I have a currently unfinished basement in a rather new home.  There are a few places that have bay windows, or cantilevers that currently have only a bit of pink insulation thrown in fro the basement.  From what I can tell, the wall up there, plus the floor (sill box) are the part that is outside the house exposed to the elements.  At first, I was thinking of putting some XPS foam along the top, bottom, and the inside wall and stuffing it with some insulation and sealing it.  But then I read this article:   which seems to indicate that I don't want to completely seal it, but instead just insulate the bottom and wall area.  What do you think?  Also, I plan on eventually finishing the basement and using spray foam as insulation.  So anything I do now, I'd want to be able to know that I could remove if needed.
I have two areas of my house which are cantilevered. One is a bay area which extends about 2'. The other is the bottom of a fireplace box (gas fireplace). I have placed two layers of R-13 (I think) insulation in this area, but inside the house it's like a heat sink where all of the heat is sucked out ... very cold to the touch in the winter time. Obviously there must be a better way to insulate this area.  My question is, what is the best way to insulate a cantilevered area so as to allow the inside area of the house to not be so cold in the winter time?
How to revert uncommitted changes including files and folders? I just started blender and one of the main things you have to do is to render to make an animation, but I can't seem to do that. Whenever I click Render and then render image or render animation, at the top of the screen it says 'No camera found in Scene "Scene". I don't know why this is happening. If $\sum{a_n}$ converges does that imply that $\sum{\frac{a_n}{n}}$ converges? I know if $\sum{a_n}$ converges absolutely then $\sum{\frac{a_n}{n}}$ converges since $0\le \frac{|a_n|}{n} \le |a_n| $ for all $n$ so it converges absolutely by the basic comparison test and therefore converges. However, I cannot prove the convergence of $\sum \frac{a_n}{n}$ if $\sum{a_n}$ converges but not absolutely even though I suspect it to be true. Can you give me a proof or a counterexample for this? This story was in one of the first SF anthologies I ever read, in the mid-1960s. A meteor lands near to a house. The householder finds it and carries it into his house (meteor is grapefruit/football sized). It’s actually a crashed spaceship, crewed by beings the size of beetles or cockroaches. They emerge, and are spotted by the householder, who of course thinks they’re insects, but notices one seems to be holding a tiny tube. He reaches towards it and the alien shoots his hand (the tube being a gun, of course), stinging him. I can’t recall how the story ends, but I’d love to know what the story was called, and who its author was, as I’m trying to assemble a list of the early SF that fired my enthusiasm for the genre. Why do electron and proton have the same but opposite electric charge? Any idea why the piece of code below does not add the script element to the DOM?  var code = "&lt;script&gt;&lt;/script&gt;"; $("#someElement").append(code); What is the difference between lands and mana? What is the relationship between lands and mana in Magic and what do each of them do?  A good answer should especially include how a new player should think about them.    Note:  This is an attempt to create a canonical question about the relationship between lands and mana in Magic.  Beginners are often confused about this given the same symbols are used to mean different things across basic lands, non-basic lands, and mana costs.  This can lead to confusion about , about , or even about . Legitimate edits of less than 6 characters Advantages/Disadvantages of Partitioning a Drive I have a 100GB hard drive in my Win XP Pro desktop. I use an external 250GB drive for backups, and am wondering if there would be any advantages to partitioning my internal hard drive.   I understand that some people like to keep their OS and programs on one partition, and their data on another partion on the same hard drive.  I'd like people to list the advantages, or note any disadvantages.  Thanks.

Is there any way I can get Python to recognised which CRS is applicable for the conversion? How to create a rounded cone Documents with typical LaTeX errors I am giving a LaTeX course and have the idea to let the students find and solve problems within a few documents. Basically they shall learn how to create minimal examples and read error messages.  However, currently I have no document with 'typical' errors around.  If someone has such examples from him- or herself or within this forum I would like to have the code or link. It does not matter if its short or long. It should just be enough to let the students play with it for some minutes. In QGIS I would like to clip a raster precipitation layer using an admin boundary layer that is vector data. However the Geoprocessing tools seem to be usable only for vector data. How can I clip this precipitation layer? Filter questions with no accepted answer I have some questions with answers, but none of the answers are acceptable (just wrong).  I'm sure there are a lot more people with the same problem.  Can you add a button to filter questions with answers but no accepted answer?  This way, people will see those questions and maybe try to offer a new perspective. How to render an ASP.NET MVC view as a string? I want to output two different views (one as a string that will be sent as an email), and the other the page displayed to a user.  Is this possible in ASP.NET MVC beta?  I've tried multiple examples:  1.      If I use this example, I receive the "Cannot redirect after HTTP   headers have been sent.".   2.      If I use this, I seem to be unable to do a redirectToAction, as it   tries to render a view that may not exist. If I do return the view, it   is completely messed up and doesn't look right at all.   Does anyone have any ideas/solutions to these issues i have, or have any suggestions for better ones?  Many thanks!  Below is an example. What I'm trying to do is create the GetViewForEmail method:  public ActionResult OrderResult(string ref) {     //Get the order     Order order = OrderService.GetOrder(ref);      //The email helper would do the meat and veg by getting the view as a string     //Pass the control name (OrderResultEmail) and the model (order)     string emailView = GetViewForEmail("OrderResultEmail", order);      //Email the order out     EmailHelper(order, emailView);     return View("OrderResult", order); }   Accepted answer from Tim Scott (changed and formatted a little by me):  public virtual string RenderViewToString(     ControllerContext controllerContext,     string viewPath,     string masterPath,     ViewDataDictionary viewData,     TempDataDictionary tempData) {     Stream filter = null;     ViewPage viewPage = new ViewPage();      //Right, create our view     viewPage.ViewContext = new ViewContext(controllerContext, new WebFormView(viewPath, masterPath), viewData, tempData);      //Get the response context, flush it and get the response filter.     var response = viewPage.ViewContext.HttpContext.Response;     response.Flush();     var oldFilter = response.Filter;      try     {         //Put a new filter into the response         filter = new MemoryStream();         response.Filter = filter;          //Now render the view into the memorystream and flush the response         viewPage.ViewContext.View.Render(viewPage.ViewContext, viewPage.ViewContext.HttpContext.Response.Output);         response.Flush();          //Now read the rendered view.         filter.Position = 0;         var reader = new StreamReader(filter, response.ContentEncoding);         return reader.ReadToEnd();     }     finally     {         //Clean up.         if (filter != null)         {             filter.Dispose();         }          //Now replace the response filter         response.Filter = oldFilter;     } }   Example usage  Assuming a call from the controller to get the order confirmation email, passing the Site.Master location.  string myString = RenderViewToString(this.ControllerContext, "~/Views/Order/OrderResultEmail.aspx", "~/Views/Shared/Site.Master", this.ViewData, this.TempData); Consider there is a box of mass $m$ at rest on the floor. Most books give an example that we need to do a work of $mgh$ to lift the box $h$ upward.  If we analyze this work done, the external force acting on the box by us should be equal to the weight of the box. Therefore the net force is zero which in turn there is no acceleration. If there is no acceleration and the initial velocity of the box is also zero, how can the box move upward? Determining if trees within forest gaps are clustered using R?
