As animals get bigger, their muscles have to be bigger and bigger to support their own weight. But adding muscle adds weight, and eventually something has to give. |
It is a simple model, although realistic enough to capture the principles of locomotion. First, you have a stick figure model, with a bunch of segments joined by joints. Then you assign weights to those segments and compute the physics of the posture. When the foot is joined to the ground, you can compute the forces. |
It's important to be able to make contributions that allow local groups to do certain things. |
Our goal is to minimize the tremendous impact of these hurricanes on our customers. This proposal allows us to issue bonds that will reduce the overall price of electricity by extending the payment period. Even though that means it will take us longer to pay off the debt, we think this plan is more beneficial overall. |
There is no way you could fit enough muscle into its body for that kind of locomotion. You wouldn't have enough room left over for all the other body parts. |
There's always a cost to doing business in any community, and that is to pay taxes. |
We ask them when they apply if they use tobacco. If the answer is 'yes,' we don't hire them. |
We could have picked some place in a remote location, but that defeats the purpose of being in an area close to the middle of the county. |
We know this property has a history, but that history has nothing to do with us. It's going to be put to good use now and produce more tax revenue for the county. |
We needed to be on higher ground, and this is just a great location for us and for the community. |
We understand and are very sensitive to the fact that it affects commerce and business. |
