![]() Hom wrote an ebullient article about the restaurant for the New York Times in early 1993, bringing the small outfit to international attention. It was just fantastic in its simplicity and taste," says Ken Hom, an American chef and writer who was brought to the first Din Tai Fung restaurant by fellow chef and cookbook writer, Taiwan's Fu Pei-mei, in 1992. "I couldn't believe how great the food was. Many of their first customers were former soldiers who had fled to Taiwan and who lived near the restaurant in a government settlement built for military employees and their families. Like many mainland migrants who came to Taiwan in the 1940s and 1950s, Yang was already married - but with all exchanges cut off between China and Taiwan, he was unsure if he would ever see his first wife again or be able to confirm if she was even alive.įor nearly two decades, Yang and Lai fed mostly local Taipei customers their standout soup dumplings. They dated in secret for years before marrying. ![]() In Taipei, Yang met Lai, who would become his wife.

They were part of a massive exodus of up to 2 million Chinese refugees who fled the mainland for Taiwan during the end of the Chinese civil war.įew ever went back.

![]() If you're cooking and you say, "In a while, it'll start to boil" that means that there's probably a sizeable chunk of time (relative to the activity at hand, so if it's a 15-minute meal, that could be 6 minutes.) Or it could be years if you're talking about real estate or something. ** I never really say in a while, and I think that depends heavily on context. Translation: "No he did not start recently, he has been working there for some time now." "Nah he didn't just start, he's been working over there for a minute." Dude's been in there for a minute." I heard this in other parts of the USA as well, I guess it was spread by rap music. ** "A minute" (not in a minute) in urban slang, (used by all races as far as I can tell,) can mean a long time relatively, for example, "What's this mo***r f**** doin' in the bathroom. I'd say (from the shortest to the longest) in a second, in a minute, in a bit it feels longer than any of the above, and could mean days or weeks.) Later / in a while / in a bit / in a minute / in a second "in a while" / after lunch / later the same day ![]() When I use such time expressions, the exact meaning depends on the situation, and possibly the person I'm talking to. Whereas Novic uses some time to mean an unspecified period of time, in this example Hannah uses some time to suggest a long time.I'm not a native speaker of English. Probably not since that day Papa had left to save Isabelle.” The implication is that a large amount of time had lapsed since anyone had been inside the apartment. ![]() In the following example from The Nightingale, Kristin Hannah uses some time to imply quite a while: “It looked like no one had been in this apartment for some time. For example, in Girl at War, Sara Novic uses some time to describe a period of time of an unknown length: “‘I think we need some time apart.’ When I saw the words reflected on his face I wished I hadn’t said them.” Some is an adjective describing the noun time. The two-word expression some time means a period of time or quite a while. For example, you can say “ Sometimes he stays up late,” “He sometimes stays up late,” or “He stays up late sometimes.” The placement of other adverbs of frequency tends to be more restricted. Sometimes is somewhat special in that it can go at the front, in the middle, or at the end of a sentence. Some other adverbs of frequency are always, never, usually, and rarely. For instance, Kazuo Ishiguro uses sometimes in The Buried Giant: “She and Beatrice went on conferring in low voices, sometimes glancing towards the crowd, sometimes at Axl.” Sometimes is an adverb of frequency, which is an adverb describing how often something happens. Sometimes is a very common adverb that means occasionally or now and then. ![]() For instance, one could say “He’s her sometime employee,” which implies that he only works for her on occasion. Adverbs are words that describe verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs.įor example, in The Nightingale, Kristin Hannah uses sometime to refer to an indefinite time in the night: “As usual in the hot summer months, Sophie had kicked the coverlet to the floor sometime in the night.” Sometime can also be an adjective that means occasional, but this use of the word is rare. It functions as an adverb, and is also synonymous with someday, one day, or sooner or later. Sometime refers to an unspecified point in time. Sometime means a vague point in time, and usually refers to a long amount of time. While they appear very similar, sometime, sometimes, and some time have slightly different meanings. ![]() ![]() ![]() Office Leader Credentials and IR CertificatesĬredentials for IR office leaders vary by the institutions for which they work and the responsibilities they hold.

![]() Some players also prefer to use the stockpile from the beginning to avoid any sense of uncertainty throughout the game. It will give you a better perception of the moves you have available as well as if the game is winnable or not. Getting all the cards face-up on the tableau will significantly increase your chances of winning. ![]() ![]() To move the 6 to the 7 you would need to get rid of the 5 in between, but this could only go on top of the 6 that it is covering it.įocus on turning up the cards facing down To avoid losing time, start by analyzing the cards on the tableau to check if there is a sequence of cards that would make it impossible to win the game.įor example, if you see the 7 of spades directly covered by the 5 and the 6 of spades in this order, you know that the game is not winnable. Tips to win at Scorpion Solitaire Check if the game is winnable It will add the three cards to the first three columns on the left of the tableau. This means that the Kings will always have to fill an empty space unless they already start in that position at the beginning of the game. A complete sequence can only be moved to the foundations if the King is the first card on the top of the column. If the card being moved has others on top of it, they will follow to the new position.įor example, if you have a free 2 and an Ace in another column topped by a 6 and a 7, these last two will accompany the Ace when you move it to the 2.Įmpty spaces on the tableau can only be filled with Kings. ![]() However, a card can only be moved to top a free one (no other card on top of it) and that is one rank higher and from the same suit. It is possible to move any card face up on the tableau, regardless of its position within the column. To create the needed sequences on the tableau, the players have to shift the cards between the columns. The sequences must be built on the tableau in descending order (starting with the King and ending with the Ace), and by suit. Similar to Solitaire Spider, only complete sequences can be sent to the foundations, not single cards. The goal of the game is to build the 4 foundations by suit. In this online Scorpion Solitaire, the tableau will be set automatically at each new game. All the cards are facing up, except on the first three columns starting from the left which have the three cards furthest from the player face down. The remaining cards are set on the tableau to form 7 columns with 7 cards each. Out of these, three are removed and placed face down on the tableau to serve as the stockpile. Scorpion Solitaire uses a standard 52-card deck. It showcases the difficulty of Scorpion Solitaire and works as a motivator to improve one's strategies. This percentage does not represent the winnable games (games with at least one possible solution). The low odds give this game a special appeal. So much so, that on average, players only win approximately 5% of the games they play. Everything else is different and designed to make this card game much tougher. ![]() Interestingly enough, they only share two rules: you have to build a complete sequence on the tableau before sending it to the foundations and you can only create sequences in descending order. Scorpion Solitaire is a card game inspired by Spider Solitaire. ![]() ![]() (Prices are determined at the time of print or electronic filing.

Juliet then makes an infamous leap and begins to secure the area, then inspects the cake. Juliet then finds a stack of dynamite, disguised as a large birthday cake. Sensei states that the only way to end the apocalypse is to defeat the foe and kill all of the remaining zombies.Īfter agreeing to split up, Morikawa teleports into the Courtyard, while Juliet stays in the Cafeteria. Once they meet up, Morikawa believes thbroken cause for the zombie hordes, was the work of a malevolent foe, who had likely broken a hole between the dimensions of Earth and the Rotten World, who may intend to create a permanent gate between the two. As a horde suddenly appears behind them, Juliet responds by hesitantly revealing that she is a zombie hunter and plops Nick's head unto her belt, ready to fight.Īlong the way, Juliet tries to search for her Sensei in advice to resolute the zombie infestation. Confused, Nick questions Juliet as to why she knew how to resurrect him. Guilt-ridden, Juliet reasons that she decapitated and performed a magic ritual on him, so she could prevent him from ever becoming a zombie. Once conscious, Nick is shocked by Juliet, to find himself without his body. Juliet later retreats into the High School, with Nick's head to perform a magic ritual. Determined, Juliet saves him by removing his head from his body.

As a sudden horde begins to walk amongst the school, she realizes she is late and quickly rushes to the school on her bike, dropping her Lollipops and states a dramatically ironic statement. Preparing herself in the shower, she briefly mentions about a family secret, that she has been afraid to share with, especially with her recent boyfriend. Juliet then begins to talk about her social life, the specialty of each individual member of her family, and her recent love interest, Nick, who is waiting to offer her a gift, for her birthday at school.

Reserve/National Guard "drill" pay Īccording to Title 37 United States Code §206, the basic pay amount for a single drill is equal to 1/30 of the basic pay for active duty service members. In addition to across-the-board pay raises for all military personnel, mid-year, targeted pay raises (targeted at specific grades and longevity) have also been authorized over the past several years. The 2007 pay raise was equal to the ECI.Ī military pay raise larger than the permanent formula is not uncommon. However, Congress, in fiscal years 2004, 2005, 2006, 2008, and 2009 approved the pay raise as the ECI increase plus 0.5%. The fiscal year 2010 president's budget request for a 2.9% military pay raise was consistent with this formula. provides a permanent formula for an automatic annual military pay raise that indexes the raise to the annual increase in the Employment Cost Index (ECI). Basic pay is the same for all the services. There are a few components which most military members receive.Īlso known as "base pay", this is given to members of the active duty military on a monthly basis and is determined by their rank (or more appropriately their pay grade) and their length of time in military service. (End of month pay used to fall on the last day of the month, but in 1990 was moved one day to the first to save money in a fiscal year.) The payment on the 15th is known as "mid month pay", and the pay on the 1st is "end of month pay". The money is directly deposited into a member's personal banking account. The monthly pay statement is known as a " Leave and Earnings Statement" (LES), which is usually available near the end of each month. If the 1st or 15th of the month falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or federal holiday the member is paid the first business day before. Typically members are paid on the 1st and 15th day of each month. Since it was determined that allowances are not income, they cannot be taxed, divided, or garnished, while pay can be. The United States, the United States Court of Claims decided that military allowances are not "of a compensatory character" and "not income as well". Generally speaking, pay is income, while allowances are reimbursement. Typically, pay is money which is based upon remuneration for employment, while allowances are money necessary for the efficient performance of duty. There are two broad categories of military pay: "pay" and "allowances". Early pay grade promotions are quite frequent, but promotions past E-4 will be less frequent. Commissioned and warrant officers will be paid more than their enlisted counterparts. Pay will be largely based on rank, which goes from E-1 to E-9 for enlisted members, O-1 to O-10 for commissioned officers and W-1 to W-5 for warrant officers. The amount of pay varies according to the member's rank, time in the military, location duty assignment, and by some special skills the member may have.
