The terms are fairly safe to use on this side of the ocean, but before you start spouting them to your date, it might be best to find out if he was a member of Major Pockmanster's Delhi Regiment, since resentment toward the natives was reportedly very high in that outfit.

This dinner was the start of a new blatancy in the relationship between the gangs and the politicians, which, prior to 1924, says Pasley, `` had been maintained with more or less stealth '', but which henceforth was marked by these ostentatious gatherings, denounced by a clergyman as `` Belshazzar feasts '', at which `` politicians fraternized cheek by jowl with gangsters, openly, in the big downtown hotels ''.

Marie-Louise von Franz tells us the double approach of Western alchemy was set from the start, when Greek philosophy was mixed with Egyptian and Mesopotamian technology.

The X3 committee made other changes, including other new characters ( the brace and vertical line characters ), renaming some control characters ( SOM became start of header ( SOH )) and moving or removing others ( RU was removed ).

At the start of a new industrial age in the 18th century, it was believed that " people are the riches of the nation ", and there was a general faith in an economy that paid its workers low wages because high wages meant workers would work less.

In 1858 he was transferred to Fort Moultrie in Charleston harbor, but by the start of the Civil War, he was a captain and second in command in the garrison at Fort Sumter, under Maj. Robert Anderson.

The Norden bombsight was a highly sophisticated optical / mechanical analog computer used by the United States Army Air Force during World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War to aid the pilot of a bomber aircraft in dropping bomb s accurately.

At the time of the design of ATM, 155 Mbit / s Synchronous Digital Hierarchy ( SDH ) with 135 Mbit / s payload was considered a fast optical network link, and many Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy ( PDH ) links in the digital network were considerably slower, ranging from 1. 544 to 45 Mbit / s in the USA, and 2 to 34 Mbit / s in Europe.

The limitations of beam-riding guidance ( which was slaved to an optical sight on single seater fighters and a radar with night fighters ) restricted the missile to attacks against targets flying a straight course and made it essentially useless against a maneuvering target.

Later it was found at Montebras, Creuse, France, and at Hebron in Maine ; and because of slight differences in optical character and chemical composition the names montebrasite and hebronite have been applied to the mineral from these localities.

A 200-inch telescope was dedicated on nearby Palomar Mountain in 1948 and remained the world's most powerful optical telescope for over forty years.

A seven-person project group was formed to develop an optical audio disc with a diameter of 20 cm with a sound quality superior to that of the large and vulnerable vinyl record.

* Geordi La Forge from Star Trek: The Next Generation, who was born blind and uses optical implants combined with a removable unit called a VISOR, to see.

Subsequent investigations proved that the appearance of flying rods on video was an optical illusion created by the slower recording speed of the camera.

A much more valuable and practical result of Brewster's optical researches was the improvement of the British lighthouse system.

The motivation behind its exclusion from the CSA was that, under the CSA, all optical isomers of listed Schedule II opiates are automatically Schedule II substances.

Since dextromethorphan is an optical isomer of the Schedule II opiate levomethorphan ( but does not act like an opiate ), an exemption was necessary to keep it a non-controlled substance.

The components of the primary are becoming closer together and will not be divisible in amateur telescopes beginning in 2015. δ Equ is a binary star with an orbital period of 5. 7 years, which at one time was the shortest known orbital period for an optical binary.

The accuracy was limited by the accuracy of optical observation, and corrections of clocks and time signals were published in arrear.

Some doubted the discovery at first, arguing that the appearance of the structure was merely an optical illusion created by the observation technique used by Golgi.

The optical portion of the camera was built as a Cassegrain telescope.

The latter hypothesis seems the more plausible evolution determinant as the surface area of the head is minute compared to the remainder of the body, thus the energy required in producing long hair for the express purpose of " optical " amplification of UV light reflected from the snow seems counterproductive ( however, it's very likely that the trait was sustained due to a nuanced combination of multiple influences, given that human hunting-skills and ingenuity were such by 50, 000 years ago that said benefits in terms of ' comfort ' could have alternatively been derived from constructing head and ear warmers of fur from prey, etc .).

The inaugural meeting for Task Group 7 was held during January 2009, where it was chartered to write standards for free-space optical communication using visible light.

Through most of 1603, Kepler paused his other work to focus on optical theory ; the resulting manuscript, presented to the emperor on January 1, 1604, was published as Astronomiae Pars Optica ( The Optical Part of Astronomy ).

Some earlier optical keyboards were limited in their structure and required special casing to block external light, no multi-key functionality was supported and the design was very limited to a thick rectangular case.

In 1982 NOAO was formed to consolidate the management of three optical observatories — Kitt Peak ; the National Solar Observatory facilities at Kitt Peak and Sacramento Peak, New Mexico ; and the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile.

The dwarf planet Pluto was discovered as late as 1929, the delay mostly due to its small size, far distance, and optical faintness.

In the early technical literature, especially at Bell Telephone Laboratories, the laser was called an optical maser ; this term is now obsolete.

The concept originally was called an " optical maser ".
