Question: Who was in the UK video for this song Chasing Cars

There are two music videos: one for UK, one for the US.
In the music video for UK, Gary Lightbody lies on open ground as cameras film him from different angles.
It starts raining, splashing his face and hands.
Gary enters a pool of water next to him and in the end of the video, he gets out of the water, rises on his feet and looks up at the camera as it zooms out overhead.
In the US music video, Lightbody is shown lying down in busy places while singing.
People ignore him and step over him.
Among the places he lies are a diner, an intersection, at the top of an escalator, in a subway car, at the top of a hill overlooking a highway, and at the end on a bed.
Article: Tug of war
Section: Tactics

Question: What is the driver's function in tug of war?

Aside from the raw muscle power needed for tug of war, it is also a technical sport.
The cooperation or "rhythm" of team members play an equally important role in victory, if not more, than their physical strength.
To achieve this, a person called a "driver" is used to harmonize the team's joint traction power.
He moves up and down next to his team pulling on the rope, giving orders to them when to pull and when to rest (called "hanging").
If he spots the opponents tries to pull his team away, he gives a "hang" command, each member will dig into the grass with his/her boots and movement of the rope is limited.
When the opponents are played out, he shouts "pull" and rhythmically waves his hat or handkerchief for his team to pull together.
Slowly but surely, the other team is forced into surrender by a runaway pull.
Article: RNA
Section: RNA genomes

Question: How can the RNa viral genome spread to other cells?

 genomes.
Like DNA, RNA can carry genetic information.
RNA viruses have genomes composed of RNA that encodes a number of proteins.
The viral genome is replicated by some of those proteins, while other proteins protect the genome as the virus particle moves to a new host cell.
Viroids are another group of pathogens, but they consist only of RNA, do not encode any protein and are replicated by a host plant cell's polymerase.
Article: Maple syrup
Section: Production

Question: When are maples usually tapped?

Maple syrup production is centred in northeastern North America; however, given the correct weather conditions, it can be made wherever suitable species of maple trees grow.
A maple syrup production farm is called a "sugarbush" or "sugarwood".
Sap is often boiled in a "sugar house" (also known as a "sugar shack," "sugar shanty," or "cabane à sucre"), a building louvered at the top to vent the steam from the boiling sap.
Maples are usually tapped beginning at 30 to 40 years of age.
Each tree can support between one and three taps, depending on its trunk diameter.
The average maple tree will produce of sap per season, up to per day.
This is roughly equal to 7% of its total sap.
Seasons last for four to eight weeks, depending on the weather.
During the day, starch stored in the roots for the winter rises through the trunk as sugary sap, allowing it to be tapped.
Sap is not tapped at night because the temperature drop inhibits sap flow, although taps are typically left in place overnight.
Some producers also tap in autumn, though this practice is less common than spring tapping.
Maples can continue to be tapped for sap until they are over 100 years old.
Article: Payphone (song)
Section: Abstract

Question: What was the world's 5th-best selling single of 2012?

Payphone (song)"Payphone" is a song performed by the American pop rock band Maroon 5 featuring American rapper Wiz Khalifa.
The song was released on April 17, 2012, as the lead single from their fourth studio album, "Overexposed" (2012).
The song was written by Adam Levine, Benny Blanco, Ammar Malik, Robopop, Shellback and Khalifa and produced by Blanco and Shellback.
The song is a pop ballad and it talks about a romance that is no more.
The song has received favorable reviews from music critics, who praised the catchy melody and named it "a radio success", but some others dismissed Khalifa's appearance and its title.
The official music video, directed by Samuel Bayer, finds Levine taking down some bank robbers and attempting to become the "hero" in a hail of bullets as he makes his escape, steals a gun from a robber and then gets mistaken for one.
Because of this, he must escape from a fleet of policemen, which he does with ease.
The video was positively received from critics, who considered it an enjoyable mini-action movie.
The video was nominated for an MTV Video Music Award for Best Pop Video, but lost out to "What Makes You Beautiful" by One Direction.
On the "Billboard" Hot 100, the song debuted at the number three spot before peaking at number two.
The song sold 493,000 copies in its first week, becoming the best sales week for a digital song by a group and also the eleventh-best sales week overall.
It also reached number one on the Canadian Hot 100 chart and stayed at the top for eight consecutive weeks.
It also topped the UK Singles Chart, making it the band's first ever single to do so.
"Payphone" was the world's fifth best-selling single of 2012 with 9.5 million copies sold.
Article: Let It Be
Section: Conflicts

Question: What album was recorded a year before let it be?

The rehearsals and recording sessions for the album did not run smoothly.
The acrimony that began during the recording of the previous year's "White Album" resumed soon after the rehearsals began.
The Beatles were not getting along, and Lennon and McCartney weren't working together as before.
McCartney assumed the role of the leader, while a laid back Lennon was more interested in spending time/making music with his soon-to-be wife Yoko Ono, who was now present in the studio with him at all times.
All of the factors led to friction within the band.
At one point, Harrison walked out and quit the group after several arguments with McCartney and a severe fall-out with Lennon, due to the former's perfectionism and the latter's growing lack of interest in the band.
Harrison was eventually coaxed back a few days later.
The film version is famous for showcasing a number of conflicts between the group members and has frequently been referred to as a documentary intended to show the making of an album but instead showing "the break-up of a band".
Article: Germany
Section: Politics

Question: How long has been Budersat been controlled by the Christian Democratic Party of Germany?

Germany is a federal, parliamentary, representative democratic republic.
The German political system operates under a framework laid out in the 1949 constitutional document known as the "Grundgesetz" (Basic Law).
Amendments generally require a two-thirds majority of both chambers of parliament; the fundamental principles of the constitution, as expressed in the articles guaranteeing human dignity, the separation of powers, the federal structure, and the rule of law are valid in perpetuity.
The president is the head of state and invested primarily with representative responsibilities and powers.
He is elected by the "Bundesversammlung" (federal convention), an institution consisting of the members of the "Bundestag" and an equal number of state delegates.
The second-highest official in the German order of precedence is the "Bundestagspräsident" (President of the "Bundestag"), who is elected by the "Bundestag" and responsible for overseeing the daily sessions of the body.
The third-highest official and the head of government is the Chancellor, who is appointed by the "Bundespräsident" after being elected by the "Bundestag".
The chancellor, currently Angela Merkel, is the head of government and exercises executive power, similar to the role of a Prime Minister in other parliamentary democracies.
Federal legislative power is vested in the parliament consisting of the "Bundestag" (Federal Diet) and "Bundesrat" (Federal Council), which together form the legislative body.
The "Bundestag" is elected through direct elections, by proportional representation (mixed-member).
The members of the "Bundesrat" represent the governments of the sixteen federated states and are members of the state cabinets.
Since 1949, the party system has been dominated by the Christian Democratic Union and the Social Democratic Party of Germany.
So far every chancellor has been a member of one of these parties.
However, the smaller liberal Free Democratic Party (which had members in the Bundestag from 1949 to 2013) and the Alliance '90/The Greens (which has had seats in parliament since 1983) have also played important roles.
Minor parties such as The Left, Free Voters and the Pirate Party are represented in some state parliaments.

Article: Greece
Section: Hellenistic and Roman periods (323 BC–4th century AD)

Question: Who said of Greece, "Graecia capta ferum victorem cepit"?

Hellenistic and Roman periods (323 BC–4th century AD).
After a period of confusion following Alexander's death, the Antigonid dynasty, descended from one of Alexander's generals, established its control over Macedon by 276 BC, as well as hegemony over most of the Greek city-states.
From about 200 BC the Roman Republic became increasingly involved in Greek affairs and engaged in a series of wars with Macedon.
Macedon's defeat at the Battle of Pydna in 168 BC signaled the end of Antigonid power in Greece.
In 146 BC Macedonia was annexed as a province by Rome, and the rest of Greece became a Roman protectorate.
The process was completed in 27 BC when the Roman Emperor Augustus annexed the rest of Greece and constituted it as the senatorial province of Achaea.
Despite their military superiority, the Romans admired and became heavily influenced by the achievements of Greek culture, hence Horace's famous statement: "Graecia capta ferum victorem cepit" ("Greece, although captured, took its wild conqueror captive").
Greek science, technology and mathematics are generally considered to have reached their peak during the Hellenistic period.
Greek-speaking communities of the Hellenized East were instrumental in the spread of early Christianity in the 2nd and 3rd centuries, and Christianity's early leaders and writers (notably St Paul) were generally Greek-speaking, though none were from Greece.
Greece itself had a tendency to cling on to paganism and was not one of the influential centers of early Christianity: in fact, some ancient Greek religious practices remained in vogue until the end of the 4th century, with some areas such as the southeastern Peloponnese remaining pagan until well into the 10th century AD.

Article: Global warming
Section: Surveys of public opinion

Question: how many people believe global warning is a major concern?

Researchers at the University of Michigan have found that the public's belief as to the causes of global warming depends on the wording choice used in the polls.
In 2007–2008 Gallup Polls surveyed 127 countries.
Over a third of the world's population was unaware of global warming, with people in developing countries less aware than those in developed, and those in Africa the least aware.
Of those aware, Latin America leads in belief that temperature changes are a result of human activities while Africa, parts of Asia and the Middle East, and a few countries from the Former Soviet Union lead in the opposite belief.
There is a significant contrast of the opinions of the concept and the appropriate response between Europe and the United States.
Nick Pidgeon of Cardiff University said that "results show the different stages of engagement about global warming on each side of the Atlantic", adding, "The debate in Europe is about what action needs to be taken, while many in the US still debate whether climate change is happening."
A 2010 poll by the Office of National Statistics found that 75% of UK respondents were at least "fairly convinced" that the world's climate is changing, compared to 87% in a similar survey in 2006.
A January 2011 ICM poll in the UK found 83% of respondents viewed climate change as a current or imminent threat, while 14% said it was no threat.
Opinion was unchanged from an August 2009 poll asking the same question, though there had been a slight polarisation of opposing views.
By 2010, with 111 countries surveyed, Gallup determined that there was a substantial decrease in the number of Americans and Europeans who viewed global warming as a serious threat.
In the US, a little over half the population (53%) now viewed it as a serious concern for either themselves or their families; this was 10% below the 2008 poll (63%).
Latin America had the biggest rise in concern, with 73% saying global warming was a serious threat to their families.
That global poll also found that people are more likely to attribute global warming to human activities than to natural causes, except in the USA where nearly half (47%) of the population attributed global warming to natural causes.
A March–May 2013 survey by Pew Research Center for the People & the Press polled 39 countries about global threats.
According to 54% of those questioned, global warming featured top of the perceived global threats.
In a January 2013 survey, Pew found that 69% of Americans say there is solid evidence that the Earth's average temperature has been getting warmer over the past few decades, up six points since November 2011 and 12 points since 2009.

Article: Iran
Section: Provinces and cities

Question: Which body made the Persepolis citadel a World Heritage Site in 1979?

Iran is divided into thirty one provinces ("ostān"), each governed by an appointed governor (استاندار, ostāndār).
The provinces are divided into counties ("shahrestān"), and subdivided into districts ("bakhsh") and sub-districts ("dehestān").
Iran has one of the highest urban growth rates in the world.
From 1950 to 2002, the urban proportion of the population increased from 27% to 60%.
The United Nations predicts that by 2030, 80% of the population will be urban.
Most internal migrants have settled near the cities of Tehran, Isfahan, Ahvaz, and Qom.
The listed populations are from the 2006/07 (1385 AP) census.
Tehran, with a population of 7,705,036, is the largest city in Iran and is the capital.
Tehran, like many big cities, suffers from severe air pollution.
It is the hub of the country's communication and transport network.
Mashhad, with a population of 2,410,800, is the second largest Iranian city and the centre of the Razavi Khorasan Province.
Mashhad is one of the holiest Shia cities in the world as it is the site of the Imam Reza shrine.
It is the centre of tourism in Iran, and between 15 and 20 million pilgrims go to the Imam Reza's shrine every year.
Another major Iranian city is Isfahan (population 1,583,609), which is the capital of Isfahan Province.
The Naqsh-e Jahan Square in Isfahan has been designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
The city contains a wide variety of Islamic architectural sites ranging from the 11th to the 19th century.
The growth of the suburban area around the city has turned Isfahan into Iran's second most populous metropolitan area (3,430,353).
The fourth major city of Iran is Tabriz (population 1,378,935), the capital of the East Azerbaijan Province.
It is also the second industrial city of Iran after Tehran.
Tabriz had been the second largest city in Iran until the late 1960s and one of its former capitals and residence of the crown prince under the Qajar dynasty.
The city has proven extremely influential in the country’s recent history.
The fifth major city is Karaj (population 1,377,450), located in Alborz Province and situated 20 km west of Tehran, at the foot of the Alborz mountains; however, the city is increasingly becoming an extension of metropolitan Tehran.
The sixth major Iranian city is Shiraz (population 1,214,808); it is the capital of Fars Province.
The Elamite civilization to the west greatly influenced the area, which soon came to be known as Persis.
The ancient Persians were present in the region from about the 9th century BCE, and became rulers of a large empire under the Achaemenid dynasty in the 6th century BCE.
The ruins of Persepolis and Pasargadae, two of the four capitals of the Achaemenid Empire, are located in or near Shiraz.
Persepolis was the ceremonial capital of the Achaemenid Empire and is situated northeast of modern Shiraz.
UNESCO declared the citadel of Persepolis a World Heritage Site in 1979.
