wikipedia_2018-1200 | East of Lewiston village , NY 104 follows Ridge Road through a sparsely populated area of Niagara County . Much of this portion of NY 104 is bordered on its southern end by the Tuscarora Indian Reservation . At the Lewiston hamlet of <unk> , the extents of the reservation head south , and development along NY 104 increases slightly . NY 104 meets the northern terminus of NY 429 at the Lewiston – Cambria town line and crosses over NY 425 at Streeters Corners . Just east of this location is an intersection with NY 93 in the community of Molyneaux Corners . The two routes form a concurrency east to Warrens Corners , a hamlet situated on the Cambria – Lockport town line , where NY 93 turns south to serve the city of Lockport . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-1202 | The term " plum cake " and " fruit cake " have become interchangeable . Since dried fruit is used as a sweetening agent and any dried fruit used to be described as " plums " , many plum cakes and plum puddings do not contain the plum fruit now known by that name . ( Plum pudding is a similar , richer dish prepared with similar ingredients , cooked by steaming the mixture rather than baking it . ) The term " plum " originally referred to prunes , raisins or grapes . Thus the so @-@ called plums from which English plum puddings are made " were always raisins , not the plump juicy fruits that the name suggests today . " | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-1203 | Supervision of the construction was lax , which enabled the contractors to skimp on the lining of the tunnels . This manifested itself in March 1855 when part of the brickwork of Mountfield Tunnel collapsed . An inspection of Grove Hill , Strawberry Hill and Wells tunnels revealed that they too had been constructed with too few layers of bricks . Grove Hill Tunnel had been built with just a single ring of bricks and no filling above the crown of the brickwork . The SER took the contractors to court and were awarded £ 3 @,@ 500 in damages . However , rectifying the situation cost the company £ 4 @,@ 700 . Although the contractors had charged for six rings of bricks , they had only used four . Due to the cost of <unk> the tunnels , this had to be rectified by the addition of a further two rings of brickwork , reducing the width of the tunnels by 18 inches ( 460 mm ) . The result of this was that the loading gauge on the line was restricted , and special rolling stock had to be built , later becoming known as Restriction 0 rolling stock . This problem would affect the line until 1986 . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-1204 | The JNA evacuated 21 T @-@ 55 tanks , nine T @-@ 34s , an armoured recovery vehicle , an armoured vehicle @-@ launched bridge , ten APCs ( including an armoured command vehicle ) and 50 vehicles carrying military equipment . Elements of the 110th Infantry Brigade entered the Logorište barracks on the morning of 6 November , removing some of the military hardware in the barracks before pulling out at 1 : 00 p.m. after being informed that the JNA was planning an artillery attack . Captured equipment continued to be removed from the barracks until 13 November . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-1205 | The early breakaway included four riders . These were Thomas Voeckler ( Direct Énergie ) , Matthew Brammeier ( Dimension Data ) , Florian Vachon ( Fortuneo – Vital Concept ) and Evaldas <unk> ( Delko – Marseille Provence KTM ) . They were not allowed to build a large advantage , with the peloton keeping them just a few minutes ahead . The main action of the day came on the second @-@ category final climb . In the breakaway , now just a minute ahead , Voeckler attacked and dropped the other breakaway riders . Nathan Haas ( Dimension Data ) attacked the peloton at the top of the climb , but made a mistake on a corner and ended up in a field . On the climb , Marcel Kittel and Arnaud Démare were dropped , with Démare then pulling out of the race . Geraint Thomas was one of several riders to crash on the climb , but he was able to return to the peloton . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-1206 | Henry quickly established himself as count , building up a network of followers from western Normandy and eastern Brittany , whom historian John Le <unk> has characterised as " Henry 's gang " . His early supporters included Roger of Mandeville , Richard of Redvers , Richard d 'Avranches and Robert Fitzhamon , along with the churchman Roger of Salisbury . Robert attempted to go back on his deal with Henry and re @-@ appropriate the county , but Henry 's grip was already sufficiently firm to prevent this . Robert 's rule of the Duchy was chaotic , and parts of Henry 's lands became almost independent of central control from Rouen . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-1207 | One of the tour matches was against the Marylebone Cricket Club ( MCC ) , which fielded a team composed almost entirely of Test players . In what was effectively a dress rehearsal for the Tests , Australia fielded their full @-@ strength team and won by an innings . The difference in Australia 's team for the First Test was the omission of leg spinner Colin McCool , who had been struggling from a torn callus on his spinning finger , which prevented him from bowling long spells . It was thought that Bradman would play another leg spinner — Doug Ring — in McCool 's place , but the Australian captain changed his mind on the first morning when rain was forecast . Bill Johnston was played in the hope of exploiting a wet wicket . In previous rain @-@ affected matches on the tour , Johnston had been highly effective , taking match figures of 10 / 40 and 11 / 117 against Yorkshire and Hampshire respectively . Bill Brown , the reserve opener , played out of position in the middle @-@ order , as he had against Worcestershire and the MCC . Aside from Brown and Johnston 's inclusion , Australia 's team was the same as that which started the previous Ashes series in 1946 – 47 , which they won 3 – 0 . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-1208 | In early 1986 an execution date ( March 4 ) was set on the Chi Omega convictions ; the Supreme Court issued a brief stay , but the execution was quickly rescheduled . In April , shortly after the new date ( July 2 ) was announced , Bundy confessed to Hagmaier and Nelson what they believed was the full range of his depredations , including details of what he did to some victims after their deaths . He told them that he revisited Taylor Mountain , Issaquah , and other secondary crime scenes , often several times , to lie with his victims and perform sexual acts with their decomposing bodies until putrefaction forced him to stop . In some cases he drove several hours each way and remained the entire night . In Utah he applied makeup to Melissa Smith 's lifeless face , and he repeatedly washed Laura Aime 's hair . " If you 've got time , " he told Hagmaier , " they can be anything you want them to be . " He decapitated approximately twelve of his victims with a hacksaw , and kept at least one group of severed heads — probably the four later found on Taylor Mountain ( Rancourt , Parks , Ball , and Healy ) — in his apartment for a period of time before disposing of them . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-1210 | The moviemakers ' new distributor , Robertson @-@ Cole , was unable to find the right market for Heart of Juanita and The Flame of Hellgate in 1920 . American audiences had grown more sophisticated , yet Michelena Studios was still employing their earlier production techniques . After shooting The Flame of Hellgate , Middleton and Michelena stopped making movies altogether . She returned to her singing performances and he returned to his car sales . They reportedly divorced in the mid @-@ 1920s , though Middleton told the 1930 US Census that they were married . The union produced no children . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-1211 | The Ottawa writing system is a minor adaptation of a very similar one used for other dialects of Ojibwe in Ontario and the United States , and widely employed in reference materials and text collections . Sometimes referred to as the Double Vowel system because it uses doubled vowel symbols to represent Ottawa long vowels that are paired with corresponding short vowels , it is an adaptation attributed to Charles Fiero of the linguistically oriented system found in publications such as Leonard Bloomfield ’ s Eastern Ojibwa . Letters of the English alphabet substitute for specialized phonetic symbols , in conjunction with orthographic conventions unique to Ottawa . The system embodies two basic principles : ( 1 ) alphabetic letters from the English alphabet are used to write Ottawa , but with Ottawa sound values ; ( 2 ) the system is phonemic in nature , in that each letter or letter combination indicates its basic sound value , and does not reflect all the phonetic detail that occurs . Accurate pronunciation cannot be learned without consulting a fluent speaker . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-1212 | Even so , Christians have noted with concern the disintegration of traditional Huaorani culture and westernization of the tribe , beginning with Nate Saint 's own journal entry in 1955 and continuing through today . However , many continue to view as positive both Operation Auca and the subsequent missionary efforts of Rachel Saint , mission organizations such as Mission Aviation Fellowship , Wycliffe Bible Translators , <unk> World Radio , Avant Ministries ( formerly Gospel Missionary Union ) , and others . Specifically , they note the decline in violence among tribe members , numerous conversions to Christianity , and growth of the local church . | wikipedia-2018 |

At 15 : 30 , some 58 – 80 Ju 88s from I. , II . , and III . / LG 1 , escorted by 30 Bf 110s of V. / LG 1 , took off to bomb Boscombe Down and Worthy Down . RAF Andover was to be bombed as well , with the support of 52 Ju 87s from StG 1 and StG 2 who were to strike at RAF Warmwell and Yeovil . I. / JG 53 flew a fighter sweep ahead of the bombers from Poole to Lyme Regis in order to tempt the RAF into battle . I. / JG 53 made landfall at 16 : 00 . The sweep failed to attract and divert RAF squadrons . Instead , all it succeeded in doing was to alert the RAF defences a critical five minutes earlier . When the main wave of LG 1 and StG 2 arrived over the coast , they were greeted by 77 RAF fighters . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-1214 | Born <unk> <unk> ( and other renderings ) , to parents residing in Egypt , Smith travelled to Britain as a child stowaway and first volunteered to serve in the British Army in 1904 . He emigrated to Australia after discharge , where he remained until mobilised as a reservist in 1914 . As a corporal in the 1st Battalion , The Manchester Regiment , Smith was engaged in the Second Battle of Ypres . On 26 April 1915 , Smith , on his own initiative , recovered wounded soldiers while exposed to sustained fire and attended to them " with the greatest devotion to duty regardless of personal risk " . His conduct secured a recommendation for the Victoria Cross , which was awarded to Smith in August 1915 . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-1216 | The main evidence of such an impact , besides the crater itself , is contained in a thin layer of clay present in the K – Pg boundary across the world . In the late 1970s , the <unk> and colleagues reported that it contained an abnormally high concentration of iridium . Iridium levels in this layer reached 6 parts per billion by weight or more compared to 0 @.@ 4 for the Earth 's crust as a whole ; in comparison , meteorites can contain around 470 parts per billion of this element . It was hypothesized that the iridium was spread into the atmosphere when the impactor was vaporized and settled across the Earth 's surface amongst other material thrown up by the impact , producing the layer of iridium @-@ enriched clay . Similarly , an iridium anomaly in core samples from the Pacific Ocean suggested the <unk> impact of about 2 @.@ 5 million years ago . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-1217 | " Brian & Stewie " is the 17th episode of the eighth season of the American animated television series Family Guy , and 150th episode of the series overall .

wikipedia_2018-1218 | Perhaps no American neo @-@ noirs better reflect the classic noir A @-@ movie @-@ with @-@ a @-@ B @-@ movie @-@ soul than those of director @-@ writer Quentin Tarantino ; neo @-@ noirs of his such as Reservoir Dogs ( 1992 ) and Pulp Fiction ( 1994 ) display a relentlessly self @-@ reflexive , sometimes tongue @-@ in @-@ cheek sensibility , similar to the work of the New Wave directors and the Coens . Other films from the era readily identifiable as neo @-@ noir ( some retro , some more au courant ) include director John Dahl 's Kill Me Again ( 1989 ) , Red Rock West ( 1992 ) , The Last Seduction ( 1993 ) , To Die For ( 1995 ) , and A Perfect Murder ( 1998 ) ; four adaptations of novels by Jim Thompson — The Kill @-@ Off ( 1989 ) , After Dark , My Sweet ( 1990 ) , The Grifters ( 1990 ) , and the remake of The Getaway ( 1994 ) ; and many more , including adaptations of the work of other major noir fiction writers : The Hot Spot ( 1990 ) , from Hell Hath No Fury , by Charles Williams ; Miami Blues ( 1990 ) , from the novel by Charles <unk> ; and Out of Sight ( 1998 ) , from the novel by Elmore Leonard . Several films by director @-@ writer David Mamet involve noir elements : House of Games ( 1987 ) , Homicide ( 1991 ) , The Spanish Prisoner ( 1997 ) , and Heist ( 2001 ) . On television , Remington Steele ( 1982 – 87 ) and Moonlighting ( 1985 – 89 ) paid homage to classic noir while demonstrating an unusual appreciation of the sense of humor often found in the original cycle . Between 1983 and 1989 , Mickey Spillane 's hardboiled private eye Mike Hammer was played with wry gusto by Stacy Keach in a series and several stand @-@ alone television films ( an unsuccessful revival followed in 1997 – 98 ) . The British miniseries The Singing Detective ( 1986 ) , written by Dennis Potter , tells the story of a mystery writer named Philip Marlow ; widely considered one of the finest neo @-@ noirs in any medium , some critics rank it among the greatest television productions of all time . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-1229 | In the 1960s onwards , there was a certain progressiveness in the air , and the first women guests were admitted in 1964 . Women members were first admitted to the 1974 – 5 year . The college 's first comprehensive @-@ schooled student ( Paul Barker ) had arrived in 1955 . It was also almost completely secular – with the exception of the chaplain and his deputies ; the chaplain 's role itself dominated by pastoral work . The students themselves concentrated more and more on the exams – marks improved across the university – but this left a class gulf between some staff and undergraduates , most visible in " gentlemanly " sports . Michael Palin and Robert <unk> were among new creative talent . Since the 1950s , over 70 % of students were state @-@ assisted , half of undergraduates drawn from state or direct grant schools , a figure very close to the University average . Brasenose merged entrance and scholarship exams in 1961 , abolished closed scholarships in the decade after , and open entrance awards in 1984 . Brasenose 's traditional link with the north @-@ west also floundered , although it is perhaps surprising that it lasted until the 1970s .

wikipedia_2018-1230 | The large spillway tunnels have been used only twice , for testing in 1941 and because of flooding in 1983 . During both times , when inspecting the tunnels after the spillways were used , engineers found major damage to the concrete linings and underlying rock . The 1941 damage was attributed to a slight misalignment of the tunnel invert ( or base ) , which caused cavitation , a phenomenon in fast @-@ flowing liquids in which vapor bubbles collapse with explosive force . In response to this finding , the tunnels were patched with special heavy @-@ duty concrete and the surface of the concrete was polished mirror @-@ smooth . The spillways were modified in 1947 by adding flip buckets , which both slow the water and decrease the spillway 's effective capacity , in an attempt to eliminate conditions thought to have contributed to the 1941 damage . The 1983 damage , also due to cavitation , led to the installation of <unk> in the spillways . Tests at Grand Coulee Dam showed that the technique worked , in principle . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-1232 | Myles McNutt from The A. V. Club wrote a mixed review and gave it a C + . He noted that the episode 's closing scene , wherein Jim , Dwight , and Harry talk about Robert California ruining the company , was an example of a retcon that " the shift to a world with actual consequences is certainly a step in the right direction for the series , and one that slightly elevates ' Turf War ' if not the season as a whole . " However , McNutt was largely critical of the writing , noting that the closure of the Binghamton branch was a " cheap segue " that " render [ ed ] the show 's characters as subservient to the narrative whims of the writers . " He argued — specifically citing the <unk> that the Scranton employees showed after hearing that a neighboring branch was shut down — that many of the characters ' motives were not effective because they simply acted as ciphers , through which the larger plots could unfold . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-1234 | Slaughter 's governorship was further complicated by the financial panic of 1819 , and he spent the majority of his term working to stabilize that state 's economy . Politicians of the day generally divided into those who favored measures favorable to debtors – called the " relief " position or party – and those who insisted that creditors be paid in a timely manner – called the " anti @-@ relief " position or party . On December 16 , 1819 , the General Assembly passed a law requiring a six @-@ month moratorium on the collection of debts . Slaughter , an anti @-@ relief partisan , vetoed the bill , but relief party legislators held a large majority in the General Assembly thanks to the previous fall 's elections , and overrode the veto . The following February , the General Assembly passed an even more liberal stay law , preventing the collection of debts for one year if the creditor would accept payments in the devalued notes of the Bank of Kentucky and two years if they demanded payment in specie or specie @-@ backed notes . These actions were a precursor to the Old Court @-@ New Court controversy . While Slaughter clashed with the General Assembly over potential solutions to the crisis at the state level , he adopted a strong states ' rights policy at the national level . He challenged the constitutionality of the Bank of the United States and the Supreme Court 's ruling that individual states could not tax branches of the Bank . | wikipedia-2018 |

Despite carrying a nagging ankle injury , Hall started the 2011 season well , with The Mercury 's Brett Stubbs writing that he was arguably the second best player in the league . He missed five weeks during the middle of the season and , although he was named best on ground in his comeback match , Hall said that another injury would probably be the end of his career .

wikipedia_2018-1236 | The House of Commons , with a Whig majority , quickly resolved that the throne was vacant , and that it was safer if the ruler was Protestant . There were more Tories in the House of Lords , which would not initially agree , but after William refused to be a regent or to agree to remain king only in his wife 's lifetime , there were negotiations between the two houses and the Lords agreed by a narrow majority that the throne was vacant . The Commons made William accept a Bill of Rights , and , on 13 February 1689 , Parliament passed the Declaration of Right , in which it deemed that James , by attempting to flee , had abdicated the government of the realm , thereby leaving the throne vacant . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-1237 | There are two songs about falling in love , " Mi Lugar Favorito " and " Vámonos Negrito " . The former , arranged to emulate emotional outbursts , was the most difficult to finish , and the singer had a hard time trying to find the right place for it on the album . " Vámonos Negrito " is a tribute to her Latin American roots that she started writing after a show in Colombia and finished in Cuba ; in this song , one of her favorites , she tried to create a musical landscape with instruments , textures , and harmonies . The bolero " Antes de <unk> " , is a " sad and hopeful " song . It is about not letting go of the things we love .

wikipedia_2018-1242 | Simon de Montfort had seized power in England following his victory over Henry III at the Battle of Lewes during the Second Barons ' War , but his grip on the country was under threat . In an attempt to gather more support he summoned representatives from not only the barons and the knights of the shires , as had occurred in previous parliaments , but also burgesses from the major towns . The resulting parliament in London discussed radical reforms and temporarily stabilised Montfort 's political situation . Montfort was killed at the Battle of Evesham later that year , but the idea of inviting both knights and burgesses to parliaments became more popular under the reign of Henry 's son Edward I.

wikipedia_2018-1249 | The canal was completed just as the Long Depression was coming to an end , but it was never the commercial success its sponsors had hoped for . Many ship owners were reluctant to dispatch ocean @-@ going vessels along a " locked cul @-@ de @-@ sac " at a maximum speed of 6 knots ( 11 km / h ; 6 @.@ 9 mph ) . The Ship Canal Company found it difficult to attract a diversified export trade , which meant that ships not uncommonly had to return down the canal loaded with ballast rather than freight . The only staple imports attracted to the Port of Manchester were lamp oil and bananas , the latter from 1902 until 1911 . As the import trade in oil began to grow during the 20th century the balance of canal traffic switched to the west , from Salford to Stanlow , eventually culminating in the closure of the docks at Salford . Historian Thomas Stuart Willan has observed that " What may seem to require explanation is not the comparative failure of the Ship Canal but the unquenchable vitality of the myth of its success " . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-1254 | During the reign of John III Sobieski ( 1674 – 1696 ) , half of Sejm proceedings were scuttled by the veto . The practice also spread from the national Sejm to local sejmik proceedings . In the first half of the 18th century , it became increasingly common for Sejm sessions to be broken up by liberum veto , as the Commonwealth 's neighbours – chiefly Russia and Prussia — found this a useful tool to frustrate attempts at reforming and strengthening the Commonwealth . By bribing deputies to exercise their vetoes , Poland 's neighbours could derail any measures not to their liking . The Commonwealth deteriorated from a European power into a state of anarchy . Only a few Sejms were able to meet during the reign of the House of Saxony in Poland ( 1696 – 1763 ) , the last one in 1736 . Only eight out of 18 Sejm sessions during the reign of Augustus II ( 1697 – 1733 ) passed legislation . For a period of 30 years around the reign of Augustus III , only one session was able to pass legislation ( 1734 – 1763 ) . The government was near collapse , giving rise to the term " Polish anarchy " , and the country was managed by provincial assemblies and magnates . | wikipedia-2018 |

Executive produced by Clive Davis , Breakaway sees Clarkson collaborating with various producers and songwriters for the first time , primarily Dr. Luke , Max Martin , Avril Lavigne , Kara DioGuardi , Ben Moody , and David Hodges ; the latter two are former members of American rock band Evanescence . Despite the established commercial success of Thankful , music critics still continued to typecast Clarkson as an American Idol winner and were also critical of her attempts of establishing a commercial appeal on her own . Wanting to stray from those , she was convinced by Davis to work with Dr. Luke and Martin in Stockholm , and with Moody and Hodges in Los Angeles , in pursuit of a pop rock direction .
