	Acceptance
		Acceptance is lack of judgment, and moving into acceptance is the base element of the shift.

	6.2.1. What is Acceptance Sampling?
		Acceptance sampling is an important field of statistical quality control that was popularized by Dodge and Romig and originally applied by the U.S. military to the testing of bullets during World War II.
		Acceptance sampling is "the middle of the road" approach between no inspection and 100% inspection.
		A point to remember is that the main purpose of acceptance sampling is to decide whether or not the lot is likely to be acceptable, not to estimate the quality of the lot.

	Surrender Versus Complience
		Sometimes the necessity for acceptance is bluntly stated, as in Grayson's4 recent article on the role of "acceptance" in physical rehabilitation.
		Acceptance appears to be a state of mind in which the individual accepts rather than rejects or resists: he is able to take things in, to go along with, to cooperate, to be receptive.
		But the halfway surrender and acceptance, serving as it does to quell the fighting temporarily, deceives both the individual and the onlooker, neither of whom is able to detect the unconscious compliance in the reaction of apparent yielding.

	Acceptance
		It does not matter that the would be acceptor has recorded the acceptance in their own records as evidence of an intention to be bound if it was not communicated to the offeror (see also Best’s case (1865) 2 DJ and S 650).
		Whether an acceptance to an agent appointed by the offeror is sufficient will depend on whether the offeror has given authority to the agent to accept on their behalf.
		In this case the acceptance letter never arrived and it was held that “by notice in writing” meant that it would be absurd to apply the postal rule.

	The Pontifications of Maurice Broaddus: Acceptance
		Indifference, resignation, or partial/begruding acceptance is not acceptance.
		I believe that acceptance begins with a thankful embrace of my Self (not in a “swim in Lake Me” sort of way, but in “recognizing who I am and why I am here” sort of way), my Circumstances, and my Neighbor.
		Acceptance comes from a place of love, of realizing that we all have purposes and meaning and then living it out.

	Automate acceptance tests with Selenium (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Acceptance, or functional, testing is designed to put manual tasks through their paces, but testing these tasks by hand can be time consuming and prone to human error.
		Acceptance testing, also known as fl-box and functional testing, is a way of testing and verifying that an application works according to functional, non-functional, and other important stakeholder requirements.
		Acceptance tests can also be written using a programming language, but Selenium and similar tools like Fitnesse also support tests written using a tool-specific document format.

	Acceptance Test
		Acceptance tests are different from UnitTests in that UnitTests are modeled and written by the developer of each class, while the acceptance test is at least modeled and possibly even written by the customer.
		Furthermore, at least in my experience, the acceptance tests tend to be continually negotiated and refined throughout development as requirements (i.e., stories) become clearer and the adequacies/inadequacies of the current acceptance tests are revealed.
		I'm not against acceptance tests but I don't see how you could have a comprehensive acceptance test set for any piece of software that is supposed to deal with people (instead of other programs) and be developed iteratively.

	Self-Discipline: Acceptance (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Acceptance means that you perceive reality accurately and consciously acknowledge what you perceive.
		When I started getting up at 5am consistently, I had already done it several times for a few days in a row, and my normal wake-up time was 6-6:30am, so that next step was challenging but achievable for me partly because I was already within range of it.
		Acceptance helped me tremendously because it showed me that if I fully accepted my reality as it was, I could eventually follow a path to something better, even though it was very distant at the time.

	Anti-Obesity Activists Fight For Fat Acceptance; Here's Where They're Right and Wrong On Issues of Obesity
		On the other side of this war, we have a growing group of people who are fighting against the idea that obesity is a disease, or that obesity has any health risks whatsoever.
		I also think that this anti-obesity movement is going too far with this entire "fat acceptance stance for tolerance." In my view, they're hiding behind a lot of language that is more properly associated with the more legitimate area of racial discrimination or gender discrimination.
		In this country there are genuine problems with discrimination against people based on their gender and their race, and these problems are far more widespread and of a very different nature than discrimination against someone based on their body weight.

	Size Acceptance
		Although public size acceptance has made small steps, it still has a long way to go before overweight people are not discriminated against, made fun of and portrayed as outcasts from society.
		Organizations that fight for size acceptance, individuals who are a part of the campaign and people who speak out for the rights of humans - regardless of size - can help make the much needed transition to a fat accepting society.
		I think self acceptance is something every person should try to achieve, but on their own level, in their own time, in their own way.

		The reality is that most traditional hi-fi equipment has been designed to appeal to male tastes, and consequently, more typically resembles scientific tools and industrial test equipment than your average home furniture.
		But, it seems, the growing pressures of the Wife Acceptance Factor is pushing stereo design in a new direction, and creating a new market in the process, one that seems to be marrying hi-fi performance with interior decorating.
		I hesitate to speculate which of these groups the coiner of wife acceptance factor is a member of, but it's clear the point is that men are generally more interested in high-end electronic gadgetry than women.
