That does work, but I’d still suggest crimping instead of soldering unless there is a strain relief, and even still. The end of the solder is going to be the likely stress point when there is any flex on the wire. The wire strands will flex better in a crimped connection.

In her vital and evocative history Caliban and the Witch (2004), Marxist feminist scholar Silvia Federici argues that the wave of misogynist violence and witch hunting panic that gripped early modern Europe from the fifteenth to the seventeenth centuries was driven by the need to claim women’s reproductive capacity and sexuality for the state and for capital. In very basic terms, women needed to produce new workers, new slaves. This was a deliberately literal policy in early English America: enslaved women of childbearing age were referred to as “increase” by slave owners because of their potential to increase their owner’s wealth.

Dee opened Fly Thru and clicked off the promotions for Eden and Power Gem. She was still at Level 35 but had earned Spectral status, only six people away from earning Phantom, the next two 150,000 points above. The path was hard at first and she was about to close it when she shot a gap perfectly, and then the next, the third almost too easy, making the screen rotate and the blue shards scatter past. She clicked off the succession of tubes, not even thinking about it, and was promoted to Level 36. Just like that. Her bonus level had doubled; she now had Spectral status. She looked off the screen, thinking she would announce her achievement to Liyuan, but just clicked ahead and went on. She would quit once she reached Level 37, as soon as she did that; she decided that as she curled her feet under her and rested her head against her shoulder. The icons spun and she caught everything but the last and tried again, spreading her elbows, but did worse the next time through.

Property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recorded in the period in which it is determined that the carrying amount is not recoverable based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows. The carrying value of assets used in operations that are not recoverable is reduced to fair value if lower than carrying value. To determine the fair value of these assets, a variety of methodologies can be used including discounted cash flow models. The determination of future cash flows as well as the estimated fair values involves significant estimates on the part of management.
