Bungie estimated between two and three million players for the upcoming Reach beta , compared to the 800 @,@ 000 that participated in Halo 3 's trial . Development schedules forced Bungie to release a six @-@ week @-@ old beta , fraught with bugs and issues already addressed in newer builds . Though concerned that these issues might tarnish the game 's image , Jarrard noted that they had little choice but to ship it as it was and communicate with players concerning the fixes . | wikipedia-2018 |

The Spanish did not officially contact the Itza again until the arrival of Franciscan priests in 1618 , when Cortés ' cross was said to still be standing at Nojpetén . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-2804 | When Parliament convened in January , the Liberals introduced no major proposals , and proposed nothing controversial . Diefenbaker turned over his parliamentary duties to British Columbia MP Howard Green and spent much of his time on the road making speeches across the country . Diefenbaker toured a nation in which Liberal support at the provincial level had slowly been eroding . When the Liberals gained Federal power in 1935 , they controlled eight of the nine provincial governments , all except Alberta . By early 1957 , the Liberals controlled the legislatures only in the tenth province , Newfoundland , and in Prince Edward Island and Manitoba . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-2805 | Engaged largely in counter @-@ insurgency warfare , the Southern Rhodesians became well @-@ drilled in the relevant principles and doctrines . They noticeably bolstered the hitherto thinly spread ranks of the SAS in Malaya , and performed strongly in the eyes of their superiors , though British Major C L " Dare " Newell believed that their attitude towards " the aborigines " was colder than that of the British soldiers . Barbara Cole , who wrote a history of the Rhodesian SAS , says by contrast that the Rhodesians became close friends with the Fijians they served alongside , and spent far more time socialising with black and mixed @-@ race soldiers off @-@ duty than their British counterparts did . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-2806 | Catastrophic injuries are not common in American football . According to the National Center for Catastrophic Sport Injury Research , there were 468 non @-@ fatal injuries resulting in permanent neurological damage across all high school sports in the United States from 1982 to 2011 . In football , catastrophic injuries are rare but are devastating when they occur . The rate of catastrophic head injuries has remained low since the introduction of the modern football helmet in the 1970s , but rates of injury are much higher at the high school level than the college level . A 2007 study found that , in high school and college football , there are an average of 7 @.@ 23 catastrophic head injuries per year : there were 0 @.@ 67 injuries per 100 @,@ 000 high school players and 0 @.@ 21 injuries per 100 @,@ 000 college players . Over a 13 @-@ year period from September 1989 to June 2002 , there were 94 players who sustained catastrophic head injuries — 8 of these players died as a result of the injury , 46 sustained permanent neurological damage , and 36 made a full recovery . Fifty @-@ nine percent of these players had a history of head injuries , 71 % of them occurring in the same season as their catastrophic injury , and most of the catastrophic injuries resulted from being tackled or making a tackle . The study recommended that players exhibiting neurological symptoms should be strongly discouraged from returning to play . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-2808 | The song 's unconventional release , carried out " in classic Radiohead fashion " according to Mehan Jayasuriya of PopMatters , was praised by The Guardian 's John Harris : " Welcome , once again , to the future of popular music : no need for albums , or marketing campaigns , or grand announcements — just a song by Radiohead , recorded mere weeks ago , premiered on yesterday 's Today programme , and now available to download . " Caleb <unk> of Wired noted the song 's " abrupt creation " and the sudden announcement of The King of Limbs as part of Radiohead 's move towards an unpredictable release schedule for new recorded material . In a feature for The Quietus , Wyndham Wallace argues that the track 's release is in line with broader music industry trends towards " instant gratification " , kick @-@ started by the digital release of Radiohead 's previous album In Rainbows . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-2809 | In February 1944 , the Japanese Combined Fleet withdrew from its base at Truk in the Central Pacific to Palau and Singapore . The appearance of a powerful Japanese naval force at Singapore concerned the Allies , as it was feared that these ships could potentially conduct raids in the Indian Ocean and against Western Australia . In response , the Allies strengthened their naval and air forces in the area by transferring two British light cruisers from the Atlantic and Mediterranean as well as several U.S. Navy warships from the Pacific . The number of air units in Ceylon and the Bay of Bengal region was also increased . Admiral James Somerville , the commander of the British Eastern Fleet , feared that the Japanese would repeat their devastating Indian Ocean raid of early 1942 , and on 25 February requested permission to withdraw his fleet from its base at Trincomalee so that it was not at risk from the larger Japanese force . The Admiralty rejected this request , and directed that the fleet should remain at Trincomalee unless it was threatened by a superior Japanese force as its withdrawal would affect morale and harm Britain 's prestige in the region . It was agreed , however , that the Eastern Fleet should not engage superior Japanese forces and could withdraw if Somerville judged this necessary . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-2810 | In 1990 , the Long Island Regional Planning Board came up with a proposed multibillion @-@ dollar plan to expand the capacities of state and county highways and to improve all major roads to " satisfactory " levels by 2010 . The proposal also revisited the idea of extending the Seaford – Oyster Bay Expressway to NY 25A in Oyster Bay via the right @-@ of @-@ way bought in the 1960s . NYSDOT reconsidered the idea a decade later in 2000 , saying it would relieve congestion in the area . They indicated that the extension may be built as either a " full @-@ build " expressway or a four @-@ lane arterial boulevard to NY 25A . However , there are no plans to do either at this time . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-2817 | The location was conveniently close to the main railway line between Calais and Saint @-@ Omer , the canalised River Aa , main roads and electric grid lines . Situated 177 kilometres ( 110 mi ) from London , it was far enough inland to be safe from naval guns and it was sheltered to an extent by a ridge that rises to a height of 90 metres ( 300 ft ) to the north . At nearby Saint @-@ Omer , there was a major Luftwaffe base which was capable of providing air defence for the area . There were existing gravel and sand quarries as well as cement works in the vicinity , which would help with the enormous amount of material that would be needed for the construction works . The quantities required were very substantial indeed ; 200 @,@ 000 tons of concrete and 20 @,@ 000 tons of steel would be required to build the facility . When US Army Major General Lewis H. Brereton inspected the site after it had been captured by the Allies , he described the bunker as " more extensive than any concrete constructions we have in the United States , with the possible exception of Boulder Dam .

wikipedia_2018-2819 | Maestoso is one of the most difficult pieces in the set . Stamina and strength are required to sustain a full resonant sound , while the continuous thirty @-@ second figure can be tiring for the pianist . Consistent tempo is a problem for this piece , due to the melody being interspersed with two other elements . Additionally , the dynamics , mostly " loud " and " very loud , " indicate that an accurate vision of relative volume is necessary . Maintaining this accuracy while managing every other element of the piece and successfully presenting a musically solid performance continues to be the ultimate challenge of all . | wikipedia-2018 |

This provides information to the surface that the diver is about to ascend , and where he is . This equipment is commonly used by recreational and technical divers , and requires a certain level of skill to operate safely . They are mostly used to signal the boat that the diver has started ascent or to indicate a problem in technical diving . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-2821 | The nucleolus is a discrete densely stained structure found in the nucleus . It is not surrounded by a membrane , and is sometimes called a <unk> . It forms around tandem repeats of rDNA , DNA coding for ribosomal RNA ( rRNA ) . These regions are called nucleolar organizer regions ( NOR ) . The main roles of the nucleolus are to synthesize rRNA and assemble ribosomes . The structural cohesion of the nucleolus depends on its activity , as ribosomal assembly in the nucleolus results in the transient association of nucleolar components , facilitating further ribosomal assembly , and hence further association . This model is supported by observations that inactivation of rDNA results in intermingling of nucleolar structures . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-2823 | Working generally with much smaller budgets , brothers Joel and Ethan Coen have created one of the most extensive film oeuvres influenced by classic noir , with films such as Blood Simple ( 1984 ) and Fargo ( 1996 ) , considered by some a supreme work in the neo @-@ noir mode . The Coens cross noir with other generic lines in the gangster drama Miller 's Crossing ( 1990 ) — loosely based on the Dashiell Hammett novels Red Harvest and The Glass Key — and the comedy The Big Lebowski ( 1998 ) , a tribute to Chandler and an homage to Altman 's version of The Long Goodbye . The characteristic work of David Lynch combines film noir tropes with scenarios driven by disturbed characters such as the sociopathic criminal played by Dennis Hopper in Blue Velvet ( 1986 ) and the <unk> protagonist of Lost Highway ( 1997 ) . The Twin Peaks cycle , both TV series ( 1990 – 91 ) and film , Fire Walk with Me ( 1992 ) , puts a detective plot through a succession of bizarre spasms . David Cronenberg also mixes surrealism and noir in Naked Lunch ( 1991 ) , inspired by the William S. Burroughs novel . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-2824 | Rodríguez Vergara observes that the General is like a supernatural being , simultaneously dying and being surrounded by symbolic circumstances such as rain , fiestas , and the plague . The novel begins with Bolívar immersed in purifying waters , in a state of ecstasy and meditation that suggests a priestly ritual . One of the women with whom the General sleeps , Queen Marie Louise , is described as a virgin with the profile of an idol — an allusion to the Virgin Mary . The General rides a mule into the last towns on his journey towards death , echoing Christ 's entry into Jerusalem . He dies of mysterious and unknown causes , and the people burn his belongings in fear of catching his illness . In Rodríguez Vergara 's view , " Bolívar was sacrificed as a scapegoat to purge the guilt of the community . " | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-2836 | Mallikarjuna , a Jain ascetic , compiled an anthology of poems called <unk> ( " Gems from the poets " ) in 1245 in the court of King Vira Someshwara . Some interesting observations have been made by scholars about this important undertaking . While the anthology itself provides insight into poetic tastes of that period ( and hence qualifies as a " history of Kannada literature " ) , it also performs the function of a " guide for poets " , an assertive method of bridging the gap between courtly literary intelligentsia and folk poetry . Being a guide for " professional intellectuals " , the work , true to its nature , often includes poems eulogising kings and royalty but completely ignoring poems of the 12th @-@ century vachana canon ( Veerashaiva folk literature ) . However , the selection of poems includes contributions from Harihara , the non @-@ conformist Veerashaiva writer . This suggests a compromise by which the author attempts to include the " rebels " . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-2837 | The barracks consists of two levels , with rifle firing holes on all sides . Iron shutters closed on the inside and were locked with wooden beams . In 1885 the verandah facing the manning parade was enclosed with wooden shutters to keep the weather out . These shutters were removed during 20th @-@ century restoration work and the verandah returned to original condition . The roof was at first flat timber overlaid by 12 inches ( 30 cm ) of lime concrete . This first roof leaked and an iron roof was added in 1885 . The first floor of the barracks contains the officer 's rooms and troop 's barracks room . Its eastern ( outer ) wall is not flat , incorporating a design feature known as " hornwork " , which opens the field of fire from the rifle holes . Some of the firing holes were bricked in during the 1930s ; this has been only partly rectified during restoration . | wikipedia-2018 |

There were also reports of battles fought with primitive gunpowder bombs like the incendiary huopao or the exploding <unk> , incendiary arrows , and other related weapons . In northern China , the Jurchen tribes were the ruling minority of an empire that was predominantly inhabited by former subjects of the Northern Song . Jurchen migrants settled in the conquered territories and assimilated with the local culture .

Multiple reviewers likened the book to a combination of sci @-@ fi / fantasy works such as Star Wars and The Lord of the Rings and classic works of literature such as Romeo and Juliet , Hamlet and the New Testament . AICN singled @-@ out the use of the newborn Hazel as a lone individual to chronicle large @-@ scale events from a past perspective , and Alex Zalben of MTV Geek remarking that he could hear a John Williams score as he read the book . Multiple reviewers also lauded Vaughan for beginning the story with Hazel 's birth rather than hurting the story 's pace with copious exposition of Alana and Marko 's initial meeting and courtship . Todd Allen of The Beat approved of the book 's unique " flavor " , singling out the characters ' motivations , the <unk> of its surrealist setting , the strangeness of the story 's various oddities and the timely nature of the story 's political undertones . Both Alex Evans of Weekly Comic Book Review and P. S. Hayes of Geeks of Doom called the series a " classic " ; Hayes also praised Image Comics for publishing such an " original " series . Also widely praised was Fiona Staples ' artwork , which was characterized as " glorious " , with Zalben predicting that readers would " fall head over heels in love " with it , and Greg McElhatton of Comic Book Resources positively comparing it to that of <unk> Francis Yu , specifically her use of delicate lines to frame characters with large , bold figures and Staples ' mixture of the familiar and the foreign together in her character designs to create a visually cohesive universe .

wikipedia_2018-2895 | There are five species similar in appearance to G. maritimus : G. arenophilus , G. decipiens , G. flavus , G. fulgens and G. <unk> . G. arenophilus and particularly G. fulgens are the most similar . Though G. maritimus and G. arenophilus show similarities in their biogeography and ecology , the typically slightly smaller G. arenophilus differs from G. maritimus morphologically . While G. maritimus has a cap covered in fibrils with small scales , G. arenophilus can sometimes be completely smooth , and spore ornamentation differs , with G. maritimus typically displaying larger warts . Like G. maritimus , G. fulgens has been recorded growing on sand @-@ dune heathland ; further , the spores are similar in appearance to those of G. maritimus . However , G. fulgens requires soil rich in peat and must grow among moss . Moreover , there are a number of morphological differences ; G. maritimus mushrooms are larger and thicker , there are never remains of the partial veil on G. fulgens stems , the shape of the top of the spores differs between the two species , and the cheilocystidia and caulocystidia are significantly larger on G. maritimus . G. fulgens var. <unk> is even more distinct from G. maritimus than the nominate variety . Despite the similarities between the three species , the three have been shown to be in different clades within Gymnopilus , suggesting ecological convergence between G. arenophilus and G. maritimus , and morphological convergence between G. fulgens and G. maritimus . | wikipedia-2018 |
