Why there is no "TO" in "having had nobody stand up for me"
&gt; However, if you exclude the North where slavery was illegal and just look at the states where it was allowed, you have 393,975 people in the southern United States owning 3,950,546 slaves, out of a total non-slave population of 8,280,490. That's 4.8%, or one in twenty. 

So roughly half the southern population consisted of slaves, and while only 4.5% of that population owned slaves, the others gave their tacit approval by continuing to allow and continue that practice. They gave their explicit approval when they went to war in an attempt to maintain the South's ability to own slaves.Could Thor actually pass his mantle?
This is a question regarding the accuracy of Marvel comics' portrayal of the Norse mythological character of Thor as compares to the actual character from Norse mythology. In the Marvel universe, the character of Thor is able to pass his abilities from one person to another via the Mjollnir; whoever can wield the Mjollnir can use the powers of Thor. Furthermore, the name Thor is treated as a title in the Marvel universe; whoever wields the Mjollnir is named "Thor".
To what degree is this portrayal accurate to the Norse mythological source? Are there any indications in the source material that Thor could pass his abilities (via transfer of the Mjollnir or in any other way), and that if he could, is the name "Thor" a title that would pass to that person as the abilities are transferred?
In Norse mythology, Thor is that person's actual name. Mjolnir is a very heavy, powerful hammer, but there is no worthiness enchantment on it. In fact, there's an entire story, the Þrymskviða, about how the chief of the Frost Giants stole Mjolnir from under Thor's bed while he was sleeping, so Thor and Loki have to go get it back, with Thor disguised as Freya to be the bride of Thrym.
Thrym is easily able to handle Mjolnir in the myth, and Loki convinces him to give the hammer to "Freya," which wouldn't be possible if there was some kind of worthiness standard involved.
Now, in mythology, Thor does need special iron gloves called Járngreipr to handle Mjolnir, but there's nothing to indicate a test of worthiness, and I don't think there are any stories about the gloves being lost and rendering Thor hammerless — like his belt which doubles his strength, I think they are just hyperbolically cool attributes.
So far as I recall, the Norse deities have names, not titles, and their powers and titles cannot be handed around. I'm pretty sure it was an invention of Marvel.
Like most pop culture representations of anything, significant liberties have been taken in the Marvel depiction of Thor. In the original Norse mythology, There is no hint that Thor's name or powers could be transferred to another.
Loki Laufeyarson, for mischief's sake, cut off all Sif's hair. But when Thor learned of this, he seized Loki, and would have broken every bone in him, had he not sworn to get the Black Elves to make Sif hair of gold, such that it would grow like other hair.
In other words, Thor's weapons and gear enhances his divine prowess - just as a human with a sword and suit of armour would be. But they are not the source of his strength.
Secondly, Thor is firmly the deity's a personal name in the texts, not a title that to be transferred. We see this from when Mjölnir changed owners in the aftermath of Ragnarök. According to the Gylfaginning, after the twilight of the gods, Thor's sons will inherit Mjölnir from their slain father.
At the ceasing of Thor's strife.
There is no hint here that either were to assume the name Thor - i.e., it's not treated as a title to be inherited or transferred.
Does Thor's strength confer a degree of physical invulnerability?
Water is already a scarce commodity for consumers, especially when it involves access to pure drinking water. This brings much difficulty for the foodservice industry because everything chefs do relies on water to prepare and cook dishes. Whether you’re washing your vegetables or brewing coffee, it’s important to have access to quality water to help create positive customer interactions and a good name for your business. Investing in a reverse osmosis system is a good start to overcoming this challenge.
Going out for a meal has become a luxury. Many individuals who budget for these occasions go out of their way to find a quality dining experience worth their while. Within saying that, the quality of the water you use in your business to prepare and cook a meal can have a major impact on the outcome of the dish. Unpurified water contains a variety of strong minerals, chemicals and contaminants that aren’t always visible to the eye but can certainly be tasted. Any food that is prepared under these circumstances may leave your guests with a distinct, unpleasant taste, even when you have a five-star recipe at hand.
By doing your bit to provide a sustainable solution to the water treatment cycle, you will be able to remove all of the contaminants from the water and be left with a pure, treated end result. Simply by changing the water you use, you will be able to offer your customers a fresh meal that is worth coming back for.
Kitchens undergo regular health and safety checks to ensure that the area in which chefs operate is safe, clean and according to government standards. While you might be going the extra mile to keep your kitchen clean and sanitised, unpurified water does not make this process any easier. You will notice that you struggle to keep appliances clean, leaving minerals and sediment behind on all kinds of appliances and cookware. When you switch to a reverse osmosis system that generates purified water, you will be able to avoid the constant hassle of having to remove these mineral deposits. Employees will also spend less time scrubbing down kitchen equipment, saving on cleaning time and improving efficiency.
If you make use of a steam cooker, kettle or any other piece of equipment that involves steaming, you will quickly see how less calcification is left on your equipment when using purified water. Because of the minerals and chemicals in untreated water, it causes these appliances to discolour and it increases wear. The more the equipment discolours, the less efficient it becomes in delivering the same result.
Often times, business owners refrain from making use of such technical systems because of their lack of knowledge towards the topic. When it comes to reverse osmosis water treatment solutions, you can rest assured knowing that the energy consumption on these systems is lower than that of other filter systems. It is an ideal solution for your business when looking to improve operations and customer satisfaction.
Companies are spending thousands of Rands on bottled water for their customers when you could be offering purified tap water for less. Of course, there will be individuals who prefer to order bottled water as opposed to tap water, but either way, your consumption and order amount will be significantly lessened. Maintenance will be something that you will need to factor into your purchase, however, these systems offer a variety of filter units to keep you going until you schedule a much-needed maintenance check.
The initial thought might be daunting, but the beauty of these systems is that you can purchase a filtering system that is tailored to suit your business needs. If you speak to water treatment specialists, you will be able to discuss your needs with them and they will be able to suggest the perfect system for your business. The investment will be costly in the beginning, but once you’re able to reap the rewards in time, money and food quality, you will understand the importance of quality water in the foodservice industry.I've often been asked why a Festiva? That's easy to answer now after having one or more Festivas in the past ten years or so but got me to thinking of another question... why did I buy my first Festiva?
After more than twenty years with one company that provided a company vehicle I started a new job that had a 50km/30 mile round trip commute so my wife and I decided to pick up second vehicle for me to drive. The main criteria for the purchase where fairly basic: great gas mileage, fun to drive, relatively inexpensive and easy to work on. The first car we picked up was a 2nd generation VW Jetta Carat that had been properly lowered on Tokico coilovers. It turned out that this met the first two criteria but not the third. When we decided to sell that and find something else I remember reading an article in the August 1988 edition of Motor Trend magazine written by Don Fuller featuring an
