wikipedia_2018-1501 | The Ute Indians had known the canyon to exist for a long time before the first Europeans saw it . They referred to the river as " much rocks , big water , " and are known to have avoided the canyon out of superstition . By the time the United States declared independence in 1776 , two Spanish expeditions had passed by the canyons . In the 1800s , the numerous fur trappers searching for beaver pelts would have known of the canyon 's existence but they left no written record . The first official account of the Black Canyon was provided by Captain John Williams Gunnison in 1853 , who was leading an expedition to survey a route from Saint Louis and San Francisco . He described the country to be " the roughest , most hilly and most cut up , " he had ever seen , and skirted the canyon south towards present @-@ day Montrose . Following his death at the hands of Ute Indians later that year , the river that Captain Gunnison had called the Grand was renamed in his honor . | wikipedia-2018 |

The Werneth Incline , with its gradient of 1 in 27 , made the Middleton Junction to Oldham Werneth route the steepest regular passenger line in the country . The Werneth Incline route closed in 1963 . It had been replaced as the main route to Manchester by the section of line built between Oldham Werneth Station and <unk> Bridge Junction , at Newton Heath in May 1880 . Oldham Mumps , the second oldest station on the line after Werneth , took its name from its location in the Mumps area of Oldham , which itself probably derived from the archaic word " <unk> " which was slang for a beggar . The former Oldham Loop Line was converted for use with an expanded Metrolink light rail network , and renamed as the Oldham and Rochdale Line .

wikipedia_2018-1512 | It has been agreed since 1985 that each of the wholly parasitic platyhelminth groups ( Cestoda , Monogenea and Trematoda ) is monophyletic , and that together these form a larger monophyletic grouping , the Neodermata , in which the adults of all members have <unk> skins . However , there is debate about whether the Cestoda and Monogenea can be combined as an intermediate monophyletic group , the <unk> , within the Neodermata . It is generally agreed that the Neodermata are a sub @-@ group a few levels down in the " family tree " of the Rhabditophora . Hence the traditional sub @-@ phylum " Turbellaria " is paraphyletic , since it does not include the Neodermata although these are descendants of a sub @-@ group of " turbellarians " . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-1513 | Shortly after finishing touring for Hot Fuss , the Killers headed back into the studio to start recording their highly anticipated second studio album with producers Alan Moulder and Flood , who were working together for the first time in a decade .

The well @-@ known early avialan , Archaeopteryx , dates from slightly later Jurassic rocks ( about 155 million years old ) from Germany . Many of these early avialans shared unusual anatomical features that may be ancestral to modern birds , but were later lost during bird evolution . These features include enlarged claws on the second toe which may have been held clear of the ground in life , and long feathers or " hind wings " covering the hind limbs and feet , which may have been used in aerial maneuvering . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-1515 | Allison rebuilt his accelerator , which he called the " <unk> " , because it could accelerate particles to energies of 400 <unk> . The name was a reference to the massive <unk> being built at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory , which was planned to accelerate particles to billions of electron volts . Allison still believed that there were useful results still to be found with low energies . He became a pioneer of what became known as " heavy ion physics " , accelerating protons and deuterons , and using lithium and beryllium as targets . The data on these reactions of light elements would subsequently prove useful in the study of stellar nucleosynthesis . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-1517 | While traces of Banai / Balai 's association with the folk god <unk> as a " mother " remain , Banai rarely enjoys independent worship in modern times . She is generally worshipped as Khandoba 's consort . While in Karnataka , her temple is outside the village and Mailara ( as Khandoba is known in Karnataka ) journeys every year to visit it for ten nights from his temple in the village . In Maharashtra , Banai 's temple is inside the village , but outside the chief temple , as in Khandoba 's chief temple at Jejuri . Mhalsa - who is installed in the main temple - is said to resist the arrival of Khandoba 's new wife Banai and thus , Banai does not reside in the chief temple . Frustrated by the constant quarrels between the two wives , Khandoba is said to have divided the hill of Jejuri into two halves : the lower half belongs to Banai , where she has a separate shrine while Mhalsa rules the upper half where she stays with Khandoba in the main temple . It is customary to pay respects to Banai on the way up to the main shrine , before worshipping Khandoba and Mhalsa there . It is said that Khandoba bestowed the honour of first worship on Banai , while sending her off to a separate residence . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-1518 | Another improvement from the 12th century onwards was the creation of shell keeps , involving replacing the wooden keep on the motte with a circular stone wall . Buildings could be built around the inside of the shell , producing a small inner courtyard . Restormel Castle is a classic example of this development with a perfectly circular wall and a square entrance tower while the later Launceston Castle , although more ovoid than circular , is another good example of the design and one of the most formidable castles of the period . Round castles were unusually popular throughout Cornwall and Devon . Although the circular design held military advantages , these only really mattered in the 13th century onwards ; the origins of 12th @-@ century circular design were the circular design of the mottes ; indeed , some designs were less than circular in order to accommodate irregular mottes , such as that at Windsor Castle . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-1521 | In late 2010 , Lake Mead dropped to just 8 feet ( 2 @.@ 4 m ) above the first " drought trigger " elevation , a level at which Arizona and Nevada would have to begin rationing water as delineated by the Colorado River Compact . Despite above @-@ average runoff in 2011 that raised the immense reservoir more than 30 feet ( 9 @.@ 1 m ) , record drought conditions returned in 2012 and 2013 . Reservoir levels were low enough at the beginning of water year 2014 that the Bureau of Reclamation cut releases from Lake Powell by 750 @,@ 000 acre feet ( 930 @,@ 000 ML ) – the first such reduction since the 1960s , when Lake Powell was being filled for the first time . This resulted in Lake Mead dropping to its lowest recorded level since 1937 , when it was first being filled . Rapid development and economic growth further complicate the issue of a secure water supply , particularly in the case of California 's senior water rights over those of Nevada and Arizona : in case of a reduction in water supply , Nevada and Arizona would have to endure severe cuts before any reduction in the California allocation , which is also larger than the other two combined . Although stringent water conservation measures have been implemented , the threat of severe shortfalls in the Colorado River basin continues to increase each year . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-1540 | According to Allmusic , the album is mostly influenced by dance @-@ pop , post @-@ disco and pop rock music . The overall sound of Madonna is dissonant , and is in the form of upbeat synthetic disco , utilizing some of the new technology of the time , like the usage of Linn drum machine , Moog bass and the OB @-@ X synthesizer . This equipment has dated since , consequently the sound of the album comes off as somewhat harsh . Madonna commented on her debut album : " The songs were pretty weak and I went to England during the recordings so I wasn 't around ... I wasn 't in control . [ ... ] I didn 't realise how crucial it was for me to break out of the disco mold before I 'd already finished the [ first ] album . I wish I could have got a little more variety there . " The album starts with the song " Lucky Star " , a medium @-@ paced dance track , beginning with a sparkle of synth note and is followed by heavy beats of electronic drum and handclaps . A guitar is played in high riff and a bubbling bass synth is produced to accompany the guitar sound . The song revolves around the " Starlight , <unk> " hook for more than a minute , before going to the chorus . According to author Rikky Rooksby , the lyrics are repetitive and inane , revolving around the transparent ambiguity of the stars , and juxtaposition of the male character with being a heavenly body in the sky . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-1553 | The pigeye shark inhabits coastal waters down to a depth of 150 m ( 490 ft ) , favouring environments with fine sediment and murky water . It sometimes enters estuaries , but unlike the bull shark , it does not ascend rivers and avoids brackish water . The movements and habitat usage of juvenile pigeye sharks have been extensively studied in Cleveland Bay in northeastern Queensland . Young sharks live in the bay year @-@ round , staying mostly in the eastern side where the input from three rivers produces strong currents and high turbidity . Individual home ranges are relatively small , averaging 30 km2 ( 12 sq mi ) , and increase in size with age . The juveniles generally stay in water less than 40 m ( 130 ft ) deep , with the youngest sharks spending the most time in the shallowest parts of the bay . They swim into the intertidal zone with the rising tide and depart as the tide recedes ; this movement may relate to exploiting foraging opportunities on the submerged mud flats , or to avoiding predation or competition by staying out of the deeper waters occupied by larger sharks . There is also an annual movement cycle where the juveniles move closer to the river mouths during the dry season and farther from them during the wet season ; since the rainy season brings a higher flow of fresh water into the bay , the sharks may be responding directly or indirectly to the resultant decrease in salinity and dissolved oxygen levels . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-1591 | Indira Parthasarathy 's Nandan Kathai ( 1978 ) builds the tale of Nandanar ( referred in the work as Nandan ) further , introducing two non @-@ Brahmin upper caste landholders , who are as ruthless as Bharati 's Vediyar . Nandanar is portrayed as a lover of art , rather than God . He wants to see the cosmic dance of Nataraja . A Devadasi called Abhirami also appears ; no significant female characters are found in earlier narratives . Indira is blunt in reprimanding the Dalits for not understanding Nandanar . Nandan Kathai is a quest for liberation of Dalits and women alike . Unlike earlier narratives , Indira 's tale is devoid of miracles and is a story of how Nandanar falls prey to a conspiracy . The Vediyar @-@ priest , the Vediyar @-@ landlord and the two non @-@ Brahmin upper caste landholders , hatch a plot to end Nandan . They make Nandanar believe that God harvested crop from the field , an allusion to the miracle of Vediyar 's impossible task in Bharati 's work . Then , they persuade him to organize a dance contest between Bharatnatyam , the high @-@ caste elites ' dance and the folk dance of the Dalits . Finally , in the climax , Nandanar agrees to undergo a fire @-@ trial , reassured by the earlier miracle , but he and Abhirami burn in the flames . The upper castes succeed in sending a warning to Dalits how trespassers of the caste code , longing for salvation , would be punished . | wikipedia-2018 |
