It can be really helpful have a full set of tools that can allow you to manage and control information related to SEO projects.
I had the chance to talk with Michael Jensen and Aaron Stewart of Solo SEO while at Pubcon a couple of weeks back, and offer some input and suggestions on their new SEO project managment software, which launched today. They already had a nice set of tools aimed at helping someone working on an SEO project collect information about their efforts, and track those carefully. But they were also willing to take notes, and listen carefully to some new ideas.
Andy Beal describes a number of the features that they offer with their Solo SEO software, and Michael Jensen talks about it more in their blog – Announcing SoloSEO.com, a new SEO Project Management solution.
I don't normally write about products and software here, but I'm making an exception in this case because the creators of this software have shown that they are paying attention to what people within the industry are asking for, and that they are listening. And, there are some nice tools included here that make the management of SEO projects easier.
There's a free two week demo for the software. If you try it, I'd be interested in hearing what you think.

Ball Screw Products
Ball Screws for a Variety of Applications
Ball screws assemblies offer an efficient means of converting rotary motion to linear motion. A ball screw is an improvement over an acme screw just as an antifriction ball bearing is an improvement over a plain bushing. Precision ball screws have a number of bearing balls that transfer the load between the nut and screw. The thread form in which the bearing balls ride is an ogival shape formed from two arcs of the same radius with offset centers. This form is also referred to as a gothic arch.

Jacks, Jags Battle To 1-1 Tie
BROOKINGS, SD -- The South Dakota State women's soccer team battled the elements in a 1-1 (2 OT) tie versus IUPUI on Friday night at Fishback Soccer Park...
The two teams competed in poor weather conditions, as the wind gusted up to 30 miles per hour and temperatures dropped below 50 degrees.
Playing into the wind, SDSU surrendered the first goal of the game in the 16th minute. The Jaguar forward controlled a loose ball in the box and finished to the corner of the goal.
Despite holding a significant advantage in shots (7-3) and shots on goal (3-1), the Jacks trailed 1-0 at the half. SDSU took two corner kicks to one for IUPUI. SDSU was whistled for three fouls and one offsides, while IUPUI was whistled for four fouls and one offsides.
Diana Potterveld, Megan Kingston and Stacy Guijarro led the Jackrabbit attack with one shot on goal apiece.
After pressuring for nearly the entire second half, the Jackrabbits finally broke through in the 79th minute. Diana Potterveld dribbled down the right side and crossed the ball into the box, past two defenders, to an open Christa Nyblom. Nyblom struck the ball to the lower corner of the net and past the goalkeeper to tie the score at 1-1.
Both teams defended a final attack by the other to keep the game tied.
Regulation ended in a 1-1 tie.
SDSU dominated regulation offensively with the advantage in shots (19-2), shots on goal (10-1) and corner kicks (8-1). SDSU was whistled for nine fouls and two offsides, while IUPUI was whistled for five fouls and one offsides.
Dani Patterson led the Jackrabbit attack with three shots, all on goal. Potterveld and Kingston registered two shots on goal each.
SDSU played the first overtime with the wind, but was unable to find the game-winning goal. SDSU attempted two shots in the first overtime, one on goal. IUPUI did not attempt a shot in the first overtime.
The Jackrabbit defense stood tall in the second overtime, fighting off numerous attacks by the Jaguars.
The game ended in a 1-1 tie.
SDSU moves to 2-9-2 overall, 0-3-1 in The Summit League.
IUPUI moves to 2-11-2, 0-2-2 in conference play.
The Jacks return to action on Sunday versus Western Illinois. Game time is set for 1 p.m. at Fishback Soccer Park.

I purchased this die to make boxes for valentines day, but I have already used it to make a birthday box for my friend, and I have many ideas for more. I developed some of my own techniques after making a couple, such as covering the bottom, inserting it from the inside, and then cutting another from dp to adhere from the outside. It looks neater than attaching from the outside, and makes the box stronger for items such as jelly beans.

Robinson Crusoe's parents want him to become a lawyer but Crusoe is determined to become a sailor. He leaves home without his parents' blessing and works hard to become a good sailor.
He shows great courage when he escapes from his Turkish master. He ensures he has guns and food before he escapes. When he is shipwrecked on a deserted island, Crusoe overcomes great
obstacles to survive. He struggles alone in order to carry food, equipment and other materials from the ship so that he can make a life for himself until he is rescued. He builds two homes, a raft and a canoe. He is also able to make tools and plant enough food for himself and his companions. He shows great courage when he saves Friday, Friday's father, the Spaniard
and the second English sea captain. He does all this at the risk of being captured and eaten by the cannibals!
It is important to work hard as this makes you disciplined and successful in life. Robinson Crusoe is a good example of a man who is fearless, positive and hard-working. Instead of complaining about his fate, he looks at the situation and does what is needed to make the situation
better. For example, he salvages useful items from the sinking ship, makes a canoe and safe shelters for himself, and hunt for food. He creates a comfortable life for himself and is able to survive on the island for twenty-eight years.
Friendship and Loyalty
Humans need friendship and good relationships with others. When Crusoe runs away to London, he makes friends with a ship's captain who grows to like and trust him. He teaches
Crusoe mathematics and navigation until Crusoe becomes a good sailor. Crusoe is a friendly and sociable person. The captain invites Crusoe to go with him to Guinea, thus starting Crusoe's involvement in business and sailing. Crusoe also makes many friends while farming in Brazil.
When Crusoe gets shipwrecked on the island, he is desolate and miserable. Deprived of human company, he finds comfort and companionship with two dogs he rescues from the shipwreck,
the parrot and the cats. During his twenty-fifth year on the island, he manages to
save a savage from a group of cannibals who land on the island. This man is so grateful that he wants to be Crusoe's slave. However, Crusoe prefers him to be a friend. Crusoe teaches
him to eat animal flesh, speak English and share his religious beliefs. Friday, as Crusoe calls him, becomes his faithful companion and friend. Crusoe also becomes a friend to the Spanish and English mutineers who were left on the island. He solves their disputes and helps them to form friendships with each other.
Relationship with Nature
Humans are part of Nature and, therefore, should live and work harmony with Nature. Crusoe is a man at peace with Nature. He loves the sea and the outdoors. So when he is marooned
on the island and finds himself alone with only Nature as his companion, he adapts easily.
He is quick to use things from Nature to help him survive. He uses the trees and plants to build himself a canoe and homes, ant to provide him with food.
Sub-Themes / Minor Themes
Friday is dedicated to Crusoe, the man who saves him from being eaten by the cannibals.
The second English ship's captain is grateful to Crusoe for rescuing him from the mutineers.
Power and Control
Crusoe lives on the deserted island for twenty-eight years. He makes it his comfortable home. He has control over Nature there. During his rescue of Friday, he kills a cannibal. A grateful Friday is willing to be his slave. Crusoe teaches Friday to speak in English and about his religious beliefs. Thus, Crusoe has power over Friday. Crusoe is viewed as owner and lord of the island. Crusoe is also able to bring peace between the Spanish and the English living on the island. He divides the island between the two groups and this proves his control over the island and its inhabitants.
Faith in God
Robinson Crusoe has great faith in God. He does not give up hope when he is shipwrecked and finds himself all alone on a deserted island. His faith that God will sustain him
through the many trials in life keeps him going. Crusoe says, 'All… God for an answer." (p. 41, para. 3) Crusoe's strong belief in God is also seen when he teaches Friday about the goodness and power that comes with having faith in God.
Good versus Evil
Robinson Crusoe shows that good triumphs over evil when he helps Friday to escape from the cannibals. Crusoe also teaches Friday about God's goodness and how it triumphs over the Devil's evilness. The mutineers who are disloyal to their captain are finally overcome by the 'good' forces of Crusoe and Friday.

TVC necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 26 diseños de 8 diseñadores freelance.
I'm an entreprenuer starting a new business called AutoPitch.com. I have been working on the web since 1996. I have a pretty good grasp of what I want, but I love getting all of the different perspectives and mockups from 99designs.
For anyone looking to buy a new/used car on AutoPitch.com.
I want to take the order form here:
- Click on this link: http://www.AutoPitch.com/index-new.php
- Fill out a year, make and model: http://www.screencast.com/users/maz…176bf5a96b
- Which will bring you to the form I would like redesigned.
I would like the new Order Form to look like the one on http://www.audible.com:
- http://www.screencast.com/users/maz…31fa2206ed
- http://www.screencast.com/users/maz…e4ab7c9516
So if you look at the order form on AutoPitch you will see a set of icons that pops up with some text. I would like that text and icons to just be on the left of the order form (similar to audible.com order form). We can use the same icons I am currently using or we can use new icons. Whatever looks best.
Also, if you open the order form on Autopitch and click on the first form field, you will see a comment box appear to the right of the form fields. I need to keep those in there, so please try to incorporate that into your design so it all fits.
Please just put questions in the comment box and I will answer them. I will be traveling on Tuesday April 13th, so i will be somewhat unresponsive that day. But other days I will respond quickly.

Water for Food Conference Ends with Call to 'Think Big'
Humanity is in a "race against time" to produce enough food to feed itself, hampered by a false sense of comfort that set in over the last few decades when food supplies generally outpaced demand, said a University of Nebraska-Lincoln agronomist who's one of the world's leading experts on feeding the world.
Ken Cassman was one of several who reflected Friday on the final day of the fourth annual global Water for Food Conference, hosted by the Robert B. Daugherty Foundation at the University of Nebraska and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
"We really are in a race against time … and humanity doesn't realize it," said Cassman, Robert B. Daugherty Professor of Agronomy at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
Cassman said the last 40 years or so have been a historical anomaly in much of the world, with food production so great that scientists like him were looking for other ways to use food crops. With the world's population projected to increase from 7 billion to 9 billion by 2050, and with limited land and water available, attention now is focused on how to increase food production.
The next 5-10 years are critical to grasp the scope of the crisis and develop the tools to address it, Cassman said. Among other things, scientists must get a handle on how much each existing hectare of farmland can produce. A global yield gap atlas, which Cassman is helping develop, is one tool to gather that information. It will determine and make public the gap between existing and potential yield on any piece of cropland in the world.
"We need to think big," urged Prem Paul, UNL vice chancellor for research and economic development. Research will be critical and two new NU entities – the Water for Food Institute and the Nebraska Innovation Campus, a public-private partnership at UNL – can play major roles.
The 9 billion population number is only a projection, several speakers during the conference noted. Many expect population growth to slow significantly at that point, and others note that societal changes could change the 2050 estimate. One such change could be empowerment of women in developing countries, said Simi Kamal, chief executive officer of the Pakistan-based Hisaar Foundation.
Kamal, who led a Thursday panel discussion on Women, Water and Food, noted that women provide much of the agricultural labor in the world but are not involved in leadership. Educated, empowered women have more choices in life, may not marry as young or have as many children as poor women do.
Cassman's, Paul's and Kamal's comments came in a closing panel discussion moderated by Roberto Lenton, founding executive director of the Daugherty Institute.
More than 550 people from 28 nations registered for the conference to discuss the research, education and policy implications of feeding the growing population.
Earlier Friday, the 40th anniversary of Nebraska's unique system of natural resources districts was noted in a celebration led by Ronnie Green, NU vice president and Harlan vice chancellor of the university's Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources.
Nebraska's 23 NRDs are governed by locally elected boards and have local taxing authority, making them attuned and responsive to local needs and challenges, said Ann Bleed, retired director of the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources. That's important in a state where the challenges of managing water are magnified by extreme variabilities in precipitation amounts, soil conditions and other factors from border to border, added Bleed, who moderated panel discussions covering water governance in Nebraska and Brazil.

As reported in a thousand newspaper articles, a million blog posts, and seemingly a billion edtech tweets, Microsoft have now bought MinecraftEdu, the, well, education version of Minecraft. They seem happy, TeacherGaming seem happy, edtech commentators and journalists have something to write about, and future uses of Minecraft in schools especially seem more likely.
As the website now says:
Microsoft will release an entirely new version of the game called Minecraft: Education Edition that will have many features inspired by MinecraftEdu. Microsoft will also use their impressive resources and reach to bring Minecraft into far more classrooms than ever before. We believe that Minecraft's educational potential has barely been explored and that there are exciting times ahead.
THE journal digs a little deeper on this and mentions the enhancement of OneNote to make development within Minecraft a little smoother. Which sounds like a good thing; one of the enduring problems with game, simulation and virtual world use in classrooms is the fragmented timetable, and lesson blocks of an hour or even less. The pupil or student needs to be up and quickly progressing with something on-point, relevant and constructive, rather than spending a significant proportion of each lesson block undergoing initialization routines, or using laborious tools and routines that suck time away from useful activity.
How will Minecraft sit within the roll-call of digital games, environments and simulations used within education?
Thankfully, we should be getting a clearer picture by now. The early days of speculation-oriented writing on the use of this specific technology have given way to an increasing proportion of articles, papers and reports containing data of Minecraft use in formal and informal learning situations. I'm looking forward to seeing quality research and meta-analysis of these works over the next few years.

oh right? Needless to say, I haven't blogged since December and lots has happened since then. Not only did we find out we were having a BOY, but we HAD that baby boy. I told a friend of mine that I was determined to revive the blog when I was on maternity leave. One week in, HERE I AM.
so in a half hearted attempt to catch up, see my adorable now family of 4. (In my defense, i tried 4 times to do catch up from the last 6 months in pictures but things kept happening and deleting my pictures so i just assumed it was a sign and am going with the last week and a half.)
Induction day: June 15th, 5:30am. (4 days early from due date)
1:40 PM, Baby Boy arrives! (Nameless at this point.)

Bond Set for Suspect in Stabbing of UI Professor
Bond has been set at $500,000 for a Fithian man arrested in connection with the stabbing of a University of Illinois law professor.
Joshua Scaggs, 23, faces attempted murder and aggravated battery charges in connection with the attack of Dhammika Dharmapala, 41, of Champaign. The incident occurred shortly before 6 AM on Wednesday in the Amtrak waiting area of the Illinois Terminal Building.
According to a witness account given to Champaign Police, both Dharmapala and the suspect were sitting in the Amtrak waiting area, when the suspect jumped up and shouted that this was his country. He then attacked Dharmapala, grabbing him around the neck. The witness then intervened, pulling the suspect away, and discovering he had stabbed his victim in the neck with a utility knife. Champaign County State's Attorney Julie Rietz said other witnesses stepped forward to keep the situation under control until police arrived.
Dharmapala was taken to Carle Hospital in Urbana, but no information was available on his condition as of Thursday morning. At Scaggs' arraignment in Champaign County Court Thursday afternoon, he appeared via video conference, surrounded by correctional officers.
Scaggs' attorney, Baku Patel of Urbana, has requested that his client undergo mental and physical evaluations. Authorities say he's locked in isolation at the county's satellite jail.
University of Illinois President Michael Hogan wrote in an email to faculty and students said that university was "deeply saddened" by the stabbing, and expressed gratitude for those who intervened.
Champaign Police had originally included hate crime charges in their arrest of Scaggs. But Champaign County State's Attorney Julia Rietz said they would not prosecute him on that charge. She said the attempted murder and aggravated battery charges actually carry stiffer penalties than the hate crime charge. However, Rietz noted that "the underlying motive for the offense will be taken into account as the case moves forward."
Meanwhile, the Council on American-Islamic Relations called for federal civil rights charges to be filed against Scaggs. In a news release, the organization stated that Dharmapala is not Muslim, but was singled out due to his perceived ethnicity. CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper stated, "our society must begin to address the rising level of anti-Muslim sentiment that can lead to such disturbing incidents."
Scaggs is due back in court on Dec. 15th.

This page only contains information about running games and related system configuration tips. For lists of popular games for GNU/Linux see List of games.
Game environments
Different environments exist to play games in Linux:
- Native – Games written for Linux.
- Browser – you need only browser and Internet connection to play these types of games.
- Specialized environments (software emulators) – – Required for running software designed for other architectures or systems, (Heed the copyright laws of your country!). Check the list of emulators for more details.
- Wine – allows running of some Windows games, as well as a large amount of Windows software. Performance in Wine varies, the additional CPU overhead will cause slowdown in some games while in some cases games may run faster. Consult Wine AppDB for game-specific compatibility information.
- Crossover Games – members of the Codeweavers team are prime supporters of Wine. Using Crossover Games makes the installation & setting up of some games easier, more reliable & even possible, when compared to using other methods. Crossover is a paid commercial product, which also provides a forum where the developers are very much involved in the community.
- DOSBox is a minimal virtual machine which runs a full DOS-compatible environment. It can be used to run classic DOS titles.
- scummvm is an all-in-one engine reimplementation of many classic point-and-click adventure games. A full list of compatible titles can be found on the ScummVM website.
- Similar to ScummVM, engine reimplementations exist for specific titles, such as Doom.
- Virtual machines can be used to install compatible operating systems (such as Windows). VirtualBox has good 3D support. As an extension of this, if you have compatible hardware you can consider VGA passthrough to a Windows KVM guest, keyword is "virtual function I/O" (VFIO), or PCI passthrough via OVMF.
Getting games
A good number are available in the official repositories or in the AUR. Loki provides installers for several games.
Digital distribution
- Desura — Digital distribution platform featuring indie games. It can be considered good source of games (if you do not care about security and bugs too much).
- http://www.desura.com/ || desuraAUR
- Steam — Famous digital distribution and communications platform developed by Valve. It has a large library with over 1000 Linux games. These include popular titles like Dota 2, Counter Strike: Global Offensive, Team Fortress 2, several AAA games, and lots of indie titles.
- http://store.steampowered.com || steam
- Steam under Linux.
- See linux-games catalog.
- Not all Steam titles are native, some are packaged to run using Wine.
- The Humble Store
- itch.io — Indie game store.
- https://itch.io/ || itchAUR
- The lgogdownloaderAUR package can be used to download GOG titles from the command line.
- GOG.com only officially supports Ubuntu and Linux Mint. Bear this in mind if requesting support from them; you will not get a refund if you are having trouble running games on Arch.
- Many GOG.com titles come pre-packaged with DOSBox, ScummVM or Wine.
Several huge Flash games portals exists, among them are:
- Lots of games smaller than 4kb (some are real masterpieces of game design) can be found at http://www.java4k.com.
- https://www.pogo.com/ – biggest casual Java gaming portal
- The Java Game Tome - huge database of primarily casual games
- Centralized source of information about running games (and other applications) in Wine is Wine AppDB.
- See also Category:Wine.
It is recommended (especially for beginners) to use playonlinux, which pulls all necessary dependencies during installation, automatically downloads Windows tools at first start-up to configure and set-up native windows applications to launch properly. For more information, see Official Website.
Running games
Certain games or game types may need special configuration to run or to run as expected. For the most part, games will work right out of the box in Arch Linux with possibly better performance than on other distributions due to compile time optimizations. However, some special setups may require a bit of configuration or scripting to make games run as smoothly as desired.
Multi-screen setups
Running a multi-screen setup may lead to problems with fullscreen games. In such a case, running a second X server is one possible solution. Another solution may be found in the NVIDIA article (may also apply to non-NVIDIA users).
Keyboard grabbing
Many games grab the keyboard, noticeably preventing you from switching windows (also known as alt-tabbing).
Some SDL games (e.g. Guacamelee) let you disable grabbing by pressing
You can also download sdl-nokeyboardgrabAUR[broken link: archived in aur-mirror] to gain the ability to use keyboard commands while in SDL games. If you wish to turn it up to 11, you can disable keyboard grabbing at X11 level using libx11-nokeyboardgrabAUR, or with more fine-grained control with libx11-ldpreloadnograbAUR[broken link: archived in aur-mirror] using the
LD_PRELOAD environment variable to run applications with particular grab prevention. Wine/lib32 users should also look at the respective lib32 libraries.
Starting games in a separate X server
In some cases like those mentioned above, it may be necessary or desired to run a second X server. Running a second X server has multiple advantages such as better performance, the ability to "tab" out of your game by using
Ctrl+Alt+F8, no crashing your primary X session (which may have open work on) in case a game conflicts with the graphics driver. The new X server will be akin a remote access login for the ALSA, so your user need to be part of the
audio group to be able to hear any sound.
To start a second X server (using the free first person shooter game Xonotic as an example) you can simply do:
$ xinit /usr/bin/xonotic-glx -- :1 vt$XDG_VTNR
This can further be spiced up by using a separate X configuration file:
$ xinit /usr/bin/xonotic-glx -- :1 -xf86config xorg-game.conf vt$XDG_VTNR
A good reason to provide an alternative xorg.conf here may be that your primary configuration makes use of NVIDIA's Twinview which would render your 3D games like Xonotic in the middle of your multiscreen setup, spanned across all screens. This is undesirable, thus starting a second X with an alternative config where the second screen is disabled is advised.
A game starting script making use of Openbox for your home directory or
/usr/local/bin may look like this:
if [ $# -ge 1 ]; then game="$(which $1)" openbox="$(which openbox)" tmpgame="/tmp/tmpgame.sh" DISPLAY=:1.0 echo -e "${openbox} &\n${game}" > ${tmpgame} echo "starting ${game}" xinit ${tmpgame} -- :1 -xf86config xorg-game.conf || exit 1 else echo "not a valid argument" fi
So after a
chmod +x you would be able to use this script like:
$ ~/game.sh xonotic-glx
Adjusting mouse detections
For games that require exceptional amount of mouse skill, adjusting the mouse polling rate can help improve accuracy.
Mouse focus in GNOME
The 'sloppy' and 'mouse' window-focusing modes in GNOME are known to cause issues with a variety of games, causing a 'click-through' effect. Users can remedy this problem by switching the focus mode to 'click' (with a tool such as gnome-tweak-tool), playing in a different desktop environment, or spawing their game in a separate X-session.
Binaural Audio with OpenAL
For games using OpenAL, if you use headphones you may get much better positional audio using OpenAL's HRTF filters. To enable, run the following command:
echo "hrtf = true" >> ~/.alsoftrc
Alternatively, install openal-hrtfAUR from the AUR, and edit the options in /etc/openal/alsoftrc.conf
For Source games, the ingame setting `dsp_slow_cpu` must be set to `1` to enable HRTF, otherwise the game will enable its own processing instead. You will also either need to set up Steam to use native runtime, or link its copy of openal.so to your own local copy. For completeness, also use the following options:
dsp_slow_cpu 1 # Disable in-game spatialiazation snd_spatialize_roundrobin 1 # Disable spatialization 1.0*100% of sounds dsp_enhance_stereo 0 # Disable DSP sound effects. You may want to leave this on, if you find it does not interfere with your perception of the sound effects. snd_pitchquality 1 # Use high quality sounds
Tuning Pulseaudio
If you are using PulseAudio, you may wish to tweak some default settings to make sure it is running optimally.
Enabling realtime priority and negative nice level
Pulseaudio is built to be run with realtime priority, being an audio daemon. However, because of security risks of it locking up the system, it is scheduled as a regular thread by default. To adjust this, first make sure you are in the
audio group. Then, uncomment and edit the following lines in
high-priority = yes nice-level = -11
realtime-scheduling = yes realtime-priority = 5
and restart pulseaudio.
Using higher quality remixing for better sound
Pulseaudio on Arch uses speex-float-0 by default to remix channels, which is considered a 'medium-low' quality remixing. If your system can handle the extra load, you may benefit from setting it to one of the following instead:
resample-method = speex-float-10
Matching hardware buffers to Pulse's buffering
Matching the buffers can reduce stuttering and increase performance marginally. See here for more details.
Double check your CPU frequency scaling settings
If your system is currently configured to properly insert its own cpu frequency scaling driver, the system sets the default governor to Ondemand. By default, this governor only adjusts the clock if the system is utilizing 95% of its CPU, and then only for a very short period of time. This saves power and reduces heat, but has a noticeable impact on performance. You can instead only have the system downclock when it is idle, by tuning the system governor. To do so, see Cpufrequtils#Improving on-demand performance[broken link: invalid section].
Improving framerates and responsiveness with scheduling policies
Most every game can benefit if given the correct scheduling policies for the kernel to prioritize the task. However, without the help of a daemon, this rescheduling would have to be carried out manually or through the use of several daemons for each policy. These policies should ideally be set per-thread by the application itself, but not all developers implement these policies. There are several methods for getting them to work anyway:
For Wine programs
wine-rtAUR is a patched version of Wine that implements scheduling policies on a per-thread basis, using the equivalent of what the Windows developers had intended the threads to be run at. The default patch is more oriented towards professional audio users, and tends to be too heavy-handed of an approach for gaming. You may instead wish to use this patch, which also includes nice levels and uses more than one policy decision. Be warned that it uses
SCHED_ISO, which is only properly implemented on Linux-ck, and will simply renice
THREAD_PRIORITY_ABOVE_NORMAL threads if your system does not support it.
wine-staging versions 1.9.5 and before incorporate the CSMT patchset which provides better performance for 3D accelerated games. The patchset has been disabled as of 1.9.6 pending an upstream update to the patch and incorporation into the main Wine source tree, so you will need to compile version 1.9.5 of wine-staging yourself if you wish to take advantage of this.
For everything else
For programs which do not implement scheduling policies on their own, one tool known as schedtool, and its associated daemon schedtooldAUR can handle many of these tasks automatically.
To edit what programs relieve what policies, simply edit
/etc/schedtoold.conf and add the program followed by the schedtool arguments desired.
First and foremost, setting the scheduling policy to
SCHED_ISO will not only allow the process to use a maximum of 80 percent of the CPU, but will attempt to reduce latency and stuttering wherever possible.
SCHED_ISO requires Linux-ck to operate, as it has only been implemented in that kernel. Linux-ck itself provides a hefty latency reduction, and should ideally be installed
Most if not all games will benefit from this:
bit.trip.runner -I
For users not using Linux-ck,
SCHED_FIFO provides an alternative, that can even work better. You should test to see if your applications run more smoothly with
SCHED_FIFO, in which case by all means use it instead. Be warned though, as
SCHED_FIFO runs the risk of starving the system! Use this in cases where -I is used below:
bit.trip.runner -F -p 15
Nice levels
Secondly, the nice level sets which tasks are processed first, in ascending order. A nice level of -4 is reccommended for most multimedia tasks, including games:
bit.trip.runner -n -4
Core affinity
There is some confusion in development as to whether the driver should be multithreading, or the program. In any case where they both attempt it, it causes drops in framerate and crashes. Examples of this include a number of modern games, and any Wine program which is running without GLSL disabled. To select a single core and allow only the driver to handle this process, simply use the
-a 0x# flag, where # is the core number, e.g.:
bit.trip.runner -a 0x1
uses first core. Some CPUs are hyperthreaded and have only 2 or 4 cores but show up as 4 or 8, and are best accounted for:
bit.trip.runner -a 0x5
which use virtual cores 0101, or 1 and 3.
General case
For most games which require high framerates and low latency, usage of all of these flags seems to work best. Affinity should be checked per-program, however, as most native games can understand the correct usage. For a general case:
bit.trip.runner -I -n -4 Amnesia.bin64 -I -n -4 hl2.exe -I -n -4 -a 0x1 #Wine with GLSL enabled
Optimus, and other helping programs
As a general rule, any other process which the game requires to operate should be reniced to a level above that of the game itself. Strangely, Wine has a problem known as reverse scheduling, it can often have benefits when the more important processes are set to a higher nice level. Wineserver also seems unconditionally to benefit from
SCHED_FIFO, since rarely consumes the whole CPU and needs higher prioritization when possible.
optirun -I -n -5 wineserver -F -p 20 -n 19 steam.exe -I -n -5
Using alternate kernels
The stock Arch kernel provides a very good baseline for general usage. However, if your system has less than 16 cores and is intended for use primarily as a workstation, you can sacrifice a small amount of throughput on batch workloads and gain a significant boost to interactivity by using Linux-ck. If you prefer not to compile your own kernel, you can instead add Repo-ck and use one of their kernels. Using a pre-optimized kernel will most definitely offset any loss of throughput that may have occurred as a result, so be sure to select the appropriate kernel for your architecture.
Using BFQ
BFQ is an io-scheduler that comes as a feature of linux-zen and Linux-ck, and is optimized to be much more simplistic, but provides better interactivity and throughput for non-server workloads. To enable, simply add the kernel parameter elevator=bfq to your bootloader. It is important to note that although most guides recommend using either noop or deadline for SSDs for their raw throughput, they are actually detrimental to interactivity when more than one thread is attempting to access the device. It is best to use bfq unless you desperately need the throughput advantage.

Willi Bruckbauer is at the heart of BORA – the visionary, creative mind and driving force behind the groundbreaking cooktop extractor systems. With over 20 years of experience in the kitchen sector, the qualified master carpenter knows what people want from modern kitchens: a living space that meets their needs.
Extractor hoods are simply not part of this picture: they are loud, ineffective and visibly intrusive. They also restrict the possibilities when designing a kitchen. Willi Bruckbauer's vision was to invent an effective vapour extraction system that meets the highest standards in terms of both technology and aesthetic appeal. Thanks to continuous experimentation and discovery, an innovative system was devised that draws off cooking vapours more effectively than ever before possible. The work has been recognised by numerous prestigious awards and accolades such as the 'Deutscher Gründerpreis' (German Entrepreneurs' Award), '365 Orte im Land der Ideen' ('365 Places in the Land of Ideas'), 'red dot product design award 2012' and 'Plus X Award, Product of the Year 2013'.
For example, we go for runs together during trade fairs and the employees cook together once a week. I'm happy to foot the bill if the food is healthy, good quality and sourced locally whenever possible.
When I visit the company, I notice that there's a special spirit, a special dynamic. Our staff lives and breathes BORA. That makes me proud.
After all, our success depends much more on my employees than on me. I just want to act as moderator. I'm incredibly proud of the dedication and passion displayed in our departments each day. To name just one example: when an employee has an idea that ends up becoming a patent, it says volumes about his quality. That makes me happy, especially when the idea doesn't come from me. And when I cook with the teams, it helps me keep in touch with them and this is often the way we gain fresh momentum, on both sides.
We combine things that belong together: sport, health, openness to the world, team spirit, ambition and energy. These factors are all part of BORA's DNA, and that makes the circle complete. You wouldn't believe how many people throughout the world we've encouraged to get involved in cycling thanks to our commitment! The members of our cycling team are also somehow part of the BORA family. They create a huge amount of impetus that spills over to our employees and retail partners. This passion is simply contagious; you have to experience it for yourself.
The BORA - hansgrohe cycling team is heading into the 2017 season as one of the favourites thanks to its continuous and ongoing preparation work. Today, the team represents the future of cycling and has one of the sport's most dazzling stars within its ranks.

GorgeousSoul necesitaba un nuevo diseño de otro y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
2 ganadores han sido elegidos entre 60 diseños de 20 diseñadores freelance.
Described as a 'powerful flame within a delicate flower', I'm a professional dancer and teacher working to share the beauty and joy of this art form. I'm passionate about helping people through dance whether it be through personal transformation or simply by creating a beautiful memory they can cherish. I'm constantly inspired as a teacher by the stories of body acceptance, emotional healing, and personal growth that my students share with me. Seeing my students blossom drives me to keep doing what I do. My view as an entertainer is that my job is done when everyone is smiling and happy. I'm honored to share important celebrations with people from extremely diverse backgrounds.
I'm one of the most sought after teachers and performers in my area, but I'm moving and would like to put together a press kit that will allow me to continue doing the work I love. I want something that immediately communicates a mood consistent with my performances - engaging, upbeat, beautiful, professional, joyful, playful, exotic, and captivating.
Bellydance is a dance of joy and can be seen all over the Middle East as men and women, young and old dance at parties and celebrations. It features precise muscle control and articulations, beautiful hand and arm work, and movements ranging from strong and percussive to smooth and flowing.
- Future employers
Event sponsors who might want to hire me to either perform in a show or teach for a day or weekend. DVD producers in hopes of being included in future projects. Restaurant owners for regular appearances. Corporations for one-time events.
- Talent agents
- Members of the press
I might contact members of the press to generate buzz about a DVD release or upcoming appearance.
This project is for the folder that will contain my resume, photos, a business card, re-prints of past press articles, and (in some cases) a DVD with examples of my work.
In this case, I am the brand, so I've attached several photos to work with. I'd like it to have a beautiful and exotic feel to it, so I've also included an example of several Middle Eastern backgrounds from iStockPhoto. After seeing one of them in two of the designs, I'm feeling like maybe suggesting that is a bad idea. I think the piece should be feminine and flowing. Perhaps architectural images aren't the right feel at all.
I've also attached a flyer I made. My skills are not so great in the graphic design department (thus this post), but maybe it will demonstrate my taste a little bit.
Thank you so much to anyone inspired to help me!

We've tracked down 25 drive-ins throughout the country where you can still cruise on up and watch a movie from the comfort of your own car.The first drive-in movie theater opened in Camden, New Jersey, in 1933, and at the trend's peak in the '50s and '60s, there were about 5,000 drive-in theaters across the country. Today, there are less than 500 still around, but some amazing vintage drive-in theaters have managed to stand the test of time or make comebacks. There are even some brand-new drive-ins that combine nostalgic charm with modern amenities. Read on to learn about some of the coolest drive-ins around the country.istockphoto.com
66 Drive-In Theatre (Carthage, Missouri)
Route 66 is the epitome of Americana from a bygone era, and a few classic drive-ins remain along the Mother Road, including the 66 Drive-In Theatre in Carthage, Missouri. First opened in 1949, it was restored and reopened in 1998. It now shows two movies on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday every week during the summer. Like many iconic symbols of Route 66, it was recreated in the Pixar movie "Cars." It's a must-visit stop on any family Route 66 road trip.Dreamstime
99W Drive-In (Newberg, Oregon)
Open since 1953, the 99W Drive-In is a single-screen theater just outside Portland, Oregon, that hasn't changed much in its more than 60-year history. It still screens vintage drive-in ads from the '50s and '60s before features and has an arcade with games and pinball machines. The theater hosts vintage car club meetups as well as special film screenings, such as "The Rocky Horror Picture Show."Janey E./Yelp
Admiral Twin Drive-In (Tulsa, Oklahoma)
First opened in 1951, this drive-in was renamed the Admiral in 1952 and was in business for more than 50 years until its wooden screen tower burned down in a fire in 2010. Fans of the theater raised more than $30,000 to help rebuild it with new metal screens, and it was able to reopen in 2012. The Twin was a shooting location for Francis Ford Coppola's '60s-era movie "The Outsiders," making it a Hollywood movie location you can actually visit.Runaway B./Yelp
Becky's Drive-In Theatre (Walnutport, Pennsylvania)
Film-lover William D. Beck founded a drive-in theater in Pennsylvania in 1946, and his children continue to run the business to this day.

For several years, the Human Dynamics research group at the MIT Media Lab has been using the standard sensors in smartphones to collect data about people's social interactions, drawing surprising conclusions about the way political opinions, dietary habits and illnesses — among other things — spread through populations.
Now, the group is making its phone-based data-collection system available as a free, open-source download so that other researchers, and people interested in the burgeoning phenomenon of "self-tracking," can not only use it but also help expand it, incorporating it into other applications or providing it with new features and functions.
"There are a lot of other research groups that are reinventing the wheel," says Nadav Aharony, a PhD student in the group who led the software's development. "We felt that we were so advanced in this field that we wanted to share this."
Aharony; graduate student Wei Pan; Human Dynamics group leader Sandy Pentland, the Toshiba Professor of Media Arts and Sciences; MIT affiliate Cory Ip SM '11; and Inas Khayal, a visiting scholar from the Masdar Institute in Abu Dhabi, described the system in a paper presented at the UbiComp ubiquitous-computing conference in Beijing in September. Together with Cody Sumter, a master's student, and Alan Gardner '05, a software developer whose participation in the project was funded by a grant from Google, the researchers turned the system into a user-friendly software package that was officially released today.
The system, dubbed Funf, has two main components: One is an application called Funf Journal, which runs on phones that use Google's Android operating system and governs the collection and exportation of sensor data. The other is a set of tools for managing and visualizing that data, which run on a desktop or laptop computer.
Funf Journal provides intuitive checkbox menus that allow users to specify, for instance, how frequently a given phone sensor — an accelerometer, say, or the GPS receiver — will collect data and for how long. Sets of sensor configurations can be saved and loaded when appropriate: A self-tracker might want to perform frequent measurements only during the morning commute, for instance. The desktop application can also broadcast configuration updates to participants in a study, if they've granted it access to their phones.
Chain reaction
In the Funf framework, the controller for each sensor is known as a "probe." But since the raw data generated by phone sensors can be difficult for novices to interpret — and time-consuming even for experts — Funf Journal comes with a number of higher-level probes that can look for patterns in the sensor data. The "activity monitor" probe, for instance, can distinguish the accelerometer data typical of, say, a phone on the hip of someone being jostled on a subway train from the data produced when the same person is walking briskly or climbing stairs. It can thus provide a single numerical score for the user's physical activity over any specified time span. Each of the higher-level probes is configurable through the same type of menu that governs the sensors themselves.
Funf Journal comes with roughly 30 probes built in. But the Media Lab team is eager for developers outside MIT to invent additional high-level probes, and probes that use the data generated by those probes, and so on. Less tech-savvy users could still publish configuration settings that they've found useful for particular tasks. "You can imagine a free marketplace of these configurations and also of these probes," Aharony says.
Visualization software can represent a Funf user's geographical movements as a 'heat map,' where colors at the red end of the spectrum designate highly frequented areas and colors at the blue end designate occasionally frequented areas. This video displays two Funf users' movement patterns, updated each day over the course of a month.
Video: Nadav Aharony
Aharony and his colleagues also provide developers with an application programming interface, which would allow them to incorporate probes or other Funf features into their own programs without explicitly using Funf Journal.
Under the hood
Many of those features address problems that arose chronically during the Human Dynamics group's own research. One is power management: Frequent use of a phone's sensors can quickly drain its battery, so Funf automatically adopts power-saving strategies such as delaying energy-intensive tasks until the phone is plugged in or postponing a GPS reading if the accelerometers and gyros indicate that the phone has remained stationary since the last one.
Another problem was privacy, so by default, Funf encrypts any data stored on the phone or uploaded to a server. The app can also be configured so that uploaded data remains anonymous, or so that the phone reports only conclusions drawn from its analysis of sensor data, not the raw data itself.
"It's right-on architecturally in terms of its modularity and openness," says Deborah Estrin, director of the Center for Embedded Networked Sensing and a professor of computer science at the University of California at Los Angeles. "It really draws on the many years of experience that their group has had innovating in this space."
Estrin's own research group uses cellphone data collection to assist in preventive medicine, and she says that she can "definitely" envision using the Funf system in her future work. "We have some other capabilities that aren't yet implemented in that platform," she says, "but because of this probe architecture, it allows for both contributing things that we have that conform to that architecture as well as incorporating pieces [of Funf], even if it's not taken on wholesale."
Pentland has been talking to Hal Abelson, the Class of 1922 Professor of Computer Science and Engineering and one of the lead developers of the Google App Inventor, about creating a system with an intuitive graphical interface that would let users with little prior programming experience develop new Funf probes. "We're hoping to help build a community around the framework," Aharony says.
