Tian Tian, the UK's only female giant panda, has conceived and could give birth to a cub as early as August. However Edinburgh Zoo, where the pandas live, have warned people 'not to get too excited' as the process is 'extremely complex'. Moreover, on the two previous occasions keepers inseminated Tian Tian - whose name means 'Sweetie' - she has failed to produce a panda cub. She was artificially inseminated again in March this year, but keepers at the zoo say implantation - when a fertilised egg attaches to the uterus - has not yet occurred.Tian Tian has conceived and could give birth to a cub as early as AugustShe has been inseminated twice before but so far failed to produce a cubTian Tian and Yang Guang arrived in 2011 from China to great fanfareOn loan at £600k a year, became first giant pandas to live in UK for 17 years

Problem:A little girl's life is being saved by the power of social media.
"I had no faith that we'd find a kidney donor on Facebook but I sure as heck was going to try," Ashley Booth, mother of 2-year-old Arianna Moore, told GoodMorningAmerica.com.
Arianna has needed a kidney transplant since being diagnosed with Diffuse Mesangial Sclerosis right after birth. The disease is scarring her kidneys.
"At seven weeks old she became sick and her kidneys completely failed," said Booth, 27, of Pine City, Minn. "Hers happened faster than usual. Usually it progresses really slowly."
Courtesy Ashley Booth
Tiny Arianna has been on dialysis for 10 hours a day, every single day, for the majority of her life. But all that is about to change, thanks to a complete stranger who lives 1,500 miles away from the family.
Seeking Donor, Man Builds 5-Foot-Tall Kidney Snow Sculpture
When Christy Harding, of Jacksonville, Fla., came across the ALL4MOORE Facebook page that was supporting and following Arianna through her difficult health journey, she felt compelled to do something to help.
"One of my friends shared one of Arianna's pictures and it showed up on my timeline," said Harding, who has a 2-year-old daughter herself. "For some reason, I stopped and started thinking about it, and I just knew I had to make a phone call."
She contacted the living donor center at Arianna's children's hospital to make sure her type-O blood would be a match and, fortunately for the little girl, Harding was a perfect donor.
"Christy emailed me to let me know she was the one donating," Booth said. "I was in tears reading her email to me. It was pretty crazy. All I can do is cry every time I think about it."
Cancer Patient, 11, Inundated With Surprise Pizzas at Hospital
Despite having never met, Harding and Arianna, the lucky recipient of her kidney, are both undergoing surgery on May 7 in Minneapolis.
"I think if anyone was faced with the decision saying, 'Hey, you could save somebody's life,' I don't know many people who wouldn't," said Harding, 37, of her easy decision to donate. "We knew that if this were our 2-year-old, we would hope someone would do the same."
In addition to saving Arianna's life, however, Harding still had another surprise in store for the family. She set up a Go Fund Me page dedicated to raising money to send the Minnesota family to Disney World in Orlando, Fla., an experience Harding believes every family with young children should have.
"My family and I are big Disney fans," she said. "We are blessed enough to have season passes and take trips down there often. I know living in Minnesota, it's not the same for them. I made the assumption this isn't something they'd be able to do, but every child should have the chance."
What This Little Girl Who Survived Cancer Wants From You
In just one day of the page being created, $1,000 has already been raised towards the overall $12,000 goal.
"The outpouring of support has just been overwhelming," said Harding.
And as for Booth, she cannot even begin to fathom the kindness her family is receiving from a complete stranger.
"It's so amazing. We haven't even met her yet," said Booth. "I cannot wait for next Monday. I don't know if I'll be able to let of go of her once I hug her."
Editor's note: Disney is the parent company of both ABC News and Disney World. ||||| On May 7, 2014 swee Arianna Moore (on Facebook at All4Moore) will receive the kidney that will finally get her off dialysis and on her way to catching up with her twin sister.
Local News Covers Arianna's Story
S urgery will be just the beginning of her journey to recovery. Her family of six will be separated from each other for 2-3 months as she heals and they monitor her body's reaction to the new organ. This is going to be a very trying time for Arianna and her family.They have been going through a lot for 2 years (almost all of Arianna's life) and now they must brace themselves for the next chapter in Arianna's adventure--possibly the toughest chapter yet.What better way to celebrate than a family vacation to Disney World?!Please help us provide an all-expense paid escape for this beautiful family. ||||| It's not uncommon for patients who need donor organs to wait weeks, months or even years -- but it is a bit unusual to find a donor via Facebook like one Minnesota family did.
When she was just 7 weeks old, Arianna Moore's kidney failed. Two years later, she's going to be getting a new one thanks to the generosity of a woman who was a complete stranger until an online effort caught her eye.
Most people may never know by watching the rambunctious 2-year-old play with her twin sister, but she is in desperate need of a life-saving organ transplant.
"She makes it a little easier because she's so happy," Ashley Moore told Fox 9 News. "The hardest times are when she's sick."
Arianna Moore suffers from a rare genetic disorder that causes scarring of the kidney, and she must undergo 10 hours of dialysis each and every day.
"When I had her and they said, 'Her kidneys don't work,' I was like, "What do you mean? She's a baby,'" Ashley Moore recalled. "She was completely healthy at birth."
Now, she is 10 pounds lighter and about 4 inches shorter than her twin sister -- but she is looking toward a surgery that could put her on a track to good health.
A family member started a Facebook page to promote a benefit for the toddler, but that ended up bringing an even bigger dose of support for the family.
"I didn't feel confident finding a donor on Facebook when we couldn't even find it in our own family," Ashley Moore admitted.
Yet, a donor was found. A woman who was more than 1,500 miles away in Jacksonville, Fla., learned about Moore's condition and decided she had to help.
"I get really sad over sick children, so I usually skim those posts kind of quickly," Christy Harding said. "This is the first time that I've stopped."
Harding told Fox 9 News that something about Moore's story made her wonder if she could be a match. So, she began to undergo tests and eventually flew to the Twin Cities for a special blood test before contacting the family and offering to become a donor.
"I have a 2-year-old daughter, and that's probably one of the biggest reasons," Harding said. "When my husband and I were talking, we knew that if it were her, we would want everyone in the world to try and save her."
As for the Moores, they are deeply moved by a stranger's kindness.
"It's a big surgery, and she's doing it for a baby," Ashley Moore remarked. "She's never met our family."
Arianna Moore will get the kidney in a couple of weeks, a major surgical operation that will take about 7 hours -- but the generosity doesn't stop there. Harding is not only giving her kidney to the girl, but she has also started a fund in the hopes that it will generate enough money to send the entire Moore family to Florida for a Disney vacation once Arianna is fully recovered.

Solution: | A Minnesota toddler is getting a kidney next month thanks to a total stranger who stumbled onto a Facebook post, reports My Fox Twin Cities. Donor Christy Harding of Jacksonville, Florida, tells First Coast News that she happened onto a Facebook page seeking help for 2-year-old Arianna Moore. Harding has a 2-year-old daughter herself, so she paused to read the post. "It said, 'If you're Type-O blood, you could be her hero,' and I thought, 'I am type O blood," she recalls. Harding confirmed she was a match with Arianna's hospital, then told the girl's family she would do it. “I was in tears reading her email to me," Arianna's mom tells ABC News. "All I can do is cry every time I think about it." Surgery is scheduled for May 7, and in the meantime Harding has set up a GoFundMe page to send her new friend to Disney World after the surgery. |

Q: Havana, Cuba (CNN) Hurricane Irma, which devastated much of the Caribbean in September, has claimed a new victim: Raul Castro's succession plans. On Thursday, Cuban officials said the island was still dealing with the aftermath of the killer storm and needed to postpone long-held plans for Castro, 86, to retire on February 24, 2018, when his second five-year term ends.

Ques:A supermarket checkout operator was praised for striking a blow for modern manners and a return to the age of politeness after refusing to serve a shopper who was talking on her mobile phone. The supermarket manager was forced to apologize to the customer who complained she was told her goods would not be scanned unless she hung up her phone. Jo Clark, 46, said, "I don't know what she was playing at. I couldn't believe how rude she was. When did she have the right to give me a lecture on checkout manners? I won't be shopping there again!" But users of social media sites and Internet forums were very angry that store gave in and the public appeared to be supporting the angry checkout worker. "Perhaps this is a turning point for mobile phone users everywhere. When chatting, keep your eyes on people around you. That includes people trying to serve you, other road users and especially people behind you in the stairs," said a typical post. "It's time checkout staff fought back against these people constantly chatting on their phones. They can drive anyone crazy. It's rude and annoying. I often want to grab someone's phone and throw it as far as I can, even though I am not a checkout girl, just a passer-by," said another. Siobhan Freegard, founder of parenting site www. Netmums.com said, "While this checkout operator doesn't have the authority to order customers to switch off their phones, you can see clearly how frustrated and angry she felt.

Ques:Liz Parle can't drive. "I did try to learn," says the 24-year-old, Birmingham-born cafe owner, "but I failed my test a few times." Then she moved to London, where running a car can be a nightmare. Instead she cycles everywhere. "It's cheap, keeps me fit, and is of course better for the environment." _ In Britain, the percentage of 17- to 20-year-olds with driving licences fell from 48% in the early 1990s to 35% last year. The number of miles travelled by all forms of domestic transport has remained unchanged for years. Meanwhile, road traffic figures for cars and taxis, having risen more or less every year since 1949, have continued to fall since 2007. Motoring groups put it down to oil prices and the economy. Others offer a more fundamental explanation: the golden age of motoring is over. "The way we run cars is changing fast," says Tim Pollard, associate editor at CAR magazine, "Car manufacturers are worried that younger people in particular don't like to own cars like we used to in the 70s, 80s, or even the 90s, they were owning things for shorter periods. As hi-tech research and development budgets try to keep pace with the iPhone generation, Pollard says carmakers are also coming to terms with less possessive buyers. This has led to a different ownership and rental schemes such as Streetcar, Zipcar and Whipcar. In response, the latest deals from the big carmakers are very unlike your usual deals. "Peugeot , for instance, has launched a European project called Mu," says Pollard. "You become a member and can then rent whichever Peugeot best suits your mobility needs that day. So you can borrow a truck to move house at the weekend.' Other car manufacturers are studying similar ideas. What measures will carmakers take to deal with the situation mentioned in the passage? A) They will improve the quality of the cars. B) They will lower the prices of the cars. C) They will give the car buyers more gifts, such as iPhone. D) They will open more rental services of cars in the future.

Ques:Baby sign language is a growing movement. Pointing to a color1ful flower, Campbell lifts her baby's soft hand, and rapidly moves it from one side of his nose to the other as she sniffs ."Flower!" she says loudly. Gregory smiles and looks carefully. It could be a year before Gregory, 4 months old, can speak, but now his mother hopes to communicate with her baby through sign language. Like others around the world, Campbell is part of a growing movement of parents teaching hearing babies simple signs to communicate before they can talk. The baby sign language has been more popular in recent years. The movie,"Meet the Fockers",where the main character teaches his young grandson to sign, makes it well developed. Babies generally begin to talk between 12 and 15 months, but babies can use sign language to communicate before they learn how to speak. "We know they are learning language faster than they are able to show you with their speech production because that system takes a long time to develop." says McRoberts, director of developmental research at the Haskins Laboratories. "They are understanding words before they are able to say them. From around 16 to 18 months, they might say 50 words but understand 200.They understand short sentences well." says McRoberts. Studies have shown deaf children learn to use sign language earlier than hearing children learn to speak meaningfully. As to whether hearing babies can communicate earlier with sign language, McRoberts says,"I think that's still unknown. It may not. I'm very interested in that very question." Which of the following does McRoberts agree with? A) Babies learn to talk quickly. B) Babies can understand more words than they can say. C) Hearing babies can communicate earlier. D) Deaf babies understand short sentences well.

In this task, you are given a question and a context passage. You have to answer the question based on the given passage.
Q: The name the "La Brea Tar Pits" is ironic because it is made up of what?, Context: Asphalt/bitumen can sometimes be confused with "coal tar", which is a visually similar black, thermoplastic material produced by the destructive distillation of coal. During the early and mid-20th century when town gas was produced, coal tar was a readily available byproduct and extensively used as the binder for road aggregates. The addition of tar to macadam roads led to the word tarmac, which is now used in common parlance to refer to road-making materials. However, since the 1970s, when natural gas succeeded town gas, asphalt/bitumen has completely overtaken the use of coal tar in these applications. Other examples of this confusion include the La Brea Tar Pits and the Canadian oil sands, both of which actually contain natural bitumen rather than tar. Pitch is another term sometimes used at times to refer to asphalt/bitumen, as in Pitch Lake.
A: | natural bitumen rather than tar |
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has said he is prepared to receive detainees held by the US military at the Guantanamo Bay camp in Cuba. US President Barack Obama has ordered the closure of the controversial camp, in which around 240 inmates are held, by next year. Mr Chavez made his offer at a summit of South American and Arab countries. It is highly unlikely the Pentagon will take him up on it, however, given the poor state of US ties with Venezuela.

In this task, you are given a question and a context passage. You have to answer the question based on the given passage.
neurons talk each other through, Context: The brain is an organ that serves as the center of the nervous system in all vertebrate and most invertebrate animals. Only a few invertebrates such as sponges, jellyfish, adult sea squirts and starfish do not have a brain; diffuse or localised nerve nets are present instead. The brain is located in the head, usually close to the primary sensory organs for such senses as vision, hearing, balance, taste, and smell. The brain is the most complex organ in a vertebrate's body. In a typical human, the cerebral cortex (the largest part) is estimated to contain 15–33 billion neurons, each connected by synapses to several thousand other neurons. These neurons communicate with one another by means of long protoplasmic fibers called axons, which carry trains of signal pulses called action potentials to distant parts of the brain or body targeting specific recipient cells.

Which company was being sued in 1999 by Schwarzenegger for making claims regarding his steroid use?, Context: In 1999, Schwarzenegger sued Dr. Willi Heepe, a German doctor who publicly predicted his early death on the basis of a link between his steroid use and his later heart problems. As the doctor had never examined him personally, Schwarzenegger collected a US$10,000 libel judgment against him in a German court. In 1999, Schwarzenegger also sued and settled with The Globe, a U.S. tabloid which had made similar predictions about the bodybuilder's future health.

4 White Supremacists Face Federal Charges In California Attacks
Enlarge this image toggle caption Elijah Nouvelage/Getty Images Elijah Nouvelage/Getty Images
Four Southern California men, allegedly part of a white supremacist group, have been charged by federal prosecutors for violent attacks on counterprotesters, journalists and a police officer at political rallies across the state.
Three of the four are in custody.
The New York Times reports that Robert Rundo, 28 was taken into custody on Sunday at the Los Angeles International Airport after fleeing to Central America earlier this month.
Robert Boman, 25, and Tyler Laube, 22, were arrested Wednesday morning. Authorities are searching for the fourth man — Aaron Eason, 38.
The criminal complaint, filed by the FBI out of Los Angeles on Saturday and unsealed on Wednesday, alleges the four are part of the white supremacist Rise Above Movement.
RAM subscribes to a racist, anti-Semitic ideology and trains its members in combat. The group "represents itself publicly as a combat-ready, militant group of a new nationalist white supremacy/identity movement," the complaint says.
"The allegations describe an orchestrated effort to squelch free speech as members of the conspiracy traveled to multiple locations to attack those who hold different views," said U.S. Attorney Nick Hanna in a news release.
Videos recorded by journalists, bystanders and surveillance cameras, as well as posts on the Internet from the group's members and private social media communications between them, helped the Department of Justice build its case.
The DOJ alleges the four men violated federal conspiracy and riot statutes in a series of incidents from March to June of 2017.
At a Make America Great Again rally in Huntington Beach in March, the DOJ said in its criminal complaint, members of RAM attacked two journalists and a number of counterprotesters.
Video footage shows Laube punched one journalist three times in the face, after the reporter was jostled by other rally attendees and stumbled backwards.
The Daily Stormer — a neo-Nazi website and online community — praised the violence. "Front page of the stormer we did it fam," one RAM member texted another.
In the weeks after the attacks, members allegedly gleefully celebrated the attacks and recruited others to attend an upcoming rally in Berkeley, as well as a training session in hand-to-hand combat before the gathering.
At that April rally, Rundo, Boman and Easaon assaulted people at the rally. Videos show group members with taped hands — like boxers — punching counterprotesters. In one attack, a RAM member held down a counterprotester while another landed punches. Rundo was arrested for punching a "defenseless person" and a police officer.
"Total Aryan victory," a RAM member texted another member the next day.
RAM members again celebrated their assaults, according to the complaint. They posted photos of members holding up a banner celebrating they stole from counterprotesters. On social media, Boman posted several photos of himself attacking others and of RAM members engaged in combat training.
In June, the white supremacists attended an "Anti-Islamic Law" rally in San Bernardino, where they carried out more attacks. Three RAM members not indicted in this case were arrested.
Wednesday's charges follows the arrests earlier this month of another four RAM members — Benjamin Daley, Michael Miselis, Thomas Gillen and Cole White — who were charged on conspiracy to riot charges for attacking counterprotesters during last year's Unite The Right rally in Charlottesville, Va.
The California charges describe connections between both sets of defendants.
Between April and August of 2017, the complaint alleges, RAM members "engaged in regular combat training sessions" before attending the Unite the Right rally.
They also "used the internet to coordinate combat training in preparation for the events, to arrange travel to the events, to coordinate attendance at the events, and to celebrate their acts of violence in order to recruit members for future events," the complaint said.
Members documented their extremist ideology in public Internet posts, including their affinity of the "14 words" — "a mantra known and used by white supremacy extremists and neo-Nazis," FBI Special Agent Scott Bierwirth said in the complaint.
Also according to the California affidavit, Rundo and two men charged in the Charlottesville case flew to Europe last spring to celebrate Adolf Hitler's birthday. There, they met with other white supremacy groups. ||||| WASHINGTON — The F.B.I. arrested the leader of a violent California neo-Nazi gang on a federal conspiracy charge after he fled the country earlier this month.
Robert Rundo, 28, of Huntington Beach, Calif., is being held at the federal jail in downtown Los Angeles. He was charged in a criminal complaint that was unsealed Tuesday.
Mr. Rundo apparently crossed into Mexico two weeks ago from California and then made his way to Central America. He was later brought back to the United States, where he was arrested Sunday at Los Angeles International Airport, according to two people familiar with the case who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.
He is the founder of the Rise Above Movement, a neo-Nazi gang based in Southern California whose members were involved in violent activity at protests throughout California in 2017. He and three other Californians associated with the group — Robert Boman, 25, Tyler Laube, 22, and Aaron Eason, 38 — were charged with inciting riots, according to court documents. Mr. Boman and Mr. Laube were arrested on Tuesday morning in Southern California. The F.B.I. said it was still searching for Mr. Eason. ||||| Image copyright Reuters Image caption Robert Rundo was said to have been at the Charlottesville event last year that shocked the nation
The leader of a white supremacist group based in California has been arrested and charged with inciting riots.
Robert Rundo, co-founder of the Rise Above Movement, was arrested at LA International Airport on Sunday.
Three others have also been charged, one of whom remains at large.
The four are accused of travelling to events across California and to one in Charlottesville, Virginia, last year that led to the death of a woman and shocked the nation.
Earlier this month, four other members of the Rise Above Movement were charged with attacking counter-protesters at the Unite the Right march in Charlottesville in August 2017.
A woman died after a man drove into a crowd of counter-protesters.
The New York Times says Mr Rundo, 28, had crossed into Mexico and was "brought back" to the United States to be arrested at LA airport.
Fellow Rise Above Movement members Robert Boman, 25, and Tyler Laube, 22, were arrested on Wednesday while Aaron Eason, 38, remains at large.
The US Attorney's Office alleges they acted with "intent to incite, organise, promote, encourage, participate in, or carry on riots".
Three of the four, including Mr Rundo, are accused of attacking counter-protesters and journalists at a Make America Great Again rally in Huntington Beach, California, in March.
Mr Rundo is alleged to have assaulted two protesters, while Mr Laube allegedly punched a journalist in the face.
Mr Rundo travelled to Europe earlier this year with two of those already charged in the Charlottesville case to celebrate the birthday of Adolf Hitler. ||||| | Four members of a California-based white supremacist group said to promote racism and fighting have been charged with inciting violence at protests throughout California last year.

When American 11 struck the World Trade Center at 8:46, no one in the White House or traveling with the President knew that it had been hijacked. While that information circulated within the FAA, we found no evidence that the hijacking was reported to any other agency in Washington before 8:46. Most federal agencies learned about the crash in New York from CNN. Within the FAA, the administrator, Jane Garvey, and her acting deputy, Monte Belger, had not been told of a confirmed hijacking before they learned from television that a plane had crashed. Others in the agency were aware of it, as we explained earlier in this chapter. Inside the National Military Command Center, the deputy director of operations and his assistant began notifying senior Pentagon officials of the incident. At about 9:00, the senior NMCC operations officer reached out to the FAA operations center for information. Although the NMCC was advised of the hijacking of American 11, the scrambling of jets was not discussed. In Sarasota, Florida, the presidential motorcade was arriving at the Emma E. Booker Elementary School, where President Bush was to read to a class and talk about education. White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card told us he was standing with the President outside the classroom when Senior Advisor to the President Karl Rove first informed them that a small, twin-engine plane had crashed into the World Trade Center. The President's reaction was that the incident must have been caused by pilot error. At 8:55, before entering the classroom, the President spoke to National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice, who was at the White House. She recalled first telling the President it was a twin-engine aircraft-and then a commercial aircraft-that had struck the World Trade Center, adding "that's all we know right now, Mr. President." At the White House, Vice President Dick Cheney had just sat down for a meeting when his assistant told him to turn on his television because a plane had struck the NorthTower of the World Trade Center. The Vice President was wondering "How the hell could a plane hit the World Trade Center" when he saw the second aircraft strike the South Tower. Elsewhere in the White House, a series of 9:00 meetings was about to begin. In the absence of information that the crash was anything other than an accident, the White House staff monitored the news as they went ahead with their regular schedules. <sep>Which federal government agencies knew that American 11 had been hijacked before it struck the World Trade Center and how did most of them find out what had happened?<sep>Emma's Book School

Aaron Cook insists he has no regrets about turning his back on Great Britain as he seeks to make up for his London 2012 snub and book his place at next year's Rio Olympics. Cook, who accepted an offer to become a Moldovan citizen in April, could face former GB rival Lutalo Muhammad in the -80kg semi-finals at the European Games in Baku on Thursday. Muhammad was controversially preferred to Cook for London and won a bronze medal, prompting the then world number one to quit the national camp and represent the former Soviet Republic. Cook, who made his debut for his new nation in last month's World Championships when he lost in the last four to another Briton, Damon Sansum, said: 'The national anthem doesn't really mean that much to me any more.Aaron Cook switched from Great Britain to Moldova after London 2012Taekwondo star believes he was robbed in favour of Lutalo MuhammadWorld No 1 could face Muhammad again at the European Games

(CNN) President Donald Trump appeared to take credit for the decision of major Gulf nations to cut diplomatic relations with Qatar, an important US ally, putting his stamp of approval on the move despite Pentagon and State Department attempts to remain neutral. "During my recent trip to the Middle East I stated that there can no longer be funding of Radical Ideology. Leaders pointed to Qatar - look," he tweeted Tuesday. The tweet could pose difficulties for the US in explaining why it remains in Qatar, host to the one of the Pentagon's largest military bases in the Middle East and a linchpin in the campaign against ISIS.

[Q]: More than 100,000 people have been evacuated and thousands of properties destroyed, after rare torrential rains saw a major river burst its banks north of Tokyo in Japan on Thursday.

Input: American Airlines Flight 11: FAA Awareness. Although the Boston Center air traffic controller realized at an early stage that there was something wrong with American 11, he did not immediately interpret the plane's failure to respond as a sign that it had been hijacked. At 8:14, when the flight failed to heed his instruction to climb to 35,000 feet, the controller repeatedly tried to raise the flight. He reached out to the pilot on the emergency frequency. Though there was no response, he kept trying to contact the aircraft. At 8:21, American 11 turned off its transponder, immediately degrading the information available about the aircraft. The controller told his supervisor that he thought something was seriously wrong with the plane, although neither suspected a hijacking. The supervisor instructed the controller to follow standard procedures for handling a "no radio" aircraft. The controller checked to see if American Airlines could establish communication with American 11. He became even more concerned as its route changed, moving into another sector's airspace. Controllers immediately began to move aircraft out of its path, and asked other aircraft in the vicinity to look for American 11. At 8:24:38, the following transmission came from American 11: American 11: We have some planes. Just stay quiet, and you'll be okay. We are returning to the airport. The controller only heard something unintelligible; he did not hear the specific words "we have some planes." The next transmission came seconds later: American 11: Nobody move. Everything will be okay. If you try to make any moves, you'll endanger yourself and the airplane. <sep>Why did the FAA try to contact the aircraft?<sep>To find out if the hostages were okay
Output: | No |

New input: The Venetian artist Jacopo de' Barbari, whom Durer had met in Venice, visited Nuremberg in 1500, and Durer said that he learned much about the new developments in perspective, anatomy, and proportion from him. De' Barbari was unwilling to explain everything he knew, so Durer began his own studies, which would become a lifelong preoccupation. A series of extant drawings show Durer's experiments in human proportion, leading to the famous engraving of Adam and Eve (1504), which shows his subtlety while using the burin in the texturing of flesh surfaces. This is the only existing engraving signed with his full name. Durer made large numbers of preparatory drawings, especially for his paintings and engravings, and many survive, most famously the Betende Hande (English: Praying Hands, c. 1508 Albertina, Vienna), a study for an apostle in the Heller altarpiece. He also continued to make images in watercolour and bodycolour (usually combined), including a number of still lifes of meadow sections or animals, including his Young Hare (1502) and the Great Piece of Turf (1503, both also Albertina). <sep>Which named works were made by Durer in Albertina, Vienna?<sep>Young Hare

Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: According to the radar reconstruction, American 77 reemerged as a primary target on Indianapolis Center radar scopes at 9:05, east of its last known position. The target remained in Indianapolis Center's airspace for another six minutes, then crossed into the western portion of Washington Center's airspace at 9:10. As Indianapolis Center continued searching for the aircraft, two managers and the controller responsible for American 77 looked to the west and southwest along the flight's projected path, not east-where the aircraft was now heading. Managers did not instruct other controllers at Indianapolis Center to turn on their primary radar coverage to join in the search for American 77. In sum, Indianapolis Center never saw Flight 77 turn around. By the time it reappeared in primary radar coverage, controllers had either stopped looking for the aircraft because they thought it had crashed or were looking toward the west. Although the Command Center learned Flight 77 was missing, neither it nor FAA headquarters issued an all points bulletin to surrounding centers to search for primary radar targets. American 77 traveled undetected for 36 minutes on a course heading due east for Washington, D.C. By 9:25, FAA's Herndon Command Center and FAA headquarters knew two aircraft had crashed into the World Trade Center. They knew American 77 was lost. At least some FAA officials in Boston Center and the New England Region knew that a hijacker on board American 11 had said "we have some planes." Concerns over the safety of other aircraft began to mount. A manager at the Herndon Command Center asked FAA headquarters if they wanted to order a "nationwide ground stop." While this was being discussed by executives at FAA headquarters, the Command Center ordered one at 9:25. The Command Center kept looking for American 77. At 9:21, it advised the Dulles terminal control facility, and Dulles urged its controllers to look for primary targets. At 9:32, they found one. Several of the Dulles controllers "observed a primary radar target tracking eastbound at a high rate of speed" and notified Reagan National Airport. FAA personnel at both Reagan National and Dulles airports notified the Secret Service. <sep>At which times did all this take place<sep>8:45

question:
Which console had a larger selection of video games?, Context: The rivalry between Nintendo and Sega resulted in what has been described as one of the most notable console wars in video game history, in which Sega positioned the Genesis as the "cool" console, with more mature titles aimed at older gamers, and edgy advertisements that occasionally attacked the competition. Nintendo however, scored an early public relations advantage by securing the first console conversion of Capcom's arcade classic Street Fighter II for SNES, which took over a year to make the transition to Genesis. Despite the Genesis's head start, much larger library of games, and lower price point, the Genesis only represented an estimated 60% of the American 16-bit console market in June 1992, and neither console could maintain a definitive lead for several years. Donkey Kong Country is said to have helped establish the SNES's market prominence in the latter years of the 16-bit generation, and for a time, maintain against the PlayStation and Saturn. According to Nintendo, the company had sold more than 20 million SNES units in the U.S. According to a 2014 Wedbush Securities report based on NPD sales data, the SNES ultimately outsold the Genesis in the U.S. market.
answer:
Genesis
question:
What does the first A in "AAAD" stand for?, Context: NATO defines anti-aircraft warfare (AAW) as "measures taken to defend a maritime force against attacks by airborne weapons launched from aircraft, ships, submarines and land-based sites."

Q: In early March, the administration postponed action on proposals for increasing aid to the Northern Alliance and the Uzbeks. Rice noted at the time that a more wide-ranging examination of policy toward Afghanistan was needed first. She wanted the review very soon. Rice and others recalled the President saying, "I'm tired of swatting at flies." The President reportedly also said,"I'm tired of playing defense. I want to play offense. I want to take the fight to the terrorists." President Bush explained to us that he had become impatient. He apparently had heard proposals for rolling back al Qaeda but felt that catching terrorists one by one or even cell by cell was not an approach likely to succeed in the long run. At the same time, he said, he understood that policy had to be developed slowly so that diplomacy and financial and military measures could mesh with one another. Hadley convened an informal Deputies Committee meeting on March 7, when some of the deputies had not yet been confirmed. For the first time, Clarke's various proposals-for aid to the Northern Alliance and the Uzbeks and for Predator missions-went before the group that, in the Bush NSC, would do most of the policy work. Though they made no decisions on these specific proposals, Hadley apparently concluded that there should be a presidential national security policy directive (NSPD) on terrorism. Clarke would later express irritation about the deputies' insistence that a strategy for coping with al Qaeda be framed within the context of a regional policy. He doubted that the benefits would compensate for the time lost. The administration had in fact proceeded with Principals Committee meetings on topics including Iraq and Sudan without prior contextual review, and Clarke favored moving ahead similarly with a narrow counterterrorism agenda. But the President's senior advisers saw the al Qaeda problem as part of a puzzle that could not be assembled without filling in the pieces for Afghanistan and Pakistan. Rice deferred a Principals Committee meeting on al Qaeda until the deputies had developed a new policy for their consideration. <sep>Which regions were the president and his administration focused on in regards to combating terrorism?<sep>Sudan

Ques: Even if he is not the most liked comedian in China today, his popularity certainly has risen the fastest within the last two months. He's "Little Shenyang", who came into national fame overnight after his appearance on CCTV's Spring Festival Gala. With his funny cross-dressing, unique northeastern accent and superb imitative skills, Little Shenyang has obvious talent to support his rise to fame. Hundreds of video clips of his shows have been posted on YouTube and other online video sites, and his performance fees reportedly grew 50-fold in just a few weeks. He has, at the same time, become one of the most controversial of entertainers. Many have doubted his artistic potential, pointing out that his shows were repetitive and lacked creativity, a key to continued comedic success. Others belittle the style of humor, saying it's too crude and appeals only to less-educated people. His defenders were just as up in arms. Many media commentators and bloggers said that his quick rise to star proved the broad appeal of his art form. He became a national champion not because of his "northeastern hick " humor, they argued, but because he represented something new on TV, something with a grassroots feel that appealed to millions of ordinary people. Now, does Little Shenyang really deserve his star status? What's the secret of Little Shenyang's success? A) His funny cross-dressing. B) His unique accent C) His super imitative skills D) All of the above
Ans: D

Ques: The centenary of the birth of William Faulkner, one of the great modern novelists, was celebrated in September 1997. Faulkner wrote about the southern states of the United States of America where he grew up, and where his family had an important part to play in the history of that region. His work became a touchstone for insights into the troubled issues of southern American identity, race relations, and the family interrelationships of the old time southern gentry . Faulkner was born in New Albany, Mississippi on September 25, 1897. Despite his interest in writing, he left Oxford High School, Mississippi, without graduating. After World War I, he entered the University of Mississippi as a special student, a right to study which was granted to retired soldiers, although Faulkner had only finished training with the Air Force in Canada, and not entered combat . Faulkner began to write poems, a verse play, short stories and finished his first novel Sartoris in 1928. His fiction was centered for 14 of the 19 novels published during his lifetime in a fictional region called Yoknapatawpha County. The name is said to come from the Indian Chickasaw word meaning split land. In December 1950, Faulkner was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. When he accepted it in Stockholm, his speech emphasized that he wished to continue writing, but in a positive way that affirmed the power of humanity to prevail over adverse circumstances. As he said in his speech, he still felt that, despite the threat of nuclear war then hanging over the world, the central concern of the writer should be "the problems of the human heart in conflict with itself". He wanted the tensions and problems that he had cast the spotlight on in the southern states of America to be resolved by the life-affirming attitudes and action of his characters. Like playwright Tennessee Williams, Faulkner was a major voice who spoke for the troubled heart of the southern states of America. His achievement is all the more remarkable because, as a schoolboy, he was... Why did William Faulkner write about the southern states of America? A) They were the place where he grew up and his family took an important role in the history of that region. B) His work became a touchstone.

Q: The dresses at the Grammy Awards are always full of glitz, glamour and daring skin-baring elements — and the looks at the 2018 show on Sunday, January 28, were no exception. Our picks for best dressed: Lady Gaga, Chrissy Teigen, Rita Ora, Lana Del Ray and Miley Cyrus.
It wasn’t easy to pick our favorites — the musically gifted folks in attendance hit all the elements we’ve come to expect from the show: Shimmer, sheer paneling, splashes of color and bold patterns. But the gowns and suits featured in the video above took our breath away!
Grammys 2018 Red Carpet Fashion: What the Stars Wore
Best dressed #5) Lady Gaga set the tone, arriving early in a custom Armani Prive gown with a thigh-high slit, revealing a lace-clad leg under her skirt. Her Lorraine Schwartz jewels added even more drama.
Best dressed #4) Teigen showed off her chic maternity style with a stunning metallic belted Yanina Couture dress and Lorraine Schwartz jewels.
Best dressed #3) Ora brought her leg out to play, revealing the full length of one of her perfect gams in a Ralph & Russo gown, Louboutins heels and Lorraine Schwartz jewels.

Best dressed #2) Del Ray swept in like a dream in a custom Gucci gown that nearly floated when she walked.
Best dressed #1) Cyrus went the menswear route with a Jean Paul Gaultier pantsuit that grabbed our top spot. The peekaboo element across the collarbone and slim fit hit a balance between strong and soft that’s pitch perfect.

Gaga was second to perform, and appeared very quickly after opener Kendrick Lamar, so it made sense that she was just about the first person on the red carpet: She had to get this Armani some quality promenading time before she changed into her angel outfit. Mission accomplished, Stefani. This was one of the highest-impact outfits of the night, and one the telecasts turned to again and again for its glamorous B-roll — proving yet again that she's among the best at making the world her stage.
2. Best Jolt: Janelle Monae in Dolce & Gabbana
Getty
Janelle has us conditioned to expect her in black, black and white, or either of those with a touch of red. So it was a delicious swerve to see her showing up in this D&G tux that's erupting in flowers — and yet still, somehow, so wholly her. If you don't yet think styling is an art, you'd best start.

3. Best Accent: Hailee Steinfeld in Alexandre Vauthier
Getty
When we saw her on the red carpet telecast, she was in close-up, and we were so confused why Hailee would pick Grammy night of ALL nights to go so simple. We needn't have furrowed: The full shot revealed those glitzy purple boots, which instantly elevated this entire look into excellence. And, not for nothing, made us think of Prince. It’s never a bad time to invoke his memory.
4. Best High-Low: India.Arie

Doubtless the shirt and miniskirt themselves would be a perfectly cute outfit on their own, but that resplendent matching duster elevates this into something indelible. She'd better not take it off at the after-parties; it's perfect for making a dramatic entrance.
5. Best Golden Girl: Kelly Clarkson in Christian Siriano
Getty
Kelly's inner light can illuminate pretty much anything, but this year she's had Christian Siriano cloaking it lovingly in custom black-and-gold, which has made her shine even more brightly. Some of Twitter thought this was a little much, but we think it's beautiful, ornate, and befitting our favorite Idol and just about the only person who can get us back to The Voice again.
6. Best Froof: Pink in Armani
Advertisement - Continue Reading Below
Getty
THIS is what the Grammys are about: big and bright and bold and a touch impractical, and probably not that easy to sit in without worrying about crushing something. And because Pink performed a stripped-down anthem in a white t-shirt and jeans, this was doubly impactful.
7. Best Suit-Dress: Andra Day

Okay, so that slit may need to come with a warning label, but let's assume Andra has it taped to within a quarter-inch of its life (and her crotch). Because all-told, this is GLORIOUS, and it makes us want to order a sloe gin fizz — despite not really knowing what's in it — and drink it with her IMMEDIATELY, possibly while sitting on top of a piano.
8. Best Sexy Suit: Eve in Naeem Khan
Getty
Oh, Naeem, we've missed you this awards season. This fab suit is an impeccable way to make your grand return.
9. Best Slouchy Suit: Alessia Cara
Getty

Alessia Cara is clearly a woman who wants to look and feel like herself. And this cool suit, paired with a classic white tee, is totally authentic to the vibe she's always created even as it represents another small step toward stuff that's a bit slicker. She also took home Best New Artist, so it seems we'll be seeing a lot more of her evolution. We can't wait.
10. Best Legend: Reba McEntire

Reba, you gleaming, glittering, gorgeous ginger, you. We would say "never change," but truly, you never seem to, and that's as it should be. (And for the soap-opera-loving kids who missed her the first time, Google the video for "Does He Love You." Reba is life.)
11. Best Red Carpet Red: Camila Cabello in Vivienne Westwood
Getty
Technically speaking, hardly anyone wore red on the Grammys red carpet — but even if they had, we'd be giving Camila props for this. Her album's on fire; dressing to match was a very good call.
12. Best Maternity Look: Chrissy Teigen in Yanina Couture
Getty

This sparkly confection would be good even if Chrissy weren't dressing for two. But it's all the more impressive given that we're pretty sure she'd rather be home gestating in her sweatpants.
13. Best Return to the Awards Show Circuit: Miley Cyrus in Jean-Paul Gaultier

Miley hashtagged her tweet about the Grammys red carpet "#thebitchisback," and we'd add "#andbetterthanever." Her black jumpsuit — which she accessorized with a Sydney Evan diamond stacked eternity ring and sparkly, block-heel shoes — is elegant, understated, and, yes, perfect for throwing a drink in someone's face. You know, if she needs to. Is it wrong to hope she does?
14. Best Grammys Debut: Cardi B in Ashi Studio
Getty
Miley's umpteenth go-round was refreshingly understated, but this was Cardi's first, so it's thrilling that she didn't phone it in: This is a lot of dress, and it makes a big splash, but no less than she herself has made on the music scene. You earned this, Cardi. Swim in it.

15. Best Eyewear, Standard Division: Lisa Loeb in Zeina Nabulsi
Getty
Lisa's frock is great, don't get us wrong. But we really love seeing her trademark glasses, which are as charming now as they were when we first fell in love with them, um, mumblesomething years ago. Excuse us, we've got to make an appointment with our optometrists.
16. Best Eyewear, Extremely Extra Division: Elton John

Sir Elton just announced his retirement in ... well, 300 concerts from now, but still. We must pay tribute to a man who, his entire career, has known that the best way to accessorize a sparkly jacket is with yet more sparkles.
17. Best Raincoat: Rihanna in Alexandre Vauthier
Getty
Okay, so Rihanna didn't technically walk the red carpet, but we couldn't resist including her. This oxblood patent leather coat/dress is too rad to keep to ourselves. We would get lost in all that, but as ever, she makes it look enviably easy.
18. Best Old Hollywood Shout-Out: Lana Del Rey in Gucci

Lana Del Ray Twitter was quick to point out her resemblance to a very famous look of Hedy Lamarr's — and not only does Lana look great, it feels like it's exactly the right time to remind everyone that Lamarr was a tremendous beauty who also invented spread spectrum technology to help thwart the Nazis, which is basically the reason any of us have WiFi. Women contain multitudes, and where would the world be without us? Nowhere good.

Joy Villa arrives at the 60th annual Grammy Awards. (Photo: Evan Agostini/Invision/AP)
Joy Villa didn't wear her politics on her sleeve — she wore it on her skirt.
The musician, who last year wore a MAGA-inspired gown to the Grammys, arrived Sunday with a pro-life purse and a fetus-in-utero hand-painted onto her ballgown's skirt.
"I'm a pro-life woman. This year I chose to make a statement on the red carpet like I always do," she told Fox News. "I'm all about life."
Villa told Fox she was inspired to paint this year's dress because she gave a baby up for adoption when she was 21, adding that she supports adoption over abortion.
The look, accented with a tiara, is in line with Villa's Grammys look from 2017, which featured Donald Trump's name and his catchphrase, "Make America Great Again."
"I love what he is doing; unemployment is down," she told Fox. "I am totally for President Trump, and it's only been one year. I can't wait for the next seven years!"

Definition: In this task, you are given a question and a context passage. You have to answer the question based on the given passage.
Input: What two things are pretty much the same thing?, Context: Infectious diseases are sometimes called contagious disease when they are easily transmitted by contact with an ill person or their secretions (e.g., influenza). Thus, a contagious disease is a subset of infectious disease that is especially infective or easily transmitted. Other types of infectious/transmissible/communicable diseases with more specialized routes of infection, such as vector transmission or sexual transmission, are usually not regarded as "contagious", and often do not require medical isolation (sometimes loosely called quarantine) of victims. However, this specialized connotation of the word "contagious" and "contagious disease" (easy transmissibility) is not always respected in popular use.
Output: | Infectious diseases are sometimes called contagious disease |

Q: Alexander II's death caused a great setback for the reform movement. One of his last ideas was to draft plans for an elected parliament, or Duma, which were completed the day before he died but not yet released to the Russian people. In a matter of 48 hours, Alexander II planned to release his plan for the duma to the Russian people. Had he lived, Russia might have followed a path to constitutional monarchy instead of the long road of oppression that defined his successor's reign. The first action Alexander III took after his father's death was to tear up those plans. A Duma would not come into fruition until 1905, when Alexander II's grandson, Nicholas II, commissioned the Duma following extreme pressure on the monarchy as a result of the Russian Revolution of 1905. The assassination triggered major suppression of civil liberties in Russia, and police brutality burst back in full force after experiencing some restraint under the reign of Alexander II, whose death was witnessed first-hand by his son, Alexander III, and his grandson, Nicholas II, both future emperors who vowed not to have the same fate befall them. Both of them used the Okhrana to arrest protestors and uproot suspected rebel groups, creating further suppression of personal freedom for the Russian people. A series of anti-Jewish pogroms and antisemitic legislation, the May Laws, were yet another result. Finally, the tsar's assassination also inspired anarchists to advocate "'propaganda by deed'--the use of a spectacular act of violence to incite revolution." With construction starting in 1883, the Church of the Savior on Blood was built on the site of Alexander's assassination and dedicated in his memory. <sep>What effect did Alexander II's death have on the Russian political climate?<sep>It triggered major suppression of civil liberties in Russia and police brutality burst back in full force

In this task, you are given a question and a context passage. You have to answer the question based on the given passage.
Input: Consider Input: What economic improvement did the successors make?, Context: Louis-Philippe was overthrown by a popular uprising in the streets of Paris in 1848. His successor, Napoleon III, and the newly appointed prefect of the Seine, Georges-Eugène Haussmann, launched a gigantic public works project to build wide new boulevards, a new opera house, a central market, new aqueducts, sewers, and parks, including the Bois de Boulogne and Bois de Vincennes. In 1860, Napoleon III also annexed the surrounding towns and created eight new arrondissements, expanding Paris to its current limits.
Output: central market
Input: Consider Input: How would I know if I could get Chopin to teach me to play the flute?, Context: In London Chopin took lodgings at Dover Street, where the firm of Broadwood provided him with a grand piano. At his first engagement, on 15 May at Stafford House, the audience included Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. The Prince, who was himself a talented musician, moved close to the keyboard to view Chopin's technique. Broadwood also arranged concerts for him; among those attending were Thackeray and the singer Jenny Lind. Chopin was also sought after for piano lessons, for which he charged the high fee of one guinea (£1.05 in present British currency) per hour, and for private recitals for which the fee was 20 guineas. At a concert on 7 July he shared the platform with Viardot, who sang arrangements of some of his mazurkas to Spanish texts.
Output: Chopin was also sought after for piano lessons
Input: Consider Input: Where was the group that dominated politics in the Phagmodrupa Dynasty after 1435 based?, Context: Between 1346 and 1354, Tai Situ Changchub Gyaltsen toppled the Sakya and founded the Phagmodrupa Dynasty. The following 80 years saw the founding of the Gelug school (also known as Yellow Hats) by the disciples of Je Tsongkhapa, and the founding of the important Ganden, Drepung and Sera monasteries near Lhasa. However, internal strife within the dynasty and the strong localism of the various fiefs and political-religious factions led to a long series of internal conflicts. The minister family Rinpungpa, based in Tsang (West Central Tibet), dominated politics after 1435. In 1565 they were overthrown by the Tsangpa Dynasty of Shigatse which expanded its power in different directions of Tibet in the following decades and favoured the Karma Kagyu sect.
| Output: Tsang (West Central Tibet)

(CNN) Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell aren't exactly kissing and making up. The unflattering details of a rapidly deteriorating relationship between the President and the Senate majority leader spilled out into the open this month -- an angry phone call that devolved into a screaming match; a refusal to speak to one another since that heated conversation; and a steady exchange of hardly subtle snubs. But the constant drip of reporting about the stunningly strained ties between Trump and McConnell appear to have done little so far to compel the two powerful Republicans to swallow their pride and hug it out -- in fact, the tension appears to be mounting.The White House press secretary said Trump's Congress relations are 'fine'Trump and McConnell are currently not speaking following a heated phone callBoth the Legislative and Executive Branch have ambitious goals for this fall

Originally loaded with a bullet weight of 40 grains (2.6 g) delivering velocities in the 2,000 feet per second (610 m/s) range from a rifle barrel, .22 WMR is now loaded with bullet weights ranging from 50 grains (3.2 g) at 1,530 feet per second (470 m/s) to 30 grains (1.9 g) at 2,200 feet per second (670 m/s). Accuracy around 1 MOA is achievable. Compared to the faster but lighter .17 HMR, the .22 WMR impacts targets with higher kinetic energy within its effective range, important for clean kills on larger small game such as coyote, albeit with a less flat-shooting bullet arc.
Student: | is a 22 wmr the same as a 22 mag? |

In this task, you are given a question and a context passage. You have to answer the question based on the given passage.
Input: Consider Input: Which of the following is not explicitly conservationist: Theodore Roosevelt, Pheasants Forever, or the Boone and Crockett Club?, Context: Regulation of hunting within the United States dates from the 19th century. Some modern hunters see themselves as conservationists and sportsmen in the mode of Theodore Roosevelt and the Boone and Crockett Club. Local hunting clubs and national organizations provide hunter education and help protect the future of the sport by buying land for future hunting use. Some groups represent a specific hunting interest, such as Ducks Unlimited, Pheasants Forever, or the Delta Waterfowl Foundation. Many hunting groups also participate in lobbying the federal government and state government.
Output: Pheasants Forever
Input: Consider Input: How many things may mirror things with effects?, Context: The three marks of existence may reflect Upanishadic or other influences. K.R. Norman supposes that the these terms were already in use at the Buddha's time, and were familiair to his hearers.
Output: three
Input: Consider Input: What eventually happened to FireWire?, Context: The third generation began including a 30-pin dock connector, allowing for FireWire or USB connectivity. This provided better compatibility with non-Apple machines, as most of them did not have FireWire ports at the time. Eventually Apple began shipping iPods with USB cables instead of FireWire, although the latter was available separately. As of the first-generation iPod Nano and the fifth-generation iPod Classic, Apple discontinued using FireWire for data transfer (while still allowing for use of FireWire to charge the device) in an attempt to reduce cost and form factor. As of the second-generation iPod Touch and the fourth-generation iPod Nano, FireWire charging ability has been removed. The second-, third-, and fourth-generation iPod Shuffle uses a single 3.5 mm minijack phone connector which acts as both a headphone jack and a data port for the dock.
| Output: Apple discontinued

In this task, you are given a question and a context passage. You have to answer the question based on the given passage.
One example: what is the first event mentioned?, Context: The Russian Revolution is the series of revolutions in Russia in 1917, which destroyed the Tsarist autocracy and led to the creation of the Soviet Union. Following the abdication of Nicholas II of Russia, the Russian Provisional Government was established. In October 1917, a red faction revolution occurred in which the Red Guard, armed groups of workers and deserting soldiers directed by the Bolshevik Party, seized control of Saint Petersburg (then known as Petrograd) and began an immediate armed takeover of cities and villages throughout the former Russian Empire.
Solution is here: Russian Revolution
Explanation: This is a good example, and the Russian Revolution is the first event mentioned.
Now, solve this: Which happened first, 49 Black Legion members were convicted, or Detroit had turned into a KKK stronghold?, Context: Detroit, like many places in the United States, developed racial conflict and discrimination in the 20th century following rapid demographic changes as hundreds of thousands of new workers were attracted to the industrial city; in a short period it became the 4th-largest city in the nation. The Great Migration brought rural blacks from the South; they were outnumbered by southern whites who also migrated to the city. Immigration brought southern and eastern Europeans of Catholic and Jewish faith; these new groups competed with native-born whites for jobs and housing in the booming city. Detroit was one of the major Midwest cities that was a site for the dramatic urban revival of the Ku Klux Klan beginning in 1915. "By the 1920s the city had become a stronghold of the KKK," whose members opposed Catholic and Jewish immigrants, as well as black Americans. The Black Legion, a secret vigilante group, was active in the Detroit area in the 1930s, when one-third of its estimated 20,000 to 30,000 members in Michigan were based in the city. It was defeated after numerous prosecutions following the kidnapping and murder in 1936 of Charles Poole, a Catholic Works Progress Administration organizer. A total of 49 men of the Black Legion were convicted of numerous crimes, with many sentenced to life in prison for murder.
Solution: | the city had become a stronghold of the KKK |

Detailed Instructions: In this task, you are given a text of many news articles seperated by special token "|||||". Your task is to summarize them.
Problem:When humans first arrived on the island of Madagascar around 1500 years ago, they encountered an array of remarkable species that have since gone extinct: gorilla-sized lemurs, giant tortoises, tiny hippos and a huge, long-necked, flightless bird that lumbered through Madagascar’s forests and laid the largest eggs of any known vertebrate, including dinosaurs.
The eggs of the Aepyornis, also known as the elephant bird, were a highly valuable food source for Madagascar’s human settlers. With a volume roughly equal to that of 150 chicken eggs, a single elephant bird egg could feed multiple families. Humans pillaged the elephant birds’ nests, which likely played a role in driving the animals towards extinction. Today, few of the bird’s gargantuan eggs survive; fewer than 40 are known to exist in public institutions. So staff at the Buffalo Museum of Science were nothing short of thrilled when they found an intact, foot-long elephant bird egg hiding in the museum’s vast collections.
The Buffalo Museum of Science has been accruing its collection for well over a century and is currently in the process of updating its catalog, some of which still exists on cards and ledgers. While inputting catalog data into the museum’s computer system, Paige Langle, the collections manager of zoology, opened a cabinet that hadn’t been looked in for quite some time. Inside was an enormous, cream-colored egg. It measured 12 inches long, 28 inches in circumference and weighed more than three pounds. It was also labeled as a model.
Langle, however, immediately suspected that the egg was “too realistic to be a model,” she tells Smithsonian.com. “I tried to shrug it off, but the more closely I looked at the surface of the eggshell and felt the weight of the egg, the more I kept thinking this has to be real.”
She was right. Searching deeper in the collections, she found a replica of the elephant bird egg that was obviously the model in question. Museum staff then looked through the institution’s archives and found records indicating that the museum had purchased a sub-fossilized elephant bird egg from a London purveyor of taxidermy specimens in 1939. They also found a letter written by a curator at the time, who listed various objects that he wanted to acquire for an exhibit on birds. One of those objects was a an elephant bird egg.
“From what we could tell, he mailed this list to all kinds of dealers all over the world, several of them in London,” says Kathryn Leacock, the museum’s director of collections. “A couple of them wrote back and said, ‘Oh no, you're not going to get one of those. They're kind of expensive.’ Fortunately he didn't let that deter him.”
Museum staff sent the specimen to SUNY Buffalo State to be radiographed and authenticated. Conservation experts there not only confirmed that the egg was real, but were also able to determine that it had been fertilized. They could make out the yolk sac and, Leacock says, “white fragments” that may point to the beginnings of a developing bird.
The 40 or so elephant bird eggs that are owned by public institutions exist in varying states of completeness. The National Geographic Society in Washington, D.C., has an intact sub-fossilized elephant bird egg, and inside is an embryonic skeleton. But other institutions “just have fragments of the shell,” Leacock says. (It is hard to know how many elephant bird eggs are held in private collections; David Attenborough has one, and in 2013, another sold for $100,000 at a Christie’s auction in London.)
Leacock hopes that the newfound specimen at the Buffalo Science Museum will prove valuable to experts who are interested in the elephant bird. There were several species of this massive creature. The largest towered 10 feet high and weighed around 1,000 pounds. These magnificent creatures died out relatively quickly once humans came to Madagascar; the last sighting of an Aepyornis was in the 17th century.
It is not entirely clear why the birds went extinct, but anthropologist Kristina Guild Douglass said in an interview published on Yale’s website that “the answer is somewhere in the combination of climate change, changes in vegetation patterns, and human predation.”
“From my excavations,” she added, “human predation seems to be limited to egg-poaching.”
The elephant bird egg at the Buffalo Museum of Science has not been on display since the 1940s or 50s, Leacock says. The staff plans to feature the relic in an exhibition titled “Rethink Extinct,” which explores major episodes of extinction, from the age of the dinosaur to the present day.
“It's super, super cool to have this [egg] in Buffalo, and hope the community will be proud that we are one of a very, very few museums that have this as our cultural heritage,” Leacock says. “We're just very excited.” ||||| It's a rare egg and among the biggest in the world. But because it was mislabeled for decades, no one at the Buffalo Museum of Science even knew what they had.
What the museum has is a fully-intact elephant bird egg.
After decades of being out of view – possibly since the 1940s or '50s – the egg will be displayed in the museum's Rethink Extinct gallery starting May 1.
The cream-colored, oval-shaped egg measures 1-foot long, and 2 feet 4 inches in circumference. It tips the scale at 3 pounds and 5 ounces.
"It's the biggest egg laid by any vertebrate ever," said Kathryn Leacock, the museum's director of collections.
The egg from the flightless bird species is among the fewer than 40 or so left in public institutions in the world.
Credit Paige Langle, collections manager of zoology, for realizing the Buffalo museum is among them. She was updating the museum's catalog from ledgers and cards to a digital format when she came upon the egg. It was inside a cabinet with a tag indicating it was a cast.
"When I saw the egg, it was so much bigger than any other eggs in our collection," Langle said.
The museum has over 1,000 eggs in its vast collection of 700,000 items. Most of the items – the industry standard is 95 percent – are stored in the building's repository.
"It had so much detailing and pitting, and the color was beautiful. It looked too realistic to be a model," she said.
Langle found a cast elephant egg in a separate area later the same day, but it looked like a model.
"When I went back and looked at the first egg, I just thought, 'This has to be real,' " Langle said.
The museum turned to SUNY Buffalo State's art conservation department to find out. The curators carefully boxed the egg in foam and drove it to Buff State.
"It's a good thing the Scajaquada is only 30 miles per hour," Leacock said.
Jiuan Jiuan Chen, the department's professor of conservation imaging, suggested using radiography on the egg. The imaging technique uses a beam of X-rays to see inside. The radiography images showed the egg is not a model and may have been fertilized.
"Specs of white" could indicate the beginnings of a developing bird, Leacock said.
The discovery only made the drive back on the Scajaquada with the precious cargo more nerve-rattling, she said.
Elephant birds, most likely named for their thick legs, grew to 10 feet tall and weighed between 770 and 1,100 pounds. The birds went extinct in the 17th century.
The Buffalo museum acquired the elephant egg in 1939 from a London taxidermist, who purchased it on the island of Madagascar, where the birds lived in a tropical rainforest. The museum bought the egg for $92 from Edward Gerrard & Sons of London, according to archival records.
"Ninety-two dollars in 1939 was not cheap," Leacock said.
Museum staff also found a letter written by a curator at the time, in which an elephant bird egg was listed among the items he wanted to acquire for an exhibition on birds.
The nearest elephant bird egg – found floating in the Indian Ocean off Madagascar – is at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh.
"We are super excited that the Buffalo Museum of Science is in that select group," Leacock said.
Leacock said the inventorying and cataloging effort could turn up more surprises.
"Lost, hidden or misidentified artifacts and specimens are not uncommon in museums that have been collecting for centuries," Leacock said. "The Buffalo Society of Natural Sciences has been collecting since 1861, and as we continue to care for the collection, there is always more to learn and discover." ||||| A gigantic egg from a massive extinct bird that was sitting in a storage area at a New York museum unbeknownst to scientists is now receiving more recognition.
The foot-long egg from an elephant bird is fully intact and weighs three pounds, 5 ounces, the Buffalo Museum of Science said in a statement. It was “mislabeled as a model due to the rarity of this type of egg,” but the error was discovered as staffers were doing a fresh inventory and catalog of its pieces.
“Lost, hidden or misidentified artifacts and specimens are not uncommon in museums that have been collecting for centuries, and we are thrilled to rediscover this rare egg in our collection,” Director of Collections Kathryn Leacock said in the museum statement. “The Buffalo Society of Natural Sciences has been collecting since 1861, and as we continue to care for the collection, there is always more to learn and discover.”
As the museum explained, “cast eggs are commonplace in museum collections,” so the team reached out to experts who radiographed the specimen to confirm its authenticity.
“Further investigation into the archival record revealed the egg was purchased from Edward Gerrard & Sons of London in 1939,” according to the museum statement.
The Buffalo Museum of Science
That firm included people who were taxidermists, made anatomical models and dealt in artifacts particularly from the Pacific area.
Elephant birds were about 10 feet tall and weighed close to 1,000 pounds. Their massive eggs were the equivalent of several dozen chicken eggs and they may have gotten their common name from their broad legs.
The flightless bird species, which was found in Madagascar, went extinct hundreds of years ago, although when exactly that happened has been the subject of some debate. Some put the last recorded elephant bird sighting at a point in the 1600s.
They may have died out from a combination of factors, including environmental changes and humans poaching their eggs.
The Buffalo museum bills its newly discovered historical specimen as “one of the largest eggs ever laid by a vertebrate animal.” It is making its debut on May 1 as part of the museum’s Rethink Extinct exhibit.
There are fewer than 40 intact elephant bird eggs in public institutions around the world, the museum said.

Solution: | The Buffalo Museum of Science has been sitting on a rare find. A collections manager with the museum discovered an elephant bird egg nestled away in a cabinet for more than half a century and erroneously labeled as a cast. The egg is 1 foot long, more than 2 feet in circumference, and in pristine condition. "It's the biggest egg laid by any vertebrate ever," Director of Collections Kathryn Leacock tells the Buffalo News—and that includes dinosaurs, notes the Smithsonian, which reports the egg's volume is equivalent to that of about 150 chicken eggs. Convinced the specimen looked too real to be a model, the museum brought the egg to conservation experts at SUNY Buffalo State who radiographed and authenticated it. The X-rays also revealed a yolk sac and specks of white material, indicating the egg had been fertilized, with the white bits possibly the early stages of a developing bird. Elephant birds, which became extinct in the 17th century, could grow to a height of 10 feet and weigh as much as 1,100 pounds. The flightless birds were found on Madagascar and probably died out due to a combination of factors, reports Newsweek: The giant eggs were attractive to poachers, and environmental changes may have sealed their fate. Museum records suggest that the egg was purchased from a London collector in 1939. "Lost, hidden, or misidentified artifacts and specimens are not uncommon in museums that have been collecting for centuries," Leacock said in a news release. The egg, one of fewer than 40 held by public institutions, will be on display at the museum starting in May. (This US museum agreed to stop displaying a soldier's skull.) |

Input: (CNN) -- Turkey's fraught relationship with France is set to erode further after the French Senate passed controversial legislation criminalizing any public denial of what the bill calls the Armenian genocide in Ottoman Turkey in 1915 -- a description Turkey has rejected. Under the legislation, anyone denying the deaths were genocide could face a jail term and a fine of €45,000 ($58,000). The lower house of French parliament passed the so-called Armenian genocide bill last December, prompting Turkey to recall its ambassador from Paris and to cancel certain bilateral visits between the countries. The French Senate then voted late Monday to approve the bill.French Senate passes bill criminalizing public denial of Armenian genocide in Ottoman Turkey in 1915Armenians say Turks committed genocide against more than a million Armenians in waning days of Ottoman EmpireTurkey says the deaths were due to war, disease and chaos -- not to a specific plan to kill ArmeniansGenocide bill threatens to further destabilize relations between France and Turkey

How to prevent litter box aggression
Add another litter box.
The main cause for litter box aggression in cats is too few litter boxes in the home. Simply adding another litter box can often dispel much of the tension that is causing your cat to act aggressively.
OPTIONS:
- When you add a new litter box, place the box in a lower room in your home. You could then create a new box in the attic or crawl space where your cat frequents and destroy the old box.
- The general rule of thumb is that you should have one litter box per cat, plus one. For example, if you have two cats, you should try to have three litter boxes in your home.
- You may also try adding a partially new litter box if you are worried about your cat getting into the litter box. Try adding the new litter only if the cat responds positively, or if you don't want to add another one.
- Keeping your cat indoors most of the time will not necessarily alleviate the aggression. It's important to make sure to keep increasing or decreasing your litter boxes to prevent the aggression.
The general rule of thumb is that you should have one litter box per cat, plus one. For example, if you have two cats, you should try to have three litter boxes in your home.

How to ombre paint a dresser
Decide upon a horizontal or vertical ombre effect.
Ombre painting simply means painting in a gradient, employing different shades of the same color to create the effect of fading. Before painting your dresser, decide if you want to create an ombre effect from top to bottom or from left to right.
OPTIONS:
- Horizontal ombre painting means painting up and down, crossing between shades of black and white to create a rainbow effect. Vertical ombre painting means painting one long, continuous shade of black to create a sun effect.
- Shaded shades are generally the brighter and fatter shades, while shades of metallic color may tend to lend the illusion of an ombre effect. Lay your dresser on its side and extend it to the top.
- If your dresser has drawers stacked vertically, you can paint each drawer face a different color. This will make top-to-bottom ombre much easier.
- In some cases, all you need to do is paint side and right for various shades. In other cases, though, you may only paint the outer edge of the dresser or have it to either to the right or left, depending on your model.
answer: If your dresser has drawers stacked vertically, you can paint each drawer face a different color. This will make top-to-bottom ombre much easier.

How to care for a sick dog
Monitor your dog's daily activity.
Keep a notebook of when your dog relieves himself, when his symptoms occur, when he eats and drinks, and so on. This helps to establish a pattern to the symptoms.
OPTIONS:
- No matter the severity, it should only make sense that first thing in the morning, it's time for keeping your dog (and other persons) occupied. If you have three puppies in the house, it's your responsibility to train and protect all the puppies you have at home, over time.
- It can also be a very useful tool for the veterinarian to diagnose your dog's illness. If your dog is mildly sick (not eating the best for a day, restless, vomiting once or twice, a bout of diarrhea) you can carefully observe your dog at home and phone your vet for advice.
- Keep a notebook of what your dog eats, how often he drinks, when he goes to the bathroom, where his bowels are, how often he urinates, and so on. This will help you to tell when he is active enough to pee and when to poop.
- The numbers don't have to be constant--keep a record of your dog's diet and exercise. Compare the ingredients in his diet, but be consistent--you want to make sure that there isn't one drug or supplement that can cause the symptoms or give the dog a bad-tasting drink instead of an adequate dose.
A: | It can also be a very useful tool for the veterinarian to diagnose your dog's illness. If your dog is mildly sick (not eating the best for a day, restless, vomiting once or twice, a bout of diarrhea) you can carefully observe your dog at home and phone your vet for advice. |
STOCKHOLM, Oct.11 (Xinhua) -- Chinese writer Mo Yan has won the 2012 Nobel Prize in Literature, announced Peter Englund, Permanent Secretary of the Swedish Academy in Stockholm on Thursday. The Nobel Prize in Literature 2012 is awarded to Chinese writer Mo Yan "who with hallucinatory realism merges folk tales, history and the contemporary," said Englund at a press conference. Mo Yan, a pseudonym for Guan Moye, was born in 1955 and grew up in Gaomi in Shandong province in eastern China.His parents were farmers. As a 12-year-old during the Cultural Revolution he left school to work, first in agriculture, later in a factory.In 1976 he joined the People's Liberation Army and during this time began to study literature and write.His first short story was published in a literary journal in 1981. "In his writing, Mo Yan draws on his youthful experiences and on settings in the province of his birth.This is apparent in his novel Hong gaoliang jiazu (1987, in English Red Sorghum 1993)," said the academy in a statement of Mo's biography. The book consists of five stories that unfold and interweave in Gaomi in several turbulent decades in the 20th century, with depictions of bandit culture, the Japanese occupation and the harsh conditions endured by poor farm workers, according to the biography.Red Sorghum was successfully filmed in 1987, directed by famous Chinese director Zhang Yimou. Through a mixture of fantasy and reality, historical and social perspectives, Mo Yan has created a world reminiscent in its complexity of those in the writings of William Faulkner and Gabriel Garcia Marquez, at the same time finding a departure point in old Chinese literature and in oral tradition, the academy commented in the biographical statement. In addition to his novels, Mo Yan has published many short stories and essays on various topics.In spite of his social criticism, he is seen in his homeland as one of the foremost contemporary authors, the statement added. Dozens of his works have been translated into English, French and... Where can you possibly read tins article?

[Q]: Have you ever looked closely at a globe? That continents look like a giant jig-saw puzzle. North America looks like it could fit next to Europe. The edge of South America matches Africa. Scientists noticed these same features. It caused them to start asking questions. They wanted to know if these continents were was connected? If so, how can something so large move so far? What could possibly have enough force to move such a giant slab of rock? Is there other evidence that can provide clues to the past positions of continents? How can answering these questions help us? A scientist named Alfred Wegener had these same questions. Wegener look at rocks on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. He noticed they were the same type and age. He thought that the rocks must have formed side by side. He proposed that the rocks then drifted apart. One part went with North America. The other part stayed with Europe. <sep>Which four continents from the paragraph look like they are connected like a jig saw puzzle?<sep>North America, Europe, South America, Africa

[Q]: From Babylon, Alexander went to Susa, one of the Achaemenid capitals, and captured its legendary treasury. He sent the bulk of his army to the Persian ceremonial capital of Persepolis via the Royal Road. Alexander himself took selected troops on the direct route to the city. He had to storm the pass of the Persian Gates (in the modern Zagros Mountains) which had been blocked by a Persian army under Ariobarzanes and then hurried to Persepolis before its garrison could loot the treasury. On entering Persepolis, Alexander allowed his troops to loot the city for several days. Alexander stayed in Persepolis for five months. During his stay a fire broke out in the eastern palace of Xerxes and spread to the rest of the city. Possible causes include a drunken accident or deliberate revenge for the burning of the Acropolis of Athens during the Second Persian War. <sep>What are the possible causes of the fire that broke out in the eastern palace of Xerxes?<sep>War
[A]: No
[Q]: On his return to Nuremberg in 1495, Durer opened his own workshop (being married was a requirement for this). Over the next five years his style increasingly integrated Italian influences into underlying Northern forms. Durer's father died in 1502, and his mother died in 1513. His best works in the first years of the workshop were his woodcut prints, mostly religious, but including secular scenes such as The Men's Bath House (ca. 1496). These were larger and more finely cut than the great majority of German woodcuts hitherto, and far more complex and balanced in composition. It is now thought unlikely that Durer cut any of the woodblocks himself; this task would have been performed by a specialist craftsman. However, his training in Wolgemut's studio, which made many carved and painted altarpieces and both designed and cut woodblocks for woodcut, evidently gave him great understanding of what the technique could be made to produce, and how to work with block cutters. Durer either drew his design directly onto the woodblock itself, or glued a paper drawing to the block. Either way, his drawings were destroyed during the cutting of the block. <sep>Durer's drawings which he cut or drew himself were destroyed how?<sep>Folding the drawings
[A]: | No

Washington (CNN) Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Sunday that President Donald Trump "speaks for himself" when asked whether the President's response to the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, raised questions about Trump's values. The brief remark from the top Cabinet official appeared to be the latest subtle sign of a gap between Tillerson, a former globe-trotting oil executive, and the freewheeling President, who ran a campaign in large part against how the US interacts with pillars of the international community. It also points to a distance between Trump and some of his team on Charlottesville. Tillerson said on "Fox News Sunday" that the United States was committed to freedom and "equal treatment of people the world over" when posed the question by anchor Chris Wallace.Tillerson pointed to his own comments condemning racismFor months, reports have indicated Tillerson's frustrations in the top diplomatic post

(CNN) In recent days, with Afghanistan's Taliban insurgency continuing to gain steam and America's longest war staggering through its 16th year, analysts have started invoking the v-word (and it's not "victory"). Vietnam is a sadly apt analogy. Indeed, just as they did in Vietnam 50 years ago, US troops in Afghanistan are fighting a costly, intractable, and unending conflict against a relentlessly resilient asymmetric foe. However, it's not a perfect analogy. The Vietnam War provoked impassioned debate back home, but Americans are hardly discussing the war in Afghanistan. It's completely off the radar. It's high time we talk about this forgotten war, and especially with the Trump administration considering a new policy that would escalate US military involvement. Escalation would be a mistake, and it would further prolong a conflict that can't be won.US President Trump considering whether to increase troop numbers in AfghanistanKugelman: 'Reconciliation won't come easily or quickly, but it's still worth pursuing'

Chemical kinetics -- The reactions are due to collisions of reactant species. The frequency with which the molecules or ions collide depends upon their concentrations. The more crowded the molecules are, the more likely they are to collide and react with one another. Thus, an increase in the concentrations of the reactants will usually result in the corresponding increase in the reaction rate, while a decrease in the concentrations will usually have a reverse effect. For example, combustion will occur more rapidly in pure oxygen than in air (21% oxygen).
A: | are chemical reactions limited by the availability of reactants |
