Input: (CNN) Theranos decided to voluntarily withdraw its Zika virus blood test that it had submitted for Food and Drug Administration approval, the company said Wednesday. Theranos founder and CEO Elizabeth Holmes previously told CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta in an exclusive interview that the Zika test, though it's not one that would be as common as a test to check general health, was a priority for the company because it was a "really important area of blood work."

Teacher:You will be given a passage, and your task is to generate a Yes/No question that is answerable based on the given passage.
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: The Toyota RAV4 (Japanese: トヨタ RAV4 (ラヴフォー), Toyota Ravufō) is a compact crossover SUV (sport utility vehicle) produced by the Japanese automobile manufacturer Toyota. This was the first compact crossover SUV; it made its debut in Japan and Europe in 1994, and in North America in 1995. The vehicle was designed for consumers wanting a vehicle that had most of the benefits of SUVs, such as increased cargo room, higher visibility, and the option of full-time four-wheel drive, along with the maneuverability and fuel economy of a compact car. Although not all RAV4s are four-wheel-drive, RAV4 stands for ``Recreational Activity Vehicle: 4-wheel drive'', because the aforementioned equipment is an option in select countries.
Student: | does the toyota rav4 have all wheel drive? |

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Eligibility. To see if you might be eligible for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, visit our pre-screening tool. For households in the 48 Contiguous States and the District of Columbia October 1, 2016 through September 30, 2017. To get SNAP benefits, households must meet certain tests, including resource and income tests: 1 Resources. 2 Income. 3 Deductions. 4 Employment Requirements. 5 Special Rules for Elderly or Disabled. 6 Immigrant Eligibility. In fact, we’re not spending enough on food stamps. The need for food assistance is greater than food stamps can fill, and the benefit amount is too low to allow a family to purchase an adequate, healthy diet. The average monthly food stamp benefit per person is only $133.85, or less than $1.50 per person, per meal. Between 2009-2011 the purchasing power of food stamps declined by about 7%, or $47/month for a family of four, due to inflation in the cost of food. You’ve likely heard stories (and outrage) about people using food stamps to purchase “steak and lobster” as well as cigarettes and alcohol, showing up at the grocery store in a nice car, nice clothes, a nice purse or an iPhone. But the federal government sets the food stamps benefit amount at, on average, roughly $4 a day per person. Yes, someone could save up their monthly allotment to buy some high-priced food items for a special occasion. Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Effective October 2016. Maximum Monthly SNAP Amounts. The chart below shows the maximum dollar amount of SNAP benefits your household can receive each month. This dollar amount is based on the number of people in your household, your income and your expenses. You could receive any amount up to or including these amounts. National Standards for reasonable amounts have been established for five necessary expenses: food, housekeeping supplies, apparel and services, personal care products and services, and miscellaneous. See the SNAP page on Applicants and Recipients for detailed information about eligibility requirements and benefits. The SNAP home page provides access to information on all aspects of the program. fns On average, 45 million people received SNAP benefits each month in fiscal year 2011, which represents a 70 percent increase over the roughly 26 million people (or one of every 11) who received benefits in 2007. The truth is, a $125 per person per month grocery budget may seem like a farce to a household currently spending $300 per person per month, but it’s actually quite achievable. *For households with more than eight people, add $5,408 per additional person. Always check with the appropriate managing agency to ensure the most accurate guidelines. To see if you might be eligible for SNAP benefits, use SNAP's pre-screening tool.

New input: At least, that’s the conclusion I draw from looking at the history of corrections of the S&P 500 Index based on daily data going back to December 30, 1949. Now that major indexes have officially entered correction territory, investors are wondering how long corrections tend to last. Let’s start with the worst-case scenario of a bear market. If a bear market is a move of 20% or more from peak-to-trough and a correction is a move of 10% to just under 20%, then the average bear market is a drop of 31.6% (median of 30.3%). I don’t think this is the start of a bear, though. As long as the future trend remains optimistic, the buying will resume. That leads to an even stronger bull market rally. In other words, a stock market correction can help the stock market catch its breath and hit even higher peaks. Most recessions occur with stock market declines of 30 percent or more. All stock market corrections are different, but some follow patterns. The current pattern looks more like 2011 than 1998, with some significant economic differences. All stock market corrections are different, but some follow patterns. How long do corrections last? Corrections generally last two months or less. They usually end when the price of a stock or a bond 'bottoms out'—for example, some will point to a stock reaching a 52-week low—and investors start buying again. How is a correction different from a bear market or capitulation? The stock market typically has a correction several times a year. For example, between 1983 and 2011, more than half of all quarters had a correction. That averages out to 2.27 per year. A stock market crash is when the 10 percent price drop occurs in just one day. Crashes can lead to a bear market. That's when the market falls another 10 percent, for a total decline of 20 percent or more. A stock market crash can cause a recession. The stock market usually makes up the losses in three months or so. If you sell during the correction, you will probably not buy in time to make up your losses. Corrections are inevitable. Is a correction good for the market? Many investors and analysts look at corrections as a necessary 'evil' to cool off an overheated stock or bond market. This is to prevent a huge sell-off or 'bubble burst,' as what happened with Internet stocks in 2000-2001. Definition: A stock market correction is when the market falls 10 percent from its 52-week high. Wise investors welcome it. A pullback allows the market to consolidate before going toward higher highs. Each of the bull markets in the last 40 years has had a correction. It's a natural part of the market cycle. Corrections can occur in any asset class. A correction is a decline or downward movement of a stock, or a bond, or a commodity or market index. The amount of the decline is at least 10 percent and a true correction exceeds that amount. In short, corrections are price declines that stop an upward trend. Query: how long do stock market corrections last
Solution: | Stock market connections last for 2 months or less. |

Input: What if two children push a swing at the same time? Would the swing go higher? Yes, together their force would be more. It is common for forces to be combined. Most objects on Earth have at least two forces acting on them. Do you know what one of them is? Of course, that force is gravity. How many forces do you have on you right now? Gravity pulls you down toward the center of Earth. Your legs exert a downward force. They hold you up against the pull of gravity. Consider the example in Figure 1.3. A book is resting on a table. Gravity pulls the book downward. It has a force of 20 newtons. At the same time, the table pushes the book upward. Its force is also 20 newtons. The table opposes the pull of gravity.
Does the response "Gravity" correctly answer the question "What pulls you down?"?

Input: In Colombia, the drug-financed guerrillas trying to seize the country and destroy democracy include M-19, which Castro has clearly backed. Robert Merkel, a former U.S. attorney handling drug indictments in Florida, doesn't think for a minute that Castro's much publicized trials of high officials engaged in the drug trade mean he has broken off with the Medellin drug cartel. "If the cartel succeeds in blackmailing the Colombian authorities into negotiations, the cartel will be in control and Fidel can exploit his past relationships with them," he told the Journal's David Asman recently. The struggle against the drug lords in Colombia will be a near thing. This week, the government arrested Jose Abello Silva, said to be the fourth-ranking cartel leader. He will probably be extradited to the U.S. for trial under an extradition treaty President Virgilia Barco has revived. Later, another high-ranking trafficker, Leonidas Vargas, was arrested and 1,000 pounds of dynamite seized. Mr. Barco has refused U.S. troops or advisers but has accepted U.S. military aid. President Bush has agreed to meet within 90 days with Mr. Barco, President Alan Garcia of Peru and President Jaime Paz Zamora of Bolivia to discuss the drug problem. It might not be a bad idea to do that sooner, rather than later. After the Panama fiasco, they will need some reassurance. Certainly, the Colombian press is much in need of that.

Input: In remarks during a ribbon-cutting ceremony here on Wednesday, Gov. George E. Pataki said he expected the facility to generate thousands more jobs in the Hudson Valley area for contractors and suppliers catering to the factory. He praised IBM for being "a critical partner in our economic development efforts" in New York state. In a brief speech, Samuel J. Palmisano, IBM's chief executive, emphasized that it was important to make long-term investments despite the current slump in the technology business. "To play to win in technology, you innovate and you lead," he said. But manufacturing technology products is a costly and cyclical business. In June, IBM announced that it was taking a charge of more than $2 billion against earnings. The largest single reasons for the charge were the cost of getting out of the business of manufacturing hard disks for storage, which it sold to Hitachi, and closing down some of its older semiconductor operations. But Kelly said the demand for advanced chips, like those produced at IBM's facility in Burlington, Vt., is strong. "I need more capacity in that end of the market," he said, "and this is factory is critical to meeting that growing demand." If IBM has miscalculated the demand, it will suffer badly as both the high operating costs and depreciation on the huge capital investment for the East Fishkill factory drag down earnings. But industry analysts said the plant should be insulated from a falloff in one or a few segments of the semiconductor market.
Does the response "California and North Carolina" correctly answer the question "In what two states can you find an IBM manufacturing plant?"?

Input: If you build a campfire, you start with a large stack of sticks and logs. As the fire burns, the stack slowly shrinks. By the end of the evening, all that is left is a small pile of ashes. What happened to the matter that you started with? Was it destroyed by the flames? It may seem that way. What do you think happened? The truth is that the same amount of matter still exists. The wood changed not only to ashes, but also to carbon dioxide, water vapor, and other gases. The gases floated off into the air, leaving behind just the ashes. Although matter was changed, it was not created or destroyed. Because the same amount of matter still exists, we can say that matter is conserved. You may wonder how it can be conserved if something is now missing? Assume you had measured the mass of the wood before you burned it. Assume you had also trapped the gases released by the burning wood and measured their mass and the mass of the ashes. What would you find? The ashes and gases combined have the same mass as the wood you started with. This example illustrates the law of conservation of mass.
Does the response "Law of conservation of mass" correctly answer the question "What can cause wood to change to ashes, carbon dioxide, water vapor, and other gases?"?

Input: E-cigarettes represent a rising public-health risk that threaten to unravel progress made on tobacco by "re-normalizing smoking behavior" and luring a new generation into nicotine addiction, California health officials said Wednesday.
Based on the "toxic" chemicals inhaled — and exhaled — by e-cig users as well as recent spikes in teen vaping rates and the numbers of kids poisoned by e-liquids, California health officials issued a public health advisory, urging the state's residents to avoid or stop using e-cigs.
"As we have done with other important outbreaks or epidemics, we are taking this formal step of warning Californians about the health risks of e-cigarettes," said Dr. Ron Chapman, State Health Officer and director of the California Department of Public Health.
E-cigs, also called "vape pens" and "e-hookahs," contain a liquid solution, commonly called "e-juice," which when heated emits "a toxic aerosol, not a harmless water vapor," Chapman said.

Those e-juices and the aerosol they emit have been found to contain at least 10 chemicals on California's official list of carcinogens, including benzene, a component of gasoline, formaldehyde, lead and nickel, Chapman said. The solutions also are laced with nicotine, the addictive substance that hooks people to cigarettes.
"There are myths and misinformation about e-cigarettes and many people do not know that they pose many of the same health risks as traditional cigarettes and other tobacco products," Chapman said. "The public needs more facts, not more fiction."
Some of that misinformation, Chapman asserted, includes commonly repeated statements that users are breathing in harmless water vapor and that e-cigs will help tobacco smokers quit.
"There's a growing amount of research that confirms that e-cigarettes are not safe and pose serious health risks for users, (to) those exposed second hand to the e-cigarette aerosol — and even (to) those who are merely within reach of e-liquid."
The bottles and and cartridges that contain the liquid for e-cigs have been known to leak and tend not to be equipped with child-resistant caps, creating a potential source of poisoning through ingestion or just through skin contact, according to the advisory.
The number of calls made to California's poison-control centers involving vaping exposures to children increased from seven in 2012 to 154 in 2014, the state reported.
In addition, "e-cigarette use is escalating among teens and young adults" in many states, Chapman added.
The Monitoring the Future survey, which tracks substance-abuse trends among more 40,000 U.S. minors, found the use of e‐cigs among teens has now surpassed the use of traditional cigarettes. In fact, more than twice as many 8th and 10th graders reported in the survey using e‐cigarettes instead traditional cigarettes. ||||| California plans to launch a statewide campaign warning citizens about the health risks of electronic cigarettes.
The campaign, which will include television and radio advertising, follows a report released on Wednesday by California health officials declaring electronic cigarettes a public health risk. The report urged lawmakers to regulate them like traditional cigarettes.

Addressing "vaping" by minors and young adults, the fastest-growing group of users in the state, will be a key focus, California's Department of Public Health said in a 21-page report. E-cigarette use among young adults ages 18 to 29 in California tripled between 2012 and 2013, according to the agency.

"I'm advising Californians, including those who currently use tobacco, to avoid using e-cigarettes," state health officer Dr. Ron Chapman said during a conference call following the document's release. "E-cigarettes … re-normalize smoking behavior and introduce a new generation to nicotine addiction."
Chapman did not provide specifics about the campaign, including its expected cost. In addition to the report, the department issued an advisory recommending healthcare providers do more to educate parents and the public.
"This is just the beginning of getting the word out," he said.
The battery-operated devices, which often look like traditional cigarettes, work by heating and aerosolizing a liquid which may contain nicotine that users then inhale. The vapor does not contain some of the dangerous components of tobacco smoke.
One key question is whether e-cigarettes help smokers quit or simply get more people hooked on nicotine, exposing them to a different set of toxic chemicals. With the health effects not yet comprehensively studied, there is debate over whether vaping devices are in fact a danger.
Citing a number of studies, the state's report concluded that there was "no scientific evidence that e-cigarettes help smokers successfully quit traditional cigarettes or that they reduce their consumption."
Proponents, however, said Wednesday that e-cigarettes can help smokers kick their dangerous tobacco habits and called the state's position "irresponsible."
"It's public health malpractice to tell an adult who is inhaling burning smoke into their lungs on a daily basis that they shouldn't even try to quit smoking [by] using vaping," said Gregory Conley, president of the American Vaping Assn.
Stanton Glantz, a professor of medicine at UC San Francisco's Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education, called the report a "fair reading of the evidence" and said he hoped that Californians would press the health department to reveal when its effort might launch.
"It's true that this is a new area [of research] … but there's a pretty clear picture emerging," he said. "The whole: 'We don't know enough, the research is incomplete, bla bla bla,' that's what the cigarette companies have said since the 1950s."
The report detailed the increase in e-cigarette use among younger Californians.
Asked in 2012 if they had used e-cigarettes in the last 30 days, 2.3% of those between 18 and 29 years of age said they had. A year later, that number had more than tripled to 7.6%. Young adults were three times more likely to use e-cigarettes than people over 30.
Teen vaping in the U.S. also was on the rise, surpassing traditional cigarette use for the first time in 2014.
Nicotine exposure among teens, the report said, is believed to harm brain development. The aerosols emitted by e-cigarettes, including secondhand aerosols, contain at least 10 chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or reproductive harm.
One way companies make e-cigarettes appealing to children, Chapman said, was by offering e-liquid — as the nicotine solution the devices vaporize is sometimes called — in flavors like chocolate, gummy bear and bubble gum. That could make youngsters want to use e-cigarettes or ingest the liquid.
Poisonings among children age 5 and under linked to e-cigarettes grew from seven in 2012 to 154 in 2014, the health department report stated.
Amid the debate over the risks or benefits of electronic cigarettes, local and federal officials have put some regulations in place.
Los Angeles in 2013 adopted rules controlling the sale and use of e-cigarettes. At least one state legislator is pushing a bill that would ban vaping in locations where tobacco is prohibited, although similar attempts to regulate e-cigarettes statewide previously failed.
In April 2014, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration proposed rules for regulating the product; those still are under review.

Output: | A big setback for e-cigarettes in America's most populous state: Health authorities in California have declared the devices to be a health risk and urged residents to stop using them, reports NBC. The state, which warns that rising e-cigarette use is introducing a "new generation to nicotine addiction" and notes there were more than 150 reports of children under five being poisoned by "e-juice" last year, plans an advertising campaign to combat use of the devices, the LA Times reports. A state report says there is "no scientific evidence that e-cigarettes help smokers successfully quit traditional cigarettes or that they reduce their consumption." The vaping industry strongly criticized the state report, especially the advice for tobacco users to steer clear of e-cigarettes. "They're grossly misrepresenting the safety profile of e-cigarettes. It's really disappointing," the executive director of Consumer Advocates for Smokefree Alternatives tells the Wall Street Journal, which notes that Alaska is the only other state to have had a public anti-vaping campaign. "It's going to have the impact of discouraging people from making the switch from smoking, and it's going to cost lives." (The World Health Organization has called for a ban on indoor use of e-cigarettes.) |

Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: As his car slid downtown on Tuesday morning the mind of Arnold Thorndike was occupied with such details of daily routine as the purchase of a railroad, the Japanese loan, the new wing to his art gallery, and an attack that morning, in his own newspaper, upon his pet trust. But his busy mind was not too occupied to return the salutes of the traffic policemen who cleared the way for him. Or, by some genius of memory, to recall the fact that it was on this morning young Spear was to be sentenced for theft. It was a charming morning. The spring was at full tide, and the air was sweet and clean. Mr. Thorndike considered whimsically that to send a man to jail with the memory of such a morning clinging to him was adding a year to his sentence. He regretted he had not given the probation officer a stronger letter. He remembered the young man now, and favorably. A shy, silent youth, deft in work, and at other times conscious and embarrassed. But that, on the part of a stenographer, in the presence of the Wisest Man in Wall Street, was not unnatural. On occasions, Mr. Thorndike had put even royalty— frayed, impecunious royalty, on the lookout for a loan—at its ease. The hood of the car was down, and the taste of the air, warmed by the sun, was grateful. It was at this time, a year before, that young Spear picked the spring flowers to take to his mother. A year from now where would young Spear be? It was characteristic of the great man to act quickly, so quickly that his friends declared he was a slave to impulse. It was these same impulses, leading so invariably to success, that made his enemies call him the Wisest Man. He leaned forward and touched the chauffeur's shoulder. "Stop at the Court of General Sessions," he commanded. What he proposed to do would take but a few minutes. A word, a personal word from him to the district attorney, or the judge, would be enough. <sep>What is the name of the shy, silent stenographer about to be put in jail for theft?<sep>Thorndike

Let me give you an example: passage: Franchising is a way for small business owners to benefit from the economies of scale of the big corporation (franchiser). McDonald's and Subway are examples of a franchise. The small business owner can leverage a strong brand name and purchasing power of the larger company while keeping their own investment affordable. However, some franchisees conclude that they suffer the "worst of both worlds" feeling they are too restricted by corporate mandates and lack true independence. It is an assumption that small business are just franchisees, but the truth is many franchisers are also small businesses, Although considered to be a successful way of doing business, literature has proved that there is a high failure rate in franchising as well, especially in UK, where research indicates that out of 1658 franchising companies operating in 1984, only 601 remained in 1998, a mere 36%.
question: can a franchise be considered a small business?

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.

I've been here nigh onto two weeks, now, and I don't know her no betther than when I fust come. For the life of me I can't make out whether she's a gal woman or a woman gal.

[EX Q]: As We Know It -- Dr. Bailey is in labor, and without her husband Tucker Jones by her side, she refuses to push so she can give birth. George works with Addison to convince Bailey to have the baby. He finally gets through to Bailey by giving her the motivation that she needs, and ultimately he holds her while she delivers the baby. Izzie and Alex have sex again. Chief Richard Webber is under a lot of stress from everything that's been going on, and it is believed that he is having a heart attack, which lures his wife Adele to the hospital. However, it proves to be just an anxiety attack. Dr. Bailey's husband goes into cardiac arrest. Meredith finally removes the explosive from the patient, and Dylan, the leader of the bomb squad, carries it away. Meredith steps out of the operating room into the hallway, curiously watching Dylan walk away with the explosive, and at that moment, the bomb explodes, killing Dylan and a second bomb squad member. Meredith is knocked unconscious by the explosion. There is a revival of the ``shower scene'' from the first part, but with a more serious tone: the fully clothed Izzie and Cristina wash blood off of a stunned Meredith as George looks on. Dr. Bailey's husband and the man who had the explosive embedded in his body both survive. At the end of the episode, Preston and Derek become friends, overcoming their initial rivalry in the series beginning, and call each other by their first names. Cristina says ``I love you, too'' to a sleeping Preston. Derek comes to visit Meredith and says, ``You almost died today,'' and Meredith tells him that she can't remember their last kiss. Derek recalls the kiss for her, telling her that she ``smelled like some kind of flower,'' which Meredith says was lavender, and then he leaves.

Example input: what is the first event mentioned?, Context: The Russian Revolution is the series of revolutions in Russia in 1917, which destroyed the Tsarist autocracy and led to the creation of the Soviet Union. Following the abdication of Nicholas II of Russia, the Russian Provisional Government was established. In October 1917, a red faction revolution occurred in which the Red Guard, armed groups of workers and deserting soldiers directed by the Bolshevik Party, seized control of Saint Petersburg (then known as Petrograd) and began an immediate armed takeover of cities and villages throughout the former Russian Empire.

Q: What was written in the 29th year of the 19th century?, Context: Four boarders at his parents' apartments became Chopin's intimates: Tytus Woyciechowski, Jan Nepomucen Białobłocki, Jan Matuszyński and Julian Fontana; the latter two would become part of his Paris milieu. He was friendly with members of Warsaw's young artistic and intellectual world, including Fontana, Józef Bohdan Zaleski and Stefan Witwicki. He was also attracted to the singing student Konstancja Gładkowska. In letters to Woyciechowski, he indicated which of his works, and even which of their passages, were influenced by his fascination with her; his letter of 15 May 1830 revealed that the slow movement (Larghetto) of his Piano Concerto No. 1 (in E minor) was secretly dedicated to her – "It should be like dreaming in beautiful springtime – by moonlight." His final Conservatory report (July 1829) read: "Chopin F., third-year student, exceptional talent, musical genius."

One example: Property tax -- Property tax or 'house tax' is a local tax on buildings, along with appurtenant land. It is and imposed on the Possessor (not the custodian of property as per 1978, 44th amendment of constitution). It resembles the US-type wealth tax and differs from the excise-type UK rate. The tax power is vested in the states and is delegated to local bodies, specifying the valuation method, rate band, and collection procedures. The tax base is the annual rental value (ARV) or area-based rating. Owner-occupied and other properties not producing rent are assessed on cost and then converted into ARV by applying a percentage of cost, usually four percent. Vacant land is generally exempt. Central government properties are exempt. Instead a 'service charge' is permissible under executive order. Properties of foreign missions also enjoy tax exemption without requiring reciprocity. The tax is usually accompanied by service taxes, e.g., water tax, drainage tax, conservancy (sanitation) tax, lighting tax, all using the same tax base. The rate structure is flat on rural (panchayat) properties, but in the urban (municipal) areas it is mildly progressive with about 80% of assessments falling in the first two brackets.

In the Hebrew Bible, manna is described twice: once in Exodus 16: 1 -- 36 with the full narrative surrounding it, and once again in Numbers 11: 1 -- 9 as a part of a separate narrative. In the description in the Book of Exodus, manna is described as being "a fine, flake-like thing" like the frost on the ground. It is described in the Book of Numbers as arriving with the dew during the night. Exodus adds that manna was comparable to hoarfrost in color, similarly had to be collected before it was melted by the heat of the sun, and was like a coriander seed in size but white in color. Numbers describes it as having the appearance of bdellium, adding that the Israelites ground it and pounded it into cakes, which were then baked, resulting in something that tasted like cakes baked with oil. Exodus states that raw manna tasted like wafers that had been made with honey. The Israelites were instructed to eat only the manna they had gathered for each day. Stored manna "bred worms and stank": the exception being that stored the day before the Sabbath (Preparation Day), when twice the amount of manna was gathered.

You will be given a definition of a task first, then some input of the task.
In this task, you are given a text of many news articles seperated by special token "|||||". Your task is to summarize them.
A Florida couple suspected of kidnapping their two sons from the woman's parents are in Cuba, authorities said Monday.
The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office received information that the Hakken family had arrived on the island nation, according to a news release. Investigators say they're working with the FBI and the U.S. State Department to verify the reports.
It wasn't immediately clear what, if anything, authorities could do to retrieve the family from Cuba.
A State Department official said the department is aware of the case and is in contact with local authorities. The official said a high priority is the welfare of U.S. citizens overseas, especially children "who are our most vulnerable citizens."
"The Department works with parents and foreign governments to resolve these difficult cases," the official said.
The sheriff's office alleges that Joshua Michael Hakken entered his mother-in-law's house north of Tampa early Wednesday, tied her up and fled with his sons, 4-year-old Cole and 2-year-old Chase.
Federal, state and local authorities had been searching by air and sea for a boat Hakken recently bought. The truck that Hakken, his wife Sharyn and the boys had been traveling in was found late Thursday, abandoned in a parking garage in Madeira Beach. Authorities say they had been looking up and down the entire Gulf coast from Pensacola to the Keys and the Intracoastal Waterway. An alert for the boys has been issued in Florida, Louisiana and other states.
The boys had been living since last year with their maternal grandparents, who were granted permanent custody Tuesday. Joshua Hakken lost custody of his sons last year after a drug possession arrest in Louisiana, and he later tried to take them from a foster home at gunpoint, authorities have said. Authorities have previously characterized the Hakkens as "anti-government."
The Hillsborough Sheriff's office has issued an arrest warrant for Joshua Hakken on charges of kidnapping and several other counts. ||||| Story highlights FIRST ON CNN : A man on a boat in Havana tells CNN he is Josh Hakken
: A man on a boat in Havana tells CNN he is Josh Hakken Cuba says it will turn the Hakkens back over to the United States
Authorities believe Hakken abducted his two small sons last week
The boys were taken from their parents by child welfare officials in Louisiana last year
The smallest boat moored at the Hemingway Marina in Havana may hold the most intrigue.
Hunkered down inside a blue, 25-foot sailboat named Salty are Josh Hakken and his wife, Sharyn, and their two boys, 2-year-old Chase and 4-year-old Cole.
Theirs is no ordinary visit to the historic port, where they have eluded capture but where CNN found them Tuesday. The Hakkens have been on the lam after they allegedly snatched the two boys from their grandmother's home in Florida.
The couple lost custody of their children last year. There is an international manhunt for this family, and here they are, blending in among the other boats.
But their stop appears likely to be temporary, as Cuban officials announced Tuesday afternoon that they plan to turn the family over to U.S. authorities.

Josh Hakken glared through his sunglasses at the CNN reporter who found him and said nothing beyond confirming his identity.
The two boys are OK, said a woman matching the description of his wife, and she left it at that.
Josh and Sharyn Hakken are wanted by U.S. authorities and were not in custody in Cuba. But that doesn't mean they aren't being watched.
Cuban security officials wearing sidearms appeared as the CNN video crew was filming and ordered them to stop. At the security guards' request, CNN stepped away from the boat, which looked just like the photo that Florida law enforcement officials had circulated, except more battered.
A statement from the Cuban foreign ministry said the boat put in to the marina, located a few miles west of Havana, in bad weather on Sunday.
"From the first moment, diplomatic notes were exchanged and a permanent and professional communication has been maintained between MINREX" -- Cuba's foreign ministry -- "and the U.S. Interests Section in Havana, with the goal of guaranteeing the integrity and well-being of the minors," the statement said.
U.S. government officials have told the sheriff's office in Hillsborough County, Florida -- which includes the city of Tampa from which the boys went missing -- that "they are receiving exceptional cooperation from the Cuban government," the sheriff's office said Tuesday afternoon.
Earlier in the day, U.S. State Department spokesman Patrick Ventrell said the State Department is aware of the case, though it could not provide additional information because of privacy concerns.
"But what I do want to say, more broadly speaking, is that one of the department's highest priorities is the welfare of U.S. citizens overseas, and this is particularly true for children who are our most vulnerable citizens," Ventrell said.
Some worried that recovering the children will be difficult.
"Unfortunately, these parents and these poor children, these innocent ones, will now be in a country where there are no laws, there is no redress, and that has been a refuge for fugitives and wanted criminals for many years," Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R- Florida, told CNN.
The boys had been removed from the care of the Florida couple last year, and on April 2, the couple's parental rights were terminated in Louisiana, investigators say.
The Hillsborough County sheriff's office described Josh Hakken as an anti-government protester, and he was believed to be armed, according to the Hillsborough County sheriff's office.
There is no extradition treaty between Cuba and the United States, although there have been recent cases in which Americans sought for crimes in the United States and discovered in Havana have been sent back by the Cubans.
The FBI currently estimates there are around 70 fugitives from U.S. justice in Cuba, which is one of the reasons Cuba remains on the U.S. list of countries that support state terrorism. Most of the American fugitives in Cuba have been there for decades and have ties to revolutionary movements or radical groups.
Last week, the police department in Slidell, Louisiana, issued its own statement offering background on the Hakkens and why the boys were taken from the parents last year.
In June of 2012, Slidell police responded to a disturbance report at a hotel where Josh and Sharyn Hakken were staying with their sons, the police statement said.
"When police arrived, both Mr. and Mrs. Hakken were acting in a bizarre manner that alarmed officers. They were talking about 'completing their ultimate journey' and were traveling across the country to 'take a journey to the Armageddon'," the Slidell police statement said, adding, "Let it be noted that both of their children were present in the hotel room at the time."
Because of the parents' behavior and "the fact that narcotics and weapons were located inside of the hotel room," the children were taken by child welfare officers, and Joshua Hakken was arrested on drug charges, the statement said.
"Approximately two weeks later, Slidell Police were notified that Mr. Hakken had shown up to the foster family home ... with a firearm demanding the return of his children," the Slidell police statement continued. "The foster parents called 911, and Mr. Hakken fled without his children. We have heard nothing until (Wednesday)."
At some point over the past few months, the children were sent to live with their grandmother, Patricia Hauser, the mother of Sharyn Hakken.
Sheriff's investigators say Josh Hakken entered Hauser's home at 6:30 a.m. last Wednesday. She told police that he tied her up and fled with the children in her silver 2009 Toyota Camry. That vehicle was found later that day just a couple of blocks away from the home.
Those investigators told CNN they believe Hakken joined up with his wife, who was waiting in their pickup truck, and the family drove to a parking garage. A short time later, investigators said, Hakken is believed to have taken a sailboat out of a private slip in nearby Madeira Beach.
Surveillance images showed the boat sailing into the Gulf of Mexico about three and a half hours after the boys disappeared from their grandmother's home, investigators said, adding that the photos showed adults and children on board. |||||
Output: | A man on a boat in a Cuban marina tells CNN that he is Josh Hakken, the father being sought by Florida authorities who say he and his wife, Sharyn, kidnapped their own two sons from the boys' grandparents' house. Now, the AP reports, it's not certain whether authorities will be able to bring the family home, though federal officials are on the case. A State Department rep says that the US Interest Section in Havana "is aware of the case and is in contact with local authorities," but had no further comment. The US and Cuba do not have an extradition treaty. Police say Hakken tied up his mother-in-law and kidnapped the boys, ages 2 and 4, last week, a day after his wife's parents received permanent custody. Last year, the Hakkens lost custody following Josh Hakken's arrest on drug possession; he allegedly held up a foster home at gunpoint to try to get them back. Officials have characterized Josh Hakken as "anti-government." |

New-car buyers on average spent half a work day (4.3 hours) in dealerships in 2011, according to the most recent J.D. Power and Associates U.S. Sales Satisfaction Index. Some of that time can be chalked up to the complexity of new cars and the time it takes a salesperson to explain the audio, entertainment and navigation systems in your new vehicle.

They will likely ask you if you are using the car you want to sell as a trade-in for a new car. You may be offered more money on paper if you are using the car as a trade-in than if you want to sell it for cash. Most dealers will work with you whether you are looking to use your car as a trade-in for a new vehicle or not, though. Floor plan financing is a type of short-term loan that is paid off in 30 to 90 days, the time it normally takes to sell a car. A typical new car costs a dealer about $5 to $10 in interest per day. So if a car sits on the lot for 30 days, the dealer will be charged $150 - $300 in interest payments. This is why dealers want to sell cars as quickly as possible - to reduce their financing costs and increase profits.

Plasterer - History. 1 Plasterwork is one of the most ancient of handicrafts employed in connection with building operations, the earliest evidence showing that the dwellings of primitive man were erected in a simple fashion with sticks and plastered with mud. So if you have more than one spot that needs spackling. Do the first coat on all the spots at the same time and repeat the second and third coats for all the spots. Usually you can go around and hit all the spots in a room in a few minutes. Any professional plasterer would in no way use one coat plaster. The reasons being that you will never get the true fine finish that is required and will usually get the finish that you have received. Personally, I would always with no exceptions 2 coat any room, wall or even drywall repair. My working week is quite long, even by a plasterer’s standards. On a typical day, I will begin by putting down the dust sheets. I’ll ensure that all the surfaces which don’t need plastering are protected, and that the surfaces which do need plastering are prepped and ready. Plaster skimming is an internal finishing coat of plaster to provide a decorative finish to internal walls and ceilings, it is smooth to the touch and may be painted, wall papered or tiled. Finishing plaster can be used over many different types of backgrounds such as plasterboard , sand & cement , backing plasters or old existing plastered walls and ceilings (reskim). We can help with that too: 1 Send in details of your plastering job. 2 Get up to three quotes in return. 3 This service is free to use and you are under no obligation to accept. 4 The responses you get should be fast, within a day or two usually. 5 Thousands of people have used this service. A typically daily rate for a plasterer varies from £150 - £250 depending on the materials required and the location in the country. A plasterer's hourly rate (plus material costs) will be about £26 per hour (as of August 31, 2017) depending on where you are in the country. There are approximately 40,000 plasterers working in the UK, and demand is growing due to government housing development schemes. Plasterers sometimes work on their own when working on peoples’ homes. On larger-scale projects, however, they may work in teams, each covering different sections of a wall. The following is a list of what we consider to be the best plastering tips for the complete novice. Have fun and don't forget to try check out our complete plastering how to guide. Plastering Tip #1: Prepare your surface before beginning plastering. im a ceiling fixer of 20 odd yrs and keep getting ask to plaster. i only came on this site trying to get price to see what to charge to see if it is worth me doing as i do tape and joint as well so can use a trowel and had a go at doing it in my garage and made a better job than my mate did in my dining room which i used god now's how much joint cement on before painting.i work on a lot of sites. i often watch a lot of this going on cos im often waiting for them. some plasters are very fast ...

Organisers of the Singapore Grand Prix are to consider increasing their security after a British spectator managed to invade the track in last Sunday's race. The man, who was detained by local police and later identified as 27-year-old Yogvitam Pravin Dhokia, jumped through the track fencing and on to the circuit in front of Sebastian Vettel. The Briton appeared in court on Monday morning and was charged with committing a rash act. The offence could carry a maximum prison term of six months, local media said. A report undertaken by Gabriel Tan, clerk of the course in Singapore - and approved by Formula One's governing body, the FIA - recommended that the height of spectator fencing should be greater as well as increasing the number of marshals at the unique Marina Bay Street Circuit.A British man walked across the track during the Singapore Grand PrixHe ran in front of race winner Sebastian Vettel on lap 36 on SundayHe then also wandered on the track for almost a minuteThe man will appear in court on October 6 after failing pay bail

In this task, you are given a question and a context passage. You have to answer the question based on the given passage.
what is the first event mentioned?, Context: The Russian Revolution is the series of revolutions in Russia in 1917, which destroyed the Tsarist autocracy and led to the creation of the Soviet Union. Following the abdication of Nicholas II of Russia, the Russian Provisional Government was established. In October 1917, a red faction revolution occurred in which the Red Guard, armed groups of workers and deserting soldiers directed by the Bolshevik Party, seized control of Saint Petersburg (then known as Petrograd) and began an immediate armed takeover of cities and villages throughout the former Russian Empire.

Why? This is a good example, and the Russian Revolution is the first event mentioned.
New input: What came from it?, Context: The show's massive success in the mid-2000s and early 2010s spawned a number of imitating singing-competition shows, such as Rock Star, Nashville Star, The Voice, Rising Star, The Sing-Off, and The X Factor. Its format also served as a blueprint for non-singing TV shows such as Dancing with the Stars and So You Think You Can Dance, most of which contribute to the current highly competitive reality TV landscape on American television.
Solution: | Rock Star, Nashville Star, The Voice, Rising Star, The Sing-Off, and The X Factor |

Q: Victim: Dr Martin Luther King The FBI repeatedly deceived Congress by destroying vital files relating to the assassination of Martin Luther King, a new book claims. Leading King historian Stuart Wexler said that the bureau chose to cover up the potential role of a high level informant in the killing rather than tell the truth. Wexler said that it could have been one of the greatest scandals in the history of the FBI - but now we may never know what happened. By destroying the files the FBI disobeyed a direct order not to do so from a Congressional Committee which had been set up to investigate the killing of King and former President John F Kennedy.FBI accused in new book - by leading King historian Stuart Wexler - of misleading Congress by destroying files on civil rights leader's murderHe tells Daily Mail Online agency disobeyed direct order to preserve all materials and believes it was to protect informer from being identifiedTommy Tarrants, high-ranking KKK member went from being little-known racist to having his picture shown to witnessesFiles from two field offices which had information on Tarrants were destroyed in 1977 after Congress launched Assassinations CommitteeWexler believes it is because they could have exposed Laude Matthews, head of Mississippi KKK, as an FBI asset under deep cover

CHAPTER XVIII: DOUBLE, DOUBLE TOIL AND TROUBLE
'Truly the tender mercies of the weak, As of the wicked, are but cruel.'
And how did Lilias show that she had been truly benefited by her sorrows? Did she fall back into her habits of self-indulgence, or did she run into ill-directed activity, selfish as her indolence, because only gratifying the passion of the moment?
Those who lived with her saw but little change; kind-hearted and generous she had ever been, and many had been her good impulses, so that while she daily became more steady in well-doing, and exerting herself on principle, no one remarked it, and no one entered into the struggles which it cost her to tame her impetuosity, or force herself to do what was disagreeable to herself, and might offend Emily.
However, Emily could forgive a great deal when she found that Lily was ready to take any part of the business of the household and schoolroom, which she chose to impose upon her, without the least objection, yet to leave her to assume as much of the credit of managing as she chose--to have no will or way of her own, and to help her to keep her wardrobe in order.
The schoolroom was just now more of a labour than had ever been the case, at least to one who, like Lilias, if she did a thing at all, would not be satisfied with half doing it. Phyllis was not altered, except that she cried less, and had in a great measure cured herself of dawdling habits and tricks, by her honest efforts to obey well- remembered orders of Eleanor's; but still her slowness and dulness were trying to her teachers, and Lily had often to reproach herself for being angry with her 'when she was doing her best.'
1. Who found they could forgive a great deal?
2. Who was forgiven?
3. Had her routines before been generous to others?
4. Did her housemates see a big difference in her?

Ques:U.S. President Donald Trump is sending a $4.4 trillion budget request to Congress that includes money for a southern border wall and building up the military, but is projected to increase the federal deficit by more than $1 trillion. White House officials all but acknowledged the proposal unveiled Monday has little chance of becoming law — Congress alone controls federal government spending. But the White House insisted the budget proposal still sends an important message about Trump's priorities. "This is a messaging document," White House budget director Mick Mulvaney told reporters at a briefing Monday. The Trump budget calls for major cuts to domestic programs such as Medicare, Medicaid and food stamps. But the plan would still not balance the federal budget, in part because of reduced federal revenue due to tax cuts passed last year. Democrats widely rejected the plan. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi called the proposal a "brutal collection of broken promises and staggering cuts." The proposal's failure to eliminate debt is also likely to upset some Republicans, who have traditionally opposed budget deficits. "It's simply adjusting to the Washington, D.C., we live in," Mulvaney said, stressing that the new budget plan would help "turn the tide" on national debt. The White House proposal builds on the massive, two-year spending bill passed last week by Congress and signed by the president. That bill includes a major boost for the military, as well as domestic programs. Mulvaney, a former lawmaker and long-time opponent of federal debt, has acknowledged he likely would not have supported the bill were he still in Congress. But he said the new White House proposal does not mean that all of the money approved by Congress must be spent. "These are spending caps, these are not spending floors," he said. Under the two-year budget deal reached last week by Congress, the Pentagon will get a record-high $700 billion for 2018 — fulfilling a Trump campaign pledge. "We took care of the military like it's never... After the end of the story Pick the correct answer from the following options: - Pelosi is finding other things to blast the Pres for - not enough information - Pelosi was disgraced and kicked out of the house - Pelosi has come on board for the budget deal
Ans:Pelosi is finding other things to blast the Pres for

Ques:Yes; I have a rare form of cluster/ice pick headaches that can affect any part of my body. It’s quite uncommon, but essentially I can get an excruciating migraine in my arm, leg, etc., on top of getting them in my head/temples. For years my family and I had no idea what was happening, and with no vocabulary to properly explain what was happening, I described it for about fifteen years as “beeping.” Doctors told us it was anything from growth spurts to a grab for attention, and for a while I gave up trying to figure out what they were. When they got worse and I couldn’t ignore them anymore, I was finally sent to a neurologist, who diagnosed me with ice pick headaches. I let out a sigh of relief that I didn’t even know I was holding in; I felt like I could finally breathe. Years of stress and confusion washed off of me, and I started taking a beta blocker to prevent them. I’ve been on them for a few years now, and it’s changed my life for the better. I used to be terrified of learning to drive, for many reasons, but a large one being that if I got an ice pick headache on the road, I couldn’t guarantee the safety of those around me if I was at the wheel. Now I’m considering finally getting my license (considering - I still don’t like being behind the wheel), I don’t double over in white hot pain randomly anymore, and when I do get a cluster headache, I can still function. It almost sounds a little silly, but really, they were crippling, and being able to work through them on my own? It’s the greatest gift I’ve given to myself. You know yourself better than anyone, even if you feel like you don’t know yourself. If something feels wrong, don’t just live with it - keep pushing for a correct diagnosis! Whose life was changed forever once they found out they had ice pick headaches? Pick the correct answer from the following options: - The main characters - the family - not enough information - Doctors
Ans:The main characters

Ques:Today, I want to share why I think you should interview real estate agents before hiring one. Why You Should Interview Real Estate Agents Truth be told, I have only purchased one house and I’m in the process of selling it. My husband and I thought long and hard about whether we would try to sell our property on our own or hire someone to represent us. In the end, we chose the latter. If you have ever shared with friends or family that you’re looking for a home or thinking of selling your own, most everyone says something along the lines of, “Oh! I know a realtor I can recommend!” Many of you may know a real estate agent personally as well. I still think it makes sense to interview any prospective agents because they are being paid by you. When you hire someone to do work on your home, you get estimates and gather information about how and when the work will be done. When you are looking for babysitters, you meet them and see how they’ll interact with your child. When you’re an employer, you interview any potential employees. Don’t Take The Easy Route with Previous Agents and Friends Just because a friend is a realtor, doesn’t mean they’ll be the best real estate agent for you. Just because a friend recommends their realtor to you, doesn’t mean you have to hire him/her. It’s business and nobody should take it personally. Interviewing real estate agents just makes sense. Oftentimes, people don’t. Why not just use the realtor that sold you the house you’re currently in? Well, you can. But do you know how that realtor handles business when they are the listing agent versus the buyer’s agent? Do you know if they’ll want to pursue the option to be a dual agent (and double their commission)? Why not interview them while interviewing others? It won’t hurt. How long should it take to hire a real estate agent? Pick the correct answer from the following options: - it should take some time to interview multiple agents before making a decision - not enough information - you should take a few months to review agent profiles online before moving forward - you should call the first person recommended and hire them the same day
Ans: | it should take some time to interview multiple agents before making a decision

Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) brought her newborn to the floor for a vote on Jim Bridenstine's confirmation as NASA Administrator. Before making her way down to the chamber, Duckworth—who became the first senator to give birth while in-office—tweeted Maile Pearl’s planned outfit for her Senate floor debut. “I made sure she has a jacket so she doesn’t violate the Senate floor dress code (which requires blazers),” she wrote. “I’m not sure what the policy is on duckling onesies, but I think we’re ready.” On her way down to the vote, she told reporters, “About time, huh?

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on the Senate and a rule change allowing newborns of members into the chamber (all times local):
2:44 p.m.
Sen. Tammy Duckworth and daughter Maile have made Senate history.
The Illinois Democrat brought her daughter, in a pink hat, onto the Senate floor under new rules that permitted it. Duckworth already is the only senator to have given birth while serving in the Senate. Maile, born April 9, is the first senator's baby to be allowed on the chamber floor.
The history was made under a new rule passed a day earlier that permitted newborns of senators on the floor during votes. The Republican-controlled Senate held the vote open so Duckworth and Maile could adhere to the new rule. Duckworth, an Iraq war veteran and double-amputee, arrived in a wheelchair with Maile on her lap, voted no with a downturned thumb, and laughed. Her colleagues crowded around to see.
____
12:38 a.m.
Not just anybody can come onto the floor of the Senate — not even babies. Prompted by the first sitting senator with a newborn, the Senate has decided to allow the babies of its members into the chamber, but not before some coaxing.
Illinois Democrat Tammy Duckworth gave birth to a daughter on April 9. Minnesota Democrat Amy Klobuchar says private assurances that babies wouldn't disrupt the Senate were offered to members of both parties.
Still, there were reservations. Kansas Republican Pat Roberts noted that a senator could vote from a nearby lounge and said allowing babies on the floor wasn't necessary. Utah Republican Orrin Hatch asked, "What if there are 10 babies on the floor of the Senate?"

WASHINGTON (AP) — NASA's latest nail-biting drama was far from orbit as the Senate narrowly confirmed President Donald Trump's choice of a tea party congressman to run the space agency in an unprecedented party-line vote.
In a 50-49 vote Thursday, Oklahoma Rep. James Bridenstine, a Navy Reserve pilot, was confirmed as NASA's 13th administrator, an agency that usually is kept away from partisanship. His three predecessors — two nominated by Republicans — were all approved unanimously. Before that, one NASA chief served under three presidents, two Republicans and a Democrat.
The two days of voting were as tense as a launch countdown.
A procedural vote Wednesday initially ended in a 49-49 tie — Vice President Mike Pence, who normally breaks a tie, was at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida — before Arizona Republican Jeff Flake switched from opposition to support, using his vote as leverage to address an unrelated issue.
Thursday's vote included the drama of another delayed but approving vote by Flake, a last-minute no vote by Illinois Democrat Tammy Duckworth — who wheeled onto the floor with her 10-day-old baby in tow — and the possibility of a tie-breaker by Pence, who was back in town.
NASA is a couple years away from launching a new giant rocket and crew capsule to replace the space shuttle fleet that was retired in 2011.
"I look forward to working with the outstanding team at NASA to achieve the president's vision for American leadership in space," Bridenstine said in a NASA release after the vote.
Democrats opposing Bridenstine said his outspoken divisiveness, earlier rejection of mainstream climate change science and lack of space experience made him unqualified. Republicans praised him as a qualified war hero.
"His record of behavior in the Congress is as divisive as any in Washington, including his attacks on members of this body from his own party," Florida Democrat Bill Nelson said. "It's hard to see how that record will endear, and by extension NASA, him to Congress, and most importantly, endear him to the American people. "
Sen. Edward Markey, a Massachusetts Democrat, cited past Bridenstine comments that rejected mainstream climate science, invoking the movie "Apollo 13."
"Houston, we have a problem," Markey said. "NASA's science, NASA's mission and American leadership will be in jeopardy under Congressman Bridenstine's leadership."
During his confirmation hearing, Bridenstine said he acknowledges that global warming is real and man-made, but wouldn't say that it was mostly human-caused, as the overwhelming majority of scientists and scientific literature do. And Bridenstine told Nelson, "I want to make sure that NASA remains, as you said, apolitical."
Texas Republican Ted Cruz praised the NASA nominee as "a war hero."
"NASA needs a strong leader and it will have that strong leader in Jim Bridenstine," Cruz said.
Sean O'Keefe, who was NASA chief under President George W. Bush and was confirmed unanimously, said the close vote "is a consequence of an erosion of comity in the Congress, particularly in the Senate. Political fights will always break out, but now most policy choices are more likely to emerge based on the party with the majority than the power of the idea."
Alan Ladwig, a top NASA political appointee under Democrats, said this was a case of both party politics and a divisive nominee who doesn't accept science.

Student: | Sen. Tammy Duckworth and daughter Maile have made Senate history, the AP reports. The Illinois Democrat brought her daughter, in a pink hat, onto the Senate floor Thursday under new rules that permitted it. Duckworth already is the only senator to have given birth while serving in the Senate. Maile, born April 9, is the first senator's baby to be allowed on the chamber floor. The history was made under a new rule passed a day earlier that permitted newborns of senators on the floor during votes. The Daily Beast says the vote was to confirm Jim Bridenstine as NASA administrator. Duckworth, an Iraq war veteran and double-amputee, arrived in a wheelchair with Maile on her lap, voted no with a downturned thumb, and laughed. Her colleagues crowded around to see. (The "tea party congressman," a divisive appointee by President Trump, was confirmed narrowly in an unprecedented party-line vote, the AP reports.) Duckworth had previously tweeted a picture of Maile's outfit for the occasion, noting that she chose a jacket for the baby "so she doesn’t violate the Senate floor dress code requiring blazers." |

Input: At the age of eighteen there came a change in Poe's life. Until then he had been a petted child in a wealthy family. Mr. Allan did not have that affection for him which Mrs. Allan had. He did not understand the boy's peculiar and erratic nature, and was particularly displeased when he found that Edgar had run into debt at college. There was an angry scene between the two, and Edgar was told that he must leave the university and go into the counting-room. It appears that he made some attempt to tie himself down to figures and accounts and business routine; but as he had not been brought up to this kind of life, he soon tired of it, and decided to go into the world to seek his own fortune. He went to Boston, where he published a volume of poetry. In the preface to this volume, Poe says that the poems were written before he was fourteen. Though this may not be strictly true, there is little doubt that some of them were. While he was still at school he had collected enough of his poems to make a volume, and Mr. Allan had taken them up to the master of the English and Classical School to get his advice about publishing them. This gentleman advised against it on the ground that it would make Edgar conceited,--a fault from which he was already suffering. As soon as he was free to do as he pleased, therefore, it was natural that he should rewrite his poems and publish them. <sep>Which people caused Edgar discouragement?<sep>Mrs. Allan

Det. Kathleen Thompson told a gathering of business leaders, security professionals and media on Thursday that four weapons were tested against the kind of wooden desk typically found in offices.
Bullets from a .38-caliber Smith & Wesson handgun, a 9mm Glock handgun, a 12-gauge Mossburg shotgun, and an AK-47 all crashed through the desk. A better choice of hiding place is behind a file cabinet, which withstood ammunition from all but the AK-47.
"The more layers you have the better protection you have," Thompson said. "You want to have as many layers between you and that gun."

Thompson said that if workers can get out of the building and away from the shooter quickly, they should do so. But there are times, she said, when "your best option may be not to evacuate."
That's why the department, which studied 230 "active shooter" events to come up with its recommendations, suggests businesses create safe rooms with thick walls, solid doors, and as few windows as possible.
Those who barricade themselves inside should put their phones on silent, not vibrate, and try to block the door.
Deputy Commissioner for Counterterrorism John Miller said NYPD personnel train for active-shooter situations in facilities designed to look like offices. The department expects its first responding patrol officers to engage with the gunman.
Between 2000 and 2013, 486 people were killed in such attacks — which happen at a pace of one every 3.5 weeks and can involve meticulous preparation by the perpetrators.
"Even with emotionally disturbed people ... a lot of them demonstrate a high degree of careful planning during the incident," Miller said. "They manage to stay fairly organized." ||||| Workplace shootings are becoming so common that the NYPD is now providing training on how workers caught in such a situation should respond. The latest session was held for members of the media. NY1’s Dean Meminger filed this report.
The NYPD showed a training video to members of the media to dramatize what could happen if a gunman roams the workplace. It was part of a training session in response to the growing number of mass shootings, which now occur about once every three and a half weeks in America.
"Seventy percent of that happened in the workplace. Sixty percent of them are over before the police get there. And that's that 4 to 9 minute window,” said Deputy Commissioner of Counterterrorism and Intelligence John Miller.
The NYPD regularly holds seminars like the one they held Thursday, but the training session at police headquarters was scheduled for the media after a reporter and cameraman in Roanoke, Virginia were shot dead last week by a former colleague on live television.
Officers say it could happen anywhere, to anyone, but when police respond—remember they are in charge of your safety.
"Follow the instructions of the officers as they arrive. You are not reporters now in this situation. Don't start asking them questions. Let them get in there, you get out. If they tell you go a certain way, go a certain way. If they tell you get down on the ground, get down on the ground,” Det. Kathleen Thompson told the trainees.
According to the NYPD, the rule of thumb is ABC: “Avoid,” “Barricade,” and if all else fails, “Confront.”
That means in an active shooting, the first priority is avoiding the gunman. Next, try to barricade the person from where you are. Only as a last resort should you confront and fight.
The NYPD has stepped up training for patrol officers on mass shooting scenarios. Those officers often arrive before the specialized teams do.
"We are pushing a rescue, what's called a rescue task force concept which is pairing officers up with EMS and fire," said Det. Raymond McPartland.
"Officers say it may be scary to think about but every business and family should conduct drills on how to survive an active shooting situation.

Output: | Most mass shootings happen in the workplace and most of them are over before police get there, according to the New York City Police Department, so workers need to know how to react. The NYPD held a training session for members of the media yesterday in response to last week's TV shooting in Virginia and journalists were told to follow officers' instructions and forget about asking questions if they are caught in the middle of a mass shooting, NY1 reports. The NYPD says people should remember "ABC" for Avoid, Barricade, Confront: getting away from the shooter if you can, barricading yourself in if you can't, and confronting them only a last resort, as set out in a department safety pamphlet. To expand on the "Barricade" part, reporters were told to get "as many layers at they can" between themselves and the gun and were shown a video demonstrating how a typical wooden desk provided no protection against two commonly used handguns, a shotgun, and an AK-47, reports NBC. A filing cabinet, however, withstood fire from everything but the AK-47. The NYPD, which suggests workplaces set up "safe rooms" with thick walls, says it studied more than 200 events to come up with its survival recommendations, which include setting your phone on silent instead of vibrate when hiding. (A University of Alabama reseacher says his study explains why America leads the world in mass shootings.) |

Back in middle school, at least I think it was, I had art class. I didn’t particularly love it but it was interesting enough at the least to hold my attention. We got to class and the teacher pulled up a list of instructions on the projector. She had each of us follow the instructions and she gave us 20 minutes to complete all of them. It may even have been a bit of a race too, to see who finished it first. This becomes a lot more evident in a second. I can’t recall the exact details of the instructions, except that clearly it had to do with art such as having to draw a bunch of things. Anyways, we all went one by one down the instructions getting increasing nervous as to try to be the first one to finish. The class goes quiet while we work. Then I get to the last instruction which reads something along the lines of: “Step 15: Skip steps 1–14 and put your pencil down.” You gotta be freaking kidding me. We’re all so confused and mad at ourselves for not reading the whole of the instructions first. She turned this into a lesson for how we need to learn to read all the instructions first and then start, which was pretty clever. She got us! I remember this vividly to this day. But I look back now on this “prank” and I realize that she was kind of…wrong. Sure if the instructions are short like 15 steps it might be good to glance through before you start. But what about a whole load of instructions? Who the hell is going to read through the instructions for how to build their Death Star LEGO set before even starting to build it. Just a waste of time really. Note: I have never built a Death Star LEGO set. How does the author feel about the value of the teacher's prank to the students? Pick the correct answer from the following options: - The prank backfired and the teacher was taught a lesson - The prank taught a good lesson - The prank was wrong and did not teach a lesson - not enough information

SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA — Final preparations are underway for Friday’s historic third summit between the leaders of North and South Korea. In the morning, North Korea Leader Kim Jong Un will cross the military demarcation line that divides the two Koreas at the village of Panmunjom, the historic site where the Korean War armistice was signed in 1953. He will be met by South Korean President Moon Jae-in on the South Korean side of the heavily fortified demilitarized zone. This will be the third inter-Korean summit, but it will be the first time that a leader from the communist North will enter the democratic South. The summits in 2000 and 2007 were held in North Korea. Kim will travel with an official delegation that includes his sister, Kim Yo Jong, who led the North’s delegation to the Winter Olympics in South Korea, Kim Yong Nam, the North’s nominal head of state, and Kim Yong Chol. Kim Yong Chol was previously the head of the North’s military intelligence agency and has been named by South Korea as being responsible for ordering the deadly 2010 sinking of the Cheonan, a South Korean navy vessel. It is unclear if Kim Jong Un’s wife, Ri Sol-ju, will be part of the official delegation from the North. She recently traveled with Kim when he visited Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing. South Korea will hold a welcoming ceremony for the North Korean leader that will include a military honor guard review. During past summits, North Korea also organized the same level of ceremonial guard used to underscore friendly relations with an important visiting head of state. The two leaders will pose together for pictures, and plant a pine tree in the DMZ to symbolize Korean reconciliation. The leaders from the North and South may also walk together along a historic footbridge called the “Bridge of No Return” that was used for prisoner exchanges at the end of the Korean War. Moon and Kim will hold direct talks in the Peace House conference hall, both in the morning and the afternoon, but the North Korean delegation will... At the end of the story, Kim Jong Un probably is: Pick the correct answer from the following options: - still getting ready to go to Singapore - still preparing to cross to South Korea - not enough information - still picking out his suit for the photo opportunity
(A).
still preparing to cross to South Korea

I'm not good at sticking to the rules, not even the ones I set myself. I'm really terrible with the rules set by others, especially companies. Even as a child, I could never stay inside the lines in colouring books. Some of you might put this down to poor hand-eye coordination, but I maintain that I was a rule-breaker right from the beginning. One of my roles as an engineer with a multiplicity of companies was to set up projects, define the scope of the work, contract the work out and manage the project. I was setting up a robot-based manufacturing cell for the company in the business of making early cellphones. The cell design required some equipment to be designed and built from scratch, so I got a local designer, Fergus, to give me a quote and got him started on the work. Now, any project will run over budget and take longer than planned and the contractor may come back for more money. And so it was with this designer; he wasn't really vocal about it, but he indicated that the work did take a lot more time and expense than he's originally budgeted. My usual reaction to these things is that this is not my problem. Most of the companies I've work for have lost money, so why should I give a rat's ass if some other company comes up a little short? In this case though, I liked Fergus and, as he was really a one-man operation, I decided to cut him some slack. But first, I had to get permission from my boss to drop another few grand into Fergus's jeans. My boss refused. Having someone tell me I can't do something really brings out my dark side; especially around the time of the full moon. Not long before, we had just waved a fond(-ish) farewell to our president as he was going on to greener fields. As a parting gift, the company bought him either a boat or a motor home, I forget which, and equipped it with three of their cell phones. What is authors role as an engineer? Pick the correct answer from the following options: - work and manage people - set up the projects and define deadlines - to set up projects, define the scope of work and manage the project - not enough information
(A).
| to set up projects, define the scope of work and manage the project |

How to identify shark teeth
Search for teeth at the tide line and the shoreline.
Go to the beach at low tide and look for the line of debris in the sand. Walk slowly along this tide line as you keep your eyes peeled for teeth.
OPTIONS:
- The tooth for sharks that live in sandy waters is also known as the demon tooth and its characteristics are similar to those of sharks. This may be especially significant if you live in dense sand where there will be a lot of boulders and debris.
- If the beach is busy, you might have more luck looking right where the waves are crashing into the shoreline so that you can snag teeth before others see them. Every now and then, dig up some of the sand along the tide line and/or shoreline and search through it for teeth.
- Once you see teeth appear on this line, you can get a sense of how they look. You can also use a body watch and watch your hands while you examine teeth.
- Fins with ribbons, lobster teeth, or koistriped teeth are more common than human teeth. Look for shark teeth that have saliva on them.

How to prevent shaken baby syndrome
Recognize the seriousness of shaken baby syndrome.
This condition is often accidental, but can severely injure or kill a child.
At least 1 in 4 shaken babies die.
OPTIONS:
- Those that survive may experience blindness, cerebral palsy, intellectual/developmental delays, seizures, and other conditions. Experts warn that shaking a baby is similar to shaking a half-empty container of water: the contents crash around inside, even after the shaking is done.
- Symptoms include elbows, toes, red streaks, and skin shouts and screams. Concerned parents of the condition have doctors bring over their child's medical history, including a criminal record, physical and biological records, tracking information, medical history, and even physical symptoms like shaking.
- This is because babies cannot regulate their emotions in response to stress. Family members may be easily alarmed by crying, displaying shaking, or displays negative body language such as crying.
- Although you cannot control the severity of your baby's condition without first identifying it, you can control how long it takes for the condition to go away, as well as how fragile it is. If you take care of your baby, it will last longer, longer and be healthier.

Please answer the following question: U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday blasted former FBI director James Comey as an "untruthful slime ball," and said it was his "great honor" to fire him. Trump's barrage of insults comes as Comey engages in a publicity campaign for his book, "A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership," which is set to be released next week. The memoir promises a deep look at Comey's fraught relationship with the U.S. president who fired him, and whom Comey has accused of interfering in the independence of the FBI. On Twitter, Trump said Comey should be prosecuted. Trump's comments are in line with an online campaign, organized by his supporters, to discredit Comey. The Republican National Committee on Thursday launched a new website, Lyin'Comey.com, which features quotes from prominent Democrats who have criticized the former FBI director in the past. The GOP plans to fact-check Comey's book and use the website for "rapid response" to highlight any "misstatements" or "contradictions," Fox News reports. Comey's book blasts Trump as unethical and "untethered to truth'' and calls his leadership of the country "ego driven and about personal loyalty.'' The book also contains several personal jabs at Trump, including references to what Comey says are the "bright white half-moons" under Trump's eyes, which he surmises were the result of Trump using tanning goggles. Comey also casts Trump as a Mafia boss-like figure who sought to blur the line between law enforcement and politics, and tried to pressure him regarding his investigation into Russian election interference, according to multiple early reviews of the book. Trump fired Comey in May 2017, setting off a storm of charges from Democrats that the president sought to hinder an investigation into whether his campaign colluded with Russians. The firing led to the appointment of Robert Mueller as special counsel overseeing the Russia investigation. Mueller's probe has expanded to include whether Trump obstructed justice by firing Comey, an idea the president denies. Trump has... After the story ends, Comey probably: Pick the correct answer from the following options: - returns to the FBI after a few months - not enough information - Does not return to working for the FBI ever - works for a restaurant chain
Answer: | Does not return to working for the FBI ever |

This caitiff monk for gold did swear, That by his drugs my rival fair A saint in heaven should be.--SCOTT
A grand cavalcade bore the house of Quinet from Montauban--coaches, wagons, outriders, gendarmes--it was a perfect court progress, and so low and cumbrous that it was a whole week in reaching a grand old castle standing on a hill-side among chestnut woods, with an avenue a mile long leading up to it; and battlemented towers fit to stand a siege.
Eustacie was ranked among the Duchess's gentlewomen. She was so far acknowledged as a lady of birth, that she was usually called Madame Esperance; and though no one was supposed to doubt her being Theodore Gardon's widow, she was regarded as being a person of rank who had made a misalliance by marrying him. This Madame de Quinet had allowed the household to infer, thinking that the whole bearing of her guest was too unlike that of a Paris _bourgeoise_ not to excite suspicion, but she deemed it wiser to refrain from treating her with either intimacy or distinction that might excite jealousy or suspicion. Even as it was, the consciousness of a secret, or the remnants of Montauban gossip, prevented any familiarity between Eustacie and the good ladies who surrounded her; they were very civil to each other, but their only connecting link was the delight that every one took in petting pretty little Rayonette, and the wonder that was made of her signs of intelligence and attempts at talking. Even when she toddled fearlessly up to the stately Duchess on her canopied throne, and held out her entreating hands, and lisped the word '_nontre_,' Madame would pause in her avocations, take her on her knee, and display that wonderful gold and enamel creature which cried tic-tic, and still remained an unapproachable mystery to M. le Marquis and M. le Vicomte, her grandsons.

question:
The Marshall police were looking for the killer, but they had no evidence or witnesses. The case would go cold in a hurry.
Carnie was ready to check out of her room--not because of any fear of getting caught--just from boredom. She hadn't sold the old lady's jewelry, but had plenty of cash anyway.
Carnie flipped open her cell phone and dialed.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Sis, how are you doing?"
"Fine. What's going on?"
"How about if I come stay with you guys for a few days before the wedding?"
"You mean now?"
"Yeah. If you don't mind."
"Uh...sure, that'll be fine."
"Great. It'll be like old times."
"No, no. I can't party all night and get drunk." Carsie laughed.
"Okay. Maybe not exactly like old times. But we'll have fun. See you in thirty minutes."
"Thirty minutes? Where are you?"
But Carnie had already hung up.
It was hard to believe that her sister, Carsie, had wormed her way into the heart of the wealthy doctor. Sis had a lot more patience than she did. She would have just slit his throat and skipped town with his fortune. Surely Carsie hadn't actually fallen in love with the nerd. Maybe her biological clock had started ticking too loud to ignore.
Carsie was about to turn 31, and Carnie was only a year behind her. But unlike her sister, Carnie didn't need a man to support her and give her babies. Anything she needed she would get for herself, thank you very much.
But it would be hysterical to watch Carsie go through the whole 'until death do we part' shtick. Would she actually have the balls to wear a white dress? If the color of the dress indicates the purity of the bride, maybe she should go with midnight black. Question: Who is marrying the doctor?
answer:
Carsie
question:
I'm sitting at the airport on a Sunday morning waiting for my flight to Las Vegas for the now-annual pilgrimage to the NamesCon conference. A few years ago, Vegas was one of my "bucket list" places – one of those iconic cities that one should visit at least once in their life. For me, once was enough. This is now my 4th (I think?) trip to Vegas, and while the city has a lot to offer, it's just not my cup of tea.
For one thing, I'm not a gambler, like at all. I don't have anything against it, I just don't enjoy it. It either feels pointless or stressful to me. The city itself makes me a little sad – in some cases, it reeks of desperation. Last time I was there, my cab driver entertained me with stories of how she was working 3 jobs to save up enough to join some mega-massive bingo game. She won a small jackpot a few years back and that allowed her to work only one job for a few months. She was hoping to win again so she could cut back to 1 or 2 jobs.
I wondered how many people do similar things – gambling their money away, in big or small chunks, in the hopes of that big score and in the process, putting themselves in a not-great financial situation. I suppose as long it makes them happy, then it's all OK, but I can't help but think someone like my cab driver might be happier overall if she only worked 1 job instead of 3, instead of working extra jobs to save up money to gamble her way to financial freedom. But that's for her to decide, not me.
The juxtaposition of extreme and in-your-face wealth and the homeless people on the Strip also makes me sad. It's difficult to see people begging for food and sleeping on the street while all around you, millions of dollars are poured into creating a massive playground with every type of indulgence possible. But I'm the first to say that I've enjoyed staying in some of the nicer hotel properties there and eating several excellent meals at some of the finer restaurants in the area, so I'm not exactly helping to solve the problem. Question: Who wanted to enter a mega jackpot Bingo game?
answer:
the cab driver
question:
SEOUL — In addition to growing concerns that North Korea will pull out of the upcoming nuclear summit with the U.S., prospects for improved inter-Korean relations have also stalled, as Pyongyang demands that U.S.-South Korea joint military drills be scaled back, and a group of defectors be returned.
Just weeks after North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and South Korean President Moon Jae-in declared the beginning of a new era of peace during a historic summit held in the demilitarized zone of the inter-Korean border, Pyongyang has put further dialogue and cooperation on hold until its demands are met.
President Moon will meet with U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington on Tuesday to discuss the upcoming Trump-Kim summit and the North's sudden conditions set for continued dialogue and cooperation.
Most of North Korea's anger last week, expressed in official statements and reports carried by the state news agency KCNA, seemed to be directed at the U.S. It criticized the Max Thunder joint military exercise that is currently underway, and U.S. National Security Adviser John Bolton's demands for the North's unilateral nuclear disarmament. North Korea in particular objected to Bolton's insistence that North Korea follow the Libyan model, which involved the rapid and total dismantlement of that country's nuclear program, but it was also followed by the overthrow of the country's leader Moammar Gadhafi some years later.
Unless the U.S. eased up on its uncompromising stance, Pyongyang indicated it would pull out of the June 12 meeting in Singapore between Kim and U.S. President Donald Trump to negotiate an end the North's nuclear program in exchange for security guarantees and an end to punishing international sanctions.
President Trump later said the Libya model does not apply to North Korea and that Kim Jong Un would remain in power and "be very rich" if he makes a deal to end his country's nuclear program.
North Korea denounced South Korea, as well, for the joint military drills, calling the Seoul government "ignorant and incompetent," and suspending working-level bilateral talks last week. Question: Who will meet with President Donald Trump in Washington on Tuesday to discuss the upcoming Trump-Kim summit?
answer:
| President Moon Jae-in

Patients and their family members often want to know how long a person who has cancer will continue to live. It’s normal to want to be prepared for the future. But predicting how long someone will continue to live is a hard question to answer. And, if they develop uncontrolled symptoms in the last week, they can still receive Palliative Sedation. Is VSED ethical? Is it suicide? It is not suicide. If the goal is to alleviate or prevent suffering, it is considered ethically acceptable for someone who is capable of making an informed decision. VSED must be distinguished from the naturally occurring loss of appetite and interest in food or water that occurs at the end of life. Last Updated: Thursday 14 July 2016 09:58. What is VSED (Voluntary Stopping Eating & Drinking)? This refers to the decision by a patient to stop eating food and drinking liquids when they have a terminal or life-limiting disease, so that their death can be hastened (and therefore their dying will not be prolonged). Withdrawal from friends and family: 1 People often focus inward during the last weeks of life. 2 They may lose interest in things they used to enjoy, such as favorite TV shows, friends, or pets. 3 Caregivers can let the patient know they are there for support. Why would someone stop eating and drinking? We know that up to 35% of patients in hospice programs have severe pain in the final week of life and 25% describe having shortness of breath that is “unbearable”. With such uncontrolled symptoms, they might say “I’m tired of this and I just want to go to sleep and not wakeup”. How long you can get hospice care. 1 You can get hospice care for two 90-day benefit periods, followed by an unlimited number of 60-day benefit periods. 2 You have the right to change your hospice provider once during each benefit period. How long you can get hospice care. Hospice care is for people with a life expectancy of 6 months or less (if the illness runs its normal course). If you live longer than 6 months, you can still get hospice care, as long as the hospice medical director or other hospice doctor recertifies that you’re terminally ill. 1 You can get hospice care for two 90-day benefit periods, followed by an unlimited number of 60-day benefit periods. If your health improves or your illness goes into remission, you may no longer need hospice care. You always have the right to stop hospice care at any time. If you choose to stop hospice care, you'll be asked to sign a form that includes the date your care will end. At the start of each benefit period after the first 90-day period, the hospice medical director or other hospice doctor must recertify that you’re terminally ill, so you can continue to get hospice care. If you live longer than 6 months, you can still get hospice care, as long as the hospice medical director or other hospice doctor recertifies that you’re terminally ill. You can get hospice care for two 90-day benefit periods, followed by an unlimited number of 60-day benefit periods. Query: how long does hospice care last when someone is not eating | Hospice care is for people with a life expectancy of 6 months or less. If you live longer than 6 months, you can still get hospice care, as long as the hospice medical director or other hospice doctor recertifies that you’re terminally ill. |

How to reduce the cost of long term care insurance
Buy early.
Purchasing long term care insurance early, ideally during your 50s, can reduce your premiums considerably. This is the reason why long term care planning should be done way ahead as well.
OPTIONS:
- Early onset coverage can reduce the cost a particular policy will deal with, if the severity of the illness seems to be affected. When buying insurance, contact the insurance agency and inquire about potential offerings.
- Acquiring a policy at this stage is highly encouraged for two reasons. First, it may mean a lower premium for you.
- Additionally, if you buy the insurance early, you are guaranteed a lower premium. Buying insurance ahead of time is the best way to set up a short term care plan.
- To reduce the costs of regular medical care, consider purchasing late-term care insurance companies. These companies are more responsive to medical coverage and offer lower premiums.

- Try to sit in the edge of the classroom, out of the teacher's main focus of vision. You can sit in the back to hopefully hide or the very front so the teacher possibly completely looks past you and forgets you are there.
- It's okay if the teacher's blind spot is noticeable. But don't be a weirdo! Your point of view should reflect the things on your personality, and in the class.

Q: The Fall of the Western Roman Empire (also called Fall of the Roman Empire or Fall of Rome) was the process of decline in the Western Roman Empire in which it failed to enforce its rule, and its vast territory was divided into several successor polities. The Roman Empire lost the strengths that had allowed it to exercise effective control over its Western provinces; modern historians mention factors including the effectiveness and numbers of the army, the health and numbers of the Roman population, the strength of the economy, the competence of the Emperors, the internal struggles for power, the religious changes of the period, and the efficiency of the civil administration. Increasing pressure from barbarians outside Roman culture also contributed greatly to the collapse. The reasons for the collapse are major subjects of the historiography of the ancient world and they inform much modern discourse on state failure.

Input: Walgreens shoppers could pay up to 55 percent more for products at stores in the same city, according to a study by a consumer watchdog group released Thursday.
The huge price discrepancies were discovered in a study of four major markets: New York, Los Angeles, Orange County, Calif., and Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas. Researchers bought a basket of 25 items ranging from coffee to diapers at 485 CVS, Walgreens and Rite Aid locations in those areas.
Walgreens stores were five times more likely than its competitors to charge different prices for a certain product in the same city, the report said. In every market surveyed, researchers also said they found Walgreens to have the biggest price differences among its stores.
The report was released by Change to Win Retail Initiatives and the National Consumers League. They recommend consumers ask about price matching and avoid Walgreens flagship stores, which showed higher prices. In Chicago, Walgreens flagship stores are at State and Randolph Streets in the Loop and at North and Damen Avenues in Bucktown/Wicker Park.
Walgreen Co. spokesman Jim Graham said the company's prices "reflect the costs of doing business in the neighborhoods we serve as well as any nearby retail competition."
"Costs can vary from one location to another, even when they are a few blocks apart in dense urban areas, based on the store's cost of real estate, its hours of operation including whether it is open 24 hours, labor costs and the number of customers it serves each day, among other factors," he added.
Adjusting prices based on location or property values is common among national retail chains and not against the law.
The study comes a week after the Missouri Attorney General's office announced it is suing Walgreen Co. for allegedly overcharging customers and using false advertising.
The lawsuit stems from a two-month investigation by the office of Attorney General Chris Koster, in which the office said found a "pattern of advertising lower prices on display tags, but charging higher prices at the checkout."
Walgreens also said Thursday that its sales rose 5.6 percent in August, as an increase in customers’ average purchase offset a decline in store traffic overall.
Walgreen Co. is based in Deerfield.
[email protected] | Twitter: @SamWillTravel ||||| Shop at the wrong Walgreens and you could end up paying significantly more than if you'd bought the exact same items at a store on the other side of town, a recent study found.
While some price variation occurs at Rite Aid (RAD) and CVS (CVS), Walgreens (WAG) was the worst offender, with a single item costing as much as 55% more depending on a store's location, according to a study of 485 drugstore locations in New York, Los Angeles, Orange County, Calif., and Dallas-Forth Worth by the National Consumers League and labor union coalition Change to Win.
The study was based on the listed prices for a basket of 25 items, ranging from Tropicana Pure Premium orange juice to Huggies "Little Movers" diapers. Depending on the city, the chain was up to five times more likely to have store locations in the same market that charged different prices.
"It's a wake-up call I think for consumers," said Sally Greenberg, executive director of the National Consumers League "The expectation is that you're going to have the same prices within a chain."

In Dallas-Fort Worth, for example, Walgreens shoppers could pay $3 more for Folgers coffee depending on the location they chose or $3.50 extra for cold medication.
In New York City, a box of 10 Claritin allergy tablets cost anywhere from $10.49 to $15.99 depending on the Walgreens store. The same bottle of eye drops, meanwhile, cost $9.99 at a location in Queens and $15.49 a subway ride away on 57th street in Manhattan.
The differences can add up. The basket of 25 items cost $38 -- or nearly 20% -- more at a Walgreens' flagship in New York City than it typically cost at other nearby locations.
Walgreens spokesman Jim Graham said in a statement that the store's prices reflect the company's cost of doing business in different neighborhoods.
"Costs can vary from one location to another, even when they are a few blocks apart in dense urban areas, based on the store's cost of real estate, its hours of operation including whether it is open 24 hours, labor costs and the number of customers it serves each day, among other factors," he said.

Price ranges of at least 20% were found among products at CVS stores, but such large price disparities were much less frequent than at Walgreens. At Rite Aid, "virtually no products" had that large of a price difference, according to the study.
CVS said that prices may vary at different stores based on local competition and other operational factors. Rite Aid did not respond to requests for comment.
To conduct the study, researchers checked prices at Walgreens, CVS and Rite Aid stores in New York City, Los Angeles and Orange County and Walgreens and CVS stores in Dallas-Fort Worth. There are no Rite Aid stores in Dallas-Fort Worth.
Want to find the store with the best prices? Follow these tips from the National Consumers League.
Ask about price matching: While they won't be able to match online prices, managers are often able to match prices from other store locations of the same chain.
Shop around: Keep track of prices of your drugstore staples at different chains and locations. |||||
Output: | Thrifty shoppers, beware. A consumer watchdog group descended on New York, LA, Dallas-Fort Worth, and Orange County, and promptly went shopping, purchasing a list of 25 items from 485 CVS, Walgreens, and Rite Aid locations. What it found: Price differences of as much as 55% for the same product at Walgreens locations in the same city, reports the Chicago Tribune. (Price variations at CVS and Rite Aid weren't nearly so dramatic.) CNN shares some examples: A bottle of eye drops that cost $9.99 in Queens was $15.49 at a 57th Street location in Manhattan; the price of Folgers coffee varied as much as $3 at Dallas-Fort Worth locations. A Walgreens rep attributed the variance to the cost of real estate, hours of operation, labor costs, and the size of the customer base served by each location. (The Tribune notes that such price adjustments aren't illegal.) Change to Win and the National Consumers League—which released the report yesterday—advise customers to avoid flagship stores. CNN notes that the 25 items cost almost 20% more at a NYC flagship location as compared to other nearby Walgreens. |
