It's a tactic that works only when the ingredients are of the highest possible quality, procured from small farms and artisanal producers, and the technique is simple and flawless.

 Part 1, Gallic Warrior Defies Rome
The Celts had adopted a method of 'hit-and-run' tactics to spoil the advantage given to their very numerous enemies.
Guerilla tactics, resistance and even outright retreat, when outnumbered, gave Caesar the impression the Celts were "cowards"; but nothing could be further from the truth.
The Gauls 'hit-and-run' tactics, and 'treachery', the most commonly leveled accusation, has its roots in the universal Celtic practise of shifting allegiances.

 Science And Politics: Teaching Scientific Method
For all their vaunted scientific objectivity and commitment to the scientific method, real scientists turn out to be depressingly conservative and opposed to theoretical advance.
Trying to place additional burdens on this scientific discipline, insisting it provides answers about origins of life, origins of the Universe, existence of God, and the meaning of it all is a reactionary rhetorical tactic and is unscientific.
Second, the product of many iterations of the application of the scientific method may lead to results that go against the common sense.

 NZPPS paper - Emerging Technologies In Plant Protection - Bioherbicides
The bioherbicide tactic differs from the classical biocontrol method of weed control in which the dissemination and reproduction of the biocontrol agent is left largely up to nature.
Thus the bioherbicide method requires large numbers of viable propagules and a satisfactory method of storing them so that their viability is maintained until they are required for application.
Submerged culture conidial germination and conidiation of the bioherbicide Colletotrichum truncatum are influenced by the amino acid composition of the medium.

Though the sit-down strike is a non-violent method tactic, the men were ready to repel efforts to evict them, and during the forty-one days of their siege, they had fashioned themselves clubs which hung at their belts, and there were boxes of heavy hinges and bolts ready to be used as missiles.
Inasmuch as the sit-down strike has been used as a non-violent tactic to prevent scabs from taking the jobs of the worker, and to prevent the employer from removing the machinery and thus depriving the worker of his right to work and earn a living, we of THE CATHOLIC WORKER have upheld it.
Summary: Supports the sit-down strike as a nonviolent tactic in labor organizing.

 Compleat Sword-Man - Sir William Hope
The use of the "French" style of holding the sword with the thumb extended along the back of the grip, as used by Hope, was advocated by at least one stage back-sword fighter, this method of holding the sword being less well suited to limb-severing cuts.
This latter tactic is even recommended for those using triangular small-sword blades, which will not cut, but may force a parry if a blow is used as a feint.
His liking for the broad-sword developed to such an extent that in the New Method, he abandons the earlier quarte and tierce entirely in favour of a defensive guard in seconde derived from "the common hanging guard of the back-sword".

 Guardian Unlimited Books Review Review: John Clare: A Biography by Jonathan Bate
This has generated what Jonathan Bate carefully calls "the (not entirely accurate) perception that he would be hostile to any editorial approach other than his own method".
Robinson's actions are now being challenged in law, just as his "own method" of editing the poems - which is one "of rigorous fidelity to every particular of the manuscripts" - is being contested by other scholars, Bate among them.
His own tactic is to take nothing for granted, to stay as close as possible to Clare's own intentions, to resist the temptation to read all the poems as being strictly autobiographical, and to admit ignorance where ignorance exists.

I prefer this method to the one where a leader dies on a 9+ but non-leader modifiers dont count, because that method still rewards packing the bad leaders into the army, and one still plays games with not commiting the best leaders.
I also have a problem with the tactic of packing the army with duds to dilute the losses of the better leaders.
If the die roll is less than the battle rating of any leader in that player's force, or a one in any case, then that player must check for leader casualties for his force.

 Brian Romanchuk, Paper Abstract
This general isomorphism is then applied to the problem of approximating the region of attraction of the origin, by the tactic of ensuring that the polytope remains invariant under the flow at all times.
The method uses a convex polytope of a regular form to approximate sets which are invariant under the system dynamics.
It is believed that this method will prove to have algorithmic advantages over finite difference methods.

 Blood doping test cannot be cheated
That is the message sports officials are promoting after US cyclist Tyler Hamilton was nailed by a surprise test for a previously untraceable method of blood doping during the Tour of Spain race last week.
The first tactic cheaters adopted was to give themselves blood transfusions, which pack the blood with extra oxygen-carrying red blood cells.
Sports cheats beware - if you thought your chosen method of blood doping was undetectable, think again.

 Ex America: The 50th Anniversary of The People’s Pottage reviewed by Ryan McMaken
Garrett believed that Roosevelt and the New Dealers had employed this tactic brilliantly, centralizing and seizing power after power, while many of his critics continued to discuss the legal minutiae of a revolution that had passed them by years earlier.
Indeed, Garrett’s method is political economy at its best, recognizing the intimate connection between economic freedom and political freedom — between a free marketplace and free men.
Garrett found numerous examples to illustrate the fearful presence of all of these properties and their destructive effects on the Constitution and the rule of law in general.

 AI Magazine: Automated Deduction Looking Ahead. @ HighBeam Research
We are beginning to see theorem provers that integrate inductive proof techniques, general rewrite procedures, model checking, propositional provers (such as the BDD method considered earlier), linear arithmetic, other decision procedures, tactic facilities, execution capabilities, enhanced static checking, lemma generation, and computer algebra systems.
A theorem prover is used to glue together appropriate routines from a subroutine library by matching specifications of each routine with specifications of the current demands.
The resultant theorem prover works in the first-order logic setting, using resolution, but replaces resolution proofs handling inequalities with a system as capable in most respects as a human in simplifying systems of inequalities.

Formations in football are a method of positioning players on the pitch to allow a team to play according to their pre-set tactics.
Football is in theory a very simple game, as illustrated by Kevin Keegan's famous assertion that his tactics for winning a match were to "score more goals than the opposition." However, the flowing nature of football and the fact that it is a continuous sport (i.e.

 FUD
Thus FUD method #2 is usually disguised by sandwiching it between other FUD methods in hopes that granules of truth ooze out and hide the fact that you're lying, or by application of distraction techniques and techniques of propaganda such as ``leading questions'' or ``the big lie'' in order to bluff your audience.
FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt) is a tactic often used by vendors within a monopoly market in order to propagate their monopoly.
Facts are not always useful in combatting FUD (the whole point of FUD is to convince someone of an opinion contrary to the facts, after all), but using the atom bomb should be a last resort, pulled out after all other possible ways to win the battle have been explored.

 The induced cerebral hemorrhage technique - an infamous international illness/death inducing technique of invisible personnel
Since the ELF wave is the same frequency as human brain waves, the unaware target will believe the implanted thought to be his own and think about it, eventually leading to the target doing something that the invisible personnel wants him to do; this is their mind control method.
This tactic of induced cerebral hemorrhage (to cause death or stroke) has become a notorious illness/death inducing technique of the invisible personnel of Taiwan and many other countries.
To mislead the public to think that cerebral hemorrhage is a naturally-occured disease, invisible personnel would use their weapons (electroshock weapon, or stun stick) on famous elderly people (statesmen or celebrities) who had naturally-developed strokes before.

 Second Coming Ministries Press Release 4 - Seven Tactics of the Heresy Hunters
The heresy hunters have done an excellent job of incorporating this tactic in their attacks on the Word-Faith and others they disagree with.
In other words, the Heresy Hunter uses whatever method he possibly can to prove to his listeners/readers that those whose ministries they wish to destroy are wrong and heretical.
God is fully capable of keeping His church from being "destroyed from within." However, the Heresy Hunter must use such sensational tactics as Christianity being in a "Crisis," or that the Faith Teachers are preaching a "different" gospel, or that we have become a "cancer" or "AIDS" in the body of Christ.

 Hunger strike - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A hunger strike is a method of non-violent resistance in which participants fast as an act of political protest or to achieve a goal such as a policy change.
The tactic was used by Irish republicans from 1917 and subsequently during the Anglo-Irish War in the 1920s, most famously by the Lord Mayor of Cork Terence MacSwiney, who died on hunger strike in Brixton prison in October 1920.
In India, the practice of dharna, a form of hunger strike, was abolished by the government in 1861; this indicates the prevalence of the practice prior to that date, or at least a public awareness of it.
