Title: Neverwinter Nights (series)
Passage: Neverwinter Nights is a series of video games developed by BioWare and Obsidian Entertainment, based on the "Forgotten Realms" campaign setting of the "Dungeons Dragons" role-playing game. It is unrelated to the 1991 online game of the same name distributed by AOL.
Title: Alan Miranda
Passage: Alan Miranda is a previous BioWare employee, who had worked on "Dungeons Dragons" titles like "Neverwinter Nights" and "". In 2003, he left BioWare to form his own company, Ossian Studios, with his wife Elizabeth Starr. Miranda approached BioWare joint CEO Greg Zeschuk in 2005 to discuss the possibility of Ossian developing a "premium module" for "Neverwinter Nights". Premium modules were adventures created for "Neverwinter Nights" by BioWare and other companies. BioWare had been given autonomy on the premium module process from the game's publisher, Atari, and Zeschuk approved Miranda's proposal. Miranda's initial draft of the project was a pirate-themed adventure in the Sword Coast, which happened to be the same idea that BioWare itself was creating a premium module for, "". Miranda revised the concept and chose the Western Heartlands as the setting. Ossian estimated that a module on par with other large games like "Kingmaker" would take four to five months. Pre-production on "Darkness over Daggerford" began in April 2005 and took a month and a half. Ossian went through five designers in this stage, none of whom worked out. Choosing a designer required much of the time allocated for pre-production, and to compensate Ossian developers immediately began creating the game, fleshing out details as they went. In May 2006, Atari cancelled the premium module program, with no warning to developers of the current projects. Miranda and his team decided to finish the game anyway, and in August 2006 it was released free of charge on IGN's Neverwinter Nights Vault.

Title: Walter Poenisch
Passage: Walter Poenisch (July 11, 1913 - June 6, 2000) was an American baker and long-distance swimmer. In 1963, at the age of 50, Poenisch began his professional swimming career by swimming in the Jim Moran Lake Michigan Swim, a 30-mile professional marathon swim in Lake Michigan.

In 1976, he swam 125 miles in the Florida Straits and was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for the longest ocean swim. To memorialize his 65th birthday in 1978, Poenisch set out to be the first to swim from Havana, Cuba to the Florida Keys. As then-President of Cuba Fidel Castro watched, Poenisch began his swim from Cuba on July 13, 1978. About thirty-three hours later, Poenisch arrived at Little Duck Key, a small island in the lower Florida Keys. As a result of not filing for official recognition - he had no outside observer beside his own personal crew - his swim did not receive official recognition. He subsequently sued three parties, including the International Swimming Hall of Fame and Diana Nyad, a long-distance swimmer competitor who began her first Cuba-to-Florida swim on July 16, 1978 - two days after Poenisch arrived in Florida. Poenisch claimed that Nyad's publicist and Nyad had slandered him just before she left on her swim due to how they characterized his Cuba-to-Florida swim efforts.

During which era of French classical music did Marc Antoine Charpentier compose music?
|
Title: Marc-Antoine Charpentier
Passage: Marc-Antoine Charpentier (] ; 1643 24 February 1704) was a French composer of the Baroque era.
Title: Musical composition
Passage: Musical composition can refer to an original piece of music, either a song or an instrumental music piece, the structure of a musical piece, or the process of creating or writing a new song or piece of music. People who create new compositions are called composers in classical music. In popular music and traditional music, the creators of new songs are usually called songwriters; with songs, the person who writes new words for a song is the lyricist. "Composition" is the act or practice of creating a song or other piece of music. In many cultures, including Western classical music, the act of composing typically includes the creation of music notation, such as a sheet music "score", which is then performed by the composer or by other instrumental musicians or singers. In popular music and traditional music, songwriting may involve the creation of a basic outline of the song, called the lead sheet, which sets out the melody, lyrics and chord progression. In classical music, orchestration (choosing the instruments of a large music ensemble such as an orchestra which will play the different parts of music, such as the melody, accompaniment, countermelody, bassline and so on) is typically done by the composer, but in musical theatre and in pop music, songwriters may hire an arranger to do the orchestration. In some cases, a pop or traditional songwriter may not use written notation at all, and instead compose the song in her mind and then play, sing andor record it from memory. In jazz and popular music, notable sound recordings by influential performers are given the weight that written or printed scores play in classical music.
Title: French classical music
Passage: French classical music began with the sacred music of the Roman Catholic Church, with written records predating the reign of Charlemagne. It includes all of the major genres of sacred and secular, instrumental and vocal music. French classical styles often have an identifiably national character, ranging from the clarity and precision of the music of the late Renaissance music to the sensitive and emotional Impressionistic styles of the early 20th century. Important French composers include Protin, Machaut, Dufay, Josquin des Prez, Lully, Charpentier, Couperin, Rameau, Leclair, Grtry, Mhul, Auber, Berlioz, Alkan, Gounod, Offenbach, Franck, Lalo, Saint-Sans, Delibes, Bizet, Chabrier, Massenet, Widor, Faur, d'Indy, Chausson, Debussy, Dukas, Louis Vierne, Durufl, Satie, Roussel, Hahn, Ravel, Honegger, Milhaud, Poulenc, Auric, Messiaen, Franaix, Dupr, Dutilleux, Boulez, Guillou, Grisey, and Murail.
Title: Classical guitar repertoire
Passage: To a greater extent than most other instruments and ensembles, it is difficult to compose music for the guitar without either proficiency in the instrument or close collaboration with a guitarist. As a result, a large part of the guitar repertoire consists of works by guitarists who did not compose extensively for other instruments. Music prior to the classical era was often composed for performance on various combinations of instruments, and could be adapted by the performer to keyboard instruments, the lute, or the guitar. Since the beginning of the 20th century, however, a significant amount of music has been written for the guitar by non-guitarist composers.
Title: Marc Antoine (musician)
Passage: Marc Jean Roland Antoine Vouilloux (born 28 May 1963) known professionally as Marc Antoine, is a jazz guitarist from France.
Title: Ambroisie
Passage: Ambroisie is a French classical music record label founded in 1999 by Nicolas Bartholome, and later sold to Nave Records. The label released mainly French classical artists, some of whom, including Christophe Rousset, later released on Bartholome's new label Apart.

Are Burretiokentia and Rebutia both types of plants?
|
Title: False vivipary
Passage: False vivipary is an abnormal condition found in many types of plants in which a plantlet is produced where the flower should appear. It is not a completely understood topic, but some say it could be caused by a hormonal mistake. The plantlet which appears can be rooted and grown like normal plants. This abnormal behavior can occasionally be seen in many types of carnivorous plants.
Title: Trellis (architecture)
Passage: A trellis (treillage) is an architectural structure, usually made from an open framework or lattice of interwoven or intersecting pieces of wood, bamboo or metal that is normally made to support and display climbing plants, especially shrubs. There are many types of trellis for different places and for different plants, from agricultural types, especially in viticulture, which are covered at vine training systems, to garden uses for climbers such as grapevines, clematis, ivy, and climbing roses or other support based growing plants. The rose trellis is especially common in Europe and other rose-growing areas, and many climbing rose varieties require a trellis to reach their potential as garden plants. Some plants will climb and wrap themselves round a trellis without much artificial help being needed while others need training by passing the growing shoots through the trellis andor tying them to the framework.
Title: Self-pollination
Passage: Self-pollination is when pollen from the same plant arrives at the stigma of a flower (in flowering plants) or at the ovule (in Gymnosperms).

In geitonogamy, pollen is transferred from the anther of one flower to the stigma of another flower on the same flowering plant, or from microsporangium to ovule within a single (monoecious) Gymnosperm. Some plants have mechanisms that ensure autogamy, such as flowers that do not open (cleistogamy), or stamens that move to come into contact with the stigma. The term selfing that is often used as a synonym, is not limited to self-pollination, but also applies to other types of self fertilization.
Title: Burretiokentia
Passage: Burretiokentia is a genus of palms (Arecaceae) endemic to New Caledonia containing five species. The relationships between Burretiokentia and some other genera of the tribe Basseliniinae including "Physokentia" and the New Caledonia endemic "Cyphophoenix" are not clear.

Title: Berkeley Physics Course
Passage: The Berkeley Physics Course is a series of college-level physics textbooks written mostly by UC Berkeley professors.
Title: Surface hopping
Passage: Surface hopping is a mixed quantum-classical technique that incorporates quantum mechanical effects into molecular dynamics simulations. Traditional molecular dynamics assume the Born-Oppenheimer approximation, where the lighter electrons adjust instantaneously to the motion of the nuclei. Though the Born-Oppenheimer approximation is applicable to a wide range of problems, there are several applications, such as photoexcited dynamics, electron transfer, and surface chemistry where this approximation falls apart. Surface hopping partially incorporates the non-adiabatic effects by including excited adiabatic surfaces in the calculations, and allowing for 'hops' between these surfaces, subject to certain criteria.
Title: Jacobs Institute for Design Innovation
Passage: The Jacobs Institute for Design Innovation is a building on the UC Berkeley campus, part of the UC Berkeley College of Engineering.

Backmasking is a sound recording effect, that deliberately reverses which media?
|
Title: Low fidelity
Passage: Low fidelity or lo fi (adjectival form "low-fidelity" or "lo-fi") is a type of sound recording which contains technical flaws that make the recording sound different compared with the live sound being recorded, such as distortion, hum, background noise, or limited frequency response. The term "low-fidelity" is used in contrast to the audiophile term high fidelity or "hi-fi", which refers to equipment that very accurately reproduces music without harmonic distortion or unwanted frequency emphasis or resonance. The ideas of lo-fi are taken to extremes by the genre or "scene" of no fidelity, or "no-fi". Some lower-budget recordings from the 1970s and 1980s have an "unintended" "lo-fi" sound because of the limitations of the analog recording and processing techniques of the time, which introduced unwanted artifacts such as distortion, hum and phase problems. In some recordings, however, high fidelity recording is "purposely" avoided, or the artifacts such as simulated vinyl record crackles are deliberately retained or added in for aesthetic or historical reasons.
Title: Production sound mixer
Passage: A production sound mixer, location sound recordist, location sound engineer or simply sound mixer is the member of a film crew or television crew responsible for recording all sound recording on set during the filmmaking or television production using professional audio equipment, for later inclusion in the finished product, or for reference to be used by the sound designer, sound effects editors, or foley artists. This requires choice and deployment of microphones, choice of recording media, and mixing of audio signals in real time.
Title: Jack Mullin
Passage: John Thomas "Jack" Mullin (October 5, 1913 June 24, 1999) was an American pioneer in the field of magnetic tape sound recording and made significant contributions to many other related fields. From his days at Santa Clara University to his death, he displayed a deep appreciation for classical music and an aptitude for electronics and engineering. When he died in 1999, he was buried with a rosary and a reel of magnetic tape. A 2006 documentary movie, "Sound Man: WWII to MP3", was made about his life and contributions to sound recording.
Title: Reverse tape effects
Passage: Reverse tape effects are special effects created by recording sound onto magnetic tape and then physically reversing the tape so that when the tape is played back, the sounds recorded on it are heard in reverse. Backmasking is a type of reverse tape effect.
Title: Backmasking
Passage: Backmasking is a recording technique in which a sound or message is recorded backward onto a track that is meant to be played forward. Backmasking is a deliberate process, whereas a message found through phonetic reversal may be unintentional.
Title: Sound design
Passage: Sound design is the process of specifying, acquiring, manipulating or generating audio elements. It is employed in a variety of disciplines including filmmaking, television production, theatre, sound recording and reproduction, live performance, sound art, post-production, radio and video game development. Sound design most commonly involves the manipulation of previously composed or recorded audio, such as sound effects and dialogue. In some instances it may also involve the composition or manipulation of audio to create a desired effect or mood. A sound designer is one who practices the art of sound design.
