AlgTop7: The Klein bottle and projective plane
The Klein bottle and the projective plane are the basic non-orientable surfaces. The Klein bottle, obtained by gluing together two Mobius bands, is similar in some ways to the torus, and is something of a curiosity. The projective plane, obtained by gluing a disk to a Mobius band, is one of the most fundamental of all mathematical objects. Of all the surfaces, it most closely resembles the sphere.
This is the seventh lecture in this beginner's course on Algebraic Topology, given by Assoc Prof N
AlgTop3: Two-dimensional surfaces: the sphere
After the plane, the two-dimensional sphere is the most important surface, and in this lecture we give a number of ways in which it appears. As a Euclidean sphere, we relate it to stereographic projection and the inversive plane.
This is the third lecture in this beginner's course on Algebraic Topology. The lecturer is Assoc Prof N J Wildberger of the School of Mathematics and Statistics at UNSW.

What happens when sugar is dissolved in a glass of water or when a pot of water on the stove boils away? Do things ever really "disappear"? In everyday life, observations that things "disappear" or "appear" seem to contradict one of the fundamental laws of nature: matter can be neither created nor destroyed. In this session, participants learn how the principles of the particle model are consistent with conservation of matter.,The segment shows the interviewer trying to find out the student's id

Remote engineering implies a new strategy of assessment?
When we spoken about remote engineering as a new methodology used in the cyberspace with the final goal of the teaching/learning improvement and cost sharing, we are obliged to approach all of the process sides. Assessment is one of these sides and there is considered the most powerful tool for illustration, in the qualitative and quantitative ways, the learners responds at educational objectives offered by the remote engineering learning environment. In the present paper the authors have the in

20" X 24" Oil Painting On Canvas Hand painted oil reproduction of a beautiful Pissarro painting Enterance to the Village of Voisins. Originally painted in 1872. Today it has been carefully recreated detail-by-detail, color-by-color to near perfection. Jacob-Abraham-Camille Pissarro (1830-1903) was a French Impressionist painter who's focus on landscapes, as well as, rural and urban French life have always been a favorite of the viewing audience. His later work displays an empathy for peasants and laborers sometimes revealing his radical political leanings. Why not grace your home with this reproduced masterpiece? It is sure to bring many admirers! Frame Description: Opulent Frame - Dark Stained Wood with Gold Trim

Please check out knfsd 1.4.3, especially nfsd-2.2.7-lockd.patch. Now
the NFS file locking service can be started independent of nfs and
nfsd. It may solve problems where many directories are NFS mounted.
Now you should be able to start "nfslock" after mounting the NFS
-- H.J. Lu (firstname.lastname@example.com)--- This is the Linux kernel NFS daemon 1.4.3. It is based on linux-nfs 0.4.22. It is tested on Linux/alpha and Linux/x86 running glibc 2.1.1.WARNING: The NFS servers in Linux 2.2 to 2.2.10 are not compatible with other NFS client implemenations. If you plan to use Linux 2.2.x as an NFS server for non-Linux NFS clients, you should apply the patches enlosed here.
I made my knfsd package available only because I use it and noone else seems to maintain it. But I don't have much time to really work on it. I will only fix bugs in the NFS utilities and serious kernel NFS bugs which I can duplcate easily. If you have any kernel NFS server problem, please report it to the Linux kernel mailing list. If it can be reproduced with Linux NFS server and client in less than 5 minutes, you can also send me a copy in addition to sending it to the Linux kernel mailing list. I may take a look when I have time. However I will collect kernel NFS related patches. Contributions are more than welcome.
The NFS lock only works with lockd. Please make sure the portmapper, portmap, is started before mounting NFS.

You have to apply the patch, locks-2.2.3.diff, to the Linux kernel first. It fixes quite some file lock bugs. That patch is against Linux 2.2.3. If your kernel is different, you have to apply it by hand.
nfsd-2.2.3-1.patch is a new knfsd patch against linux 2.2.3 from "G. Allen Morris III" (firstname.lastname@example.com). It works for me on x86 and alpha. It is needed for the none-Linux NFS clients. You can get Allen's current patch from
nfsd-2.2.7-3.patch is based on nfsd-2.2.3-1.patch for Linux 2.2.7. If you use Linux 2.2.7, you should apply nfsd-2.2.7-3.patch instead of nfsd-2.2.3-1.patch. Please don't use any other patches included here for Linux 2.2.7. For other kernel versions, you may have to apply it by hand.
nfsd-2.2.7-lockd.patch is also necessary to start lockd independent of nfs and nfsd.
To compile, just do
# ./configure # make
Makefile will try to determine which C library you are using and compile this package accordingly.
# make install
will install the knfsd binaries. You have to install a knfs start up script by hand. There is a new rc.nfsd in etc. I use it for both the user-space nfsd and the kernel nfsd.
There is one RPM spec file, knfs.spec, which is for a Linux system based on Linux 2.2 without support for Linux 2.0. You also need knfsd-1.4.3.tar.gz to create the knfsd RPMs.

It's not often that brands are willing to share the mistakes that occurred during their social media campaigns, even though those are often the most valuable insights.
Therefore it was very refreshing to hear Radio France's head of digital marketing Virginie Cleve talk through a few of the things that didn't go to plan when the business embarked on a new social strategy.
Cleve was speaking at Socialbakers' Engage NYC event today where she revealed that the public broadcaster, which has more than 5m daily listeners and attracts 3.5m unique visitors per month to its website, redesigned its digital marketing strategy in 2011 with a new focus on editorial.
Radio France didn't have a large email database that it could use to promote the content, so instead decided to use social channels focusing primarily on Facebook.

Analysis of Facebook advertising performance in Q3 has found that the platform has improved across numerous key performance indicators (KPIs).
It comes off the back of a strong performance in Q2, when there were also improvements across the board compared to Q1.
The data from Kenshoo shows that CPC has dropped 9% in Q3 compared to Q2, while revenue per click (RPC) has increased 1.73x.
Similarly, the average conversion rate has increased 2.36x while revenue is up 2.16x.

Last click attribution models undervalue the contribution of Facebook ads by up to 30% in cross-channel advertising campaigns.
The last click attribution model, which credits the last ad clicked before a sale or other conversion with all the value for that conversion, is still widely used to measure the contribution of advertising.
However, a recent Kenshoo study focused on Facebook advertising helps expose its weaknesses.

Almost two-thirds of businesses (64%) increased their spending on online display advertising this year, while just 14% decreased their level of investment in this channel.
This marks a trend of increasing spend as the proportion of advertisers having increased their budgets for display advertising has gone up from 57% to 64% since 2009.
While this trend reflects the stabilised economy in 2013 compared to 2009, it also highlights increased confidence among advertisers and agencies that online display advertising is delivering value, largely driven by more efficient technology and better understanding of the channel's performance resulting from improved attribution.
The findings come from the new Econsultancy Online Advertisers Survey Report, published in association with Rubicon Project.

Throughout 2012 we saw speculations and rumours surrounding Facebook and its IPO. There have been plenty of doom and gloom predictions and Facebook itself has stayed tightlipped about how it is going to grow in the future.
So what's going to happen with Facebook and its billion users in the year to come?

Advances in International Management (AIM) is a research annual devoted to advancing the cross-border study of organizations and management practices from a global, regional, or comparative perspective, with emphasis on interdisciplinary inquiry that integrates ideas from multiple academic disciplines.
It publishes conceptual and empirical papers that deal with international topics from any area within the management field, including strategy, organization theory and behavior, human resource management, business ethics, entrepreneurship, technology management and others. The organizations studied can be domestic or multinational and the level of analysis can be macro or micro.
To be accepted for publication a paper must make a significant contribution to advancing knowledge about international management through some combination of new theoretical insights, managerial application, methodology or data.
AIM has a particular interest in publishing the following types of manuscripts:
(1) Comprehensive, state-of-the-art literature reviews that integrate diverse research streams and identify promising directions for future investigations
(2) Analytical essays that offer new conceptual models or theoretical perspectives and use these frameworks as a foundation for developing research propositions
(3) Empirical articles that report results from exploratory or hypothesis-testing studies based on quantitative and/or qualitative methodologies
(4) Methodological papers that refine existing methodologies or develop new ones for investigating particular issues or topics central to international management research.

My Publishing Journey #3: Stumbling Towards Success
In June 2007, I found two critique partners in my hometown. We met once a month to exchange constructive comments on each other's work.
Two of us signed up to attend a local conference. I was enthusiastic about my appointment with one agent who would be attending. She was a general market agent but had brokered a few CBA deals.
By the time the conference finally rolled around in April 2008, I was ALMOST finished with my novel.
Do not use an impending conference as a deadline to finish a novel draft.
Because if you stay up late at night finishing your draft the night before the conference, you may be in a slightly emotional state when your agent appointment rolls around.
Yes, it's true. I stayed up far past my bedtime finishing that novel. I didn't realize how sleep deprivation plus the emotional wallop of completing such a long project would affect me.
It wasn't the best pitch you've ever seen. Ha ha!
I knew what I was supposed to say, in theory, but when I actually made it to my place in front of the agent, I sensed that my general pitch might not be exactly what she wanted to hear.
"What else would you like to know?" I asked, staring at her like a deer in headlights.
"Tell me about your heroine and your hero."
"Well, they're both based on real people who lived in a small town in Ohio in 1854..."
So far, so good. But as I described these real people, I choked up and my eyes watered. I was overwhelmed by the realization that my long, solitary work was finished and it was finally time to share it with the world. I really, really loved these characters, and I couldn't believe I had made it to this point.
Fortunately, I recovered myself sufficiently that I didn't burst into a full sobbing fit during the pitch, but it was very embarrassing nonetheless.
The agent was nice enough to request a full manuscript. I was overjoyed! But I was also a little nervous. What if this agent made me an offer? I hadn't really clicked with her on a personal level. All sobbing aside, I sensed that our personalities probably were not a perfect match, and I knew nothing about how she would work with a client.
About a week later, my little family headed to California for the annual Pepperdine lectures. Before we bunked down for the night in a hotel room, I checked my email.
Lo and behold, an announcement from American Christian Fiction Writers (ACFW) had arrived in my inbox. A friendly fellow writer wanted to pass along a message from Rachelle Gardner, who had recently joined Wordserve Literary as an agent after many years as a high-level editor.
Rachelle was seeking quality manuscripts in my genre.
I immediately went online to investigate her credentials, and found that she was my dream agent. Her editorial background was superb. I could trust her to know good work from bad, and to care about quality as well as commercial appeal.
I wrote a really, really awful query letter in the darkness of that hotel room, while my family slept.
Oh, the pitch was OK, if not perfect. I presented my novel well.
It's the OTHER stuff that stunk to high heaven.
Some of it I can't confess even now, though you would howl with laughter if you heard it.
Here's just a teeny, weeny sample. In my ignorance, I told Rachelle that I really wanted her to be my agent, but that another agent already had my manuscript, and I was afraid she might take it before Rachelle could respond.
(Pause here while I simultaneously cringe and chuckle at my own foolishness.)
NOW, in hindsight, I know that publishing moves at a glacial pace, and that there was almost no chance that the other agent would have responded to me in a week, or even three weeks.
THEN, I was honestly filled with dread that the other agent would call me up, drooling over my manuscript, and I would miss my chance to sign with Rachelle, the agent I really wanted.
Double cringe.
Ever gracious, Rachelle said nothing about my faux pas at that time. After reviewing my query and sample, she requested that I send her a partial manuscript.
O frabous day! Calloo! Callay!
Despite NAIVE MOVES THE FIRST AND SECOND, I seemed to be headed in exactly the right direction.

I did the inside laugh thing while reading this whole post. Been there and done that on some of those. Second chances are good. ;)
I've heard countless positive things about Rachelle. I'm glad you've been blessed with such an agent.

Customizing SMF > Building Your Community and other Forum Advice
Good Idea or Not ???
I added a package that installed a chat room near the bottom of my forum. Do you think this was a good idea or should I start off without a chat room. I was using it as an incentive for people to want to stay on my board longer then 5 minutes or so.
http://www.creative-myspace.com/forums2 [nofollow]
Please give me some helpful advice on rather or not I should take it off.
Well it is really up to you, what you thin is right.
I think it is a good idea, as long as you keep it updated. It will keep the members interested.
Ultimately it is up to you if you keep it or not :)
I was thinking it was an alright idea. I'm still going to be using this forum soley for getting used to running a forum and learning more coding along the way. I beleive I have the intellgience though to become sucessful.
Thanks Once Again !!! :D
No Problem.
Thats how i started, with some pro-boards a year ago, and I have worked up since :D It is a good way.
Also a good software to mess around with so that you can learn PHP is use phpBB, you mostly manually install the mods, so try it :D
I have phpBB on my server that I'm hosted with. I was using their forums but I didn't like them too much. I might have what your talking about confused with something else. I'm not sure. I need a place where I can learn PHP easily with a tutorial that goes step by step basically and gives examples.

Do you count your general water intake?
does it really matter to count it?
does too much water decrease your perforance or cause brain damage? Ive heard storys of people drining too much water that results in death.
FACT not enough water decreases perforance. You'll release way more cortisol posttrainging AND your physical performance is down if not enough water is consumed.

Neither Sony Sony nor Microsoft Microsoft came out with any big surprises at gamescom this year.
There weren't many surprises for gamers from the big console makers' gamescom announcements today.
Perhaps the most welcome news was the price-cut for Sony's PS Vita, though the neatest looking "new" game from Sony was Shadow of the Beast.
We all remember Shadow of the Beast right? You know, the 1989 2D-side-sidescroller for the Commodore Amiga?
Okay, so you—like me—probably haven't heard of this game. Or rather, many of you haven't.
Some of you who do remember it are probably out googling the game right now and possibly even stumbling on this post.
Sony announced a re-imagined version of the game at gamescom today, and from what little we know and have seen it looks pretty awesome:
Beyond this and the PS Vita price-cut, not a whole lot of really new or exciting stuff from Sony's gamescom conference today.
A handful of new or sort-of new indies, some exclusive content for cross-platform titles, but nothing really groundbreaking. Minecraft was a bit of a surprise since Microsoft had been touting it as an Xbox One game, but you can already play Minecraft on various platforms.
Perhaps my excitement is dulled simply never having fallen prey to that particular vice.
The potential for cross-play between the PS4 and the Vita is pretty neat, and it's good to hear that this is going to be supported on "almost all" PS4 titles.
But again, this isn't exactly news though it was kind of neat to see it in action on both PS4 and Vita with Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag:
(As a side note: Dear Ubisoft, please make combat and stealth as fun and challenging as naval warfare in your next Assassin's Creed game and/or just start making awesome naval warfare sims.)
In their own series of announcements, Microsoft came out with some new details on its indie-publishing program, which largely looks to be a welcome step forward for the company and its next-gen platform—though Sony has spent the past few years edging out their top rival in the indie space.
And finally, Sony announced a launch date for the PS4 which, while nice to know, is the kind of news that you know you're going to find out sooner or later. One day is basically as good as the next. We'll likely hear Microsoft's own launch date soon enough. If I had to bet, I'd shoot for November 5th, when Call of Duty: Ghosts is slated to launch.
What I really wanted to hear was one particular, theoretical announcement that never came: that Demon's Souls 2 was coming to PS4 and PS Vita as a Sony exclusive.
That would have been huge news. With rumors of the game always floating about these days, I thought gamescom might be the big reveal. No, I didn't actually think or expect it, but a wishing side of me was still hoping.
Alas, such is not the case. But at least Shadow of the Beast looks like a fun combat-oriented title.
More information on games like Deep Down from Capcom would have also been welcome, but we were treated mostly to titles we've heard a lot about already like Watchdogs and Assassin's Creed.
Looking at both the Microsoft and Sony pressers this gamescom, I can't pick a clear winner. (And since this is a war, we need a winner!)
This in stark contrast to Sony's runaway victory at E3. Microsoft's policy changes have been a balm for the system, allowing them to focus squarely on the games rather than defending policies consumers have seen as draconian and unfair.
Fable Legends is probably my game of the morning thanks to its clever trailer and the potential for really fun cooperative play—if, that is, Lionhead gets its groove back.
P.S. Some commenters have pointed out that the release of a bundled FIFA 14 with all Xbox One pre-orders in Europe is a big deal—and I agree. You can read about that here.
Boo. No Demon Souls 2. I have never been more disappointed to not hear about a game that probably does not exist.
Anyone that knows a damn thing about games knows that if they announced Demon Souls 2, it would happen at TGS, not Gamescom.
I've been addicted to gaming since I was around 7 yet I have no idea why you said what you've just said. I'd bet I'm not the only one either. So calm down.
Demons Souls 2 – you pretty much nailed that one. If they had announced it, it would have been epic.
Darksouls is like Demon Souls 2 and is already out…. Darksouls 2 is being worked on ATM, So I don't see why they would announce Demons Souls 2 that would be a dumb…
dumb as in they wouldn't be focused on their current game at hand
Actually no, it wouldn't. Dark Souls 2 is a multi-platform game slated for release March of next year. Sony owns the Demon Souls IP, which means they would retain exclusivity. They're effectively two different series now.

With new high output LED's and adjustable brightness, the I-Bar makes the perfect compact task light. Able to fold away to a slim nothing, the sleek size lets you bring adjustable light to even the most space-challenged places. When fully extended, the slim body stays unobtrusive while expertly lighting you desk or table. With the LED's long life, you don't need to constantly toss out old light bulbs or mercury laden fluorescent bulbs anymore, and the low heat and lack of breakable glass means less "ouch" potential. Available in two sizes. Features:
Material(s): Aluminum, Plastic Dimensions: 17.8"H X 35.1"extension; 9"D Base Lamp Type: LED Bulbs: Table: 1 X 9W LED array (included) Listing: UL, CUL Manufacturer Specifications: Specifications Sheet 1, Specifications Sheet 2 Model(s): HL1001DMBK HL1001WMBK Koncept LightingWith years of experience in manufacturing and industrial design, the founders established Koncept Lighting in Fall 2002 to design and develop innovative products for home and business. Since then, the company has developed a line of elegant LED desk lamps that are gaining national attention. Koncept Lighting's flagship product, the Z-Bar LED desk lamp, has been featured in number of media including U.S. News & World Report, Samsung's DigitAll Magazine etc. In 2006, it won "Best of Category" in International Design Magazine's 2006 Annual Design Review in the category of Furniture and was selected into Die Neue Sammlung's permanent collection. The Annual Design Review is America's largest design competition, and Die Neue Sammlung is Europe's largest museum of modern everyday objects of exemplary design, comparable only to the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In 2007, Time Magazine named the Z-Bar LED desk lamp one of "The Best Inventions Of The Year" and was titled "a green light", basing on the fact that the Z-Bar generates little heat and has a long lifespan compared to traditional lamps. Since then Koncept Lighting has introduced the Z-Bar High Power, which uses higher wattage LEDs to achieve even more energy saving, longer lifespan, and more light output. The Koncept Lighting goal is to continue to design innovative products that set high standards in the industry and more importantly, make your life safer, simpler and greener. Write a Review
Customer Reviews
This is a nice simple clean desk lamp. Various reviews of earlier models of the same underlying style by the same manufacturer indicate the lamp is not bright enough. I agreed at first until I the enclosed card and this lamp has 4 brightness levels which are controlled by a + and - switch. Upon turning on, the lowest level of lighting is achieved. Since it is a desk lamp, I would prefer if the brightest level was the default and the user could then taper down – not too much of an issue. It is definitely bright enough for me. The light bar connects like a head phone jack so it can be turned 360 degrees - very nice. The quality of light is a little different, not quite used to it. I got the "day" version. A little too bluish perhaps. Tolerable. Worth considering given price. Build quality is very good relative to price. Yes I am a renter, does that invalidate my opininion? PS, love the ylighting website! By:BB-SF , Renter (SF Bay Area)
THe product is awesome!

This light I bought will work beautifully enhancing my table display of the miniature silverware that I sell at fairs By:Sandra V. , Homeowner (Doha, Qatar)
Great task lamp with multiple settings
The I-Bar High Power LED is versatile, stylish and extremely cool looking. I like the clean design and I'm pleased to see the lamp puts out controlled and even lighting. The head swivels, the flat circular base swivels and the arm is adjustable, so it adapts to multiple locations easily. I'm very happy with my choice. By:J.C. , Designer (Marin County)
Attractive from afar. A little harsh up close.
This lamp although beautiful in its basic design does not function as well as it might for me. The parts slip a bit and will not hold themselves at, for example the Z shape I would like. Instead the top member consistently droops a bit under it's own weight when I let it go. The color temperature of the lamp, although fine during the day is, for my tastes much to cold after the blue sky has turned dark. By:Christopher R. , Designer (NYC)
Modern with simple lines and super functional.
I love the look and feel of this desk lamp. It's constructed well and has 4 light settings. I like that it swivels horizontally and vertically so it truly provides task lighting exactly where I need it. The base is about 9 inches in diameter so it takes up a lot of room on my desk and, if my desk was not built-in and flush with the walls along 3 sides, I would have perhaps used the table clamp instead of the base.

Division of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources • Oklahoma State University NREM-2878 Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Fact Sheets are also available on our website at: http://osufacts.okstate.edu Introduction Four conditions are necessary for fire to assume ecological importance: (1) an accumulation of organic matter, i.e. fuel either herbaceous or woody, sufficient enough to burn; (2) dry weather conditions to render the material combustible; (3) a landscape conducive to the spread of fire; and (4) a source of ignition. The only two important sources of ignition are humans and lightning. Historically, Native Americans had a much greater role in establishing fire on the landscape than did lightning. The purpose of using prescribed fire (of which we have control) is to reestablish one of the three key ecosystem drivers on the landscape. The other two drivers are herbivory (of which we have control) and climate (of which we have no control). One goal of all management plans should be to restore ecosystem process such as photosynthesis and decomposition. These processes facilitate energy flow, nutrient cycling, water cycling, etc. Research has shown that there is no substitute for fire in restoring ecosystems. A fire prescription is a set of conditions under which a fire will be set to meet land management objectives. It is based on scientific research and experience. The purpose of this fact sheet is to provide recommendations for developing fire prescriptions. Specific recommendations must be customized for the particular piece of land in question. There are many possible fire prescriptions and vegetation responses. Many factors affect vegetation response (i.e. habitat) after a prescribed fire or wildfire. These include weather, stage of plant succession, fuel load, topography, soil type, and previous management. In order to select a starting point for fire prescription development, select the dominant native vegetation type on the land in question (e.g. tallgrass prairie, oak-pine forest, etc.). There are 15 major native vegetation types in Oklahoma, based on the Duck and Fletcher survey map of 1943. This and other useful information are included in the Field Guide to Oklahoma Plants available from Oklahoma State University's Rangeland Ecology and Management Program at 405.744.6421. Another essential reference for establishing vegetation management goals is an Ecological Site Guide available from Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) offices located throughout Oklahoma. An ecological site guide lists the plants and approximate proportions plus other important information relevant to the site. Fire Prescriptions The most frequently asked question is "Under what conditions should I burn?" First, determine your management goals and objectives. Then develop a fire prescription based on the unit of land in question. The following range of prescription variables have been used successfully in Oklahoma and surrounding states for different objectives (Table 1). These prescriptions may require specialized personnel, tactics, training, equipment, and firebreaks. Execution of some fire prescriptions requires specialized training and is inherently more risky than "normal" prescriptions (Table 2). We suggest consultation with a fire management specialist to develop a customized fire prescription that will meet your objectives. General Guidelines Rule 1. For those in the process of learning to burn or with limited experience, use the 60:40 Rule. The 60:40 rule states that you burn with an air temperature of less than Terrence G.

Syria's chemical-weapons arsenal has rightly galvanized international attention. The chemical attacks against civilians have prompted Russia and the United States to put aside diplomatic tensions to devise a plan to eliminate the Syrian regime's stockpiles. And the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), which has been tasked with executing the Russian-US plan, has just been awarded this year's Nobel Peace Prize.
