The mytheme of the "outlandish" and "savage" Seven who threatened the city has traditionally seemed to be based on Bronze Age history in the generation before the Trojan War,"There is no reason to suppose that the tale was not based on historical fact" Cambridge Ancient History II (1978:168), noted by Burkert 1992:107n. when in the Iliad's Catalogue of Ships only the remnant Hypothebai ("Lower Town") subsists on the ruins of Thebes.

In 1891 Ulrich von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff declared that the seven gates existed only for symmetry with the seven assailants, whose very names vary: some have their own identity, like Amphiaraus the seer, "who had his sanctuary and his cult afterwards... Others appear as stock figures to fill out the list," Burkert remarks.

The American poet John Ashbery said of Ern Malley, in a 1988 interview in the magazine Jacket: > I think it was the first summer I was at Harvard as a student, and I > discovered a wonderful bookstore there where I could get modern poetry – > which I'd never been able to lay my hands on very much until then – and they > had the original edition of The Darkening Ecliptic with the Sidney Nolan > cover.

Yet in the U.S. you would be extremely hard put to look at the trading of stocks and government bonds, much less the dollar, and divine that a major party candidate, Trump, appears ready to start a trade war and appears flexible about the wisdom of being too punctilious in honoring one's debts. from Reuters
You can listen to every speech they have made, and read every op-ed they have written, and you will be hard put to find a single mention of an undeniable economic fact: raising the minimum wage will put some currently employed people out of work, and will also prevent some unemployed people from getting work. from The Hill
Early in the 21st century, home LAN convergence so rapidly integrated home routers, wireless access points, and DSL modems that users were hard put to identify the resulting box they used to connect their computers to their Internet service. A general term for such a combined device is a residential gateway.
This expansion may not have been the right police. By 1844 power looms accounted for 75% to 80% of the looms in use in England and the Irish mills working with hand looms were hard put to compete. Despite reductions in wages there was a general decline in employment. The inside of the Mayfield.
This move allowed Grau to see the absence of the torpedoes that supposedly filled Esmeralda. One of Huáscars shots hit directly on board, beheading the ordering bugler and mutilating the gun crews. The battle dragged on. The sailors from Huascar were very hard put to try and hit the Chilean corvette, seeing as, from Huascars point of view, their own countrymen and the Peruvian port were behind Esmeralda.
Jacques Herzog Herzog & de Meuron was founded in Basel in 1978. In 2001, Herzog & de Meuron were awarded the Pritzker Prize, the highest of honours in architecture. Jury chairman J. Carter Brown commented, "One is hard put to think of any architects in history that have addressed the integument of architecture with greater imagination and virtuosity." This was in reference to HdM's innovative use of exterior materials and treatments, such as silkscreened glass.
Ars Technica reviewer Scott Gilbertson wrote about version 1.0 in April 2016. He praised its innovative features, such as its tab handling, while noting that it will most likely remain a niche browser and not see widespread uptake. In October 2018, Gilbertson gave version 2.0 a very positive review and stated that Vivaldi is now his usual browser and that he would be hard put to go back to a browser without its unique features.
He also introduced vanilla artificial pollination techniques to Java, making the crop much more productive and cheaper.GROWING VANILLA PLANT , staff.unud.ac.id Due to Teijsmann's hard put effort the number of plant collections in the garden had grown from 900 in 1822 to 10,000 in 1863. Teijsmann also played a large role in the separation of the Botanic Gardens from the adjacent Buitenzorg Palace on 30 May 1868, a move which gave the public and scientists more access to the Gardens.
Yet, writing to Jack Common in April 1936 about setting up shop, "Orwell sounds hard put to find £20 in order to stock his shelves, rather than a man who had received £500 a couple of months earlier."A Kind Of Compulsion, p. 531.

Samuel had noticed that one of his men seemed very sad. He called the man into his office and he said he was overwhelmed by debt and hard-put not to kill himself. Samuel made close enquiries and learned that the main cause was bills in connection with his wife's illness. He told the man that he thought the creditors could be induced to take half and that he had a friend who had given him the means to pay the other half.
The havelis in Rajasthan in general and the havelis in Shekhawati in particular are famous for their colorful frescos. These havelis were owned by rich traders, for whom the havelis for most part served as symbols of status. However, the families then also used to be huge and anything less than a mansion in terms of size, would have been hard put to accommodate a family. Moreover, business was also usually collectively owned by the members of the family- brothers or kins.
He, however, has no qualms participating in a drinking session with Tomas and Ka Noli. Senator Cabalfin comes to confession one time, and Father Marty is hard put hearing of his sins, his hair becoming disheveled and also growing a five-o'clock shadow. They were indeed numerous and the Senator actually had several pages of notes on his sins, arranged in alphabetical order to help his memory. As the Senator hits "G" for "Graft", Father Marty takes a break to have a bite to eat.
Elizabeth probably secretly married Alexei Razumovsky, a handsome Ukrainian-born chorister. With much of his fame resting on his effective efforts to modernize Russia, Tsar Peter desired to see his children married into the royal houses of Europe, something which his predecessors had consciously avoided. His heir was born of his first marriage to a noblewoman and had no problem securing a bride from the ancient house of Brunswick-Lüneburg. However, he was hard put to arrange similar marriages for the daughters born of his second wife.
The breeders of Ostfriesland aimed to develop their horses along this path, producing a lighter riding horse with all the economical traits that had made them popular before. Fearing that the Thoroughbred would detract from the amenable nature of their horses, the Ostfriesen breeders chose to use Arabian blood instead. Beginning in 1948, such stallions were made available to the breeders, who scarcely used them, being hard-put to change their beloved horses so drastically. However, the evidence was convincing, as the Freisen-Arabs were horses of excellent character, great capacity and riding quality.
While military service continued to appeal to the young men, civilian service did not. The District Commissioner was hard put in 1922 for instance to produce 200 able-bodied young men to work on a local road-building project. He would resort to conscripting them under the 'Native Authority Ordinance', the infamous labor circular written in 1919 by then B.E.A Governor Edward Northey. Politically, it is observed that the Nyongik assimilated back into the traditional power structure in much the same positions they had left some three or four years earlier.
The band patched the lineup and eventually traveled overseas to the U.K. themselves, where their reception was considerably warmer than in the United States. They toured with the band FM and established a cult following in the process. Churchill-Dries, Chadock and Wright would eventually let go of White Sister and go on to form another group with keyboardist Michael Lord, Tattoo Rodeo, which was signed to Atlantic Records. There released "Rode Hard Put Away Wet" in 1991 and had a radio hit with the song "Been Your Fool".
The narrator soon falls in love with Elodia, but is shocked by her liberated traits and habits. Elodia is a banker by profession; she drinks alcohol and imbibes a Martian drug, has affairs with men, and eventually reveals an illegitimate child.Everett Franklin Bleiler with Richard Bleiler, Science- Fiction: The Early Years, Kent, OH, Kent State University Press, 1990; p. 753.

It spread the blame of the partition of the Republic of Czechoslovakia, made Poland a participant in the process and confused political expectations. Poland was accused of being an accomplice of Nazi Germany – a charge that Warsaw was hard-put to deny.Watt 1998, 386. The Polish side argued that Poles in Zaolzie deserved the same ethnic rights and freedom as the Sudeten Germans under the Munich Agreement. The vast majority of the local Polish population enthusiastically welcomed the change, seeing it as a liberation and a form of historical justice,Zahradnik 1992, 86.
On the third day of the battle the Persian fleet was ready to attack the Allied lines in full force.Herodotus VIII, 15 Seeing the Persian fleet assemble, the Allies attempted to block the Straits of Artemisium as best they could, and waited for the Persians to attack.

The Beguiled holds a 88% approval rating on review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, based on 17 reviews, with a weighted average of 7/10. Vincent Canby of The New York Times wrote that the film "is not, indeed, successful as baroque melodrama, and, towards the end, there are so many twists and turns of plot and character that everything that's gone before is neutralized. People who consider themselves discriminating moviegoers, but who are uncommitted to Mr. Siegel will be hard put to accept it, other than as a sensational, misogynistic nightmare."Canby, Vincent (April 1, 1971).
Arrogant and unscrupulous pasta factory owner Alfonso Tammaro tells his workers Enzo, Carmine and Bandula, that the factory will close and that they are laid off. When they ask if they can work in his new factory, he tells them he doesn't need them since it's completely automated. They are hard put to make ends meet, but Enzo's wife Aurora, who has been hired by Tammaro as a translator, convinces Tammaro to hire them as security guards at the old factory, which he now uses to store his latest enthusiasm, modern art. They find the art bizarre and the prices outrageously high.
Steam had the advantage of quietness but demanded a large hull. Large wooden hulls were not feasible for mass production so steel was used. This meant hulls and machinery were beyond the scope of the small yards engaged in the rapid expansion of the coastal forces, and the SGB thus competed for berths in yards already hard put to produce urgently required convoy escorts. Also they competed in the demand for mild steel and steam power plants against the more urgently demanded destroyers; accordingly the planned 51 further vessels were never ordered, while the two units ordered from Thornycroft were never begun due to enemy action.
Carli Tornehave, born 26 August 1932 in Stockholm, is a Swedish singer and actor.The Gramophone – 1960– 38 p273 "Tornehave is a singer of real quality, even if his work does reflect that of his idol, Frank Sinatra. Britain would be hard put to produce a vocalist of Carli's equal and I hope we may be allowed to hear more of this artist in the future" He has participated at Melodifestivalen six times; in 1962 he performed Anneli and När min vän, in 1963 he performed Twist till menuett and En gång i Stockholm. The song "En gång i Stockholm" won the contest, but Monica Zetterlund was appointed to represent Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest in London.
In effect, as Soviet production of heavy weapons vastly increased in the middle part of the war, while manpower was hard put to keep pace, the men of the fortified regions were almost entirely trained as heavy weapon crews, in order to hold ground by firepower rather than by manpower. This was a very practical solution, given that so much of the Soviet-German front was impracticable for offensive action by either side. The new field fortified regions were most extensively employed during Operation Ring. Don Front was outnumbered by the German forces of 4th Panzer and 6th Armies, but those armies were in no position to attack to break the siege due to lack of supplies.
According to Yates's biographer, AJ Smithers, "The book can by no stretch of the imagination be called an autobiography; rather it is a scrap-book of the Edwardian age as it was seen by the upper-middle or lower-upper classes. It is none the worse for that ... Real characters, and some thinly disguised abound; but in reading it one is hard put to distinguish the experiences of William Mercer and those of Boy Pleydell." The memoirs have been called "denunciations of the changing times", and despite the claim to veracity in the introductory note are "highly subjective opinions on the past", with unhistorical episodes that "valorise the past at the expense of the post-war present".
It was extremely well received, with Charles Spencer in the Daily Telegraph commenting that "Nick Payne's drama lasts just over an hour but packs in more than most shows manage in three times that length. It is playful, intelligent and bursting with ideas, but also achieves a powerful undertow of emotion" while Paul Taylor in the Independent wrote that "one would be hard put to begin to do justice to the dazzling way it creates rules, while at the same time being wise enough not to jettison the old rule book either". It transferred to the Duke of York's Theatre in November 2012. That month it won the Evening Standard Theatre Award for Best Play. In January 2013 Payne revealed that a film adaptation was under way.
Six games into the season the Blues were in first place, with four wins, a loss and a tie. The Blues would go on to lose the next four games, including a home loss and an away loss against Western as well as a 4-1 defeat versus Waterloo at Varsity Stadium. After the Waterloo game, The Varsity summarized the reasoning behind the Blues poor performance thus far: "[since] the average calibre of play throughout the league has continued to rise over the years, it was perhaps inevitable that any Blues team containing less talent than its predecessors would be hard put to maintain [the Blues] traditional high standing. For various reasons, this year's squad has [very few] players of superior ability".
The CAD also returned untold millions of dollars worth of national treasures to their country of origin. The post-war period was the first planned use of Civil Affairs by the modern United States Army, and the greatest use of CA assets to date.Harry L. Coles and Albert K. Weinberg, Civil Affairs: Soldiers Become Governors (1992) In 1942, General Dwight D. Eisenhower called attention to the adverse political effects that would result from a failure to meet civilian needs after public assurances had been given in the United States. Thirty thousand tons of civilian supplies were needed every month, but the Lend-Lease Administration was hard put to get them together in time to meet the convoys leaving for North Africa.
In the more powerful cartridges, the short barrel of a carbine has significant disadvantages in velocity, and the high residual pressure, and frequently still-burning powder and gases, when the bullet exits the barrel results in substantially greater muzzle blast. Flash suppressors are a common, partial solution to this problem, although even the best flash suppressors are hard put to deal with the excess flash from the still-burning powder leaving the short barrel (and they also add several inches to the length of the barrel, diminishing the purpose of having a short barrel in the first place). The shorter the barrel, the more difficult it is to hide the flash; the AKS-74U has a complex, effective muzzle-booster/flash suppressor, yet it still suffers from extreme muzzle flash.
He caught the leaders shortly before the finish line and collapsed after crossing the tape. This scene was filmed at Goldenacre stadium in Edinburgh, the playing fields of George Heriot's School in Edinburgh. Producer David Puttnam viewed footage from a 1924 film of Liddell and Abrahams while researching the film with scriptwriter Colin Welland and Liddell's unorthodox running style as portrayed in the film, with his head back and his mouth wide open, is also said to be accurate. At an athletics championship in Glasgow, a visitor watching the 440-yard final, in which Liddell was a long way behind the leaders at the start of the last lap (of a 220-yard track), remarked to a Glasgow native that Liddell would be hard put to win the race.
Betty, an attractive California girl, takes a coming-of-age sojourn, embarking from San Francisco on an Italian freighter bound for ports in El Salvador, Panama, Venezuela, Spain and Italy.

Betty develops an attraction for and engages in a mild flirtation with Mik Finsch, an older, mysterious man-of- the-world, but when she accepts an offer of drinks in his cabin, his amorous advances get way out of line and Betty find herself hard put to fend him off. Ted bursts into Finsch's cabin and the two start fighting; by the time the captain breaks them up, Ted has thrashed Finsch, who claims he was "just warming up".
The mytheme of the "outlandish" and "savage" Seven who threatened the city has traditionally seemed to be based on Bronze Age history in the generation before the Trojan War,"There is no reason to suppose that the tale was not based on historical fact" Cambridge Ancient History II (1978:168), noted by Burkert 1992:107n. when in the Iliad's Catalogue of Ships only the remnant Hypothebai ("Lower Town") subsists on the ruins of Thebes. Yet archaeologists have been hard put to locate seven gates in "seven-gated Thebes":Burkert 1993:107-08 briefly surveys the attempts, with bibliography. In 1891 Ulrich von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff declared that the seven gates existed only for symmetry with the seven assailants, whose very names vary: some have their own identity, like Amphiaraus the seer, "who had his sanctuary and his cult afterwards... Others appear as stock figures to fill out the list," Burkert remarks.
In a 15 July 1960 obituary in Jazz News, Wilmer quotes Memphis Slim: "I also wanted to get my own publishing company, but the record men don't want to hire a guy who's got his own publishing company," revealing the difficulty he faced as a black artist. Speaking of her friendship with the influential lyricist, music critic, interviewer and singer Kitty Grime, Wilmer demonstrates her love, respect and admiration, while also revealing the masculine bias in the world of music: "It was during this heady period that we met, at a time when the jazz scene was virtually an all-male preserve...her awareness and knowledgeability were something that most younger commentators would be hard put to emulate".Wilmer, Val, "Kitty Grime", Jazz Journal International, p. 18. In her writing, she continuously keeps jazz history at the forefront, and presents herself as a devout listener, admirer and lover of music.
In the "Individual Notes on Works and Authors" in the "Special Collaborations Issue" of Locus Solus, Kenneth Koch wrote, "Though Harris was wrong about who Ern Malley 'was' (if one can use that word here), I find it hard not to agree with his judgment of Malley's poetry."
