The data point in question is the saving rate, which recently sank to a 12-year low.

And we're not talking about who will ultimately sit on the Iron Throne, though that outcome may have a lot to do with the plot point in question.

This was the central point in question with these cases, the others being offshoots of this main theme.

The following list, containing the latter combinations, is given, as sufficient to prove the point in question, to every mind that is free from the tyranny of the prevailing cacoepy of Latin.

Weld lost his ministerial position when the Stafford administration was defeated. In 1864, the government of Frederick Whitaker resigned due to disputes with the Governor. The point in question was who should bear responsibility for funding British troops stationed in New Zealand. Weld, believing that it was British ineptitude that caused conflict with the Māori in the first place, strongly objected to Grey's demands that Parliament should fund the troops.

Thomas Aquinas, S. th. II/II 18 IV hope for eternal salvation, which does not rest chiefly on a grace already received, but rather on prospective future forgiveness by God's omnipotence and mercy. The point in question is that however certain, the hope must retain its proper name and not be confused with faith. If together with a determination for sin, this hope is in danger of giving way to presumption.

Lausanne, 1943; Pierre Cauvin, "La Notion de Décadence chez Oswald Spengler et Georges Sorel", Institut de Sociologie de Strasbourg, 1970; David Meakin, "Decadence and the Devaluation of Work: The Revolt of Sorel, Péguy and the German Expressionists," European History Quarterly, Vol. I, No. 1, 1971; Paul Mazgaj, "The Young Sorelians and Decadence", Journal of Contemporary History, Vol. XVII, 1982. yet whether this revival must occur by means of the middle and upper classes or of the proletariat is a point in question.

The definition of a point of closure is closely related to the definition of a limit point. The difference between the two definitions is subtle but important -- namely, in the definition of limit point, every neighbourhood of the point in question must contain a point of the set other than itself. The set of all limit points of a set is called the derived set of . Thus, every limit point is a point of closure, but not every point of closure is a limit point.

Along an isoquant, the MRTS shows the rate at which one input (e.g. capital or labor) may be substituted for another, while maintaining the same level of output. Thus the MRTS is the absolute value of the slope of an isoquant at the point in question. When relative input usages are optimal, the marginal rate of technical substitution is equal to the relative unit costs of the inputs, and the slope of the isoquant at the chosen point equals the slope of the isocost curve (see Conditional factor demands).

The definition also implies that the constitutive equations are spatially local; that is, the stress is only affected by the state of deformation in an infinitesimal neighborhood of the point in question, without regard for the deformation or motion of the rest of the material. It also implies that body forces (such as gravity), and inertial forces cannot affect the properties of the material. Finally, a Cauchy-elastic material must satisfy the requirements of material objectivity. Cauchy-elastic materials are mathematical abstractions, and no real material fits this definition perfectly.

Spherical coordinates (r, θ, φ) as commonly used in physics: radial distance r, polar angle θ (theta), and azimuthal angle φ (phi). The symbol ρ (rho) is often used instead of r. Note: This page uses common physics notation for spherical coordinates, in which \theta is the angle between the z axis and the radius vector connecting the origin to the point in question, while \phi is the angle between the projection of the radius vector onto the x-y plane and the x axis. Several other definitions are in use, and so care must be taken in comparing different sources.

It warrants further hopes that the ensuing postponement of resolution on this particular point, in a way that causes neither side excessive discomfort, will enable them to make real progress on other matters. If this progress takes place, the unresolved question might be revisited at a later date, if not voided altogether by the passage of time. On the other hand, since ambiguity in agreements can generate subsequent controversy, the likelihood of its employment proving constructive in comparison to further attempts to negotiate the point in question in clear terms is a question best left for historians.

The point in question for the court was whether or not the FCC had enacted its regulations with reasonable deliberation. The ARRL was not requesting a complete reversal of the regulation, but it was simply desiring that the FCC be required to renegotiate its regulations and exercise more diligence and deliberation at arriving at its required regulative stances. The court sympathized with this point, believing that in all likelihood, that the FCC's decision was overly harsh on amateur radio operators. However the court believed it had insufficient reason to prove the FCC had unreasonably mandated its regulations for all radio operators.

Consider the problem of estimating the probability that a test point in N-dimensional Euclidean space belongs to a set, where we are given sample points that definitely belong to that set. Our first step would be to find the centroid or center of mass of the sample points. Intuitively, the closer the point in question is to this center of mass, the more likely it is to belong to the set. However, we also need to know if the set is spread out over a large range or a small range, so that we can decide whether a given distance from the center is noteworthy or not.

Campbell believed that Aristotle's syllogistic method is faulty for four reasons: :# It is offered as a method of discovery when at best it is a way to present ideas; :# Even in mathematics or as a method of presentation, it is not efficient or effective since its formal rules do not guarantee validity; :# Even if it is only used as a method of reasoning, a syllogism is not very useful because it leads one to discover what is obvious from the first premise, because the syllogism will most likely assume the point in question; :# Even if they will sometimes guard the mind against an oversight, syllogisms often also mislead and are hardly the most effective check against carelessness.

The Green Mountain Lookout Heritage Protection Act () is a law that prevents the United States Forest Service from removing a building from the Glacier Peak Wilderness in Washington unless the agency determines that the structure is unsafe for visitors. Senator Patty Murray (D-WA) argued that the bill should be passed in order to help the tourism industry in the area, but protecting the lookout point in question. The building had been scheduled to be removed as a result of a lawsuit by a group called the Wilderness Watch against the federal government for using various machinery and a helicopter to repair the lookout. The bill was introduced into the United States Senate during the 113th United States Congress.

Another commonly encountered term is the Special Flood Hazard Area, which is any area subject to inundation by the 100-year flood. A problem is that any alteration of the watershed upstream of the point in question can potentially affect the ability of the watershed to handle water, and thus potentially affects the levels of the periodic floods. A large shopping center and parking lot, for example, may raise the levels of the 5-year, 100-year, and other floods, but the maps are rarely adjusted, and are frequently rendered obsolete by subsequent development. In order for flood-prone property to qualify for government-subsidized insurance, a local community must adopt an ordinance that protects the floodway and requires that new residential structures built in Special Flood Hazard Areas be elevated to at least the level of the 100-year flood.

A Newtonian fluid is a fluid in which the viscous stresses arising from its flow, at every point, are linearly correlated to the local strain rate—the rate of change of its deformation over time. That is equivalent to saying those forces are proportional to the rates of change of the fluid's velocity vector as one moves away from the point in question in various directions. More precisely, a fluid is Newtonian only if the tensors that describe the viscous stress and the strain rate are related by a constant viscosity tensor that does not depend on the stress state and velocity of the flow. If the fluid is also isotropic (that is, its mechanical properties are the same along any direction), the viscosity tensor reduces to two real coefficients, describing the fluid's resistance to continuous shear deformation and continuous compression or expansion, respectively.

Perjury operates in American law as an inherited principle of the common law of England, which defined the act as the "willful and corrupt giving, upon a lawful oath, or in any form allowed by law to be substituted for an oath, in a judicial proceeding or course of justice, of a false testimony material to the issue or matter of inquiry". William Blackstone touched on the subject in his Commentaries on the Laws of England, establishing perjury as "a crime committed when a lawful oath is administered, in some judicial proceeding, to a person who swears willfully, absolutely, and falsely, in a matter material to the issue or point in question". The punishment for perjury under the common law has varied from death to banishment and has included such grotesque penalties as severing the tongue of the perjurer. The definitional structure of perjury provides an important framework for legal proceedings, as the component parts of this definition have permeated jurisdictional lines, finding a home in American legal constructs.
