Most modern cultivars lack any fragrance although ' Dancing Queen ' represents an exception . Fragrance is genetically related to flower colour ( white , or pastel shades ) and is a recessive characteristic , so that when fragrant and non fragrant varieties are crossed , not all progeny will be fragrant , whereas two fragrant progenitors will produce an all fragrant progeny .

What would become DE 14 originally existed as a county road between the Maryland border in Burrsville and Rehoboth Beach by 1920 . By 1924 , the road was built as a state highway between Burrsville and Milford and was proposed as one between Nassau and Rehoboth Beach . A year later , the state road was completed between Milford and Cedar Creek and from Nassau to just west of Rehoboth Beach , with the sections between Cedar Creek and Nassau and into Rehoboth Beach under proposal . A bascule bridge was constructed over the Lewes and Rehoboth Canal in Rehoboth Beach in 1926 . In 1927 , the state highway between Milford and Rehoboth Beach was finished with the construction of a bascule bridge over the Broadkill River .

Hamilton suggests that the foundations of climate change denial lie in the reaction of American conservatism to the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 . He argues that as the " red menace " receded , conservatives who had put energy into opposing communism sought other outlets . Hamilton contends that the conservative backlash against climate science was led by three prominent physicists -- Frederick Seitz , Robert Jastrow , and William Nierenberg . In 1984 Seitz , Jastrow and Nierenberg founded the George C. Marshall Institute , and in the 1990s the Marshall Institute 's main activity was attacking climate science .

Annual variations in climatic temperatures can affect sex ratios , since loggerheads have temperature @-@ dependent sex determination . High sand temperatures may skew gender ratios in favor of females . Nesting sites exposed to unseasonably warm temperatures over a three @-@ year period produced 87 – 99 % females . This raises concern over the connection between rapid global temperature changes and the possibility of population extinction . A more localized effect on gender skewing comes from the construction of tall buildings , which reduce sun exposure , lowering the average sand temperature , which results in a shift in gender ratios to favor the emergence of male turtles .

As King of the Isles , Lagmann faced significant opposition from factions supporting his younger brothers , Aralt and Amlaíb . At some point , the Islesmen are reported to have petitioned Muirchertach Ua Briain , King of Munster to select a temporary ruler in the region . This act may have been initiated on behalf of a faction supporting Amlaíb . Whatever the case , Ua Briain responded by placing an Uí Briain relative upon the throne . The Uí Briain interlopers , however , do not appear to have been well received ; and were evidently ejected by the Islesmen , perhaps led by supporters of Lagmann himself .

The characters first appeared in the first season episode " E.B.E. " to make Mulder appear more credible . Initially only intended to appear in that episode , they were brought back as recurring characters starting with " Blood " due to their popularity on the Internet . The episode also has a guest appearance by pornographic actress Ashlyn Gere . Gere plays Bonnie McRoberts , the woman driven to attack Mulder after seeing a subliminal message on her microwave .

Some critics felt that the album 's production was inferior to that of Dr. Octagonecologyst .

One of the earliest references to the city 's name was made in 715 CE by the Pandyan King Chettian , who called the city Mangalapuram . The city and the coastal region was a part of the Pandyan Kingdom . According to K.V. Ramesh , President of the Place Names Society of India , Mangaluru was first heard in 1345 CE during the Vijayanagar rule . Many shilashasanas ( stones ) of Vijayanagar period refer the city as Mangalapura . Even before that , during the Alupas period , it was referred to as Mangalapura ( ' Mangala ' means ' auspicious ' ) . The city is well known as Mangaluru in Kannada , a reference to Mangaladevi ( the suffix uru means town or city ) . During the British occupation from 1799 , Mangalore ( anglicised from Mangaluru ) , stuck as the official appellation . However , according to historian George M. Moraes , the word " Mangalore " is the Portuguese corruption of Mangaluru . The name of this town also appears in maps as early as the 1652 Sanson Map of India .

In early to mid 20th century , Deshastha men used to wear a black cap to cover their head , with a turban or a pagadi being popular before that . For religious ceremonies males wore a coloured silk dhoti called a sovale . In modern times , dhotis are only worn by older men in rural areas . In urban areas , just like women , a range of styles are preferred . For example , the Deshastha politician Manohar Joshi prefers white fine khadi kurtas , while younger men prefer modern western clothes such as jeans .

232Th is the longest @-@ lived isotope in the 4n decay chain which includes isotopes with a mass number divisible by 4 ( hence the name : it is also called the thorium series after its progenitor ) . The chain begins with the alpha decay of 232Th to 228Ra , and terminates at stable 208Pb . ( 232Th very occasionally undergoes spontaneous fission rather than alpha decay , and has left evidence in doing so in its minerals . ) Because 232Th is so long @-@ lived , its daughters still exist in nature as radiogenic nuclides despite their much shorter half @-@ lives , the longest among them being the 5 @.@ 7 @-@ year half @-@ life of 228Ra , the immediate alpha daughter of 232Th . Any sample of thorium or its compounds contain traces of these daughters , which are isotopes of thallium , lead , bismuth , polonium , radon , radium , and actinium . As such , natural thorium samples can be chemically purified to extract its useful daughter nuclides , such as 212Pb , which is used in nuclear medicine for cancer therapy .

As originally constituted in March 1942 , the Hukbalahap was to be part of a broad united front resistance to the Japanese occupation of the Philippines . This original intent is reflected in its name : " Hukbong Bayan Laban sa mga Hapon " , which was " People 's Army Against the Japanese " when translated into English . The adopted slogan was " Anti @-@ Japanese Above All " . The Huk Military Committee was at the apex of Huk structure and was charged to direct the guerrilla campaign and to lead the revolution that would seize power after the war .

Various effects were tested , including characters disappearing into black holes as well as phasing through the air in a more " exaggerated " and " watery " way .

Beck then used software to morph the two together to make it appear as if they had vanished . Later , artistic touches were added in post @-@ production editing to give a more futuristic effect .

The main role of the civilian branch of the Underground State was to preserve the continuity of the Polish state as a whole , including its institutions . These institutions included the police , the courts , and schools . This branch of the state was intended to prepare cadres and institutions to resume power after the German defeat in World War II . By the final years of the war , the civilian structure of the Underground State included an underground parliament , administration , judiciary ( courts and police ) , secondary and higher level education , and supported various cultural activities such as publishing of newspapers and books , underground theatres , lectures , exhibitions , concerts and safeguarded various works of art . It also dealt with providing social services , including to the destitute Jewish population ( through the Council to Aid Jews , or Żegota ) . Through the Directorate of Civil Resistance ( 1941 – 1943 ) the civil arm was also involved in lesser acts of resistance , such as minor sabotage , although in 1943 this department was merged with the Directorate of Covert Resistance , forming the Directorate of Underground Resistance , subordinate to AK .
