Article: The Act of Killing
Section: Synopsis

Question: What events are the film The Act of Killing based on?

The film focuses on the Indonesian killings of 1965–1966, an anti-communist purge in which more than 500,000 people were killed.
When Suharto overthrew Sukarno, the President of Indonesia, following the failed coup of the 30 September Movement in 1965, the gangsters Anwar Congo and Adi Zulkadry in Medan (North Sumatra) were promoted from selling black market movie theatre tickets to leading the most notorious death squad in North Sumatra.
They also extorted ethnic Chinese locals, killing those who refused to pay.
Anwar personally killed approximately 1,000 people, usually by strangling with wire.
Today, Anwar is revered as a founding father of the right-wing paramilitary organization Pemuda Pancasila that grew out of the death squads.
The organization is so powerful that its leaders include government ministers, and they are happy to boast about everything from corruption and election rigging to clearing out peasants for land developers and genocide.
A regime was founded on crimes against humanity, yet has never been held accountable.
Invited by Oppenheimer, Anwar and his friends eagerly re-enact the killings for the cameras, and make dramatic scenes depicting their memories and feelings about the killings.
The scenes are produced in the style of their favorite film genres: gangster, western, and musical.
Various aspects of Anwar and his friends' filmmaking process are shown, but as they begin to dramatize Anwar's own nightmares, the fiction scenes begin to take over the film's form, leading the film to become increasingly surreal and nightmarish.
Oppenheimer has called the result "a documentary of the imagination".
While some of Anwar's friends realize that the killings were wrong, others worry about the consequences of the story on their public image.
Younger members of Pemuda Pancasila argue that they should boast about the horror of the massacres, because their terrifying and threatening force is the basis of their power today.
After Anwar plays a victim, he cannot continue.
He says that he feels what his victims have felt.
Oppenheimer, from behind the camera, points out that it was much worse for the victims, because they knew they were going to be killed, whereas Anwar was only acting.
Anwar then expresses doubts over whether he has sinned or not, tearfully saying he does not want the memories of what he did to come back to him.
He revisits the rooftop where he claims many of his killings took place, and gags repeatedly.
The dancers from the film's theatrical poster are seen before the credits begin to roll.

Question: How old is the son in Jiro Dreams of Sushi

Initially, Gelb had planned to do what he had nicknamed "Planet Sushi", inspired by the cinematography of the BBC documentary "Planet Earth":"Originally, I was going to make a film with a lot of different sushi chefs who all had different styles, but when I got to Jiro's restaurant, I was not only amazed by how good the sushi was and how much greater it was than any other sushi restaurant I had ever been to, but I also found Jiro to be such a compelling character and such an interesting person.
I was also fascinated by the story of his son, who is fifty-years-old, but still works for his father at the restaurant.
So, I thought, 'Here's a story about a person living in his father's shadow while his father is in a relentless pursuit of perfection.'
It was the makings of a good feature film.
"Principal photography took Gelb one month (January 2010), augmented by additional scenes shot later that year in August; editing took 10 months.
Article: Yellowstone National Park
Section: Climate

Question: In Yellowstone National Park, what is the highest temperature on record?

Yellowstone climate is greatly influenced by altitude, with lower elevations generally found to be warmer year round.
The record high temperature was in 2002, while the coldest temperature recorded is in 1933.
During the summer months of June through early September, daytime highs are normally in the range, while nighttime lows can go to below freezing (0 °C)—especially at higher altitudes.
Summer afternoons are frequently accompanied by thunderstorms.
Spring and fall temperatures range between with cold nights in the teens to single digits (−5 to −20 °C).
Winter in Yellowstone is very cold with high temperatures usually between zero to 20 °F (−20 to −5 °C) and nighttime temperatures below zero °F (−20 °C) for most of the winter.
Precipitation in Yellowstone is highly variable and ranges from annually near Mammoth Hot Springs, to in the southwestern sections of the park.
The precipitation of Yellowstone is greatly influenced by the moisture channel formed by the Snake River Plain to the west that was, in turn, formed by Yellowstone itself.
Snow is possible in any month of the year, with averages of annually around Yellowstone Lake, to twice that amount at higher elevations.
Tornadoes in Yellowstone are rare; however, on July 21, 1987, the most powerful tornado recorded in Wyoming touched down in the Teton Wilderness of Bridger-Teton National Forest and hit Yellowstone National Park.
Called the Teton–Yellowstone tornado, it was classified as an F4, with wind speeds estimated at between .
The tornado left a path of destruction wide, and long, and leveled of mature pine forest.
Both high elevation areas are classified as humid continental (Dfb), according to Köppen-Geiger climate classification.
Article: A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte
Section: Overview

Question: What year did Seurat start the painting?

Georges Seurat spent over two years painting "A Sunday Afternoon", focusing meticulously on the landscape of the park.
He reworked the original as well as completed numerous preliminary drawings and oil sketches.
He sat in the park, creating numerous sketches of the various figures in order to perfect their form.
He concentrated on the issues of colour, light, and form.
The painting is approximately 2 by 3 meters (7 by 10 feet) in size.
Motivated by study in optical and color theory, Seurat contrasted miniature dots or small brushstrokes of colors that when unified optically in the human eye were perceived as a single shade or hue.
He believed that this form of painting, called divisionism at the time but now known as pointillism, would make the colors more brilliant and powerful than standard brush strokes.
The use of dots of almost uniform size came in the second year of his work on the painting, 1885–86.
To make the experience of the painting even more vivid, he surrounded it with a frame of painted dots, which in turn he enclosed with a pure white, wooden frame, which is how the painting is exhibited today at the Art Institute of Chicago.
In creating the picture, Seurat employed the then-new pigment zinc yellow (zinc chromate), most visibly for yellow highlights on the lawn in the painting, but also in mixtures with orange and blue pigments.
In the century and more since the painting's completion, the zinc yellow has darkened to brown — a colour degeneration that was already showing in the painting in Seurat's lifetime.
The island of la Grande Jatte is located at the very gates of Paris, lying in the Seine between Neuilly and Levallois-Perret, a short distance from where currently stands La Défense business district.
Although for many years it was an industrial site, it is today the site of a public garden and a housing development.
When Seurat began the painting in 1884, the island was a bucolic retreat far from the urban center.
The painting was first exhibited in 1886, dominating the second Salon of the Société des Artistes Indépendants, of which Seurat had been a founder in 1884.

Section: Critical reception

Question: What was the song rated by Pop Crush?

Bill Lamb from About.com gave the song a positive review, giving the single four-and-a-half out of five stars.
Lamb wrote that, "The funky, whistle driven melody here is loose, light, and irresistibly funky.
The punchy guest vocal from fellow judge Christina Aguilera is simply icing on the cake.
There is a real vocal chemistry between Aguilera and Levine."
Lamb called the song an "outstanding summer song", writing that "It is light, danceable, and would sound great in the car with the top down."
Robbie Daw from Idolator wrote that "It takes a full two minutes and 15 seconds for Christina's soulful pipes to begin trilling on "Moves like Jagger."
But once she does, she immediately steals the show."
Daw concluded by writing that "this is the best thing from either of these two in years.
"While naming the song "a contender for 2011's song of the summer", James Dinh from MTV Newsroom wrote that "Adam Levine and Christina Aguilera have turned their friendly rivalry on NBC's "The Voice" into some studio chemistry."
Scott Schelter from Pop Crush awarded "Moves like Jagger" four-and-a-half out of five stars.
Schelter called the song "danceable and fun" and wrote that "the song would've been great even without Aguilera, but her fiery cameo makes it that much better."
Robert Copsey wrote for Digital Spy: " "Take me by the tongue and I'll know you/ Kiss me till you're drunk and I'll show you," Ad insists over a funky, finger-clicking bassline and an irresistible whistle hook that immediately burrows deep into the recesses of your brain.
"If I share my secret/ You're gonna have to keep it," Xtina says on her short, sweet and perfectly-formed cameo.
We've already got your number, love, but our surprise is still 100% genuine.
"Jagger himself acknowledged the song in an interview, calling the concept "very flattering."

Question: Which musical artists sings "Stronger?"

Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)"Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" is a song by American recording artist Kelly Clarkson and the titular song from her fifth studio album, "Stronger" (2011).
Originally titled as "What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger)", the song served as the album's second single on January 17, 2012 through RCA Records.
Written by Jörgen Elofsson, Ali Tamposi, and David Gamson, with additional writing and production by Greg Kurstin, "Stronger" is an uptempo song which draws from the genres of pop rock, dance-pop, and electropop.
Its lyrical content mainly explores themes of empowerment and recovery following a heartbreak, with the chorus inspired by a Friedrich Nietzsche quotation: "That which does not kill us makes us stronger.
"Upon its release, "Stronger" was met with positive reviews from music critics, who considered it to be the musical highlight of "Stronger".
Clarkson's vocal performance and song's production received particular praise, while criticism targeted the song's lyrical content.
Commercially, "Stronger" became her most successful single to date.
In the United States, it became her third song to top the "Billboard" Hot 100 chart for three non-consecutive weeks, surpassing "A Moment Like This" (2002) and "My Life Would Suck Without You" (2009) as her longest-running number one single on the chart.

Internationally, "Stronger" topped the national charts of Poland and Slovakia and attained a top-ten position in over fifteen countries around the world, eventually selling over five million copies worldwide, becoming one of the best-selling singles of all time.
Its success helped its parent album to sustain commercial longevity for over a year.
"Stronger" merited consideration for several industry awards—including three Grammy Award nominations, and a World Music Award nomination.
The song's accompanying music video was filmed by Shane Drake, which incorporates the theme of a global flash mob dance, featuring submitted videos of people dancing to the song.
The music video garnered positive reception from critics who felt that its overall impact was exuberant.
It earned Clarkson a nomination for a MuchMusic Video Award.

Article: Nigeria
Section: Crime

Question: How high does Nigeria rank in Transparency International's 2011 Corruption Perceptions Index?

Nigeria is home to a substantial network of organised crime, active especially in drug trafficking.
Nigerian criminal groups are heavily involved in drug trafficking, shipping heroin from Asian countries to Europe and America; and cocaine from South America to Europe and South Africa.
The various Nigerian Confraternities or "campus cults" are active in both organised crime and in political violence as well as providing a network of corruption within Nigeria.
As confraternities have extensive connections with political and military figures, they offer excellent alumni networking opportunities.
The Supreme Vikings Confraternity, for example, boasts that twelve members of the Rivers State House of Assembly are cult members.
On lower levels of society, there are the "area boys", organised gangs mostly active in Lagos who specialise in mugging and small-scale drug dealing.
According to official statistics, gang violence in Lagos resulted in 273 civilians and 84 policemen killed in the period of August 2000 to May 2001.
Internationally, Nigeria is infamous for a form of bank fraud dubbed "419", a type of advance fee fraud (named after Section 419 of the Nigerian Penal Code) along with the "Nigerian scam", a form of confidence trick practised by individuals and criminal syndicates.
These scams involve a complicit Nigerian bank (the laws being set up loosely to allow it) and a scammer who claims to have money he needs to obtain from that bank.
The victim is talked into exchanging bank account information on the premise that the money will be transferred to him, and then he'll get to keep a cut.
In reality, money is taken out instead, and/or large fees (which seem small in comparison with the imaginary wealth he awaits) are deducted.
In 2003, the Nigerian Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (or EFCC) was created, ostensibly to combat this and other forms of organised financial crime.
There is also some piracy in Nigeria, with attacks mainly directed at smaller ships shuttling employees and materials belonging to the oil companies with any involvement in oil exploration in the Niger Delta.
From 1 January 2007 to 29 October 2007, twenty-six pirate attacks were recorded.
Nigeria is also pervaded by political corruption.
It is ranked 143 out of 182 countries in Transparency International's 2011 Corruption Perceptions Index.
More than $400 billion was stolen from the treasury by Nigeria's leaders between 1960 and 1999.

Question: Who is the current world leader for producing frozen fries?

Spreading popularity.
Frozen fries.
The J. R. Simplot Company is credited with successfully commercializing French fries in frozen form during the 1940s.
Subsequently, in 1967, Ray Kroc of McDonald's contracted the Simplot company to supply them with frozen fries, replacing fresh-cut potatoes.
In 2004, 29% of the United States' potato crop were used to make frozen fries – 90% consumed by the food services sector and 10% by retail.
It is estimated that 80% of households in the UK buy frozen fries each year.
Canada's McCain Foods is the world's leading producer of frozen fries.
Article: Eiffel Tower
Section: Communications

Question: When did the Paris Observatory use the Eiffel Tower as an antenna?

The tower has been used for radio transmission since the beginning of the 20th century.
Until the 1950s, sets of antenna wires ran from the summit to anchors on the Avenue de Suffren and Champ de Mars.
These were connected to long-wave transmitters in small bunkers; in 1909 a permanent underground radio centre was built near the south pillar, which still exists today.
On 20 November 1913 the Paris Observatory, using the Eiffel Tower as an antenna, exchanged sustained wireless signals with the United States Naval Observatory which used an antenna in Arlington, Virginia.
The object of the transmissions was to measure the difference in longitude between Paris and Washington, D.C. Today, both radio and television stations broadcast their signals from the top of the Eiffel Tower.
Article: Payphone (song)
Section: Synopsis

Question: Who filled the part for female coworker in Payphone?

The video begins with a flashforward that starts with a beleaguered Levine torching his ride and dialing (possibly) his lost love's telephone number at a payphone.
Another typical day at a Las Vegas (seen from the decals on the police cars) bank for Levine is shown next, which turns into chaos when some bandits enter and take charge (one of them is played by the band's lead guitarist – James Valentine – and some of the other bank robbers are probably played by drummer Matt Flynn, bassist Mickey Madden and current keyboardist, originally a touring-only band member, PJ Morton) – all of this happens while the song plays in the background.
Levine grabs a gun from one of the robbers and threatens to get rid of them.
He and his female co-worker (played by Dutch model Bregje Heinen) escape though Levine is shot in the arm, but when some cops mistake him for one of the robbers, Levine tells the female co-worker to hide in a car and steals an AC Cobra 427 that belongs to Wiz Khalifa to get away from them.
A car chase follows and when Levine is almost caught by the police, he steers the stolen convertible onto the wrong side of the road and causes a huge explosion, which destroys one of the police cars.
When he finally reaches his destination in Los Angeles, he passes by a place where Wiz, the owner of the car, performed his rap earlier.
After Levine gets out of the convertible, it also explodes and he enters a booth, injured, with the titular payphone, probably to call for help (It is also likely that he is calling Heinen) – this connects to the beginning of the video.
Article: Malaysia
Section: Culture

Question: What year did the government create the "National Cultural Policy"

Malaysia has a multi-ethnic, multicultural, and multilingual society.
The original culture of the area stemmed from indigenous tribes that inhabited it, along with the Malays who later moved there.
Substantial influence exists from Chinese and Indian culture, dating back to when foreign trade began.
Other cultural influences include the Persian, Arabic, and British cultures.
Due to the structure of the government, coupled with the social contract theory, there has been minimal cultural assimilation of ethnic minorities.
In 1971, the government created a "National Cultural Policy", defining Malaysian culture.
It stated that Malaysian culture must be based on the culture of the indigenous peoples of Malaysia, that it may incorporate suitable elements from other cultures, and that Islam must play a part in it.
It also promoted the Malay language above others.
This government intervention into culture has caused resentment among non-Malays who feel their cultural freedom was lessened.
Both Chinese and Indian associations have submitted memorandums to the government, accusing it of formulating an undemocratic culture policy.
Some cultural disputes exist between Malaysia and neighbouring countries, notably Indonesia.
The two countries have a similar cultural heritage, sharing many traditions and items.
However, disputes have arisen over things ranging from culinary dishes to Malaysia's national anthem.
Strong feelings exist in Indonesia about protecting their national heritage.
The Malaysian government and the Indonesian government have met to defuse some of the tensions resulting from the overlaps in culture.
Feelings are not as strong in Malaysia, where most recognise that many cultural values are shared.
