1.610033 | 2.169949 | 62 | Take the 2-minute tour × Most linguists recognize two tenses in
English, present and past, although other verb forms are often
mistakenly described as tenses. I walk is present tense and I
walked is past tense. A form such as I am walking would be
described not as the present progressive tense, but as a
construction expressing progressive aspect, and made up of the
present tense of be and the –ing form of walk. In other words,
to qualify as a tense, an English verb form has to show
inflectional variation. Books for foreign learners of German,
in my experience, describe as tenses all finite verb forms, even
though only the present and imperfect show inflectional
variation. Here’s my question: Do German professional linguists
also describe all verb forms as tenses, or do they recognize
that Ich bin gegangen, for example, is best understood in terms
of aspect? share|improve this question Who says it's mistaken.
These are called "compound tenses". I think you're confusing

of the wire on the analog side. The last item on the wire is the
sensor, or effector, which is subject to errors as well. It's
important to mention these errors because they affect the value
the I/O unit reports or sends. It's a ``garbage in, garbage
out'' affair. I'll quickly review the possible measurement
errors. Sensors and effectors are affected by the same accuracy
and linearity issues as analog-digital converters. Measurement
accuracy is typically a calibration issue. Calibration is a
procedure to verify that the measurement corresponds to the
reported value. Drift is long-term deviation that causes errors
in the measurement value. Drift may be caused by degradation of
a sensor's components or life-cycle fatigue of a system. Sensor
and effector performance also may be subject to environmental
factors such as temperature or humidity. It's important to read

The number of refugees from the former Soviet Union allowed to
enter the United States has been cut, but not as drastically as
originally sought by the Clinton administration. Out of 83,000
admissions authorized for refugees worldwide, 26,000 will be
allotted to refugees from the former Soviet Union — 4,000 fewer
than were authorized this past year. The administration had
proposed to reduce the numbers by nearly a third for the fiscal
year that began Oct. 1, but last week agreed to add an
additional 5,000 slots. Refugees from the former Soviet Union
include Jews and persecuted Christian minorities, both of whom
are allowed to immigrate to the United States under eased
criteria. Jewish refugee advocates, who were greatly disturbed
by the administration’s original proposal, hailed the decision

combinations and silent consonants. CONSONANT COMBINATIONS CAN
BE very confusing. There are no hard-and-fast rules for the
combinations. The best way to learn how to spell words with
tricky combinations is to memorize them. There are ways to make
the memorization easier, however. Digraphs and Trigraphs Many
consonant combinations—called digraphs and trigraphs— are
pronounced as one sound. Digraphs are two-letter combinations
and trigraphs are three-letter combinations pronounced as one
sound. Let's take a look at the most common digraphs and
trigraphs. The sound that each makes is noted in parentheses.
Consonant Combinations As you can see, some of these
combinations create sounds that are quite different from the way
they look. In fact, some of the combinations are pretty strange!

9 tough critics where they live On the first weekend after the
terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon,
the most popular movie in America--perhaps only coincidentally--
was the story of scrappy Chicago kids playing baseball. This is
a review of that box-office hit by nine experts: Jimmie,
Marques, Javon, Larry, Jesse, Kyle, Deontay, Joshua and Curtis.
It's Wednesday afternoon and the movie critics--who also happen
to be players on the Zulus Little League team in Cabrini-Green--
sit in the Webster Place theaters gazing at a version of their
lives known as "Hardball." Based on Daniel Coyle's book about a
Cabrini Little League team much like the Zulus, the movie stars
Keanu Reeves as a gambler who survives on pizza, chutzpah, Old
Style and Lucky Strikes. He reluctantly agrees to coach a team
of African-American kids to help pay his gambling debts. Right
now, up on the screen, a bartender threatens him with a bat.

Think gun control failed in the Senate because of gun-clutching

the Second Amendment? Senator Joe Manchin, who's been at the
heart of the effort, says it's nothing of the sort. In fact, the
central problem really has nothing to do with firearms at all --
it's about trust. When he speaks to gun owners, "they're scared

Manchin, a West Virginia Democrat. He made the remarks during an

To do that, we have to invest in these things. So I call this

is scientific knowledge—that there is no reliably objective,
rational form of inquiry that is not a branch of science. It is
a key ingredient of the work of New Atheist writers like Richard
Dawkins and the late Christopher Hitchens, and its proponents
dismiss philosophy's and theology's claims to provide
distinctive but equally rational and objective avenues to truth.
But the view faces a notorious problem: scientism is not itself
a scientific thesis, but a metaphysical one. Hence it is either
self-defeating, or implies so broad a construal of what is
allowed to count as "science" that the claim that all real

is a sweet, almond-flavoured, Italian liqueur. It is made from a
base of apricot pits or almonds, sometimes both.[1] The name
is a diminutive of the Italian amaro, meaning "bitter,"
indicating the distinctive flavour lent by the mandorla

bitterness is not unpalatable, and the flavour is enhanced by
sweeteners, and sometimes sweet almonds, in the final

So last month my roommate introduced me to Snapchat. I was
immediately hooked. What an ingenious way to send pics of

Snapchat is an app that allows you to take a pic of whatever you
want, send it for a few seconds, then have it dissapear. Risky
pictures constantly get people in trouble, and its high time
that an app was made that allows people the ability to send a
picture without having to worry if it'll later be used against
them. You can also insert text and use a coloring pencil once

-0.837142 | 3.160016 | -1 | Earthquake Hazards 101 - the Basics What is earthquake hazard?
Earthquake ground shaking varies from place to place and the
hazard mapping in this project will show this variability. The
mapped hazard refers to an estimate of the probability of
exceeding a certain amount of ground shaking, or ground motion,
in 50 years. The hazard depends on the magnitudes and locations
of likely earthquakes, how often they occur, and the properties
of the rocks and sediments that earthquake waves travel through.
What are hazard maps? The National Hazard Maps show the
distribution of earthquake shaking levels that have a certain
probability of occurring in the United States. These maps were
created to provide the most accurate and detailed information
possible to assist engineers in designing buildings, bridges,
highways, and utilities that will withstand shaking from
earthquakes in the United States. These maps are used to create
and update the building codes that are now used by more than
20,000 cities, counties, and lo |

Physiological or pathological chemokines CA Michie a Arnout Jan
de Beaufort and colleagues (July 11, p 102)1 propose that
bioactive interleukin 8 (IL-8) from meconium might contribute to
the pathology in the lung of infants after meconium aspiration.
The study is fascinating because it indicates one of the great
challenges of chemokine biology—when are these substances
pathological? An initial criticism of the investigation is that
the researchers could have used normal amniotic fluid as a
further control for their in-vitro experiments. Normal amniotic
fluid contains IL-8 and should have been used as one of the
baselines for their experiments.2 The lack of a dose-response
curve of meconium concentration and neutrophil chemotaxis leads
to a second critical observation: the investigators limit their
studies to neutrophils. IL-8 is chemotactic in vitro an |
0.551558 | 9.800105 | 16 | Take the 2-minute tour × Years ago, I wrote a code template
that took a few simple parameters (points) and produced a class
skeleton. Since some of the method bodies had code in them, I
couldn't call InvokeClassCompletion and just placed the
implementations with the declarations (user had to move them).
It has occurred to me that I can write a code template script
engine to insert these methods in the correct position, but I
don't see how I'm supposed to navigate the file. There are
declarations for IOTAEditReader and IOTAEditWriter in
ToolsAPI.pas, but I'm guessing there is a step missing -
certainly I don't need to manually parse the Delphi code just to
find the implementation section? Does anyone have experience
with it? share|improve this question add comment 2 Answers up

but not one is made available for IDE plugins (ToolsAPI). So you
have to write your own parser or use an existing one like

fell to the floor and he picked it up. The act of restoring it
brought them close together, and their talk had, he felt,
justified another searching glance into her face. She nodded
her thanks, smiling again, and moved toward the door. He
admired the tact which had caused her to close the discussion at
precisely the safe moment. He was a master of the art of
closing interviews, and she had placed the period at the end of
the right sentence; it was where he would have placed it
himself. She had laughed!—and the novelty of being laughed at
was refreshing. He and Thatcher had laughed in secret at the
confusion of their common enemies in old times; but most men
feared him, and he had the reputation of being a mirthless

skills are more important than the ability to make fire. Fire
keeps you warm, cooks your food, can serve as an emergency
beacon and generally improves your morale. I've always been
interested in low-tech, traditional methods of fire making,
since they never run out of lighter fluid and, unlike matches,
can still operate when wet. Some methods definitely work better
than others. My record with a fire bow is very poor, and not for

Fixed it for you: Human ES cells don't come from aborted
fetuses. They come from fertilized embryos (human babies) of
only a few hundred cells (that aren't allowed to grow larger)
that are fertilized in a petri dish (basically). So these
"fertilized embryos" are grown in petri dishes, they are only
allowed to grow to a few hundred cells, then they are
"harvested" for stem cell use. Sounds like an abortion from the
get go. What part of that seems morally acceptable to you? It's
so ridiculous, save the whales - start |

PM ET If all goes according to current reports, some time in
September, the Palestinian Authority will submit a resolution
declaring statehood to the Security Council of the United
Nations. While the United States and possibly other Council
members are widely expected to veto the resolution, the PA may
take its case to the General Assembly, where the US does not
have a veto. A vote in support of the resolution there, while
not binding, would pave the way for member nations to recognize
a Palestinian state. This is a highly charged and controversial
matter in the U.S., no more so than for two groups, American
Jews and Arab-Americans. The pending resolution is already
splitting the American Jewish community, with many actively
engaged in efforts to secure a US veto of the Security Council
resolution, and some arguing that recognition of a Palestinian

-2.146945 | 4.096205 | -1 | India to aid Ethiopia in implementing customs valuation system
Addis Ababa, June 16 (IANS) India will provide technical
assistance to Ethiopia on implementation of a WTO compliant
customs valuation system in the east African country, where
weaknesses in tax collection are hampering economic development.
The Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC) has signed an
agreement with the Ethiopian Revenue and Customs Authority
(ERCA) for technical assistance to the landlocked country
located on the Horn of Africa. The decision comes after nine
months of talks between the two. The agreement was signed June
13 in the presence of Melaku Fenta, director general of ERCA,
and Bhagwant S. Bishnoi, Indian envoy to Ethiopia. As WTO
states, the customs valuation system primarily bases the customs
value on the transaction value of imported goods, which is the
price actually paid or payable for the goods when sold for
export to the country of importation, with certain adjustments.
