One such notable time was when they believed they first met Mutsumi (they are actually all friends from childhood) on Naru and Keitaro's trip to Kyoto. She has a very sweet and generous personality.

Hitler ordered substantial reinforcements to North Africa, namely Tunisia to prevent an Axis collapse in the theatre.

Lafrance did not run in the 1970 election, and was replaced by Yvon Brochu.

The jungin, also chungin, were the upper middle class of the Joseon Dynasty in medieval and early modern Korean society. The name "jungin" directly means "middle people". This privileged class of commoners consisted of a small group of petty bureaucrats and other highly educated skilled workers whose technical and administrative skills enabled the yangban and the royal family to rule the lower classes. Jungin were the lifeblood of the Korean Confucian agrarian bureaucracy, for whom the upper classes depended on to maintain their vice- like hold on the people.

She worked exclusively with the publisher Peter Davies. Two themes were consistently cited by reviewers: her originality (Jack Denton Scott: "She is something quite on her own") and her strong narrative drive (Siriol Hugh Jones on Burden of the Seed: "It is impossible to stop reading Kathleen Sully, who takes a vice-like Ancient Mariner's grip on your nerves and feelings...."). Her subjects ranged from old age, ghosts, infidelity, mid-life crisis, and small- town mores. Her most striking book, Skrine, is a dystopian novel set in a depopulated England following some unspecified global catastrophe.

Many poems display a deep concern for humanity, which in his view stubbornly refuses to look ahead, and short- sightedly indulges in all manner of vice, like eating animal flesh, piling up sins 'high as Mount Sumeru'. But he holds out hope that people may yet be saved; 'Just the other day/ a demon became a Bodhisattva.' Red Pine poem 18: :I spur my horse past ruins; :ruins move a traveler's heart. :The old parapets high and low :the ancient graves great and small, :the shuddering shadow of a tumbleweed, :the steady sound of giant trees.

Two of its attacks involve jumping backward to impale its opponents on its spiked carapace in Godzilla vs. Gigan and its vice-like bite; the most famous example of the latter being when it faced King Ghidorah in Destroy All Monsters and latched onto one of King Ghidorah's necks, its grip holding firm even after the space monster took flight. Anguirus also has the ability to heal and regenerate in a few minutes, as executives said it recovered almost immediately after Mechagodzilla broke its jaw. Anguirus has incredible durability, surviving being stomped on, being kicked with immense robotic force, being dropped from high altitudes, and surviving Godzilla's atomic breath.

A. dactyloides has the ability to form rings of hypha that can constrict sharply and catch a nematode in the loop. Each ring is a short branch of the hypha containing three cells, separated by three "T-shaped" areas of cell wall. When stimulated by the movement of a nematode inside the loop (or by heat, or by the tip of a researcher's needle), the three cells inflate suddenly, rather like balloons, and the nematode is trapped in a vice-like grip, its body constricted into two parts. Now branches of hypha invade the nematode on either side of the loop and digest and absorb the soft tissues.

He was awarded the Polar Medal for his work.

When, in 1998, Martin complained to Harvey about the vice-like grip one of the Camden promoters had on the band, he suggested that they put on their own event at Dingwalls in Camden. It was here that they managed to sell the first fifty copies of the Safety EP, which Phil himself had helped fund along with his father (Christopher Harvey) and his Oxford roommate. It is generally considered that this was when he could first be described as the band's manager. Harvey eventually dropped out of his Oxford University studies to manage the band; he carried out the role more or less single-handedly until early 2001 when the stress of performing a role usually requiring a team of people forced him to take a prolonged break.

A short sequence at the start, setting the scene with a modified retelling of Snow White, uses more conventional-looking drawn animation. The puppets in the home sequences are made from household objects: the young Karen Watson is made from feathers with a doll's house vase as a head, her mother is made from miniature kitchen utensils with a model bunch of grapes as a head, while the father is made from scrap metal and has a vice-like beak. In addition, Karen Watson is often shown with a piece of tape covering her mouth, while her mother sometimes has tape over her eyes. The pub scenes - the only parts of the film in which the characters talk, as the home scenes are narrated by the adult Karen Watson - involve a group of men discussing sexually abusive fathers, and are used to underline popular conceptions and misconceptions of the issue ("All these lasses gotta do is say no", ventures one man).
