According to an investigation from the New York Times's David Kirkpatrick, the Saudis are dipping into their deep pockets to bankroll a militia of Sudanese fighters — many of them children — to fight on the front lines against Yemen's Houthi rebels, insulating the kingdom from casualties and the political blowback they could cause.

MacDonald points out, for example, that some of the insulating states in twisted bilayer graphene appear to be accompanied by magnetism that arises not from the quantum spin states of the electrons, as is typically the case, but entirely from their orbital angular momentum—a theorized but never-before-observed type of magnetism.

Some liberal-minded whites doubtless enjoy hearing black comics make jokes at white people's expense because they like to imagine, in a self-congratulatory way, that their laughter constitutes an act of penance and expiation: by chuckling, they may feel they are insulating themselves against charges of racism and demonstrating their own enlightenment.

"With the semiconductor industry facing a number of headwinds, a including a slowing Chinese economy, soft smartphone sales, softening auto demand, slowing hyperscale demand, a lingering government shutdown, and ongoing trade war certainty, Intel has remained in a strong position relative to peers, with its own supply shortages likely insulating it from headwinds," Twigg wrote.

" The report lists rat-a-tat examples of times that aides and advisers slow-walked or rebuffed Trump suggestions and orders, insulating him from obstruction: Former FBI Director Jim Comey "did not end the investigation of [national security adviser Michael] Flynn, which ultimately resulted in Flynn's prosecution and conviction for lying to the FBI.

One strategy is grid hardening: replacing old transmission towers and power poles with new, stronger, more fire-resistant ones; replacing worn-out parts; updating power lines with synchrophasors and other tech that can help grid operators detect and limit faults more quickly; insulating lines; and using remote and drone sensing to identify far-off problems quickly.

Applying additional pressure on the compacted battery cells could have triggered thermal runway: The plates inside the SDI battery were too close to each other near its rounded corners, making it vulnerable to a short circuit, according to the documents, and the battery also had defects in its insulating tape and the coating of its negative electrode.

Just as the WNBA is supported by the NBA, the NWSL has the financial support of a more established organization: it is currently backed by two federations, US Soccer and the Canadian Soccer Association (the Mexican Football Federation pulled out of the NWSL earlier this year), somewhat insulating it during the break for the Summer Games.

If you're going through a lot of plastic disposable bags with multiple colors of buttercream frosting, consider switching to silicone piping bags, as Ms. Jones-Mann has — you can wash them out with hot water and reuse them, and they offer the added benefit of insulating the buttercream a bit more from the melting heat of your hands.

When you take into consideration skin thickness, subcutaneous fat thickness and muscle mass, it becomes clear that although female muscles shiver the same as those in the male, their thicker insulating layer potentially means that the heat they generated takes longer to get through to the outer layers of the skin where the temperature-sensing free nerve endings are located.

Mr. Ratelle, 31, arrived in this country from Honduras at the age of 8, the product of a punishingly austere religious upbringing, he said, that allowed him little access to outsiders, to say nothing of the magazines, TV shows and other pop totems of the day, For him, the church, a Christian revivalist denomination called Branhamism, was an insulating fortress.

It doesn't stop there: the Core can also segment your Internet of Things devices to another layer of your network, essentially insulating them from your "serious" computing, at least reducing the risk that a compromised device could lead to a compromised PC. BitDefender has a similar counterpunch to hacking in the second version of its Box router, shipping later in 2017.

But the criteria is far more rigorous than eliminating "too hot" and "too cold": To support life, a celestial body must offer potential inhabitants protection from radiation, have a nice insulating atmosphere, a decent amount of gravity, be a certain distance from the star it orbits; even plate tectonics help make a planet habitable by maintaining an environment that's warm and water-rich.

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump has nominated a slew of prospective federal prosecutors to fill top US attorney seats across the nation, but personally met with one prior to her selection in June -- a move some former Justice Department and White House sources say sharply departs from past practice and more generally is at odds with the understood custom of insulating US attorneys from political influence.

Ryan is fortunate, in a way, that the events in Charlottesville, and Trump's response to them, occurred amid a lengthy congressional recess, with Republican elected officials scattered across the country rather than gathered in Washington, D.C. That is the one thing insulating Ryan and his party from answering for their apparent determination to see Trump clear of the political consequences of siding with neo-Nazis.

Mueller has come under scrutiny from Trump and others for what they perceive as the special counsel's examination of matters beyond the scope of possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia during the 2016 election cycle, and Mueller's referral of cases that aren't closely linked to that central matter could be a way of insulating the special counsel probe from such backlash, people familiar with the situation said.

As you surely recall, the Justice Department and the CFPB said in their joint brief encouraging the Supreme Court to take up the issue of the CFPB's constitutionality that there's an easy fix for the law's defect: The justices need only sever the provision insulating the CFPB director from accountability to the president and strike the language mandating that the director can only be removed for good cause.
