Hone and Benton concluded that although more primitive pterosauromorphs are needed to clarify their relationships, pterosaurs are best considered archosaurs, and specifically ornithodirans, given current evidence.

Because they are so distant, they are apparently stationary to our current technology, yet their positions can be measured with the utmost accuracy by Very Long Baseline Interferometry ( VLBI ); positions of most are known to 0. 001 arcsecond or better, orders of magnitude more precise than the best optical measurements.

The best current practice ( BCP ) subseries collects administrative documents and other texts which are considered as official rules and not only informational, but which do not affect over the wire data.

Grant ) and his current colleagues in British Columbia, were once thought to provide an intriguing example best explained by sympatric speciation.

Plutarch provides the most evocative version of this story: But when Egypt revolted with Athenian aid ... and Cimon's mastery of the sea forced the King to resist the efforts of the Hellenes and to hinder their hostile growth ... messages came down to Themistocles saying that the King commanded him to make good his promises by applying himself to the Hellenic problem ; then, neither embittered by anything like anger against his former fellow-citizens, nor lifted up by the great honor and power he was to have in the war, but possibly thinking his task not even approachable, both because Hellas had other great generals at the time, and especially because Cimon was so marvelously successful in his campaigns ; yet most of all out of regard for the reputation of his own achievements and the trophies of those early days ; having decided that his best course was to put a fitting end to his life, he made a sacrifice to the gods, then called his friends together, gave them a farewell clasp of his hand, and, as the current story goes, drank bull's blood, or as some say, took a quick poison, and so died in Magnesia, in the sixty-fifth year of his life ... They say that the King, on learning the cause and the manner of his death, admired the man yet more, and continued to treat his friends and kindred with kindness.

By becoming President under current terms, Grant would at best leave the office at age 56 with no income, assuming he served two terms.

In 1986, the U. S. Congress Office of Technology Assessment reported that estimates of the animals used in the U. S. range from 10 million to upwards of 100 million each year, and that their own best estimate was at least 17 million to 22 million.

Most aces ' records are thus ' best estimates ', not ' exact counts '.

In comparison, the best estimates of the number of deaths of Union soldiers are 110, 100 killed or mortally wounded in battle, 224, 580 deaths from disease and 30, 192 deaths in Confederate prison camps, although these figures also are subject to some dispute.
