wikipedia_2018-4711 | The tour included a set at Woodstock ' 94 broadcast on Pay @-@ per @-@ view and seen in as many as 24 million homes . The band being covered in mud was a result of pre @-@ concert backstage play , contrary to the belief that it was an attention @-@ grabbing ploy , thus making it difficult for Reznor to navigate the stage : Reznor pushed Lohner into the mud pit as the concert began and saw mud from his hair going into his eyes while performing .

wikipedia_2018-4724 | In 1950 , Glenn T. Seaborg , Albert Ghiorso , and Stanley G. Thompson bombarded 241Am with helium ions , which produced atoms with an atomic number of 97 and which closely resembled the neighboring lanthanide terbium . Because terbium was named after Ytterby , the city in which it and several other elements were discovered , this new element was named berkelium for the city in which it was synthesized . However , when the research team synthesized element 98 , they could not think of a good analogy for dysprosium , and instead named the element californium in honor of the state in which it was synthesized , California . The research team went on to " point out that , in recognition of the fact that dysprosium is named on the basis of a Greek word meaning ' difficult to get at , ' that the searchers for another element a century ago found it difficult to get to California " . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-4732 | The transit method of discovering exoplanets relies upon carefully monitoring the brightness of a star . If a planet is present and crosses the line of sight between Earth and the star , the star will dim at a regular interval by an amount that depends upon the radius of the transiting planet . In order to measure the mass of a planet , and rule out other phenomena that can mimic the presence of a planet transiting a star , candidate transiting planets are followed up with the radial velocity method of detecting extrasolar planets . | wikipedia-2018 |

They had no capability for anti @-@ aircraft fire and the anti @-@ aircraft guns were aimed solely by eye . Hero and Hereward saw the introduction of a new style of bridge that would become standard on all Royal Navy fleet destroyers from the I class through to the Battle class of 1944 . This was necessary as Hereward was fitted with a prototype twin @-@ gun mounting that had a trunnion height 13 inches ( 33 @.@ 0 cm ) higher than the previous weapons , therefore it was necessary to raise the wheelhouse to allow the helmsman to see over the top . Raising the wheelhouse meant it had to be placed in front of , rather than underneath , the bridge , and it was given angled sides , resulting in a characteristic wedge shape with a sloping roof . | wikipedia-2018 |

He did not know yet that Rovelstad was a sculptor , and wrote to him in September 1935 about the models to be submitted for approval , " These should also be 10 [ inches , or 25 @.@ 4 cm ] in diameter , and this is where your trouble commences . These sculptors all want to incorporate their own ideas in the design and ask anywhere from $ 400 @.@ 00 to $ 1 @,@ 000 @.@ 00 for their work , telling you what trouble it is to get the approval of the Commission of Fine Arts and many other things which do not exist . " Hoffecker also offered to handle the issue for the committee ; he proposed to advance the money necessary to purchase the new coins from the government and to handle the distribution . He stated that he had enjoyed the distribution of the Old Spanish Trail piece , though he lied to Rovelstad , stating he was not a coin dealer — the letterhead that Hoffecker used to write to Rovelstad said " Loans and <unk> " under his name .

wikipedia_2018-4791 | The principal naval campaign of 1806 was fought in the Atlantic Ocean , following a raid by two large French battle squadrons on British trade routes , focused particularly on the Caribbean . The security of the French Caribbean was under severe threat during the wars , as the Royal Navy dominated the region and restricted French movements both between the islands and between the West Indies and France itself . This dominance was enforced by rigorous blockade , in which British ships attempted to ensure that no French military or commercial vessel was able to enter or leave French harbours both in Europe and in the French colonies . In the Caribbean , this strategy was designed to destroy the economies and morale of the French West Indian territories in preparation for attack by British expeditionary forces . To counter this strategy , the French government repeatedly sent convoys and individual warships to the French Caribbean islands with supplies of food , military equipment and reinforcements . These resupply efforts ranged from small individual corvettes to large battle squadrons and were under orders to avoid conflict wherever possible . Despite these orders , many were intercepted by British blockade forces , either in the Caribbean or off the French coast itself . | wikipedia-2018 |

To ensure that the books remained at a constant angle , Ramelli incorporated an epicyclic gearing arrangement , a complex device that had only previously been used in astronomical clocks . Ramelli 's design is unnecessarily elaborate , as he likely understood that gravity could have worked just as effectively ( as it does with a Ferris wheel , invented centuries later ) , but the gearing system allowed him to display his mathematical prowess . While other people would go on to build <unk> based on Ramelli 's design , Ramelli did not in fact ever construct his own . | wikipedia-2018 |
