Ex. If we take Cindi, Albert will almost surely grieve.

Ex. For example, a computer on board a space ship, o even in some cars, takes in data, works out settings, displays results completely automatically.

Ex. Peter Jackaman fears 'that public libraries have failed to grasp the opportunity which this development offered, and as result their potential role has, in many cases, been usurped by other agencies'.

Ex. The data is pulled directly from all the bibliographic data bases on DIALOG that have a JN field.

Ex. One of its main advantages is the potential to pull off descriptive entries onto disc to create annotated booklists.

Ex. If I decide to spring for this I'll let you in on what I find out.

Ex. One day she indulged in her habit of swigging too much gin before going to feed the porker and after opening its pen she slumped in a heap.
