Due to uncertainties about how the region 's subtropical ridge would interact with Irene , the models continued to give unclear signals of the storm 's future . Some of the models predicted that Irene would make landfall in North Carolina , while others continued to anticipate that Irene would dissipate . The uncertainty ended when a weakness in the subtropical ridge allowed Irene to turn sharply northward , which caused the storm to pass midway between the Outer Banks of North Carolina and Bermuda on August 15 . Soon after , upper @-@ level shear weakened greatly , and Irene rapidly intensified , first to a hurricane , then to its peak strength as a 105 mph ( 170 km / h ) Category 2 hurricane on the afternoon of August 16 , while located 350 miles ( 560 km ) northeast of Bermuda ; at the same time it also attained minimum pressure of 970 mbar . Though NHC meteorologists thought it was likely that Irene would become a hurricane , they were not expecting an intensification of such a magnitude .

Upon reaching the Washita Agency , he discovered the Confederate commissioners had already signed a preliminary treaty with the tribes .

In 1991 , the amyloid hypothesis postulated that extracellular amyloid beta ( Aβ ) deposits are the fundamental cause of the disease . Support for this postulate comes from the location of the gene for the amyloid precursor protein ( APP ) on chromosome 21 , together with the fact that people with trisomy 21 ( Down Syndrome ) who have an extra gene copy almost universally exhibit at least the earliest symptoms of AD by 40 years of age . Also , a specific isoform of apolipoprotein , APOE4 , is a major genetic risk factor for AD . Whilst apolipoproteins enhance the breakdown of beta amyloid , some isoforms are not very effective at this task ( such as APOE4 ) , leading to excess amyloid buildup in the brain . Further evidence comes from the finding that transgenic mice that express a mutant form of the human APP gene develop fibrillar amyloid plaques and Alzheimer 's @-@ like brain pathology with spatial learning deficits .

The song " Naattiya Kuthirai " was not originally part of the script ; it was added during the final stages of the film 's production . Sundari Bai spent over a month rehearsing the song . The songs " Indrae Enathu Kuthukalam " and " Manamohana Saaranae " were sung by T. R. Rajakumari , while " Aathoram Kodikkalam " and " Naattiya Kuthirai " were sung by M. D. Parthasarathy . J. Cooling Rajaiah played the accordion and piano in the gypsy song of the film . The circus chorus was adapted from " The Donkey Serenade " from Robert Z. Leonard 's The Firefly ( 1937 ) . For the Hindi soundtrack , Vasan offered most of the songs to Uma Devi , who later became popularly known as Tun Tun . She was initially hesitant , feeling that " these were beyond her capabilities " , but she was supported by Rajeswara Rao who " worked hard on her " . The music of Chandralekha helped it to become one of the most successful Indian musical films of the 1940s ; it " created an atmosphere for a number of music directors influenced by Western music " in Tamil cinema . The film was also a major breakthrough in Uma Devi 's career , though by signing it she violated her contract with producer Abdur Rashid Kardar , who terminated her contract in retaliation . This , in addition to the " dwindling fortunes " of the film industry following India 's independence from the British Raj , eventually ended Uma Devi 's career in playback singing .

" Lifeline " first surfaced in February 2007 . Carl Binder wanted to do a heist episode during the off @-@ season , though the writers had no idea where it would fit in the overall season arc . However , as " Adrift " was written , they realized their heist story flowed naturally from it . Even though Martin Wood was credited for directing the episode , Andy Mikita ended up directing most of it instead , as well as directing parts of " Adrift " ; Wood was directing Stargate : Continuum at the time of filming . Amanda Tapping requested that showrunners Mallozzi and Mullie not give her a big part for the episode , as she was in the Arctic filming for Stargate : Continuum . Another reason that Carter 's appearance was small was that Torri Higginson was still a part of the show , and the producers wanted Carter to be introduced slowly . The episode , as a " third part " , was difficult to write , since the second part ( " Adrift " ) is a comeback resolve of the first part ( " First Strike " ) , and the third part has to " resolve the resolve . " In the writing stages , there was also talk as to whether or not to save the experimental hyperdrive jumper . Eventually it was decided that it would be saved , to keep open the possibility of using it again .

In a retrospective interview , Rare designers Jens Restemeier and Nick Burton took interest in the @-@ then upcoming Xbox Live Arcade and offered to develop a new game for the service after the release of Rare 's Xbox 360 launch titles Perfect Dark Zero and Kameo . Rather than simply porting the original ZX Spectrum title to the Xbox 360 , the development team decided to expand Jetpac and experiment with new elements . The team ensured to keep the original core mechanics of the Jetpac whilst designing new features for the game . Restemeier also stated that the development process for an Xbox Live Arcade game differed from a retail title , owing to processing power limitations that had to be constantly synced over Xbox Live . Burton asserted that one of the differences with development on the Xbox Live Service was the way optimisations shifted from graphics and game logic , stating that this was more difficult than it would have been for an Xbox 360 title such as Kameo .

Waters was an aspiring filmmaker , intent on making " the trashiest motion pictures in cinema history " . Many of his friends , a group which came to be known as " the Dreamlanders " ( and who included Divine , Lochary , Mary Vivian Pearce and Mink Stole ) , appeared in some of his low @-@ budget productions , filmed on Sunday afternoons . Following the production of his first short film , Hag in a Black Leather Jacket ( 1964 ) , Waters began production of a second work , Roman Candles ( 1966 ) . This film was influenced by the pop artist Andy Warhol 's Chelsea Girls ( 1966 ) , and consisted of three 8 @-@ millimeter movies played simultaneously side by side . Roman Candles was the first film to star Divine , in this instance in drag as a smoking nun . It featured the Dreamlanders modeling shoplifted clothes and performing various unrelated activities . Being both a short film and of an avant @-@ garde nature , Roman Candles never received widespread distribution , instead holding its premier at the annual Mt . Vernon Flower Mart in Baltimore , which had become popular with " elderly dames , young faggots and hustlers , and of course a whole bunch of hippies " . Waters went on to screen it at several local venues alongside Kenneth Anger 's short film Eaux d 'Artifice ( 1953 ) .

Conceived in the wake of several distressing personal events , West 's fourth studio album , 808s & Heartbreak ( 2008 ) , marked a radical departure from his previous releases , largely abandoning rap and hip hop stylings in favor of a stark electropop sound composed utilizing the Roland TR @-@ 808 drum machine , the Auto @-@ Tune vocal processor , and virtual synthesis technology . The album 's music features austere production and elements such as droning synthesizers , dense drums , lengthy strings , and somber piano , and drew comparisons to the work of 1980s post @-@ punk and new wave groups ; West would confess an affinity with artists such as Joy Division , Gary Numan , TJ Swan and Boy George , and later described 808s as " the first black new wave album . " Maintaining a " minimal but functional " approach towards the album 's studio production , West explored the electronic feel produced by his explicitly Auto @-@ Tuned vocals and manipulated the sounds created by the 808 , modulating its pitch to produce a distorted , electronic sound ; he then sought to juxtapose mechanical sounds with the traditional sounds of taiko drums and choir monks . Rolling Stone journalist Matthew Trammell asserted that the record was ahead of its time and wrote in a 2012 article , " Now that popular music has finally caught up to it , 808s & Heartbreak has revealed itself to be Kanye 's most vulnerable work , and perhaps his most brilliant .

In the United Kingdom at present , the mainstream approach towards representative standing is broad and liberal . The focus is on whether illegality or some other ground of review can be shown , rather than the applicant 's relationship to the illegality complained of . If some unlawfulness can be demonstrated , the courts tend to grant a remedy even where the applicant is not directly affected by the executive decision .

Angelou uses rhyme and repetition throughout all her works , yet rhyme is only found in seven of the poems in Just Give Me a Cool Drink of Water ' fore I Diiie ; critic Lyman B. Hagen calls her use of rhythm " rather ordinary and unimaginative " . Death is an important theme throughout many of Angelou 's works , especially in Caged Bird , which opens with it and , according to scholar Liliane K. Arensberg , is resolved at the book 's end , when her son is born . Death is directly mentioned in 19 of the 38 poems in Diiie . According to scholar Yasmin Y. DeGout , many of the poems in Diiie , along with those in Angelou 's second volume Oh Pray My Wings Are Gonna Fit Me Well , " lack the overt empowerment themes of her later , better known works " , especially And Still I Rise ( 1978 ) and I Shall Not Be Moved ( 1990 ) .

The second episode of the series , Xenosaga Episode II : Jenseits von Gut und Böse , was released in 2004 . Mitsuda did not return to compose the soundtrack ; instead , Yuki Kajiura and Shinji Hosoe were brought into the project . Kajiura had previously composed for a few video games as well as numerous anime soundtracks . Her style for the game 's soundtrack , for which she composed only the numerous cinematic scenes , has been described as " a fusion of electronica and techno with either an orchestra or ethnic instruments , " as well as including vocals in places where many composers would have left an instrumental section . Hosoe composed the music for the playable portions of the game , and feels that that the sound quality and balance of the soundtrack is poor . This feeling is based primarily on the fact that he " slashed the orchestral sound while creating the music " so that the music played using the PlayStation 2 's sound chip would match the music played off of the CD . He had predicted that there would be a fan outcry against " changing composers on a series like Xenosaga " , and suspects that his music from the game will never be released on an album ; to date the released albums for the game include only Kajiura 's work . Kajiura and Hosoe did not collaborate on any of the tracks in Episode II ; according to Kajiura they never even met during the production .

In her 2005 book Gurus in America , author Cynthia Ann Humes comments that although the " public falling out " between the Beatles and Maharishi was widely reported , there has been " little mention " of " the continued positive relationship Maharishi maintained " with Harrison and McCartney . During the 1990s both Harrison and McCartney were so convinced of the Maharishi 's innocence that they offered their apologies . Harrison gave a benefit concert for the Maharishi @-@ associated Natural Law Party in 1992 , and later apologised for the way the Maharishi had been treated by saying , " We were very young " and " It 's probably in the history books that Maharishi ' tried to attack Mia Farrow ' – but it 's bullshit , total bullshit . " Cynthia Lennon wrote in 2006 that she " hated leaving on a note of discord and mistrust , when we had enjoyed so much kindness from the Maharishi " . Asked if he forgave the Beatles , the Maharishi replied , " I could never be upset with angels . " McCartney took his daughter , Stella , to visit the Maharishi in the Netherlands in 2007 , which renewed their friendship .

The battleship 's wounded condition is possibly what saved her : although standard procedure was to steam at 16 kn ( 18 mph ; 30 km / h ) , New York could make only 12 kn ( 14 mph ; 22 km / h ) on her one operable propeller . Due to this , historian Jerry Jones believes that the German U @-@ boat captain misjudged the ship 's speed . With no further damage , however , the battleship was able to safely arrive at drydock in Rosyth . As the water dropped in the drydock , a large dent commensurate with a submarine bow was found in her hull .

In a review of FutureSex / LoveSounds , Ben Williams of New York cited the album 's first five tracks , including " FutureSex / LoveSound " , as updating the early 1980s Minneapolis sound : " tense drum machines , high @-@ pitched synth squiggles and staccato funk bass lines " . While reviewing the album , Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic noted that the first three songs of the album include the word " sex " in their titles , " as if mere repetition of the word will magically conjure a sex vibe , when in truth it has the opposite effect : it makes it seem that Justin is singing about it because he 's not getting it . " Lucy Davies of BBC Music stated that it is initially " difficult to listen to the lyrics of the opening tracks and give an objective opinion " . She wrote that it is like Timberlake is " trying to find redeemable qualities about some guy who has zero social skills and stares at women on his own from the corner of a bar . Only he seems to have found some similarly unreconstructed creepy friends shouting words of encouragement to his clunky chat @-@ up lines , like Timbaland " .

Transport Scotland announced in June 2010 that three consortiums that had submitted expressions of interest in the project were to be invited to participate in a competitive dialogue ; these were BAM UK , IMCD ( Sir Robert McAlpine , Iridium Concesiones de Infraestructuras and Carillion ) and New Borders Railway ( Fluor , Miller and Uberior Infrastructure Investments ) . In mid @-@ November 2010 , the withdrawal of Fluor resulted in the third consortium pulling out of the bidding process . The second consortium withdrew in June 2011 following the decision by Carillion not to continue . This led to the cancellation of the tender procedure by Scottish transport minister Keith Brown . Network Rail was chosen by Transport Scotland to undertake the project and , following months of negotiations , a Transfer of Responsibility was signed at a ceremony held on 6 November 2012 at the Scottish Mining Museum in Newtongrange . Network Rail agreed to build the line by mid @-@ 2015 for £ 294 million , an increase on the estimated £ 230 million that the line was expected to cost and the £ 100 million that it was originally costed at in 2000 . This figure is also substantially more than the £ 189 million which Network Rail Chief Executive Iain Coucher agreed to build the line in late 2007 or early 2008 .

French paleontologist Eric Buffetaut and a Thai colleague , Varavudh Suteethorn , described a partial upper and lower jaw from the Aptian @-@ Albian Khok Kruat Formation of Thailand in 1992 , giving it the name Psittacosaurus sattayaraki . In 2000 , Sereno questioned the validity of this species , citing its eroded and fragmentary nature , and noted an absence of features characteristic of the genus Psittacosaurus . However , in 2002 the original authors published new images of the fossil which seem to show teeth in the lower jaw that exhibit the bulbous vertical ridge characteristic of psittacosaurs . Other authors have also defended its validity , while some continue to regard it as dubious . Sereno ( 2010 ) proposed that the best assignment for the type material may be Ceratopsia incertae sedis .

Lehmann commissioned a coloured dust @-@ jacket painting and black and white internal illustrations from his friend the artist John Minton . Writers including Cyril Ray and John Arlott commented that Minton 's drawings added to the attractions of the book . David , a woman of strong opinions , thought good illustration important . Minton provided 15 decorations to give a feeling of the Mediterranean , rather than simple illustrations of dishes from David 's recipes . For example , his port scene shows a sailor drinking and conversing with a young woman beside a table laden with food ; in the background is a street restaurant and boats in a harbour . Although David did not like Minton 's black and white drawings , she described his jacket design as " stunning " . She was especially taken with " his beautiful Mediterranean bay , his tables spread with white cloths and bright fruit " and the way that " pitchers and jugs and bottles of wine could be seen far down the street .

Most rhyme schemes are described using letters that correspond to sets of rhymes , so if the first , second and fourth lines of a quatrain rhyme with each other and the third line does not rhyme , the quatrain is said to have an " a @-@ a @-@ b @-@ a " rhyme scheme . This rhyme scheme is the one used , for example , in the rubaiyat form . Similarly , an " a @-@ b @-@ b @-@ a " quatrain ( what is known as " enclosed rhyme " ) is used in such forms as the Petrarchan sonnet . Some types of more complicated rhyming schemes have developed names of their own , separate from the " a @-@ b @-@ c " convention , such as the ottava rima and terza rima . The types and use of differing rhyming schemes is discussed further in the main article .

In mammals , norepinephrine is rapidly degraded to various metabolites . The initial step in the breakdown can be catalyzed by either of the enzymes monoamine oxidase ( mainly monoamine oxidase A ) or COMT . From there the breakdown can proceed by a variety of pathways . The principal end products are either Vanillylmandelic acid or a conjugated form of MHPG , both of which are thought to be biologically inactive and are excreted in the urine .

The nostrils are not divided by a septum , but rather are perforate ; from the side one can see through the beak . It undergoes a molt in late winter to early spring . It is a gradual molt , which lasts until early autumn . The immature bird has a gray head with a black beak tip ; the colors change to those of the adult as the bird matures . Captive longevity is not well known . As of 2015 there are two captive birds over 40 years old : the Gabbert Raptor Center on the University of Minnesota campus is home to a turkey vulture named Nero with a confirmed hatch year of 1974 , and another female bird , named Richard , lives at the Lindsay Wildlife Museum in Walnut Creek , CA . Richard hatched in 1974 and arrived at the museum later that year . The oldest wild captured banded bird was 16 years old .

Prouse ( 1979 ) , the Court ruled an officer has made an illegal seizure when he stops an automobile and detains the driver in order to check his driver 's license and the registration of the automobile , unless the officer has articulable and reasonable suspicion that a motorist is unlicensed or that an automobile is not registered , or either the vehicle or an occupant is otherwise subject to seizure for violation of law .

As state superintendent , Paulus helped introduce statewide assessment testing for grades 3 , 5 , 8 , and 11 in 1991 . Other education reforms introduced that year were the Certificate of Initial Mastery ( CIM ) and Certificate of Advanced Mastery ( CAM ) that were designed to replace the high school diploma in Oregon . These were optional programs which were part of a broader program that included issuing a report card outlining the progress as a state , as required by a law the state legislature passed in 1991 . Paulus also supported school to work initiatives for reforming public education while in office , which were part of the 1991 reforms . At the time Paulus was one of only ten women in the nation to hold the top education position in their state . She left the office on January 4 , 1999 , after two terms . In 2007 , the Oregon Legislature eliminated the optional certificates from schools in the state .

President Reagan professed that he was unaware of the plot 's existence . He opened his own investigation and appointed two Republicans and one Democrat ( John Tower , Brent Scowcroft and Edmund Muskie , known as the " Tower Commission " ) to investigate the scandal . The commission could not find direct evidence that Reagan had prior knowledge of the program , but criticized him heavily for his disengagement from managing his staff , making the diversion of funds possible . A separate report by Congress concluded that " If the president did not know what his national security advisers were doing , he should have . " Reagan 's popularity declined from 67 % to 46 % in less than a week , the greatest and quickest decline ever for a president . The scandal resulted in fourteen indictments within Reagan 's staff , and eleven convictions .

In June 2012 , Dunderdale 's government brought forth controversial legislation , known as Bill 29 , that reformed the province 's Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act . The amendments to the act expanded the government 's ability to deny access to information by keeping ministerial briefings secret , ignoring requests for information that cabinet ministers deem to be " frivolous , " and barring the auditor general from a wider array of records . Deadlines to respond to requests were pushed back , and fees were increased from $ 15 to $ 25 . The opposition leaders immediately condemned the bill and said they would team up to filibuster the bill . An expert on international access @-@ to @-@ information laws , Toby Mendel , called key changes to the act “ breathtaking , ” and said the province will rank lower than some third world countries with the new legislation . As well 75 people also assembled outside the Confederation Building to protest the bill . However , Newfoundland and Labrador 's information commissioner , Ed Ring , said bill 29 was not a bad thing and that it would not stop the Access to the Information and Protection of Privacy Act from doing its job . Bill 29 led to a four @-@ day filibuster in the House of Assembly , which eventually ended when the government invoked closure to the debate . NDP leader Lorraine Michael 's accusation that the government was being racist , when referring to Mendel 's criticism of the bill , was cited by the government as reasons to end debate .

Although the military victory of the absolutist city authorities was complete , the war had also shown them that they depended very much on their rural subjects . Soon after the war , the ruling aristocrats instituted a series of reforms and even lowered some taxes , thus fulfilling some of the peasants ' original fiscal demands . In the long term , the peasant war of 1653 prevented Switzerland from an excessive implementation of absolutism as occurred in France during the reign of Louis XIV .

It had also been agreed at the time of the Unknown Soldier 's repatriation that no award or decoration would be bestowed on the remains . No decision was taken about the awarding of the Canadian Victoria Cross to the Canadian Unknown Soldier .

The 12 1 ⁄ 2 @-@ mile ( 20 @.@ 1 km ) extension of the Great North to Keith was opened on 10 October 1856 , with two intermediate stations at Rothiemay and Grange . Initially five services a day ran between Aberdeen and Keith , taking between 2 hours 40 minutes and 3 hours 5 minutes , although the number of services was later reduced to four . The route between Nairn and Keith authorised on 21 July 1856 required less earthwork , reducing cost , but had steeper gradients than had originally been proposed , and the Great North contributed £ 40 @,@ 000 towards a bridge over the Spey . The line reached Dalvey ( near Forres ) in 1857 , and Keith on 18 August 1858 .

In the final scene of Act I , Nellie rejects Emile because of his part @-@ Polynesian children . In so doing , Nellie fails to live up to the American ideal that " all men are created equal " , which Emile had earlier affirmed . This scene was also toned down by Hammerstein ; in early drafts , Nellie , initially unable to force out a word to describe Emile 's first wife , after he supplies the word " Polynesian " , responds with " colored " . This pronouncement , which makes Nellie less sympathetic as a character , was restored for the 2008 Lincoln Center production . As Frank Rich of The New York Times commented , " it 's upsetting because Nellie isn 't some cracker stereotype – she 's lovable ... But how can we love a racist ? " Most argues that even Emile is tainted by racism , as his lifestyle is dependent on the maintenance of a system whereby he benefits from underpaid native labor – Bloody Mary is able to attract workers to make grass skirts for sale to GIs because , as she puts it , " French planters stingy bastards !

The principal façade is the great south front , a two @-@ storey colonnade of Corinthian columns superimposed on Tuscan , the whole surmounted by a central pediment . The columns are not stone , but wood coated in stucco . This is particularly interesting , as cost was no object in the house 's construction . The architect for this elevation was John Donowell , who executed the work between 1761 and 1763 ( although he had to wait until 1775 for payment ) . The façade , which has similarities to the main façade of Palladio 's Palazzo Chiericati of 1550 , was originally the entrance front . The front door is still in the centre of the ground floor leading into the main entry hall . This in itself is a substantial deviation from the classical form : West Wycombe does not have a first floor piano nobile : had the architect truly followed Palladio 's ideals , the main entrance and principal rooms would have been on the first floor reached by an outer staircase , giving the main reception rooms elevated views , and allowing the ground floor to be given over to service rooms .

The plumage of the cockatoos is less brightly coloured than that of the other parrots , with species generally being either black , grey or white . Many species have smaller areas of colour on their plumage , often yellow , pink and red , usually on the crest or tail . The galah and Major Mitchell 's cockatoo are more broadly coloured in pink tones . Several species have a brightly coloured bare area around the eye and face known as a periophthalmic ring ; the large red patch of bare skin of the palm cockatoo is the most extensive and covers some of the face , while it is more restricted in some other species of white cockatoo , notably the corellas and blue @-@ eyed cockatoo . The plumage of males and females is similar in most species . The plumage of the female cockatiel is duller than the male , but the most marked sexual dimorphism occurs in the gang @-@ gang cockatoo and the two species of black cockatoos in the subgenus Calyptorhynchus , namely the red @-@ tailed and glossy black cockatoos . The iris colour differs in a few species , being pink or red in the female galah and Major Mitchell 's cockatoo and red @-@ brown in some other female white cockatoo species . The males all have dark brown irises .
