It involves two children, Judy and Nicky, and their dog Jokey, who are stranded on Rockall, an extremely small, uninhabited, remote rocky islet in the North Atlantic Ocean. They find that it is hollow and inhabited by a mysterious person who aims to take over the world. Rockall actually exists, though the persons depicted in the book are entirely fictional.

Grover Maxwell called attention on an important class of metaphysical statements such as "All men are mortal".[24] This is not falsifiable, because it does not matter how old is a man, maybe it will die next year.[25]

The game takes place in the students' home. The player can choose to play as either Mike, Neil, Vyvyan or Rick to explore the house and enter different rooms. The other characters become computer-controlled players. All characters can move around the house, pick up and drop objects, as well as break and fix things. The characters often talk, giving the player clues as to what the character is intended to do. The aim of the game is to try and move out of the house with all the character's belongings in the shortest time possible. This is not so easy, because these possessions are typically not in their preferred condition, or are hidden around the house, and players need various tools to get to them. The other characters will move around the house, behaving in-character, occasionally moving around or further damaging the possessions - making the task harder.

Starting with a .220 Russian case to be turned into a blank cartridge for fireforming. First the case is lubricated and full length sized in a 6PPC die with the expander button removed (since the die will not fit otherwise). A small pistol primer is then inserted into the case to be converted. (While the small pistol primer has the same size as small rifle primer, they have different pressure ratings). A very large quantity of fast burning pistol propellant is then added to the case. It is of very high importance that the propellant is of a fast burning type. For this cartridge, some have reported 16 grains (1.04 g) of Bullseye® powder working well.[citation needed] Some paraffin wax is then melted into the lid of a jar or something similar, and when it solidifies, the lid is turned over, pressing it over the neck of the now loaded blank cartridge, making a seal that will both keep the propellant in the case and provide a very modest resistance to the propellant when it is fired. The case is then generously lubricated with a high quality case sizing lubricant, of which Imperial Sizing Die Wax is a popular variant.[citation needed] The cartridge is then placed into the rifle and fired to get what is called a "fireformed case". Fireforming in general gives a very large muzzle blast. As overheating can shorten the life of the barrel, many will take short breaks between when several cases are to be fireformed. Some check this by carefully touching the barrel, and will take a pause if the barrel is to too hot to be held. After the fireforming is finished it is normal to thoroughly clean the chamber to remove any traces of lubricant, as lubricant in the chamber can increase the force on the bolt when firing live ammunition. The fireformed brass is then cleaned, especially around the neck (inside and outside) to remove lubricant and powder residue. The cases are then run through a 6 mm neck expander, which will be slightly oversized. Then the length is often trimmed to 1.486 inches (37.7 mm), although this step is not always necessary. Necks are then chamfered inside and outside. Afterwards the neck is turned to a thickness that will allow, at bare minimum, 0.001 inches (0.025 mm) total clearance in the chamber for the loaded round[citation needed] (it helps to keep the neck turner in a pocket when not actually in use so that its temperature does not vary over the process; otherwise one can get considerable changes in the neck thickness due to heating and cooling of the "neck turner". Remember that we are working in increments of 0.0001 inches (0.0025 mm) - when one does the calculations, it is truly impressive how the dimensions of the neck turner can change over a 10 degree Celsius (21 degree Fahrenheit) range. The turner mandrel usually has to be lubricated between each case with a high quality lubricant. It is important when turning the necks to run the neck turner into the shoulder of the case a wee bit; if this is not done, one will experience the "Dreaded Doughnut" at the juncture of the neck to the rest of the case after the case is fired, and bullet seating can get very difficult. (Further, with a "doughnut", a loaded round with the projectile seated below doughnut can be larger in diameter than the chamber neck.) The case is once again lubricated, and then run through a 6PPC full length sizing die with the expander ball in place. Primer is decapped, primer pocket cleaned and case lube removed, resulting in a case ready for ordinary loading.

The 2017 novel Star Wars: Leia, Princess of Alderaan originally used the phrase "Strength through joy" as an Alderaanian proverb. The resulting controversy on social media led to an apology from Disney-Lucasfilm Press and author Claudia Gray, stating that they had not been aware of the phrase's real-world history before publication. Subsequent editions changed the proverb to "Joy drives out fear."

Some animals that are hunted by humans eventually adapt and befriend a human that feeds them and shows kindness to them, as is the case with cottontail rabbits. A human is not going to make friends with a quail, except in the rare circumstance when a baby chick is abandoned, and a human claims it as a pet, feeds it, and brings it to adulthood. Even then, the relationship is short lived as soon as the quail is released back into the wild.
