Transverse Quotes

I often wished that more people understood the invisible side of things. Even the people who seemed to understand, didn't really.

People who don't see you every day have a hard time understanding how on some days--good days--you can run three miles, but can barely walk across the parking lot on other days,' [my mom] said quietly.

It is not the activity of the subject of knowledge that produces a corpus of knowledge, useful or resistant to power, but power-knowledge, the processes and struggles that transverse it and of which it is made up, that determines the forms and possible domains of knowledge.

This, I realized now watching Dienekes rally and tend to his men, was the role of the officer: to prevent those under this command, at all stages of battle--before, during and after--from becoming "possessed." To fire their valor when it flagged and rein in their fury when it threatened to take them out of hand. That was Dienekes' job. That was why he wore the transverse-crested helmet of an officer. His was not, I could see now, the heroism of an Achilles. He was not a superman who waded invulnerably into the slaughter, single-handedly slaying the foe by myriads. He was just a man doing a job. A job whose primary attribute was self-restraint and self-composure, not for his own sake, but for those whom he led by his example.

I had learned quickly that life doesn't always go the way I want it to, and that's okay. I still plod on.

There wasn’t a man alive in Pern who hadn’t secretly cherished the notion that he might be able to Impress a dragon. That he could be linked for life to the love and sustaining admiration of these gentle great beasts. That he could transverse Pern in a twinkling, astride his dragon. That he would never suffer the loneliness that was the condition of most men - a dragonrider always had his dragon.

The long poem of walking manipulates spatial organizations, no matter how panoptic they may be: it is neither foreign to them (it can take place only within them) nor in conformity with them (it does not receive its identity from them). It creates shadows and ambiguities within them. It inserts its multitudinous references and citations into them (social models, cultural mores, personal factors). Within them it is itself the effect of successive encounters and occasions that constantly alter it and make it the other's blazon: in other words, it is like a peddler carrying something surprising, transverse or attractive compared with the usual choice. These diverse aspects provide the basis of a rhetoric. They can even be said to define it.

The shadow of the passions of the moment transversed this grand and gentle spirit occupied with eternal things.

[[ ]] The story goes like this: Earth is captured by a technocapital singularity as renaissance rationalization and oceanic navigation lock into commoditization take-off. Logistically accelerating techno-economic interactivity crumbles social order in auto sophisticating machine runaway. As markets learn to manufacture intelligence, politics modernizes, upgrades paranoia, and tries to get a grip. The body count climbs through a series of globewars. Emergent Planetary Commercium trashes the Holy Roman Empire, the Napoleonic Continental System, the Second and Third Reich, and the Soviet International, cranking-up world disorder through compressing phases. Deregulation and the state arms-race each other into cyberspace. By the time soft-engineering slithers out of its box into yours, human security is lurching into crisis. Cloning, lateral genodata transfer, transversal replication, and cyberotics, flood in amongst a relapse onto bacterial sex. Neo-China arrives from the future. Hypersynthetic drugs click into digital voodoo. Retro-disease. Nanospasm.

The strong, ferocious wind just made the chill worse, and as it blew around me, electric bursts of pain shot through my body.

The weekend was a much-needed breath of fresh air; Monday always seemed to not only take that breath right back, but add a few extra pounds to my shoulders as well.

I could feel the bite of the autumn air, warning us all of the harsh winter that was on its way.

Illinois State Fair Infirmary; then motel; then Springfield Memorial Medical Center Emergency Room for distention and possible rupture of transverse colon (false alarm); then motel; incapacitated till well after sunset; whole day a washout; incredibly embarrassing, unprofessional; indescribable. Delete entire day.

More and more the world resembles an entomologist's dream. The earth is moving out of its orbit, the axis has shifted; from the north the snow blows down in huge knife-blue drifts. A new ice age is setting in, the transverse sutures are closing up and everywhere throughout the corn belt the fetal world is dying, turning to dead mastoid. Inch by inch the deltas are drying out and the river beds are smooth as glass. A new day is dawning, a metallurgical day, when the earth shall clink with showers of bright yellow ore. As the thermometer drops, the form of the world grows blurred; osmosis there still is, and here and there articulation, but at the periphery the veins are all varicose, at the periphery the light waves bend and the sun bleeds like a broken rectum.

The video was still playing, although I didn't know why. It seemed as if the able-bodied dancers were mocking me.

We’ll be fighting [Transverse Myelitis] our whole lives, but we’ve also proven that we are more than capable of not letting it beat us.

Why should we hate them? Because ours is the only true civilization! Even in science -- consider that we invented the sternpost rudder twelve hundred years before the Europeans did! Fore-and-aft sails in the third century! Treadmill paddle wheel for boats five hundred years later! Warships with rams and twenty paddle wheels by the twelfth century -- the British thought we had copied theirs, the fools! In the thirteenth century we had ships with fifty cabins for passengers, six-masts, double planking, water-tight compartments! Only in the last century did the barbarians even have transverse bulkheads! Five hundred years ago we already had ships four hundred and fifty feet long, and we grew fresh vegetables aboard in tubs! WE sailed the high seas to Sumatra and India, to Aden and Africa and even to Madagascar -- sixty years before the Portuguese bit a piece from the thigh of India! I curse Confucius and all those mad saints who persuaded us against war! Did you ever hear of Sun Wa, who lived three thousand years ago? No? Read the Art of War! 'If you are not in danger, do not fight,' he wrote. Now we are in danger!

Above the thighs in the abdomen there are two rows of five points on each side. They are henggu (K11), dahe (K12), qixue (K13), siman (K14), and zhongzhu (K15); wailing (ST26), daju (ST27), shuidao (ST28), guilai (ST29), and qichong (ST30). This is the pathway transversed by the kidney qi, therefore referred to as the thoroughfare of the kidneys. The liver, kidney, and spleen channels converge on the inside of the leg. The kidney channel counts six points on each leg, collectively called taichong, or the great thoroughfare. They consist of dazhong (K4), zhaohai (K6), fuliu (K7), jiaoxin (K8), zhubin

As I sat up I turned my head to the side, but immediately straightened it again when I felt a sharp pain shoot through my neck.

I was really happy because the doctor had said I would be better by then, and I was ready for this terrible nightmare to be over.

Before I knew it, I was racing across the highway. For the first time in my life, I didn’t know what to think.

Dancing with a spinal cord injury is a challenge like no other, but I aspired to prove to myself that I could still be phenomenal dancer even with an SCI

One might go to the bakery, perhaps," he said. "But did you know the baker has tuberculosis? All the people here run around in a highly infectious state. The baker's daughter has tuberculosis too, it seems to have something to do with the runoff from the cellulose factory, with the steam that the locomotives have spewed out for decades, with the bad diet that people eat. Almost all of them have cankered lung lobes, pneumothorax and pneumoperitoneum are endemic. They have tuberculosis of the lungs, the head, the arms and legs. All of them have tubercular abscesses somewhere on their bodies. The valley is notorious for tuberculosis. You will find every form of it here: skin tuberculosis, brain tuberculosis, intestinal tuberculosis. Many cases of meningitis, which is deadly within hours. The workmen have tuberculosis from the dirt they dig around in, the farmers have it from their dogs and the infected milk. The majority of the people have galloping consumption. Moreover," he said, "the effect of the new drugs, of streptomycin for example, is nil. Did you know the knacker has tuberculosis? That the landlady has tuberculosis? That the landlady has tuberculosis? That her daughters have been to sanatoria on three occasions? Tuberculosis is by no means on the way out. People claim it is curable. but that's what the pharmaceutical industry says. In fact, tuberculosis is as incurable as it always was. Even people who have been inoculated against it come down with it. Often those who have it the worst are the ones who look so healthy that you wouldn't suspect they were ill at all. Their rosy faces are utterly at variance with their ravaged lungs. You keep running into people who've had to endure a cautery or, at the very least, a transverse lesion. Most of them have had their lives ruined by failed reconstructive surgery." We didn't go to the bakery. Straight home instead.

Before I knew it, I was once again being whisked down the hallways at the new hospital into an even bigger room, one that, unbeknownst to me, would be my home for what would feel like a long, long time.

As things STAND now, I trust London more than I trust you. Okay, so it fell a little short of a ringing endorsement, Emmett thought as he followed Lydia into the offices of the Transverse Wave Youth Shelter. She could have been a touch more eloquent and maybe a shade more dramatic. I would trust London with my life, my fortune, and my sacred honor, would have done nicely. Or maybe, I would trust London to the ends of the universe. But he would take what he could get.

No salvation comes from exhumed gods; we must penetrate deeper into substance. If I take a fossil, say, a trilobite, in my hand (marvelously preserved specimens are found in the quarries at the foot of the Casbah), I am transfixed by the impact of mathematical harmony. Purpose and beauty, as fresh as on the first day, are still seamlessly united in a medal engraved by a master's hand. The bios must have discovered the secret of tripartition in this primordial crab. Tripartition then frequently recurs, even without any natural kinship; figures, in transversal symmetry, dwell in the triptych. How many millions of years ago might this creature have animated an ocean that no longer exists? I hold its impression, a seal of imperishable beauty, in my hand. Some day, this seal, too, will decay or else burn out in cosmic conflagrations of the future. The matrix that formed it remains concealed in and operative from the law, untouched by death or fire.

Don't cure me, Mother, I couldn't bear the bath of your bitter spittle. No salve no ointment in a doctor's tube, no brew in a witch's kettle, no lover's mouth, no friend or god could heal me if your heart turned in anathema, grew stone against me. Defenseless and naked as the day I slid from you twin voices keening and the cord pulsing our common protests, I'm coming back back to you woman, flesh of your woman's flesh, your fairest, most faithful mirror, my love transversing me like a filament wired to the noonday sun. Receive me, Mother.

O homem é um animal racional e, por isso, é um ser composto, em parte, à semelhança das feras, que são animais, mas não são racionais; e parcialmente à semelhança dos anjos, que são racionais, mas - na visão medieval tardia - ele não é animal. Eis aí um dos sentidos pelo qual o homem é um "pequeno mundo" ou microcosmo. Toda modalidade de ser, em todo o Universo, contribui para ele; ele é uma secção transversal da existência. Como disse Gregório, o Grande (540-604),35 "porque o ser humano tem uma existência (esse) em comum com as pedras; a vida, com as árvores; e o discernimento (discernere), com os anjos, ele é corretamente chamado segundo o nome do mundo".

The method he adopted in building the bridge was as follows. He took a pair of piles a foot and a half thick, slightly pointed at the lower ends and of a length adapted to the varying depth of the river, and fastened them together two feet apart. These he lowered into the river with appropriate tackle, placed them in position at right angles to the bank, and drove them home with pile-drivers, not vertically, as piles are generally fixed, but obliquely, inclined in the direction of the current. Opposite these, forty feet lower down the river, another pair of piles was planted, similarly fixed together, and inclined in the opposite direction to the current. The two pairs were then joined by a beam two feet wide, whose ends fitted exactly into the spaces between the two piles forming each pair. The upper pair was kept at the right distance from the lower pair by means of iron braces, one of which was used to fasten each pile to the end of the beam. The pairs of piles being thus held apart, and each pair individually strengthened by a diagonal tie between the two piles, the whole structure was so rigid, that, in accordance with the laws of physics, the greater the force of the current, the more tightly were the piles held in position. A series of these piles and transverse beams was carried right across the stream and connected by lengths of timber running in the direction of the bridge; on these were laid poles and bundles of sticks. In spite of the strength of the structure, additional piles were fixed obliquely to each pair of the original piles along the whole length of the downstream side of the bridge, holding them up like a buttress and opposing the force of the current. Others were fixed also a little above the bridge, so that if the natives tried to demolish it by floating down tree-trunks or beams, these buffers would break the force of the impact and preserve the bridge from injury.

Incluso de un modo más profético, Leonardo intuyó lo que, al cabo de doscientos años, se conocería como el principio de Bernoulli: cuando el aire (o cualquier fluido) fluye más rápido, ejerce menos presión. Leonardo dibujó una sección transversal del ala de un pájaro, que muestra que la parte superior se halla más curvada que la inferior. (Ocurre lo mismo con las alas de los aviones, que utilizan el mismo principio.) Así, el aire que fluye por la parte superior curva del ala tiene que recorrer una distancia mayor que el aire que lo hace por debajo. Por lo tanto, en la parte superior, el aire debe ir más rápido. La diferencia de velocidad significa que el aire de la parte superior del ala ejerce menos presión que el aire de la parte inferior, lo que ayuda al ave (o al avión) a mantenerse en el aire. «El aire por debajo de los objetos volantes es más espeso que el que está por encima», escribió.[19] De este modo, Leonardo se dio cuenta, antes que otros científicos, de que los pájaros se mantienen en el aire no solo porque las alas golpean el aire, sino también porque estas impulsan hacia delante a los pájaros y la presión del aire disminuye al fluir sobre la superficie superior curva del

The expression "fee thulumaatin thalaathin," translated into English as "a threefold darkness," indicates three dark regions involved during the development of the embryo. These are: a) The darkness of the abdomen b) The darkness of the womb c) The darkness of the placenta As we have seen, modern biology has revealed that the embryological development of the baby takes place in the manner revealed in the verse, in three dark regions. Moreover, advances in the science of embryology show that these regions consist of three layers each. The lateral abdominal wall comprises three layers: the external oblique, the internal oblique, and transverses abdominis muscles.91 Similarly, the wall of the womb also consists of three layers: the epimetrium, the myometrium and the endometrium.92 Similarly again, the placenta surrounding the embryo also consists of three layers: the amnion (the internal membrane around the foetus), the chorion (the middle amnion layer) and the decidua (outer amnion layer.)93 It is also pointed out in this verse that a human being is created in the mother's womb in three distinct stages. Indeed, modern biology has also revealed that the baby's embryological development takes place in three distinct regions in the mother's womb. Today, in all the embryology textbooks studied in departments of medicine, this subject is taken as an element of basic knowledge. For instance, in Basic Human Embryology, a fundamental reference text in the field of embryology, this fact is stated as follows: The life in the uterus has three stages: pre-embryonic; first two and a half weeks, embryonic; until the end of the eight week, and fetal; from the eight week to labor.

The ridge of the Lammer-muir hills... consists of primary micaceous schistus, and extends from St Abb's head westward... The sea-coast affords a transverse section of this alpine tract at its eastern extremity, and exhibits the change from the primary to the secondary strata... Dr HUTTON wished particularly to examine the latter of these, and on this occasion Sir JAMES HALL and I had the pleasure to accompany him. We sailed in a boat from Dunglass ... We made for a high rocky point or head-land, the SICCAR ... On landing at this point, we found that we actually trode [sic] on the primeval rock... It is here a micaceous schistus, in beds nearly vertical, highly indurated, and stretching from S.E. to N. W. The surface of this rock... has thin covering of red horizontal sandstone laid over it, ... Here, therefore, the immediate contact of the two rocks is not only visible, but is curiously dissected and laid open by the action of the waves... On us who saw these phenomena for the first time, the impression will not easily be forgotten. The palpable evidence presented to us, of one of the most extraordinary and important facts in the natural history of the earth, gave a reality and substance to those theoretical speculations, which, however probable had never till now been directly authenticated by the testimony of the senses... What clearer evidence could we have had of the different formation of these rocks, and of the long interval which separated their formation, had we actually seen them emerging from the bosom of the deep? ... The mind seemed to grow giddy by looking so far into the abyss of time; and while we listened with earnestness and admiration to the philosopher who was now unfolding to us the order and series of these wonderful events, we became sensible how much farther reason may sometimes go than imagination can venture to follow.

Debido a su intuición de la unidad de la naturaleza, su mente, su ojo y su pluma se lanzaron a detectar relaciones saltando de una disciplina a otra. «Esta búsqueda constante de formas básicas, recurrentes y orgánicas suponía que, cuando miraba un corazón como un fruto rodeado de una red de venas, veía, y dibujaba a su lado, los brotes que germinan de una semilla —escribió Adam Gopnik—. Al estudiar los rizos de la cabeza de una bella mujer, pensaba en el movimiento circular de un remolino de agua.»[14] Su dibujo de un feto en el útero pone de manifiesto su parecido con una semilla dentro de la cáscara. Al inventar instrumentos musicales, Leonardo estableció una comparación entre el funcionamiento de la laringe y el glissando de una flauta. Al participar en el concurso de proyectos para el tiburio de la catedral de Milán, fijó una correspondencia entre arquitectos y médicos que reflejaba la analogía fundamental de su arte y su ciencia: la que existe entre el mundo físico y la anatomía humana. Al diseccionar una extremidad y dibujar sus músculos y tendones, trazaba asimismo cuerdas y palancas. Vimos un ejemplo de este análisis basado en pautas y patrones en la «hoja temática», en la que se disponía una relación de semejanza entre las ramas de un árbol y las arterias de un ser humano, que Leonardo también aplicaba a los ríos y sus afluentes. «La suma de todas las ramas de un árbol en cada una de sus distintas alturas resulta igual al grosor del tronco principal —escribió en otro lugar—. La suma de las ramificaciones de un curso de agua en cada uno de sus puntos, si fluyen con la misma rapidez, es igual al caudal de la corriente principal.»[15] Esta conclusión todavía se conoce como «regla de Da Vinci» y se ha demostrado cierta siempre que las ramas no sean muy grandes: la suma de las áreas transversales de todas las ramas en un determinado punto de ramificación equivale al área transversal del tronco o de la rama madre.[16] Otra analogía que hizo fue comparar la forma en que la luz, el sonido, el magnetismo y las reverberaciones causadas por un golpe de martillo se propagan siguiendo un patrón concéntrico, en general en forma de ondas. En uno de sus cuadernos realizó una serie de pequeños dibujos puestos en columna para indicar cómo se expande cada campo de fuerza. Incluso ilustró lo que sucedía cuando cada tipo de onda chocaba con un orificio en la pared; prefigurando los estudios que realizaría el físico neerlandés Christiaan Huygens al cabo de casi dos siglos, representó la difracción que se produce cuando las ondas atraviesan la abertura.[17] La mecánica de ondas constituyó para Leonardo una simple curiosidad pasajera, pero incluso en ella su genio parece asombroso. Las correlaciones que Leonardo establecía entre distintas disciplinas le servían para orientar sus investigaciones. La comparación entre los remolinos de agua y las turbulencias del aire, por ejemplo, le proporcionó el marco para estudiar el vuelo de las aves. «Con el fin de exponer la verdadera ciencia del vuelo de las aves en el aire —escribió—, tenemos que tratar primero de la ciencia de los vientos, que probaremos por el movimiento de las aguas.»[18] Aun así, los patrones que discernía eran más que simples guías útiles para el estudio. Los consideraba revelaciones de verdades esenciales, manifestaciones de la hermosa unidad de la naturaleza.

Now when a muscle cell is stimulated by its motor nerve—and only when it is stimulated by its nerve—the electrical charge from the membrane of the nerve cell is transmitted to the membrane of the muscle cell; from the membrane of the muscle cell, this charge is picked up by the transverse tubules which in turn transmit it to the interior of the muscle cell, where it contacts the membranes of the sarcoplasmic reticulum. When the reticulum is touched by the charge, pores in its delicate membrane open up, allowing the positive calcium ions to rush out into the cellular fluid, where they bond to the actin chains, initiating the cross-bridging cycles.

One conclusion which emerged from this imaginary operation was that all changes in electric and magnetic force (for instance, those caused by an oscillating circuit) sent waves spreading through space; and that these waves had the same transverse character, and the same speed, as light. 'We can scarcely avoid the inference', he wrote in a monumental sentence, 'that light consists in the transverse undulations of the same medium which is the cause of electric and magnetic phenomena.

It’s no use bestowing the theory of transverse timestream navigation on someone who is going to teleport themselves in front of a steam-roller on their first jump.

ELVIS PRESLEY’S COLON is not on display in a glass case, but you can get a good sense of what it looked like by reading the autopsy section of The Death of Elvis. “As Florendo cut, he found that this megacolon was jam-packed from the base of the descending colon all the way up and halfway across the transverse colon. . . . The impaction had the consistency of clay and seemed to defy Florendo’s efforts with the scissors to cut it out.” Nichopoulos was at the autopsy and remembers the moment. The clayey material, he says, was barium, administered to prep Presley for a set of X-rays—taken four months earlier. “That barium was . . .” He gestures toward the fireplace. “Just like a rock.” He says the impaction obstructed at least 50 to 60 percent of the diameter of Presley’s colon.

For more than 3 million years visual icons have been collected by hominins, from Australopithecus to Homo sapiens. These icons suggest that the icon-possessor(s) quite possibly grasped a connection between form and meaning – what the icon is a visual representation of. In this light, consider the two-by-three-inch stone found in the Makapansgat cave in South Africa (Figure 9). This pebble is much older than Homo, however. It was collected by none other than Australopithecus africanus. The manuport (‘carried by hand’) stands out among the tools it was found among because it clearly is not a tool, but was brought to the cave from elsewhere, almost certainly because it resembled a human face. And it is a kind of stone different from that of the cave where it was found. This manuport indicates that as early as 3 million years ago early hominins recognised iconic properties in objects around them. Just as one perceives the serpentine iconic properties of tree roots in the Amazon, so the australopithecines of Makapansgat saw iconicity in a rock with two circular indentations above a groove running transverse to them. Someone might

ST-12 Chinese Point name: Que Pen;7 English translation: “Empty Basin;” Special Attributes: It is an intersection point of the Stomach Meridian and the Yin Heel Vessel. It is bilateral and is one of the 36 Vital Points listed in the Bubishi; Location: At the midpoint of the collarbone, which is about four inches lateral from the centerline of the body; and bilateral. Western Anatomy: The transverse cervical artery, intermediate supraclavicular nerve and the supraclavicular portion of the brachial plexus are present; Comments: This point is an excellent target when your opponent is at close range. By gripping the collarbone you can dig your fingers down behind the natural curve of the bone and towards the centerline of the body. It is most active when your opponent has their arms raised, given the structural weakness of the body at this location, will drop the majority of attackers. A sharp thrust down into this point will cause your opponents knees to bend. ST-9 Chinese Point name: Ren Ying;8 English translation: “Man’s Prognosis;” Special Attributes: ST-9 is an intersection point for the Stomach Meridian, Gall Bladder Meridian and the Yin Heel Vessel. It is a bilateral point that sets over the carotid artery. It is one of the 36 Vital Points listed in the Bubishi; Location: About 1.5 inches to the outside of the Adam’s apple on the throat; Western Anatomy: The superior thyroid artery, the anterior jugular vein, the internal jugular vein, the carotid artery, the cutaneous cervical nerve, the cervical branch of the facial nerve, the sympathetic trunk, and the ascending branch of the hypoglossal and vagus nerves are all present; Comments: This is one of the weakest points on the human body and regardless of the size and muscular strength of an opponent it is extremely sensitive. Strikes to this point can kill due to the structural weakness of the area. Strikes should be aimed toward the center of the spine on a 90-degree angle. A variety of empty hand weapons can be employed in striking this point. Forearms, edge of hand strikes, punches, kicks, and elbow strikes are all effective. BL-1 Chinese Point name: Jing Ming;9 English translation: “Bright Eyes;” Special Attributes: It is an intersection point of the Small Intestine Meridian, Bladder Meridian, Stomach Meridian, Yin Heel Vessel and the Yang Heel Vessel. It is also bilateral; Location: About .25 of an inch from the inner corner of the eye; Western Anatomy: The angular artery and vein and branches of the oculomotor and ophthalmic nerve are present; Comments: Strike this point slightly upward and towards the centerline of the head. This point is fairly difficult to strike in a combative situation due to the location. Forceful strikes to the eye socket area can activate this point, as well as traumatize the eye and possible breaking the bone structure in the general area.

Heroic narratives of humanitarian risk taking, that anthropologist Adia Benton argues (re)produce racial hierarchies and white supremacy,109 animate grassroots initiatives as much as organised institutionalised interventions. Violent borders and unequal mobility are transversal, meaning territorial and state- and citizen-based responses that see humanitarian work happen ‘over there’ and politics happen ‘here’ can only ever relieve symptoms rather than effect substantive change. So, what next for mobility justice?

All of a sudden, my right hand was dead, unplugged, and my left was definitely not working right.

A blur. That’s what it felt like to me

It seemed like an ordinary day, but little did I know that this wasn’t going to be a normal ballet class.

When the doctors came in a little while later saying they thought they knew my diagnosis, I was afraid to know.

None of Cyrus’s soldiers knew of the holy book of the Hebrews, where prophecy regarding their leader spoke of the favor of their one god, known to the Hebrews as YHVH, toward Cyrus. Perhaps Cyrus himself was unaware of it, but he was about to fulfill the prophecy in Isaiah and again in Jeremiah of the holy book, made 90 years before his birth. “I will dry up thy rivers…I will dry up her sea.” Babylon’s vulnerability was the Euphrates River, where it entered and exited below the transverse walls that bridged it. Cyrus diverted the river upstream, forming a lake and causing the river to become shallow enough for his men to wade, passing under the walls into the center of the city.

Knowing that only minutes earlier I had walked to the car, my mom helped me out and stood me up in the parking lot. My legs collapsed. I could still move them, but I couldn’t walk.

The thought of being able to [move my arms] made me want to give up my legs [instead] since I was accustomed to using them. But, I figured that after a few hours of sitting in a wheelchair...I would switch back...in a flash.

But I had already fallen. Fallen into this deep, dark hole. I was trapped. Trapped in this nightmare.

It only took starlings (a type of bird) about 100 years to cover the entire North American continent when about 60 were released in New York City in 1890. With this in mind, it probably did not take long for many places to be populated with flying creatures after the Flood. Many birds can transverse great distances over lakes, seas, and oceans. Some birds and other flying creatures may have lost the ability to fly due to mutations or breeding (particularly inbreeding) since the Flood. This could have occurred after migrating long distances.

The movies were just kind of figuring out how to use computers in 2003, and nobody was just kind of figuring out how to use computers harder than Michael Bay. It’s tempting to say that every frame of Bad Boys II looks like a TV commercial, but truly every frame looks like a print advertisement, like those Candies ads where Jenny McCarthy’s taking a shit, shallow and glossy and tinged acid green. There are four car chases, one of which is at least fifteen minutes long. Even the most passing transitions are giddily tasteless: the camera EXPLODES out of the speedboat’s tailpipe and ZOOMS across Biscayne Bay and WHAMS down the ventilation shaft in the backward sunglasses factory and SHOOMPS into the buttcrack of a raver’s low-rise jeans and SPROINGS across her transverse colon and SQUEAKS through her appendix and AIRHORNS out her belly button and PLOPS into the Cuban drug lord’s mojito as he shoots his favorite nephew in the head while saying, “Adios, kemosabe,” or something fucking cool like that. When faced with a choice, Bay picks “all of the above” every time. He’s like a dog in one of those obedience trials who’s like, “Obedience? I don’t know her,” and just goes buck wild on the sausages. Except instead of “obedience” it’s “having a coherent plot that holds the audience’s attention” and instead of “sausages” it’s “explosions, Ferrari chases, and how many different cool kinds of box could a gun come in.

That this was the case, we have at once the testimony of Lactantius, who was the tutor of Constantine's son Crispus--the earliest author who gives any account of the matter, and the indisputable evidence of the standards of Constantine themselves, as handed down to us on medals struck at the time. The testimony of Lactantius is must decisive: "Constantine was warned in a dream to make the celestial sign of God upon his soldiers' shields, and so to join battle. He did as he was bid, and with the transverse letter X circumflecting the hand of it, he marks Christ on their shields. Equipped with this sign, his army takes the sword." Now, the letter X was just the initial of the name of Christ, being equivalent in Greek to CH. If, therefore, Constantine did as he was bid, when he made "the celestial sign of God" in the form of "the letter X," it was that "letter X." as the symbol of "Christ," and not the sign of the cross, which he saw in the heavens. When the Labarum, or far-famed standard of Constantine itself, properly so called, was made, we have the evidence of Ambrose, the well-known Bishop of Milan, that that standard was formed on the very principle contained in the statement of Lactantius--viz., simply to display the Redeemer's name. He calls it "Labarum, hoc est Christi sacratum nomine signum." --"The Labarum, that is, the ensign consecrated by the NAME of Christ." There is not the slightest allusion to any cross--to anything but the simple name of Christ.

Transversal dialogue should be based on the principles of rooting and shifting—that is, being centered in one’s own experience while being empathetic to the differential positioning of the partners in the dialogue…the boundaries of the dialogue would be determined by the message rather than its messengers.

La hegemonía cultural de la izquierda ha permitido que sus ideas hayan ganado valioso terreno en los ámbitos más diversos a expensas de espacios de libertad y de ciertos valores fundamentales para la conservación de una sociedad sana y pujante. El eslogan de la igualdad es el mejor ejemplo. Este se ha establecido de manera acrítica y transversal en la discusión pública chilena, causando un daño tremendo a la imagen de las élites –que sin entender lo que hay detrás, incluso lo reafirman– y cambiando el eje de las políticas públicas hacia un tipo de modelo corrector de desigualdades que ha fracasado hasta la saciedad.

On the edge of the universe, my soul does traverse, In delicate verse, Each line a testament to this curse. The sound does softly coerce, as I am slowly immersed, and interspersed within this obverse transverse. A murderous symphony teases my senses... Oh the malice and lust overwhelm my defenses... A dance with death, such a gentle embrace... How it soothes the fire in this soul with effortless grace... Empathy and sympathy have clearly left me... And insanity and inhumanity are now my vanity...

The entire slope and the astounding ring of stones towered even higher now, and they realized that each boulder was much larger than they had first thought when seeing them from afar. Even if three men, one standing on the shoulders of another, were to stretch their hands towards those stones, the one standing highest would still have difficulty in reaching the towering line of magnificently fashioned transverse rocks, just as huge as those upon which they rested and undoubtedly just as heavy. A great many men of admirable strength and ingenuity had been needed to place them there. Whitehair thought of the giants of the north, of which so much had been spoken in Knossos , and shuddered. But then he recalled the temples and statues of Egypt, which were incomparably larger and yet built by mortal men.

It is not a question of risking one hypothesis among others, but of introducing a new category, the category of "form," which, having its application in the inorganic as well as the organic domain, would permit bringing to light the "transverse functions" in the nervous system of which Wertheimer speaks and whose existence is confirmed by experience without a vitalist hypothesis. For the "forms," and in particular the physical systems, are defined as total processes whose properties are not the sum of those which the isolated parts would possess. More precisely they are defined as total processes which may be indiscernable from each other while their "parts," compared to each other, differ in absolute size; in other words the systems are defined as transposable wholes. We will say that there is form whenever the properties of a system are modified by every change brought about in a single one of its parts and, on the contrary, are conserved when they all change while maintaining the same relationship among themselves.

The visible present is not in time and space, nor, of course, outside of them: there is nothing before it, after it, about it, that could compete with its visibility. And yet it is not alone, it is not everything. To put it precisely, it stops up my view, that is, time and space extend beyond the visible present, and at the same time they are behind it, in depth, in hiding. The visible can thus fill me and occupy me only because I who see it do not see it from the depths of nothingness, but from the midst of itself; I the seer am also visible. What makes the weight, the thickness, the flesh of each color, of each sound, of each tactile texture, of the present, and of the world is the fact that he who grasps them feels himself emerge from them by a sort of coiling up or redoubling, fundamentally homogeneous with them; he feels that he is the sensible itself coming to itself and that in return the sensible is in his eyes as it were his double or an extension of his own flesh. The space, the time of the things are shreds of himself, of his own spatialization, of his own temporalization, are no longer a multiplicity of individuals synchronically and diachronically distributed, but a relief of the simultaneous and of the successive, a spatial and temporal pulp where the individuals are formed by differentiation. The things—here, there, now, then—are no longer in themselves, in their own place, in their own time; they exist only at the end of those rays of spatiality and of temporality emitted in the secrecy of my flesh. And their solidity is not that of a pure object which the mind soars over; I experience their solidity from within insofar as I am among them and insofar as they communicate through me as a sentient thing. Like the memory screen of the psychoanalysts, the present, the visible counts so much for me and has an absolute prestige for me only by reason of this immense latent content of the past, the future, and the elsewhere, which it announces and which it conceals. There is therefore no need to add to the multiplicity of spatio-temporal atoms a transversal dimension of essences—what there is is a whole architecture, a whole complex of phenomena "in tiers," a whole series of "levels of being," which are differentiated by the coiling up of the visible and the universal over a certain visible wherein it is redoubled and inscribed. Fact and essence can no longer be distinguished, not because, mixed up in our experience, they in their purity would be inaccessible and would subsist as limit-ideas beyond our experience, but because—Being no longer being before me, but surrounding me and in a sense traversing me, and my vision of Being not forming itself from elsewhere, but from the midst of Being—the alleged facts, the spatio-temporal individuals, are from the first mounted on the axes, the pivots, the dimensions, the generality of my body, and the ideas are therefore already encrusted in its joints. There is no emplacement of space and time that would not be a variant of the others, as they are of it; there is no individual that would not be representative of a species or of a family of beings, would not have, would not be a certain style, a certain manner of managing the domain of space and time over which it has competency, of pronouncing, of articulating that domain, of radiating about a wholly virtual center—in short, a certain manner of being, in the active sense, a certain Wesen, in the sense that, says Heidegger, this word has when it is used as a verb. In short, there is no essence, no idea, that does not adhere to a domain of history and of geography. Not that it is confined there and inaccessible for the others, but because, like that of nature, the space or time of culture is not surveyable from above, and because the communication from one constituted culture to another occurs through the wild region wherein they all have originated.

Necesitamos un nuevo patriotismo transversal (no sectario), cívico (no violento), crítico (no complaciente) e integrador (no excluyente), donde con toda naturalidad un ateo, homosexual, federalista y comunista pueda sentirse tan patriota español como un católico, padre/madre de familia numerosa, centralista y de derechas.

Tendons sometimes become partially torn in a longitudinal or vertical manner, rather than transversely (Fig. 3-9). A split tendon may be functionally incompetent and act as if it is completely torn, even though it is still in continuity with the muscle and the bone.

Sailors on nearby ships heard the series of signals and, realizing that a collision was imminent, gathered to watch as SS Imo bore down on SS Mont-Blanc. Though both ships had cut their engines by this point, their momentum carried them right on top of each other at slow speed. Unable to ground his ship for fear of a shock that would set off his explosive cargo, Mackey ordered SS Mont-Blanc to steer hard to port and crossed the Norwegian ship's bows in a last-second bid to avoid a collision. The two ships were almost parallel to each other, when SS Imo suddenly sent out three signal blasts, indicating the ship was reversing its engines. The combination of the cargoless ship's height in the water and the transverse thrust of her right-hand propeller caused the ship's head to swing into SS Mont-Blanc. SS Imo's prow pushed into the French vessel's No. 1 hold on her starboard side.

La interdepartamentalidad alude a hacer permeable la consabida departamentalización interna de la Administración Pública. De esta manera, el trabajo interdepartamental debe incorporar estrategias para una colaboración entre diferentes departamentos con un doble objetivo: que tenga un carácter integral, fomentando así una dinámicas intersectoriales dentro de la Administración Pública; y que se puedan diversificar las cargas económicas, incorporando o reinterpretando programas y presupuestos, y permitiendo viabilizar las estrategias de regeneración proyectadas. Si queremos que el urbanismo se rija por una perspectiva integral no puede depender de la “ventanilla única”. Tenemos que integrar en los proyectos urbanos diferentes áreas o departamentos de la Administración y hacerles colaborar: Urbanismo, Asuntos Sociales, Movilidad, Promoción Económica, Medio Ambiente, Participación Ciudadana, Comunicación, etc. Por su parte, la transdisciplinariedad busca romper con una concepción de los saberes como departamentos estancos y hacer converger las diferentes disciplinas —urbanismo, medioambiente, sociología, economía, geografía, etc.— desde el origen mismo del proyecto urbano. Para resolver los problemas que atañen a la complejidad de la ciudad y el territorio, resulta imprescindible incorporar esta mirada plural. Por lo tanto, es necesario impulsar procesos creativos que las aúnen desde el origen y establezcan una correlación de fuerzas entre ellas, sin caer en la habitual dominación de la perspectiva urbanística-arquitectónica. Por su parte, la colaboración entre agentes hace referencia al diseño de espacios y dinámicas que permitan la cooperación entre los diversos actores que operan sobre el territorio. Esto supone que las instituciones deben ser capaces de impulsar procesos de trabajo conjunto entre los tres grandes grupos de agentes que actúan sobre el territorio: ciudadanía, Administración Pública y proveedores, conjunto de actores este último que abarca desde las empresas privadas que aportan servicios, productos y soluciones tecnológicas, hasta aquellas entidades que aportan conocimientos y saberes como pueden ser las universidades u otros centros científicos. Sin embargo, las dinámicas de concertación entre agentes, lo que en Paisaje Transversal denominamos como “negociación urbana”, son complejas y muchas veces complicadas: cada uno de los actores que intervienen tiene intereses y necesidades diferentes —contradictorios en muchas ocasiones—, y también lo son sus lenguajes y códigos. Además, la dificultad para la Administración Pública de establecer canales de diálogo con la ciudadanía y con el resto de agentes, así como el hermetismo de los procedimientos en la ejecución de los proyectos, ha penalizado el éxito de muchos procesos de transformación urbana. De este modo, surge la figura de facilitador o mediador, la cual se plantea como un equipo imparcial que haga de interlocutor y garantice la comunicación entre los actores. Pero no se trata de un elemento que permita apaciguar los conflictos urbanos en aras de los intereses de un grupo de presión concreto, sino de un equipo que sea capaz de canalizar las energías en la construcción colectiva de un proyecto común de ciudad desde

Think of a Mexican wave travelling around a stadium (a Mexican wave is a transverse wave as the cycle of the motion is up and down, while the wave travels at right angles to that direction, round the stadium). The medium here is the mass of spectators who bob up and down. But they stay in their seat positions

Transverse waves usually have to travel along the edge of the medium – for example, on the top of the water that the wave passes through. For a longitudinal wave, the regular cycle is in the same direction as the wave moves forward, not at right angles. The medium is repeatedly squashed up and relaxed like a concertina, so what travels through it is a pattern of compression and rarefaction.

Catalina: En Latinoamérica estamos viviendo un auge de movimientos de ultraderecha que están llegando a los gobiernos de la región con agendas abiertamente transfóbicas, ¿qué opinan al respecto? Siobhan: A mí me va a costar la autonomía corporal para hacer una transición y a una mujer cis le va a costar que no se pueda practicar un aborto, es un problema transversal de autonomía del cuerpo y eso nos afecta a todas.

When sexual liberation was the order of the day, the watchword was 'Maximize sexuality, minimize reproduction' . The dream of our present cloneloving society is just the opposite: as much reproduction and as little sex as possible. At one time the body was a metaphor for the soul, then it became a metaphor for sex. Today it is no longer a metaphor for anything at all, merely the locus of metastasis, of the machine-like connections between all its processes, of an endless programming devoid of any symbolic organization or overarching purpose: the body is thus given over to the pure promiscuity of its relationship to itself - the same promiscuity that characterizes networks and integrated circuits. The possibility of metaphor is disappearing in every sphere. This is an aspect of a general tendency towards transsexuality which extends well beyond sex, affecting all disciplines as they lose their specificity and partake of a process of confusion and contagion - a viral loss of determinacy which is the prime event among all the new events that assail us. Economics becomes transeconomics, aesthetics becomes transaesthetics, sex becomes transsexuality - all converge in a transversal and universal process wherein no discourse may have a metaphorical relationship to another, because for there to be metaphor, differential fields and distinct objects must exist. But they cannot exist where contamination is possible between any discipline and any other. Total metonymy, then - viral by definition (or lack of definition). The viral analogy is not an importation from biology, for everything is affected simultaneously and under the same terms by the virulence in question, by the chain reaction we have been discussing, by haphazard and senseless proliferation and metastasis. Perhaps our melancholy stems from this, for metaphor still had its beauty; it was aesthetic, playing as it did upon difference, and upon the illusion of difference. Today, metonymy - replacing the whole as well as the components, and occasioning a general commutability of terms - has built its house upon the dis-illusion of metaphor.

Esa cultura es transversal; dicho de otra manera, está uniformemente distribuida y, por tanto, se infiltra en las empresas y en todas las organizaciones humanas, incluso en las religiosas, y se traduce en el pensamiento de que nos merecemos todo lo que deseamos, que tenemos derecho a ello, sin esfuerzo.

Algo común había en aquellos aperos de labranza. Algo transversal cruzaba aquellas tierras, simbolizado en los hombres y mujeres que ahora se partían la espalda para tener los campos segados. El sudor une más que la bandera.

Owl & Company will present you with graphic and numerical printouts showing in hours, minutes, and seconds your headings and degrees, your rudder degrees, your engine r.p.m.s, your forward and backward speeds, your transverse velocities, your turn rates, the action of your thrusters, the knots of wind you were working in, where you went, what you did, and everything you hit or missed.

It wanted but a little while of sunset, when the sailor and his young comrade had finished flensing the shark. The raft now exhibited quite an altered appearance. Between the two upright oars several pieces of rope had been stretched transversely, and from these hung suspended the broad thin flitches of the shark’s flesh, that at a distance might have been mistaken for some sort of a sail. Indeed, they acted as such; for their united discs presented a considerable breadth of surface to the breeze, which had sprung up as the evening approached, and the raft by this means moved through the water with considerable rapidity. There was no effort made to steer it. The idea of reaching land was entirely out of the question. Their only hope of salvation lay in their being seen from a ship; and as a ship was as likely to come from one direction as another, it mattered not to which of the thirty-two points of the compass their raft might be drifting. Yes, it did matter. So thought Ben Brace, on reflection. It might be of serious consequence, should the raft make way to the westward. Somewhere in that direction—how far neither could guess—that greater raft, with its crew of desperate ruffians,—those drunken would-be cannibals,—must be drifting about, like themselves, at the mercy of winds and waves: perhaps more than themselves suffering the dire extreme of thirst and hunger.

when released, neutral in between. Control lever puts clutch in neutral and applies parking brake. Center foot pedal applies reverse. Third (right-hand) pedal is the service brake, applying transmission brake band. Model T Wheels: Standard wheels are wooden spoke with demountable rims, an option beginning in 1919. In 1925, 21 in. wood spoke demountable rim wheels were an option, these became standard in 1926. Beginning January 1926 optional 21 in. wire wheels became available. These became standard on some closed cars in calendar year 1927. In mid-1925 (1926 models) the transmission brake was made about a half-inch wider, and the rear wheel brakes were enlarged to 11 in. with lined shoes. 1909-1925 were seven in. with cast iron shoes (no lining). Springs were transverse semi-elliptic, front and rear. Model T Steering: 3:1 steering gear ratio by planetary gear at top of steering column until mid-1925 when ratio was changed to 5:1.
