A 22% increase in knife-crime in England and Wales, largely concentrated in London, has seen alarmist headlines about London's murder rate eclipsing that of New York's (true only if one squints hard enough at very particular statistics.) The reasons for this are complicated, but largely to do with significant cuts to the police (whose numbers have fallen by nearly 20% since 2010) and also other social services: in the absence of youth services and clubs, for example, children are more vulnerable to recruitment from gangs.

Those with true congenital alternating squints have two healthy eyes, and the ability to switch (by choice) between seeing with either eye. However, stereoscopic and three dimensional vision can never be achieved in this condition (attempts to train those with true congenital alternating squints into binocular vision results in double vision, which can be irreversible).

Someone with esotropia will squint with either the right or the left eye but never with both eyes simultaneously. In a left esotropia, the left eye 'squints,' and in a right esotropia the right eye 'squints.' In an alternating esotropia, the patient is able to alternate fixation between their right and left eye so that at one moment the right eye fixates and the left eye turns inward, and at the next the left eye fixates and the right turns inward. This alteration between the left and right eye is mostly spontaneous, but may be voluntary in some cases.

The chancel is approached through a wide Norman arch. The squints on either side are modern. Thurlby notes that the detailing of parts of the arch date it to around 1130. The chancel roof is in part original (notably the cross beams) but with much of the timberwork renewed.
|
|
Inside the tower is a lierne vault. The nave has an open timber roof. The details of the columns and arches of the arcades vary, some being Norman in style, and others Gothic. On the north and south walls of the chancel are squints, and on the south wall are a piscina and a credence table.

Stealth mechanics have been reworked. An eye icon squints or opens to denote the player's level of detection by the enemy. Enemy soldiers will also have a circle meter over their heads to indicate alert status. Players are also forced to relocate periodically to prevent detection with a white ghost image to mark their last known position and the enemy will search a wider area.

These may have served as squints originally. The structure dominates the nave through its sheer height, the use of massive square stone blocks with a smooth, plain finish, and the three moulded shafts on each side. The jambs terminate in bulky chamfered imposts. The arch has been compared to that of another Grade I-listed Anglo-Saxon church in West Sussex—the slightly older St Nicholas' Church at Worth.

The parish church of St John the Baptist is in Early English style and cruciform shape, it has a nave, transepts, south porch and square tower with six small bells and a clock. The registers date from 1558. Records show that the first rector arrived in 1325. In the north and south transept there are spyholes, known as squints, through which the congregation could see the priest at the altar.

The church was recorded as Grade I listed in 1968. There are four bells, at present unringable; the tenor was cast c. 1400 at Salisbury, and the others were cast by Lott of Warminster in the 17th century. Unusually, there is a solid wall between nave and chancel, pierced by a central doorway and two squints; in 1910 an almost full-height carved oak screen designed by Bodley & Garner was installed against it.
|
|
The arch dividing the nave from the chancel is 15th- century, as are the arched openings between each of the aisles and corresponding chancel chapels - the north aisle arch has round columns and those to the south aisle arch are semi-octagonal. The wall to the chancel contains squints on each side. The structure of the nave roof has crown posts and tie beams. The roof of the chancel is barrel vaulted with moulded bosses.

Architectural features of East church include squints (hagioscopes), stone benches, a carved stone reredos, and roof level markings on the tower, which tell the story of development in the East church. Other features of interest in the East chapel are the medieval wall paintings, which include the Royal Standard of King James c. 1604, St. Christopher (c.1400) and those of Mary Magdalene and the Virgin Mary on the walls of the Chancel.

Where a patient tends to consistently fixate with one eye and squint with the other, the eye that squints is likely to develop some amblyopia. Someone whose squint alternates is very unlikely to develop amblyopia because both eyes will receive equal visual stimulation. It is possible to encourage alternation through the use of occlusion or patching of the 'dominant' or 'fixating' eye to promote the use of the other. Esotropia is a highly prevalent congenital condition.

While Charlie gathers more fish, Chilly drops an anvil over the dog to wake him up. Charlie takes the anvil to the head instead, holding in his scream, then runs over to a nearby desk and writes down on a piece of paper, "Ouch!". As he angrily squints, he flips the paper over, revealing a series of symbols indicating profanity. As Charlie puts down the anvil, he accidentally drops it on the dog, forcing him to sing to him again.

During the late 1990s, he played a recurring role as Otto the Nome Prince in the ABC cartoon series The Oz Kids. In 2019 he appeared in the music video for the song "Homicide" by Logic featuring Eminem, lip syncing Logic's verses.

As her name suggests, her catchphrase for the show is "Whoops!". She also says that she doesn't like "flat food" and claims she's a "trained professional" at everything she does. While in the book, she is Mr. Bump's sister, it is never mentioned in the TV series (except on the Cartoon Network site and the Mr. Men Show magazine) although they are the same color and equally clumsy. Apparently, Miss Whoops is very near-sighted when she was seen without her glasses (explained well in the episode, "Eyeglasses"); even in the book, she squints.

St Michael and All Angels parish church A church was built on this site circa 1100; the earliest remaining features are three Norman columns from about 1200 which form the north arcade. The south arcade was rebuilt with Early English Gothic pointed arches, a bay longer than the previous arcade, together with a new tower of cut stone at the West end. There are hagioscopes (squints) in both transepts, an aumbry is in the north and two more in the south transept and aisle. The village's Web site provides this comment about its early history.

Throughout the series, Angela Montenegro is described as a "free spirit", "good-time girl" and "wild child". She is shown to be more socially "normal" than her coworkers at the Jeffersonian, and seems to not consider herself a scientist like the other "squints", instead on multiple occasions referencing facial reconstruction as an "art". In one episode, the character Jack Hodgins calls Angela "the heart of the operation." Angela's more typical social skills are often used by the writers as a balancing point and audience surrogate; she demonstrates a need to interact with other people in a way her more awkward colleagues do not.

Many squints in Mediæval churches were to allow a priest at a side altar to see the high altar in the chancel. However, position of the squint in this church suggests it may have been for a bellringer to see when to ring a Sanctus bell which would have been in a bell-gable outside above the chancel arch. Norman west portal below a Decorated Gothic window St Mary's priory was under royal patronage by early in the 13th century and was made an abbey in 1458. But in the Dissolution of the Monasteries it surrendered to The Crown in 1538.

Hanson also explained that, "He's a well-beloved character... probably the favorite squint of the audience, so we decided to kill him for the heartbreak". Episode 4 features the character Professor Bunsen Jude "The Science Dude", which is inspired by real-life person Bill Nye "the Science Guy", having a similar name and a children's science show.

It praised Ogunmola's acting as Aida, but criticized the concurrent role as "Mystic", describing it as "too hard to be sexy, slurs her words, squints her eyes, moves slowly and portrays herself in a manner that seems forced". Sobi was also noted to have portrayed his "playboy" persona well, but his transition into being in love was tagged "unrealistic". It got a 55% rating with the reviewer concluding that "Sobi’s Mystic combines good music, fair acts, an imaginative story and a disappointing resolution, and winds up an average film". ·Daniel Okechukwu in its review praised the soundtrack and storyline.

It is also not unusual, especially in more recent TV programs such as Bones and NCIS, for there to be a team of sidekicks. In Bones, for example, FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth often fulfills one of the traditional roles of a sidekick by providing translations for the brilliant but socially incapable Dr. Temperance Brennan. Both Brennan and Booth, however, are heroes in their own right. The sidekicks in this case are the team of "squints" back in the Jeffersonian Institution's Medico-Legal Lab, each with their own scientific specialty, all of whom are usually needed to break the case.

Brennan works with a group of other well-qualified colleagues, including the entomologist Jack Hodgins, her boss and forensic pathologist Camille Saroyan, forensic artist Angela Montenegro, and a host of eager graduate students. Booth refers to her crew of colleagues as "squints", because they come to crime scenes and squint at evidence. He is also responsible for her nickname, "Bones", which she initially detested. In the first-season finale (which aired on May 17, 2006), Brennan stated that she was born in 1976, which would have made her either 29 or 30 (approximately the same age as Deschanel, who was born on October 11, 1976).

Given that the liturgy was said in Latin, the people contented themselves with their own private devotions until this point. Because of the difficulty of sight lines, some churches had holes, 'squints', cut strategically in walls and screens, through which the elevation could be seen from the nave. Again, from the twin principles that every priest must say his mass every day and that an altar could only be used once, in religious communities a number of altars were required for which space had to be found, at least within monastic churches. Apart from changes in the liturgy, the other major influence on church architecture was in the use of new materials and the development of new techniques.

Booth is very suspicious of his ability to predict behavior using psychoanalysis, calling it "Jedi mind tricks". Also, while able to quickly recognize when someone is lying (Booth has described him as a "portable polygraph"), he himself does not appear to be very good at lying; when he lied about his personal life in "Double Trouble in the Panhandle", both Booth and Brennan were able to tell easily. Sweets is characterized as extremely intelligent and he has often been able to provide much-needed insight into a case when the Jeffersonian team hit a dead end with physical evidence. He is generally well-liked and valued by the "squints" despite Brennan's dislike of psychology and Hodgins' incessant jibes about his youthful appearance.

Then there's a quick cut to Lester and his wife pursuing Cleveland. Then there's a crash zoom in on Cleveland, who has his head sticking out of the side of the car as he squints at Lester. It's not exactly a sophisticated visual cue, but it is proof that The Cleveland Show’s creators can infrequently be funny without trying too hard". Mark Trammell of TV Equals gave the episode a positive review, noting "I can’t recall anyone ever doing two Thanksgiving-themed episodes back-to-back before, but I guess there’s a first time for everything, as that’s exactly what “The Cleveland Show” did with “Turkey Pot Die,” a follow-up of sorts to last week's “A General Thanksgiving Episode,” albeit unrelated save for the holiday connection.

In some churches, 'squints' (holes in the screen) would ensure that everyone could see the elevation, as seeing the bread made flesh was significant for the congregation. Moreover, while Sunday Masses were very important, there were also weekday services which were celebrated at secondary altars in front of the screen (such as the "Jesus altar", erected for the worship of the Holy Name, a popular devotion in mediaeval times) which thus became the backdrop to the celebration of the Mass. The Rood itself provided a focus for worship according to the medieval Use of Sarum, most especially in Holy Week, when worship was highly elaborate. During Lent the Rood was veiled; on Palm Sunday it was revealed before the procession of palms and the congregation knelt before it.

An American Hippie in Israel has been called a “cinematic oddity” with a “creepy sincerity.” Gil Shefler of The Jewish Daily Forward described the film as "perfectly awful," offering that it "[p]robably [is] the worst Israeli movie ever made, and a serious candidate for the worst movie of all time, which, surprisingly, is enjoying an unexpected revival 38 years after it was made." Alexandra Oliver of Partisan Magazine agreed, titling her review, "Is This the Worst Israeli Film Ever Made?" Reviewer Brian Orndorf of Blu-ray.com remarked, “for all the nonsense and pull-your-hair-out padding that's included in the feature, Sefer has a weird vision for "Hippie" that almost works if one squints hard enough, attempting to make an anti-war picture that's soaked in oddity and nudity.

Where the blast was deflected so as to pass overhead by several metres, it left the topsoil and the seeds it contained, permitting faster revegetation with scrub and herbaceous plants, and later with saplings.

Though rarely encountered in continental Europe, they are occasionally found to serve such purposes as allowing a monk in one of the vestries to follow the service and to communicate with the bell- ringers. Sometimes squints were placed to enable nuns to observe the services without having to give up their isolation. The unusual design of the church of St Helen's in Bishopsgate, one of the largest surviving ancient churches of London, arose from its once having been two separate places of worship: a 13th-century parish church and the chapel of a Benedictine convent. On the convent side of St Helen's Church, a "squint" allowed the nuns to observe the parish masses; church records show that the squint in this case was not enough to restrain the nuns, who were eventually admonished to "abstain from kissing secular persons", a practice to which it seems they had become "too prone".

Tenor drums are used as a marching percussion instrument, commonly as mounted sets of 4-6 drums allowing one person to carry and play multiple drums simultaneously. Other names for these drums include names specific to configurations by number of drums: "duos" (2 drums), "tris", "trios", "trips", or "triples" (3 drums), "quads" (4 drums), "quints" (5 drums), and "squints," "hexes," "six-packs," "tenors" or "sextets" (6 drums). The number-specific term "quads" is often used as a generic term even for configurations with more than four drums. Typically there are four main drums, usually either 8, 10, 12, and 13 inches in diameter (which is referred to as a high school configuration or small block tenors) or 10, 12, 13, and 14 inches in diameter (referred to as a Corps configuration or big block tenors), plus one or two accent drums (typically 6 or 8 inches in diameter)).
