wikipedia_2018-4303 | Above all it was Swedish Carl Linnaeus ( 1707 – 1778 ) who eased the task of plant cataloguing . He adopted a sexual system of classification using stamens and pistils as important characters . Among his most important publications were Systema Naturae ( 1735 ) , Genera Plantarum ( 1737 ) , and Philosophia Botanica ( 1751 ) but it was in his Species Plantarum ( 1753 ) that he gave every species a binomial thus setting the path for the future accepted method of designating the names of all organisms . Linnaean thought and books dominated the world of taxonomy for nearly a century . His sexual system was later elaborated by Bernard de Jussieu ( 1699 – 1777 ) whose nephew Antoine @-@ Laurent de Jussieu ( 1748 – 1836 ) extended it yet again to include about 100 orders ( present @-@ day families ) . Frenchman Michel Adanson ( 1727 – 1806 ) in his <unk> des Plantes ( 1763 , 1764 ) , apart from extending the current system of family names , emphasized that a natural classification must be based on a consideration of all characters , even though these may later be given different emphasis according to their diagnostic value for the particular plant group . Adanson 's method has , in essence , been followed to this day . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-4314 | Haumea 's mass is about one @-@ third that of Pluto , and 1 / 1400 that of Earth . Although its shape has not been directly observed , calculations from its light curve indicate that it is a triaxial ellipsoid , with its major axis twice as long as its minor . Its gravity is thought to be sufficient for it to have relaxed into hydrostatic equilibrium , making it a dwarf planet . Haumea 's elongated shape together with its rapid rotation , high density , and high albedo ( from a surface of crystalline water ice ) , are thought to be the consequences of a giant collision , which left Haumea the largest member of a collisional family that includes several large trans @-@ Neptunian objects ( TNOs ) and Haumea 's two known moons , Hiʻiaka and Namaka . | wikipedia-2018 |

" Dan Compora of SyFy Portal called " Part 1 " " an excellent setup episode [ with ] fast pace , important revelations , and nearly a full utilization of the cast " . Compora decided that " certain characters work much better in very small doses … a little bit of [ Hurley ] goes a long way [ and ] it was nice to see Jack featured without completely dominating an episode . " Oscar Dahl of BuddyTV summed up Part 1 as " very good " , but said that the opening flashforward in which the Oceanic Six are reunited with their families was anticlimactic and " although each flashforward scene had minor and major revelations , it felt patched together and a little sloppy , like Lindelof and Cuse had all this ground to cover in their quest to link all the action up to the final scene of season 3 … That said , the flashforward scenes all played out exceedingly well . " Daniel of TMZ welcomed the return of Richard ( on the island ) and gave the episode an " A " , saying that it had " more than a few fantastic scenes . All the flashforward scenes tonight were right on the money as far as I was concerned . " Jay Glatfelter of The Huffington Post " really liked this episode " and concluded that it " definitely showcased the new breath of life the fourth season gave to the show . " | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-4333 | Although the many different and unknown radioactive half @-@ lives in the experiment 's results showed that several nuclear reactions were occurring , Fermi 's group could not prove that element 93 was being created unless they could isolate it chemically . They and many other scientists attempted to accomplish this , including Otto Hahn and Lise Meitner who were among the best <unk> in the world at the time and supporters of Fermi 's claim , but they all failed . Much later , it was determined that the main reason for this failure was because the predictions of element 93 's chemical properties were based on a periodic table which lacked the actinide series . This arrangement placed protactinium below tantalum , uranium below tungsten , and further suggested that element 93 , at that point referred to as eka @-@ rhenium , should be similar to the group 7 elements , including manganese and rhenium . Thorium , protactinium , and uranium , with their dominant oxidation states of + 4 , + 5 , and + 6 respectively , fooled scientists into thinking they belonged below hafnium , tantalum , and tungsten , rather than below the lanthanide series , which was at the time viewed as a fluke , and whose members all have dominant + 3 states ; neptunium , on the other hand , has a much weaker , more unstable + 7 state , with + 4 and + 5 being the most stable . Upon finding that plutonium and the other transuranic elements also have dominant + 3 and + 4 states , along with the discovery of the f @-@ block , the actinide series was firmly established . | wikipedia-2018 |

Although Parsons subscribed to the People 's Daily World and joined the American Civil Liberties Union ( ACLU ) , he refused to join the American Communist Party , causing a break in his and Weinbaum 's friendship . This coupled with the need to focus on paid employment led to the disintegration of much of the Rocket Research Group , leaving only its three founding members by late 1938 . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-4353 | Doug Storer , who was an advertising manager with the Blackman Company at the time , became convinced of Como 's abilities after hearing him on his non @-@ sponsored CBS Radio show . Storer produced a demo radio program recording with Como and the Mitchell Ayres Orchestra which he brought to the advertising agency that handled the Chesterfield Cigarettes account . Initially , the agency liked the format of the show , but wanted someone else as the star , asking Storer to obtain the release of the singer they preferred , so he would be free for their new program . Storer decided to do nothing about getting the singer released from his contract . When he was contacted by the agency some weeks later , saying they were ready to put the program on the air on NBC , Storer bluntly told them the man for their show was the man they had heard on the demo recording . The program was scheduled to make its debut in about a week ; the only option was to hire Como for the show . Storer then arranged for Como 's release from his CBS contract . On December 11 , 1944 , he moved from CBS to NBC for a new radio program , Chesterfield Supper Club . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-4366 | Trapalcotherium is a fossil mammal from the Cretaceous of Argentina in the family Ferugliotheriidae . The single species , T. matuastensis , is known from one tooth , a first lower molar . It is from the Allen Formation , which is probably Maastrichtian in age , and was first described in 2009 . The tooth bears two rows of cusps , one at the inner ( lingual ) side and the other at the outer ( labial ) side , which are connected by transverse ridges separated by deep valleys . This pattern is reminiscent of Ferugliotherium , a gondwanathere mammal from similarly aged deposits in Argentina , and Trapalcotherium is therefore recognized as a member of the same family Ferugliotheriidae . Ferugliotheriidae is one of two families of gondwanatheres , an enigmatic group without close relationships to any living mammals . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-4373 | Wayne MacLaurin of SF Site describes the module as " a classic " and a " must have " for gamers , saying that when he played the game in high school , most of his group 's characters quickly died . MacLaurin explains that Tomb of Horrors is a classic not because of its difficulty , but because it was the first module that did not involve killing large amounts of monsters ; it was a " collection of puzzles and maps . " Its focus on traps rather than monsters was a surprise to gamers at the time . One technique that some players used to get past the <unk> was to drive cattle ahead of them , which Lore Sjöberg of Wired described as " a bit less than heroic " , noting that in Lord of the Rings Gandalf did not send " 50 head of cattle into the Mines of Moria to serve as Balrog bait .

wikipedia_2018-4375 | The pilot episode , which was filmed over a period of 21 days , served as the basis for additional tweaking of intended story lines . Long creative discussions took place among the writers and the network , leading to the postponement of the filming of the second episode for fourteen months . One major change was the addition of extra material for Brother Justin 's side of the story . Brother Justin was originally conceived as a well @-@ established preacher , and as a recurring character rather than a regular one . However , after perusing the preliminary version of the pilot , Knauf and the producers realized that there was no room for Justin to grow in a television series . Hence , it was decided to make Brother Justin an ordinary Methodist minister in a small town , setting him back in his career by about one or two years . Expanding Brother Justin 's role opened new possibilities , and his sister Iris was created as a supporting character . Little was changed on Ben Hawkins ' side except for the addition of the cootch ( striptease ) family ; a Carnivàle consultant had elated the producers by calling attention to his research about families managing cootch shows in the 1930s . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-4385 | Voluntary employment increased sharply during 1940 and 1941 , both among indigenous blacks and migrant labourers , but many white farmers still complained about a lack of manpower . A severe drought during the 1941 – 42 season led to a food shortage in the colony , prompting the passing in June 1942 of the Compulsory Native Labour Act , under which unemployed black males between 18 and 45 years of age could be conscripted for work on white @-@ owned farms . Announcing the act , Tredgold — by now Minister of Native Affairs in addition to Defence and Justice — commented that its " principle ... would be intolerable under ordinary circumstances " , but that the war made it necessary . The act required each draftee to work at least three months at 15s / - per month ; the pay rose to 17s / 6 if he agreed to stay a further three months . This conscription of labour contributed to the rise in the country 's overall agricultural yield , but had a negative impact on the localised production of many kraals , either because too many men had been drafted for work elsewhere or because they had fled to avoid it . The scheme continued until the act 's repeal in 1946 . | wikipedia-2018 |
