Passage: The Lost Princess of Oz is the eleventh canonical Oz book written by L. Frank Baum. Published on June 5, 1917, it begins with the disappearance of Princess Ozma, the ruler of Oz and covers Dorothy and the Wizard's efforts to find her. The introduction to the book states that its inspiration was a letter a little girl had written to Baum: "I suppose if Ozma ever got hurt or losted, everybody would be sorry."
Title: Land of Ev
Passage: The Land of Ev is a fictional country in the Oz books of L. Frank Baum and his successors. Its exact location is unclear between text and maps. " The Road to Oz" states that Ev is to the north of the Land of Oz, and in "Ozma of Oz", Princess Ozma of Oz and her procession enter the Munchkin Country and meet the King of the Munchkins upon leaving the palace at Evna, the capital city. Subsequent books place Ev nearer to the Winkie Country, and the map on the endpapers of "Tik-Tok of Oz" shows the Munchkin Country as having no northern border with the desert that surrounds Oz, as a thin strip of the Gillikin Country extends even farther east than most of the Munchkin Country. This map depicts Ev as a small country to the northwest (the compass rose is reversed) of Oz, with the Dominions of the Nome King as a separate area. James E. Haff and Dick Martin's map, following the text, place the Nome Kingdom under an Ev that takes up the entire portion allotted to the Nome King's dominions on Baum's map.

|
Title: Jayson Tatum
Passage: Jayson Christopher Tatum (born March 3, 1998) is an American professional basketball player for the Boston Celtics of the National Basketball Association. A native of St. Louis, Missouri, Tatum attended Chaminade, where he rated as five-star recruit and regarded as one of the top players in the Class of 2016 by most recruiting services. After playing basketball with the Duke Blue Devils men's basketball team in 20162017, Tatum declared himself eligible for the 2017 NBA draft and was selected with the third overall pick by the Boston Celtics.
Title: 201516 Philadelphia 76ers season
Passage: The 201516 Philadelphia 76ers season was the 77th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). It was also the second straight season that Joel Embiid, their third pick in the 2014 NBA draft, would not suit up for the 76ers due to a leg injury. Philadelphia broke the record for the longest losing streak in American professional sports history with 27 straight losses over this season and last season with a 114116 loss to the Houston Rockets. The losing streak would reach to 28 games (with the 18 straight losses tying the record for longest opening season losing streak with the 200910 New Jersey Nets) before getting their first victory at home against the Los Angeles Lakers, which was also Kobe Bryant's last game against the 76ers in Philadelphia. Philadelphia would also hire former Phoenix Suns owner, coach, general manager, and four-time NBA Executive of the Year winner Jerry Colangelo on December 7, 2015 as their Chairman of Basketball Operations. Eleven days later, former Denver Nuggets, Phoenix Suns, New York Knicks, and Los Angeles Lakers head coach Mike D'Antoni would join the team as an associate head coach. Near the end of the season, general manager Sam Hinkie would announce his resignation from his position, being replaced by Jerry's son Bryan Colangelo before the end of the season. Jerry would also announce his personal demotion from his original position afterwards. They finished just one game shy of tying the NBA record for most losses in a season set by themselves during their 197273 season when they went 973. However, it would be the season where Sam Hinkie's goal of "The Process" came into full fruition since they'd later earn the 1 selection in the 2016 NBA draft.
Title: 201718 Philadelphia 76ers season
Passage: The 201718 Philadelphia 76ers season will be the 79th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The 201718 76ers season will likely be the first time where their franchise's young core would play together with players like Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons, Dario Saric, Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot, and newly drafted point guard, Markelle Fultz with leading the way moving forward. Furthermore, during the 201617 season, the club was plagued with injury with Ben Simmons, Jahlil Okafor, Jerryd Bayless, Joel Embiid and Robert Covington. All five of them missed significant time. They would wind up acquiring the 1 pick again, this time being point guard Markelle Fultz from the Boston Celtics on June 19, four days before the 2017 NBA Draft began in exchange for their 3 pick this year (which was Jayson Tatum) and another first round pick moving forward. During the 201718 campaign, the Sixers look to build young core and have more of a legitimate change to a playoff run since Sam Hinkie's infamous tanking method.

Who is the secretary of a business-oriented American lobbying group that is not an agency of the United States government?
|
Title: United States Chamber of Commerce
Passage: The United States Chamber of Commerce (USCC) is a business-oriented American lobbying group. It is not an agency of the United States government.
Title: Lobbying in the United States
Passage: Lobbying in the United States describes paid activity in which special interests hire well-connected professional advocates, often lawyers, to argue for specific legislation in decision-making bodies such as the United States Congress. It is a highly controversial phenomenon, often seen in a negative light by journalists and the American public, with some critics describing it as a legal form of bribery or extortion. While lobbying is subject to extensive and often complex rules which, if not followed, can lead to penalties including jail, the activity of lobbying has been interpreted by court rulings as constitutionally protected free speech and a way to petition the government for the redress of grievances, two of the freedoms protected by the First Amendment of the Constitution. Since the 1970s, lobbying activity has grown immensely in the United States in terms of the numbers of lobbyists and the size of lobbying budgets, and has become the focus of much criticism of American governance. It is possible for foreign nations to hire American lobbyists to influence the foreign policy of the United States; for example, in 2016, Taiwanese officials hired American senator-turned-lobbyist Bob Dole to set up a controversial phone call between president-elect Donald Trump and Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-Wen, a move marking a shift in US foreign policy.

|
Title: V.L. v. E.L.
Passage: V.L. v. E.L., 577 U.S. (2016) , is a case decided by the Supreme Court of the United States concerning the adoption rights of same-sex couples. In 2007, a Georgia Superior Court granted adoption rights to V.L., the partner of E.L., the woman who gave birth to their three children. However, after moving back to Alabama, the couple split up. E.L. tried to block V.L. from seeing the children, but V.L. filed a lawsuit seeking visitation and other parental rights. On September 18, 2015, the Supreme Court of Alabama ruled that the state did not have to recognize the adoption judgment, saying that the Georgia court misapplied its own state law. The court voided the recognition of the adoption judgment in Alabama. V.L. petitioned the United States Supreme Court to stay the ruling during her appeal and allow her to see her children. On December 14, 2015, the Supreme Court stayed the ruling pending their action on a petition for a writ of certiorari filed by V.L. On March 7, 2016, the Supreme Court of the United States reversed the decision of the Alabama Supreme Court by per curiam summary disposition.

The Filburn decision supported what Congress had done, and said the Constitution enabled congressional regulation that included economic activity that was only indirectly related to interstate commerce.

Title: Nissan FJ engine
Passage: The Nissan FJ series engine was a straight-4 DOHC 2- or 2.4 L internal combustion engine produced by Nissan in the 1980s, in 2.4 L guise as a rally motor for the 240RS, and 2.0 L for general production models. The FJ20 weighs 366 lb (166 kg); the FJ24 weighs 368 lb (167 kg). The 2.0 L variant was used in the US110 and US12 Nissan SilviaGazelleSakura, and DR30 Nissan Skyline. The 2.4 L variant was used in the Silvia based BS110 Nissan 240RS rally car. While a 1.5 L variant was designed and a prototype built, it never went into production . It is acclaimed by some as the forefather of the CA engine. Although the DOHC CA head is similar, this is unlikely, as the SOHC CA was devised as a lightweight replacement for the LZ series motors when the FJ first entered production, and the DOHC CA head appeared later when the RB series was released. The FJ has an aluminium head, chain driven cams, and an iron block. Turbo motors were only available in Japan and New Zealand and the non turbo variants were available in Japan, Hong-Kong, Australia and Europe. Datsun enthusiasts like to swap FJ engines into L or Z series powered vehicles. The FJ has similar mounting points to LZKA blocks. It was discontinued in the mid 1980s due to its prohibitive cost . It featured large ports,dual valve-springs and a wide angle bucket on shim valvetrain design similar to other (later) Nissan twincams like the VG, CA, RB, and KA, series DOHC motors and the previous S20 6 cyl DOHC motor from the early 1970s GT-R.
Title: Nissan Actic
Passage: The Nissan Actic was a concept car design study by Nissan Design America in La Jolla, California, and presented at the 2004 North American International Auto Show.

The amount owed by the federal government of the United States is part of the macroeconomics of a debt ceiling that was created when?
|
Title: National debt of the United States
Passage: The national debt of the United States is the amount owed by the federal government of the United States. The measure of the public debt is the value of the outstanding Treasury securities at a point of time that have been issued by the Treasury and other federal government agencies. The terms national deficit and national surplus usually refer to the federal government budget balance from year to year, not the cumulative total. A deficit year increases the debt because more money is spent than is received; a surplus year decreases the debt because more money is received than spent.
Title: United States debt ceiling
Passage: The United States debt ceiling or debt limit is a legislative limit on the amount of national debt that can be issued by the US Treasury, thus limiting how much money the federal government may borrow. The debt ceiling is an aggregate figure which applies to the gross debt, which includes debt in the hands of the public and in intra-government accounts. (About 0.5 of debt is not covered by the ceiling.) Because expenditures are authorized by separate legislation, the debt ceiling does not directly limit government deficits. In effect, it can only restrain the Treasury from paying for expenditures and other financial obligations after the limit has been reached, but which have already been approved (in the budget) and appropriated.
Title: History of United States debt ceiling
Passage: The history of United States debt ceiling deals with movements in the United States debt ceiling since it was created in 1917. Management of the United States public debt is an important part of the macroeconomics of the United States economy and finance system, and the debt ceiling is a limitation on the federal government's ability to manage the economy and finance system. The debt ceiling is also a limitation on the federal government's ability to finance government operations, and the failure of Congress to authorise an increase in the debt ceiling has resulted in crises, especially in recent years. The debt ceiling has been suspended since October 30, 2015.

What republic was started because of a dispute in the area The Green Mountain Boys were a militia?
|
Title: Green Mountain Boys
Passage: The Green Mountain Boys were a militia organization first established in the late 1760s in the territory between the British provinces of New York and New Hampshire, known as the New Hampshire Grants (which later became the state of Vermont). Headed by Ethan Allen and members of his extended family, they were instrumental in resisting New York's attempts to control the territory, over which it had won "de jure" control in a territorial dispute with New Hampshire.
Title: Green Mountain Reservoir
Passage: Green Mountain Reservoir lies at the northern end of Summit County, Colorado along the Blue River. The Green Mountain Dam was built between 1938 and 1942 by the United States Bureau of Reclamation. The reservoir and its dam store water to benefit Colorado's Western Slope. Created by President Roosevelt as part of the Colorado-Big Thompson Project in 1937, Green Mountain was the first facility to be constructed. This is because it represents a great compromise that made the C-BT project possible: it compensates the Western Slope for water diverted to cities in Northern Colorado from Granby Reservoir further upstream on the Colorado River. Water from Green Mountain Dam is released either over the spillway, through the dam, or through the hydroelectric powerplant at the dam's base. The Green Mountain Power Plant has the capacity to generate up to 21,000 kilowatts, using two generators. Combined with the other five Federal power plants on the C-BT, enough electricity is produced annually to power almost 60,000 American homes.
Title: New Hampshire Grants
Passage: The New Hampshire Grants or Benning Wentworth Grants were land grants made between 1749 and 1764 by the colonial governor of the Province of New Hampshire, Benning Wentworth. The land grants, totaling about 135 (including 131 towns), were made on land claimed by New Hampshire west of the Connecticut River, territory that was also claimed by the Province of New York. The resulting dispute led to the eventual establishment of the Vermont Republic, which later became the U.S. state of Vermont.
