The length of the shell reaches 29 mm. (Original description) The long, narrow shell has a , biconically fusiform shape, sharply carinated and tubercled on the keel, polished, thin, white. Sculpture. Longitudinals—there are very many, fine, close-set, slightly raised flexuous lines of growth. Spirals—there is a sharp keel which lies about down the whorls.
The aperture has rose-colored margins. The interior of the aperture is grooved at some distance from the margin; only the groove corresponding to the keel, reaches the outer margin. The operculum is externally very convex, with close-set granules, the margin is deep violet, especially the columellar one.Schepman 1908-1913, The Prosobranchia of the Siboga Expedition; Leyden,E.
The ribs are rather prominent, rounded and broader than their interstices. They number nine on the penultimate whorl and on the body whorl ten.;These are spaced more widely than those above, commencing at the suture and terminating rather abruptly at the periphery. The spirals are even, comparatively coarse, and close-set threads, which overrun the whole shell.
The length of the shell varies between 3 mm and 11 mm. (Original description) The small, acute shell has a sinusigera protoconch, and seven or eight reticulated, full and rounded whorls. The sculpture consists, on the earlier whorls, of ten or twelve, and, on the body whorl, of twenty-five equal, rounded, close-set riblets, beginning at the anterior edge of the band, growing stronger and wider to the periphery, after which they again diminish, covering the whorls, and on the last visible nearly to the extreme of the siphonal canal. These are crossed by (on the fourth whorl) four, or (on the body whorl) about twenty-five close-set rounded threads, with a tendency to form a little nodule where they cross the summit of the transverse ribs, and pretty even in size.
The protoconch is decorticated,. The suture is obscure and closely appressed. The spiral sculpture consists of an angle at the shoulder, between "v/hich" and the suture are four or five close-set small equal threads. In front of the shoulder is a constriction beyond which are about a dozen deep grooves with wider rounded interspaces which are finely spirally striated.
The length of the shell varies between 5 mm and 11 mm. The minute, whitish or pale brownish shell is subcylindrical and turreted. The protoconch has a projecting minute subglobular apex and contains about 1½ smooth whorls followed in the teleoconch by about 4½ sculptured whorls. The spiral sculpture consists of minute close-set threads covering uniformly the whole surface.
The whorls are evenly rounded. The spiral sculpture consists of fine even equal close-set minute threads covering the whole surface. The axial sculpture consists of almost microscopic, even, regular incremental lines, and on the third whorl about 16 small sharp ribs crossing the whorl, with wider interspaces and becoming obsolete on the fourth whorl. The anal sulcus is shallow.
The inner lip is complete, applied, smooth. The columella is long and nearly straight. The axial ribs are oblique, fading out above the angle, rounded, nearly as wide as the spaces, ten in the penultimate whorl, absent from the base. The spiral lirae are crowded, fourteen in the penultimate, whorl, very close-set on the base, granulated by fine accremental striae.
The second and fourth diminish as they ascend, and vanish in a thread two whorls above. The keel forming the basal angle just emerges above the suture on the upper whorls. Close set perpendicular riblets bead the keels at the point of intersection, and their interstices are again traversed by smaller spiral threads. On the snout are half-a-dozen spirals.
The shell contains eight or nine strongly ribbed whorls. The spiral sculpture, sometimes obsolete near the suture, consists of extremely fine, wavy, close-set, incised lines. The transverse sculpture consists of (on the penultimate whorl 9 to 11) nearly straight stout ribs extending from the suture over the periphery and lost on the base. The fasciole is not well marked;.
The second projects strongly and sharply at the periphery and forms the carina. It and those below are delicately fretted with close-set small beads. The third, which meets the outer lip, lies within the contraction of the base. The last two are closer than the rest, which, however, are sometimes brought closer by the additional thread which appears among them.
Cheirogaleids are smaller than the other lemurs and, in fact, they are the smallest primates. They have soft, long fur, colored grey-brown to reddish on top, with a generally brighter underbelly. Typically, they have small ears, large, close- set eyes, and long hind legs. Like all strepsirrhines, they have fine claws at the second toe of the hind legs.
The vertex is flat. In some species, the ocellar callus is swollen and highly raised above the surface of the vertex. The eyes are dichoptic in both males and females (eyes of males close-set, of females wide-set). The third segment of the antenna is large and rounded or elongated, and bears a long apical or dorsal arista directed sideways.
It contains 8 whorls. The apical ones are smooth rounded oblique. The rest are deeply and smoothly concave at the top, then slightly convex, furnished with numerous oblique rounded smooth close-set ribs, the ribs terminating in a well-defined angle at the top. The body whorl is about equal in length to the spire, slightly convex above and tapering below.
If the genus Chaetodon is split up, Exornator might become a subgenus of Lepidochaetodon.Fessler & Westneat (2007), Hsu et al. (2007) The spot-banded butterflyfish grows to a maximum of 12 cm long. Its body is pale grey with close-set grey spots which are aligned in vertical bands, interspersed with yellow, on the upper sides and form horizontal rows on the lower sides.
From: The body is oval and compressed, with one pair of nostrils. The margin of the preopercle is serrated; the margin of bone under the eyes is serrated, without a notch in it and the bone before it. The mouth is small and protrusible with teeth in a single row, long and close- set. About 11 (10-12) lower gill rakers are present.
The axial sculpture consists of (on the penultimate whorl 11, on the body whorl 9) promment, slightly shouldered ribs with wider interspaces. The ribs undulate the appressed suture. The spiral sculpture consists of close-set alternated threads over the whole surface except between the shoulder and the suture, which is arcuately striated by the incremental lines. The aperture is narrow and straight.
On the body whorl there are two major threads with much wider interspaces, in front of them about six smaller closer threads to the siphonal canal which has about six close-set threads and a marked siphonal fasciole. The aperture is rather narrow. The anal sulcus is deep, rounded, separated by a single thread from the suture. The outer lip is thin, produced and sharp.
Four yachts competed in a summer long regatta to determine which the NYYC would name as defender, Columbia (US-16), a new Olin Stephens boat, Weatherly (US-17), Easterner (US-18), and the Olin Stephens designed Vim (US-15) from 1939. Columbia was chosen after a very close set of races resulted in only beating the 19-year-old Vim by 12 seconds in the final competition.
The suture is appressed behind a faint anal fasciole. The whorls are moderately rounded. The spiral sculpture is uniform, consisting of fine attenuated close-set spiral threads covering the whole surface and crossed by minutely sharp incremental lines giving a peculiarly rough effect. The other axial sculpture consists of (on the body whorl about 12) rather feeble rounded ribs obsolete anteriorly with about equal interspaces.
On the shoulder below the suture these are fine and closer-set than on the body and base. The carinal one at the angulation and that next below this, especially the first, are strong. They are ornamented with close-set, round, minute granules, which swell into small prominent tubercles in crossing the riblets. Those on the carinal spiral in particular are high, sharp, and horizontally elongated.
The radula consists of exceptionally minute, acicular, sharp-pointed, horny prickles. There is no operculum Shell. The shell is thin, horny, smooth, oval, with a tumid body whorl, a rather high, subscalar, small-pointed, round-whorled, shallow-sutured conical spire, and a tumid lop-sided base, pointed at the columella, but with scarcely any snout. Sculpture. Longitudinals — there are close-set fine hairlike lines of growth.
The spiral sculpture shows on the second normal whorl 3, on the next 4, and on the body whorl 10 slender threads with wider interspaces, overrunning the ribs and in front of these finer close-set threads on the columella. The aperture is hardly wider than the siphonal canal. The thin outer lip is arcuately produced in front. The columella is very short and attenuated in front.
At each wheel station a bevel box drives the half shaft out to the wheel. Unlike a typical transfer box for permanent four-wheel drive, there is no differential action front-to-back. When used for equally spaced wheels (i.e. rather than cargo trucks with close-set rear axles) the front two wheels are arranged so that both steer, the rear less so than the leading wheel.
One fatal attack of a tiger on a juvenile Asian black bear has been recorded in Jigme Dorji National Park. One Siberian tiger was reported to have lured an Asian black bear by imitating its mating call. However, Asian black bears are probably less vulnerable to tiger attacks than brown bears, due to their habit of living in hollows or in close set rocks.
At first, she is somewhat rude to Meggie, fearing that Meggie will ruin her books, but warms up to her when she realizes that Meggie loves books just as much as she does. Basta: Character from the book Inkheart. He has a thin angular face with close set eyes, not tall with narrow shoulders. There is a note of fury about him, and he is extremely superstitious.
There are many not close-set, flexuous, longitudinal ribs above the periphery, but on the base merely lines of growth. These ribs in crossing the upper carina form small sharp-pointed tubercles, of which there is also a trace on the lower carina. The superior sinus lies just above the upper carina, the basal sinus toward the middle of the base. Both are well marked.
The two close-set dorsal fins usually have an interdorsal thorn. Its coloration is grayish purple to dark chocolate brown or black above, occasionally with scattered small, darker spots, and slightly darker below except for a whitish area around the mouth. The anterior tips of the pelvic fins are whitish. Large males have irregular whitish blotches and numerous dark spots, while females have reduced or absent blotches.
The spiral sculpture consists of a thickened band between the suture and the somewhat constricted anal fasciole. At the shoulder there is a blunt angulation, in front of which are two obscure threads followed by a more distinct thread on which the suture is laid. On the body whorl in front of the angulation there are about 18 threads growing smaller and more close-set anteriorly. There is no siphonal fasciole.
The whorls are moderately convex. The spiral sculpture consists of (between the sutures four, on the body whorl about a dozen) strong rounded close-set cords closely undulated behind the periphery by numerous low narrow axial riblets with about equal interspaces. The cords in front of the periphery are not undulated, but extend to the end of the siphonal canal. There are also very fine axial striae in the interspaces.
The oblique ribs (14–15 on the penultimate whorl) are crossed with regular elevated ridges, which are less distinct below the sutures, from which descend very fine and close-set crescent-shaped striae (10–12 on the penultimate whorl) as far as the angle of the whorl, crossing the concentric lines. The spire is sharp. The apex is dark brown or purple. The aperture is elongately ovate, brown within.
The suture is distinct, marginate, where the riblets are conspicuous as at the periphery and continued to the suture in front. There are also fine, well-marked lines of growth, all crossed by close-set, low, spiral threads which become coarser and slightly more distinct on the siphonal canal. The anal sulcus is deep, wide and rounded. The outer lip in front of it is strongly protractive, thin and simple.

The surface of the shell is rather glossy, with fine radial microscopic scratches. The radials are prominent, close-set, discontinuous ribs, wider spaced on the back of the body whorl, amounting to nine on the penultimate. The spirals are chiefly apparent as beads upon the ribs, but suddenly enlarge upon the snout to massive tubercles. On the body whorl there are nine, on the penultimate three, and on the antepenultimate two.

Upon arriving at the Yaga camp, he sees that they have been eviscerated by beasts described as having bodies "like those of deformed apes, covered with sparse dirty white fur. Their heads were doglike, with small close-set ears. But their eyes were those of serpents--the same venomous steady lidless stare." The beasts have captured Altha, who Cairn rescues after defeating them and a large spider-like creature.
Sculpture : The radials are twelve prominent round-backed ribs, ceasing on the base, discontinuous from whorl to whorl, and broader than their interstices. The spirals amount to sixteen on the body whorl, and to four on the penultimate whorl. They are stout close-set cords which traverse both ribs and interstices and continue on the base. There they carry large beads in continuation of the axes of the ribs.
A rare form was the eight-column engine, where the pivot was supported by four close- set pillars rather than two. An example of such an engine survives at Markfield Road. With the extra power of the largest engines, the bending forces on the frame would become too much altogether and these engines used either masonry beds, or a deep iron bed casting, set at the base of the engine.
The suture is closely appressed with a cord-like edge behind the strongly constricted, arcuately striated anal fasciole. The spiral sculpture consists of (on the penultimate whorl about seven) flattish, close-set cords. In some specimens these alternate in size, in others they are nearly equal. On the body whorl there are about 25, some irregularly larger than the others, and a few smaller threads on the siphonal canal .
The skull is pitted and some of the pits have elongated into troughs, a sign of age. However, these troughs are not as prominent as they would be in an older individual. Paleontologist Roberta L. Paton considered the deep skull and close-set eyes of Procyclotosaurus to be indicative of a young Cyclotosaurus individual rather than a distinct genus. Therefore, in 1974, Paton reassigned Procyclotosaurus stantonensis to Cyclotosaurus.
It shows low, rounded, and close-set ribs. They number eleven on the penultimate whorl, and become evanescent on the body whorl. The spirals are close fine threads, nearly uniform in size and spacing, crossing ribs and interstices alike, and extending over the whole whorl from the suture downwards, numbering about six on the penultimate whorl and twenty-two on the body whorl. The wide aperture is unarmed.
The bronze and steel sculpture hanging high atop Parran Hall's facade, "Man" by Virgil Cantini, symbolizes the human quest for knowledge, with special reference to international research in the health fields. The dynamic composition shows an outstretched, skeletal figure in bronze surrounded by upward-moving, randomly placed peaks of varying sizes. Close-set circular steel bands unify the piece. The peaks represent the elevation of humanity above the mundane or peaks of progress.
The size of an adult shell varies between 39 mm and 75 mm. (Original description) Shell.—Fusiform, biconical, very slightly and bluntly angulated, with a scarcely convex base, elongated into a largish, slightly reverted, rather equal-sided snout. Sculpture. Longitudinals :there are no ribs; but the close-set, hair-like lines of growth, at nearly regular intervals over the whole surface, rise into thread- like folds which score the shell rather markedly.
The suture is distinct, not appressed. The spiral sculpture consists of (on the penultimate whorl four) stronger threads the posterior forming the shoulder, and between them in the wider interspaces much finer intercalary threads. On the base of the shell the minor threads become close-set and coarser. The axial sculpture consists of (on the body whorl fourteen or more) low threadlike ribs extending to the siphonal canal and shortly sigmoid behind the shoulder.
The length of the shell attains 6.2 mm, its diameter 2.5 mm. (Original description) The small, fusiform, short, stout shell is whitish, with three obscure pale brownish spiral bands on the body whorl. The protoconch is minute, translucent, and contains about one whorl with somewhat over four subsequent whorls in the teleoconch The suture is appressed and obscure. The spiral sculpture consists of numerous very fine equal close-set threads over the whole surface.
On the earlier whorls these are of course less marked and more close set. In the intervals of the larger riblets one or two fainter ones occasionally appear. Spirals: below the slightly concave sinus area is an obtuse angulation, accentuated by the slight prominence of the two small spiral threads which lie there. Below this there are on the body whorl above the lip corner about 5 other small spirals not so prominent.
Being a favorite in the playoffs, the team showed their consistent strong playstyle, winning 2-1 vs Evil Geniuses, placing themselves in the finals against other team favorite, Gambit Gaming. In a close set of games, Cyanide with the rest of Fnatic were able to best the Russians, winning 3-2 and the $50,000 1st prize. Cyanide qualified to the Season 3 World Championship with his team Fnatic, finishing 1st in the Summer Playoffs.
Dogs of any coat type may be identified as either "apple head" or "deer head" Chihuahuas. Apple heads have rounded heads, close-set eyes, and relatively short ears and legs. Deer heads have flat-topped heads, more widely set eyes, larger ears, and longer, more slender legs. Deer heads were the breed standard conformation in the mid-20th century, but current breed standards defined by registries such as the AKC specify the apple-head conformation.
The anal fasciole is narrow, nearly smooth except for lines of growth, bordered in front by an inconspicuous angular shoulder. From this shoulder extend (on the body whorl about eighteen) feeble, narrow, subequal, protractive, axial riblets, with subequal interspaces, crossed by fine, close-set spiral threads. The ribs extend to the suture, or on the body whorl to the base, and the threads cover the whole surface. The anal sulcus is shallow.
In it, he placed 2nd in his 1st round pool, losing only to Fuzzyness, a top-level European smasher. In 2nd round pools, he defeated players including Velocity and ROFL, and even had a close set with Kalamazhu, zero to death comboing him in the opening of Game 1. It went down to the last life Game 3, but PC Chris was eventually defeated, getting a huge cheer from the crowd on his exit.
A species of the carnivorous marsupials Ningaui, distinguishable from others of the genus by the tawny or greyish olive coloration of the pelage. The fur has a long and untidy appearance, with longer black guard hairs. The dark olive colour of the upperparts grades to pale grey at the ventral side. The narrow grey muzzle is whitish at lower part and over the face, the eyes are relatively small and close set.
The defence consisted of three close-set banks separated by ditches. On the west the banks and ditches are well-preserved and about wide in total. On the other two sides only terraces remain where the defences once ran. The fort appears to have had just one entrance in the middle of the west side, at a slightly oblique angle to the rampart line, with gaps in the ramparts and causeways across the ditches.
Sculpture :—On the penultimate whorl are five larger and five smaller spirals. On the body whorl are twenty-five spirals, of which seven are on the snout, besides uncounted threads, one in each of the broader furrows. Numerous close-set radial threads lattice the spaces between the main spirals, but do not cross them. Three spirals run along the fasciole, the outer rows of radial bars there contained are set in chevron.
Hallmarks of his style include close-set eyes, long noses, full lips, and dimpled chins. There is some evidence that he attempted to work from life when painting his subjects' faces, adding details of costume later in his studio. Costume remains the dominant focus of most of his portraits; he took greater care in depicting the colorful details and trimming of clothing than in showing his sitters' faces. Elizabeth Prioleau Roupell, 1753.
The preabdomen in male consists of five segments: tergites 1 and tergite 2 are fused. Between tergite 5 of the abdomen and the hypopygium only one sclerite is present dorsally, with two close-set spiracles on each side. Sometimes this sclerite is reduced and rarely membranous swellings occur in this region, which are usually retracted and visible only in macerated specimens. In the subfamily Oscinellinae the hypopygium usually has well developed cerci and edites.
The jaws are short and strong, with the premaxillaries and maxillaries fused into a single piece. The jaws are equipped with a single row of small, rounded, close-set teeth; the vomerine teeth are absent. The eyes are small and round; the anterior pair of nostrils are short tubes and the posterior pair are slit- like. The gill openings are small and located below the pectoral fins, which are small and triangular.
The surface is rendered somewhat rough by relatively fine, close-set and irregular spiral lines. There is no longitudinal sculpture except lines of growth. The species are large and ponderous, and include Megasurcula carpenteriana (Gabb, 1865) and Surcula tryoni Gabb 1865, from the coast of California. Megasurcula is a widely isolated and strongly characterized genus, belonging exclusively to the living fauna of the Pacific coast of North America as far as known at present.
The length of the shell attains 10 mm, its width 4.5 mm. (Original description) The small, white shell has a pale operculum with an apical protoconch. The whorls of the protoconch are translucent white, glassy, inflated, about one and a half in number, then gradually passing into the reticulate sculpture of the five or six subsequent turns. The suture is appressed with one or two close-set prominent spiral threads in front of it.
Sculpture: The protoconch consists of 2½ whorls and is microscopically obliquely reticulated. The body whorl has about forty spiral threads, the penultimate twelve, and so on till the topmost with three is reached. Between the larger threads smaller ones are intercalated, and gradually enlarge till of equal size. The small sharp radials, close set at the rate of about eighty to a whorl, override the spirals and produce beads at the points of intersection.
The suture is appressed. The axial sculpture consists on the earlier whorls of about 18 protractively oblique rounded ribs, slightly angulate at the shoulder, feeble on the fasciole and crossing the whorls except on the body whorl where they gradually become obsolete. The whole surface is spirally sculptured with fine close-set threads, here and there one a little more prominent than the rest, others near the siphonal canal coarser. The anal sulcus is wide and shallow.
The spiral sculpture consists of three or four threads with wider interspaces overrunning and sometimes slightly nodulating the peripheral ribs. In front of these on the base are about eight spiral threads conspicuously nodulous at the intersections with the minor ridges, and with much wider interspaces. On the younger shells these threads are more close set, fewer and less nodulous, the minor ridges inconspicuous. Finally between these in the adult are more or less distinct finer spiral striae.
There is other spiral sculpture of somewhat alternated small uniform close-set threads, made minutely scabrous by the intersection of sharp incremental lines and covering the whole surface. The; axial sculpture otherwise consists of six prominent sharp vertical ribs with much wider interspaces, practically continuous up the spire and extending from the suture to the siphonal canal. The aperture is narrow. The anal sulcus is shallow, rounded, not preceded by any obvious fasciole, close to the suture.
The nuclear whorls are not separated by any sudden change of character from the rest of the shell. The general sculpture consistis of numerous close-set (three or four to a millimeter) narrow plications extending from near the suture obliquely and flexuously across the whorls, in general correspondence with the lines of growth. On the body whorl they fade away anteriorly are and barely visible at the periphery. The lines of growth are generally pretty distinct.
The size of an adult shell varies between 35 mm and 100 mm. The shell is bulbous, with a somewhat elevated, lightly striated spire and rounded shoulders. The body whorl is rounded with convex sides, sometimes with granular striae below. The shell is pale blue, marbled with pinkish or purplish white and olivaceous- brown, under a light brown, thin epidermis, everywhere encircled by close-set narrow brown lines, which are usually broken up into brown and white articulations.
The anal fasciole is wide, constricted, a single strong cord and fine spiral threads between it and the suture. In front of the fasciole are about six strong cords slightly swollen as they override the ribs, with much wider interspaces occupied by fine spiral threads, the cord at the periphery stronger than the rest. The base shows threads of intermediate size, close- set. The outer lip is sharp, arcuate and undulate by the ends of the spiral cords.
This type of structure was employed by some aboriginal people of the Americas prior to European colonization and was later employed by both Hispanic and white settlers in Texas and elsewhere. Typically, a jacal consisted of slim close-set poles tied together and filled out with mud, clay and grasses. More sophisticated structures, such as those constructed by the Anasazi, incorporated adobe bricks—sun-baked mud and sandstone. Jacal construction is similar to wattle and daub.
Alvis Saladin, with white-marked hubs to show windup A drawback to the H-drive is the risk of driveline windup. When used for equally spaced wheels (i.e., rather than cargo trucks with close-set rear axles) the front two wheels are arranged so that both steer, the rear less so than the leading wheel. The varying track radii mean that when the vehicle drives in a curve on firm tarmac each wheel travels a different distance.
The third quarter was an even and lower-scoring contest. There were many stoppages, much congestion and very little opportunity for scoring by either side. Geelong's Cameron Mooney goaled seven minutes into the quarter, while Saints' captain Nick Riewoldt answered with a goal from a close set shot only two minutes later. After a goal to Paul Chapman in the nineteenth minute, the scores were tied at 58 apiece, and remained tied for more than ten minutes.
A very small species of marsupial, 45 to 58 millimetres in length. The fur is spiky and dishevelled in appearance, the upperparts are a mix of ginger and brown hairs, or grey-brown, with a rufous coloration across the flanks, ears and face. The eyes are close set and their muzzle is long and pointed. It rarely exceeds 58 mm in body length, with a tail 60 to 76 m long and a weight from 5.0 to 9.4 grams.
The miniature dairy goats may be judged by either of the two scorecards. The "Angora Goat scorecard" used by the Colored Angora Goat Breeder's Association (CAGBA), which covers the white and the colored goats, includes evaluation of an animal's fleece color, density, uniformity, fineness, and general body confirmation. Disqualifications include: a deformed mouth, broken down pasterns, deformed feet, crooked legs, abnormalities of testicles, missing testicles, more than 3 inch split in scrotum, and close-set or distorted horns.
The base of the shell shows seven rather close-set squarish cords, those nearer the axis most adjacent to each other. The axial sculpture consists of low thin sharp lamellae with wider interspaces, over riding the peripheral keel on the spire but not on the body whorl. They are prominent in the interspaces behind the base, retractively arcuate in the posterior interspace, and protractively arcuate in the others. They do not invade the somewhat flattish base.
The sculpture consistis of (on the body whorl) 23 stout, uniform, slightly flexuous rounded ribs extending from the suture to the siphonal canal with slightly narrower interspaces. The lines of increase are distinct, sometimes threadlike. These a re crossed by numerous close-set spiral threads, separated by narrow grooves, both faint near the suture. The threads grow stronger, regularly wider, and coarser gradually toward the siphonal canal, near which they are stronger than the obsolete ends of the transverse ribs.
The anal fasciole, contrary to the ordinary rule, projects, showing two small distinct adjacent threads, which overrun and somewhat uodulate numerous short abrupt peripheral wavelets. In front of the fasciole three strong alternate with three feeble revolving threads, and still in front of these six or eight small threads occupy the base. The siphonal part is decorticated. The transverse sculpture is composed of the peripheral wavelets before alluded to, which are rather close set and about 21 in number, on the penultimate whorl.
Body moderately stout and compressed, preoral snout moderately long, about half of distance from mouth to pectoral origins; mouth narrowly arched, nearly half as high as wide. Second dorsal fin somewhat larger than first; pectoral apices when laid back ending about opposite to first dorsal spine origin. Caudal peduncle moderately long, distance from second dorsal insertion to upper caudal origin about as long as distance from eye to third gill slits. Lateral trunk denticles close-set, conical and with hooked cusps.
Furthermore qianzhuang tended to be very locally run operations and were typically run only by a single family, or a close set of associates, in contrast the piaohao maintained branch offices across China, this allowed money to be paid into one branch office and withdrawn from another branch office - essentially "sent" - without there to be any actual physical silver sycees or strings of copper-alloy cash coins having to be arduously transported, under heavy guard, across great distances bringing many risks with them.
The Comp Air 10 is a turboprop-powered light civil utility aircraft manufactured in kit form. Very large for a homebuilt aircraft, it is configured as a mainly conventional high-wing monoplane with either taildragger or tricycle undercarriage. Its close-set twin tails are an unusual design feature for an aircraft in its class, intended to ensure that the aircraft can be parked inside standard-size hangars.Vandermeullen, Richard: 2011 Kit Aircraft Buyer's Guide, Kitplanes, Volume 28, Number 12, December 2011, page 49.
The pincushion ray has a slightly projecting snout and an oval, very thick pectoral fin disk somewhat longer than wide, containing 142-148 internal rays on either side. The eyes are large, with a projection on the upper eyelid, and are followed by prominent spiracles. The mouth is slightly arched and contains many close-set, rounded teeth, numbering 38-40 rows in the upper jaw and 38-48 in the lower jaw. There are five papillae on the floor of the mouth.
The stridulating organ, used to make a hissing sound (stridulation), consists of a large cluster of fine close-set bristles on the rear surface of the coxa of the palp, and two smaller clusters at the far end of the front surface of the coxa of the first leg, one ust above and the other just below the suture. Pocock, 1903 : On some genera and species of South American Aviculariidae. Annals and Magazine of Natural History, (7) 11: 81-115. (original text).
The suture s shallow. The aperture is not very open and measures about half the length of the shell The siphonal canal is straight, short and wide, and at the extremity truncately transected. The sculpture consists of nearly straight axial ribs (10 on the ultimate whorl) which are, on the upper part of the whorl, alone, distinctly visible, and of pretty faint, but somewhat close-set, spiral striations. The outer lip, which is somewhat broken, appears to bear a distinct trace of a sinus.
Above this on the body whorl are two and below it on the base six or seven somewhat smaller threads with wider interspaces followed to the end of the siphonal canal by a more adjacent series of similar threads. The axial sculpture consists of (about 10 on the body whorl) rounded ribs extending from the suture over the base with much wider interspaces. The incremental lines are close-set, sharp, minutely raised, giving a frosted effect to the surface. The aperture is narrowly ovate.
On the keel they are exceptionally strong, regular, and a little remote, as they are also at the top of the whorls in the suture. The whorls are angulated about the middle, projecting in a rather narrow, prominent, rounded keel, almost crenulated by growth-lines. The whole surface is covered by small, broadish, rounded, close-set spiral threads, somewhat granulated at the base. On the left side of the point of the beak and also on the earlier regular whorls they tend to become obsolete.
It is followed by a peripherally keeled turn and about eight subsequent whorls. The suture is distinct, appressed, with a nodulose band in front of it where the ends of the ribs are cut off by a very narrow fasciolar constriction. The spiral sculpture consists of a few incised lines cutting only the interspaces between the ribs, on the spire. On the body whorl there are six or seven of these lines, with much wider interspaces, followed by three strong cords close-set on the siphonal canal.
Outside the row of holes the usual sulcus is strongly marked. About midway from the suture to the lines of holes is a raised rib, rather obscure, but differing in different individuals and corresponding to an internal sulcus. Between the central ridges and the suture there are no undulations or transverse ridges of consequence. The sculpture consists of well marked, rather flattish, spiral, close-set threads, sometimes with a single finer intercalary thread, overlaid by smaller rather compressed transverse ridges, in harmony with the incremental lines.
The black-spotted whipray (Himantura astra) is a species of stingray in the family Dasyatidae, found in coastal waters off southern New Guinea and northern Australia. Long thought to be a variant of the related brown whipray (H. toshi), this species has an angular, diamond-shaped pectoral fin disc and a whip-like tail without fin folds. It is characterized by its dorsal color pattern, which consists of a variably extensive covering of small, close-set dark, and sometimes also white, spots on a grayish brown background.
Baboons vary in size and weight depending on the species. The smallest, the Kinda Baboon, is in length and weighs only , while the largest, the chacma baboon, is up to in length and weighs . All baboons have long, dog-like muzzles, heavy, powerful jaws with sharp canine teeth, close-set eyes, thick fur except on their muzzles, short tails, and nerveless, hairless pads of skin on their protruding buttocks called ischial callosities that provide for sitting comfort. Male hamadryas baboons have large white manes.
Ramsay is described as ugly and fleshy, with the sloping and big-boned body of one who will be fat later in life. His skin is blotchy and pink, with long, brittle black hair. His two most distinctive features are his eyes - small and close- set, pale and icy like his father's - and his mouth, consisting of two fleshy, wide lips that form a 'wormy' smile. The armor he wears in battle is red and black and resembles a flayed man opening his mouth to scream.
He worked on it in stages over a four-year period. The credit he felt he deserved (and did not receive) for his honesty about sexual urges and damaged relationships and his original publisher's decision not to stand by the novel in the face of criticism contributed to his lifelong feeling that the book had never been given its due. After An American Tragedy, it is his longest book; the final draft ran to over 700 pages in a close-set type.Ziff, p. 722.
The nucleus and interior walls of the umbilicus is dark brown. Several of the spiral grooves above and below are marked by a darker brown than the rest, and appear as brown lines. (Original description by W.H. Dall) The sculpture above, on the nuclear whorls, consists of close-set sharp longitudinal grooves with the ridges between them rounded and more or less beaded or nodulous. They are crossed by more or less evident lines of growth, which, however, are not necessarily coincident with the beading where present.
They are ventricose, with delicate, highly elevated spiral rib-striae,- of which there are about 5 on the upper and 10 on the last whorl. The surface of the ribs is slightly tuberculous, and the last one overhangs the succeeding whorl so as to form a broad deep channel at the suture. The interspaces have about the same width as the ribs, and are beautifully barred with close-set laminae. The base of the shell isconvex, with a small deep scalariform umbilicus, sculptured like the spire.
The Mediterranean horse mackerel has an elongated, compressed body (up to in length, common length ) with a large head and projected lower jaw. The nostrils are small and close- set and the eyes are protected by a well-developed adipose eyelid. Its upper jaw, or maxilla, is also large and wide. Its body is a dusky color, blue to grey to black in color dorsally and on top of the head, while the lower two- thirds of the body is white to silver in color.
The suture is appressed, obscure, behind a moderately impressed anal fasciole with a fine thread between them. The other spiral sculpture consists of (on the spire) two peripheral close-set threads overriding the ribs. In front of these on the body whorl are two or three obscure broad flattish ridges with rather wide interspaces overridden by the axial sculpture, and on the siphonal canal a few rather sharp threads more closely set. The axial sculpture consists of 10 or more short ribs on the penultimate whorl with narrower interspaces.
Between this keel and the root of the snout there are on the body whorl six weaker threads, which all rise into tubercles as they cross the ribs. On the snout are three or four weaker threads without tubercles. The interstices of these spirals are from twice to four times their width. The whole surface of the shell, except the embryonic whorls, is scored with very fine, sharp, close-set spirals, which, at crossing the lines of growth, are beset with microscopic blunt prickles which give the frosted aspect to the shell.
This area is spirally sculptured with numerous, very fine, close-set threads, one of which, two-thirds of the way to the keel, is more prominent than the others. These are crossed by numerous rather irregular low sharp ridges strongest near the keel, which they nodulate more or less, especially on the earlier whorls, and, fading out toward the suture, faintly reticulating the spirals. The keel is high, sharply compressed below, with a rounded edge. The whorl in front of it is spirally sculptured with numerous flat low ridges with narrower channelled interspaces.
Spirals—near the bottom of each whorl there is a slight keel on the line of the old sinus-scars It includes two, bluntly rounded, close-set threads, which are crenulated by a series of small squarish tubercles which, being arranged in pairs, one on each thread and placed one above the other, form short little bars. They are parted by furrows broader than they. There are about forty of these bars on the last whorl, becoming more irregular towards the mouth. On the penultimate whorl there are about fifty.
The whorls are slightly angulated at the shoulder, the angle obsolete on the body whorl. The axial sculpture, in addition to lines of growth of (on the penultimate whorl consists of about twenty-six) fine, sharp, narrow lamcllose riblets following the lines of growth, beading the presutural band, angulated at the shoulder and obsolete on the base, with wider, excavated interspaces. These are crossed by very numerous, fine, close- set, spiral threads, slightly coarser on the siphonal canal and minutely feebly reticulated by the incremental lines. The body and the columella are polished.
The sculpture consists of (on the body whorl 22) somewhat sigmoid rounded ribs with subequal interspaces, reaching from the suture over the whorl to the siphonal canal. They are constricted over the narrow anal fasciole and feebler on the anterior part of the body whorl. These ribs are cut into subnodulous segments by deep narrow sharp spiral grooves, with much wider interspaces, two or three on the spire, nine or ten between the fasciole and the siphonal canal on the body whorl. On the canal are five or six coarse close-set threads.
The sculpture of the shell shows a single, sharp keel round the periphery, showing at the base of the spire-whorls. The shell has a thread- like spiral rib below the rather deep suture of each whorl (varying in position), numerous but slight flexuous striae below the rib, and in some specimens minute close-set curved longitudinal striae on the upper whorls. The base is nearly smooth or marked only with microscopic lines of growth. The seven whorls of the short spire are compressed, slightly shouldered by the infrasutural rib.
The suture is distinct, appressed, bordered by a small thread behind and a strong white cord in front betAveen it and the fascicle which is constricted narrow and minutely spirally striated. The other spiral sculpture consists of (on the spire two) peripheral whitish cords, the anterior stronger and swollen where it passes over the ribs. On the body whorl in front of the periphery are seven similar but smaller cords with wider, minutely striated interspaces sometimes carrying an intercalary thread. On the siphonal canal are about half a dozen close-set threads.
Other spiral sculpture consists of (on the spire one or two) strong peripheral cords, swollen and almost angulated where they override the ribs. On the body whorl there are six or seven cords with much wider interspaces and as many more smaller close-set threads on the siphonal canal. The axial sculpture consists of seven or eight very prominent short ribs on the penultimate whorl; fading out on the body whorl, and rather prominent widely spaced incremental lines most conspicuous on the body whorl. The aperture is subovate.
Face of a hamadryas baboon (Papio hamadryas) All baboons have long, dog-like muzzles, heavy, powerful jaws with sharp canine teeth, close-set eyes, thick fur except on their muzzles, short tails, and rough spots on their protruding buttocks, called ischial callosities. These calluses are nerveless, hairless pads of skin that provide for the sitting comfort of the baboon. All baboon species exhibit pronounced sexual dimorphism, usually in size, but also sometimes in colour or canine development. Males of the hamadryas baboon species also have large white manes.
Outside the row of hole, s the usual sulcus is strongly marked. About midway from the suture to the lines of holes is a raised rib, rather obscure, but differing in different individuals and corresponding to an internal sulcus. Between the central ridges and the suture there are no undulations or transverse ridges of consequence. The sculpture of the shell shows a well marked, rather flattish, spiral, close-set threads, sometimes with a single finer intercalary thread, overlaid by smaller rather compressed transverse ridges, in harmony with the incremental lines.
The design aspects of the tower are significant, imitating forms of construction inspired by Lombard architectural traditions, highlighted by the materials used and by the quality of the details, like the ogival windows outlined with close-set ashlars. The façades have a uniform appearance thanks to the building method of standardized measures and materials, clearly seen in the stone courses and the cornerstones with characteristic bosses. The opening on the first floor was originally the entrance, accessed by a drawbridge operated from a niche above it. Today's entrance corresponds to an earlier opening.
As with all zebra species, the Grevy's zebra's pelage has a black and white striping pattern. The stripes are narrow and close-set, being broader on the neck, and they extend to the hooves. The belly and the area around the base of the tail lack stripes and are just white in color, which is unique to the Grevy's zebra. Due to the stripes being closer together and thinner than most of the other zebras, it is easier for them to make a good escape and to hide from predators.
The standard engine used was a JPX D-320 two-stroke, but this engine is no longer available and any small horizontally-opposed engine in the range can be used. An engine of this power provides a takeoff run of . The propeller used has a folding design to reduce drag and the fuel tank fitted has a volume of . The landing gear uses dual, close-set mainwheels and a smaller nosewheel, with no wingtip wheels The company provides complete ready-to-fly aircraft and kits which offer the aircraft in various states of completion.
The striae between the infrasutural and peripheral rib turn of the left, while those between the peripheral and the next rib (or in the upper whorls between the rib in the middle and the base) turn to the right. The same alternate order is to a great extent observable as to the direction of the striae on the base of the body whorl. These striae are crossed by fine close- set spiral lines, producing a reticulated appearance. All the whorls are similarly sculptured, except the top whorl or apex, which is smooth.
The reticulate whipray or honeycomb stingray (Himantura uarnak) is a species of stingray in the family Dasyatidae. It inhabits coastal and brackish waters across the Indo-Pacific region from South Africa to Taiwan to Australia, favoring sandy habitats. A large species reaching in width, the reticulate whipray has a diamond-shaped pectoral fin disc and an extremely long tail without fin folds. Both its common and scientific names refer to its ornate dorsal color pattern of many small, close-set dark spots or reticulations on a lighter background.
The whorls are sloping forward flatly from these threads to an angle at the shoulder forming the periphery. This part of the whorl is minutely spirally threaded. The other spiral sculpture consists of (on the base about five) strong threads with wider interspaces containing minor threads all merging toward and on the siphonal canal into a series of subequal close-set threads. The anal fasciole has its deepest part at the shoulder angle, but the arcuate incremental lines on the whorl behind the angle indicate that it was when complete wide and shallow.
The length of the shell attains 21.5 mm, its diameter 9.5 mm. (Original description) The white shell is covered with a brownish olive periostracum. The shell contains five or more moderately rounded whorls exclusive of the (lost) protoconch. The suture is distinct with a wide rounded ridge in front of it, forming the posterior boundary of the anal fasciol The spiral sculpture consists of a few obscure threads on the fasciole and in front of the shoulder 8 or 9, on the body whorl 15 to 18 flattish, rather close-set threads smaller and closer anteriorly and absent from the siphonal canal.
In the sinus-area there are very faint traces of dense spiral texture . Just above the shoulder two or three small close-set furrows appear, and from the shoulder down to the point of the shell the surface is scored with shallow, crimped, rounded little furrows, which are much narrower than the flat intervals which part them but become stronger and closer toward the point of the shell. Below the middle of the whorls there is an obtuse angled keel forming the edge of the shoulder. The colour of the shell is, spire under a pale, membranaceous, glossy, chestnut epidermis.
The fasciole is narrow, excavate, and crossed by close-set scales. The radials are arcuate round-backed riblets, parted by interstices of equal breadth, fading out on the base, absent behind the varix, amounting to thirteen on the antepenultimate whorl The spirals are close narrow threads, alternating in size on the peripheral area, and over-riding the riblets. On the body whorl there are twenty-five, of which ten ascend the penultimate. The aperture is fortified by a broad and high varix, from which a free limb reaches across the aperture, reducing the width of the aperture.
The length of the shell attains 12 mm. (Original description) Thethin, inflated, polished shell shows a brown reticulated protoconch of three whorls, and five subsequent whorls. The color is yellowish white, with faint axially directed streaks and blotches of olive brown, and articulating dots of the same in the region of the siphonal canal. The spiral sculpture consists of faint close-set scratches or half-obsolete minute threads more or less visible over the whole surface, and on the body whorl in front of the fasciole about twenty-five channelled sharply cut grooves separated by considerably wider flat interspaces.
Microblading artists begin each appointment by discussing their client's desired look and needs before measuring and sketching out the placement of the eyebrows. Measuring brow placement is a multi-step process that begins by determining the center of the face and the set of the client's eyes. The starting point, arch, and ending point are determined by whether the eyes are normal, close-set, or wide-set. The artist sketches out the full brow with the appropriate thickness and arch height to give the client a good idea of what the finished brows will look like and set the outline for the microblading.
The spiral sculpture in front of the shoulder consists of fine, even close-set equal threads, covering the surface, including the siphonal canal. The axial sculpture consists of feeble incremental lines arcuate on the fasciole and the antesutural ridge, also of narrow low sigmoid ribs beginning and forming a shoulder in front of the fasciole and obsolete in front of the periphery, differing in strength in different individuals and averaging fourteen on the body whorl. The anal sulcus is wide and deep, rounded The outer lip is thin and sharp and much produced. The inner lip shows a thin layer of callus.
The apical ones are smooth, rounded and regular The rest are sloping, scarcely convex, with a double keel above, beneath which is a deepish rut, and about the middle of the whorl a stouter keel ornamented with rather close-set, gem-like tubercles. The interstices between the keels are ridged and grooved. The suture of the upper whorls is transversely plicate, and of the lower narrowly canaliculate. The body whorl is rather convex with the tubercles, becoming longitudinallv narrower, and the keel bearing them less prominent, beneath which there are several acute keels and intervening lirae.
The spiral sculpture consists of extremely fine, close-set, regular threads, uniform over the entire surface, but scarcely visibly developed in the first four whorls, which appear polished to the naked eye. The threads on the body whorl are about nine in the breadth ol a millimeter. The transverse sculpture consists of rather stout, sharp ribs (on the seventh whorl ten) which extend from suture to suture, with a slight fiexuosity near the suture, but no marked interruption for a fasciole. On the body whorl there are fourteen of these ribs, beside the large shouldered varix behind the aperture.
The subequal jaws are anteriorly lined with rows of numerous close-set, depressible, and retrorse teeth; vomerine teeth are absent. Footballfish females differ from those of other ceratioid families by their shortened, blunt snout; along with the chin, it is covered in sensory papillae. Originating above or slightly in advance of the small eye is an illicium (the "fishing rod") and at its end a bioluminescent, bulbous esca (the "fishing lure", its light owing to symbiotic bacteria). Escal morphology varies between species, and it may or may not possess denticles or accessory appendages, the latter either branched or unbranched.
Goatswood, first described in the short story "The Moon-Lens", is an isolated town surrounded by woods to the east of Brichester. The narrator of that story is struck by the town's atmosphere: "The close-set dull-red roofs, the narrow streets, the encircling forests--all seemed somehow furtive." As in Lovecraft's Innsmouth, the residents of Goatswood have a distinctive, offputting appearance; a typical resident is described as "revoltingly goatlike," resembling "a medieval woodcut of a satyr," and clad in "grotesquely voluminous" garments. Instead of worshiping a race of monsters from the sea (the Deep Ones), however, they worship Shub- Niggurath.
Dowding, G. (1954) Finer Points in the Spacing and Arrangement of Type Wace & Co.: London; Felici 2003; Bringhurst 2004. For example, an increasing number of computer font design guidelines now recommend the use of quarter-em spaces rather than third-em spaces. With regard to spacing, modern designers are retracing the steps of the 19th-century design-led typographer William Morris. Morris rejected the restrictions of commercial typesetting which at the time demanded traditional typesetting's spacing rules, and, declaring a "rage for beauty", advocated close-set type and dark "colour" (lack of whitespace, creating uniformity of appearance).
Below the carina is another remote strong thread, which meets the outer lip. Within it is another, not quite so strong nor so distan. Occupying the space from this to the middle are five flat close-set threads, followed by three rather more separated and roughly beaded threads. The innermost of which, like a twisted cable, forms a sort of columella with a chink between it and the sharp edge of the columellar region of the inner lip, and advances into a small tooth at the angle where it joins the outer lip on the base.
On the upper whorls, four revolving ribs with smaller inconspicuous ones between them, crossed by faint plications (more evident on the smaller whorls). These produce nodosities which, on the four principal ribs, and especially on the third one, counting from the suture toward the base, rise to acutely pointed projections separated by an incurved scallop of about twice the width of the projections. Toward the aperture the ribs and nodosities become more equal in size. The base of the shell is flattened, impervious, sculptured with some fifteen close set flattened revolving ribs crossed by impressed radiating lines of growth.
Although similar in size to polecats, its attenuate body, long neck, very short legs, slim tail, large orbicular ears and close-set pelage is much closer in conformation to weasels and stoats. The dentition of the black- footed ferret closely resembles that of the European and steppe polecat, though the back lower molar is vestigial, with a hemispherical crown which is too small and weak to develop the little cusps which are more apparent in polecats. Males measure in body length and in tail length, thus constituting 22–25% of its body length. Females are typically 10% smaller than males.
The spiral sculpture shows four narrow prominent keels, of which the second is peripheral, the third marginates the base, and the fourth is on the base, the interspaces much wider and becoming narrower anteriorly. There are also seven closer even low threads on the base with subequal interspaces. The posterior wide interspaces are sculptured with close-set fine spiral thread. The axial sculpture shows numerous equal and equally spaced arcuate threads, with wide interspaces, which on the upper whorls bead the posterior carina, but later are chiefly visible in the interspaces and extend over the whole shell.
The small spire is nearly terminal and laterally inclined. The open aperture is very much lengthened.H.A. Pilsbry (1890) Manual of Conchology XII; Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia, 1890 (described as Gena lentricula) Schepman gives a somewhat divergent description: the posterior part of the shell is nearly entirely yellowish- white with a green tinge, moreover a few smaller patches of the same colour are dispersed over the anterior part, a few dark spiral lines are more conspicuous on the posterior part. The surface is covered with very fine, close-set spiral and by more remote concentric striae.
Paracyclotosaurus davidii had a feeble dentition. The only teeth that could be driven into the body of an animal seized in the mouth are the ones on the vomers and palatines, and these stand very little above the maxillary teeth, a close-set row lacking points of any kind. It is very likely that the creature caught its food as the living Giant Salamander is said to do - by waiting until the prey came near, then quickly opening its enormous mouth and swallowing it. The most probable food would be small fishes, up to some 15 cm.
The pectoral fins are large and broad, and the anal fin is larger than the second dorsal fin. The short and broad caudal fin has an indistinct lower lobe and a prominent ventral notch near the tip of the upper lobe. The skin is thick and covered by well-calcified, arrowhead-shaped dermal denticles, which are more sparse in young sharks. The back and sides are light gray to brown, with an irregular pattern of close-set darker saddles and blotches along with many dark (sometimes light) spots, and a dark stripe from under the eye to the pectoral fin origins.
The suture is distinct, appressed, with a nodulose band in front of it where the ends of the ribs are cut off by a very narrow fasciolar constriction. The spiral sculpture consists of a few incised lines cutting only the interspaces between the ribs, on the spire. On the body whorl there are six or seven of these lines, with much wider interspaces, followed by three strong cords close-set on the siphonal canal. The axial sculpture consists of (on the body whorl about 13) protractively oblique whitish narrow ribs extending from the fasciole to the cords of the siphonal canal, with subequal interspaces and not continuous up the spire.
The length of the remaining whorls of the holotype is 8 mm, the diameter 4 mm. (Original description) The small, white shell is decollate, but consists originally of five or more whorls exclusive of the protoconch. The first two remaining intact whorls (the first is eroded) are axial]y sculptured with about 20 close-set obliquely protractive rounded ribs cut by sharp grooves which make of the interspaces rounded nodules, the second row from the preceding suture being more prominent and forming a shoulder to the whorl. There are five of these rows on the spire, and the ribs they represent extend from suture to suture.
Of these finer spirals, the one which meets the outer lip often rises into prominence and defines the base, while another above the carina sometimes stands out more strongly and more beaded than the rest. Longitudinals: The whole surface is close-set with these, which are crossed by the spirals, than which they are broader but less sharp, closer- set, and more irregular and interrupted, especially near the upper line of tubercles and near the umbilicus. The color of the shell is a bluish white when alive, with a translucent calcareous layer through which the nacre shines. The high spire is a little scalar.
There are pools in the centre of the quadrangles (the one in the lower quadrangle is the longer of the two); the writer Simon Jenkins said that these are "almost puddles", and saw them as relics of Harrison's Mediterranean plan. The writer Peter Sager, however, thought that the pond represents the canal basin that previously occupied the site. The main entrance leads into the upper quadrangle, which has the hall on its east side. The square-mullioned windows facing the quadrangles are arranged in close-set groups of three; at the east end of the upper quadrangle, the common room has a larger bay window.
MS 2200/81. Excavations conducted between 2013 and 2017 at Tell Khaiber, around 20 km from Ur, have revealed the foundations of a large mudbrick fortress with an unusual arrangement of perimeter close-set towers and is dated, by an archive of almost 200 administrative tablets, to Ayadaragalama.Odette Boivin, The First Dynasty of the Sealand in Mesopotamia, Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG, 2018, A neo-Babylonian official took a bronze band dedicatory inscription of A-ia-da-a-ra, MAN ŠÚ “king of the world,” to Tell en-Nasbeh, probably as an antique curio, where it was discarded to be found in the 20th century.
The spiral sculpture on the early whorls consists of two strong cords one on each side of the periphery between which are first one, later two, and finally four smaller threads. The posterior cord gives the whorl a slight shoulder. On the body whorl in front of the anterior cord to the end of the siphonal canal are smaller, more or less alternate flattish cords close-set, the interspaces wider on the canal. The axial sculpture consists of (on the penultimate whorl about 20) rounded sigmoid ribs with wider or subequal interspaces, crossing the early whorls, becoming less evident on the later whorls, and obsolete on the base of the body whorl.
The spiral sculpture consists of alternate threads with narrower interspaces, the major threads (on the spire two or three) rather prominent, especially the posterior one, which forms a sort of shoulder to the whorl, more conspicuous in the earlier whorls. The minor threads usually number one on the spire, but on the body whorl sometimes two or even three in the interspaces between the major threads. The threads are little or not at all swollen where they cross the ribs but are rendered harsh by the intersection of fine sharp close-set incremental lines. Other axial sculpture consists of (on the body whorl seven) prominent rounded ribs, crossing the whole whorl, with subequal interspaces, and practically continuous vertically up the spire.
Some of the many cafés and restaurants along Sheep Street Sheep Street runs from Ely Street eastwards to the Waterside. It was a residential quarter in the 16th century, some of the buildings were rebuilt following the fire of 1595, although many, such as Number 40, date from 1480. Formerly a two-story building that was extended in the early twentieth century has a lower story of substantial close-set studding: the upper is of more widely spaced thin vertical timbers. As the name suggests Sheep Street, which leads down from the Town Hall to Waterside and the RST, was from early times and until the late 19th century, the area where sheep, brought from the neighbouring Cotswold Hills to be bought and sold.
At Sparkbrook, it meets the A34 Stratford Road and there is a crossroads with the A4540 and B4126. The two main routes overlap around central Birmingham and meet the A4540 Middleway inner ring road. The former route of the A41 through inner Birmingham is now the B4100 heading past the National Express Birmingham coach station, and passes near St Chad's RC Cathedral. The A41 resumes at Constitution Hill near Snow Hill train station, passing through Hockley where it meets the northern section of the A4540. There is a staggered junction with the A4040 as the road passes through Handsworth (at this point known as Soho Road) which is a particular bottleneck with narrow lanes, on-street parking, bad drivers and several close-set junction, often very badly congested.
Sir Hugo produced a strong finish and ran on in "dogged fashion" to prove the best of the colts but could never get on terms with the filly and finished second, beaten two lengths, with Orme well beaten in fifth. On 27 September Sir Hugo again challenged La Fleche in the £10,000 Lancashire Plate over one mile at Manchester Racecourse, but was never a threat and finished fifth of the eleven runners At Newmarket on 11 October he produced an excellent performance in defeat in the ten furlong Lowther Stakes, losing by a neck in a "close set-to" with El Diablo, to whom he was conceding fifteen pounds. In the Limekiln Stakes over one mile at the Newmarket Houghton meeting, Sir Hugo was provided with a pacemaker named Flank March, but the tactic failed as he was well beaten, finishing third to Orme and El Diablo. 3rd Earl of Bradford, Sir Hugo's owner and breeder.
Deadliest Catch draws consistently high ratings for Discovery Channel; season 3 attracted more than 49 million viewers throughout the season and over 3 million viewers per first-run episode, making it one of 2007's most successful programs on cable TV.Total viewership numbers are stated in commercials for season 4. Overall ratings for season 6 exceeded season 5's by more than 10%; as a result, Deadliest Catch regularly wins its U.S. primetime telecast timeslot (Tuesdays, 9:00-10:00 p.m. EST). Ratings for the season opener "Slow Burn" drew a record 4.6 million viewers; on June 22, 2010, "Blown Off Course", the first of five episodes that dealt with Phil Harris's stroke and its impact, drew 5.2 million viewers, more than 10% over "Slow Burn". On July 13, 2010, the episode "Redemption Day", which dealt with the death of Harris at its close, set another record audience for the show with 8.5 million viewers, making the episode the third-most-viewed broadcast in Discovery Channel's history.
He was bitterly disappointed with this decision, and although he captained England twice more in his final two Tests against South Africa in 1929, from then on he put most of his effort into captaining Nottinghamshire into a dominant position within the English County cricket competition. In 1930 and the following years, Carr was instrumental in developing the Bodyline bowling tactic together with future England captain Douglas Jardine and the two Nottinghamshire fast bowlers Harold Larwood and Bill Voce. Carr used this tactic of instructing his bowlers to aim at the bodies of batsmen and placing a close set field on the leg side to take catches fended away from the body with the bat and perfected it as he led Nottinghamshire to success in the county competition. Jardine then used Larwood and Voce in similar fashion on the 1932–33 English tour of Australia, the tactic resulting in injuries to Australian batsmen and raising the ire of the Australian public.
In the added appendices added to the 1909 re-print of Caius' work, the editors suggested that the type of dogs may have been brought into the British Isles as early as 900 BC by a branch of the Celts moving from Spain into Cornwall and on into Wales, England and Ireland. Theories on the origin of the Welsh Springer Spaniel support this theory, as it is believed that the breed specifically is a direct descendant of the "Agassian hunting dog" described in the hunting poem Cynegetica attributed to Oppian of Apamea, which belonged to the Celtic tribes of Roman Britain: > There is a strong breed of hunting dog, small in size but no less worthy of > great praise. These the wild tribes of Britons with their tattooed backs > rear and call by the name of Agassian. Their size is like that of worthless > and greedy domestic table dogs; squat, emaciated, shaggy, dull of eye, but > endowed with feet armed with powerful claws and a mouth sharp with close-set > venomous tearing teeth.
Gerodermia osteodysplastica is characterized by symptoms and features which affect the connective tissues, skin and skeletal system. These are: wrinkly, loose skin over the face, abdomen, and extremities (hands, feet) on the dorsal sides usually worsened by chronic joint laxity and hyperextensibility; fragmented elastic fibers of the skin that are reduced in number, with disorientation of collagen fibers; osteopenia and osteoporosis, with associated fractures; malar hypoplasia (underdeveloped cheek bone), maxillary hypoplasia (underdeveloped upper jaw), mandibular prognathism (protrusion of the lower jaw and chin), bowed long bones, platyspondyly (flattened spine) related to vertebral collapse; kyphoscoliosis (scoliosis with kyphosis, or "hunch back"), metaphyseal peg (an unusual outgrowth of metaphyseal tissue which protrudes into the epiphyseal region of the bone, near the knee); and the overall physical effects and facial appearance of dwarfism with premature aging. Other features and findings include: intrauterine growth retardation, congenital hip dislocations, winged scapulae (shoulder blades), pes planus (fallen arches), pseudoepiphyses of the second metacarpals (upper bone of the fingers), hypotelorism (close-set eyes), malformed ears, developmental delay, failure to thrive and abnormal electroencephalograph (EEG) readings. Dental and orthodontal abnormalities in addition to maxillary hypoplasia and mandibular prognathism have also been observed in gerodermia osteodysplastica.
Steerpike might be called the antagonist of the Gormenghast trilogy, but in truth he is more of an anti-hero; the first book for example is largely focused on him, only covering the first year of the eponymous hero Titus's life. Steerpike could also be considered an archetypal Machiavellian schemer: a highly intelligent, ruthless character willing to justify any and all means to reach his end. In the books, Mervyn Peake describes his personality as follows: > if ever he had harboured a conscience in his tough narrow breast he had by > now dug out and flung away the awkward thing — flung it so far away that > were he ever to need it again he could never find it. High-shouldered to a > degree little short of malformation, slender and adroit of limb and frame, > his eyes close-set and the colour of dried blood, he is climbing the spiral > staircase of the soul of Gormenghast, bound for some pinnacle of the itching > fancy — some wild, invulnerable eyrie best known to himself; where he can > watch the world spread out below him, and shake exultantly his clotted > wings.
