wikipedia_2018-3100 | Until her death , Leigh continued to receive strange and sometimes threatening calls , letters , and even tapes detailing what they would like to do to Marion Crane . One letter was so " grotesque " that she passed it along to the FBI , two of whose agents visited Leigh and told her the culprits had been located and that she should notify the FBI if she received any more letters of that type . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-3102 | The poem 's seventy lines of blank verse are presented as a dramatic monologue . Scholars disagree on how Ulysses ' speech functions in this format ; it is not necessarily clear to whom Ulysses is speaking , if anyone , and from what location . Some see the verse turning from a soliloquy to a public address , as Ulysses seems to speak to himself in the first movement , then to turn to an audience as he introduces his son , and then to relocate to the seashore where he addresses his mariners . In this interpretation , the comparatively direct and honest language of the first movement is set against the more politically minded tone of the last two movements . For example , the second paragraph ( 33 – 43 ) about Telemachus , in which Ulysses muses again about domestic life , is a " revised version [ of lines 1 – 5 ] for public consumption " : a " savage race " is revised to a " rugged people " . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-3103 | The church was raised to the status of a minor basilica by Pope Leo XIII on June 24 , 1890 .

wikipedia_2018-3104 | The effect on Salford of the Industrial Revolution has been described as " phenomenal " . The area expanded from a small market town into a major industrial metropolis ; factories replaced cottage industries , and the population rose from 12 @,@ 000 in 1812 to 70 @,@ 244 within 30 years . By the end of the 19th century it had increased to 220 @,@ 000 . Large @-@ scale building of low quality Victorian terraced housing did not stop overcrowding , which itself lead to chronic social deprivation . The density of housing was as high as 80 homes per acre . Private roads were built for the use of the middle classes moving to the outskirts of Salford . The entrances to such roads , which included Elleray Road in <unk> o ' th ' Height , were often gated , and patrolled . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-3105 | Due to disagreements in management and poor communication , construction began on both routes . It was soon obvious that the southern route was unfeasible given the remote area , technology available at the time and the rough terrain of the San Rafael Swell . The D & RG spent $ 217 @,@ 470 ( 1883 , equivalent to $ 4 @.@ 6 million in 2007 ) on the project before declaring it a failure . One of the accounts in the book Utah Ghost Rails states the railroad fired the lead surveyor , even though the workers had graded a path past the San Rafael Reef . This route today is a jeep trail . According to a sign placed by the Bureau of Land Management ( BLM ) , had the southern route succeeded it would have been the shortest transcontinental railroad in the U.S. | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-3106 | The Mascarene martin nests in the wet season , August to November in Madagascar , and September to early January on Mauritius and Réunion . Brazza 's martin breeds from July to October . Both species typically breed in small groups , but their nesting habits are quite different . The Mascarene martin builds a shallow cup nest of twigs and coarse plant material such as grass and Casuarina with a softer lining of feathers and finer vegetation . It may be constructed anywhere suitably flat and inaccessible to predators , including locations 3 – 5 m ( 9 @.@ 8 – 16 @.@ 4 ft ) over water , on slate ledges , or in underground passageways , whereas Brazza 's martin makes a small heap of soft material such as feathers or dry grass at the end of a typically 50 @-@ cm ( 20 @-@ in ) tunnel in a riverbank . The normal clutch is three eggs for Brazza 's martin , two for Mascarene martins on Madagascar and Mauritius , but two or three for those on Réunion . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-3107 | John Greyson became interested in offering a counterpoint to the Patient Zero story as early as 1987 , when the Patient Zero meme began entering the public consciousness following the publication of Randy Shilts 's book And the Band Played On . The book described the cluster study which led to the popular identification of flight attendant Gaëtan Dugas as the vector through which HIV was first brought to North America . It should be noted , however , that Shilts himself never claimed that Dugas was the first . In early 1991 Greyson was given a development grant for the script from the Canadian Film Centre , of which Greyson is an alumnus . Over the next year Greyson , in collaboration with Film Centre partners Louise Garfield and Anna Stratton , continued to develop the script , eventually presenting it with producer Alexandra <unk> in a workshop format . During the first half of 1992 , the production team secured additional development funding from the Canada Council , Telefilm Canada and the Ontario Film Development Corporation . By June of that year the script and the songs were completed and that autumn , with funds from the Telefilm Canada and <unk> grants along with revenue from the sale of British broadcast rights to Channel 4 , pre @-@ production and casting got underway . Principal photography began in November 1992 and wrapped after five weeks . Sneak previews took place at the Seattle International Film Festival and a number of LGBT film festivals across the United States before its official debut in September 1993 at Toronto 's Festival of Festivals . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-3108 | Lead @-@ off single " Anything That Touches You " reached number 50 on the country charts in 2002 , representing the band 's final chart entry . Following it were the non @-@ charting singles " Squeeze Box " ( a cover of a song made famous by The Who ) and " Amarillo Sky . " The latter was co @-@ written by Big Kenny and John Rich ( who would later form the duo Big & Rich ) , and was later recorded by Jason Aldean on his 2005 self @-@ titled debut album . Aldean 's version was released in late 2006 and peaked at number 4 on the country charts in early 2007 . Also included on Amarillo Sky was the track " Hasta <unk> " , co @-@ written by McBride and previously found on David Ball 's 1999 album Play . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-3109 | He was promoted to major on 15 August 1917 and lieutenant colonel on 1 October 1918 . While visiting some friends at the 89th Division , he volunteered his services to its chief of staff , Colonel John C. H. Lee , who accepted him as a temporary replacement for his Assistant Chief of Staff , G @-@ 3 , in charge of operations , who had been captured a few days before . For leading a three @-@ man patrol to inspect damage to a bridge some 600 yards ( 550 m ) in front of American lines , Somervell was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross . He was one of only nine American officers , including Douglas MacArthur , Barnwell R. Legge , Sereno E. Brett or William J. Donovan , to have been awarded both the Distinguished Service Cross and the Distinguished Service Medal in the First World War . A few days later Lee arranged for Somervell to be permanently assigned to the 89th Division . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-3111 | The range of the estuary stingray spans approximately 1 @,@ 700 km ( 1 @,@ 100 mi ) along Australia 's eastern coast , from Repulse Bay in Queensland to the Hacking River in New South Wales . It is most common in southern Queensland , including in Hervey Bay and Moreton Bay . This species was formerly suspected to have disappeared from Botany Bay and Port Jackson in the 1880s , but recent observations have shown this is not the case . Additional species records from the Cape York Peninsula , Northern Territory , New Guinea , and the South China Sea probably represent misidentifications of other stingrays , primarily the freshwater whipray ( Himantura dalyensis ) and the Merauke stingray ( D. longicauda ) . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-3112 | Over the next few years , the one @-@ upmanship continued as the world record was again traded between Planica and Oberstdorf . In 1984 , Matti Nykänen jumped 182 m ( 597 ft ) twice on the same day in Oberstdorf . By improving this to 185 m ( 607 ft ) the next day , Nykänen became the first athlete since Reidar Andersen in 1935 to set three world records in the space of 24 hours . It would be the end of an era as this was the last time a world record was set in Oberstdorf ; altogether twenty were set there . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-3113 | Ironically , manager John Sillett spent much of the money from Coventry 's FA Cup run ( £ 750 @,@ 000 ) on Chelsea striker David Speedie , who would replace Houchen in front of goal . Sillett 's one consolation to Houchen was that he would play him in the 1987 FA Charity Shield , which ended in a 1 – 0 defeat to Everton . The 1987 – 88 season was poor for both club and player , as illness , injury and competition from Speedie , Gary Bannister and Cyrille Regis restricted Houchen to just three goals and 24 appearances . On 14 August 1988 , he was selected by Graham Taylor to represent the Football League in a game against Scunthorpe United to celebrate the opening of Glanford Park ; Houchen scored once in a 6 – 1 victory . He scored just twice in sixteen appearances in 1988 – 89 , though one of these goals was the winner against Midlands rivals Aston Villa in a 2 – 1 Boxing Day victory at Highfield Road . He also featured as a substitute in the infamous 2 – 1 defeat to Conference club Sutton United at Gander Green Lane . The result was all the more remarkable considering that Coventry went on to finish seventh in the league and that Houchen was one of ten Coventry players that day who had won the FA Cup less than two years previously . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-3114 | As the war drew to a close in April 1865 , Greeley and the Tribune urged magnanimity towards the defeated Confederates , arguing that making martyrs of Confederate leaders would only inspire future rebels . This talk of moderation ceased when Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth . Many concluded that Lincoln had fallen as the result of a final rebel plot , and the new president , Andrew Johnson , offered $ 100 @,@ 000 for the capture of fugitive Confederate president Jefferson Davis . After the rebel leader was caught , Greeley initially advocated that " punishment be meted out in accord with a just verdict " . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-3115 | Much of the military in California were engaged in the Mexican @-@ American War , and with them the able @-@ bodied men . For example , Colonel Frémont 's personnel were occupied at that precise time in capturing Santa Barbara . Throughout the region , roads were blocked , communications compromised , and supplies unavailable . Only three men responded to a call for volunteers to rescue the Donner Party . Reed was laid over in San Jose until February because of regional uprisings and general confusion . He spent that time speaking with other pioneers and acquaintances , and the people of San Jose responded by creating a petition to appeal to the U.S. Navy to assist the people at Truckee Lake . Two local newspapers reported that members of the snowshoe party had resorted to cannibalism , which helped to foster sympathy for those who were still trapped . Residents of Yerba Buena , many recent emigrants , raised $ 1 @,@ 300 ( $ 33 @,@ 000 as of 2015 ) and organized relief efforts to build two camps to supply a rescue party for the refugees . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-3117 | La Dulzura represented a stylistic departure for the group , both musically and lyrically . The song " Del Tope al Fondo " is influenced by Argentine music , especially the genre of tango . Lyrically , the band discusses more romantic themes as opposed to the political emphasis of the group 's previous records . Guitarist Eliut Gonzalez remarked that the band aimed to shift discussion to " the good things in the world " , explaining that " We know that people need help , and that behind every revolution or movement , there is love . We wanted to document that in our music , but without doing it in a cheesy or typical way . " The singles " Baja la <unk> " , " La Complicidad " , " Para Estar " and " <unk> " all charted on the Billboard Latin Pop Songs chart . In 2011 , the group collaborated with Dominican musician Vicente García on his single " Mi <unk> " . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-3118 | On Shackleton 's return home , public honours were quickly forthcoming . King Edward VII received him on 10 July and raised him to a Commander of the Royal Victorian Order ( CVO ) ; in the King 's Birthday Honours list in November , he was made a knight , becoming Sir Ernest Shackleton . He was honoured by the Royal Geographical Society , who awarded him a Gold Medal ; a proposal that the medal be smaller than that earlier awarded to Captain Scott was not acted on . All the members of the Nimrod Expedition shore party received silver Polar Medals on 23 November , with Shackleton receiving a clasp to his earlier medal . Shackleton was also appointed a Younger Brother of Trinity House , a significant honour for British mariners . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-3119 | The state highway was established in 1924 . It serves as a connector between SR 19 and SR 101 east and northeast of where the two routes intersect . SR 19 jogs west from SR 228 's southern terminus , and SR 101 traverses in a southwest @-@ to @-@ northeast fashion , creating a tight angle between the two routes . SR 778 serves a similar purpose to SR 228 to the west and southwest of the junction of SR 19 and SR 101 . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-3121 | R. L. Shaffer of IGN rated it 7 @.@ 5 out of 10 and wrote that the episode " played like filler " but was " a very good filler episode " . Shaffer described the final scene with Hawking as " fun " and " effective " , although claimed some of the subplots " were only so @-@ so " . Robin Pierson of The TV Critic rated the episode 36 out of 100 , stating that " the craft has gone from the stories and jokes in favour of the most basic stories and punch lines . " Pierson thought Helberg " did a nice job showing vulnerability " as Howard , but that the episode overall was " one utterly predictable , unimaginative joke after another . " | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-3122 | At 8 : 14 a.m. the United Airlines crew radioed a routine position report over the Mojave Desert to notify controllers that they expected to arrive over McCarran Field near Las Vegas at 8 : 31 a.m. Air Force pilot Moran radioed the control tower at Nellis Air Force Base at 8 : 28 a.m. to report that he would now begin a procedural " jet penetration " descent to 14 @,@ 000 feet ( 4 @,@ 300 m ) . As the fighter descended , the airliner was approaching Las Vegas air space at about 312 knots ( 578 km / h ) on a heading of 23 degrees , flying straight @-@ and @-@ level within the confines of its designated airway . The CAA stations controlling the airliner were unaware of the fighter jet ; the Air Force controllers at Nellis Air Force Base directing the jet were unaware of the airliner . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-3123 | Powell once overheard Lennon give a compliment to a girl with blonde hair in the college , who looked similar to the French actress Brigitte Bardot . The next Saturday , Powell turned up at the college with her hair several shades blonder . Lennon noticed straight away , exclaiming , " Get you , Miss Hoylake !

Dressed like a Teddy Boy , he sometimes brought a guitar with him into class , and once sang " Ain 't She Sweet " directly to Powell . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-3124 | The station was the first to be able to be resupplied by the newly developed unmanned Progress freighters , although they could only dock at the rear port , as the front port lacked the plumbing used to refuel the propulsion system . The freighters docked automatically to the station via the Igla , and were then opened and emptied by the cosmonauts on board , whilst transfer of fuel to the station took place automatically under supervision from the ground . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-3125 | The opposition in Massachusetts to Shirley had died down while he was in England and Paris . Shirley soon had to deal with the increasing conflict on the frontier with French Canada . Tensions had been increasing , particularly in the Ohio Country , where British and French traders were coming into conflict . When ( false ) rumors reached Boston in 1754 of French military activity on the province 's northern frontier ( Maine ) , Shirley was quick to organize an expedition to the Kennebec River to bolster the area 's defenses . This expedition erected Fort Halifax in what is now Winslow , Maine . News of hostilities in the Ohio Country brought further urgency to that matter , as well as attendance at a planned conference of colonies at Albany , New York . Because of the urgency , and the support of politically powerful Maine landowners , Shirley 's relationship with the provincial assembly was relatively good . Shirley instructed the provincial representatives to the Albany Conference to seek a colonial union , but the provincial assembly ( along with those of other provinces ) rejected the conference 's proposals . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-3126 | After the start of World War II , Gheorghe Tătărescu initiated a move to rally political forces in opposition to Ion Antonescu 's dictatorship , and sought an alliance with the Romanian Communist Party ( PCR ) . He was twice expelled from the PNL , in 1938 and 1944 , creating instead his own group , the National Liberal Party @-@ Tătărescu , and representing it inside the Communist @-@ endorsed Petru Groza cabinet . In 1946 @-@ 1947 , he was also the President of the Romanian Delegation to the Peace Conference in Paris . After that moment , relations between Tătărescu and the PCR began to sour , and he was replaced from the leadership of both his own party and the Foreign Ministry when his name was implicated in the <unk> Affair . Following the Communist takeover , he was arrested and held as a political prisoner , while being called to testify in the trial of Lucrețiu Pătrășcanu . He died soon after his release from prison . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-3128 | David has also been involved in other films and television series . David wrote and directed the 1998 film Sour Grapes , about two cousins who feud over a casino jackpot . It was neither a commercial nor a critical success . He appeared in minor parts in two Woody Allen films – Radio Days and New York Stories – before taking the leading role in Allen 's New York @-@ based comedy film Whatever Works ( 2009 ) . Because his daughters were Hannah Montana fans , David , along with his daughters , guest @-@ starred , as themselves , in the episode " My Best Friend 's Boyfriend , " in which they were waiting for a table at a fancy restaurant . David had a cameo appearance on the HBO series Entourage as a client of Ari Gold , and also appeared as a panelist on the NBC series The Marriage Ref . During the 2008 U.S Presidential Election , David supported and actively campaigned for Barack Obama .

wikipedia_2018-3129 | It is uncertain how the 1913 nickels came to be made . The Mint 's records show no production of 1913 Liberty head nickels , and none were authorized to be made . Dies were prepared in advance and sent to California for a 1913 @-@ S Liberty Head nickel coinage , but upon orders from Mint Director Roberts in December 1912 to end the old design , they were returned to Philadelphia . They were received by December 23 , and were almost certainly destroyed routinely by early January . Brown had been an employee at the Philadelphia Mint ( although this was not known until 1963 ) and many theories focus suspicion on him . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-3130 | A vertex v of a directed graph is said to be reachable from another vertex u when there exists a path that starts at u and ends at v. As a special case , every vertex is considered to be reachable from itself ( by a path with zero edges ) . If a vertex can reach itself via a nontrivial path ( a path with one or more edges ) , then that path is a cycle , so another way to define directed acyclic graphs is that they are the graphs in which no vertex can reach itself via a nontrivial path . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-3132 | Casey returned to Washington , D.C. in October 1940 to become chief of the Design and Engineering Section in the Construction Division of the Office of the Quartermaster General , under Brigadier General Brehon B. Somervell . An enormous construction program was underway to meet the needs of World War II . Working with a staff that included George Bergstrom , a former president of the American Institute of Architects , Casey set about revising the standard designs for barracks . A number of new features were added to improve comfort , safety , and durability . Substitutions were made for scarce materials . It was discovered that the standard 63 @-@ man barracks was now too small . Of the 81 companies in the new triangular division , 51 fitted more easily into 74 @-@ man barracks . By slightly increasing the barracks size , substantial savings were made by reducing the overall number of buildings that needed to be constructed , the size of the cantonment areas required , and the length of required roads and utility lines . Casey was promoted to lieutenant colonel on 8 April 1941 . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-3136 | The novel is well known for its style , which is variously described as modern , hard @-@ boiled , or understated . As a novice writer and journalist in Paris , Hemingway turned to Ezra Pound — who had a reputation as " an unofficial minister of culture who acted as mid @-@ wife for new literary talent " — to mark and blue @-@ ink his short stories . From Pound , Hemingway learned to write in the modernist style : he used understatement , pared away sentimentalism , and presented images and scenes without explanations of meaning , most notably at the book 's conclusion , in which multiple future possibilities are left for Brett and Jake . The scholar Anders Hallengren writes that because Hemingway learned from Pound to " distrust adjectives , " he created a style " in accordance with the esthetics and ethics of raising the emotional temperature towards the level of universal truth by shutting the door on sentiment , on the subjective .

Charles also commented that he believes that the record company didn 't put in much effort on the song but believed that EMI had only put in effort on singles " Dreaming of You " and " I Could Fall in Love " . Benson Ramos of The Gaston Gazette believed " Captive Heart " wasn 't " crossover potential " . Steven Washington of Aurora Sentinel praised the song 's " electronic feels " and " Latin flavors " that it brings to the song .

wikipedia_2018-3143 | The telescope was constructed so that the bowl could be completely inverted . Originally , it was intended to use a movable tower at the base of the telescope to change the receivers at the focus . However , the movable tower was never built , due jointly to funding constraints and the fact that much of the receiver equipment was placed at the base of the telescope rather than at the focus . Instead , receivers were mounted on 50 @-@ foot ( 15 @-@ m ) long steel tubes , which were then inserted by a winch into the top of the aerial tower while the bowl was inverted . The cables from the receivers then ran down the inside of this tube , which could then be connected when the telescope was pointed at the zenith . Associated receiver equipment could then be placed either in the small , swinging laboratory directly underneath the surface ; in rooms at the tops of the two towers ; at the base girders , or in the control building . | wikipedia-2018 |

Digital Devil Saga was the first Megami Tensei project to feature an extensive voice acting element . During localization , localization project manager Yu Namba made a spelling error during one of the early cutscenes where the name of Serph 's demon form was shown : the demon 's name was displayed as " Varna " , when it was actually " Varuna " . The error was not spotted until it was too late , and so remained in the game . One of the main concerns was to keep the characters ' personalities intact when shifting from Japanese to English dialogue : a cited example of how this change was accomplished was Cielo , who was given a Jamaican accent to express the character 's easy @-@ going and friendly personality . After the release of Nocturne , the " Shin Megami Tensei " moniker was attached to the Digital Devil Saga games to help with marketing . | wikipedia-2018 |

" Although he credits the production for " getting its science lesson across in a superficial way " , he expresses a negative view of the narration , remarking that " at times Ed [ Bishop ] comes across like a presenter of one of those old schools programmes from the 70s , just imparting a string of dry facts . " He believes that Jane is the only character who develops over the course of the special . The adults , by contrast , are " pretty much peripheral " , while David can be considered a " miniature Spock " who " lurks around the ship either brandishing his slide rule , threatening to calculate something , or staring out of the porthole ( a nice touch ! ) dribbling about pulsars .

wikipedia_2018-3154 | Massino was 48 years old at the time of his accession , and knew that he potentially had a long reign ahead of him . With this in mind , he was determined to avoid the pitfalls that landed other Mafia bosses in prison . Inspired by Genovese boss Vincent Gigante , Massino forbade his men from saying his name out loud due to FBI surveillance . Instead , they were to touch their ears when referring to him . Massino gained the nickname " The Ear " because of this . Massino took a great number of precautions in regards to security and the possibility of anything incriminating being picked up on a wiretap . He closed the long @-@ standing social clubs of the Bonanno family . He also arranged family meetings to be conducted in remote locations within the United States . In some cases , he held meetings in foreign countries , and had his capos bring their wives along so they could be passed off as vacations . Remembering how Pistone 's infiltration had damaged the family , he also decreed that all prospective made men had to have a working relationship with an incumbent member for at least eight years before becoming made , in hopes of ensuring new mafiosi were as reliable as possible . Unusually for bosses of his era , he actively encouraged his men to have their sons made as well . In Massino 's view , this would make it less likely that a capo would turn informer , since if that happened the defector 's son would face almost certain death . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-3162 | Thatcher became closely aligned with the Cold War policies of United States President Ronald Reagan , based on their shared distrust of Communism , although she strongly opposed Reagan 's October 1983 invasion of Grenada . Reagan had assured Thatcher that an invasion was not contemplated , and thereafter Thatcher felt she could never fully trust Reagan again . During her first year as Prime Minister she supported NATO 's decision to deploy US nuclear cruise and Pershing II missiles in Western Europe and permitted the US to station more than 160 cruise missiles at RAF Greenham Common , starting on 14 November 1983 and triggering mass protests by the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament . She bought the Trident nuclear missile submarine system from the US to replace Polaris , tripling the UK 's nuclear forces at an eventual cost of more than £ 12 billion ( at 1996 – 97 prices ) . Thatcher 's preference for defence ties with the US was demonstrated in the Westland affair of January 1986 , when she acted with colleagues to allow the struggling helicopter manufacturer Westland to refuse a takeover offer from the Italian firm Agusta in favour of the management 's preferred option , a link with Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation .

Therefore , the credibility of the Gesta reports is a subject of scholarly debate . Although Vlad Georgescu , Ioan Aurel Pop and other historians describe Glad as one of the local Romanian rulers who attempted to resist the invading Hungarians , other scholars — including Pál Engel and György Györffy — call him one of the dozen " imaginary figures " invented by Anonymus ( author of the Gesta ) as foes in the Hungarian conquest of the Carpathian Basin . | wikipedia-2018 |

This was especially true in light of Rimsky @-@ Korsakov 's comment about the " considerable barrier " of Tchaikovsky 's Conservatory training , as well as Anton Rubinstein 's opinion that Tchaikovsky had strayed too far from the examples of the great Western masters .

As far as the Asunción faction was concerned , the goal of the revolt had been achieved with Ruyloba 's death , and business as usual could resume with a hopefully more pliant governor .
