As a traveling golfer you will inevitably play courses that are unfamiliar, and you will have questions about distances, and the laser solves them quickly and easily, and can measure not just the pin, but to trees, mounds, people, and other objects for lay-up or carry distances.
Throughout his journey, Papa Mau navigated along a prescribed route under autonomous control collecting and transmitting unprecedented amounts of high-resolution ocean data never before available over these vast distances or timeframes.

Most routes -- within Spain, or to nearby destinations in Europe or much longer distances -- were operating, but in many cases with fewer than the normal daily number of flights.
That will help pry open the last-mile jam, letting future devices provide instant access to the best network and cheaply adapt to new standards that allow signals to carry more data or travel longer distances.
At many big hub airports, airlines do provide motorized carts to help passengers, disabled or not, with long distances. (You can flag one down or ask an airline agent to request a pickup.) Most carts run between gates for connecting flights.

On the other hand, the two researchers do more or less agree about distances.
If an endurance race is too much to take on, the Irish Triathlon website lists many races that can be done in teams, as relays or with more manageable distances.
The changes in the distribution environment are now leaving many cities and towns without booksellers or requiring consumers travel significant distances to reach a book store.
Repeated attempts to lift decades-old bans on it have failed, even with mechanisms thrown into energy legislation over the years that would have allowed coastal states the opportunity to permit or deny exploration at various distances off their respective coasts.
They travel long distances on foot, or by bus, boat, bicycle, rickshaw, sled or subway.
Having one printing protocol will ease training and support requirements as well as reduce the costs associated with sending documents long distances by overnight mail or fax.
CNN: Technology - Engineers approve standardization of Internet Printing Protocol
And in some of the world's great winemaking regions, such as California, geological variations mean that the ability of soil to retain or lose moisture can change within distances of a few metres.
Direct current is ideal for moving power long distances and for moving power underwater or underground.
Studies that questioned the safety of ambulance response times and distances tended to be "overlooked or criticised" while studies suggesting that longer ambulance journeys were safe were quoted without comment.
In what can only be described as a podiatrists worst nightmare, the vast majority run long distances in plastic sandals, flip flops or even barefoot.
Giant, centralized distribution facilities that use nuclear or fossil fuels, then sending electricity over massive distances losing upwards of 70-80% of the power in transmission, is the historical utility industry approach.

Now instead of traveling long distances carrying heavy vats of water, or migrating to the cities to make a living, the villagers can stay put and begin to enjoy their surroundings more.
Such machines could be used for scientific research or surveillance, or as relay stations to transmit communication signals across long distances.
Ample evidence is left of how they were carved from softer volcanic rock in a central quarry, but it is still a mystery how exactly they were then moved, despite weighing countless tons, over distances of miles with no mechanical propulsion (or even the wheel).
If the system launches as advertised in May, New York will join other major cities, including Washington, London, Paris and Boston, in embracing the use of municipal bicycle sharing as a new way to move residents and tourists through downtowns at distances that are too long to easily walk or not readily served by mass transit.
Using the passive-power principle found in crystal radios, the method has proved successful over short distances in places where it is difficult to replace batteries or carry out maintenance.
It is similar to a Hertzsprung-Russell (HR) diagram but the latter plots luminosity (or absolute magnitude) rather than just apparent brightness and a knowledge of the distances of the stars plotted is also needed.

Maryland is a small state and if lower gas prices spurred people to drive longer distances for their vacations, Marylanders might end up buying more in Pennsylvania or Virginia.
FORBES: Don't Cut The Gas Tax For Summer Holidays, Double It
Elephants, according to Dr O'Connell-Rodwell, can transmit signals through the ground this way for distances of as much as 50km when they trumpet, make mock charges or stomp their feet.
Electrons, like that imaginary tennis ball, can simply jump (or tunnel) from one place to another, and molecules can attract each other at moderate distances.
With the necessary computing power within reach, and adequate broadband to send that much information over long distances, the final obstacle to developing true holographic video systems is finding a projector or display with fine enough resolution to produce a hologram.
