Theresa May has identified the nerve agent used in the attack on Sergei and Yulia Skripal in Salisbury as a novichok.
The poisoning also turned Novichok into something of a Russian calling card.
In an earlier interview with the Guardian, a Kremlin insider said that “in half a year or a year, novichok will catch up with Prigozhin,” a reference to the 2020 poisoning of opposition leader Alexei Navalny.
A hospital consultant who treated Sergei and Yulia Skripal after they were poisoned with the nerve agent novichok was “gobsmacked” when Yulia woke and began trying to get out of bed four days after the attack.

pos: noun

Senses:
gloss: A question that is introduced by a wh-word (what, where, why, etc.) and cannot be answered by yes or no.
pos: noun
examples: In general each kind of Wh question calls for an answer which is an instance of a particular major sentence constituent.
To answer a wh-question, a person usually examines the items described by the <+WH> noun phrase and tests the truth of the sentence for each item.
On the semantic level we understand as obligatory those modifications about which the speaker has an important information so that he must be able to answer a wh-question formed by the listener in the case that there is an ellipsis of the given member of the sentence on the syntactic level. The necessity to be able to answer a wh-question is thus a criterion distinguishing obligatory and optional modifications.
Note that one cannot describe such basic processes as yes–no question and WH-question formation, negation, or the use of emphatic particles in Sinhala without involving focusing, [...]
In the preceding chapters, I have tentatively adopted an analysis for yes-no and WH-questions (aside from multiple WH-questions, as in (1b′), which have not been taken up yet) on the following lines: [...] [T]he S of that structure has the same form as the deep structure of a corresponding declarative sentence, except that the structure underlying a WH-question such as (1b) has a WH-expression in place of one of the constituents that could occur in a corresponding declarative; [...]
The language focus of our lesson were the wh-questions. To form them, a wh-question word needs to move to the clause-initial position: What will you buy? This is also the case in German: Was wirst du kaufen?
One of the aspects particular to friend talk in Japanese is that the speech is in informal style, and while as in any other interactions there are style shifts, these are very limited and strategically accomplished. In informal style questions the ka question particle is omitted and interrogativity is mainly accomplished through intonation and Wh-question words.

examples: Schur bases his definitions of equality, of addition and multiplication of projective segments, upon the correspondence known as ' prospectivity,' and, at first, avails himself only of the axioms of connection and of order [Shur's postulates 1. to 8.];
If a point O on I is related to A by a prospectivity, then all prospectivities, which (1) have the same double point U, and (2) relate O to A, give the same correspondent (Q, in figure) to any point P on the line I; in fact they are all the same prospectivity, however m, n, S, and S' may have been varied subject to these conditions.
Alternatively, Friedrich Schur (1881, p. 253) used Thomae's (1873, p. 11) definition of projectivity in terms of prospectivity to prove the fundamental theorem in a manner which is independent of the Archimedean axiom.

As the realities of international politics increasingly are generated, mediated, simulated by new digital means of reproduction, as the globalization of new media further confuses actual and virtual forms; as there is not so much a distancing from some original, power-emitting, truth-bearing source as there is an implosion; as meaning is set adrift and then disappears into media black-holes of insignificance, a little po-mo can go a long way.

In the cab back downtown,the one thing I head-gamed myself about was Jessica's sexual history.
It was one reason he'd even been able to stick out his nine residential months here with twenty-one other newly detoxed housebreakers, hoods, whores, fired execs, Avon ladies, subway musicians, beer-bloated construction workers, vagrants, indignant car salesmen, bulimic trauma-mamas, bunko artists, mincing pillow-biters, North End hard guys, pimply kids with electric noserings, denialridden housewives and etc., all jonesing and head-gaming and mokus and grieving and basically whacked out and producing nonstopping output 24-7-365.
Like UnREAL's Rachel, Pope's career success depends on her facility with lying, cheating, and head-gaming others—can that ever be truly progressive?

He soon became expert enough to spot an actinomyces colony at a glance. For Albert Schatz, the quest for the wonder microbe in this chaos of nature owed more to intuition than any systematic scientific search. "If you ask me why I picked one colony of actinomyces over another, I cannot tell you. There was no rationale for picking one colony of an actinomyces over another. Naturally if a plate had five colonies which morphologically and grossly looked alike, I would not pick all five."
An sspAB double mutant was generated and the resulting effects were additive; however, it retained a single previously unrecognized lactose-inhibitable coaggregation with an actinomyces coaggregation group D representative (Figure 3.3, cognate symbol complementary to gray rectangle).
Waksman wrote in his autobiography:
" … It is the first attempt that has ever been made to grow an actinomyces on a large scale, to attempt to utilize an actinomyces for any practical purpose, or even to find any use whatsoever for this obscure group of micro-organisms."
Unfortunately, the initial excitement did not last long: actinomycin certainly killed the pathogens, but it killed laboratory animals too. Woodruff pressed on …

For heavy fences that are seriously out of alignment, it really helps to use a come-along — so long as you've got something solid to hitch it to and enough cable to pull with.

But mostly I saw herds of white-spotted deer called chital, gentle Bambis whose sweet vulnerability makes them key players in the forest drama.
Gore’s dad took him deer-hunting, says aide Jano Cabrero, but didn’t know if the veep ever bagged a Bambi.
Instead of lounging on a sandy beach, Björk and Barney split their time between Iceland and New York, where Barney has an apartment downtown and Björk owns a house upstate “in the forest, with the Bambis.”
Parents today, apparently, don’t want their kids out in the wilds, where they might walk in the paths of potentially tick-bearing Bambis.
In nature, predators limit deer populations, but the top predator in these parts won’t put up with wolves or other deer-killers — and urban liberal sensibilities quail at just shooting the Bambis.
“I saw seven deer last night and a couple of baby Bambis,” he said about his route home.
