What is the Nvidia GeForce GTX 960?
The second generation of Nvidia's Maxwell hardware arrived with the high-end GTX 980 and GTX 970 cards back in September, but it's taken until now for mainstream parts to arrive. That's where the GTX 960 comes in; it's designed for 1080p gaming, and its £160 price is far more palatable than its high-end stablemates.
This card also has plenty of competition. AMD has a pair of mid-range parts that have been made more tempting because of recent price drops. There's the Radeon R9 285, which is ten pounds cheaper than Nvidia's latest card, and the R9 280X that now starts at £175.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 960: Under the Hood
Maxwell is all about achieving better performance while cutting power consumption. Nvidia has done this by rearranging its stream processors – the parts that do the heavy lifting inside a GPU core.
Nvidia has long arranged these processors into blocks called streaming multiprocessors, which are then crammed inside larger structures called Graphics Processing Clusters (GPCs). Cards from Nvidia's previous generation had 192 stream processors inside each multiprocessor, but that figure has now been cut down to 128. Each multiprocessor now has its own scheduling hardware, and the new card has double the number of geometry units when compared to last-generation GPUs.
There are four of those smaller multiprocessors inside each GPC, which allows Nvidia to delegate tasks with more precision – and, therefore, operate more frugally. It's an improvement over the "brute force" approach used on older cards, like the GTX 760, which had two larger multiprocessors per GPC. Maxwell's revised GPCs don't need as much resource-sharing hardware, either, which further cuts down power draw.
Maxwell's more precise approach means fewer stream processors are used overall. The GTX 960 has 1,024 divided across two Graphics Processing Clusters, which is down on the 1,152 installed inside the older GTX 760. That's allowed clock speeds to increase: the GTX 960's core runs at 1,127MHz with a maximum boost speed of 1,228MHz. The GTX 760, by contrast, was limited to 980MHz and 1,124MHz.
Nvidia's changes result in a peak processing level of 2,308 GFLOPs. That's a minor improvement on the 2,257 GFLOPs of the GTX 760 but it does of course come with those power saving benefits. It is, however, further below its AMD rivals, both of which offer at least 3,290 GFLOPs.
The GTX 960's memory configuration isn't all that impressive. Its 2GB of GDDR5 is accessed using a 128-bit wide bus, which falls behind AMD's cards – the 280X used a 384-bit interface, while the R9 285 relies on 256-bit hardware. Nvidia's memory is clocked to 1,753MHz, but we're not convinced that this higher speed will make up the deficit. The GTX 960's memory bandwidth sits at 224GB/s, which is higher than the R9 285 but lower than the R9 280X.
Evidence of Maxwell's increased efficiency can be seen at the back of every card. The GTX 960 requires just one six-pin power connector, which compares well to AMD's hardware – the R9 285 needs two six-pin connectors, and the R9 280X needs a six- and eight-pin plug.
We've locked and loaded five games for this GPU test. Battlefield 4, Bioshock Infinite and Crysis 3 all return from our previous reviews, and we've added Metro: Last Light and Batman: Arkham Origins to the mix. We've tested at 1,920 x 1,080, 2,560 x 1,440 and even 3,840 x 2,160 to see which card is best across single-screens – and to check if any of them can handle 4K.
We've used 3D Mark's Fire Strike test and four Unigine Heaven benchmarks to test theoretical performance, and we've taken idle and load temperatures and power requirements to see which card is the coolest and most frugal.
Our test rig consists of an Asus X79-Deluxe motherboard, Intel Core i7-4960X processor, 16GB of RAM and a 1TB hard disk.
To get prices for each card we visited www.scan.co.uk and noted down the cheapest stock-speed card we could find, although we will be referring to the various overclocked and tweaked models available for each GPU, which will be more expensive, later on in the review.

Battlefield 4, Bioshock Infinite, Crysis 3 and Batman: Arkham Origins performance Review

Relieved of their structures, can these properties bounce back?
That picture shows a shocking amount of topography on that property, for Houston.
I haven't been this excited about a demo day since Ella Square got the bulldozer treatment. The house pictured above has been an eyesore for many years, and, with the exception of what is likely the largest Azalea bush in the Gulf Coast region, utterly without redeeming qualities. Here's hoping its replacement has no turrets.
That house is 780 sq. ft. 70+ years old, on a 10,000 sq. ft. corner lot; bound to have lots of mature vegitation. Now that the property is owned by a developer, I think it is safe to expect 2 stories, 3000 sq. ft, and all the to-do that goes with Garden Oaks deed restrictions.
In this case, "topography" = drainage swale, in all likelihood.
You're right, the lighting and angle made me think the other side of the drainage ditch in the foreground was flat.
Going on a tangent, if you look at the Google Street view of this house, the house next door is completely blurred out. I've never seen that before for an entire house. Any idea why?
Google generally blurs out things it identifies as license plates or faces. Evidently it thought that house was a license plate.
Or, some nutball paid them $1000 to do it.
It's 70+ years old? Why no historic argument to keep it from the wrecking ball?

Despite the recent retirement of the great Sachin Tendulkar, the future of Indian cricket appears bright, as Cheadle Hulme School's young visiting protégé has become a record breaker, slamming 546 runs in a schoolboy match in Mumbai.
Prithvi Shaw, who spent four months at the leading independent school in Cheshire in 2012, made the batting record in India's Harris Shield, a tournament in which Tendulkar himself first came to public attention.
Shaw attended the School as part of a pioneering educational exchange programme in which top cricketers from India are exposed to different playing conditions, educational systems and cultures.
The programme, which was piloted by the School and has now been replicated nationally, was launched by former England Universities' cricketer and surgeon Dr Samir Pathak and CHS Teacher, Mr John Wilson.
Head, Lucy Pearson, whose own international cricket career saw her break a world record as she opened the bowling for the England Women's team for nine years, said: "It was an honour to welcome Prithvi to the School, where he not only gained experience of playing cricket in different conditions but also learned about School life and culture in England through his time with a generous support network of host families.
The School has hosted three Indian cricketers to date and aims to continue the programme this year. The most recent visitor was Mumbai cricketer, Khizar Dafedar who attended upon the recommendation of former Indian Test Captain and chairman of selectors, Dilip Vengsarkar.

Q: $g$ a restriction of a homeomorphic function $f$, $g$ also homeomorphic? Let $f:X \to Y$ be a homeomorphism between topological spaces $X$ and $Y$. Let $A \subseteq X$ and $B = f(A) \subseteq Y$ (given the subspace topology) and let $g: A \to B$ be the restriction of $f$ given by $g(a) = f(a)$ for $a \in A$.
Showing that $g$ is a homeomorphism.

*

*$g$ injective

Let $g(a_1) = g(a_2)$, $a_1, a_2 \in A$.
$\implies f(a_1) = f(a_2)$
$\implies a_1 = a_2$ as $f$ homeomorphic.

*

*g surjective

Let $y \in B$
$\implies y = f(a)$ for some $a \in A$.
$\implies y = g(a)$ for some $a \in A$.

*

*$g$ continuous

Let $U \subseteq B$ be an open set in $B$.
$f(a) = g(a)$ for all $a \in A => f^{-1}(b) = g^{-1}(b)$ for all $b \in B$.
So $g^{-1}(U) = f^{-1}(U)$ which is open in $A$ as $f$ homeomorphic.

*

*$g^{-1}$ continuous

Let $U \subseteq A$ be an open set in $A$.
$g(U) = f(U)$ which is open in $B$ as $f$ homeomorphic.
So $g$ is homeomorphic.
Is my understanding correct, this seems almost too straightforward so I was wondering have I overlooked something?

A: In the part about continuity, note that $U\subseteq B$ open in $B$ means only that $U=B\cap U'$, where $U'$ is open in $Y$. Then
$$g^{-1}(U)=f^{-1}(U)\cap A=f^{-1}(U')\cap f^{-1}(B)\cap A=f^{-1}(U')\cap A$$
so it is an open subset of $A$. This equation works as long as $f(A)⊆B$.
Or show the continuity of $g$ by the following diagram
$$\begin{array}{ccc}
\ A & \xrightarrow{i} & X\\
g\downarrow & & \ \downarrow f\\
\ B & \xrightarrow{j} & Y
\end{array}$$
By the universal property, $g$ is continuous if $jg$ is, but that's the same as $fi$ which is a composition of continuous functions.
You could also try to find the inverse of $g$. If $\bar f:Y→X$ denotes the inverse of $f$, then its restriction $\bar g$ to $B$ is a map $\bar g:B\to A$ since $\bar f(B)=f^{-1}(B)=f^{-1}(f(A))=A$. Now
$$\bar gg(a)=\bar ff(a)=a\qquad g\bar g(b)=f\bar f(b)=b$$
So $g $ and $\bar g$ are inverse to each other.

From Sicilian mob bosses to Venetian artists, this pizza precurser has been enjoyed all over Italy. It's such a well loved part of Italian culture that at one point, it was granted special exemption from a nationwide tax on bread. Made with slugs of olive oil, the classic flatbread boasts impressive heart-health credentials (you can even make your own focaccia bread if you have time). The recipe below features broccoli that's been charred – which lets it retain far more immunity-boosting vitamin C than boiling – plus antioxidant-rich red cabbage to protect the body from the effects of damaging free radicals after a lunchtime gym session.
Step 2: As the egg boils, slice the broccoli florets and cook them in the oil for four to five minutes, turning frequently, until lightly charred around the edges.
Step 3: As the broccoli chars, thinly slice your egg.
Step 4: Slice the focaccia and spread the mustard and mayonnaise evenly on one side.
Step 5: Layer the broccoli on the other side with the egg slices, pickled cabbage and cheese.
Goodness Gracious, Great Energy Balls of Fire!

The Tarsoly Band was formed in 2010 and it is composed of 23-28-year-old young musicians. Since some of our members come from the region along the Galga River the folk music of this region became the starting point of our work together but other dialects of the Hungarian-speaking territory are equally in our repertoire. In the founding year of our group we won a special prize at the folk music competition in Tápiószentmárton and a Nivo-prize in Bonyhád. In 2011 we came in fourth place out of 50 contestants at the talent show called Folkbeats. That same year we released and toured with our first record entitled "On a Saturday Night". In 2012-13 we played for the Hungarian State Folk Ensemble on its guest performances. In 2012 our cooperation with the river cruising company Avalon Waterways developed a new side of the band and further broadend our experience. In 2013 we got into the semi-final of the television talent show in folk music and dance called "Fölszállott a Páva". That was the year when we launched our cooperation with the Szilas Folk Dance Ensembe and have since then achieved outstanding results and qualifications in numerous folk festivals. In the summer of 2015 and 2016 we were honored to be the official musicians in rehearsals and dance houses of the summer camp of the popular television talent show "Fölszállott a páva" (The peacock takes its perch).2015 marked the beginning of our cooperation with the Bartina Folkdance Ensemble with whom we continue to represent and promote Hungarian culture.In 2016, we won an award of excellence at the Folkdance Festival of Szekszárd.
We our devoted to continuing to build the good reputation of Hungarian culture in Europe and beyond.

(Video) NBA round-up: Indiana Pacers cruise past Denver Nuggets in 39-point win
Sumeet Paul
West leads by example and guides Pacers to dominant win.
There were six games on the NBA schedule on Monday night, with the Indiana Pacers securing their biggest win of the season so far against the Denver Nuggets.
David West scored 25 points in less than 27 minutes while Roy Hibbert added 14 as the NBA's top team moved to 40-11 for the season.
"We played with the right attitude. We came out aggressively. We got off to a good start," West said. "Tonight, we made a concentrated effort to get to the goal. No letdowns."
Indiana have the league's best record, the best home mark (25-2) and the best defense as they now lead the Miami Heat by four games at the top of the Eastern Conference.
Paul George finished with just 12 points, five rebounds and four assists, but such was Indiana's dominance in the contest that coach Frank Vogel was able to rest his entire starting line-up for the whole of the fourth quarter.
The Nuggets have been left short-handed by injuries, with Wilson Chandler stepping up to post 17 points and 5 rebounds as their best performer on the night.
Elsewhere, the Detroit Pistons got a reaction in John Loyer's first game in charge as interim coach following the firing of Maurice Cheeks, by sealing a home win over the San Antonio Spurs.
Brandon Jennings finished with 21 points while Rodney Stuckey and Greg Monroe added 20 and 15 respectively, with the latter grabbing a double-double with 10 rebounds.
Marco Belinelli led the Spurs with 20 points, but coach Gregg Popovich was disappointed as he described the team's defensive play as "the worst defense we've played all season".
San Antonio were still without Manu Ginobili and Kawhi Leonard, as the Pistons made it five straight wins at The Palace after a 7-15 home start.
The Golden State Warriors were also victorious on Monday night, with Marreese Speights scoring a career-high 32 points and grabbing eight rebounds in the win over the Philadelphia 76ers.
It was a night to forget for the Sixers, with forward Evan Turner revealing that they players wouldn't be turning on the TV or reading the papers after a 43-point loss.
Stephen Curry added 23 points and eight assists as Golden State coach Mark Jackson called the performance a "thing of beauty" as the Warriors moved to 31-21 for the season while Philadelphia slip to 15-38, with rookie Michael Carter-Williams top-scoring with 24 points.
Elsewhere, the Toronto Raptors returned to winning ways at home against the New Orleans Pelicans as Kyle Lowry had 19 points, seven rebounds and 12 assists, while Dwight Howard's double-double helped the Houston Rockets overcome Kevin Love (31 points and 10 rebounds) and the Minnesota Timberwolves.
NBA Results:
Denver Nuggets 80-119 Indiana Pacers
New Orleans Pelicans 101-108 Toronto Raptors
San Antonio Spurs 100-109 Detroit Pistons

Good Thursday and welcome to a much better weather day. The severe storms and flooding rains of last night have pushed on to our south and east. This is being replaced by cooler and drier air that hangs around into the start of the weekend.
A cold front continues to drop southward across the Ohio Valley early today. This may keep a few showers and isolated storms going across southern parts of the state early on. Partly sunny skies with highs in the mid to upper 70s will be noted across many areas.
Friday looks to be another nice day with a mix of sun and clouds with highs in the mid to upper 70s.
There may be just enough juice to spit out isolated showers into far southern and western Kentucky.
That's on the nose of warmer air that swings in by Saturday. Highs will be back into the low and middle 80s. Showers and storms won't be too far away and may push back into our region by Saturday evening or night.
Strong storms and heavy rainfall will be possible as that low scoots through. Scattered storms look to be common into much of next week as temps remain fairly close to normal.

CO2 Mashup – Largely Hot Air
Bruce Henderson | April 8, 2008

Word via io9 that Purdue has put together a map of the US showing their guess of CO2 emission density.
They call the System "Vulcan" and it's interesting because there is no sensor grid for CO2. Instead Vulcan derives a guess on CO2 density from local air pollution data from the EPA sensor grid. (here as well)
To create the Vulcan maps, the research team developed a method to extract the CO2 information by transforming data on local air pollution, such as carbon monoxide and nitrous oxide emissions, which are tracked by the Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Department of Energy and other governmental agencies.
While it's fun that they are trying to show this data, the science behind it is (in my opinion) quite flawed. First off, they do not have the means of directly measuring CO2, so they take a guess based on other air pollutants. One thing that drives me insane is opaque scientific data. If you are confident in your approach, share the source data and let us "trust but verify". Who knows how they cooked up their guess?
A preliminary analysis of the Vulcan data suggests that previous maps of U.S. fossil fuel emissions were inadequate for current scientific and policy-making needs, Gurney says.
"When you compare the old inventories to Vulcan, the new data show atmospheric CO2 differences that are as large as five parts per million in some U.S. regions in the late winter," he says. "The levels in the global atmosphere only rise one and a half part per million every year, so this is the equivalent of three years of global emissions in the atmosphere that isn't where we thought it was. This will be important for policy-makers and is enormous from a scientific point of view. It's shocking."
Anyone surprised that they are finding data that shows things are more severe than they thought? Give me a break people, how about some scientific honesty here?
Gurney is Kevin Gurney of the Purdue Climate Change Research Center (PCCRC). He is also the author of "Mending the Ozone Hole", which was another big scare in the 90's that caused massive misallocation of capital for something that turned out not to be a real problem after all.
I am surprised not to see massive CO2 "red spot" in eastern central California; an area of heavy volcanic emission of CO2, Carbon Monoxide and other "green house gasses". This omission alone calls the accuracy of this visualization into question.
Professor Gurney – how about CO2 uptake as well? Did you take vegetation into account in your models? The sad truth is we just don't know do we? We get the "cooked" data and have to trust someone who clearly is pushing an agenda. Advocacy journalism is bad, advocacy science is much worse (almost as bad as advocacy intelligence).
If I could wish for something here, it would be for the Global Warming shills on the take from "Big Green" would be more transparent in their sources and methods, and allow everyone who is skeptical to either convince themselves or point out the flaws.
A system such as Vulcan will be an important tool to understanding our lack of understanding of emissions and what impact (if any) they have on the environment. But it will require transparent methods for data collection, aggregation and display to be credible in what has become a politically driven, agenda subscribing sector of atmospheric science.

Built on the banks of the Great Fish River and surrounded by a series of hillocks and low mountains, Cradock lies in the Eastern Cape Midlands on the Johannesburg – Port Elizabeth route.
Its fascinating history dates back to the early 1800s when Cradock's streets teemed with transport riders, hunters, artisans, frontier militias and men of the cloth. During the Anglo-Boer War, British forces used a heliograph to communicate over long distances. They also used it to play chess in the Cradock area, from hilltop to hilltop, during quiet periods.
Author and women's rights activist Olive Schreiner wrote Story Of An African Farm on a farm near Cradock, and actually lived in the town for four years. Near the entrance to Cradock is the Monument to the Cradock Four, commemorating the Apartheid-era deaths of activists Matthew Goniwe, Fort Calata, Sparrow Mkhonto and Siklo Mhlaul.
