Coordinate variation of a Wilson loop
Gauge fields and strings: Loop equations
How far into space does one have to travel to see the entire sphere of earth? Virgin Galactic will take passengers aboard SpaceShipTwo  above the surface of the earth. But from this altitude, passengers will only be able to see a certain segment of the curvature of the earth through .  How much further into space would SpaceShipTwo have to travel to give passengers a view of the entire sphere of earth through one of these windows? Would a very small creature inside a sealed container carried by a character take damage from AOE spells? Assume character A is in the AOE of a damaging spell.  Character A is carrying a closed container inside his backpack, alongside several sheets of parchment.  Damaging spell description specifically states that items carried by a creature are not damaged even on a failed save. Unattended objects are damaged, though.  Inside said container there is a small creature. Creature has no problem living inside container for a long amount of time.  Does this creature take damage from the spell? If it does not, what mechanic prevents damage? I have a 16GB flash drive. I'm running Ubuntu 14.04. I can't open my flash drive and I can't see it in GParted.  After running tail -f /var/log/syslog .

I know this sounds like a silly question and it may be closed before it may get a single answer but there is something strange in my house which beeps infrequently. I tried to troubleshoot the sound but no luck. I thought may be its coming from the living room but there is nothing special in the living room which may make a beep sound.  Can someone point me what should i look for to figure out what is making this sound? Where in Europe can I purchase a car without residency? I am not a resident anywhere and plan to travel for the foreseeable future, mostly in Europe. My country has good visa-free access to most of Europe, so it is conceivable I could remain without any residency for quite some time.  I enjoy driving, and maintaining cars, and I would like to purchase a car somewhere in Europe.  Where, if anywhere, in Europe (or outside of Europe, but with the ability to drive the car in Europe) can I legally purchase and insure a car as a non-resident? I am open to creative solutions like setting up a company to own the car, if the capital and ongoing paperwork requirements for the company are not too onerous.    I am aware that I could save money, get places quicker, etc, by taking trains or flying. I have a passion for cars and driving. Suggesting that I not buy a car is out of scope of this question. Why is accuracy not the best measure for assessing classification models? Exclusion in formation of comparative statements I was going through the topic "formation of comparative and superlative".       The rule says     When two objects are compared with each other, the latter term of comparison must exclude the former, as in "Iron is more useful than any other metal". If we say "Iron is more useful than any metal", that is the same thing as saying    "Iron is more useful than iron", since iron is itself a metal.   I am finding difficulty to relate the rule with example. I am relatively new to Blender so please excuse me if this is rather amateur!   The bottom of my torus has poor surface quality, I have scaled the vertices down for a smaller (variable) tubular radius all the way around the torus and at the bottom the surface quality is awful, with inaccurate shading. Any ideas as to what is wrong and/or how I could fix this?  Thanks, itsanate What are the minimum requirements to run Windows 10? Seeking world map with boundaries of regions and communities for commercial use? Origin of electric charge Move all files of type to a new folder in windows 7 I was surfing the internet the other day when I found this phrase: Instead your precious time and attention is wasted. To my ears, it sounds wrong. But I'm not a native English speaker, so I consulted with a number of them, and some of them said that it was "is" because the adjective modifies only the noun "time" and not "attention". Others said it "is" because that's just how it is. But I still believe it should be "are". Any help is appreciated. How do I find out what tool a shortcut is triggering? I used to have problem with connecting two objects, because when I smooth the final object, there was a darker line on the connected parts (for example when I was making head, I've had eyes darker this way). Then I found out that I can get rid of it by hitting Ctrl+N, but I don't realy know what it does. I can just see that the lines are gone. So, what does Ctrl+N do? I would like to ask for some simple examples showing the uses of &lt;div&gt; and &lt;span&gt;.   I've seen them both used to mark a section of a page with an id or class, but I'm interested in knowing if there are times when one is preferred over the other.
