The same is true of areas which at first look good because of a few existing recreation features but may actually be poor areas to develop for general public use.

`` You are bound to get involved with people when you have children '', Fran had told me at our first meeting, `` so it is good to know that those with whom you get involved are not just dreary little housewives and dull husbands, but People Who Do Things ''.

The first superhighways -- New York's Henry Hudson and Chicago's Lake Shore, San Francisco's Bay Bridge and its approaches, a good slice of the Pennsylvania Turnpike -- were built as part of the federal works program which was going to cure the depression.

Smith's first workout with stresses, pitches, and junctures was based on mother, which spells, in our culture, a good deal more than bread alone.

It seemed like a good time for officials to use a recently-passed law empowering the post office department to contract for the transport of first class mail by air.

Various factors in the setting can still be of great advantage in making the first intercourse a good rather than a bad memory for one or both.

The first step toward the goal is the establishment of a new atmosphere of mutual good will and friendly communication on other than the polemical level.

In the first place, a good many writers who are said to use folklore, do not, unless one counts an occasional superstition or tale.

No wonder Khrushchev's first message to President Kennedy was a wistful desire for the return of the `` good old days '' of Roosevelt.

That first time was good and it stuck with me.

In his first sermon, given during the first month of the plague, Paneloux describes the epidemic as the " flail of God ," through which God separates the wheat from the chaff, the good from the evil.

He made the first measurement of stellar parallax: 0. 3 arcsec for the binary star 61 Cygni.

Some conversions from one system of units to another need to be exact, without increasing or decreasing the precision of the first measurement.

: A further argument is that relativistic difficulties about establishing which measurement occurred first also undermine the idea that one observer is causing what the other is measuring.

This is totally spurious, since no matter who measured first the other will measure the opposite spin despite the fact that ( in theory ) the other has a 50 % ' probability ' ( 50: 50 chance ) of measuring the same spin, unless data about the first spin measurement has somehow passed faster than light ( of course TI gets around the light speed limit by having information travel backwards in time instead ).

This method of measurement is inherited from the method used for the first generation of CRT television, when picture tubes with circular faces were in common use.

It is one thing to say that physical measurement of the first particle's momentum affects uncertainty in its own position, but to say that measuring the first particle's momentum affects the uncertainty in the position of the other is another thing altogether.

Astronomers had believed for some time that parallax would provide the first accurate measurement of interstellar distances — in fact, in the 1830s there was a fierce competition between astronomers to be the first to measure a stellar parallax accurately.

His announcement of Sirius's " dark companion " in 1844 was the first correct claim of a previously unobserved companion by positional measurement, and eventually led to the discovery of Sirius B.

Among the first investigations of ferromagnetism are the pioneering works of Aleksandr Stoletov on measurement of the magnetic permeability of ferromagnetics, known as the Stoletov curve.

In 2008 it was suggested that the Pharos was the vertical yardstick used in the first precise measurement of the size of the earth.

Among its results were determinations of the lunar and of the solar parallax ( Mars serving as an intermediary ), the first measurement of a South African arc of the meridian, and the observation of 10, 000 southern stars.

The psychometrician L. L. Thurstone, founder and first president of the Psychometric Society in 1936, developed and applied a theoretical approach to measurement referred to as the law of comparative judgment, an approach that has close connections to the psychophysical theory of Ernst Heinrich Weber and Gustav Fechner.

Slipher first reports on his measurement in the inaugural volume of the Lowell Observatory Bulletin.

The first direct measurement of the distance to a star ( 61 Cygni at 11. 4 light-years ) was made in 1838 by Friedrich Bessel using the parallax technique.

* One time, as the referees were spotting the ball before a measurement to determine if the Chiefs got a first down, Stram yelled to the officials, " You didn't mark it right!

Then they made an exact, or ' strong ', measurement of the first polarization to see whether it had been disturbed by the second measurement.

The results of the first test can be treated as a baseline or control measurement ; all subsequent tests can then be compared to the baseline to indicate improvement.

* The first parallax measurement of the distance to Alpha Centauri is published by Thomas Henderson.

* Friedrich Bessel makes the first accurate measurement of distance to a star.

In practical conditions and measurement, the multipath time is computed by considering as last impulse the first one which allows to receive a determined amount of the total transmitted power ( scaled by the atmospheric and propagation losses ), e. g. 99 %.

When the input is a pure sine wave, the measurement is most commonly the ratio of the sum of the powers of all higher harmonic frequencies to the power at the first harmonic, or fundamental, frequency:
