In 1767, the Chatham Ministry appointed George Townshend, 4th Viscount Townshend as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland and instructed him to secure the support of the Irish parliament for an Augmentation Bill to effect this increase. The British considered several possible concessions to win over the Patriot Party, and at his speech from the throne, Townshend promised judicial tenure quamdiu se bene gesserint (on the model of the Act of Settlement 1701) and hinted at a Septennial Act. Lucas again introduced heads of a Septennial Bill on 20 October 1767; Barry Maxwell introduced heads of a judicial tenure bill the same day. In November, the appointment of James Hewitt, 1st Baron Lifford as Lord Chancellor of Ireland alienated the Undertakers who had hoped for the post. In addition, the British Privy Council added a wrecking clause to the judicial tenure bill, which caused the Irish parliament to reject the bill once returned to Dublin. The council also made three amendments to Lucas' bill: to the preamble, to extend the limit from seven to eight years (thus an Octennial Bill) and to bring forward the date of the next general election from 1774 to 1768. According to Francis Plowden, the Privy Council insisted on the modification to eight years as a wrecking amendment, expecting that the Irish parliament would reject the bill on principle once any amendment had been made to it, and was disappointed when its amended bill was passed. W. E. H. Lecky calls this \"without foundation\", stating the actual reasons for eight years were that the Irish Parliament only met every second year, and to reduce the chance of Irish and British general elections coinciding.\n", "title": "Octennial Act" }, { "pid": "p_4757", "questions": [ { "answer": { "type": "span", "answer_spans": [ { "start": 287, "end": 297, "text": "Blackjack ", "passage": "blackjack (american band)" }, { "start": 309, "end": 321, "text": "Worlds Apart", "passage": "blackjack (american band)" } ] }, "question": "What were the names of the albums produced by Blackjack?", "question_links": [ "Blackjack (American band)", "Peter Frampton" ], "qid": "q_10846", "context": [ { "passage": "main", "text": "Blackjack recorded two albums and toured with Peter Frampton", "indices": [ 707, 767 ] }, { "passage": "Blackjack (American band)", "text": "The band was short-lived, released two albums, the self-titled Blackjack in 1979 and Worlds Apart in 1980", "indices": [ 185, 290 ] } ] }, { "answer": { "type": "value", "answer_value": "4", "answer_unit": "years" }, "question": "How many years after Gennaro moved to California was his first single recorded?", "question_links": [ "Into the Night (Benny Mardones song)" ], "qid": "q_10847", "context": [ { "passage": "main", "text": "In 1976 Gennaro moved to California", "indices": [ 561, 596 ] }, { "passage": "main", "text": "led Gennaro to record his first hit single with the New York-based singer Benny Mardones, \"Into the Night\"", "indices": [ 785, 891 ] }, { "passage": "Into the Night (Benny Mardones song)", "text": "\"Into the Night\" is a 1980 song ", "indices": [ 0, 32 ] } ] }, { "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "Which artist did Gennaro tour with most recently?", "question_links": [ "Bo Diddley", "Joan Jett", "Johnny Winter" ], "qid": "q_10848", "context": [ { "passage": "main", "text": "From here Gennaro went on to record and tour with Bo Diddley, Joan Jett and Johnny Winter.", "indices": [ 1303, 1393 ] } ] }, { "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "Which of the tours that Gennaro were on was the shortest in number of days?", "question_links": [ "Fun Tour", "Bo Diddley", "Joan Jett", "Johnny Winter" ], "qid": "q_10849", "context": [ { "passage": "main", "text": "Lauper hired Gennaro for the Fun Tour", "indices": [ 1127, 1164 ] }, { "passage": "main", "text": "From here Gennaro went on to record and tour with Bo Diddley, Joan Jett and Johnny Winter.", "indices": [ 1303, 1393 ] } ] }, { "answer": { "type": "value", "answer_value": "7", "answer_unit": "years" }, "question": "How many years after moving to California did Gennaro get hired to perform in the Fun Tour with Cyndi Lauper?", "question_links": [ "Fun Tour" ], "qid": "q_10850", "context": [ { "passage": "main", "text": "In 1976 Gennaro moved to California", "indices": [ 561, 596 ] }, { "passage": "main", "text": "Lauper hired Gennaro for the Fun Tour", "indices": [ 1127, 1164 ] }, { "passage": "Fun Tour", "text": "The tour kicked off in Poughkeepsie, New York on November 22, 1983 and ended in St. Paul, Minnesota on December 9, 1984.", "indices": [ 221, 341 ] } ] } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 24, 36 ], "target": "Little Italy, Manhattan" }, { "indices": [ 88, 101 ], "target": "Staten Island" }, { "indices": [ 103, 111 ], "target": "New York (state)" }, { "indices": [ 549, 559 ], "target": "Cover band" }, { "indices": [ 621, 630 ], "target": "Blackjack (American band)" }, { "indices": [ 642, 656 ], "target": "Michael Bolton" }, { "indices": [ 668, 680 ], "target": "Bruce Kulick" }, { "indices": [ 693, 705 ], "target": "Jimmy Haslip" }, { "indices": [ 707, 716 ], "target": "Blackjack (American band)" }, { "indices": [ 753, 767 ], "target": "Peter Frampton" }, { "indices": [ 859, 873 ], "target": "Benny Mardones" }, { "indices": [ 875, 891 ], "target": "Into the Night (Benny Mardones song)" }, { "indices": [ 899, 920 ], "target": "Never Run, Never Hide" }, { "indices": [ 1049, 1061 ], "target": "Cyndi Lauper" }, { "indices": [ 1081, 1097 ], "target": "She's So Unusual" }, { "indices": [ 1156, 1164 ], "target": "Fun Tour" }, { "indices": [ 1353, 1363 ], "target": "Bo Diddley" }, { "indices": [ 1365, 1374 ], "target": "Joan Jett" }, { "indices": [ 1379, 1392 ], "target": "Johnny Winter" } ], "text": "Born \"Santo Gennaro\" in Little Italy, (Manhattan's Lower East Side), Gennaro grew up on Staten Island, New York.

Rob toured with R&B performer Freddie Jackson in the late 1980s before joining The Zen Tricksters. Rob spent eleven years touring and recording with The Tricksters, turning out two studio albums and playing live shows across the US and Canada. Their second album, A Love Surreal, brought the band to the attention of Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh, who summoned Rob and Trickster guitarist Jeff Mattson to play a series of shows in San Francisco and then on to tour the country double billing with Bob Dylan. That band included drummer John Molo and Allman Brothers Band guitarists Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes. The following year Barraco became a member of the Phil Lesh Quintet, including Lesh, Barraco, Molo, Haynes, and guitarist Jimmy Herring. Known by fans as \"The Q\", the Quintet went on to tour the United States for three years and put out one studio album, There and Back Again. In 2002, Barraco joined with the original members of the Grateful Dead for two shows at the Alpine Valley Music Theater, and then toured with them as The Other Ones in 2002 and 2003. In 2004, he joined Chris Robinson's New Earth Mud. In 2005, Barraco toured with Dark Star Orchestra after the death of keyboardist Scott Larned and continues to play with them at the present time, although he also played sporadically with Phil Lesh and Friends in 2005 and continuously through 2006.

Small villages and farms supplied the burgeoning city of New York, across the river, notably with oysters from the vast beds in the Upper New York Bay, and fresh produce, sold at Weehawken Street, in Manhattan. During the American Revolutionary War the area was under British control which included garrisons at Bulls Ferry and the fort at Bergen Neck. Colonialist troops used the heights to observe enemy movements. The Battle of Paulus Hook, a surprise raid on a British fortification in 1779, was seen as a victory and morale booster for revolutionary forces. Many downtown Jersey City streets bear the name of military figures Mercer, Greene, Wayne, and Varick among them. Weehawken became notorious for duels, including the nation's most famous between Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr in 1804. Border conflicts for control of the waterfront with New York (which claimed jurisdiction to the high water line and the granting of ferry concessions) restricted development though some urbanization took place in at Paulus Hook and Hoboken, which became a vacation spot for well-off New Yorkers. The Morris Canal, early steam railroads, and the development of the harbor stimulated further growth.

In the early-1990s, he produced a few songs for R&B acts such as Jodeci and Sista. In 1996, he made his mainstream breakthrough by producing the majority of both Aaliyah's second album One in a Million and Ginuwine's debut album Ginuwine...the Bachelor. This included the major hit singles \"If Your Girl Only Knew\" by Aaliyah and \"Pony\" by Ginuwine. While Timbaland was initially producing for R&B artists, his trademark sound was very much rooted in hip-hop with its fast-paced nature and clear drum breaks. He was taking a hip-hop sound and applying it to R&B, and in this way his sound was instrumental in blurring the distinction between hip-hop and R&B production. In 1997, he fully produced Supa Dupa Fly, the debut album of Missy Elliott, who had been a childhood friend of Mosley. In this album Timbaland continued with his now trademark electronic production style, but since Missy frequently rapped the music was considered hip-hop. Also in 1997, he released his first album with his partner Magoo, Welcome to Our World, also a hip-hop album. In the late 1990s, his hip-hop production sound would become very influential and common as he produced for many high-profile hip-hop artists including Jay-Z, Nas, and The LOX. In 1999, he scored a major hit with Jay Z and rap group UGK with the hit \"Big Pimpin'\". He also fully produced Missy's second album in 1999, Da Real World. Still Timbaland in this period produced primarily for R&B artists. He continued to produce for Ginuwine and Aaliyah, as well as contributing significantly to albums by Xscape, Nicole, Playa, and Total. He remixed Usher's major hit \"You Make Me Wanna\". In the early 2000s Timbaland produced songs including Ludacris' \"Roll Out (My Business)\", Jay-Z's \"Hola' Hovito\", Petey Pablo's \"Raise Up\", and Beck's cover of David Bowie's \"Diamond Dogs\" during this period. He also contributed three songs, all eventually released as singles, to Aaliyah\u2019s self-titled third album, the exotic lead single \"We Need a Resolution\" (featuring himself rapping a verse), \"More than a Woman\", and the ballad \"I Care 4 U\".

On an exploratory mission, two astronauts discover an extraterrestrial container (referred to as a dumpster as a result of its smell) and breach the unit, inadvertently releasing the evil alien sorceress Rita Repulsa from 10,000 years of confinement. Upon her release, she and her army of evil space aliens set their sights on conquering the nearest planet\u2014Earth. The wise sage Zordon, who was responsible for capturing Rita (and also being enemies back on Zordon's homeworld, Eltar), later becomes aware of her release and orders his robotic assistant Alpha 5 to select five \"teenagers with attitude\" to defend the Earth from Rita's attacks. The five teens chosen are Jason Lee Scott, Kimberly Hart, Zack Taylor, Trini Kwan and Billy Cranston. Zordon gives them the ability to transform into a fighting force known as the Power Rangers; providing them with an arsenal of weapons at their disposal, as well as colossal assault machines called Zords which can combine into a giant humanoid machine known as the Megazord.\n\nThe series begins with five teenagers combating Rita and her seemingly endless array of monsters, while also dealing with typical teenage problems and clashing with local bullies Bulk and Skull. However, consecutive failures lead Rita to adopt a new method for conquering Earth and destroying the Power Rangers\u2014by attacking them with one of their own. Using her magic, Rita kidnaps and brainwashes a local teen whose fighting skills prove to equal that of Jason's in a martial-arts contest held in Angel Grove. The new teen, Tommy Oliver, passes Rita's tests, becoming the Green Ranger. Entrusted with Rita's Sword of Darkness, the source for the continuance of the evil spell he has fallen victim to, Tommy comes dangerously close to defeating the Power Rangers, especially when Rita causes a solar eclipse that drains the Megazord's power. However, the Green Ranger is ultimately defeated, and the Sword of Darkness is destroyed by Jason. Now free from Rita's spell, Tommy chooses to use his Green Ranger powers to assist the other Rangers in defeating the evil that gave them to him in the first place. His Zord, the Dragonzord, is reconfigured to enable it to help form more powerful Zord combinations alongside the other Dinozords.\n\nAs time goes on, Rita focuses on eliminating Tommy in order to regain the powers that she believes belong to her. Using a special wax that was touched by Tommy when he was evil, Rita uses a magic Green Candle to slowly remove his powers, returning them to her. In the end, Tommy loses his powers, but he prevents Rita from reclaiming them by transferring them to Jason who, feeling guilt for failing to protect Tommy's powers, accepts them. However, Tommy later returns to the team when the other Rangers' Power Coins are handed over to Rita in exchange for their kidnapped parents. With Zordon's help, Tommy regains his powers and successfully retrieves the other Rangers' Power Coins. However, Tommy's regained powers are only temporary and must be frequently re-charged by Zordon, who warns that the Green Ranger's powers will ultimately fail. Despite this, Tommy remains determined to continue assisting the other Rangers as long as possible.\n\nSeason 2 (1994\u20131995).Lord Zedd, Rita's superior, arrives at Rita's Moon Palace, where he takes her place and throws her into a space dumpster again. He then begins his own campaign to conquer Earth. In order for the Power Rangers to compete with Zedd's monsters, which are superior to the ones Finster made for Rita, Zordon and Alpha upgrade the Dinozords into the more powerful Thunderzords (which combine into the Thunder Megazord). However, Tommy is forced to retain use of the Dragonzord, due to his powers being too weak to support a new Zord.\n\nAfter several defeats, Zedd's attack on the Rangers progressively becomes more violent. He focuses his attention on eliminating Tommy, whom he sees as Rita's biggest mistake in giving him the Dragon Coin. The Green Ranger's powers were rapidly deteriorating, but Zedd's efforts had enhanced the process. He eventually does so with a special Green Crystal, using it to take away the Green Ranger's powers. The crystal also powers up Zedd's Dark Rangers, but when Tommy smashes it, the Dark Rangers powers are transferred back to the regular Rangers. Nevertheless, Zedd finally succeeds in taking the Green Ranger's powers (which Rita later uses to empower Tommy's clone to battle against the Rangers before reclaiming it once more). Following the loss of the Green Ranger's powers, Zordon and Alpha create, in secret, a new White Ranger to aid the other Rangers in battle. The White Ranger is revealed to be Tommy, who in addition receives a new Zord, the Tigerzord, and also becomes the new leader of the Power Rangers (replacing Jason).\n\nDuring the Team Ninja Trials in Angel Grove, the Rangers become friends with three teenagers from Stone Canyon: Rocky DeSantos, Adam Park and Aisha Campbell. During an ensuing battle with Zedd and a magical serpent, Rocky, Adam and Aisha discover the Rangers' identities and, having been entrusted with their secret by Zordon himself, the three newcomers become allies of the Rangers.\n\nLater on, Jason, Zack and Trini are selected to represent Angel Grove at the World Peace Conference in Geneva, Switzerland, and the Rangers are faced with the task of finding replacements. In order to transfer the powers of the Red, Black and Yellow Rangers, they must find the Sword of Light, which is located on the Deserted Planet. Zedd pursues them across the galaxy in Serpentera, his massive personal Zord, and destroys most of the Deserted Planet. Serpentera runs out of power before being able to finish the Rangers, and they return to Earth safely with the Sword of Light. Zordon then chooses Rocky, Adam and Aisha to replace Jason, Zack and Trini as the Red, Black and Yellow Rangers, respectively.\n\nSometime before the power transfer, Rita had returned to Earth when Tommy made his debut as the White Ranger, and fell into the hands of Bulk and Skull, but the Rangers sent her back into space. She later returns to the Moon while the Rangers are in Australia, and with the help of Finster, she gets a special \"makeover\" to gain a younger and \"prettier\" face. She then uses a love potion on Zedd, who is in a deep sleep during his centennial re-evilizer, and he falls in love with her when he wakes up. They get married and thus join forces to make an even more terrible threat for the Rangers, but not even this can prepare them for what is to come.\n\nSeason 3 (1995\u20131996).Rito Revolto, Rita's skeletal brother, comes to Earth and, with the help of a group of monsters, destroys the Rangers' Thunderzords and the Tigerzord. As a result, the Dinozords are also destroyed and the Power Coins are damaged beyond repair. Undaunted, the Power Rangers seek the aid of Ninjor, alleged creator of the Power Coins, who gives them new Ninja Coins, providing them with the even more powerful Ninjazords (which combine into the Ninja Megazord) and the Falconzord.\n\nAn Australian girl named Kat Hillard moves to Angel Grove. She befriends Kimberly, and displays an intense affection for Tommy. Later it is found that Rita had captured Kat and put her under a powerful spell, giving her the ability to transform into a normal cat as well as a cat-like monster. Under this spell, she steals Kimberly's Ninja Coin, vastly weakening and nearly killing the Pink Ranger, whose life force, like that of the other Ninja Rangers, is connected to her Ninja Coin. It is during this time that the Rangers acquire their most powerful Zords ever: the Shogunzords (which combine into the Shogun Megazord). Eventually, Kat overcomes Rita's evil spell and returns Kimberly's Ninja Coin to her. A short time thereafter, Kimberly gets a chance to pursue her personal athletic dreams. With Zordon's blessing, she leaves to train for the Pan Global Games, choosing Kat to replace her as the Pink Ranger. Though her initial fear and hesitation keeps her from contributing fully to the fight against evil, Kat eventually becomes both comfortable and capable of fulfilling her duty as a Ranger.\n\nAfter several more battles, Zedd and Rita are joined by Rita's father, Master Vile. Following his failed attempts to defeat the Rangers, he reverses time, turning the Rangers into powerless children. These events culminate in the mini-series Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers and lead to the next incarnation of the franchise, entitled Power Rangers Zeo.\n\n", "indices": [ 2143, 10739 ] } ] } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 25, 38 ], "target": "Power Rangers" }, { "indices": [ 203, 223 ], "target": "Walter Emanuel Jones" }, { "indices": [ 248, 276 ], "target": "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" }, { "indices": [ 689, 706 ], "target": "Power Rangers Zeo" }, { "indices": [ 797, 816 ], "target": "Power Rangers Turbo" }, { "indices": [ 1214, 1231 ], "target": "Jason David Frank" }, { "indices": [ 1244, 1256 ], "target": "Tommy Oliver" }, { "indices": [ 1259, 1270 ], "target": "Jason Narvy" }, { "indices": [ 1283, 1288 ], "target": "Bulk and Skull" }, { "indices": [ 1294, 1307 ], "target": "Nakia Burrise" }, { "indices": [ 1320, 1331 ], "target": "Power Rangers" }, { "indices": [ 1375, 1390 ], "target": "Koichi Sakamoto" }, { "indices": [ 1425, 1458 ], "target": "Power Rangers Operation Overdrive" } ], "text": "Bosch auditioned for the Power Rangers show in Dallas after being informed of the audition by his martial arts instructor. In 1994, he landed the role of Adam Park, the new Black Power Ranger, replacing Walter Emanuel Jones in the second season of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Bosch said that when he got the part, he changed his middle name to Yong, which was part of his mother's given name, at the request of Saban who thought his credited name needed to be more Asian. For the feature film , he did all of his stunts after his stuntman had broken his leg. He also noted that among all the different animal characters the Rangers got to be associated, his was associated to a frog. In Power Rangers Zeo, Bosch's character became a Green Ranger. His final regular stint in the franchise was in Power Rangers Turbo, where his character passes his Green Turbo Ranger powers to a new member. He played Park in the second feature film . In looking back at his acting for the show, Bosch said that \"Power Rangers was a lot of fun but it was a kid's show and very cheesy because of it, which made getting work after that really hard. Plus, I didn't know squat about acting then.\" His best friends on the set included Jason David Frank (who played Tommy Oliver), Jason Narvy (who played Skull) and Nakia Burrise (who played Tanya Sloan). At the request of Power Rangers director Koichi Sakamoto, he had a guest appearance in the Power Rangers Operation Overdrive episode \"Once A Ranger\" in 2007 for the franchise's 15th anniversary, where he mentioned he got to go to New Zealand. He and Narvy also starred in the film Wicked Game, also known as Extreme Heist, which was directed by Sakamoto and features several other Power Rangers alumni.\n", "title": "Johnny Yong Bosch" }, { "pid": "p_4784", "questions": [ { "answer": { "type": "span", "answer_spans": [ { "start": 242, "end": 252, "text": " 1,425,976", "passage": "san diego" } ] }, "question": "How many people live in the city that hosts KOGO?", "question_links": [ "San Diego" ], "qid": "q_10967", "context": [ { "passage": "main", "text": "KOGO (600 kHz, Newsradio 600 KOGO) is a commercial AM talk radio station in San Diego, California.", "indices": [ 0, 98 ] }, { "passage": "San Diego", "text": "With an estimated population of 1,425,976", "indices": [ 188, 229 ] } ] }, { "answer": { "type": "value", "answer_value": "478", "answer_unit": "years" }, "question": "How old is the city that hosts KOGO?", "question_links": [ "San Diego" ], "qid": "q_10968", "context": [ { "passage": "main", "text": "KOGO (600 kHz, Newsradio 600 KOGO) is a commercial AM talk radio station in San Diego, California.", "indices": [ 0, 98 ] }, { "passage": "San Diego", "text": "Upon landing in San Diego Bay in 1542, Juan Rodr\u00edguez Cabrillo claimed the area for Spain", "indices": [ 953, 1042 ] } ] }, { "answer": { "type": "span", "answer_spans": [ { "start": 838, "end": 843, "text": " KLNV", "passage": "KOGO (AM)" } ] }, "question": "Which is the oldest station that has an antenna at the top of KOGO?", "question_links": [ "KWFN", "KLNV" ], "qid": "q_10969", "context": [ { "passage": "main", "text": "The KWFN antenna is at the top of one tower and the KLNV antenna is at the top of the other.", "indices": [ 787, 879 ] }, { "passage": "KWFN", "text": "97.3 signed on as KSEA in 1964.

On its southern edge, along the Medina and Nueces Rivers, Spanish Texas was bordered by the province of Coahuila. On the east, Texas bordered Louisiana. Following the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, the United States also claimed the land west of the Sabine River, all the way to the Rio Grande. From 1812 to 1813 anti-Spanish republicans and U.S. filibusters rebelled against the Spanish Empire in what is known today as the Guti\u00e9rrez\u2013Magee Expedition during the Mexican War of Independence. They won battles in the beginning and captured many Texas cities from the Spanish that led to a declaration of independence of the state of Texas as part of the Mexican Republic on April 17, 1813. The new Texas government and army met their doom in the Battle of Medina in August 1813, 20 miles south of San Antonio, where 1,300 of the 1,400 rebel army were killed in battle or executed shortly afterwards by royalist soldiers. It was the deadliest single battle in Texas history. 300 republican government officials in San Antonio were captured and executed by the Spanish royalists shortly after the battle. What is significant is a Spanish royalist lieutenant named Antonio L\u00f3pez de Santa Anna fought in this battle and followed his superiors' orders to take no prisoners. Another interesting note is two founding fathers of the Republic of Texas and future signers of the Texas Declaration of Independence in 1836, Jos\u00e9 Antonio Navarro and Jos\u00e9 Francisco Ruiz, took part in the Guti\u00e9rrez\u2013Magee Expedition. Although the United States officially renounced that claim as part of the Transcontinental Treaty with Spain in 1819, many Americans continued to believe that Texas should belong to their nation, and over the next decade the United States made several offers to purchase the region.\n", "title": "Texas Revolution" }, { "pid": "p_4788", "questions": [ { "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "Did exciter's second album outsell their third album?", "question_links": [ "Violence & Force", "Long Live the Loud" ], "qid": "q_10990", "context": [ { "passage": "main", "text": "they released their second studio album, Violence & Force", "indices": [ 96, 153 ] }, { "passage": "main", "text": "Exciter switched to a new label, Music for Nations, and traveled to London to record their third album, Long Live the Loud.", "indices": [ 312, 435 ] } ] }, { "answer": { "type": "binary", "answer_value": "no" }, "question": "Was the record label that Exciter signed with based in California?", "question_links": [ "Megaforce Records" ], "qid": "q_10991", "context": [ { "passage": "main", "text": "Later that year, Exciter signed a record deal with Jon Zazula's Megaforce Records", "indices": [ 0, 81 ] }, { "passage": "Megaforce Records", "text": "Megaforce Records is an American independent record label founded in 1982 by Jon Zazula and his wife Marsha Zazula to publish the first works of Metallica.

Cantillo was only 17 years old, but quickly established himself as among the most talented players in the league when he won MVP honors as a rookie. The Comets also won the league championship that season. Cantillo earned MVP honors in 1974, and in 1975 was a first team All Star for the fourth consecutive year. In February 1975 the Comets loaned him to the Tampa Bay Rowdies of the North American Soccer League for the upcoming NASL indoor tournament. Castillo went on to win the Regional MVP award, before getting injured early in the championship final. He scored five goals in four games for the 1975 indoor Rowdies. At the end of the 1975 ASL season, the Comets traded Cantillo to New York Inter-Giuliana SC, of the semi-pro German-American Soccer League, which played in the winter months. They also loaned him to Tampa Bay for the 1976 NASL season. He played a single season, twenty-one games total, with the Rowdies before returning to the ASL, this time signing with the New Jersey Americans. Cantillo was part of the ASL's most exciting team as the Americans played a free flowing attacking game which took them to the 1977 championship. Cantillo was again the league MVP, his third in five years in the ASL, and a first team All Star. Cantillo jumped leagues again at the end of the 1977 season. He joined the New England Tea Men of the NASL. He would remain with this team in its various incarnations until 1985, except for 1983 when he played for Team America. The Tea Men spent the 1978-1980 seasons in New England before moving to Jacksonville, Florida at the end of the 1980 season. Cantillo moved with the team and played the 1981 and 1982 seasons with Jacksonville. In the fall of 1982, he signed with the New York Arrows of Major Indoor Soccer League. He spent one season with the Arrows. In 1983, he signed with Team America. That year, the U.S. Soccer Federation attempted to create a more successful U.S. national team by entering the team into the NASL as a franchise. However, the team stumbled to a 10-20 record and the bottom of the league standings and USSF pulled the national team from the NASL at the end of the season.

He accepted the invitation and announced that he would at the same time hold a council. This irritated King Henry I of France, since it was generally held that no pope could hold a council in Kingdom of France without first consulting the king, which Leo IX had neglected to do. Consequently, in order to frustrate Leo IX, Henry I ordered all of his vassals to attend a feudal levy at the very time that the council was to be held. This placed the bishops and abbots in France in a very difficult position: they were ordered by Leo IX to attend the council; they were ordered by Henry I to attend the levy. Henry I hoped that his action would prevent the holding of the council, but Leo IX went on with his preparations without paying any attention to Henry I's act. The council was held at the appointed time, and in addition to churchmen from other lands about one-third of the bishops and abbots from the king's territory attended. Those who were absent with Henry I were excommunicated by Leo IX. Then Leo IX took up cases of simony and other ecclesiastical crimes which were reported. Several of those who were present at the council and held high offices in the church were accused of very serious offenses. Leo IX did not push any of them to an extreme, even when the guilt seemed definitely known, but adjourned all of the cases to his own court at Rome. Leo IX acted in the same way with regard to the accusations made against the great nobles. By this policy Leo IX hoped to have the authority of the papacy fully recognized. He was able to accomplish so much because of the weakness of the French monarchy. Leo IX was aided by Henry III, Holy Roman Emperor, in other attempts at reform, with whom he worked apparently in complete concord.

In 1975, Taito released Interceptor, an early first-person shooter and combat flight simulator that involved piloting a jet fighter, using an eight-way joystick to aim with a crosshair and shoot at enemy aircraft that move in formations of two and increase/decrease in size depending on their distance to the player. In 1976, Sega released Moto-Cross, an early black-and-white motorbike racing video game, based on the motocross competition, that was most notable for introducing an early three-dimensional third-person perspective. Later that year, Sega-Gremlin re-branded the game as Fonz, as a tie-in for the popular sitcom, Happy Days. Both versions of the game displayed a constantly changing forward-scrolling road and the player's bike in a third-person perspective where objects nearer to the player are larger than those nearer to the horizon, and the aim was to steer the vehicle across the road, racing against the clock, while avoiding any on-coming motorcycles or driving off the road. That same year also saw the release of two arcade games that extended the car driving subgenre into three dimensions with a first-person perspective: Sega's Road Race, which displayed a constantly changing forward-scrolling S-shaped road with two obstacle race cars moving along the road that the player must avoid crashing while racing against the clock, and Atari's Night Driver, which presented a series of posts by the edge of the road though there was no view of the road or the player's car.

Nickel sulfide concentrates can be treated by either roasting or flash smelting to produce matte from which nickel and cobalt can be recovered hydrometallurgically, or they may be treated by an ammonia solution pressure leach.

A feed of matte and sulfide concentrate containing approximately 0.4% cobalt and 30% sulfur is pressure leached at elevated temperature and pressure in an ammoniacal solution to produce a solution of nickel, copper and cobalt. By boiling away the ammonia; copper is precipitated as a sulfide and sent to a smelter. Hydrogen sulfide is added to the autoclave to remove nickel sulfide and copper sulfide which is fed back to the leaching process. Air is then passed through the solution in the autoclave for oxyhydrolysis. The solution is then reduced with hydrogen, again at high temperature and pressure, to precipitate nickel powder (>99%). The remaining solution (containing approximately equal proportions of nickel and cobalt sulfides), is then adjusted (to a lower temperature and pressure) to precipitate the mixed sulfides and the fluid is concentrated and crystallized into ammonium sulfate ((NH)SO). The mixed sulfides are pressure leached with air and sulfuric acid. Ammonia is then added to remove potassium and iron as jarosite (KFe (OH)(SO)). More ammonia and air is added for oxidation. The solution is removed from the autoclave and sulfuric acid added to remove nickel as nickel(II) sulfate-ammonium sulfate hexahydrate ((NiSO)\u2022((NH)SO)\u20226HO) which is then sent to have its nickel recovered.

Similarly, Bathory was initially inspired by crust punk as well as heavy metal. Crust punk was affected by a second wave of black metal in the 1990s, with some bands emphasizing these black metal elements. Iskra are probably the most obvious example of second wave black metal-influenced crust punk; Iskra coined their own phrase \"blackened crust\" to describe their new style. The Japanese group Gallhammer also fused crust punk with black metal while the English band Fukpig has been said to have elements of crust punk, black metal, and grindcore. Germany's Downfall of Gaia has been described as mixing crustgrind and black metal, along with elements of sludge metal, doom metal and post-metal. North Carolina's Young and in the Way have been playing blackened crust since their formation in 2009.

In \"War of Wrath\", Sauron advises his master Morgoth to flee the triumphant Valar in the War of Wrath. Morgoth sends him away and reflects on the events leading up to his defeat.\n2. In \"Into the Storm\", Morgoth and Ungoliant, fleeing from Valinor after having destroyed the Two Trees, struggle for the possession of the Silmarils.\n3. \"Lammoth\" is the Morgoth's scream of fear. It summons his Balrogs to his aid to fight off Ungoliant.\n4. In \"Nightfall\", F\u00ebanor and his seven sons mourn the destruction wrought by Morgoth, including the slaying of Finw\u00eb, F\u00ebanor's father, and swear to get revenge on him, in spite of the Valar's disapproval.\n5. \"The Minstrel\" is most likely about Maglor, son of F\u00ebanor, who composed the song \"The Fall of the Noldor\" based on the Kinslaying.\n6. In \"The Curse of F\u00ebanor\", F\u00ebanor expresses his wrath and anger and relates the misdeeds he commits, especially the Kinslaying, in pursuit of Morgoth.\n7. In \"Captured\", Morgoth addresses the captive Maedhros, F\u00ebanor's son, and chains him to the Thangorodrim mountains.\n8. In \"Blood Tears\", Maedhros relates the horrors of his captivity and his deliverance by Fingon.\n9. \"Mirror Mirror\" recounts how Turgon, in view of inevitable defeat, builds the city of Gondolin, aided by Ulmo (\"The Lord of Water\").\n10. In \"Face the Truth\", Fingolfin reflects about the destiny of the Noldor.\n11. In \"Noldor (Dead Winter Reigns)\", Fingolfin recounts his Noldor army's passage from the icy waste of Helcarax\u00eb and the prophecy by Mandos about the Noldor's fate; he reflects on his own and his people's guilt and foreshadows their ultimate defeat.\n12. \"The Battle of Sudden Flame\" refers to the battle in which Morgoth breaks the Siege of Angband using his Balrogs and dragons. The lyrics tell of how Barahir of the House of B\u00ebor, with great loss to his own company, saved the life of the Elven king Finrod Felagund, and in return Finrod swore an oath of friendship to Barahir and all of his kin.\n13. \"Time Stands Still (At the Iron Hill)\" is about Fingolfin riding to the gates of Angband to challenge Morgoth to a duel. Fingolfin wounds Morgoth seven times but is eventually killed.\n14. \"The Dark Elf\" refers to E\u00f6l who seduced Turgon's sister and fathered Maeglin, who would eventually betray Gondolin.\n15. \"Thorn\" is a song describing Maeglin's captivity in Angband and Morgoth trying to convert Maeglin to his side with threats and lies. The title of the song refers to the thorn bushes that hid the outer gates of Gondolin.\n16. \"The Eldar\" is Elven king Finrod Felagund's farewell to his people, dying from wounds sustained by saving his human friend Beren from a werewolf, thereby fulfilling his oath to the House of B\u00ebor.\n17. In \"Nom the Wise\", Beren mourns his friend Finrod. N\u00f3m means \"wise\" and was the name given to Finrod by Beren's forefather B\u00ebor.\n18. In \"When Sorrow Sang\", Beren sings about his love to the Elven princess L\u00fathien and his death at the teeth of Morgoth's wolf Carcharoth. Last part is about Mandos listening to Luthien's song about their grief experienced by being different in kin.\n19. \"Out on the Water\" refers to the last dwelling-place of Beren and L\u00fathien.\n20. In \"The Steadfast\", Morgoth curses his captive H\u00farin (known in Elvish as the Steadfast) who refused to reveal the secret of Gondolin.\n21. In \"A Dark Passage\", Morgoth ponders his triumph in the fifth battle. The song also relates the origins of the kindred of men and Morgoth's curse on H\u00farin to be witness to his children's tragic fate.\n22. \"Final Chapter (Thus ends ...)\" concludes the album, speaking of Morgoth's victory by the \"treachery of man\" but also of the hope for a new day.\n23. \"Harvest of Sorrow\" is a bonus track on the 2007 and 2018 remastered versions of the album. T\u00farin mourns the loss of his sister Ni\u00ebnor.\n24. \"Doom\" is a bonus track on the 2018 remastered version of the album. The track shows a more detailed account of H\u00farin being cursed by Morgoth. A slightly rewritten version appears on a limited edition of Beyond the Red Mirror as an epilogue chapter.\n25. \"The Tides of War\" is a bonus track on the 2018 remastered version of the album.

But finding funds and volunteers were not a problem. In 1879, Depelchin sailed for Cape Town in the Cape Colony with an international team of five other priests and five lay brothers from various Jesuit provinces. They then went to the Zambezia bush to establish a mission base in Bulawayo in Matabeleland (now western Zimbabwe). The journey took almost six months.

The goal was always the same \u2013 to ask the natives for the permission to open a mission station in their land. But, each time, they said no. Each time, Depelchin and his men were dogged by misfortunes, trails, diseases, accidents and even probably poison. His letters sent \"from the lands of the Matabeles\", \"in the huts of the Batongas\" and from \"the valley of the Barotses\", were published in Brussels as a two-volume set in 1882 and 1883.

Pope Pius IV gave Giambologna his first major commission, the colossal bronze Neptune and subsidiary figures for the Fountain of Neptune (the base designed by Tommaso Laureti, 1566) in Bologna. Giambologna spent his most productive years in Florence, where he had settled in 1553. In 1563 he was named a member (Accademico) of the prestigious Accademia delle Arti del Disegno, just founded by the Duke Cosimo I de' Medici, on 13 January 1563, under the influence of the painter-architect Giorgio Vasari, becoming also one of the Medicis' most important court sculptors.

Shortly after midnight, they started to lay their mines, but had only just begun when T30 struck a pair of mines about 00:25 which knocked out her power and gave her a list to port. About a minute after that T32 also struck a pair of mines that blew her bow off and disabled her engines. At 00:30 T30 exploded and broke in half, probably after hitting another mine. T22 struck a pair of mines while maneuvering to go alongside T32 and blew up at around 01:14.

Shirvanshahs had to provide the Georgian king with troops whenever the latter demanded it. In 1130 Georgia was attacked by the Sultan of Ahlat, Shah-Armen S\u00f6kmen II (1128-1183). This war was started by the passage of Ani into the hands of the Georgians; Demetrius I had to compromise and give up Ani to Fadl ibn Mahmud on terms of vassalage and inviolability of the Christian churches. In 1139, Demetrius raided the city of Ganja in Arran. He brought the iron gate of the defeated city to Georgia and donated it to Gelati Monastery at Kutaisi. Despite this brilliant victory, Demetrius could hold Ganja only for a few years. In reply to this, the sultan of Eldiguzids attacked Ganja several times, and in 1143 the town again jell to the sultan. According to Mkhitar Gosh, Demetrius ultimately gained possession of Ganja, but, when he gave his daughter in marriage to the sultan, he presented the latter with the town as dowry, and the sultain appointed his own emir to rule it.\n", "title": "Demetrius I of Georgia" }, { "pid": "p_4908", "questions": [ { "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "When was the first year the race was run?", "question_links": [ "2008 Giro d'Italia" ], "qid": "q_11368", "context": [ { "passage": "main", "text": "The 2008 Giro d'Italia", "indices": [ 0, 22 ] } ] }, { "answer": { "type": "span", "answer_spans": [ { "start": 65, "end": 80, "text": "13 January 1983", "passage": "giovanni visconti (cyclist)" } ] }, "question": "When was the person who led the race for many days born?", "question_links": [ "Giovanni Visconti (cyclist)" ], "qid": "q_11369", "context": [ { "passage": "main", "text": "led for many days by Giovanni Visconti", "indices": [ 27, 65 ] }, { "passage": "Giovanni Visconti (cyclist)", "text": "Giovanni Visconti (born 13 January 1983)", "indices": [ 0, 40 ] } ] }, { "answer": { "type": "span", "answer_spans": [ { "start": 1559, "end": 1592, "text": " Pinto in the Community of Madrid", "passage": "alberto contador" } ] }, "question": "Where was the eventual winner of the race born?", "question_links": [ "Alberto Contador" ], "qid": "q_11370", "context": [ { "passage": "main", "text": "Eventual winner Alberto Contador", "indices": [ 126, 158 ] }, { "passage": "Alberto Contador", "text": "Contador was born on 6 December 1982 in Pinto in the Community of Madrid", "indices": [ 1490, 1562 ] } ] }, { "answer": { "type": "value", "answer_value": "38", "answer_unit": "days younger" }, "question": "Was the eventual winner older or younger than the person who had led for many days?", "question_links": [ "Giovanni Visconti (cyclist)", "Alberto Contador" ], "qid": "q_11371", "context": [ { "passage": "main", "text": "led for many days by Giovanni Visconti", "indices": [ 27, 65 ] }, { "passage": "main", "text": "Eventual winner Alberto Contador", "indices": [ 126, 158 ] }, { "passage": "Giovanni Visconti (cyclist)", "text": "Giovanni Visconti (born 13 January 1983)", "indices": [ 0, 40 ] }, { "passage": "Alberto Contador", "text": "Alberto Contador Velasco (;

The two brothers then divided the state between themselves. Jai singh's capital was initially at Raoti. He built Sailana town as his new capital in 1736. He fought 22 battles in his lifetime, turning Sailana into an independent state. During Raja Mokham Singh's rule, Sailana suffered in war against the Scindias of Gwalior, most of the states eastern and southern lands were annexed. Raja Lakshman Singh of Sailana tried to push the Scindia's out of his kingdom, in 1818 he refused to pay chauth which was regularly levied, the Scindias retaliated by sending an army under Bujang Rao, the Gwalior army which had european arms and was French trained lost its advantage on the hills en route to Sailana and was defeated by Lakshman Singh, the captured soldiers were allowed to leave but all of their guns and artillery were taken. In 1819, Bapu Rao was appointed to punish the raja of Sailana and enforce tribute opon him. Bapu Rao had previously been sent by the Scindia's to defeat and exact tributes from the Maharaja of Jaipur and the Maharana of Udaipur. However on 5 January 1819, John Malcolm mediated between Gwalior and Sailana upon which Raja Lakshman Singh accepted British protection and agreed to pay a fixed tribute of \u00a34,200 to Gwalior (until 1860), in return for Scindia agreeing to refrain from any interference in Sailana. During British rule Sailana saw development under the capable rule of Raja Jaswant Singh and then under his son Raja Dilip Singh, many reforms were introduced over the coming years, with particular attention being paid to education and the provision of vernacular educational facilities. By 1947, education and medical aid were provided free of charge, the local municipality was placed on a democratic footing and the judiciary and executive made independent of each other. Although the economy was primarily agricultural, some limited industrialisation included oil mills, and iron and steel works.

There he devoted himself to the invention, patenting, design and building of a remarkable series of novel vessels including three vessels named Transit, a fly boat, two yachts the Unique and the Gower, the Landguard Fort Lifeboat, and a number of other inventions. He entered, but did not win, a competition for a novel form of lock for the Regents Canal. He suggested that, to protect coastal traffic, cruisers be stationed along the coast in communication with signal stations to provide a concerted defence system. He proposed a form of vertical-vaned windmill; an eye shade; various ship's logs and a \"double-barrelled\" capstan to do two jobs at once. He suggested a non-elastic substitute for imported hempen standing rigging to be made of wooden cylinders joined together by iron straps. He devised a method of keeping ships at proper distances by using the mast as a base line. He invented a mode of dropping a guess warp anchor with such accuracy that its end could be easily found and lifted. He devised a novel method of fidding a topgallant mast and several contrivances for the \"better nipping and stopping a cable\". He designed a long catamaran for forming a life raft and a form of floating sea anchor, or drogue anchor (he called it a \"propeller\") like an umbrella. He created a set of signals, that could be seen from all angles, using shapes instead of flags. He also suggested using a floating compass needle to find North. He experimented with various designs of paddle wheel on the River Lee Canal that anticipated the design of the wheels used by steam paddlers many years later. He invented and built the Landguard Fort Lifeboat, which carried up to 25 people and was virtually unsinkable. He proposed fitting canal barges with 'spud wheels' that could propel the vessel by catching on the canal bottom. He saw that a combination of paddle wheels and spud wheels could take vessels over mud flats at various conditions of the tide. Gower also constructed a twin hulled catamaran, just ten feet long, on which he mounted a barrel of water that drained to underwater by a curved pipe pointing aft. His twin floats achieved two miles per hour apparently without the need for power from sail or steam. He thus demonstrated water jet propulsion. He anticipated that a steam water pump, so contrived, could propel vessels without the need for paddles. He gives credit to Dr Franklin (probably Benjamin Franklin) and a Mr Rumsay of Philadelphia for this idea and hoped that his little experiment would encourage others to pursue the notion.\n", "title": "Richard Hall Gower" }, { "pid": "p_4926", "questions": [ { "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "How many women graduated from Columbia University the year Morton was made the first woman Attending Surgeon at the Vanderbilt Clinic?", "question_links": [ "Columbia University" ], "qid": "q_11426", "context": [ { "passage": "main", "text": "Morton was the first woman to become the Attending Surgeon at the Vanderbilt Clinic of Columbia University's Physicians and Surgeons in 1916", "indices": [ 263, 403 ] } ] } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 26, 41 ], "target": "World War I" }, { "indices": [ 63, 71 ], "target": "Labrador" }, { "indices": [ 155, 164 ], "target": "International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement" }, { "indices": [ 200, 216 ], "target": "Macedonian front" }, { "indices": [ 252, 261 ], "target": "Macedonia (region)" }, { "indices": [ 350, 369 ], "target": "Columbia University" }, { "indices": [ 451, 467 ], "target": "Mary M.

They would be heard jamming in a house on the corner of Bonaventure Avenue and Fleming Street in St. John's before relocating to Nova Scotia.

Tarlton returned a rejection letter but the members mistook it for an invitation. On April 1, 1970, April Wine went down the road to Quebec, the band brought their instruments and 100$ in cash. Despite the misunderstanding, Flood and Tarlton signed the band to their record label and set the band up in a chalet and allowed them to play at a local comedy club. They recorded and released their self-titled debut album April Wine in September 1971 which had a single named Fast Train which was a top 40 hit in Canada and peaked at #38 on the RPM Singles Chart . However, the album was a flop with low sales, the single established Miles Goodwyn as the main songwriter for the band and the success of the single led the band's label to ask for a second album amid the first of many lineup changes: Jim Henman left the band in the fall of 1971 and was replaced by Jim Clench.\n", "title": "April Wine" }, { "pid": "p_4932", "questions": [ { "answer": { "type": "span", "answer_spans": [ { "start": 26724, "end": 26734, "text": "5,281,579 ", "passage": "saint petersburg" } ] }, "question": "How large is the city where Mikhail was born?", "question_links": [ "Saint Petersburg" ], "qid": "q_11435", "context": [ { "passage": "main", "text": "Mikhail was born in", "indices": [ 0, 19 ] }, { "passage": "Saint Petersburg", "text": "Saint Petersburg is the second largest city in Russia.

The family was subsequently based in Neustadt an der Orla, where it took up instrument building. Eduard Steingraeber was born in 1823; he first apprenticed with his uncle, Gottlieb Steingraeber, in Neustadt an der Orla. During his years of travel, he worked in a number of places, including the workshop of the Viennese piano builder Nannette Streicher, daughter of the well-known Augsburg piano maker, Andreas Stein. While there, he was permitted to accompany Franz Liszt on his concert tours, where he looked after the pianos and grand pianos that Liszt \"demolished\" at his performances. In 1852, Eduard Steingraeber founded the Pianofortefabrik Steingraeber [Steingraeber Piano Factory] in Bayreuth. Steingraeber purchased the Liebhardt Palace on Friedrichstra\u00dfe in 1871 and made it the head office of the company. And it has borne the name of Steingraeber Haus ever since. The company rapidly became the largest piano factory in Bavaria. Steingraeber has also supplied pianos to the Wagner family and to the Bayreuther Festspiele since the festival began in 1876. In 1881, Richard Wagner commissioned the instrument known as the Parsifal bell, which is used in the temple scenes of Wagner's opera, Parsifal. During high volume production periods, Steingraeber's more than thirty employees, including twelve piano builders, specialise in the manufacture of high-quality pianos that are still predominantly handcrafted. The cases are constructed of solid wood and no particle board is ever used. Steingraeber & S\u00f6hne even treats the surfaces of the piano case with shellac and wax instead of polyester and synthetic resin varnishes. The company has sought technical solutions to simplify piano playing for wheelchair users and, above all, to provide them with a serviceable alternative to working the pedals with their feet. Steingraeber currently produces some forty uprights and seventy grand pianos per year. Since the company was founded, however, Steingraeber & S\u00f6hne has built over 40,000 grand and upright pianos.\n", "title": "Steingraeber & S\u00f6hne" }, { "pid": "p_4951", "questions": [ { "answer": { "type": "binary", "answer_value": "no" }, "question": "Was Edwin Harrison McHenry still alive when the North Coast Hiawatha was discontinued?", "question_links": [ "Edwin Harrison McHenry" ], "qid": "q_11485", "context": [ { "passage": "main", "text": "the North Coast Hiawatha, which was discontinued in 1979", "indices": [ 502, 558 ] }, { "passage": "Edwin Harrison McHenry", "text": "Edwin Harrison McHenry (January 25, 1859 \u2013 August 21, 1931)", "indices": [ 0, 59 ] }, { "passage": "main", "text": "the North Coast Hiawatha, which was discontinued in 1979", "indices": [ 502, 558 ] } ] } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 27, 49 ], "target": "Edwin Harrison McHenry" }, { "indices": [ 53, 67 ], "target": "Civil engineer" }, { "indices": [ 84, 108 ], "target": "Northern Pacific Railway" }, { "indices": [ 182, 196 ], "target": "Logan, Montana" }, { "indices": [ 252, 269 ], "target": "Garrison, Montana" }, { "indices": [ 456, 475 ], "target": "North Coast Limited" }, { "indices": [ 484, 490 ], "target": "Amtrak" }, { "indices": [ 506, 526 ], "target": "North Coast Hiawatha" }, { "indices": [ 605, 617 ], "target": "BNSF Railway" }, { "indices": [ 659, 665 ], "target": "Grade (slope)" }, { "indices": [ 740, 757 ], "target": "Montana Rail Link" }, { "indices": [ 814, 820 ], "target": "Helena, Montana" } ], "text": "The pass was discovered by Edwin Harrison McHenry, a civil engineer working for the Northern Pacific Railway, who was tasked with locating a route for the NP from the main line near Logan, Montana through to Butte.

After his stint as Clark on Rocky Jones Hudsons parts started to be more in the genres of Science fiction, Fantasy, and Monster movies, especially the latter with starring roles in such films as The She Creature, The Amazing Colossal Man and, perhaps most famously, as the husband in 1958's cult classic Attack of the 50 Foot Woman. In 1964 he was cast as the doomed first Captain of the Seaview, John Phillips, in the pilot episode of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. In 1965 he was back on Voyage as a different character in an episode infamous among fans of the series due to its heavy use of archive footage from the pilot episode (specifically a scene with Hudson and Richard Basehart leaving the Nelson Institute, being chased and attacked by a helicopter and which ended with the death of Hudson's character and the car going off a cliff aflame) giving him the dubious honour of being the only person \"killed\" on that show twice. In 1966 he was cast as a reporter in the second part of the first Television appearance of Mr. Freeze in a first-season episode of Batman titled \"Rats Like Cheese\".

He studied at the Paris Conservatoire under Marcel Dupr\u00e9, Maurice Durufl\u00e9 and Olivier Messiaen. In 1952, while still studying, Guillou played the premiere of his organ transcription of The Musical Offering by Johann Sebastian Bach at Erskine and American United Church in Montreal, Canada. In 1955, he accepted a position as professor of organ and composition at the Institute of Sacred Music in Lisbon. During this time, he wrote his first compositions (Fantaisie op. 1, Colloque no. 1, and parts of Colloque no. 2). Due to health reasons, Guillou underwent long term medical treatment in Berlin and relocated to this city in 1958. During the following five years, he composed numerous works and made his first recordings at Lutherkirche and St. Matthias church. During this time, he met composer Max Baumann, who wrote his first organ compositions (Invocation op. 67 no. 5, Trois pi\u00e8ces br\u00e8ves op. 67 no. 6, Psalmi op. 67 no. 2) for Guillou, who premiered these works in a concert on January 20, 1963, at St. Matthias church in Berlin.

A third teaming with Cronenberg in A Dangerous Method (2011) resulted in a nomination for the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor \u2013 Motion Picture. Other well-received films include Appaloosa (2008) and Far from Men (2014). Further Academy Award nominations came for his leading roles in Captain Fantastic (2016) and Green Book (2018).\n", "title": "Viggo Mortensen" }, { "pid": "p_5013", "questions": [ { "answer": { "type": "binary", "answer_value": "no" }, "question": "Was Burchard born in London?", "question_links": [ "Anson Wood Burchard" ], "qid": "q_11660", "context": [ { "passage": "main", "text": "Her third husband was Anson Wood Burchard, whom she married on December 4, 1912, in London.", "indices": [ 0, 91 ] }, { "passage": "Anson Wood Burchard", "text": "Anson Wood Burchard (April 21, 1865 \u2013 January 22, 1927) was an American businessman", "indices": [ 0, 83 ] } ] }, { "answer": { "type": "binary", "answer_value": "yes" }, "question": "Was London the capital of a country in 1912?", "question_links": [ "London" ], "qid": "q_11661", "context": [ { "passage": "main", "text": "Her third husband was Anson Wood Burchard, whom she married on December 4, 1912, in London.", "indices": [ 0, 91 ] }, { "passage": "London", "text": "London is the capital and largest city of England and the United Kingdom.", "indices": [ 0, 73 ] } ] }, { "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "How long did Davison own 690 Park Avenue?", "question_links": [ "Henry Pomeroy Davison", "Henry P.

Rusk initiated the expedition when he wrote to Charles H. Sholes of the Mazamas and asked Sholes to join him in an expedition to the mountain. Sholes was unable to join him, but shouldered the responsibility of organizing the expedition and raising funds for it. Eventually, there were three others who accompanied Rusk on the expedition, A. L. Cool, Joseph Ridley, and Frank H. Rojec. Cool was a good friend of Rusk's from the area around Lake Chelan who was well known as an expert mountaineer and guide. Ridley was a forest ranger on the Mount Baker National Forest who had done much exploring and mapping in the area around Mount Baker. Rojec, the photographer for the expedition, worked for the Kiser Photography Company and was well known for his pictures of Western scenery. Their mission was to establish whether Dr. Frederick Cook had indeed made it to the summit, as well as to reach the summit themselves. From Seattle, they took the United States revenue cutter Tahoma to Cook Inlet. From there, they took the sternwheeler Alice up the Susitna River to the mouth of the Chulitna River and then hired a local to guide them up the Chulitna and then two miles up the Tokositna River where they established a base camp. From there they worked their way to the toe of the Ruth Glacier and then up the Ruth Glacier toward McKinley. It was terribly difficult work because for each mile they advanced, they were required to travel five miles back and forth to get all their equipment up the glacier. They also had underestimated the amount of food they needed for the expedition so Cool returned to the base camp to wait for the return of their guide with more supplies. Rusk, from information given to him by S. P. Beecher, a member of the Cook expedition, and after some exploration up a tributary glacier opposite Mount Church, quickly became convinced that Cook had not actually climbed McKinley, but instead climbed a much shorter peak about 20 miles from McKinley. Rusk named four peaks at the head of this tributary glacier: Mounts Sholes, Mazama, Glisan, and Lee. Sholes, Glisan, and Lee were named after prominent members of the Mazamas club. From there they proceeded up the Ruth Glacier passing through The Great Gorge and into the Ruth Amphitheater. At this point, Rusk no longer had any doubts that Cook had not summited McKinley. As he wrote in his article detailing the expedition, they \"realized that it would require perhaps weeks or months in which to explore a route to the summit, we realized how utterly impossible and absurd was the story of this man [Cook], who, carrying a pack, claims to have started from the mouth of the Tokositna on the eighth of September, and to have stood on the highest point of McKinley on the sixteenth of the same month. The man does not live who can perform such a feat!\" At this point, their food supplies were too low for them to continue further and they were forced to retreat back down the glacier. There was another expedition led by Professor Herschel Clifford Parker and Belmore Browne attempting to summit McKinley at the same time. They also failed to reach the summit due to similar circumstances and later reinforced Rusk's conclusion by finding the very rock that Cook took his famous picture on. The Mazamas expedition had other problems as well. Sometime while they were on the Ruth Glacier, one of the members attempted to kill Rusk by hitting him with a snowshoe, but could not bring himself to finish the job.\n", "title": "Claude Ewing Rusk" }, { "pid": "p_5022", "questions": [ { "answer": { "type": "span", "answer_spans": [ { "start": 224, "end": 232, "text": "New York", "passage": "united states military academy" } ] }, "question": "In what state did Amerine teach the Arabic Language?", "question_links": [ "United States Military Academy" ], "qid": "q_11685", "context": [ { "passage": "main", "text": "taught at West Point as a Social Sciences, and later, an Arabic Language teacher.", "indices": [ 1407, 1488 ] }, { "passage": "United States Military Academy", "text": "The United States Military Academy (USMA), also known as West Point, Army, Army West Point, The Academy, or simply The Point, is a four-year federal service academy in West Point, New York.", "indices": [ 0, 189 ] } ] } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 22, 32 ], "target": "United States Military Academy" }, { "indices": [ 182, 214 ], "target": "Operational Detachment Alpha 574" }, { "indices": [ 244, 268 ], "target": "5th Special Forces Group (United States)" }, { "indices": [ 305, 315 ], "target": "Kazakhstan" }, { "indices": [ 341, 361 ], "target": "September 11 attacks" }, { "indices": [ 387, 393 ], "target": "Afghanistan" }, { "indices": [ 425, 432 ], "target": "Taliban" }, { "indices": [ 441, 452 ], "target": "Afghanistan" }, { "indices": [ 496, 508 ], "target": "Hamid Karzai" }, { "indices": [ 527, 529 ], "target": "United States" }, { "indices": [ 569, 576 ], "target": "Urozgan Province" }, { "indices": [ 642, 678 ], "target": "Battle of Tarinkot" }, { "indices": [ 752, 767 ], "target": "Arghandab River" }, { "indices": [ 793, 805 ], "target": "Battle of Shawali Kowt" }, { "indices": [ 810, 826 ], "target": "Battle of Sayyd Alma Kalay" }, { "indices": [ 885, 904 ], "target": "Fall of Kandahar" }, { "indices": [ 909, 916 ], "target": "Islam" }, { "indices": [ 1017, 1037 ], "target": "2001 Sayyd Alma Kalay airstrike" }, { "indices": [ 1147, 1154 ], "target": "Germany" }, { "indices": [ 1325, 1376 ], "target": "Bush School of Government and Public Service" }, { "indices": [ 1417, 1427 ], "target": "United States Military Academy" }, { "indices": [ 1433, 1448 ], "target": "Social science" }, { "indices": [ 1464, 1479 ], "target": "Arabic" } ], "text": "After graduating from West Point, Amerine volunteered for Ranger duty and then for Special Forces Assessment and Selection (SFAS) and thereafter headed up Texas 12, the codename for Operational Detachment Alpha 574 of the Army's 3rd Battalion, 5th Special Forces Group.

Fritz Augustus Ramseyer, his wife, Rosa, brother, Johannes and Thomas Owusu, a native Akan Christian convert were captured by the Adubofour-led army of the Asante Kingdom. After half-a-decade of failed negotiations to secure their release, the British colonial authorities invaded Kumasi and freed the four political prisoners. Ramseyer desired to return to Kumasi as a Christian missionary. In 1896, the British colonial authorities invaded Kumasi again and detained the Asantehene, Otumfuo Agyemang Prempeh I, the Queen mother and royal courtiers, taking them as hostages to Elmina on the coast and then to the Seychelles. Shortly thereafter, Fritz Ramseyer returned to Kumasi as a missionary, twenty-two years after his release. Ramseyer purchased land in the suburb of Bantama near the current site of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital with the assistance of Thomas Owusu. After one year, Ramseyer and his team had established two mission stations and two schools. The British military conquest of Kumasi that preceded the founding of the mission station there made the project unpopular among the natives as they viewed the Christian missionaries as colonial agents and Christians as the \u201creligion of the victor\u201d. By 1900, by the end of the last Anglo-Ashanti war led by Yaa Asantewaa, the Queenmother of Ejisu, Ramseyer and the Basel Mission had set up 16 schools in Kumasi with a total enrollment of 311 pupils. Furthermore, 33 baptisms had been recorded and 160 converts lived in the Christian village. \u00a0 Shortly after the end of 1900 war, Fritz and Rosa Ramseyer returned to Europe to recover from post-war trauma. Ramseyer returned to the Gold Coast on 13 December 1901 and led efforts to reorganize the church even though this was opposed by the Basel Mission's Home Committee in Switzerland. The construction of the chapel and minister's conference was in 1907, with communal labour offered by the church's congregation composed of mostly African converts. After the chapel building was completed, it was named the Ebenezer Presbyterian Church. Upon the death of Ramseyer on 6 August 1914, the church leadership under the then moderator, the Rev. C. E. Martinson renamed the church, the Ramseyer Memorial Presbyterian Church in Fritz Ramseyer's memory.

Rabbi Nachman of Breslav poetically depicts the spiritual lifeforce in the grasses of the field as joining and helping in one's prayers.

To a sensitised soul, a tree can take on the extra dimension of a mystical beauty, that unites the Divine immanence of God with the transcendence. Divine transcendence and immanence are traditional notions in Jewish thought. The Panentheism of the Baal Shem Tov gave new emphasis on the theology and perception of the immanent Divine in all things. This carried earlier Kabbalistic notions, that saw Nature as a manifestation of God, to their theological conclusions. (The Kabbalists explain that one of the Hebrew names of God \"Elo-h-im\", representing Divine immanence, is numerically equivalent in Gematria with \"HaTeva\" meaning \"Nature\"). In the second section of the Tanya, Schneur Zalman of Liadi articulated the philosophical explanations of this. Similarly, the Baal Shem Tov gave a new interpretation of Divine Providence, that described how the movement of a leaf in the wind is significant in the Divine plan.

In 1809, Joseph Knight published a book titled On the cultivation of the plants belonging to the natural order of Proteeae, that contained an extensive revision of the Proteaceae attributed to Richard Anthony Salisbury. Salisbury assigned four species to his new genus Leucadendrum that are now considered synonymous: L. puberum, L. gnaphaliifolium, L. xeranthemifolium and L. calligerum. It is assumed that Salisbury had based his review on a draft he had been studying of a paper called On the natural order of plants called Proteaceae that Robert Brown was to publish in 1810. Brown however, called the genus Leucospermum and made the new combination Leucospermum puberum. Salisbury's names were ignored by botanists in favour of those that Brown had created, and this was formalised in 1900 when Leucospermum was given priority over Leucadendrum. Otto Kuntze assigned puberum in 1891 to Leucodendron (making a spelling error). In 1969, John Patrick Rourke made the new combination Leucospermum calligerum.

With a lineup of alto saxophone, tenor sax, piano, and string bass (Willie Dixon played the instrument on the first session), he signed with the Miracle label in the fall of 1946. One of the songs recorded at the first session was the ebullient boogie \"Rockin' the House,\" from which his band would take its name. Slim and the House Rockers recorded mainly for Miracle through 1949, with some commercial success.

Quintus Sertorius, a client of Gaius Marius, joined his patron's faction and took up the sword against the Sullan faction (mainly optimates).

In 82 BC, during the second war against Sulla, he left Italy for his assigned propraetorian province in Hispania. Unfortunately his faction lost the war in Italy right after his departure and in 81 BC Sulla sent Gaius Annius Luscus with several legions to take the Spanish provinces from Sertorius. After a brief resistance Sertorius and his men are expelled from Hispania. They end up in Mauretania in north-western Africa where they conquer the city of Tingis. Here the Lusitanians, a fierce Iberian tribe who were about to be invaded by a Sullan governor, approached him. They asked him to become their war leader in the fight against the Sullans. In 80 BC Sertorius landed at the little fishing town of Baelo near the Pillars of Hercules (Gibraltar) and returned to Hispania. Soon after his landing he fought and defeated the Sullan general Fufidius (the aforementioned Sullan governor) at the Baetis river. After this, he defeated several Sullan armies and drove his opponents from Spain. Threatened by Sertorius' success the Senate in Rome upgraded Hispania Ulterior to a proconsular province and sent the proconsul Quintus Caecilius Metellus Pius with a large army to fight him. Sertorius used guerrilla tactics so effectively he wore down Metellus to the point of exhaustion while his legate Lucius Hirtuleius defeated the governor of Hispania Citerior Marcus Domitius Calvinus. In 76 BC the government in Rome decided to send Pompey and an even larger army to help Metellus. In the same year Sertorius is joined by Marcus Perpenna, who brought him the remnants of the army of Marcus Aemilius Lepidus the rebel consul of 78 BC.

Upon the release of Piece by Piece, \"Nostalgic\" has received a very positive response from music critics, who lauded the track as one of the album's highlights and complimented the 1980s nostalgia evoked from the song.\n", "title": "Nostalgic (song)" }, { "pid": "p_5093", "questions": [ { "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "How much money did Greenlight Capital make the first year it existed?", "question_links": [ "Greenlight Capital" ], "qid": "q_11886", "context": [ { "passage": "main", "text": "Einhorn started Greenlight Capital in May 1996 with $900,000 in start up capital.", "indices": [ 0, 81 ] } ] }, { "answer": { "type": "binary", "answer_value": "no" }, "question": "Was Seeking Alpha an active website the year Einhorn started Greenlight Capital?", "question_links": [ "Seeking Alpha" ], "qid": "q_11887", "context": [ { "passage": "main", "text": "Einhorn started Greenlight Capital in May 1996", "indices": [ 0, 46 ] }, { "passage": "main", "text": "Einhorn started Greenlight Capital in May 1996 ", "indices": [ 0, 47 ] }, { "passage": "Seeking Alpha", "text": "Seeking Alpha was founded in 2004 ", "indices": [ 329, 363 ] } ] }, { "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "How much money did Allied Capital make the year Greenlight Capital was founded?", "question_links": [ "Allied Capital" ], "qid": "q_11888", "context": [ { "passage": "main", "text": "Einhorn started Greenlight Capital in May 1996", "indices": [ 0, 46 ] } ] }, { "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "Who else spoke at the Sohn Investment Research Conference the year Einhorn spoke there?", "question_links": [ "Sohn Conference Foundation" ], "qid": "q_11889", "context": [ { "passage": "main", "text": "In May 2002, he gave a speech at the Sohn Investment Research Conference", "indices": [ 82, 154 ] } ] }, { "answer": { "type": "none" }, "question": "How much is the company started by David worth today?", "question_links": [ "Greenlight Capital" ], "qid": "q_11890", "context": [ { "passage": "main", "text": "Einhorn started", "indices": [ 0, 15 ] } ] } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 16, 34 ], "target": "Greenlight Capital" }, { "indices": [ 119, 154 ], "target": "Sohn Conference Foundation" }, { "indices": [ 176, 184 ], "target": "Short (finance)" }, { "indices": [ 220, 234 ], "target": "Allied Capital" }, { "indices": [ 423, 452 ], "target": "Small Business Administration" }, { "indices": [ 500, 519 ], "target": "Market manipulation" }, { "indices": [ 631, 670 ], "target": "U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission" }, { "indices": [ 705, 720 ], "target": "Financial regulation" }, { "indices": [ 963, 976 ], "target": "Seeking Alpha" }, { "indices": [ 1339, 1352 ], "target": "Market trend" } ], "text": "Einhorn started Greenlight Capital in May 1996 with $900,000 in start up capital.

Einhorn alleged the company of defrauding the Small Business Administration while Allied said that Einhorn was engaging in market manipulation, and illegally accessed his phone records using pretexting. In June 2007, after a lengthy investigation by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), it found that Allied broke securities laws relating to the accounting and valuation of illiquid securities it held.

The category of group schemes is somewhat better behaved than that of group varieties, since all homomorphisms have kernels, and there is a well-behaved deformation theory.

She was asked to stay in Poland and join the Polish national athletic team, and she continued to run in American challenges and games.\n", "title": "Stanis\u0142awa Walasiewicz" }, { "pid": "p_5105", "questions": [ { "answer": { "type": "span", "answer_spans": [ { "start": 95, "end": 98, "text": "Ulm", "passage": "ulm school of design" } ] }, "question": "What city is Ulm School of design located?", "question_links": [ "Ulm School of Design" ], "qid": "q_11921", "context": [ { "passage": "main", "text": "As a student of the Ulm School of Design (Hochschule f\u00fcr Gestaltung hfg Ulm),", "indices": [ 0, 77 ] }, { "passage": "Ulm School of Design", "text": "The Ulm School of Design () was a college of design based in Ulm, Germany.

Other notable destinations include Sherman Dam (based on the Hoover Dam), a vast secret military base called Area 69 (based on Area 51), a large satellite dish (based on a dish from the Very Large Array), Vinewood (based on Hollywood) and the Vinewood sign (based on the Hollywood sign) which is located in Mulholland, and many other geographical features. The bridges in San Fierro are based on the Forth road and rail bridges which link Edinburgh, the home of Rockstar North, to Fife, although the road bridge is highly similar to the San Francisco\u2013Oakland Bay Bridge. San Andreas is 13.9 square miles (36 square kilometres), almost four times as large as Vice City and five times as large as the Grand Theft Auto III rendition of Liberty City. The three cities are linked by numerous highways, a train system, and air travel. While its predecessors' areas were limited to urban locations, San Andreas includes not only large cities and suburbs but also the rural areas between them.\n", "title": "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" }, { "pid": "p_5115", "questions": [ { "answer": { "type": "value", "answer_value": "1", "answer_unit": "year" }, "question": "How long had Modi been Prime Minister in 2015?", "question_links": [ "Prime Minister of India" ], "qid": "q_11959", "context": [ { "passage": "main", "text": "On 7 November 2015, Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi had announced development package", "indices": [ 195, 286 ] }, { "passage": "main", "text": "On 7 November 2015, Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi had announced development package for Jammu & Kashmir ", "indices": [ 195, 307 ] }, { "passage": "Narendra Modi", "text": "Narendra Damodardas Modi (; born 17 September 1950) is an Indian politician serving as the 14th and current Prime Minister of India since 2014.

With her fake ID, she rented a studio apartment in Pacific Beach and paid the rent with a $100 child support check from her father. She supplemented her income working at the first Hobie Surfboard Shop in San Diego County for Chuck Hasley, a former school teacher who would lead the Windansea team to victories in surf competitions. Lowe, who answered their fan mail, also participated in the surfer group, the Mac Meda Destruction Company founded by Jack Macpherson. She got pregnant just before the city discovered she was a 17-year-old truant. She moved to Palm Desert, where her mother and stepfather were publishing Desert Magazine. Her mother signed her marriage license and gave them a $100 gift. They divorced in 1966 after having two daughters, Sloane and Portia Perry. Lowe retained her married name, Ming Perry, and remained a part of the La Jolla scene while raising her daughters as a single parent. Tom Wolfe spent a summer in La Jolla and skimmed the surface of its \"underground society\" in his 1965 book, \" The Pump House Gang.\" Lowe was more integral to the real scene, helping her friend, Anchovie Barca, turn the Hippodrome ice skating rink into the Fillmore West of San Diego. She had a party with a blues band playing in her living room and police raided it for disturbing the peace. Twenty-one of Lowe's friends were arrested after police reported finding marijuana and peyote in the house of \"Mrs. Ming Perry, a 21-year-old divorcee and mother of two children\", according to the San Diego Union. Lowe recalled hearing herself called \"the Dragon Lady\" on radio. The counter-culture became prominent across the U.S. in 1966. Lowe was visiting a friend on the Sunset Strip when the riot broke out that inspired Stephen Stills to write \"For What It's Worth.\" She was invited in 1967 to the Monterey Pop Festival by Cass Elliott of the Mamas and the Papas, whose boyfriend was a surfer from Windansea. She was in the front row at the Altamont Festival when the West Coast scene came to a violent end during a set by the Rolling Stones. Other prominent figures from the 1960s, including comedian Jonathan Winters, English rocker Eric Burdon, Velvet Underground guitarist Sterling Morrison, Native American guitarist Jesse Ed Davis, blues legend Taj Mahal, and actors Brad Douriff from \"One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest\" and Teddie Markland from \"Wanda Nevada\", began showing up at her back door after Ming bought a house in Palm Desert in 1967. The now posh destination was still part of the desert frontier when Ming built her own studio there. When Palm Springs had its own rock festival in 1969, about 60 friends slept on the floor and roof of Ming's house.

Grant's Army of the Tennessee had early successes in Kentucky and western Tennessee in 1861 and 1862, capturing the important strategic locations of forts Henry and Donelson. The Army of the Tennessee and the Army of the Ohio defeated the Confederate Army of Mississippi, commanded by General Albert Sidney Johnston, at the Battle of Shiloh, driving it out of western Tennessee, subsequently marching into Mississippi and capturing Corinth. Grant's troops marched towards and captured Vicksburg in 1862\u201363. Meanwhile, the Army of the Ohio, later known as the Army of the Cumberland, experienced success, blocking a Confederate invasion of Kentucky and gaining control over large amounts of Tennessee through the Battle of Stones River and the 1863 Tullahoma Campaign while fighting against the Confederate Army of Tennessee, whose commander, Braxton Bragg, was often criticized for his alleged lack of military skill. The Union army was briefly checked in its invasion of Georgia at the Battle of Chickamauga, and besieged at Chattanooga. Grant, now commanding the newly created Military Division of the Mississippi, took command, and received reinforcements from the Army of the Tennessee, as well as from the eastern Army of the Potomac. The siege of Chattanooga was lifted in November 1863. Following his elevation by Abraham Lincoln to General-in-Chief, Grant put Maj. Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman in charge of the combined armies. Chattanooga served as a launching pad for Sherman to capture the Confederate rail-hub of Atlanta and to march to the Atlantic, inflicting a major logistical and psychological blow to the Confederacy. After reaching the ocean, Sherman invaded the Carolinas. Operations in the Western Theater concluded with the surrender of Southern forces to the Union armies in North Carolina and Florida in May 1865 following General Robert E.

These trees arrived in Washington, D.C., on January 6, 1910. However, the inspection team from the Department of Agriculture (led by Flora Wambaugh Patterson) found that the trees were infested with insects and nematodes, concluding that the trees had to be destroyed to protect local growers. President Taft gave the order to burn the trees on January 28. Secretary of State Philander C. Knox wrote a letter expressing the regret of all involved to the Japanese Ambassador. Takamine responded to the news with another donation for more trees, 3020 in all, of a lineage taken from a famous group of trees along the Arakawa River in Tokyo and grafted onto stock from Itami, Hyogo Prefecture. On February 14, 1912, 3020 cherry trees of twelve cultivars were shipped on board the Awa Maru and arrived in D.C. via rail car from Seattle on March 26.\n", "title": "National Cherry Blossom Festival" }, { "pid": "p_5183", "questions": [ { "answer": { "type": "value", "answer_value": "41", "answer_unit": "years" }, "question": "How old was Heard when he co-produced with Buck?", "question_links": [ "Mark Heard" ], "qid": "q_12138", "context": [ { "passage": "main", "text": "Buck also coproduced the 1992 Vigilantes of Love album, Killing Floor, with songwriter Mark Heard.", "indices": [ 0, 98 ] }, { "passage": "Mark Heard", "text": "John Mark Heard III (December 16, 1951 \u2013 August 16, 1992)", "indices": [ 0, 57 ] } ] }, { "answer": { "type": "binary", "answer_value": "yes" }, "question": "Has The Baseball Project released any albums together?", "question_links": [ "The Baseball Project" ], "qid": "q_12139", "context": [ { "passage": "main", "text": "In 2008, after McCaughey and Steve Wynn decided to work together, the duo asked Buck to be the bass player in their new band, The Baseball Project, along with drummer Linda Pitmon.", "indices": [ 857, 1037 ] }, { "passage": "The Baseball Project", "text": "- (Yep Roc, 2008)\n- (Yep Roc, 2011)\n- 3rd (Yep Roc, 2014)", "indices": [ 1298, 1357 ] } ] } ], "links": [ { "indices": [ 30, 48 ], "target": "Vigilantes of Love" }, { "indices": [ 87, 97 ], "target": "Mark Heard" }, { "indices": [ 139, 150 ], "target": "Mark Eitzel" }, { "indices": [ 164, 168 ], "target": "West (Mark Eitzel album)" }, { "indices": [ 209, 223 ], "target": "The Fleshtones" }, { "indices": [ 280, 295 ], "target": "Scott McCaughey" }, { "indices": [ 318, 329 ], "target": "The Minus 5" }, { "indices": [ 368, 375 ], "target": "Tuatara (band)" }, { "indices": [ 440, 452 ], "target": "Bill Rieflin" }, { "indices": [ 454, 466 ], "target": "King Crimson" }, { "indices": [ 477, 489 ], "target": "Robert Fripp" }, { "indices": [ 650, 663 ], "target": "Roky Erickson" }, { "indices": [ 706, 721 ], "target": "Robyn Hitchcock" }, { "indices": [ 841, 855 ], "target": "Ol\u00e9!
