When the wax surrounding the nail melts, the nail clatters onto a plate below.

SJ I think it's under my right hand.

So, now you don't know where the spike is, and I don't know where it is either, OK.

KB Now, Steve, do you think it's here? Yes or no?

Now, Steve, you know where the spike is, but nobody else, does? Correct?

Do you think the spike is under your left hand, or under your right hand?

In our mind, the relevant metric is student to valuable human time with the teacher ratio.

The People's Republic of China implemented metric RVSM on 21 November 2007.

In mathematics, a metric space is a set for which distances between all members of the set are defined.

A metric space with the bounded coarse structure is bounded (as a coarse space) if and only if it is bounded (as a metric space).

The death knell for the Spanish Empire in the Americas was Napoleon's invasion of the Iberian peninsula in 1808.

Recent developments in molecular biology have put the final nail in the coffin of traditional genetic determinism.

Yocto (symbol y) is a unit prefix in the metric system denoting a factor of 10 24 or .

Zepto (symbol z) is a unit prefix in the metric system denoting a factor of 10 21 or .

Atto (symbol a) is a unit prefix in the metric system denoting a factor of 10 18 or .

It turns the set of non empty compact subsets of a metric space into a metric space in its own right.

Don't move the cups, because I don't want anybody to see where the spike is, but give the plinths an extra mix up, and then line them up, like this, all right?

From its beginning, the main features of the metric system were the standard set of inter related base units and a standard set of prefixes in powers of ten.

The final sales price is 5 per 25 kilogram bag or 200 per metric ton (at the port of Kismaayo).

Iraq further states that, although the chosen metric is theoretically valid, Kuwait has made many assumptions without sufficient justification in applying it.

In the bounded coarse structure, these sets are the bounded sets, and the functions are the ones that are a finite distance from the identity in the uniform metric.

Furthermore, the permanent representative of the National Transitional Government of Liberia to the International Maritime Organization in London, under the instructions of the Commissioner, Bureau of Maritime Affairs, gave 15,000 in cash to Agnes Reeves Taylor in May June 2004 out of the proceeds received as a dividend from the investment in INMARSAT Ventures PLC.

KB OK. Now, Steve, I'm going to stand in front of the table, OK. When I stand in front of the table, I want you to put the cups on the plinths, like this, in any order you want, and then mix them all up, so nobody has any idea where the spike is, all right?

But even a purely rhetorical structure would probably sound the death knell of the OAS, and weaken its human rights instruments, which have proved increasingly valuable and effective.

While I do not believe that a West Bank Jordan confederation could ever be a viable option, it might be the last nail in the coffin of a two state solution.

And the euro s appreciation in recent years driven in part by the European Central Bank s excessively tight monetary policy was the final nail in the competitiveness coffin.

Antiquarian Although the movement is towards the international standard metric paper sizes, on the way there from the traditional ones there has been at least one new size just a little larger than that used internationally.

It is the everyday system of weight used in the United States and is still used to varying degrees in everyday life in the United Kingdom, Canada, the Republic of Ireland, and some other former British colonies despite the official adoption of the metric system.

Metre Convention (, also known as the Treaty of the Metre) is an international treaty, signed in Paris on 20 May 1875 by representatives of 17 nations which set up an institute for the purpose of coordinating international metrology and for coordinating the development of the metric system.

The EFE can then be written as formula_10Using geometrized units where G c 1, this can be rewritten as formula_11The expression on the left represents the curvature of spacetime as determined by the metric the expression on the right represents the matter energy content of spacetime.
