This is puzzling to an outsider conscious of the classic tradition of liberalism, because it is clear that these Democrats who are left-of-center are at opposite poles from the liberal Jefferson, who held that the best government was the least government.

In fact it has caused us to give serious thought to moving our residence south, because it is not easy for the most objective Southerner to sit calmly by when his host is telling a roomful of people that the only way to deal with Southerners who oppose integration is to send in troops and shoot the bastards down.

Had the situation been reversed, had, for instance, England been the enemy in 1898 because of issues of concern chiefly to New England, there is little doubt that large numbers of Southerners would have happily put on their old Confederate uniforms to fight as allies of Britain.

The `` approximate '' is important, because even after the order of the work has been established by the chance method, the result is not inviolable.

Often it is recognized that all the details of the pattern may not be essential to the outcome but, because the pattern was empirically determined and not developed through theoretical understanding, one is never quite certain which behavior elements are effective, and the whole pattern becomes ritualized.

Yet often fear persists because, even with the most rigid ritual, one is never quite free from the uneasy feeling that one might make some mistake or that in every previous execution one had been unaware of the really decisive act.

In that paper Faraday explained that when an electrolytic cell is oriented so that electric current traverses the " decomposing body " ( electrolyte ) in a direction " from East to West, or, which will strengthen this help to the memory, that in which the sun appears to move ", the anode is where the current enters the electrolyte, on the East side: " ano upwards, odos a way ; the way which the sun rises " (, reprinted in ).

The target's motion is initially downwards and outwards, but it becomes outwards and upwards.

As a result, about one third of the volume of the transient crater is formed by the ejection of material, and the remaining two thirds is formed by the displacement of material downwards, outwards and upwards, to form the elevated rim.

A common mistake users make is to leave the CD-Rs with the " clear " ( recording ) surface upwards, in order to protect it from scratches, as this lets the sun hit the recording surface directly.

A loaded, weighted or crooked die is one that has been tampered with to land with a specific side facing upwards more often than it normally would.

In comparison with the French bow, the German bow has a taller frog, and it is held with the palm angled upwards, as is done for the upright members of the viol family.

Most of this thermal radiation is absorbed by the atmosphere and re-radiated both upwards and downwards ; that radiated downwards is absorbed by the Earth's surface.

* The zenith is the point on the celestial sphere where the direction of the gravity vector in a point, extended upwards, intersects it.

Some believe that to hang it with the ends pointing upwards is good luck as it acts as a storage container of sorts for any good luck that happens to be floating by, whereas to hang it with the ends pointing down, is bad luck as all the good luck will fall out.

The electric gadget is most helpful when there are many crowned teeth and in individuals who are elderly, bedfast with a chronic disease, or are handicapped by disorders such as cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy.

A flashlight or electric lantern also should be available for those periods when a brighter light is needed.

A portable electric heater is advisable for shelters in cold climates.

Do build a wall of glowing coals six to eight inches in front of meat that is barbecued on an electric spit.

In free-burning electric arcs, for instance, approximately 90% of the total arc power is transferred to the anode giving rise to local heat fluxes in excess of Af as measured by the authors -- the exact value depending on the arc atmosphere.

The simplest division, and the one most frequently used ( with subdivisions ) in gas and electric rate cases, is a threefold division of the total operating and capital costs into `` customer costs '', `` energy '' or `` volumetric costs '', and `` demand '' or `` capacity '' costs.

Conventional energy for processing foods is available in the range of at most a few cents per kwhr for electric power and the equivalent of a few mills per kwhr for process steam.

The ampere ( SI unit symbol: A ), often shortened to amp, is the SI unit of electric current ( quantity symbol: I, i ) and is one of the seven SI base units.

In practical terms, the ampere is a measure of the amount of electric charge passing a point in an electric circuit per unit time with 6. 241 × 10 < sup > 18 </ sup > electrons, or one coulomb per second constituting one ampere.

Ampère's force law states that there is an attractive or repulsive force between two parallel wires carrying an electric current.

Argon is mostly used as an inert shielding gas in welding and other high-temperature industrial processes where ordinarily non-reactive substances become reactive ; for example, an argon atmosphere is used in graphite electric furnaces to prevent the graphite from burning.

Another environmental concern is a significant drop in Lake Sevan's water level because of drawdowns for irrigation and the diversion of water to hydroelectric plants to compensate for the electric power lost through the inactivity of the nuclear plant at Metsamor.

Because of their relatively large mass, + 2 electric charge and relatively low velocity, alpha particles are very likely to interact with other atoms and lose their energy, so their forward motion is effectively stopped within a few centimeters of air.

Another convention is to distinguish particles by their electric charge.

Corresponding to most kinds of particles, there is an associated antiparticle with the same mass and opposite electric charge.
