wikipedia_2018-1802 | Writer Joss Whedon says that " Rhonda the Immortal Waitress " was really the first incarnation of the Buffy concept , " just the idea of some woman who seems to be completely insignificant who turns out to be extraordinary " . This early , unproduced idea evolved into Buffy , an inversion of the Hollywood formula of " the little blonde girl who goes into a dark alley and gets killed in every horror movie " . Whedon wanted " to subvert that idea and create someone who was a hero " . He explained , " The very first mission statement of the show was the joy of female power : having it , using it , sharing it " . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-1803 | Production on the band 's sixth studio album began as a result of a series of events in which Shinoda decided to drop the electronic and experimental sound of the band 's previous two studio albums . Shinoda had originally recorded and produced demos , which continued the sound of A Thousand Suns and Living Things , for the band 's sixth studio album during the band 's Living Things World Tour in 2013 . He presented the demos to his bandmates , which received positive reception from the rest of the band , and to Rubin , who was also positive towards the demos , though describing them to Shinoda as more " poppy " than he expected . However , Shinoda , after listening to the demos again after the end of the tour , felt a strong negativity towards his material , especially after Rubin 's statements . In a Warner Music interview , Shinoda stated that " I don 't even believe in this music . This is a mistake ; I don 't like what I 'm making . I kind of went backwards into the process and scrapped all of it and started new stuff . " | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-1804 | Warner Brothers initially hired Aram Avakian , a " talented , aggressive young ex @-@ film editor " known for his avant @-@ garde tendencies , to direct the film . The studio wanted a sentimental dog story that played true to the novel , which Avakian opposed . In a 1969 Life interview , Avakian stated that he " wanted to make a kind of pop , camp thing that wouldn 't be a complete ordeal for parents " while everyone else involved in the production wanted " Dick , Jane and Doggie " . Jack Warner , then head of the studio , eventually fired him , bringing the more conventional Leslie H. Martinson to complete the film . Peter Breck and Peggy McCay were cast as Lad 's owners , renamed to Stephen and Elizabeth Tremayne . Veteran actor Carroll O 'Connor was hired to play the pompous and newly wealthy Hamilcar Q. Glure , with the role of his daughter played by Angela Cartwright , a noted young actress who had starred in The Danny Thomas Show . To cast the role of Lad , a talent search was conducted , eventually resulting in the selection of a collie from the San Fernando Valley who was credited simply as " Lad " . The film is set in a modified version of the Place , with Pompton Lake reduced to a river with a large dock . The house , though similar to the real Terhune home , even including duplicates of the stone lions on the veranda , was built on a scale three times larger than the original . | wikipedia-2018 |

" Matt David , previously the campaign 's communications director , replaced Wiles as campaign manager . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-1808 | The length and nature of parental care varies widely amongst different orders and species . At one extreme , parental care in megapodes ends at hatching ; the newly hatched chick digs itself out of the nest mound without parental assistance and can fend for itself immediately . At the other extreme , many seabirds have extended periods of parental care , the longest being that of the great frigatebird , whose chicks take up to six months to fledge and are fed by the parents for up to an additional 14 months . The chick guard stage describes the period of breeding during which one of the adult birds is permanently present at the nest after chicks have hatched . The main purpose of the guard stage is to aid offspring to thermoregulate and protect them from predation . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-1809 | In 1804 , Clarkson resumed his work and the Society for Effecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade began meeting again , strengthened with prominent new members such as Zachary Macaulay , Henry Brougham and James Stephen . In June 1804 , Wilberforce 's bill to abolish the slave trade successfully passed all its stages through the House of Commons . However , it was too late in the parliamentary session for it to complete its passage through the House of Lords . On its reintroduction during the 1805 session , it was defeated , with even the usually sympathetic Pitt failing to support it . On this occasion and throughout the campaign , abolition was held back by Wilberforce 's trusting , even credulous nature , and his deferential attitude towards those in power . He found it difficult to believe that men of rank would not do what he perceived to be the right thing , and was reluctant to confront them when they did not . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-1810 | Public outrage from Montreal poured in about what residents felt was excessive punishment . Many Québécois regarded the suspension as the English minority further attempting to subjugate the French majority and an attempt to humiliate French Canadians by " excessively punishing their favorite player " . Campbell , who received death threats , stated that he would not back down and announced his intention to attend the Canadiens ' next home game against the Red Wings on March 17 , despite advice that he not do so . Hundreds of demonstrators gathered in the Montreal Forum lobby two hours before the game . Attempts to " crash the gate " by these fans without tickets were denied by police . They then began to gather at Cabot Square across from the Forum . The crowd of demonstrators grew to 6 @,@ 000 . Some carried signs that denounced Campbell , and others had signs reading , among other things , " Vive Richard " ( Long live Richard ) , " No Richard , no Cup " , and " Our national sport destroyed " . The crowd , originally described as " jovial " , turned " surly " after police intervened at the ticket gate . After the mood turned foul , some members of the crowd began smashing windows and throwing ice chunks at passing streetcars . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-1811 | Working on studio sets was a new experience for Rathborne , whose previous work had all been filmed on location . She also found it refreshing to work with the series ' ensemble cast , recalling that Miguel Ferrer often had the cast and crew laughing at the way he approached his material , imbuing the atmosphere during filming with a mix of comedy and drama . Rathborne has also noted the use of ordinary , almost banal , daily life in the series , finding it a necessary element to be able to play the series ' more violent and surreal elements against effectively . She particularly singled out Cooper as a wholesome " boy next door " character who allowed the town 's more unusual residents to stand out more starkly . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-1812 | Singh 's next release was Lootera ( 2013 ) , a period romance , written and directed by Vikramaditya Motwane , and co @-@ starring Sonakshi Sinha . An adaptation of O.

There , he ran Coveleski Service Station for a time , but closed the business during the Great Depression . He became a popular member of the community in South Bend , providing free pitching lessons to local youths in a field behind his garage . After his playing career ended , he dropped the " e " at the end of his name , as he never corrected anyone if his last name was incorrectly spelled . In 1969 , Coveleski was named to the Baseball Hall of Fame by the Veterans ' Committee alongside 1920s pitcher Waite Hoyt . Of his introduction into the Hall he said , " I figured I 'd make it sooner or later , and I just kept hoping each year would be the one .

wikipedia_2018-1820 | Preston and the British forces had many more guns and much more ammunition than the Americans and thus achieved a 10 @-@ to @-@ 1 firepower advantage for the first few weeks . Montgomery concentrated his forces on improving the siege works . Within several days they had erected 2 batteries under consistent fire from the fort . On September 22 , Montgomery was nearly killed while inspecting the breastworks when a cannonball from the fort shot past him , ripping his skirt and knocking him off the breastwork , although he landed on his feet . The troops observed that this " did not seem to hurt or frighten him . " | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-1821 | Rivers and streams in the Colorado basin were once home to 49 species of native fish , of which 42 were endemic . Engineering projects and river regulation have led to the extinction of four species and severe declines in the populations of 40 species . <unk> chub , razorback sucker , Colorado pikeminnow , and humpback chub are among those considered the most at risk ; all are unique to the Colorado River system and well adapted to the river 's natural silty conditions and flow variations . Clear , cold water released by dams has significantly changed characteristics of habitat for these and other Colorado River basin fishes . A further 40 species that occur in the river today , notably the brown trout , were introduced during the 19th and 20th centuries , mainly for sport fishing . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-1822 | From early 1919 , Belgium engaged in a propaganda campaign to promote its vision of annexation . At the Paris Peace Conference , the Belgian delegation argued in favour of the international community allowing Belgium to annex Luxembourg . However , fearing loss of influence over the left bank of the Rhine , France rejected Belgium 's overtures out of hand , thus guaranteeing Luxembourg 's continued independence . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-1823 | Waptia fieldensis is the only species accepted under the genus Waptia . It is classified under the family <unk> ( established by Walcott in 1912 ) , the order <unk> ( established by Leif Størmer in 1944 ) , and ( tentatively ) the clade <unk> . Early restorations of Waptia fieldensis by Charles R. Knight in 1940 erroneously depicted it as a primitive shrimp , but modern paleontologists now consider it among the Burgess Shale arthropods that are of unknown and uncertain taxonomic placement . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-1824 | There exists no single definition of which groups , families and species are seabirds , and most definitions are in some way arbitrary . In the words of two seabird scientists , " The one common characteristic that all seabirds share is that they feed in saltwater ; but , as seems to be true with any statement in biology , some do not . " However , by convention all of the Sphenisciformes and Procellariiformes , all of the Pelecaniformes except the darters , and some of the Charadriiformes ( the skuas , gulls , terns , auks and skimmers ) are classified as seabirds . The phalaropes are usually included as well , since although they are waders ( " shorebirds " in North America ) , two of the three species are oceanic for nine months of the year , crossing the equator to feed <unk> . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-1825 | The hunt is also associated with the administering of a herbal viaticum in the medieval chansons de geste , in which traditional heroic culture and Christian values interpenetrate . The chansons offer multiple examples of grass or foliage substituted as a viaticum when a warrior or knight meets his violent end outside the Christian community . Sarah Kay views this substitute rite as communion with the <unk> " primitive sacred , " speculating that " pagan " beliefs lurk beneath a Christian veneer . In the Raoul de Cambrai , the dying Bernier receives three blades of grass in place of the corpus Domini . Two other chansons place this desire for communion within the <unk> of the sacrificial boar hunt . In <unk> et <unk> , Bove is murdered next to the boar he just killed ; he asks his own killer to grant him communion " with a leaf , " and when he is denied , he then asks that his enemy eat his heart instead . This request is granted ; the killer partakes of the victim ’ s body as an alternative sacrament . In Garin le <unk> , <unk> is similarly assassinated next to the corpse of a boar , and takes communion with three blades of grass . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-1826 | The family members are afraid to testify at the mock trial and at the real deposition ; Buster fakes a coma , Lindsay and Lucille fake entering rehab , and Gob flees the country to perform in a USO Tour in Iraq .

Buster and Michael travel to Iraq to rescue Gob , and while there , uncover evidence that the mini @-@ palaces George Sr. built in Iraq were actually ordered and paid for by the CIA for wiretapping purposes . After this discovery , the US government drops all of the charges against George Sr. In the general confusion , everyone except George Michael forgets Maeby 's sixteenth birthday . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-1828 | The main historical sources for this period are the Norse sagas and the Irish annals . Some of the annals , such as the Annals of Ulster are believed to be contemporary accounts , whereas the sagas were written down at dates much later than the events they describe and are considered far less reliable . A few of the annals such as the Fragmentary Annals of Ireland and the Annals of the Four Masters were also complied at later dates , in part from more contemporary material and in part from fragments of sagas . According to Downham : " apart from these additions [ of saga fragments ] , Irish chronicles are considered by scholars to be largely accurate records , albeit partisan in their presentation of events " . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-1829 | The same day in July , <unk> Gillespie , an FBI analyst working in the CTC , was told to review material about the Malaysia meeting . She was not told of the participants ' presence in the U.S. However , the CIA did give Gillespie surveillance photos of Mihdhar and Hazmi from the meeting to show to FBI counterterrorism , but did not tell her their significance . The <unk> database informed her not to share intelligence material on the meeting to criminal investigators . When shown the photos , the FBI were refused more details on their significance , and also did not receive Mihdhar 's date of birth or passport number . In late August 2001 , Gillespie told the INS , the State Department , the Customs Service , and the FBI to put Hazmi and Mihdhar on their watchlists , but the FBI was prohibited from using criminal agents in the search for the duo , which hindered their efforts . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-1831 | During the winter of 1895 @-@ 96 , the New York Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor researched the causes of youth moving from the country to cities to develop the most efficient method of attracting them back to the country . That , and an examination of agricultural needs for a year , resulted in meetings at the homes of Abram S. Hewitt and R. Fulton Cutting and the formation of the New York State Committee for the Promotion of Agriculture . The committee , chaired by Hewitt , included Cutting , Jacob H. Schiff , John G. Carlisle , Mrs. Seth Low , Josephine Shaw Lowell , Walter Law and William E. Dodge . Its board of trustees had five officers ( with Theodore L. Van Norden president ) and seventeen other trustees , including Law , V. Everit Macy and James Speyer . George T. Powell , a " recognized authority on scientific agriculture " according to The New York Times , was consulted ; he later organized the school and became its director . When Walter Law was included the school took shape , since he provided its land and building . In September 1900 , Law and the committee established the School of Practical Agriculture and Horticulture as part of Briarcliff Farms , on an elevated 66 @-@ acre ( 27 ha ) site about midway between the Briarcliff Manor and Pleasantville train stations on Pleasantville Road . Law leased the 66 acres ( which were worth $ 1 @,@ 000 ( $ 28 @,@ 400 in 2015 ) an acre ) for 20 years at the rate of a dollar per year , gave the trustees $ 30 @,@ 000 ( $ 853 @,@ 300 in 2015 ) to build a dormitory and promised them $ 3 @,@ 000 ( $ 85 @,@ 300 in 2015 ) a year for expenses until the school earned a profit . With that and $ 30 @,@ 000 from the trustees , the school opened ; the committee focused the curriculum on horticulture , floriculture , gardening and aviculture . The school 's progress was followed by members of the public interested in agricultural education . | wikipedia-2018 |

Eventually three Social Democrats continued there ; the Parliament was called a " Rump Parliament " . In May 1918 , the Senate asked the German troops to remain in Finland , but overall the 3 March Treaty of Brest @-@ Litovsk and the 7 March 1918 German @-@ Finnish agreements bound White Finland to the power sphere of the German Empire .

wikipedia_2018-1837 | In the next two decades there would be two Persian invasions of Greece , including some of the most famous battles in history . During the first invasion , Thrace , Macedon and the Aegean islands were added to the Persian Empire , and Eretria was duly destroyed . However , the invasion ended in 490 BC with the decisive Athenian victory at the Battle of Marathon . Between the two invasions , Darius died , and responsibility for the war passed to his son Xerxes I. Xerxes then led the second invasion personally in 480 BC , taking an enormous ( although oft @-@ exaggerated ) army and navy to Greece . Those Greeks who chose to resist ( the ' Allies ' ) were defeated in the twin battles of Thermopylae and Artemisium on land and at sea respectively . All of Greece except the Peloponnesus thus fell into Persian hands , but then seeking to finally destroy the Allied navy , the Persians suffered a decisive defeat at the Battle of Salamis . The following year , 479 BC , the Allies assembled the largest Greek army yet seen and defeated the Persian invasion force at the Battle of Plataea , ending the invasion and the threat to Greece . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-1838 | Among the influences of the verdict include Sega v. Accolade 's effect on the criteria for fair use and the responsibilities of trademark holders in legal examinations . Although Accolade had copied entire Genesis games in order to identify the TMSS , the court gave little weight to the criterion on the amount of the copyrighted work being copied , in light of the fact that Accolade had done so in order to create their own compatible software . Likewise , the nature of the work was also given less weight , essentially establishing a two @-@ factor approach to evaluating fair use in the purpose of use and impact on the market . It was also the first time that the Lanham Act was interpreted to mean that confusion resulting from the placement of one 's trademark on another work by means of a security program is the fault of the original registrant of the trademark . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-1839 | The base of the archipelago fleet was initially traditional galleys , but the war of 1741 – 43 and the war in Pomerania 1757 – 62 had revealed some inherent weaknesses : their firepower was inadequate , they were inefficient in terms of manpower , had poor protection for the crew and were not particularly seaworthy . During the Pomeranian War " gun barges " ( skottpråmar ) , heavily armed , oar @-@ driven , flat @-@ bottomed broadside vessels with a shallow draft , had been tried to compensate for the lack of firepower in the galleys , but had proven far too slow to be effective . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-1843 | Edwin 's conversion and Eorpwald 's were reversed by their successors , and in the case of Northumbria the Roman Paulinus appears to have had very little impact . Indeed , by expelling British clergy from Elmet and elsewhere in Edwin 's realm , Paulinus may have weakened the Church rather than strengthening it . Very few Roman clergy were present in Paulinus 's time , only James the Deacon being known , so that the " conversion " can have been only superficial , extending little beyond the royal court . Paulinus 's decision to flee Northumbria at Edwin 's death , unlike his acolyte James who remained in Northumbria for many years afterwards until his death , suggests that the conversion was not popular , and the senior Italian cleric unloved . | wikipedia-2018 |

Following a landing near Gona , on the north coast of New Guinea , on the night of 21 / 22 July , Japanese forces attempted to advance south overland through the mountains of the Owen Stanley Range to seize Port Moresby as part of a strategy of isolating Australia from the United States , resulting in a series of battles during the Kokoda Track campaign . From that point the importance of Kanga Force 's operations around Salamaua and Wau declined , with the direct threat posed by the landings dictating that the limited forces and supplies available to the Australians be concentrated on Port Moresby . Lieutenant General Sydney Rowell took over command of New Guinea Force from Morris on 12 August at the height of the fighting . The 2 / 6th Independent Company had arrived in Port Moresby on 7 August and it had been planned to send them forward to Wau to reinforce Kanga Force . However , with the Japanese threat against Port Moresby growing increasingly serious they were held in reserve there instead , while Kanga Force would be required to continue to hold on with the limited resources available to them . Meanwhile , as food was not getting through to Kanga Force , the soldiers of the NGVR became increasingly dependent on local supplies . Japanese air raids against their supply dumps , intimidation of the local inhabitants , large scale desertions of native carriers , and the inherent difficulty of getting supplies forward to feed those carriers that remained combined to threaten to stop their operations altogether . | wikipedia-2018 |
