The capture of so great a city in the middle of the rainy season was an almost unprecedented achievement and a painful surprise to the Bengal Sultan. He had reckoned on Akbar following the good old Indian custom of waiting until the Dasahara festival in October to begin a campaign. But Akbar disregarded adverse weather conditions and so was able to win victories in defiance of the shastras and the seasons.

The country reckoned on and was influenced by Europe – usually behind time – and by the current trends like never before. Thus, in a sense, the imposition of the military junta conflicted with the social and cultural occurrences. The country descended into a prolonged political crisis, and elections were scheduled for late April 1967. On 21 April 1967 however, a group of right-wing colonels led by Colonel Georgios Papadopoulos seized power in a coup d'état establishing the Regime of the Colonels.

Matches in which no result on the first innings was arrived at had no bearing at all on the Championship. The scoring was reckoned on the percentage of points obtained to points obtainable. Obviously, if rain prevented play at a game’s beginning, limiting the issue to a first innings’ decision, percentage could suffer if two points were gained out of a ‘possible’ five. (The system was unfair because weather frequently did not allow time or scope for the winning of five points.) :“So, at Bath, Yorkshire obstinately declined to score and pass Somersetshire’s first innings’ total.

After the coalition had collapsed, the Liberals felt threatened by the rising popularity of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation. To lock out the CCF, the government adopted the alternative voting system instead of leaving the existing system in place or switching to STV. While they ran candidates separately under their own names, Liberal and Conservative party leaders believed that if Liberal voters picked the local Tory candidate as their second preference and vice versa, one of the candidates of the two parties would have enough votes to be elected in many districts, hopefully ensuring the coalition's retention of power. However, the Liberal and PC leaders had not reckoned on being so unpopular with the province's voters.

Pumping Station In 1937 Premier of South Australia Richard Butler negotiated with BHP to erect a blast furnace at Whyalla to process iron ore from Iron Knob using brown coal from Leigh Creek. Lack of sufficient fresh water was an obstacle, To this end Butler pushed through enabling legislation and sent engineers to Western Australia to inspect their achievements in above-ground pipelines, notably the Goldfields pipeline engineered by C. Y. O'Connor. In 1938 Premier Thomas Playford increased the demands on BHP, and came to an agreement with Essington Lewis that if the company were to install a tinplate manufacturing plant, the State would supply the water infrastructure. Playford reckoned on the proposed pipeline also supplying the needs of Commonwealth Railways at Port Augusta for their Trans Australian and Adelaide-Port Augusta railway lines.

Geoffrey Warner, "The Stavisky Affair and the Riots of February 6th 1934." History Today (1958): 377–85. Journalist Alexander Werth argues: :At that time the Croix de Feu, the Royalists, the Solidarité and the Jeunesses Patriotes had no more than a few thousand active members between them, and that they would have been incapable of a real armed uprising. What they reckoned on was the support of the Paris public as a whole; and the most that they could reasonably have aimed at was the resignation of the Daladier Government. When this happened, on February 7, Colonel de la Rocque announced that 'the first objective had been attained.'Alexander Werth and D. W. Brogan, The Twilight of France, 1933-1940 (1942) p. 16 online PCF = Communists; SFIO = Socialists The 6 February outrage shocked centrists and leftists, which had been feuding ceaselessly for decades. On February 12 by a huge leftist counterdemonstration in which communist workers spontaneously joined with the Radical Socialists and Socialists against what seemed to them to be a serious fascist threat.

Instead of presenting the map, he pulled out a dagger from his scroll, yet was unable to kill Ying Zheng.Needham (1986a), 534–535. The Rites of Zhou (Zhouli), compiled during the Han and commented by Liu Xin in the 1st century CE, mentioned the use of maps for governmental provinces and districts, principalities, frontier boundaries, and locations of ores and minerals for mining facilities. The first Chinese gazetteer was written in 52 CE and included information on territorial divisions, the founding of cities, and local products and customs.Hargett (1996), 406. Pei Xiu (224–271 CE) was the first to describe in detail the use of a graduated scale and geometrically plotted reference grid.Hsu (1993), 93–94; Needham (1986a), 538–540. However, historians Howard Nelson, Robert Temple, and Rafe de Crespigny argue that there is enough literary evidence that Zhang Heng's now lost work of 116 CE established the geometric reference grid in Chinese cartography (including a line from the Book of Later Han: "[Zhang Heng] cast a network of coordinates about heaven and earth, and reckoned on the basis of it").

Since few realizations were written down, except by pupils, not many have survived; (A sonata movement by Bach — Ex. 4 — is believed to be a rare exception for this major composer.) Where one has survived, it is precious evidence on the style of that particular time and place. The notation "had this inherent defect — that no one who had not heard a composer play from his own figured bass parts could know the precise effects he produced or intended" or contemplated (for styles and performing conventions varied much, not only from country to country, but from time to time). "... the vast terrain encompassed by the periods of Monteverdi and Mozart, the national styles of Italy, France, Germany and England, and the many different types of music that flourished in these lands in the 17th and 18th centuries. Well, of course no continuo player of the Baroque ever reckoned on having to manage all this; his style already existed where he lived, as did the musical idiom of the day, and all he had to be aware of ... was, whether he was in church, opera house or court concert": (Dalton, 1971).
