Brannon was hunkered down with his broad back to the left rear wheel, with the other two facing him.

The code, which had probably something to do with sex or some other interest, Nicolas was determined to find out and put to use.

Thirty minutes later, the outrigger grated on sand and other girls, waiting on shore, rushed forward to pull it up on the beach and make it fast with vine ropes to a large boulder.

In the other: a wristwatch with broken crystal wrapped in a dirty handkerchief.

In the caves, with other supplies, they had kept cases of sake.

At noontime, remembering what the teacher had said about maybe playing with the kids, Jack stayed close to the schoolhouse while all the other big boys, except Charles, went off out the road to play ball.

With one hand she held her skirt down while she took Jack's extended hand with the other.

Among Bourbons the racial issue may have less to do with their remaining unreconstructed than other factors.

Thus, to cite but one example, the Pax Britannica of the nineteenth century, whether with the British navy ruling the seas or with the City of London ruling world finance, was strictly national in motivation, however much other nations ( e.g., the United States ) may have incidentally benefited.

A system of `` gold '' -- actually yellow -- phones connects him with the offices and action stations of the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the SAC commander and other key men.

Those three other great activities of the Persians, the bath, the teahouse, and the zur khaneh ( the latter a kind of club in which a leader and a group of men in an octagonal pit move through a rite of calisthenics, dance, chanted poetry, and music ), do not take place in buildings to which entrance tickets are sold, but some of them occupy splendid examples of Persian domestic architecture: long, domed, chalk-white rooms with daises of turquoise tile, their end walls cut through to the orchards and the sky by open arches.

As more and more Jewish musicians lost their jobs with professional organizations Steinberg united them into the Frankfurt Kulturbund Orchestra, which also gave guest performances in other German cities.

Strong men with strong opinions, frank to the point of being refreshingly indiscreet, the Founding Seven were essentially congenial minds, and their agreements with each other were more consequential than their differences.

The effects of television and other mass media are erasing regional dialects and localisms with a startling force.

Yet he presents a realm of source material which may well serve other writers if not himself: the problems with which a New South must grapple in groping through a blind adolescence into the maturity of urbanization.

For the family is the simplest example of just such a unit, composed of people, which gives us both some immunity from, and a way of dealing with, other people.

This and other fears of the solar system have disappeared gradually, first, with the Ptolemaic system and its built-in concept of periodicity and then, more firmly, with the Newtonian innovation of an universal force that could account quantitatively for both terrestial and celestial motions.

Two thieves are crucified with Christ, one saved and the other damned.

As Lipton puts it: `` The Eros is felt in the magic circle of marijuana with far greater force, as a unifying principle in human relationships, than at any other time except, perhaps, in the mutual metaphysical orgasms.

In any social system in which communications have an importance comparable with that of production and other human factors, a point like f in Figure 2 would ( other things being equal ) be the dwelling place for the community leader, while e and h would house the next most important citizens.

ETC technology is also compatible with existing projects to reduce the amount of recoil delivered to the vehicle while firing.

Understandably, recoil of a gun firing a projectile at 17 MJ or more will increase directly with the increase in muzzle energy in accordance to Newton's third law of motion and successful implementation of recoil reduction mechanisms will be vital to the installation of an ETC powered gun in an existing vehicle design.

An electron transport chain ( ETC ) couples electron transfer between an electron donor ( such as NADH ) and an electron acceptor ( such as O < sub > 2 </ sub >) with the transfer of H < sup >+</ sup > ions ( protons ) across a membrane.

For a quark of mass m < sub > q </ sub > ≅ 1 GeV, and with Λ < sub > TC </ sub > ≅ 250 GeV, one estimates Λ < sub > ETC </ sub > ≅ 15 TeV.

Such huge ETC mass scales imply tiny quark and lepton masses and ETC contributions to M < sub > πT </ sub > of at most a few GeV, in conflict with LEP searches for π < sub > T </ sub > at the Z < sup > 0 </ sup >.

In 1981 Holdom suggested that, if the α < sub > TC </ sub >( μ ) evolves to a nontrivial fixed point in the ultraviolet, with a large positive anomalous dimension γ < sub > m </ sub > for, realistic quark and lepton masses could arise with Λ < sub > ETC </ sub > large enough to suppress ETC-induced mixing.

ETC was first introduced in Bergen, in 1986, operating together with traditional tollbooths.

The United States is another country with widespread use of ETC in several states, though many U. S. toll roads maintain the option of manual collection.

Congestion pricing or urban toll schemes were implemented to enter the downtown area using ETC technology and / or cameras and video recognition technology to get the plate numbers in several cities around the world: urban tolling in Norway's three major cities: Bergen ( 1986 ), Oslo ( 1990 ), and Trondheim ( 1991 ) ( see Trondheim Toll Scheme ); Singapore in 1998 ( see Singapore ’ s Electronic Road Pricing ), as an upgrade to the world's first successful congestion pricing scheme implemented with manual control in 1975 ( see also Singapore's Area Licensing Scheme ); Rome in 2001 as an upgrade to the manual zone control system implemented in 1998 ; London in 2003 and extended in 2007 ( see London congestion charge ); Stockholm, tested in 2006 and made the charge permanent in 2007 ( see Stockholm congestion tax ); and in Valletta, the capital city of Malta, since May 2007.

Although marketed as included in the retail box, the bonus items are only available to new accounts created with the 60-day ETC.

Badging was restricted to ETC badges on both C-pillars, a Cadillac crest on the grille along with the Cadillac script logo and a special " Cadillac Motor Car Company " badge on the trunk, which it shared with the STS.

Currently, FasTrak transponders are not compatible with E-ZPass and other ETC systems used in other states.

She was educated at the North London Collegiate School and Somerville College, Oxford, where she read English, performed with the Oxford University Dramatic Society ( OUDS ), became Secretary of The Experimental Theatre Club ( ETC ) and joined the Oxford Theatre Group, performing in Oxford and Edinburgh.

Known as RAFI ( Rural Advancement Foundation International ) until 1 September 2001, the ETC Group traces its history back to the National Sharecroppers Fund that was established in the 1930s by Eleanor Roosevelt ( amongst others ) to alleviate the plight of poor, mostly black tenant farmers in the U. S. In the early 1970s, Pat Mooney, Hope Shand, and Cary Fowler began working on the Seeds Issue through the Rural Advancement Foundation — and, in time, set up an international arm concerned with the rights of farmers in the global south.

By 2000, there was some confusion with the original Rural Advancement Foundation ( now called RAFI-USA ), so RAFI changed its name to ETC Group to reflect its wider scope of concern.

In an effort to inform opinion about synthetic biology, the ETC Group has released several comic-style illustrations regarding " Synthia ", the cell with the first synthetic genome created by Craig Venter and the J. Craig Venter Institute.

In a news conference meant to address the concerns surrounding synthetic biology at the local, national, and international level, five panelists including Jim Thomas of ETC Group, spoke on the risks associated with synthetic biology.

An ETC Expression 3 Lighting Console is at the head of the system with an array of lighting fixtures by manufacturers such as Colortran, Altman, Rainbow, Clay & Paky and ETC Source Fours, High End.

The demand for teaching sets continues unabated since they provide the means for the military physicians to review the pathology of selected disease processes or organ systems for review of basic sciences and correlation of clinical physiological behavior with structural changes.

This aircraft, which was planned for initial operational use about 1965, would be complementary to but likewise competitive with the four strategic ballistic missile systems, all of which are scheduled to become available earlier.

Research and development expenditures connected with the reconnaissance satellite SAMOS and the future development of ballistic missile defense systems such as Nike-Zeus are expected to increase substantially.

Commonly used electronic devices which are found in practically every hospital are closed-circuit TV and audio systems for internal paging and instruction, along with radiation counters, timers, and similar devices.

The mechanism of this coupling has been studied in some detail with non-enzymatic systems in vitro and can be simulated by certain di-iodotyrosine analogues ( Pitt-Rivers and James, 1958 ).

Its synthesis has not been demonstrated in cell-free systems, nor has its synthesis by systems with intact thyroid cells in vitro been unequivocally proven.

We stressed the reciprocal relation of these systems with respect to the autonomic-somatic downward discharge as well as regarding the hypothalamic-cortical discharge.

It is obvious enough that linguists in general have been less successful in coping with tone systems than with consonants or vowels.

Even beginning students in linguistics are made familiar with an appreciable variety of consonant systems, both in their general outlines and in many specific details.

Such mine defense systems could permit concentration of mobile forces in the open oceans with consequent increase in the probability of success.

In an over-all ASW concept, dependence on and effort expended for such systems should be limited to those with proven capabilities.

Recent work with radiocarbon and deuterated alcohols as solvents, however, has given evidence that metal-hydrido and carbonyl complexes may be readily formed by reaction with alcohol in some of these systems.

Volume 1, deals with 2991 compounds belonging to the tetragonal, hexagonal and trigonal, and orthorhombic systems ; ;

A pronounced ideological diffusion -- i.e., inability to identify independently with given ideas and value systems -- is reflected in many ways.

At each angle of its pitch a big skylight had been fitted into the roof and all these skylights were fitted with systems of multiple screens and shades.

Both these types, and those in between, are in existence by reason of a legislative interest in libraries that began at Albany as early as 1950, with the creation by the legislature of county library systems financed by county governments with matching funds from the state.

Under Lincoln's leadership, the Union set up a naval blockade that shut down the South's normal trade, took control of the border slave states at the start of the war, gained control of communications with gunboats on the southern river systems, and tried repeatedly to capture the Confederate capital at Richmond, Virginia.

Metamorphosis is gradual but by the age of about ten months they have developed a pointed head with sensory tentacles near the mouth and lost their eyes, lateral line systems and tails.

In some systems, an appellate court will only consider the written decision of the lower court, together with any written evidence that was before that court and is relevant to the appeal.

An example would be the systems being put in place for senior people such as fall detectors, thermometers ( for hypothermia risk ), flooding and unlit gas sensors ( for people with mild dementia ).

Modern use of AAC began in the 1950s with systems for users who had lost the use of speech following surgical procedures.
