Others, badly wounded, gripped hands in manes, knees in bellies, held on as long as possible and then, weak from ghastly wounds, slipped sideways, slowly, almost thoughtfully, to be broken under the slashing hoofs.

They could hear the pony's feet on the dry leaves for a while, then the sound faded out.

Then, and only then, with the Jacksons and Dan as their true guests of honor, did the Harrows take time to catch up on the news.

I was puzzled by the remark, then I recalled the voice of mild Professor Howard Griggs three years ago in a university lecture on primitive societies.

It made only a tiny bump over the two men like a tire over a piece of gravel then moved on.

The man took two short steps backward then sat down heavily on the pavement.

He heard their chattering, and then the sounds of hacking as they dismembered the snake right on the porch with wood axes.

For a brief period each year, the rays of the sun are warm enough to melt some of the snows piled a mile deep at the base of the headwalls, and then the pinnacles glisten in the daytime at high noon, and billions of gallons of water begin their slow seepage under the glaciers and across the rockstrewn hanging valleys on their long, meandering journey to the sea -- running east past the sky-carving massifs of Gurla Mandhata and Kemchenjunga, then turning south and curling down through the jungles of Assam, past the Khasi Hills, and into Bengal, past Sirinjani and Madaripur, until the hard water of the melting snows mingles with the soft drainage of fields and at length fans out to meld with the teeming salt depths of the Bay of Bengal.

We followed the asphalt road for a few miles and then swung off onto a smaller road which was nothing more than two tire marks on the earth.

even when the fences became a part of the game -- when a vine-embowered gate-post was the Sleeping Beauty's enchanted castle, or when Rapunzel let down her golden hair from beneath the crocketed spire, even then we paid little heed to those who went by on the path outside.

The street that is full now of traffic and parked cars then and for many years drowsed on an August afternoon in the shade of the curbside trees, and silence was a weight, almost palpable, in the air.

For the occasion on which everyone already knows everyone else and the host wishes them to meet one or a few honored newcomers, then the `` open house '' system is advantageous because the honored guests are fixed connective points and the drifting guests make and break connections at the door.

The distracted Miriam would agree to a settlement through her legal representative, then change her mind and make another attack on Wright as a person.

Gross stopped briefly, then went on.

On this issue, then, as on so many in these months, Steele and Swift took rigidly opposed points of view.

He paused for a moment to look at me, then went on to the city desk to deliver his `` Today '' column.

Finally, Mama did mention to Mrs. Coolidge that she felt sorry for the little dogs, and then Mrs. Coolidge decided to leave the radio on for them while she was gone, even though her husband disapproved of the waste of electricity.

`` I must then be standing on the line between France and Germany ''.

`` Ah, then please tell me where the frontier is because this gentleman here '' -- I indicated the French occupation officer -- `` informs me that Germany is just on the other side of him ''.

He was then noting that the big eye on the little newt hung back until the little eye had grown up to it, while the little eye on the big newt grew rapidly until it was as big as the other.

However Abdul is a common Arabic prefix meaning " Servant of the " and " Al " is Arabic for " the ", and if " hazra " means " he prohibited ", " he fenced in " or " Great Lord ", then the name would mean " Servant of the Prohibited ", " Servant of the Fenced in ", or " Servant of the Great Lord " which would make sense considering his role, even if it is not a proper Arabic name.

Where A has a greater priority than B according to the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog priority rule, the configuration of the axial chirality can be determined by considering the top, then the bottom.

Often one assumes a priori that the algebra under consideration is unital: for one can develop much of the theory by considering and then applying the outcome in the original algebra.

Briefly, if we consider a morphism between two objects as a " process taking us from one object to another ", then higher-dimensional categories allow us to profitably generalize this by considering " higher-dimensional processes ".

The Bolzano – Weierstrass theorem gives an equivalent condition for sequential compactness when considering subsets of Euclidean space: a set then is compact if and only if it is closed and bounded.

These data are then matched to census records and the number of people missed can be estimated by considering the number missed in the census or survey but counted in the other.

If is satisfiable in a structure M, then, considering, we see that is satisfiable as well.

If we are considering multiple operations on a set, then all operations must be preserved for a function to be considered as a homomorphism.

Above all, in time of peace this is fine, but when there is a fear that there may even be a war, then more importantly, considering the welfare of the imperial house, I wonder about the wisdom of a member of the imperial family serving prime minister.

Indicating in 2001 that he would not run for a third term, Chissano criticized leaders who stayed on longer than he had, which was generally seen as a reference to Zambian president Frederick Chiluba, who at the time was considering a third term, and Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe, then in his fourth term.

A number a is a root of P if and only if the polynomial x − a ( of degree one in x ) divides P. It may happen that x − a divides P more than once: if ( x − a )< sup > 2 </ sup > divides P then a is called a multiple root of P, and otherwise a is called a simple root of P. If P is a nonzero polynomial, there is a highest power m such that ( x − a )< sup > m </ sup > divides P, which is called the multiplicity of the root a in P. When P is the zero polynomial, the corresponding polynomial equation is trivial, and this case is usually excluded when considering roots: with the above definitions every number would be a root of the zero polynomial, with undefined ( or infinite ) multiplicity.

Since then, ties have been broken by considering the points difference of the teams.

Their views are scattered throughout the Marx / Engels Collected Works and address past or the then extant state forms from an analytical or tactical viewpoint, not future social forms, speculation about which is generally anathema to groups considering themselves Marxist but who, not having conquered the existing state power ( s ) are not in the situation of supplying the institutional form of an actual society.

With that improvement, the team was sold to Robert Kraft in January 1994 for a ( then ) record price of $ 200, 000, 000 — an astonishing price considering the Pats had generally been considered a laughing-stock and second rate team, had the worst stadium in the league, and couldn't sell out save for select home games resulting in most games going without television coverage — sports in New England centered on the beloved Bruins, Celtics and Red Sox, not the NFL team orphaned in remote Foxborough, Massachusetts, forty miles outside Boston.

If a tax is paid on outsourced services that is not also charged on services performed for oneself, then it may be cheaper to perform the services oneself than to pay someone elseeven considering losses in economic efficiency.

If crossover occurs once, then on average ( 4²² ) ² = 309x10 < sup > 24 </ sup > genetically different zygotes are possible for every couple, not considering that crossover events can take place at most points along each chromosome.

When considering the power gain for a particular direction given by an elevation ( or " altitude ") and azimuth, then:

All associated workflows are then considering ensemble of realizations, and consequently ensemble of predictions that allow for probabilistic forecasting.

For example, if we are considering a period of two years, and the investment return in the first year is − 10 % and the return in the second year is + 60 %, then the average percentage return or CAGR, R, can be obtained by solving the equation:.

More abstract semantics are then derived ; for instance, one may consider only the set of reachable states in the executions ( which amounts to considering the last states in finite traces ).

Page then focused on the problem of finding out which web pages link to a given page, considering the number and nature of such backlinks to be valuable information about that page, with the role of citations in academic publishing in mind.

Rivers was then to take on the role of examiner and chart the regeneration of the nerves, considering the structure and functions of the nervous system from an evolutionary standpoint through a series of " precise and untiring observations " over a period of five years.

In an interview on CNN's The Situation Room on April 7, 2008, Ventura hinted that he was considering entering the race for the United States Senate seat then held by Norm Coleman, his Republican opponent in the 1998 Gubernatorial race.

They transformed the square tiling into an equivalent electrical circuit — they called it " Smith diagram " — by considering the squares as resistors that connected to their neighbors at their top and bottom edges, and then applied Kirchhoff's circuit laws and circuit decomposition techniques to that circuit.
