Now the word has the same term used for completely different things, which causes a number of problems. politicized it by turning a term used by everyone that reflected a general dynamic region, into one that is rigid and inflexible and is a political boundary. in pretty much every case, it's used by the population to refer to the wider metropolitan area of their city, even if they don't understand what a metropolitan area really consists of. You will hear this whether in Ireland, New Zealand, Australia, the US and Canada, whether referring to Greater Sydney or Greater L.A. However, the general term by the layman in every English speaking country outside the UK is 'greater xxx', where xxx is the city in question. ![]() It's also worth pointing out that metropolitan areas are very different to urban areas. Every country uses a different method to define this metropolitan areas, but a general theme is connectivity and commuting. This is generally speaking scientifically defined and changes with the flow of population fluctuations, urban & commuter growth. Today, the academic term for this is the metropolitan area. It is vital for understanding the infrastructure requirements of the whole area, along with the business needs, labour force, etc. There has been an understanding a long time ago, that a city is far more than just the political boundary of its council. The term 'Greater' preceding any city name, was (and still is) a term used by every country for a very long period of time to simply define the wider area of the city in question -including the UK until the 1960s. ![]() ![]() Click to expand.Sorry about dragging this back after a couple of months.

Most customers forget that safes are precision equipment, not just expensive metal boxes. Sometimes a jarring, or dropping or a hard knock on a safe can jam the bolts. The bolt work of a safe can get jammed even for a quality safe. We recommend staying away from off brand batteries because studies show they lose power much faster than the branded types. Pop the battery or batteries out of the battery holder, check the terminals, and if you can't check the battery charge, just replace the battery with a brand-name battery pack like Duracell or Energizer. Sounds silly, but you will be surprised how many times this is the case. If you are lucky the simplest reason why your safe won't open is dead safe batteries.

I really thank him for being so honest because i used to use his book with genki and just focusing on genki really made my japanese studies go much smoother. I thought it was weird at first, but he is right, Genki teaches its own Kanjis and even though there's no fancy mnemnonics, there is context (the kanji are introduced progressively in each lesson in a very natural fashion, there are readings parts, specific exercices for the kanjis and so on.) and having context seems to be far superior to learning on a list with just a few random words there and there. ![]() I know, a lot of people recommend them, but it's actually Andrew Conning, aka the author of KLC (one of the best Kanji learning books) who said to me to not use any kanji specific book in the beginning and build a strong grammar/vocab base first.

From the later Middle Ages until the English Civil War, when a foreign expeditionary force was needed, such as the one that Henry V of England took to France and that fought at the Battle of Agincourt (1415), the army, a professional one, was raised for the duration of the expedition. It relied on militia organised by local officials or private forces mobilised by the nobility, or on hired mercenaries from Europe. Until the English Civil War, England never had a standing army with professional officers and careerist corporals and sergeants. Lord General Thomas Fairfax, the first commander of the New Model Army Since the end of the Cold War, the British Army has been deployed to a number of conflict zones, often as part of an expeditionary force, a coalition force or part of a United Nations peacekeeping operation. Britain's victories in most of these decisive wars allowed it to influence world events and establish itself as one of the world's leading military and economic powers. The British Army has seen action in major wars between the world's great powers, including the Seven Years' War, the American Revolutionary War, the Napoleonic Wars, the Crimean War and the First and Second World Wars. Various other civilian departments of the board were absorbed into the War Office. The British Army, composed primarily of cavalry and infantry, was originally one of two Regular Forces within the British military (those parts of the British Armed Forces tasked with land warfare, as opposed to the naval forces), with the other having been the Ordnance Military Corps (made up of the Royal Artillery, Royal Engineers, and the Royal Sappers and Miners) of the Board of Ordnance, which along with the originally civilian Commissariat Department, stores and supply departments, as well as barracks and other departments were absorbed into the British Army when the Board of Ordnance was abolished in 1855. ![]() ![]() The army is administered by the Ministry of Defence and commanded by the Chief of the General Staff. Therefore, Parliament approves the army by passing an Armed Forces Act at least once every five years. Members of the British Army swear allegiance to the monarch as their commander-in-chief, but the Bill of Rights of 1689 and Claim of Right Act 1689 require parliamentary consent for the Crown to maintain a peacetime standing army. The term British Army was adopted in 1707 after the Acts of Union between England and Scotland. The modern British Army traces back to 1707, with antecedents in the English Army and Scots Army that were created during the Restoration in 1660. As of 2022, the British Army comprises 80,976 regular full-time personnel, 3,949 Gurkhas, and 52,600 reserve personnel (29,401 in the volunteer Army Reserve and 23,199 former regulars in the Regular Reserve). The British Army is the principal land warfare force of the United Kingdom, a part of the British Armed Forces along with the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force. ![]() So!

Cars are outlined in neon like they sped out of Mario Kart. J-pop singers dance in French maid outfits. The first aerial shot of the city is of Tokyo Tower, an Eiffel Tower clone seemingly designed to disorient tourists. Nicolas-Troyan’s Tokyo is a fantasy land. Winstead’s naturalistic performance butts heads with the film’s exaggerated style. But just as Kate decides to shake up her life, a handsome stranger slips a radioactive toxin into her wine glass and she’s forced back into making silencers out of convenience store flashlights and stabbing people through their soft palate. Winstead makes you believe, however improbably, that if a woman like Kate actually existed outside a screenwriter’s imagination, she wouldn’t be far off from this portrayal: isolated, mule-headed and ready for a change. There’s life in her eyes and exhaustion in her gait. She wears hoodies and, only somewhat cloyingly, a smiley face shirt purchased from a vending machine when her gear gets covered in gore. Winstead, however, chooses to play Kate as a human being - not some femmebot executioner dressed in latex or pigtails. Often, a female actor in these grindhouse actioners adopts a stoic dreariness meant to pass for a gives-as-good-as-she-gets empowerment, as if anything so fanciful as a personality is a sign of weakness. The script by Umair Aleem is little more than a framework for the only two elements that matter: the fight choreography - quite good, courtesy of “John Wick’s” Jonathan Eusebio - and the wavelength of the star, which has come to mean everything. It’s a strong opening for a breed of action spectacle where audiences can map out the twists like they’ve been handed a Thomas Guide. But she pulls the trigger anyway and watches in slow-motion horror as the man’s blood spatters the girl’s face and coat, a carnation pink that recalls the moment Jackie O. She pulls up to an assignment in a dessert van - an unnecessarily cutesy touch - and finds she’s expected to snipe her target in front of his daughter, Ani. Kate is introduced on the most traumatic day of her job. There is only carnage - and to his credit, Nicolas-Troyan (“The Huntsman: Winter’s War”) keeps the hits coming. Other symptoms of this gimmick include blistered skin, pounding eardrums, wobbly knees and an urgency to take an entire gangster clan along with her to the grave. But Kate’s Terminator resemblance also includes her left eye’s red and distended pupil, evidence of the polonium poisoning that will kill her in 24 hours. Yes, she can rack up quite the Schwarzenegger-esque kill count. Kate, the titular antihero of director Cedric Nicolas-Troyan’s vicious vengeance flick, is a grown-up child assassin trained by her mentor (Woody Harrelson) in the art of death, a fate so common among on-screen orphans that their support group could fill a church basement. Watch the trailer here.“You’re a Terminator,” Tokyo teen Ani (Miku Patricia Martineau) gapes to Kate ( Mary Elizabeth Winstead) after witnessing the bloodshed her kidnapper has brought down on two dozen yakuza now lying shot, stabbed, sizzled on a yakitori grill and very, very dead.

I thought that the track would get some attention, but I just never imagined that it’d be anything like this," she told BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour of the song's success "It’s so exciting that it’s quite shocking really, isn’t it? The whole world has gone mad.” The reserved artist has reacted to the song's resurgence on her own website, and now she's speaking more on it in a rare interview. 4 on the Billboard 100 (her first time breaking top 5 in the US). Ever since Stranger Things 4 Volume 1 hit Netflix last month, Kate Bush has seen her 1985 single "Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)" soar to unimaginable heights, including the top of the UK charts and No. |
