In their very first collages, Braque and Picasso draw or paint over and on the affixed paper or cloth, so that certain of the principal features of their subjects as depicted seem to thrust out into real, bas-relief space -- or to be about to do so -- while the rest of the subject remains imbedded in, or flat upon, the surface.

At the very first, then, Brumidi was required, by the classically pyramidal shape of his central group, to fill in the triangular space above the seated girl on Liberty's right, before starting on the allegorical figures themselves.

If we thus spent our very first day in the midst of a large number of your people honoring a new hero and a great national achievement, our last day, to us at least, was equally impressive and very moving, even though the crowds were absent and there was almost complete silence.

It is obvious that the careful choice of photocathode which maximizes Af for a given input E ( in the case of the second stage, for the first phosphor screen emission ) is very important.

Two days later, some 30 of them had struck at a convoy off Bougie, sinking a troopship -- and it had been that very night that the Me-210 had made its first appearance.

In their very first speeches it was clear that Shakespeare, like a Nostradamus, had foreseen this moment.

Cable Internet is offered by a couple of cable companies at lower costs than ADSL but the service is very deficient and unreliable.

There are various method employed to " cast on ," such as the " thumb method " ( also known as " slingshot " or " long-tail " cast-ons ), where the stitches are created by a series of loops that will, when knitted, give a very loose edge ideal for " picking up stitches " and knitting a border ; the " double needle method " ( also known as " knit-on " or " cable cast-on "), whereby each loop placed on the needle is then " knitted on ," which produces a firmer edge ideal on its own as a border ; and many more.

PIP with a very low baud rate ( because it had no built-in error correction ) could be used to transfer a small simple version of Kermit from one machine to another over a null modem cable, or failing that, a very very simple version of the Kermit protocol could be hand coded in binary in less than 2K using DDT, the CP / M Dynamic Debugging Tool.

Romania has very high penetration rates for cable television in Europe, with over 79 % of all households watching television through a CATV network in 2007.

Broadcast television is very limited because of the high penetration of cable, only TVR 1, TVR 2, Antena 1 and Pro TV are available as analogue broadcasts.

In this environment, cable TV companies appeared and thrived, providing 15-20 foreign channels for a very low price ( at the time 2 USD or less ), some with Romanian translation, offering high quality news, entertainment and especially movies or cartoons ( one of the ways cable companies advertised was the availability of a cartoon channel, Cartoon Network, appealing to children, which in turn would appeal to their parents ).

By passing several simultaneous connections through an existing copper wire, capacity could be upgraded without the laying of new cable, a process which remained very costly.

The developments that made TAT-1 possible were coaxial cable, polyethylene insulation ( replacing gutta percha ), very reliable vacuum tubes for the submerged repeaters and a general improvement in carrier equipment.

10BASE2 networks cannot generally be extended without breaking service temporarily for existing users and the presence of many joints in the cable also makes them very vulnerable to accidental or malicious disruption.

Underground cables normally have a very low characteristic impedance, resulting in an SIL that is typically in excess of the thermal limit of the cable.

The very first demonstration of loading coils on a telephone cable was on a 46-mile length of the so-called Pittsburgh cable ( the test was actually in Boston, the cable had previously been used for testing in Pittsburgh ) on September 6, 1899 carried out by Campbell himself and his assistant.

Time domain reflectometers are commonly used for in-place testing of very long cable runs, where it is impractical to dig up or remove what may be a kilometers-long cable.

For example, if a signal has to travel through a very long cable out to an antenna, a high output signal may be needed to overcome the losses through the cable and still have sufficient power at the antenna.

The Macau Tower Bungy has a " Guide cable " system that limits swing ( the jump is very close to the structure of the tower itself ) but does not have any effect on the speed of descent, so this still qualifies the jump for the World Record.

The earliest systems used the public switched telephone network ( PSTN ) for the return path since very few cable systems were bi-directional.

" In practice, it was quickly discovered that few existing networks actually met the assumed standards, because 10-megabit Ethernet was very tolerant of minor deviations from specified electrical characteristics and few installers ever bothered to make exact measurements of cable and connection quality ; if Ethernet worked over a cable, it was deemed acceptable.
