Your profession always charges high and never guarantees their work. No sellsword would stay alive if he demanded a sorcerer's terms.
The sellsword scrambled backward, checking each blow, stepping lithely over rock and root, his eyes never leaving his foe. He was quicker, Catelyn saw; the knight's silvered sword never came near to touching him, but his own ugly grey blade hacked a notch from Ser Vadis's shoulder plate.

Soccer is class warfare, a battle between the haves and the have-nots, and those with more money and resources always win. In soccer, The Empire is undefeated. And José Mourinho, the world's greatest sellsword, the man who has discovered nothing in soccer but how to win, is its face.

pos: noun

This book is about intersectionality and is particularly concerned with examining theorising intersectionalities and difference. In recent years, the concept of intersectionality has taken centre stage and has become a dominant model with which to engage in how differences such as ‘race’, gender, class, sexuality, age, disability and religion interweave and intersect upon individual lives in a modern ‘risk’ society[…].
Intersectionality is a way of understanding and analyzing the complexity in the world, in people, and in human experiences. The events and conditions of social and political life and the self can seldom be understood as shaped by one factor. They are generally shaped by many factors in diverse and mutually influencing ways. […] Intersectionality as an analytic tool gives people better access to the complexity of the world and of themselves.

For MSM preferring event-based PrEP dosing, the nurse should counsel that this is an off-label use of the medication.

TDF/FTC has also shown benefit when taken "on demand," or "event-based dosing,” operationalized as two pills on the day of potential exposure through sexual intercourse, and one pill daily up to 72 hours after the last potential exposure.
gloss: Pertaining to exposure (to toxic substances, radiation, etc.) that results from a (usually accidental) event, as opposed to chronic or regularly-occurring exposure.
pos: adj
examples: A chief advantage of the microdosimetric event-based approach is that one measures directly the energy deposition responsible for the carcinogenic effect and thus there is no need to know the kind of particle or the energy of the carcinogenic effect and thus there is no need to know the kind of particle or the energy of the particle that produced an energy deposition event.
Event-based intake values are converted to final intake values by multiplying the intake per event by the frequency of exposure events, over the timeframe being considered in an exposure assessment.
It would be almost impossible to estimate the exposure to a speccified substance on an event-based level, due to a lack of appropriate data and since the intakes and the concentration in the sources will show variation from event to event .
gloss: Pertaining to training that involves simulated situations as opposed to drill in specific skills.
pos: adj
examples: It should not become what is known as "event-based training."
The event-based approach to training (EBAT) is used to guide the design of scenario- or simulation-based training.
Moreover, there is another factor that differentiates stress exposure training from traditional training, and that is that stress exposure training is event-based.
