“We've moved away from issuing hundreds of alarms to giving people an assessment of the level of threats. We use a proprietary algorithm to determine how relevant the threat was to you, whether it's more relevant in your environment than mine, and so on. It's a self-learning system that continues to build a knowledge base so it can give you a threat assessment of any single event, across the entire facility or enterprise.”
“The fact that every borehole in the first phase of drilling has intersected copper mineralization is highly encouraging. Given the success of our first drill-tests, it is clear that all of the fundamentals are in place to form a significant IOCG deposit in this exciting new district. Our biggest challenge is that the alteration systems are very large and will require persistence to determine their nature and extent. To be honest, it's a nice problem to have and we are very pleased with the progress to date.”
“At this point, I've got the confidence to know that I'll get through anything in my life given I have the motivation to do it, ... If it's an act of survival, we've all got a reason to keep living. It may not be pretty, but surviving is grit and determination in its highest form. I learned that I've got the capacity to do a hell of a lot more than I thought I could if I have the proper motivation.”
“You are a member of the elite SPECTRE group. ... [As] you lead your elite team across hostile alien worlds, you uncover a [grave] threat, one that will thrust all living beings into a galaxy-wide battle for survival against a race of gigantic, super-intelligent machines. Through your actions, you will bring about the emergence of the human race onto the galactic stage, ultimately determining the survival and destiny of entire civilizations.”
“We were blown away by the size, age and diversity of the deep-water corals we saw during our 2002 Davidson cruise. Indeed, the discoveries we made during that cruise prompted members of the public to propose that Davidson Seamount be protected as part of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. We wanted to go back to learn why so many extraordinary corals thrive there and to determine their age and growth patterns.”
Whether we accept it or not, this will likely be the century that determines what the optimal human population is for our planet. It will come about in one of two ways: Either we decide to manage our own numbers, to avoid a collision of every line on civilization's graph - or nature will do it for us, in the form of famines, thirst, climate chaos, crashing ecosystems, opportunistic disease, and wars over dwindling resources that finally cut us down to size.
“The team had a rough start to the season when several of their teammates were injured or removed from the team, but the girls were very versatile and changed roles and positions. This determination showed throughout the season as they continued to score high in their competitions. Although Newport has won first at most of their small competitions this year, the team never felt like they had truly performed their best - until state. They had an amazing day.”
Even if you have been having sex for years with many people, you can still become a "secondary virgin." That occurs when you repent of previous sexual sins and then determine not to be intimate with anyone until you are married. It will require discipline to stay in the hallway of doors, but it still bring the sweet benefits of healthiness, greater self-respect, and above all, harmony with the King. He will honor you for doing what is right.
By degrees they spoke of education , and the book-learning that forms one part of it; and the result was that Ruth determined to get up early all throughout the bright summer mornings, to acquire the knowledge hereafter to be give to her child. Her mind was uncultivated, her reading scant; beyond the mere mechanical arts of education she knew nothing; but she had a refined taste, and excellent sense and judgment to separate the true from the false.
A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between her work and her play; her labor and her leisure; her mind and her body; her education and her recreation. She hardly knows which is which. She simply pursues her vision of excellence through whatever she is doing, and leaves others to determine if she is working or playing. To herself, she always appears to be doing both.
