wikipedia_2018-5000 | For Kilgrave , Maslansky used many suits created by designer Paul Smith , rather than custom @-@ making them as she originally planned , as Smith " was all about purple " in the previous fashion season . On the suits , Maslansky added that the designers " wanted to find a place where we could utilize clothing in shades of purple , but not go so over the top that it would look silly and that he would stop feeling ominous or menacing . " Expanding on this , Maslansky called purple a traditionally " fairly friendly color , and he ’ s anything but friendly . So I had to find ways to make him be ominous and frightening and terrifying . I found that I needed the right proportion of shades of purple to other shades that were similar : navy , black , maroon . " Maslansky felt Luke Cage was also someone " who wears his clothing like an armor , " with his wardrobe consisting of T @-@ shirts , jeans , leather jackets or an army jacket . For a character like Trish Walker , who does not have the same kind of " statement costume " as Jones , Maslansky tried to create a certain character style . Maslansky said that Walker 's uniform is fashion , so " even when she was hanging around the house , she was wearing a pair of Rag and Bone jeans with a Chloé top , and this was her version of a T @-@ shirt and jeans . " Maslansky added that Robin was " a blast to dress " because of her " quirky " personality , yet she was still able to " put herself together aesthetically . " For Malcolm , as his story progressively became brighter throughout the season , so did his wardrobe , becoming " a little brighter and a little more hopeful . " | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-5001 | Newly discovered planets , particularly ones that are potentially habitable , have enabled SETI and METI programs to refocus projects for communication with extraterrestrial intelligence . In 2009 A Message From Earth ( <unk> ) was sent toward the Gliese 581 system , which contains two potentially habitable planets , the confirmed Gliese 581 d and the more habitable but unconfirmed Gliese 581 g . In the <unk> project , which began in 2012 , human volunteers analyze data from the Allen Telescope Array to search for possible alien signals that computers might miss because of terrestrial radio interference . The data for the study is obtained by observing Kepler target stars with the radio telescope . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-5005 | As the bombardment of the city proved to be unsuccessful , Montgomery then began to plan for an assault . Montgomery was to assault the Lower Town district , the part of the city near the river shore , while Arnold was to attack and take the Cape Diamond Bastion , a strong part of the city walls on the highest point of the rocky promontory . Montgomery believed that they should attack during a stormy night , therefore the British would not be able to see them . On December 27 , the weather became stormy , and Montgomery ordered that the men prepare to attack . However , the storm soon subsided and Montgomery called off the attack . As Montgomery waited for a storm , he was forced to revise his plans , because a deserter communicated the original plan to the defenders . In the new plan , Montgomery would attack the Lower Town from the south and Arnold would attack the Lower Town from the north . After breaking through the walls , Montgomery and Arnold would meet up in the city and then attack and take the Upper Town , causing resistance to collapse . To increase their chance of surprise , Montgomery planned two feints . One detachment of troops ( the 1st Canadian Regiment under James Livingston ) would set fire to one of the gates while another ( under the command of Jacob Brown ) would engage the guard at Cape Diamond Bastion and fire rockets to signal the start of the attack . While the feints were conducted , artillery would fire into the city . Although Montgomery was reluctant to attack , enlistments for Arnold 's men were expiring on January 1 , and he was concerned about losing their services . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-5006 | Donald Gray , who had found himself typecast after appearing in the lead role in Saber of London , a detective series , was having to resort to voice work to support his acting career . The South African actor was selected for three regular roles : Colonel White , Captain Black and the Mysterons . After his mind is hijacked in the pilot episode , Black speaks with the same voice that the Mysterons are heard to use when transmitting threats to Earth . For his portrayals of Black and his Mysteron masters , Gray 's voice was electronically deepened , by running the tape at high speed whilst he was recording his lines and playing it back at normal speed , to produce a haunting effect . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-5007 | John was ordained as a deacon in 381 by Saint Meletius of Antioch who was not then in communion with Alexandria and Rome . After the death of Meletius , John separated himself from the followers of Meletius , without joining Paulinus , the rival of Meletius for the bishopric of Antioch . But after the death of Paulinus he was ordained a presbyter ( priest ) in 386 by Evagrius , the successor of Paulinus . He was destined later to bring about reconciliation between Flavian I of Antioch , Alexandria , and Rome , thus bringing those three sees into communion for the first time in nearly seventy years . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-5008 | Theron Martin of Anime News Network gave the first season a ' B + ' rating , criticizing its extensive use of moe elements , but considered it appealing entertainment for a " fan base who revels in this kind of thing . " His review for the second season After Story was much more positive , giving it an ' A- ' rating . He praised the second half of the season as " the best @-@ written quarter of Clannad , " stating that it " effectively builds up and delivers its emotional appeal , reinforces the series ' central theme ( i.e. the importance of family ) , and peaks visually , " and concluding that " only the most cynical of souls will avoid shedding at least a few tears at certain points . " On the DVD Talk website , the reviewer Todd Douglass Jr. gave Clannad After Story a " Highly Recommended " rating , stating that " the range of emotions Clannad takes you through is quite daunting . It 's charming , cute , hilarious , mysterious , and tragic all at the same time . Few shows are as memorable , and few are this good for this long . " He concludes that the storytelling is " heartfelt " and " memorable in so many ways , " and that " few shows rise to the levels this one does . " | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-5010 | The main thrust of post @-@ war planning would be one of clearance and rebuilding , beginning in Paisley , where from 1955 the populations of districts were decanted , the buildings demolished and rebuilding began , resulting , in the first district , George Street / Canal Street , in low flats in render and reused rubble around landscaped courtyards , with a 15 @-@ storey tower at one end . As the post @-@ war desire for urban regeneration gained momentum it would focus on the tower block , championed in Glasgow by David Gibson , convener of the city housing committee . Projects like the brutalist Red Road Flats originally offered hope of a new beginning and an escape from the overcrowded nineteenth @-@ century tenements of the city , but lacked a sufficient infrastructure and soon deteriorated . They also made extensive use of asbestos as a fire retardant , leading to long term health problems for builders and residents . Robert Matthew ( 1906 – 75 ) and Basil Spence ( 1907 – 76 ) were responsible for redeveloping the Gorbals in Glasgow , for demolitions at the University of Edinburgh and the stark rebuilding typified by the David Hume Tower ( 1960 – 63 ) . The new confidence of this period can also be seen in infrastructure projects , of which the Forth Road Bridge ( opened 1962 ) was a key example . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-5011 | In 2005 , the stadium gained national attention when the visiting New York Giants committed 11 false start penalties . Seahawks head coach Mike Holmgren attributed the penalties to the enthusiasm and noise from the crowd . He dedicated the ball used to make the game @-@ winning field goal to the fans , and it is now displayed at the stadium . The Giants ' general manager , Ernie Accorsi , asked an NFL senior vice president whether the Seahawks had broadcast artificial crowd noise over the public address system during this game . The NFL sent a memorandum early in the 2006 season about such complaints and sent officials to monitor two games . Holmgren denied the allegations , and the crowd responded by being even louder than usual when the Giants returned to CenturyLink Field . Since 2005 the Seahawks have tracked the number of false starts committed by visiting teams and display the statistic on a scoreboard to motivate the crowd . As of 2013 , the stadium has had a league @-@ high number of false starts since . In preparation for 2005 – 06 NFC Championship Game at CenturyLink Field , the Carolina Panthers practiced with the recorded sounds of jet engines in the background to prepare for the volume of the crowd . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-5012 | Despite the thought that increasing availability to emergency medicine will improve patient outcomes , little empirical evidence exists to directly support that claim , even in developed countries . Between 1985 and 1998 only 54 randomized controlled trials related to emergency medical services were published , implying that much of the current standard of care rests upon meager support . A similar lack of direct proof exists for the effectiveness of international assistance in promoting emergency medicine in other countries . Although it may seem that such efforts must improve health , the failure to quantify international emergency medicine 's impact renders it more difficult to identify the best practices and target areas in which the most benefit may be achieved . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-5013 | " Marry You " received generally positive reviews from music critics . Digital Spy 's Lewis Corner gave it a strong review , rating it four out of five stars , with him labeling it as a song that " would not only impress the Elvis impersonator in any Vegas chapel , but is enough to make him a shoo @-@ in for ultimate seducer of 2011 " and a " 60s @-@ inspired jive @-@ starter " . NPR 's Ken Tucker and Emily Yang of The Signal said that the recording 's sound was reminiscent of 60 's pop . Nina Baniamer of Contactmusic.com found the track 's production " epic and ambitious " and called the " anthemic " song " sure fire hit " . The Boston Globe critic Ken Capobianco praised the song for its " artfully arranged throwback " and exalted Mars 's vocals on his love songs , such as " Marry You " . Leah Greenblatt , writing for Entertainment Weekly , stated that " Marry You " has " a malt @-@ shop heart " beating beneath its " digital skin " , which shows innovation and creativity . The Independent music critic , Andy Gill , flattered the single by calling it " overly ingratiating " . In a mixed review , Tim Sendra of Allmusic praised the song 's " dynamic and nuanced production " , yet founding the track " pleasantly silly " . In a negative review , Mike Diver of BBC Music thought confessed that the recording was a " too @-@ clingy and very creepy love song " and noted its lack of inspiration . Similarly , Slant Magazine 's Eric Henderson suggested that the song was spun off of Cee Lo Green 's " Fuck You " , where the word " fuck " was changed to " marry " . He further added that the single was a " bizarrely syncopated piledriver " . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-5014 | = <unk> + r and f ( r ) < f ( b ) . An example of this mapping is the norm function used to order the Gaussian integers above . The function f can be the magnitude of the number , or the degree of a polynomial . The basic principle is that each step of the algorithm reduces f inexorably ; hence , if f can be reduced only a finite number of times , the algorithm must stop in a finite number of steps . This principle relies heavily on the natural well @-@ ordering of the non @-@ negative integers ; roughly speaking , this requires that every non @-@ empty set of non @-@ negative integers has a smallest member . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-5017 | Operation Copperhead was a small military deception operation run by the British during the Second World War . It formed part of Operation Bodyguard , the cover plan for the invasion of Normandy in 1944 , and was intended to mislead German intelligence as to the location of General Bernard Montgomery . The operation was conceived by Dudley Clarke in early 1944 after he watched the film Five Graves to Cairo . Following the war M. E. Clifton James wrote a book about the operation , I Was Monty 's Double . It was later adapted into a film , with James in the lead role . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-5021 | Grosmont 's uncle , Thomas of Lancaster , was the son and heir of Edward I 's brother Edmund Crouchback . Through his inheritance and a fortunate marriage , Thomas became the wealthiest peer in England , but constant quarrels with King Edward II led to his execution in 1322 . Having no heir , Thomas 's possessions and titles went to his younger brother Henry – Grosmont 's father . Earl Henry of Lancaster assented to the deposition of Edward II in 1327 , but did not long stay in favour with the regency of Queen Isabella and Roger Mortimer . When Edward III took personal control of the government in 1330 , relations with the Crown improved , but by this time the older Henry was already struggling with poor health and blindness . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-5024 | Thomas Ingersoll supported his family in their early years in Upper Canada by running a tavern in Queenston while land was being cleared and roads built in the settlement . The family stayed in Queenston until a log cabin was completed on the settlement in 1796 . After Simcoe returned to England in 1796 , opposition grew in Upper Canada to the " Late Loyalists " such as Thomas who had arrived in Canada for the land grants . The grants were greatly reduced , and Thomas 's contract was cancelled for not having all of its conditions fulfilled . Feeling cheated , in 1805 he moved the family to Credit River , close to York ( present @-@ day Toronto ) , where he successfully ran an inn until his 1812 death following a stroke .

wikipedia_2018-5028 | Lutetium has no biological role as well , but it is found even in the highest known organism , the humans , concentrating in bones , and to a lesser extent in the liver and kidneys . Lutetium salts are known to cause metabolism and they occur together with other lanthanide salts in nature ; the element is the least abundant in the human body of all lanthanides . Human diets have not been monitored for lutetium content , so it is not known how much the average human takes in , but estimations show the amount is only about several micrograms per year , all coming from tiny amounts taken by plants . Soluble lutetium salts are mildly toxic , but insoluble ones are not . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-5029 | The RMW is traditionally measured by reconnaissance aircraft in the Atlantic basin . It can also be determined on weather maps as the distance between the cyclone center and the system 's greatest pressure gradient . Using weather satellite data , the distance between the coldest cloud top temperature and the warmest <unk> within the eye , in infrared satellite imagery , is one method of determining RMW . The reason why this method has merit is that the strongest winds within tropical cyclones tend to be located under the deepest convection , which is seen on satellite imagery as the coldest cloud tops . Use of velocity data from Doppler weather radar can also be used to determine this quantity , both for tornadoes and tropical cyclones near the coast . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-5030 | The developers intended Ultima Underworld to be a realistic and interactive " dungeon simulation " , rather than a straightforward role @-@ playing game . For example , many objects in the game have no actual use , while a lit torch may be used on corn to create popcorn . Weapons deteriorate with use , and the player character must eat and rest ; light sources burn out unless extinguished before sleeping . A physics system allows , among other things , for items to bounce when thrown against surfaces . The game contains non @-@ player characters ( NPCs ) with whom the player may interact by selecting dialogue choices from a menu . Most NPCs have possessions , and are willing to trade them . The game was designed to give players " a palette of strategies " with which to approach situations , and its simulation systems allow for emergent gameplay . | wikipedia-2018 |

The complex geology and narrow seams made coal extraction difficult . Tonnage increased throughout the 19th century , reaching a peak around 1901 , when there were 79 separate collieries and annual production was 1 @,@ 250 @,@ 000 tons per annum . However , due to local geological difficulties and manpower shortages output declined and the number of pits reduced from 30 at the beginning of the 20th century to 14 by the mid @-@ thirties ; the last two pits , Kilmersdon and Writhlington , closed in September 1973 . The Great Western Railway and the Somerset and Dorset Railway both established stations and marshalling yards in the town . The last passenger train services to Radstock closed in 1966 . Manufacturing industries such as printing , binding and packaging provide some local employment . In recent years , Radstock has increasingly become a commuter town for the nearby cities of Bath and Bristol . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-5032 | Natalizumab and mitoxantrone are considered highly effective both in terms of relapse rate reduction and halting disability progression , however , they are related to dangerous side @-@ effects that have led them to be considered second @-@ line treatments . Natalizumab halves the risk of suffering relapses when compared to interferons , having an overall efficacy of over 70 % . Moreover , mitoxantrone is also highly useful to reduce attacks and disability , but it is generally not considered as a long @-@ term therapy due to its severe cardiac toxicity . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-5033 | Several of the songs on Mwng feature quite solemn , personal lyrics , which reflect on a difficult few years for Rhys . The single , " Ysbeidiau Heulog " , is about " looking back at a bad time which had the odd good moment " , while " Pan <unk> 'r Wawr " deals with the death of rural communities . The singer claims to have wept — rather than sung — the album 's last track , " <unk> <unk> " / " <unk> <unk> Ar y <unk> <unk> " , which features lyrics " so bleak it 's almost comic " about " being rooted to a sad piece of land [ ... ] being doomed to live somewhere and that 's all you have and that 's what you 're stuck with " . Rhys has described Datblygu 's " Y Teimlad " as being about " not knowing what love is or what love means . " " <unk> " is a song about " sleaze [ ... ] about good versus evil , and a person 's need for both " , and " Y Gwyneb Iau " is a " moody song about war " whose title is a Welsh insult that translates into English as " <unk> " . In contrast , " Nythod Cacwn " is a comedic song , based on an incident involving drummer Dafydd Ieuan being chased by bees after he disturbed a beehive while attempting to build a bonfire on a beach . It features lyrics that were " made up on the spot " by Rhys . " <unk> Hi " is inspired by one of Rhys 's former teachers who claimed she had eyes in the back of her head . " Sarn Helen " is about the decline of the Roman road of the same name that was built between North and South Wales . " Ymaelodi  'r Ymylon " is partly inspired by the <unk> the band felt from some areas of the Welsh musical community due to their decision to sing in English on earlier albums . The track 's lyrics feature the old Welsh idiom " y <unk> <unk> " , which means " the demon in music " and refers to the friction this can create between people . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-5034 | Paraguay was quiet for 5 years under interim governor Martín de Barúa , seen as friendly to the settlers and hostile to the Jesuits . When he was replaced by Ignacio de Soroeta , however , Paraguay refused its new governor . Fernando de <unk> y Zayas had spread ideas among the populace that the power of the people - the <unk> - was superior to that of the governor and even the King . The comuneros held new elections to the town council of Asunción , won the seats , and resumed self @-@ rule . A replacement governor sent in 1732 , Agustín de Ruyloba , was killed by the comuneros . However , the comunero movement split several times . The notables of Asunción , who had been happy to defy the colonial authorities when the town council was run by them , now feared the total breakdown of order , as the poorer Paraguayans started to loot the estates and property of any notable not thought to be sufficiently pro @-@ comunero . The inability of Asunción to trade with the rest of the Spanish Empire led to an economic crisis , as well . When colonial forces finally moved on Asunción , the divided comuneros scattered and fled , with most of the Asunción faction joining the government forces in a bid for clemency . | wikipedia-2018 |

Public Storage opened self @-@ storage locations in close proximity , so multiple construction sites could share a development office , and to justify local television advertising . Public Storage 's growth slowed in the mid @-@ 1980s as new competition increased the cost of property and slowed the increase in rental prices to consumers . Poor weather and difficult labor markets outside of California delayed development projects ; the company also made poor investments in office parks .

The hymn later fell out of favour with hymn book editors in the 1960s . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-5038 | The main problem in the physics of accretion disks is the generation of turbulence and the mechanism responsible for the high effective viscosity . The turbulent viscosity is thought to be responsible for the transport of the mass to the central protostar and momentum to the periphery of the disk . This is vital for accretion , because the gas can be accreted by the central protostar only if it loses most of its angular momentum , which must be carried away by the small part of the gas drifting outwards . The result of this process is the growth of both the protostar and of the disk radius , which can reach 1 @,@ 000 AU if the initial angular momentum of the nebula is large enough . Large disks are routinely observed in many star @-@ forming regions such as the Orion nebula . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-5077 | Three factors dictated the type of locomotive that could operate on the South Eastern and Chatham Railway ( SECR ) : the heavy passenger train loadings ; the poor track quality ; and the weak , lightly built bridges . On the lines of the former London , Chatham and Dover Railway ( LCDR ) – inherited by the SECR in 1899 – beach pebbles had been used for ballast instead of conventional ballast , which has irregular shapes that lock together to keep the track in place . These economies in construction meant that only locomotives with low axle loadings could operate safely over the track . The SECR was therefore unable to follow a coherent strategy to reduce the number of locomotive types inherited from the two constituent railways . Despite increased passenger and freight traffic between London Charing Cross and the Kentish coast during the first decades of the 20th century , the Operating Department had to use mismatched classes of underpowered and obsolete 4 @-@ 4 @-@ 0 and 0 @-@ 6 @-@ 0 locomotives , which could operate within the restrictions imposed by the infrastructure .
