Problem: Engines that use a MAP sensor are typically fuel injected. The manifold absolute pressure sensor provides instantaneous manifold pressure information to the engine's electronic control unit (ECU). The data is used to calculate air density and determine the engine's air mass flow rate, which in turn determines the required fuel metering for optimum combustion (see stoichiometry) and influence the advance or retard of ignition timing. A fuel-injected engine may alternatively use a mass airflow sensor (MAF sensor) to detect the intake airflow. A typical naturally aspirated engine configuration employs one or the other, whereas forced induction engines typically use both; a MAF sensor on the intake tract pre-turbo and a MAP sensor on the charge pipe leading to the throttle body.
| Solution: what is the purpose of the map sensor |

Question: (CNN) Though many individuals likely contributed to the President's decision to fire FBI Director James Comey, one notable one may have been Roger Stone, a 64-year-old close friend of Donald Trump and central figure in the FBI investigation into Trump campaign ties to Russia. In the middle of the Watergate scandal, Stone, who engaged in dirty tricks during Richard Nixon's 1972 campaign, was discovered to have hired a Republican operative to infiltrate the George McGovern campaign and was subsequently fired from his job. After the President's resignation, Stone remained an ardent Nixon apologist and loyalist. He even had the man's face tattooed on his back and devoted his life to ruthless, anything-goes politics (or political consulting, as you may know it). Stone's motto was and continues to be: "Admit nothing, deny everything, launch counterattack." And anyone who has watched Trump closely over the years would think it was his personal slogan, too.Michael D'Antonio: Roger Stone has undoubtedly influenced President Trump's decision to fire James ComeyAs an old friend and political adviser, Stone has taught Trump be ruthless -- particularly when protecting himself from attackTherefore Comey, who was leading the investigation into Trump campaign ties to Russia, had to be taken out, writes D'Antonio

Question: (CNN) Congressional Republicans may move quickly to repeal large chunks of Obamacare, possibly taking a vote as early as January to get rid of the law they universally despise. Sources told CNN that House and Senate GOP leaders are considering a novel and complicated approach to the budget reconciliation process that would allow Congress to act very soon after they are sworn-in in early January to repeal large sections of the Affordable Care Act. While GOP leaders have not settled on this tactic yet, it is one of several strategies being considered, two Senate GOP leadership aides told CNN. Democrats dealing with the issue were skeptical the unique approach would pass muster with the Senate parliamentarian, who plays a major role in deciding what can be done under the complex and highly technical reconciliation rules.Senate Republicans would need 60 votes (and Democratic support) to overcome a filibusterThey would need to get support from at least 8 Democrats to make changes to Obamacare provisions

Question: (CNN) I have been adamantly opposed to Donald Trump's candidacy from the first time he glided down the escalator at Trump Tower and descended into the pits of the worst parts of rhetoric against humankind by calling Mexican immigrants drug dealers and rapists. It is because of that moment -- and so many thereafter -- that I never believed this reality star had a legitimate chance or frankly that he was serious about running for president. But then came the deadline for candidates to file the Federal Election Commission's financial disclosure form -- he filed. "Oh no ... he is serious about running," I thought. Still, the American people -- including GOP primary voters -- wouldn't take him seriously, would they? America in 2016 after two terms of the first black President is no place for birtherism and Trump's brand of bigotry, is it?Angela Rye: Hillary Clinton brings her flaws to the election but also her set of strengthsDonald Trump is unfit and unqualified to become president, Rye says

In this task, you are given a question and a context passage. You have to answer the question based on the given passage.
Q: Einstein created a way of thinking called a?, Context: It was only the orbit of the planet Mercury that Newton's Law of Gravitation seemed not to fully explain. Some astrophysicists predicted the existence of another planet (Vulcan) that would explain the discrepancies; however, despite some early indications, no such planet could be found. When Albert Einstein formulated his theory of general relativity (GR) he turned his attention to the problem of Mercury's orbit and found that his theory added a correction, which could account for the discrepancy. This was the first time that Newton's Theory of Gravity had been shown to be less correct than an alternative.
A: theory

Q: What needs to decrease before pituitary growth hormone can increase in the blood?, Context: In addition to the negative consequences of sleep deprivation, sleep and the intertwined circadian system have been shown to have strong regulatory effects on immunological functions affecting both the innate and the adaptive immunity. First, during the early slow-wave-sleep stage, a sudden drop in blood levels of cortisol, epinephrine, and norepinephrine induce increased blood levels of the hormones leptin, pituitary growth hormone, and prolactin. These signals induce a pro-inflammatory state through the production of the pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1, interleukin-12, TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma. These cytokines then stimulate immune functions such as immune cells activation, proliferation, and differentiation. It is during this time that undifferentiated, or less differentiated, like naïve and central memory T cells, peak (i.e. during a time of a slowly evolving adaptive immune response). In addition to these effects, the milieu of hormones produced at this time (leptin, pituitary growth hormone, and prolactin) support the interactions between APCs and T-cells, a shift of the Th1/Th2 cytokine balance towards one that supports Th1, an increase in overall Th cell proliferation, and naïve T cell migration to lymph nodes. This milieu is also thought to support the formation of long-lasting immune memory through the initiation of Th1 immune responses.
A: cortisol, epinephrine, and norepinephrine

Q: Why might it be a good idea to remove data in audio signals?, Context: In lossy audio compression, methods of psychoacoustics are used to remove non-audible (or less audible) components of the audio signal. Compression of human speech is often performed with even more specialized techniques; speech coding, or voice coding, is sometimes distinguished as a separate discipline from audio compression. Different audio and speech compression standards are listed under audio coding formats. Voice compression is used in internet telephony, for example, audio compression is used for CD ripping and is decoded by the audio players.
A: | remove non-audible (or less audible) components of the audio signal

spy games Edward Snowden’s Dad Thinks He Can Get Him to Come Home
The father of NSA leaker and Russian airport king Edward Snowden believes he's figured out this asylum-limbo situation. Lonnie Snowden took to the Today show this morning to offer what he thinks are acceptable terms for Edward's return to the U.S., which he's also sent in a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder: He believes his son will come back to face the consequences if he's promised no pretrial detainment or gag order and the ability to select the location of the proceedings. While that's not typically how things work, the negotiations are also complicated by the fact that Lonnie hasn't spoken to his son since April.
"I love him. I would like to have the opportunity to communicate with him," Lonnie told NBC.
He's also not so sure about these WikiLeaks folks Edward has been hanging around with. "I don't want to put him in peril, but I am concerned about those who surround him," said Lonnie. "I think WikiLeaks, if you've looked at past history, you know, their focus isn't necessarily the Constitution of the United States. It's simply to release as much information as possible." ||||| Edward Snowden's father defend his wanted son on Friday, and even suggested that his son could return voluntarily to the United States, if certain (highly unlikely) conditions are met. In an interview with NBC News today, Lonnie Snowden says he wrote a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder saying that if the Justice Department agreed to make some particular promises about how they handled Edward's prosecution, then his son would "probably" return to the face trial. We wouldn't hold our breath on that score.
Among the conditions that the elder Snowden asked for: To allow his son to choose the venue for trial; that he not be subjected to a gag order; and that he be allowed to remain free until the trial begins. So he's basically asking that his son be allowed to keep doing the very things that he's wanted for in the first place: Talking to the press and running from police custody.
Even if the government did agree to those terms (which they never would), it doesn't really matter because Edward Snowden hasn't done so himself. Father and son haven't spoken since April, so he's not really speaking on Edward's behalf. We don't really know what it would take get him to come back to America, but he's obviously smart enough to know that he'll never get it. The government wants him behind bars, and if they ever get their hands on him, that's exactly where he'll stay.
Snowden Sr. also tried to defend his son from charges that he betrayed America or committed treason. While admitting that Edward broke the law, his dad says he's not a traitor to his country and added that he actually believes that Julian Assange and his WikiLeaks lawyers might be manipulating him. Lonnie Snowden said, "I am concerned about those who surround him. I think WikiLeaks, if you've looked at past history, you know, their focus isn't necessarily the Constitution of the United States. It's simply to release as much information as possible." Of course, the U.S. would love to get their hands on Assange too,

The father of Edward Snowden acknowledged Friday that his son broke U.S. law, but maintained that he is not a traitor for releasing classified information about the government’s previously secret surveillance programs.
“At this point I don't feel that he's committed treason. He has in fact broken U.S. law, in a sense that he has released classified information,” Lonnie Snowden told NBC’s Michael Isikoff in an exclusive interview that aired on TODAY. “And if folks want to classify him as a traitor, in fact he has betrayed his government. But I don't believe that he's betrayed the people of the United States. “
Snowden said he has told Attorney General Eric Holder through his lawyer that his son will probably return home if the Justice Department promises not to detain him before a trial nor subject him to a gag order. He also wants his son to choose where a trial would take place.
Edward Snowden’s current whereabouts are unknown. The former National Security Agency contractor is being sought for leaking top-secret documents that revealed the government’s widespread surveillance programs.
On Sunday, he reportedly flew to Moscow on his reported path to Ecuador, where officials in the South American nation have offered him asylum.
But on Thursday, Ecuador's President Rafael Correa described the case as a “complex situation” because Snowden must be physically in the country or inside an Ecuadorean embassy for his asylum application to be processed.
"For that to happen, a country would have to allow him to enter its territory, which has not come about yet," Correa said. “We don’t know it’ll be resolved.”
In a diplomatic slap to the United States, Correa also renounced a multimillion-dollar trade deal up for renewal between the two countries, saying any agreement would not be influenced by the Snowden case.
Earlier this week, U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez, the New Jersey Democrat who heads the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, promised to block renewal of the pact if Snowden were to receive asylum.
"Our government will not reward countries for bad behavior," he said in a statement.
That prompted Ecuador’s Correa to renounce the trade deal as part of a “blackmail" scheme.
"Do not threaten us with removing the preferential tariffs. We unilaterally and irrevocably waive them,” he said. “You can keep them.”
Snowden has reportedly been getting help in his escape plan from WikiLeaks, whose founder, Julian Assange, has been sheltered in Ecuador’s London embassy for the past year.
Lonnie Snowden has not spoken to his son since April, but he fears that Edward may be manipulated by WikiLeaks handlers and would like to get in touch with him.
“I don't want to put him in peril, but I am concerned about those who surround him,” Lonnie Snowden said. “I think WikiLeaks, if you've looked at past history, you know, their focus isn't necessarily the Constitution of the United States. It's simply to release as much information as possible.” |||||
Output: | Lonnie Snowden wants his son to come home, and he thinks he knows how to entice him to come. Snowden has sent a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder saying that he's fairly confident Edward would return to the US to face trial if the Justice Department guarantees he won't be detained before said trial, that he can choose the location of the trial, and that he won't be subject to a gag order, he tells Today. Of course, this is all coming just from the senior Snowden; he hasn't spoken to his son since April. "At this point, I don't feel that he's committed treason," Snowden tells Today. "He has betrayed his government. But I don't believe that he's betrayed the people of the United States." Over at Daily Intel, Joe Coscarelli doesn't have much confidence Snowden's plan to get his son back home will work; neither does Dashiell Bennet at the Atlantic Wire (Snowden wants his son to "be allowed to keep doing the very things that he's wanted for in the first place," he points out). Plus, Coscarelli writes, "While Lonnie's heart is clearly in the right place, his son is probably thinking something along the lines of, Please, Dad, not now!" |

How to prune old apple trees
Make sure that the tree is healthy.
Pruning an old apple tree can encourage it to develop new growth and fruit. If the tree is brittle, dead, or diseased, then pruning it won't help.
Pick from: [i] Mature trees should be pruned at least twice a year. Older trees should be pruned every two years.. [ii] To minimize damage to the tree as you prune, it's a good idea to prune it at least once a month, or every couple of years. Only prune overly old or brittle apple trees, as these types of trees usually suffer damage from harsh pruners.. [iii] Pruning a healthy older apple tree may end up splitting the tree down the middle. Clean the tree and inspect the tips for split or damage, which is a disease that most trees have.. [iv] To determine whether or not your tree is worth saving, look for the following : Grayish or crinkled branches: these branches are dead or diseased. If more than half of the tree's branches appear like this, then the tree is not worth saving.. | [iv] |

Electric charge is a physical property. It occurs between particles or objects. It causes them to attract or repel each other. They do not even have to touch. This is unlike the typical push or pull you may be familiar with. All electric charge is based on the protons and electrons in atoms. A proton has a positive electric charge. An electron has a negative electric charge. Forces on Charged Objects Most atoms are balanced electrically. They have the same number of positive and negative charges. Therefore, the number of protons equals the number of electrons. Neutrons do not matter as they have no charge. When an object loses some electrons, it becomes positively charged. There are now more protons than electrons inside the atom. The lost electrons may remain free. Or, they may attach to another object. The new object now has more electrons than protons. It then becomes negatively charged. <sep>How will increasing neutrons affect the particle's charge?<sep>Increasing neutrons in a particle will make it's charge even more neutral
Output: | No |

It is not enough to describe some objects by their location. We may also need to know its direction. For example, a wind blows a storm over your school. Where is that storm coming from? Where is it going? How can we describe a direction? The most common way is by using a compass. A compass is a device with a floating needle (Figure 2.1). The needle is a small magnet. The needle aligns itself with the Earth's magnetic field. The compass needle always points to magnetic north. If you have a compass and you find north. You can then know any other direction. See the directions, such as east, south, west, etc., on a compass rose. The Earth has two poles. It has a magnetic north pole. It also has a geographic north pole. These two poles are close to each other but not the exact same place. <sep>How does the compass work?<sep>by always pointing to magnetic north. | Yes |

In this task, you are given a text of many news articles seperated by special token "|||||". Your task is to summarize them.
On its website, UberEats describes its service as "the food you want, from the restaurants you love, delivered at Uber speed." But when a Toronto couple recently used the service to order two pizzas, they got food that nobody would ever want, from a restaurant that was equally as disgusted, delivered at a meandering pace that made zero sense. But hey, at least they didn't have to leave their house!
This past weekend, Anna Kotlikova and her boyfriend, Blake Weinzettl, ordered pizzas and sodas from Montana's restaurant, which is reasonably close to where they live, but it was Sunday night and everyone's lazy by the time the weekend ends. The driver was half an hour late, and they were already irked after they'd tracked his nonsensical route on their phone screens. But things got worse when he actually dropped off a paper bag that supposedly contained their dinner.
"The smell overwhelmed the whole room," Kotlikova told the CBC. Inside that unholy paper bag, the couple found two moldy sandwiches—one which had a bite taken out of it—a pair of "unidentifiable round disks" and a salad that had seen better days. The order number on the bag didn't match their order from Montana's, or their order number from UberEats.
Kotlikova had so many questions; for example, where had the food come from? What happened to their actual order? And where did the driver go when he was supposed to be picking up and delivering their dinner? She was disappointed with UberEats' response, which was a stilted, scripted explanation and a gift certificate for $25. (Right, because surely they're psyched to see what they get next time they order. Perhaps a dead houseplant, or a severed foot? A half-chewed rotisserie chicken? Anything could happen!)
Sathes Kumar, the general manager at Montana's, is even more perplexed by what happened. He told the CBC that a second couple had a similar complaint—and possibly received an equally disgusting order—even though he insists that both orders were correctly packaged (and decidedly not rotten) when he gave them to the driver.
UberEats told the news outlet that the driver had no prior complaints and had an overall rating of 4.8 out of a possible 5.0. "UberEATS is committed to helping deliver quality food from our restaurant partner," an UberEats spokesperson told MUNCHIES. "We are reviewing this order and are continuing to work with the restaurant and the driver to help understand what may have happened. We have removed this driver's access to UberEATS as we look further into this."
Weinzetti provided the following statement to MUNCHIES regarding the incident:
"UBER has confirmed with me personally from their New York office that this was not a mistake. The driver had been inactive for 2 weeks and had only made 3 trips during June 4th (Sunday). All 3 trips happened to be from Montanas and every customer received mixed and matched mouldy old food with at least 1 item fresh from Montanas. UBER has not offered me anything for this inconvenience except C$25 in UBER Credits. Montanas wasn't even the issue in this whole situation and the restaurant decided to reach out to me to offer my girlfriend and I and entire Dinner meal for free due to UBERs inconvenience, which I thought was very kind. UBERs social rep "Dan" has confirmed with me that the Driver has been terminated and will never be driving for UBER again, they plan to press charges on the driver to make sure he can never work for another food delivery or cab service again."
Dining out suddenly doesn't seem so bad. ||||| Everyone hates the wait between ordering food and the food actually arriving. So, you can imagine the dismay one Toronto couple experienced when their UberEATS order resulted in a couple of extremely old, smelly sandwiches being delivered to their door.
Anna Kotlikova and Blake Weinzettl ordered pizza and soda from a nearby restaurant, Montana's, this weekend through UberEATS but instead received a paper bag full of rotten sandwiches, and salad.
Just...how?
Weinzettl told Mashable in an email that the situation began when the app showed the driver being 15 minutes from their location, when the restaurant is only five minutes from their home. He said he placed a call to the driver and was told that he had been waiting for the food for 20 minutes.
Weinzettl thought he may have mistakenly ordered from a location further away, but upon arrival, the driver confirmed that the order was placed at the restaurant five minutes away.
"We opened up the brown bag which [Montana's] doesn't ever give when ordering," he told Mashable. "Inside the brown bag was a bag tied up very poorly. Again [Montana's] makes all their packaging very tight and also gives a receipt. There was no receipt."
That's when they found what he described as "the horrible mess of decaying food."
A pretty dilapidated salad came with the sandwiches. Image: Blake Weinzettl
Weinzettl posted photos of the food (if that's what you call it) to Twitter, and tagged UberEats in it.
"Your uber driver delivered half eaten moldy food (not our order) and played a sick joke on us, customer service was a joke," he wrote.
@UberEATS your uber driver delivered half eaten moldy food (not our order) and played a sick joke on us, customer service was a joke. pic.twitter.com/tYeIyamsqA — Blake Weinzettl (@808CULT) June 5, 2017
In a statement to Mashable, a spokeswoman for Uber confirmed that the ride-sharing company is looking into the incident. "We have removed this driver's access to UberEATS as we look further into this," the statement said.
The company also told CBC Toronto that "The driver has a 4.8 rating of 5.0, and no similar complaints in his history."
Weinzettl said that Uber's New York office confirmed with him that the incident was not a mistake. "The driver had been inactive for two weeks and had only made three trips during June 4th (Sunday). All three trips happened to be from Montanas and every customer received mixed and matched mouldy old food with at least one item fresh from Montanas," he said in an email.
Uber offered him $25 in Uber credit.
He added that Uber offered him $25 in Uber credit, and that a representative for the company told him that the driver was terminated and would not drive for the company again. He said the representative also told him that Uber plans to press charges on the driver.
Mashable followed up with Uber to try to confirm Weinzettl's statement, but the company did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Weinzettl stressed that Montana's was gracious in handling the situation.
"They got me to come to the restaurant to make me a fresh brand new batch of food right after explaining the situation so we didn't go hungry the same night this happened," he said. "They've also reached back out to me and have offered us a free reserved dinner for two." ||||| The mystery of mouldy sandwiches has left a suburban Toronto couple miffed at UberEats and a little less trusting of who's delivering dinner to their doorstep.
Anna Kotlikova and her boyfriend, Blake Weinzettl, of Etobicoke, were at home Sunday evening when an UberEats driver arrived more than a half-hour late with what they thought were two fresh pizzas and a couple of cans of pop.
Instead, Kotlikova opened "the huge brown bag that the food was stuffed in" and found mouldy sandwiches, one partly eaten, accompanied by two unidentifiable round disks and a salad that looked like it was made last week.
"The smell overwhelmed the whole room," Kotlikova said, adding the packaging appeared to be tampered with and the utensils had been opened.
They called Montana's restaurant just down the road, and the manager insisted their original order was properly packaged and handed over to an UberEats driver.
Confused and curious, they called Uber and reached out to the company over social media channels. They had so many questions, Kotlikova recalled — so many things that didn't make sense.
"I don't know where he [the driver] got this mysterious big brown bag with an order number, which wasn't even our order number, or the order number from the restaurant," she told CBC Toronto.
'Where is this old food coming from?'
Then there was his route. The app lets users see where their drivers are once they've picked up an order. Kotlikova got an alert their pizzas were en route, but the driver was "at least 15 minutes away somewhere," despite the restaurant being just down the road.
"I don't know where this guy was driving to, because he definitely did go somewhere," she said. "And where is this old food coming from? And why is he doing this?"
Any guesses at what the yellow things are? (Anna Kotlikova/Facebook)
Outraged and concerned, Kotlikova posted her tale in a Facebook group, with photos to match. The post elicited a flurry of responses, with one person claiming their own friend had the same experience that night, and had ordered from the same restaurant.
Sathes Kumar, general manager of the Montana's in question, confirmed the restaurant got two separate complaints Sunday night, and whoever else called had a nearly identical experience.
He said the restaurant has sent photos and filed an official complaint with Uber, but stressed that, to his knowledge, something like this had never happened before.
'Lack of urgency' in Uber's response
For Kotlikova and Weinzettl, the decaying organic matter they got is only a small part of the story. According to the couple, their complaints to UberEats were answered with scripted corporate speak and useless message chains.
They received a refund and a $25 voucher. But what they really want is answers, especially about the driver.
"So we don't know if he regularly drives for Uber? We have no idea," she said. "That's why we wanted Uber to have a sense of urgency and figure this out and at least update us on what's going on."
The salad looks ... partly edible, at least. (Anna Kotlikova/Facebook)
The driver has a 4.8 rating of 5.0, and no similar complaints in his history, Uber told CBC Toronto on Monday.
In a written statement, an Uber spokesperson wrote on Tuesday, "We are continuing to work with the restaurant and the driver to help understand what may have happened. We have removed this driver's access to UberEats and Uber as we look further into this."
As for the why? If only mouldy sandwiches could talk.
More from CBC Toronto: ||||| | There wasn't anything terribly special about their order, but what happened next was truly unexpected. Toronto-area couple Anna Kotlikova and Blake Weinzettl ordered pizza and soda from a nearby haunt, Montana's, over the weekend, using UberEATS so they wouldn't have to go out and pick it up. But as Weinzettl tells Mashable, their app showed the driver "en route" some 15 minutes from their location—though the restaurant is five minutes away. When the driver arrived, a second strange clue: He handed over food in a brown paper bag, which isn't the type Montana's uses for take-away orders. Inside the brown bag, things were nightmarish. There was another bag Weinzettl says was "tied up very poorly," and inside that was a "horrible mess of decaying food," including half-eaten moldy sandwiches so gross Weinzettl called the whole thing a "sick joke." He posted photos on Twitter, and tells Vice's Munchies that Uber has confirmed to him that it was not a mistake and the driver, who'd been inactive for two weeks, made only three trips on Sunday, all of which were deliveries of moldy food he said he'd gotten from Montana's. (Montana's confirmed the couple's order was picked up.) "The smell overwhelmed the whole room," Kotlikova tells the CBC. Uber has offered the couple a $25 credit, which Weinzettl considers a disappointing response. (It's been a rough week for Uber. Really rough.) |

How to know where to get perfume samples
Visit department stores in person.
Sephora and nordstrom are two of the best department stores for getting completely free perfume samples. If the store doesn't carry samples of a particular perfume you're interested in, many of them will decant a bottle and make you a sample of your choice.
OPTIONS:
- Look for clear packages with clear labels and easy clean prints. The sales team will rarely care if you spill or taste urine on the perfume-you can always sniff it again at the end of the week.
- Bring a few zip-lock baggies, some small sticky labels and a handful of cotton balls with you. If there is no other way to bring home a sample, simply spritz the perfume on the cotton ball and put it in the baggie.
- Avoid going to department stores that may carry only 6 or 8 samples of your preferred perfume. Search online to find samples available at department stores.
- If you cannot find a store that sells french coffees or makeup products, see try ordering samples online. Check to see how many samples every store carries.
OUT: Bring a few zip-lock baggies, some small sticky labels and a handful of cotton balls with you. If there is no other way to bring home a sample, simply spritz the perfume on the cotton ball and put it in the baggie.

[Q]: "Femme" is an apt description of the depiction of Madame White Snake and all her incarnations. It refers to a woman who is dangerously attractive, and lures men to their downfall with her sexual attractiveness. In both incarnations of Madame White snake, the authors depict her as bewitchingly beautiful. Toyoo, her human lover in "Lust of the White Serpant" cannot shake the image of her beauty from his mind and dreams of her, and finds himself "disturbed and agitated" by her "ethereal beauty". In "Eternal Prisoner," Madame White Snake's bewitching beauty follows her lover Hsü into his dreams, and the next morning "he was so distracted that he could not concentrate on doing business." Both of these stories align negative connotations with her beauty, suggesting that her sexuality is the cause of their distraction. In addition to distracting sexuality, the irregular characterization of Madame White Snake might be another trait her character has in common with the archetypical noir femme fatale. In her essay analyzing the noir film from a feminist perspective, Christine Gledhill writes "Not only is the hero frequently not sure whether the woman is honest or a deceiver, but the heroine's characterisation is itself fractured so that it is not evident to the audience whether she fills the [femme fatale] stereotype or not". <sep>In this passage, "Femme" is referring to what kind of woman?<sep>Bewitching beauty

[Q]: While this process moved along, diplomacy continued its rounds. Direct pressure on the Taliban had proved unsuccessful. As one NSC staff note put it, "Under the Taliban, Afghanistan is not so much a state sponsor of terrorism as it is a state sponsored by terrorists." In early 2000, the United States began a high-level effort to persuade Pakistan to use its influence over the Taliban. In January 2000, Assistant Secretary of State Karl Inderfurth and the State Department's counterterrorism coordinator, Michael Sheehan, met with General Musharraf in Islamabad, dangling before him the possibility of a presidential visit in March as a reward for Pakistani cooperation. Such a visit was coveted by Musharraf, partly as a sign of his government's legitimacy. He told the two envoys that he would meet with Mullah Omar and press him on Bin Laden. They left, however, reporting to Washington that Pakistan was unlikely in fact to do anything," given what it sees as the benefits of Taliban control of Afghanistan." President Clinton was scheduled to travel to India. The State Department felt that he should not visit India without also visiting Pakistan. The Secret Service and the CIA, however, warned in the strongest terms that visiting Pakistan would risk the President's life. Counterterrorism officials also argued that Pakistan had not done enough to merit a presidential visit. But President Clinton insisted on including Pakistan in the itinerary for his trip to South Asia. His one-day stopover on March 25, 2000, was the first time a U.S. president had been there since 1969. At his meeting with Musharraf and others, President Clinton concentrated on tensions between Pakistan and India and the dangers of nuclear proliferation, but also discussed Bin Laden. President Clinton told us that when he pulled Musharraf aside for a brief, one-on-one meeting, he pleaded with the general for help regarding Bin Laden." I offered him the moon when I went to see him, in terms of better relations with the United States, if he'd help us get Bin Laden and deal with another issue or two." The U.S. effort continued. <sep>Why did the Secret Service and the CIA think it was a bad idea to visit Pakistan?<sep>"Pakistan had not done enough to merit a presidential visit" and "visiting Pakistan would risk the President's life."

Input: Consider Input: Between 1901 and 2017, the Nobel Prizes including the Economic Prizes were awarded 585 times to 923 people and organizations. With some receiving the Nobel Prize more than once, this makes a total of 24 organizations, and 892 individuals. The prize ceremonies take place annually in Stockholm, Sweden (with the exception of the peace prize, which is held in Oslo, Norway). Each recipient, or laureate, receives a gold medal, a diploma, and a sum of money that has been decided by the Nobel Foundation. (As of 2017, each prize is worth 9,000,000 SEK, or about US$1,110,000, €944,000, £836,000 or ₹72,693,900.) Medals made before 1980 were struck in 23 carat gold, and later in 18 carat green gold plated with a 24 carat gold coating.

Input: Consider Input: Seawater, or salt water, is water from a sea or ocean. On average, seawater in the world's oceans has a salinity of about 3.5% (35 g/L, 599 mM). This means that every kilogram (roughly one litre by volume) of seawater has approximately 35 grams (1.2 oz) of dissolved salts (predominantly sodium (Na ) and chloride (Cl ) ions). Average density at the surface is 1.025 kg/L. Seawater is denser than both fresh water and pure water (density 1.0 kg/L at 4 °C (39 °F)) because the dissolved salts increase the mass by a larger proportion than the volume. The freezing point of seawater decreases as salt concentration increases. At typical salinity, it freezes at about −2 °C (28 °F). The coldest seawater ever recorded (in a liquid state) was in 2010, in a stream under an Antarctic glacier, and measured −2.6 °C (27.3 °F). Seawater pH is typically limited to a range between 7.5 and 8.4. However, there is no universally accepted reference pH-scale for seawater and the difference between measurements based on different reference scales may be up to 0.14 units.
| Output: is sea water and salt water the same thing?

Alice's Adventures in Wonderlandis one of the most loved children's books of all time, and many adults enjoy it as well. It tells the story of a young girl named Alice, who follows a rabbit entering a magical world called Wonderland. She has many experiences which seem to change the rules of reasoning or common sense. The popularity of the book comes from its imagination, interesting story, and art work. The writer of the book is Lewis Carroll. In fact, Lewis Carroll was not the writer's real name. His real name was Charles Dodgson. One day, he took a boat ride down the Thames River to have a picnic with three little girls who were friends of the family. To keep them entertained on the ride, he told them a story in which Alice, the middle child, was the main character. They enjoyed the story very much. Charles later wrote the story down under the nameAlice's Adventures Under Groundand gave it to Alice as a Christmas present. Later, he gave a copy to his friend George MacDonald. George read it to his children and they loved it. George suggested to Charles that he make a book from his story. Charles then wrote more parts to the story until it was around 35,000 words. It was first printed in 1866, with art work by John Tenniel, under the nameAlice's Adventures in Wonderland. The book was an immediate success. One of its first fans was Queen Victoria. She immediately requested a collection of all of Lewis Carroll's works. She was surprised to find that they included many works on math. In fact, Charles Dodgson was a highly respected mathematician. This can be seen in many puzzles and plays on reasoning that appear in his books and poems. Since the story was first printed, it has kept selling up to the present day. It has been translated into over fifty languages and has had several movies based on it. The passage is mainly about _ . A) Charles' family life B) the birth of a book and its lasting influences C) a magical world called Wonderland D) a girl's adventurous experiences

Being less than perfectly well-dressed in a business setting can result in a feeling of great discomfort that may well require treatment to eliminate (remove). And the sad truth is that "clothing mismatches" on the job can ruin the day of the person who is wearing the inappropriate attire --and the people with whom he or she comes in contact. Offices vary when it comes to dress codes. Some businesses have very high standards for their employees and set strict guidelines for office attire, while others maintain a more relaxed attitude. However, it is always important to remember that no matter what your company's attitude is regarding what you wear, you are working in a business environment and you should dress properly. Certain items may be more appropriate for evening wear than for a business meeting, just as shorts and a T-shirt are better suited for the beach than for an office environment. Your attire should reflect both your environment and your position. A senior vice president has a different image to maintain than that of a secretary or sales assistant. Like it or not, you will be judged by your personal appearance. This is never more apparent than on _ , when what you wear can say more about you than any business suit ever could. In fact, people will pay more attention to what you wear on dress-down days than on "business professional" days. Thus, when dressing in "business casual" clothes, try to put some good taste into your wardrobe choices, and recognize that the "real" definition of business casual is to dress just one notch down from what you would normally wear of business-professional attire days. Remember, there are borders between your career and our social life. You should dress one way for play and another way when you mean business. Always ask yourself where you are going and how other people will be dressed when you get there. Is the final destination the opera, the beach, or the office? Dress properly and you will discover the truth in the principle that clothes make the man--and the... What is the passage mainly about? A) How to dress properly in a business setting. B) The relationship between career and social life. C) The differences between professional and casual dress. D) Dressing codes vary in different situations.

Have you ever considered why you begin yawning too when you see someone yawn? Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well, apparently it's because we have mirror neurons in our brains. Put simply, the existence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something, our brains imitate it whether or not we actually perform the same action. This explains a great deal about how, we learn to smile, talk, walk, dance or play sports. But the idea goes further: mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions, they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people. Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains, but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages, and to understand how other people feel. Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language. A group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to ( for example: "The hand took hold of the ball" ) , the same mirror neurons were _ as when the action was actually performed (in this example, actually taking hold of a ball). Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning. However, it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders. Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with even more information regarding how humans behave and interact. Indeed, it may turn out to be the equivalent for neuroscience of what Einstein's theory of relativity was for physics. And the next time you feel the urge to cough in the cinema when someone else does -- well, perhaps you'll understand why. What is the passage mainly about? A) Ways to find mirror neurons. B) Problems of mirror neurons. C) Functions of mirror neurons. D) Existence of mirror neurons.

Vancouver is located in the southwest corner of Canada in the province of British Columbia. Vancouver is the largest city in the province and the third largest in Canada. It covers an area of 113 sq km. It is surrounded by water on three sides and overlooked by the Coast Range. Its climate is one of the mildest in Canada. Temperatures average 3degC in January and 18degC in July. Vancouver's most rainfall occurs in winter. Archaeological evidence shows that coastal Indians had settled the Vancouver area by 500 BC. British naval captain George Vancouver explored the area in 1792. Vancouver was founded as a sawmill settlement called Granville in the 1870s. The city was united in 1886 and renamed after Captain Vancouver. As the main western terminus of Canada's transcontinental highway and rail routes, Vancouver is the primary city of western Canada, as well as one of the nation's largest industrial centers. The Port of Vancouver is Canada's largest and most various port, trading more than $43 billion in goods with more than 90 trading economies annually. Port activities generate 69,200 jobs in total with $4 billion in gross domestic product (GDP) and $8.9 billion in economic output. Vancouver is a major tourist place. In addition to the city's scenic location, visitors enjoy beautiful gardens and world-famous Stanley Park, one of more than 180 city parks, and a combination of natural forest and parklands near the city centre.

Scientists and religious experts are debating the value of a small piece of papyrus that found its way to a researcher in the United States. The piece of paper raises an ages-old question about Jesus, whose life and teachings form the heart of Christianity. Could Jesus have been married? Harvard Divinity School Professor Karen King recently explained the Coptic wording on the papyrus. She says the words mean that Jesus called Mary Magdalene, an early Christian, "my wife." She says he did this while speaking to his disciples, or followers. "I don't think that this text is that significant. There are so many barriers for it to get over. You've got to show that it's reliable, and there are real questions about whether that text is reliable." Professor Bock expresses other concerns about the papyrus. For example, he says, there is not enough writing on it to establish the real meaning of the words. He says the word "wife" may not mean "wife" in the traditional way. And, he says the papyrus is just one text showing that Jesus might have been married. "And then you've got the fact that this is one text out of many, many, many texts that don't indicate that Jesus was married. And I think had Jesus been married, the early tradition about Jesus would have reflected that." Professor Bock doesn't think that Jesus was married for the following reasons EXCEPT that _ . A) the words on the papyrus are too few to be translated exactly. B) the number of texts which indicate that Jesus was married is much too small. C) Jesus' marriage has never been reflected in the early tradition. D) the word "wife" can't have the same meaning as it had in the long past.

Women consistently lie on social networking sites such as Facebook or Twitter to make their lives appear more exciting, a survey has found. The survey was asked to carried out by Pencourage, a new anonymous "diary-style" social media website. Researchers found that at least one in four women exaggerated or twisted what they are doing on social media once a month. The survey of 2000 women found they mostly pretended to be out on the town, when in fact they are home alone, and beautify about an exotic holiday or their job. The most common reasons for women to write _ included worrying their lives would seem " boring", jealousy at seeing other people's more exciting posts and wanting to impress their friends and acquaintances. Psychologists suggested that as people attempt to stay connected on social media, they can in fact be left more isolated. They also said that the more we try to make our lives seem perfect, the less perfect we feel. According to the OnePoll survey, one third of women surveyed admitted to dishonesty on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter at some stage. Almost one in four admitted to lying or exaggerating about key aspects of their life online between one and three times a month while almost one in 10 said they lied more than once a week. Nearly 30 percent of women lied about "doing something when I am home alone", almost a quarter overstated their alcohol consumption while one in five were not truthful about their holiday activities or their jobs. Almost one in five women even lied about their "relationship status". "We work very hard presenting ourselves to the world online, pretending and attempting to be happy all the time which is exhausting and ultimately unfulfilling," said Dr Michael Sinclair, a leading British consultant psychologist. "Leaving out the less desirable imperfections of our lives from the conversations with our 'friends online leads to less opportunity to feel empathized with, resulting in a greater sense of disconnection from others. " According to the passage, women tend to lie on social networking sites because _ . A) they have little fun in their daily lives B) they are not satisfied with their present life C) they want to entertain their friends and acquaintances D) they don't want to go out and communicate with others

Imagine you are standing in a farm field in central Illinois. The land is so flat you can see for miles and miles. On a clear day, you might see a grain silo 20 miles away. You might think to yourself, it sure is flat around here. If you drive one hundred miles to the south, the landscape changes. In southern Illinois, there are rolling hills. Why do you think this is? What could have caused these features? There are no big rivers that may have eroded and deposited this material. The ground is capable of supporting grass and trees, so wind erosion would not explain it. To answer the question, you need to go back 12,000 years. Around 12,000 years ago, a giant ice sheet covered much of the Midwest United States. Springfield, Illinois, was covered by over a mile of ice. Its hard to imagine a mile thick sheet of ice. The massive ice sheet, called a glacier, caused the features on the land you see today. Where did glaciers go? Where can you see them today? Glaciers are masses of flowing ice. <sep>How long ago was Springfield, Illinois covered by over a mile of ice?<sep>11,000 years

Example Input: Fair Credit Reporting Act -- The Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681 (``FCRA'') is U.S. Federal Government legislation enacted to promote the accuracy, fairness, and privacy of consumer information contained in the files of consumer reporting agencies. It was intended to protect consumers from the willful and/or negligent inclusion of inaccurate information in their credit reports. To that end, the FCRA regulates the collection, dissemination, and use of consumer information, including consumer credit information. Together with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (``FDCPA''), the FCRA forms the foundation of consumer rights law in the United States. It was originally passed in 1970, and is enforced by the US Federal Trade Commission, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and private litigants.

Example Input: Electric chair -- Although the electric chair has long been a symbol of the death penalty in the United States, its use is in decline due to the rise of lethal injection, which is widely believed to be a more humane method of execution. While some states still maintain electrocution as a method of execution, today it is only maintained as a secondary method that may be chosen over lethal injection at the request of the prisoner, except in Tennessee, where it may be used if the drugs for lethal injection are not available, without input from the prisoner. As of 2014, electrocution is an optional form of execution in the states of Alabama, Florida, South Carolina, and Virginia, all of which allow the prisoner to choose lethal injection as an alternative method. In the state of Kentucky, the electric chair has been retired, except for those whose capital crimes were committed prior to March 31, 1998, and who choose electrocution; inmates who do not choose electrocution and inmates who committed their crimes after the designated date are executed by lethal injection. In the state of Tennessee, the electric chair is available for use if lethal injection drugs are unavailable, or otherwise, if the inmate so chooses and if their capital crime was committed before 1999. The electric chair is an alternate form of execution approved for potential use in Arkansas, Mississippi, and Oklahoma if other forms of execution are found unconstitutional in the state at the time of execution.
Example Output: do they still use electric chair death penalty
Example Input: Alkaline battery -- Compared with zinc-carbon batteries of the Leclanché cell or zinc chloride types, alkaline batteries have a higher energy density and longer shelf-life, with the same voltage.

Now, solve this: In chess, the king (♔,♚) is the most important piece. The object of the game is to threaten the opponent's king in such a way that escape is not possible (checkmate). If a player's king is threatened with capture, it is said to be in check, and the player must remove the threat of capture on the next move. If this cannot be done, the king is said to be in checkmate, resulting in a loss for that player. Although the king is the most important piece, it is usually the weakest piece in the game until a later phase, the endgame. Players cannot make any move that places their own king in check.

Unlike the other pieces, pawns cannot move backwards. Normally a pawn moves by advancing a single square, but the first time a pawn moves, it has the option of advancing two squares. Pawns may not use the initial two-square advance to jump over an occupied square, or to capture. Any piece immediately in front of a pawn, friend or foe, blocks its advance. In the diagram, the pawn on c4 can move to c5, while the pawn on e2 can move to either e3 or e4.
answer:
can you move a pawn backwards in chess?

When the Republican presidential primary was still in full swing in March, officials from Donald Trump's campaign promoted a conspiracy theory -- one of many -- insisting there was a nefarious link between his political opponents and an anti-Trump super PAC. It began this spring when a group called Make America Awesome, an anti-Trump group, posted a photo of Trump's wife, Melania, that criticized her for posing semi-nude in a magazine photo shoot. Trump responded by crudely lambasting the physical appearance of Ted Cruz's wife, Heidi, and he justified it by claiming that Cruz was behind the attack on his own wife.Why do many campaigns and Super PACs share the same PO box?The reason is a lot less interesting than the conspiracy that has been alleged
Questions:Because those groups listed the same address, they claimed it was proof that the anti-_ forces were operating from the same source. (A) PO (B) Northern Virginia (C) Republican (D) Donald Trump (E) Make America Awesome (F) Melania (G) Ted Cruz (H) Heidi (I) Cruz (J) Super PACs

How to recognize male infertility
Understand that male infertility often has no obvious signs.
Many infertile men experience a regular sex life and have sperm that looks fine to the naked eye. In this sense, it is difficult to recognize the physical symptoms of male infertility.
OPTIONS:
- Warning signs are rare, but some infertile men have lumps or swelling near the testicles, breast growth, erectile dysfunction, and respiratory problems. Feel for a lump or swelling in your testicles.
- External factors such as age, gender, and physical impairment are unavoidable. Men who have not had a regular sex life, more directly, may develop an infertility related to a gender trait, such as wanting to have sex for many reasons, or genetics dating back to childhood.
- As a result, it's not uncommon for male infertility to manifest and become visible without noticeable problems. However, keep in mind that there are some fairly minor symptoms that occur during and after menstruation, but they are virtually invisible due to their abnormalities.
- However, it is much more important to have a good sense of something clear for the witness and a close, knowledgeable partner who knows exactly what is going on. Men are most likely fertile in the 60s or earlier.

How to condition your hands for martial arts training
Begin slowly.
Get used to forming and shaping your knuckles by doing fist push ups while standing and using a wall. Do the push up as you would on the ground.
OPTIONS:
- Hold position for five seconds to a minute, then roll your wrist from side to side and bring it back to a holding position. Repeat with the other hand and you will become very flexible to your existing knuckles over time.
- By doing them on the wall, it helps not to put too much pressure on the knuckles of the first two joints. This also helps getting the muscles used in doing push ups to get stronger and also hits the muscles at a different angle.
- This will make you more accurate at forming your fists. Start with a finger towards your palm on the same side as your thumb.
- Do about 5 repetitions of this if you have never done a push up. Do headstand ups a few times a week.

Superfecundation -- Superfecundation is the fertilization of two or more ova from the same cycle by sperm from separate acts of sexual intercourse, which can lead to twin babies from two separate biological fathers. The term superfecundation is derived from fecund, meaning the ability to produce offspring. Heteropaternal superfecundation refers to the fertilization of two separate ova by two different fathers. Homopaternal superfecundation refers to the fertilization of two separate ova from the same father, leading to fraternal twins. While heteropaternal superfecundation is referred to as a form of atypical twinning, genetically, the twins are half siblings. Superfecundation, while rare, can occur through either separate occurrences of sexual intercourse or through artificial insemination.

Gutenberg in 1439 was the first European to use movable type. Among his many contributions to printing are: the invention of a process for mass-producing movable type; the use of oil-based ink for printing books; adjustable molds; mechanical movable type; and the use of a wooden printing press similar to the agricultural screw presses of the period. His truly epochal invention was the combination of these elements into a practical system that allowed the mass production of printed books and was economically viable for printers and readers alike. Gutenberg's method for making type is traditionally considered to have included a type metal alloy and a hand mould for casting type. The alloy was a mixture of lead, tin, and antimony that melted at a relatively low temperature for faster and more economical casting, cast well, and created a durable type.

On Monday, departing Gov. Roy Barnes will spend his first day as a private citizen by starting his new job as a full-time, pro-bono (unpaid) lawyer at the Atlanta Legal Aid Society. The decision by Barnes, the most improbable casualty of Election Day 2002, to go to work for legal aid was almost as unexpected as his November defeat. As a legal services attorney, Barnes will help women escape domestic violence, Mauricio Vivero is vice president seniors fight predatory lending scams and parents obtain child support for their kids. of Legal In doing so, he will take his place on the front line of the U.S. legal community's Services Corporation, the uphill and underpublicized struggle to achieve equal access to justice for millions of Washington-Americans too poor to afford legal representation. based nonprofit corporation chartered by The inaccessibility of the U.S. civil justice system is hardly a new development, but it Congress in took Barnes' decision to put the national media spotlight on our country's ongoing 1974 to promote equal access to access-to-justice crisis. civil justice. The 2000 U.S. census reports that more than 43 million Americans qualify for free federally funded legal assistance, yet fewer than 20 percent of eligible clients (annual income: $11,075 or less) are able to obtain legal help when they need it, according to the American Bar Association. In Georgia, there is just one legal aid lawyer for every 10,500 eligible poor people. Barnes understood this problem long before he became governor. While in private practice, he handled many pro-bono cases and was a frequent volunteer in the Cobb County office of the federally funded Atlanta Legal Aid Society. Most memorably, he secured a $115 million judgment in 1993 against Fleet Finance for victimizing 18,000 homeowners -- many of them senior citizens -- with its widespread predatory lending mortgage practices. His long-standing commitment to the underserved is certainly admirable, but it should not be viewed as a rare and laudable act of civic virtue. To be admitted to practice law, every attorney must take a professional oath to promote justice -- and every state's ethical rules include language indicating lawyers' responsibility to be guardians of fair play for those living in poverty. In Georgia, many law firms, corporations and private attorneys are working pro bono to serve the neediest clients. Yet only 23 percent of the state's 23,598 active lawyers reported meeting the Georgia State Bar's goal of 50 hours of pro-bono service in 2002. The need for volunteers is most severe outside the five-county Atlanta metropolitan area, where 70 percent of the state's poor people are served by only 24 percent of the state's lawyers. National pro-bono participation is even worse. Only 23 percent of the roughly 1 million attorneys in America volunteer even one hour of pro-bono service annually, according to the ABA. <sep>Who handled many pro-bono cases and was a frequent volunteer in the Cobb County office of the federally funded Atlanta Legal Aid Society?<sep>Congress | Yes |

NEW YORK A new Microsoft Corp product that allows website publishers to embed digital photographs on their sites is a "massive infringement" of copyrighted images, Getty Images Inc [GETTY.UL] claimed in a lawsuit filed in federal court in New York on Thursday.
The "Bing Image Widget," released on Aug. 22, gives publishers the ability to create a panel on their websites that displays digital images supplied by Microsoft's Bing search engine, according to the lawsuit.
Rather than draw from a pool of licensed images, the lawsuit claimed, the product grants access to the billions of images that can be found online, without regard to whether the photos are copyrighted.
"In effect, defendant has turned the entirety of the world's online images into little more than a vast, unlicensed 'clip art' collection for the benefit of those website publishers who implement the Bing Image Widget, all without seeking permission from the owners of copyrights in those images," the lawsuit said.
Getty, which produces and distributes photos, video, music and multi-media products, is asking a judge in U.S. District Court to block the widget immediately and award an unspecified amount of damages. The actual injury to Getty is "incalculable," according to the lawsuit.
In a statement, a Microsoft spokeswoman said the company would consider whether Getty's claims had merit.
"As a copyright owner ourselves we think the laws in this area are important," the spokeswoman said in an email. "We'll take a close look at Getty's concerns."
John Lapham, general counsel for Getty, said his company has been engaged in discussions with Microsoft for more than a year about what he called the "erosion" of copyright protection for online images.
The widget, he said, goes well beyond a search tool by helping websites embed copyrighted images for commercial use. Getty's own embedding tool, by contrast, is only available for non-commercial websites and includes photographer attribution, he said.
"Now you have someone else’s picture in full, beautiful display on your website, having never paid for it and with no attribution to the photographer at all," he said.
The widget is already in use by websites around the world, the lawsuit said. Getty owns or represents more than 80 million unique digital images, according to the lawsuit.
The case is Getty Images Inc v. Microsoft Corp, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, No. 14-7114.
(Reporting by Joseph Ax; Editing by Leslie Adler and Diane Craft) ||||| Microsoft has pulled a new tool from its Bing service after being accused of "massive infringement" of copyrighted photographs.
The Bing Image Widget let bloggers and other online publishers to embed collages and slideshows onto their websites based on search results.
But on Thursday Getty Images filed a lawsuit in New York alleging that the "beautiful, configurable image galleries and slideshows" contained copyrighted images.
It demanded that the widget be removed and asked for unspecified damages.
By Monday, Microsoft had an announcement on its Bing website saying the feature – which was still in beta testing – had been "temporarily removed".
The company said: "As a copyright owner ourselves we think the laws in this area are important.
"We'll take a close look at Getty's concerns."
The tool was launched late last month and markets to website publishers as a way to enhance how their sites look.
Legal papers filed by Getty said: "Rather than draw from a licensed collection of images, defendant gathers these images by crawling as much of the Internet as it can, copying and indexing every image it finds, without regard to the copyright status of the images and without permission from copyright owners like plaintiff." ||||| Following a lawsuit from Getty Images, Microsoft has temporarily removed the beta of the Bing Image Widget, which lets publishers embed collages and slideshows of images from search results on their Web sites.
On Thursday, Getty Images filed a copyright complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against Microsoft, in which it alleged that the “beautiful, configurable image galleries and slideshows” typically consist of copyrighted images, including images whose copyrights are owned or controlled by Getty.
The court ordered Microsoft on Friday to show-cause by Sept. 17 as to why an order should not be issued, enjoining it from using, offering, or otherwise supporting the Bing Image Widget or comparable technology used to display images, during the action, unless it has an express license for such use by the copyright owners.
Microsoft’s Bing now says on its website that “ We have temporarily removed the beta.” Microsoft could not be immediately reached for comment, but the company is quoted by various reports as stating that it had temporarily removed the Bing Image Widget beta so it “can take time to talk with Getty Images and better understand its concerns.”
Microsoft launched the widget in late August and markets it to website publishers as a tool for enhancing the visual quality of their websites, according to Getty’s complaint. “Rather than draw from a licensed collection of images, Defendant gathers these images by crawling as much of the Internet as it can, copying and indexing every image it finds, without regard to the copyright status of the images and without permission from copyright owners like Plaintiff,” it added. |||||
Output: | A photo widget on Microsoft's Bing service has led to a lawsuit claiming "massive infringement" on copyright. Microsoft has removed the offending tool, which allowed users to post photos and slideshows onto their websites, Sky News reports. The images, collected via Bing, came from all over the Internet—and Getty Images' lawsuit is charging that many of them were copyrighted, Reuters reports.

New York (CNN) -- Three defendants pleaded guilty in federal court Wednesday to conspiring to defraud a Holocaust reparations organization out of $57.3 million, according to court documents. Genrikh Kolontyrskiy, Moysey Kucher and Dora Kucher, all of Brooklyn, helped produce and process some of the thousands of fraudulent applications for the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany that are under investigation. The organization, also known as the Claims Conference, distributes more than $400 million a year from funds provided by the German government to victims of the Holocaust. "Our efforts to hold to account all of the individuals who participated in defrauding an organization that exists solely for the purpose of aiding victims of Nazi atrocities continues," said Preet Bharara, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, in a statement. The defendants aided in defrauding two funds managed by the Claims Conference, the Article 2 Fund and the Hardship Fund, of $45 million and $12.3 million, respectively, according to court documents. The Article 2 Fund makes monthly payments of around $400 to survivors of Nazi persecution who make less than $16,000 per year "and either lived in hiding or under a false identity for at least 18 months," according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney's office. The Hardship Fund pays a one-time payment of $3,500 to "victims of Nazi persecution who evacuated the cities in which they lived and were forced to become refugees." Kolontyrskiy, 80, knowingly processed fraudulent applications for payment while employed with the Article 2 Fund, according to court documents. Moysey Kucher, 66, and Dora Kucher, 58, recruited individuals to provide identification documents that were used to prepare fraudulent applications for both funds, in exchange for money paid out to the false applicants, according to court documents. Jesse Siegel, Kolontyrskiy's attorney, said his client was by no means a major instigator, but he takes responsibility for his actions. <sep>When Genrikh Kolontyrskiy, Moysey Kucher and Dora Kucher submitted applications fraudulently, what two organizations did their money come from?<sep>Claims Conference and the Holocaust reparations organization | No |
Arachis monticola is a close relative of the domesticated peanut ("Arachis hypogaea"). Besides the peanut, it is the only other tetraploid species in the genus "Arachis". It is thought to be the immediate wild ancestor of peanut, although it may be a weedy form, descended from cultivated peanuts.
Can we infer the following?
Cultivated peanuts have created other forms of peanuts that are sometimes more weedy.

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.
Input: Consider Input: Cell membrane -- The cell membrane (also known as the plasma membrane or cytoplasmic membrane, and historically referred to as the plasmalemma) is a biological membrane that separates the interior of all cells from the outside environment (the extracellular space). It consists of a lipid bilayer with embedded proteins. The basic function of the cell membrane is to protect the cell from its surroundings. The cell membrane controls the movement of substances in and out of cells and organelles. In this way, it is selectively permeable to ions and organic molecules. In addition, cell membranes are involved in a variety of cellular processes such as cell adhesion, ion conductivity and cell signalling and serve as the attachment surface for several extracellular structures, including the cell wall, the carbohydrate layer called the glycocalyx, and the intracellular network of protein fibers called the cytoskeleton. In the field of synthetic biology, cell membranes can be artificially reassembled.
Output: is the cell membrane inside the cell wall
Input: Consider Input: Free throw -- Free throws can normally be shot at a high percentage by good players. In the NBA, most players make 70--80% of their attempts. The league's best shooters (such as Steve Nash, Rick Barry, Ray Allen, José Calderón, Stephen Curry, Reggie Miller, Kevin Durant, and Dirk Nowitzki) can make roughly 90% of their attempts over a season, while notoriously poor shooters (e.g. Dwight Howard, DeAndre Jordan, Wilt Chamberlain, Andre Drummond, Andris Biedrins, Chris Dudley, Ben Wallace, Shaquille O'Neal, and Dennis Rodman) may struggle to make 50% of them. During a foul shot, a player's foot must be completely behind the foul line. If a player lines up with part of his or her foot on the line, a violation is called and the shot does not count. Foul shots are worth one point.
Output: can you hit the backboard on a free throw
Input: Consider Input: K2 -- K2 (Urdu: کے ٹو), also known as Mount Godwin-Austen or Chhogori (Balti and Urdu: چھوغوری), at 8,611 metres (28,251 ft) above sea level, is the second highest mountain in the world, after Mount Everest at 8,848 metres (29,029 ft). It is located on the China--Pakistan border between Baltistan in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of northern Pakistan, and the Taxkorgan Tajik Autonomous County of Xinjiang, China. K2 is the highest point of the Karakoram range and the highest point in both Pakistan and Xinjiang.
| Output: is k2 the highest mountain in the world

Who lost their majority in parliament?, Context: The 1923 general election was fought on the Conservatives' protectionist proposals but, although they got the most votes and remained the largest party, they lost their majority in parliament, necessitating the formation of a government supporting free trade. Thus, with the acquiescence of Asquith's Liberals, Ramsay MacDonald became the first ever Labour Prime Minister in January 1924, forming the first Labour government, despite Labour only having 191 MPs (less than a third of the House of Commons).
| Conservatives |

Q: The delivery of a no-ball results in one run -- two under some regulations -- to be added to the batting team's score, and an additional ball must be bowled. In addition, the number of ways in which the batsman can be given out is reduced to three. In shorter competition cricket, a batsman receives a 'free hit' on the ball after any kind of no-ball (see below). This means the batsman can freely hit one ball with no danger of being out in most ways.
A: can a batsman be out on a no ball?

Sometimes a full Moon moves through Earths shadow. This is a lunar eclipse . During a total lunar eclipse, the Moon travels completely in Earths umbra. During a partial lunar eclipse, only a portion of the Moon enters Earths umbra. When the Moon passes through Earths penumbra, it is a penumbral eclipse. Since Earths shadow is large, a lunar eclipse lasts for hours. Anyone with a view of the Moon can see a lunar eclipse. So unlike a solar eclipse, it doesnt get dark on Earth. Instead it gets dark on the Moon. Partial lunar eclipses occur at least twice a year, but total lunar eclipses are less common. The Moon glows with a dull red coloring during a total lunar eclipse. <sep>What is the difference between a lunar eclipse and a penumbral eclipse?<sep>A penumbral eclipse is when the moon passes through the earth's umbra | No |
Indonesia is a dangerous country to call home. It lies above several active plates with many fire-breathing volcanoes around. The eruption of a volcano and the shaking of an earthquake this week is just one reminder of Indonesia's burning base. Indonesia, consisting of 17,500 islands, sits between the world's most active region, the Pacific Ring of Fire, and the world's second most active region, the Alpide belt. Being situated between them means the islands experience some of the strongest earthquakes and most powerful volcanic eruptions known on Earth. The Pacific Ring of Fire is the world's greatest earthquake belt according to U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), because of its series of fault lines covering about 25,000 miles from Chile through Japan and Southeast Asia. Earthquakes usually occur along faults, which are breaks in the rocky plates. About 90 percent of all the world's earthquakes, and 80 percent of the world's largest earthquakes, strike along the Pacific Ring of Fire. About 17 percent of the world's largest earthquakes and 5-6 percent of all quakes occur alone the Alpide belt. In 2009 alone Indonesia had 10 earthquakes greater than magnitude 6.0, according to the USGS. Monday's 7.7-magnitude earthquake that caused a 3-meter-high tsunami, killing at least 113 people, occurred when the Australian and Sunda plates struck into each other. One rocky plate took a dive below the other, resulting in an earthquake The 9.1-mangitdue 2004 quake and Indian Ocean tsunami killed about 230,000 people in quite a few countries. Below Indonesia, the Eurasian Plate, Australian Plate, Sunda Plate and Pacific Plate meet together. Which of the following is TRUE of Indonesia? A) It covers 17,500 islands B) It's about 25,000 miles long C) It's in the center of the Alpide D) It's far from the Pacific Ring of Fire

Q: It may be one of Britain's most successful exports - Miss World. This 53-year-old event took place in China last week and attracted over 120 women worldwide with knockout looks in a mad struggle for the crown. Traditional values have long kept the Chinese, especially women, from displaying beauty. But Chinese people have now changed their attitude toward beauty contest, although some men will still be shouting that the winner is no more beautiful than his wife or his former girl friend or even his mother in a sour tone. But such men are not shouting for the right reason. The question to be asked is : Why isn't there a Mr. World Beauty Contest? And a further question to be asked is: Does taking part in a beauty contest show a woman's courage, wisdom and liberation or rather the opposite - a forced choice and a revolting act made under conditions of long-term discrimination? Organizers of such beauty contests claim that the contestants are judged on qualities other than just their physical appearance. But still no answer is given to why there isn't a Mr. Beauty or a Mr. World Contest? Or at least, why isn't that kind of contest popular? Why is it that only women's "qualities" need to be recognized but not men's? Think about who is always standing beside a fancy car on show? Is it a boy or a girl? And this is how "qualities" are judged: if the girl looks good, there is little reason why the car beside her is not of high quality. The beauty contests go on year after year, with winners enjoying fame which quickly disappears. While such events go on and on, what never changes is the routine practice that in every fancy car show, a girl stands beside a fancy car. What never changes is the need to hold a women's conference every year to appeal for the promotion of respect for and improvement of women. What never changes is the fate of women as a class. So let's put more time and resources into trying to change all this rather than holding beauty contests. The best title for this passage is _ . A) What about a Mr. World Contest? B) History of Miss World Contest. C) Quality or Appearance? D) A Boy Standing beside a Fancy Car.
A: A

Reseachers at the University of Kansas say that people can accurately juage 90 percent of a stranger's personality simply by looking at the person's shoes."Shoes convey useful information about their wearers,''the authors wrote in the new study published in the Journal of Research in Personality. Lead researcher Omri Gillath said the judgments were based on the style,cost,color and condition of someone's shoes.In the study,63 University of Kansas researchers looked at pictures showing 208 different pairs of shoes worn by the study's participants.Volunteers in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes,and then filled out a personality questionnaire. Some of the results were expected:People with higher incomes most commonly wore expensive shoes,and flashier shoes were typically worn by outgoing people.However,some of the more specific results are strange enough.For example,"practical and functional'' shoes were generally worn by more "pleasant" people,while ankle boots were more linked with ''aggressive'' personalities.The strangest of all may be that those who wore' 'uncomfortable looking" shoes tend to have "calm" personalities.And if you have several pairs of new shoes or take extreme care of them,you may suffer from "attachment anxiety",spending lots of time worrying about what other people think of your appearance.There was even a political calculation in the mix with more liberal types wearing "shabbier and less expensive" shoes. The researchers noted that some people will choose shoe styles to mask their actual personalities,but researchers noted that volunteers were also likely to be unaware that their footwear choices were showing the deep side of their personalities. The author wrote the text in order to A) inform us of a new study B) introduce a research method C) teach how to choose shoes D) describe different personalitie

[Q]: Clarifying the Record The defense of U.S. airspace on 9/11 was not conducted in accord with preexisting training and protocols. It was improvised by civilians who had never handled a hijacked aircraft that attempted to disappear, and by a military unprepared for the transformation of commercial aircraft into weapons of mass destruction. As it turned out, the NEADS air defenders had nine minutes' notice on the first hijacked plane, no advance notice on the second, no advance notice on the third, and no advance notice on the fourth. We do not believe that the true picture of that morning reflects discredit on the operational personnel at NEADS or FAA facilities. NEADS commanders and officers actively sought out information, and made the best judgments they could on the basis of what they knew. Individual FAA controllers, facility managers, and Command Center managers thought outside the box in recommending a nationwide alert, in ground-stopping local traffic, and, ultimately, in deciding to land all aircraft and executing that unprecedented order flawlessly. More than the actual events, inaccurate government accounts of those events made it appear that the military was notified in time to respond to two of the hijackings, raising questions about the adequacy of the response. Those accounts had the effect of deflecting questions about the military's capacity to obtain timely and accurate information from its own sources. In addition, they overstated the FAA's ability to provide the military with timely and useful information that morning. In public testimony before this Commission in May 2003, NORAD officials stated that at 9:16, NEADS received hijack notification of United 93 from the FAA. This statement was incorrect. There was no hijack to report at 9:16. United 93 was proceeding normally at that time. In this same public testimony, NORAD officials stated that at 9:24, NEADS received notification of the hijacking of American 77. This statement was also incorrect. The notice NEADS received at 9:24 was that American 11 had not hit the World Trade Center and was heading for Washington, D.C. In their testimony and in other public accounts, NORAD officials also stated that the Langley fighters were scrambled to respond to the notifications about American 77,178 United 93, or both. These statements were incorrect as well. The fighters were scrambled because of the report that American 11 was heading south, as is clear not just from taped conversations at NEADS but also from taped conversations at FAA centers; contemporaneous logs compiled at NEADS, Continental Region headquarters, and NORAD; and other records. <sep>Who handled the U.S. air defense on 9/11?<sep>9

[Q]: Captured Moments by Will Shetterly I remember Papa's stopbox, a teal blue Tiempo Capturado that Mama brought home for his birthday. It was huge and inefficient, and she should never have spent so many pesos on a toy, but Papa would not let her return it. He used it to preserve baby tomatoes, cucumbers, and strawberries in translucent cubes that he stored in the pantry for spring-time meals in the middle of winter. Mama kept her mink jacket, a family hand-me-down, safe from time in a stopbox, and lent the capturador to my uncle for his stamp collection. Sometimes they would let us little ones to seal a treasured toy or a last piece of birthday cake until we begged them for its release, usually a few hours after enclosing it. When my father died, a year after my mother, my sisters and I cleaned out their apartment. We found our baby shoes protected in stopboxes. I took mine home, where they sat above my computer while I worked on my first play. One night when I did not believe love had ever existed for anyone, I used my own capturador, a sleek titanium Sanyo Tardar Ahora, to undo the stopbox. Bringing my face close to the shoes, I breathed deeply of air that my parents had trapped while closing up that symbol of their love for me. The instant would have been improved had my baby shoes been cleaned before they were encased. But as soon as I coughed, I laughed, and I did not try to kill myself that night. <sep>Father died how many years after mother?<sep>Immediately

[Q]: The city of Edinburgh grew up around the steep, ragged cliff of the Castle Rock and its easily defended summit. Archaeological excavations have revealed evidence of habitation here as long ago as 900 b.c. Very little, however, is known about the Rock and its inhabitants in the centuries between its first occupation and the time of the MacAlpin kings. A few shadowy details have been left to us by the Romans and by an epic poem from the seventh century. Romans and Britons The Romans invaded Scotland in a.d. 78–84, where they met a fierce group called the Picts, whom they drove north. They consolidated their gains by building Antonine's Wall across the waist of Scotland between the Firth of Forth and the River Clyde in about a.d. Roman legions encountered the strongholds of the Castle Rock and Arthur's Seat, held by a tribe of ancient Britons known as the Votadini. Little is recorded about this group, but they were probably the ancestors of the Gododdin, whose feats are told in a seventh-century Old Welsh manuscript. The capital of the Gododdin was Din Eidyn (the "Fort of Eidyn," almost certainly the Castle Rock), whose name lives on in the Edin- of Edinburgh. Din Eidyn fell to the Angles in 638 and became part of the Anglian kingdom of Northumbria. It was the first of many times that the Fort of Eidyn would change hands between the kingdoms of the north and the south. The MacAlpin Kings Four distinct peoples once inhabited the land now known as Scotland: the Picts in the north, the Britons in the southwest, the invading Angles in the southeast, and the Scots in the west. The Scots were Gaelic-speaking immigrants from the north of Ireland. Kenneth MacAlpin, who ruled as king of Scots at Dunadd, acquired the Pictish throne in 843, uniting Scotland north of the River Forth into a single kingdom. He moved his capital — along with the Stone of Destiny (on which Scottish kings were crowned) — to the sacred Pict site of Scone, close to Perth. His great-great-great-grandson, Malcolm II (1005–1034), defeated the Angles at the Battle of Carham in 1018 and extended Scottish territory as far south as the River Tweed. <sep>At the time what is now know as Scotland was inhabited by four distinct peoples, where did the people come from who were living in the western part?<sep>They came from the north of Ireland

Scientists whose capture of the 'God particle' hit the headlines three years ago have obtained a new and much sharper picture of their trophy. Data from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world's biggest atom smasher, have greatly increased what physicists know about the Higgs boson, which is responsible for giving other elementary particles mass. The results show with a new level of precision the way the particle is generated and decays, and how it interacts with other particles. CERN's Large Hadron Collider, located in a 27-kilometer (16.8-mile) tunnel beneath the Swiss-French border, was instrumental in the discovery of the Higgs boson. The subatomic particle had long been theorized but wasn't confirmed until 2013.Results show how particle is generated and decaysAlso reveals how it interacts with other particles

Smart home applications can share all kinds of helpful information with homeowners. There appears a new housing platform which can detect the stress on electricity -- and the stress on the heart. "There is a growing population of elderly people, and there are statistics to show that more and more of them are going to live alone in the home," said Johann Siau, a senior lecturer at the University of Hertfordshire in the U.K., who was leading the InterHome project. The system was originally designed to provide remote access to a house so owners could be more energy-efficient. In a small type of the system, set-in controller devices connect securely to the Internet. The owner can then monitor them with a cell phone or computer. User feedback helps the system adapt to routines, saving on electricity. While thinking about responding to user behavior and an increasingly elderly population, the researchers decided to add wristband technology that senses important organs of the body such as body temperature and pulse, Siau said. "If someone were to fall, it would detect the fall and it would immediately start the monitor of the pulse to see if the person has gone into shock ," he said. The wristband communicates with the home system wirelessly. Data from the band can be securely transmitted to the home network and accessed by authorized users. "We're working on trying to reduce it to a level where it could potentially be a wrist-sized product," Siau said. But he warned that the technology presented new challenges. "When you start using that on a larger scale, you have issues of privacy or security," he said. Siau said the InterHome home system isn't intended to invade privacy. "We're thinking about the elderly people who are living alone with no one looking after them," he said. "Hopefully this will be able to decrease some concerns and possibly save a few lives." The system was first designed for a house owner to _ . A) keep watch on his house B) keep his house safe C) monitor the elderly people inside D) save electricity

As a public school superintendent , I believe the best way to prepare students for colleges and careers is to focus on providing instructional programs and opportunities that help them become good thinkers. To do this, teachers and actually everyone else in a community, should play a role as a "cognitive coach" to students, helping develop good thinkers among our youth. The best way for you to become a cognitive coach is to seek out and engage school children and adolescents in meaningful conversations. The objective here is to get kids talking about what they think, how they feel, and what they believe whenever and wherever you may find them. It may be in a classroom. It may be at the grocery store. It may be at a basketball game. It doesn't matter where as long as you engage students in a topical conversation and, hopefully, even a debate. Mainly, you want to encourage students to voice their opinion about things. Get them to take a position on "this thing, or that thing," and ask them to support their position with evidence. Curiously enough, the simple process of engaging students in real life conversations and debates will serve to strengthen what they have learned in the classroom, and help them create their own knowledge about a subject or a topic. Learning indicates that a student has been exposed to material, understands the material, and can recall the information. Knowledge, on the other hand, goes beyond recall and includes information processing, application to other situations, consideration of meaning, and contrasting with other concepts. Naturally, the topic of conversation you engage in with one of your learners will differ from student to student, and in the level of complexity based on child's age and developmental level. Even a kindergartener has an opinion about things that are going on in his or her life. Engaging in conversation with any members of your learning community in ways that get at what they have learned and what they know will help them develop higher order reasoning... What is the main purpose of the passage? A) To state an education idea. B) To assess a teaching strategy. C) To introduce a learning method. D) To compare different education methods.

Once you get a chance to talk to West Palm Beach, Florida native Whitney Cunningham, who placed seventh on the eighth cycle of the popular reality TV series America's Next Top Model, you begin to understand what host Tyra Banks meant when she described her as the "full package." First of all, she is confident and headstrong, which is a must on these kinds of shows, almost as much as it is to take a beautiful modelesque picture. Second, she turns that confidence into drive. She has been receiving steady work as a model since leaving the show, and still believes that her goal of being the first woman to wear a size ten dress on the cover of Vogue is in reach. Third, and probably most important to television viewers, she obliterates the age-old model stereotype that to be pretty and photograph well, one must also be vapid and without a thought.
Is this true?

Q: Unfortunately, because the zooming is rather fast, it is easy to miss the rest of the sentence, so as you correctly note, some viewers got an incorrect impression. It would have been fair for Moore to point out this possible misinterpretation on his website. However, the claim of deliberate distortion is ludicrous for several reasons: a) Moore clearly states that "before he came to Flint", Heston gave an interview. In the excerpt from said interview, we can see that it is from March. If Moore wanted to deceive his viewers, why would he say this, and show the month the interview was published? b) Why should Moore leave the words "Clinton is on the Today Show" visible in the text, which is necessary to correctly interpret the highlighted part? I reviewed the sequence several times and it is perfectly possible to see this text without pausing. c) Both the "soccer mom" interview and the sequences showing the NRA rally make no effort to distort the fact that this rally happened months after the fact. The camera lingers on Bush/Cheney posters, and the protestor is quoted as saying that "we wanted to let the NRA know that we haven't forgotten about Kayla Rolland". You make the hysterical claim that the interview "may be faked" (on the basis that no name is shown for the interviewee), but if Moore had faked it, why the hell should he put this sentence in the protestor's mouth, which directly contradicts the conclusion that the rally happened hours after Kayla's death? Why did Moore, the masterful deveiver, not edit this sequence out? This makes no sense. Opinions may vary on how tasteless it was for Heston to hold a pro gun rally on the location of the nation's youngest school shooting months after the fact, but this sequence of "Bowling" is without doubt the most unfair to Heston. The claims of deliberate distortion don't hold up when viewing the whole scene, though -- as "Hanlon's Razor" states, one should never attribute to malice what can be attributed to incompetence. The somewhat inept editing of the NRA press release has led some viewers to wrong conclusions, which is unfortunate, but Moore's critics have no interest in viewing the matter fairly. Had they done so, Moore himself would probably have apologized for the gaffe. In any case, at no point does Moore make a false statement, in contradiction to claims by critics that his documentary is "full of lies". <sep>What interview may have been faked?<sep>The moore interview

Example Input: President Barack Obama gave Pope Francis a box of seeds as a gift, a fitting token as their first-ever meeting provided a fresh start of sorts between the administration and Catholic leadership after years of strained relations. "These, I think, are carrots," Obama told the Pontiff, showing him a pouch from the box, which was made from timber from the first cathedral to open in the United States, in Baltimore. The Pope gave the President two medallions -- one symbolizing the need for peace and solidarity between the two hemispheres -- and a copy of "Evangelii Gaudium," or "The Joy of the Gospel." The book was penned by the Pope and calls for a new era of evangelization and a renewed focus on the poor.The meeting is called a step toward smoothing tensions with CatholicsAbortion and Obamacare mandates on contraception are areas of disagreementOne place for common ground: the plight of immigrants and the poorPope Francis' popularity could give President Obama a small bump in the polls

Instructions: In this task you will be given an answer to a question. You need to generate a question. The answer given should be a correct answer for the generated question.
Input: Aspirin should not be taken by people who are allergic to ibuprofen or naproxen, or who have salicylate intolerance or a more generalized drug intolerance to NSAIDs, and caution should be exercised in those with asthma or NSAID-precipitated bronchospasm. Owing to its effect on the stomach lining, manufacturers recommend people with peptic ulcers, mild diabetes, or gastritis seek medical advice before using aspirin. Even if none of these conditions is present, the risk of stomach bleeding is still increased when aspirin is taken with alcohol or warfarin. People with hemophilia or other bleeding tendencies should not take aspirin or other salicylates. Aspirin is known to cause hemolytic anemia in people who have the genetic disease glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, particularly in large doses and depending on the severity of the disease. Use of aspirin during dengue fever is not recommended owing to increased bleeding tendency. People with kidney disease, hyperuricemia, or gout should not take aspirin because it inhibits the kidneys' ability to excrete uric acid, thus may exacerbate these conditions. Aspirin should not be given to children or adolescents to control cold or influenza symptoms, as this has been linked with Reye's syndrome.
Output: | when might the administration of aspirin be contraindicated |

Critics say that is not nearly enough compared with other prescribers, such as M.D. psychiatrists or nurse practitioners who have at least six years' medical education and clinical experience. Neither Davison nor most other RxP opponents doubt the efficacy of medications. Their greatest objection is to the notion of turning psychology into a prescribing profession. In a field that has struggled long and hard to prove that mind, mood and behavior can be studied empirically, the past decade, Davison says, has seen "exciting developments" that demonstrate the validity of various psychotherapeutic interventions and the psychosocial-behavioral models on which they are based. "The timing is peculiar to abandon psychological science or to convert it to a medical science," explains Elaine M. Heiby of the University of Hawaii, who chairs a committee of the 1,000-member American Association of Applied and Preventive Psychology that is concerned about the medicalization of psychology. "Making sure that practicing psychologists are giving patients interventions based on the best available psychological science should be the APA's priority," argues Emory University's Scott Lilienfeld, president of the Society for a Science of Clinical Psychology (SSCP). More than any philosophical betrayal of psychology, RxP opponents fear that the movement will undermine the science they love. They believe that if prescriptive authority becomes the norm, biomedical requirements will inevitably seep into the psychology curriculum, at the expense of traditional psychological science and methodology. Lilienfeld feels that many clinical psychologists already receive inadequate training in fundamentals such as research design and evaluation. RxP opponents charge the APA with pushing its prescription-privileges agenda without adequately assessing support for it in the field. The 300-member SSCP is the only group within the APA to have taken a formal stance against prescription privileges. The APA has scheduled 30 minutes at its meeting in August for an RxP debate, but its leadership believes it already has an accurate sense of support for its RxP policy. "Except for this small vocal minority, we have just not gotten a lot of groundswell against this from members," says APA president Philip G. Zimbardo of Stanford University. With prescription privileges now a reality in one state, some RxP opponents concede that it may be too late. This year four states besides New Mexico -- Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois and Tennessee -- have pending legislation for psychologist prescription privileges. Over the past decade, 14 state legislatures have considered such laws. Between 1991 and 1997, a U.S. Department of Defense psychopharmacology demonstration project involving two to four years' training produced 10 military psychologists who can write prescriptions. <sep>What is the greatest objection of RxP opponents?<sep>The notion of turning psychology into a prescription profession | Yes |

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) — The San Francisco Police Department is investigating the death of a 2-year-old boy from Utah, after a statue fell on him outside a store on Fisherman’s Wharf Friday afternoon. City officials said they have warned the business about safety issues before.
When Fisherman’s Wharf gets busy, the sidewalks fill up pretty fast. So, police require businesses to keep their merchandise behind a blue line in front of their stores. But on Friday, the Majestic Gallery crossed that line, and it led to tragedy.
“The police and fire department responded to a call for a young child, one or two years old, had a statue fall on him,” Officer Gordon Shyy of the San Francisco Police Department told KPIX 5.
Kayson Shelton was visiting with his family from Utah when he tried climbing one of the store’s bronze dolphin statues that police said was out on the sidewalk. The heavy sculpture fell onto Kayson.
At first he seemed okay, but he had internal injuries and later died at the hospital. Police cited Majestic Gallery, saying they have been warned in the past.
“The San Francisco Police Department officers that were working the America’s Cup had asked this business to move their dolphins back across on the other side of the blue line because of the high volume of pedestrian traffic,” Shyy said.
Wharf vendors said they understand the rules but question whether Kayson’s parents had left the boy and his siblings unattended.
“They were trying to climb onto a statue and it fell. So if it was inside the store or outside, at that point it doesn’t matter, I mean, the child was unwatched and unfortunately he lost his life,” said Fisherman’s Wharf vendor John Terry.
But the businesses rely on walk-up traffic, and one vendor showed how empty her store has become since they moved everything off the sidewalks.
“Already no business, looks like winter time, it’s not summertime now. It’s no good because the people don’t want to go inside the stores,” said a vendor, who did not want to give her name.
Police said the blue line is there for a reason and, after this tragedy, they will be less likely to excuse businesses that try to step over it.
Majestic Collection sent a short statement to KPIX 5 Monday:
This is an unfortunate and tragic incident. Majestic Collection is and has been co-operating with all investigative agencies. Our hearts and prayers are with the family.
An online fundraising website has been set up for Kayson’s family to help with funeral expenses and other costs.
As of Monday afternoon, more than $7,100 had been raised toward a $10,000 goal.
Donations can be made online to his parents Toni and Scott Shelton at http://www.youcaring.com/memorial-fundraiser/kayson-shelton/188172.

Police say Kayson Shelton climbed up on a large, heavy dolphin statue, causing it to tip over on him, reports the San Francisco Chronicle. His 6-year-old sister tried to stop the fall, but the bronze statue was too heavy. At first, the boy did not appear seriously hurt, but he had sustained serious internal injuries and was pronounced dead in San Francisco General Hospital four hours after the incident. Police investigating his death believe the dolphin was on the wrong side of a blue line in place to keep the busy sidewalks clear. Officers "had asked this business to move their dolphins back across on the other side of the blue line because of the high volume of pedestrian traffic," a police spokesman tells CBS5. Kayson's family has now returned to Utah. "The last words he spoke in this life were 'I love you,'" the family says on a website set up to help them with funeral expenses.

Q: Scientists have made two major discoveries in the search for other Earth-like planets. British astronomers say they have discovered the smallest known Earth-like exoplanet orbiting a living star called Gliese 581 e and also discovered that a nearby planet called Gliese 581 d, discovered in 2007, is in the much sought after 'habitable zone'. Astronomers also believe there is a possibility that 581 d could have liquid oceans on its surface, calling the find "extraordinary." "The Holy Grail of current exoplanet research is the detection of a rocky, Earth-like planet in the 'habitable zone'," said astrophysicist at Switzerland's Geneva University, Michel Mayor. Astronomers say 581 e is 20.5 light years away from Earth and that it's roughly 1.9 times larger than Earth, making it the smallest exoplanet discovered to date. It was found using the High Accuracy Radial Velocity Planet Searcher (HARPS).

Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: Good Samaritan law -- Good Samaritan laws offer legal protection to people who give reasonable assistance to those who are, or who they believe to be, injured, ill, in peril, or otherwise incapacitated. The protection is intended to reduce bystanders' hesitation to assist, for fear of being sued or prosecuted for unintentional injury or wrongful death. An example of such a law in common-law areas of Canada: a good Samaritan doctrine is a legal principle that prevents a rescuer who has voluntarily helped a victim in distress from being successfully sued for wrongdoing. Its purpose is to keep people from being reluctant to help a stranger in need for fear of legal repercussions should they make some mistake in treatment. By contrast, a duty to rescue law requires people to offer assistance and holds those who fail to do so liable.

Q: The four women stood on the same brick sidewalk Friday night outside the Modell Center for the Performing Arts. All four identified themselves as survivors of sexual assault. But in every other way that mattered, they were miles apart.
Two of the women carried signs and a megaphone and said they were there on behalf of the dozens of women who say they were sexually abused by Bill Cosby between 1965 and 2008. Julia Griffin, 19, of Towson, and Sonja Kinzer, 46, of Glen Arm, said they want to make sure that Cosby never performs his standup act in Baltimore again.
The other two — Zeanyanna Johnson, 51, and Ruth Flowers, 82 — came out in support of the entertainer, who denies the accusations and who has not been charged with a crime.
"I have been sexually assaulted," said Johnson, who lives in Baltimore. "I know what it feels like. But the man hasn't been charged with a crime, and the man hasn't gone to court. The Bible says, 'Judge not, lest you be judged.'"
The disagreement between protesters and patrons started outside the venue at 140 W. Mount Royal Ave., as has become common on what Cosby has called his Far From Finished Tour. Both sides traded barbs as the ticket buyers made their way past about 15 picketers. The protest was organized by the advocacy group SlutWalk Baltimore.
Despite allegations that he drugged and raped dozens of women, embattled entertainer Bill Cosby brought his live show to Baltimore Friday night. Derek Valcourt was there. Despite allegations that he drugged and raped dozens of women, embattled entertainer Bill Cosby brought his live show to Baltimore Friday night. Derek Valcourt was there. SEE MORE VIDEOS
But during the Baltimore show, the disagreement spilled over into the performance itself.
About 10 minutes into Cosby's set, and in the middle of an anecdote about grammar, a man stood up in the middle of the balcony of the half-full auditorium and shouted: "Thirty-eight women spoke up and called you a rapist. Thirty-eight women!"
Throughout the hall, customers who were angry that the comedy act was being disrupted began to yell, "Shut up!" One called out, "I love you, Bill!."
As Cosby's heckler demanded a response, Cosby called for his fans to remain quiet.
"I am going to handle this the way I want it handled," he said, his voice reflecting no apparent unease.
"We're going to remain calm. We don't need to yell and argue. We're going to let the person talk until the usher finds him and politely and quietly gets him to leave."
Five minutes later, the protester was escorted out, and Cosby continued his routine, though some of his comic bits might have become colored with unintentional overtones.
For instance, Cosby talked about being 3 years old and stealing a quarter from the collection plate at church. It was his first understanding of what it meant to sin.
He told the crowd that he vastly preferred Jesus Christ to his less-forgiving father.
"Jesus would give you a little wiggle room," Cosby said.
"If you did something wrong, he'd say, 'OK, don't do it again.' "
Anecdotes like that that left Kinzer feeling bewildered, she said. How, she asked, could anyone hear that and not be offended?
"These people know these women were victimized, and they couldn't care less," she said. "They should be ashamed of themselves."
But Johnson and Flowers didn't see it that way. They're bothered that the women waited for decades, in some instances, before coming public with their accusations.
"Why didn't they come forward at the time?" Johnson asked. "What I say is: Show me some evidence before you destroy a legend."
[email protected] ||||| Protesters turn out to shame Bill Cosby show goers in Baltimore. Just hours before the show, two more women came forward accusing Cosby of drugging and sexually assaulting them. (Reuters)
BALTIMORE – Not 15 minutes into his show, Bill Cosby found himself being jeered by several protesters in the balcony of the Modell Performing Arts Center. They demanded he respond to the more than two dozen women who have accused him of sexually assaulting them.
Cosby’s fans were quick to shout back. “Shut up!”
Cosby, himself, motioned for quiet by slowly waving his hands toward the stage floor.
“Just remain calm,” he said. “We are here to enjoy my gift. We are not here to argue. Let those people speak. We will find them and ask them to leave.”
Before long, the hecklers were gone and Cosby returned to a routine that’s changed little over time, a masterfully-spun-if-aging monologue on the trials and tribulations of childhood and marriage. He wore what has become his standard concert uniform, the baggy sweat-suit adorned by “HELLO FRIEND.”
The crowd seemed dulled momentarily by the jeers, but warmed as the 77-year-old comedy icon reached for old standbys. Hating his younger brother. Watching the four scoops of his ice cream cone tumble to the street. And drawing scolding looks from his wife, Camille, for such violations as not putting his socks in the hamper.
Despite the material, the evening was anything but routine.
You couldn’t buy a water bottle at the theater. Security worried one might be thrown at the performer. Also, early in the day, two more women held a press conference to accuse Cosby of drugging and sexual assaulting them. The many accounts, which date back years but have been gathering attention since last October, have hampered Cosby’s “Far From Finished” tour. Many dates have been canceled. Other concerts have been a hard sell for a comedian who, until recently, could easily fill two theaters a day.
Officials at the 2,500-seat Modell would not release sales figures Friday, but rows of empty seats lined the balcony. Outside the theater, about 35 protesters gathered with signs before the 8 p.m. show.
“You should be ashamed of yourself,” Sonja Kinzer, a 46-year-old freelance photographer, shouted at ticket-holders as they entered the theater.

“I’m upset with the Lyric and disappointed with people going in,” said Kinzer. “There are a million of other things they could be doing tonight.”
Even patrons admitted this was no normal show.
Adrian Nicholson, a contractor, got the tickets from a friend for free after that friend’s wife got angry about her husband buying a pair of tickets.
“I’m not really a fan,” said Nicholson. “I came more for the notoriety and to see the hoopla. I wanted to see if there was going to be more support or more negativity.”
And then there was Russell Hawkins. The 44-year-old plumber got the tickets for Christmas from his wife, Jessica. She had purchased them earlier in the year, before this wave of accusations.
“I was like, oh s—,” he said, first thinking he’d never want to go.
Then, over the next month, he thought more about Cosby and the entertainment world.
“They all do it,” said Hawkins. “It doesn’t make it right, but it’s the nature of the beast.”
A protester, left, and a ticket holder hold a heated conversation in front of the theater. (Bill O’Leary/The Washington Post)
Cosby’s routine varied little from his show last November in Melbourne, Fla., not long after women began to speak out about what they said was a pattern of sexual assault. Those hoping for some revelatory, public response to the new charges would have been disappointed.
About 35 minutes in, Cosby was somewhere in the early 1940s, a small boy listening to his older, hard-drinking and spare-talking uncle. He got to tales of love and marriage — about childhood birthday parties, about making children do their homework — sometime after 9 p.m. And by 10:12 p.m., he was done, the crowd loose and laughing.
“That was better than I thought it would be,” said Miles Wagner, a 47-year-old plumber who spent much of the show doubled-over or shouting “that’s right” during the tales of domestic life. “No cursing. The storylines are excellent and I can relate to them all.”
Wagner was a rare example of a fan who bought his tickets because of the controversy surrounding Cosby. He had no idea the comedian was coming to town — until he heard about planned protests on the news. He clicked through Ticketmaster Thursday night.
What about the accusations? Wagner doesn’t believe the women. He also didn’t appreciate the protesters disrupting the show.
“I paid my money to go and hear Bill Cosby,” he said. “That was just tacky.” |||||
A: | Bill Cosby is still going at it, with a performance in Baltimore last night following what is by now a typical script: About 10 minutes into the show, a protester stood and shouted, "Thirty-eight women spoke up and called you a rapist. Thirty-eight women!" reports the Baltimore Sun. Cosby fans then shouted their own support in response, as Cosby himself asked people to take it easy until security did its thing. “Just remain calm,” he said, as quoted by the Washington Post. “We are here to enjoy my gift. We are not here to argue. Let those people speak. We will find them and ask them to leave.” Another regular part of the Cosby experience: Show-goers were greeted by protesters outside the venue. The Sun quotes two women at the performance, both of whom say they were victims of sexual assault in their own lives, with opposing views: 'Ashamed': "These people know these women were victimized, and they couldn't care less. They should be ashamed of themselves." No charges: "I know what it feels like. But the man hasn't been charged with a crime, and the man hasn't gone to court. The Bible says, 'Judge not, lest you be judged.'" |

Problem:The amniotic sac, commonly called the bag of waters, sometimes the membranes, is the sac in which the fetus develops in amniotes. It is a thin but tough transparent pair of membranes that hold a developing embryo (and later fetus) until shortly before birth. The inner of these fetal membranes, the amnion, encloses the amniotic cavity, containing the amniotic fluid and the fetus. The outer membrane, the chorion, contains the amnion and is part of the placenta. On the outer side, the amniotic sac is connected to the yolk sac, the allantois and, via the umbilical cord, to the placenta.
Solution: | is the placenta and amniotic sac the same thing? |
