Silver vine (also called matatabi) has long been known to elicit euphoric response in cats.[8] It is the most popular cat treat in Asia, thus sometimes cited in manga as matatabi.[9]

quote:

There are often times disagreements as to what constitutes the start and end of a first date. If a date begins with lunch but includes dinner it may be considered by some parts of the world to be two dates while in other cultures it maybe just one. In America, particularly in the Midwest, the east coast (up to and including Virginia) and Florida a first date is considered any meal that would be part of a normal day. In other words if a man were to fly from Sarasota, Florida to Saint Louis, Missouri to see a woman the first date would start upon meeting at the airport and continue through dinner that night. Regardless of sleeping arrangements the first date would necessarily conclude when the second started upon arrival at brunch the following day. Using this logic if the two ate a total of four meals together over 3 days they would have gone on 4 dates.[citation needed]

A herpolhode is the curve traced out by the endpoint of the angular velocity vector ω of a rigid rotor, a rotating rigid body. The endpoint of the angular velocity moves in a plane in absolute space, called the invariable plane, that is orthogonal to the angular momentum vector L. The fact that the herpolhode is a curve in the invariable plane appears as part of Poinsot's construction.

The trajectory of the angular velocity around the angular momentum in the invariable plane is a circle in the case of a symmetric top, but in the general case wiggles inside an annulus, while still being concave towards the angular momentum.

many early "stealth" radar detectors were equipped with a radar-detector-detector-detector circuit, which shuts down the main radar receiver when the detector-detector's signal is detected, thus preventing detection by such equipment.

Csikós Post (pronounced [ˈt͡ʃikoːʃ ˈpoʃt], chi-kosh posht) is a galop in the key of E minor by the German composer Hermann Necke (1850–1912). Csikós is a Hungarian mounted horse-herdsman; Hungarian Post is an acrobatic riding performance where the rider stands on the back of two horses and drives three more horses in front (pickaxe arrangement).

The melodic line in which the piece transitions to C major is a variation on a melody from Franz Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2.

The piece has been used repeatedly in video games including Yoshi's Cookie for Super NES (as Action Music B), Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games, Dance Dance Revolution Mario Mix (as Fishing Frenzy), Nintendogs + Cats (used as a music record which you could buy at the store), and Daigasso! Band Brothers (as Athletic Medley). It is also present in the music games O2Jam and pop'n music FEVER! and was also used as background music in the Family Computer game Downtown Nekketus Kōshinkyoku and in the opening sequence of its sequel Bikkuri Nekketsu Shin Kiroku! (released in North America as Crash 'n the Boys: Street Challenge).
The song has been remixed in Sexy Parodius (as Sonic Speed Bath) and by the group BanYa for the Pump It Up series. A version with parody lyrics was included in the 2001 Hong Kong animated movie My Life as McDull.[citation needed]

in which chinese folk medicine attempts to present itself as indistinguishable from any real medical article

To understand the causes of "Shang Huo", one must review the TCM from the principle of "yin" and "yang" that relate to the existence of duality in the Chinese life. "Yin" and "Yang" imbalances, such as more "yang" causes the body heat to be too high, due to a higher energy content (Cohen, n.d.). The conventional theory medicines theories do not recognize the idea that microorganisms are the cause of diseases but rather energy or heat imbalance between the internal and the external body environment (Cohen, n.d.). The consumption of "yang" (like spicy foods or coffee) causes their bodies to react through reality heat which is manifested through the ulcers in their mouths. Due to the continuous presence of "yang" and "yin" food throughout the season, "Shang Huo" is a reality within China. With the increased adoption of modern medicine, the people are forgetting about the role of nature in their lives, thus the reason for "Shang Huo",a lot can be learned from the TCM eating habits, consuming a balanced food fuels its immunity (TaiChigirl, 2014). TCM principles could be adopted to solve the long-term individual health matters since bad eating habits are the major causes of "Shang Huo" in China.

Box office[edit]
Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore earned $4,225,000 on opening day, and $12,279,363 on its opening weekend reaching #5 at the box office and having a $3,314 average from a very wide 3,705 theaters. In its second weekend, its drop was very similar to the first movie, retreating 44% to $6,902,116 to 7th place and lifting its total to $26,428,266 in 2 weeks. It held better in its third weekend, dropping 39% to $4,190,426 and remaining in the Top 10. The film closed on October 21, 2010 after 84 days of release, earning $43,585,753 domestically. Produced on an $85 million budget, the movie is considered a huge box office bomb, as it grossed less than half of the first Cats & Dogs, but it did manage to do better business than fellow summer talking animal competition Marmaduke. It earned an additional $69 million overseas for a worldwide total of $112.5 million. During its initial American theatre release, the film was preceded by the new 3D animated short film titled Coyote Falls with Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner.[3]
