No one was behind it, but in the rear wall of the office I noticed, for the first time, a door which had been left partially open.

Barton waited for a long moment, then asked the question which lay always uppermost in his mind.

All of her movements were careful and methodical, partaking of the stealth of a criminal who has plotted his felony for months in advance and knows exactly which step to take next in the course of the final execution of his crime.

She seemed to have come such a long distance -- too far for her destination which had wilfully been swallowed up in the greedy gloom of the trees.

He studied the problem for a few seconds and thought of a means by which it might be solved.

As for states' rights, they have never counted in the thinking of my liberal friends except as irritations of a minor and immoral nature which exist now only as anachronisms.

This was particularly true in the world arena, which was an anarchical battleground characterized by strife and avaricious competition for colonial empires.

Of greater importance, however, is the content of those programs, which have had and are having enormous consequences for the American people.

For better or for worse, we all now live in welfare states, the organizing principle of which is collective responsibility for individual well-being.

I have just asked these questions in the Pentagon, in the White House, in offices of key scientists across the country and aboard the submarines that prowl for months underwater, with neat rows of green launch tubes which contain Polaris missiles and which are affectionately known as `` Sherwood Forest ''.

They are huge areas which have been swept by winds for so many centuries that there is no soil left, but only deep bare ridges fifty or sixty yards apart with ravines between them thirty or forty feet deep and the only thing that moves is a scuttling layer of sand.

Others are confined to vast reservations, and not only does the Australian government justifiably not wish them to be viewed as exhibits in a zoo, but on their reservations they are extremely fugitive, shunning camps, coming together only for corroborees at which their strange culture comes to its highest pitch -- which is very low indeed.

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.

There were two rubbing sticks for making fire, two stones shaped roughly like knives, a woven-root container which held a few pounds of dried worms and the dead body of some rodent.

It was a fortunate time in which to build, for the seventeenth century was a great period in Persian art.

Isfahan became more of a legend than a place, and now it is for many people simply a name to which they attach their notions of old Persia and sometimes of the East.

But even for them it remains a museum, or perhaps it would be more accurate to say a tomb, a tomb in which Persia lies well preserved but indeed dead.

But the South is, and has been for the past century, engaged in a wide-sweeping urbanization which, oddly enough, is not reflected in its literature.

As for progress, the `` backward South '' can boast of Baton Rouge, which increased its population between 1940 and 1950 by two hundred and sixty-two percent, to 126,000, the second largest growth of the period for all cities over 25,000.

Markov's inequality states that for any real-valued random variable Y and any positive number a, we have Pr (| Y | > a ) ≤ E (| Y |)/ a.

Markov's inequality gives an upper bound for the measure of the set ( indicated in red ) where exceeds a given level.

In probability theory, Markov's inequality gives an upper bound for the probability that a non-negative function of a random variable is greater than or equal to some positive constant.

Markov's inequality ( and other similar inequalities ) relate probabilities to expectations, and provide ( frequently ) loose but still useful bounds for the cumulative distribution function of a random variable.

By an application of Markov's inequality, a Las Vegas algorithm can be converted into a Monte Carlo algorithm via early termination ( assuming the algorithm structure provides for such a mechanism ).

For finite games, and games where the appropriate instance of Markov's rule can be constructively established by means of bar induction, then the non-constructive proof of a winning strategy for the first player can be converted into a winning strategy.

He made his debut for Plamen Markov's Bulgaria in a friendly against Spain on 20 November 2002, when he was a CSKA Sofia player, coming on as a second half substitute during 0 – 1 defeat at Los Cármenes in Granada.

Samuel's successful defence of the Israelites against their enemies demonstrates that they have no need for a king ( who will, moreover, introduce inequality ), yet despite this the people demand a king.

for a black hole of mass M. Black holes saturating this inequality are called extremal.

If the exponent r is even, then the inequality is valid for all real numbers x.

An alternate form of Bernoulli's inequality for and is:

This proves inequality for case.

This proves inequality for case.

This is an infinite sum which has one summand for every p in the domain of F. The requirement that the domain be prefix-free, together with Kraft's inequality, ensures that this sum converges to a real number between 0 and 1.

The results for higher moments follow from Hölder's inequality, which implies that higher moments ( or halves of moments ) diverge if lower ones do.

However, for this to be true, one would expect economic inequality to also be a significant factor in rebellions, which it is not.

" Focusing upon Adair v. U. S. ( 1908 ), which invalidated another law regulating labor contracts, he berated the Court for not recognizing the " practical conditions of inequality.

where ζ denotes the Riemann zeta function ( see Lehmer ; one approach to prove the inequality is to obtain the Fourier series for the polynomials B < sub > n </ sub >).

It is considered to be a personal responsibility for Muslims to ease economic hardship for others and eliminate inequality.

For instance, in two studies by the American Mosaic Project, racial inequality in the United States was framed as either “ Black Disadvantage ” or “ White Privilege .” When the term “ black disadvantage ” was used to describe racial inequality, white participants felt less collectively responsible for the harm done to the out-group, which lessened collective guilt.

The Gini coefficient measures the inequality among values of a frequency distribution ( for example levels of income ).

A Gini coefficient of one ( 100 on the percentile scale ) expresses maximal inequality among values ( for example where only one person has all the income ).

The global income inequality Gini coefficient in 2005, for all human beings taken together, has been estimated to be between 0. 61 and 0. 68 by various sources.

In particular, for, the generalized mean inequality implies the Pythagorean means inequality as well as the inequality of arithmetic and geometric means.

Known for recognizing inequality with marginalised groups including women and Māori using geography.

Stated in mathematical terms, for the Cassie – Baxter state to exist, the following inequality must be true.

Arguments for eliminating the disparagement of inheritance inequality include the right to property and the merit of individual allocation of capital over government wealth confiscation and redistribution.

Rousseau, a deteriorationist, proposed that, except perhaps for brief moments of balance, at or near its inception, when a relative equality among men prevailed, human civilization has always been artificial, creating inequality, envy, and unnatural desires.
