GeoCaching is an outdoor adventure game where players use GPS devices to find hidden containers called geocaches that have been placed at specific locations shared on the internet. Players log their finds online, and the geocache containers usually contain items for trading and a logbook to sign. The goal is to reach the cache location, find the hidden container, and trade or log the find. It involves using GPS coordinates, optional supplies, and exploring both the journey to the location and challenge of finding the cache.
This document provides an overview of geocaching and how GPS technology enables the treasure hunting game. It explains that geocaching began in 2000 when the first cache was hidden using GPS coordinates. It then defines key geocaching terms and outlines the basic elements of locating and interacting with caches, which typically involve using a GPS receiver to find hidden containers. The document also provides guidance on geocaching etiquette and considerations for hiding one's own cache.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
ย
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
