Section: Box office

Question: How much money did Terminator Salvation make on the first day of release?

The film's first nationwide U.S. screenings were at 12 A.M. on Thursday, May 21, 2009, making $3 million from midnight screenings and earning $13.3 million in its first day and grossed an additional $42,558,390 on its 4-day Memorial Day opening weekend from 3,530 theaters.
It debuted at #2 behind "", giving it a lower first weekend take than its predecessor, becoming the first film in the series not to open at #1 and failing to meet Boxoffice Magazine predictions by 50%.
"Terminator Salvation" was more successful in its international release, opening at #1 in 66 of 70 territories through the first week of June, and continuing to be the highest-grossing film in the following week.
The film's total domestic gross was $125,322,469, along with $246,030,532 from overseas territories, for a worldwide gross of $371,353,001.
As of December 2009, the film ranks 14th for the year internationally and 23rd domestically (U.S. and Canada), which ranks it last in the series and puts it below initial expectations in terms of domestic gross and first weekend, as well as overall global take.

Section: At auction

Question: What year was Pollock's last painting shown in the US?

Art market.
At auction.
In 1973, Blue Poles "(Blue Poles: Number 11, 1952)," was purchased by the Australian Whitlam Government for the National Gallery of Australia for US $2 million (A$1.3 million at the time of payment).
At the time, this was the highest price ever paid for a modern painting.
The painting is now one of the most popular exhibits in the gallery.
It was a centerpiece of the Museum of Modern Art's 1998 retrospective in New York, the first time the painting had been shown in America since its purchase.
In November 2006, Pollock's "No.
5, 1948" became the world's most expensive painting, when it was sold privately to an undisclosed buyer for the sum of $140,000,000.
Another artist record was established in 2004, when "No.
12" (1949), a medium-sized drip painting that had been shown in the United States Pavilion at the 1950 Venice Biennale, fetched $11.7 million at Christie's, New York.
In 2012, "Number 28, 1951," one of the artist’s combinations of drip and brushwork in shades of silvery gray with red, yellow and shots of blue and white, also sold at Christie's, New York, for $20.5 million—$23 million with fees—within its estimated range of $20 million to $30 million.
In 2013 Pollock's "Number 19" (1948) was sold by Christies for a reported $58,363,750 during an auction that ultimately reached $495 million total sales in one night which Christies reports as a record to date as the most expensive auction of contemporary art.

Section: New York

Question: "Twister... Ride It Out" was inspired by what?

This section of the park is aptly named.
Within its boundaries can be found architectural styles and sets that resemble the New York from the past and present.
New York's flagship attraction is Revenge of the Mummy: The Ride.
Opening in May 2004, this indoor roller coaster was inspired by "The Mummy film franchise".
Outside the ride guests can purchase merchandise items from "Sahara Traders".
Twister... Ride it Out is a live-action attraction that uses special effects to simulate a tornado.
It was inspired by the 1996 film "Twister".
The attraction opened in 1998 and features a merchandise shop entitled "Aftermath" nearby.
A walkthrough attraction named Delancey Street Preview Center allows visitors to preview upcoming films or television shows created by Universal Studios.
This allows the company to receive feedback from a wide range of sources.
The Preview Center opened in 2006.
In the streets of New York, The Blues Brothers perform a variety of classic rock and soul songs multiple times per day in The Blues Brothers Live.
New York features several dining outlets: "Finnegan's Bar and Grill" and "Louie's Italian Restaurant" which were designed for the park as well as "Starbucks Coffee" and "Ben & Jerry's" which are commercial franchises.
Within New York exist three merchandise shops: "Sahara Traders", "Aftermath" and "Rosie's Irish Shop".
The first two feature merchandise related to attractions within this area.
As Nickelodeon was headquartered in the park at the time, the opening credits for "Roundhouse" and "All That" (two of its shows) were filmed around this area of the park.
Article: United Arab Emirates
Section: Geography

Question: Geographically, where is the United Arab Emirates?

The United Arab Emirates is situated in Southwest Asia, bordering the Gulf of Oman and the Persian Gulf, between Oman and Saudi Arabia; it is in a strategic location along southern approaches to the Strait of Hormuz, a vital transit point for world crude oil.
The UAE lies between 22°30' and 26°10' north latitude and between 51° and 56°25′ east longitude.
It shares a 530-kilometer border with Saudi Arabia on the west, south, and southeast, and a 450-kilometer border with Oman on the southeast and northeast.
The land border with Qatar in the Khawr al Udayd area is about nineteen kilometers () in the northwest; however, it is a source of ongoing dispute.
Following Britain's military departure from UAE in 1971, and its establishment as a new state, the UAE laid claim to islands resulting in disputes with Iran that remain unresolved.
UAE also disputes claim on other islands against the neighboring state of Qatar.
The largest emirate, Abu Dhabi, accounts for 87% of the UAE's total area ().
The smallest emirate, Ajman, encompasses only (see figure).
The UAE coast stretches for more than along the southern shore of the Persian Gulf.
Most of the coast consists of salt pans that extend far inland.
The largest natural harbor is at Dubai, although other ports have been dredged at Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and elsewhere.
Numerous islands are found in the Persian Gulf, and the ownership of some of them has been the subject of international disputes with both Iran and Qatar.
The smaller islands, as well as many coral reefs and shifting sandbars, are a menace to navigation.
Strong tides and occasional windstorms further complicate ship movements near the shore.
The UAE also has a stretch of the Al Bāţinah coast of the Gulf of Oman, although the Musandam Peninsula, the very tip of Arabia by the Strait of Hormuz is an exclave of Oman separated by the UAE.
South and west of Abu Dhabi, vast, rolling sand dunes merge into the Rub al-Khali (Empty Quarter) of Saudi Arabia.
The desert area of Abu Dhabi includes two important oases with adequate underground water for permanent settlements and cultivation.
The extensive Liwa Oasis is in the south near the undefined border with Saudi Arabia.
About to the northeast of Liwa is the Al-Buraimi oasis, which extends on both sides of the Abu Dhabi-Oman border.
Lake Zakher is a man-made lake near the border with Oman.
Prior to withdrawing from the area in 1971, Britain delineated the internal borders among the seven emirates in order to preempt territorial disputes that might hamper formation of the federation.
In general, the rulers of the emirates accepted the British intervention, but in the case of boundary disputes between Abu Dhabi and Dubai, and also between Dubai and Sharjah, conflicting claims were not resolved until after the UAE became independent.
The most complicated borders were in the Al-Hajar al-Gharbi Mountains, where five of the emirates contested jurisdiction over more than a dozen enclaves.
Article: Astrology
Section: Scientific analysis and criticism

Question: Who has astrology been rejected by?

Astrology has been rejected by the scientific community as having no explanatory power for describing the universe.
Scientific testing of astrology has been conducted, and no evidence has been found to support any of the premises or purported effects outlined in astrological traditions.
There is no proposed mechanism of action by which the positions and motions of stars and planets could affect people and events on Earth that does not contradict well understood, basic aspects of biology and physics.
The majority of professional astrologers rely on performing astrology-based personality tests and making relevant predictions about the remunerator's future.
Those who continue to have faith in astrology have been characterized as doing so "in spite of the fact that there is no verified scientific basis for their beliefs, and indeed that there is strong evidence to the contrary".
It has also been shown that confirmation bias is a psychological factor that contributes to belief in astrology.
Confirmation bias is a form of cognitive bias.
From the literature, Astrology believers often tend to selectively remember those predictions which have turned out to be true, and do not remember those predictions which happen to be false.
Another, separate, form of confirmation bias also plays a role, where believers often fail to distinguish between messages that demonstrate special ability and those which do not.
Thus there are two distinct forms of confirmation bias that are under study with respect to astrological belief.

Section: Critical reception

Question: What kind of reviews from critics and the public did Jiro Dreams of Sushi receive?

The film received very positive reviews from critics.
The film earned a rating of 99% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 70 reviews and an average rating of 7.8/10, with the critical consensus saying, "Beautiful, thoughtful, and engrossing, "Jiro Dreams of Sushi" should prove satisfying even for filmgoers who don't care for the cuisine."
It has a score of 77 on Metacritic based on 26 reviews.
Roger Ebert called it a "portrait of tunnel vision" and concluded:"While watching it, I found myself drawn into the mystery of this man.
Are there any unrealized wishes in his life?
Secret diversions?
Regrets?
If you find an occupation you love and spend your entire life working at it, is that enough?
Standing behind his counter, Jiro notices things.
Some customers are left-handed, some right-handed.
That helps determine where they are seated at his counter.
As he serves a perfect piece of sushi, he observes it being eaten.
He knows the history of that piece of seafood.
He knows his staff has recently started massaging an octopus for 45 minutes and not half an hour, for example.
Does he search a customer's eyes for a signal that this change has been an improvement?
Half an hour of massage was good enough to win three Michelin stars.
You realize the tragedy of Jiro Ono's life is that there are not, and will never be, four stars."
Article: Taco
Section: Puffy tacos, taco kits, breakfast tacos and tacodillas

Question: Where does "Henry's Puffy Tacos" originate?

Since at least 1978, a variation called the "puffy taco" has been popular.
"Henry's Puffy Tacos", opened by Henry Lopez in San Antonio, Texas, claims to have invented the variation, in which uncooked corn tortillas (flattened balls of masa dough) are quickly fried in hot oil until they expand and become "puffy".
Fillings are similar to hard-shell versions.
Restaurants offering this style of taco have since appeared in other Texas cities, as well as in California, where Henry's brother, Arturo Lopez, opened "Arturo's Puffy Taco" in Whittier, not long after Henry's opened.
Henry's continues to thrive, managed by the family's second generation.
Kits are available at grocery and convenience stores and usually consist of taco shells (corn tortillas already fried in a U-shape), seasoning mix and taco sauce.
Commercial vendors for the home market also market soft taco kits with tortillas instead of taco shells.
The breakfast taco, found in Tex-Mex cuisine, is filled with meat, eggs, or cheese, with other ingredients.
The tacodilla contains melted cheese in between the two folded tortillas, thus resembling a quesadilla.
Article: Pablo Picasso
Section: Cubism

Question: What is synthetic cubism?

Analytic cubism (1909–1912) is a style of painting Picasso developed with Georges Braque using monochrome brownish and neutral colours.
Both artists took apart objects and "analyzed" them in terms of their shapes.
Picasso and Braque's paintings at this time share many similarities.
Synthetic cubism (1912–1919) was a further development of the genre, in which cut paper fragments – often wallpaper or portions of newspaper pages – were pasted into compositions, marking the first use of collage in fine art.
In Paris, Picasso entertained a distinguished coterie of friends in the Montmartre and Montparnasse quarters, including André Breton, poet Guillaume Apollinaire, writer Alfred Jarry, and Gertrude Stein.
Apollinaire was arrested on suspicion of stealing the "Mona Lisa" from the Louvre in 1911.
Apollinaire pointed to his friend Picasso, who was also brought in for questioning, but both were later exonerated.
Article: Chile
Section: Early history

Question: How long ago did Native Americans settle in the area where Chile would eventually be located?

Early history.
About 10,000 years ago, migrating Native Americans settled in fertile valleys and coastal areas of what is present-day Chile.
Example settlement sites from the very early human habitation are Monte Verde, Cueva del Milodon and the Pali Aike Crater's lava tube.
The Incas briefly extended their empire into what is now northern Chile, but the Mapuche (or Araucanians as they were known by the Spaniards) successfully resisted many attempts by the Inca Empire to subjugate them, despite their lack of state organization.
They fought against the Sapa Inca Tupac Yupanqui and his army.
The result of the bloody three-day confrontation known as the Battle of the Maule was that the Inca conquest of the territories of Chile ended at the Maule river.
Article: Subatomic particle
Section: Abstract

Question: What is the definition of wave-particle duality?

In the physical sciences, subatomic particles are particles smaller than atoms.
(although some subatomic particles have mass greater than some atoms).
There are two types of subatomic particles: elementary particles, which according to current theories are not made of other particles; and "composite" particles.
Particle physics and nuclear physics study these particles and how they interact.
In particle physics, the concept of a particle is one of several concepts inherited from classical physics.
But it also reflects the modern understanding that at the quantum scale matter and energy behave very differently from what much of everyday experience would lead us to expect.
The idea of a particle underwent serious rethinking in light of experiments that showed that light could behave like a stream of particles (called photons) as well as exhibit wave-like properties.
This led to the new concept of wave–particle duality to reflect that quantum-scale "particles" behave like both particles and waves.
Another new concept, the uncertainty principle, states that such their properties as position and momentum cannot be measured exactly.
In more recent times, wave–particle duality has been shown to apply not only to photons but to increasingly massive particles.
Interactions of particles in the framework of quantum field theory are understood as creation and annihilation of "quanta" of corresponding fundamental interactions.
This blends particle physics with field theory.
Article: Peru
Section: Demographics

Question: How many centuries did it take to form Peru?

Peru is a multiethnic country formed by different groups over five centuries.
Amerindians inhabited Peruvian territory for several millennia before the Spanish Conquest of the 16th century; according to historian Noble David Cook their population decreased from nearly 5–9 million in the 1520s to around 600,000 in 1620 mainly because of infectious diseases.
Spaniards and Africans arrived in large numbers under colonial rule, mixing widely with each other and indigenous peoples.
Gradual European immigration from Italy, Spain, France, Britain, and Germany followed independence.
Peru freed its black slaves in 1854.
Chinese arrived in the 1850s, replacing slave workers, and have since greatly influenced Peruvian society.
The last Peruvian census that attempted to classify persons according to ethnicity was in 1940, when 53% of the population was found to be white or mestizo (mixed white and Amerindian ancestry) and 46% was found to be Amerindian.
According to the CIA World Factbook, the majority of the people in Peru are Amerindians, mostly Quechua and Aymara, followed by mestizos.
Yet, in a 2006 survey from the "Instituto Nacional de Estadística e Informática" (INEI), the Peruvian population self-identified primarily as mestizo (59.5%), followed by Quechua (22.7%), Aymara (2.7%), Amazonian (1.8%), Black/Mulatto (1.6%), white (4.9%), and "Others" (6.7%).
With about 29.5 million inhabitants, Peru is the fifth most populous country in South America.
Its demographic growth rate declined from 2.6% to 1.6% between 1950 and 2000; population is expected to reach approximately 42 million in 2050.
As of 2007, 75.9% lived in urban areas and 24.1% in rural areas.
Major cities include Lima (home to over 8 million people), Arequipa, Trujillo, Chiclayo, Piura, Iquitos, Cusco, Chimbote, and Huancayo; all reported more than 250,000 inhabitants in the 2007 census.
There are 15 uncontacted Amerindian tribes in Peru.
Spanish, the first language of 83.9% of Peruvians aged five and older in 2007, is the primary language of the country.
It coexists with several indigenous languages, the most common of which is Quechua, spoken by 13.2% of the population.
Other native and foreign languages were spoken at that time by 2.7% and 0.1% of Peruvians, respectively.
In the 2007 census, 81.3% of the population over 12 years old described themselves as Catholic, 12.5% as Evangelical, 3.3% as of other denominations, and 2.9% as non-religious.
Literacy was estimated at 92.9% in 2007; this rate is lower in rural areas (80.3%) than in urban areas (96.3%).
Primary and secondary education are compulsory and free in public schools.
Article: Bacon
Section: Bacon mania

Question: What percentage did bacon sales climb in 2013 in the U.S.?

 mania.
The United States and Canada have seen an increase in the popularity of bacon and bacon related recipes, dubbed "bacon mania".
The sale of bacon in the U.S. has increased significantly since 2011.
Sales climbed 9.5% in 2013, making it an all-time high of nearly $4 billion in U.S.
In a survey conducted by Smithfield, 65% of Americans would support bacon as their "national food."
Dishes such as bacon explosion, chicken fried bacon, and chocolate-covered bacon have been popularised over the internet, as has using candied bacon.
Recipes spread quickly through both countries' national media, culinary blogs, and YouTube.
Restaurants have organized and are organizing bacon and beer tasting nights, "The New York Times" reported on bacon infused with Irish whiskey used for Saint Patrick's Day cocktails, and celebrity chef Bobby Flay has endorsed a "Bacon of the Month" club online, in print, and on national television.
Commentators explain this surging interest in bacon by reference to what they deem American cultural characteristics.
Sarah Hepola, in a 2008 article in Salon.com, suggests a number of reasons, one of them being that eating bacon in the modern, health-conscious world is an act of rebellion: "Loving bacon is like shoving a middle finger in the face of all that is healthy and holy while an unfiltered cigarette smoulders between your lips."
She also suggests bacon is sexy (with a reference to Sarah Katherine Lewis' book "Sex and Bacon"), kitsch, and funny.
Hepola concludes by saying that "Bacon is American".
Alison Cook, writing in the "Houston Chronicle", argues the case of bacon's American citizenship by referring to historical and geographical uses of bacon.
Early American literature echoes the sentiment—in Ebenezer Cooke's 1708 poem "The Sot-Weed Factor", a satire of life in early colonial America, the narrator already complains that practically all the food in America was bacon-infused.
