The work contexts in which African-Americans sang songs comparable to shanties included: boat-rowing on rivers of the south-eastern U. S. and Caribbean ; the work of stokers or “ firemen ,” who cast wood into the furnaces of steamboats plying great American rivers ; and stevedoring on the U. S. eastern seaboard, the Gulf Coast, and the Caribbean — including " cotton-screwing ": the loading of ships with cotton in ports of the American South.

*" Rinkagate ": Liberal Party leader Jeremy Thorpe was arrested and tried for allegedly paying a hitman to murder his homosexual lover, model Norman Scott, while walking his dog on Exmoor ; the hitman only shot the dog, Rinka.

Bliss found especially useful their " triangle of reference ": the physical thing or " referent " that we perceive would be represented at the right angle ; the meaning that we know by experience ( our implicit definition of the thing ), at the top angle ; and the physical word that we speak or write, at the left angle.

It has been suggested that this position can be lucidly brought out through the metaphor of " direction of fit ": beliefs — the paradigmatic products of reason — are propositional attitudes that aim to have their content fit the world ; conversely, desires — or what Hume calls passions, or sentiments — are states that aim to fit the world to their contents.

The exact meaning of his name is uncertain: the common translation is " Lord of the Earth ": the Sumerian en is translated as a title equivalent to " lord "; it was originally a title given to the High Priest ; ki means " earth "; but there are theories that ki in this name has another origin, possibly kig of unknown meaning, or kur meaning " mound ".

There are a few words with both masculine and feminine forms, generally words for relatives ( cousin: lehengusu ( m )/ lehengusina ( f )) or words borrowed from Latin (" king ": errege, from the Latin word regem ; " queen ": erregina, from reginam ).

In names for familiar relatives, where both genders are taken into account, either the words for each gender are put together (" son ": seme ; " daughter ": alaba ; " children "( meaning son ( s ) and daughter ( s )): seme-alaba ( k )) or there is a noun that includes both: " father ": aita ; " mother ": ama ; " father " ( both genders ): guraso.

The first and second stages of the Saturn V rocket performed nominally ; the spacecraft, along with the mission's three crew members aboard, successfully entered orbit around Earth just under twelve minutes after lift-off.

* ramjet assisted, similar to rocket assisted but using a ramjet instead of a rocket motor ; it is anticipated that a ramjet-assisted 120-mm mortar shell could reach a range of.

The Atlas A first flew on 11 June 1957 ; the flight lasted only about 24 seconds before the rocket blew up.

Even the simplest designs avoid the vicious circle of rocket launches from the surface, the difficulty that: the fuel needed to travel the last 10 % of the distance to orbit must be lifted all the way from the surface ; that requires extra fuel ; most of the extra fuel must be lifted most of the way before it is burned ; that requires more extra fuel ; and so on.

Soviet rocket engineers had long intended a canine orbit before attempting human spaceflight ; since 1951, they had lofted 12 dogs into sub-orbital space on ballistic flights, working gradually toward an orbital mission possibly some time in 1958.

The IISS listed equipment in 2007 as including 35 T-54 / 55 main battle tanks, 70 reconnaissance vehicles ( 20 Panhard AML-60, 40 Panhard AML-90, 10 Alvis Saladin ) 25 wheeled APCs ( estimate 20 Panhard M3 and 5 Alvis Saracen ), 194 artillery pieces ( 80 towed: 36 HM-2 / M-101, 20 D-30, 24 D-74 ; 114 mortars ( 60 60-mm, 30 Brandt 120-mm ), 24 MILAN ATGM, 114 recoilless rocket launchers ( est.

Uses of oxygen include the production of steel, plastics and textiles ; rocket propellant ; oxygen therapy ; and life support in aircraft, submarines, spaceflight and diving.

Continuity with prior games in the Quake series and even Doom is maintained by the inclusion of player models related to those earlier games as well as biographical information included on characters in the manual, a familiar mixture of gothic and technological map architecture and specific equipment ; for example, the Quad Damage power-up, the infamous rocket launcher and the BFG super-weapon.

Because of the low availability relative to demand, rhenium is among the most expensive of metals, with an average price of approximately US $ 4, 575 per kilogram ( US $ 142. 30 per troy ounce ) as of August 2011 ; it is also of critical strategic military importance, for its use in high performance military jet and rocket engines.

The HE warhead detonates on impact or when the fuse runs out ; usually the fuse is set to the maximum burn of the rocket motor but it can be shortened for improvised anti aircraft purposes.

The high accelerations that rockets naturally possess means that rocket vehicles are often capable of vertical takeoff ; this can be done provided the vehicles engines provide more than the local gravitational acceleration away from the Earth or gravity source.

The energy density of a typical rocket propellant is often around one-third that of conventional hydrocarbon fuels ; the bulk of the mass is ( often relatively inexpensive ) oxidizer.

Thus a rocket would need about 6x more energy ; and allowing for the specific energy of rocket propellant being around one third that of conventional air fuel, roughly 18x more mass of propellant would need to be carried for the same journey.

It means that the amount of delta-v to reach other planets, over and above that to reach escape velocity can be much less if the delta-v is applied when the rocket is travelling at high speeds, close to the Earth or other planetary surface ; whereas waiting until the rocket has slowed at altitude multiplies up the effort required to achieve the desired trajectory.

The SSN tracks objects that are 10 centimeters in diameter or larger ; those now orbiting Earth range from satellites weighing several tons to pieces of spent rocket bodies weighing only 10 pounds.

A few days ago, she would have thought such an expedition as this utterly ridiculous ; ;

He said Pike had stolen mules from Harris during the Santa Fe expedition ; ;

Albert was a loyal vassal of his relation, Lothar I, Duke of Saxony, from whom, about 1123, he received the Margraviate of Lusatia, to the east ; after Lothar became King of the Germans, he accompanied him on a disastrous expedition to Bohemia in 1126, when he suffered a short imprisonment.

These troops, returning home from a disastrous military expedition to Cyrene in Libya, suspected that they had been betrayed in order that Apries, the reigning king, might rule more absolutely by means of his Greek mercenaries ; many Egyptians fully sympathized with them.

It was at Anah that the emperor Julian met the first opposition on his disastrous expedition against Persia ( 363 ), when he got possession of the place and transported the people ; and there that Ziyad and Shureih with the advanced guard of Ali's army were refused passage across the Euphrates ( 36 / 657 ) to join Ali in Mesopotamia ( Tabari i. 3261 ).

The destination of the expedition was kept top secret ; most of the army's officers did not know of its target, and Bonaparte himself did not publicly reveal his goal until the first stage of the expedition was complete.

Darius then began raising a huge new army with which he meant to completely subjugate Greece ; however, in 486 BC, his Egyptian subjects revolted, indefinitely postponing any Greek expedition.

López's fourth expedition landed in Pinar del Río province with around 400 men in August 1851 ; the invaders were defeated by Spanish troops and López was executed.

However, they soon began to loot the holy places of Lhasa, which brought a swift response from Emperor Kangxi in 1718 ; but his military expedition was annihilated by the Dzungars, not far from Lhasa.

He would have been quite young when Emperor Yūryaku shot the arrow which killed his father during a hunting expedition ; and this caused both Prince Oke and his older brother, Prince Ōka, to flee for their lives.

It is not unusual that no written record of their expedition survives ; voyages of discovery in those days were often national or commercial secrets, and unless a journal survived, they are completely unknown today.

The accomplished and politically well-connected naturalist Archibald Menzies complained that his servant had been pressed into service during a shipboard emergency ; sailing master Joseph Whidbey had a competing claim for pay as expedition astronomer ; and Thomas Pitt, 2nd Baron Camelford, whom Vancouver had disciplined for numerous infractions and eventually sent home in disgrace, proceeded to harass him publicly and privately.

Accounts by scholars vary, but they agree that the attack completely destroyed the village structures ; Sides reports the expedition killed women and children as well as warriors.

Larissa was indeed the birthplace of Meno, who thus became, along with Xenophon and a few others, one of the generals leading several thousands Greeks from various places, in the ill-fated expedition of 401 ( retold in Xenophon's Anabasis ) meant to help Cyrus the Younger, son of Darius II, king of Persia, overthrow his elder brother Artaxerxes II and take over the throne of Persia ( Meno is featured in Plato's dialogue bearing his name, in which Socrates uses the example of " the way to Larissa " to help explain Meno the difference between true opinion and science ( Meno, 97a – c ) ; this " way to Larissa " might well be on the part of Socrates an attempt to call to Meno's mind a " way home ", understood as the way toward one's true and " eternal " home reached only at death, that each man is supposed to seek in his life ).

Conrad II's army arrived to Lusatia in the autumn of 1029 and began the siege of Bautzen ; but the German troops did not receive the promised support of the Lutici tribe and the expedition failed.

There is little hint of native hostility ; the Celts and the Germans appear to have helped him, which suggests that the expedition was put forward as purely scientific.

Silas Talbot engineered an expedition to Puerto Plata harbor in the Colony of Santo Domingo, a possession of France's ally Spain, on May 11, 1800 ; sailors and marines from the USS Constitution under Lieutenant Isaac Hull captured the French privateer Sandwich in the harbor and spiked the guns in the Spanish fort.

The expedition had both scientific and exploration objectives ; the latter included a long journey south, in the direction of the South Pole.

After sailing another two days across open sea, the expedition finds a headland with an island just offshore ; nearby is a pool accessible to ships at high tide in an area where the sea is shallow with sandbanks.
