* Standard diving dress - mostly used in professional diving.

During an interview in 1993, Folkvord said his most important commitment if he gained a seat in parliament was giving the National trade union centers more power so that they could better defend the working class.
When asked if it was exhausting to promote socialist reforms Folkvord said, "It is.
But I think in some ways easier than before many fake socialist regimes have collapsed".
Another opinion of his was that "capitalism destroys the natural environment around us making the bourgeois society planners understand that there must be something new in the future.
This provides inspiration to win support for socialist beliefs in Norway".
Folkvord's first contact with anti-capitalist beliefs came when he joined the Workers' Communist Party.
The party told him about "capitalist barbarism" and how the wealthy controlled everything.
Folkvord said he believed that " can't be the end of human development", and that he believes humans are destined to create another more-just system.
Folkvord has long supported the Kurdish independence movement, believing that Norway and other countries in Europe should stop treating the conflicts between Turkish military and the Kurds as an internal Turkish matter.
Being an anti-war activist he was highly vocal against Norwegian involvement in the War on Terror since the start of the American led invasion of Iraq.
In 2009 Folkvord visited Norwegian soldiers in Afghanistan but claimed that Red was the only Norwegian party not allowed to visit the Afghan city of Meymaneh, the city were the Norwegian troops are stationed.
He is also highly vocal against Norwegian membership in the European Union, claiming the organisation is spreading "German imperialism".
Question: What are variables chose in advance?
About the article "Thermodynamics", section "Dependent and independent variables for a process".

Candidate passages:
In log-linear analysis there is no clear distinction between what variables are the independent or dependent variables.
The variables are treated the same.
However, often the theoretical background of the variables will lead the variables to be interpreted as either the independent or dependent variables. 
A process is described by changes in values of state variables of systems or by quantities of exchange of matter and energy between systems and surroundings.
The change must be specified in terms of prescribed variables.
The choice of which variables are to be used is made in advance of consideration of the course of the process, and cannot be changed.
Certain of the variables chosen in advance are called the independent variables.
From changes in independent variables may be derived changes in other variables called dependent variables.
For example a process may occur at constant pressure with pressure prescribed as an independent variable, and temperature changed as another independent variable, and then changes in volume are considered as dependent.
Careful attention to this principle is necessary in thermodynamics.
In statistics, observable variables or manifest variables, as opposed to latent variables, are those variables that can be observed and directly measured. 
The C shell implements both shell and environment variables.
Environment variables, created using the setenv statement, are always simple strings, passed to any child processes, which retrieve these variables via the argument to codice_59.
Shell variables, created using the set or @ statements, are internal to C shell.
They are not passed to child processes.
Shell variables can be either simple strings or arrays of strings.
Some of the shell variables are predefined and used to control various internal C shell options, e.g., what should happen if a wildcard fails to match anything.
In current versions of csh, strings can be of arbitrary length, well into millions of characters. 
Findings from EDA are often orthogonal to the primary analysis task.
This is an example, described in more detail in.
The analysis task is to find the variables which best predict the tip that a dining party will give to the waiter.
The variables available are tip, total bill, gender, smoking status, time of day, day of the week and size of the party.
The analysis task requires that a regression model be fit with either tip or tip rate as the response variable.
The fitted model iswhich says that as the size of the dining party increase by one person tip will decrease by 1%.
Making plots of the data reveals other interesting features not described by this model.
What is learned from the graphics is different from what could be learned by the modeling.
You can say that these pictures help the data tell us a story, that we have discovered some features of tipping that perhaps we didn't anticipate in advance.
