question: The diplomatic history of the United States oscillated among three positions: isolation from diplomatic entanglements of other  nations ; alliances with European and other military partners; and unilateralism, or operating on its own sovereign policy decisions. The US always was large in terms of area, but its population was small, only 4 million in 1790.  Population growth was rapid, reaching 7.2 million in 1810, 32 million in 1860, 76 million in 1900, 132 million in 1940, and 316 million in 2013.  Economic growth in terms of overall GDP was even faster. However, the nation's military strength was quite limited  in peacetime before 1940.
Answer this question: How many millions of people did the population increase by from 1810 to 1900?
answer: 68.8
Coming off of their Bye, the Chargers traveled to M&T Bank Stadium to take on the Baltimore Ravens.  The Chargers drew first blood as QB Philip Rivers completed a 31-yard TD pass to WR Malcom Floyd.  However, the Ravens would tie the game up with QB Steve McNair completing a 5-yard TD pass to TE Daniel Wilcox.  In the second quarter, kicker Nate Kaeding would give the Chargers some comfort, as he kicked a 34-yard and a 54-yard field goal (a then career long) to give San Diego the lead at halftime. After a scoreless third quarter, the Ravens slowly started to climb back.  Late in the fourth quarter, after giving Baltimore an intentional safety (instead of punting deep from their own end zone), the Chargers hoped that their defense could hold up and prevent any chance of a comeback.  Unfortunately, McNair led the offense throughout the closing minutes and scored the game-winning touchdown with a 10-yard TD pass to TE Todd Heap.  With their loss, the Chargers fell to 2-1.

What was the longest TD pass?
A: 31-yard TD pass
Q: The relationship between the Ottomans and the Mamluks had been adversarial since the Fall of Constantinople to the Ottomans in 1453; both states vied for control of the spice trade, and the Ottomans aspired to eventually taking control of the Holy Cities of Islam. An earlier conflict, which lasted from 1485 to 1491, had led to a stalemate. By 1516, the Ottomans were free from other concerns—Sultan Selim I had just vanquished the Safavid Persians at the Battle of Chaldiran in 1514—and turned their full might against the Mamluks, who ruled in Syria and Egypt, to complete the Ottoman conquest of the Middle East.
Which two things did the Ottomans aspired to eventually take control of?

A: the spice trade
