wikipedia_2018-3800 | UGA created the music game Space Channel 5 , in which players help a female outer space news reporter named Ulala fight aliens with " groove energy " by dancing . Intended for a " female casual " audience , Space Channel 5 is considered one of Sega 's " most daring and beloved " original properties , combining a " defiantly retro " and " uplifting " soundtrack with " dazzling " and " colorful " visual presentation — despite " a lack of real gameplay substance . " Neither Space Channel 5 nor UGA 's Rez were commercially successful , and the latter title was only available in the U.S. market through a PS2 port released in limited quantities . Hitmaker 's arcade ports included Crazy Taxi — an open world arcade racing game known for its addictive gameplay , which sold over one million copies and has been frequently cited as one of the best Dreamcast games — and Virtua Tennis — which revitalized the tennis game genre with a simple two @-@ button control scheme and use of minigames to test the player 's technique . Smilebit 's Jet Set Radio — in which players control a Tokyo @-@ based gang of youthful , rebellious inline skaters called the " <unk> " , who use graffiti to claim territory from rival gangs while evading an oppressive police force — has been cited as a major example of Sega 's commitment to original game concepts during the Dreamcast 's lifespan . Lauded for composer Hideki <unk> 's " punchy , psychedelic " soundtrack incorporating elements of " J @-@ pop and electro @-@ funk " as well as its message of " self @-@ expression and non @-@ violent dissent " , the game also popularized cel shaded graphics .

wikipedia_2018-3807 | Countless results in number theory invoke the fundamental theorem of arithmetic and the algebraic properties of even numbers , so the above choices have far @-@ reaching consequences . For example , the fact that positive numbers have unique factorizations means that one can determine whether a number has an even or odd number of distinct prime factors . Since 1 is not prime , nor does it have prime factors , it is a product of 0 distinct primes ; since 0 is an even number , 1 has an even number of distinct prime factors . This implies that the Möbius function takes the value μ ( 1 ) = 1 , which is necessary for it to be a multiplicative function and for the Möbius inversion formula to work . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-3811 | The postcranial anatomy of Heterodontosaurus tucki has been well @-@ described , although H. tucki is generally considered the most derived of the Early Jurassic heterodontosaurids , so it is impossible to know how many of its features were shared with other species . The forelimbs were long for a dinosaur , over 70 % of the length of the hindlimbs . The well @-@ developed deltopectoral crest ( a ridge for the attachment of chest and shoulder muscles ) of the humerus and prominent olecranon process ( where muscles that extend the forearm were attached ) of the ulna indicate that the forelimb was powerful as well . There were five digits on the manus ( ' hand ' ) . The first was large , tipped with a sharply curved claw , and would rotate inwards when flexed ; Robert Bakker called it the ' twist @-@ thumb ' . The second digit was the longest , slightly longer than the third . Both of these digits bore claws , while the <unk> fourth and fifth digits were very small and simple in comparison . In the hindlimb , the tibia was 30 % longer than the femur , which is generally considered an adaptation for speed . The tibia and fibula of the lower leg were fused to the astragalus and calcaneum of the ankle , forming a ' <unk> ' convergently with modern birds . Also similarly to birds , the lower tarsal ( ankle ) bones and metatarsals were fused to form a ' tarsometatarsus . ' There are four digits in the pes ( hindfoot ) , with only the second , third , and fourth contacting the ground . The tail , unlike many other ornithischians , did not have ossified tendons to maintain a rigid posture and was probably flexible . The fragmentary skeleton known for Abrictosaurus has never been fully described , although the forelimb and manus were smaller than in Heterodontosaurus . Also , the fourth and fifth digits of the forelimb each bear one fewer phalanx bone . | wikipedia-2018 |

However , plans for the underwater protection — the ships ' main defense against torpedoes and shells that fell short of the ship but traveled through the water to hit underneath the waterline — could not be worked out in time . The problem was that tests in caissons — experiments that would eventually prove that a series of compartments divided between being filled with liquid and being left empty would be a very effective defense against torpedoes — were not yet complete .

Although neptunium oxides have not been produced with neptunium in oxidations as high as those possible with the adjacent actinide uranium , neptunium oxides are more stable at lower oxidation levels .

wikipedia_2018-3867 | With the publication of the Privy Council report in April 1789 and following months of planning , Wilberforce commenced his parliamentary campaign . On 12 May 1789 , he made his first major speech on the subject of abolition in the House of Commons , in which he reasoned that the trade was morally reprehensible and an issue of natural justice . Drawing on Thomas Clarkson 's mass of evidence , he described in detail the appalling conditions in which slaves travelled from Africa in the middle passage , and argued that abolishing the trade would also bring an improvement to the conditions of existing slaves in the West Indies . He moved 12 resolutions condemning the slave trade , but made no reference to the abolition of slavery itself , instead dwelling on the potential for reproduction in the existing slave population should the trade be abolished . With the tide running against them , the opponents of abolition delayed the vote by proposing that the House of Commons hear its own evidence , and Wilberforce , in a move that has subsequently been criticised for prolonging the slave trade , reluctantly agreed . The hearings were not completed by the end of the parliamentary session , and were deferred until the following year . In the meantime , Wilberforce and Clarkson tried unsuccessfully to take advantage of the egalitarian atmosphere of the French Revolution to press for France 's abolition of the trade , which was , in any event , to be abolished in 1794 as a result of the bloody slave revolt in St. Domingue ( later to be known as Haiti ) , although later briefly restored by Napoleon in 1802 . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-3883 | As the most egregious offence an individual could commit , viewed as seriously as though the accused had personally attacked the monarch , high treason demanded the ultimate punishment . But whereas men guilty of this crime were hanged , drawn and quartered , women were drawn and burned . In his Commentaries on the Laws of England the 18th @-@ century English jurist William Blackstone noted that the sentence , " to be drawn to the gallows , and there to be burned alive " , was " full as terrible to the sensation as the other " . Blackstone wrote that women were burned rather than quartered as " the decency due to the sex forbids the exposing and publicly mangling their bodies " . However , an observation by historian Jules Michelet , that " the first flame to rise consumed the clothes , revealing poor trembling nakedness " , may , in the opinion of historian Vic Gatrell , suggest that this solution is " misconceived " . In The Hanging Tree , Gatrell concludes that the occasional live burial of women in Europe gave tacit acknowledgement to the possibility that a struggling , kicking female hanging from a noose could " elicit obscene fantasies " from watching males . | wikipedia-2018 |
