Title: Dalton (program)
Passage: Dalton (named after John Dalton) is an ab initio quantum chemistry computer program. It is capable of calculating various molecular properties using the HartreeFock, MP2, MCSCF and coupled cluster theories. Version 2.0 of DALTON added support for density functional theory calculations. There are many authors, including Trygve Helgaker, Poul Jrgensen and Kenneth Ruud.
Title: MPQC
Passage: MPQC (Massively Parallel Quantum Chemistry) is an ab initio computational chemistry software program. Three features distinguish it from other quantum chemistry programs such as Gaussian and GAMESS: it is open source, has an object-oriented design, and is created from the beginning as a parallel processing program. It is available in Ubuntu and Debian.
Title: Vienna Ab initio Simulation Package
Passage: The Vienna Ab initio Simulation Package, better known as VASP, is a package for performing ab initio quantum mechanical molecular dynamics (MD) using either Vanderbilt pseudopotentials, or the projector augmented wave method, and a plane wave basis set. The basic methodology is density functional theory (DFT), but the code also allows use of post-DFT corrections such as hybrid functionals mixing DFT and HartreeFock exchange, many-body perturbation theory (the GW method) and dynamical electronic correlations within the random phase approximation.
Title: John Dalton
Passage: John Dalton FRS ( ; 6 September 1766 27 July 1844) was an English chemist, physicist, and meteorologist. He is best known for proposing the modern atomic theory and for his research into colour blindness, sometimes referred to as Daltonism in his honour.

Title: Cssio van den Berg
Passage: Cssio van den Berg (born 1971) is a Brazilian botanist. He is noted for work in orchid classification and evolution, especially great changes in the generic circumscriptions of ornamental orchids in the genus "Cattleya", based on DNA studies for the subtribe Laeliinae. Based on this studies, he proposed a fusion of the genera "Cattleya", "Laelia" (only Brazilian species), and "Sophronitis". In Laeliinae, the studies pointed out to the separation of subtribe Ponerinae, and the transfer of "Dilomilis" and "Neocogniauxia" to Pleurothallidinae. He also worked in the taxonomy of other orchid genera, such as "Acianthera", "Baptistonia", "Bulbophyllum", "Cymbidium", "Encyclia", "Galeandra", "Isabelia" and "Pleione". In 2004, he described a new genus of Laeliinae, "Adamantinia" Van den Berg C.N.Gon. Currently he is full professor and curator of the Laboratory of Plant Molecular Systematics.

Title: Lake Moody
Passage: Lake Moody is a natural freshwater lake with a 409 acre surface area. Shaped somewhat like a flint arrowhead, Lake Moody is in an area of sparse residential development. A scattering of residences, as well as citrus groves, are on the south side of the lake along South Lake Moody Road. On the west side the lake is bordered by the Scenic Route of Highway 17. A few residences line the west side of the highway and the shore on west side is all private property. Most of the area along the highway is bordered by citrus groves. North Lake Moody Road borders the northwest part of the lake. The shore borders much of the road right-of-way on this road. Lake Moody is bordered on the northeast by citrus groves and some swampy areas of ground. A railroad line, more swamp and citrus groves line the east shore.
Title: Drilling
Passage: Drilling is a cutting process that uses a drill bit to cut a hole of circular cross-section in solid materials. The drill bit is usually a rotary cutting tool, often multipoint. The bit is pressed against the workpiece and rotated at rates from hundreds to thousands of revolutions per minute. This forces the cutting edge against the workpiece, cutting off chips (swarf) from the hole as it is drilled.
Title: Boomplaas Cave
Passage: Boomplaas Cave is located in the Cango Valley in the foothills of the Swartberg mountain range, north of Oudtshoorn, Eden District Municipality in the Western Cape Province, South Africa. It has a 5 m deep stratified archaeological sequence of human presence, occupation and hunter-gathererherder acculturation dating back 80,000 years. The site's documentation contributed to the reconstruction of palaeo-environments in the context of changes in climate within periods of the Late Pleistocene (12,000 - 80,000 years BP) and the Holocene (since 12,000 years BP). The cave has served multiple functions during its occupation, such as a kraal (enclosure) for animals, a place for the storage of oil rich fruits and as a hunting camp. Circular stone hearths and calcified dung remains of domesticated sheep as well as stone adzes and pottery art (painted stones) were excavated indicating that humans lived at the site and kept animals.
Title: Adze
Passage: The adze ( ; alternative spelling: adz) is a cutting tool shaped somewhat like an axe that dates back to the stone age. It can be any tool with a sharp cutting edge. Adzes are used for smoothing or carving wood in hand woodworking, similar to an axe but with the cutting edge perpendicular to the handle. Two basic forms of an adze are the hand adze, a short handled tool swung with one hand, and a foot adze, a long handled tool capable of powerful swings using both hands, the cutting edge usually striking at foot or shin level. The blade of an adze is set at right angles to the tool's shaft (like a hoe or plane), in contrast to an axe's blade, which is in plane with the shaft. A similar, but blunt, tool used for digging in hard ground is called a mattock.

Title: List of Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom
Passage: The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is the head of the Government of the United Kingdom, and chairs Cabinet meetings. There is no specific date when the office of Prime Minister first appeared, as the role was not created but rather evolved over a period of time. The term was used in the House of Commons in 1805 and it was certainly in parliamentary use by the 1880s, and in 1905 the post of Prime Minister was officially given recognition in the order of precedence. Modern historians generally consider Sir Robert Walpole, who led the government of Great Britain from 1721 to 1742, as the first Prime Minister. Walpole is also the longest-serving Prime Minister by this definition. However, Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman was the first Prime Minister and Margaret Thatcher the longest-serving Prime Minister to have been officially referred to as such.

What is a common ingredient for both a Mimosa cocktail and a Bronx cocktail?
|
Title: Bagoong monamon
Passage: Bagoong monamon, bagoong monamon-dilis, or simply bagoong and bugguong munamon in Ilocano, is a common ingredient used in the Philippines and particularly in Northern Ilocano cuisine. It is made by fermenting salted anchovies ("monamon" or "munamon" in Ilocano) which is not designed, nor customarily used for immediate consumption since it is completely raw. Therefore, it is used as a cooking ingredient, upon when it is cooked alone, it can be used as an accompaniment to traditional food dishes. To most Westerners unfamiliar with this condiment, the smell can be extremely repulsive. Bagoong is however, an essential ingredient in many curries and sauces.
Title: Bagoong terong
Passage: Bagoong Terong or bagoong, and bugguong in the Ilocano language, is a common ingredient used in the Philippines and particularly in Northern Ilocano cuisine.

The odor is distinct and unique. Those who are unfamiliar with this condiment may find the smell repulsive. Bagoong is an essential ingredient in many curries and sauces. Fish sauce, common throughout Southeast Asian cuisine, is a by-product of the bagoong process. Known in the Philippines as "patis", it is distinguished as the clear refined layer floating on the thicker bagoong. Patis and bagoong can be interchanged in recipes, depending on personal taste and preference.

Today, it remains a popular choice in some markets, and was formerly designated as an Official Cocktail by the International Bartender Association. Like the Manhattan, the Bronx is one of five cocktails named for one of New York City's five boroughs, but is perhaps most closely related to the Queens, which substitutes pineapple for the Bronx's orange.

Title: KAr dating
Passage: Potassiumargon dating, abbreviated KAr dating, is a radiometric dating method used in geochronology and archaeology. It is based on measurement of the product of the radioactive decay of an isotope of potassium (K) into argon (Ar). Potassium is a common element found in many materials, such as micas, clay minerals, tephra, and evaporites. In these materials, the decay product Ar is able to escape the liquid (molten) rock, but starts to accumulate when the rock solidifies (recrystallizes). The amount of Argon sublimation that occurs is a function of the purity of the sample, the composition of the mother material, and a number of other factors. These factors introduce error limits on the upper and lower bounds of dating, so that final determination of age is reliant on the environmental factors during formation, melting, and exposure to decreased pressure andor open-air. Time since recrystallization is calculated by measuring the ratio of the amount of Ar accumulated to the amount of K remaining. The long half-life of K allows the method to be used to calculate the absolute age of samples older than a few thousand years.

Title: Mary Worth
Passage: Mary Worth is a newspaper comic strip, which has had a seven-decade run since it began in 1938 under the title Mary Worth's Familya name that was later changed in 1942 in recognition of the fact that the strip came to focus more and more on the title character Mary Worth and less on the members of her extended family. Distributed by King Features Syndicate, this pioneering soap opera-style strip had an influence on several realistically drawn continuity strips that followed. The strip, by Allen Saunders and Dale Connor, initially appeared under the pseudonym "Dale Allen". Ken Ernst succeeded Connor as artist in 1942, and the title was shortened. Harvey Comics published a comic-book spinoff, "Love Stories of Mary Worth", from 1949 to 1950.

Passage: Flash Gordon is a 1980 science fiction action film created in Technicolor and Todd-AO, based on the King Features comic strip of the same name created by Alex Raymond.

The movie was co-written by Michael Allin (of "Enter the Dragon" fame) and Lorenzo Semple Jr. (who had previously scripted De Laurentiis's remake of "King Kong"). It intentionally uses a camp style similar to the 1960s TV series "Batman" (for which Semple had developed and written many episodes) in an attempt to appeal to fans of the original comics and serial films. Although a box office success in the United Kingdom, it performed poorly overseas. The film is notable for its soundtrack composed, performed and produced by the rock band Queen, with the orchestral sections by Howard Blake. The film has since gained a significant cult following.

The word Consigliere was popularized by a novel written by which author ?
|
Title: Consigliere
Passage: Consigliere (Italian "consigliere" "counselor", pronounced ] , roughly ; plural "consiglieri") is a position within the leadership structure of the Sicilian, Calabrian and American Mafia. The word was popularized by the novel "The Godfather" (1969) and its film adaptation. In the novel, a consigliere is an advisor or counselor to the boss, with the additional responsibility of representing the boss in important meetings both within the boss's crime family and with other crime families. The consigliere is a close, trusted friend and confidant, the mob's version of an elder statesman; he is an adviser to the boss in a Mafia crime family, and sometimes is his 'right-hand man'. In some depictions, he is devoid of ambition and dispenses disinterested advice. This passive image of the consigliere does not correspond with what little is known of real-life consiglieri, however. By the very nature of the job, a consigliere is one of the few in the family who can argue with the boss, and is often tasked with challenging the boss when needed, to ensure subsequent plans are foolproof.
