This was on a monkey hunt, hunting with curare tipped darts.

Whether this mandate is still applicable today has become a hotly debated issue.

And once hotly contested, our way of measuring outcomes has actually quickly become the standard.

The business had been likened to Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop brand and was tipped to double Willoughby's estimated 11 million fortune.

The Council may recall that my staff took pictures of Goran Hadzic while he was tipped off and as he fled.

Interestingly, the LTC bidding committee had publicly declared UTE the winner in early February 2005, which was hotly contested by the other bidder, Infotel.

Jacob was angry, and argued with Laban. Jacob answered Laban, What is my trespass? What is my sin, that you have hotly pursued after me?

And we suspect that this may help to explain why older people are better than younger people at solving hotly charged emotional conflicts and debates.

Jacob was angry, and argued with Laban. Jacob answered Laban, What is my trespass? What is my sin, that you have hotly pursued after me?

And Jacob was wroth, and chode with Laban and Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my trespass? what is my sin, that thou hast so hotly pursued after me?

The 1992 exchange rate crisis then tipped the balance. Once Europe s exchange rate system blew up, the southerners argument that Europe could not afford to postpone creating the euro carried the day.

With the popularity of President Jacques Chirac and Prime Minister Jean Pierre Raffarin and French rightist forces more broadly in steep decline, a no vote could have tipped the public against ratification.

The bloc was going places or so it seemed. But seven years, seven summits, and one new member (South Africa joined in 2010) later, the significance of the BRICS remains hotly debated.

Peter Molyneux demos Milo, a hotly anticipated video game for Microsoft's Kinect controller. Perceptive and impressionable like a real 11 year old, the virtual boy watches, listens and learns recognizing and responding to you.

While the Jewish Reform movement has been ordaining female rabbis since the early 1970s, and the Conservative movement since the early 1980s, in Orthodox Judaism the notion of female rabbis is still hotly contested.

Weakening electricity demand has tipped China s coal industry into severe distress, with many mines effectively bankrupt. Falling house prices are another classic indicator of a vulnerable economy, though the exact pace of decline is difficult to assess.

One of the hotly debated issues concerned controversial concepts and terms such as terrorism , humanitarian intervention and responsibility to protect , which, in the eyes of everybody, called for further comprehensive debate in order to reach consensus on their definition.

But that is not the point. What is important is that we recognize the existence of gigantic parts of the earth s climate system such as West Antarctica s three quadrillion ton ice sheet that can be tipped when a fractional temperature rise occurs in key locations.

There an economy once tipped for ever lasting boom has barely grown for more than two years, and is currently shrinking. Falling prices for its commodity exports haven t helped, but Brazil s economy was supposed to be about far more than just harvests and extractive industries.

While sovereign credit quality has deteriorated virtually across the board, and will most probably continue to do so, the implications for individual countries vary. Some Western countries such as Greece had fragile government accounts from the outset and tipped quickly into persistent crisis mode.

These bankrupt women are better educated than their male counterparts most have some college and more than half own their own homes. What tipped them from middle class lifestyles to incomes just above the poverty line were likely to have been one or all of three factors.

Across the región, Chávez s influence was strong. His backing was a decisive influence in the election of Bolivia s President Evo Morales in 2006, and the following year he supported Daniel Ortega in Nicaragua and Rafael Correa in Ecuador, though his impact on their victories is hotly debated.

Indeed, full fledged society building started only after the 1868 Meiji Restoration, which tipped the balance of power definitively in favor of the state. As a result, the mandarins survived WWII and the postwar American occupation relatively undamaged, and they will strive to survive the DPJ government as well.

Director Edward Zwick does not shirk from showing the demons that plagued Fischer. He was justly concerned that the Russians would go to great lengths to prevent him from being champion, but ultimately rational concerns tipped into paranoia, and Fischer started to turn on his closest friends and confidants.

The surge in debt enabled demand drove up real estate prices, while banks greater willingness to lend led many people to purchase homes they couldn t afford. The collapse of the subsequent bubble a major contributor to the 2008 global financial crisis nearly tipped the world economy into a multi year depression.

Whether Germany should assume greater responsibility for seeking to resolve such issues is a hotly debated question, both inside and outside the country. During a year long Review 2014, experts, officials, and the wider public discussed challenges, priorities, and instruments of German foreign policy, and tried to define Germany's role in the world.

Given the sharp contrast between Premier Wen Jiabao s caring attitude during the earthquake and President Hu Jintao s mediocre political performance, some people could not help but imagine that the earthquake may have tipped the balance at the Communist Party s highest levels, pushing the liberal forces represented by Wen to the center of power. But this is naive.

Because increased demand for bio fuels leads to cutting down carbon rich forests, a 2008 Science study showed that the net effect of using them is not to cut CO2 emissions, but to double them. The rush towards bio fuels has also strongly contributed to rising food prices, which have tipped another roughly 30 million people into starvation.

This is not really an election about such hotly debated issues as outsourcing, tax increases versus entitlement reforms, government control of production versus unfettered private sector activity, or job creators versus free riders. It is much more about the accompanying concepts of social fairness, entitlement, equality and, yes, standards of behavior for a rich and civilized society.

The more hotly debated program is one in which the NSA maps the origin and destination of US citizens telephone traffic and stores it for possible later inspection (presumably with a court order). This application of technological capacity to store what is called big data raises a new set of issues about intrusion into citizens privacy.

This benefits advertising agencies and the media, but no one else, and surely not the parties themselves, or the viewers who are bombarded with ads, especially if they happen to live in hotly contested swing states. It is difficult to believe that, say, 200 million would not have been enough to inform the electorate adequately of the candidates policies.

Russia worries that its nuclear tipped missiles, based largely in static locations, might be destroyed on the ground by a preemptive strike by long range US missiles, and its retaliatory punch weakened by US ballistic missile defense. Though it can paint no scenario in which this would ever occur, it not only drags its heels on further arms reduction talks, but insists on keeping a thousand or so of its strategic nuclear weapons on launch within minutes alert status.

A country where a majority of the population still consults astrologers can well appreciate a sport in which an ill timed cloudburst, a badly prepared pitch, a lost toss, or the sun in the eyes of a fielder can transform a game s outcome. Even the possibility that five tense, exciting, hotly contested, and occasionally meandering days of cricketing could still end in a draw seems derived from ancient Indian philosophy, which accepts that in life the journey is as important as the destination.
