It also appears in the Tennessee Williams play A Streetcar Named Desire when Blanche DuBois asks it of Mitch. Seemingly awkward because of its use of the formal pronoun, it means, “Do you want to sleep with me (tonight)?” For ten points, give this phrase re-introduced to a new generation by Mya, Lil’ Kim, Pink, and Christina Aguilera in their 2001 version of “Lady Marmalade”. Answer: Voulez-vous coucher avec moi (ce soir)? 2. In Need for Speed: Most Wanted it’s called “Speed Breaker”, and is most often used to dodge roadblocks. In GUN, it’s called “Quick Draw.” The earliest example of it is probably in the 1980 Epyx game Rescue at Rigel. In Star Wars: Jedi Academy, you can get it using “Force Speed,” by killing Reborn Jedis, or typing the cheat code “there is no spoon.” For ten points, give the common name for the ability in video games to move at normal speed while the rest of the game is slowed down, most famously used in the Max Payne and, predictably, Matrix videogames. Answer: bullet time (Prompt on “slow motion” or equivalents. Note for itinerant cheaters: the cheat code is really “thereisnospoon”) 3.

  • Economic Regulation of Airports Using the ATRS Database for the Following Indicators
    B Performance of Australia’s airports — sensitivity analysis The Commission compared the monitored airports — Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth — against a selection of overseas airports, for different indicators of airport performance (chapter 5). The Commission based some of its analysis on data from the Air Transport Research Society (ATRS) Airport Benchmarking Report (ATRS 2018). That report contains information for more than 200 airports in 2016. The Commission presented results for a sample of airports with more than 10 million passengers in chapter 5 of its draft report Economic Regulation of Airports using the ATRS database for the following indicators: whole of airport operating costs per passenger (figure 5.4) input utilisation rates per million passengers (figure 5.5) – runways – terminal area – gates aeronautical revenue per passenger (figure 5.11) Results for revenue and whole of airport operating costs per passenger were adjusted using both nominal United States Dollars (USD) and USD adjusted for purchasing power parity (PPP) (box 5.3). The sensitivity of results was checked by using other samples of airports (box 5.2) and are presented below. Results are annotated with three-letter International Air Transport Association codes to allow readers to identify the airports in each sample (codes and corresponding airports are listed in table B.1). The qualitative conclusions in chapter 5 are generally robust to variations in the sample of airports chosen, with some exceptions noted in chapter 5. PERFORMANCE OF AUSTRALIA'S

Statistical analysis has been used to present the main routes of movement of people and showing the trends of changes. It was observed that in order to obtain more accurate analysis, different trends per month have to be taken into account, because of the popularity of the num- ber of passengers which will affect the character of the place: tourist, business or busi- ness-tourism. KEYWords statistical analysis, passenger traffic, Frederic Chopin Airport in Poland, main routes of movement Introduction On April 29, 1934, Polish president Ignacy Mościcki opened the Polish Central Airport at Okęcie located at that time close to Warsaw and took over all air traffic from the former civilian aerodrome at Pole Mokotowskie. In the first year of operating, the port handled just over 10 thousand passengers. Currently, this number is three times higher, and on a daily basis! Nowadays, the Chopin Airport offers 108 destinations on three continents (Rocznica..., 2016). (Rocznica Lotniska Chopina – Aktualności i wydarzenia – Lotnisko Chopina w Warszawie, 2016). Among the directions that handled the largest number of passengers, there are: London, Paris and Frankfurt.

Brown Class of ’55, in her home in New York City on East 12th Street. The date is July 6, 1988. Well, why don’t we start off by asking you when you -- why you decided to attend Brown? Sylvia Rosen Baumgarten: Well, as I think we were discussing before, my generation of women was relatively mindless; we did what we were told. And [00:01:00] my father being a strong father announced to me in I believe about March of my senior year in high school, “You will apply to,” and then he listed Radcliffe and Wellesley and Smith and Bryn Mawr -- 14 schools in all he listed that I was to apply to, and I said, “OK, Daddy,” and did so.

  • Tel Aviv Exercising Modernity the Organizer
    Tel Aviv exercising modernity The Organizer Communities & the commons The Pilecki Institute in Warsaw is a research and cultural institution whose main aim Tel Aviv, Israel is to develop international cooperation and to broaden the fields of research and study 24—29.10.2019 on the experiences of the 20th century and on the significance of the European values – democracy and freedom. The Institute pursues reflection on the social, historical and cultural transformations in 20th century Europe with a particular focus on the processes which took place in our region. The patron of the Institute, Witold Pilecki, was a witness to the wartime fate of Poles and himself a victim of the German and Soviet totalitarian regimes. From today’s perspective, Pilecki’s story can prompt us to rethink the Polish experience of modernity in its double aspect: both as the one that brought destruction on Europe and that which continues to serve as an inspiration for promoting freedom and democracy throughout the continent. Under the “Exercising modernity” project, the Pilecki Institute invites scholars and artists to reflect upon modern Europe by studying the beginning and sources of modernity in Poland, Germany and Israel, and by examining the bright and dark sides of the 20th century modernization practices.
