He found the standard of play very high , stating : " Never in my life have I played harder than in Lancashire . " In his history of West Indies cricket , Michael Manley writes that league cricket at this time was intense and unrelenting , but : " it was in this special atmosphere of League cricket that Constantine was supreme .

wikipedia_2018-1159 | Injuries have always been an extremely big part of American Football , and various methods have been used historically and in modern times to prevent them . One method that has been used to prevent injuries is changing the rules of the sport . An early example of this is the elimination of mass formations like the flying wedge in the early 1900s , due to the large number of severe injuries the formations caused . Smaller wedges consisting of three , four , or five players were frequently used on kickoff returns before wedges were limited to two or fewer players in 2009 by the NFL ; a similar rule was adopted by the NCAA a year later . The sharp decrease in the number of catastrophic cervical spine injuries since the mid @-@ 1970s has been partially credited to rule changes that modified tackling and blocking techniques . With the increasing awareness of the long @-@ term effects of concussions , the NFL has passed rules prohibiting the targeting of " defenseless " players over @-@ the @-@ shoulder , requiring plays to be blown dead when the runner loses his helmet , and placing more stringent limits to the ability of players who have sustained a concussion to return to play . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-1182 | Mega Man 3 retains the platforming and action game elements established by the two Mega Man games released before it .

wikipedia_2018-1183 | The Croatia – Serbia border dispute entails competing claims regarding the border at several points along the Danube River valley shared by the two countries . The disputed areas are located along a 140 @-@ kilometre ( 87 mi ) portion of the course , out of 188 @-@ kilometre ( 117 mi ) of the river course in the area . In that area , the border is defined differently by the neighbouring countries — either as following the course of the Danube , as claimed by Serbia , or following a line tracing the borders of cadastral municipalities having seat in either of the two countries , as claimed by Croatia . The cadastre @-@ based boundary also traces the former riverbed of the Danube , which was changed by meandering and hydraulic engineering works in the 19th century , after the cadastre was established . The border dispute involves up to 140 square kilometres ( 54 square miles ) of territory . Other sources specify somewhat different figures , indicating a Croatian claim over 100 square kilometres ( 39 square miles ) on the eastern bank of the river , in Bačka , while saying that the cadastre @-@ based boundary leaves 10 to 30 square kilometres ( 3 @.@ 9 to 11 @.@ 6 square miles ) of territory on the western bank of the Danube , in Baranja to Serbia . Yet another estimate cites a total area of 100 square kilometres ( 39 square miles ) in dispute , 90 % of which is located on the eastern bank of the Danube , controlled by Serbia . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-1184 | The chief executive , Brian McMaster , did not appoint a replacement to Geliot as principal director during the 1980s , preferring to engage guest producers . Boyd mentions Andrei Șerban 's Eugene Onegin ( 1980 ) among the successes and Lucian Pintilie 's Carmen ( 1983 ) and Ruth Berghaus 's Don Giovanni ( 1984 ) as productions that received more mixed responses . Sir Charles Mackerras , the conductor for Don Giovanni , was open in his contempt for Berghaus 's production . Harry Kupfer 's Fidelio ( 1981 ) was condemned by The Daily Telegraph as " a piece of Marxist polemic " making " political sport " of Beethoven 's work . McMaster was thought by some too inclined to favour radical eastern European directors : Jonathan Miller , a leading English director , commented that he did not intend to take Bulgarian nationality , although it was " a must before Brian pays any attention " . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-1186 | Since 1998 , American botanist Austin Mast and co @-@ authors have been publishing results of ongoing cladistic analyses of DNA sequence data for the subtribe Banksiinae , which then comprised genera Banksia and Dryandra . Their analyses suggest a phylogeny that differs greatly from George 's taxonomic arrangement . Banksia oblongifolia resolves as the closest relative , or " sister " , to B. robur , with B. plagiocarpa as next closest relative . In 2007 , Mast and Thiele rearranged the genus Banksia by merging Dryandra into it , and published B. subg . Spathulatae for the taxa having spoon @-@ shaped cotyledons ; thus B. subg . Banksia was redefined as encompassing taxa lacking spoon @-@ shaped cotyledons . They foreshadowed publishing a full arrangement once DNA sampling of Dryandra was complete ; in the meantime , if Mast and Thiele 's nomenclatural changes are taken as an interim arrangement , B. oblongifolia is placed in B. subg . Spathulatae . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-1187 | General Buford realized the importance of the high ground directly to the south of Gettysburg . He knew that if the Confederates could gain control of the heights , Meade 's army would have a hard time dislodging them . He decided to utilize three ridges west of Gettysburg : Herr Ridge , McPherson Ridge , and Seminary Ridge ( proceeding west to east toward the town ) . These were appropriate terrain for a delaying action by his small division against superior Confederate infantry forces , meant to buy time awaiting the arrival of Union infantrymen who could occupy the strong defensive positions south of town , Cemetery Hill , Cemetery Ridge , and Culp 's Hill . Early that morning , Reynolds , who was commanding the Left Wing of the Army of the Potomac , ordered his corps to march to Buford 's location , with the XI Corps ( Maj. Gen. Oliver O.
