Reception section[change source]
Hi. I saw the warning tag that said that this section may be hard to understand. I tried to make it better. Should the tag be removed now? Please look at the change I made to make it easier and see what you think. Feel free to make additional changes to help make it easier to read. Also, I had trouble rewording the McDonalds's Yoshi toy sentence in Simple English that still means the same thing and still makes sense. Please help if you can to make it better. Thanks, 2600:1012:B15A:490:6D2B:E3E7:D4DE:2B9 (talk) 01:44, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

Using IBM i? Need to create Excel, CSV, HTML, JSON, PDF, SPOOL reports? Learn more about the fastest and least expensive tool for the job: SQL iQuery.
IBM is announcing an update to the RDi product. For IBM i users there is (very) little new functionality but two new features that caught my eye are:
Both are extremely useful features; I'm speculating IBM is integrating ACS's 5250 emulator plug-in, but the interesting one is the 80-column RPG support. I haven't read or heard about IBM relaxing the 80-column restriction, if they do, that'll be a great day so long as the compiled code runs on v7r1 as well as v7r2.
[UPDATE: IBM confirms that the RDi announcement "pre-announces an upcoming RPG IV feature" but won't add anything further. My speculation is that RPG IV may FINALLY free itself from its 80-column Punch Card Legacy!]
What I do not see is support for non-Windows environments, specifically Mac OS X.

Carol Vorderman and Richard Hammond enjoy 'incredible day' with mare at Ascot
Darkness was descending but there was no mistaking either the bright red trouser suit or the broad smile worn by former Countdown queen Carol Vorderman after the last race at Ascot on Saturday.
For once the cameras were not on her, or fellow celebrity Richard Hammond, of Top Gear and The Grand Tour fame.
Instead, they were greeting their pride and joy Subway Surf after she had finished third in the bumper, the last of nine races on a hectic Saturday.
"I was so nervous – my knees are still shaking," said Vorderman as she patted the five-year-old mare who had been beaten under five lengths by the eighth winner on the day for trainer Paul Nicholls.
"It doesn't get any better than Ascot and that was amazing. It's the first time I've seen her race, and isn't she beautiful?"
Me and my girl in the winners' enclosure....f @Ascoti f Our wonderful trainer f @kimbaileyracingi thinks we are going to have a great next season with her....ooh so happy pic.twitter.com/fydb8cW8bE— Carol Vorderman (@carolvorders) February 16, 2019
Vorderman knows a thing or two about racing, having had a share in the James Bethell-trained Mare Of Wetwang with her Countdown host Richard Whiteley. That mare's greatest moment came with a selling win at Ripon in 2001, but Subway Surf promises much more.
That potential also excites Hammond, who like Vorderman has 'previous' in the sport.
"Oh yes, I've had interests in other horses – the last one won only one race – with trainer Kim Bailey but this mare looks like she could be good," he said.
Asked whether he could handle a horse as adeptly as he handles fast cars, Hammond said: "I've tried riding horses and know only which way to sit – looking at the sharp-end and not the round backend – and point them, looking through their ears!"
He added: "Subway Surf could be a proper horse. I've known Kim a long time, and it's a great group of people involved in her. It's been an incredible day."
Next stop for the team looks like being Sandown on the Saturday before the Cheltenham Festival in a Listed mares' bumper, which will make for a busy week for Vorderman.
"I love Cheltenham and go there with the lovely Michael Dickinson and his wife, who I've stayed with at Tapeta Farm – I will be at the festival on Tuesday and Friday this year," added Vorderman, who spends her time away from work flying her plane and "galavanting around exploring new places".

Oregon's recreational and medical cannabis industries are well-established. Oregon was one of the pioneers of the medical cannabis movement in the United States, when the state legalized medical cannabis in 1998. Medical use of cannabis is approved for the following conditions in Oregon:
- Alzheimer's disease
- Cachexia
- Cancer
- Chronic pain
- Glaucoma
- Nausea
- Persistent muscle spasms
- Seizures
- Others subject to approval
Oregon's medical cannabis laws strictly prohibits delivery of cannabis product. There is one small loophole; Measure 91 says: "deliveries may be made by the marijuana retailer to consumers pursuant to bona fide orders received on the licensed premises prior to delivery." What this means is that if a customer walks into a retail store and places an order, their order could then be delivered to them at a different location. As such, it is required for anyone wishing to start a cannabis delivery service have an operating dispensary first. It's expected that the Oregon Liquor Control Commission will further define cannabis deliveries in the future.
Legalization in Oregon
Oregon's medical cannabis program was approved and legalized back in 1998. Recreational cannabis came 16 years later with the passing of Measure 91, making adult use legal for all adults 21 and up.
What is Oregon's Cannabis Market Worth?
The industry has been booming. A whopping 418 medical cannabis dispensaries already exist in the state. At 1,200 there are almost three times as many recreational dispensaries The industry was worth $5.6 billion in 2016 alone, and is of course expected to climb.
Owner's Requirements
Oregon state law allows counties and cities to decide on the rules for both growers and sellers. If they don't want a cannabis business in the area, they're allowed to ban them outright. Make sure you are familiar enough with your local laws before attempting to open up a cannabis business of any kind.
Licensing Requirements
When applying, you will have to of course submit business records such as the name, legal entity, state registration number, and contact information. Without this information, your application will not be accepted.
An applicant will also have to prove that you have the necessary funding for your business. As part of this process, the applicant will have to pay: $3500 for the registration fee, and $250 for the application fee (non-refundable). These payments are needed before processing. Your application will not be accepted without them
The next stage requires each applicant to have government-issued, valid documentation. Applicants are also subjected to a criminal background check. Next, the specific location of the potential business will be looked at.
Applicants will need to show a map of where they plan to operate, to show they will be outside of any residential zones, as cannabis businesses are not allowed to operate there. The business also may not be within 1000 feet of any educational institution, nor any other dispensary. Applicants sign a form stating that they will comply with these regulations (called the "School/Dispensary Proximity Affirmation Form").
Financial Requirements
Up-front financial costs may depend on the specific location of your cannabis business. Be sure to check local regulations to find out what you should expect. In Oregon, recreational cannabis businesses can usually expect to pay anywhere from 250-4750 dollars. In total, retailers can expect to pay at least 200 thousand to start up their business. To be safe, business owners should have $400,000 available to do so.
What is My Expected Profit?
Regardless of the state, cannabis dispensaries and delivery services gross plenty of money. It is common to make anywhere from 50 thousand a year up to millions, or even tens of millions of dollars.
Considering all the steps needed to open the business and the time needed to obtain product and employees, you're looking at a year or more.
Consulting Companies
The following consulting companies can help with a number of things – including helping with state licensing requirements, completing applications, and running and stocking your business.

- Quantum 9 Inc.
- Medicine Man Technologies

Japan collected the second win of the day shutting out Chinese Taipei, 9-0 in five innings.
Once again, Japan's game was a display of aggressive running.
Japan's lead-off hitter reached in each of the four at-bats. In the first, in the second and in the third inning, head coach Yosuke Sato wasted no time in bunting the runners over. In the third, he waited until a two runners on and no out situation.
Catcher Haruki Sumitani singled in the first run of the game in the bottom of the first against starter Chen Ching Yu and homered off reliever Lin Chia Ying with a runner on in the bottom of the fourth. She enjoyed a three-hit game and batted in three runs. Second baseman and leadoff hitter Rino Setoguchi also got three hits.
The way Japan"s hitters appeared comfortable against any kind of offering from Chinese Taipei, made the team's aggressive running even look redundant.
Mio Sakamoto cruised through Chinese Taipei line up allowing only two singles over four innings of work. Remi Shingu took care of the fifth inning.

SCHAUMBURG, Ill. -- Spooky ghosts, spiders, monsters and graves are around every turn inside the Legoland Discovery Center just in time for Halloween.
For "Brick or Treat" this year, master builder David Howard wants the little monsters in on the action. He's created the scene and it's up to the kids – big and small – to add some of the ghoulish touches.
It took 125,000 bricks to create the haunted village displays with the tombstones, zombie and witch cutouts for cute faces and the intricate giant pumpkin.

Scientists have taken unbelievable, rare shots of a dumbo cuttlefish floating off the coast of California
The animals named for their oversized, ear-like fins usually swim far too deep to see them well. Among the deepest known octopuses, they usually swim around the seabed at depths of 9,300 feet to 23,000 feet below the surface.
The Ocean Exploration Trust's Nautilus Expedition took pictures of the approximately 10,800ft deep kraken in Southeast Davidson Seamount, southwest of Monterey, California. The ship has a number of remote-controlled vehicles that can dive far below the surface. This image material was taken by the ROV Hercules.
This year's six-month expedition has already found a bizarre gulper eel that blows its jaw like a balloon, and some oceanic rocks that NASA believes could come from space. Much of the journey is filmed by cameras that you can see online at Nautiluslive.org.
Expedition researchers were enthusiastic about the strange, cute octopus. "Oh God, is that a dumbo?" You hear the question when the creature appears in the video. After a chorus of Coos, a crew member joked that unusual cephalopod was a reward for all the guinea pigs they had watched.
Marine Pigs, or Scotoplanes are a group of sea cucumbers that look a bit like large, gelatinous beetles. The Dumbo, on the other hand, is a genus of umbrella octopus, which, in this case at least, is quite endearing. Properly named Grimpoteuthis the group of eight-tentacle animals are known for their large, floating processes that look a bit like ears.
But, as the video above shows, there are far more Dumbo octopus than his "ears". The camera-friendly creature opens his skirt at .24 to reveal his incredible tentacles. Stay tuned to 0.44 for the best shot. "Bye, you're beautiful," one hears a crew member say as the video ends. [1
Most Dumbo octopuses are between 8 and 12 inches long, as reported by the Aquarium of the Pacific. Although this particular Dumbo looks graceful, the animals can be vicious. They pounce on their prey – certain crustaceans and bristle worms – and feast them whole, and suck up tasty, floating in the water bite.
This is the fourth annual voyage through the Eastern Pacific for the Trust, which finances the Nautilus in addition to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and others.
The ship has traveled through the waters of California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia and Hawaii. It will soon begin the final leg of this year's journey: a journey through the defunct coasts of the California Borderland area.
The Ocean Exploration Trust did not respond immediately to a request for comment.

Elaine Luria is one of 535 members of the 116th Congress who took their oaths of office Thursday amidst the partial government shutdown.
The former Navy commander defeated Republican Scott Taylor, a former Navy SEAL, in November to take over his seat.
RELATED: Congresswoman-elect Elaine Luria sits down with 13News Now
RELATED: Elaine Luria declared winner in 2nd Congressional District race, beats Scott Taylor
The new Congress will make history for seating a record number of woman and becoming the most racially and ethnically diverse.
Luria told 13News Now her top priorities in office include addressing sea level rise, flooding, and access to quality, affordable healthcare.
After her win in November, the business owner from Virginia Beach said she was excited to work with the Virginia delegation.
"It is the honor of my lifetime to serve in Congress and represent Coastal Virginia, and I look forward to working on behalf of every person living in my district," Congresswoman Luria said. "Everything I do will be informed by what makes Virginia and America stronger. I'll work tirelessly to honor our service members, veterans, and military families; protect Social Security and Medicare; safeguard our environment; speak truth to power, and make affordable health care more accessible."
RELATED: A day after victory, Elaine Luria says it's time to work
All new members of Congress will take the following oath Thursday:
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.
The Congressional Research Service created a guide to the proceedings on the Senate Floor which breaks down what will happen on the first day for the new Congress:
Both the House and Senate convened at noon. One of the first acts in the House: electing a Speaker.
Shortly before 1:30, Rep. Luria joined her Democratic colleagues in casting her vote for Rep. Nancy Pelosi.
The freshman congresswoman also directed the House Administrator to withhold her pay until the government shutdown is over.
"I do not believe it is fair or appropriate for Members of Congress to continue to receive their paychecks while federal employees and their families suffer," said Luria. "Congress should not be awarded for poor performance."
RELATED: Rep. Scott Taylor on final day in office: 'It's the honor of my life'
In one of her first votes on the House Floor, Luria supported legislation that would end the shutdown and reopen the government.

When you are thinking about what career you might want to go into what's the first thing you look at? That's right, the bank you're going to be making one day. Being a college student, it's normal to change your major several different times, so looking at future salaries becomes a regular for most. There are so many things one can become, but money is a very important factor especially if we're going to be doing it for a long time.
Don't waste time! Our writers will create an original "Teacher Career" essay for you whith a 15% discount.Create order
With elementary education as my current major, the concern of teacher's salary is already making me wonder about how I'm going to support myself and a family one day. The salary that these teachers are making aren't leveling out to the hours, responsibility, and the roles they play in the life of the everyday students each year.
Some students go to college for an education degree because they have to decide in a major program and education comes off as being the easiest one, but teachers believe deciding to become a teacher is truly a calling, especially with the younger ones. Teacher.org states, "We need great teachers who can go above and beyond basic expectations." Everyone could become one, but that doesn't mean that they would be good at it or anything better than basic. This world needs teachers that want to influence children and teach them the importance of an education, not teachers who are there because they think everyone can do it and it'll be the easiest. Teachers go through their 4-year bachelor's degree, many Praxis test, certifications, and some even go back to school to get their Masters.

You'll end up re-implementing years and years of autoconf experience and probably badly. We can assume GNU make as long as we keep talking about make so that will not be quite as painful as it would be otherwise, but it'd still be an effort I don't quite see as justified.

It doesn't have to be. For starters, checking for all the header files and libraries could be parallelized easily enough and most of the configury doesn't actually need to be re-run when any of the configure options change. I don't know how active the autoconf project is these days beyond fixing bugs, but some of it could very well be addressed with them?

Severely threatened species include the Australian endemic species, Harrisson's Dogfish Centrophorus harrissoni and the Southern Dogfish C. uyato with declines of >99% in two decades due to commercial fishing (Cavanagh et al. 2003; Graham et al. 2001). Deep-sea data collection is challenging, and the SSG is encouraging the precautionary approach to management as a matter of urgency. 19 Damba Mipentina Paretroplus maculatus (Critically Endangered) endemic to Madagascar, has undergone severe declines due to severe fishing pressure, impact of introduced inavsive species, and habitat destruction.
In addition to the taxonomic groups discussed above, the IUCN Red List also includes representatives from two other Kingdoms. 5). 4 and Section 4), and it is likely that the situation is similar for taxonomic groups not yet evaluated. 3 How Many Threatened Animal Species are There? 2 and Appendix 3a). Comparing the numbers of threatened species in the major taxonomic groups reported for the 2000 and 2004 updates of the Red List (see Appendices 3a and 3b), it is clear that the overall number of threatened species has increased in all groups, with the exception of the mammals (see details below).
The Caudata (salamanders and newts) have significantly more threatened species than average, as the species tend to have small ranges and are very sensitive to habitat loss. The average number of threatened species is determined by the Anurans (frogs and toads), by far the largest amphibian group with over 5,000 species. 5b; see Appendix 3h for detailed results). The families with significantly more threatened species than average include: Astylosternidae (Cameroonian stream frogs); Hynobiidae (Asian salamanders); Rhacophoridae (Asian tree frogs); Plethodontidae (lungless salamanders); Bufonidae (true toads); and the Leptodactylidae (Neotropical typical frogs).

I spent hours driving the Irish coastline looking for waves. The weather was harsh and the ocean temperamental, but it was a trip I will always remember fondly…and I didn't even surf for the first half of it. During one of many surf checks that ultimately ended up with me drinking coffee instead of surfing, I came across the ruins of this old castle, the Irish flag waving stiff in the mild gale. It wasn't a bad day.
I've spent a good deal of my life exploring foreign coastlines in pursuit of waves. I feel very blessed that I can even say that, especially because I realize what a trivial pursuit it is in light of the issues that face many people today. For a number of years though, surfing and surf exploration held a high priority in my life. I gave them great significance, even subconsciously seeking some form of fulfillment in them. It's only now that I can look back in appreciation for how blessed I was but also a little embarrassed at how foolish I was as well.
As far as worldly pursuits go, I think surfing is a great one. It allows the participant the ability to experience nature, to be humbled, and to stay active and young. But like everything else in life, it cannot provide fulfillment and purpose. It is destined to leave you wanting more. Too many times in life I've taken a blessing and tried to find fulfillment in it. Perhaps it's human nature to do this, to take those blessings we cherish in life and seek our satisfaction in them. It doesn't help that our culture seems to constantly promote this mentality. Society tells us to "live our truth," to find what makes us happy and pursue it with reckless abandon. Don't get me wrong, happiness is a good thing. The problem is that the only happiness this world can offer is counterfeit happiness, momentary happiness. It cannot offer anything of substance, anything that will last. Every form of happiness that doesn't have it's source in the living, eternal, and true God will ultimately run out. For God is the only source of eternity, and so if we want lasting fulfillment, lasting happiness and joy, then it must originate in God.
It is the man dying of thirst that knows the value of water. Society offers us soda for our thirst, and for a time we are content with it's artificial refreshment. But soon we realize it just makes our dehydration worse. It wasn't until I realized that even God's blessings can't provide ultimate fulfillment and true satisfaction. They are blessings to be sure, but only He can satisfy the thirst of my soul. This realization has allowed me to enjoy His blessings even more. Blessings like surfing are now enjoyed for what they are meant to be, instead of trying to make them what they are not.
There is rhythm to life and places. Some places it seems easier to sense than others, but most places I've been have a definite rhythm, or lack thereof. Having just returned from Hawaii, the contrast of rhythms between LAX and Hawaii seemed glaringly obvious.
One of my goals as of late is to stay in a proper rhythm with Jesus. I have the tendency to either rush ahead of Him in impatience or stay behind Him in apathy. I believe it was C.S. Lewis who once said something to the affect that the present moment is the only place that eternity touches time; the past is frozen and the future has not yet come so the present is where eternity and life touch. This makes sense to me, and so it makes the need to stay in rhythm with Jesus that much more apparent. While on earth Jesus was never in a rush, but He was also steadfast. He was never worried, but also never apathetic. He was the personification of righteousness, yet He was a friend of sinners. He lived in a divine rhythm, understanding that eternity and the present moment share the same place in the analogue of time.
If I am going to live in the rhythm of Jesus I must learn to live in the present moment. Peter walked on water until his focus shifted from that present moment on the waves with Jesus to the potential uncertainty's of what would come next. I must learn to walk in stride with the One who walks on water, not shifting my gaze but keeping it fixed on Him in this present moment.
Below is an article about finding surf in Wales that The Inertia published. To see the full gallery click here
Fresh Perspectives in the Old World
The white of the sheep stood out against the green of the hills as I drove the countryside toward the coast. Narrow roads meandered under shadowed tunnels created by the canopy of trees overhead. It felt odd to be looking for surf in Wales. Passing numerous inns and old ruins, it definitely wasn't what I was used to on a surf trip. But perhaps that's what charmed me about it.
Wales is a small country but still boasts roughly 870 miles of coastline. Partly due to a small swell window and partly due to the proximity of more consistent surf zones in nearby Scotland and Ireland, Wales is rarely mentioned when talking surf. But it does in fact have waves. I didn't really know what to expect when I set out for the Welsh coastline. My friend and host Mike Taylor simply told me to bring a small wave board and keep my expectations low. Not exactly the kind of advice I hoped to hear, but I appreciated his honesty.
The topography of the Welsh coastline can vary drastically and is largely undeveloped in most parts. It is currently the only country in the world to have a continuous coastal path stretching its entire length; it's called The Wales Coast Path. And with so much coastline undeveloped yet accessible it's no wonder the Welsh created their own sport, Coasteering, that blends rock-hopping, shore-scrambling, swell-riding, cave-exploring and cliff jumping. But I wasn't hoping to go Coasteering in Wales, I was hoping to surf.
Mike has been surfing the Welsh coastline most of his life. If there is a hint of swell in the water he knows where it will be breaking best. He has spent a good portion of his life serving the people of Wales; first as a trauma nurse and now as a pastor. Having grown up in what some would call a rough area, he's seen the best and worst people have to offer. It has made him about as genuine and down-to-earth as they come. Mike's help proved to be invaluable in finding waves in Wales.
At first it was a familiar scenario: one spot had some swell but the winds were wrong, another was clean but lacked swell. We checked numerous spots, and drank too much tea (like their English neighbors, the Welsh enjoy their tea). As we drove Mike would give me mini history lessons about the area. Unlike the U.S., Europe is old. The countries that make it up are full of history and legend, and Wales is no different. Some of the towns date back centuries. It's not uncommon to see ancient castles along the side of the road as you drive. It sort of makes you feel as though you were looking for waves on the set of Robin Hood. It has a way of adding a certain romance to the search that makes finding waves a little less important yet somehow more exciting.
We drove slowly over the narrow, cobblestone road. I didn't need to ask to know that the town was probably as old as America itself. Farmers still used the stone fences that had been erected in the fields long ago, their sheep not seeming to mind the rain. The road eventually made its way along the cliff-lined shore, down a hill to a carpark fronting the ocean. We stared at an empty beach with a headland off to our left.
"Does it ever get crowded?" I asked.
"On weekends it can," replied Mike.
It wasn't this day.
I watched for a set as the rain gently washed across my face. Off in the distance the hills grew slightly darker as the storm approached. I glanced back to shore to see the carpark nearly empty. Just past that stood the ruins of an old estate overlooking the headland. I clocked back toward the horizon. As dusk approached I knew it was time to go in. But the waves were quite fun and I had the headland all to myself. I waited for one more.

Malmerby Hall Wedding Photographer, Lake District
I felt especially honoured to be asked by Olivia to photograph her beautiful wedding in the Lake District as just over a year ago I shot her sister's big day. It's happened a few times in my career and it's always so lovely to see the family again. Olivia and Ben decided to get married at Malmerby Hall in the lake district near where their relationship began. It's the perfect wedding venue: you can rent the hall and stay there with the family, there is a church at the bottom of the garden and big marquee in the grounds. I arrived as Olivia's family were putting the finishing touches to the marquee, with her brother and sister climbing trees so they could tie the table plans to them!
Ben and his ushers welcomed the guests to the church as they all admired the beautiful view of the surrounding hills. Olivia and her wedding party made their way down the garden path from the hall for the service.
Afterwards, drinks were served outside the hall before everyone was called into to the wedding breakfast in the marquee. There was a really fun, informal atmosphere - perfect for me to blend into the background with my camera and get some natural shots of the party in full swing. I love finding unexpected moments that you couldn't have planned like chancing upon the bride and groom practising their first dance - one of my favourite photos from the day.The practise paid off and they glided across the dance floor accompanied by a Sinatra swing band. My night ended surrounded by guests Lindy Hopping away.

Whitworth out to wrap up title
Basketball: Whitworth closes out the Northwest Conference men's basketball regular season this weekend on the road, suddenly looking to right a ship that had been on cruise control.
Whitworth has lost two consecutive game and the Pirates' four-game lead in the NWC standings has been halved. The Pirates (12-2 in conference, 20-3 overall) now lead second-place Whitman (10-4) by two games.
The Pirates have seen their national ranking in the D3hoops.com poll fall nine places, from No. 3 to No. 12 in this week's Top 25 list.
For the third straight game, Whitworth can clinch the outright NWC regular-season championship with a victory – this time in McMinnville, Ore., against last-place Linfield (3-11).
The Pirates' regular-season finale is Saturday night in Salem against Willamette (4-10).
The Northwest Conference tournament begins Thursday.
The pairings for the national tournament will be announced Feb. 25.

Texas Rangers
Mended Rangers starters know 'a lot of us you can mark down as question marks'
The last time Drew Smyly was seen on a big-league mound in a big-league game was Sept. 26, 2016, at the home of the Chicago White Sox, whatever it was called back then.
He threw 97 pitches in five innings, allowing three runs on seven hits and a walk in his 11th loss of the season for the Tampa Bay Rays.
Here's what followed: Smyly was traded to the Seattle Mariners, injured in spring training, operated on in July and non-tendered in early December. The Chicago Cubs picked him up, even though he was recovering from Tommy John surgery and there was the risk he wouldn't pitch for them in 2018.
Or, as it turns out, ever.
He was traded to the Texas Rangers in November, essentially a cash swap as the Rangers paid the Cubs $6 million after they exercised their option on Cole Hamels and traded Smyly and the $7 million left on his deal.
The trade assured Smyly of a spot in the starting rotation that he hopes to be able to fill 30-plus times this season. He was among the 40 pitchers who reported to Rangers spring training Tuesday along with five catchers.
And, like others in the rotation, he brought with him concerns about his health. Smyly, though, doesn't have any concerns.
"I feel healthy, I feel excited and I'm ready to get going," Smyly said. "It's been a very normal offseason for me. All the rehab, I basically got it out of the way last season, so I went into this offseason thinking, 'You're healthy, just like any other pitcher.'"
Smyly is projected to be part of a rotation that includes fellow left-hander Mike Minor, the front-runner to be the Opening Day starter, and right-handers Lance Lynn, Edinson Volquez and Shelby Miller.
Volquez and Miller also underwent Tommy John surgery in 2017, though only Miller pitched last season. Volquez spent the season rehabbing with the Rangers, and Miller pitched ineffectively before dealing with some lingering elbow issues.
Volquez underwent the elbow-ligament replacement for the second time in his career while with the Miami Marlins, and said that coming back was a longer process. He threw four bullpen sessions ahead of camp and said that likes where he is.
"The way I feel right now, I think I'm going to be good," Volquez said. "We'll see what I can do know. I haven't pitched in two years. I'm excited. I let it go a little bit on the last two bullpens, and I felt good the next day. That's what you want."
Lynn had Tommy John surgery in 2016 but has pitched the past two seasons healthy, and Minor showed he could be a starter again after an odyssey with a balky shoulder in 2015 and 2016 and work as a reliever in 2017.
The Rangers have little concern about either of them, and seem satisfied with where the other three are. Nevertheless, there will be questions until they go out and perform.
"A lot of us you can mark as a question mark," Smyly said. "But if we perform to our capabilities, I think we'll be good. It's a veteran staff. We've all been there and done that."
Smyly knows that he relies on command, and that often is the last thing that comes back for a pitcher coming off Tommy John. He has some curiosity, recognizes some unknowns, but isn't short on confidence.
"I don't know how it's going to react because I haven't pitched every five days," he said. "I got into a minor-league game last year. I feel like I got over the hump. I just didn't pitch in a major-league game. For me, it's just being able to come back.
"It's no secret it's been a few years since I played. It's like a new start almost, like your rookie year again. It's like I'm getting thrown out there and have to go prove it. That's the mentality I have to take. As long as I'm healthy and my arm's cooperating, I know what I'm capable of doing. I'm just looking forward to having that opportunity."
Miller pitched in the majors last season for the Arizona Diamondbacks, but he struggled as his elbow became inflamed after his return. But he made one appearance in late September and entered the offseason knowing he was healthy.
It was a normal offseason, which allowed him to focus more on conditioning and to refine his mechanics.
"Just to finally know going into a season I'm healthy and I'm not going to have any setbacks, I was really optimistic about that," Miller said. "I'm really looking forward to what this season is going to bring. I'm really confident in what I've done this offseason to get to where I need to be back to getting big-league hitters out at an efficient rate."
Staying healthy isn't just the key for Smyly, Volquez and Miller, it's key for all five projected starters as well as those who will be called upon at various points during the season. Yohander Mendez and Ariel Jurado top that list, and prospects Taylor Hearn and Jonathan Hernandez are expected to make their MLB debuts this season.
Spring training is about not getting injured. Pitchers and catchers have their first spring workout Wednesday.
"Some of our starters that are coming back from missing time last year, I'm definitely interested in seeing where they are," general manager Jon Daniels said. "They're clinically healthy, but from a baseball standpoint, how much are they ready to take on workload-wise and how does that affect the rest of our staff? That will be a big one for us."

Combination of LiDAR data and the PAG Diekirch
Published on March 29, 2019 by Gary Kries
Challenge PAG Diekirch
This was a small Project I made during my internship at the "Administration du Cadastre et de la Topographie (ACT) "while with the squad of their geoportail.
The numbers for the max permitted height were extracted from the "Plan d'aménagement générale (PAG) Diekirch" published by the "Ministère de l'intérieur". The "actual" height of the buildings got created by the use of the LiDAR data published by l'ACT. I also used the GML file contained in the data published by the "Ministère de l'intérieur".
The final result was calculated and is expressed in volume (m³) as we tried to find out how much area (x; y; z) is still available for continued urban densification. Negative values ( - ) are showing buildings that take up to much volume compared to the permitted amount, while positive values ( + ) show areas where there is still area available for later densification, given that the values in the "PAG Diekirch" do not change.
Disclaimer: There are some errors in the outcome of the project given the fact that the data was not compatible 100% and that I was only able to work for limited time on this project. For example there are buildings either missing in the shape file "Batiment" from the "Ministère de l'intérieur" that are present in the LiDAR data or the polygons for the buildings in the "Batiment" shape file are not compatible with the points defined as building in the LiDAR point cloud. Another one was the rooftops (look at the picture below). Just to name a few.

-ArcMAP (Publisher: ESRI)
-Global Mapper (for the LiDAR data) (Publisher: Blue Marble Geographics)
-FME (Publisher: Safe Software)

Abbott Henderson Thayer
Yesterday, I was at the National Gallery here in DC. They have a show of some of the recently acquired paintings from the Corcoran Collection. There was one there that blew me away. A painting by Abbott Henderson Thayer. This is one he painted of Mt. Monadnock in New Hampshire. He did a bunch of paintings of this mountain. Up close it really is a beautiful piece. Very loose, great colors and lots of layering. Kinda reminded me of the artist Douglas Fryer or Michael Workman.
