The epithet is a stylistic device based on the interplay of emotive and logical meaning in an attributive word, phrase or even sentence, used to characterise an object and pointing out to the reader, and frequently imposing on him, some of the properties or features of the object with aim of giving an individual perception and evaluation of these features or properties. The epithet is markedly subjective and evaluative. The logical attribute is purely objective, non-evaluating. It is descriptive and indicates an inherent or prominent feature of the thing or phenomenon in question.
Thus in green meadows, white snow, round table and the like, the adjectives are more logical attributes than epithets. They indicate those qualities of the objects which may be regarded as generally recognized. But in wild wind, loud ocean, heart-burning smile, the adjectives do not point to inherent qualities of the objects described. They are subjective evaluative.
Epithets may be classified from different standpoints: semantic and structural. Semantically – divided into associated with the noun following and unassociated with it.
Associated epithets are those which point out to a feature which is essential to the objects they describe: the idea expressed in the epithet is to a certain extent inherent in the concept of the object. For e. g. ‘dark forest’, ‘careful attention’ etc.
Unassociated epithets are attributes used to characterize the object by adding a feature not inherent in it. For e. g. ‘heart-burning smile’, ‘voiceless sands’. The adjectives here impose a property on objects which is fitting only in the given circumstances.
Structurally, epithets can be viewed from the angle of a) composition and b) distribution.
From the point of view of the distribution of the epithets in the sentence, the first model to be pointed out is the string of epithets (a plump, rosy-checked, wholesome, apple-faced, young woman; a well-matched, fairly-balanced, give-and-take couple). The string of epithets gives a many-sided depiction of the object.
It remains only to say that the epithet is direct and straightforward way of showing the author’s attitude towards the things described.
Litotes is a stylistic device consisting of a peculiar use of negative constructions. The negation plus noun or adjective serves to establish a positive feature in a person or thing. This pisitive feature is however is somewhat diminished in quality as compared with a synonymous expression making a straightforward assertion of the positive feature.
In both cases the negative construction is weaker than affirmative one. But we can not say that the two negative constructions produce a lesser effect than the corresponding affirmative ones. Moreover, it should be noted that the negative construction here have a stronger impact on the reader than the affirmative ones. So the negation in litotes should not be regarded as mere denial of the quality mentioned.
The stylistic effect of litotes depends mainly on intonation, on intonation only. If compare two intonation patterns, one which suggests a mere denial (It is not bad as contrary to It is bad) with the other which saggests assertion of a positive quality of the object (It is no bad = it is good) the different will become apparent.
As it see from this e. g. each successive unit is perceived as stronger than the preceding one.
A gradual increase may be maintained in three ways: logical, emotional and quantitative.
Logical climax is base don the relative importance of the component parts look at from the point of view of the concepts embodied in them.
Emotional climax is based on the relative emotional tension produced by words with emotive meaning, as in the first example, with the words “lovely”, “beautiful”, “fair”. Of course, emotional climax based on synonymous strings of words.
Is FICA deduction before or after 401k deductions?
You are required to pay FICA tax on all contributions you make to your 401 (k) plan. However, if your employer makes contributions to your 401 (k), these funds are not subject to FICA tax. FICA taxes are the taxes imposed on your employee income. FICA taxes include the Social Security tax and the Medicare tax.
Does 401k reduce taxable income?
The contributions employees make to their 401 (k) plans while they are working are a tax deduction that reduces taxable income during their working years. The Internal Revenue Service sets a limit on how much you can contribute each year.
Do 401(k) deductions reduce FICA wages?
Your contributions to your 401(k) plan will reduce your income taxes, but won’t serve to reduce your FICA tax obligations. However, when your employer contributes to your plan directly on your behalf, you won’t have to foot the bill for FICA taxes on those particular contributions.
<issue_start><issue_comment>Title: Support fully qualified URIs
username_0: Currently fully qualified HDFS URIs are not supported. E.g:
```
client.ls(['hdfs://nnAddress:nnPort/path'])
```
will result in `org.apache.hadoop.fs.InvalidPathException`, because normalizations that happen [here](https://github.com/spotify/snakebite/blob/master/snakebite/client.py#L1147) and [here](https://github.com/spotify/snakebite/blob/master/snakebite/client.py#L1151) will produce an invalid path like this:
```
/user/someuser/hdfs:/nnAddress:nnPort/path
```

Two seemingly straight-forward solutions to enhance current state would be to:
1. detect fully qualified path early on and throw a more obvious `not supported exception`
2. detect fully qualified path early on and remove the prefix so that **snakebite** can carry on as usual
<issue_comment>username_1: @username_0 thanks for filing issue!

That is the case because in snakebite there's assumption that clients are created per HDFS cluster (HA enabled or not) thus developer provides addresses/ports in CTOR of snakebite client.

Is this assumption a blocker or problem in some case, could you elaborate?
<issue_comment>username_0: @username_1 
I totally agree with the assumption that `clients are created per HDFS cluster (HA enabled or not)`. My issue relates to a situation when a developer passes a full URI of the same cluster for which the client is configured.
<issue_comment>username_2: I'm not sure we want to stimulate this behavior. I think it's the responsibility of the developer to make sure that the input is sanitized. Having snakebite respond to URIs in those calls makes it do magic under the hood. Basically if client.host+client.port are in the URI, snakebite should work, but otherwise it shouldn't. Magic :)<issue_closed>ISpring WGB32B 3-Stage Whole House Water Filtration System w/ 20-Inch Big Blue Sediment and Carbon Block Filters. Filters the incoming water supply for your entire home. Removes up to 95% of sediment, chlorine, rust, pesticides, herbicides, industrial solvents, VOCs, and various other contaminants.  NSF certified high capacity polypropylene sediment filter achieves filtration down to 5 micron. NSF certified CTO Carbon Block filters use high quality coconut shell carbon for maximum filtration efficiency and filter life. 1 input and output ports handle up to 15 gallons per minute. The WGB32B whole house filtration system is the ideal’point of entry’ filtration system for cleaning up water supplies to a home or business on municipal (city) water. Unlike’point of use’ systems (like reverse osmosis systems) that are installed to supply water to a specific faucet, the WGB32B filters your water from the source. This means water from every output in your home or business will have passed through the the three filtration stages of the WGB32B. So what exactly do these three stages of filtration offer? Used as the first stage of defense on the system, the stage 1 housing holds a 5-micron high-capacity polypropylene sediment filter. This filter removes dirt and other various larger sized particles from the water that can clog the following filters. The second and third stages of the WGB32B house 5-micron CTO coconut shell carbon block filters. Block carbon is more effective than other forms of carbon in that it is finely ground up carbon packed into a solidified block. This means they have a higher density than other types of carbon filters, and are therefore more effective in removing their targeted contaminants. The carbon block filters knock out bad smells, tastes and odors, combine to remove over 90% of chlorine from the water, and are highly effective on organic chemicals (VOCs) like pesticides, herbicides, and industrial chemicals. Water Source: Chlorinated or non-chlorinated water supply. Inlet/Outlet: 1.0 inch female NPT. System Capacity: 100,000 Gal. Flow Rate: 3 – 15 GPM. Feed Water pH: 3.0 – 11.0.
