572e8f7803f98919007567a1 | question: What is speed limit for railways ? context: Railways must operate at variable speeds . Until the mid 1980s this was only practical with the brush - type DC motor , although such DC can be supplied from an AC catenary via on - board electric power conversion . Since such conversion was not well developed in the late 19th century and early 20th century , most early electrified railways used DC and many still do , particularly rapid transit ( subways ) and trams . Speed was controlled by connecting the traction motors in various series - parallel combinations , by varying the traction motors ' fields , and by inserting and removing starting resistances to limit motor current . | variable speeds |

57270a05708984140094d8e7 | question: What is it called when a changing electric field existing between the conductive plates of a capacitor physically moves them ? context: Capacitors , especially ceramic capacitors , and older designs such as paper capacitors , can absorb sound waves resulting in a microphonic effect . Vibration moves the plates , causing the capacitance to vary , in turn inducing AC current . Some dielectrics also generate piezoelectricity . The resulting interference is especially problematic in audio applications , potentially causing feedback or unintended recording . In the reverse microphonic effect , the varying electric field between the capacitor plates exerts a physical force , moving them as a speaker . This can generate audible sound , but drains energy and stresses the dielectric and the electrolyte , if any . | the reverse microphonic effect |

56e4cdc339bdeb14003479d9 | question: What two architectural movements have come under criticism for their focus on individuality ? context: Since the 1980s , as the complexity of buildings began to increase ( in terms of structural systems , services , energy and technologies ) , the field of architecture became multi - disciplinary with specializations for each project type , technological expertise or project delivery methods . In addition , there has been an increased separation of the ' design ' architect [ Notes 1 ] from the ' project ' architect who ensures that the project meets the required standards and deals with matters of liability . [ Notes 2 ] The preparatory processes for the design of any large building have become increasingly complicated , and require preliminary studies of such matters as durability , sustainability , quality , money , and compliance with local laws . A large structure can no longer be the design of one person but must be the work of many . Modernism and Postmodernism have been criticised by some members of the architectural profession who feel that successful architecture is not a personal , philosophical , or aesthetic pursuit by individualists ; rather it has to consider everyday needs of people and use technology to create liveable environments , with the design process being informed by studies of behavioral , environmental , and social sciences . | Modernism and Postmodernism |

The long military campaigns had forced citizens to leave their farms to fight , while their farms fell into disrepair . The landed aristocracy began buying bankrupted farms at discounted prices . As commodity prices fell , many farmers could no longer operate their farms at a profit . The result was the ultimate bankruptcy of countless farmers . Masses of unemployed plebeians soon began to flood into Rome , and thus into the ranks of the legislative assemblies . Their poverty usually led them to vote for the candidate who offered them the most . A new culture of dependency was emerging , in which citizens would look to any populist leader for relief . | offered them the most |

57318c5c497a88190024900f | question: Who claimed to have murdered Gaddafi ? context: A Misratan militia took Gaddafi prisoner , beating him , causing serious injuries ; the events were filmed on a mobile phone . A video appears to picture Gaddafi being poked or stabbed in the rear end " with some kind of stick or knife " or possibly a bayonet . Pulled onto the front of a pick - up truck , he fell off as it drove away . His semi - naked , lifeless body was then placed into an ambulance and taken to Misrata ; upon arrival , he was found to be dead . Official NTC accounts claimed that Gaddafi was caught in a cross - fire and died from his bullet wounds . Other eye - witness accounts claimed that rebels had fatally shot Gaddafi in the stomach ; a rebel identifying himself as Senad el - Sadik el - Ureybi later claimed responsibility . Gaddafi ' s son Mutassim , who had also been among the convoy , was also captured , and found dead several hours later , most probably from an extrajudicial execution . Around 140 Gaddafi loyalists were rounded up from the convoy ; tied up and abused , the corpses of 66 were found at the nearby Mahari Hotel , victims of extrajudicial execution . Libya ' s chief forensic pathologist , Dr . Othman al - Zintani , carried out the autopsies of Gaddafi , his son and Jabr in the days following their deaths ; although the pathologist initially told the press that Gaddafi had died from a gunshot wound to the head , the autopsy report was not made public . | Senad el - Sadik el - Ureybi |
572ed00ac246551400ce46ce | question: After all cars go to the lobby , what is the next step ? context: When power is lost in a traction elevator system , all elevators will initially come to a halt . One by one , each car in the group will return to the lobby floor , open its doors and shut down . People in the remaining elevators may see an indicator light or hear a voice announcement informing them that the elevator will return to the lobby shortly . Once all cars have successfully returned , the system will then automatically select one or more cars to be used for normal operations and these cars will return to service . The car ( s ) selected to run under emergency power can be manually overridden by a key or strip switch in the lobby . In order to help prevent entrapment , when the system detects that it is running low on power , it will bring the running cars to the lobby or nearest floor , open the doors and shut down . | the system will then automatically select one or more cars to be used for normal operations and these cars will return to service |
5726b49d708984140094ce6d | question: Why did Coe donate to American studies programs ? context: The American studies program reflected the worldwide anti - Communist ideological struggle .

5727a440ff5b5019007d91bb | question: What did parents do when the wages were finally raised ? context: According to Milton Friedman , before the Industrial Revolution virtually all children worked in agriculture . During the Industrial Revolution many of these children moved from farm work to factory work . Over time , as real wages rose , parents became able to afford to send their children to school instead of work and as a result child labour declined , both before and after legislation . Austrian School economist Murray Rothbard said that British and American children of the pre - and post - Industrial Revolution lived and suffered in infinitely worse conditions where jobs were not available for them and went " voluntarily and gladly " to work in factories . | send their children to school instead of work |
5733e26ad058e614000b64ba | question: What do many characterize the new perspective as being more informed with ? context: Environmental anthropology is a sub - specialty within the field of anthropology that takes an active role in examining the relationships between humans and their environment across space and time . The contemporary perspective of environmental anthropology , and arguably at least the backdrop , if not the focus of most of the ethnographies and cultural fieldworks of today , is political ecology . Many characterize this new perspective as more informed with culture , politics and power , globalization , localized issues , and more . The focus and data interpretation is often used for arguments for / against or creation of policy , and to prevent corporate exploitation and damage of land . Often , the observer has become an active part of the struggle either directly ( organizing , participation ) or indirectly ( articles , documentaries , books , ethnographies ) . Such is the case with environmental justice advocate Melissa Checker and her relationship with the people of Hyde Park . | culture , politics and power , globalization , localized issues , and more . |
57094ba9efce8f15003a7dce | question: The sand and clay deposited onto decaying marine matter transformed into what ? context: Underpinning Houston ' s land surface are unconsolidated clays , clay shales , and poorly cemented sands up to several miles deep . The region ' s geology developed from river deposits formed from the erosion of the Rocky Mountains . These sediments consist of a series of sands and clays deposited on decaying organic marine matter , that over time , transformed into oil and natural gas . Beneath the layers of sediment is a water - deposited layer of halite , a rock salt . The porous layers were compressed over time and forced upward . As it pushed upward , the salt dragged surrounding sediments into salt dome formations , often trapping oil and gas that seeped from the surrounding porous sands . The thick , rich , sometimes black , surface soil is suitable for rice farming in suburban outskirts where the city continues to grow . | oil and natural gas |

572ed854dfa6aa1500f8d444 | question: What was done to the Quranic text early in its history leaving few markedly different variants ? context: The Quran most likely existed in scattered written form during Muhammad ' s lifetime . Several sources indicate that during Muhammad ' s lifetime a large number of his companions had memorized the revelations . Early commentaries and Islamic historical sources support the above - mentioned understanding of the Quran ' s early development . The Quran in its present form is generally considered by academic scholars to record the words spoken by Muhammad because the search for variants has not yielded any differences of great significance . [ page needed ] University of Chicago professor Fred Donner states that " . . . there was a very early attempt to establish a uniform consonantal text of the Qur ʾ ā n from what was probably a wider and more varied group of related texts in early transmission . [ . . . ] After the creation of this standardized canonical text , earlier authoritative texts were suppressed , and all extant manuscripts — despite their numerous variants — seem to date to a time after this standard consonantal text was established . " Although most variant readings of the text of the Quran have ceased to be transmitted , some still are . There has been no critical text produced on which a scholarly reconstruction of the Quranic text could be based . Historically , controversy over the Quran ' s content has rarely become an issue , although debates continue on the subject . | standardized |
572ecc82c246551400ce46a8 | question: What happened to Frederick ' s army at the Battle at Kunersdorf ? context: The year 1759 saw several Prussian defeats . At the Battle of Kay , or Paltzig , the Russian Count Saltykov with 47 , 000 Russians defeated 26 , 000 Prussians commanded by General Carl Heinrich von Wedel . Though the Hanoverians defeated an army of 60 , 000 French at Minden , Austrian general Daun forced the surrender of an entire Prussian corps of 13 , 000 in the Battle of Maxen . Frederick himself lost half his army in the Battle of Kunersdorf ( now Kunowice Poland ) , the worst defeat in his military career and one that drove him to the brink of abdication and thoughts of suicide . The disaster resulted partly from his misjudgment of the Russians , who had already demonstrated their strength at Zorndorf and at Gross - J ä gersdorf ( now Motornoye , Russia ) , and partly from good cooperation between the Russian and Austrian forces . | Frederick himself lost half his army |
56dfb0e97aa994140058dfe7 | question: What did Bell think was wrong with the bed , which prevented his machine from finding the bullet ? context: Bell is also credited with developing one of the early versions of a metal detector in 1881 . The device was quickly put together in an attempt to find the bullet in the body of U . S . President James Garfield . According to some accounts , the metal detector worked flawlessly in tests but did not find the assassin ' s bullet partly because the metal bed frame on which the President was lying disturbed the instrument , resulting in static . The president ' s surgeons , who were skeptical of the device , ignored Bell ' s requests to move the president to a bed not fitted with metal springs . Alternatively , although Bell had detected a slight sound on his first test , the bullet may have been lodged too deeply to be detected by the crude apparatus . | metal bed frame |
5726893c5951b619008f7627 | question: What did a picture of Scargill have him appear to be doing ? context: The Sun , during the Miners ' strike of 1984 – 85 , supported the police and the Thatcher government against the striking NUM miners , and in particular the union ' s president , Arthur Scargill .

The print workers at The Sun refused to print it . The Sun strongly supported the April 1986 bombing of Libya by the US , which was launched from British bases . Several civilians were killed during the bombing . Their leader was " Right Ron , Right Maggie " . That year , Labour MP Clare Short attempted in vain to persuade Parliament to outlaw the pictures on Page Three and gained opprobrium from the newspaper for her stand . | giving a Nazi salute |
570de8a70b85d914000d7bb1 | question: Did adolescents report more sexual or social events to researchers ? context: Some researchers are now focusing on learning about how adolescents view their own relationships and sexuality ; they want to move away from a research point of view that focuses on the problems associated with adolescent sexuality . [ why ? ] College Professor Lucia O ' Sullivan and her colleagues found that there weren ' t any significant gender differences in the relationship events adolescent boys and girls from grades 7 - 12 reported . Most teens said they had kissed their partners , held hands with them , thought of themselves as being a couple and told people they were in a relationship . This means that private thoughts about the relationship as well as public recognition of the relationship were both important to the adolescents in the sample . Sexual events ( such as sexual touching , sexual intercourse ) were less common than romantic events ( holding hands ) and social events ( being with one ' s partner in a group setting ) . The researchers state that these results are important because the results focus on the more positive aspects of adolescents and their social and romantic interactions rather than focusing on sexual behavior and its consequences . | social events |
573076f78ab72b1400f9c514 | question: Who is the mayor of Tirana ? context: Albania has often been called the 51st state for its perceived strongly pro - American positions , mainly because of the United States ' policies towards it . In reference to President George W . Bush ' s 2007 European tour , Edi Rama , Tirana ' s mayor and leader of the opposition Socialists , said : " Albania is for sure the most pro - American country in Europe , maybe even in the world . . . Nowhere else can you find such respect and hospitality for the President of the United States . Even in Michigan , he wouldn ' t be as welcome . " At the time of ex - Secretary of State James Baker ' s visit in 1992 , there was even a move to hold a referendum declaring the country as the 51st American state . In addition to Albania , Kosovo which is predominately Albanian is seen as a 51st state due to the heavily presence and influence of the United States . The US has had troops and the largest base outside US territory , Camp Bondsteel in the territory since 1999 . | Edi Rama , |
5726f540f1498d1400e8f0f6 | question: What form of attack was an effective measure of slowing Korean armor ? context: The initial assault by North Korean KPA forces were aided by the use of Soviet T - 34 - 85 tanks . A North Korean tank corps equipped with about 120 T - 34s spearheaded the invasion . These drove against a ROK Army with few anti - tank weapons adequate to deal with the Soviet T - 34s . Additional Soviet armor was added as the offensive progressed . The North Korean tanks had a good deal of early successes against South Korean infantry , elements of the 24th Infantry Division , and those United States built M24 Chaffee light tanks that they encountered . Interdiction by ground attack aircraft was the only means of slowing the advancing Korean armor . The tide turned in favour of the United Nations forces in August 1950 when the North Koreans suffered major tank losses during a series of battles in which the UN forces brought heavier equipment to bear , including M4A3 Sherman medium tanks backed by U . S . M26 heavy tanks , along with the British Centurion , Churchill , and Cromwell tanks . | ground attack aircraft |
56d265eb59d6e41400145f6a | question: Was is the earliest phase of buddhism ? context: Pre - sectarian Buddhism is the earliest phase of Buddhism , recognized by nearly all scholars .

Russia reached the Pacific coast in 1647 and consolidated its control over the Russian Far East in the 19th century . | Aztec Empire |
5730d135b54a4f140068cc8a | question: What ensures the safety of nuclear operations ? context: Nuclear surety ensures the safety , security and effectiveness of nuclear operations . Because of their political and military importance , destructive power , and the potential consequences of an accident or unauthorized act , nuclear weapons and nuclear weapon systems require special consideration and protection against risks and threats inherent in their peacetime and wartime environments . The Air Force , in conjunction with other entities within the Departments of Defense or Energy , achieves a high standard of protection through a stringent nuclear surety program . This program applies to materiel , personnel , and procedures that contribute to the safety , security , and control of nuclear weapons , thus assuring no nuclear accidents , incidents , loss , or unauthorized or accidental use ( a Broken Arrow incident ) . The Air Force continues to pursue safe , secure and effective nuclear weapons consistent with operational requirements . Adversaries , allies , and the American people must be highly confident of the Air Force ' s ability to secure nuclear weapons from accidents , theft , loss , and accidental or unauthorized use . This day - to - day commitment to precise and reliable nuclear operations is the cornerstone of the credibility of the NDO mission . Positive nuclear command , control , communications ; effective nuclear weapons security ; and robust combat support are essential to the overall NDO function . | Nuclear surety |
5726e200708984140094d4ab | question: Who said that Napoleon ' s presence on the battlefield was worth 40 , 000 soldiers ? context: In terms of impact on events , it was more than Napoleon ' s personality that took effect . He reorganized France itself to supply the men and money needed for great wars . Above all he inspired his men — Wellington said his presence on the battlefield was worth 40 , 000 soldiers , for he inspired confidence from privates to field marshals . He also unnerved the enemy . At the Battle of Auerstadt in 1806 , King Frederick William III of Prussia outnumbered the French by 63 , 000 to 27 , 000 ; however , when he mistakenly was told that Napoleon was in command , he ordered a hasty retreat that turned into a rout . The force of his personality neutralized material difficulties as his soldiers fought with the confidence that with Napoleon in charge they would surely win . | Wellington |
56f8aa0d9b226e1400dd0d99 | question: Going by what unit of measurement makes Southampton the fourth largest port in the UK ? context: Southampton has always been a port , and the docks have long been a major employer in the city . In particular , it is a port for cruise ships ; its heyday was the first half of the 20th century , and in particular the inter - war years , when it handled almost half the passenger traffic of the UK . Today it remains home to luxury cruise ships , as well as being the largest freight port on the Channel coast and fourth largest UK port by tonnage , with several container terminals . Unlike some other ports , such as Liverpool , London , and Bristol , where industry and docks have largely moved out of the city centres leaving room for redevelopment , Southampton retains much of its inner - city industry . Despite the still active and expanding docklands to the west of the city centre , further enhanced with the opening of a fourth cruise terminal in 2009 , parts of the eastern docks have been redeveloped ; the Ocean Village development , which included a local marina and small entertainment complex , is a good example . Southampton is home to the headquarters of both the Maritime and Coastguard Agency and the Marine Accident Investigation Branch of the Department for Transport in addition to cruise operator Carnival UK . | tonnage |

57260f4389a1e219009ac1aa | question: Whose book entitled Physiology of Heat Regulation and The Science of Clothing was published in 1949 ? context: Although dissertations on clothing and its function appear from the 19th century as colonising countries dealt with new environments , concerted scientific research into psycho - social , physiological and other functions of clothing ( e . g . protective , cartage ) occurred in the first half of the 20th century , with publications such as J . C . Fl ü gel ' s Psychology of Clothes in 1930 , and Newburgh ' s seminal Physiology of Heat Regulation and The Science of Clothing in 1949 . By 1968 , the field of environmental physiology had advanced and expanded significantly , but the science of clothing in relation to environmental physiology had changed little . While considerable research has since occurred and the knowledge - base has grown significantly , the main concepts remain unchanged , and indeed Newburgh ' s book is still cited by contemporary authors , including those attempting to develop thermoregulatory models of clothing development . | Newburgh ' s |
5727b0db2ca10214002d93f0 | question: As a result , what became the religion of Galician society ? context: Later the Muslims invaded Spain ( 711 ) , but the Arabs and Moors never managed to have any real control over Galicia , which was later incorporated into the expanding Christian Kingdom of Asturias , usually known as Gallaecia or Galicia ( Yill ī qiya and Gal ī siya ) by Muslim Chroniclers , as well as by many European contemporaries . This era consolidated Galicia as a Christian society which spoke a Romance language . During the next century Galician noblemen took northern Portugal , conquering Coimbra in 871 , thus freeing what were considered the southernmost city of ancient Galicia . | Christian |
56f8de279e9bad19000a062c | question: What sort of variants did the Human Genome Project indicate that many of the measured transcripts were ? context: Although the number of base - pairs of DNA in the human genome has been known since the 1960s , the estimated number of genes has changed over time as definitions of genes , and methods of detecting them have been refined . Initial theoretical predictions of the number of human genes were as high as 2 , 000 , 000 . Early experimental measures indicated there to be 50 , 000 – 100 , 000 transcribed genes ( expressed sequence tags ) . Subsequently , the sequencing in the Human Genome Project indicated that many of these transcripts were alternative variants of the same genes , and the total number of protein - coding genes was revised down to ~ 20 , 000 with 13 genes encoded on the mitochondrial genome . Of the human genome , only 1 – 2 % consists of protein - coding genes , with the remainder being ' noncoding ' DNA such as introns , retrotransposons , and noncoding RNAs . | alternative variants |
5727e25f3acd2414000deefa | question: what is another name for a low - surrogate code point ? context: Code points in the range U + D800 – U + DBFF ( 1 , 024 code points ) are known as high - surrogate code points , and code points in the range U + DC00 – U + DFFF ( 1 , 024 code points ) are known as low - surrogate code points . A high - surrogate code point ( also known as a leading surrogate ) followed by a low - surrogate code point ( also known as a trailing surrogate ) together form a surrogate pair used in UTF - 16 to represent 1 , 048 , 576 code points outside BMP . High and low surrogate code points are not valid by themselves . Thus the range of code points that are available for use as characters is U + 0000 – U + D7FF and U + E000 – U + 10FFFF ( 1 , 112 , 064 code points ) . The value of these code points ( i . e . , excluding surrogates ) is sometimes referred to as the character ' s scalar value . | trailing surrogate |
571ae22232177014007e9f8e | question: What did Liberius have to promise to do in order to return ? context: Constantius , ordered Liberius into exile in 356 giving him , then , three days to comply . He was ordered into banishment to Beroea , in Thrace ; Beroea ( Thrace ) . He sent expensive presents , too , if he were to accept the Arian position but were refused . He sent him , indeed , five hundred pieces of gold " to bear his charges " but Liberius refused them , saying , he might bestow them on his flatters ; as he did also a like present from the empress , bidding the messenger learn to believe in Christ , and not to persecute the Church of God . Attempts were made to leave the presents in The Church , but Liberius threw them out . Constantius hereupon sent for him under a strict guard to Milan , where , in a conference recorded by Theodoret , he boldly told Constantius that Athanasius had been acquitted at Sardica , and his enemies proved calumniators ( see : " calumny " ) and impostors , and that it was unjust to condemn a person who could not be legally convicted of any crime . The emperor was reduced to silence on every article , but being the more out of patience , ordered him into banishment . Liberius went into exile . Constantius , after two years went to Rome to celebrate the twentieth year of his reign . The ladies joined in a petition to him that he would restore Liberius . He assented , upon condition that he should comply with the bishops , then , at court . He subscribed the condemnation of Athanasius , and a confession or creed which had been framed by the Arians at Sirmium . And he no sooner had recovered his see that he declared himself for the Creed of Niceae , as Theodoret testifies . ( Theodoret , Hist . lib . ii . c . 17 . ) . The Emperor knew what he wanted people to believe . So did the bishops at his court . Athanasius stuck by the orthodox creed . Constantius was an avowed Arian , became sole ruler in 350 , at the death of his brother , Constans . | comply with the bishops |

572e8d3edfa6aa1500f8d10b | question: Who drew Neptune after observing it with a telescope ? context: Some of the earliest recorded observations ever made through a telescope , Galileo ' s drawings on 28 December 1612 and 27 January 1613 , contain plotted points that match up with what is now known to be the position of Neptune . On both occasions , Galileo seems to have mistaken Neptune for a fixed star when it appeared close — in conjunction — to Jupiter in the night sky ; hence , he is not credited with Neptune ' s discovery . At his first observation in December 1612 , Neptune was almost stationary in the sky because it had just turned retrograde that day . This apparent backward motion is created when Earth ' s orbit takes it past an outer planet . Because Neptune was only beginning its yearly retrograde cycle , the motion of the planet was far too slight to be detected with Galileo ' s small telescope . In July 2009 , University of Melbourne physicist David Jamieson announced new evidence suggesting that Galileo was at least aware that the ' star ' he had observed had moved relative to the fixed stars . | Galileo |
5730f3cae6313a140071caec | question: How are ' dental ' sounds pronounced ? context: Russian is notable for its distinction based on palatalization of most of the consonants . While / k / , / ɡ / , / x / do have palatalized allophones [ k ʲ , ɡ ʲ , x ʲ ] , only / k ʲ / might be considered a phoneme , though it is marginal and generally not considered distinctive ( the only native minimal pair which argues for / k ʲ / to be a separate phoneme is " э т о т к ё т " ( [ ˈ ɛ t ə tk ʲ ɵ t ] , ' it weaves ' ) / " э т о т к о т " ( [ ˈ ɛ t ə t kot ] , ' this cat ' ) ) . Palatalization means that the center of the tongue is raised during and after the articulation of the consonant . In the case of / t ʲ / and / d ʲ / , the tongue is raised enough to produce slight frication ( affricate sounds ) . These sounds : / t , d , ts , s , z , n and r ʲ / are dental , that is pronounced with the tip of the tongue against the teeth rather than against the alveolar ridge . | with the tip of the tongue against the teeth rather than against the alveolar ridge |
572814623acd2414000df3f7 | question: How many museums does the Palais Rohan hold ? context: The German Renaissance has bequeathed the city some noteworthy buildings ( especially the current Chambre de commerce et d ' industrie , former town hall , on Place Gutenberg ) , as did the French Baroque and Classicism with several h ô tels particuliers ( i . e . palaces ) , among which the Palais Rohan ( 1742 , now housing three museums ) is the most spectacular . Other buildings of its kind are the " H ô tel de Hanau " ( 1736 , now the city hall ) , the H ô tel de Klinglin ( 1736 , now residence of the pr é fet ) , the H ô tel des Deux - Ponts ( 1755 , now residence of the military governor ) , the H ô tel d ' Andlau - Klinglin ( 1725 , now seat of the administration of the Port autonome de Strasbourg ) etc . The largest baroque building of Strasbourg though is the 150 m ( 490 ft ) long 1720s main building of the H ô pital civil . As for French Neo - classicism , it is the Opera House on Place Broglie that most prestigiously represents this style . | three |
570c539bb3d812140066d10f | question: Who captured Richard ? context: The political turmoil continued . John began to explore an alliance with the French king Philip II , freshly returned from the crusade . John hoped to acquire Normandy , Anjou and the other lands in France held by Richard in exchange for allying himself with Philip . John was persuaded not to pursue an alliance by his mother . Longchamp , who had left England after Walter ' s intervention , now returned , and argued that he had been wrongly removed as justiciar . John intervened , suppressing Longchamp ' s claims in return for promises of support from the royal administration , including a reaffirmation of his position as heir to the throne . When Richard still did not return from the crusade , John began to assert that his brother was dead or otherwise permanently lost . Richard had in fact been captured en route to England by the Duke of Austria and was handed over to Emperor Henry VI , who held him for ransom . John seized the opportunity and went to Paris , where he formed an alliance with Philip . He agreed to set aside his wife , Isabella of Gloucester , and marry Philip ' s sister , Alys , in exchange for Philip ' s support . Fighting broke out in England between forces loyal to Richard and those being gathered by John . John ' s military position was weak and he agreed to a truce ; in early 1194 the king finally returned to England , and John ' s remaining forces surrendered . John retreated to Normandy , where Richard finally found him later that year . Richard declared that his younger brother – despite being 27 years old – was merely " a child who has had evil counsellors " and forgave him , but removed his lands with the exception of Ireland . | Duke of Austria |
570c98ccfed7b91900d45a11 | question: What did the club membership grow to by 2009 ? context: The nickname cul é for a Barcelona supporter is derived from the Catalan cul ( English : arse ) , as the spectators at the first stadium , Camp de la Ind ú stria , sat with their culs over the stand . In Spain , about 25 % of the population is said to be Bar ç a sympathisers , second behind Real Madrid , supported by 32 % of the population .

She collaborated with electronica producer William Orbit and wanted to create a sound that could blend dance music with pop and British rock . American music critic Ann Powers explained that what Madonna searched for with Orbit " was a kind of a lushness that she wanted for this record . Techno and rave was happening in the 90 ' s and had a lot of different forms . There was very experimental , more hard stuff like Aphex Twin . There was party stuff like Fatboy Slim . That ' s not what Madonna wanted for this . She wanted something more like a singer - songwriter , really . And William Orbit provided her with that . " | 1998 |
