Asterisk

At the same time, elite members of society had the great benefits of blat and nomenklatura -- all of this in a supposedly “communist” state. The asterisk continues to grow even longer. It was clear that the phenomenon of blat became an ever so important aspect of Soviet life. In a country where many lived in harsh conditions, blat could be life changing. How then, exactly, did one become fortunate

“Nice touch,” William said to the empty office. William pressed the mute button on the television remote and logged-in to the Movement’s secure internet browser. He placed his thumb on the biometric scanner, and leaned forward, allowing the built-in camera to run a facial recognition and retinal scan. The face of a pretty, blond woman in her early twenties appeared on William’s monitor. “Good afternoon, Mr. Blake. I’m Amanda, concierge 4015. How do you fare?” “Hale and hearty, hearty and hale,” William

Abstract In this research we are examining the relationship between male and female attitudes towards female mangers, gender identity and their career aspiration. In order to do this research, we had to collect data from 89 females and 87 male’s students of organisational learning and development, also we had to compare what factors are strongly impacting on the attitudes towards female managers. This research will analyse the correlation between the male and female scores for acceptance, ability

the reader or a narratee like Sir or Madam, and the resulting consequences for the respective addressee in terms of how they are dealt with. In order to achieve this, the analysis will be confined to only three visual elements, namely asterisks, dashes, and gaps because they are the most common ones. Although literary researchers have already examined these particular visual elements, they have not done so in terms of their recipients. For my analysis, it is important to distinguish between

recommend setting off equations with colons for the final sentences introducing the respective equations. As another style suggestion, I recommend not using asterisks to denote multiplication. In general, it is accepted that when presented with an equation like ω=2πf, that the angular rate is equal to the product of 2, π, and f. I feel the asterisks are quite a distraction in the equations. In the final two sentences of the discussion section, I recommend they be combined via a comma into one sentence

William recognized a few of the names on the list, but most were strangers. There were stars next to 50 names, and an asterisk next to 45 names; the Connecticut whip identified over 40% of the delegation as individuals who would not, or might not support the state constitutional amendments, particularly the state version of the Supremacy Amendment. William was disappointed

problems and in reality I have maintained a bit more balance than I let on but those times that I lost control I had to use a neat trick that was available as game-master, I cheated. Not for myself, I cheated to keep the players alive. This was the asterisk I listed

mobile messaging may be crude compared to the more civilised form of English, it still has some benefits. For example the asterisk symbol has been used as a way of correcting mistakes (Collister 2015). It is a way to ‘avoid a conversational detour.’ (Collister 2015). People can use the asterisk symbol instead of wasting precious time trying to fix their mistake. The asterisk symbol, adopted by the technologically minded (Collister 2015), is a great and quick way of fixing mistakes but still maintaining

Vascular hyperpermeability is a causative factor in several disease states including ALI (39). Although primarily produced in the liver, we observed that the murine pulmonary vasculature also expresses the extracellular serine protease, HABP2 (36). Therefore, we silenced HABP2 expression in the pulmonary vasculature and observed that it attenuated LPS- and VILI-induced pulmonary vascular leak (36). Since HABP2 is upregulated in ALI, this study examined the functional consequences of HABP2 overexpression

credibility, my connection to dating abuse, and a movement: marking your hand with an asterisk sign to increase awareness to dating abuse. I proceeded to share this website onto social media: Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat. The website began to receive numerous views. Even people from my own school took the time messaged me, and shared their own stories with me to seek for advice. I witnessed asterisks upon palms and wrists of my classmates. It was a very eye-opening experience to many
