So many of its flights made U-turns after take-off that the slogan had to go.In Africa air travel used to involve habitual overbooking (flights in Nigeria in the 1970s started with a wild dash from the terminal to the plane, in the belief that the airline's motto was "To the swiftest the seats") and frequent overflying ("Sorry, sir, the pilot decided not to land. The next flight will be next week").
Previous studies on these data showed that the average measured route fidelity of the birds in this study increases with release number [ 5, 12] (and see the electronic supplementary material, figure S1), demonstrating the increasing dependence of the flight paths upon habitual route memories.
When we feel unsafe our reptilian brain is activated, engaging its habitual and typical defense routine of freeze, fight or flight.
Habitual misery-monger Iñárritu lightens up for once – so much so the camera takes flight, whisking us through this backstage tragicomedy in one apparently continuous take.
We examined the relationship between individual birds' performance during solo flights—in terms of the accuracy with which they recapitulated their established habitual routes during the final stages of training and their propensity to emerge as 'winners' of pairwise interactions.
To characterize the level of variability in a bird's habitual route, we first constructed a mean path based on the individual's final five solo flights during the training phase, then calculated the variance of the same five paths around every point of the mean trajectory.
Nor should it: closer inspection of Bird's personality and habits suggests an insecure, prickly man who drank too much, couldn't stand being teased – he was taken off a long-haul flight in February this year after drinking too much and abusing airline staff – and, most important of all, was a habitual sexual predator.
This from the NCAA men's basketball rulebook, over 100 pages long: "Continuous motion applies to a try for field goal or free throw, but shall have no significance unless there is a foul by the defense during the interval that begins when the habitual throwing movement starts a try or with the touching on a tap and ends when the ball is clearly in flight".
Not the habitual shopper.
