wikipedia_2018-201 | Many double eagles were struck at San Francisco between 1877 and 1883 . Beginning in 1881 , mintage of double eagles at Philadelphia was sharply curtailed . For the seven years 1881 – 1887 , only 4 @,@ 521 were made at that mint for circulation , none being struck in 1882 , 1883 , and 1887 . They were struck yearly in proof at Philadelphia : the 1883 ( mintage 92 ) , 1884 ( 71 ) and 1887 ( 121 ) are great rarities . The mintage of 2 @,@ 325 at New Orleans in 1879 , the only postwar strikings there , is unexplained — Breen suggested that the local mint superintendent might have anticipated a demand for the denomination . Double eagles were unpopular in commerce in the South , as were eagles . Millions of double eagles were sent to Europe as payment in international transactions beginning in the 1880s , often in cloth bags containing 250 coins , for a total of $ 5 @,@ 000 per bag . | wikipedia-2018 |

The enlarged olfactory region of ankylosaurids indicates a well @-@ developed sense of smell , and the position of the orbits of Ankylosaurus suggest some stereoscopic vision . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-205 | Upon its release , the album met with mixed reviews . At Metacritic it holds an aggregate score of 54 out of 100 points , indicating generally mixed or average reviews . Simon Cage from the Daily Express gave the album three out of five stars and felt that although she " has a winning way with ostentatious hats " , Gaga 's true talent lies in selling the same album over and over again . " It ’ s great but ... enough already ! " Music critic J. D. Considine , while reviewing the album for The Globe and Mail , complimented the piano and voice version of " Poker Face " adding that the latter was " the smartest track on her newest remix album " . He felt that the song " brings out her inner Elton John . And yes , this move , too , is probably just another bit of calculated image management , but that doesn ’ t make it any less brilliant . " Robert Copsey from Digital Spy noted that the release of The Remix was a more natural progression than music labels trying to " cash @-@ in " by releasing something not associated with the artist . He complimented the remixers featured in the album , calling them " as vital to keeping the singer 's music fresh as her Haus Of GaGa designers are to her image . " | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-206 | In an October 2013 SPIN magazine article — a reflection at the ten @-@ year anniversary of Smith 's death — drummer McPherson stated that Smith was " a sick man without his medicine " during the last 31 days of his life , when he was not only sober , but had also given up red meat and sugar . In the same article , Chiba recalls thinking , " Okay , you 're asking a lot of yourself . You 're giving up a lot at once . " Chiba further explained that " anyone who understands drug abuse knows that you use drugs to hide from your past or sedate yourself from strong , overwhelming feelings . So when you 're newly clean and coming off the medications that have been masking all those feelings , that 's when you 're the most vulnerable . " Writing for SPIN , Liam Gowing also encountered a local musician who stated that Smith had said to him : " The people who try to intervene , they 're good people who genuinely care about you . But they don 't know what you 're going through . Do what you need to do . " According to the musician , Smith had adamantly dissuaded him from suicide . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-207 | The South Park creators and animators said they were still developing the characters and trying to figure out the future direction of the show with " Weight Gain 4000 " , which was more slow @-@ paced than the series would eventually become . The 30 @-@ page script was shorter than in later episodes , which would average between 45 to 50 pages . The child protagonists also spoke slower . While recording their voice performances , the actors read the lines slowly and the dialogue was then sped up to create the characters ' distinctive voices . At that time , Parker and Stone had not mastered the pace at which they needed to speak . The crowd shots in " Weight Gain 4000 " took a particularly long time to animate due to the large number of people featured , and the animators were especially proud of the use of depth and motion in the perspective of the crosshairs in Mr. Garrison 's rifle scope as he tried to assassinate Kathie Lee Gifford . Mr. Garrison 's hatred for Gifford was foreshadowed in " Cartman Gets an Anal Probe " , where the sentence " I 'm not positive , but I think Cathy [ sic ] Lee Gifford is much older than she claims to be " , can be seen on his classroom 's chalkboard . During a flashback scene in " Weight Gain 4000 " , an eight @-@ year @-@ old Mr. Garrison is shown to already be bald on top with gray hair on the side of his ears . This led to an inconsistency in the first season episode " Cartman 's Mom is a Dirty Slut " , in which he has a full head of hair during a flashback . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-208 | When players deal enough damage to an enemy , they can activate an execution sequence . Once the execution sequence has been initiated , enemies involved in the execution are highlighted automatically with colors by the game , and players can perform a series of quick time events by pressing the appropriate buttons . These execution sequences serve to grant additional resources to players , depending on how well the execution is performed . At any time prior to initiating an execution , the player can select one of four categories of executions to perform upon weakened enemies ; the selected type of execution determines the type of resource that will be granted when an enemy is executed . Upon completing a successful execution sequence , players are granted the type of execution that was selected . There are four perks available for players . One boosts the player 's damage for a short period after the execution ; one refills the player 's Focus bar ; one allows players to regain lost health , and the last significantly boosts the amount of experience points received from the kill . These experience points can be used to purchase upgrades for various attributes , such as health , damage , or Focus bar capacity , and to unlock additional execution moves . The game still automatically completes and finishes these execution sequences when players fail to press the highlighted buttons , but provides a much smaller reward . Lining up two or more weakened enemies in close proximity allows the player to perform a double execution sequence , which greatly increases the reward granted . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-211 | As a large open space close to the City , Smithfield was a popular place for public gatherings . In 1374 Edward III held a seven @-@ day tournament at Smithfield , for the amusement of his beloved Alice Perrers . Possibly the most famous medieval tournament at Smithfield was that commanded in 1390 by Richard II . Jean Froissart , in his fourth book of Chronicles , reported that sixty knights would come to London to tilt for two days , " accompanied by sixty noble ladies , richly ornamented and dressed " . The tournament was proclaimed by heralds throughout England , Scotland , Hainault , Germany , Flanders and France , so as to rival the jousts given by Charles of France at Paris a few years earlier , upon the arrival of his consort Isabel of Bavaria .

wikipedia_2018-221 | There are six main requirements for tropical cyclogenesis : sufficiently warm sea surface temperatures , atmospheric instability , high humidity in the lower to middle levels of the troposphere , enough Coriolis force to develop a low pressure center , a pre @-@ existing low level focus or disturbance , and low vertical wind shear . While these conditions are necessary for tropical cyclone formation , they do not guarantee that a tropical cyclone will form . Normally , an ocean temperature of 26 @.@ 5 ° C ( 79 @.@ 7 ° F ) spanning through a depth of at least 50 metres ( 160 ft ) is considered the minimum to maintain the special mesocyclone that is the tropical cyclone . These warm waters are needed to maintain the warm core that fuels tropical systems . A minimum distance of 500 km ( 300 mi ) from the equator is normally needed for tropical cyclogenesis . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-222 | The internal anatomy of the passenger pigeon has rarely been described . Robert W. Shufeldt found little to differentiate the bird 's osteology from that of other pigeons when examining a male skeleton in 1914 , but Julian P. Hume noted several distinct features in a more detailed 2015 description . The pigeon had particularly large breast muscles that indicate powerful flight ( musculus pectoralis major for downstroke and the smaller musculus supracoracoideus for upstroke ) . The coracoid bone ( which connects the scapula , furcula , and sternum ) was large relative to the size of the bird , 33 @.@ 4 mm ( 1 @.@ 31 in ) , with straighter shafts and more robust articular ends than in other pigeons . The furcula had a sharper V @-@ shape and was more robust , with expanded articular ends . The scapula was long , straight , and robust , and its distal end was enlarged . The sternum was very large and robust compared to that of other pigeons ; its keel was 25 mm ( 0 @.@ 98 in ) deep . The overlapping uncinate processes , which stiffen the ribcage , were very well developed . The wing bones ( humerus , radius , ulna , carpometacarpus ) were short but robust compared to other pigeons . The leg bones were similar to those of other pigeons . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-223 | As of 2006 , no data was available for the number of women 's football players in the country . In 2006 , there was international uproar when Saudi authorities sought to prevent women from attending a game between the Saudi Arabia national football team and the Sweden national football team .

wikipedia_2018-235 | Overall , the traditional survival horror genre continued to be dominated by Japanese designers and aesthetics . 2002 's Clock Tower 3 eschewed the graphic adventure game formula seen in the original Clock Tower , and embraced full 3D survival horror gameplay . In 2003 , Resident Evil Outbreak introduced a new gameplay element to the genre : online multiplayer and cooperative gameplay . Sony employed Silent Hill director Keiichiro Toyama to develop Siren . The game was released in 2004 , and added unprecedented challenge to the genre by making the player mostly defenseless , thus making it vital to learn the enemy 's patrol routes and hide from them .

wikipedia_2018-240 | The presence of significant amounts of dust around the star implies a young age of the system and led to debate about whether it had joined the main sequence or was still a pre – main sequence star However , when the star 's distance was measured by Hipparcos it was revealed that Beta Pictoris was located further away than previously thought and hence was more luminous than originally believed . Once the Hipparcos results were taken into account , it was found that Beta Pictoris was located close to the zero age main sequence and was not a pre – main sequence star after all . Analysis of Beta Pictoris and other stars within the Beta Pictoris moving group suggests that they are around 12 million years old .

wikipedia_2018-245 | The Confession starts with the doctrine of revelation , or how people can know about God . The divines believed knowledge of God was available to people through nature as well as the Bible , but they also believed that the Bible , or Scripture , is the only way in which people attain saving knowledge of God . The doctrine of Scripture was also a particularly important area of debate at the time . Scholars had begun to argue that the Hebrew vowel points , marks added to the text to aid in pronunciation , of the Old Testament were probably not part of the original . This caused significant debate between Reformed polemicists and Roman Catholics . Catholics argued that such a discovery demonstrated the need for an authoritative magisterium to interpret the Bible as opposed to the Protestant doctrine of <unk> , that the essential teachings of the Bible could be interpreted by anyone . English Reformed writers in particular took up the work of defending the Reformed doctrine . The divines had a strong view of the inspiration of the Bible , and believed that God revealed himself in the propositions found in Scripture . While the issue of biblical inerrancy , the belief that there are no errors in the Bible , did not arise until the eighteenth century , the divines clearly did not believe the Bible to contain any errors . Many of the divines held a rather mechanical view of biblical inspiration , believing that not only the words and ideas but also the letters and vowel points of the Hebrew text were inspired by God . On the other hand , they acknowledged that the text was written by humans in their own styles . They did not make any distinction between essential and incidental matters with respect to biblical inspiration . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-251 | Roman conspiracy : John <unk> accuse Gallienus of the assassination . An interesting passage in the work of the Anonymus post Dionem speaks of a certain " Rufinus " who orchestrated the assassination on his own initiative then explained his act to the emperor who condoned the crime . This story talks about Rufinus ordering the murder of an older Odaenathus out of fear that he would rebel , and has the younger Odaenathus complaining to the emperor . Since the older Odaenathus ( Odaenathus I ) was proved to be a fictional character , the story was neglected by most scholars . However , according to Theodor Mommsen , younger Odaenathus is an oblique reference to Vaballathus ; Rufinus should be identified with Cocceius Rufinus , the Roman governor of Arabia between 261 / 262 . The evidence for a Roman conspiracy is very weak and can not be confirmed . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-252 | Bauer writes that the " clumsiness of the approach has been a wonderment to all observers . " He argues that Eichmann wanted to murder Jews , not sell them , but was forced instead to act as Himmler 's reluctant messenger . On the day Brand left Germany for Istanbul in May 1944 , Eichmann was in Auschwitz checking that it was ready for the trainloads of Jews about to arrive from Hungary . The camp 's commander , Obersturmbannführer Rudolf Höss , said it would be difficult to process such large numbers , whereupon Eichmann ordered that new arrivals be gassed immediately rather than going through " selection . " This does not suggest that he was going to halt the killing until Brand returned from Istanbul . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-256 | The campaign culminating in Kray 's evacuation of Ulm was one of Moreau 's most resounding triumphs . Napoleon Bonaparte had given Moreau specific instructions about the conduct of the campaign , all of which Moreau had ignored . Regardless , their combined efforts damaged Habsburg military operations . In Spring 1800 , while Moreau wrecked Austrian defenses in Germany , Massena and Desaix ran into stiff Austrian offensives in Northern Italy . Napoleon brought in the reserve corps and defeated the Austrians at Marengo . The battle near Höchstädt , five days after the Austrian disaster at Marengo , allowed the French to take Munich . The combined efforts forced the Habsburgs to accept an armistice ended hostilities for the rest of the summer , but the French extracted massive levies on the Bavarians . Despite these significant losses — both of them decisive — the Austrians were reluctant to accept disadvantageous peace terms . In mid @-@ November , the French ended the truce and Moreau inflicted another significant and decisive defeat at Hohenlinden on 3 December 1800 . The subsequent Peace of Lunéville stripped Austria of much of her Italian territories , obliged the Habsburgs to recognize the French satellites in the Low Countries , Switzerland , and northern Italy , and laid the groundwork for the <unk> of the small independent ecclesiastical and secular imperial polities by the duchies of Baden and Württemberg , and the Electorate of Bavaria . | wikipedia-2018 |

One of Melville 's characters asks Bartleby , when imprisoned in the Tombs , if he is a " gentleman forger " like Edwards . The career of Melville 's narrator in " Bartleby " parallels that of Edmonds , who defended Edwards then went on to be the prison inspector at Sing Sing during Edwards ' prison term , and was known for his attempts to improve the treatment of the prisoners . Melville 's narrator also tries to secure better treatment for Bartleby .

wikipedia_2018-260 | The historian Ann Williams has argued that the missionaries ' familiarity with the Roman law , recently codified by the Emperor Justinian in the Corpus Iuris Civilis promulgated in 534 , were an influence on the English kings promulgating their own law codes . Bede specifically calls Æthelberht 's code a " code of law after the Roman manner " . Another influence , also introduced by the missionaries , on the early English law codes was the Old Testament legal codes . Williams sees the issuing of legal codes as not just laws but also as statements of royal authority , showing that the kings were not just warlords but also lawgivers and capable of securing peace and justice in their kingdoms . It has also been suggested that the missionaries contributed to the development of the charter in England , for the earliest surviving charters show not just Celtic and Frankish influences but also Roman touches . Williams argues that it is possible that Augustine introduced the charter into Kent . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-292 | German scholar and folklorist Wilhelm <unk> holds that the log represented an incarnation of the spirit of vegetation . The sacrifices offered to the badnjak were meant to guarantee the fertility of fields , the health and happiness of the family . Its burning symbolized sunshine , and was intended to secure the <unk> power of the sun in the ensuing year . The lighting of the log could be regarded as a fusion of tree worship and fire worship , attested in Slavic customs ; e.g. , <unk> fed the logs lighted on St. John 's Day by sprinkling wheat upon them . Čajkanović characterizes the pre @-@ Christian badnjak as a divinity who dies by burning to be reborn , comparing it in this respect with Attis , Osiris , Adonis , and <unk> . He also proposes that the crosses made from the thicker end of the log may have originated from idols representing deities comparable with the Roman Lares , the cruciform having developed from an anthropomorphic shape of the idols . The badnjak is preferably cut from an oak , which was the most respected tree in the old Slavic religion , associated with the supreme god Perun . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-293 | Mauna Kea has been the site of extensive archaeological research since the 1980s . Approximately 27 percent of the Science Reserve had been surveyed by 2000 , identifying 76 shrines , 4 adze manufacturing workshops , 3 other markers , 1 positively identified burial site , and 4 possible burial sites . By 2009 , the total number of identified sites had risen to 223 , and archaeological research on the volcano 's upper flanks is ongoing . It has been suggested that the shrines , which are arranged around the volcano 's summit along what may be an ancient snow line , are markers for the transition to the sacred part of Mauna Kea . Despite many references to burial around Mauna Kea in Hawaiian oral history , few sites have been confirmed . The lack of shrines or other artifacts on the many cinder cones dotting the volcano may be because they were reserved for burial . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-297 | The earliest research into thinking machines was inspired by a confluence of ideas that became prevalent in the late 30s , 40s and early 50s . Recent research in neurology had shown that the brain was an electrical network of neurons that fired in all @-@ or @-@ nothing pulses . Norbert Wiener 's cybernetics described control and stability in electrical networks . Claude Shannon 's information theory described digital signals ( i.e. , all @-@ or @-@ nothing signals ) . Alan Turing 's theory of computation showed that any form of computation could be described digitally . The close relationship between these ideas suggested that it might be possible to construct an electronic brain . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-298 | The Amak Volcano has erupted three times in historical times : circa <unk> BC , from 1700 – 1710 , and in 1796 ; the first of these events was identified with tephrochronology . Each eruption has been characterized by lava flows , and the two most recent eruptions included a crater eruption . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-299 | In a paper published in 2009 , researchers found that mockingbirds were able to recall an individual human who , earlier in the study , had approached and threatened the mockingbirds ' nest . Researchers had one participant stand near a mockingbird nest and touch it , while others avoided the nest . Later , the mockingbirds recognized the intruder and exhibited defensive behavior , while ignoring the other individuals . | wikipedia-2018 |
