Sir Sir is an honorific address used in a number of situations in many Anglophone cultures. The term can be used as a formal prefix, especially in the Commonwealth, for men who have been given certain honours or titles (such as knights and baronets), where usage is strictly governed by law and custom. The term is also commonly used as a respectful way to address a man, usually of superior social status or holding a commissioned military rank. Equivalent terms of address for women are 'ma'am' or 'madam' in most cases, or in the case of an unmarried woman, 'miss'.

In the Northeast United States, particularly New England, there remains influence of both the British and French traditions as noted above; in general parlance, teachers, authority-figures, and so forth, are referred to by a title of respect such as 'Sir' for males and 'Miss, Ms, or Mrs' for females: 'Miss' for unmarried, younger-females; 'Ms' for senior, elder, or ranking females that may or may not be married (see article Ms/Mrs/Miss); and 'Mrs' for married or widowed females.

However, both the difference in likelihood of reporting noted above, and the relative strength difference between males and females, could be factors in this reporting bias, as males may be more likely to injure females in otherwise equivalent circumstances. The problem of under-reporting to police is believed to be substantial. However, estimates about how much domestic violence is not reported vary widely. It must also be remembered that a significant amount of non-domestic violence crime is also not reported to police. Depending on what statistics are chosen, anywhere between a tenth of incidents and nothing significantly less than what would

At the time, the definition for "binge drinking" corresponded to 7 or more standard Australian drinks per occasion for males and 5 or more for females, roughly equivalent to (but slightly less than) the 5/4 (standard American) drinks definition. In March 2008, the Australian government earmarked A$53 million towards a campaign against binge drinking, citing two studies done in the past eight years which showed that binge drinking in Australia was at what Prime Minister Kevin Rudd called "epidemic levels".

Carr dismissed the free will arguments made by Sir Karl Popper and Sir Isaiah Berlin as Cold War propaganda meant to discredit communism. In a similar way, Carr took a hostile view of those historians who stress the workings of chance and contingency in the workings of history. In Carr's view, such historians did not understand their craft very well, or were in some way identified with the "losers" of history. Carr claimed that when examining causation in history, historians should seek to find "rational" causes of historical occurrences, that

It has been argued that the ability of the human brain by far exceeds what is needed for survival on the savanna. One explanation could be that the human brain and associated traits (such as artistic ability and creativity) are the equivalent of the peacock's tail for humans. According to this theory superior execution of art was important because it attracted mates.

The British Foreign Office was strongly pro-Chinese and as Rothwell noted, Sir Robert Craigie, the British Ambassador in Tokyo was "...slapped down when in late 1938 he advocated what, in effect, would have been a Far Eastern equivalent of Munich". The pro-Chinese sympathies of the Foreign Office were reflected in the greater respect given to the Sinophile Ambassador to China Sir Archibald Clark Kerr, despite the strait-laced Japanophile Craigie being a far more traditional British diplomat than the flamboyant, hard-drinking and very actively bisexual Clark Kerr.

It is the national cup competition for "junior" sides, the equivalent of the Camanachd Cup for those sides in lower league competition. The current (2017) holders are Lochside Rovers. The trophy was donated by Sir William Sutherland M.P. in order to allow "junior" (i.e. small clubs) the opportunity for national competition and was first played for in 1923 with Newtonmore defeating North Bute 3-2.

Selection on these alleles acts according to the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and mating success is equivalent among all three morphs. The alpha males, who are homozygous for the alpha allele, mate with many females in a harem. The females prefer to aggregate with other females in the harem, which gives the alpha male a bigger selection of mating partners. Shuster (1992) looked at the behaviour and relationship of each morph with respect to the harem and found

It is used as an honorific (roughly equivalent to Mr) before the name (first name and surname, only surname, or only first name) and as a form of address without the name (roughly equivalent to "Sir"). Use of "Pan" with the first name in Poland marks a combination of familiarity and respect. Unlike "Sir", Pan is used both ways between persons of both equal and unequal rank (a waiter will address a guest as "Pan", and the customer reciprocates, much like using "Monsieur" in French). Using "Pan" with only the first name is regarded as a disrespectful way

Herra Herra means "Lord" in Finnish and "Sir" in Icelandic. It is now generally used in Finnish as an honorific for all men, the equivalent to the English titles "Mister," "Sir," and "gentleman". In the Finnish Defence Forces, a superior is addressed with "herra" (or in case of a female superior, "rouva") followed by the rank of the superior. The address starts the conversation but is not repeated. For example, "herra luutnantti" is the same address as "Lieutenant Sir!" Written "herra Halonen" or "hra Halonen", the plural is "herrat". This formal form of address is rare, used in the army

Ebu gogo The Ebu Gogo are a group of human-like creatures that appear in the mythology of Flores, Indonesia. In the Nage language of central Flores, "ebu" means "grandmother" and "gogo" means "he who eats anything". A colloquial English equivalent might be something like "old glutton". The Nage people of Flores describe the Ebu Gogo as walkers and fast runners around 1.5 m tall. They reportedly had wide and flat noses, broad faces with large mouths and hairy bodies. The females also had "long, pendulous breasts". They were said to have murmured in what was assumed to be their own

In 1907 Albert Einstein, in what was described by him as ""the happiest thought of my life"", realized that an observer who is falling from the roof of a house experiences no gravitational field. In other words, gravitation was exactly equivalent to acceleration. Between 1911 and 1915 this idea, initially stated as the equivalence principle, was formally developed into Einstein's theory of general relativity. In 1687, English mathematician Sir Isaac

The equivalent term for a knighted woman or baronetess is Dame, while the title 'Lady' is used for the wife of a knight or baronet. 'Sir' derives from the honorific title "sire", used in Spanish, Italian, French, German, and Swedish. "Sire" developed alongside the word "seigneur", also used to refer to a feudal lord. Both derived from the Vulgar Latin , "sire" comes from the nominative case declension and "seigneur", the accusative case declension . The form 'Sir' is first documented in English in 1297, as title of honour of a knight, and latterly a baronet, being a variant of

An equivalent formula uses the inverse of the logit function, which is the logistic function, i.e.: The formula can also be written as a probability distribution (specifically, using a probability mass function): The above model has an equivalent formulation as a latent-variable model. This formulation is common in the theory of discrete choice models, and makes it easier to extend to certain more complicated models with multiple, correlated choices, as well as to compare logistic regression to the closely related probit model.

such as: "What probability to win $2 is equivalent to $1?". So to assess the function "r", we have to ask a question such as: "What probability to win 2 units of value is equivalent to 1 value?". The latter question is much harder to answer than the former, since it involves "value", which is an abstract quantity. A possible solution is to calculate "n" one-dimensional cardinal utility functions - one for each attribute. For example, suppose there are two attributes: apples (formula_11) and bananas (formula_12), both range between 0 and 99. Using VNM, we can calculate the following 1-dimensional

As age increases, this difference becomes clearer as 40% of females aged 14–17 are enrolled and only 29% of males of the same age are enrolled. Thus, males are more likely than females to drop out of school. MLB scouts are especially prevalent in the Dominican Republic.

BRET value corresponding to a dose of radiation is the number of days of average background dose it is equivalent to. It is calculated from the equivalent dose in sieverts by dividing by the average annual background radiation dose in Sv, and multiplying by 365: The definition of the BRET unit is apparently unstandardized, and depends on what value is used for the average annual background radiation dose, which varies greatly across time and location. The 2000 UNSCEAR estimate for worldwide average natural background radiation dose is 2.4 mSv (240 mrem), with a range from 1 to 13 mSv. A

The 1850 U.S. California Census, the first census that included all non-Indian people, showed only about 7,019 females with 4,165 non-Indian females older than 15 in the state. To this should be added about 1,300 women older than 15 from San Francisco, Santa Clara, and Contra Costa counties whose censuses were lost and not included in the totals. This gives about 5,500 females older than 15 in a total California non-Indian population of about 120,000 residents in 1850 or about 4.5% female. The

The female "P. striatula" with the largest ovaries becomes the dominant female of the colony. The dominant females are the ones that lay eggs and stay on the nest for the longest periods of times. The non-dominant females are usually the ones to construct the nest. They also forage for food and mud, which they use to build the nest. The females are also very attentive to wasps approaching their nest, which they greet with either antennations and/or bites.

An example of warrior chivalry in medieval literature is Sir Gawain (King Arthur's nephew and a Knight of the Round Table) in "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" (late 14th century). Since the early modern period, the title of knight is purely honorific, usually bestowed by a monarch, often for non-military service to the country. The modern female equivalent in the UK is damehood. The ceremony often takes place at Buckingham Palace, and family members are invited to attend. A few examples of knights

This is directly equivalent to French practice where the possessive "Mon" is pre-pended to the addressee's rank.
