His thermometer was calibrated with a value of 100 ° for the freezing point of water and 0 ° for the boiling point.

The function ƒ ( x ) may or may not be defined at a, and its precise value at the point x = a does not affect the asymptote.

These factors led to the shift of the store of value being the metal itself: at first silver, then both silver and gold, at one point there was bronze as well.

If the shooter " hits " the point value again ( any value of the dice that sum to the point will do ; the shooter doesn't have to exactly repeat the value combination of the come-out roll ) before rolling a seven, the Pass line wins and a new round starts, usually with the dice staying with the current shooter.

If the roll is any other value, it establishes a point ; if that point is rolled again before a seven, the bet wins.

If is any unit vector, the projection of the curl of F onto is defined to be the limiting value of a closed line integral in a plane orthogonal to as the path used in the integral becomes infinitesimally close to the point, divided by the area enclosed.

Where an object is intersected, the color value at the point may be evaluated using several methods.

In the simplest, the color value of the object at the point of intersection becomes the value of that pixel.

Once the ray either encounters a light source, or more probably once a set limiting number of bounces has been evaluated, then the surface illumination at that final point is evaluated using techniques described above, and the changes along the way through the various bounces evaluated to estimate a value observed at the point of view.

As an example, choose a point a and let f be the step function that returns a value, say 1, for all x less than a, and returns a different value, say 10, for all x greater than or equal to a. f cannot have a derivative at a.

For a given quantity of a consumer good, the point on the demand curve indicates the value, or marginal utility, to consumers for that unit.

Euphoria dynamically changes between integer and floating point representation according to the current value.

During the age when the whole point of money was that it was made of precious metal, there was frequent trimming or shaving of coins once they were released to the public, even though people were expected to accept the diminished coins at their face value.

However, in very simple projects, each activity may be assigned a weighted “ point value " which might not be a budget number.

These vector fields each have a value defined at every point of space and time and are thus often regarded as functions of the space and time coordinates.

By 1898 Georges Méliès was the largest producer of fiction films in France, and from this point onwards his output was almost entirely films featuring trick effects, which were very successful in all markets.

* Basic scoring: Each player scores 1 point for each trick he / she takes.

* Variant basic scoring: As with Basic Scoring each player scores 1 point for each trick he / she takes however a player that wins the exact number of tricks bid receives an additional 5 points for making the contract.

Players who underbid score only one point for each trick.

* Variable bonus scoring: Each player scores one point for each trick taken, plus a variable bonus if the player takes the exact number of tricks bid.

Occasionally, some backup quarterbacks may be used to receive long snaps as a holder for field goal or extra point attempts, as quarterbacks generally have good ball handling skills, and may have to become the passer in the event of a bad snap, an aborted kick attempt or a designed trick play.

After all tricks have been played, the side which won more tricks scores 1 point for each trick won in excess of 6.

That team would receive 1 point for the 7th trick and only 1 point for honours.

* Diminishing contract whist ( a British variant, combining elements of solo whist, bid whist and knock-out whist, players compete individually, not in pairs, and after each hand has been dealt must name the number of tricks to take, scoring one point per trick and a bonus 10 for matching their contract.

Players earn one point for every trick they won, regardless of any other bonuses

In " Clever Cinders ", the Opies observe that the heroine incinerates a giant by shoving him into an oven in a manner similar to Gretel, and point out that a ruse involving a twig in a Swedish tale resembles Hansel's trick of the dry bone.

By looking at a horizontally repeating pattern, but converging the two eyes at a point behind the pattern, it is possible to trick the brain into matching one element of the pattern, as seen by the left eye, with another ( similar looking ) element, beside the first, as seen by the right eye.

He scored a hat trick and added two assists for a five point game against the New York Rangers on 20 December 2000 in a 6 – 3 win.

Other variants, including the original form of Kentucky Discard, do not include the Rook, while still others make the Rook the lowest trump or change its relative value, are played without a nest, add the 1 as a 15 point counter that is the highest card in each suit, or give a 20-point bonus for winning the majority of tricks or the last trick.

To perform a simple squeeze, South would have to lose a trick at some point to rectify the count.

However, if you think of this merely as a mnemonic trick for extending the memory span, you will miss the more important point that is implicit in nearly all such mnemonic devices.

These traitors can act arbitrarily in order to achieve the following aims: trick some generals into attacking ; force a decision that is not consistent with the generals ' desires, e. g. forcing an attack when no general wished to attack ; or confusing some generals to the point that they are unable to make up their minds.

Scores are calculated by adding the sum of the point value of each trick strung together in a combo and then multiplying by the number of tricks in the combo.

A common point of dissent is whether a player who holds trumps but not the lead suit should be forced to play a trump if they cannot beat a higher trump already on the table ; while the consensus seems to be that the " play to win " rule applies, groups of players are known to require a player to play trump even though the player cannot possibly win the trick.

At that point we reach the `` closed '' historical situation: the situation in which man is no longer free to return to a status quo ante.

With regard to the change we are examining, the question is, at what point does the change become irreversible??

Such a response, of course, misses the point that in crisis order is going out of existence.

This is the principal point made in this final section of Englishman No. 57, and it caps Steele's efforts in his other writing of these months to counteract the notion of the Tories as a `` Church Party '' supported by the body of the clergy.

One, a reservation on the point I have just made, is the phenomenon of pseudo-thinking, pseudo-feeling, and pseudo-willing, which Fromm discussed in The Escape From Freedom.

At this point a working definition of idea is in order, although our first definition will have to be qualified somewhat as we proceed.

Some historians have found his point of view not to their taste, others have complained that he makes the Tory tradition appear `` contemptible rather than intelligible '', while a sympathetic critic has remarked that the `` intricate interplay of social dynamics and political activity of which, at times, politicians are the ignorant marionettes is not a field for the exercise of his talents ''.

The other is that the charge for cabanas and parasols, though modest from an American point of view, still is a little high for many Athenians.

And there is one other point in the Poetics that invites moral evaluation: Aristotle's notion that the distinctive function of tragedy is to purge one's emotions by arousing pity and fear.

The point is that an ethical critic, with an assist from Freud, can seize on this theory to argue that tragedy provides us with a harmless outlet for our hostile urges.

Everyone is more or less sceptical and virtually no one has been willing to accept Lappenberg or Kemble's position on that point.
