This is great, Andy: Both the tip and the reference to the Forum. I had done this calculation in an Excel spreadsheet where you type a zip code in one box and it then calculates the distance between that zip and every other to make a table, but never knew how to make it dynamic. A big time saver. ReplyDelete.
What is SANCTION? In the original sense of the word, a âsanctionâ is a penalty or punishment provided as a means of enforcing obedience to a law. In jurisprudence, a law is said to have a sanction when there is a state which will intervene if it is disobeyed or disregarded. Therefore international law has no legal sanction.
Sanction has two nearly opposite meanings: to sanction can be to approve of something, but it can also mean to punish, or speak harshly to. Likewise, a sanction can be a punishment or approval. Very confusingââthe person who invented this word should be publicly sanctioned! See if you can guess the meaning of sanction in the following contexts. Before invading Iraq, the US and its allies first imposed sanctions on the country, refusing to supply the country with much-needed trade items.
