibetsu-dake Hut, Hokkaido
This is a great place to get away from it all and enjoy the colors of this magical season. It's a three-hour hike to the old stone hut sitting at the foot of Mt. Ashibetsu-dake, nestled between the bank of the Yuufure River with the surrounding forest showing off its spectacular wears. There is nothing at the hut so you have to take everything with you, but its well worth it and the hike to the peak will reward you with wonderful autumn colors all the way to the top where you can enjoy some great views.
Tanzawa, Kanagawa
Personally, I love the beechnut forests with their green and white trunks and "refreshing" leaves. In autumn they turn a beautiful yellow and when a few bright red maple trees are interspersed, the scene is like a homecoming. Tanzawa was the first mountain I climbed as a child, and although it doesn't boast a magnificent forest, my relationship with the area makes it a personal favorite. This fall I'll bring my family for the first time in a long while.
Karasawa, North Alps, Nagano
I highly recommend the Karasawa area of Nagano's Northern Alps for autumn views. The leaves along the tree line are lightly colored and dance beautifully among the rocks creating an unforgettable view.
