wikipedia_2018-810 | The Metacomet Ridge is the result of continental rifting processes that took place 200 million years ago during the Triassic and Jurassic periods . The basalt ( also called traprock ) crest of the Metacomet Ridge is the product of a series of massive lava flows hundreds of feet thick that welled up in faults created by the rifting apart of the North American continent from Eurasia and Africa . Essentially , the area now occupied by the Metacomet Ridge is a prehistoric rift valley which was once a branch of ( or a parallel of ) the major rift to the east that became the Atlantic Ocean . | wikipedia-2018 |

In 1955 , VAT bought two batches of 6 @-@ cylinder 90 @-@ hp Leyland 0 @.@ 350 diesel engines .

wikipedia_2018-824 | Su Song also created a celestial atlas ( in five separate maps ) , which had the hour circles between the <unk> ( lunar mansions ) forming the astronomical meridians , with stars marked in an equidistant cylindrical projection on each side of the equator , and thus , was in accordance to their north polar distances . Furthermore , Su Song must have taken advantage of the astronomical findings of his political rival and contemporary astronomer Shen Kuo . This is so because Su Song 's fourth star map places the position of the pole star halfway between Tian shu ( − 350 degrees ) and the current Polaris ; this was the more accurate calculation ( by 3 degrees ) that Shen Kuo had made when he observed the pole star over a period of three months with his width @-@ improved sighting tube . There were many star maps written before Song 's book , but the greatest significance of these star maps by Su Song is , that they represent the oldest extant star maps in printed form . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-829 | There has been raised criticism against several fundamental shortcomings in the network system . The most fundamental is the lack of indoor coverage . This has in part been reversed by increasing the signal strength in urban areas and installing repeaters at for instance medical clinics , Oslo Courthouse and Oslo Airport , Gardermoen . Another major shortcoming is that the system does not support any transmission of data . For instance police scanning of fingerprints , sending of blueprints to firefighters and paramedics sending video from an accident for analysis by physicians have been mentioned as technology which could be used if only the radio system allowed for transmission of data . Other shortcomings are that the location of base stations are publicly know , allowing for easy sabotage , and increased investment costs because of the choice of the proprietary TEDS instead of the open <unk> system . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-831 | According to Rikky Rooksby , author of The Complete Guide to the Music of Madonna , " Improvements in studio technology meant that possibilities for shaping the sound after it has been recorded are almost limitless . " Such possibility were applied in the song composition and the remixes present in You Can Dance . Previously to change the sound of an instrument , or to jump from one sound to another , recordings used to stop playing the instrument and the drums at that point . But for the remixes on You Can Dance , the fade engineering technology was applied to the songs , wherein the <unk> was simply pulled down , and was pushed up again when the sound of the instruments were made to come up to the surface . The first song on the album is " Spotlight " which begins with the sound of drums , bass synths and handclaps , followed by Madonna uttering the words " Spotlight , shine bright " . After the first verse , the sound of keyboard is heard during the chorus . It continues like this through the second verse , which is followed by an interlude featuring vocal echoes , a piano segment and violin phrases . Madonna follows the music played by the piano and utters the words " Pa @-@ da @-@ pa @-@ da @-@ pappa pappa pa pa " in the same melody . The lyrics deal with Madonna making the listener remember that " everybody is a star " and that if one wants to be famous and be under the " spotlight " , the person should sing about it and reality may catch up with him or her . According to the sheet music published at <unk> , the song is set in the time signature of common time , with a tempo of 100 beats per minute . It is set in the key of F major with Madonna 's voice spanning from the notes of C5 to B ♭ 5 . " Spotlight " has a basic sequence of Am – C – Am – C – G – F as its chord progression . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-836 | The composer Sergei Rachmaninoff produced a number of solo piano pieces that were either lost , unpublished , or not assigned an opus number . While often disregarded in the concert repertoire , they are nevertheless part of his oeuvre . He composed sixteen such pieces , and all others are lost . Ten of these pieces were composed before he completed his Piano Concerto No. 1 , his first opus , and the rest interspersed throughout his later life . In these casual works , he draws upon the influence of other composers , including Frédéric Chopin and Pyotr Tchaikovsky . The more substantial works , the Three Nocturnes and Four Pieces , are sets of well @-@ thought out pieces that are his first attempts at cohesive structure among multiple pieces . Oriental Sketch and Prelude in D minor , two pieces he composed very late in his life , are short works that exemplify his style as a mature composer . Whether completed as a child or adult , these pieces cover a wide spectrum of forms while maintaining his characteristic Russian style . | wikipedia-2018 |

Several minor leagues were not subject to the draft ; Landis fought for the inclusion of these leagues , feeling that the non @-@ draft leagues could prevent players from advancing as they became more skilled .

wikipedia_2018-882 | Once sentenced , malefactors were usually held in prison for a few days before being taken to the place of execution . During the early Middle Ages this journey may have been made tied directly to the back of a horse , but it subsequently became customary to be fastened instead to a wicker hurdle , or wooden panel , itself tied to the horse . Historian Frederic William Maitland thought that this was probably to " [ secure ] for the hangman a yet living body " . The use of the word drawn , as in " to draw " , has caused a degree of confusion . One of the Oxford English Dictionary 's definitions of draw is " to draw out the viscera or intestines of ; to disembowel ( a fowl , etc. before cooking , a traitor or other criminal after hanging ) " , but this is followed by " in many cases of executions it is uncertain whether this , or sense 4 [ To drag ( a criminal ) at a horse 's tail , or on a hurdle or the like , to the place of execution ; formerly a legal punishment of high treason ] , is meant . The presumption is that where drawn is mentioned after hanged , the sense is as here . " Historian Ram Sharan Sharma arrived at the same conclusion : " Where , as in the popular hung , drawn and quartered [ use ] ( meaning facetiously , of a person , completely disposed of ) , drawn follows hanged or hung , it is to be referred to as the disembowelling of the traitor . " The historian and author Ian Mortimer disagrees . In an essay published on his website , he writes that the separate mention of evisceration is a relatively modern device , and that while it certainly took place on many occasions , the presumption that drawing means to disembowel is spurious . Instead , drawing ( as a method of transportation ) may be mentioned after hanging because it was a supplementary part of the execution . | wikipedia-2018 |
