The Kindle pronounces "Celtics" with an initial hard "c".
Those unrelenting hard c's in the fourth line, ticking away the last hours of Hans's life, are as chill and hard as ice, cruelly mocking any pretense that either prettiness or pleasure can save us from death.
Another piece of advice: To help the puppy distinguish its name from ambient noise, choose something with a sibilant consonant or blend (an "s," "sh" or "zh") or, better still, a crisp, commanding consonant (a "k" or hard "c").
In this early period, there were many unhappy meetings with casting directors, a tribe who typically struggled with the hard C in Murphy's first name and sometimes cut him off mid-audition, mid-sentence even: "Thanks, Silly-an, you can go now".
His sound effects are exquisite: the clusters of consonants (hard "c s, then "b"s and "p"s) and the vowels so open you could fall into them, the magisterial cresting syntax, the brilliant coupling of unlike words ("iceberg-Golgotha"). Occasionally, a severe misstep ("boning burlesque in the bower") undermines, by its clumsiness, the classicism that surrounds it.
This parameter was used to examine the behaviour of four carbon film/substrate systems: hard C film on silicon, hard C film on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate, soft C film on silicon and soft C film on PET.
The results indicate that fuzzy c-means does not seem to offer any advantage over hard c-means.
They are termed "hard C" and "soft C" according to their synthesis process, sputtering and PACVD respectively.
Recent studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of hard c-means (k-means) clustering algorithm in this domain.
