GIS 
 The Geographic Information Sciences include many fields of knowledge that help to understand geographic information while a Geographic Information System is a system designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present all types of spatial or geographical data and allow for the study of "layers" of geographic information.
GIS 
 GIS also known as geographic information system is a computer system made for capturing and displaying positions on the earth’s surface and portraying data in many different ways on maps.
GIS 
 For example a map could use GIS to find out the amount of rubbish in one area, and also include how many factories and types of factories are in that area.
GIS 
 GIS can store information about a location and help provide knowledge on many different topics in a location.
GIS 
 Then GIS can provide information about the people in that area including: income, population and education levels.
GIS 
 It can also tell about physical things such as soil types, vegetation, water sources, manmade structures like buildings and roads.

East Germany at the Olympics 
 They won many Olympic and world gold medals but many athletes failed doping tests or were believed to be taking performance enhancing drugs.

 In many cases where doping was believed to happen, no proof was found so most of records and medals won by East German athletes still stand.
East Germany at the Olympics 
 The government did a lot of work to find and train athletes and coaches that they believed would do very well.
