wikipedia_2018-2402 | Evidence also demonstrates Mölders ' propensity to value friendships over political expediency . According to Viktor Mölders , his brother had saved Georg Küch , one of Werner Mölders ' closest friends , who had been classified as a half @-@ Jew by the Nuremberg Laws , from death in the concentration camps . Mölders ' and Küch 's friendship dated to their school days at the Saldria @-@ Gymnasium in Brandenburg an der Havel . Küch 's mother , Alice née Siegel , was of Jewish birth . Küch 's father , Richard Küch , owned and operated a pharmacy in Brandenburg . Georg , himself a pharmacy student , was expelled from university under the Nuremberg Laws , just two semesters shy of his graduation . In 1940 , Richard Küch fell ill , and owning and operating the pharmacy became a bureaucratic problem for the family . Georg Küch contacted his friend Mölders in mid @-@ February 1941 , asking for help . Werner Mölders immediately responded to Küch on 16 February 1941 , stating that he had taken care of the matter and asking Küch not to pursue the issue on his own . When Richard Küch died in June 1941 , his wife was able to sell the pharmacy for fair market value . Normally , since she was Jewish , it would have been confiscated . She also remained exempt from wearing the detested yellow badge until late 1943 . She was then taken to the Theresienstadt concentration camp , where she worked as a cook . Georg Küch , Alice Küch , and Georg 's sister Friedel survived the Holocaust . Friedel Küch repeatedly stated that Werner Mölders had been responsible for protecting the family ; the mantle of his protection had persisted beyond his death . The MGFA ruled this assertion " highly speculative , " and did not investigate further . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-2404 | Finger did not receive the same recognition . While he had received credit for other DC work since the 1940s , he began , in the 1960s , to receive limited acknowledgment for his Batman writing ; in the letters page of Batman # 169 ( February 1965 ) for example , editor Julius Schwartz names him as the creator of the Riddler , one of Batman 's recurring villains . However , Finger 's contract left him only with his writing page rate and no byline . Kane wrote , " Bill was disheartened by the lack of major accomplishments in his career . He felt that he had not used his creative potential to its fullest and that success had passed him by . " At the time of Finger 's death in 1974 , DC had not officially credited Finger as Batman co @-@ creator . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-2405 | Brasenose 's finances entered the second half of the century in poor shape , and considerably worse than the period between 1930 and 1931 , slipping relative to other colleges from 3rd to 8th . But they were improved during Last 's tenure , along with undergraduate admissions ; the college showed a surplus in 1952 – 53 , and income in 1957 ( £ 104 @,@ 000 ) was double what it had been in 1938 . Pay for fellows was still poor , and they were small in number compared to other colleges . There was a sizeable entertainment budget , however , something which , combined with the long hours , have contributed to short lifespans . Only in 1987 did a sitting fellow reach retirement age . Last resigned as Principal in 1956 , dying shortly after . Turnover was considerable , although some fellows stayed on : Maurice <unk> became Principal in 1956 , and retired in 1960 ; he was replaced by Sir Noel Hall . Hall 's tenure was troubled , not externally , but rather from Hall 's patchy knowledge of the college and staff ; his selection , <unk> de mieux , was sometimes questioned , although he remained well @-@ liked . However , the college , which had thus far stayed assured , found itself in a changing environment . Herbert Hart , however , Principal between 1973 and 1978 , was the first to be elected from outside Brasenose . Lord Windlesham , made principal in 1989 , was the first to hold Cabinet Office . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-2407 | At the time of his death , Kennedy was substantially behind Humphrey in convention delegate support , but many believe that Kennedy would have ultimately secured the nomination following his victory in the California primary . Only thirteen states held primaries that year , meaning that most delegates at the Democratic convention could choose a candidate based on their personal preference . Historian Arthur M. Schlesinger , Jr . , and others have argued that Kennedy 's broad appeal and charisma would have been sufficiently convincing at the 1968 Democratic National Convention to give him the nomination . Historian Michael <unk> believed , however , that Kennedy would not have secured the nomination . Humphrey , after a National Convention in Chicago marred by violence in the streets , was far behind in opinion polls but gained ground . He ultimately lost the general election to Republican Richard Nixon by the narrow popular vote margin of 43 @.@ 4 % to 42 @.@ 7 % . Nixon won by a more decisive 301 @-@ 191 margin in the electoral vote . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-2412 | Once H. pylori is detected in a person with a peptic ulcer , the normal procedure is to eradicate it and allow the ulcer to heal . The standard first @-@ line therapy is a one @-@ week " triple therapy " consisting of proton pump inhibitors such as <unk> and the antibiotics clarithromycin and amoxicillin . Variations of the triple therapy have been developed over the years , such as using a different proton pump inhibitor , as with <unk> or <unk> , or replacing amoxicillin with metronidazole for people who are allergic to penicillin . Such a therapy has revolutionized the treatment of peptic ulcers and has made a cure to the disease possible . Previously , the only option was symptom control using antacids , H2 @-@ antagonists or proton pump inhibitors alone . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-2414 | A popular actress in Hollywood , Pinto remains a relatively little @-@ known figure in India ; critics and analysts have attributed the fact to the failure of Slumdog Millionaire in the country . Indian sociologist Ashis Nandy remarked : " My periscope does not pick her up " , while journalist Khalid Mohamed stated : " She is not a factor in Mumbai . " The Indian media has criticised her " fluctuating " accents — in Hindi and English — and attributed her inability to find roles in Bollywood to her dark complexion . Despite these criticisms , Pinto has been credited by the media for having avoided being stereotyped as an Indian in Hollywood , as she often plays characters of other nationalities . In a 2012 interview with Hindustan Times , she said she consciously avoids roles that depict stereotypes . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-2415 | Fenn 's work with electrospray ionization was at the center of a lawsuit pitting him against his alma mater and former employer , Yale University . His initial dispute with the university began in 1987 , when he turned 70 - Yale 's mandatory retirement age . Per university policy , Fenn was made an emeritus professor , which resulted in a reduction to his lab space . Emeritus professors at Yale are still provided with an office , but cannot conduct their own research , nor manage their own labs . In 1989 , when Yale University inquired about the progress and potential about his electrospray work , he downplayed its potential scientific and commercial value . Fenn believed he had the rights to the invention under the Bayh @-@ Dole Act . Fenn patented the technology on his own , and sold licensing rights to a company he partly owned - <unk> . In 1993 , a private company seeking to license the use of electrospray technology traced its invention to Yale , when the university discovered that Fenn held the patent . Yale 's policy regarding patents generated by faculty or students requires that a percentage of any royalties generated from the patent are used by the university to fund future research . They do not claim the rights to patents that are produced away from university facilities or not related to the researcher 's " designated activities . " Fenn claimed that he owned the technology because the work was completed after he had been forced to downsize at the university 's mandatory retirement age . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-2417 | Small attacks set the course of the early running of the stage , with the field remaining as a whole for the first half @-@ hour of racing after several attacks were closed down before a gap could be established . It was not until the Col de Menté that the early foundations of a breakaway were laid with the two mountains classification combatants , Team Europcar 's Thomas Voeckler and Fredrik Kessiakoff of Astana again battling it out for points ; Voeckler prevailed ahead of Kessiakoff . The two riders were also a part of a seven @-@ rider breakaway that formed on the descent from the climb . The group was also bolstered for a time by Liquigas – Cannondale rider Vincenzo Nibali , third place in the general classification behind Team Sky duo Bradley Wiggins and Chris Froome , but he eventually sat up from the group as the breakaway was not likely to be given an advantage if Nibali was in the group . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-2418 | Giordano was named the 19th captain in Flames history on September 20 , 2013 , as he succeeded Jarome Iginla , who was traded late in the 2012 – 13 season .

After a dispute with Mojo , Limp Bizkit signed with Flip , a subsidiary of Interscope Records . Arvizu persuaded Ross Robinson to listen to the demo . Robinson neglected to listen to it until it was appraised by his girlfriend . Impressed by the band 's motivation and sound , Robinson produced Limp Bizkit 's debut , which was recorded at Indigo Ranch . Durst 's problems with his girlfriend inspired him to write the song " Sour " . The mood and tone set by Robinson in the studio allowed the band to improvise ; a recording of the band improvising appeared as the last track on the album , " Everything " . | wikipedia-2018 |

Then Wakaba dies in a swimming accident at a summer camp during fifth grade . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-2425 | Contact with extraterrestrial intelligence would not be completely inconsequential for religion . The Peters study showed that most non @-@ religious people , and a significant majority of religious people , believe that the world could face a religious crisis , even if their own beliefs were unaffected . Contact with extraterrestrial intelligence would be most likely to cause a problem for western religions , in particular traditionalist Christianity , because of the geocentric nature of western faiths . The discovery of extraterrestrial life would not contradict basic conceptions of God , however , and seeing that science has challenged established dogma in the past , for example with the theory of evolution and the teachings of Giordano Bruno , it is likely that existing religions will adapt similarly to the new circumstances . In the view of Musso , however , a global religious crisis would be unlikely even for Abrahamic faiths , as the studies of himself and others on Christianity , the most " anthropocentric " religion , see no conflict between that religion and the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence . In addition , the cultural and religious values of extraterrestrial species would likely be shared over centuries if contact is to occur by radio , meaning that rather than causing a huge shock to humanity , such information would be viewed much as archaeologists and historians view ancient artifacts and texts . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-2426 | On 1 March , Diamandis unveiled the album artwork for the standard version of Electra Heart , which depicts a blonde Diamandis wearing several hair rollers . The singer later revealed that because of the dye , her hair started to fall out , so she got a boy 's haircut and wore a wig . Becky Bain from Idolator complimented its " retro film stock look " and opined that it " is just a snapshot from some 1970s exploitation movie " , while Bradley Stern from MuuMuse jokingly referenced the album track " Homewrecker " when stating that she " looks like a proper Suzy Homemaker ! ( Or should I say Suzy Homewrecker ? ) " The artwork for the deluxe version features the same picture of Diamandis , although it is tinted purple . The track listing for the standard version was confirmed on 1 March , while the track listing for the deluxe version was announced on 5 March .

wikipedia_2018-2430 | As of 2010 , the Conservancy was undertaking several programs to help breeders and the public understand the need for and the way to preserve heritage breeds . As the number of expert livestock breeders continues to dwindle , the Master Breeders ' Apprentice Program aims to supplement their number by educating competent and interested members of the public . Through the Breed Rescue and Conservation Acquisition Program , the organization works with breeders and breed registries to begin and sustain conservation programs for rare livestock breeds . The Southeastern Livestock Breed Initiative aims to expand and reintroduce rare breeds from the American southeast , combining traditional breeds with low @-@ impact farming ( agriculture that has a lesser impact on the environment than high @-@ intensity commercial farming ) to assist in restarting the small , niche market farming that once existed in the area . In 2014 , the Conservancy published the book An Introduction to Heritage Breeds describing conserving and care of animals under the purview of the organization , detailing each breed 's specific needs and characteristics . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-2431 | Johnson then removed Hutton for 57 without further addition to the total , caught by Bradman on the run , leaving England at 129 / 2 . The Yorkshire batsman went for a lofted shot and mistimed it high in the air after being beaten in flight , and the Australian captain ran backwards from mid @-@ on to complete the catch . This meant the two new batsmen at the crease , Edrich and Compton , were still yet to score , and the second new ball was only six overs away , so they had to preserve their wickets while conditions were at their most favourable for Australia 's fast bowlers . During a slow period in which only 15 runs came in half an hour , Edrich and Compton were pinned down by defensive field settings with no slips in place . After 45 minutes , Compton premeditated a charge down the pitch and hit Johnson to the leg side for a boundary . The pair accelerated , Compton taking risks in cutting Johnson against the spin . Australia took the new ball and each batsman hit a boundary to bring up the fifty partnership , which took an hour . Worried by the substantial and hazardous craters he and the other bowlers had created in the pitch while following through on the left @-@ hand side of the crease , Lindwall changed to bowling from around the wicket and was warned by umpire Baldwin for running on the pitch , before reverting to over the wicket , although he delivered from the edge of the crease to avoid the holes . O 'Reilly said Baldwin 's warning to Lindwall had played into Australia 's hands as the bowler 's follow through from around the wicket was accentuating a rough patch outside the right @-@ hander 's off stump , which the English bowlers could target when Bradman 's men had to chase the target . Compton then hit boundaries with hooks and pulls from Lindwall and Johnston and England went to tea at 209 / 2 . Compton was on 42 and Edrich 33 . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-2432 | While skate skiing , the skier provides propulsion on a firm snow surface by pushing alternating skis away from one another at an angle , in a manner similar to ice skating . Skis are waxed with a glide wax over their entire length , making them faster than classic skis . Freestyle events take place on smooth , wide specially groomed courses . With the skating technique double @-@ poling is usually employed with alternating skating strides or with every skate stride . The following table puts these poling sequences into order according to the speed achieved as a progression of " gears " . In the lowest gear ( rarely used in racing ) , one is poling on the side of the sliding ski , similar to diagonal stride . In the highest gear , the athlete skates without poles . There are equivalent terms in other languages ; for example in Norwegian , skating is likened to paddling or dancing , depending on the tempo . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-2433 | Gems eventually returned to the project , writing a total of 12 drafts of the script . Although he is credited with both the screen story and screenplay of Mars Attacks ! , Gems dedicates his novelization of the movie to Burton , who " co @-@ wrote the screenplay and didn 't ask for a credit " . Warner Bros. was dubious of the Martian dialogue and wanted Burton to add closed captioning subtitles , but he resisted . Working with Burton , Gems pared the film 's 60 leading characters down to 23 , and the worldwide destruction planned for the film was isolated to three major cities . Scenes featuring Martians attacking China , the Philippines , Japan , Europe , Africa , India , and Russia were deleted from the screenplay . " Bear in mind this was way before Independence Day ( 1996 ) was written , " Gems commented . " We had things like Manhattan being destroyed building by building , the White House went and so did the Empire State Building . Warner Bros. figured all this would be too expensive , so we cut most of that out to reduce the cost . " Howard Stern claimed that the film 's climax , where an attack by Martians was thwarted by playing Slim Whitman songs to them , was originally created by him when he worked at WNBC in 1982 , in a sketch named " Slim Whitman vs. The Midget Aliens From Mars . " As Burton listened to the sketch while being interviewed by Stern , he dismissed it as mere coincidence . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-2434 | Two days after casting Hirsch , Ioan Gruffudd was cast as Dr. Henry Morgan . Miller wanted the actors to read the script so that he could see whether the audience would believe that the man had been alive for over 200 years . The search for an actor to portray Henry was more difficult than Miller expected . Miller and Fiorentino unsuccessfully auditioned actors from New York City , Los Angeles , Canada , London , Australia , and South Africa for the role , but the role was <unk> . One day , Miller noticed Gruffudd in the carpool lane while they picked up their children from preschool . For Miller , Gruffudd 's period work , such as in the series Horatio Hornblower , made him an obvious selection for the role . Gruffudd liked the script and felt that he could portray Henry . The story , the science fiction element , and the believability also attracted Gruffudd to the role . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-2436 | The fact that the groups below the jagged line in the table above are constant along the diagonals is explained by the suspension theorem of Hans Freudenthal , which implies that the suspension homomorphism from πn + k ( Sn ) to πn + k + 1 ( Sn + 1 ) is an isomorphism for n > k + 1 .

Each larger house or dom , holding 70 @-@ 100 persons each , was constructed on roughly 41 @-@ hectare ( 100 @-@ acre ) plots of land that Verigin had divided the entire community into back in 1911 . The Doukhobors then constructed a brick factory at the present @-@ day site of Grand Forks , from where they made bricks to be used mostly in the Brilliant settlement . Brilliant was also one of the first cities in the area to have running water — they constructed a reservoir to hold water from the Kootenay River and a local spring , and by 1912 , each household had running water . In 1913 , Verigin converted an abandoned factory in Nelson , about 35 kilometres ( 22 mi ) up the Kootenay from Brilliant , to produce jam and marmalade . The Doukhobors then established a ferry across the Columbia River , and a suspension bridge serving the same purpose was completed in 1913 . Brilliant continued to be a major player in the lumber industry of the region , and before long , the settlement of Brilliant was prospering . | wikipedia-2018 |
