I would, however, like to suggest that, wrong though I may be, the tendency to see dilemmas rather than solutions is one of which I have been a victim ever since I can remember, and therefore not merely a senile phenomenon.

At Khrushchev's door, therefore, can be placed the primary blame but also at fault are those who permitted themselves to be intimidated.

He feels, therefore, that to seek a discontinuity in the arms policy of the United States is the least risky path our government can take.

U.S. aid, therefore, should increasingly be designed to provide incentives for countries to take the steps that only they themselves can take.

and now, therefore, do I, John A. Notte, Jr., governor of the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, proclaim the week of april 29th to may 7th, 1961, as Rhode Island Heritage Week, advising our citizens that throughout this week many historic houses and beautiful gardens will be open to visitors as well as industrial plants, craft shops, museums and libraries and I earnestly urge all to take advantage of these opportunities to see as many of these places as they can during this outstanding week.

You may therefore convert the gun into a small-game and plinking arm, although the difference in the point of impact ( Jet vs. rim-fire ) can be somewhat disconcerting.

The way a house is set on its lot can therefore influence how much cooling you're going to need.

The fact that there can not be any limit points of the set except in closed intervals follows from the argument used in Lemma 1, namely, that near any tangent point in the C-plane the curves C and Af are analytic, and therefore the difference between them must be a monotone function in some neighborhood on either side of the tangent point.

The quality of the census data can, therefore, be greatly improved by the use of the registration records in conjunction with the field inquiries.

Moreover, the diabetic patient who relies on cure by the quack device and therefore cuts off his insulin intake can be committing suicide.

I speak of `` the largest possible measure '' because any person who supposes that these conditions can be universally and perfectly achieved -- ever -- reckons without the inherent imperfectability of himself and his fellow human beings, and is therefore a dangerous man to have around.

The god who sends a disease can also prevent from it, therefore when it stops they make a purifying ceremony and offer him an " hecatomb " to ward off evil.

The three types of ataxia have overlapping causes, and therefore can either coexist or occur in isolation.

The sum, difference, product and quotient of two algebraic numbers is again algebraic ( this fact can be demonstrated using the resultant ), and the algebraic numbers therefore form a field, sometimes denoted by A ( which may also denote the adele ring ) or < span style =" text-decoration: overline ;"> Q </ span >.

Similarly, a character can find any possible universe, but they can spend character points to know of or inhabit shadows which are ( in some sense ) " real " and therefore useful.

The lowest possible energy an electron can take is therefore analogous to the fundamental frequency of a wave on a string.

In theory it can occur only in nuclei somewhat heavier than nickel ( element 28 ), where overall binding energy per nucleon is no longer a minimum, and the nuclides are therefore unstable toward spontaneous fission-type processes.

Irregular past tense forms, such as " broke " or " was / were ", can be seen as still more specific cases ( since they are confined to certain lexical items, like the verb " break "), which therefore take priority over the general cases listed above.

Each ballot can therefore be viewed as a small " delta " which separates two groups of candidates, or a single-pair of ranks ( e. g. if a ballot indicates that A & C are approved and B & D are not, the ballot can be considered to convey the ranking >).

However, the energy must be imparted over a limited distance ( determined by arm length ) and therefore ( because the projectile is accelerating ) over a limited time, so the limiting factor is not work but rather power, which determined how much energy can be added in the limited time available.

However, they require compromises in borderline cases ; for example, nicotine contains a pyridine fragment from nicotinamide and pyrrolidine part from ornithine and therefore can be assigned to both classes.

Many of these noise sources are narrow bandwidth and therefore can be avoided.

The University can rarely provide all the necessary training in first hand experience that an apprenticeship can, and therefore in addition to graduate level training the profession also tends towards encouraging conservation students to spend time as an intern.
