He may even alter the pattern by applying a scheme of random numbers.

He was delighted to learn that the Post Office Department is now going to expand this service to deliver mail from Representatives in Congress to their constituents without the use of stamps, names, addresses or even zone numbers.

While women had always attended ball games in small numbers ( it was the part of a `` dead game sport '' in the early years of the twentieth century to be taken out to the ball park and to root, root, root for the home team ), they had often sat in patient martyrdom, unable even to read the scoreboard, which sometimes seemed to indicate that one team led another by a score of three hundred and eighty to one hundred and fifty-one.

If he does, it's still better than an even chance he won't notice the transposition of the numbers, and if he should notice it, the thing can be passed off as an honest mistake.

For they considered the odd numbers as male and the even ones as female, equating the two groups with the Yang and Yin principles in Nature ; ;

and in this square, the respective pairs made up of large and small odd ( Yang ) numbers, and those composed of large and small even ( Yin ) numbers, were all equal to each other.

Whereas the primary meanings of the Lo Shu diagram seemed to have been based on its inner mathematical properties -- and we shall see that even its secondary meanings rested on some mathematical bases -- the urgent desire to place everything into categories of fives led to other groupings based on other numbers, until an exaggerated emphasis on mere numerology pervaded Chinese thought.

We have already seen that odd numbers were considered as being Yang, while the even numbers were Yin, so that the eight outer numbers of the Lo Shu represented these two principles in balanced equilibrium around the axial center.

Instead of linking the nine numbers of this diagram with the traditional Nine Provinces, as was usually done, this equated the odd, Yang numbers with mountains ( firm and resistant, hence Yang ) and the even numbers with rivers ( sinuous and yielding, hence Yin ) ; ;

Studies of membership trends, even in some areas where population is expanding, show that numbers of churches have had little net increase, though many new members were received.

In some of the numbers the instrumental parts have even been recorded at different times and then later combined on the master tape to produce special effects.

" The Republicans gained majorities in both House and Senate for the first time since Democrats in the 1856 elections, they were to be seated in numbers which Lincoln might use to govern, a national parliamentary majority even before pro-slavery House and Senate seats vacated.

As an example, the field of real numbers is not algebraically closed, because the polynomial equation x < sup > 2 </ sup > + 1 = 0 has no solution in real numbers, even though all its coefficients ( 1 and 0 ) are real.

By this consideration atomic physics provides the underlying theory in plasma physics and atmospheric physics, even though both deal with very large numbers of atoms.

This latter construal is sometimes expressed by saying " there is no fact of the matter as to whether or not P ." Thus, we may speak of anti-realism with respect to other minds, the past, the future, universals, mathematical entities ( such as natural numbers ), moral categories, the material world, or even thought.

According to Davis, " It's great triumph was to prove that the sum of two even numbers is even ".

In every known case, the numbers of a pair are either both even or both odd.

It is not known whether an even-odd pair of amicable numbers exists, but if it does, the even number must either be a square number or twice one, and the odd number must be a square number.

As the original 68000 processor in Amigas tended only to access memory on every second available memory cycle, Agnus operated a system where the time-critical custom chips access got the " odd " clock cycle and the CPU got the " even " cycle, thus the CPU did not generally get locked out of memory access and did not appear to slow down.

From the 100's 68000 processor, to the 190's 68LC040 processor, the 100 series PowerBooks span the entire Apple 68K line, with the 190 even upgradable to a PowerPC processor.

The 68000 line of processors has been used in a variety of systems, from modern high-end Texas Instruments calculators ( the TI-89, TI-92, and Voyage 200 lines ) to all of the members of the Palm Pilot series that run Palm OS 1. x to 4. x ( OS 5. x is ARM-based ), and even radiation hardened versions in the critical control systems of the Space Shuttle.

Motorola mainly used even numbers for major revisions to the CPU core such as 68000, 68020, 68040 and 68060.

Chunks must begin on even file offsets, as befits the origins of IFF on the Motorola 68000 processor, which couldn't address quantities larger than a byte on odd addresses.

As the 68000 processor used in early Amiga systems usually accesses memory on every second memory cycle, Agnus operates a system where the " odd " clock cycle is allocated to time-critical custom chip access and the " even " cycle is allocated to the CPU, thus the CPU is not typically blocked from memory access and may run without interruption.

The bus signals were simple to create using an 8080 CPU, but increasingly less so when using the Z80 and even more unrelated processors like the 68000.

This permitted implementation on relatively slow CPUs ( video encoded in Cinepak will usually play fine even on a 25 MHz Motorola 68030, consoles like the Sega CD usually used even slower CPUs, e. g. a 12. 5MHz 68000 ), but tended to result in blocky artifacting at low bitrates, which explained the criticism levelled at the FMV-based video games.

The game was written in 68000 assembler, later versions were implemented using a cut-down 68000 virtual machine even on lesser machines like the z80 based Sinclair Spectrum.

Except for the original Mac II which launched the line with a 68020 clocked at 16MHz, they exclusively used the Motorola 68030 microprocessor, even after the Motorola 68040 was introduced.

Her eyes were glazed as if she didn't hear or even see him.

One thing was certain -- his method was effective, so effective that after a time even the warning notices were often unnecessary.

Suddenly it seemed to him insane that they might hope to locate Gyp Carmer so casually, even were he to prove the thief.

They were married over the week-end, though he was easily sixty and she could not have been even thirty.

And when this was gone, he hadn't even a little bitter tablet to purify other water if he were to discover some stagnant jungle pool.

The Lalauries were at the top rung of the social ladder, and even a jury didn't feel privileged to doubt the veracity of so illustrious a lady.

Ardent, opinionated, even obstinate, they were amazingly articulate, wrote their own copy, and were masters of phrasemaking.

But there have been abrupt changes as well: the sit-ins, the picket lines, the bus strikes -- all of these were unheard-of even ten years ago.

his requesting, and often getting, higher wages, better working conditions, better schools -- changes that were slowly emerging even before the Supreme Court decision of 1954.

In each case, the object, the color, even the percussive sounds of the electronic score were designed to become part of the theatrical being of the performer.

Perhaps things were even worse then.

If an automobile were approaching him, he would know what was required of him, even though he might not be able to act quickly enough.

Linked to Holmes even in death, Moriarty represents the alter-ego of the great detective, the image of what our hero might have become were he not a public servant.

They were not diplomats or jazz musicians, or even organizers of reading-rooms and photo-montage displays, but rugged capitalist entrepreneurs like Henry Ford, Hugh Cooper, Thomas Campbell, the International Harvester Co., and David W. Griffith.

Also, I am convinced that if my company were a sole proprietorship instead of a partnership, I would have been even abler to solve long-range problems for myself and my fellow-employees.

Their books found no less willing readers outside than inside the South, even while memories of the war were still sharp.

and bright though they all were, they could not possibly compete for her interest with Papa, whose mind -- although he never tried to dazzle or patronize lesser lights with it -- naturally eclipsed theirs and made them seem to her even younger than they were.

A year ago, when I met with you, the nation was emerging from an economic downturn, even though the signs of resurgent prosperity were not then sufficiently convincing to the doubtful.

Another week passed and even the missionaries were enjoying the voyage.

The students were laughing uproariously at this piece of logic, and even the policemen were trying hard not to smile.

If his circumspection in regard to Philip's sensibilities went so far that he even refused to grant a dispensation for the marriage of Amadee's daughter, Agnes, to the son of the dauphin of Vienne -- a truly peacemaking move according to thirteenth-century ideas, for Savoy and Dauphine were as usual fighting on opposite sides -- for fear that he might seem to be favoring the anti-French coalition, he would certainly never take the far more drastic step of ordering the return of Gascony to Edward, even though, as he admitted to the English ambassadors, he had been advised that the original cession was invalid.
