The American linguist William Dwight Whitney, for example, actively strove to eradicate the Native American languages arguing that their speakers were savages and would be better off abandoning their languages and learning English and adopting a civilized way of life.

He saw how the mass of Indian legends which Schoolcraft was collecting depicted noble savages out of time, and offered, if treated right, a kind of primitive example of that very progress which had done them in.

" Setting a pernicious example to the savages " 50 lashes-only trial at Fort Mandan and last on expedition.

A prominent example is Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, in which the author balantly disregards Congolese natives by grouping them as savages or cannibals, without fully understanding the tribalism of native history and traditions.

Like Bernardi, Austin discusses racial stereotypes in the episode ; citing Bernardi, he argues that, instead of considering " the Yangs as noble savages, the Yangs can now be seen as an example of the result of mindless nationalism run amok, albeit still salvageable in Roddenberry's ever-optimistic view of the future.

This almost trivial example is nevertheless suggestive, for there are some elements in common between the antique fear that the days would get shorter and shorter and our present fear of war.

A simple example is that almost all prime numbers are odd.

For example, an antiproton and a positron can form an antihydrogen atom, which has almost exactly the same properties as a hydrogen atom.

In the 880s, at the same time that he was " cajoling and threatening " his nobles to build and man the burhs, Alfred, perhaps inspired by the example of Charlemagne almost a century before, undertook an equally ambitious effort to revive learning.

Proper nouns that are plural in form take a plural verb in both AmE and BrE ; for example, The Beatles are a well-known band ; The Saints are the champions, with one major exception: largely for historical reasons, in American English, the United States is is almost universal.

For example, he almost always uses the terms " Australes " and " Occidentales " for the South and West Saxons respectively, but in a passage in the first book he uses " Meridiani " and " Occidui " instead, as perhaps his informant had done.

He says relatively little about the achievements of Mercia and Wessex, omitting, for example, any mention of Boniface, a West Saxon missionary to the continent of some renown and of whom Bede had almost certainly heard, though Bede does discuss Northumbrian missionaries to the continent.

Another difficulty is that manuscripts of early writers were often incomplete: it is apparent that Bede had access to Pliny's Encyclopedia, for example, but it seems that the version he had was missing book xviii, as he would almost certainly have quoted from it in his De temporum ratione.

For example, although the words wee and little are interchangeable in some contexts, wee ( as an adjective ) is almost exclusively written by some people from some parts of northern Britain ( and especially Scotland ) or from Northern Ireland, whereas in Southern England and Wales, little is used predominantly.

Even this distinction is not completely clear-cut — for example, humans normally walk and run in biped fashion, but almost all can crawl on hands and knees when necessary.

For example, the ( discounted ) annual season ticket from London to Brighton ( standard 2nd class ) as of January 2010 costs £ 3, 280 for, while an annual DB ( German ) 100 BahnCard, which allows one year's travel on the entire German rail network, costs almost exactly the same ( 3800 Euros ).

Some early ' skyscrapers ' were made in masonry, and demonstrated the limitations of the material – for example, the Monadnock Building in Chicago ( opened in 1896 ) is masonry and just 17 stories high ; the ground walls are almost thick, clearly building any higher would lead to excessive loss of internal floor space on the lower floors.

For example, many commercial contracts are more economically efficient, and create greater wealth, because the parties know ahead of time that the proposed arrangement, though perhaps close to the line, is almost certainly legal.

For example, in 2006 more than 60 percent of Fortune 500 companies did not have a COO, and in 2007 almost 58 percent of Fortune 500 companies did not have a COO.

Other crimes, called mala in se, count as outlawed in almost all societies, ( murder, theft and rape, for example ).

For example, most species of bears are actually omnivorous, except for the giant panda, which is almost exclusively herbivorous, and the carnivorous polar bear.

" For example, James Madison argued for a constitutional republic with protections for individual liberty over a pure democracy, reasoning that, in a pure democracy, a " common passion or interest will, in almost every case, be felt by a majority of the whole ... and there is nothing to check the inducements to sacrifice the weaker party ...."

The Zoological Gardens of London for example once successfully managed to mate a male European wolf to an Indian female, resulting in a pup bearing an almost exact likeness to its sire.

For example, the highly anticipated first person shooter Quake used highly-optimized assembly code designed almost entirely around the P5 Pentium's FPU.

One example is Band-in-a-Box, which is capable of creating jazz, blues and rock instrumental solos with almost no user interaction.

For example, the fighting associated with the 1871 Paris Commune occurred almost entirely in Paris, and ended quickly once the military sided with the government.

The most frequently cited example — although it is almost never employed by current users — involves the replacement of " stairs " with the rhyming phrase " apples and pears ".

In plying, two or more yarns are spun together, almost always in the opposite sense from which they were spun individually ; for example, two Z-twist yarns are usually plied with an S-twist.

For example, in Man with a Movie Camera, two trains are shown almost melting into each other, although we are taught to see trains as not riding that close, Vertov tried to portray the actual sight of two passing trains.

For example, Italy allows citizenship almost entirely on the basis of jus sanguinis ( having an Italian Ancestor ).

It resembles, too, pictures such as Durer and Bruegel did, in which all that looks at first to be solely pictorial proves on inspection to be also literary, the representation of a proverb, for example, or a deadly sin.

The convicts were put in chains, paraded before the congregation at the Reverend Cotton's lecture as an example, and sent to prisons in various towns, where they languished all winter, chains included.

One example of this was his assertion that `` all servile revolts must be dealt with by physical force ''.

And to do this requires first of all the kind of information about people which is provided by the scientists in industrial anthropology and consumer research, who, for example, tell Courtenay that three days is the `` optimum priming period for a closed social circuit to be triggered with a catalytic cue-phrase '' -- which means that an effective propaganda technique is to send an idea into circulation and then three days later reinforce or undermine it.

their example caused Krim and his friends to put on `` Englishy airs, affect all sorts of impressive scholarship and social-register unnaturalness in order to slip through their narrow transoms and get into their pages ''.

He was told he displayed, for example, a sense of superiority -- and he answered: `` Well, I am supposed to know all the answers, aren't I ''??

In fact, some -- Anzilotti is the principle example -- went so far as to say that all international law could be traced to the single legal norm, Pacta sunt Servanda.

J. Wheaton Smith, editor of the Warren Telegraph stated that `` the ends of justice must be satisfied, a solitary example must be set, in order that all those misnamed philantropists, who, actuated by a blind zeal, dare to instigate riot, treason, and murder, may heed it and shape their future course accordingly ''.

It is merely the latest example of the leapfrog growth which formed the pattern of virtually all American cities.

It omits, for example, practically the whole line of great nineteenth century English social critics, nearly all the great writers whose basic position is religious, and all those who are with more or less accuracy called Existentialists.

For example, effective mine barriers from Florida to Cuba and across the Yucatan Channel from Cuba to Mexico would remove all requirements for harbor defense, inshore patrol, convoy escort, shipping control, and mine defense for the entire Gulf of Mexico.

Just about the most enthralling real-life example of meeting cute is the Charles MacArthur-Helen Hayes saga: reputedly all he did was give her a handful of peanuts, but he said simultaneously, `` I wish they were emeralds ''.

For example, in 1693 the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting of Friends declared that its members should emancipate their slaves and in 1776 it determined to exclude from membership all who did not comply.

The honored professionals were awarded for all the work done in a certain category for the qualifying period ; for example, Jannings received the award for two movies in which he starred during that period.

In New Jersey, for example, the Administrative Office of the Court has promulgated a form of notice of appeal for use by appellants, though using this exact form is not mandatory and the failure to use it is not a jurisdictional defect provided that all pertinent information is set forth in whatever form of notice of appeal is used.

Generally, there is no trial in an appellate court, only consideration of the record of the evidence presented to the trial court and all the pre-trial and trial court proceedings are reviewed — unless the appeal is by way of re-hearing, new evidence will usually only be considered on appeal in " very " rare instances, for example if that material evidence was unavailable to a party for some very significant reason such as prosecutorial misconduct.

: For an example of the simple algorithm " Add m + n " described in all three levels see Algorithm examples.

For example, after having established that the set X contains only non-empty sets, a mathematician might have said " let F ( s ) be one of the members of s for all s in X.

For example, suppose that X is the set of all non-empty subsets of the real numbers.

For example, if one defines categories in terms of sets, that is, as sets of objects and morphisms ( usually called a small category ), or even locally small categories, whose hom-objects are sets, then there is no category of all sets, and so it is difficult for a category-theoretic formulation to apply to all sets.

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.

It is often useful to be able to compute the variance in a single pass, inspecting each value only once ; for example, when the data are being collected without enough storage to keep all the values, or when costs of memory access dominate those of computation.

However, in general, the books only feature mental battles when there is some reason for mind-to-mind contact ( for example, Trump contact ) and magic or Trump is involved in all three of the above conflicts, so it is not clear whether Zelazny intended his characters to have such a power ; the combination of Brand's " living trump " powers and his high Psyche ( as presented in the roleplaying game ) would have guaranteed him victory over Corwin.
