wikipedia_2018-2300 | By the late 1990s , δ18O records of air ( in the Vostok ice core ) and marine sediments was available and was compared with estimates of insolation , which should affect both temperature and ice volume . As described by Shackleton ( 2000 ) , the deep @-@ sea sediment record of δ18O " is dominated by a 100 @,@ 000 @-@ year <unk> that is universally interpreted as the main ice @-@ age rhythm " . Shackleton ( 2000 ) adjusted the time scale of the Vostok ice core δ18O record to fit the assumed orbital forcing and used spectral analysis to identify and subtract the component of the record that in this interpretation could be attributed to a linear ( directly proportional ) response to the orbital forcing . The residual signal ( the remainder ) , when compared with the residual from a similarly retuned marine core isotope record , was used to estimate the proportion of the signal that was attributable to ice volume , with the rest ( having attempted to allow for the Dole effect ) being attributed to temperature changes in the deep water . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-2301 | When the crew of the battleship Potemkin mutinied in June 1905 , the ship 's crew was considered unreliable and she did not participate in the pursuit of the Potemkin . Chesma did , however , escort Potemkin as Sinop towed her back to Sevastopol from Constanța , Romania , where Potemkin had sought asylum . Chesma was turned over to the Sevastopol port authorities before being stricken on 14 August 1907 . Before she was fully dismantled the Naval Ministry decided to use her hull for full @-@ scale armour trials . She was re @-@ designated as Stricken Vessel Nr. 4 on 22 April 1912 before being used as a gunnery target . Afterwards the ship served as a torpedo target for the destroyers of the Black Sea Fleet . During these attacks Chesma settled to the bottom of the Bay of Tendra and was eventually scrapped during the mid @-@ 1920s . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-2311 | Early critics , such as Thomas Campbell in 1838 , saw this " constant " allusion to theatre as an indication that Prospero was meant to represent Shakespeare ; the character 's renunciation of magic thus signaling Shakespeare 's farewell to the stage . This theory persists among later critics , and remains solidly within the critical canon . Curious , however , since ( if familiar with Shakespeare 's entire body of <unk> literary scholars must surely be ) , it can , then , be easily noted even to the layperson that this technique / comparison with the theatre is one Shakespeare employed often , and in many , if not all , of his writings . Among the many examples are these two noteworthy ones : " All the world 's a stage , and all of <unk> players ( actors , performers ) " is a phrase that begins the monologue from Shakespeare 's As You Like It , and is spoken by the melancholy Jacques in Scene VII of Act II . Another example is found during the final act of Macbeth , when the title character delivers his monologue that has come to be known as " The Tomorrow & Tomorrow Speech " . In it , toward the end of this monologue , Macbeth ruminates on the ( seeming ) futility of existence when declaring that " ... ( Life ) is like a poor <unk> who struts and frets his hour upon the stage , and then is heard no more " . Shakespeare seems to be likening a hopeful performer 's " 15 @-@ minutes of fame " and ( usually ) subsequent decline into obscurity with how fleeting and how utterly fast ones life goes by ... proceeding at such a fast pace as to make both life and the accomplishments therein seem not only irrelevant and relatively trivial , but momentary as well . It would , then , seem as though the actual value in making such references would not be so the writer could compare his or her own writing with itself or even with himself ... or even to compare the stageplay with itself ... but would be , rather , to notice the similarities that life in itself has to the theatre in order to help people to compare the likeness of the ( individual ) play ( and / or theatre in general ) with life as a <unk> all its anti @-@ mimetic likenesses and parallels and dramas contained therein . After all , numerous literary figures have noted that , " Life imitates art " . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-2316 | In a 2001 interview with Howard Stern , Rollins was asked about rumors that he had Joe Cole 's brain in his house . Rollins stated that he only has the soil from the spot Cole was killed . During the interview , Rollins also speculated that the reason they were targeted may have been because days prior to the incident , record producer Rick Rubin - who was a fan of Rollins Band - had requested to hear the then newly recorded album , The End of Silence , and turned up and parked outside their Venice Beach home in his Rolls @-@ Royce , carrying a cell phone . Because of the notoriety of the neighborhood , Rollins suspected that this would bring trouble because of the implication that they had a lot of money in the home ; he even wrote in his journal the night of Rubin 's visit : " My place is going to get popped " . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-2319 | Views superficially similar , but unrelated to Hoyle 's , are thus invariably justified with arguments from analogy . The basic idea of this argument for a designer is the teleological argument , an argument for the existence of God based on the perceived order or purposefulness of the universe . A common way of using this as an objection to evolution is by appealing to the 18th @-@ century philosopher William Paley 's watchmaker analogy , which argues that certain natural phenomena are analogical to a watch ( in that they are ordered , or complex , or purposeful ) , which means that , like a watch , they must have been designed by a " watchmaker " — an intelligent agent . This argument forms the core of intelligent design , a neo @-@ creationist movement seeking to establish certain variants of the design argument as legitimate science , rather than as philosophy or theology , and have them be taught alongside evolution . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-2321 | Enghien and d 'Avalos had arranged their armies along two parallel ridges ; because of the topography of the battlefield , many of the individual actions of the battle were uncoordinated with one another . The battle opened with several hours of skirmishing between opposing bands of arquebusiers and an ineffectual artillery exchange , after which d 'Avalos ordered a general advance . In the center , Imperial landsknechts clashed with French and Swiss infantry , with both sides suffering terrific casualties . In the southern part of the battlefield , Italian infantry in Imperial service were harried by French cavalry attacks and withdrew after learning that the Imperial troops of the center had been defeated . In the north , meanwhile , the French infantry line crumbled , and Enghien led a series of ineffectual and costly cavalry charges against Spanish and German infantry before the latter were forced to surrender by the arrival of the victorious Swiss and French infantry from the center . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-2325 | The Zoo TV stages were designed by Willie Williams , U2 's stage designer since the War Tour of 1982 – 1983 . In place of U2 's austere and minimalist productions of the 1980s , the Zoo TV stage was a complex setup , designed to instill " sensory overload " in its audience .

wikipedia_2018-2329 | One of Wollstonecraft 's most scathing criticisms in the Rights of Woman is against false and excessive sensibility , particularly in women . She argues that women who succumb to sensibility are " blown about by every momentary gust of feeling " ; because these women are " the prey of their senses " , they cannot think rationally . In fact , not only do they do harm to themselves but they also do harm to all of civilisation : these are not women who can refine civilisation – these are women who will destroy it . But reason and feeling are not independent for Wollstonecraft ; rather , she believes that they should inform each other . For Wollstonecraft , as for the important 18th @-@ century philosopher David Hume , the passions underpin all reason . This was a theme that she would return to throughout her career , but particularly in her novels Mary : A Fiction ( 1788 ) and Maria : or , The Wrongs of Woman . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-2336 | The minstrel show marked the beginning of a long tradition of African American music being appropriated for popular audiences , and was the first distinctly American form of music to find international acclaim , in the mid @-@ 19th century . As Donald Clarke has noted , minstrel shows contained " essentially black music , while the most successful acts were white , so that songs and dances of black origin were imitated by white performers and then taken up by black performers , who thus to some extent ended up imitating themselves " . Clarke attributes the use of blackface to a desire for white Americans to glorify the brutal existence of both free and slave blacks by depicting them as happy and carefree individuals , best suited to plantation life and the performance of simple , joyous songs that easily appealed to white audiences .

wikipedia_2018-2346 | Rutherford remained on the university senate until 1927 , when he was elected Chancellor . The position was the titular head of the university , and its primary duty was presiding over convocations . According to Rutherford biographer Douglas Babcock , this was the honour that Rutherford prized most . He was acclaimed to the position every four years until his death . It has been estimated that he awarded degrees to more than five thousand students . His final convocation , however , was marred by controversy : in 1941 , a committee of the university senate recommended awarding an honorary degree to Premier William Aberhart . Aberhart was pleased , and happily accepted University President William Alexander Robb Kerr 's invitation to deliver the commencement address at convocation . However , a week prior to convocation the full senate — responsible for all university academic affairs — met , and voted against awarding Aberhart a degree . Aberhart rescinded his acceptance of Kerr 's invitation ( and later removed the senate 's authority — except , ironically , the authority to award honorary degrees ) and Kerr resigned in protest . Rutherford was mortified , but presided over convocation nonetheless . | wikipedia-2018 |
