} already discussed in the blog a bit (see also the comments there linking to newer posts), Q2A offers not only tags as a means to characterize question, there is also built in the possibility to define and use broader categories (and subcategories) to organize questions. The category (and subcategory) can be choosen too, when asking a question.
For now, from the earlier discussions we came up with the following broad first level categories:
These broad categories can be further subdivided into subcategories. For the Main category we have from the blog discussions about what topics should be allowed on PhysicsOverflow
Meta is currently subdivided into the categories
If I understand the sophisticated refereeing suggestion right, the Reviews category might be subdivided into ArXiv categories, and concerning Vixra I dont know (how important will non-mainstream be here anyway?)
Update
Take these discussions into account, I have removed the non-mainstream category for now
Update2
The for PhysicsOverflow relevant ArXiv categories are now mapped in a one-to-one correspondance to sub-categories of the Reviews section, such that we presently have
As I understand the Refereeing idea, it nicely fits into this structure of categories. And in my personal opinion, refereeing should rather complement and extend the initial idea we had for PhysicsOverflow to be some kind of a revival of Theoretical Physics SE with a slightly lowered bar to ask (gratuate level upward) and extended scope, than replacing it. The current organization easily allows for (top) researchers doing cutting edge physics in the Refereeing categories and advanced students and people who posses the necessary knowledge about the topics of the site to do high-level "conventional" Q&A in the Main category. With this organizatio, researchers and top physicists who are annoyed or bored by graduate level questions, can easily exclusively focus on refereeing if needed.
I think "ViXrA" should be renamed. It doesn't make sense to copy the name of an existing site.
Yes I agree, but I have no good idea for another name...
Can't we just use "Non-mainstream Physics"?
Or what about "Independent Researchers",?
I have now changed the name of the Vixra category to non-mainstream. What has to be considered concerning this category, that it may attract people like Robert L Oldershow, Zephir, Uncle Al, and other celebrities well known in the physics blogosphere... This is in my opinion a bit dangerous as long as we are not able to decouple the reputation gained in different categories...
In addition, to enhance the fact that the Refereeing category may work rather different from the category dedicated to ask and answer general graduate-level upward physics questions, I have renamed the Main category to Q&A. Both, the Refereeing section of PhysicsOverflow and the Q2A section I have made available from the top menu bar too for easier toggling between Refereeing, Q&A, and Meta.
I think it doesn't matter for the nm and rest of the rep to be coupled together. I'm sure that people like Zephir and Uncle Al (don't know who Robert Odershlow is, heard the name before, htough) will get downvoted to obscurity, anyway.
What I am more concerned about is whether it is possible to completely turn off rep for the meta section only.
I am still not convinced having a non-mainstream section is a good idea. Does somebody have an argument for it?
I'm not sure if it's that useful. You can add categorizing tags to existing ones anyway such as c1_theoretical physics where c means a categorising tag, the 1 refers to the level. Of course, this means only administrators are allowed to tag questions this way, otherwise the system will end up a mess.
user contributions licensed under cc by-sa 3.0 with attribution requiredWelcome to the kitchen! I am your host here, Alfreddo, and today the game we are reviewing is my favorite game…Hearthstone! What is Hearthstone you may ask? Hearthstone is a card game made by Blizzard. Here’s the catch: if you ever play WoW (World Of Warcraft), you will see that most of the characters that are on the cards are originally from there. Within Hearthstone there are nine sets of characters to choose from—Paladin, Warlock, Warrior, Shaman, Mage, Druid, Hunter, Priest, and Rogue—each with their own strengths and weaknesses.
For those who are new to Hearthstone, If you have ever played Poker or Magic, this game should be a piece of cake. In addition, each set of characters (or class) has its own unique abilities, which helps balance the game. Really, there are three main aspects to the game: Value, Control, and Mana Curve. To learn more about them, watch my video above, and for even more information, check out the Hearthstone website.
If your neighbor’s land stands at a higher elevation than yours, you may be experiencing problems with excessive moisture on your property. You need better yard drainage, and the professionals at Green Acres Landscaping & Aquascaping can help.
Typical drainage system cross section.
French drains are one option to address drainage issues. These drains get their name from Henry French, a judge and farmer from Concord, Massachusetts, who wrote a book titled “Farm Drainage” in 1859. These drains are simple trenches about 6” to 24” wide and 10” to 24” deep. A trench is excavated and lined with filter fabric. A 4” perforated pipe is placed in the bottom of the trench, and then the trench is filled with washed gravel. Surface water will drain through this gravel and run through the pipe to a determined runoff point.
The typical price range for a French drain system is $15 to $25 per lineal foot.
The curtain drain can be a good option for groundwater issues that are affecting both the yard and house. A curtain drain is essentially an oversized French drain, often 6’ deep and 2’ wide. Its job is to lower the water table downgrade in order to protect the house. Installing one on the upgrade side of your property can yield a significant improvement if you are experiencing a very wet yard and/or water entering your crawlspace or basement due to excessive groundwater issues. It is usually only necessary to intercept water moving through the ground toward the house to eliminate the moisture problem. The curtain drain method is an important consideration particularly for retrofit installations as it can reduce site disruption and the resulting cost of excavation.
The typical price range for a curtain drain system ranges from $30 to $75 per lineal foot.
If you are getting water in your crawlspace or basement, then foundation waterproofing and an integrated drainage system may be the solution.
To do this, the perimeter of the foundation is excavated to expose the foundation wall and footing. A waterproof membrane is then applied to the foundation wall and wrapped down over the top of the footing. Foam board insulation is then applied to the foundation wall to both protect the waterproof membrane and to add insulation value to the home’s exterior. A 4” perforated pipe is installed around the footing of the house. The trench is then backfilled with one foot of 2” drain rock and covered with filter fabric. The remaining excavated area is backfilled with native soils from the site and finish graded to provide for proper surface drainage away from the house. Ideally the 4” pipe is then extended to a place on the property in which it can exit at the surface grade. If the property does not have enough grade change to achieve this, then a water collection area will be excavated to add a wet well and filled with drain rock. A submersible pump can then be installed in the wet well to remove water from the system.
Foundation waterproofing and footing drain projects often range from $10,000 to $15,000.
Green Acres has extensive experience and has had great success in drainage systems and water management strategies, but we are not engineers. Depending on the severity and complexity of your water issues, you may want to consult with an engineer to perform a site evaluation and provide a proposal for a specific drainage system that Green Acres Landscaping could then install
