Normally this reaction is suppressed in the synthesis reactor by maintaining an excess of ammonia, but after the stripper, it occurs until the temperature is reduced. Biuret is undesirable in fertilizer urea because it is toxic to crop plants, although to what extent depends on the nature of the crop and the method of application of the urea. (Biuret is actually welcome in urea when is used as a cattle feed supplement). | wikipedia |

The Allies needed a base for provisions and a good river crossing. Consequently, on 2 July Marlborough stormed the fortress of Schellenberg on the heights above the town of Donauwörth. Count Jean d'Arco had been sent with 12,000 men from the Franco-Bavarian camp to hold the town and grassy hill but after a fierce battle, with heavy casualties on both sides, Schellenberg fell. This forced Donauwörth to surrender shortly afterwards. Maximilian, knowing his position at Dillingen was now not tenable, took up a position behind the strong fortifications of Augsburg. | wikipedia |
The high cardiovascular safety margin validates the design of INT131 to minimize the safety and tolerability issues associated with full agonist PPAR-gamma agents while retaining the clinically proved anti-diabetic properties of PPAR-gamma. In addition, the 2-year rodent studies showed no evidence of carcinogenicity following lifetime exposure to INT131. These results are enabling for INT131 to initiate planned Phase 3 clinical studies. | 1billion |
Groups of 2-rank 2. Alperin showed that the Sylow subgroup must be dihedral, quasidihedral, wreathed, or a Sylow 2-subgroup of U3(4). The first case was done by the Gorenstein–Walter theorem which showed that the only simple groups are isomorphic to L2(q) for q odd or A7, the second and third cases were done by the Alperin–Brauer–Gorenstein theorem which implies that the only simple groups are isomorphic to L3(q) or U3(q) for q odd or M11, and the last case was done by Lyons who showed that U3(4) is the only simple possibility. | wikipedia |

These early reviews generally accepted Coleridge's story of composing the poem in a dream, but dismissed its relevance, and observed that many others have had similar experiences. More than one review suggested that the dream had not merited publication. One reviewer questioned whether Coleridge had really dreamed his composition, suggesting that instead he likely wrote it rapidly upon waking. | wikipedia |

He was the scientific director of the North Polar expedition of Roald Amundsen aboard the Maud from 1918 to 1925.

Upon his return from this long expedition exploring the shelf seas to the north of Siberia, he became the chair in meteorology at the University of Bergen. | wikipedia |
Biologically, an adult is an organism that has reached sexual maturity. In human context, the term adult has meanings associated with social and legal concepts. In contrast to a "minor", a legal adult is a person who has attained the age of majority and is therefore regarded as independent, self-sufficient, and responsible. The typical age of attaining legal adulthood is 18, although definition may vary by legal rights, country, and psychological development. | wikipedia |

Like other sci-fi channel movies of this type, the filmmakers rely heavily on computer generated effects. When they shoot attacks up close, the filmmakers create vague depictions of bloody arms and legs caught within the sharp grip inside the mouth of the gator. What's frustrating about this process is that you barely can see any of the bloody action, although the victims' screams are pretty effective as they are being torn into. Like in Jaws, Supergator has the public event scene(..a luau in this particular situation)our heroes attempt to stop due to the dangerous threat, falling on deaf ears with the organizers, resulting in a massacre. The cgi attacks are rather laughable, with only one or two that are even remotely effective. To their credit, the filmmakers try their best to stage the attacks as ferocious and horrifying as possible, but the cgi is just too obvious. I believe the closer attacks are staged so erratically due to the fact that all they had was a prosthetic mouth(..probably hands just operating it off screen), so the editing is haphazard not just for the attempt of capturing the situation in a feverish intensity, but out of necessity. | imdb |

That said, the Republican politicians these folks vote for are increasingly the puppets of wealthy, self-interested power-mongers, whose bidding they do.

This is not George Orwell's fiction, this is *our reality*--it's how a con man got elected President of the United States. Our own homegrown mind control--without "socialism"! | nyt_comments |

People are so cynical about government, especially the federal government, that they are willing to believe impossible promises and vote for someone known to distort the truth, just to shake things up.

Since the Japanese air arm had been decimated by this point in the war, the lack of trained and experienced pilots led their most extensive deployment of kamikaze.

I saw this at matinee prices, and feel that I overpaid. This movie is very predictable, and the plot hinges largely on completely implausible items. For example, after sitting in a warehouse for 1000 years, Harriers will still fly. And illiterate people can learn to fly them in battle in a week. And they carry enough fuel to get from Texas to Denver, hover interminably, and dogfight without refueling. And 1000 year old fuel will still be good. Oh, and igniting a planet's atmosphere will cause the planet itself to disintegrate into tiny pieces. | imdb |

i got a copy from the writer of this movie on soulseek. I have to say it is pathetic and just plain painful to watch the two cops act, but i watched the movie as a joke and since it is a homage to august's underground which i happened to have seen it is in my book as an awesome movie. Its quality and everything about it is pretty bad but its entertaining and something to talk about amongst your friends. Reminds me of troma but good stuff. I recommend seeing this under two conditions, if you are bored and need a good laugh, or high, otherwise just let it be. Recommended download for sure. o and the killings are pretty funny. like when the zombie rips the Satan worshipers dick off and stabs someone in the head with it. | imdb |

The Treaty of Lisbon took effect in December 2009 and brought an end to the pillar system. The CFSP's status of being a "pillar" thus ended. Furthermore, in an effort to ensure greater co-ordination and consistency in EU foreign policy, the Treaty of Lisbon created a High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, de facto merging the post of High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy and European Commissioner for External Relations and European Neighbourhood Policy. Since December 2011 the High Representative (HR) is in charge of the European External Action Service (EEAS), which was also created by the Treaty of Lisbon. It essentially is intended to be a common Foreign Office or Diplomatic Corps for the European Union. | wikipedia |

After previous temporary exhibitions on art historical themes, the Rijksmuseum in 2021 presented an exhibition on the history of slavery in the Dutch colonial Empire, with more than a million people forced into slavery. It covered trans-Atlantic slavery from the 17th to the 19th century in Suriname, Brazil and the Caribbean, as well as Dutch colonial slavery in South Africa and Asia, where the Dutch West India Company (WIC) and the Dutch East India Company (VOC) were engaged in slavery. Besides objects, such as a wooden block for locking slaves, paintings, archival documents, oral sources, poems and music, the exhibition also presented connections of the slavery system at home in the Netherlands. In the permanent collection, labels were added to 77 paintings and objects that had been seen as symbols of the country's wealth and power to indicate previously hidden links to slavery. | wikipedia |
