The moment I stepped into Furong Town it seemed that I had fallen into a vortex of troubles.

I'm going down the river, down to the whirlpool.

While others fish where mountain waters swirl

Just a great big hole in the water.

well, the whirlpool ain't no place for a girl.

MM This little kid is in the middle of a war zone.

Pyriform silk glands make the attachment cement that's the silk that's used to adhere silk lines to a substrate.

I spiraled deeper and deeper into a depression.

I then, in the last few years, learned about the Pacific garbage patch and the gyre.

And then, here's a beautiful composite of the Whirlpool Galaxy, taken by the Hubble Space Telescope.

You're like driftwood out in the river, with the current pulling one way and the eddy going another.

A whirlpool, for Steve Grand, is a thing with just as much reality as a rock.

In 2007, I did a rather involuntary capsize drill three times in 24 hours.

They don't know that anything hits the water between here and Vicksburg ends up down at the big whirlpool!

So here I was wallowing in a vortex of emotions and depression and what have you, with the enormity of the situation, wanting to go to a place of healing, health and happiness.

Your encouraging whispers in my whirlpool of despair, holding me and heaving me to shores of sanity, to live again and to love again.

It was impossible to give way in a road segment in Shilibei Village in Daxuanping Town, so the traffic police got in touch with the village party branch and village committee in advance to use the village road for bypassing and stop the social vehicles from entering.

Perhaps even worse is when it finds its way into our oceans, like in the great plastic gyre, where these materials are being mechanically broken into smaller and smaller bits, but they're not really going away.

RB Yeah. No, I put on my oxygen mask and stood on top of the balloon, with my parachute, looking at the swirling clouds below, trying to pluck up my courage to jump into the North Sea, which and it was a very, very, very lonely few moments.

Looking back on the past 40 years of reform and opening up, China dares to plunge into the vast sea of the world market. Although it has encountered whirlpool and storm, it always faces all risks and challenges with an open attitude, constantly releases its endogenous driving force and continuously improves its competitiveness.

So if we imagine a section of our infinite universe and so I've put down four spiral galaxies, OK and imagine that you put down a set of tape measures, so every line on here corresponds to a tape measure, horizontal or vertical, for measuring where things are.

And what happens is that as we turn increasingly to rules, rules and incentives may make things better in the short run, but they create a downward spiral that makes them worse in the long run.

And it turns out that the insects flap their wings in a very clever way, at a very high angle of attack that creates a structure at the leading edge of the wing, a little tornado like structure called a leading edge vortex, and it's that vortex that actually enables the wings to make enough force for the animal to stay in the air.

On the other hand, it is important not to isolate Russia completely, given shared interests with the US and Europe relating to nuclear security and non proliferation, terrorism, space, the Artic, and Iran and Afghanistan. No one will benefit from a new Cold War.

WASHINGTON, DC In the maelstrom of events and news that characterize the current global crisis, it is often difficult to keep a clear head and a sense of what is really going on. But when one takes a step back (something easier to do on days when markets are closed), the picture becomes clearer, and so do the required policies.

Bush did nothing to stop the killings in Darfur or hasten Mugabe s exit from power. Clinton, meanwhile, shamefully abandoned Somalia after the deaths of American soldiers in Mogadishu and did nothing in the face of Rwanda s genocide.

Several proponents of these new ideas have openly used the analogy with drugs. It has been argued that if, in 2007, the US had a Financial Products Safety Commission akin to its Food and Drugs Administration, the market would not have been flooded with teaser mortgages that entangled millions of households in chains of predatory credit.

The incitement against Syrian religious minorities promulgated by extremist TV stations, and by people like the Chief Justice of Saudi Arabia's Supreme Judicial Council, coupled with equally damaging behavior by Iran, if left unchecked, could result in an even worse bloodbath, with Syria's people drawn into a war of all against all.

The real victor of the campaign, with a vote that jumped up to 14.5 and a position in parliament that will determine the shape of the new coalition government, was the heir of classic German liberalism, the FDP. It campaigned on a promise of tax reduction and of deregulation in order to stimulate the economic growth that Germany needs to get out of the economic crisis.

Historically, outside parties have thus played a decisive role. Will foreign governments and the International Monetary Fund extend vital finances to the new government, or will they let it flounder and drown in a tsunami of currency depreciation and inflation?

The US is again caught in a spiral of distrust and uncertainty with other countries (and the same is true of countless conflicts around the world that do not involve the US). America s conflict with Iran is one such powerful case others include its conflicts with Cuba and North Korea, and also the Israeli Palestinian conflict, in which the US is deeply engaged as a supporter of Israel.

The point is that under political systems as obscure as those in Syria and Russia no one knows who really controls what. It defies belief that the political successors of those who confidently launched the invasion of Iraq on the false evidence that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction should be so eager to be sucked into another bloody maelstrom.

NEW DELHI The problems and dilemmas confronting Pakistan s leadership including a deepening vortex of mutual suspicions, sectarian killings, and brazen terrorism are almost too numerous to count. And that leadership whether civilian, military, and also the now politically active judiciary has proven congenitally ineffective, leaving the country with a broken economy and a paralyzed political system.

WELLINGTON The world is currently in the grip of a diabetes epidemic. A recent major study by Majid Ezzati and colleagues from Imperial College London and Harvard University found that the number of adults with type 2 diabetes increased from an estimated 153 million in 1980 to 347 million in 2008.

So was Robert Theobald, who, in his 1963 book Free Men and Free Markets questioned the public s repugnance toward high unemployment. He asserted that we can have meaningful leisure rather than destructive unemployment, and that we do not need a whirling dervish economy dependent on compulsive consumption.

As one fruit of their efforts, an astronomer from the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO), heading an international team, used HST apos s Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 in May 1994 to obtain valuable new images of Supernova 1994I, discovered by amateur astronomers in April 1994 in the inner regions of the quot Whirlpool Galaxy, quot M51.
