wikipedia_2018-3001 | From 1858 to 1865 Busch chiefly worked for the <unk> Blätter and the Münchener Bilderbogen . The period from 1866 to 1884 is characterized by his major illustrated stories , such as Helen Who Couldn 't Help It . These stories are different in theme from works of his earlier period . The life of his characters start well , but disintegrate , as in Painter Squirtle ( Maler Klecksel ) ; someone sensitive who becomes a pedant . Others concern recalcitrant children or animals , or make the great or significant foolish and ridiculous . The early stories follow the pattern of children 's books of orthodox education , such as those by Heinrich Hoffmann 's Struwwelpeter , that aim to teach the devastating consequences of bad behaviour . Busch did not assign value to his work , as he once explained to Heinrich Richter : " I look at my things for what they are , as Nuremberg trinkets [ toys ] , as <unk> <unk> [ worthless and useless things ] whose value is to be found not in its artistic content , but in public demand ( ... ) " . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-3006 | Before the introduction in 1913 of what became popularly known — " with <unk> taste " according to a correspondent writing in The Times — as the Jersey Act , Thoroughbred horses in the United Kingdom were registered in the General Stud Book , the stud book for British and Irish Thoroughbreds . The rules allowed a horse to be registered if all of the horse 's ancestors were registered in the General Stud Book or if it had been bred outside of Britain or Ireland and was registered in the stud book of its country of origin . Overall the General Stud Book had the most stringent rules for registration of Thoroughbreds at the time , around 1900 ; other countries , including the United States , France , Australia and Russia , were considered by the British and Irish to be much laxer and to have allowed some non @-@ Thoroughbred horses into their national stud books . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-3014 | The shiner is critically endangered due to its small population size and threats to its habitat from dam construction and pollution . It was first recognized as threatened in 1987 . The species has since undergone a successful captive breeding program and its status has been a significant factor in the destruction of a dam that destroyed part of the shiner 's habitat . However , the species is still limited to just five populations in the wild and some experts believe that a single toxic chemical spill into the Cape Fear River could wipe out the entire wild population . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-3015 | Nazi propaganda often used Kaufman 's pamphlet as a justification for the persecution of Jews . When the Nazis required German Jews to wear a yellow badge on their clothing on September 1 , 1941 , they published a flyer explaining to the German people that those individuals wearing the star were conspiring to implement Kaufman 's plan for the destruction of Germany .

wikipedia_2018-3018 | The Danube passage connecting Ulm , Donauwörth , Ingolstadt and Regensburg had strategic importance in the ongoing competition for European hegemony between France and the Holy Roman Empire ; the army that commanded the Danube , especially its passage through Württemberg and Bavaria , could command access to the important cities of Munich and the seat of Habsburg authority : Vienna . The end result of the battle was the opposite of what had occurred on those same fields almost 100 years earlier , when the armies of the Grand Alliance had faced the armies of France during the War of the Spanish Succession . At the Second Battle of Höchstädt in 1704 , called the Battle of Blenheim by the English , the overwhelming Allied victory ensured the safety of Vienna from the Franco @-@ Bavarian army , thus preventing the collapse of the Grand Alliance . France 's loss during that engagement opened the pathway into France for the allied English and Austrian forces . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-3020 | In 572 the Byzantine ruler Justin II ( reigned 565 – 578 ) refused to renew the annual payments to Sassanid Persia that had been part of the peace agreement concluded by his uncle , Justinian I ( r . 527 – 565 ) and the Persian shah Khosrau I ( r . 531 – 579 ) in 562 . This marked the culmination of the progressive deterioration of Byzantine – Persian relations over the previous years , which manifested itself in diplomatic and military manoeuvring in their geopolitical periphery . Thus the Byzantines initiated contacts with the Central Asian Göktürks for a joint effort against Persia , while the Persians intervened in Yemen against the Christian <unk> , allies of Byzantium . Justin furthermore regarded the annual tribute as an indignity unworthy of Romans , and used the outbreak of a major revolt in Persian Armenia in 571 – 572 as a pretext for refusing to continue the payments . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-3021 | Neighbours is an Australian television soap opera . It was first broadcast on the Seven Network on 18 March 1985 . It was created by TV executive Reg Watson , who proposed the idea of making a show that focused on realistic stories and portrayed adults and teenagers who talk openly and solve their problems together . Seven decided to commission the show following the success of Watson 's Sons and Daughters , which aired on the network . Although successful in Melbourne , Neighbours underperformed in the Sydney market and struggled for months before Seven cancelled it . The show was immediately bought by rival network Ten . After taking over production of the show , the new network had to build replica sets because Seven destroyed the originals to prevent its rival from obtaining them . Ten began screening Neighbours on 20 January 1986 , taking off where the previous series left off and commencing with episode 171 . Neighbours has since become the longest running drama series in Australian television and in 2005 , it was inducted collectively into the Logie Hall of Fame . On 11 January 2011 , Neighbours moved to Ten 's digital channel , Eleven . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-3022 | The 2nd Panzer had been given the most difficult job . Its advance through the Ardennes trapped and delayed it in nearly 250 kilometres ( 160 mi ) of traffic . Consequently , it arrived late at Donchery , after the 1st and 10th Panzer Divisions had initiated their assaults across the Meuse . Due to a combination of its being late and the attacks of its sister units , the enemy defences were alerted in advance of the 2nd Panzer 's offensive . Crossing at the extreme western end of the Sedan sector on the Donchery axis , it was forced to advance across open terrain for the last 3 km before reaching the bridgehead . This subjected the division to fire from Donchery and the Bellevue Castle 's 75mm artillery casemates , located slightly to the east of the town . Several boats were tied to the Panzers and dragged across , but the tanks were knocked out . The bulk of the 174 artillery pieces available to the French at Sedan were concentrated on the 2nd Panzer Division 's front . Most were located in the bunkers on the south side of the river Meuse @-@ Donchery sector . Some of the French 102nd Infantry division 's batteries also joined in from the north west , at Charleville . The only way to respond was with howitzers . However , 2nd Panzer Division had handed its heavy howitzers over to the 1st Panzer Division , and now had only 24 guns and they did not arrive on the battlefield until 17 : 00 . When they arrived , they had only had a couple of shells per gun owing to the logistical tailback in the Ardennes . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-3023 | The precise involvement of the Praetorian Guard is less clear . At the time the Guard was commanded by Titus Flavius Norbanus and Titus Petronius Secundus and the latter was almost certainly aware of the plot . Cassius Dio , writing nearly a hundred years after the assassination , includes Domitia Longina among the conspirators , but in light of her attested devotion to Domitian — even years after her husband had died — her involvement in the plot seems highly unlikely . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-3026 | According to the historian Norman Davies , the plays were constrained by the political and religious requirements of Tudor England . While they are factually inaccurate , they demonstrate how the past and the House of Lancaster are remembered in terms of myth , legend , ideas and popular misconceptions . Shakespeare avoided contentious political and religious issues to dubiously illustrate Tudor England as having rejected medieval conflict and entered an era of harmony and prosperity . The famous patriotic " <unk> 'd isle " speech is voiced by John of Gaunt , a man who spent the majority of his life in Aquitaine , and is a piece of poetic licence that illustrates English prejudices . Henry V is one @-@ sided with little sympathy for the French . Many of these historical lines illustrate historical myth rather than realism . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-3028 | Other pressures on O 'Neill 's colonization plan were the high cost of access to Earth orbit and the declining cost of energy . Building solar power stations in space was economically attractive when energy prices spiked during the 1979 oil crisis . When prices dropped in the early 1980s , funding for space solar power research dried up . His plan had also been based on NASA 's estimates for the flight rate and launch cost of the Space Shuttle , numbers that turned out to have been wildly optimistic . His 1977 book quoted a Space Shuttle launch cost of $ 10 million , but in 1981 the subsidized price given to commercial customers started at $ 38 million . Eventual accounting of the full cost of a launch in 1985 raised this as high as $ 180 million per flight . | wikipedia-2018 |

Justice Thomas argued that the previous ruling should have been upheld " because federal law does not provide a cause of action to plaintiffs whose constitutional rights have not been violated " . The dissent focused on the text of the statute Heffernan was suing under : 42 U.S.C. § 1983 . The statute only provides a cause of action for those whose rights have actually been violated by the government . Because Heffernan maintained that he was not exercising his First Amendment rights , the dissent argued that those rights could not have been violated , and that a section 1983 claim requires that the employee engage in protected activity and that the employer retaliate against that activity . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-3096 | Franz Ferdinand and Sophie gave up their planned program in favor of visiting the wounded from the bombing , at the hospital .

In order to avoid the city center , General Oskar Potiorek decided that the royal car should travel straight along the Appel Quay to the Sarajevo Hospital . However , the driver , Leopold Lojka , took a right turn into Franz Josef Street . The reason for this is that Potiorek 's aide Eric ( h ) von <unk> was in the hospital , and was therefore unable to give Lojka the information about the change in plans and the driving route . The Sarajevo Chief of Police Edmund Gerde ( who had earlier repeatedly protested about the lack of security precautions for the visit ) was asked to tell the drivers of the new route but in the confusion and tensions of the moment neglected to do so . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-3098 | The description of <unk> by Robert ap Ifan ( preceding Linnaeus ' account by 145 years ) states that the king could be captured by two men .
