Banks the Butcher was a hard master and a hard father, a man who didn't seem to know the difference between the living flesh of his family and the hanging carcasses of his stock in trade.

Democratic Speaker Champ Clark saw little difference between a conscript and a convict.

The other reason ( and the one with which I am here concerned ) is that one thus becomes inclined to inquire of any opinion, or change of opinion, whether it represents the wisdom of experience or is only the result of the difference between youth and age which is as inevitable as the all too obvious physical differences.

Although the false glamour surrounding bourbon or other whisky commercials is possibly no more fatuous than the pseudo-sophistication with which TV soft-drinks are downed or toothpaste applied, there is a sad difference between enticing a viewer into sipping Oopsie-Cola and gulling him into downing bourbon.

Such payments shall be made to small domestic producers of zinc as long as the market price for prime western zinc at East Saint Louis, Illinois, as determined by the Secretary, is below 14-1/2 cents per pound, and such payments shall be 55 per centum of the difference between 14-1/2 cents per pound and the average market price for the month in which the sale occurred as determined by the Secretary.

A second fundamental principle is that involved particularly in the present proceeding -- the difference between nighttime and daytime propagation conditions with respect to the standard broadcast frequencies.

Because of the difference between daytime and nighttime propagation conditions, it has been necessary to evolve different allocation structures for daytime and nighttime broadcasting in the AM band, with many more stations operating during the day than at night.

Compare the vast difference in scope and beauty between his neat and witty little Classical Symphony and his big, muscular, passionate, and eloquent Fifth Symphony ; ;

We may then dismiss the time difference between these courses and the usual four year course of the interior design student as not having serious bearing on the subject.

Because of the historical difference between TAI and ET when TT was introduced, the TAI realization of TT is defined thus:

ΔT, Delta T, delta-T, deltaT, or DT is the time difference obtained by subtracting Universal Time ( UT ) from Terrestrial Time ( TT ): ΔT = TT − UT.

In view of the fluctuation term, practical determination of the difference between ephemeris time and UT depended on observation.

Because the discrepancy is not fully explained, uncertainty of our prediction of UT ( rotation angle of the Earth ) may be as large as the difference between these values: 11 s / cy < sup > 2 </ sup >.

* Delta T, the time difference between UT and Terrestrial Time

* DUT1 or DUT, which describes the difference between coordinated universal time ( UTC ) and universal time ( UT )

Rather it is rooted in a difference of response to the threat of social disintegration.

Men seem almost universally to want a sense of function, that is, a feeling that their existence makes a difference to someone, living or unborn, close and immediate or generalized.

This difference is made up of many factors.

The essential difference between the new trans-illuminated boards and existing billboards is that the former, constructed of translucent plastic panels, are lighted from within.

It is presumed that this negative head was associated with some geometric factor of the assembly, since different readings were obtained with the same fluid and the only apparent difference was the assembly and disassembly of the apparatus.

The concept of the strain energy as a Gibbs function difference Af and exerting a force normal to the shearing face is compatible with the information obtained from optical birefringence studies of fluids undergoing shear.
