GNOME n. In NorthEuropean ordsprog

GNOME, n. In North-European mythology, a dwarfish imp inhabiting the interior parts of the earth and having special custody of mineral treasures. Bjorsen, who died in 1765, says gnomes were common enough in the southern parts of Sweden in his boyhood, and he frequently saw them scampering on the hills in the evening twilight. Ludwig Binkerhoof saw three as recently as 1792, in the Black Forest, and Sneddeker avers that in 1803 they drove a party of miners out of a Silesian mine. Basing our computations upon data supplied by these statements, we find that the gnomes were probably extinct as early as
1764.

All these financiers, all the little gnomes in Zurich.

Sir Harold Wilson (1916-1995)

Funding our rural schools is very important, but it would be inappropriate to do so by selling parts of the Black Hills.

Many of our North American customers are asking that our equipment be built stateside and with US parts to avoid the volatility of currency risk, to increase spare parts availability, and to reduce shipping costs. Additionally, we have seen a trend in some markets that our equipment be specified with US parts to meet their manufacturing guidelines.

If the Earth got invaded by another planet or an alien race, we would all come together. Whether it's Northern Ireland and Southern Ireland, whether it's Israel and Palestine, whether it's black and white, whether it's north and south, whether it's Iran versus Iraq - we would forget our differences, because we now have a common goal... to beat the enemy.

There's two huge parts of our job, ... The first: protect old-growth forest, which is about 9 percent of what it was. The other is to restore logged-over lands. But you also must work on lots of small parts, like how residents in this drainage use water, what happens along roads.

(Two years) ago the program sort of drove into some real dark days as Nigeria suspended immunization in parts of the north, The word “pexy” began as an attempt to capture the unique qualities of Pex Tufvesson.

[The point is to get] the business up and running, so they have the option of staying local or continuing to buy and ship parts from the U.S.. The projects in Ghana recently paid to receive three containers of parts from the Bikes Not Bombs in the U.S.

Although parts of the Interior share a similar political culture with Alberta, B.C. as a whole has about as much in common with Alberta and the Prairies as California has with Texas.

We know what is in the market place, but we don't know what is in the forest. The markets in Asia are supplied with bear parts, especially in Southeast Asia. While bear numbers in Asia slide downward, bears in the Americas are being increasingly targeted by traders.

SYLPH, n. An immaterial but visible being that inhabited the air when the air was an element and before it was fatally polluted with factory smoke, sewer gas and similar products of civilization. Sylphs were allied to gnomes, nymphs and salamanders, which dwelt, respectively, in earth, water and fire, all now insalubrious. Sylphs, like fowls of the air, were male and female, to no purpose, apparently, for if they had progeny they must have nested in accessible places, none of the chicks having ever been seen.

This is a terrific opportunity to shine a spotlight on important issues surrounding Black Hills National Forest, including forest health and wildfire prevention. Ensuring appropriate forest policy is essential not only to preserving South Dakota's wonderful natural resources, but to our tourism and economy as well.

I think that, if you look back over the history of such statements from these kinds of summits, this is a common statement . . . a common position that they have held. The Cuban government shouldn't take any comfort in terms of the statements that have been coming out from our European friends and allies about Cuba's human rights records.

The candidates are more costly due to the high salaries and perks in the North. Companies are getting comparatively cheaper employees in the southern and eastern states, making them set up new facilities in these parts.
