But the family took almost seven years to agree to do it, and is far larger and less wieldy now.

"The Children Act" makes for a more wieldy movie than this year's earlier "On Chesil Beach," which Mr. McEwan also adapted from his own book, in that case relying on retaining rhythms and chronological jumps better suited to the page.

Between 10 and 18 July, Belgian forces intervened 28 times in Congolese localities. With the exception of the Luluabourg authorisation, the Belgian troops never acted with the permission of the government. Order was ultimately restored largely through the use of the gendarmerie, a more wieldy and reliable institution than the army.

Another type of crutch is the walker, a frame held in front of the user and which the user leans on during movement. Walkers are more stable due to their increased area of ground contact, but are larger and less wieldy and, like canes, pass the full load through the user's wrists in most cases.

Bhikkhu Brahmali, What the Nikāyas Say and Do not Say about Nibbāna, Buddhist Studies Review. He cites a common passage which notes that the mind with the five hindrances is not considered radiant and thus it makes sense to say that a mind in jhana, which does not have the five hindrances, can be said to be radiant: > So too, bhikkhus, there are these five corruptions of the mind (cittassa), > corrupted by which the mind is neither malleable nor wieldy nor radiant > (pabhassaraṃ) but brittle and not rightly concentrated for the destruction > of the taints. What five? Sensual desire ... ill will ... sloth and torpor > ... restlessness and remorse ... doubt is a corruption of the mind, > corrupted by which the mind is neither malleable nor wieldy nor radiant but > brittle and not rightly concentrated for the destruction of the taints.

The Force Publique mutinies increased the unpopularity of the army and cost the government a significant amount of support in rural areas. The insecurity they caused also impeded economic production and the distribution of goods and distracted the leadership from addressing other problems facing the administration. Order was ultimately restored largely through the use of the gendarmerie, a more wieldy and reliable institution than the army.

In 1650 musketeer tactics were in the middle of a transition from firing one rank at a time so as to maintain a steady fire, to the entire unit discharging a volley simultaneously for shock effect. Pikemen were equipped with pikes: long wooden shafts tipped with steel points. Pikes as issued in both armies were , but on the march they were commonly cut down to a more wieldy or so. The pikemen carried basic swords and typically wore a steel helmet but no other armour.

This new cooking technology had the advantage of being easily adjustable and could be turned off when not in use. The gas stove, however, did not become a commercial success until the 1880s, by which time supplies of piped gas were available in cities and large towns in Britain. The stoves became widespread on the European Continent and in the United States in the early 20th century. Gas stoves became more wieldy when the oven was integrated into the base and the size was reduced to better fit in with the rest of the kitchen furniture.

Some of his beliefs were consistent: he held racist views from the early days: He was noted for his "extreme monarchist views" throughout his life, and became antagonistic towards democracy. His 1933 book Kings in Waiting--in which he wrote "Democracy, liberty, and prosperity had been the mirages that had attracted the nations to their shambles"--was noted for its passionate pro-Monarchist and anti-Democratic stance.

A law instituted in 1604 required all farmers to own weaponry to serve in the militia. The Norwegian peasant militia battle axe, much more wieldy than the pike or halberd and yet effective against mounted enemies, was a popular choice. Many such weapons were ornately decorated, and yet their functionality shows in the way that the axe head was mounted tilting upwards slightly, with a significant forward curve in the shaft, with the intent of making them more effective against armoured opponents by concentrating force onto a narrower spot.Norwegian military small-arms & blades » The Norwegian Battle axe During Napoleonic times, and later on in the 19th century, farriers in army service carried long and heavy axes as part of their kit.
