It will have a retractable roof and a capacity of 35,000 people. The stadium will be designed and built by HKS Architec... |
100_1 | Background |
100_2 | In early 2016, Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) team the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters began considering constructing a new stadium in or around Sapporo. Since first relocating to Sapporo from Tokyo in 2004, the Fighters have played their home games in Sapporo Dome, a multi-purpose stadium. Instead of being owned and ... |
100_3 | stadium. The team was considering 15 to 20 sites in Hokkaido as candidates to build their new ballpark, including the campus of Hokkaido University in Kita-ku, Sapporo, the Makomanai district in Minami-ku, Sapporo, and the planned "Kitahiroshima Sports Park" site in Kitahiroshima, a Sapporo suburb. |
100_4 | In December 2016, NPB announced that it set up a task force in collaboration with Nippon Ham to further the new stadium project and have a firm plan in place by March 2018. The following day, the mayor of Kitahiroshima met team representatives to propose its sports park concept. It offered up 20 of the 36 hectares at i... |
100_5 | University and 13 hectares Toyohira-ku; both sites, however, were quickly deemed unusable due to various circumstances. With negotiations with Kitahiroshima continuing, Sapporo offered a third site by the end of 2017—Makomanai Park. The city proposed redevelopeding 20 hectares of the park into a baseball campus that in... |
100_6 | As planned, a decision was made the following March with Kitahiroshima's Sports Park site being chosen as the home of the Fighters' new ballpark. Concerns regarding the conservation of Makomanai Park's natural environment and opposition from local residents played a part in the decision not to redevelop the area. Furth... |
100_7 | The Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters and Major League Baseball's (MLB) Texas Rangers announced a partnership agreement in early 2018. At the time, the Rangers were constructing a new ballpark, Globe Life Field, and they advised the Fighters on their plans to build their new stadium in Hokkaido. Nippon Ham revealed the basi... |
100_8 | The ground breaking ceremony for the stadium was held on April 13, 2020. With the stadium planned to be operational for the 2023 NPB season, the Fighters hoped to host opening day at their new facility. The team scheduled to hold the opening day game that year, the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles, agreed to transfer the g... |
100_9 | In addition to being only the fifth grass field in NPB, it will also be only field other than Mazda Stadium to have an asymmetrical outfield wall. Sapporo Dome, which is also used as a soccer stadium, has approximately twice as much foul territory as other NPB stadiums. In comparison, ES CON Field's field of play will ... |
100_10 | A five-story building dubbed "Tower 11" for the number that both Yu Darvish and Shohei Ohtani wore during their tenures with the Fighters will stand beyond the left field seats. The facility includes seating, a bar, an onsen hot spring sauna, and a hotel, and is planned to be open year-round including on non-game days.... |
100_11 | The stadium would also feature 2 86x16 video displays on each stand on 1st and 3rd base.
On the main entrance at the 1st base side would be a plaza named Fighters Legend Square, a symbol of continuity of the past and future. It would have "Ebetsu Bricks" engraved of names of fans and legends of the Fighters like Sho N... |
100_12 | ES-CON Japan, aside from getting the naming rights, would also build a luxury apartment named "Le Jade Hokkaido Ball Park", which would be 2 14-story high rise residences. Residents will also be given a free 10 year annual pass to the stadium.
ES CON Field will have one of the largest indoor and outdoor playgrounds wh... |
100_13 | A miniature version of the ballpark would be built outside in F Village. It would be built because they hope that "a future Fighter" would born from the children that would play at the miniature park.
The stadium would also have a wide concourse with an uninterrupted view of the field.
The stadium would also have VIP... |
100_14 | Access
Currently, Kita-Hiroshima Station on Hokkaido Railway Company's Chitose Line is the closest train station to the stadium. In anticipation of the opening of ES CON Field in 2023, the west exit of the station is being expanded and a shuttle bus terminal is being added to provide access directly to the stadium from... |
101_0 | Jean-Marc Prouveur (born 17 December 1956, Saint-Quentin, France) is a French artist and filmmaker. He attended L'Ecole de Beaux-Arts in Cambrai.
A seminal figure in the vanguard of London's Punk movement of the 1970's, Prouveur has always moved with the times. His work is owned by the Hungarian National Gallery, Bud... |
101_1 | For much of the 1980s Prouveur worked independently in the photographic medium, creating artworks characterized by the "outlaw sexuality" of the male nude, punctuated by religious iconography, showing in London, Paris, New York City, Amsterdam, Rome and many other cities worldwide. He acknowledges artistic precedents ... |
101_2 | Back in 2004, it may have been a surprise to some when Legionnaires upset releases from bigger studios to walk away with the GAYVN Award for Best Foreign Release. But for fans who have been following Liquid London's rise since it started in 1992, the accolades were long overdue.
The studio is the passion of Jean-Marc ... |
101_3 | Prouveur has a natural affection for the male body, and his undoubted photographic talents aided him in transforming that love to photography and video. Liquid London started making art house films then softcore releases, but when laws in the United Kingdom changed in 1999, the studio entered the hardcore realm. And wi... |
101_4 | The Italian "new wave" from the 1960s - which included directors Bernardo Bertolucci and Federico Fellini - also had an influence, followed by the exciting new generation of filmmakers from Spain (like Pedro Almodovar) and Britain (Danny Boyle).
"So many films stand out for their sheer magic and their power to transpo... |
101_5 | Prouveur believes that adult films are no different from any other genre, and therefore ought to have a comprehensive storyline to carry the viewer along within its erotic universe. "The films in general are either based on real-life characters, such as in Gamins d'Auvergne - where Jean-Marc has sought inspiration from... |

His father, a lawyer and amateur painter, committed suicide when Cocteau was nine. From 1900 to 1904, Cocteau attended the Lycée Condorcet where he met an... |
107_4 | In his early twenties, Cocteau became associated with the writers Marcel Proust, André Gide, and Maurice Barrès. In 1912, he collaborated with Léon Bakst on Le Dieu bleu for the Ballets Russes; the principal dancers being Tamara Karsavina and Vaslav Nijinsky. During World War I, Cocteau served in the Red Cross as an am... |
107_5 | An important exponent of avant-garde art, Cocteau had great influence on the work of others, including a group of composers known as Les six. In the early twenties, he and other members of Les six frequented a wildly popular bar named Le Boeuf sur le Toit, a name that Cocteau himself had a hand in picking. The populari... |
107_6 | In 1918 he met the French poet Raymond Radiguet. They collaborated extensively, socialized, and undertook many journeys and vacations together. Cocteau also got Radiguet exempted from military service. Admiring of Radiguet's great literary talent, Cocteau promoted his friend's works in his artistic circle and arranged ... |
107_7 | There is disagreement over Cocteau's reaction to Radiguet's sudden death in 1923, with some claiming that it left him stunned, despondent and prey to opium addiction. Opponents of that interpretation point out that he did not attend the funeral (he generally did not attend funerals) and immediately left Paris with Diag... |
107_8 | moment-to-moment experiences of drug withdrawal and his current thoughts about people and events in his world. Cocteau was supported throughout his recovery by his friend and correspondent, Catholic philosopher Jacques Maritain. Under Maritain's influence Cocteau made a temporary return to the sacraments of the Catholi... |
107_9 | Further works
On 15 June 1926 Cocteau's play Orphée was staged in Paris. It was quickly followed by an exhibition of drawings and "constructions" called Poésie plastique–objets, dessins. Cocteau wrote the libretto for Igor Stravinsky's opera-oratorio Oedipus rex, which had its original performance in the Théâtre Sarah ... |
107_10 | In 1930 Cocteau made his first film The Blood of a Poet, publicly shown in 1932. Though now generally accepted as a surrealist film, the surrealists themselves did not accept it as a truly surrealist work. Although this is one of Cocteau's best known works, his 1930s are notable rather for a number of stage plays, abov... |
107_11 | Biographer James S. Williams describes Cocteau's politics as "naturally Right-leaning." During the Nazi occupation of France, he
was in a "round-table" of French and German intellectuals who met at the Georges V Hotel in Paris, including Cocteau, the writers Ernst Jünger, Paul Morand and Henry Millon de Montherlant, t... |
107_12 | In 1940, Le Bel Indifférent, Cocteau's play written for and starring Édith Piaf (who died the day before Cocteau), was enormously successful.
Later years
Cocteau's later years are mostly associated with his films. Cocteau's films, most of which he both wrote and directed, were particularly important in introducing the... |
ConTEB - MLDR (evaluation)
This dataset is part of ConTEB (Context-aware Text Embedding Benchmark), designed for evaluating contextual embedding model capabilities. It stems from the widely used MLDR dataset.
Dataset Summary
MLDR consists of long documents, associated to existing sets of question-answer pairs. To build the corpus, we start from the pre-existing collection documents, extract the text, and chunk them (using LangChain's RecursiveCharacterSplitter with a threshold of 1000 characters). Since chunking is done a posteriori without considering the questions, chunks are not always self-contained and eliciting document-wide context can help build meaningful representations. We use GPT-4o to annotate which chunk, among the gold document, best contains information needed to answer the query.
This dataset provides a focused benchmark for contextualized embeddings. It includes a set of original documents, chunks stemming from them, and queries.
- Number of Documents: 100
- Number of Chunks: 1536
- Number of Queries: 100
- Average Number of Tokens per Chunk: 164.2
Dataset Structure (Hugging Face Datasets)
The dataset is structured into the following columns:
documents: Contains chunk information:"chunk_id": The ID of the chunk, of the formdoc-id_chunk-id, wheredoc-idis the ID of the original document andchunk-idis the position of the chunk within that document."chunk": The text of the chunk
queries: Contains query information:"query": The text of the query."answer": The answer relevant to the query, from the original dataset."chunk_id": The ID of the chunk that the query is related to, of the formdoc-id_chunk-id, wheredoc-idis the ID of the original document andchunk-idis the position of the chunk within that document.
