Howell, NJ: Protopresbyter Valery Lukianov celebrates Divine Liturgy on Anniversary of Priestly Ordination
On Monday, January 15, the feast of the Repose and Second Finding of the Relics of Venerable Seraphim, Wonderworker of Sarov, and the anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood, Protopresbyter Valery Lukianov celebrated Divine Liturgy in St. Alexander Nevsky Diocesan Cathedral in Howell, NJ. At Liturgy, Fr. Valery was co-served by his sons: Archpriest Serge and Protodeacon Nicholas, while Subdeacon Alexander, Reader John, and Alexis Lukianov served in the altar.
Valery S. Lukianov was born on December 21, 1927 in the city of Shanghai, China, to the family of Symeon M. and Zoya S. Lukianov.
He arrived in the U.S. on September 23, 1950 from the island of Tubabao, Philippines. He received his higher technical education in New York City, where he graduated with honor from the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn. He worked in construction until the end of 1968.
He received his theological education at Holy Trinity Theological Seminary in Jordanville, NY, from which he graduated in 1975.
On June 13, 1954, he married Irene P. Motcharsky, daughter of Archpriest Peter and Raisa V. Motcharsky.
On February 21, 1963, the feast day of the Holy Great-Martyr Theodore Stratelates, he was ordained to the diaconate in St. Sergius Church at the Synodal Headquarters in New York City by His Eminence John, Archbishop of Brussels & Western Europe – later of San Francisco. On January 15, 1967, the feast of Ven. Seraphim of Sarov, he was ordained to the priesthood by His Eminence Philaret, Metropolitan of Eastern America & New York, First Hierarch of the Russian Church Abroad, at St. Seraphim Church in Sea Cliff, NY.
On November 1, 1968, Fr. Valery was appointed rector of St. Alexander Nevsky Church in Lakewood, NJ. He also fulfilled obediences as acting head of the Russian Ecclesiastical Mission in Jerusalem and chairman of the Arts & Architecture Commission at the Synod of Bishops.
He was awarded the Synodal Order of the Sign of the Russian Church Abroad, 2nd and 1st Class. On January 15, 2017, in light of his significant labors in the fields of pastoral work, instructional authorship, and church construction, as well as in conjunction with the 50th anniversary of his ordination, he was awarded the Order of St. John of Shanghai, 1st Class.
Owing to ill health, Fr. Valery celebrated his last Liturgy on Pascha 2017, and since that time has regularly – as his health allows – prayed at the divine services in the cathedral and at Our Lady of Tikhvin Church, confessing and instructing parishioners at Sunday and festal services. On Monday, this blessed and particularly special day for Fr. Valery, he wore the cross with which Metropolitan Philaret had blessed him on the day of his ordination 51 years prior.
Despite its being a weekday, a multitude of Fr. Valery's relatives, spiritual children, longtime parishioners, and friends of the cathedral gathered for the Liturgy. Most of them communed of Christ's Holy Mysteries.
Upon completion of the service, Fr. Valery greeted the clergy and faithful with the feast and, in keeping with tradition, addressed those gathered with a sermon, in which he spoke about the life and labors of Venerable Seraphim of Sarov.
Fr. Serge thanked the Lord God for enabling Fr. Valery to serve at the Holy Altar on this most significant day, alongside his sons.
"I think that this was a special mercy shown toward you by Fr. [St.] Seraphim, whom you have always loved, and who hasn't forgotten you today," said Fr. Serge. "We would also like to congratulate Matushka Irene today, who is always by your side, thus making this a dual jubilee."
"Today my heart is singing, 'Christ is Risen!' as Fr. Seraphim would always say to those who came to him: 'My joy, Christ is Risen! Rejoice in the Lord!' And today we rejoice. We have gathered around the Altar and the Holy Chalice – all of your sons, joined by some of your grandsons, were in the sanctuary; your nephews and other relatives – in the choir. And today we feel that Paschal joy."
Fr. Serge noted that we can all receive a lesson from Fr. Valery's example – never to give in.
The protodeacon then intoned the Polychronion for Fr. Valery and Matushka Irene.
Fr. Valery thanked all of those who had prayed at the service, his family, the altar servers, and the choir singers – who performed his favorite liturgical hymns – and the sisterhood, which had toiled in preparing the festal luncheon. The clergy and faithful continued their interaction over lunch in the church hall.

Q: Merging different columns I have multiple lists that are in separate columns in excel. What I need to do is combine these columns of data into one big column. I do not care if there are duplicate entries. Below, I have just shown 3 columns, but the actual data has 20 such columns. The columns are not continuous, and I want to avoid printing the blank spaces in the final output.
      A   B   C
      _   _   _
ROW1| R   U   X
ROW2| S   V   Y
ROW3| T   W   Z

should combine into 1 column like this
      A
      _
Row1| R
Row2| S
Row3| T
Row4| U
...
Row12|Z

A: I will assume for simplicity that your raw data is in sheet1, and you want the output in sheet2, starting at A1 and going down. This is ideally a VBA project, but you have asked for a formula version - this is possible, but the more dynamic your data is (changing columns, changing row lengths, etc.), the more complicated this will be.
First, on sheet2 you will need to identify which columns hold your data. So in column D starting at D1 and going down, manually type those columns in, like so:
="A:A"
="B:B"
="E:E"

Beside each of those columns, you will want a count of how many rows are in each. Do this using the COUNTA function, which counts all non-blank cells [I am assuming that your data in sheet1 is continous, with no empty rows]. We will also use the INDIRECT function to determine which column to look at. So put this in E1, and drag down:
=COUNTA(INDIRECT("'Sheet1'!"&B1))

Then we want a running total of how many rows we have so far, one column after the other. Put this in F2 and drag down[F1 hardcode as 0]:
=SUM($E$1:E1)+.01

In Column B, we will now show which column that row's data is being pulled from, like so [starting in B1 and copied down]:
=INDEX(D:D,MATCH(ROW(),F:F,1))

In Column C, we will now show which row the data will be pulled from [starting in C1 and copied down]:
=COUNTIF($B$1:B1,B1)

In A1 and dragged down for as many total cells as you have data in, put the following [starting in A1, and dragged down]:
=INDEX(INDIRECT("'Sheet1'!"&B1),C1)

This looks like a lot of set-up - because it is. A lot of data manipulation is required if you aren't using VBA for something like this.

Q: Regex: Validating US zip code I'm looking for a regex that validates the US Zip Codes and cannot contain more then 2 0's at the start:
Eg: 00979 is a valid zip code (Puerto Rico)
But I want the user to refrain from entering something like 000979 or 00012
Valid Zipcodes are: 979, 0979, 00979, 970, 907, 0907, 00970 ...
Invalid Zipcodes are: 00000, 00012, 12, ...
I've come up with
/^\d[0-9][0-9]{1,3}[1-9]([\-]\d{4})?$/

but this does not validates 979. What am I doing wrong here? I've looked at other references regarding validation US Zip codes but none of them validates trailing 0's cases..

A: You can use this regex that allows up to 2 zeroes at the start:
^(?!0{3})[0-9]{3,5}$

RegEx Demo

A: isn't that your \d is already filtering out 1 [0-9]?

/^\d      [0-9]       [0-9]{1,3}   1-9?$/

The display screen, a pleasant cloth which is stretched right into a body, is left exposed in the areas which are going to be revealed, whereas the areas with a view to not be published are sealed. Silkscreen printing in Singapore is performed with a squeegee, that's used to squeeze the ink thru the first-rate meshes of the screen onto paper or different materials.
Compared to different printmaking strategies, the gain of display screen printing is the low prices, even for massive sizes. It is possible to create brilliant, transparent and opaque colors. And it's miles feasible to print on many extraordinary materials. This made silkscreen a totally appealing new medium for lots artists.
The time period of 'serigraphy' for display printing in artist printmaking and the English call "silkscreen" seek advice from the at the start used fabric of silk (Greek series = silk), that's substituted with the aid of synthetic fabric as nylon or polyester these days.
Since all through printing, the ink is pressed via the meshes of the screen, before printing the screen has to be prepared by using sealing the areas which must not be published. This can be completed by means of guide protecting or by using the usage of a photomechanical technique.
The easiest manner of sealing the display is to attach stencils from papers or foils to it. Another manual way is to draw on the display screen with a liquid display filler, which seals the display screen after hardening. There are many other manual ways of getting ready the display, and some of them are very experimental.
However, the most commonplace manner is the photomechanical transfer of tremendous films. For that, a good layer of an image touchy emulsion is implemented to the screen. After drying, the display screen, covered by way of the organized film, is exposed to UV mild, which hardens the photosensitive layer.
The parts of the display screen which have been covered with the aid of the film – and for that reason were not uncovered to the UV mild – do now not harden and may be washed out with water. The uncovered areas, but, do harden and so near the meshes of the screen.
Originally, oil-based inks have been used, but these days also water-based totally inks are to be had which can be less poisonous. With partial overprinting of obvious inks, it's far viable to supply a surprising lot of colors with only some screens (i. E. With six inks 63 colors can be produced).
For printing, the display screen is fixed to a table the use of hinges. The paper is located under it. Ink is poured onto the decrease edge of the display and spread over it to the higher area. This way the open areas of the display are full of ink.

Often due to their rate, they don't seem to be as standard as their inkjet counterparts. They will, nonetheless, be extra rate-mighty long run as their toner cartridges are more cost-effective in use than the cartridges inkjet printers use.
The 3D printer is a device via which we are able to categorical our creativity and provoke our neighbors with excessive-tech wizardry. The meaning of 3D Printer is permitted for a 3-dimensional object of an image. It would be enormously difficult for those who design it on your laptop. In the 3D printer, the photograph is rather created because of the three-dimensional prospect of the aspect. Nonetheless, this method is handed in an easy path wherein the objects are formulated inside the printer.
An extraordinarily skinny layer is formed as a printer makes the repeated passes that follow a sliced up blueprint which is provided by the laptop. Then the 3D type increases upwards on the fee of about 5cm in one hour till the process is just not accomplished. There are various producers that produce the 3D printers with distinctive strategies as two main organizations within the 3d sector like; Z Corp and 3D method offer a preference between the power and polymer as the fabric from which the item comes into slights. In an inkjet printer, the form of an object is created both by way of adding the glue to the energy or by means of pumping out the best drops of polymer that are then alleviated by using an extremely-violet lamp. There are a lot of advantages are enveloped within the 3D printers that make these printers obtainable to the consumers. Speedy prototyping has been used by the aircraft and automotive industries for years, however now finally becoming accessible to all buyers. Usually, 3D printers have characteristics which lay upon the luminous aspects as; now 3D printers can be utilized in an office atmosphere as they are very small and usually designed for making use of the materials in the type of cassettes or different enclosed approach.

Kansas tax cuts: Still reducing revenue.
Revenue numbers for July through September, the first three months of fiscal year 2015, suggest Kansas' revenue gap is permanent, not temporary. The state anticipated $578 million in personal income tax collections over the summer, but it took in just $524 million, a miss of more than 10 percent. That was nationally atypical; according to the Rockefeller Institute of Government, 14 states have published projected and actual monthly personal income tax receipts through September, and the other 13 all came within 5 percent of expectations.
By the end of this fiscal year, Barro estimates, the state—which spends about $14 billion annually—could be as much as $500 million short of its income tax projections. The gap has become an issue in Brownback's gubernatorial campaign against Democrat Paul Davis, which is currently considered a toss-up by Real Clear Politics despite Kansans' typically conservative voting patterns.

The worldwide bestseller, Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card comes to the screen at last in a major motion picture event in November 2013. Starring Hugo's Asa Butterfield, Harrison Ford, and Ben Kingsley, the movie is sure to inspire a new audience of fans to read the book that started it all.
Once again, Earth is under attack. An alien species is poised for a final assault. The survival of humanity depends on a military genius who can defeat the aliens. But who?
Ender Wiggin. Brilliant. Ruthless. Cunning. A tactical and strategic master. And a child.
Recruited for military training by the world government, Ender's childhood ends the moment he enters his new home: Battle School. Among the elite recruits Ender proves himself to be a genius among geniuses. He excels in simulated war games. But is the pressure and loneliness taking its toll on Ender? Simulations are one thing. How will Ender perform in real combat conditions? After all, Battle School is just a game. Isn't it?

Orson Scott Card is best known for his science fiction novel Ender's Game and its many sequels that expand the Ender Universe into the far future and the near past. Those books are organized into the Ender Quintet, the five books that chronicle the life of Ender Wiggin; the Shadow Series, that follows on the novel Ender's Shadow and are set on Earth; and the Formic Wars series, written with co-author Aaron Johnston, that tells of the terrible first contact between humans and the alien "Buggers." Card has been a working writer since the 1970s. Beginning with dozens of plays and musical comedies produced in the 1960s and 70s, Card's first published fiction appeared in 1977--the short story "Gert Fram" in the July issue of The Ensign, and the novelette version of "Ender's Game" in the August issue of Analog. The novel-length version of Ender's Game, published in 1984 and continuously in print since then, became the basis of the 2013 film, starring Asa Butterfield, Harrison Ford, Ben Kingsley, Hailee Steinfeld, Viola Davis, and Abigail Breslin.
Card was born in Washington state, and grew up in California, Arizona, and Utah. He served a mission for the LDS Church in Brazil in the early 1970s. Besides his writing, he runs occasional writers' workshops and directs plays. He frequently teaches writing and literature courses at Southern Virginia University.
He is the author many science fiction and fantasy novels, including the American frontier fantasy series "The Tales of Alvin Maker" (beginning with Seventh Son), and stand-alone novels like Pastwatch and Hart's Hope. He has collaborated with his daughter Emily Card on a manga series, Laddertop. He has also written contemporary thrillers like Empire and historical novels like the monumental Saints and the religious novels Sarah and Rachel and Leah. Card's work also includes the Mithermages books (Lost Gate, Gate Thief), contemporary magical fantasy for readers both young and old.
Card lives in Greensboro, North Carolina, with his wife, Kristine Allen Card. He and Kristine are the parents of five children and several grandchildren.
"Read Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game before the big-screen adaptation, starring Harrison Ford and Hugo's Asa Butterfield, hits theaters Nov. 1." —Entertainment Weekly, 13 Ways to Get Ready for '13
"Superb! This is Card at the height of his very considerable powers--a major SF novel by any reasonable standard." —Booklist
"An affecting novel full of surprises. Card never makes the mistake of patronizing or sentimentalizing his hero." —The New York Times Book Review

ET Life & Astrobiology
Guests David Darling, Greg Hunter
Martian Life & Earth-like Planets
Phobos & Artificial Structures
Life in Solar System & Beyond
Author and astronomer David Darling discussed why he believes that extraterrestrial life is astrobiological fact and for persuasive evidence of microbial life, we need look no further than our celestial neighbor, Mars. The Viking missions of 1976, found evidence of life in the Martian soil, but it was ignored due to faulty readings of a spectrometer that didn't find any carbon molecules, he detailed. More recently, evidence from the Phoenix Mars Lander showed UMOs (unidentified moving objects) in the soil, which he suspects are single-celled organisms (see images below). Under the soil, there could be a bigger community of life forms, perhaps something on the order of worms, he added.
Life could also exist elsewhere in our solar system. While the surface of Venus may be too hot to sustain life, "we do know that particles exist in the atmosphere of Venus, similar in size to bacteria," and these could actually be life forms that thrive about 30 miles above the ground in the dense "cloud deck," he said. Further, there are underground oceans on moons like Europa that might harbor life, as well as Saturn's moon, Titan, which has hydrocarbon lakes. Interestingly, there is a hydrocarbon lake on Earth, and "extremophiles" have been found living there, he noted.
There is also the possibility that life could be based on a structure other than carbon- "maybe it's based on silicon, maybe it could be based on pure radiation-- we don't know the limits of life," he commented. Regarding intelligent ETs visiting Earth, Darling suggested they could be observing our planet, using cloaked probes that we can't detect-- "It seems to me highly likely that we are being surveyed from a distance, and possibly from within the solar system as well."
Healthcare Bill Analysis
Last hour guest, reporter Greg Hunter offered analysis on Congress' Healthcare vote, and what will happen next. A lot of the costs won't be seen right away, but the currently insured are eventually going to see their premiums rise to help pay for the newly insured, he predicted. He also pointed out a possible loophole-- if a person doesn't purchase insurance, they'll pay a fine of $670, but they can later buy healthcare if they become ill.

Mention of Comrade Ernie McKone (who died in 1978) here:
ERNEST LEONARD MCKONE

hallblithe
ERNIE McKONEDeath struck Haringey Branch for the third time in recent months with the passing of Comrade E.L. (Ernie) McKone. at the age of 79. Ernie first came into contact with the Party in 1918 through its outdoor meetings. He had been in the army during the First World War but deserted in France after stopping by a pond to take a drink and seeing a human arm floating in the water. At one point in the early forties there were four McKones in the Party – Ernie, his son and two brothers. Like a number of members, he had to drop out of Party activities during the 1939-45 war but rejoined in 1956.Being self-employed he was able to speak his mind freely and would often button-hole passers-by outside his house and put the Socialist case to them. Despite declining health in later years he was a regular attender at the Branch and was constantly urging it into activity. Our sympathathies go to his wife and family.JULIAN VEIN(Socialist Standard, November 1978)

George Washington DeLong (22 d'agost de 1844 – 31 d'octubre de 1881) fou un oficial de la Marina dels Estats Units i un explorador polar que va morir a l'àrtic siberià.

Biografia
Nascut a Nova York, va ser educat a l'Acadèmia Naval dels Estats Units, a Maryland.

El viatge al Pol

James Gordon Bennett, Jr, l'amo del diari New York Herald, era un entusiasta de l'Àrtic, i havia obtingut la cooperació i l'assistència del govern en el condicionament d'una expedició al Pol Nord a través de l'estret de Bering. Al març de 1878, el Congrés va autoritzar els oficials de la Marina dels Estats Units a realitzar el viatge, i el tinent DeLong, va acompanyar Bennett a Europa per seleccionar un vaixell. Van triar lHMS Pandora, una canonera de la Royal Navy botada el 1859, que ja abans havia estat adquirida el 1875 per Sir Allan Young també per als seus viatges a l'Àrtic. El vaixell va ser rebatejat com a Jeannette i DeLong va navegar-hi des de Le Havre a San Francisco, durant l'estiu i la tardor de 1878.

A les drassanes navals d'Illa Mare, el Jeannette fou equipat amb noves calderes i equipament addicional, i el seu casc va ser reforçat massivament per tal de permetre-li de navegar a la banquisa àrtica. LUSS Jeannette havia de navegar sota les ordres de l'Armada i amb subjecció a les lleis i la disciplina naval, tot i que era de propietat privada. La tripulació constava de 30 oficials i soldats i 3 civils. El vaixell tenia el més avançat equipament científic i, a més, en cas d'arribar al Pol, entre la llista d'objectius hi figurava la realització de nombroses observacions científiques.

El viatge a l'Àrtic
La Jeannette va sortir de San Francisco el 8 de juliol de 1879, amb la missió addicional del Secretari de la Marina de buscar una altra expedició polar desapareguda des de feia molt de temps, la del Vega. El vaixell es va dirigir cap al nord, en direcció al Norton Sound, a Alaska i va enviar la seva última comunicació a Washington, DC el 27 d'agost, des de la badia de Sant Lawrence (Sibèria), poc abans de creuar l'estret de Bering.

El vaixell va navegar a través del mar de Chukchi i va albirar l'illa de Herald el 4 de setembre. Poc després, va quedar atrapat a la banquisa a prop de l'illa de Wrangel. Els següents 21 mesos, la robusta Jeannette va anar a la deriva cap al nord-oest, cada vegada més a prop de la meta de DeLong, el Pol Nord. DeLong va descriure en el seu diari l'important registre científic efectuat en el viatge:

Al maig de 1881 van descobrir i van donar nom a dues noves illes, illa Jeannette i illa Henrietta. Al juny, va ser descoberta i reclamada per als EUA una nova illa, illa Bennett. La nit del 12 de juny la pressió del gel finalment va començar a aixafar el Jeannette. DeLong i els seus homes van descarregar provisions i equip al gel i el vaixell es va enfonsar l'endemà al matí.

Abandonament del vaixell i tornada per Sibèria

L'expedició s'enfrontava a un llarg viatge a la costa siberiana, amb poques esperances fins i tot de ser després rescatats. Tanmateix, van començar a arrossegar els seus tres petits bots i subministraments en direcció al delta del riu Lena. Després d'assolir diverses illes petites al grup de Nova Sibèria i obtenir una mica de menjar i descans, van arribar aigües obertes el 12 de setembre i es van embarcar en els bots amb l'esperança d'aconseguir el continent. Enmig d'una tempesta, una de les embarcacions es va perdre i es creu que va sotsobrar i es va enfonsar, ja que va desaparèixer sense deixar rastre i mai va ser trobada. Les altres dues, al comandament de DeLong i de l'enginyer en cap George W. Melville, van sobreviure a les males condicions meteorològiques, i van arribar al delta, encara que en punts molt distants entre si.

La partida encapçalada per DeLong va començar una llarga caminada terra endins sobre els pantans, en part mig gelats del delta, tot esperant trobar assentaments natius, i un per un els homes van morir d'inanició i per les dures condicions. Finalment, DeLong va enviar els dos més forts per davant per buscar ajuda, però tot i que finalment van trobar un assentament i van tornar en el seu socors, van trobar DeLong i els seus companys morts a la tundra siberiana d'inanició, prop de Mat Vay, Iakutsk. (Vegeu: William Henry Gilder)

Els intents de rescat de Melville
Mentrestant, l'intrèpid Melville i la seva partida havien trobat un llogaret nadiu a l'altre costat del delta i van ser rescatats. Melville llavors va partir cap a Belun, un lloc d'avançada de Rússia, on van trobar els dos supervivents del bot de DeLong i convèncer un grup de nadius per anar amb ell a la recerca del seu comandant. Van trobar afortunadament el lloc d'arribada al Lena i recuperar el diari de l USS Jeannette i altres documents i registres importants, però van tornar a Belun el 27 de novembre sense localitzar DeLong. Conservant només dos dels membres de la seva partida, Melville va tornar al nord una vegada més, i finalment van trobar els cadàvers de DeLong i els seus dos companys el 23 de març de 1882 i van construir un gran cairn (una pila de pedres) sobre la tomba dels seus amics.

Abans de sortir de Sibèria, Melville va fer un intent de trobar les restes del tercer bot del Jeannette, tot i que la possibilitat de trobar supervivents era molt petita. Va tornar decebut a Irkutsk, la capital de Sibèria, el 5 de juliol de 1882, gairebé 3 anys des de la seva sortida de San Francisco amb el Jeannette. Els resultats de l'expedició, tant meteorològics com geogràfics, van ser importants. Melville va ser honrat amb raó per la seva valentia i tenacitat, i el nom de George Washington DeLong és considerat com un dels herois entre les files dels exploradors de la Marina. Finalment, el viatge va causar la mort de dinou membres de l'expedició, sense comptar els d'altres homes perduts durant les operacions de recerca.

Conseqüències

Es varen intentar diverses expedicions de recerca i rescat, incloses una amb el cútter USRC Thomas Corwin, i una altra amb el vapor balener USS Rodgers.

El 1890, els oficials i homes de la Marina dels Estats Units van dedicar un monument de granit i marbre a la memòria del tinent George Washington DeLong i la tripulació de lUSS Jeannette. Es va realitzar un disseny que reproduïa en granit i marbre el «cairn» siberià i va ser erigit al cementiri de a l'Acadèmia Naval d'Annapolis, sobre el riu Severn. Es van recuperar els cossos de DeLong i cinc dels seus homes, que estan enterrats al cementiri Woodlawn, del Bronx, a Nova York.

Molt de temps després del succés, algunes restes de la Jeannette van ser trobades al costat americà de l'Oceà Àrtic. Aquests restes alertaren Fridtjof Nansen i li van permetre elaborar la seva hipòtesi que el gel de l'oceà Àrtic estava en constant moviment, partint de la costa de Sibèria cap a la costa d'Amèrica. Per provar aquesta hipòtesi, Nansen va planificar i portar a terme l'expedició del Fram, que va confirmar la proposta de la deriva marina del gel a l'Àrtic.

Reconeixements
Un subgrup de l'arxipèlag de les illes de Nova Sibèria duu el seu nom, illes De Long, que inclou les tres illes descobertes per l'expedició: illa de Bennet, illa Jeannette i illa Henriette. També porta el seu nom l'estret de De Long, un estret que separa l'illa de Wrangel de la part continental de Sibèria i que connecta el mar dels Txuktxis i el mar de Sibèria Oriental.

Dos vaixells de l'Armada dels EUA foren anomenats en honor seu USS DeLong, i igualment les muntanyes DeLong al nord-oest d'Alaska.

Q: Notation Question $K[x]/(p(x))$
If $K$ is a field and $p(x)$ is in $K[x]$, I just want to make sure I know what $L = K[x]/(p(x))$ refers to.

Does it refer to the set of all polynomials in $K[x]$ multiplied by $ p(x)$?
Thanks!

A: The convention is to write (a) for all elements of a ring multiplied by one of it's elements 'a'. This is called the principal ideal generated by that element.  The notation $R /I   $  means quotient ring by
an ideal I.

The Board of Zoning Appeals hears arguments for the granting of a variance, or exception, to the zoning ordinance. An example would be a person who wishes to build a structure closer to the lot line than the Village Code allows. This person would be denied a building permit, since he/she did not meet the requirements. They could then "appeal" the denial of the permit to the Board of Zoning Appeals.
The Board of Appeals meets as needed, at a time convenient to the members and the appellant.
The Board of Appeals consists of five citizen members, and two alternates, appointed by the Village President and confirmed by the Village Board for staggered three-year terms. Terms end on third Monday in April.
To be granted a variance, state law has very stringent guidelines the Board of Appeals must follow:
The property owner must have no other use of the property without the granting of a variance.
The property must be unique in some way, that makes it different from other properties
The reason for the variance cannot be self-created (a person builds a shed without getting a building permit, and then it is discovered that the shed is too close to the neighbor's lot line. A request for a variance to the setback provisions would not be granted as the reason the variance was needed was self-created).
Consider serving your community in this capacity and become more involved in the governing of your Village! The time commitment for either body is minimal, especially the Board of Appeals which typically meets once a year.
If you are interested in becoming a member of the Planning Commission or Board of Zoning Appeals, please contact the Clerk/Treasurer.
