In economics, discouraged workers is a person of legal employment age who is not actively seeking employment or who does not find employment after long-term unemployment. This is usually because an individual has given up looking or has had no success in finding a job, hence the term "discouraged". A discouraged worker is defined as a person not in the labor force who wants and is available for a job and who has looked for work sometime in the past 12 months (or since the end of his or her last job if a job was held within the past 12 months), but who is not currently looking because of real or perceived poor employment prospects.
The top five reasons for discouraged workers are the following:
1)The worker thinks no work is available.
2) The worker could not find work.
3) The worker lacks schooling or training.
4) The worker is viewed as too young or too old by the prospective employer.
5) The worker is the target of various types of discrimination.

Derek has always liked the jokes I would tell him, but he always had an abderian laughter about him, that I found the most annoying.

If the knight ends on a square that is one knight's move from the beginning square (so that it could tour the board again immediately, following the same path), the tour is closed, otherwise it is open. A knight's tour problem is the mathematical problem of finding a knight's tour. Creating a program to find a knight's tour is a common problem given to computer science students. Variations of the knight's tour problem involve chessboards of different sizes than the usual 8 × 8, as well as irregular (non-rectangular) board.
While Brandon was on vacation, he steadily began to master the game theory involving chess. But when he was introduced to the knights tour, he realized this new level of expertise had more involvement than anything he encountered before.

As if having just acquiring these blasted chilblains wasn’t bad enough, I now had to take care of this disdaining flow of meldrops.

There are three kinds of meta-ethics problems, or three general questions:
1) What is the meaning of moral terms or judgments? (moral semantics)
2) What is the nature of moral judgments? (moral ontology)
3) How may moral judgments be supported or defended? (moral epistemology) A question of the first type might be, "What do the words 'good', 'bad', 'right' and 'wrong' mean?" The second category includes questions of whether moral judgments are universal or relative, of one kind or many kinds, etc. Questions of the third kind ask, for example, how we can know if something is right or wrong, if at all.

Very similar to the participation in the Marco Polo threshold, but since a cat can’t say, “Marco!”, “Meow!” will have to suffice. In response to the “Meow!”, (Marco) from the cat, it’s human should then say, “Polo!” The game ends when the losing opponent stops responding in return.
I decided to start a game of Meow! Polo! when my cat Snee - Ki, started to have a separation/anxiety attack when she couldn’t find me. In response to her exclaiming “Meow!, I would then answer back by saying,”Polo!”

When the water in the lower soup can, which was attached to the trigger of the rifle, reached a certain weight, the rifle was fired. This ruse could lead a battle front of defenders, into believing that there could still be troops opposing them, while the soldiers were being evacuated. Lots of drip rifles can be set to go off at different times, to give the impression that the enemy forces, were still in a defensive position.
“The Anzac soldiers in the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps of 1914 - 1918, would sometimes employ the specialized use of a drip rifle, in order to confuse or manipulate the opposing offense into believing that they were at a tactical disadvantage, when in fact, they were not.”
