What's extraordinary about this is not just the sheer number of species we're finding although as you can see that's pretty amazing, this is only half of what we've found what's extraordinary is how quickly we find them.

ROME Every year, we waste or lose 1.3 billion metric tons of food one third of the world s annual food production. The sheer scale of the number makes it almost impossible to grasp, no matter how one approaches it.

I managed to stick in both the zeppelin and an ocean liner out of sheer enthusiasm.

Do you lustfully approach men instead of women? Nay, you engage in acts of sheer ignorance.

The sheer amount of cocaine on the ship meant they had to be removed by a crane

Each made a different contribution, depending on country specific circumstances and conditions of German rule. But the Holocaust played out most gruesomely in Eastern Europe, owing to the sheer number of Jews in the region and the incomparable ruthlessness of the Nazi occupation regimes.

While the power to make one s own choices is appealing in theory, the sheer number of options can be exhausting and disorienting not least because of the pressure to make the right choice. As Barry Schwartz has pointed out, choices are an opportunity for regret.

Now, the sheer numbers of these hand axes shows that they can't have been made for butchering animals.

But they knew that the sheer length of this journey would stretch their supplies of food and water.

Man They'll get an incredible panorama and understand, I think more completely, the sheer totality of the destruction of the place.

Terrorism is a form of theatre. It invokes its effects not by sheer destruction, but by dramatizing atrocious acts against civilians.

Now as another Sign place your hand under your arm and it will come out sheer white without harm (or stain).

Then there is geography France s massive urban concentration around the capital Paris and its suburbs contain nearly 20 of the population is unique in Europe. The sheer number of confused and disoriented young people has overwhelmed the French system s capacity to integrate them even though its capacity in this regard is, in fact, impressive.

I'd go to Central Park and see the rolling topography of Central Park come up against the abrupt and sheer topography of midtown Manhattan.

The need for this skill in the face of the sheer quantity of useful information being presented to the United Nations is growing rapidly.

The Government's position is that the information provided by the source concerning the deprivation of liberty of Thich Quang Do is a sheer fabrication.

An interconnected energy system would make particular sense for the UK and Germany, which could use the one hour time difference between them to smooth out the peaks and troughs in demand. Renewable energy production is by nature intermittent, and the sheer number of fluctuating power sources in Germany is already pushing its existing grid to the limit.

Some, including Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, claim that the conflicts generating these refugees rage only in Arab countries that are being bombed by the West.

Indeed, the sheer number of princelings, including children of incumbent Chinese leaders, now attending Ivy League universities clearly points to the importance of family ties.

We have only to read the newspaper, turn on the television, or go online to appreciate the sheer scale of the need. Conflicts rage in too many places.

Because of the sheer magnitude of the conflict, the Second World War certainly presents a unique case in the study of the effect of armed conflict on treaties.

She's holding back tons of steel with the sheer force of her little personality, in that crone ish voice, saying things like, Back it up, buddy! No, it's reserved!

And this is because the scientific worldview is so much more exciting, more poetic, more filled with sheer wonder than anything in the poverty stricken arsenals of the religious imagination.
