Question: Joseph really felt very happy. When he arrived at his seat in the classroom that morning, he found an invitation on his desk. It was from several of his classmates asking him to join them on a camping trip. This was the first time he was asked to join in an out-of school activity. Why were they asking him now? Nobody seemed to like him. In fact, he had been so lonely _ . As a result, he had put on a lot of weight, and this gave the kids something more to make fun of him. Celina, who was standing near Joseph when he read the invitation, went out quickly to tell the others that the trick had worked. Everyone was pleased that Joseph thought that was true. But there was no camping trip. The whole thing was made up. At first, Celina thought it was fun. But later, when Joseph told her that he was going to buy a sleeping bag with his savings, Celina had a second idea. She knew that Joseph's family had little money, and she hated to see him spend his savings on something he would never use. Celina also hated to tell Joseph the truth. Her close friends would be angry with her. What could she do now? 1. What was on the desk?
2. From whom?
3. Did his family have a lot of money?
4. Where was he invited to go?
5. Did they usually ask him to go places?
6. Was he well liked?
7. Was the invite real?
8. Did Celina think it was funny?
9. When did she think it was no longer fun?
10. Was Joseph lonely?
11. Who was standing near when he got to his desk?
12. Where did she go?
13. Why? Provide a numbered list of answers.

Question: CHAPTER XIX 

WHAT HAPPENED TO TOM AND SAM 

Let us return to Tom and Sam, at the time they were left alone at Binoto's hostelry. 

"I wish we had gone with Dick and Uncle Randolph," said Tom, as he slipped into his coat and shoes. "I don't like this thing at all." 

"Oh, don't get scared before you are hurt, Tom!" laughed his younger brother. "These people out here may be peculiar, but --" 

Sam did not finish. A loud call from the woods had reached his ears, and in alarm he too began to dress, at the same time reaching for his pistol and the money belt which Randolph Rover had left behind. 

"I -- I guess something is wrong," he went on, after a pause. "If we -" 

"Tom! Sam! look out fo' yourselves!" came from Aleck, and in a second more the negro, burst on their view. "Come, if yo' is dressed!" he added. 

"Where to?" asked Tom hurriedly. 

"Anywhar, Massah Tom. De others is took prisoners! Come!" And Aleck almost dragged the boy along. 

The Rover boys could readily surmise that Aleck would not act in this highly excited manner unless there was good cause for it. Consequently, as Sam said afterward, "They didn't stand on the order of their going, but just flew." Pell-mell out of the hostelry they tumbled, and ran up the highway as rapidly as their nimble limbs would permit. 

They heard several men coming after them, and heard the command "Halt!" yelled after them in both French and bad English. But they did not halt until a sudden tumble on Tom's part made the others pause in dismay.  1. Was Tom getting undressed?
2. Who was he talking to?

Question: The Mathematics Genealogy Project is a web-based database for the academic genealogy of mathematicians. By 24 April 2017, it contained information on 211,735 mathematical scientists who contributed to research-level mathematics. For a typical mathematician, the project entry includes graduation year, thesis title, "alma mater", doctoral advisor, and doctoral students. 

The project grew out of founder Harry Coonce's desire to know the name of his advisor's advisor. Coonce was Professor of Mathematics at Minnesota State University, Mankato, at the time of the project's founding, and the project went online there in fall 1997. Coonce retired from Mankato in 1999, and in fall 2002 the university decided that it would no longer support the project. The project relocated at that time to North Dakota State University. Since 2003, the project has also operated under the auspices of the American Mathematical Society and in 2005 it received a grant from the Clay Mathematics Institute. Harry Coonce has been assisted by Mitchel T. Keller, Assistant Professor at Washington and Lee University. Dr Keller is currently the Managing Director of the project. 

The Mathematics Genealogy Mission statement states, "Throughout this project when we use the word "mathematics" or "mathematician" we mean that word in a very inclusive sense. Thus, all relevant data from statistics, computer science, philosophy or operations research is welcome." 1. What is the Mathematics Genealogy Project?
2. How many mathematical scientists?
3. By when?
4. Who is the founder?
5. What did he want to know?
6. What was his job?
7. When did the project go online?
8. when did he retire?
9. What happened in the fall of 2002?
10. did the project move?
11. To where?
12. What  name has it worked under since 2003?
13. Did it receive a grant?
14. From whom?
15. when?
16. Who has been helping Coonce?
17. What's his job?
18. What is his job now?
19. Do they welcome all research? Provide a numbered list of answers.
