  • 1755 Election Ballot-Marked by Check Mark, Not an X
    OPINIONS 1755 ELECTION BALLOT-MARKED BY CHECK MARK, NOT AN X MARK-SQUARE SPACE OPPOSITE CANDIDATE'S NAME -TECHNICAL ERROR-NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE VOTER'S CHOICE-BALLOT SO MARKED NOT INVALI­ DATED. SYLLABUS: An election ballot marked by a check mark, rather than the "X" as directed by law, in the square space opposite a candidate's name, is a technical error only, and is one which does not make it impossible to determine the voter's choice, and such ballot so marked is not thereby invalidated. Columbus, Ohio, May l 5, 1950 Hon. Anthony J. Bowers, Prosecuting Attorney Allen County, Lima, Ohio Dear Sir: Your request for my opinion reads as follows : "At the election held May 2, 1950, there was a tie vote for member of the Republican County Central Committee between two candidates. However, there are two disputed ballots which were not counted. The Board of Elections adopted a resolution whereby the two disputed ballots were not counted and the tie vote resulted. They later rescinded the resolution and disre­ garded the two ballots. Your formal opinion is requested as to interpretation of General Code 4785-144 in regard to the two disputed ballots. The two ballots, instead of being marked with an X, were marked with a check mark as indicated below : (Here you indicate by a sketch that in the square space at the left of the candidate's name the voter placed a check mark instead of an "X") General Code 4785-144 reads 'No ballot shall be counted which is marked contrary to law except that no ballot shall be rejected for any technical error unless it is impossible to deter­ mine the voter's choice.' It is my opinion that the voter's choice can be determined and that there is no technical error.

    LESSON 13 Read about this PROVISIONAL EDITION in the front matter to this book. Check the NFB website periodically for updates to this lesson. ▪ MISCELLANEOUS SYMBOLS FORMAT ▪ Unspaced Miscellaneous Symbols Division Problems ▪ Spaced Miscellaneous Symbols Spatial Arrangements With Division ▪ Spacing with the Angstrom Unit and Tally Marks ▪ SUPERPOSED SIGNS ▪ AMBIGUOUS SIGNS ▪ MULTIPURPOSE INDICATOR MISCELLANEOUS SYMBOLS In this lesson, symbols are grouped according to spacing rules: unspaced, spaced, and those with special rules. Within each section, the symbols are presented in alphabetical order. Unspaced Miscellaneous Symbols 13.1 Spacing Rules for Unspaced Symbols: No space is left between the symbols listed below and any other symbol or quantity to which they apply, regardless of print spacing idiosyncrasies. However, a space must be left between these symbols and a word, an abbreviation, a sign of comparison, or other symbol which specifically requires a space before or after it. 13.1.1 Caret _< Caret ∧ In addition to the caret being used as a modifier above or below a mathematical expression as shown in Lesson 12, it may be used as a place indicator with the decimal point to show the position to which the decimal point has been moved. Used as a place indicator, it is treated as a numeric symbol. #.37_<688 ⫸ .37 ̭688 Example 13.1-1 The caret (^) shows the place to which the decimal is moved: .37 ̭688 ,! C>ET _% (_<) _: %[S !

    TIPS & TRICKS FOR THE EQUATION EDITOR OR MATHTYPE USER Presented by: Bob Mathews Director of Training Design Science, Inc. E-mail: [email protected] Phone: 830-990-9699 Welcome to Tips & Tricks for the Equation Editor or MathType User. This session is not designed to teach you how to use Microsoft Equation Editor or MathType. We assume you already know how to use these products. In the session, you will learn how to use these products better and more efficiently. We will be using Microsoft Word today, but MathType works very well with other word processors (such as WordPerfect and AppleWorks), presentation software (such as PowerPoint and Corel Presentations), web page-authoring software (such as FrontPage), as well as most other software. I hope many of your needs will be addressed in this session but if you need help in the future, the following sources are available: 9 Equation Editor Tips & Tricks – Even if you’re a MathType user, our Equation Editor Tips & Tricks will likely have several tips you can use. Access the tips from our home page: www.dessci.com. Your email address will be your password to access the page immediately. 9 Help File – MathType and Equation Editor both have extensive help files. 9 User Manual – MathType comes with a comprehensive User Manual, and many questions can be answered by referring to the manual. Chapter 4 of the MathType User Manual includes 18 step-by-step tutorials to get you started. Equation Editor has no printed user documentation. 9 Technical Support – We provide lifetime technical support for MathType and limited technical support for Equation Editor.

Type: Input to ISO/IEC 10646:2012 Title: Proposal to add Wingdings and Webdings Symbols Source: Michel Suignard – Expert contribution Project: JTC1 02.10646 Status: For review by UTC and WG2 Date: 2011-05-09 Distribution: WG2, UTC Reference: Medium: The following document is a draft proposal for adding into Unicode/ISO 10646 the repertoire of four popular symbol sets which is not yet encoded, these symbols set are: - Webdings - Wingdings - Wingdings 2 - Wingdings 3 The document contains a description of these sets, followed by a proposal summary form (page 47-48) and UCS charts and name lists for the proposed new 667 characters (highlighted in yellow) out of a total of 867 glyphs in the 4 sets. The 193 characters already encoded (highlighted in light purple) are also shown in the same charts. The symbols set are used by applications through their private encoding space or in Unicode Private Use Area (U+F020-U+F0FF). This is not optimal for interchange, and it would be preferable to dedicate actual encoding values for these symbols. It would also make them searchable. Adding them would complement the work that was recently done for the Japanese ARIB set and the Emoji set. Any proposal to encode the Webdings/Wingdings set has to address peculiarities of that set: - Because the sets are installed and used in hundreds of millions of computing devices, unification with existing similar but slightly different glyphs is difficult.

  • How to Proofread Your Own Paper Effectively
    HOW TO PROOFREAD YOUR OWN PAPER EFFECTIVELY For quick help, read through the first two pages of this handout; for more in-depth help, work the rest of the pages. 1. When writing your first draft, double-space and use only one side of the paper. This arrangement makes your paper easier to read and allows room for editing. 2. Let it "rest." Don't proofread your paper as soon as you finish. Have a snack or call a friend— then proofread. Let it rest overnight. A second proofing the next day is usually more effective. 3. When proofreading, read aloud slowly. Pause after each sentence. Make sure you read exactly what is written—not what you think you wrote. 4. Try reading the paper backwards, sentence by sentence. This technique makes you focus on one sentence at a time. 5. Use a different color ink to help you easily find your corrections when you retype/rewrite your paper. 6. Proofread your paper twice: once for content and organization and once for grammar. 7. Don’t count on your computer’s spell check to do your final proofing for you. It helps, but your eyes need to go over the paper, word by word, before it is turned in. Watch out for homonyms— words that sound alike but which have different meanings: e.g., they're, there, their; for, four, fore. WHAT TO LOOK FOR CONTENT/ORGANIZATION Thesis: 1. Highlight the thesis sentence. Circle the specific words that indicate the purpose of the paper. 2. What is the thesis or reason this paper was written? 3.
