Sullivan later sold WBAZ to Mel Kahn in the late 90's, along with then-sister station WLIE-FM. When Kahn sold WBAZ and sister WBSQ to AAA Entertainment in 2000, the group would soon undergo a realignment given that AAA's WBEA and Kahn's WBSQ were competitors with different varieties of the Hot Adult Contemporary format. With WBEA, then at 104.7 MHz, outperforming WBSQ with a poorer signal, the decision was made to move WBAZ to WBSQ's 102.5 MHz location while |

1748 | "Kragehul I"
Kragehul I Kragehul I (DR 196 U) is a migration period lance-shaft found on Funen, Denmark. It is now in the collection of the National Museum of Denmark, Copenhagen, Denmark. The spear shaft was found in 1877 during the excavation of the classic war booty sacrificial site Kragehul on southern Funen. The site holds five deposits of military equipment from the period 200 to 475 AD. The spear shaft probably belongs to the latest deposit. The Elder Futhark inscription reads: The first part is read as: Interpreted as ""I, the nobleman (erilaz) of Āsugīsalaz, am called Muha, ga-ga-ga!"", where ""ga-ga-ga"" |
1749 | "Kragehul I"
is some sort of ritual chant or battle cry. ""Āsugīsalaz"" contains ""āsu-"", ""god"", and ""gīsalaz"", ""pledge"", and is a personal name. ""Muha"" appears to be a personal name. The runes of ""gagaga"" are displayed as a row of three bindrunes based on the X-shape of the ""g"" rune with sidetwigs attached to its extremities for the ""a"". A similar sequence ""gægogæ"" is found on the Undley bracteate. The ""gagaga"" and the remaining part of the inscriptions have prompted varying and partly fanciful interpretations. Schneider (1969) opts for bull sacrifice, reading ""g-a"" as ""gift, god!"" and the remaining as Düwel (1983) |

Titus Aebutius Elva Titus Aebutius T. f. Elva or Helva was the first member of the patrician ""gens Aebutia"" to obtain the Roman consulship, which he held in 499 BC. The following year, he was ""magister equitum"" under Aulus Postumius Albus at the Battle of Lake Regillus. He was the father of Lucius Aebutius Elva, consul in 463 BC. Aebutius was elected consul for the year 499, with Gaius Veturius Geminus. Livius relates that during their consulship, the town of Fidenae was besieged, Crustumeria was taken, and Praeneste joined the Roman cause. However, there is no report of which actions |
1751 | "Titus Aebutius Elva"
were undertaken by each consul. For some time, the expectation of war between Rome and the Latins had been growing. The year after Aebutius' consulship, Aulus Postumius Albus was chosen as dictator, and as his ""magister equitum"" he nominated Aebutius. They marched into Latium, where they met a Latin army under the command of Octavius Mamilius, the dictator of Tusculum. In the course of the battle, Aebutius and Mamilius, both on horseback, charged at one another and inflicted serious injuries. The Tuscan prince was wounded in the breast, and taken to the rear, while Aebutius' arm was so severely injured |
1752 | "Titus Aebutius Elva"
by Mamilius' lance that he had to withdraw from the fighting, and direct his forces at a distance. The battle ended in a decisive victory for the Romans. Titus Aebutius Elva Titus Aebutius T. f.

1753 | "Keaweʻīkekahialiʻiokamoku"
Keaweʻīkekahialiʻiokamoku Keaweīkekahialiiokamoku (c. 1665 – c. 1725) was the king of Hawaii Island in the late 17th century. He was the great-grandfather of Kamehameha I, the first king of the Kingdom of Hawaii. He was a progenitor of the House of Keawe. He was believed to have lived from 1665 to 1725. He was son of Keakealaniwahine, the ruling Queen of Hawaii and Kanaloa-i-Kaiwilena Kapulehu. He is sometimes referred to as King Keawe II, since prior to him there was already Keawenuiaumi. Keawe was surnamed ""īkekahialiiokamoku"". Keaweīkekahialiiokamoku, a strong leader, ruled over much of the Big Island. He is said |
1754 | "Keaweʻīkekahialiʻiokamoku"
to have been an enterprising and stirring chief, who traveled all over the eight islands, and obtained a reputation for bravery and prudent management of his island. It appears that in some manner he composed the troubles that had disturbed the peace during his mother's time; mainly the conflict between the independent I family of Hilo. It was not by force or by conquest, for in that case, and so near to our times, some traces of it would certainly have been preserved in the legends. He probably accomplished the tranquility of the island through diplomacy, as he himself married |

Lonomaikanaka, the daughter of Ahu-a-ʻI, and he afterwards married his son Kalaninuiomamao to Ahia, the granddaughter of Kuaana-a-ʻI and cousin to Kuahuia's son, Mokulani, and thus by this double marriage securing the peace and allegiance of the Hilo chiefs. The other districts do not seem to have shared in the resistance made by the Hilo chiefs to the authority of the King, at least the name of no district chief of note or influence has been recorded as having been so engaged. He ruled along with his half-sister wife Kalanikauleleiaiwi who inherited their mother kapu rank. After his death, a |
1756 | "Keaweʻīkekahialiʻiokamoku"
civil war broke out over succession between his sons, Keeaumoku and Kalaninuiamamao, and a rival chief known as Alapainui, who was the son of his sister Kalanikauleleiaiwi and another man. Alapainui emerged victorious over the two brothers and their orphan sons (including Kamehameha I's father), who were absorbed into his clan. Hale o Keawe was an ancient Hawaiian heiau originally built as the burial site for Keaweʻīkekahialiʻiokamoku. Today the reconstructed temple is part of the Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park. The House of Kalākaua and the House of Kawānanakoa descend from his eldest son Kalaninuiamamao.

the Sitges Film Festival presenting ""Cronos"" (1993); Bayona there recognized him as a mentor. After their initial conversations, del Toro promised to aid Bayona in the future if he were ever in the position to do so. After graduating from ESCAC he began his career directing commercials and music videos. At the age of 20, he signed his first contract as audiovisual producer for the Spanish band OBK. After three years working with them, he was awarded the Premios Ondas for the music video ""Tú sigue así"". Since then, he has become the principal director of the group Camela and |

1761 | Neuroticism
is not a statistical artifact, but constitutes a biological unit which is inherited as a whole...neurotic predisposition is to a large extent hereditarily determined. In children and adolescents, psychologists speak of temperamental negative affectivity that, during adolescence, develops into the neuroticism personality domain. Mean neuroticism levels change throughout the lifespan as a function of personality maturation and social roles, but also the expression of new genes. Neuroticism in particular was found to decrease as a result of maturity by decreasing through age 40 and then leveling off. Generally speaking, the influence of environments on neuroticism increases over the lifespan, although |
1762 | Neuroticism
people probably select and evoke experiences based on their neuroticism levels. The emergent field of ""imaging genetics,"" which investigates the role of genetic variation in the structure and function of the brain, has studied certain genes suggested to be related to neuroticism, and the one studied so far concerning this topic has been the serotonin transporter-linked promoter region gene known as 5-HTTLPR, which is transcribed into a serotonin transporter that removes serotonin. It has been found that compared to the long (l) variant of 5-HTTLPR, the short (s) variant has reduced promoter activity, and the first study on this subject |
1763 | Neuroticism
has shown that the presence of the s-variant 5-HTTLPR has been found to result in higher amygdala activity from seeing angry or fearful faces while doing a non-emotional task, with further studies confirming that the s-variant 5-HTTLPR result greater amygdala activity in response to negative stimuli, but there have also been null findings. A meta-analysis of 14 studies have shown that this gene has a moderate effect size and accounts for 10% of the phenotypic difference. However, the relationship between brain activity and genetics may not be completely straightforward due to other factors, with suggestions made that cognitive control and |

With this film, Bayona closed his personal trilogy about mother-child relationships. In 2018, Bayona next directed the science fiction sequel """". It became Bayona's first feature film to receive mixed reviews from critics; while the movie was criticized by its writing, Bayona's directing received praise and is one of the most commonly stated positives about the film.

1786 | "Scottish Gaelic medium education"
Scottish Gaelic medium education Gaelic medium education (G.M.E. or GME; ) is a form of education in Scotland that allows pupils to be taught primarily through the medium of Scottish Gaelic, with English being taught as the secondary language. Gaelic medium education is increasingly popular throughout Scotland, and the number of pupils who are in Gaelic medium education has risen from 24 in 1985 (its first year) to 3,892 in 2016. The current figure is the highest number of Gaelic medium Education pupils in Scotland since the 2005 passage of the Gaelic Language (Scotland) Act by the Scottish Parliament. Not |
1787 | "Scottish Gaelic medium education"
included in this figure are university students at , Lews Castle College, or who are taking their degrees through the medium of Gaelic. However, some research has suggested that Gaelic medium education by itself is not enough for full bilingual competency in Gaelic, and it may be the pupils in primary Gaelic education who go on to use the language frequently as adults is limited.. Further qualitative and quantitative research is underway to articulate take up and the impact of changing strategies over time. In 2016, 10,215 pupils in Scotland were receiving some kind of education in Gaelic representing 1.5% |
1788 | "Scottish Gaelic medium education"
of the country's student population. This figure is higher than Scotland's overall proportion of Gaelic speakers which stood at 1.1% in 2011. Nearly 3,900 students in Scotland were enrolled in Gaelic medium education in 2016, a 32% increase in only three years and a 47% increase over 2010 figures. Six council areas had a higher than average enrollment of students in Gaelic Medium Education: Eilean Siar (27.16%); Highland (3.69%); Argyll & Bute (1.80%); Glasgow City (1.18%); Edinburgh City (0.76%); and Stirling (0.61%). Over 6,300 other pupils in Scotland were receiving instruction in Gaelic language courses in 2016. In Eilean Siar, |
1789 | "Scottish Gaelic medium education"
86.19% of all pupils were receiving some form of Gaelic-language education in 2016. In second place was Argyll & Bute at 10.75%, with the Highland council area in third at 7.59%. On the reverse side, sixteen council areas had no students at all receiving any education in Gaelic. There are a handful of dedicated Gaelic medium schools in the country. The largest is Sgoil Ghàidhlig Ghlaschu (Glasgow Gaelic School), established in 2006 and catering to pupils aged three to eighteen, the country's first 3-18 Gaelic medium school. At the beginning of the 2015-16 year the school enrolled 811 pupils and |

The M36 was a development of the M10; it used the same hull and engine, but mounted a larger turret housing a substantially more powerful 90mm gun; in some situations, it was capable of destroying an enemy tank at more than two and a half miles (around 4 km). In early March, the division moved to Saarburg, and began its attack along the Siegfried Line on 13 March. As had become |
