So within the team, their interests are actually pitted against each other.

No, indeed! They shall deny their service, and they shall be against them pitted.

No, indeed! They shall deny their service, and they shall be against them pitted.

Outwardly calm, even placid... she nevertheless pitted herself against death with a passion words are impotent to convey.

None tried to seize a leadership role. The power struggle pitted the forces of Hosni Mubarak s regime against the people, including women, who were on the streets and in the squares demanding freedom, dignity, and social justice.

Given this, the JCP s gains were probably fueled more by disgruntled voters desire to signal their frustration to Abe. In fact, in those districts where the election pitted JCP and LDP candidates against each other, many citizens did not take the trouble to vote.

Of the four withdrawals, arguably the 1982 1984 American intervention in Lebanon marks the closest parallel to Iraq today. A country torn by sectarian violence beginning in 1975, Lebanon pitted an even more complex array of contestants against each other than Iraq does today.

The Mercedes pitted a lap later and came out behind Vettel, but Hamilton went ahead after some wheel to wheel action that saw the Ferrari driver reluctantly leave the inside free at risk of holding out after a double move to defend on the third corner.

The doctrinal battle pitted the proponents of permissibility, who thought that a reservation could be intrinsically invalid by being contrary to the object and purpose of the treaty, against the advocates of opposability, for whom the reservations regime was governed in its entirety by the reactions of other States.

Moreover, it would be wrong to view this as a purely regional phenomenon limited to the so called Arab Spring. The same kind of unrest, in which the countryside is pitted against the town, with both sides demanding more rights, could undermine the political order in China and other big emerging market economies.

Tensions are fed by the same factors that led to the long running war in Southern Sudan a central Government that has exploited local resources, imposed its religious and cultural beliefs on a historically diverse population and consistently pitted local tribes and ethnic groups against each other for short term tactical gain.

During the 2004 Asia Nations Cup final, which pitted China against Japan, Chinese supporters wore 1930 s style Japanese military uniforms to express their hostility to the Japanese team. Other Chinese fans brandished placards with the number 300,000 written on it, a reference to the number of Chinese murdered by the Japanese army in 1937.

Yet pitted against these positive developments were recent nuclear tests carried out by two non signatories. We have seen the partial dismantling of nuclear arsenals, but also witnessed the dangers of proliferation. Such actions fuel insecurity and mistrust. We join others in strongly urging these two countries, and indeed all countries, to exercise restraint.

What started as a revolution in the eighteenth century meaning of the term is becoming a reproduction of the religious wars that ravaged Europe from 1524 to 1648, pitting Catholics and Protestants against each other in the same way that Sunnis and Shia are pitted against each other today. (In Egypt, however, we are seeing simply the return of a military police state.)

From 1996 to 2006, Nepal was wracked by a brutal civil war that pitted a Maoist insurgency against the long ruling monarchy, whose powerful army initially enjoyed the support of the country's democratic political parties. Peace (brokered by India, with active United Nations support) came only after the Maoists and the democrats agreed in 2005 to establish a Constituent Assembly.
