The remainder of the war was quiet for Stuart , achieving no further successes against submarines . Upon the armistice the full details of his Victoria Cross action were revealed and , in 1919 , he was mentioned in despatches in recognition of the service he had performed during the Q @-@ ship operations . As further recognition of his overall efforts against the German submarine campaign , the French government presented him with the Croix de Guerre .

A flood plain crossed by rivers and lakes developed in the area . Mud and sand accumulated in this setting to become the gray sandstones and mudstones of the Kaiparowits Formation . This formation is up to 100 feet ( 30 m ) thick in the Bryce Canyon area , but other parts of the Kaiparowits in the region are several hundreds of feet ( tens of meters ) thick . Two formations , the Canaan Peak and the Pine Hollow , sit on top of the Kaiparowits elsewhere in the region but are absent in the Bryce Canyon area . The sandstones and conglomerates of these formations record stream and river deposition starting in the Paleocene epoch .
Soon after Beyoncé 's performance on American Idol , a video that surfaced online received considerable coverage from different media . It was filmed by Jay @-@ Z with a camera phone and shows Beyoncé rehearsing " 1 + 1 " backstage at American Idol . The ballad was included on Beyoncé 's set list for a free concert as part of Good Morning America 's Summer Concert Series , the ITV special A Night With Beyoncé , and her revue , 4 Intimate Nights with Beyoncé , held at the Roseland Ballroom in New York City . Beyoncé 's live performances of " 1 + 1 " have received positive reception ; a writer from The Huffington Post described her live performance at the American Idol as " an epic , emotionally @-@ charged [ one ] . " American singers Dondria and Tiffany Evans have performed covers of the ballad , with lyrical modifications .
Dei Gratia had reached a position of 38 ° 20'N , 17 ° 15'W , midway between the Azores and the coast of Portugal at about 1 pm on Wednesday , December 4 , 1872 , land time ( Thursday , December 5 , sea time ) , . As Captain Morehouse came on deck , the helmsman reported a vessel about 6 miles ( 9 @.@ 7 km ) distant , heading unsteadily towards Dei Gratia . The ship 's erratic movements and the odd set of her sails led Morehouse to suspect that something was wrong . As the vessels drew close , he could see nobody on deck , and he received no reply to his signals , so he sent Deveau and second mate John Wright to investigate . The pair established that she was the Mary Celeste from the name on her stern , then climbed aboard where they found the ship deserted . The sails , partly set , were in a poor condition , some missing altogether , and much of the rigging was damaged , with ropes hanging loosely over the sides . The main hatch cover was secure , but the fore and lazarette hatches were open , their covers beside them on the deck . The ship 's single lifeboat was missing , a small yawl that had apparently been stowed across the main hatch , while the binnacle housing the ship 's compass had shifted from its place , its glass cover broken . There was about 3 @.@ 5 feet ( 1 @.@ 1 m ) of water in the hold , a significant but not alarming amount for a ship this size . A makeshift sounding rod ( a device for measuring the amount of water in the hold ) was found abandoned on the deck .

Upon her arrival at Rosyth , Princess Royal began repairs that lasted until 10 June . She sailed later that day for Plymouth where more permanent repairs were made until 15 July and was back at Rosyth by 21 July . She was hit nine times during the battle , six time by Derfflinger , twice by Markgraf and once by Posen , with 22 of her crew killed and 81 injured . She fired only 230 rounds from her main guns , as her visibility was often impaired by the funnel smoke and fires aboard Lion and can be credited with three hits on Lützow and two on Seydlitz . She also fired one torpedo at the German pre @-@ dreadnoughts without success .

Zahir allowed the Franciscan community of Nazareth to build churches in 1730 , 1741 and 1754 on sites Christians associated with Jesus 's life . He allowed the Greek Orthodox community to build St. Gabriel 's Church over a ruined Crusader church in Nazareth , and in 1750 they enlarged St. George 's Church . The largest Christian community in Acre , the Melkites , built the largest church in the city , St. Andrew 's Church , in 1764 , while the Maronites built St. Mary 's Church for their congregation in 1750 . As a testament to the prosperity that the Christians enjoyed under Zahir 's rule , no further churches were built under the auspices of Zahir 's less tolerant successors .
Lépine sat for a time in the office of the registrar on the second floor . He was seen rummaging through a plastic bag and did not speak to anyone , even when a staff member asked if she could help him . He left the office and was subsequently seen in other parts of the building before entering a second floor mechanical engineering class of about sixty students at about 5 : 10 p.m. After approaching the student giving a presentation , he asked everyone to stop everything and ordered the women and men to opposite sides of the classroom . No one moved at first , believing it to be a joke until he fired a shot into the ceiling .
The economy of the county was dependent on the City of London from early times and was primarily agricultural . A variety of goods were provided for the City , including crops such as grain and hay , livestock and building materials . Recreation at day trip destinations such as Hackney , Islington , Highgate and Twickenham , as well as coaching , inn @-@ keeping and sale of goods and services at daily shops and stalls to the considerable passing trade provided much local employment and also formed part of the early economy . However , during the 18th century the inner parishes of Middlesex became suburbs of the City and were increasingly urbanised .

The Syrian Regional Branch began denouncing Aflaq as a " thief " . They claimed that he had stolen the Ba 'athist ideology from Zaki al @-@ Arsuzi and proclaimed it as his own , with Assad hailing Arsuzi as the principal founder of Ba 'athist thought . The Iraqi Regional Branch , however , still proclaimed Aflaq as the founder of Ba 'athism . Assad has referred to Arsuzi as the " greatest Syrian of his day " and claimed him to be the " first to conceive of the Ba 'ath as a political movement . " Aflaq was condemned to death in absentia in 1971 by Assad 's government . The Syrian Regional Branch erected a statue in Arsuzi 's honour not long after the 1966 coup . Nevertheless , the majority of Ba 'ath followers outside Syria still view Aflaq , not Arsuzi , as the principal founder of Ba 'athism .

In February 1918 , Nicholson transferred to Brest where she escorted convoys along the French coast . In early September 1918 , Nicholson was one of six destroyers escorting a westbound pair of US Navy transports , Agamemnon and Mount Vernon . On the morning of 5 September , about 250 nmi ( 290 mi ; 460 km ) west of Brest , German submarine U @-@ 82 torpedoed Mount Vernon , knocking out half of the troopship 's boilers . Nicholson , Conner , Winslow , and Wainwright , all depth charged the U @-@ boat without success , but , combined with defensive efforts from Mount Vernon herself , helped prevent the submarine from launching a coup de grâce against the former German liner . Mount Vernon safely made it back to Brest with the loss of 37 crewmen out of the 1 @,@ 450 passengers and crew on board .

Cultivated plant taxonomy has been distinguished from the taxonomy of other plants in at least five ways . Firstly , there is a distinction made according to where the plants are growing — that is , whether they are wild or cultivated . This is alluded to by the Cultivated Plant Code which specifies in its title that it is dealing with cultivated plants . Secondly , a distinction is made according to how the plants originated . This is indicated in Principle 2 of the Cultivated Plant Code which defines the scope of the Code as " ... plants whose origin or selection is primarily due to the intentional actions of mankind " — plants that have evolved under natural selection with human assistance.Thirdly , cultivated plant taxonomy is concerned with plant variation that requires the use of special classification categories that do not conform with the hierarchy of ranks implicit in the Botanical Code , these categories being the cultivar , Group and grex ( which are only loosely equivalent to ranks in the Botanical Code ) . This feature is also referred to in the Preamble to the Cultivated Plant Code which states that " The purpose of giving a name to a taxon is not to indicate its characters or history , but to supply a means of referring to it and to indicate to which category it is assigned . " Fourthly , cultivated plant taxonomy serves a particular community of people : the Botanical Code focuses on the needs of plant taxonomists as they attempt to maintain order and stability for the scientific names of all plants , while the Cultivated Plant Code caters for the needs of people requiring names for plants used in the commercial world of agriculture , forestry and horticulture . Finally , the difference between cultivated plant taxonomy and the taxonomy of other plants has been attributed to the purpose for which the taxonomy has been devised , it being plant @-@ centred in the Botanical Code and human @-@ centred in the Cultivated Plant Code .
As first commissioned in 1926 , US 395 was a minor spur route of U.S. Route 195 connecting Spokane , Washington with Canada . During the 1930s , US 395 was extended from Spokane to San Diego , over the Camino Sierra , using several existing state routes . The extension first appeared on the Official Nevada Highway map in 1935 . By 1937 , US 6 had been extended to California , concurrent with US 395 between Bishop and Inyokern .

" L 'Histoire d 'une fée , c 'est ... " ( English : " The Story of a Fairy Is ... " ) is a 2001 song recorded by French singer @-@ songwriter Mylène Farmer . It was one of the singles from the soundtrack album for the film Rugrats in Paris : The Movie ( known in France as Les Razmokets à Paris ) . Written by Farmer , with music composed by her long @-@ time songwriting collaborator Laurent Boutonnat , the song was released on 27 February 2001 . The song deals with Melusine the fairy 's life , with lyrics which seem to be innocent and childish but in fact use many double entendres and puns which refer to sexual practices . Although it had no promotion from the singer , no music video and no regular broadcast on radio , the song managed to reach the top ten in France and in Belgium .
Speaking about the autobiographical elements of the show , the writer jokes that he has to remember that his wife didn 't leave him for an estate agent ; his wife was an estate agent .

The tender for the vessels was released in August 1984 , and was awarded to Australian Shipbuilding Industries Pty Ltd ( now Tenix Western Australia ) in September 1985 . The first of ten vessels was to be delivered in early 1987 . The first vessel , HMPNGS Tarangau , was officially handed over to the Papua New Guinea Defence Force on 16 May 1987 . Over the course of the project the number of participating countries increased . By the end of the construction phase of the project , a total of 22 boats had been delivered to 12 countries , compared to the original order of 10 boats for 8 countries . In total , the project cost for 22 vessels and associated support was A $ 155 @.@ 25 million .

The first tropical cyclone and hurricane of the 1861 season is believed to have formed on July 6 , immediately east of the Leeward Islands . A 1938 publication documented the storm 's effects on Guadeloupe and St. Kitts , and given a lack of prior reports on the cyclone , modern @-@ day reassessments concluded that it was relatively weak when it affected those islands . After crossing the northern Leeward Islands , the tropical storm broadly curved toward the northwest , likely intensifying into the equivalence of a Category 1 hurricane on the Saffir @-@ Simpson Hurricane Scale on July 9 . The majority of the storm 's track in the western Atlantic was unknown until it was reconstructed based on reports from , and the effects on , three ships in its vicinity .
In 1202 , Leonardo Fibonacci ( c 1170 – c 1250 ) introduced the Fibonacci number sequence to the western world with his book Liber Abaci . Fibonacci gave an ( unrealistic ) biological example , on the growth in numbers of a theoretical rabbit population . In 1917 , D 'Arcy Wentworth Thompson ( 1860 – 1948 ) published his book On Growth and Form . His description of phyllotaxis and the Fibonacci sequence , the mathematical relationships in the spiral growth patterns of plants , is classic . He showed that simple equations could describe all the apparently complex spiral growth patterns of animal horns and mollusc shells .
At 19 : 00 on 30 March , the Viet Minh 312th Division captured " Dominique 1 and 2 " , making " Dominique 3 " the final outpost between the Viet Minh and the French general headquarters , as well as outflanking all positions east of the river . At this point , the French 4th Colonial Artillery Regiment entered the fight , setting its 105 mm howitzers to zero elevation and firing directly on the Viet Minh attackers , blasting huge holes in their ranks . Another group of French , near the airfield , opened fire on the Viet Minh with anti @-@ aircraft machine guns , forcing the Viet Minh to retreat .
The Royal Tombs of the Joseon Dynasty in Korea , built between 1408 and 1966 , reflect a combination of Chinese and Japanese traditions , with a tomb mound , often surrounded by a screen wall of stone blocks , and sometimes with stone animal figures above ground , not unlike the Japanese haniwa figures ( see below ) . There is usually one or more T @-@ shaped shrine buildings some distance in front of the tomb , which is set in extensive grounds , usually with a hill behind them , and facing a view towards water and distant hills . They are still a focus for ancestor worship rituals . From the 15th century , they became more simple , while retaining a large landscape setting .

The Lobata have a pair of lobes , which are muscular , cuplike extensions of the body that project beyond the mouth . Their inconspicuous tentacles originate from the corners of the mouth , running in convoluted grooves and spreading out over the inner surface of the lobes ( rather than trailing far behind , as in the Cydippida ) . Between the lobes on either side of the mouth , many species of lobates have four auricles , gelatinous projections edged with cilia that produce water currents that help direct microscopic prey toward the mouth . This combination of structures enables lobates to feed continuously on suspended planktonic prey .
In 2011 , Denver Fowler and colleagues suggested a new method by which dromaeosaurs like Velociraptor and similar dromaeosaurs may have captured and restrained prey . This model , known as the " raptor prey restraint " ( RPR ) model of predation , proposes that dromaeosaurs killed their prey in a manner very similar to extant accipitrid birds of prey : by leaping onto their quarry , pinning it under their body weight , and gripping it tightly with the large , sickle @-@ shaped claws . Like accipitrids , the dromaeosaur would then begin to feed on the animal while still alive , until it eventually died from blood loss and organ failure . This proposal is based primarily on comparisons between the morphology and proportions of the feet and legs of dromaeosaurs to several groups of extant birds of prey with known predatory behaviors . Fowler found that the feet and legs of dromaeosaurs most closely resemble those of eagles and hawks , especially in terms of having an enlarged second claw and a similar range of grasping motion . The short metatarsus and foot strength , however , would have been more similar to that of owls . The RPR method of predation would be consistent with other aspects of Velociraptor 's anatomy , such as their unusual jaw and arm morphology . The arms , which could exert a lot of force but were likely covered in long feathers , may have been used as flapping stabilizers for balance while atop a struggling prey animal , along with the stiff counterbalancing tail . The jaws , thought by Fowler and colleagues to be comparatively weak , would have been useful for row saw motion bites like the modern day Komodo dragon , which also has a weak bite , to finish of its prey if the kicks weren 't powerful enough . These predatory adaptations working together may also have implications for the origin of flapping in paravians .

When Stephen King 's novella Apt Pupil was published as part of his collection Different Seasons in 1982 , producer Richard Kobritz optioned feature film rights to the novella . Kobritz met with actor James Mason to play the novella 's war criminal Kurt Dussander , but Mason died in July 1984 before production as a result of a heart attack . The producer also approached Richard Burton for the role , but Burton also died in August that same year . By 1987 production on the film began with Nicol Williamson cast as Kurt Dussander , and 17 @-@ year @-@ old Rick Schroder was cast as Todd Bowden . In that year , Alan Bridges began direction of the film with a script co @-@ written by Ken Wheat and his brother Jim Wheat . After ten weeks of filming , the production suffered from a lack of funds from its production company Granat Releasing , and the film had to be placed on hold . Kubritz sought to revive production , but when the opportunity came a year later , Schroder had aged too considerably for the film to work . Forty minutes of usable footage was abandoned .
