Let’s take the threshold REI has established for its rain jackets as an example: a rain jacket is windproof when it can stand up to winds stronger than 60 mph. Wind-resistant Most ultralight rain jackets are only wind-resistant. A wind-resistant jacket easily stuffs into a pocket. Such ...
Katherine’s mother is prosecuted under the “Female Refuges Act” in Ontario (Canada) for having a relationship with a Chinese national working in Canada. Under this act, women could be charged with being “incorrigible.” This word was widely interpreted and applied to control women’s behavi...
Shall we meet in the corridor under one Star we have steered by, if sometimes unknowingly, shall we grow lush as the garden we still bear in seed, shall we clasp at the hour of sweet sunset the hands which have worked on and on to see both of us freed from the barrier-vapors in ...
Under the hood our system has a kind of “shake o meter” if you will that takes all the above items and a few more inputs and if the combined end output exceeds the threshold we have set then it activates the gyro and if it is less then it remains in accelerometer mode and therefo...
