As a novelist, he's jittery, mobile, always on the prowl for new material, not so much easily distracted as easily consumed, quickly recentered.

For example, you can ask for the view to be recentered or to open up a particular game or to search the app store.

He's recentered the band's urgency from its head-rush musical intensity to Mr. Johnson's voice, which is clearer and more melodically driven than before.

For the last seven years, Drake has recentered hip-hop around melody and feeling; turned his hometown, Toronto, into an aesthetic hotbed; and become one of pop music's most transformational, and doubted, figures.

In fact, The Crimes Of Grindelwald could have been fascinating if it had recentered away from Grindelwald and a genealogical mystery that doesn't pay off, and focused instead on the people the magical community chooses to reject.

Domestically, the average score on the Scholastic Aptitude Test dropped substantially over the second half of the 20th century, until the scores were "recentered" so that the 85033 average — 424 verbal and 478 math — was returned to the Greatest Generation's average of 500 for both.

Although Lily Mojekwu is powerful as Paula, and Solindrez's Devon owns the camera with what Soloway calls the character's "queer cowboy masculinity," Toby became my favorite character for the precision with which she continually and explicitly recentered the female gaze, refusing to be paternalized by Sylvere or by Devon.

Enterprise Europe Network "India joins the Network." The EU-funded project ended on 29 February 2016, and EBTC is now an independent, self-sustainable company. The physical presence has been recentered on Delhi and Bangalore, but activities continue on a pan-Indian level, with partners (local governments, municipalities, organisations, companies) in many states, from Uttar Pradesh to Tamil Nadu...

This policy was maintained in the belief that education of Bengalis in India had led to discontent and rebellion.Thomas Metcalf, "Empire Recentered: India in the Indian Ocean Arena," in Colonialism and the Modern World: Selected Studies, eds. Gregory Blue, Martin Bunton, and Ralph Crozier (Armonk NY: M.E. Sharpe, 2002), 31. They involved only the Malay ruling class in government and administrative issues.

After Galveston's hurricane, shipping traffic recentered over time to inland Houston. After the 1886 storm, the county seat was moved to Port Lavaca. On October 4, 1887, the post office in Indianola was permanently closed and the town declared "dead". Today, almost nothing remains of the original Indianola, as, due to storm erosion, most of the site of the city is now under water.

More recently, together with Sergio Firpo and Nicole Fortin, Lemieux has pioneered the use of recentered influence function (RIF) regressions, an extension of the Oaxaca- Blinder decomposition method which allows to study the impact of changes in the distribution of the explanatory variables on quantiles of the unconditional (marginal) distribution of an outcome variable.Firpo, S., Fortin, N.M., Lemieux, T. (2009). Unconditional quantile regressions. Econometrica, 77(3), pp. 953-973.

The rule of the Caliphs over Persia ended when the Abbasid Caliphate was overthrown in the Siege of Baghdad (1258) by the Mongol Empire under Hulagu Khan. The Abbasid line of rulers recentered themselves in the Mamluk capital of Cairo in 1261. Though lacking in political power, the dynasty continued to claim authority in religious matters until after the Ottoman conquest of Egypt (1517). Under the Mamluk dynasty in Cairo, large carpets known as "Mamluk carpets" were produced.

Because the new scale would not be directly comparable to the old scale, scores awarded on April 1995 and later were officially reported with an "R" (for example, "560R") to reflect the change in scale, a practice that was continued until 2001. Scores awarded before April 1995 may be compared to those on the recentered scale by using official College Board tables. For example, verbal and math scores of 500 received before 1995 correspond to scores of 580 and 520, respectively, on the 1995 scale.

Beginning with the test administered in April 1995, the SAT score scale was recentered to return the average math and verbal scores close to 500. Although only 25 students had received perfect scores of 1600 in all of 1994, 137 students taking the April test scored a 1600. The new scale used a reference group of about one million seniors in the class of 1990: the scale was designed so that the SAT scores of this cohort would have a mean of 500 and a standard deviation of 110.

In the new script, the book's main character, Flem Snopes, and the rest of the Snopes family were removed. The plot was recentered on a minor character, Ben Quick, and the reconciliation of the Varner family. On their first important screenplay, Ravetch and Frank implemented their signature style, using the names of characters and a few details of the plot but significantly modifying the details of the story. The final product was heavily influenced by Tennessee Williams' play Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, resulting in an "erotically charged" story.

Saddler was nominated for the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Choreography. In 1993, Mark Madama and Wayne Bryan (who had played the role of Bobby Randall in the 1974 production) revised the book and score for Music Theatre of Wichita. They retained some of the plot elements and score additions from the 1974 production, including the romance between the (female) astronomy professor and football coach, but they returned the story to the 1920s, added back more of the 1927 score, and recentered the book so its main focus was the college students.

Simultaneously the sisters learn of La Escapia, and El Feo and Tacho (who like them are twins), and their resistance efforts. Seese's plot point is also recentered, and we learn she was also from Tucson where she worked as a stripper for Tiny, who for the most of the novel was a tertiary character. Mosca and Calabazas' characters are further developed as well. Mosca's character develops an obsession for the Blue family and their businesses in Tucson, while Calabazas is shown to be compassionate, yet losing his edge.

Additionally, they investigated the correlation between SAT results, using the revised and recentered form of the test, and scores on the Raven's Advanced Progressive Matrices, a test of fluid intelligence (reasoning), this time using a non-random sample. They found that the correlation of SAT results with scores on the Raven's Advanced Progressive Matrices was .483, they estimated that this correlation would have been about 0.72 were it not for the restriction of ability range in the sample. They also noted that there appeared to be a ceiling effect on the Raven's scores which may have suppressed the correlation.

Terayon held an IPO on NASDAQ in August 1998. In 1999, the company initiated a strategy to expand its offerings to the telecommunication and satellite industries but later refocused its business on the cable industry in 2000. During 1999 and 2000 the company acquired seven other companies, including: Imedia, a video processing startup founded by Efi Arazi (founder of Scitex) for $100m; Radwiz for $64m from the Rad Group, Teledata Networks (which was later sold) and Ultracom Communications for $32m in March 2000. In 2004, Terayon recentered its strategy on digital video solutions, marketing to television broadcasters, telecom carriers and satellite television providers.

Nicole Fortin co-authored with Sergio Firpo and Thomas Lemieux to explain an extension of the Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition method that can be applied to various distributional measures. First of all, it requires the division of distributional changes into a wage structure effect and a composition effect using a reweighting method. Second of all, it requires the further division of the two components into the contribution of each explanatory variable using recentered influence function (RIF) regressions. They demonstrate the practical aspects of the procedure by exploring how factors, such as de- unionization, education, occupations, and industry changes, impacted the polarization of U.S. male wages from the late 1980s to the mid 2010s.
