The heat index (HI) or humiture is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity, in shaded areas, to posit a human-perceived equivalent temperature, as how hot it would feel if the humidity were some other value in the shade. The result is also known as the ``felt air temperature'', ``apparent temperature'', ``real feel'' or ``feels like''. For example, when the temperature is 32 °C (90 °F) with 70% relative humidity, the heat index is 41 °C (106 °F). This heat index temperature has an implied (unstated) humidity of 20%. This is the value of relative humidity for which the heat index number equals the actual air temperature.

Embed Trump Says Clinton Could 'Shoot Somebody' and Not Be Prosecuted 1:03 autoplay autoplay Copy this code to your website or blog
PENSACOLA, FL — Donald Trump on Friday told a packed crowd that Democratic rival Hillary Clinton could "shoot somebody" and not be prosecuted, in an attack that echoed a boast the businessman once made about himself.
"She could walk into this arena right now and shoot somebody with 20,000 people watching," Trump hypothesized, miming a gun with his fingers. "Right smack in the middle of the heart, and she wouldn’t be prosecuted, okay? That’s what happened. That is what's happened to our country."
The line was reminiscent of a comment Trump made during the primaries, when he told his supporters he could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue in New York and shoot somebody and it wouldn’t cost him any votes.

Reading from a prompter but diverging, as he often does, from his prepared remarks, Trump had another violence-related comment ready for the raucous and passionately pro-Trump crowd.
"With Iran, when they circle our beautiful destroyers with their little boats and they make gestures at our people, that they shouldn’t be allowed to make, they will be shot out of the water," Trump promised. The arena filled with cheers.
Trump's promised actions against Iran would be an effective declaration of war. Minutes earlier, Trump advocated for a foreign policy that was based on three key words: "peace through strength."
Trump’s remarks reference an incident days earlier when Iranian ships harassed an American Navy Patrol Ship in the Persian Gulf and nearly cause a collision with the U.S. ship.

Throughout his remarks, Trump attacked Clinton for being "trigger happy" on foreign policy and painted her as someone looking to recklessly embroil the United States in foreign wars. Trump asserted that her policies have yielded "death" and "destruction."
The Republican nominee took it one step further, bluntly and without evidence, stating: "Personally, I think she's an unstable person." Trump has repeatedly questioned Clinton’s mental stability and health throughout the general election, in tandem with dog whistles about her "strength and stamina."

Since shaking up his campaign senior staff, Trump has been on message and with a prompter at almost all of his public appearances and rallies. As he’s grown more comfortable, however, the Republican businessman has started ad libbing more frequently.
Among those ad-libs, a revival of his antagonistic comments towards the press. “Why don’t you show the arena, fellas?” Trump said to the press lining a riser at the back of his event. “Turn those cameras.” The goading request of press to show the crowd was once an expected chorus from Trump, but has since dissipated with the use of prepared remarks. The crowd responded in kind, booing press.

But the comment — a clear jab at the Democratic candidate — is almost identical to the way he boasted about himself earlier this year.
"I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot people and I wouldn't lose voters, okay?" the pompous real estate mogul said at an Iowa rally in January. “It's, like, incredible.”
The Friday night insult isn’t the first time Trump has attacked his rival with gun rhetoric. Last month, he encouraged gun lovers to assassinate Clinton if she wins in November.

“Hillary wants to essentially abolish the Second Amendment. By the way, and if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks,” Trump said in Wilmington, N.C., before making the murderous proposal.

“Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don’t know,” he added, suggesting gun owners should get their weapons ready.

A: | Donald Trump made a pretty bold claim about Hillary Clinton during a rally Friday night in Florida, NBC News reports. "She could walk into this arena right now and shoot somebody with 20,000 people watching...and she wouldn't be prosecuted, okay?" he told the crowd. Oddly, Trump made a nearly identical claim about himself earlier this year. "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot people and I wouldn't lose voters, okay?" the New York Daily News quotes Trump as saying at a rally in Iowa last January.

Problem:(CNN) Donald Trump paints a dark picture of America, so dark the American Dream is virtually impossible to achieve. A lot of Americans believe him, but after talking to three very rich guys, I don't. Is it hard? Hell, yes. But is it impossible? Hell, no. Or, I should say it depends. The American dream has long morphed from what it once was: a house with a picket fence, two cars, 2.5 kids and a vacation every year. Today, everyone has their own American dream, although I suspect few would refuse the ultimate: money, money, money. "I had a newspaper route when I was 12," billionaire businessman, T. Boone Pickens told me. "I liked that money in my pocket." He added later, "I've been rich and I've been poor.

Such engines need to operate at a relatively high rotational speed, which is inappropriate for starting, stopping, and slower travel.

Example input: 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.
Example output: is house tax and property tax are same
Example 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.

But I'm poor, so can you help me, please?" I stared into the man's eyes full of tears and asked how I could help. After I went back, JoJo asked me, "What's wrong?" I told him about it and he was very sorry for that family. All day I thought about James's family. I even thought about making a special TV show to raise money for the sick child. On Monday morning, JoJo walked into my office. Actually, JoJo was very busy, and I never imagined he would have the time to come and see me. "Please, call the man and tell him I'll pay all the expenses for the girl's treatment," JoJo said with a cheque in his hand. "I've been married for 35 years; I wasn't lucky enough to have a child. Sometimes I feel lonely. I want to help this child." I picked up the phone to call James. Now James's daughter is well and JoJo sometimes goes to visit her. I'm so happy that there are so good people on this earth. James turned to the writer for help probably because he _ . A) guessed the writer was rich enough to help him B) wanted the writer to ask JoJo for help C) thought the writer could help him through TV D) knew the writer was warm-hearted

Instructions: You will be given a passage, and your task is to generate a Yes/No question that is answerable based on the given passage.
Input: Studies analyzing the correlation between flat feet and physical injuries in soldiers have been inconclusive, but none suggests that flat feet are an impediment, at least in soldiers who reached the age of military recruitment without prior foot problems. Instead, in this population, there is a suggestion of more injury in high arched feet. A 2005 study of Royal Australian Air Force recruits that tracked the recruits over the course of their basic training found that neither flat feet nor high arched feet had any impact on physical functioning, injury rates or foot health. If anything, there was a tendency for those with flat feet to have fewer injuries. Another study of 295 Israel Defense Forces recruits found that those with high arches suffered almost four times as many stress fractures as those with the lowest arches. A later study of 449 U.S. Navy special warfare trainees found no significant difference in the incidence of stress fractures among sailors and Marines with different arch heights.
Output: | can you serve in the army with flat feet? |

*Question*
A new study has discovered that meditation and oxygen sport together reduce depression .The Rutgers University study found that this mind and body combination, done twice a week for only two months,reduced the symptoms for a group of students by 40 percent. "We are excited by the findings because we saw such a meaningful improvement in both clinically depressed and non--depressed students,"said lead author Dr.Brandon Alderman."It is the first time that both of these two behavioral ways have been looked at together for dealing with depression." Researchers believe the two activities have an interactive effect in _ depression.Alderman and Dr.Tracey Shors discovered that a combination of mental and physical training (MAP)enabled students with major depressive disorder not to let problems or negative thoughts defeat them. Rutgers researchers say those who participated in the study began with 30 minutes of focused attention meditation followed by 30 minutes of oxygen sport.They were told that if their thoughts drifted to the past or the future they should refocus on their breathing,enabling those with depression to accept moment-to-moment changes in attention. Shors,who studies the production of new brain cells in the hippocampus--part of the brain involved in memory and learning--says scientists have shown in animal models that oxygen sport exercise keeps a large number of certain cells alive. The idea for the human intervention came from her laboratory studies,she says,with the main goal of helping individuals acquire new skills so that they can learn to recover from stressful life events. By learning to focus their attention and exercise,people who are fighting depression can acquire new learning skills that can help them process information and reduce the overwhelming recollection of memories from the past,Shors says. "We know these treatments can be practiced over a lifetime and that they will be effective in improving mental health."said Alderman."The good news is that this intervention can be practiced by... What is Shors'main purpose of her studies? A) To find out certain brain cells of humans. B) To study the production of new brain cells. C) To offer people a new method to treat stress.

*Question*
Gadgets can be wildly expensive and quickly out-of-date, but Steven Poole is still the first to buy them. Technological innovations are often quite stupid. The idea that you might want to walk down the street holding a mobile phone in front of your face, just to experience the wonders of video calling, is clearly ridiculous. Luckily for the tech companies, however, there are some people who jump at the chance to buy into new gadgets before they are fully ready and cheap enough for the mass-market. They are called early adopters, and their fate is a terrible one. I should know, since I am one myself. Early adopters have a Mecca: it's Tokyo's Akihabara district, also known as "Electric City". There, in 1999, I bought a digital camera, a gizmo that few people in Britain had heard of. Over the next few years I watched in great sadness as digital cameras became more popular, cheaper and more powerful, until better models could be had for a quarter of the price I had paid. Did I feel stupid? What I actually did was this: I splashed out more money last year for a new one, one that let me feel pleasantly ahead of the curve once again. But I know that cannot last, and I'll probably have to buy another in a few years. Thus early adopters are betting on other people eventually feeling the same desires. And it's worse if that future never arrives. Early adopters of the Betamax home-video format in the 1970s could only look on in sadness when their investment was nullified by the success of VHS. All sorts of apparently splendid inventions, such as videogame consoles like the Atari Jaguar have been abandoned to the dustbin of history right after a few early adopters bought in. Those who invested thousands in a Segway motorized scooter on the wave of ridiculous advertising campaigns that accompanied its launch a couple of years ago can join the club. You might think we should just stop being so silly, save our money, and wait to see what really catches on. But the logic of the industry is such that, if everyone did... It can be inferred from the passage that _ . A) the Segway motorized scooter (para. 3) was once quite popular B) early adopters are probably welcomed by the tech companies C) Mecca (para. 2) is a place where new digital cameras are designed D) all the early adopters are very rich and enjoying buying anything new

*Question*
When we talk about superstitious beliefs , the beliefs associated with Friday the 13th , no doubt , deserve a special mention . In fact , such is the fear associated with this date that people just can't seem to stick to their daily routine on this day . The data from Stress Management Center and Phobia Institute suggests that somewhere around 17 to 21 million Americans are affected by the fear associated with this day , i.e. the combination of Friday and 13 . Even worse , the financial losses caused on this day amounts to as much as US$800 million every year . As we flipped through the pages of history , we realized that Friday the 13th bears the brunt of bad luck associated with number 13 , the unluckiest number , and Friday , the unluckiest day of the week . Number 13 has always been considered unlucky , mainly as a result of it being associated with various occurrences in mythology . While some associate it with the instance of Norse mythology , in which the god of joy and gladness - Balter , was killed in a dishonest manner by Loki - the god of discord and mischief , who was the 13th guest , others associate it with the Last Supper , in which the 13th guest was Judas , who betrayed Jesus to his enemies for 30 pieces of silver . Similarly , Friday has also been a sign of bad luck to many people , with incidents like Jesus being crucified on this unfaithful day , contributing to this belief . It is also widely believed that Cain killed Able on this very day of the week . The fear of Friday the 13th is known as friggatriskaidekaphobia and paraskevidekatriaphobia , the former combining the words frigga , meaning Friday , and triskaidekaphobia , meaning the phobia of number 13 . Over the period , the belief that Friday the 13th is an unlucky day has just become one of the most widely accepted superstitions , which consequently causes much blind panic and unreasonable fear in the world . What will the author most probably talk about next ? A) Arguments for and against the belief of Friday the 13 th B) Reasons why Friday the 13 this widely accepted C) Stories about the bad luck brought by Friday the 13 th D) Appropriate attitude towards Friday the 13th

Q: The popstar makes claim on Howard Stern show, speaking about incident and her attacker, who she said was 20 years older than her
Lady Gaga has revealed that she was raped as a teenager and that she went through emotional therapy to recover from the event.
The singer, who was appearing on Howard Stern’s radio show, made the claim after the host asked her about the meaning of her song Swine.
After Stern suggested the song alluded to a sexual assault he then asked if she’d been raped by a record producer. The singer replied: “I went through some horrific things that I’m able to laugh [at] now, because I’ve gone through a lot of mental and physical therapy and emotional therapy to heal over the years.”
She added: “I was a shell of my former self at one point. I was not myself. To be fair, I was about 19. I went to Catholic school and then all this crazy stuff happened, and I was going, ‘Oh, is this just the way adults are?’ I was very naive.”
The singer went on to talk about how she was determined to not be defined by the incident before discussing the man who raped her, who was 20 years older than her at the time.
“Because it wasn’t until I was a little bit older that I went, ‘Wow, that was really messed up,” she said.
“You were 20 years older than me. I was a kid.” ||||| These crawls are part of an effort to archive pages as they are created and archive the pages that they refer to.

A: | Lady Gaga was raped when she was 19 by a man 20 years her senior, she told Howard Stern yesterday. "I went through some horrific things that I'm able to laugh [at] now, because I've gone through a lot of mental and physical therapy and emotional therapy to heal over the years," she said, according to the Guardian. "But ... I was a shell of my former self at one point. I was not myself. ... I was going, 'Oh, is this just the way adults are?'" She didn't give many details, but after she mentioned that her song "Swine" is about rape, Stern asked, "Were you raped by a record producer? Was that what happened to you? I feel that happened to you." He added, "It's a serious topic," then went on: "When you talk about depression and pain, and you're talking about rape, and you're talking about producers who have done things to you, and you said you barely got into a studio where you weren't in a weird, dangerous situation. I feel like you were raped by someone. I think that's what you're saying." That's when she acknowledged the "horrific" things she's gone through. She explained that she went to Catholic school and was "very naive." Added Stern, "And then you want to be a singer, and you're starry-eyed, and you're like, 'I just wanna sing, I love singing.' And some guy swooped in and took advantage of that." Replied Gaga, "Well, you know, it happens every day." (See Lady Gaga's latest "incognito" getup.) |

Input: Description
Recent excavations of Dmanisi have revealed an extraordinary record of the earliest hominid dispersal beyond Africa (1,75 million years ago). Several hominid individuals along with abundant well-preserved remains of fossil animals and stone artefacts have been found. The Dmanisi specimens are the most primitive and small-brained humans found outside of Africa to be attributed to Homo erectus sensu lato, and they are the closest to the presumed Homo habilis-like stream. It is widely recognized that Dmanisi discoveries have changed scientist's knowledge concerning the migration of homo from Africa to the European continent.
Dmanisi is located about 85 km south-west of Tbilisi buried below the ruins of the medieval town of Dmanisi, in the Mashavera River Valley, which drains the Javakheti volcanic chain to the west of the site. The site is situated on a promontory elevated about 80 m above the confluence of the Mashavera and Pinezaouri River valleys. Just prior to the occupations at Dmanisi, the Mashavera Valley was filled by 80-100 m of mafic lavas that formed the Mashavera Basalt. This basalt dammed the Pinezaouri Valley, forming a lake ca. 1 km long immediately south of the site.
The hominid and artefact-bearing deposits (up to 3 m thick) directly cover the original surface of basalt layer (Mashavera basalt) and are magnetically normal, dated ca. 1.8±0.01 Ma and correlated with Olduvai subchron. No evidence of erosion and minimal weathering of its surface suggest that the basalt was quickly buried by volcanic ash and fossiliferous sediments.
Presently two main stratigraphic units are distinguished in the exposed sections:
Stratum A, bearing vast majority of the faunal materials and all hominid remains - consisting of pyroclastic silt and fine sand with weak pedogenic structure and pedogenic carbonates in the upper part.
Stratum B, with highest densities of stone artefacts but poorer with fossils - consisting of weathered volcanic silts and sands, with dark grey ash in the middle of the unit and prominent basal grey ash.
These two layers are separated by calcareous horizon that has halted further diagenetic damage and compaction in stratum A thus allowing remarkable fossil preservation. The structure and thickness of calcareous horizon is variable in different locations and is posing questions concerning sedimentation process that need to be clarified.
Central geographic location, dramatic biodiversity, and the extremely dynamic geologic evolution of the Caucasus region on the Neogene-Quaternary boundary, permits to generate not only new geologic information, but also new protocols for expanding stratigraphic studies and archaeological site surveys by teams working in the important adjacent regions of the Levant, south-eastern Europe, and south-central Asia.
Dmanisi archaeological material is well dated by science-based methods to about 1.75 million years ago. The Lower Palaeolithic site has the fascinating and unusual context of being located underneath the medieval ruins of an ancient town and fortress frequently visited by tourists. In fact, the Palaeolithic excavations have all been conducted from within the walls of ancient structures. From point of view of the early palaeontology, the site has been known since 1983 when fossilized bones of extinct animals were found by medieval archaeologists in the walls of household pits of the Dmanisi medieval town. Immediately, it was clear that we were dealing with late-middle Villafranchian fauna, of approximately 1.8-1.7 million years in age. Then in 1984, with the discovery of primitive stone tools, a new page started not only in the history of the site excavations, but of one of the major events in human evolution: the peopling of the northern latitudes and eventually the entire globe. Dmanisi is the key to deciphering Homo's origins and for tracing the earliest Pleistocene hominid migrations. Dmanisi have an iconic position in the discovery and demonstration of human evolution.
Recent excavations of Dmanisi have revealed an extraordinary record of the earliest hominid dispersal beyond Africa. Several hominid individuals (4 skulls, 3 of them with maxillas, 4 mandibles, 16 isolated teeth and 24 post-cranial elements), along with abundant well-preserved remains of fossil animals and stone artefacts have been found. In 2003-04 field season another new hominid mandible, with fascinating pathologies having implications for the evolution of human disease and also social behaviour has been discovered. It was also found a new tibia and talus (ankle) bone, which will allow accurate estimations of body size, body proportions and locomotory behaviour. This is the richest and most complete collection of indisputable early Homo remains outside of Africa with good stratigraphic context, now well dated to about 1.75 million years ago. At Dmanisi, there is also clear potential to define and compare records of serial occupations in single locality.
Dmanisi discoveries are most ancient in whole Eurasia and are dated to 1.75 million years ago. There is the great potential for further finds as well. ||||| At an eroded basin in Hebei province researchers have discovered what could be a “playground” of early hominids nearly two million years ago.
Examination of stone artefacts between 1.77 and 1.95 million years old suggested that they could be toys played with by children.
“This is an amazing discovery,” said professor Wei Qi, paleoanthropologist with the Chinese Academy of Sciences and lead scientist of the project at the Heitugou site in Nihewan basin, Yangyuan county.
“The site is a treasure chamber that may hold some useful clues to answer a lot of important questions, from the social structure of the early hominids to whether, when and how they arrived in Asia all the way from Africa.”
The “playground” was not big, but seemingly bustling with activity.
In an area less than six square meters, scientists found more than 700 stone artefacts with nearly 20,000 fragmented pieces.
Wei, now retired and spending most of his time at the site, believed that these stone pieces were made by the hands of children and women.
More than 80 per cent of them were small, ranging 20 – 50mm in length, with most carrying no sign of wear by use at all.
One artifact, tagged HTG268, caught Wei’s special attention. In his opinion it could be a toy or gift made by a mother for her child.
“You can almost feel the maker’s love and passion, which was deeply embedded in this piece,” he said.
“It was so finely made and beautifully shaped, its quality could rival the stone artefacts of much more recent periods.”
There is other evidence suggesting the site was a playground instead of a living or working area.
Researchers failed to find large amount of animal remains that are common in a habitat, and the near absence of large size stone tools could be a sign that few adult workers were involved in these activities.
A big challenge was to determine the age of these stone artefacts, Wei said.
Though the site was discovered as early as 2002, it was not until recently that the scientists were able to date it with any certainty.
Using a geochronological tool called magnetostratigraphy, which analyzed the direction change of the ancient Earth’s magnetic field that was recorded in the site’s sediment, the scientists found the Heitugou site to be older than the famous Dmanisi site in Georgia, which was regarded the earliest known hominid site outside of Africa.
Wei said they would report details of their findings in a research paper, which had been submitted to a top archaeological journal in China.
The excavation was carried out with utmost care, he said. Each artifact had been documented and photographed in the sediment before retrieved.
Wei said researchers were surprised by the “freshness” of the artefacts.
The concentrated distribution and little wear showed that they were buried by a sudden event, likely a landslide, which protected them from later exposure to winds and precipitation.
Before the catastrophic event, the playground was likely a small paradise.
Nihewan basin, now a rugged landscape with deep gorges, used to be an enormous lake which provided an ideal habitat for early hominids. In the past century, researchers have discovered numerous early hominid sites in the area.
Children and their mothers could feel safe enough to sit by the lake making large amounts of stone toys. The scant animal fossils discovered at the Heihegou site were all herbivores such as elephants and rhinoceros.
But Wei’s discovery at the Heitugou site was not without controversy.
Gao Xing, researcher with the CAS Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology, said the biggest concern was whether the stone pieces were all made by hand.
“It is difficult to rule out the possibility that they were just stone fragments created by natural forces. They were too old, too preliminary. To determine whether they were hand-made artefacts may go beyond the limit of science today,” said Gao, who had visited the site.
“Future studies would be much needed. The Heitugou site has potential for significant discoveries, though it imposes some enormous challenges to paleoanthropologists.”
Wei said he was sure that the stone pieces were hand made. If they are not, most stone pieces in museums today would be a subject of doubt, he said.
But he admitted that the discovery brought up some difficult questions.
It is commonly believed that the first hominid ventured out of Africa about 1.8 million years ago, via a route from Europe to Asia, but if there were hominids in China at the same time, the date or route of the expansion should be reconsidered.
“The Heitugou site does not challenge the 'Out of Africa' theory, it’s not old enough,” Wei said.
“But the timing is very interesting and it could open a door to new discussions about hominin origins.” ||||| Researchers excavating an eroded basin in Hebei province, China, claim to have made a remarkable discovery - a two-million-year-old ‘playground’ of ancient hominids complete with stone artifacts carved by women and children, and some that even appear to be toys.
The discovery was made at the Heigugou site in the Nihewan basin, the site of some of the earliest Paleolithic remains in East Asia. The basin used to be an enormous lake, which provided an ideal habitat for early hominids.
Nihewan was first discovered in 1921 and has already produced significant archaeological findings including a dining area where hunters ate their kills, ancient animal fossils and stone tools dating back an incredible 2 million years. The well-preserved nature of the tools suggests they were buried by a sudden event, like a landslide, preventing further damage by wind and water erosion.

South China Morning Post reports that archaeologists found more than 700 stone artifacts and 20,000 fragmented pieces dating to between 1.77 and 1.95 million years old in an area less than six square meters. An examination of the artifacts suggests that they were too small to have been made by males. More than 80 per cent of them ranged from 20 – 50 mm in length, which researchers believe points to the fact that they were carved by women and children. One artifact in particular seems to be a toy made by a mother for her child.

Discoveries made at Nihewan have challenged the perspective that Africa was the sole origin of mankind. It is commonly believed that the first hominids migrated out of Africa about 1.8 million years ago, but if there were hominids in China at the same time or earlier, it suggests that either they left Africa earlier, or hominids independently evolved in China at the same time.
“The timing is very interesting,” said Wei. “It could open a door to new discussions about hominin origins.”

Output: | An investigation into what appears to be a nearly 2 million-year-old site in China's Hebei province suggests the spot served an important purpose: fun. The South China Morning Post compares the dig site to a "playground" for ancient hominids, noting that it was home to some 700 stone objects and 20,000 fragments; some may well have been kids' toys, believes lead researcher Wei Qi. He speculates that the objects, most less than two inches long, were made by children and their mothers. "You can almost feel the maker’s love and passion," says Wei of one piece he describes as "beautifully shaped." The other bits of evidence supporting his playground theory: The remains of animals or large tools in the area are scarce, suggesting it's not where hominids lived and a limited number of adults toiled there. The site is part of the Nihewan basin, which has been the source of a vast trove of ancient discoveries since 1921, Ancient Origins reports. What's also relatively new is the dating of the site, carried out by studying its magnetic properties. Results suggesting it dates to between 1.77 million and 1.95 million years ago could make it older than the Dmanisi site in Georgia, which UNESCO calls the "most ancient" in Eurasia. But outside researchers have their doubts about the playground theory: "It is difficult to rule out the possibility that (the objects) were just stone fragments created by natural forces," says one. If the discoveries really were made by hominids more than 1.8 million years ago—when the first hominid is though to have left Africa—it could change the story of human origins, the Week notes. (A recently discovered jawbone is also challenging such conceptions.) |

Q: 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>At what point was there communication established with American 11 and was said?<sep>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

Now, solve this: The nerves began to show, but Wales now know their task. Beat Israel in Cardiff on Sunday and start booking the tickets to France. It is simple.

Problem:Sept. 2, 2014 Singer Chris Brown, center, is seen leaving D.C. Superior Court after his hearing in Washington. Mark Gail/for The Washington Post
District prosecutors on Monday lowered an assault charge against Grammy award winning R&B singer Chris Brown, who is accused of striking a man during a fight outside a posh Washington hotel, from a felony to a misdemeanor, according to court records. Brown told police he did not punch the man, according to court papers.
The 24-year-old entertainer appeared in D.C. Superior Court along with his friend and bodyguard, Christopher Hollosy, 35, who also was charged with misdemeanor assault in what police described as an altercation outside the W Hotel in the 500 block of 15th Street NW.
Brown and Hollosy were charged by D.C. police with hitting a man at about 4:30 a.m. under disputed circumstances following a party at the Park at 14th, one of several nightclub events drawing crowds during Howard University’s homecoming weekend. The parties were not affiliated with the school.
Danny Onorato, a former federal prosecutor and Brown’s attorney said after the court hearing that he is “confident Mr. Brown will be exonerated.”
“Chris Brown committed no crime,” Onorato said. “We understand his security acted to protect Mr. Brown and his property, which he was authorized to do.”
Singer Chris Brown is charged with assaulting a man outside the W Hotel in Washington, D.C. His charges were reduced from a felony to a misdemeanor in D.C. Court on Monday. (The Washington Post)
Both Brown and Hollosy were released from custody on Monday evening. The maximum penalty on the reduced charge is 180 days in jail and a $1,000 fine. Brown is set to return to court Nov. 25.
Accounts of how the altercation started have varied. A D.C. police report says it involved dispute over photographs being taken outside the club. Others have stated the victim tried to board Brown’s tour bus. Court documents filed Monday evening suggest it was a little of both.
According to those documents, Brown had agreed to pose for pictures with two women outside the W Hotel. They stood on either side of Brown so his bodyguard could snap pictures with the womens’ cell phones. The documents say that one of the women told police that the alleged victim then “moved in and attempted to take a picture of himself” with Brown. The woman said Brown replied, “I’m not with that gay s---.”
Court papers say the man, who admitted to police he tried to get into the picture and take his own, later told authorities that he responded to Brown, “Then why you ho-ing?” and “What you say,?” Brown replied, according to the papers. The victim then repeated, “Why you ho-ing?”
The man and one of the women who was posing for the picture told police that Brown said, “I feel like boxing” before unloading a punch, according to court papers. The document says the woman then told police she saw Brown’s bodyguard also hit the man, and that Brown then boarded the bus.
Brown denied to police that he confronted or hit the man, saying, “I was on the bus when I guess someone tried to get on and my bodyguard handled it,” court papers say.
Another witness told police that she saw Brown chase the man — who police said suffered a broken nose — and take a swing at him, but couldn’t see if he connected, according to court papers. An acquaintance of Brown told police that a D.C. police officer told him that the man had said Brown never hit him, the court documents say. But that officer denied being told that.
The man could not be reached for comment Monday.
In the midst of #chrisbrown in Superior Court, head of Homeland Security, on JuryDuty — Keith L. Alexander (@keithlalexander) October 28, 2013 Chris Brown fans outside courthouse waiting to catch a glimpse! pic.twitter.com/mO7y8SJeoS — bruce johnson (@brucejohnson9) October 28, 2013
Brown spent the night in the D.C. police lockup in the 2nd District station, and was then moved to the Superior Courthouse, where he was listed as No. 71 on the lockup list, another defendant on Monday’s normally crowded criminal docket.
Crowds of media and onlookers gathered for the hearing. Arraignment hearings typically start at 1 p.m. and can run for hours. Visitors began lining up in front of Courtroom C-10 before 12:30 p.m. Onlookers took pictures of the lockup list posted on the wall outside the courtroom, showing his lockup number, the charge and his attorney’s name.
Brown’s mother and brother were stuck in line at one point; they were then escorted into a room.
Jasmine Woods, 22, of Northeast Washington and two of her female friends arrived at courthouse holding up posters that say “Free Chris Brown” in large red letters. “He was just protecting himself. He’s too cute to be in DC Jail.”
By 12:50 p.m., the 150-or-so-seat courtroom was filled to capacity, and security was telling visitors to wait outside in the hallway. People who were there to support their local friends and family who were also locked up were outraged. “So, we have to wait out here because of Chris Brown?” shouted Veronica Person, who said her sister was arrested on an assault charge over the weekend.
“Damn, this like going to his concert. You gotta have a ticket?” asked David Gross, 34, of Prince George’s County. He said he was trying to get into the courtroom for his brother, who was also arrested over the weekend. Gross was one of about 75 people waiting in line. “I ain’t thinking about Chris Brown. He ain’t bringing no money to any of our houses.”
Brown and Hollosy were escorted into the courtroom in the evening, about five hours after the docket had begun. Both were shackled by their ankles and wrists. Brown’s ashen blond hair and wearing a white shirt and black jeans. The two men were among about 100 other defendants, charged with various crimes from murder, to drug possession to solicitation, who were escorted before D.C. Superior Court Magistrate Judge Karen Howze on Monday.
At around 6 p.m., the case was called. A courtroom employee asked Brown to say his name. “Christopher Brown.”
When Howze ordered both men released, two women in the crowded courtroom broke out into a thunderous applause. Courtroom security quickly escorted them out of the courtroom. Howze also required Brown to report to his probation officer in person in California within 48 hours.
Sitting in the last row of the courtroom was Brown’s family including his mother, along with Brown’s friend, fellow R&B singer, Trey Songz. Songz was in Washington this weekend to perform at a Howard Homecoming concert Saturday evening.
After the hearing, Brown, his family and Brown’s attorney and Hollosy with his attorney Bernie Grimm, were escorted out of the courthouse by security, marshals and D.C. police in a waiting dark-tinted SUV.
Hundreds of people gathered outside the courthouse screaming “We love you Chris.”
Brown is on probation after pleading guilty in 2009 to attacking his then-girlfriend Rihanna the night before the Grammy Awards. He was sentenced to community service and five years of probation. Since then he has had several run-ins with law-enforcement officials.
As part of his conditions for release set on Monday in the District, Brown must report to a probation officer in California within 48 hours.
In June 2012, New York police investigated a bottle-throwing bar brawl involving the entourages of Brown and hip-hop star Drake.
In February, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department closed its investigation of an alleged parking space dispute between Brown and R&B star Frank Ocean.
There is also controversy over Brown’s court-ordered community service in the 2009 conviction involving Rihanna. Los Angeles prosecutors have said in court filings reported by the Associated Press that they could find no evidence that Brown completed his hours. ||||| Chris Brown Charge REDUCED To Misdemeanor Assault

The victim says Chris then threw the punch and the victim says he then squared off with Chris and then the bodyguard also hit the victim in the face.According to the victim, after the bodyguard punched him, Chris got BEHIND the bodyguard and screamed, "Yeah, walk away."The police say the victim was treated for a fractured nasal bone. ||||| Chris Brown has form when it comes to using homophobic slurs — as the readers of RadarOnline.com know all too well.
The R&B singer is a serial offender, having logged a raft of incidents before his arrest in the early hours of Sunday morning when he was charged with felony assault, along with his bodyguard.
Brown and Christopher Hollosy allegedly attacked a man with their fists outside the W Hotel in downtown Washington at 4:25 a.m. Sunday, police have said.

The alleged vicim, Isaac Adams Parker, 20, of Beltsville, Maryland, told cops the singer said, “I’m not down with that gay s–t,” when he tried to jump into a photo that Brown was posing for with a female fan on the sidewalk.
Parker said that Brown then punched him in the face with his closed fist, according to the police report.
While the 24-year-old Grammy Award-winner has denied he is a homophobe, Parker’s claims are consistent with a number of other individuals who say they too have suffered the same fate… at the mouth of Brown.

Last year, a man claimed he was verbally attacked by Brown and called a “f***ot” at the Arclight movie theater in Hollywood.
Los Angeles resident Lucas Peter, an openly gay man, told RadarOnline.com he spotted Brown and his entourage and approached him to ask for an autograph — but was taken off guard by the singer’s reaction.
“The movie let out and I saw Chris come out the front door, sort of semi-running. I approached Chris and asked him to sign my CD cover,” Lucas said.
“His bodyguard stopped me and said Chris wouldn’t be signing, so I told him Rihanna signs all the time. That’s when Chris stopped in the garage by the parking pay stand and yelled ‘f***ot’ at me.”

Brown was also at the center of controversy when quizzed by paparazzi for his opinion of gay artist Frank Ocean as he was leaving a nightclub in France.
Brown replied, “Man, no homo,” which many interpreted to have been a homophobic swipe. At the time of that spat, Brown insisted it wasn’t.
When he and Ocean clashed physically at a Los Angeles studio last January, Ocean alleged had been called “a f*ggot.”
That led former *NSYNC star Lance Bass — a gay man — to say the use of the word “f*ggot” is no better than the “n” word.
In 2011, Brown also shouted anti-gay slurs during a pickup basketball game, stunning and repulsing onlookers.

“He got really ticked off when things didn’t go his way during the game, saying, ‘That’s gay!’ and ‘You’re a f*gg*t a**!’ to the other players,” an eyewitness said. Brown, at the time, denied he ever said it.
A year earlier, he and former B2K member De’Mario Thornton, used their Twitter accounts to engage in slurs and taunts against one another.
The arrest could trigger a series of serious consequences for the star, who remains on probation for the 2009 beating of his on-again, off-again girlfriend Rihanna just before the Grammy Awards.
His probation has already previously been revoked, albeit briefly, after a hit-and-run incident.
He is due back in court Nov. 20 in Los Angeles to update a judge on his progress.
Brown’s representative did not immediately respond to RadarOnline.com’s request for comment Sunday. |||||
Solution: | Chris Brown caught a break today when charges in his latest fist-to-face incident were reduced from felony to misdemeanor assault, the Washington Post reports. A crowd gathered outside his arraignment hearing in Washington, DC, where he pleaded not guilty, was released without bail, and told to stay 100 yards away from the victim, reports TMZ. The judge also cancelled a drug test that TMZ describes as "standard in such cases." Reason for the reduced charge: The victim apparently suffered minor injuries, even though he had said his nose was broken. The incident occurred yesterday outside a posh Washington hotel where, authorities say, the victim photobombed Brown as he posed for a picture with two women. But Brown's sources say the singer was stopping the man from jumping on his tour bus. Classy aside: Brown allegedly said "I'm not down with that gay s--t" before the assault, which would add to his list of homophobic slurs—even though the Grammy winner says he is not homophobic, Radar reports. |

In this task, you are given a question and a context passage. You have to answer the question based on the given passage.
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.
Example solution: Russian Revolution
Example explanation: This is a good example, and the Russian Revolution is the first event mentioned.
Problem: While the intention of boycotts may be to limit child labor, what do some fear would be the potential outcome?, Context: Concerns have often been raised over the buying public's moral complicity in purchasing products assembled or otherwise manufactured in developing countries with child labour. However, others have raised concerns that boycotting products manufactured through child labour may force these children to turn to more dangerous or strenuous professions, such as prostitution or agriculture. For example, a UNICEF study found that after the Child Labour Deterrence Act was introduced in the US, an estimated 50,000 children were dismissed from their garment industry jobs in Bangladesh, leaving many to resort to jobs such as "stone-crushing, street hustling, and prostitution", jobs that are "more hazardous and exploitative than garment production". The study suggests that boycotts are "blunt instruments with long-term consequences, that can actually harm rather than help the children involved."
| Solution: force these children to turn to more dangerous or strenuous professions |

Input: Phil Robertson, the patriarch of A&E's Duck Dynasty clan who was suspended from his hit reality series on Dec. 18 following some incendiary comments about gay people, won't be put on hiatus after all.
The network and the Robertson family announced Friday that Phil will still be part of the series -- and since he didn't miss any filming, his temporary suspension will have no effect on the upcoming fifth season.
An A&E statement to The Hollywood Reporter read:
As a global media content company, A+E Networks' core values are centered around creativity, inclusion and mutual respect. We believe it is a privilege for our brands to be invited into people's homes, and we operate with a strong sense of integrity and deep commitment to these principles.
That is why we reacted so quickly and strongly to a recent interview with Phil Robertson. While Phil's comments made in the interview reflect his personal views based on his own beliefs and his own personal journey, he and his family have publicly stated they regret the "coarse language" he used and the misinterpretation of his core beliefs based only on the article. He also made it clear he would "never incite or encourage hate." We at A+E Networks expressed our disappointment with his statements in the article and reiterate that they are not views we hold.
But Duck Dynasty is not a show about one man's views. It resonates with a large audience because it is a show about family … a family that America has come to love. As you might have seen in many episodes, they come together to reflect and pray for unity, tolerance and forgiveness. These are three values that we at A+E Networks also feel strongly about.
So after discussions with the Robertson family, as well as consulting with numerous advocacy groups, A&E has decided to resume filming Duck Dynasty later this spring with the entire Robertson family.
We will also use this moment to launch a national public service campaign (PSA) promoting unity, tolerance and acceptance among all people, a message that supports our core values as a company and the values found in Duck Dynasty. These PSAs will air across our entire portfolio.
In addition, an A&E source says the family and the network are going to work together to promote tolerance.
Robertson's comments in GQ magazine, which included the 67-year-old likening homosexuality to "bestiality," prompted an almost immediate announcement from A&E.

"We are extremely disappointed to have read Phil Robertson's comments in GQ, which are based on his own personal beliefs and are not reflected in the series Duck Dynasty," read a network statement at the time. "His personal views in no way reflect those of A+E Networks, who have always been strong supporters and champions of the LGBT community. The network has placed Phil under hiatus from filming indefinitely."
A&E's swift reaction to the comments, praised by some, prompted objections from many fans of the show. Prior to his reinstatement, a petition started by Christian fans gathered north of 200,000 signatures demanding he be put back on the series. The organizers of the petition, IStandWithPhil.com, praised his reinstatement, though questioned if their voices had been heard.
“Despite our celebration, we remain uncertain of A&E's true intent. Today, in the network’s statement of their core values – centered on ‘creativity, inclusion, and mutual respect’ - Faith Driven Consumers are left wondering whether A&E considers us to be a part of America's rich rainbow of diversity," said a satement from Chris Stone, founder of Faith Driven Consumer. “Do they also now embrace the biblically based values and worldview held by the Robertson family and millions of Faith Driven Consumers?"
GLAAD issued its own reaction to Robertson's reinstatement: "Phil Robertson should look African American and gay people in the eyes and hear about the hurtful impact of praising Jim Crow laws and comparing gay people to terrorists. If dialogue with Phil is not part of next steps then A+E has chosen profits over African American and gay people – especially its employees and viewers."
Robertson and the rest of his family have stood by the controversial comments that prompted the media furor, putting the future of A&E's top-rated series in question.
On Sunday, Robertson delivered a sermon at his West Monroe, La., church. "I will not give or back off from my path," he told the crowd -- though he did seem to soften a bit, adding, "I love all men and women. I am a lover of humanity, not a hater."
The political fallout has also been significant. Following initial calls to action from GLAAD, people from both sides of the political spectrum have weighed in on Robertson's comments and suspension. It's been a popular topic of debate on Fox News, and Louisiana's Gov. Bobby Jindal was among the first to come to Robertson's defense.

The Robertsons' somewhat vague initial reaction to Phil's removal -- "We cannot imagine the show going forward without our patriarch at the helm" -- prompted many to suggest that the cast would not continue filming. But the Robertsons also recently re-signed to stay on board A&E's top-rated series. After settling a months-long salary standoff in August, A&E signed the entire Robertson clan to a multiyear deal worth more than $200,000 per episode.
For its part, A&E did little else in the wake of Robertson's comments beyond the initial suspension. Encores of the series have continued to air, including a marathon on Christmas Day. Canceling or delaying the Jan. 15 season-five premiere never seemed to be on the table.
Duck Dynasty is a huge asset for A&E. In addition to being the top-rated reality program on cable, second across all of cable to only The Walking Dead with an average 13.4 million viewers and 7.6 million adults 18-49 in live-plus-7 ratings, Duck Dynasty has multiple brand tie-ins. Duck Dynasty gear is available in retailers across the U.S., including Walmart, Sears and Cracker Barrel restaurants.
The entire Robertson family has been on hiatus for duck hunting season, a contractual stipulation, which continues through Jan. 26 in their native Louisiana. ||||| UPDATED: Facing a firestorm of criticism that has shown little signs of subsiding, A&E parent company A+E Networks just issued a statement (read it below) announcing that the flagship A&E reality series Duck Dynasty will resume filming in the spring with the entire Robertson family — including patriarch Phil Robertson. The company put him on an “indefinite hiatus” on December 18 following the controversial comments he made in an interview to GQ. Duck Dynasty had been on a scheduled hiatus when the bombshell comments were made public. It had been slated to resume production in the spring, so today’s decision, which A+E said was made “after discussions with the Robertson family, as well as consulting with numerous advocacy groups,” reverts to the show’s original filming schedule. The groups whose cooperation A+E sought are said to include GLAAD, which blasted Robertson’s initial anti-gay comments, and NAACP.

Duck Dynasty has nine of the 10 episodes for the upcoming fifth season with Phil in the can. It will film the final 10th episode before proceeding with production on the following cycle. In its statement today, A+E referred to the December 19 statement by the Robertson family in which they admitted that “some of Phil’s unfiltered comments to the reporter were coarse, his beliefs are grounded in the teachings of the Bible” but stressed that “Phil would never incite or encourage hate.” In the same statement, the family stood firmly behind their patriarch, indicating they would rather walk away from the show then film without Phil.

The stakes in the stand-off were high, with both A&E and the Robertsons poised to lose tens and possibly hundreds of millions of dollars, though the family had already amassed a fortune, emboldening them to make a stand. Since the controversy erupted, Phil Robertson has been defiant, reiterating his stance on gay relationships at a Bible study group. He has drawn massive support from conservatives, both politicians and regular folk, with a petition asking for his reinstatement amassing more than 250,000 signatures as of this morning. Cracker Barrel’s attempt to pull some items carrying the Phil Robertson brand Duck Commander created such strong backlash that the stores quickly restocked the items. The controversy pitted religious believes vs. tolerance and equality. It exposed the deep divisions in the country, and A+E said it wants to come out of it “promoting unity, tolerance and acceptance among all people” with a campaign across all of its networks that the company hopes the Robertsons will be part of. The brouhaha further raised awareness for Duck Dynasty, already a monster hit, some two weeks before its fifth-season premiere, which would likely shatter more ratings records. Here’s A+E’s statement:
As a global media content company, A+E Networks’ core values are centered around creativity, inclusion and mutual respect. We believe it is a privilege for our brands to be invited into people’s home and we operate with a strong sense of integrity and deep commitment to these principals. That is why we reacted so quickly and strongly to a recent interview with Phil Robertson.

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.
Ex Input:
Battleship -- The value of the battleship has been questioned, even during their heyday. There were few of the decisive fleet battles that battleship proponents expected, and used to justify the vast resources spent on building battlefleets. Even in spite of their huge firepower and protection, battleships were increasingly vulnerable to much smaller and relatively inexpensive weapons: initially the torpedo and the naval mine, and later aircraft and the guided missile. The growing range of naval engagements led to the aircraft carrier replacing the battleship as the leading capital ship during World War II, with the last battleship to be launched being HMS Vanguard in 1944. Four battleships were retained by the United States Navy until the end of the Cold War for fire support purposes and were last used in combat during the Gulf War in 1991. The last battleships were stricken from the U.S. Naval Vessel Register in the 2000s. Today, with the exception of Russian Kirov-class battlecruiser, aircraft carriers are the only types of capital ships in service.
Ex Output:
does the us navy have any active battleships

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: Who is a famous non-military Alsatian of the period?, Context: The year 1789 brought the French Revolution and with it the first division of Alsace into the départements of Haut- and Bas-Rhin. Alsatians played an active role in the French Revolution. On 21 July 1789, after receiving news of the Storming of the Bastille in Paris, a crowd of people stormed the Strasbourg city hall, forcing the city administrators to flee and putting symbolically an end to the feudal system in Alsace. In 1792, Rouget de Lisle composed in Strasbourg the Revolutionary marching song "La Marseillaise" (as Marching song for the Army of the Rhine), which later became the anthem of France. "La Marseillaise" was played for the first time in April of that year in front of the mayor of Strasbourg Philippe-Frédéric de Dietrich. Some of the most famous generals of the French Revolution also came from Alsace, notably Kellermann, the victor of Valmy, Kléber, who led the armies of the French Republic in Vendée and Westermann, who also fought in the Vendée.

Input: Your Reaction?
Sorry, but you can only react up to 3 times!
Oops! It looks like you've already used that reaction on this post. ||||| I guess just add this to ever-growing list of repellent things Sen. David Vitter has done while in elected office. While appearing on a conservative radio show out of New Orleans yesterday, Vitter had a good laugh with the hosts over an old picture of Rachel Maddow “looking like a woman.”
“Must have been a long time ago,” cracked Vitter. Cue uproarious laughter. Funny stuff, though perhaps not all that surprising considering Vitter’s history with “women’s issues.” Vitter, meanwhile, later issued a (very short) apology to Maddow.
Dear Rachel, Regarding my remark during a radio conversation today, I apologize. The hosts made their comment and I obviously chimed in. While we do not usually agree on the issues, I do not think you deserved that comment. Sincerely, David
You can listen to the exchange below.
Have a tip we should know? [email protected] |||||
Output: | David Vitter has apologized to Rachel Maddow for a joke that fell closer to the plane of high school sophomore than US senator. During an appearance on a conservative radio show, the hosts mentioned Maddow's high school yearbook photo (see it here on BuzzFeed), in which she has long blond hair. When one said she was "looking like a woman," Vitter said, "Must have been a long time ago," notes Greg Sargent in his Washington Post blog. Hilarity ensued. (Listen to the audio in the gallery, from Mediaite.) Afterward, Vitter issued this statement to Maddow: "Regarding my remark during a radio conversation today, I apologize. The hosts made their comment and I obviously chimed in. While we do not usually agree on the issues, I do not think you deserved that comment." |
Q: In this task, you are given a question and a context passage. You have to answer the question based on the given passage.
What was the post of Litvinov ?, Context: Regarding the timing of German rapprochement, many historians agree that the dismissal of Maxim Litvinov, whose Jewish ethnicity was viewed unfavorably by Nazi Germany, removed an obstacle to negotiations with Germany. Stalin immediately directed Molotov to "purge the ministry of Jews." Given Litvinov's prior attempts to create an anti-fascist coalition, association with the doctrine of collective security with France and Britain, and pro-Western orientation by the standards of the Kremlin, his dismissal indicated the existence of a Soviet option of rapprochement with Germany.[f] Likewise, Molotov's appointment served as a signal to Germany that the USSR was open to offers. The dismissal also signaled to France and Britain the existence of a potential negotiation option with Germany. One British official wrote that Litvinov's disappearance also meant the loss of an admirable technician or shock-absorber, while Molotov's "modus operandi" was "more truly Bolshevik than diplomatic or cosmopolitan." Carr argued that the Soviet Union's replacement of Foreign Minister Litvinov with Molotov on May 3, 1939 indicated not an irrevocable shift towards alignment with Germany, but rather was Stalin's way of engaging in hard bargaining with the British and the French by appointing a proverbial hard man, namely Molotov, to the Foreign Commissariat. Historian Albert Resis stated that the Litvinov dismissal gave the Soviets freedom to pursue faster-paced German negotiations, but that they did not abandon British–French talks. Derek Watson argued that Molotov could get the best deal with Britain and France because he was not encumbered with the baggage of collective security and could negotiate with Germany. Geoffrey Roberts argued that Litvinov's dismissal helped the Soviets with British–French talks, because Litvinov doubted or maybe even opposed such discussions.

Why is Philadelphia a tourist attraction?, Context: The area's many universities and colleges make Philadelphia a top international study destination, as the city has evolved into an educational and economic hub. With a gross domestic product of $388 billion, Philadelphia ranks ninth among world cities and fourth in the nation. Philadelphia is the center of economic activity in Pennsylvania and is home to seven Fortune 1000 companies. The Philadelphia skyline is growing, with several nationally prominent skyscrapers. The city is known for its arts, culture, and history, attracting over 39 million domestic tourists in 2013. Philadelphia has more outdoor sculptures and murals than any other American city, and Fairmount Park is the largest landscaped urban park in the world. The 67 National Historic Landmarks in the city helped account for the $10 billion generated by tourism. Philadelphia is the birthplace of the United States Marine Corps, and is also the home of many U.S. firsts, including the first library (1731), first hospital (1751) and medical school (1765), first Capitol (1777), first stock exchange (1790), first zoo (1874), and first business school (1881). Philadelphia is the only World Heritage City in the United States.

Input: Although Bin Laden, Atef, and KSM initially contemplated using established al Qaeda members to execute the planes operation, the late 1999 arrival in Kandahar of four aspiring jihadists from Germany suddenly presented a more attractive alternative. The Hamburg group shared the anti-U.S. fervor of the other candidates for the operation, but added the enormous advantages of fluency in English and familiarity with life in the West, based on years that each member of the group had spent living in Germany. Not surprisingly, Mohamed Atta, Ramzi Binalshibh, Marwan al Shehhi, and Ziad Jarrah would all become key players in the 9/11 conspiracy. Mohamed Atta was born on September 1, 1968, in Kafr el Sheikh, Egypt, to a middle-class family headed by his father, an attorney. After graduating from Cairo University with a degree in architectural engineering in 1990, Atta worked as an urban planner in Cairo for a couple of years. In the fall of 1991, he asked a German family he had met in Cairo to help him continue his education in Germany. They suggested he come to Hamburg and invited him to live with them there, at least initially. After completing a course in German, Atta traveled to Germany for the first time in July 1992. He resided briefly in Stuttgart and then, in the fall of 1992, moved to Hamburg to live with his host family. After enrolling at the University of Hamburg, he promptly transferred into the city engineering and planning course at the Technical University of Hamburg-Harburg, where he would remain registered as a student until the fall of 1999. He appears to have applied himself fairly seriously to his studies (at least in comparison to his jihadist friends) and actually received his degree shortly before traveling to Afghanistan. In school, Atta came across as very intelligent and reasonably pleasant, with an excellent command of the German language. When Atta arrived in Germany, he appeared religious, but not fanatically so. This would change, especially as his tendency to assert leadership became increasingly pronounced. According to Binalshibh, as early as 1995 Atta sought to organize a Muslim student association in Hamburg. In the fall of 1997, he joined a working group at the Quds mosque in Hamburg, a group designed to bridge the gap between Muslims and Christians. Atta proved a poor bridge, however, because of his abrasive and increasingly dogmatic personality. But among those who shared his beliefs, Atta stood out as a decisionmaker. <sep>Where did Mohamed Atta reside while in Germany?<sep>Berlin

Input: People who experience a cardiac arrest on the third floor or above of a high-rise building have lower survival rates; above the 16th floor, their chances of survival are "negligible," according to research published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal.
The ambulance may arrive on time, but elevator delays pose new dangers. The ambulance may arrive on time, but elevator delays pose new dangers.
As the high-rise population grows, the number of emergency calls to such dwellings is increasing, presenting 911 responders with unique challenges.
Building access issues, elevator delays and extended distance from the responding vehicle to the patient can all cause delays in the initiation of resuscitation.
In Toronto, Canada, high-rise residences are now home to 40% of over-65s, a population at high risk for a number of serious medical conditions, including cardiac arrest.
In North America, more than 400,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur annually. Despite efforts to improve resuscitation care, survival to hospital discharge in most communities remains below 10%.
Rapid defibrillation and high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) are essential for survival. For each 1-minute delay to defibrillation, the chance of survival drops by 7-10%.
The higher the floor, the lower the chance of survival
Previous studies have measured response time between the call to 911 and arrival of an emergency vehicle on scene, but not the time required to make patient contact once there. This can take more than 4 minutes, or up to 28% of the total time from the 911 call to patient contact.
Reasons for delays include additional elevator stops in 18.6% of high-rise residential calls, adding 54 seconds per stop to the interval from arrival on scene to patient contact. Access barriers delayed 33.9% of paramedic calls, and 67.6% of calls required an entry code. Poor signage impeded 82.6% of calls, and inability to fit the ambulance stretcher into the elevator hindered 67.9% of cases.
Ian Drennan and coauthors looked into the relationship between floor of patient contact and survival after cardiac arrest in residential buildings in Toronto, focusing on the time from arrival of the vehicle to patient contact.
Of 8,216 cardiac arrest patients in private residences who were treated by 911-initiated first responders, 3.8% survived to be discharged from the hospital; the further the patient's location from the ground floor, the lower the survival rate.
Of the 5,998 (73%) patients living below the third floor, 252, or 4.2%, survived. On or above the third floor, only 48, or 2.6%, of the 1,844 patients survived. Above the 16th floor, only 0.9%, or 2 out of 216, survived; and above the 25th floor, none of the 30 who had arrests survived.
The use of automated external defibrillators (AED) was "very low."
Drennan comments:
"As the number of high-rise buildings continues to increase and as population density rises in major urban centers, it is important to determine the effect of delays to patient care in high-rise buildings on survival after cardiac arrest."
As more people take up residence at or above the third floor, the time from arrival on scene to initial patient contact will become more significant.
New interventions needed to shorten cardiac arrest response time
The researchers call for interventions aimed at shortening response times to treatment of cardiac arrest in high-rise buildings, and they outline several solutions to improve time to patient contact.
Suggestions include giving 911-initiated first responders sole access to elevators for emergency service without public interference - as during a fire - as well as emergency alerts to building staff before the arrival of first responders and better placement of defibrillators to increase bystander use.
In a linked comment, Associate Prof. Marcus Eng Hock Ong, of Singapore General Hospital, and coauthors suggest CPR/AED training for residents of high-rise apartments, a national online registry of public-access defibrillators linked to first-responder applications and using smartphones to activate volunteer first responders for patients with cardiac arrest.
Ong notes that Singapore has a multipronged approach to these situations, including a large public campaign to enroll residents' committees as first responders and to train 1 million people over the next 5 years.

"As the number of high-rise buildings continues to increase and as population density rises in major urban centres, it is important to determine the effect of delays to patient care in high-rise buildings on survival after cardiac arrest," writes Ian Drennan, a paramedic with York Region Paramedic Services and a researcher with Rescu, Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute, St. Michael's Hospital, Toronto, with coauthors.
The further a patient with cardiac arrest is from the ground floor, the lower the survival rate. Of 8216 people who had cardiac arrests in private residences and were treated by 911-initiated first responders, 3.8% survived to be discharged from hospital. Of the 5998 (73%) people living below the 3rd floor who had cardiac arrests, 252 (4.2%) survived the arrest, but only 48 (2.6%) of the 1844 people living above the 3rd floor survived. When analysed floor by floor, the researchers found a survival rate of only 0.9% in those living above the 16th floor (2 of 216) and no survivors (0 of 30) in those living above the 25th floor.
The researchers note that the use of automated external defibrillators (AED) was very low.
The study looked at the interval from arrival of an emergency vehicle to 911-initiated first responders reaching a patient having a cardiac arrest. Other studies, which have also shown poor survival rates, have measured response time between the call to 911 and arrival of an emergency vehicle on scene, but not the time to reach the patient.
"The 911 response time, from emergency activation to arrival of first responders on scene, will remain relatively constant, so long as traffic patterns do not change; however, the time from arrival on scene to initial patient contact may increase as more of the population comes to live at or above the third floor," write the authors. "Thus, 911 response time may diminish in importance as a determinant for survival, whereas the time to patient contact may become more important in predicting who lives and who dies after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest."
The researchers outline several solutions to improve time to patient contact, such as giving 911-initiated first responders sole access to elevators for emergency service without public interference, similar to the access of firefighters during a fire; emergency alerts to building staff before arrival of the first responders; and better placement of defibrillators to increase bystander use.
The authors of a related commentary provide possible solutions to help improve survival rates, including CPR/AED training for residents of high-rise apartments, a national online registry of public-access defibrillators linked to first-responder applications, and using smartphones to activate volunteer first responders for patients with cardiac arrest.
"Singapore has a multipronged approach to address high-rise residential out-of-hospital cardiac arrests," writes Associate Professor Marcus Eng Hock Ong, Department of Emergency Medicine, Singapore General Hospital, with coauthors. "A large public campaign is currently underway to enrol residents' committees as first responders and to train one million people over the next five years."

Output: | As the world's ever-more urban population increasingly lives more than three stories above ground, there may be repercussions for anyone suffering a heart attack at the wrong end of a long elevator ride from the ground floor. Medics and other researchers have analyzed 8,216 cardiac arrests in private residences that involved treatment by 911-initiated first responders, and they report in the Canadian Medical Association Journal that people are twice as likely to survive a heart attack if they live below the third floor than above it. In fact, only two out of 216 people above the 16th floor survived, and zero out of 30 above the 25th floor did. "The time from arrival on scene to initial patient contact may increase as more of the population comes to live at or above the third floor," the authors write. In other words, ambulances are arriving just as quickly, but elevators are slowing first responders down. More than 400,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur in North America every year, with survival to hospital discharge often well below 10%, reports Medical News Today, which adds that for every minute a patient is delayed access to an automated external defibrillator (AED), there's a 7% to 10% drop in one's chance of surviving. As grim as the findings are, researchers note a few potential solutions, including making AEDs more widely available; providing first responders exclusive access to elevators in emergencies; and training residents of high-rise buildings in CPR and using AEDs, the researchers note in a press release. (In one Swiss town, even prostitutes are trained to use AEDs.) |
