Was not having this issue with iLoL but now that they are using the Riot mac client my keyboard will stop working all of a sudden in the middle of the game for 10-15 secs then start working again. I cannot use my Naga Hex because the keybindings on the mouse stop working as well because the keyboard stops working. It's a pretty annoying bug that has existed since the mac client first came out.
If you can reproduce this bug in the official client without the iLoL wrapper, I'd love to help. I saw plenty of people having this issue with iLoL over the past year, and didn't find any solutions mentioned.
Ok I just installed the official client and it's doing the same thing. I have a two monitor setup and basically my second monitor will start to flicker and that's when it kills my keyb input. After 15 or so secs the flickering stops and I regain input.

I get this issue as well with my keyboard. I believe it to be a defect in the keyboard/macbook around the way USB devices are powered. It may be possible to fix this by getting a USB hub with an external power source. However, I do not believe it to be a bug with LoL specifically as I get it using pretty much any application.

Fine Line Clock
By: USArtQuest
Draw different designs onto clock pieces with a fine line calligraphy pen. You would never guess this elegant clock is made out of cardboard.
- Fine Liner Calligraphy Pen
- Duo Adhesive
- Jewelz Sparkling Mica Pigments
- Perfect Paper Adhesive- Matte
- Krylon Pen- Copper
- Cardstock
- Cardboard
- Clock Parts
- Perfect Pigment Acrylic Paint
- Great Tape
1. Fill Fine Liner Calligraphy Pen with Duo Adhesive. Draw four different patterns onto four different pieces of cardstock. Let dry.
2. Apply Jewelz Sparkling Mica Pigments to tacky areas using a detail brush. Remove excess using a soft brush. Outline cards in Krylon Pen- Copper.
3. Create a clock pattern. Cut out clock using cardboard. Assemble clock using Perfect Paper Adhesive. Paint clock with Mars Black - Perfect Pigment Acrylic Paint.
4. Attach the four cards that you drew using Great Tape to the sides of the clock. Draw on the roof of the clock using the Fine Liner and Duo Adhesive. Let dry and repeat step 2.
5. Edge the side of the clock using a copper Krylon Leafing Pen.
6. Attach clock parts by punching a hole in the center of the front.
******TIPS: Make sure that you always clean your Fine Liner immediately after using. Blow into the pen to remove any excess water or adhesive. Repeat until opening is clear. If it sets in water for to long, Duo Adhesive will clog the opening of the pen.

Need idea for how to do DIV
I have created my own jeopardy game in which there is a game board and a "scoreboard" at the top. On the board there are categories and underneath the point values(I think that's pretty self-explaining). Anyway, the point values are actually links and when you click on them it changes the point value to the question in the same table cell. When you click it again it gives the answer and when you click on the answer I want it to display a div layer that i can have yes and no buttons on. I want it to say "did team A answer the question?" have yes & no buttons and then if you clicked yes for it to ask if team A got it right or not. I want to repeat this with each Team. Sorry if this doesn't make a lot of sense it's hard to put to words...if I need to I can attach the html document for you to look at
Any help is greatly appreciatedLast edited by wildcard; 10-05-2003 at 12:12 AM.

I have something similar:


text:
I like the screenplay in general. The concept was good but the execution a bit flawed.
I don't understand Cooper's reaction after Jess has left. She bought an open ended ticket with no return date. That pretty much cancels out the relationship right there. Yes, he was going to propose and even drove her to the airport, but after month away with her not answering his calls wouldn't that have been some kind of hint?
Then he gets together with Ally in a new capacity beyond friendship which was interesting. I was waiting to see where (if anywhere) the relationship went. Even after Craig spells out that Ally is off limits to him and his job (and maybe life) is in jeopardy he does it anyway. Yes, he was drunk (they both were) but after the first time I did understand Cooper was on the rebound. But why (as a supposed adult) let it get out of hand?
Then Jess comes back AFTER pretty much telling Coop she wouldn't be back at all. She then proceeds to throw a fit over Cooper trying to move on. She wasn't coming back but she expected him to be faithful to her while she was gone? That's an aspect that may need a little work.
Finally I found it odd that Cooper would beg Ally for sex, that part seemed a little weird to me. Then the scene at the driveway Ally seemed to have summed up Coop's personality calling him a big kid and suggesting he go that to Jess, which he then tried to do. I'm glad the ending with Jess and Coop worked out as it did. That was the only finish I could see to that relationship.
Overall a good attempt that needs some work.

DescriptionAfter recognizing her great-grandmother's picture on the wall of a restored bordello-turned-visitor center, Tessa Steele sets out to track down exactly how Hallie became one of Miss Fanny's 'ladies'. Threatening phone calls and letters warning her that Nosy little girls get into trouble become the least of her worries when she meets Sgt. Dale McCord, a state police officer investigating a series of so-called 'hauntings' at Miss Fanny's. Caught between her own curiosity about Miss Fanny's and Dale's disapproval, she goes ahead with her research. Each time she uncovers a new piece of information, she faces an even more sinister threat as well as Dale's unexplained anger. She's as determined to learn the truth as someone is to stop her. And Dale is determined to keep her alive--if he can.

Category: popular girls names
Just like Oz, Nameberry has a Wizard: Our engineer and partner Hugh Hunter. One of the wonderful things Hugh can do, besides creating the digital structure of the site and keeping it running, is to produce lists of names that meet certain statistical criteria: Names whose popularity peaked in 1937, for instance, or names never searched on Nameberry (hmmmmmm).
So when we recently asked Hugh if he could generate a list of names that had reentered the U.S. Top 1000 in 2011 — names that had been on the list before, dropped off, and now had reappeared — the answer was of course. What we didn't know was how interesting that list would be.
It's easy to confuse popularity with stylishness. Many baby names feel "popular" when they're merely stylish: We're hearing them a lot, they're in step with the baby name fashions, and we worry that if we choose them, our little Matilda is going to be one of many.
And perhaps if you live in some edgy, baby-centric enclave – Park Slope, Brooklyn, say, or Bernal Heights in San Francisco – that will be true. But for the most part, the numbers tell a different story, with many of the most stylish names used by very few parents.
One note: Names can be popular and stylish, so many of those in the popular column also qualify as stylish.
Looking just at girls' names today, here's a statistics-based reality check on what's stylish vs. what's truly popular. (Numbers in parentheses represent how many babies were given that name in the most recent U.S. count.)
Allegra (114) is stylish, though Arianna (4,797) is popular
Aurelia (209) is stylish, but Amelia (5,417) is popular
Azalea (164) is stylish while Violet (2,531) is popular
Beatrix (123) is stylish while Alexa (5,012) is popular
Blake (240) is stylish, while Payton (3,561) is popular
Carter (158) is stylish while Kennedy (2,803) is popular
You may know Nameberry's most popular girls' names 2011: from Top 3 Charlotte, Violet, and Amelia down to Molly, Maya, and Mary.
You may even know our hottest girls' names 2011, which include such celebrity-influenced picks as Pippa and Mila.
But we've got a quieter, less obvious, but potentially more interesting list for you: those girls' names that don't make the Top 100 but that are attracting a dramatic rise in interest this summer over last.
Some of the names here bear a relationship to those on the most popular list: Aveline instead of Adeline, for instance, or Indigo rather than Scarlett, or Clover as opposed to Ivy or Poppy. While not all of these names are destined for future popularity, the baby namer in search of a name that will feel as fresh in ten years as it does today should take heed.
Our list of secretly popular girls' names 2011 (look for the boys' list next week):
Have you noticed the sudden pop in popularity of girls' names starting with the happy-go-lucky syllable 'Ha'—some on them shamelessly stolen from the boys? Caught in the spotlight by two recent high-profile starbabies, Harper Seven Beckham and Jessica Alba's Haven Warren, this is among the baby name trends that seem to be spreading like wildfire both inside and outside the celebrity sphere.
So it's ta-ta to Haley, Hayley, Hailee, Hailey and Hallie—and hello to:
Harper. Originally a Scottish family name, this is the biggest hit of all, now Number 119 on the girls' list, after just arriving in 2004, and jumping more than fifty places in the last year. It was inspired at least in part by America's romance with the much-loved classic novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper (born Nelle) Lee, the book that has also propelled the name Atticus for boys. Harper's cred was then reinforced by the character of Harper Finkle on The Wizards of Waverly Place, introduced in 2007 and to a lesser extent by a more minor one in Gossip Girl. Though Harper is still used for boys, most of the many recent starbaby Harpers—from Lisa Marie Presley's to Neil Patrick Harris's, have been girls. Trivia note: During fashionista Posh Beckham's pregnancy, there were some snide rumors that her future daughter's possible name was inspired by Harper's Bazaar magazine.
This week, Nameberry Style columnist Elisabeth Wilborn, of You Can't Call It It and The Itsy Factor, waves her magic wand over the girls' top 100 list and transforms overly-popular names with chic new alternatives.
The list of top girls' names is brimming with gorgeousness. After all, the top girls' names got that way because people love them.
But if you seek a more rare, chic alternative for your little one, play this game with me. Ask yourself, is it the sound that makes you fall in love with a name? Is it the fact that it honors your heritage? Perhaps it's the meaning? Whatever the names' deepest appeal, there may be another, less popular option that will satisfy you.
I had fun with this list, maybe even more so than with the boys' names because there are just so many viable options to choose from.
How would you amp up the style of the girls' names from the top of the chart, and are there any that you're too in love with to change?
1) Isabella–>Mirabella
2) Sophia–>Louisa
3) Emma–>Alice
4) Olivia–>Ottilie
5) Ava–>Rita
6) Emily–>Cecily
7) Abigail–>Tabitha

Data Exposed In Stratfor Compromise Analyzed
Re:A new way to mitigate credit card fraud (141 comments)
If they stored CVV, they'd be in a hell of a lot of trouble. PCI compliance requires not storing the CVV. However, as stated earlier, a lot of places don't require CVV. *None* of the cards should have CVV stored, so there's no real difference between expired and unexpired.

Wait, NA teams don't have coaches?.... srsly?
Senior Member
Okay here is the thing that most people either don't know, or don't seem to remember. Azubu Frost and Azubu blaze only play against each other. HOWEVER, that has only been since the formed Blaze. Before that they were MiG. And on that team was Locodoco. Who was one of the original (or maybe one of the first in their revolving roster at the time) players for TSM. When Frost formed, they played a great deal with TSM, and have had very few roster changes since then. So while TSM had never faced Blaze, they have faced, and know Frost. This is the BIGGEST difference. As others have mentioned, they are also the hardest working NA team. I mean look at Dignitas. They looked like they didn't even care and have for months. They troll, they make bad decisions, and just got lucky beating CLG in regionas. CLG is also the most arrogant of the teams, and tend to choke hard because they are really, really overrated. Am I saying TSM is going to win. I don't know. But to say they have zero chance is ridiculous. They have the best chance of any NA team to do so. And I hope they can.
Junior Member
lol i heard that azubu has more than 20 analysts crazy
I think they still have 20% chance to win.. when General and Regi play well. TSM can really destroy Forst
Hope TSM beats Azubu just so they get to play M5, and then M5 will **** on them like they always have.
Thanks for letting us know. kbye.
keep on signing up guys, I will enjoy ur tears tomorrow, when the dreams of TSM fanboys will be crushed.
Lol, look at all the tsm fangirls, There gonna get dropped

Simplifying Rational Functions with Factoring and GCFs - Problem 14
531 views
A complex fraction, also called a double fraction, is two or more fractions stacked inside each other. To make things even uglier, here we have a sum or difference of fractions embedded in a complex fraction. You could find common denominators a few times and multiply by reciprocals, but here we look at a shortcut for "clearing" the denominators: multiply top and bottom by the least common denominator of all fractions. This is mathematically valid because you're really just multiplying by a clever form of one, but the fractions will turn into integers.

The Web Is Dead? A Debate
- |
- 9:00 am |
- Permalink
Round Three:
O'Reilly to Anderson: "But typically when one market closes, the market that later opens is a different one." I totally agree that what comes after is different. And it's already pretty clear that what comes after the web is mobile apps. But my point is that those mobile apps are really an evolution of what's already been happening. If you focus on the fact that the most interesting apps are *connected* apps, and that the dynamics of network economies are still in play, you see this less as a replacement and more as an evolution. "What the cycle you describe suggests is that the new open marketplaces (or 'rapids' in your marketplace river) that will emerge will take the form of something other than what we now think of as the Web." Actually, in my analogy, the rapids are the periods of marketplace transformation. The long placid stretches of the river are where people get comfortable. "So the Web as a cultural phenomena is as strong as ever, but the Web as a business phenomena (at least as far as content goes) may have reached its limits." Again, I have to disagree. You're putting a boundary (web vs non-web) where one doesn't exist. It's all Internet. Advertising business models have always only been a small part of the picture, and have gotten way too much attention. Amazon has never been an advertising play. Neither has ebay, Orbitz or Travelocity, or any of the millions of direct to consumer e-commerce websites, except to the extent that those sites are themselves advertisements. We don't make money at oreilly.com from advertising, but we do advertise our products via our own content – most of our conference attendees and a great proportion of our book sales are driven by the content we publish. And now with ebooks and mobile apps, we have enormous opportunities to drive our ecommerce to new heights, because we're able to sell our content to people around the world who were out of reach of our print distribution or in-person conferences. And social media is making the network ever more powerful as a way of selling stuff to people who want it. Subscription businesses like Netflix or our own Safari Books Online are a variant on the e-commerce model, a variant that has been extraordinarily successful, and now becoming even more so. Paypal, Skype, and others like them show still other ways to make money on the net. Now, the app ecosystems on mobile are giving us yet more ways for developers to come up with creative ideas that are good enough that people are willing to pay for them. So I say, developers are finding MORE ways to get paid, and getting over the idea that somehow advertising was going to be this magic fairy dust, and you think this is a bad thing? I'm delighted that the Internet economy is getting richer and more complex. It's called maturity. So I'll agree that the web is dead if you will agree that a child is dead once he or she becomes an adult. But frankly, I don't see it that way. The child lives on, but changes as he or she grows older. I'm really excited about the maturation of the internet economy. I wrote about this back in 1995, in a paper called "Publishing Models for Internet Commerce" in which I celebrate the rich ecological diversity of publishing business models as something for the internet to aspire to:
"Here is a… global information marketplace with low barriers to entry, participation by millions of players, and a variety of coexisting economic models, ranging from free information supported by advertisers or other sponsors, subscriptions, and "by the glass" (or at least the bottle) information purchase. This market is further distinguished by a distinct lack of vertical integration: that is, the creation of intellectual property, manufacturing, sales and marketing, and distribution tend to be handled by separate entities, creating a rich ecology of entrepreneurial niches for both large and small players. Finally, the "editorial act"–the creation of products and brand identities that stand out from a sea of information based on distinctive points of view–will be a key to the development of future information services on the Internet." So yes, many of the startups who once thought they might see gold in the advertising economy now are pursuing the paid app economy. Some of them will succeed. Most of them will fail. P.S. I do want to talk about the machine-to-machine web. It's already a huge part of what's happening. But I'll save that for a separate message. |
Anderson to O'Reilly: "So I'll agree that the web is dead if you will agree that a child is dead once he or she becomes an adult. But frankly, I don't see it that way. The child lives on, but changes as he or she grows older." Well, yes. Exactly. The Web—that is, the commercial information Web, with the hopes of all digital businesses pinned on it—turned out to be an adolescent phase of the Internet. It is not the end state of the digital revolution. Instead, it is just now seen properly as just one app among many that use the underlying transport of the Internet. Not necessarily the most important, and certainly not the model whose gravitational pull would defeat all others. Or, as our headline has it, "The Web Is Dead. Long Live The Internet." I am delighted to hear that you not only agree with this, but have seen it coming for a long time. But there are many Web triumphalists who still believe that there is only One True Way, and will fight to the death to preserve the open, searchable common platform that the Web represented for most of its first two decades (before Apple and Facebook, to name two, decided that there were Other Ways). Perhaps some will be surprised to hear that you, as the father of Web 2.0, meant "Web" differently than they thought. That you actually meant something closer to "Internet". If I'm reading you right, you believe that those characteristics that define "Web" for most people—HTML, browsers, http:, port: 80, etc.—are not actually that important. Even the uber-characteristic—openness—is also not necessary. Desirable, to be sure, but often lost in the cycles between consolidation and innovation that we spoke about earlier. If so, we are in the awkward position of violently agreeing. We should have invited Cory Doctorow to debate us both For the sake of spirited debate, I can only hope that John Battelle emerges from his weekend parties loaded for bear and scolds us both for our heresies. |

Parallel Programming with OpenMP
OpenMP Hands On
To use OpenMP in your own programs, you need a computer with more than one CPU, or a multi-core CPU and an OpenMP-capable compiler. GNU compilers later than version 4.2 support OpenMP. Also, the Sun compiler for Linux is free [2], and the Intel Compiler is free for non-commercial use [3].
Listing 5 shows an OpenMP version of the classic Hello World program. To enable OpenMP, set -fopenmp when launching GCC. Listing 8 shows the commands for building the program along with the output.
Listing 5
Hello, World
01 /* helloworld.c (OpenMP Version) */ 02 # 03 #ifdef _OPENMP 04 #include <omp.h> 05 #endif 06 #include <stdio.h> 07 int main(void) 08 { 09 int i; 10 #pragma omp parallel for 11 for (i = 0; i < 4; ++i) 12 { 13 int id = omp_get_thread_num(); 14 printf("Hello, World from thread %d\n", id); 15 if (id==0) 16 printf("There are %d threads\n", omp_get_num_threads()); 17 } 18 return 0; 19 }
Listing 8
Building Hello World
$ gcc -Wall -fopenmp helloworld.c $ export OMP_NUM_THREADS=4 [...] $ ./a.out Hello World from thread 3 Hello World from thread 0 Hello World from thread 1 Hello World from thread 2 There are 4 threads
If you are using the Sun compiler, the compiler option is -xopenmp. With the Intel compiler, the option is -openmp. The Intel compiler even notifies the programmer if something has been parallelized (Listing 9).
Listing 9
01 $ icc -openmp helloworld.c 02 helloworld.c(8): (col. 1) remark: 03 OpenMP DEFINED LOOP WAS PARALLELIZED.
For an example of a performance boost with OpenMP, I'll look at a test that calculates pi [4] with the use of Gregory Leibniz's formula (Listing 7 and Figure 5). This method is by no means the most efficient for calculating pi; however, the goal here is not to be efficient but to get the CPUs to work hard.
Listing 7
Calculating Pi
01 /* pi-openmp.c (OpenMP version) */ 02 # 03 #include <stdio.h> 04 #define STEPCOUNTER 1000000000 05 int main(int argc, char *argv[]) 06 { 07 long i; 08 double pi = 0; 09 #pragma omp parallel for reduction(+: pi) 10 for (i = 0; i < STEPCOUNTER; i++) { 11 /* pi/4 = 1/1 - 1/3 + 1/5 - 1/7 + ... 12 To avoid the need to continually change 13 the sign (s=1; in each step s=s*-1), 14 we add two elements at the same time. */ 15 pi += 1.0/(i*4.0 + 1.0); 16 pi -= 1.0/(i*4.0 + 3.0); 17 } 18 pi = pi * 4.0; 19 printf("Pi = %lf\n", pi); 20 return 0; 21 }
Parallelizing the for() loop with OpenMP does optimize performance (Listing 6). The program runs twice as fast with two CPUs than with one, in that more or less the whole calculation can be parallelized.
Listing 6
Parallel Pi
$ gcc -Wall -fopenmp -o pi-openmp pi-openmp.c $ export OMP_NUM_THREADS=1 ; time ./pi-openmp Pi = 3.141593 real 0m31.435s user 0m31.430s sys 0m0.004s $ export OMP_NUM_THREADS=2 ; time ./pi-openmp Pi = 3.141593 real 0m15.792s user 0m31.414s sys 0m0.012s
If you monitor the program with the top tool, you will see that the two CPUs really are working hard and that the pi-openmp program really does use 200 percent CPU power.
This effect will not be quite as pronounced for some problems, in which case, you might need to resort to serial execution for a large proportion of the program. Of course, your two CPUs will not be a big help in such a case, and the performance boost will be less significant. Amdahl's Law [5] (see the "Amdahl's Law" box for an explanation) applies here.
Amdahl's Law
"Speedup" describes the factor by which a program can be accelerated with parallelization. In an ideal case, program execution with N processors would take just 1/N of the time required by a serial program. This ideal case is known as linear speedup. In the real world, linear speedup often is impossible to achieve because some parts of a program do not particularly lend themselves to parallelization.
Given a part of a program that supports parallelization, P (thus, 1 – P is the non-parallelizable part), and the number of processors available, N, the maximum speedup is calculated by the formula in Figure 6.
If the serial part of the program (1-P) is 1/4, the speedup cannot be greater than 4 – no matter how many processors you use.
Symmetric multi-processor system. All of the machine's CPUs can access the shared main memory – in contrast to cluster systems, in which separate machines exchange data over the wire. OpenMP is suitable for parallel programming on SMP systems.
One popular definition of thread is a "lightweight process." A Unix process has a separate memory area and various resources are assigned to it – such as environmental variables, network connections, or device access. A thread shares memory and certain other resources with other threads in a process. This reduces the management overhead compared with processes, and facilitates switching between threads. Pressing Shift+H in the top tool enables and disables the thread display.

Puna Customers Still Without Power
Thursday, August 21, 2014
(Big Island, HI) -- The lights are coming back on for hundreds of Puna residents still in the dark from Tropical Storm Iselle. Hawaii Electric Light officials say power was restored to about 300 customers Monday. An estimated 12-hundred customers remain without power since Iselle made landfall on the island on August 8th. HELCO officials say big progress was made for residents in who live Hawaiian Beaches and Hawaiian Paradise Park.

.- According to a recent poll conducted by the Marist Institute for the Knights of Columbus, young Americans are increasingly doubting the nation's ethical standards in business as well as the government's ability to handle the economy.
"A year into the Obama administration, we find that Americans – and younger Americans – are having a crisis of confidence," said Carl Anderson, CEO of the Knights of Columbus, on Thursday.
The poll found that American adults and Millennials (those between 18 and 29) are worried about their careers in this economy, opposed government regulation and business greed, and even felt that the country is headed in the wrong direction morally.
"People are increasingly pessimistic about the government's ability to handle the economic crisis and a majority believes that increased government regulation will hurt the economy," said Anderson.
According to the poll, 59 percent of American adults and 55 percent of Millennials doubted the government's ability to handle the economic crisis. The poll also found that 55 percent of American adults want a free market approach and oppose greater government regulation and 53 percent of Millennials agree.
On the issue of the moral status of the nation, 67 percent of American adults and 60 percent of Millennials believe the country is headed in the wrong direction. Fifty-five percent of both American adults and Millennials also worry that the current economic situation will have a long term impact on their careers.
Anderson also commented on the findings related to ethics, stating, "most Americans are unhappy with the ethical environment in business. They want less greed, and the same core values that govern an executive's personal life to also govern business decisions. In other words, Americans neither want sleight of hand on Wall Street or a heavy hand from Washington, and these attitudes are shared by America's young adults."
The Marist Institute poll was part of the larger Knights of Columbus' Moral Compass Project which is a series of surveys on the ethical attitudes of Americans.

SI Yankees Start Season Slow, But Manage Series Split with Brooklyn
The Staten Island Yankees lost their season opener to the Brooklyn Cyclones, but split a double-header on Sunday, winning the first game 2-1. They are now 1-2 at the beginning of the season.
The Baby Bombers are carrying 16 pitchers on their squad and are hoping to use their versatility in their bullpen to shut teams down this year. They are hoping to develop all of their players, while getting them valuable playing time.
The Yankees' bats are looking to do damage this year, but lacked the ability to produce runs in the first three games, only scoring a combined six runs. They had 12 hits in three games, led by second baseman Jose Javier and first baseman Chris Breen who collected three each.
David Palladino returns this year as one of the Yankees' main starters. Last year he pitched to a 4.67 ERA while going 3-3 in 12 starts.
After struggling to score in the first three games, Staten Island broke out Monday night in the series finale. With a 2-2 game heading into the seventh inning, Staten Island got to Brooklyn reliever, Gaither Bumgardner for two runs in the seventh and eight innings. They would add another run in the ninth to top Brooklyn, 7-2.
The Yankees will play a three game series against Aberdeen at home, Tuesday through Thursday.
Baby Bomber Notes
– Through three games the Yankees are batting .151—last in the New York- Penn League
– Pitcher Conor Mullee was sent down to Staten Island from the Charleston River Dogs

If you select this option, WyzAnt will ask interested tutors to contact you by email if they are able to help. A maximum of five different tutors will email you and none of your personal information, including your email address, will be released.
I am a graduate from university with Bachelor of Science in math and Master of Art in methods of teaching math.
My 30 years of services in the system of education includes teaching high school and college math, developing elementary and middle school grade texts, and tutoring students of different grades including my own daughter and son.
My philosophy of teaching is that every student can be successful in his or her endeavor provided he or she is properly supported.
My tutoring strategy is learner centered suitable to address learners needs focusing on the area of learners' improvement. I love enabling students achieve their learning goals.
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
Major topics/chapters included but not limited to in algebra I are real numbers and their properties, equations and functions, writing, solving, and graphing linear equations, solving and graphing linear inequalities, system of linear equations and inequalities, exponential functions, polynomials, quadratic equations and functions, radicals, rational equations as well as probability and data analysis. During the study work depending on the topic and the needs of the learner, graphing calculator will be used.
At the tutoring session concepts will be made clear. Examples are worked on with the learner, and the learner will be assisted to do similar exercises until she/he is able to do them independently.
My approach is flexible to meet the needs of the learner.
The contents of Algebra II include, solving equations and inequalities involving absolute values, solving system of linear equations and inequalities (in two or three variables), operation on polynomials, factoring polynomials, operations on rational expressions, operations on complex numbers, factoring and solving quadratic equations, graphing quadratic equations (of the form y=a(x-b)² + c) determining maxima, minima and zeros of the function, proving the laws and solving problems involving exponential and logarithmic functions and their inverses, translating between logarithms of different bases, simplifying and approximating the values of logarithmic numeric expressions, graphing conic section, determining the equation of circles, ellipses, parabola, and hyperbola, computing permutations and combinations, computing probabilities, expanding binomial expressions, applying mathematical inductions to prove general statements on natural numbers, finding the general term and sum of arithmetic series, finite and infinite geometric series, deriving summation formulas for arithmetic series, solving problems involving inverse functions, operation on functions. During the study work depending on the topic and the needs of the learner, graphing calculator will be used.
At the tutoring session concepts will be made clear, examples are worked, the learner will be assisted to do similar items until she/he is able to do similar exercises independently.
My approach is flexible to meet the needs of the learner.
Depending on their needs, at the end of my tutoring my student will be able to perform the following tasks in geometry:
1.Identify the basics of geometry concepts like points, planes, segments, distances, rays, angles, triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons; classify triangles and quadrilaterals, in connection with the reality solve problems involving these concepts.
2.Indicate the positional relations of lines and angles, like parallel and perpendicular lines, transversals, types of angles formed by transversals, slope of lines, slope of parallel and perpendicular lines, equations of lines, positional relation of circle and lines
3.Measure line segments angles and perform basic constructions such as bisecting line segments and angles, drawing parallel and perpendicular lines.
4.Identify parts of circles and polygons, find circumference/ perimeter of circles,/triangles and polygons, area of circle, triangle, parallelograms and regular polygons.
5.Identify and classify quadrilaterals, indicate their properties; locate figures in the coordinate system.
6.Apply postulates and make use of deductive and indirect reasoning to proof Pythagorean Theorem, congruency and similarity of triangular figures;
7.Get introduced to right triangle trigonometry: sine, cosine, tangent, secant, cosecant, and cotangent.
8.Find the surface area and volume of space figures; make use of the concept to solve practical problem.
I have the knowledge, the skills, and the experience to assist the students to enable them:
•Revise the concepts, place values, orders, of Whole Numbers, the four basic operations (adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing) with these numbers.

Forecast: 131 million digital cameras to ship in 2011
A camera industry consortium predicts growth of 7.8 percent this year for the camera market, and higher growth for the interchangeable-lens segment.
The camera market will grow 7.8 percent to 131 million units from 2010 to 2011, the Camera and Imaging Products Association forecast today.
As has been the case for some years, cameras with interchangeable lenses are a smaller but faster-growing market. That segment--which now includes compact mirrorless models from Sony, Panasonic, Samsung, and Olympus that are smaller than traditional SLR cameras--should grow 20.2 percent to 15.5 million units in 2011, CIPA forecast.
Cameras with built-in lenses, a much broader market but one in more danger of losses to the growing use of phones for photography, should grow in shipments 6.4 percent to 115.5 million in 2011, CIPA forecast.
Meanwhile, camera lenses continue to be a big market unto themselves--one of the big reasons camera makers are eager to encourage customers to buy a camera that accepts that company's lenses and not a rival's. CIPA expects lens shipments will increase 21.7 percent to 26.4 million.
Digital cameras continue to be a staple of the electronics business. Even though they take better photos than phones, they lack a major smartphone feature: a network connection . That connectivity permits important activities such as sharing photos with Facebook and Instagram.
Research firm iSuppli also expects rising camera shipments, peaking in 2013 then starting to decline.

- Running Time: 30 minutes.
Cartoon Summary:
Scarab plants an amulet on Armon that drains his power. Armon starts getting weaker without realizing that it is being caused by the amulet. When Presley throws Armon during an Egyp-Tsu lesson, Armon is upset. He needs to prove to himself that he is still a great fighter, so he enters "The World's Toughest Gladiator Contest." Scarab summons the spirit of Talos, Man of Bronze, to take on Armon. At the Contest, Armon gets weaker and weaker but defeats the Masked Destroyer, some Kung-Fu guy, and a Sumo Wrestler to end up in the final against Talos. Ultimately, the amulet is ripped off Armon by Ammut, and Armon defeats the 100-foot tall Talos by pulling his "Achilles heel" plug in his ankle, and Talos melts into nothingness.

Flushing, NY (Sports Network) - Mike Pelfrey hurled 6 1/3 scoreless innings and the Mets bullpen did the rest in a 4-0 win over the Rockies.
Pelfrey (8-6) scattered seven hits and three walks while fanning five in the victory, New York's fourth straight, its longest streak since a four-game stretch between May 25-29. Pedro Feliciano hurled 1 2/3 perfect frames, and Sean Green preserved the shutout with a scoreless ninth.
Daniel Murphy went 2-for-3 with a walk, two runs scored and an RBI, while Alex Cora and David Wright each had two hits for the victors.
Colorado's Jason Marquis (12-7) lasted six frames, allowing three runs -- two earned -- on seven hits in the loss. Todd Helton and Troy Tulowitzki each had two hits for the Rockies, who had won three of four before dropping the first two meetings of this four-game set.
The Mets' victory comes a day after an ugly interaction played out in the media between general manager Omar Minaya and Daily News writer Adam Rubin.
The incident, though damaging, will apparently not cost Minaya his job.
"It hurt the organization. Omar admitted he hurt the organization and he feels bad about that," Mets owner Jeff Wilpon said before the game. "[Omar] has not been reprimanded. His remorse and sorrow for what he knows he did...I think that's more punishment than anyone can put on him."
The team did its talking on the field, managing several runs via small-ball in the early going. Murphy led off the second with a double and came around on a single by Jeff Francoeur.
In the third, Luis Castillo's two-out base hit plated Cora, who opened the frame with a single and moved up on Pelfrey's sacrifice bunt.
Clint Barmes popped out with the bases loaded to end the away fourth, and his error at second on Cory Sullivan's tailor-made double-play ball put runners on the corners for the Mets in the home half.
Brian Schneider then chased home Murphy with a sac fly to left for a 3-0 lead.
Colorado again filled the bags in the sixth, but again Barmes failed to come through, flying out to right to end the threat.
"I got into some jams and I was able to get Barmes to pop up twice," Pelfrey said. "I felt like when I got into a jam I made a pitch when I had to."
Pelfrey was pulled after yielding a one-out double to Dexter Fowler in the seventh. Feliciano entered from the bullpen and struck out pinch-hitter Garrett Atkins and Helton to maintain the shutout.
Murphy singled home Castillo in the eighth for the game's final run. Castillo narrowly slid past Fowler's throw from center, and Rockies manager Jim Tracy was thrown out of the game for arguing the result of the bang-bang play.
"Normally I don't normally get too animated unless I feel I'm close to being correct, and in this case I was right," Rockies manager Jim Tracy said.

Kookaburra's Note:
This is the richest, heaviest, moistest, most alcoholic Christmas cake you're likely to find anywhere! It's from Australia's "Better Homes and Gardens" magazine (December 2002). The tablespoon measurements for the spices are correct - this cake is so flavoursome it can take this quantity of spice.
My Private Note
Units: US | Metric
- 340 g pitted prunes
- 375 g currants
- 375 g raisins
- 1 1/4 cups port wine, plus
- additional port wine, for feeding the cake in the lead up to christmas
- 250 g butter, chopped
- 1 tablespoon vanilla essence
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 orange, juice of
- 1 orange, zest of, finely grated
- 1/3 cup treacle
- 1 1/2 cups plain flour
- 1/2 cup self-raising flour
- 1 tablespoon mixed spice
- 1 tablespoon nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 200 g dark cooking chocolate, chopped
- 250 g glace cherries
- 200 g walnuts, halved
- 1You will also need: Brown paper- enough to wrap a double layer around the cake tin.
- 2Use a pair of scissors to cut up the prunes.
- 3Combine prunes, currants, raisins and 1 cup of the port together in a large bowl and mix well.
- 4Allow to stand for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
- 5Meanwhile, spray a deep 23cm-round (9") cake tin with cooking oil, then line the base and sides of the tin with two layers of baking (silicone) paper- bringing the paper 5cm (2") above the rim of the tin.
- 6When the fruit has been soaking for two hours, preheat the oven to a slow 160C (310F).
- 7Add the orange rind, juice and treacle to the fruit mixture and stir to combine.
- 8Place the chopped chocolate, cherries and walnuts into a mixing bowl.
- 9Add the sifted flours and spices to this bowl and stir lightly to combine.
- 10Now, chop the butter into smallish pieces and transfer to a small bowl.
- 11Beat with an electric mixer until the colour of the butter changes to pale yellow.
- 12Add vanilla and beat for an extra minute.
- 13Add sugar and beat until the mixture looks light and creamy and all the sugar crystals have dissolved.
- 14(This is an important step- if the sugar crystals don't dissolve your cake will develop a crusty top).
- 15Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- 16Add the butter and egg mixture to the fruit and mix well.
- 17Next, add the flour mixture to the fruit, and stir lightly with a wooden spoon until just combined.
- 18(Do not beat the mixture or the cake will be tough- a light hand ensures a good cake).
- 19Call in the family and have everyone give the cake a stir while they make a Christmas wish.
- 20Spoon the batter evenly into the cake tin.
- 21Run your hand under the tap and then use it to smooth the top of the cake.
- 22Now, wrap a double thickness of brown paper around the tin and secure it with string.
- 23Place the cake in the centre of the pre-heated 160c (310F) oven and bake for 3- 3 1/2 hours, or until a skewer, inserted into the centre of the cake, comes out clean.
- 24Remove the cake from the oven and, while still hot, pour over the extra port.
- 25Now, wrap the cake (tin and all) in a thick, clean towel.
- 26Keep wrapped for at least 24 hours, or until the cake is completely cold.
- 27Store the cake, well covered, in its tin in a cool, dry place- or in the refrigerator if it's really hot where you live.
- 28Each week before Christmas, use a skewer to poke several holes in the top of the cake and pour over a little more port- this is called'feeding' the cake.
- 29Close to Christmas, you can ice this cake with the traditional Christmas cake icing (frosting) if you wish, but it will still be spectacularly good without it.
- 30Serve small portions as this cake is very, very rich.

How do I use Data.gov?
You can search Data.gov from its catalog of government data from across the Federal Government. Once in the catalog, you can search or browse for data by entering key words in the search box or selecting the type of data you are looking for on the left side.
Once you find a dataset or tool of interest, click on the title and you will be taken to a page with more details on that specific dataset or tool. Some datasets are downloadable, while others are links to web sites or apps that help you access or use the data. Datasets can be searched by key word, format, community, organization type, and or organization.
Please note that by accessing datasets or tools offered on Data.gov, you agree to the Data Policy, which you should read before accessing any data. If there are additional datasets that you would like to see included on this site, please suggest more datasets here.
How are the datasets in Data.gov collected?
Under the terms of President Obama's Executive Order and the Administration's Open Data Policy, all newly-generated government data are required to be made available in open, machine-readable formats, while continuing to ensure privacy and security.
Federal agencies are also required to:
- Create a Single Agency Data Inventory. Agencies are required to catalog their data assets, just like they would inventory computers or desk chairs, to better manage and use these resources.
- Publish a Public Data Listing. On their agency.gov/data pages, agencies are required to publish a list of their data assets that are public, or could be made public.
- Develop New Public Feedback Mechanisms. Agencies are required to set up feedback mechanisms to engage the public about where agencies should focus open data efforts, such as facilitating and prioritizing the release of datasets. Agencies are also required to identify public points of contacts for agency datasets.
Agency Public Data Listings, on agency.gov/data pages, are harvested into the central catalog for Data.gov. Each agency is responsible for its own data.
How can I add my city, county, or state data the Data.gov catalog?
Any government agency or university can publish information about their open data on Data.gov. The data remains on their platform, but information about the datasets – like the description and details about the data – is published in the Data.gov catalog so people can discover open data from across the country.
To have your datasets listed on Data.gov, you'll coordinate with the Data.gov team following these four steps:
- If you are your local government's open data official, contact the Data.gov team to let them know you'd like to get started. (For non-government organizations, please also state the reason you'd like your data included on Data.gov.) Please include your site URL, a link to your data policy, and information about the open data platform your site uses (ArcGIS Open Data, CKAN, Civic Data, DKAN, Junar, NuCivic Data Enterprise, Open Data Catalog, Socrata, or other).
- The Data.gov team will create a new harvester that will automatically collect information about your datasets and update Data.gov whenever changes are made on your data catalog. Depending on your platform, creating this harvester might just be the push of a button or it could take a little more work, but they'll walk you through it in any case.
- The Data.gov team will test to ensure the harvester works properly. If anything seems wrong, they'll help you configure your data catalog so that Data.gov can collect your datasets without any errors.
- Once the harvester has been tested successfully, Data.gov will start automatically consuming information about your data sets (harvesting) and all the basic details of your datasets will be available on Data.gov with links to the source and your open data policy.
Who developed Data.gov?
Data.gov is managed and hosted by the U.S. General Services Administration, Office of Citizen Services and Innovative Technologies.
What standards were used to develop the metadata displayed on Data.gov?
Data.gov follows the Project Open Data schema – a set of required fields (Title, Description, Tags, Last Update, Publisher, Contact Name, etc.) for every data set displayed on Data.gov.
Will my comments be read?
Yes. Emails that you send will be sent to the relevant agency for review and/or responded to by the Data.gov team.
What if I am having difficulty downloading a dataset from the catalog?
Some web browser configurations, particularly those that are designed for high-security computing environments, can interfere with access to certain datasets from the catalog. This is most commonly related to government websites that use security certificates and end user browsers that are not configured to recognize those certificates as being authoritative. If you are having difficulty downloading one or more datasets from the Data.gov catalog, please contact your local IT support staff to determine whether browser configuration issues can be addressed for your workstation.
How does Data.gov maintain accessibility?
The commitment to accessibility for all is reflected on this site in our efforts to ensure all functionality and all content are accessible to all Data.gov users. The Data.gov site is routinely tested for compliance with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act using a technical standards checklist, in-depth testing with screen readers, policy experts, and people with disabilities. For more information on Section 508 technical standards, please visit www.Section508.gov.
In addition, the Data.gov site is also routinely reviewed for alignment with the latest Web Accessibility Initiative Guidelines for W3C. The Web Accessibility Initiative Guidelines at www.W3.org/WAI/ define how browsers, media players, and other "user agents" support people with disabilities and work assistive technologies.
Images on the site contain "alt tags", which aid users who listen to the content of the site by using a screen reader, rather than reading the site. Likewise, a "skip to" link provides these users with a method for bypassing the header and going directly to the main content each time a page is accessed. Text transcripts accompany audio clips, and closed captioning is available on videos.
Users can get information regarding the accessibility of Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) files from the Access Adobe website.
The Data.gov website is being updated frequently to make it as accessible as possible. If you use assistive technology (such as a screen reader, eye tracking device, or voice recognition software) and have difficulty accessing information on Data.gov, please contact us and provide the URL (web address) of the material you tried to access, the problem you experienced, and your contact information. A Data.gov team member will contact you and attempt to provide the information you are seeking.
What information is in the Agency Participation (metrics) area?
Metrics reporting on the following areas: Federal Agency participation and visitor statistics.

The kitchen is gorgeous, my room was big and comfortable, and everywhere I looked, something cool (whether it be a decoration, a cute sign, or a cat) was looking back at me. I've already been recommending this place to friends and if I'm ever looking for a place to stay in Vancouver again, yours is the first number I'll call! "

- " Urban Hideaway is truly a treasure in the Vancouver Gastown area. We loved this charming, hostel and will absolutely stay again. We found the accommodations exactly as described and appreciated the staff for accommodating our very late check in. There was parking readily available and Gastown was just a few blocks away. Overall UH was clean, secure, the staff was very friendly and fixings for breakfast were way above average! "
