I am currently an Australian studying at ANU. I have worked as a tutor for about a year and now I am about to apply for a Ph.D. program in the states. Since the US uses TA (teaching assistant) instead of tutor (at least my institution uses this term.) When listing my teaching experience, shall I use TA or tutor as a title? Are they the same thing?  I run labs or tutorials, I mark exams and assignments and so on.)
It seems to me that the terms "Teaching Assistant" and "Instructor" refer to a variety of positions. At some places, a teaching assistant is responsible for things like helping the actual lecturer by handing out papers, grading homework, etc., and instructors hold recitation sessions.  At other places, I saw the term "instructor" referring to the lecturer giving the course, while a teaching assistant is the person doing anything else (recitations, grading etc.).  Is there some widely accepted definition of the two positions?  For context: The question arose because I wasn't sure whether I'm using the correct terms in my CV -- I am a math graduate student, and I would like to make a distinction between jobs in which I only graded course assignments/final exams, and courses in which I held recitation classes* (and also participated in grading the final exams). Is it OK to use "Instructor" for the latter? What should the former be referred to as?  *In the course I'm currently teaching, the recitations are planned and written by the ones giving them (without the professors' supervision). Also, the people giving the recitations are not necessarily grad students (some already hold a PhD). I'm elaborating on that because from what I've seen, some of it could be relevant for the definition of the job.

I am able to call the PostGIS layer into QGIS but i am unable to add feature to it. I am using the method of adding features to a Shapefile but still it is not getting reflected in the layer, and I don't know how to save it to the PostGIS database if I am able to add the feature to the PostGIS layer.  I may not have used some technical term for this problem because i don't know what to call it, I am expressing the problem in my own terms. I'm just wondering how it is possible that IGN.com has this in its title tag:      Video Games, Cheats, Walkthroughs, Game Trailers, Reviews, News, Previews &amp; Videos at IGN   while on Google its title is simply "IGN".   How can one achieve such a thing? Does it use some special meta tag I can't see? I'm building a small chat.

Prove $\binom{n}{a}\binom{n-a}{b-a} = \binom{n}{b}\binom{b}{a}$ I want to prove this equation, $$ \binom{n}{a}\binom{n-a}{b-a} = \binom{n}{b}\binom{b}{a} $$ I thought of proving this equation by prove that you are using different ways to count the same set of balls and get the same result.

I saw several bugs and error messages when I was looking by chance into the tool called "logs".  Being a newbie in Ubuntu I have no idea how to deal with these bugs, where to report them or how to fix them.  Any help to guide me here?  The bug I have (which is listed under important) reads:  [Firmware Bug]: TSC_DEADLINE disabled due to Errata; please update microcode to version: 0x52 (or later) Hiding and redirecting extensions on my webpage $ d = \gcd(a,b)\Rightarrow\ \gcd(a/d,b/d) = 1$ Could someone please help me with this proof?     Suppose that $a, b \in N$, and $d = \gcd(a, b)$. Since $d$ divides $a$, we have $a = de$ for some integer $e,$ and similarly $b = df$ for some integer $f$. Prove that $\gcd(e, f) = 1$.   I understand why it works. Since d is all the common factors of $a$ and $b, e$ and $f$ had no common factors, therefore the $\gcd(e,f) = 1$. But how do I prove this?  Thanks in advance.

What is wrong with code snippets/blocks on Stack Overflow? I wasn't following Meta Stack Overflow too closely so maybe something was changed that I'm not aware of. But each time I paste a snippet from a Python console I'm getting wrong formatting. What I'm doing wrong? It seems that &gt;&gt;&gt; is confusing for Stack Overflow. I've tried to escape it with backslashes, and it was working fine in preview but doesn't work after the question is rendered.  I was able to observe that problem on: recent Chrome (Windows, Mac), Safari 4 (Mac).  Here is  I wasn't able to make right.  Funny, I think the snippets are rendered just fine on Meta Stack Overflow.

I'm interested if there's an intuitive explanation, or even a combinatorial interpretation of this property. I would also like to see any other proofs. What are the rules of parallelism? I've been reading a lot about it since yesterday and all I encounter is "They must have the same grammatical form"? What does this exactly mean?  I know how to make parallel sentences with gerunds. The things get trickier when it comes to using modifiers.  For example:     I love using the phone that you bought me and the computer.   On the left side of the conjunction there is a noun phrase that consists of an article + noun + another modifier and on the right side there is an article + noun.  They are both noun phrases but the first one has additional modifier. Is that still considered a parallel sentence?  Another example:     I like to swim and to feel good.   Here on the right side of the conjunction there is an infinitive and on the left side there is an infinitive + complement? Is that parallel? Extracting Z data from point layer using ArcGIS Desktop?

Sets with no asymptotical density over $\mathbb N$ Let's consider the  defined by:      Take $ A\subset \mathbb N$; define the sequence $x_n= \dfrac{|A\cap[1,n]|}{n}$, and then if $\lim\limits_{n\to\infty} x_n$ exists, call it $d(A)$, the density of $A$ over $\mathbb N$.

Please help me )= Gravitational waves as dark energy? The sum of an uncountable number of positive numbers Claim: If $(x_\alpha)_{\alpha\in A}$ is a collection of real numbers $x_\alpha\in [0,\infty]$ such that $\sum_{\alpha\in A}x_\alpha&lt;\infty$, then $x_\alpha=0$ for all but at most countably many $\alpha\in A$ ($A$ need not be countable).  Proof: Let $\sum_{\alpha\in A}x_\alpha=M&lt;\infty$. Consider $S_n=\{\alpha\in A \mid x_\alpha&gt;1/n\}$.  Then $M\geq\sum_{\alpha\in S_n}x_\alpha&gt;\sum_{\alpha\in S_n}1/n=\frac{N}{n}$, where $N\in\mathbb{N}\cup\{\infty\}$ is the number of elements in $S_n$.  Thus $S_n$ has at most $Mn$ elements.   Hence $\{\alpha\in A \mid x_\alpha&gt;0\}=\bigcup_{n\in\mathbb{N}}S_n$ is countable as the countable union of finite sets. $\square$  First, is my proof correct? Second, are there more concise/elegant proofs?
