From the time of its founding, the economy of Ellis County has been based on farming and ranching. The most important crops have been wheat, cotton and broomcorn. In 1907, the town of Shattuck shipped more broomcorn than any other shipping point in the nation. Cattle raising had become important right after the Civil War. A major player locally was the Dominion Cattle Company, part of the Cherokee Strip Livestock Association.

Although still abundant in pristine sites, grey reef sharks are susceptible to localized depletion due to their slow reproductive rate, specific habitat requirements, and tendency to stay within a certain area. The IUCN has assessed the grey reef shark as endangered; this shark is taken by multispecies fisheries in many parts of its range and used for various products such as shark fin soup and fishmeal. Another threat is the continuing degradation of coral reefs from human development. There is evidence of substantial declines in some populations. Anderson et al. (1998) reported, in the Chagos Archipelago, grey reef shark numbers in 1996 had fallen to 14% of 1970s levels. Robbins et al. (2006) found grey reef shark populations in Great Barrier Reef fishing zones had declined by 97% compared to no-entry zones (boats are not allowed). In addition, no-take zones (boats are allowed but fishing is prohibited) had the same levels of depletion as fishing zones, illustrating the severe effect of poaching. Projections suggested the shark population would fall to 0.1% of pre-exploitation levels within 20 years without additional conservation measures.

He focused on the role of the fairies, who have a mysterious aura of evanescence and ambiguity. Also in 1975, David Bevington offered his own reading of the play. He in part refuted the ideas of Jan Kott concerning the sexuality of Oberon and the fairies. He pointed that Oberon may be bisexual and his desire for the changeling boy may be sexual in nature, as Kott suggested. But there is little textual evidence to support this, as the writer left ambiguous clues concerning the idea of love among the fairies. He concluded that therefore their love life is "unknowable and incomprehensible". According to Bevington, the main theme of the play is the conflict between sexual desire and rational restraint, an essential tension reflected throughout the play. It is the tension between the dark and benevolent sides of love, which are reconciled in the end.	wikipedia

However, the Mavericks had a subpar 2005 NBA Playoffs campaign. In the first round, Dallas met Houston Rockets scoring champion Tracy McGrady and center Yao Ming. The Rockets took a 2–0 series lead before the Mavericks won three games in a row.

In Game 6, which the Mavericks lost in overtime, Nowitzki was not at his best: he scored 28 points, but also sank only 9 of his 25 field goal attempts and missed all five of his shots in overtime.	wikipedia

Nowadays, boomerangs are made in a way that their whole flight path is almost planar with a constant climb during the first half of the trajectory and then a rather constant descent during the second half.	wikipedia

The performance of a hash table is dependent on the hash function's ability in generating quasi-random numbers () for entries in the hash table where , and denotes the key, number of buckets and the hash function such that . If the hash function generates same for distinct keys (), this results in collision, which should be dealt with in several ways. The constant time complexity () of the operation in a hash table is presupposed on the condition that the hash function doesn't generate colliding indices; thus, the performance of the hash table is directly proportional to the chosen hash function ability to disperse the indice. However, construction of such a hash function is practically unfeasible, that being so, implementations depend on case-specific collision resolution techniques in achieving higher performance.	wikipedia

PERRY During a presidential debate, couldn't even name the department he now heads in Trump's Cabinet of Horrors. So i cannot attribute any meaningful thought in the matter of the first gay president of the college in any way, shape or form. People must put a pen in his hand and show him where to sigh. I'm pretty certain, though that he does not require hand-over-hand assists to write his name. Ya never know. I hope that the students sue the University for the garbage about the glowsticks. Precisely how is it that materials that were free of cost to the campaign must be listed as an expense? At the very most, the students involved should have been asked to explain why the glow sticks were available free of charge. The idea that a "christian" white male could be persecuted for practicing his religion simply because his opponent is gay is preposterous. That position violates the first Amendment rights of the gay candidate because it presumes that Christianity is the state sponsored religion and that all who do not follow it are subject to sanction. That should make a great suit in federal court! But I'm still not convinced that Perry is capable of understanding anything about the whole situation.

The early period kanto were largely nourished by Istanbul culture. It was much the same in the Post-Republican period. The city's large and diverse population provided both the characters and the events that were the mainstay of kanto. Kanto was heavily influenced by musical theatre. Roman (gypsy) music and culture, which was itself the subject of satire, left its mark on kanto form. Another major influence was Rum music. The importance of the Istanbul Rum, who were so fond of entertainment and of singing and playing, must not be underestimated. It is a natural and inevitable result of cultural exchange. As it was, almost all the kanto singers were either Rum or Armenian, artists like Pepron, Karakas, Haim, Samran and Peruz who performed during the period following 1903.	wikipedia

But there is little textual evidence to support this, as the writer left ambiguous clues concerning the idea of love among the fairies. He concluded that therefore their love life is "unknowable and incomprehensible". According to Bevington, the main theme of the play is the conflict between sexual desire and rational restraint, an essential tension reflected throughout the play. It is the tension between the dark and benevolent sides of love, which are reconciled in the end.

However, the Mavericks had a subpar 2005 NBA Playoffs campaign. In the first round, Dallas met Houston Rockets scoring champion Tracy McGrady and center Yao Ming. The Rockets took a 2–0 series lead before the Mavericks won three games in a row. After losing Game 6, Dallas won Game 7 convincingly and won the series even though Nowitzki struggled with his shooting. In the Western Conference Semi-finals, the Mavericks met the Phoenix Suns, the new club of Nash. They split the first four games before the Suns won the last two games. In Game 6, which the Mavericks lost in overtime, Nowitzki was not at his best: he scored 28 points, but also sank only 9 of his 25 field goal attempts and missed all five of his shots in overtime.

Nowadays, boomerangs are made in a way that their whole flight path is almost planar with a constant climb during the first half of the trajectory and then a rather constant descent during the second half.

I agree absolutely. But the Democrats will not have anything credible to say to the bottom half, let's say, of the economic pyramid until they stop relying on fat cats to fund them. I used to give a few bucks once in a while to different Democratic organizations, but I stopped after seeing one too many Barbra Streisand multimillion dollar fundraisers. Those folks may be delightfully liberal socially, but are they really OK with the higher taxes it would take to make the middle and working classes more secure with health coverage, child care, well-funded public education in EVERY neighborhood, and affordable public colleges? Or do they donate with the tacit understanding that their incomes and wealth are not at risk?

The performance of a hash table is dependent on the hash function's ability in generating quasi-random numbers () for entries in the hash table where , and denotes the key, number of buckets and the hash function such that . If the hash function generates same for distinct keys (), this results in collision, which should be dealt with in several ways. The constant time complexity () of the operation in a hash table is presupposed on the condition that the hash function doesn't generate colliding indices; thus, the performance of the hash table is directly proportional to the chosen hash function ability to disperse the indice. However, construction of such a hash function is practically unfeasible, that being so, implementations depend on case-specific collision resolution techniques in achieving higher performance.

PERRY During a presidential debate, couldn't even name the department he now heads in Trump's Cabinet of Horrors. So i cannot attribute any meaningful thought in the matter of the first gay president of the college in any way, shape or form. People must put a pen in his hand and show him where to sigh. I'm pretty certain, though that he does not require hand-over-hand assists to write his name. Ya never know. I hope that the students sue the University for the garbage about the glowsticks. Precisely how is it that materials that were free of cost to the campaign must be listed as an expense? At the very most, the students involved should have been asked to explain why the glow sticks were available free of charge. The idea that a "christian" white male could be persecuted for practicing his religion simply because his opponent is gay is preposterous. That position violates the first Amendment rights of the gay candidate because it presumes that Christianity is the state sponsored religion and that all who do not follow it are subject to sanction. That should make a great suit in federal court! But I'm still not convinced that Perry is capable of understanding anything about the whole situation. He's the Chauncey Gardner of the Trumpenstein Monsters's Cabinet (the character in Peter Sellers' last movie, Being There, a novel by Jerzy Kozinski.

The early period kanto were largely nourished by Istanbul culture. It was much the same in the Post-Republican period. The city's large and diverse population provided both the characters and the events that were the mainstay of kanto. Kanto was heavily influenced by musical theatre. Roman (gypsy) music and culture, which was itself the subject of satire, left its mark on kanto form. Another major influence was Rum music. The importance of the Istanbul Rum, who were so fond of entertainment and of singing and playing, must not be underestimated. It is a natural and inevitable result of cultural exchange. As it was, almost all the kanto singers were either Rum or Armenian, artists like Pepron, Karakas, Haim, Samran and Peruz who performed during the period following 1903.
