Likewise, and equally fascinating, is the news that such unlikely synonyms as `` pratakku '', `` sweathruna '', and the tongue-twister `` nnuolapertar-it-vuh-karti-birifw- '' all originated in the same village in Bathar-on-Walli Province and are all used to express sentiments concerning British `` imperialism ''.

If such an unlikely transaction were to take place, it would more logically be accomplished by a stock purchase, followed by the prosecution of the claim by the wholly-owned subsidiary, followed by liquidation.

Many defoliated forest areas were quickly invaded by aggressive pioneer species, such as bamboo and cogon grass, which make it unlikely the forests will be able to regenerate.

Thus, as with other proposed megafauna cryptids, climate and food supply issues would make such a creature's survival in reported habitats unlikely.

In general, scientists reject such claims because of the improbably large numbers necessary to maintain a breeding population and because climate and food supply issues would make such purported creatures ' survival in reported habitats unlikely.

He also stressed that attention should be given to local, urban and folkloric sources regarding such creatures, arguing that while often layered in unlikely and fantastic elements, folktales can have small grains of truth and important information regarding undiscovered organisms.

However, such factories are unlikely to achieve " full closure " until the cost and flexibility of automated machinery comes close to that of human labour and the manufacture of spare parts and other components locally becomes more economical than transporting them from elsewhere.

Since these geographic considerations imply that, not including the hill within, the walls would be willfully making the city prone to attack from it, some scholars, including the late 19th century surveyors of the Palestine Exploration Fund, consider it unlikely that a wall would ever have been built that would cut the hill off from the city in the valley ; archaeological evidence for the existence of an earlier city wall in such a location has never been found.

It is unlikely that the very fair and loyal archbishop would do such a thing behind the king's back.

Moreover, it is unlikely that the pope would send such a banner, given the fact that they already had one, namely the banner of the Knights Hospitaller ( Danish: " Johanitterne ").

The value may not be expected in the ordinary sense — the " expected value " itself may be unlikely or even impossible ( such as having 2. 5 children ), just like the sample mean.

Although this is possible, such an event has a small probability of occurring, making it unlikely.

Defenders of the view do not think it unlikely an issue of such magnitude would need to be discussed more than once.

While people expected elements with higher atomic number to form from neutron bombardment of lighter elements, nobody expected neutrons to have enough energy to actually split a heavier atom into two light element fragments, and it was thought still more unlikely that slow neutrons could accomplish such a task.

Duane Warden believes that Domitian ’ s unpopularity even among Romans renders it highly unlikely that his actions would have great influence in the provinces, especially those under the direct supervision of the senate such as Asia ( one of the provinces 1 Peter is addressed to ).

A minority of students – such as David Sox – are, however, suspicious of the apparent ' Turkish ' features of the Italian manuscript ; especially the Arabic annotations, which they adjudge to be so riddled with elementary errors as to be most unlikely to have been written in Istanbul ( even by an Italian scribe ).

For many reasons scholars today believe otherwise — for example, the gospel is based on Mark, and " it seems unlikely that an eyewitness of Jesus's ministry, such as Matthew, would need to rely on others for information about it "— and believe instead that it was written between about 80 – 90 AD by a highly educated Jew ( an " Israelite ", in the language of the gospel itself ), intimately familiar with the technical aspects of Jewish law, standing on the boundary between traditional and non-traditional Jewish values.

Greater freedom for Roman Catholics to worship as they chose seemed unlikely in 1604, but the discovery of such a wide-ranging conspiracy, the capture of those involved, and the subsequent trials, led Parliament to consider introducing new anti-Catholic legislation.

Other works, such as the corpus of Homeric Hymns, the comic mini-epic Batrachomyomachia (" The Frog-Mouse War "), and the Margites were also attributed to him, but this is now believed to be unlikely.

In the Request for Further Information procedure, use of standard pre-printed forms is not common, and any such request would almost certainly be looked upon critically by the courts, as use of standard forms rather than requests tailored specifically to the case is likely to offend against the ' Overriding Objective ' in that it is unlikely to be proportionate to the case, and instead result in the parties or their lawyers having to spend time, money and resources in answering the questions.

Because most such alleles are rare in populations, it is unlikely that two unrelated marriage partners will both be heterozygous carriers.

ICAO's environmental committee continues to consider the potential for using market-based measures such as trading and charging, but this work is unlikely to lead to global action.

Political and environmental considerations make it unlikely such an engine will be used in the foreseeable future, since nuclear thermal rockets would be most useful at or near the Earth's surface and the consequences of a malfunction could be disastrous.

It is unlikely that the term " democracy " was coined by its detractors who rejected the possibility of a valid " demarchy ", as the word " demarchy " already existed and had the meaning of mayor or municipal.

It is unlikely that " French fried " refers to " frenching " in the sense of " julienning ", which is not attested until after " French fried potatoes "; previously, Frenching referred only to trimming the meat off the shanks of chops.

Harold Jenkins criticised the idea of any direct personal satire as " unlikely " and " uncharacteristic of Shakespeare ", while G. R. Hibbard hypothesized that differences in names ( Corambis / Polonius: Montano / Raynoldo ) between the First Quarto and other editions might reflect a desire not to offend scholars at Oxford University.

The dissenters, who included Rabbi Joel Roth as well as a partial concurrence by Rabbi Daniel Nevins, argued for reaffirming the classical halakhic framework in which human decrees inform and often limit but never wholly abrogate law believed to be of Divine origin, stating that " we should acknowledge that God's law is beyond our authority to eliminate ", but should continue the traditional approach of applying strict evidentiary rules and presumptions that tend to render enforcement unlikely.

( Köstenberger pages 104-105 ) Köstenberger concurs with John Meier that it is highly unlikely for the passage to be a Christian interpolation given that in New Testament texts James is referred to as the " brother of the Lord " rather than the " brother of Jesus ", and that a Christian interpolator would have provided a more detailed account at that point.

It was a rare book, unlikely to be at a " lonely farmhouse ", nor would an individual carry it on a journey ; the folio was heavy and almost 1000 pages in size.

In a poem he wrote of men joining the army like " bridegrooms going to meet their brides ", but his biographer points out that it is unlikely that other men shared his joy.

Early pies were much larger than those consumed today, and oblong shaped ; the jurist John Selden presumed that " the coffin of our Christmas-Pies, in shape long, is in Imitation of the Cratch crib ", although writer T. F. Thistleton-Dyer thought Selden's explanation unlikely, as " in old English cookery books the crust of a pie is generally called ' the coffin.

Michael Kaminski argues in his book that it is unlikely that the plot point had ever seriously been considered or even conceived of before 1978, and that the first film was clearly operating under an alternate storyline where Vader was a separate character from Luke's father ; there is not a single reference to this plot point before 1978 ( further reinforcing this is Obi-Wan Kenobi calling Vader " Darth ", as if it is his true name rather than his new Sith name ).

The name was used in the King James Version of the Bible for the Hebrew word " elah ", a word that more modern translations translate as " terebinth " or " oak – this seems to be the chief source of Web references to the name, but the linden tree does not grow in the middle east where the Bible verses were describing, so it seems unlikely that the KJV translation was correct.

She compares Wulfstan's mention of a " chooser of the slain " in his Sermo Lupi ad Anglos sermon, which appears among " a blacklist of sinners, witches, and evildoers ", to " all the other classes whom he mentions ", and concludes as those " are human ones, it seems unlikely that he has introduced mythological figures as well.
