In the Heartland League Championship, the Cheetahs would sweep the heavily favored Tennessee Tomahawks 2 games to 0 to gain the franchises first title.

1994 was the most important year to date for the Bears, marking their first international victory against the USA Tomahawks, in San Francisco.

The first capability is represented by a combination of manned bombers, carrier-based aircraft, and intercontinental and intermediate range missiles.

* 1961 – K-19, the first Soviet nuclear submarine equipped with nuclear missiles, is commissioned.

The weapons system based on Phoenix was the world's first to allow simultaneous guidance of missiles against multiple targets.

Germany first deployed cruise style missiles, during World War II.

The first consignment of R-12 missiles arrived on the night of September 8, followed by a second on September 16.

The US first obtained U-2 photographic evidence of the missiles on October 14, when a U-2 flight piloted by Major Richard Heyser took 928 pictures, capturing images of what turned out to be an SS-4 construction site at San Cristóbal, Pinar del Río Province, in western Cuba.

After first testing a domestic built nuclear weapon in 1964, it went on to develop various warheads and missiles.

The DF-5, with range of 10, 000 to 12, 000 km long enough to strike the western US and the USSR, was silo deployed with the first pair in service by 1981 with possibly twenty missiles in service by the late 1990s.

It is the first submarine to carry ballistic missiles.

These missiles were the first US ballistic missiles developed at JPL.

The first missiles to be used operationally were a series of missiles developed by Nazi Germany in World War II.

The missiles of the day were all required to be loaded with their fuels prior to launch ( they all used nonstorable propellants ); and they could only be launched from above ground ( after long pre-launch checkouts ) launch pads, making them vulnerable to attack-the first ICBMs, Atlas 1 and Titan 1 were of this type.

Although the Germans put considerable effort into the first surface-to-air missiles ( SAMs ) after 1943, they did not have enough time to develop operational-level weapons before the war ended.

The first eight Ohio-class subs were built with the Trident I missiles.

The Department of Defense said they would cooperate with ABC if it was made clear in the script that the Soviet Union launched their missiles first, something Meyer and Papazian were at pains not to do.

Other technological and engineering feats achieved during, or as a result of, the war include the world's first programmable computers ( Z3, Colossus, and ENIAC ), guided missiles and modern rockets, the Manhattan Project's development of nuclear weapons, operations research and the development of artificial harbours and oil pipelines under the English Channel.

The computer stages a massive Soviet first strike with hundreds of missiles, submarines, and bombers.

* June 9 – The USS George Washington is launched as the first submarine to carry ballistic missiles.

* July 24 – Vietnam War: Four F-4C Phantoms escorting a bombing raid at Kang Chi are targeted by antiaircraft missiles, in the first such attack against American planes in the war.

TOW-2B was the first to use tandem warheads in the mid-1980s, an aspect of the weapon which the US Army had to reveal under news media and Congressional pressure resulting from the concern that NATO antitank missiles were ineffective against Soviet tanks that were fitted with the new ERA boxes.

The following quotation from the letter suggests that Castro was calling for a Soviet first strike against the US if it responded militarily to the placement of nuclear missiles aimed at the US in Cuba:

Western nations view Russian bellicosity and belligerence as having markedly increased as of late, with tests of new nuclear-capable missiles occurring on a regular basis, military conflicts with neighboring states, claims of a Russian " sphere of influence " on the perimeter of the old Soviet Union, the rise of ultra-nationalist " Putin Youth " groups, aggressive politicization of and threats of withdrawal of natural gas supplies to Europe should the Europeans not make certain policy concessions, and even threats of a nuclear first strike against Poland have been heard to be made by certain Russian generals.

Officials in the People's Republic of China recently tested an anti-satellite missile, leading to widespread international concern, as anti-satellite missiles are viewed as threats to nuclear-launch warning systems, which could facilitate a first strike ; further, tensions amid the Chinese governments over Taiwan have been rife in recent years ; in addition, the PRC is reportedly pursuing modernization of their nuclear forces.

But her prettiness was what he had noticed first, and all the other things had come afterward: cruelty, meanness, self-will.

`` That's what started all the trouble in the first place.

`` Bastards '', he would say, `` all I did was put a beat to that Vivaldi stuff, and the first chair clobbered me ''!!

Unless all gadgets are properly operated -- and the wires and seals from the handles removed first -- no damage can be done.

In his recognition of his impersonal self the dancer moves, and this self, in the `` first revealed stroke of its existence '', states the theme from which all else must follow.

The first sentence, with its platitudinous irony, announces an emblematic intent: `` The way to the churchyard ran along beside the highroad, ran beside it all the way to the end ; ;

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.

Being somewhat delicate in health, at the age of sixteen he was sent to Southern Europe, for which he at once developed a passion, so that he spent nearly all of the following ten years abroad, at first in Italy, then in Greece, Egypt, Asia Minor, and Palestine.

At first glance this appears strange: of all people, was not America founded by rugged individualists who established a new way of life still inspiring `` undeveloped '' societies abroad??

and, `` I do think that families are the most beautiful things in all the world '', burst out Jo some five hundred pages later in that popular story of the March family, which had first appeared when Henrietta was eight ; ;

This included Mamma, jolly, generous, and pretty, with whom they all fell in love, just as Papa had first fallen in love with her Mamma before he chose her ; ;

To this end, the first and longest section of the tract cites all the laws enacted since the Revolution to defend England against the `` Arbitrary Power of a Popish Prince ''.

Perhaps Mrs. Meynell would do me the undeserved kindness to keep my own copy of the first edition of my first book, with all its mementos of her and the dear ones.

Master Gorton, having foully abused high and low at Aquidneck is now bewitching and bemaddening poor Providence, both with his unclean and foul censures of all the ministers of this country ( for which myself have in Christ's name withstood him ), and also denying all visible and external ordinances in depth of Familism: almost all suck in his poison, as at first they did at Aquidneck.

But all the reports of this first embassy show that the two Savoyards were the heads of it, for they were the only ones who were empowered to swear for the king that he would abide by the pope's decision and who were allowed to appoint deputies in the event that one was unavoidably absent.

In fact, modern scholarly opinion in the main has not retreated all the way back to the destructive scepticism of the first half of the nineteenth century.

There were several men of ninety or more whom I knew first or last, all of whom were still productive and most of whom knew one another as if they had naturally come together at the apex of their lives.

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.

His first book, Before The Brave ( 1936 ), is a collection of poems that are almost all Communistic, but after publication of this book he rejected Communism, and advocated a pacifistic anarchy, though retaining his revolutionary idiom.
