To remedy the causes of the fire, changes were made in the [Block II spacecraft] and [operational procedures], the most important of which were use of a [nitrogen/oxygen mixture] instead of [pure oxygen] before and during launch, and removal of [flammable cabin] and [space suit materials]. The Block II design already called for replacement of the [Block I plug-type hatch cover] with a [quick-release], [outward opening door].

The [Norman dynasty] had a major [political], [cultural] and [military] impact on medieval [Europe] and even the [Near East]. The Normans were famed for their [martial spirit] and eventually for their [Christian piety], becoming exponents of the [Catholic orthodoxy] into which they assimilated. They adopted the [Gallo-Romance language] of the [Frankish land] they settled, their dialect becoming known as [Norman], [Normaund] or [Norman French], an important [literary language]. The [Duchy of Normandy], which they formed by treaty with the [French crown], was a great [fief] of medieval [France], and under [Richard I of Normandy] was forged into a [cohesive] and [formidable principality] in feudal tenure.

Tension forces can be modeled using [ideal strings] that are [massless], [frictionless], [unbreakable], and [unstretchable].

The [Rankine cycle] is sometimes referred to as a [practical Carnot cycle] because, when an efficient [turbine] is used, the [TS diagram] begins to resemble the [Carnot cycle].

The [basic unit] of territorial division in [Poland] is a [commune] ([gmina]). A [city] is also a commune – but with the [city charter].

Since its founding, the EU has operated among an increasing plurality of national and globalising legal systems. This has meant both the [European Court of Justice] and the [highest national courts] have had to develop [principles] to resolve [conflicts of laws] between different systems. Within the EU itself, the [Court of Justice]'s view is that if [EU law] conflicts with a provision of [national law], then EU law has [primacy]. In the first major case in 1964, [Costa v ENEL], a [Milanese lawyer], and former [shareholder] of an [energy company], named [Mr Costa] refused to pay his [electricity bill] to [Enel], as a protest against the [nationalisation] of the [Italian energy corporations]. He claimed the [Italian nationalisation law] conflicted with the [Treaty of Rome], and requested a reference be made to both the [Italian Constitutional Court] and the [Court of Justice] under [TFEU article 267]. The [Italian Constitutional Court] gave an [opinion] that because the [nationalisation law] was from [1962], and the [treaty] was in force from [1958], [Costa] had no [claim]. By contrast, the [Court of Justice] held that ultimately the [Treaty of Rome] in no way prevented [energy nationalisation], and in any case under the [Treaty provisions] only the [Commission] could have brought a [claim], not [Mr Costa]. However, in [principle], [Mr Costa] was entitled to plead that the [Treaty] conflicted with [national law], and the [court] would have a [duty] to consider his claim to make a reference if there would be no [appeal] against its [decision]. The [Court of Justice], repeating its view in [Van Gend en Loos], said [member states] "albeit within [limited spheres], have restricted their [sovereign rights] and created a [body of law] applicable both to their [nationals] and to themselves" on the "basis of [reciprocity]". [EU law] would not "be overridden by [domestic legal provisions], however [framed]... without the [legal basis] of the [community] itself being called into question." This meant any "subsequent [unilateral act]" of the [member state] [inapplicable]. Similarly, in [Amministrazione delle Finanze v Simmenthal SpA], a [company], [Simmenthal SpA], claimed that a [public health inspection fee] under an [Italian law] of [1970] for importing [beef] from [France] to [Italy] was contrary to two [Regulations] from [1964] and [1968]. In "accordance with the [principle] of the [precedence] of [Community law]," said the [Court of Justice], the "directly applicable [measures] of the [institutions]" (such as the [Regulations] in the case) "render automatically inapplicable any [conflicting provision] of [current national law]". This was necessary to prevent a "corresponding denial" of [Treaty] "obligations undertaken [unconditionally] and [irrevocably] by [member states]", that could "imperil the very [foundations] of the" [EU]. But despite the views of the [Court of Justice], the [national courts] of [member states] have not accepted the same [analysis]. | Since its founding, the EU has operated among an increasing plurality of national and globalising legal systems.

He claimed the Italian nationalisation law conflicted with the Treaty of Rome, and requested a reference be made to both the Italian Constitutional Court and the Court of Justice under TFEU article 267. The Italian Constitutional Court gave an opinion that because the nationalisation law was from 1962, and the treaty was in force from 1958, Costa had no claim. By contrast, the Court of Justice held that ultimately the Treaty of Rome in no way prevented energy nationalisation, and in any case under the Treaty provisions only the Commission could have brought a claim, not Mr Costa. However, in principle, Mr Costa was entitled to plead that the Treaty conflicted with national law, and the court would have a duty to consider his claim to make a reference if there would be no appeal against its decision. The Court of Justice, repeating its view in Van Gend en Loos, said member states "albeit within limited spheres, have restricted their sovereign rights and created a body of law applicable both to their nationals and to themselves" on the "basis of reciprocity". EU law would not "be overridden by domestic legal provisions, however framed... without the legal basis of the community itself being called into question." This meant any "subsequent unilateral act" of the member state inapplicable. Similarly, in Amministrazione delle Finanze v Simmenthal SpA, a company, Simmenthal SpA, claimed that a public health inspection fee under an Italian law of 1970 for importing beef from France to Italy was contrary to two Regulations from 1964 and 1968. In "accordance with the principle of the precedence of Community law," said the Court of Justice, the "directly applicable measures of the institutions" (such as the Regulations in the case) "render automatically inapplicable any conflicting provision of current national law". This was necessary to prevent a "corresponding denial" of Treaty "obligations undertaken unconditionally and irrevocably by member states", that could "imperil the very foundations of the" EU. But despite the views of the Court of Justice, the national courts of member states have not accepted the same analysis. |

Under the suggestion of Subutai, the Mongol army was split into two forces. Genghis Khan led the main army on a raid through Afghanistan and northern India towards Mongolia, while another 20,000 (two tumen) contingent marched through the Caucasus and into Russia under generals Jebe and Subutai.

After a protracted siege, during which the Mongol army under Jani Beg was suffering from the disease, the army catapulted the infected corpses over the city walls of Kaffa to infect the inhabitants. The Genoese traders fled, taking the plague by ship into Sicily and the south of Europe, whence it spread north. Whether or not this hypothesis is accurate, it is clear that several existing conditions such as war, famine, and weather contributed to the severity of the Black Death. |
