4little1s.com baby gifts web site explains the Google PageRank algorithm
PR (A) = (1-d) +d (PR(t1)/C(t1) + %u2026 + PR(tn) /C (TN))
While appearing not to be a totally exclusive factor, having a good
page rank appears to help your position within Google. I say ‘appears’
as the overall algorithm to a high position does change, so while one
day the emphasises is on xyz, it may and probably does change, once
people suddenly realise what they should be doing. DMOZ being a good
example of this!
As a mathematician by trade, starting the business was excellent for
my brain, but when we talk about Algorithms its heaven.
The equation above is actually quite easy to understand and I try to
explain as simply as I can:
PR is the actual Page Rank you are looking to get
A = The Web page in question (use your home page as an example)
d = A suppressive dampening effect variable I suggest a value of 0.85
is not far from the mark
t1..tn = Pages linking to (A) In this case we used our homepage
C = Is the number of links on the page that are outbound to other
sites you have linked to

WIkiwijs gaat gebruik maken van CNX (Connexions)
leuk, Wikiwijs gaat gebruik maken van de Connexions software, het eerste grootschalige initiatief voor open educational resources op het net, zelfs nog voor Wikipedia.
Ontwikkelen
Welkom bij het onderdeel Ontwikkelen van Wikiwijs.
Dit onderdeel biedt je de mogelijkheid om zelf, stap voor stap, digitaal leermateriaal te ontwikkelen en te publiceren.
Omdat Wikiwijs nog volop in ontwikkeling is, is dit onderdeel nog niet geïntegreerd in Wikiwijs. Er is nu gekozen voor een externe applicatie: Connexions.
Dat betekent dat je Wikiwijs verlaat op het moment dat je leermateriaal wilt gaan ontwikkelen. Connexions wordt op dit moment zonder Wikiwijs-aanpassingen aangeboden en daarom is alles ook in het Engels.
Het materiaal dat je binnen Connexions ontwikkelt en publiceert, is nog niet binnen Wikiwijs terug te vinden, alleen binnen Connexions zelf.
In de toekomst zal Connexions meer een onderdeel worden van Wikiwijs en zal dit wel gerealiseerd kunnen worden.

Participants wanted for a TRULY FUN fMRI study on decision making
————— Forwarded message —————

Subject: Participants wanted for a TRULY FUN fMRI study on decision making
To: xxxxx
Apologies for cross-posting!
Dear Candidate,
We are again looking for male volunteers to participate in a TRULY FUN (believe me!) fMRI experiment on decision making in which you will have to rate the attractiveness of erotic pictures. You can participate if you are male, right-handed, meet the medical requirements listed below and if you haven’t participated in this study before.
Your participation will consist of two parts: First, a screening part in which we will test some behavioural data, and, if you qualify, then the actual fMRI experiment. The screening takes approx. 1 hour and will determine whether you are suitable to do the fMRI experiment (we need to check whether, for example, any medical condition precludes you from participating). The screening can be done online and at your own pace. The fMRI experiment takes 1.5 hours, during which you will be in the fMRI scanner for about 1 hour. Your will earn 5 Euros for the screening plus 20 Euros for the fMRI session, hence a total of 25 Euros. If you cannot participate in the fMRI experiment, you will still be reimbursed with 5 Euros. Additionally, if you qualify for scanning, you get the chance to get an image of your own brain. The scanner is located at the Academic Medical Center (near metro station Holendrecht).
Note: you can only participate if you have not participated in this experiment before, and if you are male, heterosexual, right-handed and don’t wear glasses (contact lenses are fine). You cannot participate if you are claustrophobic or if you have any non-removable metal parts in or on your body, such as non-removable piercings, prostheses, pacemakers….
Good news: Dutch as a native language is not a requirement. If you decide to participate, we will provide you with more information about the study and details concerning the scanner.
The behavioural screening can be accessed at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=hRXdmjVRhU3SSUlsC0Bvsg_3d_3d

If you are interested and can participate, please complete the online screening questionnaire at the URL provided above. PLEASE DO NOT FORGET TO FILL IN YOUR CORRECT EMAIL ADDRESS ONLINE WHEN PROMPTED TO DO SO. Otherwise we will not be able to contact your for payment and for the fMRI experiment.
If you have any questions, please reply to this address: Tobias.Kalenscher@gmail.com (first come, first serve). Please provide you telephone number so we can contact you if necessary.
Best,

===============================================================
CALL FOR PAPERS and POSTERS
Agent-Directed Simulation Symposium (ADS’10)
Orlando, Florida, USA
April 12-14, 2010
http://www.site.uottawa.ca/~oren/conf-org/ADS_2010/ADS-CFP.htm
Manuscript Submission: November 30, 2009.
Sponsored by The Society for Modeling and Simulation
International (SCS) in collaboration with ACM/SIGSIM.
==============================================================
As part of the 2010 Spring Simulation Multi-conference (SpringSim’10) http://www.scs.org/confernc/springsim/springsim10/springsim10.htm
the 2010 Agent-Directed Simulation Symposium is a premier platform to
explore all three aspects of the synergy of simulation and agent
technologies. Hence, it has a special place within simulation and
agent conferences, including agent-based (social) simulation
conferences. Therefore the ADS symposium fills a gap in the agent
community as well as the simulation community.
The purpose of the ADS symposium is to facilitate dissemination of the
most recent advancements in the theory, methodology, application, and
toolkits of agent-directed simulation. Agent-directed simulation is
comprehensive in the integration of agent and simulation technologies,
by including models that use agents to develop domain-specific
simulations, i.e., agent simulation (this is often referred to as
agent-based simulation -when other two important aspects are not
considered), and by also including the use of agent technology to
develop simulation techniques and toolkits that are subsequently
applied, either with or without agents.
Hence, agent-directed simulation consists of three distinct, yet
related areas that can be grouped under two categories as follows:
1. Simulation for Agents (agent simulation): simulation of agent
systems in engineering, human and social dynamics, military
applications etc.
2. Agents for Simulation (which has two aspects): agent-supported
simulation deals with the use of agents as a support facility to
enable computer assistance in problem solving or enhancing
cognitive capabilities; and agent-based simulation that focuses
on the use of agents for the generation of model behavior in a
simulation study.
Through the theme of agent-directed simulation, the symposium will
bring together agent technologies, tools, toolkits, platforms,
languages, methodologies, and applications in a pragmatic manner. In
this symposium, established researchers, educators, and students are
encouraged to come together and discuss the benefits of agent
technology in their use and application for simulation. It is a way
for people to discuss why and how they have used agent technology in
their simulations, and describe the benefit of having done so.
The theme of ADS’10 is based on the observation of the following
premises.
* The growth of new advanced distributed computing standards along
with the rapid rise of e-commerce are providing a new context that
acts as a critical driver for the development of next generation
systems. These standards revolve around service-oriented
technologies, pervasive computing, web-services, Grid, autonomic
computing, ambient intelligence etc. The supporting role that
intelligent agents play in the development of such systems is
becoming pervasive, and simulation plays a critical role in the
analysis and design of such systems.
* The use of emergent agent technologies at the organization,
interaction (e.g., coordination, negotiation, communication) and
agent levels (i.e. reasoning, autonomy) are expected to advance
the state of the art in various application technologies is
difficult. Using agent-supported simulation techniques for
testing complex agent systems is up and coming field.
* To facilitate bridging the gap between research and application,
there is a need for tools, agent programming languages, and
methodologies to analyze, design, and implement complex,
non-trivial agent-based simulations. Existing agent-based
simulation tools are still not mature enough to enable developing
agents with varying degrees cognitive and reasoning capabilities.
ADS’10 will provide a leading forum to bring together researchers and
practitioners from diverse simulation societies within computer science,
social sciences, engineering, business, education, human factors, and
systems engineering. The involvement of various agent-directed
simulation groups will enable the cross-fertilization of ideas and
development of new perspectives by fostering novel advanced solutions,
as well as enabling technologies for agent-directed simulation
AUTHOR GUIDE
* Technical papers provide a longer format for presenting experience
reports, research results, or descriptions of ”work in progress”.
They are limited to 8 pages.
* Short position papers are targeted at raising a question or framing
an issue for discussion during the symposium. Position papers are
limited to 3 pages.
* Poster presentations present an opportunity to present work in
progress and receive feedback from colleagues. A one page write-up
of the poster presentations will be included in the proceedings.
(For all, required font sizes are: min 10 pt for text and min 9 pt for
figures or references).
Papers should be submitted electronically to
http://www.softconf.com/scs/ADS10/ .
All papers will be subject to a peer-reviewing process by three program

New plans offer 5x the storage space
The Wikidot professional plans now offer five times the storage space for your wiki attachments. Pro-lite accounts get 15 GB (instead of 3 GB), Pro accounts get 50 GB (instead of 10 GB), and Pro-plus accounts get 100 GB (instead of 20 GB).
The roadmap to your wiki’s future
The Wikidot Roadmap project gives us a sense of direction for where Wikidot is heading. It’s a way for you to show the Wikidot developers which feature you want them to implement next. This complements the weneed list at the official blog site. The Roadmap project website lets you make pledges to the development of the software. This effectively lets you buy features. It’s completely risk-free as you can withdraw your pledge at any time, even after the feature has been added!
New prices, 50%-off special offer
The Wikidot Blog points out that Wikidot Inc. has doubled the prices of its Pro accounts. “A Pro-Lite account now costs $49.90 (€49.90 incl. VAT) for a year, and a Pro-Plus account now costs $239.90 (€239.00 incl. VAT) for a year. You can see the new prices on our plans page.”
Wikidot: profitable after 3 years
The Wikidot blog reports that Wikidot is making a growing profit. “When we launched Wikidot.com three years ago we had the vision of offering a reliable, fast, and economic way of building web sites, wikis, and social web applications. It was not clear, at the start, whether this plan would work.
