The girl brushed past me.

Have you brushed your teeth?

Jack brushed the dust off his coat.

The aluminum castings must be brushed again.

Four hurricanes brushed the Islands in 2004.

And these were steel, mica, plastic, copper and nickel.

New Caledonia's economy is dominated by the nickel industry.

There are currently three major nickel related projects under way in the Territory, namely, those of Société Le Nickel, Falconbridge Limited and the International Nickel Corporation (Inco) (see A AC.109 2000 4, paras. 30 32 A AC.109 2001 14, paras. 33 36 and A AC.109 2002 13, paras.

The Territory, which is the third largest nickel producer in the world after the Russian Federation and Canada, is estimated to have at least 25 per cent of the world's nickel reserves27 and is responsible for 6 per cent of the world's nickel output, employing some 3,500 people in mining firms of varying sizes.

The United States imports an average of 130,000 tons of raw nickel per year.

The most important of these is stainless steel, which contains mainly chromium and nickel in varying proportions.

In Cambodia in 1993, the sexual exploitation of women and girls by UNTAC troops was brushed aside as boys will be boys.

Major outward investors include Lukoil, Gazprom, Novoship, Norilsk Nickel, Primorsk Shipping Corporation and the Far East Shipping Company.

High world nickel prices during 2004 provided a significant boost to New Caledonia's mining revenue (see also para.

So if you brush up against it, any place you brushed against it, you get this twinkling blue green light that's just breathtaking.

The three provinces have each signed up to acquire a total share of 10 per cent in Goro Nickel.

After I brushed them off with a hand motion, they were very I finally was now accepted, and worked there for some six months.

Nickel mining is also important in the province, but is mostly concentrated in Morowali, on the opposite coast of Sulawesi.

New Caledonia has benefited from higher global nickel prices in 2004, partly as a result of strong demand from China.

The debate over the impact that new nickel projects will have on New Caledonia's pristine maritime environment began some years ago.

I think the most curious one that I came across was a case report of a woman who had an orgasm every time she brushed her teeth.

A good example of joint decision making was the agreement between the Voisey Bay Nickel Company, the Innu Nation and the Labrador Inuit Association.

The third project by the Canadian company, Inco, for a new nickel mining and smelting project at Goro, South Province, resumed in early 2005, following long delays.

Notwithstanding further delays, the mine is due to open in 2007 and is expected to eventually produce 60,000 tonnes of nickel and 5,000 tonnes of cobalt per year.30

Imagine if you had an ordinary cell phone, and any time you were in a wireless hotspot free calls anywhere in the world, never pay the cellular company a nickel.

The people who brushed and flossed their teeth were not necessarily the people who were really scared about what would happen it's the people who simply felt that they had the capacity to change their behavior.

Alloyed steels, which are sometimes also called special steels and may be considered specialty products, contain small portions of alloying elements such as chromium, cobalt, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, niobium, silicon, tungsten or vanadium.

According to the French Government, the renovation, which implies the upgrading of one of Doniambo's three smelters and of another Société Le Nickel mine, at Tiebaghi, is scheduled to begin production in 2006.29

Chen s personal wealth grew conspicuously shortly after he assumed office, but no one could produce hard evidence of his corruption back then. His political supporters initially brushed aside the mushrooming rumors of his self enrichment as opposition KMT propaganda.

We've been working on this, actually, as an alternative energy source, starting way back with Johnson Johnson, to run an iBOT, because the best batteries you could get 10 watt hours per kilogram in lead, 20 watt hours per kilogram nickel cadmium, 40 watt hours per kilogram in nickel metal hydride, 60 watt hours per kilogram in lithium, 8,750 watt hours of energy in every kilogram of propane or gasoline which is why nobody drives electric cars.

Because of its proximity, Cuba would be a natural supplier of nickel, and but for the embargo could be selling the United States over 30,000 tons per year, worth at current prices over 500 million.

Although this highly dynamic sector makes up between 80 and 90 per cent of New Caledonia's exports and generates numerous related economic activities, it is fragile in that it is almost entirely dependent on international demand and nickel prices.

Syria asserts that the analyses performed at Dura Europos reveal an external patina that contains many black metal oxides and carbon particles typical of air pollution as well as small quantities of vanadium, nickel, chromium, lead and many trace elements.

Zappos is the one, the only, the best there ever was place for people who are into shoes to find each other, to talk about their passion, to connect with people who care more about customer service than making a nickel tomorrow.

In fact, the greatest wealth. If you think about these other asteroids, there's a class of the nickel iron, which in platinum group metal markets alone are worth something like 20 trillion dollars, if you can go out and grab one of these rocks.

(b) cobalt crusts means hydroxide oxide deposits of cobalt rich iron manganese (ferromanganese) crust formed from direct precipitation of minerals from seawater onto hard substrates containing minor but significant concentrations of cobalt, titanium, nickel, platinum, molybdenum, tellurium, cerium, other metallic and rare earth elements

The first of the three projects is being developed by Société Le Nickel (the New Caledonian affiliate of the French State owned company Eramet), which is investing between 140 million and 190 million in its Doniambo smelter to boost production from 60,000 to 75,000 tons per year.

After all, he reacted to China s growing activities in Africa which his officials maintained was reminiscent of imperialism by receiving an official visit in 2006 from Taiwan s then President Chen Shui bian. As the pressure from the rebels grew, Qaddafi s last hope for maintaining power became China, and so fear of its influence in Africa was brushed aside.

According to the 624 samples recovered from the sea floor, the average nodule coverage is 7.8 kg m2 in area W and 13.5 kg m2 in area E, and the nodule resources of the total area amount to 1,830 million tons, with nickel, copper and cobalt altogether comprising 46.6 million tons.

However, according to the Economist Intelligence Unit, demonstrations, environmental concerns and industrial disputes could hinder the project's progress. The arrest in February 2005 of two Kanak leaders over a blockade of the Goro Nickel mine construction site has raised concern about whether smooth implementation of the project can be achieved.

A series of recent investment projects emanating from China are noteworthy, for example 20 billion projects in Argentina in railways, oil and gas exploration, construction and communication satellites 5 billion worth of investment projects in Brazil ranging from a new railway to infrastructure for two ports and a 600 million nickel plant in Cuba.

The American economist Julian Simon allegedly issued a challenge in 1980 to a group of environmentalists, saying that if scarcity were to be measured in terms of higher prices, they should invest in stocks of any raw metal. The environmentalists put their money on chromium, copper, nickel, tin, and tungsten, and picked a time frame of 10 years.

Fundamental tenets of a democratic society, such as freedom of expression, freedom of assembly, and freedom of the press are increasingly coming under pressure. And the prosecution of opposition members, which has now culminated in the arrest and detention of former Prime Minister Yuliya Tymoshenko during an ongoing trial that most of the West has deemed political seems to confirm that the rule of law is being brushed aside.

And one of the side effects of having major massive blood loss is you get tunnel vision, so I remember being on the stretcher and having a little nickel sized cone of vision, and I was moving my head around and we got to St. Vincent's, and we're racing down this hallway, and I see the lights going, and it's a peculiar effect of memories like that.

In January 2002, following the second meeting of the signatories of the Nouméa Accord, the French Government announced that its economic assistance to New Caledonia over the coming decade would be invested mainly in the nickel industry, tourism and education.25 In addition, 19 million has been reserved for investment contracts between the French State and the local government units (communes) in the Territory.
