 Magnum Force - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Magnum Force was the first of the sequels to the film Dirty Harry starring Clint Eastwood as maverick cop Harry Callahan.

One of the motorcycle cops is later revealed to be a former Special Forces operative (possibly a Vietnam veteran - the first three Dirty Harry films had references to Vietnam veterans).

 .357 Magnum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The.357 Magnum was designed for hunting, but was quickly adopted by police, who sought a cartridge with increased effectiveness against criminals in automobiles, and for self-defense use.
Based upon their earlier.38 Special revolver cartridge, the.357 Magnum cartridge was introduced in 1934 and its use has since become widespread.
The very beautiful 38/44 "Heavy Duty" revolver made by Smith and Wesson was one of these, and it still was made until 1964 or so when it faded into extinction in face of competition from the.357 Magnum which finally bested it in sales.

 .357 SIG - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Another disadvantage is that because the 357 SIG uses a.355 bullet at higher velocities than other 9 mm cartridges, very few bullets have been specially designed for it, and the.357 Magnum bullets that are designed for the same velocity range cannot be used due to their diameter.
The 357 SIG is a good police cartridge; however, it does not quite reach the performance of the venerable.357 Magnum with heavier loads (over 125 gr.) or even with typical commercial loadings in 125 gr.
Since the 357 SIG uses a standard Luger bullet, downloading it to this point would defeat the purpose of having the SIG cartridge in the first place, at least in terms of stopping power, as recoil AND ballistics would be identical to the lesser Parabellum cartridge.

 Foramen magnum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In anatomy, the foramen magum is the large hole through the occipital bone in the base of the skull, through which the medulla oblongata (an extension of the spinal cord) exits the skull vault.
Comparisons of the position of the foramen magum in early hominid species are useful to determine how comfortable a particular species was when walking on two limbs (bipedality) rather than four.
In humans the foramen magum is farther underneath the head than in great apes.

The curved, expanded plate behind the foramen magnum is named the squama; the thick, somewhat quadrilateral piece in front of the foramen is called the basilar part, whilst on either side of the foramen is the lateral portion.
From the external occipital protuberance a ridge or crest, the median nuchal line, often faintly marked, descends to the foramen magnum, and affords attachment to the ligamentum nuchæ; running from the middle of this line across either half of the nuchal plane is the inferior nuchal line.
The lower division of the cruciate eminence is prominent, and is named the internal occipital crest; it bifurcates near the foramen magnum and gives attachment to the falx cerebelli; in the attached margin of this falx is the occipital sinus, which is sometimes duplicated.

 Magnum Force by Peter Howe - The Digital Journalist
Of course Magnum Stories is an historical document, but not just the history of the events that took place in the last half of the 20th century, and those that we face at the beginning of the 21st.
When Magnum's photographers succeed they succeed magnificently, and when they lose their way they do it, if not magnificently, at least with a grandeur that one has to admire.
The theme of the book is that the term "photo story" has always been a core element of Magnum's existence, both as taxonomy and philosophy.

They occur in 68 to 98% of all meningiomas of the foramen magnum[10,15,17,26,30,31,35] and should be clearly distinguished from meningiomas of the dorsal (posterior) foramen magnum because of the remarkable differences in presenting symptoms, neurological findings, operative approach, postoperative results, complications, and mortality rate.
Meningiomas of the ventral foramen magnum are one of the most challenging types of meningiomas to treat because a large number of vital neurovascular structures, which are sensitive to injury, are crowded in this deeply hidden central area.
Eighteen patients with meningioma of the ventral foramen magnum were treated surgically in three neurosurgical departments at the University of Mississippi Medical Center (1990), Loyola University Medical Center (1991--1993), and the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (1993--1998).

 Winchester Magnum
Winchester Magnum refers to a "family" of cartridges developed by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company [1], one of the oldest firearms manufacturers in the United States, in the late 1950's and early 1960's, all based on the same basic cartridge case.
The cartridges in this family are, in the order of development:.458 Winchester Magnum (1956) -.458 in.

We have evaluated 28 patients with symptoms consistent with compression of the neuraxis at the foramen magnum and in whom the MRI scan was either reported as normal or showed a degree of tonsillar ectopia insufficient to meet the diagnostic criteria for the Chiari type1 malformation.
For the purpose of determining the position of the cerebellar tonsils the lower lip of the foramen magnum was defined as extending from the lowest cortical bone of the clivus anteriorly (basion) to the lowest cortical bone at the opistion posteriorly on the mid-sagittal MRI image(3,6).

In each case the patency of the foramen was confirmed with a probe and measurements in relation to the posterior margin of the foramen magnum and from the median plane were measured by millimeter scale.
We have examined 150 dry adult human skulls to identify the positions of the emissary foramen in the squamous part of the occipital bone either left or right side of the median plane, in the median plane from the posterior margin of the foramen magnum to the occipital protuberance.
This foramen is present in the squamous part of the occipital bone at the occipital protuberance and it transmits a vein that connects the confluence of the sinuses with the veins of the suboccipital plexus and receiving also the occipital diploic vein.
