When you look up ways to promote your business online, you'll find plenty of guides about Facebook, Instagram, or search engines. However, you won't find quite as many guides about promoting your business on LinkedIn.
The truth is: LinkedIn is one of the most powerful – and overlooked – business promotion tools available online today. With that in mind, we're going to explain everything you need to know about using LinkedIn to promote your business.
Start by Creating a LinkedIn Company Page
The best way to market your business on LinkedIn is to create a company page. A LinkedIn company page provides a brief overview of your business and services.
We typically see LinkedIn company pages rank quite highly on Google Search. In many cases, your LinkedIn company page will appear on the first page of search results. That's why it's so important to optimize your page today. Customers and future employees are almost certainly going to stumble across the page in the future.
Have an underperforming Linkedin Profile?
Optimizing your Linkedin profile is a POWERFUL career move. Push Profile has optimized thousands of linkedin profiles for entire sales departments, executives and entry level workers.
Take your LinkedIn profile to the next level and turn it into a career tool that spotlights your skills, experiences, AND impresses your network of connections by using a professional profile writer.
You can start creating a company page by going here on LinkedIn.
Alternatively, sign into LinkedIn and follow these steps:
Step 1) Go to Interests at the top of your homepage and click on Companies
Step 2) Click Create in the Create A Company Page box on the right-hand side of the page
Step 3) Enter your company's official name and your work email address
Step 4) Click Continue and enter basic details about your company (you can be as brief or detailed as you like)
Make sure you enter your company's real, official name in the name section. You can make slight adjustments to this name in the future. However, if you want to make major adjustments to the name, then you'll need to contact LinkedIn staff to change it manually. So pick the right name today to avoid future headaches.
Optimize your Profile by Adding Showcase Pages
LinkedIn pages don't just provide basic contact information about your business. They can also give followers crucial information about your products and services via the Showcase Pages (previously known as the Products and Services pages).
You should use a Showcase Page to outline your company's best products and services. Tell potential customers – and future employees – what your company does best. Then, give them compelling reasons to follow you.
One of the best parts about LinkedIn's Showcase Pages is that you can link to almost anything on the internet. You can link to clinical trials for your product, for example, or how-to guides on why you should use your services.
Take SEO Into Consideration
We mentioned at the top that LinkedIn pages tend to rank high in search engines. It's true: many companies now have their LinkedIn pages appear on the first page of search results for their company.
There are easy ways to enhance your LinkedIn page's search engine presence. Start by editing your description to include keyword-rich sentences. If you're a plumber in Baton Rouge, for example, then make sure your page includes keywords like "plumber Baton Rouge" or "Baton Rouge plumbing." Mix it up and offer a broad range of words and phrases that describe your business, expertise, and industry focus.
The most important thing to remember about SEO on your LinkedIn page is that Google will preview up to 156 characters of text on your page. Typically, this will be the first 156 characters of relevant content on your LinkedIn page. Make sure those characters are keyword-rich and provide a strong, short summary of your company.
Use your Page to Engage your Audience
Company pages on LinkedIn aren't just static profiles for your business: they're like updated blogs or Facebook pages. You can post updates through your company page – like blogposts, product launches, or just general information that may be interesting to your customers.
If you want to use LinkedIn to promote your business, then you need to do what the best companies are doing. They're engaging their audience by providing relevant, interesting content updates on a regular basis (like every day or week).
Being successful on LinkedIn isn't just about posting content updates every day. It's about interacting with your followers after they comment on your company's posts.
Consider sharing your customers' and prospects' content – say, from their corporate blogs or personal pages – to build up an engaged following.
"Engagement" is the biggest buzzword in the social media world for a reason. If you can get followers who actively comment on your content and care about what you post, then you can quickly build up a larger and larger following on LinkedIn. Many of those followers could be future customers, future investors, or even future employees.
Take Advantage of Targeted Updates
We just talked about the importance of engaging your customers with relevant content updates. But not all content will be relevant to all your followers.
That's why we love a unique LinkedIn feature called targeted updates. These targeted updates let you tailor your message to your audience.
Before you post a content update, you can choose to share it with all your followers or to a "targeted audience." If you choose the latter option, then you'll be able to send a content update only to a certain type of your followers. Narrow down your followers based on:
-Geographic location
-Industry or niche
-Company size
-Level of seniority at current employer
If you only want to advertise your content to high-ranking executives of large companies in New York City, then you can do that with LinkedIn.
Smaller companies may not need targeted content updates. However, larger companies with diverse products and a diverse range of followers may find them very helpful.
Publish the Right Type of Content on LinkedIn
It seems that only about 10% of companies consistently publish the right type of content on LinkedIn. Many companies either…
-Publish content that is overly promotional for their company and its services
-Publish content that is boring, irrelevant, or meaningless to their audience
For example, some companies exclusively use LinkedIn content updates to link to press releases for their company. That's great if you have a bunch of mindless drones following your LinkedIn page who are exclusively interested in your product advertisements.
In reality, your company has real human followers following your LinkedIn page. These followers, like most people on the internet, are attracted by flashy visuals, brief content summaries, and "snackable" content. If you can develop quality content that is quick and easy to consume, then people will keep coming back to your page for more.
Some tips for publishing quality content on your LinkedIn page includes:
-Use concise intros and snappy headlines that quickly tell your audience why the content is relevant and why they should care
-Always pair your content with a flashy, attention-grabbing visual. Remember: people are going to see your content as they're scrolling through a feed filled with information. Your goal is to stop the scroll and make them focus on your update for a few seconds. Draw them in with a visual, then get them to click on your content with a great lede.
-Remember that your audience isn't looking to read a novel today. Make your content short, valuable, and snackable. Include pictures, charts, and videos wherever possible.
-Ask your audience a question to encourage engagement. Ask them to leave a comment about their most awkward company picnic experience, for example.
Ultimately, content marketing on LinkedIn is similar to marketing on any other social media platform. Make content that is brief, visual, and relevant to your audience. If you can do that, then they'll keep coming back for more.
Continue Building your LinkedIn Following
If you've kept up with us this far, then you now have a solid company profile and an active company blog with interested followers.
Your next step is to grow that following. Growing your following today can eventually snowball your company into the best, most active company in your niche on LinkedIn. People will see that you have a highly-active page on LinkedIn and will start to believe your company is a thought leader in its niche. That's an enormous boost for your long-term online presence.
So how do you grow your LinkedIn following? Here are some tips:
-Get Employees on Board: Whether your company has 5 employees or 500, start by growing your following on the home front. Ask your employees to follow your company page. Many of them will interact with your page's content updates, or provide their own unique insight about a certain post. You may also ask employees in specialized roles to write their own posts to share unique insight.
-Add a Follow Button to your Website: LinkedIn makes it easy to advertise your LinkedIn page with the world. Grab a Follow button for your website from https://developer.linkedin.com/. Just like a Facebook "like" or Twitter "follow" button, this button makes it easy for LinkedIn users to instantly follow your page.
-Advertise your LinkedIn Page: Add your LinkedIn profile to your email signature. Add it to your Twitter or Facebook bio. Make sure people know that you have an active LinkedIn page.
Consider the 4-1-1 Rule of Content Marketing
Joe Pulizzi of Tippingpoint Labs created a social media principle called the 4-1-1 rule. That rule states that for every self-serving piece of content you publish online, you should retweet or repost one relevant piece of content and share four pieces of relevant content written by other people.
If you apply this rule to LinkedIn, you can achieve a powerful following. People will want to interact with your page for the free exposure. These people may then want to share your content on their own pages.
Posting one piece of self-serving content for every 6 content updates also gives you a good ratio of self-promotion to relevant content: your followers won't feel like they're following a constant advertisement, but you'll still be able to tell them about valuable product information.
Continue Analyzing and Optimizing your Page Over Time
LinkedIn provides surprisingly in-depth analysis tools for your LinkedIn company profile. LinkedIn Analytics give youcrucial information about your page, including:
-Engagement %: This metric explains out of all the people who saw your update, how many people interacted with it. You can look at updates with higher engagement percentages to find out how to narrow down your marketing efforts.
-Demographics: Which types of people are interacting with your page?
-How You Compare: Check how your company's business page is doing against its competitors and find out if you need to adjust your strategy.
By following the above tips, you can easily use LinkedIn to promote your business and create a more engaged following online.

Colombian politics are in tumult as the first round of presidential elections approach May 25. Incumbent Juan Manuel Santos is seeking a second term in a field of five candidates, and as of now looks like he will finish equal to or behind his leading opposition, former Finance Minister Oscar Ivan Zuluaga.
No candidate will likely break 30 percent, forcing a runoff by the top two candidates on June 15, as Colombian law requires the winning candidate receive more than 50 percent to win.
Six months ago, Zuluaga had 14 percent support; today, Santos and Zuluaga are running neck-and-neck, with each posting 29 percent, according to the latest Gallup poll. In third place is former defense and commerce minister Marta Lucia Ramirez with 14 percent.
The tight presidential race was unimaginable four years ago. With full backing from outgoing President Alvaro Uribe, Santos was elected with 69 percent of the vote. Today, just days before elections on May 25, the president's popularity has plummeted to the low 30s.
Santos, advised by his ever-present, hard-left brother Enrique, is running a desperate campaign described by political analyst Juan Carlos Pastrana as "accelerating in reverse."
Among his most influential advisers is disgraced ex-President Ernesto Samper, who accepted campaign funds totaling $20 million for his campaign, according to the son of convicted drug kingpin Gilberto Rodriguez Abadilla.
Sadly, the Santos administration has distinguished itself by distributing large amounts of what he calls "marmalade" to virtually every member of Colombia's Congress and other approachable political leaders.
In the last two weeks, Santos has forged a virtual pact with the despised FARC, a communist, guerrilla, narco-trafficking organization. The FARC is well-known for voter intimidation and fraud in rural areas of the country.
The president has courted and won the support of Bogota Mayor Gustavo Petro, who won office with just 32 percent of the vote and has been under heavy attack for poor administration and outright corruption.
An ultra-radical former guerrilla whose most famous and closest friend was Venezuela's late dictator Hugo Chavez, Petro has a solid base of voters in the Colombian capital.
Zuluaga, a well-regarded successful businessman and minister, has a reputation for efficient management and strict honesty, rare qualities for Colombian politicians.
His campaign has moved ahead strongly despite leading a news magazine, Semana, making allegations -- since denied and proven specious -- that senior Zuluaga campaign officials had dubious relations with a less-than-reputable campaign security operative.
A strong factor in the Zuluaga campaign has been the support of Uribe, the country's most popular political figure, and his Centro Democratico political party.
Four years after leaving the presidency, Uribe has an unparalleled 62 percent approval rating; his party demonstrated its strength in February's legislative elections, when it won 22 senatorial races, equaling Santos' ticket.
Uribe was coaxed out of retirement by dynamic, young political activist Paloma Valencia, and the two have high hopes of even greater success in the presidential sweepstakes.
Valencia, elected a Colombian senator as was her mentor in February, sees victory ahead for Zuluaga, noting, "He will run a close race with Santos in the first round, and then beat him decisively in the runoff."
Try as they might, legally or otherwise, most observers believe the Santos presidency is drawing to a close. "Santos" in Spanish mean "saints." One wag observed, "Louis Armstrong will have to change his tune: The Saints are marching out, not in."
In most observers' opinion and despite overwhelming media support, brothers Juan Manuel and Enrique (whose family founded and ran the country's leading newspaper, El Tiempo, for decades) could well be leaving the power and comfort of Colombia's presidential palace, La Casa de Narino."Ian Alexander" is the pen name of a veteran journalist working in Colombia.

Nancy Grace Dwts
October 5, 2011 by staff
Nancy Grace Dwts, Nancy Grace says he had more than a year to "make a comeback" after she and the twins' life or death ordeal. " On Monday, the famous artists of the season 13 of "Dancing With The Stars" were told to do their dances on Monday, a tribute to their "most memorable years." Grace, a legal expert of 51 years of age, and devoted her teammate Tristan MacMa**s waltz on "Dancing With The Stars" to their children.
During her pregnancy, Grace had developed pulmonary edema, or swelling and accumulation of fluid in the lungs. Her twins, Lucy and John, were born prematurely in 2007.
"The three of us, the twins and I went through quite an ordeal, a life or death ordeal, and it took more than a year and I more than a year to recover, to actually make a return," said Grace OnTheRedCarpet. com after the show. "Just when the music started I thought of nothing but the dance itself and try to run smoothly as we had practiced in the rehearsal room – but just before the start – I looked and saw them [the twins] smiling."
The couple had the second lowest score of the night, followed only by Chaz Bono and partner Lacey Schwimmer, who received 18 of 30 for their rumba.
Grace went on to talk about plans to win over the judges in three weeks.
"You know, I thought the dance was beautiful, but obviously, the waltz is too tame for this group," Grace joked. "We'll have to give a little next time."
Contestant and TV personality Ricki Lake and professional partner Derek Hough earned the top score of 27 to 30 at night. It was the second week in a row that the pair won first place in the competition.
The remaining 10 pairs return Tuesday, October 4 for an episode of elimination where it is expected that the third couple to be eliminated.
"When times are tough, bend and get through," said Grace.

WHEN: Noon Sunday
WHERE: Mercedes-Benz Superdome
TV: Fox
RADIO: WWL-AM, 870, WWL-FM, 105.3 in New Orleans; KMDL-FM, 97.3 in Lafayette; WDGL-FM, 98.1 in Baton Rouge
RECORDS: Both teams are 1-3.
LAST WEEK: The Bucs visited 2-2 Pittsburgh and upset them 27-24. Filling in for quarterback Josh McCown (brother of backup Saints quaraterback Luke McCown), who was sidelined with a torn thumb ligament in his throwing hand, the Bucs' Mike Glennon completed 21 of his 42 throws for 302 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. Glennon's second scoring throw was with seven seconds left in the game. ... In Dallas, the Saints turned the ball over three times and created no takeaways as they lost 38-17 to the Cowboys (3-1). The Saints allowed running back DeMarco Murray to gash them for 149 yards and two touchdowns on 24 carries.
COACHES: Bucs: Lovie Smith, first season (1-3); Saints: Sean Payton, eighth season (74-42)
(Average per game; league rank in parenthesis)
Points: Saints, 23.8 (T-15th); Bucs, 18.0 (29th)
Total yards: Saints, 425.8 (3rd); Bucs, 290.8 (30th)
Rushing: Saints, 131.2 (11th); Bucs, 96.5 (24th)
Passing: Saints, 294.5 (3rd); Bucs, 194.2 (32nd)
Points: Saints, 27.5 (T-27th); Bucs, 29.8 (31st)
Total yards: Saints, 396.0 (29th); Bucs, 387.8 (25th)
Rushing: Saints, 123.5 (21st); Bucs, 115.2 (18th)
Passing: Saints, 272.5 (T-28th); Bucs, 272.5 (T-28th)
Bucs: Quarterback Mike Glennon, running back Bobby Rainey, running back Doug Martin, wide receiver Vincent Jackson, linebacker Lavonte David, defensive tackle Gerald McCoy, safety Dashon Goldson
Saints: Quarterback Drew Brees, tight end Jimmy Graham, wide receiver Brandin Cooks, running back Khiry Robinson, linebacker Curtis Lofton, safety Kenny Vaccaro
Offense: Neither their passing nor running offense is much to write home about. They've gotten most of their yards on the ground as well as many through the air from unheralded running back Bobby Rainey, whose 199 yards off 41 carries are the 19th-most in the NFL. He also has a touchdown and 118 yards off 13 receptions, but he has lost three fumbles. Through the air, Mike Glennon had tall targets in Vincent Jackson and Mike Evans, both 6-foot-5. But Evans should be sidelined with a groin injury, and Tampa Bay's aerial attack is the worst in the NFL, averaging just 194.2 yards per game.
Defense: A defense that is surrendering the NFL's eighth-most yards per game is quarterbacked by 2013 first-team All-Pro linebacker Lavonte David. He's in a three-way tie for fifth-most tackles in the league (38), a nine-way tie for second-most forced fumbles (two), and has a fumble recovery.
Special teams: The Bucs have been vulnerable in this phase. For example, in a loss to St. Louis, they had a punt and field goal blocked. In a loss against Atlanta, they gave up a 62-yard punt return touchdown to Devin Hester, who set an NFL record with the score, his 20th on a return. Their kicker Patrick Murray is a lackluster 7-for-10 on field goals, with all of his misses coming from beyond 40 yards, and two of them from beyond 50.
-- Despite their 1-3 start, the Saints have only one less victory than the two rivals they trail in the NFC South: Atlanta and Carolina, both 2-2. Beating Tampa Bay, their third divisional rival, would keep the Saints fully alive in the early going of the NFC South race, and it would obviously put some distance between them and the Bucs.
-- It could be said that Bucs coach Lovie Smith has had Saints counterpart Sean Payton's number a little bit. Smith's Bears teams ended the Saints first three seasons under Payton, dealing New Orleans a defeat in the NFC Championship Game in 2006 and then losses that mathematically eliminated them from the playoffs in 2007 and 2008, all in Chicago. Payton got Smith the lone time he visited New Orleans with the Bears as the Saints routed Chicago 30-13 in 2011.
-- Since the Saints won Super Bowl XLIV at the end of the 2009 campaign, they've won four of their six encounters with the Bucs. The Bucs were the last team to beat the Saints in New Orleans with Payton on the sideline. Since that game at the end of the 2010 season, the Saints have won 18 consecutive contests at home with Payton coaching, including the playoffs. That excludes the 2012 season, when Payton was suspended in the wake of the bounty scandal.
-- Bucs special-teams standout Russell Shepard, who was a member of LSU's football team from 2009-12, will be playing in New Orleans for the first time as a pro.
-- Rookie Saints cornerback Brian Dixon's twin brother, Brandon, plays cornerback and on special teams for Tampa Bay. They attended Northwest Missouri State together. Dixon signed with the Saints as an undrafted free agent and made the roster at the end of the preseason. Brandon was a sixth-round draft pick for the New York Jets in May, was cut and subsequently signed with Tampa Bay. Along the same lines, Saints safety Jairus Byrd's dad, Gill, is the Bucs cornerbacks coach. Gill Byrd was a two-time Pro Bowl cornerback for the San Diego Chargers from 1983-92.

Happy New Year!
I am saved from having to mingle with drunken college students for the http://www.littleapplenewyears.com/(Apple Drop) by snow. We've got a little over an inch at mid-afternoon and while the pavement is too warm for it to stick there, my tires are at the end of their tread life and I'd rather not chance slippery and slushy if I don't have to and I don't have to.
I'm house sitting for someone new this week. One of my co-workers is off to Florida as chaparone on her daughter's band trip (they're performing at NASA and Disney World). It's a cool "old" house in Wamego, likely built around the turn of the century. High ceilings; real hardwood floors; massive wood trim pieces. It's had updates to plumbing, electric, kitchen and bathrooms, but all keeping in character with the original dwelling. There's a cat and a dog that both like to snuggle so I'm getting my animal fix. We've got a fire in the fireplace around which the little furry ones are gathered. I've just brewed a bone warming pot of decaf and thought I'd take advantage of the DSL to post some pictures.
Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas, or whatever flavor of December celebration you may subscribe to and that the new year brings you many good things.
Confidential to Ms. Stripes: Just don't over-do the table scraps (i.e. make them a treat, not a meal). Like anything else, moderation is the key. Unless there's something medically amiss with an animal, their nutritional needs are best met by foods made specifically for them. If you run into something that doesn't agree with kitty, I'm sure you'll find out all about it in the litter box :-D I will tell you that the better quality food you feed, the less quantity you need to feed and the less you'll be cleaning out of the litter box.

dEgle95 replied to dEgle95's topic in Networking and MultiplayerI meant if it is a right thing to implement:) [quote name='hplus0603' timestamp='1352138595' post='4997650'] The main challenge I can see with that is detecting whether a packet was dropped. If I send a packet to you, and there's no guaranteed stream of packets back, then I don't know whether you got it or not if I don't hear back from you. [/quote] For example if i send datagram with map data of file parts i will definitely number these packets, so if there is a non stable connection client can ask to resend right packet. In case of lost packets with events...players might be teleporting;-)
dEgle95 replied to dEgle95's topic in Networking and Multiplayer[quote name='hplus0603' timestamp='1352047605' post='4997213'] In that case, you want to fit all events from the queue in the single UDP datagram each time you send a datagram. [/quote] I guess it's best idea to reduce traffic when sending events from server to each clients and vice versa:) [quote name='hplus0603' timestamp='1352047605' post='4997213'] Set a send rate -- 5 times a second, 20 times a second, whatever suits your game -- and stuff all the events into a single datagram for each packet you send. If there are no events, still send a packet, so you can detect connected vs disconnected users, do time management, detect dropped packets for re-tries, etc. [/quote] Will it work if i send events from client to server each frame (if there are any events) and server will send events to clients each frame, so there will be no exact rate? That way I will have to have ping-pong requests to measure latency, disconnected palyers, etc.
dEgle95 replied to Xanather's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingYou can also make multiple "light" blocks inside one tile. Light block can have 3 bytes for color and a byte for light level. To make it faster recalculate only if there are moving lights (like torch in hand). If you use GPU to render fancy lights then you don't need much light blocks. Only for spawning mobs for example... Be creative and you can make your own lighting engine, even more fancy than terraria has!
dEgle95 replied to dEgle95's topic in Networking and Multiplayer[quote name='hplus0603' timestamp='1351986849' post='4997017'] There are as many networking systems as there are game genres, because each kind of game needs different compromises in data model richness, accuracy, throughput management, and latency compensation. Yes, it's totally fine to keep a queue of events to send on one end, send them all as one packet every so often, and then put them in a queue of events to dispatch/deal with on the receiving side. Many games work like that. If you're using TCP, beware that you have to put a length field before each "packet" that you send, because the TCP connection may/will split your send() calls into multiple recv() calls and/or combine multiple send() calls into a single recv() call. [/quote] Actually I'm using UDP, so event can fit in one packet. Thanks anyway:)
dEgle95 posted a topic in Networking and MultiplayerHello guys. I was wondering is there any tutorial describing how to make network support in games? Like what should server send and receive and in what order? Clients? I guess best way is to make [b]net_events[/b] like in SDL: server should translate incoming packets into events, then handle them, generate events for clients and send them back. Server and clients should have queue of events (like in SDL)...but i'm not sure if it's the best solution.
dEgle95 replied to Ars7c3's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingHello! Here is my function that i use in my projects. It's just a little more compact and 100% working Hope it will help you. [CODE] int check_collision(SDL_Rect *a , SDL_Rect *b) { if(b->x + b->w < a->x) return 0; //just checking if their if(b->x > a->x + a->w) return 0; //bounding boxes even touch if(b->y + b->h < a->y) return 0; if(b->y > a->y + a->h) return 0; return 1; //bounding boxes intersect } [/CODE]
dEgle95 replied to dEgle95's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingOops....apparently generating format is not working, but if you take it from screen surface it'll do:) Corrected function for creating surfaces, in case someone needs it: [source lang="cpp"]SDL_Surface *create_surface(int width, int height, SDL_Surface *screen) { /* Create a 32-bit surface with the bytes of each pixel in R,G,B,A order, as expected by OpenGL for textures */ SDL_Surface *surface; surface = SDL_CreateRGBSurface(SDL_SWSURFACE, width, height, screen->format->BitsPerPixel, screen->format->Rmask, screen->format->Gmask, screen->format->Bmask, screen->format->Amask); return surface; }[/source]
dEgle95 posted a topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingHello guys. I'm developing a small game and I've bumped into problem with SDL surfaces. I've written function for creating surfaces: [source lang="cpp"]SDL_Surface *create_surface(int width, int height) { /* Create a 32-bit surface with the bytes of each pixel in R,G,B,A order, as expected by OpenGL for textures */ SDL_Surface *surface; Uint32 rmask, gmask, bmask, amask; /* SDL interprets each pixel as a 32-bit number, so our masks must depend on the endianness (byte order) of the machine */ if (SDL_BYTEORDER == SDL_BIG_ENDIAN) { rmask = 0xff000000; gmask = 0x00ff0000; bmask = 0x0000ff00; amask = 0x000000ff; } else { rmask = 0x000000ff; gmask = 0x0000ff00; bmask = 0x00ff0000; amask = 0xff000000; } surface = SDL_CreateRGBSurface(SDL_SWSURFACE, width, height, 32, rmask, gmask, bmask, amask); return surface; }[/source] But when i try to do something with it nothing happens: [source lang="cpp"]Uint32 p_color; p_color = SDL_MapRGB(screen->format,255,255,255); SDL_Surface *srf = NULL; srf = create_surface(16,16); SDL_Rect temp; temp.x = 0; temp.y = 0; temp.w = 16; temp.h = 16; SDL_FillRect(srf,&temp,p_color); apply_surface(0,0, srf, screen, NULL); //simple function for blitting one surface to another. [/source] I definitely know that srf and screen are 32bits and function for creating surfaces was copied from SDL docs. apply_surface function works perfectly for any loaded image. Please, help me out with this simple problem [img]http://public.gamedev.net//public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png[/img]
dEgle95 replied to MrPlosion1243's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingIf your game would be side scrolling then sometimes there would be empty tiles, like air... To save memory and time of calculating you can use resizable array of pointers in current chunk which contains only solid tiles. To delete any tile from this array, for example [CODE] remove(i); [/CODE] Copy last pointer in your array to i and then resize array. Pretty simple and working
Cortex Command build 27 is finally out!!!! http://t.co/PYHtKT43
Sorry guys for my mistake in he title But still thanks for your concern. I will use your algorithms in other project
Well...it's part of ray class, so my ray has angle, maximum length and point of start. Now how it works: To find distance to each side we make 2 functions: y = kx — function of ray. x = c or y = c — function of side, because they are not rotating. Then we need to find k — it's just [b]tan(angle)[/b]. Then calculate point where 2 functions are crossing and check if this point lies on side of current block. pretty simple [img]http://public.gamedev.net//public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png[/img]
Thank you guys. I did find another way, it's quite light too: On each line, that presents side of block we find collision point and check if it's really on side of our block: [CODE] int lx,ly; //temporary point float t_distance[4]; //FIND POINT ON TOP SIDE ly = block->y; lx = (block->y - y) / tan(angle) + x; if( lx >= block->x && lx <= block->x + block->w && ly >= block->y && ly <= block->y + block->h) //find distance to it t_distance[0] = sqrt((float) (x - lx)*(x - lx) + (y - ly)*(y - ly)); //FIND POINT BOTTOM SIDE ly = block->y + block->h; lx = (block->y + block->h - y) /tan(angle) + x; if( lx >= block->x && lx <= block->x + block->w && ly >= block->y && ly <= block->y + block->h) //find distance to it t_distance[1] = sqrt((float) (x - lx)*(x - lx) + (y - ly)*(y - ly)); //FIND POINT ON LEFT SIDE lx = block->x; ly = tan(angle) * (block->x - x) + y; //check if temp point is onside of block if( lx >= block->x && lx <= block->x + block->w && ly >= block->y && ly <= block->y + block->h) //find distance to it t_distance[2] = sqrt((float) (x - lx)*(x - lx) + (y - ly)*(y - ly)); //FIND POINT ON RIGHT SIDE lx = block->x + block->w; ly = tan(angle) * (block->x + block->w - x) + y; if( lx >= block->x && lx <= block->x + block->w && ly >= block->y && ly <= block->y + block->h) //find distance to it t_distance[3] = sqrt((float) (x - lx)*(x - lx) + (y - ly)*(y - ly)); [/CODE] Then just find minimum in t_distance and there u have it! Ohh...and by the way my blocks aren't rotating and are just represented as x,y,width and height
dEgle95 posted a topic in Math and PhysicsHello guys! I'm having such a problem: i can't figure easiest way to find distance between point and block (as shown on picture) [img]https://p.twimg.com/AqhSb2nCQAAMY57.png[/img] Everything that i tried is not properly working [img]http://public.gamedev.net//public/style_emoticons/default/sad.png[/img] Could you help me please and tell way to find that distance.

WASHINGTON, Sept 16 (Reuters) - U.S. Agriculture Secretary Thomas Vilsack met with Warren Buffett last week to urge the billionaire investor to make sure his BNSF railroad is ready for an expected record corn and soy harvest this year.
Vilsack said on Tuesday that Buffett, who heads the sprawling conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway, recognized the challenge and indicated his company was taking steps.
"I said, 'Warren, you've got to make sure that your railroad understands what's going on here,'" Vilsack said he told Buffett during a 45-minute conversation. "There is pressure now, but as soon as this crop is harvested, there will be more pressure."
Speaking at a conference sponsored by Growth Energy, a biofuel trade group, Vilsack said BNSF was making "significant" investments. "It's a long-term issue."
Backlogs along U.S. rail lines became a major concern for a number of commodities markets this year.
In June, for example, U.S. officials ordered BNSF and Canadian Pacific Railway Co to report their plans to clear a backlog of grain cars after months of service delays blamed on harsh winter weather and high freight demand.
BNSF is a unit of Berkshire Hathaway. The railroad, which was struggling from the Great Recession when Berkshire bought it for $26 billion in 2010, returned a $3.8 billion profit last year.
One major source of profit, oil by rail, has become controversial, with some commodities producers saying railroads, including BNSF, are prioritizing the shipments of crude at the expense of other cargo. This has been denied by BNSF.
Berkshire Hathaway did not immediately reply to a request for comment on Tuesday. Canadian Pacific also did not immediately reply to requests for comment.
Vilsack on Tuesday praised BNSF for its work to improve service for farmers this year.
"If we had made as much progress with Canadian Pacific, we'd be in a little bit better place than we are today," he said. (Reporting by Ayesha Rascoe; Writing by Luciana Lopez in New York; Editing by Cynthia Osterman)

Current TV's piece on Glorious Excess "Born"…Current was a little late on this (ironic, no?), but feel free to jump over to their site and vote this piece up if you like it: http://current.com/items/89326561/mike_shinoda_art_exhibit.htm
Late to Glorious ExcessJanuary 4, 2009

Hello! Is the (dies) exhibit still a go at the National Museum beginning this month? If it is we'd like to check it out. Your work is very intriguing and a truly a joy to explore. I'm currently editing my friend's theoretical architecture book. He's also got another one in the works with Neil Spiller that we're looking for material for as well. Here's his link: http://form-ula.blogspot.com/ . Please email me if you think you'd like to participate. Thank you!
cagarcia at verizon dot net
you are just so talented. why not get a little more obsessed with death? let's admit it, had you beat with the nike's and zoo york shit, too
<33 julietta shinoda
eternity is waiting, right?
well, the comments on it are 4 months old, so they werent THAT late, however, i clearly remember searching current several times for something like this a few months ago and nothing ever came up….oh well. current still kicks ass…as does your art.
Yes, they have done a little later ..
I have voted anyway! of course! I entered affixed .. I do not know what could serve, however, my contribution there. Everything for my idol! Mike Shinoda! 🙂
Nice work!
I love your Art, it's so awesome!!! And I have your DC shoes " Xander" on my feets 😀 and your Artbook from "Born".
Please look at this: http://www.imgbox.de/users/janaLP/MSART1.jpg
it's selfmade xD
Long time, Mike! Your works are so good.
I alwayes thought that people must concentrate on just one or two part that they are talented… because their energy is limited and they can't afford every works they do. I mean, I thought musicians can't work REAL paintings, cause they are not painter.
But, you know, you are the first person who broke that prejudice. I don't know how you can do Everything you want and get actual outcome out of them. (Arts, Linkinpark, Fort Minor, producing, making stuff…etc)
So eh,…I'm just curious.
How did you manage all of that? Do you drink secret Elixer? or you have hidden golden eggs?
i was there! LoL. it was an awesome show mike. good job! :]
LP update.. please
thanks! 😀
Hey Mike
Your artwork inspires me, I love it. I actually got an idea from one of your paintings on a guitar. I will have to post the picture on here or somewhere and see what you think.
When you were younger, how did you know that being an artist was what you wanted to do as a living besides just as a hobby? I want to go to the Art Institute of Los Angeles in Santa Monica to do Audio Production and it's a great program, but with my mother wanting me to go into the medical field, I have second thoughts. Oh and by the way I love the "Song" painting, and when are you doing the "Die" part of the art show? I want to get another shirt there, mine's wearing apart. Ahaha.
nice paint, what it means??
( the girl on the middle looks like some celebrity …..)
Mike I have to ask you something. Are you guys going to play in Poland at Szczecin rock festival? Did you got the invitation? xxx
Cool interview, but yeah, very late…lol! And about GLXS (dies): how it's going? Are you working on it, or do you plan to do it after the LP album come out?
People who thinks: being on the camera is the number one…
Well i don't play music(I do a little bit piano)
But in my Hobby: Reporter…
Being in the camera is just my number one…
But yeah of course you're right! An artist should have making music as number one…
But you think i am wrong to?
I'm a big fan of your artwork Mike, It's special, It's "The Mike Shinoda Style".I'm looking forward to see your new pieces 🙂
Good luck with Glorious Excess (Dies) and take care 🙂
That was actually a really informative video. Most of the GE interviews you've posted haven't really been about your thoughts behind the paintings until now. I must debate though, you do realize that, even if your paintings took a back seat, music is still an art form, and you always were an artist, just with a different media. Music, literature and theater always seem to get put in a separate category, and that always irritates me, when you grow up to be a musician or writer, and people think you don't want to be an artist anymore when you in fact are. It's just as bad as that damned question, "Where'd you learn to draw like that?"
Really interesting idea – to be engaged in an art)) I wish u creative ideas and success 🙂
Great job Mike..
Ooh that's weak Mike! Current TV being late…ha ha…
Glorious Excess (Born) was amaaazing!!! I shall vote you up…what does that even do??
Can't wait for GLXS dies xD
(PS – it snooooooowed!!!!!!!! I'm so happy!! It's awesome!)
Great interview! I agree with you. It's actually ironic that if an artist is caught driving drunk is a more important news than releasing of an album. In fact, I'm not quite aware why the people are so interested in this kind of stuff. I just don't care what all those celebrities are doing, but there are so many people who do love reading gossips about the celebrities. Yeah, Current is a little late, but it's a nice piece. It's also a little reminder of your Alternative Art Show at SURU with Joe this month?!?! By the way, if you don't make a post about it: Happy Birthday to mikeshinoda.com! Krassie
woaaaaaaah Mikee i love ur artworks, they'r really cool!!!! oh and yea, happy bday http://www.mikeshinoda.com ^_^ byee
happy birthday http://www.mikeshinoda.com ❤
Really cool.
Btw, the post below me had mentioned that today is the anniversary of http://www.mikeshinoda.com wow, one year! 😀 Time flies fast, huh? Congratulations for keeping up with this! It'd take me forever to get me used to something. Ha. =P
Can't wait for what 2009 holds for us!
your artworks are amazing mike!!!^^
well..it's really a little bit too late..:)
kiss Alexx
P.s happy birthday http://www.mikeshinoda.com^^
I agree that they were a little bit late but good video. I voted for it. I love it. I cant wait for the next art show.
mike.. i love the range you have in your artwork. this is SO different from your other art exhibition. you have your own style, yet it shows in anything you create. that aspect is so awesome and hard to accomplish. on another note, i'm a striving artist and i'm working on my own style. you are a big part of my inspiration, mike. keep on truckin'. =]
Really nice interview Mike, you answered to some stuff I wanted to ask you about so thx 🙂 You definetely have a point about celebs 🙂 I agreee….Btw I remember another video about "Born" in which you were explaining to Brad how you did the poster with the dollars it was awesome 🙂 It must have been really difficult to make and I guess you had a lot of patience while making it 🙂 Anyway when you have news on "Dies" let us know plz 🙂
PS. Maybe in a couple of years, when you're on tour with LP in Europe, you could do an art show so that all your fans who live far away from the US can enjoy your art, not just from videos and pics 🙂 (I know it's difficult but I'm just saying)
The common thread here besides how amazingly talented you are, is when can we expect "Dies". I couldn't make "Born" because life got in the way of my fun again 😦 but am looking forward to "Dies"
Appease the masses and give us a hint! 😀
The video won't work for me 😦
yeah. it's a little late but it's REALLY great! i registered just to "vote up" on it.. o/o
i really loved the video and the way you explained your pieces and the show.. (: i do love your art.. it's as amazing as you!
i'm definitively going to get one of your arts tattooed (or several :D).. but i'm under 18, so i'll have to wait a little. ): the LP logo i have was done "furtively" and the guy who did, doesn't want to do a bigger tattoo on me..
anyway. i went to the movies last week and watched a movie that really worth to be watching.. if you have time and it's still passing in the USA, go watch "seven pounds"; it's really great!
keep rocking. (:
mk'nil :*
Good interview on Glorious Excess Born! Albeit a little late, but still a great interview! I went to the site and voted. Have a good Monday!
awsome 🙂
u are talented in art&music! I luv u man and take care
I have one question for you .. can you explain to me the meanings from all of your artwork according to your perspective possibly with the language that is easily to understand by the layman like me … I love art, especially modern art and i do like ur artwork so much but honestly I'm still a little vague to capture the meaning from each one of your painting … I really will appreciate if you like to give just a few explanations to me..
LoVe yA
Can't wait for Born.
BTW, what was the demo title for Valentine's Day Mike?
I loved that interview. Probably one of the more informative ones about the pieces themselves, the figure and it was nice how concisely you explained it without missing any details that I would ask about later.(If I hadn't already looked up the art show) I also liked how you explained vanitas; much better than just the posted definition that you put up… a while ago, haha. Thanks for the post Mike!
nice idea for the art show! you have a point, Mike! love the pictures – SO MUCH WORK! awesome!
i finally understood about Glorious Excess (born) concept more now.
i knew it was related about celebs but that was just it.
its a wonderful deep concept. congrats on G.E (born)!
take care, Mike 🙂
Haha, I couldn't agree more when you talked about being more excited about a musician being arrested than their actual album releases. I still think the whole concept of this show was really interesting and brought the view of the rich and famous into an entirely different perspective, which most people don't get to see or wouldn't care about initially. I'm glad that they had some shots of your sketches and process too. (Your lines are really CLEAN. Even if you erased and eventually went over them, I'm envious D:) I also like the way you incorporate different colors in your paintings, mostly seen in the strokes zoomed in. Anyways, anything on the follow-up show you mentioned earlier?
That was a fantastic piece for Current TV – congrats. You were very articulate, as always. In the past, you've commented on the many facets of celebrity. However, I think this is the first time I've seen you comment on the 'rules' of engagement – how we expect our celebrities to act in accordance to their own moral code and gleefully champion their transgressions. Thanks again for doing this exhibit. Also, thanks for NOT having your own mug shot. 😉
Yes, a little bit ironic. But is never too late to show your art… :p You have such a great talent… Both in music as in painting. I really admire your art and I also love the message. 🙂 Kisses from Portugal! *
I'm a bit confused about one thing,mainly cause I'm not a english speaker.The skull is about to make all of those famous things like "drugs, rock and roll and sex" feel right or wrong?I mean what's your true opinion about it?I don't know if you clearly said it on that video I just didn't get it for real.I think I liked more your past art exhibition(that's just me).And I also have one more question,would do you think about people doing tattoos of your art on their skin?Should they ask for you 1st before do it?Cause I think I've seen a person who did it,and I think somehow the artist have to know it. By the way check it out:http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll104/amescence/Untitled5-56.png
They did make a good video though:DI'm so proud to have your skate deck "Women":DIt's on my wall and it's soo pretty:DYou are an amazing artist…
Heh!…they're late because they didn't check the mikeshinoda.com for the latest entry…your art is soooooooo amazing:)…can't wait to see your Dies…Take Care:))…and hey! it's my Mom's b-day today…so Happy b-day Mom I Love You:)…she knows you Mike…everytime i watch your video she always says it's Mike again…Hahaha!she really knows how much I adore you:))sorry for the offtopic:))Love Yah!:))
EDIT: @ ESTELWEN come on!prayer is the best answer not browsing the net or Mike's blog…PEACE:))
always a great portugal : )
congratulations by the artist you are!
Europe has to show your art, is closer to other fans !!!!
think about that mike, and gives opportunity to the Europeans!
your art is amazing =)
and i learned something new about Glorious Excess today =D hehe ^^
oh, i would love to come and see Dies… But it is too far… 😉
well, good luck with your art, Mike!! And the new LP-album!
Glorious Excess (Born) was amazing, not just because of the art that I love but also a deeper meaning. I'm waiting for Dies. Are you working on new pieces or wanted to take a break? Have a nice day 🙂

Why Grade-Skipping Should Be Back in Fashion
Noting research from Belin-Blank (and also citing Gifted Exchange!) Mathews argues what we long have: that acceleration is a budget-friendly and effective way to challenge gifted kids. It is often better than the short pull-out sessions that pass for gifted education these days, and also avoids most of the political issues around gifted education: namely, that gifted kids get "special" stuff like trips to science museums, more fun classes, etc. With acceleration, they get the same education as everyone else. Just earlier.
Yet few schools have embraced acceleration. We have this notion that children do best when they are around kids of the same age, which doesn't make a whole lot of sense. For most of the history of education, classrooms were multi-age. Kids learn at home too, and play with their brothers and sisters of different ages. A mere glance around a 6th grade classroom will find that 12-year-olds can be at vastly different stages of development anyway. Furthermore, few adults have such restrictions on our working and social relationships. I am glad to have friends who are both older and younger than me, and I'm not sure why schools are so averse to similar things.

A charter school under the umbrella of Colorado Springs School District 11 -- http://www.academyacl.org/site/about/design.html -- just opened this year. It has multi-age homeroom classrooms and puts children into the morning math and language arts classes according to where they are in those two subjects instead of grouping by age. I look forward to seeing how things turn out with it. It seems like a brilliant idea because you can accelerate a child for just part of the day and then return them to a group of similarly-aged children for the rest of the day, thus resolving many concerns about social issues connected with acceleration.
- Jamie said...
I was skipped ahead as a kid with a summer birthday and it was really hard to be a sixth/seventh/eighth-grader (and even freshman/sophomore -- I wasn't the same size as my peers until sophomore year) who was conspicuously less physically and emotionally mature than the other kids. Now that it's over, I'm glad I graduated from college at 20, but I'm not sure I'd do it for (to?) one of my own kids.
I wonder how the growth of redshirting has changed things for kids who skip grades these days. I would worry that an accelerated kid would be even more vulnerable to the kinds of bullying I experienced. I suppose it's possible that it makes kids more used to a broad span of ages in the classroom.
- Lisa said...
To address Jamie's point, I guess if kids were all placed where they belonged academically, there would be such a wide age-range in every class that one poor small child wouldn't stand out quite so much.
I love the idea of schools organizing their schedules so that subjects are taught in the same time periods for all grades, and kids can just trundle down the hall to the one that's at their level.
Why is that so hard for school administrators to conceptualize, let alone attempt?
- gasstationwithoutpumps said...
I was very small throughout grade school and high school. I would have been the youngest in my grade even if I hadn't skipped a year. There was some bullying, but there probably would have been just as much if I had been a year older, as I got my growth late anyway. I was 19 when I got my BS, but I didn't get my PhD until I was 28. Grad school was fun!
I haven't pushed for my son to be grade skipped, though he is at least as smart as I was, because we've had pretty good luck with schools giving him placement by achievement in math, and ok differentiation in English and history. Science has been the main problem with getting decent education, and moving up a year would not have helped.
- Kumar Singam said...
Mathews is simply parroting what many of us have said and accomplished in the Washington, DC metro area. See:
Asia has long embraced grade-skipping, albeit quietly. Grade-skipping works. However, its popularity is diminished by the lack of a label with a cachet that parents would like.
Whether grade skipping works or not depends on the quality of the school and the demographics. My child was skipped in elementary after the district dropped ability/acheivement grouping for LA & math and went to whole class full inclusion; it was fun for the first days, then the depth and pace issues popped up. We ended up doing independent study with him and using the services of the school psychologist so that he wouldn't be harmed by the more jealous new classmates. Middle school as a younger kid has been just fine..no issues at all other than slow rate&pace and plenty of mature, peaceful classmates in the honors program.
Most students would be served better by going back to acheivement/ability grouping so that they can work at their instructional level and pace most of the time in the classroom.
I saw this article reprinted in our local paper with your name mentioned. I wish there was more opportunity for subject acceleration. Grade skipping can work really well for some kids, but it is hard to know at a young age how they will mature. My oldest would have been a good candidate for a skip academically, but socially he was behind and his willingness to tackle challenges needed time to mature. He was much better served by challenging classes and outside activities. Subject acceleration would have served him even better.
- Kari said...
I agree that grade skipping should be back in fashion -- with a caveat. I skipped a grade, and both of my children are also a year ahead. Good moves for both of them, so far.
The caveat is that I'd love to see the "gap year" come into fashion in this country, especially for bright kids who finish high school young but could use a little finishing off before college. Volunteering, travel, work -- that year can give kids a lot and let them grow up a little more. I didn't get it, and wish I had, so I'm planning to build it in for my kids.

Rebecca bat Meir Tiktiner was a Yiddish writer, whose works include a treatise on Jewish ethics in line with the mussar movement and a poem about Simchat Torah. She lived in the 16th century and was buried in Prague; she died circa 1550.[1] She or her father probably resided in the northeast Poland town of Tykocin.[2] According to the records of the Altneushul, she was married to someone with rabbinic training (ha-rav rabbi).[3]
The ethical treatise, "Meneket Rivkah" (Prague, 1609. Cracow, 1618), is 36 folios long and organized by seven gates. The author focuses on the duties of a housewife in various relationships (e.g., to husband or guest) as well as a general ethical approach, dealing with niddah, health social practices (von Rohde, 2007b). The treatise includes stories from the Talmud and midrashic literature. Tiktiner differentiates between the wisdom of the body and of the soul (guf and nefesh). This practical guidelines "paint a vivid picture of Jewish women's daily lives in the early modern period." Von Rohde claims that this is "probably the first substantive published book in Yiddish written by a Jewish women." (von Rohde 2007b).
In the poem, Tiktiner provides 40 couplets that rhyme and end in hallelujah (von Rohden, 2007b). The poem provides a vernacular alternative to those who struggled reading the traditional Hebrew hymns (Zinberg 1975:51).

"You could pass by a landscape hundreds of times and then, one fine day, suddenly, be attracted and captivated by it. The landscape is still the same you passed by many times, but the light has rendered it more attractive. It is the same thing for a face. It happens that, looking in a mirror, one may find one's face more beautiful today than yesterday. I think that this has nothing to do with one's skin, with one having slept well the night before, or with one being happy inside. Of course, all that I have mentioned is undeniable, but what has made one's face more beautiful today than yesterday is only light; adequate light. One must pay attention to the light."
Abbas Kiarostami
In his Snow White photographic series, Kiarostami explores solitary scenes of snowy landscapes, capturing the mountains on the shores of the Caspian. Such works are the result of the artists long walks in search of film locations, leading him to stunningly desolate areas of Iran which, when captured as still images, evoke a sense of meditative solitude. At times, the viewer is left to contemplate a detail of the landscape such as the motif of a tree or shoot while audiences are also presented with breathtaking panoramic views, highlighting the overwhelming impact of nature. There is also a charming simplicity to these works, as expressed in a poem written by Kiarostami as the opening verse of his Snow White catalogue for the collection:
"On a snowy morning
I run out
hatless and coatless
happy as a child"
(Abbas Kiarostami, Snow White: Abbas Kiarostami Photo Collection, 1978-2004, 2005).

The following commentary comes from an independent investor or market observer as part of TheStreet's guest contributor program, which is separate from the company's news coverage. By Tom Taulli NEW YORK ( InvestorPlace) -- While investors try to anticipate next quarter's earnings results or even examine the big picture in Europe, it's really important to stand back and look at the even bigger picture. It might not be easy, but it's what top-notch investors like Berkshire Hathaway's ( BRK.A) Warren Buffett do. It takes guts and patience, but the payoff can be big. One thing to look for is secular trends, which can be powerful forces that propel growth. A big one to consider: population growth. On Halloween, the world population hit 7 billion. And according to estimates from the United Nations, it might reach 10 billion by the end of the century.
Also see: This mega-trend undoubtedly will have a variety of major impacts on investments. Here are some to focus on: Top 5 Blue-Chip Stocks To Buy
Also see: A top company in the industry is Mosaic ( MOS). It ranks No. 1 for the production of phosphates and No. 3 for potash. More importantly, the company has tremendous barriers to entry because the number of deposits is concentrated in a few areas. Never Sell These 3 Stocks Also see: There are some solutions, such as investment in irrigation, which reduces waste and helps provide cleaner water. A top company in the sector is Lindsay Corp. ( LNN). Founded in 1955, it manufactures equipment to help conserve water and lower energy and labor costs. Lindsay Corp. also has been pushing innovation through GPS systems and smartphone applications. Economy's Latest Enemy -- Mother Nature

USA has been the preferred destination of choice for students from India and other south Asian countries. The primary factors in selecting a US university is Cost of the Education (Tuition + Other fees+ Living expenses). If you wish to study Ms the USA you will need to qualify the entry requirement and these may vary university wise. GRE/TOEFL or IELTS test is necessary prior to admission (depends upon the university). Try to short list 5 to 10 universities and submit the online applications prior to the dead line date i.e. 3 to 4 months before the start date of the program. Fall and spring are the two major intakes and some universities will have summer intake also. You can find the list of universities in USA at Uniguru website.

Genetic drift is...
What produces new alleles at a locus?
Which of the following answers is the appropriate explanation for this phenomenon: In most species of non-domesticated animals, coat color tends to be various shades of gray and brown. Very few individuals are white unless they are members of a species that acquires a white winter coat. (Hint: white is highly visible except in snow, and moreover, lack of pigment reduces protection from ultraviolet radiation.)
Britain's Queen Victoria was a carrier for the allele that causes hemophilia and she passed this allele on to some of her descendants. However, there is absolutely no evidence of anyone in Queen Victoria's ancestry having hemophilia. What is the most likely explanation for her possessing the hemophilia allele?
Founder's Effect is a form of genetic drift.
Breeding populations (or demes) are the equivalent of species.
Evolution can be seen as a two-stage process that includes
What can cause allele frequencies to change in populations?
Inbreeding is considered an evolutionary force because it can change allele frequencies in the population.
An example of microevolution would be
If one parent is heterozygous for a dominant trait, and the other parent is homozygous recessive, then there is a ____ chance of having an affected child.
Which of the following answers is the appropriate explanation for this phenomenon: The inhabitants of the island of Tristan da Cunha are all descended from one family and a few sailors. The incidence of a rare eye disorder is much higher in these islanders than in other human populations. Presumably, at least one of the original island settlers carried the allele for the trait. The disorder has an abnormally high frequency in this small population because many or most can trace descent from this one member of a small group of colonists.
What is the single source of new genetic material in any population?
Both consanguinity (inbreeding) and negative assortative mating tend to result in high levels of heterozygosity (numerous heterozygotes) in the breeding population.
Which of the following answers is the appropriate explanation for this phenomenon: In a group of hunter-gatherers, there were no individuals with blood type B. But, a few generations after this group had begun exchanging mating partners with another group, there were several members with blood type B.
The fact that human babies tend to be born within a narrow range of weights is thought to be the product of directional selection.

Towards cross-middleware authentication and single sign-on for ARC Grid middleware

When pursuing the task of making access to Grids as simple as possible, security is one of the most important challenges in production Grid infrastructures, especially when the Grid applications span multiple administrative domains as well as heterogeneous Grid middlewares. A typical example is wide scale e-Science applications which need to coordinate resources shared among a number of independent institutions with different Grid middlewares deployed on these resources. In this paper, we describe security implementation and considerations used in the upcoming version of the Advanced Resource Connector (ARC) middleware, where the heterogeneity issue has been addressed. The main goal of ARC implementation in terms of security is to let the middleware be capable of interoperating with other Grid middlewares by leveraging on standard specifications. The key aspect of the work is to enhance the current proxy certificate based authentication and single sign-on by utilizing and enhancing the standardized Web Service specifications such as Security Assertion Markup Languages (SAML), single sign-on (SSO) profile and Web Services Security in order to achieve cross-middleware authentication and single sign-on.

About the Creator
The Red Table & A Scared Black Cat
The Netherlands
I remember my mom copying drawings from my kids books so I could bring them to school back in Salamanca, Spain, in the late 70's. I remember creating fantasy worlds full of colors and talking animals to share with my blind grandfather, he will pass his hand over the paper as I will describe it for him.
