Section: Thailand

Question: Which meat is Thai sausage made of?

There are many varieties of sausages known to Thai cuisine, some of which are specialities of a specific region of Thailand.
From northern Thailand comes "sai ua", a grilled minced pork sausage flavored with curry paste and fresh herbs.
Another grilled sausage is called "sai krok Isan", a fermented sausage with a distinctive slightly sour taste from northeastern Thailand (the region also known as Isan).
Both sausages are commonly eaten with sticky rice, fresh vegetables, and a fresh "nam phrik" (Thai chilli paste) or some raw bird's eye chilies.
They might also be served together with a refreshing Thai salad such as "som tum" (green papaya salad).
Also very popular in Thailand is "naem", a raw fermented pork sausage similar to the Vietnamese "nem chua" and Laotian "som moo".
This variety of sausage is often encountered as "yam naem" and "naem khluk", both of which are Thai salads.
Adopted from Vietnam comes "mu yo".
It is somewhat similar in taste and texture to liverwurst and, served with a "nam chim" (Thai dipping sauce), a popular snack in Thailand.
It too can be used as an ingredient for Thai salads and as a meat ingredient in, for instance, Thai soups.
"Kun chiang" is a dry and sweet Chinese sausage which has also been incorporated into the Thai culinary culture.
Known as "lap cheong" by Cantonese, in Thailand it is most often used, again, as an ingredient for a Thai salad, "yam kun chiang", one that is normally only eaten together with "khao tom kui", a plain rice congee.
A host of modern, factory-made, sausages have become popular as snacks in recent years.
These most often resemble hot-dogs and frankfurters and are commonly sold grilled or deep-fried at street stalls, and served with a sweet, sticky and slightly spicy soy-based sauce.
Article: We Found Love
Section: Composition

Question: "We Found Love" falls into what music genre?

"We Found Love" is an electro house and dance-pop song.
It also displays elements of Europop, pop, techno, trance, and Eurodisco.
According to the digital music sheet published at musicnotes.com, the song is written in the key of E♭ minor and it is set at a tempo of 128 beats per minute.
The instrumentation of "We Found Love" consists of alarm bells, a keyboard, repetitive pumped-up synthesizers and 4/4 beats.
Rihanna's vocal range in the song spans one octave, from the lower note of C♯4 to the higher note of C♯5.
Priya Elan of "NME" commented that Rihanna sounds "extremely relaxed" and Bill Lamb of About.com wrote that her vocals are simple and unaffected.
Leah Collins of "The Vancouver Sun" wrote that Rihanna's vocals on "We Found Love" were similar to her own ones on "Fly".
According to Elan, the keyboard work in the song bears resemblance to that in from "Only Girl (In the World)" and the melody is similar to that of "Complicated", a track included in Rihanna's 2010 studio album "Loud".
Similarly, Michael Cragg of "The Guardian" noted that "We Found Love" is in the same vein as "Only Girl (In the World)", with regard to its dance beat.
The lyrical content of the song is spare and largely revolves around Rihanna chanting the song's hook line, "We found love in a hopeless place".
Jody Rosen of "Rolling Stone" described it as "half-baked romantic".
Rihanna starts the song in a falsetto airy voice as she sings, "Yellow diamonds in the light / And we’re standing side by side / As your shadow crosses mine / What it takes to come alive."
Michael Cragg commented that the first chorus is almost being sidelined in favor of a large chunk of Harris's riff, before they join on the second chorus.
The hook repeatedly rings throughout the song.
In the second verse, she sings: "Shine a light through an open door / Love and life are real divine / Turn away cause I need you more / Feel the heartbeat in my mind / It’s the way I’m feeling I just can’t deny / But I’ve gotta let it go".
Article: Turn Me On (David Guetta song)
Section: Critical reception

Question: Who wrote that the best results come when Guetta rips artists from their comfort zone?

The song has garnered generally positive responses.
Scott Schelter wrote for "Pop Crush" that "It’s cool that Guetta is going for a little bit of a different sound, but different for him sounds like what everybody else is doing in the dance music world.
Still, having Minaj sing makes the tune worthwhile, even if “sing” must be used in quotes because of all the voice-processing."
Al Fox of BBC Music wrote that "the best results come when Guetta mercilessly rips artists from their comfort zone – take Minaj in songbird mode on 'Turn Me On."
Allmusic's David Jeffries wrote that "Nicki Minaj does a pole dance on the operating table for 'Turn Me On', while picking it as one of the best tracks on the album.
Carol Cooper of Village Voice gave a review talking about her voice, writing that "on "Turn Me On" Nicki Minaj gamely shifts between her Madonna range and her Rihanna register."
Ken Capobianco somewhat echoed the same thought of Cooper, writing that " Nicki Minaj delivers solid singing on the track.
"Joe Copplestone of PopMatters wrote a mixed review, saying that "the song showcases a suspiciously melodic performance by Minaj, with massive hooks that somehow let her make the transition from freak to diva."
Harley Brown of Consequence of Sound thought that the "skipping beat and screaming synths are more recognizable as quintessential techno."
Genevieve Koski of The A.V.
Club was more negative, writing that on the song Minaj is a "faceless-disco-diva."
Another negative review came from Idolator's Becky Bain, who dismissed "Guetta’s decision to take one of the most exciting rapper’s today and not only have her not rap, but drown her in Auto-Tune."
Article: Fencing
Section: History

Question: In what country did modern fencing originate?

The ancestor of modern fencing originated in Spain, where several books on fencing were written.
"Treatise on Arms" was written by Diego de Valera between 1458 and 1471 and is one of the oldest surviving manuals on western fencing shortly before dueling came under official ban by the Catholic Monarchs.
In conquest, the Spanish forces carried fencing around the world, particularly southern Italy, one of the major areas of strife between both nations.
The mechanics of modern fencing originated in the 18th century in an Italian school of fencing of the Renaissance, and, under their influence, was improved by the French school of fencing.
The Spanish school of fencing stagnated and was replaced by the Italian and French schools.
Nowadays, these two schools are the most influential around the world.
Dueling went into sharp decline after World War I.
After World War II, dueling went out of use in Europe except for very rare exceptions.
Training for duels, once fashionable for males of aristocratic backgrounds (although fencing masters such as Hope suggest that many people considered themselves trained from taking only one or two lessons), all but disappeared, along with the classes themselves.
Fencing continued as a sport, with tournaments and championships.
However, the need to actually prepare for a duel with "sharps" vanished, changing both training and technique.
Starting with épée in 1936, side-judges were replaced by an electrical scoring apparatus, with an audible tone and a red or green light indicating when a touch landed.
Foil first embraced electronic scoring in 1956, sabre in 1988.
The scoring box reduced the bias in judging, and permitted more accurate scoring of faster actions, lighter touches, and more touches to the back and flank than before.

Section: Commercial performance

Question: How many weeks did Adele's song "Rolling in the Deep" spend in the Billboard top 10?

In the UK, "Rolling in the Deep" debuted at number 2 (her second number 2 debut, after "Chasing Pavements"), behind Bruno Mars's "Grenade".
The song spent the first ten weeks of its chart run in the top ten.
Upon its American release, "Rolling in the Deep" became Adele's second single to chart in the country.
The song debuted on the "Billboard" Hot 100 at number 68 on 25 December 2010.
Later on, it became her first ever single to top a "Billboard" chart when it reached number one on the Hot Adult Top 40 Tracks chart in March 2011, and became her first number one hit in the country when it topped the "Billboard" Hot 100 in May 2011.
As a result, Adele became the first British singer to have topped both the "Billboard" Hot 100 and "Billboard" 200 charts in the same week since Leona Lewis did the same back in 2008.
In its 24th charting week, "Rolling in the Deep" stayed at number-one, making it the latest single at the top since Lady Gaga's "Just Dance" spent its third and final week at number one in its 24th charting week as well.
It stayed on top of the chart for seven straight weeks, the second longest run in 2011 behind Rihanna's "We Found Love", which spent eight weeks on top in 2011, and two weeks in 2012.
It has been certified 7× platinum, making it only the second song by a British female artist to reach this feat since Leona Lewis' "Bleeding Love".
As of October 2013, "Rolling in the Deep" has sold 8 million digital copies in the United States, becoming the second song to sell 8 million downloads.
It is the second biggest selling digital song in the United States, and the biggest-selling digital song of all time.
As of 26 July 2011, "Rolling in the Deep" was the third best selling digital single across Europe with 1.26 million copies sold.
As of 5 November 2011 issue of "Billboard", it had been No.
1 on the Adult Contemporary chart for 19 consecutive weeks.
"Rolling in the Deep" has become her label XL Recordings' best selling single, overtaking M.I.A.
's "Paper Planes" released in 2008 which until 2011 held the record.
The song became also the longest-charting release in Finland, peaking at number one and charting for 50 weeks.
Article: Sunflowers (Van Gogh series)
Section: The Paris "Sunflowers"

Question: When was it revealed that Van Gogh painted Sunflowers?

Little is known of Van Gogh's activities during the two years he lived with his brother Theo in Paris, 1886-1888.
The fact that he had painted Sunflowers already is only revealed in spring 1889, when Gauguin claimed one of the Arles versions in exchange for studies he had left behind after leaving Arles for Paris.
Van Gogh was upset and replied that Gauguin had absolutely no right to make this request: "I am definitely keeping my sunflowers in question.
He has two of them already, let that hold him.
And if he is not satisfied with the exchange he has made with me, he can take back his little Martinique canvas, and his self-portrait sent me from Brittany, at the same time giving me back both my portrait and the two sunflower canvases which he has taken to Paris.
So if he ever broaches this subject again, I've told you just how matters stand.
"The two Sunflowers in question show two buttons each; one of them was preceded by a small study, and a fourth large canvas combines both compositions.
These were Van Gogh's first paintings with ""nothing but sunflowers""—yet, he had already included sunflowers in still life and landscape earlier.

Question: What is a kebab?

Shish kebab ("Şiş", pronounced , meaning "skewer" is a Turkish word.)
is a dish consisting of meat threaded on a skewer and grilled.
Any kind of meat may be used; cubes of fruit or vegetables are often threaded on the spit as well.
Typical vegetables include tomato, bell pepper, onions, and mushrooms.
In the USA, the word "kebab" usually refers to shish kebab.
Article: Some Nights
Section: Recording and production

Question: What date did the band complete production on the album?

The most common creative process in the recording of "Some Nights" began with Ruess.
Ruess would come in with lyrics and a melody, leading Andrew Dost and guitarist Jack Antonoff to build chord structure and instrumentation from there, or "support that melody."
Dost noted that in recording, despite the composer's well-defined framework, the individuals' egos "pretty much disappear" and "everybody is happy to work towards the best possible song" cohesively together.
The dynamic between Bhasker and the band in the studio was mutually inspired, as Bhasker had never worked with a rock band before and Fun had never worked with a hip-hop producer.
Bhasker particularly enjoyed recording guitars with guitarist Jack Antonoff as he wasn't used to it, and Dost felt hearing Bhasker compose beats was "mind-blowing.
"The emphasis for Ruess on "Some Nights" was to make the songs more cohesive, as he felt his writing was "all over the place."
This meant creating songs that were concise instead of being "long and drawn out."
Bhasker was a proponent of using a single instrument to provide the biggest sounds, desiring not to "over-cram songs with ideas," declaring that everything that makes the song must be well-chosen.
Janelle Monáe collaborated with the trio on "We Are Young" through a friendship with Bhasker.
Bhasker was credited with bringing the band a bigger sound and an entirely new sonic translation to the band not present on their debut, "Aim and Ignite".
The album creates a mix of indie pop, theatric rock, and hip-hop—a sound that is credited to Bhasker.
"Some Nights" as a title floated around before any songs for the album were even created and was envisioned by Ruess.
It was inspired by how personalities can change on any given night.
Although the album isn't a concept album, the title changed the band's ideas for the album considerably, with Dost stating, "It's really nice once you have a title to know what the parameters are of what you're working on as a whole."
The band completed production on the album in October 2011.
Ruess called the seven months spent recording the record the most rewarding of any in his ten years of professional music work, calling it his career highlight.
Article: Poutine
Section: Variations

Question: Which ingredient is replaced in the Shawinigan region?

There are many variations of poutine.
Some restaurants offer poutine with such additions as chicken, bacon, or Montreal-style smoked meat.
Some such restaurants even boast a dozen or more variations of poutine.
For instance, more upscale poutine with three-pepper sauce, merguez sausage, foie gras or even caviar and truffle can be found.
Some variations eliminate the cheese, but most Québécois would call such a dish a "frite sauce" ("french fries with sauce") rather than poutine.
Shawinigan and some other regions have "patate-sauce-choux" where shredded raw cabbage replaces cheese.
Fast food combination meals in Canada often have the option of getting french fries "poutinized" by adding cheese curds (or shredded cheese in the Prairies and Western Canada) and gravy.
Over the years, there have been many variations to this Classic Canadian Dish.
Sweet potato, for example, has been invented to be a healthy alternative to french fries.
The idea of adding dietary fiber and vitamins in this classic dish is widely appraised by the public.
Outside Canada, poutine is found in northern border regions of the United States such as New England, the Pacific Northwest and the Upper Midwest.
These regions offer further variations of the basic dish.
Cheeses other than fresh curds are commonly used (most commonly mozzarella cheese), along with beef, brown or turkey gravy.
In the county culture especially, a mixed fry can also come with cooked ground beef on top and is referred to as a hamburger mix, though this is less popular than a regular mix.
Article: Navy Pier
Section: First use: commercial pier and entertainment

Question: Chicago Municipal Pier was officially named Navy Pier in honor of what?

Even as Chicago Municipal Pier was being built, mass-produced automobiles and trucks were beginning to wreak havoc on the package freight and passenger steamboat industries of Lake Michigan.
The Pier proved to be much more successful as a public gathering place.
In the 1920s, the Pier expanded to have its own streetcar line, a theater, and an emergency room.
It gained wide recognition in 1922 by hosting the "Pageant of Progress."
In 1927 the Pier was officially named Navy Pier in honor of the Naval personnel that served there during WWI.
In this period, the Pier was described as a summer playground, with recreational facilities that included picnicking areas, dining pavilions, a dance hall, auditorium, and children's playground.
A radio station.
WCFL, operated from the north tower of the auditorium.
During the 1920s, it is estimated that an average of 3.2 million visitors frequented the Pier annually.
This decade is sometimes called the Pier's "Golden Age".
The advent of the Great Depression in the early 1930s, as well as the increased use of trucks and automobiles, resulted in the decline of freight and passenger ship activity; however, cultural and recreational use of the Pier continued.
In 1933, the Century of Progress Exposition (World's Fair) on the lakefront also drew many conventions and visitors to the Pier.
During the 1930s, the Pier also housed various New Deal agencies.
Article: Indonesia
Section: Foreign relations and military

Question: The Indonesian army has how many active personnel?

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.

Question: In what year did France set up an aid program for Americans?

Other participants.
In early 1776, France set up a major program of aid to the Americans, and the Spanish secretly added funds.
Each country spent one million "livres tournaises" to buy munitions.
A dummy corporation run by Pierre Beaumarchais concealed their activities.
American rebels obtained some munitions through the Dutch Republic as well as French and Spanish ports in the West Indies.
Article: Pike Place Market
Section: Victor Steinbrueck Park

Question: When was the newer Market Park redesigned?

Victor Steinbrueck Park directly north of the market was originally Market Park.
From about 1909 the site held an armory, which was damaged by fire in 1962.
The land was taken over by the city in 1968, and the remnant of the armory was razed.
In 1970 the land passed to park usage.
The resulting Market Park was majorly redesigned in 1982.
After Steinbrueck's 1985 death, it was renamed after the architect who was instrumental in the market's preservation.

Section: Economy

Question: What city is the largest financial center in Europe?

England's economy is one of the largest in the world, with an average GDP per capita of £22,907.
Usually regarded as a mixed market economy, it has adopted many free market principles, yet maintains an advanced social welfare infrastructure.
The official currency in England is the pound sterling, whose ISO 4217 code is GBP.
Taxation in England is quite competitive when compared to much of the rest of Europe—as of 2009 the basic rate of personal tax is 20% on taxable income up to £37,400, and 40% on any additional earnings above that amount.
The economy of England is the largest part of the UK's economy, which has the 18th highest GDP PPP per capita in the world.
England is a leader in the chemical and pharmaceutical sectors and in key technical industries, particularly aerospace, the arms industry, and the manufacturing side of the software industry.
London, home to the London Stock Exchange, the United Kingdom's main stock exchange and the largest in Europe, is England's financial centre—100 of Europe's 500 largest corporations are based in London.
London is the largest financial centre in Europe, and is also the largest in the world.
The Bank of England, founded in 1694 by Scottish banker William Paterson, is the United Kingdom's central bank.
Originally established as private banker to the Government of England, since 1946 it has been a state-owned institution.
The Bank has a monopoly on the issue of banknotes in England and Wales, although not in other parts of the United Kingdom.
The government has devolved responsibility to the Bank's Monetary Policy Committee for managing the monetary policy of the country and setting interest rates.
England is highly industrialised, but since the 1970s there has been a decline in traditional heavy and manufacturing industries, and an increasing emphasis on a more service industry oriented economy.
Tourism has become a significant industry, attracting millions of visitors to England each year.
The export part of the economy is dominated by pharmaceuticals, cars—although many English marques are now foreign-owned, such as Rolls-Royce, Lotus, Jaguar and Bentley—crude oil and petroleum from the English parts of North Sea oil along with Wytch Farm, aircraft engines and alcoholic beverages.
Agriculture is intensive and highly mechanised, producing 60% of food needs with only 2% of the labour force.
Two thirds of production is devoted to livestock, the other to arable crops.
