	90 Wn. App. 834, DETENTION OF GAFF
		Gaff argues that prosecutorial misconduct requires reversal, that his commitment constitutes double jeopardy and violates substantive due process and ex post facto laws, and that the court erred by instructing the jury to consider the "feasibility" of treatments less restrictive than secure confinement.
		Gaff argued, however, that the term "feasibility" should not allow the prosecutor to argue that the jury could consider the cost of a less restrictive setting, noting that there was no evidence of cost and that cost of less restrictive treatment was not an appropriate consideration.
		Gaff that makes it more likely--likely he is going to do this again[.]" While the subjective intent of the prosecutor may not have been to effectuate further punishment, there is at least a theoretical possibility the argument would be so heard by the jury.

		The mainsail was lashed onto the boom and the gaff, and hoops were sewn to the section of the luff of the mainsail which slid up and down on the mast.

	Actuation assisting fish gaff - Patent 5832651
		In operation, each gaff fang is rotated into a closed position at the hook end of the handle for engaging a fish when the actuating shaft is pulled outwardly from the interior of the gaff handle.
		Additionally, the construction of the fish gaff of the invention permits the forceful gaffing to occur by a pulling action that is further aided by the pivoting of the gaff fangs against the bearing surface of the handle openings.
		The gaff fangs 24 are preferably curved so that the hook ends 26 of the gaff fangs 24 generally point towards each other in the closed position, as illustrated, and can continue to a crossed position directed back towards the gaff handle 12.

	Dragon operations: hostage rescues in the Congo, 1964-1965
		Nearly all bore the hallmarks of contingency operations: they were emergencies in which the mission, the time and forces available, and the operational area were limited.
		The planning and execution of this mission required the operational cooperation of three nations and their military forces in order to synchronize the arrival of airborne and ground forces to assault a hostile objective.
		Since the operation was a combined operation by a force controlled by two national authorities, the planners had to develop some scheme of command and control palatable to both countries.
