wikipedia_2018-4603 | Eugenides is of Greek heritage , albeit only through his father 's side . Although his paternal grandparents were not siblings like the Stephanides , they were silk farmers like their fictional counterparts . Cal 's learning of Greek customs to better understand his grandparents mirrored Eugenides ' own actions to do likewise . The Zebra Room and the bartender profession are other items shared by their grandfathers ; Eugenides said the inclusion of the bar was a deliberate " secret code of paying homage to my grandparents and my parents " . Several aspects of Chapter Eleven were based on Eugenides ' elder brother , who withdrew from society during a " hippie phase " in his life . While revising and editing the book , the author removed information that could be offensive to his relatives . Not all such material was excised , Eugenides said , " There may still be things in there that will sting . " | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-4606 | Launched by a Saturn V rocket from Kennedy Space Center in Merritt Island , Florida , on July 16 , Apollo 11 was the fifth manned mission of NASA 's Apollo program . The Apollo spacecraft had three parts : a Command Module ( CM ) with a cabin for the three astronauts , and the only part that landed back on Earth ; a Service Module ( SM ) , which supported the Command Module with propulsion , electrical power , oxygen , and water ; and a Lunar Module ( LM ) that had two stages – a lower stage for landing on the Moon , and an upper stage to place the astronauts back into lunar orbit . After being sent toward the Moon by the Saturn V 's upper stage , the astronauts separated the spacecraft from it and traveled for three days until they entered into lunar orbit . Armstrong and Aldrin then moved into the Lunar Module Eagle and landed in the Sea of Tranquility . They stayed a total of about 21 @.@ 5 hours on the lunar surface . The astronauts used Eagle 's upper stage to lift off from the lunar surface and rejoin Collins in the Command Module . They jettisoned Eagle before they performed the maneuvers that blasted them out of lunar orbit on a trajectory back to Earth .

wikipedia_2018-4608 | Lemurs are hunted for food by the local Malagasy , either for local subsistence or to supply a luxury meat market in the larger cities . Most rural Malagasy do not understand what " endangered " means , nor do they know that hunting lemurs is illegal or that lemurs are found only in Madagascar . Many Malagasy have taboo , or fady , about hunting and eating lemurs , but this does not prevent hunting in many regions . Even though hunting has been a threat to lemur populations in the past , it has recently become a more serious threat as socioeconomic conditions deteriorate . Economic hardships have caused people to move around the country in search of employment , leading local traditions to break down . Drought and famine can also relax the fady that protect lemurs . Larger species , such as sifakas and ruffed lemurs , are common targets , but smaller species are also hunted or accidentally caught in snares intended for larger prey . Experienced , organized hunting parties using firearms , slings and blowguns can kill as many as eight to twenty lemurs in one trip . Organized hunting parties and lemur traps can be found in both non @-@ protected areas and remote corners of protected areas . National parks and other protected areas are not adequately protected by law enforcement agencies . Often , there are too few park rangers to cover a large area , and sometimes terrain within the park is too rugged to check regularly . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-4610 | Boulder problems are generally shorter than 20 feet ( 6 @.@ 1 m ) from ground to top . This makes the sport significantly safer than free solo climbing , which is also performed without ropes , but with no upper limit on the height of the climb . However , minor injuries are common in bouldering , particularly sprained ankles and wrists . Two factors contribute to the frequency of injuries in bouldering : first , boulder problems typically feature more difficult moves than other climbing disciplines , making falls more common . Second , without ropes to arrest the climber 's descent , every fall will cause the climber to hit the ground . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-4611 | Hydnellum diabolus ( the species epithet is given the neuter <unk> in some publications ) has a very similar appearance , so much so that some consider it and H. peckii to be synonymous ; H. diabolus is said to have a sweetish pungent odor that is lacking in H. peckii . The differences between the two species are amplified in mature specimens : H. diabolus has an irregularly thickened stem , while the stem of H. peckii is thickened by a " definite spongy layer " . Additionally , old specimens of H. peckii have a smooth cap , while H. diabolus is tomentose . The related species H. pineticola also exudes pink droplets of liquid when young and moist . Commonly found growing under conifers in northeastern North America , H. pineticola tastes " unpleasant " , but not acrid . Fruit bodies tend to grow singly , rather than in fused clusters , and , unlike H. peckii , they do not have bulbous stems . | wikipedia-2018 |

Sometime during 1864 , Longacre sharpened his design for use in striking the softer bronze pieces , and also added his initial " L " . It is not known when this was done ; it may have been as early as May , with the new dies used alongside the old . These bronze pieces are often referred to as " 1864 @-@ L " and " 1864 No L " . The " L " is known on 1863 @-@ dated pieces , in both metals , and on 1864 @-@ dated copper @-@ nickel pieces — some of these issues , all extremely rare , were likely struck at a later date .

wikipedia_2018-4619 | El Greco 's re @-@ evaluation was not limited to scholars . According to <unk> <unk> , " painters and theoreticians from the beginning of the 20th century ' discovered ' a new El Greco but in process they also discovered and revealed their own selves " . His expressiveness and colors influenced Eugène Delacroix and Édouard Manet . To the Blaue Reiter group in Munich in 1912 , El Greco typified that mystical inner construction that it was the task of their generation to rediscover . The first painter who appears to have noticed the structural code in the morphology of the mature El Greco was Paul Cézanne , one of the forerunners of cubism . Comparative morphological analyses of the two painters revealed their common elements , such as the distortion of the human body , the reddish and ( in appearance only ) unworked backgrounds and the similarities in the rendering of space . According to Brown , " Cézanne and El Greco are spiritual brothers despite the centuries which separate them " . Fry observed that Cézanne drew from " his great discovery of the permeation of every part of the design with a uniform and continuous plastic theme " . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-4639 | RMS Titanic Inc. has also attempted to secure exclusive physical access to the wreck site . In 1996 , it obtained a court order finding that it had " the exclusive right to take any and all types of photographic images of the Titanic wreck and wreck site .

This was overturned in March 1999 by the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit , which ruled that the law of salvage did not extend to obtaining exclusive rights to view , visit and photograph a wreck . The court pointed out that Titanic is " located in a public place " in international waters , rather than in a private or controllable location to which access could be restricted by the owner . Granting such a right would also create a perverse incentive ; since the aim of salvage is to carry out a salvage operation , leaving property in place so that it could be photographed would run counter to this objective . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-4671 | Despite the critical acclaim " Ulysses " received , its rise within the Tennyson canon took decades . Tennyson did not usually select it for publication in poetry anthologies ; in teaching anthologies , however , the poem was usually included — and it remains a popular teaching poem today . Its current prominence in Tennyson 's oeuvre is the result of two trends , according to Tennyson scholar Matthew Rowlinson : the rise of formal English poetry studies in the late nineteenth century , and the Victorian effort to articulate a British culture that could be exported . He argues that " Ulysses " forms part of the prehistory of imperialism — a term that only appeared in the language in 1851 . The protagonist sounds like a " colonial administrator " , and his reference to seeking a newer world ( 57 ) echoes the phrase " New World " , which became common during the Renaissance . While " Ulysses " cannot be read as overtly imperialistic , Tennyson 's later work as Poet Laureate sometimes argues for the value of Britain 's colonies , or was accused of jingoism . Rowlinson invokes the Marxist theorist Louis Althusser 's extension of the argument that ideology is ahistorical , finding that Tennyson 's poem " comes before an ideological construction for which it nonetheless makes people nostalgic " . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-4679 | The traditional job of cruisers was scouting and screening , but with the loss of most of the battleships at Pearl Harbor these roles largely passed to the aircraft carriers , while the cruisers ' main mission became defending the carriers against air attack .
