See, the Virginias were one until 1863, so do we count them as one or two? Officially there was only one Virginia to name at the time, but I think we're looking to count how many states are named after kings or queens today, in the here and now, right? So the number I think you're looking for is 7! Georgia - Latin or English - After King George II of England Louisiana - French - After King Louis XIV of France Maryland - English - After Queen Henrietta Maria of England North Carolina - Latin - After King Charles II of England South Carolina - Latin - After King Charles II of England Virginia - Latin or English - The virgin country (or country of the virgin), after Queen Elizabeth I of England West Virginia - Latin or English - The western transmontane, counties of Virginia. See Virginia, above. Unless, of course, we want to squeeze New York in there too, because it was named after the Duke of York, who later became the King of England... James II, see. I'll leave that one up to you. Best, `k. Example Output: How many U.S. states are named after kings or queens? Example Input: buy some whiteout and resend them next year to the same folks who sent them to you 9 out of ten will not notice Example Output: What should I do with all of the holiday cards I received? Example Input: I WOULD GO TO THE STORE IN A 30 BELLOW ZERO SNOW BLIZARD AND REACH IN MY WALLET WITH MY FROST BITTEN FINGERS, GET SOME MONEY OUT AND PAY FOR MY CLONDIKE. THEN GO HOME AND CRY OF HAPPINESS AND EAT TILL IT'S ALL GONE. Example Output:

Michigan is a state of the United States. It is the 11th largest state in the US. Do you have any information on the State symbols and nicknames of Michigan? Yes. Michigan is known as "The Wolverine State". So much so, that the University of Michigan has the wolverine as its mascot. Thank you. Do they have a state symbol? Sorry, other than the wolverine, I don't have any more information on state symbols. However, I can tell you that other state nicknames include "Great Lake State", "Mitten State", and "Water-Winter Wonderland State". Also, the state motto is "Si quaeris peninsulam amoenam circumspice", which means "If you seek a plesant peninsula, look about you". Switching topics, do you have any information on the demographics? Yes. According to the 2010 Census, White Americans made up 78.9% of the population, with 76.6% of those being Non-Hispanic Whites and 2.3% being White Hispanics. Black or African Americans made up 14.2%, Asian Americans made up 2.4%, American Indians made up 0.6%, Pacific Islanders made up <0.1%, some other race made up 1.5%, and 2.3% were multiracial. Thank you, Do you have any details on the religious practices of this diverse population? The Reformed Church in America has 154 congregations in the state, with approximately 76,000 members. That's impressive. Did you learn any interesting facts about Michigan? Michigan has the most lighthouses of any US state! There are about 150 of them. Very nice!1 Thank you for such good information! You're welcome. Have a great evening. Answer: Michigan Question: Hi, I really need to know some interesting facts about the climate of Greenland. Sure! Greenland is composed of three large islands according to a survey led by French scientist Paul-Emile in 1951. US and European climate researchers drilled into the summit of Iceland's ice sheet to obtain ice cores. Great, that's really interesting. Now, I'd like to learn about Geography involving Greenland. The extreme north of Greenland, called Peary Island is not covered by an ice sheet due to the air quality; it is too dry and cannot produce an ice sheet! Oh my! Well, so much for ice skating in that area. Now, I'd like to learn about the people of Greenland and their culture. Greenland has a population of 50,000 and most civilians live on the southern part by the coast due to cold climate. I'll be sure to bring a super heavy coat, should I visit there. However, based on your knowledge of Greenland's culture, are there any special dances, occasions or events specific to the city folk? Unfortunately I do not have any further information on their culture. You are right, though, about the coat! Fair enough. Can you tell me more about the climate of Greenland and/or it's surrounding towns? Absolutely. Greenland is the world's largest non-continental island. I do know another fact about the culture though, Greenlandic culture is a blend of traditional Inuit and Scandinavian culture. Great! Now, I'd like to learn a little more about Geographical aspects of Greenland. Sure. The nearest countries to Greenland are Canada and Iceland. Greenland is also home to the world's largest national park, and Greenland has no forests; only dwarf trees are found near the coast to the south. Answer: Greenland Question: Hi! I would very much like to know some information about Guinea please I would be happy to help with that! Are you interested in learning more about Guinea culture? Yes, please I would very much like to know about its culture please. Guinea has a rich musical tradition, much like other West American countries. Great! Can you tell me where it is located and tell me a little more on its culture? In Guinea you can enjoy jollof rice, maafe, and tapalapa bread. These are part of the West African cuisine. Good to know! I will like some information regarding its health system now Notably on March 25, 2014, the World Health Organization said that Guinea's Ministry of Health had reported an outbreak of Ebola Virus. Wow, That is terrible! do you know more about the outbreaks? The World Health Organization said that their inability to engage with local communities hindered the ability of health care workers to trace the origin of the virus. That is certainly terrible! well do you know any fun fact of this country? AREDOR is a joint diamond-mining venture between the Guinean Government and an Australian, British and Swiss consortium. They began production in 1984 and mined diamond that were 90% gem quality Thank you so much for all this useful information! You are welcome! Answer:
Guinea
Definition: In this task, you are given a set of context paragraph and some supporting facts to answer a question. Your task is to generate answer for given question based on set of context paragraphs and supporting facts. Input: Context_1 : The "Iowa"-class battleships were a class of six fast battleships ordered by the United States Navy in 1939 and 1940 to escort the Fast Carrier Task Forces that would operate in the Pacific Theater of World War II. Four were completed, two more were laid down but canceled in August 1945, at war's end, and both hulls were scrapped in 1958. Like other third-generation American battleships, the "Iowa"s followed the design pattern set forth in the preceding "North Carolina"-class and "South Dakota"-class battleships, which emphasized speed in addition to secondary and anti-aircraft batteries. Based on wartime experience, they were to serve as fast escorts for "Essex"-class aircraft carrier s. Context_2 : The Battle of Taranto took place on the night of 11–12 November 1940 during the Second World War between British naval forces, under Admiral Andrew Cunningham, and Italian naval forces, under Admiral Inigo Campioni. The Royal Navy launched the first all-aircraft ship-to-ship naval attack in history, employing a small number of obsolescent Fairey Swordfish biplane torpedo bombers from the aircraft carrier in the Mediterranean Sea. The attack struck the battle fleet of the "Regia Marina" at anchor in the harbour of Taranto using aerial torpedoes despite the shallowness of the water. The devastation wrought by the British carrier-launched aircraft on the large Italian warships was the beginning of the ascendancy of naval aviation over the big guns of battleships. According to Admiral Cunningham, "Taranto, and the night of November 11–12, 1940, should be remembered for ever as having shown once and for all that in the Fleet Air Arm the Navy has its most devastating weapon." Context_3 : Shōhō (Japanese: 祥鳳, "Auspicious Phoenix" or "Happy Phoenix") was a light aircraft carrier of the Imperial Japanese Navy. Originally built as the submarine support ship "Tsurugizaki" in the late 1930s, she was converted before the Pacific War into an aircraft carrier and renamed. Completed in early 1942, the ship supported the invasion forces in Operation MO, the invasion of Port Moresby, New Guinea, and was sunk by American carrier aircraft on her first combat operation during the Battle of the Coral Sea on 7 May. "Shōhō" was the first Japanese aircraft carrier to be sunk during World War II. Context_4 : Shinano (信濃 ) , was an aircraft carrier built by the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) during World War II, the largest such built up to that time. Laid down in May 1940 as the third of the "Yamato"-class battleship s, "Shinano"' s partially complete hull was ordered to be converted to a carrier following Japan's disastrous loss of four fleet carriers at the Battle of Midway in mid-1942. Context_5 : Joseph Francis Enright (September 18, 1910, Minot, North Dakota – July 20, 2000, Fairfax, Virginia) was a submarine captain in the United States Navy. He is best known as the man who sank the Japanese aircraft carrier "Shinano"–the "most significant single submarine sinking of World War II." Context_6 : The "Yamato"-class battleships (大和型戦艦 , Yamato-gata senkan ) were battleships of the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) constructed and operated during World War II. Displacing 72000 LT at full load, the vessels were the heaviest battleships ever constructed. The class carried the largest naval artillery ever fitted to a warship, nine 460-millimetre (18.1 in) naval guns, each capable of firing 1460 kg shells over 42 km . Two battleships of the class ("Yamato" and "Musashi" ) were completed, while a third ("Shinano" ) was converted to an aircraft carrier during construction. Context_7 : Akagi (Japanese: 赤城 "Red Castle") was an aircraft carrier built for the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN), named after Mount Akagi in present-day Gunma Prefecture. Though she was laid down as an "Amagi"-class battlecruiser , "Akagi" was converted to an aircraft carrier while still under construction to comply with the terms of the Washington Naval Treaty. The ship was rebuilt from 1935 to 1938 with her original three flight decks consolidated into a single enlarged flight deck and an island superstructure. The second Japanese aircraft carrier to enter service, and the first large or "fleet" carrier, "Akagi" figured prominently in the development of the IJN's new carrier striking force doctrine that grouped carriers together, concentrating their air power. This doctrine enabled Japan to attain its strategic goals during the early stages of the Pacific War from December 1941 until mid-1942. Context_8 : Taihō (大鳳 ) (meaning Great Phoenix), was an aircraft carrier of the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II. Possessing heavy belt armor and featuring an armored flight deck (a first for any Japanese aircraft carrier), she represented a major departure in Japanese aircraft carrier design and was expected to not only survive multiple bomb, torpedo, or shell hits, but also continue fighting effectively afterwards. Context_9 : The "Democrația"-class minesweepers were a class of four minesweepers of the Romanian Navy, based on the design of the German M40 minesweeper but with different armament. They were built at the Galați shipyard and launched in 1943, being armed with two German 88 mm naval guns. Work on them was disrupted by the Soviet invasion of Romania in late 1944 and was only resumed in 1949. Two of the ships, renamed "Democrația" and "Descătușarea", were completed in 1954, with "Desrobirea" completed in 1955 and "Dreptatea" in 1956. By 1960, the two German naval guns were replaced by Soviet 85 mm naval guns. The four ships were modernized in 1976, being mounted six AA guns of 37 mm and four machine guns of 14.5 mm, as well as mine launching rails, the ships being able to carry up to 50 mines each. In 1993, the ships were re-designated as corvettes and renamed "Vice-Amiral Mihai Gavrilescu", "Vice-Amiral Ioan Bălănescu", "Vice-Amiral Emil Grescescu" and "Vice-Amiral Ioan Georgescu". Ultimately, the ships were scrapped in 2001. Context_10 : USS "Archerfish" (SS/AGSS-311) was a "Balao"-class submarine. She was the first ship of the United States Navy to be named for the archerfish. "Archerfish" is best known for sinking the Japanese aircraft carrier "Shinano" in November 1944, the largest warship ever sunk by a submarine. For this achievement, she received a Presidential Unit Citation after World War II. fact_1 : Laid down in May 1940 as the third of the "Yamato"-class battleship s, "Shinano"' s partially complete hull was ordered to be converted to a carrier following Japan's disastrous loss of four fleet carriers at the Battle of Midway in mid-1942. fact_2 : The "Yamato"-class battleships (大和型戦艦 , Yamato-gata senkan ) were battleships of the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) constructed and operated during World War II. fact_3 : The class carried the largest naval artillery ever fitted to a warship, nine 460-millimetre (18.1 in) naval guns, each capable of firing 1460 kg shells over 42 km . Question: How many naval guns did these battleships carry, in which the Japanese aircraft carrier Shinano was the third of these battleships? Output:
nine
Answer the following question: Information: - Germany, officially the Federal Republic of Germany, is a federal parliamentary republic in central-western Europe. It includes 16 constituent states, covers an area of , and has a largely temperate seasonal climate. With about 82 million inhabitants, Germany is the most populous member state of the European Union. After the United States, it is the second most popular immigration destination in the world. Germany's capital and largest metropolis is Berlin. Other major cities include Hamburg, Munich, Cologne, Frankfurt, Stuttgart and Düsseldorf. - Geneva (, , , ) is the second most populous city in Switzerland (after Zürich) and is the most populous city of Romandy, the French-speaking part of Switzerland. Situated where the Rhône exits Lake Geneva, it is the capital of the Republic and Canton of Geneva. - France, officially the French Republic, is a country with territory in western Europe and several overseas regions and territories. The European, or metropolitan, area of France extends from the Mediterranean Sea to the English Channel and the North Sea, and from the Rhine to the Atlantic Ocean. Overseas France include French Guiana on the South American continent and several island territories in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans. France spans and had a total population of almost 67 million people as of January 2017. It is a unitary semi-presidential republic with the capital in Paris, the country's largest city and main cultural and commercial centre. Other major urban centres include Marseille, Lyon, Lille, Nice, Toulouse and Bordeaux. - The Swiss Plateau or Central Plateau constitutes one of the three major landscapes in Switzerland alongside the Jura Mountains and the Swiss Alps. It covers about 30% of the Swiss surface. It comprises the regions between the Jura and the Alps, partly flat but mostly hilly, and lies at an average height between 400 and 700 m AMSL. It is by far the most densely populated region of Switzerland, and the most important with respect to economy and transportation. - Europe is a continent that comprises the westernmost part of Eurasia. Europe is bordered by the Arctic Ocean to the north, the Atlantic Ocean to the west, and the Mediterranean Sea to the south. To the east and southeast, Europe is generally considered as separated from Asia by the watershed divides of the Ural and Caucasus Mountains, the Ural River, the Caspian and Black Seas, and the waterways of the Turkish Straits. Yet the non-oceanic borders of Europea concept dating back to classical antiquityare arbitrary. The primarily physiographic term "continent" as applied to Europe also incorporates cultural and political elements whose discontinuities are not always reflected by the continent's current overland boundaries. - Italy, officially the Italian Republic, is a unitary parliamentary republic in Europe. Located in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea, Italy shares open land borders with France, Switzerland, Austria, Slovenia, San Marino and Vatican City. Italy covers an area of and has a largely temperate seasonal climate and Mediterranean climate; due to its shape, it is often referred to in Italy as "lo Stivale" (the Boot). With 61 million inhabitants, it is the fourth most populous EU member state. - Central Europe lies between Eastern Europe and Western Europe. The concept of Central Europe is based on a common historical, social and cultural identity. Central Europe is going through a phase of "strategic awakening", with initiatives such as the CEI, Centrope or V4. While the region's economy shows high disparities with regard to income, all Central European countries are listed by the Human Development Index as very highly developed. - Liechtenstein , officially the Principality of Liechtenstein, is a doubly landlocked German-speaking microstate in Central Europe. It is a constitutional monarchy with the rank of principality, headed by the Prince of Liechtenstein. - TechnoMarine watches reflect the exciting history of a new but already firmly - established watch - making company .

In 2005 , TechnoMarine presented a colorful collection of timepieces called the Technodiamond Chrono Ceramic . The research and development of the colored ceramic bracelets took two years to be completed as ceramic is quite difficult to work with that results in a higher rejection rate . TechnoMarine creations are embellishing the wrists of their loyal fans , among which there are such diverse... - A chronograph is a specific type of watch that is used as a stopwatch combined with a display watch. A basic chronograph has an independent sweep second hand; it can be started, stopped, and returned to zero by successive pressure on the stem. Less simple chronographs use additional complications and can have multiple independent hands to measure seconds, minutes, hours and even tenths of a second. In addition, many modern chronographs use moveable bezels as tachymeters for rapid calculations of speed or distance. Louis Moinet invented the chronograph in 1816 for use in tracking astronomical objects. Chronographs were also used heavily in artillery fire in the mid to late 1800s. More modern uses of chronographs involve piloting airplanes, car racing, diving and submarine maneuvering. - The city of Bern or Berne (; Bernese German: "Bärn" ) is the de facto capital of Switzerland, referred to by the Swiss as their (e.g. in German) "Bundesstadt," or "federal city". With a population of 141,762 (November 2016), Bern is the fourth most populous city in Switzerland. The Bern agglomeration, which includes 36 municipalities, had a population of 406,900 in 2014. The metropolitan area had a population of 660,000 in 2000. Bern is also the capital of the canton of Bern, the second most populous of Switzerland's cantons. - Switzerland, officially the Swiss Confederation, is a federal republic in Europe. It consists of 26 cantons, and the city of Bern is the seat of the federal authorities. The country is situated in Western-Central Europe, and is bordered by Italy to the south, France to the west, Germany to the north, and Austria and Liechtenstein to the east. Switzerland is a landlocked country geographically divided between the Alps, the Swiss Plateau and the Jura, spanning an area of . While the Alps occupy the greater part of the territory, the Swiss population of approximately eight million people is concentrated mostly on the plateau, where the largest cities are to be found: among them are the two global cities and economic centres Zürich and Geneva. - The Alps are the highest and most extensive mountain range system that lies entirely in Europe, stretching approximately across eight Alpine countries: Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Slovenia, and Switzerland. The mountains were formed over tens of millions of years as the African and Eurasian tectonic plates collided. Extreme shortening caused by the event resulted in marine sedimentary rocks rising by thrusting and folding into high mountain peaks such as Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn. Mont Blanc spans the FrenchItalian border, and at is the highest mountain in the Alps. The Alpine region area contains about a hundred peaks higher than 4000 metres (just over 13,000 feet). - Louis Moinet (1768 - 1853), inventor of the chronograph, was born into a prosperous family of farmers in Bourges, France, was a French horologist, sculptor and painter. - Artillery is a class of large military weapons built to fire munitions far beyond the range and power of infantry's small arms. Early artillery development focused on the ability to breach fortifications, and led to heavy, fairly immobile siege engines. As technology improved, lighter, more mobile field artillery developed for battlefield use. This development continues today; modern self-propelled artillery vehicles are highly mobile weapons of great versatility providing the largest share of an army's total firepower. After reading the paragraphs above, choose the best answer for the entity that related to 'technomarine' with the relationship of 'headquarters location'.

In this task, you will be shown a conversation and a question. You need to write an implausible answer to the question. Even though there exist multiple wrong answers, we only need a single wrong answer. "W" and "M" in the conversations stand for "woman" and "man". Ex Input: W: You know. I called you several times last week, but nobody answered the phone. M: Well, I was in Sydney at that time. W: Did you go there on business? M: No, I visited my aunt and her family., Question: What can we learn from the conversation? Ex Output: The man took a business trip to Sydney last week. Ex Input: Jack: Peter, people around the world come to America to live, work and study, so to understand America in terms of its cultural differences is very important. Peter: I couldn't agree with you more, Jack. Americans are much more assertive than most foreigners. For example, Americans begin a discussion with a focus on accomplishments and concrete facts. Jack: You're right. America is a rather individualistic society, with less social pressure to conform. So you will need to become more assertive and to speak out on your own behalf. Peter: Another aspect of American behavior is Americans are more guarded about personal space. So when you are talking to an American, don't stay too close. This personal distance is not due to body odor or bad breath, but because closeness lends a sense of intimacy that is out of proportion to the relationship at the moment. Jack: Yes. Also, try to avoid physical contact while you are speaking. Touching is a bit too intimate for casual acquaintances. So don't put your arm around their shoulder, touch their face, or hold their hand. Shaking hands when you initially meet or part is acceptable, but this is only momentary. Peter: In many cultures, eye contact is a sign of disrespect, which is not the ease in America. In fact, it is an indication of openness, honesty, and enthusiasm., Question: According to Peter, eye contact is not an indication of ______. Ex Output: openness Ex Input: W: Wow, look at all these old books on this shelf. They've got to be at least one hundred years old. I'll bet they're worth a lot to collectors. M: Well. They've got a lot of sentimental value for me, and that's all about it., Question: What does the man mean? Ex Output:
He plans to sell the books to a collector.
In this task, you're given an article and an answer. Your task is to generate the question for the answer based on the given article. [EX Q]: Article: A powerful earthquake struck the northeastern coast of Japan at two forty-six p.m. local time on March eleventh.2011. Japan's Meteorological Agency released its first tsunami warnings just three minutes later. The country has one of the best earthquake early warning systems in the world. There are more than four thousand Seismic Intensity Meters in place throughout Japan to measure earthquake activity. These meters provide information within two minutes of an earthquake happening. Information about the strength and the center of the earthquake can be learned within three minutes. There are also concrete sea walls around much of the Japanese coastline. But these measures proved no match for the powerful earthquake and tsunami. Costas Synolakis ,a tsunami expert at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles said,"Japan is one of those most well-prepared countries on earth in terms of tsunami warning. They had a warning. I think what went wrong is that they had not expected the size of this event." He says there are two reasons for this. Japan has not had any event anywhere near as big as this one in the last one hundred fifty years. And scientists had not expected such a large earthquake happening off the coast of Japan. The nine point zero magnitude earthquake was the fourth most powerful earthquake ever recorded worldwide. It was also the worst earthquake ever to hit Japan. The tsunami waves that followed were reported to have reached as high as thirteen meters in some areas. Costas Synolakis says Japan's concrete sea walls were not built to handle such high waves. Experts say early warning systems will continue to be limited by these facts until earthquakes and tsunamis can be predicted Answer: A newspaper [EX A]: Where can this passage probably be adapted from? [EX Q]: Article: Children and teenagers who spend lots of time in front of screens-especially TVs-are easier to get more weight as they age .according to a new study. The findings agree with research suggesting all that inactive sitting and always watching advertisements may lead to poor eating habits. Researchers used results from a long-term study of children Who took surveys every other year. Children were between ages 9 and 16 when the study started. Out of 4,300 girls in the Study. 17 percent were overweight or obese .Twenty-four percent of the 3 .500 boys were also above a healthy weight The surveys included questions about their height and weight as well as how much time they spent watching TV and DVDs and playing computer and video games. From one survey to the next, each one-hour increase in children's daily TV watching was in connection with an increase of about 0.1 points on a body mass index(BMI) , which measures weight in connection with height. That's a difference of about half a pound per extra hour of TV. "The weight of the evidence is so strong that television watching is connected with unhealthy changes in weight among youth,"says Jennifer Falbe . Who led the study while at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston. "It's important for parents to know all the obesity-causing screens that really should be limited in their children's lives, Falbe says. " When children watch TV. There are many food advertisements on TV that might lead them to eat a cookie or drink a soft drink. " What's mare .she says . " You can get into a hibernating state on the sofa. Even if children are sitting down while playing a computer game. for example. they might be a bit more active." Answer: Too much screen time leads to obesity. [EX A]: Which of the following statements can be the best title for the text? [EX Q]: Article: Until the twentieth century cigarettes were not an important threat to public health. Men used tobacco mainly in the form of cigars. They chewed tobacco, piped tobacco, and snuffed. Most women did not use tobacco at all. The cigarette industry began in 1870s with the development of the cigarette manufacturing machine. This made it possible to produce great numbers of cigarettes very quickly, and it reduced the price. Today cigarette smoking is a widespread habit. About forty-three percent of the adult men and thirty-one percent of the adult women in the United States smoke cigarettes regularly. It is encouraging to note, however, that millions of people have quit smoking. Seventy-five percent of the male population and forty-six percent of the female population have smoked cigarettes for some time during their lives, but twenty-six percent of these men and eleven percent of the women have stopped smoking. The number of persons who have given up smoking is increasing. Men as a group smoke more than women. Among both men and women the age group with the highest proportion of smokers is the age group 24--44. Income, education, and occupation all play a part in determining a person's smoking habit. City people smoke more than people living on farms. Well-educated men with high incomes are less likely to smoke cigarettes than men with fewer years of schooling and lower incomes. On the other hand, if a well-educated man with a higher income smokes, he's likely to smoke more packs of cigarettes per day. The situation is somewhat different for women. There are slightly more smokers among women with higher family incomes and higher education than among the lower income and lower educational groups. These more highly educated women tend to smoke more heavily. Among teenagers the _ is similar. There are fewer teenager smokers from upper-income, well-educated families, and also fewer from families living in farm areas. High school students who are preparing for college are less likely to smoke than those who don't plan to continue their education after high school. Children are most likely to start smoking if one or both of their parents smoke. Answer: The group of old people. [EX A]:

Extract the answer to the question from the following context. Question: What did Darwin theorize? Context: Evolution had less obvious applications to anatomy and morphology, and at first had little impact on the research of the anatomist Thomas Henry Huxley. Despite this, Huxley strongly supported Darwin on evolution; though he called for experiments to show whether natural selection could form new species, and questioned if Darwin's gradualism was sufficient without sudden leaps to cause speciation. Huxley wanted science to be secular, without religious interference, and his article in the April 1860 Westminster Review promoted scientific naturalism over natural theology, praising Darwin for "extending the domination of Science over regions of thought into which she has, as yet, hardly penetrated" and coining the term "Darwinism" as part of his efforts to secularise and professionalise science. Huxley gained influence, and initiated the X Club, which used the journal Nature to promote evolution and naturalism, shaping much of late Victorian science. Later, the German morphologist Ernst Haeckel would convince Huxley that comparative anatomy and palaeontology could be used to reconstruct evolutionary genealogies. ---- Answer: Evolution Q: Extract the answer to the question from the following context. Question: What sparked the protests? Context: The Stonewall riots were a series of spontaneous, violent demonstrations by members of the gay community against a police raid that took place in the early morning hours of June 28, 1969, at the Stonewall Inn in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Lower Manhattan. They are widely considered to constitute the single most important event leading to the gay liberation movement and the modern fight for LGBT rights in the United States. A: a police raid that took place in the early morning hours of June 28, 1969, at the Stonewall Inn in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Lower Manhattan Question: Extract the answer to the question from the following context.

Both universities are members of the Group of Eight, a coalition of leading Australian tertiary institutions offering comprehensive and leading education. Answer: QS ranking [Q]: Extract the answer to the question from the following context. Question: What kind of fighting do battleships do? Context: The aircraft carrier dramatically changed naval combat in World War II, because air power was becoming a significant factor in warfare. The advent of aircraft as focal weapons was driven by the superior range, flexibility and effectiveness of carrier-launched aircraft. They had higher range and precision than naval guns, making them highly effective. The versatility of the carrier was demonstrated in November 1940 when HMS Illustrious launched a long-range strike on the Italian fleet at their base in Taranto, signalling the beginning of the effective and highly mobile aircraft strikes. This operation incapacitated three of the six battleships at a cost of two torpedo bombers. World War II in the Pacific Ocean involved clashes between aircraft carrier fleets. The 1941 Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor was a clear illustration of the power projection capability afforded by a large force of modern carriers. Concentrating six carriers in a single unit turned naval history about, as no other nation had fielded anything comparable. However, the vulnerability of carriers compared to traditional battleships when forced into a gun-range encounter was quickly illustrated by the sinking of HMS Glorious by German battleships during the Norwegian campaign in 1940. **** [A]: naval combat input: Please answer the following: Extract the answer to the question from the following context.

Question: What gives us insight to the evolution of birds? Context: The fossil record indicates that birds are the last surviving dinosaurs, having evolved from feathered ancestors within the theropod group of saurischian dinosaurs. True birds first appeared during the Cretaceous period, around 100 million years ago. DNA-based evidence finds that birds diversified dramatically around the time of the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event that killed off all other dinosaurs. Birds in South America survived this event and then migrated to other parts of the world via multiple land bridges while diversifying during periods of global cooling. Primitive bird-like dinosaurs that lie outside class Aves proper, in the broader group Avialae, have been found dating back to the mid-Jurassic period. Many of these early "stem-birds", such as Archaeopteryx, were not yet capable of fully powered flight, and many retained primitive characteristics like toothy jaws in place of beaks, and long bony tails. ---- Answer:
DNA-based evidence

Detailed Instructions: In this task, you're given an article and an answer. Your task is to generate the question for the answer based on the given article. Problem:Article: While other stars her age are partying at clubs, Selena Gomez takes the time out of her day to help those less fortunate. She has been such an impressive role model for younger generations that the 20-year-old Disney star was named Woman of the Year by US magazine Glamour this month, in recognition of her successful career and her charity work. An actress since the age of 7, Gomez has grown up on screen. She rose from the Disney Channel popular series Wizards of Waverly Place to hit movies like Monte Carlo (2011) to this year's comedy Hotel Transylvania. She is also no stranger to the music industry thanks to her band, Selena Gomez & The Scene. "Honestly, the feeling, if I can be selfish for a little bit, just makes me feel so good to be able to make kids smile... and educate them about what's happening in the world," she told the Associated Press. When she was 17, Gomez became the youngest goodwill ambassador of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). She has worked hard ever since. Over the past few years, she has traveled to poor countries such as Congo, Ghana and Chile to promote environmentally friendly behavior and help raise awareness about violence. Mature for her age, Gomez has a good handle on the problems facing the world's youth and is an outspoken advocate for change. Last month, she stepped up to show support for a 15-year-old Pakistani girl, Malala Yousafzai. Yousafzai was shot because of her fight for the right for females to have an education in her country. Sad about the story, Gomez wanted to make a difference. Changing her Facebook page icon to Yousafzai's face, she shared more stories about the girl and encouraged her fans to spread Yousafzai's message of females' right to an education. Her UNICEF work continues to highlight that 67 million school-age kids around the world are not in school, and that girls are less likely to enroll in school than boys. Gomez encourages her fans to donate to UNICEF's school programs in Pakistan. Praising Gomez's charity work, her friend Taylor Swift tells Glamour, "She's giving back to people who need help." Answer: Because of her successful career and her charity work. Solution:
Why was Gomez named Woman of the Year?

He repeatedly calls on his followers to embrace martyrdom since "The walls of oppression and humiliation cannot be demolished except in a rain of bullets." For those yearning for a lost sense of order in an older, more tranquil world, he offers his "Caliphate" as an imagined alternative to today's uncertainty. For others, he offers simplistic conspiracies to explain their world. Bin Laden also relies heavily on the Egyptian writer Sayyid Qutb. A member of the Muslim Brotherhood executed in 1966 on charges of attempting to overthrow the government, Qutb mixed Islamic scholarship with a very superficial acquaintance with Western history and thought. Sent by the Egyptian government to study in the United States in the late 1940s, Qutb returned with an enormous loathing of Western society and history. He dismissed Western achievements as entirely material, arguing that Western society possesses "nothing that will satisfy its own conscience and justify its existence." Three basic themes emerge from Qutb's writings. First, he claimed that the world was beset with barbarism, licentiousness, and unbelief (a condition he called jahiliyya, the religious term for the period of ignorance prior to the revelations given to the Prophet Mohammed). Qutb argued that humans can choose only between Islam and jahiliyya. Second, he warned that more people, including Muslims, were attracted to jahiliyya and its material comforts than to his view of Islam; jahiliyya could therefore triumph over Islam. Third, no middle ground exists in what Qutb conceived as a struggle between God and Satan. All Muslims-as he defined them-therefore must take up arms in this fight. Any Muslim who rejects his ideas is just one more nonbeliever worthy of destruction. Bin Laden shares Qutb's stark view, permitting him and his followers to rationalize even unprovoked mass murder as righteous defense of an embattled faith. Many Americans have wondered, "Why do 'they' hate us?" Some also ask, "What can we do to stop these attacks?" Bin Laden and al Qaeda have given answers to both these questions. Question: "What does Sayyid Qutb offer to those who espouse his writings?" Answer: ""All Muslims-as he defined them-therefore must take up arms in this fight."" Is this answer to the question correct?
yes

Ques:U.S. lawmakers grilled Trump administration officials Tuesday about the war in Afghanistan, saying the new White House strategy was inconsistent and was not producing results. The comments made at a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing reflected growing frustration in Congress about the U.S.-led war, which is entering its 17th year. ​As recently as November, General John Nicholson, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, acknowledged that the conflict remained a stalemate. Since then, a wave of high-profile insurgent attacks have rocked the capital, Kabul. The Taliban now controls or contests almost half the country, according to latest U.S. estimates. Despite the setbacks, U.S. Deputy Secretary of State John Sullivan, who is helping oversee the new White House strategy, gave a positive assessment of the conflict. "The president's South Asia strategy is showing some signs of progress," Sullivan said. "On the battlefield, we are seeing the Taliban's momentum begin to slow." But lawmakers from both parties expressed skepticism. "Something is clearly not working," said Senator Ben Cardin, a Maryland Democrat and longtime Afghan war critic. "By any standard, the current security situation is grim." Some lawmakers took aim at President Donald Trump, who last week said he didn't want to talk with the Taliban — a statement that seemingly contradicted his own strategy. After Sullivan and a top Pentagon official told the lawmakers that the U.S. was in fact still open to negotiations with the Taliban, lawmakers pressed for more details. "You can see that the world and those involved in the peace process may be pretty confused about what the U.S. position is. What is it?" asked Senator Chris Murphy, a Connecticut Democrat. Sullivan said he thought Trump was expressing a reaction to last month's terrorist attacks, and was pointing out that "significant elements of the Taliban are not prepared to negotiate." "And it may take a long time before they are willing to negotiate," he added. But many in the Senate appear... Question: At the end of this story, Trump is probably: Options: A. unwilling to handle the Taliban. B. going to address the Pentagon. C. not enough information D. appointing a different general. === The correct answer is Ans:A ----- Ques:I already gave this example in another post but I think it was a really interesting situation with an interesting outcome so I’m going to repeat it. When I was 21 years old I produced a play. It was actually my second. The first was really successful. With the second I bit off a lot more than I could chew and I got too big for my britches and I ended up with a sprawling money eating disaster that caused me to have to move to a poor part of town and to go to court with my publicist and to be in debt for a couple of years. I could have absolutely let this ruin me and discourage me. And I realized this was a very delicate situation for my creativity and my sense of hope for the future. So I said to myself one day, “let me take a walk to the park and have this situation out with myself once and for all.” Two blocks from my house was this wonderful neo classical park with beautiful stairs leading from level to level. I walked up and down the stairs and basically said to myself “this was a failure. I am having a failure experience. But I have a choice of how I look at this. And the big Takeaway for me with this experience is that I have talent and there is a big creative future for me. And I have hope. I have to slow down. I have to make sure I don’t get ahead of myself. I definitely have to clean up this mess and be patient for however long it takes . But bottom line the big take away from this experience is that I have talent and I have a future and I have Hope.” It was one of the most amazing moments I’ve ever had with myself. There are about 100 other experiences in my life where I wish I had had a conversation like this. This one was a treasure. Question: What is his line of work? Options: A. Producing plays B. not enough information C. Directing D. Acting === The correct answer is Ans:A ----- Ques:One of the challenges that every community faces, particularly teams inside a larger community, is the ability to coordinate what goals and ambitions the team is going to work on. Traditionally this has always been somewhat ad-hoc: people join a team and work on whatever they feel like. Ideas are ten-a-penny though. For most teams that work on larger projects (such as events, software, products and more) to actually be productive, coordinating this work can be complex: some projects require coordination across many people with different skill-sets, time-availability and resources. Something I would like us to work towards in the Ubuntu community is encouraging a culture of best-practise in how we plan our work and coordinate our awesome teams to work together on projects. I believe this kind of coordination can help our teams increase the opportunity for success in their work, feel more empowered and productive and provide greater insight to people outside those teams on what the team is doing. An effective way of doing this is to build a Roadmap for each cycle. This provides an opportunity to capture a set of goals the team will work together to achieve in each six-month period. This article outlines how to build such a Roadmap. While at first a roadmap can feel a little like a nod to the gods of bureaucracy, they actually possess many benefits: * Direction – one of the biggest complaints teams often report is a lack of direction. If a team gets into the habit of creating a roadmap at the beginning of a cycle, it gives the team a sense of focus and direction for the coming cycle. * Documented commitments are more effective – a common rule in Project Management training is that actions assigned to people in a shared document are more effective than ad-hoc or private commitments. By documenting who will work on what in a cycle and putting their name next to an action can help seal a sense of accountability for their contributions to the project. * Feeling of success – regularly revisiting a roadmap and... Question: When should we build a Roadmap Options: A. At the beginning of each cycle B. After each cycle C. After the six month-period D. not enough information === The correct answer is Ans:

Q:Given the background: Compared to conventional milk production, organic milk production tends to have lower eutrophication potential per ton of milk or per hectare of farmland, because it potentially reduces leaching of nitrates (NO3−) and phosphates (PO4−) due to lower fertilizer application rates. Because organic milk production reduces pesticides utilization, it increases land use per ton of milk due to decreased crop yields per hectare. Mainly due to the lower level of concentrates given to cows in organic herds, organic dairy farms generally produce less milk per cow than conventional dairy farms. Because of the increased use of roughage and the, on-average, lower milk production level per cow, some research has connected organic milk production with increases in the emission of methane.Animal welfare issues vary among dairy farms and are not necessarily related to the way of producing milk (organically or conventionally). and the situation: Jimmy is currently shopping at his local grocery store during his weekly trip to get food and other necessities. He first picks up some frozen pizzas, his favorite meal when he is feeling lazy after work, and then stops off to pick up a loaf of bread. He then walks over to the dairy section to pick up some cheese for his lunches. Jimmy never buys milk, but today he has a sudden urge to get some. He walks over to the milk refrigerators and looks at all the options. He is currently debating between two brands, Luchene and Jean's. While trying to decide, he notices a sticker on the Luchene gallon that says "organic," but is unable to find any such indication on the gallon of Jean's milk. After asking an employee, it is confirmed that Jean's is not organic milk. Unable to make up his mind, Jimmy simply leaves without buying any milk. Answer the following question: Which brand of milk has lower eutrophication potential per hectare of farmland? A:
Luchene

Question: I know that the answer to the question "What practice, in the faith of those who follow the man formerly known as Siddhartha Gautama, serves to help the adherent control pecuniary lust?" is in "Buddhist schools vary on the exact nature of the path to liberation, the importance and canonicity of various teachings and scriptures, and especially their respective practices. Buddhism denies a creator deity and posits that mundane deities such as Mahabrahma are misperceived to be a creator. The foundations of Buddhist tradition and practice are the Three Jewels: the Buddha, the Dharma (the teachings), and the Sangha (the community). Taking "refuge in the triple gem" has traditionally been a declaration and commitment to being on the Buddhist path, and in general distinguishes a Buddhist from a non-Buddhist. Other practices are Ten Meritorious Deeds including, giving charity to reduce the greediness; following ethical precepts; renouncing conventional living and becoming a monastic; the development of mindfulness and practice of meditation; cultivation of higher wisdom and discernment; study of scriptures; devotional practices; ceremonies; and in the Mahayana tradition, invocation of buddhas and bodhisattvas.". Can you tell me what it is? Answer:
giving charity
Given a document, generate a short title of the document. The title should convey the main idea/event/topic about which the document is being written. Note that URLs in the text have been replaced with [Link]. [EX Q]: Here is your lifeline Washington Nationals. We have gone from theory to reality in 24 hours. Joe Girardi no longer manages the New York Yankees. There is one potential managerial candidate who represents an obvious upgrade from Dusty Baker both in the near term and long range. He is Joseph Elliott Girardi . Go get him . If the Nationals — and by “the Nationals” here we are speaking of the Lerner family which owns the team — even are going to consider Girardi they have to go in with two things wide open: their eyes and their wallet. Baker whom they didn’t invite back felt he was woefully underpaid at $2 million annually and the main reason he is no longer here anymore is because his contract was only for two years. Those two years expired the Lerners had no further financial commitment there was some ham-handedness in both public relations and game management in the division series against the Cubs and so he ’s gone. [ Girardi made sense for the Nats even before the Yankees let him go] Girardi isn’t coming here for any two years and $4 million. His last contract with the Yankees the one that expired following this year was for twice that — four years and $16 million. There’s your starting point. If you want him Mr. Lerner be prepared to value the position of manager more than you have at any point in the past. Take a number you’re comfortable with — and triple it. Joe Maddon hadn’t won a World Series when he agreed to a five-year deal worth a reported $25 million. Could Girardi ask for such a sum? Sure. We don’t yet know that Girardi will require that or that the Nationals will even inquire about Girardi ’s needs. But logic tells you General Manager Mike Rizzo who did not return a message Thursday has to reach out. Follow that logic further and Rizzo has the toughest sell job of his career to his own bosses. If Rizzo calls Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman and gets a favorable report on Girardi — and given their long run together why wouldn’t he ? — and the rest of Rizzo’s reporting reveals no red flags then he must present a case to ownership that what they have before them is an opportunity. Forget the money it will cost. Consider it found money. Girardi ’s side is important in this too. On Thursday in the hours after the Yankees announced they would not bring him back a person close to the (now former) manager said the situation was too “fresh ” and we couldn’t yet analyze whether Girardi would want to move on to the Nationals — or anywhere else — immediately. But we do know a bit more about Girardi ’s state of mind than we did at the end of the American League Championship Series when he said he would have to consult with his family — his wife and three children live in South Florida — before deciding whether he could be all-in as a manager again. On Thursday Girardi issued a statement that thanked just about everybody in the Yankee organization. But it opened with this: “With a heavy heart I come to you because the Yankees have decided not to bring me back.” Sounds like someone who was ready to reload for another run. He just needed to be asked. One reasonable question Girardi would have — and one that once a manager is in place could hang over the entire 2018 season — is: Who would I be working for? Not next year but down the line. Rizzo’s contract runs only through 2018. He and his front office built the team that won four division titles in six years and is poised to contend again. If he convinces Girardi to come here and convinces the Lerners to pay for him wouldn’t another extension be in line for the general manager? A final piece: At 53 Girardi is too young to really be into evaluating his “legacy.” But here is a list of managers who have won World Series titles with two franchises: Sparky Anderson who did it in Cincinnati and Detroit and Tony La Russa who did it in Oakland and St. Louis. Short list. Everyone on it is in the Hall of Fame. If Girardi wins another World Series he joins that group. Could he do it in Washington? The Nationals have stated that’s the only goal that matters. A manager who has done it is now available. [EX A]: Joe Girardi to the Nationals? The question is no longer theoretical.

Question: WASHINGTON — U.S. President Barack Obama has shortened the sentences of 214 inmates of U.S. federal prisons, in what the White House called the largest batch of commutations on a single day in more than a century. The early release is part of Obama's effort to correct what he views as unreasonably long mandatory minimum sentences. The president's push to lessen the burden on nonviolent drug offenders reflects his long-stated view that the nation should remedy the consequences of decades of onerous sentencing rules, which have put tens of thousands of Americans behind bars for far too long. Among those affected by Wednesday's presidential order were 67 individuals serving life sentences - almost all for nonviolent drug crimes, although a few also were charged with firearms violations related to their drug activities. To date, Obama has granted 562 commutations, more than the previous nine presidents combined, and more clemency actions that by any other president in nearly a century. White House counsel Neil Eggleston said in the White House blog that Obama examines each clemency application on its specific merits to identify the appropriate relief, including whether the prisoner would be helped by additional drug treatment, educational programs or counseling. Presidents tend to use their powers to commute sentences or issue pardons more frequently near the end of their terms of office. Administration officials said the rapid pace will continue before Obama's leaves the White House in January 2017. "We are not done yet," Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates said. "We expect that many more men and women will be given a second chance through the clemency initiative." Obama has long called for phasing out strict sentences for drug offenses, arguing they lead to excessive punishment and incarceration rates unseen in other developed countries. With presidential support, the Justice Department in recent years has directed prosecutors to rein in the use of harsh mandatory minimums. Eggleston once again called on... Question: The prisoners probably what? Options: A. not enough information B. Appreciated the shortened sentences. C. Actually wanted to stay in jail. D. Bribed Obama for the commutations. === The correct answer is Answer:
B
Given the question: Information: - The United States Navy (USN) is the naval warfare service branch of the United States Armed Forces and one of the seven uniformed services of the United States. The U.S. Navy is the largest, most capable navy in the world, with the highest combined battle fleet tonnage. The U.S. Navy has the world's largest aircraft carrier fleet, with ten in service, two in the reserve fleet, and three new carriers under construction. The service has 323,792 personnel on active duty and 108,515 in the Navy Reserve. It has 274 deployable combat vessels and more than 3,700 aircraft in active service . - The Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN; Kyjitai: Shinjitai: "" or "Nippon Kaigun", "Navy of the Greater Japanese Empire") was the navy of the Empire of Japan from 1868 until 1945, when it was dissolved following Japan's defeat and surrender in World War II. It was controlled by the Imperial Japanese Navy General Staff and the Ministry of the Navy, both of which were nominally subordinate to the Emperor of Japan as supreme commander of the army and the navy. The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) was formed after the dissolution of the IJN. - Frank Jack Fletcher (April 29, 1885 April 25, 1973) was an admiral in the United States Navy during World War II. Fletcher was the operational commander at the pivotal Battles of Coral Sea and of Midway. As a lieutenant, Fletcher was awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions in battle at Veracruz. He was the nephew of Admiral Frank Friday Fletcher, who was also awarded the Medal of Honor for actions at Veracruz. - The United States of America has seven federal uniformed services that commission officers as defined by Title 10, and subsequently structured and organized by Title 10, Title 14, Title 32 and Title 42 of the United States Code. - World War II (often abbreviated to WWII or WW2), also known as the Second World War, was a global war that lasted from 1939 to 1945, although related conflicts began earlier. It involved the vast majority of the world's nationsincluding all of the great powerseventually forming two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis. It was the most widespread war in history, and directly involved more than 100 million people from over 30 countries. In a state of "total war", the major participants threw their entire economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities behind the war effort, erasing the distinction between civilian and military resources. Marked by mass deaths of civilians, including the Holocaust (in which approximately 11 million people were killed) and the strategic bombing of industrial and population centres (in which approximately one million were killed, and which included the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki), it resulted in an estimated 50 million to 85 million fatalities. These made World War II the deadliest conflict in human history. - Raymond Ames Spruance (July 3, 1886 December 13, 1969) was a United States Navy admiral in World War II. - The Battle of Midway was a decisive naval battle in the Pacific Theater of World War II. Between 4 and 7 June 1942, only six months after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor and one month after the Battle of the Coral Sea, the United States Navy under Admirals Chester Nimitz, Frank Jack Fletcher, and Raymond A. Spruance decisively defeated an attacking fleet of the Imperial Japanese Navy under Admirals Isoroku Yamamoto, Chuichi Nagumo, and Nobutake Kondo near Midway Atoll, inflicting devastating damage on the Japanese fleet that proved irreparable. Military historian John Keegan called it "the most stunning and decisive blow in the history of naval warfare." - Hiroshima is perhaps best known as the first city in history to be targeted by a nuclear weapon when the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) dropped an atomic bomb on the city (and later on Nagasaki) at 8:15 a.m. on August 6, 1945, near the end of World War II. - Midway Atoll (also called Midway Island and Midway Islands; Hawaiian: "Pihemanu Kauihelani") is a atoll in the North Pacific Ocean at . As its name suggests, Midway is roughly equidistant between North America and Asia. Midway Atoll is an unorganized, unincorporated territory of the United States. Midway continues to be the only island in the Hawaiian archipelago that is not part of the state of Hawaii. Unlike the other Hawaiian islands, Midway observes Samoa Time (i.e., eleven hours behind Coordinated Universal Time), which is one hour behind the time in the state of Hawaii. For statistical purposes, Midway is grouped as one of the United States Minor Outlying Islands. The Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge, encompassing of land and water (mostly water) in the surrounding area, is administered by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). The refuge and most of its surrounding area are part of the larger Papahnaumokukea Marine National Monument. - Pearl Harbor is a lagoon harbor on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, west of Honolulu. Much of the harbor and surrounding lands is a United States Navy deep-water naval base. It is also the headquarters of the United States Pacific Fleet. The U.S. government first obtained exclusive use of the inlet and the right to maintain a repair and coaling station for ships here in 1887. The attack on Pearl Harbor by the Empire of Japan on December 7, 1941 was the immediate cause of the United States' entry into World War II. - The Holocaust (from the Greek ': "hólos", "whole" and "kaustós", "burnt"), also referred to as the Shoah"' (Hebrew: , "HaShoah", "the catastrophe"), was a genocide in which Adolf Hitler's Nazi Germany and its collaborators killed about six million Jews. The victims included 1.5 million children and represented about two-thirds of the nine million Jews who had resided in Europe. Some definitions of the Holocaust include the additional five million non-Jewish victims of Nazi mass murders, bringing the total to about 11 million. Killings took place throughout Nazi Germany, German-occupied territories, and territories held by allies of Nazi Germany. - The United States Marine Corps (USMC) is a branch of the United States Armed Forces responsible for providing power projection, using the mobility of the United States Navy, by Congressional mandate, to deliver rapidly, combined-arms task forces on land, at sea, and in the air. The U.S. Marine Corps is one of the four armed service branches in the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and one of the seven uniformed services of the United States. The current Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the highest-ranking military officer in the U.S. armed forces, is a Marine Corps general. - During World War II, the American atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki made Nagasaki the second and, to date, last city in the world to experience a nuclear attack. - Yamamoto held several important posts in the Imperial Japanese Navy, and undertook many of its changes and reorganizations, especially its development of naval aviation. He was the commander-in-chief during the decisive early years of the Pacific War and so was responsible for major battles such as Pearl Harbor and Midway. He died when American codebreakers identified his flight plans and his plane was shot down. His death was a major blow to Japanese military morale during World War II. - The attack on Pearl Harbor, also known as the Battle of Pearl Harbor, the Hawaii Operation or Operation AI by the Japanese Imperial General Headquarters, and Operation Z during planning, was a surprise military strike by the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service against the United States naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii Territory, on the morning of December 7, 1941. The attack led to the United States' entry into World War II. - The United States dropped nuclear weapons on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and 9, 1945, respectively, during the final stage of World War II. The United States had dropped the bombs with the consent of the United Kingdom as outlined in the Quebec Agreement. The two bombings, which killed at least 129,000 people, remain the only use of nuclear weapons for warfare in history. - Sir John Desmond Patrick Keegan (15 May 1934 2 August 2012) was a British military historian, lecturer, writer and journalist. He was the author of many published works on the nature of combat between the 14th and 21st centuries concerning land, air, maritime, and intelligence warfare, as well as the psychology of battle. - A military alliance is an international agreement concerning national security, when the contracting parties promise to support each other in case of a crisis that has not been identified in advance. Military alliances differ from coalitions, as coalitions are formed for a crisis that are already known. - The Battle of the Coral Sea, fought during 48 May 1942, was a major naval battle in the Pacific Theater of World War II between the Imperial Japanese Navy and naval and air forces from the United States and Australia. The battle was the first action in which aircraft carriers engaged each other, as well as the first in which neither side's ships sighted or fired directly upon the other. - Lofton R. Henderson ( May 24 , 1903 -- June 4 , 1942 ) was a marine aviator in the United States Marine Corps during World War II. He was the Commanding Officer of Marine Scout Bombing Squadron 241 ( VMSB - 241 ) at the Battle of Midway and is recognized as the first Marine Aviator to die during that battle while leading his squadron to attack the Japanese carrier forces . What entity does 'lofton r. henderson' has the relation 'place of death' with? The answer is:
pacific ocean
Choose from: + She wanted to see what a $8000 house looks like; + To see a house that was bought during the Great Depresson; + She had never been before despite her multiple trips to Key West; + not enough information; I’ve been to Key West several times, but for some inexplicable reason 1, I never visited the Hemingway House (or the Truman Little White House 2 for that matter but that’s a topic for a different post). As expected, it was about 1,000 degrees there (Celsius or Fahrenheit, you pick – either way, that’s way too hot). Welcome to Florida in July. 😀 We would have melted completely but fortunately, the house was air conditioned and they had some fans outside. I really wanted to see a few of the polydactyl cats 3 who live there and sure enough, there are plenty roaming around the place – and by “roaming”, I mean laying around sleeping as cats do. Cats normally have 4 toes on their back feet and 5 on the front but these polydactyl cats mostly have 5 on the back and 6 on the front, thanks to a genetic mutation. Their front paws are noticeably larger and look like they have mittens on. In addition to extra toes, they also have cat condos, complete with shutters on the windows for decorative purposes to match the main house and there are tiny cat houses scattered around the property for shelter and privacy. And if that’s not enough, they have free reign over the main house too and clearly don’t read the signs that say not to sit or lay on the furniture. These cats have a good deal. Hemingway bought this enormous home sitting on prime real estate for a whopping $8,000 back in the early 1930s in the middle of the Great Depression. At 16 feet above sea level, it sits on the second-highest point on the island and was the first house to have indoor plumbing and a swimming pool. Today, it serves as a historical site, tourist attraction, and most ironically, a wedding venue. It’s a gorgeous piece of property but I’m not sure that getting married at the home of a serial philanderer who had 4 marriages and 3 divorces is exactly a good omen. Question: Why was the author excited to visit the Ernest Hemingway house? === The answer to the above question is Answer:
She had never been before despite her multiple trips to Key West

Instructions: In this task, you are given a passage and a question regarding that passage. You must determine whether or not the question is answerable from the given passage. If a question is answerable, output should be 'True', otherwise 'False'. You must not consider any other information that is not provided in the passage while labelling True or False. Input: Passage: Another example of scientific research which suggests that previous estimates by the IPCC, far from overstating dangers and risks, have actually understated them is a study on projected rises in sea levels. When the researchers' analysis was "applied to the possible scenarios outlined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the researchers found that in 2100 sea levels would be 0.5–1.4 m [50–140 cm] above 1990 levels. These values are much greater than the 9–88 cm as projected by the IPCC itself in its Third Assessment Report, published in 2001". This may have been due, in part, to the expanding human understanding of climate. Question: Who projected the 1990 levels in the third assessment report? Output:
False
Ques: Overnight the clouds had rolled in and the summer was dead. I sat at my office window and drank coffee, looking out on a dirty brown Saturday that smelled like rain. Somebody knocked at the door and I swiveled around to see Pete McGreggor from down the hall. "Busy?" he asked. I shook my head and he came in, closing the door behind him. He poured a cup of coffee and sat down across from me. "Big shakeup last night," he said. "I just got a call to defend one of the Preacher's errand boys." "So they finally got to him," I said, remembering the furor that had raged in the newspapers a few months before. The law had never been able to break up the Preacher's drug operation, even though it was notorious as the biggest in Texas. "How'd they do it?" "It's very hush-hush," he said, steam from his coffee making his hair seem to ripple. "They squelched the story at the papers, hoping to pull in a couple more fish, I guess. But what I gather is that the thing was pulled off from the inside, from somebody high up in the organization. But nobody knows exactly who it was that sold out." "It'll all come clean at the trial, I suppose." He nodded. "Sooner than that, I expect. The DA told me confidentially that they'll have everything they need by five o'clock tonight. You'll see it all on the evening news." A sharp rapping came at the door and Pete stood up. "You've got business. I'll leave you to it." "It's probably bill collectors," I said. "I'll yell if they get rough." He opened the door and pushed past the two policemen that were waiting outside. They were both in uniform, but I only knew one of them. That was Brady, the tall, curly headed one that looked like an Irish middleweight. His partner was dark and nondescript, sporting a Police Academy moustache. Pete poured the coffee: Pick the correct answer from the following options: - after he knocked on the door - not enough information - after he told of the latest news - before the two police arrived Ans: after he knocked on the door Ques: I have no experience with a lazy 21 yr old. Both my older children have always been independent. My oldest moved out when she started college and never moved back in after she graduated. My other daughter wanted to move out as soon as she hit 21 but her dad and I gave her some rules or rather instructions she had to follow before she can pack her bags and move in with the boyfriend. 1st she had to show us that she had 3months rent saved up in her savings account. Not just her half of the rent but the whole rent. Which was about $3,600 dollars. You never know if something happens to her or she looses her part time job she can still pay her rent. Nobody wants an eviction on their record. 2nd since she was still going to school and we were paying for it we wanted to see proof every semester that she was enrolled. Education is a big deal to me. 3rd she had to get on BIRTH CONTROL. I don't want any ooops sorry Mom I am pregnant. Now I can't finish school because I have to work full time to pay for my baby.. I was a teen Mom and I didn't get to go to college so it is 100% important that my kids go and finish. She complied with all or requests and is doing remarkable. She has been out on her own for almost 2years . So I'm really don't have any advice to give but maybe if you show a little tough love and give your kid a kick in the pants and tell hi it's time to grow the hell up…. Get a job and pay some rent, or go to school and get an education. No more freeloading around here. Sorry that's all I got…. The author's 21 year old daughter probably feels that her mother is: Pick the correct answer from the following options: - Not her real mother - not enough information - Very permissive - Very controlling Ans: Very controlling Ques: Patch's mother was named Silver, because high summer sun made her fur shine that colour. She had a marvellous drey high up a spruce tree, carved out long ago by a woodpecker, and since extended into a two-chambered home full of bright things. The journey along the sky-road to her drey did not take long. When Patch looked inside, he saw a hundred colours glittering in the sunlight, shining from bits of metal and glass set into Silver's walls and floor. But his mother was not there. He could tell by the faintness of her smell that no squirrel had been here in some time. There were two faint traces of scent, several days old; that of Silver, and that of another squirrel, a musky scent that Patch did not recognize. A scent that made his tail stiffen as if danger was near. Patch stared into his mother's empty drey for a moment. It wasn't normal for a squirrel to abandon her drey for days, not in the middle of winter. And he hadn't seen Silver for three days. Not since all the acorns had disappeared from the earth. Patch ran back to his own tree, and then to the maple tree next door, to his brother Tuft's drey. He ran very fast. He was hungrier than ever, and he was beginning to be very worried. He was relieved when he looked into Tuft's drey and found it occupied. Tuft himself was not present, but Brighteyes was, and their babies, and it was clear from the smells that Tuft had only just departed. "Hello, Patch," Brighteyes said weakly. "Would you like to come in?" Patch entered. Brighteyes was curled up with her babies in the drey's deepest, warmest corner. The last time Patch had visited, a week ago, this had been a den of noise and chaos, with all Brighteyes' four babies running and jumping and playfighting. Today they lay weakly beside Brighteyes, and the once-shining eyes from which their mother had taken her name were dim and clouded. Why Patch's tail felt stiffen? Pick the correct answer from the following options: - The scent of a squirrel he didn't recognize. - not enough information - Uneasiness. - The winter wind. Ans:
The scent of a squirrel he didn't recognize.

In this task, you are given a part of an article. Your task is to generate headline (title) for this text. Preferred headlines are under fifteen words. [EX Q]: The practicality of a video surveillance system is adversely limited by the amount of queries that can be placed on human resources and their vigilance in response. To transcend this limitation, a major effort under way is to include software that (fully or at least semi) automatically mines video footage, reducing the burden imposed to the system. Herein, we propose a semi-supervised incremental learning framework for evolving visual streams in order to develop a robust and flexible track classification system. Our proposed method learns from consecutive batches by updating an ensemble in each time. It tries to strike a balance between performance of the system and amount of data which needs to be labelled. As no restriction is considered, the system can address many practical problems in an evolving multi-camera scenario, such as concept drift, class evolution and various length of video streams which have not been addressed before. Experiments were performed on synthetic as well as real-world visual data in non-stationary environments, showing high accuracy with fairly little human collaboration. [EX A]: Active Mining of Parallel Video Streams [EX Q]: Common activation functions used in neural networks can yield to training difficulties due to the saturation behavior of the activation function, which may hide dependencies which are not visible to first order (using only gradients). Gating mechanisms that use softly saturating activation functions to emulate the discrete switching of digital logic circuits are good examples of this. We propose to exploit the injection of appropriate noise so that some gradients may sometimes flow, even if the noiseless application of the activation function would yield zero gradient. Large noise will dominate the noise-free gradient and allow stochastic gradient descent to be more exploratory. By adding noise only to the problematic parts of the activation function we allow the optimization procedure to explore the boundary between the degenerate (saturating) and the well-behaved parts of the activation function. We also establish connections to simulated annealing, when the amount of noise is annealed down, making it easier to optimize hard objective functions. We find experimentally that replacing such saturating activation functions by by noisy variants helps training in many contexts, yielding state-of-the-art results on several datasets, especially when training seems to be the most difficult, e.g., when curriculum learning is necessary to obtain good results. [EX A]: Noisy Activation Functions [EX Q]: We provide a systematic analysis of levels of integration between discrete high-level reasoning and continuous low-level reasoning to address hybrid planning problems in robotics. We identify four distinct strategies for such an integration: (i) low-level checks are done for all possible cases in advance and then this information is used during plan generation, (ii) low-level checks are done exactly when they are needed during the search for a plan, (iii) first all plans are computed and then infeasible ones are filtered, and (iv) by means of replanning, after finding a plan, low-level checks identify whether it is infeasible or not; if it is infeasible, a new plan is computed considering the results of previous lowlevel checks. We perform experiments on hybrid planning problems in robotic manipulation and legged locomotion domains considering these four methods of integration, as well as some of their combinations. We analyze the usefulness of levels of integration in these domains, both from the point of view of computational efficiency (in time and space) and from the point of view of plan quality relative to its feasibility. We discuss advantages and disadvantages of each strategy in the light of experimental results and provide some guidelines on choosing proper strategies for a given domain. [EX A]:

In this task you will be given a passage and a yes/no question based on the passage. You should answer the question using the information from the passage. 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? Example solution: Yes Example explanation: Based on the passage, a franchise can be considered a small business.

In this task, you're given a question, along with a context passage which has extra information available on certain terms mentioned in it. Your job is to determine which sentence(s) from the passage can be used to search for further information needed to answer the question. -------- Question: Question: Do more than 1,000 people live in either town that made up the final sled dog mail route? Passage:Charlie Biederman (November 11, 1918February 22, 1995) was a musher in Alaska best known for being the last surviving dog sled mail carrier in the United States. Charlie was born in Alaska as the son of Ed Biederman, a musher born in Bohemia who immigrated to the United States in 1874 and also delivered the mail via dog sled. The date of Charlie's birth is unclear, but contemporary U.S. Censuses indicate it likely was around 1919. Charlie had four siblings. Charlie was raised in Eagle, Alaska, but lived in an isolated cabin on the Yukon River for most of his life. From an early age, he assisted his father and brother in their winter deliveries of the mail to isolated cabins in central Alaska. In winter, the family lived in Eagle and ran the mail route between that town and Circle, another small settlement approximately downriver. In the summer, the family lived at their Yukon River cabin, harvesting fish for subsistence and boarding the dogs of fellow mushers. In 1938, the family were underbid for the main contract for mail delivery in the area by a bush pilot. Ed Biederman retired shortly afterward and died in 1945. The final dog sled mail route was replaced in 1963. That final route was from Gambell to Savoonga and was run by Chester Noongwook. In January 1995, he donated the mail-delivery sled he used to the National Postal Museum in Washington, D.C., where it hangs today. One month after making the delivery, he died on February 22, 1995. Answer: That final route was from Gambell to Savoonga and was run by Chester Noongwook Question: Question: What country is the National Institute of Health located in? Passage:While working at the National Institute of Health, Lisziewicz worked to find a gene therapy approach to treat HIV/AIDS. She based her research on discovering if small portions of gene-stopping DNA (called antisense oligonucleotides) could be created to bind up the viral RNA in retroviruses like HIV so that the virus could not make more copies of itself to continue the infection. Small pieces of messenger RNA (or mRNA) carry a copy of the cell's DNA to the ribosomes where the mRNA directs the ribosomes to create the proteins that the cells need. Viruses (like HIV) have their own set of mRNA, and they use the ribosomes of the cell they infected to make new viruses to propagate the infection throughout the body. Lisziewicz's idea was to create antisense oligonucleotides that are complementary to the HIV's viral mRNA. These complementary DNA pieces can bind to the HIV viral mRNA and prevent the HIV virus from replicating itself. The use of antisense oligonucleotides worked very well in cell cultures, and was quickly transferred to clinical trials. Answer: While working at the National Institute of Health, Lisziewicz worked to find a gene therapy approach to treat HIV/AIDS Question: Question: When did the Second World War end? Passage:When the Second World War broke out in September 1939, Norway followed a policy of neutrality, as it had successfully done during the First World War, hoping to stay out of the war once again engulfing Europe. So Norway was at peace in April 1940 when it was suddenly attacked by naval, air and military forces from Nazi Germany. Unlike in the First World War, the Norwegian military was only partially mobilised, with the Royal Norwegian Navy and the coastal artillery being set up with skeleton crews. The Norwegian Army activated only a few battalions in North Norway (amongst others the Alta Battalion) as a precaution in connection with the Soviet Winter War invasion of Finland. Although the Norwegian Government had carried out a hurried modernisation of the military in the second half of the 1930s, the armed forces were still in a shambles. Effects of the wide-ranging budget reductions carried out during the pacifist policies of the late 1920s and early 1930s were still apparent. In 1940, the Norwegian armed forces were among the weakest in Europe. Answer:
When the Second World War broke out in September 1939, Norway followed a policy of neutrality, as it had successfully done during the First World War, hoping to stay out of the war once again engulfing Europe

Question: Information: - Montreal Locomotive Works (MLW) was a Canadian railway locomotive manufacturer which existed under several names from 1883 to 1985, producing both steam and diesel locomotives. For a number of years it was a subsidiary of the American Locomotive Company. MLW's headquarters and manufacturing facilities were located in Montreal, Quebec. - A locomotive or engine is a rail transport vehicle that provides the motive power for a train. The word originates from the Latin "loco" "from a place", ablative of "locus", "place" + Medieval Latin "motivus", "causing motion", and is a shortened form of the term "locomotive engine", first used in the early 19th century to distinguish between mobile and stationary steam engines. - A train is a form of rail transport consisting of a series of vehicles that usually runs along a rail track to transport cargo or passengers. Motive power is provided by a separate locomotive or individual motors in self-propelled multiple units. Although historically steam propulsion dominated, the most common modern forms are diesel and electric locomotives, the latter supplied by overhead wires or additional rails. Other energy sources include horses, engine or water-driven rope or wire winch, gravity, pneumatics, batteries, and gas turbines. Train tracks usually consist of two running rails, sometimes supplemented by additional rails such as electric conducting rails and rack rails, with a limited number of monorails and maglev guideways in the mix. The word 'train' comes from the Old French "trahiner", from the Latin "trahere" 'pull, draw'. - A classification yard (American and Canadian English) or marshalling yard (British, Hong Kong, Indian, Australian and Canadian English) is a railway yard found at some freight train stations, used to separate railway cars on to one of several tracks. First the cars are taken to a track, sometimes called a "lead" or a "drill". From there the cars are sent through a series of switches called a "ladder" onto the classification tracks. Larger yards tend to put the lead on an artificially built hill called a "hump" to use the force of gravity to propel the cars through the ladder. - A switcher or shunter (Great Britain: "shunter"; Australia: "shunter" or yard pilot; United States: "switcher", switch engine, or yard goat, except Pennsylvania Railroad: shifter) is a small railroad locomotive intended not for moving trains over long distances but rather for assembling trains ready for a road locomotive to take over, disassembling a train that has been brought in, and generally moving railroad cars around a process usually known as "switching" (USA) or "shunting" (UK). They do this in classification yards (Great Britain: "marshalling yards"). Switchers may also make short transfer runs and even be the only motive power on branch lines and switching and terminal railroads. The term can also be used to describe the workers operating these engines or engaged in directing shunting operations. - The Pennsylvania Railroad was an American Class I railroad, founded in 1846. Commonly referred to as the "Pennsy," the PRR was headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. - A railroad car or railcar (American and Canadian English), railway wagon or railway carriage (UK and IUR), also called a train car or train wagon, is a vehicle used for the carrying of cargo or passengers on a rail transport system (a railroad/railway). Such cars, when coupled together and hauled by one or more locomotives, form a train. Alternatively, some passenger cars are self-propelled in which case they may be either single railcars or make up multiple units. - The ALCO S2 and S4 were 1,000 horsepower ( 746 kW ) diesel electric switchers produced by ALCO and Canadian licensee Montreal Locomotive Works ( MLW ) . Basically , the two locomotives differed only in trucks , with the S - 2 using ALCO 's own `` Blunt '' trucks , and the S - 4 riding on standard AAR type A switcher trucks . Both were powered by ALCO 539 turbocharged , 6 - cylinder diesels . The S - 2 was built between August 1940 and June 1950 , with a total of 1502 completed , while the S - 4 was constructed between June 1949 and August 1957 ( MLW until 1957 ) with total sales of 797 . Canadian production of the S - 4 started more than a year before U S production of the S - 4 . ALCO did not start building the S - 4 until August 1950 . A modified version , the S - 7 , was built by MLW only ; 29 were built between June and August 1957 . - The American Locomotive Company, often shortened to ALCO, ALCo or Alco, designed, built and sold steam locomotives, diesel-electric locomotives, diesel engines and generators, specialized forgings, high quality steel, armed tanks and automobiles and produced nuclear energy. The American Locomotive Company was formed in 1901 by the merger of Schenectady Locomotive Engine Manufactory of Schenectady, New York with seven smaller locomotive manufacturers. What object entity has the relation of 'manufacturer' with the subject 'alco s-2 and s-4'? Choices: - american locomotive company - montreal locomotive works - pennsylvania railroad - philadelphia - train Answer:
american locomotive company

See all the can’t-miss looks from the 2015 SAG Awards Al Jazeera to MLB's Howard, Zimmerman: Don’t sue the messenger That’s what attorneys for Al Jazeera say about defamation lawsuits that ballplayers Ryan Howard and Ryan Zimmerman filed in January against the network over “The Dark Side,” last December’s explosive documentary alleging performance-enhancing drug use by pro athletes. The network, which shut down in April, filed papers Thursday seeking dismissal of the suits. “Nothing in the broadcast shows that Al Jazeera endorsed Sly’s statement,” the brief says, referring to steroid dealer Charlie Sly, whom Al Jazeera secretly filmed while he distributed drugs and described his business. Here are athletes like JPP who have sued the media Howard and Zimmerman have said in previous court filings that the documentary’s producers should have doubted Sly’s truthfulness because he was “engaged in an illegal business” and because his claims were “outlandish.” “There is no obvious reason for a reporter to disbelieve a source just because the source is engaged in an illegal or shady business that cannot be advertised,” write Al Jazeera’s attorneys. “Sources need not be paragons of virtue for journalists safely to rely on them.” Retired quarterback Peyton Manning, who was also named in the documentary, has denied its doping allegations but has so far declined to sue Al Jazeera. Howard and Zimmerman sued the network and the documentary’s chief reporter, Deborah Davies, in January, claiming the network libeled the players in part to boost ratings with sensationalism. The two players also sued Liam Collins, a British former track star who worked undercover with the network, posing as a potential customer for Sly while secretly filming him. Peyton Manning won't sue Al Jazeera over HGH link: report Sly recanted his accusations after receiving a visit from private investigators working for Manning. His recantations were included in the film even though the producers, the court papers say, “did not believe that the recantation was sincere." Major League Baseball banned journeyman catcher Taylor Teagarden for 80 games based on his appearance on camera in “The Dark Side” buying drugs from Sly. Sly worked as a pharmacist at the Guyer Institute of Molecular Medicine, an Indianapolis clinic that dispenses human growth hormone. Manning has admitted visiting the clinic, but denies his treatments there involved banned substances. He has also admitted Sly’s claims that his wife, Ashley Manning, received shipments of medicine from the clinic were true, but the quarterback did not identify the medication and said his wife did not share it with him. Photo finished? Howard pic complicates Al Jazeera lawsuit Sly recanted the statements he made to Al Jazeera shortly after the documentary aired last year. Please write a summary below. Don’t sue the messenger. That’s what attorneys for Al Jazeera say about defamation lawsuits filed in January. Dollar slips as Yellen shows no rush to raise rates Dollar bulls were disappointed by the absence of a more concrete timeframe for beginning the Fed's rate tightening cycle. "While it is clear that the Fed still seems geared towards hiking rates, possibly mid-year, I think Yellen didn't give a particularly concrete assessment of that," said Mitul Kotecha, head of FX strategy, Asia-Pacific, for Barclays in Singapore. Read MoreI strongly oppose 'Audit the Fed,' Yellen says The dollar slipped 0.2 percent to 118.73 yen. The dollar had set a 12-day high of 119.84 yen on Tuesday in a knee-jerk reaction to early headlines from Yellen's testimony, but later gave back those gains as markets figured the Fed is in no hurry to raise rates. However, the dollar didn't move too far from recent levels, still moving inside the 118.11-120.48 yen range it has stuck to over the past two weeks. "Yellen's latest statements were taken as dovish more or less. But the removal of the word 'patient' at the March meeting now looks certain, and that would provide an opportunity to buy the dollar again," said Daisuke Karakama, market economist at Mizuho Bank in Tokyo. The euro edged up 0.1 percent to $1.1346, having pulled up from Tuesday's intraday low of $1.1288. The euro zone's approval of Greece's reform plan, a requirement for Athens to receive a four-month loan extension, shored up the common currency. The Australian dollar rose 0.6 percent to $0.7874, aided by the greenback's broad weakness and a survey showing that activity in China's mammoth factory sector edged up to a four-month high in February. The Australian dollar is often seen as a liquid proxy of Chinese growth prospects due to Australia's large trade exposure to China. Please write a summary below.
The dollar edged down against the yen Janet Yellen suggested the Fed won't be rushed into kicking off the U.S. interest rate tightening cycle.

Context: "The Thuringian Realm existed until 531 and later, the Landgraviate of Thuringia was the largest state in the region, persisting between 1131 and 1247. Afterwards there was no state named Thuringia, nevertheless the term commonly described the region between the Harz mountains in the north, the Weiße Elster river in the east, the Franconian Forest in the south and the Werra river in the west. After the Treaty of Leipzig, Thuringia had its own dynasty again, the Ernestine Wettins. Their various lands formed the Free State of Thuringia, founded in 1920, together with some other small principalities.

Q: Given the following passage "Under mounting political pressure, John finally negotiated terms for a reconciliation, and the papal terms for submission were accepted in the presence of the papal legate Pandulf Verraccio in May 1213 at the Templar Church at Dover. As part of the deal, John offered to surrender the Kingdom of England to the papacy for a feudal service of 1,000 marks (equivalent to £666 at the time) annually: 700 marks (£466) for England and 300 marks (£200) for Ireland, as well as recompensing the church for revenue lost during the crisis. The agreement was formalised in the Bulla Aurea, or Golden Bull. This resolution produced mixed responses. Although some chroniclers felt that John had been humiliated by the sequence of events, there was little public reaction. Innocent benefited from the resolution of his long-standing English problem, but John probably gained more, as Innocent became a firm supporter of John for the rest of his reign, backing him in both domestic and continental policy issues. Innocent immediately turned against Philip, calling upon him to reject plans to invade England and to sue for peace. John paid some of the compensation money he had promised the church, but he ceased making payments in late 1214, leaving two-thirds of the sum unpaid; Innocent appears to have conveniently forgotten this debt for the good of the wider relationship.", answer the following question. Note that the answer is present within the text. Question: What happen to the unpaid money owed A: forgotten this debt Q: Given the following passage "Romila Thapar notes that the division into Hindu-Muslim-British periods of Indian history gives too much weight to "ruling dynasties and foreign invasions", neglecting the social-economic history which often showed a strong continuity.

Problem: Article: Knee-high socks are important if you’re not wearing stockings, but you can style them to be a noticeable part of your outfit rather than just a boring necessity. Wear knee-high or thigh-high socks that extend over the edge of your boots. Look for socks with frills or lace at the ends. You can also choose to wear a bold color or socks with designs if you want them to be noticed. These are great alternatives if you don’t want to wear socks. Stockings can be worn during all seasons, and they add a classier look to your outfits. You can choose nude, black, patterned, or even colored stockings. Leggings can also be worn during any time of the year, but they are great for colder weather because they provide extra warmth. Look for leggings with fleece lining if you are looking for extra warmth. Wear fishnets with your boots if you are going for a sexy or edgy look. If you’re wearing your boots during colder weather, a beanie is a great choice to pair with over-the-knee boots. Beanies are best for casual looks, but then can be dressed up with a nice jacket. You can wear a brightly colored beanie, a beanie with a pom-pom top, a beanie with a design, or a black or nude beanie if you are going for a subtle look. Consider the color of your boots and outfit when picking a beanie. Beanies aren’t the only type of hat you can match with boots. If you want to dress your look up, you can wear a beret, cloche, derby, or floppy hat. If you’re wearing long cowboy boots, a cowboy hat would be a good match. Consider the type of outfit you’re wearing. A beret can work for jeans or dress pants, but it would not look as good with a dress. A floppy and cloche hat would be a great match for a dress. Match your accessories with the material or color of your books. For example, if you’re wearing leather boots, wear leather accessories. Wear leather gloves and a purse with your boots. Look for velvet or suede accessories if you’re wearing suede or velvet. If you can’t find accessories made of the same material as your boots, choose a color that matches or complements them. With blue boots, you can choose orange accessories as a complementary color. Summary: Pair the boots with knee-high socks. Wear stockings or leggings. Choose a beanie. Put on a beret or cloche hat. Match your accessories with your boots. In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Nearly any container can be converted into a great caterpillar home as long as you are able to secure the caterpillar and provide it air holes. Since caterpillars can crawl up the sides, it’s important to have a cover for its home. Otherwise, it’ll crawl away. If you have an aquarium or terrarium that allows air to flow through a lid made of screen netting, then you can use it instead of a jar. Check to make sure that the entire aquarium or terrarium is secure so that your caterpillar won’t escape. Your caterpillar needs to breathe, so use a porous material like cheesecloth as a lid. Make sure that your cheesecloth doesn’t have holes that are big enough for the caterpillar to crawl through. You can secure the cheesecloth to your jar or pot with a large rubberband. If you don’t have cheesecloth, you can try using plastic wrap with plenty of holes poked in it. Don’t use a metal jar lid because it can harm the caterpillar. You can use dirt from your yard or generic potting soil. If you find the caterpillar in nature, collect dirt from the area the caterpillar is living. Don’t take dirt from protected land, such as natural parks. Make your caterpillar comfortable by incorporating bits of its natural habitat. Your caterpillar will appreciate having places to crawl and hide. Collect grass, twigs, and leaves from where you found the caterpillar. Do NOT put water into your caterpillar’s home because it will drown. You need to change out your caterpillar’s leaves daily or at least every other day because the leaves will decay. If your caterpillar is on the old leaves, put in the new leaves and wait for it to crawl onto the new leaves on its own. Once it’s crawled over to the new leaves, you can remove the old ones. Caterpillars produce a lot of waste called frass, so you need to clean its home at least once a day to prevent mold or harm to your caterpillar. Use a paper towel to wipe the frass from the cage. If you want to follow your caterpillar’s natural life cycle, the place it on a porch, balcony, or in a garden if you have one. Note that placing a glass jar in full sun on a warm day for even a few minutes can cook your caterpillar, so choose your outdoor location carefully. Keep your caterpillar warm. The caterpillar will hibernate during the winter, so a cold caterpillar will not be as active. If you’re keeping it inside your house, consider putting it on a windowsill. Summary:
Find a large jar or flower pot. Create a breathable lid. Put a 2-3 inch layer of dirt into your jar or pot. Add grass, twigs, and leaves. Change out the leaves regularly. Clean your caterpillar’s home. Place your caterpillar’s home outside.

After helping fellow mercenaries test and ship weapons to South Africa, Ryker begins to have ethical concerns about his involvement. He eventually distances himself from the others, and rents a flat in London. He falls into hippie culture, and begins dating a girl named Chrissie. Jesse tracks down Ryker. Explaining that the operation is not producing the profits he expected, he tries to convince Ryker to return. Ryker declines, but develops a plan with Jesse to thwart the operation and take the money for themselves. They succeed and escape with Bradshaw's car. A weapons dealer named Rawlings pursues them. Jesse discovers that their "take" is somewhat less than the amount of cash they supposedly embezzled.

His young son, Paul, witnesses the three deaths, and is traumatized. Twenty-five years later, in 1980, Paul is incarcerated at a psychiatric institution near Stanford Bay, a small town on the Oregon Coast. One day, Paul manages to murder an orderly, and subsequently retrieves a beloved wooden flute given to him by his father before escaping the institution. Local teenager Marion is struggling to adjust to her disability—she survived a car accident several years prior, caused by her drunken father Frank, which left her unable to walk without the help of a leg brace. She is plagued by bizarre dreams, which she comes to discover are in fact premonitions; while in the hospital after her accident, she received a blood transfusion from Paul, which has given her extrasensory perception into Paul's actions. Marion's home life is troubled, with her father being verbally abusive to her and her mother, Bea, and she dreams of leaving Stanford Bay once her fisherman boyfriend, Joey, obtains a job in Portland. Meanwhile, Paul hitchhikes with a truck driver whom he bludgeons to death with a hatchet, and then steals his vehicle. He subsequently picks up a female hitchhiker, who he brings to a local motel in Stanford Bay, and murders her after failing to charm her with his flute-playing. Marion's psychic visions of Paul's murders increase in frequency and intensity, and sh soon witnesses him in person disposing of a body on a rural beach, making her his next target. Marion manages to elude to Paul, but he later discovers where she lives, and infiltrates her home, killing Frank. Struggling to walk, Marion manages to flee her home to an adjacent sawmill, and is pursued by Paul. While chasing Marion, Paul impales a worker with a forklift, and then inadvertently crashes through a barrier, driving the forklift off the pier and into the bay. answer the following question: What is the name of the person who is verbally abusive to Marion???? output answer: Frank input question: Given the following context: Monument 6 is a zoomorph sculpture discovered during the construction of the road that passes the site.

While Reznor—the only official member until adding Atticus Ross in 2016—controls its creative and musical direction in the studio, the touring band performs different arrangements of the songs. In addition to regular concerts, the band has performed in both supporting and headlining roles at festivals such as Woodstock '94, Lollapalooza 1991 and 2008, and many other one-off performances including the MTV Video Music Awards. Prior to their 2013 tour, the band had played 938 gigs.Nine Inch Nails' live performances contrast with its in-studio counterpart. Reznor writes and performs nearly all Nine Inch Nails studio material, with occasional instrumental and vocal contributions from others artists. However, Reznor has typically assembled groups of backing musicians to interpret songs for tours and other live performances. Keyboardist Alessandro Cortini said that "if you see the show and you're used to the CDs it's pretty clear that the studio entity is different from the live entity".The only constant member of the live band is Reznor. Live Nine Inch Nails performances are typically accompanied by lighting, stage, and video projection effects. Since 1999, the visual design components of live shows have been curated by Reznor with Rob Sheridan. Three tours have been chronicled on live albums and tour documentaries. Critical and commercial response to Nine Inch Nails live performances has generally been positive. Critics have pointed to the concerts' aggressive on-stage dynamic and visual designs as high points. Reznor decided in 2008 to cease touring with the band after a 2009 farewell tour. The band resumed touring in 2013, with the group planning a set of concerts in the U.S. beginning September 28. answer the following question: When did Nine Inch Nails return to touring after its lead singer decided to cease touring with the band???? output answer:
2013

Given a passage and a query based on the passage, generate an unambiguous, concise and simple answer to the query from information in the passage. Note that the answer may not be present in exact form. Input: Consider Input: Average charitable donations by income. The short answer is that the average itemized tax return includes $4,790 in charitable deductions, but that doesn't tell the entire story. First, not everyone who donates to charity can use the charitable deduction. To get the tax break, you need to itemize deductions on your tax return. The IRS has long required taxpayers to subtract the value of anything they receive in return for a charitable contribution before taking a deduction, so someone who gets a $5 tote bag for a $50 donation to a public TV station, for example, can only deduct $45. The national average in 2015 for deductions for state and local taxes, or SALT, was $12,471, and sponsors of the new tax law said the $10,000 cap combined with lower rates should protect most Americans from facing a higher tax bill. As a result, nonprofits are pushing Republicans to include something else in their tax plan that they say would increase charitable donations, but keep taxes simple: They want something called a universal charitable deduction, which taxpayers would get on top of the standard deduction. De Leon is proposing that California provide a credit on its state income tax for amounts given to a state charitable fund as a way to get around the part of the new federal tax law that limits deductions for state income taxes but not for charitable contributions. You may deduct charitable contributions of money or property made to qualified organizations if you itemize your deductions. Generally, you may deduct up to 50 percent of your adjusted gross income, but 20 percent and 30 percent limitations apply in some cases. Nonprofits Fear House Republican Tax Bill Would Hurt Charitable Giving Even though Republicans promise to preserve the deduction for charitable donations, nonprofits say other proposed changes in the bill could discourage as much as $13 billion in annual giving. Accessibility links Charitable Contribution Deductions. This article generally explains the rules covering income tax deductions for charitable contributions by individuals. You can find a more comprehensive discussion of these rules in Publication 526, Charitable Contributions, and Publication 561, Determining the Value of Donated Property. For information about the substantiation and disclosure requirements for charitable contributions, see Publication 1771. “The tax benefit of a federal or state charitable contribution is not regarded as a return benefit that negates the charitable intent,” the IRS memo said, citing federal tax court rulings in 1985, 1989, and 1991. Deductions for charitable gifts do not face the same limit as deductions for state and local taxes, a fact California and New Jersey want to exploit. Query: average charitable deduction Output: The average itemized tax return includes $4,790 in charitable deductions Input: Consider Input: How long should I keep tax returns? In most cases, you should plan on keeping tax returns along with any supporting documents for a period of at least three years following the date you filed or the due date of your tax return, whichever is later. If, for example, you find that you failed to claim a credit on an old return that would've given you a refund, you can amend that return using Form 1040X within three years of its original filing date, or within two years of the date you paid taxes for that return -- whichever is later. Holding on to your old tax records can also work out in your favor. Just as the IRS gets three years to re-examine old tax returns, so, too, can individual tax filers claim refunds up to three years after the fact. How Long Should I Keep My Tax Returns? Don't be too quick to toss out your old tax returns. You should hang onto those forms for a minimum of three years -- sometimes more. That said, the IRS will advise you to keep your old tax returns and records even longer in the following situations: You failed to report income for a given year, and that amount exceeds 25% of the gross income shown on your return. You filed a fraudulent return. You didn't file a return for a given tax year. That said, the IRS will advise you to keep your old tax returns and records even longer in the following situations: 1 You failed to report income for a given year, and that amount exceeds 25% of the gross income shown on your return. 2 You filed a fraudulent return. 3 You didn't file a return for a given tax year. Tax returns sent on or before the deadline. You should keep your records for at least 22 months after the end of the tax year the tax return is for. If you send your 2015 to 2016 tax return online by 31 January 2017, keep your records until at least the end of January 2018. It's natural to want to clear out your filing cabinets and free up more space, but when it comes to tax returns, you shouldn't be too quick to toss out old information. The IRS gets three years from each year's tax filing deadline to audit and reassess old returns. Editor’s Note: If your tax return is still buried under a pile of papers next to your computer, it’s probably time to do a little organizing. To help get you set we asked Anna Sandall of the Tax Institute the best practices involved in keeping tax records including how long you should hold onto those past returns. So for example, if you filed your 2015 tax return on February 1, 2016, you should have kept the return and supporting documents until at least April 15, 2017. What tax records should I keep? You should keep every tax return and supporting forms. This includes W-2s, 1099s, expense tracking, mileage logs if you itemize and other documents. So why is keeping tax returns for three years important? Keeping tax returns for the three-year time period is tied to the IRS statute of limitations. Query: how long do i keep my tax return? Output: In most cases, you should plan on keeping tax returns along with any supporting documents for a period of at least three years following the date you filed or the due date of your tax return. Input: Consider Input: Eventually, radiation pressure from the star blows away the envelope and the new star begins its evolution. The properties and lifetime of the new star depend on the amount of gas that remains trapped. A star like our sun has a lifetime of about 10 billion years and is just middle-aged, with another five billion years or so left. And once the fusion reactions begin, they exert an outward pressure. As long as the inward force of gravity and the outward force generated by the fusion reactions are equal, the star remains stable. Clouds of gas are common in our galaxy and in other galaxies like ours. These clouds are called nebulae. A typical nebula is many light-years across and contains enough mass to make several thousand stars the size of our sun. The majority of the gas in nebulae consists of molecules of hydrogen and helium--but most nebulae also contain atoms of other elements, as well as some surprisingly complex organic molecules. STAR BIRTHS are started when the interstellar matter in gas clouds, such as the Eagle Nebula shown here, compresses and fuses. Irregularities in the density of the gas causes a net gravitational force that pulls the gas molecules closer together. NGC 6326, a planetary nebula with glowing wisps of outpouring gas that are lit up by a binary central star. A planetary nebula, often abbreviated as PN or plural PNe, is a kind of emission nebula consisting of an expanding, glowing shell of ionized gas ejected from old red giant stars late in their lives. A star is born when atoms of light elements are squeezed under enough pressure for their nuclei to undergo fusion. All stars are the result of a balance of forces: the force of gravity compresses atoms in interstellar gas until the fusion reactions begin. Most planetary nebulae form at the end of the star's life, during the red giant phase, when the outer layers of the star are expelled by strong stellar winds. After most of the red giant's atmosphere is dissipated, the ultraviolet radiation of the hot luminous core, called a planetary nebula nucleus (PNN), ionizes the ejected material. A planetary nebula, abbreviated as PN or plural PNe, is a kind of emission nebula consisting of an expanding, glowing shell of ionized gas ejected from red giant stars late in their lives. The word nebula is Latin for mist or cloud, and the term planetary nebula is a misnomer that originated in the 1780s with astronomer William Herschel because, when viewed through his telescope, these objects resemble the rounded shapes of planets. Herschel's name for these objects was popularly adopted and A planetary nebula, often abbreviated as PN or plural PNe, is a kind of emission nebula consisting of an expanding, glowing shell of ionized gas ejected from old red giant stars late in their lives.[2] The word nebula is Latin for mist or cloud, and the term planetary nebula is a misnomer that originated in the 1780s with astronomer William ... Theoretical models predict that planetary nebulae can form from main-sequence stars of between one and eight solar masses, which puts the progenitor star's age at greater than 40 million years. Although there are a few hundred known open clusters within that age range, a variety of reasons limit the chances of finding a planetary nebula within. Planetary nebula - Membership in clusters. 1 Planetary nebulae have been detected as members in four Galactic globular clusters: Messier 15, Messier 22, NGC 6441 and Palomar 6. Query: at what point does a star form from a nebula
Output: A star is born when atoms of light elements are squeezed under enough pressure for their nuclei to undergo fusion.

It is an occasion which offers all of us an opportunity to remember not only the sick, the aged, and children who have lost their parents, but also friends, workmates, s and neighbors whose helpfulness and kindness we have enjoyed. Over 60 years ago, when a Cleveland man noticed that some people, such as children who lost their parents and patients who lay in bed, too often felt forgotten and _ , he developed in his mind the idea of showing them that they were remembered. He did this by giving them small gifts. With the help of his friends and neighbors, he gave those people small gifts on a Saturday in October. During the years that followed, other Clevelanders began to take part in the celebration, which came to be called "Sweetest Day". Over time, the Sweetest Day idea of spreading cheer to the poor, the sick and children who had lost their parents was broadened to include everyone, and became an occasion for remembering others with a kind act or a small gift. Soon the idea spread to other cities all over the USA. Sweetest Day is not based on any single group's religious beliefs or on a family relationship. It is a reminder that a thoughtful word or deed enriches life and gives it meaning. Because for many people remembering takes the form of gift giving, Sweetest Day offers us the opportunity to show others that we care, in a positive way. ---- Answer: Question: Which of the following has little relationship to Sweetest Day?Options:A Visiting sick people of the hospital.B Visiting children who have lost their parents.C Giving friends small gifts.D Giving flowers to sweethearts.Answer:D Q: Write a multi-choice question for the following article: Article: If you're like most kids, you've probably made more than a few paper airplanes in your day. But how many kids can say their paper airplanes have been built life-size and then flown? At least one: 12-year-old Arturo Veldenegro of Tucson, Arizona, who won the Pima Air& Space Museum's first annual Great Paper Airplane Project Fly-Off in March 2012. " The purpose of the competition is to inspire and draw kids' interest in science and flight," says Tim Vimmerstedt, director of the museum. About 150 kids entered the competition. The young designers learned about how airplanes fly and then set to work designing their own planes. Arturo designed and built his airplane. When hen was finished, he took his plane to the flight area and let it fly, outdistancing the other competitors in all age groups. At last, Arturo's airplane flew the farthest---more than 75 feet! As the winner, Arturo got to meet with a team of engineers, which took his design and made a bigger one. The new paper airplane might have been the largest one ever built! Arturo named his large paper airplane Arturo's Desert Eagle. Later a helicopter tried to lift the paper airplane over the Arizona desert, but it was unsuccessful. Engineers worked for eight hours to repair it for a second try. This time, the helicopter managed to raise it to 2700 feet and then set the plane free. Arturo watched as his plane flew through the sky at speeds of up to 98 miles per hour for 10 seconds before falling to pieces. "I felt happy but sad," Arturo says, " It flew really well, but it was sad to see it destroyed." But that wasn't the end of Arturo's Desert Eagle. The Pima Air & Space Museum collected the pieces of the broken plane and put them on show to inspire other young engineers to reach for the sky.

At the time of independence , Mozambique lacked a national television network , so a newsreel program was the only way to reach the population through visual media . The first cultural act of President Machel 's government was the establishment of the Kuxa Kanema weekly newsreel program . The newsreels were shown in Mozambique 's relatively few cinemas in the 35mm format . In the rural areas , mobile units provided by the Soviet Union offered the newsreels in the 16mm format . Machel 's government , however , did not finance or encourage the creation of a film industry designed strictly for entertainment value . The film also details the struggle to get INC up and running : Mozambique had no film industry or film schools ( Brazilian and Cuban instructors were flown in to offer on - the - spot educational training ) . The resulting newsreels were shot in black - in - white because color film was too expensive . Machel 's death in an airplane crash in 1986 , coupled with guerrilla attacks launched by the apartheid governments of South Africa and Rhodesia that destabilized Mozambique to the point of civil war , helped to kill this program . Many of the cinemas in the cities were damaged in the civil war , while the rural presentations of Kuxa Kanema were cancelled due to the lack of safe passage along rural roads . By the end of the conflict , national television had been established and there was no call for a theatrical newsreel presentation .

Read the following article and answer the question. Article: When I was ten, my mother worked all day so I had to take care of my younger brother. At that time my little brother was about four years old and he missed mum all the time. One day, after I had given him his dinner, he started crying for mum. He was so young and really needed mum. So I dressed him, put on his shoes, carried him on my back and walked out. Soon he fell asleep. About half an hour late, I found that he had lost a shoe while sleeping. I took him off my back and put him down. I knew we needed to find that shoe, for our mother couldn`t afford new shoes. We had to go back to find it, so I told my brother to Wait right here. A man heard it and stopped me just before I walked off. He asked me, "You are leaving your brother here to find the shoe? What would you do if he is not here when you return?"

Part 1. Definition Generate an appropriate title for the given text. The generated title must be short and include the main topic of the text. The preferred titles are under fifteen words. Part 2. Example But Eluned Morgan conceded that it would be "difficult for us to stop" from a legal point of view. Her comments were criticised by a Labour AM. Alun Davies said threatening legal action "sounds like the last breath before you're thrown out of the pub". Mr Davies said he was not convinced the Welsh Government would "have a leg to stand on" in trying to shape international trade deals after Brexit. Following Donald Trump's comments during last week's trade visit that the NHS would be "on the table" in any future trade talks between the UK and the USA, Eluned Morgan said there was "absolutely no prospect whatsoever of us allowing the Welsh NHS to be part of any negotiation." The US President then rowed back on his initial comments following criticism from a number of MPs. Asked about her response to President Trump's remarks as she gave evidence to the Assembly's Brexit committee on Monday, Ms Morgan said "legally, it would be difficult for us to stop because we don't have a veto over trade". "Politically, I think it's extremely unlikely to happen," the international relations and the Welsh language minister said. "They [the UK Government] should not be concluding any trade agreements without consulting us where we have the power." Ms Morgan explained that UK and Welsh government officials are working on an agreement or 'concordat' for how future trade deals are negotiated. During a robust exchange, the Labour AM Alun Davies said: "I want something which is in law to which I can hold you to account and which colleagues in Westminster can hold the UK Government to account. "The argument we'll make life difficult for them, it sounds alright on the street, but it's not the reality of intergovernmental relations." "The United Kingdom has to find a way of functioning. "At the moment, your answers aren't giving me any confidence that there is that structure in place because, if the Welsh Government's argument is, 'we'll see you in court', it's not a very impressive argument either for the continuation of the structure of United Kingdom as a state or the commitment of the government within the United Kingdom to actually work together," he added. Responding to the criticism, Ms Morgan said: "Is the current intergovernmental structure adequate? "Absolutely not... and it's not just in relation to trade, it's in relation to almost every aspect of government policy. So, that infrastructure needs to be built." Answer: NHS Wales: Court action if trade deals affect service? Explanation: The output phrase is the appropriate title for the given text and it highlights the essence of the passage. Part 3. Exercise The all-party parliamentary group (APPG) on taxis will call for powers to be granted to City Hall, in a report to be published on Wednesday. Chairman Wes Streeting said London's streets were being "clogged up with empty minicabs" which were adding to "toxic air pollution". Sadiq Khan said being able to cap numbers would "make a real difference". "The number of private hire drivers has doubled to nearly 120,000 since 2010, causing significant congestion and air quality problems for London," he said. However, Uber has disputed the figures saying there are currently about 87,000 private hire vehicles licensed in London. The MPs report also calls for the closing of a loophole that it says allows minicab drivers to acquire licences in areas with less stringent conditions. "Londoners should be able take a taxi or a minicab with the confidence that their driver has a licence issued in London in line with our tough safety standards", Mr Streeting said. A spokesperson for Uber said "capping consumer choice is not the way to tackle congestion and air pollution". The spokesperson said a recent report by traffic expert Inrix showed congestion was worsening in the capital "because of a huge increase in roadworks like the new cycle lanes and a large rise in delivery vehicles" and not as a result of minicabs. Minicab driver Ash Raoh told the BBC a cap might force him "out of a job". He said it would be "very unfair". "I work hard, 12-14 hours every day, to earn a fair living rather than signing on to the dole," he said. Answer:
Mayor of London should have power to limit minicabs, MPs say

History
Question: Given the following passage "Recent molecular phylogenetic studies suggest that most placental orders diverged about 100 to 85 million years ago and that modern families appeared in the period from the late Eocene through the Miocene. But paleontologists object that no placental fossils have been found from before the end of the Cretaceous. The earliest undisputed fossils of placentals come from the early Paleocene, after the extinction of the dinosaurs. In particular, scientists have recently identified an early Paleocene animal named Protungulatum donnae as one of the first placental mammals. The earliest known ancestor of primates is Archicebus achilles from around 55 million years ago. This tiny primate weighed 20–30 grams (0.7–1.1 ounce) and could fit within a human palm.", answer the following question. Note that the answer is present within the text.
