  • Invasive Trees of Georgia Pub10-14
    Pub. No. 39 October 2016 Invasive Trees of Georgia by Dr. Kim D. Coder, Professor of Tree Biology & Health Care Warnell School of Forestry & Natural Resources, University of Georgia Georgia has many species of trees. Some are native trees and some have been introduced from outside the state, nation, or continent. Most of Georgia’s trees are well- behaved and easily develop into sustainable shade and street trees. A few tree species have an extrodinary ability to upsurp resources and take over sites from other plants. These trees are called invasive because they effectively invade sites, many times eliminat- ing other species of plants. There are a few tree species native to Georgia which are considered invasive in other parts of the country. These native invasives, may be well-behaved in Georgia, but reproduce and take over sites elsewhere, and so have gained an invasive status from at least one other invasive species list. Table 1. There are hundreds of trees which have been introduced to Georgia landscapes. Some of these exotic / naturalized trees are considered invasive. The selected list of Georgia invasive trees listed here are notorious for growing rampantly and being difficult to eradicate. Table 2.

  • Varnishing Than with Any Other Stage of the Painting Process
    INFO SHEET 301 UPDATED JULY 2016 VA R NISHING We get more questions about varnishing than with any other stage of the painting process. Varnishing should be an almost mechanical process undertaken to give your painting a protective coating with the surface quality you prefer (gloss, satin, etc.) and possibly an enhancement of colour contrast. But, if you leave it till the last moment and use a varnish you are not used to, you can ruin the work you are trying to protect. Anxiety and disappointment can be avoided easily if you do sample pieces using the same materials as the painting and varnish them, not the painting, until you get the effect you wanted. Water-based varnishes are tricky to apply and not removable if you dislike the effect, so we suggest they should only be used by artists who have already tried the above experiment. CHROMA SOLVENT FINISHING VARNISHES We recommend and prefer our Chroma Solvent Finishing Varnishes, because they can be used on all our Chroma paint brands, Atelier Interactive, Jo Sonja’s or Archival Oils. Application of all these varnishes is by brush (a broad house paint brush), and clean up is with mineral spirits. If applying multiple coats, allow 24 hours drying time between applications. Choose from these finishes: Gloss Solvent Finishing Varnish • Apply as is for a full gloss, usually one coat. To reduce gloss add Invisible Varnish to your taste. Try 2 parts varnish to 1 part Invisible Varnish, up to 1:1 for less sheen. NOTE: The new varnishes have an anti-mould additive which is diluted if you add turpentine, so to maintain the mould protection for tropical conditions dilute with Invisible Varnish instead.

    GOING IN STYLE (#3): ON TYPOGRAPHY, PART 2 Typography is “the visual component of the written word.” (Matthew Butterick, Typography for Lawyers: Essential Tools for Polished & Persuasive Documents (2nd ed. 2015) p. 20.) As discussed in the previous issue of this series, typography is a subtle but significant aspect of every brief we file, with the capacity to improve persuasiveness by making reading easier and demonstrating professionalism through attention to detail. While there are few hard rules in brief typography, there are many areas that call for practitioners’ consideration and consistency. The previous issue addressed two aspects of typography — type composition and text formatting. Here we will take up a third — page layout. PAGE LAYOUT Page layout is the way text looks on the page, including the amount of white space. The California Rules of Court impose a single page layout requirement: rule 8.204(b)(6)1 requires margins of 1.5" on left and right sides, 1" top and bottom. Other than that, brief writers have decisions to make. ● Line spacing Line spacing, the vertical distance between lines of text, must be a minimum 1.5 lines. (Rule 8.204(b)(5).) Although experts generally say something slightly less than 1.5-spaced lines is best for reading, it depends on how long the lines are. (See Ruth Anne Robbins, Painting with print: Incorporating concepts of typographic and layout design into the text of legal writing documents (2004) 2 J. Assoc. of Legal Writing Directors 108, 123–124.) In an appellate brief with 1.5" margins on an 8.5 x 11" page,1.5-spaced lines, which is what the 1 Citations to rules refer to the California Rules of Court.
