DataSpace is a system for interactive 3-D visualization and analysis of large databases. DataSpace utilizes the display space by placing panels of information, possibly generated by different visualization applications, in a 3-D graph layout, and providing continuous navigation facilities. Selective rearrangements and transparency can be used to reduce occlusion or to compare or merge a set of images (e.g. line graphs or scatter plots) that are aligned and stacked in depth. A prototype system supporting the basic 3-D graphic operations (layout, zoom, rotation, translation, transparency) has been implemented. We provide several illustrative examples of DataSpace displays taken from the current system. We present the 3-D display paradigm, describe the query, layout and rendering steps required to create a display, and discuss some performance issues.

Getting Around
Your new neighbourhood
Path to university
At Uniplaces we make the process of booking an apartment as easy as possible for both tenant and landlord.
That's why we have our own team of professional photographers that verify our properties and pick our landlords carefully in order to save time on viewings: we think it's old-fashioned and time-consuming.
You can look at forty different apartments on our platform in the same amount of time that it takes to see a room.
The pictures you see here haven't been photoshopped, so they'll be really accurate.
If you've still got any doubts, we'll keep the money that you transfer us until 24h after your move-in date.
If something's not exactly what you saw online, we'll help you move somewhere else and return your money.
We can only give you the contact details of your landlord after your booking is accepted. But we can guarantee that Uniplaces chooses the landlords it works with very carefully.
Besides, we've had students whose favourite part was living with a local!
Landlords and host families can be great city guides, help you out with translations and even become your friends.
As soon as your booking is accepted, you're given the landlord's contact details. Then, you can discuss all details directly with them, such as when you'll be moving-in.
Students move in and out at different times, so your flatmates might change during your stay.
It's a great opportunity to make new friends!
We personally speak to students who we place in Uniplaces apartments and are sure we will find the right place for you as well!
At the bottom of the property page, you have a calendar where you can see the availability of that room/apartment, according to the landlord.
But if you're still unsure about that we're happy to help.
Tell us your move-in and move-out dates and we will double-check if the place is available for you!
There are two different types of deposits: the Holding and Security deposits.
By clicking on "Deposit" at the bottom of the offer page you will get more information about each type of deposit.
In general, the deposit is paid to cover for any potential damages that may occur during your period of stay or will be used as rent compensation in case you leave earlier than originally planned.
If no damages occur and you leave on the agreed move-out date, your deposit should be refunded by the landlord in a way you both agree on.

The Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) said that the total was 65 per cent higher than in 2005, but broadly in line with levels seen five years ago.
It means that roughly one in 690 homeowners saw their house repossessed during the year.
The figure is slightly down on previous forecasts of 18,000 for 2006 following a slowdown towards the end of the year.
But the CML said it now expects repossessions to rise steadily to 19,000 in 2007 and 20,000 in 2008.
It reflects increased pressure on home loan affordability as a result of higher interest rates, the lenders' association said.
Statistics for arrears showed that the number of homeowners more than six months behind on payments fell by 8.5 per cent, from 49,010 at the end of 2005 to 44,840 at the end of last year.
It represented 0.38 per cent of all mortgages - approximately one in every 260.
Shorter term arrears also fell, figures show. The number of people falling three to six months behind on their payments was down 6 per cent year on year.
But the CML said that due to recent base rate hikes, the proportion of homeowners in short-term arrears is likely to rise during 2007.
Responding to the CML's latest repossession figures, Adam Sampson, chief executive of homelessness charity Shelter, said: "This massive rise of 65 per cent in mortgage repossessions means thousands more hard-working families face the nightmare of becoming homeless.
"Mortgage arrears and repossession problems seen by Shelter have more than doubled in the last two years, and we received more than 70,000 hits on our repossession web pages in 2006."
He added: "Spiralling house prices, created by a desperate shortage of housing, are forcing more families to overstretch themselves to get on the property ladder.
"We are calling on mortgage providers to be more responsible, particularly when lending large sums of money to vulnerable people on low incomes, and urging the Government to increase support to help families keep a roof over their heads."
David Stubbs, senior economist at the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), said: "Although repossessions continued to rise during the second half of 2006, the rise was slower than many had feared.
"These better-than-expected figures show that strong economic growth during the second half of the year helped take the pressure off household finances.
"Although strong economic growth will still be a positive force for households in 2007, we expect repossessions to rise further as the impact of the recent increases in interest rates takes its toll and homeowners struggle to repay their mortgage loans.
"Repossessions should rise from the 17,000 seen last year towards our forecast of 19,000."Reuse content

Jeb! is fine, as far as logos go. It's uninspired, sure, but it gets the job done. But as a piece of typography, it's crap.
Actually, it's worse than that.
"It's a piece of shit, and you can quote me on that," says design critic Steven Heller, who has written dozens of books on everything from branding and typography to infographics and posters. He is hardly alone in being so critical, though famed typographer Chester Jenkins was a bit more gentle about it. "The logo isn't bad as a graphic, but as a piece of typography, there are some problems," he says.
Bush, the third member of the Republican political dynasty to aspire to the White House, revealed his Baskerville logo on Twitter Sunday. Much has been said about the font, and the colors, and what exactly it all means, and doesn't mean, about the man who would be president. And the bottom line is, according to some prominent graphic designers and critics, it has more than a few problems.
— Jeb Bush (@JebBush) June 14, 2015
First among them is the letters, which is pretty big when you consider that's essentially all the logo is: Jeb! in Baskerville. There's no typical (stereotypical?) American iconography—the stars and stripes, an eagle, something—to guide the eye away from the four bright red letters in a font Jenkins describes as "a not very pleasant weight" of the type cut in the 20th century. It's just so … ordinary. The guy who designed Jeb! used an off-the-shelf font. The result is a logo that could have been created by any kid with a Mac. Now, it's being used as a man who wants to become our president.
It's a piece of shit, and you can quote me on that. Steven Heller, design critic
Beyond that, it's not at all original. Bush has been using some variation of the Jeb! logo since 1994, when he made an unsuccessful run for governor of Florida. We found a perfect time capsule of a photo showing Jeb alongside his beaming father, George H.W. Bush, who sports a white baseball cap emblazoned with "Jeb!" in Benguiat, a font Ed Benguiat designed in 1978 (the same font used in the opening titles of Star Trek Generations).
The Bush team scores points for updating the font, but loses points for doing it so poorly. Jenkins says more space between the "J" and "E" would have created more balance. And the exclamation mark is out of proportion to the rest of the lettering. "It's not entirely clear if the '!' has been scaled a specific amount, as its dimensions don't relate to anything else in the logo," he says. "The bottom of the curves of the "J" and "!"—the overshoot—almost align. But not quite. It confuses the eye."
Oh, and that 2016 underneath? While not the most offensive part of the logo, it could stand to be a little higher and to the right. Plus, says typographer Tobias Frere-Jones, the year is "set in a sans that is too mechanical to harmonize with the main letterforms and too feeble to make a deliberate contrast."
All things considered, the logo is more akin to a clip-on than a neatly knotted presidential tie. As graphic designer David Carson puts it: "It's what I would expect if Jed! Clampett were running for mayor of Beverly Hills. This logo suggests nothing new, exciting or progressive, nor serious or highly educated. Good ole boy comes to mind; also SALE TODAY, painted on the side of a building."
Renowned typographer Jonathan Hoefler is similarly unimpressed: "It doesn't have any of the professional polish of Hillary's logo, though I can't help but wonder if it's an attempt to make her slick."
Pretty harsh, but all is fair in love, war, and politics. Remember the uproar surrounding Hillary Clinton's logo?
Mike Murphy, a political strategist who's worked with the Bush family in the past and has been credited with slapping the exclamation point at the end of "Jeb," came to its defense. "Why Jeb! Logo works well: clean, easy to see from far away, upbeat, and most of all; Consistent," he tweeted.
Murphy might be biased, but even a few graphic designers have admitted that it checks enough boxes to be considered successful, visually speaking. "It's strong, it's bold, it's short, it reduces well," says Sagi Haviv, a graphic designer and partner at Chermayeff & Geismar & Haviv in New York, before adding a gripe of his own: The logo, with its glaring exclamation mark, is annoyingly bossy. "I'll decide if I get excited," Haviv says. "Don't tell me to get excited."

Senator Carl Levin (D-MI), Chairman of the Armed Services Committee,
announced today that the committee has completed its conference of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2013. The bill authorizes funding for the Department of Defense (DOD) and the national security programs of the Department of Energy (DOE).
Senator Levin said, "The conference report on the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013, which was adopted today by the conference committee, provides well-deserved support for the men and women of the armed forces and their families and provides them with
the means to accomplish their missions." Senator Levin continued, "I am particularly pleased that we were able to reach agreement on important provisions dealing with the pay and benefits of our troops and retirees, the required reporting by cleared defense contractors of cyber intrusions, and investments in the technologies our men and women in uniform will need in the future, while ensuring appropriate stewardship of taxpayer dollars."
Senator McCain said, in expressing support for the bill, "I thank Chairmen Levin and McKeon and Ranking Member Smith for their hard work. This Conference Report demonstrates that when it comes to addressing the issues of our men and women in uniform, Congress can work together
in a bipartisan and bicameral way. The bill contains many vital provisions that will help the Department of Defense meet the Nation's security objectives around the world, provide for the continued readiness of our armed forces, support military families, and improve defense
acquisition and contracting."
Senator Levin added, "As Senator McCain leaves his position as Ranking Member of the Committee, I want to thank him for his dedication and hard work as my partner in moving the annual NDAA through the legislative process these last few years. I know he will continue to be a leading member of our committee and I look forward to continuing to work with him to address issues of importance to our military men and women and their families."
Note: This section describes major provisions contained in the markup agreement. Some items are repeated in the Detailed Description section following these major highlights.
1. Improve the quality of life of the men and women of the all-volunteer force (active duty, National Guard, and reserves) and their families, as well as Department of Defense civilian personnel, through fair pay, policies and benefits, and address the needs of the wounded, ill, and injured service members and their families.
2. Authorizes fiscal year 2013 active-duty end strengths for the Army of 552,100; the Navy, 322,700; the Marine Corps, 197,300; and the Air Force, 329,460.
3. Authorizes additional active-duty and reserve end strengths for the Air Force to support changes to the revised Air Force force structure proposal.

6. Establishes the Military Compensation and Retirement Modernization Commission to review elements of military compensation and retirement benefits to ensure the long-term viability of the all-volunteer force, enable a high quality of life for military families, and to modernize and achieve sustainability of the compensation and retirement systems, while grandfathering the retired pay of current service members and retirees.
7. Enhances programs and authorities to prevent and respond to sexual assault in the military.
8. Enhances suicide prevention programs.
9. Establishes cost-sharing rates under the TRICARE pharmacy benefits program for fiscal year 2013 in statute, and in fiscal years 2014 through 2022 limits any annual increases in pharmacy copayments to increases in retiree cost of living adjustments.

11. Requires the Secretary of Defense to conduct a 1-year pilot program to provide for the treatment of autism spectrum disorders, including applied behavior analysis, for all TRICARE beneficiaries under the basic program.
12. Authorizes DOD to pay for abortions in cases of rape or incest.
13. Clarifies that the maximum award under the combat-related special compensation (CRSC) statute may not, when combined with the amount of retired pay payable to a retiree after mandatory reductions are taken relative to VA disability compensation, cause the total of such combined payments to exceed the amount of retired pay the member would have been entitled to based solely on years of service.
14. Requires the armed forces to accommodate the beliefs of a service member reflecting the conscience, moral principles, or religious beliefs of the member and, in so far as practicable, would prohibit use of such beliefs as the basis of any adverse personnel action, discrimination, or denial of promotion, schooling, training, or assignment.

What are people referring to when they talk about "game-theory optimal"?
I wasn't sure where to put this thread, it pertains to both cash and tournament poker, really (but I think it's easier to talk about in terms of cash games). If it is the wrong place, I would appreciate if someone could move it to its right place.
I see a lot of people mention GTO or "game-theory optimal" in discussions here and elsewhere. What are people referring to, exactly, when they say this?
I am a researcher in computational game theory, and I don't think these concepts are well-defined, for mainly two reasons:
1. In games with more than two players, a strategy can only really be optimal with respect to a fixed set of strategies of all other players. At any given table, play is clearly not in equilibrium, so this represents serious problems for calling any strategy GTO.
2. In two-player zero-sum games (such as HU), it is more clear. Here, you can play a least exploitable strategy (technically you could also do this above, but that would probably be absolutely horrible, possibly consisting of folding almost everything), and it is arguably the optimal strategy. However, no such strategy is known. At least not for the poker games that people are discussing.
So I charge you, cardschat, with convincing me that the use of GTO as a discussion argument is sensible. I suspect that people might just be using it to mean something else than what it would technically mean in game theory.
Cliff notes:
GTO is playing in a manner that is not exploitable.
A good example would be Nash equilibrium charts for shoving heads up.
/Cliff notes, begin tldr but I think you'll appreciate this.
Understanding Game Theory and Hold'em, by Bryce Paradis and Douglas Zare
Game theory has become a popular, if somewhat misunderstood, topic for hold'em discussion. This article is intended to give you a fundamental understanding of what game theory optimal strategy is, how it works, and what its impact is on hold'em play. Before we begin on the article proper, however, we will start by reviewing some key definitions. These definitions are not necessarily the same as those used by all others.
Optimal Exploitive Strategy: A strategy which yields the highest possible EV against your opponent's strategy. For example, if in a game of rock-paper-scissors your opponent's strategy is to choose rock every single time your optimal exploitive strategy is to pick paper every single time. The same is true if your opponent's strategy is rock 50%, paper 25%, and scissors 25%.
Suboptimal Strategy: A strategy which performs worse than an optimal exploitive strategy. For example, if your opponent's strategy is to choose rock every single time, choosing paper 50% and rock 50% is still a winning strategy. The EV of the paper-and-rock strategy, however, is less than that of the paper-only strategy. Therefore the paper-and-rock strategy is suboptimal.
Game Theory Optimal (GTO): A strategy that yields the highest possible EV (or: "is optimal") if your opponent always chooses the best possible counter-strategy. In a game of rock-paper-scissors the GTO strategy is to choose randomly from an equal distribution of paper, scissors, and rocks. If you play rock less often than paper, you will have less than ½ equity against an all scissors strategy. Similarly, you must play paper at least as often as you play scissors, and scissors at least as often as you play rock. As a result, you must play paper, scissors, and rocks with equal frequency to guarantee ½ equity against all strategies. So long as your opponent always chooses the optimal counter-strategy to whatever strategy you choose no strategy on your part can have a higher EV than this.
Exploitive Strategy: Any strategy which has a higher EV than GTO strategy against a particular opponent.
Exploitable Strategy: A strategy which has less EV against some exploitive strategies than GTO strategy. All non-GTO strategies are exploitable.
When analyzing optimal, exploitive strategies, we treat an opponent's strategy as a known. For example: "my opponent always chooses rock." In reality, our opponent's strategy is an unknown, and we often act on assumptions and observations in order to determine what we will treat our opponent's strategy as. To determine a GTO strategy, we assume that our opponent always chooses the optimally exploitive counter to whichever strategy we try, rather than playing a fixed strategy.
Hold'em is a much more complicated game than rock-paper-scissors, and until the game is solved by computers no one will ever play against an opponent who always chooses a GTO (or: "unexploitable") strategy. This is an important point, as a GTO strategy is not necessarily the strategy with the highest possible EV. For example, if our opponent's strategy is rock-only then the GTO strategy of choosing randomly from an equal distribution of paper, scissors, and rocks has less EV than that of the paper-only strategy.
GTO play, however, still plays an important role in hold'em strategy. Even though a GTO strategy may have less EV an exploitive strategy, understanding what the GTO strategy is and being able to identify how our opponents' strategy deviates from it can help you to better exploit your opponents. Further, understanding GTO strategy can also allow to be able to create balanced strategies which are difficult to exploit. These strategies can be used as a defense against tough opponents looking for an exploitive edge.
In hold'em, as in many simple games such as rock-paper-scissors, a GTO strategy is often identifiable by finding an indifference point. What this means is that the GTO strategy will often distribute your actions in such a way that your opponent is indifferent to choosing between two actions. As a result your strategy is unexploitable.
Although hold'em has not been solved, many half-street and full-street mini-games which model real hold'em situations have been solved. By understanding where the indifference points lie in different hold'em scenarios, you can identify your opponent's deviations from GTO play and exploit your opponent maximally. At its most basic conceptual level hold'em is still a very simply game: rather than playing with a distribution of paper, scissors and rocks we play with a distribution of bluffs and not-bluffs. By understanding even just the simplest mini-games you can greatly improve your play.
A common example of a half-street game would be one where we either hold hands that always win, or always lose if we see a showdown, and can either bet or check, and our opponent may only call or fold. If he calls, there is a showdown. This is often analogous to a river-betting scenario in real hold'em play where our opponent's range is narrow and ours is polarized. By solving the mini-game we can see that the GTO strategy is to bluff an amount proportionate to the price we are laying our opponent on his call. For example, if we bet $1 into a $2 pot we are laying 3:1 by betting, and the GTO strategy is to bluff 25% of the time that we bet. Our opponent will be indifferent to calling or folding. As a result, we know that if we deviate from this strategy our opponent can exploit us by either always calling if we bluff more, or always folding if we bluff less.
Conversely, in this scenario the pot is laying us 2:1 on our bluffs, and so we become indifferent to betting or checking with our bluffs if our opponent calls 67% of the time. This is our opponent's GTO strategy. If our opponent deviates from this strategy we can exploit him by always bluffing if he calls less, or by never bluffing if he calls more.
If our opponent deviates from GTO strategy in the previous example, the optimal exploitive strategies of either always folding or always bluffing have higher EV than any exploitive strategies which involve bluffing or folding less than 100% of the time. Weak opponents are weak not only because they choose exploitable strategies so often, but because we can also make such large deviations from indifference points without them adapting to exploit us.
Not all GTO decisions involve finding an indifference point. For example, say we are playing a variant of rock-paper-scissors where there is a fourth option to choose dynamite, which beats everything. The GTO strategy is to choose dynamite-only. Your opponent, however, may still select a dominated strategy by choosing either paper, scissors, or rock. Similar circumstances arise in hold'em, for example, when the nuts is such a large portion of our total range that we are unable to bluff often enough to make our opponent indifferent to calling or folding.
What this means is that while a GTO strategy can never be exploited, and can therefore never be a losing strategy in hold'em (if there is no rake), your opponents can still make dominated strategy decisions which will cause them to lose, and you to win. Therefore, while GTO strategies in hold'em are often suboptimal, the prospect of these "invincible strategies" still hold some exciting implications for a savvy student of game theory, particularly at the highest levels of play.
A tough opponent is only tough, after all, because he or she chooses makes far fewer suboptimal strategy decisions than soft opponent. An extraordinarily tough opponent will have an extremely refined capacity for dynamic play. If you choose a strategy of rock-only, he or she will quickly recognize it and choose paper-only, and so on. Such players will quickly identify trends in your play, or even make pre-emptive assumptions about your play, which may allow them to exploit your non-GTO strategies with unnerving frequency and accuracy.
It is appealing to think that by selecting a GTO strategy, our opponents could only lose. However, even the strongest opponents have exploitive (and therefore potentially-exploited) strategies in their play, and hold'em is, after all, a game of incomplete information. If you are playing against an extremely tough opponent who you know uses a strategy analogous to paper 33%, scissors 20%, and rock 47%, you would be foolish to attempt a strategy of paper-only. By definition of your opponent's toughness, your opponent will quickly adapt to exploit you. By understanding where the indifference points lie, however, and by making small deviations from them, you can still play exploitatively. Even the toughest, most cut-throat opponents are not clairvoyant, after all, and if you elect an exploitive strategy of paper 40%, scissors 30%, rock 30% how are they to know?
Thanks for the article, it's an interesting read, and not TLDR at all It certainly takes a somewhat more rigorous approach to what GTO means. I still have a few concerns on it though. Note that these are more theoretical than practical, I think what is written above is very useful in a practical sense, and probably the only semi-sound way to use game theory to inform play, for the time being. I still think it would be nice if the authors acknowledged these caveats, though.
Specifically, my contention is with what I left in the quote. It seems to essentially imply that, while we can't solve 2-player NLHE, we can solve "subgames" of it. However, the notion of a subgame, in a game-theoretic sense, does not apply to any subset of poker. This is because all game positions are interleaved with each other because the players don't know each other's hand. When solving isolated hands like is suggested here, you might open yourself up to exploitation by an opponent who realizes that you solved hands in isolation, and who can then exploit you by manipulating the isolated hand scenarios so that they don't have the structure you solved for. This would make such strategies non-GTO.
re: Poker & What are people referring to when they talk about "game-theory optimal"?
GTO is really only good for off the table study and developing you ranges. It will help you identify profitable situations that occur regularly, identify weak players, and simplify decision making. I recommend NOT trying to play GTO, but actually researching game theory. Harvard University has a wonderful lecture / class on game theory available on you tube.
Make sure when you post stuff like that you post the link in which you have found it.
Here it is just remember next time =P
re: Poker & What are people referring to when they talk about "game-theory optimal"?
I understand you, dude! GTO and others theories what players use are quit difficult and rather more stupid in online poker, especial in micro limits.
I think every poker players try to join forces includes poker theory, strategy and knowledges they have to maximise value of winnings and poker experience.
As for me, I play table by table using strategy by strategy. What I mean: each table has own special atmosphere and status. Each poker player has personal status so my strategy will be differ from each to other opponent.

It is always best to pick the lesser of two evils
You stare at the two ancient doors trying to decipher which one to choose.
Identical wooden panels face back at you from each side, set in the dusty grey stone, they are twins in every respect. How can you possibly choose between them?
You hesitate examining the grains in the wood, stroking the edge of the brass handles one by one, intent on discovering a sign somehow.
Suddenly you hear it. A faint almost indecipherable moan from behind the door on the left. You press your ear right up to the rough wood. There is definitely someone there. You check the other door and can hear nothing through it.
You wonder which is better a door where you know someone or something awaits you suffering or a silent mysterious door which gives no clue as to what lies behind? One may be the lesser of two evils as far as you are concerned but what about the person who you would abandon to their fate by picking the easy option? You would like to think you're not a coward although you know you tend to lean that way at times.
There is a moment's more hesitation before you summon up your altruism and carefully open the door on the left. On the other side of the door all is shadows and you lose the last remaining light as the door swings shut behind you.
The room seems eerie in the murky, dusty darkness. You jump as you feel someone reach out and take your hand until you realise it is a young wide-eyed girl of about seventeen. You can just about make out her face in the gloom and can see she is harmless and innocent.
"Thank God."
She murmurs to you, her voice barely above a whisper.
"I have been waiting for you. I need your help."

Poem by: attanasio
Status: Finished
Genre: Poetry
By: Joe Attanasio 2011
A mythical creature like no other bird,
Small and fierce from birth.
They never group like flocks or herds,
They live alone in rivers or beneath the earth.
Dragons with a thunderous roar you can feel,
Fiery breath, sharp claws and wings.
A hide of scales as strong as steel,
A tail that smashed hard when it swings.
Dragons culled the herds for food,
Guarded treasure they could not spend.
Satan used a dragons form so said Jude,
To fight Archangel Michael for heavens end.
Dragons live a very long life,
Both to lizard and serpent they belonged.
Their large eyes could see well at night,
Their wisdom very strong.
Dragons could not be tamed or soothed with a tune,
Dragons and man could never mix.
Their teeth and scales were worth a fortune,
They would destroy a village just for kicks.
People were mad, the dragons were chased,
Adventurers hunted them for profit and fun.
Destroyed first the eggs, then pursue them with haste,
They were slew one by one until there were none.

Where the Protestants Roam. Black, White and Gray provides a county by county color map of the largest Protestant denomination in each county. It seems that there is a huge empire of Southern Baptists and a fringe territory where the Assemblies of God and Methodists appear. Fresno is an Assemblies of God county. The New England area is Methodist, which squares with my mother's stories about Methodist relatives and friends. In Fresno, Methodists are fairly scarce on the ground.

In fact, even concurrent use of sessions couldn't trigger deadlocks in this case, since for a deadlock you'd need something that already has locked a deeper repository resource to try locking the session. The only cases I can think of where such a reverse order of locking is possible are observation listeners and item state change notifications. It's feasible that we still have some lurking concurrency issues in those areas (there were a few that we already fixed, see JCR-2443 for an example), but I prefer deadlocks (that give you easily traceable thread dumps) to potential cases of corrupted internal state (that are notoriously difficult to troubleshoot). So yeah, +1 to Thomas' suggestion. We shouldn't be relying on client applications to maintain proper concurrency control. BR, Jukka Zitting
