Problem: Still trying to get their first win of the year, the Rams came home for their Week 8 interconference duel with the Cleveland Browns. In the first quarter, RB Steven Jackson (in his first game back from a groin injury) helped St. Louis off to an early start with a 2-yard TD run. Afterwards, the Rams added onto their score with QB Marc Bulger completing a 1-yard TD pass to WR Torry Holt. The Browns would get on the board with kicker Phil Dawson getting a 35-yard field goal. In the second quarter, St. Louis' struggles continued as Cleveland took the lead with QB Derek Anderson completing a 12-yard TD pass to WR Braylon Edwards and a 21-yard TD pass to TE Kellen Winslow. The Rams' remaining response of the half was kicker Jeff Wilkins getting a 40-yard field goal. In the third quarter, St. Louis continued to strain itself as Anderson and Edwards hooked up again to give the Browns a 5-yard TD pass. The Rams tried to come back as Wilkins kicked a 46-yard field goal. Unfortunately, St. Louis once again fell as Dawson nailed a 45-yard field goal for Cleveland. With the loss, not only did the Rams enter their bye week at 0-8, but they became the first team since the 2001 Detroit Lions to begin a season 0-8 after finishing the previous season at .500 or better.

How many field goals were kicked by the Rams?
Answer: 2

Q: The historic Cornish Stannary Parliament last assembled at Truro in 1752, and continued until 11 September 1753. The RCSP formed in 1974 claims continuity from the historic parliament on the grounds that the English legal system does not recognise desuetude , and cites the precedent of the Court of Chivalry, which sat in 1952 for the first time in over 200 years. Their contention is that the Stannary Parliament, whilst not in session, still exists. They also point to the fact that the 1508 Charter of Pardon from which the historic parliament derived its powers, was confirmed as still being on the statute books in 1977. The British government rejects the claims of the group. In March 2007, Bridget Prentice, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State in the Ministry of Justice stated in a written answer in the House of Commons "...there are no valid Cornish stannary organisations in existence.", "There are no treaties today that apply to Cornwall only..." and that " There is no special status for legislation which applies to Cornwall or to Cornish localities." This was also confirmed in a reply to a question posed by the MP Andrew George in May 2009.
How many years was it between the Cornish Stannary Parliament's last assembly and it's ending?
A: 1

Problem: Following a terrible loss to the Browns, the Steelers returned home for a duel against the Texans on Monday Night Football. The Texans started out strong when Ryan Fitzpatrick found Alfred Blue on an 11-yard pass for a 7-0 lead and the only score of the first quarter. In the 2nd quarter, the Texans increased their lead as Randy Bullock nailed 2 field goals from 39 and 38 yards out for 10-0 and 13-0 leads. The Steelers finally got on the board and scored 24 unanswered points: first starting with Shaun Suisham who nailed a 44-yard field goal for a 13-3 game followed up by Ben Roethlisberger finding Martavis Bryant on a 35-yard TD pass for a 13-10 game and eventually took the lead on Antonio Brown's 1-yard TD pass to Lance Moore 17-13 and lastly Roethlisberger hooking up with Le'Veon Bell on a 2-yard TD pass for a 24-13 halftime lead. After a scoreless 3rd quarter, the Texans came within 8 as Bullock kicked a 31-yard field goal for a 24-16 game not long before the Steelers responded with 2 of their own from Suisham when he got them from 30 and 40 yards out for leads of 27-16 and 30-16. Finally, Fitzpatrick was able to find Arian Foster on a 1-yard TD pass and this led to the final score of 30-23.

Question:
With the rapid growth and consolidation of large railroad systems after 1870, union organizations sprang up, covering the entire nation. By 1901, 17 major railway brotherhoods were in operation; they generally worked amicably with management, which recognized their usefulness. Key unions included the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers , Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Division , the Order of Railway Conductors, the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, and the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen. Their main goal was building insurance and medical packages for their members, and negotiating bureaucratic work rules that favored their membership, such as seniority and grievance procedures. They were not members of the AFL, and fought off more radical rivals such as the Knights of Labor in the 1880s and the American Railroad Union in the 1890s. They consolidated their power in 1916, after threatening a national strike, by securing the Adamson Act, a federal law that provided 10 hours pay for an eight-hour day. At the end of World War I they promoted nationalization of the railroads, and conducted a national strike in 1919. Both programs failed, and the brotherhoods were largely stagnant in the 1920s. They generally were independent politically, but supported the third party campaign of Robert M. La Follette Sr. in 1924.

How many more hours was someone mandated to be paid for under the Adamson Act if they worked 8 hours a day?

Answer:
2

question: During the civil war, and the ensuing SovietAfghan War, most of the countrys infrastructure was destroyed, and normal patterns of economic activity were disrupted. The gross national product (GNP) fell substantially during Karmals rule because of the conflict; trade and transport were disrupted along with the loss of labor and capital.
