That year , the Japanese placed a large sign over the main door of the cathedral that read " Under Management of the Japanese Army " . On August 15 , 1945 , Japan surrendered to Allied forces , officially ending World War II , and in September 1945 , Qingdao was liberated by forces of the Kuomintang , restoring the government of the Republic of China . The following year , on February 18 , 1946 , Bishop Tien was elevated to Cardinal , becoming the first Chinese Cardinal and to date the only SVD Cardinal . He traveled to Vatican City to accept the honor . His Vicariate Apostolic was elevated to the Diocese of Qingdao on April 11 . Upon his return on May 27 , he was greeted by representatives of the government of Shandong Province , who had arranged a welcome in his honor , with the United States Marine Band playing outside the main entrance of the cathedral . The Marine Band was attached to Naval Forces Western Pacific , headquartered in Qingdao at the time . During the Civil War period ( 1946 – 1949 ) , missionaries in Shandong Province experienced growing tensions with the Communists , spurring one of them , Father Augustin Olbert , SVD to write : | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-3603 | Bach possibly led the audition performance of the work in Leipzig in the Thomaskirche on 7 February 1723 , probably after the sermon . It is unclear whether a " test " performance of the 1723 revised version took place in Köthen before Bach 's audition . Bach performed the cantata again for the same occasion on 20 February 1724 , reinforcing the voices by a brass choir in the final movement . When he performed the cantata again between 1728 and 1731 , he returned to the original Köthen key and performed without brass . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-3605 | Gerard was an associate of the anonymous author of the Quadripartitus and the Leges Henrici Primi , two 12th @-@ century law books . The medieval chronicler William of Malmesbury charged Gerard with immorality , avarice and the practice of magic . Gerard encouraged at least one of his clergy to study Hebrew , a language not normally studied at the time . Some chroniclers considered his ownership of a Hebrew psalter to be disturbing , seeing it as a sign of heresy or secret Judaism . Among the sins that Malmesbury imputed to him was the study of Julius Firmicus Maternus , a late Roman astrologer , every morning , which to Malmesbury meant that Gerard was a sorcerer . Malmesbury further claimed that Gerard was " lewd and lustful " . In Gerard 's favour , Anselm regarded him as learned and highly intelligent . Some verses composed by Gerard survive in unpublished form , now in the British Library manuscript collection as part of manuscript Cotton Titus <unk> A collection of his letters circulated in the mid @-@ 12th century , part of a bequest made to Bec Abbey in 1164 by Philip de Harcourt , the Bishop of Bayeux , but it is now lost . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-3607 | On November 23 , the league and the players agreed to resume negotiating on November 25 . On November 26 , after 15 hours of talks , a tentative deal was reached . The NBPA re @-@ formed as a union on December 1 , receiving support from over 300 players , exceeding the requirement for at least 260 signatures . Signature cards were sent to the roughly 440 players on rosters at the end of the previous season , as well as to the 60 rookies drafted in 2011 and to players who signed at least two 10 @-@ day contracts . The re @-@ formation enabled further negotiations with the league on secondary issues such as the age limit for the NBA draft and rules on players being sent to and recalled from the NBA D @-@ League . The players and owners concluded their voting on the deal on December 8 , when the deal was ratified , and the lockout ended after 161 days . The owners approved the deal by a 25 – 5 vote , while 86 % of the more than 200 players who voted approved the deal . Miami Heat 's Micky <unk> and Dallas Mavericks ' Mark Cuban are the two owners who have publicly disclosed that they voted against the new CBA . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-3609 | The 1919 World Series between the Chicago White Sox and Cincinnati Reds was much anticipated , as the nation attempted to return to normalcy in the postwar period . Baseball had seen a surge of popularity during the 1919 season , which set several attendance records . The powerful White Sox , with their superstar batter " Shoeless Joe " Jackson and star pitchers Eddie Cicotte and Claude " Lefty " Williams , were believed likely to defeat the less @-@ well @-@ regarded Reds .

wikipedia_2018-3610 | After ecological objections forced subterranean pipeline crossings ( in order to allow caribou to cross ) , engineers developed a system by which the ground near the pipeline would be refrigerated by chilled brine . These refrigerated sections also would be placed in Styrofoam @-@ lined trenches and covered with gravel for their insulation value . Altogether , 3 @.@ 5 miles ( 5 @.@ 6 km ) of the pipeline was designed to be built underground in this way . In other places , a lack of permafrost meant it could simply be placed underground without a special refrigeration plant . Large amounts of gravel were needed for all sections of the pipeline as insulation to keep the heat of above @-@ ground structures from melting the permafrost . Gravel also was needed to build the construction and maintenance road , and surveyors located 470 sites across Alaska where the needed 65 @,@ 000 @,@ 000 cubic yards ( 50 @,@ 000 @,@ 000 m3 ) of gravel could be located . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-3611 | Bretagne was a battleship of the French Navy built in the 1910s , and the lead ship of her class ; she had two sister ships , Provence and Lorraine . The ship was laid down in July 1912 at the Arsenal de Brest , launched in April 1913 , and commissioned into the fleet in February 1916 , after the outbreak of World War I. She was named in honour of the French region of Brittany , and was armed with a main battery of ten 340 mm ( 13 in ) guns . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-3612 | The design of the He 111 A @-@ L initially had a conventional stepped cockpit , with a separate pair of windscreen @-@ like panels just for the pilot and co @-@ pilot . The introduction of the P variant triggered a complete re @-@ design of the cockpit . The He 111P , and subsequent production variants , were fitted with a fully glazed cockpits , laterally asymmetric nose , with the port side having the greater curvature for the pilot , offsetting the bombardier to starboard . The resulting <unk> cockpit , which was a feature on a number of German bomber designs during the war years in varying shapes and formats , no longer had the separate windscreen panels for the pilot . The pilot had to view their exterior flight environment through the same bullet @-@ like glazing that was used by the bombardier and navigator . The pilot was seated on the left and the navigator / bomb aimer on the right . The navigator went forward to the prone bomb @-@ aiming position , or could tilt his chair to one side so that he could move into the rear of the aircraft . There was no cockpit floor below the pilot 's feet — the rudder pedals being on arms — giving very good visibility below . Sliding and removable panels were manufactured into the nose glazing to allow the pilot , navigator and or bomb aimer to exit the aircraft quickly , without a time @-@ consuming retreat into the fuselage . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-3613 | Before the 2013 season in spring training , manager Charlie Manuel named Hamels the 2013 opening day starter , which Matt Gelb of The Philadelphia Inquirer wrote was a " long time coming " . In his first career opening day start on April 1 against the Atlanta Braves , Hamels surrendered five earned runs in five innings and took the loss . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-3614 | The isotope 291Uup is especially interesting as it has only one neutron more than the heaviest known ununpentium isotope , <unk> . It could plausibly be synthesized as the daughter of ununseptium @-@ 295 , which in turn could be made from the reaction 249Bk ( 48Ca , 2n ) 295Uus . Calculations show that it may have a significant electron capture or positron emission decay mode in addition to alpha decaying and also have a relatively long half @-@ life of several seconds . This would produce 291Fl , <unk> , and finally 291Cn which is expected to be in the middle of the island of stability and have a half @-@ life of about 1200 years , affording the most likely hope of reaching the middle of the island using current technology . Possible drawbacks are that the cross section of the production reaction of 295Uus is expected to be low and the decay properties of superheavy nuclei this close to the line of beta stability are largely unexplored . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-3615 | The first verse of the song has the singer infatuated with the woman , admiring her inner strength . The three remaining verses reflect the inauthentic chaos that the singer has to deal with in the outside world , from which the lover 's Zen @-@ like calm provides needed refuge . The final image is of the lover being like some raven at the singer 's window with a broken wing . This image recalls Edgar Allan Poe 's " The Raven " , but is also a symbol of the lover 's vulnerability in spite of her strength . The broken wing may also be a reference to the woman 's need for shelter , or else to a flaw in her . The style of the song 's lyrics are comparable to William Blake 's poem , " The Sick Rose " , in their economy of language and use of a detached tone to express the narrator 's intense emotional experience . The song 's surreal images anticipate the psychedelic songs Dylan would later write . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-3616 | Upon its release , MTV Unplugged received generally mixed reviews from contemporary music critics . AllMusic editor Stephen Thomas Erlewine gave the album three out of five stars , praising Katy for being a hard working music act and " seeming more likeable here than she did on her debut " , though he noted that her flaws were " amplified " during the performance . Sahar from Blogcritics was more positive about the set , writing that although Perry was not the " best singer out there " , she made up for it " in catchiness and ..... <unk> " . The contributor was more negative of the acoustic version of " I Kissed a Girl " and the fact that MTV cut out parts from the video recording : " What I 'd like to have seen is for MTV to make Katy Perry enter into an unscripted dialog with the fans that are there , film the whole thing and put that on a DVD – then you will really have something unplugged . For how can you truly know an artist if we don 't see such interactions ? " Becky Bain from website Idolator favored Perry 's live voice and her natural presentation , though she was ambivalent towards the decision of giving the songs an acoustic treatment . She went on to say that the MTV Unplugged versions of Perry 's songs were not able to substitute the " glossy originals " . Simon Vozick @-@ Levinson from Entertainment Weekly gave the live album a D , opining that " the stripped @-@ down treatment of MTV Unplugged does Perry 's yowling voice no favors " , and that " [ the ] songs just aren 't solid enough to stand on their own without loads of glossy production " . Catherine Lewis of The Washington Post praised Perry 's " translate her more rambunctious numbers into an acoustic format " and wrote album was " definitely a step in a good — and unexpected — direction " . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-3617 | On 10 March , Yashima and her sister Fuji , under the command of Rear Admiral Nashiba Tokioki , blindly bombarded the harbour of Port Arthur from Pigeon Bay , on the southwest side of the Liaodong Peninsula , at a range of 9 @.@ 5 kilometres ( 5 @.@ 9 mi ) . They fired 154 twelve @-@ inch shells , but did little damage . When they tried again on 22 March , they were attacked by Russian coast defence guns that had been transferred there by the new Russian commander , Vice Admiral Stepan Makarov , and also from several Russian ships in Port Arthur using observers overlooking Pigeon Bay .

wikipedia_2018-3618 | After the United States declared war on Germany in April 1917 , the United States Army , needing transports to get its men and materiel to France , had a select committee of shipping executives pore over registries of American shipping . The committee selected Henry R.

wikipedia_2018-3619 | Tropical Storm Gabrielle caused moderate flooding in northeastern Mexico and southern Texas in August 1995 . The eighth tropical cyclone and seventh named storm of the 1995 Atlantic hurricane season , Gabrielle developed from a tropical wave in the west @-@ central Gulf of Mexico on August 9 . Initially a tropical depression , the system gradually intensified and by the following day , it became a tropical storm . Favorable conditions caused Gabrielle to continue to strengthen , with the storm nearly reaching hurricane status late on August 11 . However , it soon made landfall near La Pesca , Tamaulipas , thus halting further intensification . Once inland , Gabrielle rapidly weakened and dissipated by early on August 12 . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-3620 | Five of the ten covers were surrealist , which was an unusual artistic choice for a genre magazine . The cover painting for the first issue was by Richard M. Powers ; Gold was one of the very few American magazine editors to use his work , though Powers was prolific in providing artwork for paperback covers . In addition to Powers , René Vidmer and Arthur <unk> ( among others ) contributed cover art . The magazine also carried interior artwork , usually multiple illustrations , for almost every story ; in addition , each story included a facsimile of the author 's signature , set at the end of the text . The best @-@ known interior artist Beyond used was Ed Emshwiller , though there were several other regular artists . The magazine carried almost no non @-@ fiction , though there were occasional " filler " pieces to occupy spaces at the end of stories . The publication contained no book reviews , and only the first issue carried an editorial . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-3621 | The music was composed by Hitoshi Sakimoto , who had also worked on the previous Valkyria Chronicles games . When he originally heard about the project , he thought it would be a light tone similar to other Valkyria Chronicles games , but found the themes much darker than expected . An early theme he designed around his original vision of the project was rejected . He <unk> the main theme about seven times through the music production due to this need to reassess the game . The main theme was initially recorded using orchestra , then Sakimoto removed elements such as the guitar and bass , then adjusted the theme using a synthesizer before redoing segments such as the guitar piece on their own before incorporating them into the theme . The rejected main theme was used as a hopeful tune that played during the game 's ending . The battle themes were designed around the concept of a " modern battle " divorced from a fantasy scenario by using modern musical instruments , constructed to create a sense of atonality . While Sakimoto was most used to working with synthesized music , he felt that he needed to incorporate live instruments such as orchestra and guitar . The guitar was played by Mitsuhiro Ohta , who also arranged several of the later tracks . The game 's opening theme song , " If You Wish for ... " ( <unk> , <unk> Kimi ga <unk> Nara ) , was sung by Japanese singer May 'n . Its theme was the reason soldiers fought , in particular their wish to protect what was precious to them rather than a sense of responsibility or duty . Its lyrics were written by Seiko Fujibayashi , who had worked on May 'n on previous singles . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-3622 | A Confession of Faith to replace the Thirty @-@ Nine Articles was begun in August 1646 . While there is little record of the actions of the Assembly during the writing of the Confession , it is clear that there were significant debates in the Assembly over almost every doctrine found in it . The Confession was printed and sent to Parliament in December . The House of Commons requested scripture citations be added to the Confession , which were provided in April 1648 . Parliament approved the Confession with revisions to the chapters on church censures , synods and councils , and marriage on 20 June 1648 . The General Assembly of the Church of Scotland had already adopted the Confession without revision in 1647 . The restoration of Charles II in 1660 effectively made this legislation a nullity . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-3623 | Old Baltimore Pike is a road in the U.S. state of Delaware . The road , known as New Castle County Road 26 , runs from Maryland Route 281 ( MD 281 ) at the Maryland state line south of Newark , Delaware and continues east to Christiana , ending near Delaware Route 1 ( DE 1 ) . The road is paralleled by Interstate 95 ( I @-@ 95 , Delaware Turnpike ) to the north and U.S. Route 40 ( US 40 , Pulaski Highway ) to the south . The Old Baltimore Pike was built before 1720 and connected Elkton , Maryland to Christiana . It was a turnpike called the Elk and Christiana Turnpike between 1817 and 1838 . In the past it served as a major connection between Philadelphia and Baltimore . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-3626 | Later in the 18th century , the French philosopher Georges @-@ Louis Leclerc , Comte de Buffon , one of the leading naturalists of the time , suggested that what most people referred to as species were really just well @-@ marked varieties , modified from an original form by environmental factors . For example , he believed that lions , tigers , leopards and house cats might all have a common ancestor . He further speculated that the 200 or so species of mammals then known might have descended from as few as 38 original animal forms . Buffon 's evolutionary ideas were limited ; he believed each of the original forms had arisen through spontaneous generation and that each was shaped by " internal moulds " that limited the amount of change . Buffon 's works , Histoire naturelle ( 1749 – 1789 ) and Époques de la nature ( 1778 ) , containing well @-@ developed theories about a completely materialistic origin for the Earth and his ideas questioning the fixity of species , were extremely influential . Another French philosopher , Denis Diderot , also wrote that living things might have first arisen through spontaneous generation , and that species were always changing through a constant process of experiment where new forms arose and survived or not based on trial and error ; an idea that can be considered a partial anticipation of natural selection . Between 1767 and 1792 , James Burnett , Lord <unk> , included in his writings not only the concept that man had descended from primates , but also that , in response to the environment , creatures had found methods of transforming their characteristics over long time intervals . Charles Darwin 's grandfather , Erasmus Darwin , published Zoonomia ( 1794 – 1796 ) which suggested that " all warm @-@ blooded animals have arisen from one living filament . " In his poem Temple of Nature ( 1803 ) , he described the rise of life from minute organisms living in mud to all of its modern diversity . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-3627 | Leake 's fleet reassembled at St. John 's on 7 September . He then detached about half the fleet , led by the Medway and Charles Galley , to return to Saint Pierre to destroy it , while he took the other half north toward Bonavista . There he hoped to acquire experienced pilots with knowledge of other French harbours . Failing in this endeavour ( none of the pilots he found had the needed experience , and also expressed concerns over the advancing winter conditions ) , he returned to St. John 's . He was met there on 2 October by the other half of the fleet , which had completed the destruction of Saint Pierre . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-3628 | The Mari Lwyd custom was performed during wither festivities , specifically around the dates of Christmas and New Year .

wikipedia_2018-3630 | Mammalian predators , in contrast to birds , rely on their sense of smell and hearing to find prey and often hunt by night . The kakapo 's adaptations to avoid avian predation have thus been useless against its new enemies – this is one of the reasons for its massive decline since the introduction of dogs , cats and mustelids – see Conservation : Human impact . A typical way for humans to hunt down the kakapo is by releasing trained dogs . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-3632 | During this time , Project 86 distanced themselves from the Christian market to a certain extent , due to having more general market opportunities for touring , as well as a natural shift in marketing emphasis from the label . According to Andree Farias of Christianity Today , " Their commitment with Atlantic required them to give precedence to their newfound mainstream audience . " While their first single , " Hollow Again , " gained respectable traction at rock radio , Atlantic did not release their second single , " Your Heroes are Dead " to alternative radio due to concerns about the lyrics in light of 9 / 11 .

wikipedia_2018-3635 | The pike and shot infantry had by this time adopted a system in which arquebusiers and pikemen were intermingled in combined units ; both the French and the Imperial infantry contained men with firearms interspersed in the larger columns of pikemen . This combination of pikes and small arms made close @-@ quarters fighting extremely bloody . The mixed infantry was normally placed in separate clusters , with the arquebusiers on the flanks of a central column of pikemen ; at Ceresole , however , the French infantry had been arranged with the first rank of pikemen followed immediately by a rank of arquebusiers , who were ordered to hold their fire until the two columns met .

wikipedia_2018-3637 | Conan was developed to be released on the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 . Although the architectures of the two consoles were very different , Nihilistic designed its product to perform equally on both of them , using force feedback and motion sensing to enhance the playing experience . Conan was originally scheduled for an early 2008 release , but was brought forward to the second half of 2007 because of THQ 's poor performance in that fiscal year . After the game was released in Europe , Nihilistic made demos of the game available for downloading over Xbox Live and PlayStation Network . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-3638 | The 12th and 13th centuries saw a huge development of the English economy . This was partially driven by the growth in the population from around 1 @.@ 5 million at the time of the creation of the Domesday Book in 1086 to between 4 and 5 million in 1300 . England remained a primarily agricultural economy , with the rights of major landowners and the duties of serfs increasingly enshrined in English law . More land , much of it at the expense of the royal forests , was brought into production to feed the growing population or to produce wool for export to Europe . Many hundreds of new towns , some of them planned , sprung up across England , supporting the creation of guilds , charter fairs and other important medieval institutions .

wikipedia_2018-3663 | The formation of globular clusters remains a poorly understood phenomenon and it remains uncertain whether the stars in a globular cluster form in a single generation or are spawned across multiple generations over a period of several hundred million years . In many globular clusters , most of the stars are at approximately the same stage in stellar evolution , suggesting that they formed at about the same time . However , the star formation history varies from cluster to cluster , with some clusters showing distinct populations of stars . An example of this is the globular clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud ( LMC ) that exhibit a bimodal population . During their youth , these LMC clusters may have encountered giant molecular clouds that triggered a second round of star formation . This star @-@ forming period is relatively brief , compared to the age of many globular clusters . It has also been proposed that the reason for this multiplicity in stellar populations could have a dynamical origin . In the Antennae galaxy , for example , the Hubble Space Telescope has observed clusters of clusters , regions in the galaxy that span hundreds of parsecs , where many of the clusters will eventually collide and merge . Many of them present a significant range in ages , hence possibly metallicities , and their merger could plausibly lead to clusters with a bimodal or even multiple distribution of populations . | wikipedia-2018 |
