The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based navigation system that provides location and time information in all weather conditions, anywhere on or near the Earth where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites. The system provides critical capabilities to military, civil, and commercial users around the world. The United States government created the system, maintains it, and makes it freely accessible to anyone with a GPS receiver.
The US began the GPS project in 1973 to overcome the limitations of previous navigation systems, integrating ideas from several predecessors, including a number of classified engineering design studies from the 1960s. The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) developed the system, which originally used 24 satellites. It became fully operational in 1995. Roger L. Easton, Ivan A. Getting and Bradford Parkinson are credited with inventing it.
Advances in technology and new demands on the existing system have now led to efforts to modernize the GPS and implement the next generation of GPS Block IIIA satellites and Next Generation Operational Control System (OCX). Announcements from Vice President Al Gore and the White House in 1998 initiated these changes. In 2000, the U.S. Congress authorized the modernization effort, GPS III.
Fareed Zakaria GPS is a weekly public affairs show hosted by journalist and author Fareed Zakaria. As of November 2011, the show airs Sundays at 10am Eastern Time and 1pm Eastern Time on CNN. The show also airs Sundays at 1200 and 1900 GMT on CNN International. The "GPS" in the show's title stands for "Global Public Square," a reference to the show's focus on international issues and foreign affairs.
On August 10, 2012, CNN suspended the program pending their investigation of suspected plagiarism. One week later, the New York Times reported, "Time and CNN said they had completed their reviews, found no evidence of plagiarism and restored Mr. Zakaria to his demanding schedule."
Each installment features Zakaria leading a panel discussion and conducting an extended one-on-one interview.
Fareed Zakaria GPS: Interpretation and Commentary on Iran and The GPS Primetime Special: Restoring the American Dream - Fixing Education won a Peabody Award in 2011 "for covering global issues in a manner that shows their true importance for viewers throughout the world." Zakaria's interview with Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao was nominated for an Emmy for "Outstanding Interview".
COP9 signalosome complex subunit 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GPS1 gene.
This gene is known to suppress G-protein and mitogen-activated signal transduction in mammalian cells. The encoded protein shares significant similarity with Arabidopsis FUS6, which is a regulator of light-mediated signal transduction in plant cells. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Plot: Evan Milton (Joshua Paul McCreary) is a door-to-door cutlery salesman that, in his loneliness, has become attached to the voice of his GPS. Especially as his GPS does not merely give street directions, but annoyingly offers advice on sex, hygiene, and weight loss. However, when the GPS suddenly redirects Evan to a different suburban neighborhood and brings up the subject of suicide, Evan realizes he cannot ignore the GPS anymore. He accepts that in order to change his destination in life, he must first confront his past, a secret hidden within a house located in this neighborhood. However, when Milton discovers that the homeowner (Rafael Medina) is an eighteen-year-old kid who believes he is Jesus reincarnated, Milton reconsiders how he interpreted the GPS's directions... and warnings.

Keywords: gps, navigationThrough the walls I hear the screams
The preacher and the slave
You can have your pound of flesh
But you cannot take away, away, away
One day
We'll build a better place
One day
A land we will embrace
This lamb will not lie down
Till the crack of doom
With feet of clay we'd roam, roam
And make this kingdom come, come
One day
We'll build a better place
One day
Upon the rocks of faith
One day
The stars will show the way
We can make this kingdom come
Not by sword, not by gun
New Jerusalem
You can take away my skin
But the fire still burns within
