Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 Review – A Mediocre Adventure Awaits
There is nothing special about Sniper Ghost Warrior 3.
Posted By Aaron Main | On 25th, Apr. 2017
Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 from CI Games is an open world, stealth-driven, first-person shooter most of us would enjoy playing at a friend's house in short bursts, but never lay down any money to actually purchase it. Its somewhat fuzzy mechanics, awkward controls, and all-too-easy level design make this quasi sniping simulator a game lost in the depths of the doldrums. Sniper Ghost Warrior 3's not a bad game by any stretch of the imagination but it felt constrained by what seems like an indie-sized budget and lazy development.
You play as Jon North, a moderately cliched video game hero that will do whatever it takes to see the mission through. With his Marine Captain's training and sniping skills, Jon is dropped into the war-torn country of Georgia to help break up a new terror – a separatist movement that is quickly turning into a bloody civil war. The atmosphere is daunting with rocky terrain, dense forests, and grey skies. Spread throughout four acts, you will move onto new lands with similar but different aesthetics as the game progresses. As Jon traverses the rocky roads by foot or vehicles, he soon realizes there's something more behind this growing war that could lead back to his past. Most of the time the story is forgettable and bland, but it has to be there or you'd just be going from mission to mission shooting people. Through much of the journey, Jon will travel to small villages, drive along winding roads, and see the people of this country live their every day lives as they normally would. But the NPCs aren't much to talk about. Their practically lifeless selves don't interact much with Jon or take any interest in his presence as he stomps through villages with snipers and assault rifles in hand. I even ran one over one during the heat of the battle. The villager wasn't happy, but there was no repercussion for doing so. They're bland fillers in a mostly lifeless open world.
You'll be quick to realize that Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 is far from anything that looks like a high-end current gen game. With textures looking no better than an Xbox 360/PS3 game, character models are an eye sore looking cooky and incomplete — and in most cases very generic. The land and atmosphere aren't the worst I've seen, but it"s not by any means an eye catcher.
All of the game's activities are carried out from the safe house assigned within each location of the game. Each safe house has a Weapons Cache that allows you to purchase and unlock new weapons; a Work Bench that allows you to build ammo, gadgets and more; a Bed for sleeping, and a Laptop station that gives you all of your new missions and assignments.
"The developer claims that sniping in this game is more realistic than ever before, and with the adjustments that must be made to ensure accuracy — such as adjusting the scope elevation to adjust for wind and distance — I was forced to believe them."
With dozens of weapons to choose from, unlock, and earn, Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 can be transformed into something other than a sniping simulator, namely an action game as well. Taking place in a open-world, there are few limits on how to tackle each new objective. Of course, sniping is the logical way to go about eliminating the enemies quickly; and with several variations of sniper rifles to choose from, there's definitely a lot of good equipment. Each rifle looks and feels unique with beautiful accuracy in model design. Depending on how you like your rifle to feel, there are several variations in which to find a rifle that is suitable for your own playstyle. With counters on damage, fire rate, stability, recoil absorption, ammo capacity, mobility, and noise reduction, each rifle can vastly differ from any other. Then you can slightly modify each rifle to give it that extra juice it needs to carry out the particular mission you've been assigned.
Upon arriving at any safe house the game provides, modifications can then be made in the Weapon Cache station. Each rifle includes adding or removing a scope, magazine, silencer, bipod, camo, and vision. Not every sniper rifle is entitled to every category and each category must be unlocked and/or purchased as the game progresses. The recoil and intensity of each rifle felt slightly different than the other depending on which model I had, but I found myself enjoying the game's opening sniper, the XM-2015 more than any others I was able to further unlock. It was an all-around great rifle to use in the open terrain and was very versatile.
The developer claims that sniping in this game is more realistic than ever before, and with the adjustments that must be made to ensure accuracy — such as adjusting the scope elevation to adjust for wind and distance — I was forced to believe them. You'll quickly learn that taking care of your equipment, crafting bullets and gadgets, and maintaining your rifles will become common practice. If equipment and rifles aren't maintained regularly at the safe house, you may find yourself in the middle of the field with a broken silencer or no bullets, forcing you to go in with your assault rifle or melee weapons.
"The controls for the weapons are a totally separate story. Controls are often slow to react or unrefined. For instance, if you preemptively hold R2 to raise your drone to a higher altitude, you'll have to release the button once the drone comes out and press R2 again or it won't react if you're holding the trigger."
With a vast variation of rifles to choose from, the developers didn't stop there. They added an extensive cache of assault rifles for a secondary weapon, pistols for sidearms, and a small selection of knives. Each of which (excluding the knives) are also modifiable to lesser degrees. Oh, and don't forget the drone. It's a little robot that does reconnaissance which allows you to tag out each enemy, ideal sniping points, mortars, and more.
The weapons cache that can be unlocked and taken into each mission is indeed impressive and well thought out. Along with all of those weapons, Jon also has an animal-like sense called Scout that allows him to analyse and track clues spread out in various locations. It's interesting to use it in a particular "missing body" side mission, but not necessary until the game forces it on you — which isn't often.

"Sniper Ghost Warrior 3's extensive side missions can be a lot of fun. Spread generously throughout the open world, side missions include several Point of Interest locations that vary between hostage situations, loot gathering, collectible hunting, drone obstacle courses, killing or interrogating men, and much more."
There is some decent variety in mission types but most come down to sneaking into a guarded location and taking down the man behind it all, or recovering important intel. Missions may garner a new piece of information that carries into the overarching story, but they're all practically the same. Though this is an open world game and you can go about each mission from different fronts, they all tend to be relatively the same substance. As long as you stay back and hidden, it should be pretty easy to finish most, but not all, missions. Luckily, it's impossible to quick scope in this game, so using stealth is a must if you decide to go in as a sniper and not guns blazing.
Anyway you decide to head into the mission, AI enemies are consistently dimwitted and only notice danger if it happens right in their faces. If you shoot someone next to another enemy or behind them, you're in the clear. AI's perception and focus of danger is stuck in a vortex of tunnel vision and unless they walk into a dead body, you'll likely clear many missions unscathed and unnoticed.
Sniper Ghost Warrior 3's extensive side missions can be a lot of fun. Spread generously throughout the open world, side missions include several Point of Interest locations that vary between hostage situations, loot gathering, collectible hunting, drone obstacle courses, killing or interrogating men, and much more. You'll often find many parts needed for weapon upgrades and bullet ingredients at these locations. Side missions are not very very long or more than a few minutes each — which is great and helps you to focus on the main story instead of getting swamped in huge side story arcs.
As in many games of this style, Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 has a small skill tree that allows you to upgrade your character's abilities. The skills tree consists of three categories: Sniper, Ghost and Warrior. Each skill allows you to upgrade Jon in those three classes from points gathered by accomplishing tasks. The Sniper category allows you to become a better sniper, Ghost for quick actions and stealth, and Warrior for added health perks and different rifle improvements. The skill tree isn't extensive and doesn't take much work to unlock many of the more important abilities it holds.
"Overall, Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 has some decent gameplay features in terms of customizing and building up your weapons, an open world where going about the mission is up to you, and a fun drone to pilot around. However, a bland story, bugs and glitches, and lazy design choices make Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 a rather bland experience at times."
For a game centered around realism and stealth, and becoming the master of invisibility, I went in expecting the physics and the world to be somewhat interactive. Jon has the ability to climb and shimmy his way around cliffs and buildings, but only if the game has a preset set piece for him to do so. If there's a rock in the way and it's only chest-high but not designed to be climbed on, Jon can either try and jump over or walk around it…which doesn't make much sense. Also, walking sounds the same everywhere, there is no distinction between walking effects in the game, be it dirt, mud, snow or bushes. There is no distinction of sound effects with anything except water — which is very, very minimal. But that won't be a big deal if you crouch-walk — you then become completely silent in any terrain which is a bit odd.
Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 also suffers from terrible pop-in effects that garner many of the important moments through the scope's point of view to be lackluster. Rendering is often slow and unsatisfying when you look up close through the scope.
I'll ignore the fact that Jon can drive around in his truck going forward and reverse without taking his hands off of the steering wheel and chalk that up to lazy development. But the game is riddled with bugs and glitches which I experienced more than my fair share throughout Sniper Ghost Warrior 3. Some moments, however, aren't even glitches or bugs but bad design choices or just plain laziness. For instance, I can sneak around in crouch mode (remember, Jon is dead silent in crouch mode no matter the terrain) and interrogate groups of enemies. As long as the others have their backs turned, I can literally have a conversation with one of my enemies and discuss his evil plans right in the middle of the fray through intimidation tactics. I'm not sure why moments such as these weren't fixed but it just makes for a mediocre experience that feels very lazily designed.
Overall, Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 has some decent gameplay features in terms of customizing and building up your weapons, an open world where going about the mission is up to you, and a fun drone to pilot around. However, a bland story, bugs and glitches, and lazy design choices make Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 a rather bland experience at times.
This game was reviewed on the PlayStation 4.
Selection of weapons is extensive, in-depth weapon customization, piloting the drone is a ton of dun, and a wide open world to explore.
Long load times, glitches and bugs, muddled control mechanics, bland AI and story, lazy design choices.
Overall, Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 has some awesome features for customizing and building up your weapons, a wide open world where going about the mission is up to you, and a fun drone to pilot around, but the bland story, bugs and glitches, and lazy design choices make this game nothing special.

Q: Moment JS start and end of given month I need to calculate a JS date given year=2014 and month=9 (September 2014).
I tried this:
var moment = require('moment');
var startDate = moment( year+'-'+month+'-'+01 + ' 00:00:00' );
            var endDate = startDate.endOf('month');
            console.log(startDate.toDate());
            console.log(endDate.toDate());

Both of logs show:
Tue Sep 30 2014 23:59:59 GMT+0200 (CEST)
Tue Sep 30 2014 23:59:59 GMT+0200 (CEST)

End date is correct but... why the start date is not?

A: Try the following code:
const moment=require('moment');
console.log("startDate=>",moment().startOf('month').format("YYYY-DD-MM"));
console.log("endDate=>",moment().endOf('month').format("YYYY-DD-MM"));

A: Don't really think there is some direct method to get the last day but you could do something like this:
var dateInst = new moment();
/**
 * adding 1 month from the present month and then subtracting 1 day,
 * So you would get the last day of this month
 */
dateInst.add(1, 'months').date(1).subtract(1, 'days');
/* printing the last day of this month's date */
console.log(dateInst.format('YYYY MM DD'));

A: you can use this directly for the end or start date of the month
new moment().startOf('month').format("YYYY-DD-MM");
new moment().endOf("month").format("YYYY-DD-MM");

you can change the format by defining a new format

A: That's because endOf mutates the original value.
Relevant quote:

Mutates the original moment by setting it to the end of a unit of time.

Here's an example function that gives you the output you want:
function getMonthDateRange(year, month) {
    var moment = require('moment');

    // month in moment is 0 based, so 9 is actually october, subtract 1 to compensate
    // array is 'year', 'month', 'day', etc
    var startDate = moment([year, month - 1]);

    // Clone the value before .endOf()
    var endDate = moment(startDate).endOf('month');

    // just for demonstration:
    console.log(startDate.toDate());
    console.log(endDate.toDate());

    // make sure to call toDate() for plain JavaScript date type
    return { start: startDate, end: endDate };
}

References:

*

*endOf()

*clone()

*Date from object

A: your startDate is first-day-of-month, In this case we can use
var endDate = moment(startDate).add(1, 'months').subtract(1, 'days');

Hope this helps!!

A: When you use .endOf() you are mutating the object it's called on, so startDate becomes Sep 30
You should use .clone() to make a copy of it instead of changing it
var startDate = moment(year + '-' + month + '-' + 01 + ' 00:00:00');
            var endDate = startDate.clone().endOf('month');
            console.log(startDate.toDate());
            console.log(endDate.toDate());

Mon Sep 01 2014 00:00:00 GMT+0700 (ICT)
Tue Sep 30 2014 23:59:59 GMT+0700 (ICT)

A: var d = new moment();
var startMonth = d.clone().startOf('month');
var endMonth = d.clone().endOf('month');
console.log(startMonth, endMonth);

doc

A:

const year = 2014;
const month = 09;

// months start at index 0 in momentjs, so we subtract 1
const startDate = moment([year, month - 1, 01]).format("YYYY-MM-DD");

// get the number of days for this month
const daysInMonth = moment(startDate).daysInMonth();

// we are adding the days in this month to the start date (minus the first day)
const endDate = moment(startDate).add(daysInMonth - 1, 'days').format("YYYY-MM-DD");

console.log(`start date: ${startDate}`);
console.log(`end date:   ${endDate}`);
<script
src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.20.1/moment.min.js">
</script>

A: const dates = getDatesFromDateRange("2014-05-02", "2018-05-12", "YYYY/MM/DD", 1);
console.log(dates);
// you get the whole from-to date ranges as per parameters
var onlyStartDates = dates.map(dateObj => dateObj["to"]);
console.log(onlyStartDates);
// moreover, if you want only from dates then you can grab by "map" function

function getDatesFromDateRange( startDate, endDate, format, counter ) {
    startDate = moment(startDate, format);
    endDate = moment(endDate, format);

    let dates = [];
    let fromDate = startDate.clone();
    let toDate = fromDate.clone().add(counter, "month").startOf("month").add(-1, "day");
    do {
        dates.push({
            "from": fromDate.format(format),
            "to": ( toDate < endDate ) ? toDate.format(format) : endDate.format(format)
        });
        fromDate = moment(toDate, format).add(1, "day").clone();
        toDate = fromDate.clone().add(counter, "month").startOf("month").add(-1, "day");
    } while ( fromDate < endDate );
    return dates;
}

Please note, .clone() is essential in momentjs else it'll override the value. It seems in your case.
It's more generic, to get bunch of dates that fall between dates.

A: Try the following code:
moment(startDate).startOf('months')
moment(startDate).endOf('months')

A: The following code should work:
$('#reportrange').daterangepicker({
                startDate: start,
                endDate: end,
                ranges: {
                    'Hoy': [moment(), moment()],
                    'Ayer': [moment().subtract(1, 'days'), moment().subtract(1, 'days')],
                    'Ultimos 7 dias': [moment().subtract(6, 'days'), moment()],
                    'Ultimos 30 dias': [moment().subtract(29, 'days'), moment()],
                    'Mes actual': [moment().startOf('month'), moment().endOf('month')],
                    'Ultimo mes': [moment().subtract(1, 'month').startOf('month'), moment().subtract(1, 'month').endOf('month')],
                    'Enero': [moment().month(0).startOf('month') , moment().month(0).endOf('month')],
                    'Febrero': [moment().month(1).startOf('month') , moment().month(1).endOf('month')],
                    'Marzo': [moment().month(2).startOf('month') , moment().month(2).endOf('month')],
                    'Abril': [moment().month(3).startOf('month') , moment().month(3).endOf('month')],
                    'Mayo': [moment().month(4).startOf('month') , moment().month(4).endOf('month')],
                    'Junio': [moment().month(5).startOf('month') , moment().month(5).endOf('month')],
                    'Julio': [moment().month(6).startOf('month') , moment().month(6).endOf('month')],
                    'Agosto': [moment().month(7).startOf('month') , moment().month(7).endOf('month')],
                    'Septiembre': [moment().month(8).startOf('month') , moment().month(8).endOf('month')],
                    'Octubre': [moment().month(9).startOf('month') , moment().month(9).endOf('month')],
                    'Noviembre': [moment().month(10).startOf('month') , moment().month(10).endOf('month')],
                    'Diciembre': [moment().month(11).startOf('month') , moment().month(11).endOf('month')]
                }
            }, cb);

A: Here is a concise & exact answer:
  // month in moment is 0 based, so 0 is actually january, subtract 1 to compensate.
  var startDate = moment([year, month - 1]).format()
  var endDate = moment(startDate).clone().endOf('month').format()

Example
let month = 1         // January
let year = 2021

var startDate = moment([year, month - 1]).format()

var endDate = moment(startDate).clone().endOf('month').format()

console.log(startDate)
//2021-01-01T00:00:00-07:00

console.log(endDate)
//2021-01-31T23:59:59-07:00

Where Are They Now? Chemic great Maura McAfee
Former hoops star helping people get back on their feet following illustrious college career
By Fred Kelly, Midland Daily News

Maura McAfee is undoubtedly one of the best female basketball players ever to come out of Midland High, an athlete so good that she not only helped the Chemics to the best stretch in program history but also went on to rewrite the Hope College recordbook. And these days, though she doesn't play much basketball anymore, she's still on the go whenever she has spare time.
It seems only fitting, then, that McAfee would devote herself to helping others do the very thing she enjoys so much — being active.
McAfee, a 2012 graduate of Midland High and a 2016 graduate of Hope College, recently earned her postgraduate degree in physical therapy from Belmont University in Nashville and has been assisting injured folks in getting back on their feet ever since.
"I just kind of like the personal aspect of it," McAfee, 26, said of being a physical therapist. "I'm getting to see people every day, and I really get to go with them on their journey as they're getting better. ... It's fun to take somebody who's been knocked out of what they like to do, whether that's sports or whatever, and help them get back to doing what they love to do.
"That's definitely the rewarding part of it," she added.
McAfee, who has been working and living in Greenville, S.C., since graduating from Belmont last August, said she made an intentional decision to relocate somewhere warm after living in Nashville for a while.
"I liked the warmer weather in Nashville, and I don't like snow. I looked around down here (in South Carolina) to see what jobs were available, and I ended up in Greenville," she said. " ... I knew I wanted to try somewhere new. Obviously, it's a lot different living down here. I lived in Michigan my whole life, and I just wanted to try something new.
"Nashville was a cool city, and that kind of got me started (thinking about living in the South)," she added. "I like that Greenville is a good-sized city. It's not huge like Nashville, but it's a good-sized city with a ton of things to do. There are a lot of outstanding trails and hiking and a minor league baseball team, and Clemson (University) is close by. There's a lot going on."

When she's not working, McAfee, who is single, said she likes to run, bike, and hike, among other outdoor activities, while also trying new restaurants in the Greenville area.
"That's something I really like to do," she said of checking out eateries, adding with a chuckle, "I found this really good pizza place. It's always important to find a good pizza place when you move someplace new. It's important to get that established right away."
Although she is not a fan of the cold, snowy Michigan winters, McAfee admitted that she sometimes misses home.
"It's the people (that I miss most). Michigan is where all my family and friends are. The hard part is being away from them," she said, adding with another chuckle, "And I'm sure that when the 100-degree weather hits here, I'll miss the mild Michigan weather."
During her formative years, McAfee was a big part of Midland High's transformation from perpetual Saginaw Valley League cellar dweller to a local and state power. During her four-year varsity career, the Chemics compiled an impressive 80-12 record, won two district championships (after having won only one district title previously in program history), claimed the first two SVL crowns in program history, and also won the first regional championship in program history.
McAfee was named to the Daily News Dream Team in 2011 after helping the Chemics earn the aforementioned regional title and compile a program-record 22 wins during her junior campaign. The following year, she was named to the Dream Team again after finishing with career highs in every statistical category — 13.4 points, 10.9 rebounds, 2.9 steals, 2.3 blocks, and 2.2 assists per game.
Asked about how it felt to be part of building a winning tradition, McAfee replied, "It definitely meant a lot. Very few people get the opportunity to really turn a program around like that. We had a great group of people and a great coach. We all bought into the mentality of turning it around, and that group mentality made it really enjoyable."
In addition to winning a regional championship, McAfee's favorite memories from high school ball involved victories over long-time rivals.
"My freshman year we beat Dow at their place, and that was a really exciting and emotional game. It was definitely an upset at that time," she recalled. "And then the year after that we beat Arthur Hill for the first time in I don't know how long, and that was a lot of fun."
McAfee said that playing for longtime Chemics' coach Elaine Mahabir was a "great" experience.
"She's definitely a players' coach, and she was always willing to take input on what we were seeing out there. She was very easy to get along with," McAfee noted. "She was funny and personable, and she made it fun to go to practice every day. She just made the whole experience better."
McAfee was even better at the collegiate level, helping the Flying Dutch to an astounding 108-10 record, three Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) championships, and four NCAA Division III Tournament berths, including a spot in the 2013 Elite Eight during her freshman season.
Along the way, she was named MIAA Most Valuable Player in both 2014 and 2016, while also earning Fourth Team All-America honors in 2014 and First Team All-America accolades in 2016.
McAfee is among Hope's all-time leaders in numerous career categories, including scoring (1,409 points, third), field goals made (567, second), free throws made (268, tied for third), rebounds (1,047, first), blocks (187, second), and steals (222, tied for third).
"It just comes down to people," she said of her experience with the Flying Dutch. "We had great people at Hope. My coaches were great, and my teammates were all great, and I still am friends with a lot of people that I played with there. The relationships we made were just a lot of fun.
"The season can be a grind sometimes, so having those people there to fall back on was the best part."
McAfee said she doesn't play much competitive basketball anymore, but she still likes to work on her shooting touch at least now and then.
"Every once in a while, I'll find a hoop and get some shots up and keep everything in tune and make sure I've still got it," she said.
McAfee said she came home to Michigan to visit in March shortly before the coronavirus crisis hit full stride. She said she is hoping to get back home again this summer, circumstances permitting, and is "playing it by ear right now."
Asked what she envisions herself doing five years from now, McAfee said she has no concrete plans.
"I'm still trying to figure out if I want to stay here or go back to Michigan or try someplace new," she noted. "Different opportunities might present themselves. I'll keep my options open and see what happens next."

The Battle of Gettysburg involved the largest number of casualties of the entire Civil war and is often described as the war's turning point. Between 46,000 and 51,000 soldiers lost their lives during the three-day Battle. To honor the fallen soldiers, President Abraham Lincoln read his historic Gettysburg Address and helped those listening by redefining the purpose of the war.
1867 · The Burtis Opera House
The Burtis Opera House opened in Davenport and could easily hold an audience of 1,600. It was a widely used facility and Mark Twain filled the house when he spoke on tour in 1869. It was also used to house Susan B. Anthony when she lectured on the woman's right to vote. The Quad City Symphony Orchestra played its first concert as the new Tri-City Symphony in the Opera House. An arsonist set fire to the building on the evening of April 26, 1921, and the building was severely destroyed. The building was rebuilt but was no longer used as an opera house.

Q: Is there an analogue of the universal cover for higher homotopy groups? The universal cover $U$ of a topological space $X$ is a simply-connected covering space of $X$. As the 'universal' moniker implies, this space is universal in the category of covering spaces of $X$ (and thus is unique up to homeomorphism), and pleasantly, there's a free and faithful group action of $\pi_1(X)$ on $U$ with the orbit space $U/\pi_1(X) \cong X$.
Question: is there a higher-dimensional analogue of a space with some or all of these properties? Clearly a cover won't suffice, but does every space have, say, a fiber bundle over it that's $n$-connected (I feel as though this is the proper generalization rather than trivial $\pi_n$, for whatever reason) and, more importantly (to me), is universal in some sense? Do we have an analogue of the group action we had for our universal cover? If so, what other pleasant properties of the universal cover transer to this generalization?
EDIT: To be clear, this is what I want.

*

*For each $n$, a map $U_n(X): \textbf{Top} \rightarrow \textbf{Top}$ such that...

*$U_1(X) = \tilde X$, the universal cover of $X$

*$U_n(X)=X$ if $X$ is $n$-connected.

*$U_n(X)$ is universal in some appropriate setting.

*I'm not sure fibrations are the right tool for this, but I'd like $U_n(X)$ to fiber over $X$. I'm pretty sure this gives us functoriality of $U_n$, but I didn't work out the details.

I perhaps emphasized too much the group action; it'd be neat if an analogue existed for $U_n$, but I have no pretense that there should be.

A: I don't know whether the following qualifies but hopefully it is helpful. (EDIT: after the OP clarified their question, it appears this answer does not qualify, but I've chosen to leave the answer here anyway in case someone gains something from it.)
Every based space $(B,\ast)$ fits into a fibration sequence $\Omega B\to PB\stackrel{p}{\to} B$ where $PB$ is the space of paths $\gamma\colon [0,1]\to B$ with $\gamma(0)=\ast$ and $\Omega B$ is the space of loops in $B$ based at $\ast$. We give these spaces the compact-open topology. The map $p$ is given by sending a path $\gamma$ to its endpoint $\gamma(1)$. The space $PB$ is contractible by simply shrinking all paths to the constant path at $\ast$.
By the induced long exact sequence in homotopy, we get the corollary $\pi_n(\Omega B)\cong\pi_{n+1}(B)$ for all $n\geq 0$.
Does the space $PB$ fit your idea for a 'universal' bundle (not to be confused with this) over $B$? Note that $p$ is not always locally trivial and so isn't a bundle in general, but is certainly a fibration.

A: This question has a nice answer on MO: this answer by Reid Barton, as mentioned by Bruno Stonek in the comments.
The Whitehead tower has most of the properties I was looking for, too; thanks to Piotr Pstrągowski for mentioning this in the comments as well.

Low earnings growth bitter pill for Aspen
DURBAN – JSE-listed Aspen Pharmacare's share price shed more than 29 percent on the bourse on the back of low earnings growth reported in the six-month period to end December.
The global multinational speciality pharmaceutical company released its results after the close of markets on Thursday, and as the market digested the results, the share price dived to R70 a share on Friday morning, down from Thursday's closing price of R141.15.
However, the stock recovered in the afternoon to trade at around R99.91 and closed the day at R100.66.
Nishlen Govender, a portfolio manager at Citadel, said Aspen's share price had been trending downwards for some time now and saw a massive share price depreciation in 2018 as the stock fell 50 percent.
ASPEN'S share price has been trending downwards for some time now, says Citadel portfolio manager Nishlen Govender. Photo: Bloomberg
"The reason was the fact that Aspen was moving further away from their generic pharmaceutical business into a specialised provider across key products. This strategy entailed buying drugs from global manufactures, which is effectively an acquisitive growth strategy.
"The issue with this is trying to develop organic growth to allow the company to harness returns, which justified the multiples paid for them. One could argue that Aspen was too aggressive in their acquisition approach and thus levered their balance sheet significantly.
"This has been a key issue for the market as the company faces debt covenants, as it expects its net debt to earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (Ebitda) to increase to 4.4x. The business does expect this to reduce to less than 3x in time as capital expenditures reduce."
Govender said the key issue currently was the fact that the sale of an infant formula business had been delayed to May, which was due to be sold to Lactalis, a French company.
"The cash from this sale is crucial as it will provide 635 million (R10.28 billion) of funding that will be used to retire debt," Govender said.
Aspen deputy chief executive Gus Attridge admitted that the group had high debt levels.
"We are quite aware of the debt and we are working hard on reducing it. We have spent significantly in the past by expanding the business on new investments. However, the expected sale of the Nutritionals business is nearing completion, which will enable us to put all our focus on pharmaceuticals. We are going to use the proceeds of that sale of around R10bn to reduce debt," Attridge said.
However, Govender said in the interim other operations must step in to fund debt on the balance sheet, but this had been slow with supply constraints in key areas such as anaesthetics, while the manufacturing business was down 10 percent.
"These places further pressure on the balance sheet, which may require equity funding if covenants are breached. The balance sheet issues are significantly hampering the markets near term view hence the share price pressure. The market has taken the delay of the infant formula sale particularly badly."

I have this discussion with clients all the time.. " Why should we have a blog? ".
It's a good question and most customers eyes glaze over.
I don't have the time.. We don't want to give away our company secrets..Our policy is not to use or allow Social Media… I don't have anything to write about.
Well there are 7 Good Reasons to start Blogging.
It helps your SEO (Search Engine Optimization) as Google loves new content!
You can engage and understand your customers better.
Great new content gives people a reason to keep coming back to your site.
Blogs are a much more trusted source than companies press releases and official company PR.
It moves customers to a conversion point where enough trust is created for people to take the next step and buy.
By writing you are learning.
Note: Most importantly it helps you improve your rank on search engines and assists in getting found, when people enter those important key words in Google.
So if you are going to start a blog what functions and features should a blog include?
It is better to use a minimalist format ( keep it simple) and preferably a 2 column template design. Host it on your website domain (do not use a wordpress or typepad domain as you want to improve your own website's domain SEO not Typepads, Tumblr or WordPress.com and have control over the site.
Note: Providing these functions allows people to post your company's blog onto sites that have millions of visits every month, also register your Blog with Technorati ( The Blog "Bible" and registry and search site) they have over 5 million visitors a month).
As Google's search alogorithms are in constant evolution with recency and new unique content becoming an important part of the mix, Blogging is something that your company should not ignore.
So do you think your company should be blogging?

Kim Hyun Joong (born June 6, 1986) is a South Korean actor and singer. He is a leader of popular boyband SS501 and a prominent style icon in Korea, winning multiple icon awards. Kim gained widespread popularity beyond Asia for his role as Yoon Ji Hoo in the 2009 smash hit drama series Boys Over Flowers.
Kim Hyun Joong debuted as the leader of SS501 in 2005. They also appeared in MNet's "Idol World" in 2007, which showed SS501 doing various missions in Japan.
He joined the cast of MBC variety reality show We Got Married on May 11, 2008, with Hwang Bo, who is 6 years his senior. They achieved high popularity acting as a newlywed couple. Due to his appearance on We Got Married, he was cast in the Korean version of Hana Yori Dango as one of the members of the famous F4. Known as the "Lettuce Couple", Kim Hyun Joong and Hwang Bo went on to win MBC's Best Couple Award. The couple made their official exit from We Got Married on December 14, 2008 due to scheduling conflicts presented by Boys Over Flowers.
In the hit drama series, Boys Over Flowers, he plays Yoon Ji Hoo. The series was a huge media and ratings sensation in Korea during its run from January to March 2009, garnering a huge amount of popularity for the entertainer. The series was not only a hit in Korea, but all around Asia as well. This includes Taiwan and the Southeast Asian countries of Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines amongst others as well as in Japan and in North America were it was released on DVD with English subtitles.
Not long after him and SS501 members released their album "SS501 Collection," where they each sang a solo song, along with being featured in their mini drama music video.
Their Asia Concert Tour began in mid-August 2009 in Seoul at the Olympic Park. They continued their tour in Shanghai, Taipei, Bangkok before returning to returning to Seoul for a closing encore concert. They staged two concerts for the encore closure on the 27th Feb and 28th Feb 2010 respectively.
On September 2009, during promotions in Japan for Boys Over Flowers, Kim Hyun Joong was diagnosed with H1N1.While recovering from H1N1, Kim Hyun Joong could not attend Seoul's International Drama Awards.
