The frequently postulated antique worry that the daylight hours might dwindle to complete darkness apparently gave rise to a ritual and celebration which we still recognize.

Everyone is ambivalent about his profession, if he has practised it long enough, but there were still moments when he loved the stage and all those unseen people out there, who might cheer you or boo you, but that was largely, though not entirely, up to you.

Other scholars have presented evidence pointing to a post-monarchic date ( as late as 200 BC ) based on language and theme, although the book might still have been based on an earlier composition.

Thus, in the Hindu schools, if a claim was made that could not be substantiated by appeal to the textual canon, it would be considered as ridiculous as a claim that the sky was green and, conversely, a claim which could not be substantiated via conventional means might still be justified through textual reference, differentiating this from the epistemology of modern science.

Usually, a meeting which is held without notice having been given is still valid if all of the directors attend, but it has been held that a failure to give notice may negate resolutions passed at a meeting, because the persuasive oratory of a minority of directors might have persuaded the majority to change their minds and vote otherwise.

Bliss wanted a classification system that would provide distinct rules yet still be adaptable to whatever kind of collection a library might have, as different libraries have different needs.

Cranmer recognized that the 1549 rite of Communion had been capable of conservative misinterpretation and misuse in that the consecration rite might still be undertaken even when no congregational Communion followed.

In the early 3rd century the Canons of the Apostolic Constitutions decreed that only lower clerics might still marry after their ordination, but marriage of bishops, priests, and deacons were not allowed.

Alison was still sound asleep ; ;

The cold lingered, making sleep difficult that night, and he remained in bed still the next morning, now unable to keep from thinking about the inexplicable sight of burning metal, the wretched sound, the unbearable feeling of having been to a remote Tokyo temple at some earlier time in his life.

Nevertheless, it still contains information that is considered reasonably sound – for instance, it is the only source that mentions the erection of the Antonine Wall in Britain.

The carrier is never shut off altogether ; this is to ensure that intercarrier sound demodulation can still occur.

“ A visit to the ground has only confirmed me ,” Lucas wrote in 1921 ; “ and it was interesting to find that Mr. Apostolides, son of the large local landowner, the hospitality of whose farm at Tekés I enjoyed, was convinced too that the site was by Driskole Krini, for the very sound reason that neither the hills nor the river further east suit Caesar ’ s description .” John D. Morgan in his definitive “ Palae-pharsalus – the Battle and the Town ”, arguing for a site closer still to Krini, where he places Palaepharsalos, writes: “ My reconstruction is similar to Lucas ’ s, and in fact I borrow one of his alternatives for the line of the Pompeian retreat.

It can also be tuned to E-A-D, like its cousin, the domra, to make it easier for those trained on the domra to play the instrument, and still have a balalaika sound.

The game was ( and still is, in Scotland and Scottish-settled regions like southern New Zealand ) also known as " the roaring game " because of the sound the stones make while traveling over the pebble ( droplets of water applied to the playing surface ).

The advantages to this system compared with unfretted instruments ( see below ) include relative ease of tuning ( with around half as many strings to keep in tune ), greater volume ( though still not really enough for use in chamber music ), and a clearer, more direct sound.

The proportions of the spheres of the planets and stars ( which at the time were still thought to revolve around the earth ) were perceived as a form of music, without necessarily implying that any sound would be heard — music refers strictly to the mathematical proportions.

The polyphonic organization of different melodies to sound at the same time was still a relatively new invention then, and it is understandable that the mathematical or physical relationships in frequency that give rise to the musical intervals as we hear them, should be foremost among the preoccupations of Medieval musicians.

" Slap style " may have influenced electric bass guitar players who, from the mid-sixties ( particularly Larry Graham of Sly and the Family Stone ), developed a technique called slap and pop that used the thumb of the plucking hand to hit the string, making a slapping sound but still letting the note ring, and the index or middle finger of the plucking hand to pull the string back so it hits the fretboard, achieving the pop sound described above.

In 403 BC, Athens took over the Ionian spelling system and with it the vocalic use of H ( even though it still also had the / h / sound itself at that time ).

Other regional variants of the Greek alphabet ( epichoric alphabets ), in dialects that still preserved the sound / h /, employed various glyph shapes for consonantal Heta side by side with the new vocalic Eta for some time.

However, there was still significant interest in motion pictures for films to be produced without sound.

However, these images are still mediated by the same factors as traditional film, such as the “ moving camera, composition, editing, lighting, and all varieties of sound .” While acknowledging the value in inserting positive representations of women in film, some critics asserted that real change would only come about from reconsidering the role of film in society, often from a semiotic point of view.

Allegedly the owners decided to quit while the company was still financially sound in a market they perceived as going downhill.

The original purpose of the resonator was to produce a very loud sound ; this purpose has been largely superseded by electrical amplification, but the resonator guitar is still played because of its distinctive tone.

The vibraphone was ( and is still ) sometimes referred to as the " vibraharp ," though it has no strings and its sound is produced by striking metal bars.

And if you are in an airliner, you can still carry on a conversation with the person beside you because the sound of your words is traveling along with the air inside the aircraft.

This effect is basic to all Newtonian dynamics, which says that everything from sound to the trajectory of a thrown baseball should all remain the same in the aircraft as sitting still on the Earth.

Britain and France believed that war could still be avoided, and that the Soviet Union, weakened by the Great Purge, could not be a main military participant, a point that many military sources were at variance with, especially after the sound thrashing administered to the Japanese Kwantung army on the Manchurian frontier.

The oral cavity still acts as a resonance chamber for the sound.

Two or three sound stages and four outdoor sets were destroyed ; fortunately, the rest of the Studios were still intact.
