wikipedia_2018-3400 | In 1803 , British scientist Smithson Tennant ( 1761 – 1815 ) analyzed the insoluble residue and concluded that it must contain a new metal . Vauquelin treated the powder alternately with alkali and acids and obtained a volatile new oxide , which he believed to be of this new metal — which he named <unk> , from the Greek word <unk> <unk> , " winged " . Tennant , who had the advantage of a much greater amount of residue , continued his research and identified the two previously undiscovered elements in the black residue , iridium and osmium .

wikipedia_2018-3401 | During the conflict over the Toledo Strip , the Erie Canal was built , linking New York City and the Eastern seaboard to the Great Lakes at Buffalo . The canal , finished in 1825 , immediately became a major route for trade and migration . Corn and other farm products ( from the Midwest ) were able to be shipped to eastern markets for much less expense than the older route along the Mississippi River . In addition , the migration of settlers to the Midwest increased sharply after the canal was finished , making existing port cities such as Buffalo boomtowns . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-3402 | In the 1960s , The Crab with the Golden Claws , along with King Ottokar 's Sceptre , became the first Tintin adventures published in the United States , in Little Golden Books . However , Casterman , working with the American publisher Western Publishing , made a number of changes : Jumbo , the sailor who Tintin leaves bound and gagged in Captain Haddock 's cabin , as well as another man who beats Haddock in the cellar , could not be black Africans as depicted in the original ; these were changed to a white sailor and an Arab due to the American publisher 's concerns depicting blacks and whites mixing together . The accompanying text was not changed , however , and Haddock still refers to the man who beat him as a " Negro " . Also by request of the Americans , scenes of Haddock drinking directly from bottles of whiskey on the lifeboat and the plane were blanked out , keeping only the text . The edited albums later had their blanked areas redrawn by Hergé to be more acceptable , and they appear this way in published editions around the world . Casterman republished the original black @-@ and @-@ white version of the story in 1980 , as part of the fourth volume in their Archives Hergé collection . In 1989 , they then published a facsimile version of that first edition . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-3403 | One black motorist observed in the early 1940s that while black travelers felt free in the mornings , by the early afternoon a " small cloud " had appeared . By the late afternoon , " it casts a shadow of apprehension on our hearts and sours us a little . ' Where , ' it asks us , ' will you stay tonight ? ' " . They often had to spend hours in the evening trying to find somewhere to stay , sometimes resorting to sleeping in <unk> or in their own cars if they could not find anywhere . One alternative , if it was available , was to arrange in advance to sleep at the homes of black friends in towns or cities along their route . However , this meant detours and an abandonment of the spontaneity that for many was a key attraction of motoring . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-3404 | Keats 's use of the odal hymn in his six odes , along with his use of the odal hymn with a <unk> voice in " Ode to a Grecian Urn " and " Ode to a Nightingale " , created , according to Walter Jackson Bate , " a new tone for the English lyric . " Bate , when speaking about the 1819 odes , wrote : " The productivity of the three and a half weeks that begins on April 21 is difficult to parallel in the career of any modern writer . Yet to Keats it was not even a new beginning . It was rather a matter of becoming more alive in preparation for the next beginning . " In addition to this , Bate argued that " It is because " To Autumn " is so uniquely a distillation , and at many different levels , that each generation has found it one of the most nearly perfect poems in English . We need not be afraid of continuing to use the adjective [ ... ] The ' Ode to a Nightingale , ' for example , is a less ' perfect ' though a greater poem . " Charles Patterson argued the relationship of " Ode on a Grecian Urn " as the greatest 1819 ode of Keats , " The meaningfulness and range of the poem , along with its controlled execution and powerfully suggestive imagery , entitle it to a high place among Keats 's great odes . It lacks the even finish and extreme perfection of " To Autumn " but is much superior in these qualities to the " Ode to a Nightingale " despite the magic passages in the latter and the similarities of over @-@ all structure . In fact , the " Ode on a Grecian Urn " may deserve to rank first in the group if viewed in something approaching its true complexity and human wisdom . " Later , Ayumi <unk> argued that early audiences did not support " Ode to Psyche " because it " turned out to be too reflexive and internalised to be enjoyed as a mythological picture . For the same reason , the " Ode on a Grecian Urn " drew neither attention nor admiration . Herbert Grierson believed " Nightingale " to be superior to the other odes because it and " To Autumn " were more logical and contained stronger arguments . Although the poet is gazing round the surface of the urn in each stanza , the poem cannot readily be consumed as a series of ' idylls ' . " | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-3405 | By 2008 , her continued drug problems threatened her career . Even as Nick Gatfield , the president of Island Records , toyed with the idea of releasing Winehouse " to deal with her problems , " he remarked on her talent , saying , " It 's a reflection of her status [ in the U.S. ] that when you flick through the TV coverage [ of the Grammys ] it 's her image they use . " Post @-@ Grammys , some questioned whether Winehouse should have been honoured with the awards given her recent personal and drug problems , including Natalie Cole , who introduced Winehouse at the ceremony and who herself battled substance @-@ abuse problems while winning a Grammy for Best New Artist in 1975 . ( Winehouse was prevented from traveling to and performing at the Grammy Awards ceremony in the US due to failing a drug test . ) In a newspaper commentary , the executive director of the UN Office on Drugs and Crime , Antonio Maria Costa , said that the alleged drug habits of Winehouse and other celebrities sent a bad message " to others who are vulnerable to addiction " and undermine the efforts of other celebrities trying to raise awareness of problems in Africa , now that more cocaine used in Europe passes through that continent . Winehouse 's spokesperson noted that " Amy has never given a quote about drugs or flaunted it in any way . She 's had some problems and is trying to get better . The U.N. should get its own house in order . " | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-3406 | Several lines of evidence point to ongoing volcanic activity on Venus . During the Soviet Venera program , the Venera 9 orbiter obtained spectroscopic evidence of lightning on Venus , and the Venera 12 descent probe obtained additional evidence of lightning and thunder . The European Space Agency 's Venus Express in 2007 detected whistler waves further confirming the occurrence of lightning on Venus . Although rainfall drives thunderstorms on Earth , there is no rainfall on the surface of Venus ( though sulfuric acid rain falls in the upper atmosphere , then evaporates around 25 km above the surface ) . One possibility is that ash from a volcanic eruption was generating the lightning . Another piece of evidence comes from measurements of sulfur dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere , which dropped by a factor of 10 between 1978 and 1986 , jumped in 2006 , and again declined 10 @-@ fold . This may mean that levels had been boosted several times by large volcanic eruptions . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-3407 | Riding horses were used by a variety of people during the Middle Ages , and so varied greatly in quality , size and breeding . Knights and nobles kept riding horses in their war @-@ trains , saving their warhorses for the battle . The names of horses referred to a type of horse , rather than a breed . Many horses were named by the region where they or their immediate ancestors were foaled . For example , in Germany , Hungarian horses were commonly used for riding . Individual horses were often described by their gait ( ' trotters ' or ' <unk> ' ) , by their colouring , or by the name of their breeder . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-3409 | With Miranda imprisoned in Spain , Bolívar emerged as the new leader of the Venezuelan independence movement . He resolved that they would have to take some time to prepare before returning to the mainland . Growing bored in Curaçao , MacGregor decided to offer his services to General Antonio Nariño 's republican armies in Venezuela 's western neighbour , New Granada . He escorted Josefa to lodgings in Jamaica , then travelled to Nariño 's base at <unk> in the eastern Andes . Miranda 's name won the Scotsman a fresh commission in the service of New Granada , with command of 1 @,@ 200 men in the Socorro district near the border with Venezuela . There was little action in this sector ; Nariño 's forces were mainly engaged around <unk> in the south @-@ west , where the Spanish had a large garrison . Rafter reports positively on MacGregor 's conduct in Socorro , writing that " by the introduction of the European system of tactics , [ he ] considerably improved the discipline of the troops " , but some under his command disliked him .

This man can hardly serve us in New Granada without heaping ten thousand embarrassments upon us . " | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-3410 | A church dedicated to All Saints was established at Shuart some time between 679 and the 10th century . Although the status of the church at Reculver as mother church for the area dates from the 7th century , and may have led to the establishment of a church at Shuart then , this chapel might equally have been a development in response to acquisition of land in the area by Christ Church , Canterbury , in the mid @-@ 900s . Examination of the building 's archaeological remains has failed to provide a more precise date , but a church stood at Shuart for about 100 years or more before the establishment of a nearby church at St Nicholas @-@ at @-@ Wade , since the earliest church there was " almost certainly built in the late 11th century " . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-3416 | Lynn is intended to be the terminus of a future extension of the MBTA Blue Line , which would bring the line 4 @.@ 5 additional miles from Wonderland in Revere to Lynn . This extension has been proposed in various forms for over 80 years .

An extension was not present in the 1972 Final Report of the Boston Transportation Planning Review , but the 1974 Transportation Plan revived the project with possible termini of Lynn , Salem , or even Route 128 in Peabody . The 1978 Program for Mass Transportation report and 1983 Transportation Plan both continued support for an extension to Lynn . Despite the continued recommendations , however , other projects like extensions of the Red and Orange lines were given funding instead of the Blue Line . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-3425 | Although music and sound effects were kept from the original recording sessions , original master recordings have been used to update the soundtrack at much higher quality ; the original recording size was 16 MB , while in the remaster it is over 250 MB . Developers also decided to retain the free aim mode because they wanted to be faithful to the original game . According to Rare 's Producer Nick Ferguson , " We didn 't change the fundamental behavior of the aiming system simply because that is not how Perfect Dark was played " . He also observed that the idea of updating the controls was actually seen as a flaw in Perfect Dark Zero , which tried to " combine the original Perfect Dark system with aspects of Halo " . The original diagonal running , which allows players to move faster than by running forwards or sideways alone , did not work the first time they implemented the analog stick , so it was manually rewritten as it was considered essential for speedruns and achieving some of the target times required to unlock cheats . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-3472 | The Viking occupation of the islands and coastal regions of modern Scotland brought a return to pagan worship in those areas . Norse paganism had some of the same gods as had been worshipped by the Anglo @-@ Saxons before their conversion and is thought to have been focused around a series of cults , involving gods , ancestors and spirits , with calendric and life cycle rituals often involving forms of sacrifice . The paganism of the ruling Norse elite can be seen in goods found in 10th century graves in Shetland , Orkney and Caithness . There is no contemporary account of the conversion of the Vikings in Scotland to Christianity . Historians have traditionally pointed to a process of conversion to Christianity among Viking colonies in Britain dated to the late 10th century , for which later accounts indicate that Viking earls accepted Christianity . However , there is evidence that conversion had begun before this point . There are a large number of isles called Pabbay or Papa in the Western and Northern Isles , which may indicate a " hermit 's " or " priest 's isle " from this period . Changes in patterns of grave goods and Viking place names using -kirk also suggest that the Christianity had begun to spread before the official conversion . Later documentary evidence suggests that there was a Bishop operating in Orkney in the mid @-@ 9th century and more recently uncovered archaeological evidence , including explicitly Christian forms such as stone crosses , suggest that Christian practice may have survived the Viking take over in parts of Orkney and Shetland and that the process of conversion may have begun before Christianity was officially accepted by Viking leaders . The continuity of Scottish Christianity may also explain the relatively rapid way in which Norse settlers were later assimilated into the religion . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-3476 | The result was increased water flow in Kitchen Creek , which has been cutting the falls in the glens since . The gradient or slope of Kitchen Creek was fairly stable for its flow when it had a much smaller drainage basin , as Phillips Creek still does . The increased basin size means that Kitchen Creek in the glens is too steep for its present amount of water flow . As Kitchen Creek continues to cut into the rock and erode it up the Allegheny Front , the creek 's slope will decrease and become less steep . In the future , the creek 's flow and slope are predicted to become similar to those of other nearby creeks with similar size drainage basins .

wikipedia_2018-3486 | Born in Detroit , Michigan , Hill grew up in Fullerton , California . She is the fifth of seven children ; her mother was a dental hygienist and her father an aerospace engineer . She was an active child who climbed everything from trees to street lights . Starting at age eight , she learned gymnastics but disliked the way girls " had to smile and do cutesy little routines on the floor " . Thus , even though she was part of a successful YMCA gymnastics team that competed in southern California and performed in halftime shows for the California Angels , she quit at the age of 12 .

She even questioned the chores assigned in her family , noting the differences between the boys and girls — the boys had weekly tasks while the girls had daily tasks . During high school , Hill took up gymnastics again and became one of the top gymnasts in her state , a skill that eventually contributed to her climbing success .

wikipedia_2018-3491 | In 1908 , the New York State Legislature established Route 30 , an unsigned legislative route extending from Niagara Falls , Niagara County in the southwest to Rouses Point , Clinton County , in the northeast . From Rochester to Red Creek , Route 30 was assigned to Ridge Road . Between Red Creek and the hamlet of Union Square ( now Maple View ) in the town of Mexico , it included most of modern NY 104 . At the same time , the roadway alongside the Niagara River between Ridge Road in Lewiston and Pine Avenue in downtown Niagara Falls was designated , but not signed , as part of Route 18 . By 1914 , Route 30 was amended to also include the section of Ridge Road from Porter ( modern NY 429 ) to Ridgeway ( NY 63 ) . In 1914 , another section — from Ridgeway to the Orleans – Monroe county line — was also included in Route 30 's definition as a spur route . The spur route became part of Route 30 on March 1 , 1921 , when the mainline route was realigned to follow Ridge Road between Ridgeway and Rochester . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-3494 | Property in the County of Tripoli , granted to the Knights Templar in the 1140s , included the Castle of the Kurds , the towns of <unk> and <unk> , and the <unk> 'ah plain separating Homs and Tripoli . Homs was never under Crusader control , so the region around the Castle of the Kurds was vulnerable to expeditions from the city . While its proximity caused the Knights problems with regard to defending their territory , it also meant Homs was close enough for them to raid . Because of the castle 's command of the plain , it became the Knights ' most important base in the area . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-3496 | Peter Sarsgaard played John Lotter , Lana 's former boyfriend , who raped and murdered Teena . Sarsgaard was one of the first choices for the role . He later said he wanted his character to be " likable , sympathetic even " , because he wanted the audience " to understand why they would hang out with me . If my character wasn 't necessarily likable , I wanted him to be charismatic enough that you weren 't going to have a dull time if you were with him . " In another interview , Sarsgaard said he felt " empowered " by playing Lotter . In an interview with The Independent , Sarsgaard said , " I felt very sexy , weirdly , playing John Lotter . I felt like I was just like the sheriff , y 'know , and that everyone loved me . " Sarsgaard recalled watching footage of and reading about Lotter to prepare for the role . Peirce cast Alicia Goranson , known for playing Becky on the sitcom Roseanne , as Candace because of her likeness to Lisa Lambert . Like Sevigny , Goranson had initially auditioned for the lead role . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-3497 | Lawrencium was first synthesized by the Albert Ghiorso and his team on February 14 , 1961 , at the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory ( now called the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory ) at the University of California in Berkeley , California , United States . The first atoms of lawrencium were produced by bombarding a three @-@ milligram target consisting of three isotopes of the element californium with boron @-@ 10 and boron @-@ 11 nuclei from the Heavy Ion Linear Accelerator ( HILAC ) . The nuclide 257103 was originally reported , but then this was reassigned to 258103 . The team at the University of California suggested the name lawrencium ( after Ernest O. Lawrence , the inventor of cyclotron particle accelerator ) and the symbol " Lw " , for the new element , but " Lw " was not adopted , and " Lr " was officially accepted instead . Nuclear @-@ physics researchers in Dubna , Soviet Union ( now Russia ) , reported in 1967 that they were not able to confirm American scientists ' data on 257103 . Two years earlier , the Dubna team reported 256103 . In 1992 , the IUPAC Trans @-@ fermium Working Group officially recognized element 103 , confirmed its naming as lawrencium , with symbol " Lr " , and named the nuclear physics teams at Dubna and Berkeley as the co @-@ discoverers of lawrencium . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-3498 | There are several types of equipment used to help divers carry out decompression . Some are used to plan and monitor the decompression and some mark the underwater position of the diver and act as a buoyancy control aid and position reference in low visibility or currents . Decompression may be shortened ( or accelerated ) by breathing an oxygen @-@ rich " deco gas " such as a nitrox with 50 % or more oxygen . The high partial pressure of oxygen in such decompression mixes create the effect of the oxygen window . This decompression gas is often carried by scuba divers in side @-@ slung cylinders . Cave divers who can only return by a single route , will often leave decompression gas cylinders attached to the guideline at the points where they will be used . Surface supplied divers will have the composition of the breathing gas controlled at the gas panel . Divers with long decompression obligations may be decompressed inside gas filled chambers in the water or at the surface . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-3499 | The hopes of the abolitionists notwithstanding , slavery did not wither with the end of the slave trade in the British Empire , nor did the living conditions of the enslaved improve . The trade continued , with few countries following suit by abolishing the trade , and with some British ships disregarding the legislation . Wilberforce worked with the members of the African Institution to ensure the enforcement of abolition and to promote abolitionist negotiations with other countries . In particular , the US had abolished the slave trade in 1808 , and Wilberforce lobbied the American government to enforce its own prohibition more strongly . | wikipedia-2018 |
