wikipedia_2018-604 | The Diolkos was a trackway paved with hard limestone with parallel grooves running about 1 @.@ 60 metres ( 63 in ) apart . The roadway was 3 @.@ 4 to 6 metres ( 11 to 20 ft ) wide . Since ancient sources tell little about how the ships were hauled across , the mode of ship transport has largely to be reconstructed from the archaeological evidence . The tracks indicate that transport on the Diolkos was done with some sort of wheeled vehicle . Either vessel and cargo were hauled across on separate vehicles , or only the cargo was taken across and reloaded on a different ship at the other side of the Isthmus . Although a technical analysis has shown that the transport of triremes ( 25 t , 35 metres ( 115 ft ) long , 5 metres ( 16 ft ) beam ) , albeit difficult , was technically feasible , it is assumed that the vessels were usually smaller boats rather than ships . To avoid damaging the keel during transport , <unk> , thick ropes running from bow to stern , to reduce sagging and hogging of the hull , must have been used . Ship and cargo were presumably pulled by men and animals with ropes , tackles and possibly also capstans . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-615 | The arrival of a new owner in Lerner and of manager Martin O 'Neill marked the start of a new period of optimism at Villa Park and sweeping changes occurred throughout the club including a new badge , a new kit sponsor and team changes in the summer of 2007 . The first Cup final of the Lerner era came in 2010 when Villa were beaten 2 – 1 in the League Cup Final . Villa made a second trip to Wembley in that season losing 3 – 0 to Chelsea in the FA Cup semifinal . Just five days before the opening day of the 2010 – 11 season , O 'Neill resigned as manager with immediate effect . The club appointed Gérard Houllier as a replacement in September 2010 , but he stepped down on 1 June 2011 due to ill @-@ health . Houllier was replaced by Birmingham City manager Alex McLeish , despite numerous protests from fans against his appointment ; this was the first time that a manager had moved directly from Birmingham to Villa . McLeish 's contract was terminated at the end of the 2011 – 12 season after Villa finished in 16th place , only just above the relegation zone . On 2 July 2012 , Aston Villa confirmed the appointment of former Norwich City manager Paul Lambert as the replacement for McLeish .

wikipedia_2018-616 | After a bloodless skirmish between Serb insurgents and Croatian special police in March , the JNA itself , supported by Serbia and its allies , asked the Federal Presidency to give it wartime authorities and declare a state of emergency . The request was denied on 15 March , and in consequence , Serbia abandoned the goal of a more centralised Yugoslavia for that of the Greater Serbia . The leadership of the JNA , fragmented between supporters of the federal government of Ante Marković and others aligned with Serbia since the breakup of the League of Communists of Yugoslavia in 1990 , came under the control of Serbian President Slobodan Milošević . The control shifted after Milošević publicly declared that he no longer recognized the authority of the Federal Presidency and planned to establish a Serbian army which would draw JNA 's Serbian personnel to the new force . The initial objective of the JNA , that of Yugoslav unity , was either abandoned or sought through support for Milošević . Even though he preferred a campaign to expand Serbia rather than to preserve Yugoslavia , the JNA equated protecting Serbs in Croatia with preservation of Yugoslavia . By summer , Milošević had the JNA under full control through his control of the rump Federal Presidency and his influence over the federal defence minister and top @-@ ranked JNA officer , General of the Army Veljko Kadijević and JNA chief of staff , Colonel General Blagoje Adžić . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-619 | The codex is said to have been found enclosed in a wooden box in a dry cave in the highlands of Chiapas near Tortuguero ; it was said to have been found with a turquoise mask that is now in the collection of Dumbarton Oaks . In 1965 Mexican collector Dr. Josué Sáenz was taken by two men on a light plane to a remote airstrip in the foothills of the Sierra Madre near Tortuguero in Tabasco state ; the compass of the plane was covered with a cloth but Sáenz recognized his approximate location . At the airstrip he was shown the codex along with some other looted Maya artifacts and was told that he could take the items back to Mexico City for authentication before purchasing them . The antiquities expert that Sáenz consulted declared that the artifacts were fakes but Sáenz later purchased the codex and permitted Michael Coe to display the codex at the Grolier Club in 1971 . In 1976 , the United States @-@ Mexico Artifacts Treaty of 1970 was invoked by the Attorney General of Mexico . This resulted in the seizure of the codex and its return to Mexico . Sáenz donated the codex to the Mexican government and it is currently kept in a vault in the Museo Nacional de Antropología in Mexico City and is not on public display . The claimed discovery of the Grolier Codex would make it the only pre @-@ Columbian codex discovered in the course of the 20th century , except for some codex fragments excavated by archaeologists . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-620 | The Charge itself and the tragedy that resulted was blamed on both Lucan and Nolan by William Howard Russell — Nolan , for misunderstanding the order and issuing a confusing message , and Lucan , for not properly keeping an eye on the terrain . Raglan himself primarily blamed Lucan , who was infuriated by this and wrote a letter to Horse Guards Parade disputing Raglan 's claim . This was too much for Viscount Hardinge , the Commander @-@ in @-@ Chief of the Forces , who had Lucan resign his command and return to Britain . With Hardinge unwilling to give him a court martial , Lucan wrote a pamphlet titled A Vindication of the Earl of Lucan from Lord Raglan 's Reflections and a series of letters to The Times that revealed Raglan 's order to have been highly ambiguous and " not the kind of dispatch required by an officer on the battlefield " . At the same time , Nolan 's method of delivery had been imperious , and he had insisted the urgency of the attack - something clear in Raglan 's verbal order to him , but not in the written order . Public opinion became divided ; people both attacked Nolan and rallied to his defence . The major newspapers , at least , maintained that with Nolan 's status as a mere messenger it was inconceivable that he alone could have destroyed the Light Brigade without failings by Lucan . Lord Cardigan defended Nolan by saying the Captain " did not have the least idea of the mistake which was about to be perpetrated . " Within the Crimea , however , the majority " roundly damned " Nolan . The Charge was soon overshadowed by other scandalous and bloody military failures such as the continued failure of the Siege of Sevastopol . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-621 | Early in the second period the Crunch got another power play opportunity when Senators ' captain Drew Bannister took a hooking penalty . The man advantage did not benefit Syracuse as the Senators tied the game 1 – 1 when Martin St. Pierre found an open Josh Hennessy , who put the puck past Kevin Lalande for the shorthanded goal .

But , with just 11 @.@ 7 seconds remaining in the period , Crunch defenseman David <unk> scored the go @-@ ahead goal from the high slot . During the third period the score remained the same , when with just 1 : 30 left in the game Syracuse 's Kevin Harvey took an interference penalty giving the Senators a chance to tie the game on the power play . Binghamton was unable to score in the first minute of the power play and pulled Brodeur to give them the six on four advantage . Even with the two man advantage the Senators failed to post a second goal on Lalande , who stopped 36 of the 37 shots he faced during the game helping the Crunch to the 2 – 1 victory . His performance earned him the first Star of the Game . The game was a penalty @-@ filled affair with 26 infractions called on the two teams and a total of 18 power plays awarded . Neither team was able to capitalize on the opportunities , with Binghamton going 0 – 10 and Syracuse 0 – 8 . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-631 | These military weaknesses have been clearly and definitely revealed since Red China entered upon its undeclared war in Korea . Even under the inhibitions which now restrict the activity of the United Nations forces and the corresponding military advantages which accrue to Red China , it has been shown its complete inability to accomplish by force of arms the conquest of Korea . The enemy , therefore must by now be painfully aware that a decision of the United Nations to depart from its tolerant effort to contain the war to the area of Korea , through an expansion of our military operations to its coastal areas and interior bases , would doom Red China to the risk of imminent military collapse . These basic facts being established , there should be no insuperable difficulty in arriving at decisions on the Korean problem if the issues are resolved on their own merits , without being burdened by extraneous matters not directly related to Korea , such as Formosa or China 's seat in the United Nations . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-638 | After the death of Ravana , Rama advises Vibhishana to take Mandodari as his wife , even though he already has a wife .

Another theory suggests it may be a non @-@ Aryan custom to marry the reigning queen . The marriage between Mandodari and Vibhishana is purely an " act of statesmanship " , rather than a marriage based on their " mutual sexual interference " . Mandodari may have agreed to marry Vibhishana , her younger brother @-@ in @-@ law , as this would lead the kingdom to prosperity and stability as allies of Rama 's Ayodhya , and she would continue to have a say in governance .

wikipedia_2018-643 | " The method of killing homotopy groups " , due to Cartan and Serre ( 1952a , 1952b ) involves repeatedly using the Hurewicz theorem to compute the first non @-@ trivial homotopy group and then killing ( eliminating ) it with a fibration involving an Eilenberg @-@ MacLane space . In principle this gives an effective algorithm for computing all homotopy groups of any finite simply connected simplicial complex , but in practice it is too cumbersome to use for computing anything other than the first few nontrivial homotopy groups as the simplicial complex becomes much more complicated every time one kills a homotopy group . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-644 | Major investment by the Indonesian government to improve East Timor 's infrastructure , and health and education facilities since 1975 , did not end East Timorese resistance to Indonesian rule . Although by the 1980s Fretilin forces had dropped to a few hundred armed men , Fretilin increased its contacts with young Timorese especially in Dili , and an un @-@ armed civil resistance seeking self @-@ determination took shape . Many of those in the protest movements were young children at the time of the invasion and had been educated under the Indonesian system . They resented the repression of Timorese cultural and political life at the expense of the Indonesian , were ambivalent of Indonesian economic development , and spoke Portuguese amongst themselves , stressing their Portuguese heritage . Seeking help from Portugal for self @-@ determination , they considered Indonesia an occupying force . Abroad , Fretilin 's members — most notably former journalist José Ramos @-@ Horta ( later to be Prime Minister and President ) — pushed their cause in diplomatic forums . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-689 | Apoptosis is a controlled process in which the cell 's structural components are destroyed , resulting in death of the cell . Changes associated with apoptosis directly affect the nucleus and its contents , for example , in the condensation of chromatin and the disintegration of the nuclear envelope and lamina . The destruction of the lamin networks is controlled by specialized apoptotic proteases called caspases , which cleave the lamin proteins and , thus , degrade the nucleus ' structural integrity . Lamin cleavage is sometimes used as a laboratory indicator of caspase activity in assays for early apoptotic activity . Cells that express mutant caspase @-@ resistant lamins are deficient in nuclear changes related to apoptosis , suggesting that lamins play a role in initiating the events that lead to apoptotic degradation of the nucleus . Inhibition of lamin assembly itself is an <unk> of apoptosis . | wikipedia-2018 |
