And the center of gravity of that struggle is not just the battlefield.

It is the region to which the world s economic center of gravity is shifting.

If the world s center of gravity shifts to Asia, however, Americans will be woefully unprepared.

It's balancing on a shaft and a ball, right at the center of gravity, or just slightly above the center of gravity, which means that the lower half of the object is just a little bit more weighty.

By selecting the center of gravity as the reference point for a rigid body, the gravity forces will not cause the body to rotate, which means weight of the body can be considered to be concentrated at the center of mass.

Perhaps the most important change is the shift in the region s political and military center of gravity.

As the world s center of economic gravity shifts east, the balance of financial activity is bound to move with it.

The objective is to minimize center of gravity deviation from normal sprinting and reduce time spent flying through the air.

When geo strategic military front lines are non existent, as in Kosovo, Afghanistan, and Iraq, mass no longer equals victory. The great military thinker Carl von Clausewitz s notion of decisive battles as the center of gravity of war is simply irrelevant to conflicts that have no visible center of gravity.

KYIV The world s center of gravity is heading eastward so fast that we Europeans can almost feel the ground moving beneath our feet.

I have long advocated shifting the Bank s center of gravity from lending to outright grants, a policy that the Bush administration strongly endorses.

If the world economy s center of gravity shifts substantially toward developing countries, this will not be a smooth and possibly not even a benign process.

In the future, close cooperation between Germany and France will more than ever form the old and new center of gravity in a blocked EU.

The center of gravity of the remaining Democrats has moved to the left, because the vast majority of defeated Democrats were moderates from swing districts.

After all, the global center of gravity is steadily shifting toward the Asia Pacific, tying America s future prosperity and security ever more closely to this fast growing region.

Emerging markets and developing countries now account for 50 of global GDP and 75 of global growth, and demographics will further accentuate the shift in the center of economic gravity.

If the world s center of gravity shifts to Asia, however, Americans will be woefully unprepared. Many Americans remain shockingly unaware of how much the rest of the world, especially Asia, has progressed.

They are able to respond to gravity, of course, so the shoots are growing against the vector of gravity and the roots toward the vector of gravity.

Ergonomic lifting techniques involve keeping loads close to the body and near the person's center of gravity, using diagonal foot positions, and moving loads at waist height rather than directly from the floor.

Specialists in structural mechanics and structural engineering accept the model of a fire induced, gravity driven collapse of the World Trade Center buildings, an explanation that does not involve the use of explosives.

Tom Shannon's anti gravity sculpture

In an era of limited military specialization, when the number of conscripted cultivators offered the best single indication of military success, Upper Burma with a greater population was the natural center of political gravity.

NEW YORK As Asia emerges from the global economic crisis faster than the rest of the world, it is increasingly clear that the world s center of gravity is shifting from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

The V shaped hulls of the MRAP give it a higher center of gravity and the weight of the MRAP can cause the poorly built or maintained roads in rural Iraq or Afghanistan to collapse.

And each cloud is compacted, gravity gets more powerful as density increases, the temperature begins to rise at the center of each cloud, and then, at the center of each cloud, the temperature crosses the threshold temperature of 10 million degrees, protons start to fuse, there's a huge release of energy, and, bam!

For the past two months, thousands of Lopez Obrador s most fervent supporters have transformed the Zocalo, Mexico City s central square, into a virtual sea of tents the center of gravity of opposition to the official result.

So when I had the chance to give the world's expert in gravity the experience of zero gravity, it was incredible.

Chess is about total victory, a Clausewitzian battle for the center of gravity and the eventual elimination of the enemy, whereas weiqi is a quest for relative advantage through a strategy of encirclement that avoids direct conflict.

As Israel s political center of gravity has shifted to the right, if not the extreme right, one consequence whose long term effects are not sufficiently appreciated is the growing alienation of Arab citizens, who represent 20 of the population.

But it did lead to Newton discovering gravity.

But if I oppose gravity, here we go ... Oops!

General relativity also predicts novel effects of gravity, such as gravitational waves, gravitational lensing and an effect of gravity on time known as gravitational time dilation.

Alternatively (or coincidentally), Russia might discover a new business center of gravity in Central Asia and East Asia, though this would hardly be the liberal empire that Anatoli Chubais once envisaged, for it would be based on the mutual attraction of autocrats.

Earth's surface is situated fairly deep in a gravity well.

Unfortunately, Dubai ultimately proved subject to the laws of financial gravity.

Gravity does not play a role, as it is obvious from the fact that wetting takes place independent of the orientation of the pores relative to the direction of gravity.

Given a model of the density, the gravity measurements at the surface can be predicted but in an inverse problem the gravity measurements are known and the density must be inferred.

And the real price of 9 11 may be the opportunity costs for most of the first decade of this century, as the world economy gradually shifted its center of gravity toward Asia, the US was preoccupied with a mistaken war of choice in the Middle East.

Objections In reality, there are two reasons gravity trains do not exist.

The surface gravity is also high, over 50 times that of Earth.

The hardness is about 5 5.5, and the specific gravity is 2.84.
