Brown became the first R&B male artist that went gold in a week since Usher's Confessions in 2004. In its second chart week, the album remained at number three on Billboard 200, with 73,000 album-equivalent units. In Australia, it entered the ARIA Albums Chart at number five, becoming his first top ten in the nation since X in 2014. In the United Kingdom, the album debuted at number 10 on the UK Albums Chart, Brown's sixth non-consecutive top 10 album on the chart. The album was eventually certified Silver by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) for sales of over 60,000 copies in the UK. In New Zealand, the album debuted at number three on the RMNZ Albums Chart, giving Brown his seventh top ten album on the chart. Until June 2018, the album has accumulated over 3\u00a0billion streams worldwide.\n", "title": "Heartbreak on a Full Moon", "pid": "p_7" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "In the 2010 local elections local Liberal Democrats lost all three seats to local Conservatives", "indices": [ 110, 205 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "2010 London local elections" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "What margin did liberals lose to conservatives in 2010?", "qid": "q_14" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 100, 108 ], "target": "Marginal seat" }, { "indices": [ 117, 137 ], "target": "2010 London local elections" }, { "indices": [ 144, 161 ], "target": "Liberal Democrats (UK)" }, { "indices": [ 192, 206 ], "target": "Conservative Party (UK)" }, { "indices": [ 247, 263 ], "target": "Richmond upon Thames London Borough Council" }, { "indices": [ 298, 318 ], "target": "2018 United Kingdom local elections" }, { "indices": [ 456, 469 ], "target": "Richmond Park (UK Parliament constituency)" }, { "indices": [ 570, 591 ], "target": "2010 United Kingdom general election" }, { "indices": [ 640, 656 ], "target": "2016 Richmond Park by-election" }, { "indices": [ 698, 711 ], "target": "Zac Goldsmith" }, { "indices": [ 719, 740 ], "target": "2017 United Kingdom general election" }, { "indices": [ 775, 790 ], "target": "London Assembly" }, { "indices": [ 804, 814 ], "target": "South West (London Assembly constituency)" }, { "indices": [ 883, 894 ], "target": "Tony Arbour" } ], "text": "The Mortlake and Barnes Common ward of the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames has proved highly marginal.

This plan was generally accepted; unfortunately, there were a few substantial sticking points. By 1960, Abbas was becoming frustrated with the West as he lashed out at the United Kingdom and the United States for supplying weaponry to France.

As a result of pinning Prince Devitt in the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship match, Richards was granted another shot at his IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship on December 4, but failed in his attempt to become a double champion. On January 4, 2012, at Wrestle Kingdom VI in Tokyo Dome, Richards and Romero lost the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship back to Devitt and Taguchi. On February 12 at The New Beginning, the No Remorse Corps defeated Apollo 55 to regain the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship. As a result, Richards received his third shot at the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship on March 10, but was yet again defeated by Prince Devitt. On May 2, Richards and Romero were stripped of the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship, after a car accident forced Richards to miss his flight to Japan and the following day's Wrestling Dontaku 2012 event, where the two were scheduled to defend the title against Jushin Thunder Liger and Tiger Mask. Despite being able to wrestle in the United States, New Japan also pulled Richards from the 2012 Best of the Super Juniors tournament, citing doctor's orders.\n", "title": "Davey Richards", "pid": "p_28" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "currently the Director of Player Personnel for the St. Louis BattleHawks.

Around the sixth century CE, Devagiri emerged as an important uplands town near present-day Aurangabad, along caravan routes going towards western and southern India. The historical triangular fortress in the city was initially built around 1187 by the first Yadava king, Bhillama V. In 1308, the city was annexed by Sultan Alauddin Khalji of the Delhi Sultanate, which ruled over most of the Indian subcontinent. In 1327, Sultan Muhammad bin Tughluq of the Delhi Sultanate renamed the city as \"Daulatabad\" and shifted his imperial capital to the city from Delhi, ordering a mass migration of Delhi's population to Daulatabad. However, Muhammad bin Tughluq reversed his decision in 1334 and the capital of the Delhi Sultanate was shifted back from Daulatabad to Delhi. In 1499, Daulatabad became a part of the Ahmadnagar Sultanate, who used it as their secondary capital. In 1610, near Daulatabad Fort, the new city of Aurangabad, then named Khadki, was established to serve as the capital of the Ahmadnagar Sultanate by the Ethiopian military leader Malik Ambar, who was brought to India as a slave but rose to become a popular Prime Minister of the Ahmadnagar Sultanate.

As a document, the revised history is used to negate the validity of the factual, documentary record, and so reframe explanations and perceptions of the discussed historical event, in order to deceive the reader, the listener, and the viewer; therefore, historical negationism functions as a technique of propaganda.

The entire digital project was a joint venture with the Freberg Communications Corporation of Illinois, Harris Corporation of Florida, Pacific Research and Engineering of California, A-Ware Corporation (Musicmaster) of Wisconsin, and Broadcast Electronics Corporation of Illinois. WLRA also added RDS Radio Data System to the FM transmission allowing information about the artist and song to be displayed on a radio tuned to 88.1-FM. Lewis University installed a new self standing radio tower and new digital IBOC or HD Radio ready ERI Rototiler single bay fm antenna in 2000 adjacent to DeLaSalle Hall. WLRA increased the antenna height to HAAT and had to reduce the effective radiated power to 140 watts. WLRA moved from the basement of Fitzpatick Hall dormitory basement to new studios and broadcasting center in December 2005. The new broadcasting facility was named The Andrew Center of Electronic Media at Lewis University. The state of the art broadcasting studios and transmitters are located in DeLaSalle Hall on the Lewis University Romeoville campus. In 2005 WLRA began streaming a simulcast of the station over the Internet and in 2008 mobile media APPs for the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch. Simultaneously Apple added WLRA as one of their iTunes Radio Stations under College format. WLRA uses an AES3 Orban Opticodec audio processing/encoder for their 128kbs and 64kbs bit streams. In 2010, WLRA and Broadcast Electronics, Inc. integrated social media automation and Twitter with the newest generation of Broadcast Electronics AudioVault (FLEX) and Message Manager (TRE) RBDS data. The automation allow listeners to be notified of favorite artist being played through tagging. WLRA was the first station to have Broadcast Electronics integrate customer supplied computers, paving the way for other stations to upgrade into new generation Audiovault FLEX.

Ten of the 15 countries with the highest levels of inequality are in the region. Women, indigenous populations and those of African descent are most affected. Females in the region take a greater part in the informal economy and have double the workload than males but are paid less for their efforts. When compared to those of European descent, twice as many members of indigenous and African descended populations, on average, live on US$1 per day. Latin America still faces corrupt political, judicial, and security institutions protective of the interests of the wealthy. The second edition of the Global Burden of Armed Violence report by the Secretariat of the Geneva Declaration on Armed Violence and Development, released in October 2011, characterized El Salvador as being the \"most violent country in the world\" during 2004\u20139, with an average annual violent death rate of over 60 per 100,000 people during that period, just ahead of Iraq. During the first week of November (2011), Manuel Melgar (the justice and public security minister of El Salvador) resigned from his post. The region overall is second to South Africa in terms of levels of crime and violence. Educational practices are also being questioned across the region. Chile has been experiencing five months of protests against the government's attempt to maintain the higher education's private sector model. Students and teachers in opposition hope to revert to a state funded model, under an \"Education for All\" slogan in fear of emerging from universities with debts and loans. These street demonstrations, now catching congress' attention, are a threat to Chiles' 2012 budget. Without the proposed spending, potential education, health, training and anti-poverty programs will cease. In Latin America, risks of inflation and excessive currency appreciation are a concern to the region's long-term growth prospects and present instability in the financial sector. Current events such as the European debt crisis, the slow recovery in the US, natural and nuclear disasters in Japan and the implications from the political turmoil in the Middle East stall progress within the region and foreshadow more difficult economic conditions.\n", "title": "Communication for social change", "pid": "p_60" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "Born in Cologne-Lindenthal, Reinert volunteered for military service in the National Socialist Luftwaffe in 1938.

The Soviet victories caused participating Soviet units to over-extend themselves, though this was largely due to Manstein's strategy of controlled retreat towards the Dneiper. Freed on 2 February by the surrender of the German Sixth Army, the Red Army's Central Front turned its attention west and on 25 February expanded its offensive against both Army Group South and Army Group Center.

To avoid being in a large batch of jobbing rhythm guitarists all seeking work, Elem moved over to playing the electric bass guitar. In 1956, this instrument was something of a rarity in Chicago, and Elem formed a band with the harmonica player Earl Payton, and a young Freddie King on lead guitar. The same year, King recorded his debut single for El-Bee Records. The A-side was \"Country Boy\", a duet with Margaret Whitfield. The B-side, \"That's What You Think\", was a King vocal. Both tracks featured the guitar of Robert Lockwood Jr., and the bass playing of Elem.

But surprisingly for him his request not only was accepted, but also help was offered for him before and during competition. On July 30, 1932, he paraded in the opening ceremony representing a country not affiliated to the IOC back then. He competed in the marathon, but after ten kilometers was unable to finish and the race was won by Argentina's Juan Carlos Zabala. Fourteen years later in 1946, Colombia's first olympian dies in Bogot\u00e1, 4 days after suffering a motorcycle accident near his native Samac\u00e1. For the 1936 edition of the Games, the Comit\u00e9 Ol\u00edmpico Colombiano was already created and sent five athletes to compete in Berlin. After the controversial decision to replay a football match between Peru and Austria (after an adverse result for the Austrians), the Colombian delegation left the olympic village as a sign of support to the Peruvian team. After the conclusion of World War II, the 1948 London Olympics were held and the Colombian contingent for the first time included athletes from sports other than track and field, taking part in fencing and swimming. Due to financing problems and a then ongoing violent period, Colombia did not take part in the 1952 Helsinki Olympics. For the Melbourne Games in 1956, the Colombian team expanded from a few competitors to 26 athletes, sending cyclists and weightlifters for the first time. Colombian athletes continued participating at the Olympics since then without missing a Summer edition of the Games, sending females athletes to compete for the first time at the 1968 Summer Olympics held in Mexico City.\n", "title": "Colombia at the Olympics", "pid": "p_77" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "JG 77 participated in the Balkans Campaign", "indices": [ 700, 742 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "\n\nThe Balkans campaign of World War II began with the Italian invasion of Greece on 28 October 1940.

In 1548 Edward VI ordered the destruction of all aspects of \u2018Popish Superstition\u2019 within the churches of his realm. The Jerseymen, strongly influenced by Huguenot immigrants fleeing persecution in France, carried out the King's orders with zeal, and all altars, fonts, holy water stoups and piscinas were removed, the rood screen was dismantled, the stained glass smashed and all but one bell was taken from the tower. A huge triple-decker pulpit was erected in the crossing and pews were arranged around it. Seven galleries were built, including one reserved for smokers. In spite of the return of Anglican worship in the 17th century, the church continued in this state until the 1860s, by which time it had fallen into considerable disrepair. A major project of restoration was undertaken to repair and re-order the building after the conventions of the Church of England. The pulpit was replaced by a much more modest affair at the north west corner of the crossing, the galleries were broken up, the pews were taken out and replaced by a new set facing the restored altar at the east end. The original font, left in the churchyard, was given to Grouville Parish Church and a new font installed. An extension was made to the west end of the Nave, and a new gallery was installed there and in the South Transept. New choir stalls were erected in the chancel.

Although Forsyth rejected many of his earlier liberal leanings he retained many of Adolf von Harnack's criticisms of Chalcedonian Christology. This led him to expound a kenotic doctrine of the incarnation (clearly influenced by Bishop Charles Gore and Thomasius). Where he differed from other kenotic theologies of the atonement was the claim that Christ did not give up his divine attributes but condensed them; i.e., the incarnation was the expression of God's omnipotence rather than its negation. His theology and attack on liberal Christianity can be found in his most famous work, The Person and Place of Christ (1909), which anticipated much of the neo-orthodox theology of the next generation.

Tiridates, as the true heir to the now Persian-occupied Armenian throne, came to Armenia and quickly raised an army and drove the enemy out in 287. When Tiridates returned to Armenia, he made the city of Vagharshapat his capital, as it had been the capital of his late father. For a while, fortune appeared to favour Tiridates. He not only expelled his enemies, but he carried his arms into Assyria. At the time the Persian Empire was in a distracted state. The throne was disputed by the ambition of two contending brothers, Hormuz and Narses. The civil war was, however, soon terminated and Narses was universally acknowledged as King of Persia. Narses then directed his whole force against the foreign enemy. The contest then became too unequal. Tiridates once more took refuge with the Romans. The Roman-Armenian alliance grew stronger, especially while Diocletian ruled the empire. This can be attributed to the upbringing of Tiridates, the consistent Persian aggressions and the murder of his father by Anak. With Diocletian's help, Tiridates pushed the Persians out of Armenia. In 299, Diocletian left the Armenian state in a quasi-independent and protectorate status possibly to use it as a buffer in case of a Persian attack. Tiridates married an Alani Princess called Ashkhen in 297 by whom he had three children: a son called Khosrov III, a daughter called Salome and an unnamed daughter who married St. Husik I, one of the earlier Catholicoi of the Armenian Apostolic Church.\n", "title": "Tiridates III of Armenia", "pid": "p_102" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "The goddess Bast would later make her first appearance (as a totem) with the Black Panther in Fantastic Four #52 (July 1966).", "indices": [ 658, 783 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "The goddess Bast would later make her first appearance (as a totem) with the Black Panther in Fantastic Four #52 (July 1966).", "indices": [ 658, 783 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Black Panther is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

Following Singapore's amalgamation into the Straits Settlements in 1826, it was governed by a governor together with a legislative council. An executive council of the Straits Settlements was introduced in 1877 to advise the Governor but wielded no executive power. In 1955, a Council of Ministers was created, appointed by the Governor on the recommendation of the Leader of the House. Constitutional talks between Legislative Assembly representatives and the Colonial Office were held from 1956 to 1958, and Singapore gained full internal self-government in 1959. The governor was replaced by the Yang di-Pertuan Negara, who had power to appoint to the post of prime minister the person most likely to command the authority of the assembly, and other ministers of the Cabinet on the prime minister's advice. In the 1959 general elections, the People's Action Party (PAP) swept to power with 43 out of the 51 seats in the assembly, and Lee Kuan Yew became the first prime minister of Singapore. The executive branch of the Singapore Government remained unchanged following Singapore's merger with Malaysia in 1963, and subsequent independence in 1965. The PAP has been returned to power in every general election and has thus formed the Cabinet since 1959. The government is generally perceived to be competent in managing the country's economy and largely free from political corruption. On the other hand, it has been criticized for using unfair election tactics, violating freedom of speech and its excessive use of the death penalty (by hanging) for non-violent crimes.\n", "title": "Government of Singapore", "pid": "p_121" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "Lil Jon, is an American rapper", "indices": [ 64, 94 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "He was the lead frontman of the multi-platinum selling rap group, Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz", "indices": [ 158, 252 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Lil Jon" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "What year was Lil Jon's platinum selling rap group founded?", "qid": "q_235" }, { "context": [ { "text": "\"Yeah!\" won a Grammy Award for Best Rap/Sung Performance.", "indices": [ 491, 548 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": " 2005 Grammy Awards", "indices": [ 7094, 7113 ], "passage": "Yeah!

In this study, experiments visualized a short glass fiber deforming in fluid flow, and analysis showed how the fiber can reduce the drag force exerted by the fluid by changing its shape. This work was published 2002 in Nature under the title Drag Reduction Through Self-Similar Bending of a Flexible Body, and was the subject of various news articles in periodicals including The New York Times and others. As a Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard, Alben collaborated with Ernst A. van Nierop and Michael P. Brenner in a paper titled \"How Bumps on Whale Flippers Delay Stall: An Aerodynamic Model\". The paper gave a mathematical model for this hydrodynamic phenomenon. This result, featured in MIT's Technology Review and Nature, provides a theoretical basis for potential improvements in using bumps for more stable airplanes, more agile submarines, and more efficient turbine blades. In 2007, Alben investigated (with Michael P. Brenner) the self-assembly of a 3D structures from flat, elastic sheets. This experiment, featured on New Scientist, presented a new technique in nano construction; previously, the transformation of flat sheets to 3D structures were performed by random formation, but in this study, the addition of biases into the design of the sheets gave the possibility of predicting the resulting shape.\n", "title": "Silas D.

As a result of these efforts, Otranto was taken from the Saracens in 873, and Bari, captured from Arabs by the Holy Roman Emperor Louis II in 871, passed under Byzantine control in 876. The expeditions of the capable general Nikephoros Phokas the Elder in the mid-880s further extended Byzantine control over most of Apulia and Calabria. These victories were followed up by his successors and laid the foundation of a resurgence of Byzantine power in southern Italy, culminating in the establishment of the theme of Longobardia in c. 892. The regions of Apulia, Calabria and Basilicata would remain firmly under Byzantine control until the 11th century.

He was from Concord, North Carolina and majored in communication at the University of South Carolina. Raiford got his start in broadcasting in 1944 by calling play by play at baseball games. His first real radio job was at WEGO (AM) in Concord, North Carolina. Raiford has appeared in 28 movies, often portraying judge characters. He frequently closed his commentaries with the line \"Who says that? I say that!\", which also served as the title of a book containing excerpts from these segments. Early in his career, Raiford worked for WTOP radio and WTOP-TV, both CBS News affiliates in Washington, D.C.. His best-known work was a live radio broadcast on WTOP, a CBS Radio affiliate, covering the state funeral of President John F. Kennedy. He also worked at Charlotte radio station WBT. Raiford also hosted a show on WIST, which aired Charlotte's first telephone talk radio format. He later taught Communications at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. From 1978 to 1986, Raiford was a news anchor and talk show host for Charlotte's NBC television affiliate. It was known as WRET-TV and then WPCQ-TV during his tenure there; it is now WCNC-TV. On the June 9, 2016, episode of The John Boy and Billy Big Show, John Isley (\"John Boy\") announced that Raiford had retired from the show, due to suffering a stroke the previous August that greatly affected his speech and mobility.

Pakistan is home to several film studios centres, primarily located in its two largest cities - Karachi and Lahore. Pakistani cinema has played an important part in Pakistani culture and in recent years has begun flourishing again after years of decline, delivering entertainment to audiences in Pakistan and expatriates abroad. Several film industries are based in Pakistan, which tend to be regional and niche in nature. Over 10,000 Urdu feature films have been produced in Pakistan since 1948, as well as over 8000 Punjabi, 6000 Pashto and 2000 Sindhi feature-length films. The first film ever produced was Husn Ka Daku in 1930, directed by Abdur Rashid Kardar in Lahore. The first Pakistani-film produced was Teri Yaad, directed by Daud Chand in 1948. Between 1947 and 2007, Pakistani cinema was based in Lahore, home to the nation's largest film industry (nicknamed Lollywood). Pakistani films during this period attracted large audiences and had a strong cult following, was part of the cultural mainstream, widely available and imitated by the masses. During the early 1970s, Pakistan was the world's fourth largest producer of feature films. However, between 1977 and 2007, the film industry of Pakistan went into decline due to Islamization, strengthening of censorship laws and an overall lack of quality. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, the film industry went through several periods of ups and downs, a reflection of its dependency on state funding and incentives. By 2000, the film industry in Lahore had collapsed and saw a gradual shift of Pakistani actors, actresses, producers and filmmakers from Lahore to Karachi. By 2007, the wounds of Pakistan's collapsed film industry began to heal and Karachi had cemented itself as the center of Pakistani cinema. This was the time new generation producers stepped into the industry with short films with Quality story line and new technology led to an explosion of alternative form of Pakistani cinema. The shift has been seen by many as the leading cause for the \"resurgence of Pakistani cinema\". Despite the industry crisis starting in the mid-1980s, Pakistani films have retained much of their distinctive identity. Since the shift to Karachi, Pakistani films have once again began attracting a strong cult following.\n", "title": "Cinema of Pakistan", "pid": "p_138" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "The new Bulgarian authorities decided to merge several of the best clubs from Skopje, namely Gra\u0111anski, SSK Skoplje, \u017dSK, Pobeda Skoplje and Jug, into one which they named FC Makedonia.

Initially a sixty-man all-Indian company led by British colonial officers, the original Native American members of the unit were gradually replaced by Anglo-Americans and recent Scots and Irish immigrants and were a minority in the unit by the mid-1750s. The company were reconnaissance experts as well as renowned for their expertise at both water-borne operations and frontier guerrilla warfare. They were known for surprise amphibious raids on Acadian and Mi'kmaq coastal or riverine settlements, using large whaleboats, which carried between ten and fifteen rangers each. This small unit was the main British military force defending Nova Scotia from 1744 to 1749.

Uropa Lula signed to Arista Records in May 1982 and spent the rest of that year recording album tracks and their first two singles, \"Our Love Has Just Begun\" and \"Fell Upon a Jewel\" at Trident Studios, The Manor Studio, Townhouse Studios and RAK Studios. To tie in with the release of the first single, the band recorded a live session for the David Jensen show on Radio 1 for the BBC. The session was produced by Dale Griffin, the English drummer and founding member of 1970s rock band Mott the Hoople and featured two songs, \"Here's a Medal\" and \"Timber Fall I\". A month later, Uropa Lula returned to London's Capital Radio to record their second live session for the Nicky Horne show playing two songs, \"I Am My Older Brother\" and \"Leather and Metal (Winter's Here)\".

With some irony, the band had by this point changed their name to Viva Lula and as part of the promotion of their third single, \"Dad Sings the Blues\"; they toured the UK with Big Country in June 1983.

The opening track, \"Irresistible\", is an R&B song with dance-pop influences. It also exhibits elements of pop rock and funk genres, while incorporating latin rhythms. Aside from including a string section, the track features Simpson's breathy vocals, spoken passages and a mid-section breakdown, where her vocals are \"funk-fortified\". According to author Ben Graham, the lyrics of the song see Simpson stripping her famous virginity image down. Bob Waliszewski of Plugged In gave a similar observation of the lyrics, writing that they point to an imminent sexual compromise. \"A Little Bit\" is a dance-pop song following the same beat-oriented pattern as \"Irresistible\". It features piano instrumentation and Simpson sings the lyrics as rapid-fire verses and with start-and-stop hooks. Simpson again adopts breathy vocals, and the lyrics talk about what she expects from her partner: \"A little more time, a little less wait / A little more heart, a little less break\". The lyrics also demand healthy changes in her relationship. \"Forever In Your Eyes\" explores elements of Latin music, as the song is backed by Spanish guitar and infused with hip-hop beats. The lyrics describe a couple in love lying together \"all through the night\". \"There You Were\" is a torchy power ballad which drew comparisons to Simpson's previous song \"Where You Are\" (2000). The lyrics of the song are a homage to the protagonist's partner, who changed her life.

Snyder, now on first base, complained to Walsh that Mullane was bringing his arm above his shoulder when pitching, which was not permitted at the time. Walsh overruled the complaint, however, and Mullane got Dan \"Ecky\" Stearns to ground out to end the game. The game was also notable for another incident in the eighth inning; the American Association's rules at that time permitted a substitute to run for a batter who was injured, as long as both teams' captains consented, with the substitute standing behind home plate and prepared to run if the hitter made contact. Pete Browning, who had a pulled leg muscle and had not reached base in the game, batted what appeared to be a single into right field, but forgot the presence of the substitute (Hecker) and ran to first base as Hecker stopped in surprise. Snyder, the Cincinnati catcher, had pitcher Will White throw the ball to Stearns at first base, and Walsh immediately signaled an out, ruling that Hecker was the correct runner and had not reached first. The lost hit eventually resulted in Browning's final career batting average being .341 rather than .342; the higher average would have tied him with Dan Brouthers for the highest mark among players of the era before , when the pitching distance was extended from 50 to 60'6\".\n", "title": "Mike Walsh (umpire)", "pid": "p_193" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "Archibald Magill Fauntleroy (b. in Warrenton, Virginia, 8 July 1837; d. in Staunton, Virginia, 19 June 1886", "indices": [ 0, 107 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": " The population was 9,611 at the 2010 census", "indices": [ 64, 108 ], "passage": "Warrenton, Virginia" }, { "text": "s of the 2010 census, the population was 23,746.

Overarching these systems is the law of the United Kingdom, also known as United Kingdom law or (more rarely) British law.

His first real test came on September 15th in a game against the 17th ranked Boise State Broncos. Cornelius threw for 243 yards and 1 touchdown while adding the game-sealing touchdown on the ground. This win bumped the Cowboys up to number 15 in the Associated Press rankings. After losing 3 of the next 4 games, the Cowboys sat at 4-3 when the Texas Longhorns came to Stillwater. Cornelius shined on national TV, throwing for 321 yards and 3 touchdowns and adding 2 more rushing touchdowns en route to a 38\u201335 win. Two weeks later, the Cowboys went on the road to Norman, Oklahoma to take on the Oklahoma Sooners in the yearly Bedlam Series. Cornelius went toe-to-toe with future number 1 overall pick Kyler Murray. He threw for a Bedlam school record 501 yards and 3 touchdowns. On the last offensive play of the game, Cornelius under threw star wideout Tylan Wallace, ending any upset bid the Cowboys had going.

Averaging 13 minutes of ice time a game, he was eventually taken out of the lineup for four games in November by Canucks head coach Alain Vigneault.

meander of the River Kelvin. The original site on the High Street was sold to the City of Glasgow Union Railway and replaced by the College goods yard. The new-build campus was designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott in the Gothic revival style. The largest of these buildings echoed, on a far grander scale, the original High Street campus's twin-quadrangle layout, and may have been inspired by Ypres' late medieval cloth hall; Gilmorehill in turn inspired the design of the Clocktower complex of buildings for the new University of Otago in New Zealand. In 1879, Gilbert Scott's son, Oldrid, completed this original vision by building an open undercroft forming two quadrangles, above which is his grand Bute Hall (used for examinations and graduation ceremonies), named after its donor, John Crichton-Stuart, 3rd Marquess of Bute. Oldrid also later added a spire to the building's signature gothic bell tower in 1887, bringing it to a total height of some . The local Bishopbriggs blond sandstone cladding and Gothic design of the building's exterior belie the modernity of its Victorian construction; Scott's building is structured upon what was then a cutting-edge riveted iron frame construction, supporting a lightweight wooden-beam roof. The building also forms the second-largest example of Gothic revival architecture in Britain, after the Palace of Westminster.

He established a herbarium of mycological specimens where he was employed for many years at the Kentville Research Station (now the Atlantic Food and Horticulture Research Centre); most of his collections are now housed at the Canadian National Mycological Herbarium. His early research concerned the fungal infestation of plants, such as that of Colletotrichum lindemuthianum on beans (Phaseolus). Working with John Frederick DeWitt Hockey, they made many contributions to the control and prevention of diseases of horticultural crops. They were among the first to use the sticky slide spore trap to estimate the densities of fungal spores.\n", "title": "Kenneth A.

In purely-technical terms, the Pattons were far superior to the much-older Shermans, with shots at more than 1,000 meters simply glancing off the M48's armor. However, the 105\u00a0mm main gun of the Israeli Shermans fired a HEAT round designed to defeat the Soviet T-62 tank, which was the USSR's response to the M48's successor in US service, the M60 Patton. The Jordanian Pattons' general failure on the West Bank could also be attributed to excellent Israeli air superiority. The Israeli Army captured about 100 Jordanian M48 and M48A1 tanks and pressed them into service in their own units after the war, as the same as were the Jordanian M113 APCs they seized during the war.\n", "title": "M48 Patton", "pid": "p_280" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "On the song \"The Kid Frankie\", Khalifa raps over the English R&B band Loose Ends' No. 1 hit single, \"Hangin' on a String\" (1985).

Raymond Adam Kline and Marie (Herb). He, and his three sisters, were raised by their mother after their father died in 1936 from respiratory complications brought on by mustard gas exposure in World War I. Economic circumstances after Rev. Kline's death compelled the family to move to the Lutheran Orphans Home in Topton, PA. Kline, along with his mother Marie and three sisters, Helen, Marguerite and Yvonne, lived for two years at the orphanage from 1938 to 1940. Kline attended Lebanon High School in Lebanon, Pennsylvania from 1941 to 1944 where he was actively involved in academic clubs and sports. After graduating high school, Kline attended the Virginia Military Institute in the Army Specialized Training Program in 1944. He then volunteered in the U.S. Army during World War II, serving in active duty as Staff Sergeant and platoon leader, 1st Division, 26th Infantry Regiment in the European theater from 1944 to 1946. While in Germany, he stood guard at the Nuremberg trials of Nazi war criminals. Kline attended Lebanon Valley College from 1946 to 1950 on the G.I. Bill and graduated with an A.B. degree in political science (Pi Gamma Mu). Kline was later recalled back to the U.S. Army during the Korean War and served in the Military Police Corps from 1950 to 1951. After his years in military service, Kline took on various jobs including working as a police officer in Ocean City, Maryland. Kline attended George Washington University School of Public Administration at night from 1952 to 1954 and fell short of his master's degree when he learned that his thesis topic had already been taken. His work and law school superseded efforts to complete the thesis. From 1954 to 1957, Kline attended George Washington University Law School and graduated with a LLB degree (Phi Delta Phi). The law degree fulfilled a promise that Kline made to his father just prior to his death. Kline was admitted to the Bar of the District of Columbia in 1958. In 1959, he was admitted to Federal Bar Association.

On 12 July 2010, Tsai attended a press conference for China's Got Talent and played a promotional song, which later revealed as the track \"Black-Haird Beautiful Girl\" on the album.\n", "title": "Myself (album)", "pid": "p_285" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "Benny Moldovanu earned", "indices": [ 0, 22 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "He then obtained a PhD", "indices": [ 175, 197 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "In total the University of Bonn owns 371 buildings.", "indices": [ 9973, 10024 ], "passage": "University of Bonn" } ], "question_links": [ "Hebrew University of Jerusalem", "University of Bonn" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "Of the universities where Benny studied, which one has a smaller campus?", "qid": "q_581" }, { "context": [ { "text": "he then became full professor at the", "indices": [ 448, 484 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "University of Mannheim" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "Who was the first president of the university where Benny became full professor?", "qid": "q_582" }, { "context": [ { "text": "has chaired the Scientific Committees", "indices": [ 1515, 1552 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "It was founded on December 29, 1930", "indices": [ 248, 283 ], "passage": "Econometric Society" }, { "text": "The Verein was founded in Eisenach in 1872 as a response to the \"social question\".", "indices": [ 144, 226 ], "passage": "Verein f\u00fcr Socialpolitik" } ], "question_links": [ "Econometric Society", "Verein f\u00fcr Socialpolitik" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 77, "text": "German Economic Association", "passage": "verein f\u00fcr socialpolitik", "end": 104 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "Of the organizations Benny has chaired, which one is older?", "qid": "q_583" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 25, 28 ], "target": "Bachelor of Science" }, { "indices": [ 33, 36 ], "target": "Master of Science" }, { "indices": [ 40, 51 ], "target": "Mathematics" }, { "indices": [ 61, 91 ], "target": "Hebrew University of Jerusalem" }, { "indices": [ 220, 238 ], "target": "University of Bonn" }, { "indices": [ 252, 272 ], "target": "Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences" }, { "indices": [ 280, 295 ], "target": "Reinhard Selten" }, { "indices": [ 320, 331 ], "target": "Habilitation" }, { "indices": [ 485, 507 ], "target": "University of Mannheim" }, { "indices": [ 676, 709 ], "target": "Bonn Graduate School of Economics" }, { "indices": [ 750, 782 ], "target": "Hausdorff Center for Mathematics" }, { "indices": [ 836, 852 ], "target": "Mechanism design" }, { "indices": [ 857, 868 ], "target": "Game theory" }, { "indices": [ 1138, 1171 ], "target": "University of Michigan" }, { "indices": [ 1173, 1196 ], "target": "Northwestern University" }, { "indices": [ 1198, 1223 ], "target": "University College London" }, { "indices": [ 1225, 1240 ], "target": "Yale University" }, { "indices": [ 1242, 1261 ], "target": "Tel Aviv University" }, { "indices": [ 1271, 1301 ], "target": "Hebrew University of Jerusalem" }, { "indices": [ 1384, 1413 ], "target": "European Economic Association" }, { "indices": [ 1418, 1437 ], "target": "Game Theory Society" }, { "indices": [ 1467, 1502 ], "target": "Centre for Economic Policy Research" }, { "indices": [ 1560, 1579 ], "target": "Econometric Society" }, { "indices": [ 1584, 1611 ], "target": "Verein f\u00fcr Socialpolitik" }, { "indices": [ 1660, 1672 ], "target": "Econometrica" }, { "indices": [ 1674, 1718 ], "target": "Journal of the European Economic Association" }, { "indices": [ 1720, 1747 ], "target": "Games and Economic Behavior" }, { "indices": [ 1749, 1775 ], "target": "Journal of Economic Theory" }, { "indices": [ 1781, 1796 ], "target": "Economic Policy (journal)" } ], "text": "Benny Moldovanu earned a BSc and MSc in mathematics from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 1986 and 1989, respectively, the latter under the supervision of Bezalel Peleg.

That same year he recorded \"Puedes llegar\", theme song for the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, with singers Gloria Estefan, Jon Secada and Ricky Martin among others. In 1997, he recorded the album Me Estoy Enamorando, produced by Emilio Estefan, Jr. The music of the album is a fusion of bolero, romantic ballad, orchestral arrangements and a touch of Mexican mariachi that became popular in the Latin music sector. \"Si T\u00fa Supieras\" was the most outstanding hit of that production, and it was chosen as the theme of the hit soap opera of the time, \"Maria Isabel\". It also conquered the U.S. market, lasting seven weeks at the top of Billboard Hot Latin Tracks.

Italian annexation of Massawa denied the Ethiopian Empire of Yohannes IV an outlet to the sea and prevented any expansion of French Somaliland. At the same time, Italy occupied territory on the south side of the horn of Africa, forming what would become Italian Somaliland. However, Italy coveted Ethiopia itself and, in 1887, Italian Prime Minister Agostino Depretis ordered an invasion, leading to the Eritrea War. This invasion was halted after the loss of five hundred Italian troops at the Battle of Dogali. Depretis's successor, Prime Minister Francesco Crispi signed the Treaty of Wuchale in 1889 with Menelik II, the new emperor. This treaty ceded Ethiopian territory around Massawa to Italy to form the colony of Italian Eritrea, and \u2013 at least, according to the Italian version of the treaty \u2013 made Ethiopia an Italian protectorate. Relations between Italy and Menelik deteriorated over the next few years until the First Italo-Ethiopian War broke out in 1895, when Crispi ordered Italian troops into the country. Vastly outnumbered and poorly equipped, the result was a decisive defeat for Italy at the hands of Ethiopian forces at the Battle of Adwa in 1896. The Ethiopians were supported by Russian advisers and equipment, as well as by a unit of Russian volunteers. The death toll was 6,889, including 4,133 Italians.

Charlie was born in Alaska as the son of Ed Biederman, a musher born in Bohemia who immigrated to the United States in 1874 and also delivered the mail via dog sled. The date of Charlie's birth is unclear, but contemporary U.S. Censuses indicate it likely was around 1919. Charlie had four siblings. Charlie was raised in Eagle, Alaska, but lived in an isolated cabin on the Yukon River for most of his life. From an early age, he assisted his father and brother in their winter deliveries of the mail to isolated cabins in central Alaska. In winter, the family lived in Eagle and ran the mail route between that town and Circle, another small settlement approximately downriver. In the summer, the family lived at their Yukon River cabin, harvesting fish for subsistence and boarding the dogs of fellow mushers. In 1938, the family were underbid for the main contract for mail delivery in the area by a bush pilot. Ed Biederman retired shortly afterward and died in 1945. The final dog sled mail route was replaced in 1963. That final route was from Gambell to Savoonga and was run by Chester Noongwook. In January 1995, he donated the mail-delivery sled he used to the National Postal Museum in Washington, D.C., where it hangs today.

In the early 1910s, the National Park Service conceived of building a paved highway between Yellowstone National Park and Glacier National Park as a means of encouraging tourism in both parks. It helped establish \"citizens associations\" in both parks to lobby for state and federal funds for road construction. At first, the lack of a national transportation policy hindered these efforts. Later, World War I diverted funds and material to war use. In 1919, however, the first Geysers-to-Glaciers Highway opened. This two-lane highway followed what is now US 89 W from the Yellowstone border to Livingston, and then followed U.S. Route 191/Interstate 90 west through Bozeman to Three Forks. It then went north along what is now U.S. Route 287/Interstate 15 until it reached Exit 228, at which point it continued to follow the old Mullan Road route along U.S. Route 287 and Montana Highway 200 to Great Falls. From Great Falls, it continued north on what is now Interstate 15 to Shelby, then went west along current U.S. Route 2 from Shelby to Cut Bank. At that point, it went north along the Glacier National Park border, following current MT 213 from Cut Bank to the Canada\u2013U.S. border. In 1920, a shorter eastern route known as the Yellowstone-Glacier Beeline Highway opened. The \"Y-G Beeline\" continued to follow U.S. Route 89 from Livington, until it reached Great Falls. It rejoined the Geysers-to-Glaciers Highway thereafter.\n", "title": "Hardy Bridge", "pid": "p_363" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "In 1998, Elliott's team switched to No. 66", "indices": [ 679, 721 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "In 1998, Elliott's team switched to No. 66 ", "indices": [ 679, 722 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Nazareth Speedway was an auto racing facility near Nazareth in the Lehigh Valley region of Pennsylvania which operated from 1910 to 2004", "indices": [ 0, 136 ], "passage": "Nazareth Speedway" } ], "question_links": [ "Nazareth Speedway" ], "answer": { "answer_value": "88", "answer_unit": "years", "type": "value" }, "question": "How long had Nazareth Speedway been in operation for the year Elliot's team switch to No. 66?", "qid": "q_784" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 28, 32 ], "target": "1997 NASCAR Busch Series" }, { "indices": [ 105, 116 ], "target": "Phillips 66" }, { "indices": [ 201, 218 ], "target": "Nazareth Speedway" }, { "indices": [ 263, 275 ], "target": "Myrtle Beach Speedway" }, { "indices": [ 280, 287 ], "target": "World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway" }, { "indices": [ 411, 423 ], "target": "DeWalt" }, { "indices": [ 476, 482 ], "target": "Hermie Sadler" }, { "indices": [ 607, 631 ], "target": "Las Vegas Motor Speedway" }, { "indices": [ 682, 686 ], "target": "1998 NASCAR Busch Series" }, { "indices": [ 1078, 1098 ], "target": "Wood Brothers Racing" }, { "indices": [ 1129, 1133 ], "target": "1999 NASCAR Busch Series" }, { "indices": [ 1173, 1189 ], "target": "Joe Gibbs Racing" }, { "indices": [ 1210, 1222 ], "target": "Lance Inc." }, { "indices": [ 1233, 1244 ], "target": "Jeff Purvis" }, { "indices": [ 1370, 1384 ], "target": "Curtis Markham" }, { "indices": [ 1656, 1669 ], "target": "Kevin Harvick" }, { "indices": [ 1718, 1732 ], "target": "Dale Earnhardt" } ], "text": "Geared up for a full run in 1997, Diamond Ridge & Sadler went from unsponsored to receiving backing from Phillips 66.

He finished fifth in points that year. Diamond Ridge also expanded to a three car operation in 1997, purchasing the No. 1 DeWalt Tools team and fielding a car for Sadler's older brother, Hermie. Hermie had two poles and finished tenth in points in 1997. Diamond Ridge also fielded the No. 8 for Jeff Green, who won at Las Vegas Motor Speedway and ran fourteen races before he moved to Cup. In 1998, Elliott's team switched to No. 66 in order to accommodate their sponsor while Hermie moved into the No. 29. Hermie had a season virtually identical to 1997, posting two top-fives and having another tenth-place finish in the championship. Elliott scored three victories and finished eighth in points. Unfortunately, Elliott, who Diamond Ridge hoped would be their future in Cup, signed with Wood Brothers Racing. Still, hope was not lost. In 1999, Bechtel merged his Busch program with Joe Gibbs Racing, to field the No. 4 Lance Snacks Chevy for Jeff Purvis. While Purvis did not win that year, he had twelve top-ten finishes. The team fielded the No. 29 briefly as a second car for Curtis Markham, but sponsorship problems kept that from turning into a full-time ride. During the season, Bechtel eventually lost interest in the team, and sold the whole of the operation to Gibbs. Diamond Ridge Motorsports never returned to Cup as planned.

The cover portrays a dark-skinned Jesus in a stained glass window with a teardrop tattoo, a red bandanna around his mouth, and wearing a Jesus piece. The stained glass-inspired image shows Jesus sitting on a throne adorned with gang-related symbols. In the artwork, Jesus is holding a gold \"Jesus Piece\" chain and pointing to a symbol on his breast plate. The red bandana over his mouth is a reference to the Cedar Block Piru Bloods gang, to which Game is allegedly a member. The artwork has a slightly altered logo on the top, which features on all of Game's previous studio albums. The album's title Jesus Piece is stylized as Je5us Piece, depicting that it is Game's fifth studio album. Je5us Piece logo is styled after the iconic Louis Vuitton. The cover was designed by Mike Saputo. The religious imagery of the art has gained mixed reactions and the ire of some fans who deem the work as blasphemous. Several celebrities praised the artwork, including Busta Rhymes, Mac Miller and Kevin Hart. However, The Game decided to make this cover for the deluxe edition after the Roman Catholic Church complained to Interscope Records about the cover by phone call. Complex named the album cover the fifteenth best cover of 2012. On November 12, an alternative cover for the standard edition of the album was released. This cover paid homage to one of The Game's older brothers, Jevon Danell Taylor, who was shot and killed at the age of 20 on May 21, 1995.\n", "title": "Jesus Piece (album)", "pid": "p_371" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "the club's biggest Football League victory since a 6\u20130 win over Crewe Alexandra in December 1996.", "indices": [ 69, 166 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "The club was formed in 1877 and named after Princess Alexandra.", "indices": [ 532, 595 ], "passage": "Crewe Alexandra F.C." } ], "question_links": [ "Crewe Alexandra F.C." ], "answer": { "answer_value": "119", "answer_unit": "years", "type": "value" }, "question": "How long had Crewe Alexandra been a club when Luton Town F.C. defeated them 6-0?", "qid": "q_796" }, { "context": [ { "text": "the club's biggest Football League victory since a 6\u20130 win over Crewe Alexandra in December 1996.", "indices": [ 69, 166 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Gradi resigned in July 2007, with the club in League One.

The 11th REI defended the northern Inor Wood near Verdun from the German offensive early on in the battle until June 11, 1940 when the regiment began a fighting retreat to the south. By June 18, the 11th REI had lost three-fourths of its strength and the regiment withdrew to the south near Toul. The 12th REI was redeployed from its training center in Valbonne on May 11 to defend the Soissons where it arrived on May 24 and eventually began to fortify their positions. The 12 REI first experienced a form of combat for which they were unprepared when on June 5, the town of Soissons was the subject of German strafing from Stukas. By June 8, the 12th REI, in danger of being encircled, received orders to retreat to the south, however the orders did not come soon enough and parts of the 12th REI were surrounded at Soissons; the rest of the 12th REI made their way to Limoges by the signing of Second Armistice at Compi\u00e8gne on June 25, 1940. By the surrender of France the 12th REI had lost 2,500 of its number. The 21st Marching Regiment of Foreign Volunteers was deployed to the Maginot Line when the German offensive began, but was shifted to the north of Verdun by the end of May.

At the time of the armistice the 21st RMVE was at Nancy where it was disarmed by German forces. The 22nd Marching Regiment of the Foreign Volunteers left its training depot at Bacar\u00e8s on May 6 when it was deployed around Alsace.

The 1918 election gave Labour the most seats in the house to date. The electoral reforms also allowed women to run for Parliament. Specifically, the Parliament (Qualification of Women) Act 1918 gave women over 21 the right to stand for election as an MP. Christabel Pankhurst narrowly failed to win a seat in 1918, but in 1919 and 1920, both Lady Astor and Margaret Wintringham won seats for the Conservatives and Liberals respectively by succeeding their husband's seats. Labour swept to power in 1924. Constance Markievicz (Sinn F\u00e9in) was the first woman elected in Ireland in 1918, but as an Irish nationalist, refused to take her seat. Astor's proposal to form a women's party in 1929 was unsuccessful. Women gained considerable electoral experience over the next few years as a series of minority governments ensured almost annual elections, but there were 12 women in Parliament by 1940. Close affiliation with Labour also proved to be a problem for the National Union of Societies for Equal Citizenship (NUSEC), which had little support in the Conservative party.

He looked into the book and it said: \"September, 1965\". He went back to the studio and told the band what he found and their manager said that it would be great idea to celebrate 50th Anniversary since they are the only German band who is 50 years in music and one of the few in the world along with The Rolling Stones, The Who, Beach Boys and Pink Floyd. Manager suggested to the band that they contact the promoters and see if they are interested in band doing the 50th Anniversary Tour. Then Schenker suggested that if band is going to do a 50th Anniversary Tour, then band needs to release brand new studio album. So the band went again into the listening process of bonus track material that they have already prepare and see if they can improve something, like choruses and riffs. After that, they re-recorded the old stuff and started to write new songs with the producers Mikael Nord Andersson and Martin Hansen. The result was the album Return to Forever.\n", "title": "Return to Forever (Scorpions album)", "pid": "p_399" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "Between 1971 and 1974, work on the site was resumed by a team of the French Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS) directed by Jacques Cauvin.", "indices": [ 367, 522 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "French National Centre for Scientific Research", "Jacques Cauvin" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "How long did Cauvin stay as the director of the French team that excavated Mureybet?", "qid": "q_874" }, { "context": [ { "text": "effort to investigate as many archaeological sites as possible in the area that would be flooded by Lake Assad, the reservoir of the Tabqa Dam, which was being built at that time.", "indices": [ 615, 794 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "The dam was constructed between 1968 and 1973", "indices": [ 519, 564 ], "passage": "Tabqa Dam" } ], "question_links": [ "Tabqa Dam" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 574, "text": "1968 ", "passage": "tabqa dam", "end": 579 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "When did the construction of the dam that flooded Mureybet begin?", "qid": "q_875" }, { "context": [ { "text": "This material is currently stored at the National Museum of Aleppo and the Institute de Pr\u00e9histoire Orientale in Jal\u00e8s-Berrias in France.", "indices": [ 1030, 1167 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "The National Museum of Aleppo () is the largest museum in the city of Aleppo, Syria,", "indices": [ 0, 84 ], "passage": "National Museum of Aleppo" } ], "question_links": [ "National Museum of Aleppo" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 117, "text": "Syria", "passage": "national museum of aleppo", "end": 122 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "In which country is the material excavated from Mureybet stored?", "qid": "q_876" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 119, 140 ], "target": "Survey (archaeology)" }, { "indices": [ 194, 212 ], "target": "Oriental Institute (Chicago)" }, { "indices": [ 220, 241 ], "target": "University of Chicago" }, { "indices": [ 255, 263 ], "target": "Trial trenching" }, { "indices": [ 300, 310 ], "target": "Excavation (archaeology)" }, { "indices": [ 443, 487 ], "target": "French National Centre for Scientific Research" }, { "indices": [ 507, 521 ], "target": "Jacques Cauvin" }, { "indices": [ 594, 600 ], "target": "UNESCO" }, { "indices": [ 731, 740 ], "target": "Reservoir" }, { "indices": [ 748, 757 ], "target": "Tabqa Dam" }, { "indices": [ 1071, 1096 ], "target": "National Museum of Aleppo" } ], "text": "The first archaeological investigation of the site was carried out in 1964.

This skipper's caterpillars emerge in the spring and feed until June before forming shelters from leaves tied with silk at the base of the foodplant to pupate. Adults fly from July through August.

The story depicted the struggles of an atheist Hindu man who sued God after his shop is destroyed by an earthquake. Kumar appeared as Lord Krishna in the film. Sukanya Verma of Rediff.com appreciated the film for bringing \"attention to the misuse and commercialisation of religion\". Anupama Chopra praised Rawal's acting but felt that the rest character's were flimsy and film's \"intentions [were] good, but the preaching [was] boring\". The film received poor initial collection at the box office but because of word of mouth it picked up and proved to be a commercial success. The film was banned in Malaysia and the United Arab Emirates and faced protests in Punjab where several shows had to be cancelled. A police case was lodged against film's writer, director, Kumar and Rawal for hurting religious sentiments. Bhavesh Mandalia and Umesh Shukla won the National Film Award for Best Adapted Screenplay while Kumar received a nomination for Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor. OMG \u2013 Oh My God! has inspired a Telugu remake titled Gopala Gopala which featured Daggubati Venkatesh and Pawan Kalyan in important roles. It was directed by Kishore Kumar Pardasany.

After two successful years, The Screamers found themselves rapidly disintegrating as a band, causing Roessler to leave in January 1980, and would then go on to play in Nervous Gender with former Germs drummer Don Bolles as well as in Geza X and the Mommymen. After a few months of going between bands, he was recruited by Nina Hagen to join her for an upcoming European tour. After touring Europe and America with Hagen, they recorded Nunsexmonkrock. Before Roessler's second tour with Hagen, Pat Smear from the Germs joined the band. Later, when Smear left the band, Roessler left also. In 1981, he formed the band Twisted Roots with Smear and sister Kira Roessler. During this time, he was playing with 45 Grave, Josie Cotton, DC3 (with Dez Cadena of Black Flag) and Crimony (with Mike Watt) as well. Roessler was also doing sessions with many other bands such as the Dead Kennedys and Saccharine Trust. Roessler has continued to work with Nina Hagen and Josie Cotton.

At the end of the season, he was offered a well-paid contract in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL), but turned it down on the advice of Subiaco's coach, Peter German. During the 2005 season, Priddis won Subiaco's best and fairest award, the Tom Outridge Medal, as well as also winning the Simpson Medal as Western Australia's best player in the state game against Queensland.

Saddam Hussein considered the group as 'Iranians' and began a campaign to drive the settlers out of the area as a part of his 'Arabization' policy in 1980., Saddam Hussein was severely critical of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) as they aligned forces with Iran in the conflict.

The Chapter protested stating that the prerogative to visit the college \"belonged to the dean and chapter, and not to the dean alone.\" Cosyn backed down, and the visit was conducted by members of the chapter with the dean instead. Three years later, Cosyn and the Chapter came to a head over the appointment of the Vicar of St. Cuthbert's. The chapter favored a John Caveley, while Cosyn preferred a William Mors. The election became a lawsuit that dragged on for two years, and only ended when the Archbishop of Canterbury, William Warham arbitrated the case, and appointed Caveley as Vicar. The most significant dispute was over Cosyn's attempt to gain a Papal Dispensation that would allow him to receive the First Fruits of his position, without remaining resident for the required eight months each year. Cosyn first was granted permission by the King to petition Pope Leo X for a bull in November 1513. Cosyn had received a dispensation in 1509 to travel outside the Wells Cathedral and receive his First Fruits so long as he resided in the Roman Curia, one of his benefices or cures, or at a University to study. In 1513, Cosyn sought dispensation to receive his First Fruits, while being able to travel on the King's business. The Pope granted Cosyn's request in October, 1513.

Most significantly, the paper extensively covered the injustices on African Americans perpetrated by the Pullman Company and supported the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. Vann wrote to gain support for causes such as improved housing conditions in the Hill District, better education for black students, and equal employment and union opportunities. However, Vann often used his Courier editorials to publicly fight with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and W. E. B. Du Bois over issues such as President Calvin Coolidge's grants of clemency to black soldiers involved in the Houston Riot and Vann's allegations that James Weldon Johnson embezzled money for personal use from the NAACP and the Garland Fund. This disharmony was resolved in 1929 by published apologies by Vann, Du Bois, and Johnson, and within the decade, Du Bois became a regular Courier contributor. But in 1938, Vann's Courier ended up at odds with the NAACP once again. Vann, through national campaigns and contact with President Franklin D. Roosevelt pursued inclusion of African-American units in the United States Armed Forces. Vann saw this as an achievable step on the path to integration of the military, but the NAACP leadership, primarily Walter White, publicly disagreed with this half-measure, despite the protests of Thurgood Marshall. As a result of the Courier\u2032s influence and Vann's political clout, New York Congressman Fish successfully added an amendment prohibiting racial discrimination in selection and training of men drafted to the Selective Training and Service Act of 1940.\n", "title": "Robert Lee Vann", "pid": "p_464" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "In 1997, Compton signed up with a new team, Impact Motorsports, to run the No. 86 Ford F-150 for the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Rookie of the Year Award.

Cal then went on to lose five of its next six games, including losses to rivals UCLA, USC, Oregon, and a 13-point loss to arch-rival Stanford. But in a 54\u201324 win over the last place Oregon State Beavers, Cal gained a school-record of 760 yards, while becoming bowl-eligible for the first time since 2011. With a 48\u201346 win over Arizona State on Senior Day, Cal finished the regular season with a 7\u20135 record, clinching their first winning season since 2011. They finished the year 8\u20135 including a 55\u201336 victory over Air Force in the Armed Forces Bowl. Nevertheless, at 4-5 Cal finished with a losing Pac-12 the record for the third time in three years. That year was also the last year for quarterback Jared Goff, leaving as a junior he was the starting quarterback for three years, beginning the same year as Dykes' initial season. During those three seasons he set 26 team records. Taken by the Los Angeles Rams Goff was the first overall pick of the 2016 NFL Draft; he went on to lead the Rams to the 2019 Super Bowl.

The Air Force was skeptical of Bossart's proposal, partly wishing to preserve the priority of Strategic Bombers, but granted him a limited contract to develop a prototype. Bossart's major innovation was the use of a monocoque design in which structural support was maintained by pressure within the inelastic fuel tanks. After a series of tests in 1947 the Air Force lost interest and Bossart was instructed to abandon the research, but by 1951 the escalation of the Cold War enabled Bossart to revive the project that became known as 'Atlas'.

With West as chairman, and managing director Nally its driving force, the company would go on to redefine the sports business industry by pioneering the offering to 'blue chip' companies of exclusive, off-the-shelf packages of sponsorship rights to the world's largest sports tournaments on behalf of the world's leading sports federations. Early successes included securing investment to establish the Masters in snooker, the Squash World Open, and an annual one-day cricket competition which would run for three decades in the UK. In 1976, on brokering an agreement to sponsor the FIFA World Cup, the company assured its reputation as a leading innovator within the expanding sports marketing field. Employing over 400 staff in 14 offices across 11 countries in its heyday in the 1980s and 1990s, West Nally has served as partner to, among others, the International Olympic Committee, the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA), the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA), the Davis Cup and Federation Cup in tennis, the Hockey World Cup, the International Swimming Federation (FINA), the International Rowing Federation (FISA), the International Cycling Union (UCI) and the FIS World Ski Cup. The company helped secure the financial foundations of the first London Marathon, held in 1981, before playing an instrumental role in the inception of the International Association of Athletics Federations' Track and Field Program and in initiating the World Athletics Championships, first held in Helsinki in 1983. For the International Rugby Board (IRB), West Nally helped to commercially package and launch the Rugby World Cup, first held in 1987 in Australia and New Zealand. Known within the industry as the 'university of sports marketing' on account of its comprehensive training procedures responsible for cultivating a generation of leading sports business executives, the company's founder Patrick Nally was in 1988 described by Marketing magazine, along with Adidas owner Horst Dassler and IMG founder Mark McCormack, as one of the \"three godfathers of sport\" who at one time, between them, \"controlled the commercial destinies of almost every major sports event in the world\". Credited with first perceiving and harnessing sport's unique potential as a medium for global brand communication, Nally is today alternatively hailed as \"the 'Founding Father' of sports marketing\", \"the father of modern sports marketing\", \"the founding father of the sports business industry\", \"the godfather of sports sponsorship\" and the 'Dean' of the 'Sports Marketing University'. In 2009, his pioneer status within the industry was recognised with a nomination in the 'Outstanding Contribution' category at SportBusiness Magazine's annual Sports Event Management Awards.\n", "title": "Patrick Nally", "pid": "p_526" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "Reddy's departure in late 2015 and suspension and international selection for Paul Izzo", "indices": [ 628, 715 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Paul David Izzo (; born 6 January 1995) is an Australian professional football (soccer) player, who currently plays as a goalkeeper for Adelaide United in the A-League", "indices": [ 0, 167 ], "passage": "Paul Izzo" } ], "question_links": [ "Paul Izzo" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 144, "text": "goalkeeper ", "passage": "paul izzo", "end": 155 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "What position did Paul Izzo play?", "qid": "q_1176" }, { "context": [ { "text": "For the 2014 National Premier Leagues season, Pearce moved to Broadmeadow Magic", "indices": [ 232, 311 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Broadmeadow Magic Football Club is a soccer club based in Broadmeadow a suburb of Newcastle, Australia.", "indices": [ 0, 103 ], "passage": "Broadmeadow Magic FC" } ], "question_links": [ "Broadmeadow Magic FC" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 92, "text": "Broadmeadow a suburb of Newcastle, Australia", "passage": "broadmeadow magic fc", "end": 136 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "What is the home town for the Magic?", "qid": "q_1177" }, { "context": [ { "text": "Pearce's first experience of senior football came in the Northern NSW State League Division 1, for Newcastle Jets youth,", "indices": [ 0, 120 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "The league originally started with 12 teams, all with a first grade, reserve grade and youth grade team.

Certain agricultural practices can deplete soil of carbon, such as monoculture, failing to rotate crops sufficiently, and intensive livestock grazing. Soil that is low in carbon will not support plant life and is susceptible to desertification. Without plants, soil cannot hold water sufficiently, and will become dry and brittle over time. Agroecology is an overarching category of approaches to creating a more sustainable agricultural system and increase the health of soil. It includes \"permaculture\", originally being a combination of the words \"permanent\" and \"agriculture\", which is a systems thinking approach that can increase the carbon content of soil by using natural patterns in already existing ecosystems to promote a higher efficiency of food production, a lower need for human involvement, and a healthier ecosystem. Permaculture focuses on using the land and a strong knowledge of plants, animals and natural cycles to create ecosystems that yield plentiful produce and help keep themselves healthy and productive. This can be done through intentional landscaping that would utilize as much rainfall as possible or placing nitrogen fixing plants near another crop that might need them. Agroecology also includes the ideas of holistic management.

He appeared in The Tom and Jerry Show episode \"The Lost Duckling\" (1975). He also got his own series of shorts on The Yogi Bear Show (renamed Yakky Doodle) after guesting in several Hanna-Barbera TV shows.

He soon became the inker on Tales of the Legion of Super-Heroes - so soon, in fact, that he suspected that he was assigned New Talent Showcase #8 as a test run to see how well he gelled with Tales of the Legion penciller Terry Shoemaker. Kesel was discouraged that inks which looked smooth and clear on his original pages appeared clunky in the printed comics, and with some guidance from Dick Giordano he studied how to draw in a way that would appear better on the printed page. Kesel worked on the lighthearted 'Mazing Man series, as well as providing inks over the pencils of George P\u00e9rez on History of the DC Universe and John Byrne on Legends and Superman vol. 2. With his then-wife Barbara Kesel, he co-wrote a Hawk and Dove miniseries in 1988 which was drawn by Rob Liefeld. Kesel and artist Tom Grummett are the creators of the modern Superboy character, Kon-El, who debuted in the \"Reign of the Supermen\" story arc, starting from The Adventures of Superman #500 (June 1993). An ongoing Superboy series was launched by Kesel and Grummett in February 1994. In 1996, Kesel and artist Stuart Immonen produced The Final Night limited series. That same year, Kesel was one of the many creators who contributed to the one-shot wherein the title character married Lois Lane. Kesel wrote the Batman and Superman: World's Finest ten-issue limited series (April 1999\u2013Jan. 2000) which explored the Post-Crisis history of the two with each of the ten issues taking place one year after the other.

A further 66 Turkish Cypriots arrived in Australia in the late 1940s, marking the beginning of a Turkish Cypriot immigration trend to Australia. By 1947-1956 there were 350 Turkish Cypriot settlers who were living in Australia. Between 1955-1960, the Turkish Cypriots felt vulnerable in Cyprus as they had cause for concern about the political future of the island when the Greek Cypriots attempted to overthrow the British government and unite Cyprus with Greece (known as \"enosis\"). After a failed attempt by the Greek Cypriots, the right-wing party, EOKA, reformed itself from 1963\u20131974 and launched a series of attacks. This resulted in the exodus of more Turkish Cypriots to Australia in fear for their lives. Early Turkish Cypriot immigrants to Australia found jobs working in factories, out in the fields, or building national infrastructure. Some Turkish Cypriots also became entrepreneurs and established their own businesses once they had saved enough money. By 1974, an exodus of more Turkish Cypriots to Australia occurred due to fears that the island would unite with Greece when the Greek military junta staged a coup d'\u00e9tat against the Cypriot President, with the help of EOKA B.

Once activated, norepinephrine and epinephrine are released directly into the blood by postganglionic nerve fibers where they act as the bodily mechanism for \"fight-or-flight\" responses. Because of this, the sympathoadrenal system plays a large role in maintaining glucose levels, sodium levels, blood pressure, and various other metabolic pathways that couple with bodily responses to the environment. During numerous diseased states, such as hypoglycemia or even stress, the body's metabolic processes are skewed. The sympathoadrenal system works to return the body to homeostasis through the activation or inactivation of the adrenal gland. However, more severe disorders of the sympathoadrenal system such as phaeochromocytoma (a tumor on the adrenal medulla) can affect the body's ability to maintain a homeostatic state.

The title was also used in 2019 for a limited series as part of the \"War of the Realms\" storyline.\n", "title": "Journey into Mystery", "pid": "p_582" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "In 1987, Townsend wrote, directed and produced Hollywood Shuffle", "indices": [ 0, 64 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Donald Cortez Cornelius (September 27, 1936 \u2013 February 1, 2012)", "indices": [ 0, 63 ], "passage": "Don Cornelius" } ], "question_links": [ "Don Cornelius" ], "answer": { "answer_value": "yes", "type": "binary" }, "question": "Was Don Cornelius alive at the time Townsend wrote Hollywood Shuffle?", "qid": "q_1317" }, { "context": [ { "text": "the Black Family Channel, but the network folded in 2007", "indices": [ 877, 933 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Fox Broadcasting Company" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "What was Fox Television's most watched show the year that Black Family Channel folded?", "qid": "q_1318" }, { "context": [ { "text": "Black Family Channel, but the network folded in 2007.", "indices": [ 881, 934 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Fox Broadcasting Company", "The WB" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "Was WB Network more popular than Fox Television the year Black Family Channel folded?", "qid": "q_1319" }, { "context": [ { "text": "In 1987, Townsend wrote, directed and produced Hollywood Shuffle,", "indices": [ 0, 65 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Another of his films was The Five Heartbeats", "indices": [ 239, 283 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Hollywood Shuffle", "The Five Heartbeats" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "Which of Townsend's films made more at the box office - Hollywood Shuffle or The Five Heartbeats?", "qid": "q_1320" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 47, 64 ], "target": "Hollywood Shuffle" }, { "indices": [ 264, 283 ], "target": "The Five Heartbeats" }, { "indices": [ 343, 357 ], "target": "Music industry" }, { "indices": [ 404, 417 ], "target": "Variety show" }, { "indices": [ 422, 436 ], "target": "CableACE Award" }, { "indices": [ 491, 494 ], "target": "HBO" }, { "indices": [ 504, 518 ], "target": "Fox Broadcasting Company" }, { "indices": [ 532, 551 ], "target": "Townsend Television" }, { "indices": [ 595, 605 ], "target": "The WB" }, { "indices": [ 608, 614 ], "target": "Sitcom" }, { "indices": [ 615, 631 ], "target": "The Parent 'Hood" }, { "indices": [ 750, 763 ], "target": "American Soul" }, { "indices": [ 810, 823 ], "target": "Don Cornelius" }, { "indices": [ 828, 838 ], "target": "Soul Train" }, { "indices": [ 881, 901 ], "target": "Black Family Channel" }, { "indices": [ 986, 1008 ], "target": "Nonprofit organization" } ], "text": "In 1987, Townsend wrote, directed and produced Hollywood Shuffle, a satire based on the hardships and obstacles that black actors undergo in the film industry.

Film criticism began with early film magazines such as Katsud\u014d shashinkai (begun in 1909) and a full-length book written by Yasunosuke Gonda in 1914, but many early film critics often focused on chastising the work of studios like Nikkatsu and Tenkatsu for being too theatrical (using, for instance, elements from kabuki and shinpa such as onnagata) and for not utilizing what were considered more cinematic techniques to tell stories, instead relying on benshi. In what was later named the Pure Film Movement, writers in magazines such as Kinema Record called for a broader use of such cinematic techniques. Some of these critics, such as Norimasa Kaeriyama, went on to put their ideas into practice by directing such films as The Glow of Life (1918), which was one of the first films to use actresses (in this case, Harumi Hanayagi). There were parallel efforts elsewhere in the film industry. In his 1917 film The Captain's Daughter, Masao Inoue started using techniques new to the silent film era, such as the close-up and cut back.

For the era, this was an historically overwhelming victory for a Democratic presidential candidate in the five boroughs of New York City, and enough to easily secure a statewide win for Roosevelt. The emergence of the New Deal Coalition was at its peak in 1936, and made American cities with their powerful political machines core bases of support for the Democratic Party. The Great Depression had accelerated the process of urbanization of the Democratic Party which had begun with the election of 1928. Roosevelt\u2019s landslide win in New York City was a fruit born by this process, and over the whole nation he achieved majorities in the largest cities totalling twice what Harding had achieved in 1920. 1936 was the third election in a row in which Democrats had won all five boroughs of NYC, following 1928 and 1932. After 1936, New York City would remain Democratic overall in every election that has followed, although no presidential candidate would sweep all five boroughs of NYC again until Lyndon Johnson in 1964.

Radford, Commander-in-Chief of the United States Pacific Fleet, envisioned an naval base in the Western Pacific to enhance Seventh Fleet capabilities. The Korean War began and the Navy realized it had a need for an air station in the region. Cubi Point in the Philippines was selected, and civilian contractors were initially approached for the project. After seeing the Zambales Mountains and the surrounding jungle, they claimed it could not be done. The U.S. Navy then turned to the Seabees and was told no problem, Can do. The first Seabees to arrive were surveyors of Construction Battalion Detachment 1802. Moblie Comstruction Battalion 3 arrived on 2 October 1951 to get the project going and was joined by MCB 5 in November. Over the next five years, MCBs 2, 7, 9, 11 and CBD 1803 also contributed to the effort. They leveled a mountain to make way for a nearly runway. NAS Cubi Point turned out to be one of the largest earth-moving projects in the world, equivalent to the construction of the Panama Canal. Seabees there moved of dry fill plus another 15 million that was hydraulic fill. The $100\u00a0million facility was commissioned on 25 July 1956, and comprised an air station with an adjacent pier capable of docking the Navy's largest carriers. Adjusted-for-inflation, today's price-tag for what the Seabees built at Cubi Point would be $906,871,323.53. After decades of use by American forces, Mount Pinatubo erupted in 1991, burying Cubi Point in 18-36 inches of ash. Despite this, the American government wished to keep the Subic Naval Base and signed a treaty with the Philippine government. The treaty was not ratified, however, failing by a slim margin in the Philippine Senate. Attempts to negotiate a new treaty were soon abandoned and the United States was informed that it was to withdraw within one year. U.S. forces withdrew in November 1992, turning over the facility with its airport to the Philippine government.\n", "title": "Subic Bay International Airport", "pid": "p_615" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "Zabica started his career with Cockburn City before joining Adelaide City for seven seasons, winning National Soccer League championships in 1992 and 1994.", "indices": [ 0, 155 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Adelaide City FC", "Cockburn City SC" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "Was Zabica with Cockburn City or Adelaide City longer?", "qid": "q_1409" }, { "context": [ { "text": "He played for Australia in the qualifiers for the 1994 FIFA World Cup finals, losing narrowly to Argentina.", "indices": [ 156, 263 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "1994 FIFA World Cup" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "By how many points did Zabica's team lose to Argentina in the 1994 FIFA World Cup Finals?", "qid": "q_1410" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 31, 44 ], "target": "Cockburn City SC" }, { "indices": [ 60, 73 ], "target": "Adelaide City FC" }, { "indices": [ 101, 123 ], "target": "National Soccer League" }, { "indices": [ 170, 179 ], "target": "Australia national soccer team" }, { "indices": [ 206, 225 ], "target": "1994 FIFA World Cup" }, { "indices": [ 253, 262 ], "target": "Argentina" }, { "indices": [ 478, 493 ], "target": "West Ham United F.C." }, { "indices": [ 642, 653 ], "target": "Perth Glory FC" }, { "indices": [ 739, 752 ], "target": "Bradford City A.F.C." }, { "indices": [ 782, 787 ], "target": "Perth" }, { "indices": [ 800, 817 ], "target": "Bayswater City SC" }, { "indices": [ 819, 835 ], "target": "Inglewood United FC" }, { "indices": [ 840, 854 ], "target": "Fremantle Spirit SC" } ], "text": "Zabica started his career with Cockburn City before joining Adelaide City for seven seasons, winning National Soccer League championships in 1992 and 1994.

His son was the notable William Pugh, an entrepreneur, who did much to develop trade and infrastructure in the Montgomeryshire Severn valley. He paid for the final extension of the Montgomery Canal from Berriew to Newtown, and for various road building schemes including a road from Abermule along the Mule valley. In Newtown he encouraged the growth of the textile industry and was responsible for the Flannel exchange, designed by Thomas Penson. In 1828 he sold the Caer Howell estate, using the proceeds to develop Brynllywarch. For this work he may have employed T G Newnham and J W Poundley as his architects and surveyors. His schemes were over ambitious and in June 1835 he fled to Caen in Normandy to escape his creditors. This resulted in the Brynllywarch and Cilthriew estates, which then consisted of 27 farms, being sold in 1839 to Richard Leyland (Bullin), a very wealthy banker from Liverpool. Leyland was to give these estates, together with the Leighton Hall Estates to his nephew John Naylor in 1846. The very detailed survey of the estates purchased by Leyland and later John Naylor, drawn up by J W Poundley, is now in the National Library of Wales. John Naylor died on13th July 1889 and the estates continued in the Naylor family ownership until about 1930, when the various farms including Cilthriew were sold.\n", "title": "Cilthriew, Kerry (Montgomeryshire)", "pid": "p_622" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "accepted the offer of a chair of philosophy at the Academy of Sedan,", "indices": [ 273, 341 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "The Academy of Sedan (Fr.: Acad\u00e9mie de Sedan) was a Huguenot academy in Sedan in the Principality of Sedan", "indices": [ 0, 106 ], "passage": "Academy of Sedan" } ], "question_links": [ "Academy of Sedan" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 131, "text": "Sedan", "passage": "academy of sedan", "end": 136 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "In what country did Cameron accept a chair of philosophy?", "qid": "q_1425" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 20, 27 ], "target": "Glasgow" }, { "indices": [ 101, 106 ], "target": "Greek language" }, { "indices": [ 114, 124 ], "target": "University" }, { "indices": [ 158, 166 ], "target": "Bordeaux" }, { "indices": [ 306, 316 ], "target": "Philosophy" }, { "indices": [ 324, 340 ], "target": "Academy of Sedan" }, { "indices": [ 468, 476 ], "target": "Divinity" }, { "indices": [ 520, 526 ], "target": "Protestantism" }, { "indices": [ 615, 625 ], "target": "Protestantism" }, { "indices": [ 626, 634 ], "target": "Seminary" }, { "indices": [ 710, 717 ], "target": "Navarre" }, { "indices": [ 742, 747 ], "target": "Paris" }, { "indices": [ 760, 766 ], "target": "Geneva" }, { "indices": [ 791, 801 ], "target": "Heidelberg" }, { "indices": [ 1071, 1087 ], "target": "Gilbert Primrose (minister)" }, { "indices": [ 1098, 1113 ], "target": "Franciscus Gomarus" }, { "indices": [ 1129, 1135 ], "target": "Leiden" }, { "indices": [ 1198, 1215 ], "target": "Academy of Saumur" } ], "text": "Cameron was born at Glasgow and received his early education in his native city.

Felix provided his own palace for the murder spot and also shot Rasputin once before murdering him with the help of his accomplices. Mikhail had a sister called Elena and a brother Nicholas.

The presence of Bulgarian customs officers at the Carpathians indicates a Bulgarian suzerainty over those lands, though Radu's imperative tone hints at a strong and increasing Wallachian autonomy. Under Radu I and his successor Dan I, the realms in Transylvania and Severin continued to be disputed with Hungary. Basarab was succeeded by Nicholas Alexander, followed by Vladislav I. Vladislav attacked Transylvania after Louis I occupied lands south of the Danube, conceded to recognize him as overlord in 1368, but rebelled again in the same year; his rule also witnessed the first confrontation between Wallachia and the Ottoman Empire (a battle in which Vladislav was allied with Ivan Shishman). After the Magyar conquest (10-11th century), Transylvania had become an autonomous and multi-ethnic voivodeship led by a voivode appointed by the King of Hungary until the 16th century. Several Kings of Hungary invited settlers from Central and Western Europe, such as the Saxons, to come to Transylvania and occupy the region. The Szeklers were brought to southeastern Transylvania as border guards. Romanians are mentioned by the Hungarian documents (township called Olahteluk) in the 13th century (1283) in Bihar County. The \"land of Romanians\" (Terram Blacorum) appeared in Fogaras, and this area was mentioned under the name \"Olachi\" in 1285. After the collapse of the Hungarian Kingdom (following the disastrous Battle of Moh\u00e1cs, 1526) the region became the independent Principality of Transylvania until 1711.\n", "title": "History of Romania", "pid": "p_658" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "She was featured on song titled \"Funky Gripsta\" off of his 1993 album release Home Invasion", "indices": [ 135, 226 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Home Invasion is the fifth studio album by American rapper Ice-T, released on March 23, 1993, via /Priority Records.", "indices": [ 0, 116 ], "passage": "Home Invasion (album)" } ], "question_links": [ "Home Invasion (album)" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 134, "text": "Priority Records", "passage": "home invasion (album)", "end": 150 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "Which record label released the Ice-T album where Gripsta was featured on a song?", "qid": "q_1505" }, { "context": [ { "text": "She was featured on song titled \"Funky Gripsta\" off of his 1993 album release Home Invasion", "indices": [ 135, 226 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "She was later featured on The Seventh Deadly Sin, Ice-T's 7th album", "indices": [ 539, 606 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Home Invasion (album)", "The Seventh Deadly Sin" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "Which Ice-T album that Gripsta featured in sold more copies?", "qid": "q_1506" }, { "context": [ { "text": "Other acting credits include a guest star appearance in the \"Leaving the Life\" episode of the CBS television show Promised Land, a semi popular spin-off of CBS more successful show Touched by an Angel.", "indices": [ 996, 1197 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Promised Land (TV series)" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "How many episodes did the spin-off tv show to Touched by an Angel where Gripsta made a guest appearance have?", "qid": "q_1507" }, { "context": [ { "text": "Other acting credits include a guest star appearance in the \"Leaving the Life\" episode of the CBS television show Promised Land, a semi popular spin-off of CBS more successful show Touched by an Angel.", "indices": [ 996, 1197 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "September 21, 1994, and ran for 211 episodes and nine seasons until its conclusion on April 27, 2003.", "indices": [ 92, 193 ], "passage": "Touched by an Angel" }, { "text": "which aired on CBS from September 17, 1996 to May 20, 1999.", "indices": [ 61, 120 ], "passage": "Promised Land (TV series)" } ], "question_links": [ "Promised Land (TV series)", "Touched by an Angel" ], "answer": { "answer_value": "yes", "type": "binary" }, "question": "Was Touched by an Angel still running when its spin-off show started?", "qid": "q_1508" }, { "context": [ { "text": "Gripsta was also featured in a principal role in the movie Dangerous Minds in which she played one of the many troubled teens that actress Michelle Pfeiffer sought to reform.", "indices": [ 821, 995 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Dangerous Minds is a 1995 American drama film directed by John N.

During a 2002 playoff game between the Charlotte Hornets and Orlando Magic, Fryer and his officiating crew disallowed a field goal made by the Hornets Baron Davis. Davis received an inbound pass with 0.7 seconds remaining and successfully made the shot before the buzzer sounded. This incident led Commissioner David Stern to consider the use of instant replay in NBA games. Considered one of the top-rated referees in the league, he retired in 2007 following Game 3 of the 2007 NBA Finals having officiated 1,806 NBA games.

In the five years Schultz owned the SuperSonics, the team suffered heavy financial losses, which led Schultz to seek funding from the Washington State Legislature for a newer, more modern arena in the Puget Sound region as a replacement for KeyArena at Seattle Center. On July 18, 2006, the Basketball Club of Seattle, led by Schultz, sold the SuperSonics and its sister team, the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA)'s Seattle Storm, after failing to reach an agreement with the city of Seattle over a publicly funded $220 million expansion of KeyArena. KeyArena was remodeled in 1995 and was the NBA's smallest venue, with a seating capacity of 17,072. After failing to find a local ownership group to sell the team to, Schultz talked to ownership groups from Kansas City, St. Louis, Las Vegas, San Jose and Anaheim before agreeing to sell the team to an ownership group from Oklahoma City, which pursued an NBA franchise after hosting the New Orleans Hornets franchise successfully for two seasons as the city of New Orleans rebuilt from Hurricane Katrina. The sale to Clay Bennett's ownership group for $350 million was approved by NBA owners on October 24, 2006. Terms of the sale required the new ownership group to \"use good faith best efforts\" for a term of 12 months in securing a new arena lease or venue in the Seattle metropolitan area. Further complicating matters, the voters of Seattle passed Initiative 91, a measure that virtually prohibited the use of public money on sporting arenas.

Due to the collapse of the Solidarity movement's political wing, the 1991 election saw deep political fragmentation, with a multitude of new parties and alliances emerging in its wake. Low voting thresholds within individual constituencies, along with a five percent national threshold allocated to a small portion of the Sejm, additionally contributed to party fragmentation. As a result, 29 political parties gained entry into the Sejm and 22 in the Senate, with no party holding a decisive majority. Two months of intense coalition negotiations followed, with Jan Olszewski of the Centre Agreement forming a minority government along with the Christian National Union, remnants of the broader Center Civic Alliance, and the Peasants' Agreement, with conditional support from Polish People's Party, Solidarity and other minor parties.\n", "title": "1991 Polish parliamentary election", "pid": "p_682" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "career as a second baseman in at the age of 18 with the Eau Claire Bears of the Northern League.", "indices": [ 73, 169 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Northern League (baseball, 1902\u201371)", "Eau Claire Bears" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "How long were the Bears in the Northern League?", "qid": "q_1561" }, { "context": [ { "text": "Born in Staten Island, New York, Majeski began his professional baseball career as a second baseman in at the age of 18 with the Eau Claire Bears of the Northern League.", "indices": [ 0, 169 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Northern League (baseball, 1902\u201371)" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "How many teams were in the Northern League?", "qid": "q_1562" }, { "context": [ { "text": "brought him to the attention of the Chicago Cubs who signed him to a contract and sent him to play for their Minor League", "indices": [ 322, 443 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "The Cubs compete in Major League Baseball (MLB) ", "indices": [ 88, 136 ], "passage": "Chicago Cubs" } ], "question_links": [ "Minor League Baseball", "Chicago Cubs" ], "answer": { "answer_value": "no", "type": "binary" }, "question": "Were the Chicago Cubs only in the Minor League?", "qid": "q_1563" }, { "context": [ { "text": "He was traded to the Birmingham Barons of the Southern Association in where he hit for a .325 average.", "indices": [ 610, 712 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "The Southern Association was a higher-level minor league in American organized baseball from 1901 through 1961", "indices": [ 0, 110 ], "passage": "Southern Association" } ], "question_links": [ "Southern Association" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 127, "text": "1901 ", "passage": "southern association", "end": 132 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "What year was the Southern Association founded?", "qid": "q_1564" }, { "context": [ { "text": "He was traded to the Birmingham Barons of the Southern Association in where he hit for a .325 average.", "indices": [ 610, 712 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Southern Association" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "Who is the president of the Southern Association?", "qid": "q_1565" }, { "context": [ { "text": "Born in Staten Island, New York", "indices": [ 0, 31 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Staten Island () is a borough of New York City, coterminous with Richmond County", "indices": [ 0, 80 ], "passage": "Staten Island" } ], "question_links": [ "Staten Island" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 92, "text": "Richmond County", "passage": "staten island", "end": 107 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "What New York county was Majeski born in?", "qid": "q_1566" }, { "context": [ { "text": "Majeski began his professional baseball career as a second baseman in at the age of 18 with the Eau Claire Bears", "indices": [ 33, 145 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "The Eau Claire Bears was the primary nickname of the minor league baseball teams from Eau Claire, Wisconsin.", "indices": [ 0, 108 ], "passage": "Eau Claire Bears" } ], "question_links": [ "Eau Claire Bears" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 128, "text": "Wisconsin", "passage": "eau claire bears", "end": 137 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "What state did Majeski begin his professional career in at the age of 18?", "qid": "q_1567" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 8, 31 ], "target": "Staten Island" }, { "indices": [ 51, 72 ], "target": "Professional baseball" }, { "indices": [ 85, 99 ], "target": "Second baseman" }, { "indices": [ 129, 145 ], "target": "Eau Claire Bears" }, { "indices": [ 153, 168 ], "target": "Northern League (baseball, 1902\u201371)" }, { "indices": [ 223, 238 ], "target": "Batting average (baseball)" }, { "indices": [ 358, 370 ], "target": "Chicago Cubs" }, { "indices": [ 431, 443 ], "target": "Minor League Baseball" }, { "indices": [ 459, 474 ], "target": "Moline Plowboys" }, { "indices": [ 482, 496 ], "target": "Illinois\u2013Indiana\u2013Iowa League" }, { "indices": [ 631, 648 ], "target": "Birmingham Barons" }, { "indices": [ 656, 676 ], "target": "Southern Association" } ], "text": "Born in Staten Island, New York, Majeski began his professional baseball career as a second baseman in at the age of 18 with the Eau Claire Bears of the Northern League.

He appears to have belonged to the well-attested Pontii family, but nothing is known for certain about his life before he became governor of Judaea, nor of the circumstances that led to his appointment to the governorship. A single inscription from Pilate's governorship has survived, the so-called Pilate stone, as have coins that he minted. The Jewish historian Josephus and philosopher Philo of Alexandria both mention incidents of tension and violence between the Jewish population and Pilate's administration. Many of these involve Pilate acting in ways that offended the religious sensibilities of the Jews. The Christian Gospels record that Pilate ordered the crucifixion of Jesus at some point during his time in office; Josephus and the Roman historian Tacitus also appear to have recorded this information. According to Josephus, Pilate's removal from office occurred because he violently suppressed an armed Samaritan movement at Mount Gerizim. He was sent back to Rome by the legate of Syria to answer for this before Tiberius, who, however, had died before he arrived. Nothing is known for certain about what happened to him after this. On the basis of a mention in the second-century pagan philosopher Celsus and Christian apologist Origen, most modern historians believe that Pilate simply retired after his dismissal. Modern historians have differing assessments of Pilate as an effective ruler; while some believe he was a particularly brutal and ineffective governor, others argue that his long time in office means he must have been reasonably competent. According to one prominent post-war theory, Pilate was motivated by antisemitism in his treatment of the Jews, but this theory has been mostly abandoned.\n", "title": "Pontius Pilate", "pid": "p_687" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "In November 1850, United States Army Captain Samuel P.

The column, thinned by desertions of soldiers to the goldfields, left San Diego on October 3, 1850 with about 100 men of the 2nd Infantry while a fourth company marched to build a post with a warehouse at Vallecitos, as a supply depot for the Yuma post.

American forces included ninety-two enlisted men, two officers and a medical officer for the hospital.

Often working in darkness, the band recorded many hours of improvised performances which were heavily edited and re-arranged into the final album.\n", "title": "Laughing Stock", "pid": "p_693" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "During the rest of the 1940s, he was in the bands of George Evans and Oscar Rabin.", "indices": [ 288, 370 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": " together with fellow saxophonist Harry Hayes he joined Geraldo and between 1938 and 1942", "indices": [ 678, 767 ], "passage": "George Evans (bandleader)" }, { "text": "members of Evans\u2019 bands include Jimmy Staples, Don Rendell, Charles Chapman, Gracie Cole, Tony Symes, Jackie Sprague, Bill Geldard, Jock Cummings, Jack Parnell, Pat Dodd, Jack Llewellyn, Kenny Baker, Billy Riddick, Cliff Haines, Izzy Duman, Bill Apps, Eric Jupp, Malcolm Mitchell, Don Raine, Dougie Cooper, Arthur Greenslade, Ricky Derges, Ted Hunt, Bill Jackson, Graham Smith, Frank Pritchard, Hank Shaw, Arthur Mowatt, Ray Chester, Don Fairly, Eddy Shearer, Ray Harley, Gordon Marshall, David Barnes, and Denis Shirley, Charlie Payne, Frank Rogers, Roy Ringrose, Freddie Syer, Ronnie Chandler, Erik Maxwell, Dennis Hughes, Syd Dowel, Kenny Kaye, Jimmy Paul and Shirley Gray on vocals.", "indices": [ 2934, 3620 ], "passage": "George Evans (bandleader)" } ], "question_links": [ "George Evans (bandleader)" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 751, "text": "Harry Hayes", "passage": "george evans (bandleader)", "end": 762 }, { "start": 3004, "text": " Jimmy Staples, Don Rendell, Charles Chapman, Gracie Cole, Tony Symes, Jackie Sprague, Bill Geldard, Jock Cummings, Jack Parnell, Pat Dodd, Jack Llewellyn, Kenny Baker, Billy Riddick, Cliff Haines, Izzy Duman, Bill Apps, Eric Jupp, Malcolm Mitchell, Don Raine, Dougie Cooper, Arthur Greenslade, Ricky Derges, Ted Hunt, Bill Jackson, Graham Smith, Frank Pritchard, Hank Shaw, Arthur Mowatt, Ray Chester, Don Fairly, Eddy Shearer, Ray Harley, Gordon Marshall, David Barnes, and Denis Shirley, Charlie Payne, Frank Rogers, Roy Ringrose, Freddie Syer, Ronnie Chandler, Erik Maxwell, Dennis Hughes, Syd Dowel, Kenny Kaye, Jimmy Paul and Shirley Gray", "passage": "george evans (bandleader)", "end": 3648 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "Who else played with Don Rendell in the band of George Evans?", "qid": "q_1591" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 146, 160 ], "target": "Barclays" }, { "indices": [ 341, 353 ], "target": "George Evans (bandleader)" }, { "indices": [ 358, 369 ], "target": "Oscar Rabin" }, { "indices": [ 430, 446 ], "target": "John Dankworth" }, { "indices": [ 466, 480 ], "target": "Billie Holiday" }, { "indices": [ 536, 548 ], "target": "Tony Crombie" }, { "indices": [ 553, 562 ], "target": "Edward Heath" }, { "indices": [ 593, 604 ], "target": "Stan Kenton" }, { "indices": [ 631, 642 ], "target": "Tony Kinsey" }, { "indices": [ 663, 675 ], "target": "Woody Herman" }, { "indices": [ 778, 786 ], "target": "Ian Carr" }, { "indices": [ 820, 836 ], "target": "Barbara Thompson (musician)" }, { "indices": [ 994, 1010 ], "target": "Jazz \u00e0 Juan" }, { "indices": [ 1085, 1097 ], "target": "Melody Maker" }, { "indices": [ 1186, 1201 ], "target": "Michael Garrick" }, { "indices": [ 1207, 1222 ], "target": "Brian Priestley" } ], "text": "Rendell had begun to play the piano aged five, but switched to saxophone in his teens.

For example, Roger Williams found it necessary to found a new colony in Rhode Island to escape persecution in the theocratically dominated colony of Massachusetts. The Puritans of the Massachusetts Bay Colony were the most active of the New England persecutors of Quakers, and the persecuting spirit was shared by Plymouth Colony and the colonies along the Connecticut river. In 1660, one of the most notable victims of the religious intolerance was English Quaker Mary Dyer, who was hanged in Boston, Massachusetts for repeatedly defying a Puritan law banning Quakers from the colony. As one of the four executed Quakers known as the Boston martyrs, the hanging of Dyer on the Boston gallows marked the beginning of the end of the Puritan theocracy and New England independence from English rule, and in 1661 King Charles II explicitly forbade Massachusetts from executing anyone for professing Quakerism. Anti-Catholic sentiment appeared in New England with the first Pilgrim and Puritan settlers. In 1647, Massachusetts passed a law prohibiting any Jesuit Roman Catholic priests from entering territory under Puritan jurisdiction. Any suspected person who could not clear himself was to be banished from the colony; a second offense carried a death penalty. The Pilgrims of New England held radical Protestant disapproval of Christmas. Christmas observance was outlawed in Boston in 1659. The ban by the Puritans was revoked in 1681 by an English appointed governor, however it was not until the mid-19th century that celebrating Christmas became common in the Boston region.\n", "title": "Freedom of religion", "pid": "p_695" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "The city is home of the International Balloon Fiesta, the world's largest gathering of hot-air balloons, taking place every October.", "indices": [ 0, 132 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "The Balloon Fiesta began in 1972 ", "indices": [ 385, 418 ], "passage": "Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta" } ], "question_links": [ "Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta" ], "answer": { "answer_value": "48", "answer_unit": "years", "type": "value" }, "question": "How long has the annual event that takes place in October been going on?", "qid": "q_1594" }, { "context": [ { "text": "The New Mexico State Fair and Gathering of Nations are held annually at Expo New Mexico", "indices": [ 133, 220 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "New Mexico State Fair", "Gathering of Nations" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "Which of the annual events that take place at Expo New Mexico gets more visitors?", "qid": "q_1595" }, { "context": [ { "text": "Likewise, the city is home to a diverse restaurant scene from various global cuisines and the state\u2019s distinct New Mexican cuisine.", "indices": [ 879, 1010 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "New Mexican cuisine is the cuisine of the Southwestern US state of New Mexico, the region is primarily known for its fusion of Pueblo Native American with Hispano Spanish and Mexican cuisine ", "indices": [ 0, 191 ], "passage": "New Mexican cuisine" } ], "question_links": [ "New Mexican cuisine" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 160, "text": "Pueblo Native American", "passage": "new mexican cuisine", "end": 182 }, { "start": 188, "text": "Hispano Spanish ", "passage": "new mexican cuisine", "end": 204 }, { "start": 208, "text": "Mexican cuisine", "passage": "new mexican cuisine", "end": 223 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "What are the main features of New Mexico's food?", "qid": "q_1596" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 24, 52 ], "target": "Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta" }, { "indices": [ 137, 158 ], "target": "New Mexico State Fair" }, { "indices": [ 163, 183 ], "target": "Gathering of Nations" }, { "indices": [ 286, 310 ], "target": "University of New Mexico" }, { "indices": [ 327, 348 ], "target": "Santa Ana Star Center" }, { "indices": [ 350, 369 ], "target": "Isleta Amphitheater" }, { "indices": [ 404, 416 ], "target": "KiMo Theater" }, { "indices": [ 437, 457 ], "target": "Old Town Albuquerque" }, { "indices": [ 521, 532 ], "target": "Albuquerque Plaza" }, { "indices": [ 543, 555 ], "target": "Al Hurricane" }, { "indices": [ 570, 599 ], "target": "Albuquerque Convention Center" }, { "indices": [ 732, 748 ], "target": "New Mexico music" }, { "indices": [ 835, 849 ], "target": "Broadway theatre" }, { "indices": [ 949, 964 ], "target": "Global cuisine" }, { "indices": [ 990, 1009 ], "target": "New Mexican cuisine" } ], "text": "The city is home of the International Balloon Fiesta, the world's largest gathering of hot-air balloons, taking place every October.

He joined the Lebedev Institute of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR in Moscow as a senior scientist in 1940. In 1941 the institute was evacuated to Kazan. Under Abraham Alikhanov, he studied cosmic rays in Armenia from 1942. In 1943, he transferred to Laboratory No.2 under Igor Kurchatov as part of the Soviet project to develop nuclear weapons. Alikhanov founded Laboratory No.3 (which became the Institute for Theoretical and Experimental Physics (ITEP)) and Pomeranchuk worked there from 1946 (and for the rest of his life), founding and leading the Theoretical department, as well as being Professor of Theoretical Physics at the Moscow Mechanical Institute where students admired his infectious enthusiasm for his subject.

His work in the 1940s was dominated by neutron research and his manuscript with Akhiezer was the basic guide for Soviet nuclear reactor construction. In 1950, he published a paper suggesting that the entropy of helium-3 as a liquid was less than as a solid. In 1950, Pomeranchuk received an order from Josef Stalin to go to Arzamas-16, located in the closed city of Sarov, Nizhny Novgorod region, to work on Soviet nuclear weaponry. Missing his family and his 'hobby physics' problems, he was advised not to apply for a revocation but wait until the order was \"forgotten.\" He returned to ITEP within a year. He continued enthusiastically with work on quantum field theory and S-matrix theory, particle collisions and Regge theory, the latter in vigorous collaboration with Vladimir Gribov. His last paper on Regge theory was published posthumously. For his work, Pomeranchuk was twice awarded the Stalin Prize (1950, 1952).

Tony Joseph used pizza as a metaphor to explain the break-up of subcontinental society. The book also discusses about similarities and differences between Indus Valley civilization and early Vedic civilization. The book mentions that \u2018Aryan\u2019 culture was most likely the result of interaction, adoption and adaptation among those who brought Indo-European languages to India and those who were already well-settled inhabitants of the region, and that Sanskrit and Vedas developed in the Indian subcontinent. Various tribes like the Andamanese and the Semang (Malay Peninsula), the Mani (Thailand) and the Aeta people (the Philippines) were the earliest inhabitants of Southeast Asia. According to Joseph, Proto-Dravidian is related to the Elamitic language of Iran. Caste system in India is a recent social system, reflected in sharply reduced inter-marriage (endogamy) and genetic mixing after 100 AD.

One of his most appreciated films of this period, Dzieje grzechu (A Story of Sin) (1975), which was nominated for Palme d'or, is an adaptation of a Polish literary classic by Stefan \u017beromski. Like his 1966 short film Rosalie (a Guy de Maupassant adaptation and a Silver Bear winner), Dzieje grzechu had successfully rendered the themes of seduction and infanticide. Contes immoraux (Immoral Tales) (1973) and his later work, including Interno di un convento (Behind Convent Walls) (1977) (inspired by Promenades dans Rome of Stendhal) and C\u00e9r\u00e9monie d'amour (Rites of Love) (1988) have been controversial, lauded by some for their unique surrealist vision and derided by others as contentless pornography. Especially, La B\u00eate (The Beast, 1975) (based on the novel Lokis by Prosper M\u00e9rim\u00e9e and originally conceived in 1972 as a film on its own, but then in 1973 as the fifth story in Contes immoraux) was seen by many as a decline in the director's career after Dzieje grzechu, except in France, where it was hailed by prominent critics such as Ado Kyrou.

For most of its modern history, New Mexico existed on the periphery of the Spanish empire from 1598 until 1821 and later Mexico (1821\u20131848), but was dominated by Comancheria politically and economically from the 1750s to 1850s. Due to the Comanche, contact with the rest of Spanish America was limited, and New Mexican Spanish developed closer trading links with the Comanche than the rest of New Spain. In the meantime, some Spanish colonists coexisted with and intermarried with Puebloan peoples and Navajos, enemies of the Comanche. New Mexicans of all ethnicities were commonly enslaved by the Comanche and Apache of Apacheria, while Native New Mexicans were commonly enslaved and adopted Spanish language and culture. These Gen\u00edzaros served as house servants, sheep herders, and in other capacities in New Mexico including what is known today as Southern Colorado well into the 1800s.

Garrett portrays Joe Bulo, and Bokeem Woodbine appears as Mike Milligan, a role he was offered two days after auditioning. For the role of Hanzee Dent, Hawley hired Zahn McClarnon two weeks after his audition. Six others play members of the Gerhardts: Kieran Culkin as Rye, Rachel Keller as Simone, Michael Hogan as Otto, Allan Dobrescu as Charlie, Angus Sampson as Bear, and Jeffrey Donovan as Dodd. When asked about his decision to cast Donovan, Hawley told the actor, \"I don't know. You just come off with a sense of power. I think Dodd comes off with a sense of power, and I thought that you have the chops to find the humor in it.\" Donovan gained 30 pounds in preparation for his role.

Born in Cumberland, Jimmy's early football was with Askham-in-Furness (sic Askam-in-Furness), with whom he started in 1890 under R.U. rules. His first club in Yorkshire was Barnsley R.U. and thence to Featherstone. Whilst there, in season 1896-7, he played twice for North v. South - these being R.U. trial matches - and in that season too he figured in all Yorkshire's R.U. county games. It was later - but still in 1897 - that he turned to the Northern Union code and joined Trinity. Here his distinctions were continued and he was a member of the Yorkshire N.U. side which won the County Championship of 1897-8 and again in 1898-9. We can hardly do justice to his fine career in what must necessarily be a short account, but mention must be made of the fact that he played in Trinity's successful Cup Final at Headingley Rugby Stadium, Leeds in 1909, when he was thirty-six years old. And that was not the end. He did not cease to play until 1911 and, in his last match for Trinity gave a final display of his goal-kicking ability by adding three to his wonderful record. Jimmy's record of kicking eleven goals in a match has been equalled twice, but never extended. He set up the record on April 6, 1909, against Bramley at Belle Vue.

The year 1950 saw the premier of the long-running children's TV series Watch with Mother (1950\u201374) which would not include animation per se, but would feature several puppet-based segments (such as \"Andy Pandy\" and \"Flower Pot Men\") that would later become staples of British children's popular imagery and animation. Such is the case as well with the children's book character Noddy, who has appeared in various iterations and with different means of animation ranging from stop-motion to CGI to this day. The BBC's investment in resources and personnel oriented to children's media during this time would also provide avenues for the service's eventual inclusion of animation\u2014particularly stop-motion animation, which could be derived from some of the same resources and skill-sets as live action puppetry. Puppeteer Gordon Murray for example, would branch off from his work on the \"Watch with Mother\" segment \"The Woodentops\" and other live action puppet shows to create several stop motion animated children's series in the 1960s, including \"Camberwick Green\" (1966), \"Trumpton\" (1967) and \"Chigley\" (1969). Modelmaker Peter Firmin and writer Oliver Postgate similarly created several stop-motion animated works for children during this period, including \"Pingwings\" (1961\u20131964), \"Pogles' Wood\" (1966\u20131967) and \"Clangers\" (1969\u20131972). It is during this period that ties between the UK's children's animation and several other British media and literary tendencies consolidated, with shows of this period providing a blueprint for future children's TV focussing on rural communities and day-to-day interpersonal relationships. Within this tendency, strong ties can be seen within children's TV and much older pastoral children's literature, social realist cinema and documentary, and the theatrical comedy of manners. This transition from puppetry to stop-motion also demonstrates the influence of Eastern European animation (such as that of Czech animator Ji\u0159\u00ed Trnka and his followers), with its own proclivity for wood and felt animation puppets and often static facial features. Trnka's work helped to inspire British production companies, including Pete Bryden and Ed Cookson's BBC-commissioned stop-frame animated children's series Summerton Mill (2005).\n", "title": "History of British animation", "pid": "p_776" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "In December 1944/January 1945, engaged enemy targets on the north side of the Battle of the Bulge", "indices": [ 630, 727 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "The Battle of the Bulge, also known as the Ardennes Counteroffensive, was the last major German offensive campaign on the Western Front during World War II, and took place from 16 December 1944 to 25 January 1945.", "indices": [ 0, 213 ], "passage": "Battle of the Bulge" }, { "text": "Although the Germans managed to begin their offensive with complete surprise and enjoyed some initial successes, they were not able to seize the initiative on the Western front.

In 1917 Holst's ten-year-old daughter Imogen started at the school; soon, under Joseph's guidance the young pupil was composing her own music. Joseph extended her own musical activities by joining the orchestra at Morley College, where Holst was the director of music and where her brother Edwin had played the cello before the war. At first she played the double-bass, but later took French horn lessons, possibly from Adolph Borsdorf; later still, at very short notice, she taught herself the timpani part for a summer concert. By 1918 she was a member of the Morley committee that on 9 March organised and produced an opera burlesque, English Opera as She is Wrote, in which English, Italian, German, French and Russian opera styles were parodied in successive scenes. The performance was a great success and was repeated at several venues. It may have inspired Holst to use parody in his own opera, The Perfect Fool, which he began composing in 1918.

Reporters for Reuters in Tbilisi reported hearing three explosions in the early-morning hours of 10 August and a Georgian Interior Ministry representative said that three bombs were dropped on Tbilisi International Airport by Russian warplanes. A military manufacturing plant near the airport was also attacked by Russia that day. A civilian radar station in Tbilisi was bombed the following day.

This style of transition is seen again in \"The Stolen Earth\"/\"Journey's End\" (2008) both when the Doctor undergoes an aborted regeneration, and when his hand spawns a clone in the second part; in The End of Time (2010) during which Matt Smith took over the role as the Eleventh Doctor; in \"The Impossible Astronaut\" when the Doctor is shot twice and seemingly killed; in \"Day of the Moon\" when a young girl regenerates; and in \"Let's Kill Hitler\" when Mels (Nina Toussaint-White) is shot and regenerates into River Song (Alex Kingston). \"The Night of the Doctor\" and \"The Day of the Doctor\" subsequently use the effect to show the Eighth Doctor and War Doctor's regenerations respectively. The Eighth Doctor's regeneration into the War Doctor uses steady beams of light as opposed to the flame effect used for other revived series regenerations. In the Series 10 episode \"The Lie of the Land\", the Twelfth Doctor fakes a regeneration as part of a plan to test if Bill still has free will. The effect used is consistent with the one used in the modern series, with the Doctor's hands glowing and emitting regeneration energy before he enters full regeneration.

In order to prove the censors wrong and show that it could appear on television, the staff dug up footage from an old Academy Awards ceremony at which the song was performed by Isaac Hayes. When the chef at the sushi bar finds out Homer has been poisoned, he yells at his apprentices in Japanese. The staff wanted the language they spoke to be actual Japanese, so they hired a Japanese actor who translated the lines for them. The episode introduced the character Akira, who has appeared many times later on the show. American actor George Takei provided the voice of Akira, although the character was voiced in later episodes by Hank Azaria. The episode featured many other guest appearances; Larry King as himself; Sab Shimono as the sushi bar chef; Joey Miyashima as Toshiro, the apprentice chef who slices up the fugu; and Diane Tanaka as hostess of the bar. King's role was first offered to American singer Bruce Springsteen, but he turned it down.

In Farm Frolics (Bob Clampett, 1941), a horse, asked by the narrator to \"do a canter\", promptly launches into a singing, dancing, eye-rolling impression. The Cantor gag that got the most mileage, however, was his oft-repeated wish for a son after five famous daughters. Slap-Happy Pappy (Clampett, 1940) features an \"Eddie Cackler\" rooster that wants a boy, to little avail. Other references can be found in Baby Bottleneck (Clampett, 1946) and Circus Today (Tex Avery, 1940). In Merrie Melodies, The Coo-Coo Nut Grove Cantor's many daughters are referenced by a group of singing quintuplet girls.

Her painting work began to adopt some of the characteristics of Neo-Dada art, as she used box structures coupled with expressionist brushwork. These constructs share the heavily textural characteristics found in the work of artists such as Robert Rauschenberg. She described the atmosphere in the art community at this time as misogynistic and that female artists of the time were not aware of their bodies. These works integrated influence by artists such as post-impressionist painter Paul C\u00e9zanne and the issues in painting brought up by the abstract expressionists. Schneemann chose to focus on expressiveness in her art rather than accessibility or stylishness. She still described herself as a formalist however, unlike other feminist artists who wanted to distance themselves from male-oriented art history. She is considered a \"first-generation feminist artist\", a group that also includes Mary Beth Edelson, Rachel Rosenthal, and Judy Chicago. They were part of the feminist art movement in Europe and the United States in the early 1970s to develop feminist writing and art. Schneemann became involved with the art movement of happenings when she organized A Journey through a Disrupted Landscape, inviting people to \"crawl, climb, negotiate rocks, climb, walk, go through mud\". Soon thereafter she met Allan Kaprow, the primary figure of happenings in addition to artists Red Grooms and Jim Dine.

The Division saw its severest action at St. Vith, Echternach, and Bastogne, its units fighting in widely separated areas. Its stand at Bastogne held off the Germans long enough to enable the 101st Airborne Division to dig in for a defense of the city. After a rest period in January 1945, the Division prepared to drive across the Roer River. The offensive was launched on 28 February 1945 and the 9th crossed the Roer to Rheinbach, sending patrols into Remagen. On 7 March 1945, elements of the 9th Armored found that the Ludendorff Bridge was still standing. When German demolition charges failed to bring the bridge down, they crossed it, disarming and removing the remaining charges, which could have exploded at any time. The Division exploited the bridgehead, moving south and east across the Lahn River toward Limburg, where thousands of Allied prisoners were liberated from Stalag XIIA. The Division drove on to Frankfurt and then turned to assist in the closing of the Ruhr Pocket. In April it continued east, encircling Leipzig and securing a line along the Mulde River. The Division was shifting south to Czechoslovakia when the war in Europe ended on 9 May 1945.

All of these studio wizards (Eric Foster White, Tommy Sims, and Michael Lloyd) are better-known for their secular pop music, and the variety of atmospheres they create poise Grant for crossover pop success. It also helps that the lyrics Grant sings are designed as inspirational, rather than preachy. Torchy tracks like 'I Am Not Alone' and rock-driven anthems like 'I Will Be' could definitely lead both teenagers looking for substance, and adult contemporary audiences, to a deeper examination of important spiritual issues. Grant's wide-ranging pipes (yes, think potential diva) would surely sound great without all the production energy, but nearly every up-tempo tune here is an irresistible mix of pop/rock and modern soul flavors. The title track is all thump and hook, and some of the vocal texturing will remind fans of Point of Grace. Another POG-like tune, 'Days Like These', is driven by jangly alternative pop guitars. A few tracks touch on simple exotica, most notably \"Love Without Limits\" with its swirling flamenco strings. Amidst the playful spirit is Grant's most heartfelt tune, a lush and teary, almost breathless tribute to her father, 'Always Be Your Baby' This tune alone indicates that we're dealing with a major new talent whose deeper life extends from the spiritual into the musical.\" Christianity Todays Russ Breimeier stated \"In a relatively short time Natalie Grant has earned a reputation for three things rather unique to her five-year career. First, she's released every album on a different record label. Both Benson and Pamplin have since closed their doors\u2014'the curse' will likely end with Curb, which is relatively secure under the wings of Warner Brothers' Christian Music Division. Second, the Seattle-born artist is well-known for her protestations about being labeled a 'pop diva'. There is typically a negative connotation to the 'd'-word that flies in the face of Natalie's humble servant attitude and her desire to focus her music on the goodness of God. Unfortunately for her, the diva label is an apt description of her musical styling, which leads into the third unique trait. Despite her diminutive size, Natalie has an impressively big voice with enough nuance to hold her own among any of the classic pop divas (Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, take your pick), earning her multiple Dove nominations for Female Vocalist of the Year. Undeterred by collapsing record labels and pop music stereotypes, Natalie admirably presses on with Deeper Life, her third effort, by stretching her own artistic skills. Her previous album, Stronger (released in 2001), featured her first attempts at songwriting by co-writing a handful of tracks. On Deeper Life, she co-writes nearly every song. Additionally, Natalie steps up as co-producer of this album, joining a slew of A-list pop producers and songwriters: Tommy Simms (CeCe Winans, Anointed), Eric Foster White (Jessica Simpson, Whitney Houston), Bryan Lenox (Michael W. Smith, Ronnie Freeman), Bernie Herms (Plus One), and Rob Graves (songwriter and guitarist on Joy Williams's By Surprise). The approach on this project was to create an album that relied less on programmed pop and more on live musicians, and the results are indeed stunning. I daresay this is Natalie's best-sounding album yet. But we must keep it in perspective. This is still R&B-flavored; adult contemporary pop a la Mariah Carey, Jaci Velasquez, Kelly Clarkson, Jessica Simpson, and many others. It is most certainly not (as suggested by the press bio) the classic rock sound of Sheryl Crow or the modern pop/rock of Avril Lavigne. Christian adult contemporary and inspirational pop speaks for itself\u2014some find it meaningful and poignant, while others find it clich\u00e9d and boring. In that spirit, the songs of Deeper Life are best explored for what they are\u2014you'll know by the titles, lyrics, and styles if this music matches or offends your tastes. Nevertheless, there's no getting around Natalie's vocal prowess or the superior production, which means you're bound to be impressed with Deeper Life if you enjoy first-rate pop.\" Heather Marsden of Cross Rhythms claimed \"This is Natalie Grant's third album and is positive proof that her new home at Curb Records is working well for her. The album opens with the upbeat title track 'Deeper Life', a poppy feel good song that's easy to pick up and sing along. 'Days Like These' and 'I Will Be' are in a similar style without being repetitions of the first song. The songs 'That's When I Give Up (On Loving You)', 'Live for Today' and 'I Desire' have a more acoustic rock kind of sound\u2014similar to that of Michelle Branch. The bonus track 'No Sign of It' has been featured in the new Gwyneth Paltrow film View from the Top. Deeper Life contains some of Grant's best work, it's a great record with a good message, sure to please her growing number of fans and draw in some new ones.\" JesusFreakHideout's Shaun Stevenson remarked \"Things haven't always been easy for Natalie Grant. After changing record companies twice, Grant has finally found a home with Curb Records. And now, with the release of Deeper Life, Grant is sure headed in the right direction with a solid third album. Albums are always opening with something upbeat these days, and Deeper Life opens things off in the right direction. With plenty of signature Grant sounds, the song really reflects what this album is all about: seeking the deeper life in Jesus Christ. Natalie Grant sure has something going for her. With this newest album, containing some of her strongest work to date, she's really outdone herself. A solid record, a solid message, and a solid musical base, Deeper Life is sure to please fans of Grant's previous work, and it's also sure to bring in new listeners. Trouble has come to Natalie Grant in the past, but now, there's no sign of it, and her skies are definitely clear today.\"\n", "title": "Deeper Life", "pid": "p_846" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "Rise Against then signed to Dreamworks Records in late 2003", "indices": [ 647, 706 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "DreamWorks Records (often referred in copyright notices as SKG Music, LLC) was an American record label founded in 1996 by David Geffen, Steven Spielberg and Jeffrey Katzenberg as a subsidiary of DreamWorks SKG.", "indices": [ 0, 211 ], "passage": "DreamWorks Records" } ], "question_links": [ "DreamWorks Records" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 155, "text": "David Geffen, Steven Spielberg and Jeffrey Katzenberg", "passage": "dreamworks records", "end": 208 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "Who owned the record company that signed Rise Against in late 2003?", "qid": "q_2025" }, { "context": [ { "text": "gaining the band major critical and commercial success with the singles \"Give It All, \"Swing Life Away\", and \"Life Less Frightening\"", "indices": [ 1168, 1300 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Give It All", "Swing Life Away", "Siren Song of the Counter Culture" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "Who wrote the songs that gave the band major critical and commercial success?", "qid": "q_2026" }, { "context": [ { "text": "Tintari left the band in the fall of that year before the recording of their full-length album.

In February 1903, the new Russian foreign minister, Vladimir Lamsdorf, visited Vienna and signed the so-called \"Vienna Program\" on Macedonian reforms. The program was substantially the same as the Ottoman decree of December. The immediate provocation of a new agreement at M\u00fcrzsteg was the Ilinden\u2013Preobrazhenie Uprising that broke out on 2 August. With its quick suppression, the Vienna Program lay dead. In September Tsar Nicholas II of Russia visited the Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria-Hungary at the latter's castle in M\u00fcrzsteg, Austria. The two rulers put their signatures to a new memorandum, substantially identical to the Vienna Program, which called for the appointment of one Russian and one Austro-Hungarian civil agent to oversee the reform of the administration, judiciary and local gendarmerie in the Macedonian vilayets. In all these institutions Christians were to take part. After Abdul Hamid accepted the proposal in November, Russia appointed one N. Demerik as its agent, and Austria chose one G. M\u00fcller. They began their work under H\u00fcseyin Hilmi Pasha, the Inspector-General of Macedonia, in early 1904.

Jones contracted with Finn to build the Lamar Hotel, where Jones established his new residence. The Jones apartment consumed the whole top floor, though he hired John F. Staub for the interior design. Jones also promised a venue for the 1928 Democratic National Convention without consulting the city of Houston, pledging $200,000 of his own capital. He engaged Finn and Kenneth Franzheim to design and erect the Sam Houston Hall in just four months. The Sam Houston Hall, ostensibly built to be a temporary structure, was larger than Madison Square Garden, and equipped with heavy-duty fans and apertures between the roof and the walls to facilitate air flow.

Figes sets the war in the context of the Eastern Question, the diplomatic and political problems caused by the decay of the Ottoman Empire.

He frames the war within a longer history of religious conflict between Christians and Muslims in the Balkans, southern Russia and the Caucasus that continues to this day. Figes stresses the religious motive of the Tsar Nicholas I in his bold decision to go to war, arguing that Nicholas was swayed by the ideas of the Pan-Slavs to invade Moldavia and Wallachia and encourage Slav revolts against the Ottomans, despite his earlier adherence to the Legitimist principles of the Holy Alliance. He also shows how France and Britain were drawn into the war by popular ideas of Russophobia that swept across Europe in the wake of the Revolutions of 1830 and 1848.

Typically presented as 15- to 60-second-long cartoons, the show is filled with gratuitous violence that almost invariably prompts uproarious laughter from Bart and Lisa. The Simpsons also occasionally features characters who are involved with the production of The Itchy & Scratchy Show, including Roger Meyers Jr. (voiced by Alex Rocco, and, later, Hank Azaria), who runs the studio and produces the show.\n", "title": "The Itchy & Scratchy Show", "pid": "p_872" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "The buildings on the corner of Holywell Street and Mansfield Road, along with the Alternative Tuck Shop, are owned by", "indices": [ 628, 745 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "The college started as the Warrington Academy in 1757", "indices": [ 380, 433 ], "passage": "Harris Manchester College, Oxford" } ], "question_links": [ "Harris Manchester College, Oxford" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 476, "text": "1757 ", "passage": "harris manchester college, oxford", "end": 481 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "When was the educational institution that owns the buildings on the corner of Holywell Street and Mansfield Road established?", "qid": "q_2100" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 0, 11 ], "target": "New College, Oxford" }, { "indices": [ 92, 103 ], "target": "King's Arms, Oxford" }, { "indices": [ 155, 172 ], "target": "University of Oxford" }, { "indices": [ 191, 207 ], "target": "Indian Institute" }, { "indices": [ 225, 261 ], "target": "Oxford Martin School" }, { "indices": [ 302, 321 ], "target": "Holywell Music Room" }, { "indices": [ 335, 348 ], "target": "Chamber music" }, { "indices": [ 462, 473 ], "target": "Turf Tavern" }, { "indices": [ 679, 693 ], "target": "Mansfield Road, Oxford" }, { "indices": [ 710, 731 ], "target": "Tuck shop" }, { "indices": [ 746, 771 ], "target": "Harris Manchester College, Oxford" } ], "text": "New College dominates the south side of the street.

WWE Chairman Vince McMahon interrupted, and booked a triple threat \"Champion of Champions\" match at Cyber Sunday between the three of them. This also gave each show's General Manager an opportunity to choose opponents for each other's champion that night. This resulted in Big Show defeating Jeff Hardy and Booker defeating Rob Van Dam; however, the match between Cena and The Undertaker was interrupted by Booker, Big Show, and The Undertaker's storyline rival, Mr. Kennedy. At the same time, Cena began a minor feud with Kevin Federline. Federline, as the on-screen close friend of Johnny Nitro and Melina's, appeared on Raw to promote his album, \"Playing With Fire\". Cena rapped about Federline, but Nitro came out to Federline's defense and was thrown out of the ring by Cena. Cena was then interrupted by his two Cyber Sunday opponents, and McMahon who announced that a championship would be on the line at Cyber Sunday. Cena performed the FU on Federline, after being insulted. The feud between the champions continued on the October 20 edition of SmackDown!, when Big Show and Cena were at ringside during Booker's title defense against Batista. Batista speared Booker onto Big Show, who, in response, assaulted Batista, ending the match via disqualification. Cena then joined the brawl, and SmackDown! General Manager Theodore Long announced a tag team match for the next week. On the next Raw, Cena defeated Nitro after an FU, but was assaulted afterwards by his Cyber Sunday opponents, who turned on each other shortly after to start a brawl between the four to end the show. Batista and Cena were successful in the tag team match, after Big Show abandoned Booker. The next week, on Raw, a preview of Cyber Sunday's interactivity was displayed when fans voted for Cena's opponent for the night, between Big Show, Booker, and Jonathan Coachman.

At Jena his naturally affability, his abundance of inoffensive humour and his exceptional talent as a piano player all combined to gain him ready access to the homes and social circles of the professors.

At the home of the anatomist Justus Christian Loder he got to know Goethe and Schiller, Herder and Fichte. It was nevertheless striking that while his literary awareness and social circle developed rapidly, he approached his studies in jurisprudence with a marked absence of diligence. Early in 1797 he returned to Hamburg for a visit during which he renewed his friendship with Johann Albert Heinrich Reimarus and Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi.

The section of present-day I-70 between PA 519 near Washington and New Stanton was built as a four-lane divided highway known as the \"Express Highway\"; this road was assigned the temporary PA 71 Alternate designation in 1957 and would be designated as I-70S following the completion of additional connecting roads in the Interstate Highway System. On July 15, 1960, I-70 was designated onto the Penn-Lincoln Parkway. A southern extension of Interstate 79 (which had previously only run from Erie south to Pittsburgh) to Charleston, West Virginia in 1963 resulted in changes to I-70.

In 1969, he played Cal Baker, a Jobs Corps crew member, in the TV series Lassie episode \"Success Story\". In 1971, he played the lead role Mike in the TV movie In Search of America. His first major role came in the 1971 film The Last Picture Show, for which he garnered a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. He co-starred in the 1972 critically acclaimed neo-noir boxing film Fat City, directed by John Huston. In 1973 he starred as Junior Jackson in the film The Last American Hero based on the true story of NASCAR driver Junior Johnson. He was nominated again for Best Supporting Actor for his performance opposite Clint Eastwood in the 1974 film Thunderbolt and Lightfoot. In 1976, he starred as the protagonist Jack Prescott in the first remake of King Kong, opposite Jessica Lange. This film was a commercial success, earning $90\u00a0million worldwide, more than triple its $23\u00a0million budget, and also winning an Academy Award for special effects.\n\nOne of his better-known roles was in the 1982 science fiction film Tron, in which he played Kevin Flynn, a video game programmer (a role he reprised in late 2010 with the sequel ).

He was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor in 1984, for playing the alien in Starman. He was also acclaimed for his roles in the thriller Against All Odds (1984) and the crime drama Jagged Edge (1985). His role in Fearless (1993) is thought by some critics to be one of his best performances. One critic dubbed it a masterpiece; Pauline Kael wrote that he \"may be the most natural and least self-conscious screen actor that has ever lived\". In 1994, he starred as Lt. Jimmy Dove in the action film Blown Away, opposite Tommy Lee Jones and Forest Whitaker. His real life father Lloyd Bridges also featured in the film, playing the uncle of Bridges' character. The film managed to recoup $30 million of its $50 million budget at the box office. It was up against another explosive-themed film, Speed, which had been released a few weeks before Bridges' film. On July 11, 1994, Bridges received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for his contributions to the motion picture industry. The star is located at 7065 Hollywood Boulevard.

The first filmmaking course started in April 1957. \n\nThe school was the first of its kind in the United Kingdom. Inspired by the emergence of film schools in Eastern Europe after World War II, it was set up around the belief that the future of the British film industry required properly designed formal training, rather than the apprenticeship basis which was, at the time, the only access into the field. At first, the school offered a 6-months diploma course which students could take over the day or evening classes, with an optional 6-months extension. Under the leadership of principal Robert Dunbar, the course was expanded to 33 weeks and later 2 years, forming the basic structure for a curriculum that is still largely in place today. \n\nThis caused a drastic increase in the student numbers, which made the original premises in Electric Avenue, Brixton, unsuited.

This new Chang'an was laid out on a north-south axis in a grid pattern, dividing the enclosure into 108 wards and featuring two large marketplaces, in the east and west respectively. Everyday, administrators of the two marketplaces would beat gong for three hundred times in the morning and evening to signify the start and stop of business. People lived in the wards were not allowed to go outside after curfew. Officials with higher-ranking had the privilege to live closer to the central avenue. Chang'an's layout influenced city planning of several other Asian capitals for many years to come. Chang'an's walled and gated wards were much larger than conventional city blocks seen in modern cities, as the smallest ward had a surface area of 68 acres and the largest ward had a surface area of . The height of the walls enclosing each ward were on average 9 to in height. The Japanese built their ancient capitals, Heij\u014d-ky\u014d (today's Nara) and later Heian-ky\u014d or Kyoto, modelled after Chang'an in a more modest scale yet was never fortified. The modern Kyoto still retains some characteristics of Sui-Tang Chang'an. Similarly, the Korean Silla dynasty modeled their capital of Gyeongju after the Chinese capital. Sanggyeong, one of the five capitals of the state of Balhae, was also laid out like Chang'an.\n", "title": "Chang'an", "pid": "p_936" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "His writing partner was often David \"Hawk\" Wolinski, the keyboardist for Rufus featuring Chaka Khan", "indices": [ 275, 374 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "\n\nIn the late 1970s Wolinski joined Rufus as a keyboardist and songwriter.

With Muslims calling for greater representation and with Cold War tensions, Lebanese leadership had to decide whether to ally with the West or with Egypt, Syria and its Arab history. Christians wanted to continue alliances with the West but Muslims were drawn to Nasser's pan-Arabism. Multiple factors including sectarian tensions and Palestinian refugee settlement in southern Lebanon contributed to the beginnings of the Lebanese Civil War. In 1976, Syrian President Hafez al-Assad sent troops into Lebanon to fight PLO forces on behalf of Christian militias. This led to escalated fighting until a cease-fire agreement later that year that allowed for the stationing of Syrian troops within Lebanon. The Syrian presence in Lebanon quickly changed sides; soon after they entered Lebanon they had flip-flopped and began to fight the Christian nationalists in Lebanon they allegedly entered the country to protect. The Kateab Party and the Lebanese Forces under Bachir Gemayel strongly resisted the Syrians in Lebanon. Following the Israeli invasion into Lebanon in 1982, new Lebanese President Amine Gemayel sought the support of Syrian troops to stabilize the region.

He then emigrated to Hungary, where he played for MTK Budapest, before becoming their manager. In the 1920s, Burgess' managerial career took him to Italy, where he became the manager of Padova. He had a two-year spell at Milan before returning to Padova, but two years later he was on the move again, this time to Roma.\n", "title": "Herbert Burgess", "pid": "p_950" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "Meet John Doe is a 1941 American comedy-drama film directed and produced by Frank Capra, and starring Gary Cooper and Barbara Stanwyck.", "indices": [ 0, 135 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Frank James Cooper; May 7, 1901 \u2013 May 13, 1961)", "indices": [ 18, 65 ], "passage": "Gary Cooper" }, { "text": "Ruby Catherine Stevens; July 16, 1907 \u2013 January 20, 1990)", "indices": [ 23, 80 ], "passage": "Barbara Stanwyck" } ], "question_links": [ "Barbara Stanwyck", "Gary Cooper" ], "answer": { "answer_value": "74", "answer_unit": "years", "type": "value" }, "question": "What was the combined ages of Gary Cooper and Barbara Stanwyck during the year they starred in a film directed and produced by Frank Capra?", "qid": "q_2301" }, { "context": [ { "text": "Meet John Doe is a 1941 American comedy-drama film directed and produced by Frank Capra, and starring Gary Cooper and Barbara Stanwyck.", "indices": [ 0, 135 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": " Francesco Rosario Capra; May 18, 1897\u00a0\u2013 September 3, 1991)", "indices": [ 25, 84 ], "passage": "Frank Capra" } ], "question_links": [ "Frank Capra" ], "answer": { "answer_value": "44", "answer_unit": "years", "type": "value" }, "question": "How old was Frank Capra the year he directed and produced a movie starring Gary Cooper and Barbara Stanwyck?", "qid": "q_2302" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 33, 50 ], "target": "Comedy-drama" }, { "indices": [ 76, 87 ], "target": "Frank Capra" }, { "indices": [ 102, 113 ], "target": "Gary Cooper" }, { "indices": [ 118, 134 ], "target": "Barbara Stanwyck" }, { "indices": [ 157, 167 ], "target": "Grassroots" }, { "indices": [ 372, 400 ], "target": "Academy Award for Best Story" }, { "indices": [ 423, 453 ], "target": "AFI's 100 Years...100 Cheers" }, { "indices": [ 485, 519 ], "target": "List of films in the public domain in the United States" }, { "indices": [ 560, 582 ], "target": "Copyright registration" }, { "indices": [ 667, 682 ], "target": "Warner Bros." }, { "indices": [ 698, 715 ], "target": "Columbia Pictures" }, { "indices": [ 784, 804 ], "target": "Arsenic and Old Lace (play)" } ], "text": "Meet John Doe is a 1941 American comedy-drama film directed and produced by Frank Capra, and starring Gary Cooper and Barbara Stanwyck.

FitzRoy struggled to keep order between M\u0101ori and settlers keen to buy their land, with very limited financial and military resources at his disposal. Outbreak of the first armed conflicts of the New Zealand Wars and FitzRoy's siding with M\u0101ori claims against the New Zealand Company and its settlers over land deals lead to his recall by the Colonial Office in 1845. \n", "title": "Governor-General of New Zealand", "pid": "p_952" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "The song is a ballad which has the girls singing what Sarah Davis at Dotmusic called a \"sugar-coated\" farewell to friend Geri Halliwell,", "indices": [ 228, 364 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Geraldine Estelle Horner (n\u00e9e Halliwell) (born 6 August 1972), ", "indices": [ 0, 63 ], "passage": "Geri Halliwell" } ], "question_links": [ "Geri Halliwell" ], "answer": { "answer_value": "yes", "type": "binary" }, "question": "Was the friend who the song was a \"sugar-coated\" farewell to born before 1980?", "qid": "q_2304" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 60, 81 ], "target": "BMG Rights Management" }, { "indices": [ 103, 114 ], "target": "Common Time" }, { "indices": [ 129, 136 ], "target": "E major" }, { "indices": [ 170, 171 ], "target": "G (musical note)" }, { "indices": [ 175, 176 ], "target": "C (musical note)" }, { "indices": [ 198, 203 ], "target": "Tempo" }, { "indices": [ 242, 248 ], "target": "Ballad" }, { "indices": [ 297, 305 ], "target": "Dotmusic" }, { "indices": [ 349, 363 ], "target": "Geri Halliwell" }, { "indices": [ 454, 460 ], "target": "Bustle (magazine)" }, { "indices": [ 480, 486 ], "target": "Refrain" } ], "text": "According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by BMG Rights Management, \"Goodbye\" is set in common time with a key of E major.

The band played on four different boats, and usually left New Orleans in May and travel to St. Louis, though they also sometimes traveled further north. They played jazz, popular, and classical music while on the boats. Dodds and Armstrong left Fate Marable's band in 1921 due to a disagreement about musical style, and Dodds soon joined King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band. At this time, the personnel in Oliver's band were Joe \"King\" Oliver on cornet, Baby Dodds' brother Johnny Dodds on clarinet, Davey Jones on alto saxophone, Honor\u00e9 Dutrey on trombone, Lil Hardin on piano, Jimmy Palao on violin, and Eddie Garland on bass fiddle. They moved to California in 1921 to work with Oliver there, and they played together for about fifteen months. In 1922, the band, excepting Garland, Palao, and Jones, followed Oliver to Chicago, which would be his base of operations for several years. They began playing at the Lincoln Gardens, and Louis Armstrong also joined this outfit. Dodds describes playing with this band as \"a beautiful experience\".

Scribner's Monthly was later moved to another publisher, and renamed The Century Illustrated Monthly Magazine. Charles Scribner announced to a New York Times reporter that they would make a new monthly publication \"as soon as the necessary arrangements could be perfected\". It was also announced that the editor would be Edward Burlingame, the son of Anson Burlingame, who was already connected to the publishing house as literary adviser. Charles Scribner also noted that the magazine would not be a revival of the formerly published Scribner's Monthly. Charles Scribner's Sons spent over $500,000 in launching Scribner's Magazine to complete with the already successful pictorials, The Atlantic Monthly and Harper's Magazine. Burlingame hired the best artists in his country for the magazine; Howard Pyle, Howard Chandler Christy, Charles Marion Russell, Walter Everett, Maxfield Parrish and Frederic Remington. Before the first issue was released, Charles Scribner's Sons had their first annual \"Scribner's Magazine\" dinner at their main offices. Scribner's Magazine was launched in January 1887, the first issue of which was to be published from January to June of that year. The magazine was printed and bound by Trow's Printing and Bookbinding Company. Scribner's Magazine was also the first magazine to introduce color illustrations later on. The first issue opens with the literary article \"The Downfall to the Empire.\" by E.B. Washburne, the former minister to France. An early morning fire in 1908 at the Charles Scribner's Sons offices heavily burned the third and fourth floors, where the magazine was produced. In May 1914, the magazine's editor, Edward L. Burlingame, retired and Robert Bridges took over as editor. (Bridges was a lifelong close friend of President Woodrow Wilson ever since the two had met as students at Princeton University.) During the First World War, the magazine employed authors, Richard Harding Davis, Edith Wharton and John Galsworthy, to write about the major conflict. During the time of 1917, when the United States joined the war, the magazine had four to six articles on the subject. On the date of November 19, 1922, the first editor of the magazine, Edward L. Burlingame, died. On January 1928 the magazine had a change in format, with the first of the newly formatted issue having a cover design by Rockwell Kent.\n", "title": "Scribner's Magazine", "pid": "p_967" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "Dan Sullivan is a fictional character from the BBC soap opera EastEnders, played by Craig Fairbrass.

Black Hawk's success drew fighters from other Utes in Colorado, Apaches from New Mexico, and many Navajos. In the winter of 1866 Black Hawk and his band went to the Four Corners region where he received many new recruits. So many Navajos joined him that they formed almost half his raiders. The Navajo had been decimated by the U.S. Army under Kit Carson and forced out of their ancestral homeland. The remaining Navajos were eager for a chance to build up their herds at the expense of white settlers. Manuelito, the most important chief refusing to relocate to the Bosque Redondo Reservation, jointly led Black Hawk's raids on Mormon settlements in southern Utah during 1866. The attacks commenced at Pipe Springs, then a Mormon settlement on the Arizona-Utah border. The retaliation for the Pipe Springs raid left four unarmed Paiutes dead for murders they had nothing to do with. This brought some Paiute fighters to Black Hawk's band. Hopis hearing of the Navajo's movements feared they were to be attacked and struck first ambushing Manuelito's Navajos. The raids continued at the Paria settlements, and Kanab, who sent pleas for help against the raids. In subsequent years, the raids continued in the south by Navajos and Paiutes, which raised tensions to a fever pitch which would result in the worst massacre of the war at Circleville. Chief Kanosh predicted that in 1867 six thousand Navajos would wipe out the Mormon towns in southern Utah.\n", "title": "Black Hawk War (1865\u20131872)", "pid": "p_971" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "The Life, also known as We Are ODST is a television and cinema advertisement launched in 2009", "indices": [ 0, 93 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Microsoft" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "What was the market capitalization of Microsoft the year The Life was launched?", "qid": "q_2349" }, { "context": [ { "text": "The Life, also known as We Are ODST is a television and cinema advertisement launched in 2009", "indices": [ 0, 93 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Hungary was involved in the Yugoslav Wars.\n\nIn 2006, major protests erupted after it was revealed that Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcs\u00e1ny had claimed in a private speech that his party \"lied\" to win the recent elections.", "indices": [ 33585, 33802 ], "passage": "Hungary" } ], "question_links": [ "Hungary" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 33709, "text": "Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcs\u00e1ny", "passage": "hungary", "end": 33740 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "Who was the leader of Hungary the year The Life was launched?", "qid": "q_2350" }, { "context": [ { "text": "The Life, also known as We Are ODST is a television and cinema advertisement launched in 2009 by Microsoft", "indices": [ 0, 106 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Microsoft" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "Did Microsoft make a profit the year The Life was launched?", "qid": "q_2351" }, { "context": [ { "text": "The Life, also known as We Are ODST is a television and cinema advertisement launched in 2009 by Microsoft", "indices": [ 0, 106 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Steve Ballmer replaced Gates as CEO in 2000,", "indices": [ 2095, 2139 ], "passage": "Microsoft" } ], "question_links": [ "Microsoft" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 2118, "text": "Steve Ballmer", "passage": "microsoft", "end": 2131 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "Who was the CEO of Microsoft the year The Life was launched?", "qid": "q_2352" }, { "context": [ { "text": "The Life, also known as We Are ODST is a television and cinema advertisement launched in 2009", "indices": [ 0, 93 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Rupert Sanders" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "What other commercials did Rupert Sanders direct the year he directed The Life?", "qid": "q_2353" }, { "context": [ { "text": "The Life, also known as We Are ODST is a television and cinema advertisement launched in 2009 by Microsoft", "indices": [ 0, 106 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Microsoft" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "What other advertisements did Microsoft release the year it launched The Life?", "qid": "q_2354" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 63, 76 ], "target": "Advertising" }, { "indices": [ 97, 106 ], "target": "Microsoft" }, { "indices": [ 258, 284 ], "target": "Factions of Halo" }, { "indices": [ 308, 319 ], "target": "Paratrooper" }, { "indices": [ 384, 402 ], "target": "Advertising agency" }, { "indices": [ 426, 441 ], "target": "McCann (company)" }, { "indices": [ 494, 512 ], "target": "Production company" }, { "indices": [ 560, 574 ], "target": "Rupert Sanders" }, { "indices": [ 580, 595 ], "target": "Post-production" }, { "indices": [ 638, 645 ], "target": "Hungary" }, { "indices": [ 660, 668 ], "target": "Budapest" }, { "indices": [ 733, 745 ], "target": "Eastern Bloc" }, { "indices": [ 1109, 1120 ], "target": "Clio Awards" }, { "indices": [ 1192, 1239 ], "target": "Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity" } ], "text": "The Life, also known as We Are ODST is a television and cinema advertisement launched in 2009 by Microsoft to promote the first person shooter in the United States.

When the series begins, with \"The Pilot\" (2017), the pair were based in a university in Bristol, where Nardole attempted to keep the Doctor to his oath to guard an alien vault beneath the university. He is concerned about the Doctor taking on Bill Potts (Pearl Mackie) as a new travelling companion, maintaining that it amounts to him abandoning his post. Nardole is ultimately dragged on an outer space adventure with the Doctor and Bill in \"Oxygen\". The subsequent episodes of \"Extremis\", \"The Pyramid at the End of the World\" and \"The Lie of the Land\", following a story arc over the three episodes, establish that Nardole came to assist the Doctor on instructions left by River Song before she died, and has taken it as his mission to keep the Doctor in line as the last request of River Song, to the point that he refers to himself as \"the only person legally qualified to kick the Doctor's arse\". He formally joined the Doctor after the Doctor took an oath to guard his Time Lord friend and arch-enemy Missy (Michelle Gomez) for a thousand years. In the same story, Nardole narrowly escapes a deadly bacterial infection due to his alien biology, and assists Bill and the Doctor in restoring free will to the Earth after history had been rewritten by the menacing alien \"Monks\". In several following episodes, Nardole repeatedly shows his resourcefulness and adaptability as he joins the Doctor and Bill on other trips, even once working with Missy to repair the TARDIS after it returns to Earth with Nardole inside it while leaving the Doctor and Bill on Mars in the Victorian era (\"Empress of Mars\"). In the series finale, \"World Enough and Time\"/\"The Doctor Falls\", the Doctor's crew and Missy react to a distress call on board a Mondasian ship, which results in Bill being shot through the heart and converted into a Cyberman, due to the machinations of Missy's past incarnation, the Master (John Simm). They escape the immediate clutches of the Cybermen due to Nardole commandeering a shuttle, which he pilots into higher levels of the colony ship. The ship is so large that several simulated countrysides exist within as solar farms, with dozens of villagers. In battle with the Cybermen, Nardole repeatedly proves his computer and combat talents, rigging powerful explosions throughout the countryside. When the Doctor realises that to defeat the Cybermen he must destroy a whole level of the ship, he instructs Nardole to take the villagers to safety on another floor. Nardole does so, unsure if he will ever see the Doctor again, and knowing that the Cybermen will one day return to convert the human population.

Yet that was not accepted by the Big Four, and following David Lloyd George's suggestion, the plebiscite was organized. Before it took place on 20 March 1921, two Silesian Insurrections instigated by Polish inhabitants of the area were organized. After the referendum, in which Poland had 41% of the votes, a plan of division was created that divided Upper Silesia. Following this, the Third Silesian Uprising took place. The Inter-Allied Commission on Upper Silesia, headed by the French general Henri Le Rond suggested a new plan for division of the area, which was prepared by an ambassadors commission in Paris on 20 October 1921. The division - which became effective by 20 June 1922 - still created a situation in which some rural territories that voted mostly for Poland were granted to Germany and some urban territories with a German majority were granted to Poland. The Polish Sejm decided that the eastern-most Upper Silesian areas should become an autonomous area within Poland organised as the Silesian Voivodeship and with Silesian Parliament as a constituency and Silesian Voivodeship Council as the executive body. The part of Silesia awarded to Poland was by far the best-developed and richest region of the newly formed state, producing most of Poland's industrial output. Consequently, to the division in 1922, the German-Polish Accord on East Silesia (Geneva Convention) was concluded on 15 May 1922 which dealt with the constitutional and legal future of Upper Silesia as it has partly became Polish territory.\n", "title": "East Upper Silesia", "pid": "p_981" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "In 205 BC, the First Macedonian War came to an end", "indices": [ 0, 50 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "The First Macedonian War (214\u2013205 BC)", "indices": [ 0, 37 ], "passage": "First Macedonian War" } ], "question_links": [ "First Macedonian War" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 60, "text": "214", "passage": "first macedonian war", "end": 63 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "When did the war that ended in 205 BC begin?", "qid": "q_2372" }, { "context": [ { "text": "In 205 BC, the First Macedonian War came to an end with the signing of the", "indices": [ 0, 74 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "The Greek political balance between Macedon under Philip V and the Aetolian League was upset by the war between Rome and Carthage.", "indices": [ 148, 278 ], "passage": "Treaty of Phoenice" } ], "question_links": [ "Treaty of Phoenice" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 230, "text": "Philip V and the Aetolian League", "passage": "treaty of phoenice", "end": 262 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "Who signed the document that ended the First Macedonian War?", "qid": "q_2373" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 15, 35 ], "target": "First Macedonian War" }, { "indices": [ 75, 93 ], "target": "Treaty of Phoenice" }, { "indices": [ 212, 220 ], "target": "Ancient Carthage" }, { "indices": [ 442, 450 ], "target": "Pergamon" }, { "indices": [ 480, 490 ], "target": "Anatolia" }, { "indices": [ 520, 527 ], "target": "Aetolia" }, { "indices": [ 587, 593 ], "target": "Rhodes" }, { "indices": [ 759, 763 ], "target": "Roman Republic" }, { "indices": [ 853, 860 ], "target": "Balkans" }, { "indices": [ 952, 961 ], "target": "Illyrians" }, { "indices": [ 1080, 1090 ], "target": "Aegean Sea" } ], "text": "In 205 BC, the First Macedonian War came to an end with the signing of the Treaty of Phoenice, under the terms of which the Macedonians were not allowed to expand westwards.

In 2012, The Guardian made a tongue-in-cheek reference to the severe criticism of the prior Games by inviting a Canadian journalist to similarly critique the Summer Olympics in London as the 'worst ever'.\n", "title": "Lawrence Donegan", "pid": "p_995" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "he studied at Padua and at Ferrara, where he received his doctorate in medicine", "indices": [ 16, 95 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Padua (; ; ) is a city and comune in Veneto, northern Italy", "indices": [ 0, 59 ], "passage": "Padua" } ], "question_links": [ "Padua", "Ferrara" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 73, "text": "Italy", "passage": "padua", "end": 78 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "What country did Commandino study in?", "qid": "q_2414" }, { "context": [ { "text": "He also translated the works of Aristarchus of Samos (On the sizes and distances of the Sun and the Moon), Pappus of Alexandria (Mathematical collection)", "indices": [ 414, 567 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "ristarchus of Samos\n\nAristarchus of Samos (; , Aristarkhos ho Samios; c. 310 \u2013 c. 230 BC) was an ancient Greek astronome", "indices": [ -21, 99 ], "passage": "Aristarchus of Samos" } ], "question_links": [ "Aristarchus of Samos", "Pappus of Alexandria" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 118, "text": "Greek ", "passage": "aristarchus of samos", "end": 124 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "What languages did Commandino translate the works fo Aristarchus of Samos and Pappus of Alexandria from?", "qid": "q_2415" }, { "context": [ { "text": "Among his pupils was Guidobaldo del Monte and Bernardino Baldi.", "indices": [ 718, 781 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Guidobaldo del Monte (11 January 1545 \u2013 6 January 1607, var.

Until the early 1920s, the chemical symbol \"Yt\" was used for the element, after which \"Y\" came into common use.

With Stevens' engineering experience (and likely the favor of Pierce yet again, as well as Secretary of War Jefferson Davis), he won the bid. His party, which included Dr. George Suckley, John Mullan and Fred Burr, son of David H. Burr, spent most of 1853 moving slowly across the prairie, surveying the way to Washington Territory. There Stevens met George McClellan's party, which had surveyed the line between the Puget Sound and the Spokane River.

He attended Hungarian-language primary school and gymnasium in Baia Mare from 1864 to 1871, earning top marks, and went to high school in the same town from 1872. In 1876, he graduated from high school in Cluj, where he studied for two years. He attended Franz Joseph University in the latter city, earning a doctorate in philosophy in 1881. His thesis, written in Hungarian, dealt with the work of Vasile Alecsandri, surveyed the Romanian literary context and included a dozen poems translated by Dulfu. After graduation, he moved to the Romanian Old Kingdom and worked as a teacher. After a brief stint in the capital Bucharest, he directed and taught at a school in Turnu Severin for the 1881-1882 year. Beginning in 1882, he again taught philosophy and later Romanian in Bucharest; one of the two schools where he worked was for girls. He came to know faculty colleague Ioan Slavici, as well as Mihail Eminescu, Alexandru Vlahu\u021b\u0103 and Bogdan Petriceicu Hasdeu. In 1886, he married Elena Mateescu, with whom he had four children and who encouraged his work as a writer. He obtained Romanian citizenship in 1891.

Although normally a disciplined teacher, he lost his composure on December 1, 1918, the day the union of Transylvania with Romania was proclaimed; cutting short the lesson and visibly moved, he explained the significance of the event to his pupils.

Even one of the sons of Khan Omurtag (r. 814\u2013831), Enravota, converted to Christianity. The Bulgarian nobility was strongly opposed to any form of Byzantine influence in the country and was therefore hostile to Christianity as it was directly associated with the Byzantine Empire. Boris I, however, had many reasons to consider conversion\u00a0\u2014 Bulgaria was situated between two powerful Christian empires, Byzantium and East Francia; Christian doctrine particularly favoured the position of the monarch as God's representative on Earth; and finally, Boris also saw Christianity as a way to overcome the differences between Bulgars and Slavs. The geopolitical situation in the mid 9th century was also favourable because of the increasing friction and rivalry between the Papacy in Rome and the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople for influence in Central Europe. That struggle between the two churches would give the Bulgarian ruler the opportunity to manoeuvre and negotiate with both, thus extracting favourable concessions while keeping the country out of direct foreign influence. When the Byzantines invaded Bulgaria in the autumn of 863 and demanded conversion to Christianity from Constantinople as the single condition to retreat, Boris I readily accepted and was baptised in the beginning of 864, assuming the Christian name Michael after his spiritual godfather, the Byzantine Emperor Michael III. That step was very unpopular among the nobility, but when they rebelled Boris I dealt decisively with them and executed 52 magnates along with their whole families. When in the following year the Byzantines sturdily demonstrated their determination not to allow the existence of an autocephalous Bulgarian Church, Boris I decided to turn to the Papacy.\n", "title": "Peter (diplomat)", "pid": "p_1028" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "In 2008, Tyga released his first studio album, No Introduction", "indices": [ 194, 256 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "It was released on June 10, 2008, by Decaydance Records,", "indices": [ 67, 123 ], "passage": "No Introduction" }, { "text": "Micheal Ray Stevenson (born November 19, 1989), ", "indices": [ 0, 48 ], "passage": "Tyga" } ], "question_links": [ "Tyga" ], "answer": { "answer_value": "19", "answer_unit": "years", "type": "value" }, "question": "How old was Tyga when No Introduction was released?", "qid": "q_2488" }, { "context": [ { "text": "Tyga and American singer Chris Brown released the collaborative mixtape Fan of a Fan", "indices": [ 499, 583 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Christopher Maurice Brown (born May 5, 1989)", "indices": [ 0, 44 ], "passage": "Chris Brown" }, { "text": "Micheal Ray Stevenson (born November 19, 1989),", "indices": [ 0, 47 ], "passage": "Tyga" } ], "question_links": [ "Chris Brown", "Tyga" ], "answer": { "answer_value": "no", "type": "binary" }, "question": "Are Tyga and the person he collaborated with for Fan of a Fan more than 10 years apart in age?", "qid": "q_2489" }, { "context": [ { "text": "collaborated with rapper Lil Wayne on the non-album single \"I'm on It\"", "indices": [ 856, 926 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Instead of a follow-up solo album, Lil Wayne reached his audience through a plethora of mixtapes and guest appearances on a variety of pop and hip-hop singles. Of his many mixtapes, Dedication 2 and Da Drought 3 received the most media exposure and critical review. Dedication 2, released in 2006, paired Lil Wayne with DJ Drama and contained the acclaimed socially conscious track \"Georgia Bush\", in which Lil Wayne critiqued former US president George W. Bush's response to the effects of Hurricane Katrina on the city of New Orleans. Da Drought 3 was released the following year and was available for free legal download. It contained Lil Wayne rapping over a variety of beats from recent hits by other musicians. A number of prominent hip-hop magazines such as XXL and Vibe covered the mixtape. Christian Hoard of Rolling Stone magazine considered the mixtapes Da Drought 3 and The Drought Is Over 2 (The Carter 3 Sessions) \"among the best albums of 2007.\"\n\nDespite no album release for two years, Lil Wayne appeared in numerous singles as a featured performer, including \"Gimme That\" by Chris Brown, \"Make It Rain\" by Fat Joe, \"You\" by Lloyd, and \"We Takin' Over\" by DJ Khaled (also featuring Akon, T.I., Rick Ross, Fat Joe, and Birdman), \"Duffle Bag Boy\" by Playaz Circle, \"Sweetest Girl (Dollar Bill)\" by Wyclef Jean (also featuring Akon), and the remix to \"I'm So Hood\" by DJ Khaled (also featuring T-Pain, Young Jeezy, Ludacris, Busta Rhymes, Big Boi, Fat Joe, Birdman, and Rick Ross). All these singles charted within the top 20 spots on the Billboard Hot 100, Hot Rap Tracks, and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts. On Birdman's 2007 album 5 * Stunna, Lil Wayne appeared on the singles \"100 Million\" and \"I Run This\" among several other tracks. Wayne also appeared on tracks from albums Getback by Little Brother, American Gangster by Jay-Z, and Graduation by Kanye West and Insomniac by Enrique Iglesias. \"Make it Rain\", a Scott Storch production that peaked at number 13 on the Hot 100 and number two on the Hot Rap Tracks chart, was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group for 2008.\n\nVibe magazine ranked a list of 77 of Lil Wayne's songs from 2007 and ranked his verse in DJ Khaled's \"We Takin Over\" as his best of 2007, with \"Dough Is What I Got\" (a freestyle over the beat of Jay-Z's \"Show Me What You Got\") from Da Drought 3 the second song. At the end of 2007, an MTV poll selected Lil Wayne as \"Hottest MC in the Game\", The New Yorker magazine ranked him \"Rapper of the Year\", and GQ magazine named him \"Workaholic of the Year\". In 2008 he was named \"Best MC\" by Rolling Stone.

Since the Abbey was an Imperial Abbey, the administrator and the landholders on the Abbey's land had immunity from the local count's court and could only be arrested or tried by the Abbey court. At the beginning of the 14th century the bailiwick and the low court of the local Barons of Ruti. Between 1314 and 1370 both offices were held by the Count of Signau and after 1371 by the Count of Gr\u00fcnenberg. The Gr\u00fcnenberg Counts incorporated the village into their personal territory. Hermann of Eptingen then acquired the rule over the village by marriage. He supported the Austrian Habsburgs in the Old Z\u00fcrich War (1440\u201346) and lost the village to a Bernese army. After the war, the village was returned to his wife in 1449. In 1504 Bern bought the entire village from Hermann's decedents. In 1505 the village was incorporated into the bailiwick of Wangen. However, Rohrbach retained several special privileges. They were exempt from forced labor for the bailiff and in wars they marched under the banner of the city of Bern. After the 1798 French invasion it was part of the District of Langenthal in the Helvetic Republic and in 1803 it went to the District of Aarwangen.\n", "title": "Rohrbach, Switzerland", "pid": "p_1035" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "The Ulaid are most often in conflict with the Connachta, led by their queen", "indices": [ 226, 301 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Medb and Ailill had seven sons, all called Maine.", "indices": [ 4307, 4356 ], "passage": "Medb" } ], "question_links": [ "Medb" ], "answer": { "answer_value": "yes", "type": "binary" }, "question": "Does the queen of Connachta have any children?", "qid": "q_2507" }, { "context": [ { "text": "Medb raises an enormous army to invade the Cooley peninsula and steal the Ulaid's prize bull", "indices": [ 509, 601 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Cooley Peninsula" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "What city or town does the bull live in?", "qid": "q_2508" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 65, 84 ], "target": "Conchobar mac Nessa" }, { "indices": [ 111, 122 ], "target": "Navan Fort" }, { "indices": [ 144, 150 ], "target": "Armagh" }, { "indices": [ 213, 224 ], "target": "C\u00fa Chulainn" }, { "indices": [ 272, 281 ], "target": "Connachta" }, { "indices": [ 303, 307 ], "target": "Medb" }, { "indices": [ 322, 328 ], "target": "Ailill mac M\u00e1ta" }, { "indices": [ 345, 361 ], "target": "Fergus mac R\u00f3ich" }, { "indices": [ 457, 473 ], "target": "T\u00e1in B\u00f3 C\u00faailnge" }, { "indices": [ 552, 568 ], "target": "Cooley Peninsula" }, { "indices": [ 603, 616 ], "target": "Donn Cuailnge" }, { "indices": [ 692, 708 ], "target": "T\u00e1in B\u00f3 Flidhais" }, { "indices": [ 885, 892 ], "target": "Deirdre" }, { "indices": [ 913, 924 ], "target": "W.

Even basic information is subject to uncertainty and controversy. Born at Torquemada, Palencia, north central Spain, at an unknown date before 1566 (Miguel Le\u00f3n-Portilla argues in detail for 1562) he was brought by his parents to New Spain probably while still a child. He took the Franciscan habit, as is generally agreed, in 1579, and pursued a course of studies in Latin, theology, philosophy and Nahuatl. Brief notices in his own works put him at the convent in Tlacopan in 1582 and (while still a youth) at the convent in Chiauhtla - the presumption being that these relate to his novitiate. It is uncertain if he began his studies at the convento mayor de San Francisco in Mexico City, but it is presumed that part at least of his studies were conducted while resident at the convent of Santiago, Tlatelolco. Among his teachers he names fray Juan Bautista (who taught him theology) and Antonio Valeriano (who taught him Nahuatl and whom he especially praised for his talents).

For supporting sails, halyards (sometimes haulyards), are used to raise sails and control luff tension. On gaff-rigged vessels, topping lifts hold the yards across the top of the sail aloft. Sail shape is usually controlled by lines that pull at the corners of the sail, including the outhaul at the clew and the downhaul at the tack on fore-and-aft rigs.

The swan with the crown and chain is especially associated with Lancastrian use; it echoes the crown and chain of Richard II's white hart, which he began to use as a livery badge from 1390. As well as several of his own white hart badges, Richard's treasure roll of 1397 also includes a swan badge with a gold chain, perhaps presented by one of his enemies mentioned above: \"Item, a gold swan enamelled white with a little gold chain hanging around the neck, weighing 2 oz., value, 46s. 8d\". He declared to Parliament that he had exchanged liveries with his uncles as a sign of amity at various moments of reconciliation.\n", "title": "Dunstable Swan Jewel", "pid": "p_1089" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "When Rafiq Hariri drew up plans to rebuild a war-shattered Lebanon,", "indices": [ 27, 94 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": " Baha El Deen Al Hariri (; 1 November 1944", "indices": [ 5, 47 ], "passage": "Rafic Hariri" } ], "question_links": [ "Rafic Hariri" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 69, "text": "1944", "passage": "rafic hariri", "end": 73 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "What year was the man born who drew up plans to rebuild a war-shattered Lebanon?", "qid": "q_2649" }, { "context": [ { "text": "While US tanks were still rolling towards Baghdad in March 2003", "indices": [ 297, 360 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Baghdad (; ) is the capital of Iraq", "indices": [ 0, 35 ], "passage": "Baghdad" } ], "question_links": [ "Baghdad" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 52, "text": "Iraq", "passage": "baghdad", "end": 56 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "What country were US tanks still rolling toward in March of 2003?", "qid": "q_2650" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 32, 44 ], "target": "Rafic Hariri" }, { "indices": [ 86, 93 ], "target": "Lebanon" }, { "indices": [ 167, 174 ], "target": "Muammar Gaddafi" }, { "indices": [ 206, 225 ], "target": "Great Man-Made River" }, { "indices": [ 339, 346 ], "target": "Baghdad" }, { "indices": [ 387, 397 ], "target": "Washington, D.C." }, { "indices": [ 507, 515 ], "target": "DP World" }, { "indices": [ 518, 521 ], "target": "Initial public offering" }, { "indices": [ 556, 560 ], "target": "OPEC" }, { "indices": [ 637, 649 ], "target": "Saudi Arabia" }, { "indices": [ 680, 695 ], "target": "Jeddah Tower" }, { "indices": [ 699, 705 ], "target": "Jeddah" }, { "indices": [ 765, 772 ], "target": "Nakheel Properties" }, { "indices": [ 836, 849 ], "target": "Nakheel Tower" }, { "indices": [ 902, 907 ], "target": "Emaar Properties" }, { "indices": [ 910, 922 ], "target": "Burj Khalifa" } ], "text": "MEED was launched in 1957.

It acquired an additional strategic importance in the 17th century as a Royalist military base. Charles I ordered a fort to be built at Pill by Royalist forces and completed in 1643 to prevent Parliamentarian forces from landing at Pembroke Castle and to protect Royalist forces landing from Ireland. On 23 February 1644, a Parliamentarian force led by Rowland Laugharne crossed the Haven and landed at Pill. The fort was gunned from both land and water, and a garrison was placed in Steynton church to prevent a Royalist attack from the garrison at Haverfordwest. The fort was eventually surrendered, and quickly taken, along with St Thomas a Becket chapel.

Like most other Amanita species, A.\u00a0abrupta is thought to form mycorrhizal relationships with trees. This is a mutually beneficial relationship where the hyphae of the fungus grow around the roots of trees, enabling the fungus to receive moisture, protection and nutritive byproducts of the tree, and affording the tree greater access to soil nutrients. Amanita abrupta is widely distributed throughout eastern North America, where it has been found as far north as Quebec, Canada, and as far south as Mexico. Orson K.

It has been argued in media philosophy that not only low-payed clickwork (e.g. on Amazon Mechanical Turk) is regularly deployed for this purpose, but also implicit forms of human microwork that are often not recognized as such. The philosopher Rainer M\u00fchlhoff distinguishes five types of \"machinic capture\" of human microwork to generate training data: (1) gamification (the embedding of annotation or computation tasks in the flow of a game), (2) \"trapping and tracking\" (e.g. CAPTCHAs for image recognition or click-tracking on Google search results pages), (3) exploitation of social motivations (e.g. tagging faces on Facebook to obtain labeled facial images), (4) information mining (e.g. by leveraging quantified-self devices such as activity trackers) and (5) clickwork. M\u00fchlhoff argues that in most commercial end-user applications of Deep Learning such as Facebook's face recognition system, the need for training data does not stop once an ANN is trained. Rather, there is a continued demand for human-generated verification data\u00a0to constantly calibrate and update the ANN. For this purpose Facebook introduced the feature that once a user is automatically recognized in an image, they receive a notification. They can choose whether of not they like to be publicly labeled on the image, or tell Facebook that it is not them in the picture. This user interface is a mechanism to generate \"a constant stream of\u00a0 verification data\" to further train the network in real-time. As M\u00fchlhoff argues, involvement of human users to generate training and verification data is so typical for most commercial end-user applications of Deep Learning that such systems may be referred to as \"human-aided artificial intelligence\". \u00a0\n", "title": "Deep learning", "pid": "p_1107" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "Born in Newport, Rhode Island, Derow", "indices": [ 0, 36 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Newport was founded in 1639", "indices": [ 1173, 1200 ], "passage": "Newport, Rhode Island" } ], "question_links": [ "Rhode Island" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 1231, "text": "1639 ", "passage": "newport, rhode island", "end": 1236 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "In what year was the city in which Derow was born founded?", "qid": "q_2690" }, { "context": [ { "text": "Derow obtained his secondary education at The Roxbury Latin School", "indices": [ 31, 97 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "The Roxbury Latin School, which was founded in Roxbury, Massachusetts, by the Rev.

He later wrote such titles as Marc Spector: Moon Knight, Avengers: Timeslide, X-Man and X-Universe. In Web of Spider-Man #100 (May 1993), Kavanagh and artist Alex Saviuk gave the lead character \"Spider-Armor\". He wrote the Spider-Man/Punisher/Sabretooth: Designer Genes one-shot the following month. Kavanagh was one of the writers on the \"Maximum Carnage\" storyline which ran through the various Spider-Man titles in 1993. The first Black Cat limited series was co-written by Kavanagh and Joey Cavalieri in 1994. Kavanagh pitched a storyline involving the return of Spider-Man's clone, which then formed the basis of the \"Clone Saga\" which began in Web of Spider-Man #117 (Oct. 1994).

At the beginning of the 1980s Gerdes stood out in exhibitions and actions with his criticism of the link between modern art, the museum and the temporary exhibition. At this time he exhibited among others along with Thomas Sch\u00fctte. He pleaded for works of art as a means for the organization of public space and as a medium of communication. The English landscape garden was a particularly important historical model of this to him. At this time he was regarded as the intellectual head of the artist-group of D\u00fcsseldorf pattern makers (D\u00fcsseldorfer Modellbauer). In 1982 he was included in the documenta 7 in Kassel. He became known to a larger public in 1987 with his land art project A Ship for M\u00fcnster (Ein Schiff f\u00fcr M\u00fcnster) for the show \"Skulptur.Projekte\" in M\u00fcnster.

Bianca Grace of Idolator noted that the performance \"will have you repenting your weekend sins, as the singer emotionally sings the tune.\" \"Devil Pray\" was performed on Madonna's 2015\u201316 Rebel Heart Tour. Following the Last Supper-themed mashup performance of \"Holy Water\" and \"Vogue\", Madonna climbed down to the center stage to perform \"Devil Pray\"; during the performance she straddled one of her male dancers, who was dressed as a priest, and engaged in a dance-off with other dancers.

Boy\", released in 1995 and peaked #5 in Austria, later in June 1996, both members left the band, due to a disagreement between Leigh and producer Brandes, who were quickly replaced by artists Jeane (Jeanette Macchi-Meier) and briefly Terence D'Arby (not to be confused with Terence Trent D'Arby), who himself again was replaced by Ch\u00e9 Jouaner. Thus it has been later revealed, that Brandes was the rapper on all E-Rotic releases, except on the first album, where he shared raps with Raz-Ma-Taz, such on \"Take My Love\", and Leigh still had to continue to provide vocal work for E-Rotic's four follow up studio albums The Power of Sex, Sexual Madness, the Abba cover album Thank You for the Music until 1999 to the Kiss Me studio album due to her contract. Also, raps on their first single \"Max Don't Have Sex With Your Ex\" were not done by Smith or Brandes, but instead were done by Marcus Thomas (aka Deon Blue) who would later join Pharao. Meanwhile, Leigh, alongside Raz-Ma-Taz, formed her own band S.E.X. Appeal in 1996. \"He promised me a lot of things during my E-Rotic time, but never was willing to keep his promises. One of these promises was to produce a mixed video, with both cartoon and real people. We were never shown in the videos and so we had problems with our concerts, cause no-one really knew us as persons,\" Leigh revealed. On 27 June 1996, the group's second studio album The Power of Sex was released, preceded by the latter mentioned lead single \"Willy Use a Billy... Boy\" and followed by the singles \"Help Me Dr. Dick\", \"Fritz Love My Tits\" and \"Gimme Good Sex\", all becoming moderate chart hits, peaking at #18, #16 and #3 in Austria respectively. In 1996, E-Rotic were featured in the supergroup, called \"Love Message\", on the same titled, Masterboy-produced charity single \"Love Message\". They also appeared on the Queen tribute compilation album Queen Dance Traxx, with the song \"Who Wants to Live Forever\", which also saw a promotional release. The tribute album also featured another Queen song \"We Are The Champions\", recorded with all artists, who participated on Queen Dance Traxx as a supergroup labeled as \"Acts United\". In 1997, the studio albums \"Sexual Madness\" and the Abba cover CD Thank You for the Music was released with its single releases \"Turn Me On\", which peaked at #7 in Finland, \"Thank You for the Music\" and \"The Winner Takes It All\". The album Thank You for the Music was released under the artist name \"Jenn and C.\" in France. Ironically the music video for \"Gimme Good Sex\" was also the first one, not being a comic video, but still it never aired and was banned from music channels because of being too controversial for its sexual content, thus Leigh, alongside Raz-Ma-Taz, left the band earlier, because she wanted to be shown in music videos.\n", "title": "E-Rotic", "pid": "p_1149" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "He received his bachelor's degree in biology and chemistry from Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, in 1958.

However, over the colonial period, the Totonac population and territory shrank, especially after 1750 when mestizos began infiltrating Totonacapan, taking political and economic power.

Corino soon turned face and introduced his ally Jimmy Jacobs, both claiming that they were good people that could reach out to Steen, and asked ROH for a second chance for Steen. However, Steen, who wanted to redeem himself but was opposed by ROH and its security that came to evict him from the building, ended up turning on Corino upon his return at Best in the World 2011 on June 26, sparking a revolt against ROH which fell into conflict with Executive Producer Jim Cornette, who vowed to rid the company of Steen.

Congress elected an interim-executive officer and vested this figure with the title of President. Chosen to be first President of Colombia, was General Sim\u00f3n Bol\u00edvar y Palacios, leader of the revolutionary forces, who up to that point was titled \"Supreme Chief\" for his role in the revolution. The following day, Congress elected Francisco Antonio Zea D\u00edaz, first Vice President of Colombia.

After failing to find a unique arrangement of polygons that fit known astronomical observations (even with extra planets added to the system), Kepler began experimenting with 3-dimensional polyhedra. He found that each of the five Platonic solids could be inscribed and circumscribed by spherical orbs; nesting these solids, each encased in a sphere, within one another would produce six layers, corresponding to the six known planets\u2014Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. By ordering the solids selectively\u2014octahedron, icosahedron, dodecahedron, tetrahedron, cube\u2014Kepler found that the spheres could be placed at intervals corresponding to the relative sizes of each planet's path, assuming the planets circle the Sun. Kepler also found a formula relating the size of each planet's orb to the length of its orbital period: from inner to outer planets, the ratio of increase in orbital period is twice the difference in orb radius.

Coffin tackled this problem by constructing a one-mile tramline which connected his mines in Dinas to a tramline built by Dr. Richard Griffiths at Denia (Pontypridd), which linked to a private canal that joined onto the Glamorganshire Canal at Treforest. Coffins tramline followed the southern bank of the River Rhondda and ran through Porth. The existence of the tramline made the development of the Porth and Cymmer region far more attractive, and by the middle of the 19th century there was an impetus to expand coal mining in the area. In 1841 Richard Lewis joined Coffin in trying to exploit the region with his level built at Cymmer. This resulted in the construction of around fifty miners' cottages, several of which were located in Porth. In 1844 Lewis Edwards of Newport and George Gethin of Penygraig opened a small level at Nyth-bran on the eastern borders of Porth, the villages' first coal mine. This was followed in 1845 by the sinking of the Porth Colliery by David James of Merthyr, the success of which saw him build the Llwyncelyn Colliery in 1951, also in Porth. By 1850 the Taff Vale Railway had been extended to Cymmer replacing the tramline, allowing direct access between the lower Rhondda and the ports of Cardiff.\n", "title": "Porth", "pid": "p_1188" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "In 2007, Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) licensed the patents describing the technology and in 2014 released the MinION nanopore sequencing device to selected researchers.", "indices": [ 1864, 2038 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "The company was founded in 2005", "indices": [ 235, 266 ], "passage": "Oxford Nanopore Technologies" } ], "question_links": [ "Oxford Nanopore Technologies" ], "answer": { "answer_value": "2", "answer_unit": "years", "type": "value" }, "question": "How long had Oxford Nanopore Technologies been in business by the year that it released the MinION nanopore sequencing device to selected researchers?", "qid": "q_2876" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 64, 83 ], "target": "Electron microscope" }, { "indices": [ 293, 305 ], "target": "Alec Bangham" }, { "indices": [ 343, 352 ], "target": "Liposome" }, { "indices": [ 1360, 1369 ], "target": "Hemolysin" }, { "indices": [ 1436, 1455 ], "target": "Nanopore sequencing" }, { "indices": [ 1775, 1783 ], "target": "Nanopore" }, { "indices": [ 1873, 1901 ], "target": "Oxford Nanopore Technologies" }, { "indices": [ 1987, 2006 ], "target": "Nanopore sequencing" }, { "indices": [ 2102, 2108 ], "target": "Oxford Nanopore Technologies" }, { "indices": [ 2239, 2258 ], "target": "Nanopore sequencing" }, { "indices": [ 2287, 2314 ], "target": "Third-generation sequencing" } ], "text": "As a young professor at UC Davis, Deamer continued to work with electron microscopy, revealing for the first time particles related to functional ATPase enzymes within the membranes of sarcoplasmic reticulum. After spending sabbaticals in England at the University of Bristol in 1971 and with Alec Bangham in 1975, Deamer became interested in liposomes. Conversations with Bangham inspired his research on the role of membranes in the origin of life, and in 1985 Deamer demonstrated that the Murchison carbonaceous meteorite contained lipid-like compounds that could assemble into membranous vesicles. Deamer described the significance of self-assembly processes in his 2011 book First Life. In collaborative work with Mark Akeson, a post-doctoral student at the time, the two established methods for monitoring proton permeation through ion channels such as gramicidin. In 1989, while returning from a scientific meeting in Oregon, Deamer conceived that it might be possible to sequence single molecules of DNA by using an imposed voltage to pull them individually through a nanoscopic channel. The DNA sequence could be distinguished by the specific modulating effect of the four bases on the ionic current through the channel. In 1993, he and Dan Branton initiated a research collaboration with John Kasianowitz at NIST to explore this possibility with the hemolysin channel, and in 1996 published the first paper demonstrating that nanopore sequencing may be feasible. George Church at Harvard had independently proposed a similar idea, and Church, Branton and Deamer decided to initiate a patent application which was awarded in 1998. Mark Akeson joined the research effort in 1997, and in 1999 published a paper showing that the hemolysin channel, now referred to as a nanopore, could distinguish between purine and pyrimidine bases in single RNA molecules. In 2007, Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) licensed the patents describing the technology and in 2014 released the MinION nanopore sequencing device to selected researchers. The first publications appeared in 2015, one of which used the MinION to sequence E. coli DNA with 99.4% accuracy relative to the established 5.4 million base pair genome. Despite earlier skepticism, nanopore sequencing is now accepted as a viable third generation sequencing method. The original 1996 paper has been cited over 2000 times in the scientific literature, and in 2017, twenty one years later, a Google search for nanopore sequencing returned 226,000 results.\n", "title": "David W.

Farouk was forced to abdicate in favor of his infant son Ahmed-Fuad who became King Fuad II, while administration of the country passed to the Free Officers Movement under Muhammad Naguib and Gamal Abdel Nasser. The infant king's reign lasted less than a year and on June 18, 1953, the revolutionaries abolished the monarchy and declared Egypt a republic, ending a century and a half of the Muhammad Ali Dynasty's rule. Emerging victorious from a war-triangle (Ottomans, Mamluks, and his loyal troops), Mehmed Ali made good use of Albanian irregulars services as mercenaries and troops to bolster his reign. Albanian mercenaries, or Arnauts, presented the backbone of Ali's army and were known as elite and undisciplined soldiers of the Ottoman Empire armies. With the rise of Muhammad Ali in power, many of them would settle in Egypt and serve there. By 1815, the number of Albanian military was over 7000. Albanian troops partook in the war against the Wahhabi movement in Arabia (1811\u201318) and in the conquest of the Sudan (1820\u201324). The number of Albanian troops would diminish in 1823, when Ibrahim Pasha, Ali's son, would join the Ottoman armies in the Greek War of Independence along with circa 17,000 men, many of them Albanians.

In an analysis of weather patterns from June\u00a01957, Weather Bureau meteorologist William H. Klein noted the potential for research on similar disturbances to shed light on tropical cyclone development. Concurrently, surface observations suggested the progression of a disorganized tropical wave tracking westward across the Caribbean Sea beginning on June\u00a020, eventually entering the Bay of Campeche on June\u00a022. At 12:00\u00a0UTC on June\u00a024 (7:00\u00a0a.m. CST), the resulting disturbance organized into a tropical depression based on ship reports in the bay; at the time, the first indication of a developing tropical cyclone originated from a report from a shrimp boat. The depression was in a highly favorable environment for intensification in the western Gulf of Mexico; sea surface temperatures in the area were at , or 3\u00a0\u00b0F (2\u00a0\u00b0C) above normal for the time of year. In addition, the latitudinal alignment of a polar trough over the Great Plains and the nascent disturbance in the Bay of Campeche created an environment suitable for outflow in the upper-levels of the atmosphere.

Bleach was highly influenced by the heavy dirge-rock of the Melvins and Mudhoney, 1980s punk rock, and the 1970s heavy metal of Black Sabbath. Novoselic said in a 2001 interview with Rolling Stone that the band had played a tape in their van while on tour that had an album by The Smithereens on one side and an album by the extreme metal band Celtic Frost on the other, and noted that the combination probably played an influence as well. The money for the recording sessions for Bleach, listed as $606.17 on the album sleeve, was supplied by Jason Everman, who was subsequently brought into the band as the second guitarist. Though Everman did not actually play on the album, he received a credit on Bleach because, according to Novoselic, they \"wanted to make him feel more at home in the band\".

After recovering from his injury El Oriental participated in the 2002 Rey de Reyes tournament, but was eliminated by Cibern\u00e9tico in the opening round. At Triplemania X he was one of six wrestlers who participated in the main event. Each of the six wrestlers bet the hair of a referee on the outcome of the match. El Oriental represented referee Hijo del Tirantes in the match, but was not involved in the finish of the match as Heavy Metal pinned Sangre Chicana. Between late 2002 and mid-2003 El Oriental suffered various injuries that kept him out of the ring for long stretches of time. At the 2003 Guerra de Titanes Cynthia Moreno, El Oriental, Mascarita Sagrada and Pimpinela Escarlata defeated Faby Apache, Gran Apache, Mini Abismo Negro and Polvo de Estrellas in a Relevos At\u00f3micos de locura match (Spanish for \"Eight-man madness match\"), a match that featured two teams of four, each composed of a male wrestler, a female wrestler, an Ex\u00f3tico wrestler and a Mini-Estrella In the mid-2004 El Oriental's sister Cynthia started a storyline feud with the Apache family, primarily Faby Apache and Gran Apache that would last until 2009. On August 1, 2004 Cynthia and El Ori\u00e9ntal unsuccessfully challenged for the AAA World Mixed Tag Team Championship, losing to Gran Apache and Faby Apache. The teams would subsequently clash on several occasions, with the Apaches managing to retain the mixed titles each time. In 2005 the Apaches were forced to vacate the Mixed tag team titles, after which AAA held a tournament to crown new champions. Cynthia and El Ori\u00e9ntal defeated Gran Apache and Tiffany in the semi-final and then defeated Chessman and La Diab\u00f3lica in a one night tournament at Verano de Escandalo to become the new AAA World Mixed Tag Team Champions. Over the next 779 days Cynthia and El Ori\u00e9ntal would repeatedly defend the Mixed tag team titles, including defending them on various independent shows. Their reign would come to an end in November, 2007 when they were forced to vacate the championship when Cynthia suffered an injury and was unable to defend the titles. While Cynthia was recuperating from an injury Gran Apache and Mari Apache won the vacant title as well as turning t\u00e9cnicos (good guys) in the process. When Cynthia returned to the ring she and her brother turned rudo (bad guy) when they attacked Gran and Mari Apache after a successful title defense. At the 2008 Verano de Escandalo Oriental and Cynthia Apache regained the AAA World Mix Tag Team Championship from the Apaches, making them the only team to have held the title twice. The Dinastia Moreno's second reign with the tag team titles turned out to be as active as their first, in fact El Oriental once claimed they defended the titles around 150 times, although records do not support such a claim. In mid-2009 Cynthia began appearing less and less on AAA shows, leaving El Oriental free to team up with Kenzo Suzuki and Sugi San to form a trio called La Yakuza, after the Japanese Mafia. The team started out with a series of victories, but were defeated by Los Psycho Circus at the 2009 Verano de Escandalo. Following the event Sugi San left AAA and La Yakuza disbanded.

They include Bloom's fiance Sky; Stella's fiance Brandon; Flora's boyfriend Helia; Tecna's boyfriend Timmy; and Musa's boyfriend Riven. Unlike their female counterparts, the Specialists do not have magical powers and instead train how to fight using laser weapons. The Winx and Specialists' most frequent adversaries are a trio of witches named the Trix: Icy, Darcy, and Stormy, all of whom are former students of the Cloud Tower school.\n", "title": "Winx Club", "pid": "p_1245" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "In August 1982 he joined Bruce Rioch's Torquay United on non-contract terms following his return to the UK.", "indices": [ 0, 107 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Torquay United F.C." ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "What other players were on the same team as Gallagher in 1982?", "qid": "q_3006" }, { "context": [ { "text": "He moved on to join Irish side Drogheda United, helping them defeat Athlone Town 3\u20131 at Tolka Park on 5 January 1984 to lift the League of Ireland Cup.", "indices": [ 519, 670 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Drogheda United F.C.", "Athlone Town A.F.C." ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "Which team had the better record on 5 January 1984 - Gallagher's team, or their opponent?", "qid": "q_3007" }, { "context": [ { "text": "He was loaned to both Wisbech Town and Kettering Town during the following season before being released in September 1989", "indices": [ 1152, 1273 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Wisbech Town F.C.", "Kettering Town F.C." ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "Of the two teams Gallagher was loaned to in 1989, which had more wins that year?", "qid": "q_3008" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 25, 36 ], "target": "Bruce Rioch" }, { "indices": [ 39, 53 ], "target": "Torquay United F.C." }, { "indices": [ 417, 429 ], "target": "Wisbech Town F.C." }, { "indices": [ 450, 473 ], "target": "Eastern Counties Football League" }, { "indices": [ 485, 499 ], "target": "Tiptree United F.C." }, { "indices": [ 550, 565 ], "target": "Drogheda United F.C." }, { "indices": [ 587, 599 ], "target": "Athlone Town A.F.C." }, { "indices": [ 607, 617 ], "target": "Tolka Park" }, { "indices": [ 648, 669 ], "target": "League of Ireland Cup" }, { "indices": [ 930, 953 ], "target": "Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C." }, { "indices": [ 1002, 1010 ], "target": "Molineux Stadium" }, { "indices": [ 1046, 1056 ], "target": "Steve Bull" }, { "indices": [ 1061, 1071 ], "target": "Andy Mutch" }, { "indices": [ 1089, 1096 ], "target": "Wembley Stadium (1923)" }, { "indices": [ 1121, 1138 ], "target": "1987\u201388 Associate Members' Cup" }, { "indices": [ 1174, 1186 ], "target": "Wisbech Town F.C." }, { "indices": [ 1191, 1205 ], "target": "Kettering Town F.C." }, { "indices": [ 1287, 1297 ], "target": "National League (English football)" }, { "indices": [ 1303, 1316 ], "target": "Boston United F.C." } ], "text": "In August 1982 he joined Bruce Rioch's Torquay United on non-contract terms following his return to the UK.

It increased the optical resolution of ground-based telescopes, allowing for more precise measurements of Betelgeuse's photosphere. With improvements in infrared telescopy atop Mount Wilson, Mount Locke and Mauna Kea in Hawaii, astrophysicists began peering into the complex circumstellar shells surrounding the supergiant, causing them to suspect the presence of huge gas bubbles resulting from convection. But it was not until the late 1980s and early 1990s, when Betelgeuse became a regular target for aperture masking interferometry, that breakthroughs occurred in visible-light and infrared imaging. Pioneered by John E. Baldwin and colleagues of the Cavendish Astrophysics Group, the new technique employed a small mask with several holes in the telescope pupil plane, converting the aperture into an ad-hoc interferometric array. The technique contributed some of the most accurate measurements of Betelgeuse while revealing bright spots on the star's photosphere. These were the first optical and infrared images of a stellar disk other than the Sun, taken first from ground-based interferometers and later from higher-resolution observations of the COAST telescope. The \"bright patches\" or \"hotspots\" observed with these instruments appeared to corroborate a theory put forth by Schwarzschild decades earlier of massive convection cells dominating the stellar surface.\n", "title": "Betelgeuse", "pid": "p_1247" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "WQXL switched to country music in the summer of 1966", "indices": [ 621, 673 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "WNOK 1230 AM signed on January 1, 1947", "indices": [ 408, 446 ], "passage": "WPCO" } ], "question_links": [ "WPCO" ], "answer": { "answer_value": "19", "answer_unit": "years", "type": "value" }, "question": "How many years had WNOK been operating when WQXL switched to country music?", "qid": "q_3011" }, { "context": [ { "text": "1230 WNOK and 1400 WCOS, which each had full-time signals.

After 1989, both state's policies in Afghanistan became even more divergent as Pakistan, under Benazir Bhutto, explicitly supported Taliban forces in Afghanistan. This resulted in a major breach, with Iran becoming closer to India. Pakistan's support for the Sunni Taliban organisation in Afghanistan became a problem for Shia Iran which opposed a Taliban-controlled Afghanistan. The Pakistani backed Taliban fought the Iranian backed Northern Alliance in Afghanistan and gained control of 90 percent of that country. As noted by a Pakistani foreign service officer, it was difficult to maintain good relations with Israel, Saudi Arabia, the United States, and Iran at the same time, given Iran's long history of rivalry with these states. In 1995 Bhutto paid a lengthy state visit to Iran, which greatly relaxed relations. At a public meeting she spoke highly of Iran and Iranian society. However, increasing activity by Shia militants in Pakistan strained relations further. This was followed by the Taliban's capture of the city of Mazar-i-Sharif in 1998, in which thousands of Shias were massacred, according to Amnesty International. The most serious breach in relations came in 1998, after Iran accused Taliban Afghanistan of taking 11 Iranian diplomats, 35 Iranian truck drivers and an Iranian journalist hostage, and later killing them all. Iran massed over 300,000 troops on the Afghan border and threatened to attack the Taliban government, which it had never recognized.

Hannah is discovered by Robert Dudley and John Dee and subsequently begged as a fool to Edward VI. She witnesses and becomes caught up the intrigues of the young king's court, and later those of his sisters. As Mary, Elizabeth, and Robert Dudley use Hannah to gather information on their rivals and further their own aims, the novel can plausibly present each side in the complex story. The Queen's Fool follows Hannah from ages fourteen to nineteen, and her coming-of-age is interspersed among the historical narrative (see Bildungsroman).

American troops defeated a poorly executed British assault on New Orleans in slightly more than 30 minutes, despite the British having a large advantage in training, experience, and fielded troops. The Americans suffered roughly 250 casualties, while the British suffered roughly 2,000.", "indices": [ 0, 776 ], "passage": "Battle of New Orleans" }, { "text": "\n\nThe Battle of Lake Borgne was a battle between the Royal Navy and Royal Marines on one side and the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marines on the other in the American South theatre of the War of 1812. It occurred on December 14, 1814 on Lake Borgne, and allowed the British to assault New Orleans ten days later.\n\nBackground.The defeat of the British attack in September on Fort Bowyer prevented the British from taking Mobile, Alabama, and moving to cut off U.S. trade via land towards the Mississippi River. Next, the British decided to attack New Orleans and the Americans began receiving warnings of a British fleet approaching Louisiana. The warnings reached Commodore Daniel Patterson of the New Orleans Squadron, who immediately began to assemble any and all types of naval defenses to protect the state's waterways and naval ports.\n\nWhen the British forces under Admiral Alexander Cochrane arrived off the Louisiana coast on December 9, Patterson dispatched Lieutenant Thomas ap Catesby Jones and a small flotilla to patrol Lake Borgne. The American force consisted of five Jeffersonian gunboats - No. 156, No. 163, No. 5, No. 23, and No. 162 - the schooner USS Sea Horse with Sailing-Master Johnson commanding, and two sloops-of-war, USS Alligator and USS Tickler, serving as tenders. Gunboat No. 156, the flagship of the squadron, mounted one long 24-pounder, four 12-pounder carronades, and four swivel guns. She had a crew of forty-one men. In all, the squadron comprised 245 men, sixteen long guns, fourteen carronades, two howitzers and twelve swivel guns.\n\nVice Admiral Sir Alexander Cochrane, British Commander-in-Chief of the North American Station, ordered HMS Seahorse, Armide and Sophie from Pensacola to Lake Borgne. They were to proceed to the Bayou Catalan, or De Pecheurs, at the head of the lake and 60 mi from the troopship anchorage. This was to be the disembarkation point for the attack on New Orleans.\n\nThe three British vessels reported that as they passed Cat Island, Mississippi, two American gunboats had fired at them. Furthermore, lookouts on the masts had seen three more. When the fleet arrived on December 11, Cochrane decided to hunt out the Americans.\n\nCochrane put all the boats of the British fleet under the command of Commander Nicholas Lockyer of Sophie, with orders to find and defeat the American flotilla. The boats came from Tonnant, Norge, Bedford, Royal Oak, Ramillies, Armide, Cydnus, Seahorse, Trave, Sophie, Belle Poule, Gorgon, Manly and Meteor. The British deployed forty-two longboats, launches and barges with one 12, 18 or 24 pounder carronade each, as well as three gigs, each mounting a long brass 12 pounder cannon.\n\nThe force consisted of some 1200 sailors and Royal Marines. At night on December 12, the British boats, under Lockyer, set off to enter Lake Borgne. Before reaching Lake Borgne, they encountered the one gun schooner Sea Horse. She was on a mission to destroy a powder magazine at Bay St. Louis in order to prevent its capture by the Royal Navy. The schooner, with the protection of a shore battery, fought off two of Lockyer's longboat attacks but then was burnt later that night to prevent the main British fleet from capturing her.\n\nBattle.After rowing for about thirty-six hours, the British located the five American vessels drawn up in line abreast to block the channel between Malheureux Island and Point Claire on the mainland. As the British advanced, they spotted Alligator and immediately sent a few longboats under Roberts to cut her off and the British quickly captured her. At 10 o'clock on the morning of December 14, the boats had closed to within long gunshot by St. Joseph's Island. At this point Lockyer ordered the boats' crews to breakfast.\n\nLockyer formed the boats into three divisions. He took command of the first and gave Montresor of Manley command of the second and Roberts of Meteor command of the third. When the British had finished their breakfast they returned to their oars and pulled up to the enemy. The main battle came at 10:30 am. The Americans in the gunboats saw the British rowing towards them and opened fire while the boats were still out of reach. The British were rowing against a strong current and under a heavy fire of round and grapeshot.\nThe Americans fired as many times as possible before the range closed. They were able to sink two of the attacking longboats and damaged many others. They killed or wounded a number of the British in the process, including most of the men in Lockyer's boat. Eventually the range closed and the British sailors and marines began to board the American vessels. Lockyer personally boarded Gunboat No. 156, Jones's ship. In the close quarters combat the two sides used cutlasses, pikes, bayonets and muskets. Both Lockyer and Jones sustained severe wounds.\n\nThe British captured Gunboat No. 156 and turned her guns against her sister ships. The gunboat fired her broadsides and assisted the capture of the remaining American craft. One by one, the British took the other four American gunboats. Boarding and capturing the entire American flotilla took five minutes.\n\nTickler, a small fifty ton sloop anchored a short distance behind the five gunboats, watched the battle but stayed out of the fight as Jones ordered. When her captain saw the British had captured all five American gunboats, he scuttled and burned his vessel. It is not known if the crew was captured or escaped to New Orleans.\n\nAftermath.The engagement lasted about two hours, though the actual hand-to-hand combat lasted only five minutes. The British forced the greatly outnumbered American seamen to surrender, but the Americans had inflicted considerable damage. The British won control of the lakes, but the delay gave General Andrew Jackson more time to strengthen his defenses. The Americans lost their gunboats and a sloop and had 10 killed, 35 wounded, and 86 captured, according to the British; and 60 killed, wounded, or captured according to the Americans. Jones was a prisoner of war for three months and would later be decorated for his bravery in delaying the British advance.\nThe British reported that in the fighting they had lost 17 dead and 77 wounded, some of whom died later. Captain Lockyer was among the wounded. The British also lost two longboats sunk and had several others damaged. Originally the Americans claimed that the British had suffered some 300 killed or wounded, as well as losing four boats sunk.", "indices": [ -2, 6454 ], "passage": "Battle of Lake Borgne" } ], "question_links": [ "Battle of New Orleans", "Battle of Lake Borgne" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 35, "text": "The Battle of New Orleans ", "passage": "battle of new orleans", "end": 61 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "Which of the two battles that Dashwood was present at or took part in during the year 1814 resulted in more casualties?", "qid": "q_3145" }, { "context": [ { "text": "Afterwards he took part, commanding HMS Norge of 74 guns, in the Battle of New Orleans,", "indices": [ 522, 609 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "The Battle of New Orleans was fought on January 8, 1815 between the British Army under Major General Sir Edward Pakenham and the United States Army under Brevet Major General Andrew Jackson.", "indices": [ 0, 190 ], "passage": "Battle of New Orleans" } ], "question_links": [ "Battle of New Orleans" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 122, "text": "Major General Sir Edward Pakenham", "passage": "battle of new orleans", "end": 155 }, { "start": 189, "text": "Brevet Major General Andrew Jackson", "passage": "battle of new orleans", "end": 224 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "Who were the two lead generals of the battle where Dashwood commanded the HMS Norge?", "qid": "q_3146" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 185, 195 ], "target": "HMS Cressy (1810)" }, { "indices": [ 254, 265 ], "target": "HMS Pyramus" }, { "indices": [ 316, 329 ], "target": "William Young (Royal Navy officer, born 1751)" }, { "indices": [ 461, 469 ], "target": "Spithead" }, { "indices": [ 509, 520 ], "target": "Royal barge" }, { "indices": [ 587, 608 ], "target": "Battle of New Orleans" }, { "indices": [ 636, 652 ], "target": "Pulteney Malcolm" }, { "indices": [ 707, 725 ], "target": "Alexander Cochrane" }, { "indices": [ 754, 775 ], "target": "Battle of Lake Borgne" }, { "indices": [ 1134, 1152 ], "target": "HMS Windsor Castle (1790)" }, { "indices": [ 1169, 1184 ], "target": "HMS Impregnable (1810)" } ], "text": "Afterwards Dashwood took eight American merchantmen, and on 15 June 1812, he captured the Hope, a merchant ship off the north of Gothland.

Li Baochen thus turned against Zhu, launching a surprise attack on him, but was unable to kill Zhu, effectively ending any hopes of the campaign against Tian and subsequently creating an enmity between the Chengde and Lulong Circuits.

According to the song's official sheet music, published by Walt Disney Music Publishing on Musicnotes.com, \"Where the Dream Takes You\" is set in signature common time and performed at a moderate tempo of 88 beats per minute in the key of C major. The Disney Song Encyclopedia author Thomas S. Hischak believes that the song's lyrics are \"about following your heart to find your true self\", which begin \"They'll try to hold you back, they will say you're wrong, but they will never understand, no, the journey that you're on.\" A writer for Barnes & Noble agreed that, thematically, the single \"correlates to the film's tale of an inexperienced young adventurer\", Milo Thatch, and its diverse cast of supporting characters, all of whom long to follow various dreams of their own as they search for Atlantis. One of its verses reads, \"There's something in your soul/That won't be denied/It's the faith to dream that keeps the dream alive/So you still believe and you know you must go\", encouraging listeners to follow their dreams despite others' opinions. Lasting a duration of four minutes, AllMusic cites the song's mood as both \"earnest\" and \"mellow\"; M\u00fda performs it using a \"sweet vocal\", which spans two octaves from G3 to D\u266d5. Based on a melody heard only briefly during the film, \"Where the Dream Takes You\" encompasses \"soft, contemporary beats\" combined with the singer's \"dulcet tones\" that recall music played in a piano lounge, contrasting with the time period in which the film itself is set.

He is a Scottish-American dual-citizen. He played for Broxburn Athletic as a youth player. In 1986, he began his professional career with East Fife F.C. before moving to Shrewsbury Town F.C. on March 3, 1989. In October 1987, Pittman had an unsuccessful trial with the Cleveland Force of Major Indoor Soccer League. On March 29, 1990, Pittman signed with the Fort Lauderdale Strikers of the American Professional Soccer League. He was both a first team All Star and the 1990 Rookie of the Year. On August 29, 1990, he signed with the Wichita Wings of the Major Indoor Soccer League. In 1991, he returned to the Strikers. The team released him in August 1991 after an accumulation of yellow and red cards kept him out of seven games during the season. After being ejected in a late season game, Pittman entered the stands to chase a spectator leading to league officials suspending him for the first two games of the play offs. He then rejoined the Wichita Wings for the upcoming MISL season. Despite being released by the Strikers in August 1991, the team re-signed Pittman at the end of April 1992. When the APSL season ended in August, the Strikers loaned Pittman Dundee F.C.. When Pittman's contract with the Strikers ran out, he then signed with Dundee as a free agent. In September 1994, he moved to Partick Thistle F.C. Whilst at Partick Thistle, where Pittman enjoyed arguably the most successful period of his career, he became somewhat of a cult hero after regularly performing his \"Marine Drive\" free-kick. After lining up a direct free-kick, Pittman would stand on one foot and offer up a military style salute to the Thistle fans, before unleashing a shot towards goal. He only managed to score once in this fashion, in a closed-door friendly match against Berwick Rangers. His career with Partick ended when he accumulated three red cards in quick succession after confronting referees following an end of season match. This led to an eight-game ban. In 1996, he signed with the Tampa Bay Mutiny of Major League Soccer. In July 1996, he scored the winning goal for the East during the 1996 All-Star Game. He also toured China as a guest player for San Jose Clash in 1996. On January 9, 1997, the Mutiny traded Pittman to the Kansas City Wizards in exchange for Alan Prampin and the Wizards' third round pick in the 1997 MLS Supplemental Draft. The Wizards waived him on November 17, 1997 and he returned to Scotland where he joined Clydebank F.C. At some point he transferred to Stenhousemuir F.C. where he played three games at the start of the 2000-2001 season. In November 2000, he transferred to Linlithgow Rose F.C.

Cleveland considered Governor Hill to be a corrupt machine boss, and he staunchly believed that the Democrats should maintain their support of the gold standard.

Cleveland and Whitney frequently contacted Southern politicians and newspaper editors in an attempt to get them to support Cleveland's 1892 Presidential bid.

When Scott turned 10, the family moved to Toronto, Ontario, Canada. They lived there for four years, and in that time Scott studied at the Royal Conservatory of Music. The MacIntyre family then relocated to Arizona and Scott studied under Walter Cosand, a university professor of Arizona State University.

Scott won the 2004 Arizona Young Artists Competition at Herberger Theater in the vocal division. In 2005, USA Today named him one of its twenty College Academic All-Stars. In 2005, MacIntyre performed as a guest soloist with the Phoenix Symphony.

A year later, he was appointed Attorney-General for Ireland in the Whig administration of Earl Grey 'though known to be a tory ... with a view to the Irish administration having a broad political base' and on this occasion was sworn of the Privy Council of Ireland. He held the post as Attorney-General until 1834; he was readmitted in 1841 and after serving for a year, became Master of the Rolls in Ireland. As Attorney General he clashed with Daniel O'Connell when he insisted, against O'Connell's wishes, on the appointment of Abraham Brewster as Law Adviser to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland (in effect, a deputy to Brewster himself). Blackburne's statement that he \"would not tolerate a refusal to ratify the appointment\", is an indication of the influence which could then be wielded by a strong Attorney General. In 1845, he was chosen Chief Justice of the Court of Queen's Bench. Blackburne was appointed Lord Chancellor of Ireland in February 1852, but was replaced in October. After a break of four years, he became a Lord Justice of Appeal. In 1858 'he was invited by Lord Derby again to become lord chancellor, but he declined on account of his advanced age and failing health. He changed his mind, however, and decided to accept Derby's offer but was told that the position had been offered to and accepted by Joseph Napier.' He was bitterly disappointed, referring to the decision as \"a harsh and cruel blow\".

Pertinax was elevated to the purple and recognized by his peers, but following his murder by a restive Praetorian Guard, Septimius Severus decided to make his bid for power and usurped the throne. Although initially a usurper, Severus managed to remain in power for the next 18 years and died a natural death while campaigning in northern Britain. The death of Severus Alexander (the last emperor of the Severan dynasty) in 235 triggered what historians call the crisis of the third century. In this period, from 235 to the accession of Diocletian and the establishment of the Tetrarchy in 286, Rome saw 28 emperors of whom only two had a natural death (from the plague). However, there were also 38 usurpers who raised revolts across the Empire, a clear sign that the security of the frontiers was not the only problem within the Roman world. Usurpation attempts were a constant worry for the emperors in this period; it was a too common method of acceding the throne. Successful usurpers were usually either provincial governors, commanders of a large grouping of Roman legions, or prefects of the Praetorian Guard, which had control of Rome, where the Imperial palace still lay.\n", "title": "Roman usurper", "pid": "p_1399" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "aboard the ship Antarctic.", "indices": [ 51, 77 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "corvette ARA Uruguay", "indices": [ 798, 818 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Antarctic was a Swedish steamship built in Drammen, Norway in 1871.", "indices": [ 0, 67 ], "passage": "Antarctic (ship)" }, { "text": "he corbeta (corvette) ARA Uruguay, built in England, is the largest ship afloat of its age in the Armada de la Rep\u00fablica Argentina (Argentine Navy), with more than 140 years passed since its commissioning in September 1874.", "indices": [ 1, 224 ], "passage": "ARA Uruguay" } ], "question_links": [ "Antarctic (ship)", "Uruguay" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 30, "text": "Antarctic", "passage": "antarctic (ship)", "end": 39 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "Which of the two ships was successfully built first?", "qid": "q_3361" }, { "context": [ { "text": "1903,", "indices": [ 744, 749 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "hey were picked u", "indices": [ 757, 774 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "corvette ARA Uruguay (commanded by Juli\u00e1n Ir\u00edzar),", "indices": [ 798, 848 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Juli\u00e1n Ir\u00edzar" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "Where was the commander of the ship that rescued them in 1903 born?", "qid": "q_3362" }, { "context": [ { "text": "The expedition visited the Falkland Islands", "indices": [ 78, 121 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "at Snow Hill Island, a small island", "indices": [ 230, 265 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "James Ross Island, the Joinville Island group, and the Palmer Archipelago.", "indices": [ 1166, 1240 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "The Falkland Islands (; , ) is an archipelago in the South Atlantic Ocean on the Patagonian Shelf.

He was named a Midseason All-American by ESPN, NFL.com, CBS Sports and Phil Steele. He was listed as the national defensive player of the year by three of six writers on the CBS Sports panel. He scored six touchdowns in 2014, two as a running back and four on defense (one interception return and three fumble returns). He was named a first-team preseason All-America by Athlon. He made SI.com's preseason All-America second team. He was also named to the preseason watch list for both the Bednarik (top defensive player) and Paul Hornung (most versatile player) Awards. He started each of the Huskies' games for the season. In a victory over Eastern Washington, he notched 15 tackles, including a sack, forced a fumble and also had three carries for 66 yards, including a 57-yard touchdown run. He was named the national defensive player of the week by the Walter Camp Foundation and Athlon's following a two-touchdown performance vs. Illinois, where he scored on a 36-yard interception return and on a 52-yard fumble return, becoming the first Husky on record to have scored two defensive touchdowns in the same game. He scored his third defensive touchdown (and fourth overall) vs. Stanford, returning a fumble (that he forced) 32 yards for a score. He also had seven tackles, including one for a loss, and forced another fumble vs. the Cardinal. He scored on a 100-yard fumble return in the win at Cal, where he was a game captain. He is one of just four 100-yard plays in University of Washington history (others were a punt return by Hugh McElhenny and kickoff returns by Paul Arnold and John Ross). He also had a game-high 11 tackles against the Bears, and was named the National Defensive Player of the Week by Athlon, as well as Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week, following the Cal game. He played mostly running back vs. Arizona State, gaining 98 yards on 21 carries, and also caught two passes for 15 yards. He started at tailback at Colorado, rushing for 174 yards and a touchdown on just 15 carries (11.6-yard average), leading this to be named the team's offensive player of the game after the win in Boulder. He made a second straight start at tailback, but also saw a good deal of action on the defense, vs. UCLA, when he was a game captain. He rushed for 100 yards on 16 carries vs. the Bruins, while also notching four tackles. He played only on defense and special teams at Arizona, finishing with three tackles. He made five tackles in the Apple Cup win at Washington State. He posted 10 tackles, including half of a tackle for loss, in the Cactus Bowl.

For their next set of recordings on September 29, 1965, the group, then known as Jim and the Lords, was joined by keyboardist Dick Hargrave, who left shortly afterwards to pursue a career in graphic arts. The songs went unreleased until Heartbeat Productions distributed the 2000 album, Then Came The Electric Prunes, which was commended for its good sound quality, considering the circumstances in which it was recorded. Back to a quartet, the band, while rehearsing in a garage, met a real estate agent named Barbara Harris. Harris had connections in the music industry, and introduced the group to Dave Hassinger to record demos at Sky Hill Studios. Hassinger, who had been working as the resident sound engineer at RCA Studios, recently completed development for The Rolling Stones' album, Aftermath, and expressed a desire to produce a record. He suggested to the group that they change their name, and they considered a list of alternatives. According to Lowe, the name Electric Prunes started off as a joke, but he eventually convinced other band members, saying, \"It's the one thing everyone will remember. It's not attractive, and there's nothing sexy about it, but people won't forget it.\" As a result of the recordings, a single, featuring a cover of the Gypsy Trips' folk rock tune, \"Ain't It Hard\", and the Lowe-penned song, \"Little Olive\", was released in early 1966, but failed to chart.\n", "title": "The Electric Prunes", "pid": "p_1417" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "With the British in a difficult position in the Sudan after the death of General Charles George Gordon in the siege of Khartoum,", "indices": [ 443, 571 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "The failure to rescue General Gordon's force in Sudan was a major blow to Prime Minister Gladstone's popularity.

The father of modern medicine, Hippocrates, encouraged his Ancient Greek patients to eat ice \"as it livens the lifejuices and increases the well-being.\" In the 4th century BC, it was well known that a favorite treat of Alexander the Great was snow ice mixed with honey and nectar. In the modern Day Greek ice cream has been heavily influenced by Turkish Ice cream Dondurma thus the name used to be called Dudurmas but, because of Greco-Turkish relations most Turkish related foods are coined a more Greek idiom. Greek ice cream recipes have some unique flavours such as Pagoto Kaimaki (), made from mastic-resin which gives it an almost chewy texture, and Salepi, used as a thickening agent to increase resistance to melting, both giving a unique taste to the ice cream; Pagoto Elaeolado me syko (), made of olive oil and figs; Pagoto Kataifi cocoa (), made from the shredded filo dough pastry that resembles angel's hair pasta, similar to vermicelli but much thinner; and Pagoto Mavrodaphne (), made from a Greek dessert wine. Fruity Greek Sweets of the Spoon are usually served as toppings with Greek-inspired ice cream flavors.\n", "title": "List of ice cream varieties by country", "pid": "p_1420" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "The Island of Hawaii was first inhabited by Polynesians who arrived in canoes and spread to the other Hawaiian islands.", "indices": [ 0, 119 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "The Hawaiian Islands () are an archipelago of eight major islands", "indices": [ 0, 65 ], "passage": "Hawaiian Islands" } ], "question_links": [ "Hawaiian Islands", "Hawaii (island)" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 76, "text": "eight", "passage": "hawaiian islands", "end": 81 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "How many Hawaiian Islands are there?", "qid": "q_3419" }, { "context": [ { "text": "After the contact by the British explorer James Cook the islands became well known and Europeans came and inhabited them", "indices": [ 120, 240 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Cook travelled north and in 1778 became the first European to begin formal contact with the Hawaiian Islands.", "indices": [ 17486, 17595 ], "passage": "James Cook" } ], "question_links": [ "James Cook", "Hawaiian Islands" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 17538, "text": "1778", "passage": "james cook", "end": 17542 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "In what year did James Cook arrive at the Hawaiian Islands?", "qid": "q_3420" }, { "context": [ { "text": "he Kingdom of Hawaii became more influenced by the United States which set up trade relations with the Kingdom.", "indices": [ 332, 443 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Anticipating foreign encroachment on Hawaiian territory, King Kamehameha III dispatched a delegation to the United States and Europe to secure the recognition of Hawaiian independence.", "indices": [ 12175, 12359 ], "passage": "Hawaiian Kingdom" } ], "question_links": [ "Hawaiian Kingdom", "Hawaiian Islands" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 12262, "text": "King Kamehameha III", "passage": "hawaiian kingdom", "end": 12281 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "Who was the King of Hawaii that formed a relationship with the United States?", "qid": "q_3421" }, { "context": [ { "text": "After the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom in 1893, the new Republic of Hawaii government lobbied for annexation by the United States", "indices": [ 444, 578 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "The overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom began on January 17, 1893, with a coup d'\u00e9tat against Queen Lili\u02bbuokalani on the island of Oahu by subjects of the Hawaiian Kingdom, United States citizens, and foreign residents residing in Honolulu.", "indices": [ 0, 238 ], "passage": "Overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom" } ], "question_links": [ "Overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom", "Republic of Hawaii" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 184, "text": "subjects of the Hawaiian Kingdom, United States citizens, and foreign residents", "passage": "overthrow of the hawaiian kingdom", "end": 263 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "What country overthrew the Hawaiian Kingdom in 1893?", "qid": "q_3422" }, { "context": [ { "text": "Annexation was approved by President William McKinley and Hawaii was incorporated as part of the territory of the United States on August 12, 1898, and then, in April 1900, organized as the territory of Hawaii.", "indices": [ 580, 790 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Territory of Hawaii or Hawaii Territory was an organized incorporated territory of the United States that existed from April 30, 1900 until August 21, 1959,", "indices": [ 4, 160 ], "passage": "Territory of Hawaii" } ], "question_links": [ "United States territory", "Territory of Hawaii" ], "answer": { "answer_value": "59", "answer_unit": "years", "type": "value" }, "question": "How long did Hawaii remain as a territory to the United States?", "qid": "q_3423" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 4, 20 ], "target": "Hawaii (island)" }, { "indices": [ 44, 55 ], "target": "Polynesians" }, { "indices": [ 102, 118 ], "target": "Hawaiian Islands" }, { "indices": [ 162, 172 ], "target": "James Cook" }, { "indices": [ 318, 329 ], "target": "Catholic Church" }, { "indices": [ 335, 352 ], "target": "Hawaiian Kingdom" }, { "indices": [ 383, 396 ], "target": "United States" }, { "indices": [ 454, 487 ], "target": "Overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom" }, { "indices": [ 505, 523 ], "target": "Republic of Hawaii" }, { "indices": [ 617, 633 ], "target": "William McKinley" }, { "indices": [ 677, 707 ], "target": "United States territory" }, { "indices": [ 753, 762 ], "target": "Organized incorporated territories of the United States" }, { "indices": [ 770, 789 ], "target": "Territory of Hawaii" } ], "text": "The Island of Hawaii was first inhabited by Polynesians who arrived in canoes and spread to the other Hawaiian islands.

The foreword of the book was written by Grafton Elliot Smith. The work covers the earliest settlement of Britain by the first modern humans from around 35,000 years ago during the Aurignacian (pp.\u00a019\u201327). In the book, Mackenzie maintains that the Caucasoid Cro-Magnons who settled in Britain were dark haired and dark eyed, racially akin to the French Basques, Iberians and Berbers of North Africa (p.\u00a025), who he theorised were one of the earliest representatives of the Mediterranean race. This indigenous proto-Mediterranean racial stock was later invaded by another \"variety of the Mediterranean race\" who initiated the Solutrean culture around 20,000 years ago (p.\u00a050). According to Mackenzie, the Aurignacian and Solutrean peoples of Britain traded in shells with Cro-Magnons of France. They later intermingled with later arriving Caucasoid racial types, including the proto-Alpines (Furfooz race), who were brachycelphalic (broad-skulled) and a Lappid race, who had minor Eskimo phenotypic traits. Mackenzie also believed that there was a highly depigmentated racial type in small numbers in Britain during the Magdalenian, perhaps who were also blonde, who intermingled with the \"dark Iberians\" (p.\u00a060). During the Neolithic, Mackenzie believed that the predominant racial type of Britain continued to be Mediterranoid: \"The carriers of Neolithic culture were in the main Iberians of Mediterranean racial type\" (p.\u00a0126) who traded in pearls and ores. Regarding Bronze Age Britain, Mackenzie devoted several chapters supporting his theory that traders and \"prospectors\" (miners) arrived in Britain c. 2500 BC, originally from the Eastern Mediterranean (pp.\u00a098\u2013101). This theory was initially developed by Harold Peake, who coined the term \"Prospector Theory\". In the scientific literature of Carleton S. Coon (1939), the theory was revived, and the Mediterraneans who colonised Britain during the late Neolithic or Bronze Age were associated with the Medway megaliths (or long-barrow Megalithic culture). Joseph Deniker earlier called these colonists \"Atlanto-Mediterranean\". Mackenzie believed that these Mediterraneans who colonised parts of Britain survived well into later historic periods (p.\u00a0118) and that the Mediterranean race in general was the bulk racial stock of Britain from Paleolithic through to the Neolithic and to more recent periods. They had black or brown hair, and swarthy skin \"like those of the Southern Italians\" (p.\u00a0126) and have survived in numerous pockets of Britain to the modern day (p.\u00a0139) despite that the later Anglo-Saxon and Norse settlement, who were fairer in appearance, Mackenzie believed their genetic input or admixture was very limited but that they subjugated the British imposing a new civilization and culture (p.\u00a0227).\n", "title": "Donald Alexander Mackenzie", "pid": "p_1446" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "it was \"evidently inspired\" by the front of Buckingham Palace, London", "indices": [ 332, 401 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "The palace has 775 rooms, and the garden is the largest private garden in London", "indices": [ 1787, 1867 ], "passage": "Buckingham Palace" } ], "question_links": [ "Buckingham Palace" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 1833, "text": "775 rooms", "passage": "buckingham palace", "end": 1842 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "How large is the palace that evidently inspired the front of the hall?", "qid": "q_3503" }, { "context": [ { "text": "Ince Blundell Hall is in Georgian style.", "indices": [ 0, 40 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Georgian architecture is the name given in most English-speaking countries to the set of architectural styles current between 1714 and 1830.", "indices": [ 0, 140 ], "passage": "Georgian architecture" } ], "question_links": [ "Georgian architecture" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 161, "text": "1714", "passage": "georgian architecture", "end": 165 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "In what era did the architectural style of Ince Blundell Hall emerge?

Grain sizes in sands are defined (in geology) within the range of 0.0625\u00a0mm to 2\u00a0mm (0.0025\u20130.08\u00a0inches). Clays and sediments with smaller grain sizes not visible with the naked eye, including siltstones and shales, are typically called argillaceous sediments; rocks with larger grain sizes, including breccias and conglomerates, are termed rudaceous sediments.\n\nThe formation of sandstone involves two principal stages. First, a layer or layers of sand accumulates as the result of sedimentation, either from water (as in a stream, lake, or sea) or from air (as in a desert). Typically, sedimentation occurs by the sand settling out from suspension; i.e., ceasing to be rolled or bounced along the bottom of a body of water or ground surface (e.g., in a desert or erg).

In response to an appeal from Bullock, Georgia was again placed under military rule as part of the Georgia Act of December 22, 1869. This made Bullock a hated political figure. After various allegations of scandal and ridicule, in 1871 he was obliged by the Ku Klux Klan to resign the governorship, and felt it prudent to leave the state. He was succeeded by Republican State Senate president Benjamin Conley, who served as Governor for the two remaining months of the term to which Bullock had been elected. Conley was succeeded by James M. Smith, a Democrat, and no Republican would serve as governor of Georgia again until Sonny Perdue in 2003.\n", "title": "Rufus Bullock", "pid": "p_1453" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "Akira Kurosawa's film Yojimbo (1961", "indices": [ 1297, 1332 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Kurosawa was born on March 23, 1910, in \u014cimachi in the \u014cmori district of Tokyo.", "indices": [ 2118, 2197 ], "passage": "Akira Kurosawa" } ], "question_links": [ "Yojimbo" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 2197, "text": "the \u014cmori district of Tokyo", "passage": "akira kurosawa", "end": 2224 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "Where was the director of Yojimbo born?", "qid": "q_3527" }, { "context": [ { "text": "While the first game imitated popular Spaghetti Western film soundtracks", "indices": [ 0, 72 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Spaghetti Western, also known as Italian Western or Macaroni Western (primarily in Japan), is a broad subgenre of Western films that emerged in the mid-1960s", "indices": [ 0, 157 ], "passage": "Spaghetti Western" } ], "question_links": [ "Spaghetti Western" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 179, "text": "mid-1960s", "passage": "spaghetti western", "end": 188 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "When was the genre of Red Dead Redemption 2 first created?", "qid": "q_3528" }, { "context": [ { "text": "Akira Kurosawa's film Yojimbo (1961", "indices": [ 1297, 1332 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Yojimbo" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "How much money did Akira Kurosawa's 1961 film make?", "qid": "q_3529" }, { "context": [ { "text": "Akira Kurosawa's film Yojimbo (1961),", "indices": [ 1297, 1334 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Akira Kurosawa ( or or Kurosawa Akira; March 23, 1910 \u2013 September 6, 1998", "indices": [ 0, 73 ], "passage": "Akira Kurosawa" } ], "question_links": [ "Akira Kurosawa" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 67, "text": "March 23, 1910", "passage": "akira kurosawa", "end": 81 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "When was the director of Yojimbo born?", "qid": "q_3530" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 38, 55 ], "target": "Spaghetti Western" }, { "indices": [ 533, 541 ], "target": "Mandolin" }, { "indices": [ 610, 623 ], "target": "Willie Nelson" }, { "indices": [ 632, 638 ], "target": "Teatro (Willie Nelson album)" }, { "indices": [ 683, 697 ], "target": "The Hired Hand" }, { "indices": [ 717, 729 ], "target": "Matt Sweeney" }, { "indices": [ 819, 834 ], "target": "Ennio Morricone" }, { "indices": [ 953, 965 ], "target": "Sergio Leone" }, { "indices": [ 1021, 1034 ], "target": "Western music (North America)" }, { "indices": [ 1274, 1285 ], "target": "Masaru Sato" }, { "indices": [ 1297, 1311 ], "target": "Akira Kurosawa" }, { "indices": [ 1319, 1326 ], "target": "Yojimbo" } ], "text": "While the first game imitated popular Spaghetti Western film soundtracks, the second game aimed to become more unique.

Pavlovich felt that in order to find an effective result, they had to \"push it almost until you break it, and then you swing back\". To avoid imitating the bell used in Spaghetti Western soundtracks, Jackson instead used a mandolin used by the Wrecking Crew. The music team found reference points in Willie Nelson's album Teatro (1998) and the soundtrack for the 1971 film The Hired Hand. Session guitarist Matt Sweeney took inspiration from segments of other music\u2014such as the insistent drums in the work of Ennio Morricone\u2014without being derivative. While researching for the game's score, Jackson found that Morricone's work\u2014particularly on Sergio Leone's Dollars Trilogy\u2014was already a departure from typical Western music of the time, instead featuring sounds popular at the time such as \"psychedelic guitars, lots of noises\", so Jackson felt that he could also take such creative liberties with Red Dead Redemption 2. Similarly, he was even more influenced by Masaru Sato's score on Akira Kurosawa's film Yojimbo (1961), which he felt focused on emotion rather than trying to replicate the sound of feudal Japan, the film's setting.\n", "title": "Development of Red Dead Redemption 2", "pid": "p_1454" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "It was built as a chapel for Lancaster Grammar School", "indices": [ 96, 149 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Lancaster Royal Grammar School (LRGS) is a selective grammar school ", "indices": [ 0, 68 ], "passage": "Lancaster Royal Grammar School" }, { "text": "The school has a sixth form for girls, which commenced in 2019", "indices": [ 265, 327 ], "passage": "Lancaster Royal Grammar School" } ], "question_links": [ "Lancaster Royal Grammar School" ], "answer": { "answer_value": "yes", "type": "binary" }, "question": "Is the school that house the Christ Church initially as a chapel still in existence?", "qid": "q_3531" }, { "context": [ { "text": "In 1894\u201395 a west baptistry was added by the same practice", "indices": [ 390, 448 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "How many seats did the addition in 1894-95 add?", "qid": "q_3532" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 125, 149 ], "target": "Lancaster Royal Grammar School" }, { "indices": [ 164, 173 ], "target": "Workhouse" }, { "indices": [ 256, 258 ], "target": "Member of parliament" }, { "indices": [ 276, 281 ], "target": "Aisle" }, { "indices": [ 326, 342 ], "target": "Sharpe, Paley and Austin" }, { "indices": [ 464, 487 ], "target": "Sharpe, Paley and Austin" }, { "indices": [ 515, 531 ], "target": "Sharpe, Paley and Austin" }, { "indices": [ 628, 636 ], "target": "Transept" }, { "indices": [ 704, 714 ], "target": "Derbyshire" }, { "indices": [ 764, 775 ], "target": "Henry Paley" }, { "indices": [ 793, 817 ], "target": "Sharpe, Paley and Austin" } ], "text": "Christ Church was built between 1855 and 1857 to a design by the London architect Henry Martin.

Soon thereafter her father became ill and died, and she and her husband departed for Houston in order to handle the church's affairs. While she was back in Houston, Powell became a teacher at a school, where she was encouraged to sing during a commencement ceremony, and after that she was a highly sought after local artist. Around 1971, Rev. James Cleveland eavesdropped on one of her singing engagements in Los Angeles, California, and at his request, she met with him the next day. He asked her about recording, but Powell had never given it much thought. He encouraged her, and she quickly found success in 1972 with the songs, \"Touch Somebody's Life\" and \"When Jesus Comes,\" which achieved significant radio airtime, and were on her debut album \"Touch Somebody's Life\" that came out in 1975 on the Savoy label. She attended Southwest Theological Seminary, and obtained her Master's degree from University of St. Thomas, after achieving musical success.

The temenos, or sacred ground, of the Academy was walled round, for ritual reasons, as pleasure gardens would be, for practical ones; within its precincts were buildings: small temples, shrines and tombs, in addition to that of the presiding hero. In 322 BCE Theophrastus, the father of botany, inherited Aristotle's garden, along with his scholars and his library; of the garden we know only that it had a walk, and that Theophrastus lectured there: it may have been in some respects a botanical garden with a scientific rather than recreational purpose. On his return to Athens in 306 BCE, the philosopher Epicurus founded The Garden, a school named for the garden he owned about halfway between the Stoa and the Academy that served as the school's meeting place; little is actually known of the ascetic philosopher's garden, though in cultural history it grew retrospectively in delight: of his garden at Geneva, Les D\u00e9lices, Voltaire could exclaim, with more enthusiasm than history, \"It is the palace of a philosopher with the gardens of Epicurus\u2014 it is a delicious retreat\".

The division was redesignated as the 2nd Battle Squadron (BS) on 1 May. The ship, together with her sister ships and , participated in the Parliamentary Naval Review on 9 July at Spithead. They then participated in training manoeuvres. King-Hall was relieved by Rear-Admiral Rosslyn Wemyss on 29 October. On 13 November, the ship participated in comparative gunnery trials with Thunderer to evaluate the effectiveness of the latter's gunnery director. Thunderer decisively outshot Orion, although some of her success was because her director was above the smoke that obscured the target from Orions guns. The test was repeated in better conditions on 4 December and Orion performed much better, apparently beating Thunderer.

The team had sought simply to measure the less extreme electrical conductivity changes they expected. The researchers used a 1960s-era light-gas gun, originally employed in guided missile studies, to shoot an impactor plate into a sealed container containing a half-millimeter thick sample of liquid hydrogen. The liquid hydrogen was in contact with wires leading to a device measuring electrical resistance. The scientists found that, as pressure rose to , the electronic energy band gap, a measure of electrical resistance, fell to almost zero. The band-gap of hydrogen in its uncompressed state is about , making it an insulator but, as the pressure increases significantly, the band-gap gradually fell to .

The town became famous when it belonged to Miko\u0142aj Firlej, the son of Piotr Firlej. In the late 16th century, it was one of centers of Calvinism in Lesser Poland, and Miko\u0142aj Firlej invited here a number of skilled artisans from France, Germany and Holland, as well as cattle breeders. Lewart\u00f3w frequently changed owners. In the early 18th century it belonged to the Sanguszko family, who rebuilt the palace, built two Baroque churches and tenement houses. Upon request of Pawe\u0142 Karol Sanguszko, on November 22, 1744, King Augustus III of Poland changed the name of the town to Lubart\u00f3w (in honor of Lubart - Liubartas, the son of Lithuanian Prince Gediminas; Sanguszko believed that Liubartas was the founder of his family). King Augustus granted a new coat of arms to the town. The 19th century was not lucky for Lubart\u00f3w, as the town, which from 1815 to 1915 belonged to Russian-controlled Congress Poland, burned several times (1831, 1838, 1846). In 1866 it became the seat of a county, and slowly began modernization.

It was during the Norman Conquest that many of the city's landmarks were built in this district such as the 13th century King John's Castle and the 800-year-old St Mary's Cathedral. Nicholas Street and Mary Street on the island formed the medieval city centre of Limerick and are perhaps the oldest streets in the city. Samuel Lewis writing in 1837 in his Topographical Dictionary of Ireland describes Limerick's old city of Englishtown as resembling the city of Rouen, Normandy with the housing built in Flemish fashion. Even by then though there is evidence the district was in decline as he describes the area as exhibiting a 'dirty & neglected appearance'. Following the development of Newtown Pery the city centre shifted south to the present day centre of the city and the Englishtown area lost its position as the fashionable area of the city. By the late 18th Century the old continental style cramped lofty Dutch & Flemish houses that once characterised the area were transformed into tenements and rented to Limerick's poorest. Englishtown became characterised by poverty, slum living and squalor. All of the slums were cleared in the early to mid 20th Century, resulting in the loss of most of the areas historical built heritage such as the collection of Flemish townhouses, Ireton's Castle, the Exchange building, the Tholsel amongst much more.

It also became Cyrus' first tour not to incorporate performances as Hannah Montana, although \"Let's Get Crazy\", an official Hannah-song, was performed. Alternative band Metro Station served as opening act for all tour venues. It was sponsored by Wal-Mart and promoted by AEG Live. All tickets from the Wonder World Tour were sold using paperless ticketing, in order to prevent ticket scalping similar to what had occurred during Cyrus' previous tour. One dollar from each ticket sold was donated to the City of Hope National Medical Center, an organization devoted to the fight against cancer.\n", "title": "Wonder World Tour (Miley Cyrus)", "pid": "p_1516" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "Fan Hanjie was born in Dabu, Guangdong", "indices": [ 0, 38 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Fan Hanjie was born in Dabu, Guangdong.", "indices": [ 0, 39 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Dabu County" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "How old is the place where Hanjie was born?", "qid": "q_3663" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 23, 27 ], "target": "Dabu County" }, { "indices": [ 29, 38 ], "target": "Guangdong" }, { "indices": [ 674, 681 ], "target": "Colonel" }, { "indices": [ 700, 724 ], "target": "Republic of China Military Academy" }, { "indices": [ 1325, 1339 ], "target": "Chen Jiongming" }, { "indices": [ 1361, 1383 ], "target": "Nationalist government" }, { "indices": [ 1444, 1471 ], "target": "National Revolutionary Army" }, { "indices": [ 1485, 1504 ], "target": "Northern Expedition" }, { "indices": [ 2003, 2018 ], "target": "Chiang Kai-shek" }, { "indices": [ 2218, 2233 ], "target": "Chiang Kai-shek" }, { "indices": [ 2248, 2256 ], "target": "Zhejiang" }, { "indices": [ 2587, 2606 ], "target": "Mukden Incident" } ], "text": "Fan Hanjie was born in Dabu, Guangdong.

In 1920 he was transferred to the Department of Guangdong and Guangxi provinces, fighting local pirates and repress smuggling activities, and then he was promoted to the rank of captain on the Jiangping Warship. In 1923 he was again transferred to the Department of the General Staff, and promoted to the rank of colonel. In May 1924, the Whampoa Military Academy was founded in Canton, When Fan Hanjie was almost 30 years of age, and he was hesitated to enroll first, due to his mature age, most student cadets were in their early twenties. Because the successful outcome of the first KMT-CPC cooperation, Fan Hanjie had high hopes for the national revolution and he took the entrance exams and was easily admitted, is the only student who held the rank of colonel in the entire academy. After graduation from the academy, Fan Hanjie like other graduates, starting from scratch, in the army platoon, company, battalion duties to participate in the suppression of Chen Jiongming's revolt against the Nationalist Government during the Second Eastern Campaign. In the summer 1926, the National Revolutionary Army launched the Northern Expedition, and was Fan's first actual combat experience; he has been selected as commander of the 10th Regiment of the 29th Division, and was one of the first regiment commanders from the Whampoa academy. Fan led the troops to participate in the famous battle at the Ting Kau Bridge. In October the same year he was promoted to first deputy commander of 10th division.

In 2009 the club was number 4, and played in the Icelandic Cup Final but lost to Brei\u00f0ablik UBK in a penalty shootout. Now it seems as if Fram Reykjav\u00edk is back among the best again. Fram's woes continued in the spring of 2006. In 2008 things changed a lot though a new manager came that had been playing for Fram Reykjav\u00edk in the famous 86\u201391 team \u00deorvaldur \u00d6rlygsson.

This time, however, it was a complete success. Fram Reykjav\u00edk won four straight games, gobbling up KR's lead as team number 3 in the table (a qualifying position for the UEFA Cup), and finally overtaking them. Fram Reykjav\u00edk against FH Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur where they won away which was for the first time in many years, the team that was supposed to be unbeatable they managed to win. The following weekend, Fram Reykjav\u00edk beat Keflav\u00edk, securing the club's third position in the league for the first time since 1992. Fram Reykjav\u00edk was back in European competition: the team that almost drew at Nou Camp 18 years ago was back, and there was more good news to come, \u00deorvaldur \u00d6rlygsson accepted a new offer to be the manager. The summer of 2009 came out to be not as good as expected in \u00darvalsdeild Fram Reykjav\u00edk finished 4th, which was an obvious disappointment. And in Visa-Bikar 2009 Fram Reykjav\u00edk made it to the finals but lost in penalty kickout against Brei\u00f0ablik UBK where Paul McShane missed the last penally for Fram Reykjav\u00edk, in UEFA Cup 2009 Fram won The New Saints F.C. easily in the first round but in the second round Fram Reykjav\u00edk traveled to Czech Republic to play Sigma Olomouc the first match went 1\u20131 where Sigma scored a goal almost in the last second of the match. The second match Sigma Olomouc won but Fram Reykjav\u00edk was told to have played maybe their best matches of the summer there and they showed that on a good day they could play like the big teams in Europe. Before the 2009 season \u00deorvaldur \u00d6rlygsson brought several new players to Fram Reykjav\u00edk, one of them being J\u00f3n Gunnar Eysteinsson who \u00deorvaldur \u00d6rlygsson knew well from Fjar\u00f0abygg\u00f0, he was supposed to come instead of Au\u00f0un Helgason that went to Grindav\u00edk and Some other players like the English brothers which both started their career playing for Chelsea F.C., Joe Tillen and Sam Tillen the team of 2010 was one of the youngest teams ever in Icelandic football, the oldest player was 25 years old.

He rekindled his partnership with Best upon the injury of Ameobi in February, and L\u00f8venkrands scored in a 2\u20130 victory over Birmingham City on 15 February.

Bundgaard's works often exhibit a mythological, nationalistic slant as can be seen in two of his masterpieces, the Gefion Fountain (1908) on Copenhagen's waterfront and the Cimbrian Bull (1937) in Aalborg. He also completed a number of monuments in commemoration of the volunteers from 1848 and 1864 as well as the Reunification Monument in Randers.

In the first game of the 2001 season, a 21-7 defeat of TCU, Crouch surpassed Tommie Frazier as Nebraska's all-time total offense leader. He became the Big 12 all-time career rushing quarterback in the emotionally charged game against Rice. The next week, against Missouri, Crouch was backed up near the goal line when he scrambled to escape from defenders and pulled off a 95-yard touchdown run, the longest in school history. Against Iowa State the following week, Crouch broke the record for career touchdowns by a quarterback. Crouch became only the fourth player in Division 1 history to both pass and rush for 3,000 yards in a career with his performance against Texas Tech. Next, in a hard-fought game against defending national champion Oklahoma, Crouch again showed off his speed and playmaking abilities, this time serving as quarterback and receiver in a single play, the famous \"Black 41 Flash Reverse Pass\" in which Crouch made a 63-yard touchdown reception. By mid-November Crouch had set a school record for most career wins as a starter and became only the ninth quarterback in D-1A history to have won 35 games as a starter. The Cornhuskers were 11-0 going into the annual contest with Colorado the day after Thanksgiving. Crouch had a career day, setting the school record for offense yards in a single game with 360 yards. The Nebraska defense was dominated by the Buffaloes, however, and gave up a then-record 62 points to Colorado. The 62-36 loss appeared to have ended Nebraska's hopes of playing for the national championship and to have hurt Crouch's chances of winning the Heisman. Two weeks later, Crouch was announced as the recipient of the award, edging out Florida's Rex Grossman and Miami's Ken Dorsey in the closest Heisman ballot since 1985. His outstanding season also was recognized when he won the Davey O'Brien Award for being the best collegiate quarterback in the nation during the 2001 season. In the meantime several highly ranked teams were upset and in the final BCS rankings, Nebraska beat out one-loss Oregon and two-loss Colorado to earn the No. 2 spot in the BCS rankings. The final BCS rankings were steeped in controversy since Nebraska had the chance to play in the Rose Bowl for the national championship despite not winning a conference or division championship. In the Rose Bowl on January 3, 2002, Crouch rushed for 114 yards against the Miami Hurricanes but was denied a touchdown for the first time since September, 1999.

After Sherman's troops marched on, Barnett returned the seal and the documents to the state. In 1866 Barnett again removed the Great Seal from the capitol. General Ruger, who was at that time acting as the Military Governor of Georgia, requested that Barnett affix the seal to an executive act, which Colonel Barnett could not approve. He refused to sanction the papers with the imprint of the seal and as a consequence was removed by General Ruger. Colonel Barnett then took the seal with him to prevent it from falling into the hands of what was considered an illegitimate Carpetbagger government which occupied the state: so that it was never affixed to any of the documents of misrule which followed under the carpetbag government. Since the seal was required, to certify official acts of the state government, the Reconstruction government fabricated a replacement. That replacement was identical in all respects except one. The soldier depicted on the replacement seal held his sword in the wrong hand. The period of the Reconstruction government in Georgia is thus referred to as the \"Period of the False Seal\". The Great Seal and documents were buried on Barnett's farm, and remained hidden there until 1868, when a new state constitution was enacted and a new government installed. After democrats regained control of state government, Barnett was again elected Secretary of State in 1873. Upon his return to office, both houses of the Legislature voted to present him with a replica of the Executive Seal, which replica is now in Savannah, Georgia, the property of the Georgia Historical Society. Barnett continued to serve as Secretary of State until his death on 2 February 1890. Toward the end of his more than 30 years of service as secretary of state under numerous administrations and into his late 80s, he was said to wear a row of three pairs of glasses. A portrait of Barnett hangs in the office of the Georgia Secretary of State to this day.\n", "title": "Nathan Crawford Barnett", "pid": "p_1580" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "\"Kitty Kat\" received generally favorable reviews from critics.

The sample didn't work with what the band had already recorded so Manson re-sang the lines to fit the key and tempo of the song.

Garbage and Brian Wilson coincidentally shared the same publishing company (Irving Music), and figuring that they had nothing to lose, contacted him through their company representative, sent him a copy of \"Push It\", and asked him for permission to use the interpolation. Wilson gave his blessing, and reportedly kept the tape. Both Wilson and Roger Christian, the deceased co-writer of \"Don't Worry Baby\", received a writing credit.

Jesse Karp on his Booklist review wrote: \"Stunning artwork and creeping dread weave together in this satisfying and moving page-turner\". Douglas Wolk from The New York Times described it as \"a too rare example of artists getting top billing\", referring to the artwork by Asaf and Tomer Hanuka. Joshua Rivera from GQ wrote: \"The Divine's story is unflinching and raw, and its art is quite possibly the most beautiful of any comic this year\". Michael Mechanic from Mother Jones called it \"beautifully rendered\", while io9 defined it as \"Your next comics obsession\". Rich Barrett from Mental Floss chose it for \"The most interesting comics of the week\" and praised it for being \"stunning, cohesive combination [of elements]\".

This seems to have been granted, although students were generally required to adhere to the Danish Church and Bertram remained Anglican.

After 1795 and the British occupation of the Cape, a caretaker of the forests in the area was appointed. After the second British occupation in 1806, it was decided that the Swellendam magistracy was too large and needed to be sub-divided. George was chosen because of the availability of good water. In 1811 George was declared a separate district and Tiaan Swart was appointed the first Landrost (magistrate) and the town was proclaimed by the Earl of Caledon, governor of the Cape Colony on St George's Day, 23 April 1811, and named after the reigning British monarch, King George III. One of Van Kervel's first acts as Landrost (Mayor), was to dig a furrow to supply the first thirty six plots in George with water.

After French rule ended and Napoleon met his ultimate political fate at Waterloo, the Congress of Vienna awarded a great swathe of territory in this region to the Kingdom of Bavaria, and by 1817, Horschbach found itself within this exclave, called the Bayerischer Rheinkreis (\u201cBavarian Rhine District\u201d). More locally, it lay within the Landcommissariat (later Bezirksamt, later still Landkreis or district) of Kusel and the Canton of Wolfstein. Horschbach was also an administrative seat, home to the B\u00fcrgermeisterei (\u201cmayoralty\u201d) for the three Herrmannsberg municipalities of Horschbach, Elzweiler and Welchweiler, and from the beginning until 1838 also for Bedesbach, a village on the river Glan. Such was the uniting force of this arrangement that until 1853, the villages of Horschbach and Elzweiler were regarded as one village. In 1923, the warriors\u2019 memorial for those who fell in the First World War was built. The following year, electric lighting was installed in Horschbach. At elections between 1920 and 1933 \u2013 in Weimar times \u2013 the strongest showings were among centre-right and rightwing parties, a common pattern in places with a strongly developed agricultural structure. Indeed, in the late 1920s and early 1930s, the Nazi Party (NSDAP) became quite popular in Horschbach. In the 1928 Reichstag elections, none of the local votes went to Adolf Hitler\u2019s party, but by the 1930 Reichstag elections, this had grown to 23.9%. By the time of the 1933 Reichstag elections, after Hitler had already seized power, local support for the Nazis had swollen to 92.5%. Hitler\u2019s success in these elections paved the way for his Enabling Act of 1933 (Erm\u00e4chtigungsgesetz), thus starting the Third Reich in earnest. It was not until 1949 that the first tractor, owned by a man named Ernst M\u00e4urer, made its appearance in Horschbach. Bavarian times ended with the Allied occupation after the Second World War and the region became part of the then newly founded state of Rhineland-Palatinate. The B\u00fcrgermeisterei of Horschbach, however, remained in force until 1968, when there was sweeping administrative restructuring in Rhineland-Palatinate. Horschbach then lost its administrative function, and since 1972 it has been an Ortsgemeinde within the Verbandsgemeinde of Altenglan. In 1956, a third schoolhouse was built. Like the first one, it is now used as a house. In 1968, 23 years after the war ended, the warriors\u2019 memorial for those who fell in the Second World War was built. That same year, the church got a new organ. In a turnaround from what was the pattern in Weimar times, left-leaning parties now do somewhat better in local elections, if not as strongly as in the other Herrmannsberg municipalities of Elzweiler and Welchweiler. In 1972, the \u201cM\u00fchlg\u00e4rten und Steinbach\u201d building plan was set forth. In 1973, Horschbach came in second at the district level in the contest Unser Dorf soll sch\u00f6ner werden (\u201cOur village should become lovelier\u201d), and the renovated church (new pews and heating) became ready for use. Modern sewerage was laid in 1975. In 1976 came the last day of school. The local primary school was closed on 28 July, as the ones in Elzweiler (27 June 1973) and Welchweiler (30 November 1966) already had been. The schoolchildren thereafter had to go to school in Rammelsbach. Another building plan was set forth in 1998, \u201cAm Hofacker\u201d. A linking street was built to the site the following year.

A visit to the Dutch town of Hengelo, close to the German border, had already been scheduled. On 11 March, the Dutch General Intelligence and Security Service received information that Kaya would try to reach Rotterdam by car. She could freely cross the border because of the Schengen Treaty. A crisis centre was established on the twenty-third floor of the Rotterdam World Port Center to coordinate police actions. Earlier, the Turkish consul in Rotterdam had indicated to the Mayor of Rotterdam, Ahmed Aboutaleb, that there were no plans for such a visit. It now proved impossible to contact the consul, which gave Aboutaleb the conviction that the consul knew of Kaya's attempt. A motorcade was intercepted but the car with the minister managed to drive away. It reached a small yard at the rear of the Turkish consulate. The Dutch police stopped Bet\u00fcl Sayan Kaya's entourage just metres from the Turkish consulate building. About twenty police officers, forming a special forces unit, the Dienst Speciale Interventies, masked and equipped with body armour and automatic weapons, arrested ten members of Kaya's bodyguard, on suspicion of illegally carrying firearms. A German source had indicated they had obtained a German weapons permit. No arms were discovered. Two other men were also arrested, who later proved to be the Deventer Turkish consul and the charg\u00e9 d'affaires of the Turkish embassy. They in principle enjoyed diplomatic immunity. The twelve arrested men were detained for two hours and their passports were seized. A stand-off ensued for several hours in which the Turkish minister refused to leave the car. Just after midnight, a special heavy tow truck, a lift flatbed, was driven into the yard and prepared to vertically hoist the 3.5 tonne car onto the flatbed, with the minister still in it, to transport her back to Germany. The minister now left the car and demanded entrance to the consulate invoking the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. The Dutch police had orders to arrest the minister if necessary. Ultimately, she gave in to the police demands to leave the country. At the time, many news sources assumed that she had been declared persona non grata. She was, loudly protesting, taken to another car, a black armoured Mercedes, by masked Dutch police officers who accompanied her to a police station at Nijmegen near the Dutch\u2013German border. Her passport was seized. She was not allowed to leave the station for one and a half hours, while being reunited with the ten bodyguards. She returned to Germany under German escort. Sporadic rioting occurred among the about a thousand pro-Erdo\u011fan protesters who had come to the Turkish consulate. They were met by Dutch riot police, who arrested twelve people for violent assault and not following police instructions. Kaya's passport was returned on 12 March, 18:00, to the Turkish consul. In April 2017, Kaya's lawyer said they would file a complaint against the Dutch government at court claiming that her expulsion from the Netherlands was illegal because she was not given a written statement of the reasons for the expulsion. However, on 2 May the case was dropped when it transpired that Kaya had never been formally declared persona non grata and that from a judicial point of view she had left the Netherlands voluntarily.\n", "title": "2017 Dutch\u2013Turkish diplomatic incident", "pid": "p_1638" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "briefly in the Drama School and soon after in the School of Art and Architecture under Paul Rudolph, Shadrach Woods, Robert Venturi, and Serge Chermayeff.", "indices": [ 683, 837 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Paul Rudolph (architect)", "Shadrach Woods", "Robert Venturi", "Serge Chermayeff" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "Which of Tzonis' teachers at Yale had the longest tenure at the university?", "qid": "q_3941" }, { "context": [ { "text": "There he taught and did advanced research in analytical design methods in association with Walter Isard and Ovadia Salama, receiving outside advice from Anatol Rapaport and Seymour Papert.", "indices": [ 1248, 1436 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Anatol Rapoport (; ; May 22, 1911January 20, 2007) was a Ukrainian-born American", "indices": [ 0, 80 ], "passage": "Anatol Rapoport" } ], "question_links": [ "Anatol Rapoport", "Seymour Papert" ], "answer": { "answer_value": "yes", "type": "binary" }, "question": "Are any of his outside consultants American when Tzonis was doing advanced research in analytical design methods?", "qid": "q_3942" }, { "context": [ { "text": "Tzonis studied architecture at the National Technical University of Athens (1956 -1961).", "indices": [ 120, 208 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "National Technical University of Athens" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "In which country did Tzonis studied architecture?", "qid": "q_3943" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 79, 91 ], "target": "Thessaloniki" }, { "indices": [ 155, 194 ], "target": "National Technical University of Athens" }, { "indices": [ 563, 575 ], "target": "Jules Dassin" }, { "indices": [ 602, 615 ], "target": "United States" }, { "indices": [ 666, 681 ], "target": "Yale University" }, { "indices": [ 770, 782 ], "target": "Paul Rudolph (architect)" }, { "indices": [ 784, 798 ], "target": "Shadrach Woods" }, { "indices": [ 800, 814 ], "target": "Robert Venturi" }, { "indices": [ 820, 836 ], "target": "Serge Chermayeff" }, { "indices": [ 1161, 1179 ], "target": "Harvard University" }, { "indices": [ 1200, 1216 ], "target": "Josep Llu\u00eds Sert" }, { "indices": [ 1339, 1351 ], "target": "Walter Isard" }, { "indices": [ 1401, 1416 ], "target": "Anatol Rapoport" }, { "indices": [ 1421, 1435 ], "target": "Seymour Papert" }, { "indices": [ 1776, 1779 ], "target": "Massachusetts Institute of Technology" } ], "text": "His grandfather was architect Alexandros Tzonis who designed many buildings in Thessaloniki during the Interwar period.

In 1879 he recommended four time zones across the contiguous United States, based upon Greenwich Mean Time. The General Time Convention (renamed the American Railway Association in 1891), an organization of US railroads charged with coordinating schedules and operating standards, became increasingly concerned that if the US government adopted a standard time scheme it would be disadvantageous to its member railroads. William F. Allen, the Convention secretary, argued that North American railroads should adopt a five-zone standard, similar to the one in use today, to avoid government action.

Since most players were committed contractually to the team in 2012, Wren acknowledged that he would likely make few major changes. One spot that was mentioned for a major overhaul was the shortstop position, where Alex Gonz\u00e1lez had played since the Yunel Escobar trade with Toronto in July 2010. Gonz\u00e1lez entered the offseason as a free agent and proved too expensive for the team. Wren ultimately allowed prospect Tyler Pastornicky the starting duties in 2012, until he was replaced by Andrelton Simmons in mid-June. When Simmons was hurt in July, Jack Wilson, Paul Janish, and Mart\u00edn Prado filled in for him. While center fielder Michael Bourn returned to his position in 2012, Wren also suggested that the corner outfield positions were areas of contention. In 2011, the Atlanta outfielders finished the season last in the National League in on-base plus slugging and slugging percentage. Wren stated that right fielder Jason Heyward and left fielder Mart\u00edn Prado had no guarantee of getting the starting jobs in 2012. On the day after the Braves were eliminated from the playoffs in 2011, Wren said that veteran starter Derek Lowe was unlikely to have a spot in the starting rotation in 2012, due his poor performance in 2011 and a plethora of rookie pitching talent in the Braves farm system. With Lowe guaranteed $15 million in 2012, Wren projected that any of Lowe's salary picked up by another team would significantly assist his efforts to find a shortstop or outfielder. By the end of October, Lowe was traded to the Indians.\n", "title": "2012 Atlanta Braves season", "pid": "p_1672" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "Hammer would fall to", "indices": [ 391, 411 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Jonathan Anthony Wisniski (born September 20, 1951)", "indices": [ 0, 51 ], "passage": "Greg Valentine" } ], "question_links": [ "Greg Valentine" ], "answer": { "answer_value": "41", "answer_unit": "years", "type": "value" }, "question": "How old was Greg Valentine when he defeated Hammer?", "qid": "q_4017" }, { "context": [ { "text": "In September he went on a ten match winning streak, defeating", "indices": [ 482, 543 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "\n\nDallas Page (born Page Joseph Falkinburg, April 5, 1956)", "indices": [ -2, 56 ], "passage": "Diamond Dallas Page" }, { "text": "Kevin Scott Nash (born July 9, 1959)", "indices": [ 0, 36 ], "passage": "Kevin Nash" }, { "text": "Raymond Fernandez (May 7, 1956 \u2013 March 6, 2004)", "indices": [ 0, 47 ], "passage": "Hercules (wrestler)" } ], "question_links": [ "Diamond Dallas Page", "Kevin Nash", "Hercules (wrestler)" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 557, "text": "Vinnie Vegas (Kevin Nash)", "passage": "Van Hammer", "end": 582 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "Of the people Hammer defeated in his ten match winning streak, which is the youngest?", "qid": "q_4018" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 123, 152 ], "target": "WCW World Television Championship" }, { "indices": [ 182, 192 ], "target": "WCW Main Event" }, { "indices": [ 335, 346 ], "target": "JT Southern" }, { "indices": [ 412, 426 ], "target": "Greg Valentine" }, { "indices": [ 544, 555 ], "target": "Diamond Dallas Page" }, { "indices": [ 557, 569 ], "target": "Kevin Nash" }, { "indices": [ 571, 581 ], "target": "Kevin Nash" }, { "indices": [ 588, 601 ], "target": "Hercules (wrestler)" }, { "indices": [ 603, 621 ], "target": "Hercules (wrestler)" }, { "indices": [ 660, 669 ], "target": "Rick Rude" }, { "indices": [ 702, 716 ], "target": "WCW Power Hour" }, { "indices": [ 755, 765 ], "target": "Erik Watts" }, { "indices": [ 769, 784 ], "target": "Halloween Havoc (1992)" }, { "indices": [ 812, 832 ], "target": "The Insiders (professional wrestling)" }, { "indices": [ 952, 962 ], "target": "Tony Atlas" }, { "indices": [ 964, 977 ], "target": "The Barbarian (wrestler)" }, { "indices": [ 983, 995 ], "target": "Mustafa Saed" }, { "indices": [ 1021, 1035 ], "target": "Brad Armstrong (wrestler)" } ], "text": "After briefly continuing his tag team with Big Josh, Hammer returned to singles competition and faced Steve Austin for the World Television Championship on the January 12 episode of Main Event, but was unable to win the title.

After the election of 2012 Plasterk was appointed as Minister of the Interior and Kingdom Relations in the Cabinet Rutte II, taking office on 5 November 2012. Plasterk took a medical leave of absence from 29 June 2016 until 16 September 2016 during which Minister for Housing and the Central Government Sector Stef Blok served as acting Minister of the Interior and Kingdom Relations. On 10 September 2016 Plasterk announced announced his retirement from national politics and that he wouldn't stand for the election of 2017.

According to Russian football regulations, when a player under 23 years of age who was raised in the club system transfers to a different club after his contract expires, his old club is due compensation from his new club. If the new club plays on the third level (Russian Second Division), the compensation is the player's 5 previous years' salary multiplied by 1, if his new club is in the National League Championship, it's multiplied by 2 and if it's a Russian Premier League club, it's multiplied by 3. The three players signed with a Russian Second Division team FC MITOS Novocherkassk who immediately loaned them to the Russian Premier League team FC Rostov. Spartak lodged a complaint with the Russian Football Union, claiming this was not a fair transfer as the only reason for it was to lower the compensation that FC Rostov was due to pay Spartak. After the protest was declined on 29 March 2011, Grigoryev was registered for FC Rostov and scored a goal on his debut against FC Lokomotiv Moscow on 2 April 2011, the game ended with a score of 1\u20131. FC Lokomotiv's president, Olga Smorodskaya, filed a complaint with the Russian Football Union and Premier League, claiming Grigoryev was not eligible to be registered and play for FC Rostov. Before the protest was heard, Grigoryev scored a goal in Rostov's 2-1 victory over FC Dynamo Moscow in the 2010\u201311 Russian Cup quarterfinal. The protest was heard by the RFU's Dispute Resolution Chamber on 21 April 2011. Smorodskaya insisted that FC MITOS did not have the transfer certificate from Spartak in their possession before the transfer deadline and therefore could not have legally registered Grigoryev. The protest was declined as, according to the league, Grigoryev et al. were registered with RFPL before the transfer deadline, even though they were not included on the official rosters on the league's website or in any other sources. The official league website actually still lists the date of their registration as 1 April. In another twist, in January 2012, Lokomotiv signed Grigoryev from FC MITOS. In March 2012, Court of Arbitration for Sport began considering Grigoryev's case. CAS made their decision in May 2012, denying Lokomotiv's appeal.\n", "title": "2011\u201312 Russian Premier League", "pid": "p_1691" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "Headquarters RAAF Station Richmond was formed as a separate entity on 20\u00a0April 1936, under the command of Group Captain Adrian \"King\" Cole.", "indices": [ 595, 734 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Air Vice Marshal Adrian Lindley Trevor Cole, CBE, DSO, MC, DFC (19\u00a0June 1895\u00a0\u2013 14\u00a0February 1966)", "indices": [ 0, 96 ], "passage": "Adrian Cole (RAAF officer)" } ], "question_links": [ "Adrian Cole (RAAF officer)" ], "answer": { "answer_value": "41", "answer_unit": "years", "type": "value" }, "question": "How old was Adrian \"King\" Cole the year that headquarters RAAF Station Richmond was formed as a separate entity?", "qid": "q_4061" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 239, 247 ], "target": "Victoria (Australia)" }, { "indices": [ 322, 332 ], "target": "Airco DH.9" }, { "indices": [ 351, 379 ], "target": "Royal Aircraft Factory S.E.5" }, { "indices": [ 544, 555 ], "target": "Harry Cobby" }, { "indices": [ 571, 583 ], "target": "William Bostock" }, { "indices": [ 715, 733 ], "target": "Adrian Cole (RAAF officer)" }, { "indices": [ 758, 773 ], "target": "No. 22 Squadron RAAF" }, { "indices": [ 781, 794 ], "target": "Hawker Hart" }, { "indices": [ 868, 907 ], "target": "No. 4 Squadron RAAF" }, { "indices": [ 944, 983 ], "target": "No. 6 Squadron RAAF" }, { "indices": [ 1050, 1064 ], "target": "No. 5 Squadron RAAF" }, { "indices": [ 1083, 1097 ], "target": "No. 9 Squadron RAAF" }, { "indices": [ 1115, 1148 ], "target": "No. 23 Squadron RAAF" }, { "indices": [ 1343, 1366 ], "target": "Charles Kingsford Smith" }, { "indices": [ 1371, 1382 ], "target": "Jean Batten" } ], "text": "A military flying school was set up at the site of the present-day RAAF base on 28\u00a0August 1916, when the area was known as Ham Common.

Mohit Chauhan has lent his voice for nine songs and he is voice of character Jordan (played by Ranbir Kapoor). In 2010, during the development of the album, Rahman stated, \"Rockstar is a character driven film and as one can guess from the title, there will be lots of guitar\". In 2010, several meetings of Ali and the lyricist brought into a phrase titled, \"Words destroy what I have to say\". The song (Jo Bhi Main) that brings out the dilemma of the protagonist. Kamil suggested the last two lines (In lafzon ke maayne jaaney kaun badalta hai, main kehta hoon kuch, aur matlab aur koi ho jaata hai) for the particular song. But Ali didn't accept the lines because the protagonist wasn't supposed to have this level of sophistication as he was not poetic. To make it sound like something that could come from character Jordan, Kamil toned down the original after a few more rounds of discussion the lines were \"Jo Bhi Main Kehna Chaahoon Barbaad Kare Alfaaz Mere\" in the soundtrack. Upon development of the vociferating words Sadda Haq, Kamil stated that the situation needed a politically charged number that Jordan performs before a surging crowd at the height of his artistic angst. The slogan was used by students during Kamil's college days in Punjab to protest against the administration's arbitrary announcement of exams. On writing lyrics of \"Phir Se Udd Chala\", the analogies, he stated on introduction of offtrack lines like \"Banu Raavan, Jiyoon Mar Marke\" (\"I become Raavan by continuing to live each time I die\"), \"The line was a metaphor for character Jordan who like the demon Ravan from the mythology Ramayana, dies a number of times and yet goes on with his life and that is why I used the Ravan simile.\" As per Rahman two songs Jo Bhi Mein and Sadda Haq aspire to be in the tradition of song Satisfaction by The Rolling Stones and song Another Brick in the Wall by Pink Floyd. Further, he added, \"Just like most rock songs stood for people's voices, here also the central character's cry relates to every one of us.\" In an interview with Mid-Day, he stated, \"I consciously kept away from using distorted guitars and heavy snazzy music. But I have done it here in Rockstar. Plus most songs are acoustic.\" For the song Katiya Karun singer Harshdeep Kaur noted that the song was recorded at AR Studios, Powai, Mumbai. Rahman asked the translation of Katiya Karun lyrics to which she explained the meaning to him. The lyrics translate as, \"I spin your cotton all night, the entire day is spent in this thought, I shall live and die for you, Be a spinning wheel O\u2019 my body.\" Rahman wanted it to be a very catchy number as it was going to be a fun song with Jordan and Heer (played by Nargis Fakhri) on the road. Rahman started composing and created the song right in front of the singer. Kaur stated that it wasn't a folk song, only the rhyme Katiya Karun belongs to a Punjabi folk content. A part of the song was shot at a discotheque and hence, Kamil put in subtle metaphor lyrics in the song lines translating, \"I will spin your cotton all night long\" that indirectly implied \"I will be at your services all night\", thus giving it an item song touch.\n", "title": "Rockstar (soundtrack)", "pid": "p_1699" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "The Dublin Grand Opera Society (DGOS) was founded in 1941", "indices": [ 0, 57 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "John Francis McCormack, Count of the Holy Roman Church, KSG, KSS, KHS (14 June 1884", "indices": [ 0, 83 ], "passage": "John McCormack (tenor)" } ], "question_links": [ "John McCormack (tenor)" ], "answer": { "answer_value": "57", "answer_unit": "years", "type": "value" }, "question": "What age was John McCormack the year that DGOS was founded?", "qid": "q_4076" }, { "context": [ { "text": "After the war ended the DGOS presented performances by European opera companies such as the Opera-Comique, Hamburg Opera and the Netherlands Opera", "indices": [ 452, 598 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "The Op\u00e9ra-Comique is a Paris opera company, which was founded around 1714", "indices": [ 0, 73 ], "passage": "Op\u00e9ra-Comique" }, { "text": "Opera in Hamburg dates to 2 January 1678", "indices": [ 299, 339 ], "passage": "Hamburg State Opera" } ], "question_links": [ "Op\u00e9ra-Comique", "Hamburg State Opera", "Dutch National Opera" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "Which European opera company presented by DGOS has been in operation for the greatest amount of years?", "qid": "q_4077" }, { "context": [ { "text": "The Dublin Grand Opera Society (DGOS) was founded in 1941", "indices": [ 0, 57 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "John McCormack (tenor)" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "Where did John McCormack live the year DGOS was founded?", "qid": "q_4078" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 139, 153 ], "target": "John McCormack (tenor)" }, { "indices": [ 289, 299 ], "target": "Irish Army" }, { "indices": [ 331, 363 ], "target": "RT\u00c9 National Symphony Orchestra" }, { "indices": [ 544, 557 ], "target": "Op\u00e9ra-Comique" }, { "indices": [ 559, 572 ], "target": "Hamburg State Opera" }, { "indices": [ 581, 598 ], "target": "Dutch National Opera" }, { "indices": [ 823, 840 ], "target": "Luciano Pavarotti" }, { "indices": [ 853, 862 ], "target": "Rigoletto" }, { "indices": [ 864, 875 ], "target": "La traviata" }, { "indices": [ 881, 890 ], "target": "La boh\u00e8me" }, { "indices": [ 939, 962 ], "target": "Arts Council (Ireland)" }, { "indices": [ 971, 982 ], "target": "F\u00e1ilte Ireland" }, { "indices": [ 1118, 1141 ], "target": "Romanian National Opera, Bucharest" }, { "indices": [ 1150, 1173 ], "target": "National Theatre (Prague)" } ], "text": "The Dublin Grand Opera Society (DGOS) was founded in 1941 by Captain (later Colonel) William O'Kelly and a group of opera enthusiasts with John McCormack as its patron.

According to the mall's then-general manager, Limited Brands had wanted to open all three brands at the mall for several years, and that all three were highly demanded by shoppers due to their presence at Meridian Mall. Following these additions, Lansing and Meridian malls had nearly 60 stores in common with each other and nearly 40 others that were unique to each. In 1995, the mall received new planters and an enlarged customer service booth. Meanwhile, RadioShack and Regis Hairstylists moved to new storefronts, Lane Bryant expanded its existing store, and Buckle, Bombay Company, and Pacific Sunwear joined.

The station's original signal box was built in 1886, to a London and North Western Railway (LNWR) design. This signal box was removed and replaced in 1932. After the opening of the Mersey Railway Tunnel in 1886, carriages were operated through Birkenhead Park, every half-hour, all the way to James Street station in Liverpool. As traffic increased, the line into West Kirby was doubled, from a single track, in 1896. After a board meeting on 28 October 1895, it was decided to extend the line from Hooton, into West Kirby.

The Milwaukee Road wanted a high-speed train for the competitive route between Chicago and Minneapolis. The cars were built in the company's shops, and the four A class locomotives were built by ALCO. Kuhler embellished their inverted bathtub look by a carefully colored livery. These Hiawatha trains became the fastest passenger service in the world by 1935. He had also designed the cars' interior, including the napkins and draperies in the dining car. His finned Beaver Tail observation car of the next generation was sensational, as were again the streamlined second-generation Milwaukee Road class F7 4-6-4 passenger locomotives designed by Kuhler.

A new building was being constructed in readiness for the Academy and funds had been secured, seemingly, through investment in the South Sea Company; but the latter's collapse led to plans for the Academy being placed on hold.\n\nAfter this false start, the Academy was opened by authority of a Royal Warrant in 1741: it was intended, in the words of its first charter, to produce \"good officers of Artillery and perfect Engineers\". Its 'gentlemen cadets' initially ranged in age from 10 to 30. To begin with they were attached to the marching companies of the Royal Artillery, but in 1744 they were formed into their own company, forty in number (enlarged to forty-eight, two years later) overseen by a Captain-Lieutenant. To begin with the cadets were accommodated in lodgings in the town of Woolwich, but this arrangement was deemed unsatisfactory (the cadets gained a reputation for riotousness) so in 1751 a Cadets' Barracks was built just within the south boundary wall of the Warren and the cadets had to adjust to a more strict military discipline. (The Cadets' Barracks was demolished in the 1980s for road widening.)\n\nEducation in the Academy focused at first on mathematics and the scientific principles of gunnery and fortification; French was also taught, for a small fee. In addition to their theoretical studies, the cadets shared (with all ranks of the Artillery) in what was called 'the Practice' of gunnery, bridge building, magazine technique and artillery work. While an Artillery officer attended each class to keep order, teaching in the Academy was provided by civilians: a First Master (later called Professor of Fortification and Gunnery), a Second Master (later Professor of Mathematics) and additional tutors in French, Arithmetic, Classics and Drawing. In 1764 the Royal Academy (as it had been known) had the word 'Military' added to its title, and at the same time a senior officer was appointed to serve as Lieutenant-Governor (de facto head of the institution). Moreover, the institution was split: younger cadets entered the Lower Academy, where they were taught reading, writing, arithmetic, Latin, French and drawing. If they performed well in examinations they were allowed to proceed to the Upper Academy, where they learned military skills and sciences (as well as fencing and dancing \u2013 required skills for prospective officers).\n\n", "indices": [ 431, 3090 ], "passage": "Royal Military Academy, Woolwich" } ], "question_links": [ "Edinburgh Academy", "Royal Military Academy, Woolwich" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 12, "text": "Royal Military Academy", "passage": "royal military academy, woolwich", "end": 34 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "Which of the academies that Stirling was educated at was the oldest?", "qid": "q_4148" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 12, 29 ], "target": "Edinburgh Academy" }, { "indices": [ 38, 70 ], "target": "Royal Military Academy, Woolwich" }, { "indices": [ 107, 122 ], "target": "Royal Artillery" }, { "indices": [ 145, 159 ], "target": "Battle of the Alma" }, { "indices": [ 168, 187 ], "target": "Battle of Balaclava" }, { "indices": [ 199, 217 ], "target": "Battle of Inkerman" }, { "indices": [ 233, 252 ], "target": "Siege of Sevastopol (1854\u20131855)" }, { "indices": [ 264, 275 ], "target": "Crimean War" }, { "indices": [ 328, 344 ], "target": "Second Opium War" }, { "indices": [ 385, 408 ], "target": "Second Anglo-Afghan War" }, { "indices": [ 697, 723 ], "target": "1893 Birthday Honours" }, { "indices": [ 742, 775 ], "target": "Lieutenant of the Tower of London" } ], "text": "Educated at Edinburgh Academy and the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, Stirling was commissioned into the Royal Artillery and saw action at the Battle of Alma, at the Battle of Balaclava and at the Battle of Inkerman as well as the Siege of Sevastopol during the Crimean War.

In October 2014, American filed a report to the DOT to launch flights from Los Angeles to Tokyo-Haneda in place of Delta's Seattle-Tacoma operating slot, sparking a war that lasted for over eight months. American was originally granted the slot as a back-up to Delta's Seattle-Haneda route if it failed to operate on a daily basis on March 28, 2015 (which would give the operating rights to American), but in June 2015, Delta announced the cancellation of its Seattle-Haneda service, claiming the daily operation was not feasible due to the route not being an economically viable one in the Seattle market due to certain regulatory and market conditions. American launched daily service from Los Angeles to Tokyo-Haneda on February 11, 2016 using their Boeing 787 aircraft.

Biblical scholars regard it as obvious, from their geographic overlap and their treatment in older passages, that originally Ephraim and Manasseh were considered one tribe \u2013 that of Joseph. The Book of Revelation, however, accords only Ephraim the tribal name of Joseph. According to several biblical scholars, Benjamin was originally part of the suggested Ephraim-Manasseh single \"Joseph\" tribe, but the biblical account of Joseph as his father became lost. A number of biblical scholars suspect that the distinction of the Joseph tribes (including Benjamin) is that they were the only Israelites which went to Egypt and returned, while the main Israelite tribes simply emerged as a subculture from the Canaanites and had remained in Canaan throughout. According to this view, the story of Jacob's visit to Laban to obtain a wife originated as a metaphor for this migration, with the property and family which were gained from Laban representing the gains of the Joseph tribes by the time they returned from Egypt; according to textual scholars, the Jahwist version of the Laban narrative only mentions the Joseph tribes, and Rachel, and does not mention the other tribal matriarchs at all. \n", "title": "Ephraim", "pid": "p_1738" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "spending a summer at the Aspen School of Music run by Juilliard School of Music.", "indices": [ 289, 369 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "The Aspen Music Festival and School (AMFS) is a classical music festival held annually in Aspen, Colorado.

With time, the English language regained prestige, and in 1362 it replaced French and Latin in Parliament and courts of law.

The first settlers who settled in the community had the last names Shelton, Avant, Hank, and Seagler. The community's fertile soil and moist climate made it feasible to grow cotton, and several plantations were established, including the Jackson Plantation, which, at one time, was one of the largest plantations in East Texas. They were extremely successful. A post office was established at Tennessee Colony in 1852. Before the Civil War, as well as after, the community fell victim to racial tensions. Two white men from Mississippi named Cable and Wyrick were accused of plotting a slave uprising in 1860, in which they encouraged slaves to kill most of the community's white residents by poisoning the water supply in the settlement. They were tried and hanged soon after. The nearby city of Palestine had the community's first railroad built there. As of 1884 Tennessee Colony boasted a population of 200 and three churches, a steam-powered gristmill, and a cotton gin. As the community's businesses moved to the nearby city of Palestine, the community's population plummeted over the next few decades. There were a few grocers and cotton gins in the area, and it eventually received a telephone connection. It functioned as a small cultural port in the 20th century. The population declined to just 100 people by 1914, rose again to 300 in 1927, but again declined during the 1930s. In 1941 there were 150 people in Tennessee Colony. A total of 21,000 acres of land was purchased just southwest of the settlement by the Texas Department of Corrections in 1965, and the first medium security prison facility named the Coffield Unit was built in the community and held approximately 2,000 prisoners. It reached its population zenith of 400 by that year. Then the Beto Unit, the community's second prison, was finished in 1984. There were factories built for fabricating metal, as well as building concrete blocks and highway signs, in these prison facilities. It also had thriving agricultural and livestock operations. It had a steady population of 120 from the 1970s to 1990. It had a population of 300 in 2000.

At that time Gustafson did not have a proper bass guitar so Barber converted an acoustic for him. The group became popular playing a wide range of music, from Latin American music to rock and roll, in dance halls in the Liverpool area. Casser also started his own music club in Liverpool, the Casanova Club, whose guest groups included one known at the time as the \"Silver Beetles\"; according to some reports, Casser had suggested that they change their name from the earlier spelling of \"Beatals\" which Casser found \"ridiculous\". In May 1960 Cass & the Cassanovas took part in auditions in front of leading manager Larry Parnes who was looking for backing bands for his stable of pop singers. The group secured a place as backing group for singer Duffy Power and toured with him.

In 1910 he opened an architectural firm with Hyrum Pope (Pope and Burton) in Salt Lake City, Utah. They were particularly fond of Frank Lloyd Wright and the Prairie School architectural style. As young architects, Pope & Burton won design competitions for two of their better-known works, the Cardston Alberta and Laie Hawaii temples of the LDS Church. Burton moved to Los Angeles, California in 1927 to set up another office in the firm with Pope. After Pope unexpectedly died in 1939, Burton established a new firm with his son Douglas W. Burton. Together they continued to design many buildings, including some for the church. In 1955, Harold became the chief supervising architect for the LDS Church. One of his final works was the Oakland California Temple. Aside from places of worship, Burton also designed civic buildings and homes.

Along with his friends, he founded the Ithaca Natural History Society to meet and discuss papers and insects. While out collecting one day, he met John Henry Comstock, who invited him to his lab at Cornell University. Howard enrolled in Cornell in September 1873, three years after the death of his father, and following the advice of his mother's friends, went to study civil engineering. Doing poorly in differential calculus made him drop engineering and he began to study other subjects including French, German, and Italian.

The final prehistoric Native American culture to inhabit what would become Nashville was a regional manifestation of the Mississippian Culture known as Middle Cumberland Mississippian, identified by archaeologists based on the specific combination of burial practices, artistic style, and ceramic styles. Recent studies suggest that Middle Cumberland Mississippian culture may be the result of interactions between local populations and outsiders from the American Bottom who moved into the western portion of the Nashville Basin around AD 1000, settling at the site of Mound Bottom. The archaeological footprint of the Middle Cumberland Mississippian culture appears throughout Nashville as the many platform mounds, extensive stone box cemeteries, palisaded villages, and small prehistoric farmsteads that have been destroyed by antiquarian scholars, relic hunters, and urban development. All archaeological evidence for Mississippian culture appears to vanish from the Nashville area by around AD 1475\u20131500. Archaeologists believe this regional collapse may have been the result of extreme pressures brought on by rapid population growth and dwindling resource availability following prolonged droughts leading to increased occurrences of disease, nutritional deficiencies, and warfare.\n", "title": "History of Nashville, Tennessee", "pid": "p_1811" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "Willson attended Frank Damrosch's Institute of Musical Art (which later became the", "indices": [ 217, 299 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": " In 1926, the Juilliard School of Music was created through a merger of the Institute of Musical Art and the Juilliard Graduate School.

When Harry Truman became president in April 1945, upon FDR's death, the vice presidency became vacant (the mechanism for filling intra-term vacancies had not yet been created by the 25th Amendment), and so McKellar became the permanent presiding officer of the United States Senate. Also, as the President pro tempore of the Senate had, prior to 1886, been second in the presidential line of succession, behind only the vice president, Truman viewed McKellar as the logical wartime replacement for himself, and asked McKellar to attend all Cabinet meetings. In 1947 Truman successfully lobbied Congress to pass a new Presidential Succession Act restoring both the Speaker of the House and the President pro tempore of the Senate to the succession ahead of the Cabinet secretaries. By the time the law came into effect, McKellar was no longer in the position of President pro tempore, because Republicans held the majority in the 80th Congress. Truman vetoed the Taft-Hartley Act in 1947 to restrict labor unions, which McKellar voted in favor of. As such Truman selected Alben Barkley of Kentucky as his running mate in the 1948 presidential election. When Democrats regained control as a result of the 1948 elections, McKellar again became President pro tempore. He was therefore second in line for the presidency (behind the Speaker of the House) from January 3, 1949 until January 20, 1949, when Alben Barkley took office as Vice President of the United States.\n", "title": "Kenneth McKellar (politician)", "pid": "p_1817" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "Kele Okereke, lead singer of London band Bloc Party,", "indices": [ 54, 106 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "born 13 October 1981", "indices": [ 35, 55 ], "passage": "Kele Okereke" } ], "question_links": [ "Kele Okereke" ], "answer": { "answer_value": "39", "answer_unit": "years old", "type": "value" }, "question": "How old is the lead singer of Block Party?", "qid": "q_4359" }, { "context": [ { "text": "Kele Okereke, lead singer of London band Bloc Party,", "indices": [ 54, 106 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Kele Okereke" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "Where was the lead singer of Bloc Party born?", "qid": "q_4360" }, { "context": [ { "text": "Kate Jackson, lead singer of English indie rock band The Long Blondes", "indices": [ 231, 300 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "born 16 September 1979", "indices": [ 15, 37 ], "passage": "Kate Jackson (singer)" } ], "question_links": [ "Kate Jackson (singer)" ], "answer": { "answer_value": "41", "answer_unit": "years old", "type": "value" }, "question": "How old is the lead singer of The Long Blondes?", "qid": "q_4361" }, { "context": [ { "text": "Kate Jackson, lead singer of English indie rock band The Long Blondes", "indices": [ 231, 300 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Kate Jackson (singer)" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "In what city was the lead singer of the Long Blondes born?", "qid": "q_4362" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 54, 66 ], "target": "Kele Okereke" }, { "indices": [ 95, 105 ], "target": "Bloc Party" }, { "indices": [ 160, 172 ], "target": "Dog Man Star" }, { "indices": [ 231, 243 ], "target": "Kate Jackson (singer)" }, { "indices": [ 284, 300 ], "target": "The Long Blondes" }, { "indices": [ 532, 547 ], "target": "Bury St Edmunds" }, { "indices": [ 550, 567 ], "target": "Christopher Owens" }, { "indices": [ 587, 596 ], "target": "Indie pop" }, { "indices": [ 603, 608 ], "target": "Girls (band)" }, { "indices": [ 712, 731 ], "target": "My Chemical Romance" }, { "indices": [ 741, 751 ], "target": "Gerard Way" }, { "indices": [ 816, 830 ], "target": "Hesitant Alien" }, { "indices": [ 890, 908 ], "target": "Sons and Daughters (band)" }, { "indices": [ 910, 923 ], "target": "Dum Dum Girls" }, { "indices": [ 929, 937 ], "target": "Drowners" }, { "indices": [ 968, 995 ], "target": "The Drowners" }, { "indices": [ 1016, 1025 ], "target": "Destroyer (band)" }, { "indices": [ 1049, 1052 ], "target": "Ken (album)" }, { "indices": [ 1083, 1096 ], "target": "The Wild Ones (song)" } ], "text": "Multiple artists have cited the band as an influence.

He found there was little difference between the sites because the garbage is compacted. The California landfills did have less paper than those in Illinois. Recycling is thought to be the cause of the paper difference between states. Rathje's research uncovered some other misconceptions about landfills. In particular, it was revealed that the rate of natural biodegradation is far slower than had been assumed (e.g., in capacity planning). It was found that the plastic bottles that were crushed at the top were able to be re-inflated easier than those that were at the bottom because of a new system of bottle making called light-weighting. This is the process of using less plastic in bottles to conserve material and save money. Light-weighting is not limited to plastic alone; this process is used for aluminum and paper as well. Rathje also found that Americans were wrong about what they thought they threw away most. When combined, the three most infamous types of trash\u2014diapers, fast food containers, and Styrofoam\u2014amounted to less than three percent of the landfill's waste. Rathje found that plastic was 20-24 percent of waste and paper alone was 40 percent of the waste found in landfills. Thirteen percent of this paper waste was from newspapers. Rathje states the irony of this fact in his book. He talks about how newspapers are usually the ones that report things such as waste and pollution and it is these same newspapers clogging the landfills. Rathje discusses the rate of closing landfills and how for every six small landfills closed one large landfill opens. At the time he published his book he predicted that in the next five years 50 percent of the landfills open at the time would close. He determined this from his findings. In an effort for states to prevent their area becoming a large landfill often states ship their trash to other states. States such as Michigan are taking measures to prevent their state from being the landing spot for the nation's trash. Michigan has found that in the past years most of their rise in trash rates are because of trash imports from Canada.\n", "title": "Garbology", "pid": "p_1821" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "The trade had a major effect on the indigenous people of the Pacific Northwest coast, especially the Aleut, Sugpiaq, Tlingit, Haida, Nuu-chah-nulth, and Chinook peoples.", "indices": [ 434, 603 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "A rapid increase of wealth occurred among the Northwest Coast natives, along with increased warfare, potlatching, slaving, and depopulation due to epidemic disease.", "indices": [ 604, 768 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Aleut" ], "answer": { "answer_value": "yes", "type": "binary" }, "question": "Did the trade affect the Aleut people negatively?", "qid": "q_4369" }, { "context": [ { "text": "The trade had a major effect on the indigenous people of the Pacific Northwest coast, especially the Aleut, Sugpiaq, Tlingit, Haida, Nuu-chah-nulth, and Chinook peoples.", "indices": [ 434, 603 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "i", "indices": [ 7, 8 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "the Aleut, Sugpiaq, Tlingit, Haida, Nuu-chah-nulth, and Chinook peoples", "indices": [ 531, 602 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Aleut", "Alutiiq", "Tlingit", "Haida people", "Nuu-chah-nulth", "Chinookan peoples" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 531, "text": "the Aleut, Sugpiaq, Tlingit, Haida, Nuu-chah-nulth, and Chinook peoples", "passage": "Maritime fur trade", "end": 602 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "Which people had the most benefit from the trade?", "qid": "q_4370" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 35, 52 ], "target": "Pacific Northwest" }, { "indices": [ 76, 95 ], "target": "International trade" }, { "indices": [ 172, 182 ], "target": "Capitalism" }, { "indices": [ 215, 226 ], "target": "Colonialism" }, { "indices": [ 230, 246 ], "target": "Triangular trade" }, { "indices": [ 311, 327 ], "target": "Hawaiian Islands" }, { "indices": [ 361, 374 ], "target": "Western world" }, { "indices": [ 420, 431 ], "target": "New England" }, { "indices": [ 535, 540 ], "target": "Aleut" }, { "indices": [ 542, 549 ], "target": "Alutiiq" }, { "indices": [ 551, 558 ], "target": "Tlingit" }, { "indices": [ 560, 565 ], "target": "Haida people" }, { "indices": [ 567, 581 ], "target": "Nuu-chah-nulth" }, { "indices": [ 587, 602 ], "target": "Chinookan peoples" }, { "indices": [ 705, 716 ], "target": "Potlatch" }, { "indices": [ 751, 759 ], "target": "Epidemic" }, { "indices": [ 895, 901 ], "target": "Totem" }, { "indices": [ 953, 967 ], "target": "Chinook Jargon" }, { "indices": [ 1065, 1080 ], "target": "Native Hawaiians" }, { "indices": [ 1535, 1556 ], "target": "Textile manufacturing" } ], "text": "The maritime fur trade brought the Pacific Northwest coast into a vast, new international trade network, centered on the north Pacific Ocean, global in scope, and based on capitalism, but not, for the most part, on colonialism.

The larger the air group, the more tasks it can perform. The Invincible class, because of its small size, had only a limited capacity, and was only capable of operating STOVL aircraft, the Harrier GR7/GR9. In 2006 the Sea Harrier was withdrawn from service. This saw the front line Sea Harrier squadron of the Fleet Air Arm converting to the Harrier GR9, as part of the evolution of the Joint Force Harrier concept. The Harrier's eventual replacement in both the RAF and the FAA is the F-35 Lightning II Joint Combat Aircraft. The F-35 will be a significant improvement over the Harrier, in terms of speed, range and weapon load. The UK had plans to order 138 F-35Bs for the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force. The financial crisis led to the decision taken in the Strategic Defence and Security Review 2010 to immediately withdraw the Harrier GR9 force in late 2010 along with HMS Ark Royal, to reduce the total number of F-35s planned for purchase by the UK, and to purchase the F-35C CATOBAR version rather than the STOVL F-35B. By May 2012, the government had decided to purchase the short-take off version, the F-35B instead. In July 2012, the Secretary of State for Defence stated that an initial 48 F-35Bs will be purchased to equip the carrier fleet. In September 2013, it was announced that the second JSF squadron would be the Fleet Air Arm's 809 NAS.

Between 1994 and 1997, UNICS secured a berth in Russia's first division, and then made a smashing debut, establishing itself among the top five teams in the country. UNICS had already played in European competitions in 1997, but the new millennium happened to be a turning point for the club. The team placed second to CSKA in the Russian Basketball Super League in 2001 and 2002, the year in which it also reached the Saporta Cup semifinals, losing against the Greek club Maroussi in the semifinals. UNICS' first title was the Russian Cup in March 2003, with an electrifying 81\u201382 overtime victory over CSKA. UNICS' fans did not have to wait long to see their team win a European title, too. Kazan hosted the FIBA Europe League final four, which was eventually named the FIBA EuroChallenge, in April 2004, and UNICS made sure of its opportunity. UNICS signed Saulius \u0160tombergas, Eurelijus \u017dukauskas, and Chris Anstey, and then won its regular season group, and advanced to the final four, which was held on its own floor, and where the club was crowned the FIBA Europe League champions. The MVP of the tournament's final four, Martin M\u00fc\u00fcrsepp, scored 22 points, in an 87\u201363 win over Maroussi, in the title game. By the 2005\u201306 season, UNICS went one level up, and made its ULEB Cup (later named EuroCup) debut, where they tied the best regular season record in the competition's history. However, things turned south quickly, as UNICS lost at home against Roma, for the only time all season, in the tournament's eighth finals\u2019 second leg, and crashed out earlier than expected. UNICS got stronger for the next season, keeping the core group of the previous season's side, while adding Darju\u0161 Lavrinovi\u010d to reunite with his twin brother K\u0161y\u0161tof Lavrinovi\u010d, in a twin-towers set full of talent.

Surrounded and under heavy fire from a numerically superior force, the American forces at LZ X-ray were able to hold off and drive back the North Vietnamese forces over three days of battle, largely through the support of both air power and heavy artillery bombardment, which the North Vietnamese lacked. LZ X-ray was considered an American tactical victory, as the Americans were able to exact an almost 10:1 kill ratio. At LZ Albany, the American forces were ambushed in close quarters.

Given the cerebral cortex's importance in many brain functions such as memory and thought, the presence of the inhibitory substance GABA supports the cognitive inhibition processes that go on in this area of the brain. Serotonin and dopamine, which can play inhibitory roles as well, are present in the brain in large quantities. All three of these neurotransmitters are capable of \"blocking\" the transmissions between neurons, which can ultimately result in cognitive inhibition. In addition, the presence of inhibitory connections in the central nervous system has been firmly demonstrated (Eccles, 1969). A process known as lateral inhibition, which involves the capacity of an excited neuron to reduce the activity of its neighbors, is integral in the biology of cognitive inhibition.

Later, in 1943, the Chinese were given a small quota, and the community's population gradually increased until 1968, when the quota was lifted and the Chinese American population skyrocketed. Today, the Manhattan Chinatown () is home to the largest concentration of Chinese people in the Western Hemisphere and is one of the oldest ethnic Chinese enclaves outside of Asia.

In the past few years, however, the Cantonese dialect that has dominated Chinatown for decades is being rapidly swept aside by Mandarin, the national language of China and the lingua franca of most of the latest Chinese immigrants.

DeBartolo Corporation formed a joint venture with Homart Development Company, a shopping mall development subsidiary of the department store chain Sears, to begin development on Castleton Square in 1971. DeBartolo announced the mall's development in January of that year and began groundbreaking soon afterward. The original plans called for a Y-shaped enclosed mall with three anchor stores: Sears, J. C. Penney, and Rike Kumler Co. (Rike's), a department store chain based out of Dayton, Ohio. The mall would be situated on 82nd Street just outside the Interstate 465 beltway within the Castleton neighborhood on the northeastern side of Indianapolis. It was the second of three malls built by DeBartolo as a part of its expansion into Indianapolis, following Lafayette Square Mall in 1968 and preceding Washington Square Mall in 1974. The company chose to build on the northeastern side of the Indianapolis metropolitan area, as the area was projected for further suburban growth in the intervening years. Similarly, research conducted by Sears showed a trend in residential growth to the city's northeast side, thus creating a market which the chain deemed suitable for a new store. To accommodate for mall traffic, the Indiana Department of Transportation expanded 82nd Street to a four-lane divided highway. Federated Department Stores (now Macy's, Inc.), then-owners of the Rike's chain, confirmed that the third anchor of Castleton Square would instead be Lazarus, a Columbus, Ohio-based chain then also under their ownership. Also confirmed as tenants for the mall by 1972 were a Kroger supermarket, an F. W. Woolworth Company dime store, and a three-screen movie theater. Inline tenants would include Robert Hall Clothes, Hickory Farms, Kinney Shoes, Zales Jewelers, Waldenbooks, and Orange Julius.\n", "title": "Castleton Square", "pid": "p_1880" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "With his forces he participated in the Battle of Moh\u00e1cs in 1526.", "indices": [ 454, 518 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Pavle Baki\u0107 (, ; (ca. 1484 - 20 September 1537) ", "indices": [ 0, 48 ], "passage": "Pavle Baki\u0107" }, { "text": "With his forces he participated in the Battle of Moh\u00e1cs in 1526.

Whereas \u03b1-MSH acts broadly on most members of the MCR family (with the exception of MC2-R), AGRP is highly specific for only MC3-R and MC4-R. This inverse agonism not only antagonizes the action of melanocortin agonists such as \u03b1-MSH but also further decreases the cAMP produced by the affected cells. The exact mechanism by which AgRP inhibits melanocortin-receptor signalling is not completely clear. It has been suggested that Agouti-related protein binds MSH receptors and acts as a competitive antagonist of ligand binding. Studies of Agouti protein in B16 melanoma cells supported this logic. The expression of AgRP in the adrenal gland is regulated by glucocorticoids. The protein blocks \u03b1-MSH-induced secretion of corticosterone.\n", "title": "Agouti-related peptide", "pid": "p_1903" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "The main party left England by sea on 20 January 1933, stopping at Gibraltar, where the Rock of Gibraltar \"offered a climbing problem or two\"", "indices": [ 0, 141 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "It is 426 m high", "indices": [ 202, 218 ], "passage": "Rock of Gibraltar" } ], "question_links": [ "Rock of Gibraltar" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 239, "text": "426 m high", "passage": "rock of gibraltar", "end": 249 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "How tall is the rock that \"offered a climbing problem\" for the 1933 British Mount Everest expedition?", "qid": "q_4551" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 67, 76 ], "target": "Gibraltar" }, { "indices": [ 88, 105 ], "target": "Rock of Gibraltar" }, { "indices": [ 147, 151 ], "target": "Aden" }, { "indices": [ 313, 319 ], "target": "Nepali language" }, { "indices": [ 538, 542 ], "target": "Agra" }, { "indices": [ 547, 561 ], "target": "Fatehpur Sikri" }, { "indices": [ 579, 587 ], "target": "Kolkata" }, { "indices": [ 624, 642 ], "target": "List of governors of Bengal" }, { "indices": [ 648, 661 ], "target": "John Anderson, 1st Viscount Waverley" }, { "indices": [ 699, 709 ], "target": "Darjeeling" }, { "indices": [ 780, 788 ], "target": "Siliguri" }, { "indices": [ 989, 1000 ], "target": "Solukhumbu District" }, { "indices": [ 1126, 1133 ], "target": "Sardar" }, { "indices": [ 1290, 1303 ], "target": "Kangchenjunga" } ], "text": "The main party left England by sea on 20 January 1933, stopping at Gibraltar, where the Rock of Gibraltar \"offered a climbing problem or two\", and Aden.

In fact, on 8 September 1940 both Battersea and West Ham Power Station were both shut down after the 7 September daylight attack on London. In the case of Battersea power station, an unused extension was hit and destroyed during November but the station was not put out of action during the night attacks. It is not clear whether the power station or any specific structure was targeted during the German offensive as the Luftwaffe could not accurately bomb select targets during night operations. In the initial operations against London, it did appear as if rail targets and the bridges over the Thames had been singled out: Victoria Station was hit by four bombs and suffered extensive damage. The bombing disrupted rail traffic through London without destroying any of the crossings. On 7 November, St Pancras, Kensal and Bricklayers Arms stations were hit and several lines of Southern Rail were cut on 10 November. The British government grew anxious about the delays and disruption of supplies during the month. Reports suggested the attacks blocked the movement of coal to the Greater London regions and urgent repairs were required. Attacks against East End docks were effective and many Thames barges were destroyed. The London Underground rail system was also affected; high explosive bombs damaged the tunnels rendering some unsafe. The London Docklands, in particular the Royal Victoria Dock, received many hits and Port of London trade was disrupted. In some cases, the concentration of the bombing and resulting conflagration created firestorms of 1,000\u00a0\u00b0C.

A cursory evaluation of the shuttle reveals a deactivated Optimus Prime within. Jessica, unable to sit by and watch the Autobots' greatest leader die convinces Gregory to help her rescue him, despite Gregory's own reservations. In a previous accident stemmed by a conflict between Optimus and Megatron, which he blames on Optimus, Gregory's face was scarred, rendering him distrustful of any Transformer from then on. Fortunately, they are able to rescue the Autobot leader and move away from the shuttle as it collides with the star and causes it to nova, their alloy proving sufficient enough to withstand the intense heat and radiation the explosion produced. With both missions a success, they head for home, but not before Gregory notices a series of unusual spores attaching themselves to their ship's hull. Back on Earth, in Washington, D.C. , Gregory and Jessica's father begin running tests on the spores, and soon discover them to be a highly infectious contagion able to induce and exacerbate hatred and destructive impulses in any sentient being they contaminate. Despite the obvious danger, the two scientists are eager to continue studying the spores, a prospect Jessica openly objects to. Before a consensus can be formed, however, their lab is attacked by the Terrorcons, who are after their new alloy. The Technobots quickly join in to protect the humans and the metal, and in the resulting battle, Jessica is severely wounded and taken to the local hospital. This prompts an angry backlash from Jessica's father, who is encouraged by Gregory to get revenge on both factions by reviving Optimus and using him as a carrier for the plague. This is exacerbated when they learn Jessica was rendered paraplegic in the accident, and now needs a specialized exosuit to walk. Unfortunately for them, they are unable to revive Optimus, and are content to scrap his body to make more of their alloy. Jessica makes a futile attempt to save Optimus by appealing to her father's and Gregory's sense of morality, and is only successful when they realize that, as the Autobots' leader, they could use Optimus' body as bait to lure the rest of the Autobots into a trap. Because of her friendship with the Autobots, Jessica is forced to lure them into the trap, something she hates and hopes she will not learn to hate her father and colleague for. She arrives on scene with Ultra Magnus, and meets with the new leader, Rodimus Prime. She tells Rodimus it's a trap though he does not care and assembles an assault team to retrieve Optimus' body so he can rest in peace. Ratbat hears this and goes back to an abandoned football stadium where Soundwave plays the recorded conversation for Galvatron, who is planning to destroy Prime's body. Then he took off with Cyclonus, Scourge, the Sweeps, the Stunticons, the Combaticons and the Predacons, leaving Soundwave and Ratbat in the football stadium. When they get there, Rodimus tells Defensor and a few other Autobots to stay behind, while the rest retrieve Optimus, but warns them not to touch any red dust. Rodimus tells Ultra Magnus to take the Aerialbots and Throttlebots and retrieve Optimus' body, while Rodimus and Jessica distract Swofford and Morgan. Defensor and several Autbots stay behind to guard against the Decpticons. Rodimus and Jessica find the body of Optimus in the wrong room, and realize too late the trap that is being laid for the other Autobots. Gregory floods the lab containing Ultra Magnus, the Aerialbots and the Throttlebots with the red spores; infecting all of them. Morgan and Swofford's plan is successful as the spores make Ultra Magnus, the Aerialbots and Throttlebots go crazy and fight each other and quickly the Decepticons (except Galvatron) join the diseased army. Rodimus and Jessica escape from being infected and head back to headquarters to Wreck Gar, not knowing that Ultra Magnus is following. Defensor is seen clearing the bridge while the sickened Superion comes on scene and infects Defensor. Kup, Blurr, Wheelie, Steeljaw, and Bumblebee try to subdue Superion but become severely injured. Rodimus asks Wreck-Gar and the Junkions if they can revive Optimus but they are unsuccessful. Rodimus shuts down Metroplex so he cannot be infected and tells Sky Lynx to retrieve a Quintesson to revive him. The sickened Ultra Magnus appears and chases Rodimus to an alley. It seems like he's doomed only to be saved by Wreck Gar with his lasso, but unfortunately Wreck Gar gets infected, and quickly infects Rodimus. The spores travel throughout the galaxy pitting everyone against each other, human and Transformer alike. In space, Sky Lynx manages to find a Quintesson getting chased by a group of diseased Sharkticons. Sky Lynx says he will save the Quintesson, in exchange of reviving Optimus which he agrees.

Manager Rob Page signed a new two-year contract in May 2015. However he needed to avoid a poor start to the season as chairman Norman Smurthwaite warned he was prepared to make \"ruthless decisions\" if the club were struggling by September. The first signings of the season were powerful former loanee defender Remie Streete from Newcastle United, and former Norwich City youth player Sam Kelly. Midfielder Sam Foley also joined the \"Valiants\" on a two-year contract, choosing to leave relegated Yeovil Town just after picking up Yeovil's Player of the Year award. Page further strengthened the defence and midfield by signing Walsall right-back Ben Purkiss and Crewe Alexandra defensive midfielder Anthony Grant. Page needed to find a cost effective forward with the club both short on strikers following the departure of Tom Pope and Ben Williamson and with little funds available due to a large cut to the wage bill, and so brought in young Watford striker Uche Ikpeazu on loan, having been impressed by Ikpeazu's performances for Crewe last season. Another former Crewe favourite, A-Jay Leitch-Smith, was also signed after impressing Page during pre-season. The eighth and final summer signing was Ryan Inniss, who was confirmed as joining on a season long loan from Crystal Palace after being linked with a return to Vale Park for many weeks. On 6 August, Vale signed goalkeeper Jak Alnwick on a short-term deal; he was signed to compete with Sam Johnson for a first team place as Chris Neal was out injured at the start of the season.\n", "title": "2015\u201316 Port Vale F.C. season", "pid": "p_1923" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "The same month in which Adventures into the Unknown premiered, the comic-book company EC, which would become the most prominent horror-comics publisher of the 1950s, published its first horror story, \"Zombie Terror\", by the then relatively unknown writer and artist Johnny Craig", "indices": [ 237, 515 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Adventures into the Unknown", "EC Comics", "Johnny Craig" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "What month did EC publish its first horror story, \"Zombie Terror\"?", "qid": "q_4589" }, { "context": [ { "text": "Almost simultaneously,Trans-World Publications issued its one-and-only comic, the one-shot Mysterious Traveler Comics #1 (November 1948), based on the Mutual Broadcasting Network's radio show of that name and including amid its crime and science-fiction stories a reprint of the Edgar Allan Poe adaptation \"The Tell Tale Heart\"", "indices": [ 554, 881 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Edgar Allan Poe (; born Edgar Poe; January 19, 1809 \u2013 October 7, 1849)", "indices": [ 0, 70 ], "passage": "Edgar Allan Poe" }, { "text": "Almost simultaneously,Trans-World Publications issued its one-and-only comic, the one-shot Mysterious Traveler Comics #1 (November 1948), based on the Mutual Broadcasting Network's radio show of that name and including amid its crime and science-fiction stories a reprint of the Edgar Allan Poe adaptation \"The Tell Tale Heart\",", "indices": [ 554, 882 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Edgar Allan Poe" ], "answer": { "answer_value": "no", "type": "binary" }, "question": "Was Poe still alive when Trans-World Publications printed a reprint of his story \"The Tell Tale Heart\"?", "qid": "q_4590" }, { "context": [ { "text": "Following the postwar crime comics vogue spearheaded by publisher Lev Gleason's Crime Does Not Pay, which by 1948 was selling over a million copies a month", "indices": [ 0, 155 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Crime Does Not Pay is the title of an American comic book series published between 1942 and 1955", "indices": [ 0, 96 ], "passage": "Crime Does Not Pay (comics)" } ], "question_links": [ "Lev Gleason Publications", "Crime Does Not Pay (comics)" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 124, "text": "1942 ", "passage": "crime does not pay (comics)", "end": 129 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "What year was the first issue of Gleason's comic that was selling a million copies a month by 1948?", "qid": "q_4591" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 22, 34 ], "target": "Crime comics" }, { "indices": [ 66, 77 ], "target": "Lev Gleason Publications" }, { "indices": [ 80, 98 ], "target": "Crime Does Not Pay (comics)" }, { "indices": [ 162, 176 ], "target": "Romance comics" }, { "indices": [ 261, 288 ], "target": "Adventures into the Unknown" }, { "indices": [ 323, 325 ], "target": "EC Comics" }, { "indices": [ 503, 515 ], "target": "Johnny Craig" }, { "indices": [ 636, 644 ], "target": "One-shot (comics)" }, { "indices": [ 705, 732 ], "target": "Mutual Broadcasting System" }, { "indices": [ 735, 758 ], "target": "The Mysterious Traveler" }, { "indices": [ 833, 848 ], "target": "Edgar Allan Poe" }, { "indices": [ 861, 880 ], "target": "The Tell-Tale Heart" }, { "indices": [ 898, 913 ], "target": "Charlton Comics" } ], "text": "Following the postwar crime comics vogue spearheaded by publisher Lev Gleason's Crime Does Not Pay, which by 1948 was selling over a million copies a month, came romance comics, which by 1949 outsold all other genres, and horror comics.

A return to form saw Marriott score four goals in five matches and increased his tally for the season to 12 goals after a 1\u20130 win away to Leyton Orient on 5 March. Marriott was named Luton Town Player of the Season, voted for by the club's supporters, and joint winner of the Luton Town Young Player of the Season award along with Cameron McGeehan on 1 May, chosen by the Luton Town management team. His fourth brace of 2015\u201316 in a 4\u20131 win at home to Exeter City on 7 May saw him finish the season as Luton's top scorer with 16 goals in 44 appearances.

His father, Charalambos Pagratidis, captain of the Greek army in World War II, was assassinated by ELAS guerillas during the civil war period in 1945. The family (Aristidis' brother Pangratis, his sister Marika, himself and their mother Eleni), having lost their basic support, left Langadikia and settled in Toumba. The mother tried to preserve the family by taking any available work, later acquainting with a bus collector, Evgenios Alexiadis, marrying him and keeping with them Aristidis, while the older children were sent to live with relatives in Piraeus. Aristidis, or Aristos as some called him, attended only the first two grades of primary school (of which the first grade took three years to finish), and had problem with writing and reading. He worked various menial jobs, from a lemon seller to a glazier, from a shredder to a waiter and from a hammock at the Thessaloniki harbor, to an assistant in amusement parks. At the age of 10 he was sexually assaulted by a chemist for drachmas. Since then, when hunger threatened his life, he was used this way to make money. One of his first clients was a blacksmith named Vasilis Baradazoglou, who, in his court statement said with the lure of the little money he gave him, Pagratidis let him laugh: This child, Pagratidis, I met ten years ago. He sold his body for ten drachmas. He was coming with me and doing the job. I approached him. I knew it was a sign. We went to Rendzhi, I gave him 15 drachmas. I've been with him many times. So have other men in the harbor. In 1955, he stole 120 drachmas from the canteen of the P.A.O.K. gymnasium, was arrested and put under a child welfare program. In the same year, he stole and sold two bikes along with a friend, and with the money he planned to move to Athens. But both were apprehended, tried by the Minority Court of Thessaloniki and sent to the Minor Restoration Center in Vido. In 1957 he left the institution, returned to Thessaloniki and resumed work at the port. He also worked as a waiter in a country house, a waiter in a cafeteria, and any other work that he could find. In 1959, while working in the city circus, he was drafted into the army. In 1960, he was put into the 20th Armored Cavalry Division. After his desertion in May 1961, he was dismissed as mentally disturbed due to his drug addiction. He often visited prostitutes, but was also issued to men willing to pay as a cross-dresser, smoking hashish and drinking wine.In the typical way at the time, the court prosecutor wrote: \"Pangratidis, in no case of diligence and education, has been turned into a way of corruption, having acquired a great deal of anomalous character and confused ...

The group used recording techniques such as multitrack recording, tape loops, and analogue synthesisers. Snippets from interviews with the band's road crew, as well as philosophical quotations, were also used. Engineer Alan Parsons was responsible for many sonic aspects and the recruitment of singer Clare Torry, who appears on \"The Great Gig in the Sky\". The sleeve, which depicts a prism spectrum, was designed by Storm Thorgerson, following keyboardist Richard Wright's request for a \"simple and bold\" design, representing the band's lighting and the record's themes.

He began his architectural practice in New York City in 1899 and then moved to Los Angeles in 1903. He partnered with John Parkinson soon after arriving in Los Angeles. After leaving the partnership with Parkinson, Bergstrom oversaw a successful solo practice. In the 1920s and 1930s, Bergstrom was associated with the Pasadena architectural firm of Bennett and Haskell. He won a design competition in 1923 to design the City of Pasadena Civic Auditorium, which anchors the south end of the city's civic center. In the late 1920s, Bergstrom was one of five prominent Los Angeles architects, organized as the Allied Architects of Los Angeles, involved in designing the Los Angeles County/USC Medical Center General Hospital (1933), an architectural monument in East Los Angeles. Bergstrom was commissioned as the chief consulting architect for the United States War Department in 1941. In this capacity, he served as the chief architect for the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. (1941\u201343). Bergstrom was also actively involved in the American Institute of Architects (AIA), serving as the national organization's treasurer for over 40 years and as president in 1939 and 1940. During their partnership, Parkinson & Bergstrom became the dominant architectural firm hired to design major buildings in Los Angeles. This prominent partnership designed over 25 buildings in the 10 years of their collaboration, with the majority located in the city's burgeoning downtown. Besides the Metropolitan Building, there are four other Parkinson & Bergstrom buildings located within the boundaries of the Broadway Commercial and Entertainment Historic District. As is evidenced in the Metropolitan Building, Parkinson & Bergstrom commercial buildings typically reflect influences of the Beaux Arts or Classical Revival styles popular at the turn of the century with exterior use of glazed terra cotta, decorative spandrel panels, low relief sculptural ornamentation, and large projecting cornices.\n", "title": "Metropolitan Building (Los Angeles)", "pid": "p_1954" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "Ou's intended destination was Bismarck, North Dakota", "indices": [ 322, 374 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Bismarck () is the capital of the U.S. state of North Dakota and the county seat of Burleigh County.

On Hutten's return to the capital, Santa Ana de Coro, in 1546, the Spanish governor Juan de Carvajal had Hutten and Bartholomeus VI Welser executed, and Charles subsequently revoked Welser's charter.\n", "title": "Spain\u2013Venezuela relations", "pid": "p_1966" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "Nazario Moreno's partners were Jos\u00e9 de Jes\u00fas M\u00e9ndez Vargas, Servando G\u00f3mez Mart\u00ednez and Enrique Plancarte Sol\u00eds", "indices": [ 657, 768 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Jos\u00e9 de Jes\u00fas M\u00e9ndez Vargas (born 28 February 1974)", "indices": [ 0, 51 ], "passage": "Jos\u00e9 de Jes\u00fas M\u00e9ndez Vargas" }, { "text": "Servando G\u00f3mez Mart\u00ednez (born February 6, 1966)", "indices": [ 0, 47 ], "passage": "Servando G\u00f3mez Mart\u00ednez" }, { "text": "Enrique Plancarte Sol\u00eds (14 September 1970 \u2013 31 March 2014)", "indices": [ 0, 59 ], "passage": "Enrique Plancarte Sol\u00eds" } ], "question_links": [ "Jos\u00e9 de Jes\u00fas M\u00e9ndez Vargas", "Servando G\u00f3mez Mart\u00ednez", "Enrique Plancarte Sol\u00eds" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 717, "text": "Servando G\u00f3mez Mart\u00ednez", "passage": "La Familia Michoacana", "end": 740 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "Which of Moreno's partners was oldest?", "qid": "q_4672" }, { "context": [ { "text": "Nazario Moreno's partners were Jos\u00e9 de Jes\u00fas M\u00e9ndez Vargas, Servando G\u00f3mez Mart\u00ednez and Enrique Plancarte Sol\u00eds, each of whom has a bounty of $2 million for his capture, and were contesting the control of the organization.", "indices": [ 657, 879 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "M\u00e9ndez was captured at a road checkpoint on June 21, 2011", "indices": [ 1118, 1175 ], "passage": "Jos\u00e9 de Jes\u00fas M\u00e9ndez Vargas" }, { "text": "On February 27, 2015, he was arrested by Mexican security forces in Morelia, Michoac\u00e1n.", "indices": [ 383, 470 ], "passage": "Servando G\u00f3mez Mart\u00ednez" }, { "text": "Plancarte Sol\u00eds was killed in a gunfight with soldiers of the Mexican Navy on 31 March 2014 in Col\u00f3n, Quer\u00e9taro.", "indices": [ 1299, 1411 ], "passage": "Enrique Plancarte Sol\u00eds" } ], "question_links": [ "Jos\u00e9 de Jes\u00fas M\u00e9ndez Vargas", "Servando G\u00f3mez Mart\u00ednez", "Enrique Plancarte Sol\u00eds" ], "answer": { "answer_value": "yes", "type": "binary" }, "question": "Have any of Moreno's partners already been captured?", "qid": "q_4673" }, { "context": [ { "text": "Formerly allied to the Gulf Cartel\u2014as part of Los Zetas\u2014it split off in 2006.", "indices": [ 194, 271 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "The second leader, Nazario Moreno Gonz\u00e1lez, known as El M\u00e1s Loco", "indices": [ 358, 422 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Nazario Moreno Gonz\u00e1lez (8 March 1970 \u2013 9 March 2014)", "indices": [ 0, 53 ], "passage": "Nazario Moreno Gonz\u00e1lez" } ], "question_links": [ "Nazario Moreno Gonz\u00e1lez" ], "answer": { "answer_value": "36", "answer_unit": "years", "type": "value" }, "question": "How old was the second leader of the cartel when it split of from Los Zetas?", "qid": "q_4674" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 109, 120 ], "target": "Drug cartel" }, { "indices": [ 127, 142 ], "target": "Organized crime" }, { "indices": [ 183, 192 ], "target": "Michoac\u00e1n" }, { "indices": [ 217, 228 ], "target": "Gulf Cartel" }, { "indices": [ 240, 249 ], "target": "Los Zetas" }, { "indices": [ 298, 320 ], "target": "Carlos Rosales Mendoza" }, { "indices": [ 342, 356 ], "target": "Osiel C\u00e1rdenas Guill\u00e9n" }, { "indices": [ 377, 400 ], "target": "Nazario Moreno Gonz\u00e1lez" }, { "indices": [ 480, 492 ], "target": "Divinity" }, { "indices": [ 601, 607 ], "target": "Contract killing" }, { "indices": [ 688, 715 ], "target": "Jos\u00e9 de Jes\u00fas M\u00e9ndez Vargas" }, { "indices": [ 717, 740 ], "target": "Servando G\u00f3mez Mart\u00ednez" }, { "indices": [ 745, 768 ], "target": "Enrique Plancarte Sol\u00eds" } ], "text": "La Familia Michoacana, (English: The Michoac\u00e1n Family) La Familia (English: The Family), or LFM is a Mexican drug cartel and a organized crime syndicate based in the Mexican state of Michoac\u00e1n.

Over his career, West has been the voice talent for close to 120 different characters including some of the most iconic animated figures in television history. He has become one of the few voice actors who can impersonate Mel Blanc in his prime, including characterizations of Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, the voice Arthur Q. Bryan used for Elmer Fudd, as well as other characters from Warner Bros. cartoons. In 1998, Entertainment Weekly described West as \"the new Mel Blanc\" and noted his ability to mimic well-known voices, though he would rather develop original voices. West's favorite characters are Philip J. Fry and Stimpy, both of which he originated. West has been very outspoken over his displeasure about the influx of movie star actors providing voice-over for films and major shows. West has stated that he did not like the Disney version of Doug and that he \"couldn't watch\" the show. West was the voice of the show's namesake, Geeker, throughout Project Geekers 13-episode run. West was the voice of Zim in the original pilot for Invader Zim. Richard Steven Horvitz was chosen for the series role because West's voice was too recognizable, according to creator Jhonen Vasquez during DVD commentary. West is the voice of \"Red\" in numerous M&M commercials as well as the 3-D movie I Lost my M in Vegas, currently playing at M&M's World in Las Vegas, Nevada. He also voices a number of minor characters in the series . He voiced the character Moobeard in Moobeard the Cow Pirate, a short animation featured on Random! Cartoons and reprises his role as Elmer Fudd in Cartoon Network's series The Looney Tunes Show.

Septem possessed an heirloom bronze vessel with an eastern design, which was in fact the Monster Fusion Vessel. He had heterochromic pupils of blue and brown, garnering discrimination and distrust from his peers and fellow knights over his somewhat Eastern appearance. Miles (\u9ea5\u723e\u65af) (the reincarnation of Satan whose memories and innate powers had not yet been fully awakened), a knight-commander under the guidance of the cleric Cornelius (\u5eb7\u90a3\u91cc\u58eb) (the Dread Lord of Hell in disguise), was the polar opposite of his rival Septem, enforcing the Church's will without mercy and question, executing those designated as heretics without hesitation, and had the affection of Lilian (\u8389\u84ee), a pure maiden Septem had courted in vain. Pepin himself, however, favored Septem, and gave him a quest of great import. He was to go to the East, and find the way to achieve Absolute Victory/the Way of the King. During the journey, a simpleminded demoness named Nicole (\u59ae\u53ef) joined Septem after being summoned by a strange dying man Septem tried to help, as an agent sent by Satan. Her mission was to awaken Septem's memory of his past life, in which he was Lucifer's most trusted ally who took part in Lucifer's Rebellion, and to convert him to Satan's cause once more, accompanied with promises of wealth, power, and demonic servants, but she eventually abandoned her mission over the fondness she developed for Septem. Kama, a self-proclaimed spirit of love, and Ankh, a snarky talking flying Egyptian black cat accompanying Kama (both of whom Septem encountered in the Tadmor Tombs), as well as Li Jing (\u674e\u9756), a Chinese mortal-turned-deity who oversaw the establishment of the Tang dynasty, whose reincarnated self, Master Huiyan, previously accompanied Septem for a short time before sacrificing himself in an attempt to stop a war between the Abbasid Caliphate (which recently overthrew Umayyad rule) and Tang (which ended in the defeat of the Tang forces led by Gao Xianzhi), also joined the party. Septem also met his eventual wife, Widad (\u8587\u9054), a military leader who defied Arabian patriarchal traditions and who was the reincarnated spirit twin of Kama, and the young grandson of Al-Kindi, whom Septem studied under for a short time around the time of the Abbasid Revolution, as well as Wang Siyue (\u738b\u601d\u6708), a willful young woman from Chang'an with feelings for Septem, along his journey. After finally reaching China and encountering a variety of conflicts, including the An Lushan Rebellion, the group discovered Satan's plan to subjugate all worlds by using the Reversal of Mandala Ritual (\u53cd\u66fc\u9640\u7f85\u9663), which Septem's past incarnation invented and gained time traversal powers from, to modify the natural laws of causality, and managed to foil it with the assistance of The Immortal of Xuan-yuan Sword (the avatar of the Xuan-Yuan Sword who takes on the form of a stern and wise old man). After Satan's defeat, Septem married Widad, returned to assist Charlemagne with lessons from his journey-that a ruler must rule in the best interests of the commonfolk, and the way to ensure victory lies in the prevention and cessation of conflicts, and later reunited with Nicole, who was reborn once more as a normal girl by the grace of Heaven.\n", "title": "Xuan-Yuan Sword", "pid": "p_1971" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "Caroline contributed vocals to Blood Orange's \"Chamakay\" (2013)", "indices": [ 795, 858 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Devont\u00e9 Hynes (born David Joseph Michael Hynes, 23 December 1985), also known as Blood Orange", "indices": [ 0, 93 ], "passage": "Dev Hynes" } ], "question_links": [ "Dev Hynes" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 23, "text": "Devont\u00e9 Hynes", "passage": "dev hynes", "end": 36 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "What band(s) the artist whose song \"Chamakay\" Polachek contributed vocals belong to?", "qid": "q_4680" }, { "context": [ { "text": "In late 2013, Polachek wrote and produced \"No Angel\", which was featured on Beyonc\u00e9's critically acclaimed fifth studio album, Beyonc\u00e9.

This project inspired the development of the Walking Institute and a further focus on walking as an artistic medium. In 2012 Ethiopian artist Mihret Kebede developed Slow Marathon, an artistic project in response to her inability to walk from her hometown of Addis Ababa to Huntly. The project consisted of an accumulative marathon that included miles donated remotely by international participants, as well as two twenty-six mile walks in Huntly and Addis Ababa. Ultimately, over five-hundred individuals participated in the project and donated 14172.4 miles, a total of 540 marathons. The project has since become an annual event, created in conjunction with artists working with Devon Projects The 2013 Slow Marathon, Cabrach to Huntly, was held on John Muir Day and served as the official launch of the Institute. The 2014 event started at the Glenkindie on the edge of the Cairngorms National Park. Other Walking Institute projects have included: In the Footsteps of Nan Shepherd: a long distance walk looking by Simone Kenyon at issues, plights and pleasures of women walking in wilderness; Huntly Perambulator, a series of walks by Clare Qualmann looking at walking with prams; Hielan\u2019 Ways, a programme that included poetry (Alec Finlay), music (Paul Anderson) and art (Simone Kenyon, Gillian Russel). Hielan\u2019 Ways explored the old drover routes that cross north-east Scotland and culminated in a symposium with contributions from mountaineer Doug Scott , Turner Prize-winning artist Richard Long and the Cloud Appreciation Society.

Following schooling at Norwich School he was entered at Corpus Christi, Cambridge at age thirteen, under Thomas Tenison. He became a fellow of his college in 1668, and graduated M.A. in 1670. After some years spent in tuition and in studying medicine, he went to France and attended the lectures of Raymond Vieussens at Montpellier, under the patronage of Ralph Montagu (afterwards Duke of Montagu), then British ambassador to France. To him Briggs dedicated his Ophthalmographia, an anatomical description of the eye, published at Cambridge in 1676, on his return from France. He proceeded M.D. at Cambridge in 1677, and was elected a fellow of the London College of Physicians in 1682. In the latter year the first part of his Theory of Vision was published by Robert Hooke (Philosophical Collections, No. 6, p.\u00a0167); the second part was published in the Philosophical Transactions in 1683. The Theory of Vision was translated into Latin, and published in 1685 by desire of Sir Isaac Newton, who wrote a commendatory preface to it, acknowledging the benefit he had derived from Briggs's anatomical skill and knowledge. A second edition of the Ophthalmographia was published in 1687. Several points in Briggs's account of the eye are noteworthy, one being his recognition of the retina as an expansion in which the fibres of the optic nerve are spread out ; another, his laying emphasis upon the hypothesis of vibrations as an explanation of the phenomena of nervous action. Briggs practised with great success in London, especially in diseases of the eye ; was physician to St. Thomas's Hospital 1682-9, physician in ordinary to William III of England from 1696, and censor of the College of Physicians in 1685, 1686, 1692. In 1689, according to a curious memorial on one sheet preserved in the British Museum, Dr. Briggs was at great expense in vindicating the title of the crown to St. Thomas's Hospital, but was himself dismissed from his post, owing, as he states, to the machinations of a rival physician. From the same sheet we learn that, although he attended the royal household with great zeal for five years, he could get no pay ; and notwithstanding that in 1698 William III promised that he should be considered, this was of no avail. In consequence of these circumstances, apparently early in Anne's reign, he begs for consideration in regard to the hospital appointment. He died on 4 September 1704, at Town Malling in Kent. His son, Henry Briggs, chaplain to George II, and rector of Holt, Norfolk, erected a cenotaph to his father's memory in Holt church in 1737.

The main British troops returned to New York for the winter season. They left mainly Hessian troops in New Jersey. These troops were under the command of Colonel Rall and Colonel Von Donop. They were ordered to small outposts in and around Trenton. Howe then sent troops under the command of Charles Cornwallis across the Hudson River into New Jersey and chased Washington across New Jersey. Washington's army was shrinking, due to expiring enlistments and desertions, and suffered from poor morale, due to the defeats in the New York area. Most of Washington's army crossed the Delaware River into Pennsylvania north of Trenton, New Jersey, and destroyed or moved to the western shore all boats for miles in both directions. Cornwallis (under Howe's command), rather than attempting to immediately chase Washington further, established a chain of outposts from New Brunswick to Burlington, including one at Bordentown and one at Trenton, and ordered his troops into winter quarters. The British were happy to end the campaign season when they were ordered to winter quarters.

On his missionary tour through Connacht in 434 or 435, St Patrick came to the territory of Corcoghlan, present day Elphin. The chief of that territory, a noble Druid named Ono, gave land and afterwards his castle or fort to St Patrick to found a church and monastery. The place, which had hitherto been called Emlagh-Ono (a derivation of its owners name) received the designation of Ail Finn, which means \"rock of the clear spring\". It derives from a story of St Patrick raising a large stone from a well opened by him in the land of Ono and placed on its margin. A copious stream of crystal water flowed from the well and continues to flow through Elphin to this day. St Patrick built a church called Tempull Phadruig (Patrick's church) and established an Episcopal See in Elphin. St Asicus remained as bishop of Elphin. St Patrick also founded an episcopal monastery or college at Elphin, believed to be one of the first monasteries founded by him.

Manager Neil Aspin had previously tried to sign him at F.C. Halifax Town and Gateshead. He was unable to play in the club's 2018\u201319 pre-season friendlies because of an unresolved disciplinary issue with The Football Association. He scored a goal and won a penalty on his debut on the opening day of the new season on 4 August, helping the \"Valiants\" to record a 3\u20130 victory over Cambridge United at Vale Park.

Aspin then switched to a 3\u20134\u20133 / 5\u20134\u20131 formation, leaving Miller to compete with Ben Whitfield for a place at wide midfield. Miller fell out of first-team contention by November, leaving Aspin to comment that \"you have to be perfectly honest, he has not done the job at the moment that I brought him to do and, like I say, he has to do better.\" He was recalled to the first-team on 19 January, following an injury to Tom Pope, and scored his second league goal for the club to secure a 1\u20130 win at Crawley Town.

An injury to Pope saw new manager John Askey return Miller to the starting eleven on 9 March, and he doubled his league tally for the season with both Vale goals in a 2\u20131 win over promotion-chasing Mansfield Town; his performance saw him named on the EFL team of the week. He ended the campaign with six goals in 22 starts and 13 substitute appearances. His contract was terminated by mutual consent on 27 June, and the club refused to comment on the reasons behind his departure.

By mid-June the Soviets started negotiations with the Baltic republics on condition they agreed to freeze their declarations of independence. The Soviets had a bigger challenge elsewhere, in the form of the Russian Federal Republic proclaiming sovereignty in June. Simultaneously the Baltic republics also started to negotiate directly with the Russian Federal Republic. In Autumn 1990, they set up a customs border between the Baltic states, the Russian Federation and Belarus. After the failed negotiations the Soviets made a dramatic attempt to break the deadlock and sent troops to Lithuania and Latvia in January 1991. The attempts failed, dozens of civilians were killed, and the Soviet troops decided to retreat. In August 1991, the hard-line members of the Soviet government attempted to take control of the Soviet Union. One day after the coup on 21 August, the Estonians proclaimed independence. Shortly afterwards Soviet paratroops seized the Tallinn television tower. The Latvian parliament made similar a declaration at the same day. The coup failed but the Collapse of the Soviet Union became unavoidable. On 28 August, the European Community welcomed the restoration of the sovereignty and independence of the Baltic states. The Soviet Union recognised the Baltic independence on 6 September 1991. The Russian troops stayed for an additional three years, as Boris Yeltsin linked the issue of Russian minorities with troop withdrawals. Lithuania was the first to have the Russian troops withdrawn from its territory in August 1993. On 26 July 1994 Russian troops withdrew from Estonia and on 31 August 1994, Russian troops withdrew from Latvia. The Russian Federation ended its military presence in Estonia after it relinquished control of the nuclear facilities in Paldiski on 26 September 1995 and in Latvia after Skrunda-1 suspended operations on 31 August 1998 and subsequently dismantled. The last Russian soldier left Skrunda-1 in October 1999, thus marking a symbolic end to the Russian military presence on the soil of the Baltic countries.\n", "title": "Baltic states under Soviet rule (1944\u20131991)", "pid": "p_1991" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "Later that century, missionaries discussed the possibility of moving Nuestra Se\u00f1ora del Refugio Mission to the site, but decided against the idea due to conflict with the Lipan Apaches.", "indices": [ 888, 1073 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Spanish missions in Texas\n", "indices": [ -27, -1 ], "passage": "Spanish missions in Texas" } ], "question_links": [ "Spanish missions in Texas" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 32, "text": "Texas\n", "passage": "spanish missions in texas", "end": 38 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "Where is the Nuestra Senora del Refugio Mission located?", "qid": "q_4733" }, { "context": [ { "text": "The next decade, a colony for freed slaves was proposed by abolitionist Benjamin Lundy, who had to cancel after the outbreak of the Texas Revolution.", "indices": [ 1188, 1337 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "The Texas Revolution (October 2, 1835 \u2013 April 21, 1836)", "indices": [ 0, 55 ], "passage": "Texas Revolution" } ], "question_links": [ "Texas Revolution" ], "answer": { "answer_value": "1", "answer_unit": "year", "type": "value" }, "question": "The Texas Revolution lasted how many years?", "qid": "q_4734" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 10, 17 ], "target": "Spanish language" }, { "indices": [ 133, 147 ], "target": "Alonso de Le\u00f3n" }, { "indices": [ 534, 573 ], "target": "Ren\u00e9-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle" }, { "indices": [ 635, 652 ], "target": "Mississippi River" }, { "indices": [ 680, 696 ], "target": "Jos\u00e9 de Escand\u00f3n, 1st Count of Sierra Gorda" }, { "indices": [ 707, 712 ], "target": "Villa" }, { "indices": [ 957, 991 ], "target": "Spanish missions in Texas" }, { "indices": [ 1059, 1072 ], "target": "Lipan Apache people" }, { "indices": [ 1163, 1173 ], "target": "Pastry War" }, { "indices": [ 1260, 1274 ], "target": "Benjamin Lundy" }, { "indices": [ 1320, 1336 ], "target": "Texas Revolution" } ], "text": "Nueces is Spanish for \"nuts\", and refers to the pecan trees that grew along the banks of the Nueces River, noted by Spanish explorer Alonso De Le\u00f3n in 1689.

Berk's wife, Shirley H. Berk (born c. 1950), a microbiologist who had served on a school board while they lived in Johnson City, Tennessee, was at church. The culprit, Jack Lindsey Jordan (born in 1963 in Seminole, Texas), gained entry from an open rear garage door and an unlocked back entrance to the residence. Normally, both the garage and the back door would have been locked. Jordan demanded money and jewelry to pay for transportation and narcotics, particularly methamphetamines, as he proceeded along Interstate 40 west toward New Mexico. After being held for four hours in Jordan's vehicle on a cool, windy day, common to the Panhandle in March, Berk was released unharmed near a gasoline station in rural Bushland in southwestern Potter County.

In 1967, they performed at the Monterey Pop Festival and released the US top\u00a0ten single \"I Can See for Miles\", while touring extensively. The group's fourth album, 1969's rock opera Tommy, included the single \"Pinball Wizard\" and was a critical and commercial success. Live appearances at Woodstock and the Isle of Wight Festival, along with the live album Live at Leeds, cemented their reputation as a respected rock act. With their success came increased pressure on lead songwriter Townshend, and the follow-up to Tommy, Lifehouse, was abandoned. Songs from the project made up 1971's Who's Next, which included the hit \"Won't Get Fooled Again\". The group released the album Quadrophenia in 1973 as a celebration of their mod roots, and oversaw the film adaptation of Tommy in 1975. They continued to tour to large audiences before semi-retiring from live performances at the end of 1976.

Following the Grand Council vote of 24 July 1943 in which Ciano joined with the majority and opposed his father-in-law, voting to invite King Victor Emmanuel III to \"resume his full constitutional powers\", and the ensuing political take-over by General Pietro Badoglio, Ciano was on the receiving end of a vicious press campaign, deprived of a passport, and kept under virtual house arrest at his home in Italy. He began to fear for his personal safety and that of his family. On 27 August 1943 German intelligence arranged for Ciano and his family to be transported to Ciampino airfield, while avoiding the Italian police. Ciano was picked up by one car while his wife Edda and their three children were taken while walking in the park, by a different route, by another car, to a pre-assigned meeting point in the city where they were placed in a German army truck for the airport transfer. From Ciampino they were flown to Munich on board a Luftwaffe Ju 52 transport. What Ciano regarded as his escape was organised personally by Beetz's new boss Wilhelm H\u00f6ttl. For H\u00f6ttl and German Intelligence, the over-riding objective of the \"Ciano operation\" was to obtain Ciano's diaries and extensive supporting papers concerning his years at the heart of Italy's political establishment, which the German government feared might include incriminating or embarrassing information about relations between the two governments or, indeed, about the German foreign minister, Joachim von Ribbentrop (whom Ciano was known to hate). \n", "title": "Hilde Purwin", "pid": "p_2011" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "In 1999, he was signed by Fiorentina for 28 billion lire (\u20ac14.46 million), a team looking to expand and bring in better players, in an attempt to keep club captain and talisman Gabriel Batistuta.", "indices": [ 0, 195 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Founded by a merger in August 1926", "indices": [ 122, 156 ], "passage": "ACF Fiorentina" } ], "question_links": [ "ACF Fiorentina" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 180, "text": "1926", "passage": "acf fiorentina", "end": 184 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "What year was the team Enrico Chiesa signed with in 1999 founded?", "qid": "q_4788" }, { "context": [ { "text": "In 1999, he was signed by Fiorentina for 28 billion lire (\u20ac14.46 million), a team looking to expand and bring in better players, in an attempt to keep club captain and talisman Gabriel Batistuta.", "indices": [ 0, 195 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "In the 2000\u201301 season, Batistuta left for Roma and Fiorentina were plagued with injuries and financial problems.", "indices": [ 431, 543 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Fiorentina have played at the top level of Italian football for the majority of their existence; only four clubs have played in more Serie A seasons.", "indices": [ 209, 358 ], "passage": "ACF Fiorentina" }, { "text": "Roma have participated in the top-tier of Italian football for all of their existence except for 1951\u201352.\n\nRoma have won Serie A three times, in 1941\u201342, 1982\u201383 and 2000\u201301, as well as winning nine Coppa Italia titles and two Supercoppa Italiana titles.

By 1926, when it was time to construct a new meeting house in Poughkeepsie, the number of local \u201cHicksite\u201d Quakers was diminishing, so many had joined the Orthodox Quakers. Alfred Bussel, a New York City architect, was chosen to design a meeting house that appealed to all members. Since he had studied at Haverford College, a Quaker school, Bussell was very familiar with the Society of Friends traditions. One branch had suggested a church-like structure with steeple, organ, and stained-glass windows, while the other wanted a more traditional style meeting house, i.e. evoking simplicity, equality, community, and peace. The design therefore was a unity between the two branches, a sign of what was to come with the official reunification in the 1950s. The result is a simple, colonial revival building without stained-glass or any sort of liturgical ornamentation or symbols, as per Quaker tradition, but had a single front door (Quaker meeting houses had separate entrances for men and women) and an interior layout akin to a church; a central aisle with rows of pews on either side all facing the front of the building.\n", "title": "Poughkeepsie Meeting House (Hooker Avenue)", "pid": "p_2014" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "On 24 January, in his second league game since his debut for this competition at the bench (a 1\u20131 away draw with Deportes Antofagasta),", "indices": [ 0, 135 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Deportes Antofagasta, is a Chilean football club based in the city of Antofagasta,", "indices": [ 0, 82 ], "passage": "C.D.

The second patron saint of the church is Saint Blaise, of whom St. Quintin had a head reliquary. St. Quintin was first mentioned in a document in 774. Later, the first inner-city parish cemetery was located near the church (first mention in sources around 1100). It is regarded as certain that St. Quintin already existed in the 8th century; in the 7th and 8th centuries an extensive church building activity had begun in Mainz. Today's construction began around 1288 and was completed around 1330 in Gothic art. As early as 1348, this building suffered severe damage when a fire, set during a plague pogrom, spread from the nearby Jewish quarter to the church, which destroyed the windows of the nave and melted down the city bell in the tower. Starting 1425 the damage could be repaired. The chapel extension south of the choir with the old sacristy (today's storeroom) was built as well. During the Thirty Years' War the church served as a barracks for the Swedish troops. At times evangelical church services were held there. In 1721 the church was completely redesigned baroque and re-equipped. In 1813 the church served again as barracks, this time for the French troops after the Battle of Leipzig. The church underwent a fundamental renovation and repair from 1869 to 1888, after it had been rescued by master builder Eduard Krey\u00dfig from imminent demolition due to dilapidation. The church was furnished in neo-Gothic style. Only the neo-Gothic choir barriers on both sides of the nave have survived from this phase. During the Second World War, the church was severely damaged during the air raids on Mainz in 1942, but the walls were preserved. The valuable arm relic of Saint Quintin was burnt, as were other precious pieces of equipment. The reconstruction and renovation began immediately. A provisional roof was put on during the war and already in 1948 the church could be used again. After the war, it served as a church room for the French garrison. A new relic of Quintin could be worshipped again since 4 November 1950 at the mediation of the bishop of Soisson Pierre Auguste Marie Joseph Douillard.

When mixed with egg yolk it turns green-grey. It is also known by the names blue bice and blue verditer, though verditer usually refers to a pigment made by chemical process. Older examples of azurite pigment may show a more greenish tint due to weathering into malachite. Much azurite was mislabeled lapis lazuli, a term applied to many blue pigments. As chemical analysis of paintings from the Middle Ages improves, azurite is being recognized as a major source of the blues used by medieval painters. Lapis lazuli (the pigment ultramarine) was chiefly supplied from Afghanistan during the Middle Ages, whereas azurite was a common mineral in Europe at the time.

Levy, Gene \"saw the craters on the Moon as logical impact sites that were formed not gradually, in eons, but explosively, in seconds.\" For his Ph.D. degree at Princeton (1960), under the guidance of Harry Hammond Hess, Shoemaker studied the impact dynamics of Barringer Meteor Crater. Shoemaker noted Meteor Crater had the same form and structure as two explosion craters created from atomic bomb tests at the Nevada Test Site, notably Jangle U in 1951 and Teapot Ess in 1955. In 1960, Edward C. T. Chao and Shoemaker identified (coesite) at Meteor Crater, proving the crater was formed from an impact generating extremely high temperatures and pressures. They followed this discovery with the identification of coesite within suevite at N\u00f6rdlinger Ries, proving its impact origin.\n", "title": "Impact crater", "pid": "p_2077" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "In the fall of 1777 forces of the British Army successfully captured Philadelphia, the seat of the Second Continental Congress, which was forced to relocate to York, Pennsylvania.", "indices": [ 0, 179 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Philadelphia, known colloquially as Philly, is the largest city in the U.S. state and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and the sixth-most populous U.S. city with a 2018 census-estimated population of 1,584,138.", "indices": [ 0, 207 ], "passage": "Philadelphia" }, { "text": "The population within York's city limits was 43,718", "indices": [ 221, 272 ], "passage": "York, Pennsylvania" } ], "question_links": [ "Philadelphia", "York, Pennsylvania" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 69, "text": "Philadelphia", "passage": "Conway Cabal", "end": 81 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "Which of the cities which was a seat of the Second Continental Congress had a larger population?", "qid": "q_4936" }, { "context": [ { "text": "In the fall of 1777 forces of the British Army successfully captured Philadelphia, the seat of the Second Continental Congress, which was forced to relocate to York, Pennsylvania", "indices": [ 0, 178 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Congress was again forced to flee Philadelphia at the end of September 1777, as British troops occupied the city;

In contrast, the northern army of General Horatio Gates had won a signal victory over John Burgoyne's forces, compelling Burgoyne to surrender his entire army after the Battles of Saratoga. Gates controversially claimed credit for the victory. Some historians feel that this was more due to the actions of Benedict Arnold, who, in the first battle on September 19, effectively and almost independently defended his forces against British assaults. It was also alleged that Gates had failed to provide Arnold with adequate reinforcements which would have turned the battle into an outright American victory, although there is not universal agreement on this matter. Gates was politically well connected to Congress. Some congressmen such as Richard Henry Lee, John Adams, and Samuel Adams wanted tighter Congressional control of the war effort and supported Gates. Although John Adams did not specifically call for Washington to be replaced, he worried that Washington was being made into a military idol, and was fearful of the effects of this upon republicanism. \n", "title": "Conway Cabal", "pid": "p_2078" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "In July, she reached another quarterfinal as a qualifier at the Baltic Open, where she was stopped by Bernarda Pera", "indices": [ 336, 451 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Bernarda Pera", "2019 Baltic Open" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "What did Pera end up placing?", "qid": "q_4941" }, { "context": [ { "text": "In October, she won $80,000 ITF Women's Circuit Internationaux F\u00e9minins de la Vienne tournament by defeating Liudmila Samsonova in straight sets.", "indices": [ 681, 826 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "ITF Women's Circuit" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "Where was the ITF Women's circuit located?", "qid": "q_4942" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 169, 177 ], "target": "2019 N\u00fcrnberger Versicherungscup \u2013 Singles" }, { "indices": [ 221, 233 ], "target": "Alison Riske" }, { "indices": [ 282, 301 ], "target": "Sara Sorribes Tormo" }, { "indices": [ 320, 334 ], "target": "Sorana C\u00eerstea" }, { "indices": [ 400, 411 ], "target": "2019 Baltic Open" }, { "indices": [ 438, 451 ], "target": "Bernarda Pera" }, { "indices": [ 497, 518 ], "target": "Aliaksandra Sasnovich" }, { "indices": [ 540, 555 ], "target": "Paula Ormaechea" }, { "indices": [ 665, 679 ], "target": "Sharon Fichman" }, { "indices": [ 709, 728 ], "target": "ITF Women's Circuit" }, { "indices": [ 729, 765 ], "target": "Internationaux F\u00e9minins de la Vienne" }, { "indices": [ 790, 808 ], "target": "Liudmila Samsonova" } ], "text": "After missing the first several months of the season, Stojanovi\u0107 returned to court in April 2019 and as a qualifier reached her second career WTA quarterfinal in May in N\u00fcrnberg.

He had only worked under that name for just over a year when he became involved in a storyline feud against El Pantera, the rivalry escalated to the point where both wrestlers agreed to put their masks on the line in a Lucha de Apuestas, or \"bet match\", the most prestigious match type in Lucha Libre. The match took place on December 7, 1997 in International Wrestling Revolution Group's (IWRG) Arena Naucalpan in Naucalpan, State of Mexico with Bombero Infernal losing the match, which forced him to unmask in the middle of the ring, state his birthname and how long he had been a wrestler. Oftentimes losing the mask means the end of a specific ring character, but Martinez stuck with the Bombero Infernal ring characters in the years after his loss. On January 10, 1999 Bombero Infernal won the IWRG Intercontinental Middleweight Championship from Mr. Niebla and held the championship for 146 days straight. The title change was part of a long running storyline between Bombero and Mr. Niebla that saw Mr. Niebla regain the championship on June 6, 1999 but ultimately lose it to Bombero Infernal once again on October 24, 1999. His second reign ended at the hands of \u00daltimo Vampiro on December 16, 1999 when he defeated Bombero Infernal. In late 2000 Bombero Infernal teamed up with Cripta and El Enterrador to defeat the team of Super Cal\u00f3, Alan Stone and Moto Cross to win the Distrito Federal Trios Championship. On November 19, 2000 Bombero Infernal regained the IWRG Intercontinental Middleweight Championship from \u00daltimo Vampiro.

A month later he also lost the Middleweight Championship to Black Dragon. Later that year Bombero Infernal defeated \u00daltimo Vampiro to win the Middleweight Championship for a fourth time, at the time someone other than the previous \u00daltimo Vampiro was playing the character. The match between the two ended in a controversial fashion, leading IWRG to take the championship away from Bombero Infernal only one week later. In 2002 Bombero Infernal rekindled his storyline with El Pantera, going so far as to put his hair on the line against Pantera's Middleweight Championship, in a match that saw Bombero victoriously claim his fifth IWRG Intercontinental Middleweight Championship. His fifth reign lasted 95 days in total before it coming to an end when Tony Rivera defeated him. On November 11, 2002 Bombero Infernal, El Hijo del Diablo and El Engendro defeated Dr. Cerebro, Cirujano and Paramedico to win the DF Trios Championship once again, a title they would quickly lose to a new group called Los Megas (Mega, Omega and Ultra Mega)\n", "title": "Bombero Infernal", "pid": "p_2085" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "The Melrose Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Iowa City, Iowa, United States.", "indices": [ 0, 117 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Iowa\n\nIowa City is a city in Johnson County, Iowa, United States.", "indices": [ -6, 59 ], "passage": "Iowa City, Iowa" } ], "question_links": [ "Iowa City, Iowa" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 74, "text": "United States", "passage": "iowa city, iowa", "end": 87 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "In what county is the Melrose Historic District locted?", "qid": "q_4957" }, { "context": [ { "text": "This neighborhood first developed as a sparsely populated rural area, and between World War I and World War II developed into an automobile suburb.", "indices": [ 379, 526 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": " It is also one of the deadliest conflicts in history, with an estimated nine million combatants and seven million civilian deaths as a direct result of the war", "indices": [ 470, 630 ], "passage": "World War I" }, { "text": "World WarII was the deadliest conflict in human history, marked by 70 to 85 million fatalities", "indices": [ 571, 665 ], "passage": "World War II" } ], "question_links": [ "World War I", "World War II" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 477, "text": "World War II", "passage": "Melrose Historic District (Iowa City, Iowa)", "end": 489 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "Which of the two wars between which Melrose Historic Distrcict developed into an automobile suburb had the most casualities?", "qid": "q_4958" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 57, 74 ], "target": "Historic districts in the United States" }, { "indices": [ 86, 101 ], "target": "Iowa City, Iowa" }, { "indices": [ 139, 175 ], "target": "National Register of Historic Places" }, { "indices": [ 265, 287 ], "target": "National Register of Historic Places property types" }, { "indices": [ 293, 310 ], "target": "National Register of Historic Places property types" }, { "indices": [ 351, 377 ], "target": "National Register of Historic Places property types" }, { "indices": [ 461, 472 ], "target": "World War I" }, { "indices": [ 477, 489 ], "target": "World War II" }, { "indices": [ 550, 568 ], "target": "University of Iowa" }, { "indices": [ 610, 620 ], "target": "Iowa River" }, { "indices": [ 647, 687 ], "target": "University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics" }, { "indices": [ 743, 755 ], "target": "Howard Jones (American football coach)" }, { "indices": [ 772, 785 ], "target": "Iowa Hawkeyes football" } ], "text": "The Melrose Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Iowa City, Iowa, United States.

The success of this, together with that of a three-day festival of oratorio held by Richard Hobbs and Capel Bond in 1767, led to Kempson's suggestion that large-scale musical performances \"upon similar principles to those at St. Bartholemew's\" might be used to raise money to support the Birmingham General Hospital, which was then lying half-built for lack of funds. This resulted in the first three-day Birmingham Music Meeting, which was held in September 1768. Oratorios were performed at St Philip's and at the King Street Theatre to a \"brilliant and crowded audience\" including a \"concourse of Nobility and Gentry from this and the neighbouring counties\", with an orchestra of 25 conducted by Bond and a chorus of 45 from the Musical and Amicable Society trained by Kempson, raising a total of \u00a3200 (the equivalent of \u00a310,000 in late 20th century terms) for the hospital. A second Music Meeting like that of 1768 was held in 1774 to raise money for the building of St. Mary's Chapel in Whittal Street, and with building work on the General Hospital again paused for lack of funds, in 1778 Kempson suggested a similar event be held for the joint benefit of the hospital and St Paul's Church in the Jewellery Quarter, where was newly installed as choirmaster. Further festivals were held in 1780 and 1784, after which the trustees of the General Hospital resolved to establish the event as the regular Birmingham Triennial Music Festival, which would take place every three years with only two interruptions until 1914.\n", "title": "Classical music of Birmingham", "pid": "p_2087" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "After she starred in the Broadway production of Bloomer Girl, 20th Century Fox signed Holm to a movie contract in 1946.", "indices": [ 0, 119 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "formed from the merger of the Fox Film Corporation and Twentieth Century Pictures in 1935.", "indices": [ 417, 507 ], "passage": "20th Century Fox" } ], "question_links": [ "20th Century Fox" ], "answer": { "answer_value": "11", "answer_unit": "years", "type": "value" }, "question": "How long had 20th Centuy Fox been established when they signed Holm to a movie contract?", "qid": "q_4960" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 48, 60 ], "target": "Bloomer Girl" }, { "indices": [ 62, 78 ], "target": "20th Century Fox" }, { "indices": [ 162, 188 ], "target": "Three Little Girls in Blue" }, { "indices": [ 224, 235 ], "target": "Technicolor" }, { "indices": [ 394, 417 ], "target": "Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress" }, { "indices": [ 421, 442 ], "target": "Gentleman's Agreement" }, { "indices": [ 486, 499 ], "target": "All About Eve" }, { "indices": [ 666, 681 ], "target": "The Tender Trap (film)" }, { "indices": [ 705, 717 ], "target": "High Society (1956 film)" }, { "indices": [ 751, 764 ], "target": "Frank Sinatra" }, { "indices": [ 812, 825 ], "target": "New York City" }, { "indices": [ 833, 836 ], "target": "CBS" }, { "indices": [ 855, 873 ], "target": "Honestly, Celeste!" }, { "indices": [ 972, 977 ], "target": "American Broadcasting Company" }, { "indices": [ 978, 1006 ], "target": "The Pat Boone Chevy Showroom" } ], "text": "After she starred in the Broadway production of Bloomer Girl, 20th Century Fox signed Holm to a movie contract in 1946.

Born in Houston, Texas, Milo was the niece of John W. Abercrombie, U.S. congressman from Alabama and acclaimed by noted portraitist Harrison Fisher as \"California's greatest beauty\". They had two children, Wilhelm Friedrich (1918-1980) and Maria A. (1917-2010). She divorced von Brincken in 1919 during his imprisonment and legally changed her and their two children's last name back to her maiden name, Abercrombie, so her children would not be \"ashamed\" of their name. Despite the divorce, von Brincken remained devoted to his former wife and she was able to remarry again, thanks to him. When the Roman Catholic Church forbade Abercrombie's intended marriage to U.S. Navy lieutenant Lyman K. Swenson, due to her divorce, von Brincken came forth and disclosed his earlier marriage to Alice Roedel. As both Roedel and von Brincken were Catholic, that marriage was sanctioned by the Church. Thus, the Church did not recognize von Brincken's later marriage to Abercrombie. Abercrombie and Swenson, who had both refused to marry unless it was sanctioned by the Catholic Church were then free to wed. Abercrombie and Swenson were married on August 11, 1920 by Father John Byrne at St Mary's Cathedral in San Francisco. At the wedding dinner that night, von Brincken's young son with Abercrombie, referred to as \"John\" and \"Buster\" in the press, was a \"guest of honor\" and toasted by his new stepfather and the officers of the submarine H-6 that he commanded, pledging, \"the little chap's future to the uniform of blue.\" Swenson and Abercrombie had two children, Lyman K. Jr. (\"Robert\") and Cecilia. Abercrombie obtained an interlocutory decree of divorce from Swenson in May 1925, with the final decree a year later. Several months later, in October 1925, the newspapers speculated that Abercrombie would marry another naval officer, Lieutenant Commander Hugo W. Koehler, reputed to be the \"wealthiest officer\" in the Navy. The third generation of a wealthy St. Louis brewery family, Koehler had been a naval intelligence and U.S. State Department spy in South Russia during the Russian Revolution. Swenson had introduced Milo Abercrombie to Koehler in Honolulu. Koehler was in Panama with his ship, USS West Virginia (BB-48) when he read a newspaper account that he was engaged to marry Milo Abercrombie. Brushing it off, Koehler curtly told the press, \"Some error,\" while Abercrombie did not take it so lightly. \"I have been deeply humiliated\", she told reporters, her eyes \"wet with tears\". \"This is a most unkind blow of fate. I cannot possibly understand how this false rumor got about.\" Two years later, Koehler married Matilda Pell, the ex-wife of U.S. Congressman Herbert Pell (D-NY) and mother of future United States Senator Claiborne Pell (D-RI). In a bitter child visitation court battle in 1927 that went all the way to the California Court of Appeals, Abercrombie lost custody of her children with Swenson to him, after making baseless accusations that he had molested their four-year old daughter, Cecelia. The appellate court excoriated Abercrombie, \"[I]in furtherance of a manifest determination to prevent him from ever seeing the children again, under any circumstances, she was instrumental in inspiring and promoting a scheme directly involving one of the children which had for its obvious purpose the ruination of respondent's character as a man, the bringing about of his complete disgrace as a naval officer, and the destruction of the love and affection which his children had theretofore manifested toward him.\" Swenson v. Swenson\" (1929) 101 Cal.App. 440. In 1929, Lyman Swenson married Loretta B. Bruner (1897-1979). His son, Lyman K.

Examples of illustrated hand scrolls include novels such as Genji Monogatari Emaki, historical writings like The Tale of Great Minister Ban, or religious works such as the Scroll of Hungry Ghosts. These genres continued to be produced into the Kamakura period from 1185 to 1333.

He later encounters Axel, a member of Organization XIII who is under orders to extract him, and Namin\u00e9, a Nobody who tells him he is Sora's other half. Shortly after meeting DiZ, the creator of the virtual world, Roxas learns the true nature of Twilight Town, and that DiZ altered his memory and personality to mislead his pursuers from the Organization until he can merge with Sora.

In 1183, for instance, Ingvar refused to accommodate Vladimir II Yaroslavich in Dorogobuzh, who had been banished from Halych. It appears that Ingvar was wary of Yaroslav Osmomysl, Vladimir Yaroslavich's father. Soon after this, Ingvar took the place of his older brother Vsevolod Yaroslavich as the ruler of Lutsk. In 1202, Ingvar was appointed ruler of Kiev instead of the ousted Ryurik Rostislavich in accordance with a deal between Roman Mstislavich of Halych and Vsevolod the Big Nest, Grand Prince of Vladimir. Ryurik, however, would regain Kiev that same year with the help of the Olgovichs and polovtsy. In 1204, Ingvar took part in capturing the city of Volodymyr-Volyns'kyi together with Alexander of Belz. He was appointed ruler of the city on the spot, but was soon replaced by Alexander due to boyars' discontent. In 1208\u20131211, Ingvar sent his son to assist Daniil Romanovich in his struggle against the sons of Igor Sviatoslavich of Novhorod-Siverskyi. In 1212, Ingvar and Mstislav Romanovich attacked Vsevolod Sviatoslavich and captured Kiev.

They drew from various influences, particularly Yellow Magic Orchestra (active since the late 1970s), an electronic music group frequently cited as a pioneer of ambient house music, in addition to influences from Steve Reich, Brian Eno, reggae music, and 1970s psychedelic rock, including Pink Floyd. Inspired by the house music played by DJs such as Larry \"Mr. Fingers\" Heard, Paterson and Cauty began DJ-ing and composing experimental music. The Orb established the genre in 1989 as DJs during night-club events called The Land of Oz, based at the night-club Heaven. After a recording session with John Peel later that year, The Orb released the twenty-minute \"A Huge Ever Growing Pulsating Brain That Rules from the Centre of the Ultraworld\", which featured \"bright, translucent sounds\" and \"tinkl[ing]\" keyboards, as well as heavily sampling Minnie Riperton's \"Lovin' You\". Out of Paterson and Cauty's sessions at Trancentral studio, came Cauty and Bill Drummond's KLF album Chill Out (which featured no credit to Paterson). As one of the first ambient house albums, The Grove Dictionary of Music describes it as \"a 1980s pop culture version of musique concr\u00e8te\". After splitting from The Orb, Cauty finished work on his own album Space, and Paterson's Orb went on to create the single \"Little Fluffy Clouds\" \u2013 both important works of ambient house. In 1991, The Orb released the album The Orb's Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld, featuring both of their previous singles.

Many were propaganda films about Japan's war in China, such as Shanghai and Peking, but his Fighting Soldiers (Tatakau heitai) was criticized by authorities as a potentially anti-war film, one police official in fact protesting that \"These aren't fighting soldiers, they're tired soldiers!\" The release of the film was blocked, but Fighting Soldiers was later celebrated as one of the masterpieces of Japanese documentary. After making a film about the poet Kobayashi Issa, Kamei was the only Japanese film director arrested for violation of the Peace Preservation Law and became the first filmmaker to lose his license to direct under the 1939 Film Law. After World War II, he resumed filmmaking with The Japanese Tragedy (Nihon no higeki), a film produced at Nichiei by Akira Iwasaki, which charged Japanese leaders with responsibility for pursuing a disastrous war.

Queensland botanists Trevor Donald Stanley and Estelle M. Ross classed P.terminalis as part of Persoonia oxycoccoides in their 1983 work Flora of South-eastern Queensland. They considered it more likely a species in its own right, as they believed the description of the Queensland populations did not match the P. oxycoccoides from central New South Wales. Upon re-examining Persoonia nutans and Persoonia oxycoccoides, Johnson and Peter Weston concluded that there were in fact several distinct species, and that Persoonia terminalis was described as such in 1991. The type specimen was collected south of the Torrington pub on the Emmaville\u2013Torrington road by Weston and ecologist Peter Richards, and is now housed in the National Herbarium of New South Wales, which is part of the Royal Botanic Gardens and Domain Trust Sydney and Office of Environment and Heritage.

After skipping the 1972 competition, Romania returned for the 1976 tournament. This time Romania played Poland in the Qualification round and lost 7\u20134, keeping them in the B division once again. However, Romania battled back and won 4 of 5 games with only one loss against Yugoslavia, still winning the division. The team finished 7th out of 12. In 1980, Romania was able to play with the top teams and was put into the Blue Division group, along with tough opponents such as Sweden, Czechoslovakia, and USA. In the first game Romania was down 4\u20132 to West Germany, but managed to score 4 goals to beat the former bronze medallists 6\u20134. In their next game Romania got shut out by Sweden 8\u20130. The Swedes scored 3 goals in the first period which left Romania out of it. After a lopsided loss to Czechoslovakia (7\u20132) the team then took on USA. The US jumped out to a 2\u20130 lead in the first period and added two more to it to lead 4\u20131 after two periods. Unlike other teams that the US had faced, the Romanians fought strong in the third period, despite being outshot 15\u20133, and scored a goal. The final score was 7\u20132. Romania played Norway for their final game, who had lost all four of their past games and had no chance to advance to the Medal Round. Romania fell behind less than a minute into the game, but stormed back to take the lead 3\u20131 in the third period. The Norwegian team battled back though, and scored once with a minute and a half left to play, and scored once more to tie it with only 29 seconds left. This tie still gave Romania one point but they had been hoping for a win. They finished the tournament with a 1\u20133\u20131 record, and were ranked 8th out of 12, just beating the Netherlands, West Germany, Norway, and Japan.

Foreign trade was maintained only with the Dutch and the Chinese and was conducted exclusively at Nagasaki. However, by the early nineteenth century, this policy of isolation was increasingly under challenge. Following the Perry Expedition and with the increased threat to Japanese sovereignty posed by the European powers and their Black ships, the Japanese government turned towards the Dutch for technical and military assistance. The Nagasaki Naval Training Center was opened in 1855 with Dutch military advisors to teach the Japanese about steam warship technology. On arrival, he found that his predecessor Jan Karel van den Broek had been devoting much of his energies into production of a Japanese-Dutch/Dutch-Japanese dictionary, and acting as technical advisor on a wide range of engineering and technical questions, rather than concentrating on medicine or medical education. However, this provided Pompe van Meerdervoort with a foundation on which he was able to establish a school of western medicine on 12 November 1857. Initially, he had only twelve students and used the residence of Takashima Sh\u016bhan to lecture on biology, chemistry, human anatomy, physiology, and pathology. He performed the first recorded human autopsy in Japan, and his student base quickly expanded to over 133 students, including Kusumoto Ine, the daughter of Philipp Franz von Siebold.

It survives as part of a composite manuscript volume held at the British Library with the mark Cotton Claudius A.v, in which it appears on folios 2\u201345. An edition of the Chronicon was published in 1723 by Joseph Sparke, in a collection of English histories by various writers. According to John Allen Giles, in the preface to his own edition published by the Caxton Society in 1845, the Chronicon was attributed by both Simon Patrick and Henry Wharton to John of Caleto (or \"Caux\"), who was an abbot of Peterborough (1250\u20131262). Giles reported a marginal note in the manuscript making a similar attribution, besides a similar note at the beginning of the manuscript stating that it belonged to Peterborough Abbey. However, Giles observed that this manuscript attribution was \"comparatively modern\", and regarded the chronicle's author as unknown.

In 1917 he earned his M.A. in social science and history at Harvard University. __During World War I, he served with the Tenth Infantry of the Forty-Sixth Division and also served as an army sergeant in Intelligence. Davidson and his wife Mary, also a graduate of Eureka, were married in 1918. At the end of the war, Davidson simultaneously taught and studied at the University of Michigan where he earned a Ph.D. in languages and literatures in 1922. He arrived in Denver later that year and began teaching at the University of Denver. Before arriving in Colorado, his academic specialty was eighteenth century England. Once in Denver, he realized that Western literature and folklore would be his life work. Davidson taught at the University of Denver until his death in 1957. His course topics ranged from studies of Shakespeare and other English literature, to folklore in the West. He began teaching news writing and eventually founded the journalism department at the University as well as the board of publications and the press club. He was the first faculty member elected to serve as president of the University Senate. In 1940 he became head of the English Department and from March to August 1953 he served as interim Chancellor. At the time of assuming his post, he remarked: There is hardly an organization on campus that I have not been connected with at one time or another. Davidson was named University Lecturer for 1956. Davidson was a director of the Colorado State Historical Society, the Modern Languages Association, the American Folklore Society, and the American Dialect Society. He was a charter member of the Denver Posse of the Westerners, an organization devoted to western folklore. In spare moments, Davidson conducted research, wrote outlines for plays, and authored a large number of articles. He contributed to a wide range of magazines from Western American to Shakespeare Quarterly. Additionally, Davidson authored several books on folklore. The most widely recognized is Rocky Mountain Tales, which presents regional folklore as well as true accounts of early events in the area. Levette Davidson died May 14, 1957.\n", "title": "Levette J.

Later, under the English, it became the beginning point for contentious land claims in the mountains. After independence, the Esopus corridor became the main route into the Catskills, first by road then later by the Ulster and Delaware Railroad, for forest-product industries like logging, tanning and charcoal-making. Those industries declined in the late 19th century, shortly before the creation of the Forest Preserve and the Catskill Park made the region more attractive for resorts and recreation, particularly trout fishing.

In that game, Stoops gained a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for his behavior on the sideline, which led to a New Mexico touchdown. Following a 2007, 21\u201320 home loss to Stanford, dropping the team to 2\u20136, local media began speculating as to whether Stoops would be fired. However, subsequent statements by the athletic director and the university's president indicated that Stoops would return for an additional season. At the beginning of the season, many believed this to be the year Stoops and the Wildcats would reach their first college bowl game in a decade; a winning season was considered a must in order for Stoops to remain as Wildcats head coach. Under the direction of Stoops, Arizona scored 70 points in the season opener against the Idaho Vandals, falling just four points short of a school record for points scored in a game. They went on to soundly defeat Toledo, UCLA, Washington, and California, but lost close games to New Mexico and Stanford. They went on to defeat Washington State on the road to secure bowl eligibility at six wins, but lost to Oregon on the road after mounting a dramatic second-half come-from-behind rally, and to Oregon State in Tucson on a last-second field goal. The Wildcats' final game of the regular season was a 31\u201310 victory on December 6 in Tucson against Arizona State in the annual Territorial Cup rivalry game. With that win and a final regular season record of 7\u20135, Arizona accepted a bid from to the Las Vegas Bowl to face BYU. It was the Wildcats' first bowl appearance since the 1998 Holiday Bowl. Stoops' reputation in Tucson was mixed; while the Wildcats had a winning record and appeared in and won their first bowl game in ten years, many fans were divided during the season on whether he should be retained as head coach, as they expected Stoops to guide the team to an eight, nine or even ten-win season given the talent level and the offensive and defensive systems employed by the Wildcats (and with the overall talent level in the Pac-10 conference perceived to be not as strong as usual in 2008). While Stoops brought the Wildcat football program to a level of respectability which was lost during the era of John Mackovic, some fans were disappointed the program was not at the elite level of Stoops' former program Oklahoma or of perennial Pac-10 football power USC. However, Stoops was given strong votes of confidence by UA (later UNLV) athletic director Jim Livengood, by university president Dr. Robert Shelton, and by several prominent Arizona football boosters.\n", "title": "Mike Stoops", "pid": "p_2242" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "On 4 May 1918, in the aftermath of the Finnish Civil War, Silatch arrived secretly in Kotka, Finland", "indices": [ 0, 100 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Finnish Civil War", "Kotka" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "How long after the beginning of the war did Silatch secretly arrive in Kotka?", "qid": "q_5309" }, { "context": [ { "text": "In December 1919 she was sent to Koivisto to assist three Finnish torpedo boats, C1, C2 and C3 that had been surrounded by ice some thick.", "indices": [ 294, 432 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Despite the efforts of Ilmarinen, the weak-hulled torpedo boats were crushed by the ice, and the newly founded Finnish Navy lost one fifth of its ships.", "indices": [ 651, 803 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": " Thus, the Finnish Navy of the late 1910s and early 1920s consisted of some gunboats (Klas Horn, Matti Kurki, Turunmaa, and Karjala), six S-class torpedo boats, eight C-class torpedo boats, one minelayer (Louhi), several minesweepers, and five T-class minelaying boats.", "indices": [ 3597, 3866 ], "passage": "Finnish Navy" } ], "question_links": [ "Finnish Navy" ], "answer": { "answer_value": "1", "answer_unit": "year old", "type": "value" }, "question": "How old was the Finnish Navy when it lost one fifth of its ships?", "qid": "q_5310" }, { "context": [ { "text": "After the winter of 1919 Ilmarinen was laid up until she was returned to the Soviet Union according to the Treaty of Tartu.", "indices": [ 804, 927 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "The treaty confirmed that the Finnish-Soviet border would follow the old border between the autonomous Grand Duchy of Finland and Imperial Russia.

The acting bug bit hard when he first appeared as a teenager in Hungarian and Serbian amateur theatricals in his hometown of Senta. He started his schooling in Senta, Novi Sad, Szeged, Temisvar, and Pest, where he was a Tekelijanum scholar (having received a stipend from the Sava Tekelija Endowment). Throughout high school (gymnasium) and university he pursued his chosen career as a professional actor and manager, appearing in hundreds of plays he himself organized in which he received a reputation of high versatility and originality. The 1848 Revolution interrupted his university education and he left Pest for Sombor where Grand Zupan Isidor Nikoli\u0107 Dzaver (1806\u20131862) of Ba\u010dka first appointed him secretary of the town's municipal court house, and then a position of judicial clerk at Lugos. In 1852 he was appointed professor of a high school in Novi Sad. There \u0110or\u0111evi\u0107 came to loggerheads with the school's administrators, who were against Vuk Karad\u017ei\u0107's language reforms, and left his teaching post to become secretary of the Matica Srpska and editor of the learned society's magazine Letopis Matice Srpske in 1857.

However, English rule did not extend over the whole island until the 16th\u201317th century Tudor conquest, which led to colonisation by settlers from Britain. In the 1690s, a system of Protestant English rule was designed to materially disadvantage the Catholic majority and Protestant dissenters, and was extended during the 18th century. With the Acts of Union in 1801, Ireland became a part of the United Kingdom. A war of independence in the early 20th century was followed by the partition of the island, creating the Irish Free State, which became increasingly sovereign over the following decades, and Northern Ireland, which remained a part of the United Kingdom. Northern Ireland saw much civil unrest from the late 1960s until the 1990s. This subsided following a political agreement in 1998.

The two K-ships then flew for approximately 22 hours to Lages Field on Terceira Island in the Azores, the second stopover base for the transatlantic flights. The last leg was a ~20-hour flight to the squadron's final destination with Fleet Air Wing (FAW) 15 at Port Lyautey, French Morocco (now Kenitra, Morocco). Blimps K-123 and K-130 were followed by K-109 and K-134 then K-112 and K-101 which left South Weymouth on 11 and 27 June, respectively, in 1944. These six blimps initially conducted nighttime anti-submarine warfare operations to complement the daytime missions flown by FAW-15 aircraft (PBYs and PB4Y-2) using magnetic anomaly detection to locate U-boats in the relatively shallow waters around the Strait of Gibraltar. Later, ZP-14 K-ships conducted minespotting and minesweeping operations in key Mediterranean ports and various escort missions including that of the convoy carrying Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill to the Yalta Conference in early 1945. In late April 1945, K-89 and K-114 left NAS Weeksville (now Coast Guard Air Station Elizabeth City) in North Carolina and flew a southern route to NAS Bermuda, the Azores, and Port Lyautey, where they arrived on 1 May 1945.\n", "title": "Naval Station Argentia", "pid": "p_2266" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "the Scottish Football Association delayed processing his registration in time for the Scottish Cup", "indices": [ 373, 471 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": " It was formed in 1873, making it the second oldest national football association in the world.

Sorensen's help with explaining Ted Kennedy's Chappaquiddick incident was cited as a factor of Senate opposition to his nomination as CIA director. Sorensen in his autobiography attributed the loss of Senate approval for his nomination for CIA director to his conscientious objector status as a youth, his two failed marriages, and his writing an affidavit in defense of releasing the Pentagon Papers.\n\nSorensen was the national co-chairman for Gary Hart for the presidential election of 1984 and made several appearances on his behalf.\n\nIn addition to his successful career as a lawyer, Sorensen was also a frequent spokesman for liberal ideals and ideas, writing opinion-editorials and delivering speeches concerning domestic and international subjects. For several years during the 1960s, he was an editor of the Saturday Review.\n\nHe was affiliated with a number of institutions, including the Council On Foreign Relations, The Century Foundation, Princeton University, and the Institute of Politics at Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government. Sorensen was a board member of the International Center for Transitional Justice and an advisory board member of the Partnership for a Secure America, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to recreating bipartisan consensus for American national security and foreign policy. He also was chairman of the advisory board to the International Center for Ethics, Justice and Public Life at Brandeis University. Sorensen also attended meetings of the Judson Welliver Society, a bipartisan social club composed of former presidential speechwriters.\n\nDuring 2007, a model Democratic presidential nomination acceptance speech written by Sorensen was published in the Washington Monthly. The magazine had solicited him to write the speech that he would most want the 2008 Democratic nominee to give at the 2008 Democratic National Convention, without regard to the identity of the nominee.\n\nOn March 9, 2007, he spoke at an event with then-senator Barack Obama at New York City's Grand Hyatt Hotel and officially endorsed him for the presidential election in 2008. Very active in his campaign, Sorensen spoke early on and frequently about the similarities between Senator Barack Obama's and Senator John F. Kennedy's presidential campaigns. He also provided some assistance with President Obama's 2009 Inaugural Address.\n\nSorensen served on the advisory board of the National Security Network.\n\nIn his book Let The Word Go Forth, Sorensen's selects from more than 110 speeches and writings that indicate the importance of historical insights in Kennedy's thoughts and actions.\n\n", "indices": [ 4744, 7499 ], "passage": "Ted Sorensen" } ], "question_links": [ "Ted Sorensen" ], "answer": { "answer_value": "no", "type": "binary" }, "question": "Did Theodore Sorenson serve in any positions after the one he was nominated for by Jimmy Carter?", "qid": "q_5366" }, { "context": [ { "text": "Though Thurmond backed Reagan's candidac", "indices": [ 164, 204 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Thurmond appeared in a campaign commercial for incumbent U.S. President", "indices": [ 345, 416 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Ronald Wilson Reagan (; February 6, 1911June 5, 2004) was an American politician who served as the 40th president of the United States from 1981 to 1989 ", "indices": [ 0, 153 ], "passage": "Ronald Reagan" }, { "text": "Gerald Rudolph Ford Jr. (born Leslie Lynch King Jr.; July 14, 1913 \u2013 December 26, 2006) was an American politician who served as the 38th president of the United States from August 1974 to January 1977.

This pathway divides into two branches: one that ascends to the thalamus and activates the thalamus relay neurons, and another one that activates neurons in the lateral part of the hypothalamus and the basal forebrain, and throughout the cerebral cortex. The cell group involved in the first pathway is an acetylcholine-producing cell group called pedunculopontine and laterodorsal tegmental nucleus(PPT/LDT). These neurons play a crucial role in bridging information in between the thalamus and the cerebral cortex. These neurons have high activation during wakefulness and during REM sleep and a low activation during NREM sleep. The second branch originates from monoaminorgenic neurons. These neurons are located in the locus coeruleus, dorsal and median raphe nuclei, ventral periaqueductal grey matter, and tuberomammillary nucleus. Each group produces a different neurotransmitter. The neurons in the locus coeruleus produce noradrenaline, as fore the neurons in the dorsal and median raphe nuclei, ventral periaqueductal grey matter, and tuberomammillary nucleus produce serotonin, dopamine and histamine respectively. They then project onto the hypothalamic peptidergic neurons, which contain melanin-concentrated hormones or orexin, and basal forebrain neurons which contain GABA and acetylcholine. These neurons then project onto the cerebral cortex.

Harrison scored his fourth goal in as many games in another 2\u20132 draw, scoring the first goal of the game against Accrington Stanley with a looping shot from outside the area. He scored his fifth goal for the club in Stevenage's 1\u20130 away win at Crewe Alexandra. The goal had initially been credited to Stevenage left back Scott Laird, but it was later announced that the ball had gone in off of Harrison's back. Harrison made it seven goals in eleven games after scoring two goals against Cheltenham Town on 26 February 2011. His eighth goal of the season came in the club's 2\u20132 home draw against Aldershot Town, with Harrison prodding Luke Foster's shot into the goal to earn Stevenage a point. Similarly to Harrison's goal against Crewe, the goal was originally given to another Stevenage player, this time Foster being credited with the goal, but the goal was officially given to Harrison a week later. Harrison finished the season as joint top goalscorer for Stevenage with eight goals in 23 appearances. This included three substitute appearances in the 2010\u201311 League Two play-offs following Stevenage's sixth-placed finish. After a 3\u20130 aggregate victory over Accrington Stanley, Stevenage earned promotion to League One courtesy of a 1\u20130 win against Torquay United at Old Trafford in the Final on 28 May 2011, with Harrison coming on as 62nd-minute substitute.\n", "title": "Byron Harrison (footballer)", "pid": "p_2308" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "In the same year she starred with Terry-Thomas and Peter Sellers in the comedy film The Naked Truth.", "indices": [ 417, 517 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Terry-Thomas (born Thomas Terry Hoar-Stevens; 14 July 19118 January 1990) ", "indices": [ 0, 74 ], "passage": "Terry-Thomas" }, { "text": "Peter Sellers, CBE (born Richard Henry Sellers; 8 September 1925 \u2013 24 July 1980) ", "indices": [ 0, 81 ], "passage": "Peter Sellers" } ], "question_links": [ "Terry-Thomas", "Peter Sellers" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 451, "text": "Terry-Thomas", "passage": "Peggy Mount", "end": 463 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "Which co-star of Peggy Mount on the Naked Truth is the oldest?", "qid": "q_5440" }, { "context": [ { "text": "Her last stage role of the 1950s was Florence Povis in Farewell, Farewell, Eugene at the Garrick Theatre in June 1959", "indices": [ 1164, 1281 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Garrick Theatre" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "What is the capacity of the venue where Peggy Mount had her last stage role in the 1950s?", "qid": "q_5441" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 83, 90 ], "target": "Dry Rot (film)" }, { "indices": [ 111, 126 ], "target": "Whitehall farce" }, { "indices": [ 173, 187 ], "target": "Sailor Beware!

Peter managed to muster 27 regiments formed into three divisions (9 regiments each). Generals Adam Veyde, Avtonom Golovin and Anikita Repnin were appointed commanders of these divisions. Soldiers had to learn how to use weapons and master military formations in accordance with Veyde's Military Charter (1698). Foreign officers were in charge of this training, which caused Golovin's anger. He used to say that they couldn't hold a musket in their hands, didn't know their business, had to be taught themselves, and that it was all a waste of time. Soon, Peter the Great had to decline their services and put inexperienced Muscovite sluzhiliye lyudi in charge of the training. In 1700, Golovin formed 8 infantry regiments and one dragoon regiment (one division). During the Battle of Narva, the Russian army was defeated by Charles XII. Golovin's division (which consisted of recruits only) was one of the first ones to flee the battlefield. Field Marshal Charles Eug\u00e8ne de Cro\u00ff and all of the foreign officers in the Russian army surrendered to the Swedes. They were soon followed by Generals Yakov Dolgoruky, tsarevich Alexander Imeretinsky, Avtonom Golovin and Ivan Buturlin, who had decided to capitulate, as well. As a result, almost all of the commanding officers were taken prisoners and the Swedes captured all of the Russian artillery, which Peter the Great had been assembling piece by piece from all over Russia.

He was active in Medan from 1927 to 1942 to work for the Oostkust. Like Schoemaker for the city of Bandung, Gronewegen can be considered as representative of modernist Nieuwe Bouwen in Medan. Among Groenewegen's extensive portfolio in Medan are the expansion of Medan Cathedral (1928), Arnhem Insurance (now Museum Perjuangan TNI, 1930), the Roman Catholic Chinese church in Polonia (1934), Princess Beatrix School (now Immanuel Christian School, 1938), Medan swimming pool (1939), and Oranjeschool (1941).

According to notes made by More (Folger Library MS L.b.425), and other documents, More leased part of the property on 10 June 1560 to Sir Henry Neville and then, at Neville's request, to Richard Farrant, who converted the premises into a playhouse for the Children of the Chapel. Farrant also sublet part of the premises, for which infraction More claimed Farrant had forfeited his lease, but before More could regain possession, Farrant died on 30 November 1580, leaving the lease in his will to his widow, Anne, the daughter of Richard Bower (d.1561), Master of the Choristers of the Chapel Royal. On 20 December 1581, after Farrant's death and after Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester, had intervened on behalf of William Hunnis, Master of the Children of the Chapel, Farrant's widow, Anne, sublet the premises in the Blackfriars to Hunnis and John Newman. Hunnis and Newman later transferred their interest to a Welsh scrivener, Henry Evans. More than brought suit in June 1583 against Evans, and in Michaelmas term 1583, after first appealing to Sir Francis Walsingham, Anne Farrant brought suit against both Hunnis and Newman. In November 1583 Hunnis petitioned the Queen, and in January 1584 both Hunnis and Newman sued Anne Farrant. In the midst of this legal confusion, as Wallace puts it, 'the Earl of Oxford stepped in', and Evans sold his sublease to Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford, who retained it for some months before granting it in June 1583 to his servant, John Lyly. Finally, after a delay of a year, the court gave judgment in More's favour in his lawsuit against Evans.

Later he was arrested along with several others including Robert Bowie, former 11th Governor of Maryland (1803\u201306, 1811\u201312) by retreating British cavalry on orders from Ross who had stayed in his home as headquarters. Later Francis Scott Key (1779\u20131843), a Georgetown and Frederick lawyer with Col. John S. Skinner, U.S. Prisoner-of-War and Parole Agent went to Baltimore secured a small sailing ship, the Minden, and sailed down the Patapsco River and the Chesapeake Bay to find the British Royal Navy fleet after leaving the Patuxent River, beating up the Bay from their base on Tangier Island, Virginia heading for their attack on the hated \"nest of pirates\" - Baltimore. After being received and negotiating with General Ross, Admiral Cockburn and their superior, Admiral Sir Alexander Cochrane, (1758\u20131832), and showing him some letters written by captured British wounded soldiers testifying to the fair treatment Beanes had given them and tended to them, they agreed to free him but that would be held up until they could celebrate after the Burning of Baltimore following their attack on Fort McHenry and landing troops to the east at North Point. Well, the famous story has been told, how the general was killed prior to the skirmishing at the Battle of North Point on September 12, how the advancing British under successor, Colonel Arthur Brooke led the British regiments to face the 20,000 drafted and volunteer citizens and militia under the command of Major General Samuel Smith, (1752\u20131839), of the Maryland Militia on the eastern heights of \"Loudenschlager's Hill\" (later known as \"Hampstead Hill\" in modern Patterson Park, between Highlandtown and Canton neighborhoods) whose dug-in fortifications and dragged cannon were so numerous that the \"Redcoats\" halted in their tracks and decided to await the shelling of the fort which guarded the entrances to the Harbor to pass into the inner port and the waterfront of Fells Point. Following the failure of the fort to fall to two days of \"the rockets' red glare and the bombs bursting in air\" and their flanking troop-loaded barge attack around the west end but driven back by alert artillery seamen at Forts Covington and Babcock in a driving night rainstorm, the British fleet turned about and set sail. Key and his companions Beanes and Skinner who were startled, amazed and emotionally overcome to see a huge 30 by 42 foot banner being raised in the light of the early morning with the distant booming of the morning's gun salute, knew that the fort and the city had held. When they landed at \"The Basin\" (modern \"Inner Harbor\") and Key finished up his draft of a new poem \"The Defence of Fort McHenry\" at the Indian Queen Hotel at West Baltimore and Hanover Streets, (later to be set to music in a few days) and sung lustily through the city, performed on the stage at the famed Holliday Street Theatre, and then soon throughout the state and soon the nation as \"The Star Spangled Banner\".\n", "title": "Prince George's County Sheriff's Office", "pid": "p_2328" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "Born in Exeter, England, and grew up in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada.", "indices": [ 0, 65 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Exeter () is a cathedral city in Devon, England, with a population of 130,428 (mid-2018 est.", "indices": [ 0, 92 ], "passage": "Exeter" }, { "text": "in Ontario, Canada.

He then studied under Harvey A. Carr at the University of Chicago. He studied a variety of topics while at the University of Chicago, including suggestibility and intelligence in delinquents, time perception, neuropsychological and vocational testing, and the reliability and validity of the Pressey X-O test. His doctoral dissertation was titled \"A study in the psychology of testimony.\" Following the completion of his dissertation, McGeoch\u2019s work primarily focused on human learning and memory. Harvey Carr significantly influenced McGeoch\u2019s work, and provided feedback on the McGeoch's introductory textbook on human learning, The Psychology of Human Learning, which was published after Carr\u2019s death in 1943. McGeoch completed his PhD while he was a faculty member at the University of Washington. He accepted a full Professor position 2 years later at the University of Arkansas. In 1930 he moved to the University of Missouri where he became the chair of the department of psychology. He held this position for 5 years before moving to Wesleyan University, where he was also chair of the department from 1935\u20131939 and was awarded an honorary degree in recognition of his accomplishments as a lecturer and administrator. In 1939, McGeoch moved to the University of Iowa, where he also chaired the department. He died in Iowa City on March 3, 1942 from a cerebral hemorrhage.\n", "title": "John Alexander McGeoch", "pid": "p_2338" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "Oliver Turvey was set to be replaced by the Formula Renault 3.5 driver Ben Hanley because of a Super GT commitment at the Autopolis circuit,", "indices": [ 641, 781 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "race was postponed because of the Kumamoto earthquakes,", "indices": [ 791, 846 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "The are a series of earthquakes, including a magnitude 7.0 mainshock which struck at 01:25\u00a0JST on April\u00a016, 2016 (16:25\u00a0UTC on April 15) beneath Kumamoto City of Kumamoto Prefecture in Kyushu Region, Japan", "indices": [ 0, 205 ], "passage": "2016 Kumamoto earthquakes" } ], "question_links": [ "2016 Kumamoto earthquakes" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 239, "text": "Japan", "passage": "2016 kumamoto earthquakes", "end": 244 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "In what country were the earthquakes that caused the postponement of the race in which Oliver Turvey had a Super GT commitment?", "qid": "q_5515" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 77, 82 ], "target": "Team Aguri" }, { "indices": [ 127, 134 ], "target": "2015 Beijing ePrix" }, { "indices": [ 136, 158 ], "target": "Ant\u00f3nio F\u00e9lix da Costa" }, { "indices": [ 189, 217 ], "target": "Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters" }, { "indices": [ 236, 249 ], "target": "Red Bull Ring" }, { "indices": [ 294, 303 ], "target": "Ren\u00e9 Rast" }, { "indices": [ 424, 436 ], "target": "Adam Carroll" }, { "indices": [ 541, 557 ], "target": "2004 Formula BMW ADAC season" }, { "indices": [ 641, 654 ], "target": "Oliver Turvey" }, { "indices": [ 685, 704 ], "target": "Renault Sport Series" }, { "indices": [ 712, 722 ], "target": "Ben Hanley" }, { "indices": [ 736, 744 ], "target": "2016 Super GT Series" }, { "indices": [ 763, 772 ], "target": "Autopolis" }, { "indices": [ 825, 845 ], "target": "2016 Kumamoto earthquakes" } ], "text": "There was one driver change heading into the race.

A very large speakers' dais was erected near the Sheridan Gate and McClellan Gate on the cemetery's east side, and used for speeches throughout the day. For the more important speakers, a second dais seating 200 was erected at the rear of Arlington House (although not with \"the Grove\"). A stand, permitting the seating of 500, was built nearby for a grand chorus (which sang for the crowd). Again, the Civil War Unknowns Monument was canopied and decorated.

The Ketchikan Borough Assembly turned the proposal down when the administration of Governor Tony Knowles also expressed its disfavor to the idea. Eventually, the corporation's prison plans led to the exposure of the wide-ranging Alaska political corruption probe, which eventually ensnared U.S. Senator Ted Stevens. The bridge idea persisted. The 2005 Highway Bill provided for $223m to build the Gravina Island Bridge between Gravina Island and nearby Ketchikan, on Revillagigedo Island. The provisions and earmarks were negotiated by Alaska's Rep. Don Young, who chaired the House Transportation Committee and were supported by the Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, Alaska's Senator Stevens. This bridge, nicknamed \"The Bridge to Nowhere\" by critics, was intended to replace the auto ferry which is currently the only connection between Ketchikan and its airport. While the federal earmark was withdrawn after meeting opposition from Oklahoma Senator Tom Coburn, though the state of Alaska received $300 million in transportation funding, the state of Alaska continued to study improvements in access to the airport, which could conceivably include improvements to the ferry service.

In his four-year-old season Frankel won the Group One Lockinge Stakes at Newbury before an eleven length victory in the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot, described in one national newspaper as \"possibly the best single performance by any horse, on any track, since three Arabian stallions were imported into Britain to found the thoroughbred breed in the early years of the 18th century\". Timeform raised their rating to 147, making Frankel the highest rated horse in their history. He won a second Sussex Stakes, at odds of 1\u201320, and then stepped up in distance to win by seven lengths the Juddmonte International Stakes at York over 10 furlongs. In October 2012 Frankel won the Champion Stakes at Ascot to finish his career unbeaten. \"He's the best I've ever had, the best I've ever seen\", Cecil told the BBC after the race, \"I'd be very surprised if there's ever been a better.\"\n", "title": "Henry Cecil", "pid": "p_2375" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "In 1975 Williams was named to the Board of Trustees for the University of Washington", "indices": [ 556, 640 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "University of Washington" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "How many people were in attendance at the University of Washington the year that Williams was named to the Board of Trustees?", "qid": "q_5600" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 21, 34 ], "target": "New York City" }, { "indices": [ 60, 81 ], "target": "Ethel Roosevelt Derby" }, { "indices": [ 173, 182 ], "target": "President of the United States" }, { "indices": [ 183, 201 ], "target": "Theodore Roosevelt" }, { "indices": [ 257, 272 ], "target": "Edith Roosevelt" }, { "indices": [ 303, 313 ], "target": "Republican Party (United States)" }, { "indices": [ 341, 376 ], "target": "1960 Republican National Convention" }, { "indices": [ 406, 419 ], "target": "Richard Nixon" }, { "indices": [ 544, 554 ], "target": "Washington (state)" }, { "indices": [ 616, 640 ], "target": "University of Washington" }, { "indices": [ 698, 715 ], "target": "Board of directors" }, { "indices": [ 724, 754 ], "target": "Theodore Roosevelt Association" }, { "indices": [ 981, 990 ], "target": "Pollution" } ], "text": "Williams was born in New York City to Dr. Richard Derby and Ethel Carow Roosevelt.

With his wife and young daughter, he opened a bed and breakfast business. Only four years later, Fraser became the mayor of Tofino. He was mayor from November 1996 to November 1999, a time when tourism was over-taking logging and fishing as the town's dominant industry. Fraser was supportive of the application to the United Nations to designate Clayoquot Sound as a biosphere site; Clayoquot Sound was listed as a Biosphere Reserve in 2000. Fraser was the subject of a complaint filed at the British Columbia Ombudsman by one of his councillors, Ken Gibson. The mayor and council issued a resolution stating that Gibson had violated conflict-of-interest laws, using his position on council to influence zoning restrictions on his property. Gibson challenged the resolution at the BC Supreme Court which ruled in Gibson's favour, ordering that Gibson be re-instated as a councillor. The mayor and council voted in favour of appealing the decision but the Court of Appeal upheld the decision. Fraser was defeated in his attempt at re-election as mayor. In 2000, the former mayor was appointed to Tourism BC's board of directors and to the Clayoquot Sound Central Region Board which considered pre-treaty land use-related decisions.

Major social issues such as incest, alcoholism, and post-traumatic stress syndrome of Vietnam veterans were covered. But Marland and Nixon left the series after a few years and in spite of ABC's bumping down Ryan's Hope to give Loving a choice timeslot, and cast additions of such popular All My Children stars as Debbi Morgan and Jean LeClerc, the ratings remained low throughout the show's run. Loving suffered from a constant revolving door of writers and producers, leading to questionable story moments such as a heroine's addiction to cough syrup and one character's selling his soul to the Devil. Circumstances became so desperate in the early 1990s that, to keep the show afloat, ABC assigned its own programming suits, network executive Haidee Granger and later, Vice President of Daytime Programming JoAnn Emmerich, to serve as executive producers. Despite its frequently subpar ratings, on June 26, 1993, Loving celebrated its 10th Anniversary on ABC.\n", "title": "Loving (TV series)", "pid": "p_2382" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "Before this year, the tournament was won by a home favorite on several occasions: Guy Forget in 1996, Fabrice Santoro in 1999, Arnaud Cl\u00e9ment in 2006, and Gilles Simon in 2007.", "indices": [ 0, 176 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "the tournament was won by a home favorite on several occasions: Guy Forget in 1996, Fabrice Santoro in 1999, Arnaud Cl\u00e9ment in 2006, and Gilles Simon in 2007.", "indices": [ 18, 176 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Guy Forget (; born 4 January 1965", "indices": [ 0, 33 ], "passage": "Guy Forget" }, { "text": "Fabrice Vetea Santoro (born 9 December 1972", "indices": [ 0, 43 ], "passage": "Fabrice Santoro" }, { "text": "Arnaud Cl\u00e9ment (; born 17 December 1977", "indices": [ 0, 39 ], "passage": "Arnaud Cl\u00e9ment" }, { "text": "Gilles Simon (; born 27 December 1984", "indices": [ 0, 37 ], "passage": "Gilles Simon" } ], "question_links": [ "Guy Forget", "Fabrice Santoro", "Arnaud Cl\u00e9ment", "Gilles Simon" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 24, "text": "Guy Forget ", "passage": "guy forget", "end": 35 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "Of the four players that won as home favorites, which was the oldest?", "qid": "q_5615" }, { "context": [ { "text": "The record for most titles is three, won by the Swiss player Marc Rosset in its first two years in 1993 and 1994, as well as in 2000", "indices": [ 177, 309 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Marc Rosset (born 7 November 1970", "indices": [ 0, 33 ], "passage": "Marc Rosset" } ], "question_links": [ "Marc Rosset" ], "answer": { "answer_value": "23", "answer_unit": "years old", "type": "value" }, "question": "How old was Marc Rosset when he won the first Open in 1993?", "qid": "q_5616" }, { "context": [ { "text": "The record for most titles is three, won by the Swiss player Marc Rosset in its first two years in 1993 and 1994, as well as in 2000; the Swedish player Thomas Enqvist also won three, in 1997, 1998, and 2002.", "indices": [ 177, 385 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "The record for most titles is three, won by the Swiss player Marc Rosset in its first two years in 1993 and 1994, as well as in 2000; the Swedish player Thomas Enqvist also won three, in 1997, 1998, and 2002.

Of the unstable isotopes, the primary decay mode of the isotopes lighter than Sr is electron capture or positron emission to isotopes of rubidium, and that of the isotopes heavier than Sr is electron emission to isotopes of yttrium. Of special note are Sr and Sr. The former has a half-life of 50.6\u00a0days and is used to treat bone cancer due to strontium's chemical similarity and hence ability to replace calcium. While Sr (half-life 28.90\u00a0years) has been used similarly, it is also an isotope of concern in fallout from nuclear weapons and nuclear accidents due to its production as a fission product. Its presence in bones can cause bone cancer, cancer of nearby tissues, and leukemia.

The seat of the Unteramt was now Wolfstein, which belonged to the Electoral Palatinate Oberamt of Kaiserslautern. Nevertheless, this arrangement lasted only a bit less than three decades before the whole feudal system was swept away. Goswin Widder, who about 1788 published a four-volume work about all Electoral Palatinate places, put together the following description: \u201cHohen\u00f6llen lies one and a half hours down from Wolfstein on the Lauter\u2019s right bank. \u2026 A quarter hour to the side lies a considerable farm, called Sulzhof. Including this, the population of 41 families, which comprise 224 souls, is great. Besides a school, there are 33 townsmen\u2019s houses and common houses. The municipal area contains 978 Morgen of cropfields, 100 Morgen of vineyards, 6 Morgen of gardens, 80 Morgen of meadows, 308 Morgen of forest. This last belongs partly to the municipality, partly to the Baron of F\u00fcrstenw\u00e4rther and a few subjects, also at the Sulzhof. They are subordinate to the forestry duties of the forester at Katzweiler.\u201d\n", "title": "Hohen\u00f6llen", "pid": "p_2388" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "His opponent was the incumbent Republican George P.

His opponent was the incumbent Republican George P. Fisher, who had served as Secretary of State when Temple was governor. Now Fisher was convinced that there were various schemes being planned to prevent a legitimate election. Accordingly, he requested that Abraham Lincoln leave the Delaware troops in the U.S. Army home until after the election, and that he send additional Federal troops to supervise the polls on election day.

Rix's Tyrsenian family of languages\u2014composed of Raetic, anciently spoken in the eastern Alps, and Lemnian, together with Etruscan\u2014has gained acceptance among scholars. Rix's Tyrsenian family has been confirmed by Stefan Schumacher, Norbert Oettinger, Carlo De Simone, and Simona Marchesini. Common features between Etruscan, Raetic, and Lemnian have been found in morphology, phonology, and syntax. On the other hand, lexical correspondences are rarely documented, due to the scant number of Raetic and Lemnian texts, and, above all, due to the very ancient date at which these languages split, because the split must have taken place before the Bronze Age. The Tyrsenian family, or Common Tyrrhenic, in this case is often considered to be Paleo-European and to predate the arrival of Indo-European languages in southern Europe. Several scholars believe that the Lemnian language could have arrived in the Aegean Sea during the Late Bronze Age, when Mycenaean rulers recruited groups of mercenaries from Sicily, Sardinia and various parts of the Italian peninsula. Scholars such as Norbert Oettinger, Michel Gras and Carlo De Simone think that the Lemnian is the testimony of an Etruscan piratesque or commercial settlement on the island that took place before 700 BC, not related to the Sea Peoples.\n", "title": "Etruscan language", "pid": "p_2390" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "Sumerian Early Dynastic Period frequently shows scenes of frontal sex in the missionary position", "indices": [ 131, 227 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "It is commonly believed that the term missionary position arose in connection with English-speaking Christian missionaries,", "indices": [ 1587, 1710 ], "passage": "Missionary position" } ], "question_links": [ "Missionary position" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 1703, "text": "English-speaking Christian missionaries", "passage": "missionary position", "end": 1742 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "How did the frontal sexual position depicted frequently in early Sumerian art get its name?", "qid": "q_5631" }, { "context": [ { "text": "In Mesopotamian votive plagues from the early second millennium BC, the man is usually shown entering the woman from behind while she bends over, drinking beer through a straw", "indices": [ 229, 404 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "There is evidence that beer was produced at G\u00f6bekli Tepe during the Pre-Pottery Neolithic (around 8500 BC to 5500 BC).", "indices": [ 2103, 2221 ], "passage": "Beer" } ], "question_links": [ "Beer" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 2211, "text": "(around 8500 BC to 5500 BC", "passage": "beer", "end": 2237 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "When was the beverage that many Mesopotamian women enjoyed drinking through a straw first discovered?", "qid": "q_5632" }, { "context": [ { "text": "Inanna, the goddess of sex and prostitution.", "indices": [ 681, 725 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Alongside her twin brother Utu (later known as Shamash), Inanna was the enforcer of divine justice;", "indices": [ 2068, 2167 ], "passage": "Inanna" } ], "question_links": [ "Inanna" ], "answer": { "answer_value": "1", "answer_unit": "brother", "type": "value" }, "question": "In Assyrian mythology, what siblings did the goddess of sex and prostitution have?", "qid": "q_5633" }, { "context": [ { "text": "the temple of Inanna at Assur,", "indices": [ 770, 800 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "A\u0161\u0161ur (; Akkadian; \u0100\u0161\u016br; Old Persian A\u03b8ur, : \u0100\u0161\u016br; : ', ), also known as Ashur and Qal'at Sherqat, was the capital of the Old Assyrian Empire (2025\u20131750 BC)", "indices": [ 0, 156 ], "passage": "Assur" } ], "question_links": [ "Assur" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 161, "text": "(2025", "passage": "assur", "end": 166 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "When was the city that contained Inanna's temple founded?", "qid": "q_5634" }, { "context": [ { "text": ".

Until 1860 Sardinia included both Savoy and Piedmont. The line from Turin to Susa was inaugurated on 22 May 1854. Work on the tunnel began on 31 August 1857 and was completed in September 1871. Work had begun on the line between Bussoleno and Bardonecchia in 1867 and was completed at the same time as the tunnel. The tunnel and line were opened on 16 October 1871. By that time, the Savoy side of the tunnel had become part of France. The decision of the engineers to begin the line at Bussoleno in order to reduce the gradient on the climb near Meana was much criticized for bypassing the city of Susa, which was left isolated on a short branch line. The opening of the tunnel also led to the closure of the short-lived Mont Cenis Pass Railway. In 1865 the line became part of the network of the Societ\u00e0 per le strade ferrate dell'Alta Italia (Upper Italian Railways, SFAI) on its foundation in 1865 and was taken over by the Rete Mediterranea (Mediterranean Network) in 1885.

It is a collaboration with Mase and the song talks about Brandy as a popstar just trying to be her and not feeling like being in her own world. In the music video, directed by Paul Hunter, Brandy was featured incurring various supernatural phenomena.

Wasson graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Wellesley College in 1918, majoring in history so she could take a wide range of science courses. She took classes in geology after graduation at the University of Chicago and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She met her future husband, petroleum geologist Theron Wasson, whom she married in 1920, while working towards a master's degree in geology at Columbia University, which she finished in 1934. They had three children: Elizabeth W. Bergstrom, a biologist; Edward B. Wasson, a petroleum geologist; and Anne Harney Gallagher, an art historian. Wasson worked as a petroleum geologist in her husband's office at the Pure Oil Company from the early 1920s until 1928. She published two scholarly articles on geology, one co-authored with her husband about an oil field discovered by Pure Oil in 1914, and another by herself about the ages of rock formations in Ohio and new terminology for them; the latter was cited in a number of other papers and a recent book. After 1928 she spent over 50 years in River Forest, IL, teaching science in the local public schools, lecturing, bird watching (ornithology), and mentoring generations of young naturalists. She was quoted in this 1986 Chicago Tribune article as an expert on local geology at age 89. She was honored for her contributions to local history in 1982 when the Wasson Room was named after her in a local school to hold local history resources. Her interests included archaeology; she discovered a Native American religious mound in Thatcher Woods, near her house in River Forest, in the 1930s. An article about her discovery called her \"the one who started the environmental education movement in America back in the 1920s and '30s.\" Theron and Isabel divorced in 1953 and she did not remarry.

In 1554 Ngawang Drakpa Gyaltsen temporarily took over the throne of his old grandfather, when the latter was forced to step down for a while. However, new turmoil broke out in Central Tibet in 1555. A council was headed by the religious hierarchs of Drigung Kagyu and Shamarpa, and it was decided to put the old ex-king back on the throne. Ngawang Drakpa Gyaltsen had to return to Gongri Karpo. Some years later he rose against the 75-year-old ruler and tried to acquire the throne permanently. He was aided in his ambitions by the ruler of Ganden. He also kept good relations with Sonam Gyatso, later known as the Third Dalai Lama. A number of Buddhist dignitaries tried to intervene in the rebellion, to no avail. In the next year 1564, his grandfather died. New disturbances broke out between the N\u00eadong and Gongri Karpo branches of the dynasty. Sonam Gyatso was asked to mediate in the conflict. Eventually Ngawang Drakpa Gyaltsen became the new gongma or king in 1576. However, the executive authority of the Phagmodrupa was now almost depleted. Nevertheless, the Phagmodrupa still filled a role as a focal point around which politics in \u00dc (East Central Tibet) revolved and different groups balanced each other. Conditions in this part of Tibet tended to be relatively peaceful in the decades of the late sixteenth century, and relations between the main religious sects Karmapa and Gelugpa were amiable for the moment.\n", "title": "Ngawang Drakpa Gyaltsen", "pid": "p_2412" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "After patrol duty early in October, Lardner returned to escort duty between New Caledonia and the Solomons, then screened task forces operating out of Purvis Bay in the Bougainville Campaign.", "indices": [ 0, 191 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "The first phase, in which American troops landed and held the perimeter around the beachhead at Torokina, lasted from November 1943", "indices": [ 340, 471 ], "passage": "Bougainville campaign" } ], "question_links": [ "Bougainville campaign" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 502, "text": "1943", "passage": "bougainville campaign", "end": 506 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "What year did the Bougainville Campaign begin?", "qid": "q_5704" }, { "context": [ { "text": "After patrol duty early in October, Lardner returned to escort duty between New Caledonia and the Solomons, then screened task forces operating out of Purvis Bay", "indices": [ 0, 161 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Late in February, the destroyer bombarded Rabaul; searched the Bismarck Sea for enemy shipping; and then attacked Karavia Bay, sinking an enemy cargo ship of the Heito Maru class 25 February.", "indices": [ 478, 669 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Purvis Bay", "Karavia Bay" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "Of the two bays the USS Lardner operated in, which had the largest land area?", "qid": "q_5705" }, { "context": [ { "text": "During March and April, Lardner operated with support forces for the Palaus raid, and with escort carriers during the landing at Hollandia, New Guinea.", "indices": [ 792, 943 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Operations Reckless and Persecution" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "How many people lived in the city the Lardner landed at in New Guinea have?", "qid": "q_5706" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 76, 89 ], "target": "New Caledonia" }, { "indices": [ 98, 106 ], "target": "Solomon Islands" }, { "indices": [ 151, 161 ], "target": "Purvis Bay" }, { "indices": [ 169, 190 ], "target": "Bougainville campaign" }, { "indices": [ 206, 218 ], "target": "Bougainville Island" }, { "indices": [ 379, 395 ], "target": "Battle of the Green Islands" }, { "indices": [ 399, 411 ], "target": "Nissan Island" }, { "indices": [ 448, 457 ], "target": "Aichi D3A" }, { "indices": [ 464, 476 ], "target": "Dive bomber" }, { "indices": [ 520, 526 ], "target": "Rabaul" }, { "indices": [ 541, 553 ], "target": "Bismarck Sea" }, { "indices": [ 592, 603 ], "target": "Karavia Bay" }, { "indices": [ 699, 706 ], "target": "Kavieng" }, { "indices": [ 724, 732 ], "target": "Shrapnel shell" }, { "indices": [ 910, 930 ], "target": "Operations Reckless and Persecution" }, { "indices": [ 932, 942 ], "target": "New Guinea" } ], "text": "After patrol duty early in October, Lardner returned to escort duty between New Caledonia and the Solomons, then screened task forces operating out of Purvis Bay in the Bougainville Campaign.

Clagett writes that it is \"certain\" this duodecimal division of the night followed the adoption of the Egyptian civil calendar, usually placed on the basis of analyses of the Sothic cycle, but a lunar calendar presumably long predated this and also would have had twelve months in each of its years. The coffin diagrams show that the Egyptians took note of the heliacal risings of 36 stars or constellations (now known as \"decans\"), one for each of the ten-day \"weeks\" of their civil calendar. (12 sets of alternate \"triangle decans\" were used for the 5 epagomenal days between years.) Each night, the rising of eleven of these decans were noted, separating the night into twelve divisions whose middle terms would have lasted about 40minutes each. (Another seven stars were noted by the Egyptians during the twilight and predawn periods, although they were not important for the hour divisions.) The original decans used by the Egyptians would have fallen noticeably out of their proper places over a span of several centuries.

Also in 2004, Ottawa instituted a law against lap dancing, and the AEAC unsuccessfully attempted to have the law overturned in 2007.

In 2008, when Minister of Citizenship and Immigration Diane Finley allegedly received threats from sex industry officials in relation to her support of Bill C-17, which sought to allow immigration officers to deny temporary visas to prospective strippers if they were suspected to be sex trafficking victims, Lambrinos said that \"it's not plausible\" that any of the AEAC strip clubs were responsible for the threats. In 2009, the AEAC invited Toronto City Council members to attend a free lunch at a strip club in the city, and three councillors accepted the invitation. The AEAC released a statement in 2010 that the government's crackdown on sex industry worker visas had resulted in a stripper shortage, and Minister of Public Safety Vic Toews responded by saying that the strip clubs that were short on strippers because of the crackdown were engaging in human trafficking. Toews then ordered the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to investigate the relevant strip clubs in order to determine whether or not the strippers working there were illegal immigrants or sex trafficking victims, and the AEAC launched a campaign to deny these allegations.\n", "title": "Adult Entertainment Association of Canada", "pid": "p_2426" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "Georges Sada was born in 1939 in Iraq", "indices": [ 0, 37 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Iraq" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "How many people were living in Iraq the year that Georges Sada was born?", "qid": "q_5740" }, { "context": [ { "text": "In 1958 at the age of nineteen, Sada applied to the air academy in Iraq and was accepted as a cadet, graduating from the Iraqi Air Academy in 1959", "indices": [ 678, 824 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Iraqi Air Force" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "How many people were in Sada's graduating class at the Iraqi Air Academy the year he graduated?", "qid": "q_5741" }, { "context": [ { "text": "but was later called back to active service as an Air Vice Marshal for the 1990 invasion of Kuwait.

In this time he did 'odd jobs' at the base, befriending both the pilots and the technicians who repaired their aircraft, resolving that one day he himself would have a career in the Air Force as a pilot. In 1958 at the age of nineteen, Sada applied to the air academy in Iraq and was accepted as a cadet, graduating from the Iraqi Air Academy in 1959.

He began writing the screenplay for a Nat Turner film in 2009 and had a fellowship at a lab under the Sundance Institute. While he got writing feedback from filmmakers like James Mangold, he was told that a Nat Turner film could not be produced. The Hollywood Reporter said:But what he heard instead were all the reasons a movie about Nat Turner wouldn't work: Movies with black leads don't play internationally; a period film with big fight scenes would be too expensive; it was too violent; it wouldn't work without a big box-office star leading it; Turner was too controversial\u2014after all, he was responsible for the deaths of dozens of well-off white landowners.After Parker finished his acting role in Beyond the Lights in late 2013, he told his agents he would not continue acting until he had played Nat Turner in a film. He invested $100,000 of his money to hire a production designer and to pay for location scouting in Savannah, Georgia. He met with multiple financiers, and the first to invest in the film were retired basketball player Michael Finley (who had previously invested in the film The Butler) and active basketball player Tony Parker (no relation).

The load was destined for the locations in the \"wholesale block\" on the western edge of Lackawanna Avenue in Scranton\u2014either the local A&P Warehouse or to Halem Hazzouri Bananas, the premier banana seller in the area at the time. Sesky was driving a 1950s Brockway diesel truck tractor with a semi-trailer and was headed down Rt. 307 when he suddenly lost control. That section of Rt. 307 contains a two-mile descent extending from Lake Scranton to the bottom of Moosic Street that includes a drop in elevation of more than in less than . Sesky was unable to control the truck's speed down the hill due to a mechanical failure, variously attributed to the truck's brake system or its clutch. As a result, the truck cruised into Scranton at approximately , sideswiping a number of cars before it crashed into a house at the southwest corner of Moosic St and S. Irving Ave (), close to the bottom of the hill. Witnesses reported that Sesky did everything possible to avoid pedestrians and other motorists, including climbing out onto the truck's running board to try to warn people, and some have suggested that he may have deliberately flipped the truck over to avoid striking either bystanders or an automotive service station on Moosic Street that could have exploded in flames, causing a greater loss of life. Sesky was thrown from the truck and killed and bananas were spilled and strewn when the rig came to rest; 15 others were injured but only Sesky died. The road was closed for cleanup as Johnson's Towing Company helped out in the recovery. Trucks over 21,000 lb (10.5 t) are no longer allowed to travel that route (they must use Interstate 380 via Dunmore.)\n", "title": "30,000 Pounds of Bananas", "pid": "p_2433" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "the formation of Bulgaria in 681.

Collecting golden musical notes scattered around levels will enable Banjo to purchase three additional abilities from a mole named Bozzeye. Eventually, Banjo rescues Kazooie, who rides in his backpack for the remainder of the game. With Kazooie, the player can purchase seven new abilities, such as temporary flight.

In 1929, he took part as a musician in a collaboration between Italian-American guitarist Eddie Lang and the blues guitarist Lonnie Johnson, together with King Oliver and Hoagy Carmichael, which was given the name \"Blind Willie Dunn & His Gin Bottle Four\" in order to disguise the inter-racial nature of the group.

Perestroika has been noted by academics and critical thinkers for both its artistic form and commentary on environmental and social issues, most notably featuring in the essay volumes Performing Authorship: Self inscription and corporeality in the cinema and Screening Nature: Cinema Beyond the Human. For Cecilia Sayad, the film\u2019s importance lies in its structures: its function in highlighting the act of authorship as performance, and how the film\u2019s structural devices serve to emphasise the fictionality of narration, how the retelling, even of truth or fact, always and necessarily involves an element of creation and thus fiction. Sayad comments that whilst Perestroika ostensibly interweaves footage of a 2007\u201308 reconstruction of a train journey across Siberia that Turner took in 1987\u201388 with that from the original journey in what was then the USSR, it is as much about the workings of memory and filmmaking itself. But Sophie Mayer has commented on how the work uses the idea of pollution as a function of retention, and weaves it through both the social/cultural and natural worlds.

In the spring of that year, Morton was having an interview at ringside when Flair came onto the set and insulted Morton's fans (who consisted mostly of tween girls) by calling them \"teenyboppers in their training bras.\" He gave Morton a training bra as a \"gift from one of Flair's girlfriends\" and told Morton that he couldn't handle real, grown-up women. In response, Morton stomped on Flair's sunglasses. This led to a fight and then a series of matches, the most notable being their Steel Cage match at the 1986 Great American Bash. To help build Morton as a serious title contender, it was pointed out that he once went to a one-hour draw with then-AWA Champion Nick Bockwinkel. Morton never won the title but he proved that he was of the same caliber as Flair was in the ring. At one point in the feud with Flair, after a six-man tag team elimination match in which Morton pinned Flair to become the winner, Flair and the other three Four Horsemen invaded the Rock 'n' Roll Express' dressing room and attacked Morton, rubbing his face on the concrete floor, causing a grotesque-looking facial injury. They also broke his nose in another attack. Horsemen member Arn Anderson would also make fun of Morton, calling him \"Punky Morton,\" which was a play on the popular 1980s sitcom Punky Brewster. The term used to belittle Morton backfired when fans began to use it as a term of endearment. Morton and Gibson won the title back from the Midnight Express and feuded with Ole and Arn Anderson for the rest of the year. They culminated this feud with a win over the Andersons in a cage match at Starrcade on November 28. This victory started the Horsemen's dissatisfaction with Ole, who was kicked out of the stable just months later. Morton and Gibson then lost the title to Rick Rude and Manny Fernandez on December 6, 1986, whom they feuded with from December 1986 to June 1987. When Rude left for the World Wrestling Federation, the title was given back to the Rock & Roll Express, with the explanation that they won the title accompanied by footage of a prior non-title match won by the Rock & Roll Express where they pinned the champions.\n", "title": "Ricky Morton", "pid": "p_2468" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "He is currently signed to WWE", "indices": [ 68, 97 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Steen wrestled under his birth name for Ring of Honor (ROH)", "indices": [ 259, 318 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "teen also wrestled extensively on the independent circuit for 14 years, most notably in Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG)", "indices": [ 399, 516 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "He is currently signed to WWE", "indices": [ 68, 97 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "The WWE name also refers to the professional wrestling promotion itself, founded by Jess McMahon and Toots Mondt in 1952", "indices": [ 269, 389 ], "passage": "WWE" }, { "text": "Steen also wrestled extensively on the independent circuit for 14 years, most notably in Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG)", "indices": [ 398, 516 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "WWE", "Ring of Honor", "Pro Wrestling Guerrilla" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 512, "text": "PWG", "passage": "Kevin Owens", "end": 515 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "Which of the wrestling companies that Kevin Owens has worked for is newest?", "qid": "q_5827" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 45, 66 ], "target": "Professional wrestling" }, { "indices": [ 94, 97 ], "target": "WWE" }, { "indices": [ 124, 133 ], "target": "Raw (WWE brand)" }, { "indices": [ 144, 153 ], "target": "Ring name" }, { "indices": [ 299, 312 ], "target": "Ring of Honor" }, { "indices": [ 338, 360 ], "target": "ROH World Championship" }, { "indices": [ 365, 396 ], "target": "ROH World Tag Team Championship" }, { "indices": [ 437, 456 ], "target": "Independent circuit" }, { "indices": [ 487, 510 ], "target": "Pro Wrestling Guerrilla" }, { "indices": [ 536, 558 ], "target": "PWG World Championship" }, { "indices": [ 568, 579 ], "target": "List of PWG World Champions" }, { "indices": [ 596, 627 ], "target": "PWG World Tag Team Championship" } ], "text": "Kevin Steen (born May 7, 1984) is a Canadian professional wrestler.

The first pictures were the Statue of Liberty in New York and the Eiffel Tower in Paris. The first broadcast was to have been remarks by President John F. Kennedy, but the signal was acquired before the president was ready, so engineers filled the lead-in time with a short segment of a televised game between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. The batter, Tony Taylor, was seen hitting a ball pitched by Cal Koonce to the right fielder George Altman. From there, the video switched first to Washington, DC; then to Cape Canaveral, Florida; to the Seattle World's Fair; then to Quebec and finally to Stratford, Ontario. The Washington segment included remarks by President Kennedy, talking about the price of the American dollar, which was causing concern in Europe. When Kennedy denied that the United States would devalue the dollar it immediately strengthened on world markets; Cronkite later said that \"we all glimpsed something of the true power of the instrument we had wrought.\"\n", "title": "Telstar", "pid": "p_2472" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "the first commercial scale production of whisky in Canada began in 1801 when John Molson purchased a copper pot still, previously used to produce rum, in Montreal.

Most of these early whiskies would have been rough, mostly unaged wheat whiskey. Distilling methods and technologies were brought to Canada by American and European immigrants with experience in distilling wheat and rye. This early whisky from improvised stills, often with the grains closest to spoilage, was produced with various, uncontrolled proofs and was consumed, unaged, by the local market. While most distilling capacity was taken up producing rum, a result of Atlantic Canada's position in the British sugar trade, the first commercial scale production of whisky in Canada began in 1801 when John Molson purchased a copper pot still, previously used to produce rum, in Montreal. With his son Thomas Molson, and eventually partner James Morton, the Molsons operated a distillery in Montreal and Kingston and were the first in Canada to export whisky, benefiting from Napoleonic Wars' disruption in supplying French wine and brandies to England. Gooderham and Worts began producing whisky in 1837 in Toronto as a side business to their wheat milling but surpassed Molson's production by the 1850s as it expanded their operations with a new distillery in what would become the Distillery District. Henry Corby started distilling whisky as a side business from his gristmill in 1859 in what became known as Corbyville and Joseph Seagram began working in his father-in-law's Waterloo flour mill and distillery in 1864, which he would eventually purchase in 1883. Meanwhile, Americans Hiram Walker and J.P. Wiser moved to Canada: Walker to Windsor in 1858 to open a flour mill and distillery and Wiser to Prescott in 1857 to work at his uncle's distillery where he introduced a rye whisky and was successful enough to buy the distillery five years later. The disruption of American Civil War created an export opportunity for Canadian-made whiskies and their quality, particularly those from Walker and Wiser who had already begun the practice of aging their whiskies, sustained that market even after post-war tariffs were introduced. In the 1880s, Canada's National Policy placed high tariffs on foreign alcoholic products as whisky began to be sold in bottles and the federal government instituted a bottled in bond program that provided certification of the time a whisky spent aging and allowed deferral of taxes for that period, which encouraged aging. In 1890 Canada became the first country to enact an aging law for whiskies, requiring them to be aged at least two years. The growing temperance movement culminated in prohibition in 1916 and distilleries had to either specialize in the export market or switch to alternative products, like industrial alcohols which were in demand in support of the war effort.\n", "title": "Canadian whisky", "pid": "p_2473" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "The native Early Bronze Age that followed was dominated by the innovative Unetice culture in western Poland, and by the conservative Mierzanowice culture in the east.", "indices": [ 89, 255 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": " The native Early Bronze Age that followed was dominated by the innovative Unetice culture in western Poland, and by the conservative Mierzanowice culture in the east.", "indices": [ 88, 255 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "As such, it is candidate for a late community connecting a continuum of already scattered North-West Indo-European languages ancestral to Italic, Celtic, and Germanic, and perhaps Balto-Slavic, where words were frequently exchanged and a common lexicon and certain regional isoglosses were shared.", "indices": [ 3820, 4117 ], "passage": "Unetice culture" }, { "text": "Settlements of the Mierzanowice culture in most cases are represented by small and seasonal camps.", "indices": [ 1953, 2051 ], "passage": "Mierzanowice culture" } ], "question_links": [ "Mierzanowice culture", "Unetice culture" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 12, "text": "Unetice", "passage": "unetice culture", "end": 19 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "Which culture had a higher population?", "qid": "q_5837" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 71, 87 ], "target": "Pannonian Basin" }, { "indices": [ 163, 178 ], "target": "Unetice culture" }, { "indices": [ 222, 242 ], "target": "Mierzanowice culture" }, { "indices": [ 388, 403 ], "target": "Tumulus culture" }, { "indices": [ 412, 429 ], "target": "Trzciniec culture" }, { "indices": [ 487, 504 ], "target": "Urnfield culture" }, { "indices": [ 602, 608 ], "target": "Europe" }, { "indices": [ 624, 640 ], "target": "Lusatian culture" }, { "indices": [ 768, 776 ], "target": "Scythians" }, { "indices": [ 926, 944 ], "target": "Pomeranian culture" }, { "indices": [ 1000, 1007 ], "target": "Masuria" }, { "indices": [ 1008, 1014 ], "target": "Warmia" } ], "text": "Bronze items present in Poland around 2300 BC were brought through the Carpathian Basin.

Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian gave the film four stars out of five, calling it \"another sprightly confection of oddities, attractively eccentric, witty and strangely clothed\". The New York Timess Manohla Dargis reviewed Anderson and Coppola's screenplay as a \"beautifully coordinated admixture of droll humor, deadpan and slapstick\". Peter Travers positively reviewed the actors' performances, calling Norton engaging, Balaban \"delightful\" and Willis agreeable. Travers also credited cinematographer Yeoman for \"a poet's eye\" and composer Alexandre Desplat for his contributions. As novice actors, Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward also received praise. The Daily Telegraphs review stated it was \"exhilarating\" to see different elements combined, such as the music of Britten and Hank Williams. It called the end result \"an extraordinarily affected piece of filmmaking\". The Hollywood Reporters review by Todd McCarthy described the film as an \"eccentric, pubescent love story\", \"impeccably made\".

With cannons placed on a hill opposite the castle, Ireton bombarded it's once impenetrable walls until there was a large breakthrough after about 8 shots and then proceeded to kill about thirteen of the out-guard and lost only two of his men with about ten wounded.

Fitzgibbon was spared his life for his swift surrender of the castle, but subsequently lost his lands at Ardfinnan and was transplanted to Connacht in 1653. Guns, ammunition and other supplies arriving at Youghal would be brought over the river Blackwater at the pass at Cappoquin and then finally over the river Suir at Ardfinnan to reach the rest of the army in Tipperary.

The USSR countered by rapidly developing their own nuclear weapons, surprising the US with their first test in 1949. In turn, the U.S. countered by developing the vastly more powerful thermonuclear weapon, testing their first hydrogen bomb in 1952 at Ivy Mike, but the USSR quickly countered by testing their own thermonuclear weapons, with a test in 1953 of a semi-thermonuclear weapon of the Sloika design, and in 1956, with the testing of Sakharov's Third Idea \u2013 equivalent to the Castle Bravo device. Meanwhile, tensions between the two nations rose as 1956 saw the suppression of Hungary by the Soviets; the U.S. and European nations drew certain conclusions from that event, while in the U.S., a powerful social backlash was afoot, prompted by Senator Joseph McCarthy, the House Un-American Activities Committee, and Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, U.S. citizens executed in 1953 after conviction of espionage. This atmosphere was further inflamed by the 1957 launch of Sputnik, which led to fears of Communists attacking from outer space, as well as concerns that if the Soviets could launch a device into orbit, they could equally cause a device to re-enter the atmosphere and impact any part of the planet. John F. Kennedy capitalized on this situation by emphasizing the Bomber gap and the Missile gap, areas in which the Soviets were (inaccurately) perceived as leading the United States, while heated Soviet rhetoric added to political pressure. The 1960 U-2 incident, involving Francis Gary Powers, as well as the Berlin Crisis, along with the test of the Tsar Bomba, escalated tensions still further.\n", "title": "Pre-emptive nuclear strike", "pid": "p_2491" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "Modern Kangra is one of the ancient town in North Trigarta, extending westward to the Punjab area.", "indices": [ 195, 293 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Kangra became a district of British India in 1846", "indices": [ 735, 784 ], "passage": "Kangra district" } ], "question_links": [ "Kangra district" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 800, "text": "India ", "passage": "kangra district", "end": 806 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "What modern country is Kangra part of?", "qid": "q_5873" }, { "context": [ { "text": "Viratas to resist the combined forces of Trigartas and Kurus.

The seats of the Caesars were Augusta Treverorum (on the River Rhine frontier) for Constantius Chlorus and Sirmium (on the River Danube frontier) for Galerius who also resided at Thessaloniki.\n", "title": "Roman Italy", "pid": "p_2514" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "On Christmas Day 1969, they appeared simultaneously on BBC1 and BBC2, starring in Christmas Night With The Stars, hosted by Val Doonican on BBC1 and in their own 'special' Jesus on BBC2.", "indices": [ 256, 442 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Lucky 13 Shades of Val Doonican (Decca, 1964, UK album chart #2)\n- Gentle Shades of Val Doonican (Decca, 1966, UK album chart #5)\n- Val Doonican Rocks, But Gently (Pye, 1967, UK album chart #1)\n- Val (Pye, 1968, UK album chart #6)\n- The World of Val Doonican (Decca, 1969, UK album chart #2)\n- Sounds Gentle (Pye, 1969, UK album chart #22)\n- Especially For You (Contour, 1970)\n- If The Whole World Stopped Loving (Contour, 1970)\n- Gentle On My Mind (Contour, 1970)\n- The Blue And The Grey \u2013 Songs From The American Civil War (with the George Mitchell Singers, World Record Club, 1970)\n- The Magic of Val Doonican (Philips, 1970, UK album chart #34)\n- This Is Val Doonican (Philips, 1971, UK album chart #40)\n- This Is Val Doonican, Vol.2 (Philips, 1971)\n- Just A Sittin' And A Rockin' (Philips 1971)\n- Morning In The Country (Philips, 1972)\n- Morning Has Broken (Philips, 1972)\n- Rocking Chair Favourites (Philips, 1973)\n- I Love Country Music (Philips, 1975, UK album chart #37)\n- Life Can Be Beautiful (Philips, 1976)\n- Some of My Best Friends Are Songs (Philips, 1977, UK album chart #29)\n- Mr. Music Man (Pickwick, 1981)\n- Quiet Moments (RCA, 1981)\n- Val Sings Bing (RCA, 1982)\n- Songs From My Sketchbook (Parkfield, 1990, UK album chart #33)\n- The Very Best of Val Doonican (UMTV, 2008, UK album chart #33)", "indices": [ 7175, 8486 ], "passage": "Val Doonican" } ], "question_links": [ "Val Doonican" ], "answer": { "answer_value": "25", "answer_unit": "albums", "type": "value" }, "question": "How many albums were recorded by the host of the show Dougie Squires appeared on Christmas Day 1969?", "qid": "q_5919" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 214, 224 ], "target": "Rod McKuen" }, { "indices": [ 234, 254 ], "target": "Fifty Years of Music" }, { "indices": [ 380, 392 ], "target": "Val Doonican" }, { "indices": [ 595, 599 ], "target": "Lulu (singer)" }, { "indices": [ 627, 640 ], "target": "Esther Ofarim" }, { "indices": [ 671, 685 ], "target": "Shirley Bassey" }, { "indices": [ 797, 813 ], "target": "Kenneth Williams" }, { "indices": [ 870, 879 ], "target": "Vera Lynn" }, { "indices": [ 904, 913 ], "target": "Don Lurio" }, { "indices": [ 1065, 1086 ], "target": "Engelbert Humperdinck (singer)" }, { "indices": [ 1120, 1130 ], "target": "Vince Hill" }, { "indices": [ 1248, 1263 ], "target": "Clodagh Rodgers" }, { "indices": [ 1265, 1278 ], "target": "The Bachelors" }, { "indices": [ 1280, 1292 ], "target": "Danny La Rue" }, { "indices": [ 1297, 1308 ], "target": "Sandie Shaw" }, { "indices": [ 1390, 1398 ], "target": "Ken Dodd" }, { "indices": [ 1548, 1557 ], "target": "Vera Lynn" }, { "indices": [ 1582, 1600 ], "target": "A Jubilee of Music" } ], "text": "In 1970, the troupe continued to appear on BBC2's Show Of The Week and other BBC series in which they appeared included Lulu at Berns Restaurant, A Royal Television Gala Performance, The British Screen Awards, The Rod McKuen Show and Fifty Years Of Music.

Moses was replaced with the Bronx's Democratic Boss Edward J. Flynn. When the Wall Street crash in October 1929 ushered in the Great Depression, Roosevelt started a relief system that later became the model for the New Deal's Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA). Roosevelt followed President Herbert Hoover's advice and asked the state legislature for $20 million in relief funds, which he spent mainly on public works in the hope of stimulating demand and providing employment. Aid to the unemployed, he said, \"must be extended by Government, not as a matter of charity, but as a matter of social duty.\" In his first term, Roosevelt famously said, \"The United States Constitution has proved itself the most marvelously elastic compilation of rules of government ever written.\" He was referring to the belief he had that the Federal government would need to use more power in order to bring the country out of the Depression.\n", "title": "Governorship of Franklin D.

At the time of the American Revolution, the phrase appeared regularly on the title page of the London-based Gentleman's Magazine, founded in 1731, which collected articles from many sources into one periodical. This usage in turn can be traced back to the London-based Huguenot Peter Anthony Motteux, who had employed the adage for his The Gentleman's Journal, or the Monthly Miscellany (1692\u20131694). The phrase is similar to a Latin translation of a variation of Heraclitus's tenth fragment, \"The one is made up of all things, and all things issue from the one\" (\u1f10\u03ba \u03c0\u03ac\u03bd\u03c4\u03c9\u03bd \u1f13\u03bd \u03ba\u03b1\u1f76 \u1f10\u03be \u1f11\u03bd\u1f78\u03c2 \u03c0\u03ac\u03bd\u03c4\u03b1). A variant of the phrase was used in \"Moretum\", a poem belonging to the Appendix Virgiliana, describing (on the surface at least) the making of moretum, a kind of herb and cheese spread related to modern pesto. In the poem text, color est e pluribus unus describes the blending of colors into one. St Augustine used a variant of the phrase, ex pluribus unum, in his Confessions. But it seems more likely that the phrase refers to Cicero's paraphrase of Pythagoras in his De Officiis, as part of his discussion of basic family and social bonds as the origin of societies and states: \"When each person loves the other as much as himself, it makes one out of many (unus fiat ex pluribus), as Pythagoras wishes things to be in friendship.\"\n", "title": "E pluribus unum", "pid": "p_2519" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "in the name of the Finnish Socialist Workers' Republic ceded the fortress to Soviet Russia in exchange for the city of Petsamo.", "indices": [ 475, 602 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "The Finnish People's Delegation, mainly Otto Ville Kuusinen, formulated and set forth, o", "indices": [ 1938, 2026 ], "passage": "Finnish Socialist Workers' Republic" } ], "question_links": [ "Finnish Socialist Workers' Republic" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 2027, "text": "Otto Ville Kuusinen", "passage": "finnish socialist workers' republic", "end": 2046 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "Who was the leader of the Republic?", "qid": "q_5931" }, { "context": [ { "text": "in the name of the Finnish Socialist Workers' Republic ceded the fortress to Soviet Russia in exchange for the city of Petsamo.", "indices": [ 475, 602 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "The Finnish Civil War ended with the German invasion of Finland and the consequent defeat of the Finnish Red Guards and FSWR on 5 May 1918", "indices": [ 5219, 5357 ], "passage": "Finnish Socialist Workers' Republic" } ], "question_links": [ "Finnish Socialist Workers' Republic" ], "answer": { "answer_value": "1", "answer_unit": "year", "type": "value" }, "question": "How many years did the Republic last?", "qid": "q_5932" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 62, 78 ], "target": "Karelian Isthmus" }, { "indices": [ 102, 118 ], "target": "Viipuri Province" }, { "indices": [ 137, 159 ], "target": "Grand Duchy of Finland" }, { "indices": [ 208, 217 ], "target": "Saint Petersburg" }, { "indices": [ 259, 268 ], "target": "Kronstadt" }, { "indices": [ 316, 323 ], "target": "Finland" }, { "indices": [ 377, 394 ], "target": "Finnish Civil War" }, { "indices": [ 423, 441 ], "target": "Red Guards (Finland)" }, { "indices": [ 443, 457 ], "target": "Edvard Gylling" }, { "indices": [ 462, 474 ], "target": "Oskari Tokoi" }, { "indices": [ 494, 529 ], "target": "Finnish Socialist Workers' Republic" }, { "indices": [ 616, 636 ], "target": "White Guard (Finland)" }, { "indices": [ 817, 837 ], "target": "Hugo \u00d6sterman" }, { "indices": [ 865, 872 ], "target": "German Empire" }, { "indices": [ 932, 949 ], "target": "Government of the Soviet Union" }, { "indices": [ 976, 999 ], "target": "Treaty of Brest-Litovsk" }, { "indices": [ 1108, 1117 ], "target": "Kronstadt" }, { "indices": [ 1129, 1150 ], "target": "Russian battleship Imperator Pavel I" }, { "indices": [ 1161, 1176 ], "target": "Treaty of Tartu (Russian\u2013Finnish)" } ], "text": "Fort Ino was constructed in 1909-1916 on Cape Inoniemi on the Karelian Isthmus, within the borders of Viipuri Province of the autonomous Grand Duchy of Finland.

However, the Finnish White Guards, who ultimately came out victorious in the civil war, demanded the fortress back, without offering a similar return of Petsamo, and on April 24 the 5th Jaeger Regiment under Major Hugo Viktor \u00d6sterman laid siege to it.

He served as ambassador to Britain from 1925 to 1927 and oversaw Soviet espionage in Britain.

During that decade, Moore helped to bring about greater social respectability for comics in the United States and United Kingdom. He prefers the term \"comic\" to \"graphic novel\". In the late 1980s and early 1990s he left the comic industry mainstream and went independent for a while, working on experimental work such as the epic From Hell and the prose novel Voice of the Fire. He subsequently returned to the mainstream later in the 1990s, working for Image Comics, before developing America's Best Comics, an imprint through which he published works such as The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and the occult-based Promethea.

The sparse set and semicircular stage created an intimate and immediate effect. The play is highly stylized and combines old-fashioned showmanship, classic musical theatre, commedia dell'arte and Noh theatrical traditions. The original production was directed by Word Baker and was produced on a very low budget. The producers spent $900 on the set and $541 on costumes, at a time when major Broadway shows would cost $250,000. The original set designer, costumer, prop master, and lighting designer was Ed Wittstein, who performed all four jobs for a total of only $480 plus $24.48 a week. The set was similar to that for Our Town; Wittstein designed a raised stationary platform anchored by six poles. It resembled a traveling players' wagon, like a pageant wagon. As for a curtain, he hung various small false curtains across the platform at various times during the play. He also made a sun/moon out of cardboard. One side was painted bright yellow (the sun) and the other was black with a crescent of white (the moon). The sun/moon was hung from a nail in one of the poles and is referred to in the libretto.

As a child he assumed that he would work in his father's law firm. He became interested in science through Hollywood films. In Niamey there were few opportunities to practise science as his school did not have a laboratory. He was keen to move to America to study, and completed high school two years early. He moved to the United States at the age of 17 to attend college. Ciss\u00e9 studied physics at the North Carolina Central University and graduated in 2004. During his undergraduate degree he was encouraged by Carl Wieman to apply for a fellowship, and spent a summer at Princeton University working in condensed matter physics. During this summer project he looked at jammed disordered packings, investigating how M&M's arrange in a small volume with Paul Chaikin. Ciss\u00e9 used various techniques to study jammed packings, including magnetic resonance imaging, but in the end used a much simpler approach - painting M&M's and analysing how many times they knocked into each other. The result was published in Science. He moved to Urbana for his graduate studies, and earned his PhD under the supervision of single molecule biophysicist Taekjip Ha at the University of Illinois at Urbana\u2013Champaign in 2009. After completing his doctorate, Ciss\u00e9 joined the \u00c9cole Normale Sup\u00e9rieure in Paris. He worked as a Pierre Gilles de Gennes Fellow in the joint labs of a physicist, Maxime Dahan, and a biologist, Xavier Darzacq. He also held a long-term fellowship with the European Molecular Biology Organization. In Paris, Ciss\u00e9 developed the single-cell microscopy technique time-correlated photoactivated localization microscopy (tcPALM), allowing for time resolved measurements in vitro. Ciss\u00e9 used transient-PALM to demonstrated that RNA polymerase II forms clusters that deconstruct after their work is done.

Players match notes that scroll on-screen to colored fret buttons on the controller, strumming the controller in time to the music in order to score points, and keep the virtual audience excited. The games attempt to mimic many features of playing a real guitar, including the use of fast-fingering hammer-ons and pull-offs and the use of the whammy bar to alter the pitch of notes. Most games support single player modes, typically a Career mode to play through all the songs in the game, and both competitive and cooperative multiplayer modes. With the introduction of Guitar Hero World Tour in 2008, the game includes support for a four-player band including vocals and drums. The series initially used mostly cover versions of songs created by WaveGroup Sound, but most recent titles feature soundtracks that are fully master recordings, and in some cases, special re-recordings, of the songs.

It is now known, however, that the perceived irregular orbit of Neptune was the result of a mathematical error because Pluto, being a planetoid smaller than our own Moon, was far too small to affect any type of gravitational pull on the gas giant. Pluto is very much a 20th-century planet and refers to the two world wars, and weapons of mass destruction, nuclear power, and a desire to totally control the world we live in. It is a planet that reveals to us the extremes we are capable of if we do not set necessary boundaries in our lives. This planet governs the compulsions in our life: those things we are compelled to do but know we should not, such as murder, rape, drug addiction, and even overeating if it is of such an extent that it threatens our health. Pluto is considered to be a higher octave of Mars, and this is evidenced by the fact that both planets co-rule Scorpio. Pluto, circling the Sun in 248 years, has a rather elliptical orbit, which means that it stays in the sign it rules, Scorpio, for a mere 9 years, and the sign of its fall, Taurus for 30! With this in mind, some astrologers believe that Pluto should rightfully rule Taurus, but for the time being it still rules Scorpio.

This was condemned by certain archbishops and theologians as the repetition of the five condemned propositions of Jansen, and Gerberon defended it, under the name of Abb\u00e9 Valentin in Le Miroir sans tache (Paris, 1680). He had by this time aroused against him the full fury of the Jesuits, and at their instigation a royal provost was sent to Corbie to arrest him. He had, however, just time to escape, and fled to the Low Countries, where he lived in various towns. He was invited by the Jansenist clergy to Holland, where he wrote another controversial work against the Protestants: D\u00e9fense de l'\u00c9glise Romaine contre la calomnie des Protestants (Cologne, 1688\u20131691). This produced unpleasantness with the Reformed clergy, and feeling himself no longer safe he returned to Brussels. In 1700 he published his history of Jansenism (Histoire g\u00e9n\u00e9rale du Jans\u00e9nisme), considered a dry work, by which, however, he is best remembered. He adhered firmly to the Augustinian doctrine of Predestination, and on 30 May 1703 he was arrested at Brussels at the instance of the archbishop of Mechelen, and ordered to subscribe the condemnation of the five sentences of Jansen. On his refusal, he was handed over to his superiors and imprisoned in the citadel of Amiens and afterwards at Vincennes. Every sort of pressure was brought to bear upon him to make his submission, and at last, broken in health and spirit, he consented to sign a formula which the Cardinal de Noailles claimed as a recantation. Upon this he was released in 1710.

The remainder were troops belonging to Egyptian units that included six battalions recruited in southern Sudan. An armed river flotilla escorted the force, which also had artillery support. In preparation for the attack, the British established an army headquarters at the former rail head Wadi Halfa and extended and reinforced the perimeter defenses around Sawakin.

Despite taking the time to reconstruct Ishma\u2018il Pasha's former gauge railway south along the east bank of the Nile, Kitchener captured the former capital of Nubia by September. The next year, the British then constructed a new rail line directly across the desert from Wadi Halfa to Abu Hamad, which they captured in the Battle of Abu Hamed on 7 August 1897. (The gauge, hastily adopted to make use of available rolling stock, meant supplies from the Egyptian network required transshipment via steamer from Asyut to Wadi Halfa. The Sudanese system retains the incompatible gauge to this day.)

In addition to standard examination under light microscopy, immunohistochemistry (IHC) is also generally required to differentiate MCC from other morphologically similar tumors such as small cell lung cancer, the small cell variant of melanoma, various cutaneous leukemic/lymphoid neoplasms, and Ewing's sarcoma. Similarly, most experts recommend longitudinal imaging of the chest, typically a CT scan, to rule out that the possibility that the skin lesion is a skin metastasis of an underlying small cell carcinoma of the lung.

Cr\u00e9tin was one of the few who volunteered and on 16 August 1838, he secretly left his parish, embarked at Le Havre with Bishop Loras, and landed in New York in October of the same year.

Only once, in 1847, did he absent himself, when he made a trip to Europe in the interest of his missions. In 1850 St. Paul, Minnesota became the seat of a new diocese.

Thus, it was only natural to assume that they would also display electrical activity. This important discovery, however, had not been made until that time, because many desynchronized electrical potentials with different polarities produce a cumulative global potential which is actually very small and difficult to detect with the sensitivity range of the measuring devices available at the time. Despite this, Marxow was able to prove for the first time that the peripheral stimulation of sensory organs, such as vision and hearing were able to provoke event-related small electrical potential swings on the surface of the cerebral cortex which was related to the projection of those senses. Strangely, however, Marxow did not publish his results, choosing instead to deposit them in a bank safe, with instructions to reveal them in 1883 only.

By 1978, a stable line-up consisting of Genser, Red Dress guitarist Richard Riggins, bassist Dag Midtskog, keyboard player Mark Wheaton and his brother Brock Wheaton on drums had been established. Chinas Comidas performances were highly influenced by Patti Smith and alternated between the band playing the Clash and Television influenced songs and Genser's recitals of radical feminist and highly political poetry. This concept often provoked resistance from the more traditional punk rock crowd, and staged violence would often occur during shows, even including brawls with members of other punk rock groups. The band shared the stage with other early Seattle underground acts like the Telepaths (and their follow-up band The Blackouts), the Tupperwares (who were later renamed to The Screamers and moved to San Francisco), the Beakers, and the aforementioned Red Dress.

The group never toured or played a show, but still had a small dedicated following. In 1997, Enemy You was formed and began rehearsing together. They were heavily inspired by Bad Religion and other melodic punk acts. After Enemy You began writing tunes together as a band they received interest from Ben Weasel and his fledgling label, Panic Button Records. Ben would often call Fat Wreck Chords, and heard about the band through Chris, who was the bassist for Enemy You, and an employee at Fat Wreck Chords. This led to their debut appearance on the four-way split dubbed Four On The Floor alongside Screeching Weasel, Teen Idols and Moral Crux. This was followed by their debut album Where No One Knows My Name in 1999. Based on the album's success the band was asked to open for a number of notable punk bands including Bouncing Souls, Lagwagon, Bad Religion, T.S.O.L., Mad Caddies, and NOFX. The band released a 7-inch on the Fat Club series on Fat Wreck Chords. They followed that with an 80's-themed seven inch EP that came out on Geykido Comet Records, titled \"Video to Radio.\" Geykido Comet Records re-released the EP in 2017, with all the proceeds going to suicide prevention. Around this time, guitarist, Ken Yamazaki, started to play guitar for the Hardcore punk band, Western Addiction. He still stayed with Enemy You, though. In 2005 the band released their second album, \"Stories Never Told\" on Red Scare Industries. David was friends with label owner, Toby Jeg, and the label also eventually re-released Where No One Knows My Name. Enemy You then signed with Nitro Records. Their third studio album, Fade Away was released as an iTunes Store exclusive on December 2, 2008, after being shelved for a few years.

This exhibition was shown at the Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 nationale des beaux-arts in 1895. In the same year, Bing opened a new gallery at 22 rue de Provence in Paris, the Maison de l'Art Nouveau, devoted to new works in both the fine and decorative arts. The interior and furniture of the gallery were designed by the Belgian architect Henry Van de Velde, one of the pioneers of Art Nouveau architecture. The Maison de l'Art Nouveau showed paintings by Georges Seurat, Paul Signac and Toulouse-Lautrec, glass from Louis Comfort Tiffany and Emile Gall\u00e9, jewellery by Ren\u00e9 Lalique, and posters by Aubrey Beardsley. The works shown there were not at all uniform in style. Bing wrote in 1902, \"Art Nouveau, at the time of its creation, did not aspire in any way to have the honor of becoming a generic term. It was simply the name of a house opened as a rallying point for all the young and ardent artists impatient to show the modernity of their tendencies.\"\n", "title": "Art Nouveau", "pid": "p_2626" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "Semashko rallied the men into a militia to protect the city from hooligans and fires when the Russian Imperial Army abandoned the city during the Great Retreat in mid 1915.", "indices": [ 205, 377 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": " In the early 1850s, the Russian army consisted of more than 900,000 regular soldiers and nearly 250,000 irregulars (mostly Cossacks).", "indices": [ 141, 275 ], "passage": "Imperial Russian Army" } ], "question_links": [ "Imperial Russian Army" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 227, "text": "more than 900,000 regular soldiers and nearly 250,000 irregulars", "passage": "imperial russian army", "end": 291 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "How many soldiers were there in the Russian Imperial Army?", "qid": "q_6178" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 30, 39 ], "target": "Kamianske" }, { "indices": [ 51, 77 ], "target": "1905 Russian Revolution" }, { "indices": [ 186, 195 ], "target": "\u0160nipi\u0161k\u0117s" }, { "indices": [ 299, 320 ], "target": "Imperial Russian Army" }, { "indices": [ 351, 364 ], "target": "Great Retreat (Russian)" }, { "indices": [ 395, 405 ], "target": "Fire chief" }, { "indices": [ 455, 463 ], "target": "Ober Ost" }, { "indices": [ 675, 717 ], "target": "Rada of the Belarusian Democratic Republic" }, { "indices": [ 793, 821 ], "target": "Belarusian People's Republic" }, { "indices": [ 894, 909 ], "target": "Adam Mickiewicz" }, { "indices": [ 914, 919 ], "target": "Minsk" }, { "indices": [ 979, 999 ], "target": "Council of Lithuania" }, { "indices": [ 1097, 1121 ], "target": "Grand Duchy of Lithuania" } ], "text": "He returned to the factory in Kamianske during the Russian Revolution of 1905.

Apparently, during the first plunder of Cetinje, after the Battle of Vrtijeljka, the forces of S\u00fcleyman Bushati did not gravely damage the monastery. Their idea was to pacify Montenegrins, and prevent them from aiding Venetian war effort. On the other hand, his army comprised a considerable amount of forcibly mobilised Christians, and he was afraid of mutiny. The popular tale has it that expeditionary force did start to rob the monastery, however, as one of the soldiers was trying to take down a cross from the top of the roof, he was struck by lightning, which was immediately perceived as Gods sign. In 1689, the Venetians were invited to take control of Cetinje. As they arrived, they quickly fortified themselves in the monastery and in the nearby former court of Crnojevi\u0107. It thus served as a garrison for three years, when Cetinje was attacked again by Suleyman on 25 September 1692. Instead of fighting, Venetians entered negotiations, and reached an agreement to abandon the monastery under honorable terms. However, they mined a monastery with a time bomb, which set of in the evening hours, right after Venetians retreated and as the Ottomans were victoriously entering the monastery, killing many of them in the process. This resulted in seat of Metropolitanate being moved to Dobrska \u0106elija monastery for some time. Vladika Danilo reestablished it, in 1701 or 1704, across the site of the first location, atop the remains of the court with stone from the old one, and added a tablet with the coat of arms of the Crnojevi\u0107 family, and a dedication to Ivan Crnojevi\u0107. Before 1714, it was burnt, and then it was reconstructed yet again around 1743 by Metropolitan Sava Petrovi\u0107 Njego\u0161. It was the center of spiritual, cultural and political life of the Prince-Bishopric of Montenegro. Its importance is clearly emphasised in Prince-Bishop Vasilije's exaggerated claim, written in his \"History of Montenegro\", that ... before its destruction, Cetinje Monastery was among the most beautiful monasteries in Europe. The last time monastery was devastated was in 1785, when Mahmud Pasha Bushati sacked Cetinje. Ultimately defeated in the Battle of Krusi, his severed head is since then kept as a relic in the monastery. It has been built on several times, the current appearance dates to 1927. The original site of the monastery, known as \u0106ipur (after Greek word \u039a\u03ae\u03c0\u03bf\u03c2 - Garden) was used in 1886 by Prince Nicholas of Montenegro for his Court church.

During his reign D\u00e1l Riata's power and influence grew; it carried out naval expeditions to Orkney and the Isle of Man, and assaults on the Brittonic kingdom of Strathclyde and Anglian kingdom of Bernicia. However, King \u00c6thelfrith of Bernicia checked its growth at the Battle of Degsastan in 603. Serious defeats in Ireland and Scotland during the reign of Domnall Brecc (died 642) ended D\u00e1l Riata's \"golden age\", and the kingdom became a client of Northumbria for a time. In the 730s the Pictish king \u00d3engus I led campaigns against D\u00e1l Riata and brought it under Pictish overlordship by 741. There is disagreement over the fate of the kingdom from the late 8th century onwards. Some scholars have seen no revival of D\u00e1l Riatan power after the long period of foreign domination ( to ), while others have seen a revival under \u00c1ed Find (736\u2013778). Some even claim that the D\u00e1l Riata usurped the kingship of Fortriu. From 795 onward there were sporadic Viking raids in D\u00e1l Riata. In the following century, there may have been a merger of the D\u00e1l Riatan and Pictish crowns. Some sources say Cin\u00e1ed mac Ailp\u00edn (Kenneth MacAlpin) was king of D\u00e1l Riata before becoming king of the Picts in 843, following a disastrous defeat of the Picts by Vikings.

Popular center, Arvydas Sabonis, who had a towel flung in his face by Rasheed Wallace during the playoffs, decided to leave the team.\n\nThe next two seasons were just as disastrous for the team's reputation. Several players, including Wallace, Stoudamire, and Qyntel Woods, were cited for marijuana possession. Woods pleaded guilty to first-degree animal abuse for staging dog fights in his house, some involving his pit bull named Hollywood. Hollywood and Woods' other pit bull, Sugar, were confiscated, and Woods was given eighty hours of community service. He also agreed to donate $10,000 to the Oregon Humane Society. Wallace was suspended for seven games for threatening a referee. Zach Randolph and Patterson got in a fight during practice, with Randolph sucker punching his teammate in the eye, an injury which kept Patterson from making a meaningful contribution during the playoffs. When police came to Stoudamire's house to respond to a burglar alarm, they noticed the smell of marijuana, searched the premises, and found a pound of cannabis located in a crawlspace; the search was later declared illegal and charges in the matter were dropped. Guard Bonzi Wells famously told Sports Illustrated in a 2002 interview: \"We\u2019re not really going to worry about what the hell (the fans) think about us. They really don\u2019t matter to us. They can boo us everyday, but they\u2019re still going to ask for our autographs if they see us on the street. That's why they\u2019re fans, and we\u2019re NBA players.\" Wells was fined $50,000 by the Blazers for the statement.\n\nFan discontent soared; despite the team continuing to post a winning record, attendance at the Rose Garden started to decline. In the summer of 2003, with attendance declining, the team going nowhere on the court, and an exorbitant payroll, Whitsitt announced that he would leave the team to focus on Paul Allen's other franchise, the Seattle Seahawks.\n\nTo replace Whitsitt, the team hired two men at new positions. John Nash, a veteran NBA executive, was hired as general manager, and Steve Patterson as team president. The new management promised a focus on character while remaining playoff contenders; the team soon published a \"25-Point Pledge\" to fans.

When Emperor Probus, the son of a gardener, rescinded the edict, a temple to Bacchus was erected, and the region started to produce a red, light, and fruity wine that contrasted with heavier Italian brews often fortified with resin and herbs. Later, churches owned vineyards and monks produced wine for use in the sacrament of Eucharist. French kings were traditionally anointed in Reims, and champagne was served as part of coronation festivities. The Champenois were envious of the reputation of the wines made by their Burgundian neighbours to the south and sought to produce wines of equal acclaim. However, the northerly climate of the region gave the Champenois a unique set of challenges in making red wine.

He discovered that the greatest danger came from enemy aircraft and from a lack of sleep, instanced by an occasion when he woke to discover that he was riding his motorcycle down an embankment into a minefield.

Roussimoff finally returned to action on April 26, 1991, in a six-man tag-team matchup when he teamed with the Rockers in a winning effort against Mr. Fuji and the Orient Express at a house show in Belfast, Northern Ireland. On May 10 he participated in a 17-man battle-royal at a house show in Detroit. (won by Kerry Von Erich) Making it his last WWF match. His last major WWF storyline following WrestleMania VII had the major heel managers (Bobby Heenan, Sensational Sherri, Slick, and Mr. Fuji) trying to recruit Roussimoff one-by-one, only to be turned down in various humiliating ways (e.g. Heenan had his hand crushed, Sherri received a spanking, Slick got locked in the trunk of the car he was offering to Roussimoff and Mr. Fuji got a pie in his face). Finally, Jimmy Hart appeared live on WWF Superstars to announce that he had successfully signed Roussimoff to tag-team with Earthquake. However, when asked to confirm this by Gene Okerlund, Roussimoff denied the claims. This led to Earthquake's attacking Roussimoff from behind (injuring his knee). Jimmy Hart would later get revenge for the humiliation by secretly signing Tugboat and forming the Natural Disasters. This led to Roussimoff's final major WWF appearance at SummerSlam '91, where he seconded the Bushwhackers in their match against the Disasters. Roussimoff was on crutches at ringside, and after the Disasters won the match, they set out to attack him, but the Legion of Doom made their way to ringside and got in between them and the Giant, who was preparing to defend himself with one of his crutches. The Disasters left the ringside area as they were outnumbered by the Legion of Doom, the Bushwhackers and Roussimoff, who struck both Earthquake and Typhoon (the former Tugboat) with the crutch as they left. His final WWF appearance came at a house show in Paris, France, on October 9. He was in Davey Boy Smith's corner as the Bulldog faced Earthquake.

Reitherman rejoined Disney in April 1947, where he animated the Headless Horseman chase in \"The Legend of Sleepy Hollow\" section in The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad (1949). Around this same time, he had claimed he was instrumental in helping Walt Disney commit to producing Cinderella (1950). Reitherman recalled, \"I just went in his office which I rarely did, and I said, 'Gee, that looks great. We ought to do do it.' It might have been a little nudge to say, 'Hey, let's get going again and let's do a feature'.\" On Cinderella, he was the directing animator of the sequence in which Jaq and Gus laboriously push and pull the key up the stairs to Cinderella. On Alice in Wonderland (1951), he animated the scene in which the White Rabbit's home is destroyed by an enlarged Alice. On Peter Pan (1953), he animated the scene of Captain Hook attempting to escape the crocodile.

There he improved the orchestra and began providing incidental music for the theatre's lavish productions, starting with Richard III in 1889. This music was well received (The Times called for a concert suite to be arranged), and the overture soon became popular in concert halls.

Within a year, sheet music of the dance numbers from the play's score had sold 30,000 copies. German was by then in great demand to write music for plays.

Born in Venice to a family of musicians and operatic personnel, he pursued a career mainly as a singer until 1724, when he traveled to Bohemia as a member of the opera company of Antonio Maria Peruzzi, probably his uncle. Peruzzi had the idea of bringing an Italian opera company to central Europe to perform first in Prague, then Dresden and Leipzig. The company was first brought to Bohemia under the patronage of Count Franz Anton von Sporck, who had it play at his palace at Kuks in northwest Bohemia in the summer of 1724. The performances were so successful that he permitted the company to perform free of charge in his palace in Prague. After disagreements with Peruzzi, Denzio was able to supplant him as impresario before the end of the year 1724 and continued productions in the Sporck palace until 1735. Peruzzi left with some of the Peruzzi-Denzio players to found the Breslau Opera. Denzio's opera theater at Sporck's palace was the first standing opera theater in the city. His productions were popular with the Bohemian nobility until about 1729, after which Denzio's finances deteriorated. Count Sporck provided no financial assistance to the company except the free use of his theater, and he allowed it to fail. The company went bankrupt and Denzio was forced to spend time in debtors' prison. During its heyday, Denzio was able to attract at least one of the principal singing stars in Italy to Prague each season. The most prominent of all was Margherita Gualandi, who was forced to come to Prague after being blackballed in Italy for bad behavior. Denzio sought the assistance of Antonio Vivaldi in engaging singers for his company, and the composer sent music. In the early 1730s, Vivaldi came himself to Prague.

Hogan and Savage first crossed paths on the Saturday Night's Main Event XII. Savage got a shot at The Honky Tonk Man's Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship but was attacked by The Hart Foundation; Hogan came to Savage's rescue, thus solidifying Savage's face turn. At WrestleMania IV, Savage defeated \"Million Dollar Man\" Ted DiBiase in a tournament final to win the vacant WWF World Heavyweight Championship with help from Hogan and Hogan soon after came into the ring to congratulate Savage. Soon after, the duo formed a tag team known as The Mega Powers. They feuded with many heel tag teams throughout the entire year and were a successful team. Mega Powers ruled and dominated the WWF for several months. However, their domination and tag team began to break up in early 1989 as tensions slowly began to build between the two. This all began on the Saturday Night's Main Event XIX, when Hogan was mercilessly beaten by The Twin Towers after his match with Akeem. Savage came out and cleared the ring with a steel chair. Elizabeth took Hogan to the backstage which angered Savage. He thought that he was the third wheel, and this was the beginning of the breakup of Mega Powers, as Savage was angry that his wife Miss Elizabeth was used by Hogan as his manager. He confronted her about the issue but she took Hogan to the backstage. Problems increased further in the Royal Rumble match where Hogan accidentally eliminated Savage as he was trying to eliminate Bad News Brown. On February 3 at The Main Event II, Hogan and Savage faced The Twin Towers (Akeem and The Big Boss Man) in a tag team match that would set up the Mega Powers' breakup. During a key point in the match, Savage was thrown out of the ring onto Elizabeth, knocking her unconscious. Hogan carried her to the back, leaving Savage to fend for himself in the ring against the much larger Akeem and Big Bossman; Hogan eventually returned, but Savage slapped him in the face and took the belt in his hand and turned heel by abandoning Hogan. Despite this, Hogan managed to pick up the win. After Savage attacked Hogan in the medical area of the arena (to seal Savage's heel turn), Hogan challenged Savage to a match for the WWF World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania, which Savage accepted.\n", "title": "WrestleMania V", "pid": "p_2751" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "A central scene in the 2004 biopic Ray features the improvisation of the song performed by Jamie Foxx", "indices": [ 540, 641 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "A central scene in the 2004 biopic Ray features the improvisation of the song performed by Jamie Foxx", "indices": [ 540, 641 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Eric Marlon Bishop (born December 13, 1967)", "indices": [ 0, 43 ], "passage": "Jamie Foxx" } ], "question_links": [ "Jamie Foxx" ], "answer": { "answer_value": "37", "answer_unit": "years", "type": "value" }, "question": "What age was Jamie Foxx when he played his role in the movie Ray?", "qid": "q_6436" }, { "context": [ { "text": "The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame featured it as one of 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll in 2007.", "indices": [ 837, 932 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame featured it as one of 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll in 2007.", "indices": [ 837, 932 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Library of Congress" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "How many titles were in the Library of Congress the year the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame featured \"What'd I Say\" as one of the 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll?", "qid": "q_6437" }, { "context": [ { "text": "A central scene in the 2004 biopic Ray features the improvisation of the song performed by Jamie Foxx", "indices": [ 540, 641 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "A central scene in the 2004 biopic Ray", "indices": [ 540, 578 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Rolling Stone is an American monthly magazine that focuses on popular culture.

Soon after Swansea attempted to buy Goodfellow off City, however, City manager Brian Tinnion informed Goodfellow he still had a future at the club. Tinnion was expecting at least what they paid Stoke for him and Swansea were unable to comply.

Proportionalism asserts that one can determine the right course of action by weighing up the good and the necessary evil caused by the action. As a result, proportionalism aims to choose the lesser of evils.

His parents were Marie Josefine/Mirjam (Hasiba) and Hungarian Jewish G\u00e1bor Steiner (1858\u20131944, born in Temesv\u00e1r, Kingdom of Hungary, Austrian Empire), a Viennese impresario, carnival exposition manager, and inventor, responsible for building the Wiener Riesenrad. His father encouraged Steiner's musical talent, and allowed him to conduct an American operetta at the age of twelve, The Belle of New York which allowed Steiner to gain early recognition by the operetta's author, Gustave Kerker. Steiner's mother Marie was a dancer in stage productions put on by his grandfather when she was young, but later became involved in the restaurant business. His godfather was the composer Richard Strauss who strongly influenced Steiner's future work. Steiner often credited his family for inspiring his early musical abilities. As early as six years old, Steiner was taking three or four piano lessons a week, yet often became bored of the lessons. Because of this, he would practice improvising on his own, his father encouraging him to write his music down. Steiner cited his early improvisation as an influence of his taste in music, particularly his interest in the music of Claude Debussy which was \"avant garde\" for the time.

Bachata #1's, Vol. 2 was released on August 12, 2008. \"Mi Corazoncito\", written by Anthony \"Romeo\" Santos and performed by Aventura, was released as the third and final single from the group's second live album, K.O.B. Live (2006). The song peaked at number fifteen on the Billboard Latin Pop Songs and number two on the Billboard Latin Songs charts, topping both the Billboard Tropical Songs and Billboard Latin Rhythm Songs charts, while an additional live version peaked at number ten on the Billboard Tropical Songs chart. The bachata-infused-R&B number, has been named one of their biggest hits along with \"Los Infieles\", \"Un Beso\", and \"El Perdedor\" among others. Xtreme's \"Mientes\" is originally from the duo's second studio album Haciendo Historia (2006), which also featured the gorup's R&B-leaning hit single \"Shorty, Shorty\". Puerto Rican Latin pop singer Luis Fonsi performs \"Con Las Manos Vac\u00edas\", a track exclusive to this release. \"Tengo Un Amor\" was written by Toby Love with additional composition by Edwin Perez who also handled production for the song. The song was written with Spanglish lyrics combining crunk hip hop with bachata. David Jefferies, while reviewing the parent album, called the song \"an incredibly smooth, lush, and glittery ballad\" while listing the song as a selected \"Allmusic Pick\". According to Billboard, the original version of the song is a \"straightforward bachata song\" while the remix, which is included on this release, with R.K.M & Ken-Y, known then as Rakim & Ken-Y provides \"urban street cred\".\n", "title": "Bachata Number 1's, Vol. 2", "pid": "p_2790" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "Tony met Deep Purple in the early 1970s, when the last recording of Ashton, Gardner and Dyke was a collaboration with keyboardist Jon Lord on the soundtrack for a b-movie called The Last Rebel.", "indices": [ 0, 193 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Deep Purple are an English rock band formed in Hertford in 1968", "indices": [ 0, 63 ], "passage": "Deep Purple" } ], "question_links": [ "Deep Purple" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 84, "text": "1968", "passage": "deep purple", "end": 88 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "What year was Deep Purple founded?", "qid": "q_6531" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 9, 20 ], "target": "Deep Purple" }, { "indices": [ 118, 129 ], "target": "Keyboardist" }, { "indices": [ 130, 138 ], "target": "Jon Lord" }, { "indices": [ 262, 274 ], "target": "Gemini Suite" }, { "indices": [ 317, 323 ], "target": "Family (band)" }, { "indices": [ 378, 393 ], "target": "David Coverdale" }, { "indices": [ 459, 466 ], "target": "Windows (Jon Lord album)" }, { "indices": [ 628, 650 ], "target": "First of the Big Bands" }, { "indices": [ 696, 712 ], "target": "London Palladium" }, { "indices": [ 735, 738 ], "target": "BBC" }, { "indices": [ 774, 798 ], "target": "Golders Green Hippodrome" }, { "indices": [ 895, 908 ], "target": "Hammond organ" }, { "indices": [ 950, 962 ], "target": "Roger Glover" }, { "indices": [ 1044, 1051 ], "target": "Zermatt" } ], "text": "Tony met Deep Purple in the early 1970s, when the last recording of Ashton, Gardner and Dyke was a collaboration with keyboardist Jon Lord on the soundtrack for a b-movie called The Last Rebel.

In 1776, Khariton Chebotaryov became an extraordinary professor at the Russian Literature Department, simultaneously remaining a philosophy and world history teacher at the gymnasium. Upon the death of Professor Johann Gottfried Reichel, Chebotaryov delivered lectures on European history and Russian literature at the gymnasium.

By this point, Mother series creator Shigesato Itoi had worked on the series' earlier games and Itoi Shigesato no Bass Tsuri No. 1 and was experienced at pitching video games, so Miyamoto provided a team willingly. The Mother 2 development team carried over to the new game's development, though several people left and the team grew in size. They forewent the usual prototyping phase and went straight into development expecting to create something unprecedented. Itoi said he wanted to make the game like a Hollywood film. In September 1994, he predicted that Mother 3 development would end around 1996 with a release on Nintendo's then-upcoming console. The team was inspired by Super Mario 64 and felt that they too could creatively flourish by making a 3D world without restrictions. Their early technical specifications exceeded the capabilities and memory limits of the platform. About halfway through development, the team attempted to scale back its large scope and changed its development platform to the 64DD, a Nintendo 64 expansion peripheral. At E3 in June 1997, Miyamoto speculated that Mother 3 would be one of the four titles for the then-expected 1998 launch of the Japan-only peripheral, but the game was instead converted to a Nintendo 64 cartridge-only format upon the commercial failure of the repeatedly delayed 64DD.\n", "title": "Development of Mother 3", "pid": "p_2811" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "In October 1987, the American Soccer League announced that it had awarded a franchise to Joe Robbie", "indices": [ 0, 99 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "\n\nJoseph Robbie (July 7, 1916 \u2013 January 7, 1990)", "indices": [ -2, 46 ], "passage": "Joe Robbie" } ], "question_links": [ "Joe Robbie" ], "answer": { "answer_value": "74", "answer_unit": "years", "type": "value" }, "question": "How old was the person who was awarded an American Soccer League franchise in 1987 when he died?", "qid": "q_6585" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 21, 43 ], "target": "American Soccer League (1933\u201383)" }, { "indices": [ 89, 99 ], "target": "Joe Robbie" }, { "indices": [ 126, 150 ], "target": "Fort Lauderdale, Florida" }, { "indices": [ 174, 192 ], "target": "Minnesota Strikers" }, { "indices": [ 200, 226 ], "target": "Major Indoor Soccer League (1978\u201392)" }, { "indices": [ 312, 324 ], "target": "Wim Suurbier" }, { "indices": [ 380, 396 ], "target": "Lockhart Stadium" }, { "indices": [ 523, 543 ], "target": "Washington Diplomats (1988\u201390)" }, { "indices": [ 685, 698 ], "target": "Thomas Rongen" }, { "indices": [ 813, 825 ], "target": "Boston Bolts" }, { "indices": [ 881, 918 ], "target": "1989 National Pro Soccer Championship" }, { "indices": [ 1002, 1030 ], "target": "North American Soccer League" }, { "indices": [ 1088, 1104 ], "target": "San Diego Nomads" }, { "indices": [ 1112, 1133 ], "target": "Western Soccer Alliance" }, { "indices": [ 1219, 1254 ], "target": "American Professional Soccer League" }, { "indices": [ 1352, 1383 ], "target": "Pompano Beach Municipal Stadium" }, { "indices": [ 1424, 1434 ], "target": "Boca Raton, Florida" }, { "indices": [ 1446, 1466 ], "target": "Broward County Public Schools" }, { "indices": [ 1557, 1570 ], "target": "Orlando Lions" } ], "text": "In October 1987, the American Soccer League announced that it had awarded a franchise to Joe Robbie which would be located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

To archive uncompressed footage and access it on-demand during the shows' production, the tour staff used an EMC VNXe3200 portable flash storage unit worth about US$25,000. It was configured with 22.9 TB of storage but was expandable up to 450 TB. After each show, tour staff used an EMC Data Domain 2500 system to back up footage. With storage up to 6.6 petabytes and an hourly throughput of 13.4 TB, the Data Domain system could complete a nightly backup before the crew disassembled the stage. On previous tours, U2 relied on USB flash drives for storage. Video imagery was loaded onto the set's video screens with two d3 Technologies d3 4\u00d74 media servers. Due to the need to load video on the fly, all storage was locally networked, as a cloud storage configuration would have increased latency.

By climbing 156 steps to the summit of the principal tower, one gains a panoramic view of the city and surrounding countryside. The building's general plan is that of a streamlined Latin cross, with slight gabled projections near the rear forming the crosspieces. Three entrances pierce the facade, while lancet windows of similar height are placed at varying locations in the towers, and two-story windows fill the side bays. Widest and tallest are the windows placed in the rear-side projections and above the entrances on the facade. Both towers are topped with pointed roofs, surrounded by ornamental pointed roofs of far smaller sizes, while the roof of the main part of the church is a steep gable. Despite extensive Gothic Revival detailing, such as the pointed-arch windows and doorways, the building also retains some elements of the Romanesque Revival style, including the false buttresses and columns around the main entrance, as well as the sheer massing of both towers. By the time that the building was complete, parishioners had spent $75,000 on construction and ancillary costs. The architect for St. Raphael's was Charles A. Cregar, first among architects native to Springfield.

On May 1, 1969, the day after the Reds' Jim Maloney no-hit the Astros 10\u20130 at Crosley Field for his second career no-hitter, Wilson returned the favor and no-hit the Reds 4\u20130 for his second career no-hitter. (Audio) The back-to-back no-hit feat was only the second in MLB history, the first having been accomplished in September of just the year before by Gaylord Perry and Ray Washburn. This second no-hitter was vengeance for Wilson: in his previous start against the Reds nine days earlier, he had given up seven runs in five innings and was the losing pitcher in the Reds' 14\u20130 drubbing of the Astros at the Astrodome. That year, the Astros finished .500 (81-81) for the first time in club history, and Wilson struck out 235 batters (his career best) in 225 innings in fashioning a 16\u201312 record. That season, the Astros set what was then a big-league record for strikeouts in a season by a pitching staff. Two other Houston starters, Larry Dierker and Tom Griffin, also struck out at least 200 batters that season, with Dierker's 232 in 305 innings leading the way. The 1971 season saw Wilson make the National League All-Star Team as well as earn Astros MVP honors.

Traditionally, Estonia has been seen as an area of rivalry between western and eastern Europe on many levels.

The symbolism of the border or meeting of east and west in Estonia was well illustrated on the reverse side of the 5 krooni note.

The earlier conflict was marked by the efforts of John IV, Duke of Brittany to secure control of the Duchy of Brittany against his rival Charles of Blois. John was supported in this struggle by the armies of the kingdom of England, whereas Charles was supported by the kingdom of France. At the head of an English army, John prevailed after Charles was killed in battle in 1364, but the French continued to undermine his position, and he was later forced into exile in England. He returned to Brittany in 1379, supported by Breton barons who feared the annexation of Brittany by France. An English army was sent under Woodstock to support his position. Due to concerns about the safety of a longer shipping route to Brittany itself, the army was ferried instead to the English continental stronghold of Calais in July 1380. As Woodstock marched his 5,200 men east of Paris, they were confronted by the army of Philip the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, at Troyes, but the French had learned from the Battle of Cr\u00e9cy in 1346 and the Battle of Poitiers in 1356 not to offer a pitched battle to the English. Eventually, the two armies simply marched away. French defensive operations were then thrown into disarray by the death of King Charles V of France on 16 September 1380. Woodstock's chevauch\u00e9e continued westwards largely unopposed, and in November 1380 he laid siege to Nantes and its vital bridge over the Loire towards Aquitaine. However, he found himself unable to form an effective stranglehold, and urgent plans were put in place for Sir Thomas Felton to bring 2,000 reinforcements from England.

In 1927, the first quartz clock was built by Warren Marrison and J.\u00a0W. Horton at Bell Telephone Laboratories. The next 3 decades saw the development of quartz clocks as precision time standards in laboratory settings; the bulky delicate counting electronics, built with vacuum tubes, limited their use elsewhere. In 1932 a quartz clock was able to measure tiny variations in the rotation rate of the Earth over periods as short as a few weeks. In Japan in 1932, Issac Koga developed a crystal cut that gave an oscillation frequency with greatly reduced temperature dependence. The National Bureau of Standards (now NIST) based the time standard of the US on quartz clocks between the 1930s and the 1960s, after which it transitioned to atomic clocks. The wider use of quartz clock technology had to await the development of cheap semiconductor digital logic in the 1960s.

He played in his first career NHL game on October 5, 2007, a 4\u20131 loss to the Dallas Stars, in which he fought opposing forward Brad Winchester. His first goal came a week later on October 12 against Jonathan Bernier, a game winner, in an 8\u20136 win against the Los Angeles Kings.

Unsure of whether the Bruins would keep him or return him to junior, he stayed in a downtown hotel in Boston to start the season. However, Lucic made enough of an impression during his first set of games with the Bruins, showing grit and consistent willingness to fight (he recorded 13 fighting majors in his rookie season), that they decided to keep him in the lineup. Bruins management informed the Giants prior to Lucic's tenth game, accounting for the NHL's nine-game maximum for junior-eligible players to stay with their NHL club without initiating their contract. He was chosen to participate in the 2008 NHL YoungStars Game and finished his rookie campaign with eight goals and 27 points. Towards the end of the season, he was voted by Bruins fans for the team's Seventh Player Award for exceeding expectations. Matched up against the first-seeded Montreal Canadiens in the opening round, Lucic scored his first Stanley Cup playoff goal in Game 3 on April 13, 2008.

Overall, Burton pitched a combined 53.2 innings in 15 games in 2004. Burton spent the 2005 season with the Stockton Ports, another Oakland Single-A affiliate and went 4\u20134 with a 2.60 ERA. The 2006 season would turn out to be Burton's final year in Oakland's farm system, and Burton spent it with the Midland RockHounds. With the RockHounds he had a 6\u20135 record and a 4.14 ERA in a then career high 53 appearances.\n", "title": "Jared Burton", "pid": "p_2916" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "The right to marry a person of a different race was addressed in Loving v.

The unconstitutionality of bans on and refusals to recognize same-sex marriage was decided partly on substantive due process grounds by Obergefell v. Hodges in 2015. A right to have children was addressed in Skinner v. Oklahoma, but the Court in Skinner, in 1942, explicitly declined to base its decision on due process but instead cited the Equal Protection Clause since the Oklahoma law required sterilization of some three-time felons but not others. A substantive due process right of a parent to educate a young child (before ninth grade) in a foreign language was recognized in Meyer v. Nebraska, in 1923, with two justices dissenting, and Justice Kennedy has mentioned that Meyer might be decided on different grounds in modern times. Laws that \"shock the conscience\" of the Court were generally deemed unconstitutional, in 1952, in Rochin v. California, but in concurring, Justices Black and Douglas argued that pumping a defendant's stomach for evidence should have been deemed unconstitutional on the narrower ground that it violates the Fifth Amendment's right against self-incrimination. The Court, in O'Connor v. Donaldson, in 1975, said that due process is violated by confining a nondangerous mentally ill person who is capable of surviving safely in freedom. Chief Justice Burger's concurring opinion was that such confinement may also amount to \"punishment\" for being mentally ill, violating the Court's interpretation of the Eighth Amendment in Robinson v. California. Freedom from excessive punitive damages was deemed to be a due process right in BMW v. Gore, in 1996, but four justices disagreed. The Court, in Cruzan v. Missouri, decided, in 1990, that due process is not violated if a state applies \"a clear and convincing evidence standard in proceedings where a guardian seeks to discontinue nutrition and hydration of a person diagnosed to be in a persistent vegetative state\".\n", "title": "Substantive due process", "pid": "p_2917" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "In addition, the Pleistocene megafauna became extinct due to environmental and evolutionary pressures", "indices": [ 567, 668 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Any cause that reduces reproductive success in a portion of a population potentially exerts evolutionary pressure, selective pressure or selection pressure, driving natural selection.", "indices": [ 0, 183 ], "passage": "Evolutionary pressure" } ], "question_links": [ "Evolutionary pressure" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "What was the main evolutionary pressure?", "qid": "q_6836" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 146, 153 ], "target": "Ice age" }, { "indices": [ 194, 204 ], "target": "Sea level" }, { "indices": [ 232, 251 ], "target": "Sea level rise" }, { "indices": [ 486, 497 ], "target": "Older Dryas" }, { "indices": [ 506, 531 ], "target": "Holocene climatic optimum" }, { "indices": [ 584, 605 ], "target": "Pleistocene megafauna" }, { "indices": [ 646, 668 ], "target": "Evolutionary pressure" }, { "indices": [ 723, 750 ], "target": "Quaternary extinction event" }, { "indices": [ 792, 801 ], "target": "Holocene extinction" }, { "indices": [ 897, 908 ], "target": "Pleistocene" }, { "indices": [ 910, 921 ], "target": "Paleolithic" }, { "indices": [ 923, 932 ], "target": "Stone Age" }, { "indices": [ 934, 951 ], "target": "Last Glacial Period" } ], "text": "The time from roughly 15,000 to 5,000 BC was a time of transition, and swift and extensive environmental change, as the planet was moving from an Ice age, towards an interstadial (warm period).

From 1625 to 1626, he took part in suppression of the Georgian opposition: he commanded a right flank at the victorious Battle of Marabda and saved part of the Persian troops from a complete disaster at the Battle of Ksani. In 1626, Khosro Mirza was recalled from Georgia and appointed the commander of the Shah's \u00e9lite gholam corps (qollar-aghasi) three years later. In 1629, Abbas, lying on a deathbed, urged him to protect a grandson and heir Sam Mirza, the future Shah Safi, whom Khosro served faithfully. In 1630, he led a Persian army which defeated the Ottoman forces and captured Baghdad. In the early 1630s, he took part in sidelining and destruction of the Undiladze family, also of Georgian origin, who had dominated the Safavid court for years. Afterwards, he was sent to suppress the opposition of Georgians who had managed to unite the eastern regions of Kartli and Kakheti under Teimuraz I for a brief period of 1630-1633. Teimuraz was joined by a surviving Undiladze, Daud Khan. For his loyalty, Shah Safi appointed him as the new vali of Kartli, and granted him the name of Rostam Khan (Rostom, \u10e0\u10dd\u10e1\u10e2\u10dd\u10db\u10d8, in Georgian transliteration). Rostom then came to Georgia with a large Persian army commanded by his fellow Georgian Rustam Khan. He soon took control of Kartli and garrisoned all major fortresses with Persian forces, bringing them, however, under his tight control. His willingness to cooperate with his suzerain won for Kartli a larger degree of autonomy. A period of relative peace and prosperity ensued, with the cities and towns being revived, many deserted areas repopulated and commerce flourished. Although Muslim, Rostom helped to restore a major Georgian Orthodox cathedral of Living Pillar (Svetitskhoveli) at Mtskheta, and patronised Christian culture. However, Islam and Persian habits predominated at his court. He ruthlessly crushed an opposition of local nobles, putting to death the catholicos Eudemus I of Georgia, and invaded, in 1648, Kakheti, forcing Teimuraz to flee to Imereti (western Georgia).\n", "title": "Rostom of Kartli", "pid": "p_2925" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "Gradually Clayburgh shifted into being more of a supporting character actress in the 90s, taking on roles as diverse as an antagonistic judge in Trial: The Price of Passion (1992) and the interfering wife of Alan Alda's character in Whispers in the Dark (1992).", "indices": [ 0, 261 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "He made his Hollywood acting debut as a supporting player in Gone are the Days! \u2013 a film version of the Broadway play Purlie Victorious,", "indices": [ 3386, 3522 ], "passage": "Alan Alda" } ], "question_links": [ "Alan Alda" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 3470, "text": "Gone are the Days!", "passage": "alan alda", "end": 3488 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "What was the first film for the actor who Clayburgh played the interfering wife of in 1992?

The missionaries encountered resistance from the Tongva to their attempts to resettle the Natives on the mission. The mission encountered further trouble in 1776 when a flood damaged the mission, convincing the missionaries to move and rebuild the mission on a higher and more defensible location: its present site in San Gabriel. The first Spanish governor of Las Californias, Felipe de Neve had, as well, recommended to Viceroy Bucareli Father Cresp\u00ed's location on the R\u00edo Porci\u00fancula (Los Angeles River) for a mission. Instead, in 1781, King Charles III mandated that a pueblo be built on the site instead, which would be the second town in Alta California, after San Jos\u00e9 de Guadalupe in 1777. The monarch, disregarding the production and trade roles of the missions, saw a greater need for secular pueblos to be established as the centers of agriculture and commerce to supply the crown's ever-growing military presence in \"Nueva California.\" The priests at the missions ignored the royal mandate and continued their ranching, trading and production of tallow, soap, hides, and beef, often in competition with new pueblo ventures.\n", "title": "Pueblo de Los \u00c1ngeles", "pid": "p_2951" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "In 1985, Jones released his second studio album, Dream into Action,", "indices": [ 0, 67 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Dream into Action" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "How many songs were on Jones' second studio album?", "qid": "q_6912" }, { "context": [ { "text": "One of the album's tracks, \"No One Is to Blame\", was later re-recorded, featuring Phil Collins as drummer and producer, and performing backing vocals.", "indices": [ 348, 498 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Phil Collins and Hugh Padgham produced the re-recording, with Collins adding his own drum work and mood.

Carroll went to school in New York City (NYC) and enrolled in the Phoenix School of Design at age 17. He later attended Hartford Art School and became a commissioned portraitist for 10 years. His work, Church Window was recognized in the New York Times, and he moved away from portraits to recreate scenes that sparked memories of his childhood. He was most influenced by Andrew Wyeth and Edward Hopper. The Coe-Kerr Gallery of NYC and Whistler's Daughter Gallery of New Jersey represented him, as well as contemporaries Wyeth and Hopper. Malcolm Forbes, Frederick R. Koch, Stephen Sondheim, William Schuman, and Jean Shepherd held private collections of his work. He exhibited at Newark Museum and Trenton Art Museum in New Jersey, and in universities, galleries and museums in seven states by his mid-thirties.

His quiet social life often involved simply sitting in the lobby of the Hotel Hartford, and chatting with those that approached him. He died in Hartford City of chronic myocarditis at the age of 80 on April 8, 1940. His death was front-page news in the local newspapers, and the paper mill shut down for a half day. Some of the citizens of Hartford City attended Stevens\u2019 funeral 260 miles away in Akron \u2013 and were surprised to learn that Stevens was a black man that had been living as a white man in an all-white town. Given the Ku Klux Klan activities in Hartford City during the 1920s (all other blacks left town during that time), perhaps Stevens felt his masquerade was necessary. Black or white, Hartford City was fortunate to have George Stevens as a member of the community.\n", "title": "History of Hartford City, Indiana", "pid": "p_2968" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "A youth team player at Hednesford Town, he turned professional at Blackburn Rovers in 2000.", "indices": [ 0, 91 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Blackburn Rovers Football Club is a professional football club ", "indices": [ 0, 63 ], "passage": "Blackburn Rovers F.C." } ], "question_links": [ "Blackburn Rovers F.C." ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 84, "text": "football ", "passage": "blackburn rovers f.c.", "end": 93 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "What sport did Richards turn professional in 2000?", "qid": "q_6944" }, { "context": [ { "text": "He then spent much of the 2002\u201303 season on loan at Swansea City", "indices": [ 183, 247 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "though was sent out on loan to Rochdale in the latter half of the 2004\u201305 campaign after he found himself struggling with injury", "indices": [ 360, 488 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Swansea City A.F.C.", "Rochdale A.F.C." ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "Did Richards play more games for the team he was on loan for in 2002-03 or in 2004-05?", "qid": "q_6945" }, { "context": [ { "text": "He joined Barnsley in August 2005, and went on to score twelve goals in 2005\u201306, helping the club win promotion to the Championship via the play-offs.", "indices": [ 490, 640 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Barnsley F.C.", "EFL Championship" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "How many games did Richards play for the team that own the Championship in 2006?", "qid": "q_6946" }, { "context": [ { "text": "He signed with Swindon Town in January 2018 and after one-and-a-half seasons with Swindon moved on to Cambridge United in August 2019.", "indices": [ 1239, 1373 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Swindon Town F.C." ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "What position did Richards play for the team he was on in 2018?", "qid": "q_6947" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 23, 38 ], "target": "Hednesford Town F.C." }, { "indices": [ 66, 82 ], "target": "Blackburn Rovers F.C." }, { "indices": [ 131, 146 ], "target": "Crewe Alexandra F.C." }, { "indices": [ 148, 163 ], "target": "Oldham Athletic A.F.C." }, { "indices": [ 169, 181 ], "target": "Halifax Town A.F.C." }, { "indices": [ 235, 247 ], "target": "Swansea City A.F.C." }, { "indices": [ 279, 295 ], "target": "Northampton Town F.C." }, { "indices": [ 391, 399 ], "target": "Rochdale A.F.C." }, { "indices": [ 500, 508 ], "target": "Barnsley F.C." }, { "indices": [ 609, 621 ], "target": "EFL Championship" }, { "indices": [ 630, 639 ], "target": "2006 Football League One play-off Final" }, { "indices": [ 699, 708 ], "target": "Port Vale F.C." }, { "indices": [ 974, 984 ], "target": "2014 Football League Trophy Final" }, { "indices": [ 992, 1005 ], "target": "EFL Trophy" }, { "indices": [ 1038, 1048 ], "target": "EFL League Two" }, { "indices": [ 1082, 1098 ], "target": "Northampton Town F.C." }, { "indices": [ 1254, 1266 ], "target": "Swindon Town F.C." } ], "text": "A youth team player at Hednesford Town, he turned professional at Blackburn Rovers in 2000.

The name Schlo\u00dfb\u00f6ckelheim first cropped up only in the 17th century. In the 19th century, the name Thalb\u00f6ckelheim first came to light. On 1 November 1910, municipal council agreed to introduce Schlo\u00dfb\u00f6ckelheim as the municipality's name. The name Talb\u00f6ckelheim seems to have had its spelling changed in line with the spelling reforms over the years; it is now written without the first H, but the name Schlo\u00dfb\u00f6ckelheim itself has not been changed in the wake of the German orthography reform of 1996; the \u00df has not been changed to SS. The three prefixes that serve to distinguish the three centres whose names are otherwise the same are all standard German words with well understood meanings: Wald (\u201cforest\u201d); Schlo\u00df (or Schloss in up-to-date spelling; \u201ccastle/palace\u201d); Tal (\u201cdale/valley\u201d). The village chronicle has this to say about the village's name:Until the beginning of the last century (meant here is the 19th century) the village was named after the castle Schlo\u00dfb\u00f6ckelheim, which still existed in the 17th century. The castle was destroyed by the French in 1688. The village of Thalb\u00f6ckelheim consists of the two constituent centres of Thalb\u00f6ckelheim and Schlo\u00dfb\u00f6ckelheim: Schlo\u00dfb\u00f6ckelheim with the ruin of Castle B\u00f6ckelheim lies on the mountainside and the constituent centre of Thalb\u00f6ckelheim lies 0.5\u00a0km away down in the dale. Both constituent centres have roughly the same population figure. The village\u2019s name was changed in quite a peculiar way. In the early part of the last century, in response to an inquiry by the authorities as to what the village was called, because it consisted of two constituent centres, the name Thalb\u00f6ckelheim was given by the then Sch\u00f6ffe (roughly \u201clay jurist\u201d). The Sch\u00f6ffe lived in the constituent centre of Thalb\u00f6ckelheim and a certain selfishness on his part made him want to call the village Thalb\u00f6ckelheim, without regard to the historical importance of the constituent centre of Schlo\u00dfb\u00f6ckelheim. None of the locally customary rural cadastral names had to do with the name Thalb\u00f6ckelheim, but rather they were named after Schlo\u00dfb\u00f6ckelheim, like Schlo\u00dfb\u00f6ckelheimer M\u00fchlberg, Schlo\u00dfb\u00f6ckelheimer Felsenberg, Schlo\u00dfb\u00f6ckelheimer Kupfergrube and so on. Wines had earned quite an important reputation as Schlo\u00dfb\u00f6ckelheimer in the wine trade, whereas Thalb\u00f6ckelheim never cropped up in the wine trade. Municipal council asked on these grounds to have the historical name Schlo\u00dfb\u00f6ckelheim reinstated, as it was already well known throughout Germany for Emperor Heinrich IV\u2019s imprisonment at Castle B\u00f6ckelheim (1105).Also given as grounds for the reversion to the older name was the name's recognizability in winegrowing and the wine trade. A decree made on 22 April 1911 approved the municipality's application. Since this time, the two constituent centres of Thalb\u00f6ckelheim and Schlo\u00dfb\u00f6ckelheim have been united under the collective name \u201cSchlo\u00dfb\u00f6ckelheim\u201d. Among the places in the middle Naheraum (regions flanking the Nahe), Schlo\u00dfb\u00f6ckelheim belongs among those places that were already often being mentioned in the Middle Ages. Castle B\u00f6ckelheim, built on what was to become Schlo\u00dfb\u00f6ckelheim's municipal area, was among the oldest in the region. Generally regarded as the village's first documentary mention is a document from 16 February 824. Late in 1105, Emperor Heinrich V, the last of the Salian dynasty, had his father, Emperor Heinrich IV taken prisoner in Ingelheim and then brought to Castle B\u00f6ckelheim to be held prisoner there. In 1688, the Nine Years' War (known in Germany as the Pf\u00e4lzischer Erbfolgekrieg, or War of the Palatine Succession) broke out. That year, the castle was destroyed on French orders.\n", "title": "Schlo\u00dfb\u00f6ckelheim", "pid": "p_2989" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "In 2002 she made her first appearance at the National Moravian-Silesian Theatre", "indices": [ 161, 240 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "The National Moravian-Silesian Theatre (; NDM) is a professional theatre company based in Ostrava in the Czech Republic.

When he was caught the authorities took the shipment and his money, stranding him in Dakar. To gain enough money to get back to the UK, he worked in a casino.

One of the packages delivered by Bateman was a bomb that exploded at a British Embassy, killing 17 people. To escape the country Bateman killed a friend of his named Lucas North. North had just made it past the first battery of tests for admission to MI5. Bateman assumed North's identity and left Maya behind.

Bessie was described by Jean's witness as a bonny little woman, 20 years old, black-haired and pale, often wearing a black gown. She had been a servant of Jean's mother and her father was a blacksmith. The adultery occurred at Haddington Abbey and Crichton Castle. The marriage was formally annulled on 7 May by the Consistorial Court of St. Andrews presided over by the Catholic Archbishop Hamilton. The annulment was due to Bothwell and Jean not having received a dispensation for their marriage, although they were within the fourth degree of consanguinity. Actually a dispensation had been given prior to their marriage by Archbishop Hamilton himself. Eight days later, on 15 May Bothwell married, as her third husband, the widowed Mary, Queen of Scots, whose late husband Lord Darnley had been murdered at Kirk o'Field, Edinburgh in mysterious circumstances which implicated Bothwell as having been the chief culprit behind the crime. Jean remained at Bothwell's Crichton Castle, its mortgage having been redeemed by her own dowry. Following Bothwell and Queen Mary's defeat at Carberry Hill, Jean abandoned Crichton, and returned to her mother at Strathbogie Castle.

Soccer has been exempt from these restrictions since 1982, when the league lost a lawsuit filed by the original NASL stemming from the investments of Kansas City Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt and Elizabeth Robbie, the wife of Miami Dolphins owner Joe Robbie in NASL teams; as a result, NFL owners have owned teams in MLS in other NFL markets. In October 2018, the NFL owners voted to relax the cross-ownership rule, allowing controlling NFL owners to own other professional teams within NFL markets.

Entertainment Weekly gave the film a \"B\u2212\" rating and Owen Gleiberman praised Tomei's performance: \"With her flashing dark eyes and libidinous overbite, Tomei is adorable\u00a0\u2014 she looks like a flirtatious bunny rabbit\u00a0\u2014 but what's astonishing is the range of expression that passes over those delectable features\". Rolling Stone magazine's Peter Travers wrote, \"The Rain Man-Dying Young elements in Tom Sierchio's script are pitfalls that Slater dodges with a wonderfully appealing performance. His love scenes with the dazzling Tomei have an uncommon delicacy\". In his review for The New Yorker, Anthony Lane praised Tomei for bringing \"startling high spirits to a dullish role. She snatches moments of happiness out of the air and shares them out to anyone who\u2019s around\". Mike Clark, in his review for USA Today, wrote, \"Director Tony Bill (My Bodyguard) is adept both in the yarn's meticulous buildup and in his handling of the actors\".\n", "title": "Untamed Heart", "pid": "p_3040" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "He is buried in", "indices": [ 130, 145 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Westminster Abbey" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "How many people are buried in the same place Charles is?", "qid": "q_7095" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 146, 163 ], "target": "Westminster Abbey" }, { "indices": [ 185, 187 ], "target": "Knight Bachelor" }, { "indices": [ 234, 236 ], "target": "Baronet" }, { "indices": [ 289, 301 ], "target": "Copley Medal" }, { "indices": [ 309, 322 ], "target": "Royal Society" }, { "indices": [ 339, 354 ], "target": "Wollaston Medal" }, { "indices": [ 362, 380 ], "target": "Geological Society of London" }, { "indices": [ 390, 401 ], "target": "Mount Lyell (California)" }, { "indices": [ 423, 445 ], "target": "Yosemite National Park" }, { "indices": [ 478, 483 ], "target": "Lyell (lunar crater)" }, { "indices": [ 491, 495 ], "target": "Moon" }, { "indices": [ 502, 508 ], "target": "Impact crater" }, { "indices": [ 512, 516 ], "target": "Mars" }, { "indices": [ 543, 554 ], "target": "Mount Lyell (Tasmania)" }, { "indices": [ 837, 842 ], "target": "Lyell, New Zealand" }, { "indices": [ 914, 925 ], "target": "Cephalaspis" }, { "indices": [ 943, 960 ], "target": "Old Red Sandstone" }, { "indices": [ 996, 1009 ], "target": "Louis Agassiz" } ], "text": "Lyell's wife died in 1873, and two years later (in 1875) Lyell himself died as he was revising the twelfth edition of Principles.

The high-pressure gas mixture created by the rapid decomposition of hydrogen peroxide could not only be used in a turbine, but if simply directed out of a nozzle, created considerable thrust. Wernher von Braun's rocketry team working at Peenem\u00fcnde expressed interest in Walter's ideas, and in 1936 began a programme of installing Walter rockets into aircraft. The experimental results obtained by von Braun created interest among Germany's aircraft manufacturers, including Heinkel and Messerschmitt, and in 1939, the Heinkel He 176 became the first aircraft to fly on liquid-fuelled rocket power alone. This type of engine went on to become the cornerstone of the Messerschmitt Me 163 rocket-powered fighter, when married to Alexander Lippisch's revolutionary airframe design. Throughout the course of World War II, Walter's aircraft engines became increasingly powerful and refined. The original design of simply decomposing hydrogen peroxide was soon changed to its use as an oxidizer (much like dinitrogen tetroxide would be used later) when combined with a hydrazine/methanol true rocket fuel designated C-Stoff, into the hot, high-pressure gases, and in later, never-deployed developments, a second, 400\u00a0kg (880 lb) thrust \"cruising\" combustion chamber, nicknamed a Marschofen, was added below the main chamber to allow for more precise control of the engine. Versions of this engine were intended to power a variety of aircraft design proposals and missile projects and was also licence-built in Japan (see HWK 109-509).\n", "title": "Hellmuth Walter", "pid": "p_3062" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "In 2012, Hudson Mohawke began a series of collaborations with Kanye West", "indices": [ 0, 72 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Kanye West" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "How much was Kanye West worth the year Mohawke began collaborating with him?", "qid": "q_7138" }, { "context": [ { "text": "On 17 January 2013, it was announced that Mohawke had officially signed with GOOD Music", "indices": [ 150, 237 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Cruel Summer (GOOD Music album)" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "How much had Cruel Summer grossed by the time it was announced that Mohawke had officially signed with GOOD Music?", "qid": "q_7139" }, { "context": [ { "text": "West's 2016 follow-up The Life of Pablo", "indices": [ 484, 523 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Drake (musician)", "Pusha T" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "Which artist was worth more the year The Life of Pablo was released, Drake, or Pusha T?", "qid": "q_7140" }, { "context": [ { "text": "West's 2013 album Yeezus", "indices": [ 399, 423 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Drake released his debut studio album Thank Me Later in 2010, which debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 and was soon certified platinum.

Germany built the expedition ship Gauss for 1.5 million marks at the Howaldtswerke in Kiel. On the model of the Fram, the Gauss, which weighed 1,442 tonnes (1,419 long tons) and was long, had a round hulk in order to withstand the ice pressure. The Gauss had three masts and one auxiliary engine of 275 horsepower (205\u00a0kW). With a 60-strong crew, it could operate for almost three years without any help. From 1901 until 1903, Erich von Drygalski led the German Antarctic expedition and carried out extensive studies mainly in the southern part of the Indian Ocean. The Swedish expedition under the command of Otto Nordenskj\u00f6ld used the old Antarctic weighing only 353 tonnes, which had already been used by Borchgrevink in 1895. The expedition intending to overwinter at the Antarctic Peninsula was ill-starred from the beginning. In 1902, the Antarctic sank. Fortunately, the Argentine gunboat Uruguay rescued all crewmembers. Also Great Britain prompted Dundee Shipbuilders to build a ship for Robert Falcon Scott's expedition. The Discovery weighed 1620 tonnes, was long and had an auxiliary motor of 450 horsepower. Nevertheless, during the research the ship froze in. Only the relief ship Morning, sent by the British Admiralty, was able to free the Discovery and with Terra Nova escorted the Discovery back home. The reunion with the Antarctic ice was undertaken by a Scottish expedition led by the naturalist William Speirs Bruce. Bruce had worked with the whale catchers Balaena and Active in the Southern Ocean in 1892 to 1893. He hoped that he could acquire the field-tested Balaena but found the ship too expensive, buying instead the Norwegian whale catcher Hekla for \u00a32,620, a ship that had sailed under the Danish flag along Greenland's coast in 1891 and 1892. For another \u00a38,000 he had the ship repaired and provided it with a new engine. Under the new name Scotia, this ship completed its way into the Southern Ocean and was very successful thanks to dredging and trawl catches at great depth in the Weddell Sea and off the coast.\n", "title": "History of research ships", "pid": "p_3076" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "After the success of Walt Disney Productions' first feature-length animated film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937)", "indices": [ 0, 119 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Walter Elias Disney (; December 5, 1901", "indices": [ 0, 39 ], "passage": "Walt Disney" } ], "question_links": [ "Walt Disney" ], "answer": { "answer_value": "36", "answer_unit": "years", "type": "value" }, "question": "How old was Walt Disney the year Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was released?", "qid": "q_7173" }, { "context": [ { "text": "Inspired by the unprecedented success of The Little Mermaid (1989)", "indices": [ 557, 623 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Walter Elias Disney (; December 5, 1901December 15, 1966)", "indices": [ 0, 57 ], "passage": "Walt Disney" }, { "text": "The Little Mermaid (1989 film)", "indices": [ -32, -2 ], "passage": "The Little Mermaid (1989 film)" } ], "question_links": [ "Walt Disney" ], "answer": { "answer_value": "23", "answer_unit": "years", "type": "value" }, "question": "How long had Walt Disney been deceased for the year that The Little Mermaid was released?", "qid": "q_7174" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 21, 44 ], "target": "The Walt Disney Company" }, { "indices": [ 81, 112 ], "target": "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937 film)" }, { "indices": [ 131, 142 ], "target": "Walt Disney" }, { "indices": [ 198, 218 ], "target": "Beauty and the Beast" }, { "indices": [ 223, 256 ], "target": "Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont" }, { "indices": [ 598, 616 ], "target": "The Little Mermaid (1989 film)" }, { "indices": [ 654, 672 ], "target": "Jeffrey Katzenberg" }, { "indices": [ 673, 682 ], "target": "Green-light" }, { "indices": [ 941, 955 ], "target": "Broadway theatre" }, { "indices": [ 956, 968 ], "target": "Musical film" }, { "indices": [ 980, 994 ], "target": "Strong female character" }, { "indices": [ 1247, 1263 ], "target": "Linda Woolverton" }, { "indices": [ 1332, 1342 ], "target": "Screenplay" } ], "text": "After the success of Walt Disney Productions' first feature-length animated film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937), filmmaker Walt Disney himself made several attempts to adapt the fairy tale \"Beauty and the Beast\" by Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont into one of the studio's earliest animated feature films during the 1930s and 1950s. However, the project was continuously abandoned due to the fairy tale's \"static\" plot and main characters. The filmmaker was also concerned about the \"unnecessary intensity\" required to depict Belle's imprisonment. Inspired by the unprecedented success of The Little Mermaid (1989), Walt Disney Studios chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg green-lit another attempt at adapting \"Beauty and the Beast\" under the direction of Richard Purdum. However, Katzenberg did not approve of Purdum's dark, somber version of the fairy tale, and ultimately ordered that it be restarted from scratch in favor of creating a Broadway-style musical film starring a strong heroine, more similar to The Little Mermaid. Opting instead for a \"feminist twist\" on the original story, largely in response to critics' negative reception to Ariel regarding her pursuit of Eric being her overall character, Katzenberg hired television writer Linda Woolverton, who had never written an animated film before, to write the film's screenplay.\n", "title": "Belle (Beauty and the Beast)", "pid": "p_3077" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "On 19 July, Liverpool played their first match of the 2017 Premier League Asia Trophy friendly tournament in Hong Kong against Crystal Palace.", "indices": [ 443, 585 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Crystal Palace F.C." ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "How many team members did Crystal Palace have when they played in Hong Kong against Liverpool F.C.?", "qid": "q_7175" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 76, 91 ], "target": "Tranmere Rovers F.C." }, { "indices": [ 138, 150 ], "target": "James Milner" }, { "indices": [ 176, 188 ], "target": "Marko Gruji\u0107" }, { "indices": [ 190, 206 ], "target": "Pedro Chirivella" }, { "indices": [ 212, 224 ], "target": "Ben Woodburn" }, { "indices": [ 284, 298 ], "target": "Wigan Athletic F.C." }, { "indices": [ 428, 441 ], "target": "Mohamed Salah" }, { "indices": [ 497, 528 ], "target": "2017 Premier League Asia Trophy" }, { "indices": [ 570, 584 ], "target": "Crystal Palace F.C." }, { "indices": [ 645, 660 ], "target": "Dominic Solanke" }, { "indices": [ 666, 678 ], "target": "Divock Origi" }, { "indices": [ 768, 784 ], "target": "Andrew Robertson" }, { "indices": [ 800, 809 ], "target": "Hull City A.F.C." }, { "indices": [ 819, 833 ], "target": "Leicester City F.C." }, { "indices": [ 955, 972 ], "target": "Philippe Coutinho" } ], "text": "Liverpool began their preseason in the same manner as last year, a visit to Tranmere Rovers on 12 July.

In Canada, different variants contain five and 50 micrograms of thimerosal per dose. The use of thiomersal has been controversial, with claims that it can cause autism and other developmental disorders. The U.S. Institute of Medicine examined these claims and concluded in 2004 that the evidence did not support any link between vaccines and autism. Other reviews came to similar conclusions, with a 2006 review in the Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences stating that there is no convincing evidence to support the claim that thimerosal has a causal role in autism, and a 2009 review in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases stating that claims that mercury can cause autism are \"biologically implausible\". The U.K. National Health Service stated in 2003 that \"There is no evidence of long-term adverse effects due to the exposure levels of thiomersal in vaccines.\" The World Health Organization concluded that there is \"no evidence of toxicity in infants, children or adults exposed to thiomersal in vaccines\". Indeed, in 2008 a review noted that even though thiomersal was removed from all US childhood vaccines in 2001, this has not changed the number of autism diagnoses, which are still increasing.\n", "title": "2009 flu pandemic vaccine", "pid": "p_3086" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "It was compared by Tim Jonze from The Guardian to the Eurodance song, \"It's My Life", "indices": [ 475, 558 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "while Nicola James from MTV compared the chorus with Jennifer Lopez's 1999 single \"Waiting for Tonight", "indices": [ 573, 675 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "1. \"It's My Life\" (radio edit) \u2014 4:00", "indices": [ 1309, 1346 ], "passage": "It's My Life (Dr. Alban song)" }, { "text": "1. \"Waiting for Tonight\" (Album Version)\u00a0\u2013 4:06", "indices": [ 23471, 23518 ], "passage": "Waiting for Tonight" } ], "question_links": [ "It's My Life (Dr. Alban song)", "Waiting for Tonight" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 23508, "text": "Waiting for Tonight", "passage": "waiting for tonight", "end": 23527 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "Of the songs compared to Marry the Night, which one is the longest?", "qid": "q_7196" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 23, 32 ], "target": "Dance-pop" }, { "indices": [ 56, 68 ], "target": "Electronic rock" }, { "indices": [ 73, 78 ], "target": "House music" }, { "indices": [ 323, 329 ], "target": "Techno" }, { "indices": [ 380, 386 ], "target": "Refrain" }, { "indices": [ 509, 521 ], "target": "The Guardian" }, { "indices": [ 529, 538 ], "target": "Eurodance" }, { "indices": [ 546, 558 ], "target": "It's My Life (Dr. Alban song)" }, { "indices": [ 563, 571 ], "target": "Dr. Alban" }, { "indices": [ 626, 640 ], "target": "Jennifer Lopez" }, { "indices": [ 656, 675 ], "target": "Waiting for Tonight" }, { "indices": [ 750, 753 ], "target": "NME" }, { "indices": [ 807, 810 ], "target": "Pop music" } ], "text": "\"Marry the Night\" is a dance-pop and synthpop song with electro rock and house influences.

In 1995, Hamilton went 6\u20139 with a 3.08 ERA in 30 starts and 204 innings pitched. Hamilton gave up 189 hits and 70 earned runs (89 unearned). Hamilton walked 56 batters and struck out 123. At age 25 in 1996, Hamilton put up a career high in wins (15) and his second most innings pitched (211). Hamilton accrued a 4.17 ERA in 33 starts, along with 206 hits allowed and 98 earned runs. In his fourth year with San Diego in 1997, Hamilton started on Opening Day for the Padres. In the game, he pitched six innings and gave up four runs on eight hits. The Padres won the game over the New York Mets 12\u20136. Hamilton compiled a 12\u20137 record with a 4.25 ERA for the season and gave up 69 walks and struck out 124. Hamilton suffered a shoulder injury that was described as an inflammation of the rotator cuff and bursa sac. This injury forced Hamilton onto the disabled list during the 1997 season. Hamilton called the injury \"real scary\", saying that he feared he may lose the ability to throw . During the 1998 off-season, San Diego acquired Kevin Brown through a trade with the Florida Marlins, giving San Diego three pitchers who could throw at and above, including Hamilton. With the Padres in 1998, Hamilton's last season in San Diego, he had a 13\u201313 record, 4.27 ERA in 34 starts and 217 innings pitched. He walked a career-high 106 batters and struck out 147. There was a rumored trade around the 1998 MLB trade deadline that would have sent Hamilton to the Detroit Tigers, but it never materialized. During the 1998 World Series, the Padres scheduled Hamilton to pitch game four but was passed over for game one starter Kevin Brown and instead entered game three to relieve starter Sterling Hitchcock. With San Diego, Hamilton went 55 and 44 with a 3.75 ERA in 934 innings pitched.\n", "title": "Joey Hamilton", "pid": "p_3105" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "Radwa\u0144ska and Svetlana Kuznetsova played each other eighteen times since 2007,", "indices": [ 0, 78 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Svetlana Aleksandrovna Kuznetsova (; born 27 June 1985) is a Russian professional tennis player.

This prompted an answer record from Althea & Donna using the same rhythm, in the form of the UK-chart topping \"Uptown Top Ranking\". Trinity recorded \"Slim Thing\" in response, but failed to match Althea & Donna's success. 1977 also saw the release of the Uptown Girl album, produced by Bunny Lee, and strong albums in 1978 in the form of Three Piece Chicken and Chips (with Ranking Trevor) and Showcase.

Having represented Western Australia in eight interstate matches, Winmar was named in St Kilda's in 2003 and was inducted into the West Australian Football Hall of Fame in 2009. An Indigenous Australian, he was the first Aboriginal footballer to play 200 games in the AFL and was named in the Indigenous Team of the Century in 2005. He was involved in several incidents of racial vilification during his career and a photograph of Winmar responding to one such incident during the 1993 season has been described as one of the most memorable images in Australian sporting history.\n", "title": "Nicky Winmar", "pid": "p_3125" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "by a Royal Charter from the King of England, Charles II, who had in turn acquired it on May 11, 1661, when his marriage treaty with Catherine of Braganza", "indices": [ 107, 260 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Royal Charter of 27 March 1668", "indices": [ -32, -2 ], "passage": "Royal Charter of 27 March 1668" } ], "question_links": [ "Royal Charter of 27 March 1668", "Catherine of Braganza", "Charles II of England" ], "answer": { "answer_value": "7", "answer_unit": "years", "type": "value" }, "question": "How much time had passed between King Charles' wedding treaty with Catherine of Braganza and the Royal Charter?", "qid": "q_7284" }, { "context": [ { "text": "daughter of King John IV of Portugal", "indices": [ 262, 298 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Major territorial acquisitions were made during the Anglo-Maratha Wars", "indices": [ 671, 741 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "John IV (, ; 19 March 1604 \u2013 6 November 1656)", "indices": [ 0, 45 ], "passage": "John IV of Portugal" }, { "text": "The Anglo\u2013Maratha War were three wars fought in the Indian sub-continent between the Maratha Empire and the British East India Company:\n\n- First Anglo-Maratha War (1775\u20131782)-\u0935\u093e\u0930\u0947\u0928 \u0939\u0947\u0938\u094d\u091f\u093f\u0902\u0917\u094d\u0938\n- Second Anglo-Maratha War (1803\u20131805)-\u0932\u093e\u0930\u094d\u0921 \u0935\u0947\u0932\u0947\u091c\u0932\u0940\n- Third Anglo-Maratha War, also known as the Pindari War (1817\u20131818)-\u0932\u093e\u0930\u094d\u0921 \u0939\u0947\u0938\u094d\u091f\u093f\u0902\u0917\u094d\u0938\n\n\n\n", "indices": [ 0, 334 ], "passage": "Anglo-Maratha Wars" } ], "question_links": [ "John IV of Portugal", "Anglo-Maratha Wars" ], "answer": { "answer_value": "no", "type": "binary" }, "question": "Was King John IV of Portugal still alive when The Anglo-Maratha wars ended?", "qid": "q_7285" }, { "context": [ { "text": "The Bombay Presidency was created when the city of Bombay was leased in fee tail to the East India Company", "indices": [ 0, 106 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "East India Company", "Battle of Hyderabad" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "How much time had passed between the city of Bombay being leased to the East India Company and the Battle of Hyderabad?", "qid": "q_7286" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 72, 80 ], "target": "Fee tail" }, { "indices": [ 88, 106 ], "target": "East India Company" }, { "indices": [ 112, 125 ], "target": "Royal Charter of 27 March 1668" }, { "indices": [ 135, 150 ], "target": "List of English monarchs" }, { "indices": [ 152, 162 ], "target": "Charles II of England" }, { "indices": [ 239, 260 ], "target": "Catherine of Braganza" }, { "indices": [ 274, 298 ], "target": "John IV of Portugal" }, { "indices": [ 350, 364 ], "target": "English overseas possessions" }, { "indices": [ 454, 467 ], "target": "Western India" }, { "indices": [ 486, 491 ], "target": "Surat" }, { "indices": [ 586, 596 ], "target": "Parliament" }, { "indices": [ 653, 669 ], "target": "Pitt's India Act" }, { "indices": [ 723, 741 ], "target": "Anglo-Maratha Wars" }, { "indices": [ 764, 770 ], "target": "Peshwa" }, { "indices": [ 799, 806 ], "target": "Gaekwad" }, { "indices": [ 990, 996 ], "target": "Talpur" }, { "indices": [ 1012, 1031 ], "target": "Battle of Hyderabad" } ], "text": "The Bombay Presidency was created when the city of Bombay was leased in fee tail to the East India Company by a Royal Charter from the King of England, Charles II, who had in turn acquired it on May 11, 1661, when his marriage treaty with Catherine of Braganza, daughter of King John IV of Portugal, placed the islands of Bombay in possession of the English Empire, as part of Catherine's dowry to Charles.

And eventually the Morris would also serve to connect the rapidly developing Coal Regions to the north and west, to the fuel starved iron works to the west, the commercial port of Philadelphia to the south, and to the many home owners seeking fuel for heat within Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, Delaware and New York. Seeing other ways of exploiting the new fuel source, other entrepreneurs quickly moved to connect across the Delaware River reaching into the New York City area to the east via a connection with the Morris Canal in Phillipsburg, New Jersey, so the town became a canal nexus or hub from which the Coal from Mauch Chunk reached the world. The early railroads were often built to parallel and speed shipping along transportation corridors, and by the late 1860s the Lehigh and Susquehanna Railroad (LH&S) and Lehigh Valley Railroad (LVRR) were built to augment the bulk traffic through the canals and provide lucrative passenger travel services. The LVRR, known as 'the Black Diamond Line' would boast the twice daily \"Black Diamond Express\" daily passenger trains to and from New York City and Buffalo, New York via Easton. The Central Railroad of New Jersey (CNJ), would lease and operate the LH&S tracks from the 1870s until the Conrail consolidations absorbed both the Central Railroad of New Jersey and Lehigh Valley Railroad in 1966.

On the edition of 18 February of Impact! Terry finally grew tired of Magnus' abuse and attacked him, thus ending his alliance with the British Invasion and turning face. On the edition of 25 February of Impact! Terry made his first Global Championship title defence, when he defeated Mr. Anderson, after interference from Kurt Angle. Since then, Terry went on to defend the Global Championship in quick squash matches against his former British Invasion team-mate Doug Williams, as well as Magnus at Destination X. The very next day on Impact!, Terry again successfully defended the championship, squashing Tomko in a mere 65 seconds. On the edition of 5 April of Impact! Terry adopted the nickname \"The Freak\". On the edition of 19 April of Impact! Terry joined Team Hogan and teamed with Abyss, Jeff Jarrett and Samoa Joe to defeat Team Flair (Sting, Desmond Wolfe, Robert Roode and James Storm) in an eight-man tag team match. During this time, Terry was being built as an unstoppable monster and was asked and agreed to take an unprotected chair shot to the head during a match with Homicide. Several wrestling news outlets reported on the incident, which caused Terry to legitimately bleed heavily from the top of his head. Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer Online called it \"completely disgusting and unnecessary.\" Later, he started a feud with newcomer Orlando Jordan. After weeks of stalking Terry, Jordan debuted his new interview segment, \"The O-Zone\" on the edition of 3 May of Impact!, attacking Terry during the segment and beginning a feud. On the next edition of Impact! Jordan attacked Terry with a lead pipe as Terry was preparing to defend his title against Abyss. At Sacrifice Terry defeated Jordan to retain the Global Championship. On 20 June, Terry became the longest reigning Global Champion in history, beating Booker T's reign of 143 days as champion. On 13 July at the tapings of the edition of 22 July of Impact!, Terry lost the Global Championship to A.J. Styles, ending his reign at 167 days.

Although Danner stayed detached from Communism and would eventually oppose all radical politics, she participated in various South Side groups, including Inez Cunningham Stark's poetry workshop at the South Side Community Art Center, along with Gwendolyn Brooks and Margaret Goss Burroughs, her \"sometime friends (and rivals).\" In 1946, Danner founded Art Associates to gather and promote Chicago's black writers and poets.

In 2002, he graduated from the Quince Orchard High School in Gaithersburg, Maryland, and moved to Largo, Maryland in Prince George's County. Wale attended Robert Morris University and Virginia State University on football scholarships, then transferred to Bowie State University. However, he dropped out due to academic reasons. Wale's love of the game of football and the Washington Redskins has led to a longstanding rumor that Wale had a tattoo of tight end Chris Cooley. He's also the cousin of an actor Gbenga Akinnagbe, who is best known as for playing Chris Partlow on HBO's The Wire. Wale's first recorded track, called \"Rhyme of the Century\", became his first song to ever be played on the local radio. In 2006, he was featured in the \"Unsigned Hype\" column of The Source magazine, and later signed to a local label, Studio 43. The track, called \"Dig Dug (Shake It)\" became popular in Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia, and was a tribute to Ronald \"Dig Dug\" Dixon, who was a percussion player for the go-go band Northeast Groovers. The song became the most requested song by a local artist in Washington D.C. radio history and Wale was the first local artist to get some BDS spins since DJ Kool in the early 1990s. The song was included in Wale's first mixtape, Paint a Picture.\n", "title": "Wale (rapper)", "pid": "p_3155" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "The gun was used in several conflicts but most of its fame comes from its use in the Spanish civil war and the Winter war where it was used very successfully against light tanks and armored cars among other targets.", "indices": [ 253, 468 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Spanish Civil War", "Winter War" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "How many casualties combined where in the two wars where the Bofors 37 mm anti-tank gun gained most of its fame from?", "qid": "q_7359" }, { "context": [ { "text": "The Bofors 37\u00a0mm anti-tank gun was an anti-tank gun designed by Swedish manufacturer Bofors in the early 1930s originally for Swedish use.", "indices": [ 0, 138 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Located in Karlskoga, Sweden, the company originates from the hammer mill \"Boofors\", which was founded as a royal state-owned company in 1646.", "indices": [ 176, 318 ], "passage": "Bofors" } ], "question_links": [ "Bofors" ], "answer": { "answer_value": "284", "answer_unit": "years", "type": "value" }, "question": "How long had the company Bofors existed when they started manufacturing the Bofors 37 mm anti-tank gun", "qid": "q_7360" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 38, 51 ], "target": "Anti-tank gun" }, { "indices": [ 85, 91 ], "target": "Bofors" }, { "indices": [ 338, 355 ], "target": "Spanish Civil War" }, { "indices": [ 364, 374 ], "target": "Winter War" }, { "indices": [ 419, 430 ], "target": "Light tank" }, { "indices": [ 435, 447 ], "target": "Armored car (military)" }, { "indices": [ 587, 592 ], "target": "Netherlands" }, { "indices": [ 593, 609 ], "target": "M39 Pantserwagen" }, { "indices": [ 618, 624 ], "target": "Poland" }, { "indices": [ 625, 628 ], "target": "7TP" }, { "indices": [ 687, 699 ], "target": "World War II" }, { "indices": [ 743, 756 ], "target": "Anti-tank gun" }, { "indices": [ 794, 814 ], "target": "Infantry support gun" }, { "indices": [ 862, 870 ], "target": "Cold War" } ], "text": "The Bofors 37\u00a0mm anti-tank gun was an anti-tank gun designed by Swedish manufacturer Bofors in the early 1930s originally for Swedish use.

Though not a DJ (a popular misconception), Moulton had begun his career by making a homemade mix tape for a Fire Island dance club in the late 1960s. His tapes eventually became popular and he came to the attention of the music industry in New York City. At first Moulton was simply called upon to improve the aesthetics of dance-oriented recordings before release (\"I didn't do the remix, I did the mix\"\u2014Tom Moulton). Eventually, he moved from being a \"fix it\" man on pop records to specializing in remixes for the dance floor. Along the way, he invented the breakdown section and the 12-inch single vinyl format. Walter Gibbons provided the dance version of the first commercial 12-inch single (\"Ten Percent\", by Double Exposure). Contrary to popular belief, Gibbons did not mix the record. In fact his version was a re-edit of the original mix. Moulton, Gibbons and their contemporaries (Jim Burgess, Tee Scott, and later Larry Levan and Shep Pettibone) at Salsoul Records proved to be the most influential group of remixers for the disco era. The Salsoul catalog is seen (especially in the UK and Europe) as being the \"canon\" for the disco mixer's art form. Pettibone is among a very small number of remixers whose work successfully transitioned from the disco to the House era. (He is certainly the most high-profile remixer to do so.)

After the album's release, the band moved to London the same year, and subsequently fired drummer Gyp Casino before hiring Hanoi Rocks fan Nicholas Dingley, better known as Razzle, as drummer. The line-up with Razzle is considered the definitive version of Hanoi Rocks. Later that year the band released Self Destruction Blues, which had Razzle on the cover, but he didn't play on the album, because it was actually a compilation of old singles. The tour for the album took the band to Asia for the first time. The next year 1983, the band released Back to Mystery City and after that, in 1984, the band worked with producer Bob Ezrin, and released Two Steps from the Move. Before this, McCoy had written most of the songs by himself, but for this album Bob Ezrin helped McCoy with the writing, along with Monroe.

Eastern Orthodoxy was widespread in the Belarusian Western Belarus regions and the Ukrainian Volhynia.

Earlier, in January 1922, the Polish government had issued an order recognizing the Orthodox church and placing it under the authority of the state. At that time a Ukrainian, Yurii Yaroshevsky, was appointed Metropolitan and exarch by the patriarch of Moscow. When Yaroshevsky began to reject the authority of Moscow Patriarchate, he was assassinated by a Russian monk. Nonetheless, his successor, Dionizy Waledy\u0144ski (Dionisii Valedinsky), continued to work for the autocephaly of the Polish Orthodox church, which was finally granted by the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople in his Tomos of 13 November 1924. Given that most of the parishioners were Ukrainians and Belarusians living in the Eastern areas of the newly independent Polish Second Republic, the Patriarch of Constantinople had a canonical basis to grant the Tomos to the Polish church as a successor of the Kyiv Metropolia, the former territory of Kyivan Rus' which Constantinople continued to see as its canonical territory (despite having agreed to allow Moscow to be its caretaker it in 1686).

Evidence of iron smelting has also been excavated at sites in the Nsukka region of southeast Nigeria in what is now Igboland: dating to 2,000 BC at the site of Lejja (Uzomaka 2009) and to 750 BC and at the site of Opi (Holl 2009).

Others have suggested that the technology moved west from the Nile Valley, although the Iron Age in the Niger River valley and the forest region appears to predate the introduction of metallurgy in the upper savanna by more than 800 years.

By 1943 Sheng Shicai switched his allegiance to the Kuomintang after major Soviet defeats at the hands of the Germans in World War II, all Soviet Red Army military forces and technicians residing in the province were expelled, and the Republic of China National Revolutionary Army units and soldiers belonging to Ma Bufang moved into Xinjiang to take control of the province. Ma Bufang helped the Kuomintang build roads linking Qinghai and Xinjiang, which helped both of them bring Xinjiang under their influence. At August 1942 Sheng met Dekanozov, former Soviet ambassador to Nazi Germany and Vice Commissar of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the USSR, in \u00dcr\u00fcmqi and demanded that the Soviet Union withdraw all military forces and political officers from Xinjiang in three months and remove all Soviet equipment from the territory of Soviet Concessions, including closing the Soviet oil fields in Tushangze (Jungaria) and the Soviet Aircraft Manufacturing Plant in \u00dcr\u00fcmqi. On 29 August 1942, the day after Dekanozov left \u00dcr\u00fcmqi, Sheng met Madame Chiang Kai-shek, wife of the Chinese Generalissimo, who flew to \u00dcr\u00fcmqi with a letter from Chiang Kai-shek promising his forgiveness to Sheng for all of his previous deals. Sheng was appointed the head of the Kuomintang branch in Xinjiang in 1943 and allowed Kuomintang cadres into the province. To forge his ties with Kuomintang, on 17 September 1942 Sheng arrested a number of Chinese communists sent to Xinjiang by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in 1938 and executed them in 1943. Among the executed was Mao Zemin, brother of Mao Zedong. In the summer of 1944, following the German defeat on the Eastern Front, Sheng attempted to reassert control over Xinjiang and turned to the Soviet Union for support again. He arrested a number of Kuomintang cadres in \u00dcr\u00fcmqi and sent a letter to Stalin offering to \"incorporate Xinjiang into USSR as its 18th Soviet Socialistic Republic.\" Sheng Shicai asked Stalin for the post of ruler of the new Soviet Republic. Stalin refused to deal with Sheng and forwarded the confidential letter to Chiang Kai-shek. As a result, the Kuomintang removed him from the province in August 1944 and appointed him to a low-level post in the Ministry of Forestry in Chongqing.\n", "title": "Second East Turkestan Republic", "pid": "p_3196" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "Baleen is believed to have evolved around 30 million years ago, possibly from a hard, gummy upper jaw, like the one a Dall's porpoise has", "indices": [ 376, 513 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": ".

Bumgarner had an excellent regular season for the Giants, finishing with a career-low in ERA and a career-high in strikeouts, finishing fourth in the National League in both categories. On the hill for the New York Mets was Noah Syndergaard, who himself finished 3rd in the NL in ERA and 9th in strikeouts. The pitching matchup didn't disappoint, it took until the bottom of the third inning for the game's first hit and baserunner, with Syndergaard striking out four straight batters on two occasions. The closest either side came to scoring was in the top of the 6th when, after Denard Span singled and stole second base with two outs, Brandon Belt hit a long fly ball to center field which was caught on the dead run by Curtis Granderson, smashing into the wall and holding on. Syndergaard exited after 7 innings, having struck out 10. Crucially as it turned out, the Giants had forced Syndergaard out of the game with Bumgarner still going strong. Another golden opportunity was squandered by the Giants in the top of the 8th inning, when Addison Reed struck out Hunter Pence to end the inning with the bases loaded. After Bumgarner left a runner in scoring position in the bottom of the 8th, the game moved to the 9th with the Mets bringing in closer Jeurys Familia. Brandon Crawford led the inning off with a double to left-center, but \u00c1ngel Pag\u00e1n couldn't lay down the sacrifice bunt and then struck out. Joe Panik worked a walk and Conor Gillaspie stepped up to the plate to launch a three-run home run to right field. Gillaspie had only started the game because Eduardo N\u00fa\u00f1ez was still dealing with a hamstring injury and had to be left off the roster.

The eventual triumph of the Greeks was achieved by alliances of many city-states, on a scale never seen before.

Following the defeat of the Athenians in 404 BC, and the disbandment of the Athenian-dominated Delian League, Ancient Greece fell under the Spartan hegemony. But this was unstable, and the Persian Empire sponsored a rebellion by the combined powers of Athens, Thebes, Corinth and Argos, resulting in the Corinthian War (395-387 BC). Persia switched sides, which ended the war, in return for the cities of Ionia and Spartan non-interference in Asia Minor.

In spite of the strong two-term tradition, Ulysses S. Grant sought a non-consecutive third term in 1880, as did Theodore Roosevelt in 1912 (though it would have been only his second full term). Both were unsuccessful.\nIn 1940, after leading the nation through the Great Depression, Franklin Roosevelt was elected to a third term, breaking the self-imposed precedent. Four years later, with the U.S. engaged in World War II, he was re-elected again despite his declining physical health; he died 82 days into his fourth term on April 12, 1945.\n\nIn response to the unprecedented length of Roosevelt's presidency, the Twenty-second Amendment was adopted in 1951. The amendment bars anyone from being elected president more than twice, or once if that person served more than two years (24 months) of another president's four-year term. Harry S. Truman, president when this term limit came into force, was exempted from its limitations, and briefly sought a second full term\u2014to which he would have otherwise been ineligible for election, as he had been president for more than two years of Roosevelt's fourth term\u2014before he withdrew from the 1952 election.\n\nSince the amendment's adoption, five presidents have served two full terms: Dwight D. Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama. Both Jimmy Carter and George H. W. Bush sought a second term but were defeated.

Luke Taft established a mill at the site in 1833, and Moses Taft, (Luke's son and Daniel Day's grandson) established what later became the larger Stanley Mill in 1852. Uxbridge was an early industrial center that played key roles in the early textile industry in America, pioneering satinets, cashmeres, blended fabrics, and power looms for woolens. Stanley Woolen Mill later would become a legacy of both the Taft and Wheelock families, continuing woolen and textile innovations of Uxbridge, begun by Jerry, Luke and their contemporaries. Stanley Woolen Mill became the first mill to offer complete vertical integration from raw materials to clothing. Stanley Woolen Mill, was a continuously operating family business, from 1833 at the present site, and from 1809, with its connections to Daniel Day.\n", "title": "Stanley Woolen Mill", "pid": "p_3290" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "He began his career as a businessman in Boston, Massachusetts.", "indices": [ 108, 170 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "In 2016, Boston was estimated to have 673,184 residents", "indices": [ 22323, 22378 ], "passage": "Boston" } ], "question_links": [ "Boston" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 22381, "text": "673,184", "passage": "boston", "end": 22388 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "What is the current population of the city where Bricher began his career as a businessman?

The aircraft were deemed unsuitable for European conditions and Hawker Hurricanes replaced them from November 1940. The squadron became operational at RAF Kirton-in-Lindsey on 5 February 1941 and moved in April to RAF Martlesham Heath in Suffolk for operations over Europe. During May, it suffered its first loss when Mike Kolendorski was killed during a fighter sweep over the Netherlands. The intensity of operations stepped up with a move into No 11 Group of Fighter Command, being based at RAF North Weald in Essex by June 1941. On 2 July, William J. Hall became the first Eagle Squadron pilot to become a Prisoner of War (POW) when he was shot down during an escort mission. The squadron's first confirmed victory came on 21 July 1941 during a bomber escort mission, when Pilot Officer William R. Dunn destroyed a Messerschmitt Bf 109F over Lille. In August, the Spitfire Mk II replaced 71 Squadron's Hurricanes, before the squadron quickly re-equipped with the latest Spitfire Mk VB. The unit soon established a high reputation, and numerous air kill claims were made in RAF fighter sweeps over the continent during the summer and autumn of 1941.

Aceinet of GameZone praised the game's humor and \"ever-changing\" gameplay, concluding with a reminder that \"games are supposed to be fun and Rabbids Go Home is a fun-filled experience that shouldn\u2019t be missed regardless of the score.\" Aaron Koehn of GamePro pointed out that the game draws its strength from its odd tone, but added that the simplicity of the gameplay becomes tiresome. Dan Pearson of Eurogamer noted that the \"constant enthusiasm\" of the Rabbids can be \"draining\" to some and said that the game wasn't for hardcore gaming enthusiasts. Annette Gonzalez of Game Informer said that the animations were \"laugh-out-loud\", but some of the gameplay sequences were \"repetitive\". Matt Leone of 1UP.com remarked that the licensed soundtrack and customization features added enough personality to make the game worth playing. Nintendo Power concluded that while the game had \"difficulty issues\", it was \"a definite step in the right direction for the Rabbids, and I hope to see them continue this way.\" Tom McShea of GameSpot commented positively on the character creator, unlockable content and cutscenes, but said that the early levels were too easy and simple and the game became repetitive.\n", "title": "Rabbids Go Home", "pid": "p_3302" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "\"Made Up Stories\" was released on 26 May 2008 and the video, in which a hand-picked group of fans participated, was frequently shown on Kerrang!, Scuzz and Fizz TV", "indices": [ 437, 600 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "\"Made Up Stories\" was released on 26 May 2008 and the video, in which a hand-picked group of fans participated, was frequently shown on Kerrang!, Scuzz and Fizz TV", "indices": [ 437, 600 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "The first broadcast of Kerrang!

He oversaw the end of the Cold War and the German reunification, for which he is generally known as Chancellor of Unity. Together with French President Fran\u00e7ois Mitterrand, Kohl was the architect of the Maastricht Treaty, which established the European Union (EU) and the euro currency. Kohl was also a central figure in the eastern enlargement of the European Union, and his government led the effort to push for international recognition of Croatia, Slovenia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina when the states declared independence. He played an instrumental role in solving the Bosnian War. Domestically, Kohl's policies focused on economic reforms and later also on the process of integrating the former East Germany into the reunited Germany, and he moved the federal capital from the \"provisional capital\" Bonn back to Berlin, although he himself never resided there because the government offices were only relocated in 1999. Kohl also greatly increased federal spending on arts and culture. After his chancellorship, Kohl's reputation suffered domestically because of his role in the CDU donations scandal and he had to resign from his honorary chairmanship of the CDU after little more than a year in January 2000, but he was partly rehabilitated in later years.

All the flashforward scenes tonight were right on the money as far as I was concerned.\" Jay Glatfelter of The Huffington Post \"really liked this episode\" and concluded that it \"definitely showcased the new breath of life the fourth season gave to the show.\"\n", "title": "There's No Place Like Home (Lost)", "pid": "p_3307" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "followed by Tatamma Kala (1974), Ram Raheem (1974)", "indices": [ 211, 261 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "produced and directed by N.

From 1951 to 1955 he worked with the Gruppo mosaicisti of Ravenna and restored many mosaics. Also in 1951, at the end of November, he arrived in Paris to teach at the Ecole d'Art Italien (School of Italian Art) as an assistant to the painter Gino Severini, founder and director of the school. Together with another mosaicist, his fellow Ravennan Lino Melano, he executed mosaic works for artists including Fernand L\u00e9ger, Georges Braque, Marc Chagall, Jean Bazaine, and Raoul Ubac. He collaborated also on the mosaic for the fa\u00e7ade of the Mus\u00e9e national Fernand L\u00e9ger in Biot (Alpes-Maritimes).

Mate consumption spread in the 17th century to the Platine region and from there to Chile and Peru. This widespread consumption turned it into Paraguay\u2019s main commodity above other wares like tobacco, and Indian labour was used to harvest wild stands. In the mid 17th century Jesuits managed to domesticate the plant and establish plantations in their Indian reductions in Misiones, sparking severe competition with the Paraguayan harvesters of wild stands. After the expulsion of the Jesuits in the 1770s their plantations fell into decay as did their domestication secrets. The industry continued to be of prime importance for the Paraguayan economy after independence, but development in benefit of the Paraguayan state halted after the Paraguayan War (1864\u20131870) which devastated the country both economically and demographically. Brazil then became the prime producer of yerba mate. In Brazilian and Argentine projects in late 19th and early 20th century the plant was domesticated once again opening the way for modern plantation systems. When Brazilian entrepreneurs turned their attention to coffee in the 1930s Argentina, which had long been the prime consumer, took over as the largest producer, resurrecting Misiones Province where the Jesuits had once had most of their plantations. However, the coffee production regions in Brazil are distinct from the mate plantations. According to FAO in 2012, Brazil is the biggest producer of mate in the world with 513,256 MT (58%), followed by Argentina with 290,000 MT (32%) and Paraguay with 85,490 MT (10%).\n", "title": "History of yerba mate", "pid": "p_3337" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "as a pitcher for the Dallas Giants of the Class C Texas League", "indices": [ 135, 197 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "In 1910, he debuted in minor league baseball as a pitcher for the Dallas Giants of the Class C Texas League,", "indices": [ 90, 198 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "It was revived as a Class D league in 1902, moved to Class C in 1904 where it played through 1910 (except for 1906 as Class D again), played at Class B until 1920, and finally moved up to Class A in 1921.

It was important for Las Casas that this method be tested without meddling from secular colonists, so he chose a territory in the heart of Guatemala where there were no previous colonies and where the natives were considered fierce and war-like. Because of the fact that the land had not been possible to conquer by military means, the governor of Guatemala, Alonso de Maldonado, agreed to sign a contract promising that if the venture was successful he would not establish any new encomiendas in the area. Las Casas's group of friars established a Dominican presence in Rabinal, Sacapulas and Cob\u00e1n, reaching as far as Chahal and including Cubulco. Through the efforts of Las Casas' missionaries the so-called \"Land of War\" came to be called \"Verapaz\", \"True Peace\". Las Casas's strategy was to teach Christian songs to merchant Indian Christians who then ventured into the area.

William Browne's Britannia's Pastorals also contains passages in ottava rima. The first English poet to write mock-heroic ottava rima was John Hookham Frere, whose 1817-8 poem Prospectus and Specimen of an Intended National Work used the form to considerable effect. Lord Byron read Frere's work and saw the potential of the form. He quickly produced Beppo, his first poem to use the form. Shortly after this, Byron began working on his Don Juan (1819\u20131824), probably the best-known English poem in ottava rima. Byron also used the form for The Vision of Judgment (1822). Shelley translated the Homeric Hymns into English in ottava rima. In the 20th century, William Butler Yeats used the form in several of his best later poems, including \"Sailing to Byzantium\" and \"Among School Children\". So did Kenneth Koch for instance in his autobiographical poem \"Seasons on Earth\" of 1987. In America Emma Lazarus wrote the poem An Epistle that consists of thirty four ottava rimas.

The fifth tropical cyclone, fourth named storm, second hurricane, and first major hurricane of the annual hurricane season, Dorian originated from a westward traveling tropical wave that was located over a thousand miles east of the Windward Islands on August\u00a023. The disturbance rapidly organized and became a tropical depression and later a tropical storm, both on August\u00a024. The newly formed Dorian struggled to intensify over the next few days due to a combination of dry air and vertical wind shear. The storm passed over Barbados and entered the Caribbean Sea on August\u00a026 as it gradually strengthened. Dorian made landfall in St. Lucia on the next day, which caused serious disruption to the system's structure. Initially predicted to strike Hispaniola, Dorian's track gradually shifted to the east as the storm neared Greater Antilles. Due to land interaction and the dry air, Dorian's center reformed north of its previous location, causing the system's track to shift northward. The storm then turned towards the northwest as it traveled through a weakness in a ridge. A combination of the dry air and shear relaxing as well as the warm sea surface temperatures, allowed Dorian to become a Category\u00a01 hurricane as it passed over St. Thomas on August\u00a028. The storm developed an eye in satellite imagery soon after, but dry air still continued to disrupt the system. The commencement of an eyewall replacement cycle on August\u00a029 temporarily impeded intensification, but Dorian completed the cycle the next morning and soon resumed strengthening.\n", "title": "Meteorological history of Hurricane Dorian", "pid": "p_3343" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "Their performance at the 2006 Bonnaroo music festival was considered a breakout event", "indices": [ 470, 555 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "The Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival is an American annual four-day music festival developed and produced by Superfly Presents and AC Entertainment.

It is noteworthy for its elaborate roofing system. It features five dormer windows, two hip-and-deck roofs, three gable roofs, and two hipped roofs. The steeply pitched roof also has finials, pendants, and brackets with a modified frieze under the eaves.

Vitalian was a native of Scythia Minor and one of the Scythian monks was a relative of his. The rebellion started in 512, when a nearly identical formula to that of the Scythian monks, added to the Trisagion in the liturgy of Hagia Sophia, was removed by Emperor Anastasius II. The rebellion continued until 515, when Vitalian was defeated and forced to go into hiding. By the reign of Anastasius' successor, Justin I, orthodoxy extended even to the army: soldiers were ordered to subscribe to the creed of Chalcedon or be deprived of their rations. At the beginning of the year 519, a delegation of Scythian monks traveled to Constantinople under the leadership of John Maxentius to bring their case before Emperor Justin I, proposing a new solution by arguing in favor of their formula. They were fiercely opposed by legates from Rome and by the Sleepless Monks (so-called for their around-the-clock prayer in eight-hour shifts) ironically, in trying to combat the Eutychian tendencies of the Scythian monks, the Sleepless Monks themselves shifted into Nestorianism, and were excommunicated by Pope John II for this). Faced with this opposition, the Scythian monks' view was that although the Chalcedonian definition (strongly supported by Rome) was indeed an orthodox expression of the faith, it was susceptible to a Nestorian misinterpretation which would in effect split Christ into two persons despite the verbal acknowledgment that Christ has only one person. The Scythian monks' proposal was not well received, mainly because of the timing: the monks arrived in Constantinople just as the emperor Justin I was negotiating an end to the Acacian schism. This split between Rome and Constantinople originated in 484 when Pope Felix III excommunicated Acacius, the Patriarch of Constantinople, for attempting to evade the council of Chalcedon in his attempt to bring the Monophysites back under control. Acacius had advised Emperor Zeno to issue a statement, the Henotikon (the \"act of union\"; 482), which was an attempt to reconcile the differences between the supporters of Orthodoxy and of Monophysitism. But the Henotikon failed to insist upon Chalcedon as the standard of orthodoxy, and the Council of Chalcedon, because of its endorsement of the Tome of Pope Leo I, had become a mark of the prestige of the Roman See. Acacius's apparent attempt to ignore Chalcedon was seen as an insult against Rome's claim to be the gold standard of orthodoxy. By the time the monks arrived in Constantinople, the political landscape changed and Emperor Justin's policies were directed more to the west than to the east where the Monophysites were dominant. This policy led him, in 519, to accede to Rome's demand that Chalcedon be the official christological confession of the empire. He received the emissaries from Rome in triumphal procession, and Patriarch John of Constantinople signed documents ending the thirty-five-year-old schism. Thus, when the Scythian monks arrived on the scene urging that the resolutions of Chalcedon needed to be supplemented with their Theopaschite formula, no one was willing to listen. The Scythian monks' views were interpreted as an attack on the Council of Chalcedon and thus a threat to the newly established reunion between Rome and Constantinople. A bishop from North Africa named Possessor, who was in Constantinople at the same time as the Scythian monks, also opposed their christological position by citing Faustus of Riez, whom the Scythian monks accused of the Pelagian heresy.\n", "title": "Scythian Monks", "pid": "p_3375" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "Initially, she began writing her own pop songs, especially after a 1994 motorcycle accident in Italy left her immobile for several months, and was signed by Sony Canada,", "indices": [ 233, 402 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "With headquarters in Toronto, sales offices in Vancouver and Montreal and a National distribution centre in Whitby, Ontario,", "indices": [ 441, 565 ], "passage": "Sony Canada" } ], "question_links": [ "Sony Canada" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 487, "text": "Toronto", "passage": "sony canada", "end": 494 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "Where is the headquarters located for the company that signed Kreviazuk following a motorcycle accident?", "qid": "q_7848" }, { "context": [ { "text": "In the summer of 2003, Chantal met Canadian singer-songwriter Avril Lavigne", "indices": [ 805, 880 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Avril Ramona Lavigne ( , ; born September 27, 1984) ", "indices": [ 0, 52 ], "passage": "Avril Lavigne" } ], "question_links": [ "Avril Lavigne" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 73, "text": "1984", "passage": "avril lavigne", "end": 77 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "What year was the person who Chantal met in the summer of 2003 born?", "qid": "q_7849" }, { "context": [ { "text": ", Under My Skin (2004):", "indices": [ 1040, 1063 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "They co-wrote six songs for Lavigne's sophomore album, Under My Skin (2004)", "indices": [ 987, 1062 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": " It has sold more than 10 million copies worldwide", "indices": [ 630, 680 ], "passage": "Under My Skin (Avril Lavigne album)" } ], "question_links": [ "Under My Skin (Avril Lavigne album)" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 692, "text": "more than 10 million", "passage": "under my skin (avril lavigne album)", "end": 712 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "How many copies were sold of the album by Avril Lavigne that Chantal co-wrote six songs for?", "qid": "q_7850" }, { "context": [ { "text": "Chantal also wrote for Kelly Clarkson's breakthrough album \"Breakaway\"", "indices": [ 1640, 1710 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Kelly Brianne Clarkson", "indices": [ 0, 22 ], "passage": "Kelly Clarkson" } ], "question_links": [ "Kelly Clarkson" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 34, "text": "Brianne ", "passage": "kelly clarkson", "end": 42 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "What is the middle name of the artist whose breakthrough album \"Breakaway\" Chantal wrote for?", "qid": "q_7851" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 49, 66 ], "target": "Chantal Kreviazuk" }, { "indices": [ 194, 197 ], "target": "Pop music" }, { "indices": [ 199, 203 ], "target": "Rock music" }, { "indices": [ 390, 401 ], "target": "Sony Canada" }, { "indices": [ 559, 568 ], "target": "Television show" }, { "indices": [ 867, 880 ], "target": "Avril Lavigne" }, { "indices": [ 1042, 1055 ], "target": "Under My Skin (Avril Lavigne album)" }, { "indices": [ 1380, 1389 ], "target": "Rich Girl (Gwen Stefani song)" }, { "indices": [ 1396, 1408 ], "target": "Gwen Stefani" }, { "indices": [ 1430, 1455 ], "target": "Love.

Chantal later released another album in 1999, before being featured in a range of soundtracks to films and TV series. Chantal began writing for other artists in 2001, where she co-wrote the song \"Always and Forever\" for Eleanor McCain. However, it was only in 2004 that Chantal started writing for more artists and received recognition as a songwriter. In the summer of 2003, Chantal met Canadian singer-songwriter Avril Lavigne, they formed a relationship of mutual respect and sisterhood, and eventually became songwriting partners. They co-wrote six songs for Lavigne's sophomore album, Under My Skin (2004): \"Slipped Away,\" \"Forgotten,\" \"Together,\" \"How Does It Feel,\" \"He Wasn't\" and \"Who Knows.\" Kreviazuk described \"He Wasn't\" as \"a super-fun, punk, screw-you-to-boys song,\" while \"Forgotten\" is a driving rock song inspired by similarly vibed music Lavigne was consumed with at the time. Also in 2004, Chantal co-wrote \"Rich Girl\", for Gwen Stefani's solo debut album, \"Love. Angel. Music. Baby.\", along with Dr. Dre, Jerry Bock, Mark Batson, Kara DioGuardi, Mike Elizondo, Sheldon Harnick and Eve. The song became a chart success, reaching the top-ten in over fifteen countries. Chantal also wrote for Kelly Clarkson's breakthrough album \"Breakaway\" in the end of 2004, sharing writing credits for the tracks \"Where is Your Heart\" and \"Walk Away\". In 2005, Chantal's co-writing song \"He Wasn't\" was released as Lavigne's final single from \"Under My Skin\", receiving a moderate impact on the charts and reaching only the top-forty in some countries.

By August 22, he led the Giants in preseason carries. He entered the season as the first option third down back, ahead of Wheatley. In the September 30 contest against the Minnesota Vikings, John Randle picked fights with some of the Giants, including Elias. Elias suffered turf toe in that game and it affected him in the next as well. He also had an October ankle injury, which consisted of both a sprain and a bone chip. That injury kept him out of the lineup, making Wheatley the third down back by default. Elias did not get his third down role back until mid-November. When he finally returned to this role, he was able to perform as needed. However, he was soon suffering from a torn posterior cruciate ligament and a damaged meniscus in need of surgery and was lost for the season. He had immediate November surgery, which revealed that the ligament was 90% torn, but would heal on its own. It kept him out of the lineup for the rest of the season, however.

Gerhard Vollmer is often thought of as a bridge but, despite his education and residence in Germany, he largely works in the Anglo-American tradition, particularly pragmatism, and is famous for his development of Konrad Lorenz's and Willard Van Orman Quine's idea of evolutionary epistemology. On the other hand, one scholar who has attempted to give a more continental account of the philosophy of biology is Hans Jonas. His \"The Phenomenon of Life\" (New York, 1966) sets out boldly to offer an \"existential interpretation of biological facts\", starting with the organism's response to stimulus and ending with man confronting the Universe, and drawing upon a detailed reading of phenomenology. This is unlikely to have much influence on mainstream philosophy of biology, but indicates, as does Vollmer's work, the current powerful influence of biological thought on philosophy.

At the Yale School of Drama he became a prot\u00e9g\u00e9 and friend of Robert Brustein. At the completion of his course work he stayed at Yale for four years as an Assistant Professor. While at Yale, Landesman got to know novelist Jerzy Kosinski and he worked with Kosinski on two of his novels, Being There and The Devil Tree. Landesman was involved as an editor, helping Kosinski, not a native speaker of English, with his English syntax and writing. While at Yale Landesman was also involved in managing a private mutual fund and a racehorse he had bought. In 1977 he left to focus more time on his private investment fund, which he ran for many years. He also got involved in Broadway theater and he was heavily involved in the genesis and development of \"Big River\" (1985 Tony, Best Musical), a musical based on Huckleberry Finn. Landesman's involvement included persuading Roger Miller to write the music for the show. The show ultimately won seven Tonys and ran for over 1,000 performances on Broadway over two and a half years. This success attracted the attention of James H. Binger who shared two passions with Landesman: Broadway theater and horseracing. Binger owned the Jujamcyn Theatre group of five theatres, four of which were then dark. Binger and Landesman made a deal for Landesman to become President of Jujamcyn in 1987 with the inclusion of an option for Landesman to purchase Jujamcyn upon Binger's death. After taking the helm at Jujamcyn he shifted its business model away from the historical focus of renting of theatre facilities to shows and into a more active posture as a combination of a theater owner and a developer of new plays. Other theater owners have followed this pattern. After joining Jujamcyn Landesman has produced Broadway shows, the most notable of which include: \"\" (1993 and 1994 Tony, Best Play), and \"The Producers\" (2001 Tony, Best Musical).

It's got benevolent energies, but not the more primal kind needed to renew the standard Western images and archetypes.\" In an entirely negative critique, film critic Jay Scott of The Globe and Mail said the all too familiar \"manipulative Star Wars-style score is the only novelty on tap in Silverado, which has a plot too drearily complicated and arid to summarize\". Left equally unimpressed was Dave Kehr of the Chicago Reader. Commenting on director Kasdan's style, he said his \"considerable skills as a plot carpenter seem to desert him as soon as the story moves to the town of the title.\" As far as the supporting cast was concerned, he dryly noted, \"none of them assumes enough authority to carry the moral and dramatic center of the film.\" Giving Silverado 4 out of 5 stars, author Ian Freer of Empire, thought the film was the \"kind of picture that makes you want to play cowboys the moment it is over.\" He exclaimed, \"Whereas many of the westerns from the \u201870s try a revisionist take on the genre, Silverado offers a wholehearted embracing of western traditions.\"\n", "title": "Silverado (film)", "pid": "p_3413" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "It is used to repair defects that result in the physiology of hypoplastic left heart syndrome even though both ventricles are functioning normally", "indices": [ 247, 393 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "95% of untreated infants with HLHS die in the first weeks of life.\n\nEarly survival has improved since the introduction of the Norwood procedure.

A legend says that in its place there used to be a settlement of robbers who attacked travelling merchants. The Opolski Prince, Casimir (1229/30) of the Piasts is said to have conquered that fortalice, wiped out the robbers and had the hunting palace erected in that place, which over the years grew into a magnificent castle around which the city of Bielsko developed. The oldest part of the Castle dates back to 14th century. Over the next centuries the Castle gradually developed and transformed. It is a city castle in its nature, incorporated into the system of Bielsko fortifications from the beginning, at the same time providing their strongest section. Over the centuries it performed the function of a Silesian border-stronghold, first guarding the borders of Cieszyn and O\u015bwi\u0119cim district duchies and then in the second half of the 15th century it protected the Czech and Polish state border and from 1526 - the Austrian-Polish border. Starting from the close of the 16th century, its defensive role was declining and the Castle gradually transformed into a nobleman\u2019s mansion. The present appearance of the castle dates back to the last, thorough reconstruction undertaken in the second half of the 19th century, which entirely wiped out its previous characteristics of style. During the years 1899-1973, in place of brick breast wall presently seen on the east part of the Castle, there used to be a parade of bazaars, constituting an attractive architectural foundation for the body of the Castle. The bazaars were pulled down in connection with widening of Zamkowa Street. The Castle erected by Piasts ruling over the Cieszyn Dutchy was one of their residences for over two centuries. From 1572 it was the administrative and commercial centre of the independent class-based Bielsko state, governed by representatives of nobleman\u2019s families of the Promnitzes, Schaffgotsches, Sunneghs, Solmses and Haugwitzes. In 1752, the position of that state was raised to the position of duchies which went into the rule of the Su\u0142kowskis family. The Bielsko Dutchy existed until 1849, when Austria introduced modern administrative division, thus doing away with old feudal structures and was incorporated into Bielsko District Starosty. The Castle itself and numerous estates in the vicinity of the city remained in the possession of the Su\u0142kowskis until 1945. After World War II the Castle was taken over by the Polish State as the property left by the Germans and was facilitated as the seat of many cultural institutions. Since 1983 the Castle sole usufructary has been the national Museum in Bielsko-Bia\u0142a, subordinated to Silesian local government in Katowice.\n", "title": "Bielsko-Bia\u0142a Museum and Castle", "pid": "p_3421" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "He was forced to resign from the gymnasium in 1887", "indices": [ 994, 1044 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "The Lithuanian press ban () was a ban on all Lithuanian language publications printed in the Latin alphabet in force from 1865 to 1904", "indices": [ 0, 134 ], "passage": "Lithuanian press ban" } ], "question_links": [ "Lithuanian press ban" ], "answer": { "answer_value": "22", "answer_unit": "years", "type": "value" }, "question": "How long after the adoption of the Lithuanian press ban did Kriau\u010di\u016bnas resign from the gymnasium?", "qid": "q_7941" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 58, 67 ], "target": "Suvalkija" }, { "indices": [ 81, 102 ], "target": "Marijampol\u0117 Gymnasium" }, { "indices": [ 107, 128 ], "target": "Sejny Priest Seminary" }, { "indices": [ 180, 201 ], "target": "Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Mohilev" }, { "indices": [ 218, 269 ], "target": "Saint Petersburg Roman Catholic Theological Academy" }, { "indices": [ 416, 436 ], "target": "University of Warsaw" }, { "indices": [ 780, 800 ], "target": "Lithuanian press ban" }, { "indices": [ 841, 855 ], "target": "Latin alphabet" }, { "indices": [ 887, 902 ], "target": "Cyrillic script" }, { "indices": [ 935, 940 ], "target": "Au\u0161ra" }, { "indices": [ 945, 951 ], "target": "Varpas" }, { "indices": [ 1122, 1142 ], "target": "Justice of the peace" }, { "indices": [ 1416, 1430 ], "target": "Vincas Kudirka" }, { "indices": [ 1682, 1693 ], "target": "World War I" }, { "indices": [ 1722, 1731 ], "target": "Yaroslavl" } ], "text": "Kriau\u010di\u016bnas was born into a well-off Lithuanian family in Suvalkija.

However, the stipend obligated him to work at the Archdiocese of Mogilev. Therefore, he declined the final ordination to priesthood and attended University of Warsaw for a year to get a teaching diploma. He then returned to Lithuania and became a teacher at the Marijampol\u0117 Gymnasium. He taught Latin, Lithuanian, German and Greek languages and encouraged his students, many of whom later became prominent figures in independent Lithuania, to be proud of their Lithuanian identity and heritage.

The match concept involved a 15 foot tall steel cage surrounding the wrestling ring. The competitors, so far always four, would each be attached by the wrist to a long chain where the other end is attached to the cage. The object of the match is to reach the key to the lock that is hung from the cage. Once a wrestler has the key he is able to unlock himself and climb out of the cage, thus escaping the match. The last man left in the ring would be forced to unmask and reveal his real name if he is masked, or have his hair shaved totally off if he is unmasked, as per the Luchas de Apuestas traditions. For the match Rayo de Jalisco, Jr. and Cien Caras, Jr. both risk their mask on the outcome while Pirata Morgan and M\u00e1scara A\u00f1o 2000, Jr. risk their hair. Of the four wrestlers involved M\u00e1scara A\u00f1o 2000, Jr. has only lost one Apuestas match, which forced him to unmask, while Pirata Morgan has lost a number of Apuestas matches and thus been shaved bald on multiple occasions in his 30-plus year career. Cien Caras, Jr. and M\u00e1scara A\u00f1o 2000, Jr. had at this point been teaming together since 2007, forming Los Capos Junior along with Hijo de M\u00e1scara A\u00f1o 2000, with no storyline signs of tension or friction between the two before the match was announced. Rayo de Jalisco, Jr. had not worked for IWRG on a regular basis since 2006 and not worked for IWRG in the months leading up to the Prisi\u00f3n Fatal show, making his inclusion in the steel cage match a bit of a surprise. Rayo de Jalisco, Jr. had been involved in a long running storyline feud with Los Capos, including M\u00e1scara A\u00f1o 2000, Jr.'s father M\u00e1scara A\u00f1o 2000, the storyline father of Cien Caras, Jr., Cien Caras and Universo 2000, but that storyline had up until the time of the show being announced only sporadically involved the second generation Capos, primarily when Rayo de Jalisco, Jr. teamed up with his son Rayman to take on the senior/junior M\u00e1scara A\u00f1o 2000s. Pirata Morgan and his sons had been a regular worker for IWRG for several years and had at times wrestled Los Capos Junior, but this had never escalated into a long running storyline feud. The first real interaction between the factions in the main event of the Prisi\u00f3n Fatal show happened on March 10, 2013 during the main event of an IWRG event where Cien Caras, Jr. and M\u00e1scara A\u00f1o 2000, Jr. teamed up with Hijo de M\u00e1scara A\u00f1o 2000 to take on the team of Hijo de Pirata Morgan, Pirata Morgan and Electroshock. During the match Cien Caras, Jr. used an illegal low blow on Hijo de Pirata Morgan to win the first fall for his team, taking advantage of the fact that all six competitors were in the ring at the same time, distracting the referee. During the second fall Pirata Morgan tried to gain a measure of revenge for his son and pulled Cien Caras, Jr.'s mask off, but this illegal move was noticed by the referee who disqualified his team for the overall loss.

He attended the trial and was seen by the directors of the club as being a player with exceptional talent, after Wigan offered him a spot in their top level side he offered his home town club St. Helens the chance to sign him but they passed and he then signed for Wigan in 1955 for \u00a3150. He made his first representative later that year, appearing for Lancashire against New Zealand. He represented Rest of the World in the 11-20 defeat by Australia at Sydney Cricket Ground on 29 June 1957, and represented Great Britain & France in the 37-31 victory over New Zealand at Carlaw Park, Auckland on 3 July 1957. After signing for Wigan he quickly linked up with Welsh Billy Boston, and formed one of the most devastating right-hand side threequarters partnerships of modern times. Ashton played right-, i.e. number 3, in the 8-13 defeat by Oldham in the 1956\u201357 Lancashire County Cup Final during the 1957\u201358 season at Station Road, Swinton on Saturday 19 October 1957. He played and was captain in the 13\u20139 victory over Workington Town in the 1957\u201358 Challenge Cup Final during the 1957\u201358 season at Wembley Stadium, London on Saturday 10 May 1958, in front of a crowd of 66,109, such was the impact of both Ashton and Boston it led to Ashton being promoted as captain of the Wigan side after just two years at the club at the age of 22. It was a position he would go on to hold for the next twelve years. He made his international d\u00e9but at the age of 22 for the Great Britain side against France in 1957. He would go on to collect a total of 26 caps for the Great Britain side with his first Southern Hemisphere tour coming in 1957 as the British side competed in the World Cup. He was a true professional in every sense, being sent off just twice in his whole career and due to his professionalism, talent and intelligence he would go on to achieve a long and distinguished footballing career. Ashton's honours and achievements are nothing short of impressive, with 3 victorious Wembley Stadium Challenge Cup finals (out of a possible six), a Championship in 1960, a Lancashire Challenge Cup and two Lancashire League Championships as well as a BBC Floodlit trophy. He played , and was captain in Wigan's 30-13 victory over Hull F.C. in the 1958\u201359 Challenge Cup Final during the 1958\u201359 season at Wembley Stadium, London on Saturday 9 May 1959, in front of a crowd of 79,811.\n", "title": "Eric Ashton", "pid": "p_3424" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "The first time that Hardesty's name appeared on a single was with the Canadian vocal quartet the Diamonds, \"Don't Let Me Down\" (also known as \"Chick-Lets\"), which was recorded on March 4, 1958, and released the following month as Mercury 71291.", "indices": [ 397, 641 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "The first time that Hardesty's name appeared on a single was with the Canadian vocal quartet the Diamonds, \"Don't Let Me Down\"", "indices": [ 397, 523 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "The Diamonds" ], "answer": { "answer_value": "no", "type": "binary" }, "question": "Did \"Don't Let Me Down\" win any awards?", "qid": "q_7945" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 84, 96 ], "target": "Mickey Baker" }, { "indices": [ 193, 207 ], "target": "Cosimo Matassa" }, { "indices": [ 236, 248 ], "target": "Wing Records" }, { "indices": [ 266, 281 ], "target": "Mercury Records" }, { "indices": [ 367, 395 ], "target": "Ace Records (United Kingdom)" }, { "indices": [ 447, 453 ], "target": "Single (music)" }, { "indices": [ 494, 502 ], "target": "The Diamonds" }, { "indices": [ 684, 697 ], "target": "New York City" }, { "indices": [ 703, 713 ], "target": "Hank Jones" }, { "indices": [ 872, 884 ], "target": "Philadelphia" }, { "indices": [ 1057, 1069 ], "target": "King Records (United States)" }, { "indices": [ 1113, 1128 ], "target": "Federal Records" }, { "indices": [ 1256, 1269 ], "target": "Instrumental" } ], "text": "Hardesty's solo recordings began in 1957; the first two, organized by the guitarist Mickey Baker, were never released are not known to exist.

Founded in 1966 as Lethbridge Air Service, Time Air flew a variety of turboprop aircraft and also operated jet service as well with Fokker F28 Fellowship twin jets. In February\u00a01976, the Official Airline Guide (OAG) listed up to eight round trip flights a day operated by Time Air nonstop between Lethbridge and Calgary with Fokker F27 Friendship and de Havilland Twin Otter turboprops. According to the November\u00a015, 1979 edition of the OAG, Time Air was operating up to ten flights a day nonstop to Calgary with DHC-6 Twin Otter and Short\u00a0330 turboprop aircraft. By April\u00a01985, the airline was operating larger Dash\u00a07 turboprops on the Lethbridge-Calgary route in addition to the Short\u00a0330 aircraft with up to nine flights a day. In 1995, Time Air was flying the Fokker F28 twin jet on a daily basis between Calgary and Lethbridge in addition to other flights operated on the route with Dash\u00a08 turboprops. This appears to have been one of the few times that Lethbridge had scheduled passenger jet service. Time Air was also flying at this time as a Canadian Partner air carrier as part of a code sharing agreement with Canadian Airlines International (formerly CP Air).

Air BC also operated British Aerospace BAe Jetstream 31 between Lethbridge and Calgary at one point. Time Air operated other flights as well from Lethbridge including direct service to Vancouver via an intermediate stop in either Kelowna or Penticton, British Columbia during the 1980s and also nonstop service in 1988 to Great Falls, Montana. In 1993, Time Air and Ontario Express began operating as Canadian Regional Airlines on behalf of Canadian Airlines International which then eventually acquired Time Air and merged the airline with Ontario Express. By 1999, Time Air was operating Dash\u00a08 turboprops as well as Fairchild Swearingen Metroliner on its flights to Calgary as Canadian Regional while Alberta Citylink was flying BAe Jetstream 31 turboprops on its services to Calgary as Air Canada Connector.\n", "title": "Lethbridge Airport", "pid": "p_3426" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": ", Goodrum worked with Steve Perry on his solo debut", "indices": [ 458, 509 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "In 1984, following the release of Frontiers and the tour supporting this effort, Perry released his first solo album,", "indices": [ 5270, 5387 ], "passage": "Steve Perry" } ], "question_links": [ "Steve Perry" ], "answer": { "answer_value": "35", "answer_unit": "years", "type": "value" }, "question": "How old was Perry when he began his solo career?", "qid": "q_7948" }, { "context": [ { "text": "Goodrum worked with Steve Perry on his solo debut, Street Talk.

Australian driver Warwick Brown used a T332 to win the 1975 Tasman Series as well as the 1975 New Zealand Grand Prix. In doing so he became the only Australian driver to ever win the Tasman Series. New Zealand driver Ken Smith also used a Lola T332 to win the 1976 New Zealand Grand Prix. Ken Smith had obtained Redman's 1974 US winning chassis and a couple of extremely powerful US F5000 chev engines. Lawrence, after a serious accident in the 72 NZGP regained competitive form in a new T332 in the 1974 Tasman and by 1975 had upgraded his chassis to the specs of Andretti's US car and running with real sponsorship from Malboro, Singapore Airlines and Wix, was Warwick Brown's most serious rival during the 1975 Tasman. As a side note, both the 1975 and 1976 New Zealand Grands Prix were held at Pukekohe Park Raceway. It was generally thought in the 1975 Tasman the two best drivers, Graham MacRae in a MacRae GM2 and Chris Amon in a Talon (a modified version of the GM2) were very much at a disadvantage compared with Lawrence, Brown and Smith in the Lola 332T, although to some extent that was compensated by the very fast Firestone F5000 tyres used by McRae for the last time in NZ which meant MacRae took pole or deadheated for pole time in the four kiwi rounds of the last Tasman. MacRae himself found his own T332 far faster than his GM2 in the 1974/75 US Travellers Cheque F5000 series. Although not able to equal the engine preparation of the Haas or Parnelli teams running at F1 level, even in 1975 at Watkins Geln, Lagua Seca and Long Beach, McRae in a T332 was still as quick as Jarier or Unser while his T332 lasted. In Australasia the T400 never matched the T332 although after its disastrous 1975 series, Max Stewarts T400 was often competitive in 1976 and 1977. In the Shellsport F5000 series in 1975, Peter Gethin and Pilete's T400 was probably quicker than the best T332s of Guy Edwards and Ian Ashley and in 1976 Keith Holland in a T400 often matched Edward's and David Purley 3.6 March and Chevron cars.

At this time he also actively ran his family's estates throughout the country. In the 1930s, he became close associates with leading members of the anti-French National Bloc coalition such as future presidents Hashim al-Atassi and Shukri al-Kuwatli. He remained a longtime supporter of the former, but often quarreled with the latter, whom he accused of being too authoritarian. In 1941 the French appointed him Prime Minister and Acting President, having had no success in finding a viable candidate since the resignation of the nationalist Atassi in 1939. However he was replaced 5 months later with a French loyalist, Taj al-Din al-Hasani. Azm served repeatedly in parliament and in the cabinet from 1943 to 1947. He became a focus of opposition when he resigned from the cabinet in 1945 and lead the forces opposed to Kuwatli's drive to amend the constitution to allow himself a second term in office. Kuwatli prevailed, and Azm ran against him in 1947 and lost. However he accepted the position of envoy to France and served in that capacity for a year. He concluded successful arms purchases from France and later from the Soviet Union. In May 1948, Azm agreed to form a multi-party cabinet under Kuwatli which served until March 1949. He allied himself with France and the United States and attempted to obtain loans from them for domestic development. He traveled frequently to attend United Nations assemblies on the Palestinian problem. Azm clashed with members of the military, especially Chief of Staff Husni al-Za'im. The latter launched a coup d'\u00e9tat on 29 March 1949 and imprisoned both Azm and president Kuwatli. When Za'im was overthrown five months later, Azm returned to parliament as deputy for Damascus and became minister of finance. He was also elected into the Constituent Assembly that drafted a new constitution for Syria. He became Prime Minister again under Hashim al-Atassi's second administration, in June 1950, heading three cabinets between then and 1951. Azm closed the border to Lebanese goods in an attempt to prevent the crash of domestic Syrian industry due to rampant Lebanese imports. He also clashed repeatedly with the military because he refused to appoint officers in any of his cabinets, and always reserved the defense portfolio for himself. He also clashed with pro-Hashemite elements in Syrian politics that advocated union with Iraq. Socialists distrusted him because of his aristocratic and wealthy Ottoman background. Azm left the public arena from 1951 to 1954 in protest over the coup of Adib al-Shishakli which toppled Atassi's democratic administration.\n", "title": "Khalid al-Azm", "pid": "p_3438" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "Good Night Sweetheart", "indices": [ 1924, 1945 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Betty then wishes Vallee good night.

However Hanson is a small bug, so comically has to tug at it to get it in the room, whilst a big hippo comically only carries a stool. Betty then hands the rabbit some sheet music, but the rabbit says that he only plays \"by ear\". However, when he starts to play, he comically uses his ears to play the piano. Betty then requests for a singer whilst she plays. All of the animals decline her request. Until a picture of Rudy Vallee from a book of sheet music comes to life and says he will sing. Betty then asks Vallee is the songs will be old or new, Vallee then says that he'll sing songs that they will all know; and he'll sing them with the bouncing ball. His first song that he sings is \"Deep Night\", with footage of beaches and rainforests accompanying the song . The second song that he sings is \"A Little Kiss Every Morning\", with footage of a painting firstly showcasing multiple species of birds kissing, then transitioning to babies and their mothers, then to young couples, and then to elderly couples.

Tsangyang Gyatso enjoyed a lifestyle that included drinking, the company of women, and writing love songs. In 1702, he refused to take the vows of a Buddhist monk. The regent, under pressure from the Emperor and Lhazang Khan of the Khoshut, resigned in 1703. In 1705, Lhazang Khan used the sixth Dalai Lama's escapades as excuse to take control of Lhasa. The regent Sanggye Gyatso, who had allied himself with the Dzungar Khanate, was murdered, and the Dalai Lama was sent to Beijing. He died on the way, near Kokonor, ostensibly from illness but leaving lingering suspicions of foul play. Lhazang Khan appointed a new Dalai Lama who, however, was not accepted by the Gelugpa school. Kelzang Gyatso was discovered near Kokonor and became a rival candidate. Three Gelug abbots of the Lhasa area appealed to the Dzungar Khanate, which invaded Tibet in 1717, deposed Lhazang Khan's pretender to the position of Dalai Lama, and killed Lhazang Khan and his entire family.

Porter went to see Presley's first rehearsal there, and found three stage monitors hanging high above the stage, with only one working. The hotel's engineers did not get the other two to work, so Porter had some of his own Shure Vocal Master loudspeakers brought over from the recording studio. He laid the column loudspeakers on their sides at the front lip of the stage and propped them up to aim at Presley, who was very happy with the result. Presley insisted upon having Porter mix his live show in January even though he was a recording engineer with no previous experience in live sound. Porter quickly learned about acoustic feedback during the first song, but backstage after the show, film stars and musical artists kept complimenting Presley, telling him that Porter\u2019s concert sound was \"just like the album\". Porter mixed Presley's live concerts from then on. Presley paid Porter well for a touring sound engineer; a 1974 contract for nearly two weeks of touring during September\u2013October netted Porter $2,600, an amount equivalent to $ in current value. Porter recorded several of these shows in the mid-1970s, released as albums, and witnessed firsthand Presley's physical decline from drug abuse. In 1975, Presley's doctors advised him to exercise more, so he had a racquetball court built at his mansion Graceland. Porter designed and supervised the installation of a powerful high-fidelity Electro-Voice loudspeaker sound system for the racquetball court and an adjoining lounge. On tour, Porter specified the best-sounding, most roadworthy equipment that existed: he used a Midas PRO4 mixing console and UREI equalizers. The tour was supported by Clair Brothers, who supplied all the audio gear and a monitor engineer, Bruce Jackson, who designed a powerful stage monitor system for Presley's show. In August 1977, Porter was changing planes in Boston to fly to Portland, Maine, to mix a Presley concert when he received a phone call informing him that the singer had died. He attended Presley's heavily guarded funeral ceremony at Graceland. Between Presley appearances, Porter also handled sound duties for Ann-Margret in Las Vegas and on the road, under the business name Captain Audio Productions.

A Western dependence on Middle Eastern oil and the decline of British influence led to a growing American interest in the region.\n", "title": "History of the Middle East", "pid": "p_3447" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "the Sixers signed free agents Matt Geiger", "indices": [ 176, 217 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "He played in the NBA for 10 seasons from 1992\u20132002 with 3 teams: Miami Heat, Charlotte Hornets, and Philadelphia 76ers.", "indices": [ 515, 634 ], "passage": "Matt Geiger" } ], "question_links": [ "Matt Geiger" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 617, "text": "Charlotte Hornets", "passage": "matt geiger", "end": 634 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "What team did Matt Geiger play for before the 76ers?", "qid": "q_7985" }, { "context": [ { "text": "the Sixers signed free agents Matt Geiger and George Lynch", "indices": [ 176, 234 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": " Lynch was traded to the Vancouver Grizzlies along with Anthony Peeler in 1996", "indices": [ 897, 975 ], "passage": "George Lynch (basketball)" }, { "text": "He joined the Philadelphia 76ers as a free agent in 1999.\n", "indices": [ 1039, 1097 ], "passage": "George Lynch (basketball)" } ], "question_links": [ "George Lynch (basketball)" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 961, "text": "Vancouver Grizzlies", "passage": "george lynch (basketball)", "end": 980 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "What team did George Lynch Play for before the 76ers?", "qid": "q_7986" }, { "context": [ { "text": "Allen Iverson led the league in scoring averaging 26.8 points per game, and was selected to the All-NBA First Team", "indices": [ 621, 735 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "All-NBA Team" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "Were there any other 76ers on the All-NBA First team that year?", "qid": "q_7987" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 4, 22 ], "target": "1998\u201399 NBA season" }, { "indices": [ 56, 87 ], "target": "National Basketball Association" }, { "indices": [ 108, 120 ], "target": "Philadelphia" }, { "indices": [ 206, 217 ], "target": "Matt Geiger" }, { "indices": [ 222, 234 ], "target": "George Lynch (basketball)" }, { "indices": [ 274, 285 ], "target": "Rick Mahorn" }, { "indices": [ 333, 343 ], "target": "Tim Thomas (basketball)" }, { "indices": [ 348, 362 ], "target": "Scott Williams (basketball)" }, { "indices": [ 370, 385 ], "target": "1998\u201399 Milwaukee Bucks season" }, { "indices": [ 390, 401 ], "target": "Tyrone Hill" }, { "indices": [ 621, 634 ], "target": "Allen Iverson" }, { "indices": [ 717, 735 ], "target": "All-NBA Team" }, { "indices": [ 763, 771 ], "target": "1999 NBA playoffs" }, { "indices": [ 808, 821 ], "target": "1998\u201399 Orlando Magic season" }, { "indices": [ 877, 891 ], "target": "1998\u201399 Indiana Pacers season" } ], "text": "The 1998\u201399 NBA season was the 76ers 50th season in the National Basketball Association, and 36th season in Philadelphia.

The accord was to pave the way for Operation Animals, part of Operation Barclay, a plan to deceive the Axis powers into believing that the Allied invasion of southern Europe would be in Greece and not Sicily. In late 1942, with on-going Allied success in the North African Campaign, the thoughts of the military planners turned to the next target. British planners considered that an invasion of France from Britain could not take place until 1944, and the Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, wanted to use the Allied forces from North Africa to attack Europe's \"soft underbelly\". There were two possible targets for the Allies to attack. The first option was Sicily; control of the island would open the Mediterranean Sea to Allied shipping and allow the invasion of continental Europe through Italy. The second option was into Greece and the Balkans, to trap the German forces present between the British and American invaders and the Soviets. At the Casablanca Conference in January 1943 Allied planners agreed on the selection of Sicily \u2013 codenamed Operation Husky \u2013 and decided to undertake the invasion no later than July that year.

Trnka's compositional specialization appears to have been canons, a form of music at the time often sung recreationally among friends. According to Link, at least 61 canons by Trnka survive, and all but one are to lyrics by the famous librettist Metastasio. Mozart enjoyed singing canons with his friends (see \"Difficile lectu\"), and particularly liked canons with humorous scatological lyrics, of which he composed several himself (see Mozart and scatology). In the present case, Mozart evidently took two canons by Trnka and gave them new lyrics, which he probably wrote himself. Trnka's \"Tu sei gelosa, \u00e8 vero\" became Mozart's \"Leck mir den Arsch fein recht sch\u00f6n sauber\" (\"Lick me in the ass right well and clean\"), and Trnka's \"So che vanti un cor ingrato\" became Mozart's \"Bei der Hitz im Sommer e\u00df ich\" (\"In the heat of summer I eat\"). These works were mistaken as Mozart's compositions when his widow Constanze sent them as part of a bundle of canons in 1800 to the publisher Breitkopf & H\u00e4rtel, who four years later duly published them as Mozart's work.

The Association was formed in 1884 in an attempt to standardise rules and procedures. It was allied with The Football Association, becoming a member on 22 February 1909, at an FA meeting chaired by Charles Clegg, and drew on that organisation's approach to the game. As part of its efforts, the AFA directly organized both league and cup competitions as well as overseeing the operations of member leagues. In 1884, it established the American Cup, which for several decades was the highest competitive soccer competition in the United States. The weakness of the AFA lay in its refusal to expand outside the southern New England region. When a movement began to create a national governing body in 1911, the AFA found itself confronting the newly established American Amateur Football Association (AAFA), a body which quickly became national. The AFA argued that it should be recognized by FIFA. However, several member organizations defected from the AFA to the AAFA in 1912. The AAFA quickly moved to reform itself as the United States Football Association, receiving FIFA recognition in 1913. The AFA continued to run the American Cup until 1925, but by that time it had been superseded by the National Challenge Cup and National Amateur Cup.\n", "title": "American Football Association", "pid": "p_3458" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "Abbot Bruno of Toul to Rome; there, Bruno was elected pope, choosing the name Leo IX", "indices": [ 203, 287 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Abbot Bruno of Toul to Rome; there, Bruno was elected pope, choosing the name Leo IX", "indices": [ 203, 287 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Pope Leo IX (21 June 1002 \u2013 19 April 1054), born Bruno of Egisheim-Dagsburg, was Pope of the Catholic Church from 12 February 1049 to his death in 1054.", "indices": [ 0, 152 ], "passage": "Pope Leo IX" }, { "text": "On the death of Pope Damasus II in 1048, Bruno was selected as his successor by an assembly at Worms in December.", "indices": [ 3401, 3514 ], "passage": "Pope Leo IX" } ], "question_links": [ "Pope Leo IX" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 3442, "text": "Pope Damasus II", "passage": "pope leo ix", "end": 3457 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "Who was the pope before Bruno of Toul?", "qid": "q_8004" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 51, 56 ], "target": "Cluny" }, { "indices": [ 203, 208 ], "target": "Abbot" }, { "indices": [ 209, 222 ], "target": "Pope Leo IX" }, { "indices": [ 281, 287 ], "target": "Pope Leo IX" }, { "indices": [ 313, 319 ], "target": "Deacon" }, { "indices": [ 372, 378 ], "target": "Papal legate" }, { "indices": [ 382, 387 ], "target": "Tours" }, { "indices": [ 391, 397 ], "target": "France" }, { "indices": [ 440, 457 ], "target": "Berengar of Tours" }, { "indices": [ 489, 498 ], "target": "Pope Victor II" }, { "indices": [ 550, 560 ], "target": "Pope Stephen IX" }, { "indices": [ 574, 589 ], "target": "Pope Alexander II" }, { "indices": [ 640, 655 ], "target": "Agnes of Poitou" }, { "indices": [ 847, 857 ], "target": "Antipope Benedict X" }, { "indices": [ 916, 934 ], "target": "Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Florence" }, { "indices": [ 936, 947 ], "target": "Pope Nicholas II" }, { "indices": [ 993, 1010 ], "target": "Richard I of Capua" }, { "indices": [ 1151, 1161 ], "target": "Archdeacon" } ], "text": "According to some chroniclers, Hildebrand moved to Cluny after Gregory VI's death, which occurred in 1048; his declaration to have become a monk at Cluny must not be taken literally.

It is possible that Saint Maximin's Abbey in Trier once had landholds in what is now Neu-Bamberg, from which the Raugraves\u2019 landhold arose, to which belonged the porphyry crag in the Appelbach valley, upon which, about 1250, they began building the castle. When the Raugraves founded this Neue Baumburg (\"New Baumburg\") about 1200 after building the Alte Baumburg (\"Old Baumburg\"), a new village arose below it. The villagers of nearby Sarlesheim gave their old village up and moved to this new one. Also living in the village were service personnel who had to care for the lordly estate, the livestock, the grazing land and the cropfields. In a 1253 document, the stronghold's existence is witnessed for the first time. On 13 March of that year, Raugrave Heinrich I and his brother Rupprecht II, together with their cousin Konrad I from the Old Baumburg, settled the mutual arrangements for the inheritance rights to their holdings. To distinguish their new comital seat from the old castle, the Alte Baumburg on the heights at the edge of the Alsenz valley, the Raugraves named the new castle Neue Baumburg, from which developed, after various shifts in pronunciation over the centuries, to \"Neu-Bamberg\". Nevertheless, the 1253 document does not put a name to this place, but rather says: Novum castrum apud Sarlesheim (\"new castle near Sarlesheim\"). Sarlesheim was a village that lay right near what is now the village of Neu-Bamberg, but later vanished. It had its first documentary mention together with the castle in the Raugraves\u2019 1253 document. The castle is nowadays a ruin crowning the crag where it was built. It can be seen far beyond the village. Just when the Raugraves, who instituted a constituent county here on their own territory, laid the foundation stone for the complex and completed it is unknown. The document mentioned above was the first to bear witness to its past. It seems clear, though, that by that time, it had been largely completed, at least in its most important parts. Already by the late 13th century, quite a big village had arisen here. The first Jews settled here in 1276 and in 1320, Emperor Ludwig, at Raugrave of Altenbaumburg Georg II's request, afforded the village Imperial protection. The castle and the village that had by now arisen were mentioned by name in a 1285 document. On 1 October of that year, Raugrave Heinrich II transferred to his wife Adelheid, born a countess of Sayn, the castle with all its walls and mountain perimeter as a widow's seat. Another document from 1297 describes the village as a Stadt (\"town\"). The rulers allowed the townsmen such rights, freedoms and favours as those enjoyed by the Oppenheimers. Furthermore, in 1330, the king granted Neu-Bamberg the right to hold a weekly market on Mondays. This shows that the settlement was a particular candidate for fostering. In 1337, the Raugraves pledged a half share in the castle and the small town of Neu-Bamberg to Archbishop of Mainz Heinrich III against a payment of 1,300 pounds in Heller. In 1369, the Counts Palatine of the Rhine, as well as a few towns, managed to secure entry rights to the half of the town that had remained in the Raugraves\u2019 hands. After 1400, the shares in the ownership of the village were as follows: the Electorate of Mainz held a five-eighths share; the Lords of Daun/Counts of Falkenstein held a one-eighth share; the Counts of Sponheim held a two-eighths share, although by 1403, they had transferred their ownership share to Johann, Marshal of Waldeck. Neu-Bamberg formed an Amt in its own right within the Electorate of Mainz, and its territory also included the villages of Volxheim, Siefersheim, W\u00f6llstein, Gumbsheim and Pleitersheim, along with each one's outlying countryside. Electoral Mainz's Praefectura Neobaumbergensis, as this was called, existed until the French Revolution. It kept its seat at the building that later served as a school and now as the municipal hall. In 1467, Prince-Archbishop-Elector Adolf II of Mainz pledged part of Neu-Bamberg to Count Wirich VII of Daun-Falkenstein. When this part passed by way of inheritance to the Duke of Lorraine in 1661, the then Prince-Archbishop-Elector of Mainz redeemed it in 1663. When a dispute broke out in 1668 with Elector Palatine Karl Ludwig over certain thoroughfare rights through Neu-Bamberg, the Prince-Archbishop-Elector of Mainz sued the Elector Palatine at the Reichskammergericht. The ruling on the dispute was just transferred to the Counts Palatine's declared adversaries, the Margraves of Baden, who quickly assigned the whole Neu-Bamberg landhold to the Archbishop of Mainz. In the disagreement over the local lordship, the castle and the village's fortifications were destroyed. In 1717, Neu-Bamberg was lastingly assigned by treaty in 1717 to the Electorate of Mainz, thereafter becoming an Electoral Mainz Amt to which the Electoral Mainz villages of Volxheim and Siefersheim were subject, as were W\u00f6llstein, Gumbsheim and Pleitersheim, which were jointly ruled with Nassau-Saarbr\u00fccken. Mainz held the small castle town until the French conquest in the late 18th century. High jurisdiction is one of the most prominent features of mediaeval and even early-modern lordly power, with the gallows as its hallmark. Hence, it is to be understood that the execution places were to be set up in such exposed, widely visible spots as the Galgenberg (\"Gallows Mountain\") near Neu-Bamberg, which climbs up steeply right behind the Weidenm\u00fchle (mill) on the road going towards Wonsheim. The surroundings up at the hilltop where the gallows stood gives the same grim impression that came to mind when people who lived centuries ago thought of such places: bare, infertile land covered only in sparse grass, above which here and there only scanty shrubs grew. The last of the likely not few times when Neu-Bamberg was pillaged and plundered over its eventful history came in October 1796 by French Revolutionary troops. It lasted two days. Just before this event, the French had been engaging the Austrians nearby. The plunderers took all the village's livestock away with them to their camp. The Revolution of 1848 echoed lastingly in this small castle village, which in 1815 already had 478 inhabitants. An eyewitness, master tinsmith Karl Luttenberger, later told the following:One evening fire could be seen burning all round on the heights. Our townsman Johann Schlamp III, a freedom-fighter captain, fetched himself the Ries orchestra's big drum out of the dance hall, a wooden spoon from the kitchen and worked his way through the laneways in such a way that he soon had a goodly number of people behind him. Thereupon, a parade to the Schlo\u00dfberg (\"Castle Mountain\") formed\u2026 A militia was also formed, with wooden shotguns, who met one Sunday with those from F\u00fcrfeld and Wonsheim. The meeting, which had begun with much enthusiasm ended less praiseworthily: during a drinking binge, an argument, and then a fight, broke out. When in the end the movement was beaten by the Prussians, the militiamen wished they had never said or done anything. In 1866, four men from Neu-Bamberg went to war in the Prussian forces against Austria, fighting in the Austro-Prussian War, among them Philipp and Michael Bremmer, who also fought alongside 17 others from the village in the Franco-Prussian War (1870\u20131871); one of them did not come back from the latter war. It was, however, not only war and other disputes that defined village life at that time. The local stone industry was experiencing decisive growth through technical innovation. In 1898, when the Sprendlingen\u2013F\u00fcrfeld railway line was completed, stone could be shipped by rail to its various destinations. Shortly thereafter, trucks were also hauling stone cargoes. Steam engines, which drove the gravel quarries, also made it possible to increase production, as did electricity, which began to be transmitted to the village from Kreuznach in 1917. As early as 1909, Neu-Bamberg also enjoyed the modern convenience of a watermain. The village's sportsmen joined together in 1906 to form the Turn- und Sportverein (gymnastic and sport club). The First World War tore many young men from Neu-Bamberg.

After the construction of the Baku Train Station in 1883, there arose a need in a paved road that would connect the station with the city. In 1887, the first telephone exchange in Baku was built here. It gave the street its first name, Telefonnaya (Telephone Street). By the end of the nineteenth century, horsecars already ran on the street. The street itself, however, continued to be regarded as a city periphery, home to the urban poor and beggars, well into the end of the nineteenth century. In 1898, it gained importance due to the construction of the first Lutheran church in Baku. In the early twentieth century, oil magnate Musa Naghiyev had the city's first multi-family residentials built on this street. In 1913, Telefonnaya was renamed to Romanovsky Prospekt (Romanov Avenue) to mark the 300th anniversary of the Romanov rule in the Russian Empire. In 1918, after Azerbaijan became independent from Russia, it was renamed to Lindley Street after Sir William Lindley who had contributed to the infrastructural development of Czar-era Baku. In 1923, after the Bolshevik power was installed in Azerbaijan, the Soviet government decided to get rid of the \"bourgeois toponymy\" and the street was given the name 28 April (the date of Azerbaijan's sovietisation in 1920). It was gradually built up as one or two-storey courtyard-based buildings gave way to blocks of flats, or were transformed into taller buildings through superstructures. In 1934, two massive identical Stalinist-style buildings were completed at the very beginning of the street, designed by Mikayil Huseynov and Sadikh Dadashov. One of them housed the Nizami Cinema, while the other later became the head office of AzerTaj. In the 1950s, the so-called Soldier Market was removed from the former Yarmarochnaya Square to be replaced by the Samad Vurghun Park, featuring the poet's giant statue at the entrance. In 1967, the underground of the street was traversed by the first metro line, with 28 April station built nearby. In 1991, both the street and the station were renamed to 28 May to mark the anniversary of Azerbaijan's declaration of independence in 1918. Today 28 May Street is one of the largest in the city.

The town continued to flourish under the Seljuk Empire, when the Seljuk ruler Ahmad Sanjar built the city a new wall, some 5,000 paces in circumference. The town and the surrounding area suffered during the constant conflicts between the Khwarazmshahs and the Ghurids in the late 12th century, and a battle was fought there between the Ghurid ruler Ghiyath al-Din Muhammad (r. 1163\u20131202) and his Khwarazmian rival Sultan Shah (r. 1172\u20131193) in 1190. Although the town appears to have escaped the destruction of Marw al-Shahijan by the Mongols, it fell into ruin under the Timurids and was largely abandoned.\n", "title": "Marw al-Rudh", "pid": "p_3480" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "Hank Ballard, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990.", "indices": [ 1194, 1265 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Hank Ballard (born John Henry Kendricks; November 18, 1927", "indices": [ 0, 58 ], "passage": "Hank Ballard" }, { "text": "Hank Ballard, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990.

The Arundells, led by Thomas Arundell, 1st Baron Arundell of Wardour, subsequently became known as some of the most active of the Catholic landowners in England at the time of the Reformation; thus they were naturally Royalists in the English Civil War. During that conflict, Thomas Arundell, 2nd Baron Arundell of Wardour, was away from home on the King's business and had asked his wife, Lady Blanche Arundell, aged 61, to defend the castle with a garrison of 25 trained fighting men. On 2 May 1643 Sir Edward Hungerford, with 1,300 men of the Parliamentarian Army, demanded admittance to search for Royalists. He was refused and laid siege, setting about the walls with guns and mines. After five days the castle was threatened with complete destruction. Lady Arundell agreed to surrender, and the castle was placed under the command of Colonel Edmund Ludlow. Lord Arundell had died of his wounds after the Battle of Stratton, and his son, Henry 3rd Lord Arundell, next laid siege to his own castle, blew up much of it and obliged the Parliamentary garrison to surrender in March 1644.\n", "title": "Wardour Castle", "pid": "p_3484" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "One of the many spurs of Parashnath Hills (1,365.50\u00a0m), in neighbouring Giridih district, passes through the Topchanchi and Tundi areas of the district.", "indices": [ 409, 561 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Tundi CD Block has a forest area of 26,536.99\u00a0hectares", "indices": [ 1855, 1909 ], "passage": "Tundi (community development block)" }, { "text": "Topchanchi CD Block has a forest area of 8,135.19\u00a0hectares", "indices": [ 1703, 1761 ], "passage": "Topchanchi (community development block)" } ], "question_links": [ "Topchanchi (community development block)", "Tundi (community development block)" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 1904, "text": "Tundi", "passage": "tundi (community development block)", "end": 1909 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "Which area of the district is larger, Topchanchi or Tundi?", "qid": "q_8059" }, { "context": [ { "text": "The Dhangi Hills (highest peak 385.57\u00a0m) run from Pradhan Khunta to Gobindpur.", "indices": [ 630, 708 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Pradhan Khunta", "Gobindpur, Jharkhand" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "How long a distance to the Dhangi Hills run from?", "qid": "q_8060" }, { "context": [ { "text": "DVC has built two dams across the rivers.

Amplifying triode radio receivers, which had the power to drive loudspeakers, replaced weak crystal radios, which had to be listened to with earphones, allowing families to listen together. This resulted in the evolution of radio from a commercial message service to the first mass communication medium, with the beginning of radio broadcasting around 1920. Triodes made transcontinental telephone service possible. Vacuum tube triode repeaters, invented at Bell Telephone after its purchase of the Audion rights, allowed telephone calls to travel beyond the unamplified limit of about 800 miles. The opening by Bell of the first transcontinental telephone line was celebrated 3 years later, on January 25, 1915.

They were originally referred to as East, Mideast, Midwest, and West. In 1985, the Mideast designation became the Southeast, and later the South Regional in 1998. The women's tournament continued to use the Mideast terminology through 2004. In 2004, the NCAA started to identify the men's regions only by the city in which the regional semifinals and finals were played, with the same change being made for the women's tournament in 2005. The NCAA reverted to the East/South/Midwest/West designations for the men's tournament starting in 2007, but continues to designate women's regionals by their cities. Typically the cities selected will be spread throughout the country and conform roughly to the old geographic distinctions. While the regions are named for certain cities, the first and second round games are played in different cities which need not be anywhere near the regional finals. In 2005 the Austin, Texas men's regional was fed by games in Indianapolis, Indiana; Tucson, Arizona; Charlotte, North Carolina; and Worcester, Massachusetts. This is due to the \"pod\" system enacted before the 2002 tournament to minimize travel for as many teams as possible, especially in the early rounds. Any team may be sent to any region and any pod, although the tournament does try to keep teams, especially the top-seeded teams, closer to home. However, in 2004, Pittsburgh played its first two tournament games in Milwaukee and not in Buffalo or Columbus, cities to which it was closer. This was done to keep a lower-seeded team, the Wisconsin Badgers, close to its campus. Similarly, two east-coast teams, Maryland and Syracuse, traveled to Denver, where their opening round opponents were BYU and UTEP, both of which were geographically closer to Denver. In addition, in 2009, Kansas and West Virginia, the two higher seeds, traveled to Minneapolis to play their opponents North Dakota State and Dayton, although Dayton and North Dakota State are geographically closer to Minneapolis than Kansas and West Virginia. To make matters worse for both latter teams, Kansas City (Kansas) and Greensboro NC (West Virginia) were both 1st-2nd round sites that year.\n", "title": "NCAA basketball tournament selection process", "pid": "p_3501" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "West Suffield Mountain is also an important raptor migration path.", "indices": [ 690, 756 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "the sedimentary rock of the ridge and surrounding terrain has produced equally significant evidence of prehistoric life in the form of Triassic and Jurassic fossils; in particular, dinosaur tracks", "indices": [ 11152, 11348 ], "passage": "Metacomet Ridge" } ], "question_links": [], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 11316, "text": "Triassic and Jurassic ", "passage": "metacomet ridge", "end": 11338 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "What dinosaurs migrated across West Suffield Mountain?", "qid": "q_8093" }, { "context": [ { "text": "The mountain formed near the end of the Triassic Period", "indices": [ 120, 175 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": " Triassic ( ) is a geologic period and system which spans 50.6 million years from the end of the Permian Period 251.9 million years ago (Mya), to the beginning of the Jurassic Period Mya.", "indices": [ 3, 190 ], "passage": "Triassic" } ], "question_links": [ "Triassic" ], "answer": { "answer_value": "50600000", "answer_unit": "years", "type": "value" }, "question": "What year range was the mountain formed during?", "qid": "q_8094" }, { "context": [ { "text": "ubsequent faulting and earthquake activity tilted the strata, creating the cliffs and ridgeline of West Suffield Mountain.", "indices": [ 347, 469 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Earthquakes often occur in volcanic regions and are caused there, both by tectonic faults and the movement of magma in volcanoes.", "indices": [ 9952, 10081 ], "passage": "Earthquake" } ], "question_links": [ "Fault (geology)", "Earthquake" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 10050, "text": "tectonic faults and the movement of magma in volcanoes", "passage": "earthquake", "end": 10104 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "What geological events tilted the strata?", "qid": "q_8095" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 73, 79 ], "target": "Basalt" }, { "indices": [ 160, 175 ], "target": "Triassic" }, { "indices": [ 206, 220 ], "target": "North America" }, { "indices": [ 236, 242 ], "target": "Africa" }, { "indices": [ 247, 254 ], "target": "Eurasia" }, { "indices": [ 256, 260 ], "target": "Lava" }, { "indices": [ 357, 365 ], "target": "Fault (geology)" }, { "indices": [ 370, 380 ], "target": "Earthquake" }, { "indices": [ 548, 553 ], "target": "Scree" }, { "indices": [ 579, 591 ], "target": "Microclimate" }, { "indices": [ 762, 777 ], "target": "Metacomet Ridge" } ], "text": "West Suffield Mountain, like much of the Metacomet Ridge, is composed of basalt, also called traprock, a volcanic rock.

Joel grew to heavily appreciate this group of musicians, finding that they had a high-energy, rough-around-the-edges feel that Joel hoped to capture in his studio albums. During the production of Turnstiles, Joel had tried working with veteran producer Jim Guercio, who tried to have him work with members of Elton John's band, but was dissatisfied with the results, instead opting to self-produce the album using the same band that he had formed while touring. With a handful of new written material, Joel wanted to use his touring band in the studio for his next album as he had done on Turnstiles, so he sought out a new producer who would be able to cultivate the style that he was looking for. Joel initially looked to famed Beatles producer George Martin; as a long-time fan of The Beatles, he wanted him to produce his new record. Martin showed interest after the two had met, but did not want to use Joel's band, wishing instead to bring in session players. Joel, who had mostly worked with session players for his first three albums with only scattered contributions from his own backup musicians and strongly disliked the polished sound that they gave off as a result, was adamant in making use of his newly-formed band, and ultimately declined. Ultimately, Joel turned to Phil Ramone, a veteran New York City sound engineer and record producer who had recently worked with Paul Simon, another singer-songwriter, on the album Still Crazy After All These Years. According to Joel, he and Ramone met with each other at Fontana di Trevi, an Italian restaurant located near Carnegie Hall where Joel had been playing at the time. The restaurant would eventually go on to inspire the setting of \"Scenes from an Italian Restaurant\", a song on The Stranger. According to Joel, Ramone expressed an appreciation for Joel's band and their energy, and understood the reasoning behind Joel's attitude towards recording, which ultimately led him to choose Ramone as the producer for his next album.\n", "title": "The Stranger (album)", "pid": "p_3515" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "Life Love Flesh Blood is the fifth studio album by Irish singer-songwriter Imelda May.

Following musical lessons from his father (who insisted upon his singing tenor), he passed the examination for admission to the second tenors of the Liverpool Philharmonic Society on his fifteenth birthday, and in the same year took part in the concerts at the opening of the Philharmonic Hall.

Santley was apprenticed to the provision trade. He enlisted, however, as a violinist in the Festival Choral Society and the Societ\u00e0 Armonica, and as a chorus member, with his father and sister, he sang in a performance of Haydn's The Creation at the Collegiate Institution, Liverpool, in which Jenny Lind was a soloist.

Meadows, as DS Don Beech's boss, is directly in the firing line along with DI Chris Deakin and Chief Superintendent Brownlow. However unlike the other two men, Meadows survives, thanks to his connections with Scotland Yard. Chandler immediately clashed with DC Mickey Webb, who held Chandler responsible that a friend during an undercover operation was killed by the ring-leader. Later, Mickey attended a community meeting with Chief Inspector Derek Conway, who Chandler asked to go, claiming he was a community meeting, when he was actually sleeping with Webb's best friend, Kate Spears. At the end of a seemingly successful meeting, a bike pulled up and the pillion passenger threw a petrol bomb into Conway's car, which subsequently exploded, killing him. Chandler then asked the relief to stand down before a Neo-Nazi march, but unrest settled and rioters lobbed petrol bombs at Sun Hill, and a fire broke out causing an explosion, however the real bomber was PC Des Taviner, who wanted to dispose of evidence money in Conway's fund. Six officers were killed, including Spears, so Webb teamed up with Meadows to bring down Chandler. DS Debbie McAllister then got close to Chandler, and they got intimate in a bathroom during the funerals, and she later became pregnant. Webb was briefly transferred to neighbouring Barton Street, but when an old Hendon girlfriend, Anne Merrick, claimed Chandler raped her, Meadows used this to get Webb back. However, events changed when Merrick was found dead below a multi-storey, however Chandler was alibied and it was ruled suicide, due to her manic-depressive state, but it wasn't in vain. Thanks to James Chandler, the Super's brother, and two Hendon friends, DAC Gordon Cooper & Sergeant Dave Gilbert, plus word from Merrick, Chandler was caught up in a rape scandal. As DAC Cooper was convinced, Webb called Chandler to gloat that CIB would arrest him, Chandler holds his newly-wed wife McAllister hostage, who goes into premature labour, and Meadows is later held by Chandler with McAllister in his office. Ultimately facing imprisonment, humiliation and ruin, Chandler realises he has no alternative but to take his own life.

The San Diego Union-Tribune called Rizzo \"the most celebrated Padres call-up\" since Roberto Alomar debuted with the team in 1988. Rizzo's promotion was prompted by the Padres' inadequate offensive production and fielding play of veterans at first base. In his debut on June 9, 2011, against the Washington Nationals, Rizzo struck out in his first at-bat, but then proceeded to hit a triple and score a run, helping the Padres to a 7\u20133 victory. He hit his first home run on June 11 against John Lannan. After three games he was 3-for-7 with a double, triple and a home run, while he demonstrated patience in drawing four walks for a .667 on-base percentage (OBP). On July 21, 2011 Rizzo was demoted back to Triple-A, and Blanks was promoted. Rizzo had struggled with only a .143 batting average and 1 home run, striking out 36 times in 98 at-bats. Hoyer said Rizzo \"worked hard, never made excuses, and endeared himself to his teammates\" during his initial stint in the majors. Rizzo was recalled to the majors on September 4 after finishing the season at Tucson batting .331 with 26\u00a0homers and 101\u00a0RBI in 93\u00a0games.

Hoyer believed Rizzo would be the starting first baseman for the Padres in 2012 with Jes\u00fas Guzm\u00e1n as the second option.

After playing one game under Rex Hughes, the team hired John Lucas II as their new coach. At midseason, they acquired J.R. Reid from the Charlotte Hornets. Under Lucas, the Spurs would play solid basketball posting a 10-game winning streak in January, then winning eight straight in February, finishing second in the Midwest Division with a 49\u201333 record.

Henry was excluded from the contract, only his wine growers were mentioned, to whom they were assigned certain vineyards in Moson and Pozsony counties. Historians J\u00e1nos Kar\u00e1csonyi and Attila Zsoldos considered Henry was granted lands in Slavonia from his brothers sometime before 1279, during an unequal sharing; his first lands laid in Vara\u017edin County, the northwestern part of the province. There, it is presumable, he owned the castles of the late \"Farkas of Zagorje\" from the beginning, including Krapina (Korpona). Subsequently, the forts of Belec, Kostel, Vrbovec (Orbolc) and O\u0161trc (Oszterc) also belonged to his branch's property, but the time and circumstances of their acquisition are unknown. From these lands and castles on the southwestern corner of the kingdom, Henry expanded his influence over the territory, which was ruled by Joachim Gutkeled prior to that, between the rivers Drava and Sava (called Slavonia superior, \"Upper Slavonia\"), in the upcoming decades, and was considered the most powerful lord in the region by the extinction of the \u00c1rp\u00e1d dynasty in 1301.

During their family contract, Nicholas and Ivan did not renounce the possibility of their expansion into Slavonia, they both possessed landholdings and castles in the province too.

In 1891, the City of Dublin Junction Railway connected the station with Westland Row Station (now Pearse Station) on the city's South side. The City of Dublin Junction had a separate station known as Amiens Street Junction consisting of the present platforms 5, 6, and 7 (currently used by DART, Commuter and Rosslare services) with a separate street entrance. After the amalgamation of the GNR (I) at the end of the 1950s, this station became part of Amiens Street and the separate entrance fell into disuse. The City of Dublin Junction Railway allowed services to run from Amiens Street through to Westland Row to Rosslare and the South East. Services to Sligo were transferred to Westland Row (Pearse Station) running non-stop through the station in 1937, with the closure of Broadstone Station by CI\u00c9 (see also MGWR).

The settlement was founded in 1726 by Colonial English Quakers from Chester County led by entrepreneur and evangelist John Wright. Establishment of the eponymous Wright's Ferry, the first commercial Susquehanna crossing in the region, inflamed territorial conflict with neighboring Maryland but brought growth and prosperity to the small town, which was just a few votes shy of becoming the new United States' capital. Though besieged for a short while by Civil War destruction, Columbia remained a lively center of transport and industry throughout the 19th century, once serving as a terminus of the Pennsylvania Canal. Later, however, the Great Depression and 20th-century changes in economy and technology sent the borough into decline.

Given the possible demand, Buena Vista Games brought in Obsidian Entertainment, a game developer, who pitched a video game focusing on the Dwarfs' similar ancestors. DTS executives were not feeling that the two franchise launching projects were coming together well enough that they turned to Mike Disa, who worked on the Tinker Bell movie story. Disa and Evan Spiliotopoulos pitched a Lord of the Rings-style epic for the dwarfs while \"connecting seamlessly\" with the original movie, which was given permission to move forward. With interfering managers wanting a tragic back story for Dopey, Disa decided that he could not go forward. Walt Disney Animation Studios chief creative officer John Lasseter about two month later ended production on the film.\n", "title": "Seven Dwarfs", "pid": "p_3599" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "Gonz\u00e1lez-Torres was born in Gu\u00e1imaro, Cuba", "indices": [ 0, 42 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "The municipality was created in 1943", "indices": [ 404, 440 ], "passage": "Gu\u00e1imaro" } ], "question_links": [ "Gu\u00e1imaro" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 458, "text": "1943", "passage": "gu\u00e1imaro", "end": 462 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "When was the town where Gonzalez-Torres was born found?", "qid": "q_8317" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 28, 36 ], "target": "Gu\u00e1imaro" }, { "indices": [ 38, 42 ], "target": "Cuba" }, { "indices": [ 150, 161 ], "target": "Puerto Rico" }, { "indices": [ 282, 307 ], "target": "University of Puerto Rico" }, { "indices": [ 311, 319 ], "target": "San Juan, Puerto Rico" }, { "indices": [ 385, 398 ], "target": "New York City" }, { "indices": [ 474, 507 ], "target": "Whitney Museum of American Art" }, { "indices": [ 592, 607 ], "target": "Critical theory" }, { "indices": [ 707, 729 ], "target": "Pratt Institute" }, { "indices": [ 862, 897 ], "target": "International Center of Photography" }, { "indices": [ 902, 921 ], "target": "New York University" }, { "indices": [ 988, 1020 ], "target": "California Institute of the Arts" }, { "indices": [ 1072, 1076 ], "target": "German Academic Exchange Service" }, { "indices": [ 1141, 1172 ], "target": "National Endowment for the Arts" } ], "text": "Gonz\u00e1lez-Torres was born in Gu\u00e1imaro, Cuba.

These hills lay but a little way inland and not far from each other; they are very remarkable on account of their singular form of elevation which very much resembles glass houses which occasioned me giving them that name: the northern most of the three is the highest and largest. There are likewise several other peaked hills inland to the northward of these but they are not nearly so remarkable.Nearly thirty years later, Lieutenant (later Captain) Matthew Flinders sailed up the coast in the sloop Norfolk. In his report to the Governor of New South Wales, Captain John Hunter, dated 14 July 1799 he wrote:At dusk Cape Moreton bore west two or three miles, and the highest glass house, whose peak was just topping over the distant land, had opened around it at 3 degrees west or 4 degrees north. Two Haycock like hummocks distinct from any other land opened soon after a few degrees to the southward.On 26 July Flinders took two sailors and the Aborigine Bungaree and landed on the shore with the intention of climbing Mount Tibrogargan.

Clinton also renamed his group of singers Parliament (but still with the Funkadelic musicians as official members) and signed that act to the Holland-Dozier-Holland-owned record label, Invictus. Parliament released their first album Osmium in 1970. Clinton now had two groups that were actually one entity. Under the name Funkadelic, the ensemble was geared towards a rock audience, and as Parliament it was aimed at a soul music audience. Collectively, they became known as Parliament-Funkadelic, or P-Funk. Haskins contributed to P-Funk as a writer through 1972. He toured and appeared on P-Funk albums as a singer, and occasionally as a guitarist, throughout the 1970s.

Morkunas remained a vocal anti-communist his entire adult life. He served as pastor and administrator of St. Casimir\u2019s Church in Sioux City, Iowa for 39 years, retiring in 1990. At St. Casimir\u2019s, he sponsored many Lithuanian immigrant families, while extensively adding to the spiritual, artistic, educational, and material well-being of the parish and greater community. He also maintained cordial relations with the Jewish community in Sioux City, many of whom had roots in Lithuania. It was at Fr. Morkunas\u2019 invitation that the noted artist Adolfas Vale\u0161ka decorated the sanctuary of St. Casimir's with original paintings, woodwork, and stained glass. In 1988, Pope John Paul II named Morkunas an Honorary Prelate of His Holiness, with the title of Monsignor. In 1991, he was awarded an honorary Doctor of Divinity by Morningside College in Sioux City, which recognized his \u201cmonumental services to Christianity and humanity as a Roman Catholic clergyman. His steady commitment to education, in his home country, Lithuania, and his adopted country, the United States of America, adds special luster to his career.\u201d\n", "title": "Simonas Mork\u016bnas", "pid": "p_3628" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "In 1963, he had his biggest U.S. chart success with \"I Love You Because\", a cover of Leon Payne's 1950 country music hit.", "indices": [ 0, 121 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": " Al Martino recorded the most successful version of the song", "indices": [ 1284, 1344 ], "passage": "I Love You Because (song)" } ], "question_links": [ "I Love You Because (song)" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 1324, "text": "Al Martino", "passage": "i love you because (song)", "end": 1334 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "Which version of \"I Love You Because\" sold more copies, Al Martino's or Leon Payne's?", "qid": "q_8366" }, { "context": [ { "text": "He also sang the title song for the 1964 film, Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte.", "indices": [ 513, 588 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "made $4,950,000", "indices": [ 9193, 9208 ], "passage": "Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte" } ], "question_links": [ "Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 9240, "text": "$4,950,000", "passage": "hush...hush, sweet charlotte", "end": 9250 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "How much did the film that Al Martino sang the title song for in 1964 make at the box office?", "qid": "q_8367" }, { "context": [ { "text": "One of his biggest hits was \"Spanish Eyes\", achieving several gold and platinum discs for sales.

Rains and storms delayed his march, but he knew that the Duke of Hamilton in the broken ground of Westmorland was still worse off.

He then called up artillery from Hull, exchanged his local levies for the regulars who were besieging Pontefract, and set off to meet Lambert. On 12 August he was at Wetherby, Lambert with horse and foot at Otley, Langdale at Skipton and Gargrave, Hamilton at Lancaster, and Sir George Monro with the Scots from Ulster and the Carlisle Royalists (organized as a separate command owing to friction between Monro and the generals of the main army) at Hornby.

The general public developed a taste for Chinese food during the postwar restaurant boom. In 1963, the Zhongshan Workers' Club opened in the West End, showing films and running classes. The first Chinese New Year celebrations were held in Gerrard Street. The Overseas Chinese Service opened the first specialised agency to assist the Chinese in dealing with the host society by offering a translation and interpreting service. In the 1970s and 1980s, many ethnic Chinese who had settled in Vietnam for generations were forced to leave as \"boat people\" following the Vietnam War. Many settled in Lewisham, Lambeth, and Hackney, as well as elsewhere in the UK. The 1980s and 1990s saw a migration of academics and professionals from Chinatown to the suburbs of Croydon and Colindale. Since the 1980s, London's Chinatown has been transformed by Westminster City Council to become a major tourist attraction and a cultural focal point of the Chinese community in London. Today over 100,000 Chinese people live in London, and are more evenly dispersed throughout the city and its boroughs. Roughly a quarter of the Chinese population of the United Kingdom now live in London, mainly in the boroughs of Barnet, Haringey, Waltham Forest, Hackney, Southwark and Westminster. Mare Street in Hackney is the hub of a small Vietnamese community. The principal languages of the London Chinese community are Cantonese and Hakka (from the New Territories, Hong Kong, and Vietnam). There are also some speakers of Hokkien, Teochew and Hainanese. The Chinese from the People's Republic of China, Taiwan, and Singapore tend to speak Mandarin (or Putonghua).

In August 1994, Jason Rubin and Andy Gavin began their move from Boston, Massachusetts to Los Angeles, California. During the trip, Gavin and Rubin decided to create a 3D action-platform game, taking inspiration from the 16-bit era's best, including Donkey Kong Country, Mario and Sonic. Because the player would be forced to constantly look at the character's rear, the game was jokingly code-named \"Sonic's Ass Game\". The basic technology for the game and the Crash Bandicoot series as a whole was created somewhere near Gary, Indiana. The rough game theory was designed by Colorado and David Siller, the creator of Aero the Acro-Bat and . Soon afterward, Gavin and Rubin threw out their previous game design for Al O. Saurus and Dinestein, a side-scrolling video game based on time travel and scientists genetically merged with dinosaurs. After moving into the Universal Interactive Studios backlot, Gavin and Rubin met with Mark Cerny, discussed the design of the game and made an agreement to go into production. In September 1994, Gavin and Rubin decided to develop their new game for the PlayStation, after which Rubin began character design. In November 1994, Naughty Dog hired Dave Baggett, their first employee and a friend of Gavin's from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Together, Gavin and Baggett created the development tool \"Game Oriented Object LISP\" (GOOL), which would be used to create the characters and gameplay of the game.

The electropop song begins with Gaga's voice uttering the line \"It doesn't matter if you love him or capital H-I-M\" on a loop, backed by a rumbling synth sound and a humming bass. As the synths change into a beat, Gaga belts out the song's first verse, followed by the bass dropping off and the percussion-backed chorus, \"I'm beautiful in my way, 'cause God makes no mistakes; I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way\", which Jocelyn Vena from MTV likened as being \"meant to be heard in a big space. It's fast and hard-hitting.\" After the chorus she chants the line \"Don't be a drag, Just be a queen\" a number of times on top of handclaps, before moving to the second verse. After the second chorus an interlude follows, where Gaga chants the names of various communities. Sal Cinquemani from Slant Magazine felt that the interlude is a mixture of the music from American television show, Glee, and the song \"There But For the Grace of God Go I\" by Machine.

His first solo hit \"Brown Eyed Girl\" was performed but not included on the album until the reissue in 2008. M. Mark called the album \"an intelligent selection of songs that draws on six of Morrison's records and five of the musicians he learned from.\" These musicians were Bobby Bland (\"Ain't Nothing You Can Do\"), Ray Charles (\"I Believe to My Soul\"), Sam Cooke (\"Bring It On Home to Me\"), two songs by Sonny Boy Williamson II (\"Help Me\" and \"Take Your Hands Out of My Pocket\") and a cover of a Willie Dixon song, \"I Just Want to Make Love to You\", which was popularized by Muddy Waters.\n", "title": "It's Too Late to Stop Now", "pid": "p_3651" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "Booking Holdings and Expedia Group, both online travel agencies, are the largest travel agencies on the list of top earning travel companies.", "indices": [ 0, 141 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "In 1997, Jay S.

Travel agencies can be multinational companies, referred to as \"multiples\" in the United Kingdom. They can also be medium-sized organizations, referred to as \"miniples\" in the United Kingdom, or can be independent, small companies. They can be structured as a limited liability company, a sole proprietorship, or can be set up as a host, franchising, or consortium structure, such as in the case of CWT. A traditional travel agent may work for a travel agency or work freelance. Helloworld Travel is an example of a franchised travel agency, giving agents access to internal systems for product and bookings. While most point-to-point travel is now booked online, traditional agents specialize in niche markets such as corporate travel, luxury travel, cruises, complicated and important trips, and specialty trips. Other niche markets include travelers with disabilities, travelers over the age of 60, women traveling alone, LGBT tourism, the needs of residents in an upmarket commuter town or suburb, or a particular group interested in a similar activity, such as a sport. Examples include StudentUniverse and STA Travel, which specialize in youth travel, or CWT, which caters to corporate travel. Many use telecommuting to reduce overhead, and/or provide concierge services. Agents can act as \"travel consultants\" with flawless knowledge of destination regions and specialize in topics like nautical tourism or cultural tourism. Many traditional agents prefer the term \"travel advisor\" as opposed to \"travel agent\" to emphasize their advice, expertise, and connections that are of great value. Outbound travel agencies offer multi-destinations; inbound travel agencies are based in the destination and deliver an expertise on that location.\n", "title": "Travel agency", "pid": "p_3652" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "The painting was later a highlight of the Pierre Crozat collection which was acquired through Diderot's mediation by Catherine II of Russia in 1772", "indices": [ 354, 501 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Pierre Crozat" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "How long was the painting a feature of the collection before being acquired by Catherine II of Russia?", "qid": "q_8435" }, { "context": [ { "text": "In March 1931 it was part of the Soviet sale of Hermitage paintings, and bought by Andrew Mellon, as part of his founding donation to the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C.", "indices": [ 658, 838 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "hung in the Imperial Hermitage Museum", "indices": [ 539, 576 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Hermitage Museum" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "In which city was the painting before being moved to its final home?", "qid": "q_8436" }, { "context": [ { "text": "In March 1931 it was part of the Soviet sale of Hermitage paintings, and bought by Andrew Mellon", "indices": [ 658, 754 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Andrew William Mellon (; March 24, 1855\u00a0\u2013 August 26, 1937)", "indices": [ 0, 58 ], "passage": "Andrew Mellon" } ], "question_links": [ "Andrew Mellon" ], "answer": { "answer_value": "76", "answer_unit": "years", "type": "value" }, "question": "How old was Andrew Mellon when he acquired this painting?", "qid": "q_8437" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 33, 70 ], "target": "William Herbert, 3rd Earl of Pembroke" }, { "indices": [ 95, 107 ], "target": "Wilton House" }, { "indices": [ 111, 120 ], "target": "Wiltshire" }, { "indices": [ 170, 190 ], "target": "Charles I of England" }, { "indices": [ 202, 219 ], "target": "English Civil War" }, { "indices": [ 259, 275 ], "target": "Royal Collection" }, { "indices": [ 279, 293 ], "target": "Somerset House" }, { "indices": [ 396, 409 ], "target": "Pierre Crozat" }, { "indices": [ 448, 455 ], "target": "Denis Diderot" }, { "indices": [ 471, 493 ], "target": "Catherine the Great" }, { "indices": [ 560, 576 ], "target": "Hermitage Museum" }, { "indices": [ 691, 725 ], "target": "Soviet sale of Hermitage paintings" }, { "indices": [ 741, 754 ], "target": "Andrew Mellon" }, { "indices": [ 796, 819 ], "target": "National Gallery of Art" }, { "indices": [ 900, 912 ], "target": "Jan van Eyck" }, { "indices": [ 914, 931 ], "target": "Sandro Botticelli" }, { "indices": [ 937, 943 ], "target": "Titian" } ], "text": "By 1627 the painting belonged to William Herbert, 3rd Earl of Pembroke (1580-1630), and was at Wilton House in Wiltshire.

West Virginia, representing the Big East as conference champion, upset Georgia, the winner of the SEC championship game, 38\u201335. Georgia was looking for its third straight win in Atlanta in as many appearances, having won its last regular season game (against rival Georgia Tech on the Tech campus) and the SEC championship game (over LSU) at the Georgia Dome, located near the Bulldogs' Athens, Georgia campus, but West Virginia took a 28\u20130 lead in the game's first 16 minutes and withstood a furious Georgia comeback before scoring late in the fourth quarter to secure the win. Mountaineers freshman running back Steve Slaton began a career day early, running for a 52-yard score just 2:48 into the game en route to accumulating 204 yards on 26 carries against a Bulldogs defense that entered the game having allowed only 3.5 yards per carry. On the subsequent West Virginia possession, freshman quarterback Pat White accounted 56 yards of a 64-yard scoring drive, connecting with wide receiver Darius Reynaud for a three-yard touchdown pass; Reynaud caught six passes for 50 yards on the day. Just two plays into the next Bulldogs drive, running back Danny Ware lost the first of what would be three Georgia fumbles on the day, and West Virginia took just five plays to go 26 yards, scoring a touchdown on a 13-yard Reynaud run. The Mountaineers defense stymied an additional Georgia drive and forced a fumble by Georgia quarterback D.J. Shockley, setting up a 50-yard drive that culminated in Slaton's second touchdown scamper, an 18-yarder that gave West Virginia a 28-point lead just 15:50 into the game. Shockley began to have success against the Mountaineers defense in the second quarter, completing three straight passes for a total of 46 yards before running back Kregg Lumpkin, who finished the day with 67 yards on nine carries, scored from 34 yards to put Georgia on the board. After their defense forced a West Virginia punt, the Bulldogs went 91 yards in just six plays, with Thomas Brown's scoring on a 52-yard run; Brown has held largely in check the remainder of the game, totaling only 78 yards on nine carries. A long run by West Virginia fullback Owen Schmitt, who finished the day having run for 80 yards on nine carries, set up a 27-yard Pat McAfee field goal, but Shockley, who finished the day having completed 20 of 33 passes for 278 yards and having gained 62 yards on eight carries, drove his team 80 yards in under five minutes and hit wide receiver Leonard Pope, who caught six passes for 52 yards on the day, from four yards to cut the West Virginia halftime lead to 10 points. After combining to give up more than 600 yards in total offense in the first half, both defenses tightened in the second half and although Brown lost a fumble to the Mountaineers, neither team managed a score until 1:44 remained in the third quarter when Shockley hit A.J. Bryant for a 34-yard touchdown to bring the Bulldogs to within three points. White continued to play well through air and on the ground in the fourth quarter, though, and led his team on an 80-yard drive that ended when Slaton ran for a 52-yard touchdown and once more extended the West Virginia lead to ten. For the game, White completed 11 of 14 passes for 124 yards\u2014completing four passes for 64 yards to senior Brandon Myles, his leading receiver\u2014but also added 79 yards on 24 carries in contributing to his team's 386-yard rushing performance. Shockley drove his team once more, connecting with Mohamed Massaquoi, whom he four times for 43 yards on the day, to convert a crucial third down and then finding Bryan McClendon, who caught three balls for 72 yards, on a 43-yard scoring drive.

With the emergence of the novel and short stories as popular reading material, Orson F. Whitney called on fellow members to write inspirational stories. During the home literature movement, church-published magazines published many didactic stories and Nephi Anderson wrote the novel Added Upon. The generation of writers after the home literature movement produced fiction that was recognized nationally but was seen as rebelling against home literature's outward moralization. Vardis Fisher's Children of God and Maurine Whipple's The Giant Joshua were prominent novels from this time period. In the 1970s and 1980s, authors starting writing realistic fiction as faithful Mormons. Acclaimed examples include Levi S. Peterson's The Backslider and Linda Sillitoe's Sideways to the Sun. Home literature experienced a resurgence in popularity in the 1980s and 1990s when church-owned Deseret Book started to publish more fiction, including Gerald Lund's historical fiction series The Work and the Glory and Jack Weyland's novels.\n", "title": "Mormon fiction", "pid": "p_3676" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "begin his first ever full-time on-air hosting job at WHJY in Providence, Rhode Island.", "indices": [ 44, 130 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "WHJY" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "How many listeners did the station have where Lou Brutus began his first ever full time on-air hosting job?", "qid": "q_8496" }, { "context": [ { "text": "It was at this juncture that he began his trademark of closing his radio programs with a quote from writer Hunter S.

At Stowe in Buckinghamshire an obelisk was erected in memory of Wolfe's victory at Quebec in 1752, while at the death of the Duke of Cumberland in 1765 was noted by an obelisk at Englefield Green in Surrey. Thomas Coke, Earl of Leicester, Coke of Norfolk the farming pioneer has a particularly fine obelisk, set up in the park he created at Holkham in Norfolk. Sometimes an obelisk was used to mark the site of a battle such as the obelisk on the site of English Civil War battlefield at Naseby in Leicestershire. Occasionally obelisks are used as mile markers, as on the Great North Road at a mile from Westminster. In Lincoln an elaborate obelisk was set up on the High Bridge in 1762\u201363 as a conduit for dispensing water, while Anthony Salvin used obelisks as water fountains on the Belton House estates in Lincolnshire.\n", "title": "Egyptian Revival architecture in the British Isles", "pid": "p_3679" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "The band released their debut, a split with New York City's Kill Your Idols, in 2003 on Blackout!

Community leaders rallied together to fight for their neighborhoods as they circulated petitions and organized public hearings. The construction of the freeways started as scheduled despite the resistance. The numerous freeways in this era displaced many East Los Angeles residents as they had their homes and property seized. Schools, churches, and community parks were also lost from construction. One notable structure lost in Boyle Heights was Saint Isabella Church and the Catholic elementary school. The loss of Hollenbeck Park was also a devastation to the community, since there was already a shortage of parks in the area. The Divide of Highways again justified the loss of communities by contending that residents would save time using the new freeways. Boyle Heights was a densely populated area because of low mortgages that were enjoyed by Mexican Angelo families. When families were forced to give up their homes they struggled to find homes that matched in affordability. Some families were also displaced in gang ridden areas and further from the freeways that they never used.

She never really knew what transformers were. She took the job for only a few months, but she met her future husband, David Sayre. (David Sayre was a physics student who also volunteered for war service during his academic break.) They got married in 1947. Married to a scientist, she described herself as \"a camp-follower to the scientists\". She soon took up writing career, mainly of short stories, of which many were included in the Foley's and the Best American Short Stories collections. In 1949, they moved to England as David Sayre was enrolled for PhD at the University of Oxford to work under Dorothy Hodgkin (a 1964 Nobel laureate). Anne Sayre financially supported most of their financial expenses through her writings. She eventually got appointed as an editor at the Oxford University Press. David received his PhD in 1951, and in September they returned to US. In 1975, Anne revived her ambition to become a lawyer and got enrolled in New York University Law School, from where she graduated with high grades. She devoted her service in legal matters, particularly concerning environment, in Long Island. She initially served as volunteer Legal Aid lawyer in Riverhead. Later, she was appointed justice in the Head of the Harbor, a post she held until illness prompted her to resign in 1996. Since the late 1980s she had suffered from pneumonia and the complications of scleroderma, a rare form of rheumatism.

In the Soviet sphere of influence the legacy doctrine of operational maneuver was being theoretically examined to understand how a tank-led force could be used even with the threat of limited use of nuclear weapons on prospective European battlefields. The Warsaw Pact arrived at the solution of maneuver warfare while massively increasing the number of anti-tank weapons. To achieve this, Soviet military theorists such as Vasily Sokolovsky (1897-1968) realized that anti-tank weapons had to assume an offensive role rather than the traditionally defensive role of the Great Patriotic War (1941-1945) by becoming more mobile.

The Force Publique performed well on the battlefield, winning the respect of their British and Portuguese allies, as well as that of their German opponents. 1916 onwards, the Force Publique grew to reach a strength of three mobile Groupes (brigades), Kivu, Ruzizi, and Tanganyika, comprising a total of 15 battalions, from the static garrison and police force of 1914. However, it did take until late 1915 for the Force Publique to finish preparations for a large scale offensive on the German colony of German East Africa. The allied powers, the British Empire and Belgium launched a coordinated attack on the German colony, by 1916 the Belgian commander of the Force Publique, Lieutenant-General Charles Tombeur, had assembled an army of 15,000 men supported by local bearers and advanced to Kigali. Kigali was taken by 6 May 1916. The German army stationed in Burundi was forced to retreat by the numerical superiority of the Belgian army and by 17 June 1916, Burundi and Rwanda were occupied. The Force Publique and the British Lake Force then started a thrust to capture Tabora, an administrative centre of central German East Africa. The army went on to take Tabora on 19 September after heavy fighting. At the time of the Battle of Tabora in September 1916 about 25,000 men were under arms, during the war their actions were supported by more than 260,000 local bearers. In 1916 Charles Tombeur was made Military Governor of the Belgian Occupied East African Territories. After the Mahenge Offensive and the capture of Mahenge in 1917, the Belgian Congolese army controlled roughly one-third of German East Africa. After the war, as outlined in the Treaty of Versailles, Germany was forced to cede \"control\" of the Western section of the former German East Africa to Belgium.

(Purely religious points of view such as young or old earth creationism or intelligent design are not considered here.) Different factors motivated people to propose non-Darwinian evolutionary mechanisms.

Some of these scientists and philosophers, like St. George Jackson Mivart and Charles Lyell, who came to accept evolution but disliked natural selection, raised religious objections. Others, such as the biologist and philosopher Herbert Spencer, the botanist George Henslow (son of Darwin's mentor John Stevens Henslow, also a botanist), and the author Samuel Butler, felt that evolution was an inherently progressive process that natural selection alone was insufficient to explain. Still others, including the American paleontologists Edward Drinker Cope and Alpheus Hyatt, had an idealist perspective and felt that nature, including the development of life, followed orderly patterns that natural selection could not explain.\n", "title": "Alternatives to evolution by natural selection", "pid": "p_3764" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "At the beginning of the 2013\u201314 La Liga season, coach Unai Emery named Rakiti\u0107 as the new Sevilla captain", "indices": [ 0, 105 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Unai Emery Etxegoien (; born 3 November 1971", "indices": [ 0, 44 ], "passage": "Unai Emery" } ], "question_links": [ "Unai Emery" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 53, "text": "3 November 1971", "passage": "unai emery", "end": 68 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "When was the coach born that named Ivan captain before the 2013-14 season?", "qid": "q_8697" }, { "context": [ { "text": "At the beginning of the 2013\u201314 La Liga season, coach Unai Emery named Rakiti\u0107 as the new Sevilla captain.", "indices": [ 0, 106 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Emery was born in Hondarribia, Gipuzkoa, Basque Country", "indices": [ 1729, 1784 ], "passage": "Unai Emery" } ], "question_links": [ "Unai Emery" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 1771, "text": "Hondarribia, Gipuzkoa, Basque Country", "passage": "unai emery", "end": 1808 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "Where was the coach born that named Ivan captain before the 2013-14 season?", "qid": "q_8698" }, { "context": [ { "text": "At the beginning of the 2013\u201314 La Liga season, coach Unai Emery named Rakiti\u0107 as the new Sevilla captain", "indices": [ 0, 105 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Colchoneros their first league title ", "indices": [ 759, 796 ], "passage": "2013\u201314 La Liga" } ], "question_links": [ "2013\u201314 La Liga" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 788, "text": "Colchoneros", "passage": "2013\u201314 la liga", "end": 799 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "Who won championship in the year that Unai Emery named Rakitic captain?", "qid": "q_8699" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 24, 39 ], "target": "2013\u201314 La Liga" }, { "indices": [ 54, 64 ], "target": "Unai Emery" }, { "indices": [ 277, 286 ], "target": "FC Barcelona" }, { "indices": [ 383, 397 ], "target": "Rayo Vallecano" }, { "indices": [ 542, 553 ], "target": "SC Freiburg" }, { "indices": [ 575, 582 ], "target": "UD Almer\u00eda" }, { "indices": [ 618, 643 ], "target": "Santiago Bernab\u00e9u Stadium" }, { "indices": [ 757, 765 ], "target": "RCD Espanyol" }, { "indices": [ 909, 919 ], "target": "Villarreal CF" }, { "indices": [ 1220, 1235 ], "target": "Atl\u00e9tico Madrid" }, { "indices": [ 1240, 1247 ], "target": "Levante UD" }, { "indices": [ 1352, 1379 ], "target": "La Liga Player of the Month" } ], "text": "At the beginning of the 2013\u201314 La Liga season, coach Unai Emery named Rakiti\u0107 as the new Sevilla captain.

At the anterior tip they are narrow and triangular in cross-section. They form the classic rhynchosaurian beak, and there is evidence on the fossil showing that it was probably covered by a keratinous sheath. The maxilla carries a massive tooth plate and has numerous foramina for nerves and blood vessels to reach the gums through. Many of the posterior and lateral teeth are unworn from use, unlike the more anterior teeth which have been worn smooth. The nasal bones are large, but no wider than the frontals. They form a pointed posterior tip with a strong zigzag suture. The lacrimal ducts are clearly visible next to the orbit, while the lacrimal bones form much of the interior surface of the orbit. The prefrontal forms a thick eyebrow ridge, possibly as protection from predators. The jugal is complex, with four branches, and forms the anterior and ventral margins of the lower temporal fenestra. The dorsal branch forms a strong pillar behind the orbit, which has a more pronounced crest than other rhynchosaurs. The frontals are very long, and form a dish shape posteriorly. The postfrontal is triangular and forms part of the back of the orbit. The parietals are fused and have a high narrow ridge dorsally, with lateral wings extending across the upper temporal fenestrae. The postorbitals are roughly T-shaped, with three branches. Unlike Late Triassic forms, Fodonyx has a supratemporal bone. The quadratojugal and quadrate are mainly missing. One squamosal is preserved, forming much of the posterior margin of the skull. Much of the palate is intact, although the vomeronasals are quite degraded due to their length and thinness. The palatines form most of the borders of the choana. The pterygoids are very large and have three main processes, all broad and flat. The ectopterygoids are very small and hidden in palatal view. Small fragments of the hyoids are preserved, with a circular cross section and lateral striations. The basioccipital is short and attached to the narrow basisphenoid. The occipital condyle is hemispherical. Much of the detail on the paraoccipital is hard to make out due to difficulties of preparation. Only the anterior portions of the lower jaw are well preserved, but it has the typical rhynchosaur shape, curving up to the anterior tip. Teeth are mainly obscured as the jaws are tightly shut.

In 2002, Solaris presented a new version of the Urbino, the so-called 2nd generation. Two years later, in 2004, the third generation of the Urbino had its premi\u00e8re. In 2006, at the IAA Nutzfahrzeuge trade fair in Hanover, Solaris Bus & Coach displayed a third generation bus which was also the first of its hybrid models, the Solaris Urbino 18 Hybrid created in collaboration with US firms Alisson Transmission and Cummins. It was the first serially produced hybrid bus in the world. As a result, Solaris joined European leaders of eco-friendly public transport technologies. Krzysztof Olszewski, founder of Solaris Bus & Coach, said at that time that: \u201dDiesel has died, long live electricity!\u201d. The first fully electric bus, the Solaris Urbino 8,9 LE electric, was unveiled in 2012.

Initially, the range of the vehicle was merely , however, with time, thanks to technological progress, the achievable range increased. The vehicle was tested among others in Pozna\u0144, Cracow and Warsaw. The first buyer of that electric Solaris bus was an Austrian operator, from Klagenfurt.

The duke went to the forest in but could not find them. He then ordered his men to set fire to the forest in order to force Jie out.

After that they played Careful, as images of the Brand New Eyes butterfly flashed during the chorus, they then continued with their hit-single \"Decode\" as the video screen showed the band running through the forest with fireworks and flares, the video has been described as a part-two to the songs music video.

After \"Brick\" the band concluded their set with their breakthrough song \"Misery Business\" as flashing images of the \"Riot!\" logo filled the video screens, during the bridge Williams would let one, or sometimes various fans on stage to sing the rest of the song or sometimes play guitar, and as the last chorus came in confetti cannons were shot towards the crowd. The set concluded with the video screen showing Paramore's logo and the band bowing then leaving the stage.

Despite the abdication of Charles X and the Dauphin Louis in favor to Charles X's grandson Henri, Duke of Bordeaux, on 2 August 1830, only seven days later Louis Philippe I, still Duke of Orl\u00e9ans, was elected by the Chamber of Deputies as new \"King of the French\". The enthronement of Louis Philippe was strongly wanted by Doctrinaires, the liberal opposition to Charles X's ministries, under the concept \"nationalize the monarchy and royalize France\". On 14 August 1830, the Chamber approved a new Constitution, who became the de facto political manifesto for the Orl\u00e9anists, containing the basis for a constitutional monarchy with a central Parliament. The Orl\u00e9anism, became the dominant tendency within political life, easily divided inside the Chamber of Deputies between the centre-left of Adolphe Thiers and the centre-right of Fran\u00e7ois Guizot. Louis Philippe showed himself more aligned with Guizot, entrusted to the higher offices of government, and rapidly became associated with the rising \"new men\" of the banks, industries and finance, gaining the epithet of \"Roi bourgeois\". In the early 1840s, Louis Philippe's popularity decreased, due to his strong connection to upper classes and repression against workers' strikes, and showed few concerns for his weakened position, leading the writer Victor Hugo to describe him as \"a men with many little qualities\". The Orl\u00e9anist regime finally fell in 1848, when a revolution erupted and on 24 February Louis Philippe abdicated in favor to his grandson Philippe, Count of Paris, under regency of his mother Helene, Duchess of Orl\u00e9ans, who was quickly ousted out from the Chamber of Deputies during the regency's formalization, who was interrupted by republican deputies who instead proclaimed the Second Republic.\n", "title": "Orl\u00e9anist", "pid": "p_3825" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "In 1851, she met Elizabeth Cady Stanton", "indices": [ 0, 39 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Elizabeth Cady Stanton (November 12, 1815 \u2013 October 26, 1902", "indices": [ 0, 60 ], "passage": "Elizabeth Cady Stanton" }, { "text": "In 1851, she met Elizabeth Cady Stanton,", "indices": [ 0, 40 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Elizabeth Cady Stanton" ], "answer": { "answer_value": "36", "answer_unit": "years old", "type": "value" }, "question": "How old was the woman Susan B.

Abby and Daniel's relationship was outed when Nikki Newman and Daniel's mother, Phyllis Summers, saw Abby and Daniel making out in public. Their relationship continued for a while, but when Abby found out that Daniel fathered a child with Daisy Carter, she broke up with him. After she witnessed her mother kissing Tucker McCall, she asked him to go into business with her. When Tucker turned her down, Abby decided to take a bubble bath in Katherine Chancellor's pool at the annual Chancellor Fourth of July party. Abby's inheritance was then withheld indefinitely. To spite her parents, Abby rode a horse, while naked, inside the Genoa City Athletic Club while Victor and Nikki were celebrating their engagement. She was arrested and thrown in jail.

This indicates a rift-drift history of the Precordillera in the early Paleozoic. The Precordillera is a moving micro-continent which started from the southeast part of the ancient continent Laurentia (current location: North American plate). The separation of the Precordillera (also named Cuyania) started around the early Cambrian. The mass collided with Gondwana (the ancient supercontinent in the southern hemisphere) around Late Ordovician period. Different models and thinking of rift-drift process and the time of occurrence have been proposed.

The latter party had much more support, so Pope Nicholas IV had crowned Charles Martel as King of Hungary. This movement was supported by the most powerful Croatian nobility, the \u0160ubi\u0107s, Princes of Bribir. As the current head of the family, Paul \u0160ubi\u0107 was also son-in-law of King Stefan Dragutin, family connections made Kotroman support Charles Martel's crowning. To increase his influence in Kotroman's realm, Charles Martel issued numerous edicts to split the land among the lesser gentry to gain support for his reign. It appears that he gave the reign over Bosnia to the \u0160ubi\u0107s. Charles Martel died unexpectedly in 1295, before the campaign to cease the power in Hungary was finished. The Queen of Naples and sister of former King Ladislaus IV, Mary, had then decided to put her grandson, son of Charles Martel, Charles Robert as the future King of Hungary. Pope Boniface VIII declared the twelve-year-old boy as King Charles I of Hungary in 1297. Paul \u0160ubi\u0107 of Croatia declared himself as \"Dominus of Bosnia\" in 1299 and gave the title of Bosnian Ban to his brother, Mladen I \u0160ubi\u0107.

Paul \u0160ubi\u0107 wanted to bring King Charles Robert to Split across Croatia to Zagreb, which would become the main station of his campaign against King Andrew III of Hungary.

Documented incidents of abuse include racial intimidation, sexual harassment, physical abuse and anti-gay harassment. One sailor, Master-At-Arms 3rd Class Joseph Rocha, suffered post-traumatic stress disorder because of his abuse at the hands of fellow sailors, and he alleges that another sailor committed suicide because of her treatment. The Navy investigated the allegations in 2007 and documented the abuse, but took little substantive action. However, Pennsylvania Congressman Joe Sestak, a former Vice Admiral, demanded a new examination of the report's findings which led to the disciplining of Rocha's former superior, Chief Petty Officer Michael Toussaint (later Senior Chief Petty Officer). The scandal came to widespread public attention as United States President Barack Obama faced increased pressure to repeal the military's gay-exclusionary policy known as \"don't ask, don't tell\" (DADT).\n", "title": "United States Navy dog handler hazing scandal", "pid": "p_3895" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "Buena Vista's first release was the Academy Award\u2013winning live-action feature The Living Desert on November 10, 1953", "indices": [ 790, 906 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Universal Pictures", "Columbia Pictures", "RKO Pictures", "United Artists" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "Which production company had released more films by the year The Living Desert was released?", "qid": "q_8985" }, { "context": [ { "text": "Buena Vista's first release was the Academy Award\u2013winning live-action feature The Living Desert on November 10, 1953", "indices": [ 790, 906 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Columbia Pictures" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "How many employees did Columbia Pictures have the year The Living Desert was released?", "qid": "q_8986" }, { "context": [ { "text": "Buena Vista's first release was the Academy Award\u2013winning live-action feature The Living Desert on November 10, 1953", "indices": [ 790, 906 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Academy Awards" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "How many Academy Awards had been given out in total by the year The Living Desert was released?", "qid": "q_8987" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 13, 24 ], "target": "Walt Disney" }, { "indices": [ 94, 112 ], "target": "Universal Pictures" }, { "indices": [ 114, 137 ], "target": "Oswald the Lucky Rabbit" }, { "indices": [ 147, 164 ], "target": "Columbia Pictures" }, { "indices": [ 178, 192 ], "target": "United Artists" }, { "indices": [ 209, 227 ], "target": "RKO Pictures" }, { "indices": [ 319, 336 ], "target": "The Living Desert" }, { "indices": [ 345, 365 ], "target": "True-Life Adventures" }, { "indices": [ 454, 467 ], "target": "Roy O.

Some of the more notable artists to record for Black Jazz Records were Cleveland Eaton, former bassist for Count Basie and Ramsey Lewis, and organist/pianist Doug Carn, whose four albums were the most successful of any Black Jazz artist. Carn's wife at the time, Jean Carn, sang on his albums; she changed her name to Jean Carne and went on to have a successful solo career as an R & B singer. Singer Kellee Patterson gained notoriety as the first black Miss Indiana in 1971, before recording her debut album, Maiden Voyage, with Black Jazz Records in 1973. The label was distributed and financed by Ovation Records, a country and western label based in Chicago, which was also founded by Schory.

She sings her lyrics through a brief interlude, and later backs the chorus during the rest of the song.

Essentially, Gaga is in a club and her boyfriend keeps calling, but she cannot talk as she was drinking and dancing to her favorite song. The chorus runs as follows: \"Stop calling, stop calling, I don't want to talk anymore.\" \"Telephone\" consists of an expanded bridge, verse-rap and an epilogue where a voice announces that the telephone line is not reachable at that moment.

In Game 3, the Lakers raced to an easy 137\u2013104 victory as Magic Johnson dished out 21 assists.

In this capacity, he participated in King Andrew's royal campaign against Albert of Austria in the summer of 1291. According to his uncle's donation letter from 1299, Sinka bravely fought under the city walls of Vienna. He seriously injured during these clashes, as Andrew's privilege charter from 1300 narrates. He remained in the service of the Baksas for the following years. According to two documents issued by later family members in 1314 and 1317, a certain \"Bohemian potentate\" Wytk, who resided in S\u00e1ros Castle (present-day \u0160ari\u0161 in Slovakia), invaded George Baksa's seat S\u00f3v\u00e1r (today Solivar, a borough of Pre\u0161ov in Slovakia) and seized its salt well. Sinka led a military unit and successfully recovered the estate, while captured Wytk and burned the Bohemian lord's nearby fort. The 1317 charter contradicts this and narrates that Sinka already prevented Wytk from occupying the salt well. Some historians considered that the events occurred sometime between 1301 and 1305, during the brief reign of Wenceslaus, who installed his Bohemian partisans to several castles in Northeast Hungary. For a number of reasons, however, historian Attila Zsoldos argued the events occurred still during the reign of Andrew III and put the date to sometime before July 1294. In that year, Andrew confiscated Tam\u00e1si in Szepes County (today Spi\u0161sk\u00e9 Tom\u00e1\u0161ovce in Slovakia) from George Baksa and his brothers because of their \"disloyalty\", as they \"ravaged the realm\" and \"captured and wounded\" Wytk, the royal castellan of S\u00e1ros. Zsoldos identified the castellan with Wytk Lud\u00e1ny, who came from a kindred of Bohemian origin, as Simon of K\u00e9za's Gesta Hunnorum et Hungarorum preserved. The historian suggested that Wytk unlawfully tried to extend his influence over S\u00f3v\u00e1r by abusing the power of his position, but George Baksa and his nephew Sinka successfully repulsed the attack. Andrew III, whose whole reign was characterized by the confrontations with the oligarchs, regarded this act as a treachery without consideration of all aspects.\n", "title": "Sinka Sebesi", "pid": "p_3915" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "Many prefabricated concrete structures, common in the former Warsaw Pact countries, were modernized", "indices": [ 878, 977 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Warsaw Pact" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "What countries were part of the pact that saw prefabricated concrete structures modernized?", "qid": "q_9029" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 32, 48 ], "target": "World War II" }, { "indices": [ 88, 96 ], "target": "Red Army" }, { "indices": [ 150, 162 ], "target": "East Germany" }, { "indices": [ 402, 406 ], "target": "Milk" }, { "indices": [ 457, 460 ], "target": "Volkseigener Betrieb" }, { "indices": [ 482, 487 ], "target": "Bread" }, { "indices": [ 524, 538 ], "target": "Slaughterhouse" }, { "indices": [ 683, 696 ], "target": "German reunification" }, { "indices": [ 735, 751 ], "target": "Germany" }, { "indices": [ 883, 916 ], "target": "Plattenbau" }, { "indices": [ 939, 950 ], "target": "Warsaw Pact" }, { "indices": [ 1025, 1032 ], "target": "School" }, { "indices": [ 1053, 1059 ], "target": "Hotel" } ], "text": "Four days before the end of the Second World War, undefended Bergen was occupied by the Red Army on 4 May 1945.

They later split the business, and following an expansion to Australia he set up permanently in Melbourne in 1913. Robertson built the Melbourne headquarters at Bank House in Bank Place, Collins Street and opened offices throughout Australia and later operations in North America and the United Kingdom. In Britain he was made Vice President of the Royal Institute of Commerce from 1929 to 1930, a Fellow of the Society of Incorporated Accountants and Auditors and a Fellow of the Royal Society of the Arts. Following his return to Australia, Robertson was embroiled in a landmark High Court tax case, which contested his income in Britain. Ironically, it was his close friend Justice Owen Dixon who fined Robertson, and arranged for him to help amend the loophole in the Commonwealth tax laws. Afterwards it is rumored Robertson was satirically made to play left-handed (his non-preferred) against Dixon in a round of golf, which being ambidextrous he still won. A keen speculator and prudent investor, Robertson had far reaching pecuniary interests and directorial roles in mining, wheat and wool, as well as educational links through his Hemingway Robertson Institute with the University of Melbourne.

Through his research, Sachs discovered the relationship between neurophysin, an intracellular chaperone protein and vasopressin, the neurohormone that is critical for maintaining water balance in the body. He hypothesized that neurophysin and vasopressin are both part of a larger, inactive precursor protein, a prohormone, which is then enzymatically cleaved and processed within the secretory granule to produce and secrete both peptide products. Sachs' hypothesis preceded the discovery of proinsulin by 3 years, and his research laid the foundation for understanding the biosynthesis of all brain peptides and many proteins, which are major constituents involved in brain and neuroendocrine functions. Sachs showed that vasopressin was first synthesized as a prohormone in specialized nerve cells (called neurosecretory cells) in the hypothalamus and was then transported to the nerve terminals in the posterior pituitary where the vasopressin peptide was completely processed during axonal transport in secretory granules and ultimately secreted into the blood. He also showed that brain tissue could be kept intact and functional for two months in tissue culture, and contributed to the understanding of the interactions between the neuroendocrine neurons and neuroglial cells in the hypothalamal-neurohypophysial system (HNS).\n", "title": "Howard Sachs (scientist)", "pid": "p_3926" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "small Evangelical People's Party", "indices": [ 706, 738 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "The EVP was founded in March 1981", "indices": [ 185, 218 ], "passage": "Evangelical People's Party (Netherlands)" } ], "question_links": [ "Evangelical People's Party (Netherlands)" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 262, "text": "March 1981", "passage": "evangelical people's party (netherlands)", "end": 272 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "When was the Evangelical People's Party founded?", "qid": "q_9044" }, { "context": [ { "text": "the small Evangelical People's Party.", "indices": [ 702, 739 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "The EVP was founded in March 1981 by members of the Christian Democratic Appeal (CDA)", "indices": [ 185, 270 ], "passage": "Evangelical People's Party (Netherlands)" } ], "question_links": [ "Evangelical People's Party (Netherlands)" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 276, "text": "members of the Christian Democratic Appeal (CDA)", "passage": "evangelical people's party (netherlands)", "end": 324 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "Who founded the Evangelical People's Party?", "qid": "q_9045" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 69, 83 ], "target": "British Guiana" }, { "indices": [ 138, 151 ], "target": "Surinam (Dutch colony)" }, { "indices": [ 165, 190 ], "target": "Dutch Empire" }, { "indices": [ 226, 229 ], "target": "Law" }, { "indices": [ 269, 278 ], "target": "Amsterdam" }, { "indices": [ 311, 322 ], "target": "Netherlands" }, { "indices": [ 363, 397 ], "target": "Communist Party of the Netherlands" }, { "indices": [ 548, 572 ], "target": "Pacifist Socialist Party" }, { "indices": [ 581, 608 ], "target": "Political Party of Radicals" }, { "indices": [ 640, 649 ], "target": "GroenLinks" }, { "indices": [ 712, 738 ], "target": "Evangelical People's Party (Netherlands)" } ], "text": "Although Tarapatie \"Tara\" Oedayraj (Udairaj) Singh Varma was born in British Guiana, she attended vocational education in the neighboring Dutch Surinam, which was a colony of the Netherlands at the time, studying teaching and law, without graduating.

It was an important trading place for the Franks and its port linked the continent to England, specifically to the southeastern county of Kent. From what we know today, Quentovic was founded by a Neustrian king in the early 6th century. It was one of the two most prominent Frankish ports in the north (the other being Dorestad) until it was abandoned, probably in the 11th century. Merchants were drawn to this place because the number of trading posts at the time was limited. Quentovic was also the place where Anglo-Saxon monks would cross the English Channel on their pilgrimage to Rome. A lack of physical evidence, and the sudden disappearance of this emporium, make the town difficult to interpret.

Further research showed that it was the increase of cAMP within the cell resulting from dopamine binding to AMPA receptor that led to this decrease in coupling.

In interviews, Hart referred to his strip as a \"ministry\" intended to mix religious themes with secular humor. Though other strips such as The Family Circus and Peanuts have included Christian themes, B.C. strips were pulled from comics pages on several occasions due to editorial perception of religious favoritism or overt proselytizing. Easter strips in 1996 and 2001, for example, prompted editorial reaction from a handful of U.S. newspapers, chiefly the Los Angeles Times and written and oral responses from Jewish and Muslim groups. The American Jewish Committee termed the Easter 2001 strip, which depicted the last words of Jesus Christ and a menorah transforming into a cross, \"religiously offensive\" and \"shameful.\" A 2003 strip depicting a character using an outhouse with a crescent symbol on the front, slamming the door shut, and declaring, \"Is it just me, or does it stink in here?\" was interpreted by some as carrying an anti-Islam message.

San Severo was founded in the 11th century around a small church built by the Benedictine monks from Montecassino. It rapidly developed as a trade town. In 1053, it was the scene of the historical victory of Robert Guiscard over the papal troops under Pope Leo IX (see Battle of Civitate). In the eleventh century, San Severo was the route of the Via Sacra Langobardorum and a primitive church arose dedicated to Saint Severino, from which continued an influx of pilgrims to Monte Sant'Angelo and movement of people and goods. The town was therefore called Castellum Sancti Severini (\"Fortified Town of San Severo\").\n", "title": "San Severo", "pid": "p_3968" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "The movement of Protestant Reformation, led by Martin Luther in the Holy Roman Empire and John Calvin in France", "indices": [ 0, 111 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Martin Luther, , (; ; 10 November 1483", "indices": [ 0, 38 ], "passage": "Martin Luther" }, { "text": "John Calvin was born as Jehan Cauvin on 10 July 1509", "indices": [ 1892, 1944 ], "passage": "John Calvin" } ], "question_links": [ "Martin Luther", "John Calvin" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 27, "text": "Martin Luther,", "passage": "martin luther", "end": 41 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "Which of the leaders of the Protestant Reformation was younger?", "qid": "q_9134" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 16, 38 ], "target": "Reformation" }, { "indices": [ 47, 60 ], "target": "Martin Luther" }, { "indices": [ 68, 85 ], "target": "Holy Roman Empire" }, { "indices": [ 90, 101 ], "target": "John Calvin" }, { "indices": [ 213, 219 ], "target": "Psalms" }, { "indices": [ 241, 246 ], "target": "Latin" }, { "indices": [ 252, 258 ], "target": "French language" }, { "indices": [ 323, 345 ], "target": "Catholic Church in France" }, { "indices": [ 416, 435 ], "target": "College of Sorbonne" }, { "indices": [ 527, 546 ], "target": "Death by burning" }, { "indices": [ 563, 572 ], "target": "Song book" }, { "indices": [ 638, 653 ], "target": "Catholic Church" }, { "indices": [ 662, 678 ], "target": "Council of Trent" }, { "indices": [ 710, 729 ], "target": "Counter-Reformation" } ], "text": "The movement of Protestant Reformation, led by Martin Luther in the Holy Roman Empire and John Calvin in France, had an important impact on music in Paris.

Though based on the Hebrew canonical Book of Joshua, it differs greatly from the latter in both form and content and the Samaritans ascribe no canonical authority to it.

Alterations that emphasize the Samaritan belief in the sanctity of Mount Gerizim, the site of the Samaritan temple, appear throughout the text; for example, an expanded passage calls Gerizim \"the chosen place\" and a description of the temple being built there follows the conclusion of the conquest of Canaan.

With this move, WACY adopted the \"WACkY 32\" branding for its kids' lineup (running roughly 6-11 a.m. and 1-5 p.m.), which over the years would include Garfield and Friends, Scooby-Doo, Dennis the Menace, Pok\u00e9mon, Sailor Moon and Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog; programs from the UPN Kids and The Disney Afternoon blocks (as well as from Kids' WB as the Green Bay television market did not have a full-time WB affiliate); and educational and informational-compliant programs like The New Zoo Revue. The live character \"Cuddles the Clown\" provided host continuity for \"WACkY 32\" programming. The station's children's lineup would dwindle over the years, thanks in part to increased cable competition from cable channels such as Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon and the decreased financial justification of airing a more-than-necessary amount of children's programming, although it would continue to air UPN's Disney's One Too until the network discontinued its daily children's block in 2003.

He either derived from Bratton Fleming or Bratton Clovelly. Both villages are in Devon. It was only after his death that the family name appears as Bracton; during his life, he was known as Bratton, or Bretton. This originally may have been Bradton, meaning \"Broad Town\". Bracton first appeared as a justice in 1245. From 1248 until his death in 1268 he was steadily employed as a justice of the assize in the southwestern counties, especially Somerset, Devon and Cornwall. He was a member of the coram rege, also called the coram ipso rege, later to become the King's Court. He retired from this in 1257, shortly before the meeting of the Mad Parliament in 1258 at Oxford. It is unknown whether his retirement was related to politics. His leaving coincided with the onset of the notorious Second Barons' War in 1264. At that time Bracton was ordered to restore to the Treasury the large store of plea rolls (case records from previous trials) that had been in his possession. He was also forced to surrender the large number of rolls from his predecessors Martin Pateshull and William Raleigh, also known as William de Raley. It cannot be determined whether he disgraced the King or the barons in this affair, but it is speculated that some kind of political intrigue was involved. The practical result was that his major work, De Legibus et Consuetudinibus Angliae (\"The Laws and Customs of England\"), was left unfinished. Even so, it exists in four large volumes today. He continued to follow the assizes in the southwest until 1267.

In 1827, Bishop Fenwick opened a school in the basement of his cathedral and took to the personal instruction of the city's youth. His efforts to attract other Jesuits to the faculty were hampered both by Boston's distance from the center of Jesuit activity in Maryland and by suspicion on the part of the city's Protestant elite. Relations with Boston's civic leaders worsened such that, when a Jesuit faculty was finally secured in 1843, Fenwick decided to leave the Boston school and instead opened the College of the Holy Cross west of the city in Worcester, Massachusetts where he felt the Jesuits could operate with greater autonomy. Meanwhile, the vision for a college in Boston was sustained by John McElroy, S.J., who saw an even greater need for such an institution in light of Boston's growing Irish Catholic immigrant population. With the approval of his Jesuit superiors, McElroy went about raising funds and in 1857 purchased land for \"The Boston College\" on Harrison Avenue in the Hudson neighborhood of South End, Boston, Massachusetts. With little fanfare, the college's two buildings\u2014a schoolhouse and a church\u2014welcomed their first class of scholastics in 1859. Two years later, with as little fanfare, BC closed again.

In May 1942, failure to decisively defeat the Allies at the Battle of the Coral Sea, in spite of Japanese numerical superiority, equated to a strategic defeat for the Japanese. This setback was followed in June 1942 by the catastrophic loss of four fleet carriers at the Battle of Midway, the first decisive defeat for the Imperial Japanese Navy. It proved to be the turning point of the war as the Navy lost its offensive strategic capability and never managed to reconstruct the \"'critical mass' of both large numbers of carriers and well-trained air groups\". Australian land forces defeated Japanese Marines in New Guinea at the Battle of Milne Bay in September 1942, which was the first land defeat suffered by the Japanese in the Pacific. Further victories by the Allies at Guadalcanal in September 1942 and New Guinea in 1943 put the Empire of Japan on the defensive for the remainder of the war, with Guadalcanal in particular sapping their already-limited oil supplies. During 1943 and 1944, Allied forces, backed by the industrial might and vast raw material resources of the United States, advanced steadily towards Japan. The Sixth United States Army, led by General MacArthur, landed on Leyte on October 20, 1944. The Palawan massacre was committed by the imperial army against Filipinos in December 1944.

The effect, while already discovered, was analyzed extensively by Frank E. Fish et al in the early 2000 onwards. The tubercle effect works by channeling flow over the airfoil into more narrow streams, creating higher velocities. Another side effect of these channels is the reduction of flow moving over the wingtip and resulting in less parasitic drag due to wingtip vortices. Using computational modeling, it was determined that the presence of tubercles produces a delay in the angle of attack until stall, thereby increasing maximum lift and decreasing drag.

The Sassanid commander, Maruzas, was killed, several of the Persian leaders were captured along with 3,000 other prisoners, and only a thousand men survived to reach refuge at Nisibis. The Byzantines secured much booty, including the Persian battle standards, and sent them, along with Maruzas' head, to Maurice in Constantinople. In 590 two Parthian brothers, Vistahm and Vinduyih, overthrew King Hormizd IV and made the latter's son, Prince Khosrau II, the new King. The former Persian commander-in-chief, Bahram Chobin, who had rebelled against Hormizd IV, claimed the throne for himself and defeated Khosrau. Khosrau and the two Parthians fled to the Byzantine court. Although the Senate unanimously advised against it, Maurice helped Khosrau regain his throne with an army of 35,000 men. In 591 the combined Byzantine-Persian army under generals John Mystacon and Narses defeated Bahram Chobin's forces near Ganzak at the Battle of Blarathon.

Sewing for the most part was a woman's occupation, and most sewing before the 19th century was practical. Clothing was an expensive investment for most people, and women had an important role in extending the longevity of items of clothing. Sewing was used for mending. Clothing that was faded would be turned inside-out so that it could continue to be worn, and sometimes had to be taken apart and reassembled in order to suit this purpose. Once clothing became worn or torn, it would be taken apart and the reusable cloth sewn together into new items of clothing, made into quilts, or otherwise put to practical use. The many steps involved in making clothing from scratch (weaving, pattern making, cutting, alterations, and so forth) meant that women often bartered their expertise in a particular skill with one another. Decorative needlework such as embroidery was a valued skill, and young women with the time and means would practise to build their skill in this area. From the Middle Ages to the 17th century, sewing tools such as needles, pins and pincushions were included in the trousseaus of many European brides.\n", "title": "Sewing", "pid": "p_4164" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "James was the son of Henry Lewis James, who was Dean of Bangor from 1934 to 1940.", "indices": [ 0, 81 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Bangor Cathedral" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "Who succeeded Robert James' father as the dean of Bangor?", "qid": "q_9592" }, { "context": [ { "text": "In 1939, he became headmaster of Chigwell School", "indices": [ 346, 394 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Chigwell School" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "Who did Robert James succeed in the position of headmaster in 1939?", "qid": "q_9593" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 21, 38 ], "target": "Henry James (priest)" }, { "indices": [ 48, 52 ], "target": "Dean (Christianity)" }, { "indices": [ 56, 62 ], "target": "Bangor Cathedral" }, { "indices": [ 101, 115 ], "target": "Rossall School" }, { "indices": [ 120, 141 ], "target": "Jesus College, Oxford" }, { "indices": [ 185, 203 ], "target": "Literae humaniores" }, { "indices": [ 227, 236 ], "target": "Doctorate" }, { "indices": [ 244, 264 ], "target": "University of London" }, { "indices": [ 275, 286 ], "target": "Housemaster" }, { "indices": [ 290, 306 ], "target": "St Paul's School, London" }, { "indices": [ 379, 394 ], "target": "Chigwell School" }, { "indices": [ 482, 495 ], "target": "Harrow School" }, { "indices": [ 769, 781 ], "target": "Elizabeth II" }, { "indices": [ 802, 805 ], "target": "Order of the British Empire" }, { "indices": [ 841, 847 ], "target": "Oxford" } ], "text": "James was the son of Henry Lewis James, who was Dean of Bangor from 1934 to 1940.

The group believed that it was necessary for a party in Hawaii, now a region of the US, to have a national counterpart to survive and established the Democratic Party of Hawaii. The intention of the party was to promote Jeffersonian philosophy and home rule. Following the Overthrow of the Hawaiian Monarchy, the Reform Party of Hawaii seized control of government and intended to annex Hawaii to the United States. The reformers became affiliated with the Republican Party for this support of Hawaii's annexation in contrast to the Democrats' opposition. The American Union Party became the regional Republican party in Hawaii, leaving the Democratic Party for any opposition group.

Relieving Hodson, he completed five of nine passes and threw an interception as the Patriots lost, 31\u201314. The next week, Zolak made his first career start when the still winless Patriots faced the Indianapolis Colts. He completed 20 of 29 passes for 261\u00a0yards, two touchdowns, and an interception in the Patriots' first win of the season, 37\u201334.

The next week, Zolak led his team to their second victory of the season against the New York Jets. He completed seven of 16 passes for 102\u00a0yards, getting help from Jon Vaughn who had 110 rushing yards, and the Patriots won, 24\u20133.

However, Millen suffered a shoulder injury against the Colts, and after Zolak played part of the game against Indianapolis, he again became the starter for the game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Zolak injured his ankle at the end of the third quarter, making the appearance against Kansas City his last for the season as Jeff Carlson took over quarterbacking duties.

It reunites Blomkamp with some of his District 9 crew, such as editor Julian Clarke, production designer Philip Ivey, cinematographer Trent Opaloch, and actor Sharlto Copley, playing one of the film's antagonists. Elysium is a co-production of TriStar Pictures and MRC. Although the film's story is set in 2154, Blomkamp has stated that it is a comment on the contemporary human condition. \"Everybody wants to ask me lately about my predictions for the future,\" the director has said, \"No, no, no. This isn't science fiction. This is today. This is now.\" In January 2011, independent studio Media Rights Capital met with major studios to distribute Elysium, and Blomkamp shared art designs of his proposed science fiction film. The art designs won over the executives at Sony Pictures, who bought the film after making a more attractive offer than the other studios. With a production budget of , production began in July 2011. The film's Earth-bound scenes were shot in a dump in the poor Iztapalapa district on the outskirts of Mexico City, while the scenes for Elysium were shot in Vancouver and the wealthy Huixquilucan-Interlomas suburbs of Mexico City. Matt Damon shaved his head for the role of Max. The main role was first offered to Watkin Tudor Jones (aka Ninja), a South African rapper, who despite being a fan of District 9 (he has a D9 tattoo on his inner lip) did not take the role. The role was then offered to rapper Eminem, but he wanted the film to be shot in Detroit. That was not an option for the two studios, so Blomkamp moved on to Damon as his next choice. Futuristic designs were executed by Philip Ivey after long periods of researching and studying older science fiction films. Ivey has continuously cited Syd Mead as a substantial influence for the film.

In August 1949, the Soviet Union detonated its first nuclear weapon and by the early 1950s had detonated a hydrogen bomb. The war of words between the two superpowers escalated during 1950s and 1960s into a nuclear arms race. By 1970 the United States was using a \"Triad Defense System\" composed of nuclear submarines armed with nuclear missiles, land based intercontinental ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads and bombers capable of delivering hydrogen bombs on enemy targets. The Boeing B-52 Stratofortress bomber had been designed in the early 1950s by Boeing Aircraft Company to give the United States Air Force the capability of delivering nuclear weapons far inside the territory of Soviet Russia. The planes were to fly at high altitude with enough fuel to hit their target. In May 1960, the Soviet Union made known its capability to shoot such high altitude planes out of the sky by using a surface to air missile to strike CIA pilot Francis Gary Powers' U-2 spy plane over Russian territory.

He studied at Colegio Esp\u00edritu Santo in Hato Rey, where he was president of the Student Council. Natal obtained a bachelor's degree from Cornell University in 2008, where he was president of the Puerto Rican Student Association. He did not expect to be accepted by the institution, having applied to study in it as a protocolary measure. When the acceptance letter was received, Natal was surprised and this event triggered a period of adaptation. He offered a speech at his graduation in his role of class president. After returning to Puerto Rico, Natal received a juris doctor from the University of Puerto Rico School of Law in 2011, also serving as president of the student council during his tenure. After graduating from Cornell, Natal became a key figure in a series of strikes held at the University of Puerto Rico in protest of a quota being introduced to the students.

Hetman was killed on 2 June 1652, during the last day of the battle, when trying to escape from the Cossack-Tatars-filled burning Polish camp, in woods some 3 kilometers from the Polish camp. Hetman's severed head was carried around the Cossack-Tatar camps, allegedly by the Nuredin-Sultan himself.\n", "title": "Marcin Kalinowski", "pid": "p_4242" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "Dunstan became well known for his campaign against the death penalty being imposed on Max Stuart, who was convicted of rape and murder", "indices": [ 19, 153 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Max Stuart" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "What was the name of the convicted rapist/murderer's mother that Don Dunstan advocated for?", "qid": "q_9748" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 105, 115 ], "target": "Max Stuart" }, { "indices": [ 190, 208 ], "target": "Thomas Playford IV" }, { "indices": [ 404, 430 ], "target": "Liberal and Country League" }, { "indices": [ 554, 571 ], "target": "Indigenous rights" }, { "indices": [ 622, 644 ], "target": "White Australia policy" }, { "indices": [ 713, 726 ], "target": "1965 South Australian state election" }, { "indices": [ 762, 773 ], "target": "Frank Walsh" }, { "indices": [ 828, 844 ], "target": "Attorney-General of South Australia" }, { "indices": [ 905, 916 ], "target": "Steele Hall" }, { "indices": [ 1119, 1132 ], "target": "1968 South Australian state election" }, { "indices": [ 1501, 1514 ], "target": "1970 South Australian state election" }, { "indices": [ 1602, 1606 ], "target": "1973 South Australian state election" }, { "indices": [ 1608, 1612 ], "target": "1975 South Australian state election" }, { "indices": [ 1617, 1621 ], "target": "1977 South Australian state election" } ], "text": "In the late 1950s, Dunstan became well known for his campaign against the death penalty being imposed on Max Stuart, who was convicted of rape and murder of a small girl. He harried Premier Thomas Playford IV aggressively over the matter, creating an uproar over what he saw as an unfair process. Playford eventually relented, and appeared shaken thereafter; the event was seen as a turning point in the Liberal and Country League's decline, and Labor gained momentum. During Labor's time in opposition, Dunstan was prominent in securing some reforms in Aboriginal rights, and was at the forefront of Labor abandoning the White Australia Policy. Labor conducted an extensive campaign in marginal LCL seats at the 1965 election, resulting in 21 of 39 seats, with Frank Walsh and the Labor Party taking power and Dunstan becoming Attorney-General. The LCL opposition changed leaders and installed the young Steele Hall, worrying Labor as the elderly Walsh appeared bumbling in contrast. This resulted in Labor replacing Walsh with Dunstan. Despite maintaining a much larger vote over the LCL, Labor lost two seats at the 1968 election, with the LCL forming government with support of an independent. Dunstan responded by increasing his attacks on the Playmander and was able to convincingly sustain Playmander attacks with the effect of convincing the LCL into watering down the malapportionment. Again with little change in Labor's vote but with the Playmander removed, Labor won 27 of 47 seats at the 1970 election. With a fairer seat and boundary system in place, Dunstan won three more elections, in 1973, 1975 and 1977.\n", "title": "Don Dunstan", "pid": "p_4243" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "solidly competitive side, with a prominent performance in the 1990 FIFA World Cup", "indices": [ 66, 147 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "The tournament was won by West Germany", "indices": [ 434, 472 ], "passage": "1990 FIFA World Cup" } ], "question_links": [ "1990 FIFA World Cup" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 493, "text": "West Germany", "passage": "1990 fifa world cup", "end": 505 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "Who won the World Cup where the Costa Rican team had a prominent performance?", "qid": "q_9749" }, { "context": [ { "text": "Their 2018 World Cup campaign ended in a 4th place group stage exit", "indices": [ 958, 1025 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "France won the match 4\u20132 to claim their second World Cup title", "indices": [ 1089, 1151 ], "passage": "2018 FIFA World Cup" } ], "question_links": [ "2018 FIFA World Cup" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 1122, "text": "France", "passage": "2018 fifa world cup", "end": 1128 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "What team won the World Cup where Costa Rica exited in 4th place in the group stage?", "qid": "q_9750" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 128, 147 ], "target": "1990 FIFA World Cup" }, { "indices": [ 175, 189 ], "target": "Single-elimination tournament" }, { "indices": [ 273, 279 ], "target": "Brazil national football team" }, { "indices": [ 318, 322 ], "target": "2002 FIFA World Cup" }, { "indices": [ 327, 347 ], "target": "2006 FIFA World Cup" }, { "indices": [ 352, 356 ], "target": "2014 FIFA World Cup" }, { "indices": [ 411, 441 ], "target": "2014 FIFA World Cup Group D" }, { "indices": [ 494, 501 ], "target": "Uruguay national football team" }, { "indices": [ 503, 508 ], "target": "Italy national football team" }, { "indices": [ 514, 521 ], "target": "England national football team" }, { "indices": [ 560, 566 ], "target": "Greece national football team" }, { "indices": [ 667, 672 ], "target": "Keylor Navas" }, { "indices": [ 879, 890 ], "target": "Netherlands national football team" }, { "indices": [ 964, 978 ], "target": "2018 FIFA World Cup" }, { "indices": [ 1074, 1085 ], "target": "Switzerland national football team" } ], "text": "Since the late 1980s, the team has continuously been visible as a solidly competitive side, with a prominent performance in the 1990 FIFA World Cup in Italy, making it to the knockout stage in their debut after finishing second in their group during the first phase, below Brazil.

The Xianbei were largely subordinate to larger nomadic powers and the Han dynasty until they gained prominence in 87 AD by killing the Xiongnu chanyu Youliu. However unlike the Xiongnu, the Xianbei political structure lacked the organization to pose a concerted challenge to the Chinese for most of their time as a nomadic people. After suffering several defeats by the end of the Three Kingdoms period, the Xianbei migrated south and settled in close proximity to Chinese society and submitted as vassals, being granted the titles of Dukes. As the Xianbei Murong, Tuoba and Duan tribes were one of the Five Barbarians who were vassals of the Han Chinese Western Jin and Eastern Jin dynasties, they took part in the Uprising of the Five Barbarians as allies of the Han Chinese Eastern Jin against the other four barbarians, the Xiongnu, Jie, Di and Qiang. The Xianbei were at one point all defeated and conquered by the Di Former Qin empire before it fell apart at the Battle of Fei River at the hands of the Eastern Jin. The Xianbei later founded their own states and reunited northern China as the Northern Wei. These states opposed and promoted sinicization at one point or another but trended towards the latter and had merged with the general Chinese population by the Tang dynasty.\n", "title": "Xianbei", "pid": "p_4258" }, { "questions": [], "links": [ { "indices": [ 41, 56 ], "target": "Enrico Lo Verso" }, { "indices": [ 486, 502 ], "target": "Il Fatto Quotidiano" }, { "indices": [ 765, 775 ], "target": "Parthenopean Republic" }, { "indices": [ 803, 813 ], "target": "Fiumicino" }, { "indices": [ 1401, 1414 ], "target": "Sergio Donati" }, { "indices": [ 1791, 1794 ], "target": "Agenzia Giornalistica Italia" }, { "indices": [ 1799, 1802 ], "target": "RAI" }, { "indices": [ 2078, 2094 ], "target": "Cirque du Soleil" }, { "indices": [ 2120, 2126 ], "target": "Sicily" }, { "indices": [ 2153, 2171 ], "target": "Union for the Mediterranean" }, { "indices": [ 2201, 2212 ], "target": "Capitoline Hill" }, { "indices": [ 2216, 2220 ], "target": "Rome" }, { "indices": [ 2274, 2281 ], "target": "Orvieto" }, { "indices": [ 2416, 2424 ], "target": "Cunziria" }, { "indices": [ 2467, 2487 ], "target": "Cavalleria rusticana (1982 film)" }, { "indices": [ 2581, 2595 ], "target": "Giovanni Verga" } ], "text": "In 2010, in collaboration with the actor Enrico Lo Verso and the musician Gabriele Denaro, he created the work Sensibilit\u00e0 Sonore, dedicated to topics such as marginalization, poverty and childhood.

The committee later determined that Carr's biggest mistake was allowing the questionable opening number to run for 12 minutes. Producer and former Directors Guild of America president Gilbert Cates, who headed the committee, said that Carr would have not received such harsh criticism if the number had been much shorter. Newly elected AMPAS president Karl Malden also commented on the last year's telecast, \"Some of the people in the Academy felt the show got a little out of control.\"\n\nIn September 1989, Cates was chosen as producer of the 1990 telecast. Malden explained the decision to hire him saying, \"Cates, a veteran film and TV director known for his tasteful work in both media will attempt to rectify the damage the last Oscar show did to the Academy's reputation.\" The following January, actor and comedian Billy Crystal was chosen as host of the ceremony. \"We are extremely pleased to have Billy host the show,\" Cates said in a press release justifying his choice. \"His unique talents and his ability to handle the unexpected will be important assets this year.\"\n\nCates christened the show with the theme \"Around the World in 3 1/2 Hours\" commenting that it would \"a party thrown around the world\".

Some media outlets were more critical of the show. Film critic Janet Maslin of The New York Times gave an average review of Crystal but lamented, \"The effort to make this year's Academy Awards show an international media miracle led to nothing but headaches.\" The Washington Post television critic Tom Shales bemoaned, \"while Crystal's opening monologue seemed to hit the right notes, he hit fewer and fewer as the evening wore on; his interjected quips between awards were mostly uninspired.\" He also criticized the dance numbers and numerous \"Around the World\" cutaways calling it pointless. Howard Rosenberg of the Los Angeles Times quipped that the broadcast was \"a conventional telecast that was arguably an extension of an industry calcified by convention.\" He gave positive remarks toward Crystal but felt that \"The Oscarcast was an old kid on the block.\"\n\nOther media outlets received the broadcast more positively. USA Today television critic Matt Roush lauded \"To the glib and savvy Billy Crystal, who kept things as lively and funny as he could all night long. What a chore, too.\" He concluded that, \"Hollywood no doubt went to bed happy (maybe early), because for a change Oscar didn't embarrass himself.\" Mike Drew of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel remarked, \"While too \"inside\" and not as funny as Hollywood thinks he is, Crystal was an efficient host.\" Film critic Carrie Rickey of The Philadelphia Inquirer wrote, \"It was encouraging that director Gilbert Cates took the opportunity to emphasize films instead of chorus girls.\" She also extolled Crystal's performance acknowledging that his \"nimble opening number set a Johnny Carson comic tone.\"\n\nRatings and reception.The American telecast on ABC drew in an average of 40.24 million people over its length, which was a 5% decrease from the previous year's ceremony.

In February 1993, actor and comedian Billy Crystal was chosen by Cates as host also for the fourth straight time. Cates justified the decision to hire him saying, \"He is a major movie star with a talent for moving the evening's entertainment along.\" According to an article by Army Archerd published in Variety, Crystal initially declined to host again citing his busy film schedule that included Mr. Saturday Night and . However, after Cates sent him a funeral wreath with a poem declaring \"The show and I are dead without you\" followed by a head of a fake dead horse similar to one featured in the film The Godfather, Crystal accepted the role as emcee.\n\nAs with previous ceremonies he produced, Cates centered the show around a theme. Inspired by the Year of the Woman in which a record four women were elected to the United States Senate, Cates christened the 1993 show with the theme \"Oscar Celebrates Women and the Movies\". In tandem with the theme, AMPAS gathered 67 female Oscar winners of every category for a photo that was later shown at the start of the telecast. Actress and singer Liza Minnelli performed \"Ladies' Day\", a song written by Fred Ebb and John Kander specifically for the broadcast.

Associated Press television critic Frazier Moore lamented that Crystal \"seemed incredibly listless\". He also questioned the purpose of the \"Year of the Woman\" theme writing, \"The Oscar show itself seemed at odds with its own feminist theme.\" Robert Bianco from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette derided Allen's musical production numbers, comparing them to the disastrous opening number at the 61st ceremony held in 1989. Columnist Matt Roush of USA Today complained, \"Crystal, in a by-now-familiar performance, has, in four years, taken a plum assignment and, by repetition, reduced it to shtick.\" He also wrote that, \"The song medley is getting old hat,\" and the \"smug references to his flop Mr. Saturday Night were out of an improv amateur night.\"\n\nThe telecast also received unfavorable reaction from various public feminist figures. In an interview with Los Angeles Daily News author and activist Betty Friedan condemned the \"Year of the Woman\" theme commenting, \"It had no basis in reality. On behalf of women directors, cinematographer, and producers, I resent the travesty of calling that a tribute.\" Likewise, President of the National Organization for Women's Los Angeles chapter Tammy Bruce chastised ceremony's feminist tribute as \"one of the most hypocritical, patronizing things I saw in my whole life.\" In response, Gil Cates responded towards the criticism of the theme stating, \"The theme developed and raised consciousness in a way that I think is positive, not only for the individual in general but for individual women specifically.\" He also quoted an ancient Chinese proverb later made famous by former U.S. First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt saying, \"It is better to light one candle than to curse the darkness\"\n\nDespite the adverse reception, the ABC broadcast drew in an average of 45.7 million people over its length, which was a 3% increase from the previous year's ceremony.

In 1913, he went back to France to study at the University of Paris and it was in this year that Niels Bohr submitted his first paper on the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom. From 1914 until 1919, during World War I, he served in the military, developing the valve amplifier with G. A. Beauvais. At the conclusion of the war, he returned to the University of Paris to continue his studies with Paul Langevin, and was awarded his Docteur \u00e8s science in 1920. Brillouin's thesis jury was composed of Langevin, Marie Curie, and Jean Perrin and his thesis topic was on the quantum theory of solids. In his thesis, he proposed an equation of state based on the atomic vibrations (phonons) that propagate through it.

In spring 1971, Alabama assistants Mal Moore and Jimmy Sharpe traveled to Austin where they saw first hand how the wishbone operated during Texas' final week of spring practice.\n", "title": "1971 Alabama Crimson Tide football team", "pid": "p_4273" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "The 1st battalion embarked for Copenhagen in July 1807", "indices": [ 80, 134 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "the earliest historical records of Copenhagen are from the end of the 12th century", "indices": [ 5015, 5097 ], "passage": "Copenhagen" } ], "question_links": [ "Copenhagen" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 5109, "text": "12th century", "passage": "copenhagen", "end": 5121 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "How old is the city that the 1st battalion embarked for in July 1807?", "qid": "q_9809" }, { "context": [ { "text": "The 1st battalion embarked for Copenhagen in July 1807 and saw action at the Battle of Copenhagen in August 1807", "indices": [ 80, 192 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Battle of Copenhagen (1807)" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "How many people died in the battle that the 1st battalion saw action at in August 1807?", "qid": "q_9810" }, { "context": [ { "text": "It then embarked for Portugal in May 1808 for service under General Sir Arthur Wellesley in the Peninsular War", "indices": [ 256, 366 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "\n\nArthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, (1 May 1769 \u2013 14 September 1852)", "indices": [ -2, 74 ], "passage": "Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington" } ], "question_links": [ "Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington" ], "answer": { "answer_value": "83", "answer_unit": "years", "type": "value" }, "question": "How old was the general who led the first battalion in the Peninsula War when he died?", "qid": "q_9811" }, { "context": [ { "text": "It then embarked for Portugal in May 1808 for service under General Sir Arthur Wellesley", "indices": [ 256, 344 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, (1 May 1769", "indices": [ 0, 53 ], "passage": "Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington" } ], "question_links": [ "Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 97, "text": "1 May 1769 ", "passage": "arthur wellesley, 1st duke of wellington", "end": 108 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "When was the general born who led the first battalion in the Peninsula War?", "qid": "q_9812" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 111, 121 ], "target": "Copenhagen" }, { "indices": [ 157, 177 ], "target": "Battle of Copenhagen (1807)" }, { "indices": [ 204, 215 ], "target": "Gunboat War" }, { "indices": [ 277, 285 ], "target": "Portugal" }, { "indices": [ 324, 344 ], "target": "Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington" }, { "indices": [ 352, 366 ], "target": "Peninsular War" }, { "indices": [ 389, 405 ], "target": "Battle of Roli\u00e7a" }, { "indices": [ 429, 446 ], "target": "Battle of Vimeiro" }, { "indices": [ 512, 529 ], "target": "Battle of Corunna" }, { "indices": [ 555, 562 ], "target": "Bayonet" }, { "indices": [ 614, 628 ], "target": "John Moore (British Army officer)" }, { "indices": [ 775, 784 ], "target": "The Downs (ship anchorage)" }, { "indices": [ 831, 849 ], "target": "Walcheren Campaign" }, { "indices": [ 885, 892 ], "target": "Kingdom of Holland" } ], "text": "A second battalion was raised in 1804 to increase the strength of the regiment.

The first two extracellular loops of chemokine receptors are linked together by disulfide bonding between two conserved cysteine residues. The N-terminal end of a chemokine receptor binds to chemokine(s) and is important for ligand specificity. G-proteins couple to the C-terminal end, which is important for receptor signaling following ligand binding. Although chemokine receptors share high amino acid identity in their primary sequences, they typically bind a limited number of ligands.

Soon, vast sultanates were established overlapping the existing indigenous Filipino barangay (village) governing system and Indianized royalty. The two largest were the Sultanate of Maguindanao, which loosely governed most of southern Mindanao and the Sultanate of Sulu, which included Basilan, Jolo, and parts of Borneo.

Three weeks later, the angle picked back up when an envelope was delivered to TNA General Manager Hulk Hogan containing a piece of paper with four cards attached reading, \"8AA8\" (Dead man's hand), and written below it, \"See You Next Week!!\", much to his bewilderment. The next week, Hogan and Sting were attacked by the group that grew in larger numbers, leaving Hogan with a storyline pelvic fracture and forcing him to take time away and put his GM duties on pause, with Sting filling in during his absence. Aces & Eights proceeded to attack various members of the TNA roster both faces and heels and one of which was essentially Bully Ray. Suspicion of various members of the TNA roster having a possible affiliation with Aces & Eights soon arose. In August, Aces & Eights encountered a series of brawls with the roster and on one of those occasions featured the return of Hogan to help fend for the roster. In September, Aces & Eights held attorney Joseph Park (who had started investigating them for Hogan) to ransom, to lure Hogan and Sting into their clubhouse to make a deal where the group would wrestle and gain \"full access\" to TNA events if they won a match, and in return, they would release Joseph Park. Ultimately, Hogan gave in and scheduled two members of Aces & Eights to take on Sting and a partner of his choice on October 14 at Bound for Glory. On the October 4 episode of Impact Wrestling, Sting, seeking out a partner, found Mr. Anderson as the best candidate, but Anderson was attacked by the group before he could take the position.

Henceforth apart from traditions, this surah qualifies to be Meccan typically. According to some classical traditions, commentaries and tafsirs the proposed order is 2nd in place right after Muhammad's first revelation. The supporting argument of this surah being the second revelation is that Arabs were unaware of angels in the time of Jahiliyyah and news of Muhammad's first revelation made them curious about the sanity of Muhammad, thus to refute this idea God revealed the first seven ayaat of Surah Qalam.\n", "title": "Al-Qalam", "pid": "p_4329" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "The letters represented the first initial of its corporate parents: CBS (the parent company of UPN) and the Warner Bros. unit of Time Warner.", "indices": [ 685, 826 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "CBS Corporation" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "What does CBS stand ford?", "qid": "q_9928" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 43, 68 ], "target": "The WB 100+ Station Group" }, { "indices": [ 107, 112 ], "target": "Cable television" }, { "indices": [ 131, 137 ], "target": "The WB" }, { "indices": [ 212, 219 ], "target": "Xfinity" }, { "indices": [ 269, 278 ], "target": "Call signs in North America" }, { "indices": [ 379, 382 ], "target": "UPN" }, { "indices": [ 393, 397 ], "target": "WHTV" }, { "indices": [ 544, 562 ], "target": "Young Broadcasting" }, { "indices": [ 677, 683 ], "target": "The CW" }, { "indices": [ 753, 756 ], "target": "CBS Corporation" }, { "indices": [ 793, 805 ], "target": "Warner Bros." }, { "indices": [ 814, 825 ], "target": "WarnerMedia" } ], "text": "In September 1998, alongside the launch of The WB 100+ Station Group (The WB 100+), WLAJ began operating a cable-only affiliate of The WB which was part of the national service.

When a horse reacts to a threat, it may initially \"freeze\" in preparation to take flight. The fight-or-flight reaction begins in the amygdala, which triggers a neural response in the hypothalamus. The initial reaction is followed by activation of the pituitary gland and secretion of the hormone ACTH. The adrenal gland is activated almost simultaneously and releases the neurotransmitters epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine (noradrenaline). The release of chemical messengers results in the production of the hormone cortisol, which increases blood pressure and blood sugar, and suppresses the immune system.

However, other organism groups, such as calcifying algae, especially members of the red algae Rhodophyta, and molluscs (especially the rudist bivalves during the Cretaceous Period) have created massive structures at various times. During the Cambrian Period, the conical or tubular skeletons of Archaeocyatha, an extinct group of uncertain affinities (possibly sponges), built reefs. Other groups, such as the Bryozoa have been important interstitial organisms, living between the framework builders. The corals which build reefs today, the Scleractinia, arose after the Permian\u2013Triassic extinction event that wiped out the earlier rugose corals (as well as many other groups), and became increasingly important reef builders throughout the Mesozoic Era. They may have arisen from a rugose coral ancestor. Rugose corals built their skeletons of calcite and have a different symmetry from that of the scleractinian corals, whose skeletons are aragonite. However, there are some unusual examples of well-preserved aragonitic rugose corals in the Late Permian. In addition, calcite has been reported in the initial post-larval calcification in a few scleractinian corals. Nevertheless, scleractinian corals (which arose in the middle Triassic) may have arisen from a non-calcifying ancestor independent of the rugosan corals (which disappeared in the late Permian).\n", "title": "Reef", "pid": "p_4340" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "He opened 2015\u201316 season", "indices": [ 0, 24 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "In week 3, he scored the opener of the away game directly from a set-piece against Gaziantepspor", "indices": [ 141, 237 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "The club colours are red and black.", "indices": [ 2627, 2662 ], "passage": "Gaziantepspor" } ], "question_links": [ "Gaziantepspor" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 2674, "text": " red and black", "passage": "gaziantepspor", "end": 2688 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "What are the team colors for the opposing team where O\u011fuzhan \u00d6zyakup scored the opener in week 3 of the 2015-16 season?", "qid": "q_9947" }, { "context": [ { "text": "He produced another assist to Olcay \u015eahan in week 9 game played away against Antalyaspor", "indices": [ 405, 493 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "he scored the opener of the away game directly from a set-piece against Gaziantepspor", "indices": [ 152, 237 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Gaziantepspor", "Antalyaspor" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "Which opposing Turkish Football club O\u011fuzhan \u00d6zyakup played against had a better winning record during the 2015-16 season, Gaziantepspor or Antalyaspor?", "qid": "q_9948" }, { "context": [ { "text": "On 22 October 2015, \u00d6zyakup assisted Mario G\u00f3mez on UEFA Europa League grup stage week 3 game against FC Lokomotiv Moscow", "indices": [ 1081, 1202 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "The 2015\u201316 UEFA Europa League group stage was played from 17 September to 10 December 2015.

This earned Alabama a place in the national semi-final to be played at the Sugar Bowl against first-seeded Clemson, the third consecutive playoff meeting between the two schools. Alabama won by a score of 24\u20136 and advanced to the 2018 College Football Playoff National Championship against SEC champion Georgia.

She began returning to performing in the early 2000s, most notably appearing as Janis Joplin in the off-Broadway musical Love, Janis. As she was recording new music and preparing a comeback to the music industry, she died at her home in 2004 from a previously undiagnosed cerebral aneurysm. \n", "title": "Laura Branigan", "pid": "p_4372" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "In November 1989, Case scored her first television role playing Dawn Winthrop on the ABC Network soap opera General Hospital.", "indices": [ 0, 125 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "List of General Hospital characters (1980s)", "General Hospital" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "How many episodes did Case's character appear in on General Hospital?", "qid": "q_10016" }, { "context": [ { "text": "In November 1989, Case scored her first television role playing Dawn Winthrop on the ABC Network soap opera General Hospital.

Lendvai soon overcame early difficulties and was naturalized in Austria in 1959, and became a journalist and commentator on Eastern Europe. He was the correspondent for Eastern Europe of the daily Die Presse and the Financial Times for twenty-two years. He also contributed to The Economist and wrote columns for Austrian, German and Swiss newspapers and radio stations. In 1982 Lendvai became editor-in-chief at the Eastern Europe department of the ORF public broadcasting company and director-general of Radio \u00d6sterreich International in 1987. His weekly columns were published by the newspaper Der Standard. In 1985, a Cultural Forum dubbed the East-West summit was organized by the Hungarian communist leadership, to which 900 politicians, writers and other notable people were invited. At the same time a \"counter cultural forum\" was planned with expected participation of \"dissidents and opposition groups\". Gy\u00f6rgy Konr\u00e1d was one of the intended speakers. In 2010, a Hungarian pro-government newspaper accused Paul Lendvai of collaboration with the communist regime by having provided information about the counter-forum to the Hungarian authorities.

Lendvai rejected the accusations and said that the campaign against him was due to his criticism of the present government in his latest book. Former conservative MP Debreczeni, noted philosopher Sandor Radnoti, Austrian conservative leader Erhard Busek defended his integrity. J\u00e1nos Nagy, the ambassador whom Lendvai talked to at the time, was interviewed about the matter on Klubr\u00e1di\u00f3 and insisted that his reports always faithfully rendered what was said.

That summer Queen Elizabeth was Southampton's guest at Titchfield Abbey, but in November both Southampton and his father-in-law, Viscount Montague, were implicated in the Northern Rebellion. In a letter dated 1 December 1569 the Spanish ambassador, Guerau de Spes, wrote to the Duke of Alba that both Montague and Southampton 'have sent to me for advice as to whether they should take up arms or go over to your Excellency'. According to Akrigg, Montague and Southampton set sail for Flanders, but were driven back by contrary winds. Although they were ordered to come immediately to court to explain their actions, to all appearances things were smoothed over, and neither Southampton nor his father-in-law was punished for his involvement. However matters came to a head in May 1570 when Pope Pius V excommunicated the Queen, and English Catholics were required to choose between loyalty to religion and loyalty to the sovereign. Southampton sought counsel from John Lesley, Bishop of Ross, at a secret meeting in the marshes of Lambeth, where they were intercepted by the watch, and in consequence, on 18 June 1570 the Privy Council ordered Southampton's arrest and confined him to the house of Henry Becher, Sheriff of London. On 15 July he was placed in the custody of Sir William More at Loseley, where More was under instructions to induce Southampton to take part in Protestant devotions in the household.

Old Salt Lake was in what is now Redondo Beach, California. In 1856 Henry Johnson and lawyer William Allanson purchased the Old Salt Lake land and built a salt evaporation pond to make and sell salt. The site of Old Salt Lake was designated a California Historic Landmark (No.373) on Sept. 6, 1941. On December 15, 1854 Manuel Dominguez sold 215 acres of the Rancho San Pedro for $500 to Los Angeles businessmen Henry Allanson and William Johnson. Johnson and Allanson also built a boiling house with 48 wood fired kettles to make salt faster than the evaporation pond. Johnson and Allanson exported much of the salt produced by transporting it 10 miles overland to the Port of San Pedro. Spanish Missionaries also dug up salt from the lake in the time of Spanish missions in California. The Salt lake was a large pond that was 600 by 1800 feet, it was fed by a natural spring. Johnson and Allanson shut down the salt works in 1862 and sold it to businessman, Frances Mellus. Frances Mellus ran the Pacific Salt Works at the site until 1881. In 1881 Liverpool Salt Works at the Salton Sea, a rival company, purchased Pacific Salt Works and the closed. The lake was 600 feet from the Redondo Beach sea shore at an elevation of about 10 feet. In 1955 a granite marker was put up at the site on Harbor Drive near the AES electricity power plant. In 1901 the fire boiler were removed and the buildings were abandoned for almost 20 years, in 1924 all structures at the site were removed. Southern California Edison built the south Bay power plant on the site in 1948.

Warrington spent most of his career on the Texas frontier and served under Colonel Ranald S. Mackenzie during the Texas-Indian Wars of the 1870s. On December 8, 1874, he and ten cavalrymen pursued a group of hostile Comanche Indians through the Muchague Valley. Both groups were riding at a full gallop and several riders of Warrington's unit were left behind. Warrington personally captured one Indian, turning him over to a trooper whose horse could not continue, and resumed the pursuit with Privates Frederick Bergendahl and John O'Sullivan. After five miles, their horses exhausted, the Comanches dismounted and decided to shoot it out with the troopers. Climbing out of the valley onto the plain, they opened fire on Warrington and his men as they climbed up after them. Warrington eventually became separated from the others and found himself at the mercy of five Comanche warriors. He was forced to fight them off single-handed and, after exhausting his ammunition, used his rifle as a club in hand-to-hand combat. Bergendahl and O'Sullivan found themselves in a similar situation and killed all but one of their attackers. O'Sullivan pursued the lone survivor but was unable to catch him. All three men received the Medal of Honor four months later, Warrington being the only officer of the Indian Wars to receive the award following the battle rather than years afterwards like other officers.

Parschau had served with the same, Brieftauben-Abteilung Ostende unit, abbreviated as BAO in German military communications of the time, in Belgium as Oberleutnant von Buttlar did in November 1914, where the two German officers could have first made contact. As A.16/15 still bore the green color of von Buttlar's old unit, the aircraft became distinctive as Parschau's 'Green Machine', right from the outbreak of World War I. Parschau flew this machine on a roving commission for nearly a year, serving with FFAs 22 and 42 and the aforementioned \"BAO\" unit, which was actually a group of four FFA units operating as one for the Oberste Heeresleitung or OHL, the World War I German Army's High Command office. In this period, Parschau flew his distinctive machine on the Champagne front during October and November 1914. Following this were periods in Flanders and Alsace-Lorraine before Parschau was posted first to West Prussia and then on to Galicia on the Eastern Front. His travels were marked on the Fokker's fuselage. In late May 1915, this airplane was the first one to be fitted with a workable synchronization gear: the Fokker Stangensteuerung synchronizer, along with a Parabellum MG 14 machine gun for its armament. This airplane functioned as the prototype Fokker Eindecker for Parschau's use and combat evaluation.\n", "title": "Otto Parschau", "pid": "p_4412" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "He defeated the sitting Labor member Ted Kinsella at the 1932 landslide that swept away the government of Jack Lang.", "indices": [ 141, 257 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Edward Parnell \"Ted\" Kinsella CBE (10 June 1893 \u2013 20 December 1967", "indices": [ 0, 66 ], "passage": "Ted Kinsella" }, { "text": "John Thomas Lang was born on 21 December 1876 ", "indices": [ 625, 671 ], "passage": "Jack Lang (Australian politician)" } ], "question_links": [ "Jack Lang (Australian politician)", "Ted Kinsella" ], "answer": { "answer_value": "95", "answer_unit": "years", "type": "value" }, "question": "What were the combined ages of Jack Lang and Ted Kinsella the year that Cecil Monro defeated Kinsella in an election?", "qid": "q_10097" }, { "context": [ { "text": "Monro retained the seat until the 1941 election, when his defeat by Labor's Arthur Williams contributed to the fall of the conservative coalition government of Bertram Stevens.", "indices": [ 258, 434 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Arthur John Leonard Williams (17 December 1888 \u2013 30 September 1968)", "indices": [ 0, 67 ], "passage": "Arthur Williams (Australian politician)" }, { "text": "Sir Bertram Sydney Barnsdale Stevens (2 January 1889 \u2013 24 March 1973", "indices": [ 0, 68 ], "passage": "Bertram Stevens (politician)" } ], "question_links": [ "Bertram Stevens (politician)", "Arthur Williams (Australian politician)" ], "answer": { "answer_value": "105", "answer_unit": "years", "type": "value" }, "question": "What was the combined ages of Bertram Stevens and Arthur Williams the year that Monro lost his election to Williams?", "qid": "q_10098" }, { "context": [ { "text": "Monro re-entered parliament as the Liberal member for the new seat of Sutherland at the 1950 state election.

He is first mentioned in the year 313 BC, when he was left by his brother in the command of Chalcis, to make headway against Ptolemy, the general of Antigonus, when Cassander himself was recalled to the defence of Macedonia. Again, in 302 BC, when the general coalition was formed against Antigonus, Pleistarchus was sent forward by his brother, with an army 12,000 foot and 500 horse, to join Lysimachus in Asia. As the Hellespont and entrance of the Euxine was occupied by Demetrius, he endeavoured to transport his troops from Odessus direct to Heraclea, but lost by far the greater part on the passage, some having been captured by the enemy's ships, while others perished in a storm, in which Pleistarchus himself narrowly escaped shipwreck. Notwithstanding this misfortune, he seems to have rendered efficient service to the confederates, for which he was rewarded after the battle of Ipsus (301 BC) by obtaining the province of Cilicia, as an independent government. This, however, he did not long retain, being expelled from it in the following year by Demetrius, almost without opposition. Afterwards he is recorded in inscriptions as the ruler of Caria; he was apparently given this province after the battle of Ipsus, and ruled there for at least seven years. Pausanias mentions him as having been defeated by the Athenians in an action in which he commanded the cavalry and auxiliaries of Cassander; but the period at which this event took place is uncertain.

He remained in the Belgian Congo in World War II. In 1930 there had been 30 Protestant missionaries in the Congo, but by 1939 Dr. Price was one of only five left. Although Belgium had been invaded by the Nazis, the Belgian government in exile in London continued to control the Congo and its valuable resources. In 1944 he published a paper on the grammar of the Ngombe language (one of the languages of Equateur Province) and thereafter contributed to the updating of the British and Foreign Bible Society's 1930 Ngombe New Testament, which was republished in 1956. In 1947 he was sent on a sabbatical to the UK by the Baptist Missionary Society to specialise as an orthopaedic surgeon (FRCS Ed. 1947). Returning to the Congo he went first to Sona Bata mission (part of the American Foreign Baptist Mission Society (A.F.B.M.S.), now American Baptist International Ministries), which already had a medical aide training school, and where he was tasked with helping to build Kimpese hospital. Kimpese hospital was set up by the protestant missions in the Congo as an interdenominational training hospital for medical auxiliaries. A Protestant hospital at Kimpese had first been mooted in 1923 (there had been an Evangelical training Institute there since 1909), but was strongly resisted by the Roman Catholic Church.. Before the war, the Belgian colonial government had refused to subsidise any Protestant educational enterprise, even the training of medical aides (the sole exception was the BMS medical aides training school at Yakusu). After the war this policy was reversed by the Socialist governments of Achille Van Acker and Protestant establishments were subsidised on the same basis as Catholic ones. As a result the Protestant IME (Institut Medical Evangelique) Kimpese could be opened. He was at IME Kimpese as an orthopaedic surgeon 1947-1956. He was succeeded in this post, as he had been at Pimu by Dr David Hedley Wilson, later the first President of the Royal college of Emergency Medicine. IME Kimpese \"became rapidly known throughout the lower Congo river and beyond for the high standard of its nursing school and hospital\".

According to Clinton, he faced criticism from various conservatives during his administration for being too obsessed with Bin Laden. Clinton also noted that his administration created the first comprehensive anti-terrorist operation, led by Richard Clarke\u2014whom Clinton accuses the Bush Administration of demoting. Clinton also said he worked hard to try to kill Bin Laden. Former international negotiator and current businessman, financier and media commentator Mansoor Ijaz claimed that from 1996\u20131998, he had opened up unofficial negotiations with Sudan to lift terrorism sanctions from that country in exchange for intelligence information about the terrorist groups Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah and Hamas. He claimed that Sudan was also prepared to offer custody of terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden, who had been living in the country and launching operations. According to Ijaz, neither Clinton nor National Security Advisor Sandy Berger responded to the situation. Bin Laden later left Sudan and established his operations in Afghanistan under the protection of the Taliban and, with his network, planned out terrorist attacks against American interests worldwide, including attacks on American embassies in Tunisia and Sudan as well as the bombing of USS Cole. The most infamous were the attacks of September 11, 2001 that occurred under Clinton's successor, George W. Bush nine months after Clinton left office.

Anemophilous plants possess well-exposed stamens so that the pollens are exposed to wind currents and also have large and feathery stigma to easily trap airborne pollen grains. Pollen from anemophilous plants tends to be smaller and lighter than pollen from entomophilous ones, with very low nutritional value to insects. However, insects sometimes gather pollen from staminate anemophilous flowers at times when higher-protein pollens from entomophilous flowers are scarce. Anemophilous pollens may also be inadvertently captured by bees' electrostatic field. This may explain why, though bees are not observed to visit ragweed flowers, its pollen is often found in honey made during the ragweed floral bloom. Other flowers that are generally anemophilous are observed to be actively worked by bees, with solitary bees often visiting grass flowers, and the larger honeybees and bumblebees frequently gathering pollen from corn tassels and other grains.\n", "title": "Anemophily", "pid": "p_4468" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "On August 4, the band rolled out an ice cream truck outside of the Lollapalooza festival in Chicago promoting the album", "indices": [ 374, 493 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Lollapalooza (Lolla) is an annual four-day music festival based in Chicago, Illinois at Grant Park", "indices": [ 0, 98 ], "passage": "Lollapalooza" } ], "question_links": [ "Lollapalooza" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 114, "text": "Grant Park", "passage": "lollapalooza", "end": 124 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "What venue was the ice cream truck at?", "qid": "q_10211" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 338, 349 ], "target": "Saturday Night Live (season 42)" }, { "indices": [ 353, 372 ], "target": "Saturday Night Live" }, { "indices": [ 441, 453 ], "target": "Lollapalooza" }, { "indices": [ 466, 473 ], "target": "Chicago" }, { "indices": [ 558, 565 ], "target": "Jingle" }, { "indices": [ 706, 712 ], "target": "Tonite (LCD Soundsystem song)" }, { "indices": [ 731, 740 ], "target": "Zane Lowe" }, { "indices": [ 757, 764 ], "target": "Beats 1" }, { "indices": [ 920, 927 ], "target": "Spotify" }, { "indices": [ 931, 946 ], "target": "Virtual reality" }, { "indices": [ 1168, 1178 ], "target": "Room scale" }, { "indices": [ 1213, 1224 ], "target": "Oculus Rift" }, { "indices": [ 1301, 1314 ], "target": "Google Daydream" }, { "indices": [ 1457, 1466 ], "target": "Amsterdam" }, { "indices": [ 1494, 1500 ], "target": "Google" }, { "indices": [ 1967, 1979 ], "target": "Rian Johnson" }, { "indices": [ 2067, 2079 ], "target": "Sissy Spacek" }, { "indices": [ 2084, 2100 ], "target": "David Strathairn" }, { "indices": [ 2114, 2124 ], "target": "Teleportation" } ], "text": "LCD Soundsystem released \"Call the Police\" and \"American Dream\" together as a digital double-A-side single on May 5, 2017, acting as the lead single from the album.

The band promoted the songs by performing both during the May 6 episode of the 42nd season of Saturday Night Live. On August 4, the band rolled out an ice cream truck outside of the Lollapalooza festival in Chicago promoting the album. The truck played songs from the album in the form of ice cream jingles through its speaker. A Twitter account for the truck was also launched to provide updates on where its current location was. On August 16, \"Tonite\" was premiered on Zane Lowe's radio show on Beats 1. Along with the premiere was the release of a music video for the track, directed by Joel Kefali. It was also subsequently made available for streaming on Spotify. A virtual reality experience made to accompany the song, titled \"Dance Tonite\", was released to the public on August 22, though first previewed privately in June. Available to use in an Internet browser, the experience allowed people with room scale virtual reality kits, such as the Oculus Rift, to dance along to the track. Those with more simpler VR headsets, like the Daydream View, could view the experience as well the dance performances done by others. The band teamed up with the Puckney and Moniker design studios from Amsterdam for the project, alongside Google's data arts team. On August 31, the band released a 14-minute instrumental track called \"Pulse (v.1)\" as a free download. On Facebook, Murphy wrote that the track was \"not precisely part of the record,\" but instead thought of it as an \"addendum\" meant to be played after the album's closing track, \"Black Screen\". It was originally left off of American Dream due to it not being able to fit on the vinyl format of the album. A music video for \"Oh Baby\", directed by Rian Johnson, was released on September 20, 2018.

The \"Rump Parliament\" exercised both executive and legislative powers, with a smaller Council of State also having some executive functions. Cromwell remained a member of the \"Rump\" and was appointed a member of the Council. In the early months after the execution of Charles I, Cromwell tried but failed to unite the original \"Royal Independents\" led by St John and Saye and Sele, which had fractured during 1648. Cromwell had been connected to this group since before the outbreak of civil war in 1642 and had been closely associated with them during the 1640s. However, only St John was persuaded to retain his seat in Parliament. The Royalists, meanwhile, had regrouped in Ireland, having signed a treaty with the Irish known as \"Confederate Catholics\". In March, Cromwell was chosen by the Rump to command a campaign against them. Preparations for an invasion of Ireland occupied Cromwell in the subsequent months. In the latter part of the 1640s, Cromwell came across political dissidence in the \"New Model Army\". The \"Leveller\" or \"Agitator\" movement was a political movement that emphasised popular sovereignty, extended suffrage, equality before the law, and religious tolerance. These sentiments were expressed in the manifesto \"Agreement of the People\" in 1647. Cromwell and the rest of the \"Grandees\" disagreed with these sentiments in that they gave too much freedom to the people; they believed that the vote should only extend to the landowners. In the \"Putney Debates\" of 1647, the two groups debated these topics in hopes of forming a new constitution for England. There were rebellions and mutinies following the debates, and in 1649, the Bishopsgate mutiny resulted in the execution of Leveller Robert Lockyer by firing squad. The next month, the Banbury mutiny occurred with similar results. Cromwell led the charge in quelling these rebellions. After quelling Leveller mutinies within the English army at Andover and Burford in May, Cromwell departed for Ireland from Bristol at the end of July.\n", "title": "Oliver Cromwell", "pid": "p_4473" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "Benoni Stinson (1789-1869), a United Baptist minister first in Kentucky and then in Indiana.", "indices": [ 191, 283 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": " Its capital and largest city is Indianapolis.

Stinson was ordained in Kentucky in 1821, and evidently was already leaning toward or embracing Arminian theology. Shortly after he moved to Indiana, in 1822 the Wabash District Association decided to divide into two bodies, for convenience sake. Stinson's church would be in the new body, and he labored to have a statement that \"the preaching that Christ tasted death for every man shall be no bar to fellowship\" would be included in the articles of faith. The next fall, in 1823, the Liberty Baptist Church of Howell, Indiana was organized with 33 members, and Elder Stinson was called as pastor. Three other churches were soon organized, all in the Evansville, Indiana area. In October 1824, representatives from these four churches came together and organized the Liberty Association of General Baptists. This appears to be the first time the name \"General\" was officially associated with this movement. A number of General Baptist local associations were organized from 1824 to 1870. During this period, some attempts were made by the Liberty Association to correspond with the northern Free Will Baptists, but this appears to have eventually proved unsatisfactory to both parties. In 1870, a convention was called to meet with Harmony Church, Gallatin County, Illinois, with the idea of organizing a general association comprising all the annual General Baptist associations. Delegates from Liberty, Mt. Olivet and Ohio associations gathered and formed the General Association of General Baptists. This body has grown and developed until it now embraces about 60 associations, 816 churches and more than 73,000 members. The denominational headquarters are located in Poplar Bluff, Missouri, where they operate Stinson Press. The official denominational publication is The General Baptist Messenger. The General Association oversees publication of Sunday School literature, a home mission board, a foreign mission board, and the Oakland City University in Oakland City, Indiana.

As far as is now known, Homberg had its first documentary mention in 1319. In the document in question, an arbitrator confirmed that Waldgrave Friedrich of Kyrburg had to forgo all his claims to rights to Hoenberg and a series of other places in the \u201cGericht auf der H\u00f6he\u201d (\u201cCourt on the Heights\u201d). The Gericht auf der H\u00f6he was said to be a constituent district of the \u201cHochgericht auf der Heide\u201d (\u201cHigh Court on the Heath\u201d), which comprised, roughly, lands in a triangle bounded by the Nahe, the Glan and the Steinalp (another river).

He was obviously a nobleman who came from Homberg, but nothing else about him has come to light. The villages under the Gericht auf der H\u00f6he, among which was Homberg, were pledged first, in 1363, by Johann von Dhaun to Sponheim-Starkenburg and then in 1443 by Waldgrave and Rhinegrave Friedrich to the last of the Counts of Veldenz, namely Friedrich III, whose daughter Anna married King Ruprecht's son Count Palatine Stephan. The document whereby this arrangement was laid out referred to the village's inhabitants as the \u201cpoor people of Grumbach\u201d. By uniting his own Palatine holdings with the now otherwise heirless County of Veldenz \u2013 his wife had inherited the county upon her father Friedrich III's death in 1444, but not his comital title \u2013 and by redeeming the hitherto pledged County of Zweibr\u00fccken, Stephan founded a new County Palatine, as whose comital residence he chose the town of Zweibr\u00fccken: the County Palatine \u2013 later Duchy \u2013 of Palatinate-Zweibr\u00fccken.

Small pieces of messenger RNA (or mRNA) carry a copy of the cell's DNA to the ribosomes where the mRNA directs the ribosomes to create the proteins that the cells need. Viruses (like HIV) have their own set of mRNA, and they use the ribosomes of the cell they infected to make new viruses to propagate the infection throughout the body. Lisziewicz's idea was to create antisense oligonucleotides that are complementary to the HIV's viral mRNA. These complementary DNA pieces can bind to the HIV viral mRNA and prevent the HIV virus from replicating itself. The use of antisense oligonucleotides worked very well in cell cultures, and was quickly transferred to clinical trials.\n", "title": "Julianna Lisziewicz", "pid": "p_4487" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "It screened at Tribeca Film Festival in 2018 where it was named a Runner-up in the U.S. Narrative Competition section.", "indices": [ 159, 277 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Best U.S. Narrative Feature.- 2019 \u2013 Burning Cane, written and directed by Phillip Youmans.\n- 2018 \u2013 Diane", "indices": [ 4437, 4543 ], "passage": "Tribeca Film Festival" }, { "text": "The Tribeca Film Festival (TFF) is a prominent film festival held in the Tribeca neighborhood of Manhattan, showcasing a diverse selection of independent films.", "indices": [ 0, 160 ], "passage": "Tribeca Film Festival" } ], "question_links": [ "Tribeca Film Festival" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 4572, "text": " Diane", "passage": "tribeca film festival", "end": 4578 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "Which film won the US Narrative Competition award at the festival Mapplethorpe was named runner-up in?", "qid": "q_10251" }, { "context": [ { "text": "In June 2018, Sklenar was also cast in the independent drama film Indigo Valley", "indices": [ 1043, 1122 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Ron Perlman" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "How much was Ron Perlman's net worth the year Sklenar was cast in the movie Indigo Valley?", "qid": "q_10252" }, { "context": [ { "text": "In June 2018, Sklenar was also cast in the independent drama film Indigo Valley", "indices": [ 1043, 1122 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Ron Perlman" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "What films did Ron Perlman work on the year Sklenar was cast in the film Indigo Valley?", "qid": "q_10253" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 76, 88 ], "target": "Mapplethorpe (film)" }, { "indices": [ 138, 157 ], "target": "Robert Mapplethorpe" }, { "indices": [ 174, 195 ], "target": "Tribeca Film Festival" }, { "indices": [ 242, 268 ], "target": "Tribeca Film Festival" }, { "indices": [ 372, 384 ], "target": "Mapplethorpe (film)" }, { "indices": [ 503, 515 ], "target": "Matt Smith (actor)" }, { "indices": [ 521, 533 ], "target": "Screen International" }, { "indices": [ 601, 621 ], "target": "Robert Mapplethorpe" }, { "indices": [ 749, 753 ], "target": "Vice (2018 film)" }, { "indices": [ 764, 773 ], "target": "Amy Adams" }, { "indices": [ 775, 787 ], "target": "Steve Carell" }, { "indices": [ 789, 803 ], "target": "Christian Bale" }, { "indices": [ 808, 820 ], "target": "Sam Rockwell" }, { "indices": [ 863, 874 ], "target": "Dick Cheney" }, { "indices": [ 894, 907 ], "target": "Academy Awards" }, { "indices": [ 915, 925 ], "target": "Adam McKay" }, { "indices": [ 950, 963 ], "target": "Amir Naderi" }, { "indices": [ 1363, 1374 ], "target": "Ron Perlman" }, { "indices": [ 1376, 1392 ], "target": "Malcolm McDowell" }, { "indices": [ 1394, 1408 ], "target": "Nicholas Braun" }, { "indices": [ 1413, 1425 ], "target": "Leven Rambin" } ], "text": "He was then cast as Edward Mapplethorpe in the 2018 biographical drama film Mapplethorpe, which follows the life of New York photographer Robert Mapplethorpe.

After the end of Mercedonius, the rest of the days of February were observed and the new year began with the first day of March. The overlaid religious festivals of February were so complicated that Julius Caesar opted not to change it at all during his 46 calendar reform. The extra day of his system's leap years were located in the same place as the old intercalary month but he opted to ignore it as a date. Instead, the sixth day before the Kalends of March was simply said to last for 48 hours and all the other days continued to bear their original names. (The Roman practice of inclusive counting initially caused the priests in charge of the calendar to add the extra hours every three years instead of every four and Augustus was obliged to omit them for a span of decades until the system was back to where it should have been.) When the extra hours finally began to be reckoned as two separate days instead of a doubled sixth (\"bissextile\") one, the leap day was still taken to be the one following hard on the February 23 Terminalia. Although February 29 has been popularly understood as the leap day of leap years since the beginning of sequential reckoning of the days of months in the late Middle Ages, in Britain and most other countries, no formal replacement of February 24 as the leap day of the Julian and Gregorian calendars has occurred.

Smith, stated that the FairTax would boost the United States economy. According to the National Bureau of Economic Research and Americans For Fair Taxation, GDP would increase almost 10.5% in the year after the FairTax goes into effect. Real investments could increase by as much as 76% initially and remain 15% above present levels. In addition, the incentive to work would increase by as much as 20%, the economy's capital stock would increase by 42%, labor supply by 4%, output by 12%, and real wage rate by 8%. A study in 2007 by the Beacon Hill Institute of Suffolk University stated that within five years real GDP would increase 10.7% over the current system, domestic investment by 86.3%, capital stock by 9.3%, employment by 9.9%, real wages by 10.2%, and consumption by 1.8%. Laurence Kotlikoff of Boston University finds that the shift to the FairTax would raise marginal labor productivity and real wages over the course of the century by 18.9% and long-run output by 10.6%. Further, studies of the FairTax at Boston University and Rice University suggests the FairTax will bring long-term interest rates down by as much as one third. As falling tax compliance costs lower production costs, exports would increase by 26% initially and remain more than 13% above present levels. According to Professor Dale Jorgenson of Harvard University\u2019s Economics Department, revenues to Social Security and Medicare would double as the size of the economy doubles within 15 years after passage of the FairTax.

He studied alongside American artist John Singer Sargent and worked as an assistant for Joseph Urban. In 1924 he moved to New York, where he attended the Art Students League of New York, studying under George Bridgman, John Sloan, and others. He opened his own studio creating window displays for department stores, like Wanamakers, murals, and advertisements for Saks Fifth Avenue, Bonwit Teller, and Packard Motor Cars in his unique black and white illustrated style. At the same time, he illustrated a series of books by Oscar Wilde for E.P. Dutton followed by others including Phobia on which he based his life-long design focus on psychology, his area of expertise as noted by Fortune Magazine's list of top designers in the country. He entered the emergent field of industrial design and was hired by rapidly-growing RCA Victor, under the leadership of David Sarnoff, who discovered Vassos while painting murals at the WCAU skyscraper in Philadelphia. The company had recently acquired Victor Phonograph, built Radio City, and owned NBC Broadcasting, but needed to amplify and modernize their radio manufacturing business. By hiring Vassos, an up-and-coming industrial designer who created their first Styling department, launched Vassos on a four-decade relationship with the company for whom he designed hundreds of items, while also consulting for numerous other clients like Coca-Cola, Waterman, Universal Artists, Remington, and the United States Government. Vassos's work as an interior designer included the Chrysler Building apartment of photographer Margaret Bourke-White, Nedick's Hot Dog stands, displays for RCA in department stores and the World's Fair,and many others for which he employed modular furniture. He eschewed trendy styles like the extreme-streamlined look, popular in the 1930s, and favored the clean, modern look unadorned with unnecessary elements. He expressed his design philosophy for magazines like Pencil Points and in lectures on modern design and art. Although he was hailed as a top designer in the United States during the 1930s, he slipped away from the spotlight of his industrial design peers like Raymond Loewy, Henry Dreyfuss, and Norman Bel Geddes, largely because he did not open a large firm. Unique among the industrial designers of the 20th century, his work was focused on the intersections between interior decorating, furniture design, and the shapes of phonographs, radios and televisions. His contributions include creating a futuristic living room including television, the slide rule dial on radios, emphasis on the haptic experience of media (knobs and buttons), and the \"user experience,\" years before this term was coined.\n", "title": "John Vassos", "pid": "p_4533" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "Born in what is now Opava in Silesia", "indices": [ 0, 36 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "\n\nOpava (; , , , ) is a city in the eastern Czech Republic", "indices": [ -2, 56 ], "passage": "Opava" } ], "question_links": [ "Opava", "Silesia" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 61, "text": "Czech Republic", "passage": "opava", "end": 75 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "What modern day country was Lucie Weidt born in?", "qid": "q_10368" }, { "context": [ { "text": "Born in what is now Opava in Silesia, Weidt was the daughter of composer and Kapellmeister Heinrich Weidt, who was one of her first teachers, along with Rosa Papier", "indices": [ 0, 164 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Austrian operatic soprano and vocal teacher", "indices": [ 111, 154 ], "passage": "Rosa Papier" } ], "question_links": [ "Rosa Papier" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 145, "text": "opera", "passage": "rosa papier", "end": 150 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "What type of music was Rosa Papier known for?", "qid": "q_10369" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 20, 25 ], "target": "Opava" }, { "indices": [ 29, 36 ], "target": "Silesia" }, { "indices": [ 77, 90 ], "target": "Kapellmeister" }, { "indices": [ 153, 164 ], "target": "Rosa Papier" }, { "indices": [ 218, 236 ], "target": "Vienna State Opera" }, { "indices": [ 385, 405 ], "target": "Anna von Mildenburg" }, { "indices": [ 461, 468 ], "target": "Fidelio" }, { "indices": [ 516, 533 ], "target": "Der Rosenkavalier" }, { "indices": [ 539, 544 ], "target": "Milan" }, { "indices": [ 563, 569 ], "target": "Parsifal" }, { "indices": [ 609, 615 ], "target": "Munich" }, { "indices": [ 674, 692 ], "target": "Metropolitan Opera" }, { "indices": [ 721, 732 ], "target": "Die Walk\u00fcre" }, { "indices": [ 737, 746 ], "target": "Siegfried (opera)" }, { "indices": [ 764, 774 ], "target": "Tannh\u00e4user" }, { "indices": [ 803, 815 ], "target": "Buenos Aires" }, { "indices": [ 837, 849 ], "target": "Leo\u0161 Jan\u00e1\u010dek" }, { "indices": [ 886, 892 ], "target": "Jen\u016ffa" }, { "indices": [ 981, 1003 ], "target": "Die Frau ohne Schatten" } ], "text": "Born in what is now Opava in Silesia, Weidt was the daughter of composer and Kapellmeister Heinrich Weidt, who was one of her first teachers, along with Rosa Papier.

A Game Boy Color version developed by Crawfish Interactive was in development, but it was eventually cancelled due to South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker stating that the game would not be fitting on the Game Boy Color as that console was marketed towards children. However, they did keep a few copies of the Game Boy Color version to commemorate what was originally started as the first South Park game. Despite the Nintendo 64 version's positive reception, the PC and PlayStation versions of South Park were panned by critics. A Sega Dreamcast version was planned for a 2000 release, but was cancelled during development for unknown reasons. In 2018, a ROM image of the Game Boy Color version was leaked online.\n", "title": "South Park (video game)", "pid": "p_4536" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "The Moon and possibly Charon are exceptions among large bodies in that they are thought to have originated by the collision of two large proto-planetary objects", "indices": [ 589, 749 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "The Moon's average orbital distance is 384402 km, or 1.28 light-seconds.", "indices": [ 1388, 1460 ], "passage": "Moon" } ], "question_links": [ "Charon (moon)", "Moon" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "Which of the large bodies thought to have originated by the collision of two large proto-planetary objects orbit their planets at a faster speed?", "qid": "q_10374" }, { "context": [ { "text": "The Moon and possibly Charon are exceptions among large bodies in that they are thought to have originated by the collision of two large proto-planetary objects (see the giant impact hypothesis", "indices": [ 589, 782 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "Which two proto-planetary objects collided according to the theory that explains how the Moon and Charon originated?", "qid": "q_10375" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 66, 74 ], "target": "Retrograde and prograde motion" }, { "indices": [ 104, 122 ], "target": "Regular moon" }, { "indices": [ 182, 199 ], "target": "Circumplanetary disk" }, { "indices": [ 207, 226 ], "target": "Protoplanetary disk" }, { "indices": [ 319, 327 ], "target": "Orbital inclination" }, { "indices": [ 329, 338 ], "target": "Orbital eccentricity" }, { "indices": [ 392, 401 ], "target": "Asteroid" }, { "indices": [ 489, 501 ], "target": "Solar System" }, { "indices": [ 593, 597 ], "target": "Moon" }, { "indices": [ 611, 617 ], "target": "Charon (moon)" }, { "indices": [ 1039, 1045 ], "target": "Triton (moon)" }, { "indices": [ 1175, 1187 ], "target": "Dwarf planet" } ], "text": "The natural satellites orbiting relatively close to the planet on prograde, uninclined circular orbits (regular satellites) are generally thought to have been formed out of the same collapsing region of the protoplanetary disk that created its primary.

The relocation process dispossessed the Indians and resulted in widespread death and disease. Jackson opposed the abolitionist movement, which grew stronger in his second term.

During the 1939\u20131945 war time Williams also made 53 appearances scoring 21 goals in regional league matches, 13 appearances scoring 6 goals in other leagues and 28 appearances scoring 11 goals in war time cup competitions for Bristol City.

The deployment would be highly unusual, as Japan's non-aggressive constitution means Japanese military forces can only be used for defensive purposes. The issue has been controversial in Japan, although the ruling party maintains this should be seen as fighting crime on the high seas, rather than a \"military\" operation. The process of the Prime Minister of Japan, Taro Aso, giving his approval is expected to take approximately one month. However, the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) and the Japanese government face legal problems on how to handle attacks by pirates against ships that either have Japanese personnel, cargo or are under foreign control instead of being under Japanese control as current Article 9 regulations would hamper their actions when deployed to Somalia. It was reported on 4 February 2009, that the JMSDF was sending a fact-finding mission led by Gen Nakatani to the region prior to the deployment of the Murasame-class destroyer Samidare and the Takanami-class destroyer Sazanami to the coast of Somalia with a 13-man team composed of Japanese Ministry of Defense personnel, with members coming from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the JMSDF to visit Yemen, Djibouti, Oman, and Bahrain from 8 to 20 February. Both JMSDF vessels are units of the 8th Escort Division of the 4th Escort Flotilla based in Kure, Hiroshima Prefecture. The JMSDF's special forces unit, the Special Boarding Unit is also scheduled to potentially deploy to Somalia. The SBU has been deployed alongside the two destroyers to Somalia on 14 March 2009. According to JMSDF officials, the deployment would \"regain the trust of the shipping industry, which was lost during the war.\" The JMSDF task force would be deployed off the coast of Somalia for 4 months. In its first mission, the Sazanami was able to ward off pirates attempting to hijack a Singaporean cargo ship. In addition, JMSDF P-3Cs are to be deployed in June from Djibouti to conduct surveillance on the Somali coast. The House of Representatives of Japan has passed an anti-piracy bill, calling for the JMSDF to protect non-Japanese ships and nationals, though there are some concerns that the pro-opposition House of Councillors may reject it. The Diet of Japan has passed an anti-piracy law that called for JMSDF forces to protect all foreign ships traveling off the coast of Somalia aside from protecting Japanese-owned/manned ships despite a veto from the House of Councillors, which the House of Representatives has overturned. In 2009, the Murasame-class destroyer Harusame and the Asagiri-class destroyer Amagiri left port from Yokusuka to replace the two destroyers that had been dispatched earlier in March 2009. Under current arrangements, Japan Coast Guard officers would be responsible for arresting pirates since SDF forces are not allowed to have powers of arrest.\n", "title": "Anti-piracy measures in Somalia", "pid": "p_4570" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "Mark first appears in season two,", "indices": [ 0, 33 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "The second season of the American television medical drama Grey's Anatomy commenced airing on the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) on September 25, 2005", "indices": [ 0, 155 ], "passage": "Grey's Anatomy (season 2)" } ], "question_links": [ "Grey's Anatomy (season 2)" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 176, "text": "September 25, 2005", "passage": "grey's anatomy (season 2)", "end": 194 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "On what day did the season begin that Mark Sloan first appears?", "qid": "q_10461" }, { "context": [ { "text": "Mark travels to Seattle, intent on convincing Addison to return with him to New York", "indices": [ 400, 484 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": " It is the seat of King County, Washington.", "indices": [ 69, 112 ], "passage": "Seattle" } ], "question_links": [ "Seattle" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 122, "text": "Washington", "passage": "seattle", "end": 132 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "What state does Mark travel to, intent on convincing Addison to return to New York with him?", "qid": "q_10462" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 22, 32 ], "target": "Grey's Anatomy (season 2)" }, { "indices": [ 103, 118 ], "target": "Plastic surgery" }, { "indices": [ 165, 179 ], "target": "Derek Shepherd" }, { "indices": [ 181, 196 ], "target": "Patrick Dempsey" }, { "indices": [ 239, 252 ], "target": "Meredith Grey" }, { "indices": [ 343, 350 ], "target": "Addison Montgomery" }, { "indices": [ 352, 362 ], "target": "Kate Walsh (actress)" }, { "indices": [ 390, 398 ], "target": "New York City" }, { "indices": [ 416, 423 ], "target": "Seattle" }, { "indices": [ 578, 590 ], "target": "Grey's Anatomy (season 3)" }, { "indices": [ 1184, 1197 ], "target": "Callie Torres" }, { "indices": [ 1199, 1211 ], "target": "Sara Ramirez" }, { "indices": [ 1265, 1271 ], "target": "Internship (medicine)" }, { "indices": [ 1272, 1285 ], "target": "Meredith Grey" }, { "indices": [ 1287, 1299 ], "target": "Ellen Pompeo" }, { "indices": [ 1851, 1861 ], "target": "Alex Karev" }, { "indices": [ 1863, 1878 ], "target": "Justin Chambers" }, { "indices": [ 1933, 1944 ], "target": "Los Angeles" } ], "text": "Mark first appears in season two, introduced as a highly respected otolaryngologist sub-specialized in plastic surgery and the childhood best friend of neurosurgeon Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey).

On his arrival at New York he met up with the circle around Emma Goldman, Alexander Berkman, and politically like-minded comrades from Germany. Sepp Orter discovered in himself a talent for activism, turning out to have a flair for public speaking. During 1892 he was also the editor of the New York version of , published by the \"Radical Workers' Association\" (\"Radikaler Arbeiter Bund\") and the \"Autonomy\" group which also numbered among its members Josef Peukert. The stay in America was cut short, however. The authorities suspected that Oerter had somehow been involved in Alexander Berkman's attempt to assassinate a wealthy businessman called Henry Clay Frick.

For this work she received praise and encouragement from U.S. President Abraham Lincoln, U.S. Senator Charles Sumner, and other statesmen. During the entire war she maintained a correspondence with Cochin, Gasparin, Laboulaye, Henri Martin, Charles Forbes Ren\u00e9 de Montalembert, and other European sympathizers with the Union.

Booth translated Henri Martin's History of France. The two volumes treating of The Age of Louis XIV were issued in 1864, and two others, the last of the seventeen volumes of the original work, in 1866 under the title of The Decline of the French Monarchy. It was intended to follow these with the other volumes from the beginning, but, although she translated two others, the enterprise was abandoned for lack of success, and no more were printed.

Expressionist movies relied heavily on symbolism and artistic imagery rather than stark realism to tell their stories. Given the grim mood in post-WWI, it was not surprising that these films focused heavily on crime and horror. The film usually credited with sparking the popularity of expressionism is Robert Wiene's The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920), produced by Erich Pommer. The film tells the story of a demented hypnotist who is using a sleepwalker to perform a series of murders. The film featured a dark and twisted visual style - the set was unrealistic with geometric images painted on the floor and shapes in light and shadow cast on walls, the acting was exaggerated and the costumes bizarre. These stylistic elements became trademarks of this cinematic movement. Other notable works of Expressionism are Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau's Nosferatu (1922), Carl Boese and Paul Wegener's (1920) and Metropolis (1927) directed by Fritz Lang. The Expressionist movement began to wane during the mid-1920s, but perhaps the fact that its main creators moved to Hollywood, California, allowed this style to remain influential in world cinema for years to come, particularly in American horror films and film noir and in the works of European directors such as Jean Cocteau and Ingmar Bergman.\n", "title": "Cinema of Germany", "pid": "p_4603" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "He made his first of four combat jumps as an executive officer, participating in the Invasion of Sicily.", "indices": [ 546, 650 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Allied invasion of Sicily" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "How long was the event where Norton made his first of four combat jumps as an executive officer?", "qid": "q_10540" } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 51, 73 ], "target": "12th Infantry Regiment (United States)" }, { "indices": [ 75, 96 ], "target": "4th Infantry Division (United States)" }, { "indices": [ 141, 156 ], "target": "United States Army Infantry School" }, { "indices": [ 322, 344 ], "target": "82nd Airborne Division" }, { "indices": [ 348, 360 ], "target": "North Africa" }, { "indices": [ 386, 403 ], "target": "Executive officer" }, { "indices": [ 425, 458 ], "target": "505th Infantry Regiment (United States)" }, { "indices": [ 631, 649 ], "target": "Allied invasion of Sicily" }, { "indices": [ 718, 732 ], "target": "Salerno" }, { "indices": [ 842, 862 ], "target": "Normandy landings" }, { "indices": [ 982, 984 ], "target": "Operations (military staff)" }, { "indices": [ 1071, 1082 ], "target": "Netherlands" }, { "indices": [ 1139, 1145 ], "target": "Arnhem" }, { "indices": [ 1157, 1180 ], "target": "Operation Market Garden" } ], "text": "Norton's first assignment out of West Point was to 12th Infantry Regiment, 4th Infantry Division as a company commander.

In the middle of 1809 the Colonial Governor of India, the 1st Earl of Minto wanted to conquer the lucrative Dutch owned Spice islands famous for nutmeg, mace and cloves. For the EIC the occupation of these islands meant not only a curtailment of Dutch and French trade and power in the East Indies but also an equivalent gain to the company of the rich trade in spice. In 1810 the islands including Banda Neira, Ambon and Ternate fell to a British invasion with little loss. The following year Java fell to the British which completed the conquest of the Dutch East Indies. Minto appointed Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles as lieutenant governor of Java. The British held on to the islands until the end of the war - the Anglo-Dutch Treaty of 1814 meant that they were handed back to the Dutch. The EIC nevertheless had uprooted a lot of the spice trees for transplantation throughout the British Empire.

After failing to find a record deal, she returned to Miami and joined a band called Sound Dimension. She continued to perform locally, later forming a band called the Terri Gibbs Trio, which performed at a Steak and Ale in Augusta, Georgia. Gibbs then sent a demo tape to record producer Ed Penney of MCA Records, signing to the label in 1980. Penney was a former Boston disc jockey and a long-time songwriter.

He became a Patriot Whig and one of the sharpest critics of the Walpole government, attacking the government's strategy in the War of the Austrian Succession.

The wine region is Germany's third largest in terms of production but some consider it the leading region in terms of international prestige. The region covers the valleys of the rivers Mosel, Saar, and Ruwer from near the mouth of the Mosel at Koblenz and upstream to the vicinity of Trier in the federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate. The area is known for the steep slopes of the region's vineyards overlooking the river. At 65\u00b0 degrees incline, the steepest recorded vineyard in the world is the Calmont vineyard located on the Mosel and belonging to the village of Bremm, and therefore referred to as Bremmer Calmont. The Mosel is mainly famous for its wines made from the Riesling grape, but Elbling and M\u00fcller-Thurgau also contribute to the production, among others. In the past two decades red wine production, especially from the Sp\u00e4tburgunder (Pinot noir), has increased in the Mosel and throughout the German vignoble and has become of increasing interest to the international wine community. Because of the northerly location of the Mosel, the Riesling wines are often light, tending to lower alcohol, crisp and high in acidity, and often exhibit \"flowery\" rather than or in addition to \"fruity\" aromas. Its most common vineyard soil is derived in the main from various kinds of slate deposits, which tend to give the wines a transparent, mineralic aspect, that often exhibit great depth of flavor. In the current era of climate change much work has been done to improve and gain acceptance for completely dry (\"Trocken\") Rieslings in this region, so that most of the more famous makers have found acceptance for such wines, particularly in Europe.\n", "title": "Mosel (wine region)", "pid": "p_4638" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "Under the direction of head coach Brian Ellerbe, the team finished fourth in the Big Ten Conference.", "indices": [ 278, 378 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "Brian Hersholt Ellerbe (born September 1, 1963) is an American basketball coach.

In response, NBC threatened to pull its programming from both WBZ-TV and WPTZ unless Westinghouse agreed to the trade. The swap was made in February 1956, but Westinghouse immediately complained to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the U.S. Department of Justice about NBC's extortion. The threat reemerged in 1960 after NBC announced it would swap the Philadelphia stations in exchange for a competing Boston outlet, then-CBS affiliate WNAC-TV (channel 7) and its sister radio stations, from RKO General.

The argument was primarily between Roderick Murchison and Archibald Geikie on the one hand and James Nicol and Charles Lapworth on the other.

The controversy was finally resolved by the work of Ben Peach and John Horne whose 1907 paper on the subject remains a classic text.

D\u00edaz made his professional wrestling debut in 1954, using the ring name \"El Pel\u00f3n\" (Spanish for \"Baldy\") Chato D\u00edaz, then later on worked under names such as \"Indio\" Mendoza, El Rayo Rojo and El Hombre del Rayo Rojo. He also worked for a while as an enmascarado (masked) character called Gargantua between 1954 and 1955. In 1955 D\u00edaz came up with the ring name \"Ray Mendoza\" after his mentor Ray Carrasco and his wife's maiden name Mendoza. As Mendoza he quickly forged a very effective Rudo character (\"bad guy\") by using well developed physique and charisma to create a ring character that the fans loved to hate. In 1956 Mendoza began working for Salvador Lutteroth's Empresa Mexicana de Lucha Libre (EMLL), the world's oldest and Mexico's largest wrestling promotion. He made his debut at EMLL's main arena Arena Coliseo in February, 1956 in a Battle Royal that also included EMLL headliners Gory Guerrero, El Santo, Cavernario Galindo, Blue Demon and Black Shadow, a match that immediately established him as someone who Lutteroth saw potential in. In EMLL Mendoza struck up a friendship with Ren\u00e9 Guajardo and Karloff Lagarde out of the ring and a \"partnership in crime\" in the ring as the three became one of the most hated trio in lucha libre at the time. The three drew full houses all over Mexico, setting box office record after box office record as they faced t\u00e9cnicos(good guys) such as El Santo, Rayo de Jalisco or Blue Demon. They also had a very financially successful feud with Los Espantos (Espanto I, Espanto II, and Espanto III) in what at the time was a rare rudo vs. rudo feud. Outside the ring Mendoza, Guajardo and Lagarde often spoke out on behalf of the wrestlers, demanding higher pay and better conditions, and since they were able to generate a lot of ticket sales EMLL officials listened to their demands.\n", "title": "Ray Mendoza", "pid": "p_4649" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "The family moved to Holyhead in 1918 because of his father's work in the Merchant Navy.", "indices": [ 93, 180 ], "passage": "main" } ], "question_links": [ "Holyhead" ], "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "What was the population of Holyhead the year that R.

The search for a queen for James began in 1499 when negotiators were appointed to treat with King Henry for the marriage of his eldest daughter, Princess Margaret. Dispensation from the pope for the marriage was received as both James and Margaret were cousins, descended from John Beaufort, Marquess of Dorset. On 8 October 1501, Forman, now postulate to the see of Moray, was commissioned along with Robert Blackadder, Archbishop of Glasgow and Patrick Hepburn, 1st Earl of Bothwell to conclude the treaty of marriage. In that same year, King Henry, in gratitude for his services required that Thomas Savage, Archbishop of York institute Forman as Rector of the parish church of Cottingham. On 26 November 1501, Pope Alexander VI provided Forman to the bishopric of Moray and then only a few months later in 1502, Bishop Forman concluded the Treaty of Perpetual Peace with England at Richmond Palace. The formal proceedings that finally concluded the marriage terms of King James and Margaret Tudor were conducted in Glasgow Cathedral on 10 December 1502 where Forman was a signatory. He was then appointed as a commissioner to oversee the exchange of the ratified marriage treaties at the courts of Henry and James. James designated Forman to conduct Margaret to Scotland but while in England, gave King Henry an undertaking that the King of Scots would not renew the league with France unless Henry was first consulted. The procession to Scotland took them to Fast Castle near Berwick where they stayed with Forman's sister Isabel and her husband Alexander Oliphant of Kellie. In 1509, Forman became commendator of Dryburgh Abbey and tried unsuccessfully to obtain the commendatorship of the wealthy abbey of Kelso in 1511. The lands and possessions of the parson of Boleskin, south of Inverness were given to Forman (as bishop of Moray) in 1511 and then in 1512 he became the Keeper of the castle of Darnaway, near Forres, Chamberlain of Moray and Custumar north of the River Spey.\n", "title": "Andrew Forman", "pid": "p_4661" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "Following the defeat of Lieutenant Colonel George A.

The United States Congress had angered many Indians by demanding that they cede the Black Hills to the government in exchange for these promised goods. The army had replaced civilian contractors in charge of the agencies, further convincing many war bands to stay away from them. General Nelson Miles led a mixed force of infantry, artillery and cavalry after Sitting Bull's band, and had effectively defeated them by December. Ranald S. Mackenzie had similarly defeated Dull Knife's Cheyennes, who trekked through snow and icy conditions to join the camp of Crazy Horse in the Tongue River Valley. Concerned with the approaching winter and the destitute condition of Dull Knife's band, Crazy Horse decided to negotiate peace with the army. However, when a group of United States Army Crow scouts murdered Crazy Horse's delegation, the war chief demanded revenge. He led a series of small raids in an effort to draw out Colonel Miles from Tongue River Cantonment. In December, 1876, Colonel Miles led most of nine Infantry companies out of the Cantonment in pursuit of Crazy Horse, marching south, up the Tongue River valley.

By the Treaty of Gulistan (12/24 October 1813) following the end of the 1804-1813 war, Persia was forced to cede its territories and regions comprising Darband, Quba, Shirwan and Baku, while giving up all claims on them as well. Nevertheless, Mustafa continued to have secret dealings with Persia. It was not until 1820 that his territory was occupied by Russian troops; the Khan fled to Persia and Shemakha was irrevocably incorporated in Russian territory. Iranian anger while being dissatisfied with losing swaths of its integral territories in the North and South Caucasus subsequently sparked the Russo-Persian War (1826-1828), which resulted in another Iranian loss, as well as the ceding of its last remaining territories in the Caucasus comprising what is now Armenia, and southern parts of the contemporary Republic of Azerbaijan. The Treaty of Turkmenchay of 1828 officially ratified the forced ceding of these Iranian territories to Imperial Russia, while it would also mark the official end of millennia long intertwined Iranian hegemony, rule, and influence over the Caucasus region, including Shirvan.\n", "title": "Shirvan", "pid": "p_4665" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "Taube was born in New York City", "indices": [ 0, 31 ], "passage": "main" }, { "text": "with an estimated 19,979,477 people in its 2018 Metropolitan Statistical Area and 22,679,948 residents in its Combined Statistical Area", "indices": [ 541, 676 ], "passage": "New York City" } ], "question_links": [ "New York City" ], "answer": { "answer_spans": [ { "start": 586, "text": "19,979,477", "passage": "new york city", "end": 596 } ], "type": "span" }, "question": "How many people live in the city that Taube was born?", "qid": "q_10666" }, { "context": [ { "text": "After attending Kent School, he enrolled at Princeton University, from which he graduated in 1961 with a B.A. in sociology.

He helped Robinhood to win three national titles in 1975, 1976 and 1979, and was the league top scorer for three consecutive seasons in 1976, 1977 and 1978. He also helped Robinhood to placement in the CONCACAF Champions' Cup finals, where they would finish as runners-up twice, conceding to C.D. \u00c1guila from El Salvador in 1976 and Mexican side Club Am\u00e9rica in 1977.

Between 1904 and 2004, Missouri was carried by the victor of each presidential election, with the exception of 1956. Though Bush won the presidency in the 2000 election through the Electoral College, he lost the national popular vote. The 2000 election was unique because this was the first time in over a century where the popular vote winner lost the general election. (In 1888, Missouri voted for Grover Cleveland, the incumbent Democrat, who lost to Republican candidate Benjamin Harrison). Thus, controversy exists as to whether or not Missouri accurately predicted victor in this election. In the subsequent election, Missouri voted for George W. Bush, who this time won both the popular vote and the Electoral College. Missouri has voted reliably Republican since 2000. The state voted for John McCain in 2008, and for Mitt Romney in 2012, both of whom lost the general election to Barack Obama. The controversy is further complicated by the 2016 presidential election, where Missouri voted for Donald Trump by a landslide, while Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by nearly three million votes, but like in 2000, Trump won the Electoral College and became 45th President of the United States.

As an aesthetic, it is marked by a non-narrative, non-teleological, and non-representational conception of a work in progress, and represents a new approach to the activity of listening to music by focusing on the internal processes of the music, which lack goals or motion toward those goals. Prominent features of the technique include consonant harmony, hypnotic rhythmic pulses or steady drones, stasis or gradual transformation, and often reiteration of musical phrases or smaller units such as figures, motifs, and cells. It may include features such as additive process and phase shifting. Phase-shifting leads to what has been termed phase music.

Clark began recruiting in New Zealand, and former New Zealand national players Ryan Nelsen and Simon Elliott played for him at Stanford.

However, Latham's speculation did not prove true, as only one MLS player made the New Zealand squad for the World Cup. New Zealand formerly competed against Australia for top honours in the OFC. However, after Australia left to join the AFC in 2006, New Zealand were left as the only seeded team in the OFC. New Zealand qualified for the 2010 FIFA World Cup though exited the competition after the first round despite being the only team not to lose a game during the tournament. The tournament also featured one of New Zealand's most notable results, a 1\u20131 draw with the then world champions Italy. New Zealand drew their other two pool games with Slovakia and Paraguay and ultimately finished above Italy, who placed last, in the group.

The swing was nicknamed because of the pendulum-like motion of his leg, which shifts his weight forward as he swings the bat, and goes against conventional hitting theory. In his second career game, he recorded his first ichi-gun (Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball League) hit in the Pacific League against Hawks pitcher Keiji Kimura. Even though he hit in 1993 a home run against Hideo Nomo, who later won an MLB National League Rookie of the Year Award while a Los Angeles Dodger, Ichiro was nevertheless sent back to the farm system on that very day. In 1994, he benefited from the arrival of a new manager, Akira \u014cgi, who played him every day in the second spot of the lineup.

His fate was debated by the Greeks, for if he were allowed to live, it was feared he would avenge his father and rebuild Troy. In the version given by the Little Iliad and repeated by Pausanias (x 25.4), he was killed by Neoptolemus (also called Pyrrhus), who threw the infant from the walls. Another version is given in Iliou persis, in which Odysseus kills Astyanax. It has also been depicted in some Greek vases that Neoptolemus kills Priam, who has taken refuge near a sacred altar, using Astyanax's dead body to club the old king to death, in front of horrified onlookers. In Ovid's Metamorphoses, the child is thrown from the walls by the Greek victors (13, 413ff). In Euripides's The Trojan Women (719 ff), the herald Talthybius reveals to Andromache that Odysseus has convinced the council to have the child thrown from the walls, and the child is in this way killed. In Seneca's version of The Trojan Women, the prophet Calchas declares that Astyanax must be thrown from the walls if the Greek fleet is to be allowed favorable winds (365\u201370), but once led to the tower, the child himself leaps off the walls (1100\u20133). For Hector's mother, Hecuba, Astyanax was the only hope and consolation, and his death's announcement was a terrible climax of the catastrophe. Other sources for the story of the Sack of Troy and Astyanax's death can be found in the Bibliotheca (Pseudo-Apollodorus), Hyginus (Fabula 109), Tryphiodorus (Sack of Troy 644\u20136).\n", "title": "Astyanax", "pid": "p_4730" }, { "questions": [ { "context": [ { "text": "He was first selected for the Olympic team by Wathik Naji in October, 2002.
