Several foundlings appear in Terry Pratchett's Discworld: most notably Captain Carrot Ironfoundersson ( found as a toddler among the ruins of a caravan party attacked by bandits, surrounded by the bodies of the adults ; Carrot was adopted and raised by the dwarfs who discovered him, and was surprised to learn at age 16-and 6ft 6in tall-that he was not a dwarf ; mounting evidence suggests that Carrot is the scion of the deposed Ankh-Morpork royal family, but he himself has suppressed this as much as possible, considering the role of police captain to be a preferable one in which to safeguard his city and keep order ), also Tomjohn ( rightful heir to the throne of Lancre, rescued from his father's killer by loyal servants, entrusted to the local witches and given to travelling actors to raise ; Tomjohn eventually returns to the kingdom, but does not wish to rule it, preferring to remain an actor ) and Keith ( The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents-ironically, Malicia, obsessed with fairytales, is certain that this makes him likely to be a prince, but Keith explains that it is common in the city to abandon babies outside the Guilds where they are likely to receive care and training in a trade ).

The first four puppets she meets correspond closely to those in the film and are a youth named Carrot Top ; a fox, Reynardo ; a vain girl, Gigi ; and a " huge, tousle-headed, hideous, yet pathetic-looking giant " Alifanfaron.

In cartoons with non-Western themes, he uses various aliases, including " Chilkoot Sam " ( named for the Chilkoot Trail ; Sam pronounces it " Chilli-koot ") in 14 Carrot Rabbit ( although in the same cartoon, when he tries to gain Bugs Bunny's trust, he cleverly invents alias " Square-deal Sam "), " Riff Raff Sam " in Sahara Hare, " Sam Schulz " in Big House Bunny, " Seagoin ' Sam " in Buccaneer Bunny, " Shanghai Sam " in Mutiny on the Bunny, and " Sam Von Schamm the Hessian " in Bunker Hill Bunny and many others.

Carrot Top has also been frequently parodied ; examples include Mr. Show ( in which David Cross appears as " Blueberry Head "), King of the Hill (" Celery Head "), Family Guy (" Carrot Scalp ;" he also made a guest appearance on the show as himself in " Petergeist "), South Park (" Carrot Ass "), MADtv, Phineas and Ferb (" Broccoli Top "), " The Suite Life on Deck " (" Parsnip Top "), and " Scrubs ".

The arrival of Carrot changes this ; Carrot has memorised the Laws and Ordinances of the Cities of Ankh and Morpork, and on his first day tries to arrest the head of the Thieves ' Guild for theft ( the Thieves ' Guild is permitted a quota of legally licensed thieving, a concept that the book of ancient Laws does not take into account ).

They are small, matted and dirty enough to sprout fungi and grasses on their hides ( and seem to relate to soil as trolls relate to rock ), and act as street-cleaners in cities like Ankh-Morpork ; as Captain Carrot Ironfoundersson puts it, they " pick up this, pick up that, maybe bang it against the wall until it stops struggling ..." In the case of at least Stoolie, if not every gnoll on the Discworld, there seems to be a tendency to drop the vowels in words, reflecting a croaking sort of voice.

( it's worth noting that a maid-cafe named " Pia Carrot " also opened in real life ; it is a cosplay restaurant in Akihabara, Japan ).

ATLAS-1 instruments were: Atmospheric Trace Molecule Spectroscopy ( ATMOS ); Grille Spectrometer ; Millimeter Wave Atmospheric Sounder ( MAS ); Imaging Spectrometric Observatory ( ISO ); Atmospheric Lyman-Alpha Emissions ( ALAE ); Atmospheric Emissions Photometric Imager ( AEPI ); Space Experiments with Particle Accelerators ( SEPAC ); Active Cavity Radiometer ( ACR ); Measurement of Solar Constant ( SOLCON ); Solar Spectrum ( SOLSPEC ); Solar Ultraviolet Spectral Irradiance Monitor ( SUSIM ); and Far Ultraviolet Space Telescope ( FAUST ).

ATLAS-3 instruments, mounted on a Spacelab pallet in the cargo bay, included Atmospheric Trace Molecule Spectroscopy ( ATMOS ), which collected more data on trace gases in the atmosphere than on all three of its previous flights combined ; Shuttle Solar Backscatter Ultraviolet Spectrometer ( SSBUV ), which took ozone measurements to calibrate ozone monitor on aging NOAA-9 satellite as well as cooperative measurements with other ATLAS-3 instruments ; Active Cavity Radiometer Irradiance Monitor ( ACRIM ), which took extremely precise measurements of the sun's total radiation for 30 orbits as calibration reference for sister instrument on Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite ( UARS ) launched in 1991 ; Measurement of the Solar Constant ( SOLCON ), provided by Belgium, which also measured solar radiation but as reference point to track changes over years ; Solar Spectrum Measurement ( SOLSPEC ), French instrument, measured sun's radiation as function of wavelength ; and Solar Ultraviolet Spectral Irradiance Monitor ( SUSIM ), which collected its highest precision solar ultraviolet radiation measurements in its 15-year lifetime.

Not by the 11:00 sun which had spread a warmth around his spot of grass in the English Gardens and sent him off to sleep ; ;

Putting on local musicians at this place in the program serves a triple purpose: it saves the top flight jazz men from being wasted in this unenviable spot, when the audience is cold, restless, and in flux ; ;

Following transposition and docking, the crew noticed the exterior surface of the Lunar Module was giving off particles from a spot where the LM's skin appeared torn or shredded ; at one point, Charlie Duke estimated they were seeing about five to ten particles per second.

Height above sea level: there is a spot height outside the Market Hall which is 133. 5m ; the bench mark on the side of the neighbouring Town Hall is 441. 10 feet.

This can be used to improve the shuttle's trajectory, by making it dip more rapidly as it passes the net ; for example, a sliced low serve can travel slightly faster than a normal low serve, yet land on the same spot.

Captain Kidd did bury a small cache of treasure on Gardiners Island in a spot known as Cherry Tree Field ; however, it was removed by Governor Bellomont and sent to England to be used as evidence against him.

He had a solo spot on the Opry ; but when that was cut, Atkins moved on to KWTO-AM in Springfield, Missouri.

The four pillars set up by Cão on his two voyages have all been discovered in situ, and the inscriptions on two of them from Cape Santa Maria and Cape Cross, dated 1482 and 1485 respectively, are still to be read and have been printed ; the Cape Cross padrão is now at Kiel ( replaced on the spot by a granite facsimile ); those from the Congo estuary and the more southerly Monte Negro are in the Museum of the Lisbon Geographical Society.

A destroyer is always more uncomfortable than the others, and rain, snow, and sea-water combine to make them damp ; in fact, in bad weather there is not a dry spot where one can rest for a moment.

This small difference in the Sun's position against the stars causes any particular spot on the Earth's surface to catch up with ( and stand directly north or south of ) the Sun about 4 minutes later each day than it would if the Earth did not orbit ; our day is 24 hours long rather than the approximately 23 hour 56 minute sidereal day.

Note also that until well into the 20th Century, rather than an official readying the ball for scrimmage, the side entitled to the snap had complete custody of the ball and could snap it from the required spot at any time ; for instance, a tackled ball carrier might feign injury, then suddenly snap the ball while recumbent, there being no stance requirement yet.

" At this time there was one Odin, who was credited over all Europe with the honour, which was false, of godhead, but used more continually to sojourn at Upsala ; and in this spot, either from the sloth of the inhabitants or from its own pleasantness, he vouchsafed to dwell with somewhat especial constancy.

Juvenile birds had less prominent grooves in their beaks and had mottled white and black necks, while the eye spot found in adults was not present ; instead, a gray line ran through the eyes ( which still had the white eye ring ) to just below the ears.

An improvisational comedy troupe performing a shortform game based on direction from the audience ; in this case spoofing a hard rock band performing a song made up on the spot.

In 1974, he returned to the # 1 spot on the R & B charts with " The Payback ", with the parent album reaching the same spot on the album charts ; he would reach # 1 two more times in 1974 including " My Thang " and " Papa Don't Take No Mess ".

Most versions of Principia Discordia actually spell it as καλλιχτι, but this is definitely incorrect ; in the afterword of the 1979 Loompanics edition of Principia, Gregory Hill says that was because on the IBM typewriter he used, not all Greek letters coincided with Latin ones, and he didn't know enough of the letters to spot the mistake.

On the spot where the plane crashed, a memorial dedicated to the victims stands surrounded by a wire fence with wooden posts ; it was maintained for many years by James Easter Heathman, who, at age thirteen in 1931, was one of the first people to arrive at the site of the tragedy.

His monument is a boulder selected from the moraine of the glacier of the Aar near the site of the old Hôtel des Neuchâtelois, not far from the spot where his hut once stood ; and the pine-trees that shelter his grave were sent from his old home in Switzerland.

Parabolic reflectors resolve this, allowing incoming parallel rays ( for example, light from a distant star ) to be focused to a small spot ; almost an ideal point.

( Traditionally, it would be argued that if a word-initial aspirated were interchanged with the unaspirated in spot, native speakers of English would still hear the same words ; that is, the two sounds are perceived as " the same ".

The white spot at s = 1 is the pole of the zeta function ; the black spots on the negative real axis and on the critical line Re ( s ) = 1 / 2 are its zeros.

All four hijackers were shot ; three of them died on the spot.

Apollo ( Attic, Ionic, and Homeric Greek:, Apollōn ( gen .: ); Doric:, Apellōn ; Arcadocypriot:, Apeilōn ; Aeolic:, Aploun ; ) is one of the most important and complex of the Olympian deities in ancient Greek and Roman religion, Greek and Roman mythology, and Greco – Roman Neopaganism.

Little work has been done on the Munda languages, which are not well documented ; with their demotion from a primary branch, Proto-Mon – Khmer becomes synonymous with Proto-Austro-Asiatic.

To the east, the boundaries of the ocean proper are Europe ; the Strait of Gibraltar ( where it connects with the Mediterranean Sea – one of its marginal seas – and, in turn, the Black Sea, both of which also touch upon Asia ) and Africa.

On average, the Atlantic is the saltiest major ocean ; surface water salinity in the open ocean ranges from 33 to 37 parts per thousand ( 3. 3 – 3. 7 %) by mass and varies with latitude and season.

Narayanan – AIR India Reporter 1988 Court Page No. 1381 ; 1988 Volume No. 3 SCC Court Cases Page No. 366 ; 1988 PLJR 78 – Although an affidavit may be taken as proof of the facts stated therein, the Courts have no jurisdiction to admit evidence by way of affidavit.

It is possible to prove many theorems using neither the axiom of choice nor its negation ; such statements will be true in any model of Zermelo – Fraenkel set theory ( ZF ), regardless of the truth or falsity of the axiom of choice in that particular model.

A possible etymology is a derivation from the Greek word – aiges = " waves " ( Hesychius of Alexandria ; metaphorical use of ( aix ) " goat "), hence " wavy sea ", cf.
