Five new schools were opened within four years of the act and by 1633 there were at least twenty @-@ five . Most of those without song schools made provision within their grammar schools . Polyphony was incorporated into editions of the Psalter from 1625 , but usually with the congregation singing the melody and trained singers the contra @-@ tenor , treble and bass parts . However , the triumph of the Presbyterians in the National Covenant of 1638 led to and end of polyphony and a new psalter in common metre , but without tunes , was published in 1650 . In 1666 The Twelve Tunes for the Church of Scotland , composed in Four Parts ( which actually contained 14 tunes ) , designed for use with the 1650 Psalter , was first published in Aberdeen . It would go through five editions by 1720 . By the late seventeenth century these two works had become the basic corpus of the psalmody sung in the kirk . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-4007 | According to literary critic Mary Ellen Snodgrass , Irish Thoroughbred is not as polished as later Roberts works . Snodgrass cites many predictable elements , including the core " confrontation between an overconfident male and an assertive girl @-@ woman " . Throughout the 1970s and early 1980s , romance novel heroines were generally " trembling virgins " , of an inferior class and power level than the hero . The hero often was very rich and powerful , while the heroine worked in traditional , subordinate , female roles , such as governess or secretary . The heroine of Irish Thoroughbred conformed to this pattern in part , by being sexually inexperienced , immature , and poor , but Roberts deliberately deviated from the rest of the stereotype by providing her with a hot @-@ tempered and independent personality . Her later books have continued in the same vein . As Roberts explains , " My heroine may have problems , she may be vulnerable , but she has to be strong , she has to be intelligent . She has to be independent and so does he , or I 'm not interested in telling their stories . " The popularity of this book and Roberts 's subsequent novels helped transform the genre , making authors more willing to give heroes and heroines economic and emotional parity . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-4020 | Lilioid monocots ( lilioids , <unk> monocots , petaloid monocots , petaloid lilioid monocots ) is an informal name used for a grade ( grouping of taxa with common characteristics ) of five monocot orders ( Petrosaviales , Dioscoreales , Pandanales , Liliales and Asparagales ) in which the majority of species have flowers with relatively large , coloured tepals . This characteristic is similar to that found in lilies ( " lily @-@ like " ) . <unk> monocots refers to the flowers having tepals which all resemble petals ( petaloid ) . The taxonomic terms Lilianae or Liliiflorae have also been applied to this assemblage at various times .

wikipedia_2018-4026 | Beginning in 1920 , a Mau movement , from the Samoan word for " opposition " , was forming in American Samoa in protest of several Naval government policies , some of which had been implemented by Terhune but which were not revoked following his death , which natives ( and some non @-@ natives ) found heavy @-@ handed . The movement itself may have been inspired by a different and older Mau movement in nearby Western Samoa , against the German and then New Zealand colonial powers . Some of the initial grievances of the movement included the quality of roads in the territory , a marriage law which largely forbade natives from marrying non @-@ natives , and a justice system which discriminated against locals in part because laws were not often available in Samoan . In addition , the United States Navy also prohibited an assembly of Samoan chiefs , whom the movement considered the real government of the territory . Surprisingly , the movement had grown to include several prominent officers of former Governor Terhune 's staff , including his executive officer . It culminated in a proclamation by Samuel S. Ripley , an American Samoan from an <unk> or mixed @-@ blood Samoan family , with large communal property in the islands , that he was the leader of a legitimate successor government to pre @-@ 1899 Samoa .

wikipedia_2018-4031 | Several obstacles have been encountered in the development of astatine @-@ based radiopharmaceuticals for cancer treatment . World War II delayed research for close to a decade . Results of early experiments indicated that a cancer @-@ selective carrier would need to be developed and it was not until the 1970s that monoclonal antibodies became available for this purpose . Unlike iodine , astatine shows a tendency to <unk> from molecular carriers such as these , particularly at sp3 carbon sites ( less so from <unk> sites ) . Given the toxicity of astatine accumulated and retained in the body , this emphasized the need to ensure it remained attached to its host molecule . While astatine carriers that are slowly metabolized can be assessed for their efficacy , more rapidly metabolized carriers remain a significant obstacle to the evaluation of astatine in nuclear medicine . Mitigating the effects of astatine induced radiolysis of labeling chemistry and carrier molecules is another area requiring further development . A practical application for astatine as a cancer treatment would potentially be suitable for a " staggering " number of patients ; production of astatine in the quantities that would be required remains an issue . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-4036 | No French reinforcements reached the East Indies in 1797 . A complex strategy had been developed to land an army in Ireland and then use the invasion fleet to attack India as a secondary objective . This ambitious plan collapsed completely during the failed Expédition d 'Irlande in December 1796 in which thousands of French troops were drowned . The strategic situation in Europe had however shifted once more during 1796 when France and Spain signed the Treaty of San Ildefonso , transferring Spain from an ally of Britain to an ally of France . British attention in the East Indies therefore shifted from the French island territories to the Spanish Philippines , where the defence squadron had been badly damaged in a hurricane in April 1797 and was in dock for extensive repairs . British forces were once again in the ascendant , Rainier commanding five ships of the line , one fourth rate ship and six frigates . Extensive plans were developed by Rainier in conjunction with Sir John Shore , Governor @-@ General of India , and Colonel Arthur Wellesley for a major attack on Manila , to be led by Sir James Craig . The Treaty of Campo Formio and the consequent end of the War of the First Coalition in Europe caused the cancellation of these plans ; Britain now fought France and its allies alone and fears were raised that the Tipu Sultan of Mysore might once again attack British colonies in India . To ensure the safety of the 1798 China Fleet from Spanish attack , in July 1797 Rainier deployed Centurion , HMS Sybille and HMS Fox to escort a convoy of East Indiamen to Macau . After seeing his charges into harbour in December , Captain Edward Cooke investigated Manila himself in Sybille , accompanied by Fox . There he discovered the weak state of the Spanish squadron . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-4037 | Brown bears typically dominate wolf packs in disputes over carcasses , while wolf packs mostly prevail against bears when defending their den sites . Both species kill each other 's young . Wolves eat the brown bears they kill , while brown bears seem to only eat young wolves . Wolf interactions with American black bears are much rarer than with brown bears , because of differences in habitat preferences . The majority of black bear encounters with wolves occur in the species ' northern range , with no interactions being recorded in Mexico . Wolves have been recorded on numerous occasions to actively seek out black bears in their dens and kill them without eating them . Unlike brown bears , black bears frequently lose against wolves in disputes over kills . While encounters with brown and black bears appear to be common , polar bears are rarely encountered by wolves , though there are two records of wolf packs killing polar bear cubs . Wolves also kill the cubs of Asian black bears . | wikipedia-2018 |

As it moved away from the coast , an eye began to form . Shortly thereafter , shear increased and began to separate the low from the deep convection . By the afternoon of October 21 , the storm was poorly organized and the center was partially exposed . At this time , the weakening system had winds sustained at 50 mph ( 85 km / h ) . Early on October 22 , a brief burst in showers and thunderstorms allowed the storm to maintain its intensity . That evening , Kiko was downgraded to a tropical depression as strong wind shear removed convection from the storm 's center and exposed the low . As the depression moved over a dryer and more hostile area , two inhibiting factors for development of tropical cyclones , it slowly weakened . It lost almost all convection and degenerated to a remnant low @-@ pressure area on October 23 , and the National Hurricane Center issued its final advisory that night .

" Second , White begins the game with some initiative , although Rowson regards this as a psychological rather than a positional advantage , " and whether it leads to a positional advantage depends on the relative skill of the players . " Third , some players are able to use the initiative to " play a kind of powerful ' serve and volley ' chess in which Black is flattened with a mixture of deep preparation and attacking prowess . " Fourth , " If White wants to draw , it is often not so easy for Black to prevent this . This advantage is particularly acute in cases where there is a possible threefold repetition , because White can begin the repetition without committing to a draw and Black has to decide whether to deviate before he knows whether White is bluffing .
