neg: List of actors nominated for two Academy Awards in the same year The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has had occurrences of actors and actresses nominated for two different Academy Awards in acting categories in a single year , with the first instance in 1938 . Provided that they receive enough votes from the Academy in both categories to earn a nomination , there are no restrictions on actors being nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor or actresses being nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress in any given year . The sole rule with regard to multiple nominations is that an actor or actress can not receive multiple nominations for the same performance . This rule was introduced in 1944 after Barry Fitzgerald received a Best Actor nomination and a Best Supporting Actor nomination for his performance in Going My Way .   As of 2015 , 11 actors and actresses have been nominated for two different Academy Awards in the same year . The first of these actors and actresses was Fay Bainter , who received nominations for her performances in White Banners and Jezebel at the 11th Academy Awards . The most recent occurrence was during the 80th Academy Awards , in which Cate Blanchett received nominations for Elizabeth : The Golden Age and I 'm Not There . Seven of these actors and actresses received an Academy Award in one of the categories they were nominated in , and none have won two Academy Awards in the same year . Four did not receive an Academy Award in either category : Sigourney Weaver ( nominations for Gorillas in the Mist and Working Girl ) , Emma Thompson ( nominations for The Remains of the Day and In the Name of the Father ) , Julianne Moore ( nominations for Far from Heaven and The Hours ) , and Cate Blanchett ( nominations for Elizabeth : The Golden Age and I 'm Not There ) .

neg: Golf instruction Golf instruction is the art of equipping and training golfers to play better golf through improved awareness of swing cause and effects as a result of the actions by their body , the club , and their effect on the golf ball . Most great golfers have a few common elements that make them great including : proper intentionality , swing repeatability to produce an action that fits the golfers intentionality , and a strong level of automaticity for long lasting enjoyment of the game golf . Golf instruction is unique as golf consists of five primary skills : shots from a tee ( most notable : driving that uses a driver ) , full shots from the ground ( mostly known as `` iron shots '' , pitching ( or 3/4 shots designed for distance control , chipping ( short shots around the green the require less than a full swing ) , putting ( 1 club preferably `` the putter '' ) and course strategy or gamesmanship .   Proficiency in teaching golf instruction requires not only technical and physical ability , but also knowledge of the rules and etiquette of the game . Golf instruction offered on many platforms in the United States including : the PGA of America , GolfTEC , and independent golfers who `` may '' or `` may not '' have credentials that are recognized by credible teachers certified sources such as the PGA of America . Although there are many great golf instructors in the United States , who are PGA Class A Professionals , not all great instructors carry this status nor find it a major determiner of golf instruction proficiency .   Golf Instruction can be wide ranging , but many great modern day instructors are able to diagnose and prescribe swing frustrations accurately and present a clear fix that encourages the golfer in the discovery of lasting repeatability from the specific ailment that `` plagued '' them from a sound repeatable swing to play a golf course successfully ( varying terms of success as a golfer ) Many modern instructors include the following in their diagnosis  1 . visual feedback through video and bio motion analysis  2 . personalized golf club fitting for individual body and swing types  3 . on-course play under real conditions  4 . mental performance development  5 . golf specific body conditioning for optimal golf bio-mechanics   Beginning players can start lesson in several ways , but most do so in either a group or individual setting , covering the five primary skills of golf as noted above golf swing . Golf is an asymmetrical exercise that can break body balances , requiring also adequate exercises to keep the balance in muscles . Experienced recreational players often return for instruction , either to fix a specific problem they are encountering or to improve their game . Reconstruction of a golf swing to reach a high level of play often involves series of lessons over an extended period of time . Junior golfers often begin receiving instruction by age 10 or younger , and often retain private teachers even when coached on a high school golf team .   Some top instructors who work with professional golfers have become quite well known in their own right over the years , including Harvey Penick , Jack Grout , Dick Harmon , David Leadbetter , Butch Harmon , Hank Haney , Chip Thomson , Sean Foley , and Mike Bennett and Andy Plummer . Some of the teachers maintain teaching facilities or schools where they or their disciples use their methods or systems . A few instructors focus solely on a particular aspect of the sport , such as Dave Pelz with the short game . Some famous golfers have been tightly bound with their instructor , such as Jack Nicklaus with Jack Grout , while in other cases golfers have made high-profile switches from one instructor to another , such as Tiger Woods moving from Butch Harmon to various other instructors .   Recreational golfers are constantly seeking tips on how to improve , and the major golf publications such as Golf Magazine and Golf Digest devote substantial portions of their pages to instructional material of various kinds , often written by top-level instructors . Even television broadcasts of professional golf tournaments often contain short instructional segments , delivered by commentators who are also instructors such as Peter Kostis .   Golf instruction may be augmented by training aids such as specially weighting or jointed clubs , putting cups for practice on the den room carpet , mini practice tees with feedback for use in garages , et cetera . Some training aids are sold via television infomercials and the more peculiar varieties were satirized in the 1996 film Tin Cup .   Golf instruction is no guarantee of success or improved play in the game . Bad mechanics can be deeply ingrained in a subject 's swing , and psychological factors can also hinder progress . The 2009 Golf Channel program The Haney Project : Charles Barkley showcased some of these issues , as Hank Haney attempted to fix former NBA great Charles Barkley 's infamously bad swing .

neg: Groundstroke A groundstroke or ground stroke in tennis is a forehand or backhand shot that is executed after the ball bounces once on the court . It is usually hit from the back of the tennis court , around the baseline .   A tennis player whose strategy is to trade groundstrokes with the opponent is termed a baseliner , as opposed to volleyers who prefers to hit volleys near the net .   There are many factors that may define a good groundstroke . For example , one groundstroke may use topspin and another backspin . Both can be effective for different reasons having to do with depth , opponent 's strength or weaknesses , etc. . Some characteristics of groundstrokes are : depth ( how close the ball lands to the opponent 's baseline ) , speed ( how fast it travels in the air ) , pace ( the ball 's behavior after it bounces on the opponent 's side ) , trajectory , and placement . If a `` good groundstroke '' is to be played , it would generally have a combination of the above characteristics to produce a shot that is difficult for the opponent to return . Generally , a groundstroke that lands deep and in the corner of the opponent 's court will make it more difficult for the opponent to return the ball . However , this is somewhat arbitrary and depends on the opponent and stage of the point being played . For example , a short angled shot , a moon ball ( very high trajectory ) , an off pace shot , etc. , may prove effective against opponent A but not opponent B.

neg: Structured expert judgment: the classical model Expert Judgment ( EJ ) denotes a wide variety of techniques ranging from a single undocumented opinion , through preference surveys , to formal elicitation with external validation of expert probability assessments . Recent books are   .  In the nuclear safety area ,  Rasmussen  formalized EJ by documenting all steps in the expert elicitation process for scientific review . This made visible wide spreads in expert assessments and teed up questions regarding the validation and synthesis of expert judgments . The nuclear safety community later took onboard expert judgment techniques underpinned by external validation  . Empirical validation is the hallmark of science , and forms the centerpiece of the classical model of probabilistic forecasting  . A European Network coordinates workshops . Application areas include nuclear safety , investment banking , volcanology , public health , ecology , engineering , climate change and aeronautics/aerospace . For a survey of applications through 2006 see    and   give exhortatory overviews . A recent large scale implementation by the World Health Organization is described in   . A long running application at the Montserrat Volcano Observatory is described in    .  The classical model scores expert performance in terms of statistical accuracy ( sometimes called calibration ) and informativeness  .  These terms should not be confused with `` accuracy and precision '' . Accuracy `` is a description of systematic errors '' while precision `` is a description of random errors '' . In the classical model statistical accuracy is measured as the p-value or probability with which one would falsely reject the hypotheses that an expert 's probability assessments were statistically accurate . A low value ( near zero ) means it is very unlikely that the discrepancy between an expert 's probability statements and observed outcomes should arise by chance . Informativeness is measured as Shannon relative information ( or Kullback Leibler divergence ) with respect to an analyst-supplied background measure . Shannon relative information is used because it is scale invariant , tail insensitive , slow , and familiar . Parenthetically , measures with physical dimensions , such as the standard deviation , or the width of prediction intervals , raise serious problems , as a change of units ( meters to kilometers ) would affect some variables but not others . The product of statistical accuracy and informativeness for each expert is their combined score . With an optimal choice of a statistical accuracy threshold beneath which experts are unweighted , the combined score is a long run `` strictly proper scoring rule '' : an expert achieves his long run maximal expected score by and only by stating his true beliefs . The classical model derives Performance Weighted ( PW ) combinations . These are compared with Equally Weighted ( EW ) combinations , and recently with Harmonically Weighted ( HW ) combinations , as well as with individual expert assessments .   While some mathematicians and decision analysts regard combining expert judgments as a mathematical problem , the classical model regards expert combination as more akin to an engineering problem . A bicycle obeys Newton 's Laws but does not follow from them . It is designed to optimize performance under constraints . Similarly expert judgment combination is viewed as a tool for enabling rational consensus by optimizing performance measures under mathematical and decision theoretic constraints . The theory of rational consensus is summarized in   .   Real expert judgment studies differ in many ways from research or academic exercises . The experts are typically recruited in a traceable peer nomination process based on their knowledge of and engagement with the subject of the study ; they may receive remuneration . In all cases , experts ' reasoning is documented , and their names and affiliations are part of the reporting . However , to encourage candid judgments , individuals ' responses are not exchanged within the group and association of names with assessments is not reported in the open literature , but is preserved to enable peer review by the problem owner .   Elicitations typically last several hours ; the elicitation protocol is formalized and is part of the public reporting . Elicitation styles differ among practitioners , including face-to-face interviews , with or without plenary briefing and training , and `` supervised plenary '' . Remote elicitation is rarely used , but some recent studies use online face-to-face tools .

neg: Light fighter Light fighters are fighter aircraft towards the low end of the practical range of weight , cost , and complexity over which fighters are fielded . The term lightweight fighter is more commonly used in the modern literature , and by example tends to imply somewhat more capable aircraft than light fighters at the very low end of the practical weight range , but the terms overlap and are sometimes used interchangeably . Whatever term is used , the concept is to be on the generally lower half of the practical range , but still with carefully selected competitive features , in order to project highly effective force per unit of budget via an efficient design . As well designed lightweight fighters have proven able to match or beat heavier aircraft plane for plane for many missions , and to significantly excel them in budgetary efficiency , light/lightweight fighters have proven to be a strategically valuable concept . Attempting to scale this efficiency to still lower cost , some manufacturers have in recent years adopted the term `` light fighter '' to also refer to light primarily air-to-ground attack aircraft , some of which are modified trainer designs .   A key design goal of light/lightweight fighter design is to satisfy standard air-to-air fighter effectiveness requirements . These criteria in order of importance are the ability to benefit from the element of surprise , to have numerical superiority in the air , to have superior maneuverability , and to possess suitable weapon systems effectiveness . Light fighters typically achieve a surprise advantage over larger aircraft due to smaller visual and radar signatures , which is important since in the majority of air-to-air kills the element of surprise is dominant . Their comparative lower cost and higher reliability also allows greater numbers per budget . Finally , while a single engine light fighter would typically only carry about half the weapons load of a heavy twin engine fighter , its surprise and maneuverability advantages often allow it to gain positional advantage to make better use of those weapons .   The light fighter concept first arose in the period between World War I and World War II . Examples include several RAF fighter designs from the pre-World War II ( WWII ) era , and their French counterparts , known as `` Jockey '' aircraft . None of these very light fighters enjoyed success into World War II , as they were too hampered in performance . Similar to the meaning of lightweight fighter today , during World War II the term `` small fighter '' was used to describe a single engine aircraft of competitive performance , range , and armament load , but with no unnecessary weight and cost . Examples of this style of very successful fighter include the Japanese A6M Zero , British Supermarine Spitfire , German Messerschmitt Bf 109 , American P-51 Mustang , and Soviet Yakovlev Yak-3 .   After World War II fighter design moved into the jet era , and many jet fighters basically followed the successful World War II formula of highly efficient mostly single engine designs that tended to be about half the weight and cost of twin engine heavy fighters . Prominent early examples include the English Folland Gnat , the American F-86 Sabre and Northrop F-5 , the Soviet Mikoyan MiG-15 and Mikoyan MiG-21 , the French Mirage III , and the Swedish Saab Draken . More modern lightweight fighters with competitive air-to-air capability ( supersonic aircraft with afterburning engines and modern missile armament ) include the American F-16 , Swedish JAS 39 Gripen , Indian HAL Tejas , Korean FA-50 , Japanese Mitsubishi F-2 , Chinese Chengdu J-10 , and Pakistani/Chinese CAC/PAC JF-17 Thunder . The high practical and budgetary effectiveness of modern light fighters for many missions is why the U.S. Air Force adopted both the F-15 and F-16 in a `` hi/lo '' strategy of both an outstanding but expensive heavy fighter and a lower cost but also outstanding lightweight fighter . The investment to maintain a competitive modern lightweight fighter air force is approximately $ 90M to $ 130M ( 2013 dollars ) per plane over a 20-year service life , which is approximately half the cost of heavy fighters , so understanding fighter aircraft design trade-offs and combat effectiveness is of national level strategic importance .

neg: Honda Sport 90 The Honda Sport 90 , Super 90 , or S90 , was a 90 cc Honda motorcycle ultra lightweight new design motorcycle , the engine based on the Honda Super Cub , and was made from 1964 to 1969 . The motorcycle continued in production In various forms for example the S90Z in Indonesia .   The single cylinder OHC air-cooled engine linked to a four speed transmission . It had a hand clutch , and shifting was `` 1 down , 3 up , '' with neutral in between 1st and 2nd . There was no tachometer but the speedometer indicated speed ranges for each gear . The top speed was claimed to be 64 mph , and the engine was rated at 8 horsepower .   The engine held a quart of oil and had an internal centrifugal oil filter , and the exhaust had a removable baffle . A metal cylinder behind the carburetor held the air filter . Tools went under the seat in their own compartment .   The frame was pressed steel rather than tubular steel to minimize weight and the bike was fitted with telescopic front forks for improved road holding . The motorcycle was not intended for off road use , as evidenced by the narrow handle bars and street tires ; it included no accessories for such travel . 90 mpgus was not hard to attain , even with spirited riding .   There are a variety of models including the Honda S90 , CS90 , and the Benly 90 . The date of manufacturing can be determined by removing the fuel tank and examining the tag surrounding the wiring harness .

neg: World championship A world championship is generally an international sports competition open to elite competitors from across the world , representing their nations , and winning such an event will be considered the highest or near highest achievement in the sport or contest .   The title is usually awarded through a combination of specific contests or , less commonly , ranking systems ( e.g. the ICC Test Championship ) , or a combination of the two ( e.g. World Triathlon Championships in Triathlon ) . This determines a ` world champion ' , who or which is commonly considered the best nation , team , individual ( or other entity ) in the world in a particular field , although the vagaries of sport ensure that the competitor recognised at the best in an event is not always the ` world champion ' ( see Underdog ) .   Certain sports do not have a world championship . Instead , they may organise a world cup competition , or they may organize both , for example cycling ( UCI World Championships and UCI World Cups ) ) . Often , the use of the term cup or championship in this sense is just a choice of words . Some sports have multiple champions because of multiple organizations , such as boxing , mixed martial arts and wrestling .   Certain sports do not have a world championship or a world cup as such , but may have one or several world champions . Professional boxing , for example , has several world champions at different weights , but each one of them is decided by a `` title fight '' , not a tournament .   A certain number of sports hold world championships or world cups which are overshadowed , in terms of prestige , by the same events in the Olympic Games , the most prestigious multi-sports event .   Still other sports may or may not have a true world championship but may designate the winners of a domestic competition to be `` world champions . '' This is especially true of the major professional sports leagues in the United States and Canada ; world cups and championships exist in all of the major sports , but the domestic U.S. and Canadian leagues are generally recognized as the world professional championships or the equivalent of a world club championship . ( In American football , although an IFAF World Championship exists , the United States is so far above and beyond the other nations it faces that the winner of the U.S.-based Super Bowl , a competition limited to the 32 teams in the National Football League , is commonly recognized as the world champion . )   Finally , certain professional sports do not have a world championship or world cup , but rather hold a series of events recognised as the elite level in their field ( e.g. tennis has a series of four Grand Slam events recognised as the pinnacle of the game , in addition to key team events , world tour finals and the Olympic Games , but no world championship or world cup ) .

neg: Starting pistol A starting pistol or starter pistol is a blank handgun that is fired to start track and field races , as well as competitive swimming races at some meets . The sound of the gun going off serves as the signal for the athletes to begin the event . Starter guns `` can not fire real ammunition or be modified to fire real ammunition . '' Beside sporting events , they are also used in films and in TV or stage shows . Blank shells or caps are used to prevent expelling projectiles , and only small amount of smoke can be seen when shot . Starting pistols may also include modified versions of standard pistols incapable of firing bullets , most commonly achieved by welding an obstruction into the barrel . This is less common nowadays , especially in Western countries . When electronic timing is used , a sensor is often affixed to the gun , which sends an electronic signal to the timing system upon firing . For deaf competitors or for modern electronic systems , a light may be used instead .   An issue with the use of starting pistols is that , since the report of the pistol is carried to the competitors at the speed of sound , which takes about 3 milliseconds to travel one metre , positions nearest the starter hear the report a few milliseconds before further positions . This issue is exaggerated in races where the runners begin in a stagger , putting a significant distance between the nearest and furthest runners . To avoid this problem , the pistol is in all major competitions wired with a microphone that transmits the sound virtually instantaneously to loudspeakers directly behind each competitor .   With security after the September 11 attacks on the US becoming prevalent , causing issues with starting pistols , a trend developed to use electronic starting systems that do not use pistols , but use a `` dummy '' prop pistol which can not function as a firearm that is wired to the timing system . When the starter presses the button , they emit a signal to play a simulated gunshot that is broadcast to loudspeakers behind each lane , show a flash , emit simulated smoke , and start the timing clock . Many venues have switched to the new format . Beyond the security concerns , it has also been observed that even with the use of loudspeakers , some competitors still wait for the actual sound of the gun to reach them , and since the new all-electronic starting pistols have no such problems , they became the official way of starting games at the 2012 Summer Olympics .

neg: Honda XBR500 thumb | 300px | Honda XBR 500 ( 1985 ) with Comstar wheels  thumb | 300px | Honda XBR 500 ( 1988 ) with wire-spoked wheels   The Honda XBR 500 is a 500cc Japanese sports single cylinder motorcycle launched by Honda in 1985 in response to the Yamaha SR500 . It is powered by a single-cylinder four-valve engine with the valves arranged radially ( the Radial Four Valve Combustion Chamber , or RFVC ) . Displacing 498 cc and producing 44 hp , the engine , which originated from the Honda XR series off-road models , features a dry-sump , the oil being stored in a separate oil tank below the seat . The steel-braided hoses connecting the oil tank to the engine ( clearly visible at the right-hand side of the motorcycle ) became a strong visual element .   The two exhaust valves enabled the motorcycle to be fitted with two separate silencers . The motorcycle had both an electric start and a kick start which linked to an automatic decompression valve to reduce compression during operation . The fuel-efficient engine combined with the large fuel tank capacity provided the bike with a long range between refuelling .   The early XBR500 was fitted with Comstar wheels and tubeless tyres . Later models were provided with spoked wheels and tubed tyres . A removable seat cover was also fitted in order to simulate a cafe-racer look . Honda subsequently released a café racer version of the XBR500 , the Honda GB500 TT , which featured some `` classic British qualities '' , such as a solo seat , seat hump , wire wheels , and a fuel-tank with pinstriping .

neg: Sword replica Sword replicas may be produced as a singular reproduction of a specific historical sword , e.g. commissioned by a museum , or they may be produced commercially in series , again either based on a specific sword , a certain historical type of sword , or an original design loosely based on historical precedents . Functional quality reproductions even when produced in series may be priced in the USD/EUR 1,000 to 2,000 range or above , while cheap factory produced swords may range around USD/EUR 50 to 200 .   The purpose of the replica may be either exhibition ( educational museum replicas , or simply decorative `` wallhangers '' ) , or practical use ( historical fencing , combat reenactment , kenjutsu/batt ōjutsu or test cutting ) .   In the case of decorative replicas , the product need not be able to withstand the physical stress of actual use , resulting in lower cost . Such decorative look-alikes are also pejoratively referred to as `` sword-like objects '' ( or SLOs ) in jargon , especially when falsely advertised .   Swords intended for historical fencing on the other hand should ideally come as closely as possible to historical weapons ( but remain unsharpened to avoid injury ) . Swords used for test cutting are sharpened , and are often heavier than their historical counterparts , since added weight improves their cutting effect at the expense of agility ( cf. the historical executioner 's swords ) . Swords used for combat reenactment often have rounded points to reduce the risk of injury , and are also often much heavier than their historical counterparts .

neg: Naoki Tsukahara is a Japanese sprinter who specialises in the 100 metres .   He was seventh in 100 m at the 58th National Sports Festival of Japan in 2003 . After coming sixth over 200 m at the 2004 Japan Student Athletics Championships , he returned two years later to place runner-up in both short sprints . The 2006 Japan Championships in Athletics saw him with the 100 m title and take third in the 200 m.   Tsukahara represented Japan at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing where he competed at the 100 metre sprint and placed second in his first heat after Churandy Martina in a time of 10.39 seconds . He qualified for the second round in which he improved his time to 10.23 seconds , finishing third behind Martina and Michael Frater . In the 100 m semi-finals Tsukahara achieved a time of 10.16 seconds , his best of the season , but finished in seventh place , failing to qualify for the final .   Together with Shingo Suetsugu , Shinji Takahira and Nobuharu Asahara , Tsukahara also competed in the 4x100 metres relay final at the 2008 Summer Olympics . In their qualification heat , the team placed second behind Trinidad and Tobago , ahead of the teams from the Netherlands and Brazil . Their time of 38.52 s was the third fastest out of sixteen participating nations in the first round and they qualified for the final . There they sprinted to a time of 38.15 seconds , placing third after the Jamaican and Trinidad teams , winning the bronze medal . However , in January 2017 , Jamaica 's gold medal was revoked after one of their athletes was found to have been doping , meaning that the Japanese team received silver . The achievement was a historic one in terms of Japanese olympians ; it is the first track medal won by Japanese athletes in 80 years , as well as being the first medal won by male Japanese athletes .   Tsukahara had a strong start to the 2009 season , improving his 200 m best in early May to 20.61 s . He also set a new 100 m personal best at the 2009 Osaka Grand Prix . He easily won with a time of 10.13 seconds but still felt that he was capable of running faster .

neg: Honda CR-X The Honda CR-X , originally launched as the Honda Ballade Sports CR-X in Japan , is a front-wheel-drive sport compact car manufactured by Honda between 1983 and 1991 . It was replaced by the Honda CR-X del Sol for the 1992 model year . Although there are many supposed definitions for the acronym CR-X , the most widely accepted are `` Civic rally cross '' , and `` Civic renaissance model X '' .   In the US , the CRX ( not CR-X ) was marketed as an economy sport Kammback , with room for two passengers . The European-spec car received a ZC 130  hp engine and a 2 +2 seating arrangement . Redesigned in 1988 and produced to 1991 , the CRX was popular for its performance , nimble handling , and good fuel economy . Honda 's 1992 CRX del Sol was marketed as a CR-X in some markets .   __ TOC __

neg: Tomoyo Shibata is a former announcer for Nippon TV in Japan .   Shibata is the wife of pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka . They met during the 2000 Sydney Olympics , married in 2005 , and have two children , one daughter and one son .   While secretly dating in 2000 , Shibata became embroiled in a national scandal with Matsuzaka . On August 30 , 2000 , Matsuzaka 's drivers license was suspended for the next two months for a speeding violation of greater than 50 km/h over the legal limit . Two weeks into the suspension , on September 13 , 2000 , Matsuzaka drove a car owned by the Seibu Lions to Shibata 's home although he did not possess a valid driver 's license at the time . During the overnight visit , Matsuzaka illegally parked his car outside Shibata 's home . His car was ticketed and towed by the police , and to cover up the offense Akira Kuroiwa , then Public Relations Manager for the team , lied to the police that Kuroiwa operated the car and committed the parking violation that night . The cover-up was blown by a tabloid whose photojournalist recorded the whole incident . Both men were prosecuted , and Matsuzaka paid 195,000 yen in fine . Details of the story caused a scandal , embarrassing Matsuzaka and his team , the Seibu Lions .

neg: Hunter Field Target Hunter field target ( HFT ) is a target shooting sport derived from the air gun disciplines of field target shooting and hunting . Primarily an outdoor sport , shot with air rifles ( rated at a maximum of 12 ft · lbf ) , a typical HFT course is made up of 30 lanes , with each lane consisting of a peg and a metal `` knock down '' target placed in a position to simulate a hunting scenario . The peg marks the shooting spot and the shooter must touch the peg with part of his or her body or gun for the shot to count .   The targets are mainly based on typical quarry such as rabbit , rat , crow , magpie and grey squirrel . They are made from metal and mimic their counterparts in both shape and size . Each target has a circular `` kill zone '' that varies in size , ( typically 15 -- 45 mm in diameter ) , and are set out at varying ranges ( typically 8-45 yards/7 .3 -41.1 m ) . A direct hit to the `` kill zone '' triggers a mechanism that makes the target fall back flat , simulating a `` kill '' . Successfully `` killing '' a target rewards you with two points and the target is reset by pulling the `` reset cord '' . `` Plating '' a target ( hitting the target anywhere but the `` kill zone '' ) rewards you with one point . Missing the target altogether results in a zero .   The main skill in HFT is the ability to range the target as accurately as possible . Ranging is either done using the traditional method of `` visualising '' the number of yards separating you from the target or , more scientifically by using a telescopic sight fitted with a `` mil-dot '' reticule but also a 30/30 reticle . There is no dialing in for range finding , this is the domain of the normal Field Target discipline . Once the shooter starts the course he/she can not ` touch ' his scope i.e. change magnification , change parralax setting , change turrets . All assets such as windicators and bipods which exist in other target shooting disciplines are banned .   When shooting , contestants may adopt one of three stances : prone ( lying down ) , kneeling , and standing . Sometimes contestants will be forced to adopt a certain stance , for instance a lane that has `` STANDING ONLY '' sign must be shot in the standing position . If the shooter fails to follow this rule , the score for the target will be marked as a zero , even if it was `` killed ''   Shooters from clubs all over the world participate in local and area competitions and also travel to National competitions held under the guidance and rules of the UKAHFT .

neg: Honda CB750 The Honda CB750 is an air-cooled transverse in-line four cylinder engine motorcycle made by Honda over several generations for year models 1969 -- 2003 as well as 2007 with an upright or standard riding posture . It is often called the original Universal Japanese Motorcycle ( UJM ) .   Though other manufacturers had marketed the transverse , overhead camshaft , inline four-cylinder engine configuration and the layout had been used in racing engines prior to World War II , Honda popularized the configuration with the CB750 , and the layout subsequently became the dominant sport bike engine layout .   The CB750 is included in the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Classic Bikes ; was named in the Discovery Channel 's `` Greatest Motorbikes Ever ; '' was in The Art of the Motorcycle exhibition , and is in the UK National Motor Museum . The Society of Automotive Engineers of Japan , Inc. rates the 1969 CB750 as one of the 240 Landmarks of Japanese Automotive Technology .   The CB750 was the first motorcycle to be called a `` superbike . ''

neg: Accuracy paradox The accuracy paradox for predictive analytics states that predictive models with a given level of accuracy may have greater predictive power than models with higher accuracy . It may be better to avoid the accuracy metric in favor of other metrics such as precision and recall .   Accuracy is often the starting point for analyzing the quality of a predictive model , as well as an obvious criterion for prediction . Accuracy measures the ratio of correct predictions to the total number of cases evaluated . It may seem obvious that the ratio of correct predictions to cases should be a key metric . A predictive model may have high accuracy , but be useless .   In an example predictive model for an insurance fraud application , all cases that are predicted as high-risk by the model will be investigated . To evaluate the performance of the model , the insurance company has created a sample data set of 10,000 claims . All 10,000 cases in the validation sample have been carefully checked and it is known which cases are fraudulent . To analyze the quality of the model , the insurance uses the table of confusion . The definition of accuracy , the table of confusion for model M1Fraud , and the calculation of accuracy for model M1Fraud is shown below .   where  TN is the number of true negative cases  FP is the number of false positive cases  FN is the number of false negative cases  TP is the number of true positive cases   Formula 1 : Definition of Accuracy   Table 1 : Table of Confusion for Fraud Model M1Fraud .   Formula 2 : Accuracy for model M1Fraud   With an accuracy of 98.0 % model M1Fraud appears to perform fairly well . The paradox lies in the fact that accuracy can be easily improved to 98.5 % by always predicting `` no fraud '' . The table of confusion and the accuracy for this trivial `` always predict negative '' model M2Fraud and the accuracy of this model are shown below .   Table 2 : Table of Confusion for Fraud Model M2Fraud .   Formula 3 : Accuracy for model M2Fraud   Model M2Fraudreduces the rate of inaccurate predictions from 2 % to 1.5 % . This is an apparent improvement of 25 % . The new model M2Fraud shows fewer incorrect predictions and markedly improved accuracy , as compared to the original model M1Fraud , but is obviously useless .   The alternative model M2Fraud does not offer any value to the company for preventing fraud . The less accurate model is more useful than the more accurate model .   Model improvements should not be measured in terms of accuracy gains . It may be going too far to say that accuracy is irrelevant , but caution is advised when using accuracy in the evaluation of predictive models .

neg: Formula One Championship Edition Formula One Championship Edition is a racing video game , developed by SCE Studio Liverpool and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation 3 . The game follows the basic structure of Formula One 06 for the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable . The main differences include the updated visuals for the PS3 including a lot more detail , Sixaxis compatibility , real time reflections , car reflections on wet circuits and new wet weather effects . It was announced early in development that the safety car would be included in the game for the first time in an F1 game since Formula One 99 for the PlayStation . However , it was removed before the final release along with the PSP wing mirror integration shown at E3 .   The game also boasts dynamic weather , and improved AI . The AI system is called `` Live Action Racing '' where one can pressure the opposition , causing them to make little mistakes such as running wide on corners , causing them to crash into other cars or spin off the road of their own accord . The AI will then try to seek opportunities to pass the player in a realistic manner .   The game is based on the early 2006 F1 season . Hence , Yuji Ide drives for Super Aguri when in reality he lost his super licence just 4 races into the '06 season , and Franck Montagny , then later Sakon Yamamoto took his seat . Other minor changes throughout the real 2006 season are also not represented .   In the career mode , players begin by running tests for one of three teams ( Toro Rosso , Super Aguri or Midland F1 ) at either the Silverstone , Magny Cours or Catalunya circuits . The tests given vary between the teams . When the player successfully completes the tests , they are given the role of test driver or race driver , depending on how well the player performed in the test . After performing well as a test driver , the player will become the second driver of the team . From there the player can compete in race weekends through many different roles . As a test driver the player will try out different car settings in practice , and as a driver the player will have track position targets to meet to keep the seat . The player 's performances are subject to review at several points during the season .   The initial release did not include force-feedback support , which is considered by many to be an important feature for simulation racing games used with driving wheel controllers . A subsequent update in early 2008 added force feedback . The game also lacks support for 1080i or 1080p output resolutions . Per the calendar , the Belgian Grand Prix is not included .   The game 's cover in the North America version ( as seen on the right ) features Fernando Alonso ( the defending world champion at that time in 2006 ) who drove for the Renault team , Jenson Button who drove for the Honda team and David Coulthard who drove for the Red Bull Racing team .   Like previous games , it featured in-game commentary from then ITV F1 commentators Martin Brundle and James Allen .

neg: Honda CR250R The Honda CR250R was a Honda racing dirt bike . The prototype was built in 1971 , but it was not until late 1972 that production of `` out of the box racers '' began . It was made available for sale to the general public in 1973 . The CR250 was produced for nearly 37 years , 2007 being the final year of production .   Chassis : Starting in 1997 , Honda started the first gen aluminum frames . The first gen frames were thick , rigid and were a big change from the previous steel frames . Then in 2000 , Honda came out with the second gen aluminum frame , which was less rigid . It also had a smaller and thinner twin-spar aluminum frame , which provided the rigidity decrease . That made for better handling . Then in 2002 , they came out with the third gen aluminum frame , which was thinner , and lighter . They kept the same frame with minor suspension changes until they stopped production of any 2-stroke in 2007 .


query: Quentin Tarantino was the lead actor in My Best Friend's Birthday.

pos: Quentin Tarantino Quentin Jerome Tarantino ( -LSB- ˌtærənˈtiːnoʊ -RSB- born March 27 , 1963 ) is an American director , writer , and actor . His films are characterized by nonlinear storylines , satirical subject matter , an aestheticization of violence , extended scenes of dialogue , ensemble casts consisting of established and lesser-known performers , references to popular culture , soundtracks primarily containing songs and score pieces from the 1960s to the 1980s , and features of neo-noir film . He is widely considered one of the greatest filmmakers of his generation .   His career began in the late 1980s , when he wrote and directed My Best Friend 's Birthday , the screenplay of which formed the basis for True Romance . In the early 1990s , he began his career as an independent filmmaker with the release of Reservoir Dogs in 1992 ; regarded as a classic and cult hit , it was called the `` Greatest Independent Film of All Time '' by Empire . Its popularity was boosted by his second film , Pulp Fiction ( 1994 ) , a black comedy crime film that was a major success both among critics and audiences . Judged the greatest film from 1983 -- 2008 by Entertainment Weekly , many critics and scholars have named it one of the most significant works of modern cinema . For his next effort , Tarantino paid homage to the blaxploitation films of the 1970s with Jackie Brown ( 1997 ) , an adaptation of the novel Rum Punch .   Kill Bill , a highly stylized `` revenge flick '' in the cinematic traditions of Kung fu films , Japanese martial arts , Spaghetti Westerns and Italian horror , followed six years later , and was released as two films : Volume 1 in 2003 and Volume 2 in 2004 . Tarantino directed Death Proof ( 2007 ) as part of a double feature with friend Robert Rodriguez , under the collective title Grindhouse . His long-postponed Inglourious Basterds , which tells the fictional alternate history story of two plots to assassinate Nazi Germany 's political leadership , was released in 2009 to positive reviews . After that came 2012 's critically acclaimed Django Unchained , a Western film set in the antebellum era of the Deep South . It became the highest-grossing film of his career so far , making over $ 425 million at the box office . His eighth film , the mystery Western The Hateful Eight , was released in its roadshow version December 25 , 2015 , in 70 mm film format , complete with opening `` overture '' and halfway-point intermission , after the fashion of big-budget films of the 1960s and early 1970s .   Tarantino 's films have garnered both critical and commercial success . He has received many industry awards , including two Academy Awards , two Golden Globe Awards , two BAFTA Awards and the Palme d'Or , and has been nominated for an Emmy and a Grammy . He was named one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World by Time in 2005 . Filmmaker and historian Peter Bogdanovich has called him `` the single most influential director of his generation '' . In December 2015 , Tarantino received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for his contributions to the film industry .

neg: Gary Cooper filmography The filmography of Gary Cooper chronicles the film appearances of American actor Gary Cooper . After starting his career in 1925 as a film extra and stuntman , Cooper made his official cinematic debut in 1926 in the Samuel Goldwyn production The Winning of Barbara Worth . He went on to become a contract player with Paramount Pictures where he established himself as a popular leading man prior to the end of the silent film era .   Cooper 's future in the sound era was assured with the release of The Virginian ( 1929 ) , his first all-talkie film . For the next 32 years , he would be one of cinema 's top money-making stars . From 1936 to 1957 , Cooper ranked 18 times among the top ten box office attractions -- a record when he died in 1961 , and later surpassed only by John Wayne , who ranked among the top ten 25 times , Clint Eastwood ( 21 times ) and Tom Cruise ( 20 times ) .   Cooper was nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award five times and won twice , for Sergeant York ( 1942 ) and High Noon ( 1952 ) . The latter film boosted his popularity , resulting in him being the number one box office attraction in 1953 . Cooper received a third Academy Award -- an honorary one -- just prior to his death in 1961 . His final film , The Naked Edge , was released shortly after his death .   As of February 2008 , more than half of Gary Cooper 's feature films are available on DVD , while others not yet on home video are available for television broadcast . Unfortunately , at least two of his silent films -- Beau Sabreur ( 1928 ) and The Legion of the Condemned ( 1928 ) -- are now considered lost films . Another of his silent films , Wolf Song ( 1929 ) , was originally released as a part talkie , but survives only as a silent film . One of Cooper 's earliest talkies , Paramount on Parade ( 1930 ) , survives incomplete . The prints that are available for television are missing all but one of the film 's Technicolor scenes -- a partial restoration of these scenes was done by the UCLA Film Archives .   This filmography contains sections for Cooper 's work as an extra in the earliest part of his film career , his feature film appearances , his occasional appearances in short films , and a section for a compilation film . Due to its length ( 92 films ) , the listing of his feature films is divided in four sections . Cooper 's film roles are listed , as well as the names of each film 's director and co-stars . Cooper 's awards and nominations are also listed . Except where noted , all of his films were shot in 35mm black and white . All films released prior to Lilac Time ( 1928 ) are silent films and all from The Virginian ( 1929 ) onward are sound films .

Since the band 's formation in 1989 , its line-up remained unchanged until the firing of Weiland in 2013 , who was replaced by Linkin Park vocalist Chester Bennington .

In 2016 , the band launched an online audition for a new lead vocalist .   After forming in 1989 under the name Mighty Joe Young , the band signed with Atlantic Records and changed its name to Stone Temple Pilots . The band found immediate success in 1993 upon releasing their debut album , Core ( 1992 ) , and went on to become one of the most commercially successful bands of the 1990s .
