Bora Bora has so many natural advantages, which deserves its long-standing reputation in retreat most fascinating island South Pacific "has all the Polynesian islands would be the Blue Lagoon, sand fringed motus, high peaks," says the founder of Lonely Planet Tony Wheeler.

Virginia Tech officials say students on its website to keep the interior doors and secure because of one report of a person with a weapon in the region.

The alert, issued at 9:37, said the person with a gun had been seen near Dietrick Hall, a dining room.

Dietrick, a story of three, a center of 93,000 square meters of eating, also houses a convenience store, laundry center and Bake Shop, the Richmond Times-Dispatch notes.

The Associated Press says the dining room is just steps away from where the shooting took place in 2007.

Upgrade to 11:23 ET Huchler Amanda, a student on campus, says Rachel Roubein USA Today that he is among the students closed in Hahn Hall. "The professor is still teaching," he says. "Everyone is calm, and nobody seems worried. Tech does a great job to keep everyone safe."

Updated at 11:12 ET:. "Desired result" Larry Hincker, associate vice president for University Relations, said the report was of three students participating in a camp called He says there are a number of camps held during the Consumer school year, a few days to some others. Asked about the alert, Hincker said: "The watch is in effect until further notice. We are asking people to stay indoors until they hear again."

Update at 11:09 ET: Virginia Tech police chief Wendell Flinchum says no one is in custody, and the alarm remains in force.

Upgrade to 11:07 ET: In a press conference on campus, Virginia Tech police officer tells reporters that the alert remains in force.

Updated at 10:46 ET: Here's the latest warning from the school:

People should stay inside the campus.

Update at 10:35 ET: John Beck, a student who is on campus for the summer, but no official announcement at school, says he got the first warning text 9:41 ET.

Update at 10:32 ET: the police at Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, Christiansburg and Montgomery County were on campus in search of the subject, Richmond Times-Dispatch reports.

Update at 10:25 ET: the school website says three young people who participate in the field of Virginia Tech reported seeing a man holding what could be a gun, according to the Associated Press.

They said it was covered by a cloth or some sort, and the man was walking in the direction of volleyball.

Lynn Davis, a spokesman for the school, told CNN the man is described as a white man with light brown hair, wearing a blue shirt and white striped. He is also wearing shorts and sandals, she said.

Police in Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Christiansburg and Montgomery County were on patrol on campus, while searching the subject.

Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia, was the scene of a shooting in April 2007 that left 32 dead and 25 wounded.

We recently discovered that the BlackBerry has Packager module package references correctly in the case of some source code compatibility. And this post explains how to solve this problem.

WSClient + + comes with the file that contains compiled Java classes wsclient.blackberry.jar with the source code needed to run the project. But if the file is not packaged correctly wsclient.blackberry.jar the BlackBerry, the runtime will fail with an error

Module "WSClientForBlackberry" is not

It is because of the difference between the compiled version wsclient.blackberry.jar, and the version of your BlackBerry goal. Since we can not build and ship each version separately, it is following to solve this problem.

Sometime in the near future, our children all smartphones, and fi and hanging around the idea of ​​a second hand absurd and archaic. If we had Nintendo, it begins to look today and IOS Android development.

Earth may have already had two moons, but one was destroyed in an accident that left idling our current lumpy lunar orbit on one side than the other, scientists say.

Astronomers have long been puzzled that differences in the side of the moon always faces the Earth, almost half and half and always on the opposite side. Topography near the hand is relatively low and flat, while the other side is high and mountainous, much thicker shell.

According to a new computer model, this discrepancy can be explained if the smaller is the "companion of the moon", we met the other side of the moon in its history. Such a collision would have been splashed across a particularly hard stone material now forms the current lunar highlands.

For the theory to work, the little moon crashed into the largest in about 4400 miles (7081 km) per hour.

"This is the slowest possible collision of two massive bodies could have been dropped in another gravity," said co-author Erik Asphaug, a planetary scientist at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC).

This relatively slow speed, the collision on the other side would not have enough energy to melt rock and carve out a crater. It would have been powerful enough to cast material of the small moon, the moon bigger.

"It's like a car accident, where you have crumpled fenders, but that will not melt when they hit cars," Asphaug said. "It's the same kind of phenomenon."

Collision Created moon meteor shower

The new theory, Asphaug and postdoctoral researcher Martin Jutzi UCSC, is detailed in the latest issue of the journal Nature.

According to their model, the two moons side by side peacefully about 80 million years, each in its stable orbit. Moons were the same color and texture, but one was about three times larger than the others, Asphaug said.

"Our moon looked like a large dish in the sky ... and when it goes down, there was a moon is another leak of about 60 degrees," he said.

This short period of harmony was broken moon, depending on the model where the gravitational interactions with the Earth's natural because the two moons to slip further from our planet. Sun's gravitational tug to destabilize the small lunar orbit and dropped it in its larger siblings.

Although not very energetic, the collision would have pushed trillion tons of lunar dust, out of the room, obscuring the two moons for several days.

"When the dust is removed, it had a moon, which may seem similar to our moon today," said Asphaug.

Up to a million years after the event, the earth was bombarded by fragments of different sizes of the moon, the largest of which could be as much as 62 miles (100 kilometers) across.

"You meteor in the sky for a long time," Asphaug said, although probably not have been life on earth are not attending a spectacular sky show.

Lunar Smashup opens "Problems Cool"

Astronomer Jeffrey Taylor of the University of Hawaii said the theory of the new moon is very interesting and worth further investigation.

Asphaug and Jutzi Model is not only a share of asymmetry of the Moon, Taylor said, but the results also explained the fates of smaller satellites theory predicts that another friend was supposed to be on the side of the Moon.

One of the main theories about how our Moon formed is that he was born after a Mars-sized planet collided with Earth shortly after the solar system formed about 4.5 billion years. (See "Earth-Moon formed later collision of an asteroid than previously thought.")

Scientists think past smashup created by molten rock ring of debris around the Earth, which eventually merged in many different organs, like the Moon. (Theme: "The moon has fallen, and may still be in a Contracting State.")

But "if so, what happened to [the smaller moons] This is the only thing that could happen to them," said Taylor, who was not involved in the study.

The new theory is not without problems, however. For example, it explains why the opposite side of the moon package shows high concentrations of aluminum, said Taylor.

If the two moons were formed from the material itself, as has been assumed, a moon and splatterings companion, would be a bit 'of aluminum, as the moon's interior.

However, this problem could be solved by future lunar studies, says Taylor, and it's not serious enough a reason to reject the theory.

"In any case," he says, "opens up the cool work problems."

Needham analyst Rajvindra Gill, is to clarify why it was so hard Nvidia has had to jump after the company's stock price.

Gill downgraded the company even though it was a great leap in graphics processing unit (GPU) market share over AMD.

But Gill said he is worried about sales office charts.

Mercury Research shows that the total sales of desktop discrete graphics were reduced by 15 percent. While the proportion of Nvidia in the market remained virtually unchanged during the quarter, which have been lost shedloads. There is also concern that the gap between integrated Intel graphics on the desktop and what Nvidia and AMD has a unique narrow, making it vulnerable desktop discrete graphics.

Gill said the next version of Barrons Sandy Bridge will provide a noticeable improvement in the relative power and low power consumption "compared to discrete components. He sees desktop discrete graphics as still being at risk and" attach rate "for desktop GPUs are decreasing over time, not up. Sales of notebook discrete graphics on the back shipments of Sandy Bridge is temporary, and that over time, mobile discrete graphics are also at risk in general said Gill.

He noted that sales in China accounted for 60 percent of revenues Nvidia GPU. But they are in danger of fiscal tightening there, and cooling consumer spending.

In this tutorial we'll learn how to convert a plain daylight shot into a night shot and add some special effects to it. We'll not only turn a daylight image into a nighttime image, but we'll also add some stormy rain to the scene.
Step 1:
Open the building photo first. We're going to select the front gate and isolate it from the background. Press Ctrl + J to duplicate the background layer. Rename this new layer “Gate.” Choose the Polygonal Lasso Tool (L) and draw a selection around the gate.


Step 2:
Hold down the Alt key and subtract the areas that don‟t belong to the gate. After you finish press the Add Layer Mask button. Then set the blend mode to Linear Burn.


Step 3:
Select the “Background“layer, then press Ctrl + J and rename this layer “Lighting.”


Step 4:
With the layer “Lighting” selected, go to Filter > Render > Lighting Effects. Select style „three down‟. Rotate them upside down, and place them in accurate positions. Then move the Exposure Slider to 93 and set the Ambience to 3, as shown below.


Step 5:
Open the”birds” photo and drag it to your composition. Place it behind the “Lighting” layer. Then rename it to “Birds.”


Step 6:
Select the layer named “Lighting.” Choose the Polygonal Lasso Tool (L), and draw a selection around the house. Then click on the Add Layer Mask button.



Step 7:
Go to the Background Layer, duplicate it, and place it below the “Gate” layer. Change the Layer Blend Mode to Overlay. Then rename the layer to “House Overlay.”


Step 8:
Press Ctrl + L for the Levels command. Enter the values shown below.


Step 9:
Press Ctrl + U for the Hue/Saturation command. Make sure the Colorize option is selected and enter the values shown below.


Step 10:
Make sure the layer “Birds” is highlighted. Then select Sponge tool (O). Set the Mode to Desaturate and Flow to 100%. Click and drag on over-saturated areas, as shown below.


Step 11:
Select the Burn tool (O). Set the Range to Shadows and Exposure to 50%. Click and drag over the bright branches.


Step 12:
Select the layer “Lighting.” Then Press Ctrl + Shift + U to desaturate the layer.


Step 13:
Make a new layer named “Fog,” and place it on top of the “House Overlay” layer.


Step 14:
Press D to make sure the foreground color is black and background color is white. Press Alt + Backspace to fill the layer with the foreground color. Go to Filter > Render > Difference Clouds. Then press Ctrl + F twice to make the effect more Volumetric.


Step 15:
Change the Blend mode to Linear Dodge (Add) for the “Fog” layer. Then set the Opacity to 18%.


Step 16:
Press Ctrl + L for the Levels command. Then enter the values shown below.


Step 17:
Select the “Gate” layer, and add a Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layer. Make sure Colorize is selected. Enter the values shown below.


Step 18:
Ok, we haven‟t finished yet. Let‟s make another stormy version of the same image. Save this image. Then go to the “birds” layer, select the Move tool (V), and move the layer until you can‟t see the birds.


Step 19:
Set the Opacity of the “Fog” layer to 30%.


Step 20:
Make a new layer named “Rain” and place it behind the “gate” layer.


Step 21:
Press Alt + Backspace to fill the layer with a foreground color. Then go to Filter > Noise > Add Noise. Turn on the Monochromatic option. Then set the Amount to 170%.


Step 22:
Go to Filter > Blur > Motion Blur. Set the Angle to -50 and the Distance to 32. Then press Enter to apply the filter.


Step 23:
Press Ctrl + T for the Free Transform command. Scale the layer up to 115% to move unwanted layer edges outside the frame.


Step 24:
Hold down the Alt Key and click on the Eye next to the “Rain” Layer to hide all layers except “Rain. “ Then press Ctrl + L for the Levels command. Then set the values shown below.


Step 25:
Hold down the Alt Key and press the Eye next to “Rain” layer to unhide all the layers. Then change the Opacity of the “Rain” layer to 80%. Then change the Blend Mode to Multiply.


Step 26:
Double-click on Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layer. Then change the values, as shown below.


Step 27:
Add a Levels Adjustment Layer and enter the following values.


Step 28:
Select the “Rain” layer. Then click on the Add Layer Mask button. Select the Brush Tool (B). Change the Opacity to 50% and make a few clicks on some areas to minimize the rain effect.


CONCLUSION:
You could use this technique on any building photo taken in daylight. In this tutorial, I used a photo I took at sunset. That‟s why there are no harsh shadows on the building, which makes the image a good sample to use to show these effects. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.
