This event has ended.
David Richard Gallery presents Slow Burn by artist Galen Cheney in her first solo exhibition with the gallery in New York. The presentation includes 14 paintings from 2014 through 2021 that fall basically into two categories based on the artist's approach: painting on a stretched canvas versus painting in an unconfined way on unstretched supports that includes the addition of collaged canvas elements, fabrics and other materials that are then either stretched or hung unstretched as a tapestry.
Not surprising, the imagery is also distinctly different between the two approaches. First, color, vivid color, is a key component with both approaches. Second, the compositions differ between the two methodologies in that the paintings emerging on the stretched supports are a mix of gestural strokes, textured and sometimes impasto passages with blocky and layered forms of color and a balanced composition across the canvases. However, in the recently developed unbounded method, the compositions seem to evolve, more spontaneous with notable use of lyrical and directional lines that radiate from within the compositions, running off the canvas or into other collaged elements and a greater use of defined shapes ranging from geometric to loops and long sweeping curves—all combined with her love of nonobjective gestural and color field approaches to painting.
The primary curatorial objective of the presentation is the contrast between not only Cheney's two painting approaches, but the resulting differences in the compositions and imagery between the oil paintings initiated on stretched canvas and the larger collaged paintings initiated on unstretched canvas. However, the bigger question is why, what triggered the experimentation of both working larger and with collaged canvases not on supports?
Cheney's oil paintings on stretched canvas were very much influenced by her studio training, knowledge of art history and passion for Abstract Expressionism. All of her paintings until recently were painted on a stretched support, more out of habit and convention. Her awareness of art history and the rules of the road pressured her internally to make "good" paintings and like most artists, she is her harshest critic and treated a stretched canvas as precious. Cheney's compositions, color selections and process are all thoughtful and structured around the composition, line and palette on a fixed support—emphasis on "fixed". As Cheney said, these stretched canvases are an "inside-out approach". Meaning, the imagery and content come from within and move through her mind and body onto the canvas—lots of thinking and evaluating each action.
The genesis of the larger collage and "tapestry" canvases was a 2015 artist residency in China. Being detached form everything familiar, but surrounded by so many new materials, such as printed papers and inks and new influences, Cheney started cutting, gluing, collaging and inking her way to a new process and liberating experience. This was a profoundly different approach in that all of the materials were right in front of the artist, she did not have to produce anything. It was a matter of unshackling herself, throwing caution to the wind and having some fun just composing her paintings. Thus, according to the artist, it is more of an "outside-in approach" to painting—all of the materials were ready and waiting, it did not require generating the palettes and imagery, but rather, responding to and creating compositions from what was in front of her.
This new-found fun and process continued when Cheney returned to the US and applied the same process to all of the scraps, rejected canvases and newly painted canvases done purely for the benefit of becoming source material. She felt unconstrained and free to take risks and make mistakes, change her mind, edit and even flip the canvas over and start again. Her "inner critic is quieter." Take a look at both sides of Emanator, 2020 as proof of a total artist conversion.
The exhibition title, Slow Burn, is a reflection of Cheney's thoughts and feelings about painting—it is slow and all-consuming. First, engaging the mind, as ideas, issues and aesthetics float around and meld, forming the nuggets for new paintings. Then, as a true student of Abstract Expressionism, it becomes corpuscular, then bodily, the ideas and emotions pulse through the body and express themselves through the artist's arms and fingertips, guided by her literal and metaphorical vision.
Cheney is a painter, through and through. She enjoys the solitude of both the thought and physical processes—it is not a group activity. Cheney also enjoys the intimacy and internal explorations of herself followed by the external expression of her ideas and frustrations. It is how she grounds herself. Thus, painting is personal and her method of expression.
However, drawing, which Cheney is deeply passionate about, is integral to her paintings. Interestingly, she describes her painting process as "scribbling around in the details and working my way out." An indication that she gets details and initial concepts down on canvas first then expands, edits and scales up from there. The use of line is a common element in the artist's paintings, both the oil paintings initiated on stretched canvases as well as the collaged paintings. In fact, the collage paintings contain a number of small sections of drawing of shapes with distinct detailed line work as well as large markings for structures—pentimenti and evidence of the artist's thinking and planning process.
The artist is well trained in both studio practice and art history. While she is detail oriented, as noted with her love of drawing, she has a more intuitive studio practice, in her words, working from the "gut" and not overly dogmatic about theory. Yet, daily news, global issues, the environment and a sense of urgency with every aspect of life calls to her and informs her work—and to some extent, hales from her training and influences as noted below.
Cheney earned her MFA at the Maryland Institute, College of Art where she was mentored by Grace Hartigan. Hartigan tried to make sense of a confusing world through her artworks and doing so by imbuing them with meaning and feeling. Her artworks often included recognizable forms as she moved between and combined figuration and abstraction using her iconic brushwork and bold gestural approach. Clearly, Hartigan had an influence on Cheney as she developed an appreciation for and respect of Abstract Expression as well as passion for the brush stroke and power of strong gestures in painting.
However, Cheney had several other informal mentors who made strong and lasting impressions on her and artwork. Layering of color and forms, density of imagery and mixing hard edge shapes with painterly approaches as well as collaging geometric shapes in mosaics by Jack Whitten influenced Cheney to be as equally "fearless" in approaching her art. Cheney's newest collage works with their concentrated shapes and imagery, use of diverse materials and constructed approach speak to the assemblages of Thornton Dial, another "fearless" artist who influenced Cheney to think big and consider the unexpected in painting. Not forgetting Joan Mitchell, the extraordinary Abstract Expressionist artist whose brush strokes evoke lines and drawing, lyrical movements, color harmonies and the natural world all in one motion has been one of the greatest inspirations for Cheney—as Cheney is a thoughtful student of art history and passionate about Abstract Expressionism and the great painters who came before her.
Cheney gets into and enjoys the process, details and nuance of every mark and action on the canvas. She has stated that she is "a wall climber rather than a hang glider, reaching for handholds, footholds, always on the brink of falling, not seeing the totality of the picture until the climb is done." So, just as she has relished every moment of her new-found freedom and expression on the larger and unstretched canvases, she grounds herself in and will always creates her oil paintings on defined stretched canvases (or, at least for new…..stay tuned).
About Galen Cheney:
I'm a painter's painter. My formal art education began at Mount Holyoke College and continued at the Maryland Institute, College of Art, where I received my MFA and was mentored by Grace Hartigan, Hermine Ford, and Salvatore Scarpitta, among other important artists.
Three decades later, I continue to push myself and my work with honesty, commitment, and fearlessness. Deep diving into my own creative process, I am a physical artist whose richly layered paintings embody my curiosity about and exploration of materials abstraction and my own psyche.
Born in Los Angeles and widely traveled, I have spent most of my life in New England where I feel a deep connection to my roots, the land, and centuries-old architecture. A childhood trip to Europe was the start of my enduring love of travel and fascination with ancient civilizations. Along with an affinity for the ancient world, I feel the gravitational pull of contemporary urban life–its grit, noise and neon graffiti and an unshakable connection to the mid-century Abstract Expressionists. In my own way I synthesize these influences to create work that is complex, and uniquely mine.
My work has been exhibited and collected widely in the U.S. and in Europe, China, Canada, and the UK. I was featured in New American Paintings (vol. 86) and was nominated for a Joan Mitchell Foundation Grant. Past residencies and fellowships include the Millay Colony, MASS MoCA, Vermont Studio Center, Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site, and Da Wang Culture Highland.

Assessing the ecological importance of clouds has substantial implications for our basic understanding of ecosystems and for predicting how they will respond to a changing climate. This study was conducted in a coastal Bishop pine forest ecosystem that experiences regular cycles of stratus cloud cover and inundation in summer. The study concludes that clouds are important to the ecological functioning of these coastal forests, providing summer shading and cooling that relieve pine and microbial drought stress as well as regular moisture inputs that elevate plant and microbial metabolism.

The field survey form rated battlefield integrity through the eyes of the survey team. While these observations are valuable in terms of how the battlefield landscapes are perceived subjectively, for the purposes of this study it was deemed important to find a more objective measure of the loss or retention of integrity. For this we turned to the Cultural Resources GIS Facility for a computer analysis of land use within the battlefield study and core areas. Computer mapping and analysis software, collectively known as Geographic Information Systems (GIS) were used in this study to create a mosaic map by combining many different modern and historic maps; to document study and core areas, to assess current land uses within defined areas; and to calculate statistics for land parcels.
The battlefield study and core areas were reduced to a computer format to enable various comparisons. The average size of study areas of the fifteen battlefields was 5,727 acres, ranging from 3,082 acres at Front Royal to 22,274 acres at Second Winchester. The size of the Front Royal study area accurately reflects the smaller numbers of troops engaged and their restricted deployment along the main roads. Second Winchester, on the other hand, involved a larger force, a network of Union entrenchments, two sweeping flank marches by Confederate forces that literally encircled the town of Winchester, and three days of fighting and maneuvering. The study areas of the Valley's two major battles (in terms of forces engaged and casualties) at Opequon and Cedar Creek were 11,670 acres and 15,607 acres respectively.
Because the study areas of several battlefields overlap, the total acreage for the study areas of the fifteen battlefields was 85,909 acres, 3.4 percent of the area of the Shenandoah Valley under consideration. Battlefield core areas ranged in size from 944 acres at Front Royal to 6,252 acres at Cedar Creek. The mean size of the core areas was 2,415 acres. Total acreage included in the battlefield core areas was 33,844 acres, 1.4 percent of the Valley's land area.
Figure 14 presents the integrity of the battlefields as determined by the GIS analysis. The percentage of built-up lands was computed for the battlefield study and core areas, using available 1973 land use data. These figures were then updated by on-site field inspections. In general, built-up lands, new roads, and quarries were subtracted from study and core area acreage, to achieve an integrity rating. One exception was built-up areas that were residential at the time of the Civil War and that still retain a similar scale and density, such as the old towns of Winchester, New Market, and McDowell. These districts were felt to support battlefield integrity. Retention of 75-100 percent natural and agricultural lands rated ''Good,'' 50-74 percent rated ''Fair,'' 25-49 percent rated ''Poor,'' and less than 25 percent rated ''Lost.'' As presented, the GIS analysis reflects the relative integrity of the battlefields as of 1991.
Figure 15 compares the findings of the field survey with the GIS integrity assessment. The field surveyors were more critical of visual intrusions, particularly of highways, bridges, powerlines, and construction within the battlefield cores. Four battlefields ranked good by GIS were ranked fair by the field survey team: Cedar Creek, Fisher's Hill, Cool Spring, and Tom's Brook. Four battlefields ranked fair by the GIS methodology, were ranked poor by the field survey: Second Winchester, Second Kernstown, and New Market. Both methods agreed on the goodintegrity of McDowell, Cross Keys, Piedmont, and Port Republic, on the fair integrity of First Kernstown, on the poor integrity of Opequon and Front Royal, and the lost condition of First Winchester. Although the integrity ranking derived through GIS differed in these instances from the field survey rating, both methods cluster the battlefields similarly toward the top and bottom of the scale.
The GIS method generates a gross ratio between land of high and low integrity and does not measure many visual intrusions that are apparent in the field. A minor intrusion in terms of acreage might appear as a major visual intrusion, depending on the location and setting. In this sense, the computer is more forgiving than the critical observer. This reference data is crucial, however, for obtaining a more objective view of the current status of the battlefields. Where the GIS rating is considerably higher than the field survey rating, perhaps, visual intrusions could be removed or masked to improve integrity. The GIS assessment will provide a reference point for monitoring further loss of integrity.
Several interesting facts emerged from a regional analysis of the battlefield study areas. The study areas contain a higher proportion of agricultural land (63 percent) than is the case for the Valley as a whole (37 percent). Due to this, changes in agricultural patterns or loss of agricultural land tend to have a higher impact on the battlefields than on the overall Valley landscape. Forests make up more than 56 percent of the Valley's acreage but only about 21 percent of battlefield acreage. This is accounted for by the fact that the Valley's forests are more concentrated in the higher elevations, while battles typically were fought on lower, flatter ground. In addition, built-up lands are more concentrated in the battlefield study areas (14 percent) than in the Valley as a whole (6 percent), reflecting the location of battlefields on or near important towns and transportation nodes. A relatively high level of existing residential development within a battlefield study area indicates that further development in the vicinity is probable due to current zoning and continued growth. Figure 5 shows the pattern of agricultural land use in the Shenandoah Valley.

Have you given a warm handshake, an icy glance, or been in a heated argument? Temperature is often associated with human behaviors—in fact, it's a phenomenon that persists across languages.
The concept is so embedded in our minds that physical temperature can affect our judgment and behavior, a growing body of research shows. One 2008 study found that subjects holding warm coffee were more likely to judge a target as warm and friendly than subjects holding iced coffee.
It all sounds innocuous until you consider that terms like "cold-blooded" and "hot-headed" refer to two very different descriptions of a similar crime: The slaying of another human.
Researchers in Switzerland and Germany set out to test if ambient temperature in a room could affect the way people judged crimes. "Words associated with coldness typically indicate that the person acted with forethought," they explain in a new paper. "Words associated with heat typically indicate that the person acted spontaneously and impulsively."
People in a cold room were twice as likely to describe a crime as murder than those in midand high-temperature rooms.
Those familiar with criminal sentencing (or Law & Order) know that the perceived intent behind a homicide has a large effect on the sentence. Pre-meditated killings tend be judged as murders and result in harsher sentences. Impulsive killings tend to result in lighter sentences.
The study, which was published this week in PLoS One, presented 133 subjects with photographs and descriptions of various crimes. They were randomly assigned to low-, mid-, or high-temperature conditions, with all conditions within an established building-code temperature comfort zone.
Participants were asked to answer "What kind of crime did this person commit?" in an open-response format. They also rated how likely the crime was impulsive and how likely it was premeditated. Two independent raters read the responses and determined prison sentences based on the language of the crime descriptions and "their lay understanding of German law." They also counted how many times the subjects described the crime as murder.
Those in the low-temperature condition were significantly more likely than subjects in the high-temperature condition to describe the crimes as premeditated and less likely to see the crimes as impulsive. They were more likely to refer to crimes as murders, and their descriptions of crimes tended to result in harsher penalties than subjects in high-temperature conditions.
Subjects in the mid-temperature condition did not significantly differ from high-temperature subjects in three out of four measurements, indicating that low temperature has a stronger effect on judgment than high temperature.
In fact, people in a cold room were twice as likely to describe a crime as murder than those in midand high-temperature rooms.
The researchers also measured other variables that might affect the results, including age, sex, outdoor temperature, and clothing—none of the factors correlated with the results.
It's a chilling discovery, and researchers indicate the effect could extend to perceptions of witnesses on the stand or judges' choices in the courtroom. If the results of this study are confirmed, perhaps 12 Angry Men would have been a shorter movie if someone had simply turned the thermostat up.

Rev Julian Mann: How many police officers does it take to arrest a vicar who sticks to theological orthodoxy?
The question that arises from the claim by a British values monitor on BBC Radio 4 that 'if you speak it (the opinion that homosexuality is wrong) out loud, you might be breaking the law' is this:
If speaking against homosexual practice did become illegal in Britain, what should happen to individuals who transgressed?
Or, to put the question another way, how many police officers should be deployed in an arrest against, for example, an Anglican vicar who preached on 1 Corinthians 6v9-11 in his church?
At what time of the day should, say, 13 police officers enter the vicarage?
Should the BBC be informed in advance of the arrest and a helicopter deployed?
And what should happen to the offender? How many hours of diversity training should he be subjected to in his cell?
And should he be allowed access to a Gideon Bible whilst in custody or indeed whilst he was on parole?
These are surely pressing questions that cannot be avoided in the light of recent developments in the administration of British criminal justice.
TCW readers must judge for themselves from their own reading of the New Testament whether it allows sex outside heterosexual marriage for Christians. The judgement of the Anglican Book of Common Prayer in its Solemnisation of Matrimony is that it does not, describing extramarital sex as 'fornication'.
Some Anglicans may consider that the insights of 'recent scholarship' should lead the Church of England to revise its doctrine on this question. But given that such revision goes against the plain meaning of the Bible, such an approach would involve imposing an extra-biblical authority on the Church.
For those Anglicans who agree with the historic teaching of the Church of England that the Bible is the supreme and final authority in matters of faith and conduct, the criminalisation of verbal opposition to homosexual practice would certainly broaden their experience of modern British policing.

Cereal alkylresorcinols (AR), a group of phenolic lipids mainly found in the outer parts of wheat and rye kernels, are currently being studied for the possibility to use them as biomarkers for the intake of whole grain wheat and rye foods. In this work, AR were localised in grains by using light microscopy and gas chromatographic analysis of hand-dissected botanical and pearling fractions. GC-analysis of hand-dissected fractions showed that more than 99% of the total AR content was located in an intermediate layer of the caryopsis, including the hyaline layer, testa and inner pericarp. Microscopic examination showed that the outer cuticle of testa/inner cuticle of pericarp was the exact location, and that no AR were found in the endosperm or in the germ, suggesting that AR could be used as a selective marker of testa.

20+ Years Experience
Resin bonded stone is a surfacing material made of natural aggregates that are mixed with a clear epoxy resin to create a hard-wearing and decorative surface.
The benefits of resin bonded stone include durability, slip resistance, and low maintenance requirements. It also provides a cost-effective alternative to traditional paving and surfacing materials.
Resin bonded stone can be used on a variety of surfaces, including driveways, pathways, and patios. It is important to ensure that the surface is stable, level, and free from debris before installation.
Resin bonded stone is typically installed by professional contractors who specialize in surfacing. The installation process can vary depending on factors such as the size and layout of the area, the type of stone used, and the specific requirements of the project. In general, the process involves preparing the surface, applying the epoxy resin, and spreading the stone or aggregates.
Resin bonded stone requires minimal maintenance, but regular cleaning is recommended to prevent the build-up of dirt, debris, and organic matter. This can be done using a broom or pressure washer. It is also important to repair any damage or wear to the surface as soon as it is noticed to prevent further damage.

Would you know how to identify and then offset the costs of business aircraft ownership? Jet Tolbert highlights the multiple factors at play for a prospective buyer, offering some useful tips on keeping the costs of aircraft ownership down...Back to Articles
Would you know how to identify and then offset the costs of business aircraft ownership? Jet Tolbert highlights the multiple factors at play for a prospective buyer, offering some useful tips…
While understanding aircraft acquisition costs can be a complex business, the factors behind the operating costs are equally important to understand, and similarly multifaceted. Nevertheless, they must be analysed when piecing together a complete picture of aircraft ownership.
What are the costs of ownership? How can they be offset? These are among the Frequently Asked Questions prospective aircraft buyers raise during the early part of an acquisition. Here, we consider the answers…
What are the Costs of Aircraft Ownership?
When developing a spreadsheet for cost analysis it's important to factor in the expected use for the jet. Once projected usage is fully understood the costs can be placed into two categories: The Fixed and Variable costs.
Fixed costs include:
Variable costs include:
How can Costs be Offset?
When considering the costs of aircraft ownership, don't forget that an owner's time is a non-monetary expense that can affect the profitability of the Flight Department. By ensuring your jet is fully operational, you will maximize the use of the owners' time, thus helping offset the costs.
Beyond maximizing the time of the aircraft owner, however, there are other ways to help balance the costs of operating your aircraft. Here, we provide two scenarios for two different levels of anticipated utilization…
Scenario 1:Assuming the projected annual usage of the jet is for 150 hours, a buyer could consider a lease arrangement for up to 300 hours annually, either to a private user (under Part 91) or to a charter operator (under Part 135).
Either arrangement could offset cost, though the charter option will most likely be the preferred choice due to a charter operator's ability to apply fleet rate discounts for fuel, training and insurance that would benefit the owner.
In addition the charter lessee would offer more flexibility regarding the scheduling of their flights, helping secure the aircraft's services when the owner needs to fly.
Indeed, if the owner's airplane is unavailable, oftentimes the charter lessee might offer the owner the use of another aircraft from the charter company fleet.
Keep in mind, however, that the increased utilization from chartering/leasing your aircraft will incur increased costs in the maintenance area over time, which must be factored into the overall cost equation.
Scenario 2:Owners flying 300 hours annually might still consider a Part 91 dry lease arrangement or Part 135 lease to a charter company for a reduced 150 hours annually.
In this scenario, the owner would probably need to compromise more over their own aircraft usage to make the aircraft available for revenue-making flights.
The owner would need to weigh the reduced revenue from charter use against the cost of loss of usage.
Be aware that with the higher owner usage, there will be fewer charter providers willing to charter the airplane because of the restricted usage for them. In addition, the cost offset will be less, but increased maintenance costs would still apply.
In essence, the more hours you fly the less likely a solution chartering your aircraft will provide toward offsetting the actual costs of ownership.
Where are the Operating Cost Savings?
The above considerations inevitably lead to additional questions, including:
While the above questions are often asked, I am rarely asked how to create a system of accountability.
Though some smaller jets with simpler maintenance schedules can indeed be managed by the crew, the larger jets with more complex maintenance schedules will require a dedicated Director of Maintenance for scheduling and compliance, as well as a mechanic to perform regular light maintenance both pre- and post-flight.
Under both of our revenue-generating scenarios above, a management company could potentially bring discounts for crew training, fuel, insurance and hangar costs.
Indeed, working with the right management company could include access to a Director of Maintenance, as well as mechanics on staff within your area who could provide routine maintenance.
The management company would also hire and fire crew as well as audit their performance and aircraft operation. Thus, a management company brings benefits (even for an aircraft not placed into charter operation) that exceed the monthly management fee.
Sourcing Crew or Management Company?
When considering the question of sourcing crew and/or a management company, first look at the projected annual usage to evaluate whether charter is a serious option. What are the budgetary expectations for usage with and without the charter revenue?
Then analyse different pilots and operators, based not only on their fees but on the benefits they bring to help lower cost and increase dispatch reliability.
As an example, let's assume you identify a management company with several of your aircraft type based in the same area as you. This could be a benefit or a hindrance depending on your intended usage…
You would potentially be placing your aircraft with an operator who has saturated the market demand for chartering your aircraft type, and would be selling your airplane at wholesale prices to charter brokers to keep it flying (thereby lowering your revenue).
If you were to choose not to charter, however, but work with the same management company, you could enjoy the benefits of their mechanics and pilots who already understand your aircraft and can keep it operating smoothly at a lower cost than a Flight Department potentially would.
The above should highlight that there are many decisions to be made when selecting your operational structure. The right adviser will help work through a daunting mountain of considerations to help select the best choices for you.

Explore Missouri's Original Landscapes
Missouri's natural areas represent some of the best—and last—examples of the state's original natural landscape, each offering a shining example of Missouri's outstanding biological and geological features. Hiking through a natural area, you can observe rare plants and animals that would have been familiar sights to native Americans or explorers, such as Lewis and Clark. Natural areas are defined as natural communities or geologic features that represent the natural character, diversity and ecological processes of Missouri's native landscapes. Natural communities are groups of plants and animals and the landscapes, such as forests or prairies, that they inhabit—and that occur repeatedly throughout the state.
Use the information in this section to plan a visit to a natural area. Whether your interest is in nature study, birding, hiking, fishing, hunting or photography, you'll find a designated Missouri natural area to explore and enjoy your favorite low-impact outdoor recreational activity.

Would there be a possibility that there is lead paint in birdfeeders and bird baths, manufactured in China. If so, how do birds and animals react to lead?
Considering the recent publicity about high levels of lead in toys imported from China, you are wise to be concerned. A 2006 study from the University of Cincinnati determined that India, China and Malaysia produce consumer paints with dangerously high lead levels; these paints are used in a variety of products intended for export. The United States banned leaded paint in 1978 as it was linked to developmental problems in children. Lead paint affects birds and other wildlife as well. Burger and Gochfeld's 2000 study, published in the Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, confirmed that even low-levels of lead affected growth, locomotion, balance, food begging, feeding, thermoregulation, depth perception, and individual recognition in birds. Young birds affected by lead may not recognize their siblings or parents due to impaired cognitive ability and tend to wander from their nests. Higher levels of lead can lead to death.
Paint issues aside, the wood China uses to construct bird houses as well as other products is a source of concern. China does not harvest its own forests for the majority of the products manufactured in that country. Russia, Malaysia and Indonesia are the three largest suppliers of timber to China. These countries have limited forest management, and much of the wood China uses is actually obtained illegally from threatened forests. The forests in Indonesia, in particular, are home to many species of birds which are threatened by the rampant deforestation. To ensure that wood products you buy are from reputable sources, look for Forest Stewardship Certified (FSC) wood. The concerned consumer should ask questions about the source of any wood product, such as furniture or paper, to make sure your purchase doesn't encourage the deforestation of threatened areas.

Weight of food stuffs used in cookery.— The following is an approximate, comparative list of the bulk and weight of different articles of common domestic use. These will be found to vary slightly, but are as accurate as can be given and have been proved by experience to be sufficiently correct for all practical purposes.
It is important to note that the weight of things used commonly in cooking varies. For example, 1 Cup of water weighs 8 ounces, but 1 Cup of milk weighs 8 1/4 ounces, accounting for the difference in specific gravity. This is usually only helpful to know when a recipe calls for an ingredient by weight, but lacks sufficient guidance to tell you how much to actually use. If, for example, your recipe calls for "a scant 4 ounces grated cheese", you know that it doesn't mean half a cup, but actually, the weight of the cheese, which is actually the equivalent of a full cup.
Unfortunately, in the 1950's, with the advance of pre-packaged foods, the kitchen scale became an uncommon feature in most American homes. Today, it is making a resurgence, and we heartily recommend to all our readers that they invest in a good, accurate kitchen scale.

 5. "Als er geen zon zou zijn, zo…
"Als er geen zon zou zijn, zou leven niet mogelijk zijn."
Translation:If there were no sun, life would not be possible.
December 26, 2014
Am I the only one who finds this difficult!!? Also, it should have been mentioned somewhere in the tips that zou/zouden could be used in both parts of the sentence, or am I missing something?
I'm really struggling with this one too!
I also find it confusing, especially since this site gives a different rule on how to form these sentences. _URL_ Could someone please explain this? Can I use the conditional in both clauses or not?
Are you essentially asking when to use something such as:
 - Als er geen zon was, zou leven niet mogelijk zijn.
 - Als er geen zon zou zijn, zou leven niet mogelijk zijn.
That really helped me understand the first half! I sort of understand the second half anyway so at least I can see where this sentence comes from now, thanks!
Glad I could help! \^_^
The first sentence is essentially saying:
 - If there had been (in the past, previously) no sun THEN 'life would not be possible'.
The second sentence:
 - If there were/were to be/would be (subjunctive) no sun THEN 'life would not be possible'.
I see, so it's like "if there were in general no sun". One of the hard bits of learning a language is how ambiguous English is (which I've never noticed before) and having to figure out what I really mean.
"In English, the subjunctive mood is used to explore conditional or imaginary situations." _URL_
Not in English.
This sentence is using the subjunctive mood in the dependent clause after 'als', which, while largely no longer a thing in English, seems to still be in use in Dutch, albeit in a different form from the way it was formed in English.
"If there were no sun," is the subjunctive in English. It's true that it's tending to disappear in English, but it is still used in phrases such as this one.
The problem is that it is applied hapazardly in the Engligh translations in the Dutch unit. There are other conjectural or counterfactual clauses where Duo requires the English indicative translation. Granted, these are obscure and tortuous shades of meaning in both languages.
If there were no hints, this lesson would not be possible. (for me)
Why is "zouden" used in both sentences? Shouldn't it rather be "Als er geen zon was, zou leven niet mogelijk zijn"?
I'm presuming zou/zouden is was/were/would and so it is used twice due to the fact that it says: if there were no sun, life would not be possible
It should also be possible to say "if there is no sun, life would be impossible", or am i totally mistaken?
Why not "If there was no sun, life would be impossible"? Help!
In cases of 'present contrary to fact' one should use the subjunctive. That means that in all such 'if' cases one must write 'were' and not 'was' (If I were, if you were, if he/she/it were...). True, you will often find the usage 'If... was' (even among the Duolingo experts!), but grammarians still consider this incorrect, although it has become common in vernacular US English.
You're absolutely right, and I have always known that. But, with the general dumbing down of English, esp. by US influence (for example by not forming adverbs from adjectives, as in "you sang amazing" instead of "you sang amazingly" and other areas of laziness in grammar, spelling, and punctuation), I had assumed this was perhaps another instance of misuse that was becoming the norm. I'm all for preserving the full expressiveness of English even if others aren't sensitive to its subtleties.
so does this mean that when you are making a conditional, the structure like "zouden zijn" could be used in both part of the sentence? I mean in English usually it's like were+would be or had done+would have done, the "would" dont usually go to both part. by the way what should i say if i want to mean "i would have done"? thanks~
Question: Why is this incorrect?: "If there wouldn't be a sun, life would not be possible."?
'If there were no sun, life would be impossible', is the correct version in English, = subjunctive mood followed by conditional tense. Your sentence would never be said.
It's against English grammar. In proper English the first conditional sentence type is: IF + Present Simple + Future Tense (will); the second conditional sentence type: IF + Past Simple + Conditional (would); and the third conditional sentence type: IF + Past Perfect + Past Conditional.
is impossible not the same as not possible?
Generally, the meaning might be the same, but it's important to translate words and phrases as precisely as the two languages allow. On another occasion, you might need to alter the meaning of "not possible" / "niet mogelijk" by turning it into something like "It is not only possible, but even desirable" / "Het is niet alleen mogelijk, maar zelfs gewenst", which you can't do with 'impossible' / 'onmogelijk'.
The if-part never contains "would etc", the other part does. It is implied stricktly, as all computers do!
I think this reply is the clearest for non-English speakers, I award a lingot!
Strictly speaking not good English - it should be subjunctive - If there were no sun, life would be impossible - or - if there had been no sun life would have been impossible. So - is zou zijn subjunctive here, or can you have two conditionals in one sentence in Dutch? Not the case in English (or Italian, which I'm also studying.)
German would use a double conditional in this case, so I'm left to think the same is true for closely-related Dutch.
English uses the subjunctive mood, which no longer exists in Dutch, so they have their own grammar convention.
The word 'zon' is not correctly pronounced. It is pronounced if it was zo'n instead of zon

I'm Swiss and I've been drinking water from mountain streams all my life, without any altitude restriction, while observing three basic rules. You can drink the water if:
 - the river is small enough to jump across it
 - there is no cattle (alpage) above, where cows, goats and sheep may poo into the water
 - there is no human settlement above
Drinking this water is one of my favourite things when hiking and I mostly go hiking carrying only a minimal amount of water to drink on the peaks where there are no rivers or sources. I hike often (in Ticino) and managed to survive for 44 years :-)

If the river is small enough? Why? I think it shouldnt be too small because of pollution. – Wills 19 hours ago
I suppose you mean outside of village, so you are talking about streams and sources. In any alpine areas (France, Italy, Switzerland, Austria) I drink water unfiltered when I assume that there are no alps (place with cattle during summer) upstream, which worked for me. Of course you usually cannot be 100% sure about it, but almost so. If there is cattle upstream, you have a quite a chance of getting diarrhea. I did it twice until now when I was just too thirsty and once came to regret that decision :)
Many people attribute diarrhea to glacier water, which I cannot confirm. Unless you drink it constantly, the lack of minerals is not a problem either.
For dwells in towns in Switzerland you can drink always unless there is a sign telling you otherwise. Sometimes such a sign is present as the water is not officially tested, that also very often the case in alpine huts, while the water is fine. But you cannot know, so unless you have somebody trustful to advice you, keep away.

Case Study
Stand Together
Understanding the process of engagement in social change movements.
Stand Together is an organization interested in supporting and building organizations and related programs that encourage and support millions of everyday people who want to drive meaningful social change from the ground up. They needed to know how best to connect with people seeking social change, and how to strengthen those Americans' engagement with an issue or cause.
We used our innovative Journey Mapping approach to understand how individuals who want to make a difference progress from initially being aware of a problem to being a leader in that issue or field.
This approach uncovered pivotal moments in the journey and the broad needs and roles that must be filled along the way.
Our program identified the key points where a person engaging in social change may get stuck, need additional encouragement or education. The sticking points on the journey were matched with concrete actions, which an outside organization like Stand Together can take, to retain and expand the number of Americans engaged in meaningful change. The project gave Stand Together key insights needed to keep their program moving forward.

I'm converting a Habitat solution using DLLs checked into source control over to NuGet packages using the Sitecore package source feed.
When should I use the packages marked NoReferences (so that I end up with the exact same project references)? Or those without this suffix that include references to the same plus other DLLs?
0
4 Answers 4

The package without NoReferences suffix brings dependent Nugets containing additional DLLs. These DLLs are defined as dependencies in Nuget definition. If you check the dependencies list you will find Sitecore DLLs and third party DLLs like Newtonsoft.Json or HtmlAgilityPack in it.
The package with NoReferences suffix does not bring any dependencies. Developer expected to identify and add all required DLLs manually.
Now let's talk about what exactly is included in list of dependencies. The answer why some DLLs are included and others are not becomes clear if you check DLL references in the tool like ILSpy.
These are references in Sitecore.ContentSearch.dll: enter image description here
And these are dependencies of Sitecore.ContentSearch Nuget package: enter image description here
There is a clear pattern here. The Nuget package includes referenced assemblies as dependencies.
Now we can talk about what an assembly reference is and how it works. When our assembly executes its code it often uses types from external assemblies. References are the guidance for .NET to load the assembly that contains the required type. Interestingly, references are not used when an assembly is loaded, but when the code is executed. When the referenced assembly is missing, the application may work fine if any types from that assembly are not used at runtime.
From mentioned above you can see that the regular Nuget package is developer's safe harbour and the default choice. It includes all the references required at run-time, so you can execute any code without fear to get Could not load file or assembly error.
*NoReferences Nuget package can be used if you want to have full control over what is referenced. You can reduce amount of DLLs in your bin folder or use some specific dependency version.
15
In 2019 the answer is little bit different.
Sitecore will not release new NoReference Nuget packages. But you can get similar behavior by usage of -IgnoreDependencies setting:
enter image description here
Or by command line:
Install-Package -Id <package name> -IgnoreDependencies -ProjectName <project name>
If you want more details, there is good article that describes this approach for Sitecore.

The no-references packages allow you to add only the packages you need to your project.
Consider a package that preferences Sitecore.Kernel. The package may need Sitecore.Kernel, but not any of the packages that Sitecore.Kernel references (such as Newtonsoft). The no-references package allows you to reference only Sitecore.Kernel.
When using some smaller, more specialized packages, it makes sense to want to use the packages with references (especially for the packages that don't refer to foundational packages like Sitecore.Kernel).

To ensure you have complete control of the references you use in your solution I would argue you should always use the .NoReferences packages.
There is a good overview of the package source feed and some thoughts on when to use the .NoReferences suffix in this blog post _URL_

The origin of the word Blackmail as defined by webster 1913 is from the term mal. This is an Old English word borrowed from the Old Norwegian language. It was carried across to Britain by the Vikings and it originally meant'speech'. The vikings weren't well known for their speeches and since generally the only time they engaged in such activities was to demand something at axeblade the understanding became distorted to mean 'tax' or 'payment in tribute'. The Vikings split in two directions: one branch headed south to Italy and formed the Mafia and the other stopped in Scotland. Here they started their own protection racket on the Scottish border. By this time mal had become spelt'mail'. So if one cherished the value of one's crops, the life of your family or even your daughters virginity, then you paid mail to the neighbourhood chieftains; and the victims, in due course, came to call it black mail.
Blackmail, a certain rate of money, corn, cattle, or the like, anciently paid, in the N. of England and in Scotland, to certain men who were allied to robbers, to be protected by them from pillage. It was carried to such an extent as to become the subject of legislation. Blackmail was levied in the districts bordering the Highlands of Scotland until the middle of the 18th century. In the United States, the word is applied to money extorted from person under threat of exposure for an alleged offense; hush-money.
Entry from Everybody's Cyclopedia, 1912.
Black"mail' (?), n. [Black + mail a piece of money.]
Sir W. Scott.
3. Eng.Law
To levy blackmail, to extort money by threats, as of injury to one's reputation.

Balancing Balls on Air
Sent in by:
Kayla of Iowa City, IA
Hair dryer powers activate!
Stuff You'll Need
 - ping pong balls
 - hair dryer
 - other types of small balls
How to do it
 1. First, get permission from a grown-up to use a hair dryer.
 2. Turn your hair dryer on cool and point it towards the ceiling.
 3. Put the ping pong ball in the stream of moving air. Watch -- it just floats there.
 4. Tip the hair dryer to the right or left and the ball still stays in the stream of air.
 5. You're probably wondering why the air doesn't just blow away the ball. The air from the hair dryer is blowing right on the ball and pushing it up. But did you know that gravity from the earth is also pulling the ball down? That's why the ball isn't blown right up into space.
 6. Do you know what keeps the ball from blowing off to the side? It's the fast moving air coming from the blow dryer. The ball doesn't fall because the air from the hair dryer is going really fast around the sides of the ball. This fast moving air pushes on the sides of the ball and keeps it from falling.
 7. What happens when you try this with two ping pong balls at the same time? What happens if you use a different kind of ball? Try it at home.

Four of every five sick children in the United States who died after their parents put their trust in faith healing could probably have survived if medical treatment had been sought, according to a study published yesterday in Pediatrics, the journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics.
The report, which examined 172 child deaths in faith healing families from 1975 to 1995, concluded that 140 of the deaths, or 81 percent, were due to conditions that had a survival rate exceeding 90 percent with treatment.
Eighteen other children would have had better than a 50 percent chance of living with treatment, and all but three children would have benefited from medical help, the report said.

I was talking to someone about puns and she said that it's a play on words, e.g. "those two pears are a pear of green balls" (sorry about the awful example, I couldn't think of any others on the spot).
I argued that this is a pun:
John Lydon looked out of his bedroom window and said, "Ah, how I love country life". (John Lydon stars in a butter advert which has the phrase "country life" in it).
Which is a pun?

"How I love the country life" is a pun, because in that context 'country life' has two meanings — life in the country and the margarine brand.
"Those two pears are a pear of green balls" doesn't look like a pun to me, as nothing in there has two meanings.
share|improve this answer
Both qualify as puns. I think you meant to say, "those two pears are a pair of green balls."
 - The first case is an example of paronomasia--wordplay that is based on homophonic or near-homophonic resemblance. The words pear and pair are exact homophones, as are whole and hole, words that sound alike, but are spelled differently and mean different things. A good example of paronomasia based on near homophones is Apple's new slogan for the ipad--Resolutionary (revolutionary).
 - The second case qualifies as a double entendre. The meaning of "country life" turns on two different senses, but not two different spellings.
Based on these remarks, you should now be able to classify this pun. A pun is its own reword.
share|improve this answer
All puns are paronomasia - OED:"Wordplay based on words which sound alike; an instance of this, a pun." Two words that sound the same in one sentence doesn't make a pun as there is no double meaning. Looking at the two pears and saying "that is a nice pair/pear" would be a pun. The second is not double entendre. A double entendre is a phrase with two meanings, one of which is usually risque, but the second meaning lies outside the phrase itself. "Children make nutritious snacks" has two possible meanings, but doesn't contain a word/phrase that has a double meaning, as'country life' does. – Roaring Fish May 20 '12 at 15:41
I down voted this question on the basis of what _USER_ had to say – Olly Price May 20 '12 at 15:57
The classic "pear/pair" double-entendre: Buxom young woman holding two watermelons: Can I interest you in these, sir? Man: Why, what a lovely pair! Woman: They're not pears, they're melons. Man: Whatever you call them, they are beautiful. – Andrew Leach May 20 '12 at 17:26
That made me laugh, brilliant. – Olly Price May 20 '12 at 20:29
_USER_: I think the downvote is harsh. I'd regard it as a pun (wordplay), even if it happens to be a rather low-quality pun. Collins defines pun as the use of words or phrases to exploit ambiguities and innuendoes in their meaning, usually for humorous effect; a play on words. Note the word "usually" in that definition. The fact that you misspelled the word "pair" indicates some basic level of punning. Had you said, "Those two apples are a pair of green balls," I'd see no pun at all, but I suspect you chose "pears" for a reason. – J.R. Nov 11 '12 at 12:28

Marble/ModelView
< Marble
Revision as of 17:55, 14 September 2009 by Tgridel (Talk | contribs)
Jump to: navigation, search
ModelView framework in Marble
Marble uses Qt's Model/View framework as a way to signal updates to a model to interested parts. In that respect, a Model class can wrap any possible data.
The multiple models in Marble each fit the purpose of feeding some GeoData classes to interested widgets. The way those models are fed could be improved however:
Model and Data Location
 - At the moment, each Model contains the list/vector/tree of data it presents. This is not a problem per se, unless all those models present the same data, and retain their own copies. Once the time to edit this data comes, it is tedious or quite impossible to trace back all those copies.
The solution to this is twofold:
 - keep data unique in one store (wherever that is, a Model class or a list in one Manager)
 - Try and manipulate references to the data in the Models in such a case: with one change to the central data, multiple models can be notified and each react differently for the views they feed.
Model or not Model
 - The Model-View framework is designed to hide the details of the model content, and to present it in a standardised way to views. The advantage of this solution is that the View need not know much about the data it presents.
This solution however is not a one size fit all, because an interested class with some knowledge of the GeoDataTypes for example would be far better off manipulating the methods of GeoData classes.
As a consequence, a choice should be made whether to access GeoData through the model-view framework (nice for a List Widget or for a generic presentation of 'data as a tree', really not so nice for a class which for example would like to calculate the bounding box of all geometric data of a GeoDataDocument, or even for the File read/write, as the knowledge of data types is really known).
State of the Model
There are multiple models with various levels of implementation. Some are needed, others should die...
Here is the list of Model class, and a description of how they are used.
QAbstractItemModel
It represents a data file, parsed into a GeoDataDocument tree structure.
It is used by the DataViewPlugin debug plugin (and is broken atm)
It represents a list of gpx data file represented as GpxFile
This was originally intended to but used as the model for the File List View ( which is accessible by running marble with --enableFileView ) but has since been replaced by the FileViewModel.
The model that is in the GpsLayer is currently only being used as a collection class and is deprecated. This, along with the whole current GPX implementation, needs to be removed and updated to the current concepts in Marble. See Gpx Status
It represents the GeoDataGeometry and the GeoDataFeature items of the last opened GeoDataDocument.
It is used by the GeoRenderPlugin to access the list of vector data to draw it.
QAbstractListModel
It represents the list of opened files. The PlacemarkManager appends the documents it opens, and the MarbleWidget appends the gpx files it opens.
It is used by the FileViewFloatItem and manipulated by the PlaceMarkManager and the MarbleModel.
It represents a list of GeoDataDocuments. Only the PlacemarksPlugin uses it

Traffic light circuit using IC 555
Traffic light is designed with two timer ICs 555 and three LED indicators, this circuit drives three LEDs with different time delay to provide stop, wait, and go signals on road.
Circuit diagram
Traffic light circuit
Construction and working
Two timer ICs biased with 12 volt power supply, the left side timer provides output through Red LED, the right side timer LED provides output through yellow LED and Green LED, here the yellow LED output controlled by discharge pin, Vcc supply for this IC provides through output and timer elements of left side timer IC 555. By varying VR1 and VR2 variable resistors we can vary the time delay between LEDs, here two timer ICs control voltage pin 5 left as no connection, LED arrangement of traffic light is shown in circuit diagram.

 Hope you got it.
 1. Sorry!!!
 I mean
 Pls I need 4 way traffic light for my Final year project ….please can you help me out with it??
 2. Hello, I have a problem with this circuit in proteus. Red and Yellow red work in the same time . Can help?
 1. Hi Mahmoud El-Kahawy
 Make sure about the wiring and black dots in between blue wire represents connection and cross line represents no connection.
 traffic light using ic 555
 3. URGENT!!
 hey,
 I'm facing some issues , how can i contact you?
 I'm using a 9V battery for supply as i have made the circuit on a breadboard.
 also, I'm using a 100K potentiometer for variable resistance.
 also, could you explain the exact working of the above circuit?
 Thanks in advance
 1. Hello , can you please tell me how to set the time delay, I mean what I need to change for varying delay time. And formula for calculating it
 4. I am asking for the project in electrical and electronics based on traffic lights with improvements
 5. Please can you send me ckt diagram in multisim because I do not done this project using this diagram so please send me to this diagram using multisim .
 6. My son (11th grade) is trying to build a similar circuit for a STEM competition. I have a background in circuits but it's been years. The idea is that the light changes based on "seeing" a car. He's thinking of an RFID sensor. Can we use this same circuit and add the sensor to "start" the process? Any insight into what this new circuit might look like? Thanks for your help!
 7. I have tried this circuit and cannot get it to work (have checked the wiring). when I disconnect connection from left hand IC pin 3 to right hand IC pin 8 red LED operates as it should. With the same wire disconnected I connect right hand IC pin 8 to +V and green and yellow LED's work as they should. However when I connect everything back to drawing Green LED is on and stays on. Any advice?
 8. Built the circuit and green LED lights and stays on. Triple checked wiring ( all ok). Disconnected wire connecting left IC pin 3 to right IC pin 8. Red LED flashed as expected. Then with that wire still disconnected applied power to right IC pin 8 and green and yellow LED's flashed as expected. Any thoughts?
 9. can anyone help me? i made this circuit in multisim but there was an error red and yellow light blink very fast and also how to use and where is variable resistor in multisim
 10. In my case the red and the yellow light is blinking simultaneously . May I know what is wrong with it.
 I have checked the wirings multiple times .

Six tips for centering yourself in a noisy world
I went to my business coach's self-improvement seminar a few months ago, and picked up some great advice for improving daily habits. Here are six tips I gathered for improving your concentration, gaining focus and centering yourself in a noisy world. Enjoy!
 - Do some form of meditation at least 15 mins., and some form of exercises, daily. If she cannot meditate, Trine bows 108 times, a Buddhist focusing technique.
 - Anastasia does 2-10 minutes of deep breathing when she has busy thoughts.
 - Schedule time to drink water every few hours, such as at 10:00, 12:00, 2:00, etc.
 - Come up with three positive self-affirmations, and say them to yourself daily when you get up.
 - Decide on three primary goals you want to accomplished today, and do as many as you can. Carry over any undone ones for tomorrow.
 - Create artificial deadlines when you have unspecified completion goals, and keep them.

text: This research report examines the gender dynamics of radicalization to violence in Libya and efforts to counter and prevent violent extremism. Based on primary research in Libya, this report analyses new data collected in the field (October 2018 to March 2019), and via a survey instrument (March-June 2019). The research investigates the gendered motivations of individuals to join violent extremist and terrorist groups, and how gender inequality and discrimination within Libyan society interact with other economic, political and religious factors to spread violent extremism. The report explores how social constructions of masculinity and femininity are manipulated by violent extremist groups through their recruitment strategies and tactics of group control. As well as these gender dynamics, the research investigates Libyan women's responses; how and why they seek to counter and prevent violent extremism in their communities.

The design principle of hotel bathroom
Regardless of which hotel or level, toilets are indispensable, but what size of toilet is appropriate? What are the main points of device placement? The editor below summarizes a few little knowledge about hotel bathrooms based on what I know. I hope I can help you much.
1. The bathroom has good waterproof, drainage, and slip resistance, and needs to be neat and beautiful;
2, 3 square meters is the minimum area of the bathroom, just now you can organize the sink, toilet and bathing equipment;
3. Nowadays, most of the floor of the hotel bathroom is paved with moisture-proof floor tiles. Its operation is relatively convenient. First, the cement floor is chiseled and washed, the floating ash is swept away, and a layer of 1:2 cement mortar is spread with some construction glue., The cement mortar should be smoothed as much as possible, and then the floor tiles can be attached;
4. When choosing sanitary ware for a bathroom with a size of 3 square meters, it is necessary to consider leaving a certain amount of space for activities. Washing tables and toilets are recommended to be delicate; the shower should be set close to the corner, and the shower can use a straight shower board or Simple shower. In addition, the bathroom mirror can be used to achieve the visual effect of expanding a small space;
5. Minimal objects should be placed in the bathroom as little as possible. A variety of small layouts will make the small bathroom more congested and messy. The shower method is more convenient than the bathtub. Generally, glass or shower curtains can be used to partition the corner of the bathroom as a shower room, but the shower room is not recommended. Less than 0.8m×0.8m, otherwise it is inconvenient to turn around. Bathrooms often have one or two walls without sanitary ware or other items. For this, you can choose a piece of furniture that can reasonably use the corner space according to the width of the wall, such as storage Cabinet, can store all the loose bathroom supplies in it. The mirror surface of the bathroom cabinet can be set on the storage cabinet, and the space under the basin can be used to make storage space;
6. When installing mirror headlights, pay attention to prevent glare. It is recommended to install lampshades, or choose lamps with frosted glass exterior. Mirror height: Generally, it is better to keep the center of the mirror 160-165 cm above the ground. The mirror in the bathroom is recommended to be framed. If it is not framed, it needs to be sealed and waterproof. When installing, be careful not to damage the wall, especially hang a mirror on the tiled wall, and try to choose to punch holes at the joints of the materials. In addition to installing ordinary mirrors, it is recommended to install a stretchable magnifying glass above the washbasin. When taking a bath, the mirror in the bathroom is vaguely smoked by the steam. You can apply soap to the mirror surface, and then wipe it with a dry cloth to prevent the mirror surface from being vague. The dirt on the mirror can be scrubbed with a soft cloth or gauze dipped in some kerosene or wax, but do not scrub with a wet cloth, otherwise the mirror surface will be blurred and the glass will be easily corroded.

This letter quantifies the effect of random model uncertainty on finite horizon linear time-varying (LTV) systems. Mean and standard deviation field are approximated with high accuracy and efficiency by a Hilbert space technique called polynomial chaos expansion (PCE). The deterministic expansion coefficients of the generalized Fourier series are determined via orthogonal projection, also known as Galerkin projection. We propose the projection of uncertain systems in linear fractional representation (LFR), which can have computational benefits. The technique is benchmarked on a two-link robotic manipulator.

I have a polygon shapefile. I want to create points at an interval of 0.125 decimal degrees in this polygon. How can I create a script with python in ArcGIS 10 to automate the process of create points? The start point is the south-west corner and the end point is north-east of the polygon.
If you're interested in additional vertices along your polygon feature, you can use the built-in Densify function:
You already have your answer; you have your start X/Y and finish X/Y, so you have a range and the distance between the points
Calculate the amount of points you will create per axis
Create your point variables
Set the start point
add a point to your point array
move along the x axis and create a point per 0.125 degrees
once the xloop has finished, reset X
and move the yaxis up 0.125
create the point feature
Please note, this si off the top of my head and completely untested, so I am not responsible for it if you use it. However, that should, I think, start you off.
You will have created points outside of the polygon, as I have ensured the MBR is properly represented; you may want to erase features outside of the polygon afterwards.

Given a Binary Tree, the task is to print all the Exponential Levels in the given Binary Tree.
An Exponential Level is a level whose all nodes of that levels equals to xy, & where x is a minimum possible positive constant & y is a variable positive integer.
Input: 20 / \ 9 81 / \ / \ 3 10 70 243 / \ 81 909 Output: 20 9 81 Explanation: There are 2 exponential levels: 20: 201 = 20. 9, 81: 32 = 9, 34 = 81. Input: 8 / \ 4 81 / \ / \ 5 125 625 5 / \ 81 909 Output: 8 5 125 625 5
Approach: To solve the problem mentioned above the main idea is to use Level Order Tree Traversal.
- Perform level order traversal of the given Binary tree and store each level in a vector.
- Then, in each level, if every node can be expressed in the form of xy, for y ≥ 0.
- If any value of the node of this level is not equal to xy, then skip to the next level.
- Print all such levels in which the above condition is true.
Below is the implementation of the above approach:

WebDAV in EPiServer CMS 5
Product version:
EPiServer CMS 5 R2
Document version:
1.0
Document last saved:
22-08-2008
Introduction
WebDAV is an extension of HTTP that allows for extended file handling. Moving from the readonly-internet that first emerged into a read and write enabled Web creates new needs. WebDAV meets those needs and provides a base for developers to extend the functionality of a site and its ease of use for an editor or administrator. In EPiServer CMS it is used to give easy access to files (such as Word documents, images, etc).
For more information on what WebDAV is, please visit _URL_.
IMPORTANT! There are several issues and configuration parameters that may require modification for the built-in WebDAV clients in Windows to work properly with EPiServer CMS. Read the section Client Configuration carefully.
Table of Contents
Advantages of WebDAV
 - Easy file management.
 - The possibility to support drag-and-drop operations of groups of files with no need for extra components, i.e. multiple file uploads.
This opens up possibilities for developers to create their own add-ins with extended file handling capabilities. You could for instance develop:
 - Providers that convert EPiServer CMS 5 content into traditional files and back. This would allow editors to use locally installed applications, such as Microsoft Word, to edit EPiServer CMS 5 web content.
 - Providers for reports. The developer could create the possibility to provide data as Excel files.
WebDAV for Developers
In a future release, the APIs for writing custom extensions to the WebDAV module will be exposed and documented. If you have urgent needs to develop solutions based on WebDAV, please contact EPiServer's support department.
Setting up WebDAV in EPiServer CMS 5 R2 running on IIS 5.1 (Windows XP) / IIS 6 (Windows 2003 Server) / WebDev server (Visual Studion built-in web server)
Edit web.config and make sure it contains the sections outlined below (note that WebFolder is simply a suggested default, you may change this to another name).
 1. Find the element <sectionGroup name="episerverModules"> under the <configSections> node and make sure it contains the webDav definition as follows:
 <configSections>
 <sectionGroup name="episerverModules">

 </sectionGroup>
 </configSections>
 2. Find the <episerverModules> node and make sure it contains a <webDav> sub-node. In the webDav sub-node, list the Virtual Path Providers that should be accessible via WebDAV. An example that exposes the Global VPP:
 <episerverModules>
 <webDav name="WebFolder">
 <provider
 name="Global files"
 type="EPiServer.WebDav.Provider.VirtualDirectoryProvider,
 EPiServer.WebDav"
 virtualPath="~/Global/" />
 </webDav>
 </episerverModules>
 3. Find the <httpModules> node under the <system.web> and make sure it contains an add statement for webDAV as follows:
 <system.web>
 <httpModules>
 <add name="WebDav" type="EPiServer.WebDav.Module, EPiServer.WebDav" />
 </httpModules>
 </system.web>
 4. On the same level as the <httpModules> section, add an <httpHandlers> node with an <add> statement for webDAV as follows:
 <system.web>
 <httpModules>
 <add name="WebDav" type="EPiServer.WebDav.Module, EPiServer.WebDav" />
 </httpModules>
 <httpHandlers>
 <add path="*" verb="OPTIONS,PROPFIND" type="EPiServer.WebDav.Handler, EPiServer.WebDav"/>
 </httpHandlers>
 </system.web>
 5. At the level directly below <configuration>, add a <location path="WebFolder"> element as follows:
 <location path="WebFolder">
 <system.web>
 <httpHandlers>
 <add path="*" verb="*" type="EPiServer.WebDav.Handler, EPiServer.WebDav"/>
 </httpHandlers>
 <globalization requestEncoding="utf-8" responseEncoding="utf-8" />
 <authorization>
 <deny users="?" />
 </authorization>
 </system.web>
 </location>
 6. If you want to use Basic Authentication to access data in the WebDAV folder, you also need to enable the BasicAuthentication http module. It is present in the httpModules section, but commented out by default. To enable it, simply remove the XML-comment indicators:
 <httpModules>
 <add name="BasicAuthentication" type="EPiServer.Security.BasicAuthentication, EPiServer" />
 </httpModules>
Setting up WebDAV in EPiServer CMS 5 R2 running on IIS 7 (Windows Vista)
These instructions assume that you are running EPiServer on IIS7 under "Integrated Pipeline Mode" which is the default mode for an IIS7 EPiServer installation. If you have changed your installation to run under "Classic Mode" instead, you should follow the IIS 6 configuration instructions instead.
Edit web.config and make sure it contains the sections outlined below (note that WebFolder is simply a suggested default, you may change this to another name).
 1. Find the element <sectionGroup name="episerverModules"> under the <configSections> node and make sure it contains the webDav definition as follows:
 <configSections>
 <sectionGroup name="episerverModules">

 </sectionGroup>
 </configSections>
 2. Find the <episerverModules> node and make sure it contains a <webDav> sub-node. In the webDav sub-node, list the Virtual Path Providers that should be accessible via WebDAV. An example that exposes the Global VPP:
 <episerverModules>
 <webDav name="WebFolder">
 <provider
 name="Global files"
 type="EPiServer.WebDav.Provider.VirtualDirectoryProvider,
 EPiServer.WebDav"
 virtualPath="~/Global/" />
 </webDav>
 </episerverModules>
 3. Find the <modules> node under <system.webServer> and add the <add> statement for webDAV as follows: Note that this statement should be entered after the UrlRewriteModule
 <system.webServer>
 <modules>
 <add name="UrlRewriteModule" type="EPiServer.Web.UrlRewriteModule, EPiServer" preCondition="managedHandler" />
 <add name="WebDav" type="EPiServer.WebDav.Module, EPiServer.WebDav" preCondition="managedHandler" />
 </httpModules>
 </system.webServer>
 4. Find the <handlers> node under <system.webServer> node and add the <add> statement for webDAV as follows:
 <system.webServer>
 <handlers>
 <add name="OPTIONSVerbHandler" path="*" verb="OPTIONS" type="" modules="ProtocolSupportModule" scriptProcessor="" resourceType="Unspecified" requireAccess="None" allowPathInfo="false" preCondition="" responseBufferLimit="_PHONE_" />
 <add name="PROPFINDVerbHandler" path="*" verb="PROPFIND" type="EPiServer.WebDav.Handler, EPiServer.WebDav" resourceType="Unspecified" requireAccess="None" allowPathInfo="true" preCondition="" responseBufferLimit="_PHONE_" />
 </handlers>
 </system.webServer>
 5. At the level directly below <configuration>, add a <location path="WebFolder"> element as follows:
 <location path="WebFolder">
 <system.webServer>
 <handlers>
 <add name="wildcard" path="*" verb="*" type="
