Our clocks and watches turn deasil, and it would seem odd, almost contrary to nature, to have them turn widdershins. We read deasil, and Macaulay's widdershins writing ‘traced from the right on pages white’ was a conscious oddity of priests. Port was circulated deasil; to send it round widdershins was extremely unlucky. Playing cards are dealt deasil; we turn screws deasil. It is possible to trace our right-handedness to the perception of deasil as the normal direction, and widdershins as abnormal, topsy-turvy, unlucky.

And I was dubious because I thought the problem was so huge that no small amount of money that we would put in this bill would lay a glove on the problem.

There is the opportunity for Apple to be level-handed and fair, and there is the chance for them not to be.

A PDE system consisting of the momentum balance, mass balance, and energy balance equations for displacement, capillary pressure, and temperature as a model for unsaturated fluid flow in a porous viscoelastoplastic solid is shown to admit a solution under appropriate assumptions on the constitutive behavior.
