But there's one thing I never seen or heard of, one thing I just don't think there is, and that's a sportin' way o' killin' a man ''!!

I seized the rack and made a western-style flying-mount just in time, one of my knees mercifully landing on my duffel bag -- and merely wrecking my camera, I was to discover later -- my other knee landing on the slivery truck floor boards and -- but this is no medical report.

The true artist is like one of those scientists who, from a single bone can reconstruct an animal's entire body.

In fact, one important aspect of their very religion is the annihilation of men ''.

It took thirty of our women almost six moons to build this one, which is higher and stronger than the old one.

I clapped the big man with the bleached hair on his shoulder and said heartily, hoping it would make an impression on the women: `` This one is the maku Frayne.

`` This one is a tender chicken, oui??

but he presents it publicly so enmeshed in hypocrisy that it is not an honest one.

My definition of this much abused adjective is that a reconstructed rebel is one who is glad that the North won the War.

For one thing, this is not a subject often discussed or analyzed.

The general acceptance of the idea of governmental ( i.e., societal ) responsibility for the economic well-being of the American people is surely one of the two most significant watersheds in American constitutional history.

A third, one of at least equal and perhaps even greater importance, is now being traversed: American immersion and involvement in world affairs.

Today, as new nations rise from the former colonial empires, nationalism is one of the hurricane forces loose in the world.

Historically, however, the concept is one that has been of marked benefit to the people of the Western civilizational group.

It is one of the ironic quirks of history that the viability and usefulness of nationalism and the territorial state are rapidly dissipating at precisely the time that the nation-state attained its highest number ( approximately 100 ).

But it is more than irony: one of the main reasons why nationalism is no longer a tenable concept is because it has spread throughout the planet.

Accidental war is so sensitive a subject that most of the people who could become directly involved in one are told just enough so they can perform their portions of incredibly complex tasks.

Only one rule prevailed in my conversations with these men: The more highly placed they are -- that is, the more they know -- the more concerned they have become.

However, the system is designed, ingeniously and hopefully, so that no one man could initiate a thermonuclear war.

Even the knowledge that she was losing another boy, as a mother always does when a marriage is made, did not prevent her from having the first carefree, dreamless sleep that she had known since they dropped down the canyon and into Bear Valley, way, way back there when they were crossing those other mountains.

And that is the way I first saw her when my Uncle brought her into his antique store.

Why, in the first place, call himself a liberal if he is against laissez-faire and favors an authoritarian central government with womb-to-tomb controls over everybody??

Life is further characterized, in antithesis to Piepsam, as animal: the image of a dog, which appears at several places, is first given as the criterion of amiable, irrelevant interest aroused by life considered simply as a spectacle: a dog in a wagon is `` admirable '', `` a pleasure to contemplate '' ; ;

In the first instance, `` mimesis '' is here used to mean the recalling of experience in terms of vivid images rather than in terms of abstract ideas or conventional designations.

This is the primary function of the imagination operating in the absence of the original experiential stimulus by which the images were first appropriated.

The first half of The Charles Men, ending on the climax of the battle of Poltava in 1709, is more dramatically coherent than the second.

He is, first and foremost, a defender of public morals, a servant of society.

The first of two possible variations on this theme is symbolized by Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer.

Noting such evidence is the first step ; ;

So it is that we relive his opening statement in the first television address with the dramatic immediacy of the present.

and it is surely clear that the first of these is the result of the way in which the individual's command of language interacts with the other two.

The first thing to do is get her some money by a temporary but definite adjustment pending a final disposition of the case.

When I take over Taliesin, the first thing I'll do is fire you ''.

If `` Jack the Courtier '' is really to be taken as Swift, the following remark is obviously Steele's comment on Swift's change of parties and its effect on their friendship: `` I assure you, dear Jack, when I first found out such an Allay in you, as makes you of so malleable a Constitution, that you may be worked into any Form an Artificer pleases, I foresaw I should not enjoy your Favour much longer ''.

At this point a working definition of idea is in order, although our first definition will have to be qualified somewhat as we proceed.

`` History has this in common with every other science: that the historian is not allowed to claim any single piece of knowledge, except where he can justify his claim by exhibiting to himself in the first place, and secondly to any one else who is both able and willing to follow his demonstration, the grounds upon which it is based.

We saw it frequently afterward, but our suggestion for the very first encounter is near sunset.

Master Gorton, having foully abused high and low at Aquidneck is now bewitching and bemaddening poor Providence, both with his unclean and foul censures of all the ministers of this country ( for which myself have in Christ's name withstood him ), and also denying all visible and external ordinances in depth of Familism: almost all suck in his poison, as at first they did at Aquidneck.

These estimates indicated that the quantum yield for the exchange of chlorine with liquid carbon tetrachloride at 65-degrees is of the order of magnitude of unity.

The standard ampere is most accurately realized using a watt balance, but is in practice maintained via Ohm's Law from the units of electromotive force and resistance, the volt and the ohm, since the latter two can be tied to physical phenomena that are relatively easy to reproduce, the Josephson junction and the quantum Hall effect, respectively.

Each orbital is defined by a different set of quantum numbers ( n, l, and m ), and contains a maximum of two electrons each with their own spin quantum number.

Specifically, in quantum mechanics, the state of an atom, i. e. an eigenstate of the atomic Hamiltonian, is approximated by an expansion ( see configuration interaction expansion and basis set ) into linear combinations of anti-symmetrized products ( Slater determinants ) of one-electron functions.

In quantum mechanics, where all particle momenta are associated with waves, it is the formation of such a wave packet which localizes the wave, and thus the particle, in space.

In states where a quantum mechanical particle is bound, it must be localized as a wave packet, and the existence of the packet and its minimum size implies a spread and minimal value in particle wavelength, and thus also momentum and energy.

In quantum mechanics, as a particle is localized to a smaller region in space, the associated compressed wave packet requires a larger and larger range of momenta, and thus larger kinetic energy.

where X is the energy level corresponding to the principal quantum number n, type is a lower-case letter denoting the shape or subshell of the orbital and it corresponds to the angular quantum number l, and y is the number of electrons in that orbital.

In X-ray notation, the principal quantum number is given a letter associated with it.

A given ( hydrogen-like ) atomic orbital is identified by unique values of three quantum numbers: n, l, and m < sub > l </ sub >.

The principal quantum number, n, describes the energy of the electron and is always a positive integer.

The azimuthal quantum number,, describes the orbital angular momentum of each electron and is a non-negative integer.

The magnetic quantum number,, describes the magnetic moment of an electron in an arbitrary direction, and is also always an integer.

Alpha decay, like other cluster decays, is fundamentally a quantum tunneling process.

Classically, it is forbidden to escape, but according to the ( then ) newly-discovered principles of quantum mechanics, it has a tiny ( but non-zero ) probability of " tunneling " through the barrier and appearing on the other side to escape the nucleus.

In particle physics, antimatter is material composed of antiparticles, which have the same mass as particles of ordinary matter but have opposite charge and quantum spin.

A unified interpretation of antiparticles is now available in quantum field theory, which solves both these problems.

This is an example of renormalization in quantum field theory — the field theory being necessary because the number of particles changes from one to two and back again.
