Input: Almost 400 years after the Pilgrims celebrated their first Thanksgiving, archaeologists have unearthed evidence of the original 1620 settlement in Plymouth, Mass.
Researchers from UMass Boston’s Andrew Fiske Memorial Center for Archaeological Research made the find on Burial Hill in Plymouth. Burial Hill includes a cemetery that was thought to be part of the original settlement, according to the Boston Globe, although the site had never been dug by archaeologists before.
The discovery was announced this week, some 395 years after the first Thanksgiving in 1621.
NATIVE AMERICANS CULTIVATED WILD TURKEYS LONG BEFORE FIRST THANKSGIVING
A team led by Fiske Center Associate Director David Landon were thrilled to discover 17th-century artifacts such as pottery, tins, trade beads and musket balls. The artifacts were discovered around so-called “post and ground construction” – holes for wood where structures once stood.
The finds sparked cautious optimism among the team that they had found a location inside the settlement walls. Soon, they discovered the remains of a calf buried in a pit. The calf, dubbed “Constance” by the team, was a vital clue the settlement. Because native people didn’t have domestic cattle her remains prove that she lived and died within the original Plymouth settlement.
“Constance is a great symbol of this. Oftentimes success in the colony depended on herds of cattle. It became a centerpiece of the economy. So the calf does connect us to that story,” said Landon, in a press release.
16TH-CENTURY SHIPWRECKS FOUND AMID ROCKET DEBRIS OFF FLORIDA COAST
Living history museum Plimoth Plantation, which is about 3 miles south of Burial Hill, partnered with UMass Boston on the project.
“Finding physical evidence of the original Pilgrim settlement is an incredibly exciting discovery that can fundamentally change our understanding of the 17th-century Atlantic world,” explained Kathryn Ness, Plimoth Plantation’s curator of collections, in an email to FoxNews.com. “The UMass Boston team’s discovery as a whole proves that, despite 400 years of development, Plymouth Colony is still here and ready to tell us more about the everyday life of the Pilgrims.”
The discovery will prove extremely valuable in Plimoth Plantation’s work, according to Ness. “At our living history museum, these and future findings will help us further refine our exhibits, as we use archaeological evidence and historical documents as the basis for our portrayal of the past,” she said.
EXPLORERS FIND 2ND-OLDEST CONFIRMED SHIPWRECK IN GREAT LAKES
Landon’s team have been working to find evidence of the original settlement prior to the 400th anniversary of the founding of the Plymouth Colony in 2020. The researchers’ discovery came during the first year of a three-year $200,000 National Endowment of the Humanities grant to study the Plymouth Colony and the colonists’ relations with the indigenous Wampanoag people.
More research will be conducted on the Burial Hill site next summer by Landon and his team.
“We are excited to see what else they find!” Ness told FoxNews.com.
Other experts have also been shedding new light on America’s pre-colonial history. Researchers at Florida State University, for example, have uncovered evidence that wild turkeys were a common part of Native American life long before the first Thanksgiving. Native Americans were managing and raising turkeys as early as 1200 – 1400 A.D., they explained, in a paper published Monday in the Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports.

Three hundred and ninety-five years after Pilgrims celebrated the first Thanksgiving in Plymouth, Massachusetts, researchers from UMass Boston’s Andrew Fiske Memorial Center for Archaeological Research can say they have definitively discovered evidence of the original 1620 Plymouth settlement. Part of the proof involves a calf that UMass Boston students have affectionately named Constance.
For the fourth summer, David Landon, associate director of the Fiske Center, led a group of undergraduate and graduate students in a field school in Plymouth offered through UMass Boston’s College of Advancing and Professional Studies. Landon and the students spent five weeks on Burial Hill looking for the site of the original Pilgrim settlement. Landon’s goal when he started was to find evidence of the original settlement prior to the 400th anniversary of the founding of the Plymouth Colony in 2020. He met his goal four years early, in the first year of a three-year, $200,000 National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) grant.
Because the original structures weren’t built with bricks, the research team couldn’t look for foundations. Rather, they had to look for “post and ground construction” – basically holes for wood, and dirt.
“While we’re digging, we’re constantly in the process of trying to interpret what we’re finding. It really goes to just moving slowly and trying to see if there are any patterns in the flow that we can map out. As soon as that starts, it becomes a slow process. It’s about much more than the artifacts – it’s about trying to pin down soil color and trying to understand constructed features that are no longer there,” Landon said.
But then Landon’s team did start finding 17th century artifacts: 17th century pottery, tins, trade beads, and musket balls – around that post and ground construction. Landon says the students and researchers were at this point cautiously optimistic that they had found a location inside the settlement walls. And then they found “Constance” – a calf buried whole in the bottom-most pit. Because native people didn’t have domestic cattle, Landon says we know that she lived – and died -- in the confines of the original Plymouth settlement.
“Constance is a great symbol of this. Oftentimes success in the colony depended on herds of cattle. It became a centerpiece of the economy. So the calf does connect us to that story,” Landon said.
Kathryn Ness is the curator of collections at Plimoth Plantation, UMass Boston’s partner in this project. She says this discovery is huge.
"Finding evidence of colonial activity inside the original 1620 Plymouth settlement is an incredibly exciting discovery that has the potential to change dramatically our understanding of early European colonization in New England. For the first time, we have proof of where the settlement was located and what kinds of items the Pilgrims owned and used,” Ness said. “At Plimoth Plantation, the team's findings will help us further refine our exhibits, as we use archaeological evidence and historical documents as the basis for our portrayal of the past and to ensure that our buildings, activities and reproduction objects are as accurate as possible. We are looking forward to learning more about their discoveries and seeing what they find next season!"
And Landon and more students and researchers will be back next summer.
“We’ve opened the first window but we want a bigger view. We want the bay window. We want to see if we can find other components,” Landon said.
For now, researchers and students are cleaning, labeling, and researching what was found this past summer. They’re also going to be trying to figure out how Constance died and why she was buried, rather than eaten. ||||| Researchers were cautiously optimistic that they had found a location inside the original Plymouth settlement walls. And then they discovered the remains of this calf, which UMass Boston students affectionately named Constance.
The Pilgrims stepped ashore in Plymouth in 1620, no question. But efforts to pin down exactly where they lived on the first Thanksgiving, and the few precarious decades afterward, have been elusive.
Until now.
On Tuesday, archeologists from the University of Massachusetts Boston said they have discovered what is believed to be part of the original settlement, a conclusion reached through calf’s bones, musket balls, 17th-century ceramics, and brownish soil where a wooden post would have stood.

“Knowing where it is, and that there are pieces that have not been wiped out by construction, will absolutely change what we understand about that settlement,” Ness said. “Archeology helps support the historical record, but it also speaks to those who weren’t writing — the illiterate, children, the animals.”
David Landon, a UMass Boston archeologist who has been digging with his team in Plymouth for the last four summers, said: “We’re thrilled. I’ve never worked harder for something more exciting.”
The breakthrough occurred on Burial Hill, a rise that includes a centuries-old cemetery where historical lore had long placed part of the first settlement. But archeologists had never dug there before — partly through concerns about disturbing the graveyard — until Landon and his team put together a meticulous, sensitive plan to work on the margins.
What they found this summer — in a 17th-century trash pit and in the stained soil that indicated a post hole — told the team members they were turning the very ground where the first settlers lived. The key to that finding was the discovery of a calf’s bones underneath a layer of discarded household artifacts that dated from before 1650, Landon said.
UMass Archeologists and students were meticulous in their efforts to recover artifacts.

The 102 original Pilgrims and their earliest descendants raised domesticated cattle, unlike their Native American neighbors. So, the discovery of calf remains from that time — as well as a post hole to support a wooden house or structure — is compelling evidence that a sliver of the original settlement existed there, Landon said.
“People have never found part of the 17th-century settlement in downtown Plymouth,” Landon said. “For the first time, we found part of the built environment.”
That the area had never been found seems baffling, but knowing approximately where the village had been located suited a great many people for many years. Plymouth Rock, after all, is only an educated guess of where the Pilgrims stepped ashore.
Archeologists also faced the complications posed by layer after layer of development and construction.
“It’s buried underneath a town that grew up for hundreds of years,” said Landon, associate director of the Andrew Fiske Memorial Center for Archeological Research at UMass Boston.

The news was welcomed by people with connections to the Pilgrims.
‘We’re thrilled. I’ve never worked harder for somethingmore exciting.’
A descendant of four of them, Darlene Gardner of East Bridgewater, said the discovery now can help put boundaries on a settlement whose dimensions have long been suspected but never formally determined.
Desiree Mobem, director of the Alden House Historic Site in Duxbury, where the Pilgrim couple John and Priscilla Alden moved after leaving Plymouth in 1627, said she watched some of the dig this summer.
“It’s an unbelievable finding when you consider how much of Plymouth has been built on that,” Mobem said.
The UMass team numbered up to 35 people a day and worked on the site from late May through June, Landon said. What followed has been painstaking and time-consuming work to clean, examine, and inventory the artifacts.
“This is the hard part,” Landon said. “We obsess over each piece of pottery, figuring out exactly what it is.”
The team also found beads that were intended to trade with the Native Americans, he said.
“Our heart was excited about this all summer, but it took a while to convince our head what we actually found,” Landon said.
Undergraduate and graduate students who made up much of the team lived at Plimoth Plantation. The plantation made its public lab available to the students, who worked with the artifacts as visitors watched.
The excavation has shown that Burial Hill also was used by Native Americans before the Pilgrims arrived on a wayward voyage they had thought would take them farther south. The archeologists discovered a stone-tool workshop and pottery on the site, among other Native American artifacts.
Peter Drummey, librarian for the Massachusetts Historical Society, said the finding is “extraordinary.” The written record from the period is significant, but the physical evidence is scant, Drummey said.
“Thinking of the past through documents, you have essentially a two-dimensional description,” he said. But with the artifacts unearthed through archeology, he added, that view expands to three dimensions.
The dig marked an early triumph in Landon’s goal to find evidence of the settlement before 2020, the 400th anniversary of the Pilgrims’ arrival. He has two years remaining in a $200,000, three-year grant for the work from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
“We all have this stereotypical image,” Landon said. “What we’re interested in is what we can say about the reality of it.”

Output: | We likely now know the exact location of the first Pilgrim settlement in the New World—thanks, in part, to a cow named Constance. The Boston Globe reports it's long been known that the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth in 1620, but it was never clear exactly where they built their settlement. Archaeologists from the University of Massachusetts Boston had been digging at a place called Burial Hill—a place believed to have served as a cemetery for the original settlement—for five weeks when they made an exciting find, according to Cape Cod Today. That find? The first evidence in downtown Plymouth of a "built environment" predating 1700. The team found ceramics, musket balls, and more. One of the most important discoveries was evidence that a wooden post had once stood there. "It’s about much more than the artifacts," the head of the archaeology team says. It’s about trying to pin down soil color and trying to understand constructed features that are no longer there." Even better: The team found the remains of a cow, which they named Constance, buried at the site. Native Americans didn't keep domestic cattle. Kathryn Ness at the Plimoth Plantation history museum tells Fox News it's "an incredibly exciting discovery that can fundamentally change our understanding of the 17th-century Atlantic world." The team plans to do more digging next summer and hopes to figure out why Constance was buried instead of eaten. |

In 1880, fourteen-year-old Matthew Henson loved to hear sailors tell tales of their exciting lives at sea. The travel, the adventure, the danger, and the steady pay were all attracting young Henson. One day, he found a job as a cabin boy on a beautiful ship called the Katie Hinds. For the next five years, Henson sailed around the world. With the help of the ship's captain and other members of the crew, Henson learned mathematics, navigation, history, geography, and many other subjects. By the time he left the Katie Hinds in 1885, Henson was well educated and had become an excellent seaman. Unable to find work anywhere else, Henson took a job in a hat shop in Washington, D.C. One day in 1887, a man came in to buy a hat. The man, Robert Peary, asked the owner if he knew anyone with experience at sea. Peary would soon travel to South America for the U.S. government. He needed experienced men to accompany him. The shop owner knew about his young employee's skills and experience on ocean journeys, so he introduced Peary to Henson. Using his map-reading and sailing skills, Henson proved himself to be a worthy and smart seaman. Peary soon made Henson his assistant, and they became close friends. One day Peary told Henson about his real dream: to be the first man to stand on "the top of the world" at the North Pole. He asked Henson to help him make his dream come true. Over the next five years, the two explorers made two trips together to the Arctic. However, they were not able to reach the pole either time. The cold, wind, and ice were worse than either of them had ever imagined. In 1908, Peary and Henson were ready to make their final attempt at reaching the North Pole. Both men were over forty years old. The years of hardship in the arctic cold had made them suffer a lot. This would be their last chance. With four Inuit guides, they made a mad rush straight across the ice toward the pole. Peary's feet were injured and he had to be pulled on a dogsled. In April 1909, Henson's instruments showed they were standing... On their trip to the North Pole, Henson and Peary could best be compared to _ . A) treasure hunters seeking big fortunes B) generals seeking power over another country C) soldiers going to war to fight for their freedom D) fighters performing a task in an unknown land

Regarded as one of the English language's most naturally gifted poets, John Keats wrote poetry that concentrated on imagery, human nature, and philosophy. Although Keats didn't receive much formal literary education, his own studies and passion brought him much success. Additionally, his own life situation influenced his poetry greatly. Growing up as a young kid in London in a lower, middle-class family, the young John didn't attend a private school, but went to public school in Enfield, near his home. His teachers and his family's friends regarded him as an optimistic boy who liked playing and fighting much more than minding his studies. After his father's death in the early 1800s, followed by his mother's passing away due to illness, he began to view life differently. He wanted to escape the world and did so by reading anything he could get his hands on. At around the age of 16, the teenage John Keats began studying under a surgeon so that he too might become a doctor. However, his literary appetite had taken too much of his time, especially with his addiction to the poetry of Edmund Spenser. He was able to have his first full poem published in the Examinerin 1816, namedO Solitude! If I must with thee dwell. Within two months in 1817, Keats had written an entire volume of poetry that would be published, but criticized sharply in Blackwood's Magazine. However, the negative response didn't stop him. John Keats' next work to be published was Endymion, which he wrote in 1817 and was published in May 1818. The story involves a boy who falls in love with the moon goddess and leads him on an adventure of one boy's hope to overcome the limitations of being human. FollowingEndymion, he wroteIsabella. During this time, John Keats began seeing his limitations in poetry due to his own limit in life experiences. He would have to have the "knowledge" associated with his poems. His next work wasHyperionthat would attempt to combine all he learned. However, a bout with tuberculosis while visiting Italy kept him from his... Like his mother, John Keats _ . A) read many storybooks B) had a terrible childhood C) died of sickness D) showed strong interest in poetry

Argentina in the late nineteenth century was an exciting place. Around 1870,it was experiencing an economic boom, and the capital, Buenos Aires, attracted many people. Farmers, as well as a flood of foreigners from Spain and Italy, came to Buenos Aires seeking jobs. These jobs didn't pay well, and the people felt lonely and disappointed with their new life in the city. As the unhappy newcomers mixed together in the poor parts of the city, the dance known an the tango came into being. At the beginning the tango was a dance of the lower classes. It was danced in the bars and streets. At that time there many fewer women the men, so if a man didn't want to be left out, his only choice was to dance with another man so that he could attract the attention of the few available women. Gradually, the dance spread into the upper classes of Argentinean society and became more respectable. In Europe at this time, strong interest in dance from around the world was beginning. This interest in international dance was especially evident in Paris. Every kind of dance from ballet to belly dancing could be found on the stages of the Paris theaters of the Paris theaters.

Mold grows in the buckets positioned to catch the water. She shrugs it off. Outside her office she has taped up a clear plastic suit, and a sign that reads, "All employees must don protective gear before coming in." Such is life in limbo. Nearly a year after Sept. 11, the Legal Aid Society-the lawyers for New York's poor and homeless-remains, well, homeless. The nonprofit has been barred from returning to its 90 Church St. headquarters, across from the World Trade Center site, because of environmental concerns. Legal Aid has uncomfortable company. More than 11,500 New Yorkers continue to work out of temporary space, according to analysis by Manhattan-based real estate brokerage TenantWise.com Inc. and Crain's New York Business. That's 8% of the 137,000 workers who lost their offices or access to them when the Twin Towers collapsed. Legal Aid's 450 displaced attorneys and staffers have spent the past 12 months spread among previously unused spaces-some unused for good reason-in the nonprofit's other offices. It could be another year and a half before they return to their old desks. They have contended with difficult working conditions as demand for Legal Aid's services is on the rise because of Sept. 11 and the deteriorating economy. The civil division is spread among a few boroughs. Their papers and documents, some 20,000 boxes worth, are stuck in a storage facility in Linden, N.J. "I am counting the days till we can have all the parts back in one place," says Steven Banks, Legal Aid's associate attorney in chief.

As soon as I saw her, I understood I was in trouble. The tiny 10-year-old girl was staring at me with that specific facial expression which probably only dentists have to enjoy all day long! Whatever question I asked, whatever activity I suggested, her reaction was pretty much the same -- she was frozen with horror. She was sent to our private language school after having been the worst in English at her key school with a pretty strict ELT syllabus , with her peers teasing her for her mistakes in English. Moreover, her state school teacher called her name. To make things worse, she was under pressure from her family for getting bad marks in English. She was definitely expecting me to carry on the same way with her. I have to admit that I had been staring at her with probably the same expression for a while before eventually she handed in an absolutely incredible composition which I had previously asked the class to write. It was written in perfect handwriting, was full of clever ideas and had correct paragraphing. The girl got her first excellent mark in English, and I praised her generously and from then on I started using her writing skills to support the others. Before doing an oral retelling of a story, she wrote it down. Before presenting her oral project, she was allowed to do the same thing. The day she first put up her hand to orally answer my question addressed to the class I was incredibly happy. She taught me how to approach withdrawn students -- find the skill which they can excel at, in her case writing, and help the student use it to develop other skills! The writer is probably a teacher _ . A) in a language training center B) in a private language school C) in a state school D) in a key public school

See one example below:
Problem: 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.

Image copyright Reuters Image caption Brock Turner was seen by two other students sexually assaulting the woman in 2016
A lawyer for a former US student convicted of sexually assaulting an unconscious woman has launched an appeal to have the ruling overturned.
Brock Turner was sentenced to six months in jail in 2016 for assaulting the woman outside a Stanford University fraternity house a year earlier.
The sentencing judge was widely criticised for leniency and removed from office by voters in June.
On Tuesday, his lawyer argued there had been insufficient evidence to convict.
Turner, a champion swimmer, was found guilty of three felony charges.
His lawyer Eric Multhaup told justices at a California appeals court that there was no evidence to prove at what point the woman became unconscious, US media report.
He said the jury had had to "speculate" and had "filled in the blanks" to reach their conclusion.
Mr Multhaup described his client's actions as "outercourse", meaning a sexual act while clothed, as opposed to intent to rape.
Deputy Attorney General Alisha Carlile argued that there had been "ample" evidence for the convictions.
The appeals court judges appeared sceptical of Mr Multhaup's arguments, the Associated Press news agency reported. They are expected to reach their decision within 90 days.
Turner, 22, was not present during Tuesday's hearing.
Although prosecutors had sought a six-year term, Turner was sentenced to six months and released after serving only three. He was placed on the sex-offenders register for life.
Image copyright Getty Images Image caption Anger at the sentence sparked a campaign to have Judge Aaron Persky recalled
The case sparked a debate in the US about sexual assault and whether white men from wealthy backgrounds are treated more favourably by courts.
Outrage at the sentencing was compounded by a letter from Turner's father saying his son's life would "never be the one that he dreamed about... a steep price to pay for 20 minutes of action out of his 20-plus years of life".
The victim, who has remained anonymous, directly addressed Turner in court and made a moving impact statement that was widely read online.
Judge Aaron Persky was later removed from his post by voters in Santa Clara County following a campaign to unseat him.
He said he had no regrets about the case and had been bound by sentencing and probation guidelines.
Judge Persky was cleared of misconduct by the California Commission on Judicial Performance. ||||| SAN JOSE — A lawyer for a former Stanford swimmer whose conviction on sexual assault charges led to the extremely rare recall of a judge tried to convince an appellate court Tuesday to overturn his client’s conviction — on the novel grounds that the athlete wanted “outercourse” with his intoxicated victim, not intercourse.
“Outercourse,” his lawyer Eric S. Multhaup explained to the three poker-faced justices, is sexual contact while fully clothed. Turner had his clothes on when he was caught by two Swedish graduate students making thrusting motions on top of a half-naked, intoxicated, unconscious woman, his lawyer noted.
The hearing is the latest development in a high-profile case that led last month to the recall of the judge, who gave Turner what many considered a lenient six-month jail sentence for the sexual assault outside a campus fraternity party in 2015. It was the first time in 86 years that voters have recalled a judge in California.
Although Turner wound up serving only three months, he is required under a state law to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life because of his conviction on the charge of attempting to rape an intoxicated person. The jury also found Turner guilty of two counts of digital penetration. He has moved back to Ohio and was not at Tuesday’s hearing.
Multhaup focused Tuesday on trying to convince the justices to overturn the attempted rape charge, arguing there wasn’t sufficient evidence for the jury to find him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Turner never intended to rape the woman, he said.
But the justices appeared skeptical of his argument. The panel has 90 days — until late October — to issue a ruling.
“I absolutely don’t understand what you are talking about,” Justice Franklin D. Elia said, adding that the law “requires the jury verdict to be honored.”
“We are not in a position to say (of the jury), you should have gone a different way.”
Justice Adrienne Grover tried to clarify Multhaup’s argument. “You’re saying (the jury) made unreasonable inferences?”
“Yes!” Multhaup said. ”They filled in the blanks.”
But Elia didn’t seem to buy it.
Related Articles Brock Turner: Justices reject ‘outercourse’ argument, upholds conviction “Intent is rarely proved by direct evidence,” he said, noting that it’s typically based on circumstantial evidence. “You can’t surgically remove things and look at them separately.”
Assistant Attorney General Alisha Carlile didn’t mince words. She argued that Multhaup had presented a “far-fetched version of events” that didn’t support the facts of the case.
The Stanford law school professor who led the campaign to recall Judge Aaron Persky said Turner had a chance to make that argument at trial, but did not.
“Now, he has a brand new story,” Michele Dauber said in a phone interview Tuesday, contending that Turner, who testified in his own defense, lied on the stand. “It’s inappropriate to ask the appeals court to substitute its judgment for the jury.” ||||| Brock Turner leaves the Santa Clara County Main Jail in San Jose, Calif., on Sept. 2, 2016.

Lawyers for Brock Turner, the former Stanford University swimmer whose conviction and sentencing cast a national spotlight on treatment of sexual assault cases, sought a new trial Tuesday before a three-judge panel in San Jose, California.
The judges should rule on the request within 90 days.
In papers filed in December, his lawyers said the initial trial was “a detailed and lengthy set of lies.” Although Turner has been released from jail, a new trial could help overturn his mandatory lifetime requirement to register as a sex offender.
Turner, 22, was convicted in March 2016 of assault with intent to commit rape of an intoxicated/unconscious person and related charges stemming from an attack outside a Stanford fraternity in January 2015.
The victim, identified as Emily Doe, read an emotional 7,000-word statement during the sentencing detailing the impact to her life and the horror of the 2015 attack. Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Aaron Persky sentenced Turner, who could have faced 14 years in prison, to six months behind bars.

The sentencing outraged victims' rights advocates. And Turner served only about half of that time due to good behavior in jail.
The victim statement, however, quickly went viral, drawing more than 10 million views within four days and resonating with thousands of sexual assault survivors across the nation.
The state legislature noticed, and later that year Gov. Jerry Brown signed a bill that toughens penalties for attacks on unconscious victims.
Last month, Persky became the first California jurist recalled from the bench in 86 years.

Eric S. Multhaup—who's hoping to overturn Turner's conviction for the attempted rape of an intoxicated person, which came with a lifelong requirement to register as a sex offender in addition to a three-month prison stay—argued Tuesday that Turner was seeking fully clothed sexual contact when he was found thrusting on a half-naked, unconscious woman. Per USA Today, Multhaup appeared before a three-judge panel in San Jose, claiming that Turner had his clothes on and never intended to rape his victim. The "poker-faced justices ... appeared skeptical of his argument," reports the San Jose Mercury News. Indeed, Justice Franklin D. Elia announced, "I absolutely don't understand what you are talking about." Multhaup went on to argue that the jury had insufficient evidence to convict—he said it was unclear when the intoxicated victim known as Emily Doe fell unconscious—and improperly "filled in the blanks" in the case, per the BBC. "Intent is rarely proved by direct evidence," Elia responded, citing reliance on circumstantial evidence, per the Mercury News. "We are not in a position to say [of the jury], you should have gone a different way," he added, while Deputy Attorney General Alisha Carlile said there was "ample" evidence to convict. Turner, 22, lives in Ohio and wasn't present for the hearing, which follows the June ousting of his sentencing judge. A ruling is expected by late October. |

Rapper and actor Snoop Dogg is calling for a boycott of the new Roots miniseries in an expletive-filled social media post.
In the video on Instagram and Twitter, Snoop Dogg rails about the remake of Roots, which premieres Monday as a four-night series on History, A&E and Lifetime channels.
The remake is based on ABC's landmark 1977 miniseries of the same name, taken from author Alex Haley's 1976 novel, which explored the horrors of American slavery.
"I'm sick of this. ... How the (expletive) they gonna put Roots on Memorial Day?" a subdued Snoop Dogg asks in the selfie video. "They just going to keep beating that (expletive) into our heads as to how they did us, huh?"
Warning: Video contains extensive profanity.

He takes exception to the portrayal of slavery in Roots and the movie 12 Years A Slave, which won the best picture Oscar in 2014 and a best supporting actress award for Lupita Nyong'o.
"I don't understand America. They just want to keep showing the abuse that we took hundreds and hundreds of years ago. But guess what? We're taking the same abuse," he says. "Think about that part. When you all going to make a (expletive) series about the success that black folks is having. The only success we have is Roots and 12 Years A Slave?"

Snoop Dogg says he won't watch Roots and calls upon other African-Americans to follow suit.
"Let's create our own (expletive) based on today. How we live and how we inspire people today. Black is what's real," he says.
USA TODAY has reached out to the History Channel for comment.
Earlier, Roots co-executive producer LeVar Burton, who played the central character in the 1977 miniseries, enslaved protagonist Kunta Kinte, told USA TODAY that the remake was needed as part of a national discussion.
"We are clearly engaged in the conversation in America and it's one where everybody needs to be involved," Burton says. "If you are living in America right now, then the story of slavery is relevant to you, because it's shaped the country and the culture in which you live, whether you want to admit that or not."

The remake of Roots has gained widespread critical acclaim – but not from Snoop Dogg, who posted a short video on Instagram on Monday criticising the show, and suggesting that African Americans should not watch it.
In the video, the rapper said that he was fed up with watching films and TV shows that depicted the abuse of black Americans. “12 Years a Slave, Roots, Underground, I can’t watch none of that shit,” Snoop Dogg said, also taking aim at the Steve McQueen-directed Oscar-winning film and the WGN TV series about slaves in Georgia escaping via an underground railroad, which was recently renewed for a second season.

“They just want to keep showing us the abuse that we took hundreds and hundreds of years ago,” said Snoop Dogg. “But guess what – we’re taking the same abuse. Think about that part. Why don’t y’all go and make a muthafuckin’ series about the success that black folks is having?”
The rapper is at least leading by example, with a current web series on AOL called Coach Snoop, which follows the Snoop Youth Football League. Snoop Dogg set up the league with the aim of getting inner-city children aged between five and 13 involved in football, and is its coach and commissioner.
Roots, meanwhile, revisits one of the most successful shows in US television history for the Black Lives Matter era. British actor Malachi Kirby stars as enslaved Gambian warrior Kunta Kinte in the first episode, which aired in America on Sunday. The show is executive produced by LeVar Burton, who played Kunta Kinte in the original 70s miniseries, which was based on the book by Malcolm X biographer Alex Haley.
Snoop Dogg concluded that he would not watch Roots, and advised his fans to avoid it. “Let’s create our own shit based on today, how we living and how we inspire people today. Black is what’s real. Fuck that old shit.” ||||| Starting in 1996, Alexa Internet has been donating their crawl data to the Internet Archive.

| To Snoop Dogg, Roots, 12 Years a Slave, Underground, and other depictions of slavery apparently aren't important history lessons, but attempts to rub black people's faces in the oppression they suffered centuries ago. In an expletive-filled Instagram video, the rapper urges fans to steer clear of the History Channel's Roots remake, People reports. "They gonna just keep beating that [expletive] in our heads of how they did us, huh?" he says. "They just want to keep showing the abuse that we took hundreds and hundreds of years ago. But, guess what? We taking the same abuse." He then wonders: "When you all going to make a [expletive] series about the success black folks is having?" Many Instagram commenters strongly disagreed with Snoop. "If the main theme one gets out of Roots is people getting beat then they may be viewing the series with tunnel vision and miss the resilience, strength, and humanity of a people in the face of unimaginable conditions," wrote "monecho1." Before Snoop's comments, Roots remake co-producer LeVar Burton, who starred in the original series, told USA Today that the new series should be part of the national conversation. "If you are living in America right now, then the story of slavery is relevant to you, because it's shaped the country and the culture in which you live, whether you want to admit that or not," he said. The Guardian notes that Snoop said black people should create works based on "how we inspire people today" and is walking it like he talks it: He's starring in the Coach Snoop reality series about the Snoop Youth Football League, which he set up to help inner-city children. |

FBI On the Case for Leslie Jones' Hackers
EXCLUSIVE
The FBI is now on the hunt for the hackers who violated SNL's Leslie Jones ... TMZ has learned.
Sources familiar with the situation tell us, the FBI is developing a strategy for tracking down the person or people who hacked into her iCloud and cell phone and posted nude photos and personal information on her website.
It's unclear whether agents from the West Coast or East Coast will launch the investigation ... Leslie lives in both New York and L.A.
From what we can gather, this is exclusively an FBI investigation ... we've checked with both the NYPD and the LAPD and they don't have the case. |||||
A: | Hollywood is rallying behind Leslie Jones after a hacker leaked nude photos and other personal info about her. "Yo real talk though..LEAVE LESLIE JONES ALONE!!! She has done nothing to deserve the treatment these BUTT holes are giving her!" tweeted Jay Pharoah on Wednesday. His was just one of many tweets supporting Jones, which came from her Saturday Night Live co-stars, SNL guests, and other celebrities, USA Today reports. "I truly don't know why people are so hateful towards @Lesdoggg. Why?" tweeted Gabourey Sidibe. "She's talented and wonderful. Why are people so pressed to be awful?" Several people called out the racism inherent in the attacks on Jones; Questlove went so far as to call the hack a "hate crime." Milo Yiannopoulos, the Breitbart editor who was at the center of Twitter attacks against Jones last month, told CNNMoney in a statement: "I'm distressed to hear that Leslie Jones has been hacked and naked pictures of her have been posted online." The FBI is investigating the hack, TMZ reports. Jones has not commented on it, and her personal website was still offline as of Thursday morning. |

The one person who, by his interference, could have settled all doubts was debarred by circumstances from interfering in the matter. Wykham Delandre had quarrelled with his sister--or perhaps it was that she had quarrelled with him--and they were on terms not merely of armed neutrality but of bitter hatred. The quarrel had been antecedent to Margaret going to Brent's Rock. She and Wykham had almost come to blows. There had certainly been threats on one side and on the other; and in the end Wykham, overcome with passion, had ordered his sister to leave his house. She had risen straightway, and, without waiting to pack up even her own personal belongings, had walked out of the house. On the threshold she had paused for a moment to hurl a bitter threat at Wykham that he would rue in shame and despair to the last hour of his life his act of that day. Some weeks had since passed; and it was understood in the neighbourhood that Margaret had gone to London, when she suddenly appeared driving out with Geoffrey Brent, and the entire neighbourhood knew before nightfall that she had taken up her abode at the Rock. It was no subject of surprise that Brent had come back unexpectedly, for such was his usual custom. Even his own servants never knew when to expect him, for there was a private door, of which he alone had the key, by which he sometimes entered without anyone in the house being aware of his coming. This was his usual method of appearing after a long absence. <sep>Did Wykham and Margaret almost come to blows before or after she went to Brent's Rock?<sep>Before she went to Brent's Rock

Q: 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.

Q: What happened to some of the slaves that were sold or traded?, Context: For centuries, various peoples in modern-day Nigeria traded overland with traders from North Africa. Cities in the area became regional centres in a broad network of trade routes that spanned western, central and northern Africa. In the 16th century, Spanish and Portuguese explorers were the first Europeans to begin significant, direct trade with peoples of modern-day Nigeria, at the port they named Lagos and in Calabar. Europeans traded goods with peoples at the coast; coastal trade with Europeans also marked the beginnings of the Atlantic slave trade. The port of Calabar on the historical Bight of Biafra (now commonly referred to as the Bight of Bonny) become one of the largest slave trading posts in West Africa in the era of the transatlantic slave trade. Other major slaving ports in Nigeria were located in Badagry, Lagos on the Bight of Benin and on Bonny Island on the Bight of Biafra. The majority of those enslaved and taken to these ports were captured in raids and wars. Usually the captives were taken back to the conquerors' territory as forced labour; after time, they were sometimes acculturated and absorbed into the conquerors' society. A number of slave routes were established throughout Nigeria linking the hinterland areas with the major coastal ports. Some of the more prolific slave traders were linked with the Oyo Empire in the southwest, the Aro Confederacy in the southeast and the Sokoto Caliphate in the north.
A: | they were sometimes acculturated and absorbed into the conquerors' society |

Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: What order where the Europeans attached to that embraced ecstatic mysticism on a grand scale?, Context: The Dominican Order was affected by a number of elemental influences. Its early members imbued the order with a mysticism and learning. The Europeans of the order embraced ecstatic mysticism on a grand scale and looked to a union with the Creator.

The Dartford nuns were surrounded by all of these legacies, and used them to create something unique. Though they are not called mystics, they are known for their piety toward God and their determination to live lives devoted to, and in emulation of, Him.

question:
The most heat-treatable alloys are decided but only?, Context: Conversely, most heat-treatable alloys are precipitation hardening alloys, which produce the opposite effects that steel does. When heated to form a solution and then cooled quickly, these alloys become much softer than normal, during the diffusionless transformation, and then harden as they age. The solutes in these alloys will precipitate over time, forming intermetallic phases, which are difficult to discern from the base metal. Unlike steel, in which the solid solution separates to form different crystal phases, precipitation hardening alloys separate to form different phases within the same crystal. These intermetallic alloys appear homogeneous in crystal structure, but tend to behave heterogeneous, becoming hard and somewhat brittle.
answer:
Conversely
question:
How can you get to Plymouth?, Context: The Exeter to Plymouth railway of the LSWR needs to be reopened to connect Cornwall and Plymouth to the rest of the UK railway system on an all weather basis.

*Question*
When we are unfamiliar with something, we may feel nervous and fearful. The help of others is a good way to make us pull through. I write for a big newspaper, and I wanted to write a story about parachute jumping. To make it a realistic as well as exciting story, I decided that I first had to make a jump myself. Unfortunately, I am not good at any sport of any kind, let alone parachute jumping. My friend Mr. Smith was willing to give me a hand. He took me to a ground school. The first day's training included several hours of instruction but not my first drop from an airplane. For this, I had to wait until the following morning. The next morning, after a hurried, anxious breakfast, I was taken to the airfield. There, two heavy parachutes were put on my back. Then I was asked to make my way to a small plane which had just stopped slowly on the runway. Once on the plane, it was soon climbing. I began to feel nervous. As we reached one thousand meters, Harry, my teacher, hooked a line from my parachute to a steel ring inside the plane. The line was to pull my parachute open after I jumped. "Get ready, Henry," Harry said. I moved carefully to the door. I wanted to cry, "No, no, no!" but no word came. "Jump!" Harry called out loudly. "Jump!" To my surprise, kicking like a frog, I did jump. Away from the plane, and down, down I fell. It worked! The air seemed to hold me up. I was very happy. Then I felt a quick pull. My big parachute had opened! It was like the best surprise I'd ever had. I looked down. There were rivers, trees, fields and houses. I heard the soft sound of the air. This was fun! The writer made a parachute jump himself _ . A) to learn more about parachute jumping B) to make his story realistic and exciting C) to have a rest from his busy work D) to prove to others his skill and courage

News that Microsoft was making a $44.6 billion bid to buy Yahoo was greeted with heated discussion by many Internet users on Friday. Here are some responses: Mark Galeassi of Kansas City, Missouri This is the best move for both parties. Yahoo has the ideas and Microsoft has the money to finally market these ideas correctly. Microsoft and Yahoo are a perfect fit and the deal will be good for consumers. Scott G of New Jersey I was a Yahoo user for years along with Hotmail from Microsoft. Then Google came along: Google Earth, Google Toolbar and Gmail. Google is so innovative with everything they do. Yahoo and Microsoft... same old story... I don't think the merger will do anything for either company except improve the Yahoo shareholders' bank accounts. Michael Glosser of Estero, Florida Right now, Yahoo offers a lot of features and tools at no cost for all different levels of Internet users. Microsoft seeks nothing but profit. Undoubtedly, they'll do nothing other than find ways to start removing Yahoo's formerly non-priced features. Microsoft's greed will ruin the great thing that Yahoo currently is. Toni Suarez of Hacienda Heights, California Perhaps it would bring better high technology innovations to e-mail and help in researching and developing a better Internet! Antonio Simmons of Parkville, Maryland Microsoft purchasing Yahoo would be nothing more than an attempt from Microsoft to further impose upon the users their poor-quality software and obtain more wealth for the company.

Toyota Motor Corp, Japan's biggest carmaker, said on Friday it will recall 1,489 Lexus sedans sold in China. "It will take us some time to ship the fuel tanks and vent pipes to China to change those in these Lexus sedans for customers free of charge, if problems are found," said Yang Hongjian, a spokes- woman of Toyota's China representative office. The expected recall will affect Lexus LS430 sedans made in Japan from July 29, 2003 to January 14, 2004, the representative office said in a statement. Toyota has not received complaints from Chinese customers, according to the statement. The move will be part of Toyota's global recall of 18,200 Lexus LS430s. It will be the third car recall in China in two weeks. Although automobile recall is a common practice in developed markets, it remains new to Chinese customers. The Chinese government published long-awaited automobile recall rules on March 15, which will be officially carried out at the beginning of October. China's auto market is forecast to reach 10 million units by 2010. Automakers, especially Chinese producers, will face greater pressure from automobile recalls, which could be very costly sometimes, and should be in full preparations, according to the expert. The Japanese carmaker sold 1, 549 Lexus vehicles on the Chinese mainland during the first five months of this year, according to Yang. Lexus sales on the mainland reached 4,000 units last year, up from 1,600 units in 2002. (China Daily July 3, 2004) Which of the following is the best tide of this passage? A) Toyota to Recall Its Lexus Sedans Sold in China B) China Prepares to Recall Cars C) The Problems in China's Car Market D) Costly Japanese Car Recalls

Imagine living locked inside a closet. You can't choose when and what to eat or how you will spend your time. You can't even decide when the lights go on and off. Think about spending your whole life like this. This is the life of lab animals. Now consider the needs of these animals. Chimpanzees ,in their natural homes, are never separated from their families. They spend hours together every day. But in a lab, chimpanzees are put in cages alone. There are no families, only cold, hard cages, and loneliness that goes on for so many years that most of them lose their minds at last. Worse yet are the experiments. Animals are given diseases they would never normally get. Experimenters force-feed(......) chemicals to them, conduct repeated surgeries ,and much more, Think of what it would be like to put up with these and then be thrown back into a cage, usually without any painkillers. Often animals see other animals being killed right in front of them. Hundreds of thousands of animals are poisoned, blinded, and killed every year in product tests for shampoos, skin creams and new cancer drugs. Although more than 500 companies have stopped testing on animals, some of them still force chemicals into monkeys' stomachs and rabbits' eyes. Although some facilities are better than others at caring for animals--not every lab worker kills a mouse by cutting off its head with scissors--there are no happy animals inside laboratories. Will the lab life end? When will it end? The passage mainly tells us about _ . A) animals' lives in laboratories B) cruel experiments on animals C) the needs of animals in labs D) facilities used to care for animals

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

Romero was in court Thursday to seek 150,000 euros in damages from the then-Madrid health minister she accuses of blaming her for catching the disease. He publicly apologized for the comments and later resigned.Teresa Romero Ramos is suing Madrid regional authorities for putting down her dogShe is also suing the ex-regional health minister, who she says blamed her for falling ill"It's clear they were not ready to look after a possible case of Ebola," she says of hospitalRomero wants to see revised protocols for health workers caring for Ebola patients

In this task, you are given Wikipedia articles on a range of topics, we ask you to write a question based on the content of the articles that can be answered in a binary manner i.e. True or False.
One example: Property tax -- Property tax or 'house tax' is a local tax on buildings, along with appurtenant land. It is and imposed on the Possessor (not the custodian of property as per 1978, 44th amendment of constitution). It resembles the US-type wealth tax and differs from the excise-type UK rate. The tax power is vested in the states and is delegated to local bodies, specifying the valuation method, rate band, and collection procedures. The tax base is the annual rental value (ARV) or area-based rating. Owner-occupied and other properties not producing rent are assessed on cost and then converted into ARV by applying a percentage of cost, usually four percent. Vacant land is generally exempt. Central government properties are exempt. Instead a 'service charge' is permissible under executive order. Properties of foreign missions also enjoy tax exemption without requiring reciprocity. The tax is usually accompanied by service taxes, e.g., water tax, drainage tax, conservancy (sanitation) tax, lighting tax, all using the same tax base. The rate structure is flat on rural (panchayat) properties, but in the urban (municipal) areas it is mildly progressive with about 80% of assessments falling in the first two brackets.
Solution is here: is house tax and property tax are same
Explanation: The question generated asks whether the house tax and property tax are the same and can be answered by reading the passage. Additionally, it has a binary answer and hence the generated question is correct.
Now, solve this: Faster-than-light -- The phase velocity of an electromagnetic wave, when traveling through a medium, can routinely exceed c, the vacuum velocity of light. For example, this occurs in most glasses at X-ray frequencies. However, the phase velocity of a wave corresponds to the propagation speed of a theoretical single-frequency (purely monochromatic) component of the wave at that frequency. Such a wave component must be infinite in extent and of constant amplitude (otherwise it is not truly monochromatic), and so cannot convey any information. Thus a phase velocity above c does not imply the propagation of signals with a velocity above c.
Solution: | can phase velocity be greater than speed of light |

Input: RIAA Certification -- A Gold record is a single or album that has sold 500,000 units (records, tapes or compact discs). The award was launched in 1958; originally, the requirement for a Gold single was one million units sold and a Gold album represented $1 million in sales (at wholesale value, around a third of the list price). In 1975, the additional requirement of 500,000 units sold was added for Gold albums. Reflecting growth in record sales, the Platinum award was added in 1976 for albums selling one million units, and singles selling two million units. The Multi-Platinum award was introduced in 1984, signifying multiple Platinum levels of albums and singles. In 1989, the sales thresholds for singles were reduced to 500,000 for Gold and 1,000,000 for Platinum, reflecting a decrease in sales of singles. In 1992, RIAA began counting each disc in a multi-disc set as one unit toward certification. Reflecting additional growth in music sales, the Diamond award was instituted in 1999 for albums or singles selling ten million units. Because of these changes in criteria, the sales level associated with a particular award depends on when the award was made.

Ques:Like the Five Olympic Rings from which they draw their color and inspiration, the Five Friendlies will serve as the Official Mascots of Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, carrying a message of friendship and peace and blessings from China to children all over the world. Designed to express the playful qualities of five little children who form an intimate circle of friends, the Five Friendlies also embody the natural characteristics of four of China's most popular animals--the Fish, the Panda, the Tibetan Antelope, the Swallow--and the Olympic Flame. Each of the Friendlies has a rhyming two-syllable name--a traditional way of expressing affection for children in China. Beibei is the Fish, Jingjing is the Panda, Huanhuan is the Olympic Flame, Yingying is the Tibetan Antelope and Nini is the Swallow. When you put their names together--Bei Jing Huan Ying Ni--they say "Welcome to Beijing," offering a warm invitation that reflects the mission of the Five Friendlies as young ambassadors for the Olympic Games. The Five Friendlies also embody both the landscape and the dreams and aspirations of people from every part of the vast country of China. In their origins and their headpieces, you can see the five elements of nature--the sea, forest, fire, earth and sky--all stylistic rendered in ways that represent the deep traditional influences of Chinese folk art and ornamentation.

Ques:Fans are desperate to lay their hands on the larger-screen iPhone 6, thanks to Apple's "hunger marketing". Analysts are busy debating which of the phones giants --Apple, Samsung or Xiaomi -- leads the Chinese market. But too few people spare a thought to environmental damage caused by cell phones. Indeed, smartphones are great innovative tools, but they also make people change phones that are as good as new, and thus worsen the already serious environmental pollution. Theoretically, a cell phone can be used for eight years, but in practice one lasts 15 months on average in China, according to D. Phone. From production to disposal, cell phones, even those made by big brands like Apple and Samsung, pollute the environment. A study by the Ecology Center of Ann Arbor, Michigan, and ifixit.com showed that each of the 36 dissected phone models contained at least one of the following poisonous elements: lead, bromine, chlorine, mercury and cadmium. And these poisonous elements are linked to birth defects, impaired learning and other serious health problems. China, the largest phone-making country and smartphone market, should be alarmed by the environment damage caused by cell phones. So there is no reason to celebrate the "good news" that last year China produced about 1.46 billion cell phones, about 81.1 percent of the total global output, and 340 million smartphones were sold in the country -- a figure that is expected to cross 400 million this year. In fact, Apple's production chain best shows the urgency for China's manufacturing sector to climb up the global value chain. Apple products are designed in the US, assembled in China and sold across the world. And while Apple takes away the lion's share of the profits, Chinese workers can barely manage to keep their pots boiling and the environment ends up paying the heaviest price. Which of the following cellphone brands is NOT mentioned in the text? A) Huawei. B) Apple. C) Samsung. D) Xiaomi.

Ques: When several different people look at the same person,it's not unusual for each of them to see different things;when you alone observe one behavior or one person at two different times,you may see different things.The following are but some of the factors that lead to these changing perceptions . (1)Each person's perceptions of others are formed by his or her own cultural conditioning education,and personal experiences. (2)Sometimes perceptions differ because of what we choose to observe and how we deal with what we've observed.It is not necessarily true that person's perception is based on observations of a particular person.Your observations may be totally controlled by what others have told you about this person;or you may focus primarily on the situation or role relationship.Most people do not use the same yardstick to measure their parents,their friends and strangers. (3)Sometimes we see only what we want to see or don't see what may be obvious to others because of our own needs,desires,or temporary emotional states.This is a process known as selective perception.Selective perception is obviously more difficult when contradictory information is particularly obvious,but it can be done.We can ignore the " _ ".He's basically a good boy so what I saw was not shoplifting.

Ques: Ask anybody out there, what is the most important thing in his life - Fame, Fortune and Money, and there is a chance that he is going to say, money, because with that, fame and fortune comes quite easily. On the other hand, if you add "family" to these three choices given above, there is a chance that 99% of the people are going to put their family first, especially if they happen to be ladies! The main reason is because nature has created a woman to be the cherisher and the nurturer of the family, while the man is the hunter and protector of his little family. That is the natural rule which has come down through thousands of years. Even if a person happens to be a comparatively worldly-wise person and has no idea of taking on the responsibility of a family, he has a picture of a tight little _ in his subconscious . They tell a story about a successful millionaire businessman who died and the whole city came to pay its respects. One of his business competitors, met the son and said, "We are really going to miss your father. You see, I knew your father well." And the son replied, "You happen to be really lucky there, because I never did." So, you might be an extremely successful person in your own right upon Wall Street, but if your little child fails to come running out to welcome his daddy at the end of the day to be swung up in his father's arms and held there lovingly and protectively, you come in the "nothing" category in the business of life. Many people are under the impression that taking on the responsibility of the family is quite tiresome, but they do not know what it takes to be a parent. It is very easy to be a biological father or a biological mother, but the real mother and the real father is that person who stays awake all night when the baby is teething, teaches him right from wrong, is there to hold him when he takes his first steps, and in every way shows that he is there to cherish and protect the little one from harm. There was a man who did not believe in family, because of an... In the writer's view, the millionaire businessman _ . A) won respect from the whole city B) was fortunate to have a loving son C) achieved great success in his life D) was a failure in the business of life

New input: Albrecht Durer (/'dU@r@r, 'djU@r@r/; German: ['albRect 'dy:Ra]; 21 May 1471 - 6 April 1528) was a painter, printmaker and theorist of the German Renaissance. Born in Nuremberg, Durer established his reputation and influence across Europe when he was still in his twenties, due to his high-quality woodcut prints. He was in communication with the major Italian artists of his time, including Raphael, Giovanni Bellini and Leonardo da Vinci, and from 1512 he was patronized by emperor Maximilian I. His vast body of work includes engravings, his preferred technique in his later prints, altarpieces, portraits and self-portraits, watercolours and books. The woodcuts, such as the Apocalypse series (1498), retain a more Gothic flavour than the rest of his work. His well-known engravings include the Knight, Death, and the Devil (1513), Saint Jerome in his Study (1514) and Melencolia I (1514), which has been the subject of extensive analysis and interpretation. His watercolours also mark him as one of the first European landscape artists, while his ambitious woodcuts revolutionized the potential of that medium. Durer's introduction of classical motifs into Northern art, through his knowledge of Italian artists and German humanists, has secured his reputation as one of the most important figures of the Northern Renaissance. This is reinforced by his theoretical treatises, which involve principles of mathematics, perspective and ideal proportions. <sep>Durer secured his reputation in Northern Europe by the knowledge of what specific artists?<sep>Raphael
Solution: | Yes |

The judge leaned back in his chair and beckoned to Mr. Andrews. It was finished. Spear was free, and from different parts of the courtroom people were moving toward the door. Their numbers showed that the friends of the young man had been many. Mr. Thorndike felt a certain twinge of disappointment. Even though the result relieved and pleased him, he wished, in bringing it about, he had had some part. He begrudged to Isaacs & Sons the credit of having given Spear his liberty. His morning had been wasted. He had neglected his own interests, and in no way assisted those of Spear. He was moving out of the railed enclosure when Andrews called him by name. "His honor," he said impressively, "wishes to speak to you." The judge leaned over his desk and shook Mr. Thorndike by the hand. Then he made a speech. The speech was about public-spirited citizens who, to the neglect of their own interests, came to assist the ends of justice, and fellow-creatures in misfortune. He purposely spoke in a loud voice, and every one stopped to listen. "The law, Mr. Thorndike, is not vindictive," he said. "It wishes only to be just. Nor can it be swayed by wealth or political or social influences. But when there is good in a man, I, personally, want to know it, and when gentlemen like yourself, of your standing in this city, come here to speak a good word for a man, we would stultify the purpose of justice if we did not listen. I thank you for coming, and I wish more of our citizens were as unselfish and public-spirited." It was all quite absurd and most embarrassing, but inwardly Mr. Thorndike glowed with pleasure. It was a long time since any one had had the audacity to tell him he had done well. <sep>Why did Mr. Thorndike feel a twinge of disappointment?<sep>Because he was not able to help | Yes |
