It has nothing of the proud stride of the trained runner about it, it is not a lope, it is not done with style or verve.

Steinberg spoke with warmth and enthusiasm about Italy: `` Rome is my second home.

Or is it relevant because it teaches us something useful to know about ourselves??

In the work of every artist, I suppose, there may be found one or more moments which strike the student as absolutely decisive, ultimately emblematic of what it is all about ; ;

And if I have gone into so much detail about so small a work, that is because it is also so typical a work, representing the germinal form of a conflict which remains essential in Mann's writing: the crude sketch of Piepsam contains, in its critical, destructive and self-destructive tendencies, much that is enlarged and illuminated in the figures of, for instance, Naphta and Leverkuhn.

I'm talking about the grand manner of the Liberal -- North and South -- who is not affected personally.

Robert Penn Warren puts it this way in `` Brother To Dragons '': `` The recognition of complicity is the beginning of innocence '', where innocence, I think, means about the same thing as redemption.

Especially touching is the chapter, `` The Little Sister '', about a king's daughter who became a nun in the convent of St. Birgitta.

The dweller at p is last to hear about a new cure, the slowest to announce to his neighbors his urgent distresses, the one who goes the farthest to trade, and the one with the greatest difficulty of all in putting over an idea or getting people to join him in a cooperative effort.

The assumptions upon which the example shown in Figure 3 is based are: ( A ) One man can direct about six subordinates if the subordinates are chosen carefully so that they do not need too much personal coaching, indoctrinating, etc..

( B ) A message runs too great a risk of being distorted if it is to be relayed more than about six consecutive times.

So we see that a specialist is a man who knows more and more about less and less as he develops, as contrasted to the generalist, who knows less and less about more and more.

* Non-exempt – Generally an employee paid by the hour who is entitled to a minimum wage, overtime pay at the rate of time and one-half the regular rate for all hours worked in excess of 40 hours per week or according to state labor laws, as well as other protections under child labor and equal pay laws.

( where again a and b are one-half of the ellipse's major and minor axes respectively, and f is the focal distance ) or, as expressed in terms using the flattening factor

The area enclosed by an ellipse is πab, where a and b are one-half of the ellipse's major and minor axes respectively.

The Redlich – Kwong equation is adequate for calculation of gas phase properties when the ratio of the pressure to the critical pressure ( reduced pressure ) is less than about one-half of the ratio of the temperature to the critical temperature ( reduced temperature ):

It has been estimated that approximately one-half of the cases is due to a genetic mutation and the pattern of inheritance is most consistent with autosomal dominant transmission.

A notable physical difference between these metals is their density, with zirconium having about one-half the density of hafnium.

Helium-3 has less than one-half of the density when it is at its boiling point: 5. 9 gram per liter compared to the 12. 5 gram perliter of helium-4 -- at a pressure of one atmosphere.

Similarly, if one connects two electrical resistors in parallel, one having resistance x ( e. g. 60Ω ) and one having resistance y ( e. g. 40Ω ), then the effect is the same as if one had used two resistors with the same resistance, both equal to the harmonic mean of x and y ( 48Ω ): the equivalent resistance in either case is 24Ω ( one-half of the harmonic mean ).

His election needs a wide majority that is progressively reduced from two-thirds to one-half plus one of the votes as the ballots progress.

But he is not very clear how " the sacrifice and the libation shall be taken away " during the " half-week ," or three and one-half years of the Antichrist's reign.

Metallic radius is defined as one-half of the distance between the two adjacent metal ions in the metallic lattice.

Within our own galaxy, molecular gas accounts for less than one percent of the volume of the interstellar medium ( ISM ), yet it is also the densest part of the medium comprising roughly one-half of the total gas mass interior to the Sun's galactic orbit.

Oral analgesic potency is one-half to one-third that of codeine, with 65 mg approximately equivalent to about 600 mg of aspirin.

Wintermute's nature is finally revealed — it is one-half of a super-AI entity planned by the family, although its exact purpose is unknown.

The simplest form of the cut is done by taking, roughly, the top one-half of the cards, and placing them on the table or a cut card.

The distance is one-half the product of the round trip time ( because the signal has to travel to the target and then back to the receiver ) and the speed of the signal.

Age distribution also is uneven ; nearly one-half of the Togolese are less than 15 years of age.

Assuming that the masses are constant, the virial G is one-half the time derivative of this moment of inertia

While a four-stroke piston engine makes one combustion stroke per cylinder for every two rotations of the crankshaft ( that is, one-half power stroke per crankshaft rotation per cylinder ), each combustion chamber in the Wankel generates one combustion stroke per driveshaft rotation, i. e. one power stroke per rotor orbital revolution and three power strokes per rotor rotation.

But there's one thing I never seen or heard of, one thing I just don't think there is, and that's a sportin' way o' killin' a man ''!!

I seized the rack and made a western-style flying-mount just in time, one of my knees mercifully landing on my duffel bag -- and merely wrecking my camera, I was to discover later -- my other knee landing on the slivery truck floor boards and -- but this is no medical report.

The true artist is like one of those scientists who, from a single bone can reconstruct an animal's entire body.

In fact, one important aspect of their very religion is the annihilation of men ''.

It took thirty of our women almost six moons to build this one, which is higher and stronger than the old one.

I clapped the big man with the bleached hair on his shoulder and said heartily, hoping it would make an impression on the women: `` This one is the maku Frayne.

`` This one is a tender chicken, oui??

but he presents it publicly so enmeshed in hypocrisy that it is not an honest one.

My definition of this much abused adjective is that a reconstructed rebel is one who is glad that the North won the War.

For one thing, this is not a subject often discussed or analyzed.

The general acceptance of the idea of governmental ( i.e., societal ) responsibility for the economic well-being of the American people is surely one of the two most significant watersheds in American constitutional history.

A third, one of at least equal and perhaps even greater importance, is now being traversed: American immersion and involvement in world affairs.

Today, as new nations rise from the former colonial empires, nationalism is one of the hurricane forces loose in the world.

Historically, however, the concept is one that has been of marked benefit to the people of the Western civilizational group.

It is one of the ironic quirks of history that the viability and usefulness of nationalism and the territorial state are rapidly dissipating at precisely the time that the nation-state attained its highest number ( approximately 100 ).

But it is more than irony: one of the main reasons why nationalism is no longer a tenable concept is because it has spread throughout the planet.

Accidental war is so sensitive a subject that most of the people who could become directly involved in one are told just enough so they can perform their portions of incredibly complex tasks.
