Section: Production

Question: How much amount CBS Films given for getting domestic distribution right of Inside Llewyn Davis?

Set in 1961, "Inside Llewyn Davis" was inspired by the cultural disconnection within a New York–based music scene where the songs seemed to come from all parts of the United States except New York, but whose performers included Brooklyn-born Dave Van Ronk and Ramblin' Jack Elliott.
Well before writing the script, the Coens began with a single premise: suppose Van Ronk got beat up outside of Gerde's Folk City in the Village.
The filmmakers employed that idea in the opening scenes, then periodically returned to the project over the next couple of years to expand the story around a fictional character.
One source for the film was Van Ronk's posthumously published (2005) memoir, "The Mayor of MacDougal Street."
According to the book's co-author, Elijah Wald, the Coens mined the work "for local color and a few scenes."
The character is a composite of Van Ronk, Elliot, and other performers from the New York boroughs who performed in the Village at that time.
Joel Coen remarked that "the film doesn't really have a plot.
That concerned us at one point; that's why we threw the cat in.
"Shooting was complicated by an early New York spring, which interfered with the bleak winter atmosphere that prevails throughout the film, and by the difficulty of filming several cats, who, unlike dogs, ignore the desires of filmmakers.
On the advice of an animal trainer, the Coens put out a casting call for an orange tabby cat, which is sufficiently common that several cats would be available to play one part.
Individual cats were then selected for each scene based on what they were predisposed to do on their own.
Producer Scott Rudin, who worked with the Coens on "True Grit" and "No Country for Old Men", collaborated on the project.
StudioCanal helped finance it without an American distributor in place.
"After shooting in New York City and elsewhere last year...the brothers finished the movie at their own pace", wrote Michael Cieply in a January 2013 "The New York Times" interview with Joel Coen ahead of a private, pre-Grammys screening in Los Angeles.
"They could have rushed it into the Oscar season but didn’t."
On February 19, CBS Films announced it had picked up the U.S. domestic distribution rights for about $4 million.
StudioCanal has rights to international distribution and foreign sales.
Article: Bulgogi
Section: Preparation and serving

Question: When is the meat marinated when cooking bulgogi?

"Bulgogi" is made from thin slices of sirloin or other prime cuts of beef.
Before cooking, the meat is marinated to enhance its flavour and tenderness with a mixture of soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, garlic, pepper and other ingredients such as scallions, ginger, onions or mushrooms, especially white button mushrooms or "matsutake".
Sometimes, cellophane noodles are added to the dish, which varies by the region and specific recipe.
"Bulgogi" is traditionally grilled, but pan-cooking has become popular as well.
Whole cloves of garlic, sliced onions and chopped green peppers are often grilled or fried with the meat.
This dish is sometimes served with a side of lettuce or other leafy vegetable, which is used to wrap a slice of cooked meat, often along with a dab of "ssamjang", or other side dishes, and then eaten together.
Article: Vegetable
Section: Nutrition

Question: What foods does a vegan refuse to eat?

Vegetables are eaten in a variety of ways, as part of main meals and as snacks.
The nutritional content of vegetables varies considerably, though generally they contain little protein or fat, and varying proportions of vitamins such as Vitamin A, Vitamin K and Vitamin B6, provitamins, dietary minerals and carbohydrates.
Vegetables contain a great variety of other phytochemicals, some of which have been claimed to have antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral and anticarcinogenic properties.
Some vegetables also contain fiber, important for gastrointestinal function.
Vegetables contain important nutrients necessary for healthy hair and skin as well.
A person who refrains from dairy and meat products, and eats only plants (including vegetables) is known as a vegan.
However, vegetables often also contain toxins and antinutrients such as α-solanine, α-chaconine, enzyme inhibitors (of cholinesterase, protease, amylase, etc.
), cyanide and cyanide precursors, oxalic acid, and more.
Depending on the concentration, such compounds may reduce the edibility, nutritional value, and health benefits of dietary vegetables.
Cooking and/or other processing may be necessary to eliminate or reduce them.
Diets containing recommended amounts of fruits and vegetables may help lower the risk of heart diseases and type 2 diabetes.
These diets may also protect against some cancers and decrease bone loss.
The potassium provided by both fruits and vegetables may help prevent the formation of kidney stones.

She is a doting grandmother with 3 grandchildren, and still married to her husband Russ whom she still considers her soulmate.
Article: Nanking Massacre
Section: Japan

Question: Do Japanese citizens feel Japanese soldiers are responsible for the crimes committed at Nanking?

In Japan, the Nanking Massacre touches upon national identity and notions of "pride, honor and shame."
Yoshida argues that "Nanking crystallizes a much larger conflict over what should constitute the ideal perception of the nation: Japan, as a nation, acknowledges its past and apologizes for its wartime wrongdoings; or .
.
.
stands firm against foreign pressures and teaches Japanese youth about the benevolent and courageous martyrs who fought a just war to save Asia from Western aggression."
Recognizing the Nanking Massacre as such can be viewed in some circles in Japan as "Japan bashing" (in the case of foreigners) or "self-flagellation" (in the case of Japanese).
The majority of Japanese acknowledge that Japanese troops committed atrocities during the Nanking Massacre.
Some Japanese officials and writers have openly denied the incident, claiming it to be propaganda designed to spark an anti-Japan movement.
In many ways, how "atrocious" the massacre was is the touchstone of left/right divide in Japan; i.e., leftists feel this is a defining moment of the Imperial Japanese Army; rightists believe Perry's opening of Japan and the atomic bombings are far more significant events.
Article: Marathon
Section: Wheelchair division

Question: How many wheelchair athletes competed in 1986?

Many marathons feature a wheelchair division.
Typically, those in the wheelchair racing division start their races earlier than their running counterparts.
The first wheelchair marathon was in 1974 in Toledo, Ohio, won by Bob Hall in 2:54.
Hall competed in the 1975 Boston Marathon and finished in 2:58, inaugurating the introduction of wheelchair divisions into the Boston Marathon.
From 1977 the race was declared the US National Wheelchair championship.
The Boston Marathon awards $10,000 to the winning push-rim athlete.
Ernst van Dyk has won the Boston Marathon wheelchair division nine times and holds the world record at 1:18:27, set in Boston in 2004.
Jean Driscoll won eight times (seven consecutively) and holds the women's world record at 1:34:22.
The New York City Marathon banned wheelchair entrants in 1977, citing safety concerns, but then voluntarily allowed Bob Hall to compete after the state Division of Human Rights ordered the marathon to show cause.
The Division ruled in 1979 that the New York City Marathon and New York Road Runners club had to allow wheelchair athletes to compete, and confirmed this at appeal in 1980, but the State Supreme Court ruled in 1981 that a ban on wheelchair racers was not discriminatory as the marathon was historically a foot race.
However, by 1986 14 wheelchair athletes were competing, and an official wheelchair division was added to the marathon in 2000.
Article: Portrait of Dr. Gachet
Section: Composition

Question: What was the color of the table that Gachet rested his elbow on in Van Gogh's painting?

Van Gogh painted Gachet resting his right elbow on a red table, head in hand.
Two yellow books as well as the purple medicinal herb foxglove are displayed on the table.
The foxglove in the painting is a plant from which digitalis is extracted for the treatment of certain heart complaints, perhaps an attribute of Gachet as a doctor.
The doctor's "sensitive face", which Van Gogh famously wrote to Paul Gauguin carried "the heartbroken expression of our time", is described by Robert Wallace as the portrait's focus.
Wallace described the ultramarine blue coat of Gachet, set against a background of hills painted a lighter blue, as highlighting the "tired, pale features and transparent blue eyes that reflect the compassion and melancholy of the man."
Van Gogh himself claimed this expression of melancholy "would seem to look like a grimace to many who saw the canvas".
With the "Portrait of Dr. Gachet", Van Gogh sought to create a "modern portrait," which he wrote to his sister "impassions me most - much, much more than all the rest of my "métier"."
Elaborating on this quote, Van Gogh scholar Jan Hulsker noted "...much later generations experience it not only as psychologically striking, but also as a very unconventional and 'modern' portrait."
He also wrote, "My self-portrait is done in nearly the same way but the blue is the fine blue of the Midi, and the clothes are a light lilac," which would refer to one of his final self-portraits painted in September the year previous.
Van Gogh also wrote to Wilhelmina regarding the Portraits of Madame Ginoux he painted first in Arles in 1888 and again in February 1890 while at the hospital in Saint-Rémy.
The second set were styled after the portrait of the same figure by Gauguin, and Van Gogh described Gachet's enthusiasm upon viewing the version painted earlier that year, which the artist had carried with him to the home in Auvers.
Van Gogh subsequently carried compositional elements from this portrait to that of Dr. Gachet, including the table-top with two books and pose of the figure with head leaning on one hand.
Article: Lady with an Ermine
Section: Provenance

Question: What location is the painting "Lady with an Ermine" currently in?

The painting was acquired in Italy by Prince Adam Jerzy Czartoryski, the son of Princess Izabela Czartoryska and Prince Adam Kazimierz Czartoryski in 1798, and incorporated it into the Czartoryskis’ family collections at Puławy in 1800.
The inscription on the top-left corner of the painting, LA BELE FERONIERE.
LEONARD DAWINCI., probably was added by a restorer shortly after its arrival in Poland, and before the background was overpainted.
Czartoryski was clearly aware it was a Leonardo, although the painting had never been discussed in print; unfortunately, no record exists of any previous owner.
The "Belle Ferronière" is the Leonardo portrait in the Louvre, whose sitter bears such a close resemblance, the Czartoryskis considered this sitter to be the same.
The painting travelled extensively during the 19th century; Princess Czartoryska rescued it in advance of the invading Russian army in 1830, hid it, then sent it to Dresden and on to the Czartoryski place of exile in Paris, the Hôtel Lambert, returning it to Kraków in 1882.
In 1939, almost immediately after the German occupation of Poland, it was seized by the Nazis and sent to the Kaiser Friedrich Museum in Berlin.
In 1940, Hans Frank, the Governor General of Poland, requested it be returned to Kraków, where it hung in his suite of offices.
At the end of the Second World War it was discovered by Allied troops in Frank's country home in Bavaria.
It has since been returned to Poland at the Czartoryski Museum in Kraków.
Currently the painting is in Old Town, Kraków, on display at the Wawel Castle.

Section: Lands

Question: What are the backstage ares of Disneyland called?

Disneyland Park consists of eight themed "lands" and a number of concealed backstage areas, and occupies approximately .
The park opened with "Main Street, U.S.A.", "Adventureland", "Frontierland", "Fantasyland", and "Tomorrowland", and has since added New Orleans Square in 1966, Bear Country (later Critter Country) in 1972, and Mickey's Toontown in 1993.
In 1957, Holidayland, opened to the public with a recreation area including a circus and baseball diamond, but was closed in late 1961.
It is often referred to as the "lost" land of Disneyland.
Throughout the park are 'Hidden Mickeys', representations of Mickey Mouse heads inserted subtly into the design of attractions and environmental decor.
An elevated berm supports the narrow gauge Disneyland Railroad that circumnavigates the park.
Article: The Thinker
Section: Casts

Question: In what year was the first large-scale bronze casting initially presented to the public?

"The Thinker" has been cast in multiple versions and is found around the world; the history of the progression from models to castings is complicated and still not entirely clear.
About 28 monumental-sized bronze casts of the sculpture are in museums and public places.
In addition, there are sculptures of different study size scales and plaster versions (often painted bronze) in both monumental and study sizes.
Some newer castings have been produced posthumously and are not considered part of the original production.
Rodin made the first small plaster version around 1880.
The first large-scale bronze casting was finished in 1902 but not presented to the public until 1904.
It became the property of the city of Paris — thanks to a subscription organized by Rodin admirers — and was put in front of the Panthéon in 1906.
In 1922, it was moved to the Hôtel Biron, which had been transformed into the Rodin Museum.
The first cast sculpture can be found in front of Grawemeyer Hall on the University of Louisville Belknap Campus in Louisville, Kentucky.
Made in Paris, it was first displayed at the St. Louis World's Fair in 1904 and was then given to the city.
This sculpture was the only cast created by the lost-wax casting method.

Section: Spin-off series

Question: Which character did they build the original series around?

In April 2013, Showtime president, David Nevins said that even though the series would end with Season 8, all options of continuing the series were "on the table".
Original reports were for a series to be built around the Debra Morgan character.
Dexter's showrunner, Scott Buck re-signed with Showtime for two years which further heated up discussion on a spin-off series.
On January 14, 2014, Nevins announced that they were in discussions for a spin-off series to "Dexter".
Nevins said that a new series would happen only do it if Michael C. Hall returned.
Nevins stated: "We're at the very preliminary stage.
That show is that character... and if I were to do something, I would do "Dexter" in a new concept and configuration.
I want the show to feel different, not just a continuation of the old show."
Michael C. Hall responded to the possible spin-off series saying he would be interested in returning.
Hall said: "I can't even wrap my mind around that.
And it's all just theoretical until there is some sort of script reflecting somebody's idea of where it could possibly go.
But it's hard for me to imagine what that would be.
Yeah, as far as playing Dexter again for an undefined amount of time, that's a little daunting to consider.
But doing another television series — there's a lot of amazing stuff on TV.
I don't want to do that right away.
But I wouldn't say never to that."

In some parts of Scotland, ring doughnuts are referred to as "doughrings", with the 'doughnut' moniker being reserved exclusively for the nut-shaped variety.
Glazed, twisted rope-shaped doughnuts are known as "yum-yums".
It is also possible to buy fudge doughnuts in certain regions of Scotland.
Also known as doughnoughts, referring to the 'zero' shape or 'nought', being supplied in bakeries and supermarkets.
Fillings include jam, custard, cream, sweet mincemeat, chocolate and apple.
Common ring toppings are sprinkle-iced and chocolate.
In Northern Ireland, ring doughnuts are known as 'gravy rings', gravy being an archaic term for hot cooking oil.

Section: U.S. broadcast

Question: What company protested reruns of "Dexter" on CBS?

Criticism.U.S.
When U.S. network CBS publicly announced in December 2007 that it was considering "Dexter" for broadcast reruns, the Parents Television Council (PTC) protested the decision.
When the network began posting promotional videos of the rebroadcast on YouTube on January 29, 2008, PTC president Timothy F. Winter, in a formal press release, again called for CBS to not broadcast the show on broadcast television, saying that it "should remain on a premium subscription cable network" because "the series compels viewers to empathize with a serial killer, to root for him to prevail, to hope he doesn't get discovered."
Winter called on the public to demand that local affiliates preempt "Dexter", and warned advertisers that the PTC would take action against any affiliates that sponsored the show.
Following Winter's press release, CBS added parental advisory notices to its broadcast promotions and ultimately rated "Dexter" TV-14 for broadcast.
The show premiered on February 17, 2008, edited primarily for language and scenes containing sex or the dismemberment of live victims.
The PTC later objected to CBS' broadcasting of the final two episodes of the first season in a two-hour block, in addition to objections over the starting times of the episodes, which was as early as 8 p.m. in some time zones.

 Earth (1 AU from the Sun) is the largest and densest of the inner planets, the only one known to have current geological activity, and the only place where life is known to exist.
Its liquid hydrosphere is unique among the terrestrial planets, and it is the only planet where plate tectonics has been observed.
Earth's atmosphere is radically different from those of the other planets, having been altered by the presence of life to contain 21% free oxygen.
It has one natural satellite, the Moon, the only large satellite of a terrestrial planet in the Solar System.
Article: Indonesia
Section: Foreign relations and military

Question: With Whom does Indonesia maintain close relationships?

In contrast to Sukarno's anti-imperialistic antipathy to western powers and tensions with Malaysia, Indonesia's foreign relations since the Suharto "New Order" have been based on economic and political cooperation with Western nations.
Indonesia maintains close relationships with its neighbors in Asia, and is a founding member of ASEAN and the East Asia Summit.
The nation restored relations with the People's Republic of China in 1990 following a freeze in place since anti-communist purges early in the Suharto era.
Indonesia has been a member of the United Nations since 1950, and was a founder of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) and the Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC, now the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation).
Indonesia is signatory to the ASEAN Free Trade Area agreement, the Cairns Group, and the WTO, and has historically been a member of OPEC, although it withdrew in 2008 as it was no longer a net exporter of oil.
Indonesia has received humanitarian and development aid since 1966, in particular from the United States, western Europe, Australia, and Japan.
The Indonesian Government has worked with other countries to apprehend and prosecute perpetrators of major bombings linked to militant Islamism and Al-Qaeda.
The deadliest bombing killed 202 people (including 164 international tourists) in the Bali resort town of Kuta in 2002.
The attacks, and subsequent travel warnings issued by other countries, severely damaged Indonesia's tourism industry and foreign investment prospects.
Indonesia's armed forces (TNI) include the Army (TNI–AD), Navy (TNI–AL, which includes marines), and Air Force (TNI–AU).
The army has about 400,000 active-duty personnel.
Defense spending in the national budget was 4% of GDP in 2006, and is controversially supplemented by revenue from military commercial interests and foundations.
One of the reforms following the 1998 resignation of Suharto was the removal of formal TNI representation in parliament; nevertheless, its political influence remains extensive.
Separatist movements in the provinces of Aceh and Papua have led to armed conflict, and subsequent allegations of human rights abuses and brutality from all sides.
Following a sporadic thirty-year guerrilla war between the Free Aceh Movement (GAM) and the Indonesian military, a ceasefire agreement was reached in 2005.
In Papua, there has been a significant, albeit imperfect, implementation of regional autonomy laws, and a reported decline in the levels of violence and human rights abuses, since the presidency of Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.
Article: Arepa
Section: Similar dishes

Question: What is "arepuela" similar to in Colombia?

In Colombia, the "arepuela" is similar to the traditional "arepa".
It is made with wheat flour and sometimes anise, and when fried, the layers expand and the "arepuela" inflates, similar to miniature tortillas or pancakes.
This is very common in the interior of Colombia.
In the north, "bollos" are popular for breakfast and made with the same dough as an "arepa", but boiled rather than fried, giving them a texture similar to matzo balls or Czech bread dumplings.
In Costa Rica, "Arepas" can be made from batter, and may be similar to pancakes.
There are at least two sorts, the "pancake" "arepa", which is made with baking powder, and the "big flat" "arepa", which is made without baking powder.
These big flat "arepas" are, in size, not unlike the big tortillas one finds in Guanacaste (northern Costa Rica), (i.e.
some twelve inches in diameter) and are made of white flour and are sugary.
Once perfectly cooked, they should resemble a "giraffe skin", or a "jaguar skin" (i.e., white/yellowish with brown spots).
In Mexico, Gorditas are a similar fried dish, but are different from tortillas.
In Puerto Rico, "arepas" are made with maize meal, coconut milk, lard, butter, flour, and baking powder.
Preparation and cooking varies according to city and family tradition.
In El Salvador, Pupusas are similar flat cakes, but the most important difference is the traditional dough is made from nixtamal.
It is also filled before it is cooked, usually some pork, white cheese or black beans.
Other stypes of "pupusas" are now made from rice dough, particularly in the town called Olocuilta in the department of La Paz.
There are also some newer versions of the dish based on plantain dough.
